  Speaker 4: to loosen the grip a little bit on what we
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: talk about next year. And somebody asked the other day

• 1:03
  Speaker 4: and all that, and you know, we're almost We're almost
• 1:06

• 1:36
  Speaker 4: eight eight five five two two nine seven, let's get
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: this thing started.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Dialing Northport, Florida.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: You're first, Hey, good morning, Now are you what's up?
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: So track going on Tuesday? But Christy yelled at me,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: so I he kicked me off. I had a bad connection,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: so I thought he was crampus for a minute. That nomskitting.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: He's like the nicest guy ever. So but I couldn't
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: get through Tuesday, so I guess a day late. But
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Merry Christmas.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Christmas, and I never got.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: My favorite movie, and so I'll go with Elf. Like
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: like Rob said, but I didn't want to say. This
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: season's kind of been like home alone a little bit, right,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Like every time you turn a corner there's like a
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: brick to the face or like a swinging paint can
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: to the nuts, like if you're Jaaling Tolber in Pittsburgh.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: So you know, I guess that's a fitting a fitting
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: second this movie for me. Yeah, I'm very representative of
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: this season for sure.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: A brick to the face.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, true, it's been it's been that kind of actually, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and I actually have referenced this this movie, that movie
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: at another point. It was just like the whole season
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: was walking like you know what, he's walking with the
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: groceries and you just walk in, walk in, and you're like,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: all right, I know this is not not good. The
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: next thing, you know, the bottom just falls out. That's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: that's kind of been what what this season has been like?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Here that was the Cincinnati game, like all right, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: now it's done.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure, it's it's been a rough one,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: but you know, it's it's been enjoyable though, because this
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: is the first season where I got to really talk
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: about the ride a lot, and I got to experience
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: the ride this year with a lot of new friends
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: and stuff. So then even though it's kind of sucked
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the season, you know, it's been still really good on
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the other side. So I kind of want to be
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go quick here. I kind of want to
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: beat a dead horse this one last time. It's the
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: last time'm going to talk about it until it comes
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: up down the road. I guess a dead reindeer, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: guess it's fitting for the holidays. But the salary cap
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: stuff you mentioned on one O five three couple weeks ago,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I think we're talking about two different things here, because
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: when we or I guess I talk about the salary
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: cap and restructuring deals and all that, I mean that
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: you can come up with, I'm talking about what I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: call pretexts, And I guess I want to make sure
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: all the fans kind of understand this too, because I've
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: talked about with a lot of people. Just because you
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: you free up a ton of cap space, which you can,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: you can do over one hundred, but it doesn't mean
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: it's there for you to spend, because then you still
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: to count for all the unresearched free.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Agency you have.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: You got to sign draft picks, you gotta have money
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: allocated for that. You got to pay off these incentive
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: bonuses like you mentioned on air. So just because and
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: all the strow a number, just because you do one
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: hundred million, doesn't mean you have one hundred million to
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: go pursue high priced free agents. You still have your
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: debts to you know, look at when you look at
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: like a balance sheet, you got your credits and debits.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: You still got to take stuff away from whatever you
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: free up, and all the things that they can do
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: to free up that cap, I wouldn't necessarily do it,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: like moving on from Terrence Steel. Well you can do
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: that and make fourteen million dollars back on the cap,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: but now you don't have a right tackle. So you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: that's the same thing with the two safeties. You can
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: go in from Hooker and Wilson, but that's eight million
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: dollars you can between the two of them. But now
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: you don't have safeties unless you feel confident in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: two guys like I hurt this year. So like there's
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: pluses and minuses. And just because like I said, is
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: to wrap it up, just because you're freeing up cap
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean that cap is free to use when you
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: go on like over the over the cap or the
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: other one there spot track. You can look at how
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: a roster is built and you can like all the
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: teams in the NFL, and the majority of players take
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: up less than one percent in the cap. You got
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: what sixty eight sixty nine guys you got to account for,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: including practice squad, right, and the majority take up less
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: than one percent. You want to balance that and have
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: more guys in the meeting. But when you look at
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys, it's like there's a handful of guys making
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: more than like two three percent, and my goodness, there's
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: a ton of guys in that less than one percent
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: rage and they're still going to be there if they
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: don't do some of these moves like restructuring DAK and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: CD and some of these guys, but some that's riskier
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: than what maybe you probably want to do, especially with
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: DAK and like Treylon Diggs. So I'll leave you with that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: and here we had to say, and happy holidays, man, all.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Right, thank you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if a lot of fans understand everything
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: that you just said, because it's you know, it's not
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: the easiest thing to talk about the salary cap. But
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I'll say this though, you know, when you're that's why
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I never really get into it much, because you could say, well,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: we've got you know, thirty million dollars under the cap.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So a lot of fans would look at that and go, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: we can get three players for that for ten million each,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: or you know, two fifteen million dollars, whatever it is.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: But remember this, I think it's about twenty four million
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: dollars that that you have to set aside for draft picks, practice, squad,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: game day elevations. Uh. And then also like your injury report,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: i'man injured I mean injured reserve, your incentive bonuses, things
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: like that. So you know, just to play it safe,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: you've got to have about twenty four or twenty five million,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: maybe even a little bit more in a season like
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: this with all these injured player guys on injured reserve.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know you put Braindon Cooks on injury reserve. Well,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: you're still paying him, but you're getting another guy in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and now you're paying him. So you're paying about seventy
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: five players when it looks like you're paying like fifty three.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: You actually have a lot more than that. So that's
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: that's why it's it's always kind of tough to calculate.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: And that's why those websites like spowtrack and overthecap dot
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: com like they can only do with what they do
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: and based off of what the numbers are. But knowing
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: that the teams itself have a different agenda, They got
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: different books because they know what they're going to do
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: and what they're going to spend. So it's kind of.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to go off of it like that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, Good morning.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: How are you.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I'm doing all right, man, I've enjoyed, enjoyed Christmas. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of a excuse me, I got
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a cold. But all right, I did,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I did, Thank you. I enjoyed. I enjoyed my Christmas.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: How about you?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Pretty good? Pretty good for sure?
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Right on?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Man, I asked Chris if anybody if Santa dropped off
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: like an Eagles win while you guys were out celebrating Christmas,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe at the star He said no, no,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he said he didn't see one, you know, just waiting
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: for us when when he got back to work.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I didn't see that. But but we'll see,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, we'll see what happens if you know, I mean,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: maybe they have to play with the Eagles have to
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: play with their backup quarterback. You know, you know how
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: hard you know, you know, things change a little bit
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: when you have to play with your backup quarterback. I
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: don't know if the Cowboys know this, but yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding. I got a couple of personnel questions.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I thought i'd throw out there and see what you think.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So two people that were kind of you know, coming
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: into the season, we thought we're going to play big,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: major roles based on what we had previously seen. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I say major roles, bigger roles than what we saw
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: based just on potential. And in one case, which is Ferguson,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be, you know, like
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a top tier tight end this year. And I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: know if it's obviously he missed a couple of games
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and I don't you know, there's a change in quarterback,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: all that stuff factors in, but he has not been
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the dominant factor that I kind of figured on. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: then I was kind of surprised that they seem to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: have given up on the Hunter lip Key experiment. So
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'll hang up and listen to your thoughts on that, man,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And thanks for taking guys for being there today.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: All right, Thanks Brian, Merry Christmas to you. You know
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: you say giving up on Hunter Lipke, I mean he
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: plays a lot. So I mean, did you think as
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: a running back maybe or or whatever? I mean, uh,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: you know, he's not He's not gonna be a tailback
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. I mean, he doesn't have that kind
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of speed and quickness. Uh he can get the ball
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: every now and again, and and you know, I thought
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: they would they would give it to him a little
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: bit more. But I mean he plays, I mean there's
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: there's not like they've given up on him. He plays.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: He plays a lot, but but he's not as a
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: featured back or anything like that. They don't throw him
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the ball that much. And you know, and and some
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: of the tight ends you know have played well. I
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: mean Schoonmaker has has had made that leak, but and
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: so's a span forward.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I think both of them done a nice job.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: But you're right, Ferguson, I put him as one of
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the and I hate to say this, you know, because
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: he's everybody likes him, and he's done a good job
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and he's been hurt some. But I do think his
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: him not taking that leap is one of the more
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: disappointing things of the of the season. You know, they
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: they needed that. You know, you walked into this season,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: You're like, all right, there's five to ten guys that
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: have to take that jump. This is their free agency
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: right here. This is they're not going to get free agents.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: They need these guys to take the leap here, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: uh one of them, of course was Sam Williams and
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: he gets hurt.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You know. Another one was.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Brock Hoffman and then he you know, he gets jumped
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: over by Cooper Bebe and then ends up, you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: ends up playing. Well now that that he's he's had that,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: you know that jump. Hunter Lipke was one that you know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: we looked at and was okay, said was a pro
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Bowl player, a really good player, needed to be a
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: great player. You know, the list goes on and on.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Some Mazzie Smith was was one. Did he take that leap?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I think he he went up the stairs a little bit,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: but I don't think he you know, in pole vault
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to a next level or anything like that. So those
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: guys didn't take that big leap. And then the players
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that were already here, a lot of them got hurt.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: So that's part of it. That's part of it, only
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: only some of the issues of what this team struggled with.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to a Travis in San Antonio.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: How are you doing good?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: I hope everyone had a good day yesterday. Didn't get
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: didn't get any Cole, So hopefully that was a positive
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: for everybuddy.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I don't not, I mean not that I
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: know of. Unless no, no colting home. No, No, that's good,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: that's good, not at all. All right, Cole Beasley, Jersey,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: There you go, There you go. Now, I'm kidding. I'm sorry. Sorry.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: I was gonna say you were right back in the
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: saddle today, and then I was gonna say right back
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: in the play but so uh but no, I just
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: want to hit you with three things, and you can
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: hit on any three of them. I'm making pretty quick.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: The last time I called and talked to you, I
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: was talking to you about Dak and the play calling,
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: and I know you kind of mentioned after I dropped
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: about like maybe, well maybe this cruise they don't need
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: a sixty million dollars quarterback. And that's sort of not
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: what I was saying. So I'm going to send myself
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: a little bit on that when and just clarify for you.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: It's more or less like if you look at like
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: a Jared Goff, for instance, He's making fifty three million,
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: so it's not a whole big difference. But what they
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: do is they look at him and they go like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: this is what Jared Goff is good at, this is
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: what he's not good at. How do we support him
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: to get the best out of him? And I just
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: think that's something McCarthy could look at in the offseason
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: and go, how do I now support my quarterback that's
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: had a couple of lower body injuries and and help
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: get these wide receivers maybe open, like we've seen with
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: some of the play action stuff even last week. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: it's more or less just I hope he changes philosophically
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: some of the some of the stuff he calls if
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: he comes back to maybe support the quarterback when it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: not Cooper Rush. So that's that, And then I wanted
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: to see I know the last injury report I saw
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Nick Austin Richards is a full go is do you
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: have any indication if he's going to play, because I
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: think the last two games him playing would be a
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: huge evaluation for the scene. If he can play left
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: tackle based on how he played so far, and then
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: if he plays well the last two games, I think
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: that'd be a huge boost. And like their plans of
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: you know who starts next year or whatnot, So now there's.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: No okay, no, no, no, you're right, You're one hundred
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: percent right on to that. And yes, I think that
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: that would be a great addition, just just from an
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: evaluation standpoint, like you said, and he did practice. He
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: is still on injured reserve, but he did practice, so
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: they opened up that window. And I mean, I think
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: that the idea would be for him to come back
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: and and certainly maybe play in a game or two.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know about starting, but you know, I mean,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: if it's not going to be guiding, then yes, you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: one hundred now one of the two no offense to
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Tuma is just that's not your future.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: So yeah, and that's why that's why I was kind
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: of wondering if they'll do that, because they've sort of
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: done that with Tuma anyways, Like, if he does come back,
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: let's again this is not me saying I'm giving up on.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Guiding, but let's get him.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: If we can get him in the last two games
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: and get a lot of tape that they can evaluate,
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: that would be good. And then last thing I wanted
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: to throw out there just to give some added context
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: because this actually would surprised me Nick when you look
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: at his total career. I know, We've had a lot
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: of Jordan Lewis love, which is which is I think
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: is awesome. But I just pulled it up because I
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: was curious in his career, Nick, just for like something
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: to put in the back of your head. He's got
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: three hundred and seventy six career tackles, nine and a
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: half sacks, five forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, and ten interceptions,
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: which kind of surprised me. So like for his career,
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: I would say he's been a very very solid plus
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: above average contributor. So I just want to throw that
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: out there for everybody and hope everybody has a great
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: New year and beat Eagles.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: All right, Thank you, Travis, appreciate that I listen to
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: those stats. I'm gonna I'm gonna look that up as
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: far as so I think I heard that right. Ten interceptions,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: ten sacks, or maybe nine and a half sacks, ten interceptions,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and ten force fumbles, ten sacks. Anyways, that's a pretty
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: good you know, that's a pretty good stat line for
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: a cornerback, you know, for a corner that can make
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: those plays. And you know, it's it's weird because I
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: still kind of always view him as kind of a
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: younger guy. I mean, he's certainly not. I mean, twenty
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: seventeen was his draft and he was, you know, definitely
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: the best player from that draft, third round pick, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: had some you know, had some character concerns just because
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: he was dealing there was a legal matter that he
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was dealing with and uh, and the Cowboys did a
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: lot of homework on him and said, no, no, this
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: is going to get resolved. Uh, this is this is
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: not who he is. He was being accused of something
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: that wasn't true, and and the Cowboys stood by him
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and said, no, we we we we we think that
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: he's going to be a really really great player. Great addition,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: they got great value for him. And look at him now,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: you know him. He's he's been outstanding. And I bet
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: he comes back. As long as the Cowboys can pay him,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: you know what he thinks he deserves, he probably will
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: come back. All right, let's go. Let's go to Davian
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: in Illinois. Davian, what's up? Man? Now are you on
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the storyliners? This is who I talked to.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: A few nights ago.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Oh man, this is me. Let's go. Well, first of all,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: let's do what we have to do. Here because you're
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: a first time caller. We go here, we go. Even
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: though I know a lot of people that that are
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: that are on the spaces on on Twitter, Uh, they
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: know you very well. So, but you have never been
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: able to call in. You said you would, You said
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the Christmas holidays and and that that time would open
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: up your time to do that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So what's up?
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: What's going on?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Just so happy to finally get on. It's been it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: been a long time coming, to be honest. They wanted
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: to get on for the longest, but of course work
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: I work overnight, so it's just it's hard to get
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: in when I always send them a question of it
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: to my piece, but say sometimes asks them. But uh,
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: it's finally trying to finally get a good show myself.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: What do you got? What do you got for me?
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Well? Yeah, man, just a quick question. I've been thinking
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: about it all morning because I was I told Ireen
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: I was gonna get on and uh and try to
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: get on this morning. I guess it's you know, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: told you on the on the Twitter space that my
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: my my game. I wanted to get the link back
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: was this game here? Because I was in the stadium
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: for the last Philly game. So since we pretty much
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: ruined my my fund of having a good draft position,
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: it's trying to just go get a link back. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: it seemed like Dan Jalen is out will probably be
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: out of dealing with concussion right now whatever, So I'm
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: hoping that we can get that back. So I guess
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: the one question I have, you know, on on the
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: other flip side of that is, uh, if you was
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: advising mister Jones, what was the first thing you do
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: after our final game next week we get Washington, what
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: was you what the first thing you'll be trying to
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: put on the agenda for moving forward?
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Uh? Well, let's let's stay on the line. Let's because
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I want to ask you that that too. So first
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: agenda game is over, last game of the season, it's over,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: and you're saying, what what would you do?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: What what mister Jones to do?
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, you gotta you gotta start with if
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: you're gonna make any coaching decisions, you got to start
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: at the top. So I mean, make your decision if
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: you if you don't do it already, figure out what
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: you're gonna do right away. I mean, like you have
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: to do that. And I you know, being selfish here
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: because if I know what a coaching change means and
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: all that, I I I don't want to see a
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: coaching change. But I also I think that that they
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: played well enough for McCarthy and with all the situations,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: all the injuries is part of it, not all, but
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I think with everything involved, uh, they're playing well for him.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: He's always pretty much played well in December. It's January
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: that's been the issue obviously for this team. I'm i'm
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I take care of that and I and I bring
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: him back. That's part of the first thing that I do,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: because that's where you have to start everything else. For
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: the coaching staff, what would you do?
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: Uh? Well, you know, I mean, sut spaces know what
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: I feel about macarthy?
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Well, tell us, tell us share share with the class here. God, well,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I mean and say and remember this is a class.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: This is a class whereas use the language you would
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: use in a classroom type thing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: But I know, I know I wouldn't. I wouldn't go
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: hand with that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: But you don't think you don't think McCarthy should come back.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: No, I'm ready for macarthury to go. I think the
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: slow starts, the weird goofy play calling. He does have
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: time play column period. I just I can't stand it
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: pretty much ridiculously play calling, and I just the slow
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: start is just is killing me because I feel like
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: if we got the Rico earlier, just Rico is actually
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: the best running back. I think we probably have still
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: had da standing up right now. But need to hear
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: there and we can't have that. I would first resolved
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: as this coaching thing. If he's gonna move forward with McCarthy, fine,
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: I'm a die hard, so we're gonna roll with it regardless.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: But next HEAs needs to get it. He need to
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: get my agent, Jordan Louis agent and Oath agent, try
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: to go on, try to make some deals before we
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: even get to free agency. I need them things to
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: be done, wrapped up, and we're gonna try to move
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: forward and hopefully this time spend the money, which I
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: don't know we will bus we'll see.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Well, you know you're gonna have to David. Thanks for
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the for the call. I appreciate that. It's good to
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: hear from you, and I hope you call back again.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I got a story about sergeant too, because
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: I'm in Dallas right now. I'm like, okay, twenty minute
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: from the Star, So I'm uh, I got a story
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: to tale kind of air. But you know, when we
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: get the ark and we hang out with.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: You, all right, I look forward to that that that's
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: gonna be. That's gonna be a lot of fun. David,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: appreciate thanks for the call, uh and and always keeping
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: it real. I know that you're one that that a
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: lot of people, you know, reference a lot kind of
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: like with with Rob you know when they say you
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: got to say things, it's like, you know, you you
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: hold the water, and that's that's really good. And then
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: that's the kind of fans that we need here in
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: the storyline. Glad that you were able to call him. Jordan, Lewis, Parsons,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: OSA want to get those deals done. I don't disagree there.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I think it's and the good thing is SODA's Parsons,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: you know, and Parsons can say that because he's not
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: going to be a free agent. OSA and Jordan, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: their agents don't really want to get the deal done
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: because they want to see what the team, what the
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: market really looks like. You know, the Cowboys wanted to
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: get Dorian Tomstrong done. Well, of course they did. They
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: didn't want to pay fifteen million a year. His agent's like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: let's see what the market looks like. It looked like
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: fifteen a year, which when you look at the contract
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: it's going to really be more like eleven the way
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: it kind of shakes out, still more than what the
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Cowboys wanted to pay. So with Osa, good luck getting
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: that deal done first. I think he's played his way
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: to a contract probably out of the Cowboys price range.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I just mean good luck getting it done before free agency.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: You know that they're gonna have to fight with other
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: teams probably when that happens. Let's go to break here
• 23:04

• 26:24
  Speaker 12: a quick comment today. We we've got the Eagles coming up,
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: and so I'm gonna throw three names out there and
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: take one or take all of them. But I've got
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: Orlando Scandric, Mark Sanchez, and Jason Peters who played for
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: both squads, and so if you have any stories or
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: comments on them, that'd be great. And also we've got
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: a chance, you know, Washington eliminated US a few weeks ago,
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: actually Sunday, we've got a chance, you know, if if
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: some things play out with Atlanta and Tampa Bay, if
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: they're winning their games, you know, and they've both teams
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: have a lot to play for, so Washington's not you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: it's uh, it's gonna be a shoe in to make
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: the playoffs. We can spoil next week if things play
• 27:15
  Speaker 12: out properly, so we can return the favor to Washington.
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: Got to handle business in Philly and uh, you know,
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: we'll see what happens. There's still a lot of fun
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: things in stores. So yeah, that's all I got, man,
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: Mark Sanchez, Orlando scant and I'm gonna I'm gonna hang up, man, take.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Care, thank you.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I'm in here thinking and trying to think about those
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: three guys from a from a story standpoint, you would
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: think I'd have a lot more on on Scandric.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: You know, actually it's funny you say that about Scandric
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: and and and the movie that everyone keeps talking about.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: They called him the Orlando the Grinch because he was
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: you know, he was that way. Sometimes you never know
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: you were gonna get good mood to Orlando, bad mood Orlando,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: And you know that's you could say that probably about anybody,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: myself included, of course, but no, I just think that,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: you know, he was he was one where you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: you never knew what you were gonna get, and he
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: sometimes You'd love to sit there and ask a lot
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: of questions and uh, you know just what was going on.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: He was big in basketball, loved to talk about the
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: NBA and stuff like that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But you know he was Orlando was was a good player.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: He He's a lot like Jordan Lewis to me, like
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: like as far as how they played their size good
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: off the edge. You know, you can get sacks with him.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Playmaker would get some interceptions. Personality wise different, but but
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's that's kind of what I remember
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: about Scandrick. You know, Jason Peters, he's one of my
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: favorite players when he played at Arkansas. When he was
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: a tight end at Arkansas, I made some great plays.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Uh there.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: He wasn't one of my favorite players when he was
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: with the Eagles and he was shutting down the Marcus
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: where not shutting down, but he was so certainly, uh,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: he was certainly a load there.
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: And then Sanchez, Now I don't have a ton of stories,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: but I know that that he helped Bac a lot
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: his rookie year uh in twenty sixteen, really helped him
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: get to that level. All right, Chris, if we have
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: another call, let me know, because I don't have anything
• 29:17

• 29:43
  Speaker 4: you know it's just paper, and you know, you stay.
• 29:46

• 29:49
  Speaker 4: you stepping on legos and and little stuff here and
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: there and toys. But yeah, but it's all good. And
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: that's my favorite. That's my favorite mess of the of
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: the year, is when it's just presence everywhere and it's great.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So I hope you had a good one.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: My daughter is still the age where she just played
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: with the rotten papers.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: She don't oh really yeah, yeah, well not no, we're not.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: We're not. We're a little bit past that one. Now
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: past that one.
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: Yeah, man. So I was just calling in because a
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: couple of things. How much do you think they're as
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: far as salary cap concerned? Do you think we have
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: after we resigned or try to resign the twenty five
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: the thirty free agents we're going to have, and then
• 30:36
  Speaker 14: I wanted to know, uh brain fun, Sorry, I'm.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, let me answer that first real quick,
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: and maybe you think about it. You know they're not
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: going to sign all those twenty five free agents. Uh.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You know some of those guys were brought in later
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: in the season or just because of injuries and stuff
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: So you know you're not you're not gonna get all
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: You're gonna get I don't know, twelve to thirteen of
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: those players. You know how much money they're gonna have.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: They'll have, they'll have money to do certain things. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: think that you know they'll they'll add. They'll add probably
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: seventeen players. Eighteen players. Now, how many are are gonna
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: be from you know, the current team? How many outside?
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I would I would imagine like ten and seven if
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I'm just guessing something something like that, ten of the
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: guys that are here, seven on other teams. It'll probably
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: even itself out though, so.
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: And the other questions still ain't come back to me. Man,
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: Hopefully I can think about it and I'll just being
• 31:49
  Speaker 14: you a holler of them all. But My number for
• 31:51
  Speaker 14: today is thirty one. My original thirty one is George p.
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: You know a lot of people that I know that
• 31:57
  Speaker 14: are cowboys fans think that that was Royal Williams and
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: they don't know.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: That that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah Roy Roy Williams. Oh yeah, no, go ahead. You
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: want a story from a thirty one?
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, from a thirty one?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: All right, well there's Brock.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You got Brock Marion, Benny Barnes.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: But Roy Williams, Uh, for sure. It's funny, right. Roy
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Williams says that like in any given week, he'll get
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: a text message I mean yeah, he'll get tweets that
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: that say, you know, so glad that you knocked t
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: O off the Star. And then also he would get
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: him as like, you know, great win over Wake Forest
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: this weekend, or I can't believe y'all lost to Duke.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: You know, he was thinking it was the Roy Williams
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: from North Carolina, the former coach at North Carolina. So yeah,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: he got a lot of tweets and messages that weren't
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: really going for him. So those are my those are
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: my thirty ones. Roy Roy Williams, uh, you know, really
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: really enjoyed, you know, working on that documentary with him
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: that we did a few years ago. He welcome welcomed
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: us to his home and just said, hey, you do
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: the do the documentary your way, and uh, most people
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: don't say that, and he did, and he was fine
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: with it. And he's got a new book coming out
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: he wrote, and uh, he told me we were going
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to talk about that at some point. He may even
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: maybe get Roy Williams on the show at some point
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: if he comes back into Dallas and bring his book,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: and uh, that'll be interesting read. I wouldn't mind looking
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: at that for sure. All Right, Josh in Chicago's next, Josh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: what's up?
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: How you doing?
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Are you not bad?
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 33:50
  Speaker 13: I've heard to say the other day when I called
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: into four Christmas with awesome Christmas movie.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched it again. I watched it again.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: I I it's it's fascinating to me, like the just
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: just the way Vince Vaughn handles that, that's that's one
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: of his best in my opinion.
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: Oh, for sure. I was really hoping when Zach and
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: Alana called and he was going to call you like
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: college boy or something like that, get a good movie
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: reference for you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: No, but.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: What do you got man.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, not much.
• 34:19
  Speaker 13: I was just going to say, you know, there's been
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: a lot of talk about re signing Osa and Jordan Lewis,
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: which I agree with, but I also think Eric Hendricks
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: is somebody who needs to be on that shortlist too.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: I have him written down right here as I wrote
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: him as my fourth guy down here, probably not in
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: that order, but I wrote him on that list as well.
• 34:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I would love to see him brought back, especially
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: if the coaching and staff doesn't change. I think he
• 34:40
  Speaker 13: brought a lot to this defense and a lot of
• 34:42
  Speaker 13: veteran you know, knowledge and experience. The other thing for Philly.
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: I'm just I'm really looking at Brock Kaufman and Cooper
• 34:49
  Speaker 13: BB seeing what they can do against Carter and Davis.
• 34:52
  Speaker 13: You know, those are two big boys. So I want
• 34:54
  Speaker 13: to see some evaluation of those two guys. And that's
• 34:56
  Speaker 13: that's all I got for you today.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, thank you. You know, I remind me that we
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: had another caller earlier that that talked about awesome richards
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: In wanting to see him, wanting to see some from uh,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: you know Hoffman of course, bbe. But I mean what
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: I would like to see more than anything is. I
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: want to see that Tyler Geydon, you know, have a
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: great week of practice, play and start the game. He's
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: been somewhat healthy now Idoga's played well, but but I
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: want I'd like to see Guyton take it, take it back,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: be the starter, play well, you know, carry some momentum
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: into the sea that that would be huge. That's what
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: he needs.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: This is that round of golf. You guys play golf.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Maybe if you play it, you know, like recreational type,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: you know, not that great play every now and again.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Here we are in the round of golf where you've
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: had one of those days. Okay, you've hit the ball
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: all over the place, a couple of great shots here
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: and there, you hit it into someone's pool. You know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: you're all over the woods. It's that seventeenth hole where
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: you hit the greatest shot of your life and you're like, wow,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: where has that been all day? Well, you know what,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna play again, you know, and I'm give me
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: some better clubs.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: It's the clubs. It's whatever.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I need some lessons, But it's that point in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: round where you're gonna have a really, really great shot
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: and that keeps you coming back again. That's what I
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: want to see out of Tyler Guidon. Let's have one
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: of those games here at Philly or Washington or both
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: where you're.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Like, see this guy's got something. He's got something.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Then he carries it into the to the offseason, the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: weight room, all of that stuff, because that's what he needs.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: He needs to have a really great offseason. Needs to
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: kind of change his body a little bit. All rookies
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: do that. Rookies going in their second year, you'll see
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: change with them physically. That's what needs to happen. So
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I'm looking Austin Richards would be great, some of these
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: other guys, but I really want to see Tyler Guyton.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: I want to see Tyler Goyton finish this season strong
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: to the point where he can build some momentum going
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: into the offseason. All right, Mike in Washington, the state
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: of Washington, Mike, what's up? He just dropped and he
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: just dropped a man? Is that a first time call?
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: It was here?
• 37:18
  Speaker 14: I'll give him one.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, here we go. Yeah, he really did. Like
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: he guys supposed to be. Literally, here we go.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: So the lines are open, you know what, Let's take
• 37:28

• 39:17
  Speaker 4: the break. Like I said earlier the show, It's a
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: wonderful life. I tried, but also tried to do it
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: like on Christmas Eve, where you know, you're moving presents
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: around and all that, and didn't really get to sit
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: down and watch it. But you know, as my mom
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: told me, my mom told me this, it's there for
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: a reason that people keep saying it. Even though it's
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: an older movie, it's kind of you know, it's still
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: it still comes back on everyone's list, So there's a
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: reason for it. I got to make sure and watch that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not big on movies though that were older than me.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I haven't seen a lot ever seen The Godfather.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: I've never seen a lot of movies like that, I know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: but anyways, all right, Chris, do we have a caller? Yeah?
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: You want blind? Let's go. Yeah, let's just say Merry Christmas.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: See if I can see who this is? Oh okay,

• 40:18
  Speaker 6: How was your Christmas?
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: It was great?

• 40:27
  Speaker 6: you know already? Very easy? Everybody doesn't want to get
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: up anymore, you know, so they come over. We watched Elf,
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: we watched die Hard. You know it was on in
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: the background.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Christmas movie? Where do you stand on that?
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: That was on? I'm like you if it's really old, no,
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: if it's especially if it's a black and white.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, no Christmas movie a die Hard? Where do
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: you stand?
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: Yes? Yes, yes, yeah, that's a Christmas movie. And it's
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: funny because now that I was watching it, I was
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: paying attention more to the Christmas Who was that?
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Who was that?
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Chris chime in there?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Who wasn't that?
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Called and said here's why, And I was like, all right,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: I'm with it?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Was it was it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: Josh Atlanta, I'm sorry, yeah, or Josh Chicago exact Atlanta.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I think one of them called in and said, you know,
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: and I'm pretty stubborn. I don't like to change my mind.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, yeah, I'll give it to you.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: So he's the one that said his wife's they was Holly.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah, that one was a stretch.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: But the fact that there's three songs on the soundtrack, yes,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: three Christmas songs.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with it.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: So it's a good It's a good movie regardless, though
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: they could have changed a couple of things here and
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: there and made it a Fourth of July movie. They
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: could have and it would have been fine, but they didn't.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: It's a Christmas movie. I'm with you, all right, what
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: do you got wrong?
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: And then obviously and then obviously yes, but they watched
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: some bad football games.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about those, honestly.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because they.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: Were all in the they were on regular TV.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: They were and if fantasy games. Because I forgot to
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: set my lineup on that and be real mad.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not used to doing it on Wednesday or Tuesday night.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Watched the interview of Mike Zimmer did. I think the
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: day after the game, and I didn't realize he's the
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: second highest paid defensive coordinator in the league. He makes
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: four million dollars a year. And he was talking and
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: and somebody asked him about coming back next year, and
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: he was kind of like, you know, sixty eight years old,
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: you know. So I'm just wondering if they had tied
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: together in Jerry's eyes, because if you said which coach
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: did a better job with what he had, I would
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: say Zimmer did because I think they took so many
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: injuries and then obviously Dak went out. But I I
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: wonder if that's going to be an interesting thing if
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: Zimmer announces after the season that I'm done, if that
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: really affects him his decision on Mike McCarthy. We've talked
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: about this. I think he's going to bring him back.
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: I don't want him back. I would I want a
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: new voice, but I think he is. But if he
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: is fifty to fifty, that may change the whole conversation
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: if Zimmer doesn't come back. But he also did say
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I don't think I'll get another head coaching job because
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: I'm sixty eight. So yeah, could you see a scenario
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: where if Jerry says, you know, I don't want to
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: lose Zimmer, make Zimmer the head coach, and then all
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: you got to do is bring in an OC. How
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: would you feel about that?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Interesting?
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: I don't I've never actually thought about that. And Rob,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: thanks for the call. You have anything else, Rob, We're
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: gonna move.
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: And Julia Holidays, I'll talk to you.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Ax, you too, Thanks for the call. And that's a
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: that's an interesting scenario. I mean, that's that's not that
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: far fetched. You know, it would be unfortunate for Mike.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, but that's that's the way that the business
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: works sometimes, you know, it'd be unfortunate to say, all right,
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: because it's got to remember, I mean, there were a
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: lot of people that wanted Zimmer out of here early on,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: and so think about that. Like Zimmer, he got his
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: share of criticism as well. Now they're playing better. Did
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: anything change? Did anything change over the last part of
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: the season that now he's playing better. Let's see, Well,
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: Michaeh came back, Michael came back, and now all of
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: a sudden, the defense looks really good now. So if
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: we're giving him a pass because of the injuries, then
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: would and McCarthy get a pass for the injuries too,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, because he's had a lot on all sides
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: of the bault as well. So all I'm saying is
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: is that if we're going to play that game of like, well,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the injury is there.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Now, look how they're playing well, you can make the
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: case for Mike as well that it is an interesting
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: scenario that would keep Zimmer here. That would also you know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: you'd have to get it all. You're pretty much starting over.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: And see that's the thing. I don't think the Cowboys
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: want to do that with Dak. They don't really want
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: to have to change things up with him. They're already
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: paying him the money. Let's make it as easy as
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: possible for him to be a great quarterback. And I
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: think that's kind of what will play a factor into this.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Is Dak friendly. You know, we haven't said that in
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: a while, or at least I haven't, but that's kind
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: of what that is. I'm having some issues here, Chris.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: If there's any other caller, you can bring them on.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: If not, we can Mike in Washington State, Mike, what's up?
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I am that I'm telling you? I'm calling it as
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: a blizzard outside and we've had to put a snow
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: on the ground right now, just Stanner to get his
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: and the first time following.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: We go, we go go. I don't know I'd be
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: a second time caller because I think you called it
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: and it hung up because of the because of the snowy,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: the blizzard.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy out there right now. I mean it's
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: it's cool anyway. Saying Nick, I wanted to I had
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: a question about what do you think about this Douce
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: spawn thing? Is he can to be on our Rogers
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: roster next year? And you know, I hate to say it,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I'm an Oklahoma Sooner fan and that when he played
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: for Kansas State he just tourist part. I mean, I
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: hate him when we played that guy because we can
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: never catch the guy. Yeah, it seems like now we
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: got him and we can't even get him on the field.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you think this guy's coming back and
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: we didn't keep him. I know he's still on this
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: what is his third year? Fourth year?
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Is his second year? You're talking about second year? Yeah, yeah,
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: he's played. Yeah, this is his second season with the team. Yeah,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: you know, I I you can make that case with
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of college players. I think the NFL, bigger, stronger,
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: faster arm tackles can bring him down. He to me,
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: he's overmatched here. That's what I've seen. And I know
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: that we haven't seen a ton of plays with him.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: But when he's had his moments, they've been in the preseason,
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: probably against a lot of players that aren't in the NFL.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: You know, you can argue that he hasn't had a
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: lot of opportunities. You could also argue back, there's a
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: reason why. I just I don't see it. If I'm wrong,
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong. I just don't. I don't see him being
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: a big factor. I don't know if he's got a role,
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I just don't. He's certainly not big and strong,
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: and I don't think his speed and quickness is to
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: the point where he can make up for that enough.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: I hope I'm wrong. Love watching him play when when
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: he was at Kansas State. I love his attitude now.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: His dad does a great job. It's a great, great story.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I just don't don't know.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: I think we would have seen it by now if
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: he really had something. Again, if I'm wrong, I'll be
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: the first admitute.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to say I hated him in college,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: but I love him there. I've watched him play in
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: the preseason. He's moved like him has a good job.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: He doesn't. It doesn't take a lot of room for
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: him to get to break away. But he seems like
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: when he gets the ball there's four people on him. Yeah,
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: you know, so I don't know if that's offensive line
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: and whatnot. Anyway, my second, my second question for you,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: and you all kind of get off the air and
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: you can answer this, but the last game that we
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: watched that I watched was the Monday night game, and
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Michael Parsons is going that I noticed the most of
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: all that he was so gassed that he didn't even rush.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: He has stood when the ball was hyped, he stood
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: there and you may have seen that too. Do you
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: think with all the injuries that conditioning is an issue
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: in Dallas because I've never seen on other teams. Obviously
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: people you're standing there.
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: I love Michael to death, so it's not enough on him.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was he was gast Yeah, don't the
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: conditioning is an issue for the Cowboys that we have
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: all these injuries and that's sometimes due to conditioning. And
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: when you see a superstar like Micah, you know, on
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: a light ball, just stand there because he's so wiped
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: out that he can't even rush. Are you talking about issue?
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: Are you talking about the Bengals game? The Bengals game
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: for him night? You know?
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Actually nothing money and I'm sorry, not money that I gave.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: It was the one after that, uh.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: You know with the okay, the last game, the car
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: or Carolina. Yeah, all right, well, oh no, you're talking
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: about Tampa. You're talking about the Tampa game.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, the Tampa game, the Tampa game, then the four Corter.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I mean he's getting towards Vandeman. You might saw that
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: he just stood at the ming you didn't try to
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: rush because he was just like out.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, uh you know.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: He he admitted that the the the conditioning, you know,
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: after the injury was tough.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Got you know, when you.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: You get hurt and you're out for five weeks really
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: six weeks with an ankle injury, you can't do as much,
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: you know, so it's almost like having two training camps,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: like two seasons start stop, and he's had to kind
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: of get his body back right for that he plays
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: a position that that most people have a healthier rotation
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: there they don't, you know, did Marcus war was the
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: same thing. They had great conditioning, but it was it
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: was when do you take this guy out? When do
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: you go from DeMarcus Ware to Victor Butler? Sorry, that's
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: the only name I could think of, or you know,
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: in this case, when do you go from from Micah?
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: And then you know, you you move him out and
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: you have another rusher or Kneeland or or whatever. It's
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: just different. So you keep him in as much as
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: you can. And he plays so hard it's double to
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: you're getting hit by two guys every single time, the
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: chips all that, and I think I think he's been
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: phenomenal in his return. I don't question his conditioning. I
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: don't really question conditioning of the team that much.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this if you know, these injuries,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: are these injuries conditioning?
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: Is it that's hamstring falls off the bone because of
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: the condition.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I don't think so.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: And I know that there's a lot of case to it,
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: like if it was just all hamstrings and you know,
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: and soft tissue issues for every.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: One of them, and you know, you can make that argument.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's the case though. I think
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: it's been a bad luck year all the way around.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: Key players, Pro Bowl type guys that have been banged
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: up and banged up and had multiple players at the
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: same position, which really hurts your depth. So that's the
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: injury part of it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: They're not seven and eight just because of injuries. They're
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: seven and eight because they had because they weren't good enough,
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: and some of those games early in the season they
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: they they didn't.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: They didn't.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: The defense wasn't jelling, the offense wasn't. Then then when
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: they kind of one team, one side got better than
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: the other one had big injuries. It just never did
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: mesh this year. But they're playing well right now. They're
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: playing spoiler see if they can spoil things for the
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Eagles and maybe Washington and maybe some other teams as well.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: All Right, we'll be back tomorrow here on Cowboys Storyline
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: to wrap up the week in another final preview for
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: the Eagles game for Chrispy My Nick Eatman see tomorrow
• 52:18
