  Speaker 5: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Friday, December
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: twenty seventh, last day of the week to get ready
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: for Cowboys and Eagles. If we're even thinking that way,
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys focused on winning this game, they say they are.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: They say they're going to Philly to win, and I'm
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: sure that that's the case. Is everybody going to Philly?
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know about that. Found out yesterday, No, no surprise,
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Cedee Lamb is not going to play this game or
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: the rest of the season. They're going to shut him down.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: And I think that's a good idea. I think everybody
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: kind of feels that that way. He's done enough, he's
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: been through a lot of pain, he's proven his point,
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: he's a war all that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Now, let's let's go shut it down.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Let's get him, you know, back to one hundred percent
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: again and start the rehab process sooner than later. I
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: don't I don't think he's gonna need surgery, but still, uh,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: he was kind of He's been going on a lot
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: of that pain and you know, one hundred catches he's over.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: I think he's been eleven hundred yards there. Actually I'm
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: not even sure what what his yards are this year,
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: but you know, he's had a great season and he
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: has been a guy that I think has set the
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: tone for the rest of the team. So you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: it's it's emmet like what he's been able to do.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Obviously that the stakes are not as high as they
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: were when he did that game and all that good stuff.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Still pretty big, pretty big performance out of out of
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: ceedee lamb. So all right, eight eight eight eight five
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: five two two nine seven is our number to call.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: We already have a caller on the line, so let's
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: go right to it. Carolina. He lives in Carolina, but

• 2:19
  Speaker 7: that means.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, no, not really. I was one, so
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I think it was like Gerber. You know, it was
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: like and then we moved.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I hadn't heard from you in a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: little bit, Carolina, been on the.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: Road, man. I just told I told Nick guys, I
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: got a bone to pick with you, man, I mean college.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: He won't let me in, just put me on the
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: block list.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: For a while, I was going on, man.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well the bone that you picked Chris.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: With them figures what he said. I got working, my bete.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going great. It was outstanding, wonderful. Still still
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: finding toys and things like that that need to put
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: together and all that good stuff.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But it's been great.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: They're buying batteries to getting batteries.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You're right about that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: So oh man, Well, man, I don't got too much
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: for you today. I just want to say, Man, I've
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: been loving with what the child boys have been doing. Man,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: you know I heard you talking on Monday. You know
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: what you're saying. Okay, I'll be willing to keep McCarthy
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: just with a few wrinkles. And I think the biggest
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: wrinkle would be a offensive coordinator, just somebody to do
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: all the play calling and just let him run the
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: team as a whole. And not have to worry about that,
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Yeah, So I'm mind of
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: percenting with you on that, and I'm over here thinking like, man, can.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: We do it?
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Can we beat the Eagles? You know, see he's out.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Have you have you already updated? Only if Jeneral Hurts
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: is going to play.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I've not heard on Jalen Hurts.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I would imagine that they're not going to properly, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: try to announce that that news it's going to come
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: down to, you know, if he's practicing at all, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: have a feeling he's not going to play.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But and I usually am the other.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Way around when it comes to like another team star player,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I'm like, he's playing, he'll play. But in this case
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: it's a concussion.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would I would like.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Usually have at least one game out right with the protocols.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Starting to look that way, and it has been for
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys. Every concussion is different, every player is different
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: all that. But uh, you know, I thought he was
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: going to go back in the game the other day.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Maybe I was just thinking that way because he was
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: on my face.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: He definitely tried.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: He tried.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, I'm.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: Good I'm good that he is.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is how bad I am. You know, I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: playing for fantasy football. I'm like, let him play, come on,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: let him go. He says he's good. He thumbs up,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: He's good. What are we doing here?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Terrible?
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: He definitely looks though. After he got up, he looked
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: like he wasn't all the way there. So I'm glad
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: they actually got him out of there. You know, he
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: don't one to shoot him hurt. No, Well for the
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Eagles man, we kind of beat the Eagles man. We
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: already lost. We had a hard fault game. We played
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: them all the way up to the to the halftime
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: six six yeah, and then they just let him run
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: away with it. I just that that just hurt my soul.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Was it was it six to six of the half
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: or where they scored that last little quick score like
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: a minute or so.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: That's right, That's right, that's what it was. Because I
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: think I'll get my games mixed up. I think that
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: was the one that Zeke fumbled down there inside the
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: red zone and then they drove and overshown for a
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: sack and uh and then the bottom kind of dropped
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: out there in the second half. But uh yeah, it'll
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: be competitive. I think it'll be a competitive game. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: think the weather is going to play a factor. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: think it's gonna be kind of a sloppy game, messy,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: you know. I think the Cowboys will have a shot
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: when you know, you have a shot to win these games.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So we'll see Hurts out.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: You know, that us a big boost. I mean the
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: other guy, he's doing all right, Miter Pickett. But yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: I mean that's just like saying, Hey, we're going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: put Cooper Rush in and I hope we win that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: I think they're going with the same thing. I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: we just need to be able to ball up there
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: running games and keep to keep the balls out of
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: their their top receivers man, and figure out a way
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: to run the ball. And we can figure out a
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: way to run the ball, because apparently we struggled last game.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: I mean it was it was. It was pretty bad. Yeah,
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, he couldn't really get nothing, and it just
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: made me think, like, dang, it's that what happens when
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: we played good defensive alignment, like and we've just been
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: running over bad things.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, that's part of it, and that's part of it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: That's been some of the success here is going up
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: against teams that aren't very good and taking advantage of that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: So yeah, well I hope for victory. We never want
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: to lose against Eagles. So go Cowboys. My score is
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: going to be twenty three seventeen. All right, I'm trigging
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: the old school score back. Love it, no Cowboys go?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: All right, sounds great. Thank you for Carolina being on
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: the road driving through Shreveport to Texas. All right, let's
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: go to Bruce. He's in Philly. That's where we're gonna be.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Bruce. What's up?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: Minie?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Are you now?
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: They say you're coming in hot, I'm coming in cold.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: I missed the beginning of the show, so I couldn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: hear what was going on.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I know you were on with Carolina, but I couldn't hear.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: So well, you know what, we had questions, but we
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: didn't answer that. Maybe somebody in Philly could answer. The
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: question was what's all status on Jalen Hurts? And I said,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. Maybe you've heard more
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: than we have.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, my understanding is he's probably gonna be
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: out just because of that rule of anything else. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: don't think he's been cleared yet. Okay, so I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: know what the rule is in terms of him being
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: cleared up until game time forty eight hours before at
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: least or something like that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm not one hundred percent of share.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's ninety minutes is before game time is
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: when he's got to be you know, he can be
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: clear to play.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the forty eight.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Hour rule, but uh, I honestly, the rules about concussion
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: protocol and all that's a little bit different. So, uh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: you know, he's gonna he's gonna have to practice. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: would think at some point during the weeks, Friday, today,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: maybe some Saturday to get him to play. But uh,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: maybe it's a situation where he's he's a backup, but
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: those are always sticky, you know, when he's the star quarterback.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. We'll see, we'll find out he's
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: gotta go. He's gotta go win one way or another.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, definitely, it'd be interesting to see what happens.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: So I called because I wanted to ask Nick because
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: it seems like, I mean, this is a great show.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: I listen as as much as I.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Can like all the time, but I can't call in.
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: All the time.
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: But I think that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: The quarterback position, especially for next year, is being underplay.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I know we're not into the autopsy part of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: season yet of dissecting the team. I'm on board with
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: bringing back all the coaching staff, but I'm wondering, like,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: you know, did we jump in on to be won
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: too soon and too like? For next year? I think,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: more importantly than anything, the backup quarterback position is the
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: most important position next year because I'm getting afraid that
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: we're entering that Romo territory where Romo got hurt against Carolina,
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: rebroke the collar, bron got hurt again in the preseason
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: next year, and I think Dak is entering that part
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: of his career and I'm afraid, like we're not giving
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: enough attention to what they're going to do next year
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: at the backup quarterback position.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well, would you resign Cooper Rush?
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I would not, because I think the position has evolved
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: in a sense where.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You need a guy that can turn bad.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: In the goods real quick. You see that with every
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: other quarterback, it seems in the NFL all.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Of them have a sense of mobility and Cooper Rush.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, the first trouble games got all slow Philly
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: in Houston. And I know that McCarthy has done a
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: great job of play calling around him, but you really
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: need a guy. And that's what made Dak so great
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: is that he could. He used to use his legs
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: on those third and four as those third and threes,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: We've had so many short yarded situations where we've ended
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: up punting, and I think that Rush doesn't give us that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And I'm afraid that I'm not I'm not even sure
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: that that gives us that anymore.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Trey Lance is a kind of guy, but you know.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: He's lacking in other things in a sense.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: So I would I would like to see the Cowboys.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Go if you're looking at a backup guy, I like
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Carson Wentz as an idea, if that's an option if
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: he doesn't get a job, or even somebody like Tyrod
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Taylor who's started before, who gives us that kind of
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: quarterback mobility.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: But Rush and even Dak is lacking.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: A little bit in that, and that scares me a little.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: All right, all right, well that that you know, that's
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: not going anywhere obviously, so that that that's you have
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: to build around it. And uh, I like the you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I like the fact that Cooper Rush comes into the
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: game and you're right, he doesn't bring that element that
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: you're looking at. And you obviously, you know, are looking
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: for that quarterback that can run and and and get
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: out of truckle a little bit.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: And even Joe Burrow can do that, right, you wouldn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: think of him as a classic run. But I mean,
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: I need somebody who can who can get us four
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: yards and even run to throw, you know. And I
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: feel like both of our quarterbacks are the same in
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: that way where that's lost a little in that and
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: the one game where he's trying to get back to
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: that you see got hurt. But we need I think
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: we need a guy who can kind of sometimes cover
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: up some of the band plays that our line just
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: makes at Toms. And I think most of the quarterbacks
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: around the league give you that a little bit.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: They do they also create that place sometimes as well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: you know, so there there's there's a good in the
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: bat here. Cooper Rush is not a guy that's gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: go and and and no one's ever gonna think he's
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Michael Vick but at the same time, but at the
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: same time, he's he's a solid quarterback that's not gonna
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: make a ton of mistakes. He knows exactly where the
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: ball is supposed to go and how to get rid
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: of it and kind of get out of the trouble,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: not by running but maybe by getting rid of the football.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: So there's good to that and there's bad. It's not flashy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: He's also one nine. He's nine and four as a starter.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: That's that's pretty that's pretty good, even if he loses
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: these next two games, and nine and six is a
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: starter as a backup, is that's pretty respectable for what
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: you want your backup to be. So me personally, I
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: know you disagree. I'm I'm trying to resign Cooper Rush
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: next year. I like I like the continuity that that
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: he has, especially if you've got McCarthy there. But I
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: do think there needs to be some changes in the uh,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: in the offensive coordinator, maybe maybe the play calling, some
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: tweaks there. Because it's agree they got it, they gotta
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: change some of it, all right, Bruce, appreciate the call.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you man. Hey, real quick, Bruce, are you going
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to the game. You're going to the game.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: It's too cold for me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: Nick.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: I'm going to some bad games, but not this winner. Uh,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: the stakes aren't high enough this time. I'm man to
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: set this one out their fair.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, fair.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: And also I'll throw another element to that too, because
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: what you're saying is it's cold in the game. The
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: stakes aren't high enough. But I can promise you the
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: tickets are are probably still pretty high.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if a going to be high.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: All right, it's still a cowboy games. So yeah, Nick,
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: hey man, you get up here and bring you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Cold all right, We definitely will do that. Thank you, Bruce,
• 13:47

• 15:06
  Speaker 12: think we should win his The only contention on is
• 15:09
  Speaker 12: Jaalen players and Jalen players. I think we're gonna lose
• 15:11
  Speaker 12: because Jalen Cooper had not beat Jailing yet. So but
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: if Jalen don't play, then we got a great chance.
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: And if we don't play, I think the Cowboys will
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: win twenty four twenty one something like that. But if
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: he does and of course I don't think we will.
• 15:27

• 15:54
  Speaker 12: the Ricos to I really wish somebody would come out

• 17:45
  Speaker 8: Sunday man something goofy, backup, quarterbacks, go over. It's everybody's
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: favorite treat. They moved it out of the fleg zone
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: or the prime time zone flex. Yeah, they did because
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: it was you know, it's going to be. I'm gonna
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: go twenty four to twenty three Cowboys, and my wife
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: and I are driving to Texas tonight and we're spending
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Christmas with my family for the next week. So I'll
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: get to watch a Cowboys game and a Texas Longhorns
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: game with my family for the first time in a
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: good while. So I'm hoping for some wins on both fronts.

  Speaker 8: But yeah, man, it's time to see what these number three,
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: four and five receivers got.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Sam Mingo, let's stam Tolbert. You know, that's a
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: spoon maker back involved. I feel like he hadn't had
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: any catches in the past game or two he was
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: he was doing well with Ferguson out, so just get
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: him going then, that's what we got to do.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it's safe to say he's
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: been about comparable when he was the starter. I have
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: to look at the stats, but you know, comparable to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: what Ferguson has been in there.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It's the starter too.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to stir up a tight end controversy
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: here or anything like that. But I'm just saying, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: that might be what the tight end one position gets you.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: Competition is good for business man's let's have two good
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: tight ends going for it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yep, for sure that's him.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Man. So oh, what's your what's your cheese steak preference?
• 19:23

• 19:36
  Speaker 5: it's like, just give me some combinations they get, Just

  Speaker 2: if I can't imagine where it's going to go in
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the next ten to fifteen twenty years, right, yeah, man,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: So you know we're coming down in August or so
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: for for camp, so that'd be cool. My wife actually

• 22:33
  Speaker 2: but she got me a plane ticket and I'll be
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: coming down just before that in July to do the
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the VIP tour of the stadium and all that fun stuff.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I've never been before, so i'd be really cool to
• 22:41

• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Nice in July.

• 22:53
  Speaker 5: you didn't hear the show, but he's in Philly, he said, hey,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: enjoy the trip. Bring your coat. I won't say that
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: you and when you come down here in July, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: won't be seeing that, so you don't need you don't
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: need that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll bring my storyline, sure, frame.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Here, cut off sleeves maybe you know, and turn it
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: into a tank top. Yeah, we don't talk weather, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I could tell you what July is going to feel
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: like here, and it's going to be like an oven.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So cool, nice, all right, nice as far as football goes, man,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: just real quick, I just wanted to give map prop
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: because I haven't heard many people talk about Mary's leafau
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the development he's had this season and what he's kind
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: of become. As far as the two games in a row,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: punching balls.
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: Out and stuff.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: He's hitting hard, hitting legal, which is just as important.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: But he's developing nicely.
• 23:36
  Speaker 13: Man.
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: I'm excited, he really is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: And then you know that looks like a good, solid
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: draft pick as well. Yeah, I like I like his game, smart,
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: smart player. You know, they gave him he can sing,
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: he can sing. The problem with that is that, you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: we try to do certain things with him, and you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: and singing and you gotta have copyrights to have everything. Anymore,
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: you can't even sing any song that you've ever heard of.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: So it's we neither write a storyliner song and give
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it to him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: You know what, if you know somebody that can kind
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: of create like a group of people and put them
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: on Twitter or something like that, and then y'all can
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: recruit that and then y'all can have singing competitions and
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: all that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fun.

• 27:33
  Speaker 9: coaching for his job. For these last two games, so
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: you know, no CD or anything for him to sound
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: the way he did. I'm thinking maybe something's already been told.
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: You know, he's been told. Hey, maybe we don't announce
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: it yet, but we're bringing me back. He just sounded really,
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: really good. I don't know if you heard his his
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: interview or anything, but he sounded like somebody that wasn't
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: they I just lost my best offensive play and I'm
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: coaching for my job and he's not available.
• 28:04
  Speaker 13: What do I do?
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: He sounded completely different. Then I had a couple of
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: people that I heard talking about him, Takuan's chance at
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: of rushing records. You know, he's still a couple of
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: hundred yards out, but he's done that already this year.
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: I think against the Rams or somebody. He went off
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: on him, and I was thinking, would fans be willing
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: to give him that rushing record against us as long
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: as we got the win in a somewhat meaningless game. Personally,
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: take it. I don't care if he rushes for five
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: hundred yards and we win by one point. I'm okay
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: with it. I want to win. But you know some
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: people may be like, no, it's a meaningless win. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: don't want him breaking that record against us, So I
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: don't know what your take on that is. I have
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: the Cowboys, Eric squeaking out, Eric.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Has the record, right, Eric, are you talking about the
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: correct yea? And yes, who who did he break it
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: against in week sixteen?
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: That I don't know?
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, me either, I'm talking about me take one breaking it. Yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: there you go exactly like.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Nobody would know. He knows that. That's just when they game. Yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: I see what you did there, and I agree, win
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: the game.
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: I got the Cowboys winning a close one. I have
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: a sixteen fourteen somehow pulling it out. I think the
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: defense is going to keep us in it. I don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: know how we're going to score many points, but I
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: find it. I see his scoring just enough. Okay, So
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: I hope you guys have a great weekend, no Cowboys,
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: and we'll talk to you next week hopefully.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: All right. Sounds good, Thanks Champ. Good to hear from you. Yeah.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's interesting, and he's got he's got
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: a long ways to go to break the record. The record.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: I mean I looked this up. I mean, Eric Dickerson
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: had like twenty one hundred yards like twenty one oh five.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: He's at eighteen thirty. He's trying to get the two
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: hundred yard I mean two thousand yards. Uh, and you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: not a lot of players have ever done that. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: think it's like seven or eight. So I mean he
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: could get there. I mean, he could get twenty one
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: hundred if if that's all that that they're trying to do.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: But you know they're they're they're trying to win the game,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: and you know, they shook got a lock up the division,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: and then they're trying to get home field advantage throughout
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: the playoffs and that number one seed. Now, I'll say
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: all that if if hurts is even if he plays
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: he's banged up, or if he doesn't play, the focus
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: is going to be on running the ball and trying
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: to you know, let your other star players, you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: make him plays those games that that Aikman didn't play,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, they they leaned on Emmett even more in
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: those games and rightfully so. So it's not a bad strategy.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Get the ball to Barkley. He's been you know, in
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: my opinion that I don't have an MVP vote, I
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: would vote him as the MVP. I know it's a
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: quarterback award now and the and the Offensive Player of
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: the Years is a non quarterback award, is what it
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: seems like. But you know, if you're gonna call it
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: an MVP Most Valuable Player, I would say it's Saquon
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Barkley for me, for what he's done to the league,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: to that team. They had Hurts, they had Brown, they
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: had you know, all those guys. He's coming here and
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: changed things. He's brought some value there, Josh Allen, and
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean, if they're not going to give
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: it to my homes every year, it's kind of like
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Michael Jordan. If you're not going to do that, then
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: then then switch it up. But I think Barkley should
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: be worthy of MVP votes because I think he's brought
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of value there.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: For sure. Let's go to Randy and san Antonio is
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: our next caller. Randy, Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: I'm doing great, Great Christmas. I'll throw my movie in
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: real quick, The Original Miracle on thirty fourth Street, and
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: then I love Vacation as well. Uh nice, real quick.
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: I got a it was really fun. I got to
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: call an audible. I was going to call and talk
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: a little bit about one of the coaches on the staff.
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: You know, you become fans of guys for different reasons.
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: But I got to talk to Daron Woods them, so
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: that was probably even better than talking about the coach.
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, But you know, we talked about the higher ups,
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: and we've talked a lot about whether we want something
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: to change or not. And I always think, man, if
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: you change the head coach, you're starting over to some degree,
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: and where do you go from there? But I was
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: stationed in Kingsville, Texas from nineteen ninety four to nineteen
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: ninety six, and I had a great secondary on that team.
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: But their main cornerback was a guy that started out
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: in Tampa Bay, then he went to Philadelphia, then he
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: went to Green Bay, and now he's coaching with Dallas.
• 32:42
  Speaker 11: So yeah, it's Al Harris. You know where does that
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: leave guys like that? Right? I think most people would
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: like for him to stay. But at some point, I
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: think if you bring in a new coach, you say, hey,
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: you get to bring your own guys in. But I
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: think most of the fans would love to keep Alhera here.
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: But what do you got to do to do that
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: if you go one of these different directions. I'm not
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: a big fan of when you've had so much success
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: starting over. Just something to think about. Yeah, I think
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: it's going to be kind of a wild game this
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: weekend with Philadelphia, so we'll see what happens. I probably
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: lean towards Philadelphia win in though I hate doing it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: Score something kind of crazy. Thirteen cannot like what people think.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: And you're one of the few people that probably know
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: what a have Alna is.
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: Well, I do know what a Haveleena is for a
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: long time. You know, when they would score when I
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: was there, they would throw tortillas in the air. And
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: now I'll tell you I was all in on the Havelinas.
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: While I was stacing there. Al Harris had an interception
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: in a game, and it's probably the most excited I've
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: ever been, you know, during a sporting ben up to
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: that point. And then the game was one of the
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: most disappointed I'd ever been because they had seven guys
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: that went into the NFL from the two years I
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: was there.
• 34:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and end.
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: Up losing in the playoffs to UC Davis.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Got it Division two football there.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, My college, Midwestern State, played a and m Kingsville
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: several times. Havelna is a is a hog. It's not
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: a razorback because Z only one razorback, but it's like that.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: It kind of looks like that that as well the logo.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Randy, but yeah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: Real quick, I don't think when I was there, I
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: don't think Midwestern State had a team because I grew
• 34:41
  Speaker 11: up in the Witch Tap Falls area as well.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Ninety one came back, came back in ninety one.
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: Football was I went in the Navy in nineteen ninety.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, ninety one came back. All right.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: I'm glad they did because they had some facilities that
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys used for training camp.
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: And that's how camp got you in the door.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Screw me up.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, all right, Randy, appreciate that good stuff.

• 36:45
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna it's gonna bring me back to what's kind
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: of been on my mind here the last I would
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: say twelve to twenty four hours. So I'll tell you what, man,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I don't feel old. But when you start losing people
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: that you went to college with. Second roommate in college,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: he's from North Carolina, a huge Cowboy fan, and he
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: passed away over over the last couple of days, shocking.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: So I'll tell you what, its life is so short.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: I don't have to say that to you guys. You
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: guys know that, but sometimes we get these reminders about it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: So my man, Zach, he was a big Cowboy fan
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: and he's living in North Carolina, or he was and
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: living in North Carolina. So it's just a sad deal.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: That's what I got the news last night. Hearing from
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: a buddy like, hey, how's it going. Then you realize, oh,
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: you're calling for bad news, like not good. So anyways,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: hug your friends, call your friends, you love ones, all
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: that stuff.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: You guys know it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: But uh, yeah, he was a huge Cowboy fan. Man,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: always talk talk to Cowboy football. So all right, let's go.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: But now we do have a caller from North Carolina.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: That's what brought me to that. So Eric in North Carolina. Eric,
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: what's up?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Man? Hey Nick, how's it going good?
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: I am sorry for your loss. And Zach that was
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: sad to hear.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just saw him a couple of years ago. A
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: couple of years ago, got to he flew in. We
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: got to hang out at our at our old college
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: in Midwestern state. It was a homecomings. We got to
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: hang out, but we were playing on another trip at
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: some point to do that. So anyways, life is life
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: is short.
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: At least y'all got to hang out that time, though,
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: you know, you got to. You got some memories.
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: Sure.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: But I like your question that you posed earlier as
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: far as like what's the biggest disappointment, and like what's
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: the the happiest thing. I guess you might say, yeah, just.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Your biggest surprise, you know, like a pleasant surprise and
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: then a disappointment.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: What about.
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: Well, my biggest surprise was actually the play of Josh
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: Butler corner h and then my biggest my biggest disappointment
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: was the numerous season ending injuries, especially the key players.
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: But it kind of gives me a hope for next year.
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: I thought Josh Butler played really nice. Wish I had
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: so many corner uh injuries, and definitely don't like the
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: play of injury Booth. He's got like no technique. I
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: think he's just very poor.
• 39:15
  Speaker 11: And then.
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: He's made a couple of plays, but he's still blottle average.
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: But uh, you know, Butler heels from his A C
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: l U injury. I'm looking forward to see him play
• 39:28
  Speaker 10: some more next year.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Butler's he was just a fighter. You know that
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Washington game, he was just scrapping. I mean, they they
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: kept throwing at him and he was giving up plays.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, he was part of that long touchdown. Uh
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: you know that that that tied the game or almost
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: tied the game. They they didn't have to make extra
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: points in the league to tie the game.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, I mean he was part of that too.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: But still, there was something about his play.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: Was he was he was fighting, man. It was it
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: was a tough injury. But you know, the whole cornerback
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: and they were just they were just you know, trying
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: to figure out who to play next. And you know
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: over here and Butler here and Booth and Kayln Carson.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: I mean it was it was not not to be expected.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: It was supposed to be Digs and Bland and then
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: you know in Jordan Lewis, that's what it was supposed
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: to be and certainly didn't work.
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: They played one, I know, yeah, yeah, I thought Butler,
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: I think he had like good savvy and good anticipation.
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: He seemed like he understands the game real well. But
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: but yeah, just the injuries to like Overstone and Prescott
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: and Lawrence and then you know Parsons for those like
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: what five games and Martin and uh, you know, on
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: and on and on. But I still enjoy watching the
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: Cowboys play. You know, I watched them all winter lose.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Well, you know there's been a lot of disappointment this
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: year obviously, Yeah, but you know it's it's I would
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: throw Jake Ferguson in there is you know, just the
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: disappointment that we didn't see him take that next level.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: You know that that was that was one that I wanted.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: I thought he would kind of do that and take
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: that he got injured. So it's not just it wasn't
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: just all uh just that he caught me, caught fifty
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: pass or so. But but just you know, not, it
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: just wasn't that next level that I thought maybe he
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: had in him.
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, is that his third year?
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, he's okay, Yes, I mean he's up for contract.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: I mean he could, he could. No, he's not up
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: for a contract. He's got one more year. But I
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: mean they could give they want.
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: They probably will not, but yeah, I wouldn't mind letting
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: him go in free agency and maybe by then, you know,
• 41:50
  Speaker 10: Schoonmaker will be you know, developed. I think I think
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: Scoonmaker is a good receiver. He surprised me the few
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: times he's called a pass. He seemed like a real
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: smooth receiver. I think he just got to continue to
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: work on his blocking and different things.
• 42:04
  Speaker 13: Of course.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Anyways, all right, well appreciate it, Eric, have a nice I.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: Hope you have a perfect day. Oh and one quick thing,
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: a shout out to my step.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Daughter Ashley who's getting married tomorrow.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Nice, Well, good luck with that, and uh yeah that
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: should be awesome. Awesome there little Christmas, New Year's wedding
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: and good stuff. All right, let's go to Josh. He's
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: next in Chicago. Josh, what's up man?
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: Not much?
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: How you doing today.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good.
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: Thanks for calling, Yes, sir, Yeah, I kind of agree
• 42:39
  Speaker 17: with one of the other callers about Mike It's out,
• 42:41
  Speaker 17: you know, shutting down CD. I kind of wonder if
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: he's already got something working about a new contract, which
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: you know, I'm okay with, especially if we make a
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: few changes or tweets on the offensive side. But talking
• 42:53
  Speaker 17: about backup quarterbacks for next year, I agree with you.
• 42:55
  Speaker 17: I mean, like, if they resigned Cooper Rush, I'm gonna
• 42:57
  Speaker 17: be okay with that. I kind of want to Trey
• 43:00
  Speaker 17: Lancy's last two games, though, you know, let's see what
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: he has and to try to evaluate him. You know,
• 43:06
  Speaker 17: I don't think there's any meaningless games where you can
• 43:08
  Speaker 17: evaluate players. So make it mean something by getting being
• 43:11
  Speaker 17: him a chance maybe and see what he can actually
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: do in this offense and see where it goes. Maybe
• 43:15
  Speaker 17: he are back up next year, who knows.
• 43:17
  Speaker 13: But yeah, I'm going sorry, no, I.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I hear you.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: That's that's what's made this whole thing kind of tricky,
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: with the two quarterbacks both being unrestricted free agents next year,
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: and you're kind of trying to see what the plan is,
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: what what are they trying to do and who are
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: they trying to evaluate for what you know, and for who?
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: So I it's.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Showing me that they they are leaning towards Cooper Rush,
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: trying to bring him back, trying to you know, keep
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: keep it going with him. And I don't know if they,
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, if they need to see Trey Lance. It
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: just seems like a fourth round pick that they just
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: gave away. Honestly.
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean you might be right about that too, right,
• 43:55
  Speaker 17: Like that might be the saying, hey, we're done with him.
• 43:57
  Speaker 17: Because Cooper Rush has been serviceable and especially when the
• 44:01
  Speaker 17: line plays well and he actually has some time to throw,
• 44:04
  Speaker 17: he can make some good throws. He's made some, you know,
• 44:06
  Speaker 17: obviously poor ones. But he's a backup, you know, so
• 44:09
  Speaker 17: there's a reason why he's not a starter. Yeah, but
• 44:11
  Speaker 17: he's been a serviceable backup. So I'm not trying to
• 44:13
  Speaker 17: disrespect him at all. He's won games. You know, he's
• 44:15
  Speaker 17: got to get winning record as as a starter, so
• 44:18
  Speaker 17: you know, he does good stuff.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think he has been everything you
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: would want to for a backup quarterback to be. I mean,
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: other than more mobile, you want that, but but you know,
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: sometimes those guys are pretty erratic too with the ball.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: If they're a backup quarterback, that's that's that could run
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: around like that, then there's the reason why he doesn't start.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: And then sometimes that that kind of surfaces throughout the game.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: So I'll take solid and take care of the football.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: But that's something that Cooper Rice has got to do.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: You know, he doesn't he fumbles sometimes. I mean, he's
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: not a he's not a great athlete, you know. And
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: you know you see Bake Mayfield caught like six six
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: of these snaps. Well high low. Same with Dak Romo
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: was great at it. The ball's not right here for
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Cooper Rush. Sometimes the other team has it in its
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: first down. So that's you gotta live with that, all right.
• 45:16
  Speaker 17: For the Oh sorry for this week. I'm just I'm
• 45:18
  Speaker 17: predicting the Cowboys win. I think this defense is just
• 45:20
  Speaker 17: playing so well. I think Mike Karl Lawson playing well
• 45:23
  Speaker 17: and obviously lea foul. I hopefully Kendrick Field's back on
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: the field. But I'm going now Cowboys twenty eight and
• 45:29
  Speaker 17: we'll go Eagles seventeen.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, that would be it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 17: I don't think Hurt's plays though, that would be.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Hey, don't feel sorry for anybody. So all good, all
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: good if that happens. Now Pickett, you know, I mean
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: he's he's a good quarterback.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I mean he was.
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: I mean a couple of good years for the for
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: the Steelers. You know, I think he was seven, seven
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: and ten. I think I saw that seven and five.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: It was seven and five, two years in a row
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: as a starter. So he's fourteen and ten as a
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: starter with Pittsburgh. They moved on obviously, and and now
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: you know, but he I saw him in the game.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: He wouldn't feel in that great either, had some ribs injuries.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: They still they should have won that game. He had
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: a perfect pass there on fourth quarter, should have one,
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: should have locked up the division. How different would things
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: be now if that's the case. So we'll see. All right,
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: let's go to another caller here. Paul is in Racine, Wisconsin.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: Did I say that right? Racine?
• 46:21
  Speaker 13: You did? It's great to seek you. I go back
• 46:24
  Speaker 13: to I think it was when I first started listening
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: to you and Derek, like around two thousand and seven,
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: and I think you had some young lady and who
• 46:33
  Speaker 13: was from Wisconsin. I forget she moved down, but I
• 46:36
  Speaker 13: just remember listening. Yeah, I think it was right around that.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I think Da Wall was from Wisconsin. That's right, Yeah,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: Well, because the fact that I'm having to figure out
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: how to say it racine, which means I've never said
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: it before, which means first time caller, which means.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: So no, it's good to finally speak guy. I listen
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: as much as I can on the app and through
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: the internet. But a couple of things about the Comboys
• 47:10
  Speaker 13: that I wanted to talk to you about. Number one
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: you met biggest surprise it has to be Rico Dabbo.
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: And let me just let me just say why. I
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: think when you think about, like in any employment situation, right,
• 47:24
  Speaker 13: you're competing against peers, and it would have been really
• 47:28
  Speaker 13: easy for him to shut down after they re signed Ezekiel,
• 47:32
  Speaker 13: like what, I'm not good enough, And he never did that.
• 47:35
  Speaker 13: He just kept his head down, kept working, and now
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: he's a thousand yard rusher and he's proven that he
• 47:41
  Speaker 13: deserves the rock. He's the main guy. He deserves the rock.
• 47:45
  Speaker 13: Biggest disappointment, and I kind of watch your thoughts on
• 47:47
  Speaker 13: this is for me, Tyler Goydon, just because he didn't
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: show enough to me to prove that he can be
• 47:55
  Speaker 13: that dominant left tackle that we've had historically for a
• 47:59
  Speaker 13: very long time. He's a Cowboys offensive line and do
• 48:04
  Speaker 13: you think he at any point there in the season
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: he made business decisions?
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: I won't say that because that now I'm just going
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: down a road that I don't know, Like, I don't
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: know that. You you can say that and I know
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: exactly what you're saying and what you're you're referring to.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I I don't.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know that, and I don't I don't know
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: him well enough to say that's what I think is happening.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: I'll agree with you though it wasn't a good It
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: wasn't a good rookie year for a first round pick.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: And we've said that's two years in a row now
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: that the first round pick has been disappointing. There's more
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: to it than just talent. You know, he comes in
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: the game the other day and you know, gives up
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: a sack. Just it just doesn't he just not as
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: plugged in as he is he is. He feels like
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: he should be the fact that he's not even starting
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: and and that's that's not it's which is not it's
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: not ideal. You you expected more. They they wanted this
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: Tyler Smith, That's what they wanted. They wanted to.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Draft a guy like that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: Now they knew he was going to be a little
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: bit of a of a a more of a project.
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: But to this point, I think that's still somewhat disappointing
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: that he is not starting over too many Doga because
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: too Manydoga is a better left tackle than him.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: That's I think a disappointing part.
• 49:22
  Speaker 13: I agree. I just I see him and you mentioned
• 49:25
  Speaker 13: the number one pick from the year prior Mazzie. I
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: look at him and I just don't see like one
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: hundred percent effort. I mean, Mazzie can't get off blocks. Man,
• 49:35
  Speaker 13: he just can mac get off a block. I don't
• 49:38
  Speaker 13: know what it is with that guy, but you know,
• 49:42
  Speaker 13: I just see it like a lack of real hardcore
• 49:45
  Speaker 13: effort there. And that's just me. The other thing I
• 49:47
  Speaker 13: wanted to ask you about. You know, we're seeing like
• 49:50
  Speaker 13: the you know, teams later in the year when they
• 49:53
  Speaker 13: substitute players in, they're fresher, they give you more than
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: maybe some of your everyday start. Could you ever see
• 50:01
  Speaker 13: a situation, particularly now with the Lincoln season where you're
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: platooning guys a little bit, and I know they put
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: people on pitch counts like Mica and stuff like that,
• 50:12
  Speaker 13: But I just think that you see, like across the league,
• 50:15
  Speaker 13: not just the Cowboys, but across the league, when you
• 50:18
  Speaker 13: bring in guys halfway two thirds of the way through
• 50:22
  Speaker 13: the season who maybe haven't played a lot, they seem
• 50:24
  Speaker 13: to be fresher and they give you more. What's your
• 50:27
  Speaker 13: thoughts on that?
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: Well, all right, I appreciate the call, Paul, Well, we're
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: up against it time wise. I'll answer that as quickly
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: as I can. I mean that there's always give and take.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: There's give and take when when you're talking about resting
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: players and you know fresh players, you also want the
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: guy you know he's not starting for a reason, so
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: you're giving up something there. And because of the way
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: it is with salary cap and all that, every no
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: one has a ton of depth to just be bringing
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: these guys in with no drop off. So there's there's
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: cases you could make where guys do come in and
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: there they are fresh and they're good, But what what
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: is what are their warts? What what's the reason why
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: they don't start? Is it you know, just just because
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: there's too many good players, because there's not a lot
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: of teams that have that luxury. So I think you
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: got to just you pick your spots. It comes down
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: to the coaching, It comes down to the preparation, comes
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: down to to the overall scheme of you you know,
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: buying in uh. You know these running backs that are
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: that are paying attention and what's going on in the
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: meetings and practice and all that, so that means when
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: they do get their turn, they're ready to go. I
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: think it comes down to coaching more than it comes
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: down to rest and things like that, because I think
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: you want your best players to play. I hear what
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: you're saying, but I think that there's there's times where
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: it's more more than just rest and and fresh legs.
• 51:55
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: It's a combination of a lot of things, and I
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: think it's probably a lot more of a discussion. And
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: we have time for here because we are rolling into
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: the next show, Cowboys Breaks coming up next here in
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: a few minutes. So for everyone, thanks a lot of
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: good calls today, ten calls got the first time callers.
