• 0:21
  Speaker 5: Good morning, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Friday,
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: December thirteenth. Friday the thirteenth. Is that even thing I wonder?
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it is still a thing for
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: the younger generation they even know what that is. I mean,
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: I never actually watched any of those movies, but I've
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: heard about them, of course. But it's been that kind
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: of season I guess for the Cowboys to have a
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Friday the thirteenth type of year for them. So that's
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: what it is. This is where we are, Cowboys taking
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: on the Panthers. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: whatever you guys want. And you know, I'm sure it'll
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: be things that I don't want to talk about, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: that's where we are in the season. You guys have
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: have fought through it. So whatever it is, I'll do
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: my best to kind of, you know, go along with it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: because I understand we're not exactly just breaking down the
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: x's and o's of what Carolina's defense does and all that,
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: but it's more about who's going to play, how do
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: they look, and what does this mean? Everything is really
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: a rollover. What does it mean for next year? That's
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: why they overshown injury was so devastating for a lot
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: of fans, just because it seems like it's one of
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: those that could carry over. It probably will carry over.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: But like I said on yesterday show, my brief conversation
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: with Overshown was don't count me out. Tell everybody you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: don't count me out. So I'm not counting them out,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: and I guess what he's saying. He's talking about next season.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: But then again, they got to be smart about it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: They can't rush anybody back, and it's important for him
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: to get right when it's time to get right. Aight,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: A A eight five, five two two nine seven is
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: the number to call. We have a couple of callers
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: already on the line. Let's start us off with Anthony
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: and Miami. I'm sure he's in a bad mood. Anthony,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: what's up?
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: The quick?
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: My guy, My guy, it is real. I'm good. It
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: is rare that I called twice, but I liked it
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: so much, I'm gonna call you again. I already gave
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: my Carolina stuff yesterday today as the press of positivity
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: and always saying that I love everybody's calls, and there's
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: some truth in what everybody says. I got to dispute
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: some things and challenging. Rather, I ain't gonna dispute them.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna challenge some things. I heard it three callers
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: after me, Mister Rolston Vegas, who I've agreed with, who
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: I've called out his name a couple of times. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: don't talk to Rob or she Rob whatever, see how
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: he talks right interaction because I'm not on the story liners.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: I'm an off storyline team, but I'm not on the storyliner,
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: so I don't get that interaction with a lot of people.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: He says the things yesterday, and that's his thoughts and
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: his opinions, and I respect those, But some of the
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: things he said I really don't agree with. Now, the Joneses,
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I've defended them before, but I don't need to defend
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: the Joneses. They don't need my opinions, my defense or anything.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: So when you say all in, we've talked about that
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: at the appropriate time. That was when it was time
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: to really talk about it. In the off season when
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: he said it, I never really I agree with you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: It was about players. We talked about the youth movement,
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: what they were gonna use. You've already spent money on people,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: so you depending on those guys and you already all in.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: That's what I thought. Mister Jones meant, wow, could be wrong.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: So said something about deferring money and we're really not
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: nothing because we don't defer other teams do it? Blah
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: blah blah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I saw Tom Downey and I'm gonna do too. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: saw I heard Jeff Kavanaugh with Jessing them talk about
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: how you make a hundred million, you know, and then
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: and what you gotta do. You gotta restructure for people.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: You gotta cut to this and that, well, that money's
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: gonna have to come do. You gotta pay the devil
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: after a while. And I agree with you on that
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: because that's true and the Cowboys have already done that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: And I'll tell you how I think when people say that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: not saying rob or what a lot of people will
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: look with Philly doing. Look at what Detroit. Detroit take
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: them out because they've never done anything, and they always
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: get a top five pick or something like that, So
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: they build their team that way. Philly. Now they did it,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: but when they wanted to want a super Bowl, they
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: want to with a backup quarterback. Matter answers, The rounds
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: might be the only one you can look at saying that,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: But you didn't have O'Dell and Sue didn't make a
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: lot of money when you brought it in. So what
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: has to happen. The players that you invest in got
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: to do the job. Your coaches got to do the
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: job and do a better job. When the Cowboys twenty
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: one and twenty two, and this is the backup what
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: I'm saying, twenty one and twenty two, let's take those years.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: You were good, you were great. Ye had three twelve
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: or five seasons, You went to the playoffs. San Francisco
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: beat you by seven. So all this blowing out stuff,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: nobody threw the Cowboys out. They were right there, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: they wasn't. They didn't play smart enough to Randy Gregor's
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: and people like, they didn't play smart enough, and the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: coaches didn't have them prepared. As Mike McCarthy said later,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: they wasn't prepared to play the game, which is that's
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: kind of assinine to say something like that. All right, Okay,
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: twenty two he retired.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Huh Now, I'm just saying, let's let's let's move it. Like,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: tell me, tell me, I hear the point, I hear
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the message. Tell me tell me what you have a
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: question or.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: The Okay, okay, your players and your coaches. Your players
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: and your coaches really have to do that because you
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: can invest in people. You invested in Brandon Cooks, You're
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: invested in Stephan Gilmore. These are Super Bowl winners and
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: people like that. So you did that. So unless your
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: players and your coaches do it, and you were good
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: enough to do it, because your records showed that you
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: didn't show up. So mister Jones already did that. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: already invested. So you can't say you can spend one
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: hundred million and you're gonna guarantee yourself the super Bowl.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying. Let's just have a more positive
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: approach when it comes to the Cowboys. The Joneses are
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: gonna make the decision. They're gonna make the decision. So
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: we're gonna be fans, Oh we're not, and we're gonna
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: support them, Oh we're not. That's all I wanted to
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: say no harm in taking for anybody going to make.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: That, appreciate it, okay, thank you, you know, And and
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I there's a lot to that. I think this is
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: going back to the call yesterday that with with Rob.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's not talking about not supporting the
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: team and all that. I think what he was talking about,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: more than anything was ways that you can be competitive.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Don't sit here and tell us that you can't be competitive.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Here's some ways to be competitive, so you can create money,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: so you can go and do some some things. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: and there's I agree with some of it, but I
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: do think that that you can't just keep saying, well,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: this is how this is the approach every year. You're
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: just going to keep doing that. You're going to keep
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: taking out, you know, this loan and just keep pushing
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: it pushing. It doesn't work that way all the time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: But I think there's a middle ground. And I think
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: that that there's times where you say, all right, yes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: we're up against it here, but this player right here
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: that's available. We could get him if we needed to,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: we really wanted to, we could, we could get him.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: It's against our our model, it's against our playing overall
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: but let's make an exception here, and here's how we
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: do that. And I think that that's something I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys can do that. They don't do it as much, probably,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: but there's got to be some kind of middle ground.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: But but I you know, you can't just say, well,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: this is how they free up all this money. There's
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: a reason why they They can't do that all the time.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: And you know, you have you do have to field
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: a roster of fifty three players. I mean that's or
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: at least you know, that's what was told to me. Yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: last year in free agency, we could do some things,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: but next year, twenty twenty five, we're gonna have forty
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: five players on our team. So you know that that
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: doesn't seem, you know, do it, especially in the season
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: like this when they've probably played about seventy five. All Right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Irene in Falls Church, Virginia, Irene, what's up?
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: How are you good?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: How are you good?
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: Good?
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: Hay, I'm not going to get into the I wasn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: listening enough to be able to comment. I saw some
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: texts about it, but anyway, I just a quick story
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: and then a question if people want to answer. So
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: when I was in college. First year of college, I'm
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: sitting at the back of my class. I have my
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: Cowboys thermos. Somebody walks in and sees it and it's
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: just like Cowboys and I'm like, uh, what Washington Carolina Panthers.
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: My question for people that that was the first time
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: that in like a non really traditional rival ever got
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: in my face about being a Cowboys fan. So my
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: question for people, if they want to answer, is what's
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: the most random team that's shown you hate so not
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: including our division rivals or even like the Steelers, Packers
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: and forty nine ers. That's what I'm interested, all right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: By all right, random team that just to give some hate. Here,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: here's my thing to that. I don't really have a
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: problem with that. If your answer is a team, it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: it's the ones that say I hate the Cowboys. They
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: sucked them, bye bye bye. All right, well, who's your team?
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: I don't really have a team. I just watched the
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: game sometimes I don't, you know. I'm like, well, then
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: all right, you can go. You can shut the front
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: door because like, you know, nobody cares about that. You know, either,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: you know, come to the party, bring something to the part,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: don't just don't just walk in and say, oh, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: don't right, I don't really ca. I'm just here. I'm
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: just here for them for the good times. No bring something,
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: That's what it is. If you're a Panthers fans, Fine,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: they need them. You know we were there last year.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: They they need fans. So yeah, I mean that that's
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: that's cool. I mean, at least at least they have,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: you know, Fanny, if you want to talk about the Cowboys, fine,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that's Irene's question is there's been some random
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: random teams. I don't know if it gets better than
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: that of Carolina fans. They you know, especially talking to
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys. And I'm sure like we've been to a
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: super Bowl before you got or something crappy like that,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: not that they wanted ever. All right, let's go to
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Paul in Vancouver. How are you good?
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Hapy Friday? You too too, Thanks, try to be quick.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: Got a few things. So I enjoyed the show yesterday.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: I just I would hope people would, you know, look
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: at the facts before they criticize coaches and ask about
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: new I know we're not we're trying to get out
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: of you know, having talking about changes and things like that,
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: but I really like what coach McCarthy is doing. You know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: he's the pre snap penalties are down. He went to
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: Washington now coach Dan Quinn with an underman team. I
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: like how he's changed the play calling lately with you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: he's calls these plays on the first down to get
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: Cooper rush out of these long they're long. So I
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: feel a lot of positives and it's a great thing
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: when you know you're the start. Players are kind of
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: advocating for him, and yeah, you know, I just see
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: way too many positives. And if you look over the
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: last you know, over the last years, you know, Bill Belichick,
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: he he was part of, you know, the one of
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: the both talent poor teams in the league and he
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: had a big hand in it. McCarthy's won twelve games
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: three years in a row.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Over the years.
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: We talked about safety being an issue in the middle
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: of the defense, like he's coming and fixed all these things, right, So,
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: I just seen way too many positives. Yeah, So I
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: want to say that just had two questions if you
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: don't mind. So, like, I was really expecting Jalen Brooks
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: to take a step forward this year. He looked in
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: the preseason seemed like he had a connection with Cooper Rush.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: I really think him and guys like Tyler Guide need
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: to play. So he let me know what's going on there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: And it doesn't seem like Jaien Brooks has much of
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: a routree. Everything's kind of deep, So hopefully I'm wrong
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: on that, but I was really expecting more there and
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: give him. That was one of Carolina this week. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: never thought that Darren Woodson's last game would be that
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: playoff game two thousand and three, So I've always kind
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: of wondered to myself, like, if you would have stuck
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: around for another year, he could have played with Dware
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: in the five class. Have you ever thought that? And
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: I asked you a while ago what your favorite live
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: player was. I'm like, I didn't even realize that you
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: watch every game live, So do you have a favorite
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: play in Darren Woodson's career. I just want to yeah, yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: I want to share mine if yeah, quickly could because
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: then his last year in three, we were playing the
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: Bills and it look like a really rock them soccer
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: game was like ten six something like that, where we won. Uh,
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: they had a running back the Bills Travis Henry he
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: broke a run in the middle. This is that two
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: hundred and thirty back like he was kind of in
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: a Marshaun Lynch style, like he was a beast, like
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: thirteen hundred yard year and Darren Woodson just came out
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: of nowhere and just waid him out. Yeah, and that's
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: when I thought to myself, I'm like, he's just as
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: good as he wasn't year twelve, as he was in
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: year one, a year two of it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So he was.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: A rare guy. He was nice seeing you and Dallas
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: and nice thing.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: Well yeah, him in the media and what's been doing
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: so well, So all the best to him.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it, Thank you. Thanks Paul ill love
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: talking about Darren Woodson, no doubt about it, and a
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: lot of good stuff. There a lot of positive encouragement
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: for for what Mike McCarthy's doing. That not everybody does that,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and there are some things that you can point out
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: and you did that, so you know, there's that's that's
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: the thing about a play caller, you know, he gets
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: talked about that that one possession in the fourth quarter
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: when there it's five minutes to go and they ran
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: it on first down for thirteen or fourteen yards and
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: then after that pass past pass and had to punt.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: And so that's what you know him as a play caller.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: That's what you get talked about throughout the game. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: thought they did a pretty pretty good job. They were prepared.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: They scored first first drive of the first quarter, first
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: drive the third quarter. That was has happened all year.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: So anyways, nice nice call there. As for Jalen Brooks,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: you mentioned him, I think right now, I mean, he's
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: he'll play, he'll play some, but you're you really got
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: to see something in Mingo and and and and they
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: they want to see that here in these last four games,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: just because if you're gonna if you're gonna get something
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: out of a fourth round pick, you know, he was
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: a second round pick two years ago. He's a fourth
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: round you're gonna give a fourth round pick in next
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: year's draft. So when he gets to training camp, he
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: he needs to be far and away better than a
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: fourth round pick would be. This would be his third season,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: he'd have a few games with the Cowboys, and and
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: and hopefully a summer with Dak and things like that,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: so you know he he's gonna have to be advanced,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: and so you want you want him to get as
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: much as you can, and he'll plays somewhat the same
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: position as as Jalen Brooks. And then as for Darren
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: woodson story on the field and all that, I mean, yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: he was. You know. The ironic part is that he
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: you know, he set the record for most tackles and
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Cowboys career and he set it, you know, in the
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: middle of the game. With that, Emmitt Smith also broke
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the record. So that was with Walter Payton's record. That
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: was just Darren Woodson's career in a nutshell, that his
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: one of his best un field moments was actually trumped
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: by Emmett's on field moment. And that story of Darren
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Woodson's squer but a touchdown by the forty nine ers
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: was was a play I always remember for Woodson, how
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: impressive he is. Jerry Rice caught a slant in the
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety five game over the middle. They got a
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: matched up with the linebacker. He took it to the
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: house for about eighty yards right off the first drive
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: of the game. But Darren Woodson is chasing Jerry Rice
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: and he gets them, you know at the end and
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: basically it tackles him right at the end zone. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: I just look at from a speed standpoint, I'm like, wow,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: because Rice is on the move. That was his play
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: slant the house, and there's Darren Woodson chasing him down.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: You know as a big, strong linebacker slash safety, but
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: he could also play slot quarterer. And he's just he
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: was just a freak of an athlete. Should be in
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame. Hopefully we'll be. Let's go to
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Kevin in Philly.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: Kevin, what's up, Hey, what's going on?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: I'm going I'm good. I'm going to raise in Philadelphia.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: I've been a Dallas fan all my life, so I'm
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: sixty one, just turned sixty one a couple of days ago.
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: Been a Dallas fan to seventy seventy one.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I got three words for you. What's that rest? Yeah?
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Here we go, man, Here we go. Wasn't as loud
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: as I thought it would be. That's all right, first
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: time caller, happy to hear from you. What's going on?
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, and listen. Being a fan for so long, I
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: was listening to one of the other callers that he
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: was saying about, you know, are we going to support?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Are we going to be loyal?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: And I believe that true Cowboy fans will be, have been,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: and will continue to be loyal.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: But that doesn't mean we're not frustrated with the way
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: the organization.
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: Is being run.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Sure, you know.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: For me, you know, I think Jerry Jones needs to
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: be called the task I don't know why people don't.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Maybe they're fearful losing jobs or whatever.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: But as a businessman, I don't understand how you can
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: run the business that is not successful and still continue
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: to do things the same way year after year. And
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: I mean, I know, I don't know how much time
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: I have, So I'm just gonna rapid fire some things
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: and I'll hang up and lets you deal with it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, we all know Mike McCarthy's probably gonna be fired
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: next year.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: Doesn't really matter because with Jerry Jones hire, it's gonna
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: be another puppet.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Because the head coach job, but the Dallas Cowboys comes
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: with no authority, no power. You're just a game day coach.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: You don't even get to make decisions on what players
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: actually play. We don't understand why you give up a
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: fourth round pick to Trey Lance, and you still don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: use him, and this season is done, why not use
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Trey Lance and see what you can get with him.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: I don't like Mike McCarthy's played calling. I don't like
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: his time management. There is no way that Dallas will
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: ever hire a legitimate coach such as.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Hold on, yeah, let's let's talk for just a second
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: about this. So you you just said McCarthy doesn't make
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: the decisions based off of who plays in the game,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: So who does? Then? If he's not McCarthy, who's who's
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: making decision?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: Okay, So here's why I say that who's making the
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: decision to play Cooper Rush over Trey Lance? Because when
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: you look at Jerry Jones interviews, he's the one making
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: that call.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Who do you think, though, is the better
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: quarterback to win the game against the Panthers, Trey Lance
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: or Cooper Rush?
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: Right now, does that game mean?
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: No? No, no, okay, Now, just who do you think
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: it's the better quarterback to win this game? Who do
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you think? I think it's Cooper Rush? What do you
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: do you think it's Lance?
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: Well? I would say go with Lance and see what
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: he got. Okay, we don't know what he can do
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: in the You're not and because you're.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Not answering the question though, because you're you're going you
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: just keep talking big picture. I'm talking about this game.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Who wins this game? Who's the better quarterback for this game?
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I think it's Cooper Rush.
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: You know what I would say? Rush? Okay, I believe
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: that this game has something no and.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I understand that. I understand what you're saying. For Mike McCarthy,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: he is trying to win the game. He needs to
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: win this game for him. The coaches need to win
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: their record, all of it because they understand what's on
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: the line for them every single game. He's trying to
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: get a winning record. He doesn't want a losing record.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: He wants to go nine to eight. He's trying to
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: finish it. So if every game matters to him, so
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: he wants to go out and win the game. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: if Cooper Rush helps him win the game. So if
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: he wasn't making the decision, then it would be Trey Lance.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: So that's why I'm going to challenge you. I don't
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: think that Jerry's making the decision on this. I think
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I think Mike McCarthy's making the decision on.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: This really now. So, okay, has Cooper Rush, I agree,
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: has shown.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Flashes of brilliance.
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: I believe that he has shown the capability and being
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: able to win games. But I think that at this point,
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: because of the way the league is going, as far
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: as it being a position of athleticism, I think Trey
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Lance would be your better option as being a more
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: athletic quarterback.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: And you're right about that. I'm fine with playing both.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I'm playing I'm fine if they both go out there
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: and play some I think that that's where we are
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: part of the season. I wouldn't be as opposed to that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: But don't forget this. This is a really tricky situation.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are free agents next year,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: so you want to see what Trey Lance. You know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: who else won? The other thirty teams not the forty
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: nine ers, but thirty other teams would love for the
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Cowboys to play Trey Lance so they could get an
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: idea what he can do. Maybe they would like to
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: sign him as well. So who are you developing him for.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: That's what makes this thing kind of tricky. If he
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: had two or three years left on the deal, he's
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: the starter, no doubt about it. I want to see
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: him play. But that's what makes this thing kind of
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: different in unique. I know you had some other points.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Can we rapid fire with those a little bit?
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah? Defensively, I was really hoping that Mike Zimmer's defense
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: would have been a lot better. I don't know why.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: For whatever reason, Dallas cannot stop the run. Whatever reason
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: that is.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Losing five defensive ends could be one of the reasons.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: That could be one. True, that's one.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: And then you talked about the all l thing and
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Jermy saying he was all in and we haven't been
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: able to. We got Mazie Smith, but you lose during Armstrong,
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: you lose you know a lot.
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: Of key people.
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: And how are you all in if you're not replacing
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: these people or going after other people that can really
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: help solidify the defense.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm okay, all right. Well, hey, Kevin, appreciate the
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: call and appreciate you being a die hard cowboy fan
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: in Philly. Not easy. I understand that. I know it's not.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you've heard some nasty things along the way,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: probably this morning and so being in Philly, but hey,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: kudos to you. Thanks for the call. Appreciate that, uh call,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: going back.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: I love the show, I love the program. Man, keep
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: doing what you do. I'll keep supporting the Cowboys.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: I know you will. Boy l Hey, you definitely will.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: If you're a Cowboy fan. You said over sixty years
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: old in Philly, you've you've definitely you're You're true and
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: true all the way, you know. And I don't like
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: to sit there and just always throw out the injury situation.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: I know, I said that just now, and I think
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I hope you guys know that's fifty percent maybe a
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: little bit more sixty seventy percent of some of these issues,
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: you know, to say, I thought Mike Zimmer's defense would
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: be better, Yeah, I mean I think I think we
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: all thought it would be better too. But you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: injuries happen. There's no doubt. Injuries happen, and how are
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: you prepared for them? Yeah, that's a big, big thing.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: But when they hit the same position over and over
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: and over, that's where it gets. It's just too much
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: you can take. And this team already lost two defensive ends.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: They let Dorn's Armstrong go, they could not pay him.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: They let Dante Fowler go. I don't think anybody had
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: a huge problem with that. But he's had a nice
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: season in Washington. Let those two guys go knowing, Hey,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: they're gonna draft Marshawn Kneeland, they got Tank, they got Micah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Sam Williams has got to be the year. Well Sam
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: gets an a cl injury, DeMarcus Lawrence gets hurt in
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: week four, He's he's not coming back this season. I don't.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: I don't think so at all. Micah, you know he's
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: had the injury that that really affected them. Marshaw Kneeland
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: can't stay healthy. You know, he got hurt a little
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: bit there, and it's just been this revolving door of
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: of tryouts for defensive ends. Guys you've never heard of
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: have played a lot of football this year. And then
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: on the cornerback situation, Digs and Bland did not even
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: play together until this last game against Cincinnati. I mean,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: you guys had never know, we hadn't heard of over Warria,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Josh Butler, keem On Hall. You know, Kayln Carson has
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: had to place a lot like it's it's not been
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: what you what you wanted from the past rush standpoint,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: from the run stopping standpoint, and then obviously from the corners,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: and I even mentioned the linebackers, which the linebackers have
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: been somewhat healthy until now. Overshown that you look at
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: the injury report, there's like four linebackers on the injury report.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: So all right, we're gonna go to break real quick.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I know we got two callers on live. I got
• 25:13

• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Mike in a Popka, Florida. Mike, what's up? Man?
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: Nick?
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Hey? How you doing? Man?
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Good? How are you?
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic. Thanks. It's been a good year personally,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: not a great year on the football side of it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: But hey, I think you know, before I get start,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I just want to wish you and your family really
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: merry Christmas, happened New Year. If I'll get a chance
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: to talk to you again for that. I just really
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: think that this whole year is just been a revolving
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: kind of door. From the Packers game. Nothing write in
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: a Packers game, and nothing has gone right this season.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: It's just kind of been an evolution and kept going
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: on this year. And I think at the end of
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: the year we've got to stop kind of that that
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: movement and say, hey, it starts with McCarthy. He's got
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: to go. We got to get some somebody else in
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: here to to re energize his team and build for
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: the future. And part of I didn't hear your comments
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: are the really business work. So I didn't hear your
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: comments around what happened bunday night with the punt return,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the block and Ao, you know, touching the ball. But
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: from my perspective, he made a mistake. It was a
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: terrible play. He's got to know better. And then to
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: come out the next day and do an interview and
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: double down on his mistake to me, sends a clear
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: message that there's no accountability with the team. There's no
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: response ability for the for their actions.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: What would you do?
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: What?
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: What accountability? What a slap on the wrist, a fine,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: a cut? What would like you say, accountability? What would
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: you do there to to make him accountable for that
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: for that play? Cutting Nick?
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: If you're asking me, I would have cut him, Yes, okay,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: like like Jimmy Johnson did with Curb Richards.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no no, no, Jimmy Johnson. Curvin
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Richard fumbled twice. You know, he fumbled, he knows the rule.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: He fumbled. Uh, leon Let did the same thing. Would
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: you have cut leon Let?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah? But Nick. Remember, leon Lett is not the same
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: as Ao. Just like when right, you know, sleeping in
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: a meeting. You're not going to cut Michael. I understand.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I understand that's the problem though. You just you you're
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: you're talking about accountability, but you're also talking about the
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: fact that we're going to play favorites here, we're gonna
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: when we we are when we they all do. This
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: guy makes more money than this guy, so you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: you treat people differently, So you're gonna you're gonna cut
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: him because he made that, because he made that that play,
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: you cut him to set an example. If Curvin Richards
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: could play, he wouldn't have been cut, you know.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: So that's what I'm saying. Okay, you gotta say. You
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: gotta say, hey, you can't come out the next day, Nick,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: and say, listen, I stand by screwing up the game
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: and costing the game, to be costing my teammates the game.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I stand by the mistake I made, Like.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta at least have some remorse.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: And say, look, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: touched it. I should have ran away when everybody was
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: yelling get away and get away.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Let me let me tell you, Mike, let me tell
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: you this though that he talked after the he talked
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: like the next day. He didn't talk after the game.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I was standing ten feet from his locker with three
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: other reporters trying to talk to him, and CJ. Goodwin
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: was was and Jordan Lewis was blocking it. It was
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: going to happen. He and I was told, if you
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: had been in here ten minutes earlier, you understand why
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: this wasn't happening. Remorse, he had more remorse than you
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: could possibly fathom. He did not. I mean, he lost
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: the game and the season was already lost pretty much,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: but that was the nail. We know that. Everybody knows that.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So but then you can't come out the next day
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: to the media and to the fans and say, hey,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I own it. I made the mistake, and.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I'm standing by making a mistake. You got to stay to.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: The media, Yeah, I made the mistake. I'm sorry. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: screwed up. But he didn't do that. I mean, if
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: he felt that remorseful during where he's got to get
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: teamags to block him so you gotta can talk to him,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: then he's got to come out and say I screwed
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: that up, man, that's I know better. I made that mistake,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: not say listen, I just doubled down. I made the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: mistake too bad. I screwed the game up. Like to me,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: you got to you gotta own it. And McCarthy's got
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a home guys accountable. I mean they you know, the penalties,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: the dumb plays like.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: None of these guys.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: McCarthy doesn't hold any of these guys accountable for this stuff.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: And it gets frustrating watching.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Because you're like, guy, you know, if you're really fighting
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: for your job.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Then you got to hold these guys accountable and say
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: we're not going to accept this kind of performance.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Hold the guys accountable that you don't think are good players,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: not not CD who can't stay on side. Sometimes CD
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: is looking ahead and dropping the pass every now and again.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: That's why that's why you don't pay guys like CD
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: all that money and Dack all that money, because they're
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: not the leaders that hold their teammates accountable when they
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: make these mistakes. And like Irvin and Emmett and Troy,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: those guys held the other teammates accountable. The coach didn't
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: even have to do it because they managed it. We don't.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: We don't have these leaders on this team.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 32:55
  Speaker 14: We don't.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know that. I mean, I don't
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: know those stories that of them holding him accountable and
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: how all that went down in the nineties, I'm not sure.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, they were. It was a great team, a
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: great players. There was no salary cap for most of
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: that and and they you know, they benefited from it
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: with great with great players. But as far as you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: you have you have big time players that are also
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: making mistakes as well. So that's why, you know, that's
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: that's why this thing could get tricky. You know, you
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: want to be held these guys accountable, but uh, sometimes
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: you're some of your best players are the ones making
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: the mistakes as well. But I get it. It's it's
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: it's a frustrating thing. Thanks for the call, Mike. Mike's
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: one of the ogs, man, He's one. He's one of
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: those callers from way back when we were doing Tuesday
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: nights at the Ranch with Mickey. All right, let's go
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: to Dylan Northport, Florida. If he's still around, Dylan, he's
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: still there.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: Hey, I'm here. My beard's a little longer now, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: it's all good, A little great. Ye last call, dude,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not cutting AO. He was a sufficient
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: enough backup player to fill in when our guys were hurt.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: He made, you know, a bonehead play during a season
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: that was already lost.
• 34:03
  Speaker 14: So what the hell is.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: Even the point doesn't matter. I'm not I would have
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: cut Zeke instead of uh suspend, you know, basically spending
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: him the game a long time ago to make an example.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: If that's where we want to go, I'm not cutting
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: a O. I think that's silly, very silly. Yeah, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: want to talk about Rob's call yesterday. Dude, he he
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: mentioned me, me my name.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: At one point, He's got you as the cathologist of
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: the storyliner, so like, yeah, he's got you. Got to
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: figure it out.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: He's like, we have the Internet, we have dealing. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: felt like in The Avengers, like the one guy's.
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: Like, yeah, we have the Hulk.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: I felt like that at that point. I thought, that's
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: pretty cool. Rob appreciate that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: But I'm not.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: I'm not that smart, you know. I just I do
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: a little bit of research and plagiarize my work. I mean,
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: no big deal, but you know, he's not. He's not wrong. Uh,
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: in the fact that there's things you can do, you
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: can I think restructuring CD makes a lot of sense
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: because you can basically push his dead money out like
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: a decade, because you're going to extend him, you know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: after the four years again most likely, so that doesn't matter.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: You can cut Steel post you on, or you can
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: restructure Steel. You can restructure Diggs and that one of
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: them are really gonna have a long term impact if
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: you do that as far as the money goes. But
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: Dak is like the one that is obviously the biggest
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: percentage point of this whole thing. It takes the large
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: hunk of the cap. So you basically have two options
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: with Dak. Prescott right it out as is right, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: he's going to average about twenty four percent of the
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: cap every season. Next season he's like thirty two percent
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: of the cap, which is absolutely insane. For reference, a
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: quarterback hasn't gone to the Super Bowl with more than
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: you know, coming from more than seventeen percent of the
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: cap since twenty fifteen. The average is eight percent of
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: the cap. So like, if you have a quarterback taking
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: thirty percent of the cap, like good luck yeah, God bless.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: The other option is to restructure him, and they did
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: build in four or four years into his deal. There's
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: no money assigned to those board years as it is
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: right now, but that tells me they at least put
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: the lever in to pull the trigger on a restructure.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: And you know, if you do that, you can afford
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: players now, but it's gonna sucking twenty twenty nine when
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: all that money comes due at that termination of his contracts.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: So it's like, do you want to have four years
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: left of Dak Prescott with potentially being able to sign
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: good players, or do you want to just kind of
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: roll the money over from his old contract into this
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: new one here, you know, amortize it out over four
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: years and then you don't have a big penalty at
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: the end. So it's like kind of craft the options
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: both ways. But that's you know, where you're asked, like
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: what do you do? You know, that's the question I
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: guess for this offseason.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. And it's one of those things too,
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: where like you know, pushing out the money for CD
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: makes more sense, Pushing it out for Dak three or
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: four years ago makes more sense. But when you keep
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: pushing the money out at some point like this, this
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: has got to be the contract where like this is
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: it for Dak, So keep pushing money with him and
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: adding more years to him. You know that this is
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I think you got to play it out with with Dak.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: If you you know, you signed them, this is what
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: you have to do. You got to hope that the
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: cap goes up to the point where you can probably
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: still function. But I don't, I don't know. I think
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: you have to kind of ride it out here with
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Dak at this point.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know how I feel, man, because we've
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: seen them have ample cap room before and they don't
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: really bring in external guys. So at first, I'm like,
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: restructure Dak. You're going to have them for four years.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: Let's get you know, the most out of him by
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: signing other guys. And I'm also like, Okay, we've had
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: room before and they don't really bring in big outside names,
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: so is there really a point in doing that. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: then it's not like you're sacrificing a single season in
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty nine. You're potentially losing guys in twenty twenty
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: nine when you have that giant cat tit because you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: you can't extend other guys or sign other guys that
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: you want to sign because of Dak's dead money at
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: that point. So that could be a not just a
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty nine problem, but a twenty twenty nine and
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: beyond problem if you lose certain players because of Dak's
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: dead money at that point. So I don't really know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: I'm not kind of riding the fence on that one.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: If you restructure or not. Like I said, they had
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: the levers built in. I think they're probably going to
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: because you can't, like you can have a guy taking
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: up thirty the cap and be okay. But I mean,
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: I don't really know for sure, So I guess we'll see.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well obviously, well we will see. And and you
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: know you have anything else dealing, we're gonna keep it moving.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: No, man, that's it.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: I know you're busy.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Well I appreciate that. I know you were. You you
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: guys talk about the stuff on the on the storyliners,
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: you know, spaces on on Twitter, and and you know
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: that's where a lot of this this came from. And
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: and and yes, I mean, like I've said a couple
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: of times, like you can all yeah, you can. You
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: can get money. You can you can figure out ways
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: to to save some here and there. You can cut
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: players and trade some and you can create space. But
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: but you know, you also got to remember when you're
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: doing some of these, some of these moves, you you
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: also have to you know, you have to fill fill
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: that that spot.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: And h.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: I think there's a there's also a notion too that
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: like fans don't really consider you re signing your players
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: as doing something other than obviously DAK you know, because
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: it makes so much sense there, I mean, because it's
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: so big on the salary cap. But like you know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: re signing your own players and things like that, Like Nope,
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: I don't think fans look at that like, hey, we're
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: doing something like last year. Remember remember last training camp
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: where it was like it was steel and then it
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: was Hooker and it was digs to start with, and
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: you know, and like, you know, you're signing these guys.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, the Cowboys look at their own roster and
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: look at all these free agents and look at these
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: guys that go, hey, we gotta get this guy, this guy,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: this guy done. So you know, I don't think they
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: always look at saying we need seventy eighty ninety million
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: dollars so we can go out and get all these
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: other players now every once in a while, I think
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: it would be nice. I do think players need fresh starts.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I think that a change of scenery, and I do
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: think you can you can get some free agents every
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: now and again. They could come in and help. I
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: would like to see the Cowboys do that more than
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: they do, but I I understand it. But at the
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: same time, it's been you know, a long time at
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: this and we haven't seen the ultimate payoff like that.

• 42:13
  Speaker 14: American women. Now, I've only been to the US once

  Speaker 14: and that wasn't my experience. But you know, cracking film.
• 42:21
  Speaker 14: So I tried to tried to call you earlier in
• 42:23
  Speaker 14: the week and I was mostly don't start, don't start
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: that argument.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: Start that one off, definite?
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: Is it a Christmas movie? I I've tried to call
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: you earlier in the week and I was mostly going
• 42:40
  Speaker 14: to talk about demo, but I think people have have
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: covered that very well. But just to add my my
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: thoughts and what a fantastic human being. If only one
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: can can fight this off, it's it's him. So a
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: great story you told, so uh, all the best to him.
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: We'll be thinking of him. So Rob versus Nick. This
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: was a lot of fun yesterday. And you know, I
• 43:04
  Speaker 14: get it. I get the frustration. I'm kind of team
• 43:08
  Speaker 14: Nick on this one. I feel like with with Stephen Jones, Yeah,
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: he said what he said. I think there might be
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: an element of expectation management in that. I don't think
• 43:21
  Speaker 14: it's that we're going to do nothing. And I think
• 43:23
  Speaker 14: you mentioned middle ground earlier. I think that's where we'll
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: end up. But the thing with with what Rob is
• 43:30
  Speaker 14: saying is, you know he's gone on yesterday he said,
• 43:36
  Speaker 14: he's lying, we can do this, we can get one
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: hundred million and so forth. Well we can, but at
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: what costs? And you know, there's a over the cap,
• 43:46
  Speaker 14: there's a there's a calculator tool. So I would say
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: to Rob, go on, And I love Rob. I'm not
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: dissing Rob at all. Rob's absolutely fantastic. He's great entertainment.
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: But go on, over the cap. Make your plan, including
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: for our got something like thirty three agents. We've got
• 44:00
  Speaker 14: back up quarterbacks as it stands. Next year, we've got
• 44:02
  Speaker 14: all that to do. Come back, What is your plan
• 44:06
  Speaker 14: and what is the cost of it in twenty twenty eight,
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: twenty twenty nine, and do you accept that? Because in
• 44:11
  Speaker 14: twenty twenty five you're not accepting that, so at some
• 44:16
  Speaker 14: point you've got to pay. So but it's a great
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: conversation and I really really enjoyed that. I mean, part
• 44:23
  Speaker 14: of it is, you know, fourteen million for cutting Terence Steel. Now,
• 44:28
  Speaker 14: maybe they'll do that, maybe they won't. But Jones is
• 44:31
  Speaker 14: Mantra is we like our guys, so I suspect they
• 44:33
  Speaker 14: won't do that, and if they do, you've got to
• 44:37
  Speaker 14: get someone else in there. So there's a lot of
• 44:40
  Speaker 14: work to do one way and another this summer, and I,
• 44:43
  Speaker 14: like you said, I think middle Grounds is the way.
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: Let's let's get some guys, but it's not going to
• 44:49
  Speaker 14: be game changes in the off season. I don't think
• 44:54
  Speaker 14: I'll leave you with that, so you can get another
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: caller or two on.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: Thanks Mike, appreciate that. Yeah, then you make you make
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: some good points there. You know, it's not always it's
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: it's a complicated thing when you're going and do multiple
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: multiple years, and you know, I don't think I don't
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: know if that's exactly what he was he was saying
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: or even caring about. He was talking about more next year,
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: going year to year. Things change all the time, and
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: that's that's what makes it tough. You do have an
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: eye towards the future, but at the same time, you've
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: got to figure out what you're doing right now, you
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: know as well, And that's what that's what these fans
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: care about. You know, what have you done for me today?
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: So all right, let's go to Robbie and Cocoa Beach, Florida.
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: What's up, Robbie, I missed the day yesterday. What's going
• 45:46
  Speaker 11: on with me?
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean you because if you The
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: thing is, we have a stipulation on this show that
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: if you call seven days in a row, you become
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: a co host on the show. And it was just six,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: so you're out.
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: So okay, I got to start a news trend. Then
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: I'll start again.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: That's a joke. Actually, that's a giant caller. Some of
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: the other callers that you know, seven in row you
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: said on that one Friday. Yeah, now you guys are
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: all you guys are already co hosts. That's that's what
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: We're talking and we're hanging out with it.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: Right when people say you do a show by yourself,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: I was like, no, I don't. I don't know you guys,
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: And if you don't, Chris starts talking. So it's all good.
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: And we'd love to hear Chris talk.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:31
  Speaker 11: Still the hardest working man at the Cowboys, besides the
• 46:34
  Speaker 11: players and the coaches. You know, the coaches put in
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: an hours.
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: I thought for sure we'd hear it. Yeah, I knew
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: that was coming. Yeah, all right, what else? What do
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: you got?
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 46:45
  Speaker 16: Man?
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 46:46
  Speaker 11: What are we going to do this weekend?
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: Like hang out? Like what what do you mean?
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Like in the game, in the game, the game.
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: I thought you were coming to Carolina. I was like,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know, what are we what are we going
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: to do? I think it's going to be a game
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: where Carolina gets out to an early lead and then
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys got to figure out if they want to
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: if they want to rally, and they want to they
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: want to punch back because I think I think they're
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: going to get a punch right in the face early
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: on in this game. I think Caroline is playing well, uh,
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: to their standards, let's be real clear about that. To
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: their own standards of three and nine, I think that
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: they're playing well. I think Bryce, to his standards, is
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: playing well better. Yeah, and well he should be the
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: number one pick in the draft, you know.
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: But but hey, listen, we've talked about that with trade trading. Micah,
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: we don't know what the number one draft always is.
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how many bus have been the first pick?
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: Well I can name a five picks off to head.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Probably, Well, you're not getting the number one pick too,
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: just by trading him, you know what I mean?
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: I know, I agree, I would not trade Mikey. You
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: know what I'm at.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well, I think it's I think it's also
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: team Jerry.
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: You know, yeah, Jerry. I don't think the Cowboys I.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: Don't think they want to trade Micael at all. There's
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: some people in the organization that that have have talked
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: about it and what it would mean and what what
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: you could do that, but I don't I don't think so.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's.
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: Been around provercial Walker trade though. I mean, you're not happening.
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: Eight players, three first round picks. You know that's never
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: gonna happen.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, that's not happening. That was remember
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: that was pre trade. Uh salary cap?
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: Salary cap? Yeah, well, I kind of still wish we'd
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: go back to no salary cap like the Yankees or
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: the Mets and always in the Super Bowl there'd be
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: a couple of teams with us, though there'd be some
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: teams and the parody would not be as fun. I
• 48:43
  Speaker 11: agree with that.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: No, No, I wouldn't be It wouldn't be as fun,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: but it would be cool for the Cowboys.
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: It would be cool for a Cowboys. Yes, sir, all.
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: Right, good day you two.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: All right, see you later. All right, let's go to
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: Leicester and Minnesota be our last call. Leicester.
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: What's up, hey, how you doing out there.
• 49:04
  Speaker 16: I'm loving my young offensive lineman, especially Hoffman. I notice
• 49:10
  Speaker 16: that Rico a lot of times when he runs. I
• 49:13
  Speaker 16: don't have the all twenty two or whatever that is,
• 49:15
  Speaker 16: but I just watch it a lose as close as
• 49:17
  Speaker 16: I can. Most of the time he runs right behind Hoffman,
• 49:22
  Speaker 16: Haffmon goes up to the second level and gets the
• 49:25
  Speaker 16: next linebacker or safety or whatever. I'm loving that. My
• 49:29
  Speaker 16: favorite Christmas movie is It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey.
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: We're doing this next week. We're gonna go Christmas movies.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: We'll do it next week for sure. But you know what,
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: that's good you call in get us going. It's a
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: wonderful life. That's that's yours. We'll take a poll next week.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it all all next week, even though
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: next week is going to be a really weird week
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: for the schedule. I'm just warning you guys. Now, changes
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: on the schedule Tuesday, changes on the schedule on Thursday.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: Maybe Friday, there will be in those shows just throwing
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: it out there. Next week will be a different week
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: for Cowboy Storylin.
• 50:04
  Speaker 16: Yeah, okay, I like it. And I think what as
• 50:07
  Speaker 16: far as Rob from Vegas, what he I think what
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: he was saying. I think he did say it. He
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: just wants to to win NFC championship and or a
• 50:19
  Speaker 16: super Bowl, so he's saying, just let's just do it.
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: I mean, all the other little things I guess. I
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: don't know if he thought about that or whatever, but
• 50:29
  Speaker 16: I think his main point was just let's just get there,
• 50:33
  Speaker 16: and let's go all in.
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: And get there.
• 50:35
  Speaker 16: And I know you gotta be responsible and everything, but
• 50:37
  Speaker 16: he's saying, I mean, he even said it, well we'll we'll,
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: we'll take you know, three years from him from now
• 50:44
  Speaker 16: being one and fifteen, if we can go to the
• 50:46
  Speaker 16: super Bowl, you know, pretty soon. I think that's what
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: he meant. But anyway, hey, I just want't ended with
• 50:54
  Speaker 16: what I always ended with until we get a good,
• 50:57
  Speaker 16: very good offensive and defensive line. Cowboys fans, this is
• 51:01
  Speaker 16: what we got, Cowboys. Oh my score be twenty four
• 51:06
  Speaker 16: ten Cowboys Cowboys?
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: All right, sounds good. I also want to throw in
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: thanks for the call lester. Sergeant Sue had texted earlier
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: in the show said defense looks even better against these panthers.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Dallas wins twenty six to twelve. This delusion is deliciously delightful.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: That's an inside joke there that he's been saying. I
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: think I heard say that on the storyliners last week.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: All right, yeah, and to the point, I've never heard
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: anybody that didn't call in the show that's been referenced
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: as much as as my man robed from Vegas. So
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: why you're the captain man? Because but you know, I
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: think more than anything what was saying was it. I mean,
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: just think about that day that you've had, you know
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: where maybe you had car trouble here and they got
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: in trouble at work, boss goes on to you or something,
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: and then you get home and you're dealing with stuff
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: here and you know, own burn the food and all
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: this stuff, and you're going to bed and you go,
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: you know what, tomorrow's gonna be worse, Like nobody wants
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: to hear that. You want to go to bed and
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: you're like, you know what, it's gonna be better tomorrow.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: And that's what that's what it kind of feels like
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: like this bad year, I'm dealing with it. Oh, next
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: year is going to be worse than this. Well, nobody
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: wants to hear that, and I understand the frustration there.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: All right, next week we will be back on Monday
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: talking about this Cowboys Panthers game, and as I said before,
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: some changes in the schedule. Tuesday show is going to
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: be at a different time and maybe some other changes
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: as well. I don't think we'll have a show next
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: Friday because we have a work event there. I think
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: that's gonna be a lot of changes all over the
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: place next week with it with the podcast, So stay
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: tuned for that and bear with us. Get to this
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: holiday week. All right, Let's see what happens Cowboys and
• 52:50
