- 0:04Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:05Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:07Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:14Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman.
- 0:26Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, May the seventh Man. We have some
- 0:30Speaker 1: news already breaking. Happened late late last night early this morning,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and it all got solidified here. The Cowboys have traded
- 0:38Speaker 1: for George Pickens, wide receiver from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Give
- 0:43Speaker 1: up a third round pick next year, and it's what
- 0:46Speaker 1: third year in a row they've given up a future pick.
- 0:50Speaker 1: This will probably be the player that makes the biggest
- 0:53Speaker 1: impact of that group, Let's hope. So at least the
- 0:56Speaker 1: bar is kind of low there with Trey Lanceon and Mingo.
- 0:58Speaker 1: But third pick next year. Cowboys also swap picks in
- 1:02Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, some late round picks fifth and a six.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Cowboys will get a six and twenty twenty seven. Uh
- 1:08Speaker 1: swap for the fifth round pick for Pittsburgh. But the
- 1:10Speaker 1: big part of it is a third round pick next
- 1:13Speaker 1: year for George Pickens, who's got one year left on
- 1:15Speaker 1: his deal. Still though he's a highly productive player. Stretches
- 1:19Speaker 1: the field, a big time deep ball threat, and uh,
- 1:24Speaker 1: you know he's got some he's got some other I wouldn't.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I don't know if baggage is the right word, but
- 1:29Speaker 1: I you know, because I don't know much of the player,
- 1:30Speaker 1: but I do know that he's he's been in the
- 1:33Speaker 1: headlines a lot, He's clashed some with his teammates and coaches.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Sounds like a wide receiver honestly to me, uh, and
- 1:42Speaker 1: a really good one. So we'll see how he fits
- 1:45Speaker 1: with the Cowboys here and see what you guys think
- 1:47Speaker 1: about it. Eight A eight eight five five to two
- 1:49Speaker 1: ninety seven. Let'sn't waste any more time. Let's go to
- 1:51Speaker 1: the calls Anthony and Miami's first. What's up, Anthony?
- 1:55Speaker 4: Nick to quick? What's up, my guy?
- 1:56Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 1:58Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good man?
- 2:00Speaker 5: All night.
- 2:00Speaker 4: I just did it. I just saw the Pickings thing.
- 2:02Speaker 4: I had did a little security detail real quick for
- 2:05Speaker 4: so long watching it, so I decided to talk about
- 2:09Speaker 4: that and the draft since I didn't do it last time.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I was doing storyliners, and I'm doing it in the poem.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Mack do it in the poem.
- 2:18Speaker 1: That just about? Are we talking George Pickens here?
- 2:23Speaker 4: We're talking pickings and a little bit of a and
- 2:26Speaker 4: a little bit of a draft at least three of them.
- 2:29Speaker 1: All right, right, yeah, yeah, we're ready, man, We're ready.
- 2:33Speaker 4: All right, let's do it. Change the place, baby, hurry. Well, well,
- 2:37Speaker 4: we traded for pickings a possible great number two receiver.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Only time would tell if he's a coaching votcher or
- 2:45Speaker 4: make such a true believer. Yes, we drafted another first
- 2:48Speaker 4: round offensive lineman, and Tyler is his name. He's smart, positive, energetic,
- 2:54Speaker 4: and wants to take the tackles, love for the game
- 2:57Speaker 4: with as a rock who on one side, Michael on
- 3:00Speaker 4: the other opposing QB's better beware and take cover if
- 3:05Speaker 4: he makes a full recovery three from his injured knee.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Chavon revealed may be our future starting dB. Jaden Blue
- 3:14Speaker 4: is an exposed to fast RB and it's a past
- 3:17Speaker 4: catching threat. If he breaks one to the outside, he's
- 3:21Speaker 4: going bye bye at this. You can bet long shots
- 3:24Speaker 4: Toyo and Holden. They might make a little noise. And
- 3:27Speaker 4: that's how I feel about our off season Cowboys.
- 3:31Speaker 1: All right, Anthony, all right.

- 4:38Speaker 1: got to get I gotta get my mug which I
- 4:40Speaker 1: forgot to bring here the Yettie mug for the all
- 4:43Speaker 1: storyline team members. Michael made it. He was on, he
- 4:47Speaker 1: was destined for first team. But then you know, like
- 4:49Speaker 1: you said, he had work, work duty and he couldn't
- 4:54Speaker 1: call in as much or or for a while. It
- 4:58Speaker 1: took it took a while to hear from him. But
- 5:00Speaker 1: that's okay. Still made the team. Still a listening, which
- 5:03Speaker 1: is the most important thing. We really appreciate that for sure.
- 5:06Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. Let's see if
- 5:08Speaker 1: somebody wants to talk about the trade. Sebastian and Savannah Georgia. Sebastian,
- 5:12Speaker 1: what's up man?
- 5:14Speaker 7: What's going on there? Mister even how you doing good?
- 5:16Speaker 1: How are you?
- 5:17Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 5:18Speaker 7: So, first off, hell to the Yes, I love it. Second,
- 5:22Speaker 7: thank you Antonio Brown for being such a headache to
- 5:25Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh that they're not willing to deal with another one.
- 5:29Speaker 7: I like what they did here. First off, because you know,
- 5:32Speaker 7: we were all up in arms. I wanted the corner.
- 5:34Speaker 7: We got the corner. I wanted the receiver. We went
- 5:36Speaker 7: and got the receiver, but a known commodity, the Reggie
- 5:39Speaker 7: Wayne to our Marvin Harrison on our team. Because I
- 5:42Speaker 7: do feel like CD's a better guy because a legit
- 5:45Speaker 7: receiving threats. That's beautiful. Miss Yeah, I'm sitting here. I'm
- 5:50Speaker 7: sitting here like, hey, Katy Perry and Gail King must
- 5:53Speaker 7: have brought back some aliens from out of space, because
- 5:54Speaker 7: I don't recognize my front office right now.
- 5:56Speaker 4: What's going on.
- 5:57Speaker 7: We're making off seven move. I'm having a great day.
- 6:01Speaker 7: I was having an okay day, and I'm having a
- 6:03Speaker 7: great day.
- 6:04Speaker 4: I love that pickup.
- 6:06Speaker 7: Jerry Jones said, soft, rebuild my behind. We're trying to
- 6:09Speaker 7: win now, and I like it giving Brian everything has
- 6:12Speaker 7: But like I was saying online, I hope this is
- 6:15Speaker 7: the start of a Hall of fame coaching career for
- 6:18Speaker 7: Brian Schottenheimer. I like that guy.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Yeah, when he speaks, you sit up and you lean forward.
- 6:24Speaker 7: You're like, I believe in this guy, and I can
- 6:27Speaker 7: see what they saw in him to hire him. I
- 6:29Speaker 7: just hope it translates to the field. But I'm gonna
- 6:30Speaker 7: let you go. Then a lot of people want to
- 6:32Speaker 7: get through. You have a great day.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Thanks, Sebastian. You're right. Everything you said is right, And
- 6:36Speaker 1: then I hope we all hope it translates to the
- 6:39Speaker 1: field because I mean, let's be honest. Whatever you think
- 6:42Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett, now remember what the feelings were about
- 6:48Speaker 1: him in twenty eleven. This is everyone's favorite backup quarterback.
- 6:52Speaker 1: What a great story. Nineteen ninety four Thanksgiving game. You know,
- 6:56Speaker 1: everyone loves Garrett's he won some games. Come in as
- 7:00Speaker 1: an interim coach, that one in seventeen, they go five
- 7:03Speaker 1: and three down the stretch, win some games. You know,
- 7:05Speaker 1: he's the head coach, all the excitement, and then whatever
- 7:09Speaker 1: you think about him now just remember him. He went
- 7:11Speaker 1: eight and eight three years in a row. So he
- 7:13Speaker 1: has to win and everyone knows that. Nobody knows that
- 7:15Speaker 1: more than than Brian Schottenheimer, who's been around for a
- 7:18Speaker 1: long time. Is that he dealt with it when he
- 7:20Speaker 1: was a young kid with his dad, so he understands
- 7:22Speaker 1: the process. He's doing what he can to do that. Yes,
- 7:25Speaker 1: culture is a big deal, There's no doubt about it.
- 7:28Speaker 1: We heard it several times through the draft. But you know,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and I was talking upstairs with Derek Kiltson just now
- 7:35Speaker 1: about the same thing. This is why you bring in
- 7:37Speaker 1: culture so you can and we're not saying that he's
- 7:40Speaker 1: a bad guy. Whatever it is. We'll find out. You know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: there's been players that have come here with needing a
- 7:47Speaker 1: fresh start, needing a second chance. Charles Haley that you
- 7:51Speaker 1: know that that have come in and we're great players
- 7:54Speaker 1: and then got even better with the culture around it.
- 7:57Speaker 1: That's why you build the culture that you have. I
- 7:58Speaker 1: think he's excited to be here, get a fresh start.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I think CD is excited, and I'm sure Dak Prescott
- 8:04Speaker 1: is excited about it as well. We'll talk a little
- 8:06Speaker 1: bit more about what he brings to the to the offense,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you know, later in the show. All right, Brian in
- 8:13Speaker 1: Kansas City?
- 8:14Speaker 4: Is next?
- 8:14Speaker 1: Brian? What's up? Brian? Are you there?
- 8:19Speaker 8: Is it?
- 8:19Speaker 1: Ali? Is that next? Ali? Sorry? Is not that in there?
- 8:22Speaker 1: Ali in Florida? What's up?
- 8:24Speaker 9: Good morning, Sarah?
- 8:25Speaker 1: How are you pretty good?
- 8:27Speaker 4: Buddy?
- 8:27Speaker 9: Miss you miss the storyliners? Thank you very much for
- 8:33Speaker 9: putting my name to them. Storyline team. I'm like ugly
- 8:38Speaker 9: duckling of the program.
- 8:40Speaker 4: But I get there.
- 8:42Speaker 9: First, I want to shout out I just got home Sunday,
- 8:46Speaker 9: and shout out to Randy. I didn't know. I hope
- 8:49Speaker 9: he's doing better.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Second, I want.
- 8:52Speaker 9: To beat every mother's a happy, happy mother's day and
- 8:56Speaker 9: just tell them that for every charge they give birth,
- 8:59Speaker 9: God give him fifty cleared the sin for So it's
- 9:04Speaker 9: just like it's a good record to have, thank you
- 9:09Speaker 9: for with his frame. It was an awesome presentation and
- 9:13Speaker 9: I'm so happy to see him smile. And as part
- 9:17Speaker 9: as the pick in his concern, I think it's worth
- 9:21Speaker 9: the shot. And if Cowboys finished in a maybe first
- 9:26Speaker 9: round of playoff, at least they get a very very
- 9:28Speaker 9: low draft pick to Pittsburgh or maybe third round. It
- 9:32Speaker 9: could be the fourth round, but I think it's a
- 9:34Speaker 9: great pick. Hopefully Cowboys have enough start to makes you
- 9:39Speaker 9: keep them in line. And that's all I have. Love you, brother,
- 9:43Speaker 9: miss you, Thanks and thank you for everything.
- 9:46Speaker 1: All right, thanks, I appreciate that a lot packed into
- 9:49Speaker 1: that call. It hadn't heard from you in a while. Yes,
- 9:52Speaker 1: we we thank you for providing that photo we could
- 9:56Speaker 1: give to Darren Woodson. He loved it by the way,
- 9:58Speaker 1: took it with him and uh, you know, great stuff.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I'd like to think we'll have And we're hoping for
- 10:06Speaker 1: an update today from uh from Randy himself. Hopefully he
- 10:11Speaker 1: can call in. Uh, we'd love to hear from him.
- 10:15Speaker 1: We've heard a little bit. My mom has actually talked
- 10:18Speaker 1: to Randy. My mom lives in Texarcana as well. My
- 10:21Speaker 1: mom actually talked to Randy on the phone and and
- 10:24Speaker 1: gave a report that he's doing really well. So yeah,
- 10:27Speaker 1: I got that from my mom who called in, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 1: to x Or. Cannon is still kind of small town.
- 10:32Speaker 1: You can get people's numbers, so she was able to
- 10:35Speaker 1: do that talk to him. Every everything is I'm not
- 10:39Speaker 1: saying everything is great, but I think that he's in
- 10:42Speaker 1: recovery and doing well, and he's he's excited about uh,
- 10:45Speaker 1: where things are going to go from here. But but
- 10:47Speaker 1: still I'd like to hear from him to tell that
- 10:51Speaker 1: hopefully we can do that soon. All right, guys, they
- 10:55Speaker 1: did trade for a wide receiver today, George Pickens, So
- 10:59Speaker 1: that's I know, some people have sort of talked about it.
- 11:02Speaker 1: There's a lot, a lot to be packed into this show.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's been it's been an early morning for for a
- 11:09Speaker 1: lot of us, just trying to get this thing done
- 11:11Speaker 1: and read up on this guy and figure out what
- 11:14Speaker 1: what kind of player in person that the Cowboys are getting.
- 11:17Speaker 1: But still, overall, I think it's exciting, uh at least
- 11:19Speaker 1: said it worth the shot Yeah, it's worth the shot.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you want to You want to win.
- 11:23Speaker 1: You want to win games. So I'm not gonna say
- 11:26Speaker 1: all in or whatever, but you want to go out
- 11:29Speaker 1: there and and win. I think this was of all
- 11:32Speaker 1: the receivers that were being mentioned of guys possibly they
- 11:35Speaker 1: could trade for, this was by far the best of
- 11:37Speaker 1: the group. But it's just that do you want to
- 11:39Speaker 1: deal with it? Is he good enough to deal with
- 11:41Speaker 1: that kind of stuff?
- 11:42Speaker 10: Uh?
- 11:43Speaker 1: And we'll see, and we'll see what kind of stuff
- 11:45Speaker 1: that really is. I don't want I don't want to
- 11:47Speaker 1: paint the picture of a guy. You know. It sounds
- 11:49Speaker 1: like he's the guy that when he doesn't get the football,
- 11:51Speaker 1: he gets frustrated. Oh yeah, those guys. Yeah, Like I
- 11:56Speaker 1: said before, that's called wide receiver and and and how
- 11:59Speaker 1: you can does Bryant was the same way Antonio Briant
- 12:03Speaker 1: was the same way Michael Livers CD is the same way.
- 12:05Speaker 1: My god, CD walks up and down to the sideline.
- 12:08Speaker 1: You know, when he gets upset frustrated about things. He
- 12:10Speaker 1: wants the ball. Great players want the football. Figure out
- 12:13Speaker 1: a way to get him the football. And you know,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I think I think it's a It's a great move
- 12:17Speaker 1: because now you've got two receivers. You see other teams
- 12:21Speaker 1: in the league that have two receivers, Philadelphia being one
- 12:24Speaker 1: of them. I mean, aj Aj Brown DeVante Smith are
- 12:27Speaker 1: really really good players, and that opens up a running game.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Barkley's amazing. But but I mean two thousand yards. I
- 12:33Speaker 1: think it's it's been opened up by great wide receivers.
- 12:36Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Cowboys will have a two thousand
- 12:37Speaker 1: yard rusher, but I am saying that it's going to
- 12:40Speaker 1: be hard to cover a lot of great weapons, especially
- 12:42Speaker 1: one like Pickings, who constructs the field. All right, let's
- 12:45Speaker 1: go to Brian in Kansas City. Good morning, sir, Hey Brian,
- 12:48Speaker 1: how are you doing.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Man?
- 12:50Speaker 11: I'm doing great. Glad to hear a good news about Randy.
- 12:54Speaker 11: And just thinking as you were saying that what a
- 12:57Speaker 11: family show we have. Your mom called one of our
- 13:01Speaker 11: sick listeners. I mean, what more of a family show
- 13:04Speaker 11: could there possibly be true?
- 13:06Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I was proud of that. She said,
- 13:08Speaker 1: guess what I talked to today? And I was like,
- 13:12Speaker 1: Kenny Gant, I mean, I don't know, you know what
- 13:15Speaker 1: at Randy. So that's pretty awesome.
- 13:17Speaker 11: Yeah, man, Well, I'm excited about the trade.
- 13:20Speaker 5: Man.
- 13:20Speaker 11: That's the first thing I saw when I got up
- 13:22Speaker 11: today and this was a little post by Kavanaugh talking
- 13:28Speaker 11: about the trade, and I was just so excited. This
- 13:32Speaker 11: is the last thing out of all the things that
- 13:38Speaker 11: I had hoped for in this off season is you know,
- 13:42Speaker 11: and everybody, not just me, you know, everybody knew when
- 13:45Speaker 11: we were going into the draft, like, wow, did we
- 13:47Speaker 11: really just go through the draft and not get a
- 13:49Speaker 11: wide receiver? But you know, everybody knew we needed a
- 13:52Speaker 11: running back, we needed a one tech, we needed a
- 13:55Speaker 11: wide receiver. You know, everybody knows a corner, you know,
- 13:59Speaker 11: And this was the last one. This is the last
- 14:01Speaker 11: position where I thought, boy, we we can't go forward
- 14:05Speaker 11: without some help. And this that that just seeing that
- 14:10Speaker 11: made was exciting. And you know, the thing that tells
- 14:13Speaker 11: it tells you what they think about Mingo though, because
- 14:16Speaker 11: you know they they made that move last year. You know,
- 14:19Speaker 11: you take your shot, right, it is what it is.
- 14:22Speaker 11: You took your shot. Doesn't sound like they think it's
- 14:25Speaker 11: a promising shot. And this, this hopefully will make the
- 14:29Speaker 11: big make a big difference. Is I'm now hoping if
- 14:34Speaker 11: we get twenty three Ferguson instead of twenty four. Ferguson,
- 14:39Speaker 11: I think we've got a really legitimate shot at being
- 14:43Speaker 11: back in the top ten offense. Yeah, you know, firing
- 14:47Speaker 11: on all cylinders. Anyway, That's all I.
- 14:49Speaker 12: Got to say.
- 14:49Speaker 11: And I'm sure everybody else wants to call it in
- 14:51Speaker 11: talk about it.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see. Thanks for the call, Brian. Yeah,
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's been an interesting morning for sure. Love And you know,
- 14:59Speaker 1: this is this what happens when we do a show
- 15:01Speaker 1: once a week. I mean, that's I would like to
- 15:04Speaker 1: do more shows.
- 15:05Speaker 10: Now.
- 15:05Speaker 1: You try to do a show once a week, you
- 15:06Speaker 1: feel like you got to go in and if you're
- 15:08Speaker 1: writing a poem, you got to throw that in there.
- 15:10Speaker 1: You got to do shout out to Randy, which I
- 15:11Speaker 1: one hundred percent support that. But I mean it's one
- 15:15Speaker 1: of those things. There's a lot, there's a lot going on,
- 15:17Speaker 1: a lot of people have things to say. I understand them.
- 15:19Speaker 1: This is just so happens. This is a big happened
- 15:21Speaker 1: on a big day. Got to balance all that. So
- 15:25Speaker 1: as for you said, you said talked about Jake Ferguson
- 15:30Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty three Ferguson, Well, you know that year
- 15:36Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks really was was kind of coming into his
- 15:38Speaker 1: own there as the season went on with CD. Both
- 15:42Speaker 1: of them and were two dynamic players. And then and
- 15:45Speaker 1: then I think the guy that was benefiting the most
- 15:47Speaker 1: was Ferguson. So that's that's the type I'm not saying Cooks.
- 15:52Speaker 1: I mean, he could stretch the field. They didn't always
- 15:54Speaker 1: utilize him the best way. But this guy, you know,
- 15:56Speaker 1: he needs that's the biggest thing. Like you see all
- 16:00Speaker 1: of these these stats for pickings. He led the NFL
- 16:04Speaker 1: in yards per per catch over eighteen yards in twenty
- 16:07Speaker 1: twenty three. He was the only player in the NFL
- 16:10Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three with two touchdowns in a game
- 16:14Speaker 1: of sixty six yards or more. I mean, and he
- 16:17Speaker 1: had the longest of it with an eighty three and
- 16:19Speaker 1: then he also had sixty six same game. So that's
- 16:23Speaker 1: and I know they didn't have CD on the other side.
- 16:25Speaker 1: So the Cowboys have got a guy that can stretch
- 16:28Speaker 1: the field. That's one thing they got to make sure
- 16:30Speaker 1: and do is utilize him the right way. I'm sure
- 16:33Speaker 1: they will, but that's you know, he's he's a playmaker,
- 16:38Speaker 1: and it's not just deep ball down the field. I mean,
- 16:41Speaker 1: it's it's a run after catch guy as well. So
- 16:44Speaker 1: to your answer your question about Ferguson, I mean, there's
- 16:47Speaker 1: there's no more excuses on that. I mean, you've got
- 16:50Speaker 1: two dynamic type players on the outside, and you know
- 16:53Speaker 1: he's got to stay healthy. But if they can get
- 16:55Speaker 1: a good running game, two dynamic players, I mean, that's
- 16:58Speaker 1: where you're tied. End really should should be great. That's
- 17:00Speaker 1: what it was back in the nineties. Alvin Harper was
- 17:03Speaker 1: that type of guy. To Michael Irvan. Of course, they
- 17:05Speaker 1: had Emmett and then j Novichik sat there and and
- 17:07Speaker 1: and and ate up the defenses all day long. So
- 17:10Speaker 1: you'd like to have something like that if if possible.
- 17:13Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Robbie Koco Beach, Florida. Robbie,
- 17:17Speaker 1: what's up?
- 17:18Speaker 5: What's up?
- 17:18Speaker 13: Nick?
- 17:18Speaker 4: What do you think of the pick?
- 17:19Speaker 1: I like it? I like it a lot.
- 17:21Speaker 10: I like it.
- 17:22Speaker 14: I like it a lot. I My only concern's concern
- 17:25Speaker 14: first and bad. Okay, So the kid kind of a
- 17:28Speaker 14: dumb ass, right.
- 17:30Speaker 1: You said that. I'm not saying I don't know. I
- 17:32Speaker 1: don't know. I never met him, and I don't think
- 17:34Speaker 1: you have either.
- 17:35Speaker 14: So no, we're going off in the way the media
- 17:39Speaker 14: and that's the way the team's.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Definitely not going to say that about the guy. I
- 17:43Speaker 1: don't know. I think he's a badass. That's what I
- 17:45Speaker 1: think as well. So that's that's what I think we
- 17:49Speaker 1: need to focus on. You know, it sounds like when
- 17:52Speaker 1: he when he doesn't get the football, he gets frustrated.
- 17:55Speaker 8: You know.
- 17:55Speaker 14: He's also isn't that all wide receivers?
- 17:57Speaker 1: It is?
- 17:58Speaker 14: It is any good wide receiver ways at least?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Yes, And it's also old. Let me say this, twenty one,
- 18:03Speaker 1: two and twenty three years old. That's that's how he's
- 18:06Speaker 1: been in those three years. Uh, we have go ahead,
- 18:11Speaker 1: go ahead, rob, go ahead.
- 18:13Speaker 14: And he's twenty four years old, man, and he's young
- 18:16Speaker 14: still in his first contract with three and a half million.
- 18:18Speaker 14: Oh my god. If things work out and we can
- 18:20Speaker 14: get him on the straight and narrow him and see
- 18:22Speaker 14: he could be together for next five six years.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to resign him, obviously, have to re
- 18:27Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, but yeah, I mean I I like it.
- 18:32Speaker 1: If it, if it, if it works out, and and
- 18:35Speaker 1: you know, don't sit here and tell us that Dak
- 18:37Speaker 1: Prescott is this great leader and all these other guys
- 18:40Speaker 1: around him are great leaders and all this culture if
- 18:43Speaker 1: you can't bring a guy like and that's what it's for,
- 18:45Speaker 1: it's for, you know, I agree, a great leader lead
- 18:49Speaker 1: and that's that's I think that you know, we'll be
- 18:52Speaker 1: able to do that. And also what I was trying
- 18:54Speaker 1: to say is is that it's not just wide receivers,
- 18:56Speaker 1: it's young people in general that they want what they
- 18:59Speaker 1: want that now, you know, no one has a lot
- 19:02Speaker 1: of patience. I get that. And it's not just for
- 19:05Speaker 1: wide receivers. For people that that we work in the
- 19:07Speaker 1: office twenty one three years old, they want everything. There's
- 19:11Speaker 1: a level of maturity that all players need, all people
- 19:14Speaker 1: need to figure out. So hopefully that that will happen
- 19:16Speaker 1: with him. I'm not going to sit here and label
- 19:18Speaker 1: him as a as anything other than what I see
- 19:21Speaker 1: on stats, and the stats that I see is that
- 19:23Speaker 1: he's a really great player that can produce. Yes, he's
- 19:27Speaker 1: got a channel some things, but don't we all you know.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Yeah, we all do.
- 19:31Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 19:32Speaker 14: I mean look at guys Bryant when he first came
- 19:34Speaker 14: to the Cowboys, when he when he left the Cowboys,
- 19:36Speaker 14: I mean when he left the Cowboys, but when he
- 19:39Speaker 14: was on the field. When he was on the field,
- 19:42Speaker 14: he was as we succorded to what we saw. He
- 19:45Speaker 14: didn't seem like he was a locker room destruction because
- 19:47Speaker 14: he was like Michael ever won the ball, was loud
- 19:49Speaker 14: about it one day.
- 19:51Speaker 1: One day he did disrupt the locker room pretty good.
- 19:53Speaker 1: But you you've seen it, fix this rich you've seen it. Yeah, yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 1: But the thing about it is, oh yeah, is he
- 20:03Speaker 1: worth it? Is this player or all the headaches and
- 20:07Speaker 1: if they're squeeze Yeah, I didn't know we had to drop.
- 20:14Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, he can be disruptive. But I mean,
- 20:19Speaker 1: but here, here's another thing. You have another I'll have
- 20:23Speaker 1: another dead story about that. But do you have anything else, Robbie.
- 20:26Speaker 14: No, Man, I just wanted to say that I'm man set.
- 20:30Speaker 14: He's got me wanting to drink the kool aid again
- 20:32Speaker 14: this year. Man. The whole culture and all this stuff
- 20:35Speaker 14: and putting piece into places. I'm getting hopeful again they
- 20:38Speaker 14: could scared men. All right, Well, that's good and I
- 20:40Speaker 14: hope it works out.
- 20:41Speaker 1: It's called being a fan.
- 20:43Speaker 14: We'll see like every day.
- 20:45Speaker 1: All right, love you guys, Thanks sir, all right bye?
- 20:49Speaker 1: All right, I lost my train of thought there. Oh,
- 20:55Speaker 1: Dad Bryant story. Well, the thing, well, the thing about that,
- 20:57Speaker 1: it's not really a story, it's just the way the
- 20:59Speaker 1: way that is his attitude, the what he brought to
- 21:04Speaker 1: the team, the feistiness. I mean, he would he would
- 21:07Speaker 1: always raise the level of intensity of the entire practice
- 21:11Speaker 1: just because he was so competitive. And I don't I
- 21:13Speaker 1: don't know if if Pickens is that type of guy.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him. I just know that
- 21:19Speaker 1: that I if you're you know, highly competitive, and you
- 21:22Speaker 1: want the ball, you want to make plays. It doesn't
- 21:25Speaker 1: matter if it's Sunday night with the lights coming on.
- 21:27Speaker 1: It can be on a Wednesday morning practice in Oxnar
- 21:30Speaker 1: or out here at the Star and whatever that does
- 21:34Speaker 1: to to raise the intensity of the defensive backs. Now
- 21:36Speaker 1: they're tired of hearing it so now that they want
- 21:38Speaker 1: to stop him. Next thing, you know, you know, you've
- 21:40Speaker 1: got to make sure you don't get fights in practice,
- 21:42Speaker 1: But the next thing, you know, you're having a really
- 21:44Speaker 1: spirited practice. That is what Dez Bryant brought to the table.
- 21:47Speaker 1: And if a guy like like Pickens can do that
- 21:50Speaker 1: as well, and he brings emotion to the field, and
- 21:52Speaker 1: that that makes you have really good practices, then then
- 21:55Speaker 1: your your team is getting better for sure. All right,
- 21:57Speaker 1: let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida.
- 21:59Speaker 15: Dylan, Hey, Nick, you know, last year I called in
- 22:04Speaker 15: and I talked about the team being like a rudderless ship,
- 22:07Speaker 15: like I just couldn't see like a direction where this
- 22:09Speaker 15: thing was going. There was no identity on the team.
- 22:12Speaker 15: But now with Shady made an effort to obviously get
- 22:15Speaker 15: better in the run game, and they want to be
- 22:17Speaker 15: physical and shot. He said that over and over and over,
- 22:19Speaker 15: and they showed that in the draft by drafting the
- 22:21Speaker 15: guy in the first round, Booker, and then the running
- 22:23Speaker 15: back later. And you know what happens when you run
- 22:26Speaker 15: the ball neck, All of a sudden, safety start shooting
- 22:28Speaker 15: up a little bit, you start playing more stack boxes. Now,
- 22:32Speaker 15: all of a sudden, you've got one of the league's
- 22:33Speaker 15: best deep threats, you know, playing across from a top
- 22:35Speaker 15: three receiver in the league. And you don't forget about
- 22:37Speaker 15: Fergus and either and some of the other guys they have.
- 22:39Speaker 15: But Dickens was first last year. Sar As catches beyond
- 22:43Speaker 15: twenty yards some more yards anybody else on deep ball, so.
- 22:46Speaker 16: He is a legit deep threat. He obviously has.
- 22:49Speaker 15: Some yak ability as well. But all of a sudden,
- 22:51Speaker 15: this team is starting to form an identity and this
- 22:53Speaker 15: offense is becoming a little bit scarier.
- 22:56Speaker 1: You know.
- 22:56Speaker 15: Defensively, I still want to see them take a grab
- 22:59Speaker 15: a a veteran one technique, maybe after the post June
- 23:02Speaker 15: first cuts happen and there's some guys out there. Actually,
- 23:06Speaker 15: I'm still really nervous about being able to stop the runs.
- 23:08Speaker 15: But offensively, this thing is starting to look good, and
- 23:10Speaker 15: I'm still worried about Guidon, that's a big question. Smart
- 23:13Speaker 15: freen Bother than him, I'm pretty good with where this
- 23:15Speaker 15: offense is head.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and why wouldn't you be? Yeah, because you're You're right.
- 23:19Speaker 1: All of these things will open up and help the
- 23:23Speaker 1: the others. That helps the tight end, helps the running back.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Just like you said, this is probably one of the
- 23:28Speaker 1: best deep threat players that we've seen the Cowboys have
- 23:31Speaker 1: in a while now. Brandon Cooks was supposed to be that.
- 23:34Speaker 1: He just they just didn't use him that way. So
- 23:37Speaker 1: that's that's one that's the only concern would be, like,
- 23:39Speaker 1: you know, is Dak going to to get him the
- 23:42Speaker 1: ball that type of way? But you know, Russell Wilson
- 23:45Speaker 1: did and fields and you know, maybe not to the
- 23:49Speaker 1: level of his of his you know, desires, but I
- 23:52Speaker 1: do think that he can he can get the ball
- 23:54Speaker 1: down the field to him. And you know, he hasn't
- 23:57Speaker 1: played the other side of CD either, and see he
- 24:00Speaker 1: really hasn't played with a guy like this either. So
- 24:02Speaker 1: that's what's exciting.
- 24:05Speaker 15: Do you think they're going to be working on an
- 24:06Speaker 15: extension for him right away? Or they think they're gonna
- 24:08Speaker 15: play out this last year and then see kind of
- 24:10Speaker 15: where it goes?
- 24:11Speaker 1: You know, I think that's a great question, and that's
- 24:13Speaker 1: one that obviously has been discussed. You know, do what
- 24:20Speaker 1: what kind of game do you want to play there?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Do you do you want to say, let's wait and see,
- 24:24Speaker 1: because if he does blow up, then you've got a
- 24:26Speaker 1: quote problem. And do you think you can get it
- 24:29Speaker 1: done now?
- 24:30Speaker 5: You know?
- 24:32Speaker 1: If so, I mean I would be fine with an extension,
- 24:34Speaker 1: but I think with him, he's probably not wanting to
- 24:37Speaker 1: do that. You know, I think he would want to wait.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I would imagine, you know, wait and see how this
- 24:42Speaker 1: year goes and then and then see what what what
- 24:44Speaker 1: the market looks like for him. So it's probably like
- 24:47Speaker 1: a lot of players, the Cowboys would like to get
- 24:49Speaker 1: it done, you know now, but but the agent and
- 24:52Speaker 1: then the player might not be in the same kind
- 24:54Speaker 1: of uh A rush.
- 24:56Speaker 15: Yeah, And I'm seeing the market right now for him,
- 24:58Speaker 15: just some stuff. I've got it on twenty to twenty
- 25:00Speaker 15: five million year average right now. If he signs, you know,
- 25:03Speaker 15: you can push that closer to thirty fifty balls out.
- 25:05Speaker 15: So you're absolutely right. Got to have interest in both sides.
- 25:08Speaker 15: I think it would be who the Cowboys to really
- 25:09Speaker 15: stress it and try to extend him now, but you
- 25:12Speaker 15: know who knows that he's going to be interested or not.
- 25:13Speaker 5: So we'll see.
- 25:14Speaker 15: Man, he's got to take the field that Chris Dene
- 25:16Speaker 15: said on one of the holdout talking to him. He's
- 25:18Speaker 15: got to take the field first and we'll see what
- 25:20Speaker 15: he can do. But I think this is a step
- 25:21Speaker 15: in the right direction, a huge move for this team.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, all right, Dylan, appreciate that good stuff here.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Let's go to one more collar before we go to break.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Nico and Colorado springs his next Nico, what's up?
- 25:33Speaker 4: What's going on?
- 25:34Speaker 17: Nick?
- 25:34Speaker 4: How are you serving? I'm no chat?
- 25:36Speaker 1: Yeah, how you doing?
- 25:38Speaker 4: I'm here I'm doing good first prayers and thoughts outs
- 25:41Speaker 4: of Randy as we all have. We all do that
- 25:43Speaker 4: as and as it should be. And how cool is
- 25:46Speaker 4: that your mom did that. That's ridiculously I know.
- 25:49Speaker 1: It really was. It's and also I love the fact that,
- 25:53Speaker 1: you know, as big as things are with the Internet
- 25:55Speaker 1: and technology, that's still somewhat of a small town where
- 25:59Speaker 1: you can find people's number. Maybe that might be scary
- 26:02Speaker 1: to some, but in a small town like that with
- 26:04Speaker 1: Texar Canada, like you know, is this your number? Yeah?
- 26:07Speaker 1: And he calls back and then that they chat and
- 26:09Speaker 1: it's like you know, and they had mutual friends that
- 26:11Speaker 1: they know through church and stuff like that, so that
- 26:13Speaker 1: they chatted for a while. I think. So that's pretty good.
- 26:16Speaker 4: That's really cool talk about talk about family, as you said,
- 26:20Speaker 4: you know, like Allie and the rest of the gang.
- 26:22Speaker 4: But I do have a fun little thing for you.
- 26:25Speaker 4: As you know, I told you my story Super Bowl
- 26:27Speaker 4: thirty ended for a great way for half side of
- 26:30Speaker 4: my family. The other half it ended up with my
- 26:33Speaker 4: uncle in jel and my mom in jail thanks to
- 26:36Speaker 4: that's how we do football. AnyWho, I mean, you're also
- 26:39Speaker 4: talking to a guy who wears Barry Church's pants on
- 26:42Speaker 4: game day. Okay, so let's just be real here. My
- 26:45Speaker 4: cousin woke me up with the message finally got rid
- 26:48Speaker 4: of the cancer to a headache, and I said, well,
- 26:51Speaker 4: hold on, what's a headache? Well, Dallas is always in
- 26:54Speaker 4: the news. To them, that's a headache, thanks Steer fans.
- 26:57Speaker 4: And then the cancer if he really can because he
- 27:00Speaker 4: wants the ball. I mean, that's not a bad thing.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I mean you've said it, multiple people who said it.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Every wide receiver is this way. But I do have
- 27:10Speaker 4: a question for you, Nick, and I'm wondering if you
- 27:13Speaker 4: could help me. Okay, has anybody checked in on Jerry freakin'
- 27:18Speaker 4: Jones because I've never seen him move and do things
- 27:22Speaker 4: like this?
- 27:22Speaker 7: Who is Jerry Jones doing?
- 27:23Speaker 4: I love it? Who is this guy? Give me thirty
- 27:26Speaker 4: years back and do it again? What is this? What
- 27:29Speaker 4: have you been hearing? Is he actually trying to do something?
- 27:33Speaker 4: Is this an apology letter to the Dallas Cowboys fans
- 27:36Speaker 4: for the last crap year that we got last year?
- 27:39Speaker 4: Are you like, really, Nick?
- 27:42Speaker 5: Who is he?
- 27:43Speaker 4: Who is this? Your draft? Good? You're trading You're actually
- 27:47Speaker 4: doing something instead of just going well, well, well, well
- 27:53Speaker 4: you're doing it all right?
- 27:55Speaker 1: All right, there we go, all right, pretty excited over there.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm laughing because I'm like, it's is
- 28:04Speaker 1: this is this? I mean they this is a better
- 28:07Speaker 1: move than than you know, getting Brandon Cooks and Stefan
- 28:11Speaker 1: Gilmour within one week that was just a couple of
- 28:13Speaker 1: years ago. That has been pretty pretty good stuff. Uh,
- 28:16Speaker 1: the Mingo trade obviously was was not on this level.
- 28:19Speaker 1: This is this is the biggest thing that we've that
- 28:21Speaker 1: we've seen them do trade wise in a long time.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Because I do put this higher than than the other guys,
- 28:27Speaker 1: because those guys were good players that had been really
- 28:31Speaker 1: good and then kind of at the at the tail
- 28:34Speaker 1: end of their career. This, this guy, you know, can
- 28:37Speaker 1: be you know, he still has a lot of football
- 28:40Speaker 1: left in front of him. I don't know what what
- 28:44Speaker 1: you know, what Pittsburgh you know would be like, well
- 28:47Speaker 1: I just get rid of the guy whatever, whatever the reasons,
- 28:50Speaker 1: because we don't know all all the stories there. But uh,
- 28:53Speaker 1: like I said before and I'll say it again, you
- 28:55Speaker 1: know this is a fresh start for him. Different quarterback,
- 28:58Speaker 1: different culture, different locker, a different situation. You know, Tomlin
- 29:02Speaker 1: been there for a long time, and I think he's
- 29:04Speaker 1: a great coach. There's no doubt about it.
- 29:06Speaker 17: I think.
- 29:06Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even think that's an opinion, that's
- 29:08Speaker 1: a fact. He is a great coach, and you know,
- 29:11Speaker 1: he just I'm sure he got to a time where
- 29:14Speaker 1: it was time to move on. But but I do
- 29:17Speaker 1: think that it could be a good fit here. You know,
- 29:20Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna be asked to do the same
- 29:22Speaker 1: things when when you have a star receivers on the
- 29:25Speaker 1: other side. But but the big question for him is
- 29:27Speaker 1: can he handle that? You know, if he doesn't want
- 29:29Speaker 1: the football, and he was pretty much their their best
- 29:32Speaker 1: option down the field, then then if he wanted, if
- 29:35Speaker 1: he wasn't getting it enough, is he gonna be okay
- 29:38Speaker 1: with a guy here that you know, ceedee Lamb gets
- 29:40Speaker 1: about one hundred catches a season as well. So we'll
- 29:44Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see how how it goes. You know,
- 29:47Speaker 1: as we're all saying, let's let's get him on the field,
- 29:49Speaker 1: let's see what happens, Let's see what his attitude looks
- 29:52Speaker 1: like and how he messures with with everybody. But you know,
- 29:55Speaker 1: if he from the highlights that I'm seeing here, he
- 29:58Speaker 1: just seems like a guy that can not only strets
- 30:00Speaker 1: the field vertically, but also across the field. And that
- 30:04Speaker 1: when you have a player that can take it from
- 30:06Speaker 1: you know, stride from one side to the other man,
- 30:09Speaker 1: it sure does open up a lot of things. So
- 30:12Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited about it. And you know, if Pittsburgh's excited, great,
- 30:17Speaker 1: maybe maybe we'll we'll see what they were, you know,
- 30:19Speaker 1: what what what the situation is. But you know, I
- 30:22Speaker 1: think everybody gets a gets a fresh start. Everybody, you know,
- 30:25Speaker 1: start to add zero again and we'll see, We'll see
- 30:27Speaker 1: what happens. Let's go up a break here real quick
- 30:29Speaker 1: on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.

- 32:11Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline. Here in case
- 32:14Speaker 1: if you just joined us and haven't really heard what
- 32:17Speaker 1: was going on, get that rock off of you. But
- 32:20Speaker 1: George Pickens, the Cowboys are traded for the Steelers wide receiver.
- 32:24Speaker 1: They've sent a third round pick next year. They're swapping
- 32:26Speaker 1: picks in twenty twenty seven as well, in a fifth
- 32:29Speaker 1: and sixth swap there. But the big part of it,
- 32:31Speaker 1: third round pick next year for George Pickens, that is
- 32:35Speaker 1: the trade. This is his fourth season. I believe he's
- 32:38Speaker 1: twenty four years old, sixty three, two hundred pounds out
- 32:41Speaker 1: of the Georgia Dynamic Player. It's got some of the
- 32:45Speaker 1: best highlight catches that you've seen in a while. I
- 32:48Speaker 1: had some really good He had a catch I believe
- 32:50Speaker 1: it was his rookie year that and you know it's hard.
- 32:55Speaker 1: It's hard for anyone to say, well, this is as
- 32:59Speaker 1: good as the Odell catch, but it was in the conversation.
- 33:02Speaker 1: It was in the conversation. Is this catch as good
- 33:04Speaker 1: as the one that Odell had against the Cowboys back
- 33:07Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen? Whether it is or isn't, it's pretty good.
- 33:11Speaker 1: It's kind of like I always say about is Lebron
- 33:14Speaker 1: better than Michael Jordan. Well, it doesn't. If he is
- 33:16Speaker 1: or if he's not, whatever, that's an argument for another time.
- 33:19Speaker 1: But let's talk about the fact that he's in the conversation.
- 33:22Speaker 1: That's good enough. Don't hate the guy because he's not.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Same thing. If it's not as good as that catch,
- 33:26Speaker 1: well maybe it was or it wasn't, but it just goes.
- 33:29Speaker 1: It just shows what type of player that you're getting.
- 33:32Speaker 1: I do have a question in on the text line.
- 33:35Speaker 1: This is from Joe in Stanford, Texas. Joe says, Hey,
- 33:40Speaker 1: I think this is an ideal situation to get the
- 33:42Speaker 1: most out of pickings contract year on a low cap hit.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Worst case we get a fourth or fifth comp pick.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Great move, And he's what he's talking about is, let's
- 33:51Speaker 1: say they don't reassign him, and he's a free agent
- 33:53Speaker 1: at the end of the year, then you're gonna get
- 33:56Speaker 1: some kind of compensatory pick for him in twenty twenty,
- 34:01Speaker 1: I believe. So, you know, we're getting way ahead of
- 34:05Speaker 1: the game for a guy that probably hasn't even picked
- 34:06Speaker 1: out his jersey number yet. So but that's okay, I mean,
- 34:10Speaker 1: that's kind of what we do here. But but I think,
- 34:12Speaker 1: what he what's what you have to do though from
- 34:14Speaker 1: the cowboy you have to look at it and go
- 34:16Speaker 1: all right, you know, or do we sign him?
- 34:18Speaker 3: Do we not?
- 34:19Speaker 1: What happens here? And and I do think it'll be
- 34:23Speaker 1: you know, it'll be a situation that that we'll see
- 34:26Speaker 1: how it goes as the year develops. And I'd have
- 34:30Speaker 1: a hard time thinking that they signed him to an
- 34:32Speaker 1: extension right now, but maybe so, you know, it's all
- 34:36Speaker 1: about does he want to bet on himself? Does he
- 34:38Speaker 1: want to go and try to get that twenty five
- 34:41Speaker 1: million a year contract or does he settle for something
- 34:44Speaker 1: a little bit less right now? So, but yeah, this
- 34:48Speaker 1: is the last year of his deal. He was a
- 34:50Speaker 1: second round pick out of Georgia and this would be
- 34:53Speaker 1: I guess his his fourth season with the team, So
- 34:57Speaker 1: final year of that contract. All right, let's go to
- 34:59Speaker 1: christ and Saratoga Springs, New York. Chris, what's up?
- 35:03Speaker 16: Not much, Nick, I'm absolutely in love with the deal
- 35:06Speaker 16: we just made for mister Pickens. All right, he's I mean,
- 35:10Speaker 16: look at a quarterback that he's had throughout his career
- 35:13Speaker 16: and the numbers he's put up with those quarterbacks. I mean,
- 35:17Speaker 16: he's getting Dak Prescott. Now on the opposite side, you
- 35:20Speaker 16: have Ceedee Lamb. It's just going to be unbelievable offensively.
- 35:24Speaker 16: Like you said earlier, it's going to open up everything.
- 35:26Speaker 16: You can't double both of them, so that's going to
- 35:28Speaker 16: open up the run game. Then once the run gate
- 35:30Speaker 16: opens up, that's going to open up the play action.
- 35:32Speaker 16: It's going to open up absolutely everything. And I'm just
- 35:36Speaker 16: I couldn't even believe waking up to this news, and
- 35:38Speaker 16: I honestly was disappointed we didn't get a wide receiver
- 35:41Speaker 16: in the draft. But in hindsight, I think Jerry just
- 35:44Speaker 16: made an incredible, incredible genius move by taking that cornerback
- 35:49Speaker 16: in the third round this year. Now we have him
- 35:51Speaker 16: and George Pickens. That cornerback wasn't going to be there
- 35:54Speaker 16: next year in the third round. So what we got
- 35:56Speaker 16: now was that cornerback in the third round and George Pickens.
- 35:59Speaker 16: I think it was genius by Jared Jones. And it's
- 36:02Speaker 16: about time. It's a long time waiting for me to
- 36:04Speaker 16: be honest.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I think that you're right. I mean,
- 36:08Speaker 1: they knew what they were doing. I mean, they they
- 36:10Speaker 1: knew they had some some moves on the table and
- 36:14Speaker 1: and they you know, I think Mary Cooper's name was
- 36:17Speaker 1: was mentioned. Uh you know that that that was an
- 36:19Speaker 1: option for them. They had, They had plenty of options.
- 36:24Speaker 1: They they they did and now I'm seeing some of
- 36:27Speaker 1: these highlights. I forgot. I totally forgot about him and
- 36:29Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis having that beef in the game last year
- 36:34Speaker 1: when they when they played up in Pittsburgh. But any anyways,
- 36:38Speaker 1: it started to get sidetracked there. But but I think
- 36:40Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a plan on on fallback plans of
- 36:43Speaker 1: like I mean, because if if Ted McMillan was there
- 36:47Speaker 1: at number, you know, twelve overall, I bet the Cowboys
- 36:50Speaker 1: take him and they probably don't make this move, you know,
- 36:54Speaker 1: maybe they make a trade for a guard. So maybe
- 36:58Speaker 1: that that was that was part of the plan. So
- 37:00Speaker 1: you know, the dominoes will always kind of fall the
- 37:02Speaker 1: way they they fall. But I'm sure a move like
- 37:05Speaker 1: this was was always there. And and you know, I
- 37:08Speaker 1: think when when you look at what the Cowboys did
- 37:11Speaker 1: in some of the picks that they made and then
- 37:13Speaker 1: and then to throw you know, pickings in on the deal.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's twenty four years old. He's not
- 37:17Speaker 1: that much older, you know than some of the picks
- 37:20Speaker 1: that that are coming in. So, uh, he's still a
- 37:22Speaker 1: young player. I'm not saying Adam to the draft class,
- 37:25Speaker 1: but I am saying that that it's another young talent
- 37:27Speaker 1: that you bring in like you do with draft picks.
- 37:29Speaker 1: And and we'll see, we'll see how it all messes
- 37:31Speaker 1: in together, all right. Gavin, Gavin in Oklahoma City is
- 37:34Speaker 1: next me.
- 37:36Speaker 3: What's up to feel? How you feel?
- 37:39Speaker 1: I like it? I mean, like I've said, you know,
- 37:41Speaker 1: I just I think this is a good, you know,
- 37:45Speaker 1: good move for this team because, uh, can he play. Yeah,
- 37:49Speaker 1: we'll worry about all the other stuff later. But if
- 37:51Speaker 1: you've got your culture, you got your locker room the
- 37:53Speaker 1: way you want it, you should be able to handle
- 37:55Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. It's not about you know, the
- 37:57Speaker 1: greatest teachers in the world, not just teaching, you know
- 38:00Speaker 1: the kids at the top of the class, that they're
- 38:02Speaker 1: the ones that can teach all of the kids and
- 38:04Speaker 1: teach it and figure out the right way to do it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: So let's see how Schottenheimer handles this thing. We'll see
- 38:09Speaker 1: how Dak handles it, and we'll see how George Pickens
- 38:12Speaker 1: handles a new environment.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Nick storyliners were back in the mix, right back in
- 38:19Speaker 3: the mix, y'all.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Uh oh oh, high expectations.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Now were back in the mick. No hold on, Nick,
- 38:26Speaker 3: I need you to do me a favor. So I
- 38:28Speaker 3: need you to walk next door, knock on the door. Hey,
- 38:32Speaker 3: Jerry stepping the job's not done. If we if we
- 38:36Speaker 3: going in, let's go in. Let's uh, let's make a
- 38:39Speaker 3: call to Jacksonville. Y'all heard y'all not feeling that etn
- 38:42Speaker 3: character too much. We got some compensary picks coming up.
- 38:45Speaker 3: You take this little fifth round and we'll take my
- 38:47Speaker 3: friends Buddha Baker, Arizona. I heard y'all not getting along
- 38:50Speaker 3: too well. Sante Samuel, Why you're still a free agent?
- 38:54Speaker 3: Something must be wrong. You want this minimum? JK. Dobbins,
- 38:57Speaker 3: You want this minimum. Let's keep building this for the
- 39:01Speaker 3: Job's not done, man.
- 39:02Speaker 5: But we're close.
- 39:03Speaker 3: We're close, y'all, We're close. I'm excited. Yeah, I'm very excited.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Let me call down and ask these questions and get
- 39:13Speaker 3: off here. My first question is, I don't really make
- 39:19Speaker 3: this move for pickings if I don't at least consider
- 39:21Speaker 3: signing them. Do you think that's a consideration. If someone
- 39:23Speaker 3: already asked that, I'm sorry, I haven't been listening. Yeah, yeah,
- 39:26Speaker 3: is that a consideration.
- 39:27Speaker 1: It has to be a consideration. You don't want to
- 39:29Speaker 1: give up a third round pick for somebody just to
- 39:32Speaker 1: rent the player. I don't think the Cowboys are that
- 39:34Speaker 1: good of a team where they're they're one player away
- 39:37Speaker 1: from going out and just this is the guy they
- 39:38Speaker 1: need to go over the top. So hopefully this is
- 39:41Speaker 1: a move for long, long term as well, at least
- 39:44Speaker 1: to see how things are and give you the opportunity.
- 39:48Speaker 1: You know, I think third round is a perfect range
- 39:50Speaker 1: of if it doesn't work out, or it didn't work
- 39:52Speaker 1: out and like you know, you get some.
- 39:53Speaker 3: Condole where I'm at. I'm with you on that right now.
- 39:57Speaker 11: Me.
- 39:58Speaker 3: I'm sure the rest of Cowboys Nation the front officers
- 40:00Speaker 3: gave us a cookie. I don't give a hoover, you
- 40:02Speaker 3: know what if they do sign them or not right
- 40:04Speaker 3: the second but that's a consideration. And number number two,
- 40:08Speaker 3: what do you think this h What do you think
- 40:10Speaker 3: the team needs to possibly get over the hump after
- 40:13Speaker 3: this move? And all I'll say is, man, I don't
- 40:17Speaker 3: think you'll ever heard me excited before, but I believe blue.
- 40:20Speaker 12: Man.
- 40:20Speaker 3: I got my wisdom too taking out the other day,
- 40:23Speaker 3: and after I woke up, they said, why was your
- 40:24Speaker 3: blood blue?
- 40:25Speaker 11: You know?
- 40:26Speaker 3: But me and Carolina got snugged from that first team.
- 40:30Speaker 3: I'm coming for it this year. Carolina shout out to
- 40:32Speaker 3: you two, let's go get this. You're sorry, but appreciate
- 40:36Speaker 3: you man.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Thank you all right, Gavin, I thought you'd be appreciative
- 40:41Speaker 1: of you know, second team. We had to draw the
- 40:44Speaker 1: line somewhere, and it really went down to two calls,
- 40:48Speaker 1: if I remember correctly on my list, I do think
- 40:51Speaker 1: you were kind of right there on the edge, but
- 40:54Speaker 1: I had to had to draw it. And actually, to
- 40:57Speaker 1: be honest, I made a switch right at the very
- 40:59Speaker 1: end and added people on the first team, like on
- 41:02Speaker 1: the fly before the you know, like after the show
- 41:05Speaker 1: had already started. I think I just took the four
- 41:07Speaker 1: captains and took them off the team and said they're
- 41:10Speaker 1: off the team, and I moved everybody up. So I'm
- 41:12Speaker 1: scrambling doing some math there. Anyways, it's all the same,
- 41:15Speaker 1: you know, you get the same mug. But it's funny
- 41:20Speaker 1: that you mentioned Carolina, becuz Carolina is actually the next
- 41:24Speaker 1: one on the call. Carolina, what's up?
- 41:28Speaker 4: What's up?
- 41:29Speaker 3: How you doing?
- 41:30Speaker 1: Where are you at right now?
- 41:32Speaker 8: I mean your hometown today, but Streetport, Yes.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Sir, spent my first three hundred and sixty five days
- 41:39Speaker 1: of my life there. It was fun, I'll tell you
- 41:43Speaker 1: what it was. It was a good time for sure.
- 41:45Speaker 8: You got a lot of memory.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Milk probably all right, before this thing gets crazy, let's
- 41:53Speaker 1: go Carolina. What you got?
- 41:55Speaker 8: Oh? Man? Actually, man, you broke the new Swim music. Man,
- 41:59Speaker 8: I just just got it up, cracked up with some
- 42:01Speaker 8: red bulls and I cut on the show and said
- 42:04Speaker 8: we got George Picketts. I said, oh wow, it's been
- 42:07Speaker 8: in the news, but I ain't know if they're really
- 42:09Speaker 8: gonna do it, so that that just I don't know. Man,
- 42:12Speaker 8: that just gave me a Joe energy. You know, they
- 42:14Speaker 8: say people say, oh, I'm starting drinking the kool Aid again.
- 42:17Speaker 8: I'm always drinking the kool Aid. That just got me
- 42:19Speaker 8: extra cup I got to refill after I heard that news.
- 42:23Speaker 8: So now you know, people say, you know, they got
- 42:25Speaker 8: character issues. But I mean, at the end of the day, man,
- 42:29Speaker 8: this is football. No one's perfect and guess so we
- 42:33Speaker 8: need we need a dog, need multiple dogs, we need
- 42:37Speaker 8: a dog pound. We're gonna become a top nch team.
- 42:40Speaker 8: So we're getting the dog. So I look at it
- 42:42Speaker 8: as a win win, and I'm just sitting back and
- 42:45Speaker 8: looking like dang man, this free agency has actually been
- 42:48Speaker 8: pretty decent. They actually they should have said all in
- 42:52Speaker 8: this year, this and this should be slop. It's like
- 42:55Speaker 8: they're all in, like they're giving Shoty basically everything he
- 42:58Speaker 8: needs to be successful. If it was up to you,
- 43:01Speaker 8: what would you guess on the win record for this year?
- 43:05Speaker 8: Who would you I'm going I'm going to I'm going
- 43:07Speaker 8: to man at least here.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good that's a good start,
- 43:13Speaker 1: you know. I mean there were seven and ten last
- 43:14Speaker 1: year with a lot of injuries and backup quarterback.
- 43:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 43:19Speaker 1: One of the biggest ones was was at dak so
- 43:21Speaker 1: are they three wins better than they were last year?
- 43:24Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, I think I would. I think
- 43:26Speaker 1: that's fair. I mean you could argue, you know, into
- 43:30Speaker 1: the eleven range. I mean, things have to go right
- 43:32Speaker 1: for those kind of seasons. You really have to have
- 43:35Speaker 1: to stay healthy and things have to go right, and
- 43:38Speaker 1: somebody that we're not counting on has to emerge, you
- 43:42Speaker 1: know that. That's what I think has to happen. A
- 43:44Speaker 1: couple of years ago it was it was Ferguson in Bland.
- 43:46Speaker 1: Those guys took it to another level. Who's ready to
- 43:49Speaker 1: do that? Who's going to say?
- 43:51Speaker 8: You know, I think it should be three players who
- 43:55Speaker 8: I think it should be Lingo and being at that
- 44:00Speaker 8: very good backup option outside of Pickings because we know
- 44:04Speaker 8: Turp is gonna get his tests, I mean him from that.
- 44:07Speaker 8: That's something that you say. And I also would say
- 44:10Speaker 8: one of the running backs and you got it just
- 44:14Speaker 8: how you said it before it tight End has to
- 44:16Speaker 8: get involved. Well know, it's gonna be Ferguson's school maker.
- 44:19Speaker 8: I've seen the interview and Ferguson seems like he's.
- 44:22Speaker 11: All balled in.
- 44:22Speaker 8: So let's hope that Ferguson takes this this jump and
- 44:25Speaker 8: moves forward. I mean, this is his contract yet, right, Yes, yeah,
- 44:29Speaker 8: so he's gonna have to He's gonna have to you know,
- 44:32Speaker 8: raise the bar or contract won't be there.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I you know the guy that I would
- 44:39Speaker 1: pick there that I would want to really take that
- 44:41Speaker 1: step up would be Tyler Guyton. I mean, I mean this,
- 44:44Speaker 1: this would be a perfect opportunity for him at left
- 44:47Speaker 1: tackle to kind of take control there. But any of
- 44:51Speaker 1: those defensive ends opposite of Micah would be great too,
- 44:55Speaker 1: you know. I mean, if is it gonna be Fouler again?
- 44:58Speaker 1: Is it kneeling as a roku? Sam Williams coming back
- 45:02Speaker 1: from injury?
- 45:03Speaker 11: Uh?
- 45:04Speaker 1: You know, I saw Sam the other day. He looks
- 45:06Speaker 1: really good and and he's ready to roll. Remember that
- 45:08Speaker 1: injury was early and I mean that was training camp.
- 45:11Speaker 8: So like the second week.
- 45:12Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 45:13Speaker 1: Now it was a significant injury. I mean, if I
- 45:16Speaker 1: remember correctly, I think it was a c L and
- 45:18Speaker 1: m c L maybe. So it's a tough it's a
- 45:21Speaker 1: tough injury for him. But he looks good and and
- 45:24Speaker 1: you know his contract year for Sam Williams, so I
- 45:27Speaker 1: think we're gonna be hearing that term a lot contract
- 45:30Speaker 1: year uh. And they have a few guys to to
- 45:34Speaker 1: to resign and they just added one there with George Pickens.
- 45:37Speaker 8: All right, my last thing before I go, man, didn't
- 45:42Speaker 8: it still didn't feel like a new team injuries is
- 45:45Speaker 8: still different, doesn't it.
- 45:47Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 45:47Speaker 8: I feel like it is straggling a lot. It feels
- 45:50Speaker 8: like like how Nate said it, just like this, just hope,
- 45:55Speaker 8: just hope again. And when you got that, man, you
- 45:58Speaker 8: got players willing to go anything is possible. And I'm
- 46:01Speaker 8: gonna leave it at that. Go cowboy, all right, man.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this. Last year when they went to
- 46:06Speaker 1: training camp, they had ninety players and they had thirty coaches,
- 46:11Speaker 1: give or take you know the coaches. This year they
- 46:16Speaker 1: got about twenty twenty five new coaches and at least
- 46:23Speaker 1: sixty one I'm sorry, thirty one new players. So of
- 46:30Speaker 1: the one hundred and twenty players and coaches that are
- 46:32Speaker 1: here right now, I think you would say almost half,
- 46:37Speaker 1: about fifty six out of one hundred and twenty are
- 46:41Speaker 1: we're not here last year. So now, Shotenheimer was, that's
- 46:45Speaker 1: a little different. I mean, because it doesn't sound like
- 46:48Speaker 1: you're getting the same shoddy as you as you had before.
- 46:51Speaker 15: So you know.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Yes, it's a new team. It is a new team.
- 46:54Speaker 1: It's not about does it feel like a new team.
- 46:57Speaker 1: It is. There's thirty one new players on this team.
- 47:00Speaker 1: And this is that what I'm not even talking about
- 47:01Speaker 1: training camp. When I counted the final roster of the
- 47:04Speaker 1: football team last year, there's thirty new guys here and
- 47:08Speaker 1: that's that's uh. Now, they are not all going to
- 47:11Speaker 1: be here. Some of them are signed in the off
- 47:13Speaker 1: season and probably you know, could could be released at
- 47:16Speaker 1: some point before training camp, who knows. But it is
- 47:18Speaker 1: a different team, it's a different staff. The only thing
- 47:22Speaker 1: that's really the same are you guys the fans, I mean,
- 47:25Speaker 1: and which is great, but but yeah, it's definitely a
- 47:27Speaker 1: new team. Let's go to one more caller before we
- 47:30Speaker 1: go to break. Rick in Massachusetts. What's up?
- 47:32Speaker 8: Rick?
- 47:33Speaker 5: Hey?
- 47:34Speaker 8: Nick?
- 47:34Speaker 12: How you doing good?
- 47:35Speaker 1: How are you?
- 47:36Speaker 12: It's been to get in the last few weeks. But
- 47:40Speaker 12: I just want to thank you for a storyliners first team.
- 47:44Speaker 1: There you go.
- 47:47Speaker 12: Chris has my information, so we're good to go with that.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Good good, that's awesome. Did you pick blue or black?
- 47:56Speaker 22: I picked blue?
- 47:57Speaker 1: All right? Cool. Fortunately we've had some pretty good mix there.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Some people want the blue ones. Some people want the
- 48:03Speaker 1: black ones. Some people don't care. It's gonna work out.
- 48:05Speaker 1: We're really good, So I like that.
- 48:08Speaker 12: Yeah. They was at work this morning and I was like, yeah,
- 48:12Speaker 12: I saw I posed or something, going oh no, maybe
- 48:15Speaker 12: it's a rumor. Let me go to Twitter and let
- 48:17Speaker 12: me check it. As the Adam Schefter and I and
- 48:20Speaker 12: rapport and are okay, yeah, I'm in.
- 48:23Speaker 10: I'm in.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Yep.
- 48:26Speaker 12: After hearing all what we got for him and saying okay, yeah,
- 48:31Speaker 12: and then looking at the highlights of them and going okay, yeah,
- 48:34Speaker 12: we got our deep threat and makes you see the
- 48:39Speaker 12: available more as he doesn't get double.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Teams exactly, That's exactly it. And and you know, and
- 48:45Speaker 1: I would imagine Pickings gets his share of double teams
- 48:48Speaker 1: there with Pittsburgh, so they didn't have a lot of
- 48:50Speaker 1: great options at receiver. He was their best player to
- 48:55Speaker 1: get the ball down the field, so he probably saw
- 48:57Speaker 1: his share of double teams that He's not gonna see
- 49:00Speaker 1: that as much here, so something has to give. You
- 49:03Speaker 1: can't cover them all. It's a kind of a pick
- 49:04Speaker 1: your poison type offense now, and that's exactly what you want,
- 49:08Speaker 1: you know, when you're trying to build this thing.
- 49:11Speaker 12: Yeah, the only addition there, you know, maybe pick up
- 49:14Speaker 12: you know, maybe a couple, but it's like, if they're interested,
- 49:18Speaker 12: it would be a Nick Chubb or you know, like
- 49:22Speaker 12: a veteran cornerback or something like that.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while since. I mean they
- 49:29Speaker 1: would they pick up your ear Elam. I mean that
- 49:32Speaker 1: feels like about six months ago, you know, and that
- 49:34Speaker 1: was the first part of that was one of the
- 49:36Speaker 1: first trades this team's made. How many trades is that?
- 49:40Speaker 1: Like at least three that I can think of. I
- 49:44Speaker 1: think I'm missing one because I know they traded for
- 49:46Speaker 1: Murray in Elam and now the receiver pickings, but I
- 49:51Speaker 1: feel like there's been another one in there too. So yeah,
- 49:55Speaker 1: there's been some trades.
- 49:57Speaker 12: Yeah, this year has been very active, you know with
- 50:00Speaker 12: trades and free and see and signing on players and
- 50:04Speaker 12: the draft and more of more of uh actually had
- 50:09Speaker 12: in the past three years.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 50:11Speaker 12: So Yeah, the other person would say finding a defensive tackle,
- 50:16Speaker 12: but that's hopeful.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that that's still that's still a need. Uh.
- 50:23Speaker 18: Now.
- 50:23Speaker 1: They did draft a couple of guys late in the
- 50:25Speaker 1: in the draft that they they're excited about, but I
- 50:27Speaker 1: don't know if those would be the guys that that
- 50:30Speaker 1: could really carry the load air field, Like there needs
- 50:33Speaker 1: to be a little bit more of a veteran experienced guy.
- 50:37Speaker 4: Uh.
- 50:37Speaker 1: You know, you've got Mazi and Osa and then maybe
- 50:40Speaker 1: somebody else in there. There's kind of a drop off
- 50:44Speaker 1: there to to a bunch of young players. So yeah,
- 50:46Speaker 1: I could I could see that being a move, you know,
- 50:49Speaker 1: if there's a guy out there that you could acquire.
- 50:52Speaker 12: Okay, all right, thank you, thank you having to day.
- 50:55Speaker 1: You too, good call. Good hearing from you, Rick in Massachusetts.

- 52:10Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline. All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline
- 52:16Speaker 1: here Wednesday, May seventh. It's been a good, good show
- 52:21Speaker 1: so far, been going for about an hour, a lot
- 52:23Speaker 1: of a lot of good calls, a lot of us
- 52:25Speaker 1: talk about George Pickens, a lot of excitement about about
- 52:29Speaker 1: getting this guy into this offense. And and and you know,
- 52:33Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what he brings off the field,
- 52:35Speaker 1: We'll see what he brings into the locker room. But
- 52:38Speaker 1: you know, I think this team can handle just about anything.
- 52:40Speaker 1: What they need is a really good dynamic wide receiver.
- 52:45Speaker 1: And that's what he is. And that's a guy that
- 52:47Speaker 1: I think CD is happy about and I'm sure he's
- 52:51Speaker 1: probably happy to join up with a guy like CD
- 52:54Speaker 1: and you know, Dak Prescott has to be. So everyone
- 52:57Speaker 1: seems to be really on board with this, and even
- 53:01Speaker 1: sounds like people in Pittsburgh are on board with it
- 53:03Speaker 1: as well. Maybe they're kind of tired of the act
- 53:06Speaker 1: there and you know what, we've seen that too. We've
- 53:09Speaker 1: seen that where we've had players were good players, but
- 53:13Speaker 1: you know, probably time to just move on. And that's
- 53:15Speaker 1: kind of what what you know, It sounds like it
- 53:17Speaker 1: is in Pittsburgh and again a new situation for him,
- 53:22Speaker 1: and we'll see, we'll see how he messages. But I think,
- 53:25Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys should be in the fans should
- 53:27Speaker 1: be really excited about getting This is the type of
- 53:30Speaker 1: move that you've been asking for. You want to bring
- 53:32Speaker 1: in a really good player, good young player, and that's
- 53:35Speaker 1: exactly what they're what they're getting. All right, Erwin in
- 53:38Speaker 1: Colorado's next?
- 53:39Speaker 4: Erwin?
- 53:39Speaker 1: What's up?
- 53:40Speaker 5: Hey?
- 53:41Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 53:41Speaker 18: Nick?
- 53:41Speaker 10: How you doing good?
- 53:42Speaker 2: How are you doing great? So I think it's an
- 53:47Speaker 2: excellent trade by Jerry Jones, And I think all the
- 53:49Speaker 2: fans have been kind of wondering when he was going
- 53:52Speaker 2: to start making some moves. That appears that he's kind
- 53:54Speaker 2: of really doing that. Now. First thing I did this
- 53:57Speaker 2: morning when I saw the news, I text my son
- 53:59Speaker 2: because he was pretty pissed off about the draft. He
- 54:02Speaker 2: really wanted the Cowboys to draft a wide receiver to
- 54:05Speaker 2: help CD. And you know he's coming along now with
- 54:09Speaker 2: the whole Booker draft. I think that was a great choice,
- 54:13Speaker 2: getting a really good offensive line, a lineman like that,
- 54:17Speaker 2: and now they got Pickens to help CD. So I mean, really,
- 54:22Speaker 2: you talk about the fans, they should be really happy.
- 54:24Speaker 2: I know my son's extremely happy because, like I said,
- 54:28Speaker 2: you know, he really wanted a receiver in that draft,
- 54:31Speaker 2: but he got one.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Now, yeah, yeah, he got and he got one. I
- 54:34Speaker 1: mean after McMillan, and you can argue that the you know,
- 54:38Speaker 1: they're about the same, but after McMillan, you can't get
- 54:41Speaker 1: a receiver the second round on, you cannot get a
- 54:44Speaker 1: receiver that's a playmaker like him.
- 54:46Speaker 2: So no, and on top of that, I mean, you
- 54:50Speaker 2: draft a young receiver like that, it's going to take
- 54:52Speaker 2: a year or two for them to really come around.
- 54:55Speaker 2: System and stuff and pickings. You don't really have to
- 54:57Speaker 2: worry about that.
- 54:58Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about that. You may have
- 55:00Speaker 1: to worry about some other stuff, but but yeah, you
- 55:01Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. But you're right, I mean,
- 55:04Speaker 1: and they're all the they're all like that, you know.
- 55:06Speaker 1: I mean with McMillan, that talk was does he like football?
- 55:09Speaker 1: Does he like to study? Does he you know of
- 55:11Speaker 1: that video that came out when again it's young people
- 55:14Speaker 1: do young people things that happens. There's a level of
- 55:18Speaker 1: maturity that we're asking MIKEA to have. You know, they're right.
- 55:22Speaker 1: They're not all Larry Fitzgerald, you know. I mean that
- 55:25Speaker 1: that's just that there's not a lot of receivers like
- 55:28Speaker 1: that that were really really good and you didn't see
- 55:30Speaker 1: to have a lot of problems, the Marvin Harrison types
- 55:32Speaker 1: and all that. I mean, most of them want the
- 55:34Speaker 1: football and they don't like it when they don't get it,
- 55:37Speaker 1: that's not the worst thing. That's how you shut Michael
- 55:39Speaker 1: Irving up. You give him the freaking football. Same with that,
- 55:43Speaker 1: you know, and and both Pickens and CD you know,
- 55:46Speaker 1: you can't. They make it work in Philly, you know
- 55:49Speaker 1: what I mean, They made it work in Indianapolis. Two
- 55:51Speaker 1: of those guys are in the Hall of Fame. So
- 55:53Speaker 1: there's a way to get the two guys to football.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Hey, if I can make one more point before I
- 55:58Speaker 2: let you go to get some more callers quickly. You
- 56:01Speaker 2: had an earlier caller. What we need next? I really
- 56:03Speaker 2: think the Cowboys need to try to swing some kind
- 56:06Speaker 2: of build somewhere somehow to get them a big, nasty uh,
- 56:10Speaker 2: defensive tackle for the run and possibly a cornerback, because
- 56:15Speaker 2: what's going on with right now? So and thanks for
- 56:18Speaker 2: taking my call, Irwin.
- 56:20Speaker 1: Do you want you're third team All Storyline? You want
- 56:23Speaker 1: the blue or the black? Yetti?
- 56:26Speaker 22: I want the black, all right, And I appreciate that, Nick.
- 56:29Speaker 1: No problem, No problem. Appreciate you two time All Storyline
- 56:32Speaker 1: Team member. Uh calling from from the very first days
- 56:36Speaker 1: that we did the show. Appreciate you as well, and
- 56:40Speaker 1: shout out to your son. It sounds like he's really
- 56:42Speaker 1: excited about it, just like a lot of fans are.
- 56:44Speaker 1: All right, And we just said that about defensive tackle
- 56:50Speaker 1: and corner but those those are two positions I could
- 56:52Speaker 1: see them still adding, uh if the right move came along.
- 56:55Speaker 1: All right, I'm really excited, excited about all calls, excited
- 56:59Speaker 1: about this one more than anyone else. Hope you guys
- 57:02Speaker 1: will understand. I know you will. Randy in Texas, cana
- 57:06Speaker 1: is on the line. Randy, what's up?
- 57:09Speaker 22: The quickest of the Nicks?
- 57:12Speaker 10: How are you doing?

- 57:33Speaker 22: and all signs are they got it all. So I
- 57:36Speaker 22: am as of right now, I am cancer clear.
- 57:40Speaker 1: Chris, we have anything for that? How about all of it?
- 57:48Speaker 10: That's what I'm talking about?
- 57:50Speaker 22: Absolutely yes. And and on top of that, I find
- 57:53Speaker 22: out I made it to being a captain. That that's
- 57:56Speaker 22: pretty cool. I got a few people i'd like to
- 57:59Speaker 22: think for the that.
- 58:00Speaker 10: Uh.
- 58:00Speaker 22: First of all, I'd like to think Beyonce, because you
- 58:03Speaker 22: know you I hear bad things happen if you don't
- 58:06Speaker 22: thank her. First, I'd like to thank mister Nick, mister
- 58:09Speaker 22: Chris obviously for being the what are y'all? Are y'all
- 58:13Speaker 22: the coaches?
- 58:14Speaker 10: Are you the owners or how do we?
- 58:16Speaker 3: Uh?
- 58:17Speaker 1: Uh? I think maybe the the head coach.
- 58:21Speaker 22: Hey, coach, there you go.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Good question for him. I don't know, man, that's awesome,
- 58:32Speaker 1: you know, Chris, he's he gets it done back there too,
- 58:36Speaker 1: Like I don't know if general manager all that kind
- 58:38Speaker 1: of stuff, but yeah, he definitely like we're not doing
- 58:41Speaker 1: the show without him.
- 58:42Speaker 22: So absolutely. I'd like to thank both of y'all for
- 58:46Speaker 22: making this show possible for us fans because during.
- 58:50Speaker 10: All this, uh, I had a.
- 58:52Speaker 22: Lot of the storyline, UH, ladies and gentlemen touch get
- 58:56Speaker 22: in touch with me and and help me out, and

- 59:06Speaker 10: And last, i'd like to thank my wife Belinda, for
- 59:09Speaker 10: being by my side to the whole thing. And man,
- 59:11Speaker 10: we're out the other side of it and it's just

- 59:25Speaker 1: say this and I hope I hope you believe it.
- 59:28Speaker 1: I hope other people believe it. Chris knows he saw
- 59:31Speaker 1: the list. You were a captain before we even knew
- 59:35Speaker 1: anything of this was going on. This is not a
- 59:37Speaker 1: sentimental thing like oh we gotta make him. Not absolutely right,
- 59:41Speaker 1: this this was done a couple like a couple of
- 59:44Speaker 1: months ago. It just took us a while to figure
- 59:46Speaker 1: out what we're doing. Shirts are we doing yet, he's
- 59:49Speaker 1: what are we doing? But this, this was absolutely in
- 59:53Speaker 1: the works long long before we heard any of that
- 59:55Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I hope you know that and believe
- 59:57Speaker 1: that because that I.
- 59:58Speaker 22: Believe that's all some guys, and uh, the pressure's on,
- 1:00:02Speaker 22: that's for sure. And also I want to let you
- 1:00:05Speaker 22: know that you come from good people.
- 1:00:07Speaker 10: So uh, I know what you mean by that.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: And uh, well that I already mentioned that on the show.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: I already mentioned Okay, Okay, I did mention it on
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: the show, so you can go ahead. Uh yeah. My mom,
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: uh she lives in Texas, Canada. Now, the plan Randy was,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: she was like, well, there's only one hospital in town.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna go up there. And I'm like, really like,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: maybe if there's anyone that could make it work, it
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: would be my mom. She you know, she she would
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: turn any awkward situation into a great situation. So I
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: think when she called, you'd already you'd already left the hospital.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: So she got your number and y'all chatted for a
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: little bit the way.
- 1:00:46Speaker 22: Okay, yeah, she's doing great.
- 1:00:48Speaker 10: Uh.
- 1:00:49Speaker 22: And she offered to cook me supper and bring it out.
- 1:00:52Speaker 22: And it turns out, uh, we actually have a circle
- 1:00:56Speaker 22: of friends that we all know each other, and so
- 1:00:59Speaker 22: the small world, you know, it's crazy. She she goes
- 1:01:02Speaker 22: to church with my brother in law's parents. Are well,
- 1:01:05Speaker 22: she did, they passed recently, but yeah, but no, that's yeah,
- 1:01:10Speaker 22: that's fine. But yeah, so that that was really awesome
- 1:01:12Speaker 22: with her reaching out like that, I thought the world
- 1:01:15Speaker 22: over and uh and and that was you know, this
- 1:01:18Speaker 22: is too good to be true. Guy, this is I
- 1:01:21Speaker 22: think you need to win you one of those little
- 1:01:23Speaker 22: any things for putting on a show like that, because
- 1:01:26Speaker 22: this is this is unique.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: You know, well, I appreciate you saying that. We have
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: a lot of fun doing that's the most important thing.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: We have a lot of fun and and and you're right,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: the element of family. I think a couple of people
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: have already said it. You know, it's a family. That's
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: what the storyline has been. And it's so awesome to
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: be a part of it. And Randy, I'll ask you,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: we're excited about that, but everybody's excited about this move
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: with with George Pickens. What's your take on it.
- 1:01:51Speaker 22: I'm actually excited about it too, because I hadn't been
- 1:01:56Speaker 22: hearing what everybody else's reactions are. I heard did this
- 1:02:00Speaker 22: guy has a tendency to be a little bit of
- 1:02:02Speaker 22: a knucklehead. So but the top of man that Shottenheimer
- 1:02:07Speaker 22: is I think just his overall vibe that he brings
- 1:02:13Speaker 22: to the team.
- 1:02:15Speaker 10: I kind of think he can.
- 1:02:16Speaker 22: Calm down guys like that. I just have a feeling
- 1:02:19Speaker 22: that he may actually be able to get something out
- 1:02:23Speaker 22: of this guy. And and if if we can, then
- 1:02:25Speaker 22: here's another one in Jerry's second round, blown out meat
- 1:02:29Speaker 22: picks that he takes a chance on him that hopefully
- 1:02:31Speaker 22: it'll hit, you know. And that's that's kind of where
- 1:02:34Speaker 22: I think that falls in line is because he didn't
- 1:02:36Speaker 22: really give up that much for what this guy's talent
- 1:02:39Speaker 22: is exactly not.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: I don't think that's a fair point. And Randy, I
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: have to ask you this, when when what age in
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: your life did you stop being a knucklehead?
- 1:02:47Speaker 22: Oh boy, last Tuesday.
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: I think I was gonna I.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Was gonna say next year for me, that's that's the
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: year I planed on stop but nice Tuesday. That's cool.
- 1:03:00Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, last Tuesday when I had my surgery, and
- 1:03:03Speaker 22: that's when that's when life got super real for me.
- 1:03:07Speaker 22: And and uh yeah, so but hey, it don't mean
- 1:03:11Speaker 22: that I can't pull it back out when I need to.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: You know, that's awesome, Randy. We could talk to you
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: all day long.
- 1:03:18Speaker 22: We are going to keep it going.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Uh. I'm really excited you know that you were able
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: to call when when you did, and and it's been
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: perfect you because you hopefully you can go back and
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: listen to the to the show, because I think just

- 1:03:45Speaker 22: call in Wednesday after my surgery. We did, I'm not kidding.
- 1:03:49Speaker 22: We just couldn't get through. You probably wouldn't have wanted
- 1:03:52Speaker 22: to speak to me that day though, because I was
- 1:03:54Speaker 22: I was my wife told me that they were asking
- 1:03:59Speaker 22: me who my favorite mother in law was, my favorite sis,
- 1:04:02Speaker 22: and then they got to the wives and they said, so,
- 1:04:05Speaker 22: who's your favorite wife? And I said, here is Belinda,
- 1:04:08Speaker 22: but I've got two more living in shoot Tall or
- 1:04:12Speaker 22: Idaho or something like that. And I don't know where
- 1:04:15Speaker 22: they came from. I guess we were watching one of
- 1:04:17Speaker 22: those commercials of those sharing wives.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:04:22Speaker 10: Yeah, and so it.
- 1:04:22Speaker 22: Got into my into my mind there and so yeah,
- 1:04:26Speaker 22: I was saying crazy stuff.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Them for asking questions.
- 1:04:30Speaker 22: I mean, come on, oh it was It was all
- 1:04:33Speaker 22: in funny.
- 1:04:33Speaker 10: Yes, yeah.
- 1:04:34Speaker 22: They were setting me up pretty good to get myself
- 1:04:37Speaker 22: in trouble, but luckily I came out of it.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, sounds good. All right, all right, Randy,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: great to hear from you. So glad you're doing well
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: and hopefully everything just continues to go on the right path.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: All right. That's Randy and text are can of one
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: of our favorites. For sure. Let's keep it going though. Man,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: I've never been to for the d Beach, Florida shore
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: does sound fun. I mean that sounds like a cool
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: place to be. Keith is there, Keith, what's up?
- 1:05:06Speaker 10: Yes?
- 1:05:07Speaker 5: Keith is here, So it's Furndoned Dina Beach, it is.
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: It is actually on Amelia Island, which is a barrier
- 1:05:13Speaker 5: island right off the coast of Florida. Right it's north Florida,
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: kind of close to Jacksonville. So that's kind of where
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: I'm at. But all right, thank you, thank you for
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: taking my call, Nick, And I'm going to just echo
- 1:05:26Speaker 5: what we're hearing is that I'm excited about this trade.
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: The way I look at it, we could have had
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: a thirty one year old, you know, Mariy Cooper on
- 1:05:35Speaker 5: a one year deal. We could have a thirty three
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: year old Keenan Allen on a one year deal. Or
- 1:05:39Speaker 5: we could have had a twenty four year old George
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: Pickens who has something to prove and it's basically a
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: one year deal because he's on his rookie contract. So
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: kudos to the Joneses and this is this is great.
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: That being said, I still feel like that we need
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: some help at cornerback, maybe just for the first half
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: of the year until we can get some of these
- 1:06:01Speaker 5: guys back. But I would like to see one more move,
- 1:06:05Speaker 5: and I'd like to see them bring in a veteran cornerback,
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: what are your thoughts and I'll love hang up and listen.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: I I thank you for the call, Keith appreciate that.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: And I've said it a couple of times already. Defensive
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: tackle seems like one where you could get a little
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: help there, some experienced help. Now if these two guys
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: and the I mean they're not all Jay Rattlff that
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: you drafted the seventh round, and even Jay Ratloff took
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: a year or two before he really developed. So to
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: think that you're going to get seventh round defensive tackles
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: that are come right in and be ready to go,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: you know, that's that's kind of that's kind of far
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: fetched in my opinion. Now, we'll see, you know, we'll
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: see you know, Jaytoya and Tommy a Keen Besote which
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: he needs a nickname for sure. But those two those guys, uh,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: that they're excited about. But I could see a little
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: bit more veteran help if if there is some out there.
- 1:07:05Speaker 16: Uh.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: And then cornerback, you know you've got Bland and Elam
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: obviously revel you know is he will probably be ready
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: to go at some point in training camp. I think
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: the big question with with Savone revel is can he
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: play in a preseason game? You know, can he can
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: you get him some snaps in the third preseason game.
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: Now you're not rushing it. That's not the most important thing,
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: but it would be it would be really good to
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: get him somewhere if he's ready. To get him some
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: some reps there in a in a preseason game, and
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks later, you know you're ready
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: to go for the season. I mean, because he's probably
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: gonna start off on pup, which gives him the option
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: to miss the first four games of of you know,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: of the season. But I don't know if it'll it'll
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: get to that point. I mean, he he was doing
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: some workout here and they were throwing the ball around
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: to him, and uh, he couldn't do everything, but he
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: was doing some stuff and they were kind of holding
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: him back a little bit. But uh, I think by
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: training camp he said it, and of course players he
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: could probably go to borrow if you ask a player,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: but uh, he thinks he will be able to do
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: some stuff at training camp, and so I think I
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: think that you know, when you ask one of the trainers,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: their focus is always the first game you know, but
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: if you know he's never played before, it's one thing
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: if you're a three or four year veteran, you've played
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: football in the NFL, and and you're going out there
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: and you know your but your very first game. I
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: would love for him to get a preseason game in there.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: I think that would be beneficial for him. But we'll see.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: But cornerback though, that's another position. I think they could
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: add a little bit there, all right. Next caller is
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Rafael in Louisville, Kentucky. I know I've never said that before.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: Raphael and Louisville.
- 1:08:56Speaker 17: Well, I gotta get you. I gotta get yours, Louisville.
- 1:08:58Speaker 17: If you're from here, it's love Well, not Louisville.
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: Louisville, Louisville.
- 1:09:03Speaker 17: They say Louisville here if you're actually from here.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: So and I'm not. I'm sorry, Louisville.
- 1:09:08Speaker 17: That's all good. That's all good.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: Lewisville, Texas, Okay, so we will say that.
- 1:09:13Speaker 22: I know, yeah, I know.
- 1:09:15Speaker 17: Got louis I was in Austin for a minute when
- 1:09:17Speaker 17: I watched Austin Girl from twenty fourteen to nineteen. But
- 1:09:20Speaker 17: me and Chris had had a really good conversation. My
- 1:09:23Speaker 17: main thing is, I'm really excited about what we did
- 1:09:26Speaker 17: in the wide receiver position. I was a little concerned
- 1:09:29Speaker 17: about Amari Cooper coming in there. Nick, I've been following
- 1:09:32Speaker 17: you since she's on the break with with With with
- 1:09:35Speaker 17: Derek man Broy So I know that my first time
- 1:09:38Speaker 17: because I told Nick, I said, don't give me to
- 1:09:40Speaker 17: here we go is I'm gonna give it to you anyway,
- 1:09:41Speaker 17: here we go.
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: I'm like, no, don't worry about that.
- 1:09:44Speaker 10: We got we gotta do it anyways.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: You know, we got to do it anyways.
- 1:09:47Speaker 17: But I've been I've been listening to every every every
- 1:09:50Speaker 17: every so all of your all of your all your
- 1:09:52Speaker 17: calls and all your shows and stuff like that. For
- 1:09:54Speaker 17: the most part, been a diehard fans in seventy six.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Bro Okay.
- 1:09:59Speaker 17: So my main thing is I'm excited about this this
- 1:10:02Speaker 17: receiver position. I thought was gonna try to bring a
- 1:10:04Speaker 17: Maori back, right, Yeah, but to bring this guy it's awesome.
- 1:10:07Speaker 17: I just I just know, without a shadow of doubt,
- 1:10:10Speaker 17: Brian's won't get him right. Coach shott Is don't get
- 1:10:12Speaker 17: him right. I think you're number two, not a number one,
- 1:10:15Speaker 17: plain and simple. What are your thoughts.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you now. Now, I have a lot
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: of respect for Tomlin, and I think Tomlin tried to
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: get it right as well. But but I I think
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: at some point you got to be humbled a little bit.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: Like you said, you know you're number two, especially here,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: but the pressure is off, you know, you don't you don't, well,
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: I will say pressure is off. There's pressure is never off.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: He needs to you know, he needs to make get
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: a big contract, but he's not going to see the
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: double teams that that he was seeing in Pittsburgh. He's
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: just not. And it's right, the correct Then CD's gonna
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: have two hundred catches.
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: Correct, correct. That's an awesome point.
- 1:10:50Speaker 17: And I hope, I hope the goodness that that calls
- 1:10:52Speaker 17: him too, the you know, to the d to the
- 1:10:54Speaker 17: dock yard, you.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: Know, yeah, yeah, exactly. I'd love to see him out
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: there too. Mingo Tober. You know, we're not even talking
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: about the guy that led the team in touchdowns last year, and.
- 1:11:04Speaker 17: That part, that part nobody they did ad miss that
- 1:11:06Speaker 17: because everybody keep saying no number two, number, no number.
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: Two, right.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's been disrespected this offseason more than Jaylen Tolbert.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the way it is, and and
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: but but but let's the Cowboys are doing it too.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: The Cowboys wanted the draft McMillan, they wanted to trade
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: for pickings. They see what what we all see? Uh, yes,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: he's caught some touchdowns. But who is afraid of Jalen Teper?
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: I just don't think anyone is.
- 1:11:31Speaker 11: But nobody.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: They should be afraid of George Figgins. And you know
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: what if Tolbert has something to say about that, What
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: a great year, another contract year, What a great year
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: to prove all of us wrong. So go out there
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: and do that.
- 1:11:44Speaker 17: Yeah, ye put the line for everybody.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: Say where you're from. Say where you're from, because I'm
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: not saying it right.
- 1:11:51Speaker 11: Louisville, Yeah, Louisville.
- 1:11:53Speaker 17: But I'm really from Richmond, Virginia.
- 1:11:54Speaker 11: But I grew up in Louisville.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: How did I say it? Louisville?
- 1:11:58Speaker 17: He said Louisville. But this is Louisville, Georgia.
- 1:12:01Speaker 11: Is Louisville, Texas.
- 1:12:03Speaker 17: Yeah, I was in Austin's all right, but we slayed Louisville.
- 1:12:07Speaker 17: As you've been here, I went to high school in
- 1:12:08Speaker 17: college here, I went to high school right across from
- 1:12:11Speaker 17: the University of Louisville. But he there's a lot of
- 1:12:13Speaker 17: talent comes out of there too as well.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Definitely, all right, sounds good. Raphael, good to hear from you.

- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Yeah, well, i'll tell you what. You know, he has
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: a passion for the Cowboys, like like all these callers do.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: And you know, and how if you don't want me
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: asking how.
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: Old are you?
- 1:13:40Speaker 23: Twenty six? I didn't see the lower years unfortunately.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you haven't. You haven't seen that. It's been
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: well documented and that that was kind of my points.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: And I say it all the time and I'll say
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: it again. You know, being a Dallas Cowboy fan, a
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: diehard fan, you don't really choose it, you know, it
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: chooses you. In this case, you had no choice. You
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: had no choice, yes, sir, And I appreciate the young
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: fans for saying, hey, it's not just about who's my
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: favorite team. Oh, these teams, you know, these guys win,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: that's my favorite team. It's about family.
- 1:14:11Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I didn't choose to be an Arkansas razorback fan. It
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: was my family.
- 1:14:14Speaker 23: You know, us we don't.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: Win all the time, but but that's what it is.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: You know, this passion stems from family, and so I
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: really I appreciate all the stuff that you've done, and
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: I know you're carrying the torch as a big fan
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: as well.
- 1:14:27Speaker 23: Yes, sir, I am and that, and you know we
- 1:14:31Speaker 23: will will never give them up. Unfortunately we're in a
- 1:14:33Speaker 23: rough patch, but you know we're gonna get there. And
- 1:14:36Speaker 23: I'm excited for the George pickup. I think it's gonna
- 1:14:40Speaker 23: it's gonna relieve a lot of pressure off the deck
- 1:14:43Speaker 23: and CD as well. But I just wanted to call
- 1:14:45Speaker 23: and introduce myself and I state thanking to Irene and
- 1:14:49Speaker 23: Dealing and you course and and Chris and everyone that's
- 1:14:52Speaker 23: been so supportive of him and us, and it's just
- 1:14:56Speaker 23: meant too much.

- 1:16:13Speaker 1: stuff here. We talked about a lot of things, most
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: notably the trade for George Pickens Cowboys pick up a
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Steelers should come right in and
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: be the number two guy, dynamic playmaker. We'll see how
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: he fits with the team. But he can play, and
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: that's the most important thing that Cowboys need to figure out.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: How to get him the football and how to make
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: it work with everyone. I'm sure that they will. I
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: know everyone's excited about it. Seems like we got seventeen calls.
