  Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Jillette. It's Wednesday,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: June the third. I'm Nick Eatman, and let's talk about
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: some Dallas Cowboys football. To see. If we're going to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: talk about Dallas Cowboys football, I have a feel we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: might be talking about some other teams moves that have
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: been making around the NFL. It just kind of happens
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: when we move over to June. But let's do it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Eight aight, eight a fi five two two nine seven
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is the number to call. We already have a couple
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of callers on the line, so let's get to it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Davion and Illinois. Let's start us off.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: What to do?
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: My boy?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: What to do?
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: How you doing and doing great? Doing great? Pretty much
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: happened that we got ot A this week, So looking
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: forward to seeing what everybody running around and short some
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: T shirts but they and some helmets, but uh, it'd
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: be good to see us see you'll see some things
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: going on football wise, getting closer to that training camp,
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: so getting a little excited.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yep, definitely getting getting close. Well, I mean training camp
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: is now next month officially, so that's uh, that's as
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: weird as that sounds.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: What you got, Yeah, yeah, pretty much as I was curious. Yes,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: one of my first questions is what are you for
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: the mini camp? What are you looking forward to there?
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: Because I know as pretty much walk through seven or
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: seven eleven eleven, so you're doing very much. But what
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: about mini camp? Were you be forward to there?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, for me, like I just kind of look
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to see like when mini camp, I mean it's hard
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to tell like who's in the right position and stuff
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like that, So I'm kind of unlike everybody else, I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: looking at the at the guys that are making the catches,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: making the throws. You know, is the cornerback close to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the coverage is he making a play on the ball,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, what does the pass rush sort of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: look like and the moves and stuff like that. But again,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know, it's tough to tell until the pads come on.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: But I always just kind of look at first of all,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: who's there, how they're looking, how they're catching on some
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of the things on some of the drills that you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: can see, but you don't put a ton of stock
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: into it knowing that it's really more of a teaching
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: session and the installment.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Gotcha, gotcha, Well, I guess a cowboy p a. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: know we had to betray with a gartt moving around
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: yesterday day before whatever, But I honestly I'm gonna take
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: the take the same stance as a Seattle's coach. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: don't really care. I really focus on what we got
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: going on here. I think we we got something cooking.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Of the injured guys don't don't come. Hanna's very good.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Then we should be all right, because at the end
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: of the day, I don't think we was ever gonna
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: get geared anyway. So it's fine. I think we're just
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: gonna do what we need to do. Focus on us,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: and let's go do what we gotta do.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: All right now. I mean, that's all you can do, really,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, thanks for the call, Davion. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: mean there's really it's really all you can do. You
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: can't worry about that. I mean, it's it's yeah. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: did we not think the rams were gonna be really good. Yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean they're they're, they're good, and they got even
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: better for for this year. I mean like they they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they they This is a pretty pretty big all in,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, move for them considering what they gave up.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And they gave up a lot, but they got a lot.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So one of those trades that I think works for
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for teams. I'm not going to sit here, and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's weird when when other when fans try
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to you know, we call it the wham factor. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what about me? Everything is always what about me? What
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: about me? Why why didn't we do this? Why couldn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we do this? Why didn't Jerry do this? Well, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it's really easy. I mean they don't have verse. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: mean they don't have that. They don't have the peace
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to do that. You could trade some of the other
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you know, first round picks of next year in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: year and you can do all of that. But it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was I think it was very clear that, I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: if we're going to give up Miles Garrett, we better
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: get a guy that's maybe on his way to being
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that and and then and that's a stretch, but I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: mean that that's as close as you're you're going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: get to a really young, you know, superstar pass rusher,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: which is just what they they definitely have. So all right,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: let's go to a Casey Joe in Kansas City.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: Good morning, How.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Are you doing?
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: Fairly good, it's really good.
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: Hey, I didn't get to.
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: Talk to you about the schedule, but what I see
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: in the schedule is the later half is all warm
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: climate other than Washington at the very end, and uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: you got your wife has to be happy with the
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: Christmas because yeah, we got Jacksonville there and we're at home,
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: so I bet she'll be.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Happy this year.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, I mean yeah, everybody, everybody that travels was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: happy to see that one on Christmas, and then everybody
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: happy to see whoever is out there on the you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on the field. And in the cold weather. Sounds like
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you're in some cold weather.
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, if you're in Kansas City, we get
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: some weather, yeah, but not near as bad as the North,
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: so I can't complain too much.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So So what do you got? What do you what
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: do you got for me?
• 5:43
  Speaker 10: Look?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: The other thing is do you think that Dallas maybe
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: look at bringing Cooper brush back since uh? Or do
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: you think he's just old news, our playbook in our system.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well thanks for the call, all right, have
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a good one, Thank you, Joe. You know, I like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I mean I thought he was he was solid,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but you know, and he can he can win some games.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But the thing about it is, your defense is not
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: anywhere close to what it was when he played here.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You got to have a team, you know, that could
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: lean on. I mean, he could lean on a defense
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: there and they could win games, just you know, like
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's not a big time playmaker.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And then you know, we saw it when he did
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get in what two seasons ago, and it was it
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was a different story. I mean, he won some, but
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it's not really the same. So basically what I'm saying
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is a quarterback like that, I think needs a lot
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of help around him, and he didn't. Really he doesn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have that right now. So I don't see a big
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: difference in what they have with with Sam Howe. Joe,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton, I think you'ld go a little bit younger there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I don't like to say old news because you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that's that's just the nature of the business. But I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: think for you know, he had a good run when
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he was here, and he was much better player than
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: everyone thought he was was. And and you know when
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: when the season that Dak got hurt and he had
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to come in, it was like, well, you know, let's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: start the draft show. I mean it was like week
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: two and he comes in and I think they won
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: what four in a row, four out of five or
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: something like that. And he was really really strong and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: much better than people thought. But I don't think this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it's the time to probably do that. All right, we
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: got phone lines open here. Eight eight eight eight five
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: five two two nine seven is the number to call
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: unless Chris, unless there is a caller Brian in Kansas City.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Don't see it on my sheet, Brian, what's up man?
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: Good morning?
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: How are you man?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you?
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: I'm doing great?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Sir.
• 7:52
  Speaker 11: Hey, you know, let me ask you this because it'll
• 7:54
  Speaker 11: I'll change my question if the answer is no, has
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: there been any media availability to the OTAs or have
• 8:01
  Speaker 11: you been able to be out there at all yet?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's not till tomorrow, tomorrow.
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: Tomorrow, Okay, Yeah, So because the thing I want to
• 8:09
  Speaker 11: know the only thing we really learn at this stage
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: is who's lining up where and who's lining up first team,
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: second team, third team. Right, That's that's all you can
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: learn right now. That's you know. And because for me
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: with the thing I'm looking at is for corners, between
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: Revel and Durant and Bland, who's lining up but the
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: first team, I'm really kind of I'm really interested in
• 8:35
  Speaker 11: that because I think it could be anyone, any combination
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: of those. I think Bland's a sure thing, but I
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: think the other side it could be any combination. I'd
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: be curious who's lining up with the ones, But obviously
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: you don't know that yet, So I'll just I'll just
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: throw out a different question. So looking at the linebackers,
• 8:54
  Speaker 11: and I guess we're saying Barham is a linebacker first
• 8:58
  Speaker 11: and then maybe a chess piece in the in the
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: past rush game as a secondary position. What do you
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: think about our depth in the just of those four
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: guys Shamar James over shown, Barham and Winters, and I
• 9:15
  Speaker 11: don't I know there's a there's a fifth guy in there,
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: and I.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Don't know his name.
• 9:19
  Speaker 11: You think maybe he was on the practice squad last year.
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: Justin that's it just just curious, do you have an opinion,
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: do you want another guy? And I'm personally okay going
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: into at least the first set of workouts with the
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: guys we have just to see what we got. I'll
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: hang up and listen. Good to talk to you man.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. Thanks for the call, Brian, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you right about the cornerbacks, you know, when you talk
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: about that was your first point. You know, we'll we'll
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: see kind of who who lines up there. They have
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys that that have played in the league,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and Darrin Kendricks the first one that kind
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of comes to mind. But it just seems like they
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: just threw a lot of guys in the position and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: hoping that something sticks, hoping that Calen Carson, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: can can have a I would say, bounce back. He
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: just has to stay healthy. And he's when he's been
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: on the field, he's he's been able to show us
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: some things. You know, Revel needs to get back and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and and kind of get one hundred percent and just
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: kind of get his body, you know, back back to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: where he was, you know, before he was drafted. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that that you know, the show
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ups the player that everyone thought he could be. And
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you know he's going to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: be a big time player. But he's just got to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: get out there and do that and bland.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys at cornerback that have
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: some things to prove. Either they've been on other teams,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: or they've been injured, or they they just haven't. Their
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: careers isn't exactly where we thought it would be, so
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that that makes for a really good competition hopefully, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: then you know, you just kind of see if somebody
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: kind of rises to the top. Now, as for the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: linebacker spot, the guys you mentioned are the are the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: four that are you know, leading leading the charge. You
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: know that they'll have some some other names that they
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: could throw in there, but for the most part, you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it's these four and and the way they play the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: three four. I mean, you're you're you're talking about first team,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: second team, and we're talking about two starters really, so
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that that should be enough to kind of get it
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: done and also have some guys help it on special teams.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So overshown in winners, I would think are your are
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: your first two and then Shamar James and Barham after that. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I do believe Barham is a linebacker and inside linebacker
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: at that and he's going to have to kind of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: adjust to this position. But he's done it before in college,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: so it's not like it's gonna be a huge adjustment.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you know in college, if if
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you're a player, I mean, they're gonna put you at
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: any spot to kind of you know, create some havocs.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So you know it's okay to play him here. It's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: same with like guards and tackles. I mean, you might
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: play him tackle in college because he can and he
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: can stop the right, you know, edge rushers, but he's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: going to be a guard in the pro. We've seen
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that several times. And I think that's kind of what
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the case was with with bar Haam whatever he was doing,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: same with lt Overton, whatever they were doing rushing off
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the edge and stuff like that. They could do that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: get away with it in college, but in the pros
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you have a better spot. And and and I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: bar Barham is the guy that that will be a linebacker.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with those four. I'm fine with it. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I've said this before on here. I think Shamar James
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just needs to grow a little bit. I mean, he
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just needs to to to develop into the player. I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this is a fifth round pick and he's he's he's light,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he can get to the football and he when he
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: gets there, I mean it, he reminds me a little
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: bit of lea foul in the way that they kind
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of attack the ball and and they get there, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they still kind of have to know where they're going
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think James will do a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: good job and in that year two development. All right,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: let's go Randy in Texas Canon, Randy, what's up?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: Okay?
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: I never call in and Ben, but let me Ben.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: I have talked about male Garrett more than any collar
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: you have. I've brought up all the time. And to
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: bring him in and tear him up with Twinn Williams
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: would be a monster line. And then the Rims do
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: what they do. We could have made that same trade
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: and even one upped it with two seconds, because you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: our history shows we blow our seconds most of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: time anyways, and give them the you know as rock
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: going out with the whole bit. Now they even talking
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: about bringing in Donaldson. Oh my, oh my, I'm this
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: is killing me anyway. What I need from you is
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: make me that that's done, so now we need to
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: move on. Make me feel better. Please tell me you've
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: heard any kind of rumors or whispers that maybe we're
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: gonna do something because we we missed on that that
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: would have been and he won't come to Dallas.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Who I mean, like, who are you giving up?
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: You give up as a Rocker and are one and
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: two two? That's one elp and what the Rams just
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: did and it's pretty much the same trade, and you
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: cannot tell me that couldn't have been pulled off.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You don't you think that's the same trade?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Do you really?
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: I absolutely do? How do you not?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Because I've seen I've seen Verse because I've been to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: training camp. I'm sorry, because I've been to training camp
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and I've watched a Verse go up against the guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we've got. Well, that's I don't think. I don't think
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Verse and as a Rocky are on the same level
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: right now. I really don't hope. So, man, well, if.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: That happened to sprinkle that too, if you sprinkle that
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: two on there, does that not kind of balance that
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: out a little?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean what I'm saying, Yeah, you're saying the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: two instead of that third, that they get three.
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because they did a one, two and three. So anyway,
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: I know, you really can't talk about that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: That's another thing I like.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And I like Azeraku, I really do. And he looks
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: he looks like a big guy. I mean, he looks
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like he's put on some pretty good weight what he needed.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But he's versus the key to that whole trade. I mean,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: because they to the Browns, I think they're just saying,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to restart it. We're gonna we're gonna take
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: what we have and we're gonna get some picks out
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of it. And we started. I think there was a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: better trade for them, probably than what the Cowboys did
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: with Micah, just because of what they didn't get that guy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: With Micah. They got an older defensive tackle, but they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: didn't get kind of a pseudo replacement type.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: I don't know, I just I can't say it like
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: you do.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: I don't.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: My goggles are different colored.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: I don't.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and maybe maybe it could have been. I mean,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, I don't know. If you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: know and then I don't know how how the money
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: fits and all that. I'm sure it would have been
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: fine that they could they could make it work.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: But you know, well with that being said, them jokers
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: are gonna be tough to get by, and we've got
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: more schedule. So that's why, that's why I want. You
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: made me feel better and saying yeah, I've heard some
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: I know if you actually heard some of you can't
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: technically tell me.
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: That's all.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything. I haven't heard that you're going
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to do anything.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: I just need something.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't know. I mean, all right, buddy,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have a good one. I'm not. I just don't get
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: too concerned about what what another team in another division does.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, like they're good, Like they're already on a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: different level than the Cowboys, so you know that's we
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we know that they're just they're in a much better
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: position to do that. I mean when when you think
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: about it, because you talk about pieces that they could trade,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys. Who what do the Cowboys have?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Will the Cowboys have like a veteran you know, quarterback
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that makes a lot of money? Well, so to the Rams, Okay, well,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys have two really good wide receivers. Well, so
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to the Rams. Okay, well, you know, then then you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: go to the defensive side and then their version of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: versus is Quinn Williams, who they just traded for, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it's just not not gonna, not gonna move the needle,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: probably as much as as that trade for Miles Garrett
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and what they they did. So I just the Rams
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: are in a better position to do it. Let's not
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: compare that. They they they did that, they had the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: better pieces to do that, and they have the ability
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to kind of be that one player away to get
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: over their division rival who just won the Super Bowl.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So it's a little different situation. You can compare it
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: if you want to. I just don't know if it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a fair comparison. But then again, it's June the third,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So what else we're gonna do?
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: All right?
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Sergeant Sue and fort Worth? What's up?
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: Patty's everybody?
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: How you doing it good?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: How are you man?
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: Good?
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: But I'm in a smaller conference roo right now, so
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: I gotta keep it a little bit quieter.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: But I want to get in man.
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: It's been a while.
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: I I got the kiddo that just arrived not long ago.
• 17:59
  Speaker 13: But I want to get in real quick.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: I wanted to get in real quick. I'll make three
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: really quick points. Well, one's the question I wanted to
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: ask you because I thought like, with Caleb Downs coming
• 18:09
  Speaker 13: here and all the hype around him and all the
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: Woody comparisons, I kind of feel like, maybe, you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: ten years, twenty years down the line, we may look
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: back and be like Caleb Downs getting here and emerging
• 18:20
  Speaker 13: as who we feel he can be may be the
• 18:24
  Speaker 13: reason why Woody finally got the respect he deserves and
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: into the Hall of Fame. Because of all the comparisons
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: that he's gonna draw, people are going to remember what
• 18:33
  Speaker 13: Woodson was, and people who may not have seen him
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: are going to look into it, and the curiosity is
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: going to make them start kind of, you know, scratching
• 18:40
  Speaker 13: at that and figuring out, you know, the type of
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: player that he really was. And I was just wondering
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: if you agree with that, I could take that offline.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: The second thing is I just want to encourage, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 13: know how me, I'm an encouraging person. I want to
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: encourage people. Don't get so caught up on what your
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: neighbor's doing that you forget how greenyear grass is. I mean,
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: I feel like the Jerry and company have been doing
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: pretty well, and I feel like they have been moving
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: a little bit differently than they had before. And I
• 19:03
  Speaker 13: feel like when somebody makes a big splash all of
• 19:06
  Speaker 13: a sudden, it's like, woe is me, and now it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 13: storming outside and it's just really not like that. Man, Like,
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: we've been doing really well. Dallas has in, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: I feel in the last two years moving a little
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: bit differently. I feel like Shaddy has brought a different culture,
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: and you know, I just I just feel like we
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: can't get so caught up in our neighbor's long that
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: we forget how green ours is, you know. And the
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: last thing I just want to touch on really quick,
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: and I hate to be so quick on my first
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: day back, but the you know, Juda's Men's Mental Health
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: Awareness Weeks, and I know that we've kind of discussed
• 19:38
  Speaker 13: a little bit of that, but that's want to remind everybody. Man,
• 19:41
  Speaker 13: if you're if you're ever in need of anything, ask
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: for help. I've said it before. If you look around
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: and you don't have a friend, that you have one
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: now start and see I have two ears. I can
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: certainly lend you one, So you guys have a great day.
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: And Nick, thanks so much takeing.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you for the call, Thank you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: for for the call, and and to and to say that,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: because that that certainly means a lot. And and you're
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you're something else for for for having you know, for
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for having that platform, and and and and the patience
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that it takes to do to be a good listener.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Not everybody is, and so you know, and and it's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: got to be genuine and it sounds like it very
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: very much is for from you. So thank you for
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: saying that. And then to the football side of it, Yeah,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I mean it when somebody else makes a move like that,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you you you wish you know, you always
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: do that. Anytime a guy is traded or it gets cut,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you always think is this somebody that could help us?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Or is this somebody that could have helped us, which
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: obviously Miles Garrett could have helped every team. So yeah,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I see your point. And I again, like I said before,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if if it's if it really was
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: ever a fair trade possibility when you look at what
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the Rams did and what they had. I just don't
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: know if the Cowboys could have done that. You can
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: argue that all day if you want, you know, you can,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: because you can always throw the draft picks out there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: But even the Browns said it like the verse was
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: was the was the key part of that, And I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: just don't know if the Cowboys have that. And then
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to go back to your Caleb Downs, could he help
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: could the get comparison help with with Darren woods the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: way you better be good, you know, like that's the thing,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Like if he's if he's getting compared to Darren Woodson
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and he's not as good, then it didn't help him.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I think he I think he will be. And anytime
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the guy's name is out there and mentioned, I mean,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: when you're this far removed from from a player, you
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: got to have things that kind of bring your name,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: you know, back to back to the surface again. So
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: hopefully this will do that in a positive way for Woodson.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I know we're all pulling for him. I think it's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a matter of time, but it sure has been a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: long time. All right, let's go to break here on

• 23:19
  Speaker 1: on storyline. Got a couple of callers here. Let's go
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: back to Joe in Stamford, Texas. Joe, what's up?
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: Man Onner brother doing well?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Good? Okay, good, it's on your rind.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: We Well, first of all, I'll sort of touch on
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: this Garrett trade. The Browns have said that the Cowboys
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: and the Rams and a few other teams had repeatedly
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: contacted them about trying to get Garrett. So the Cowboys
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: have been trying to get him. The difference is when
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: the Rams and the Browns said this straight up. The
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: difference is they said, we'll take Verse. If he's on offer,
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: then we'll do it. And that's the only way that
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: they were going to replace Garrett. So I know everybody
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: wants I sent a message Diarne saying watch how everybody's gonna,
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: you know, start crying and saying we should have could
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: have would him and you know, I get the feeling
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: of wanting Garrett, but we were never gonna get him never.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: So I just think people, you just got to get
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: over that. Two questions.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Well, one thing, I think maybe.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: We need to think about these outside linebackers and rushers
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: as some of these guys we haven't seen in a
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: certain way. Sam Williams specifically, and Mary's Lee Fowl. Williams
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: is going back to a position he played in college
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: and he hasn't had this specific set of coaching staff
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: That couldn't make a huge difference because we know he
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: has the ability. And Leah foul is switching positions. We
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: don't have any idea what we got in him. I mean,
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: apparently they see something in him that makes them want
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: to change feeling the outside linebackers. So you know, it's
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: going to be interesting to see a lot of these
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: guys that we don't even know about it. If somebody
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: could really flash, we just don't know, you know.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: One question I had for you, and I can take
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: this off air, do you know who the OTA participants are?
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: We know Pickings is not there. Is there any other
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: major guy that's not there? I know you can't see
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: him or watch him. But you guys are are privy
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: to the participant.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and that's something we'll we'll find out tomorrow. Again,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Joe. You know the thing about
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it always and and we don't I don't really love
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to keep attendance on it because it's voluntary, and so
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you start making decisions, you start, you know, drawing conclusions
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to things about that kind of stuff when you really
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: don't need to. I mean, you know, we're all in
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the same in the same boat. You tell me it's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: something I have to be there or or it would
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: be or it's preferred that I'm there, I might make
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a different, you know, a different decision on it. So
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and and that's it's different when you're an NFL player
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: and you're making this kind of money and and and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you guys and they want to be great, you know.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing about Pickens. I'll just say it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't really understand all of that business
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: side of it. I don't really understand why he isn't here.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: He signed is his tag. This isn't a contract whold
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: out type thing. He's not trying to get a new
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: deal right now. They're not negotiating. So it is what
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: it is, and it's what it's going to be. So
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: for him, he's got to be if he wants that,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know, the money that he thinks he deserves, he's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: going to have to come out and have another really
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: fantastic year. And let's look at what happened last year.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: He was here last year, he was here in the offseason,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he was here at all of training camp and and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: you know, he was working with Dak, working with CD
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and that whole offense, and it looked and it showed.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And so that's my only concern is for him, it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: if he's not going to do that, then how good
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: is it going to be? Because alt's trying to he's
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: trying to get a contract that's you know, in the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: range of thirty five to forty million, like what London
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: got or you know, and and and you wonder what
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a deal like that really does. What does the Drake
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: London deal do for for Pickings? I think it probably
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: helps him, honestly, So you know that that's it's north
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of what CD got, and it's you know, it's in
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the range of what of what they're looking for. But
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I again as far as OTAs go, there's no one
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: else that I've heard or seen that that's a big
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: time player that isn't here, and I'm at least not
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: here on a consistent basis. So well, we'll see tomorrow,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and well, I'm sure there'll be people out there going
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: where so and so where you know, and it's again,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it's voluntary. It's gonna it's going to happen. It's going
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to happen out on the field tomorrow or you know,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: right outside of the of the playing surface. There's gonna
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: be media guys going up to our public relations staff
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: going where's so and so? And then they're gonna come back,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And it's voluntary. It's happened for twenty years, and so
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: it'll happen again tomorrow. But the big stories obviously a
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: guy like Pickens, he hasn't been here, and again, like
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm not really sure why, but we'll see
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: if it's a long term thing. And the big part
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: for him will be if he's here for Mini camp,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: which is in a couple of weeks that is mandatory
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and they'll be fines if you're not there. Then again,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he's probably the most fine player of the Cowboys have
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: had in a long time, So I'm not sure if
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that's going to change anything either. All right, Michael and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Bowling Green? What's up?
• 28:35
  Speaker 11: Two time?
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: Two time?
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: Two time? First tame here? So we were talking about
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: you were talking about the schedule last week, and I
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: miss I missed calling in. But one thing I like
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: about the schedule. We only have two holidays that we're
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: going to be playing. So that's better than just being
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: punch today. Two holidays, Yeah, two holidays. Do you know
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: what the two holidays are?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Right, go for it?
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: Thanksgiving? Of course in Valentine's Day?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Is that when the super Bowl is?
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: That's when the super Bowl is on Valentine's Day?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, I would love for
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that time.
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: Yes, I've had that joke since the schedule came out,
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: and I just haven't been able to get on. What
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: I really wanted to just say was about Miles Garrett.
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: I just don't I don't think. I don't think the
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: Cowboys didn't go after him. I just don't think they
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: had the funds to get him. Yeah, I mean, do
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: you do you think? I mean, I don't think they
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: had a kicker.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Of a player to throw in well, that's yes. I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: have said that in the show couple of times that
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that's I think versus what's the key? Yeah, I mean,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean that's that was the key
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to it. Everyone's got draft picks. You know, everyone can
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: can throw out draft picks for you know, for however
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: long they'll take them. But you know, you have to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: get a player that can kind of match what what
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: somewhat what what uh he's doing over there? And obviously
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't have that. You know, they had it,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: but you know they they didn't, you know, and I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: think if you're going to have any kind of you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: complaints about what the Cowboys are doing it the trade
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: wise and all this stuff, I don't think it would
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: be this this particular move that they didn't make. It
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: was just look at what the Browns had to have
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: to part ways with Miles Garrett, and the Cowboys didn't
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: see it that way, you know what I mean. They
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: they they had to have they they even said it,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: they had to have Kenny Clark in the deal, but
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: you know, could have been Gary for for that trade
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: they ended up getting him anyways, But you know, I mean,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: they just didn't have You're right, they don't have they
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: don't have the firepower player wise to trade, especially on
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: that side of the ball.
• 31:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, because I don't think the Browns would have taken
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: three first rounds. But I mean, uh, you know, we
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: we can't give our future out like that anyway.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could have traded if you you know, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: could have traded pickings if you wanted to go down
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: that road. I don't and maybe maybe it was discussed.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know, but you know, again,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the Browns were in a better position to make that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: move and they did.
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: All right, all right, that's all I got.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael, have a good one. All right, let's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: let's go to I'm a in Napa, California. I'm a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: Hey?
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: Nick?
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: How you doing?
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: How are you doing doing?
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: I'm doing great, wrapping up some commitments here with my
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: softball coaching, and you have more time to uh, to be.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: In contact with you. Happy to make it through today,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: so man, happy to talk some cowboys. Well rams, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: obviously the rams are a big topic.
• 32:22
  Speaker 16: Man.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I guess it's a good trade for both teams, but
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm not sure the Cowboys are really in
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a position to make a trade like that with you know. Still,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're in a situation where we know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: like we just one player away from making a push
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: for for the Super Bowl. I think we have a
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: lot of good pieces. I think we had a good draft,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: you know, but a lot of stuff have to come together,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure just trading away more draft capital
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: and you know, a young player to get you know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: an older, proven player is necessarily like pushing us over
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the top. So you know, got mixed feelings about the
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: trade as far as like, man, should the Cowboys done that?
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: And whatever?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: But good for both of them.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: I guess.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: More.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: My thing is, you think, you know, we make a
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: trade maybe you know, something like that along you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: where we go with a younger maybe not all the
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: way proven player for like a swing tackle. You know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just not I'm not I'm not all the ways
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: sure with either one of our tackles as far as
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: i'm steel and guiton and yeah, I'm not sure about
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: you know. Uh, I always get his name, always call
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: him Rob Jones. Let's know it's not the BROB Jones,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: But you know, the guy that was the seventh round pick,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: I think the year before last, and he played somethm
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: last year and he looked okay at times, but he
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: still looks a little slow on the seat. Nate Thomas.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Nate Thomas, I don't know how calling Rob Jones man
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: either way. Nate Thomas, Yes, Nate Thomas. I think he's
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: a little slow in the feed. I think he's solid,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I guess, but I don't think you really want to
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: go in as like a you know, a starting tackle
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: with him or even predominantly through the season if he
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: has to rescue a guiding or a steal, you know
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: what I mean. So just hope we get like another
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: tackle something like that, and then just really excited, you
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: know about you know, just all the potential for our defense.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I just feel like, you know, we got
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: to just finishing, you know, in the top half, top twenty.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, when Quinn was there, you know, we had
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: a couple of you know, good years, but I mean
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: there was a couple of years we're still in the
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: twenties and we finished you know what eleven and eleven
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: and five, eleven and six, whatever. So you know, I
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: feel like, you know, we just have to be on
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: the on the better side of the defense, and our
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: offense is ready to roll. Fucking I guess the the
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: swing tackle man. Let's go, Jerry, make a little trade.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: You know what do you think?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: All right? Yeah, I mean that is from the offensive
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, that's the position that that is
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: still seems to be somewhat unsettled. You know, it's you
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of stability there. I mean, Terrence
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Steele has been there. I mean, I think fans would
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: like to get a better player at that position. It's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: been a while since you've had two tackles and neither
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: one of them has been to a Pro Bowl or
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it seems like they're even playing close to
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that kind of level. So that's not something that we're
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: kind of used to seeing here. So yeah, when you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: have a sixty million dollar quarterback, you want to be
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: able to protect him on the from on the edges there,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So that that would be one that I think that
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys are going to continue to look
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: at and see the development of Nate Thomas, and they
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: drafted Drew Shelton, so you know you've and then you
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: always have Tyler Smith that you can kind of throw
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: out there. I saw Tyler yesterday, and you know, I
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: they do it in house media days where you see
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the players, you know, walking around. We got a chance
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to kind of talk to some of them, and you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Tyler to me looked like he could play tackle, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: and and he he always could play tackle, you know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: even when he's kind of got more of the guard
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: body type. But he kind of looked the part, you know.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's always been a tricky thing. I've always
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: wondered how how that that happens when you've got a
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: player that can be a position flex guy. And I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: remember Tyrone Crawford used to talk about that that it
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: was tough because you know, you want me to play
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle, but then you want maybe to move me
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: out to the edge. So then I move out there
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and you're like, why why did you only get four sacks? Like, well,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: because I'm beefed up to play tackle. Now I'm out
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: here playing the edge, and now you move me back
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: inside and I'm getting moved off the ball because I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to be playing you know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: What I mean.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So how do you how do you just get your
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: body typed be both? And I think that that Tyler
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Smith is good enough to kind of mine get his
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: mind right to maybe play tackle and to be a
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: little bit leaner quick on his feet. But he's still
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: strong enough where he can he can still get the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: job done inside at guard and you know, put him
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: on the move for screens and things like that. I
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna be even better. So he'll be great
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: whatever he is. But that's another option that they have. Uh,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you know TJ. Bass is back at guard. He can
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: start games if you need to, along with Booker on
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the other side. So if your best five includes TJ.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Bass and Tyler Smith left tackle, then that's what they'll do.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: That's not what I think. I don't think he's he's
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be as great Tyler Smith, but ultimately you're trying
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: to win football games, and I'm sure the Cowboys will
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: will go that route. All right, let's I did not
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: answer a question. I know I have another caller here,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: but I didn't answer the part about the outside linebackers.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I think it was Joe and Stanford that was talking
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: about outside line wreckers that you know, the pass rushers,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of writing down the names just who
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: they are. I might be missing someone, but yes, Sam
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Williams is back in, you know, in a role that
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: he's familiar with but not not hasn't done here in Dallas.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Marris Leaf Ils moving to that position as well. James
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Houston seems to be a guy you kind of forget
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: about some as a rock who's as another one that's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you know, this is his second year. Then of course
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: you got Rashaan Gary and then the draft pick of
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Malachi Lawrence. I might be missing someone, but but those
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: are the guys. But it's you can't just have some
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: good players in there, you know, just solid. You got
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to have a dude at least at some point, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you know they're hoping Malachai Lawrence can be that guy.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Rashawn Gary, you know, has has had some success maybe
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: as a rock who can can kind of you know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: jump to that level as well. All right, j R.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And Avondale Arizona's next.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Hey, morning neck, how you going s good?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: How you doing? Man?
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Hanging in there? Hanging in there? Hey? So I have
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: all this extra time since I retired and I started
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: coming to the show in September. It's get all this
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: time to research and look at stuff and I'm really
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: excited about the coaching staff. I just think that the
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: people they got, they seem to be all of them
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: on the upswing of their career. I think they're like minded,
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: and I'm anxious to see. I'm excited to see what
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: this coaching staff does on the defensive side of the ball.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: And then I'm also I look at all the players.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: I kind of separated them the new additions and the
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: veteran and then all the rookies, and the people I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: most excited about are Barum because he's such a violent player.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: And I believe when you go in there and make
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: a play where you get someone behind the line of
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: scrimmage and you marry him, it lifts the whole defense.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: It's you know what I mean, It's a momentum type thing.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: It fires everybody up. And we see Demo make plays
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: like that where he runs down wat it changes the
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: whole game. I'm very excited to see what he does
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: in what position they have him in and how they
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: use him. And then as far as the veterans go,
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: We've been talking a little bit about Sam Williams. I'm
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: anxious to see what he's gonna do because I think
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: he's always been. He's kind of an undisciplined guy. He'll
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: he'll block a punt. They'll later he'll run into the punter.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: I just think he's he's ready to take that step.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: I'm anxious to see what he does in this new position.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: So I'll ask you who are you most excited to
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: see on the new editions and who are you most
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: excited to see in this camp with veterans. So that's
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: all I got and I'll hang up and have a great,
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: great nick. Go cowboys.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: All right, good call, Thanks for the for the call.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: New editions and turning guys maybe in a different role.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Sam Sam Williams is one of those guys
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that I would like to see, you know, And you're right,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: you're spot on with with what you know in that's
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of your assessment of him. He has been that that
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: type of player where he'll make a play for both
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: teams sometimes and uh, he'll he'll make a play for
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: you and then he'll come back around and you know,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: have a penalty and and and some of those guys
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: are are are like that. You know, they're they're aggressive,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: but they got to you know, they got to figure
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: out how to have that controlled chaos and he's he's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: kind of getting there. But you said it too. You know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: if you if you can block a punt from the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: defensive end or outside linebacker position, you you have to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: have some explosiveness to get back there in time to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: do that. And and he's he's got that. Now, you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: don't exactly have a left tackle out there that's blocking
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: you for the for the punt team, so you're kind
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: of you know, getting by one guy and and and
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: getting back there. But you still got to be able
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to have something, you know, to to get off the edge.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And so he's he's got that. He's going to have
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to play this new position, uh
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's done it some in college. But
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that I'm looking forward to to seeing,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I would say on the defensive side. On offense. You know,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Ryan Flinoy has has some ability I think to be
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a you know, I don't like to say compare them all,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: you know, Miles Austin type, but you know he needed
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: some development. They're a small school player, but he had
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the tools and he Flinoy can be that. He really
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: he can't. I'm not saying he's gonna have two hundred
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: and fifty yard game against Kansas City and overtime. I'm
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: not saying all that, but or a two time pro
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: bowler with that, as Miles Austin did. But you see
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: the traits where you can continue to develop. And he's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a guy that I'd be excited about. And then, you know,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I love to see what d Winners does as a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: new player. Want to see him for sure. I mean,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the list goes on and on, but I do. I
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: do think he can provide something. And I'm also intrigued
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: by Kobe Durant. He's he's a player that I'm really excited.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I did it to see there. And you know he's
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: he's wearing that number two. Maybe he's gonna keep it,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: maybe he's not, but it fits him well. I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: if he can kind of help with the slot and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and help on the outside, uh, the Cowboys can be
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: really really good there. All right, let's go to Rick
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: in Webster, Massachusetts. Rick, what's up?
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: Rick?
• 43:18
  Speaker 17: Heyck? How you doing?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
• 43:21
  Speaker 17: I'm all right? You know with the scale days off
• 43:24
  Speaker 17: and you know, to have the changes, how many get
• 43:27
  Speaker 17: in lately but got in today? So that's good. Cool,
• 43:31
  Speaker 17: But I'd love if you can answer this or not.
• 43:35
  Speaker 17: But there's been things out there there, you know, kind
• 43:40
  Speaker 17: of worry about.
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: Is that.
• 43:43
  Speaker 17: Next year and the twenty twenty eight first round picks,
• 43:49
  Speaker 17: do they want or are they are flexible to you know,
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: move around or something like that, because I know they
• 43:55
  Speaker 17: forward get them if we trade one way, they're going
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: to part the Jets are going to get to what
• 44:00
  Speaker 17: ever the best one is from Green Bay or.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: US right right, Yeah, they're they're gonna get We've traded, Yeah,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: we traded one of them. We haven't traded the other one.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: And I think you could do that. I've heard back
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: and forth on that that No you can't, Yes you can,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: but you can certainly agree upon a trade, you know,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: if they wanted to go that route, so they could
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: trade that, I believe. But no they If that's what
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you're asking is have they Are they locked? I don't
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: think that they're locked.
• 44:33
  Speaker 17: No, Well that was the question another question about excuse
• 44:41
  Speaker 17: me being locked. But I'll just said checking in on
• 44:46
  Speaker 17: that and have a good day. I'll talk you next.

• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the phone lines. Haven't heard from Robin Vegas in a while. Rob,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 46:28
  Speaker 16: Hey, Nick? How's everything good?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 46:31
  Speaker 16: I'm good? You know, it's hockey season. Nothing nothing nothing,
• 46:36
  Speaker 16: great game, great game.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: What a turnaround? Really was? I was looking at that
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: because they were about what thirty seconds away from being
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: down in the first series to Utah, and that was
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: a tough series, and then they just kind of turned
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: it on and kind of had that championship pedigree.
• 46:53
  Speaker 16: I guess that's that's exactly it. They got the Italian
• 46:57
  Speaker 16: stallion as the head coach, and he knows how to
• 47:01
  Speaker 16: push the right buttons. And they they don't panic. He
• 47:04
  Speaker 16: says a goody two nothing, no big deal. And they
• 47:08
  Speaker 16: they're just they're a championship team. They're a playoff build.
• 47:10
  Speaker 16: Team is really what they are going to the game
• 47:14
  Speaker 16: Saturday at.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: Least, no, so go after it.
• 47:22
  Speaker 16: I hear, you know, I heard the last call. A
• 47:25
  Speaker 16: couple of callers ago say the Cowboys are at one
• 47:27
  Speaker 16: person or one player away, and I'm like, yes, they are.
• 47:30
  Speaker 16: It just depends on who the player is. I mean,
• 47:34
  Speaker 16: what do you want this team to have. We have
• 47:36
  Speaker 16: a a top five quarterback, receiving corps, offense, running back. Now,
• 47:43
  Speaker 16: on paper, the defense looks improved, but let's face it, it's
• 47:47
  Speaker 16: on paper, the coaching staffs, on paper, the draft, all
• 47:51
  Speaker 16: of it. So you bring in a guy like a
• 47:54
  Speaker 16: Miles Garrett, are you kidding?
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 47:57
  Speaker 16: They were never in that running Brian brought us even
• 47:59
  Speaker 16: say he goes, I heard they were never even in
• 48:04
  Speaker 16: the conversation. Everybody uses the Cowboys as a springboard. But
• 48:08
  Speaker 16: you're telling me bringing in a guy that gets twenty
• 48:11
  Speaker 16: sacks that you can't get with four players. I mean,
• 48:15
  Speaker 16: come on, it's a game changer now. So you know,
• 48:20
  Speaker 16: we were having a conversation amongst ourselves about that, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 16: I'm like, to me, elite players matter. You know, I'd
• 48:29
  Speaker 16: rather like we were talking about, would you rather have four? Okay,
• 48:33
  Speaker 16: pass rushers. Let's say, or one elite, give me the
• 48:38
  Speaker 16: elite guy. The elite guy makes everybody better.
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: We've seen it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 16: You saw it last year when Micah got traded. Your
• 48:48
  Speaker 16: defense was the worst in the league. I mean it
• 48:51
  Speaker 16: wasn't a coincidence. I mean, elite players matter, and it's
• 48:56
  Speaker 16: the ownership's job to get as many as they can.
• 49:01
  Speaker 16: So listen, I like what they've done, but I don't
• 49:06
  Speaker 16: think they have enough on defense still because I don't
• 49:10
  Speaker 16: think they have the pass rusher. You know, we're hoping,
• 49:14
  Speaker 16: and listen, I'm just like everybody else. Everybody's hoping that
• 49:19
  Speaker 16: Sam Williams is going to become Lawrence Taylor. But I've
• 49:22
  Speaker 16: never seen anything about Sam Williams. So it's just hope
• 49:28
  Speaker 16: that Donovan Azaraku he was actually better against the run
• 49:32
  Speaker 16: than rushing the passer. So I have no you know,
• 49:36
  Speaker 16: I only have hope. I would like for them to
• 49:39
  Speaker 16: make moves. You know, I keep saying it there's a
• 49:41
  Speaker 16: guy in Vegas you maybe could go get that would
• 49:45
  Speaker 16: be a game changer. I just think they still need
• 49:49
  Speaker 16: somebody to cand affect the quarterback, especially if you take
• 49:52
  Speaker 16: your back end is going to be better, which it
• 49:55
  Speaker 16: should be you know, we've seen it. Micah made the
• 50:00
  Speaker 16: defensive backs look like all pros and then he leaves
• 50:04
  Speaker 16: and they look like they'd never played before. So I
• 50:07
  Speaker 16: just need I think we still need that. But other
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: than how you've been.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. And and you know, I don't
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: think we've talked since the draft. Maybe Caleb Dad maybe, Oh.
• 50:18
  Speaker 16: Yeah, listen, we talked once. I like this kid. I
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: don't know much about him. You know, I don't really
• 50:24
  Speaker 16: follow Ohio State, but from just listening to everybody, everybody
• 50:29
  Speaker 16: can't be wrong about this kid. This kid is you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 16: this kid is getting glowing reviews from everybody. So it
• 50:38
  Speaker 16: sounds like a great pick. But we have to be
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: honest about ourselves. And today's NFL safeties don't change the
• 50:48
  Speaker 16: game like they used to. It's pass rush. It's all
• 50:53
  Speaker 16: about affecting the quarterback. And I know everybody's now using
• 50:58
  Speaker 16: the Seattle model. Well look, well that was a one year.
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: That's one year. You know, you go across the history
• 51:07
  Speaker 16: of the NFL, elite pass rushers matter. So but no,
• 51:13
  Speaker 16: I'm excited to see, of course, I'm excited to see
• 51:17
  Speaker 16: football be the team. Let's see what happens. But no,
• 51:22
  Speaker 16: I hope they're not done. I hope they they I
• 51:25
  Speaker 16: hope they get a linebacker. They would love for them
• 51:27
  Speaker 16: to go for the guy in Miami, But I don't
• 51:30
  Speaker 16: think they're gonna. I think they're gonna stand pat and
• 51:32
  Speaker 16: world what they got.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, you're right about the pass rusher. Thanks
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: for the call, Rob, always good to hear from you.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Good luck watching your team play in the Stanley Cup
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Finals Vegas and Carolina. It should be a good series.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, the you know, you list all these
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: pass rushers, and you're right about Seattle. Seattle, that's probably
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: gonna what they did. It's probably gonna hurt some teams,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: and maybe the Cowboys included of you know, because it's
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: a copycat league, and you look at it and go, well,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: we really need a great pass rusher. You know. I
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: know Derek will be here in a little bit on
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Break and he's probably gonna throw out the stats
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: on how you know all these great pass rushers, look
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: at what they're doing, look at what how good they're
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: leading their their team. If I'm sure in the last
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: couple of years, some of the best elite rushers in
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the league are not taking their team to the to
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And look at the twenty two sack season
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: or whatever that Miles Garrett had, and you know where
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: the Brown's picking, you know, like like right there at
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the top. So it doesn't always translate to wins. And
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: just because this committee, you know, Seattle, they may not
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: have had the stars, but I mean I don't know
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence pretty good. I mean he's been to some
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowls before, so it's not like it was just
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Jags out there. I mean, they just didn't have that
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: elite guys. So there's got to be a middle ground.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's going to work. Sometimes it doesn't. We've seen
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the bi committee approach at other positions here and it
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: hasn't worked. But between you know, I keep looking at
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: this list, Sam Williams Lea foul Houston as a rock
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Ooverershan Gary Melchai Lawrence. I mean, unless we're all gonna
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: get like five, somebody's got to be the guy. And
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: maybe the inside out approach will really help here. You know,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: we're kind of forgetting that part of it too, at
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: least in this show. I haven't talked about it. I'm
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: not saying you guys are forgetting about Quinn Williams, Kenny
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Clark and Obanya inside Jonathan Bullard. I mean, four really
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: big guys, all north of three twenty that are going
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: to change the way teams have to block them. And
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: maybe that does open some things more on the outside
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: than what we've seen before, and some stability on the
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: back end that we haven't seen can kind of, you know,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: help as well. So all right, let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing good?
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: You are not allowed to talk about his trade, Okay,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I have feeling that's something that's on your mind.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: Kind of yeah.
• 54:08
  Speaker 18: I mean we're talking about the diaper conversation, which is
• 54:11
  Speaker 18: something that you like to talk about. Right, Dallas has
• 54:14
  Speaker 18: some holes, man, It is what it is, and real
• 54:16
  Speaker 18: quick for aga into that. The last time an elite
• 54:19
  Speaker 18: stud pass rusher, by the way, got a Super Bowl
• 54:22
  Speaker 18: victory was out of twenty fifteen season. So it's been
• 54:24
  Speaker 18: a decade since an elite pass rusher, and that was
• 54:26
  Speaker 18: Von Miller and DeMarcus Square that went and won.
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: A Super Bowl.
• 54:29
  Speaker 18: It's been a decade since an elite pass rusher won
• 54:32
  Speaker 18: a ring, So maybe there's something to that, maybe there's not.
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 54:34
  Speaker 18: I don't think it's necessary. I think you can build
• 54:36
  Speaker 18: a stable and you're fine, but you've got to be
• 54:38
  Speaker 18: able to build that stable versus just hitting that one
• 54:41
  Speaker 18: elite guy, which is I don't know which one's tougher
• 54:43
  Speaker 18: to do. But that goes into the conversation about diapers. Man,
• 54:46
  Speaker 18: if the defense still has holes in it and you
• 54:49
  Speaker 18: make this giant trade for this guy and I guess
• 54:52
  Speaker 18: he's a new diaper, which at this point, I think
• 54:55
  Speaker 18: the cowboys are building this thing the right way, and
• 54:57
  Speaker 18: it is a building process, it's not a one year transition.
• 55:01
  Speaker 18: They're potty training, man. And I put this on Twitter,
• 55:03
  Speaker 18: I tag you they're potty training right now, and it
• 55:05
  Speaker 18: feels good to not have to clean up after my
• 55:07
  Speaker 18: child and wipe their butt and take care of the diapers.
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: And all that.
• 55:11
  Speaker 18: They're potty training their defense and maybe at some point
• 55:14
  Speaker 18: they can get out of the training underwear and wear
• 55:16
  Speaker 18: actual undies and we're good to go.
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: But I'd rather be.
• 55:20
  Speaker 18: Potty training than depend on one guy who has a
• 55:22
  Speaker 18: bad week or he gets her cop or baby gets hurt,
• 55:24
  Speaker 18: and you just trade it four draft picks and the player,
• 55:26
  Speaker 18: and now what do you do, right, I mean, that's
• 55:29
  Speaker 18: a big consideration. And people don't want to hear about
• 55:31
  Speaker 18: injuries because you can't take that and consider it. I mean,
• 55:32
  Speaker 18: of course you do.
• 55:33
  Speaker 12: That's a huge risk.
• 55:35
  Speaker 18: So whatever, dude, they've had a great off season. I'm
• 55:38
  Speaker 18: not going to get mad because they didn't trade for
• 55:39
  Speaker 18: Miles Garrett. They've had a great off season. And by
• 55:42
  Speaker 18: the way, the safeties do transform when their name is
• 55:44
  Speaker 18: Caleb Downs. He's not going to go sit in the
• 55:46
  Speaker 18: back half of the field. There's going to be everywhere
• 55:47
  Speaker 18: playing and the nickel predominantly he'll be blitzing. He transforms
• 55:51
  Speaker 18: your entire defense. So yes, he is transformative, not just
• 55:53
  Speaker 18: a safety. But yeah, I mean all that said, I do.
• 55:56
  Speaker 18: I hope you're doing well and that's like.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's there's some uh, there's a
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: few diaper references there and potty training and all that.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's on your mind today, but I
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: hope people understand the reference to the the what I've
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I've said a long time ago about the
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: about I called rumbo the diaper just basically what it
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: comes down to if he, you know, covers up a
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: lot of crap really and you take it off and
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: he's not on the team, then you kind of see
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: what was under there, and it's usually not pretty. So Michaeh.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Parsons is kind of in that that same role because
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I mean we saw that last year with some of
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: the players that didn't have good years, like wait, what
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: happened to dron Bland, what happened to Malie Hooker, Donvan Wilson.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I thought they were better than this. You know, well,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: maybe Michaeh Parsons kind of helped with that. Or if
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: it's not him, then then who And along those lines,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: you know, when you when you bring in a guy
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: like Caleb Downs, who can who is loves to be
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: in the film room, loves to study, loves to know
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: his role and his position. When you do that, you
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much know everyone's job, so you can line some
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: people up, so you're gonna he's gonna help guys and
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: make them better just because of his preparation. And I
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: think that that's something that's really going to to help
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: not only this whole team, but but you know, just
• 57:21
