• 1:17
  Speaker 3: day they'll be an impassionate little speech on why I
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: love the Cowboys, and it's gonna be real quick. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: love the Dallas Cowboys. I love Jerry Jones. There's nothing
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: he can do that'll really hit me. I love all
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you guys hanging with the boys, my crew that are
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: hanging bang with for seven years you now and Chris
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: two years talking with you. I love all the podcasts.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And it's nothing negative that can be stood about the
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Cowboys that's done that's gonna influence me to dislike them,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: to talk about them. And I've been hearing a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: of people just, you know, just kind of sad and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: sorrowful listening to the other TV commentaries and getting down
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: on Calboys, getting down on Jerry Man. All I can
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: tell you to do is support your team and love
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: your team and show the real fandom.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: That's it, all right, man, That's a good that's a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: good call to start us off. And uh and I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: think that's I think you know, you're preaching to the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to the choir on that when when I think for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: people on this show, you know, these are die hard
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: fans and and and I think if you're a call
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: into the show, doesn't mean you're not frustrated, doesn't mean
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you're not you know, you don't expect more, expect a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: higher standard for what we've seen. I get that, But
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the ones that say that are still coming back.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly get that, and I think the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Cowboys appreciate that. But they know where they need to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be and and they know that the standard for this
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: team uh is higher than what it's been. But I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: think fans like you, Anthony, and fans like you know
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: whoever else is listening right now, fans like you, is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what what kind of carries them?
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And and we'll and we'll eventually get them over the top.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You know, they they they definitely need them, need you guys,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and so much appreciative for the call. Today. Let's go
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to Brian in Kansas City. Brian's next. What's up? Brian?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Good morning, sir.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great, man, So I'm gonna I know, we
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: got Shotty's press conference that's gonna cut us off today.
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: So just one question and I'll hang up and listen.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: H I'd love to.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: Know what your take is on all.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: These backup offensive tackles.
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: You know, we've got a bunch of them.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: You know, there's you know, obviously they're all factoring in
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: right now. We hope that all the starters will be
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: back by day one, but that just maybe what you have,
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: you have you come you know, first of all, Nate
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Thomas was a surprise to me as being the first guy.
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: As hey, we're going to give him the first shot.
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: Just whatever your opinion is, what you've seen and and
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: what opinion you've developed having watched him in person. All right,
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: thanks man, I'll talk to you later.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. And obviously you know that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a big deal with Tyler Geiton's knee injury. You know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the prognosis there was four to six weeks. I think
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it's five weeks to the to the game. Is it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: five weeks today? Is that right? Thursday? Probably are five
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: weeks from today on the Thursday night game. So that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: kind of right there in the wheelhouse for where Guidon's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: injury is. And even at that, you know, here's a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: guy that needs reps. I mean, he just does. He
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: needs more than any anybody on the team. I would
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: think Tyler Goyton needs the most reps. And so he's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: not gonna get those does that mean he's ready to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: come back in If somebody in that group of Nate Thomas,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Awesome Richards a Keemadnagy, if those guys, if any of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: those guys really kind of moved to the forefront and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and kind of take some ownership, you know, they have
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a chance to maybe keep that job. We saw it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: last year. Schumanidoga was a better option than Tyler Goyiton.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That's not what they expected, but that's what it was.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And when you got a sixty million dollars quarterback and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you've got an offense with a lot of playmakers that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you need that you need that left tackle spot manned
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: better than any other spot on the team, then you're
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not gonna play favorites. You're not just gonna say, wow,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we want to play Tyler Guidon because he's the draft pick,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: he's the first round pick. We don't want to look
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: silly here. You're you're gonna you're gonna play the guy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that's the best option. And so uh, it's it's here
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for the take. And to answer your question, I'll say
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: this about Nate Thomas. Nate Thomas was probably a second
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: round third third round maybe, but even a late second
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: round projection. As far as talent. The problem with him,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't just one thing, it was a ton
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of injuries. He had a lot of injuries in college.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He just couldn't get over that hump. And then he
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: comes here and he gets hurt. But he's really really
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: smart guy. I check out his interview it's on our website,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if you can. Really really good kid, and it seems
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: like he's he's got his head on his shoulders really firmly,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: really really smart guy. And I love, I love what
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I see with him, But again, can you play? Can
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you be the guy? Austin Richards now going into his
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: third year, But maybe it's because he's a he's a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: little bit more of a veteran, But I I think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: if they gave it to you know, Keem identity now
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he got banged up a little bit too, but I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: think he might be your best option there. But they're
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be looking at a lot of things. Don't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be surprised if they bring somebody in from another team
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or make a trade. It's that important. And I think
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if they did out a guy, it would be somebody
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that could could go both both sides, you know, left
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: left tackle and right tackle there as well. All right,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: What's up?
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Nick? And Oxnard? By way with Frisco?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What's up with? What's up with you?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Not a lot?
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I have got two comments and then I'll get off
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: the line. I know we're trying to move today. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: appreciate so one, there's a cool raid pitcher sit in
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: front of all the fans, and I think it's half full.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: When it comes to Brian Schottenheimer, I'm drinking the kool aid. Man.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: He's got the team accountable. He's making them run after
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: saying he was going to throw you know people out
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: of practice, and I think he did. And yeah, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: just I wanted some new culture in the building. I
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: wanted some discipline, holding players accountable because we always have
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: a penalty at the wrong time in the past, like
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: fifteen years. So I like what I see so far.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: The picture is half full. It's not full because we
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: got to see it in the season and beyond, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I like it. Color me thirsty for some of that
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Google aid. All right, now number two, with Micah in
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: the contract situation, we've got our rookie Donovan as ROKU
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: getting a lot of looks, and I think he's looking
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: good from the things that I hear and see. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: think when Micah gets back in the fold, I think
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: that's only going to benefit everything. We are already pretty
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: high on the pick and the player, and I think
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: all the looks that he's getting now Donovan is only
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: going to be better once Mike is back. So I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: excited for that. And that's all I got. Man, You
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: all have a good.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: One, thanks, Zach, appreciate that really good call. Let's start.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Let me start backwards on that as a rokup, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I guess i'll tell you in a little bit to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: your first part about the glass half full, half empty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far down the road
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on excitement on a pass rusher without real pads, without
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the one hundred percent contact like that. My
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: very first year working for the team, nineteen ninety nine, Wow,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's up, it's been there, it's been around a while,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: but they drafted a guy named ebenez Or Ecuban, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Ebenezer Recuban can get around the edge. There's no doubt
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about it. He was going to get around you the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: problem was is what Sometimes he would get around you.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: They would just push him all the way back to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the referee. You know, you think that you're there, you
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: think you're home free. Next thing you know, you get
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: shoved in the back and you can't actually get that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: bend to get around the edge, and he knox you back.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And I think as Iraku and I only the reason
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I bring that up is I always I'm just a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: little bit cautious on that this early in the game
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and just be like, yes, quick, first step, he's got
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that bend, he can get around. Let's see how it
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: happens when when it's you know, full contact and and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the pads are on and these guys have a chance
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to really get their hands on each other. But not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that he's not played football before, not that he's not
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: done it in college, and he was really really productive
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: at Boston College. I think he's an exciting prospect for sure,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Just like with anybody with anything, any position. I'm anxious
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to see it when when the game start, the pads
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: come on. I want to see this one on one
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: drills against the rams. That's what I want to see,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: both sides, offense and defense. Can't wait to see that. Uh,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You're gonna find out a lot about these guys. But
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. And then first part of your
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: question about you know, drinking the kool aid and excited
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: about it. What's really cool is from a national perspective,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: when and I've seen I've seen this happen. When when
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: people show the videos of them and the and the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: warm up lines and the dak on the horse, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the little stick horse whatever, and having fun, it looks
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like they're effing around. But the funny thing is when
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you look at the Shottennhimer, he's not effing around. He's not.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at what happened yesterday at practice. Listen
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to some of that micd Up segment we put on there.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: He's not messing around. He really isn't. And it seems
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: like he is all shooting baskets here and compete every
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: day and all that, but on the field, doing what
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they're doing on the field, they're not messing around. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that's the good part is is he's got a method
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to it. He's having fun, but at the same time
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they're over here busting their ass and he's holding them accountable.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And that's what you've always asked for You've always said,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I want a coach to hold these guys accountable, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's certainly what has happened in here. Let's go to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Michael in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, what's that? How you doing?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I'm doing good? Hey, in and out wit. This is
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: what I got this year. If you're a Cowboys saying
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you gotta be excited region of Boom two Cowboys are playing,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: are gonna play no nonsense, smash mouth football.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Shoty.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I mean he is up here. He's a player's coach.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: During the music then all this, but then he lais
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: a hammer when people are not.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Doing what they're supposed to do exactly.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And I think the defense is gonna be take away,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: take away, take away all season. It's gonna be exciting
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: all year.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: And if you got a.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Fantasy football team, go aha, get pickings and CD on
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: your team, you will not regret. That's all I got.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I will respectfully disagree that part. As
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: far as the having the two, I wouldn't do that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: with anybody having two receivers on the same team. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I say that because I feel like I've had like
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a J. Brown or Davonte Smith or whatever. There's games
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: when that happens. Then there's gonna be games where guy
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: has two catches for ten yards. That's what I'm curious about.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It's all great right now with pickings. What happens when
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: he gets two catches twelve yards? They don't win? How's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that go? You know? And that's the same with any
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: one a one B scenario. But what you're hoping for
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is get that, you know, like you guys are already
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: dealing with that glass half full, is that they're all
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: catching eight, nine, ten passes a game, get a touchdown
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: each and having fun. And I think it can it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: can certainly be that way. But to kind of echo
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: what you're saying, and very similar to what I was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: saying before that just about shot, he's doing a really
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: good job of balancing having fun out here at practice
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: but at the same time having a goal, being serious
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: about and intentional about what they're doing. And it is.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It is definitely showing. So all right, let's go to Mike.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He's a little further away. This this is Birmingham, England.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: What's up, Mike?
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: He nat.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: Good, thank you.
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: It looks like a lot of fun out there, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: it's really good to follow. Michael, one of the most
• 13:09
  Speaker 11: positive Cowboys fans.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'll do my best. The first four, the first four
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: calls here have been I mean, we're just I love it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: We got the pomp pomski out here today. I love it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's great. All right. Are you bringing the same kind
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of sunshine mostly?
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I have got one one question Mark. I'll
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: get to you. First of all, Nick, I haven't been
• 13:32
  Speaker 11: able to listen today so far, but I listened the
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: other day and you've been very modest. You haven't mentioned
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: your award, so congratulations on that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you so much.
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: On the topic of your writing, how are we getting
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: on with If These Wolves Could Talk? Volume two?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not there yet, but I have thought
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: about it. And here's the thing. When I when I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: wrote that book in twenty thirteen, or actually just writing it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: When I was writing it, it was fifteen years of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: working for the Cowboys, fifteen years, so naturally if the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you know one times two is to you know double that,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so I would think fifteen I would go when I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: get to thirty years with the team, if I can
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: if I'm so lucky, maybe that's the time to do that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You know, that's a good volume too. So I'm at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: twenty men, like twenty seven years. This is my twenty
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: seventh season, so we're getting closer to that. So maybe
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm working on another book actually as we speak,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bring that up
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: right now. But yeah, so I am actually working on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: which would be my fifth book. But not easy. Not
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: easy to do when you have kids. Most of the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: books that I've written or before the house got as
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: full as it is. But I'm certainly thankful for that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: But kind of hard to write a book for sure.
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, So a couple of things. Third Brilliant, Absolutely love it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: I love the guy.
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: I think it's a really good deal, no downside. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: you watch this year when we've got CD and Pickings
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: and Colbert buzzing around. You see the space that Third
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: gets now and what he can produce. And I'm really
• 15:25
  Speaker 11: excited to see all four of them on there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Just praying that they.
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: All stay healthy.
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: So the one, you know, slight question mark that I'm
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: going to bring. The Rams are coming in next Tuesday,
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: I think, and I remember last year when the Rams
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: came in. I vividly remember it Nate Newton. I can't
• 15:50
  Speaker 11: remember the exact words to use, but it was basically,
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: oh right, we've got a problem, because as soon as
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: someone else rocked up that was, you know, competing with us,
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: we didn't look so good. And he saw it straight away.
• 16:05
  Speaker 11: So I'm going to be really interested to hear how
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: Nate is talking and how all of you and your
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: colleagues are talking after we've.
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: Seen the.
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: Rams in town. And my other thing is and then
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: I'll get off and the next person in is on
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: social media we've been seeing it looks like a really
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: good vibe in camp. It looks like a lot of
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: good things happening. I'm seeing slightly more kind of on offense,
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: and I don't know if that's just because it's a
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: more positive thing to kind of put out there that
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: everyone wants to see touchdowns, don't they? So how are
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: the defense looking? And one guy in particular, I saw
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: Jay Toyer getting a mention as getting a few reps.
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: How's he looking? Do you think he might be any
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: kind of any kind of answer? And with that, I'll lead.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: You to it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you make the defense has been just as good
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, as the offense. I think it's back
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and forth. I mean, yeah, from what you might see
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: social media eclipse and things like that, because when it
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: goes well, you know, in practice, it is a thirty
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: forty yard catch down the field. When it doesn't go well,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: it's like three defensive linemens swarming the run and they
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: didn't even get to the line of scrimmage. And that's it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And that's not a play that gets posted a lot.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: It's just not kind of boring, but it's a huge
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: play for the defense, So that's part of it. If
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it's not an interception, even the sacks are as Dante
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Faller getting around the edge and touching Dak on the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: back and that's it. I got you, you know what
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I mean. So it's not as exciting of a play,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: but it still doesn't mean the defense isn't being productive.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's been pretty fifty to fifty back and forth.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Jay Toya he got surprisingly, just like a lot of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the guys, he got banged up a little bit. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: don't think it's that serious. Again, really hard to tell
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: where he is and how how well he's doing. Those
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle positions. I mean, everyone goes. Everyone's half speed
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: is different. So he's another one. I know, I keep
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: saying it. But these guys in the trenches, you know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what kind of strength do they really have? What kind
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of playmaking ability do they have in there? So he's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a he's a guy. We'll be watching all right. We're
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: gonna go to break real quick on Cowboys storyline. Be
• 18:26

  Speaker 1: informed about what's going on, right Chris, Right, All right,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: here we go. Let's speaking of Chris. We're gonna go
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to Chris in San Angelo.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Hello, mister Nick, how you doing today, my friend?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. Yes, I can
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: be very quick.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: First of all, I echoed the congratulations on the accolades
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: you got very deserved, sir.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that. Thank you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Not a problem, but I was gonna. I was gonna.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: I was just gonna go with one quick one. How
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: what's your confidence level at the backup quarterback position as
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: far as basically Joe Milton in particular, and my own
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: personal opinion is I think he's gonna be fine. I'm
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: not worried about it. I think once it starts to go,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: he's gonna go in there and do well. I just
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: want to know what you think, sir.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I do not have an answer for you. Chris. I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: don't know because I have no idea what he's going
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to do. I really don't. He is exciting to watch,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: but I think he I think he's one of those
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks that when he's in the game, I think he
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: scares the crap out of the defensive coordinator and the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. At the same time. I think the defensive
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: coordinator would be kind of worried about, Oh my god,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I watch this guy. He takes off and all that,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and I think the offensive coordinator calling the plays is like,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what's gonna happen here. I don't
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: know if he's gonna throw the pass. Even though I've
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: called a pass four times in a row, I don't
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: know if he's gonna throw it. He might just take
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: off and run. And if he does, are they gonna
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: go thirty yards? Forty yards? Is he gonna find I
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what he's gonna do, to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, So.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: But yeah, well that that was exactly what I was
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: gonna kind of say. I didn't want to ramble about it,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: but I will say that I think that based obviously,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: I'm christ, I'm san Angelo. This isn't anything scientific, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: I do believe that once once it comes on, with
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: the ability he has, he's gonna make something happen.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That's just my personal Yeah. Yeah, I mean I would
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I would think so as well, he's gonna make something happen.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: You just kind of, you know. One of my favorite
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows was A Movie's Football Movies
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was was a Varsity Blues when he said, you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I was trying to make a play and he goes,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: yeah for which team? And so I always think about that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I I like him, but he's fun to watch. He
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: brings a lot of energy. I think he's pushing da
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in the you know, in the right direction, because he's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: much more of an athlete. And backflipps and and all
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: these things. Can throw the ball, you know, over those mountains,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He can throw it far,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: but but can he process it? Can he make plays?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find out. He's gonna get a lot of reps.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: He might be Trey Lance. He might be a cheaper
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: version of Trey Lance. I don't know if that's good
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: or bad. Honestly, just don't know what to what to say.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: But I say this, it's a he's a get your
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: popcorn ready type of type of guy. He will be.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He will make the preseason games a lot more fun
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to watch. All right, thanks for the call, Chris. Let's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: go to Irene Falls Church, Virginia.
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: Hey, I guess this morning there?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: When When when am I gonna say Irene from Oxnard, California?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: When is that gonna?
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: So?
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: Yes, we'll be there Sunday, like you said Sunday ones.
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to that Rams practice for sure, but
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: I'm sure we'll.
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: Be there for both.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: So hey, anyway, to be quick, So and you've talked
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: a lot about the shot and her making people run.
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: First thing. I thought it was Rob will be happy,
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: and yes he was, but more than just okay, you
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: can have a hard ass as a coach, and I
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: hope that's okay to say, but it's done anyway, but
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: your players have to buy into it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: See he loved it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to not having fourteen penalty raiders Thanksgiving
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: games or I think fourteen penalties is also. I was
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: reminder last night how we lost the forty nine ers
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: first playoff game, So you know, it's a good sign.
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: Doesn't mean we're gonna win the super Bowl now, but
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: do I hope that means we're at least not going
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: to show ourselves in the foot and give us a
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: good chance to at least stand games and see where
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: it goes from there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, So that's it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: I'll talk to you all right.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It sounds good. Thank you for the for the quick call,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and you know I'm not with penalties it's always it's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: always tough to figure out what that is. And he
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: can do all he wants to, you know, here to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: try to cut down penalties, but a lot of a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: lot of it's on the player. It's just on the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: player at the end of the day, some of these
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: pre snap penalties. And also, are you good enough to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: do your technique right? Is your technique good enough where
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you're not holding where you're not, or if you are,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you're doing it the right way and not getting caught,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you know, things like that. But you know it's it's uh,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I just I just will see. Well, I'm not gonna
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: sit here and say that they're not going to be
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: They're not going to have a lot of penalties. They're
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: going to be much more disciplined. Well, we're about to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: find out. I've just in all my years of covering
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I've never really had a rhyme or reason
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of the teams that get penalized a lot. You know,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: some of the team's very aggressive and and and they
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: go get the ball, they get the turnovers. Does that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: mean they're offside sometimes? Yeah? I mean Marcus Ware got
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: an off side penalty about every other game. Flows Adams
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: got a fall start penalty just about every other game,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: trying to anticipate that snap. If if you produce the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: way DeMarcus Ware and Flows Adams did, you would take that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray and this is not a penalty, but DeMarco
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Murray fumbled I think every game for the first eight
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: games of the season in twenty fourteen fumbled. Didn't lose
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: them all, but did fumble. I think the first eight
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: games of the year. You also had one hundred yards
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: rushing in those games and ended up with eighteen hundred
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: yards and Offensive Player of the year. You take that.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So my point is is you take the aggressions if
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's controlled the right way, and sometimes that might mean penalties.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Just cut out the dumb stuff, line up where you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: need to line up, don't punch the guy in front
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of the referee after the play because you're mad, you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and get a fifteen yard penalty. You know, second and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: two is now second and seventeen. Stuff like that that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you can control, but you know, penalties happened. I hope
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: this is a tough, aggressive team and sometimes with that
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you do get penalized. That's why I'm just I'm not
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: really sure what my stance is there. You just want
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a good, tough football team that can play smart. If
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you got that, then I think I think you can
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: go a long way. Let's go Joe and Stanford. You
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: got in, I got it, I got it all. I'm good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? For those that don't know, Joe
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Man is one of the OG's when it comes to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: this show. When we first started it, he was a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: guy that called all the time. I understand you have
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a different job, different hours, things like that, but I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: do appreciate you calling in when he can.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: No, I got so the specific time frame that you're
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: doing it right now, next up, a little bit of
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: great time I have it works. So of course I'm
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: gonna be upset, upset with the show regardless, but apprecire. Yeah.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: Absolutely Man. First of all, I'm so jealous that all
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: story are coming to Colifornia. I talk about robbers. She's
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: like no, and I'm like, oh, come on, but yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: maybe next year.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm oh, I have a question. You don't you don't
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: run your own household? Yeah? Me either. All right, let's go,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah, I know you right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't control anything at all.
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: Uh So, you know, I'm excited about a kind of things.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: You know, I have a thousand things I weren't talking about.
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: But I watched the Drawn Blade Energy yesterday with the
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: film and I've always spot this way.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: But I mean, he is.
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: The kind of guy that the Trawboys should want to
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: sign to a long term contract. I love that kid.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: I wish every player to be like him.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And let's say Stall got brother I appreciate. Yeah, he's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: he's a He's a really, really good guy. There's no
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. He's one of those players that if
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the PR staff is and careful, he'll say yes to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: every interview request and he'll do it. And you know
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that's one of those things while you can get Deron
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to do it, he won't turn you down. You know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: he's just he's just a good guy. The the contract
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: thing with him is it's interesting. I don't know where
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: where you know where that where they stand right now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: His agent's obviously going to push, you know, a certain angle,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and he's had some great success. You know, this is
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: one where I'm sure they look at the you know,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: PFF rankings and things like that on on where he
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: is you know, with coverage and you know, man coverage,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: zone coverage, down the field, all that, because we see
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the pick sixes from a couple of years ago. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not a lockdown guy. I don't know
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: if there is a cornerback anymore that is that. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: don't think you would call him that. But he's very
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: opportunistic when the ball's in the air. He's a playmaker,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and you want that kind of guy in a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of ways. Now is the price right? And also who
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: stands to to benefit if you wait? If you you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: he's one season removed from a record breaking year. What
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: if they go another year and it's he's not gonna
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: have five pick sixes? What if he has one? What
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: if has none? If he got three four interceptions and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you know, gives up some plays, makes a few plays
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: here and there, good, good, solid year. What's that price
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: tag look like? You know, maybe the Cowboys would benefit
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to wait? Maybe he should wait. That one's a tough one. Uh,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: dron Bland is certainly a guy that you want, Joe,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right about that. This price has got to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: be right, and I think I think they can make
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that work. I really do I think that they will
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: make that work. All right, Lester and Minnesota's next. How
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you doing, I'm going all right, but I get on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: your nerve.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: But I got a.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Go for it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: You guys, we're talking Tuesday about Jerry's comment about not
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: working hard or something.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: Exactly what was said.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: He said, it doesn't feel like he's really worked quote
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: unquote worked in thirty seven years or thirty five years
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: because of how much fun he has doing this job
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and how you know, just how much he's how he
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: feels like it's a privilege for him to have this job,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: so he doesn't feel like it's it's work. That's why.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That's what he was saying, haven't truly worked worked because
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I love what I'm doing. That's basically what he's saying.
• 31:37
  Speaker 13: Oh, okay, well I took it the wrong way. Well
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: I'm still gonna say what or what I plan on saying.
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: So and then I remember you were saying at the
• 31:47
  Speaker 13: end of the caller, I forgot who he was. You
• 31:50
  Speaker 13: were saying, if you haven't won a super Bowl, then
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: you you relate that to someone working if you haven't
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: been the top of your job at which I have twice.
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: It was very hard to do, but I did it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: Two out of three years, I was top. I was
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: a salesperson. I was top salesperson in the whole country,
• 32:11
  Speaker 13: not just in my area, the whole country. So but
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: I think what I want to say.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Is that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: Be in a gym.
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: I've never been to gym.
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: Okay, so, but I'm just saying, when you're building something,
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: and I'm relating it to what I did for those
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: two years, it takes a long strong commitment. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: and I'm not saying jer and not committed, but I'm
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: saying it just takes. It's like it almost takes everything.
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's like you eat, sleep, and breed that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: And I know Jerry has other interests and I'm not
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: saying he doesn't care, and I'm not saying he doesn't
• 32:47
  Speaker 13: do a good job, but I'm just saying to be
• 32:49
  Speaker 13: at the top, and in his case, to win the
• 32:52
  Speaker 13: Super Bowl, it takes everything. You see what I'm saying,
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Takes a guy that yeah, like you said, and he
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: sleep during uh Dallas Cowboys and you know, and I
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: think he's he's right there. I don't know any sleeps,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to be honest, with you. I'm serious, he's he's he's
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: as dedicated as it could be. And and and you
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: know what, good for you And like you said that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: about your job. That my point what I was saying
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: was is I think a lot of people are kind
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: of forget when they say that that he he hasn't
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: done his job in twenty nine years. He hasn't won
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He hasn't been the absolute best the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have it been the absolute best. And that's that's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: what it is. But that's his goal. That's your goal
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: as a fan, that's everyone's goal. So there's nothing wrong
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: with that. That that is that is cool because there's
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: there's teams out there that maybe you know, they put
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: banners up for winning the division. We go to places
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and we see hey, AFC South Division champs, like awesome, cool,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that's the goal. That's the goal. But Jerry's over here
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: getting criticized because the team hasn't won the Super Bowl,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: has had doesn't have a six trophy. What a great standard.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And you know what, he'll take it. He'll take it
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: all day, he really will. All right, all right, appreciate it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: But you got anything.
• 34:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I also think you know, we as fans. Man
• 34:19
  Speaker 13: will take at this point, will take being in the
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: NFC Championship. That's not the super Bowl, but we will
• 34:25
  Speaker 13: take that. I mean it would be awesome. I mean
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: that would be like a step Yeah. All right, all right, oh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: I got the call. Appreciate that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to our next caller. My man,

  Speaker 13: Man.

• 36:11
  Speaker 1: was your guy. That hurts you. So who's your guy? Now? Though?
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Who is your guy? We all move on from fans.

  Speaker 13: Me?
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Who's me? All right? And you throw it? And so
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: when you're out there playing, I mean, are you throwing
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to the other kids? You just throw your brother?

  Speaker 5: I mean I give everybody you.
• 36:51

  Speaker 4: I mean I wish we could do that?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Rules all right? All right? Love it. So, So the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: question is about duo of Pickens and C. D. Lamb.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I will answer that. You guys, Uh, I'm gonna keep
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the line moving now, you guys have a great summer.

  Speaker 12: Back to Cowboys Storylinus.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the show. Here, got a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: few more minutes. We got time for at least one
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: more caller. It was really cool. I got to to
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: talk to my two nephews there, Aryah and Jeremiah, both
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: from Stanford, Texas. Stanford Texas is about our outside of Abilene.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: It's it. I'm not sure on the on the population,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I would say two five hundred. I mean, like a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: decent percentage of it has called this show today. So
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: that's really cool and kind of lost in the shuffle there.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I forgot to mention, but first time callers obviously for
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: for both of them. So here we go for for them,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: all right. And their question was about the duo between
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: CD and Pickens, and man, I think I think it's
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: pretty dynamic. You hope that they they I'm not saying
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: get along, but you hope that they kind of understand that.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be hard. It's gonna be hard
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: for both of them to get the football and all
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the time and for their stats to be great. But
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be dangerous for defenses to
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: try to stop both of them. You can't stop CD
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: with one guy, I mean, he is not getting a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: lot of double teams. Pickens I don't think. I don't
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: think that many guys can stop him as well. So
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: we are gonna double both of them. I mean That's
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: why they signed Jake Ferguson to a big contract because
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: he could have a monster season this year. And also
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run the football as well. So
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Something's got to give you.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Double team those guys. Ferguson makes a lot of catches,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Jaalen Tolbert makes catches. You run the ball. Now you
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: start to change up a little bit. Now George Pickens
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: is going deep. I just think the threat of both
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of them is going to make the entire offense better.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next caller, Jeremy from
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City.
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: Hey, what's that Nick?
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: I'll try to be quick here.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Thank you good.
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I just wanted to kind of talk a little
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: bit on what Lester was talking about a couple of
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: minutes ago.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, and your point about if.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: You haven't been best in the world, it's something you
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: really don't have any room to criticize, which is basically
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: what you were saying, right, And I think like those
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: three years when we were twelve old.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no, let me let me let
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: me clarify on that one. If your argument to Jerry
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: is that is that you haven't you haven't. Like it
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: was basically like he hasn't done his job. He hasn't
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: done his job in twenty nine years. And that's when
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I kind of came back on, like, you can criticize
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and criticize of how it's done and the process and
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: maybe why they haven't won it and they haven't changed
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: things up and their philosophy has been the same. You
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: have some things to criticize, There's no doubt about it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying if the standard of you haven't done
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: your job because of that, then then let's be careful
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: on what we're saying about everybody else and their standard,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you know, because of the same. Now I hope you,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I hope you hold yourself to the higher standard if
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: that's how you're holding Jerry. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: Absolutely I agree wholeheardly with that. And to back that up,
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: are those two years we went twelve and four the
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: reason we lost in the playoffs?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: I will say, and I've said this before on the
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: forum too on Twitter, when we get it's never been
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: roster issues while we lost those games, you know what
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: I mean? They were teams that First of all, we
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: had we we had a home field against the Niners
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: that we blew that one right, right, And then then
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: there's another one in twenty twenty three where we were
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: second seed in the whole NFC and we didn't show
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: up to play there. Those aren't roster issues, Those aren't
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: Jerry issues. Those, in my opinion, were coaching staff issues
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: and having your team ready to play and having the
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: right mindset throughout the year. So I just kind of
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: leave with that anyway. Yeah, I see what you think about.
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: Do you agree with that?
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Agree? I mean, you know, you put the roster together,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you do everything you gotta do, and at some point
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: you know you gotta go. I mean, it's it's it's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: just like with any chef. I gave you the ingredients,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I gave you everything, and now you have to put
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it together and you have to put it together and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and hopefully you know it's it it tastes good, you know,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and but that's that's kind of what it is. And
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: so you're you're right now, I'm not saying that they
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: don't get some of the blame. And because you know,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: some of those years, what about the other years when
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: they haven't gotten that far and sometimes it is. But
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: but this team has been good enough in the last
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: thirty years to go to the Super Bowl. They haven't
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and there's different reasons for that. Some of it on
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: how its structured, some of it on how they performed,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: some of it on the coaching, all of it. For
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: whatever the reason, it just hasn't been perfect for those
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: thirty years. But that's that's again, that's the goal. Thank
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: you Jeremy for the call. Good stuff. Let's go one
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: more caller, Eric and Amarillo. Eric, what's up man?
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: A long time?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you. You get in yep, yes, all.
• 43:56
  Speaker 15: Just real quick. I've really enjoyed, uh the shottenheimmer. I
• 44:01
  Speaker 15: think he's just so knowledgeable.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: He is. He is like his dad was a great coach,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and he has just been around and he just was
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: like a sponge for his whole life. It's almost something
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 44:11
  Speaker 15: Oh it's not a got a doubt. I mean, you
• 44:14
  Speaker 15: listen to him, it's just knowledge just comes out everywhere,
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: and you can tell he knows what he's talking about,
• 44:21
  Speaker 15: you know, and it's easy to you know, with MacCarthy,
• 44:25
  Speaker 15: you know, I've just never heard that from him. Last
• 44:28
  Speaker 15: year I don't know if it's because he's not as
• 44:29
  Speaker 15: transparent and he didn't want to say as much, but
• 44:32
  Speaker 15: I mean, just the knowledge that comes out of Shottenheimer
• 44:35
  Speaker 15: is just, uh, it's just yeah, uh, I think we're
• 44:39
  Speaker 15: going to be in good hands.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I do too. I do too. Now he's got to be.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of really, really great people in the
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: world that can't coach football, you know. I mean, you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: could be one of them. But but what I'm saying
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: is is that it's obviously more than this. But from
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what I see so far, man, it just seems it's exciting.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: It's a exciting to watch for sure.
• 45:01
  Speaker 15: Oh is it definitely seems like the most the moved
• 45:06
  Speaker 15: there and practice is completely different.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 45:10
  Speaker 15: Last thing I was gonna say, were you surprised that
• 45:12
  Speaker 15: Perguson got a long term deal? I really thought they
• 45:15
  Speaker 15: would let him go like that did Schultz and just
• 45:17
  Speaker 15: bring in another young tight end. Did it surprise you
• 45:20
  Speaker 15: that he got a little contract a little and then
• 45:23
  Speaker 15: I'll hang out?
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Eric, I
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: appreciate that good good stuff, and yeah it did. It
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: did surprise me a little bit, and it was one
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: of those deals that I think if he would have waited, uh,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: he could have you know, he could have maybe had
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: gotten more money depending on what kind of season. But
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: but I think they they anticipate him having a really
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: really big year, and so you know, the timing was
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: right for it. I mean, uh, he was coming off
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: a year it wasn't that great for him, injured a
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: little bit. But they they their anticipation for him is
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to have a really really big season and they didn't
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: want to fight that battle, you know, afterwards and so
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: and Stephen Jones said it. You know, it's all about deadlines,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: it really is. This is the last year of his deal,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of a priority then. You know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: the deadline is closer than it is for Micah. And
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: obviously it's a different neighborhood of money. But you know,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: they Michael's not going anywhere. This is last year of
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the deal. They will franchise him. He is not going anywhere.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: They can franchise him two years in a row. So
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna go anywhere. But the Ferguson they felt
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: like this was the time to strike, and that's what
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: they did. All right, guys, great great show, a lot
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: of fun, got some fun callers. My favorites, I'm not
