- 0:12Speaker 1: This He's Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:25Speaker 3: What is up? Good morning, It's Monday, August the fifth.
- 0:29Speaker 3: It's time for another Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick eating here
- 0:31Speaker 3: at Oxenarn, California. Wouldn't be a show if we didn't
- 0:35Speaker 3: have our guys back here doing their work. It was
- 0:37Speaker 3: really quiet and peaceful, Like ten minutes ago. I said
- 0:40Speaker 3: to Chris, well, what's going on. He's like, they're waiting
- 0:43Speaker 3: for you to start. Now that we're started. Now we're
- 0:45Speaker 3: mowing and blowing and going here. Let's go here. Uh,
- 0:49Speaker 3: I have the phone number here. I got the new number.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I got the other one remembered by heart, but hopefully, uh,
- 0:55Speaker 3: you guys are knowing it now. I ever go two
- 0:58Speaker 3: one four, three eight seven one six five nine. That's right,
- 1:04Speaker 3: three eight seven, one six five nine is the number
- 1:07Speaker 3: to call here on Cowboys storyline. Already got a couple
- 1:11Speaker 3: of callers on the line. We talked about a couple
- 1:15Speaker 3: of practices that that we saw all over the last
- 1:17Speaker 3: since we've talked. Last on Thursday was the show I
- 1:22Speaker 3: believe and sorry. We had a good blue white scrimmage
- 1:29Speaker 3: ish type practice on Saturday. It's really more of a practice,
- 1:33Speaker 3: but it was good just to see the physicality of
- 1:37Speaker 3: the team and and the energy that's brought there. I
- 1:40Speaker 3: thought for sure it was Michaeh Parson's best practice. He
- 1:44Speaker 3: was he was really tough to block again. Uh, the
- 1:47Speaker 3: Cowboys were down to their third left tackle, Tyler Geiden
- 1:51Speaker 3: has been out, Uh, just sick. And then Jimmy Doga
- 1:54Speaker 3: did not practice at all, but so awesome. Richards was
- 1:58Speaker 3: the guy there, Tern Steele on the other side. And
- 2:00Speaker 3: but Michael Parsons was doing Michael Parsons things and got
- 2:04Speaker 3: the crowd and it and you know, his body slamming
- 2:07Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs to the ground, which is probably not good
- 2:10Speaker 3: for a guy coming back from acl but it was.
- 2:12Speaker 3: It was playful and it was fun and it was
- 2:14Speaker 3: a good practice here at Oxtarn. All right, let's go
- 2:18Speaker 3: to the phone line. Let's get it started like he
- 2:20Speaker 3: always does. Michael in Colton, California is batting lead off.
- 2:24Speaker 3: What's up?
- 2:26Speaker 4: What's going on? Mister Eatman? And good morning, And I
- 2:29Speaker 4: know you're good, I know you're great. Even once again
- 2:32Speaker 4: you work for the greatest organization and professional sports, so
- 2:36Speaker 4: you gotta be good. Shout out to you and mister
- 2:39Speaker 4: Bean back there. Hey, hey Nick. Okay, so last time
- 2:41Speaker 4: I called, I was talking to you about the defense
- 2:43Speaker 4: and how you know, I think if we get that together,
- 2:45Speaker 4: we can really go deep in the playoffs, right, And
- 2:47Speaker 4: then I hung up and I was listening and I
- 2:50Speaker 4: was like, oh, I wish I would have stayed on
- 2:51Speaker 4: the line, because then you said, well, you know, Dak
- 2:54Speaker 4: Prescott says we got to take it one game at
- 2:56Speaker 4: a time, this and that, and I just want to say,
- 2:58Speaker 4: I got a couple of points if don't mind, but
- 3:00Speaker 4: I just want to say I think all that one
- 3:02Speaker 4: game at a time and this and that is out
- 3:04Speaker 4: the window.
- 3:05Speaker 3: It's a year.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I believe it's year nine for Dak Prescott and we're
- 3:09Speaker 4: beyond that. Look, his his possible career with the Cowboys
- 3:13Speaker 4: is in jepty here because he doesn't even have a contract.
- 3:17Speaker 4: And I believe that's due to the fact that you know,
- 3:19Speaker 4: you're starting to see Steven Stephen Jones his tactic to
- 3:22Speaker 4: take over as far as management, and I think he's
- 3:25Speaker 4: more like he wants to see results. I'm not trying
- 3:27Speaker 4: to hear. And when I say I mean Steven, I
- 3:30Speaker 4: believe that he's more like, I'm not trying to hear.
- 3:32Speaker 4: You know, all you guys did great during the regular season,
- 3:34Speaker 4: because if the regular season had a championship, then hey,
- 3:37Speaker 4: where's my shirt? You know what I mean? I would
- 3:39Speaker 4: be rocking that shirt, mister Eatman. And I just think that,
- 3:42Speaker 4: you know it, that's what it's all about at this
- 3:44Speaker 4: point in his career. I mean, I think nobody, nobody
- 3:47Speaker 4: could take that, you know from Dak. He's a great
- 3:49Speaker 4: preseason quarterback. He puts up numbers, he's exciting to watch,
- 3:53Speaker 4: all this and that, but it's the playoffs where it matters,
- 3:56Speaker 4: you know. And another thing, I really hope we can
- 3:59Speaker 4: get that run game together and that would be pretty
- 4:02Speaker 4: awesome to see, you know, if they made some kind
- 4:04Speaker 4: of move to bring in some kind of you know,
- 4:05Speaker 4: running back.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Let me catch you off on the running back stuff,
- 4:08Speaker 3: because I'm going to ask you. So you're you're saying,
- 4:10Speaker 3: don't sign Dak is what you're saying that like right now,
- 4:13Speaker 3: you're saying, just wait till February, see what happens. Sign him.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Then no, no, no, sir. I don't. I think they
- 4:19Speaker 4: they should lock him up. And I know that may
- 4:21Speaker 4: sound hypocritical because I've been on the on the other
- 4:23Speaker 4: side saying, you know, I don't know if he can
- 4:25Speaker 4: get it done in the playoffs, but I think it
- 4:27Speaker 4: would just be stupid to just slid out let him walk,
- 4:29Speaker 4: you know, because he is a good quarterback. I'm not
- 4:32Speaker 4: I'm not just shooting that, and I think that would
- 4:34Speaker 4: be the smart business move to make. But what I'm
- 4:36Speaker 4: saying is I believe that Stephen Jones is more like
- 4:39Speaker 4: taking the position where he's kind of running things and
- 4:42Speaker 4: has a heavy influence on what's going on. And I'm
- 4:44Speaker 4: to me, that's what it's looking like. I could be wrong.
- 4:47Speaker 4: I don't speak for the man. That's what it's kind
- 4:48Speaker 4: of looking like to me.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think what it looks like is
- 4:54Speaker 3: is these other quarterbacks are signing and it's just like
- 4:57Speaker 3: it's going to be his turn. And I don't think
- 4:59Speaker 3: it matters what happens in the playoffs and stuff like
- 5:02Speaker 3: that as far as the contract, as far as is
- 5:05Speaker 3: he will get paid uh fairly. I think you're seeing
- 5:08Speaker 3: what what Tua got, what Trevor Lawrence got, and and
- 5:11Speaker 3: it'll He'll fall in line with that as well. And
- 5:14Speaker 3: so you know, I don't think it's gonna come down
- 5:16Speaker 3: to playoff success or not. I know, for a fan,
- 5:20Speaker 3: you know, like yourself.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Yeah, but I.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Think why would it? I mean I I because because
- 5:28Speaker 3: the decisions aren't made, then the decisions aren't made. The
- 5:31Speaker 3: decisions are made right now, and there's a lot that
- 5:34Speaker 3: that's played into it.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Because but let me ask you something, Nikka, if you
- 5:37Speaker 4: don't mine, Okay, you you said, why would it? So
- 5:40Speaker 4: are you happy with going twelve and four every year
- 5:43Speaker 4: twelve and five and then getting eliminated in the playoffs?
- 5:45Speaker 4: Don't you want champions? I mean, look at the Giants.
- 5:48Speaker 4: They went on runs. They were a wildcard.
- 5:49Speaker 5: I remember the year.
- 5:50Speaker 4: When when Eli Manning took him and they beat the
- 5:52Speaker 4: undefeated Patriots. That was awesome, man because in mid season
- 5:56Speaker 4: it didn't even look like they were going to make
- 5:58Speaker 4: the playoffs. But when when it they went on that
- 6:01Speaker 4: run and that was awesome. And at the end of
- 6:03Speaker 4: the day, screw the Giants. Please excuse me, but I
- 6:06Speaker 4: mean stuff like that. I'm trying to see my Cowboys
- 6:08Speaker 4: win a super Bowl, you know what I mean, Like Okay,
- 6:11Speaker 4: regular season don't matter to me. It does, but it's like,
- 6:13Speaker 4: come on, this went from super bowls year.
- 6:15Speaker 3: You know, Okay, I appreciate that. I couldn't disagree with
- 6:21Speaker 3: you more honestly on that. I mean, I agree with
- 6:25Speaker 3: you on the super Bowl part of me. Yeah, that
- 6:26Speaker 3: that's the thing. But like, respectfully, why are you calling
- 6:31Speaker 3: on August the fifth? You know, if the regular season
- 6:34Speaker 3: doesn't matter, why why are we calling? Why are we
- 6:36Speaker 3: doing this? Why are we getting up early? It's eight
- 6:37Speaker 3: o'clock your time, it's eight o'clock here, or why are
- 6:39Speaker 3: we doing this? I mean, it's football season. You just
- 6:42Speaker 3: said you're excited all this stuff. It's a new year.
- 6:45Speaker 3: That's that's what we do, that's what that's the cycle
- 6:48Speaker 3: of being a football fan, a Cowboys fan, is that
- 6:52Speaker 3: this is the time for hope. And to say that
- 6:55Speaker 3: the regular season doesn't matter, that's ridiculous. Nobody in the
- 6:58Speaker 3: world has ever won the Super Bowl with a crappy
- 7:02Speaker 3: regular season. It has not happened. It's never happened. You've
- 7:06Speaker 3: got to get here, You've got to take the steps.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Don't sit here and say one game at a time. Whatever.
- 7:11Speaker 3: If that's the case, are you done with Christmas shopping?
- 7:13Speaker 3: Are you done with everything? Have you figured out Thanksgiving?
- 7:16Speaker 3: Have you done everything? Because that's that's what you know,
- 7:19Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like to you. You're fast forward
- 7:20Speaker 3: and way ahead to everything. It's it's training camp, training
- 7:24Speaker 3: can't practice here a Saturday practice, let's talk about it.
- 7:28Speaker 3: I feel sorry for the fans that say, I can't
- 7:31Speaker 3: the regular season doesn't matter, it matters, it matters, or
- 7:34Speaker 3: you're not gonna get there, so you've you've got to
- 7:37Speaker 3: get there, and that just it makes no sense to me,
- 7:39Speaker 3: And it's just kind of frustrating because I know you
- 7:43Speaker 3: guys know that you you know that you can't say
- 7:47Speaker 3: nothing matters but the but the playoffs because you keep
- 7:51Speaker 3: thinking like that and they won't make it. Two thousand
- 7:54Speaker 3: and seven, two thousand and eight, just think about that.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I mean, two thousand and seven, great season, they got eliminated,
- 7:59Speaker 3: and then next or two thousand eighty they didn't make
- 8:01Speaker 3: the playoffs. They were thinking so much about what they
- 8:04Speaker 3: were going to do there that they didn't make it.
- 8:05Speaker 3: You can't focus like that, So I'm sorry. I mean,
- 8:08Speaker 3: everybody's got their own opinion, but that one, to me
- 8:11Speaker 3: just seems weird because you you've this is the time
- 8:14Speaker 3: where they've got to get this thing turned around and
- 8:17Speaker 3: you can't be talking about playoffs. And if they don't
- 8:20Speaker 3: fix a lot of things that they've got going on here,
- 8:23Speaker 3: this is going to be a tough grind to get there.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I think the expectations need to be lowered a little bit,
- 8:27Speaker 3: all right, Brian in Kansas City's next.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Good morning, sir.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Hey Brian, how are you good? How are you all right?
- 8:37Speaker 5: I'm doing good?
- 8:38Speaker 6: Man, doing good.
- 8:38Speaker 7: Still on summer break, so enjoying that. Beamer says, your kids.
- 8:42Speaker 7: The kids in Texas go back to school next week,
- 8:45Speaker 7: so I got two.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Weeks still, all right? What's up?
- 8:50Speaker 7: Well, you know, I'm going to stay away from the
- 8:52Speaker 7: contract talk. Is nothing I can do about it. But
- 8:57Speaker 7: you know, in listening and watching the various shows and
- 9:02Speaker 7: some of the reporters that go out there and spend
- 9:05Speaker 7: time out there, I have to say I'm really happy
- 9:08Speaker 7: with what I've heard and seen, you know, some of
- 9:11Speaker 7: the more post videos for us and stuff from a
- 9:16Speaker 7: bunch of the different teams on the groups within the team,
- 9:21Speaker 7: with the defensive backs, the linebackers, the wide receivers. Knowing
- 9:28Speaker 7: that CD is not there, but there's a ton of
- 9:29Speaker 7: other people stepping up.
- 9:31Speaker 5: The tight end room seems really deep. So I've gotten witches,
- 9:38Speaker 5: and I say only and the running back room. I've
- 9:44Speaker 5: gotten to the point now and listening to an awful.
- 9:47Speaker 7: Lot of people who say they've watched the defensive tackles,
- 9:52Speaker 7: and two of them who said they've watched and listened
- 9:55Speaker 7: to them being coached have said that these are guys
- 9:59Speaker 7: who are you know, this is what for maybe the
- 10:05Speaker 7: third best defensive tackle on the team or one TECH
- 10:09Speaker 7: on the team. And so I've gotten to the point
- 10:12Speaker 7: where I think maybe the one tech that we're going
- 10:14Speaker 7: to go into the season.
- 10:15Speaker 5: With is not on the team right now. It's just
- 10:17Speaker 5: a thought.
- 10:18Speaker 7: And then for my old timer, if you have a story,
- 10:22Speaker 7: this is a little bit. This is a little before
- 10:24Speaker 7: your time. But maybe he's hung around the organization in
- 10:26Speaker 7: some way. I was watching the old ninety what.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Was that That would have been January ninety four, the
- 10:35Speaker 5: game DM game.
- 10:36Speaker 7: Where they go, you know, they're they're playing the Giants
- 10:38Speaker 7: in the Meadowlands for first place. Yeah, I was watching
- 10:44Speaker 7: that and just a player I had totally forgotten about
- 10:47Speaker 7: his backup who had to go into the game a
- 10:48Speaker 7: bunch of times when he was coming out to take
- 10:50Speaker 7: a breather. Lincoln Coleman, if you happen to have a
- 10:52Speaker 7: story about him, and I'll.
- 10:54Speaker 5: Hang up and listen.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Brother, all right, thanks Brian. Defensive tackle. I mean, I
- 11:00Speaker 3: hope the one technique is here. I mean, because that's
- 11:04Speaker 3: not a great position to to to just kind of
- 11:08Speaker 3: throw in it. You know, there's been a lot of
- 11:10Speaker 3: talk about them going to sign someone. I know Linval
- 11:14Speaker 3: Joseph is out there and there's been some some discussions there. Uh,
- 11:17Speaker 3: he's got the ties to to Mike Zimmer, so that
- 11:20Speaker 3: that could be the case. But you know, if if
- 11:23Speaker 3: they decide if he if he wants to play football.
- 11:25Speaker 3: But I I still think that that you know, it's
- 11:30Speaker 3: it looks like it's going to be you know, oh
- 11:33Speaker 3: sad and Mazzi is your defensive tackles and and that's
- 11:36Speaker 3: that's the way it's shaping up right now. If they
- 11:40Speaker 3: bring it some you know, some veteran help in there,
- 11:42Speaker 3: that'd be great and it'll still be a rotation, uh
- 11:45Speaker 3: for them. But but uh, you know, I think Mazzie's
- 11:47Speaker 3: looked pretty good from what we've seen he's he's he's
- 11:51Speaker 3: still a little bit inconsistent there. He just needs to
- 11:53Speaker 3: play more. And that's it's tough to do that right now.
- 11:56Speaker 3: You know that they're not giving a lot of reps
- 11:59Speaker 3: for the defensive ackles, for the for the O line,
- 12:02Speaker 3: D line, you know, and he he he flashes, he
- 12:05Speaker 3: has his moments. He's gonna but he's gonna get every
- 12:08Speaker 3: opportunity to to to play as much as possible. I
- 12:11Speaker 3: don't have a Lincoln Coleman story, really, I don't. I mean,
- 12:15Speaker 3: he was kind of flash in the pan there a
- 12:18Speaker 3: little bit played some and that that Thanksgiving Day game
- 12:21Speaker 3: with the snow. But that's about it that I've that
- 12:24Speaker 3: I've that I heard from from Lincoln Coleman. He he
- 12:27Speaker 3: didn't do a lot. He was a big, big, bruising
- 12:30Speaker 3: running back, you know. But when you're when you're backing
- 12:33Speaker 3: up in and you're not getting a lot of reps.
- 12:35Speaker 3: All right, let's try Rick in Massachusetts. See how he's doing.
- 12:43Speaker 3: All right? Rick O three? All right, let's move it.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Move on. Let's go to Dylan. Is he ready? Dylan
- 12:51Speaker 3: in Northport? Floor, Hey, I'm here, how you doing? All right?
- 12:57Speaker 3: We got a little bit of.
- 12:58Speaker 8: A hurricane going on down here. But everything's all good.
- 13:01Speaker 8: I hope there's no tree spitting on you today.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Yeah over there.
- 13:08Speaker 8: Yeah, no good here. I'll go wee in the back.
- 13:10Speaker 8: I know that it's no big guild of some lightning
- 13:12Speaker 8: and stuff, no big.
- 13:16Speaker 5: You know.
- 13:16Speaker 8: Look at the schedule man and uh the first caller
- 13:19Speaker 8: there talking about the you know, kind of not really
- 13:23Speaker 8: want to gott in the ride until the playoffs start.
- 13:25Speaker 9: I don't.
- 13:25Speaker 8: I'm thirty uh oh of my thirty two. I'll be
- 13:28Speaker 8: thirty three tomorrow. And I haven't uh, I haven't seen
- 13:32Speaker 8: a super Bowl. Like, I don't know anything else other
- 13:34Speaker 8: than just the ride. And it's funny seeing the pattern
- 13:37Speaker 8: every year where it's like we get disappointed come playoff time.
- 13:42Speaker 8: It's just my whole life is done that way, and
- 13:44Speaker 8: it sucks. And then we get sucked back in in
- 13:46Speaker 8: the draft, and then we get sucked back and even
- 13:48Speaker 8: more in training camp, and then by the time Week
- 13:51Speaker 8: one starts and everybody's pumps and the same people that
- 13:54Speaker 8: kind of complain about, well, let's just wait for the postseason,
- 13:56Speaker 8: wait for the postseason. A why does don't get why
- 13:58Speaker 8: you're even watching it? I don't get while you're posting
- 14:00Speaker 8: on Twitter, don't get while you're calling in. And I'm
- 14:03Speaker 8: not trying to tell anybody how to be a fan,
- 14:04Speaker 8: because I'm everybody can be a fan. That's the way
- 14:06Speaker 8: if they want to be a fan. But uh, you know,
- 14:09Speaker 8: I think the enjoyment and part of being a fan
- 14:12Speaker 8: is just being on a ride, man, and just going
- 14:14Speaker 8: along with it, you know. So it's just I wasn't
- 14:17Speaker 8: gonna call in today, but I just felt like, you know,
- 14:21Speaker 8: I won't say it irk me a little bit, but
- 14:22Speaker 8: it kind of got me going a little bit. And uh,
- 14:25Speaker 8: you know, I'm grateful if the Cowboys are here. I'm
- 14:27Speaker 8: grateful I get to enjoy at least sixteen seventeen games
- 14:29Speaker 8: a year, and I'm grateful that we're a competitor every
- 14:32Speaker 8: year and we get to the postseason and you know,
- 14:34Speaker 8: there's hope for the best and maybe one of these
- 14:35Speaker 8: years it'll all quit together.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Right, But yeah, you're you're right. And the first caller
- 14:41Speaker 3: asked that, are you okay with being twelve and five
- 14:44Speaker 3: and you know, getting knocked out of the playoffs. No
- 14:48Speaker 3: one's okay getting knocked out of the playoffs, But I'm
- 14:51Speaker 3: okay with twelve and five. I mean, I'm you got
- 14:54Speaker 3: to you gotta get you know, you got to get
- 14:56Speaker 3: to the dance. I mean that you have to. So
- 14:59Speaker 3: that's that's the one saying that that it's it's funny
- 15:01Speaker 3: and I get people that that that will argue with me,
- 15:04Speaker 3: just just casual fans that you're like, you know, you know,
- 15:07Speaker 3: I said last year was it was a good season
- 15:09Speaker 3: there for a little bit, and people don't think that
- 15:11Speaker 3: it is. And so you know, everybody's got their their
- 15:14Speaker 3: their opinion. But you know, my expert, it's not it's
- 15:19Speaker 3: not easy. No, go look at.
- 15:21Speaker 8: Some of the greatest quarterbacks. Go look at some of
- 15:23Speaker 8: the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Like, okay, current want
- 15:25Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers. He's one of the goats, right, He's got
- 15:28Speaker 8: one super Bowl ring Like these guys, you just gotta
- 15:30Speaker 8: stay competitive every year, every year, stay competitive, and eventually,
- 15:34Speaker 8: hopefully it will cook together for you and maybe you'll
- 15:37Speaker 8: get one Super Bowl from a great quarterback. I mean,
- 15:39Speaker 8: it's just and it's the same for a lot of
- 15:41Speaker 8: quarterbacks stout history and a lot of teams stout history.

- 17:26Speaker 3: I joined. It was kind of fun, so all right,
- 17:28Speaker 3: and happy birthday tomorrow. I think if that's what you heard,
- 17:31Speaker 3: I'm I'm I hear the moors, I hear I hear
- 17:34Speaker 3: like fifty percent of the conversation. But I thought I
- 17:37Speaker 3: heard a birthday all right, Bob and Rio Grand Valley.
- 17:40Speaker 3: What's up, hey, Nick?
- 17:42Speaker 11: How you doing?
- 17:42Speaker 3: By good man? How are you?
- 17:44Speaker 11: I'll tell you what, I'm very very optimistic at that
- 17:47Speaker 11: I've been following what's going on in campus from this
- 17:51Speaker 11: distance down here in the valley, uh huh and uh,
- 17:55Speaker 11: basing my opinions upon some of the shows that I've
- 17:59Speaker 11: seen that are showing the paddy practices and what's going
- 18:02Speaker 11: on the thing I'm most optimistic about. I should say
- 18:09Speaker 11: the reason why I'm very optimistic about this coming season
- 18:13Speaker 11: is because of the depth that we have in all
- 18:16Speaker 11: the rooms. It seems to me that we've got We've
- 18:20Speaker 11: drafted the last few years and put ourselves in a
- 18:23Speaker 11: position of being very well rounded, even covering unexpected injury
- 18:30Speaker 11: like we had the Sam Williams. I think this king
- 18:33Speaker 11: is gonna step in and do the job. You've seen
- 18:37Speaker 11: the Patty practices out there live and firsthand. What what's
- 18:41Speaker 11: your impression of what we've got so far this year?
- 18:46Speaker 3: All right, Bob, I appreciate the call. I'll answer that
- 18:51Speaker 3: before I go to break here. You know, there's there's
- 18:55Speaker 3: depth at some positions and there's other ones that that
- 18:58Speaker 3: I think are are still kind of up for debate.
- 19:01Speaker 3: You know, anytime you have positions that are that are
- 19:04Speaker 3: open for competition, that's gonna test the depth some somewhat.
- 19:10Speaker 3: I still running backs to one position that that I'm
- 19:13Speaker 3: kind of a little bit worried about. Not sure how
- 19:16Speaker 3: that's all gonna play out. But what I do like
- 19:18Speaker 3: is I like the offensive line depth that I see. Uh,
- 19:22Speaker 3: we'll see that in the game. If if that, you know,
- 19:25Speaker 3: if if that's really the case. But it's hard to function, uh,
- 19:29Speaker 3: your offense if you're if you're not having anybody that
- 19:31Speaker 3: can block and and and you you've got some second, third,
- 19:34Speaker 3: fourth year guys as backups that that should be able
- 19:38Speaker 3: to kind of help with that with that old line.
- 19:40Speaker 3: So I like I like that part. The receivers are
- 19:44Speaker 3: kind of showing their depth right now. I think the
- 19:47Speaker 3: tight ends have have a lot of depth as well.
- 19:51Speaker 3: And you flip to defense, linebacker looks to be a
- 19:53Speaker 3: lot better than it was. Defensive end was that was
- 19:56Speaker 3: tough with Sam Williams. But but you know, overall, cornerback
- 20:00Speaker 3: depth is kind of iffy just because you're not seeing
- 20:04Speaker 3: tray Von out there. But but overall, I I agree
- 20:08Speaker 3: with you. I still think there there's a lot of
- 20:09Speaker 3: good football players on the team. But we'll we'll find out.
- 20:13Speaker 3: Preseason game is really where you see where your depth is,
- 20:15Speaker 3: because you know most of your starters are just wiped
- 20:18Speaker 3: off the front, they're not even gonna play. Then you
- 20:20Speaker 3: see second, third, fourth teamers as the game goes on,
- 20:23Speaker 3: and you have to compare it with the rams depth
- 20:26Speaker 3: and and and and what that looks like. So either way,
- 20:29Speaker 3: it'll be it'll be fun to see. I think these
- 20:31Speaker 3: will be the most entertaining preseason games that I can
- 20:34Speaker 3: remember in a while. New kickoff rules. You're a quarterback,
- 20:37Speaker 3: you want to see a lot with with with Trey Alance.
- 20:40Speaker 3: So we'll see. All right, we're taking a break here
- 20:44Speaker 3: one recall. We're gonna go take a call before we
- 20:46Speaker 3: take a break. Hose in Houston.
- 20:50Speaker 8: How you doing, service, Nick?
- 20:51Speaker 3: I'm good. What's up?
- 20:53Speaker 8: Hey?
- 20:53Speaker 10: Man?
- 20:53Speaker 2: How's the weather over there in Caddy Tree?
- 20:55Speaker 5: And you, bro?
- 20:55Speaker 3: Well, long sleeves, long sleeves, a little cool this morning? Yeah,
- 21:01Speaker 3: I'm not. I haven't. I won't say I've seen my breath,
- 21:03Speaker 3: but uh okay, okay, it's chili, and I know I
- 21:06Speaker 3: would imagine you and Houston probably is not the same.
- 21:11Speaker 9: Yeah, man, it's just just you know what it is.
- 21:12Speaker 9: That's why I'll leave Texans to go practice over there,
- 21:15Speaker 9: Golden over there.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Hey. Do you know what Dak says before every snap?
- 21:20Speaker 3: Here we go, here we go, there we go the
- 21:22Speaker 3: first time the fall. So that's that's the best I
- 21:24Speaker 3: could do. It's the best I could do is give
- 21:26Speaker 3: you from out here. What's up?
- 21:28Speaker 5: Man?
- 21:29Speaker 11: Man?
- 21:29Speaker 3: I love it?
- 21:30Speaker 9: A bro I got a question, man, Uh you know
- 21:33Speaker 9: how Trey Lance cost us the fourth rounder?
- 21:35Speaker 3: And uh, you know, uh.
- 21:37Speaker 9: I'm just I'm just curious, man. I mean, I'm thinking
- 21:39Speaker 9: that fourth rounder, we might have picked up a running back,
- 21:41Speaker 9: you know, help us out, because you know, I'm not saying,
- 21:43Speaker 9: you know, I love Zeke, I love you, man, But
- 21:46Speaker 9: you know, how's he looking out there? How's Eke looking
- 21:48Speaker 9: out there? You know, I imagine he's going to be
- 21:50Speaker 9: the starter.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably going to be the starter, I would imagine.
- 21:54Speaker 3: And he looks, you know, like an older Zeke. I mean,
- 21:59Speaker 3: it's it's what what he does is not going to
- 22:02Speaker 3: be flashy really as much anymore. And that's and that's
- 22:05Speaker 3: why I still feel like they've got to get a
- 22:07Speaker 3: little juice somewhere. And I don't know if fre Go
- 22:10Speaker 3: is the guy to do that. I don't know what
- 22:12Speaker 3: what if there's a running back on another team, but
- 22:16Speaker 3: I still just don't feel like it's completed here. I don't.
- 22:19Speaker 3: And uh and and and Zeke will will He does
- 22:22Speaker 3: the dirty work stuff, so you're not gonna see that
- 22:25Speaker 3: out here. That's why he's not looking amazing or anything
- 22:27Speaker 3: like that. But but you know, most backs don't. Honestly,
- 22:31Speaker 3: most backs don't look amazing uh out in practice. I mean,
- 22:35Speaker 3: you're you. What makes you a great back is the
- 22:38Speaker 3: fact that you can take contact and go still go
- 22:41Speaker 3: four or five six yards out here. As soon as
- 22:43Speaker 3: they get close and the guy touches them, it's like, okay,
- 22:45Speaker 3: you're down. When we all know that the big you know,
- 22:48Speaker 3: run running backs, especially the backs like Zeke still got
- 22:52Speaker 3: three to four or five yards after that, And that's
- 22:54Speaker 3: what makes a good back. That's the stuff you just
- 22:56Speaker 3: don't see out here.
- 22:58Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true that when the one the past come
- 23:00Speaker 9: on and I imagine he's not going to get a
- 23:02Speaker 9: lot of playing time in the preseason, so we want to.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Know until that first ready to go.
- 23:07Speaker 2: I take you part of the question, mister nick.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Uh So, Like as far as I said, I think
- 23:11Speaker 4: we would.
- 23:12Speaker 9: Have picked up a running back with that fourth pick.
- 23:13Speaker 9: I know the maybe I might be wrong, correct if
- 23:16Speaker 9: you're wrong that that guy from Michigan, Blake Korum or
- 23:18Speaker 9: something like that, wasn't he around there on the fourth
- 23:21Speaker 9: pick that that we gave up for Lance, Yeah, maybe
- 23:25Speaker 9: I think maybe he would have fit in.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:27Speaker 9: So I'm just saying that Trey Lance. How's he looking
- 23:30Speaker 9: out to you? And I'm gonna be watching him his preseason.
- 23:32Speaker 9: But hopefully we get a return on that fourth pick,
- 23:34Speaker 9: you know, that fourth rounder.
- 23:35Speaker 3: But we'll see. Yeah, you never know, you could have
- 23:39Speaker 3: got thanks for the call. You know, you could have
- 23:41Speaker 3: gotten the running back. You could have gotten a Jake Ferguson,
- 23:44Speaker 3: he was in the fourth round. You could have got
- 23:47Speaker 3: Junior for Hoko he was in fourth round. Could have
- 23:51Speaker 3: got Charles Tafford, just saying, fourth round. You never know
- 23:57Speaker 3: what you're gonna get there, And he could have got
- 23:59Speaker 3: Dak pressed. I mean, so I would You can't worry
- 24:03Speaker 3: about that, you really, you can't. The cowboys that you know,
- 24:06Speaker 3: thought that they were gonna get a guy that you
- 24:09Speaker 3: know they could get some value for. And it's not
- 24:11Speaker 3: over yet. But you know, let's see what happens when
- 24:13Speaker 3: the game comes on, because I promise you twenty sixteen,
- 24:16Speaker 3: I don't know if we were saying the same about Dak,
- 24:18Speaker 3: but he wasn't having the greatest practices. Not a great
- 24:21Speaker 3: comparison because this is Lance's fourth season, but still, you know,
- 24:25Speaker 3: it doesn't look great out here all the time. But
- 24:28Speaker 3: I think he'll play well. In the games. But I
- 24:31Speaker 3: want to see him make these throws. It's the throws.
- 24:33Speaker 3: He's gonna run around and probably make some plays with
- 24:35Speaker 3: his legs. I want to see what he does with
- 24:36Speaker 3: the throws. Let's take a break here on cowboy storyline.

- 25:55Speaker 3: I got the point from Chris. I don't hear anything.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I just see thumbs up. We're good to go. All right,
- 26:02Speaker 3: let's let's get get it rolling. Here. We've got We've
- 26:05Speaker 3: had five callers so far. We tried to get six that.
- 26:09Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with my man, Rick
- 26:11Speaker 3: in Massachusetts is trying to call hasn't been working out
- 26:14Speaker 3: for him. Hopefully you can get a new line or
- 26:18Speaker 3: if that's the problem. All right, let's get move into
- 26:23Speaker 3: another caller. We got Matt in Daily on Texas.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, how are you doing?
- 26:29Speaker 3: Man? A man? How are you? Is this first time called?
- 26:32Speaker 11: Yes?
- 26:32Speaker 3: First time here we go?
- 26:34Speaker 12: Yes, thank you for that one. So my question just well,
- 26:38Speaker 12: first off, I'm really excited about the season's last for
- 26:40Speaker 12: the coverage. I appreciate what y'all do in every organization
- 26:43Speaker 12: at the Thanks Matt dude giving us content.
- 26:47Speaker 2: But my question is kind of a process thing.
- 26:50Speaker 13: I guess I know Gilmore, he's not on the team
- 26:54Speaker 13: as of yet, but last year he ended the seasons
- 26:58Speaker 13: with an injury, and so my question was, like, how
- 27:01Speaker 13: does it work when a player is like not with
- 27:03Speaker 13: the organization anymore, they get injured, Like.
- 27:06Speaker 12: Who what determines like who does the surgery? You know,
- 27:10Speaker 12: is it like a player organization conversation? And then like
- 27:14Speaker 12: how is rehab determined? And everything like that, And that's
- 27:18Speaker 12: all I had appreciated.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Man, Well, thanks for the call, Matt. That is a
- 27:24Speaker 3: good question, and it's it kind of depends on like
- 27:30Speaker 3: your your contract situation affects affects what happens there. Like
- 27:36Speaker 3: for instance, like Sam Williams, you know he's under contract,
- 27:39Speaker 3: he's gonna have a you gonna have surgery on his
- 27:42Speaker 3: A c L M c L and you know he'll
- 27:45Speaker 3: be rehabbing on all year long. Stuff like that. Guys
- 27:47Speaker 3: that were here, you know, they got hurt. For for Gilmore,
- 27:52Speaker 3: he had a shoulder surgery. Now, of course it happened
- 27:55Speaker 3: when you know, he was playing for the Cowboys, but
- 27:57Speaker 3: he was a free agent. He did not rehab here.
- 28:01Speaker 3: He definitely had you know, he had surgery after the season,
- 28:04Speaker 3: but his rehab was not with the Cowboys, and so
- 28:09Speaker 3: it wasn't something that they you know, monitored all the time.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Didn't come in and necessarily and do that. So that's
- 28:17Speaker 3: what teams are kind of waiting for. They are they're
- 28:20Speaker 3: they're you know, wanted to see, you know, how how
- 28:22Speaker 3: the shoulder checks out. He'll have to pass the physical
- 28:25Speaker 3: if he does sign, you know, for him, he's I
- 28:27Speaker 3: think he's thirty five years old. And he had a
- 28:31Speaker 3: good season. I mean, we know that. And he was
- 28:33Speaker 3: important because when he got hurt, it did change some
- 28:36Speaker 3: things with the Cowboys and how they had to play
- 28:38Speaker 3: that game against the Packers. That injury really was affecting
- 28:42Speaker 3: the team. And I thought he did a nice job
- 28:43Speaker 3: of holding it down, him and Bland both not just
- 28:46Speaker 3: you know, but I still think he was He was
- 28:48Speaker 3: probably your best corner. And even though Bland did what
- 28:51Speaker 3: he did, I still think he was he was the
- 28:55Speaker 3: best corner throughout the year. But to answer your question
- 28:59Speaker 3: about the surgery and injury like that particular shoulder surgery, Uh,
- 29:05Speaker 3: he was a free agent. He did that. He rehabbit
- 29:08Speaker 3: it's at another another place probably you know, closer to
- 29:13Speaker 3: where his where he resides in the hometown. All right,
- 29:18Speaker 3: let's go to uh Lewis and in Langston, Oklahoma.
- 29:23Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 29:25Speaker 3: Not much? How you doing?
- 29:27Speaker 11: Not bad?
- 29:28Speaker 2: Not bad out at work with this heat? That's all
- 29:31Speaker 2: it is.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Always the heat, yep, for sure, always yeah.
- 29:36Speaker 14: You you you probably got on like a long sleeve
- 29:38Speaker 14: old hoodie right now.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Don't don't.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Don't do me like that.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Yep, yep, long sleeve, not a hoodie. But uh, hey man,
- 29:48Speaker 3: it gets like eighty and the you know, in the
- 29:51Speaker 3: uh in the hot summertime here at like two or
- 29:54Speaker 3: three o'clock. So you know this these sleevesy, what happens
- 29:57Speaker 3: is I gotta take this lead. I gotta roll it up,
- 30:00Speaker 3: you know, and then and then it's a bunch right here,
- 30:03Speaker 3: you know what I mean? With the guns are so
- 30:05Speaker 3: it's just films here, you know it.
- 30:09Speaker 2: So you break it, so you break a little bit
- 30:10Speaker 2: of a play. Is that what you're telling me?
- 30:12Speaker 3: Your little you know? I mean, you got to make
- 30:14Speaker 3: that decision or like it new? You know, do you
- 30:16Speaker 3: take the pull the pullover? Do you tie around your
- 30:19Speaker 3: waist like it's nineteen eighty eight? You know, do you
- 30:22Speaker 3: do that? Or do you just leave it over here?
- 30:24Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we got problems here, you know,
- 30:26Speaker 3: I can only have to show it sounds like the
- 30:29Speaker 3: mowers right behind me. But he's not. He's I mean,
- 30:32Speaker 3: he's coming, He's coming over here, Claiveborn.
- 30:35Speaker 2: He's so con sorried about it.
- 30:37Speaker 3: It just sounds so heart working, so heart breaking, honestly,
- 30:41Speaker 3: like it is so much louder in my headphones than
- 30:44Speaker 3: it is anywhere else.
- 30:48Speaker 2: I could hear it.
- 30:50Speaker 11: All.
- 30:51Speaker 3: We'll stop talking about it. Then, it's not just like
- 30:53Speaker 3: the playoffs. We'll stop talking about it. We'll stop talking
- 30:54Speaker 3: about the mower. Can't do nothing about that. I can't
- 30:56Speaker 3: do nothing about this guy, can't nothing about contracts. So
- 30:59Speaker 3: let's let's talk about something.
- 31:01Speaker 14: No, no, no, I just was called it. You know,
- 31:04Speaker 14: I didn't get to really watch the whole blueing white scrimmage.
- 31:06Speaker 2: I guess that's what you want to call it, a
- 31:08Speaker 2: glorified practice.
- 31:10Speaker 9: Uh.
- 31:10Speaker 2: And I've seen a couple of throws from Trey Lance.
- 31:12Speaker 2: He looked like he was. Is he becoming like we
- 31:15Speaker 2: did with Dak his rookie year. Is he's more of
- 31:17Speaker 2: a gamer than he is like a practicer.
- 31:20Speaker 3: And we'll see, we will see. But again, this is
- 31:25Speaker 3: his fourth year, like right, I mean to Romo sat
- 31:30Speaker 3: for three years. He played his fourth year and by
- 31:33Speaker 3: Dak's fourth year, he was he started, like you know,
- 31:37Speaker 3: seventy games, So a little difference scenario there. I mean,
- 31:42Speaker 3: you should expect more third overall, pick and and and
- 31:48Speaker 3: I like the guy. He's he's a super super nice guy.
- 31:51Speaker 3: I mean, I really like him. I love his attitude.
- 31:54Speaker 3: But you know, he's not better than Cooper Rush. He's okay,
- 32:00Speaker 3: you watch him throw the ball. He is not better
- 32:02Speaker 3: than Cooper Rushing. And can he run faster?
- 32:06Speaker 9: Sure?
- 32:06Speaker 3: Could he lead the offense better? He might, but but
- 32:09Speaker 3: he's not. That's the thing. Like he doesn't he doesn't
- 32:12Speaker 3: drop it in the bucket like like Cooper Rush does.
- 32:14Speaker 3: And I don't even know if you could say Dak
- 32:16Speaker 3: does it as far as like certain throws, deep throws
- 32:19Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Cooper's got his thing. It's gonna
- 32:21Speaker 3: be hard for for him to to to beat him out,
- 32:23Speaker 3: but he's gonna get a lot of opportunities in the preseason.
- 32:27Speaker 14: Yeah, okay, okay, And I'll get off the phone and
- 32:30Speaker 14: let you answer this one. When the preseason game starts,
- 32:33Speaker 14: who you think the starting five offensive lineman.
- 32:36Speaker 15: Is going to be.
- 32:36Speaker 14: Well, I would take that back because I know Zach
- 32:39Speaker 14: Martin's not gonna probably play none in the preseason.
- 32:41Speaker 2: So out outside of Zach Martin and maybe.
- 32:44Speaker 14: Tyler Smith, who would you say the starting five is
- 32:47Speaker 14: gonna be starting those.
- 32:48Speaker 12: First couple of preseason games.
- 32:50Speaker 2: And like I said, I'll talk to you later, but
- 32:52Speaker 2: I listen and let you.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Have it, all right, appreciate it. That's good. That's that's
- 33:00Speaker 3: a really good question. And and and there's a lot
- 33:03Speaker 3: of ways to go with that. I wouldn't be surprised
- 33:06Speaker 3: if Steele doesn't play either, I mean, why you know,
- 33:11Speaker 3: I mean, if if you're not gonna play Zach Martin,
- 33:14Speaker 3: I don't know if Terrence Steele needs needs the reps either.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Hoffman he needs reps. I I I'd like to see him,
- 33:25Speaker 3: but I don't know if you will. I mean I
- 33:27Speaker 3: I it wouldn't It wouldn't shock me if he didn't play.
- 33:31Speaker 3: It wouldn't shock me if he did. He's he's one
- 33:33Speaker 3: of those tweener guys. On as far as starting guiding
- 33:40Speaker 3: it left tackle, probably t J. Bass Hoffman. Awesome, Richard's
- 33:50Speaker 3: been playing at tackle. I'm probably missing another guard here
- 33:55Speaker 3: here myself. All right, let's let's uh, let's keep moving here. Uh,
- 34:02Speaker 3: we're trying this again. Rick, Rick in Massachusetts, are you there?
- 34:13Speaker 16: Yeah?
- 34:15Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Betty had an awesome question Rick about
- 34:21Speaker 3: the there probably about the Red Sox maybe Rick? All right, Hello,
- 34:26Speaker 3: that's Rick's last call into the Cowboys. Rob in Vegas?
- 34:30Speaker 3: Can we go with Rob Hoffman? Rob? Hey? How you doing?
- 34:39Speaker 7: Rob?
- 34:40Speaker 2: I'm good?
- 34:41Speaker 6: How are you?
- 34:42Speaker 3: What's up? What's up?
- 34:45Speaker 4: Man?
- 34:47Speaker 6: You know that that call that I was talking about
- 34:50Speaker 6: the regular season and stuff. I said, I look at
- 34:52Speaker 6: the regular season as like the main course, and the
- 34:57Speaker 6: playoffs is dessert. You I enjoy every weekend, you know,
- 35:03Speaker 6: I look forward to it. And you said it best.
- 35:06Speaker 6: If you sucked during the regular season, you ain't seeing
- 35:08Speaker 6: the playoffs. And Dak For what everybody says about Dak.
- 35:14Speaker 3: You know you're saying if you don't need your food
- 35:17Speaker 3: is like your parent. If you don't eat your food,
- 35:18Speaker 3: you can't get dessert.
- 35:20Speaker 6: That's right. Yeah, I mean listen, if somebody could tell
- 35:24Speaker 6: me who we can replace Dac with that makes us better,
- 35:26Speaker 6: I'm all for it. There's nobody and the way the
- 35:31Speaker 6: team is constructed with a lot of young guys in
- 35:34Speaker 6: their prime, and Dak is probably one of them.
- 35:37Speaker 5: Just roll with it, you know, pay the man.
- 35:40Speaker 6: I'm wondering if that's why they haven't paid CD yet
- 35:44Speaker 6: because they're trying to get DAK done first. Because I
- 35:46Speaker 6: think the CD thing you would think would be the easiest,
- 35:50Speaker 6: you know, you basically look at the Jefferson contract and
- 35:53Speaker 6: match it. And I don't know how Ceedy Lamb would
- 35:56Speaker 6: say no to that. I'm wondering if they would franchise
- 36:01Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb. I mean, I don't know how much that
- 36:05Speaker 6: would be. I bet you i'd be around what twenty
- 36:07Speaker 6: seven million dollars?
- 36:08Speaker 3: You think, Yeah, that number is probably out and I
- 36:11Speaker 3: haven't I haven't necessarily seen that that that that's going
- 36:15Speaker 3: to be dicey if if this fifth year you talk
- 36:17Speaker 3: about a guy that's holding out most of camp here,
- 36:20Speaker 3: you know, putting him on the franchise tag, that that's
- 36:24Speaker 3: that's not going to be I don't think good business
- 36:27Speaker 3: with the team. Could they do it, sure, but I
- 36:30Speaker 3: don't think that's the right thing to do. And I
- 36:33Speaker 3: don't think anybody wants to head down that road.
- 36:36Speaker 6: So oh no, it's definitely, but it's possible.
- 36:39Speaker 3: It's possible, and it's something that they probably use leverage
- 36:42Speaker 3: wise to say this is what they could do.
- 36:47Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I thought the deal would be done
- 36:50Speaker 6: by now. I probably probably all did. But I think
- 36:53Speaker 6: after the first preseason game, Yeah, I one of these
- 36:58Speaker 6: guys has to get done. And I think I think that,
- 37:02Speaker 6: you know, probably should be the first.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I think on.
- 37:07Speaker 6: Tyler guyon, Uh what does he gotta you know, because
- 37:10Speaker 6: he looked great and now all of a sudden, unfortunately
- 37:12Speaker 6: he's missing some time. What's what's the issue with him?
- 37:16Speaker 6: He's is he going to practice today?
- 37:20Speaker 3: Uh? Probably, I mean I don't think he was it
- 37:23Speaker 3: was a major illness or anything like that. So I
- 37:27Speaker 3: think he's he's you know, this is the time of year.
- 37:29Speaker 3: He doesn't take much to keep keep guys out. You know,
- 37:32Speaker 3: if you're sick, you're out. If you if you if
- 37:34Speaker 3: you're bad tightens up like Eric Kendricks, you're you're out
- 37:36Speaker 3: for a little bit. I mean, it's just it's just
- 37:38Speaker 3: not the time to push it. It doesn't matter who
- 37:40Speaker 3: you are on the roster. It's it's just there's too
- 37:43Speaker 3: much at stake not to you know, to keep these
- 37:46Speaker 3: guys healthy. So, uh yeah, that's that's pretty much where
- 37:49Speaker 3: where they are.
- 37:50Speaker 6: So what did you think of that kickoff rule in
- 37:54Speaker 6: the in that preseason game.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I only saw a little bit of it. Hall of
- 38:00Speaker 3: Fame games are not fun to watch, whether or not
- 38:02Speaker 3: you're sitting in Canton or you're not, so I just
- 38:05Speaker 3: didn't I didn't watch. It was five o'clock out here, too,
- 38:07Speaker 3: so I missed it. I saw some of the highlights.
- 38:10Speaker 3: It's going to look weird. It's just gonna be weird.
- 38:12Speaker 3: But it didn't seem like it changed a whole lot.
- 38:14Speaker 3: But then this is not the time to see that.
- 38:16Speaker 3: It's it's still gonna be very vanilla for for what
- 38:19Speaker 3: I think. Uh, we're gonna see and and it's gonna
- 38:22Speaker 3: be fun. I'm I'm for it, And at least for
- 38:25Speaker 3: this year. Let's just see what happens. But I'm I'm
- 38:27Speaker 3: I'm for it. It's definitely gonna be a unique play.
- 38:30Speaker 6: So all right, that was one of the best preseason games.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't see it, but I'm yeah, I'm sure football.
- 38:38Speaker 3: It means football is back though, for sure. Right here
- 38:41Speaker 3: we go, all right, Rob, here we go. All right,

- 40:51Speaker 3: let's get going here. We got another caller on the line,
- 40:54Speaker 3: Josh in Chicago. Josh, what's up? Man?
- 40:58Speaker 8: Hey?
- 40:59Speaker 16: Nick? How you being good?
- 41:00Speaker 3: What's up? Good?
- 41:02Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 41:02Speaker 16: Been today's most people my lucky day. I've been trying
- 41:04Speaker 16: to call him the past couple of weeks. I called once,
- 41:07Speaker 16: tuned in a little bit late, called once and got
- 41:09Speaker 16: right in.
- 41:09Speaker 3: So lucky you figured it out, I mean once right
- 41:13Speaker 3: after the callers boom.
- 41:16Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly, you hit it. So just have a point
- 41:20Speaker 16: to make really quick. And then I got a question
- 41:21Speaker 16: for you. But the point I just want to make
- 41:24Speaker 16: you know. I'm I'm a criminal defense attorney. I'm not
- 41:27Speaker 16: I'm not a contracts guy, and I know a lot
- 41:28Speaker 16: of people are upset about the contracts. I know you
- 41:30Speaker 16: talked about it last Tuesday, but I think people that
- 41:33Speaker 16: need to remember that these aren't just you know, term
- 41:35Speaker 16: of years, three years for X amount of dollars type
- 41:38Speaker 16: of contracts. These are you know, almost a business between
- 41:42Speaker 16: a business type of contract with these players, and started
- 41:44Speaker 16: talking about guaranteed money with options with different clauses like
- 41:48Speaker 16: no trade clause or no franchise tag clause. These things
- 41:50Speaker 16: can take time, they can become complicated. So I think
- 41:53Speaker 16: people just need to take breath with these contracts, especially
- 41:57Speaker 16: for CD and Dak. Dak's still here, right, He's still playing,
- 42:00Speaker 16: He's still on a contract, and hopefully Seed gets done.
- 42:02Speaker 3: So I'm with you on that, and I think that's
- 42:08Speaker 3: a very pro team stance. But I'll say this, CD
- 42:14Speaker 3: not being here is hurting the team. And and I
- 42:17Speaker 3: think it sounded like he was pretty clear about it.
- 42:20Speaker 3: I just think you know, you said, yeah, it takes time.
- 42:24Speaker 3: It does take time, you know, and April, May, June,
- 42:27Speaker 3: in July is a lot of time. And so my
- 42:30Speaker 3: my my thought is is that they seem to be
- 42:33Speaker 3: at a standstill right now about they're just not budgeting,
- 42:36Speaker 3: you know, Yes, they can negotiate, but there's got to
- 42:40Speaker 3: be just a hiccup of what the Cowboys are wanting
- 42:44Speaker 3: and what CD want, and somebody's gonna have to give
- 42:47Speaker 3: in here. And and that's that's where where it seems
- 42:50Speaker 3: to be, because you know, every day he's not here,
- 42:52Speaker 3: I do think it hurts the team, and it hurts
- 42:54Speaker 3: him and and and it hurts the offense. So you'd
- 42:57Speaker 3: like to think that, you know, they had the time
- 43:00Speaker 3: to prevent this from happening, and so now it's gonna
- 43:03Speaker 3: have to come down to somebody's going to have the
- 43:06Speaker 3: budget on this. And I don't know who's gonna blink,
- 43:09Speaker 3: We'll see, Yeah, I don't.
- 43:11Speaker 16: I don't know either. I mean who's I guess it
- 43:14Speaker 16: depends on, you know, whether he really wants to just
- 43:17Speaker 16: get out of the team, or also what happens with
- 43:19Speaker 16: some of the other receivers that might step up in
- 43:21Speaker 16: his absence. But yeah, I don't think you can really
- 43:23Speaker 16: replace somebody who's you know, not top three in their
- 43:26Speaker 16: entire position.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Right right, Well, something's gonna gonna give here this year,
- 43:32Speaker 3: this week, because if you know, if you look at it,
- 43:36Speaker 3: it's a it's a million dollar fine for CD to
- 43:39Speaker 3: miss the Rams game even though he's not gonna play. Now,
- 43:41Speaker 3: the Cowboys could always wave the fines afterwards, but they
- 43:44Speaker 3: don't have to. And so these forty thousand you know,
- 43:48Speaker 3: a day finds is one thing, but you know he
- 43:52Speaker 3: could be missing a million dollars. Yeah, and so you know,
- 43:55Speaker 3: and then that's that's something the Cowboys could say, well,
- 43:57Speaker 3: we're not going to do that, and so now you're
- 44:00Speaker 3: gonna be fined a million dollars that that might change things.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Who knows? Who knows? I hope it does. I'd like
- 44:06Speaker 3: to see him here.
- 44:08Speaker 16: Yeah, sam uh the question I have. I've heard a
- 44:10Speaker 16: lot about you know, Tyler Guidon and how he looks,
- 44:13Speaker 16: but I was wondering, I haven't heard much about guys
- 44:16Speaker 16: like Nathan Thomas or Josh Ball or Walletsco or Awesome
- 44:20Speaker 16: Richards or how they might look at one on ones.
- 44:22Speaker 16: I was wondering, if you have any insights, and I'll
- 44:24Speaker 16: take the rest of it off the year to clear.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Up the mines from thanks for the call. From what
- 44:28Speaker 3: I saw just in practice the other day. It was
- 44:30Speaker 3: one on one drills and right before the team drills,
- 44:35Speaker 3: and it was it's it's you know, it's a good
- 44:37Speaker 3: with pads on one on one is always good to watch.
- 44:41Speaker 3: I saw at guard. I saw some pretty decent things
- 44:45Speaker 3: from Josh Ball. You know that, and that he's another
- 44:49Speaker 3: guy that, you know, a fourth year guy. When they
- 44:51Speaker 3: get into the you know, preseason games, he's going to
- 44:54Speaker 3: get some playing time and you know he'll be playing
- 44:56Speaker 3: against guys that probably aren't in their fourth year. So
- 44:58Speaker 3: that's a that's good for Hi him at least the
- 45:00Speaker 3: kind of able maybe to help show out a little bit.
- 45:03Speaker 3: He's he's switched positions a little bit, Nathan or yeah,
- 45:06Speaker 3: Nate Thomas not bad honestly, Uh, you know, they he's
- 45:13Speaker 3: just gotta stay healthy because if he's healthy, he's he's
- 45:16Speaker 3: probably a third or fourth round pick. So that's that's
- 45:20Speaker 3: what he's got to do, is just kind of stay
- 45:23Speaker 3: healthy and keep learning and show his versatility because he
- 45:26Speaker 3: could do different positions there that he's played mostly tackle,
- 45:29Speaker 3: they were having him play some at guard. So that's
- 45:32Speaker 3: always tough. And it's the same with Bbie moving inside
- 45:35Speaker 3: as well. You asked about well, let's go. I saw
- 45:37Speaker 3: a couple of drills with him. You know, he's got
- 45:42Speaker 3: he's got some issues sometimes they're you know, I think
- 45:46Speaker 3: either the knock on him is big, big guy, lumbering
- 45:50Speaker 3: guy can be a little stiff. He's gotta you know,
- 45:54Speaker 3: he hasn't played a lot of football. He's just got
- 45:56Speaker 3: to go out there and play. He's got to keep
- 45:58Speaker 3: those shoulders right. But good question. And those are some
- 46:01Speaker 3: of the guys that are going to be playing in
- 46:03Speaker 3: the in the preseason game for sure. All right, we
- 46:07Speaker 3: got a Robin Jersey yep.
- 46:14Speaker 15: Okay, hey, look, just to piggyback a little bit off
- 46:17Speaker 15: of earlier just talking about Super Bowl of bus or
- 46:21Speaker 15: why we love the game. I mean, I've seen four
- 46:25Speaker 15: of the five Super Bowls, and I can tell you
- 46:28Speaker 15: that back in the seventies, we didn't have podcasts, we
- 46:33Speaker 15: didn't have storyline, we didn't have Falking Cowboys, the Break,
- 46:39Speaker 15: we didn't have all its access to to the Cowboys.
- 46:42Speaker 15: I think it's wonderful and I think it's wonderful that
- 46:45Speaker 15: we're able to even have this to enjoy the Cowboys.
- 46:48Speaker 15: So when I say I look forward to preseason and
- 46:52Speaker 15: I hate it when we lose in the regular season
- 46:57Speaker 15: on postseason, yeah, I get I get emotional, but it's
- 47:00Speaker 15: a part of the game.
- 47:01Speaker 2: But all the things that we have.
- 47:03Speaker 15: That have access to in order to enjoy the game,
- 47:07Speaker 15: we didn't have before as as fans growing up back
- 47:10Speaker 15: in the seventies, Okay, And I just think it's I
- 47:14Speaker 15: just think it's wonderful what the Dallas Cowboys have made
- 47:17Speaker 15: available to us as fans to be able to just
- 47:20Speaker 15: enjoy the game, you know. And I mean I wish
- 47:22Speaker 15: I could be here right now in the training camp,
- 47:25Speaker 15: you know, just to see it live, you know, just
- 47:27Speaker 15: to be able to experience it all. But you know,
- 47:30Speaker 15: the point is is that we're we're having access to
- 47:33Speaker 15: a team and understanding the team before it gets started.
- 47:36Speaker 15: And that's what's exciting about it. And if they lose, well,
- 47:39Speaker 15: you know what, they did their best. But that's what
- 47:42Speaker 15: being a Cowboys fan is all about, right, you know,
- 47:44Speaker 15: we look forward to it. But that's just my take
- 47:47Speaker 15: on the talk about a whole of us. But my question,
- 47:52Speaker 15: my quick question is this, and it's more sort of
- 47:56Speaker 15: coaches question now that them our day. This is uh
- 48:00Speaker 15: head assistant head coach. I don't know if the room,
- 48:04Speaker 15: I mean, you know, the jobs of the job description
- 48:06Speaker 15: has changed as far as assistant coaching is concerned. But
- 48:08Speaker 15: what really is his role now other than replacing Mike
- 48:12Speaker 15: if he's not there.
- 48:14Speaker 3: And I don't even know if that happens, honestly, that
- 48:16Speaker 3: that doesn't always.
- 48:17Speaker 5: Is that more?
- 48:18Speaker 15: Is that more of a Derek question.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Well, I'm just the assistant head coach. Doesn't is not?
- 48:26Speaker 3: It's not the vice president. Okay, you don't just take
- 48:28Speaker 3: over necessarily. When when that happens, it would probably be
- 48:32Speaker 3: a coordinator, you know, it would. It would if you
- 48:36Speaker 3: know a few years ago, I think, didn't Mike have
- 48:38Speaker 3: COVID and New Orleans and Dan Quinn took over. I mean,
- 48:42Speaker 3: it was probably probably it's going to be a play
- 48:44Speaker 3: caller like that for one of the coordinators. But but
- 48:48Speaker 3: Al Harris though, I mean, and McCarthy said that that
- 48:51Speaker 3: it is different. Uh, it's not just a title change.
- 48:56Speaker 3: But it was one of those where you know, he
- 48:58Speaker 3: was up for maybe being a defensive court He didn't
- 49:00Speaker 3: get that job, but still out of respect for him,
- 49:03Speaker 3: the players love him, you know, they probably did get
- 49:05Speaker 3: a little salary bump as well. And and he's very
- 49:08Speaker 3: well respected here with with the players and and and
- 49:12Speaker 3: the staff. So I can't tell you everything that happens
- 49:17Speaker 3: with when he when the guy gets assistant head coach,
- 49:20Speaker 3: and what you have to do there there, there's there's
- 49:22Speaker 3: there's probably some other duties. They didn't detail what they are.
- 49:25Speaker 3: I would imagine it's it's it's more of a title.
- 49:28Speaker 3: It's probably more of a bump and and and to
- 49:30Speaker 3: show you know, hey, you're doing a great job and
- 49:33Speaker 3: your your day will come here as you know, to
- 49:36Speaker 3: be a coordinator, and maybe even more than that.
- 49:38Speaker 15: So all right, I'm just I enjoy yourself.
- 49:42Speaker 3: Thanks Rob, you know, to piggyback on what he said
- 49:46Speaker 3: the first part, which is also kind of puts a
- 49:48Speaker 3: bow on the show of about you know, how to
- 49:51Speaker 3: be a fan and and all that, and and there
- 49:53Speaker 3: there are no answers there. Michael from Colton, California, you know,
- 49:57Speaker 3: kicked us off like he usually does, and and he,
- 50:00Speaker 3: you know, said he's tired of seeing these playoff losses
- 50:05Speaker 3: and you know, and regular season doesn't matter, and and
- 50:08Speaker 3: and and I get the frustration and not telling anybody
- 50:11Speaker 3: how to be a fan, but but we all know
- 50:14Speaker 3: it that it does. We all know that the regular
- 50:16Speaker 3: season matters. And if you've learned anything from me on
- 50:19Speaker 3: just who I am, not not that I'm teaching a
- 50:21Speaker 3: class here. I'm just saying you learned on how I'm
- 50:25Speaker 3: built is Yes, it the regular season matters. Let's let's
- 50:30Speaker 3: focus on practice here, and then there's another one and
- 50:33Speaker 3: then the Rams come in on Thursday, and we're gonna
- 50:35Speaker 3: practice against the Rams and it's gonna look like a fight.
- 50:37Speaker 3: And then then they're gonna play on Saturday or sorry, Sunday,
- 50:40Speaker 3: you're gonna play on Sunday. And then you're gonna we're
- 50:42Speaker 3: gonna have a few days often and then we'll play.
- 50:44Speaker 3: You know, the Raiders in in in Vegas. Never been
- 50:47Speaker 3: to Vegas to watch a game before. I mean, that's
- 50:50Speaker 3: what I do. That's how I do this. So this
- 50:52Speaker 3: whole day by day stuff, Yes, that's what gets you through.
- 50:55Speaker 3: You know. I know it's a it's a really cool
- 50:58Speaker 3: sport to watch in the Olympic, the pole vault, but
- 51:01Speaker 3: that's not what we do. You don't pull vault over
- 51:03Speaker 3: things like that. They happened for a reason. And and
- 51:07Speaker 3: if you're sitting here thinking how is this team gonna
- 51:09Speaker 3: match up in the playoffs, they may not make it.
- 51:13Speaker 3: They may not make it. This year is gonna be different.
- 51:16Speaker 3: I think every game is gonna be a little bit
- 51:19Speaker 3: tougher than it was. I think the division is gonna
- 51:22Speaker 3: be tougher. I mean, it's these teams got better around them,
- 51:25Speaker 3: and right now the Cowboys don't look like they've gotten better.
- 51:28Speaker 3: It's hard to see how that is. You got it
- 51:31Speaker 3: all pro receiver not here. You got some some key
- 51:34Speaker 3: players that were that are on other teams. You had
- 51:37Speaker 3: a player that you're hoping that would make the leaf
- 51:39Speaker 3: this year is out for the season. So right now
- 51:42Speaker 3: it's it's it's gonna be a grind and and so
- 51:45Speaker 3: you know, you I just don't look look ahead like
- 51:49Speaker 3: that because I mean, I think we'll all be disappointed
- 51:52Speaker 3: if that's the case. But again, that's how I look
- 51:54Speaker 3: at it. You guys look at it differently. It's all good,
- 51:57Speaker 3: it's all good. All of all these callers we had,
- 51:59Speaker 3: we had a lets today everyone sees it a little
- 52:02Speaker 3: bit different. That's what we are. That's that's life. That's
- 52:04Speaker 3: what happens. We see the same thing. You know what,
- 52:07Speaker 3: Some people think it's hot, some people think it's cold.
- 52:09Speaker 3: Right now, you know, it's a little bit different. But
- 52:11Speaker 3: I will say this, it is time for us to go.
- 52:13Speaker 3: That is that is not really up for debate. It's
- 52:15Speaker 3: time for us to go. Cowboys break is gonna be
- 52:18Speaker 3: happening right now, so join them. But we will see
- 52:21Speaker 3: you guys back on Wednesday. It's gonna media party Tuesday night,
- 52:26Speaker 3: so it should be fun to get up early on
- 52:29Speaker 3: Wednesday and do a show with you guys, all right.
