  Speaker 1: The following.

  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette. I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: am Nick Eatman, and let's talk some Cowboys off season football.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Seems like there's always something happening, always something in the news,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: whether the Cowboys changing defensive coordinators and they're they're bringing
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in a lot of candidates, I think six at this
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: point in the in the week to interview for Brian
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer's staff and trying to replace Matt Eberflus, and the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: playoffs going on, and of course green Bay losing, Hell
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, whether or not you're a fan or not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of Green Bay or probably not the Eagles. So you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's been a pretty good good week for most Cowboy fans,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: depending on how you fan. But wanting a higher draft pick,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and that happened. Cowboys are going to pick twentieth. We
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: know that twelve and twenty in the first round, So
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a pair of top twenty picks, that's that's a good
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: start to the I mean, it won't be the start
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of the off season. They'll there'll be some free agents,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: but still it's one of the first big things of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: news that we'll find out. And not having a second
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and third round er as it stands right now, yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I do the most with that with that twelve and twenty.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But if they want to move those around and move
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: back a little bit and try to try to add
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: some picks, fine, but still for me personally, I'm staying
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in that first round with two picks if possible. All right,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let's get to the phone lines. Let's get it started.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Irene in Falls Church, Virginia, Irene, what's up?
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Hello? He good.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: So I didn't give a chance to answer a caller
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: who want to know how we fan. But today feels
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: like the perfect day because of what you're just talking about.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: I am a totally a hate watcher, and hate watch
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: went undefeated this weekend. Most important of course Packers for
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: you know, the rivalry, but also the draft position. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: you know we still hate them even without the draft position.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: So of course the Eagles going down with glorious and
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: then we got historical rivals with the Steelers. We got
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: even for you on the social media team. We got
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: the Chargers downfall, that was beautiful, and then next week,
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I guess we've got to get rid of forty nine
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: ers and the Texans doesn't feel as big of a
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: rivalry for me, but I know it is down there,
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: So I'll let everyone else talk about defensive Couriators just
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: celebrating rivalry.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Today by all right, see you. It's funny how you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: said that she just hates the Packers. Not the only one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Apparently the head coach of the Bears not too fond
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of them either. Hey, is it is what it is?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Shake hands, you know, shake hands with the head coach.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That's kind of my thing. But whatever, I mean, season's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: over for one, you know, and it's so such a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: unbelievable game, and it's a great rivalry.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the pettiness of the millisecond handshake there,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: but whatever, Hey, he's got his team in there and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they're they're in the final but final eight? Is that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was that where we are now? So uh, congrats to them.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But also yeah, that helped the Cowboys for sure, to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: get that to get that game and to get the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Cowboys get there. You know where they are at twenty
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and you know other rivalries just and they are they
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are and just a correct irene. She said, it's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: big deal down here, Houston. No, not here here, not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in Dallas. The Texans are not a big deal to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Cowboy fans. I mean they probably ranked twelfth or fifteenth
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: or so in rivalries now Houston. Yeah, that's that's a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: big deal. That's where the problem is. They have a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: big deal with the Cowboys. But no, it's not really
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a big deal here, all right. Brian in Kansas City,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what's up, Brian.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: Good afternoon, sir.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Good to hear from you.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Hey, thanks, man, I's got the warning shot that we
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: had an unusual show again. So yeah, you gotta love it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: You gotta love our community, man, the best, the the
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: you know, the question I had you already answered, so
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: I'm going to ask a different one. So it sounds
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: like you want to stay at twelve and twenty. I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: kind of hoping they might trade back a little bit
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: from twelve, like maybe ten spots and pick up a
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: you know, a late second or something. But let's go
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: to d C. Do you have a favorite candidate of
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: all the people you've heard connected to the Cowboys. Do
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: you have a favorite and I'll give mine. It's Brian
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Flores and I'll take it off air.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, thanks for the call. Now he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's been one at this point. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: don't think there's been an interview set there if If
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that's the case, I'm talking about the guys that they've
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: actually interviewed, and they interviewed a couple today here on Tuesday.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Leonard is Jim Leonard, I think is the one that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that probably intrigues me the most. But of the guys
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that they've interviewed, White Cotton would have to be. You know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it's it's easy to say, and I might have said
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: this last week. It's easy to say, well, you were
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on this staff. It's one of the worst staffs and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the worst defenses of all time. So you don't get
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a promotion for that, you know, you don't you don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: get to move up here. What did you do to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you didn't help things or whatever? You can easily say that,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, but I think you can also look at
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer and and what he did, and he was on
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the staff, but he was able to kind of you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's got the team in a better direction
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: than what it was record wise, not not not really,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but I based off of the circumstances and everything, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: think so, and so you know, he was on that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: staff too, so, but I Leonard would probably be the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: one for me now, Brian Flores, you know if that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: if that's a thing, I mean, yeah, that would be interesting.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I still think he's going to have a chance to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be a head coach though, So that's kind of that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: kind of where I stand there. But you know, I'd
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have specific questions on on the defense and and and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: blitz packages and things like that, and how are you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to generate pressure? Because we heard that that was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: an easy thing to do and it wasn't. So how
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: do you how do you get you know, pressure, especially
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: when you maybe you don't have elite pass rushers, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: how do you create that? Dial it up? All right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: J R?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And Avndale Arizona, what's up man today?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I'm good you I'm doing good, doing great outside of
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys on in the playoffs. But anyway, it was
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: a bummer weekn But the game last night I watched
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: That's what I want Dallas to have for a defense
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: in the part that how physical Detextans were. You could
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: see it in the player's face. For the Steelers, they
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: were just beat physically beat and obvitually the defense took
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the game over because offense couldn't do any defense won
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the game. And I my question to you would be
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the candidates were talking about which one of those candidates
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: gives us the best chance at building the defense over
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the next couple of years. That's gonna be physical and
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: just take the other team's you know, will to play
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: away because you saw it in Rogers face last night
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: and it was a beatdown. It was a beatdown, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: that's what I want for the Cowboys. Saw hanging up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Listen to what you think, but have a great day,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: go Cowboys.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks. You know, I appreciate the call, but you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I can't get over the fact that we're talking about
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: two really, really good pass rushers with with with Houston.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, from a duo standpoint, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you can say Parsons and Rashawn Gary, but you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Will Anderson and Danil Hunter or even better, I think
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: as a duo, you know, I think Mike would be
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the best over all of them. But I mean from
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a one to two punch, you could do a lot.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And I always think of Freeny and Mathis at the Colts.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You know, Mathis maybe wasn't the most premier pass rusher,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but he sure to get some help with the guy
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: on the other side. And I think when you have
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that kind of the pressure off the edge, then then
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you can make a lot of coordinators good. So you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: like like you said, I mean a tough, take the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: will type guy. I mean to me, it still starts
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with the players, but you want to put them in schemes.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And that's why I think Flores. You look at whom
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Minnesota has or doesn't have. You know, they have some
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: exotic schemes that they were blitzing and always, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: really making it tough on the quarterback and then doing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it with guys that aren't, you know, regularly going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. So I think that's that's a real
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: big key. Uh there, let's go to break here. When
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I come back. I do want to answer Brian in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Kansas City's question he was talking about the draft picks.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Want to clarify kind of my stance on that. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we'll go to break real quick on Cowboy storyline.

• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Right, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by j Lett's.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: In the first segment, Brian for Kansas City was asking
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: about He said, looks like you want to stay at
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: twelve and twenty. I want to stay in the first
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: round for sure, two first round picks in the first round,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not not looking to move twenty and and get you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a second and a third and a fifth and all that,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and now I want to keep my two fifth year
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: option type type picks. So I'm fine at twelve if
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you're like sitting there and there's four guys that you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: love and you're like, man, not to take not taking
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: any of these four guys, you know, and we're you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: when you're on the clock, and then someone calls and says, man,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: we'll give you fifteen and we'll give you a third.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You just move back a little bit. But we got
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to have this guy right here at twelve, and you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: move back and knowing that you're going to get the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: guys you want, you don't have to do too much.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Then I'm for that. I'm okay with that, but I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: don't desperately have to have a second and third round
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: pick until that they prove that they're going to do
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: some damage with these second third round picks. And they
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: really haven't. They haven't. These guys haven't been that much
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of a difference maker. There's a couple exceptions to the rule,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but for the most part, no, and where you know
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you go with the first round, that's where you're good
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: at and for the most part, and you know, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: would stay there if possible. All right, Mike in Birmingham, England, Mike,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: Hey? Nick? Good to speak to you, good to have
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: an extra show that seems like a victory for the people,
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: So thank you Derek for letting that happen. A couple
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: of quick things. First of all, a big, big, big
• 12:39
  Speaker 11: thank you Nick to you and Chris and the storyline community.
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: I've said it before, but over here everyone will talk
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: about soccer all day long. My dog will talk to
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: me about soccer. But I'm a bit thin on the
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: ground for people to talk cowboys too. So the show
• 12:52
  Speaker 11: and the community is a lifeline. So thank you for
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: talking us through another season and listening to our rants
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: and complaining. The other thing is we spoke earlier in
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: the season after the tie, which I know one thing
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: about getting to the end of the season. At least
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: you don't have to think about our record having that
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: one on the end of it anymore. But I've said
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: to you at the time that the precedents were that
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: nine to seven and one gets in, and so we
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: knew what we had to do, and then as the
• 13:23
  Speaker 11: NFC unfolded it looked like that was going to be unlikely.
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: Well guess what Green Bay got in at nine to
• 13:28
  Speaker 11: seven and one. So the lesson to take forward is
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: just take care of business against teams that you should
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: be beating. If we'd just beaten the Cardinals, and if
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: we've just beaten the Giants on the last day, then
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: we're nine seven and one and tied with the Packers
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: maybe in the playoffs. So we weren't a million miles away.
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: And I really think that we're close. If we get
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: the draft right, if we get through the agency right,
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: we are not far off, and if we get the
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: coaches right. So I'll leave that with you. Thanks again
• 14:00
  Speaker 11: for everything, and speak soon hopefully.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate that. Yeah, I mean I've always said this,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I've learned this over the years. If you're going to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: do that and you're going to say if you would
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: have won that game and would have won that game,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you know, then what your record would be. I think
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's only fair to to make sure and say, all
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right there. You know, there's always two or three games
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: where you're like, they should have won that game. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: why how the Cowboys lose that game?
• 14:32
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And Philly, you know, to start the year, was was
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a close one. I think Carolina was very close. Arizona
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you weren't really in the game, but you just felt
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like you you know, they weren't very good. You should
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: have been in the game. You know that the Giants
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: maybe at the end of course that game was kind
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of weird the way it played out. Maybe Minnesota too,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: But but you've got a handful of games too, Like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you could have easily lost to the Giants in Week two,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you could have lost to Green Bay, you know they Philly,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, I mean, Washington was close to So I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: think it was kind of even. In fact, it might
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more of the games that you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: could have lost that you didn't and then the ones
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that you didn't win that you could have. And so
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense, I just think it kind of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: evens itself out. Yes, the Cowboys are close to getting there,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: they're also close to being you know, maybe five eleven
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and one and picking eighth or ninth overall. So I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: guess what I'm trying to say is it can go
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: either way. And and like you said, Mike, you got
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to get this right, got to get this offseason right,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: because if you don't, you're not that far from being
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: even worse. Yeah, you're I mean, and we're all looking
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: forward and we're all thinking positive and all that. But
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: but you this is a tough league and so if
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you don't take care of business here and you don't
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: get these things done right, then then you could be
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: going the other way. So that that's how that's how
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: important I think this offseason in this draft is so
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Sergeant Sue and fort or Earth.
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: That ease everybody.
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: How you doing it pretty good? Hey, this isn't directly
• 16:05
  Speaker 14: Cowboys related, but it's a super star NFL coach that
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: actually just stepped down, Mike Tomlin. It was reported by
• 16:14
  Speaker 14: a couple of the Juggernauts around the league and then
• 16:16
  Speaker 14: retweeted by by no Ce. So I just wanted to
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: say that that way. You know, I don't know some people.
• 16:20
  Speaker 14: I doubt he said that he wanted to step down
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: and not you know, coach, but I think that, you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: when a big name like that is out there, some
• 16:27
  Speaker 14: people can play around with like what you know, what
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: if he came you know what I mean? So I
• 16:31
  Speaker 14: thought I saw that out there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 16:33
  Speaker 14: The question that I had real quick for you, though,
• 16:34
  Speaker 14: is Hunter Lipke is a guy who I've always felt
• 16:38
  Speaker 14: and I've said this before, that gives you an opportunity
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: for like roster manipulation. I think that obviously he's a fullback,
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: but I do think that from a little bit of
• 16:46
  Speaker 14: time that I saw him, I thought he could be
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: a pretty decent tight end. And I think that that's
• 16:51
  Speaker 14: something that you know, since we're in off season mode,
• 16:53
  Speaker 14: that you can kind of play with that kind of
• 16:54
  Speaker 14: helps open up a roster spot, you know, I mean,
• 16:56
  Speaker 14: what do you think about that? And that's all I
• 16:58
  Speaker 14: really have to have?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Good day thanks I mean, you know, that's the reason
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: why I call him Thanksgiving, because he's always got he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: got a full plate. He's got they just keep adding
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: stuff to his plate and he and he you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's never enough, and you know he can do
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it a little bit of everything. He Roster manipulation is
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a good way of saying it. I mean, he's a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Swiss army knife for whatever you want to however you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: want to call it. But you get in a game
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and Heaven forbid you you lose two tight ends to injury. Well,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: hunterd Lipkey can can help you finish the game. Or
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: if you lost some running backs, Lipke can help you
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: finish the game. He's gonna help you on special teams.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You know he's going to be a fullback too. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: mean that that's what he is. He can be a fullback.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: He cann be a good third down back. He can
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: he can block for dak uh. You know, in pass
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: protection he can. He can run it on fourth and one. H.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I know he got stopped. That was a It was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a great play and one and in one of those games, Uh, Chargers,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, they just made a great play.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: But that didn't happen a lot last year. A guy's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: getting stopped for for no for no gain or losses.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: But but he can do so many things that that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: having him on the roster is almost like having multiple guys.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And that's that's why they signed him in the offseason,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and they really wanted to make sure that he stuck
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: around because he's got a good role and maybe it
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: just continues to expand as as his game evolves and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: as he kind of gets a little better understanding of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the offense and as they get a better understanding of him.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's go back to the phone.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Lines are open as a stand right now. Eight eight
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: A eight, five five two two nine seven is the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: number to call let's let's let's continue here before we
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: go to break here, I do, I do want to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: kind of talk about kind of you know, what we've
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: got ahead of us here, uh and what's going to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: happen free agency obviously, you know, you guys know this
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: goes first. It's goes I think it's March eleventh is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: first day of free agency, and some of the big
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: things are going to happen before that. It's weird how
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it kind of flips back and forth. It's free agency's first,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: but draft and the prep for draft is even before that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have the Senior Bowl here before
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: too long. East West Shrining Game happens here in in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in Frisco. Uh So you'll get to see some players
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that sounds like they've stepped up some some guys there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: As far as who's gonna be at the at the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Shrine Bowls. Still, the Senior Bowls is a little bit bigger,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: not always, not always a ton of first round picks there.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of a second and third, fourth rounders.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what that is, you know what that
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is for the Cowboys. But but there'll be some guys
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that that will be there. That are that will be
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you know, potential late first rounders, which will be right
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: there in the Cowboys wheelhouse. Uh, that's at the Senior Bowl.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And then and then the Combine is at the end
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of February. Of course, all the big names will be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: there and we'll have some great coverage. Uh it's you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: know for you as well. Shot Schottenheimer will be there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He'll get a chance to talk to the media probably
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the first time he talks since when whatever he says
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. And the same for Jerry. So
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: those are always good moments to kind of follow them
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and see, you know, where things stand in the off
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: season mode for the Cowboys as we get really closer
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to free agency. And I don't know, maybe it's maybe
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it's not right, but I just have this feel and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys might be doing a little bit more in
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: free agency than what we've seen in the past. All right,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be
• 20:19

  Speaker 2: To Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave of
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: We got a chance here to talk for about twenty
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to thirty minutes. This is no longer taping the TV
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: show at this moment, so we had to get those
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: segments out of the way. It's the last last show
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to do this year, so we'll be back
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: at our normal schedules tomorrow tomorrow at nine to thirty
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Central time, and it will go to about ten fifty
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: or so, so we get a little bit extra than
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we normally do, thirty more minutes or so, and we'll
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be able to you know, get after it and talk more.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But we still got you know, about twenty thirty minutes
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: here today. We can we can talk. So I kind
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: an interesting question here. This is this is this is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I thinking outside the box a little bit, but it's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: it's something that you should do and the Cowboys should
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: be doing. Kyle from Sarasota, Florida. He had a text
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: line question. He said, would you consider trading your late
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: first round pick this year for a second this year
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and a first next year? Very heavy quarterback draft in
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. You know your first thought is, let's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you know, this is Dak's window, and let's let's try
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to give him everything you can. And that's what you did.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You traded Micah so you could have these first round
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: picks and you've already traded one of one of the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: picks away, you know, for next year with for Quinn Williams,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and so you want to be able to kind of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: take advantage of it here at some point. So my
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: first thought is, no, I don't think I would do that,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: but it's it's not a bad thought. I think the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: main reason why I wouldn't is because you don't have
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a lot in your second and your third you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I anything sorry, second and third this year. So if
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you if you're going to do that now, you would
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you would trade and you like like this scenario says
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: has a get the second rounder, but those aren't really guarantees.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Nothing's a guarantee. But I just kind of think, you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: let's see what they do in free agency, because if
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they kind of go for a little bit of some
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: splashy moves here and and and and they re signed
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: pickings and and maybe they they add a few more
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: pieces to the to the puzzle, then I probably would
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: stand in there and and and get two picks and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and and try to help this team right now, because
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: because those are the players that are going to probably
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: help you. I mean, Tyler Booker helped you this year.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really good player, and I think
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I think you have a shot to have, you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: difference makers right off the bat when you when you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: get them here. So as much as as I think
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that that's a very intriguing question and probably something that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: they're thinking about, I don't know if I would I
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: would necessarily do that, but it's sure it certainly wouldn't
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: be off the table because I know Jerry thinks that way.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Jerry always. I've heard Jerry say this before. Don't turn
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: in the card. They'll be sitting there and they're like,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: we're taking this guy. We're gonna take him whoever, whoever
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it is, Leyton van Derresh, we're taking him or you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I said his name, but I'm
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: just trying to think of a mid round, you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: first round, probably Zach Martin or anybody. Don't turn in
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the card just yet. Jerry has said that, because you
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: never know if somebody calls you and and tries to
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: offer you next year's one, And so next year's one
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is a valuable pick that that teams, especially the Cowboys,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: really cove it. So they would entertain that and it
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be for a quarterback, just be for
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you know, because because one thing we're finding out. If
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you're in a draft and say you you've got a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: good young quarterback and you're not gonna take one, you
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: want there to be a ton of quarterbacks. You know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears and they have, you know, and the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Patriots that they've got young quarterbacks. They want next year's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: draft to be filled with quarterbacks because the more quarterbacks
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that go, more of the other players fall down to them.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Same with the Cowboys here. I mean, you want three
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: or four guys. You want someone to just light up
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: his pro dade jump into that top ten, so that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: just drops another player right in your lap. All right, Michael,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and Bowling Green is next. Michael, what's up?
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 25:37
  Speaker 16: Hey?
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: What's going on?
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 25:40
  Speaker 17: Pretty good?
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: I was on the I was on text, and then
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: I saw that the somebody told me we were having
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: the show. So I got home.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: That that idea about the trading, I mean, that doesn't
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: sound bad, but I've heard in some some mock I
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: was talking about the Cowboys dropping back to twenty five
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: with their twentieth pick and then picking up maybe a
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: third and probably still getting the same type of player.
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: What what would you think would you be opposed to that?
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't be opposed to it. I mean, you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: know yet to remember, nobody, nobody knows their board better
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: than the Cowboys, better than their team, and so they're
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be They're gonna have things that are really surprising
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to them. And if they're sitting there with some first
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: round grades that that you know, maybe more than two
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: or three, and then they have a chance to move
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: back and then you know, get another pick. It's not
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: like I hate the third round or the second round.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't. I don't like as much
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: as the first round. So I would definitely not. I mean,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it have to be the right decision and the right
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: feeling there, and you have to wait until you get
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: on the board. Because it happened a few years ago.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys, you know that they liked what they saw,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: they liked how the board was falling to them. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: think Graham Barton was a guy that they liked at center.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, they saw Tyler Geydon and then value
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to slide down and pick up a third, which they
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: ended up getting Cooper Bebe and I bet you they
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: would probably say that, you know that they still like
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: that move of BB and and Gydon. Guyton still needs
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to develop more, but as does BB. But you know
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it's probably the two for one is probably better. So
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: if it works that way. But you know, if you're
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: sitting there, let's just say this. And I know we
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: always bring that this this scenario, but it's it's worth
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: mentioning if in twenty twenty, if the Cowboys had the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: same situation and all of a sudden the phone's ringing
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, we really man, we really want
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: your pick, and you slide down here to twenty five,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys are I think of seventeen
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and they're like, you slide down four or
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: five six spots and we'll give you a third. Like okay,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: it sounds good. Well let's wait and see who's here.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Because there's this receiver from Oklahoma named Ceedee Lamb that
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: keeps dropping, and if he drops, we don't even want
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a receiver, but we might have to take it, take
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: this guy, and so we're gonna stand in here and pick.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I bet you there were teams that were on the
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: phone that were like, we got to go get Ceedee Lamb.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And the Cowboys were like, yeah, you do, but too
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: bad you didn't, because now we've got him. Then that's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys still think about that and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: still think about, well, don't pigeonhole us into taking defense
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: just yet, because if a can't miss offensive players here,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: then it would make too much sense for us not
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to do that. So all right, Dylan in Northport, Florida,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: Hey man, how's it gone?
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: Good?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: I'm good?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you guys for joining the space.
• 28:42
  Speaker 18: Right, that was a blast after you guys on there.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: That was so cool.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a good time. That was what Thursday.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: You'll do this every Thursday night, right.
• 28:49
  Speaker 18: Yeah, Thursday nights at eight eastern so seven seven year time.
• 28:53
  Speaker 18: Go for a few hours and every now and then
• 28:55
  Speaker 18: we get you and some other guests on there.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Head Tommy Tommy Ursh was in there on some draft
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: knowledge around and Chris Beam got in there, Yeah, got
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: in there and turned his mic on and everything, and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 29:09
  Speaker 18: It was good a place for fortnite.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah then yeah, I'll tell you what, man, it's not
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: an easy thing what you do, like you're you're the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I mean you're like the host, but the moderator, right,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: my lord, Yeah, I don't know, how do you? I
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: mean like everyone's got their hand raised, everyone's trying to talk.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: You're trying to corral Rob from Vegas tell him to
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: calm down.
• 29:33
  Speaker 18: Like, man, you know it's funny. I listened back to
• 29:36
  Speaker 18: it and I'm like, damn, I my MIC's really low, Dude,
• 29:39
  Speaker 18: I have a really nice I used to say, Mike,
• 29:40
  Speaker 18: do you guys having the studio? But my setup is
• 29:42
  Speaker 18: a little different, and my mic is the volume is
• 29:44
  Speaker 18: so what I figure out the problem. I just spent
• 29:46
  Speaker 18: two hundred and fifty bucks on a new unit to
• 29:48
  Speaker 18: make it louder, specifically for the spaces, so I can
• 29:52
  Speaker 18: be louder than everybody else.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can send a bill, are you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 18: Oh, we'll see keep an eye on them now.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:00
  Speaker 18: But before you guys got on though the space, we
• 30:05
  Speaker 18: had a kind of an interesting discussion and me and
• 30:07
  Speaker 18: Rob kind of got a little passionate, which we're known
• 30:10
  Speaker 18: to do. And uh, we had a discussion about trading
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: your picks away for a specific player. We'll say it's
• 30:18
  Speaker 18: a really high end edge. I'm sure you know who
• 30:19
  Speaker 18: it is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, somebody with max potential potential.
• 30:26
  Speaker 18: Maximum potential two x's, and it would be picked twelve
• 30:31
  Speaker 18: and OSA or yours one or the other.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: And Rob was in the neighbor of that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 18: And I can kind of swallow the pick and an Osa,
• 30:42
  Speaker 18: but it's really hard to justify the two picks because
• 30:45
  Speaker 18: he's not picking at all until the third day.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: At that point, that stuff.
• 30:48
  Speaker 18: And I'd hate to be in a spot in the
• 30:51
  Speaker 18: giraft where I don't know if you know the names
• 30:53
  Speaker 18: like Caleb Downs, Johnny Styles, d J.
• 30:57
  Speaker 13: Allen.
• 30:57
  Speaker 18: I'd hate to be in.
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: A spot where you could have gotten somebody.
• 31:00
  Speaker 18: Like Caleb Downs and and c J. Allen for your
• 31:04
  Speaker 18: first two sixs. Okay, that that transforms obviously your whole defense,
• 31:07
  Speaker 18: not just for the next couple of.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Years before let's foreseeable.
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: Future more production.
• 31:14
  Speaker 18: I just wanted to get kind of your thoughts on
• 31:16
  Speaker 18: trading out and getting maybe rid of both of your
• 31:19
  Speaker 18: picks for that one really really really good player who
• 31:21
  Speaker 18: really doesn't make a difference, or you know, kind of
• 31:24
  Speaker 18: sticking around or you know, trading the pickandos or sticking
• 31:27
  Speaker 18: around and hoping the draft balls your way.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Just want to yeah, well, I have to all right, man,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Dylan. As always, you know, kind
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: of thinking the next level stuff. You know, at some point,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you know, to to make it work with the salary cap,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to to win. You have
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to get talent that that's not you know, killing your cap.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And so uh you do that by drafting well and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and and those guys are difference makers early on, and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: they're cheap and and so you know, she just keep
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: trading picks all the time for contracts because that's what
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you're doing. You're you're trading for contract Yeah, you're trading
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: for talent, but you're also trading contracts. And and you know,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I think you can There's some that are gonna argue
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and say, well I don't really care about the you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: let's just go win this year and all that, but
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: but it it can crucify your team and your future
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and you've got to you know, you're obligated to make
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: sure that you you know, you can feel the team
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you know the next few years as well. So you
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: have to be smart about that. I don't know if
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if I'm okay with two picks for for one, because
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: that's basically what a franchise player is. So I mean,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: are you getting that? I mean, are you I mean
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: it's not the pass rusher with the with the Raiders.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a it's a different pass rusher
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: or a different skill player. It's one that's that's under
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the age of thirty and and and also made three
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: or four Pro Bowl I mean, it's it's a that's
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a different guy. Two picks for for one guy or
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is. I'm okay with with entertaining the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: trade offer. But you know, with two picks in the
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: first round, I think I'm leaning towards you know, standing
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: in there and making you know, two good picks, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: because you need so much, there's you can still get
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: good value. You know, you you can get value at
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: at linebacker at twenty. You know you're gonna get one
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: of the better ones or safety. You know, maybe you
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: saw it with Booker, you got the best guard, I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: mean twelve and maybe was that a sexy pick? Who cares?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: It's a really good pick at at twelve. So I
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of options, and free agency is going
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to tell you kind of what happens. But I still
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: think that I'm Okay, maybe with a big with one
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: big trade, but I definitely got to make one of
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: those two picks this year, if not both of them.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris, Saratoga Springs, New York, Chris, what's up
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: that much?
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 33:55
  Speaker 16: Been a men a minute since I talked New Year?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks you too.
• 34:00
  Speaker 16: I'm real excited about all this draft talk is this
• 34:02
  Speaker 16: is my favorite time of year, so I'm pretty excited
• 34:05
  Speaker 16: about that. I would like to stand pat with both
• 34:08
  Speaker 16: of those picks. If I was able to move one
• 34:11
  Speaker 16: of them, maybe, like you said a little bit earlier,
• 34:13
  Speaker 16: moved back a couple spots and we get the same guy.
• 34:15
  Speaker 16: I wouldn't be opposed to that. I wouldn't mind that
• 34:17
  Speaker 16: at all. But we need so much help on defense
• 34:21
  Speaker 16: that I think, and we do very well for the
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: most part with our first round pick, so I think
• 34:25
  Speaker 16: we should definitely stay pat and keep those two number ones.
• 34:30
  Speaker 16: As far as the defensive coordinator, have you heard anything
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: about bringing in Floes or do you think Flores is
• 34:36
  Speaker 16: looking more for a head coaching opportunity.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I would think he's definitely looking at head
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: coaching opportunities. His name has been linked here a lot,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: but you know, That's not uncommon for anybody, any player,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: any coach, anything that's open. It always seems to be
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: linked to the Cowboys. First. Yeah, so that's normal. But
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier in the show, you know, if
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: it worked out, I would I would be fine with that.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I just thought he really did a nice job with
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: with you know. And I'm not saying they don't have
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: any players, but it just doesn't seem like, you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we're talking about a bunch of all pros or anything
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean, and I think it's more of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: a scheme thing. So you got you got talented guys here,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: not a ton, but you've got some that you can
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: build around, and you get a good scheme with the
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: group that's here, then I think this team could win,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: especially when you add it to the fact that that
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: they've got Pro Bowl players on special teams, and then
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: they've got a really, really good offense. So we've said
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: it all very long. We don't we don't need to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: see an awesome defense. If you just had an average defense,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: this team would have been in the playoffs. And so
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that's and I'm not saying that's the goal, but I'm saying,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: when you have you know, you do have one really
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: really good part of your game and another that that's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: pretty good too in special teams. Then then you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: get there, you know, at least at least get mediocre
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: at defense. Just get off the field every now and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: get a turnover. You know, they had six interceptions last
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: year that that's the tide for the worst in Enfranchise history.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Six.
• 36:07
  Speaker 16: So yeah, you know, you know, we maybe maybe maybe
• 36:10
  Speaker 16: somebody like a Darren Woodson in the back. So I
• 36:14
  Speaker 16: just want to throw that out there. All the thoughts
• 36:15
  Speaker 16: and prayers go out to him hopefully making the Hall
• 36:18
  Speaker 16: of Fame this year, but we could use somebody like
• 36:20
  Speaker 16: him in that in that back end of our defense.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Yeah. Yeah, are you saying the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: player to coach?
• 36:26
  Speaker 16: Oh No, I mean we need both. Really, I love
• 36:29
  Speaker 16: him to be a coach, but we need somebody like
• 36:31
  Speaker 16: him in that back end. I mean we're really hurting
• 36:33
  Speaker 16: on that back end. Yeah, he was one of the
• 36:35
  Speaker 16: best we've ever had. And again, I just hope and
• 36:40
  Speaker 16: pray he makes it this year. It'd be great to
• 36:43
  Speaker 16: him to go in with witting at the same time,
• 36:45
  Speaker 16: and I'm really I'm pulling for him. Nobody deserves it more.
• 36:49
  Speaker 16: Class act through and through, I mean, leading Tacker and
• 36:53
  Speaker 16: the Cowboys, everybody. Three super Bowl wins, I mean, the
• 36:55
  Speaker 16: accolades are off the chart to what he has done.
• 36:59
  Speaker 16: And I just I really hope this year is the
• 37:00
  Speaker 16: year for him.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Me too, Chris. I mean, I'm I
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't echo that enough. Thanks for thanks for the call,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and you're right about that, you know, just uh just
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: unbelievable and and you know, top of the line, phenomenal,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: everything you could think of to describe him. And then
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: we can talk about him as a football player. And
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: those two, to me, they do go hand in hand.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying every guy in the Hall of Fame's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: boy scout, but Darren Woodson's not just that he was.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: He is deserving because he was a badass football player.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But when you add both of those things together, I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: need to save all this all what I'm trying to say,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna hear it again because I think he's
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: getting in.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's getting in this year, and man, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: hope I'm front row seat to be there. Nobody, like
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you said, and nobody deserves it more. I can't wait
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: for that moment, and if if Witting's in there too,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: if if I'm not a betting man or anything like that,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: but if I, if I had to, yeah, I would
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: say it's going to be Witting this year. I'm sorry
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Woodson this year. Witting maybe next year, but I'll take
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: them both. Let's be greedy. Let's go to Canton, right, Chris,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: go to Canton. Let's get a couple more callers in.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Let's go Travis. He's in Michigan, usually San Antonio, but Travis,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Mary?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And traveling?
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: What's going on? Yeah, I still visiting a family from
• 38:32
  Speaker 13: when I called you driving up last time, so I'm
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: able to work from home. So I'm just kind of
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: do an extended to day. But cool, shout out to
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: last colors. I'm shoutut to Woody. Hopefully he does get
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: in way you know, way too long to have not
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: been in. Super deserving obviously, like everything you just said,
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: that'll be awesome. Like I said, hopefully we get that. Well,
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: I know you said it's going he will probably get
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: that ideame as he does.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: But so that's cool.
• 38:57
  Speaker 13: And then I also wanted to add some context. I
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: heard Dylan's call and I also show out to Irene
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: because she sent a text out. I've been kind of
• 39:03
  Speaker 13: letting some lot of people get into which I know
• 39:05
  Speaker 13: you like, so we can expand some callers. But she's
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: sent a text out saying, hey, the lines are open.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, was awesome. I mean,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: she she's the mother of the show. I mean she
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: really does, you know. I know she's sent out text like, hey,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: different schedule and all that stuff. He just keeps everybody
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: in line. You got to have an organized person like that,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I'm a lot of things organized usually
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is in one of them. Uh, but you got to
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: have someone that is, you know. And I bet you
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: if there was like a trip, well there was a trip.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: There was a trip out out to California. I bet
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you she planned the whole damn thing. So her and
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and Dylan both. I bet you guys like Robber just
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: tell me where to go and when to be there.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: But you got to have people like that, and Irene's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Irene is definitely that, yep.
• 39:45
  Speaker 13: And then also like, yeah, the same thing that Dylan
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: said before I get my point, shout you guys for
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: jumping on the call with us.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: It was cool.
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: And then also I was really surprised to foot jumping
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: on there who does a lot of draft stuff and
• 39:57
  Speaker 13: follow them. Like I said, everyone was your show.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Obviously that I was.
• 40:00
  Speaker 13: Trying to spread the love and if you guys want
• 40:02
  Speaker 13: to really get show the file with the kind of
• 40:03
  Speaker 13: boys collective on there, So check that out. But on
• 40:06
  Speaker 13: Dylan's point, I know we're talking about in the spaces
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: and think about trying to maybe like have like a topic.
• 40:11
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna pivot and talk about why I am actually
• 40:14
  Speaker 13: kind of in favor of twelve and let's say an
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: Osa for like I'm not gonna say the name, but
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: for that player, just because the way we're flussing this
• 40:25
  Speaker 13: idea out right, which is where I always do, I
• 40:27
  Speaker 13: try to think of it not just in the snap.
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: Let's just do it supposedly and maybe you can confirm this.
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: But I know it sounded like Osa. There was kind
• 40:35
  Speaker 13: of a lot of people. I was more on not
• 40:37
  Speaker 13: giving him the contract. Nothing against him, it's just I
• 40:40
  Speaker 13: just wanted to go in a different direction personally, just
• 40:42
  Speaker 13: because of the run defense that we're having issues with
• 40:45
  Speaker 13: that's not necessarily his best bag, and it sounded like
• 40:48
  Speaker 13: he was kind of out the door until Eberfood's kind
• 40:50
  Speaker 13: of pushed to get him signed. So I think for
• 40:52
  Speaker 13: the Raiders part of sorry for their part of it,
• 40:55
  Speaker 13: it kind of makes sense that they get an above
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: average defensive tackle to replace Christian Wilcomes, who they lost
• 41:01
  Speaker 13: last year from weird circumstances. They also get the twelve pick,
• 41:06
  Speaker 13: and I would not give up two first Nick definitely
• 41:09
  Speaker 13: not on board with that, but I think twelve and
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: OSA for a team that's really kind of rebuilding, might.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Get it done.
• 41:16
  Speaker 13: And honestly, Nick, the only player that I would be
• 41:19
  Speaker 13: if I'm saying buyers and morse from it, that I
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: would be disappointed if he was there at twelve would
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: be Caleb. But if you talk to most people, we
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: really don't think he's The chances are he's not going
• 41:29
  Speaker 13: to be there. And then lastly, I want to see
• 41:31
  Speaker 13: you think the draft is the reason I'm in favorite,
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: Nick is the draft is all about mitigating risk. Right
• 41:37
  Speaker 13: with those two first round picks. I think we would
• 41:39
  Speaker 13: all agree if they stand and pick those two picks, right,
• 41:42
  Speaker 13: they cannot miss. They have to be players for this defense, right,
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: So when I think about mitigating risk, I'm like the
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: reason I'm in favor of twelve and Osa just as
• 41:50
  Speaker 13: a hypothetical is what's a better way to mitigate any
• 41:54
  Speaker 13: kind of risk and help a unit that you've been championing,
• 41:57
  Speaker 13: is like, we have to fix that front. I mean,
• 42:00
  Speaker 13: it would be him, right, because I know what he is,
• 42:03
  Speaker 13: I know what he can do. So that's the only reason,
• 42:06
  Speaker 13: like I'm on favorite that I just want to see
• 42:07
  Speaker 13: what you think about it. But like I said, it's
• 42:09
  Speaker 13: it's about mitigating risk for me. Oh and then lastly,
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: if you're TRADEOSA right, you have guys you couldn't get
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: on the field last year in Perry and Lnfrey behind
• 42:18
  Speaker 13: him and Solomon, so I think they would be okay
• 42:20
  Speaker 13: from a death perspective. So I just want to see
• 42:22
  Speaker 13: what you're thinking.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I have to I haven't looked that
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: closely into that scenario and to see. You know, usually
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: when you sign a guy to a contract like that,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to get out of it. And
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what that number is, but that
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: ain't going to be friendly to your cap to get
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: rid of a player after one year with a lot
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: of guarantees. And I'm sure he didn't count as much.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure he didn't count twenty million a
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: year last year or so that I'd have to look
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: at that. I mean, so if you go to those
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: websites a spowtrack and overthecap dot com and things like that,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: type in Osa's name and see what the dead money
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: looks like and what what happens if you if you
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: release him or it's and it wouldn't be June one,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: it would be because it'd be a trade and so
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you if you traded him, all that money comes to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the front. So you know, be careful with with what
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that looks like because that's going to you know, eat
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: up a lot of your cap room too. But as
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: far as you know, if it does work out money wise,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I understand that that's a position of of depth, and
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: so it's easy to say that I that just seems
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: a little rich. A twelfth pick and and and a
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: good young player at defensive tackle for for a pass rusher,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: you know, an aging pass rusher. That's that's having surgery.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you have to I
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if it has to be twelve. I mean,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I mean a player and twelve
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: seems seems a little rich to me, uh, to to
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: do that. I don't know if I would I would
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: go that route, honestly. And I understand you were saying
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: about the risk, But you know, Alvin Harper was a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good player, especially for what they had. Michael Parsons
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: was a really good player, and I think Tyler Brooker
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: is going to be a really good player too. So
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: standing there at twelve and and and and getting get
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: a really good player because I think, I think that's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: probably your best thing. Then after that, see see what
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: people are looking to do, uh, in the next eight
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: picks or so, that's the one I think if you're
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: going to move, I think maybe I would do that one.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go. Uh. I'm a in Napa, California.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's it going?
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Happy New Year?
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Are you?
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: How? You ben?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: You?
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I'm great, man, I'm great. You know, the season's changing
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: here in Napa, starting to trim back the vines and everything,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: so you know it's time for changes and the draft
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: coming up. So it's like all all the things fall
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: in line, and so I just kind of like correlate
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: everything the season and the seasons with football. Man. I
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: was I was just listening to the show, and you know,
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I've kind of just been listening and not really calling
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: in or anything, you know, just kind of getting e
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: gauge on everybody's feelings and stuff. And then I for
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: sure wanted to let the season kind of finish before
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I really jumped into like what we do in the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: off season, who stays, who doesn't, all of that stuff.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: But it's a little surprising, a little alarming that, you know,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: there's so much desire to want to trade the picks,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: and I feel like, you know, Jerry Steven they were
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: pretty clear in their press conference last week that it's
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: like just gives them so much more flexibility to you know,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: resigned players in the you know, you know, for cap
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: space and stuff like that. Like you know, just kind
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: of relieving that big move of moving Micah, you know,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: just kind of gave us this relief and this you know,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: opportunity to do different things. And I say, explore those things. Man.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: You know, Jerry's a big swinger, you know, whether he
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: misses or hits, he's a big swinger, man. And you know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: I'm down for it and not I say, we just
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: stick with, you know, with what we did you know,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: and see it out like those have to be picks,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: has to be a linebacker, has maybe not has to
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: be a safety. But I feel like linebacker and safety
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: are our biggest needs. Definitely a pass rusher too, But
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to find somebody at twelve.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe somebody drops, like you said, if some more quarterbacks
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: get get into the mix, but downs styles love to
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: have both of them. Take one of them, you know, again,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: just retain some of our own talent. You know. I
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: really feel like I know you hear what you're saying
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: as far as like the offense and stuff. If there's
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: a player that you can't pass, and yeah, you obviously
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: take them offensively, but man, it just feels like we're
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: in such a good place offensively, and like you've been
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: saying all season, how I've been thinking all season, we
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: just need a few stops here and there. We get
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: a couple of stops in a three different games. We
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: win those games. You know, we win in Carolina, you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: we win in Chicago, like you know, and that makes it,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: that makes a difference, you know. And man, I'm out
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: here in the Bay Area and I'm watching this depleted
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: forty nine ers team. And I'm not trying to get
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: on their bandwig because I hate them, but you know,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: it's interesting to just see how they piece together their
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: defense and they're and they just get a stop here
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: and there, and they're able to win games. And it's
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: what they did against Philly, like Philly kind of game
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: that game, but it's what they did. And I just
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: feel like how you've been saying, man, we just we
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: need a couple of players to make a few plays
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: on defense, which will change the outcome of the game.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Because our offense is so good. But if we start
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: messing with our offense, you know, like we should build
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: on where we're at Scheimer. This is this first year.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Let's build on what we did offensively, and let's get
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: some pieces in defensively and we'll get this thing going.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: All right, I mean I'll be calling. I'll be calling
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: all off season to talk more about right. Well, thank
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: you for going to kick with our pigs. Linebacker, linebacker, nick,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: I know you know it, all right, that's a good one,
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I you know you say linebacker safety that
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: that's probably a third and fourth on my list of
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: defensive guys. I mean, I think corner and and and
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: pass rusher. But I'm all about value. I've been about value.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: And I think you have a chance to get the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: better the best safety maybe or the best linebacker. Uh
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: and so you you know you're gonna have first round
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: grades and and and I think that that would be
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the biggest win in the whole draft would be if
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys stick to their board and have first round grades.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: If they get two guys legitimately that are on their
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: board with first round grades, that will be a win.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And I say legitimately just been known to change a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: few things here and there and say, oh, yeah, he
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: would we had a first round grade on him or whatever.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: If they get two guys from their first round grades
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: at twelve and twenty, that would be amazing. You usually
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: only have about fifteen, sixteen, maybe seventeen first round grades,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and so you know, if that's the case, you might
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: get them both, you know, if you pick at twelve
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: or twenty. But you know, something that I may say
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: about you know, I've been saying this about getting stops.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Just just think about this. Think about when they you know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: kick off, other team gets the ball twenty five yard
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: like thirty five year line whatever. And you know, they
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: get a few, they get a few first downs, and
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: then they get to midfield and they're punting, okay, and
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you finally get them off the field even at that,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: which would be a win. But what Turpin standing in
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: his fifteen yard line, ten line probably and he's gonna
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: fair catch it maybe twice, maybe a real fair catch
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: or maybe a fake fair catch or whatever, or ball's
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: gonna bounce over his head or whatever it is, but
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna probably get a return. You get a
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: stop back at you know, instead of a couple first downs,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: get a stop back there at you know, at the
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: other thirty yard line. Now Turpin standing at his twenty
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: five and he's probably gonna return it, and so now
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: he's got some room to run and all that. Think
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: about how different that is. We're just talking about one stop,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: one third down conversion here, but it changed the fact
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that Turpin now gets to be a weapon. Now you
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: got to make a decision. We really want to OutKick
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: the coverage and kick it to him and let him
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: run free and do all his things, or do we
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: just want to you know, pooch it up and let
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: him do a fair catch and we'll get it at
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: the thirty five forty yard line. Whatever. But that's the
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: difference between one first down and getting to midfield and punting.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: And believe me, there's games when they get to midfield
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: and punt. That was a win, you know. So that
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: didn't happen a lot either. But I'm just saying, you
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: get more stops on that side of the field and
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: hunt to your weapons and get your offense in good
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: shape and do things like that, then you know, now
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: you can kind of play downhill a little bit. All right,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: let's go to Ali Ali. What's up man? Where are you?
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Happy New Year? Buddy?
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: You too?
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: Irene is the best because I just got a text
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: from her and she give me your heads up that
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: the podcast was on. Right now, I am currently in
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: northwestern Norway. Take a group of people been photographed in
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: the northern lights. Oh my god, right now in front
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: of me. I'm gonna text you a picture to Chris
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: and take a look at it. The sky is all
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: neon green and is a breathtaking It's a little island
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: called Lost and l O t O f e n
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Lost an island. But the best news is I'm making fast,
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: because I know probably if you get disconnected. I heard
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Green Bay lost the way they lost. I loved that.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: That's the best Christmas present. And then I heard Ego
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: loss that second Christmas present. And now I'm happy for
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: the draft. I don't need any more pleasure for this year.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: I want to reash you and Chris best of the best, brother,
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: And I'm so happy you have your podcast and I've
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: been trying to be there, make a cilly phone calls
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: from everywhere. I wish I could take all of you
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: and all the podcast storyliners here and you can see
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: these beautiful things God created.
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: And I love you and I miss you.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I love you too.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, there's gotta be some irony there, right. I mean,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: he's he's he's looking at the northern lights in in
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Norway and the sky is green, and he said, the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: best thing that happened was the Packers and the Eagles lost,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and there's some green that I guess went up and smoked.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how to use that analogy.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: But what an awesome what an awesome view. I've only seen,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: you know, photos of that in the northern lights. I
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: can't even imagine what that would look like. But I
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: know this that there's somebody that's good. You know they
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: got the right person there to take the photos, because
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: nobody takes better photos than than Ali and and man,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I bet you he's gonna have some some really good
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: ones there. All right, let's go to Sebastian and Savannah Georgia. Sebastian,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: what's up.
• 53:52
  Speaker 16: Man, Good morning receiving.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: How you doing good? How are you?
• 53:56
  Speaker 17: I'm doing just fine. Everything's low motion, so listen here,
• 53:59
  Speaker 17: miss Emans. We get right twos and then you guys
• 54:00
  Speaker 17: are closing out shortly. The football season's over. Whatever we're
• 54:04
  Speaker 17: about to do with this defensive coordinator, I just want
• 54:06
  Speaker 17: to get them in the building because for the next
• 54:08
  Speaker 17: sixty days, because in one hundred days in the draft,
• 54:10
  Speaker 17: for sixty of those days, I want them diving into
• 54:13
  Speaker 17: the old tapes of Doran Bland Caleb Carson in our
• 54:16
  Speaker 17: cornerback situation, so that we can know exactly what he
• 54:19
  Speaker 17: needs for his defense going forward. And I want to
• 54:21
  Speaker 17: build a much better defense as far as the draft goes.
• 54:25
  Speaker 17: With the first pick, number twelve, you can pretty much
• 54:27
  Speaker 17: talk me into any type of player except for alignment.
• 54:30
  Speaker 17: I want to see alignment as well. For offense, I
• 54:34
  Speaker 17: should say offensive lineman. As far as twenty goes, you
• 54:36
  Speaker 17: can do whatever you want to do with the twentieth thick.
• 54:38
  Speaker 17: It's a really great place to get a.
• 54:39
  Speaker 16: Wide receiver though.
• 54:41
  Speaker 17: So if we're not going to do the GP thing
• 54:42
  Speaker 17: or we're gonna drag it out and have some dramatic
• 54:44
  Speaker 17: type of thing, you just get one from the draft.
• 54:47
  Speaker 17: I look at players like Imecca Ibuka and Ptero McMillan.
• 54:52
  Speaker 17: They did were phenomenal for their team this year and
• 54:54
  Speaker 17: they were rookie. So with that, I'll hang up and
• 54:56
  Speaker 17: link this. Yeah you have Well I did have one question. Yeah,
• 55:00
  Speaker 17: what does because I hear all the time window dressing
• 55:04
  Speaker 17: the board means when it comes to the draft, and
• 55:06
  Speaker 17: you might have that might like Brian's for that, but
• 55:09
  Speaker 17: you have good day.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: All right? All right, window dressing the board, I mean
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to me, it's it's all it's all about. I mean,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: there's different people that have terms with that, but but
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: it's about putting if I always was told that it
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: was about putting guys up on the board, and Chris
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: might know this too, But putting guys on the board
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: that you're really not going to take and having having
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: options up there, having guys up there, your quarterbacks and
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: things like that, putting them up there, but you're not
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: necessarily going to take that. That was my understanding of that,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: But I mean there could be different takes to that.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: But as far as twelve and twenty, you know, you
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: say that about it's of tackle. I mean, I could
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: be talking to anything. You know, I don't know what's
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't know if Steele, what's gonna
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: happen with him? Is Guyton moving right tackle? I don't
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. But if you're sitting there
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: and I just remember the year that Micah was picked,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: I mean they it was a fifty to fifty debate.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Some of them wanted Rashaun Slater, you know, out of Northwestern,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and so that was one of those camp miss guys.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I know he's battled some injuries, but you know you're
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: just gonna have a chance to get a really good player.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: You gotta take defense, I mean you do. But if
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: the right pick is there at twelve, then let's don't
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Let's don't avoid that either. But I think with so
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: many needs on defense, I can't imagine it not being that.
• 56:33

  Speaker 1: We just got an opportunity here for just a few

  Speaker 1: more minutes to kind of close this show out. But
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot about great players and do you
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: want to pick at twelve and twenty, do you want
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: to move back and all these things. What you want
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: is you want superstar players and you want guys that
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: can make a difference right away. You know, the Cowboys
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: have some of that. But you know, when you when
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: you look at the All Pro team just came out
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: this last week, and three guys were on it for
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: the second team. You know, no first teamers this year,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: just just three second team and two of them on
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: special teams, Brandon Aubrey and Cavante Turpin's a bit of
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: surprise that Turp had made it, and you know, and
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: obviously George Pickens was a second teamer, which he didn't
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: like that. He put that on Twitter and he thought
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: he should have been one of the three receivers. And
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I disagree that. Puca's fine, and
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigbit fine, but I thought he had
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a better year than than Jamar Chase. But you know,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: that is what it is. But those are the kind
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: of players that that you're looking for. You know, you
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: want difference makers and you want more guys there on,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: you know, on the first team, you know, all pros
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: and and things like that. Now, now Pickens, was there,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Aubrey Dak you know, Quinn Williams. Those are guys that
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. The Cowboys had a handful of
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: guys there that that made the Pro Bowl. I know
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I'm missing someone as well that made it, but you know,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: still you want to have those kind of guys and
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. At the end of the day.
