- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:02Speaker 2: He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
- 0:04Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette.
- 0:33Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman.
- 0:33Speaker 3: It's Wednesday, March eighteenth. We are ten days into free agency.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Now.
- 0:39Speaker 3: It's funny how you free agency started officially a week
- 0:44Speaker 3: ago and it's just like it's it's dead now. You know,
- 0:47Speaker 3: it's a dead period. There's always a second wave, and
- 0:51Speaker 3: we're starting to see some things, not really from the
- 0:53Speaker 3: Cowboys standpoint, but we did see, you know, things around
- 0:57Speaker 3: the league, and we'll continue to have stuff. I think
- 1:00Speaker 3: the Cowboys aren't aren't finished yet. I think that they'll they'll,
- 1:04Speaker 3: you know, there's another move or two still in place,
- 1:08Speaker 3: maybe trades trade wise, players coming in, maybe some leaving.
- 1:13Speaker 3: So I still think there's a couple of scenarios where
- 1:16Speaker 3: there there will be a trade for the Cowboys.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Maybe they they signed some in free agency.
- 1:21Speaker 3: But I think, you know, obviously the big splashes probably
- 1:24Speaker 3: they're not gonna happen unless it's in the trade. But overall,
- 1:28Speaker 3: let's hear what you guys think about what the Cowboys
- 1:30Speaker 3: have done so far. I think most people are relatively
- 1:35Speaker 3: positive with with what they've seen. Knowing that this offseason
- 1:40Speaker 3: still isn't complete. Because you still have two first round picks,
- 1:42Speaker 3: you have a chance to do some things there eight
- 1:45Speaker 3: A eight eight FI five two two nine seven is
- 1:48Speaker 3: the number to call. Brian in Kansas City calls it
- 1:50Speaker 3: more than anyone. Brian, what's up?
- 1:54Speaker 4: I love the introduction.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Thanks, that's a good thing. That's a good thing.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Or you may not call it more than anyone, but
- 2:01Speaker 3: you get through more than anyone.
- 2:04Speaker 5: Ah.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm telling you, man, I must have the super
- 2:08Speaker 4: secret hookup or something.
- 2:09Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, dedication love it? How
- 2:12Speaker 1: are you?
- 2:14Speaker 6: Hey? Man? Good?
- 2:15Speaker 4: I First of all, I've always said this twice because
- 2:18Speaker 4: it always sounds weird week I think when you compliment
- 2:22Speaker 4: a man. But I love the shirt today, man.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that.
- 2:26Speaker 4: It's a cool looking shirt.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 2:28Speaker 4: I was thinking about the oh and I want to
- 2:30Speaker 4: say a shout out. I didn't get the chance to
- 2:34Speaker 4: call for the last week or two weeks, I guess,
- 2:37Speaker 4: and the last time I listened to a show, Ali
- 2:41Speaker 4: said something very nice about me, and I just wanted
- 2:43Speaker 4: to say thank you.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Of course, Allie does that. He has a way of
- 2:48Speaker 3: saying some super nice things about everybody, so he.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Does find the best in everybody.
- 2:52Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, that's a good way of saying it.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I like that.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I was thinking about free agency, you know, and listening
- 3:01Speaker 4: to the intro to the show today and thinking that
- 3:05Speaker 4: this is kind you know, people being upset at this
- 3:09Speaker 4: point in free agency is kind of like those people
- 3:12Speaker 4: that give draft grades right the morning after the draft
- 3:17Speaker 4: is over. They're like, all right, well this team failed
- 3:19Speaker 4: and this team goes. You can't you don't know anything
- 3:22Speaker 4: for two years, man, Yeah, you know, you just don't.
- 3:25Speaker 4: That's just the way it is.
- 3:26Speaker 7: You know.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Here we are going into year three for Tyler Geydon
- 3:31Speaker 4: and we still don't know if he's a starting left
- 3:34Speaker 4: tackle for sure, right, and same thing with Overshown. We
- 3:38Speaker 4: don't know what we have there quite. You know, we
- 3:41Speaker 4: think we in both cases, you know, we hope, you know,
- 3:44Speaker 4: those guys are going to be great players for us,
- 3:47Speaker 4: but due to the circumstances, we really don't know that yet.
- 3:51Speaker 4: You know, looking at free agency this year or not
- 3:53Speaker 4: free agency the off season compared to last year. The
- 3:58Speaker 4: two best players we got last year year we're Booker
- 4:01Speaker 4: and Pickens, and at this point in the year they
- 4:04Speaker 4: weren't on.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The team yet.
- 4:06Speaker 4: You know, we got a long way to go. I
- 4:09Speaker 4: do think that the three guys, the three main guys
- 4:13Speaker 4: that got a couple more than that. But the three
- 4:15Speaker 4: main guys, you know, at defensive back and Gary on
- 4:22Speaker 4: the defensive line, I think they're all starters, or at
- 4:24Speaker 4: least potentially. I don't know if Corner maybe or maybe not.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Depends on everybody's health, but he started a lot of
- 4:32Speaker 4: games for the Rams, you know, So I think we
- 4:36Speaker 4: have given ourselves enough insurance that going forward. Just like
- 4:44Speaker 4: last year, everybody screamed you have to take a wide
- 4:46Speaker 4: receiver in the draft. That turns out, no, we didn't.
- 4:51Speaker 4: The best wide receiver we got was after the draft, so,
- 4:55Speaker 4: you know, just you know, you hate to say it,
- 4:59Speaker 4: but the only thing we could really do is be
- 5:01Speaker 4: patient as the process goes on, because you know, three
- 5:06Speaker 4: months from now we may be looking back and saying,
- 5:08Speaker 4: holy cow, this team is retooled and ready to go.
- 5:13Speaker 4: So but I do like those three pickups and the
- 5:16Speaker 4: you know, some of the other you know, the offensive linemen,
- 5:19Speaker 4: backup guy that they got. You know, I think I
- 5:22Speaker 4: think the three main pickups that we've had so far
- 5:25Speaker 4: are all starters or potential starters. And and those three
- 5:31Speaker 4: are all on defense, which is what we've all said
- 5:33Speaker 4: we need. So I do think it's been a good
- 5:36Speaker 4: start to the off season program, man, And I'll hang
- 5:40Speaker 4: up and listen to what you have to say. Brother,
- 5:41Speaker 4: good to talk to.
- 5:42Speaker 1: You, you too, Thank you. Burn.
- 5:43Speaker 3: He talks about the three biggest ones. I don't know
- 5:46Speaker 3: if he named them exactly in order or together, but
- 5:50Speaker 3: Sean Gary Jalen Thompson the safety and then uh, Kobe
- 5:56Speaker 3: Durant the corner from from the Rams. And I think
- 6:01Speaker 3: there's a lot of people just surprised that he was available.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Kind of feels like he sort of slipped through the
- 6:08Speaker 3: cracks a little bit. Uh, you know, they they picked up,
- 6:12Speaker 3: they signed a lot of money for McDuffie, kind of
- 6:14Speaker 3: made him expendable, and uh, there's just good, good vibes
- 6:18Speaker 3: around him. Uh, you know, he had a conference call
- 6:22Speaker 3: yesterday and and you know, I don't like to compare
- 6:26Speaker 3: players based off you know, especially the ones that haven't played.
- 6:29Speaker 3: But he does give you some Jordan Lewis type vibes
- 6:32Speaker 3: of being a smaller guy with with you know, a
- 6:35Speaker 3: chip on his shoulder, and he's played that way his
- 6:37Speaker 3: whole career and you know, and you know, it's just
- 6:40Speaker 3: somebody that's not afraid of the moment, not afraid to
- 6:43Speaker 3: go make plays and can play a little bit inside.
- 6:46Speaker 3: I think the difference with him and Jordan Lewis is
- 6:49Speaker 3: that I think Durant can play, actually plays more on
- 6:51Speaker 3: the outside. He's smaller, but he's played out there and
- 6:56Speaker 3: he started out there, where whereas Jordan Lewis really never
- 6:59Speaker 3: did that. But but I'm not talking about that so
- 7:02Speaker 3: much as as more as just a guy that that
- 7:04Speaker 3: can be has some dog in him. Even though he
- 7:07Speaker 3: doesn't look like the big dog, he still can can
- 7:11Speaker 3: kind of play that way and give you a little
- 7:12Speaker 3: bit of an edge. We'll see. He hasn't stepped on
- 7:16Speaker 3: the field yet. I said he hadn't even met his teammates,
- 7:19Speaker 3: but he just kind of gives you that that those
- 7:22Speaker 3: vibes there, at least he does for me. All right,
- 7:24Speaker 3: Chris and Saratoga Springs is next.
- 7:28Speaker 8: What's going on? Nick, how are you?
- 7:29Speaker 1: And good? How are you doing?
- 7:31Speaker 8: Not too bad to get your bracket filled out yet?
- 7:34Speaker 3: You know, not not yet. I haven't really filled it out.
- 7:38Speaker 3: And uh have you?
- 7:39Speaker 8: You're in the you're in the Yeah, I got I am,
- 7:42Speaker 8: I got I got my name in there. I filled
- 7:44Speaker 8: it out the other day. I'm ready to go.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yeah, when this calls over, I'm gonna I'll throw out
- 7:49Speaker 3: more of the information for anybody that didn't hear or
- 7:52Speaker 3: see that they're doing a bracket this year for the
- 7:55Speaker 3: for the storyliners. So I want to see who's got
- 7:58Speaker 3: the bragging rights for that.
- 7:59Speaker 1: But who do you like? Who's a you gotta cender?
- 8:03Speaker 1: Are you a chalk guy?
- 8:04Speaker 6: That just yeah, I'm a little I'm.
- 8:06Speaker 8: A little chalk. I like Arizona. I think they're just
- 8:10Speaker 8: too big. I like their chances this year.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Yeah, there, it's gonna be interesting. We'll see if my
- 8:17Speaker 3: Razorbacks can get there to face them in the in
- 8:21Speaker 3: the third round or so. But we'll see, we'll see.
- 8:24Speaker 3: It should be fun, all right.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you got? What do you got about
- 8:27Speaker 1: this team?
- 8:29Speaker 8: I guess my favorite signing is Thompson. I think he's
- 8:32Speaker 8: gonna make a huge difference in the back end of
- 8:34Speaker 8: our defense. He's versatile. TP is gonna put him in
- 8:37Speaker 8: the right spot. He's gonna have a lot of fun
- 8:39Speaker 8: with him, I think on the on the back end.
- 8:41Speaker 8: I mean, we struggled last year in the back end,
- 8:43Speaker 8: and I think him and Locke with Hooker in there,
- 8:46Speaker 8: it's gonna make a huge difference.
- 8:48Speaker 1: So I absolutely.
- 8:49Speaker 8: Love that signing. I think it's under the radar a
- 8:51Speaker 8: little bit, but he's fantastic. In my opinion, He's gonna
- 8:55Speaker 8: make a big difference.
- 8:57Speaker 9: I really would like us to.
- 8:58Speaker 8: Make a move at linebacker somehow via trade or even
- 9:02Speaker 8: if it's somebody like Bobby Wagner. I know, you know
- 9:06Speaker 8: not you know, he's thirty five years old, but man
- 9:08Speaker 8: of the Year class act. He could be a mentor
- 9:11Speaker 8: for all these young guys if we, you know, bring
- 9:13Speaker 8: in a couple of draft picks. I think if we
- 9:16Speaker 8: don't get anybody via trade, a person like Bobby Wagner
- 9:18Speaker 8: I think would be a perfect fit as a mentor.
- 9:21Speaker 8: I mean, he's still was the power football focus was
- 9:24Speaker 8: in top ten or eleven last year, even when he
- 9:26Speaker 8: struggled a little bit in the pass coverage. I think
- 9:29Speaker 8: the run game. He's fantastic. Still even at forty five,
- 9:31Speaker 8: he's ageless. So I definitely would like to see if
- 9:35Speaker 8: we don't get anybody by trade, look at Bobby Wagner.
- 9:40Speaker 8: Other than that, every day the passes gets one day
- 9:42Speaker 8: closer to my favorite time of year, and that's draft time.
- 9:45Speaker 8: You know, me a big Ohio State fan. So I
- 9:46Speaker 8: would love any one of those four Ohio State top players.
- 9:49Speaker 8: It would be fantastic for us. Not sure we're going
- 9:52Speaker 8: to get him at twelve unless we trade up a
- 9:54Speaker 8: little bit, but I would love to get one of
- 9:56Speaker 8: those four. And that's all I got for today.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Nick, all right, I'm with you.
- 10:01Speaker 3: I mean, I'm starting to think that a trade is
- 10:05Speaker 3: probably you know, a trade up.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Would would make sense.
- 10:09Speaker 3: I mean, and it's hard to think that way when
- 10:12Speaker 3: you do not have a second round pick and you
- 10:14Speaker 3: just picked up a third for OHSA, which we really did.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Haven't talked about since that happened right after the show,
- 10:20Speaker 3: or that happened that day after the show. But I
- 10:25Speaker 3: just feel like the way the board is kind of
- 10:28Speaker 3: set up, you know you're going to get good players,
- 10:33Speaker 3: and you can get two good players and maybe you know,
- 10:36Speaker 3: potentially chance for those to developing to be great players.
- 10:40Speaker 3: But I don't know, there's something about this the way
- 10:44Speaker 3: it's lined up. I think you could go up and
- 10:47Speaker 3: maybe I think I'd get up into that top five
- 10:50Speaker 3: or six to try to get the you know, one
- 10:53Speaker 3: of the really elite players. I think I'd be okay
- 10:57Speaker 3: with that. You'd have to trade twelve in. But I
- 11:02Speaker 3: think this year that that would make sense to me,
- 11:05Speaker 3: you know, if you really feel strongly about a guy
- 11:08Speaker 3: like that. Now, you know they've done it before, and
- 11:11Speaker 3: they did it for Mo Clayborn and and I'm sure
- 11:14Speaker 3: there's people in the building that scared off by that
- 11:17Speaker 3: because that certainly didn't work out, But.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know it, I.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Could just see a scenario there. But but I think
- 11:24Speaker 3: what will probably happen is is that they do the
- 11:27Speaker 3: scouts do with their mock drafts, and and you know
- 11:30Speaker 3: before you know, they'll do it for like a week
- 11:33Speaker 3: or so before they do it all the time, and
- 11:35Speaker 3: you know, they they get plugged in with everybody around
- 11:38Speaker 3: the league and they say, all right, you know that
- 11:40Speaker 3: this is this is what this team is gonna do.
- 11:42Speaker 1: What if they do this and that? So they run.
- 11:44Speaker 3: It back several times and I think if they feel
- 11:48Speaker 3: like there's a few moments where the players that they
- 11:52Speaker 3: want do fall to them, then then they probably won't
- 11:55Speaker 3: won't trade up. But if they're just wiped out for
- 11:57Speaker 3: their their top picks every time, then that's where I
- 12:00Speaker 3: could see Jerry maybe getting on the phone, you know,
- 12:04Speaker 3: during Draft Day and say, all right, let's let's see
- 12:06Speaker 3: if we move up. I think they can move up
- 12:08Speaker 3: or down this year, just depending on how it falls.
- 12:12Speaker 3: All right, Randy, Texarkana, What.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Hey, so all right with you saying that? Then on
- 12:20Speaker 5: Draft Day, with the fact that they've got the two
- 12:24Speaker 5: number ones on pickings right now because of the tag,
- 12:29Speaker 5: would you consider a draft day move with that? I would, personally,
- 12:33Speaker 5: I love pickings. I'd love to have him on that offense.
- 12:36Speaker 5: But if somebody desperate calls you and says, hey, okay,
- 12:40Speaker 5: I'll give you the two number one for pickings, I
- 12:43Speaker 5: would pull the trigger and then think about what that'll
- 12:46Speaker 5: do for you And let me ask you, so, does
- 12:50Speaker 5: it depend on what kind of first round picks the
- 12:53Speaker 5: team has, Like if it's one this year, one next year,
- 12:56Speaker 5: or if they've got two this year, How does that
- 12:58Speaker 5: exactly work?
- 12:59Speaker 3: It's honestly, it doesn't even have to be two number ones.
- 13:05Speaker 1: It is.
- 13:06Speaker 3: It is the same with like these second round tenders
- 13:08Speaker 3: with bass and stuff like that. You're probably before yesterday, Randy,
- 13:13Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought they would get two number ones
- 13:16Speaker 3: for Pickens.
- 13:18Speaker 5: If so after what Miami.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Did exactly, if you look at what Wadel got then yeah,
- 13:24Speaker 3: I mean I know, I know it was a late first.
- 13:26Speaker 3: It's the thirtieth pick, it's still a first. It still
- 13:28Speaker 3: comes with a five year option, fifth year option. So
- 13:32Speaker 3: I think I think Pickens is every bit worth two
- 13:35Speaker 3: number ones. So what it would probably be in that
- 13:38Speaker 3: scenario would be on the on draft day, a team
- 13:41Speaker 3: calls and says, hey, we'll trade for Pickens. You'll get
- 13:44Speaker 3: our pick this year and probably the first round or
- 13:46Speaker 3: next year, or or it could be one and two
- 13:50Speaker 3: this year, which I think would be a little bit
- 13:52Speaker 3: more enticing for the Cowboys. I mean, no, no, no, I'm
- 13:59Speaker 3: two number ones is always better, but I still think
- 14:02Speaker 3: they would be. They would lean towards well, we can
- 14:05Speaker 3: get one or two, yeah, if someone wanted to do that,
- 14:07Speaker 3: but yeah, because you could.
- 14:09Speaker 5: Man, you could absolutely remake your team with that scenario,
- 14:12Speaker 5: with our already to one another one you could go
- 14:16Speaker 5: out make your own trade for a defensive end and
- 14:19Speaker 5: then linebacker, cornerback, you know whatever, is so wide open
- 14:24Speaker 5: at that point that I mean, I'd hate to get
- 14:26Speaker 5: rid of pickings, but my goodness, you could. That would
- 14:29Speaker 5: be a heck of a rebuild just off of that
- 14:31Speaker 5: one trade. And that's funny that you were talking about that,
- 14:34Speaker 5: because that's actually why I was calling in.
- 14:36Speaker 8: So yeah, that's about all I had.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Yeah, And and and I don't know if you said it,
- 14:40Speaker 3: but wide receiver would obviously be a huge, you know,
- 14:45Speaker 3: a needed you know that that would be one that
- 14:48Speaker 3: I don't think you can get through your first round,
- 14:51Speaker 3: whether you have another pick or not, or even the
- 14:53Speaker 3: second and not go with.
- 14:55Speaker 1: The with that with a wide receiver if you did that.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So uh, And I.
- 14:59Speaker 5: Think it wide receiver heavy this year, or not say heavy,
- 15:02Speaker 5: But isn't there at least a good five or six
- 15:06Speaker 5: really good ones right there at the top.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean I have seen I'm looking at
- 15:12Speaker 3: mock draft that's coming across the screen right now, and
- 15:15Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think what the Cowboys are
- 15:17Speaker 3: hopeful is that two receivers go ahead of them, one
- 15:21Speaker 3: for Ohio State, and then maybe there's one from USC
- 15:27Speaker 3: that has a chance. In this mock draft, he actually
- 15:29Speaker 3: goes his name Makay Lemon. He actually goes behind the
- 15:33Speaker 3: Cowboys at thirteen. But that would be one that you know,
- 15:36Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys would love for. You know, obviously
- 15:40Speaker 3: Mendoza the running back from Notre Dame.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Love.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Maybe two linemen, two receivers, that would be great. Maybe
- 15:47Speaker 3: maybe Simpson from Alabama the quarterback. You know, maybe he
- 15:51Speaker 3: has a great Pro day and can kind of get
- 15:54Speaker 3: himself into that mix.
- 15:55Speaker 1: More offensive players the better.
- 15:57Speaker 5: Yeah, and we only really need one of those top
- 16:00Speaker 5: defensive guys that fall to this. Of course you'd love
- 16:02Speaker 5: to have a two or three man option. But one
- 16:05Speaker 5: of those top guys falls, that's that's great. Stay where
- 16:08Speaker 5: you're at and get him. And the only thing I
- 16:10Speaker 5: got left, man, is this morning I was shaving with
- 16:13Speaker 5: my Gillette razor and I started thinking, you know, if
- 16:16Speaker 5: you put your left shoe on the wrong foot, technically
- 16:21Speaker 5: it's on the right foot. All right, brother, Love you
- 16:24Speaker 5: talk to you later.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Oh man, I love.
- 16:28Speaker 3: I love a good a good dad joke, you know,
- 16:31Speaker 3: So that's it's not the worst one.
- 16:33Speaker 1: It's fine.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Love Randy and Texas Canna.
- 16:37Speaker 1: He's kind of.
- 16:38Speaker 3: The He's the one always brings us some miles to
- 16:41Speaker 3: my faith. You know what This next one does as well.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Doesn't get to call as much, but he always is
- 16:47Speaker 3: the originator when it comes to the callers. Joe in Stanford, Texas. Joe,
- 16:51Speaker 3: what's up man?
- 16:53Speaker 6: What up?
- 16:53Speaker 10: My friends?
- 16:54Speaker 6: Good to talk to you.
- 16:56Speaker 3: I think I would like for Joe and Randy to
- 16:58Speaker 3: hang out. I think that would be fun. I think
- 17:00Speaker 3: y'all would would be y'all would be dangerous. I think
- 17:04Speaker 3: a little bit a little bit dangerous.
- 17:05Speaker 11: Joe.
- 17:05Speaker 5: How you doing, man, I'm doing great.
- 17:07Speaker 7: Man.
- 17:08Speaker 10: It's good to get in. Some circumstances have changed, so
- 17:12Speaker 10: I might be able to get in a little bit
- 17:13Speaker 10: more here in the future.
- 17:15Speaker 6: So that'd be super.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, love it, love it.
- 17:19Speaker 10: So I've been doing a lot of them, my drafts.
- 17:21Speaker 10: They got this cool draft simulator, a couple of them actually,
- 17:25Speaker 10: uh and you know, just actually actually doing it.
- 17:28Speaker 1: A little bit too.
- 17:29Speaker 10: Much obsession with it a little bit.
- 17:30Speaker 8: But yeah, but it's fun.
- 17:32Speaker 10: I have a good time doing it. So I think
- 17:36Speaker 10: for me, what I'd like to see, I mean, if
- 17:38Speaker 10: they moved up and got Caleb Downs, I'd be great
- 17:42Speaker 10: with that. Honestly, I've watched a lot of film with Styles,
- 17:46Speaker 10: and I know he's like an athletic freak, but I don't.
- 17:50Speaker 10: I just don't. I don't think he's worth moving up
- 17:52Speaker 10: for it. I think he overruns a lot. I don't
- 17:54Speaker 10: think he's as good instinctually as i'd like to see.
- 17:57Speaker 10: For somebody you'd have to give up that much for it.
- 18:00Speaker 10: I'd like to see at twelve the way things are
- 18:03Speaker 10: falling because there's so many defenders going in the first
- 18:06Speaker 10: several picks, it's crazy, Like every single one I run,
- 18:10Speaker 10: it's like it's like it's like ninety percent defense. It's insane.
- 18:15Speaker 10: But Jermar McCoy keeps falling at twelve. I love Jamar McCoy,
- 18:20Speaker 10: and I think a whole year of more than a
- 18:22Speaker 10: year eighteen months of recovery after knee injury should be enough.
- 18:25Speaker 10: It's pro Day is next week, and I hope he
- 18:28Speaker 10: does good because I think he'd be great at twelve.
- 18:31Speaker 10: What I do think at twenty, I think we really
- 18:35Speaker 10: should be trying to get some more picks out of that.
- 18:38Speaker 10: I think that we could move down and still get
- 18:41Speaker 10: somebody like Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech. A lot of
- 18:45Speaker 10: people are not like super impressed with him athletically, but
- 18:49Speaker 10: I think, you know, getting somebody who really knows how
- 18:53Speaker 10: to organize a defense can improve every down on that defense.
- 18:58Speaker 10: I think for me, McCoy and Rodriguez as the top
- 19:02Speaker 10: two picks for us would rule. I think that'd be great.
- 19:05Speaker 10: I had a question for you, what do you think
- 19:08Speaker 10: about the running back with Arkansas? Because I like him
- 19:11Speaker 10: and like that on my fourth round pick piece still around.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, good stuff, Joe, appreciate that call. Hope,
- 19:19Speaker 3: hope we can hear from you more. Mike Washington his
- 19:26Speaker 3: name Washington, running back from Arkansas. He he he actually
- 19:35Speaker 3: was was really impressive to me. He's got a couple
- 19:38Speaker 3: of highlights that I think are going to you know,
- 19:40Speaker 3: like when he does get picked, you're going to see
- 19:44Speaker 3: a couple of things. Number one you're going to see
- 19:45Speaker 3: is forty times that they'll show it, you know, him
- 19:48Speaker 3: running and maybe him crying because he was very emotional
- 19:52Speaker 3: about it, and those those those forty times. I mean,
- 19:56Speaker 3: these guys spend so much time training to get prepared
- 20:00Speaker 3: to how to run at the combine and then when
- 20:03Speaker 3: they do, and they run like that. I mean, he
- 20:05Speaker 3: has built like a truck runs, you know, I think
- 20:08Speaker 3: it was four three three. You'll see some highlights. There
- 20:12Speaker 3: was a run he had against Texas. Obviously Arkansas didn't
- 20:15Speaker 3: win the game or really any games last year, but
- 20:18Speaker 3: he had a couple of runs in there, really strong
- 20:22Speaker 3: and powerful. So you combine that with the speed, I
- 20:27Speaker 3: think he's a poor man's Jeremiah Love really because Love
- 20:31Speaker 3: runs in that same four three six and he's four
- 20:34Speaker 3: three four and but you know, Love has done it
- 20:36Speaker 3: for longer. But I think he's he's that good. So
- 20:41Speaker 3: I don't know if he makes it to the fourth round,
- 20:43Speaker 3: just when you look at the combination of that speed
- 20:46Speaker 3: and power. But you know, fumbling is an issue with
- 20:50Speaker 3: him too. I mean they lost a game against Memphis
- 20:53Speaker 3: because he fumbled inside the ten, so with the game
- 20:57Speaker 3: on the line, so he's got you know, he'll have
- 20:59Speaker 3: some some issues there. But I like his game and
- 21:03Speaker 3: I think he would be you know, he's gonna be
- 21:05Speaker 3: good for somebody. All Right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 21:09Speaker 9: What's going on?
- 21:10Speaker 1: Hey, buddy, how you doing, man?
- 21:12Speaker 5: I'm good, trying to make it.
- 21:14Speaker 12: Man, it's been crazy trying to get in and I
- 21:16Speaker 12: got this new job going on, so I just tried to.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Get in when I came.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, love it.
- 21:22Speaker 12: I've been trying to catch up. I've been out of
- 21:24Speaker 12: town for the last couple of weeks, so I've been
- 21:27Speaker 12: listening to everybody else. I think it was with two
- 21:29Speaker 12: other people that called they got new jobs, so congratulations
- 21:32Speaker 12: to them. But I've been watching, you know, trying to
- 21:35Speaker 12: catch up on everything, and I didn't get to speak
- 21:39Speaker 12: too much on the coaches, So I'm gonna say I
- 21:41Speaker 12: love all the new coaches, editions and stuff like that.
- 21:44Speaker 12: Looks like they're trying to start something new or do
- 21:47Speaker 12: something new, if anything. And then as far as this
- 21:52Speaker 12: free agency, I hate to see OLSA go, but I
- 21:54Speaker 12: know that's.
- 21:55Speaker 5: Part of the game.
- 21:56Speaker 12: I was listening to one of the other podcasts and
- 21:58Speaker 12: they were talking about how, you know, they this is
- 22:01Speaker 12: why players don't want to take hometown discounts and stuff
- 22:04Speaker 12: like that, and they want to take as much money
- 22:06Speaker 12: as you can. And as a fan, you want them
- 22:09Speaker 12: to be as loyal to the team, but like at
- 22:12Speaker 12: the drop of the hand, they could be traded and
- 22:14Speaker 12: stuff like that. So I understand where that comes from
- 22:17Speaker 12: and why people get mad at players when that's I mean,
- 22:20Speaker 12: that's part of the game.
- 22:21Speaker 5: That's the job.
- 22:22Speaker 12: Like you take the money while you can, because you
- 22:24Speaker 12: never know when you when your career could be over,
- 22:27Speaker 12: you could be moving from somewhere else. And especially they
- 22:30Speaker 12: said he got he was getting the house built out there,
- 22:33Speaker 12: so that kind of that kind of sucks.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna build that house.
- 22:37Speaker 3: I mean, trust me, trust me, these players, they some
- 22:41Speaker 3: of them played with the Cowboys, finished with the Cowboys,
- 22:44Speaker 3: they all come back to Texas for a lot of reasons. Yeah,
- 22:48Speaker 3: he's gonna build that house. There's no doubt about it.
- 22:50Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, especially when it comes was gonna live
- 22:54Speaker 3: in San Francisco forever. No, he's building that house.
- 22:58Speaker 1: He'll, he'll.
- 22:59Speaker 3: I mean, but you make good points, and I don't know,
- 23:01Speaker 3: I'm sure that sounds like a former player that was
- 23:04Speaker 3: talking about that, about that that reality and and and
- 23:07Speaker 3: it's true. I mean, you know, why should he take
- 23:10Speaker 3: a hometown discount to stay with the Cowboys and build
- 23:12Speaker 3: this thing when then all of a sudden they get
- 23:15Speaker 3: Quinn Williams and Kenny Clark around them. Next thing, you know,
- 23:18Speaker 3: he's the one out. So no, I get it. It's fair,
- 23:21Speaker 3: and I don't nobody wanted to see osa go, you
- 23:25Speaker 3: know as far. Oh oh, so the the person, the player,
- 23:30Speaker 3: you know, I mean, he's he's a he's a really
- 23:32Speaker 3: good player. I don't think I don't think his contract
- 23:35Speaker 3: matches the play that that he gave you.
- 23:38Speaker 1: And if I'm being honest.
- 23:39Speaker 3: I just and I thought he played a lot better
- 23:42Speaker 3: when Quinn Williams got here. Oh yeah, but you know,
- 23:46Speaker 3: so you think about that, You're like, all right, well
- 23:49Speaker 3: maybe some maybe you know, we can we can get
- 23:52Speaker 3: something for it. So I think both sides were happy
- 23:55Speaker 3: about that. You know, the Cowboys picked up a third
- 23:58Speaker 3: round pick they didn't have and got got out from
- 24:01Speaker 3: under that contract.
- 24:03Speaker 12: Yeah, and I'll leave with this. I don't want to
- 24:06Speaker 12: hold up the line too long. And my question was
- 24:09Speaker 12: if you had I know, we're I personally, I wasn't
- 24:14Speaker 12: real big on the Max Crossby trade, So I mean,
- 24:17Speaker 12: if we would have made it happen, I was been
- 24:19Speaker 12: okay with it. But I'm kind of glad we're keeping
- 24:22Speaker 12: the two first because honestly, at this point, to have
- 24:24Speaker 12: that fifth year option on whatever players we get, I
- 24:27Speaker 12: think that's a that's a big thing. But now that
- 24:31Speaker 12: we have an extra third round, who would be or
- 24:34Speaker 12: what position would be your I would say, like dark
- 24:37Speaker 12: horse the draft in that third round.
- 24:39Speaker 5: And I heard you earlier kind.
- 24:40Speaker 12: Of talking about running back, but outside of running back,
- 24:44Speaker 12: like my dark horse the draft, if we was to
- 24:46Speaker 12: do anything in that third round, would probably and I
- 24:49Speaker 12: hate to say it because I love him, but get
- 24:51Speaker 12: a tackle. I mean, get a tackle. At this point
- 24:56Speaker 12: we need one. Because I love Terrence Steel he plays
- 24:59Speaker 12: one hundred for one every every snap, and I love
- 25:02Speaker 12: Tyler Guyton, but when he's not reliable as far as
- 25:05Speaker 12: being on the field. So get a tackle. You get
- 25:08Speaker 12: you some defensive players in the first those first two picks,
- 25:11Speaker 12: and you get to.
- 25:11Speaker 5: The third round.
- 25:12Speaker 12: Like I said, it may be a dark horse and
- 25:14Speaker 12: it may not even have none out there, but I mean,
- 25:17Speaker 12: why not really unless you unless you just are determined
- 25:20Speaker 12: to do defense. I wouldn't be mad at that neither.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Yeah, But other than.
- 25:24Speaker 12: That, man, I ain't gonna hold you too long, and
- 25:26Speaker 12: I'll listen to what I can.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Thanks, Lewis, appreciate that you know I in the third round.
- 25:31Speaker 3: If you're if you're at the end of the third round.
- 25:33Speaker 3: I mean, I think you're you're taking the best player
- 25:36Speaker 3: that you've got on the board. I mean, uh, I
- 25:39Speaker 3: I was asked about running back. I don't really think
- 25:42Speaker 3: they would go with running back right there unless he
- 25:45Speaker 3: was absolutely the best guy on the board. They think
- 25:47Speaker 3: he could come in and have a role and and
- 25:49Speaker 3: you know, maybe offset what they're doing with Javonte receiver.
- 25:53Speaker 3: I mean I could see any position, I mean tackle, Yeah,
- 25:57Speaker 3: if there's one that that you you like, certainly I
- 25:59Speaker 3: would and be opposed to a tight end. You know
- 26:02Speaker 3: what what's gonna happen here with with Schoonmaker. You know
- 26:05Speaker 3: this is his last year, and I mean he nothing's
- 26:07Speaker 3: guaranteed with him. Span forwards looks pretty good, but we'll
- 26:10Speaker 3: see what happens in a bigger role with him. Tight
- 26:13Speaker 3: End could be on the table. My point is at
- 26:15Speaker 3: the end of the third round and then everything after that,
- 26:18Speaker 3: you're you're taking guys that you've scouted and that you
- 26:22Speaker 3: really like. So there's nothing off the table. When when
- 26:25Speaker 3: when you when you get that pick? So all right,
- 26:27Speaker 3: let's go to JR. And Avondale before we go to break.
- 26:33Speaker 6: Man.
- 26:33Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 26:35Speaker 7: Finally got through again? So Derek does a great job
- 26:39Speaker 7: with the show, but just sentim a shout out for
- 26:42Speaker 7: me that need to expand this format to more shows
- 26:46Speaker 7: so get more conversation with all the storyliners. But anyway,
- 26:51Speaker 7: one hundred and seventy eight days until the first weekend
- 26:53Speaker 7: of the NFL football and forward to that, I was
- 26:57Speaker 7: a little disappointed and how pre agency started getting like
- 27:02Speaker 7: a b minus. The light was shot on Gary, but
- 27:05Speaker 7: I kind of think he's Robin and maybe we hit
- 27:08Speaker 7: their batman yet, if that makes any sense, it's disappointment.
- 27:15Speaker 7: I think is not addressing line backs.
- 27:18Speaker 13: I know as much.
- 27:19Speaker 7: We've talked about that on the show.
- 27:20Speaker 3: But hey, j R, I got a question for you
- 27:23Speaker 3: before I forget. Is Quentin Williams not a batman like? Yeah?
- 27:31Speaker 7: I think he is.
- 27:32Speaker 3: But are you talking more about just end defensive end?
- 27:38Speaker 3: Do you want Gary to be like the other end?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 27:41Speaker 7: But I mean I kind of wanted them to. I
- 27:45Speaker 7: liked Owagh and then Mafi, but then when you look
- 27:48Speaker 7: at what Oway got paid, I got paid like twenty five
- 27:50Speaker 7: million a year. That's kind of out there. So I mean,
- 27:53Speaker 7: looking for a guy like like that, it's when I'm
- 27:56Speaker 7: when I was talking about but Quentin Williams is. He's
- 27:58Speaker 7: an outstanding player, absolutely, but I wanted him to get
- 28:03Speaker 7: someone at linebacker or at least I guess what what
- 28:07Speaker 7: I'm trying to get at is I really wanted them
- 28:10Speaker 7: to just improve at every position. I know, you're not
- 28:13Speaker 7: going to go out there and get all the top
- 28:15Speaker 7: names and all these positions, but get better, get better
- 28:19Speaker 7: at the edge, get better at linebacker, and get better
- 28:21Speaker 7: in the back end of the defense, which they did
- 28:23Speaker 7: a really good job at. I think Thompson's going to
- 28:26Speaker 7: be a stud I liked picking up. I was surprised
- 28:30Speaker 7: that Bryant was available to get I think that I
- 28:36Speaker 7: think he's a surprise.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Which one? Who is? Which one? Are you surprised about
- 28:41Speaker 1: the cornerback?
- 28:41Speaker 7: Bryant d don't Kobe Bryant. I got it. I knew
- 28:47Speaker 7: I wrote that down so I wouldn't screw that up.
- 28:49Speaker 7: And I screwed it up anyway.
- 28:51Speaker 3: You know, when when I saw Kobe Durant was the name,
- 28:54Speaker 3: I was just like, man, this guy's this guy might
- 28:56Speaker 3: be the greatest NBA player of all time if you
- 28:59Speaker 3: like put in together.
- 29:01Speaker 7: Those are actually till my till my favorite players with
- 29:04Speaker 7: Kobe and still Kevin Durant. But anyway, moving on, I
- 29:11Speaker 7: just got a couple of questions about Bobby Wagner and
- 29:17Speaker 7: a guy like Joey Bosa. Do you think bringing one
- 29:20Speaker 7: of those guys on and I know they've they've been around,
- 29:23Speaker 7: but do they help this team or are you in
- 29:26Speaker 7: that we better trying to get Corney back? And then lastly,
- 29:30Speaker 7: I'm kind of underrated sign I think I like Sam
- 29:33Speaker 7: Howe bringing him in.
- 29:35Speaker 10: I think he.
- 29:36Speaker 7: Bringing something else as a backup quarterback, but does that
- 29:41Speaker 7: say anything about where they sit with Joe Milton. Anyway,
- 29:44Speaker 7: That's all I got and I'll listen to what your
- 29:48Speaker 7: thoughts on that and have a great day and go.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Kind books, all right, thank you, Jair.
- 29:55Speaker 3: I think yeah, I mean, I think signing Sam Hound
- 29:57Speaker 3: tells you a little bit what the think about Joe
- 30:01Speaker 3: Milton and that this is the time of year to cover,
- 30:05Speaker 3: you know, cover yourselves a little bit. It will be
- 30:07Speaker 3: a competition for for both of them. But but yeah,
- 30:12Speaker 3: I think that that there was a clear need to
- 30:14Speaker 3: kind of get better there and deck continues, everybody getting older,
- 30:18Speaker 3: and you know, and so you you you want a
- 30:20Speaker 3: guy in here that started games, Now he didn't obviously
- 30:24Speaker 3: play the best. He was in a situation in Washington
- 30:27Speaker 3: where they weren't winning a lot over there, and so
- 30:30Speaker 3: but he did play a lot, played seventeen games one year,
- 30:33Speaker 3: so he's, you know, serviceable, I think, is what you're
- 30:38Speaker 3: looking for in that in that role backup quarterback. When
- 30:42Speaker 3: you're talking about defensive guys, you know, veteran guys will
- 30:46Speaker 3: would Bobby Wagner help with Joey Bosa help?
- 30:49Speaker 1: You know?
- 30:49Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I mean, I think this is the
- 30:52Speaker 3: point where we'll see what happens in the next week.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Frequency is not over, so you'll see some things happen
- 30:58Speaker 3: this week and maybe even the next week, and then
- 31:01Speaker 3: there will be a little bit of a of a
- 31:03Speaker 3: break as they head into the draft, and then after
- 31:06Speaker 3: that there's another wave of all right, we didn't get this.
- 31:09Speaker 1: And this, now what can we do?
- 31:11Speaker 3: And and I could see some of these veterans, maybe
- 31:14Speaker 3: not these two, but I could see veterans like that
- 31:17Speaker 3: that now afterwards, you know, And that's what happened with
- 31:19Speaker 3: the Cowboys last year. They they were looking at receiver,
- 31:22Speaker 3: they were probably drafted. McMillan didn't it didn't fall. He
- 31:26Speaker 3: didn't fall to them. So then they're like, all right,
- 31:28Speaker 3: what are we gonna do. Let's go go get for go,
- 31:31Speaker 3: get pickings. So the post draft is still you know
- 31:34Speaker 3: the word, We're not even close to being done as
- 31:38Speaker 3: far as the NFL goes. Uh, the Cowboys still have
- 31:41Speaker 3: moves to make and all that. Now, let's go to
- 31:43Speaker 3: break here on Cowboy story I'm gonna come back. I'm
- 31:45Speaker 3: gonna kind of throw out my opinion of certain free
- 31:48Speaker 3: agent grades and something I think that you need to,
- 31:51Speaker 3: uh to make sure and not forget about. We'll be
- 31:54Speaker 3: right back here on Cowboys storyline Cowboys fans.

- 35:46Speaker 3: I think people care about march Mandinus in Kentucky.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Huh.
- 35:49Speaker 16: Oh, I got my my my pit, my my things
- 35:52Speaker 16: in I picked Michigan to win it all.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Michigan, Huh, who's your team? Who's your team team?
- 35:57Speaker 1: It's not You're not a Kentucky guy, are you?
- 35:59Speaker 16: No? No, North Carolina?
- 36:01Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 36:01Speaker 16: I picked them winning a couple, but I mean I'm realistic.
- 36:06Speaker 3: They got injuries, right, they've been dealing with Yeah, but
- 36:10Speaker 3: that's one of those teams too, where the front of
- 36:13Speaker 3: the jersey seems to matter, you know, it seems to
- 36:17Speaker 3: matter there, and they find a way. I've seen them
- 36:19Speaker 3: as an eight or nine seed one year make it
- 36:21Speaker 3: all the way to the final four.
- 36:22Speaker 1: So they can do it. They can do it.
- 36:25Speaker 16: So last year was all number one.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Yeah, So what have you got?
- 36:32Speaker 16: Well, I mean, you know, I hope we get another
- 36:34Speaker 16: free agent. I hope one of the big time defensive
- 36:37Speaker 16: players falls to us. But my question today is about
- 36:42Speaker 16: the Super Bowl trophies. Okay, I've done research, I've asked questions.
- 36:47Speaker 16: I can't get a straight answer, so I come to you,
- 36:51Speaker 16: all right. I've been to the old Cowboys Stadium. I've
- 36:54Speaker 16: been to the New One tours. I've seen the trophies there.
- 36:59Speaker 16: I know if you go to the Star and do
- 37:02Speaker 16: the tour, the trophies are there. How are they at
- 37:05Speaker 16: two places? I'm wondering, where is the trophy that Jimmy Johnson,
- 37:11Speaker 16: Tom Landry, you know, Switz or Jerry the ones that
- 37:15Speaker 16: they were presented, because from what I can understand, there,
- 37:20Speaker 16: if you go on the AT and T tour, like
- 37:23Speaker 16: I did, you see the trophies. And if you go
- 37:26Speaker 16: on the Star tour, you see the trophy? Where are
- 37:29Speaker 16: the real ones?
- 37:30Speaker 1: All right?
- 37:32Speaker 3: You know there's obviously some replicas out there. My understanding
- 37:36Speaker 3: is Jerry's got him in his office. He did it
- 37:38Speaker 3: in the past. This is one where I have this feeling,
- 37:40Speaker 3: you know, like when you play Who Wants to Be
- 37:42Speaker 3: a Millionaire, and you always you've seen that, you know,
- 37:45Speaker 3: and you have a phone or friend. This is one
- 37:48Speaker 3: where I would have Chris Bean, I have a feeling.
- 37:51Speaker 3: And we've never talked about this, but I have a
- 37:53Speaker 3: feeling Chris Bean knows this answer. So Chris, if you're available,
- 37:58Speaker 3: not on the phone.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Where the real Super Bowl trophies?
- 38:02Speaker 16: Yeah, it was presented.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Yeah, the real the real.
- 38:06Speaker 14: Ones are actually in the lobby now they used to
- 38:08Speaker 14: be in Jerry's office.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Those are the ones.
- 38:10Speaker 3: Are those ones that people put their little cheeto's hands
- 38:13Speaker 3: on and try to.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Touch and all that supposed to touch, the supposed to do.
- 38:16Speaker 1: But it happened.
- 38:18Speaker 17: Those are the real ones out there?
- 38:19Speaker 9: Yes?
- 38:19Speaker 16: Are they not at AT and C Stadium tour anymore?
- 38:23Speaker 15: Well, the one the ones that hand out are in
- 38:26Speaker 15: the arem at the Star.
- 38:28Speaker 1: There's five of them out there.
- 38:30Speaker 16: I won't say at and T Stadium.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I don't know. Replicas replica, I don't know. You can
- 38:38Speaker 1: buy a replicas, you can.
- 38:40Speaker 16: Okay, that's when I went. When I went to both stadiums,
- 38:46Speaker 16: I've seen, you know, seen them and fault you know
- 38:48Speaker 16: they were. I didn't know because when I went to
- 38:51Speaker 16: a T and T Stadium, the Star was not there yet.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe I was.
- 38:57Speaker 3: But I know for a long time they were in
- 38:59Speaker 3: Jerry's office at Valley Rams.
- 39:01Speaker 1: They were in Jerry's office. Yeah, I know. They just
- 39:04Speaker 1: have to grab them.
- 39:05Speaker 16: When he was on the yacht during the draft, didn't
- 39:08Speaker 16: he have the trophies behind him?
- 39:10Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 39:11Speaker 1: I guess, all right, he doesn't travel.
- 39:16Speaker 5: I appreciate it, all right, Michael, Jerry does not travel
- 39:21Speaker 5: with the trophies everywhere he goes.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Could he could, God, I don't think he does.
- 39:28Speaker 3: I love that, you know, I love that call because Michael,
- 39:31Speaker 3: he was just so you know, I hope they draft
- 39:33Speaker 3: someone else, or are they you know, signed someone a
- 39:35Speaker 3: free agency. Well, I gotta ask him why the trophies?
- 39:40Speaker 3: You know, he was really concerned about these trophies, Like,
- 39:43Speaker 3: how could they be in two spots? I don't know,
- 39:45Speaker 3: love it, love it good stuff. That's a diehard Cowboy
- 39:48Speaker 3: fan right there? All right, Derek in Seattle? How's it fun?
- 39:57Speaker 3: How fun is it to be a Cowboy fan in
- 40:00Speaker 3: the city where they won the Super Bowl?
- 40:03Speaker 6: And it's crap, It's total crap. All I point to
- 40:09Speaker 6: is the five.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I was about to say, argument, maybe those trophies should
- 40:13Speaker 3: be in Seattle, maybe we should move them up there.
- 40:15Speaker 1: You have five of them.
- 40:16Speaker 3: You're like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guys, I can't You know,
- 40:19Speaker 3: those two you have are cute, but I can't carry
- 40:21Speaker 3: these five? Can you hold them?
- 40:23Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 40:24Speaker 6: I know. I've been using that argument for over thirty years,
- 40:26Speaker 6: though Nick, we.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Did, we had a fresh one. Yeah, and then they
- 40:29Speaker 1: come back and say, yeah, y'alls have dust on them.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I get it.
- 40:34Speaker 6: Oh well, but any I like what they've done in
- 40:37Speaker 6: free agency. To me, the secondary killed this team last year.
- 40:42Speaker 6: There were so many plays where the pass rush couldn't
- 40:44Speaker 6: even get there because the ball was out in two seconds.
- 40:47Speaker 6: Sky's wide open. So I love the safeties. I love
- 40:51Speaker 6: the corner. Disappointed they hung on the Hooker. I don't know, hopefully,
- 40:57Speaker 6: I don't know, but I'd love to see him draft
- 40:58Speaker 6: another corner.
- 40:59Speaker 1: Why don't you don't title only Cooker?
- 41:02Speaker 10: Oh?
- 41:02Speaker 6: I called it a few months ago and said that
- 41:05Speaker 6: this team has terrible safeties. Wilson and Hooker never make
- 41:09Speaker 6: any plays. I've watched Hooker since he's been here. He
- 41:12Speaker 6: never steps in front of any balls. He always waits
- 41:16Speaker 6: till the guy catches it, then tackles them. But this
- 41:18Speaker 6: new safety Thompson and Locke, you watch, they'll be making plays.
- 41:23Speaker 7: Anyways.
- 41:23Speaker 6: I hope they go with secondary and safety, corner and
- 41:28Speaker 6: safety in the draft again, and then you know, later
- 41:32Speaker 6: rounds you can get a guy maybe, but I like Gary.
- 41:36Speaker 1: We'll see what they do.
- 41:37Speaker 6: But a third safety with this defense, I think they're
- 41:40Speaker 6: gonna run with Seattle runs right, three safety is kind
- 41:43Speaker 6: of a bigger safety. So anyways, I'm happy with what
- 41:47Speaker 6: they've done.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and.
- 41:50Speaker 6: Just keep building that secondary, I think, because man, everybody
- 41:54Speaker 6: runs three four receivers most of the time. All Right, anyway, good.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Good stuff, good call. Appreciate that, Derek. You know the thing, MALIEK. Cooker, basically,
- 42:05Speaker 3: I mean he took a pay cut. It's not that
- 42:07Speaker 3: they reworked his deal or anything like that. He took
- 42:10Speaker 3: a pay cut. Same with Terrence Steele. I mean that
- 42:13Speaker 3: that's that's the same with Rashaun Gary, to be honest
- 42:15Speaker 3: with you, and I mean that's what happened. They got
- 42:17Speaker 3: here and they reduced their salary. You know, some of
- 42:21Speaker 3: these guys, that's the option. Option is stay here and
- 42:24Speaker 3: play it, you know, play less. I mean, you know,
- 42:26Speaker 3: play for it for less, or get released, go somewhere else.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Move probably play for less there too, So you know
- 42:33Speaker 3: they that's how that's how it was presented, and that
- 42:35Speaker 3: that's what it is.
- 42:36Speaker 1: So, you know, MALIEK.
- 42:37Speaker 3: Cooker to me, him and and Donovan Wilson, I don't
- 42:40Speaker 3: think they forgot how to play football. I thought when
- 42:43Speaker 3: the pass rush wasn't there like it had been in
- 42:46Speaker 3: previous seasons with Micah, you know, it was it was
- 42:49Speaker 3: tougher for them to go out there and and and
- 42:51Speaker 3: cover for longer and make plays and all that. I
- 42:54Speaker 3: think they were better football players when there was more pressure.
- 42:56Speaker 3: Now you know, Mike is still not here, and Rashaun
- 42:59Speaker 3: Gary is not him and and they're gonna have to
- 43:02Speaker 3: figure figure out how to get to the quarterback. But
- 43:04Speaker 3: if you can do that, I think, I think your
- 43:07Speaker 3: back end can be better. But they've got to figure
- 43:10Speaker 3: that out. There's one thing before I get to the
- 43:11Speaker 3: next call, I tease this before the break. I just
- 43:15Speaker 3: think that you know, you see everybody, everybody's got grades now,
- 43:18Speaker 3: you know, it's like back to school. Everyone has a grade.
- 43:21Speaker 3: They're grading the trades, they're grading the overall free agency.
- 43:25Speaker 3: What I don't see in here though, and I think
- 43:28Speaker 3: it's if you're gonna do it, you've got to be
- 43:30Speaker 3: fair because the money counts the same. The reason why
- 43:32Speaker 3: the Cowboys aren't doing this or this is because of
- 43:35Speaker 3: the money. The reason why the Raiders did all that
- 43:37Speaker 3: because they have the money. So I think if you're
- 43:39Speaker 3: gonna if you're gonna factor in what the Cowboys have done,
- 43:44Speaker 3: and even though it's still a little bit of an
- 43:45Speaker 3: incomplete but you have to mention Pickens and Aubrey, you
- 43:50Speaker 3: have to. You have to say, I mean, the Cowboys
- 43:52Speaker 3: put a franchise tag on Pickts. That's twenty eight million
- 43:55Speaker 3: hitting the cap right now, twenty eight million.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Aubrey's is five.
- 43:58Speaker 3: It'll probably be a little bit more of they get
- 44:00Speaker 3: a deal done, but they get a deal done with
- 44:01Speaker 3: Aubrey and Pickens, you have to throw that in to
- 44:04Speaker 3: what the Cowboys have done because it affects everything else.
- 44:08Speaker 3: The number one free agent and all of the NFL
- 44:11Speaker 3: was George Pickens. The Cowboys made sure he was not
- 44:14Speaker 3: available unless you want to throw two number one, and
- 44:16Speaker 3: then they might listen, might, but he's going to be
- 44:19Speaker 3: here next year and he's going to count at least
- 44:21Speaker 3: twenty eight million per year. Now that they get a
- 44:24Speaker 3: contract that you know, signed, they'll they'll reduce that and
- 44:28Speaker 3: have a little bit more money to spend. But you
- 44:31Speaker 3: know they're getting the number one free agent. They're going
- 44:34Speaker 3: to lock up the best kicker in the NFL. And
- 44:38Speaker 3: then when you throw some of the other things that
- 44:40Speaker 3: trade to Gary and then Thompson and Durant and all
- 44:42Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. But you have to mention that
- 44:45Speaker 3: of what the Cowboys have done in free agency. And
- 44:47Speaker 3: so I think it's easy to just exclude that and say,
- 44:50Speaker 3: well to C plus or a C minus or whatever.
- 44:53Speaker 3: But you know the reason why they couldn't do everything
- 44:56Speaker 3: they wanted to do is because one of them is
- 44:58Speaker 3: they're sitting here with the number one free and the
- 45:01Speaker 3: number one kicker out there that both of them are
- 45:03Speaker 3: going to be, you know, right at the top of
- 45:05Speaker 3: their position. I just think you have to point that out,
- 45:08Speaker 3: all right. Are Irene in false Church? Virginia? Irene?
- 45:12Speaker 8: Hey, good morning? How are you doing good?
- 45:14Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 45:15Speaker 18: I got to figure out how to do my name
- 45:18Speaker 18: because I put Irene in false Church and it's like
- 45:20Speaker 18: Irene in saw one one one one. I'm like, well,
- 45:22Speaker 18: at least the ones look like Ella, I guess.
- 45:26Speaker 12: But anyway, good thing is there's one Irene.
- 45:29Speaker 1: There's there's one.
- 45:30Speaker 3: There's one. We know who that is. It's not John
- 45:34Speaker 3: or Bill or you know, Chad or whatever. There's one Irene.
- 45:38Speaker 3: And so if anyone else's Irene and join you, they
- 45:41Speaker 3: have to change their name because there's one Irene in
- 45:44Speaker 3: the storyline family. There's actually two Knicks I saw in there,
- 45:48Speaker 3: Mine and there's someone else named Nick.
- 45:49Speaker 1: But there's only one Irene there.
- 45:52Speaker 5: You go.
- 45:54Speaker 18: So as an aside, just for what you're talking about
- 45:57Speaker 18: was picking So I saw the duns of trade for
- 45:59Speaker 18: a while, and I kind of wonder why they wouldn't have,
- 46:03Speaker 18: like I would throw two first at George rather than
- 46:06Speaker 18: a first and a third. I know, there's like a
- 46:08Speaker 18: pick swap for the floor to just basically first and
- 46:10Speaker 18: third for Wattle. I don't I don't understand why you
- 46:13Speaker 18: wouldn't throw the two first if you were going to
- 46:15Speaker 18: throw that much for Wattle. But you know, maybe they
- 46:17Speaker 18: have a plan.
- 46:17Speaker 5: I don't know that.
- 46:19Speaker 3: That's a good that's a good point though. And then,
- 46:21Speaker 3: and since you're on the line, I'll ask you, would
- 46:24Speaker 3: you want that if you're Dallas Denver's Denvers first right
- 46:28Speaker 3: now thirtieth? And then with George Pickens on that awesome
- 46:32Speaker 3: defense that Denver has, where.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Do you think next year's first is going to be?
- 46:38Speaker 1: Probably not?
- 46:38Speaker 18: Well, yeah, that's true. So I'm saying that.
- 46:41Speaker 3: Being said, you know one of them's at the end,
- 46:44Speaker 3: the next one's probably going to be out there, you
- 46:47Speaker 3: know at the end too. Would you want that for
- 46:50Speaker 3: for Pickens?
- 46:52Speaker 19: Oh?
- 46:52Speaker 1: I don't think I would either.
- 46:54Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 46:54Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I think I would want
- 46:57Speaker 1: I would want a little bit you know, lower. And
- 46:59Speaker 1: then with the that that maybe you know, they're not
- 47:02Speaker 1: going to be as good next year, but Pickens is
- 47:03Speaker 1: gonna make him better?
- 47:05Speaker 18: Well yeah, no, absolutely.
- 47:07Speaker 3: I mean you can argue he didn't make the Cowboys better.
- 47:09Speaker 3: They won the same amount of games. But I feel
- 47:12Speaker 3: like with that team and that defense, I think Pickings
- 47:15Speaker 3: in Denver, yeah, that would have been that's really scary.
- 47:18Speaker 3: I think Denver just you know, I'm.
- 47:21Speaker 18: Not whether our team would have done without him, though,
- 47:23Speaker 18: I like when CD went out, Yeah, I just it
- 47:27Speaker 18: would have been really bad because our defense is that awful.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Unfortunately, right right, he stepped up.
- 47:32Speaker 3: I think that's where he made a lot of his money,
- 47:34Speaker 3: you know, for for next year. I think it was
- 47:36Speaker 3: like can he be a number one?
- 47:38Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 47:38Speaker 3: And obviously the Detroit game is one where that's just
- 47:42Speaker 3: that's just a different one.
- 47:43Speaker 18: That's just maybe I'm not convinced that he didn't have
- 47:48Speaker 18: I don't want to say it, but I feel like
- 47:49Speaker 18: he had an injury that maybe wasn't noticed.
- 47:53Speaker 1: I don't want to go down that road. I'm going
- 47:55Speaker 1: to say no.
- 47:56Speaker 3: I'm going to say no to that just because I
- 47:57Speaker 3: don't I'm not implying anything up, but he just wasn't
- 48:02Speaker 3: himself for that game, you know, they kind of just
- 48:03Speaker 3: took him out, and you know, but but you know,
- 48:08Speaker 3: let's say this though, I mean, it's not like Ryan
- 48:10Speaker 3: Fillinoy didn't go off on the other side, so they
- 48:14Speaker 3: they did take, you know, try to take him.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Out of the game. When when that happened.
- 48:19Speaker 3: If CD was stayed healthy, that that game would have
- 48:21Speaker 3: been very interesting because nobody could stop it anyone and
- 48:26Speaker 3: and Detroit kept scoring and the.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Cowboys kind of stopped.
- 48:29Speaker 3: But with CD in there and him and him and
- 48:32Speaker 3: Pickings uh and Flinoy and all that, that that that
- 48:35Speaker 3: would have been a really interesting game. But injuries happened,
- 48:38Speaker 3: and that's you know, he just he wasn't himself. But
- 48:41Speaker 3: for the most part of the season though, even when
- 48:43Speaker 3: he had moments to step up and be the number one,
- 48:45Speaker 3: he showed that that Packers game, you know, he kind
- 48:47Speaker 3: of carried him there.
- 48:48Speaker 9: So yeah, yep, So what I.
- 48:51Speaker 18: Was actually gonna call that, I'm gonna be a homer,
- 48:54Speaker 18: but a different kind of homer for my Virginia Cavaliers.
- 48:56Speaker 18: Can you I don't know if you know this or not,
- 48:59Speaker 18: but I I think it's possible that yesterday Dallas was
- 49:03Speaker 18: supposed to go to UVa's pro day and couldn't get
- 49:05Speaker 18: there because we had like tornadoes and like that, crazy wins.
- 49:10Speaker 18: I think maybe they're flight I don't know, so I
- 49:12Speaker 18: don't know if you know if that's true or not.
- 49:13Speaker 18: But it found it from the UVA reporting that there
- 49:16Speaker 18: were some teams that couldn't make it because of flight cancelations.
- 49:19Speaker 18: So whether or not that's true, they weren't in attendance.
- 49:24Speaker 18: But there's two guys that I would I would have
- 49:27Speaker 18: them consider. I know somebody brought up running back earlier.
- 49:30Speaker 18: There's a guy named Jamari Taylor. He's projected as a
- 49:33Speaker 18: fifth through a seventh. I probably, even though I am
- 49:36Speaker 18: a homer, would wait till later since we have Javonte,
- 49:39Speaker 18: but I think that would be a cool pickup in
- 49:41Speaker 18: maybe the sixth or the seventh if we could get him.
- 49:44Speaker 18: And then there's a guy named Mitchell Melton. He's projected
- 49:47Speaker 18: as a second to third. So now that we have
- 49:50Speaker 18: a third, and if we don't go do something else
- 49:52Speaker 18: with defensive and I think we'll get one earlier to
- 49:55Speaker 18: be honest, but if for some reason it doesn't work
- 49:57Speaker 18: out and we get a linebacker in a cornerback, that
- 50:00Speaker 18: could be a pick at ninety two that that might
- 50:02Speaker 18: work out.
- 50:02Speaker 1: He's a defensive end. He is okay, Yeah, he.
- 50:06Speaker 8: Looks pretty good.
- 50:07Speaker 18: I mean, he's obviously not projected as a first rounder,
- 50:10Speaker 18: but I know the Raiders are having him for a
- 50:12Speaker 18: thirty visit, so he's not insignificant and he might raise
- 50:16Speaker 18: up to the second round by the time it's it's
- 50:18Speaker 18: over and not work. But you know, just something I
- 50:21Speaker 18: think about anyway, all right, I'll tell you later.
- 50:24Speaker 3: Good luck your Cavaliers in the in the NCAA tournament.
- 50:27Speaker 3: I know she her brackets are in there. They're a
- 50:31Speaker 3: good team. She mentioned a fifth or sixth round, seventh
- 50:36Speaker 3: round running back. You know, I think if you if
- 50:40Speaker 3: there's somebody you like, third round and the third round
- 50:43Speaker 3: or fourth round, if somebody there that you like that
- 50:45Speaker 3: the rated really high, I could see them drafting that.
- 50:48Speaker 3: But yet later than that, you know, you're kind of
- 50:52Speaker 3: going into what you had last year and you want
- 50:54Speaker 3: to see, you know, if you if you like what
- 50:56Speaker 3: you what you've got from from Jayden Blue, you think
- 50:59Speaker 3: you know and and shot he talked about him this
- 51:01Speaker 3: offseason and by his guy that that needs to mature
- 51:03Speaker 3: and feels like he's taking those steps to to to
- 51:06Speaker 3: becoming a pro and and all those things you know
- 51:11Speaker 3: him and film off of both. I mean, you know,
- 51:13Speaker 3: you want to see what they could do a full
- 51:15Speaker 3: off season here in the program, not just the strength program,
- 51:18Speaker 3: but also just just learning the system even more and
- 51:21Speaker 3: being here, being comfortable knowing what it takes to become
- 51:24Speaker 3: a professional football player, you know, and then throw injuries
- 51:27Speaker 3: aside and just let them kind of go in there
- 51:29Speaker 3: and get into their own I think that they want
- 51:31Speaker 3: to see. I think the two of them will will
- 51:33Speaker 3: push each other. With Javonte there as well. I think
- 51:36Speaker 3: one of them is going to step up and really
- 51:38Speaker 3: rise to the challenge that they want it to be.
- 51:39Speaker 3: Blue that would be that would be a very good
- 51:42Speaker 3: compliment to to Javante. But so I I could see
- 51:47Speaker 3: them drafting a running back maybe earlier, that would that
- 51:51Speaker 3: it's too good to pass up, and we think he'll
- 51:53Speaker 3: be really good, maybe a potential starter. If you get
- 51:56Speaker 3: later in the draft, I think you're kind of dealing
- 51:58Speaker 3: with what you already have. So we'll see, We'll see
- 52:01Speaker 3: how it goes there. Let's go Chris and San Angelo.
- 52:05Speaker 13: Mister Nick, how you doing today, Bud Good?
- 52:07Speaker 1: How are you.
- 52:08Speaker 13: I'm doing well, thank you. Just a real quick note
- 52:11Speaker 13: on the brackets. I filled mine out a couple of
- 52:14Speaker 13: days ago, and I was given each pick a lot
- 52:18Speaker 13: of thought, and then I just stopped and asked myself, Chris,
- 52:22Speaker 13: you haven't even watched the game since you tore up
- 52:26Speaker 13: your brackets about in the lafter the second round last year,
- 52:30Speaker 13: So what are you thinking about?
- 52:32Speaker 1: So?
- 52:33Speaker 13: I was like, coin flip all the way. So anyway,
- 52:36Speaker 13: that's where I stand on that. That's my knowledge.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Nice.
- 52:41Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah, well got it. These games they come down
- 52:45Speaker 3: to it. I mean it is you could basically flip
- 52:47Speaker 3: a coin a lot of times. I mean, if last
- 52:49Speaker 3: night was any indication of how the games are.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Going to be, you know, they're they're gonna They're gonna
- 52:53Speaker 1: come down to the end.
- 52:54Speaker 13: So oh yeah, not can invest too much in that.
- 52:59Speaker 18: Yeah, but anyway.
- 53:01Speaker 13: Hey, where else gonna go with this is see the
- 53:03Speaker 13: kewboy's got that offensive Lineman, that Hennessy guy, like the
- 53:08Speaker 13: liquor guy or whatever. Now I noticed that Hoffman hasn't
- 53:14Speaker 13: signed with anyone to my knowledge. I know there are
- 53:17Speaker 13: some rumors, but what I was wondering is do you
- 53:21Speaker 13: look at do they look at him as like a
- 53:23Speaker 13: replacement for Hoffman, because I always thought Hoffman did better
- 53:28Speaker 13: than average at least I think for what he was
- 53:30Speaker 13: asked to do. So are they just out on him
- 53:35Speaker 13: or they just wanted new blood, or like you said before,
- 53:39Speaker 13: is it is it a money thing?
- 53:41Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 53:42Speaker 13: I was checking in to see what you thought about that.
- 53:44Speaker 1: All right.
- 53:45Speaker 3: I appreciate that that's a good question because that position
- 53:50Speaker 3: or positions guard center is not exactly locked up just yet.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Matt Hennessy, who's played he's very similar to like the
- 54:00Speaker 3: bass really and and Hoffman played it, you know for
- 54:04Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, was a backup when he had
- 54:07Speaker 3: to play and start some games. He did really well.
- 54:09Speaker 3: Like like you go and google him. You know, there's
- 54:13Speaker 3: there's a lot of like, you know, articles that are
- 54:16Speaker 3: like in this he stepped up for so and so
- 54:18Speaker 3: and played really well, you know, and did a good job.
- 54:21Speaker 3: It was kind of like surprisingly kind of like what
- 54:23Speaker 3: we've what we've said and written about bass and Hoffman
- 54:26Speaker 3: and those guys. The bass thing is still interesting.
- 54:31Speaker 1: There's nothing.
- 54:32Speaker 3: He signed his tender yesterday, so a second round tender,
- 54:36Speaker 3: so they they they was smart for him to do that.
- 54:39Speaker 3: Because you know you could always pull that back. It's
- 54:43Speaker 3: a second round tender. But everything is negotiable, so don't
- 54:49Speaker 3: be surprised if if things not things are not done
- 54:53Speaker 3: yet with with with Bass, uh, there's a chance he
- 54:56Speaker 3: could be traded and it won't be for a second
- 54:59Speaker 3: round pick. That that's you put that that money tag
- 55:02Speaker 3: on to kind of you know, not really scare teams away,
- 55:06Speaker 3: but just to protect yourself because you want to get
- 55:10Speaker 3: something for him, because if you don't, if you don't
- 55:12Speaker 3: put the second round tender, then the next one he
- 55:15Speaker 3: it would be an undrafted He's undrafted, so you don't
- 55:18Speaker 3: getting anything. So that's kind of why you do it.
- 55:21Speaker 3: But teams, if they want to trade for him, they're
- 55:23Speaker 3: going to negotiate. So don't be surprised if there's some
- 55:26Speaker 3: movement there with Bass and maybe maybe he's not there.
- 55:29Speaker 1: And if that's the case.
- 55:30Speaker 3: The reason why I say all that is now last
- 55:33Speaker 3: year they had Bass and Hoffman and now they have
- 55:36Speaker 3: Hennessy and if they think they have Bass, but if
- 55:39Speaker 3: they trade him, then they maybe we've signed Hoffman. So
- 55:43Speaker 3: any of that makes sense. It's gonna break here on
- 55:45Speaker 3: Cowboys story and I'll be right back after this.

- 57:30Speaker 3: close the show. But if you want to get in
- 57:32Speaker 3: here for the next few minutes, this is your time.
- 57:34Speaker 3: I've heard it all. I've heard it several times already,
- 57:37Speaker 3: like it's hard to get in, hard to get in,
- 57:39Speaker 3: not right now, get in, it's open. I want to
- 57:42Speaker 3: say this about Chris in the break just kind of
- 57:45Speaker 3: threw this numbers out there about Jalen Wattle. And you
- 57:48Speaker 3: know there's a reminder out there that you guys see
- 57:52Speaker 3: certain players and you say, whoa he got They got
- 57:55Speaker 3: a first for them or a third for them or whatever.
- 57:57Speaker 3: You know, there's people that there are constant as a
- 58:00Speaker 3: cow has got a third for osa, Well, they're sixteen
- 58:03Speaker 3: million in dead cap too. Same with with like the
- 58:08Speaker 3: Dolphins and the Broncos. Waddles contract is is he's going
- 58:12Speaker 3: to count four point nine million this year, next year
- 58:15Speaker 3: jumps up to twenty seven and the next year thirty million.
- 58:19Speaker 3: So I'll be surprised if he's still with the Broncos.
- 58:22Speaker 3: Are definitely not with that contract. But to get a
- 58:25Speaker 3: first and a third, you know that Miami has to
- 58:28Speaker 3: has to take on all that that dead money and
- 58:31Speaker 3: they want something for it, like we're gonna eat this contract,
- 58:34Speaker 3: you got to you gotta pay for it a little bit.
- 58:36Speaker 3: So that's that's why the market is different with certain players.
- 58:42Speaker 3: They got a first for him, but a third for him.
- 58:44Speaker 3: It's it all comes down to the contract and how
- 58:47Speaker 3: much money that you're actually having to absorb when you
- 58:52Speaker 3: get rid of them. So that's what that's what the
- 58:54Speaker 3: draft picked is for. It's not necessarily just for the player.
- 58:58Speaker 3: It's for the money that you're that you're taking on there.
- 59:01Speaker 3: So all right, we have another caller here. Before I
- 59:05Speaker 3: get to that, I do want to say just kind
- 59:08Speaker 3: of remind people about the March Madness pool that we've
- 59:12Speaker 3: started NCAA dot com. You go to March Madness Live,
- 59:16Speaker 3: you can search for the group The group is called
- 59:19Speaker 3: Storyliners and Elite doc Capitol Lee Capital D. That is
- 59:23Speaker 3: the password. If you need to find at password, you
- 59:25Speaker 3: can also go to Twitter, go onto the Storyliner's page
- 59:29Speaker 3: that they have there, and then there's a lot of
- 59:30Speaker 3: information there. Already have twenty people or so, probably be
- 59:33Speaker 3: a little bit more. It should be a lot of fun.
- 59:36Speaker 3: Maybe we'll figure out an interesting prize for the winner.
- 59:40Speaker 3: I've got something in mind there. All right, let's go
- 59:43Speaker 3: to Nick in Austin.
- 59:46Speaker 19: Hey, Bud, how are you doing good?
- 59:48Speaker 6: How are you good?
- 59:50Speaker 19: You're trying to think of the other nick those on
- 59:52Speaker 19: the show. I think it was me you are you in?
- 59:55Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 59:56Speaker 19: Yeah, it's uh not on the bracket, But I thought
- 59:59Speaker 19: you were talking about another Nick on the on the show.
- 1:00:02Speaker 19: I'm not sure, but.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: I just looked at the brackets and there was another
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: Nick on the on the brackets, So.
- 1:00:08Speaker 19: Oh, okay, I might have been confused. That's my fault.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 1:00:13Speaker 19: So I had a question. So we have twelve and twenty.
- 1:00:19Speaker 19: If we're at twelve, then obviously we hope that a
- 1:00:23Speaker 19: lot of offensive guys go in the top so that
- 1:00:27Speaker 19: we can get the.
- 1:00:28Speaker 10: You know, one of the best defenders there.
- 1:00:31Speaker 19: But we happen to have a lot of bad luck
- 1:00:33Speaker 19: being around that ten or twelve and a lot of
- 1:00:35Speaker 19: players that we you know, want to go right before.
- 1:00:39Speaker 19: So my question is if all the top defenders are gone,
- 1:00:45Speaker 19: and I know you're not the draft grew, but you
- 1:00:48Speaker 19: know something, So would you trade out of twelve and
- 1:00:52Speaker 19: go a few steps back to pick up You'd probably
- 1:00:56Speaker 19: pick up a third because you wouldn't want to go
- 1:00:57Speaker 19: too far back, so that way you could pick up
- 1:01:01Speaker 19: somebody like Dylan Sannimn or something like that.
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: Or would you.
- 1:01:06Speaker 19: Just stay there and take maybe if there's a say,
- 1:01:13Speaker 19: like a tackle like the guy from Miami, would you
- 1:01:17Speaker 19: do that? Or if somehow and I don't think it's
- 1:01:21Speaker 19: going to happen, maybe the running back from Notre Dame
- 1:01:23Speaker 19: is there. I think he's going to go number four
- 1:01:25Speaker 19: to the Titans. But if he doesn't and he happens
- 1:01:28Speaker 19: as the Bear, would you rather do that?
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:01:30Speaker 19: So I'll hang on and see your question.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: That's a good question. And that's that's one where the
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Cowboys are gonna you know that they're probably going to
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: be faced with, is what what happens there? When when
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: the defensive player that they really like, or two or
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: three of them that they really.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: Like aren't aren't, you know, on the board.
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: And you know, I have this feeling that we're going
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: to hear about, like if that happens, the Jerry and
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Stephen will Well will come to the podium and tell
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: us about the twenty fourteen draft where they had four
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: defensive guys that they wanted. One of them was Aaron
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: Donald that you know, Anthony Barr, I believe Ryan Chase
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: ear There's another one in there too, But there was
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: there was about four guys that they liked and they
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: all just went off the board and and so they
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: were like, well, you know, do we take Jerry one
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: of the Johnny Manzel and they had talked him out
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: of that, but but they they was like, well, let's
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: just go with the solid pick here of Zach Martin.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: You know who's gonna be in the Hall of Fame
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: one day. And so I have a feeling if that happens,
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: and you know, yeah, you're going to try to trade
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: down if that works. But I would not be afraid
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: to take a left tackle.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: I mean, I understand what issues they have on defense
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: and they've they've tried to address them as much as
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: they as they can here. But if it's if it's
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: a left tackle and he's going to be better than
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: Tyler Geydon today, then I would do it. And I
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: would move Tyler guide into right tackle or you know,
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: backup swing tackle whatever it is, you know, and and
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: light of fire under him.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: But that's what I thought I would do.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: I would take the best player and fits the left
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: tackle would now running back, probably not, but you know,
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: you'll probably get a trade partner at that at that point,
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: so I'd entertain the trade. But I would definitely not
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: turn my back on the left tackle that's sitting there
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: ready to go.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: I would not do that. All right, Let's go to
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: Cowboy Nico.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: He's in Colorado, Springs up.
- 1:03:29Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, guys. How y'all doing today?
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: Good?
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: You?
- 1:03:33Speaker 12: Oh?
- 1:03:33Speaker 9: Not too bad?
- 1:03:34Speaker 19: Not too bad?
- 1:03:35Speaker 9: You know, since I'm Irish, excuse the nickname Nico, but
- 1:03:39Speaker 9: since I'm Irish, and I didn't get to wish all
- 1:03:41Speaker 9: my fellow storyliners onto other Irish brothers, my sisters, Happy
- 1:03:45Speaker 9: Saint Patrick stay yesterday. Hope everybody had a good same time. Now,
- 1:03:48Speaker 9: think I have a dumb question. I'm gonna take your
- 1:03:51Speaker 9: answer off air. I say it's dumb because I am
- 1:03:55Speaker 9: nowhere near as smart as all of our callers. We
- 1:03:59Speaker 9: have such great callers, and two people in particular, just
- 1:04:04Speaker 9: my brain just goes, how the hell do you'll think
- 1:04:07Speaker 9: of that? That's Irene and Sergeant Sue. But my question
- 1:04:10Speaker 9: is why can't the NFL figure out something to do
- 1:04:14Speaker 9: with retired players being hit on the cap? And I
- 1:04:18Speaker 9: hate to say this, we all know Marshaw's death was sad,
- 1:04:21Speaker 9: but he's also counting against our cap. Why why can't
- 1:04:26Speaker 9: they do something where Jerry could just pay them all
- 1:04:30Speaker 9: off of the cap. Maybe I'm not understanding, but that's
- 1:04:34Speaker 9: how I got mostly you can answer, or maybe that
- 1:04:37Speaker 9: question is dumb, maybe it didn't make sense, but either way,
- 1:04:39Speaker 9: hopefully I get some sort of answer. But as always,
- 1:04:42Speaker 9: ask for help. Starge and Super President. Let's get rowdy,
- 1:04:46Speaker 9: come on, let's go cowboys?
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: All right?
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: All right, that's that's an interesting question. Two different scenarios there,
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: for sure, and the tragic loss of Marshawn.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: That is one where.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: You know I'm with you on maybe there there could
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: be a change there and that they could figure out
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: something that that you know, he doesn't hit the cap
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: and they can there's a way to kind of maybe
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: I don't know if I race that, but obviously that's
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: not something that was planned. And and I mean it's
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: just a sad, sad deal. The retirement one's a little different.
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: That's where I think that if you had that in
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: place where if a guy retires and then all of
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: a sudden his money goes away, I think you could
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: get you could see some teams that could kind of
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: finagle that a little bit. And and and let's sign
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: this guy at the end of his career and give
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: him a lot of money or or backloaded or whatever,
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: and then when he retires it goes away. There's ways
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: where you could kind of try to, you know, finagle
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: that a little bit. And and so I I that
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: one is is different. I kind of understand why that happens.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: And you know, and there's there's still there's money that
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: was paid, and that that money that was paid, it's
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: got to be accounted for. So two different scenarios. Good,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: good question, And when I know I don't have the
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: best answers for but it really just comes down to
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: that you know that that that money was paid, and
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: it's gotta it's got to go somewhere.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: It's got to go on that cap.
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: And then when all of a sudden they're not on
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: the team anymore, it just immediately hits your hits the
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: your your cap. All right, I think we're done with callers.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: I think we're gonna just wear at raptors show up
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: unless Chris is our caller on the line. No, nope,
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: Well then let's end it with cowboy Nico always has
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: good stuff. All right, guys, appreciate it. We'll be back
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: next Wednesday. We'll be talking everything. We're talking free agency,
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: We're talking this draft, maybe talking a little March badness
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: to see who's in the lead. We're gonna be getting
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: closer and closer to talk about all storyline team as well.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: All right, for Chris Beam, I'm NICKI even see you
