- 0:15Speaker 4: With Nick Eatman. What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.
- 0:24Speaker 4: It is Tuesday, April the ninth. I'm Nick Eatman here
- 0:27Speaker 4: and we are ready to get this thing rolling. A
- 0:31Speaker 4: couple of weeks to go. Two and a half weeks
- 0:33Speaker 4: before the draft. This is kind of that dead period
- 0:36Speaker 4: of time where you don't see a lot of things happening.
- 0:39Speaker 4: You know, you get kind of close to the draft,
- 0:42Speaker 4: it's like, all right, we've we've done everything in free agency,
- 0:45Speaker 4: right insert joke. But everything's done there and then you're
- 0:49Speaker 4: waiting a little bit to see what happens in the draft,
- 0:52Speaker 4: and then they'll be maybe a little bit of wave
- 0:54Speaker 4: after that of some moves. I still think the Cowboys
- 0:58Speaker 4: are going to do a few more things. Still got
- 1:00Speaker 4: to get a running back at some point. But we'll
- 1:03Speaker 4: see and I'll hear from you guys and see what
- 1:05Speaker 4: you think. What will happen here, if anything, in the
- 1:09Speaker 4: next few weeks, or just talk about the draft. Eight
- 1:11Speaker 4: eight eight, eight, five five two two nine seven. The
- 1:13Speaker 4: text line eight one seven two nine zero three two
- 1:16Speaker 4: nine eight. Let's get started here. Let's go with Jeff
- 1:20Speaker 4: in Salt Lake City.
- 1:22Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, what's up?
- 1:23Speaker 4: Hey? How you doing?
- 1:25Speaker 6: I'm all right?
- 1:26Speaker 7: How are you?
- 1:26Speaker 4: I'm good? What's up?
- 1:27Speaker 2: Man?
- 1:28Speaker 8: I didn't want to start out with how you doing?
- 1:31Speaker 8: Just based on your show from last Thursday, I thought
- 1:34Speaker 8: that commentary was pretty funny.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Yeah with that, but go ahead, Sorry, No, I mean,
- 1:41Speaker 4: it's just it's normal, you know, you just say hey,
- 1:43Speaker 4: I was good. Good? I mean when they when they
- 1:46Speaker 4: But that's what happens when you walk by someone in
- 1:48Speaker 4: the hallway, Hey, how you doing. No one stops and
- 1:50Speaker 4: as well, let me tell you yeah, exactly.
- 1:55Speaker 8: I got a comment and a question for you. I
- 1:58Speaker 8: listened to the Thursday show this past weekend, and I
- 2:00Speaker 8: believe it was Joe from Stanford Stanford or Stanford that said,
- 2:05Speaker 8: you know, he's he's pretty like with all the players
- 2:09Speaker 8: that we've lost, you know, this offseason, he was kind
- 2:12Speaker 8: of excited, you know, with all the young players that
- 2:14Speaker 8: are going to be coming up and you know, getting
- 2:17Speaker 8: more time such as Sam Williams, Goldstin and all that.
- 2:20Speaker 8: And I feel the same way too with the draft
- 2:24Speaker 8: coming up. You know, I think I think we'll probably
- 2:27Speaker 8: focus more on the offense. You know, there's at least
- 2:30Speaker 8: three starting spots available, and I'm with you. I think
- 2:33Speaker 8: the second round they got to take a running back
- 2:35Speaker 8: and I wouldn't be against that. I think we need
- 2:37Speaker 8: a dynamic running back. And I think the defense I
- 2:41Speaker 8: think will be okay. Other than Jonathan Hankins, A lot
- 2:44Speaker 8: of those players that we lost were depth, depth pieces,
- 2:47Speaker 8: so I think we'll be okay. One thing, and this
- 2:50Speaker 8: is kind of towards my question for you, one thing
- 2:52Speaker 8: that does kind of concern me is the cornerback position
- 2:56Speaker 8: outside of the top three, and with Trayvon Diggs coming
- 3:00Speaker 8: back from his ACL, I don't see a lot of
- 3:02Speaker 8: depth there, although they do have some young guys within Sean.
- 3:05Speaker 9: Wright and all that.
- 3:07Speaker 6: But what's your.
- 3:08Speaker 8: Thoughts on moving Israel mccualmou back to corner because you know,
- 3:13Speaker 8: two years ago, towards the end of the season, after
- 3:15Speaker 8: they lost Anthony Brown, and in that playoff game against
- 3:19Speaker 8: the Niners, he played a pretty big role and I
- 3:21Speaker 8: thought he did pretty well, especially covering in the slot
- 3:24Speaker 8: for his size. So I just like your opinion on
- 3:27Speaker 8: that and then my past player just with the draft coming.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Up Rob Patiti.
- 3:32Speaker 8: I believe he was a seventh round pick in the
- 3:35Speaker 8: Bill Parcels era.
- 3:36Speaker 4: That's right, all right, thank you Jeff for the call.
- 3:40Speaker 4: We just did a documentary on the two thousand and
- 3:43Speaker 4: five draft class and he was a part of that.
- 3:46Speaker 4: He played a little bit. He played that first year.
- 3:50Speaker 4: He had to start some believe it right tackle, But
- 3:53Speaker 4: you know, he wasn't a big focus of that documentary.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Obviously there's a lot more defensive guys and of course Barber,
- 4:00Speaker 4: but but yeah, he was that. He only played a
- 4:04Speaker 4: little bit, but you know he did play something that
- 4:07Speaker 4: first year. Uh, your question about mcwamu, I mean, like,
- 4:11Speaker 4: you know, when he was drafted. I remember him saying
- 4:14Speaker 4: he told Dan Quinn he was like, I'm gonna be
- 4:17Speaker 4: the best cornerback in the draft. And they're like, that's cool,
- 4:19Speaker 4: We're moving you to safety. And he was like, oh, okay,
- 4:22Speaker 4: well I'm gonna be the best safety. You know, you
- 4:23Speaker 4: know what I mean. Confidence there. But but my point
- 4:26Speaker 4: is is that going into draft, I mean, he didn't
- 4:29Speaker 4: know he was kind of a little bit of both.
- 4:31Speaker 4: I mean, he played opposite of J. C. Horne at
- 4:33Speaker 4: South Carolina at a corner and so he's got the
- 4:37Speaker 4: skills to do it. It wasn't like he was playing
- 4:39Speaker 4: in Division two. I mean it was SEC, so he
- 4:42Speaker 4: he could. I think he could do that. And I
- 4:43Speaker 4: don't think that's a bad idea at all, especially with
- 4:45Speaker 4: the fact when Marquise Bell, similar type player but a
- 4:49Speaker 4: little bit more tweener from safety linebacker is moving back
- 4:53Speaker 4: to safety. So you got some you got some depth
- 4:55Speaker 4: that's safety there. And I think, you know mcwamae, that
- 4:58Speaker 4: would be that wouldn't be a bad move. I mean,
- 5:00Speaker 4: you have a couple of corners that are in the
- 5:02Speaker 4: same boat their draft picks. They're they're you know, in
- 5:05Speaker 4: their third and fourth years on Nayseean Wright being the other, tall, lanky,
- 5:10Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I could I could see that
- 5:12Speaker 4: kind of being the case. But I'm not really worried
- 5:14Speaker 4: about the depth, you know. I mean, you got two
- 5:18Speaker 4: guys that have you know, led the league in interceptions,
- 5:20Speaker 4: you know, you know in the last three seasons now
- 5:22Speaker 4: with Digs and Bland, you got playmakers. Jordan Lewis is
- 5:26Speaker 4: a good slot guy. So I think, you know, you
- 5:28Speaker 4: can't have a ton of depth at all positions. I
- 5:30Speaker 4: think it's a it's a pretty strong position. And then
- 5:34Speaker 4: of course now you're looking at some guys behind him.
- 5:36Speaker 4: But no, that's a good idea about mkwamme I mean,
- 5:38Speaker 4: or at least be a tweener guy that could do
- 5:40Speaker 4: a little bit of both. All right, Dylan in Northport,
- 5:43Speaker 4: Florida's next, Dylan, how you doing good?
- 5:49Speaker 10: Just got a question for you. I'm a little confused
- 5:52Speaker 10: on some of these contracts I'm looking up. Are is
- 5:54Speaker 10: that Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence both on the last year
- 5:56Speaker 10: of their deal as well?
- 5:57Speaker 4: Like CD, they well they have void years. It's like
- 6:01Speaker 4: dak it'll it could void.
- 6:04Speaker 10: I mean, so, I mean, but they're unrestricted free agents
- 6:07Speaker 10: next year, right, Like they could leave and then Dallas
- 6:10Speaker 10: is stuck with the void money.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I could when the contract ends. Yes, yes,
- 6:14Speaker 4: that could happen for both of those guys.
- 6:16Speaker 10: Geez man. So then you've got CD, Zach and DeMarcus
- 6:19Speaker 10: Lawrence this year. Then you've got to figure out or
- 6:21Speaker 10: you know, after the season or during the season, and
- 6:24Speaker 10: the next year you got Micah Jake Ferguson, dron Bland.
- 6:28Speaker 10: What the heck is going on here? I'm looking at
- 6:30Speaker 10: these numbers and I'm starting to freak out a little
- 6:31Speaker 10: bit because I haven't heard anything except for Dak and
- 6:33Speaker 10: CD so far. But now this is looking a little
- 6:36Speaker 10: scary for the next two years.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think they're gonna be a good
- 6:41Speaker 4: team this year and able to compete next year. I
- 6:45Speaker 4: don't know. Next year is going to be a challenge
- 6:47Speaker 4: for sure, but I mean now to me, like that's
- 6:52Speaker 4: their their job to focus on that. And also there's
- 6:55Speaker 4: gonna be more things happening that you don't even know about,
- 6:58Speaker 4: or less things happen. To me, just the narrative changes
- 7:02Speaker 4: all the time, you know, Like you just mentioned Duran Bland.
- 7:04Speaker 4: He would never be in your talk last year about
- 7:07Speaker 4: contract and things like that. He played his way into that,
- 7:11Speaker 4: and so that that's part of it. I mean, all
- 7:13Speaker 4: I'm saying is you're not wrong. It's something to think about.
- 7:16Speaker 4: But but but there's a there's a good part about
- 7:18Speaker 4: him is that you know they're here, they're on your team,
- 7:21Speaker 4: they're good players, so you.
- 7:23Speaker 10: Know, yeah, yeah, no doubt. Do you think that that's
- 7:26Speaker 10: playing into like the conversation with Dak, like that's on
- 7:28Speaker 10: their mind. Look what we got to do the next
- 7:30Speaker 10: two to three years, let's figure out what we got
- 7:32Speaker 10: to do with dak as it pertains for the rest
- 7:33Speaker 10: of the roster as well. Or I mean, I'm sure
- 7:36Speaker 10: that it's probably on their mind, right.
- 7:38Speaker 4: It has to be. It has to be on their mind.
- 7:40Speaker 4: And I think that, you know, I hate using this
- 7:44Speaker 4: phrase because it's been overplayed, overused, and it never was
- 7:47Speaker 4: supposed to even be mentioned. But this season is kind
- 7:52Speaker 4: of all in in that in that terms. It's not
- 7:54Speaker 4: it wasn't in free agency. It was already kind of there.
- 7:58Speaker 4: This is where they are, This is this is the
- 8:00Speaker 4: this is gonna be their best chance. I would think
- 8:03Speaker 4: unless something dramatic changes, I would think this is gonna
- 8:05Speaker 4: be their best chance to really have a good team.
- 8:08Speaker 4: And I still I mean, they were good last year.
- 8:10Speaker 4: This was a good football team. They need to make
- 8:13Speaker 4: some tweaks. They lost some guys, but they also feel
- 8:16Speaker 4: like they can replace some of those guys.
- 8:18Speaker 10: So yeah, yeah, And you can't keep every superstar forever,
- 8:22Speaker 10: and I guess that plays into their philosophy of drafting
- 8:24Speaker 10: the guys and replacing him as time goes on that
- 8:27Speaker 10: way with cheap talent.
- 8:28Speaker 4: So Dylan, I'll say this, I think you can keep
- 8:31Speaker 4: every superstar forever. But you're but the problem is is
- 8:37Speaker 4: they're not always superstars. They were they were, you know,
- 8:40Speaker 4: I think when they're when they stopped becoming a superstar,
- 8:43Speaker 4: and you hope it times out just right where the
- 8:46Speaker 4: contract and then how much you've got for them, and
- 8:48Speaker 4: it rarely does, you know what I mean, it rarely
- 8:51Speaker 4: does you have a decision to make. Do they still
- 8:53Speaker 4: have some good years left, do they have great years left?
- 8:56Speaker 4: If so, what's their value they're worth? All that kind
- 8:59Speaker 4: of stuff. It's it's it's tough to kind of plan out,
- 9:01Speaker 4: but you want to keep your superstars, you know. But
- 9:04Speaker 4: emtts Mit, Troy Eigman, Deon Sanders, they were all released
- 9:07Speaker 4: by this.
- 9:07Speaker 10: Team, you know, yeahs Zach Martin and DeMarcus Sponger getting
- 9:10Speaker 10: up there in H two, So I'll be curious to
- 9:11Speaker 10: see what happens there if you keep all these guys too.
- 9:14Speaker 10: I mean, they're all cornerstones. You've got like six cornerstone
- 9:16Speaker 10: players here. You're gonna hurt for depth as well.
- 9:19Speaker 11: Down the trough.
- 9:19Speaker 10: I think unless you can draft really well, you're just
- 9:21Speaker 10: gonna keep bringing in kind of band aids down down
- 9:24Speaker 10: the trough. So just something interesting. I was thinking about
- 9:26Speaker 10: man a real quick favorite guide movie. I missed that
- 9:29Speaker 10: last week. It was a Casino. I think Makett movies
- 9:31Speaker 10: probably count, so I'll go.
- 9:32Speaker 4: With Casino Casino. All right. Yeah, I don't know if
- 9:35Speaker 4: I've seen that one. Probably I'm sure I would. I'd
- 9:39Speaker 4: like that. I mean, I like Rounders. I like that one.
- 9:41Speaker 4: That's kind of a good movie and not really Casino,
- 9:44Speaker 4: but as a poker movie with Matt Damon. That's that's
- 9:47Speaker 4: one of my favorites. Uh, that's what every time it's on,
- 9:50Speaker 4: I'm watching that one for sure. All Right, all right, John,
- 9:53Speaker 4: thanks appreciate the call.
- 9:55Speaker 6: All right.
- 9:57Speaker 4: That reminds me a little bit though. Let me get
- 9:59Speaker 4: the text line up here. Eight one seven two nine
- 10:02Speaker 4: zero three two nine eight. So Dylan was on the
- 10:06Speaker 4: the all Storyline team that we announced a few weeks ago. Uh,
- 10:11Speaker 4: first team All Storyline, and uh, that reminds me. Now
- 10:16Speaker 4: we're getting we're moving on this, We're moving on the
- 10:18Speaker 4: T shirts. We're gonna this is gonna happen for sure.
- 10:22Speaker 4: But uh, you know with T shirts you gotta get
- 10:24Speaker 4: specific sizes and stuff like that. So that's what I'm
- 10:28Speaker 4: asking the guys that were on the all storyline team
- 10:31Speaker 4: to text it in the eight one seven two nine
- 10:33Speaker 4: zero three two nine eight. I want to text your
- 10:35Speaker 4: address and your shirt size so we can get you
- 10:38Speaker 4: the right one. And I would imagine we're gonna get
- 10:40Speaker 4: people on there that weren't on the team. They'll send
- 10:42Speaker 4: it in anyways. That's fine. We have the list. We
- 10:45Speaker 4: will sift through it. Uh for sure. But uh eight
- 10:48Speaker 4: one seven, two nine zero three two nine eight. If
- 10:50Speaker 4: you're on the team, doesn't matter, first, second, third on
- 10:53Speaker 4: a bunch, it doesn't matter. Send in your your address
- 10:56Speaker 4: and your if you're comfortable doing that. If if so,
- 10:59Speaker 4: then we'll have to figure out another way. But that
- 11:02Speaker 4: and your your shirt size so we can get you
- 11:05Speaker 4: the proper size there. All right, I'm gonna take a
- 11:07Speaker 4: break here. Uh okay, we'll take a call. Sorry, I'm sorry.
- 11:13Speaker 4: My computer died.
- 11:14Speaker 12: I'm sorry.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Oh computer died. Well, we're gonna take a phone call here.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I'll just answer it. I know it's Ali in Florida.
- 11:22Speaker 4: All right, you turn my volume down here, Ali? What's up?
- 11:28Speaker 2: Hi?
- 11:28Speaker 1: Nick?
- 11:29Speaker 6: How about you?
- 11:30Speaker 4: Good? Are you doing?
- 11:31Speaker 13: Are are you good?
- 11:32Speaker 6: First? I want to congratulate you. I was thinking about you.
- 11:38Speaker 6: John Caliparry is going to Arkansas. It's just like, I'm
- 11:42Speaker 6: not an Arkansas fan, but I'm happy for you.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, I'm happy. I'm happy as well. I've
- 11:48Speaker 4: been very excited about this. I've been very excited about
- 11:52Speaker 4: the basketball team that didn't make the tournament. But uh,
- 11:55Speaker 4: our expectations have gone up now, so awesome.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:58Speaker 6: So you know the basketball team, they're going to bring
- 12:01Speaker 6: a lot of great football players too, you know.
- 12:04Speaker 2: So yeah, So I got.
- 12:07Speaker 6: A question for you and trivia and opinion very quick.
- 12:14Speaker 6: Do you think a Mester Jones ever listened to your podcast? Okay,
- 12:21Speaker 6: which NBA coach was drafted as a wide receiver by
- 12:28Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys. You can answer me later. You know that
- 12:34Speaker 6: it's only one, yeah, exactly. Okay, So my opinion is this.
- 12:43Speaker 6: I think Jerry Jones and the Steven everybody they put
- 12:48Speaker 6: the best foot forward. I don't think they ever tried
- 12:52Speaker 6: to cut the corners and stuff. But I think the
- 12:56Speaker 6: NFL salary cap it's kind of flops. For example, they
- 13:02Speaker 6: got fifty three players through the salary cap this year
- 13:08Speaker 6: was two hundred thirty million, which thirty million was just
- 13:12Speaker 6: like an extra So if you pay not just the caboys.
- 13:17Speaker 6: Pay the caboy the bag fifty million, Mike Call twenty
- 13:23Speaker 6: five million, CD Lamp twenty five million. These are just
- 13:28Speaker 6: like an almost pretty decent number. That's one hundred million dollars.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Then you got two hundred thirty million, You got another
- 13:40Speaker 6: fifty players. You got to divide the rest of them.
- 13:44Speaker 6: So what they're doing, they are paying attention to television
- 13:48Speaker 6: revenue streamlining, but they're diluting the good team like Buffalo
- 13:56Speaker 6: and all these good teams are forced to lose players,
- 14:01Speaker 6: some to salary cap, then you don't see those quality
- 14:05Speaker 6: teams like a couple of years ago Kansas City Buffalo
- 14:10Speaker 6: that had a great playoff game. And I think this
- 14:14Speaker 6: eventually is going to take a toll on every team
- 14:19Speaker 6: to forced to make a lot of decisions we still
- 14:21Speaker 6: don't want to do. That's all I have.
- 14:24Speaker 4: OK, thank you, Sarah, all right, thank you Alli.
- 14:28Speaker 2: You know.
- 14:31Speaker 4: You're talking about the model of of what this is
- 14:34Speaker 4: right now, how the cap is structured, and it happens
- 14:39Speaker 4: sometimes and I think the quarterback market is taking this
- 14:43Speaker 4: out of whack. Of course, it seems like the quarterback
- 14:47Speaker 4: market is moving at a faster pace than the actual
- 14:52Speaker 4: overall salary cap and creating a value to the quarterback
- 14:56Speaker 4: that is probably even inflated, even though they're it's important.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I mean, obviously having a quarterback is important, but it's
- 15:05Speaker 4: it's putting a huge strain on your rest of your team,
- 15:09Speaker 4: and you know, it may be something that they have
- 15:12Speaker 4: to figure out for sure. But sorry, I'm losing my
- 15:15Speaker 4: voice again. But but you're not wrong. You're not wrong
- 15:20Speaker 4: in that, and it's kind of worrisome a little bit.
- 15:22Speaker 4: They're going to have to figure that out. Somebody said
- 15:24Speaker 4: the other day, maybe make it the court. You know,
- 15:26Speaker 4: I've heard this argument you a couple of times. Make
- 15:28Speaker 4: this make separate for the salary cap for the quarterback.
- 15:33Speaker 4: But what what what I'd hate to see happen is
- 15:38Speaker 4: teams start taking the approach like they do for running
- 15:42Speaker 4: backs and say, we'll draft a quarterback, we'll we'll build
- 15:47Speaker 4: around him, and we'll try to win, and then when
- 15:50Speaker 4: it's time to pay him, we'll probably try to get
- 15:53Speaker 4: someone someone else. That's very, very risky because it's different
- 15:57Speaker 4: than just running the football of playing quarterback and being
- 16:01Speaker 4: the leader and all that. But it almost feels like
- 16:03Speaker 4: we're getting getting to that point, and so that would
- 16:06Speaker 4: be sad if it happens like that. So hopefully there
- 16:09Speaker 4: could be something done. But you know, if you keep
- 16:13Speaker 4: you can't just keep making the salary cap bigger and bigger.
- 16:15Speaker 4: But you got to figure out a way to keep
- 16:18Speaker 4: the quarterback inting there to a point where and I'm
- 16:20Speaker 4: sure there's ways to do it. There's ways to do
- 16:23Speaker 4: the salary cap that way. But yeah, that's a good point,
- 16:26Speaker 4: Ali that you're you're kind of wondering down the line,
- 16:28Speaker 4: this could be a problem. All right, let's go to
- 16:31Speaker 4: Randy and Texter Canada or Text Arkansas.
- 16:35Speaker 13: There you go. How you doing today?
- 16:37Speaker 4: I'm good. How are you doing well?
- 16:40Speaker 13: I figured you'd remember that last called me.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
- 16:44Speaker 13: Sure all right, so hey, you know I don't get
- 16:47Speaker 13: to listen to the show and Tom. On my way
- 16:49Speaker 13: back from Oklahoma back to text Cannon, I listened to it,
- 16:53Speaker 13: and first of all, oh my god, I hate the
- 16:56Speaker 13: way I sound on the radio. I always thought I
- 16:58Speaker 13: had a happy Mdday voice.
- 17:00Speaker 4: I love, I love felt.
- 17:03Speaker 13: Closer to Gomer Paul than what I was expecting.
- 17:06Speaker 4: But that's okay, that's okay, good show, good show.
- 17:11Speaker 13: I heard, uh I heard the nice things you had
- 17:13Speaker 13: to say about me. I'm gonna tell you next time
- 17:15Speaker 13: you're in tex Kenny, you can uh poller at me.
- 17:18Speaker 13: Chris has got my phone number there on color Id
- 17:20Speaker 13: the wife come out. I got a house out in
- 17:22Speaker 13: the country. We do some karaokeing and getting after it.
- 17:27Speaker 4: I bet you bet you? What is your karaoke song?
- 17:30Speaker 7: Oh?
- 17:31Speaker 13: I got two of them. Let's say Creep by Radiohead.
- 17:36Speaker 13: I think that's their name, Crepe and and then my
- 17:39Speaker 13: for sure go to is uh comfortably known King Floyd. Okay,
- 17:44Speaker 13: I think I handled those two pretty well. But okay, yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 13: what's yours?
- 17:49Speaker 4: And Juice? Juice by Snoop Dog.
- 17:52Speaker 13: I mean really, yeah, there you go, no doubt, only song.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I've ever really done, only song I've ever done on karaoke,
- 18:00Speaker 4: So you go, that might be our next theme. What's
- 18:02Speaker 4: your karaoke song? If you had to do it? Awesome?
- 18:05Speaker 13: All there you go?
- 18:06Speaker 4: All right? Rady h what do you got?
- 18:08Speaker 13: All right? So, I don't know why, you know, everybody
- 18:11Speaker 13: calls the NFL copycat League, and for whatever reason, this
- 18:15Speaker 13: has not been copied, And I was just gonna see
- 18:17Speaker 13: what you had to say about it. But the eighty
- 18:20Speaker 13: six Bears offense, Believe it or not, Refrigerator Perry one
- 18:26Speaker 13: yard line, go line. You hear a year after year
- 18:29Speaker 13: all the Cowboys got to get a big running back.
- 18:31Speaker 13: We need that one yard. Why is it do they
- 18:34Speaker 13: not use a backup linebacker, backup de tackle, whatever it is?
- 18:40Speaker 13: Tell them, look, don't worry about making a move, don't
- 18:43Speaker 13: look for a hole. I'm just gonna put the ball
- 18:45Speaker 13: in your belly. You hold on to it with both hands,
- 18:48Speaker 13: and you go forward as far as you can. I
- 18:52Speaker 13: don't I see a high percentage of that making it
- 18:55Speaker 13: one yard to the goal and to the end zone.
- 18:57Speaker 13: And I just don't understand why more people don't try that.
- 18:59Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, you're right, I mean it now you
- 19:05Speaker 4: see it some. I mean, it still happens, and it
- 19:08Speaker 4: happens I've seen in college football. Some it seems like
- 19:11Speaker 4: it was happening more with just more blockers, like you
- 19:15Speaker 4: see those big defensive linemen out there. Maybe not to
- 19:18Speaker 4: give them the football, you know, I mean, think about
- 19:24Speaker 4: the Dolphins game this last year. You know, the Cowboys
- 19:28Speaker 4: started off, I mean they they they're looking great, They're
- 19:30Speaker 4: going down, they're getting fourth downs and a hundred lift.
- 19:33Speaker 4: He's doing the work. I mean, he's got three or
- 19:35Speaker 4: four big plays there, and now it's first and goal
- 19:37Speaker 4: from the one. Uh, you know, and and Pollard should
- 19:41Speaker 4: have got in he didn't, but his first goal with
- 19:42Speaker 4: the once, No one's that worried because first goal and
- 19:45Speaker 4: then a running back who has got the football several
- 19:49Speaker 4: times in his life fumbles the ball and how deflating
- 19:53Speaker 4: it was. It wasn't doesn't mean the Cowboys couldn't have
- 19:55Speaker 4: won that game. But but obviously you know that that
- 19:58Speaker 4: was a huge play early in the game. And so
- 20:00Speaker 4: that's probably where a lot of this comes from. You know,
- 20:03Speaker 4: you could do it when the when you had the
- 20:05Speaker 4: eighty five Bears and you and the Fridge fumbled at
- 20:08Speaker 4: the one, they're probably going to get safety. You know,
- 20:11Speaker 4: like that was so good, so you could lean on that.
- 20:14Speaker 4: Plus you did have the all time leading rusher at
- 20:16Speaker 4: the time, Walter Payton, also running the ball and stuff
- 20:20Speaker 4: like that.
- 20:21Speaker 13: So and he was mad because he.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Was in the Super Bowl and the and and Mike
- 20:27Speaker 4: said it for years, I messed up. He probably said
- 20:29Speaker 4: a different word, but he said I messed up. I
- 20:31Speaker 4: should If I would have known, I would have given
- 20:33Speaker 4: the ball to him and and they should have people
- 20:35Speaker 4: also forget Jim McMahon, I think ran for a couple
- 20:38Speaker 4: of himself and Matt Sewey scored a couple, so they
- 20:41Speaker 4: could have gotten Sweetness the ball for sure. But whatever, anyways,
- 20:48Speaker 4: wouldn't you.
- 20:49Speaker 13: Like to see uh Osa back there? Maybe? You know,
- 20:52Speaker 13: they keep talking about he's got you know, the agilities
- 20:54Speaker 13: and the athleticism and like surprise them and if, let's say,
- 20:59Speaker 13: if Parsons will still be on the team next year,
- 21:01Speaker 13: you never know, get him the ball, they man. He
- 21:05Speaker 13: I don't know if you've seen his highlights when he
- 21:07Speaker 13: was in high school, but he was bulldozing people running
- 21:10Speaker 13: eighty ninety yard. I mean, yeah, I get that you
- 21:14Speaker 13: don't want to wear him out because he has so
- 21:16Speaker 13: many plays on defense. But you know what, if you
- 21:18Speaker 13: have that in the game plan to use him, just
- 21:21Speaker 13: give him a few reps off on the defense ahead
- 21:24Speaker 13: of time, just kind of playing it in. I wouldn't
- 21:26Speaker 13: say do it all the time, of course not, but
- 21:28Speaker 13: every once in a while something like that would would
- 21:31Speaker 13: be different and nice.
- 21:32Speaker 4: You know, he would score, There's no doubt about it,
- 21:35Speaker 4: he would say, absolutely, I have no doubt that Micah
- 21:38Speaker 4: Parsons would score from the two.
- 21:39Speaker 13: Yard line or what exactly.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Doubt I'm with you, but but you know, I'll say
- 21:44Speaker 4: this like, I mean, I don't know you name the
- 21:47Speaker 4: player and I'm not I don't even want to throw
- 21:50Speaker 4: it out there, you know, but name the the linebacker.
- 21:53Speaker 4: You know, they had a guy named Devin Harper seventh
- 21:56Speaker 4: round pick, you know, a few years ago, or Luke Gifford, remember,
- 22:00Speaker 4: And I bet you they are all balling out in
- 22:02Speaker 4: high school, you know what I mean. That's just the
- 22:05Speaker 4: way it is. But I do think Mike is special
- 22:08Speaker 4: and I think he can do the spot. I mean,
- 22:10Speaker 4: I've seen Mike Parsons literally say, hey, give you know,
- 22:15Speaker 4: give me a better bat for this home run derby,
- 22:17Speaker 4: and I think I can hit a couple of home
- 22:19Speaker 4: runs here. And he's sitting he said, a guy to
- 22:21Speaker 4: the to the sporting Good story and he comes back
- 22:24Speaker 4: with a five hundred dollars bat and he was hitting
- 22:26Speaker 4: him into the you know, into the neighborhood next door.
- 22:30Speaker 4: So yeah, he could do He's a good bowler. We've
- 22:33Speaker 4: seen him run. I bet he could do it. We
- 22:35Speaker 4: see him play basketball. It was m v P at
- 22:37Speaker 4: that celebrity game, so they could do he could do
- 22:41Speaker 4: just anything. So all right, Randy, good stuff.
- 22:45Speaker 13: I appreciate you guys, and Chris. I hope everything went
- 22:48Speaker 13: good yesterday with the scope. You probably should have just
- 22:51Speaker 13: pooped in the box. That's what I did. It's a lot.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Easier, awesome, we're doing this, huh awesome, man, you.
- 22:59Speaker 13: Know, y'all, y'all put it out there. Man, I'm fifty,
- 23:03Speaker 13: y'alls forties. Hey, it's part of life. It's not the
- 23:08Speaker 13: best thing, but it's it's a lot easier than what
- 23:10Speaker 13: you did. So all right, Rady, all right, all right, god, y'all,
- 23:13Speaker 13: I'm going yeah.
- 23:15Speaker 4: That thing, just that call just went to crap literally.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Wow, all right, wow.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Go I thought you Chris, hold on. I thought you'd
- 23:23Speaker 4: just say, hey, what's your name?
- 23:24Speaker 6: Cool?
- 23:25Speaker 4: Uh, put you on hold. We'll get right to you.
- 23:28Speaker 4: I mean, what kind of conversations are you having back there?
- 23:30Speaker 12: Had nothing that with him.
- 23:31Speaker 13: It probably wasn't.
- 23:32Speaker 12: He's probably still listening, actually, but that, uh, that came
- 23:36Speaker 12: up on hanging with the boys because of Shannon, because
- 23:39Speaker 12: they've been trying to get Shannon too the doctor, because
- 23:42Speaker 12: Shannon hasn't been a doctor, and like you know, Shannon
- 23:44Speaker 12: is as long a doctor, so that they went up
- 23:46Speaker 12: on hanging with boys and he said, I'm going to
- 23:49Speaker 12: the doctor, and now Shannon's going the same doctor, and
- 23:51Speaker 12: then he's gonna do the same.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Thing, so okay, whatever.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Cool.
- 23:55Speaker 4: That's basically it went down. Okay. I thought I thought
- 23:57Speaker 4: you were like, hey, how you doing? It's like, what'd
- 23:59Speaker 4: you do today? I thought.
- 24:03Speaker 12: These guys watch more than one show.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Come on, I get it. I just didn't. I don't,
- 24:07Speaker 4: so I didn't realize they were talking about all right,
- 24:11Speaker 4: that was cool Randy. Randy is, he's awesome, he's he's
- 24:15Speaker 4: a great caller. Now he's not the champ though. I
- 24:18Speaker 4: mean there's only one Champ, and that's the guy from
- 24:21Speaker 4: the three o eight in Nebraska. Champ.
- 24:25Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 24:26Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 24:28Speaker 2: I can't complain one bit having post clips day. How
- 24:33Speaker 2: was that you get to see it?
- 24:34Speaker 4: Yes, yes I did. I'll admit I was a little
- 24:38Speaker 4: I was one of those that was like, all right,
- 24:40Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure it'll be okay, this will be neat,
- 24:43Speaker 4: you know cool. I don't know what the big deal is,
- 24:45Speaker 4: but yeah, it'll be neat. And and I thought it
- 24:48Speaker 4: was gonna be underwhelming, I did, and I was wrong.
- 24:50Speaker 4: It was pretty freaking cool. Yeah, I was. I was impressed,
- 24:55Speaker 4: uh with with just also just the predictability of it's
- 24:59Speaker 4: gonna happened twenty twenty four this day at one forty four.
- 25:02Speaker 4: I mean it pretty much, did you know? So right,
- 25:05Speaker 4: it's pretty cool.
- 25:06Speaker 2: The nice was predictive twenty years out already twenty forty four.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
- 25:10Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable. We got to see it
- 25:13Speaker 2: up here in Nebraska in twenty seventeen, and same, I
- 25:16Speaker 2: thought man taught that big a deal and that day
- 25:19Speaker 2: it was really kind of cool.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like just Independence Day just takes over
- 25:24Speaker 4: for like four minutes.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah. I got a little question off of
- 25:29Speaker 2: all these questions about mister Jones listening to the podcast,
- 25:32Speaker 2: what about players? Do you know if they listen? Has
- 25:34Speaker 2: anybody ever told you that they tune in?
- 25:37Speaker 4: No? No, but no, they'd be on the all storyline
- 25:40Speaker 4: team if they did. No, I haven't. I haven't really
- 25:45Speaker 4: heard of that, but you know, I don't think. I
- 25:48Speaker 4: don't know, And the players really don't listen to much
- 25:52Speaker 4: of anything. Usually what happens is is a player's friend,
- 25:55Speaker 4: the player's family, parent, whatever, maybe their mom, somebody will
- 26:01Speaker 4: listen and then it's like, oh, did you hear what
- 26:04Speaker 4: they've said about you? And it's never said the right
- 26:07Speaker 4: way and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, I mean,
- 26:10Speaker 4: I'm Romo said something one time about something he had
- 26:13Speaker 4: heard I said on the podcast, and I had to
- 26:16Speaker 4: kind of straighten it out with him a little bit.
- 26:18Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean, uh, it's never really them listening.
- 26:23Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I'd be surprised, but it's so, hey, call up.
- 26:29Speaker 14: So so my main question though, is so I saw
- 26:34Speaker 14: some stuff that does Bryant kind of tweeted about Michael
- 26:38Speaker 14: Parson's kind of letting them know like, hey, this is
- 26:41Speaker 14: the energy because there was some a news story that
- 26:44Speaker 14: came out that Micaeh's kind of his ice is wearing thin,
- 26:48Speaker 14: his act and whatnot here in Dallas. And then des
- 26:51Speaker 14: comes out and tweets, hey.
- 26:53Speaker 2: I've been do this kind of like they're not wanting
- 26:56Speaker 2: to pay you basically is what he's saying. What like
- 27:01Speaker 2: do you give that credit? Like it's he accurate? And
- 27:05Speaker 2: the stuff he says about the franchise, was he a
- 27:10Speaker 2: disgruntled player when he was here? Oh Man more than
- 27:13Speaker 2: what we already heard. And my player is being a
- 27:18Speaker 2: Texas tech fan. You got any stories on Zach Thomas
- 27:22Speaker 2: in the short time he was there?
- 27:24Speaker 4: Zach Thomas, uh No, not not really stories. Just a good, good,
- 27:30Speaker 4: solid pro that wanted to hang on for one more year.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Probably his family loved the fact that he played for
- 27:35Speaker 4: the Cowboys. You know, he's a Texas guy. But I
- 27:39Speaker 4: actually saw him at the Hall of Fame? Was it
- 27:43Speaker 4: last last year whenever d.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Weear got Yeah, yeah.
- 27:47Speaker 4: And I talked to him and we did a quick
- 27:50Speaker 4: little interview, you know, as a you know, you don't
- 27:52Speaker 4: remember me or anything like that, but you're here for
- 27:54Speaker 4: for one year and you know, you're we still counted
- 27:57Speaker 4: as a Cowboy going into you know, Hall of Fame.
- 27:59Speaker 4: But I talked to him for a little bit. But yeah,
- 28:01Speaker 4: he was just a pros pro, always was, and I
- 28:05Speaker 4: don't remember a ton about him in that season. I'm
- 28:11Speaker 4: actually watching Dez Bryant right now here on NFL Network
- 28:15Speaker 4: against the game against the Rams that they're showing. You know,
- 28:19Speaker 4: let me be careful with what I say here. I
- 28:21Speaker 4: think I think former players are they're they're they're very
- 28:26Speaker 4: vocal sometimes when they want to be what are they
- 28:29Speaker 4: gonna do? Get suspended, get cut hind, you known't get
- 28:33Speaker 4: their playing time. I mean sometimes they say stuff to
- 28:36Speaker 4: so you still talk about him, you know, you're still
- 28:38Speaker 4: still remembering him. I don't think it has I don't know.
- 28:42Speaker 4: If it's a money thing, I don't. I don't know
- 28:44Speaker 4: if it's that. I think there's something to it. I
- 28:48Speaker 4: mean there, I mean, does anybody say anything about CD.
- 28:51Speaker 4: CD's trying to get money too. I mean, like, but
- 28:53Speaker 4: CD doesn't do the same things that that that Micah
- 28:58Speaker 4: you know, is doing at this point. I mean, it's
- 29:02Speaker 4: just it's just the way it is. And so it's
- 29:05Speaker 4: not the first time that Des is thrown out something
- 29:08Speaker 4: that happens and thinks that the organization is trying to
- 29:12Speaker 4: spend this when it comes to a contract. He did that,
- 29:17Speaker 4: you know, he did that not too long ago, you know,
- 29:20Speaker 4: with about Trayvon Diggs who got a contract. So that
- 29:24Speaker 4: wasn't the case. So I don't know if it's always accurate.
- 29:26Speaker 4: I really I really don't. But you know, Des outstanding
- 29:31Speaker 4: football player when he was here, especially for the first
- 29:35Speaker 4: what six seven years of his career. Outstanding. He still
- 29:37Speaker 4: owns the record for most touchdowns, and he was fun
- 29:40Speaker 4: to watch. He was definitely fun to watch. But you know,
- 29:43Speaker 4: I mean, I I don't say that just about Dez.
- 29:46Speaker 4: I say this about any former player that sometimes will
- 29:50Speaker 4: say this locker room is this, or this team needs
- 29:53Speaker 4: to do this, or this is the problem. When I
- 29:56Speaker 4: just have a hard time thinking that. You know, like you,
- 29:59Speaker 4: you you know the team, you know your team, you
- 30:02Speaker 4: know the organization, but you don't necessarily know this team
- 30:04Speaker 4: this locker room right now. So I do think sometimes
- 30:07Speaker 4: players kind of say too much when they don't know
- 30:12Speaker 4: about the current situation, even though they go off of
- 30:15Speaker 4: their own memories and history and that stuff's great too.
- 30:18Speaker 4: I mean, like they you know, we have guys breaking
- 30:20Speaker 4: down football all the time that aren't in the locker room,
- 30:23Speaker 4: but they know football, and that's fine. But when you
- 30:25Speaker 4: start saying this is the problem with this current team,
- 30:28Speaker 4: I think I think they're overstepping a little bit. So
- 30:30Speaker 4: that's that's what I take.
- 30:32Speaker 2: That's great to hear because I listen to. Like I said,
- 30:35Speaker 2: I try to catch all the podcasts, especially right now
- 30:37Speaker 2: are in the off season or it's only once a
- 30:40Speaker 2: week for most of them, and a couple of the
- 30:42Speaker 2: podcasts that have ex players on them tend to I
- 30:46Speaker 2: hope the players aren't listening.
- 30:48Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, so I can see.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Where some of those misconceptions from family can happen. And
- 30:54Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know that we need, yeah, be
- 30:58Speaker 2: perceived of negativity lot of times.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Well, and I get it, but but then again, this
- 31:05Speaker 4: is this is the tough part about this. If you're
- 31:08Speaker 4: not if you're not negative at all, then then yeah,
- 31:13Speaker 4: you guys don't want to hear that. I mean, we
- 31:16Speaker 4: see it. I mean, this team underachieved last year. At
- 31:20Speaker 4: the end of the season, it was a great season,
- 31:22Speaker 4: a great football team, and and they got their ass
- 31:25Speaker 4: kicked by the team that just snuck in with less
- 31:28Speaker 4: talented players. But they were the better team by far
- 31:32Speaker 4: that day, and that was tough pill to swallow. And
- 31:34Speaker 4: if you don't, if you're not negative towards that, then
- 31:36Speaker 4: you're just never negative in life, you know.
- 31:40Speaker 2: So yeah, so all right, all right, I appreciate it.
- 31:45Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Let's let's take a break, Chris,
- 31:51Speaker 4: Can we take a break real quick? Of course? All right,
- 31:54Speaker 4: just take a quick break. We'll be right back here
- 31:55Speaker 4: on Cowboy storyline.
- 31:58Speaker 15: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and that
- 31:59Speaker 15: you to Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he
- 32:02Speaker 15: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to
- 32:05Speaker 15: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles
- 32:08Speaker 15: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT
- 32:10Speaker 15: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,
- 32:13Speaker 15: and he learned the best thing to do is stop
- 32:15Speaker 15: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew
- 32:18Speaker 15: At and T five G. Fast reliable, secure, It's not complicated.
- 32:22Speaker 16: Five G requires compatible plan and device five G may
- 32:24Speaker 16: not be available in your area. See att dot com
- 32:26Speaker 16: Slash five G for you for details.
- 32:27Speaker 9: Cowboys fans, after that move, we've just coined the term
- 32:30Speaker 9: rowdy replay.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Let's roll back the table.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Okay, there's our mascot rowdy cheering on the boys, And

- 36:04Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline.
- 36:10Speaker 4: All right back here on Cowboys storyline took a quick
- 36:13Speaker 4: break here. Actually, wasn't that quick. I apologize for that.
- 36:16Speaker 4: I hope you're still with us. Michael from Bowling Green, Kentucky,
- 36:19Speaker 4: still on the line with us. So Michael, what's up?
- 36:22Speaker 7: Hey doing Nick? How you doing pretty good? You enjoy
- 36:27Speaker 7: the eclipse?
- 36:28Speaker 4: I did? I did? It? Was it was? It was? Yeah,
- 36:31Speaker 4: I said it earlier just now on the show. Was
- 36:33Speaker 4: it was cool? And obviously you know every with YouTube
- 36:37Speaker 4: now and everything, everyone's seen everything. You know, there's nothing
- 36:40Speaker 4: you can say, oh, I've never seen this before. Well
- 36:42Speaker 4: I think we all can say we really hadn't seen that.
- 36:44Speaker 4: So that was that was neat.
- 36:45Speaker 7: So funny thing is six hours later get started again?
- 36:50Speaker 4: Yeah? True?
- 36:51Speaker 7: Hey what what was that text number? To send the address?
- 36:54Speaker 2: And size?
- 36:55Speaker 4: The text? Line question is eight. I mean text line
- 36:58Speaker 4: number is eight one seven two nine zero three two
- 37:01Speaker 4: nine to eight. Yeah, send your if you made the
- 37:05Speaker 4: team and listen, just for everybody, and I know you did.
- 37:07Speaker 4: I'm just saying this to everyone. Michael, you definitely did.
- 37:10Speaker 4: But yeah, send in your your shirt size and your
- 37:13Speaker 4: address so we can send you a shirt when they're
- 37:15Speaker 4: when they're going here, I have to make the decisions
- 37:18Speaker 4: on the color of the shirt that I'm leaning towards.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Blue or black. Looks pretty cool on the on the
- 37:24Speaker 4: blue or black, but it should be good. It should
- 37:27Speaker 4: be cool. Yeah, Hey, what's up?
- 37:31Speaker 7: What I had called was I really want a center
- 37:35Speaker 7: back and the you know early but if we don't,
- 37:40Speaker 7: you know, if we don't get a good one, I mean,
- 37:41Speaker 7: we can always pick z back up. I mean he's
- 37:44Speaker 7: got some experience at center, doesn't he.
- 37:46Speaker 4: Wow, you went there, huh. I just think it'd be
- 37:50Speaker 4: more than anything else. I just think that that him
- 37:53Speaker 4: coming back and playing. Just so that's not his final play.
- 37:56Speaker 4: And if you don't know what we're talking about, we're
- 37:58Speaker 4: talking about the forty nine ers game, uh, in the playoffs,
- 38:01Speaker 4: where Kellen Moore decided on this weird play at the
- 38:05Speaker 4: end of the game to trying to put him at
- 38:06Speaker 4: center and he he got blown up like Bobby Bouchet
- 38:10Speaker 4: was come flying at him like that. It was it
- 38:12Speaker 4: was terrible. So I hope that's not as fire play ever.
- 38:15Speaker 7: So all right, I have a doom and gloom question
- 38:18Speaker 7: for you because I don't know the answer. Okay, I
- 38:21Speaker 7: know if you will as of right now, I guess
- 38:25Speaker 7: it could change. I don't know how it works. Say
- 38:28Speaker 7: say dak first game doesn't and Aaron Rodgers, Killy's whatever
- 38:33Speaker 7: out of the season as of right now, who's our quarterback?
- 38:37Speaker 2: Is it?
- 38:38Speaker 7: I mean it would it? Would it be Plans or
- 38:40Speaker 7: do we still? I mean where? Where? What's the situation
- 38:43Speaker 7: on that?
- 38:47Speaker 4: Yeah? I hate questions like that. No, I mean you
- 38:52Speaker 4: have to they have to have them, they have to
- 38:55Speaker 4: be prepared for them. I mean, you know it would
- 38:58Speaker 4: be it would be Trey Lance. I mean it would
- 39:03Speaker 4: it would Yeah, it have to be Trey Lance. I
- 39:05Speaker 4: mean in that scenario. I mean, I think if you're
- 39:09Speaker 4: talking about you know, sprained calf or strained calf or
- 39:13Speaker 4: something like that, where a few weeks maybe or you know,
- 39:16Speaker 4: he Cooper Rush could probably a better chance to win
- 39:18Speaker 4: the game, you know, win some games and and get
- 39:21Speaker 4: you through. But if you're talking about the whole season,
- 39:23Speaker 4: especially when you got to decide make decisions on him,
- 39:26Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I don't think it would be him. But
- 39:30Speaker 4: uh you know that's I don't know. I mean, you
- 39:33Speaker 4: have to they have to have those those those decisions.
- 39:35Speaker 4: So yeah, that's why you have a couple of different
- 39:38Speaker 4: options there. But I think Trey Lance is going to
- 39:41Speaker 4: play a lot in the preseason. We're going to figure
- 39:43Speaker 4: out a lot of where he is and his development
- 39:46Speaker 4: in the preseason.
- 39:48Speaker 7: So if Trey Lance played, do you think that would
- 39:52Speaker 7: be it for dat? Do you think they would just
- 39:54Speaker 7: move on?
- 39:56Speaker 4: How does he play? I mean, what does he do?
- 40:00Speaker 7: Like like the way they win nine or ten games?
- 40:07Speaker 4: If if Trey Lance wins nine or ten games, I
- 40:14Speaker 4: probably maybe neither of them or the quarterback. You know,
- 40:18Speaker 4: I don't know, because you got to remember Trey Lanson
- 40:20Speaker 4: will be out of a contract as well.
- 40:22Speaker 7: This is his last.
- 40:23Speaker 4: Year of a contract, so you know that's that they
- 40:27Speaker 4: did not pick up the fifth year option on him,
- 40:29Speaker 4: So uh, this is he's he's done as well, you
- 40:32Speaker 4: know that, So they're gonna have to figure him you
- 40:34Speaker 4: know him out as well. But sure would be ironic
- 40:39Speaker 4: if if Dak, you know, we were to get injured
- 40:41Speaker 4: and Trey Lance comes in and you know, wins a
- 40:45Speaker 4: bunch of games. I mean, that's kind of what happened,
- 40:48Speaker 4: uh for Dak to get here. So that's why stuff
- 40:51Speaker 4: like that just works itself out always. Hey, I appreciate it,
- 40:55Speaker 4: all right, sounds good. Uh. I hate just talking about
- 41:00Speaker 4: like injuries like that, and I you know, you have
- 41:03Speaker 4: to be prepared for everything. You know, it's why you
- 41:07Speaker 4: why you wear a seat belt, that's why you have insurance.
- 41:09Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. But at the same time, Uh,
- 41:12Speaker 4: you know, you don't like talking and stuff like that.
- 41:14Speaker 4: But you know, I more than anything, Trey Lance. They're
- 41:18Speaker 4: gonna have to figure out him this year. And I
- 41:21Speaker 4: think it's going to be training camp in preseason. I mean,
- 41:23Speaker 4: I I don't think Dak will play at all in
- 41:25Speaker 4: the preseason. I don't even know if Cooper Rush has
- 41:28Speaker 4: to play that much. You know, I think you need
- 41:30Speaker 4: to see a lot of Trey Lance, see what he
- 41:33Speaker 4: can do. All right, let's go to rob in Vegas.
- 41:38Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, Hey, I wanted to get your take. I mean,
- 41:42Speaker 5: you're you're obviously closer to the team than us. But
- 41:45Speaker 5: this this off season just seems weird. It just seems
- 41:48Speaker 5: different than in the past. I mean, as fans, we've
- 41:52Speaker 5: you know, we've dealt with obviously individual players maybe getting
- 41:55Speaker 5: into trouble in the off season that would set the
- 41:58Speaker 5: following season, or you know, a coaching change after a
- 42:03Speaker 5: bad season. We we be like, okay, yeah, we understand that.
- 42:06Speaker 5: But this time it seems more internally dysfunctional. I mean,
- 42:12Speaker 5: we got a lane duck coaching staff and quarterback, which
- 42:16Speaker 5: I don't remember any team really ever having that, especially
- 42:21Speaker 5: a team coming off a twelve and five seasons. Yeah,
- 42:25Speaker 5: I mean, we got our best players and some of
- 42:29Speaker 5: the best players in the NFL. You got Parsons. Now
- 42:33Speaker 5: he's a distraction. You're hearing now, you know you're hearing,
- 42:37Speaker 5: you know CD, you know his mom says stuff, Dax's
- 42:40Speaker 5: brother says stuff.
- 42:42Speaker 14: It's just it's just.
- 42:44Speaker 5: Such a weird off season. And I don't know what
- 42:49Speaker 5: to make of it. I don't know if I you know,
- 42:51Speaker 5: do I just say that come out when it When
- 42:53Speaker 5: September comes along, we'll forget about this. But I don't
- 42:57Speaker 5: know how you forget about I don't know how coaches
- 42:59Speaker 5: forget about it known I got one year Dak or
- 43:02Speaker 5: why would CD sign here if they let Dak go?
- 43:07Speaker 5: Because that's such a quarterback dependent position. He's going to
- 43:10Speaker 5: get his money wherever he goes. So I just don't understand.
- 43:13Speaker 5: It's like I look at the Raiders being in Vegas,
- 43:16Speaker 5: and I say, why do you have a thirty million
- 43:19Speaker 5: dollar wide receiver when you don't have anybody to throw
- 43:23Speaker 5: him the football. I thought they should have traded about
- 43:26Speaker 5: the Adams last year, and they held on to him.
- 43:29Speaker 5: And that's how I'm going to look at it with
- 43:31Speaker 5: the Cowboys. If you sign CD and then you bring
- 43:34Speaker 5: in some young quarterback, I'm like, you don't need that.
- 43:39Speaker 5: That's Icely going the cake receiver like that. It's just weird.
- 43:42Speaker 5: I don't know how you guys, what's the rumblings you're
- 43:45Speaker 5: hearing over there. It's just a different dynamic this year.
- 43:48Speaker 5: It just seems very dysfunctional from the top down.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely is unique. This one is, and like
- 43:57Speaker 4: you said, there's just a lot of weird things happening
- 44:01Speaker 4: or not happening, and I just think it's just kind
- 44:04Speaker 4: of the way this season has has developed, or the
- 44:07Speaker 4: offseasons developed because of the contracts that are kind of
- 44:12Speaker 4: just hitting this wall this year.
- 44:14Speaker 5: I know, but what do you think Jerry's It's like,
- 44:17Speaker 5: does Jerry really need a discount? It's like you would
- 44:21Speaker 5: only do this if you were looking for these guys
- 44:25Speaker 5: to take less money, and like, what are we talking here?
- 44:30Speaker 5: A couple million dollars? I mean, it's it's like what
- 44:33Speaker 5: he said about CD a couple of weeks, Agowell. You know,
- 44:35Speaker 5: I could get five players for one CD, and I'm like, okay,
- 44:39Speaker 5: but they'd be five average guys. You got a superstar.
- 44:42Speaker 19: You know.
- 44:43Speaker 5: It's just like the only reason why you would talk
- 44:45Speaker 5: about stuff like this with Dak with a CD is
- 44:50Speaker 5: because you're trying to get them to take less money.
- 44:52Speaker 5: But I mean, why, Yeah, this is just this is
- 44:56Speaker 5: just the world the sports is. Nobody takes less money
- 45:00Speaker 5: unless they're on their down career. Where listen, you want
- 45:05Speaker 5: to play, this is what you get. But these are
- 45:07Speaker 5: these guys are at the top of their game. This
- 45:09Speaker 5: is where they score. In Dak's cases, will be a
- 45:12Speaker 5: second contract. But I don't understand, Like, what is he
- 45:16Speaker 5: trying to do, Jerry. It's like Jerry I'm sorry the Cowboys.
- 45:20Speaker 5: As great as the brand is, the whole NFL is
- 45:24Speaker 5: a great brand. They don't need to play for you,
- 45:28Speaker 5: you know, so less money to be recognized. I just
- 45:30Speaker 5: don't understand what the endgame is with the Dallas Cowboys.
- 45:35Speaker 11: I just really don't.
- 45:36Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, well, and that's that's the way they want it,
- 45:40Speaker 4: that they want you. They don't want you to know
- 45:42Speaker 4: like that. I don't know, and I'm sure they have
- 45:43Speaker 4: a plan, but it's not like we're get any press
- 45:46Speaker 4: conferences every day, but they're not a lot of talking
- 45:49Speaker 4: about it, so it is it's a head scratcher, and
- 45:52Speaker 4: I think and Rob, thanks for the call. I appreciate that,
- 45:55Speaker 4: and also thanks for getting your shirt size in for
- 45:58Speaker 4: the all storyline team. Think we've gotten like a handful
- 46:01Speaker 4: here at best, so we're gonna have to got about
- 46:04Speaker 4: thirty to go on that. But uh, you know, this
- 46:10Speaker 4: is just seems like a fork in the roads season.
- 46:13Speaker 4: It really, it really does. Like this is just where
- 46:16Speaker 4: they are. They have a good team, they have good players,
- 46:20Speaker 4: they can compete, and they are going to be I mean,
- 46:24Speaker 4: I think they're going to be one of the top
- 46:26Speaker 4: teams in the league. Maybe not the best schedules, seems
- 46:30Speaker 4: like it could be tougher. But I just still think
- 46:34Speaker 4: they're good enough to be a contending team. But with
- 46:39Speaker 4: all the way the contracts are, and it has to
- 46:41Speaker 4: be even better than that, you know, they have to
- 46:44Speaker 4: be better than just contenders. So we'll see, Oh, we'll
- 46:51Speaker 4: see how they can contend and if and if and
- 46:54Speaker 4: I think if they do, you know, really well, then
- 46:57Speaker 4: I think that might swade what Jerry does and how
- 47:00Speaker 4: he does certain contracts and players and coaches and stuff
- 47:03Speaker 4: like that. But we are looking at a situation where
- 47:06Speaker 4: it could look very very different next season. And if
- 47:10Speaker 4: it looks very different next season, then it might take
- 47:12Speaker 4: a couple of seasons to kind of turn it around.
- 47:14Speaker 4: So that's why this is such a weird year, because
- 47:17Speaker 4: it really could go either way. And I think that's
- 47:21Speaker 4: what's going to determine the next couple of years. I mean,
- 47:24Speaker 4: I just think this is the end of the window,
- 47:28Speaker 4: and you know, they can decide whether or not they
- 47:31Speaker 4: push it up and open up the window more. But
- 47:33Speaker 4: as it stands right now, like this is kind of
- 47:35Speaker 4: that fork in the road type season. All right, let's
- 47:39Speaker 4: go to the text question here. This is from Chuck
- 47:43Speaker 4: d in Orange, Texas. I know Dak has a no
- 47:47Speaker 4: trade clause. If he agrees that he wants to be
- 47:49Speaker 4: traded to a team that he wants, can he be traded,
- 47:53Speaker 4: then yes he can. We can wave the no trade clause.
- 47:56Speaker 4: So it just depends on the team and the situation
- 47:59Speaker 4: and all that. I mean, it would have to be
- 48:01Speaker 4: makes sense for him. Uh, He's not just going to
- 48:04Speaker 4: go to a team that's you know, maybe in a
- 48:07Speaker 4: rebuilding stage or whatever. But you know, if it's if
- 48:10Speaker 4: it's a trade that would work for him and and
- 48:13Speaker 4: also works you know that they have the money to
- 48:16Speaker 4: pay him or whatever it is, I mean, whatever the
- 48:19Speaker 4: situation would be. But yeah, he absolutely can can waive
- 48:23Speaker 4: the no trade clause if if he chooses to so.
- 48:27Speaker 4: And I'm sure if that were to be a case,
- 48:29Speaker 4: that would something that he you know, would discuss obviously
- 48:31Speaker 4: with his agent and they'd figure out what works best
- 48:34Speaker 4: for him. All right, Sir Rondo in Corpus Christie, are
- 48:40Speaker 4: you doing.
- 48:41Speaker 19: I'm doing good? How are you doing good?
- 48:43Speaker 4: His first time call, Uh, you.
- 48:46Speaker 19: Know called the beginning of the season when it was
- 48:50Speaker 19: a training camp and last season.
- 48:53Speaker 2: But so.
- 48:56Speaker 19: First off, yeah, I have to go to to go to,
- 49:02Speaker 19: So I got this is sublime Santario. That's that's always
- 49:07Speaker 19: a go Gator. And then to close out the night,
- 49:11Speaker 19: you're you're probably gonna like have no clue what I'm
- 49:14Speaker 19: what I'm saying here, But man, that down in South section,
- 49:20Speaker 19: is that that just it goes off, It goes off?
- 49:23Speaker 4: Okay, all right, but uh it's not closing time?
- 49:28Speaker 19: Yeah no not, I mean I like, I like closing time.
- 49:31Speaker 8: But.
- 49:33Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, say that one more time. What's the
- 49:36Speaker 4: what's the name of that song?
- 49:37Speaker 2: Again?
- 49:38Speaker 4: But still have what said? Awesome? I bet you that's
- 49:44Speaker 4: awesome though for sure?
- 49:47Speaker 19: All right, well all right, so Rondo, what do you
- 49:49Speaker 19: got question that I have? This whole Tyler Smith guard
- 49:56Speaker 19: left tackle, guard left tackle?
- 49:59Speaker 11: Is this awful?
- 50:00Speaker 19: Believe Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones saying, you know what
- 50:04Speaker 19: he's what is this his third or fourth year? This
- 50:08Speaker 19: is coming into his four season?
- 50:09Speaker 2: I believe? Uh?
- 50:11Speaker 4: Third for Tyler Smith?
- 50:12Speaker 9: Third?
- 50:13Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, his third year.
- 50:15Speaker 19: But he he's got a five year option right because
- 50:17Speaker 19: it was in the first round. Yes, okay, So is
- 50:21Speaker 19: this a whole money situation where like if we moved
- 50:23Speaker 19: him to left tackle, he's going to be a bigger
- 50:26Speaker 19: hit on our salary cap in two years, or if
- 50:30Speaker 19: we keep him at guard, he's a little bit cheaper
- 50:32Speaker 19: at guard and we can possibly draft, you know, a
- 50:37Speaker 19: starting left tackle. I hope not that that's what's been
- 50:40Speaker 19: on my mind, because I wouldn't mind him at left
- 50:42Speaker 19: tackle or at guard. I mean, he did he played
- 50:46Speaker 19: tackle in in college, right, Yeah, And I mean I'm
- 50:54Speaker 19: just curious. I'm just curious that too. Is it if
- 50:57Speaker 19: they're looking at it as a business decision and they're saying,
- 51:01Speaker 19: you know what, we could save money if we keep
- 51:03Speaker 19: him a guard because it's a cheaper position to pay. Yeah,
- 51:06Speaker 19: other than in a year or two fork out this
- 51:11Speaker 19: huge contract for a left tackle.
- 51:13Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying there, and I'll say this,
- 51:17Speaker 4: the guards are actually making more than you would think.
- 51:20Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if it's the same at
- 51:22Speaker 4: left tackle, but I don't think that's the case. I don't.
- 51:27Speaker 4: I think this is a situation of where you have
- 51:31Speaker 4: a player who has proven he can do both, and
- 51:34Speaker 4: so so let's see, Larry Allen was the same way.
- 51:38Speaker 4: I mean, Larry Allen could could play both and he did.
- 51:40Speaker 4: He played tackle I played guard and then he went
- 51:43Speaker 4: back to guard, and that was a position where you know,
- 51:46Speaker 4: he could dominate for years to come. I've always said
- 51:49Speaker 4: I would play Tyler Smith where he can be an
- 51:51Speaker 4: All Pro, That's where I would play him. He could
- 51:54Speaker 4: probably be a pro bowler at any spot, but I
- 51:57Speaker 4: bet you know, and the same goes with Zach Martin.
- 51:59Speaker 4: He could have played tackle at any point here, but
- 52:02Speaker 4: he was an All Pro guard and I don't think
- 52:05Speaker 4: it had anything to do with money. I think it
- 52:07Speaker 4: was where is this the best fit? And so right
- 52:10Speaker 4: now they don't have a decision because they don't know
- 52:12Speaker 4: who their tackle is going to be, you know, and
- 52:14Speaker 4: they don't know who their center is going to be.
- 52:16Speaker 4: Right now, think about it. If you might have a
- 52:17Speaker 4: new you're going to have a new center, and you're
- 52:19Speaker 4: going to have a new tackle. At least you've got
- 52:21Speaker 4: a badass it left guard in Tyler Smith who could
- 52:24Speaker 4: help both sides, because if you don't, if you just
- 52:27Speaker 4: move in to tackle, then you got a new guard
- 52:29Speaker 4: in a new center. Where do you think a guy like.
- 52:33Speaker 19: But well, Aaron Donald was the goat you know on
- 52:36Speaker 19: the tackle side. He's one of the best defensive that
- 52:40Speaker 19: would play the game.
- 52:41Speaker 4: But my point is, I know when I got cut off,
- 52:43Speaker 4: what I was saying is he I know he's retiring,
- 52:45Speaker 4: but if you have a new guard in a new center,
- 52:47Speaker 4: and you're playing against a guy that's got an Aaron
- 52:49Speaker 4: Donald type of player, where do you think he's lining up?
- 52:52Speaker 4: You know, I'm saying, so, try not to have any
- 52:55Speaker 4: kind of inexperienced weakness on your team. That's why I
- 52:59Speaker 4: think keeping him at guard or Tyler Smith, because he's
- 53:02Speaker 4: got you know, brute strength. He can kind of help
- 53:05Speaker 4: both your tackle and your center. That's why I think
- 53:09Speaker 4: he's gonna kind of stay where he is, and they're
- 53:10Speaker 4: gonna draft the tackle, and they're gonna they're gonna figure
- 53:13Speaker 4: out that maybe draft the center, or they're gonna they're
- 53:15Speaker 4: gonna get a center, uh, one of these young guys
- 53:17Speaker 4: to play center.
- 53:18Speaker 19: So, and you know, to be honest with you, I
- 53:20Speaker 19: honestly believe that no matter where you put him at,
- 53:23Speaker 19: I I cohardly believe that he could be an All
- 53:28Speaker 19: Pro either at guard or tackle if they just cement
- 53:31Speaker 19: him there and leave him there and let him protect
- 53:33Speaker 19: his craft.
- 53:34Speaker 4: I agree. I agree. Now I think they need to
- 53:37Speaker 4: figure that out. Because I do think there's a different
- 53:40Speaker 4: body type to play guard and to play tackle, and
- 53:43Speaker 4: so you'd like for him to kind of know that
- 53:45Speaker 4: going into the season, going into his career about what
- 53:48Speaker 4: he's gonna play. Does he need to, you know, bulk up?
- 53:51Speaker 4: Does he need to kind of slim down a little
- 53:53Speaker 4: bit and and and have those quick feet for tackle?
- 53:56Speaker 4: But either way, I think he's smart as a whip too,
- 53:58Speaker 4: so he can figure it out. He can play either one.
- 54:00Speaker 4: That's one thing.
- 54:01Speaker 2: That's an advantage for him.
- 54:02Speaker 4: He's very young, he's hungry, smart, super strong, like he
- 54:07Speaker 4: could play either position. And I think you like, I agree,
- 54:10Speaker 4: I think he could play it well. So but I
- 54:13Speaker 4: don't think it's a money thing. I really don't. I
- 54:15Speaker 4: don't think it has anything to do with that. I
- 54:17Speaker 4: think because you're gonna pay top dollar for a great
- 54:21Speaker 4: one regardless, and I think that's the path that he's on.
- 54:25Speaker 4: All right, let's uh, let's move let's move on to uh. Zach.
- 54:29Speaker 4: He's in Latvia, Zach. What's up? Sorry? I say it again,
- 54:36Speaker 4: Zach and Lafia? You there? How are you doing?
- 54:41Speaker 11: Good man?
- 54:42Speaker 4: Great? Great? What's on your mind?
- 54:45Speaker 2: Oh?
- 54:46Speaker 11: You got just two quick questions for you or I
- 54:48Speaker 11: should start off. It was Wrestledmania this past weekend and
- 54:51Speaker 11: I have put this out there, but the Undertaker will
- 54:53Speaker 11: tend greatest.
- 54:54Speaker 4: Okay, I saw that. I saw that the clip where
- 54:59Speaker 4: he you know, I mean, I don't know. I haven't
- 55:02Speaker 4: been to a lot of wrestling matches, but when the
- 55:04Speaker 4: lights turn off, you never know what's going to happen,
- 55:06Speaker 4: right Like that's I mean, spect something crazy, and I
- 55:10Speaker 4: think that's what it was. Was that what did that?
- 55:12Speaker 4: What just happen this year? He just shows up behind
- 55:14Speaker 4: the rock or maybe or was that old clip?
- 55:16Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I saw the clip too. I didn't
- 55:18Speaker 11: get to watch the show, but yeah, it brings that
- 55:21Speaker 11: old school feelback, which is always nice.
- 55:23Speaker 4: So nice question.
- 55:25Speaker 11: I had more in reference to now that Gallup is gone.
- 55:31Speaker 11: When you look back at when we cut or traded
- 55:34Speaker 11: Amari Cooper and then we signed Gallup and basically used
- 55:38Speaker 11: that money that we were going to pay Amari and
- 55:40Speaker 11: we put it to Gallup and we also put it
- 55:42Speaker 11: to I would look at it Schultz that year. Now
- 55:46Speaker 11: both of those guys gone, Do you look at that
- 55:48Speaker 11: as a bad deal? In my opinion, I think maybe
- 55:52Speaker 11: he was probably a little bit more behind the scenes
- 55:54Speaker 11: stuff going on with a Mari more so than his
- 55:56Speaker 11: on the field talent. Would you agree with that.
- 55:58Speaker 4: Yes, I would, I would. I would definitely think there
- 56:01Speaker 4: was some some stuff going on there. And I also
- 56:03Speaker 4: think that it was their belief that that for the
- 56:09Speaker 4: money that they were paying that they would have to
- 56:11Speaker 4: pay a Mari, that they didn't think they could get
- 56:15Speaker 4: the same kind of production out of CD too, And
- 56:18Speaker 4: they really thought CD was ready to blow up and
- 56:21Speaker 4: and be a star. So that's why I've never really
- 56:26Speaker 4: like harped on the MARII Cooper when that bad, because
- 56:31Speaker 4: you know, they they signed more free agents that year,
- 56:35Speaker 4: and and and then you know they got the you know,
- 56:37Speaker 4: they re signed Leyton Vanerish, that they signed Dorance Armstrong,
- 56:41Speaker 4: you know, they signed a foul Or, they signed a
- 56:43Speaker 4: lot of these other guys, and then also just felt like,
- 56:47Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna get We're going to really open
- 56:49Speaker 4: this thing up for CD to really blossom, which happened,
- 56:54Speaker 4: you know, so, but you feel like you could have
- 56:57Speaker 4: gotten more for it. But that's what people are forgetting
- 57:00Speaker 4: a lot of times, is that they just see guys
- 57:03Speaker 4: getting traded for not much like we could have done that.
- 57:06Speaker 4: They're they're trading the contract, and so by trading the contract,
- 57:10Speaker 4: it's it's that's almost like just getting a compensatory pick
- 57:13Speaker 4: for it. It's typically what what is happening here?
- 57:18Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that makes sense. I think part of
- 57:20Speaker 11: the issue though, is how much we gave up to
- 57:22Speaker 11: get him, and it was only I believe three years yeah,
- 57:25Speaker 11: give or take from when he came in. So when
- 57:27Speaker 11: you when you trade it first and you only get
- 57:29Speaker 11: a fifth back yep, and then the two guys that
- 57:31Speaker 11: you take the cap that you're basically they said, you're
- 57:33Speaker 11: trying to allocate those funds elsewhere, and now both of
- 57:36Speaker 11: those guys are gone. You know, you look back and
- 57:38Speaker 11: it's like it's just a little sour.
- 57:41Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, if you if
- 57:43Speaker 4: you were to break it down from that perspective and say, okay,
- 57:48Speaker 4: should we do this. Should we make this trade for
- 57:51Speaker 4: next year's one so we can win the NFC East
- 57:54Speaker 4: this year and then not make the playoffs for the
- 57:57Speaker 4: next two? You know, is it worth it? You're like, no,
- 58:01Speaker 4: probably not, you know, I mean, when when you think
- 58:03Speaker 4: of it like that, there's a lot of moves you
- 58:05Speaker 4: probably wouldn't do. So yeah, I don't know about the
- 58:09Speaker 4: trade so much as just the overall trading, you know,
- 58:13Speaker 4: trading the for next year's first to get him because
- 58:17Speaker 4: you were three and five when they made that trade.
- 58:19Speaker 4: That they were a three and five football team, and
- 58:23Speaker 4: or they might have been three and four and then
- 58:25Speaker 4: lost the next game, but but they were, you know,
- 58:28Speaker 4: three and four, that wasn't going well and uh, you know,
- 58:31Speaker 4: probably going to have a decent pick, but they turned
- 58:33Speaker 4: things around, want a playoff game and all that stuff.
- 58:35Speaker 4: So you know, hindsight's always you know, always had the
- 58:39Speaker 4: best vision.
- 58:40Speaker 11: So in the moment, like I said, that trade, when
- 58:43Speaker 11: they made that trade, that was a necessity too because
- 58:45Speaker 11: it was that wide receiver by committee. Alan Earns was
- 58:48Speaker 11: basically your one at the time. So I mean it
- 58:51Speaker 11: wasn't bad trade in the moment. I think it's really
- 58:53Speaker 11: the back end. But it's always easy to do this
- 58:55Speaker 11: after the factor.
- 58:56Speaker 4: Right right, right part. So yeah, good point.
- 58:59Speaker 11: Last last quick shout out to go because I show
- 59:01Speaker 11: is probably ending. If you can bring any player back
- 59:05Speaker 11: to help this team this year, it could be anybody
- 59:08Speaker 11: who would you bring back, doesn't have to be a
- 59:10Speaker 11: free agent that we just lost.
- 59:11Speaker 4: But just in general, does any anybody to help this team?
- 59:14Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, who who would you bring back?
- 59:21Speaker 6: Goodnesse?
- 59:21Speaker 11: It's a tough one. I think I always like the lineman.
- 59:25Speaker 11: I think if I could bring back Larry Allen, yeah,
- 59:28Speaker 11: even though we have a good guard, and maybe kick
- 59:30Speaker 11: Tyler out. But yeah, I mean, if you want to
- 59:32Speaker 11: go skill position, you could always do that. But I
- 59:35Speaker 11: think the line's always always a necessity.
- 59:37Speaker 4: I mean I would take a twenty sixteen Zeke, you know,
- 59:41Speaker 4: I would take a younger.
- 59:42Speaker 11: I mean we might get a twenty twenty four z
- 59:44Speaker 11: who knows.
- 59:44Speaker 4: We might? We might and and that's yeah, I mean
- 59:47Speaker 4: looking at it at a back like that, or you know,
- 59:50Speaker 4: looking at a Frederick type of center, you know, you
- 59:52Speaker 4: just look at the positions that you need. You know
- 59:55Speaker 4: you would you would take take that guy for sure.
- 59:59Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, I mean I would. You know, looking
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: I'm looking at those positions right there, you know, you
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: look at or left tackle, you know, just you're looking
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: at a quality left tackle, center, and uh and running back.
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: Those those are positions that I think you could definitely
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: use a plug and play player, maybe a really good
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: defensive tackle too. So all right, Zach, thank you for
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: the call. All right, let's go. Let's keep it moving here,
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: let's go to Chuck d and Bridge City, Texas.
- 1:00:24Speaker 20: Hey man, all right, we go actually actually takes two
- 1:00:31Speaker 20: for the first time, so that was pretty neat.
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: Okay, we'll getna, we'll get to here. We go for
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: that too. I thought we had Yeah, you had the
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: text not too long ago about the DAK and the
- 1:00:40Speaker 4: trade clause. But yeah, good to hear your online. What
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: do you got for?
- 1:00:44Speaker 19: Thanks?
- 1:00:45Speaker 20: So, uh, it's more of a statement, but the way
- 1:00:48Speaker 20: we have the second round pick last year on tight end,
- 1:00:52Speaker 20: it seems like our look second round tight ends, you know,
- 1:00:55Speaker 20: with Martella's and then Escobar. I was just saying, had
- 1:00:59Speaker 20: good luck picking them in the second round.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: Asano Anthony Fasano as well.
- 1:01:04Speaker 20: Oh yeah, yeah, there's another one.
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:01:06Speaker 20: And also I had another thing, like you've been talking
- 1:01:10Speaker 20: about this.
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: All Star callers.
- 1:01:12Speaker 20: I have an all star team you should have with
- 1:01:14Speaker 20: all y'all different podcasts. I think it should be you obviously,
- 1:01:18Speaker 20: and then get Mickey on there, and then Nate Newton,
- 1:01:22Speaker 20: and I like Brian brought us because he's got the
- 1:01:24Speaker 20: scout's perspective on it, and uh, that's all I got.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what. Uh, it'd be tough to
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: get a word in there, but I wouldn't mind it
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: for one reason and one reason only. And Chris knows
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: exactly what I'm talking about. But uh, I would never
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: I would never feel so young if I was in
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: there with Mickey, Nate, Tigers and uh and Brian.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: I mean, I'd be the young pup again. You know,
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: I'm using I'm surrounded by all these people we have
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: working here, all these young talented people. But I mean,
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: I'm the old guy in the group. But yeah, put
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: me in that group, and uh, yeah, i'd be I'd
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: be the youngster barely, but a lot.
- 1:02:06Speaker 20: Of experience, you know, And I feel like y'all, y'all
- 1:02:09Speaker 20: have a different perspective, and.
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: I feel like we've probably been on a show before,
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: like the four. I would imagine, you know, maybe at
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: least three of the four, uh for sure. So yeah,
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: that would be that would be uh, that'd be an
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: old school type show right there. We could we could
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: talk a lot about the the older players.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: But yeah, that's cool.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, so so what's your point? Don't draft
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: anymore tight ends in the second round.
- 1:02:37Speaker 20: Oh, you just would think, man, we'd learned our lesson, like, well,
- 1:02:41Speaker 20: it's not working out.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: Well, let's remember one thing about that Fasano martellis an escobar. Okay,
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: they were all drafted in the second round. They all
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: had one big, like common denominator that was standing in
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: the way of them and playing, and that's Jason Witten.
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: Witten and he never said this, but if you know
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: Witting at all, that fueled him every single time that
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: they drafted him, because there, you know, there's stories out
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: there where Jason Garrett decided not to you know, he
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: didn't want him to block the defensive tackle, didn't want
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: him to wham the nose in practice, didn't want to
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: get his all pro tight end hurt. And he was like,
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: you don't think I can do it, coach, you don't
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: think I can I can wham the nose, Like, well,
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: I know you can do it, Witting, but we don't.
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: We don't want you to do this in practice. Here
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: I can do it, you know. So he was getting
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: called out all the time. So when they drafted a
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: second round tight end, I mean he was like, okay,
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: all right, I think I got a couple more years. Huh,
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: is that what you think? I mean, that fueled him,
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: That's what made him kind of what he was. And
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: so those guys never had a chance to play, you know,
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: I mean not over him. So and then this case,
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: you know, Schoonmaker, let's see, but but they did have
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: a pro bowler and Jake Ferguson that just you know,
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: took off so well, the jury's still out on Schoonmaker
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: for sure. I still think he's going to be a
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: solid player, and you know, we'll we'll see how he
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: develops into you know. I mean, I think Kittle and
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: Kelsey had nothing there their first year as players, and
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: so that position could be one that takes a little
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: bit of time. Witton had thirty five catches his first year,
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: you know, and one touchdown and then became the greatest
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: id end in the history. So that position can be
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: difficult early on. I'm not ready to write off schoo Maker,
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: but there's other three had a problem because Jason Witten
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: wasn't going to give him the time or day, the
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: time of day to get, you know, to take his job.
- 1:04:32Speaker 20: So right, I guess I just looked at what Sam
- 1:04:35Speaker 20: Laportera did and I just, yeah, I really wish we
- 1:04:38Speaker 20: would have got him, but it didn't work out.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: No, no, but then I mean it, yeah, it didn't
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: work out because you know, you still have you know,
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: Mazzie Smith that didn't hasn't done anything yet. But you know,
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: I mean you've got I mean, you've got Jake Ferguson,
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: who I think is just gonna be be just as
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: good maybe maybe you know, maybe even better. We'll see,
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: we'll see how Laporta developed. I mean, that was a
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: great pick by them. But but you know, I don't
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: think the tight end position is hurting you when you
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: have I think Ferguson's going to take off and be
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: and become a star. So to get him in the
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: fourth round that would be considered a steal. The problem
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: is that you didn't see the other draft picks that
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: they've got, you know, to take advantage of it. If
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: they would have, if they would have drafted Mazzi Smith
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: and he had a great season, then you're like, wow,
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: we got a star tight end in the fourth round
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: last year, and you got Mazzie Smith. But Mazzie still
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: yet to develop.
- 1:05:30Speaker 20: So yeah, that's that's cool. All right, Well, I appreciate
- 1:05:34Speaker 20: you taking my call.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: And I'll get.
