• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I have never known a ticket to be more scarce

  for a long run football game anywhere than this one.
• 1:30
  I've never known one to be more scarce for any
• 1:33
  game this one certainly not.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting to see how this

  Speaker 1: It'll end at eleven, and then Bevo Boulevard fires up
• 2:26
  so folks can just you know, mosey on down the
• 2:30
  hill and around the bend and.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: All that sort of stuff.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And they they want to still party.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know, it got all day to get to get
• 2:39
  ready for that matchup. I wanted to get to a
• 2:42
  couple of NFL notes. One of those involves the team
• 2:50
  that that you like to cheer for or not.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, thank you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Let me just amend that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: See, you're a conflicted person, not conflicted at all.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Now you're conflicted. It's your favorite team. You're just mad
• 3:03
  at them right now, it's still your favorite NFL team,
• 3:06
  right right? Where have you bailed on the Cowboys and
• 3:11
  picked another team?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'll never pick another team.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, never pick another team?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, because if you did, I would just toss all
• 3:18
  this out and never bring it up again.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Probably. No, I can't do that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You got you gotta stick to you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: That's right. So, uh, but I think you kind of
• 3:27
  revel in.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, them wallowing in their mediocrity right now. You're kind
• 3:34
  of enjoying this since you're not watching it, And so
• 3:40
  I get that. I I understand how, you know, how
• 3:43
  a lot of that goes. Uh, But there was there
• 3:49
  was quite the uh, the hubbub about Jerry Jones and
• 3:55
  him getting all you know, bunged up and and and
• 3:59
  everything at his radio show hosts his weekly appearance on
• 4:07
  that and talking about whatever, get somebody else you can get.
• 4:11
  The people have kind of launched into him on that,
• 4:16
  but there was other things that came out. For example,
• 4:19
  that conversation happened on one O five three the Fan
• 4:26
  in Dallas Fort Worth. Also in Dallas Fort Worth is
• 4:30
  The Ticket, which is really the gold standard for sports
• 4:34
  talk radio there. They just won the Marconi Award for
• 4:37
  best Overall Radio station in the entire United States regardless
• 4:41
  of format, in addition to all their sports talk awards
• 4:45
  they've won. They have Troy Aikman on every week and
• 4:50
  on with the Musers, my friends George dunhaman Craig Miller
• 4:53
  who I went to college with, and they have Troy
• 4:56
  Aikman on every week.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: And Troy pulls no punches. He's not bashful, Nope.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So he was talking about there were a lot of
• 5:10
  problems with the Cowboys obviously, and folks have you know
• 5:17
  gone after Dak Prescott or the defense and all this.
• 5:21
  Troy doesn't say that that stuff isn't true, but he
• 5:27
  will also tell you, and did so on Wednesday, that
• 5:32
  the problem isn't just Dak.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: It's not just a defense even after the wide receivers.
• 5:38
  The quote was.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I think the routes are terrible. Talking about the routes
• 5:43
  they run. I think they run terrible routes, and I've
• 5:46
  fought that beyond this year. I think Ceedee Lamb has
• 5:49
  got to improve in his route running.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: As a quarterback, if.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You're not certain where guys are going to be consistently,
• 5:55
  it's hard to play the position. That's what I see.
• 5:57
  I see guys lazy coming off the line of scrimmage.
• 6:00
  Sometimes they run. Usually if they do, it's because they're
• 6:03
  anticipating and they're going to get the football on that play.
• 6:05
  But if they're not, they don't, and it all ties together.
• 6:09
  I'm not impressed with that part of it. I just
• 6:11
  finished watching the Baltimore Ravens because I have them this week.
• 6:15
  You put on film of Theirs and watch their receivers
• 6:18
  run routes and they come off the football so to
• 6:20
  San Francisco's and Green Bays and others. But it's hard
• 6:23
  to play the quarterback position if you're not certain how
• 6:26
  guys are going to run routes where they're going to be.
• 6:28
  And I'm not speaking for Dak. Dak may say, hey,
• 6:32
  I think their routes are amazing, But as a former
• 6:33
  quarterback watching it, it's got to get a lot better.
• 6:37
  So yeah, I mean's he's pulling no punches. As you
• 6:42
  mentioned the Cowboys zero and three at home, they've been
• 6:45
  outscored in home games one nineteen to fifty three. And
• 6:50
  if you include the playoff loss to the Packers back
• 6:52
  in January, they've allowed at least forty four points to
• 6:54
  three of our last.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Four home games.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I'm bizarre. See that's what I said about there such
• 7:01
  a bad.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know that's what I said. You were
• 7:05
  kind of reveling in their misery a little bit here.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a fire in the kitchen, but there's
• 7:09
  also a fire in the attic, in the upstairs bathroom,
• 7:12
  in the backyard. This fire is all over the place
• 7:16
  with this team right now. Yeah, And I mean to
• 7:19
  Aikman's point, it's a receiver group that's not great. I mean,
• 7:22
  you have CD Lamb, and I don't think his route
• 7:25
  running was ever considered a big strength of his. And
• 7:28
  then after him, you have Jaalen Tolbert, the former South
• 7:31
  Alabama receiver who stepped up this season. But I don't
• 7:35
  know how many other teams would he would he start
• 7:38
  for Probably not that many in the league. But after them, Craig,
• 7:41
  I mean, your third leading receiver is Jake Ferguson, and
• 7:44
  then it's Rico Dwell and Brandon Cooks has not been
• 7:47
  healthy and he's a much older receiver, so it's not
• 7:50
  a good receiver unit. Don't even get me started on
• 7:53
  the running backs. And then it's just I don't know
• 7:56
  if it's complete denial or stubbornness from Jerry when he's
• 7:59
  asked about up raiding the team and he's refusing to
• 8:02
  do so, when he's like, we don't need to, Like,
• 8:04
  what are you talking about? It's it's got to be
• 8:07
  one of the worst skill position what Tim rephrase is
• 8:11
  a little bit better. Yeah, there's not many teams that
• 8:14
  have worse skill position players than what the Dallas Cowboys
• 8:19
  we're putting out there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: You might say, hey, wait a second, they have Cede Lamb.
• 8:21
  He's one of he's now one of the highest paid
• 8:23
  receivers in the league. Yeah, it's him. But if you're
• 8:25
  an opposing defense posing team, you're defending the Cowboys, you're
• 8:30
  looking at this this team, go Okay, all we have
• 8:32
  to really worry about is just shutting down, ceede lamb
• 8:35
  and that's it. And if you know to what Aikman's saying,
• 8:37
  I have not watched the Cowboys live, so I can't
• 8:39
  tell you what their route running is like and if
• 8:41
  they're trying or not in every play. But it would
• 8:43
  not surprise me if that's if Aikman is just completely
• 8:46
  spot on because it is his job.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he knows it, knows it pretty well. Could
• 8:51
  be worse if you were a quarterback, you could be
• 8:53
  Jay Cutler, the former Bears quarterback arrested in Tennessee last
• 8:59
  night after a traffic crash and facing four charges. Charges
• 9:03
  were driving under the influence, possession of a handgun while
• 9:07
  under the influence, failure to exercise care, due care to
• 9:12
  avoid a collision, and implied consent. According to a release
• 9:17
  from the Franklin Police Department, which is outside of Nashville,
• 9:21
  officers responded to a minor traffic collision in downtown Franklin
• 9:24
  around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The investigation suggested that Cutler
• 9:28
  rear ended another vehicle. During their conversation with Cutler, officers
• 9:32
  noticed a strong odor of alcohol. He was also slurring
• 9:35
  his words, had bloodshot eyes, Cutler refused field sobriety tests
• 9:39
  taken to a local hospital where a blood sample was
• 9:42
  obtained through a blood search warrants. He also reported, according
• 9:48
  to a police search, had two firearms in his possession,
• 9:50
  including a loaded pistol. Nice booked in the Williamson County jail,
• 9:55
  not Williamson County, Texas, Williamson County, Tennessee before some o'clock.
• 10:00
  Five thousand dollars bond was released at ten o'clock. So yeah,
• 10:06
  re memories two thousand and six, first round draft pick
• 10:09
  of the Broncos traded to the Bears, became the franchises
• 10:13
  all time passing leader. Yet things going well, the whole
• 10:17
  hot wife thing, what was it?
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: What was it? At Christian Cavalary?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah really yeah yeah, and then that that thing cratered
• 10:26
  and then I played his last season with the Dolphins
• 10:29
  in twenty seventeen. Yeah, tough, tough go for Jay Cutler.
• 10:35
  All right, up, next, we'll have there's another NFL story
• 10:41
  speaking of former quarterbacks turned analyst. This has a little
• 10:47
  more intrigue and interest because it involves the question, let
• 10:53
  me just put it that way, the question of propriety.
• 10:56
  We'll also hear from log Worn's head coach Steve Sarkeesian
• 11:00
  talked about some of the key things going into this
• 11:03
  matchup with Georgia here on a Friday edition of The
• 11:06
  Craigway Show, Here on sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone,
