  Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: March nineteenth, Happy birthday to my daughter Olivia. I didn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: have it written down on what day it was, but
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I do know that March nineteenth, Tuesday, second week or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: so a free agency. Not much has really changed with
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys adding a few players here and there of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: their own guys that they're re signing. Of course, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: think Eric Kendricks is still the biggest signing so far,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and that did happen last week. We still had a show.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We've had a show in between there so since the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: last show, a few departures. Obviously Aaron Smith now headed
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to the Jets, and Layton vander Esh and Michael Gallup
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we're both released. Layton vander Esh obviously released failed physical
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: so he retired officially yesterday. So but a lot of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of changes throughout the team, the roster, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna look I wouldn't say a lot different, but
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it will definitely look different, as most teams do from
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: year to year. All right, eight eight eight A five
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: five to two nine seven. That is the number to call.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You can Texas at eight one seven two nine zero
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: three two nine eight. Let's get going here, let's get
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: this thing started. We've got We'll go to the phone
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: line first. Jeff in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jeff, what's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: up by Nick?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I can? How are you doing?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: H I'm good.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: I'm first time caller. Listen, here we go.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to start out my favorite wrestler, Stone
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Cold Seat Austin and an old timer that I haven't
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: heard on the show, but I thought you might remember
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: ninety eight. I really liked this guy, Patrick Jeffers. Jeffers, Yeah, yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: I really liked him as a wide receiver he was
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: I was really sad to see him go as a
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: restricted free agent to Carolina. But I have I have
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: more of a comment and then a question for you. So,
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: just as a lifetime Cowboy fan five years ago, when
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: the Garrett administration was gone, during the hiring process with
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy, i'd be lying to you to say that
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I was kind of happy with the hire. I was
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: hoping for them to cast a wider Net, and I
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: remember that year they had just interviewed McCarthy and Marvin
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Lewis and they hired him. I kind of was a
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: little I didn't really enjoy the fact that he admitted
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: to getting the job that he won. Watch all the
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: film from the previous season, but I can't deny that
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: these three twelve and five seasons that he hasn't played.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: A pivotal role.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: So we'll give McCarthy as flowers my question that I
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: kind of wanted to ask you in regard to this.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I don't want to use the word sabotage, but with
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: the free agents.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That I can promise you that be careful with that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: one not a good word. I've used that before and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it didn't go well so personally.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Right exactly exactly. So I just wanted to ask you,
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: with the free agents that we've lost and only bringing
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: in one outside re signing Jordan Lewis and all that
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff. With Mike McCarthy and the coaching staff
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: all on one year contracts, how do you feel what
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: do you think that they feel in regards to going
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: into this season. Because Mike McCarthy has to know that
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: he has to win and get a little deeper in
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: the playoffs to keep his job.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: But the way that the free agency.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Played out, and we still have the draft to come,
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: I see like at least meeting five starters and depth pieces.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: I just think that this team has gotten worse than
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: the previous years. So I just wanted your opinion, Nick,
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: And I've been listening to you since I was a teenager.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I really enjoy all your work. Thanks for having me
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: on and I'll try to call in more often.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Oh, perfect, Thank you for the call. Jeff
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: jeff in Salt Lake City, Utah, first time caller and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: first caller of the day. That's how you started off.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: A lot of good stuff there. Did the whole thing?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Did the wrestler, did the former cowboy? Yeah? Patrick Jeffers
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: caught a touchdown in that Randy Moss game where he
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: had three on Thanksgiving. I think Jeffers also scored that day,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but nobody remembers that because it was Randy Moss going
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: all over the place. But yeah, to answer your question
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: or to talk about your comment, yeah, this is and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this is I think really why Jerry kind of meant
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the all in statement. I think he feels like this
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is an all in moment for him, like already not
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: starting in free agency, was starting two years ago, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: last year. Getting to this point, it's kind of a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: make or break year maybe maybe a better way to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: say it, because which is what happens when you're going
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all in, Like in poker, It's like this next card
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is make or break. Either you get the flush or
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you don't. You know that that type of stuff, And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what he's thinking this year. McCarthy. Dak
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sort of one year deal. It's kind of tricky, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think we all know if it doesn't work out,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it'll this probably could be the last year for him,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: same with some of the other players, you know, Zimmer
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: one year deal and all that. So that's kind of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what this is. And yeah, there is pressure and you've
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: got to win. That's the NFL. You've got to win them.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's probably not comfortable. It's a hot seat
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: if you will, for some of the coaches, and but
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that's that's the way to that's how the NFL works,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and so that's that's basically what it is. So you've
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: pegged it perfectly, Jeff. I mean, that's this is the picture.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: This is what the Cowboys have and the goals to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go win, and yeah, you look like they've lost more
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: than they've gained, and they have. They're going to rely
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on their draft from not only this year, last year,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the year before that, maybe even the year before that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You know, you've got some players. I said it a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: lot of times that if you keep going twelve and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: five and picking at the end of the draft, you're
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and or picking into the round every time, You're not
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: going to get great players that are really gonna help you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And so it's hard for those guys. What's wrong with
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the draft class? Well, because they're having a hard time
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: beating out the guys in front of him, and the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: guys in front of them are having a hard time
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: beating out guys in front of them. So that's where
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they are. But but there's gonna be a lot more
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: opportunities for these young players that have been there that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are kind of sitting around. I mean, Sam Williams is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one is one name there. You know, your linemen, your Hoffman's,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: your TJ. Bass, those guys opportunity maybe a nasseean Wright,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know who hasn't had a ton of time. I mean,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this is these are going to be opportunities for them
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to shine, you know, and see what they can do.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Joe and Stanford. Next caller, Joe.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, brother, it's good to talk to you. I haven't
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: called since you had your All Star show, so I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: just want to say thanks for putting me on the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: list there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're you're at the top. You're at the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: top of list. Thank you.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I've been traveling around a little bit so the last
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: few shows, I've just been in spots for having been
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: able to call. But just once again, love the show,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Sorry, I love the show, and of course
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I'll keep calling brother. Thank you, absolutely so. Along the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: lines of what we were just discussing as far as
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: what holes have been you know, made, and what could
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: be filled, I'm looking at last year's draft class and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: of a lot of the stuff we've lost, there's a
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: lot of guys in those positions I've overshown who I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: feel like, probably, if he recovers well enough, has a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: good shot at starting. Are there any of the other
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: draft picks that you feel like can satisfact, really fill
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a role, like even potentially become a starter. We got
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: awesome Richards, who was a tackle, got Jalen Brooks, who
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I think probably was the surprise of the draft. Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: people like Eric Scott Fojoko who didn't you know, take
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: a snap. Are there any of these guys that you
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: feel like are actually going to be able to contribute
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: next year?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what's sad about it is is that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: your first and your second round picker you did not
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: mention they fall right into this category as well. I mean, like, yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you gotta have those guys, Mazzi, scoon Maker. I mean,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: those guys have to step up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, scoon Maker didn't get to a full
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: preseason or off season. I feel like that he still
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: got a lot of potential to make a big step
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: this next year. As far as Mozzy goes, I just
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I'm totally lost on him. I have no idea at
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: all about him.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that's where you hope that the Zimmer is gonna
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: gonna really help, you know. And and they have some
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: D line coaches you know that they've added. I think
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it's Jefferson Zagonia, who's a veteran coach. I mean he's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a veteran player, he played like seventeen years, but he
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: actually coached for a long time, so maybe just new
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: voices might might help with that. Schoonmaker. I think Schoomaker
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: is going to be in a better spot because last
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: year it was so wide open at tight end. Who's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the starter? I mean, Cheltz has gone, so is a Scooonmaker?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be Ferguson? What about Peyton Hendershop?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And then it kind of worked itself out the way
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it did, and then at the end it was very
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: clear Ferguson's the guy. He's the dude, there's no doubt
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: about that. That might actually help Schoonmaker to me get
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: into this year. You're gonna be the number two guy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You're You're which is a blocker, which is also a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: guy that could make some catches, you know at times,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna have a good role and so I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: think that might actually help him going into this year.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But to name those other ones, the first guy I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: wrote down was awesome, Awesome Richards. I think he'll have
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to do some things. Kind of liked what
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: we saw from him early on, you know, Jalen Brooks
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: for Hoko would be nice to do something. I was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a little surprised that he didn't do that much, you know, Jalen, Eric, Scott,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: douce Von, all of those guys. I mean, they're all
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: gonna have opportunities. I mean they're gonna have opportunities. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: then I think if you go back to the last
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: couple of drafts, same thing. There's guys in that group
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: as well that they could make some plays. All right,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: let's go to Rob in Vegas. Hey, Nick, how you doing?
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: I'm good?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: But what are they doing?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I mean nothing?
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: Nothing, you know. I don't have a problem with who
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: they lost. Technically, I would like I thought they could
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: have maybe worked something out with Tyron finally figure out
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: if you don't practice this guy, he maybe could play.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: I think they I don't know why they they let
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: him go.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Do you see the sign? Did you see what he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: signed for? I mean that's why. And from what I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was told, what they were offering for the Cowboys, what
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: they wanted was more than that. Seriously, I understand that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: What do you think? You know, you could go cheap
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: at certain positions, but you don't want to go cheap
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: with a left tackle who's supposed to be protecting your
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: fifty five sixty million dollar quarterback. I don't understand that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: And and now, if you're not going to kick Tyler
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Smith out there, which would probably be the next best thing,
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: because I think he could be great at it, who are.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: You going to put that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: We don't have anybody on this team right now that
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: you would feel comfortable being the starter at left tackle.
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: So my thing is, I don't know why this team
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: looks like they want to blow it up. We were
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: a very good team last year. It's we weren't five
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: and twelve, we were twelve and five. It's like Jerry's like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: you know what I'm They want me to pay back,
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: they want me to do Nope, Okay, let's see what happens.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: That's it. I had it. And now the fans are
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: finally turning on him, which I think is good. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: think it's finally, you know, the fans of It's like
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: the end of the movie Training Day when Denzel was
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: fighting the cop and and then when he thought that
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: his buddies they were gonna, you know, stick up from them,
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: and they basically said, no.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: Homie, you're on your own.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: That's kind of like the fans now, you know, it's
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: like we had enough. We always stood by you. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: then when you opened him up and you said we're
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: all in, and you totally went.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: The opposite way.
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: I have never heard the fans and in twenty thirty
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: years turn on Jerry like this and wait wait.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, Rob, hold on now, because last week
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you called and you were like, I'm fine with what
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: they're doing.
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, I am fine.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I'm fine with losing.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: The people, but you have to have a plan to
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: replace them, and the goal is to get better. I
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: don't have a problem losing Pollard or Galloped or Beyonddach,
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: but you got to bring people in that are better.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: We go.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: Battle was not better than Tony Pollard.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Rob. The draft is not till in April.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: I mean, like Nicky right now, I don't think we
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: drafted one guy last year. I became a starter.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: No, now we're.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Gonna now we're looking for four just on offense. Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: I mean that, That's what I'm talking about. I don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: have a like I.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Said, you better, you better do that. Yeah, you better
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: draft four, no doubt.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: You know, you know in your business, if if the
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: Cowboys said, you know what, Nick, we're moving on from you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: They're not bringing in some shub. They're gonna try to
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: bring in somebody who they think is better. And what
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: ball is these we were there, won the division, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: twelve and five, you got you got your best players
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: in their prime, that is it his prime, micah c
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: d gigs and they got to be saying to themselves,
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: what the hell are we doing? And that's and I
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: think that's what the fans say. They don't care. At
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, I look for the Cowboys.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I know. Let me switch it on you real quick,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Tyron Smith? Are you are you doing that deal? Are
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you are you figuring out that deal? Twenty million? Ish?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it could be to take well it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Wasn't, but see it's not. It's that's state money. It's
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: really ten million, ten million, okay, ten million dollars okay.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Do you know the incentives though?
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Okay? But incentives to me is if that guy, if
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: that guy, if Tyrant Smith meets the incentives, we all benefit.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: So yes, I do tech. We're going to get a
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: starting left tackle at that that good for ten million?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: You can't well, it's up to twenty million, and a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: lot of those incentives are if he plays.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: So it's not like exactly and he's not he's probably
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: not Okay, he's probably not gonna play sixteen seventeen games.
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: He'll probably play thirteen to fourteen. But I think ten
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: million dollars, that's a we don't have anybody better. Tyler
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: Smith could be better, but then you're week at guards, so.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's I don't think it was ten million, honestly, I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: think it was going to be more than that. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: from what I just said, it sounds like what he
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: signed for the Jets was not what he would have
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: signed for with the Cowboys. Would he wanted money with
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Now they're talking about getting Beckton maybe the guy that
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: just released four time and Smith, and bring him here.
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: All I'm saying is, if you're gonna move on from players,
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: I'm cool with it as long as you're getting better,
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: not getting worse. And right now, I don't see there's
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: nobody out there left. And you could go into the
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: draft and you could get a running back, no doubt
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: about it. I want them to do that, and you
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: could get maybe the center from Okay, but you're not
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: going to get four starters in the draft to start
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: for the day one. It just ain't gonna happen.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, It may or may not. All right, Rob appreciate
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the call. I'm going to reiterate, like I said to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: start the show. Usually don't do it in the middle
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of the show here, but March nineteenth. It is Tuesday,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: March nineteenth. That is the day right now. That's where
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they are. So it's you're not going to get better
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: right right this second. If you're losing players, and that's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that's part of it. You're going backwards in an attempt
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to go forwards. You they know that. I think they
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: know that they're not going to get a center better
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: than Tyler Beyotdish, not right now. Now. He might develop
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: into something better than him, but you're not going to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: get a center in the second round or even the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: first round day one. He is better than Beyondish. It's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: probably not the case. The sament that left tackle the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: same a lot of these positions. That's that's part of it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: That's that's where they are. I just don't understand why
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: people don't understand the salary cap a little bit more,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that this is a real thing. They don't have the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: money to do all of these things, to pay all
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of these people, especially if the market is what it
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is and you've seen it. You've seen players that you're
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: fine with losing. You're fine with losing the Beyondites of
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the World at ten million and Durrance at fifteen. But
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: yet you want to get better for cheaper. That's not
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the way it works, and so they're going to have
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to do it a different way. And so that's I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: just don't understand. I mean, I get the frustration, but
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I've never ever in my life seen an NFL game
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in March. They don't play in March. Give them a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: little bit of time to do this, and also give
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: them credit for the draft. I mean, if you want
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to go back to last year, that's that's just short sighted.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Last year they had a really good roster and these
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: guys weren't getting an opportunity to play. They didn't beat
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: them out. They didn't beat out these good players on
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the roster. But now there's gonna be more options to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: do that. Now we're gonna we're really gonna get to see.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that draft was a bad draft
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just yet, we're gonna find out. We were gonna find
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: out the last couple of years, same thing. But these
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna get the chance to play. The time
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is now, so let's calm down before we say. You know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: nobody's turning on anybody. Nobody's turning on the Cowboys, no one.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I don't believe a fan. I certainly won't be calling
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this show, but I don't believe there's that many fans
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: out there that are just saying, you know what, I'm done,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: here's all my cowboy gear, give me the chiefs. If
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: so you were never a fan to begin with, All right,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Travis san Antonio.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: What's up? Man? So I was hoping.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: I was hoping I was.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: Actually gonna get in before Rob because I wanted to
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: ask Rob and kind of everybody this because last week
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: you got a call with I think his name was
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: Zach Yeah, and get I get that. I heard Stephen
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: Jones comments last week saying, you know, are all in
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: is keeping the core? I think maybe some of the frustration,
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: you know, from Rob this week and from other fans
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: is like, it's fine if you say we're going to
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: keep the core together, but the problem is the Core
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: if by itself, hasn't been good enough over the last
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: fifteen years. Ibody gonna say thirty because that's kind of
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: d it, but since they've been a good drafting team,
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: you know they have the four hasn't been good enough,
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: and then you know, I know the cap is real, Nick,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: I understand. But at the same time, I do think
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: that like the perception of the team pushing like, you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: how big of a deal this is, they're making it
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: almost too big of a deal because the Rams had
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: seventy nine point nine million in dead cap last season,
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: and by my mark, they had a more competitive game
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: and nearly got past the Lions in the same round
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: that we did. So I'm not saying it's not real,
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: but it's also we can also act like it's this
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: complete death sentence for five years, it's one year of
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: dead cap, and now this year they ask seven hundred
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: grand on the cap for dead cap, so it's not
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: like it's a you can still be competitive even having
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: that dead cap. So I think that's partly two where
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: I'm not saying you do it all the time, not
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: saying it's a yearly thing, but I think that's sometimes
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: where it's like, I mean, we can't go all in
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: one time and have a year of dead cap and
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: then be able to rebound the next year. I don't
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: think that's completely like unrealistic to asking a team when
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: the strategy they've had hasn't worked of just keeping the
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: cour together. And then the other thing, and I'll get
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: off is it's not a this is not coming.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You got a couple of.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: Calls last week, you know about the whole Micah thing
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: and him, you know he needs to shut up. And
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: I'm not coming from an emotional place as far as
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: this goes. But you know, I'm more of an outside
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: the box guy. And the question I want to ask
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: all the fans and you is do you think this
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: team is a.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Good drafting team?
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Ye?
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: Speaking, yes, yes, yeah, I would I would agree they
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: think they're a good drafting.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Team, right, yes, okay, right?
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: And I'm not saying you do this with Mike. I'm
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: not saying with certain players. But is Deran Bland's value
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: right now going to be any higher than it is
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: in his entire career?
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I would thinking no, So I would say no.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: Just because of the year yet And it's not a
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: Doran needs to be quiet. I'm just saying if you,
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: I guess, if you're gonna go with this with this
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: path and being a drafting team, then we're not gonna
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: be big players if free agency, I'm totally.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Fine with it.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: But let's start turning we want more. You just said
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: we want more darts of the dart board, right, Okay,
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: let's start taking a position where we may have a
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: drawn bland. Can we turn it around bland round for
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: a pick, a higher pick, or maybe two picks. It's possible.
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: That is not crazy. And I know people want to
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: be like, oh, that's insane, you can't think of doing that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: and blah blah blah. But it also helped you manage
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: the cat because you're not paying like receiver is deep
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: every year. I know this is outlandish, but if you
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: didn't want to pay CD Lamb in a world where
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: we lived in that world.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: I think you can safely say you can get a
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: first round pick and maybe a third round pick for
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: Ceedee Lamb something like that. I think you can definitely
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: get a first you can draft another receiver. If that's
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: this is the path you want to go down to
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: being a cheaper team. I don't think it's when all
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: these fans freak out and say that's crazy. Why would
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: you want to trade a guy because I get more
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: darts to the dart board. If we're a good drafting team,
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: don't you trust them to find good players? Yeah, So
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: I don't understand why it's so crazy.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: I guess I just want to hear all that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know who's saying crazy or whatever. I
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: don't think it's it's crazy crazy.
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: But the fans have overacted. Like Micah, I wouldn't trade.
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: But like if you mentioned cde Lamb, I guarantee you
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: someone will call in and say that's crazy.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I might be getting the getting the number. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: might be the one right there in the make it
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: first call. Here's why on that. Thanks for the call,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and I like, again, Travis, appreciate that. I like thinking
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: outside the box a little bit, or at least just,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you know, just something that's not always conventional. I'm never
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: just one way or another. That's why I wish I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: don't really love what the Cowboys, what their approach is,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: because it never, it doesn't it doesn't change. I think
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: there are years where you have to say three or
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: four years where you're like, we're just going draft here,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: We're not going to be really big in free agency.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Every now and again, it's okay to if you have
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the money to do that and go through free agency,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and so I would. I would never be up one
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: way or another thing. So what you're saying, Travis, is
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you you think maybe if they're just going to rely
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: on the draft, then let's trade these guys maybe when
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the value is high. You know, you would have done that,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: maybe with Digs last year, I guess, or or see
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this year, or maybe Deran Bland or whatever. I'm kind
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: of the other way. I'm kind of a hit or
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: miss a little bit. I want to more in the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: middle here. You got CD lamb landed in your lap
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and you got lucky to have him.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: He was sitting there at seventeen. You loved him, you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe he was there. You've ignored some other needs
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and said we're taking this guy now. He's your franchise receiver,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: gonna break just about every record there ever was for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, every receiver. So I'm keeping him. Duran Bland,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: fifth round pick, I mean definitely keeping him right now.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean think about it. He's got one year,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: he had five picks, didn't even start. Next year, he
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: has nine picks, five interceptions, for touchdowns, like, don't have
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to do anything this year. Next year, you're gonna have
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to figure something out. But you know, let's let's let's
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: see when he stops leading the team with interceptions. I mean,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm not a Rob Peter to pay
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Paul type type thing. You still open up another situation
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and you're not always gonna hit. I mean, look at
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: last year's draft should be a good example that, yeah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they are a good drafting team. Sometimes they didn't always hit.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: So I'm not just gonna say I'm going to I'm
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: gonna throw back the ace here and I expect to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: get another ace. That's not the way it works. CD Bland. No,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna sign some I to me, it's a balance.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: That's the way I would do it, and that's why
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the Cows are trying to do it. But I would
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: lean a little bit more on free agency on years
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: when you have the money. This doesn't seem to be
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: one of those years. All right, Anthony and Miami, Ni
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to quick? What's that? Man?
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Hey man, number one? I did not see the last
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: time I call that. Thanks for my second team All
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: prole on Yeah, I really you know, you know, how
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: we met. And you know, I've told you I was
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: listening to you alone and I just had a five's
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: gonna hanging. I'm gonna call Nick. Nick's always gonna like it,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: so I'm gonna call you. So you know, the people
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: that help the idea, Derek Neman, the Joneses for letting
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: you do it, and you and you're great producer, Dame Man.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate that you can say something you know,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: I mean the fool and show laugh to beat. Everybody's
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: barked up. That's for the cowboys. I'm trying to understand
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: and understanding this stalary cap in piration, thinking how this
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: thing works out. My biggest take from that is you
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: have you have a good thing. We all know that
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: in every year, you're gonna you're gonna lose guys.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Right, you're getting close to answer, you're getting close to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: being cut off. We just were. Your phone is struggling,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: You're you're a second team all storyline. Your phone is not.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Your phone is not. I don't know if it's a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: connection issue or not. Let's strive again, though, keep keep going,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: see if we can get through this one.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I think it's the house.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna take care f snick. You can't hear me.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Now, let's try go for it all right.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate that on all Thtory line stuff. But
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: as far as the Cowboys, you had some pretty good years,
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: you know, twelve and five, twub and five, twelve and five,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: you came up short. And that's the problem. That's what
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: I think. With guys getting better and all pro and
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: this and that, you know, you gotta pay these guys
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: and then your glue guys they get a little bit better,
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: and you got to go with that little instead of
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: the thirty million and forty and fifty that the other
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: guys to make. You got to go with that seven
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: eighty nine. And you're gonna lose guys, and you hope
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: to get better guys. But in the end, no matter
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: what you build, no matter how you do it through
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: free agency, you have to win. The guys came up short.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: We had a great team, We had everything in place,
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: but we came up short. And we didn't you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: the two years before were saying faw, we were in there.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: But it was so embarrassing and it hurts so much
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: last year that nobody kind of showed up. That's why
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: I think everybody is kind of going crazy. And I
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: appreciate Jones for what they're doing. They're taking their time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: They haven't really done Dak yet. You know, he's my
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: favorite player, so it hurts me. But if he has
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: to go, he has to go if he's not getting
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: the job done. So that's basically what I had to say. Man,
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: Michael Posts is an anomaly to the guys that said
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: trade him, He's an anomaly. Bro, he's not getting traded.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: And see the lamp. Those two gonna get paid. Now.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Who else is gonna get paid? I don't know, but
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: those two are gonna get paid. So thanks Nick Man.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Sorry the new house man, the new house and it's
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: just crazy over here with her.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Well that's okay. I appreciate whatever he did, stepped outside
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: or did something that it seemed to work. So that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: was all good. Thank you for the call, Thank you
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: for the passion, Anthony as as always, Yeah, I don't
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: have a lot of good responses there for you. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure you know who's gonna get paid next
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: either on how that's that's gonna work. You know, you
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: said if Dak's not getting the job done, you what's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the job. That's that's the thing. That's that's that's where
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: it is with him, is what's what's the job? Is
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: it winning the Super Bowl? That No, he hasn't gotten
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the job done, and neither has any other quarterback played
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: here in the last you know, three decades really, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it is the job to be one of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the best and to to give yourself an opportunity and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: play well and then the big moments. You know, for
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the most part, he's done that. They haven't gotten the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: job done in the playoffs. We all know that, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it starts with Dak. But do you want to start
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: over and get someone else? And that's that's the question.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys are at that point right
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: now that where they want to do that. So all right,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: let's go to Michael. He's in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but that you go, oh oh, I was thrilled
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: with that. When I heard how was about writing, I
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: was about halfway.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you were. Yep. It's good to hear from people,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: even like the first time. Again, if anyone's calling for
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the first time or listening for the first time. We
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: did an all storyline team based off of last season,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: which was the first year of the show, and I
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to give back to and On and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: recognize some of the callers that have called the most
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and have really given the most contributions to the show.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: So we did an honorable mention. We did a third team,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: second team, first team for Michael. Yeah, you were a second.
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: Team, right, second team.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of calls and really carried Kentucky. I mean,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: you're probably ninety seven percent of all the calls that
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: came from Kentucky.
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I heard. I think Louisville or like, not much.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable. I will say this. I will say this was
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: even with you on the line here. I looked this up.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Texas by far had the most calls from Texas was
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: like two sixty, and then second was Florida. There is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a five way tie for third place. I guess if
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: you will, for the next five states all at forty
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: seven calls. I was going to tell Chris this, forty
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: seven calls a five way tie on the states. Kentucky
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: is not one of them because you didn't because you
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you would have had to call almost every time. But
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of it was kind of
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: interesting that the big big jumble there of states, so
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: we're all over the country. I love it all right, Sorry, Michael,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: go ahead, what you got.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: There's a lot of Cowboys fans in every in Kentucky,
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: the oh yeah, yeah, Bowling Green. You see Cowboys fans
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: all over the place. Uh, it's probably I went to
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: the Titans game last year, Cowboys Titans, and when the
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: game was over and we went, we went down onto
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: uh Broadway. There was just many Cowboys fans on Broadways.
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: There were Titans. But uh, I don't agree with the.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Titans last year. I'm sorry, I can't remember.
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, last year it was that game anyway, I think
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: it was near the end we won. Uh, but.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: There was two seasons ago, just letting you know.
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: Two seasons it was oh time fly Time f was well,
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: I went to that game. Now, I don't agree with
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: some of the callers. I think we've in the past,
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: we've kept that big names too long. I think seven
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: seven it was just you know, I think it's a
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: good move because you know, you pay him that kind
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: of money and maybe he plays fifteen sixteen games, maybe
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: he plays five, who knows. I'm just I'm glad they were,
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: you know, didn't overpay and everything twenty million bucks or something.
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: He'll do something. But one thing I'm I'm glad to
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: see Greg Ellis as a coach because he went to
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: my high school about five years after I did, and
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: Lizard Litt North Carolina East Wake High School. That's where
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: I'm originally from. And when I went to the Cowboys
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: stadium back to Irving one, and I took the tour
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: and I took pictures in the locker room. And years
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: later I looked at the pictures and I knew I
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: took a picture of Greg elliss locker, and right beside
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: Greg Ellis was Tony Romo. At the time, I had
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: no idea who Tony Romo was, because you know he
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: was he was. It was his first few years. And
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: later on I looked back and I went, that's pretty cool.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: I got a picture Tony Romo's locker right next to
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: Greg ellen But uh, now, I just I just think
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: it's it's uh, it's not too bad. Letting uh Letting
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: seven seven go. I think, Dak, I think you need
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: to stay. I mean, I think he's the best option
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: for the Cowboys, and h I'm just looking forward to
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: the next season, just coming season. I can't believe it
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: was two years ago.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Year, No, it was two years ago. And the quarterback
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: was Josh Dobbs. Yep, he played quarterback for that game.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: And so he wasn't that good in that game, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: so he thought, you know, surely he'll never beat the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Cowboys in any game he plays, he's not good enough
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: to win.
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: He did pretty I mean, it wasn't a runaway.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. It wasn't.
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: There were fans. There were Titan fans. I don't remember
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: what number Dobbs was, but they had had old Titans
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: jerseys with a different name on it had duct tape
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: over the name and could Dobs nice?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Nice? I like that place. I like Tennessee. It's it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: it's good. Yeah. So all right, okay man, thanks for
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the call. Michael, appreciate that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 10: The first time I was able to call it since
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: somebody team.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. All right, Well, you're on season two now,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: this is this is season two, and you're in the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: books now, so all right. Also in the books for
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the first time ever will be Devin in Minnesota's turn
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: down the turned down the computer I guess that's what
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you're listening to.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: How you doing, I'm good?
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: How are you good?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: What's up? Man?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Not much.
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: I just want to say thanks for taking the call.
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: I'm a third generation Cowboys fan. I grew up watching
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: you know, the Boys went through three Super Bowls in
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: the nineties. Okay, watching them with my dad and anyway,
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: just a couple of comments the first time, first time, yeah,
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: first time at.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: All?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Right, all right, what you got.
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: Just understand the uh, the frustration of fans. I think
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: if you look at the Packers loss in the playoffs
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: this year, you know, the game was basically over by halftime.
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: In the past couple of years, losing to the Niners.
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: You know, I understand the cap issues, but when you
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: see teams like the Chargers who are twenty four million
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: over the cap, and then they make some signings and
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: on like the last day before they have to be under,
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: they let go of a few big names and and
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: they're under, and it's just wondering, like what going on
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: with that? To me, it's all about DK. I think
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: Dak is a great regular season quarterback. I do not
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: think he is a great postseason quarterback unless he has
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: a stifling defense or an incredibly good running game, But
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: how do you get that without the cap space and
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: when you're paying him sixty million. Honestly, I'm kind of
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: happy with where everything is. And if everything goes down
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: the tubes this year and it sucks, I hope Cherry
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: blows it up, he gets rid of Dak. I'd like
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: McCarthy to stay, you know, three years of twelve and five.
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: I think McCarthy knows how to win. But honestly, when
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: it comes to the postseason, I just don't think Dak
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: sees the field the same. I think he kind of
• 36:42
  Speaker 11: tenses up and he just you know, when you go
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: back a couple of years ago and he had Cooper
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: and CD, I think I was CD's rookie year. You know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: CD didn't have a single catch. It was ten catches
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: to Cooper. The next year playing the Niners again, there
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: is after the big long, like eighty yard pass to
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: get him away from the goal line, there is another
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: pass like the next pass. There was a guy, a
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: cowboy running up the seam wide open for a touchdown
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: and they needed it, and he forced the ball to CD,
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: and you know, and it didn't happen. So I just
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: I don't think he sees the field well when it
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: comes to the postseasons unless he has a stifling defense
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: and or an incredibly good running game. I just don't
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: think we'll win a super Bowl with Dak. And I'm
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: ready for him to go.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Well, Devin, I don't think Dak is going
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to go. I appreciate the call. I mean, that's and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and that, and you're not the only one that thinks
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that way. I mean there's people that that don't ever
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't ever see it. If they've never
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: they've never seen it before, then it's not going to happen.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So in eight years, if if Dak hasn't led them
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl, then he never will. I mean,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that's that's the mentality. I just don't see that way,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I'm not. I'm not that that way.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I grew up and you know, I'm
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: sure there's people in in in Boston that lived their
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: whole life and never saw the Red Sox win the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: World Series. We're same with Chicago, we know with the Cubs.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just giving examples. I mean, you don't ever see
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: it until you see it. And so I don't I
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily believe that. Now you can you can argue
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: with me on that and say the reason why you
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it is because he has isn't good enough.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: And that's fine. I mean, it's one thing to talk
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: about a player and nothing to talk about like a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: generation of of you know, decades of a franchise. I
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: understand it's different, but I don't necessarily think if it
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: goes back to it, I don't think that Dak is
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the reason why they don't win it. I agree that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: he needs help, though he needs help, And that's what
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: makes these contracts very tough, is because you know, they
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: they get the credit, the quarterbacks get the credit for
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the success, but yet he needs more guys around him,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and he needs a running game, without a doubt, he
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: needs he needs a running game. The way that teams
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: are built, they have to run the football, and they
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: have to run it in the playoffs, and you definitely
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: have to stop it in the playoffs. So I thought
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: they they got by with, you know, winning some games
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: in the regular season that way, but you know, it
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: does change a little bit when you get into the postseason.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Things kind of tighten up. A little bit. And you've
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: got to be able to run it when they know
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you're going to run it, and stop the run when
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you know they're going to run it. And they didn't
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: do that, And so hopefully that's that's the play in
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: h moving forward to to kind of change that now.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: It is a little ironic that you don't only have
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a running back on the roster until you re signed
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: ric o'daddell yesterday. And but I mean, I don't think
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: he's going to be the answer. I think he might
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: help compete, but I mean, I don't think he's he's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: your answer there at running back. But I think it's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: more than the back. I think it's the it's the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: actual philosophy, the blocking scheme, and the guys that they
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: have up front. They got to be able to fix that,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all right. Who is next there? Mike? Is it Mike
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in New Mexico? Mike, Yes, sir.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: How's it going, Harry?
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: How you doing good? Good? So a couple of things
• 40:20
  Speaker 12: from a first time caller, just a little frustrated. And
• 40:28
  Speaker 12: I'm not even frustrated with the Cowboys. I'm frustrated with
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: some fans right now. I tell my son all the time,
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: when we do our job. When the front office does
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: their job as a front office, they draft well. They
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: have to save some money to pay some people don't.
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: I don't believe that we just throw money at at
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: seven year pros that are either hit or missed.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: We know those are all a.
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: Fifty to fifty gamble. I've seen it done before. I'm
• 41:05
  Speaker 12: a fan of drafting. I'm a fan of buildie M team.
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: I agree that we need to address the run game.
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: I agree that we need to address the blocking scheme.
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: I think that has more to do with us not
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: having success more than just hey, let's throw Derrick Henry
• 41:26
  Speaker 12: at it. Like Derrick Henry. Yes, well he's been great.
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: Yes he's a big name. However, he's twenty eight years
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: old or something like that, or thirty years old. I
• 41:37
  Speaker 12: don't believe that's the answer. I believe we need to
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: draft well this year, like we've done in the past.
• 41:44
  Speaker 12: That's where we've always answered our question at running back
• 41:48
  Speaker 12: has always been drafting a player. Just believe. I know
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: everybody's upset, but relax, we're gonna be fine. We're gonna
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: draft a running back. We're probably gonna pick up Connor Williams,
• 42:01
  Speaker 12: at center to help us out and something like that,
• 42:04
  Speaker 12: We're gonna be fine. We need to address left tackle.
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: I think we need to bring Tyron back. But as
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: far as throwing millions of dollars out a running back,
• 42:13
  Speaker 12: I don't believe.
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: That's the answer.
• 42:14
  Speaker 12: Let's get Dak a contract because that's the foundation and
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: we go from there. We have to get Dak CD
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: and Mica done and that's where the money's gonna go to.
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: That's what I believe.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I agree, I agree with the drafting part.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he said about Tyron sounded like
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: you said, maybe bring him back. I maybe I didn't
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: hear that correctly, Tyron said Connor Williams. I thought I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: heard him say Tyron though too. Maybe not, But you say,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I know I heard the Connor Williams part. I heard that,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and he would be he's injured and he would be
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: an option at center, and I don't I don't know
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: if that's that's going to happen. I would he surprised
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: if they they went back that route again. I thought
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I heard him say tyrannt Maybe he didn't. Either way,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it's a good time to just reiterate that Tyron Smith
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: has agreed to a deal with the Jets. He's gone
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: and he'll he'll finish just I don't know if he'll
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: finish his career with the Jets, but he'll he'll definitely
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: go to the AFC. Him A little surprised by that move. Honestly,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just surprised to see him somewhere else. I mean,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: it's you know, the last time the Cowboys started a
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: season without Tyron Smith, Wade Phillips was the head coach.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's how far it goes back back
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to the twenty ten. It's the last time without Tyron.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: So what a career he's had already, and what a
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: career he's had with the Cowboys. And I think he'll
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer at some point in his career.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: You know, this is this this looks like a Larry
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Allen type move. You know, Larry finished his career with
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: the with the forty nine ors so and I think
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl. You know, he still still
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: had enough in the tank there. But I agree that
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: that the draft is gonna have to be where it's at.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: And I with Mike with the caller from New Mexico
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: first time caller. I definitely agree that that has to
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: be the focus. Well, I mean, it's got it's got
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: to be that, right. It's not gonna be free agency.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have the money to do anything
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: really in free agency. They'll do maybe a couple more
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: moves here and there, but at this point, you're not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: gonna get guys you just feel comfortable. But with starting.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to draft guys to go to
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: go start, and they're gonna have to to get some
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: some players on this roster that are have they're gonna
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: have to be starters. You know it could you know,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you could go through the entire list and say, all right,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: we need you to to step up now and be
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the guy. You know, Sam Williams is one of those,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: for sure. Sam Williams is a guy that has to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: be Adorn's armstrong. So that's then there's several more like that.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: T J.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Bass and or Hoffman might be another one.
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: That way is well, Matt will let's go you know
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: at tackle, I mean somebody like that. You know, he
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: has had some shoulder injuries. If he can ever get healthy,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: you know, if that ever can happen, then he has
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to do some things. They like what they
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: see with him. They he just gets hurt. And so
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: it's those shoulders And I don't know if that's ever
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: going to get better, but if so, he's got the frame,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: he's got the size, he's smart. I mean, he could
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: be one of those guys you just have to it
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: has to, you know, come together health wise for him.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: All Right, who is next? We got Erwin, Erwin and Denver?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good?
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I'm great, man? Thanks for asking.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just wanted to touch on a couple
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: of things with you, get your take on it. You know,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I've been kind of listening a little bit about people
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: calling in about Dak Prescott, and I'm not really a
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Prescott hater or anything like that. He's one of those
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: kind of quarterbacks that I mean, he does great during
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: the regular season and then kind of like breaks your
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: heart in the playoffs, you know. And I will say
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: this though, I mean, everybody's excited about him until you know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: those things happen, and then it seems like, you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: people start turning on him. But I guess it just
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: comes with the game with you know how it's how
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it goes. But one of the things that I'm kind
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: of looking forward to actually is I want to see
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Trey Lance in the preseason. I want to see if
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: they really let him go out there and compete and play,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: because it kind of reminds me of the same situation
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: when Tony Romo was a rookie and he kind of
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: balled out during the preseason. I'm not mistaken. He kind
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: of took bleds those plays, didn't he.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: A little? I mean, yes, he took his place as
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: a starter. I mean, one hundred percent he did in
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the middle of the year, but he got more reps
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: in the preseason. Uh. Bles was surprised by that. Parson
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: else was he didn't need to see bletso in the
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: preseason he wanted to see Romo. And that might be
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the case. That's definitely gonna be the case with Dak.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: It was a different time too. I mean, Dak's not
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: gonna play. It might be the case with Cooper Rush.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: You know, right, the QB two You mean for Cooper Rush, Yes,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is is he might not take
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: over as as the backup quarterback, but he might get
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: more reps in the preseason so they can figure that out.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I think I think they would prefer him to be
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the backup. I mean, he's gonna be making a lot
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: of money here, that's backup money. They want him to
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: be the backup, so and probably not have Rush on
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the team if they're trying to save money. I mean,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: the ideals is you give up a fourth round pick
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: last year for a guy you expect him to be
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: a backup, especially if he started games and he's been
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. If he can't be a
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback, I don't know if he's got much potential
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: at all. So I think it's time for him to
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: show that he can be a backup.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Trade Lance, Yeah, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I just hope that, because you know what, trade Lance,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: he has to be pretty good. I mean considering I mean,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: they drafted him like what number four in the first round,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: but they a lot of people saw a lot in him,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: and for the forty nine ers to just kind of
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: give up on him after four games, and plus he
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: was a little bit hurt, so it's just kind of
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: strange to me.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you can look at it either way. You
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: can look at it and say, well, the forty nine
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: ers drafted him high. You could also say the forty
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: nine ers cut him or traded him, you know, so
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: he gave up on him. A coaching staff that has
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have, you know, a lot of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: respect for them, so maybe they saw what he isn't.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but I mean I
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: think it's you know, the Cowboys feel like it's worth
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: a fourth round pick to try, you know, Juniorown. I mean,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: he played as much as your last year's fourth round pick,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Junior Forejoko, I mean played, they played the exact number
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: of games. So, you know, fourth round picket. Sometimes it's
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: worth it because you're not always going to get a
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: lot of value out of that. Sometimes you get a
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in Dak Prescott. Sometimes you get Charles Tapper.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, fourth round.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that first time for I'm sorry that
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: was our win in Denver. Not a first time caller,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: but Daniel in Longview is a first time caller.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: Daniel, Hey, Nick, how's going man?
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Good Man?
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: How are you not too bad? I'm at work, so
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: I'm glad I got to get through running a pest
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: control business out here.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Man, Hey, I'm a massive Dack fan to the point
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: I actually I cried when he got hurt a few
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: years ago.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: We all did. Man, that was that was as bad
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: as it was. It was. That was tough.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was brutal. It does at some point get
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: hard to defend him. But I still think he's what's
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: best for this team. I think getting rid of him
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: is crazy to me, regardless of the money, because it
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: is hard to find a quarterback. I think people forget about,
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: you know days like Clint Sterner and things like that.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: But my question for you would be, I know, they
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: just added the two void years onto the back end
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: of his contract in the event that, for whatever reason,
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: they just don't get him resigned, because I think we've
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: all been in situations where our feelings get hurt and
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: you're like, hey, if you don't know, if you don't
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: want me, I'll go to somebody who does. Do they
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: just go complete rebuild? Maybe? Yeah? I know we all
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: we've been hard on Maca, But I mean, do you
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: just you know, not resign him to try to rebuild,
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: maybe keep CD and see what you can get for
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: Mica and rebuild from there.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Well, let me let me just before I answer that,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: let me also throw in what that minor restructure is.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: And I say minor relative to the cap, not that
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: four million dollars is minors to any of anything, but
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: cript the key part of that whole deal was the
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: fact that they added those two voidable years that you mentioned,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: and he had to agree to that, and he did.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: This move opens the door even wider for them to
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: re sign him long term. And I think if there
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: was any question whether or not that's going to happen,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: it was kind of, you know, solidified with this recent move.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I think they are going to sign him long term.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: They didn't create four million dollars on their cap because
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: they needed to go sign a running back or whatever.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: That's not what this was about. What this was about
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: was giving them an opportunity to sign him long term.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: So to answer your question, I think they are going
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: to sign him to an extension. I'm not even gonna
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: entertain that thought about well, how do they rebuild. I
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: think that they they believe that he's the guy, and
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: what he showed last year the whole body of work,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean he was he was number two
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: in the in the NFL and you know for MVP,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: And if you want to say that doesn't matter, fine,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: well maybe it doesn't. The guy who won it didn't
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: do anything either, you know, in the playoffs. So it's
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: all you know, it happens, But it's all about the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: body of work, what they've done and him progressing as
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. And I think they think he did that
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to the point where they don't want to see him.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: The worst thing in the world that could happen, you know,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: football wise, to Jerry Jones, is to watch Dak Prescott
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: hold that trophy up with another team. It was bad
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: enough with the DeMarcus Ware. Can you imagine Dak Prescott
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: and if he thinks it's possible with another team, then
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: he feels like it's possible with this team. So I
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna let I say all that to say,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna let it go to the quarterback.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: And I apologize if I cut you off, Daniel, if
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: you have another question, go for it.
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: No, hey man, that's great. That's what I want to
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: hear Isa, I love Dak personally. Like I say, there
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: is time for you. It's hard to defend it. But man,
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: the whole team that show up against Green Bay, so
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: it's not just him, right, I would love to see
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: them keeping But I know you got other callers and
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: people trying to get through. I must called twenty sometimes
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: last week, So okay, thanks for taking my call.
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: I've been listening since before you went to training camp.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: So nice.
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: Keep doing what you're doing, and I'm coming for that
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: All Storyline team.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: You going for it all right, Daniel. I appreciate that.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate it.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: I think we struck a nerve a little bit with something.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying with Daniel, but just uh, you know,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like, you know, I'll call a little
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: bit here and there. You got to set a goal
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: for yourself early on in the season, right, and I
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: think I think, you know, the All Storyline team kind
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: of caught people by surprise, like, oh wait, surprise, surprise
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: that we're playing for something, you know. I mean, it's
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: it's different when you're just out there, you know, if
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you're out there shooting hoops, you know, outside in the
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: yard and it's like, well, whoever wins this game of
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: horrors one hundred dollars? You're like, hold up just a second. Here,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: here we go, you know. Or if you're playing cornhole
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: or something like that, you know something. Now we're talking
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: silly game. Yeah, yeah, a silly game. It's not that's
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: not it's silly. It's silly when you're beating Chris like
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: ten to four and he's getting mad, and next thing
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you know, with like three throws, you're you lost twenty
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: two to ten. You're like, what just happened? You're like, yeah,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I've played Chris and cornhole and he's he's he's as
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: good as there is. So if there's any kind of
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: cornhole league or whatever, I'm taking Chris. If he wants
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: me on his team, he probably doesn't. We can do it,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: all right, all right? We got more callers here, Yes,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: we do. Dylan in Northport, Florida, who is on the
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: all storyline team.
• 54:36
  Speaker 13: Dylan, So, hey man, how's it going good?
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: How are you good?
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Just tuning in.
• 54:43
  Speaker 13: I haven't been listening to have to listen back, So
• 54:45
  Speaker 13: if I'm not repeating anything, I'll be able to have said.
• 54:46
  Speaker 13: But speaking of aholl storyline. My wife, actually, she was
• 54:50
  Speaker 13: so proud. I told her, you know, I got on
• 54:52
  Speaker 13: the team and all that, and she actually ordered me
• 54:53
  Speaker 13: a little trophy thing with my name Ona and the
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: Cowboys all storyline and the star and all that. So
• 55:00
  Speaker 13: that comes in. I'll take a picture and sendip on Twitter.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Everybody who's good idea, Everybody who's
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: listening that made it. Tell your wife or girlfriends or
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: whatever to get you a trophy and do that and
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: then we don't have to do anything. I'm just kidding.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: I'm thinking.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: We're going to do some T shirts. I promise you that.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: And if if my boss won't pay for it, Chris
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Bean will pay for it. He already told me. But yeah,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: now we're gonna do it for sure. But that's awesome, though,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be as cool as
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: a trophy. Your wife's school for that. Get her something
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 55:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, no, I'll give her something.
• 55:40
  Speaker 13: Come on, now, I know, I know, man, you sent
• 55:43
  Speaker 13: me up.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: You set me up.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: I know I did it. I did it, set you up.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: You went there, go for it.
• 55:48
  Speaker 13: Let's go talking cowboys here. I like what the Cowboys
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: do as far as their strategy with the draft. I
• 55:56
  Speaker 13: love that they treat their pixels gold because that's how
• 55:58
  Speaker 13: you build a roster. In my opinion, you can that
• 56:00
  Speaker 13: talent on talent on talent because everybody's so cheap that
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: you're getting out.
• 56:04
  Speaker 11: Of the draft.
• 56:05
  Speaker 13: We're seeing now we're going to pay some guys here
• 56:07
  Speaker 13: coming up soon with CD and micas, so we're going
• 56:10
  Speaker 13: to be in a bit of a hole there, a
• 56:11
  Speaker 13: bit of a tickle, but I like they typically keep
• 56:14
  Speaker 13: their draft picks something I would like to see them
• 56:17
  Speaker 13: do better. And I guess now specific to this season
• 56:20
  Speaker 13: there they restructure so many deals in the past, is
• 56:23
  Speaker 13: like credit card spend. Right now it's catching up to
• 56:25
  Speaker 13: them and they're deciding to go ahead and pay that
• 56:27
  Speaker 13: bill instead of pushing it down the road. So I mean,
• 56:30
  Speaker 13: that is what it is. But I would have liked
• 56:32
  Speaker 13: to have seen them. I hate to say all in
• 56:35
  Speaker 13: because you know that's what Jerry said, but but sign
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: a big guy, maybe do a couple of restructures like
• 56:41
  Speaker 13: and signed somebody like a DJ Reader. He went to
• 56:43
  Speaker 13: a team for a thirteen million a year for two years,
• 56:45
  Speaker 13: which was way less than what he was anticipated to
• 56:47
  Speaker 13: make elsewhere, So I think that would have been a
• 56:50
  Speaker 13: big name at the defensive tackle that could have helped
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: put them over the top after three twelve and five seasons.
• 56:55
  Speaker 13: That just screams to me. After three twelve and five
• 56:58
  Speaker 13: is to be like, wow, like we're on a f
• 57:00
  Speaker 13: window's not gonna last forever. Let's make a move. And again,
• 57:03
  Speaker 13: I know they're a strapped for cash this season, but
• 57:05
  Speaker 13: I would have loved to have seen them figure something
• 57:07
  Speaker 13: out like that and just add one or two names,
• 57:09
  Speaker 13: not trade ficks for anybody, but in fregency, just just
• 57:12
  Speaker 13: do a couple of restructures and maybe sign a big
• 57:14
  Speaker 13: guy like that to help him get them off the top.
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: But I want to know what your philosophy is on
• 57:17
  Speaker 13: on like what would you do differently if you were
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: the Cowboys as far as like drafting versus free agency
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: versus trades.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the call, Dylan, as always, and good
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: luck with the trophy there. That's pretty cool that you
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: got that. You know, I said this a little bit
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: earlier in the show that my philosophy would be not
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: this sounds sounds bad, but I think my philosophy is
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: not to have one uh, not to have a philosophy
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: all the time that's set in stone. I think you
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: have to build for the draft because if you can,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: if you draft well enough, that that should be where
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: it starts. I mean Deron Lands a perfect example of that.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: You know, good player in the fifth round. They stole
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: one in the fifth round last year, I mean led
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: to the team in picks. He's going into the next
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: year as the third corner and then next thing you know,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: he's an All Pro that's sitting there as the Defensive
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year finalist. And I don't think he's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: making a million dollars. I don't think his base salary
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: is as a fifth round pick. Now he might get
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit more money because they NFLPA has like
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: an incentive program for guys that play really well and
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: and you know, exceed expectations and all that. But I
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: mean his salary is low, you know, and and it
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: still will be. So you want to build through the draft.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: But but my philosophy would I would alter it. You
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: know at times I would look at and I agree
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: with you, there this team right here, Yeah, you could
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: use them another player. I just really don't think they
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: had they had the money. They just don't have the money,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: and it was in a much more dire situation. And
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: it's not going to get better before it's you know,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: it's where it's gonna. I mean, it's definitely gonna get
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: worse before it's better, talking about the contract. So the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: best way to offset that is to draft well and
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and hope that you've already drafted well. You know, like
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: I said, I keep mentioning these names. There are some
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: players out there that they drafted that that haven't really
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: gotten a lot of playing time. They haven't been better
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: than the guys ahead of them. But now it's it's
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: kind of starting to cycle their way. They've been here
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: two or three years. It's time for them to step up,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: you know. And I've named a few. I'll throw some more.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, a Damon Clark, you know it's time.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I mean he's started, but he needs to play better,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: you know, Juanier Thomas. You know, at Marquise Bell, they
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: played some. I think they need to play more at
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: their position than that. Seawan writes another one that I
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned. You know, I'm a schoonmaker. Maybe Peyton
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Hendershot as well as Jalen Brooks. Jalen Tolbert, that's one.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: That's that's a big one. Jalen Tolbert, third round pick.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Gave you a mull again the first year. Second year,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: you did a little bit more to maybe keep him
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: off special teams. You know, let's don't let him play
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: corner out there where the fake punts will happen. But
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I mean let him play receiver. That's that's what he's
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: gonna do. Michael Gallups no longer on the team, and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: that's he should He should be that guy, third round pick,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: that should be you. So it's time to open the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: door for those guys to kind of step up. All right,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: we got David in fort Worth.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 14: Hey, Nick, how are you doing?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you good?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: Brother?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: Good?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to quickly touch on the Dak thing
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 14: that everybody's kind of talking about and then maybe get
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 14: your opinion on this because maybe I'm just tripping, but
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 14: like I feel like Romo was at his best, you know,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 14: like the twenty twelve thirteen fourteen season around the times.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 14: You know, obviously there's you know, different things going on,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 14: but certainly the twenty fourteen season and I feel like
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 14: that was after the Cowboys had drafted phenomenal offensive line
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 14: from him, there's a run game with DeMarcus Murray and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 14: uh DeMarco Murray, and yeah, I mean I want to
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 14: I want to say that Tony Romo is my favorite
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 14: Dallas Cowboy of all time, of all time, like he is,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 14: like it's not even close, to be honest in my opinion,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 14: And but I still will recognize that, like, you know,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 14: even he you know, benefited greatly from like a you know,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 14: a great offensive line and you know, a great run game.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 14: And when people say that like Dak has always let
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 14: them down in the playoffs, like I'd argue that the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 14: entire team has. I mean when you think about like
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 14: twenty eighteen against the Rams and it was like two
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 14: hundred and fifty something rushing yard against US and the
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 14: defense just was nowhere to be seen. I mean, it's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 14: just every time I feel like it's not just Dak
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 14: and it all and it certainly wasn't always just Romo
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 14: in the playoffs, but unfortunately they always got to blame.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 14: And I recognize like the duality between the two. And
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 14: I also feel like Dak's getting unfair criticism.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 11: The way Romo did.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to throw that out there. Sorry, little
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 14: out of breath, Ben and Wilson's I call it in, man,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 14: But I do want to say I appreciate the mention
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 14: on the all storyline team. Yeah, I got you know,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 14: the third team, All thirteam, All Storyline. I say, I'm
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 14: getting better next time. I do appreciate you recognizing that
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 14: obviously as a baby. I also want to mention that
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 14: I have a three year old as well, so that's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 14: that's it wasn't just the baby. I have a three
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 14: ye old as well, and he got a supergression. Everything happened,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 14: and it feels a little weird saying this now, but
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 14: I was telling my wife. I was like, hopefully, hopefully
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 14: I'll make it. Hopefully they recognize that I'm like the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 14: Tyrant Smith, which feels weird because you're not here anymore.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 14: But I'm much a Tyrann Smith, like I'm not always there,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 14: but whenever i'm there, I shine, you know what I mean.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 14: So I appreciate the recognition, man, and I hope you
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 14: have a great day again. I'm going to continue to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 14: try to call it and I'm always listening.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 14: I appreciate with you and Chris do and all the fans,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 14: you know what I mean. So I appreciate you man,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 14: Thank you, David.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, I have three year old myself
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: and I can't imagine if there was another baby there
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: in the house. But but yeah, good luck to you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: on that. Appreciate the calls and the and the tweets.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I mean they had text lines stuff that he you've
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: done on David, So you're good stuff. As for the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Romo Dak part, I mean, yeah, they're they're they're very
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: similar in their their career except for like kind of
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: when they started playing as far as like first year
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: for Dak and then you know, Romo kind of waited
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But the thing with Tony is, as
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: you're right, I think once once he really figured it out,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, he he figured out how to throw it,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: how to kind of torque his body a certain way,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: how to make certain plays, how to read coverages, understood
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: what was going on. As soon as it seemed like
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: he really figured it out, and once he did, his
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: body said all right, that's enough, and it's too bad
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: that they didn't kind of you know, correlate, correlate the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: same if you will, like at the same time, not
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: that he didn't have it figured out when he was playing.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: He was a great quarterback, but I mean, I really
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: think he was at the top of his game mentally,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: and I feel like Drew Brees was kind of the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: same way, you know, once he really kind of got
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: and he was able to to play a few more years.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Romo didn't get that opportunity, and that's kind of a shame,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: but it did. It did allow Dak to kind of
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: do his thing. And and so I think what you're
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: asking is if Dak can kind of looks like he's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: figuring some things out. You know, he led the league
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: in interceptions two years ago and led the league in
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: touchdowns last year. But he's got to figure it out
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We know that for sure. So good
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: stuff there, David.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 6: All Right, Zach in Atlanta, Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm good.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: It's been a while.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 15: Haven't called, probably since the last week of the regular season,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 15: but yeah, I listened every day, and I appreciate you
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: continuing on to the fans and yeah, the Cowboys Nation,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: but I haven't been listening to the show yet today,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 15: So I'm jumping in for Uh, but I want to
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 15: share a few thoughts. One obviously, uh lve retiring. You know,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 15: we're gonna miss him and feel for him, wish him
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 15: the best in his uh next journey, whatever that is.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 15: And losing Tyron Smith is a is a big one too.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 15: And you know, I'm thirty and I haven't seen a
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 15: championship in my adult life, and so just hurts man
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 15: hurts to see some of these really good players, uh
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: depart and not be able to secure a ring or
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: even an NFC championship in their time with the Cowboys.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 15: And so you know, maybe maybe Tired can make it
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 15: happen with the Jets Aaron Rodgers. We'll see, But uh,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 15: that's that's asking for a lot too. But uh yeah,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 15: I just have a lot of great players over the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: years I've loved and I just wish it would have
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 15: been a little different for their story in Dallas. But
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 15: can I for much more than the All Pro career
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 15: for Tyrone and Lvee and all that.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: But one thought I have.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 15: You know, especially on the idea of Tying leaving, there's
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 15: all this talk about drafting tackle and O line and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 15: the draft, which I think we need to do. But
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 15: there's also, man, we we draft really well, and I
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 15: think we have some guys on the team who who
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 15: we need to plug and play. I mean, I really
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 15: like TJ.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: Bass.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 15: I really like there was all this talk about Austome
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 15: Richards and you know, maybe seeing what we have in him.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 15: But I don't know, I just feel like there's all
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 15: this talk about us being able to draft really well,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 15: which I believe and I see and I don't know,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 15: I'd like to see us continue to develop some of
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 15: these guys and give them a chance. I don't know,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 15: what are your thoughts there.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for the call, Zach, and I think you
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: might have just missed a couple of minutes before that
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: because I was I agree, I mean a hundred percent.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: I think that I named some of those guys. That's
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: it's time to see, you know, how how they've been drafting.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I've always said it takes about three or four years
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: to really see what what your draft class looks like.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Let's let them go through all of their contracts and
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: you know sometimes I mean, I'll never forget the two
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight draft. After the first year, I thought
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: that was gonna be one of the best drafts ever.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight. I mean you had Felix Jones
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: and Martell's Bennett and you had uh Choice and Scandrick
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Mike Jenkins. I mean those guys after after one or
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: two years. I mean that that draft was that was
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a great, great draft, and you know
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: it turned out to just be okay. I mean Scandrick
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: was the best player of that draft. I think you
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: can argue that. I mean, Martell's Bennett had a good career,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: not with the Cowboys, but but you know, I had
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: a good career. I still think if you would have
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: played offensive tackling, could been one of the best players
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: to ever played. But he didn''t do that. But I
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: just think you have to let these these classes kind
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: of marinate a little bit, and so it's time to
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: see what the twenty twenty one, twenty two, you know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: twenty three, definitely twenty three. You need to see what
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three can do. And twenty four has got to
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: be good. I mean, it's got it, it's got to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: be good. But I just I agree with you. There's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: there's five or ten players where it's their time. It's
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be their their time to shine. They've been they've
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: been kind of geling in the back here, but now
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: now it's time to move move forward. You know, it's
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: like a college team. You know, you're not asking all
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: the freshmen to come in and do some stuff. By
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the time you're a junior, though senior, you're here, you've
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: been in the program. It's your time to shine. And
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: this is kind of the way it is for these
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: guys here. All right, that'll do it for this show
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: went a little over, but you guys kept calling great stuff.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Thirteen calls gotten all over the map, had some more
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: first time callers which is great, and had some of
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: the regulars called in and can't wait to hear who
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: calls in on Thursday. We'll do it all again on
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We
• 1:09:16
