0:08
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
0:11
Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
0:17
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
0:23
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette. I
0:27
Speaker 1: am Nick Eatman, and let's talk some Cowboys offseason football.
0:30
Speaker 1: This is the official off season schedule now for the Cowboys.
0:36
Speaker 1: For this show, Cowboys Storyline. We do it every Wednesday,
0:39
Speaker 1: every morning, and every nine thirty Central Time on Wednesday mornings,
0:45
Speaker 1: so for about an hour. So let you guys talk,
0:48
Speaker 1: and you guys want to talk more than once a week,
0:50
Speaker 1: but that's that's what we got, so we'll try to
0:51
Speaker 1: make the most of it. We'll get to the phone
0:53
Speaker 1: lines eight eight eight eight FI five to two nine seven.
0:55
Speaker 1: Big news for the Cowboys, obviously no surprise. Matt Eberflus
0:59
Speaker 1: was release of his duties earlier this week. The Cowboys
1:04
Speaker 1: had the worst defense in the history of the franchise
1:06
Speaker 1: and worst pass defense in the league. Gave up thirty
1:09
Speaker 1: points a game. So writing's on the wall. They love
1:12
Speaker 1: Matt Everflus. I think he's a good coach, it didn't
1:15
Speaker 1: work out, and obviously you have to move on. This
1:17
Speaker 1: will be the fourth coordinator for the Cowboys in four years.
1:21
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our phone lines. Let's let
1:23
Speaker 1: you guys talk about it. Albert in Tucson, Arizona is first. Albert.
1:26
Speaker 3: What's up, yig my man? Good morning morning. How are
1:29
Speaker 3: you happy new year?
1:31
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty well. How about you?
1:33
Speaker 1: Good? Thank you?
1:34
Speaker 5: Awesome?
1:35
Speaker 4: Yeah? Short, sweet? All right, let's make it quick.
1:40
Speaker 3: Draft.
1:41
Speaker 4: We got the twelve pick and I believe the twenty
1:43
Speaker 4: somethings pick. What do you what are your thoughts on them?
1:48
Speaker 4: Taking a starting caliber corner with the twelve and a
1:53
Speaker 4: starting caliber safety with the twenty foards. That's all I got.
2:01
Speaker 4: Go Cowboys. God bless you guys. I hope to see
2:04
Speaker 4: you in training camp, and I didn't get to meet
2:08
Speaker 4: you this past year. I was there, but you just
2:12
Speaker 4: eluded me every time.
2:13
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Okay, all right, well thanks Albert. Interesting take
2:18
Speaker 1: cornerback safety? I think you know when you get to
2:23
Speaker 1: this point, and it's fun to talk draft because it's not,
2:28
Speaker 1: you know, ever too early. We have a draft show
2:30
Speaker 1: that we do twice a week now. But but you know,
2:34
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be done. I mean, they can
2:36
Speaker 1: talk prospects all they want. I mean, there's guys just
2:39
Speaker 1: entering the draft like this week, and we don't know
2:42
Speaker 1: the order just yet. You don't know exactly where the
2:44
Speaker 1: Cowboys are picking. And also you don't know what they've
2:47
Speaker 1: done in free agency. That's going to be the key.
2:51
Speaker 1: Typically with this team, free agency doesn't change what they
2:56
Speaker 1: do in the draft. If there's a great, you know, pick,
2:59
Speaker 1: there's a great option to draft the guy, you're going
3:02
Speaker 1: to do it. So I say all that to say,
3:04
Speaker 1: when you get to the draft and if cornerback is
3:07
Speaker 1: the best spot for you and you feel like there's
3:10
Speaker 1: a guy right there that that would be a perfect pick,
3:13
Speaker 1: then do it safety later on that that's fine too.
3:17
Speaker 1: If that happens, I would have imagined the Cowboys have
3:20
Speaker 1: addressed some of their pass rush needs, some of their
3:23
Speaker 1: linebacker needs, but defense, you really can't go wrong. If
3:27
Speaker 1: you've got two guys that fit the spot on the
3:32
Speaker 1: board and it's that flashing light that they say and
3:36
Speaker 1: you're supposed to take them, then take them, especially even
3:38
Speaker 1: if it's offense too. But but I can't imagine, you know,
3:42
Speaker 1: I mean We've done this before. You know, we've seen
3:44
Speaker 1: this that was supposed to be pass rusher or corner,
3:46
Speaker 1: pass rusher or corner, and then it was seed lamb
3:49
Speaker 1: And I don't think anyone's had a problem with that.
3:51
Speaker 1: So you know, you stick to the board the best
3:54
Speaker 1: you can. I just have a hard time thinking it's
3:56
Speaker 1: not going to say defense. All right, Casey Joe in
3:58
Speaker 1: Kansas City.
4:00
Speaker 6: Good morning, Nick, How are you doing today?
4:01
Speaker 1: I'm good.
4:02
Speaker 6: I'm doing good, sir, I'm doing good.
4:04
Speaker 7: Hey.
4:05
Speaker 6: I was thinking about the running back if we can't
4:07
Speaker 6: keep our current running back, because you know he's a
4:09
Speaker 6: free agent. I think that MafA is a stronger back,
4:14
Speaker 6: would be a stronger lead back because he has more
4:17
Speaker 6: power than Blue. The Blue would be a great, you know,
4:21
Speaker 6: compliment back as a runner because they both got touchdowns
4:24
Speaker 6: in there. But it just seems like Blue doesn't have
4:26
Speaker 6: the power. I don't know if he needs to do
4:28
Speaker 6: weights or something down at the line.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
4:32
Speaker 6: Hey, and hey, you know that commercial of the dude wipes?
4:35
Speaker 6: How can we have the Patriots guys on there? How
4:38
Speaker 6: come we don't have some cowboy players on there talking
4:40
Speaker 6: about dude wipes?
4:42
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure you're talking about a different lane. Now
4:46
Speaker 1: you get in the sponsorship, I'm okay, I'm sure we've
4:50
Speaker 1: got something that equivalent. I don't even know, but you know,
4:56
Speaker 1: MafA Blue, those are your second and third backs best
5:01
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, until one of them proves that
5:03
Speaker 1: they could be a starting running back. And they haven't
5:05
Speaker 1: done that. So I think having them here, having them
5:08
Speaker 1: at camp, let them go to you know, preseason games
5:10
Speaker 1: and do their thing. But I think you still need
5:13
Speaker 1: a starter, and if it's not Javonte, it'll be somebody
5:16
Speaker 1: that has started games in the league and then MafA.
5:19
Speaker 1: It's up to MafA in blue to prove that they're
5:22
Speaker 1: more than that. But uh, you know, they didn't prove
5:24
Speaker 1: that for whatever reason in the offseason, training camp, the
5:29
Speaker 1: regular season to get to that point where they you know,
5:32
Speaker 1: to get these opportunities. So they'll get there. They're young.
5:36
Speaker 1: I think my point is is that I think that
5:38
Speaker 1: they'll be fighting for a roster spot, not not necessarily starting.
5:42
Speaker 1: But they prove us wrong. Great, but I think you're
5:44
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna You're not gonna lean on MafA to
5:47
Speaker 1: be your starting running back, not from a seventh round
5:49
Speaker 1: who played half of a game, you know, so we'll see,
5:53
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. All right, thanks for the call, Casey, Joe.
5:56
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rusty Monument, Colorado.
5:59
Speaker 5: Rusty, Yes, Nick.
6:01
Speaker 7: Thank you for taking my call, first time caller. I
6:04
Speaker 7: have a couple of suggestions for our Cowboys. Uh. First,
6:08
Speaker 7: I would trade George Picking straight up for Crosby. I
6:12
Speaker 7: think they would solve our defensive line problem. And then
6:15
Speaker 7: I would take off the best available offensive lineman and
6:20
Speaker 7: cornerback for the draft, and then explore free agency for
6:25
Speaker 7: linebackers and safeties. Thanks for all time out, Thank.
6:30
Speaker 1: You, thank you, Rusty Monument, Colorado. Didn't get a chance
6:34
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Can were we go? Here we go? Nice?
6:38
Speaker 1: This is somebody he's not he hadn't called our show before.
6:41
Speaker 1: I guarantee he's called the radio before, because I mean
6:43
Speaker 1: he's just like quick in and out. Got a lot
6:45
Speaker 1: of points and then takes the answer off the air.
6:49
Speaker 1: All right, good to hear from you. Trading George Pickins
6:52
Speaker 1: straight up? Now, now at this point, you know you
6:55
Speaker 1: you franchise tag him, then you can trade if you
7:00
Speaker 1: if you want to do that. Most you know you're
7:03
Speaker 1: not going to trade an expiring contract right right now,
7:07
Speaker 1: so you have to get the franchise tag on him.
7:10
Speaker 1: And then when that happens, then you know, you that's
7:13
Speaker 1: where you could explore trade if they if you want
7:15
Speaker 1: to go that route, straight up, straight up Pickens for
7:20
Speaker 1: for Crosby, well, you know, and then then you got
7:24
Speaker 1: two picks. I mean you got to take a receiver,
7:27
Speaker 1: don't you. I mean that's what made this offense so good,
7:31
Speaker 1: is the fact that you had so many weapons. And
7:33
Speaker 1: I think it I think it all worked together, you know.
7:36
Speaker 1: I think the I think Pickens helped CD. I think
7:39
Speaker 1: CD helped Pickens. I think Dak helped both of them.
7:42
Speaker 1: I think they helped Dak. I think they helped Ferguson
7:44
Speaker 1: make plays. I think they all helped Davante. But I
7:46
Speaker 1: think Davante helped them as well. And let's not forget
7:48
Speaker 1: the offensive line, which which ran you know, they they
7:51
Speaker 1: did a good job of run blocking for anybody that
7:53
Speaker 1: was back there. So it was just all a perfect
7:55
Speaker 1: storm that works well together. And I think if you
7:58
Speaker 1: didn't have Pickens, I still think you need another playmaking
8:01
Speaker 1: receiver that scares you. It's always about who scares you.
8:03
Speaker 1: And trust me, and we all know this pick and
8:06
Speaker 1: scared them uh many times this year. All right, let's
8:09
Speaker 1: go to break on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back

9:59
Speaker 1: Let's go back to our phone lines here, Jeremy and
10:02
Speaker 1: d C. What's up, Jeremy, Nick?
10:05
Speaker 5: What's up?
10:05
Speaker 4: Nick?
10:07
Speaker 5: I'm doing all right?
10:08
Speaker 3: Man?
10:08
Speaker 11: You ain't hurt nobody?
10:11
Speaker 12: All right?
10:11
Speaker 11: Man, Gotta check I ain't hurt from defense last year,
10:14
Speaker 11: so just make it sure.
10:15
Speaker 1: True that's true. All right, Jeremy and DC. What we're
10:18
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the DC.
10:20
Speaker 11: All right? So Nick today, man, I feel like I'm
10:23
Speaker 11: not sure if I want White Cotton to be our
10:26
Speaker 11: defensive coordinator. The reason why I say that is because
10:30
Speaker 11: before we got Quinn Williams, all we kept complaining about
10:33
Speaker 11: was how our defensive linements are not playing sown football,
10:37
Speaker 11: are not playing in they gats. So I feel like,
10:40
Speaker 11: if we make White Cotton the defensive coordinator, won't nobody
10:44
Speaker 11: playing their time, won't nobody playing the guys. And that's
10:48
Speaker 11: the problem that we having right now. Yeah, So I
10:51
Speaker 11: feel like we should go outside of the establishment to
10:56
Speaker 11: get some help, you know what I'm saying. And I
10:59
Speaker 11: feel like if we do, you want to build from
11:01
Speaker 11: within what we what we should do is get what's
11:06
Speaker 11: what's what's our what's our rehab injury rehab guy Brent Brown.
11:12
Speaker 11: I think we should have more people under Brent Brown,
11:15
Speaker 11: so that can you know, stay the same for when
11:19
Speaker 11: you know he's on his way doing retirement or whatever.
11:22
Speaker 11: There's no telling when that's gonna happen, but it seems like,
11:26
Speaker 11: you know, we get a D or F in that
11:29
Speaker 11: category at the end of every year because Brent Brown
11:32
Speaker 11: is our only guy. So I feel like if we
11:34
Speaker 11: put more guys there, then we get outside guy on
11:38
Speaker 11: defensive help. I think we'll be a lot better what
11:40
Speaker 11: you think, Nick.
11:43
Speaker 1: You got me confused a little bitter. Are you talking
11:45
Speaker 1: about more guys to help Brit Brown in the in
11:49
Speaker 1: the rehab department? I mean there are guys. I mean,
11:52
Speaker 1: it's not just him. He's not He's kind of is
11:54
Speaker 1: the director of that. But there's different things your defensive
11:58
Speaker 1: line and your and you're.
12:02
Speaker 3: The reason.
12:03
Speaker 11: The reason why I talked about the injury side of
12:06
Speaker 11: things was because for the past couple of years that
12:09
Speaker 11: things like that's been a big issue, the injury sack
12:12
Speaker 11: of things, you know what I'm saying. And we talk
12:15
Speaker 11: about how good of a job Brent Brown does on
12:18
Speaker 11: his on his side of things, But at the beginning
12:21
Speaker 11: of every year, when they come out with the grades
12:23
Speaker 11: for our uh our injuries people, they say it's the
12:28
Speaker 11: d or s because we don't have enough of those
12:31
Speaker 11: people on staff. So I just feel like, if we
12:34
Speaker 11: get enough of those people on the staff, you know
12:37
Speaker 11: what I'm saying, that part right there will be better.
12:40
Speaker 11: One on getting more players healthier at a faster pace,
12:44
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying, and everybody will be learning
12:47
Speaker 11: the Brent brownway. And then I'm not sure if you
12:53
Speaker 11: agree with me on the white tile. And that was
12:55
Speaker 11: all I had for you for the day, Nick, and
12:58
Speaker 11: I talked to you later, but.
12:59
Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate it. You know that there's a lot more
13:01
Speaker 1: politics I think involved in that, and that when you're
13:03
Speaker 1: talking about the survey with the players and the grades
13:06
Speaker 1: and and and not having enough people, you are right
13:09
Speaker 1: about that that that that is the reason why that
13:11
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten that. I don't I don't know how
13:13
Speaker 1: concerned the Cowboys are necessarily with that. Maybe they should be.
13:18
Speaker 1: You know, Britt does a does a really good job
13:22
Speaker 1: with the with the rehab, but you've got to it's
13:25
Speaker 1: a give and take, you know, you've got to be
13:27
Speaker 1: able to commit. If you're a guy that's here at
13:30
Speaker 1: seven am like like he wants you to be, and
13:33
Speaker 1: you're working, you know, hard every day, then you're one
13:36
Speaker 1: of his guys. And if you're one of those guys
13:38
Speaker 1: that that show up when you want to and rehab
13:41
Speaker 1: it on your way, on your own terms, and think
13:43
Speaker 1: you've got a better solution, then then you're not one
13:46
Speaker 1: of his guys, and we've seen cases of both lately.
13:52
Speaker 1: But as for the White Cotton thing, I just don't know,
13:57
Speaker 1: And this is no disrespect to anybody, but I don't
14:00
Speaker 1: know how anybody that coaches on defense should get a promotion.
14:04
Speaker 1: How would you promote anybody from that defense to say, well,
14:08
Speaker 1: you know what, you you should be the coordinator. I
14:12
Speaker 1: don't necessarily see that. You could make the case the
14:16
Speaker 1: same thing last year and say, well, how did Schottenheimer
14:19
Speaker 1: get the head coaching job? How did he get promoted
14:21
Speaker 1: from that? Fair? I mean, like all of that's fair,
14:25
Speaker 1: it'd be a fair argument. If White Cotton's got different
14:28
Speaker 1: ways to do it, fine. I just think across the
14:32
Speaker 1: board they need a new voice, just an absolute new voice.
14:35
Speaker 1: And if that means new different coaches in here, then
14:38
Speaker 1: that's then that's kind of what it means. All right,
14:41
Speaker 1: Let's go to Isaac and Amarillo.
14:44
Speaker 5: Hey, mister Nick, how are you doing?
14:46
Speaker 13: Man?
14:48
Speaker 7: Doing well?
14:48
Speaker 3: They're doing well.
14:49
Speaker 12: Hey, just wanted to pick your brain on something solve
14:51
Speaker 12: the news yesterday about the defensive coordinator leaving, which I think,
14:55
Speaker 12: of course, probably the writing was on the wall. And
14:57
Speaker 12: we never want to like, get excited when anybody loses
14:59
Speaker 12: their that's just not cool.
15:01
Speaker 3: I guess.
15:02
Speaker 12: But we give the general manager a lot of a
15:04
Speaker 12: lot of flag. But mister Nick, I think I think
15:07
Speaker 12: their eyes are open and I'm excited for next season
15:10
Speaker 12: and I know we have to wait all over again,
15:13
Speaker 12: but I just wanted to get your thoughts on the
15:15
Speaker 12: potential incoming DC. What do you think works, sir? Because
15:20
Speaker 12: I think we know that this quote unquote strength of
15:22
Speaker 12: the defense probably is the defensive tackles. Maybe not the
15:25
Speaker 12: defensive line, but the defensive tackles. What kind of voice
15:29
Speaker 12: do you think is going to work for this football team?
15:32
Speaker 12: For where Dak is in his career, for shoddy too, Like,
15:35
Speaker 12: I just want to get your thoughts. Is this going
15:36
Speaker 12: to be like a physical guy that needs to come
15:38
Speaker 12: in here somebody's just roughing tough? Is he more of
15:41
Speaker 12: a tactical tactical guy excuse me, who needs to work
15:44
Speaker 12: on the secondary? Just want to get your thoughts.
15:46
Speaker 3: What do you think?
15:46
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I mean. Thanks, thanks for the call.
15:49
Speaker 1: And that's not you know, and that's not an easy
15:52
Speaker 1: question to answer, because I mean the easy answer is
15:57
Speaker 1: that it's a cop out answer is that they just
15:59
Speaker 1: need to be better and what they had and so
16:01
Speaker 1: how hard is that going to be? No, But I
16:04
Speaker 1: think when you're talking about defensive coaches, and I've said
16:07
Speaker 1: this before and I think this is what made dan
16:09
Speaker 1: Quinn pretty good at what he was doing, and is
16:13
Speaker 1: you you have to figure out a way to simplify
16:18
Speaker 1: what you're teaching to these guys so they understand. So
16:21
Speaker 1: you don't have twelve men on the field, you don't
16:23
Speaker 1: have a pointing at each other. They understand exactly what
16:26
Speaker 1: their role is. They understand what when they see the
16:30
Speaker 1: tight end shift over here, what everyone is supposed to do.
16:34
Speaker 1: That is what they need. That's what a defensive coordinator,
16:37
Speaker 1: a good coordinator has to have. But at the same time,
16:41
Speaker 1: he can't make it so easy to figure out that
16:43
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator who's studying you all week long and
16:47
Speaker 1: all the analytics and all the coaches they have that
16:49
Speaker 1: they've been kind of watching you for the last few
16:52
Speaker 1: weeks that they haven't got it figured out either. Easy
16:56
Speaker 1: for the players to figure out, hard for the for
16:58
Speaker 1: the offense of you know, the coaches and the quarterback
17:01
Speaker 1: to understand what you're doing. That's the biggest That's that's
17:05
Speaker 1: the biggest hurdle that I think a coordinator has. So
17:08
Speaker 1: you've got to figure out a way to to to
17:11
Speaker 1: get all your players on the same page, and and
17:14
Speaker 1: and so if that means an aggressive guy, a guy
17:17
Speaker 1: that blitzes a lot, a guy that plays zone, plays
17:20
Speaker 1: plays man, whatever it is. But be versatile, that's that's
17:24
Speaker 1: the key. I mean, you have to be versatile. Just
17:25
Speaker 1: think about offenses. Can an offense can go jumbo and
17:28
Speaker 1: have a thirteen personnel, three tight ends and and and
17:32
Speaker 1: a big power running back, or you can go five wide.
17:35
Speaker 1: The offense is versatile. Defenses have to be versatile as well.
17:38
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to play big boy football
17:41
Speaker 1: in the trenches. You've got to be able to cover
17:44
Speaker 1: four or five receivers on the field. So you know it.
17:47
Speaker 1: I know I'm talking, you know, basically just very broad,
17:51
Speaker 1: but I mean this day, you have to have a
17:53
Speaker 1: coordinator in here that can have multiple fronts, that can
17:57
Speaker 1: play multiple schemes, but do it in a way where
17:59
Speaker 1: your tea seeing these guys, you know how to adapt
18:02
Speaker 1: on the fly. All right, let's go. Jr. In Avondale
18:07
Speaker 1: born in Nick, how are you today? I'm doing great.
18:10
Speaker 1: I'm great. How are you?
18:12
Speaker 3: Oh?
18:12
Speaker 14: Hanging in there?
18:13
Speaker 13: Hey?
18:13
Speaker 14: So I was watching a game that wasn't a Cowboys
18:15
Speaker 14: game with no audio, and there's a player that he
18:20
Speaker 14: openfield tackled. A few plays later, he defensed the pass.
18:23
Speaker 14: A few plays later he stripped the ball and recovered
18:25
Speaker 14: the fumble, and I thought, that's the kind of guys
18:27
Speaker 14: we need on our team. And then I realized it
18:29
Speaker 14: was Jordan Lewis, And uh, I mean, we undervalue that guy,
18:33
Speaker 14: and I think the defense really missed him and the
18:37
Speaker 14: plays that he made. So good for him. He's in
18:40
Speaker 14: the playoffs and so I which is about the same
18:43
Speaker 14: with Dware or not? Yeah, not Deware. What am I
18:46
Speaker 14: talking about?
18:47
Speaker 13: Tank?
18:47
Speaker 14: Shaw has a lot less of the tank and I
18:49
Speaker 14: wish him the best going forward. So I was thinking about
18:53
Speaker 14: defensive coordinator. There's a lot of guys out there. There's
18:57
Speaker 14: a I don't even know who you can talk about
18:59
Speaker 14: and who you can, but there's a guy in Ohio
19:00
Speaker 14: that's been around a long time. There's a guy Arizona
19:04
Speaker 14: was the head coach, and now with this what happened
19:07
Speaker 14: in Baltimore, there's a young guy up and comer who's
19:10
Speaker 14: available So my question would be, do you think that
19:13
Speaker 14: the Cowboys will go with one of these established guys
19:17
Speaker 14: has been around a long time, been successful, whether he's
19:21
Speaker 14: up and comers, or does a guy like he used
19:24
Speaker 14: to work there in Dallas now he works in Windy City,
19:29
Speaker 14: then DEVI gonna play college? Does he get an opportunity
19:31
Speaker 14: kind of like I know Clayton Adams doesn't call plays,
19:35
Speaker 14: but he got that opportunity as a d as a
19:38
Speaker 14: DC as offensive coordinator. So there's something like that guy
19:43
Speaker 14: in Chicago will get a chance. And I'm just listening
19:45
Speaker 14: to what you think and have a great day. Go Cowboys.
19:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, got a lot going on there, jay R.
19:52
Speaker 1: You're talking in code a little bit, which is which
19:55
Speaker 1: is trying? That's kind of what we have to do.
19:59
Speaker 1: I feel like you were maybe trolling me on the
20:02
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis part, because I know that that was something
20:05
Speaker 1: that we had talked about. You guys had talked about
20:07
Speaker 1: about Jordan Lewis should have been re signed. And his
20:12
Speaker 1: team is in the playoffs. I don't know if he's
20:13
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but his team is in the playoffs
20:16
Speaker 1: for sure. He's on IR but he had a good
20:19
Speaker 1: season and again I'm not changing what I thought there.
20:23
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you paid ten million a
20:24
Speaker 1: year for a slot corner who's been banged up and
20:27
Speaker 1: then got banged up again. Great leader, great person, one
20:31
Speaker 1: of my favorite players of all time that I've covered here.
20:34
Speaker 1: But I just think sometimes when you look at how
20:36
Speaker 1: things are structured, I didn't have a problem with that
20:39
Speaker 1: tank either. Now, if you knew what was going to
20:41
Speaker 1: happen with Micah, yeah, you would have probably resigned him.
20:46
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to a break here on a

Speaker 2: It's a Cowboys storyline presented by let the official shade
22:02
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
22:09
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by jid Lette.
22:13
Speaker 1: It is officially Wednesday, January seventh, Right, yeah, January seventh. Sorry,
22:19
Speaker 1: tape a TV show earlier on. That's why we had
22:22
Speaker 1: to be quick in and out. Still want to be quick.
22:25
Speaker 1: You guys did a good job with that. I didn't
22:27
Speaker 1: get to answer that question JR. Asked about well, and
22:31
Speaker 1: I don't have the answer, but I'll try. And he
22:34
Speaker 1: was talking about different coaches and who could be the
22:38
Speaker 1: option there, and you know what type of coach it's
22:41
Speaker 1: going to be. And I know that there's a trend,
22:44
Speaker 1: you know, I think the last five coordinators have all
22:48
Speaker 1: been former head coaches and so but I don't know
22:53
Speaker 1: if that necessarily will will continue. I don't think it
22:57
Speaker 1: has to. I think it's, you know, this will be
23:00
Speaker 1: a shody hire. There's no doubt about it. Shot He's
23:02
Speaker 1: you're gonna get them the opportunity to hire someone that
23:06
Speaker 1: that he trusts and that he's worked with before. You know,
23:11
Speaker 1: he hadn't I believe he'd worked with Clayton Adams before,
23:15
Speaker 1: but he certainly maybe they did in Seattle a little bit,
23:19
Speaker 1: but but he's certainly, you know, he was fond of him.
23:24
Speaker 1: And Clayton Adams was actually hired by Gannon in Arizona
23:29
Speaker 1: and just recently let go. Gannon would be an option
23:33
Speaker 1: there as as a coordinator. And there's some other coaches
23:36
Speaker 1: too that are that their contracts are expiring now. It's
23:39
Speaker 1: usually five days when your contract is up. It's about
23:42
Speaker 1: five days after the end of the season, and so
23:47
Speaker 1: season ends for a lot of these teams on Sunday.
23:51
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just throwing it out there, Like for
23:53
Speaker 1: say somebody like Minnesota who has a coordinator with an
23:57
Speaker 1: expiring contract, about five days or so is usually the
24:03
Speaker 1: grace period there when when then you can start to
24:07
Speaker 1: you know, negotiate it with another team, or he can
24:10
Speaker 1: sign us out elsewhere or whatever. But that's typically how
24:13
Speaker 1: that goes. It's wide open, though. I mean it's wide open.
24:17
Speaker 1: Just I don't have the answers. No one necessarily does.
24:20
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, and then now I
24:21
Speaker 1: don't believe the Cowboys are just starting on this. There's
24:24
Speaker 1: no way. There's no way that they could just be like,
24:26
Speaker 1: oh hey, let's let's start pulling some names together. I
24:29
Speaker 1: think that this is something they've been thinking about for
24:31
Speaker 1: a while. How could you not You guys have been
24:33
Speaker 1: doing it. How could they not be doing that? All right?
24:36
Speaker 1: Steve in New York?
24:38
Speaker 13: Hey, what's up next?
24:39
Speaker 1: Hey Steve, how are you doing?
24:40
Speaker 13: Oh?
24:41
Speaker 7: Good? Good?
24:42
Speaker 13: Just wanted to thank you and all the storyline is.
24:45
Speaker 13: Obviously the season didn't go the way we planned it,
24:48
Speaker 13: but you guys are always put on a great show.
24:51
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
24:52
Speaker 5: Thanks to give you.
24:53
Speaker 13: Yeah, forward's still listen to it. Almost fifty years a
24:56
Speaker 13: fan for me, So I'm not going anywhere. Just too
24:59
Speaker 13: quick takes. I think you might have agreed with made
25:02
Speaker 13: this point first off, Tyler Smith I'm for keeping him
25:09
Speaker 13: at guard. Not sure if if I'm sure, you weigh
25:12
Speaker 13: in on it. But I've heard so many people yeah
25:14
Speaker 13: both ways. With that, I just think the compounds it
25:17
Speaker 13: just creates another problem. And I don't know. That's just
25:21
Speaker 13: my take. And as far as his draft, I'm not
25:23
Speaker 13: a draft person as far. I mean, I'm gonna look
25:25
Speaker 13: at players obviously, but we have twelve and twenty now it'll.
25:30
Speaker 1: Be like, it won't be twenty. It'll be like twenty one,
25:33
Speaker 1: twenty three. I mean, depends on what Green Bay does.
25:36
Speaker 1: But you know, look low twenties. Probably if they keep winning,
25:39
Speaker 1: then it'll it'll go up. But you know, if they're
25:41
Speaker 1: the seventeen, if they lose to the Bears, they'll probably
25:44
Speaker 1: be twenty one or twenty two.
25:46
Speaker 13: I thought I saw a scenario where if Carolina and
25:49
Speaker 13: Green Bay both lose, we get nineteen out. Don't quote
25:52
Speaker 13: me on that. I thought I read that somewhere.
25:57
Speaker 1: Well, there's some, but my math isn't green. There's twenty
26:01
Speaker 1: teams that don't make the playoffs, right, twelve teams are fourteen?
26:04
Speaker 1: What am I thinking? Fourteen teams make the playoffs?
26:08
Speaker 17: Yeah?
26:08
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, nineteen twenty twenty one probably in that
26:11
Speaker 1: in that area. I'm not familiar with those tie breakers
26:15
Speaker 1: right there. I don't know why I was back in
26:16
Speaker 1: the old Yeah.
26:17
Speaker 13: It has something to do with a wild tie break
26:19
Speaker 13: or something something like that. But I thought they said
26:21
Speaker 13: twelve to nineteen as possible. But the reason why I
26:23
Speaker 13: mentioned it is because I know people, you know, look
26:26
Speaker 13: at the two number ones, and now, why don't we
26:28
Speaker 13: trade I want to keep both of them. I do
26:31
Speaker 13: not want to trade down. I think there's a lot
26:34
Speaker 13: of good football playoffs coming out defensively. I just I
26:37
Speaker 13: want two of them between, you know, in those first
26:41
Speaker 13: two picks we have. I don't want to mess around there.
26:43
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree this this, yeah, this is this
26:47
Speaker 1: could really be you know, I just don't think you
26:49
Speaker 1: don't need to move back and stockpile second and third rounders.
26:53
Speaker 1: They haven't had success there, they really haven't. And you know,
26:57
Speaker 1: this is this is a big This is a really
27:00
Speaker 1: big draft for for for this team. But you know,
27:02
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are in where they're in because
27:05
Speaker 1: they haven't done that well in the draft. They've they've
27:07
Speaker 1: done They've hit some first round picks, but you know,
27:11
Speaker 1: Will McLay and those guys over there, and and they
27:15
Speaker 1: the last five or six years, if you go back
27:17
Speaker 1: and look at it, they really haven't hit on a
27:20
Speaker 1: lot of players, especially on defense offense. Yeah, defense, not really,
27:26
Speaker 1: you know, So.
27:27
Speaker 13: I agree, all right, okay, Nick, I'll get you with
27:32
Speaker 13: a trip. We have Piper quick trip.
27:33
Speaker 1: Sure, go for it.
27:34
Speaker 13: Okay, because I know COVID year, very strange year, and
27:40
Speaker 13: I'm not going that far back. So but the Cowboys
27:45
Speaker 13: punted that year was Chris Jones. He got hurt, the
27:47
Speaker 13: only punted in eight games. Do you remember who is
27:51
Speaker 13: the guy who replaced them? Was you get this one?
27:54
Speaker 13: I'm just.
27:57
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, hold on. It's funny. Were you asked
28:00
Speaker 1: me the question about twenty two thousand and two and
28:03
Speaker 1: with Philip Philippovitch.
28:04
Speaker 13: Philip Philipovitch, that was me, of course?
28:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I get that one. But twenty twenty, yeah,
28:11
Speaker 1: five years ago, Chris Jones, Chris Jones, and did this
28:14
Speaker 1: guy punt half the season?
28:17
Speaker 13: Eight games? Yeah? Because I think Chris Jones got hurt.
28:20
Speaker 13: I don't think he ever. I think he only played
28:23
Speaker 13: one year in the league. And you know that was
28:29
Speaker 13: that was obviously for the whole career was the COVID
28:32
Speaker 13: year pretty much for the.
28:32
Speaker 1: Cowboyst Yeah that in my mind, I keep thinking of
28:37
Speaker 1: a guy like named Polesquo. But that's so far before that.
28:41
Speaker 1: That's not right. You got me? Who is it?
28:44
Speaker 13: I think people who go to iowall remember this name
28:46
Speaker 13: only Hunter Niswana now that's you remember him?
28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, I have. I have a story on
28:53
Speaker 1: this guy. Yes, oh you gotta really really mad about
28:57
Speaker 1: this now I'm mad that Hunter, Hunter nice nice Winder. Yeah, okay,
29:03
Speaker 1: this one here this thanks for the call. Yeah, I
29:05
Speaker 1: have a story about this. This makes me upset because
29:08
Speaker 1: I should remember this. We're in We're in uh Baltimore, Baltimore.
29:14
Speaker 1: Now that year I got to travel and I was
29:17
Speaker 1: up in a suite by myself. They put me in
29:20
Speaker 1: a suite all year long, and I would that's how
29:24
Speaker 1: I would watch the games on the road by myself
29:26
Speaker 1: in a suite. And sometimes they would be full, fully
29:30
Speaker 1: loaded of food and drinks and hot dogs and everything,
29:34
Speaker 1: and it would just be me. And so one time,
29:37
Speaker 1: one game, here comes Hunter nice Winder, I think it's
29:40
Speaker 1: his name, and he's he doesn't know where to go,
29:43
Speaker 1: and he's like he walks up here with his bag
29:45
Speaker 1: and he I think he was on the practice squad.
29:47
Speaker 1: He was about to get called up, and he was like,
29:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm playing today or not. And
29:52
Speaker 1: this is like an hour and a half before the game.
29:54
Speaker 1: He's like, I think I'm supposed to play, but I'm
29:56
Speaker 1: not sure. And I'm just sitting here thinking like kind
29:59
Speaker 1: of a you stuff? Is this like where the punter
30:02
Speaker 1: is like, they haven't told me. I got my cleats,
30:05
Speaker 1: I think I'm ready, and I'm just like, what is
30:07
Speaker 1: going on in this world where this guy and he
30:09
Speaker 1: doesn't know where to go? Do you know where I
30:11
Speaker 1: would go? I was like, well, not up here, not
30:13
Speaker 1: up in the suite, Like this is not where you're
30:15
Speaker 1: gonna get ready to play in the game. And I
30:16
Speaker 1: don't have the answer, maybe like the head coach or
30:19
Speaker 1: somebody special teams coach. And so he goes down there
30:23
Speaker 1: and turns out he didn't play that game, but he
30:26
Speaker 1: ended up playing the next one. But nice kid, I
30:29
Speaker 1: should have remembered that because that story, I mean that
30:31
Speaker 1: that was just that whole crazy year and You're like
30:34
Speaker 1: every week there's something weird happening, and I'm like, nothing
30:37
Speaker 1: more strange than that where the punter is walking around
30:40
Speaker 1: up in the suite. It's like, do you know how
30:42
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you about playing this game today?
30:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, Like, I think it's supposed to play,
30:48
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. And I'm like, wow, yeah, cool. Anyways,
30:54
Speaker 1: that's my story. Armando, Mexico City. Good. How are you doing?
31:00
Speaker 4: Fine? Fine?
31:00
Speaker 17: Happy New Year you too, Tonique. I was very impressed
31:04
Speaker 17: with your record of twenty five years without missing a game.
31:07
Speaker 1: That's amazing, Thank you, thank you so much. And that
31:11
Speaker 1: year out there, that COVID year, that almost that almost
31:13
Speaker 1: took me out, but it almost a lot.
31:16
Speaker 17: So I wonder if Jerry ever missed a game.
31:20
Speaker 1: I don't know that I thought about that myself. Maybe
31:25
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe he did inn and if so,
31:28
Speaker 1: it was kind of kept quiet or you didn't hear
31:30
Speaker 1: it was maybe late in the season. He probably did,
31:33
Speaker 1: but I don't remember that he might have.
31:35
Speaker 13: Wow.
31:37
Speaker 17: So anyway, I completely agree with what you said last
31:40
Speaker 17: Monday that you like to attend any type of game
31:43
Speaker 17: precision possism. Yeah, when you're out of it, I'm just
31:48
Speaker 17: like you. I was fortunately enough to be in the
31:51
Speaker 17: past game in New York and I was riazing, but
31:55
Speaker 17: still I was there, you know, until the clocks tracked
31:59
Speaker 17: double Field. I didn't want to leave. So and that
32:03
Speaker 17: was amazed at how many Cowboys fans were in the stadium.
32:06
Speaker 17: I didn't know it was that many.
32:08
Speaker 4: So what did we trouble with? You know?
32:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's a lot. New York has a lot
32:14
Speaker 1: of everything, you know what I mean, they have they
32:15
Speaker 1: probably have, you know, fans of the Wyoming Cowboys there
32:19
Speaker 1: at some point.
32:20
Speaker 13: You know.
32:20
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying they have fans there, and
32:23
Speaker 1: so they have a lot of people. And yeah, there's
32:25
Speaker 1: always a lot of Cowboy fans and like you, hey,
32:27
Speaker 1: if if the team is playing, you know what, maybe
32:30
Speaker 1: they're either they're out of the playoffs, but still gonna
32:32
Speaker 1: go out there and support and so that's kind of
32:35
Speaker 1: that's why America's team is what it is.
32:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
32:38
Speaker 17: Absolutely, So anyway, n I just want to thank you
32:41
Speaker 17: for a great season again for and looking forward to
32:45
Speaker 17: the EL season to have a good one and have
32:47
Speaker 17: a whole fun one.
32:48
Speaker 1: Thank you.
32:49
Speaker 17: There's gonna be a lot of stuff.
32:51
Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
32:52
Speaker 1: Armando, thanks to the call. Thank you Armando. In Mexico City,
32:57
Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys will be going to Mexico City. You know,
33:01
Speaker 1: I feel this. I'm pretty confident in saying this. The
33:05
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to play an international game next year,
33:08
Speaker 1: at least one, I think, I think. I think I'm
33:10
Speaker 1: pretty confident. There's just too much, you know, there's too
33:14
Speaker 1: much smoke, I guess for around the fire on that one,
33:17
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will be playing a game there
33:20
Speaker 1: for sure. All right, let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
33:25
Speaker 18: Hey, what's up?
33:25
Speaker 8: Nick?
33:25
Speaker 18: And Frisco?
33:26
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up? Zack in Atlanta?
33:28
Speaker 14: How do you?
33:30
Speaker 18: I want to apologize about my call the other day.
33:32
Speaker 18: I had some technical difficulties, couldn't hear you well, and
33:35
Speaker 18: so I buldozed through some of your comments that you
33:37
Speaker 18: wanted to make. So apologize about that that.
33:40
Speaker 1: I barely remember Armando's call from Mexico City like twenty
33:44
Speaker 1: seconds ago. So it's all good. I don't know. I didn't.
33:49
Speaker 1: I slept okay after that, So I think it's fine.
33:51
Speaker 1: Don't worry about I don't have to apologize to me.
33:54
Speaker 18: Good. I feel vindicated. Let's talk ball man. One change
33:59
Speaker 18: I would like to see, and I know this depends
34:01
Speaker 18: a lot on just one the strength of our defense
34:03
Speaker 18: just one of many, but everybody's talking about defense. I
34:09
Speaker 18: would like to see, uh, just some more commitment to
34:13
Speaker 18: the running game. I mean I was looking at stats.
34:16
Speaker 18: I mean we we rushed for over two thousand yards,
34:19
Speaker 18: pretty comparable to every other season, even Zeke leading the
34:22
Speaker 18: league and rushing all that. But it just, you know,
34:26
Speaker 18: the game's strategy flipped pretty quick when we got behind
34:30
Speaker 18: the eight ball, but even some games were still competitive,
34:32
Speaker 18: and it just felt like Shody was ripping it, you know,
34:35
Speaker 18: And I get the Moneys invested in Deck in CD,
34:40
Speaker 18: you know, you want to have to and then you
34:41
Speaker 18: know we have Jeep of course, and so it's like,
34:43
Speaker 18: you know, you want to see the fireworks and get
34:46
Speaker 18: you get your money's worth. But I felt like that
34:48
Speaker 18: could have helped our defense a little more. But anyways,
34:53
Speaker 18: that that's that's something that I would like to see,
34:56
Speaker 18: you know, going forward with shoddy But uh, question, who
35:01
Speaker 18: do you have winning the college football playoffs and then
35:04
Speaker 18: the NFL? Who's who do you think is gonna win
35:06
Speaker 18: it all? And are there are there elements a defensive side?
35:10
Speaker 18: But what do you see in the playoff teams that
35:14
Speaker 18: maybe the Cowboys could implement Again, we know the defense
35:16
Speaker 18: is the biggest problem, but is there anything else that
35:18
Speaker 18: you could pinpoint? And with that, I will hang up.
35:20
Speaker 18: Thanks for taking my call.
35:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, tough, tough to answer that, just because you know,
35:25
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have an offense that's better than just about
35:28
Speaker 1: all those offenses there, and so it's just, you know,
35:31
Speaker 1: to me, it's about balance, about about having you know,
35:34
Speaker 1: complimentary football, being able to play you know, any any
35:39
Speaker 1: game that that's gonna matter, you know, and and and
35:42
Speaker 1: that that's what's interesting. It's it takes a certain amount
35:45
Speaker 1: of team to get into the playoffs, and we've seen
35:47
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do it. Then it takes another kind of
35:51
Speaker 1: team to really have success in there, and the Cowboys
35:54
Speaker 1: have had problems because they couldn't stop the run and
35:58
Speaker 1: couldn't run the football in the playoff And would have
36:02
Speaker 1: been interesting, you know, if your defense was a little better,
36:04
Speaker 1: you could have got into the playoffs here because you know,
36:08
Speaker 1: they do have a running game that is a playoff
36:12
Speaker 1: type of running game. You could and to your point,
36:16
Speaker 1: Zach about maybe running the ball even more that could
36:18
Speaker 1: have helped the defense. Yeah, I mean, you know, you
36:22
Speaker 1: want to move the ball, you want to go with
36:23
Speaker 1: what works, and the offense is definitely rolling, and you
36:26
Speaker 1: don't want to take the ball out of daks hands
36:28
Speaker 1: and all that. The one thing I would say that
36:30
Speaker 1: if I go back and maybe look at some of
36:33
Speaker 1: these games and these moments, I felt like they passed
36:38
Speaker 1: it too much in the red zone. I just don't
36:42
Speaker 1: remember a lot of times third and goal from the one,
36:46
Speaker 1: or fourth and goal from the one where they just
36:48
Speaker 1: got stuffed. I mean, I know it happened, but I
36:53
Speaker 1: I can't remember a game where and I might be
36:57
Speaker 1: missing this because I did miss the punter hunter nice
37:00
Speaker 1: Winders already, I'm off my game, but I don't remember
37:03
Speaker 1: a lot of times where they tried to run it
37:07
Speaker 1: and they just absolutely got stuffed. Javonte just didn't make
37:10
Speaker 1: it fourth and one or fourth in inches or at
37:12
Speaker 1: the goal line. I feel like most of the time
37:16
Speaker 1: he got it. That's what makes him a really good
37:18
Speaker 1: power for running back. He always was leaning in forward,
37:20
Speaker 1: moving forward. I think they went away from that a
37:24
Speaker 1: lot down in the red zone. I think there was
37:26
Speaker 1: times where they kicked field goals where I feel like
37:28
Speaker 1: on second or third down, if you would have just
37:31
Speaker 1: kind of kept going with it, kept running it because
37:34
Speaker 1: think about when it's second and goal from the five. Okay,
37:38
Speaker 1: you know it was first and goal from the eight
37:40
Speaker 1: you got three. Now second and goal and the five
37:42
Speaker 1: you threw it incomplete. Now third down you threw it
37:46
Speaker 1: and it was incomplete. Then you're just going to kick
37:48
Speaker 1: the field goal. But I feel like Jamonte is one
37:52
Speaker 1: where he can power through. He can get two or
37:55
Speaker 1: three yards on second down. Now third and goal from
37:58
Speaker 1: the two, you probably got two plays. You could run
38:00
Speaker 1: it again and again. I just feel like they got
38:05
Speaker 1: a little too cute at times in the red zone
38:09
Speaker 1: and didn't And and you know, and Dak was asked
38:11
Speaker 1: after the season or right before that last game, what's
38:14
Speaker 1: the one thing that he thinks that they can improve
38:17
Speaker 1: the most on. And he did say red zone scoring.
38:19
Speaker 1: And they didn't say specifically how and why and all that,
38:22
Speaker 1: but red zone scoring is something that they got to
38:24
Speaker 1: get cleaned up. And that to take that Going back
38:27
Speaker 1: to Steven new York's point from two calls ago about
38:31
Speaker 1: Tyler and left guard, I'm keeping Tyler left guard myself.
38:35
Speaker 1: That's where I would like him to be. I just
38:38
Speaker 1: think that's where he's going to be elite. I think
38:41
Speaker 1: he would be a good solid left tackle, maybe make
38:44
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. But I think he's an all Pro
38:46
Speaker 1: left guard. I think he's a he's you know, he
38:49
Speaker 1: could be a future Hall of Famer. And and I
38:51
Speaker 1: say that because there's only three three guards in the
38:54
Speaker 1: history of the NFL that have made three Pro Bowls
38:56
Speaker 1: before they turned twenty five. He's one of them. So young,
39:00
Speaker 1: smart player that that can dominate their him baby Booker
39:04
Speaker 1: in the in the churnches. Those three guys trust him
39:07
Speaker 1: a little bit more, trust him in a power pack
39:10
Speaker 1: that they're going to be able to move forward and
39:12
Speaker 1: get that. All right, let's go Davian in Illinois, Man,
39:16
Speaker 1: what what's up?
39:18
Speaker 4: What a do?
39:18
Speaker 11: Nick?

Speaker 1: Are you on the camp again? Are y'all doing this?
40:03
Speaker 3: Well?
40:04
Speaker 5: I can't because I'm going on a cruise, but I
40:07
Speaker 5: think I'm gonna try to do Frisco, so I might
40:09
Speaker 5: come out of Frisco for that two day event that
40:11
Speaker 5: y'all do that in there, because Frisco would be easy
40:14
Speaker 5: for me to get to to.
40:17
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand how that went down. I got it. Now,
40:21
Speaker 1: you're going on not by yourself.
40:25
Speaker 5: I imagine, no, no, no, no no. If my college friends were
40:29
Speaker 5: actually childhood friends and the white so yeah, we're doing
40:34
Speaker 5: like a little family thing.
40:35
Speaker 1: But I get it now. I understand. Sometimes these things
40:38
Speaker 1: take a whole year. So what happened was you said,
40:41
Speaker 1: I'm going to training camp last year. She says, sure,
40:44
Speaker 1: no problem, you can have it next year. We're going
40:48
Speaker 1: on a cruise. You're taking me on a cruise, so
40:51
Speaker 1: you can have this year. Next year we're going on
40:53
Speaker 1: a cruise. And you're like that cool, got it. Whatever
40:56
Speaker 1: you know next year and now now that's what happened,
40:59
Speaker 1: all right.
41:01
Speaker 3: Right, yeah you got it. I know how that works.
41:04
Speaker 5: You know how that works.
41:06
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, they have an unbelievable memory when they
41:11
Speaker 1: want to, and we all do, right, we all do right.
41:15
Speaker 5: I was like, uh, I was like yeah, uh so man, yeah,
41:21
Speaker 5: yesterday I get to play house dad now because I'm
41:25
Speaker 5: off work. So yesterday a little ball and bus I
41:29
Speaker 5: came back and kind of nodded off a little bit
41:32
Speaker 5: and then wake up and I hear I see that
41:34
Speaker 5: flues guy fired. I was like, oh man, I almost
41:37
Speaker 5: want to streak through the quads because it was just
41:40
Speaker 5: like so cool that we're finally gonna have it. We
41:43
Speaker 5: got to get rid of them quick, and we're gonna
41:46
Speaker 5: get into the sweet states of getting us a new
41:48
Speaker 5: DC eight staff instead of being kind of dragging our
41:51
Speaker 5: feet and stuff. So I was just I was just
41:54
Speaker 5: so happy about that that that that seeing that, I
41:56
Speaker 5: was like, yes, yes, we were going.
41:58
Speaker 1: When somebody said that they're going to take ten to
42:00
Speaker 1: twelve days of like no, ten to twelve minutes, yeah.
42:04
Speaker 5: I never thought that, never thought that.
42:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, truth, truth be told. On Monday afternoon, Like, you know,
42:11
Speaker 1: we we know we walked around here, we see where,
42:14
Speaker 1: we know where where the stairs lead to. We're on
42:17
Speaker 1: the like the second floor, and we know what's on
42:19
Speaker 1: the third floor, and we saw ebra flus going up there.
42:23
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, okay, I mean, like they're not
42:26
Speaker 1: they're not gonna They're not you know, messing around a
42:28
Speaker 1: little bit here. I mean, and how could you not
42:31
Speaker 1: It would spend three weeks you're out of the playoffs.
42:33
Speaker 1: There's no reason to have ten to twelve days of
42:35
Speaker 1: evaluation on all that stuff, especially in this case. It
42:39
Speaker 1: just it was the worst defense in the history of
42:41
Speaker 1: the Cowboys.
42:41
Speaker 5: I mean, you have to it wasn't no, it wouldn't no,
42:44
Speaker 5: it wouldn't have no debate, no, like, just go ahead
42:47
Speaker 5: and cut it off. Like I said, I think just
42:49
Speaker 5: gonna be a shotty higher, and I got we got, well,
42:52
Speaker 5: we got a good group check going about who may
42:54
Speaker 5: maybe be. I mean, I got my idea about what
42:56
Speaker 5: I want. So we'll see what happens, I guess, depending
42:59
Speaker 5: on what. Like you just said, the window just open
43:01
Speaker 5: up for people start interviewing and stuff like that. So yeah, man,
43:05
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm really excited about seeing what dow DC
43:08
Speaker 5: gonna be. I like our I like opposition in the draft.
43:11
Speaker 5: I think I think you were talking to somebody earlier
43:13
Speaker 5: the earth. The lowest we can go, it's twenty because
43:18
Speaker 5: Carolina's not gonna beat the Rams, so basically that they
43:22
Speaker 5: against nineteen, but Green Bay should lose and then we'll
43:26
Speaker 5: get twenty. So twenty twenty one. So right now, so
43:29
Speaker 5: a big deal. Well, we got space tomorrow, So anybody
43:35
Speaker 5: that wants to jump on and get with us after dark,
43:39
Speaker 5: that would be Space tomorrow, seven o'clock Central.
43:42
Speaker 1: I'm jumping in. I'm jumping on.
43:47
Speaker 5: You know, you know, nobody gonna be wild.
43:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's do it.
43:51
Speaker 5: Hey, But I agree with you there on George Lewis,
43:54
Speaker 5: So you know your boy got you back. I agree, yeah, George,
43:57
Speaker 5: little though.
43:59
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Jordan Lewis by the way, you
44:01
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I just like, but it's it's
44:04
Speaker 1: it's tough, and you know, and that's the thing, like,
44:07
Speaker 1: you can't compete with Jacksonville. I'm in free agency. I mean,
44:12
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is gonna lose in a lot of things when
44:15
Speaker 1: it comes to city uniform color, quarterbacks, hair, everything. They're
44:22
Speaker 1: gonna lose a lot. Okay, but free agency, Ah, you
44:27
Speaker 1: can't beat that. They're gonna they're gonna win free agency.
44:30
Speaker 1: They want to pay they got you, you know, because
44:32
Speaker 1: they don't have any they haven't paid anybody. So it's
44:34
Speaker 1: hard to compete with that. And I'm just kidding about Lawrence.
44:39
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. He's got cool hair. Actually. All right, all right, Davey,
44:43
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thanks for the call. Let's go to
44:47
Speaker 1: Eric in Arkansas. Man, Eric, what's up?
44:50
Speaker 3: What's going on with it?
44:51
Speaker 1: How you doing?
44:52
Speaker 3: How you doing well? I can't complain in a while.
44:55
Speaker 1: I haven't called in a while. It's not your first call.
44:57
Speaker 3: Though, right, no, just my second for real. I remember,
45:01
Speaker 3: I know.
45:02
Speaker 1: The Arkansas callers. I don't remember exactly where you're from
45:05
Speaker 1: in Arkansas. I don't remember. Is it Little rock area?
45:08
Speaker 3: I'm actually in Bryant, Yeah, the Little Rocky area, Bryant, Brian, Arkansas.
45:11
Speaker 3: You say go Hall, Oh yeah, you sayd go Halls,
45:14
Speaker 3: I said, I from a state.
45:15
Speaker 1: Oh wowy hey, y'all. I had a bowl game right
45:19
Speaker 1: down here, right here at the Ford.
45:21
Speaker 5: Center, right right right.
45:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the last team Arkansas beat in football. It's
45:28
Speaker 1: for real.
45:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, right, it was before.
45:31
Speaker 1: Labor Day that that's out. Yeah. Man, Anyway, I.
45:34
Speaker 3: Actually went to that game. I actually went to the game.
45:37
Speaker 3: It was yeah, tailgate was better than the games.
45:39
Speaker 1: So al, all right, Eric, what's up man? What's going
45:43
Speaker 1: on in uh in Arkansas? About the Cowboys? There?
45:47
Speaker 5: Man?
45:47
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a die hard, been that hard copboy
45:50
Speaker 3: fan forever, but I've never seen our defense this bad, right,
45:55
Speaker 3: So I was actually worried that we were going to
45:59
Speaker 3: drag this uh change out like we normally do. Then,
46:05
Speaker 3: Like I've been telling my cousins because we always go
46:07
Speaker 3: to a game every year, and I'm like, this feels different.
46:10
Speaker 3: You know, Jerry eighty three, he's not trying to hang
46:12
Speaker 3: around and and and mess around and dragged us out.
46:16
Speaker 3: And when I started, he got it done yesterday. I'm
46:19
Speaker 3: leaning more towards to it's gonna be a change, meaning
46:24
Speaker 3: we're gonna get the free agents, we're gonna do better
46:27
Speaker 3: in the draft and things of that nature, because we
46:29
Speaker 3: missed on the defensive side for a long time. I mean,
46:34
Speaker 3: we got Parson, Parson really fell in our lap, but
46:37
Speaker 3: we we'd reached Taco for one we missed on a
46:41
Speaker 3: lot of linebackers. Uh, we gotta do better this year.
46:44
Speaker 3: We cannot miss with the twelfth and maybe the twentieth six.
46:49
Speaker 3: For me, if Down's there, I'm all over down. Yeah.
46:54
Speaker 3: I want him as a safety because he's a He's
46:56
Speaker 3: more than just a safety. He's a game changer, and
46:58
Speaker 3: we don't have that with some There's no doubt. Yeah,
47:02
Speaker 3: and a lot of people saying things there, Okay, but
47:07
Speaker 3: we need a linebacker. We need Mike bad I mean
47:11
Speaker 3: not just anyone. We need a hole. A person who
47:14
Speaker 3: can kill the whole sideline to sideline sunny styles my
47:19
Speaker 3: name come up for that. Yeah, what's your thoughts?
47:23
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. I'm a little bit worried about
47:26
Speaker 1: an inside a middle linebacker right off the bat there,
47:28
Speaker 1: like a rookie. I think if for me, I think
47:32
Speaker 1: I would go like corner and pass rusher if possible,
47:37
Speaker 1: and maybe really hit linebacker with free agency, a guy
47:40
Speaker 1: that kind of understands the game a little bit more.
47:44
Speaker 1: But you know, you can kind of talk out of
47:47
Speaker 1: both sides your mouth there because at the same time
47:49
Speaker 1: you can get more value, you know, like if you
47:52
Speaker 1: take a linebacker at twenty twenty one something like that.
47:56
Speaker 1: You're you're probably gonna get a really good player, you know, That's.
47:59
Speaker 3: Just that's what I'm thinking about.
48:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get you can get a lot more value.
48:02
Speaker 1: It's kind of like taking a guard. It's like safety,
48:05
Speaker 1: you know, same type of things. So those are positions
48:08
Speaker 1: of needs. So I'm for that as well. But we'll
48:12
Speaker 1: see what free agency looks like and how what they
48:14
Speaker 1: if they can kind of cover up some of those
48:15
Speaker 1: holes in free agency.
48:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's key right there, what we do in free agency,
48:21
Speaker 3: because a lot of times we haven't made the moves. No,
48:23
Speaker 3: we're we're shopping at Dollar General trying to get bankeys.
48:26
Speaker 3: So you know what I'm saying. So, and that ain't
48:28
Speaker 3: gonna work. We've been doing it too long. Some of
48:32
Speaker 3: the guys, you know, after they get released from us,
48:34
Speaker 3: they probably won't be back in the league. Yeah, I mean,
48:37
Speaker 3: you just got to be honest. So I'm hoping, you know,
48:41
Speaker 3: we cannot miss on this draft. We just get we
48:43
Speaker 3: got two first round picks. We don't have a second.
48:46
Speaker 3: I don't think we have a third.
48:48
Speaker 1: We have a fourth, yeah, yeah, just a four? Yeah, okay,
48:54
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, we'll see what happens there
48:56
Speaker 1: and then you'll get some comp picks in probably later
48:59
Speaker 1: not gonna have a thing great and the comp picks
49:02
Speaker 1: maybe a two, maybe three. But yeah, yeah, the draft
49:06
Speaker 1: is the draft is is key and as those that
49:09
Speaker 1: first round, I mean you're gonna have you know, And
49:11
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Eric, is good to hear from you.
49:15
Speaker 1: You know, I was talking with the colleague the other
49:19
Speaker 1: day and was kind of going through some stats and
49:22
Speaker 1: it basically he went all the way back to twenty
49:24
Speaker 1: twenty and uh, he was like going going to twenty twenty,
49:28
Speaker 1: like on defense that they drafted, like forty guys. Who
49:32
Speaker 1: have they hit on? I mean Diggs, Yeah, you got
49:35
Speaker 1: a second contract and so you know, then then it
49:38
Speaker 1: all went to crap. But I mean he did, and
49:40
Speaker 1: they definitely hit on a second round pick there. Micah
49:45
Speaker 1: was a hit in the second contract, but obviously was
49:49
Speaker 1: was a hit kind of fell in their lap. As
49:52
Speaker 1: Eric alluded to, ohso is a hit. I mean third
49:55
Speaker 1: round pick, ohso is a hit. I don't know about
49:58
Speaker 1: chem zy Golts. I don't know if I would call that.
50:00
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a solid player, but
50:02
Speaker 1: they didn't resign him. I think you got to hit,
50:03
Speaker 1: you gotta resign them and and you know develop them.
50:06
Speaker 1: Doron Bland, you know, is he's got another foot injury.
50:10
Speaker 1: He's gonna have surgery next week, same foot, same same surgery,
50:14
Speaker 1: same same procedure, same everything. So either that's not a
50:17
Speaker 1: great thing. But as far as fifth round goes, and
50:19
Speaker 1: the guy that hit and was it was in the
50:21
Speaker 1: finalists for Defensive Player of the Year instead of records. Yeah,
50:23
Speaker 1: that was a good hit. Who else That's it? It's
50:28
Speaker 1: really it for defense. I mean when you when you
50:30
Speaker 1: look around all these other guys that they've drafted all
50:33
Speaker 1: over the place, I'm just gonna throw out nay Sean Wright,
50:36
Speaker 1: Jabril Cox, I mean, Sam Williams, Ridgeway, Devin Harper, Simmi Fajoco,
50:45
Speaker 1: never played, you know, Eric Scott, Marshawn Neeland, rest in peace.
50:49
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, Maris lea foul, Kaylen Carson.
50:53
Speaker 1: They haven't hit. Now you get into this draft as
50:55
Speaker 1: a roku. We'll see Revel, We'll see Tamar James, all
50:59
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, shows a little bit of something,
51:01
Speaker 1: but but we'll see how they developed. But that's you know,
51:07
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore. I went back to twenty twenty, Reggie Robinson,
51:10
Speaker 1: Bradley and I these guys just you know Bohanna Kuama.
51:16
Speaker 1: They didn't hit on just maybe two or three out
51:21
Speaker 1: of forty. So that's that that's an issue offense that
51:25
Speaker 1: we've seen some better results, but not not so much
51:28
Speaker 1: on defense. All right, Dylan, Northport, Florida.
51:31
Speaker 3: How's gone good?
51:32
Speaker 1: How are you good?
51:33
Speaker 19: I'm glad I was able to get through.
51:35
Speaker 4: I had a hell of a time.
51:35
Speaker 19: My phone wasn't working, and I'm here now.
51:39
Speaker 1: But it's as a true captain. I mean you figured
51:42
Speaker 1: it out, right, you figured it out.
51:43
Speaker 19: I had a charge of my work phone's been dead
51:45
Speaker 19: for eight months. Sitting here at my desk. I got
51:47
Speaker 19: a charge at plugging in charge it and calling from
51:48
Speaker 19: that phone, and.
51:49
Speaker 4: Here I am.
51:50
Speaker 1: I love it. Your work phone's been dead for eight months.
51:54
Speaker 13: Sorry, No one told me.
51:57
Speaker 1: I don't know my charger? Yeah, do you have a razor?
51:59
Speaker 1: I mean that you don't have a charger. What do
52:01
Speaker 1: you got?
52:02
Speaker 3: Yeah?
52:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I did.
52:04
Speaker 3: Listen.
52:04
Speaker 19: Someone wants to again in contact.
52:05
Speaker 5: Me, they can keeyuse me.
52:06
Speaker 19: Don't call my phone for a phone calls all right? Yeah?
52:11
Speaker 1: As you call once once a week?
52:15
Speaker 19: Yeah, no, doubt, no doubt. Actually, before I want to
52:18
Speaker 19: talk about Randy Calton and talked about last show, but
52:21
Speaker 19: someone else mentioned as well, they're a little nervous about
52:26
Speaker 19: paying a defensive coordinator. Uh, maybe that Jerry was going
52:29
Speaker 19: to be cheap whatever. Well Flus was the second highest
52:31
Speaker 19: paid defensive coordinator in the sl so uh, he's not
52:35
Speaker 19: going to cheap out. I don't think on the on
52:36
Speaker 19: the d C, the OC those kind of guys. But
52:39
Speaker 19: you know, the head coach is obviously that's been a
52:40
Speaker 19: pattern there, so that's obviously a little different. But I'm
52:43
Speaker 19: not worried about him cheaping out quote unquote for a
52:45
Speaker 19: d C and if that means he has to raise
52:48
Speaker 19: whatever he's paying you know, Shoty by a mill or two.
52:51
Speaker 19: So that way, there's no weird dynamic there with with
52:54
Speaker 19: who's getting paid more. I mean, okay, whatever.
52:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
52:58
Speaker 19: I also don't see you know, Shoddy being weird about
53:00
Speaker 19: it either, because he's gonna have a big thing in
53:02
Speaker 19: this thing. So if he really wants the guy to
53:04
Speaker 19: help him on the other side of the field that
53:05
Speaker 19: he trusts and doesn't have to be as hands on
53:07
Speaker 19: with the defense, you know, since he's the offensive guy
53:09
Speaker 19: I don't think he's gonna throw a big stink either.
53:11
Speaker 19: I wouldn't think so about you know, being paid whatever
53:14
Speaker 19: he's being paid. Yeah, but that's just what I thought
53:17
Speaker 19: about that part of it. But you know, Randy called
53:19
Speaker 19: in and he kind of was saying that he wants
53:21
Speaker 19: to see the front office do things differently. And you know, sure,
53:27
Speaker 19: there's definitely some things that they can change. But this
53:30
Speaker 19: is a really unpopular opinion of mine, super unpopular. But
53:33
Speaker 19: I think their front office has done a pretty good
53:35
Speaker 19: job man over the past. Now, okay, we can take
53:38
Speaker 19: the last five years in the draft, because you were
53:39
Speaker 19: just talking about it and maybe not so much there.
53:44
Speaker 19: That's we're kind of feeling the effects of three or
53:47
Speaker 19: four or maybe even five kind of so so to
53:49
Speaker 19: bad drafts.
53:50
Speaker 14: In a row.
53:52
Speaker 19: But just overall, you know, every time the thirty year
53:54
Speaker 19: the thirty year mark, right, well, since the early two thousands,
53:57
Speaker 19: once Romo came on board and that whole thing started going,
53:59
Speaker 19: I mean, they've built some really good teams that had windows,
54:02
Speaker 19: just like the NFL is designed to have his windows
54:05
Speaker 19: that could have won it all, and for whatever reason,
54:08
Speaker 19: one way or another, it just didn't work out. And
54:11
Speaker 19: I don't think they have to change things drastically around here,
54:14
Speaker 19: but I do think, and as evidenced by what they
54:17
Speaker 19: did this season, I think they will be a little
54:20
Speaker 19: more urgent about free agency and kind of what they're
54:24
Speaker 19: doing there, or at least I hope they will be. Yeah,
54:26
Speaker 19: Jerry's kind of coming to the end. That might be
54:28
Speaker 19: Jerry's last quarterback, man, last franchise quarterback. A d grim
54:31
Speaker 19: about it, but realistically, that might be Jerry's last franchise quarterback.
54:35
Speaker 19: And you've got a three year window with that, so
54:37
Speaker 19: you know, I would hope that he realizes that and
54:39
Speaker 19: puts some work into this offseason with that in mind.
54:42
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Neial, Yeah, I hope so too. We'll
54:46
Speaker 1: see what we'll see. If they do make some change,
54:48
Speaker 1: I feel like it too. I feel like they are
54:49
Speaker 1: going to make a little bit more tweaks when it
54:52
Speaker 1: comes to what their strategy, what they've done to be fair,
54:55
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the defensive guys, Let's also remember
54:59
Speaker 1: that that this will be the fourth straight year with
55:03
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators. So I always throw overshown and they're
55:06
Speaker 1: Overshown was drafted in twenty twenty two, Is that right?
55:11
Speaker 1: Twenty three and he's had four he'll have four different coordinators.
55:17
Speaker 1: This will be his fourth year four coordinators. So developing
55:20
Speaker 1: these guys is not easy to do when you keep
55:21
Speaker 1: changing that coordinators and coaches and stuff like that. So
55:25
Speaker 1: it's hard to develop these players when the voices that
55:27
Speaker 1: they're here and changes a lot too. Last caller, we
55:29
Speaker 1: got to go to Rick and Webster, Massachusetts. Rick, what's up?
55:33
Speaker 16: Hey, Nick? How you doing good?
55:35
Speaker 1: How are you?
55:36
Speaker 4: I'm good?
55:37
Speaker 16: A little rainy schleady I see out here, but otherwise
55:41
Speaker 16: I'm good.
55:42
Speaker 1: Okay.
55:43
Speaker 16: As far as coaches go, I want somebody that look
55:48
Speaker 16: and presuma, that's adaptable and the change things don't work
55:52
Speaker 16: in the players where they work the best. And also
55:55
Speaker 16: nobody that has a previous coaching spirits you're in Dallas
56:02
Speaker 16: or friends of Families or whatever was something the new voice.
56:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about you. I'm with you. I'm with you
56:09
Speaker 1: on that. I like that. I mean, you know what,
56:11
Speaker 1: we don't need all that now. Somebody that's shot. He's
56:13
Speaker 1: been around twenty five years, so he's probably worked with
56:16
Speaker 1: someone knows someone you know, I mean cross paths. That's fine,
56:21
Speaker 1: but not Yeah, you're right. This can't be comfortable. This
56:24
Speaker 1: needs to be uncomfortable, and and I think that's kind
56:27
Speaker 1: of that's where we are here. Let's go to break
