  Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Wednesday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: May fourteenth. It's time to talk some more. Cowboys football
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: got a big day. Obviously, we're going to find out
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: about the schedule. I guess that's a big day. You
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: could find out the order of the teams you're going
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to play. You know who you're going to play, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you right now you know just as tough or easy
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of those games are going to be, regardless of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: order of it. But a lot is always made of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the schedule release. To me, it's more about finding out
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: when you're going to be certain places, especially around the holidays.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: How you can make other trips where if you want to,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know, and go, you know, not on vacation, but
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: go watch I go watch the Cowboys play. When when
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: when does it you know, when does it fit into
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: your schedule? Just how it maps up, maybe with your
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: college team, all that good stuff. That's what I like
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to see about the schedule more than anything. But but
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know who you're who you start off with we
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: know that. We do know now who the Cowboys are
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: going to play on Thanksgiving against the Chiefs. That wasn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a huge surprise just because of the networks and how
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: how that typically works with CBS and Fox rotating. It's
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: gonna be Chiefs or Chargers for the most part, and uh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know and that that that's one where I'm a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: little surprised the NFL has actually started to go back
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that route when you have big games regardless, and you're
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: putting it on primetime spots like Thanksgiving like Week one,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: because Cowboys and Chiefs is gonna be big regardless. Cowboys
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Eagles is gonna be big. So you don't always have
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to do that, but you know, it maximizes an opportunity
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to have a really really big ratings you know number
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: there when the Chiefs come to town Thanksgiving will be
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of people obviously watching that one. All right,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: eight A A A five, five, two two nine seven
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is the number to call. We'll talk schedule what we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: know about it. There may be another game that's leaked
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: here in the next hour, so if so, we'll I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: sure you guys will probably know before me. All right,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: let's start it off on the phone, calls Robbie and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Coco Beach, Florida's up, Robbie, what's up?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: What's up? Nick?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm out fish today, man, Yeah, I'm on the boat.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I've already caught two redfish, black drum, a couple of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: little snooke.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: It's good day now talking to.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You football, nice nice, good good day.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And you're not getting a poem instead of talk about
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: George Pickens. No, thanks, Anthony Miami, I love.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: You, buddy.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I'll think he's coming up next.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Ah, good good. I've love glad to beat him. Hey, listen,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so can I just talk wildly for a second and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then go bout back to schedule.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: You're on the you're on the boat, man. You can
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: do whatever you want.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not drinking a beer yet, but it will.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You're not doing you can't do whatever you want, but yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you can certainly do that. What's up?
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Listen?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So you know we were twelve and twelve and five
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: for three years in a row.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I think that was.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Solid, right, always in the requests in the playoffs. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: last three years, right, really got hurt and damaged last year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, people say how bad we stunk and we did,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: but people forget how bad we are hurt. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we are just atrocious, well just about every cornerback, five
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: defensive ends, everybody or quarterback.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, why do they?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Why does everybody act like we're such a horrible team.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're missing pieces, but it sure
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: seems to me if like Tyler Geiden takes that next step,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: if Terrence Steele comes back to his form before the injury,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we know we got three good guards or three good
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: interior alignment now and Booker got it. Can't believe I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: saying this maybe a little better than later year Zach Martin,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: last last year, Zach Martin, how about that?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean, you know, because Da was hurt a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: lot last year and not playing up to himself and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: even said a couple of times it's like I feel
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like I wasn't playing up to my standard of one
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: or two of his interviews.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm not need to go there yet, just
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: with Booker.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I'm not excitement.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I understand the excitement. There's no doubt, but we're.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Not nearly as bad as everybody keeps saying. I mean,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we were decimated by injuries. Everybody seems to forget that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Everyone also sort of forgets about the Saints game, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, where.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: The Saints, Oh god, it was horrible.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, there's just no excuse for that. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and and there's not a ton of injuries there. Dak
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: was there, the Micah, those those guys, the core of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the team, not Bland, but the core of the team
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: was there. And the Saints turned out to be really
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: really bad and so right, and.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: We thought we're going to be really really good the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: way they beat us.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Right, right, So that's the one game that your point is,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you're not wrong, You're not wrong, but your but your
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: your point because I kind of see it. I you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I I look at people that say, well, I mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: this is probably a six win team, seven win team,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, it was a seven win team last
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: year with a lot of problems. You'd like to think
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: they're going to get better than that. And and we'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: see what the coaching staff how if they're better. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I feel like it can go two to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: three games either.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Way, and probably I agree.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think George, uh, what's the last name, pickens?
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Pickens?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I wanted to call him Perkins, you I want to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: say Kittle or Pickens. Yeah, I think he's a two
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: game wins for us. I mean I think that way. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a big strong I should be.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of games last year where the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: offense just couldn't get going and it was just CD.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It was just it was just CD. He had to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: be the one and and if they they bracketed him
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't get open, then it was going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: be a problem and all day long. And and I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: think Pickings should be able to help you with that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And hopefully they can run the ball better. I mean, oh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: they have.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: To be able to do that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my only concern about all this stuff.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I just said. My only concern is how or how
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: how powerful is our run game gonna be. That's my
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: only worry, I think. Well, I mean I have obviously
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: other worries, but yeah, but that's.
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: The only one.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hm, well, it seems a complete unknown. The
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: other ones. I mean, all right, our wide receivers look
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: all right, everybody else looks good. Okay, all that being said,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: back schedule. I'm glad we played Philly first game of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the year. Man, I like to bust it in their
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: mouth and not to in the dirt, you know what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, Well, help them and get it started from
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the beginning and just go okay, hey, look we can
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: play with these guys.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: These are the Super Bowl cans and we just whooked them.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Le's see how we can do against the rest of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the teams.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: If you what if? I don't, but just saying what if?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: What if you don't? Because it was seventy five to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: thirteen last year, So have they closed the gap in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: those games? We're gonna find out like that. To me,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it's just more of a benchmark. We'll find out early
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: kind of what what this team is. Maybe what the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Eagles are. I mean, yeah, the Cowboys will probably Thursday
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Night Football, they'll they'll bring it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to go over there and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: get punked. But but it's you know, they have the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: last two games against Philly, so that's that. I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: know if I love it, but you know, it is
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: what it is. It doesn't matter how about this.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: If we lose by three points or less, then we
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know we're in a good spot because that's what the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: home team usually gets from being a home team.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to bring up we don't have to
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: sit and talk about moral victories. But I've seen that
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: situation happen where you go and you you face the Buccaneers,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you lose by two on a lot of second field
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: goal to the defending champs Tom Brady, and then you
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: walk off the field going, you know what, we can
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: play We're all right, yeah, and then you go win
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: six in a row. So I've seen that happen. That
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: happen in twenty twenty one, and that's why I always
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: believe in in moral victories, not not that it's the standard,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: but it can help you if as long as it
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: propels you to go other places. All right, Robbie, have fun,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: catch some.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Good Oh, Nick, One more thing if I can. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: wanted to give a shout out to Randy. It was

• 9:32
  Speaker 4: heard a little something. You know, just just the schedules,
• 9:35

• 9:37
  Speaker 4: play them while they're trying to what. Don't get on

• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you know, hopefully we come away with a win, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: if we don't, you better not lose by no more
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: than one possession. And then you let the world know
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: it's the first game. Yeah, you let the world know
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: where you staying. And you go in there to the
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl chests on their night and smack them in
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: the mouth, you know, when you to talk about now
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: we got to chief some Thanksgiving, same thing at home.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Smack them in the mountain. Yeah, Oh daddy, that's all
• 10:24

• 10:27
  Speaker 4: and out right them in the mountain.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Right all right, here's the thing, Anthy, I appreciate the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: call good stuff, and I mean, you don't you don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: have to be scared. I mean, and as a fan,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you're not scared about it. That that's fine. It's not
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: about scared. It's just about are are they gonna be ready?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Are they gonna be ready to face the best team
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in football last year? And that's that's what it was.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: That they were the best team in football and they
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: were way better than the Cowboys last year. It's all
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that's all last year. This is this year. I mean,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: there's ninety one players on this roster and and there's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: thirty we talked. We talked about this last week, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: there's thirty coach just you know, out of one hundred
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and twenty, most of them are weren't here last year.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So it's a different team. It's a different team, it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a different staff, it's a different mindset's a different everything
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: other than the uniforms. So you hope that that those
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: are good changes, good things, and know that that Philly,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, the champs are the champs. I mean, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and they don't have to be the defending champs to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: be bringing it. You know that the heat there, they
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: hate the Cowboys, so yeah, they'll be they'll be ready
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to go. So it's not about being scared or not.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys just have to be to be ready. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: are they going to be good enough to compete The
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: last year that they weren't on that same level. They
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: didn't have their starting quarterback in either game, So you'd
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like to think you'd be better there. But you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'm when I say I don't love it, I mean
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: it's just like I don't I never really love those
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: division games like that to start the season, especially this one.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It matters so much. But we've we've seen it all that,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: we've seen it. When it works for you, when you
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: beat the Giants, you know, and you go want to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: know in the division great, you know, So it's it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: one of those things. It can it can be, it
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: can be great. I just want to know are they are.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Have they become a more of a complete team where
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: they can compete with them. I mean, because the Eagles
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: can throw the ball, they can run the ball, they
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and their defenses is nasty. You got to be able
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to compete. So there's not going to be a better
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: measuring stick for the Cowboys to start the season than
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: that one. So from that standpoint that that's a good thing.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Brian and Kansas City's next.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: Good morning, mister Eatman.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: Ah, excellent, man, excellent. I think I've been.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: I'm excited about opening against the best there is. You know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: I want to see, like you said, I would just
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: want to see where we're at. You know, all those changes,
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: draft picks, trades, put it all together, and you know
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: what do you get? So on our side, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: he can say, well, you know, we don't have time
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: to gel. You know, we're first game out of the gate.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: You know, we got to be at our a plus
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: game if we expect to win. But on the other side,
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: you can look at it and say, the Eagles are
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: going to have what McCarthy always referred to as the
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: unscouted look. They're gonna have one hundred percent unscottered look
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: because this is a whole new, whole new staff, a
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: whole new system on both sides of the ball that's
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: advent adjusts. So you wonder, you wonder what's gonna happen.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Have a new offense. I mean with Kellen Moore, I
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: don't know exactly what they're doing, but but I mean
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I know that they'll have a new coordinator there. So yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm just saying it's not right. It may
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: not be a huge advantage, but I hear what you're saying.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It's they're gonna look a lot more like last year's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: team than the Cowboys. We know that, So you're you're right.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: When it comes to unscattered looks, you'll probably you'll probably
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: see a lot more from the Cowboys.
• 13:57
  Speaker 12: So yes, yeah, absolutely, So my question for you this
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: week and I'll give you my answer is who has
• 14:06
  Speaker 12: to be either better than last year or better than expectations.
• 14:11
  Speaker 12: If you're gonna if you're gonna say a rookie, who
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: has to be better than expectations for us to take
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: the next step?
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: For me, I think it's hands down Tyler Geydon. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: just don't think there's any other answer. You got to
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: protect the quarterback's blind side, and I think that's the
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: guy you know that's got to be better than than
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: last year, better than expectations, and just better. So and
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: then I'll hang up and listen.
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: Brother, you don't have to hang.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Up and listen. I wrote it down before you even
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: said it. It's Tyler Godon. There's no doubt about it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It's Tyler Gaydon. That's the answer. Thanks for the call, Brian, Uh.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I mean honestly, I almost cut you off and said
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: other than Tyler Goydon, it's got to be him. He's
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the left tackle. They drafted him first round. He's got
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to be way better, not not just better. I'm going
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: asking you to take a leap. I'm asking you to
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to like do a triple jump, pole vault or whatever
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: maneuver way over there, leap. That's where he's got to go.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: That's that's you know, that's what the they ought to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: have at their left tackle, especially if they're gonna you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: if they're their middle is gonna be better. You'd like
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to think it's gonna be a lot better if Booker
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: can get in here and and BB can be better
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: in his second year, and Tyler Smith is Tyler Smith,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, the more that they could run
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the football, the better I think you're gonna be at
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: right tackle. I mean, I really believe if Terrence Steel
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: is playing downhill football and leaning on people, you got
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: these short little you know, look at these look at
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: these guys that are that are rushing the passer. They're
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: they're good, They're really good, but they're also kind of small,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you know. And so if it's Leard and eleven against
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the Giants, I don't I don't love that. I mean,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: look at who the Giants can throw out there with
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Carter and and is it Banks And you know you've
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: got you've got a Dexter Lawrence in the middle there,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and you've got the Thipodeaux on the other side. I mean,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they could put four pass rushers there get out a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: third and long. But if it's third and three, third
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and four and you want to put all those guys
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: on the field and then you could run at them,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: it's much better situation. That's where I think Terrence Steele
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: can be good. So I'll see Terrence Steele in that
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: category as well. Both those tackles. But the guy that
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: needs to really make that leap is one hundred tyler Guyton.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the one. So I think you're
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: on it there, all right, Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: is our next caller, Michael, what's up?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: Nick?
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: Hey, I'm gonna be really quick because I know how hard.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: It is to get on this thing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 13: I have two issues for two things, and I'm wondering
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: what your opinion is.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: First of all, we we had a wide receiver problem,
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: and now I think we have a different kind of
• 16:59
  Speaker 13: why receiver problem. We got c D is our WR one.
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: We got uh gen z dez Bryant is our w
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: R two. I mean, you you're probably gonna get tobered
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: as a free but you still you know, you still
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: got you know, school, uh tidy, you know Ferguson scoonmaker
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: you still, I mean, how are you going to get other?
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: I mean, Turpin's gotta get on the field.
• 17:27
  Speaker 14: It seems like we have.
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: A backlog now of wide receivers that that are really good.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I do you, I mean, do you
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: have a backlog? I mean like you have you have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Tolbert as a as your three. I think that's kind
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: of where he needs to be right and Turpin is
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: is going to be Turpin and and and I don't
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: mean that jokingly. He's gonna fit He's gonna get in
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: where he fits in. And it's sometimes it's going to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: be running the ball. You don't shot and high was
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: sort of the reason from what the under my understanding
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: was why he got the ball a lot more in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the second half. He was the cheerleader there for Turpin.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Do some different things with them. Don't be afraid to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: run him right through the tackles. I know he's little,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: but he's so quick. They haven't seen a guy like that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: You don't do it on the first play of the game.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: You do it in the second quarter when they're they're
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: they're used to dabble doing this. And your other runners
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you have Turpin changes
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: things a little bit, so Turpin is gonna just play
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: where he plays. I think it's a good situation. I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: don't think it's bad.
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: Because you got a few other guys. It's like, how
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: are they even gonna get in the game?
• 18:39
  Speaker 15: Right?
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:40
  Speaker 13: And then the other thing is the same thing with
• 18:43
  Speaker 13: running back. I mean, I believe the two guys we
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: drafted are are gonna both. I think they're both going to,
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: you know, start or play a lot. And then you
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: got two other dudes over here, you know, standards, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: I mean it, I think I don't think there's enough
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: room for all the running backs we have. I think
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: somebody's got to go.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think. I mean, we know who's
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: gonna stay, Okay, I mean we know we know of
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: those four, we know that that Jayden Blue is gonna
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: stay because he just gives something different that you don't
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: have with speed, elements, great out of the backfield too.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: They really love this pick, but MafA is going to
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: determine whether or not you keep one of those other veterans.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: If MafA is is is better than a seventh round pick,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and and he can provide something, then you'll probably you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you'll probably not keep both Williams and and Sanders.
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: So yeah, I think Mafa's gonna knock one of them out.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I think I could see that. I could see that happening.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: If anyone is crazy enough to play a fantasy football
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: in the preseason, I don't know if they do that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody does. And I'm picking up MafA because
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: MafA is gonna get a lot of snaps, a lot
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: of carries, and I think he's just the type of
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: back the way way you look at that he'll have
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: nice runs, nice game and Jayden Blue should as well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: But it'll be interesting to see with because Sanders is
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a lot more you know, he's an older version of Blue,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and I think Williams is a little bit older, a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: little bit older version. He's not old guy, but a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: little bit older version of MafA. And so it's kind
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of like, how do they play versus how these other
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: guys playing. And you got to remember too, a training camp,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: it's not like there's you know, the Oklahoma drill every
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: every stamp. It's hard to really evaluate runners in a
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: training camp practice because they all go to the house.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Everyone runs it all the way to the end zone
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and every fans cheered and all that. And because they
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: break at eighteen tackles, you know, fake tackles, So it's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: hard to really evaluate what a running back does until
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they put the pads on it. So that that is
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: probably your biggest dilemma trying to figure out what's gonna
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: happen here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Sorry for the ramt, Michael, Hey, and I ain't scared
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: of the Eagles in Week one, and.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't be. No one should be scared. I mean,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I get the point. I mean, let's go find out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go let's go see what happens. We know who
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: they are, we know what they're gonna do. Barkley's gonna
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: leap around people, we know they're gonna push. We know
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: what they are. And now it's just like, have you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: have you gotten to that level or anything close to it?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Because last year you were not.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: All right, Michael, I mean I I honestly I like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the I like the fans that are you know, I
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: like this this attitude. What it says to me is
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: there's a little bit of hope and and you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: optimism with this team, not about the Eagles, because you
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: know what they are, you know what they're going to be.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: They were a really really good tea and truth be told,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: they were a better team then the Cowboys even play
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: you know, they got better and better and better as
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the year went on. Now the Cowboys did play them
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: later in the season, but I mean they they were nasty.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, they absolutely dominated the Chiefs and that and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and so I'm just saying they they
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: were by the end of the year, they were really
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: really good. And credit to that staff, those players, Kellen Moore,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: all that. So they've got some changes to me, but
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: we know that they're they're going to be really good.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: But let's find out what the Cowboys are. And that's
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: what I think is the exciting part about what I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: hearing from the fans is that the fans are kind
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of excited about the pieces that they're seeing. And you know,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: George Pickens is a is a big part of that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I Mean, the Cowboys went out and added a wide
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: receiver to this mix. So all right, let's go to
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Daveyon in Illinois.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: What's going on? What it do?
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: My guys, how are you doing?
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I'm doing well? Man?
• 23:04
  Speaker 16: Uh?
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Happy? To finally get on. Man, it's been like I
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: was telling that Irene them, it's like the Hunker games
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: right now, dogs, like you know, just oh boy, I've
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: been drinking for the last couple of weeks. It's just
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: as hard as all get out, which is a good thing, yep,
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: for sure, but uh what, well, man, I guess since
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: it's been a couple of weeks, I wanted to finally
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: chime in or I wanted to say that I like
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: the draft, but you know, I really was loving that
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: George Figures trade.
• 23:36
  Speaker 15: Man.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I just needed that weapon because I was pretty pretty
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: pretty heartbroken. But we didn't get one in the draft,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: so I'm happy we got GP. I think he's gonna
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: be a nice one. Two combo. I think we got
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: our t Higgins to our Jamar Chase. With CD, I
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: think we're gonna be able to do some things. And uh,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: this run game comes around with Booking and Company, I
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: think we're gonna be all right. All right, I'm very
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: excited when they got announced that we're gonna be playing
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: the Eagles. Well I like to call them s Eagels,
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: but well, when we got announced, I was like, yep,
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: we should we should be geeked up, and we got
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: to see them watch drop their banner, and it should
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: really fire everybody up to go embarrassed them.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: That's that's what I want to see. I want to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: see embarrassments because that'll be the best chance to get them.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: They're gonna be so geeked up by winning the championship.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: It'll be in no time, like the President, to get them.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: So I'm hoping and praying that we stay healthy enough
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: where we can when we go on to that first game,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: it'll be ready to row.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Well. I love it. I love you. Guys are super
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: excited about it. I think everybody you know knows, you
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: know just how good they are. And like I said before,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: but but it's the it's the excitement of what we're
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: seeing kind of from the cowboys that that you know,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: let's a lot of us think that, hey, they're gonna
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: be better than people think they're gonna be able to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: compete on that level.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, what a quick question, what what what matchup intrigues
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: you the most? About our schedule? We know the opponents,
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: so what what matchive you probably intrigues you the most?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, you knows, there's great storylines on all of them.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel obviously Philly is the standard, so
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you know where where do they ranked there? Also Washington,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know, like Washington was was really good too. Now
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: they they are on par with Washington last year a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: lot more than others, at least from a matchup standpoint.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: So I'm I mean, I'm kind of curious about that
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: game to Washington and and you know where they where
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: they will you know where that game is here and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: some some rumors about where this game might might be played,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: and but you know later in the season. But still
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Washington is another one too, because they're also in your division.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: You play them twice, and you were able to compete
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: with them better. He probably should have beaten them twice.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: And I thought they were better than Washington in both games.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Didn't have a better record or finish, but I found
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: just playing the game that they were the better team
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: in both of the games. So we'll see if that
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: has changed as well.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: So all right, I'm about I'm about to go. I
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: just want to say to the other first and second teamers,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I'm coming. I'm coming for the supplied Just get ready,
• 26:31

  Speaker 4: Well?
• 29:46
  Speaker 16: I just seen the they got the two games that
• 29:49
  Speaker 16: come out and the Eagles, and now we see that
• 29:50
  Speaker 16: we're playing the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, and I mean, just
• 29:55
  Speaker 16: to start to have the schedule come out, we got
• 29:57
  Speaker 16: two big games to right off prime time. You know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: I don't think if you get any bigger than that,
• 30:02
  Speaker 16: like usually on Thanksgiving, you would want to play like
• 30:06
  Speaker 16: a team that you're like, all right, we're gonna have
• 30:08
  Speaker 16: a good Thanksgiving. We're gonna be able to for sure,
• 30:10
  Speaker 16: you know, but this year it's gonna be a nail
• 30:13
  Speaker 16: biter and it's just gonna make that turkey taste so
• 30:16
  Speaker 16: much better, you know when we do get that dove
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: so and then to beat the Eagles to start the season,
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: I mean, just to I hate them.
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: Down here.
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: We got this animal it's called a prairie chicken. It's
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: it's a chicken that lives on the prairie and they're
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: endangered and we're there.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: You can't mess with them.
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: And during certain times of the year.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: But that's what I call the Eagles.
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: I call him Perry Chickens.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: So yeah, so that's about it.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I just like talk crap about the Eagles
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and the little Perry.
• 30:47
  Speaker 16: Chickens and hopefully we get them. Yeah, you know, I'm
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: sorried about our second round pick. He looks like he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 16: gonna be easy, He's gonna be he could be something special.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he I saw a mock
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: draft the other day that I was watching a game
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I guess it was watching a game on NFL network
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: that was recorded, and it had mock drafts going. You
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: know how they have these mock drafts going all the time.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So this was a couple of days before the draft
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and somebody's mock draft I forgot it. Was it Adam
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: or was somebody Zerline And it had three first three
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Cowboys were on the first round picks, and as a
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Roku was one of them. So it was you know
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: that that just goes to show that some people kind
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: of had this guy in that in that range as well.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: So that's a good thing true, And I.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Was so happy to the Cowboys.
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: It seemed like they picked best player available. To at
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: least through the first right, a few rounds anyway, And
• 31:49
  Speaker 16: I mean, if you look back at their histories, anytime
• 31:52
  Speaker 16: they do.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Good through the draft, that's what they do.
• 31:55
  Speaker 16: They ain't reaching, I'm not trying to grab a tackle
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: when they shouldn't be grabbing a tackle or whatever the
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: case may be. You know, but hey, if you if
• 32:04
  Speaker 16: you can stack players and positions and get deeper and deeper,
• 32:08
  Speaker 16: there's nothing wrong with.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: That, so sure for sure. All right, well, good good stuff, Adam.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it, have it good, Thanks for calling, thanks
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: for getting through, and happy to have you on the storyline.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it going here hearing little bits
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: and pieces about the schedule coming through. I think there
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: was going to be another game announced at some point today,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: might be when we when we play Washington. Let's go
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: speaking of that area, Irene and Falls Church, Virginia is next, Irene.
• 32:44
  Speaker 21: What's up the morning.
• 32:46
  Speaker 22: It's taken a while to get back on here, but
• 32:48
  Speaker 22: it looks like davey On was my full back, cleared
• 32:50
  Speaker 22: up the lines for me. I got in on a
• 32:53
  Speaker 22: Bury Church number of calls, so that that works nice.
• 32:56
  Speaker 22: So last time I called was the extra Draft show
• 32:59
  Speaker 22: you did, and it was I guess I called before
• 33:01
  Speaker 22: you announced the team, So thank you for naming me
• 33:04
  Speaker 22: a captain and team mom. That's awesome.
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: At the back of you, you are special.
• 33:09
  Speaker 22: I don't just make you feel sad. You are special.
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: There you go.
• 33:13
  Speaker 22: So I didn't get to talk about the draft as
• 33:15
  Speaker 22: a whole the last time I was telling you that
• 33:17
  Speaker 22: Booker was thermal socks. But my favorite draft pick was
• 33:21
  Speaker 22: actually the second one, because I didn't see that one
• 33:23
  Speaker 22: coming at all. But I love the idea of you know,
• 33:27
  Speaker 22: you have Micah build on that turn like he is
• 33:30
  Speaker 22: the strength, but give him somebody else to pair them
• 33:32
  Speaker 22: with and just unleash him, maximize his potential by taking
• 33:35
  Speaker 22: a little attention off of him.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 22: You know, I don't know how year one's gonna be,
• 33:39
  Speaker 22: but that production's unreal, So I think that tends to
• 33:43
  Speaker 22: translate pretty well. We'll see, we'll see where he gets
• 33:46
  Speaker 22: in year one, but I'll love it. And then my
• 33:49
  Speaker 22: question flash comment for you and just hear me Out'm
• 33:53
  Speaker 22: not trying to knock anyone, but do you think that
• 33:55
  Speaker 22: this front office trusts Schottenheimer more than they have have
• 34:00
  Speaker 22: the last couple of coaches since ourselves. And I say
• 34:04
  Speaker 22: that because he seems to hold a lot of weight
• 34:06
  Speaker 22: in drafting these character guys who love football, and I
• 34:11
  Speaker 22: don't think they do the George Pickens trade without you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 22: him signing off. And I would think maybe even Dak
• 34:18
  Speaker 22: signing off.
• 34:19
  Speaker 16: And I will say that with George Pickens.
• 34:21
  Speaker 22: It sounds like, yeah, there were some issues. Sometimes we'll
• 34:24
  Speaker 22: get a penalty and game we thought against Jordon Lewis,
• 34:27
  Speaker 22: but his teammates are the locker room seems to like
• 34:31
  Speaker 22: him and he's saying all the right things. Now, I mean,
• 34:34
  Speaker 22: we'll see. I know that frustrations gon occur if you're
• 34:37
  Speaker 22: not getting the ball and your team is losing, So
• 34:39
  Speaker 22: we'll see. But I love I love the pick, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 22: you know, if they sign him again, and that's what
• 34:44
  Speaker 22: I would hope for, but if not, they'll probably get
• 34:47
  Speaker 22: their compensation back. So why not see if this will work.
• 34:51
  Speaker 22: And then one last thing for Randy. Awesome hearing from him,
• 34:56
  Speaker 22: and you know, just keep getting better. You know you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 22: still in our prayers and thoughts, and talk to you
• 35:00
  Speaker 22: soon now, all right, Thanks Nick, all right.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Touch to good Thank you, Irene, good good stuff. Yeah,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: my uh, just an update there. My mom actually saw
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Randy this last weekend and went over there, brought some
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: food over to meet him and his and his wife
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and kids, and they lived probably twenty minutes away in Texas, Canada,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: and so was able to go and visit with him.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I FaceTime with him Saturday afternoon. So, uh, he was
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: up at about I think he said, Randy said he was.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: He wasn't supposed to be that day. He was supposed
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: to be taking it easy. But he did say he
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: was on the tractor earlier that day. That was probably
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: against doctors orders there, so you know, let's be smart
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: about it. But you know, he's probably Randy's going to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: be Randy, I think. But it was good to see him,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and you know, that's that's my mom, that's that's you know. Now,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying she's gonna she's gonna be going to
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Florida or Bowling Green, Kentucky, Kobe's or fall seorch Virginia.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, she might if she could, but
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that one was made a lot of sense and it
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: was it was really cool that they were able to
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: do that. So all right, let's uh, let's go to
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: me answer that question a little bit more Friar and
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: was talking about pickings and yeah, I mean in Schottenheimer,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: do I think Shotenheimer, you know, gets a little bit
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: more all right now, now not let's nobody wants to
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: hear this, but let's just let's just say it. Okay,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Schottenheimer's not saying or doing anything really different than what
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Jason Garrett did. You guys may not like that. We
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: heard the same thing. It's called the right kind of guy,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the guy that loves football and all that. I mean,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Garrett said the same thing. Garrett got to do some
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: of some of these things as well. Garrett got to
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: pick the guy he wanted. They hadn't picked that offensive
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: lineman in the first round in thirty years until Garrett's
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: first draft. Guess who they took Iron Smith two years later.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: They hadn't taken a center in the first round in
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: over thirty years. Thirty two years. They take a center
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the next year, a guard. I mean, Jason Garrett got
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: to pick some of his guys and they were the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: right kinds of guys. We heard it before there as well,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and it was and I'm sure we were all excited
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: about it just the same. And I'm not trying to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: knock Schottenheimer at all, and I'm not trying to knock
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Jason Garrett. I'm just saying that these are some of
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the things. That's what happens when you're a new coach.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: You want them to succeed, You want your team to
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: do well. This is what this is why you picked
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: him as the head coach because you like the strup
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: that he told you in his interviews and how he
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: can get this thing turned around. So give him the
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: opportunity to do that. And that's kind of what's happening.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: What I love about this whole last couple of weeks
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: is great character guy captain drafted this guy captain, captain,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: captain this guy right here. Ooh, maybe some character concerns
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: in for this trade, but man, he sure can play. Okay, good,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: we haven't lost sight of guys. Can you play football?
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Are you a good football player? Can you be dominant? Yes,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll figure it out. That's why you build culture,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: That's why you have leaders like this. So when you
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: do go and get a guy like George Pickens, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's one way or another. We just
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: know what we've heard and some of the stuff we've
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: seen and sounds a lot DEAs like and great. I mean,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: if he's if he's like Dez Bryant, awesome. You go
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: out and make some great catches, but you got to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: have some guys in the locker room that can, you know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: temper them. I mean DeMarcus ware Was was one that
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: could do that, and he could, you know, he he
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: kind of had Dez Bryant's ear and say listen, hey,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you know, I love it, love the enthusiasm, but let's
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: control it a little bit, you know. If that is
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: the case, but that's why you have great team leaders
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: and locker room guys so every so more guys can
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: fit in to it. I mean, that's what that's what
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: happened thirty years ago with Charles Hayley. He was able
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: to be him and he fit into the locker room
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: because but more and more importantly, he went out and
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: he balled out on the field and then it was
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: worth it. And that's that's all it comes down to,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: is is Pickens worth it? And you know, for Pittsburgh,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: it sounded like over three years now they were ready
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to move on. But we'll see, you know, we'll see
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: what it looks like here in Dallas. All right, let's
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: go to uh Ronnie, uh No, John and Delaware, John
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: and Delaware what's up?
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: So excited for this season. He finally made the moves
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: that would usually make smart moves in the draft and
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: then getting pickets to get help for Cebe Lamb. They
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: just saying, you can't cover with both of them.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: I no, yeah, it's it's uh it's a pick your
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: poison offense for sure it is.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: And I'll tell you what, Like the Lost callers said,
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: I don't think that the Eagles are gonna be ready,
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: but we got coming out.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you don't think the Eagles will be ready
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: for the Cowboys.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: I don't think that they're gonna be ready for what
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: we have to offer this year. I think that they're
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: gonna come in and they're gonna look fast. That's because
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: everybody knows how we were last year. The Eagles like
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: to hold on the past. They say, we like hold
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: on the past, the past and the little Super Bowl
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: whatever they've done in the past. But we've owned the
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: division for many years. They're just now getting pieces of pot.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it's it's been one that's gone
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: back and forth, and the you know, the the winners,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: you know, the first place team, and the division has
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: has changed, you know, for over twenty years. I mean it,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: it happens every year. So there's been a lot of parody.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: You say this about about Philly or whatever. I mean,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I just don't think they will be overlooking him. It's
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the first game of the season. Uh, I don't think
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: it'll be overlooking. I think if the Cowboys go in
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and win the game or play really well, it's because
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are better.
• 40:54
  Speaker 21: They're better exactly. That's that's that's what I was trying
• 40:57
  Speaker 21: to say. Yeah, and the other thing was my goal
• 41:01
  Speaker 21: for next year is to get all the story the
• 41:03
  Speaker 21: story likely all right, all right, hopefully I can call
• 41:06
  Speaker 21: enough times to probably get it.
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: I think I called about.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: All right, well there we go, you gotta here you go.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Uh No, and we love that, you know, and there'll
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: be a lot more of this is once a week
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: when we get to we get to training camp. I
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: think it'll be like every other day, so two to
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: you know, three to four times a week maybe and
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: then and then when we get really two to three
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: because we really don't do weekends. But uh but then
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: we get to the season will be every day, so
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: a lot more opportunities for a lot of you guys,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: and and and you know, I'm sure there's people that
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: got left off the team that probably call even more
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: than the ones that make it. You know, there's I wish,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I wish we could get everybody in more. But but
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the dedication. I know it's not easy to
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: keep going there.
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you with Chris for going to be in
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: all the bus weekend.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: All right, well, I appreciate it. Thank you. It's John
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: in Delaware.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Now we can move on to right down the road,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, Ronnie in New Jersey, right right down a
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: few roads. It's amazing to me. How like, you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: when you live in Texas, if you live in Dallas,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: like you can't get out of the state in less
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: than an hour and a half two hours, you know,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: you it'll take about an hour maybe hour to get
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: out of the state. But you can drive up there
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: for an hour. You can probably hit four states. You know,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: it's just different.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna take a while.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, I'm just saying you could go
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: from like New Jersey to New York and can in Delaware,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: like like within like forty five minutes.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: I believe No, yeah, yeah, actually yeah, all right.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Who cares? Sorry Roddy, what's up?
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 42:55
  Speaker 15: Uh?
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: You know how you were? Nobody's scared of the Eagles. Man,
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: it's not being scared. I actually, but I'm going the
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: other way. I wanted to warm up, you know what
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. Like I wanted to kind of warm up.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: It's like when you get up to bed. I'm in
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: my forties now, So when I get up bed, if
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: I get off too quick, you know, take a misstep,
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: you're gonna feel like a little pain in your back
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: or your leg whatever, muscle pain for like a it
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: could be for a couple of days, you know what
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. So, so like I would have liked to
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: warm up, like get this offense click and get the
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: offensive lines to start to gel. Like everybody thinks like
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: it's they're assuming like, hey, the old lines is gonna
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: click right away. No, man, the old lines and stuff
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: like that, it takes a little while. Hope their old
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: line is set. They've been set for like a few years.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: So that's where I see where it's gonna be a
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: little bit more difficult. Everybody thinks this game is going
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: to be easy like that. It's not going to be
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: that easy. No game is gonna be that easy. But
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: I would have preferred, you know, playing somebody else on
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: the first game of the season, and yeah, that's a
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: plan game. I would have prefer seeing them after where
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: our offense is clicking, you know what I'm saying, our
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: defense starts to develop a little bit more chemistry and
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: stuff like that. So yeah, that's the only thing about
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: that game. But I ain't scared of the Eagles. I hate.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: That's my That's the team I hate the most. I'm
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: from here from Jersey. A Giants suck. I ain't got
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: no worries. Hey, I would have preferred to as boring
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: as that game is, I would have preferred to play that.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: I hate seeing the Giants the first game of the
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: year too, just because I know, hey, it's gonna.
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: Be a boring game.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: We're gonna beat them, they suck, whatever, But I'd rather
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: get that win under my belt and and you know,
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: warm up to the situation before we play the Egles.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, that's my take on it. But I
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: was trying to call you last week too to speak
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: about our new receiver. Yeah, he's the number one. He's
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: not all number two. Everybody's like, oh, you know, no, No,
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: he's a number one. We have two number ones. The
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: other guys, they're he's not gonna make them better. They're
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: gonna get better because they're gonna play lesser competition when
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: both of them are on the field. That's that's that's
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: how he makes them better. But we got two legit
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: number ones. I hope he's in the back, uh backyard,
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: him and and our two running backs, those two rookie
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: running backs, like you said, because I don't see Sanders
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: being on this team with these guys. Uh yeah, So
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: that's that's the only thing I'm looking for. That and
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: the nose tackle, nick I would love for them to
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: still add a nose tackle because everybody's forgetting our weakness
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: has been it hasn't been offense. Yeah last year, but
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: it hasn't been offense. There's been run defense. We need
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: to fix the run defense. And that's my take. Thanks
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: for taking my call, nick I hope to listen to continue.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Listening to the sounds good. Thank you for the call.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Ronnie appreciate that. Yeah, I mean the past versus you know,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I said it earlier about it as about you know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: thes have some undersized pass rushers that could be really
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: tough off the edge. You know what's gonna help is
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: to be able to run the ball. Well, you know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: let's not forget the other side. You know, the Cowboys.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Teams could look at the Cowboys and say, well they
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: have Micah Parsons. They have you know, and if Asaraku
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: is in that mix to it, you know, he's he's
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: not the biggest defensive end. He's he's he's he can bend,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: he can get around the edge. He's gonna cause a
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: problem on third and long. But uh, you know, being
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: able to stop the run for those type of guys
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: is never easy because they get up the field quick.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes teams let you get up the field and run
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: run behind you. So how good are the linebackers, How
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: good is the defensive tackles. That's where this team has
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: got has got to come in and really be good,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: so be better, be better than than what they have
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: been in the past. So that's what iber flews. That's
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest challenge is figure out you know this this
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: defense and get it turned around. Utilize the playmakers that
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: you have, and you know, come up with a with
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: schemes that that can stop the run and stop the bleeding.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Lee in Florida.
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: Good morning, sir.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: How are you doing pretty good?
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: Buddy?
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Miss you.
• 47:08
  Speaker 21: I'll have a few thank you and then I'll.
• 47:11
  Speaker 14: Ask you a question and I hang over. Listen, Namone.
• 47:14
  Speaker 14: I'm so glad that Randy is doing better. But I
• 47:18
  Speaker 14: really want to thank your mother. I just want you
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: to pay attention to what I'm saying. If I have
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: a surgery and somebody like total the Stranger come and
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: visit me, it gives you a boost to live for life.
• 47:33
  Speaker 14: That is absolutely godly things to do and you shouldn't
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: go unnoticed. Thank you to your mom. And really that
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: was it was just like totally floor. Second, I want
• 47:46
  Speaker 14: to thank Chris. You know, he has a seven and
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: eighth show, and that said, this is the only show
• 47:52
  Speaker 14: he has to answer the phone. The other one he
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: can do with something background. And thank you to Chris
• 47:58
  Speaker 14: for all his hard work.
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: Well, the second and the third thing, I love the trade.
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: I'm so excited about this trade. We're all gonna be
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: surprised and that My question for you too is this,
• 48:11
  Speaker 14: every writer, they never picked Cowboys to be the first
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: opening game. I remember I tracked it, so the NFL
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: picking Cowboys against Eagle. Actually it does do us a
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: favor because Eagles is gonna be brand new offensive coordinator
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: and they're gonna be the weakest part of the season
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: body and injury, and Cowboys are refocused, energized. I think
• 48:38
  Speaker 14: Cowboys gonna win it. I'm gonna get your opinion. And
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: I love to order like sixty Philogelphia cheese seak at
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: the end of the game. They can sit in the
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: middle of the field and eat it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: Love you buddy, thank you, talk.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: You late, thank you, appreciate it. You know, you can
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: look at that two different ways. You know, as far
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: as the Eagles are, are they to be as good?
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: You know, our first game this season? I mean, who
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: what are the Cowboys going to be? You know what,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: what does what does it look like here when you
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: have a new staff and you go back history, you
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: know shows it's we've seen first year coaches win right
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: off the bat. You know, we've seen them lose first game,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: you know, and we've we've seen the Cowboys go and
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: and and also fade. Not with the first year coach.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: But we've seen the Cowboys face. You know, they seem
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: to farewell, you know lately in in games against the
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: defending champs. That first game, I know they had the
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Bucks on the ropes, lost in the final second. So
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: of that game back in twenty twenty one, found out
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: earlier in that day that they weren't playing with Zach
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Martin who had COVID and couldn't play. And you know,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: they they still figure out a way. Dak was coming
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: off that big injury then year before, and they they
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: I mean there was that was a really big game
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: for them. Even though they lost, they they played well
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: and I think it propelled them for the rest of
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: the season. And then you know, back to twenty twelve
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: when they went on a Wednesday night game. It was
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: that Wednesday night game against the Giants and that Kevin
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Ogletree game, I guess you could say, and uh it
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: was you know, that was another one where Giants coming
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: off of you know, the Super Bowl, and the Cowboys
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: went in there and won the game. So I you know,
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: we've seen it happen and I think they'll be prepared
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: for it. I mean, but they'll be ready, no doubt
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: about it. They'll be ready. And I think the good
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: thing is whoever Week two is. I always say week
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: two is a huge game. You don't know if you've
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: heard me say this before. Week two is always a
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: really big game when I look at the schedule, because
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: I'd like, what type of team are you going to be?
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be the team that's that's oh
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: to two? Did you lose the first game and now
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be O to two? Or did you win
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: that first game and now do you want to just
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: be one and one and have those days that we
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: saw under Jason Garrett a lot? Are you going to
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: be take advantage of it, take that next step, stack
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: wins together. Week two Week one can be emotional game,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it's not always how the season's gonna go,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: but you better get figured out by week two. You
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: better be able to do something there and to have
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: ten days to prepare for it after a Thursday game,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: at least I say ten days. I'm I'm assuming it's
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: a Sunday game. Could be doubt will be another Thursday,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: and probably not a Monday, so you'll have about ten
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: ten days to prepare for it, and that that'll always
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: be a really big game, you know, from in my opinion,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: so especially coming off of this because say the Cowboys
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: go up and beat Philly, say they they shock everyone
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: and win that game, Well, don't come back the next
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: week and then, you know, make it, make it not
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: count for anything, stacks of wins together. So Week two
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: is always a really big game for me. So when
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I look at the schedule, so I'll be anxious to
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: see that one as well. Let's go to Carolina. He's
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: in Shreveport driving right now, Carolina.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: What's up, whatsome? Man?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Here we go?
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: You doing good?
• 51:54
  Speaker 15: Good?
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: I got to start the show off, right man. I've
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: missed it because I've been sleep but I'm up now. Die,
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: Eagles die. That's what we need to happen. That's what
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: has to happen. Now. The way I think about it is, now,
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: you know we got to play them twice, right, and
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: you know how hard it is to be the team twice,
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: So we need this. We need this first win. I
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: don't care about the last game. I don't care because
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: we got to play them in the in the playoffs.
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: That means they're gonna have to beat us twice. That's
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: the way I look. All simple as that, right, So
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: we need to come out with this win.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: I've been hearing a lot of people say, you know, oh,
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: we got this new receiver, but we can go to
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: the NFC championship. Man, I don't think people realize how
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: tough it is in the NFC right now. We got
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: the freaking Rams, we got the Lions, I mean their office,
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: the defensive line is crazy. And then I'm not going
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: to hype up the what they called the Commanders too
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: much because we beat them with Cooper Russians. So I'm
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: not too much worried abo our division stacked. Man, it's
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: not going to be easy, especially with like you said
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: earlier before I got the phone, first year head coach.
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: I mean, you expect the NFC championship his first year
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: and we haven't been there in thirty years. It's crazy.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: I just at least want us to win a game
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs a couple if the most divisional routes,
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: you know, I mean, I just I just don't see
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: it being a Super Bowl year. I mean, anything happened
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: in football, you know, it changed any given day, it
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: main's changed. But like they said, man, we're not going
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: to really find out to this who this team is
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: until about I say, week three, week four. We will
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: find out what type of team they are. We'll see
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: how they're yelling and how our plays, and that will
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: tell us what we have for this year.
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: I'm super excited. Man, I'm super excited. We get Birds
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: the first game. Oh man, that's going to be a
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: heck of a way to start to see it. I
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: just needed to go out play game, all right. That's
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: that's all I want. Man, all Right, I think I
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: think that's that's that's about.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: It for me.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I like how you guys are. You guys are feeling it,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: you know. And again that's what I've said several times
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: during the during the show. I think it's just a
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: testament to what's been done already. I think when you
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: look at what this team can can do this year,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: there there is some some uh you know, optimistic viewpoints there,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: but some a lot of things have to go right
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: for this team. And and last year, you know, a
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: lot of things didn't go right for this team. But
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just injury. They they there were some some
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: issues on with the coaching staff. It didn't gel with
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: the players. Some of the players did not take the
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: steps necessary. Put that on them, put that on the
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: coaches or both. So it's not just an injury thing.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: And and and I I do think the injuries were
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: way more than than usual, especially the key key players.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Your your your fourteen Pro Bowl players that you had
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: on your roster that had made a Pro Bowl before,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: fourteen of them, eleven of them missed a couple of games.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. That's a lot for your key players
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: that you're counting on. So you'd like to think that
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: that's not gonna happen as much. But still you have
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: to be better prepared when it does. So hopefully this
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: team will be able to do that. But all right,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: let's keep going. I bet Rob in Vegas has some
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: opinions about all this.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: Rob. What's up, Hey, Nick?
• 55:28
  Speaker 17: How's everything good?
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 55:30
  Speaker 20: I'm good?
• 55:32
  Speaker 17: Listen. I think it's great you open with Philadelphia. Yeah,
• 55:35
  Speaker 17: I mean, the weather's going to be good. It's better
• 55:38
  Speaker 17: than playing in December. You get a mini bye after
• 55:43
  Speaker 17: that team and we've seen it. We've seen it last
• 55:47
  Speaker 17: year team team looked great week one and then look
• 55:52
  Speaker 17: terrible week two. So and then you know, so it
• 55:55
  Speaker 17: doesn't I'm not saying it doesn't matter, but Week one
• 55:58
  Speaker 17: isn't gonna make or break to season. But at least
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: we'll see where at you're all pumped. Why not why
• 56:04
  Speaker 17: not take on the defending Super Bowl champs?
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, and.
• 56:08
  Speaker 17: Usually if when Dak is healthy, they play good against Philadelphia.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, that is fair.
• 56:15
  Speaker 17: And yeah, you, George, I'm sorry, No, no, you're you're
• 56:21
  Speaker 17: You're one.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Hundred percent right. And and I didn't my own point
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: about the week one Week two was sitting right in
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: front of me. You made it for me. I didn't
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: even I didn't even say that because last year is
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: the most perfect example of what I'm talking about. Go
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: up to Cleveland and play like that and beat them
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: down like they did, and then go and play the
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Saints the next week, and that was a recad of
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: what this team is going to be. The week one wasn't,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Week two was, And that was the problem.
• 56:50
  Speaker 17: And let's face it, the guy that stirs the drink
• 56:52
  Speaker 17: is is Dak Prescott like it or not? Yeah, well
• 56:56
  Speaker 17: we're going to see is he closer to the Duck
• 56:59
  Speaker 17: from a few years ago. That was in the MVP
• 57:01
  Speaker 17: conversation against one of the you know, the defending Super
• 57:04
  Speaker 17: Bowl champs or is he closer to the guy that
• 57:07
  Speaker 17: played the first you know, five games or so last year?
• 57:11
  Speaker 17: So you know, now you got George Pickens, who listen,
• 57:15
  Speaker 17: this is there's a great pickup. I don't care about
• 57:19
  Speaker 17: I should say I don't care about character guys, but
• 57:22
  Speaker 17: the best players in histories of any league have that
• 57:26
  Speaker 17: carrot issues. You don't even have to just look at
• 57:29
  Speaker 17: the Cowboys in the nineties. I mean, come on, they
• 57:34
  Speaker 17: you know, Michael Irvitt, I mean he's got these were
• 57:36
  Speaker 17: great character guys. But I don't care. As long as
• 57:38
  Speaker 17: you show up and do your job, you're not going
• 57:40
  Speaker 17: to jail. I don't really care what you do off
• 57:43
  Speaker 17: the field. My favorite play of all time was Lawrence Taylor,
• 57:46
  Speaker 17: and we know what he was doing. You know, he's
• 57:49
  Speaker 17: the greatest other so and I got to give Steven
• 57:52
  Speaker 17: Jones some credit. I'm not a big fan of his,
• 57:56
  Speaker 17: but it's his team now, and I'm glad that they
• 58:01
  Speaker 17: turned around. This was his first head coaching pick. Yeah,
• 58:06
  Speaker 17: this was his guy, and I'm glad that he said,
• 58:09
  Speaker 17: you know what, I don't want to look foolish, So
• 58:11
  Speaker 17: I'm gonna I'm gonna surround him with talent because if
• 58:15
  Speaker 17: this guy comes out in the Cowboys a bed for
• 58:17
  Speaker 17: a couple of years and now we've got to go.
• 58:19
  Speaker 17: This coaching higher reflects on Stephen. It doesn't reflect on Jerry.
• 58:24
  Speaker 17: And so I'm glad that Stephen realizes that and saying, listen,
• 58:28
  Speaker 17: I got to get him weapons. And we've seen when
• 58:32
  Speaker 17: Dak has two really good wide receivers, like when Amari
• 58:35
  Speaker 17: and CD you look really good. And I think Pickens
• 58:40
  Speaker 17: maybe even better than you know, Cooper was at that
• 58:45
  Speaker 17: time in their careers.
• 58:46
  Speaker 11: We'll see.
• 58:47
  Speaker 17: But now let's Philadelphia, you know, let's go. Let's see
• 58:52
  Speaker 17: where we're at. As a fan. Come on Thursday night.
• 58:55
  Speaker 17: You waited six months for football, and you're gonna get
• 58:59
  Speaker 17: in front of the TV with your popcorn curse and
• 59:01
  Speaker 17: like crazy, and you just hope you don't get blown out.
• 59:05
  Speaker 17: That's all because if you do get blown out, yeah
• 59:08
  Speaker 17: that's that's bad. Then you know that gap hasn't closed.
• 59:12
  Speaker 15: But I don't.
• 59:12
  Speaker 17: I don't see that. I don't see that happening.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't either you know, I think that
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: they've got to figure out how to run this football.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, because all these other weapons should
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: help with that, but still they don't help you at really,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: when it's third and two and you got to get
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: these yards, you've got to figure out how to run
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: the football. And if you can do that, control the
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: game a little bit, get that offense off the field,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: and then you have a football game. So to me,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing run the football.
• 59:42
  Speaker 15: But I love that go ahead rob that running back
• 59:45
  Speaker 15: that they drafted.
• 59:46
  Speaker 17: You know now that they drafted it pops up on YouTube.
• 59:49
  Speaker 17: I see is highlight. To me, it is just starting
• 59:51
  Speaker 17: running back Blue. I don't know why people say he's small.
• 59:54
  Speaker 17: He's like two hundred and fifteen pounds.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: He's right, he's not small.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: And yeah, I'm at smith was.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 17: I mean, this guy is two fifteen and runs a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 17: four to two. I mean, to me, he's that's the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 17: guy that needs to be on the field. The others
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 17: are when he needs a break. But no, you run
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 17: that dude, because he that's what you need. You need
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 17: a guy that could take it to the house from
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 17: anywhere on a field. That was the difference with the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 17: Eagles last year with Barkley.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a second round pick. That he's a blue
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: what I've been told is like a second round pick
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: if he didn't have some fumbling issues. Now, I'm not
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: dismissing that that's that's not a thing that that that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: causes problems, There's no doubt about it. Sure, But if
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: it can be fixed, then if that can be fixed
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: and it's been proven that you can fix that there's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: then then then there's a lot of other backs that
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: don't have fumbling issues. They can't run a four to two,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: you know that they don't have that. So I'll take
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: my chances on fixing this and having the speed. Whether
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: this guy there doesn't fumble and can't get him to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: a four to two, that happening. So I like my
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: chances with this guy. And I love some of the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: things you said about what the playing the Eagles and
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: some of the advantages that you see there. So good,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: good call. Good to hear from you. I know you
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: didn't call last week with picking, so I think a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: lot of people like to hear what you have to
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: say about that kind of stuff. So ROB appreciate the call.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, here I'll hear from you maybe next week,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: if you can get through. I never hear Rob talk
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: about getting through is some issues like that. I think
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: he kind of he's figured out how to kind of
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: master it. What he said about Steven and Schottenheimer and
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff. It reminds me. I don't
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: know if you guys, I'm a sap for like those
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Disney sports movies. I mean, I love them all. They'll
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: sit there and watch every one of them, and then
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: they'll say, because you watch this, you might like this one.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if y'all have seen the movie Glory Road.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: It's about the nineteen sixty five team, the Texas Western.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Texas Western are now you tip. It's a great movie.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: I love it and love the story. There's a part
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: in there where he he the coach tells this point
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: guard that wants to run, wants to be do all
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: things his way, kind of crazy, and he wants a
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: little bit more structure. And he says, all right, I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: want you to play your way and I want you
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: to play my way. And and I think he kind
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: of figured it out, but he's like, you could play
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: the way you want, but will also doing it this way.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: That's what I think of when I think of Stephen
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Jones this offseason. All right, well you want to you
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: want to do it this way, you want to be
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: free agency? All right, we'll do a little bit more.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: We'll do more than than we when we have. We'll
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: make a lot more trades too. We're gonna be a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: little bit more active. We're also going to do things
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: this way too. Look at the draft, we're sticking to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: the board. We're gonna go board board bored. This guy's hurt,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: can't play this year, but he's really good board. Okay,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Well do we do we need?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: That's what happened with the defensive end. It was like
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: which one do you want? We want the corner or
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: we want I think it was just two corners, Which
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: one we want? Which guy do you like bettert of
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: these two corners? And it was like, well, I kind
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: of like it, But the guy I like the best
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: is this pass rusher from Boston College who's still on
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: the board. Oh okay, and he's highly rated board, you know.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, so.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Stephen, from what I've seen, is doing it maybe in
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: some ways that I think Schottenheimer, maybe Will McLay have preferred,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: but also keeping some of the structure too. Doing it
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: your way, doing it my way at the same time.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: You can do that. I think you know you can
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: make some progress here. So all right, let's let's go
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: one more break here real quick on Cowboys storyline. Will
• 1:03:36

• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phone lines here. Let's see what
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Keith in Fernandina Beach, Florida has to say. Keith, what's up?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Nick?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: How are you good?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: What's going on with you?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 11: So, Nick, I'm probably gonna say it sound like everybody else.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 11: I'm excited about the season starting in Philly. I love
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 11: the fact that this team needs to watch a Super
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 11: Bowl celebration. I think that's good for the team. I
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: think the team needs to see that. So I think
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 11: the schedule makers did as a huge favor. So I'm
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 11: again probably saying the same thing that everyone else has.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 11: But the other thing I want to mention this is
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 11: totally off the left field. I was so excited to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 11: hear about that. I wanted to watch a Cowboy team
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 11: that just was awesome. So I put in the nineteen
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 11: ninety two NFC Championship game and obviously been forever since
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: i'd seen that game, and it was amazing just just
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 11: watching that game and obviously all the Hall of Famers
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: or whatever, but I just I just wanted to see
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 11: like the Cowboys at their best, and I believe that
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 11: game was probably one of the best games I've ever played.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 11: And anyway, so I just want to get your thoughts
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 11: on that game and your thoughts on the schedule makers
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: and what they did for us.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thank you for the call. I think there's
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of aspects to this, you know, like that
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: That's one of them too that I didn't necessarily think about,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: is just the just being there and seeing the celebration.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Those Eagle fans love that, they love, you know, the
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Cowboys have to sit over there and and see that.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: But it'll also amp it up a little bit. It'll
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: it'll it'll intensify that game even more. You'll put fireworks
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: you'll do all that stuff, and you know it's the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: most anticipated game and the world's watching in Schottenheimer's debut
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff. So, man, I think that that Cowboys,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: you know opener, if if you have it in you,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: if if they are anywhere close to that level, then
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: I think they'll play well in that game, and I
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: think it'll be a good game. If you're just not
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: good enough, you're not good enough, and in over sixty minutes.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: It kind of happens. When you look at the Cowboys
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Eagles games from last year. You know they're playing with
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: backups and all that. Both of those games at midway
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: through the second quarter, if I remember correctly, we're both
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: pretty close, maybe even one score, and I think Philly
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: scored right before the half both times. That kind of
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: pushed it from a six point game to a thirteen
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: point game. Whatever second half was just over. They couldn't compete.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: And so you know, that's if you're not good enough,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: you're not good enough. So that's what's what's excited to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: kind of see, uh there and then and then the
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: other game that we know about two Kansas City on Thanksgiving.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: You know, that's the big thing there is is it home?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Is it a true home game? Because that's you know,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: because Kansas City is one of those teams, you know,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: those AFC teams that plays here every eight years. Now
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: because of the way the league schedule is now, you
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: can play you know, every few years too if it
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: works out right. You know, the couple's playing the Chargers
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: now a couple of times. You know, they've played the
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Patriots a few more times in the rotation. But you know,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: every eight years, the Chiefs are coming to town. They
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: haven't played here since twenty seventeen, and so here it is.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: And the Chiefs are one of those teams that they
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: travel well, they'll have a lot of fans. They're going
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: to be good, we know that, and so that'll be
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: an interesting game because you know, there will be a
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: lot of a lot of whatever color that is, orange, red, mix,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: whatever that is. There'll be a lot of cheap fans
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: in the stand. So you know that that won't be
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: the easiest game there. But you but you know that
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: every year every time you Denver comes to town, Pittsburgh
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: comes to town. You know, the Green Bay from the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: NFC is the same way. But but those teams that
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: have really strong fan bases, and they don't come here
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: a lot. When they do it, it's it's gonna be
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: you know, you'll hear them, just like you hear the
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Cowboy fans just about everywhere they go on the road
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: as well. All right, Lester, and Minnesota has been waiting, Lester,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: what's up man, Good.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 20: Morning, good morning.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: Next how you doing.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 20: I'm doing good man. I've been trying to get in,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 20: but I finally got in. I'm trying to get in
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 20: the last three weeks. But I'm glad I got in
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 20: on the Pickens pick up. I think that's great, man.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 20: I mean I looked up his attribute. Man. He got
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 20: to catch radius of like a ninety eight out of
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 20: one hundred. So anyway you throw the balls on that
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 20: man can go get it up own sideways later or whatever.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 20: So that's gonna be a good That's a great pickup.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 20: Thank you, Jerry, thank you whoever picked him up.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 20: And as I always talk about the offensive and defensive line,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 20: I think the offensive line is coming coming around. That's great,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 20: but we still need to do a little bit on
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 20: the defensive line. We need a d tackle man, a big,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 20: a big greasy as Nate would say, but overall, I
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 20: think we had a heck of a draft. I think
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 20: where we had a heck of a free agents pickup,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 20: trades everything. Man, I give him an aide, and as
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 20: I always say, man, until we get a good to
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 20: very good offensive a defensive line, this is what we got.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 20: Cowboy fans go that pick up was great.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean I hope, I hope so, I
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: hope he is everything that that you know he has been,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: you know, from a highlight standpoint. Now you also hope
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: that there's a little bit more maturity there. And you know,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: being traded by a team that's saying, hey, we don't
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: you know, we think we'll be better off without you.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, is that humbling? Does he take it that way?
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Does he take it as a fresh start? Does he
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: take it that hey, I've got to change something. Who knows,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, who knows what happens here. It's a different situation.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I was looking up stats the other day,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, he had two touchdowns of sixty six
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: yards or more in a game. There's only fourteen thirteen
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: players in the NFL history have ever done that. They
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: had two touchdowns of sixty five yards or more. One
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: of them was eighty six and another was a sixty six.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: He did it twice in the game. And you know,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph was the quarterback. Nothing against him, but he's
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: not a starting quarterback really. I mean, he's not a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: guy that is considered a QB one. He has been,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: but but that's he's not that guy. And so, you know,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: but he he was able to get pickets the ball
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: and pickts makes him play. He's he's gonna play with
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: a quarterback that's that's better than I think he's played
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: with before. He's gonna play with a receiver on the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: other side that's better. And so you know, I think
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: that he's got some advantages here. Hopefully it turns out
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: to be a great move. But but remember, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: there's people in Pittsburgh that are like good, good riddance.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: And and if it's that guy that the Cowboys are getting,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: you know, if it's fifty to fifty, then there's gonna
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: be some challenges here. But you hope that when he's on,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: he's really on, and if so, I think he can
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: really help. Okay, Larry and Kansas is next. Larry, Hey,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: how are you doing good? How are you doing.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 15: Man, it's good to get on. Yeah, I was gonna
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 15: I was gonna start a deal where I come up
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 15: with a player's number. How many calls it took me to.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Get in, but yeah, over one hundred.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they don't hand out triple digit numbers. It's all good.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 15: I got in. Hey, I didn't get in last week.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 15: Everybody calling about the pickings deal. I love it obviously.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 15: First off, I said from the beginning, if you're going
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 15: to go spend your number twelve pick on a wide receiver,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 15: you can't be getting a number two wide receiver. You
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 15: got to go get a number A guy that is
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 15: the number one and teammate made have been there, been that,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 15: but he wasn't there, so it doesn't matter.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so love the pick.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 15: You get it for a next year's third, and you
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 15: very very very likely recoup that third if you don't
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 15: get to resign him. Love love the pick, Love the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 15: pick trad. Sorry, what I want to talk about real
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 15: quick is here. Once again, the Cowboys have done a
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 15: front office, done a great job of putting together a
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 15: absolutely top notch roster. But what we've seen so many
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 15: times is by the time December rolls around, the roster
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 15: is not near as strong as it was when the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 15: season started due to injuries. I don't know how we
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 15: fix this. We suffer from this more than you know
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 15: these other teams that we're competing with that like it
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 15: or not, they do play on grass.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 15: The other thing that comes into play here is do
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 15: you realize that right now the Eagles have a guy
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 15: named Layne Johnson playing for him, playing at a Pro
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 15: Bowl level at thirty five years old. Now, Brandon Grant
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 15: wasn't playing at a Pro Bowl level last year but
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 15: still playing very, very meaningful snaps. He was thirty five
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 15: years old. Over before that, we had Jason Peters played
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 15: for them until he was forty. Then we also had
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 15: Jason Kelsey play passes. When was the last Cowboy played
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 15: at a really high level past thirty.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: Five that wasn't a quarterback.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's just and even our quarterbacks don't last as
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 15: long as something's got to. You've got to figure out
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 15: how to protect the work you've done and get the
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 15: long term health out of the whole season that these
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 15: other teams seem to be getting.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: Somehow other teams for other teams or you name the Eagles,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, is this other teams or just just the Eagles.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: Well, have you done it?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that's a that's a good set. I'm
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: just curious, is it is it proven that it's a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: lot of teams and it's just not Dallas or is
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: it just Yeah.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 15: It does seem like when we go to the playoffs,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 15: we're playing a team that's more healthy than we were.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 15: Let's go to the last Cowboys playoff game, that Green
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 15: Bay game. I'm sorry, if those teams were still playing,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 15: I don't think that Cowboys defense would have stopped the Packers.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 15: Yet they scored touchdown every time they got the ball
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 15: because we had one linebacker. And I don't blame Jerry
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 15: for that. Jerry listens to his coaches and gets some
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 15: what he wants. I'll never forget dan Quinn. When Overshowing
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 15: went down in the preseason, I thought it was irresponsible
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 15: for them to only have three linebackers that could play
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 15: on the roster. When Overshowing went down, I'm like everybody else, Well,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 15: now they got to go get maybe probably two guys.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 15: And they asked Quinn that question, and I don't know
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 15: if you remember what he said, but it just shocked
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 15: me to my core. He said, Now, in my defense,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 15: the safety does the same thing as the outside linebacker.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 15: They covered the curl and the slant. Oh my god,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 15: does he not realize why we lose in the playoffs
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 15: because we can't stuck the run. And you notice in
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 15: Washington last year they had a good year, but they
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 15: had a bad run defense with those two stud defense
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 15: of tackles and two great linebackers. So yeah, but yeah,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 15: it seems like the Niners are always more healthy when
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 15: we are at the end of the season. And here
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 15: once again, Tyron Smith and Trent Williams the very similar player,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 15: but Trent Williams playing at the super high level very
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 15: late in his career. Tyron didn't make it till thirty
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 15: three before he was breaking down.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 12: Well.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, only thing I'd say about that is when did
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Trent Williams start. I don't know. I mean, Tyron started,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: but he played till later when in age Well, I mean,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: but Tyron was twenty when he got here. I don't know.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: If Trent Williams was twenty three when he got there,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: then it's that's probably watch again. I don't know that,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: but I know Tyron Smith couldn't drink a beer when
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: he first started with the Cowboys. So he started early too,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: and he played a long long time and he broke down.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. What you're saying is it
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound like it's wrong. I mean that there's something
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: to it, and I definitely see it with with with Philadelphia,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: with those big linemen. I don't know if it's a
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: trend for the rest of the league, but it is
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: something certainly to look at for sure.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 15: The Packers, these teams that play on grass seem like
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 15: they're always healthier at the end of the season. And
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 15: and I would love somebody that has the access to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 15: the data to go back and compare how many guys
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 15: we got an injury reserve every at the end of
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 15: the season, and compare these other major teams. We're competing with,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 15: the Eagles, the Niners, the Packers, and they all play
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 15: on grass.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 15: Well, and I promise you we got way more guys
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 15: on injured reserve standing on the sideline and street clothes
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 15: than they do. I guarantee you when you crunch the numbers,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 15: that's what you'll end up with.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: All right. That sounds good, Thank you.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: You know that.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: That's that's an interesting stuff. I mean, you know, you
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: you're you're talking about you know, and they practice, you know,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: on grass most of the time. That's where they practice.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking about games of eight games for sure,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: eight or nine games at home. That's a that's a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: difference during the season, and you know, that's what you're tackling,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: so that that could be something to it. And then
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: also let's not forget that the World Cup is coming
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: to AT and T Stadium, uh, you know next year.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: I actually went to a soccer match last year and
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: the weirdest thing I saw, and the whole thing was
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: was a sprinkler system in the middle of the AT
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: and T Stadium watering the grass, real grass in there.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: So it'll be done for soccer. We'll see if it's
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: something that that that it could work for football, if
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: it's needed, if it's necessary, if they they you know,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: feel that that could happen. I know there's other teams.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: I think Arizona has grass that they they put in there,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: So if that is a thing, I mean I think
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: that there's the technology has advanced to the point where
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: you can you can necessarily do that. So anyways, good stuff,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of good, good, good points and opinions made today.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: You guys did great.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 16: Uh.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: The schedule will come out later today. There's gonna be
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: a live stream all day long. They'll be doing a
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: lot of crazy things. You'll see Micah c d Osa,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Tyler Smith will be a part of that, you know.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: And then then the schedule will be announced later in
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: the day. This this afternoon, I guess, will be the schedule.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: But we'll see some more games coming out here later
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: this day. I think the Cowboys have another game that's
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: going to get announced here sooner than later. All right,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Evan. We'll see you next
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: time on Cowboys storyline.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 5: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
