• 1:14
  Speaker 3: workout guys just here on a tryout basis as well.

  Speaker 3: next few days. But the big ones will be the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you know, the rookies of the draft picks. They'll be
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: here and they'll be getting a chance. We'll get a

• 1:37

  Speaker 3: room both Friday and Saturday, so football. They'll be back
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: on the field for the first time for this offseason.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So that'll be at least fun to watch. And there
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: are not a lot of won't be heavy lifting practice
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: there and they're basically just going to be you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: helmets and shells probably, but still it's on the field.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: It's better than nothing, So that'll be kind of fun
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to watch, all right. Eight eight, eight, five five two
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: two nine seven. It's the number to call. I can
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: text at eight one seven two nine zero three two
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: nine eight. We'll take both. We'll start with calls, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we'll start with Irene in Virginia.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, how you doing.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you good?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: So you know, usually I don't pay attention too much
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: to Ricky Minicamp, but I think it's a testament to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: this show that I'm like invested in it's also funny,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: like I don't feel as it's not a positive let's
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: say about our outlook this season, at least for now.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: We'll see how that changes. The real test will be
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: if we get like four wins and see how I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: ready to book tickets for a parine but happens. Happens
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: every year. Yeah, but but it's cool to keep it
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: a little bit more engaged with this show. Had a
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: little bit of a thought, I don't know what the
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: schedule is going to be like when I know there's
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: a break usually from all the podcasts for four or
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: five weeks or so. So I was thinking, if that's
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: a good case with the that maybe we could, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: like how we had the book club, maybe we all
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: could commit to watching some of the Deep Blues and
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: kind of having some commentary about that when we like reconvene.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: That's what That's what I plan to use. I've watched
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: a fe of them, but way more, you know, way
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: more than I have, And I'm like, well, why do
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I never make time for that anymore?
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: I gotta do it, so that's me what.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I want to do, and I think that would have
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: lots of good stories that's good.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe we should just stream them instead of doing the podcast.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: We should just stream them live again and then just
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: put them in those time slots there and you're gonna
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: watch something.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You can watch these deep blues.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, I love that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: That would be great.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: Cool.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: So to answer Randy, I listened to the one from Tuesday.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: So I actually used.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: To work concerts in Charlottesville, Virginia, so I saw a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: lot of people come through there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Probably my closest celebrity I guess encounters would be escorting
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: John McEnroe and Andrea Agacy. They did some celebrity charity
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: game over there. And then Jimmy Buffett was my favorite
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: security detail ever. I was a part of a five
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: person crew. He had this thing about laser pointers and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that's literally all we did was we would watch for
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: laser pointers and make people stop so that he wouldn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: shut down the show because apparently he had done that
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: in the past. I don't know what the deal is
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: with that. Maybe it came from after he died. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: read about the incident in Jamaica where like they thought
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: he was a drug smuggling ship and they shot at him,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So I was feeling it might.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Have to do something with that, but I don't know anyway,
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: And then thoughts on I think you can talk about
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Jay Jones since he visited, right, so, and thoughts on that,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: and I'll hang up and look.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you, Ireen.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: As for Jay Jones, yeah, he did visit yesterday Wednesday
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: with the team. And then you know, Cowboys also released
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: mar Tavis Bryant from the practice squad. They now, I'm sorry,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: not from the pract squad, just from the roster. There's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: no practice squad in the off season. They didn't have
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to do that, and so these these are unrelated moves there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And Jay Jones is meeting with other teams. I think
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he's gonna meet with He's met with Arizona. I think
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: maybe Carolina or Tennessee also was expected to meet with
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs. So who knows what the situation is. As
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: far as signing him, I think it would be a.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Good pick up.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You know, the last I remember watching him, he was
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: torching the Cowboys and in that game a couple of
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: seasons ago. So yeah, he would bring some some speed,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to some playmaking ability to the to the table for sure.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I still feel like, you know, it always comes down
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to money, because he was released for money, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: his contract with with the with the Jaguars, it was
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a saving money. So it'll come down to that. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I just feel like other teams will just have more,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: you know, more to the off. So I'm not really
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: expecting that. A little surprised about Martavis Briant. They didn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: have to do that. They had some spots on the roster.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: They just decided to make that cut. All right, Let's
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: go to Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, Michael there,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: Michael, Yeah, Michael and Bowling Green.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go. What do you got?
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: All right? So number fifteen says he's back for to
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: take care of some unfinished business in Dow. And his
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: first season he had about one hundred and six hundred
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: and eight yards per game and his last season he
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: had thirty eight. He went down every year from his
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: first to his last. How many yards per game do
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: you think Zeke will have? And how many do you
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: think you'll need to have to carry the load and
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: hits Uh to.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Carry the load.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's all about how he does early on,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: you know, and if he's going to be the guy
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and be the first few weeks of the season to
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: kind of carry the load. Like you said, I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you know, you probably need to have I don't know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: sixty maybe sixty to seventy averaging. It's also got you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you're going to be doing other things as well. You're
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: catching the ball and also blocking and so things like that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, number wise, you have to be the best back.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: That's really what it comes down to. Are you the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: best back? Are you the best option? That's if it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: twenty five yards a game, and that's not good for
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: the rest of the guys because if he's the best option,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: then he will be playing the most. So that's that's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: what it'll come down to.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: So you think he can get about twelve hundred yards
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: for the sau.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: He could, Yeah, but that's not really what you asked
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: you did, see, I'm not answering that way. What I'm
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: saying is is to be to be the guy first
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: few weeks of the season, you know, in order for
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: them to say, like it was in twenty eighteen when
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: they said receiver by committee, this isn't working, and then
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: we've got to go do something else. So you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: if if it's bad, if he's twenty to thirty yards
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: a game, forty yards a game or something like that,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: and he's your best option, then you better figure it out.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: You better try to trade for somebody or say, you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you know, add a little boost to the running game.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: But if if not, you know, I still think he
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: can he can do it. If he can, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: stay staying healthy's the key.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: But I think he can get over a thousand. Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: I think I think he's can be in the fifty
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: to sixty yards per game. So I mean, I believe
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: he's I just want to see you know what you thought.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's still capable of it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: But I mean, you know you're not. He's continued to
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: go down, like you said, every year. That's not by accident,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: but it's also it's also because he's not getting as
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: many attempts. And you know, we'll see if if there's
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: anybody that's going to be better than him. I feel
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I said it last show, I shall say it again,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and I don't have the concrete answer here. I just
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: think something is going to change with this position. This
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is not going to be the way it is all year.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: They're going to add someone or or somebody on this
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: team is going to to rise to the occasion that
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: we didn't even expect. But I just I just don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be Zeke as the leading rusher
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: every single game. I just don't see that happening. So,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: but I don't have a good answer for you. I
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: just you know, it's like, I don't know it's going
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: to be something. I just don't know what it is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: Well you answered, I appreciate.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It, all right, all right, Michael, have a good one.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Let's get to I'll say this too before.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: We move on.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You know, I like I like the favorite favorite wrestler,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: favorite movie, guy, movie, favorite player. I don't know if
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I like the this is my favorite, this is my
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: story with a celebrity, because it's never quick. You know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna be. We saw that last show and
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: all that. Randy's my guy with those those stories kind
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: of dragged on a little bit. He's, yeah, I don't
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's actually a thing we want
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to really get down to, because these are gonna be
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: these aren't gonna be just quick stories.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's may I understand we have time
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: on our hands.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: But maybe maybe if there is a story, it's gotta
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: be it's gotta be pretty quick like that. All right,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: let's go to Tim and Grapevine. Sorry Tim, if you
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: have some great story.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: Good afternoon, Nick. I don't. But you know, I saw
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: the Tom Brady roast and I kind of wish Jerry
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: Jones would do a roast, the roast of Jerry Jones.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: And before people freak out, I love Jerry Jones. Yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: I just I just think because of his story and
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: he's so funny, all this Jerry ism, they're hilarious and
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: there's just a lot to work with there. I think
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: it would be fantastic.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you gotta have you got to have thick skin.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: You gotta be able to take it, you know. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think he definitely could, you know, he could. He
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: could qualify for a roast, for sure.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: He's a good sport. I mean, would you be willing
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: to ask him about it? I'm just kidding this.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Probably I wouldn't be willing to be one of the roasters.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I'd like, No, we're good, we're good.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I'll just keep just keep a paycheck. That
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that's all good. Even like I said, he can take it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He can take it, but no one wants to hear
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what I have.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: To say, and then he would dish it at the end.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: You know that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's going to bring it back for sure.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: So I wanted to And you may have already discussed this,
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: and I know you guys probably behind the scenes talk
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: about it. But this new kickoff role, I'm fascinated to
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: see because I think it's going to evolve and evolve
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: as teams get more data and they get more reps
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: at it. I think think it's I think the intention
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: is good to bring back some excitement. The strategy is
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: going to come from it. Who knows what's going to
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: look like. I'm just kind of wondering what are your
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: thoughts on it as of right now? And I mean,
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: do you like it and all that and I'll all.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Hang out, Yeah, yeah, thanks Jim.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I actually do I like getting the kickoff return. You're
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: back in the game again. I definitely like that, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I think I think we're going to see that it's
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: different because hang time means nothing anymore, you know, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and what you know? It makes me wonder though, this
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: is going to be sort of like you know, when
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: you think about baseball tagging up at third, I mean
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: like you're supposed to wait for the guy to catch
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it then come home. I mean like that's going to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: happen where guys are going to take off before you
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: know the ball is actually caught, So that that'll be
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: an interesting dynamic there too. But I just I feel
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: like you're going to You're gonna just see some some
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: players in the open field a lot more, and that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: going to be exciting. I'd like to see, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Turpin get a chance to do that. You just want
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: to see more returns. So I think if you have
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a speedy returner and dynamic guy like that, you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and and I think, like you said, it might change
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: to the point where, you know, maybe it's not going
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: to be the same type of returner as it was.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's more of a running back that needs to
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: have really good field vision and and and it doesn't
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: matter so much about the speed and all that as
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it is just kind of getting there, getting it blocked,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: getting to the hole, being able to read that and go. So, yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: this is a very unique play, especially to the NFL.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it'll be it'll be fun to see how
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: this thing evolves over the years. But but I like
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: it because I've just I've never really, I don't know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I've never liked the fact that it's just ever thing
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: just gets kicked to the end zone, you know, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: it's just like, let's let's go. I mean, let's I
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: remember the Super Bowl was the Bears and the Colts,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and I think it was Super Bowl forty two,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: maybe forty one and forty one, I think, and so
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and it was first first kickoff of the game. You know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Devin Hester is having this great rookie season. They kick
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: it off and he takes it and takes it to
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the house, you know. I mean that was just so excited,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: such a build up and and and that's such a
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: cool play. And then you know, most of the time
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: it just gets kicked out of the end zone. So
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I do like from that standpoint, I do think it's
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you're gonna see more kickoff returns, and that's that's.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: A good thing. All right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how's it going.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: Good man?
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: You know, I was listening to I was watching Cars
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: the other day. You've ever seen the movie Cars? Kid movie.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have an eight year old son, so yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I've seen it. I haven't seen it today. I haven't
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: seen it today. Well, yeah, yeah I have seen it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, life is a high watching it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: I was watching the Life of Highway exactly. I was
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: watching it, and I'm like, Mader sounds like somebody, man,
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: who it's Randy. Randy is from Cars.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I think I said that to Chris the other day
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: or to somebody. Yeah, yeah, he does sound like mad.
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's hilarious.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I can't get that. Every time I
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: heard him talking, I'm like, oh, there there's Rady. It's cool,
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: funny guy.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: Though.
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: I love me some Randy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: So I guess just kind of a quick one.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: Today.
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: I keep seeing on Twitter people keep talking about like
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: the terms relevant and competitive, and they act like it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: somehow contradictory to like championship football, Like the Joneses are
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: okay with giving this team to like eighty percent and
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: they're just okay being done with their jobs because the
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: team will be relevant, they'll win some games and whatever.
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: But my philosophy is that to win championships, you've got
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: to stay relevant. You've got to stay competitive. For as
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: long as possible. You're not going to have like an
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: all star team all the time, and so I don't
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: think those terms are contradictory. I think it's important to
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: stay competitive and to stay relevant, and I think if
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: you do that long enough, you're increasing your odds to
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: win the championship. I don't think you're going to build
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: this like Juggernot team, and even if you do, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: Cowboys have those kind of teams. Twenty fourteen was great.
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: Twenty sixteen even you had a rookie quarterback with your
• 16:16
  Speaker 11: running back, that team was great that you passed and
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: Jugger not teams two thousand and seven and you still lost,
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: And those were kind of flash in the pan years.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: You didn't see the consistent like playoff Berth at the
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: playoff first. I think now we're three years into this thing,
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: twelve and five three playoff first. Yeah, we've lost, but
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: the roster is still very good. They've added some key pieces,
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: and I think they're still competitive and relevant, which people
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: will probably be annoyed to hear those words, but they are.
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: And I think this is a team that could do
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: some damage if they have some luck on their side,
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: which is another important thing that people don't really want
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: to hear. But you need a little bit of luck,
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: you know. So I just want to get your thoughts
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: on that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that's a really good point because
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you think about it when teams are like, well let's
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: just go for it, you know, let's let's go all
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: in or whatever, and let's go for it. Well, if
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: you're going to do that and you're going to play
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: that way, then that means you are going to have
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the flip side of that when there's gonna be times
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: when you're not going for it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You don't you don't have the.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Resources to do it because you you used it up
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: over here. And I think, and I think to what
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you're saying, Dylan, is what the Cowboys have been trying
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to do here. And it happens when you have an
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: an eighty year old owner and general manager you know
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: who I mean, it's he's he doesn't want to have
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: a year or two where it doesn't or it's not
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: good where you know, you always want to be there.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You always want to have a chance. These games are
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: too close, they're too close to to to be to
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: have a team that just is not good at all. Uh,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: you know, and and who knows what next year is
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: going to look like. Next year could be that type
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: of team.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to have to get some guys
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: developed here, some of these young players that you need
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: to count on, or you need you need those CD
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Lamb type jumps that he had from last year or
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the year before to last year.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So you get a few.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Of those, and you know your quarterback plays good, you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: stay relatively healthy, you can always have a chance. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's what the Cowboys are trying to do,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: is always have a chance. And I just don't know
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: if fans necessarily understand that it doesn't always work. That
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the league is not designed for this to happen all
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the time. It's not designed for the Patriots to go,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: what fifteen years in a row of that kind of dynasty.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: It's not designed that way. That just shows how good
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that they are. It's usually a cycle. Here, the Rams
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: did it, they went all in, and then the next
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: couple of years they struggled some, but they actually snuck
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: in and made the playoffs last year. And I think
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: that's the type of thing the Cowboys are hoping for,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: maybe not this year, but next season. Next season, when
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it's going to be tough, salar cap is definitely going
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: to be a challenge even more than it is this year.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: But this year, I still think this team has a
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: good chance to compete and go for it because talent wise,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I think that they're as good as as most teams,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: if not, if not you know, all of them, I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: think that they have they have a shot, and that's
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: really all that you want.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Ray and Fort Worth that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: kind of it's not designed that way, right they are? Yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Ray?
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: Hey? So real quick? What do you what schedule of
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: the game? The schedule comes out next Tingsday, I believe
• 19:23
  Speaker 13: next Wednesdays? What prime time? What games do you want
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: to be on primetime? What's your favorite games?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, I mean, they're always going to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: put the Eagles and probably the Giants on there as well.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: But but I.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Have a feeling Houston is going to be a primetime game,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: maybe even like a I mean I could even see
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that on Week one honestly, just the way you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: try to get the digs digs match up. I think
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Houston will be a game that that you'll see, uh
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: in primetime what about you?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: I I think that one, but I kind of want
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: to see I think Cincinnati comes here, so I liked
• 20:05
  Speaker 13: for that to be primetime game, maybe like a Thanksgiving
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: kind of game. Yeah, so that's what I want want
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: to see. And the schedule is gonna be really difficult.
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: I don't. I don't know if the Cowboys can run
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: it back to when the two because it's been a
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: long time since the teams went back to back division titles.
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: I mean a long long time.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you're gonna have to get some of these guys
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: that are gonna You're right, some of these guys gonna
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: have to step up. The Dallas is gonna make the
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: playoffs given their schedule. Their schedule is brutal. I mean,
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: I don't. I'm not a I wasn't a big fan
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: of Zeke signing. I'd rather just I like, like I
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: told you last time, I liked the guy that they had.
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: You still got some guys out there, ud Ivan Cook,
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: You're still sitting out there. I think he has more left.
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: I think Zeke's pretty much run it. Course, I get
• 21:05
  Speaker 13: it Cowboys and familiar with him, But I don't think
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: Zeke will be there the starting running back by mid season.
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: I mean, especially if you're going to use him early.
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: I mean, I don't know, but I'm excited to see
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: what this defense is going to look like, what Zim
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: is going to do. You know, I'm a big micro
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: persons fan. I'd like to see him put back at
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: linebacker and not get bashed every game at defensive ends
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: because teams they figured out you just run at him,
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: so teams they figured out to take him out the game.
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: I think he's a big playmaker if he's playing back
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: at linebacker.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you there. I
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: think you know, there's a way to be creative about
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: it where you know he's still going to rush the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: passer at times. I mean, you know, I mean, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in those passing situations third and eleven you want to
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: run at him? Cool, because I mean when we should
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: have guys rally to the ball and make the tackle
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: and then here comes the pont team. So which is
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: which is what you want? So yeah, I mean I
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: think I think that they have to. You know, it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: gonna be a chess match every time are you running?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Are you passing? Whereas Mike, you're going to be You're
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: not always going to pick right. But but I think,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: you know, I think there's Zimmer's working on this. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: mean all all off season here. I mean, this is
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: one of his top priorities is figured out how to
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: make Micah Parsons awesome from week one to week eighteen.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I mean not not just early on, but but the
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: entire year. And I think that's the goal.
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's why the linebacker that we drafted was key.
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: They didn't get a running back in the draft, but
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: they feel it, I think really important holes, which is linebacker.
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: So that Ricky linebacker is gonna have I think is
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: gonna have to play a big row or appreciate you.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Definitely all right, right, yeah, you know, I mean he
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: brings up the schedule. He said, the schedule is brutal,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: you know, and I'm always I'm always that way of
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: where I'm kind of like, you know, let's let's wait
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: and see. I mean, you know, I think I think
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Chris is put some up here to just get send
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: me a message. I mean last year, you know, that's
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: kind of what you thought too. And you know, Rams Chargers, Philadelphia, Detroit,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Buffalo Miami. I mean somebodyse were tough, you know, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I mean some of them weren't. There's there's certain things
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: you can kind of expect me now, the Ravens are
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: going to be good. I mean, that's the thing I
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: will say this about this year's schedule is that it's
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: going to be tough. Not necessarily like tough to win
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: as much as it's going to just be a physical grind,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: just a tough game.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And I said it the other day.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: The Ravens, the Steelers, the Bengals, the Browns, they're built
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: that way where it is going to be a tough
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: game against the Detroit is tough and the forty nine
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Ers are tough, so hard hitting teams. The Cowboys have
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: to become that type of team too, And they've got
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to bring it and be a hard hitting team and
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: be able to withstand some of that stuff. And if
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: you can do that, you can play really good defense,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: sound defense, figure out a way to stop the run,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: figure out a way to run the football, then you're
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: going to be in all those games. So it doesn't
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: matter if you're playing a first place schedule or not.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: If the Cowboys can also be one of those tough teams.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Then I think that travels week to week and you
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: have a chance to win and succeed every time. If
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you can be one of the tougher teams, you can't
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: just get run over sometimes. Last year they did get
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: run over. And that has to change. And I know that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: That's why Zimmer's here to help change that. And we'll see,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: we'll see if he can get it done. All right,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: let's go to Rob in Vegas.
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob, how's everything good?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: I'm good? What is nice? Can be about ninety next week?
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: Some is right around the block.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, listen, I think the worst thing you
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: could do in sports as an owner is be comfortable.
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: I think, and let's be honest, I think that Jones
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: family is too of the ball. You know, being relevant
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: is important. Sure, you have to be. You got to
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: get to the playoffs, let's face it. But I think
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: twenty five years ago, Jerry would have been different, would
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: have made moves, would have built on the team more,
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: especially twelve, twelve and five three years in a row.
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: He would have kept building. You know, we talk about
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: the Rams, Hey Rams went for it, won a Super Bowl.
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: They didn't really fall off that much. I don't think
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: you fall off like you used to. You know, it
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: used to be, oh my god, the salary cap you're
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: going to be in salary cap hell for years. Those
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: days are over. They manipulate these numbers and boom. The
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: Rams were right back in the playoffs. So unfortunately, I
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: wish that Jones is woman is comfortable, But that's that's
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: impossible when you work that kind of money. I mean,
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: and you haven't had a super Bowl in thirty years.
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: It's all to change that mentality.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Oh let me, let me, let me throw this in.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Relevant is I think I think we're saying relevant, but
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: we're really what that means is good, like a good team,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: well competitive, not relevant. It doesn't matter if you're on
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: ESPN every night.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: So it's a two different things. Though, those are two
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: different things. The Cowboys were always relevant when they're four
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: and twelve.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're always gonna be relevant.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I think what we're talking about is is a good
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: team competitive, a good football team that has a chance
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: to compete. I'm not talking about relative. You're always gonna
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: is on the air your relative.
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, But I don't think the see I think the
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: problem is you got to build on being competitive and
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: take it to the next level. You got to be
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: looking for the super Bowl. You got to beat That's
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: why I thought this year was so odd, thinking that
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: we had a really good team last year. Just build
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: on it. For some reason, they don't look at it
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: like we do.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: So I agree.
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: Relevant is about the Coubys will always be relevant as
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: long as Cherry Jones is alive. I'm talking about build, build, build,
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: and and that's why I think Dak Prescott is abbably saying,
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: why should I take less money? What are you going
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: to guarantee me that the five million I don't take,
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: you're going to invest it into the team, because they
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: show they don't do that. We've talked about it when
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: they had the young Dak Prescott, the rookie, and like
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: you said, the next year, we've been a year and
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: they didn't. So all I'm saying is hungry relevant. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: don't think there is hungry, but that will always be relevant.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, we were talking.
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: I was talking about you know, I always wondered and
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: I want to get your feedback. If you could change
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: one rule in the NFL tomorrow, what would it be?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Quarterback slide. Get that out.
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: I agree, I agree, I totally.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: That would that would be that's the first thing that
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: comes to my mind. Well, I say that the stiff arm.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: The stiff arm pisses me off. Actually I get mad.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: And when I see a stiff arm that that really
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: does make me mad. When a guy is running with
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the ball and he just goes and just smacks a
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: guy right in the face and he can't even see
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: and he's trying to you know, sometimes he'll grab a
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: face mask. I hate that rule. It's so hypocritical because
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: you can't hit anyone in the face area in anything.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You can't legal hands to the face on offense or defense,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and you certainly can't hit a quarterback.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: But for some reason, if.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: You've got a football in your hand, you can just
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: smack a guy right in the face.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: That That that one bothers me. That in the quarterbacks,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: what do you got?
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: There are two There are too many rules now that
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: are interpretated by the refs. It used to be we
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: knew a catch is a catch or you know.
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: The problem now is.
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: It just it's just like a boxing match. You get
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: one judge scores it wasn't well, right, judge and that's
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: how the refs are. So to me, I would give
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: the coaching. The coaches two challenges a game to challenge
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: anything they want. I don't care what it is, holding,
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: it doesn't matter, and if they win both, they get
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: another one. Because pass interference to me, is the worst penalty.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: It could be ninety yards if the quarterback could throw
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: it that far, and I think it's just it has
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: changed the game. What do you see if that every
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: pass play, we're not even looking at fans to see
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: if he caught it. We are looking where's the flag?
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: You see the guy jump, the receiver jump up, making
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: believe he's throwing up. So to me, you either go
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: to the college rule with pass interference, which I think
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: would be great, but because there's so many rules that
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: the way they interpret it that they hit the quarterback
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: up high defenseless receiver, which I don't even understand really
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: what that is. I would give a coach to challenge
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: whatever you want. But the key is you cannot have
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: the NFL review the calls. It has to be an
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: outside source because I'm sorry, they're not gonna wanna make
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: their own refs look bad. It has to be somebody
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: outside that's actually going to do the review, and I
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: think that would be cool and get these refs out
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: of the tree.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: That's kind of tricky because I mean, how do these guys,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: what do they even understand the rules?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Do they know them?
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, they could be they could be X refs
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: maybe or X. You know, they got to betraying it
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: whatever it is. But I have a problem that New
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: York is basically reviewing their guys on the field. Well,
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: let's face it, if you kept turning them over, you're
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: basically saying these guys ain't very good at what they do.
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: And then sometimes they don't turn it over and we're
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: looking at it like really, so I just get to
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: get the bias out, move it outside. So nobody says, well,
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: of course it's you know, it's New York. Whatever it is, right,
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: But to me, I would love to see that because
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: we're never going back to the eighties football or early
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: nineties football, where it was just football. We did work,
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: the rest weren't really involved as much, and it was
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: just pure it was just great.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, good, good, good call there. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: appreciate that. Let's get let's keep it going here. Brian
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: in Lakeland, Florida.
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: Hey Nick, what's going on with man?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: Doing pretty good?
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: Second time caller, First time I called it really didn't
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: get to go over my favorite rapid fire. I'm real quick.
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: Tony Roman was my favorite cowboy and it really started
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: with the Bills come back game. From that point forward,
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: I'm like, I'm gonna ride with you, dude, and Chusey's
• 31:39
  Speaker 14: no longer our quarterback. Favorite wrestlers, I say the Hardy
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: Boys made Monday siding, but I think my favorite was
• 31:49
  Speaker 14: from the era that I watched at least was The Rock,
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: which brings me to my favorite football movie. I don't
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: know if you've ever seen The grid Iron Gang.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that. That's your favorite football movie.
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: That is my favorite football movie, maybe because of the storyline,
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: Like I love hearing about what he did with the kid,
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: not the Rock, but the main guy, what he did
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: with the kids and keeping him out of the prison system.
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: And the final play where Junior blocked the two linebackers
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: to steel the end and get the running back in
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: the end zone. It's funny because my buddy Travis I'm
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: san Antonio call it and use it the other day
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: and I wanted.
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: To use it.
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: I'm like, he made that block cause he's got an ass.
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: This is one of my favorite thos. I love the story.
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: But I did want to touch on one thing that
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: you were talking about, how the league got designed for,
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: you know, to stay as top, to stay you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 14: relevant for this long and and honestly, like in likely
• 32:43
  Speaker 14: you're right, Like I mean, I remember five six years
• 32:46
  Speaker 14: ago when Jalen and late Vanders had like they're one
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: good year together coming into that offseason. We're just like, man,
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: we're up set at linebackers for a long time, and then.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Within a year two it was done.
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: They were no longer late in Jalen and uh, you
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: know I remember hearing, you know, even a three years
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: before that or been Dack locking the league if that
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: Deshaun Watson was in Texas and they're like, is Dak
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: even the best quarterback in Texas? Like there's going to
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: be a battle for years, and then what two three
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: years later, not even a battle anymore. You know, Dak's
• 33:18
  Speaker 14: still there, but Deshawn's not. So stuff is You're right?
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: There's stuff that could be beyond your control, you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: as far as the league designs, but it really isn't
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: designed to keep teams, you know, relevant, and the couples
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: do a good job with it. But you know, at
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: the same time, I can understand the frustration of being relevant,
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: having chips at the table and just never capitalized in.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Never winning, right, right, And that's that's uh, that's the
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: big question. Would you rather just you know, be good
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: every year, always have a shot, have a chance, or
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, be up and down. But when
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: you are up, you're in the super Bowl and you're
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe winning the super Bowl, you know, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: when you're down, you're down. So that's that's kind of
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: that's It's kind of like the way the Eagles have
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: been and I think their fans probably appreciate that more
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: than the Cowboys fans that you know do but you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: but it's it's just just a different mindset, you know.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 34:11
  Speaker 14: And I thought about it too, like Washington years ago,
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: I mean, before Dak and Zeke Elliott, but it was
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: RG three and Alfred Morris, like these were going to
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: be the next two guys for years, and I mean
• 34:22
  Speaker 14: it lasted two years, yeah, and then Alfred Morris is
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: still pretty good, but I mean that could be back
• 34:27
  Speaker 14: longer than that. I mean again, sometimes it's stuff that's
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: be on your control, and sometimes it's the way to
• 34:31
  Speaker 14: lose design, right, But it is amazing that they stayed
• 34:34
  Speaker 14: relevant for that long when stuff is just to go
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: downhill so fast if you turn on the die.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: That's true, that's true, and then you know, and there's
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, Brian, there's not that many people that that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: There's not as many fans that appreciate it the way
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: you do. And and I'm not saying that you're right
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: or wrong. I'm just saying not everyone kind of appreciates
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: it that way and looks at it that way.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're right.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: And because when you think about it, every year, you
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: want to get excited. Here comes roocky Minicamp this weekend,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: and then there's gonna be the veterans come in and
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: then training camp and all that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You want to be excited.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: And you, let's be honest, you just don't want your
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: team to suck. You don't want you there's nothing worse
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: than September and you know you're not gonna have a
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: good team, you know, And this is what happened to
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: college football a lot. You know, you lose a game
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: or two in college and you're done and pro yeah,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you have some chances to get back, but you know
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: early on if your team is good or not, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: and you know, that's the worst feeling, and when you're
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: you don't have it. So it's been a while since
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys have really had that feeling. I thought even
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: the twenty fifteen season when they were four and twelve,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: middle of the season, you still thought, you know, Tony
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: was coming back. The whole division was terrible, you know,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you still thought, you know what, they might have a
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: shot here. So it's been a long time since they
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: were out of it way early.
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: And the reason they've been out of it the last
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: ten twelve years, there's always been major injury, like one
• 36:05
  Speaker 14: major injury and okay, now they're pretty much out of
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: it right because the team wasn't constructed well.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: So all right, so I agree, So.
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: I appreciate taking my call there. Again. I'll try to
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: get back again, second time caller. We'll try to get
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: on more often.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: All right, thanks, Brian, appreciate that. Let's go to North Carolina.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: We got Jeff in North Carolina.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: What's going on, Nick?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty good about yourself. Great, Yeah, not much mat
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Chris was getting on me, Jibby. I ain't heard from
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: you in a while. I know I've been listening. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: just ain't been able to call it lately.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, man, I really want to get you and
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Randy hanging out together.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah too.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he thought I was Randy when I when? When
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I when? He answered?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Yeah. You guys got the character. Yeah, well
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you know you're not. You're not too different as far as.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I probably ain't got into as much stuff as he had,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: but he's got some stories. That's that's for sure, them
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: on the air. But yeah, maybe so that might be right.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: What happens in North Carolina stays in North Carolina.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, sounds good.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Now, I'm just gonna ask you.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I thought the draft. I kind of liked her draft.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I thought we'd done. We've done, Okay. I know a
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: lot of people was upset about, uh we didn't get
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: a running back, but uh, but I thought we were
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: going hopefully for improving. You know, the things we struggled
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: with last year was running the ball and stopping to run.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what they tried to address mainly
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: in the draft and and I think they did that
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: hopefully and uh, and that's where it all starts. But
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: but but you know, I know a lot of guys
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: been talking about the running backs and everybody talks about
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Zeke and Deuce Deuce and uh, that'll but nobody gives
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: the Malik Davis no love. You know, he showed he's
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: had a few opportunities he can make plays, but they
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: just I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's his past
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: protection maybe or something, but he never gets no love
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: from nobody, seems like. But I always thought he was
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: pretty good too.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was a little surprised he didn't have
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: a better season last year. I thought he was going
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: to get more opportunities from what we saw with you
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: know him as a rookie, and you know, he's he's
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: just one of those backs. He's kind of like Rico
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Dadle when you know, there's just not anything. I hate
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: seeing this because it sounds bad, but it's like there's
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: just not like one trait that's extremely special, you know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: and you know, you got to be super fast or
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: super quick, or really strong or a great pass catcher
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: or you know, goal goal line back is something and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: when you're just kind of decent to good at all
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: of them, it's just hard to get on the few
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: feel that way.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, but.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still around, and I mean, he still has
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: a shot, and I think, you know, I wouldn't be
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: surprised if he if he maybe he's the guy that
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: that's a little surprising that that you know, he's got
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: to get the opportunities first.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But if he does, Yeah, yeah, that's right, Yeah, that's right.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what though, if if we go, if
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: we go into next year and they're still thinking need
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: a back, let me give you a name to be
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: looking for, and you can ask Jessie about him. Omari
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: and Hampton at University of North Carolina. He'll be drafteds
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: well next year, I think, And uh, well he probably
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: could have come this year, but I think he decided
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to stay in school one more year. But he's got
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: he's got speed and power and good balance, and uh,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: that would be a name to look for and next
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: year's draft if if we're still looking for back. So,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: but the other thing I was gonna ask you about
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: was the compensatory picks. And because I've seen what the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: projections are, we're gonna get and and uh, do they
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: have a formula for that? Because I think we's all
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: there's mainly fifth round picks and I thought, can we
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: not even got a fourth round for for Pollard? I mean,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: how do they figure that?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: We don't have that long of a show to to
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: figure out that formula, honestly. But I just think this, Okay,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: were you ever what grade were you in when math
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: was just like too much?
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: Was it?
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Was it high school? Like calculus or algebra?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Just oh yeah, algebra?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, just think of the worst kind of you know, equation.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: That's about the same as as figuring out out I've
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: heard many people say that, you know, they'll they'll they'll
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: cure cancer before they figure out the actual formula of that,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: And uh and I'm not trying to say, you know,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: make it projecting the Dolphins to get two three for
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: them to defensive players, I think that they all defensive
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: limbing maybe And I thought, wow.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Agreed, So it comes down to how much money, uh
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: you you these guys get. But also and I'm I
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: still think it also comes down to how they play,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: because I was told that they were there was a
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: shot the Cowboys were going to get a pick for
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Noah Brown, but then he's kind of tapered.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Off at the end. And uh so, I think performance
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: is part of it.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: It's money that you spend versus money that that your
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: guys got, which that would certainly help the Cowboys.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: But also there's there's a max of four, and they're
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: gonna get the max.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I saw that too, where they're gonna get
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: like fifth and six, maybe a seventh outside shot for
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: a four. But but don't even try to figure out
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: the formula of this people that.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and b and as Bro.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: That was my worst thing.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I took it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I took it my freshman year in high school cause
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: my eighth grade teacher said, I, I believe you could
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: do this, and so I took it, and I did
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: my homework every night every night, but I met but
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: we go up for the next day in class, and
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: it always be wrong. I honestly believe the lady my
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: teacher passed me just because I tried but I couldn't
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe she just didn't want you in her class anymore.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: You know what, Let's just give him the so and
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: so and sophomore year because I'm done.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well going forward after that, I didn't I didn't
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: take algebra, tou I just took regular math. You know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: got my what I need to graduate as far as math,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: and I moved on.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I'm with you that. Yeah.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking my call, and I'll try to
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: call back more often. But you have a good day, man,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: you too.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey's get it,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: let's get keep it moving here Ronnie, New Jersey.
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: How's it going, Nick?
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Are you not too bad?
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: Not too bad?
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: Nick?
• 43:01
  Speaker 12: I was listening to Rob earlier, and I'll be honest
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: with you, man, I disagree with a lot of stuff
• 43:08
  Speaker 12: that he was talking about with like the Joneses. Man,
• 43:12
  Speaker 12: we had teams and that should have won championships. We
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: had like what two teams at least with Romo. I
• 43:19
  Speaker 12: love Romo. We had two teams with Romo that could
• 43:22
  Speaker 12: have won a couple of championships, and they choked. We
• 43:25
  Speaker 12: had a couple of teams with that six team and
• 43:27
  Speaker 12: last year twice they choke. So and I know you
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: don't like that word when you say that they choked,
• 43:34
  Speaker 12: but the reality they choke for the big moments. For
• 43:37
  Speaker 12: whatever reason, this team is like in their DNA, that's
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: what I have. That's the way I see it. It's
• 43:43
  Speaker 12: like in their DNA too. And so they prove us
• 43:45
  Speaker 12: wrong to choke because we had so far four teams
• 43:50
  Speaker 12: that should have at least won once at least twice
• 43:54
  Speaker 12: now once now twice out of the four times, and
• 43:58
  Speaker 12: they just didn't live up to the moment. You've had
• 44:00
  Speaker 12: the team, you had, the players, uh, the coaching staff.
• 44:03
  Speaker 12: You can't you can't say the Joneses ain't putting in
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: you know, they're not going out there, they're not playing
• 44:08
  Speaker 12: on the football field. They're they're they're doing their best
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: to put the team together, and they're just not living
• 44:13
  Speaker 12: up to the moment.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: I wanted to ask you Nick, right now, there's so
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: much stuff and talks about like, oh, you know if
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: they trade or uh, we don't have that's not the
• 44:24
  Speaker 12: running back room. If you had a choice to trade
• 44:28
  Speaker 12: for a star player, a dominant player, what will you
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: trade for a nose tackle or a running back? Right now?
• 44:36
  Speaker 12: If it's up to you, what.
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: Am I?
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: What am I trading?
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 44:41
  Speaker 12: Let's say a third round pick, second round pick. What
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: will you trade for?
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, second third is different, but but I would probably
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a it's I'm not trading a second
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: or third round pick to somebody to rent them. Okay,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: So I'm I'm I'm gonna trade for somebody that I
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: could resign and keep for a little bit, just like
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: you would a second and third round pick.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, no position would I trade just just
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: so I to have a running back.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not trading for a running back that's in the
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: last year of his deal who's a pretty good running runner,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: but he wants a lot of money and then next
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: year he's gonna go somewhere else.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not trading for that, So I would.
• 45:25
  Speaker 12: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, considering the contract. Considering the contract,
• 45:29
  Speaker 12: Let's say there was a you had an option right now, Okay,
• 45:32
  Speaker 12: so what other two and the guy has maybe two
• 45:35
  Speaker 12: three years left on his contract. Will you trade a
• 45:37
  Speaker 12: third round pick for that?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Probably? Probably not.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: I mean I I maybe maybe a third round pick,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: but but it would have to be somebody that I
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: think is going to be in the fold for a
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: little bit, and it got to be a difference maker.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: And so you know, I think a defensive tackle more
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: than I would say a running back.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah thinks'll yeah, I thinks she'll take my call maker.
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: That's all I wanted to hear.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: You know, and I and I agree with the first
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: part about you know, I think the Cowboys have put
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: themselves in a position to win a lot of these games.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, and they just doesn't always happen. Again, I
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: don't I don't use the word choke like that. You know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams that are that are good
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: teams that that don't win. You know that they don't
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: they don't win at all. I mean, there's only this
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: only design for one to win. I mean, I don't
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: think that the two thousand and seven Patriots that went
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: nineteen and oh, I don't think they choked in the
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: So that's not really a term that I mean, you
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: lost and and maybe you were the you were the favorite,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: But I don't use that word. The point is is
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: that these teams have been good, and that the Jones
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: family and Will McLay and the head coach and they
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: they they've got some really good teams that they have
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: you know, could figured and and and they haven't. They
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: haven't won. They've gone for it, though, and they're gonna
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: keep going for it. And so that's that's kind of
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: that's kind of what the mindset of this team has been.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Randy Texas, Canada.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: What's up, brother, How you doing?
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: I'm all right.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: I just figured i'd talk a little football this time
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: as well a bunch of opinion stuff. Uh, I have not.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: I've been picking them up and putting them down this morning,
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: So I have no idea what I've been talking about.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: So I hope I don't go over the same stuff.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: But I doubt that you're You're an original. You're not
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: gonna copy anybody.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna try not to hear. But what well this
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: first one is, you know, rinse and repeat. But Dak,
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: the whole Dak thing. But I honest, now, this is
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: obviously my opinion. No one knows what the Joneses and Dak.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: But in my opinion, off of uh Dak's reaction on
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: the interview, I think it was at the baseball game,
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: at the Baton game when they ask him how to
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: feel that the Joneses are saying they want you to
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: be the quarterback. He kind of like his answer wasn't
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: exactly shining to me. So I kind of think that
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: Joneses are telling the media what we want to hear,
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: just to kind of keep us, you know, from acting
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: up and saying that they won't actually want that. I
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: kind of don't think they have any intention on refining him, honestly,
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: and they're just trying to keep everybody happy because they
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: know that they need to act to play this year.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: And why go into the season having a disgruntled quarterback
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: and saying all the wrong things of the media. That's
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: just me, because you know that's my feeling on it.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: That's just me, and that's about it.
• 48:48
  Speaker 13: On that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: You don't even have to respond to that, because that's
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: everybody's beating that one to death. But I would like
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: to give Jake Ferguson some love. That's my guy. I
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: think I'm really excited this year for him. I'm blocking
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: since he's coming. You know, It's funny, whenever he was drafted,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: I really didn't know anything about him, but I've really
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: liked his game and how he's come along. And if
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: you want to compare him to another cowboy, great this
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: fellow name Witt, and they the first two seasons went
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: and went from a three hundred and something yard up
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: to a nine hundred and eighty that's about six hundred
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: plus yard jump. Well, Ferguson's was like one hundred and
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: a half up to seven hundred and a half, so
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: that's like almost a six hundred yard jump. So the
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: numbers are pretty closed. And Jason didn't have near the
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: receiving corps around him to take the heat off of him.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Now Jake's got the receivers, you know, to keep everybody
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: busy so the target might come his way. So if
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: he can make that same kind of a jump to
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: the third year, I mean he could. He could push
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: a thousand yard season if everything goes right. And I
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: just he's got that attitude dude, like uh Kelsey does.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: I know everybody always wants to bring up Kelsey because
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: he set the bar and Rockley, so you know, he's
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: the guy on top right now. So and I like Kelsey,
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't, you know. I honestly I like
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs as my AFC team. It's not a bandwagon thing.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: I just like him because they were the original Dallas Cowboys,
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, so I just kind of always followed him.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: And uh but yeah, I thought I thought it was
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: because you're a big swiftie and and you just like
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: I thought that was a man I'm gonna get you
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: canceled if I say what I really want to.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not there we go.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I think I think Ferguson he does he has a
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: little Kelsey in him. I don't think that's a bad comparison.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, you know, he's got a little something
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: to him and uh yeah, and uh, you know, don't
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: don't don't try to like pull something you know, you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: past him, like he's he's a good guy, just like
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Witting a good guy. But you know, if it's if
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: it's time to you know, throw it down, I would.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: He is not scared at all. I mean he will
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: get in the face. And I saw one of your
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: little you know, by the way, I love the sideline
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: audio that y'all do. I did. I did notice that
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: you'll only do it on the winning games. It's kind
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: of funny how you don't put the losing games on there.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: But anyway, that's side point.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Let just tell you that is not my call on that. Yeah,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: my call.
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: I think it's probably a good thing. It's probably the
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: right call.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, is it probably Yeah, I think you
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: got creative. But yeah, but uh yeah, it happens. But
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: the numbers, if we were chasing numbers, we would definitely
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: put some of those out there because the numbers are
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: even even crazier when you when you lose.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but true.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: But what I'm gonna say is Ferguson was on the sideline.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: I think it might have been whenever he he took
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: on a block, somebody come after he caught the ball
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: and somebody come after him, and he laid him out
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: and he said I don't remember the exact quote, but
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: he said something about, yeah he's messing with a big
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: biscuit or something to that effect, you know, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: you remember that dude. That that cracked me up. And
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: instantly I was like, all right, I'm all in with
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: this guy. If everybody wants to keep using them, all in,
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: I'm all in with this fella. He's pretty good. And
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: I hope he sticks around and and I hope he keeps,
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: you know, doing what he's been doing and just keep
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: increasing his rolling like I said, he's got the receivers
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: around him to take the focus off of him. So
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: he's got a good chance at continuing what he's got
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I like I like his game a lot,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: and yeah it's really complete.
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: So absolutely. Well. How are y'all doing? How's your mama?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Neil?
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Everybody's good. Everybody's get up there in Texakana.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how about Chris's doing well?
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: You know, he says he's doing fine. You know, I
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: think he's good.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: He's good.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta be sitting. I got to send the
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: card up to Texican. I gotta be doing that quick
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: quickly here, yeah, exactly.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, we.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: Guys, you'll have a good one and uh, I'm just here.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: Get back with you on the next door around.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, Randy, good stuff. Let's get one
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: more caller in before we in the show. We got
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Jonathan in Fullerton, California.
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: Can you hear me?
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: How you doing great?
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: Great? I finally got through.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: Congrats on all your success.
• 53:25
  Speaker 15: You got all these callers hard in the minutes and
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: I was able to get through.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Nice. Well, we were glad you did. You're not first
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: time caller.
• 53:33
  Speaker 15: Though, right, No, it's probably like four yeah, maybe, yeah.
• 53:39
  Speaker 12: I just want to jump in with.
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: Guy movies. I wanted to give you two one great
• 53:46
  Speaker 15: one and one's so bad that it's great. Uh Snatch
• 53:49
  Speaker 15: have you seen Snatch? Guy Richie Movies? Okay, Uh, fantastic,
• 53:55
  Speaker 15: highly recommended, you haven't seen it? And Demolition Man, Well,
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: that's just alone so ridiculous.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: That I love it.
• 54:02
  Speaker 15: But anyway, I just wanted to ask who do you think?
• 54:06
  Speaker 15: And cut me off if he already talked about this,
• 54:09
  Speaker 15: who do you who's the starting running back? Like, what
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: do you think the lineup's going to be for the
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: running back as of right now?
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: I mean I would think Zeke as of right now,
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: But I still feel like I just I don't have
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: the answer for you. I just think something's going to change,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: and nobody's told me different. I just don't think that
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: it's going to be Zeke. If Zeke wasn't what you know,
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: it wasn't going to be the starter two years ago
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: and wouldn't be the starter for the Patriots. I just
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: don't think it's going to happen this year. But I
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: just feel like something else is going through surface.
• 54:46
  Speaker 15: I just don't have the answer, do you think we
• 54:49
  Speaker 15: have to we have the room for, like we have
• 54:52
  Speaker 15: to kick out someone in the running back.
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: Room because it seems yeah, probably pretty cool.
• 54:57
  Speaker 15: So I don't know when it gets time to like
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: the act the season, like how many running backs we're
• 55:02
  Speaker 15: going to have room for. And also with the new
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: special team's rule, we don't know like how many people
• 55:07
  Speaker 15: we need in itch peach position room and everything like that.
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: And this.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahe no, you go ahead.
• 55:17
  Speaker 15: I was just gonna ask one more question, Just say
• 55:21
  Speaker 15: what what position group gives you the most concern as
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: of right now? And then what position gives you the
• 55:28
  Speaker 15: least concern for us as of right now?
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, All right, thank you for the call, Jonathan.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: All Right, which position group is the least concerning you know,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: like safety? I mean safety is not really a concern
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: for me. I mean you got some you got depth there,
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: you know, Malie Cooker, and you got Dom and Wilson.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: I think one Yan Thomas is Is is going to
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: have a good season. I think Marquise Bell going back
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: to safety is going to be good for him. He'll
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: still play closer to the line of scrimmage like jay
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Ron Curse but I think, you know, he'll he'll be fine.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: I think Makuamu, you know, it looks like he can
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: you know, he might be able to help out as well.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: So I like safety in the running back room was
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: probably would probably be the one that I would think,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: would you know, just you just I just don't. I
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: just think something's gonna happen. I mean, I mean it
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: just I don't know, it just sounds if you just
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: just look at the running back room, I mean, it
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't sound like a group of runners, you know, like
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: a rap group or something. I mean, you just got
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: snoop Rico, Zeke and Deuce. I mean that just doesn't
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: see I mean, it just doesn't seem like that's your
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: that's your backs there, they're fine. I mean I know
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: I'm Elik Davis, and you know there's some others Hunter, Lipke.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: I just feel like something's gonna change it running back.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: So because I feel that way, I just that's the
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: one I'm going with. Let's go one more call. We
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: did get another caller and from Virginia Beach Jonathan and
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Virginia Beach, and he will be the final call.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Jonathan, what's going on? How are you doing?
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: Doing well. Man, glad I can get through.
• 57:08
  Speaker 12: I called them before from.
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: A different area, but I actually moved my family down
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: to the water, so I'm glad I could get that going.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, just have a quick question.
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: It's just a thought for since the draft and everything.
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: We had a good draft, I thought my question to
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: you is do you think the mindset of being a
• 57:30
  Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboy could potentially hurt our early draft pick? Like
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Tyler Gydon wanted to be here, his family is a
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: big fan. Do you think that could be a distraction?
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: And also not just as a.
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: Rookie player, but older like established players. Do you think
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: that coming here do you do you feel like there's
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: like a brand that makes you feel, you know, like
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: you don't have to be as hungry once you reach
• 57:54
  Speaker 7: success with the Cowboys. I want to get your opinion
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: on it.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that that mindset's good until the first the first
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: time that that you find yourself working on the scout
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: team with the third team tackles as a first round pick.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: You know, because you had that mindset and really quickly
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: everyone can see right off the bat you're not good
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: enough to play left tackle. I'm just doing an example
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: you're not good enough. And so now you're not going
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: to be the starter. You may play some games here,
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna play much in the preseason game. So
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty humbling experience. And all your family all excited,
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: everyone's looking to come to the games, and you're like, yeah,
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: it may not even be active.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty humbling.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: And so that'll change you really quick and make you
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: decide how much you really want to be a Dallas Cowboy.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Do you want to be a player or do you
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: want to be on the team. And so I think
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I think all that is good.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: I think it's a great mentality that that you that
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: the guy wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy and it
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: means so much. And you see his jersey and he's
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: about to cry and he's been his helmet, his star
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: on because that means it matters. And if it matters,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: yet it all matters on Sunday, Make it matter on
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Tuesday when it's your day off and you're supposed to
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: be watching film. Make it matter on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: If it matters so much, like you say, and I'm
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: not picking on Tyler gart guyton, I'm just saying if
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: it matters like it sounds like it does, he'll make
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: it matter to him and he'll be that left tackle,
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: and then that's the case, then it's.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: A good thing.
• 59:21
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I agree.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, well you got anything else?
• 59:27
  Speaker 13: Well?
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: The last thing is with Deep being back and being
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: number fifteen, do you think that he can kind of
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: tap into that old old ds with against the Steelers
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: in sixteen rue in the screens for like seventy sixty
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: yards or do you do you think we're going to
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: see more of the ladders when he was here picking
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: up first downs being three yards in the cloud of dues?
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: How long you been a Cowboy fan?
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: I'll say I'm going to start of being a Cowboys
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: fan in two thousand and six.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, good, Let me ask you this was Roy William
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: better as a safety when he wore thirty one or
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: when he switched his last year to thirty eight, which
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: was his college number.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: Which one was he better at thirty one?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think the number is gonna I don't think
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: the number turns back the clock a little bit. I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: don't And I'm not saying Zeke's not going to be productive,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: but I don't think we're we're in your college number
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: in fifteen is going to make you that much better.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: I think I think he's gonna get some opportunities. I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: think he's trying to prove people wrong. But at the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: end of the day, you know, I think he still
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: needs some help. He needs to be a guy that
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: has another back with him, just like he did two
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: years ago, and that was fine. He had ten touchdowns
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: he had, but eight hundred, nine hundred yards he was fine.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: He just needs another guy. Don't know who that other.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Guy is going to be.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: So you're right, man, I appreciate you.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: Thanks Jonathan, good good stuff, good calls for everyone. Got
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: twelve calls today, really good show.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: A lot of the uh.

• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: but we definitely had had some of the regulars, which
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: we love to have on here.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: So all right, we will be back next Tuesday. I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: think that's right.
