- 2:00Speaker 4: So I'll just go ahead and.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Get to the point.
- 2:02Speaker 4: Look, first of all, I just want to say just
- 2:05Speaker 4: to the rest of my storyline family, I apologize if
- 2:08Speaker 4: I've ever came out with any kind of negative energy
- 2:10Speaker 4: or anything, you know, but I just wanna I'm gonna
- 2:13Speaker 4: go ahead and use Jerry's words, I'm going all in.
- 2:15Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a couple of bot predictions for the season.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I think that Dak Prescott is gonna go ahead and
- 2:21Speaker 4: take MVP of the league. And I think Marquis Bell
- 2:27Speaker 4: or safety, I think this is gonna be his first
- 2:29Speaker 4: All Pro year at the position. I think he's pined
- 2:33Speaker 4: and ready for a big season. And then I'm gonna
- 2:36Speaker 4: go ahead and say that that I got my Dallas
- 2:38Speaker 4: Cowboys going all the way to the NFC Championship game.
- 2:41Speaker 4: And I'll go ahead and leave it at that, And
- 2:44Speaker 4: God bless everybody, and thank you for having me on.
- 2:47Speaker 4: I'll go ahead and listen offline, and you guys have
- 2:49Speaker 4: a great day.
- 2:50Speaker 3: All right, Thank you, Michael, appreciate that. I don't have
- 2:52Speaker 3: to apologize for anything anybody. Hey, we all we all
- 2:57Speaker 3: have a little passion now and again. And and uh,
- 3:01Speaker 3: I think it was back in training camp Michael called
- 3:03Speaker 3: and kind of, you know, he stirred it up a
- 3:05Speaker 3: little bit and said, hey, you know, regular season doesn't
- 3:07Speaker 3: matter and only care about the playoffs. And that's fine.
- 3:10Speaker 3: We understand that those are the expectations. I everybody gets that.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Everybody gets the expectations. But you've got to get there.
- 3:17Speaker 3: You've got to You've got to bring it in Cleveland
- 3:19Speaker 3: this week. You gotta beat the Saints. The next week.
- 3:21Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta stack those wins together to have
- 3:24Speaker 3: that team to go to the playoffs, to go to
- 3:26Speaker 3: the NFC Championship Game. And I'll say this, Michael, if
- 3:28Speaker 3: you're gonna take us there, might as well just to
- 3:31Speaker 3: go all the way. I mean, seriously, if you're gonna
- 3:33Speaker 3: just go to the NFC Championship Game. And my thought is,
- 3:35Speaker 3: I mean, why why settle for that? I know that
- 3:37Speaker 3: they haven't been there in thirty years, but that year
- 3:41Speaker 3: that they went to the championship game, they went to
- 3:43Speaker 3: the Super Bowl as well, So uh, I say carry
- 3:46Speaker 3: it on through. But yeah, Michael appreciate the call for sure,
- 3:51Speaker 3: and he's got big expectations for this team. A lot
- 3:54Speaker 3: of a lot of fans do. And this is the
- 3:55Speaker 3: time of year for it. I mean, it's thirty two
- 3:57Speaker 3: teams feel the same way about their their team. Well
- 3:59Speaker 3: maybe the same way, but but there there should be
- 4:03Speaker 3: some level of excitement. And I think for the Cowboys,
- 4:06Speaker 3: you know, even though there's been a little injuries here
- 4:09Speaker 3: and that's some free agent see losses in the offseason,
- 4:12Speaker 3: but I still think when you look at this team,
- 4:15Speaker 3: look at the roster, there's a lot to be excited about.
- 4:18Speaker 3: So all right, let's go to Ian in Amarillo, texas Ian.
- 4:22Speaker 5: What's up, hey man?
- 4:24Speaker 6: This is the first time caller.
- 4:26Speaker 3: You know what that means.
- 4:27Speaker 2: We go, we go?
- 4:30Speaker 5: Hey man.
- 4:31Speaker 6: So the last time I talked to you was actually
- 4:33Speaker 6: ten years ago on the break. I was a senior
- 4:36Speaker 6: in high school.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Wow.
- 4:37Speaker 6: And I'm almost thirty now. So that's a shows how
- 4:43Speaker 6: time flies, man. And unfortunately we haven't gotten any further yet.
- 4:47Speaker 6: But it's a new season. Like you said, high hopes
- 4:50Speaker 6: this year. I just had a quick question for you,
- 4:52Speaker 6: kind of a thought provoking question. Would you rather take
- 4:56Speaker 6: Dak Prescott with his experience now going in into this year,
- 5:00Speaker 6: with the whole contract negotiations and how much he's set
- 5:04Speaker 6: to make, or would you rather take Dak Prescott as
- 5:07Speaker 6: a rookie? You know, he's still fresh in the league,
- 5:10Speaker 6: but with his with his cap hit as a rookie
- 5:13Speaker 6: those first four years, you know, we had a lot
- 5:16Speaker 6: of wiggle room, and so I was just wondering, you know,
- 5:19Speaker 6: would you rather take rookie Dak going into this year
- 5:21Speaker 6: or Dak right now? Appreciate your time, man, big fan always,
- 5:27Speaker 6: and I'll hang up and.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Listen, all right, Thank you ian, that's a that's a
- 5:32Speaker 3: good question. That's a tough question because there's you know,
- 5:37Speaker 3: there's a lot more to it that It's not just
- 5:39Speaker 3: black and white like this or that, because because you know,
- 5:42Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, all right, well if you if you're
- 5:44Speaker 3: getting rookie Dak. What made rookie Dak so good is
- 5:48Speaker 3: that he had rookie Zeke and young younger Zeke able
- 5:54Speaker 3: to carry the load a lot. And that team was
- 5:57Speaker 3: it was a different type of team, uh, you know,
- 6:00Speaker 3: with with Jason Whitten there and and and Des Bryant
- 6:04Speaker 3: early on and and all that. So you know, that's
- 6:07Speaker 3: the that's that is such a tough question because you know,
- 6:12Speaker 3: sure you would like I guess, I guess the the
- 6:15Speaker 3: the answer to that is is what's changed the most?
- 6:19Speaker 3: Has he changed more as a player just get you know,
- 6:23Speaker 3: just smarter and better and more accurate and all that.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Has he changed more there than he was as a
- 6:28Speaker 3: rookie or has his contract changed more than it was
- 6:32Speaker 3: as a rookie in his first few years? And I
- 6:35Speaker 3: would say the contract has probably changed. He was pretty
- 6:38Speaker 3: good early, he's really good now. His contract is enormous
- 6:44Speaker 3: now and it wasn't It wasn't so big as a
- 6:46Speaker 3: you know, fourth round pick. So I guess to answer
- 6:49Speaker 3: it there if you if you want an answer, I
- 6:51Speaker 3: would say, yeah, I would take the the rookie Dack
- 6:54Speaker 3: and his rookie contract. But but there's a lot that
- 6:57Speaker 3: goes with that, and and that's not reality. Reality is
- 7:00Speaker 3: this is what you have? And is he good enough?
- 7:02Speaker 3: That's really the question. Is he good enough to take
- 7:04Speaker 3: you where they want to go? And I still think
- 7:06Speaker 3: the answer is yes to that. All right, Randy and
- 7:09Speaker 3: Texas can I Randy? What's up?
- 7:11Speaker 7: What's happening? I have no questions. I just want to
- 7:14Speaker 7: get this week started with. I need to set the mood.
- 7:18Speaker 7: I want everybody if you know, you know if you
- 7:20Speaker 7: don't google it, and you will know ninety nine Woodstock
- 7:24Speaker 7: when Corn comes on the stage and he says, are
- 7:27Speaker 7: you ready? And that whole place is a million people
- 7:32Speaker 7: just up and down, up and down, up and down
- 7:34Speaker 7: while the music you going. That's how we need to
- 7:37Speaker 7: feel this morning about it is football season. I'm ready
- 7:41Speaker 7: to go.
- 7:43Speaker 3: All right, do this no question for your.
- 7:46Speaker 7: No question, brother, I got young man, you got all
- 7:48Speaker 7: the other folks for that. Just I want everybody else
- 7:51Speaker 7: that's calling in today to be hot. It is football season.
- 7:55Speaker 7: All the crowing about last year that was last year,
- 7:58Speaker 7: New year, new time. Are you ready? That's where it's
- 8:02Speaker 7: that love. You guys, have a good day. Holler at
- 8:05Speaker 7: my Alma story.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Laron Fellers, alright, all right, guys, all right, appreciate it. Randy.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Uh you guys, you guys are setting the tone and
- 8:14Speaker 3: this is exactly what we want, you know, uh, in
- 8:17Speaker 3: and out, in and out. You know, I'm not talking
- 8:18Speaker 3: about the Burgers. Of course is Waterburger show, but but
- 8:21Speaker 3: in and out, you guys are doing a great job.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Let's keep it rolling here, Josh and Chicago's next. Josh,
- 8:26Speaker 3: what's up?
- 8:26Speaker 5: Hey, Nick?
- 8:27Speaker 8: Good talk to you. You thinking in last week? I'll
- 8:29Speaker 8: be quick. I just gotta say. I think we're gonna
- 8:31Speaker 8: have the number one offense again, like the part this
- 8:32Speaker 8: great coach our defense. I think our linebackers are going
- 8:36Speaker 8: to be the you know, surprise to us all and
- 8:39Speaker 8: just play out of there inid of their minds. And
- 8:40Speaker 8: I think we're going twelve to five four out.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Let's go all right, all.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Right, appreciate it. Josh. There's been Nascar like you know,
- 8:48Speaker 3: like in the pits. Like you know, pit stops have
- 8:50Speaker 3: been less than that. This is great good stuff linebackers.
- 8:55Speaker 3: I think that is the spot on defense that you
- 8:58Speaker 3: look at and you can just feel better about the
- 9:01Speaker 3: entire team. Well, you can make that argument with defensive
- 9:04Speaker 3: tackle if you want. Of course, those are some veteran
- 9:06Speaker 3: players that we'll see if they still got something left.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But the linebacker corp is one that that has been
- 9:13Speaker 3: changed the most in my opinion. It starts with Eric Kendricks.
- 9:16Speaker 3: He comes in, he's a veteran player, but he knows
- 9:18Speaker 3: this system. With Mike Zimmer, he's been in it really
- 9:22Speaker 3: his entire career. There's a lot of excitement about Demarve
- 9:25Speaker 3: and Overshown and naturally so coming back from the injury,
- 9:29Speaker 3: he's just so long in the way he can he
- 9:31Speaker 3: can just you know, get to the ball quickly. That's
- 9:34Speaker 3: kind of what we saw at training camp. Maris leaf
- 9:37Speaker 3: ol same thing. I mean, you're basically getting two rookies
- 9:41Speaker 3: and overshown in lea foul. They just want to run
- 9:45Speaker 3: to the ball and hit, which is kind of what
- 9:48Speaker 3: a linebacker is supposed to do. So those guys. Then
- 9:52Speaker 3: you add in de Moon Clark and uh, you know,
- 9:54Speaker 3: just just the the entire group of linebackers. I don't
- 9:57Speaker 3: know where Marquise Bell is gonna fit in. I guess
- 9:59Speaker 3: one of the previous callers said he thought he was
- 10:01Speaker 3: going to have an all Pro season. That's that's all.
- 10:03Speaker 3: That's big time there for for Marquise Bell. But I
- 10:07Speaker 3: think Zimmer will figure out exactly what he wants to
- 10:10Speaker 3: do with him. But but yeah, it's it's an exciting
- 10:13Speaker 3: time for the defense. And I think those linebackers have
- 10:16Speaker 3: have changed the most. And uh, you know, don't forget
- 10:19Speaker 3: Buddy Johnson. He made the team and uh he might
- 10:21Speaker 3: be helping on special teams and and he did a
- 10:23Speaker 3: nice job in the preseason when he had his opportunity.
- 10:26Speaker 3: So a lot to be excited about there for those guys.
- 10:29Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Josh in Los Angeles. Josh,
- 10:33Speaker 3: what's up?
- 10:34Speaker 9: Not much? First time caller?
- 10:36Speaker 10: Yeah, here we go.
- 10:38Speaker 3: All right, all right, all right, you know the Durrill.
- 10:41Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 10:43Speaker 11: Yeah, two things for you.
- 10:46Speaker 9: First off, I'm gonna make a bold prediction Cooper bebe
- 10:49Speaker 9: at center?
- 10:51Speaker 3: What Oh okay, that's that's bold right.
- 10:59Speaker 12: Off the jump.
- 11:00Speaker 11: As a rookie, I haven't been this excited about the
- 11:04Speaker 11: youth on this team in a long time.
- 11:06Speaker 9: What I've seen from him, I'm extremely impressed. And I
- 11:09Speaker 9: think the combination of him and Martin and Tyler Smith
- 11:13Speaker 9: next to him, I'm gonna get a lot of push
- 11:15Speaker 9: in the middle of that offensive line and could make
- 11:18Speaker 9: up for maybe some deficiency in the pop and burst
- 11:21Speaker 9: that the running back position has as well. And my
- 11:26Speaker 9: second thing, and I'll just take this off the air,
- 11:29Speaker 9: just heads up to you guys. Not going to try
- 11:31Speaker 9: to sound like an a hole.
- 11:33Speaker 11: Or anything, but I was watching the Cowboys break and
- 11:36Speaker 11: commercial is spelled wrong on the commercial break screen.
- 11:40Speaker 9: It's only spelled with one M and commercials with two ms.
- 11:44Speaker 9: But I'm excited two ms. Yeah, it's spelled com E
- 11:49Speaker 9: r C.
- 11:50Speaker 13: All Right, I A all.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Right, we'll get that. We'll get that squared away. Thanks
- 11:55Speaker 3: for bringing that to the air. Appreciate that we'll get
- 11:58Speaker 3: that squared away for sure. Uh, thank you, Josh all right,
- 12:03Speaker 3: Cooper BB all pro or actually pro bowl that that
- 12:08Speaker 3: would be bold. The thing about that and and with
- 12:11Speaker 3: all these positions is you know you gotta you've gotta
- 12:14Speaker 3: knock out somebody, you know, whoever whoever that is. It's
- 12:17Speaker 3: it's it's hard to do that now. Uh, the Eagles,
- 12:21Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey, I guess not not here anymore. So that's
- 12:24Speaker 3: that's one spot. And you know, and we'll see if
- 12:28Speaker 3: has made the Pro Bowl before as well. And there's
- 12:30Speaker 3: there's some good players in the NFC. So you know,
- 12:33Speaker 3: he's over in Washington now. But you know, if remember
- 12:36Speaker 3: the term, yuh, he likes the dirt. People put him in,
- 12:39Speaker 3: put him in the ground. Do that a lot? Be
- 12:43Speaker 3: be somebody that that that. You know, those those clips
- 12:45Speaker 3: are showing going viral and things like that. The team's
- 12:48Speaker 3: got to be winning games, of course, but play with
- 12:51Speaker 3: that nasty streak that he that he showed us in college.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Do that and I think that, yeah, you've got a
- 12:56Speaker 3: good chance. But the team has to play well. He
- 12:58Speaker 3: has to play well, of course, has to play well
- 13:01Speaker 3: and all that goes into the equation. Then yeah, I'm
- 13:04Speaker 3: sure it's certainly possible for him. All right, let's go
- 13:07Speaker 3: to Kurt in Arkansas. Kurt, what's up?
- 13:12Speaker 2: Hey, bro? What's up?
- 13:13Speaker 3: How you doing.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm good. I'm actually excited this year all right,
- 13:18Speaker 2: especially after they signed Davin Cook because I predicted he's
- 13:23Speaker 2: going to be Davin Cook of a couple of years ago.
- 13:26Speaker 3: You think so.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Yeah, at least eleven hundred yards?
- 13:31Speaker 3: All right, wow, and.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Eighteen wins total.
- 13:38Speaker 3: You got eighteen wins.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Eighteen wins total, fourteen and three in the regular season.
- 13:45Speaker 3: All right, that's that's pretty bold, right there.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Yeah, you bet you?
- 13:51Speaker 3: All right? Well, that's you guys are bringing the fire today.
- 13:54Speaker 3: A lot of good. Any other question for.
- 13:56Speaker 2: You, Kirk, Nope, all right, I think we're going on.
- 14:00Speaker 2: All right.
- 14:01Speaker 3: I love it, all right, Kurt, haven't heard from you
- 14:04Speaker 3: in a while. Thanks for the call, he was. You're good,
- 14:09Speaker 3: You're all good. You're a member of last year's all
- 14:11Speaker 3: storyline team the callers. Yeah, called the most and participated
- 14:15Speaker 3: the most. Appreciate that. And must be football season. You're
- 14:18Speaker 3: back at it again. Good to hear from you. All right,
- 14:21Speaker 3: I'm back. You're back, all right? Good, Good to hear
- 14:24Speaker 3: from you, Kurt. Eighteen wins, that's that's a lot they
- 14:29Speaker 3: you know, they as you know, Mike McCarthy said yesterday,
- 14:33Speaker 3: he's he's they're planning for uh I think you said,
- 14:36Speaker 3: you say, twenty one games. Twenty twenty one games is
- 14:39Speaker 3: what they their the plan is, uh, and that that
- 14:42Speaker 3: would go all the way to the Super Bowl.
- 14:44Speaker 14: Uh.
- 14:45Speaker 3: That actually is for four postseason games there, and so
- 14:49Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm sure there'll be some people that giving
- 14:51Speaker 3: him some some grief for that of you know, why
- 14:54Speaker 3: don't you think you can get the buye and all that.
- 14:56Speaker 3: If you got the buye, you have eighteen games. But
- 14:58Speaker 3: I think you have to prepare for all of it. Yeah,
- 15:00Speaker 3: to prepare that we're going to go out and play
- 15:01Speaker 3: twenty one games. And that's you know that that would
- 15:04Speaker 3: be great, that'd be outstanding if that happens. We haven't
- 15:07Speaker 3: seen it here before. We're talking about regular season and playoffs.
- 15:11Speaker 3: But but you know, that's that's what the players have
- 15:14Speaker 3: to do. The players and coaches have to have that mindset.
- 15:17Speaker 3: It's good that the fans are bringing it right now
- 15:21Speaker 3: as well. All right, Next is Chuck d He's in
- 15:25Speaker 3: Bridge City, Texas.
- 15:26Speaker 12: Chuck Dad, what's up man?
- 15:29Speaker 3: How you doing right? Yeah? What you got?
- 15:34Speaker 12: So with this year's draft, we're gonna have rookies contributing
- 15:38Speaker 12: at three different levels. You know, you got your line
- 15:42Speaker 12: cornerback and then the linebacker. My question was which one
- 15:48Speaker 12: has you the most excited, and which one has you
- 15:50Speaker 12: the most.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Nervous of the Well, yeah, yeah, what's your what's your pick?
- 15:56Speaker 12: I'm gonna say I'm excited to see the cornerback Carson.
- 16:00Speaker 12: We've been having some good luck and he's got a
- 16:02Speaker 12: good coach. And I'm nervous obviously about the line because
- 16:06Speaker 12: it's just, you know, so much could happen if we
- 16:09Speaker 12: have a bus at that at that left left end
- 16:11Speaker 12: with with the god from Oklahoma. So that's got me
- 16:15Speaker 12: the most nervous.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I understand that that. Thanks for
- 16:21Speaker 3: the for the call, And we have a mailback question
- 16:24Speaker 3: on Dallas Cowboys dot com or it'll it will be
- 16:26Speaker 3: going up soon on which of the rookies, which of
- 16:30Speaker 3: the three rookies kind of worries you the most? And
- 16:33Speaker 3: and uh of of you know, the starting rookies Carson
- 16:37Speaker 3: at cornerback, Tyler Guidon at left tackle, Cooper b Be
- 16:40Speaker 3: at center. Uh, I'm excited about all of them, though
- 16:43Speaker 3: the one that worries me the most is probably Bebe.
- 16:46Speaker 3: I'm talking about just for this game, just for you know,
- 16:49Speaker 3: Cleveland is really good at home there and and they're
- 16:52Speaker 3: they're a different football team at home. There that the
- 16:54Speaker 3: crowd will be uh, you know, crazy, and and he's
- 16:58Speaker 3: got to make the line calls. He got to get
- 17:00Speaker 3: the snap, he's got to block this guy up front.
- 17:02Speaker 3: It's a lot happening for him. Now. He does have
- 17:05Speaker 3: two all pro guards next to him that that could help,
- 17:10Speaker 3: and Tyler Guy and I get it, he's got he's
- 17:12Speaker 3: got to face Miles Garrett and he'll have a little
- 17:15Speaker 3: bit of help, but not all day long. I mean
- 17:17Speaker 3: McCarthy said that yesterday. He can't help at every play,
- 17:19Speaker 3: So he's gonna have to bring it. Kayln. Carson is
- 17:22Speaker 3: going to go up against you know, some some really
- 17:24Speaker 3: good receivers, including Amari Cooper, who's one of the best
- 17:27Speaker 3: route runners in the NFL. We saw that when he
- 17:29Speaker 3: was here, and that's you know, that's one that rookies
- 17:32Speaker 3: are gonna have to be ready for. That Nobody gets
- 17:34Speaker 3: in and out of their breaks better than than Amari.
- 17:38Speaker 3: So but all that being said, you know, I think
- 17:43Speaker 3: that it'll be I just picked Cooper bbe as the
- 17:47Speaker 3: guy a little bit the most worried about, just because
- 17:50Speaker 3: this is a new position for him. He really has
- 17:52Speaker 3: never played center in a meaningful game. Two preseason games
- 17:57Speaker 3: a little bit, but never even in college. So it's
- 18:00Speaker 3: all gonna be new. It's gonna be faster than he's
- 18:02Speaker 3: ever seen before. You can make the case for all
- 18:05Speaker 3: of them. I picked baby there. I'm excited about Guiden.
- 18:09Speaker 3: He's got so much length and that that that'll help him.
- 18:12Speaker 3: He did well in the times he was going up
- 18:14Speaker 3: against Micah Parsons. In practice, this is gonna be a different,
- 18:17Speaker 3: uh animal, because there's some bull rushers, there's speed rushers,
- 18:23Speaker 3: and then there's Miles Garrett who's just really good at both.
- 18:25Speaker 3: So welcome to the NFL for for Tyler Guiden, but
- 18:28Speaker 3: welcome to the NFL for all all of them. Should
- 18:31Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. We're gonna take another call
- 18:33Speaker 3: before we go to break here. Robbie's in Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie,
- 18:36Speaker 3: what's up?
- 18:37Speaker 15: What's up man? How you doing man?
- 18:40Speaker 3: Yeah, he's awesome, man, he's ready to go. He's excited.
- 18:44Speaker 16: Uh.
- 18:44Speaker 3: He's playing a little flag football himself for the first
- 18:46Speaker 3: time this year. So he he's nine years old.
- 18:50Speaker 15: Yes, that's awesome man.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Yep, yep. He had he had to pick a number.
- 18:52Speaker 3: He didn't know what number to pick, so, uh, four
- 18:55Speaker 3: was taken, and so he went with fifteen. You know,
- 18:57Speaker 3: he liked Zeke too. He gave Zeka high five, so
- 18:59Speaker 3: he like, so we're going with yeah, not bad, not bad,
- 19:03Speaker 3: not bad.
- 19:03Speaker 15: I'd gone with thirty.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Three or yeah yeah, well yeah, we had to make
- 19:09Speaker 3: a quick change, so we went with fifteen. It's all good.
- 19:12Speaker 3: He likes it. He's excited. I just he's gonna be center.
- 19:14Speaker 3: He's you know, he really should have picked probably Beb's
- 19:17Speaker 3: number because he's gonna be the center there, like like
- 19:21Speaker 3: Rudy all time center. Love it.
- 19:23Speaker 15: There you go, there you go? Hey, man, what are
- 19:25Speaker 15: your I've heard all these questions, man, and I think
- 19:28Speaker 15: Bbi's gonna be good. I can feel you on the
- 19:30Speaker 15: first game that that first game is gonna be a
- 19:32Speaker 15: weal for in the NFL. But I'm worried about a
- 19:34Speaker 15: running back.
- 19:36Speaker 5: How.
- 19:36Speaker 15: I just I don't know what I'm gonna see. What
- 19:38Speaker 15: are you thinking? And a side note, do you know
- 19:41Speaker 15: a guy named Jim Powell, maybe a hal of fame
- 19:42Speaker 15: announcer for the Braves and the Twins, worked above you
- 19:45Speaker 15: career baseball fans.
- 19:47Speaker 3: The name doesn't ring a bell. Sorry, all right, Not
- 19:50Speaker 3: to worry.
- 19:51Speaker 15: He's just a buddy of mine. He's starting a podcast.
- 19:53Speaker 15: I was gonna ask him questions if you know.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't don't know a lot of the
- 19:59Speaker 3: broadcasters for the baseball. Yeah, I watch a little bit
- 20:02Speaker 3: of baseball, but not not not to that point. So sorry.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I bet. I bet he's awesome. But I bet that's
- 20:06Speaker 3: a great podcast as well.
- 20:09Speaker 15: Well, let's hope. So it just started. All right, buddy,
- 20:11Speaker 15: all right, I'll take it off the air and listen
- 20:13Speaker 15: to question about running back and what you think is
- 20:15Speaker 15: gonna happen.
- 20:16Speaker 3: All right, Robbie, appreciate it. We're running back. That's the
- 20:18Speaker 3: you know. I I've said it before back in training
- 20:22Speaker 3: camp that I'm not sure the guy that leads the
- 20:24Speaker 3: team and rushing is actually on the roster. And then
- 20:27Speaker 3: since then they've added, uh, Dalvin Cook. One of our
- 20:32Speaker 3: other callers said he thought Dalvin Cook was gonna go
- 20:34Speaker 3: with eleven hundred yards. I mean he's on the practice
- 20:38Speaker 3: squad right now. I mean that now you can move
- 20:40Speaker 3: up to the roster. He could he could be elevated
- 20:43Speaker 3: to the roster for this game. I have a hard
- 20:47Speaker 3: time at this point, I have a hard time thinking
- 20:49Speaker 3: anybody's gonna rush for more than five hundred yards or so.
- 20:52Speaker 3: It just seems like this truly is a running back
- 20:55Speaker 3: by committee. There's good and bad to that. When there's
- 20:58Speaker 3: a committee, you know, it's you can that argument if
- 21:00Speaker 3: you've got if you've got three running backs, then you
- 21:03Speaker 3: really have zero, you know you. People will say that
- 21:06Speaker 3: type of stuff. But I think at running back it
- 21:09Speaker 3: is a position that you want to rotate them in.
- 21:13Speaker 3: I don't know if you have a special workhorse guy,
- 21:17Speaker 3: but I think that you can kind of ride the
- 21:18Speaker 3: hot hand, and I think that there will be times
- 21:21Speaker 3: where the hot hand will be Rico Daddle. I think
- 21:24Speaker 3: it'll be Zeke. At times it could be Dalvin Cook
- 21:27Speaker 3: depending on how that they use him. Who knows if
- 21:29Speaker 3: Deuce gets involved there. So I think they've got a
- 21:33Speaker 3: lot of options. It's just not what you're used to.
- 21:37Speaker 3: What most teams want is they want that one Bell
- 21:41Speaker 3: Kyle running back, that he's the guy, and he's the
- 21:44Speaker 3: guy that's getting it on third and one. Everybody knows it.
- 21:47Speaker 3: I don't know if you have that with this team
- 21:49Speaker 3: right now, but again it's early. I mean, one of
- 21:51Speaker 3: these running backs goes for one hundred and twenty five
- 21:53Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns. He's the guy. He's the guy
- 21:56Speaker 3: for the next week and all that. Like, that's just
- 21:57Speaker 3: what the way this thing works. So right now, we
- 21:59Speaker 3: don't know who that is, but it's there. It's open
- 22:03Speaker 3: for the taking for who who can run the ball,
- 22:06Speaker 3: and you know who can take it and run with it,
- 22:08Speaker 3: so to speak. All right, we're gonna take a break
- 22:10Speaker 3: here on Cowboys storyline and we'll be right back after this.

- 23:51Speaker 3: in and out, bringing the passion, bringing the excitement, bringing
- 23:55Speaker 3: the optimism, which is which is great at this time
- 23:57Speaker 3: of year. Cowboys taking on the Browns this week in Cleveland.
- 24:02Speaker 3: Interesting Week one matchup. It's not the first time the
- 24:05Speaker 3: Cowboys have gone to Cleveland to start the year. They
- 24:08Speaker 3: did it in two thousand and eight. It feels like
- 24:10Speaker 3: a lifetime ago. And it was I mean, the t
- 24:13Speaker 3: O was playing Felix Jones. It was the was a
- 24:18Speaker 3: rookie running back that year, and Cowboys went up there
- 24:21Speaker 3: and won the game. Hoping to do the same this
- 24:25Speaker 3: week in Cleveland. I think Cleveland's going to bring a
- 24:27Speaker 3: little bit more punch than they did before. Maybe the
- 24:29Speaker 3: Cowboys Kim as well. All right, Lewis in Langston, Oklahoma,
- 24:34Speaker 3: is next, Lewis? What's up?
- 24:36Speaker 14: Man?
- 24:39Speaker 12: Working as us?
- 24:40Speaker 7: You'd like you?
- 24:41Speaker 3: All right?
- 24:43Speaker 18: No, I was calling because I just wanted to think.
- 24:45Speaker 18: I mean, well, I was kind of looking at the
- 24:47Speaker 18: game ahead and getting excited myself, and I was wondering,
- 24:51Speaker 18: who were you excited or what position are you excited
- 24:54Speaker 18: to watch the most as this game goes. I mean,
- 24:57Speaker 18: you know, you want to see Dak Prescott, you want
- 24:59Speaker 18: to see CDN. But outside of like the big guys
- 25:02Speaker 18: like Mike and stuff like that, what position are you
- 25:05Speaker 18: going to be excited about? Because me personally, I want
- 25:07Speaker 18: to see what the linebacker's got and hopefully if if
- 25:12Speaker 18: we're watching a lot of linebackers make a lot of plays,
- 25:14Speaker 18: that mean the D line and the big boys in
- 25:16Speaker 18: the middle, we're doing what they're supposed to lose. So
- 25:17Speaker 18: I'm gonna try to keep my eye on both of
- 25:18Speaker 18: those things, and like always, I ain't gonna hold you
- 25:21Speaker 18: too long, and I'll listen as a go.
- 25:23Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it, Lewis, Thank you so much. Lewis
- 25:26Speaker 3: and Langston talking about linebackers, Uh, that's your pick. That's
- 25:30Speaker 3: a good one. That's one that I think we're all
- 25:32Speaker 3: gonna be looking at that. I mean you could say
- 25:34Speaker 3: the same for every position. That offensive line though. You know,
- 25:39Speaker 3: if the line is doing its job, everybody else can
- 25:43Speaker 3: do theirs and the running backs will be good if
- 25:46Speaker 3: the line is good, and Tyler Guiding at left tackle
- 25:50Speaker 3: and Cooper BB at center, and then you know Zach Martin,
- 25:54Speaker 3: like you know, are you Are you still gonna do
- 25:57Speaker 3: your thing? Are you still doing all pro things? I mean,
- 26:00Speaker 3: we haven't seen a drop off from him, and I'm
- 26:03Speaker 3: not expecting one this year, so uh, you know you
- 26:06Speaker 3: still want him to be that that guy. I think
- 26:08Speaker 3: Terrence Still at right tackle is gonna have his best
- 26:10Speaker 3: season of his career. And then of course Tyler Smith
- 26:13Speaker 3: at left guard. I know I jumped around a little bit,
- 26:15Speaker 3: but that that offensive line, that's that's where it starts.
- 26:19Speaker 3: That's where you know, that's where we'll find out what
- 26:23Speaker 3: this team's really made of. So, uh, I think Cleveland's
- 26:26Speaker 3: gonna gonna be very tough. That's a tough matchup for
- 26:29Speaker 3: for the Cowboys O line, but you know, it should
- 26:32Speaker 3: be a tough matchup for the for the Browns D line.
- 26:35Speaker 3: And uh if if they you know, bring it like
- 26:38Speaker 3: we expect them to, then that's where it's all gonna
- 26:41Speaker 3: The game's gonna hangees right there in the trenches, all right,
- 26:45Speaker 3: Steve in New York. Good to hear from you.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Steve, Hey, what's.
- 26:51Speaker 3: A thank you so much? Appreciate it.
- 26:54Speaker 10: Looking forward to the season like I do everyone. I'm
- 26:58Speaker 10: actually going down there for two games this year.
- 27:00Speaker 15: Excited about that.
- 27:03Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, the Lions and the Texans, you know, two
- 27:06Speaker 10: easy ones.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a time when you would say that,
- 27:11Speaker 3: but I don't know.
- 27:11Speaker 10: This year, not currently, Not currently. I want to hit
- 27:15Speaker 10: you with a tribute before I go, but I just
- 27:18Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to this season and this I might
- 27:21Speaker 10: be the minority here, but I know everyone was critical
- 27:24Speaker 10: of the players we lost and whatnot in Washington, going
- 27:27Speaker 10: down there and everybody, I just I'm glad that these
- 27:30Speaker 10: young kids. I'm so you know, looking forward to seeing
- 27:33Speaker 10: what the young guys could do. And again, no disrespect
- 27:35Speaker 10: to anyone who left the team, but I just didn't
- 27:38Speaker 10: want to see the same guys, you know, trot it
- 27:40Speaker 10: out there again. And you know, I get twelve and
- 27:43Speaker 10: five was great, but I just you know, these young kids,
- 27:46Speaker 10: I want to see what they could do. And yeah,
- 27:49Speaker 10: you never know, you never know because I know what
- 27:51Speaker 10: we had and you know.
- 27:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. There's some times where
- 27:58Speaker 3: you just need a new VOI So you you need
- 28:01Speaker 3: some new new excitement. We saw it in twenty sixteen.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Now that was the quarterback and the running back for
- 28:06Speaker 3: the most part. But but yeah, like I said to
- 28:09Speaker 3: the previous caller, I mean, your offensive line is kind
- 28:12Speaker 3: of sets the tone for your team. And you still
- 28:15Speaker 3: have some guys that are ready to fight. I mean,
- 28:18Speaker 3: you you have that Terren Steele and and Tyler Smith,
- 28:22Speaker 3: Zach Martin, those guys. You know, they're they're not new
- 28:25Speaker 3: by any means, but you needed some some some new guys.
- 28:27Speaker 3: And again this is no disregrect Tyren Smith's gonna be
- 28:31Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame. So yeah, and we know that.
- 28:34Speaker 3: And I'm not saying they'll be better at left tackle
- 28:36Speaker 3: than then what they were, or even better at center
- 28:39Speaker 3: right away. But I hear what you're saying. You needed
- 28:42Speaker 3: some some more athleticism, You needed some some just some
- 28:46Speaker 3: youthful exuberance, and I think that these two guys will
- 28:49Speaker 3: bring that.
- 28:50Speaker 10: I'm hoping so absolutely quick trivia. I'll be impressed if
- 28:55Speaker 10: you get this one. I actually said this maybe on
- 28:57Speaker 10: the text line last year. I'm not sure, but Ceedee
- 29:01Speaker 10: Lamb in his career has caught touchdown passes from four
- 29:05Speaker 10: cowboy quarterbacks. Who are they?
- 29:09Speaker 3: Oh, four crab quarterbacks.
- 29:11Speaker 10: I was obby to get to get Dak Dak for sure.
- 29:15Speaker 3: And then let's see uh Andy Dalton yep, see Andy
- 29:21Speaker 3: Dalton and Dak and Cooper Rush.
- 29:27Speaker 10: And then the fourth one is like, I mean, I'll
- 29:31Speaker 10: say this, this is how This was his only career
- 29:33Speaker 10: touchdown pass.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Okay, so in that game probably twenty twenty, right, it was,
- 29:40Speaker 3: uh twenty twenty. I'm trying to think of that guy
- 29:43Speaker 3: that played for the Steelers. That's who it is.
- 29:45Speaker 12: You got it in the Steelers game, and I can't.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Remember his name. He played in that Steelers guy. I
- 29:49Speaker 3: remember the play. It was right around the right side
- 29:52Speaker 3: in the in the corner. Uh beam. Who was that guy?
- 29:56Speaker 3: The backup quarterback? It was a journeyman. He played Gilbert.
- 30:03Speaker 7: No, you're there?
- 30:04Speaker 5: What is it?
- 30:05Speaker 14: Was it?
- 30:08Speaker 3: There?
- 30:08Speaker 17: You go?
- 30:09Speaker 3: That was a very touchdown. Yeah, yeah, that that feels
- 30:14Speaker 3: that was twenty twenty. That feels like a lifetime ago.
- 30:16Speaker 3: I remember watching that game in a suite because of COVID,
- 30:20Speaker 3: we had to do things differently. I had to because
- 30:22Speaker 3: I was interviewing the players, but I had to be,
- 30:24Speaker 3: you know, away from the rest of the media. I
- 30:27Speaker 3: remember watching that with a in a suite and that
- 30:30Speaker 3: game was that. It was a crazy game. They had
- 30:31Speaker 3: a chance to win it.
- 30:33Speaker 5: They did, Yeah, they did.
- 30:34Speaker 3: There was a there was a do you remember this
- 30:37Speaker 3: rookie running back that had like a sixty five yard
- 30:40Speaker 3: kickoff return in.
- 30:41Speaker 10: The game that kind of remember, Yeah, I remember that play.
- 30:44Speaker 10: I sure do.
- 30:45Speaker 17: It was.
- 30:46Speaker 3: It was a guy named Rico Dawdle. That's how long
- 30:49Speaker 3: ago that's been.
- 30:49Speaker 16: He was really he sure was not not not the.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Weird play that they do a throwback to CJ. Goodwin
- 30:55Speaker 3: that also, but Rico Dowell. It was a kick returner
- 30:58Speaker 3: back then with the a lot of injuries and here
- 31:01Speaker 3: he is now getting ready to take on a bigger role.
- 31:03Speaker 3: But yeah, good question there for four from four touchdown
- 31:06Speaker 3: passes from a two CD Lamb obviously looking to have
- 31:11Speaker 3: a lot more here from from dak as we move
- 31:15Speaker 3: along here, All right, let's go to Rick in Massachusetts. Rick,

- 32:02Speaker 3: I know you guys say it all the time, how
- 32:04Speaker 3: it's hard to get in here. I think this is
- 32:05Speaker 3: this would be the time to do that. We'll take
- 32:08Speaker 3: a break here in a little bit, but we still
- 32:09Speaker 3: got a little bit of time. I can kind of
- 32:11Speaker 3: go back to some of these questions that I had
- 32:14Speaker 3: to kind of briefly get to. Unless we have another caller, Chris,
- 32:17Speaker 3: let me know if we have one. We do have one,
- 32:20Speaker 3: so let's go. Let's go to it here. How about
- 32:23Speaker 3: this is gonna be a here we go for sure,
- 32:24Speaker 3: Hector in el passa Hector, sir.
- 32:28Speaker 19: Here we go, Actually not really, here we go.
- 32:30Speaker 16: Here we go for this season.
- 32:32Speaker 3: All right, that's good. That counts.
- 32:35Speaker 19: Last season, all right. But anyways, my question is, and
- 32:40Speaker 19: I don't know how everybody feels about this one, but
- 32:44Speaker 19: I see it might be just me. I don't know,
- 32:46Speaker 19: maybe hind hopes, but I see Ferguson being one of
- 32:50Speaker 19: those uh Travis Kelsey's you know, kind of producing, you know,
- 32:55Speaker 19: developing into that kind of a tight end. I know
- 32:58Speaker 19: everybody's worried about the kind of weapons re having it,
- 33:01Speaker 19: but I feel he's up and coming. Still, he's still
- 33:03Speaker 19: pretty new in the league, but I think this is
- 33:07Speaker 19: going to be one of those years where he takes
- 33:09Speaker 19: a bigger step, gives us another weapon to go for,
- 33:12Speaker 19: and uh, we need to stop worrying about the running backs. Man,
- 33:15Speaker 19: the running backs will will do good with the line
- 33:19Speaker 19: we have. I think we have really good potential there.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I mean I I tend to agree
- 33:24Speaker 3: with you on that. I think the running backs it'll
- 33:26Speaker 3: work itself out. Uh what you said about Jake Ferguson,
- 33:29Speaker 3: you know, he said yesterday about the chemistry that he
- 33:33Speaker 3: has with Dak and and they they text each other
- 33:36Speaker 3: at night and and he says, hey, I want to
- 33:38Speaker 3: work on this a little bit tomorrow. And He's like,
- 33:40Speaker 3: and Dak's you know, yes, they'll do that. We'll stay
- 33:42Speaker 3: after practice. Let's do that they have. They have really
- 33:45Speaker 3: good chemistry. And you mentioned, you know, Travis Kelsey that
- 33:48Speaker 3: that that would be you know, if he could get
- 33:52Speaker 3: to that level, of course, you know that that would
- 33:54Speaker 3: be unbelievable because Kelsey's not only one of the best
- 33:58Speaker 3: that you know that's playing right now it's tight end,
- 34:00Speaker 3: but one of the best that's ever played the position.
- 34:04Speaker 3: And the connection there is he's really hasn't had a
- 34:07Speaker 3: lot of different quarterbacks. I mean, it's been him and
- 34:10Speaker 3: Mahomes and I think you look at Gronk, it was
- 34:13Speaker 3: him and Brady. When you have a great tight end
- 34:16Speaker 3: and Witten Romo. Now Witten did it with other quarterbacks
- 34:19Speaker 3: as well, but for the most part, your tight end,
- 34:22Speaker 3: I mean, he's got to be on the same page
- 34:24Speaker 3: as your as your as your quarterback, and they just
- 34:28Speaker 3: got to have that chemistry. So that's where I think
- 34:31Speaker 3: it's going to take it this year. If CD is
- 34:33Speaker 3: doing his thing and command and double teams and Brandon
- 34:35Speaker 3: Cooks can can be there and the running game can
- 34:38Speaker 3: be effective, that only opens things up even more for
- 34:41Speaker 3: for Ferguson. He's got to be able to overpower. If
- 34:45Speaker 3: they want to put younger I mean, are smaller corners
- 34:47Speaker 3: on him, you got to be able to box them
- 34:49Speaker 3: out like you're getting a rebound and and use your size.
- 34:53Speaker 3: If they're going to put a linebacker on him, you
- 34:55Speaker 3: gotta beat him, you gotta beat them. You got to
- 34:58Speaker 3: be that kind of athlete. That's what a gre tight
- 35:00Speaker 3: end is. You can you can dominate the smaller defensive backs,
- 35:05Speaker 3: you can outrun the linebackers. And what makes you a
- 35:08Speaker 3: great tight end is that when it is that time
- 35:11Speaker 3: that you have to go head to head with the
- 35:12Speaker 3: big bull rushing defensive end, hold your own, not saying
- 35:16Speaker 3: pancake the guy but you got to be able to
- 35:18Speaker 3: step in there and do those things. That's what makes
- 35:20Speaker 3: a great tight end. Somebody that can do all of
- 35:22Speaker 3: those things, and I think Jake Ferguson has a chance
- 35:25Speaker 3: to do that. All right, let's take another break, our
- 35:26Speaker 3: last break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back

- 38:21Speaker 13: hang out chat nothing really to specific talk about, but
- 38:24Speaker 13: just hang out, get to know each other and talk
- 38:26Speaker 13: some football. So go on Twitter, look up Cowboys Storyliners

- 38:35Speaker 3: guys are we're all in there and going live.
- 38:38Speaker 2: What is that going to be?
- 38:39Speaker 13: You know, we just did one because we had a
- 38:41Speaker 13: fantasy football lead for the storyliners that we did. We
- 38:43Speaker 13: got twelve people in there. And yeah, maybe next year
- 38:46Speaker 13: you and Beemer can join and we can get a
- 38:48Speaker 13: little fan versus hosts going on.
- 38:50Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, we do that for sure. Yeah, that'll
- 38:53Speaker 3: be fun, cool, cool.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll probably do one.
- 38:56Speaker 13: What are we in September? Probably to late September will
- 38:59Speaker 13: be the next one.
- 38:59Speaker 3: All right, sounds good. What's on your mind, Dylan?
- 39:03Speaker 13: Yeah, I'll go super quick here. You know, we got
- 39:05Speaker 13: a lot of worried about Ky sorry Miles Garrett. Right,
- 39:09Speaker 13: I'm really worried about Amari Cooper versus our rookie year
- 39:12Speaker 13: Carson on the outside. I know he won't line up
- 39:13Speaker 13: against him the whole game, but when he does, it's
- 39:16Speaker 13: going to be interesting to see how a route technician
- 39:19Speaker 13: like Cooper deals with Carson. There's really the other way around.
- 39:22Speaker 13: And then just a quick question for you. I'm really
- 39:25Speaker 13: excited this year about Jake Ferguson and over showing those
- 39:27Speaker 13: are my two guys or are maybe a player or
- 39:30Speaker 13: two that you're excited to see.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Man, I'm excited. Thank you, Dylan, appreciate it. I think
- 39:36Speaker 3: we're all a little bit excited about Jake Ferguson just
- 39:39Speaker 3: to take that next leap. You know, he did a
- 39:41Speaker 3: huge jump there from year one to year two, but
- 39:43Speaker 3: then year three as well. Oh man, I've got a
- 39:46Speaker 3: lot of different players that I'm excited to see. I
- 39:49Speaker 3: want to see those defensive tackles there. I really liked
- 39:53Speaker 3: the first game I saw out of Jordan Phillips, and
- 39:56Speaker 3: I thought that he can really help this team because
- 40:00Speaker 3: you know, he was providing to push there. The defensive
- 40:03Speaker 3: ends on the outside were not Micah Parsons in tank
- 40:06Speaker 3: uh and and so if he can can really help
- 40:10Speaker 3: plug up that middle. And he's so big that you
- 40:15Speaker 3: have to either either think about a double team or
- 40:19Speaker 3: you know, your running back has to get help and
- 40:21Speaker 3: chip there. You can't double everybody. So I think he's
- 40:24Speaker 3: gonna be the type of guy.
- 40:25Speaker 2: You know.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Then also Linval Joseph in there, Mazzy Smith, oh so Odzua.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Usually I never have a problem with that. I was
- 40:33Speaker 3: worried about the new guy that they they signed, and
- 40:36Speaker 3: here I am messing up OS's name. But those four
- 40:39Speaker 3: guys in the middle almost like five guys. I mean,
- 40:41Speaker 3: that's how big those four are in the middle. And
- 40:44Speaker 3: I think that's really going to provide a big push
- 40:47Speaker 3: for the defensive line, help stop the running game and
- 40:50Speaker 3: let those guys on the outside kind of do their thing.
- 40:52Speaker 5: All right.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Another element to this show that I just want to
- 40:56Speaker 3: remind you guys on is the text line. We take
- 40:57Speaker 3: a lot of callers, but some people cannot call in.
- 41:00Speaker 3: They can send text messages eight one seven two nine
- 41:03Speaker 3: zero three two nine eight. That's the text line you
- 41:06Speaker 3: can you can text us throughout the show. Before the show,
- 41:09Speaker 3: Chris was running that as well. He's doing everything. He's
- 41:12Speaker 3: wearing thirty seven hats back there, but he can do
- 41:14Speaker 3: that and put the text line question on there. We
- 41:18Speaker 3: did get one from Joe in Stamford, Texas. Joe used
- 41:22Speaker 3: to call all the time. He's changed jobs a little bit.
- 41:24Speaker 3: He can't he can't call like he used to, but
- 41:27Speaker 3: he can definitely send some questions. And here's one that
- 41:30Speaker 3: he says, what does success look like for this season?
- 41:33Speaker 16: For me?
- 41:34Speaker 3: It's playing in the NFC Championship Game. Maybe unrealistic, but
- 41:37Speaker 3: that's my goal for the team. What does success look like.
- 41:41Speaker 3: I think as the season, you know, before the season
- 41:43Speaker 3: even starts, I think that's that's a good goal. I
- 41:46Speaker 3: mean I look at it like when your division this
- 41:49Speaker 3: is something and yes, they did it last year, but
- 41:52Speaker 3: that that means that it's probably not going to happen
- 41:55Speaker 3: if you just go by history. It's been twenty two seasons,
- 41:58Speaker 3: I think, all the way back since two thousand and three,
- 42:00Speaker 3: in two thousand and four, where uh, the NFC East
- 42:03Speaker 3: has not had a repeat champion. That's that's amazing to
- 42:07Speaker 3: me that that that hasn't happened. So and the Cowboys
- 42:10Speaker 3: obviously won it last year, so history isn't on their
- 42:13Speaker 3: side to win that. I think that would be the
- 42:15Speaker 3: most realistic goal there. Win your division, be the best there,
- 42:19Speaker 3: and then we'll see what happens in the playoffs.
- 42:21Speaker 15: You know.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Like I told another caller earlier today, they that was
- 42:24Speaker 3: the same thing. Kurt in Arkansas. He said, hey, let's
- 42:27Speaker 3: let's go to the NFC Championship game. And maybe it
- 42:29Speaker 3: wasn't Kurt, but we did get that, and I was like,
- 42:32Speaker 3: let's just go let's keep it going all the way.
- 42:34Speaker 3: I mean no, no, it wasn't Kurt. Kurt had had
- 42:36Speaker 3: him winn an eighteen games, winning the whole thing. There
- 42:39Speaker 3: was other callers today saying, let's go NFC championship game,
- 42:43Speaker 3: and I kind of think, you know, that that would
- 42:45Speaker 3: be that would be amazing. I've never seen an NFC
- 42:48Speaker 3: championship game before, but I do think that to me,
- 42:52Speaker 3: the most realistic goals, you know, is get to the
- 42:55Speaker 3: playoffs and win your division. From there, anything can happen.
- 42:58Speaker 3: For the Cowboys, We've seen it and the other way
- 43:01Speaker 3: where we're unexpected losses like last year. Maybe maybe time
- 43:07Speaker 3: is on their side now that they can kind of
- 43:09Speaker 3: change it up and and and they can be the
- 43:11Speaker 3: team that goes to the playoffs and surprises people. But
- 43:14Speaker 3: you know, that's that's just a big goal. The goal
- 43:16Speaker 3: is to to go out and you know, compete, you know,
- 43:20Speaker 3: be good enough to compete for a championship. And that's
- 43:22Speaker 3: what you have to do each week to get to
- 43:24Speaker 3: the playoffs, and you get there, be good enough to
- 43:26Speaker 3: go and win it. All right. The next caller is
- 43:30Speaker 3: Nico in Colorado Springs. Nico, what's up, hey, Nick?
- 43:34Speaker 16: How you doing, man, first time caller, All right, man,
- 43:36Speaker 16: here we go.
- 43:37Speaker 5: Here we go, Yes, sir, here we go.
- 43:39Speaker 16: So a couple of things. I know we're short on time,
- 43:42Speaker 16: so I'm gonna run through these real fast. First, I'm
- 43:44Speaker 16: a corrections officer, so it's very hard for me to
- 43:46Speaker 16: get through, so I'll probably use the text line. Second,
- 43:49Speaker 16: your book, if these Walls could talk, phenomenal, and I
- 43:52Speaker 16: thank you for autographing mine. When you first put those out,
- 43:57Speaker 16: you did a short thing online and I appreciate your autography.
- 44:02Speaker 3: I might have to do that again. Thank you.
- 44:04Speaker 5: It was.
- 44:04Speaker 16: It's such a great book. If anybody's not read it,
- 44:07Speaker 16: seriously take the time. The Ford by Darren Woodson is phenomenal.
- 44:12Speaker 5: The book is great.
- 44:12Speaker 16: I can't say enough. Thank you, absolutely, thank you. First
- 44:17Speaker 16: favorite wrestler of all time. I'm a nineties boy. I
- 44:19Speaker 16: am a Shawn Michaels fan. Can't help it, that's what
- 44:21Speaker 16: it is. I'm also now bald today just like he was,
- 44:24Speaker 16: but back in the nineties I had long hair.
- 44:26Speaker 15: Go figure.
- 44:28Speaker 16: Number favorite favorite cowboy of all time, Emmitt Smith. It
- 44:32Speaker 16: is what it is. I don't care about Barry Sanders,
- 44:35Speaker 16: I don't care about all that no, the Great is
- 44:37Speaker 16: twenty two. If it isn't the Great twenty two, it
- 44:41Speaker 16: ain't him. I'm just saying real quick. I got two
- 44:44Speaker 16: stories and then I'm gonna let or three stories. I'm
- 44:47Speaker 16: gonna let you go. Number one. You've had mentioned multiple
- 44:51Speaker 16: times you love Tony dor Set. I have a fun
- 44:53Speaker 16: story back when I was in high school, I met
- 44:56Speaker 16: Aaron Kyles. I'm from Altaso, Texas, originally moved over here
- 45:00Speaker 16: to Colorado Springs. And when you moved to Colorado Springs
- 45:04Speaker 16: you get some old school Dallas cowboys who used to
- 45:06Speaker 16: play for the dreaded Denver Broncos. But I met Aaron
- 45:09Speaker 16: Kyle's granddaughter or excuse me, daughter, I apologize his daughter
- 45:13Speaker 16: while working her godfather was Tony Dorset or is Tony Dorset,
- 45:18Speaker 16: and I didn't believe her. She brought in a photo
- 45:22Speaker 16: of mister Dorset holding her as a young baby, and
- 45:25Speaker 16: then when she graduated high school, mister Dorset was there,
- 45:28Speaker 16: and of course her father was there. So that's a
- 45:29Speaker 16: pretty cool story. When you live here in Colorado Springs,
- 45:33Speaker 16: the legend of mister Chad Hennings is always around. And
- 45:38Speaker 16: I just got to say the coolest thing I've ever
- 45:39Speaker 16: done in my life. And if any Dallas Cowboys fan
- 45:42Speaker 16: can do this, mister Hennings is so cool.
- 45:44Speaker 15: He'll do it for you or he'll do it with you.
- 45:46Speaker 16: He let me hold his three Super Bowl rings when
- 45:49Speaker 16: I met him here in Colorado Springs for Fisher to
- 45:51Speaker 16: Bury's retirement, which is the coach for Air Force Football
- 45:56Speaker 16: boy back and the last thing, mister Eatman, and I'm
- 45:59Speaker 16: gonna leave you. I was born December ninth, nineteen eighty four. Unfortunately,
- 46:03Speaker 16: we lost to the Redskins that day. It was thirty
- 46:06Speaker 16: to twenty eight. The fun story about that is my
- 46:08Speaker 16: mom refused to push unless the doctor put the Dallas
- 46:12Speaker 16: Cowboys on TV. So I was born a Cowboys fan,
- 46:14Speaker 16: always will be a Cowboys fan. Let's go Cowboys and
- 46:17Speaker 16: let's get routed.
- 46:18Speaker 3: All right, awesome, good stuff. I remember that game. I
- 46:23Speaker 3: remember that game as well. The Cowboys, I believe, were
- 46:25Speaker 3: winning twenty one to six. Maybe at the half I
- 46:28Speaker 3: thought they had that game, they were gonna beat the Redskins,
- 46:30Speaker 3: and then Washington came back and won it there late
- 46:34Speaker 3: and it might have been one of those games that
- 46:36Speaker 3: really knocked them out of the playoffs that year because
- 46:38Speaker 3: to that point they had they'd made the playoff almost
- 46:40Speaker 3: every year twenty straight years, and so I don't think
- 46:43Speaker 3: they made it in eighty four, and that loss was
- 46:45Speaker 3: a tough one. All right, A lot of stories there,
- 46:48Speaker 3: a lot of quick stuff. We're gonna we need to
- 46:50Speaker 3: do one more caller before we finish this up. Maurice
- 46:53Speaker 3: is in Tacoma, Washington. Maurice, what's up?
- 46:56Speaker 5: Hey, Nick? Thanks for our particular our car. No requests
- 46:58Speaker 5: for time, so I'm gonna get right to it. I'm
- 47:01Speaker 5: really excited to see all the great work that this
- 47:04Speaker 5: front office has done. I really appreciate everything that they're doing.
- 47:07Speaker 5: And I want to know how important is it to
- 47:09Speaker 5: you that we make sure that we don't allow Will
- 47:11Speaker 5: McClay to get out of this office, and what efforts
- 47:14Speaker 5: do we need to make to make sure that he's
- 47:16Speaker 5: locked in.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Thanks taking my call, all right, you know, thank you
- 47:20Speaker 3: for bringing that up. A lot of people talked about
- 47:23Speaker 3: there's about thirty guys that are, you know, on the
- 47:25Speaker 3: last year of their deal. Players, coaches. Will McLay is
- 47:30Speaker 3: as well, and that would be a a big loss
- 47:34Speaker 3: if he does leave and after this season and go
- 47:37Speaker 3: take a GM job. What it would take again. I
- 47:43Speaker 3: don't know that. I mean, because you know, you can
- 47:46Speaker 3: say money, title, more responsibilities. I'm not sure it might
- 47:52Speaker 3: be a situation if that were, if he were to leave,
- 47:56Speaker 3: it would probably be just like, hey, you know, it's
- 47:59Speaker 3: time to to take on a different challenge. And if
- 48:02Speaker 3: that's what he does again, we're getting ahead of ourselves
- 48:05Speaker 3: a little bit. I know Will McLay is as committed
- 48:08Speaker 3: as anybody to turning this thing, or not turning it around,
- 48:11Speaker 3: but to get to get this thing to to the
- 48:14Speaker 3: highest level.
- 48:15Speaker 14: Uh.
- 48:15Speaker 3: And I know that that's a goal of his and
- 48:17Speaker 3: and and nobody works harder uh than he does. And
- 48:20Speaker 3: he's he has a great relationship with the Jones family.
- 48:23Speaker 3: So uh, you know hopefully that you know that doesn't change, uh,
- 48:27Speaker 3: because you look at the way this team is drafted,
- 48:30Speaker 3: and look at how you know they they they bring
- 48:32Speaker 3: in some some good pieces of free agency. It's not
- 48:34Speaker 3: the biggest thing they do in March and April, but
- 48:37Speaker 3: they have put some pieces together and they build through
- 48:40Speaker 3: the draft, and and he spearheads that. And he's done
- 48:42Speaker 3: an outstanding job, all right, uh out, speaking of outstanding job,
- 48:47Speaker 3: you guys were amazing today. I mean fifteen calls, and
- 48:51Speaker 3: I mean that's that's unheard of. Uh, to take the
- 48:54Speaker 3: breaks that we did and to get the first time
- 48:56Speaker 3: callers and the stories and uh, it was it was amazing.
- 48:59Speaker 3: So so really excited about the start of this season
- 49:03Speaker 3: and where we're headed. You guys have done an awesome job.
