- 0:21Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
- 0:24Speaker 1: February the fifteenth, and we've got a full hour, maybe
- 0:30Speaker 1: even more depends on if the calls are coming in
- 0:33Speaker 1: calls and texts. We've got a full hour or so
- 0:36Speaker 1: to talk Cowboys football, talk anything you want, NFL free agency,
- 0:41Speaker 1: anything really if I'm not really that well versed in
- 0:46Speaker 1: a lot of topics, but I can certainly talk about Cowboys.
- 0:49Speaker 1: What we've got going on with some new hire with
- 0:52Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer now officially the defensive coordinator, had his press
- 0:55Speaker 1: conference yesterday. If you haven't seen that, you can watch
- 0:59Speaker 1: it on our website, Dallas Cowboys dot com. And uh,
- 1:02Speaker 1: if if it looks a little different, it's because it is.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We got a different logo back there. Uh uh, I'm
- 1:08Speaker 1: always looking for a pen. I mean, there's there's one
- 1:11Speaker 1: right there. I thought it was pretty cool they did
- 1:13Speaker 1: guys in the back. We got talented people that work
- 1:15Speaker 1: here that that kind of whiped that together, probably took
- 1:18Speaker 1: them about like five minutes to do that, but uh,
- 1:21Speaker 1: pretty cool. I like it. It's a Cowboys storyline where
- 1:24Speaker 1: we're changing all the time around here and trying to
- 1:26Speaker 1: get better every day. All right, eight at A eight
- 1:29Speaker 1: five five two two ninety seven is the number two call? Uh, Chris,
- 1:34Speaker 1: put that text line number up there. I haven't memorized
- 1:36Speaker 1: it just yet, but what you can definitely send some
- 1:39Speaker 1: text messages as well. All right, let's get to the
- 1:45Speaker 1: phone line. Uh, we got We'll start it off. We've
- 1:48Speaker 1: got Vancouver, Washington. Marco is in Vancouver, Washington, Marco. What's up?
- 1:53Speaker 5: Hey, how you doing?
- 1:54Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
- 1:56Speaker 4: I'm doing good?
- 1:58Speaker 5: Well.
- 1:59Speaker 6: A couple things that I just want to touch on.
- 2:01Speaker 4: One was Mike Zimmer and then the other one was
- 2:04Speaker 4: just a quick comment about the draft, and I think
- 2:06Speaker 4: they kind of go together. Okay, but yeah, I'm glad
- 2:10Speaker 4: to see Mike's back in the building.
- 2:13Speaker 7: You know.
- 2:13Speaker 4: On a personal note, I've been falling in since since
- 2:17Speaker 4: his day's WSU. His actually tenure there eighty nine to
- 2:21Speaker 4: ninety three were the years I went to school there.
- 2:24Speaker 4: So when he became a Cowboys coach, I was always
- 2:27Speaker 4: always kind of took a little pride in that especially
- 2:29Speaker 4: how long.
- 2:30Speaker 1: That's not Washington State, is it? That's yeah, Washington State.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Why did I think he was at Weaver State? Sorry,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Washington State? Okay, god, yeah, yeah, he was there with
- 2:40Speaker 1: coach Price.
- 2:42Speaker 4: In fact, he just stuck around another year. And if
- 2:45Speaker 4: actually we would have got blood though to stick around
- 2:47Speaker 4: another year, I think we might have won the national
- 2:49Speaker 4: championship because the year after Bloodshell left, the defense I
- 2:52Speaker 4: think was like the top of the country. But anyways, yeah,
- 2:57Speaker 4: it's good to have him back. I've a couple of things.
- 3:00Speaker 4: I know we're going to bring in some players, probably
- 3:03Speaker 4: some linebackers through the draft, free agents, and I one
- 3:08Speaker 4: thing I'm kind of hoping for or hoping we don't
- 3:11Speaker 4: do it in the draft is repeat what I think
- 3:14Speaker 4: is the worst draft picked ever, and that's the Bobby Carpenter.
- 3:18Speaker 8: Yeah type draft. But as far as other free agents
- 3:23Speaker 8: or actually even players on the team, so Mike's kind
- 3:27Speaker 8: of known to be, you know, demanding and up front,
- 3:31Speaker 8: I'm wondering, Uh, there's any players that you're maybe concerned
- 3:34Speaker 8: about having a you know, personality entitlement type conflict with
- 3:39Speaker 8: his coaching style.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, you know what I wrote a
- 3:45Speaker 1: story on that yesterday that that was actually my my
- 3:48Speaker 1: story on the website about Zimmer and so I can
- 3:54Speaker 1: kind of address that you have anything else or is
- 3:57Speaker 1: that it, Marco?
- 3:58Speaker 5: No, yeah, I think that's it.
- 3:59Speaker 8: I I guess maybe you're just your comments too.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Although on Bobby Carpenter.
- 4:04Speaker 1: If you have any any say it.
- 4:10Speaker 8: I think he's actually the worst pick.
- 4:13Speaker 4: You know, people talk about Taco and of course it's
- 4:16Speaker 4: kind of relived here with with Mazi, but I think
- 4:19Speaker 4: I think Mike might be able to do something with Mazi.
- 4:22Speaker 4: All right, So, but yeah, I'm concerned about especially because
- 4:26Speaker 4: people are talking about getting a linebacker in the first
- 4:28Speaker 4: round and uh yeah.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, sometimes thanks for the call, Marco.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you can't just be worried about that
- 4:37Speaker 1: pick because that's a position where you know you can
- 4:41Speaker 1: get decent value there. Not everybody wants to take a
- 4:44Speaker 1: linebacker that high. It's kind of like the center position
- 4:48Speaker 1: where you might take you know, you might get one
- 4:51Speaker 1: of the first or second ones off the board just
- 4:54Speaker 1: because it's not considered high high value. Tied end used
- 4:57Speaker 1: to be that way, and I think I think that's changing,
- 5:01Speaker 1: I really do. I mean, I think the way if
- 5:02Speaker 1: you can get a difference making tight end, it changes everything.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing Kansas City do it. And you know,
- 5:09Speaker 1: I mean, if you just look at the teams that
- 5:11Speaker 1: made it into the final four, you've got tied end.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've got four of the best
- 5:18Speaker 1: tight ends I think. I mean, litle Porter will get
- 5:20Speaker 1: himself in there. I think that's how good he was.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I mean, but everybody's got a really good tight end.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So anyways, but my point is his linebacker would I
- 5:27Speaker 1: wouldn't be afraid to take a linebacker there just because
- 5:29Speaker 1: it didn't work out with Bobby Carpenter. I don't know
- 5:33Speaker 1: if I want to tell that story, even though I
- 5:35Speaker 1: wrote it. I wrote it in the book, the book
- 5:37Speaker 1: If These Walls Could Talk, you know, if you put
- 5:40Speaker 1: it out there, I just think it's fun I'll tell
- 5:42Speaker 1: the story. It's it's funny because Bill Parcells coached his dad,
- 5:46Speaker 1: Rob Carpenter, is a running back for the Giants, and
- 5:49Speaker 1: in like the early eighties, and so and he had him.
- 5:51Speaker 1: It was a tough, big, bruising running back slash full back,
- 5:54Speaker 1: and and and so he you know, he wanted him.
- 5:59Speaker 1: He was one of the guys that really really wanted him.
- 6:02Speaker 1: This was the six draft. I guess this is Bill's
- 6:04Speaker 1: last draft, and so, you know, I don't know if
- 6:07Speaker 1: all the scouts wanted him, but he did. He wanted them.
- 6:09Speaker 1: And then by middle of the year, it's not going well.
- 6:12Speaker 1: He's not playing a whole lot and he and he
- 6:16Speaker 1: was like, I guess, according to some scouts, he was
- 6:18Speaker 1: kind of complaining about, you know, if I can get
- 6:20Speaker 1: this guy to play well, and they said, man, I mean, Bill,
- 6:24Speaker 1: you wanted him. You're the guy that wanted him, you know,
- 6:26Speaker 1: And He's like, I know, I know, I thought I
- 6:29Speaker 1: was drafted. His dad ended up drafting his mom. And uh,
- 6:32Speaker 1: you know, I think everybody laughed. I think he was joking,
- 6:34Speaker 1: I think, but it was kind of funny. I guess,
- 6:37Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Joe and Stanford.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Hey, how you doing, sir?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Hey Joe, good to talk to you.
- 6:44Speaker 9: Glad you got home back to Las Vegas. Really torn
- 6:48Speaker 9: up over the over the over the number twenty eight.
- 6:53Speaker 9: What's in?
- 6:54Speaker 5: Uh? But yeah, but anyway, it is what it is.
- 6:57Speaker 5: He'll get in.
- 6:59Speaker 9: So real exciting about Mike Zimmer. I think the things
- 7:03Speaker 9: that I talked about a few calls ago, the lack
- 7:05Speaker 9: of accountability, discipline, toughness that I really think have have
- 7:11Speaker 9: really hurt this team for a while. I think he
- 7:15Speaker 9: is like, I don't know the medicine for that, if
- 7:18Speaker 9: you could think about it that way, I think, of
- 7:22Speaker 9: course the players are going to have to, you know,
- 7:24Speaker 9: want to take that medicine. But I'm confident that that
- 7:29Speaker 9: Mike can get him to come over to his side.
- 7:32Speaker 9: He's a great coach. One other thing I've been following,
- 7:36Speaker 9: you know, the reporting on our losses of defensive line coaches,
- 7:42Speaker 9: specifically Durden and Floyd, and a lot of people have
- 7:45Speaker 9: been talking about how we've made a mistake and we've
- 7:48Speaker 9: lost some great coaches and how you know, we should
- 7:51Speaker 9: have done more to keep them in this and that
- 7:53Speaker 9: this is nothing against those guys. I really don't know
- 7:56Speaker 9: him that well, but I'm missing the overachieved of that
- 8:01Speaker 9: position that would lead me to believe that these guys
- 8:05Speaker 9: are some.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Big loss exactly now, you're right, Well, let's let's let's
- 8:09Speaker 1: also clarify. They didn't make Aiden dirty Adam dirty, sorry,
- 8:14Speaker 1: and they didn't make him the defensive coordinator here. They
- 8:17Speaker 1: decided to go outside the building and go with Zimmer.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And then by not doing that, they can't block him
- 8:24Speaker 1: from going to being a defensive coordinator. So that's where
- 8:26Speaker 1: he's going to. Seattle's the defensive coordinator. Because they didn't
- 8:29Speaker 1: make him here, they can't keep him as their d
- 8:31Speaker 1: line coach. Uh, So that's that. And then Shreie Floyd,
- 8:36Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. He was quality control,
- 8:39Speaker 1: quality control slash assistant defensive line. Quinn loves him. That's fine,
- 8:44Speaker 1: you know. And and and Zimmer didn't, probably doesn't know
- 8:47Speaker 1: him at all. And well, no, no, no that's not true
- 8:49Speaker 1: because I think they drafted him honestly in Minnesota. So
- 8:53Speaker 1: he's a Quinn guy. He wanted to go with Quinn.
- 8:56Speaker 1: He got in the league with Quinn. That's where he's going.
- 8:58Speaker 1: So they didn't block that.
- 9:00Speaker 9: Yeah, I just the narrative, you know, I say on
- 9:04Speaker 9: X and I follow pretty much all the guys who
- 9:07Speaker 9: report on the Cowboys regularly and you know a lot,
- 9:10Speaker 9: and the narrative has been all we really lost some
- 9:12Speaker 9: you know, we really took huge losses with those two guys,
- 9:15Speaker 9: and like I say, nothing personal gives those guys. But
- 9:17Speaker 9: I really don't see it that way. So yeah, I'm
- 9:19Speaker 9: looking forward to seeing who Mike can bring in to
- 9:22Speaker 9: really improve those young men.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I agree, all right, thanks good Banks for the call, Joe, Uh,
- 9:27Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to kind of hit on that.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And then also something that the first caller said, Marco
- 9:32Speaker 1: had talked about with the you know, how he's going
- 9:34Speaker 1: to relate to these young players, and I mentioned the
- 9:36Speaker 1: article that I wrote yesterday. I thought something that that
- 9:38Speaker 1: Zimmer said that was very very good to hear was that,
- 9:43Speaker 1: you know, he's not concerned at all about that, you know,
- 9:45Speaker 1: can he handle these younger players, can they handle him?
- 9:48Speaker 1: And he said his understanding has always been that the
- 9:51Speaker 1: great players want to be great, and they want to
- 9:53Speaker 1: be coached. They want to be coached hard. And and
- 9:57Speaker 1: you know, we heard Woodson talking about it last week
- 10:00Speaker 1: week or so when he when he said, you know,
- 10:02Speaker 1: that's that's something you know that it was humbling for
- 10:04Speaker 1: him to kind of hear some things. I thought it
- 10:07Speaker 1: was weird that Zimmer mentioned three players, and all three
- 10:10Speaker 1: of those players ended up playing for the Cowboys at
- 10:13Speaker 1: some point. But he he said, you know, three guys
- 10:17Speaker 1: that it sounded like they kind of, you know, they
- 10:19Speaker 1: got sideways every now and again early on and maybe
- 10:23Speaker 1: they didn't see I to eye, but at the end,
- 10:26Speaker 1: now there's nothing but respect that these guys love them.
- 10:29Speaker 1: And then you know they they they wished him, you know,
- 10:31Speaker 1: good luck, and he said pac Man Jones was was
- 10:34Speaker 1: that way when he had him in Cincinnati for a
- 10:36Speaker 1: long time. Uh, he said, Anthony Barr was. It was
- 10:40Speaker 1: another player. And of course I'm I'm blanking on the
- 10:43Speaker 1: third player that that that he mentioned. I'll think of
- 10:46Speaker 1: it here in a second, but uh, it was it
- 10:48Speaker 1: was another guy that ended up ended up with the
- 10:49Speaker 1: Cowboys as well. But you know he had Terrence Newman
- 10:53Speaker 1: that that wasn't one of them, but was pac Man. Yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 1: pac Man was one of them, I said him, and
- 11:00Speaker 1: and Anthony Barr And then there's there's the guy Xavier Rhods.
- 11:03Speaker 1: That's right, good job, Chris. Xavier Rodse was was another
- 11:06Speaker 1: guy that that you know, he was here for like
- 11:08Speaker 1: an hour and a half a couple of seasons ago,
- 11:10Speaker 1: trying to figure out the cornerback position, even though they
- 11:12Speaker 1: had drafted a second third round of that year, but
- 11:14Speaker 1: still they had to go outside and try to get
- 11:17Speaker 1: players and just try to see if they could get
- 11:19Speaker 1: anybody to help on that that season. But but those
- 11:21Speaker 1: were all guys that were good players, you know. And
- 11:23Speaker 1: Zimmers talked about another guy he didn't name names, but
- 11:26Speaker 1: is it another another player that he said never never
- 11:29Speaker 1: wanted to be yelled at. He couldn't do it and
- 11:31Speaker 1: in front of the team, and so he had to
- 11:34Speaker 1: kind of alter that a little bit. So let's don't
- 11:35Speaker 1: just let's don't think that these coaches don't adapt as well.
- 11:40Speaker 1: You know that, Yeah, this is their style, but they
- 11:42Speaker 1: also they're trying to get the best out of these players.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And it's it's just like you guys have kids. You
- 11:49Speaker 1: guys know your your kids are different. You can't treat
- 11:52Speaker 1: one the same as you do another. You can't treat
- 11:55Speaker 1: players the same. They don't get paid the same, they
- 11:57Speaker 1: don't play the same They don't you know that, they
- 12:00Speaker 1: don't play the same amount. They don't, you know, so
- 12:02Speaker 1: they they are treated differently, and so sometimes you have
- 12:05Speaker 1: to do that. And I think I think the really
- 12:06Speaker 1: good coaches are ones that can understand that. Uh, for
- 12:09Speaker 1: the most part, he seems pretty you know, hard as nails,
- 12:12Speaker 1: and and that's that's his approach to getting the best
- 12:15Speaker 1: out of players. So I think I think that's going
- 12:17Speaker 1: to be fine. I really do. And if you know,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you guys are worried about a certain guys or whatever,
- 12:24Speaker 1: I I honestly believe if if they can't handle Mike Zimmer,
- 12:27Speaker 1: then they're not really going to be able to be
- 12:29Speaker 1: that good, you know. So but the elephant in the room,
- 12:33Speaker 1: let's just say it, I mean, elphan in the room
- 12:35Speaker 1: is Michael Parsons. How's this gonna work? How's Micah gonna
- 12:37Speaker 1: work with him? And all that? And I think it's
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'd like to see, you know, that they're gonna meet
- 12:42Speaker 1: if they haven't already. And you know, I thought Parsons,
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, Zimmer did not really go too far into
- 12:48Speaker 1: the you know, the weeds on where he's gonna pay him.
- 12:50Speaker 1: He said, I hadn't even talked to him yet. I
- 12:51Speaker 1: want to talk to him. I want to see what
- 12:53Speaker 1: he thinks. I want to see, you know, I'm going
- 12:55Speaker 1: to tell him what I'm thinking. Plus, you know, they
- 12:56Speaker 1: got to still get the staff together, so a lot
- 12:58Speaker 1: of moving parts still. But I thought it was a
- 13:01Speaker 1: good first press conference and you know, just just some
- 13:03Speaker 1: good understanding of hey, you know, he's not he's not
- 13:07Speaker 1: this guy that's this this mean, you know, mean spirited
- 13:10Speaker 1: person that just is his way or the highway. I
- 13:13Speaker 1: think that. I think he's he's you know, there's a
- 13:15Speaker 1: lot of give and take there. That's why these players
- 13:16Speaker 1: love them, you know, the ones that even the ones
- 13:19Speaker 1: he has been really hard on, uh in the years,
- 13:21Speaker 1: in the past years. All right, let's go to Brian
- 13:24Speaker 1: in Kansas City.
- 13:26Speaker 10: Good afternoon, sir.
- 13:27Speaker 1: What's up.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Hey.
- 13:29Speaker 10: You know, I forgot to mention the other day one
- 13:31Speaker 10: of the things I really enjoyed about radio wrote all
- 13:33Speaker 10: over the weekend.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just.
- 13:36Speaker 11: Emmett Smith preaching my my feelings about the Cowboys over
- 13:43Speaker 11: you know, recent years, and just listening to him, and boy,
- 13:47Speaker 11: he was really frank and upfront and.
- 13:49Speaker 10: And all I was, I was like, brother, preach because
- 13:54Speaker 10: I'm tired of hear you know, I'm tired of talking
- 13:56Speaker 10: about potential too, you know, And really enjoyed listening to
- 14:03Speaker 10: some of his various interviews over the weekend.
- 14:06Speaker 1: That's funny because it's annoying to me.
- 14:10Speaker 10: I'm sorry, man, No, I just say, you work for
- 14:12Speaker 10: the organization. Nobody wants their organization bashed.
- 14:14Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, No, that's not it.
- 14:17Speaker 1: That's not it. When you play like you play against
- 14:18Speaker 1: Screen Bay, you get bashed. Okay, that's not it. What
- 14:22Speaker 1: it is is that is Emmitt and a lot of
- 14:25Speaker 1: former players. I mean the saying stuff like I'm tired
- 14:28Speaker 1: of talking about it. Well, you're at radio row, Like
- 14:32Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you What are you promoting? Oh,
- 14:34Speaker 1: you're promoting something, you know what I mean like I'm saying,
- 14:37Speaker 1: is is that this is it? This is the NFL.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to keep talking about it. This
- 14:41Speaker 1: is why we have shows. I mean, we're going to
- 14:43Speaker 1: keep talking about the Cowboys. I mean, what are you
- 14:46Speaker 1: just going to say, Well, just dismiss them. They haven't
- 14:48Speaker 1: won in twenty nine years, so we don't talk about them.
- 14:50Speaker 1: That just doesn't work that way. I mean, it just
- 14:53Speaker 1: it just seems weird that Emmitt would make that statement
- 14:55Speaker 1: to me because I mean I didn't hear all of it.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I've heard bits and pieces, but it just seems hypocritical
- 15:01Speaker 1: a little bit because it's like, this is this is
- 15:04Speaker 1: the team that you played on. You know how this works? Like,
- 15:08Speaker 1: you know, you talk about the Cowboys until they win,
- 15:11Speaker 1: and then when they win, you talk about them until
- 15:13Speaker 1: they lose. I mean, that's just the cycle of it.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I don't know whatever.
- 15:17Speaker 10: I love him, but for me, he just kind of voiced,
- 15:21Speaker 10: I'm tired of talking about potential. Yeah, that of you
- 15:25Speaker 10: know performance, you know, kind of what my teacher said
- 15:28Speaker 10: about me when I did got great potential. He's a
- 15:32Speaker 10: great kid.
- 15:33Speaker 1: But did you do Then't have great grades, though, but
- 15:35Speaker 1: did you have great potential?
- 15:37Speaker 9: Absolutely?
- 15:38Speaker 10: When I finally decided that I wanted to participate in
- 15:41Speaker 10: this classic world in college, I did very well.
- 15:45Speaker 1: But it sounds like that sounds it sounds like me.
- 15:48Speaker 5: Yeah, just me.
- 15:50Speaker 10: I just didn't want to do it, so I didn't.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Man, that's I think, this is that's me. But this
- 15:55Speaker 1: is a little bit different situation of because this is
- 15:59Speaker 1: where this is. You have another question, I'll go on
- 16:02Speaker 1: in a rant here in a second.
- 16:03Speaker 10: Boy, Yeah, no worries that wait. So the other thing
- 16:06Speaker 10: I really appreciate. I listened to Girls Talk, Boys Talk
- 16:09Speaker 10: this morning and Christie Scales was there when Zimmer was
- 16:12Speaker 10: there the first time, and remember him coming into the
- 16:15Speaker 10: building in ninety four, And you know, I learned a
- 16:19Speaker 10: lot about him in that just a couple of minutes,
- 16:21Speaker 10: just listening to her stories and of course the very
- 16:23Speaker 10: sad story about his son.
- 16:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:26Speaker 10: But then, uh, you know, the thing that I was
- 16:29Speaker 10: really excited about was Zim is, you know, being a
- 16:33Speaker 10: military guy. And thank god Aisha really brought this to
- 16:38Speaker 10: their show. You know, she said as a soldier. They
- 16:41Speaker 10: asked her, you know, what does it mean when you
- 16:43Speaker 10: have a disciplinarian and talking about some of her former
- 16:49Speaker 10: drill sergeants and such, well, she has one that she's
- 16:52Speaker 10: still in touch with today, right, you know, and we
- 16:57Speaker 10: I think about the great military leaders that I worked
- 16:59Speaker 10: for and what that meant. But yeah, the discipline is
- 17:04Speaker 10: you you know, it's something you got. You gotta take it.
- 17:08Speaker 10: And you've said specifically about Mike, but true about everybody.
- 17:12Speaker 10: If you really want to be the best player you
- 17:15Speaker 10: can be, then you've got to be willing to listen
- 17:18Speaker 10: to somebody like Zim because he's been great everywhere he'd been.
- 17:22Speaker 10: His defenses have been incredibly good. Right, so you've got
- 17:27Speaker 10: to be willing to listen. I really liked her point
- 17:29Speaker 10: of view on that. And then I want to throw
- 17:31Speaker 10: out a player. This is somebody that was there during
- 17:34Speaker 10: your time there just kind of a you know, it
- 17:36Speaker 10: wasn't there long, but but he had a good role.
- 17:38Speaker 10: I looked up his two thousand and one statistics. He
- 17:40Speaker 10: had six hundred yards from scrimmage, which surprised me. Troy
- 17:44Speaker 10: Hambrick and I'll hang out man, have a.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Great show, all right, thank you, Troy Hambrick. All right,
- 17:51Speaker 1: you know, going back to the first part though about
- 17:54Speaker 1: about you know, the younger players generation, you know, are
- 17:58Speaker 1: they going to listen and you know, taking some of
- 18:02Speaker 1: those other stories from from military aspects, I mean, it
- 18:06Speaker 1: all comes down to respect. If you don't have to
- 18:09Speaker 1: like that guy, you don't have to like the coach,
- 18:11Speaker 1: you don't have to like your teacher, you don't have
- 18:13Speaker 1: to like your boss, but you have to respect their position.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Even if you don't respect them, you have to respect
- 18:20Speaker 1: the position that they have. And if you do that,
- 18:23Speaker 1: and if you respect your coach and you respect your
- 18:27Speaker 1: you know whatever. But in this case, it would be
- 18:29Speaker 1: your defensive coordinator and respect what you know that they
- 18:33Speaker 1: they've done enough to get to this point. You need
- 18:35Speaker 1: to listen to them. Then then I think I think
- 18:38Speaker 1: they'll they'll understand, you know that it's tough, love that
- 18:41Speaker 1: that if they're yelling at me and embarrassing me in
- 18:44Speaker 1: front of everybody. You know that it's for a good reason.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And you know, I've heard coaches say this. Coaches, some
- 18:50Speaker 1: coaches will say to the best player, to the quarterback
- 18:53Speaker 1: or whatever, say hey, you know, I have to treat
- 18:56Speaker 1: you different, right you you know this. They'll pull them
- 18:59Speaker 1: aside and say, I have to do this for for everybody.
- 19:03Speaker 1: So if I get onto you, yeah, I get it.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I know that the other guys are doing it too,
- 19:08Speaker 1: but it sets the tone as long as it's as
- 19:10Speaker 1: long as it's not fake, you know. But if I
- 19:12Speaker 1: have to get onto you, then you know, then then
- 19:15Speaker 1: everyone kind of will see, Hey, if he'll get it,
- 19:18Speaker 1: everybody can can get this too. And so I think
- 19:21Speaker 1: that's where those players kind of have to understand. As
- 19:23Speaker 1: long as you know, gotta be fair, but he's demanding,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and uh you know those are those are the words
- 19:28Speaker 1: that you kind of keep here and come out here,
- 19:31Speaker 1: you know, not mean stuff like that. It's it's demanding,
- 19:34Speaker 1: challenging and fair. And so that's that's what I think
- 19:37Speaker 1: is exciting about that. For the former player Troy Hambrick,
- 19:44Speaker 1: Troy was you know, it was a I mean it
- 19:46Speaker 1: was in a weird spot. You know, he didn't know it.
- 19:49Speaker 1: He didn't know what he was in really, or it
- 19:52Speaker 1: didn't feel it. But I mean, if you're if you're
- 19:54Speaker 1: the next running back behind him at Smith, that's not easy,
- 19:58Speaker 1: Quincy Carter, I mean, you know, that would easy to
- 20:00Speaker 1: be the guys behind Troy eight men and and him
- 20:04Speaker 1: and and and Troy Hambrick was that way, and his
- 20:07Speaker 1: brother was on the team, and he was he was wild,
- 20:10Speaker 1: you know, pretty crazy, and you know he ran he
- 20:14Speaker 1: ran the ball well, you know there were some times, uh,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you know, two thousand and three, I think he almost
- 20:19Speaker 1: had a thousand yards. He was like the main runner,
- 20:22Speaker 1: you know. And that's that's one of Bill Parcells's best
- 20:25Speaker 1: coaching jobs ever, any coach in Cowboy's history to take
- 20:29Speaker 1: that three team in his first year with Quincy as
- 20:32Speaker 1: the quarterback and Troy Hambrick is the running back and
- 20:34Speaker 1: go ten and six and and go to the playoffs.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I mean, and that was that was really good. You know,
- 20:38Speaker 1: Hambrick was a solid player, but you know, I mean
- 20:42Speaker 1: that was just kind of a point in time where
- 20:44Speaker 1: they have a lot of great players. All right, let's
- 20:47Speaker 1: go to let's go to Anthony in Miami.
- 20:52Speaker 7: What's going on?
- 20:53Speaker 5: Quick?
- 20:54Speaker 1: What's up? Man? A?
- 20:57Speaker 7: First of all, Man, some prayers on the people who
- 20:59Speaker 7: came in the city. Man, I'm on that cowardice because
- 21:04Speaker 7: when you act, because when you got assault weapons, as
- 21:07Speaker 7: I heard, I thought one of the weapons that got
- 21:10Speaker 7: they caught the fans caught. You know, you're running away
- 21:13Speaker 7: and you got assault you know, when you got AR
- 21:15Speaker 7: fifteens and ouzies, you know, and AK forty seven type weapons. Man,
- 21:20Speaker 7: that's cowardice. You know you're going out there to do something,
- 21:22Speaker 7: to pick some damage. So you know, hey, man, I
- 21:25Speaker 7: hope they you know, kid more than what's coming to them.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's yeah, there's there's no excuse for it,
- 21:33Speaker 1: and there's just it's ridiculous. And honestly, I was going
- 21:39Speaker 1: to try not to maybe go there. I mean, I
- 21:41Speaker 1: obviously it's on everyone's mind. It's a parade and and
- 21:44Speaker 1: and for a football team, and for that to happen,
- 21:48Speaker 1: I just can't fathom. I can't fathom, you know, And
- 21:50Speaker 1: I know that one person has has definitely passed away,
- 21:53Speaker 1: and then there's twelve thirteen other children as opposed to
- 21:57Speaker 1: the you know, twenty twenty something that are in the hospital.
- 22:01Speaker 1: But I heard ten or eleven children, and I just
- 22:03Speaker 1: can't imagine going to the.
- 22:06Speaker 7: UH not to bring it down, not to bring it down,
- 22:11Speaker 7: but you know, just as some prayers type of thing.
- 22:14Speaker 7: But anyway, cowboys business, mister Darren Woodson, Man, I don't
- 22:19Speaker 7: know if you listen or if somebody gets this that
- 22:22Speaker 7: close to you that listens. I respect you, man, I
- 22:24Speaker 7: respect your game.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Man.
- 22:27Speaker 7: I respect the kind of guy that I hear you are.
- 22:30Speaker 7: Treat the CEO like the like the like the guy
- 22:33Speaker 7: that cleans up and mops floors speaks to him as well.
- 22:36Speaker 7: So if you're that type of guy, man, and I
- 22:39Speaker 7: know your record speaks for itself. On the field, good
- 22:42Speaker 7: things are coming. Man, ho wef is coming, is coming,
- 22:45Speaker 7: and I hope you know you have the same appreciation
- 22:48Speaker 7: for it whenever it happens, because you deserve it more
- 22:51Speaker 7: than deserve it. My player, I want to mention another player.
- 22:56Speaker 7: I wish this player could have played for coach him
- 22:59Speaker 7: now and on Coach Quinn underrated guy and that safety
- 23:04Speaker 7: Jeff heat I wish that type of guy, Saginaw guy.
- 23:09Speaker 7: I think he was a free agent. If he was,
- 23:11Speaker 7: he was a late round draft pick, safety, hard hitting,
- 23:14Speaker 7: I mean gave it, you know it all He wasn't
- 23:17Speaker 7: a good cover guy, you know, safety when he got
- 23:19Speaker 7: put in those positions. But that the work ethic that
- 23:22Speaker 7: I heard of and that I you know, I saw
- 23:25Speaker 7: him display things on the field that I could appreciate.
- 23:28Speaker 7: And I would hope that some of these players that
- 23:29Speaker 7: make way more money than he ever thought of making
- 23:32Speaker 7: can get that and instilled that back in their game.
- 23:37Speaker 7: And other than that, go coalbals. I don't want you
- 23:39Speaker 7: know all that whoever we paid defense, whatever, everybody knows
- 23:43Speaker 7: what we need to do. It's out the running back, linebackers,
- 23:46Speaker 7: the tackles.
- 23:47Speaker 5: I just hope we.
- 23:48Speaker 7: Make the right choice and.
- 23:49Speaker 5: Do the right thing. Talk to you next week, Anthony.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Jeff, Jeff was a was a good
- 23:56Speaker 1: solid player. He was you know, this is probably going
- 24:01Speaker 1: to be surprising to some, but he was one of
- 24:04Speaker 1: the fastest players on the team. I mean, I remember,
- 24:07Speaker 1: I'm trying to think which I think it was Dez. Actually,
- 24:11Speaker 1: I remember one time we did a story. We were
- 24:13Speaker 1: kind of having fun. We were asking about a relay team.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Who would be on your relay team? I think Dez
- 24:19Speaker 1: put himself on there. Probably not, but you know, everybody
- 24:22Speaker 1: thinks that they're super fast. But Jeff Heath name got
- 24:26Speaker 1: up there several times because you know, he definitely could run.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Jeff Heath had three games, three moments that it didn't
- 24:37Speaker 1: go well for him, jumped, over ran, over ran, you know,
- 24:44Speaker 1: maybe ran away from or whatever. And that's where a
- 24:47Speaker 1: lot of fans are like, oh, you remember the time
- 24:49Speaker 1: that you know, and I'm pretty sure all three of
- 24:54Speaker 1: these guys either are are the Hall of Fame or
- 24:56Speaker 1: going to be in the Hall of Fame. I mean,
- 24:58Speaker 1: like one of them was Calvin Johnson, like Calvin Johnson
- 25:01Speaker 1: like catching a pass over him, or Jimmy Graham. I
- 25:05Speaker 1: don't think he's in the Hall of Fame, but you
- 25:07Speaker 1: know he might be at some point. Let's get witted
- 25:11Speaker 1: in there first, but you know that. And then Adrian
- 25:14Speaker 1: Peterson I think had a run where he kind of was,
- 25:16Speaker 1: you know, he was trying to tackle him or whatever.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I mean, not the first guy to ever like not
- 25:20Speaker 1: not be able to bring him down. But for the
- 25:22Speaker 1: most part, Jeff Heath was a really good player, and
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know, had had some great moments and could have
- 25:28Speaker 1: had one of the greatest moments in Cowboys history. But
- 25:31Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers held onto the ball. I mean he blitzed
- 25:34Speaker 1: off the edge in that twenty sixteen Divisional game and
- 25:38Speaker 1: just smashed him right in the back. Most guys are
- 25:42Speaker 1: gonna fumble and if the Cowboys recovered it, they kick
- 25:45Speaker 1: a field goal on the next play and they and
- 25:46Speaker 1: they win and they go to the NFC Championship game.
- 25:49Speaker 1: But he didn't. He held onto the ball and then
- 25:52Speaker 1: next play I think is one way. He went out
- 25:54Speaker 1: and made a great play on the sideline and Packers
- 25:57Speaker 1: went But but Jeff, Jeff Heath was was a good player,
- 25:59Speaker 1: under rated player, all right, Sebastian and Savannah Georgian.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Good?
- 26:04Speaker 12: Even how you do today?
- 26:06Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?
- 26:07Speaker 13: Hey man?
- 26:08Speaker 5: Fun shine?
- 26:09Speaker 9: And my girls is from out there?
- 26:10Speaker 5: My lungs and my heart's beating.
- 26:11Speaker 1: I'm real well, all right, phones now not sounding good.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I didn't I thought that was your voice for a second.
- 26:19Speaker 13: Probably, I was laying back in the back of the
- 26:20Speaker 13: struck here. Uh, which is the best funny jumping was
- 26:25Speaker 13: everything They wanted that kid, Matt Johnson to be then
- 26:28Speaker 13: on for a few years a while back, like old
- 26:30Speaker 13: leave or something like that. But uh, let's talk with
- 26:34Speaker 13: ECS real quick.
- 26:36Speaker 7: One.
- 26:36Speaker 13: I don't think that. I think it's being really overplayed,
- 26:40Speaker 13: a number being really agressive.
- 26:42Speaker 5: La.
- 26:43Speaker 13: It wasn't just a little a few years ago. And
- 26:44Speaker 13: he also doesn't it.
- 26:47Speaker 1: I think we lost him. We're gonna try, Sebastian, try
- 26:50Speaker 1: to call us back if you can. Sorry that it
- 26:52Speaker 1: was it was really difficult to hear. If you can
- 26:55Speaker 1: call us back eight eight eight eight five five two
- 26:57Speaker 1: two nine seven. I know you know the number usually
- 27:00Speaker 1: have really good reception from him, but not in this case. Actually,
- 27:05Speaker 1: let's take him break. Let's take it right. We don't
- 27:06Speaker 1: do that a whole lot, but we're gonna take a
- 27:07Speaker 1: break kind of reset. I think the phone lines are open,
- 27:10Speaker 1: like Sebastian to call on one of them, but give
- 27:13Speaker 1: us a call. I got a text message I'm gonna
- 27:14Speaker 1: read when we come back. We're gonna have a break
- 27:16Speaker 1: real quick, come right back here.

- 29:21Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline all right back here on Cowboys Storyline
- 29:27Speaker 1: It's been a while since we've taken a break in
- 29:30Speaker 1: the middle of the show, but I'm glad we did
- 29:32Speaker 1: because we were able to kind of get Sebastian back
- 29:35Speaker 1: on the line. See if he sounds better this time.
- 29:38Speaker 13: Sebastian, I'm sorry. I think I was too close to
- 29:41Speaker 13: my house. It was trying to connect to the Wi Fi.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I know how that goes the driveways kind of like,
- 29:46Speaker 1: what are we doing here? You know we're doing this,
- 29:48Speaker 1: We're not yeah, yeah, that's bad.
- 29:50Speaker 13: Yeah, but inter out We're real good. We're real good.
- 29:53Speaker 13: It's seventy one degrees in sunny here, man, and I'm
- 29:56Speaker 13: feeling good, mister emone. But I was saying I wanted
- 29:59Speaker 13: to talk of the DC's real quick. A lot of
- 30:02Speaker 13: smoke's been made about, you know, Mike Zimmer and his
- 30:05Speaker 13: personality type and how it's going to mess with the team.
- 30:07Speaker 13: If they're good players and they want to be coached,
- 30:09Speaker 13: they will be coached. And the great players are always
- 30:12Speaker 13: going at taking coaching. Even Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady
- 30:15Speaker 13: needed to be coach to be great. So I have
- 30:17Speaker 13: no problem with that. But he's also not taking over
- 30:19Speaker 13: a Mike Nolan style situation, So I don't think his
- 30:22Speaker 13: job will be as difficult as dan Quinn's job was
- 30:24Speaker 13: when he actually came in here. And then when you
- 30:26Speaker 13: flip that to me being prepared for dan Quinn to
- 30:30Speaker 13: go to a Washington team but not DC. I think
- 30:33Speaker 13: they're gonna be a tough out this year coming up.
- 30:35Speaker 13: You know, yes they're at Washington.
- 30:38Speaker 12: DC.
- 30:38Speaker 13: Think they're gonna be a tough out this year. The NFL,
- 30:41Speaker 13: if you look at the Super Bowl, they're doing a
- 30:43Speaker 13: very good job of making these teams fairly even across
- 30:46Speaker 13: the board. I don't feel where as far away from
- 30:48Speaker 13: San Francisco as it seems like, especially when you watch
- 30:50Speaker 13: them go up against Detroit, who we beat and then
- 30:52Speaker 13: play a Super Bowl game. I think it's a lot
- 30:55Speaker 13: of times we get on our way with the penalties
- 30:56Speaker 13: and things of that nature. So we can clean that
- 30:58Speaker 13: up under Mike Zimmer. That's to be a beautiful thing.
- 31:01Speaker 13: And I hope you guys have had a great week.
- 31:02Speaker 13: I'm having a real good week so far and have
- 31:04Speaker 13: a great thing.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Thanks Sebastian. Appreciate that good call at a lot of
- 31:09Speaker 1: good stuff in there. You know, I agree with what
- 31:13Speaker 1: you said about the you know, good, good players want
- 31:15Speaker 1: to be coached, and you know, I'm not sure where
- 31:18Speaker 1: they are with with you know, with I'm sorry, I
- 31:24Speaker 1: was looking at this Chiefs forty nine er game, but
- 31:27Speaker 1: you're talking about the forty nine ers from where they
- 31:28Speaker 1: are with the forty nine ers, you know, I still
- 31:32Speaker 1: feel like they're there are ways away they haven't you know,
- 31:37Speaker 1: they haven't gotten that close to beating them, I think
- 31:40Speaker 1: in the last three times that they've faced them. And
- 31:42Speaker 1: it could just be a matchup thing where where you
- 31:45Speaker 1: know that's the case. You know you are going to
- 31:47Speaker 1: switch up. You know, both teams are going to have
- 31:48Speaker 1: new defensive coordinators. I don't know if I understand that
- 31:52Speaker 1: with what the forty nine ers are doing. But there's
- 31:53Speaker 1: a lot of stuff behind the scenes. You know, this
- 31:55Speaker 1: franchise has seen a guy win two Super Bowls in
- 31:57Speaker 1: a row and not be the coach in the next year.
- 31:59Speaker 1: So there's there's suicides to everything, and you know, we'll
- 32:04Speaker 1: we'll we'll see how how they get. You know that
- 32:07Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna face some some salary cap issues
- 32:10Speaker 1: uh as well. But but I do think the Cowboys
- 32:12Speaker 1: are you know, I think that they're they're they're up there.
- 32:16Speaker 1: They're they're one of the better teams. Like like Sebastian
- 32:19Speaker 1: just said, you know, Zimmer is gonna come in and
- 32:21Speaker 1: he's inheriting a team that's got some good players, really
- 32:25Speaker 1: good players on defense. You know, you have Mike Parsons,
- 32:28Speaker 1: you have Trayvon coming back, and and you've got Deron Bland,
- 32:32Speaker 1: and you know, Tank Lawrence and and you know you
- 32:34Speaker 1: you osa. I mean, there're there's there's some guys here
- 32:37Speaker 1: and then they got a lot of younger players too
- 32:40Speaker 1: that are maybe getting ready to take that next step.
- 32:42Speaker 1: But uh, you mentioned Washington being tough. Sure, and dan
- 32:46Speaker 1: Quinn is gonna turn things around. I mean that's why
- 32:49Speaker 1: that's that's probably gonna happen. They're gonna be better. They
- 32:52Speaker 1: have a lot of draft picks, they have a lot
- 32:54Speaker 1: of salary cap space, so we'll see how they use it.
- 32:57Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that they're gonna be a better team.
- 33:01Speaker 1: They got the number two overall pick. You know, if
- 33:03Speaker 1: they get a quarterback, that's a difference maker. I mean,
- 33:05Speaker 1: watch out or if they get anybody. You know, almost
- 33:08Speaker 1: want them to take a quarterback. Seriously, you know when
- 33:11Speaker 1: division teams like that I'm always kind of hoping that
- 33:15Speaker 1: they take the quarterback because it's a crap shoot. I mean,
- 33:21Speaker 1: take Robert Griffin, Okay, he was good for a year
- 33:24Speaker 1: and then it didn't work out so much and then
- 33:26Speaker 1: he was not there anymore, you know, Or take Daniel Jones,
- 33:31Speaker 1: and you know, take Carson Wentz. I mean, yeah, you
- 33:35Speaker 1: have some success, but it doesn't always work out. But
- 33:38Speaker 1: if you don't take a quarterback, if you take like
- 33:40Speaker 1: a lineman, or you take a defensive end or pass rusher,
- 33:45Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be a problem, you know. I mean,
- 33:47Speaker 1: I know the Giants are a little bit of an
- 33:50Speaker 1: exception to the rule because they seem to draft offensive
- 33:53Speaker 1: linemen that don't pan out so well. But for the
- 33:56Speaker 1: most part, you take a guy up in the top
- 33:58Speaker 1: ten position player like he's probably gonna be pretty good. So,
- 34:02Speaker 1: uh me, personally, if I was, you know, I kind
- 34:05Speaker 1: of hope Washington does take one of the quarterbacks. If
- 34:07Speaker 1: if they hit and you get and they get a
- 34:08Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, then that's not good. But but I think
- 34:12Speaker 1: more often than not, you you they don't. So all right,
- 34:15Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. All right, let's let's we
- 34:17Speaker 1: got a text question here up earlier in the show,
- 34:20Speaker 1: Dan from Philly text and then, so, if you could
- 34:22Speaker 1: only extend one of these players, who would it be? Micah,
- 34:25Speaker 1: CD or Dak? His pick is CD, and he also
- 34:29Speaker 1: says Dexter Cokeley is his past cowboy love, Dexter Cokeley.
- 34:35Speaker 1: But uh, of those three, who could you extend?
- 34:39Speaker 7: Uh?
- 34:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'd say, I'd say CD. I mean,
- 34:44Speaker 1: if I could extend one, I would it would it
- 34:46Speaker 1: would be CD. I think you you don't have as
- 34:50Speaker 1: many question marks there. Uh, he's already been you know,
- 34:53Speaker 1: he's setting unbelievable records, and you know not that Micah isn't.
- 34:59Speaker 1: But I mean, if I get to pick one, I'm
- 35:02Speaker 1: I'm I take CD. You know, but that's not that's
- 35:07Speaker 1: not the case. I mean, you can do you can
- 35:09Speaker 1: do other things, and you can you know, to make
- 35:11Speaker 1: this work. You should be able to get all all
- 35:13Speaker 1: of them in here at some point. All right, let's
- 35:16Speaker 1: go to another text question here. This is from a
- 35:20Speaker 1: seven to six ozero area code. What do you think
- 35:22Speaker 1: about vander esh as a coach, A linebackers coach, that's
- 35:27Speaker 1: you know, coaching is something that you've got to want
- 35:30Speaker 1: to do. I mean, I mean clearly, and that's that's
- 35:32Speaker 1: the case with everything. But you've got to really want
- 35:35Speaker 1: to coach. You've got to want to be here for
- 35:40Speaker 1: all hours of the night. I mean assistant coaches, I mean,
- 35:42Speaker 1: they put in a ton of hours. And you know,
- 35:46Speaker 1: that's why you don't see a lot of you know,
- 35:47Speaker 1: great players, and you know, he's I don't know if
- 35:50Speaker 1: he's a great player. He was a good player. I
- 35:52Speaker 1: mean he if injuries weren't an issue, I think he
- 35:54Speaker 1: was going to be great. But but still, I mean,
- 35:59Speaker 1: you got to you got to have the desire to
- 36:01Speaker 1: do it. It's not about do it do I know
- 36:03Speaker 1: the game x'es and o's and things like that. I
- 36:05Speaker 1: think Tony Romo could be one of the best coaches.
- 36:08Speaker 1: I was told Tony Ramo could be one of the
- 36:09Speaker 1: best defensive coordinators in the NFL if he really really
- 36:13Speaker 1: tried to do it, understands things like that, he could
- 36:16Speaker 1: do flip to the other side and kind of he
- 36:18Speaker 1: could be a great defensive coordinator. But doesn't want to
- 36:21Speaker 1: do that. Wants to go and do one game a
- 36:22Speaker 1: week and and and you know, half of the times
- 36:25Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs. You know, he has to know the
- 36:27Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills and a few other teams and
- 36:30Speaker 1: gets to you know. I mean, that's he gets paid
- 36:32Speaker 1: a lot to do it. I mean, I'm just saying, so,
- 36:34Speaker 1: you got to be it's got to be in your blood.
- 36:35Speaker 1: It's got to be in your DNA to want to
- 36:37Speaker 1: do that. And I don't know that. You know, he hasn't.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I've never heard him say that. And I'm not sure
- 36:42Speaker 1: he's done playing football. I don't know this, but I mean,
- 36:46Speaker 1: if so, I mean, it could be coaching, but maybe
- 36:48Speaker 1: not right away. You know, it's not always an easy
- 36:51Speaker 1: thing to just transition right into that and coach players
- 36:55Speaker 1: that you were teammates with. You know, you see it,
- 36:57Speaker 1: you see it every now and again. But uh, but
- 37:00Speaker 1: I don't know. So I'm just speculating at this point.
- 37:03Speaker 1: All right, Michael and Bowling Green Kentucky.
- 37:08Speaker 6: New Year. We hadn't lost the game, so all the
- 37:11Speaker 6: hope is there again. Oh right, I'm gonna ask you
- 37:15Speaker 6: a draft question. But you said on Tuesday, go for it,
- 37:18Speaker 6: go for it.
- 37:19Speaker 1: I'm in go for it, all right. If not, I'll
- 37:21Speaker 1: fake it.
- 37:22Speaker 5: Okay, if.
- 37:26Speaker 6: If if our pick comes to us and the Sinner
- 37:29Speaker 6: from Oregon.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Power. Yeah, if he's there, Powers Johnson Smith Lewis sounds
- 37:38Speaker 1: like he's an attorney at law. Bring him. I'm all
- 37:42Speaker 1: for it. Let's go all right? Really yeah, now here's
- 37:48Speaker 1: here's here's the question. And I don't know what's gonna
- 37:52Speaker 1: happen between you know, this is one of those like
- 37:55Speaker 1: like once a year, I always think, man, I wish
- 37:58Speaker 1: the draft was first and then free to see what second,
- 38:00Speaker 1: But it doesn't work that way. But this is one
- 38:03Speaker 1: of those cases where they're gonna have to do something
- 38:05Speaker 1: at center. You know, they have to have some plan.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I don't think that they're gonna bring They're not bringing
- 38:10Speaker 1: back Yaddish. I'm pretty sure of that. So they have
- 38:12Speaker 1: to do something. Whatever they do probably won't stop them
- 38:16Speaker 1: from drafting a plug and play center, but you know,
- 38:20Speaker 1: they'll they'll have something in the works, and maybe it's
- 38:22Speaker 1: a guy from here. Maybe it's TJ. Bass just playing center,
- 38:25Speaker 1: or brock Hoffman or those two guys just working at it,
- 38:28Speaker 1: And that's kind of a contingency plan. If you don't
- 38:30Speaker 1: get something better in the draft, maybe they pick up
- 38:33Speaker 1: a veteran lineman who's you know, been a center in
- 38:36Speaker 1: the past. But yeah, if you tell me you're getting
- 38:39Speaker 1: one of the top centers. And this guy, from what
- 38:42Speaker 1: I've heard, I know a little bit about him, played
- 38:44Speaker 1: some defense, you know, early on, and he's moved around
- 38:48Speaker 1: and he's just a tough football player. Played center one
- 38:51Speaker 1: year and he won the Remington Award. So that's he's
- 38:55Speaker 1: bat in a thousand when it comes to like being
- 38:57Speaker 1: a really good player at that position. So yeah, I
- 39:00Speaker 1: don't know if he I don't know if he lasts
- 39:02Speaker 1: that long.
- 39:03Speaker 6: Honestly, Hey, they're projecting him around that range, in that area,
- 39:10Speaker 6: one in.
- 39:10Speaker 1: The in the low one, right, And that's why that's
- 39:14Speaker 1: why it's important for the Cowboys to do something at
- 39:17Speaker 1: the position, because you go into a draft and everyone
- 39:20Speaker 1: knows you don't really have a center that that's gonna
- 39:23Speaker 1: be the team that everyone's like, all right, if you
- 39:25Speaker 1: got it, if you want Powers Johnson or whatever his
- 39:28Speaker 1: name is, I'm sorry, I don't know, Chris, what's his
- 39:30Speaker 1: name again? Yeah, it's Powers John Powers. So if you
- 39:34Speaker 1: want to get him, you know you got to jump Dallas.
- 39:36Speaker 1: You know you don't want that. You don't want that,
- 39:38Speaker 1: that that scenario, so you know that'll it'll be fun
- 39:41Speaker 1: to see, but you know, I'm anxious to see kind
- 39:44Speaker 1: of what happens with him at the at the combine
- 39:46Speaker 1: and it's pro day, and yeah, that that's one that
- 39:49Speaker 1: to definitely look at for sure.
- 39:52Speaker 5: Well.
- 39:52Speaker 6: The only other thing I had real quick some movies
- 39:55Speaker 6: for one call or Callity and mentioned in the Giants
- 40:00Speaker 6: high School football movie. I hadn't seen it in a
- 40:02Speaker 6: long time. I watched it the other day because it's
- 40:04Speaker 6: on Prime, Amazon Prime, But really good movie. What's it
- 40:08Speaker 6: called Facing the Facing the Giants high School? It's high
- 40:13Speaker 6: school football?
- 40:14Speaker 1: Okay, I don't get it. Yeah, I don't think, I know,
- 40:17Speaker 1: I've never seen that, or I don't know by the title.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Sometimes you see a movie and you're like, oh, I've
- 40:24Speaker 1: seen that, you know, but that doesn't ring a bell,
- 40:27Speaker 1: but sounds good.
- 40:28Speaker 6: You got Prime check it out, all right?
- 40:30Speaker 1: All right? I think it's one of the fifty seven
- 40:33Speaker 1: things that we have of a subscription to that we
- 40:37Speaker 1: haven't canceled or yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Michael,
- 40:40Speaker 1: I appreciate it. All right. Let's go to Erwin in Denver.
- 40:45Speaker 12: Hello, Erwin, Hey, Mick, what's going on?
- 40:48Speaker 5: I lost you a couple of times? Oh, we got you.
- 40:51Speaker 1: We found you.
- 40:52Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you did.
- 40:53Speaker 16: How you doing Hey, I'm doing great?
- 40:55Speaker 5: How are you doing good?
- 40:58Speaker 12: Hey?
- 40:59Speaker 16: You know what I just want to I'm not really
- 41:00Speaker 16: sure if I missed a lot of this because I
- 41:02Speaker 16: got disconnected, but I joined on a little bit late.
- 41:06Speaker 16: But anyway, just a couple of things make it real
- 41:09Speaker 16: quick for you.
- 41:09Speaker 5: Again.
- 41:10Speaker 16: I really liked the Mike Zimmer higher And one thing
- 41:13Speaker 16: I really liked about it is I didn't necessarily like
- 41:16Speaker 16: how dan Quinn was up in the box and coaching
- 41:19Speaker 16: from up there opposed to being on the sideline with
- 41:22Speaker 16: the defensive players. And I believe that's how Mike Zimmer is.
- 41:26Speaker 16: He's down there with the guys. So I really liked that.
- 41:30Speaker 16: And and the other thing, I'm glad you kind of
- 41:33Speaker 16: brought it up about Heat on that Adrian Peterson run.
- 41:38Speaker 16: I distinctly, I distinctly remember that run Peterson. Heat runs angry. Anyway, Yeah, yeah,
- 41:45Speaker 16: he hit Jeff Heat actually hit Peterson pretty good and
- 41:49Speaker 16: stopped him. The problem was a couple of the Cowboy
- 41:52Speaker 16: players hit Peterson from behind.
- 41:54Speaker 5: It.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looked bad for him. It really wasn't
- 41:59Speaker 1: as bad as is it look. Yeah.
- 42:02Speaker 16: No, he actually he actually made great contact with Peterson
- 42:05Speaker 16: actually stopping him, which is really pretty amazing. But you know, anyway,
- 42:10Speaker 16: I just wanted to touch on that real quick. You know,
- 42:13Speaker 16: see what you think about zimmer coaching on the sideline
- 42:16Speaker 16: and I'll let you go and taking my call.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Thank you all right, or appreciate that. You know, that's
- 42:21Speaker 1: one of those things that it reminded me of something
- 42:24Speaker 1: we had talked about on Tuesday about the captains, you know,
- 42:28Speaker 1: and just different things that I'm not sure how much
- 42:33Speaker 1: it matters. You know, it's the same with the guy
- 42:35Speaker 1: up in the box, and you know, I mean you're
- 42:38Speaker 1: trading off something you get to get, you know, down
- 42:41Speaker 1: there in the mix and and huddle the players around,
- 42:43Speaker 1: all of them. You can't get everyone on the phone,
- 42:46Speaker 1: you know, up there, and to do that, this is
- 42:48Speaker 1: a way to get your message across to eleven people.
- 42:51Speaker 1: And you know, right at the same time is you know,
- 42:54Speaker 1: get your act together. And I'm sure he doesn't say
- 42:56Speaker 1: the word act, but you know, i mean let's go
- 43:00Speaker 1: figure figure this out or someone else will. And so
- 43:03Speaker 1: that's that's probably very you know important to to be
- 43:06Speaker 1: able to do that and for his style. At the
- 43:10Speaker 1: same time, you're trading off not getting a chance to
- 43:13Speaker 1: you know, see as much. But you know, they got
- 43:15Speaker 1: the pictures for that, and they they you know, all
- 43:18Speaker 1: the all the tablets and things like that that that
- 43:20Speaker 1: you can kind of you know, to take a look at.
- 43:22Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I would I would think, yeah,
- 43:25Speaker 1: this is this is probably gonna be something different and
- 43:27Speaker 1: and and that that's good. I Mean, this is a
- 43:30Speaker 1: team that I think is it's it's it's there. They're
- 43:34Speaker 1: in the they're in the neighborhood. I don't know if
- 43:36Speaker 1: you want to say they're close, I don't care about that.
- 43:38Speaker 1: They're they're they're in the ballpark here of teams that
- 43:42Speaker 1: can compete. Okay, they're probably going to compete for a
- 43:45Speaker 1: playoff spot again. And so now what's the difference. What's
- 43:50Speaker 1: gonna change, what's gonna get them over the hump? What
- 43:52Speaker 1: you know, can well the defensive coordinator, you know, get
- 43:57Speaker 1: two or three players playing better than we've seen before.
- 44:00Speaker 1: If that's the case, then that's that's really good. That
- 44:02Speaker 1: maybe he turns something different with Micah, you know, figuring
- 44:06Speaker 1: out away. I mean, that's one thing that's gonna happen
- 44:08Speaker 1: here with with Micah Parsons. Is you know, he's been
- 44:12Speaker 1: really really good. He's been dynamic in September, in October, November.
- 44:18Speaker 1: He has not been that way in December and January.
- 44:21Speaker 1: That's just fact.
- 44:23Speaker 5: So and I know.
- 44:25Speaker 1: Rob from from Vegas. He calls all the time. Not
- 44:29Speaker 1: to heading called today, but but he calls all the time,
- 44:32Speaker 1: and he says, you know, one thing he wants him
- 44:34Speaker 1: to do is gain gain fifteen twenty pounds to play
- 44:38Speaker 1: defensive end and maybe not wear down as much if
- 44:41Speaker 1: that's the case. And maybe that's not the case. But
- 44:44Speaker 1: three years is not really a sample size anymore. It's
- 44:47Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty I mean, I mean, it's a
- 44:49Speaker 1: pretty good It's not a small sample size, is what
- 44:51Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. It's it's a pretty good number.
- 44:53Speaker 13: There.
- 44:54Speaker 1: So three years in a row and you haven't really
- 44:56Speaker 1: done a whole lot at the end of the season,
- 44:58Speaker 1: maybe maybe there is something to that. So that's something
- 45:01Speaker 1: to consider, and you know, we'll see what what zimmer
- 45:04Speaker 1: style uh does for that. All right? Arthur in Spring Texas?
- 45:10Speaker 1: Nick are you saying, Arthur, how are you doing?
- 45:13Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good? Before I forget you. Every once
- 45:17Speaker 5: in a while, my son will Colin and Anthony from Seattle.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's awesome.
- 45:25Speaker 5: Yeah. As a matter of fact, he's one of my twins.
- 45:29Speaker 1: Okay.
- 45:31Speaker 5: Uh. The I saw the the the interview that Emmon
- 45:36Speaker 5: had with the guys from the NFL network, I think
- 45:40Speaker 5: it was Uh. I lost a little bit of respect
- 45:43Speaker 5: for him when I saw that video. Uh. You you
- 45:48Speaker 5: mentioned something a little earlier about what he was promoting.
- 45:51Speaker 5: He was promoting whatever totila was it was that he
- 45:55Speaker 5: had sitting in front of But oh, I'll say that.
- 45:59Speaker 5: Just say this that my mother in law made a
- 46:03Speaker 5: comment one time. We were talking about alcoholics, and she
- 46:08Speaker 5: said that a drunk mouth speaks a sober mind. And
- 46:13Speaker 5: I'm not saying that Emmont was drunk. Based on what
- 46:17Speaker 5: I saw, I think he might have had a little
- 46:20Speaker 5: sip or two of his own product, and I think
- 46:22Speaker 5: that he was just speaking from within. Now I'm not
- 46:27Speaker 5: in disagreement with what he said. The place where I
- 46:32Speaker 5: lost a little bit of respect for him is because
- 46:36Speaker 5: it took a liquid courage for him to say what
- 46:39Speaker 5: he had to say. There's nobody more disappointed in the
- 46:44Speaker 5: outcome of the twenty twenty three season than the Cowboys,
- 46:48Speaker 5: says as well as the owners and the coaches and
- 46:52Speaker 5: the place. I just think that, you know, for me,
- 46:58Speaker 5: the saying all in is nothing new for me. I've
- 47:01Speaker 5: been all in ever since six That's how long I've
- 47:04Speaker 5: been a Cowboy, Fay. But I just, you know, I
- 47:07Speaker 5: just want to kind of test based on that that
- 47:10Speaker 5: that m Smith thing that you were talking about a
- 47:12Speaker 5: little bit.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Yeah, well thanks for the for the call, Arthur. And yeah,
- 47:18Speaker 1: your your son, Anthony and Seattle calls every now and again,
- 47:21Speaker 1: and he's been he's been one of the one of
- 47:24Speaker 1: the first callers way back in September. So he'll call
- 47:27Speaker 1: a handful of times.
- 47:30Speaker 10: You know.
- 47:31Speaker 1: The thing is when you do it radio row, I
- 47:33Speaker 1: mean you do interviews. You do a few of them,
- 47:35Speaker 1: you know, especially if you're promoting something. So he's he
- 47:38Speaker 1: had he probably did several and I'm sure in every
- 47:41Speaker 1: one of them you get asked something about the Cowboys.
- 47:44Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's his team. So and that makes sense,
- 47:48Speaker 1: it sounds to me. And so the reason why I
- 47:51Speaker 1: say this is that an interview here, an interview on
- 47:54Speaker 1: the fan, an interview on NFL network, and interview here.
- 47:57Speaker 1: You know, all this sounds like to me is I'm
- 48:00Speaker 1: tired of talking about this team. I'm tired of it
- 48:04Speaker 1: because we've been talking about him for forever, how good
- 48:07Speaker 1: they might be, and potential here and there, and it
- 48:10Speaker 1: just hasn't happened. And here's a guy that you know,
- 48:13Speaker 1: he they won. They won when he was here. There
- 48:17Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of talking like that. You know, they
- 48:20Speaker 1: ended up you know, getting over the hump, and they
- 48:22Speaker 1: won three super Bowls and they were really good. They
- 48:24Speaker 1: were you know, team in the nineties all that stuff.
- 48:27Speaker 1: So that's why it's that's why I had to kind
- 48:31Speaker 1: of I want to hear exactly like what he said
- 48:35Speaker 1: in certain circumstances, just because it's you know, you can
- 48:38Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, you know, why why are
- 48:41Speaker 1: you saying this and that? But there was there was
- 48:43Speaker 1: probably five or six different interviews. I think his point
- 48:46Speaker 1: overall is, you know, it's time to stop talking and
- 48:50Speaker 1: start doing something. But that doesn't that doesn't work. I
- 48:54Speaker 1: mean that that isn't the way it is. You don't
- 48:57Speaker 1: stop talking, you try to get better and and you know,
- 49:00Speaker 1: I don't know if the you know, the Cowboys get
- 49:03Speaker 1: get accused a lot of you know, pumping themselves up.
- 49:06Speaker 1: But we know that's not the case, you know, I
- 49:08Speaker 1: mean most of the time, it's it's the media and
- 49:11Speaker 1: fans or whatever that that does that. And you know
- 49:14Speaker 1: that they project the Cowboys to be this. I think
- 49:17Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to the super Bowl, and then
- 49:19Speaker 1: when it doesn't happen, then it's what did they do
- 49:22Speaker 1: wrong to not get there? When in reality is sometimes
- 49:26Speaker 1: the you know, sometimes the media and the fans they
- 49:30Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about either. You know, they
- 49:32Speaker 1: didn't have them pegged correctly. But yet no one ever
- 49:34Speaker 1: says that. They just say, well, you know, bad coaching,
- 49:38Speaker 1: bad leadership, no heart, you know, whatever it is as
- 49:42Speaker 1: opposed to they weren't good enough. They weren't good enough
- 49:45Speaker 1: to start the season, they weren't good enough at the end.
- 49:47Speaker 1: You know that that's probably the case in a lot
- 49:50Speaker 1: of a lot of areas, a lot of teams, a
- 49:52Speaker 1: lot of sports. It's always the same, you know, and
- 49:55Speaker 1: so there's always everyone's always looking for the reason, like
- 49:58Speaker 1: what's the reason when it's they weren't they weren't really
- 50:01Speaker 1: good enough. And that's that's what the reason was for
- 50:04Speaker 1: the Cowboys last year, you know, I mean, yeah, we
- 50:06Speaker 1: all thought they were going to beat the Packers. You know,
- 50:09Speaker 1: we did, but they weren't better than Green Bay, not
- 50:13Speaker 1: that day. And if they turned around and played again,
- 50:15Speaker 1: I'm not sure, you know, I'm not sure what would happen,
- 50:18Speaker 1: because you know, the Cowboys couldn't stop the run, and
- 50:21Speaker 1: they really couldn't run the ball, and you get into
- 50:23Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's the kind of football that it's going
- 50:26Speaker 1: to take to win games. All right, Mike in Delaware?
- 50:31Speaker 1: Are you there? Mike?
- 50:34Speaker 12: Hey? Can you hear me?
- 50:35Speaker 1: Nick? I can hear you. What's up?
- 50:37Speaker 5: Hey?
- 50:38Speaker 12: What's going on?
- 50:38Speaker 5: Nick? Good?
- 50:39Speaker 10: Good to hear you.
- 50:40Speaker 12: You have a great show man. Then my first time caller,
- 50:45Speaker 12: there we go, Hey, I just have a couple of points,
- 50:50Speaker 12: and then I want to finish all a favorite restaurant.
- 50:51Speaker 12: I didn't hear someone mentioned, I know you're a big
- 50:53Speaker 12: wrestling fan back in the day. You and I are
- 50:55Speaker 12: on the same.
- 50:56Speaker 1: Age, okay and so forth.
- 50:58Speaker 12: But I didn't realize that, and the you know, Zimmer
- 51:01Speaker 12: been hired that a lot of I didn't realize that.
- 51:03Speaker 12: The last three years, how you know, dan Quinn was
- 51:06Speaker 12: up in the box and so forth, And I didn't
- 51:08Speaker 12: get to hear your response to that previous caller, but
- 51:11Speaker 12: I think that's a big factor, like if he's on
- 51:14Speaker 12: the sideline. I mean, in my opinion, I think that
- 51:16Speaker 12: you know, he feels like when they're on the sidelines,
- 51:19Speaker 12: they're like they're with the players, and you know, the
- 51:21Speaker 12: whole last three years, I mean, the defense has been
- 51:23Speaker 12: doing great as far as stats and everything, but I
- 51:26Speaker 12: think that'll be a huge difference. I'm looking forward to that,
- 51:29Speaker 12: like when Zimmery gets on the sidelines next season, because
- 51:33Speaker 12: I think that's a big factor. You know, it's just
- 51:35Speaker 12: like it just to have a different perspective. But I
- 51:38Speaker 12: think that'll be huge and I'm looking forward to seeing that.
- 51:41Speaker 12: And then real quick on Tyron Smith, I'm you know,
- 51:45Speaker 12: he's been a great player for us, you know, over
- 51:47Speaker 12: the since he's been in the league, I think my
- 51:49Speaker 12: thirteen years and so forth. But I think maybe we
- 51:53Speaker 12: can if we can utilize or he uses the money
- 51:56Speaker 12: at that position, unless he decides on a reduced Obviously,
- 52:00Speaker 12: when he's in there, he's great. Looks like you know,
- 52:03Speaker 12: if he's uh, he did that practice schedule he was
- 52:05Speaker 12: on there, you know, helped the map because when he's
- 52:08Speaker 12: in there, he's definitely good and you know he's at
- 52:12Speaker 12: that position, but if we can get someone in the draft,
- 52:15Speaker 12: I'm all for it. And then a you know, a
- 52:17Speaker 12: solid stud linebacker obviously like everybody else is doing.
- 52:20Speaker 5: Because I just remember those.
- 52:21Speaker 12: Teams in the nineties and like when we were going
- 52:24Speaker 12: to the Super Bowls, like that defense was stellar. I
- 52:26Speaker 12: mean they were just flying everywhere to the ball, and
- 52:29Speaker 12: that's what I kind of missed, you know, it was
- 52:31Speaker 12: nice to see the Super Bowl ones. I'm just looking
- 52:34Speaker 12: forward to seeing my kids, you know, enjoy that Super Bowl,
- 52:37Speaker 12: you know, because I thought I'd never see it, you know,
- 52:39Speaker 12: back in the early eighties when they lost three straight up,
- 52:41Speaker 12: I'm never going to see it, and then it finally happened.
- 52:43Speaker 12: I was like, man, this is great. Real quick. I
- 52:46Speaker 12: know it's the inn the show, but a restaurant. Didn't
- 52:49Speaker 12: hear anyone ever say you might you probably should remember
- 52:52Speaker 12: this guy. I remember a guy by the name of
- 52:53Speaker 12: SD Special Delivery Jones and yellow tights. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 53:01Speaker 12: Special Delivery Jones and a quick story on the Georgia
- 53:05Speaker 12: Animal Steel. I met him in person, and this was
- 53:07Speaker 12: like ten or eleven. We used to go down to Wildwood,
- 53:10Speaker 12: New Jersey at the convention Center and wrestle. He got
- 53:12Speaker 12: out of his limo and I don't know if I
- 53:14Speaker 12: knew it was like an you know, wrestling was like
- 53:16Speaker 12: just an entertainment.
- 53:18Speaker 7: I saw it.
- 53:18Speaker 12: You know, it's ten or eleven at the time. He
- 53:20Speaker 12: got out of the limousine and his wife was dropping
- 53:22Speaker 12: was in there, and he acted so normal. It just
- 53:25Speaker 12: shocked me. You know, he was in the ring, he
- 53:27Speaker 12: was going all crazy and everything.
- 53:28Speaker 1: But yeah, tuckle and stuff like that.
- 53:31Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, Oh it was crazy. He had to just
- 53:34Speaker 12: see him kind of kneimal. I was like, man, he's
- 53:36Speaker 12: just like a regular guy. So it's just, you know,
- 53:38Speaker 12: it's kind of weird to see that. But Nick, your
- 53:41Speaker 12: show has been great. I appreciate what you're doing, and
- 53:43Speaker 12: you base so glad you got this show. Though it's
- 53:46Speaker 12: jumped off, this show started off, it's it's been great.
- 53:48Speaker 12: But doing a great job. And thanks for taking my call.
- 53:51Speaker 12: I appreciate your time.
- 53:52Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you.
- 53:53Speaker 5: Mike.
- 53:53Speaker 1: All Right, we don't have many callers from Delaware. I
- 53:56Speaker 1: mean we have had one in the past, but maybe
- 53:59Speaker 1: only two, two or three. So I'm still disappointed about Massachusetts.
- 54:04Speaker 1: They don't have one from Massachusetts, big enough state. I
- 54:07Speaker 1: think there would be some there, all right, good good stuff.
- 54:13Speaker 1: You know, we had talked a lot about Emmitt Smith,
- 54:16Speaker 1: and I appreciate Chris kind of pulling out one of
- 54:19Speaker 1: the quotes here that he that he found from the
- 54:22Speaker 1: you know, again, he was on Radio Row. He probably
- 54:25Speaker 1: did several interviews, so, you know, talking about the Cowboys
- 54:29Speaker 1: in a different way. I'm gonna read a quote that
- 54:31Speaker 1: he said here. He says, no one wants to fight
- 54:34Speaker 1: hard anymore. They want to say, oh, we are the Cowboys.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Tell me how good I am. Check out my Instagram posts,
- 54:39Speaker 1: see me on my podcast. I'm doing all this stuff.
- 54:42Speaker 1: I'm everything without doing anything, and everybody's patting them on
- 54:46Speaker 1: the back. People want to give them so much without
- 54:49Speaker 1: doing nothing. And what they're living off of is what
- 54:52Speaker 1: happened in the past, not what's going down right now.
- 54:55Speaker 1: They're not establishing their own legacy, let alone building off
- 54:59Speaker 1: the legacy that was established Emmitt Smith. I mean, there's
- 55:07Speaker 1: a lot there that'd be really why don't we just
- 55:10Speaker 1: call them by name? I mean seriously, I mean that's
- 55:13Speaker 1: that's what I feel like. All of all of this
- 55:17Speaker 1: is like towards Micah, you know, I mean, that's just
- 55:21Speaker 1: what it feels like to me. And there's so much
- 55:23Speaker 1: to unpack there. I don't that doesn't really make sense
- 55:27Speaker 1: to me. Everyone's patting them on the back. Who's everyone?
- 55:32Speaker 1: And whose fault is that?
- 55:34Speaker 5: You know?
- 55:34Speaker 1: I mean, whose fault is that that they're getting padded
- 55:37Speaker 1: on the back? I mean, you know, your job is
- 55:40Speaker 1: to is to get your team ready to play in
- 55:44Speaker 1: the training camp so you can get to the regular
- 55:46Speaker 1: season and play well. And then when you do that,
- 55:49Speaker 1: your job is to win those games, and you need
- 55:51Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs. And then you get into
- 55:52Speaker 1: the playoffs, you got to win those games to get
- 55:54Speaker 1: to the super Bowl and you got to win. And
- 55:57Speaker 1: that's the thing. I mean, they're doing that. Then they
- 56:00Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and they don't win. But it's
- 56:02Speaker 1: almost like it's it's their fault for fooling everyone. When
- 56:05Speaker 1: you got fooled, we all did, so I don't know
- 56:08Speaker 1: who we're blaming here. And building off the legacy, I
- 56:11Speaker 1: mean it's been twenty eight years. I mean a lot
- 56:14Speaker 1: has been There's a lot of teams trying to build
- 56:17Speaker 1: off this legacy. Uh, and it just it hasn't happened.
- 56:21Speaker 1: And it's not about building it's really not about building
- 56:23Speaker 1: a legacy. It's it's about getting your team good enough
- 56:26Speaker 1: to go win. That's that's all it is. And I
- 56:29Speaker 1: don't know, I disagree with some of that, and I've
- 56:32Speaker 1: always disagreed with sometimes with former players, former players talking
- 56:37Speaker 1: about current team, current you know, locker room and chemistry
- 56:43Speaker 1: and all that stuff, when you just don't know. And
- 56:46Speaker 1: I'm not talking about them a specifically, I'm saying just
- 56:48Speaker 1: in general. You know, former players know what it's like
- 56:51Speaker 1: to be that their locker room, and they're when they
- 56:53Speaker 1: played their time, you know, and and their game. But
- 56:57Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's it's always a little difficult
- 56:59Speaker 1: for I for former players to talk about current state
- 57:02Speaker 1: of the teams, not about players, but about just where
- 57:05Speaker 1: the team is, what's going on, because you don't really
- 57:08Speaker 1: know all what's going on behind the scenes. That's that's
- 57:12Speaker 1: always been my saying, all right, let's go one more
- 57:14Speaker 1: call here. Robin Vegas, I said you hadn't called, and
- 57:17Speaker 1: you probably you know, I said, he probably won't, But
- 57:20Speaker 1: I didn't say that because you never know, and you
- 57:22Speaker 1: got in there.
- 57:23Speaker 17: Yeah, I was in a meeting and then I got out.
- 57:26Speaker 1: You know what, guys, I gotta go. I'm getting called
- 57:29Speaker 1: out here on this show.
- 57:30Speaker 5: I have to go.
- 57:31Speaker 17: I said, how dare you schedule us?
- 57:33Speaker 12: Now?
- 57:35Speaker 17: I thought the Zimmer interview was great. I saw a
- 57:38Speaker 17: different side of him, you know, not that I really
- 57:40Speaker 17: need a lot, but he's got a personality.
- 57:43Speaker 9: I mean, he looked loose.
- 57:45Speaker 17: And I'll tell you the one thing I know. He's
- 57:46Speaker 17: no threat to Mike McCarthy. You know, he's coming in
- 57:51Speaker 17: to do his job. You're not going to hear he
- 57:53Speaker 17: may be the Knicks head coach. I don't see that.
- 57:55Speaker 17: Even if Mike mccauchy don't work out if this year.
- 57:58Speaker 17: I just think he's no threat. And I think that
- 58:01Speaker 17: matters because all we heard about dan Quinn is, you know,
- 58:04Speaker 17: Michaelcarthy messes up dan Quinn maybe the guy, but then
- 58:08Speaker 17: once dan Quinn wasn't the hot girl anymore. And his defense,
- 58:12Speaker 17: you know, we didn't look at it the same. That's
- 58:13Speaker 17: why I think he got out of it and said listen,
- 58:15Speaker 17: let it go now.
- 58:16Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, talking.
- 58:18Speaker 17: About Emmett, I agree with Emmott about one thing. Yes,
- 58:23Speaker 17: they played a different game back then. It was a
- 58:26Speaker 17: different animal they were they were. It was a way
- 58:29Speaker 17: more physical game. It was a better game for fans.
- 58:32Speaker 17: The rest didn't get involved. I don't think it has
- 58:34Speaker 17: anything to do with their living off the coketails of
- 58:37Speaker 17: the nineties teams. These guys weren't even alive yet, and
- 58:41Speaker 17: so I just think it's just different areas and you know,
- 58:44Speaker 17: guys like that that win it back then.
- 58:47Speaker 16: Michael.
- 58:47Speaker 17: Of course they're going to say we were better. We
- 58:49Speaker 17: would have and they were. I mean that was you know,
- 58:51Speaker 17: all those teams. I don't know if you saw the
- 58:54Speaker 17: ESPN Top five NFL Dynasties, did you see that? No,
- 59:00Speaker 17: So they had the forty nine Ers, the Green Bay
- 59:05Speaker 17: Packers who didn't even play in the Super Bowl era,
- 59:07Speaker 17: the Patriots, the Steelers, and the Chiefs. They left the
- 59:10Speaker 17: nineties Cowboys off that list. And I'm like, you know,
- 59:14Speaker 17: usually I don't watch.
- 59:15Speaker 12: Those shows, and I.
- 59:18Speaker 17: See it and I'm like, this is how ridiculous this
- 59:21Speaker 17: is that to me? And I know I'm biased, but
- 59:24Speaker 17: if I was to make a line, of course, living
- 59:26Speaker 17: in Vegas, they would be favored over all the teams.
- 59:30Speaker 17: Forget about Green Bay and the Steelers. They would demolish them.
- 59:32Speaker 17: Those guys were way too small. So I don't even
- 59:35Speaker 17: compare those ears. But the forty nine ers they already
- 59:38Speaker 17: beat them, the Patriots and the Chiefs. So let's put
- 59:44Speaker 17: it this way. I know that ninety Cowboy players could
- 59:47Speaker 17: play in today's era, but I don't know if today's
- 59:50Speaker 17: players could play back then. Yeah, I mean so I
- 59:55Speaker 17: just looked at that and I said, are you kidding me?
- 59:56Speaker 17: You would have took that nineties team with you all
- 1:00:00Speaker 17: the Hall of Famery outfits of I mean, forget it.
- 1:00:02Speaker 17: And it was just and it just goes to show
- 1:00:06Speaker 17: they never they never could get over the Cowboys. They
- 1:00:09Speaker 17: love the Cowboys. They just can't get them out, you know,
- 1:00:13Speaker 17: you know, and it's just it's just funny.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: That's what that is, you know, interesting to look at
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: because there's there's six decades here. I mean, I mean
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: there's the eighties, there's the sixties, the seventies, the two
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: thousand Patriots, the two thousand decade, I guess, and then
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: the twenty twenty is I know, I know, I know
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: they kind of overlap some, but it seems like there's
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: there's there's five, and then there's there should be six.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys are the or would be the
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: nineties dynasty I mean, and I understand you don't do
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: a top six, but I mean there's six. There's six
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: dynasties here, you.
- 1:00:47Speaker 17: Know, yeah, and only the other I think the Patriots
- 1:00:51Speaker 17: were the only team to win three in four years? Yeah,
- 1:00:55Speaker 17: how do you not have the team that's done? I mean,
- 1:00:58Speaker 17: let's face it, all, you're going to be hearing about
- 1:01:00Speaker 17: Cheers the Chiefs trying to win three in a row,
- 1:01:03Speaker 17: you know. I mean, so now that to leave that
- 1:01:06Speaker 17: team off. The only reason why they left them off
- 1:01:08Speaker 17: is so we could talk about it, because if they
- 1:01:10Speaker 17: were to put them on, everybody was like, well, yeah,
- 1:01:12Speaker 17: of course right.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: And that's and that's the thing that goes back to
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: like what Emmett's saying. You know, another quote that he
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: said is I've never been at the place that I
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: am right now about this team. He's like, it's borderline embarrassing,
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Like how are you embarrassed? Like how are you embarrassing
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: with the Cowboys? Because I don't think the Cowboys put
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: themselves in this situation. I mean I think the cow
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: I mean, you go out, you win games, and then
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: you get everyone kind of hyped up and then they lose.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: But it's like they failed I don't know what with
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't know what the team is supposed
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: to do differently other than win and then and that's I.
- 1:01:44Speaker 17: Want to use the word embarrassing. I mean, if we
