- 0:12Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:21Speaker 1: What is up? And welcome to another edition of Cowboys Storyline.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I am Nick Eatman here Wednesday, August the seventh, here
- 0:27Speaker 1: in Oxnard, California. Got a lot going on here. Not
- 0:31Speaker 1: not the storylines you guys want. You guys want to
- 0:34Speaker 1: see new contracts. You want to see things like that.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I want to see these players, including Ceedee Lamb get here.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Not here yet. I still feel like it will happen,
- 0:44Speaker 1: But still so many other things to talk about. These
- 0:48Speaker 1: these practices are going on, seeing some some good things
- 0:51Speaker 1: out here. I think the the backup receivers continue to
- 0:55Speaker 1: do well. Now with anything in a practice, you could say, well,
- 0:59Speaker 1: what's wrong with the cornerbacks. Then if that's the case,
- 1:01Speaker 1: get it. That's part of practice. There's ups and downs.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Michael parsons it can't be blocked and that's just that's
- 1:12Speaker 1: just the way that it is. So he's he's really
- 1:15Speaker 1: seems like he's shining in this defense. He really likes
- 1:18Speaker 1: it with what Zimmr's doing with him. So all this
- 1:22Speaker 1: talk about they haven't spoken, and they haven't really communicated
- 1:25Speaker 1: all this. They're communicating their own little language right now
- 1:28Speaker 1: and it's really working and so that that's fun to see.
- 1:32Speaker 1: We can talk about all that here as we move
- 1:35Speaker 1: on here. Remember the phone line is there, two, one, four, three, eight, seven,
- 1:39Speaker 1: sixteen fifty nine. That's our camp numbers, So don't don't
- 1:43Speaker 1: forget the other one. But that's the one here for camp.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And we're gonna get right on on the line here.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Let's get it going. Michael's in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael,
- 1:52Speaker 1: what's up man?
- 1:55Speaker 4: Hey?
- 1:56Speaker 1: Ah, not much? How are you?
- 1:59Speaker 5: Oh?
- 1:59Speaker 6: Pretty good?
- 2:00Speaker 7: We got some cooler weather now here in Kentucky. We
- 2:03Speaker 7: got a little cool, cool, cool, get out of that
- 2:07Speaker 7: mid nineties for a few days, getting the lower eight.
- 2:12Speaker 1: We don't don't talk weather, well.
- 2:14Speaker 7: We don't talk about I got I got a question
- 2:17Speaker 7: about three plays, Uh, nothing too controversial. Peyton hender shot,
- 2:24Speaker 7: Jo's long and then the corner we used to have.
- 2:30Speaker 4: That.
- 2:31Speaker 7: Uh we really need back.
- 2:35Speaker 5: If who's long?
- 2:37Speaker 7: I think if they they come up with somebody drops
- 2:41Speaker 7: the number four running back somewhere downs picked them up.
- 2:45Speaker 7: I'm wondering if Deuce is gonna make it and as
- 2:49Speaker 7: well as Stevenson's playing. I'm wondering about Peyton Hendershot and
- 2:55Speaker 7: I'm wondering if they were going to pick that corner up,
- 2:58Speaker 7: which I think we should. What's your fault?
- 3:01Speaker 5: Episode?
- 3:03Speaker 1: I wish I wish I heard you one there, Deuce
- 3:09Speaker 1: Vaughn and Peyton Hendershot. Are you basically just asking if
- 3:11Speaker 1: they're gonna make the team?
- 3:13Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 3:13Speaker 7: I wonder do you think they're gonna both make the kick?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Uh? They They seem to be on the outside looking
- 3:20Speaker 1: in at this point just because duces hurt. Oh man,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Deuce is hurt right now, and he hasn't shown you know,
- 3:32Speaker 1: he hasn't shown a consistency when he is out there.
- 3:35Speaker 1: So we haven't seen a lot of good things from
- 3:38Speaker 1: him right now just because he's been he's been banged up.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Royce Freeman has done a nice job. He had to
- 3:44Speaker 1: grow an injury. Hold up, Chris. Chris and I are
- 3:49Speaker 1: trying to communicate a little bit. This is one of
- 3:50Speaker 1: those things. It's too loud, and then it's not too
- 3:53Speaker 1: loud until we're trying to get our levels down there
- 3:56Speaker 1: with the with the mowers here. Royce Freeman's done a
- 4:01Speaker 1: nice job when he's healthy, and I think that they
- 4:04Speaker 1: see a lot of value in him. They see value
- 4:06Speaker 1: in Hunter Lipke as well, and watch out for Princeton fan.
- 4:09Speaker 1: He's doing some interesting things there from a from a
- 4:12Speaker 1: tight end, h back type of role. So when you
- 4:17Speaker 1: when you're factoring everybody in Rico Daddles, he got some
- 4:19Speaker 1: reps with the ones. Zeke's look pretty good. At times,
- 4:23Speaker 1: he's you can't you can't make the team when you
- 4:26Speaker 1: when you're banged up right now, So Deuces needs to
- 4:29Speaker 1: get back and he's to get back in time to
- 4:31Speaker 1: play in some of the preseason games, so he's going
- 4:34Speaker 1: to have a hard time. They're at tight end. Yeah,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I mean, you're just like these these younger guy John
- 4:40Speaker 1: Stevens looks like he's going to have a role for sure.
- 4:44Speaker 1: You know, Revins van Ford is just such a big
- 4:47Speaker 1: body that you want to see him do some more things.
- 4:50Speaker 1: And so when you factor in Schoonmaker and of course Ferguson,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it makes sense that like these guys get squeezed out,
- 4:57Speaker 1: but they have a say in the matter. They can
- 4:59Speaker 1: come back and some things as well. And Hindershot has
- 5:02Speaker 1: been okay, I mean he really has been he's been good.
- 5:05Speaker 1: You know, he's slimmed down a lot. He looks more
- 5:07Speaker 1: like a big wide receiver, so uh, he's gonna have
- 5:10Speaker 1: to take that to the game as well. He's he
- 5:12Speaker 1: seems like he's been close to making some big plays,
- 5:15Speaker 1: but not a lot of them. But again, you know,
- 5:18Speaker 1: the game can change everything.
- 5:21Speaker 7: So what do you think about that corner that.
- 5:23Speaker 1: We which Which corner exactly other than Claybourne? Which corner
- 5:29Speaker 1: are you talking about? I can't I couldn't hear that part.
- 5:35Speaker 7: I'm talking about Gilmore.
- 5:39Speaker 1: M Gilmore. Yeah, sorry, guys. I mean this is this
- 5:44Speaker 1: has gotten This is probably as worse as we've heard
- 5:46Speaker 1: it here since we've been And I apologize, Michael, I cannot.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I cannot hear that. So let's let's just uh, let's
- 5:53Speaker 1: move on. I'll try to answer that when later we'll
- 5:55Speaker 1: never figure out who that was. Let's go to Anthony
- 5:58Speaker 1: and Miami, my main man, Nick the quick what's up, Begg?
- 6:04Speaker 9: I guess you canna hear me?
- 6:05Speaker 2: Good?
- 6:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciation to you.
- 6:09Speaker 9: Chris, I Guesst Derreck has something to do with it.
- 6:12Speaker 9: The Joneses for the shirts. I love my shirt man
- 6:15Speaker 9: on storyline. Second Team I like to tell you something
- 6:20Speaker 9: real quick. Nick. Remember this, Nick, I love football. I
- 6:24Speaker 9: love everything about it. I love it on Friday night
- 6:27Speaker 9: when you're looking for a wind and Saturday morning when
- 6:29Speaker 9: you found. So when I say that radio and I've
- 6:33Speaker 9: been listening, yes, sir, you know it. You know it
- 6:37Speaker 9: when I say it, and I've been listening. I listened
- 6:39Speaker 9: to all the shows. As I say, I always promote
- 6:40Speaker 9: the shows. Tell everybody stop watching on TV, punders, especially
- 6:43Speaker 9: the ones that hate and watch these shows. You got
- 6:46Speaker 9: seven Cowboy shows. You got streaming training camp stuff for
- 6:49Speaker 9: missus Jones, nate them, cal them. We got good stuff.
- 6:53Speaker 9: So you guys can see some of the players sometimes
- 6:55Speaker 9: for yourself. I saw Nick with Kyle. I saw Kyle
- 6:58Speaker 9: and Patrick Walker.
- 6:59Speaker 3: You know.
- 7:00Speaker 9: So you guys can catch that stuff on the stars
- 7:02Speaker 9: out the YouTube and it'll let you see what you
- 7:05Speaker 9: need to see. Now, as far as the Joneses and
- 7:07Speaker 9: the contracts, I'm not gonna be a controrian on what
- 7:10Speaker 9: the Joneses have done, and as long as I've been
- 7:13Speaker 9: a Cowboy lifelong fan, I'm not gonna be a controlly
- 7:16Speaker 9: because they brought joy to me, and of course they
- 7:19Speaker 9: haven't won nothing as far as Super Bowls in a
- 7:21Speaker 9: while in the MC Championships. But to the other like,
- 7:23Speaker 9: they brought a lot of things to us. So I
- 7:25Speaker 9: trust them and what they're gonna do. City Lamb will
- 7:27Speaker 9: be in camp. You're gonna go by thirty four point
- 7:29Speaker 9: five thirty five mil City Lamb will be in camp
- 7:31Speaker 9: in the next two weeks. Now, I trust them to
- 7:34Speaker 9: do what they're gonna do with that. I hope fifty
- 7:36Speaker 9: five fifty six something around the fifty seven does it,
- 7:39Speaker 9: because you do reset the market, you don't have to
- 7:41Speaker 9: reset it at sixty. So with those things being said,
- 7:44Speaker 9: I hope those guys, you know, get that together. That's
- 7:47Speaker 9: gonna that's that's why he's one of my That's why
- 7:49Speaker 9: he's my favorite active cowboy. They're gonna get it together
- 7:52Speaker 9: and we're gonna do something. And my pet cats I'm
- 7:55Speaker 9: still watching them down to Juan Ye, Thomas and Tobert
- 7:58Speaker 9: and I've added Kneeling to that. He's the fourth because
- 8:02Speaker 9: we need him now for saund Yeah, that's basically all
- 8:06Speaker 9: I had to say. Man, y'all, keep the optimism man
- 8:08Speaker 9: on this thing.
- 8:08Speaker 1: We're gonna be all right, man, sure, all right, yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 1: all right, all right, Anthony, appreciate the call. You know
- 8:14Speaker 1: you've always had, You've always had a good unique perspective.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't know how unique it is. I mean it's
- 8:19Speaker 1: just a different perspective than some of the other fans.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Just just the positive, positive vibes. Again, I think you're
- 8:25Speaker 1: a little you're old enough to appreciate some good times
- 8:30Speaker 1: and you've seen it and you know what that feeling
- 8:32Speaker 1: is like. And then it's also just the kind of
- 8:34Speaker 1: the excitement and hunger or what you know to to
- 8:37Speaker 1: get back there. Uh when you when you never really
- 8:40Speaker 1: have experienced it, then man, man, that that certainly is uh.
- 8:45Speaker 1: You know, it's something that you just want to you
- 8:47Speaker 1: want to feel, you want to you want to see,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you want to see what's happening. Not always not always
- 8:52Speaker 1: goes down like that. But your pet cats you talked about,
- 8:56Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert was one of them.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Uh.
- 8:58Speaker 1: He's done a nice job, he really has. He he
- 9:01Speaker 1: looks like he's kind of grown uh into his role.
- 9:04Speaker 1: And that's one thing that I kept looking at when
- 9:08Speaker 1: he struggled his first year. I looked at his freshman
- 9:12Speaker 1: year at South Alabama and he had think he had
- 9:14Speaker 1: eight catches and then the next year he had like
- 9:17Speaker 1: forty and then and then sixty eight or something like that,
- 9:20Speaker 1: and so at it. Even at the college level, he
- 9:24Speaker 1: learned how to figure it out. And I think he's
- 9:26Speaker 1: learned how to figure it out here, uh, in the
- 9:29Speaker 1: in the pro pro level as well. And he's getting
- 9:31Speaker 1: these opportunities with with you know, CD being out and
- 9:36Speaker 1: and I don't know if this happened at South Alabama,
- 9:39Speaker 1: but there there's there's no way he could have gotten
- 9:42Speaker 1: a better mentor than than Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks, for
- 9:46Speaker 1: what he does for these young receivers is amazing. He's
- 9:49Speaker 1: so confident in what he's doing. And people think, well,
- 9:52Speaker 1: why don't all people do this? Don't all veterans know?
- 9:56Speaker 1: They don't because they they understand that, you know, the
- 10:00Speaker 1: time in the league is precious, and so why are
- 10:03Speaker 1: you trying to help this guy who's trying to take
- 10:04Speaker 1: your job. But Brandon Cooks is so confident in what
- 10:08Speaker 1: he does and who he is as a person. And
- 10:10Speaker 1: they asked him that question of what motivates him to
- 10:12Speaker 1: do that, and he said, it's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It's not it's not just what I do to help
- 10:17Speaker 1: the football team. Whatever he goes, that's who he is
- 10:20Speaker 1: and that's that's really refreshing to see. But Brandon Cooks
- 10:23Speaker 1: has helped Jalen Tolvert get to another level here and
- 10:27Speaker 1: we're really seeing the benefits on the field. All right,
- 10:29Speaker 1: Greg and Sacramento. I just met Greg the other day
- 10:33Speaker 1: here at the fence line, So Greg, what's up on?
- 10:36Speaker 10: Hey Micky, you remember I tried to get in on Monday,
- 10:40Speaker 10: but man, that that phone line.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Wow, thanks thanks for trying. But yeah, you had a
- 10:46Speaker 1: really good seat front row seat over there at practice.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Was that on a Saturday? Yeah?
- 10:51Speaker 10: I know, actually was on Friday.
- 10:54Speaker 1: They all run together. I don't I bet to do,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I bet.
- 10:57Speaker 6: To do, but it was great to me.
- 10:58Speaker 10: I wanted to shock you guys, actually all of the
- 11:01Speaker 10: couple of the media. I wanted to shout out you
- 11:03Speaker 10: guys out because you guys are awesome. My son, So Benji,
- 11:06Speaker 10: you guys signed a little balls for then. Yeah, yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 10: and he was so excited to get all you guys
- 11:12Speaker 10: signatures because we listened to you guys all the time
- 11:15Speaker 10: when I took him to school, you know, when I
- 11:16Speaker 10: pick him up for always listened to the podcast, and
- 11:19Speaker 10: uh so when I explained to him who actually signed,
- 11:22Speaker 10: because I think I got I got your signature, I
- 11:23Speaker 10: got Derek's signature, I got Patrick Nophy, I got Isaiah
- 11:28Speaker 10: stand back, I got Kylie Yeoman's. I think I was all,
- 11:32Speaker 10: you know, trying to get Brian, so.
- 11:33Speaker 3: He was he was busy.
- 11:34Speaker 1: On the other side, Brian charges, you know you can't.
- 11:38Speaker 10: Yeah, you guys are all awesome. There, you guys are
- 11:42Speaker 10: also awesome. He was so excited to get that ball,
- 11:45Speaker 10: but you know it didn't have I mean, I guess
- 11:47Speaker 10: they had a player. I mean, Isaiah's an ex player,
- 11:49Speaker 10: So I felt like he was more excited to get
- 11:53Speaker 10: your guys signatures than he was like the players. So
- 11:56Speaker 10: it was it was pretty basically cool here when I
- 11:58Speaker 10: brought the balls for thanks you guys for that. I
- 12:00Speaker 10: really appreciate that for you guys. You' and I think
- 12:04Speaker 10: he's really cool to ask the media in person too,
- 12:06Speaker 10: that was cool too. Yeah, yeah, that was really cool.
- 12:12Speaker 10: So anyway, a couple of questions, just two quick questions
- 12:17Speaker 10: for you. The first one is going to be about Micah, So,
- 12:20Speaker 10: I mean, am I the only one he's excited that
- 12:22Speaker 10: he's going to be playing.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Like more linebackers because he could still brook and get
- 12:26Speaker 5: fox from the linebackers the wrist him.
- 12:28Speaker 6: And I mean, I haven't played.
- 12:30Speaker 10: For a very long time, but I used to play
- 12:32Speaker 10: in college too, And and I mean I played linebacker
- 12:36Speaker 10: and I used to I used to brisk the quarterback
- 12:38Speaker 10: all the time. So I mean it's and and the
- 12:41Speaker 10: thing is that now he can move around and these
- 12:44Speaker 10: different kinds of things, and he can still line him
- 12:46Speaker 10: up when they you know, when they run him in
- 12:48Speaker 10: the past, person on the edge or whatever.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm really.
- 12:51Speaker 10: Excited that he's going to be actually playing more linebackers
- 12:53Speaker 10: this year, hopefully. And I don't think it will take
- 12:56Speaker 10: away from his from his you know, performance and things
- 12:59Speaker 10: like that. I mean, he can still affect affect the.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Game at quarterback.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry he's going.
- 13:06Speaker 10: To you know, he can he can cause fumbles, he
- 13:08Speaker 10: can play.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Some run defense. I mean, to me, if fumble is
- 13:11Speaker 5: better than a sack.
- 13:12Speaker 1: So all right, you got another question, Yeah.
- 13:15Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 13:15Speaker 10: And the other question was I wanted to ask you,
- 13:18Speaker 10: since you're there at the Trendy camp, what was your uh,
- 13:21Speaker 10: what's what's your favorite thing that you've seen him from
- 13:23Speaker 10: the line.
- 13:26Speaker 1: All right, thanks, great, appreciate I appreciate it. The first
- 13:30Speaker 1: the first part, I thought, here's here's the ironic thing
- 13:33Speaker 1: about what you asked about linebacker. He's he's been listed
- 13:38Speaker 1: as a linebacker every every minute that he's been on
- 13:42Speaker 1: the team, he's been a linebacker. Yesterday, they they they
- 13:46Speaker 1: do the release, the press release for the first game
- 13:49Speaker 1: of the season, which gives you the depth chart for
- 13:51Speaker 1: the first time, and what is Micah Parsons the defensive end?
- 13:57Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know what. Yeah, on
- 14:00Speaker 1: this one, they got him listed at in he's been
- 14:04Speaker 1: actually lining up more at linebacker than we've seen. So
- 14:09Speaker 1: I can't I don't know what to tell you. I
- 14:11Speaker 1: just think that he's he's gonna he's gonna be out there,
- 14:13Speaker 1: of course, and he's gonna be all over the place.
- 14:15Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of the exciting thing. I talked
- 14:18Speaker 1: to him a little bit two days ago, wrote a
- 14:20Speaker 1: story on the website. Right now. He basically was like,
- 14:24Speaker 1: it's all installed now, we're all in all all of
- 14:28Speaker 1: these the plays are in, and he goes, they can't
- 14:31Speaker 1: stop me. He goes, they if I'm you know, doing
- 14:34Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to be doing. They're really not not
- 14:37Speaker 1: gonna be able to block me and so, and it
- 14:41Speaker 1: sounds very arrogant, cocky, but it's true. Right now, nobody
- 14:45Speaker 1: out here has been able to really block him. And uh,
- 14:49Speaker 1: Terrence Steele said something interesting when they asked, because I
- 14:51Speaker 1: asked him how just how much going up against Mike
- 14:54Speaker 1: it gets you better? And he was just talking about
- 14:57Speaker 1: the skies. He said, good luck with that. From the
- 15:01Speaker 1: from the opposing teams, you know, just trying to to
- 15:06Speaker 1: just trying to get blocked, you know, just trying to
- 15:08Speaker 1: get to recognize them and then get them blocked. All right,
- 15:13Speaker 1: let's go to Josh in Princeton, Texas, and we'll take
- 15:16Speaker 1: a break. I'm good. What's up?
- 15:21Speaker 11: Almost first time call over the long time listening? All right,
- 15:27Speaker 11: So I've been talking to Dylan and Rob and the
- 15:32Speaker 11: storyline community.
- 15:33Speaker 5: And.
- 15:35Speaker 12: I just wanted to make a comment about the first
- 15:37Speaker 12: call on the last show, the whole state, about the
- 15:42Speaker 12: whole regular season versus playoffs and everything.
- 15:46Speaker 5: M H.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I kind of I.
- 15:48Speaker 11: Kind of relate to what he was saying, but I
- 15:50Speaker 11: don't think that he really meant that the regular season
- 15:53Speaker 11: didn't matter.
- 15:55Speaker 5: I just think that.
- 15:56Speaker 1: And I know that because you're calling me in early
- 15:59Speaker 1: August the trading, like I get it. It's not like
- 16:02Speaker 1: you're going to take a nap and hibernate until I
- 16:04Speaker 1: get that, and I know he doesn't do that. But
- 16:07Speaker 1: it's just hard to say that because, I mean, because
- 16:11Speaker 1: no one really believes it. It's just that it's just
- 16:13Speaker 1: everything is like, oh wait and see, you know, like yeah,
- 16:16Speaker 1: this is all good, good game, good win, but and
- 16:20Speaker 1: it's just that dark cloud that's just lingering. So I
- 16:22Speaker 1: kind of I understand it too, but I think there's
- 16:25Speaker 1: a better way to say it.
- 16:27Speaker 11: Yep, yep, And I agree with you.
- 16:29Speaker 13: My opinion is that, you know, after experiencing you know,
- 16:34Speaker 13: twelve and five, three years in the row, I think
- 16:37Speaker 13: it's just a change in you know, confidence until you see.
- 16:41Speaker 12: You know, something different happening. Like if you think about it,
- 16:44Speaker 12: three years ago.
- 16:46Speaker 13: I was so confident that they can advance further in
- 16:49Speaker 13: the playoffs, and then you have the game against San
- 16:51Speaker 13: Francisco and it was a close game until the end,
- 16:55Speaker 13: and then you know it was kind of a build up. Okay,
- 16:58Speaker 13: next year we can get them, and then the whole
- 17:01Speaker 13: thing happened. With Pollard getting hurt and the game wasn't
- 17:04Speaker 13: so close, and then last year it was just like
- 17:07Speaker 13: a blowout. So it's like, I don't think, just say,
- 17:10Speaker 13: hypothetically they go twelve them five this year. My confidence
- 17:15Speaker 13: level just won't be the same as the world.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Now three years ago now, And I get that, you know,
- 17:20Speaker 1: That's why last year's lost was so tough because before
- 17:24Speaker 1: that they were not better than the forty nine ers.
- 17:28Speaker 1: They haven't been better. The Niners are at a different
- 17:33Speaker 1: level than the Cowboys are, and they had and even
- 17:36Speaker 1: though we didn't think that that first year because they
- 17:38Speaker 1: kind of snuck into the playoffs and the last seed
- 17:40Speaker 1: and then they came to Dallas, but they were from
- 17:43Speaker 1: a mismatch standpoint, they the Cowboys, they were just way
- 17:46Speaker 1: better and they have been. Their style just doesn't match
- 17:49Speaker 1: up with what the Cowboys are doing right now, and
- 17:52Speaker 1: so that's just kind of where it is now. Last
- 17:55Speaker 1: year's game was tough because you didn't expect that out
- 17:57Speaker 1: of Green Bay. But it's the same type of thing,
- 17:59Speaker 1: and I think the always need to realize that what
- 18:01Speaker 1: is getting them bet in the playoffs, it's a team
- 18:04Speaker 1: that can run the football and and is more physical
- 18:07Speaker 1: than them, and so that's been that's been the case
- 18:10Speaker 1: here really three years in a row. Yep.
- 18:12Speaker 11: And I remember the funny thing is last year I
- 18:16Speaker 11: remember telling my wife that, oh, yeah they should be
- 18:19Speaker 11: the packers. You know, it's more about the matchup in
- 18:21Speaker 11: the next round and where was out wrong?
- 18:24Speaker 1: Yep. And I think that the go ahead.
- 18:28Speaker 11: Also, I think another thing that would happen, you know,
- 18:31Speaker 11: if they get if they make it to the playoffs
- 18:34Speaker 11: and getting pounced early again, I think the front office
- 18:38Speaker 11: is going to be at a crossroads on how they
- 18:41Speaker 11: handle things as far as philosophy, like should they continue
- 18:45Speaker 11: on business as usual or should they try to make
- 18:47Speaker 11: us splash to get them over the top. I think
- 18:50Speaker 11: you have to consider that, you know, at that point.
- 18:52Speaker 11: But I mean, we'll see. It's all hypotheticals. I just
- 18:57Speaker 11: you know, I've heard that caller call a lot of times,
- 18:59Speaker 11: so I just don't think he really meant it, you.
- 19:02Speaker 5: Know, he didn't say it the right way.
- 19:03Speaker 11: I guess, yeah, I kind of relate to what he was.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Saying, and I think we all do. I mean, I think, well,
- 19:10Speaker 1: you said it best when the play if the playoffs happen,
- 19:13Speaker 1: because you got it. Let's not just you know, put
- 19:16Speaker 1: them in here. I mean, this is going to be
- 19:18Speaker 1: a tough one for the Cowboys to get back to
- 19:21Speaker 1: the playoffs. But if they do, you know, I think
- 19:25Speaker 1: the expectations will be uh, you know, lessened a little bit.
- 19:29Speaker 1: But I think if they get into the playoffs, I
- 19:31Speaker 1: think I think we'll see the body of work here,
- 19:33Speaker 1: will see the struggle, We'll see what type of team
- 19:35Speaker 1: they are. I don't think anyone will be looking ahead
- 19:38Speaker 1: to anything, you know, I think it'll be you know,
- 19:42Speaker 1: probably just excited to be there, because I do think
- 19:45Speaker 1: this is going to be a more of a challenge
- 19:47Speaker 1: of a season.
- 19:49Speaker 11: Okay, all right, I appreciate that Nick, All right.

- 22:01Speaker 4: Yes, some here?
- 22:02Speaker 1: What's up?
- 22:03Speaker 5: Hey? Nick?
- 22:04Speaker 7: Are you doing.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Hey?
- 22:07Speaker 4: Finally he was able to call in. I hadn't been
- 22:09Speaker 4: able to get in since you guys had been back
- 22:12Speaker 4: in training camp, been busy with work. So I was
- 22:15Speaker 4: going on a little drive today and I thought, I'm
- 22:17Speaker 4: gonna be able to try to call in.
- 22:19Speaker 5: And I was able to get in it.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Glad to have you guys back.
- 22:22Speaker 1: You're the champ.
- 22:24Speaker 4: I appreciate that. Hey, So I don't mean to beat
- 22:27Speaker 4: on a dead horse. And I couldn't hear the last
- 22:30Speaker 4: callers comments. I could just hear your your part, So
- 22:34Speaker 4: I don't know if he was kind of talking about
- 22:36Speaker 4: the same thing, but I was calling back calling the
- 22:38Speaker 4: reference to Michael's call the other day. But when he
- 22:41Speaker 4: led off about the program five season and how it
- 22:45Speaker 4: doesn't really mean anything once you get beat in the playoffs,
- 22:48Speaker 4: and you know, he's right to a certain extent, none
- 22:53Speaker 4: of that matters unless you win the last game of
- 22:55Speaker 4: the season and you're holding the trophy. Otherwise, your season
- 22:59Speaker 4: could be good, but it wasn't.
- 23:01Speaker 5: What you wanted.
- 23:03Speaker 4: But you can't remotely even get close to that if
- 23:07Speaker 4: you don't have that twelve and five season or that
- 23:11Speaker 4: eleven and six and make the playoffs. I see on
- 23:15Speaker 4: the storyliner's twitter bill that's the question that they talked about.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Is does it matter.
- 23:22Speaker 4: If you go twelve and five and lose in the
- 23:23Speaker 4: divisional round? And again I think it does. I mean
- 23:28Speaker 4: that twelve and five is important to give you that opportunity.
- 23:33Speaker 4: If you don't do that twelve and five, you don't
- 23:35Speaker 4: have the opportunity, then the whole season is a waste.
- 23:39Speaker 4: So if I'm beating that dead horse and that's what
- 23:41Speaker 4: you talked about, I apologize my other day. I thought
- 23:45Speaker 4: it on the fly. If that's what he talked about,
- 23:48Speaker 4: was there's one and if there's any update on CD
- 23:51Speaker 4: I know you know Sunday's coming quick, and that million
- 23:53Speaker 4: dollar fine is coming fast. Do you think he'll show
- 23:57Speaker 4: up and be like, hey, I'm here before I get
- 24:00Speaker 4: that million dollar fine, or do you think that he's
- 24:04Speaker 4: willing to that.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and the Cowboys it's there. It's their decision.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It's up to the discretion of the team in this
- 24:14Speaker 1: particular case if they want to do that, and they're
- 24:20Speaker 1: kind of keeping it kind of quiet on whether or
- 24:23Speaker 1: not they're actually doing the forty thousand a day. So
- 24:26Speaker 1: I think it. I think, honestly, the finds have not
- 24:30Speaker 1: been a big factor here. You know, I think that
- 24:33Speaker 1: they know that CD's the agent knows that CD knows that,
- 24:36Speaker 1: so it's a million dollar might be different though, you know,
- 24:41Speaker 1: it might it might be something to kind of get
- 24:43Speaker 1: their attention. I know yesterday one of the they did
- 24:46Speaker 1: make a roster move. They just moved him from the
- 24:48Speaker 1: roster and put him on a reserved did not report list. Uh,
- 24:55Speaker 1: that just saves a roster spot so they can add
- 24:57Speaker 1: some others. They added three players to imbackers, so they
- 25:01Speaker 1: just needed a roster spot. If he called right now
- 25:04Speaker 1: and said I'll be there, somebody's getting cut because he's
- 25:07Speaker 1: getting on the team for sure. So you know. But
- 25:11Speaker 1: to answer all your questions, I agree, you know, the
- 25:14Speaker 1: twelve and five. It's it's just I've never looked at
- 25:18Speaker 1: it that way. I don't ever, I don't ever think, well,
- 25:21Speaker 1: look ahead. I'll try to do my best to stay
- 25:23Speaker 1: in the in the moment, so you know, don't forget
- 25:26Speaker 1: enjoying the ride. I mean the twelve and five season.
- 25:29Speaker 1: You say it doesn't mean anything, but think about it
- 25:31Speaker 1: from the different perspective. Thanks for the call, Champ. Think
- 25:34Speaker 1: about it from this perspective. It's football season right now, okay,
- 25:38Speaker 1: and we're excited. Everybody's excited. Everybody excited about the team.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Everybody you know, excited about what's going on from September, October,
- 25:46Speaker 1: you know, November and December. You've got a football team
- 25:49Speaker 1: that should give you a lot of excitement, a lot
- 25:52Speaker 1: of joy. That's what being a football fan is is
- 25:56Speaker 1: the anticipation of all week and hope they do this,
- 25:59Speaker 1: Hope this guy can block this guy. I hope this
- 26:01Speaker 1: guy's ankles injury is. You know, he's gonna be fine,
- 26:03Speaker 1: he's gonna play whatever, whatever it is. You get to
- 26:06Speaker 1: Sunday and you get that win. That's what being a
- 26:09Speaker 1: fan is all about. And so think about it. If
- 26:11Speaker 1: you're not twelve at five, if you're five and twelve,
- 26:14Speaker 1: then you're you're watching the draft show. You're you're thinking
- 26:17Speaker 1: about what we're gonna do, and you know, and who
- 26:20Speaker 1: who we get draft. So I think of it from
- 26:23Speaker 1: the excitement we have for a football season, and you
- 26:26Speaker 1: actually have a really good season. Now, all that being said,
- 26:31Speaker 1: the bottom drops out when you lose in the playoffs
- 26:34Speaker 1: and all this. You get excited. But if you if
- 26:36Speaker 1: you're the type of person that says it was all
- 26:39Speaker 1: for not that's that's just you. I can't. I cannot
- 26:43Speaker 1: father than that. I can argue with you because I
- 26:45Speaker 1: don't relate. I look at it from the ride, and man,
- 26:49Speaker 1: it was fun. It was a good season, and and
- 26:53Speaker 1: you lose in the playoffs, Yeah, it was disappointing. I
- 26:55Speaker 1: got asked last night. We had a we had a
- 26:57Speaker 1: media party last night in Malibu. Was great. I gotta
- 27:00Speaker 1: asked the question, what was the worst loss? Worst playoff
- 27:04Speaker 1: loss was two thousand and seven, was at fourteen, was
- 27:08Speaker 1: at sixteen, and to me, it was last year. I said,
- 27:11Speaker 1: it was last year. That's the worst loss in the
- 27:14Speaker 1: playoffs that I can remember. Because the excitement of this
- 27:16Speaker 1: team really might have something. You're the number two seed,
- 27:19Speaker 1: you have two games at home if you can win them,
- 27:21Speaker 1: and you're playing a team that barely barely got to
- 27:24Speaker 1: the playoffs. This should be a blowout, and it was.
- 27:28Speaker 1: It was. It was a blowout, and that it was.
- 27:31Speaker 1: That was a tough one. But does it Does it
- 27:33Speaker 1: mean that wasn't a good season? No, because I remember
- 27:36Speaker 1: the four I remember the four months, and I remember
- 27:38Speaker 1: doing these shows with you guys and how exciting it
- 27:41Speaker 1: was and just connecting with the fans, And so that's
- 27:43Speaker 1: the way I look at it, like one game is
- 27:45Speaker 1: not going to change what I feel like in the season.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Still is still one of the most disappointing losses though,
- 27:50Speaker 1: all Right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma, her, what's going on.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold.
- 27:57Speaker 15: You and talk about if it's better to be in
- 28:00Speaker 15: the playoffs and not in the regular season. Like, honestly,
- 28:04Speaker 15: I enjoy every game, every moment, even when we lose.
- 28:07Speaker 3: I just I'm pretty try. I got my kids addicted.
- 28:10Speaker 15: To it now, because you want to start regardless if
- 28:13Speaker 15: they're winning their low so and and don't get me wrong,
- 28:17Speaker 15: I do want to win in the playoffs, but I'm
- 28:18Speaker 15: not going to stress about that because you can't get
- 28:20Speaker 15: to the playoffs without winning the regular season. But so
- 28:25Speaker 15: I was With that being said, I was just gonna
- 28:27Speaker 15: take it a little lighthearted because you know, I had
- 28:30Speaker 15: you trying to champion me to come to the game
- 28:32Speaker 15: for a few games this year, and so I was thinking,
- 28:36Speaker 15: outside of being in Dallas and eating their food at
- 28:39Speaker 15: the stadium itself, who has the best food in your opinion?
- 28:46Speaker 1: And I'll take it off say that tis time.
- 28:50Speaker 5: Who Okay, I'll said who who?
- 28:52Speaker 3: Outside of eating the food.
- 28:53Speaker 15: In Dallas the stadium and all of that, like who
- 28:56Speaker 15: has the other three one teams? Who has the best
- 28:59Speaker 15: state you would like to visit? And who has the
- 29:02Speaker 15: best food you would like to eat?
- 29:05Speaker 1: Food in the stadium?
- 29:07Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 29:07Speaker 1: Yeah, no?
- 29:08Speaker 5: Who? Who? Who has the best stadium you like to visit?
- 29:12Speaker 15: And who has the best food that you would like
- 29:14Speaker 15: to eat when you do go out of town?
- 29:16Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, thank you, Lewis. And we
- 29:24Speaker 1: asked this question a lot in the media about road
- 29:27Speaker 1: trips in general and and like what's the best trip
- 29:31Speaker 1: and that factors in everything, I mean everything about the
- 29:35Speaker 1: trip that matters to us, you know, length of the
- 29:39Speaker 1: flight and the press box food and the press box
- 29:43Speaker 1: view and that elevator to get down to the field,
- 29:46Speaker 1: and how quickly and all this kind of stuff. Is
- 29:48Speaker 1: the weather at the stadium. Uh, so we answer your
- 29:52Speaker 1: question of the stadium. Yeah, Minnesota's always been pretty pretty
- 29:59Speaker 1: cool this new stadium, because it is it is a
- 30:03Speaker 1: cool fan experience. They get so loud and there's no
- 30:07Speaker 1: flakes flying and all that. I mean, it seems so intimidating. However,
- 30:11Speaker 1: the Cowboys have never lost there at that new stadium,
- 30:15Speaker 1: so that's always been a cool you know, because it's
- 30:17Speaker 1: fun game, it's intense and all that, and the Cowboys
- 30:20Speaker 1: play really well. So that's always been a cool experience,
- 30:24Speaker 1: is Minnesota. As for the food, and I think you're
- 30:29Speaker 1: asking kind of food for the city, you know it.
- 30:36Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean New Orleans always has good food,
- 30:40Speaker 1: but they also have good other things too, like you know,
- 30:43Speaker 1: just more from a beverage standpoint too. So New Orleans
- 30:46Speaker 1: is fine. Uh you know, I mean look at me.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I mean I think all cities have good food. I mean,
- 30:51Speaker 1: so I'm good with that. All Right, we're gonna move
- 30:54Speaker 1: to David from Fort Worth. We're gonna switch. Thanks for
- 30:57Speaker 1: the called this David fort Worth.
- 30:59Speaker 16: Yeah, they're.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Good Man good.
- 31:03Speaker 16: Hey, I'm sorry I realized that I'm like, at this point,
- 31:07Speaker 16: really just beating the crap out of this dead horse.
- 31:09Speaker 16: I apologize, man, but I've been trying to get on
- 31:11Speaker 16: since the show started, and I kind of just want
- 31:13Speaker 16: to spill.
- 31:13Speaker 3: My heart out a little bit.
- 31:15Speaker 16: Yeah, man, I mean I get what the caller was
- 31:18Speaker 16: talking about initially yesterday, Like everybody else has said, I'm
- 31:21Speaker 16: so sorry again that I'm repeating it, but it's like
- 31:23Speaker 16: if I was going to get a performance evaluation at
- 31:26Speaker 16: my job, and I did every all the daily things
- 31:28Speaker 16: pretty good, but when it came down to like a
- 31:30Speaker 16: big project, I didn't perform. They're going to take that
- 31:33Speaker 16: in consideration when it comes to like mott raises or whatever.
- 31:35Speaker 16: And I think that's what he's talking about. But obviously
- 31:37Speaker 16: as far as like the regular season, I mean, the
- 31:40Speaker 16: way I try to I made like a little analogy
- 31:42Speaker 16: to Dylan and some of the guys in the storyline
- 31:44Speaker 16: community on Twitter. The way I kind of try to
- 31:47Speaker 16: make it like put in perspective is like if I
- 31:50Speaker 16: told somebody like, if the playoffs only matter, then don't
- 31:53Speaker 16: watch any regular season games, like none at all, Because
- 31:56Speaker 16: if only the playoffs matter, then don't watch any regular
- 31:59Speaker 16: season game and if they don't make the playoffs, that
- 32:01Speaker 16: means you might go a whole season without seeing any
- 32:03Speaker 16: Dallas Cowboys games. And if you're not okay with that,
- 32:06Speaker 16: then it's not about winning championships only for you. It's
- 32:09Speaker 16: about the love of the game. It's about the love
- 32:11Speaker 16: of the sport. It's about the love of this team.
- 32:13Speaker 16: So I mean, like I said, I know in a
- 32:15Speaker 16: thousand different ways, you guys have already kind of covered that,
- 32:17Speaker 16: but I really wanted to put that out there because
- 32:19Speaker 16: if somebody told me that I could only watch the
- 32:22Speaker 16: playoffs and they might win the Super Bowl, I'd be
- 32:24Speaker 16: like no, man, Like I want to watch every single game.
- 32:27Speaker 16: I want to watch every single snap, and I don't
- 32:29Speaker 16: want And I'm like you, I don't want anybody to
- 32:31Speaker 16: tell me, like, hey, this happened in the game. You know,
- 32:34Speaker 16: if I need to take a break from it, like
- 32:35Speaker 16: you mentioned before that you need to walk around the
- 32:37Speaker 16: neighborhood or someone's got to clear your mind during a game,
- 32:39Speaker 16: they'll come.
- 32:39Speaker 6: Back, you'll finish it.
- 32:40Speaker 16: I don't want to know what's going on. I need
- 32:42Speaker 16: to experience it myself. I need to see every single
- 32:44Speaker 16: every single snap, every single play, like that's just the
- 32:46Speaker 16: way I'm built, man. So again, a little passion a
- 32:49Speaker 16: little bit passionate about that. I realized that I'm calling
- 32:51Speaker 16: I'm being a dead horse. I apologize about that, but
- 32:53Speaker 16: I wanted to share my feelings.
- 32:54Speaker 6: Brother.
- 32:54Speaker 16: I appreciate youah taking my call. I actually got a
- 32:56Speaker 16: meeting at ten thirty. I'm late, so I just want
- 32:58Speaker 16: to all right, really.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny that you say that, because you're like, yeah,
- 33:03Speaker 1: just like you said, you know, if you don't if
- 33:05Speaker 1: you don't do well in the big projects, but yet
- 33:07Speaker 1: there's all the other things that kind of lead up
- 33:09Speaker 1: to those big projects, like being you know, punctual at
- 33:13Speaker 1: meetings and actually being a good teammate and all these
- 33:15Speaker 1: kind of things that make them work. I think one
- 33:19Speaker 1: thing that's very clear here by and we're talking about
- 33:22Speaker 1: Michael and Colton California, who calls a lot. He's very passionate,
- 33:27Speaker 1: and a lot of other people now have kind of
- 33:29Speaker 1: piggybacked on this and talking about me, what things I've
- 33:33Speaker 1: said and and all that stuff, and even David said,
- 33:36Speaker 1: you know, he does things differently. I think one thing
- 33:39Speaker 1: is just very clear. It's that everybody is different in
- 33:42Speaker 1: how they they are a fan of the team. Everyone's
- 33:44Speaker 1: different and that's that's okay. But we're all kind of
- 33:48Speaker 1: in this together. We're all in this Cowboys storyline. We're
- 33:52Speaker 1: in this community. We care about the team, we care
- 33:55Speaker 1: about what's going on in training camp and all that.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Everybody's got their own passion. They just they just do
- 34:01Speaker 1: it differently, you know, and so you know, that's that's
- 34:06Speaker 1: that's fine. That's what makes us kind of who we
- 34:08Speaker 1: are and what we do. So I'm hopefully we're not
- 34:12Speaker 1: you know, I think we can kind of move on
- 34:14Speaker 1: from this. I would like to, just because nobody's right
- 34:19Speaker 1: and no one's wrong, it's just how their perspective is.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, I know that
- 34:25Speaker 1: the guy that was saying that about nothing matters but
- 34:27Speaker 1: the pro postseason, he's going to watch every minute of
- 34:32Speaker 1: these three preseason games, not to mention all of the
- 34:35Speaker 1: regular season games. So it's really kind of a moot point.
- 34:39Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Travis and San Antonio. Travis,
- 34:44Speaker 1: We're going, good man, how are you doing pretty good around?
- 34:48Speaker 1: I'm just telling that Chris eatons some breakfast. I caught
- 34:50Speaker 1: him what he ate for breakfast this morning? So we
- 34:52Speaker 1: had a little chit chat.
- 34:54Speaker 17: I wasn't calling about that good but mine, my my
- 35:00Speaker 17: perspective on that not to just real simple is because
- 35:04Speaker 17: it's just and it's only just as you said, you
- 35:06Speaker 17: made the point that everyone has a different perspective, and
- 35:10Speaker 17: real quick, my perspective is I'll enjoy the ride for sure,
- 35:15Speaker 17: all of it. Like I said, well especially all us
- 35:17Speaker 17: to call in like we're going to enjoy the ride.
- 35:19Speaker 17: I'm going to enjoy the season, and but ultimately, if
- 35:22Speaker 17: we don't want a super Bowl, then to me, the
- 35:24Speaker 17: season was a failure, which sounds negative, but it's not.
- 35:27Speaker 17: It's thirty one other teams also at a failure, so
- 35:29Speaker 17: it's like, you know, if you got another season, then
- 35:32Speaker 17: you just go from there. So it's not like a
- 35:34Speaker 17: super negative thing. But the Ultimate Goals Championship, if you
- 35:36Speaker 17: don't get it, you don't get it and we move on, right,
- 35:39Speaker 17: so we go to the next season. Yeah, like you said,
- 35:41Speaker 17: that ride continues. Okay, but think about my perspective, but
- 35:44Speaker 17: think about failure and think about when we're growing up.
- 35:49Speaker 17: It's a it's a little bit that's why I said
- 35:51Speaker 17: it's a little bit of a harsh word.
- 35:52Speaker 1: But yeah, it is, because where where does the stem from.
- 35:55Speaker 1: It's stem failed. It stems from you know, when you're
- 35:59Speaker 1: in school, I failed, you failed? Can't you can't move on?
- 36:03Speaker 1: You know me and I you know, I'm more of
- 36:06Speaker 1: a C type student. It wasn't failure, but but it
- 36:10Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't acceptable, but you can still move and
- 36:13Speaker 1: move on to it. So yeah, I don't know. Again, Hey,
- 36:17Speaker 1: we're all looking at this differently. You wouldn't be calling
- 36:19Speaker 1: this show. Nobody's going to be calling this show on
- 36:21Speaker 1: August the sixth and seventh if they didn't care.
- 36:23Speaker 17: Yeah, but see the other thing is too like like
- 36:25Speaker 17: that's why I said when I when I use it,
- 36:27Speaker 17: it's not like how most people use the word field
- 36:29Speaker 17: because you know, fail in general has a negative connotation
- 36:31Speaker 17: where it's like, you know, if you say you like fail,
- 36:34Speaker 17: like it's this whole, like big thing, like it's just
- 36:36Speaker 17: we didn't achieve the goal. Maybe that's a better way
- 36:38Speaker 17: to say it. Yeah, but I just want to see
- 36:41Speaker 17: what you thought going into to change the topic or
- 36:45Speaker 17: maybe get some other some other things going going into
- 36:48Speaker 17: this first preseason game, Who are like the three guys
- 36:53Speaker 17: that you're really going to try and maybe kind of
- 36:55Speaker 17: look at and pay.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Attention to give me there, give me three that you yeah,
- 37:01Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you have some, and then I'll.
- 37:04Speaker 17: Well, you know, you know, you know, I'm the l
- 37:06Speaker 17: presidente of the Moze Club. And he's had three or
- 37:10Speaker 17: four good practice. I don't know how much they're gonna play,
- 37:12Speaker 17: but if he's getting reps, which I imagine he would,
- 37:16Speaker 17: he's one.
- 37:17Speaker 1: I want to see how he doesn't play. I will
- 37:20Speaker 1: not understand that. Like I get, I get the whole
- 37:23Speaker 1: starters and stuff like that, but this dude needs to play.
- 37:26Speaker 1: He needs to play football. Like I don't care about
- 37:29Speaker 1: all that. It's it's been a month. He's got to
- 37:31Speaker 1: go play. You can't be saving anybody. So I'd be
- 37:34Speaker 1: shocked with you they don't play him.
- 37:37Speaker 17: Me too, So that's the that's the easy one for me.
- 37:39Speaker 17: And then the other two are obviously like Trey. I
- 37:42Speaker 17: want to see how Trey does and I'll say I'll
- 37:45Speaker 17: give you four. John Stevens Junior. I want to see
- 37:47Speaker 17: him again to see if he can build on what
- 37:48Speaker 17: he did last year just because of the injury. And
- 37:50Speaker 17: then Calen Carson and live reps. Yeah, yeah, he's not thought. Yeah,
- 37:55Speaker 17: those are good. Those are good names. Have a great
- 37:57Speaker 17: show you too. Thanks appreciated thing you guys do.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Travis, those are good names. Those
- 38:02Speaker 1: are names, you know, Mozzi. I mean Trey Lance is
- 38:07Speaker 1: kind of given right. I mean this, I mean thirty
- 38:09Speaker 1: two teams want to see what Trey Lance is gonna do.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I mean everybody. He's looking at it, and not just
- 38:13Speaker 1: the cow I mean everybody and the forty nine ers too,
- 38:16Speaker 1: Like what do we trade away here? What everyone's interested
- 38:18Speaker 1: on this guy? I mean it was third pick overall
- 38:20Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and he hasn't done anything yet,
- 38:23Speaker 1: hasn't had great practices out here, and you know, you'll
- 38:26Speaker 1: see what happens when the lights come on. Kailn. Carson's
- 38:28Speaker 1: a really good one too. I would I'd put him
- 38:30Speaker 1: on my list if I could add a couple here.
- 38:36Speaker 1: I'm looking at the depth chart. Actually, I'm not sitting
- 38:38Speaker 1: here looking at Twitter or anything like that. I'm looking
- 38:41Speaker 1: at the depth chart that they just sent out. So
- 38:43Speaker 1: I'm just kind of looking at some of the names.
- 38:46Speaker 1: You know, I'll be interested to any of the offensive
- 38:49Speaker 1: linemen who they put out there. And I know that
- 38:53Speaker 1: Beabie will play. He'll probably what I would guess, he's
- 38:59Speaker 1: the backup center here. I think they'll play Hoffman. I
- 39:02Speaker 1: think BB will probably play. He could even start, or
- 39:06Speaker 1: he could play some at guard. You know, I wouldn't
- 39:09Speaker 1: imagine Tyler Smith or Martin playing, so it could be
- 39:12Speaker 1: bass and ball. But I would imagine that that Bibi
- 39:16Speaker 1: gets some some reps at center and guard, so that
- 39:18Speaker 1: that'll be something to watch for sure. Willie Harvey's making
- 39:23Speaker 1: a lot of plays at linebacker. Would like to see
- 39:25Speaker 1: him continue to make some plays. And these running backs,
- 39:28Speaker 1: you know, whoever gets the ball out there, I'm sure
- 39:30Speaker 1: the leak Davis will get a lot, Hunter Lipke, those
- 39:33Speaker 1: are those are good names, and any receiver that comes
- 39:36Speaker 1: out here and does a really really good job. But
- 39:38Speaker 1: then you know what happens when the games come on.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Tyron Tyron, Billy Johnson is the name Jalen Cropper. I mean,
- 39:44Speaker 1: these guys are making a lot of plays out here.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Let's see if they take it to the game, all right,
- 39:49Speaker 1: Robin Vegas, Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob, how are you doing?
- 39:54Speaker 5: I'm good?
- 39:55Speaker 1: Oh good good?
- 39:57Speaker 5: Nick.
- 39:58Speaker 18: What was the name of the guy that called in
- 40:00Speaker 18: a couple of days ago that we're talking about.
- 40:04Speaker 12: We know.
- 40:06Speaker 18: Which one the guy that said this regular season doesn't know?
- 40:11Speaker 1: Yes, Michael Michael from Colton, California.
- 40:15Speaker 18: Michael, that was a great call. We're still talking about it.
- 40:19Speaker 18: And you know, that was a great call.
- 40:20Speaker 1: That's the thing that's that's good. Anthony and Miami did
- 40:23Speaker 1: it last year during during a game, said something about,
- 40:27Speaker 1: you know, they didn't really have to win a Super Bowl.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Well that sparked debate for like a week.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I listen, of course, I agree.
- 40:36Speaker 8: I don't disagramble like you said. I'm watching every preseason.
- 40:39Speaker 8: I'm watching obviously you I'm watching the team. And but
- 40:44Speaker 8: you know, he's got a point. You got to get
- 40:46Speaker 8: over the hump and it's now.
- 40:48Speaker 18: En ever, especially what's taking place with the.
- 40:51Speaker 6: Contracts, you know.
- 40:54Speaker 18: To me, and I don't know if other fans feel
- 40:55Speaker 18: like this, it's it's easier for me. When the Cowboys
- 41:01Speaker 18: had no expectations, like when Dek broke his ankle, the
- 41:04Speaker 18: rest of that season to me was simple. I watched
- 41:07Speaker 18: the game not with the same intensity. It was like, hey,
- 41:10Speaker 18: if we pull it out right.
- 41:12Speaker 5: You know, being being a fan of a bad team
- 41:16Speaker 5: to me is.
- 41:17Speaker 18: Easy because you're going into the season with maybe we
- 41:20Speaker 18: get four or five wins.
- 41:22Speaker 5: You know, being a fan of a good.
- 41:24Speaker 18: Team like you know the Cowboys, you know.
- 41:27Speaker 5: The Eagles, whoever, you're expecting more.
- 41:31Speaker 6: And let's face it, last year what sucked.
- 41:35Speaker 18: The most is they overlooked Green Bay and I think
- 41:39Speaker 18: that's what I got blown out.
- 41:40Speaker 6: And you're right, that was the worst loss that one.
- 41:42Speaker 18: And I thought the rookie year with Dak and Z
- 41:47Speaker 18: because I thought they could have been really dangerous.
- 41:50Speaker 5: But last year was just it. We had everything lined up.
- 41:55Speaker 6: But no, I mean, you just got enjoyed.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Or Rye Travis.
- 42:02Speaker 6: I love Travis.
- 42:02Speaker 18: Travis is the president of the Massi fan Club.
- 42:05Speaker 6: I tell him, and he.
- 42:07Speaker 18: Loves Mazzie and I give him credit. He really watches
- 42:10Speaker 18: him and follows him, and he's right.
- 42:12Speaker 5: He'll post stuff and he is.
- 42:14Speaker 6: Mazzi looks better.
- 42:15Speaker 18: Whatever whatever they're doing looks better than last year. Now
- 42:19Speaker 18: I have to see it in the game. And with
- 42:23Speaker 18: the Dak issue. Can you see a scenario where if
- 42:28Speaker 18: they because I believe if they don't get Jack signed
- 42:32Speaker 18: by the first game of the season, I don't think
- 42:34Speaker 18: they sign him at all, because I don't think he
- 42:37Speaker 18: he'll negotiate, and I don't think he'll he'll take it.
- 42:40Speaker 18: I think he'll just let it ride. And then it's
- 42:42Speaker 18: going to get to a point where I think you're
- 42:44Speaker 18: going to have to put him up for trade and
- 42:47Speaker 18: just try it because you're going to get nothing.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Claws too, so yeah, but yeah.
- 42:54Speaker 6: But no trade clause doesn't mean you can't try it.
- 42:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 42:56Speaker 1: But but when are you're trading him? You're trading him
- 42:58Speaker 1: at the end of the season.
- 42:59Speaker 18: No, no, No, in the in the during the season.
- 43:02Speaker 6: I can't wait till the end of the season. Once
- 43:04Speaker 6: the end of the season, he's a free agent, nobody would.
- 43:07Speaker 5: Trade because they know he's gone.
- 43:09Speaker 18: And I truly believe he's gone. If you don't sign
- 43:12Speaker 18: him before the season starts, that that has no.
- 43:16Speaker 5: Problem betting on himself.
- 43:19Speaker 1: He's one I know. I don't you're you're right about that.
- 43:24Speaker 1: He does bet on himself and he's gonna he's gonna
- 43:27Speaker 1: be He's gonna be signed. I really believe that they'll
- 43:29Speaker 1: both be signed. I I think they'll both be signed
- 43:32Speaker 1: by the start of the season. Rob, do you have
- 43:33Speaker 1: another call? We are trying to get another break in.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Do you have another question?
- 43:36Speaker 6: I'm sorry, no, no, go go grab somebody else.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Thanks Rob, appreciate that really good stuff. And you did
- 43:42Speaker 1: make a really good point when you said, you know
- 43:43Speaker 1: about good teams. You know, it's hard. It's easier to
- 43:47Speaker 1: be fan of a bad team and a good team.
- 43:49Speaker 1: This is actually worse. This is like being a fan
- 43:52Speaker 1: of a good team with great expectations. It's it's being
- 43:57Speaker 1: a fan of a good team and a great uh
- 44:00Speaker 1: you know, franchise, a great organization. Because nothing. You're not
- 44:05Speaker 1: comparing this team for what they did last year or
- 44:08Speaker 1: two years ago or three years ago. You're comparing what
- 44:10Speaker 1: they did thirty years ago, in fifty years ago in
- 44:14Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's what you that's what you care about.
- 44:17Speaker 1: That's what that's what that's the standard. And that's what's tough.
- 44:20Speaker 1: That's what's tough for the Cowboys. It's what's tough for
- 44:23Speaker 1: Notre Dame. It's tough for the University of Texas. It's
- 44:25Speaker 1: tough for the Yankees and the Lakers because their seasons
- 44:30Speaker 1: are judged by what Magic Johnson did and Notre Dame
- 44:34Speaker 1: and all. You know what I mean. And that's that's it,
- 44:36Speaker 1: and it's great. That's why we have all this, but
- 44:38Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily it's not fair to these guys because
- 44:41Speaker 1: sometimes they're not good enough to compete at that same level,
- 44:46Speaker 1: in that same standard. There's a good, solid team, but
- 44:49Speaker 1: they're getting these great, phenomenal standards and it's not always easy. Hey,
- 44:54Speaker 1: no one's crying about it. It is fun. This is
- 44:56Speaker 1: why we're here, it's why we get to do this.
- 44:58Speaker 1: But the reality is is a lot of times the
- 45:01Speaker 1: teams haven't been good enough to match the expectations that
- 45:05Speaker 1: come with them. That's just that's fair. That's just is
- 45:07Speaker 1: what it is. We're gonna take a quick quick break.
- 45:09Speaker 1: We'll be right back here on storyline.

- 46:31Speaker 1: what's up? Am?
- 46:32Speaker 3: What's up to make?
- 46:33Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 46:35Speaker 5: It?
- 46:35Speaker 1: Was there?
- 46:35Speaker 5: Man?
- 46:36Speaker 3: Hey man? My question is it would you have to
- 46:38Speaker 3: do with as far as uh contracts?
- 46:41Speaker 1: Man?
- 46:41Speaker 4: Uh?
- 46:42Speaker 3: You know, CD, we got these three players we need
- 46:44Speaker 3: to get signed, you know, yep. And my thing is
- 46:46Speaker 3: that you see these these uh these market uh these
- 46:49Speaker 3: record contracts, he said. I think Jordan loves they just
- 46:52Speaker 3: signed them and then they would do justin Jefferson not
- 46:55Speaker 3: too long ago so like, is Jerry just waiting for
- 46:57Speaker 3: the Saturday?
- 46:58Speaker 1: I mean, what is that?
- 46:59Speaker 5: What do you call that?
- 47:00Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, the Saturday kept the riot, you know, revenue
- 47:02Speaker 3: every year ago. Dumb like doesn't want to pay these guys.
- 47:05Speaker 1: No, No, he wants to He wants to pay and
- 47:08Speaker 1: and and the players. The players are playing hardball too.
- 47:11Speaker 1: It's not a two it's a it's definitely two way street.
- 47:14Speaker 1: It's not it's something that it's just Jerry's sitting back
- 47:16Speaker 1: going I don't need them, I don't want these guys. No,
- 47:19Speaker 1: it's that they're trying to make this thing work, especially
- 47:22Speaker 1: because there's three of them. What you're seeing, you're seeing
- 47:24Speaker 1: these guys these deals. But come back to me. If
- 47:28Speaker 1: you're seeing these teams do three mega deals like that
- 47:31Speaker 1: or two back to back. I mean, it's not the
- 47:34Speaker 1: easiest thing to do because they're all sitting right there
- 47:37Speaker 1: and Micah is not on the back burner. They're thinking
- 47:40Speaker 1: about Micah when they think about these other two. So
- 47:44Speaker 1: there are three. They're not gonna be three done right now,
- 47:46Speaker 1: but there's three in their mind when they are thinking
- 47:49Speaker 1: about this. And I say three, there's probably four or five.
- 47:51Speaker 1: There's other guys too, that they're gonna they want to sign,
- 47:54Speaker 1: you know, on the second third tier.
- 47:56Speaker 3: That's true, that that happens when you drafts all believe,
- 48:00Speaker 3: you know, yeah, you gotta get free agency story, you know,
- 48:03Speaker 3: the free agents you bring hi when you're doing draft. Well,
- 48:05Speaker 3: but uh, where the Trevon Daggs deal looking like a
- 48:09Speaker 3: deer now? I mean I'm seeing these people get we
- 48:11Speaker 3: just signed them last year, didn't we. Yeah, got his extension.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Yeah, he got an extension last year, and you know,
- 48:19Speaker 1: yeah he got hurt.
- 48:20Speaker 3: And my thing is, yeah, yeah, that's it happens. But uh,
- 48:23Speaker 3: and the thing is, you know, CD not being in camp.
- 48:25Speaker 3: I know that first that that that uh, that defense
- 48:28Speaker 3: against the Browns coming up, that's a tough defense. So
- 48:31Speaker 3: I kind of wish he was in camp, you know,
- 48:33Speaker 3: but you know, I imagine trying to trying to get paid.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Hopefully he doesn't throw off the time and you know,
- 48:37Speaker 3: like like his first getting into game action and stuff.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's all I'm saying.
- 48:42Speaker 3: I'm just wondered, like where it was taking exactle the contracts,
- 48:44Speaker 3: you know, Yeah.
- 48:45Speaker 1: And I wish I had a good answer on what's
- 48:47Speaker 1: taking so long? And there's just so many things about that,
- 48:50Speaker 1: But I'll say this, I mean that we're we're still
- 48:54Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Star magazine here, they've got this.
- 48:57Speaker 1: They should have a schedule right in the middle of
- 49:02Speaker 1: somebody already ripped the schedule out of this one. But no,
- 49:05Speaker 1: there is uh so September the eighth, let's say August seventh,
- 49:10Speaker 1: I mean thirty you know, thirty days, thirty one days,
- 49:13Speaker 1: something like that, two days, two days before before the
- 49:16Speaker 1: first game. Yeah, I think see the brown Yeah, browns
- 49:22Speaker 1: the same exactly. My point is I think CD he
- 49:27Speaker 1: could he could be out for two more weeks. He
- 49:29Speaker 1: didn't even come to og start he joined the team,
- 49:32Speaker 1: and I think that there would be enough time. You know,
- 49:35Speaker 1: this is not a new offense, this is not new terminology.
- 49:38Speaker 1: I think he would be fine. I think he'll be
- 49:39Speaker 1: in shape and he'll be ready to go. So you know,
- 49:41Speaker 1: he's not going to play in any preseason games, whether
- 49:43Speaker 1: he's here or not. So his first action, you know,
- 49:46Speaker 1: in real real game is going to be against Cleveland.
- 49:48Speaker 1: So uh, I think he'll be there, and I think
- 49:50Speaker 1: he'll get back in time where it's not going to
- 49:53Speaker 1: be a big problem.
- 49:55Speaker 3: A gotcha.
- 49:56Speaker 1: I just wonder, good stuff. Good call. Thank you got
- 49:59Speaker 1: the ten calls. You guys were great, and uh I
- 50:03Speaker 1: could hear for the most part. The one guy that
- 50:05Speaker 1: was calling right off the bat, Michael and Bolden Green.
- 50:07Speaker 1: His question was about finally I could figure it out.
- 50:11Speaker 1: His question was about Stefan Gilmore and do you think
- 50:13Speaker 1: Gilmore will be back? He's still a free agent. I
- 50:17Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how eager he is
- 50:21Speaker 1: to sign with someone. You know, he's coming off a
- 50:24Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Should be fine. I think I think the
- 50:26Speaker 1: price tag is probably a little hot. It happens a
- 50:28Speaker 1: lot with these guys. You know, they're they're they're they
- 50:33Speaker 1: want to play football this year. They don't really want
- 50:37Speaker 1: to go to training camp, and most people don't, so
- 50:39Speaker 1: it's kind of like their price tag is here, Oh
- 50:41Speaker 1: you want me to come, You want me to sign
- 50:42Speaker 1: right now and go to camp. This is my price tag.
- 50:45Speaker 1: It'll probably go down a little bit when you know
- 50:47Speaker 1: that that's what it takes to get you to camp.
- 50:49Speaker 1: I would imagine Gilmour is He's not the only one
- 50:52Speaker 1: that are kind of in that boat. So no big,
- 50:54Speaker 1: no big deal. I don't think he'll be here though
- 50:57Speaker 1: I really don't. I think that the Cowboys feel like
- 50:59Speaker 1: they've got Diggs is getting back in at Bland. They
- 51:02Speaker 1: got Bland, of course, Jordan Lewis, Cayln Carson looks pretty good. Na,
- 51:07Speaker 1: Shaun Wright's having some good moments here and there. I
- 51:09Speaker 1: want to see the Shawn Wright in the game. That's
- 51:11Speaker 1: one guy I really would like to see and see
- 51:13Speaker 1: play well. But that's that'll do it for this show here.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Remember we've got Cowboys break coming up here in just
- 51:20Speaker 1: a few minutes, so if you get a chance to
- 51:22Speaker 1: stay with them, they'll be coming to you live. We'll
- 51:25Speaker 1: be back Friday Friday show. Sorry, we have all these
- 51:30Speaker 1: changes here, but we will be here Friday for the
