- 0:58Speaker 1: good chance to play. Jordan Lewis may be coming as well.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But not just those guys coming back. There's gonna be
- 1:04Speaker 1: something that they lose. We'll see about it. Looks like
- 1:06Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson that probably has no shot to play, had
- 1:08Speaker 1: a concussion short short week obviously six days, not going
- 1:14Speaker 1: to be able to play this week. I wouldn't think
- 1:15Speaker 1: and I wouldn't think the same for Zach Martin. But
- 1:20Speaker 1: I was told today that I still think there's a
- 1:24Speaker 1: shot he plays this year. I don't think he's played
- 1:25Speaker 1: his last game this season or in his career for
- 1:29Speaker 1: that matter. But but I don't know about him getting
- 1:32Speaker 1: back for this game against against Washington. A short week.
- 1:35Speaker 1: All right, phone lines, We've got a couple of callers
- 1:38Speaker 1: already on the lines. Let's get started here. Irene falls Church, Virginia,
- 1:42Speaker 1: what's up.
- 1:44Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, good morning. First off, the craziest thing
- 1:46Speaker 4: I've learned this week is that the schools on speed
- 1:48Speaker 4: live in Texas is lower than Virginia were at twenty five.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, he could have done it. He would have
- 1:57Speaker 1: been just fine. He could he could have. I actually
- 2:00Speaker 1: talked to him about that. He said he's never thought
- 2:04Speaker 1: of it that way. I'm like, why would you, you know, like,
- 2:06Speaker 1: why would you think of it that way? Of course
- 2:08Speaker 1: you wouldn't, but no, it was kind of it was
- 2:10Speaker 1: kind of funny moment. But yeah, twenty.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Five huh, all right, twenty five?
- 2:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care about the kids there? All right? Cool? Nope, Uh,
- 2:18Speaker 1: are you going anyway?
- 2:20Speaker 5: Oh?
- 2:20Speaker 4: Man, I don't have the I don't think I have
- 2:22Speaker 4: the heart because here's the thing. The local team is
- 2:25Speaker 4: doing so well that the prices are like double what
- 2:27Speaker 4: they were, and I'm like, do I want to go
- 2:30Speaker 4: see Cooper rush and you know, throw to the get
- 2:33Speaker 4: go like you said.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean small.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I was screaming during the game, like, du want is short?
- 2:38Speaker 1: But ye sure yeah if you under throw it, yeah sure, yeah, yeah.
- 2:42Speaker 4: So I don't think we'll see if my if I
- 2:46Speaker 4: changed my mind by you know, Saturday, Sunday, we'll see,
- 2:49Speaker 4: but uh, I'll do a last minute ticket if so. Anyway, yeah,
- 2:54Speaker 4: I'll focus my attention on Washington obviously local near here.
- 2:58Speaker 4: It's been painful toe and I'm glad they've lost he
- 3:01Speaker 4: in a row. I'm torn on the outcome. So my brain,
- 3:05Speaker 4: of course at this point it is like, look, we
- 3:07Speaker 4: need the best possible draft pick make next year better.
- 3:10Speaker 4: But I'm not gonna lie. My heart wants this. I
- 3:14Speaker 4: want to ruin their playoff chances, or at least heard it.
- 3:17Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm rooting browin. I'm overriding my brain.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Sorry.
- 3:23Speaker 4: And then I just wanted to share my favorite memory
- 3:25Speaker 4: and then ask you to share yours of the rivalry.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Mine is Clint Longley. Now I'm just kidding.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I I do love that.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Obviously I wasn't around, but it's when Tony gutted through
- 3:40Speaker 4: the broken back and then he won with a minute left.
- 3:43Speaker 4: But unfortunately, I think he was out for the rest
- 3:45Speaker 4: of the season and when we lost and we didn't
- 3:48Speaker 4: make the playoffs. But if I recall that right, but
- 3:51Speaker 4: I still that game was amazing. I love Tony did
- 3:54Speaker 4: that a few times in his career. Obviously with the
- 3:56Speaker 4: puncture lung too. But and then just lastly, I want
- 4:00Speaker 4: to do a shout out to Jeremy and Tyrone and DC.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Hang in there. Maybe we'll pull something special off. If not,
- 4:07Speaker 4: just cling to your fellow fans because it's gonna be rough.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Irene.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Get that block button, Irene.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Who are they playing this week? Who are the Cowboys
- 4:14Speaker 1: playing this week?
- 4:17Speaker 4: The Commanders?
- 4:18Speaker 1: Okay, I just the way the way you said it,
- 4:21Speaker 1: the local team here, like like, oh sorry, no, I
- 4:25Speaker 1: just it was like it's like I don't refer to
- 4:27Speaker 1: them as anything. I just as the local team, like
- 4:29Speaker 1: like the local beer here.
- 4:31Speaker 5: You know.
- 4:31Speaker 4: It's funny, all right, exactly, Well, I appreciate it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I understand that as well. There will be Cowboy fans
- 4:40Speaker 1: there though, there's no doubt about it. And and and
- 4:43Speaker 1: you know, it's it's always makes for an interesting game.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And that is why. And you ask me my favorite memory,
- 4:53Speaker 1: it's it's not just the the Washington robbery. It's my
- 4:57Speaker 1: favorite game.
- 4:58Speaker 5: You know.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It's because it's the first one I've said many times
- 5:00Speaker 1: my first game ever went to it's working for the team,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, the first real game, ninety nine season opener,
- 5:08Speaker 1: Washington and the Cowboys there on the road and down
- 5:12Speaker 1: twenty one points in the fourth quarter, and I was like, well,
- 5:14Speaker 1: this is how this is gonna go. And I remember
- 5:16Speaker 1: walking down, I went down. I was like, well, I'm
- 5:18Speaker 1: gonna go down the field and see what this is like.
- 5:21Speaker 1: And Emmett scored and then two touchdowns to Irvin and
- 5:24Speaker 1: then in overtime it got overtime and deep past the
- 5:27Speaker 1: rocket ismile and who had dropped the same pass earlier
- 5:30Speaker 1: in the game, and scores a touchdown to win the game.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And it was amazing. I mean, it was absolutely an
- 5:35Speaker 1: amazing game. And so that one is always my favorite.
- 5:38Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be hard to top any game. Like,
- 5:42Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what what team, but that one is
- 5:44Speaker 1: kind of always been my favorite there. But there's so
- 5:47Speaker 1: many great memories too, you know. And I remember the
- 5:50Speaker 1: eighty nine game and watching it. I watched every game
- 5:53Speaker 1: with my dad, every single game we watched it. And
- 5:57Speaker 1: to win that first game, you know, of the season,
- 5:59Speaker 1: I mean, it was was amazing. So you know, there's
- 6:04Speaker 1: always some some really cool moments here and and we'll
- 6:06Speaker 1: see if we'll see if this one is gonna be
- 6:08Speaker 1: another one. All right, let's go to Carolina. He's in
- 6:11Speaker 1: the United States. I don't know where.
- 6:15Speaker 6: California. Yeah, yes, yesterday I was in Texas. Now in California.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You're you're like, you know, you're rolling.
- 6:24Speaker 7: Man.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It's like that old country song by Alabama, roll on Highway,
- 6:27Speaker 1: roll on Along. I love it, man, Man, how you doing?
- 6:31Speaker 5: Man?
- 6:32Speaker 6: So I'm actually I'm all right, man, I just shoo
- 6:36Speaker 6: it off, you know, just another one the other day.
- 6:39Speaker 6: But I got I got a couple of questions for you, Okay,
- 6:42Speaker 6: I need a I need a story and a good
- 6:43Speaker 6: story about Jason Witton.
- 6:45Speaker 8: I know you got one, man.
- 6:47Speaker 6: And man, I heard a lot of things, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 6: I watched all the podcasts, a lot of agreements on
- 6:55Speaker 6: the juice by things. When we talked about yesterday, when
- 6:57Speaker 6: I heard them speaking of the I'm like, wow, they
- 6:59Speaker 6: think the same thing I thing. But anyways, I want
- 7:02Speaker 6: to know, how do you feel about because I was
- 7:05Speaker 6: watching media manage, how do you feel about if if
- 7:08Speaker 6: we can afford to market Lawrence, do we keep him
- 7:11Speaker 6: as here? I think we keep them. I don't think
- 7:14Speaker 6: he's all the way out yet.
- 7:16Speaker 7: What what what is your thoughts on that?
- 7:18Speaker 6: And go Cowboys. I'll let you go on with that.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I thank you for the call, Carolina, Jason Whitten stories,
- 7:26Speaker 1: oh Man, a lot of them. But let's go to
- 7:31Speaker 1: the d law question here. I think they can you know, yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: you can. You can keep him, but you're gonna have to,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you know, have to get creative a little bit with
- 7:43Speaker 1: the contract. I I don't know. I'm feeling he may
- 7:48Speaker 1: not be here next year. This might be one of
- 7:52Speaker 1: those situations he can still play. He can play in
- 7:55Speaker 1: the right situation. This is just me talking and I
- 7:59Speaker 1: never actually talk to him about it. I just it
- 8:02Speaker 1: seems like it would be a good spot to maybe
- 8:05Speaker 1: chase the ring for him. Next year is going to
- 8:09Speaker 1: be a challenge for the Cowboys as well. Now we've
- 8:12Speaker 1: seen some one year turnarounds, and we've seen it happen before.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know if this is
- 8:18Speaker 1: the same situation is twenty fifteen, but you know, remember
- 8:21Speaker 1: that twenty fourteen team, the one that deads caught it game.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It was a really good, good team. Next year, a
- 8:25Speaker 1: lot of injuries, including at quarterback. Then they get high
- 8:29Speaker 1: draft pick, comeback, catch lightning in a bottle there in
- 8:32Speaker 1: sixteen with Dak and Zeke, and now they're back in
- 8:35Speaker 1: it again, have a chance. So we've seen this thing
- 8:37Speaker 1: kind of go up and down, and it could happen
- 8:39Speaker 1: again next year with the right situation. But it wouldn't
- 8:42Speaker 1: surprise me if Tank goes to another team and goes
- 8:45Speaker 1: to one where you know the scheme is perfect for
- 8:47Speaker 1: him and you know he can play just enough and
- 8:52Speaker 1: contribute on a team that has a chance to compete.
- 8:54Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if that happens. I hope that doesn't,
- 8:56Speaker 1: but you know it's going to be tough to keep him. Man.
- 9:03Speaker 1: It's there's so many Jason Witten stories I can't even
- 9:05Speaker 1: I can't even think of one, but I love the
- 9:08Speaker 1: one that Garrett always told about the wham you know,
- 9:12Speaker 1: wham the nose with Witten, you know, because they didn't think,
- 9:16Speaker 1: you know, he didn't want him to block the nose
- 9:19Speaker 1: tackle here, so he had another tide end do it
- 9:22Speaker 1: here for practice, and he was just like, you don't
- 9:24Speaker 1: think I can do it. He's like, yeah, Jason, I
- 9:25Speaker 1: think you can do it. You know, you're four time
- 9:27Speaker 1: All Pro at the time or whatever. It's like, we don't,
- 9:30Speaker 1: we don't need you to do this right now. We
- 9:32Speaker 1: need you to, you know, do you know, go, you know,
- 9:36Speaker 1: catch the ball here in the in the middle of practice.
- 9:39Speaker 1: But he was just that that way. He was just
- 9:41Speaker 1: so tough and rugged and you know, just like when
- 9:44Speaker 1: he had the punctured lung or spleen actually uh in
- 9:49Speaker 1: twenty twelve or whatever. I mean, there's like thirty seven
- 9:52Speaker 1: doctors that said like, no, no, you need to be
- 9:55Speaker 1: out now that but he was like, no, I'm going
- 9:57Speaker 1: to find a doctor. He found one in New York
- 9:59Speaker 1: that said, yeah, yeah, you could play. So he played.
- 10:01Speaker 1: He shouldn't have played. He probably caught one pass for
- 10:04Speaker 1: four yards and he couldn't get the hands over his head,
- 10:07Speaker 1: but he played. He continued that streak and that's just
- 10:09Speaker 1: what he was and who he was, and so you know,
- 10:13Speaker 1: and and another for his rookie year when he had
- 10:17Speaker 1: the broken jaw.
- 10:18Speaker 9: Uh.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You know, Parcels told him, you know, if you don't,
- 10:21Speaker 1: if you lose all this weight, you can't eat. So
- 10:23Speaker 1: you lose weight, you can't play. So he's stuffed a
- 10:25Speaker 1: little five pound weights in his in his sweatpants to
- 10:28Speaker 1: get on there and weigh and got just enough so
- 10:31Speaker 1: he could play that game. And that's what started the
- 10:33Speaker 1: streak for those consecutive games. So he was a warrior.
- 10:38Speaker 1: We'll see him in Canton sooner than later. I would
- 10:40Speaker 1: imagine Randy and Texarkana's next.
- 10:43Speaker 10: What's going on? Brother?
- 10:44Speaker 1: What's up man? How are you?
- 10:45Speaker 10: I'm all right. You know, these days, not much to
- 10:49Speaker 10: smile about. The team's not doing that. Great, coaches aren't
- 10:53Speaker 10: doing great, players are injured. We got no food, we
- 10:57Speaker 10: got no job. Our pitts had to falling off.
- 11:02Speaker 8: But with all that.

- 14:38Speaker 12: the Lions the game in the fact of the game.
- 14:40Speaker 12: So but when you when you think about it, what
- 14:43Speaker 12: would have been a what would have been a good
- 14:46Speaker 12: pick this year. As I was going down but you
- 14:48Speaker 12: know what, I have a great time.
- 14:50Speaker 7: I really do.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Well. It sounds like you've got a great perspective on
- 14:53Speaker 1: things and and and you know it's like you for you.
- 14:57Speaker 1: It was taking the family into the games, right, I
- 15:00Speaker 1: mean that that's that's the trip, getting to go down
- 15:02Speaker 1: there and seeing Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 12: I went with a bunch of friends. I mean, you know,
- 15:06Speaker 12: we were at the Star. It's just it's always it's
- 15:09Speaker 12: always a great time.
- 15:09Speaker 7: You know, when they win, it's uh.
- 15:11Speaker 12: It's even better.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 9: But it's funny.
- 15:14Speaker 12: Somebody was saw with somebody before the game and they
- 15:17Speaker 12: just said something like, yeah, bad you know, bad times.
- 15:21Speaker 12: Right now it seems like the sky is falling and
- 15:24Speaker 12: you get to the stadium and literally yeah, I mean
- 15:28Speaker 12: it's just yeah, it's just one of those things.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It's this season is I mean, yeah, no one wants
- 15:34Speaker 1: to read a book on this one. But you know,
- 15:36Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe it thirty years from now. You like
- 15:38Speaker 1: this all happened in one year, like.
- 15:40Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Came out of the locker room, was yelling yeah yeah
- 15:45Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- 15:48Speaker 12: And this is just my opinion because I had said
- 15:50Speaker 12: it after the Atlanta game. If they lose at Washington,
- 15:53Speaker 12: I just I don't see any reason why. And I
- 15:56Speaker 12: know it's a short week that that tray Lance doesn't
- 16:00Speaker 12: I know, you know, you gotta you gave up a
- 16:03Speaker 12: number four for him. I know most people don't think
- 16:06Speaker 12: he's going to amount so much, but can we at
- 16:08Speaker 12: least see him play? And I don't mean, you know,
- 16:11Speaker 12: mop up. You know, at the end of the game,
- 16:13Speaker 12: just start a game. I don't see at this point
- 16:16Speaker 12: what you have to lose. I know you you know
- 16:19Speaker 12: you were a history guy like me. We started buying
- 16:22Speaker 12: leaf on Thanksgiving. Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson. If I left
- 16:26Speaker 12: any outlet, ye let you know.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I mean so, I think Leif and Hutchinson were starting
- 16:32Speaker 1: a little bit before that, but Henson was not. Henson
- 16:34Speaker 1: was a starter. Uh, that was his first start. Now
- 16:37Speaker 1: he didn't finish the game. Can't finish the game. But
- 16:40Speaker 1: but you know, and I have a.
- 16:43Speaker 12: No but you know, I meant actually starting a Thanksgiving
- 16:45Speaker 12: Day game for us.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I don't know, I know what you're talking about. And
- 16:48Speaker 1: I'm saying Hutchinson and Leif this was not their first start,
- 16:51Speaker 1: but Henson was the first time Parcels put him in.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Now he only played a half. See do you do
- 16:57Speaker 1: you remember who he threw a touchdown to? Probably not?
- 17:01Speaker 12: You know what, because I'm so sad that I was
- 17:03Speaker 12: it Lusaka Polite.
- 17:05Speaker 1: No he didn't.
- 17:06Speaker 12: I'm totally throwing that name out.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Pretty good guess because but he didn't throw a touchdown
- 17:11Speaker 1: past to the Cowboys. He threw one to R W. Mccorters.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He plays for the bands that gut him. Told me
- 17:17Speaker 1: Testa Verdi came in threw a touchdown, I believe to
- 17:20Speaker 1: Darien Barnes, a fullback the same size as Usaka Polite.
- 17:25Speaker 1: So it's pretty good.
- 17:26Speaker 12: Pretty good, exactly right right, And you know I always
- 17:30Speaker 12: got to hit you with a trivia on the way out.
- 17:33Speaker 1: All right?
- 17:34Speaker 12: What number eighty eight for the Cowboys has seven career
- 17:38Speaker 12: touchdowns with the team?
- 17:40Speaker 1: Seven? Seven.
- 17:42Speaker 12: I know that's it's a random number, but that's that's
- 17:44Speaker 12: what he has.
- 17:46Speaker 1: He Antonio Bryant.
- 17:50Speaker 12: No, No, Jackie Harris, Jackie Harris. He kind of gets
- 17:52Speaker 12: forgotten as an.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Eighty eight right now because and I have a picture
- 17:57Speaker 1: in my phone of Atlanta. Walking to this stadium in Atlanta,
- 18:01Speaker 1: I took a picture of a guy like a creep
- 18:04Speaker 1: walking in. There's a guy in front of me with
- 18:05Speaker 1: an eighty eight Jersey Harris.
- 18:07Speaker 7: I was like, it was Jackie.
- 18:09Speaker 1: I was like, this might be a family member, but
- 18:12Speaker 1: probably not because because probably wasn't it. But but yeah,
- 18:15Speaker 1: eighty eight Harris. And I was like, wow, like, not
- 18:18Speaker 1: not what I expect to see walking in. I took
- 18:21Speaker 1: a picture of it. I was I was like, no
- 18:23Speaker 1: one's gonna believe this, So yeah, it's pretty funny. Yeah,
- 18:26Speaker 1: jack all right, I have a great week.
- 18:27Speaker 12: Man.
- 18:28Speaker 1: He caught seven touchdowns with the Cowboys.
- 18:32Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure I always looked this stuff up prior,
- 18:35Speaker 12: but I'm pretty sure he did.
- 18:36Speaker 2: I couldn't remember one or two and that was the
- 18:39Speaker 2: five and eleven.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I just didn't thk he was getting seven.
- 18:42Speaker 1: All right, sounds good man, Take care man. Thanks all right,
- 18:45Speaker 1: Let's get one more call before we go to break.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Robbie Coco beat Florida. I know Robbie's going to be
- 18:49Speaker 1: in a good mood. Robbie. What's up?
- 18:50Speaker 8: What's up?
- 18:51Speaker 1: Nick?
- 18:51Speaker 2: How's your day going?
- 18:52Speaker 1: It's going? Good man? How are you?
- 18:54Speaker 2: I took the I'm great man. I took the kids
- 18:56Speaker 2: to the beast this morning. All let's getting a little
- 18:58Speaker 2: chilli here, but we're still in the number seventies.
- 19:01Speaker 6: Cool, but that's cold for russ Man.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Joe Joe D. Kamelis. I thought of this this morning.
- 19:05Speaker 11: Jo D.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Kammellis my favorite coach of all times. He's coaching at
- 19:08Speaker 1: South Carolina right now. He had a place in Jacksonville.
- 19:12Speaker 1: He used to call it beach TV. He said, we
- 19:14Speaker 1: we just go out there. We don't need a TV.
- 19:16Speaker 1: We just go out there and look at the beach
- 19:18Speaker 1: for like four hours. That's all. That's all he does. Yeah,
- 19:20Speaker 1: beach Steve but.
- 19:21Speaker 2: On, Yeah, that's about an hour north of me is Jacksonville?
- 19:23Speaker 1: All right, what's up?
- 19:25Speaker 2: Rob? So listen man, I know that I'm gonna get
- 19:27Speaker 2: called the homer or the perpetual optimist or whatever. But
- 19:31Speaker 2: I think playing against dan Quinn and especially Cooper Rush
- 19:34Speaker 2: if he does still start. I don't know. I've heard
- 19:36Speaker 2: different rumors, but I think Cooper Rush for Roun Scout
- 19:40Speaker 2: team against.
- 19:42Speaker 7: Uh dan Quinn.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Yeah, dan Quinn, thanks, I think we got a good
- 19:46Speaker 2: shot to win. I mean we got we've got to
- 19:49Speaker 2: give some time.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Right, Okay, that's this side. Now let me go let
- 19:54Speaker 1: me take you to this side, dan Quinn. Dan Quinn
- 19:57Speaker 1: knows he's seen Mike McCarthy collin places like he's seen that.
- 20:03Speaker 1: He knows that. I'm not. I'm not. I'm just saying, Hey,
- 20:07Speaker 1: what whatever goes up comes down. There's there's a right,
- 20:10Speaker 1: there's a left. You there's something to be said for that.
- 20:14Speaker 1: You know the thing is. But but what worries me
- 20:18Speaker 1: about it is, you know, you're right, both sides kind
- 20:21Speaker 1: of know each other. What worries me is, look what
- 20:24Speaker 1: happened in those games last year, dan Quinn. They're getting sacks.
- 20:28Speaker 1: These guys are getting sacks. But the teams that beat
- 20:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys did what very well in those games. They
- 20:36Speaker 1: ran the ball, and the Cowboys they can't run the ball.
- 20:41Speaker 1: So that I know, that's what hurts those type of defenses.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I couldn't believe Fwler has eight and a half sacks,
- 20:49Speaker 1: and I knew they were playing well, I didn't know
- 20:50Speaker 1: he was fourth in the league in sacks with eight
- 20:52Speaker 1: and a half and a touchdown.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Intersection wid him Now, well, yeah, but you know, even
- 20:57Speaker 2: if you only had four sacks, I wish.
- 20:58Speaker 1: We'd him there. Yeah, yeah, he was not one. I
- 21:01Speaker 1: mean nobody can come back and say, wow, I did
- 21:04Speaker 1: to get rid of him. Nobody was saying that about Fowler.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Armstrong, but not for that price, you know.
- 21:10Speaker 2: So anyways, I'll tell you what though, Man, I'm of
- 21:13Speaker 2: two minds about the rest of the season. I mean,
- 21:16Speaker 2: I want to win. I want to win every game, yep.
- 21:19Speaker 2: But I also want to get a high draft pick.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But then I think about it that, you know, those
- 21:23Speaker 2: draft picks they're a crapshoot, you know, And how many
- 21:26Speaker 2: great players you get with you? How many Michael Parsons
- 21:28Speaker 2: are you getting them? How many more busts? Yeah, only
- 21:31Speaker 2: seventy percent or failures that everybody was light. He was
- 21:34Speaker 2: a first round pick and then he did nothing.
- 21:36Speaker 1: So you know, it's one of those things. It just
- 21:39Speaker 1: works itself out, you know. Yeah, you want to win
- 21:41Speaker 1: the games, you want a draft pick. People want to
- 21:43Speaker 1: lose weight, they want to eat cheeseburgers. I mean, sometimes
- 21:45Speaker 1: it just happen. I mean, you got to pick one.
- 21:47Speaker 1: You got to figure out a balance in between. Yeah,
- 21:50Speaker 1: it'll be, it'll be what it is. That's what I say.
- 21:52Speaker 2: All Right, brother, I'll let you guys go and we'll
- 21:54Speaker 2: talk to you sometime later, but I hope we.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Win, all right, Yeah, I think we can of course.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Hi brother, So yeah, let's go a
- 22:02Speaker 1: break real quick on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.

- 24:10Speaker 1: over the pond here across the Pond, Mike in Birmingham, England.
- 24:15Speaker 9: Hello, Nick, nice to speak to you as always, and
- 24:19Speaker 9: really good to listen to Randy again. You need to
- 24:23Speaker 9: do an hour long special with him. Please, a deep
- 24:26Speaker 9: blue documentary about Randy. He's so entertaining. I wanted to
- 24:31Speaker 9: ask you, Nick, because you get asked about your son
- 24:36Speaker 9: and his career, so I wanted to redress the balance
- 24:38Speaker 9: a little bit and ask how your daughter got on
- 24:42Speaker 9: last Friday. I think it was.
- 24:44Speaker 1: My daughter is on the drill team and they had
- 24:48Speaker 1: their last game ever of the season here at the Star.
- 24:53Speaker 1: They lost pretty bad, but it didn't ruin the night.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It was awesome to see her. I posted some pictures
- 25:00Speaker 1: on Facebook because she's been on the Texas Stadium Star
- 25:03Speaker 1: when she was two years old. You know, it took
- 25:05Speaker 1: a picture one time and here she is performing. You
- 25:09Speaker 1: think Randy gets emotional, Let me watch old dad out
- 25:13Speaker 1: there watching her at the Stars. Pretty awesome. It was
- 25:16Speaker 1: a great moment to wrap up her time there on
- 25:19Speaker 1: the drill team, and it was really really cool to
- 25:22Speaker 1: be right here at the Star. Had a lot of
- 25:24Speaker 1: family and friends there. It was special so that was cool.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Thank you for asking that.
- 25:29Speaker 9: Yeah. No, proud father and proud godfather of the storyline
- 25:33Speaker 9: family as well. So on that my sister Irene. I
- 25:37Speaker 9: can say this because I know that we don't tell
- 25:39Speaker 9: people how to fan, but I talked to Irene quite
- 25:42Speaker 9: a bit on Twitter, so I can hopefully get away
- 25:45Speaker 9: with this one. Go to the game, Irene. This is
- 25:47Speaker 9: where this is where you earn your badge of honor,
- 25:50Speaker 9: and this is what makes the great times even greater.
- 25:53Speaker 9: So go there, wear your Cowboys gear, be loud and proud,
- 25:56Speaker 9: go for me because I can't. That's what I would
- 25:59Speaker 9: encourage a couple of things. So, I mean, I remember
- 26:05Speaker 9: calling after the Detroit game very very grumpy, and since
- 26:08Speaker 9: then it's all about looking for positives now for me.
- 26:11Speaker 9: And you know, some of your callers are great, bringing
- 26:14Speaker 9: the sunshine and all of that. So I want to
- 26:18Speaker 9: give a bit of praise to Micah and CD because
- 26:22Speaker 9: when you're elite as they are, and they had they've
- 26:26Speaker 9: both had comments about their attitude at times or aspects
- 26:30Speaker 9: of their personalities. I was watching that game, the Houston game,
- 26:36Speaker 9: and they're both showing up time after time, play after play.
- 26:42Speaker 9: They're both going for it. They're both giving their role.
- 26:45Speaker 9: It's not working some of the time. Some of what
- 26:48Speaker 9: they're doing is great. CD You'll have a couple of
- 26:50Speaker 9: great moments and then you won't see him again for
- 26:52Speaker 9: twenty minutes. But he's still there. He was injured in
- 26:55Speaker 9: the silly game, but still wanting to be out there.
- 26:57Speaker 9: So I think they just deserve quite a bit of
- 27:00Speaker 9: for credit for that. They're clearly not downing tools in
- 27:03Speaker 9: the way that we've saw, For example, the Washington team
- 27:06Speaker 9: last year when we played them, they were on the beach,
- 27:09Speaker 9: they were out of there. So fair play to those guys.
- 27:14Speaker 9: And just a thought, Nick, and I wonder what your
- 27:16Speaker 9: thoughts are about this. There's quite a bit of talk
- 27:19Speaker 9: now where we are in the season and how it's gone.
- 27:23Speaker 9: There's quite a bit of Trey Lance talk that's picked
- 27:25Speaker 9: up again having gone quiet at the start of the season.
- 27:29Speaker 9: And you know, we should be seeing Trey Lance and
- 27:32Speaker 9: all of that. What I think and I'll leave you
- 27:36Speaker 9: with that and hear your thoughts. Cooper Rush obviously had
- 27:41Speaker 9: a shocking game against Philly. He's better than that, and
- 27:44Speaker 9: he did better against Houston. He's not that he's not
- 27:47Speaker 9: a number one quarterback, but he's a decent number two
- 27:50Speaker 9: quarterback and they're both out of contract. My plan would
- 27:56Speaker 9: be to re sign Cooper and draft maybe fifth or
- 28:02Speaker 9: sixth rounds hope that if they're needed to be called upon,
- 28:06Speaker 9: they turn out to be Brock Purdy or they turn
- 28:08Speaker 9: out to be Dak Prescott or Tony Romo and it's not.
- 28:12Speaker 9: Then you know, it's not a great risk and it's
- 28:15Speaker 9: not expensive. And I just feel that with Trey Lance,
- 28:20Speaker 9: what is there to lose by playing but what is
- 28:22Speaker 9: there to gain by playing him? He's almost certainly not
- 28:25Speaker 9: going to be here next year. We've seen what he is.
- 28:28Speaker 9: They're seeing him on the practice field and it's not
- 28:32Speaker 9: prompting them to throw him in. So are we just
- 28:35Speaker 9: developing him for someone else if we get him on
- 28:39Speaker 9: the pitch?
- 28:40Speaker 1: That's my thought.
- 28:41Speaker 9: But very interested to thank hear what you think.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. I love that on the pitch.
- 28:48Speaker 1: You know, that's another interesting perspective there, you know, I mean,
- 28:52Speaker 1: because it makes a lot of sense if you had
- 28:55Speaker 1: him for a couple more years. Yeah, I mean, that
- 28:58Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to play him. But the
- 29:00Speaker 1: fact that you don't create even more complications here, who
- 29:04Speaker 1: are you who are you developing him for? And you
- 29:09Speaker 1: want to see him. Well, there's a lot of people
- 29:12Speaker 1: out there that are like, we need to get a
- 29:13Speaker 1: number two quarterback and maybe in free agency, and man,
- 29:17Speaker 1: I hope the Cowboys play tray Lance so we can
- 29:19Speaker 1: kind of see that a little bit. So there's probably
- 29:22Speaker 1: a lot of teams that are hoping hoping for that.
- 29:24Speaker 1: So myke very astute points there that that you're making
- 29:29Speaker 1: and understanding the situation. And that's how itanks this thing
- 29:32Speaker 1: so complicated. Remember before the Cowboys signed Dac, they were
- 29:36Speaker 1: going into the season like that. They flew to Cleveland
- 29:39Speaker 1: with three quarterbacks, none of them under contract next year.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Now Dak signed that that day or you know, the
- 29:46Speaker 1: next day, but you know, they still have two two
- 29:49Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks now the only two quarterbacks on this team.
- 29:53Speaker 1: And now you you know, I'm sure Will Greer is
- 29:55Speaker 1: on under contract next year either he's on the practice squad.
- 29:58Speaker 1: So once again, all your quarterbacks are not under contract. Uh,
- 30:01Speaker 1: makes it for an interesting situation. Like you were talking
- 30:05Speaker 1: about the other people, you said, Irene go to the games.
- 30:08Speaker 1: You can't tell people how to fan. You certainly can't
- 30:10Speaker 1: tell people how to spend their money and you know,
- 30:14Speaker 1: who knows what this is that time of year, it's
- 30:17Speaker 1: it's it's tough to do that. You got to make
- 30:18Speaker 1: smart choices, as my four year old says, are you're
- 30:22Speaker 1: making smart choices. And sometimes depending on you know, the
- 30:26Speaker 1: prices and things like that, it may not be the
- 30:27Speaker 1: best time to go to a game and watch the
- 30:31Speaker 1: you know, the performance that you see out there. But
- 30:34Speaker 1: if it's possibility, sure people can go. But it doesn't
- 30:38Speaker 1: always work that way. Let's go to Chris in Connecticut. Chris,
- 30:40Speaker 1: what's up? Man?
- 30:42Speaker 11: Hey?
- 30:42Speaker 10: How you doing that?
- 30:43Speaker 1: Good? How are you?
- 30:44Speaker 10: I am?
- 30:45Speaker 5: I'm doing great. I can't believe I got through.
- 30:49Speaker 1: This is not first time, right, you've called through before?
- 30:51Speaker 5: No, I've called I've called before, but it's been quite
- 30:54Speaker 5: some time.
- 30:54Speaker 1: All right, Well, glad to have you back, man.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Yeah, well you're the best.
- 30:58Speaker 15: So Christ, we all appreciate it.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Am. I allowed to give you a little bit of
- 31:02Speaker 5: a rant without I don't want to get you in trouble.
- 31:04Speaker 5: I'm not expecting you to reply. Respond. Chris, you know
- 31:10Speaker 5: I've been a fan literally for fifty seven years, nineteen
- 31:13Speaker 5: sixty seven. I can name you the starting offensive line
- 31:16Speaker 5: from that team, and I am I'm just wondering. I
- 31:20Speaker 5: am at the point right now that I really I mean,
- 31:22Speaker 5: obviously I do care because I wouldn't be calling in,
- 31:25Speaker 5: but I just I'm just at the point like I
- 31:28Speaker 5: just can't take it anymore.
- 31:31Speaker 15: You know, my point is going to be that. And
- 31:33Speaker 15: then I wanted to make it ask you a question
- 31:35Speaker 15: after this, But you know, I thought, I've been thinking
- 31:39Speaker 15: this for a very long time. Jerry is the ultimate
- 31:43Speaker 15: God bless me, is the ultimate ultimate marketing genius that
- 31:47Speaker 15: maybe that we've ever witnessed.
- 31:50Speaker 5: And I've thought that, you know, I've thought this, But
- 31:54Speaker 5: it became very clear to me when he was interviewed
- 31:57Speaker 5: after that controversial interview, you know, the radio altercation where
- 32:03Speaker 5: he's like, I'll find someone else to talk to. And
- 32:06Speaker 5: it was about like maybe four or five days later
- 32:08Speaker 5: they were interviewed me. He said, you know, I was
- 32:10Speaker 5: very very pleased that people are talking about this, and
- 32:15Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, that really that really crystallizes things for me.
- 32:20Speaker 5: And along those lines, you know, we're all sitting here
- 32:24Speaker 5: scratching our heads. Why does he wait? Why did they
- 32:26Speaker 5: wait wait till the last second when the season's starting
- 32:30Speaker 5: to sign a cd lamb or to sign a Dak Prescott.
- 32:34Speaker 5: They literally gained nothing by waiting that long other than
- 32:39Speaker 5: other than media attention, in my opinion, And I'm not
- 32:42Speaker 5: expecting you to agree with me or disagree with me,
- 32:45Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, for him to
- 32:47Speaker 5: sit there and say, well, we don't have the money, well,
- 32:49Speaker 5: they would have had the money if they had signed
- 32:52Speaker 5: them both of those players earlier. To get it, Derek
- 32:54Speaker 5: Henry or whatever. It's just it's nonsense. But that's my
- 32:58Speaker 5: main frustration is that you know, I know he wants
- 33:01Speaker 5: to win. We've had good we've had good players along,
- 33:04Speaker 5: We've done a great job of drafting, but we're always
- 33:07Speaker 5: a non event whatsoever in the free agency market. And
- 33:12Speaker 5: you can't build a team that way. You just it
- 33:14Speaker 5: just doesn't work. By the time half your players developed,
- 33:16Speaker 5: they're gone. So that's my rant. I'm just enough. I
- 33:21Speaker 5: don't know what to do with myself.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Well, but.
- 33:26Speaker 5: I do have a quick question for you, is is
- 33:30Speaker 5: Trey Lance that bad that you can't even think to
- 33:35Speaker 5: have a couple of little packages here and there to
- 33:37Speaker 5: bring him in, Like, for example, when they went for
- 33:39Speaker 5: it on fourth down from the two yard line, Why
- 33:42Speaker 5: in the world. Would you not take a chance on
- 33:44Speaker 5: bringing him in with the threat of the run, Yeah,
- 33:47Speaker 5: he probably knowing him, he would have had a walk
- 33:49Speaker 5: in touchdown.
- 33:49Speaker 15: I bet.
- 33:51Speaker 8: He would have found a way.
- 33:52Speaker 5: They'd at least have three spect.
- 33:53Speaker 15: I just don't understand the thinking.
- 33:55Speaker 5: The lack of creativity blows my mind.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that I agree with that. Thanks for the call, Chris.
- 34:01Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and I understand the frustration. You know
- 34:05Speaker 1: you've you've If you can name the starting offensive line
- 34:08Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixty seven team, then you know you've
- 34:11Speaker 1: been around long time. And when you say you can't
- 34:14Speaker 1: take it anymore, you can because it's it hasn't ever.
- 34:17Speaker 1: You know, it's been worse than this. As bad as
- 34:19Speaker 1: it feels, it's been worse than this. And that's that's
- 34:22Speaker 1: part of it. And I'm not justifying it and saying
- 34:25Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying you're diehard. Your diehard, and
- 34:28Speaker 1: it hurts. What you're saying is you can't take it anymore.
- 34:30Speaker 1: You're not. It's not going to ruin your day. That's
- 34:32Speaker 1: probably where it is. You're not going to ruin your day.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Your expectations are very very low, but you're still gonna watch.
- 34:39Speaker 1: You're still gonna be there because that's who you are.
- 34:41Speaker 1: That's what everyone that calls the show. That's that's who
- 34:43Speaker 1: we are. That's that's it. Doesn't you know, we don't
- 34:46Speaker 1: get the opportunity to change. You know, you're not going
- 34:49Speaker 1: to switch teams and all that kind of stuff. Is
- 34:53Speaker 1: he that is Trey Lance that bad that he can't know?
- 34:55Speaker 1: He's not that bad. He can he can do a
- 34:57Speaker 1: package like that. He can do that. They should have
- 35:00Speaker 1: done that. I agree, especially when you call the play
- 35:04Speaker 1: that you I'd rather call the play for him because
- 35:07Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is not gonna roll right and do something
- 35:11Speaker 1: out of that. He's not gonna cut it out. He's
- 35:12Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson, so he's not gonna cut it up
- 35:15Speaker 1: and make a run there. He's not Joe Montana where
- 35:18Speaker 1: he's gonna find Dwight Clark in the back of the end,
- 35:20Speaker 1: and that's not happening. So you just cut the field
- 35:23Speaker 1: in half and he's not gonna make a play, and
- 35:26Speaker 1: you know that I would have kicked a filgal. But regardless,
- 35:29Speaker 1: he should have some packages. He should do that. But
- 35:32Speaker 1: they don't think he's ready to go in there and
- 35:35Speaker 1: start in the game. I think we saw the preseason.
- 35:39Speaker 1: You're gonna have some issues there, but there's gonna be
- 35:43Speaker 1: a time here where they're gonna say, all right, let's
- 35:45Speaker 1: go for it. Let's take a break here. On Cowboys' storyline,
- 35:48Speaker 1: We've got one more break to go. We got a
- 35:49Speaker 1: couple more calls on the line. We will hit those
- 35:51Speaker 1: when we come back.

- 37:28Speaker 1: let's go to Leicester in Minnesota. Lester, what's up?
- 37:33Speaker 11: Hey?
- 37:33Speaker 9: Nick?
- 37:34Speaker 13: Hey?
- 37:34Speaker 8: First of all, I want to say hi to all
- 37:37Speaker 8: my all the Cowboys fans out there. Don't be just there.
- 37:40Speaker 8: We're gonna come back. The second thing I want to
- 37:44Speaker 8: say is what I always say until we get a
- 37:46Speaker 8: good to great good. It's very good offensive and defensive
- 37:50Speaker 8: line at the same time. This is what we're gonna
- 37:53Speaker 8: get twelve and five, twelve and five and then this season.
- 37:57Speaker 8: But anyway, I have a solution for the games coming up. Okay,
- 38:03Speaker 8: everyone's saying Trey Lance, and I agree with that too,
- 38:06Speaker 8: but let's put in uh jumbo package. Let Zeke be
- 38:11Speaker 8: the full back and down there, switch Dowdell and the
- 38:15Speaker 8: other little guy from the half back, and let's run
- 38:19Speaker 8: that ball. Jumbo package. Run it, run it, run it. Running.
- 38:24Speaker 8: Running is a commitment, of course, mixing some passes in there.
- 38:29Speaker 8: I mean, of course, you know, switch it up and
- 38:31Speaker 8: put the regular line up in there, but let's run
- 38:34Speaker 8: the ball, and let's put Trey Lance in there as
- 38:36Speaker 8: well a little bit. I mean, I'm not a coach side,
- 38:38Speaker 8: I can't say exactly how to mix it all up,
- 38:41Speaker 8: but let's try that.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Sounds like sounds that you want to run like the
- 38:46Speaker 1: triple option, wish throne there three backs.
- 38:53Speaker 8: No, no, just just Zeke at full back and then
- 38:57Speaker 8: alternate Dowdell and and uh.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Dude, how about let's go with that?
- 39:05Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 39:05Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean I don't know. Maybe it's
- 39:13Speaker 1: got you gotta try something, but I don't think that's
- 39:16Speaker 1: gonna happen because Miry McCarthy doesn't do that. That's not
- 39:19Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, that's not that's not what he does.
- 39:21Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna the're gonna switch it up
- 39:23Speaker 1: and run the ball at those defensive tackles that Washington has.
- 39:27Speaker 1: I mean, when when Zeke was doing his thing, when
- 39:30Speaker 1: the Cowboys were running, he was getting fourteen fifteen hundred yards,
- 39:32Speaker 1: I don't think they were running that well against Washington. Anyways,
- 39:36Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be to.
- 39:37Speaker 8: I mean, but this is a different defense. I mean,
- 39:42Speaker 8: it's still the same, but the philosophy is different.
- 39:45Speaker 1: It is.
- 39:45Speaker 8: I think you can run the ball on this guy
- 39:48Speaker 8: if you put in a jumbo pack, like a gold line,
- 39:51Speaker 8: not a goal line, but a jumbo package for the
- 39:54Speaker 8: little sixth offensive lineman and just pounded, pounded, pounded, found
- 40:00Speaker 8: it man. I mean, of course, like I said, switch
- 40:02Speaker 8: up the person down the social passes. I'm not playing
- 40:05Speaker 8: all games, but let's let's try that. Put Tray Lance
- 40:08Speaker 8: in there, run an option or something. I don't know,
- 40:11Speaker 8: but we can do that because I think we could
- 40:13Speaker 8: run the ball. But it's a commitment.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, again, I'm with you. It starts with that
- 40:21Speaker 1: offensive line, and you know that no one knows that
- 40:23Speaker 1: more than you. Uh, and those guys up there. I mean,
- 40:27Speaker 1: that's that's the problem too. It's they're not pushing people
- 40:30Speaker 1: off the ball. I think BB's done a nice job,
- 40:33Speaker 1: but I don't think that he's He's just you know,
- 40:36Speaker 1: a road grader back there. And Zach Martin, I don't
- 40:38Speaker 1: know if he's even gonna play. There's a good chance
- 40:40Speaker 1: it's gonna be like Hoffman and and Bass and and
- 40:44Speaker 1: maybe Tyler Smith.
- 40:46Speaker 8: I mean, no, I understand, but Howfin is a tough
- 40:49Speaker 8: guy anyway. Put him in there, right, Let's get some attitude.
- 40:53Speaker 8: If if the president can't play, put him in there.
- 40:56Speaker 8: He's an attitude guy all right alongside BB. I mean,
- 40:59Speaker 8: you know, you know BB's strong and Hoppin's attitude guy.
- 41:03Speaker 8: Let's go and then that that'll protect I left. I'm sorry,
- 41:07Speaker 8: all right, tackle he can he's a good run block.
- 41:10Speaker 8: Let's let's just do it.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Lester, maybe you got any you got any years left?
- 41:16Speaker 1: You want to come in here. I mean I think
- 41:17Speaker 1: you we got some attitude too. You can bring you
- 41:19Speaker 1: here for a couple of snaps. You can play on
- 41:22Speaker 1: the line.
- 41:23Speaker 8: Yeah, I play. I played in high school and I
- 41:26Speaker 8: played cornerback in high school.
- 41:27Speaker 1: No, no, I ain't gonna cut it when we getting
- 41:30Speaker 1: laying back.
- 41:30Speaker 8: We don't need that.
- 41:31Speaker 1: We need the offensive line attitude. Like you said, all right, Lester,
- 41:35Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Good stuff.
- 41:36Speaker 12: Man.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Always thinking, I don't know about the zeke at fullback,
- 41:41Speaker 1: but you know, I could see a scenario of run,
- 41:45Speaker 1: of trying to run, trying to run. I mean, you
- 41:47Speaker 1: can't get to the point where you're trying to slow
- 41:49Speaker 1: the game down. And that's that's where it's It's that's
- 41:53Speaker 1: where this is good. This is tough for McCarthy, I
- 41:56Speaker 1: think because when you get in games like this when
- 41:58Speaker 1: you're definitely over. You've seen it before. I've seen Garrett's
- 42:03Speaker 1: teams do this. Uh, some of par Sales teams. You
- 42:06Speaker 1: slow the game down, you're running the ball, you're trying
- 42:09Speaker 1: to keep it close, trys to steal the game and
- 42:10Speaker 1: win it at the end. That goes against a lot
- 42:13Speaker 1: of the philosophy that the Cowboys have with throwing the
- 42:17Speaker 1: ball around and throwing it to your guys and all that.
- 42:19Speaker 1: So it's that's what kind of makes this thing kind
- 42:23Speaker 1: of difficult because you could see what they were trying
- 42:25Speaker 1: to do there with Houston. But at the end of
- 42:27Speaker 1: the day, you know, you they they do. They got
- 42:30Speaker 1: receivers that they are going to throw the ball. That's
- 42:32Speaker 1: probably where how they move the ball the best, because
- 42:35Speaker 1: there's not a team that could run it like this.
- 42:36Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey, probably
- 42:38Speaker 1: our last call. Ronnie in New Jersey? How good? How
- 42:42Speaker 1: are you?
- 42:43Speaker 7: That's so darn pretty good. Nick. I had a quick
- 42:46Speaker 7: question for you, because I'm listening to the shows and
- 42:49Speaker 7: it seems like a lot of people are down on
- 42:51Speaker 7: our left tackle, and I don't see I don't see
- 42:54Speaker 7: why because he was a project. Wasn't he like a
- 42:57Speaker 7: right tackle his whole career in And the whole point
- 43:02Speaker 7: was that he was gonna, you know, it was predictab
- 43:04Speaker 7: he was gonna take him a year or two to
- 43:05Speaker 7: be uh converted to a left tackle. So, I mean,
- 43:09Speaker 7: I hear Brian brother us, I hear everybody like saying
- 43:13Speaker 7: how they would draft a left tackle and move him
- 43:15Speaker 7: over to right tackle just because of the way he's
- 43:19Speaker 7: been playing this year. But everybody, I felt like everybody
- 43:23Speaker 7: knew he was Uh, he was a project this year.
- 43:26Speaker 7: So is there something that you know or that you've
- 43:29Speaker 7: heard of, like it's uh like management or whatever. Are
- 43:33Speaker 7: they unsatisfied with his play?
- 43:37Speaker 1: I don't know about unsatisfied. I mean, I don't think
- 43:39Speaker 1: it's been as good as they as they thought. Yes,
- 43:41Speaker 1: project is right, But if you take a guy in
- 43:45Speaker 1: the first round, you're also saying that that that he's
- 43:49Speaker 1: gonna be good enough to deal with with the growing
- 43:52Speaker 1: pains and there's gonna be some good moments, some some
- 43:54Speaker 1: bad moments. But but you're gonna you're gonna have you know,
- 43:57Speaker 1: you're gonna have some some times where he's he's gonna
- 43:59Speaker 1: play really well and and he has, he's had some
- 44:02Speaker 1: of those. Uh he's learning. He's just learning on the
- 44:05Speaker 1: run that that's what's happening and it and it's been
- 44:07Speaker 1: it's been a challenge for him, uh, in a lot
- 44:10Speaker 1: of ways. But I don't know. I mean, I think
- 44:12Speaker 1: if you have the ability to take best player available
- 44:15Speaker 1: and it is the left tackle, you know that could
- 44:18Speaker 1: be there for the future and he's not a project,
- 44:20Speaker 1: sure go for it. You know, it's you would have
- 44:24Speaker 1: to have a Tyran Smith sitting there to not take
- 44:27Speaker 1: those guys. Same with a pass rusher. You know, if
- 44:29Speaker 1: there's a stud pass rusher, you're gonna take it, regardless
- 44:32Speaker 1: if you have Mike or there or not. So those
- 44:34Speaker 1: are the positions that you take regardless, and then you
- 44:36Speaker 1: deal with what you have. And Tyler Goyiton could move
- 44:39Speaker 1: if if you needed to. All right, good stuff, Let's
- 44:41Speaker 1: get one more caller and let's go to Bruce and Houston.
- 44:45Speaker 11: Hey, hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call.
- 44:48Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 44:49Speaker 11: I know you're I'm doing good.
- 44:50Speaker 12: I know you're up against.
- 44:52Speaker 11: Chris at the quick.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:53Speaker 11: I think after the Giants game, I think they need
- 44:56Speaker 11: to tray play Trey Lance, you know, possibly get a
- 45:01Speaker 11: higher compensatory pick for him, or who says we can't
- 45:06Speaker 11: re sign him. We're gonna need a second string quarterback
- 45:09Speaker 11: going forward unless he's just out of price range. But
- 45:14Speaker 11: you said something the other day you would not trade
- 45:16Speaker 11: Micah Parsons, while I I wouldn't want to trade him either.
- 45:22Speaker 11: But if I told you, if you did trade him
- 45:26Speaker 11: and you could possibly get the next Troy Aikman, would
- 45:28Speaker 11: you do it?
- 45:29Speaker 1: Then?
- 45:29Speaker 13: Nick?
- 45:31Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if I'm getting the next you're telling
- 45:34Speaker 1: me I'm getting the next Troy Aikman, then yeah, I'll
- 45:37Speaker 1: take the next Raigman. If you're telling me that, I mean,
- 45:40Speaker 1: and that's.
- 45:41Speaker 11: It, And I know it's hypothetical. Look, because we're hoping
- 45:45Speaker 11: arch Manning comes out in two years. You know, you
- 45:48Speaker 11: could parlay two number ones and maybe have the capital
- 45:52Speaker 11: to move up to get a said player if he
- 45:55Speaker 11: comes out. We don't even know if he's coming out,
- 45:56Speaker 11: and blah blah blah. But but I'm just saying, you
- 45:59Speaker 11: could take Michael Arson. Even if you didn't get a quarterback.
- 46:02Speaker 11: You could rebuild this team with their top pick. Now,
- 46:05Speaker 11: you could get a left tackle, I say, moved gy
- 46:08Speaker 11: geyting over to right tackle because the deal has struggled.
- 46:11Speaker 8: Why couldn't you do that?
- 46:13Speaker 10: It'll be yeah, you know.
- 46:15Speaker 1: You could do that. And I think I think that
- 46:18Speaker 1: you're saying, Troy Aikman, if you get or you know
- 46:20Speaker 1: you're getting that type of guy. I think the fear
- 46:22Speaker 1: is that you're trading Lawrence Taylor. I think that that's
- 46:24Speaker 1: the fear is like, and I know, but but.
- 46:26Speaker 11: Nick, And the only reason I would say do it
- 46:28Speaker 11: is because I just don't see him sniffing the Super
- 46:32Speaker 11: Bowl in two to three probably even with Dak Prescott.
- 46:36Speaker 11: I just I just don't see it. But it maybe
- 46:39Speaker 11: it made a bit of dependent who we get is
- 46:41Speaker 11: the next head coach. You know, maybe you can talk
- 46:43Speaker 11: about that next next show. I know they're talking about Dion.
- 46:47Speaker 11: I can see Jerry doing that big time because it's marketing.
- 46:50Speaker 11: But Belichick would probably be a better coach. But he's
- 46:53Speaker 11: got to bring in the right offensive coordinator. I hear
- 46:55Speaker 11: he loves Dak Prescott, but we just got so many
- 46:59Speaker 11: holes to fill. That's the only reason I would trade Mike.
- 47:02Speaker 11: He's a great player. But man if I could get
- 47:04Speaker 11: if I could rebuild my team in one year, maybe
- 47:06Speaker 11: two drafts, yeah, almost have to in my opinion.
- 47:09Speaker 2: But Nick, good day, have a good day.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Thanks for the you know, for the call. You know,
- 47:16Speaker 1: two number one picks or something like that for a
- 47:19Speaker 1: guy that that sounds enticing. It just it's like, but
- 47:25Speaker 1: who are they and where are you picking? You know,
- 47:27Speaker 1: are are you trading him to a good team that
- 47:29Speaker 1: thinks that this is their missing piece, Because if that's
- 47:32Speaker 1: the case, then you have a really good chance to
- 47:35Speaker 1: pick Mazzie Smith and Tyler Geydon. Again, you're doing that?
- 47:40Speaker 1: Are you taking those two guys. Even that Tyler Smith,
- 47:42Speaker 1: who was you know in that same round hit now
- 47:45Speaker 1: he they hit on him Byron Jones, another guy you
- 47:47Speaker 1: took in twenty seven, twenty eight, you know, Taco Charlton.
- 47:52Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about about. Late twenties. First round
- 47:55Speaker 1: picks have not always in the top ten. And I
- 47:58Speaker 1: don't think Micah Parson is going to go to a
- 48:00Speaker 1: team and be in the top ten. I mean, I
- 48:03Speaker 1: don't think that that's probably going to happen. So I
- 48:06Speaker 1: don't know if you rebuild your team by just getting
- 48:09Speaker 1: a couple of extra picks, now you got to maybe
- 48:10Speaker 1: package them up with your pick and get up there.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I get that, but I just forgot that's getting ten
- 48:18Speaker 1: ten pressures in a game like that, or nine pressures
- 48:21Speaker 1: that he got against Houston, you know, playing the way
- 48:24Speaker 1: he's playing. It's give him some more help. Give him
- 48:27Speaker 1: some more help on the other side, get some strong
- 48:28Speaker 1: corners like you have, fix this defense. I think I
- 48:33Speaker 1: think that they'll be just fine. So all right, guys,
- 48:35Speaker 1: appreciate it. Good good calls today. Go back and watch
- 48:39Speaker 1: if you can. Randy, what a moment that was that.
- 48:41Speaker 1: I appreciate you speaking from the heart and talking about
- 48:44Speaker 1: this family like that family of storyliners. It's been awesome.
- 48:47Speaker 1: It's been better than I ever could imagined, and I
- 48:49Speaker 1: appreciate I love being a part of it. I know
- 48:52Speaker 1: Chris Beam does as well. So for Chris, I'm Nick Keepman.
- 48:54Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline.
- 48:57Speaker 3: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 49:00Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
