  Speaker 3: This These Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: What's up everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline Thursday, January The
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth off season is definitely here. Got here before
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we knew it and we're expected, but now we're living
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in it. Having to watch other football. If you're even
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: doing that, I know there's some people that are like
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: now not doing that, but you know, it hurts for
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But then he ended up watching it
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and just trying to see where you where this team
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: kind of stacks up with the rest. And the thing
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: is is we've seen the Cowboys play most of these teams,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: especially in the NFC, So you know, the Detroit game
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was as close as it could get. San Francisco was
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: not close as it could get. But it'll be an
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: interesting game, probably a tough football game. And I think
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that's going to be the theme that comes out of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this when you for it is for me of what
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: this team needs to do. You know, last year, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: remember thinking they didn't have enough weapons on offense. They
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: needed more weapons, and I think for the most part
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: they they they fixed that that they did get more weapons.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I think this year's theme is they got to be tougher, bigger, stronger.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: They they have to be ready for a fistfight, because
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: everybody brings it to the Cowboys every single game, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I think that they've got to They've got to be
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit more like that. I think you need
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to see it in your in your linebackers, and you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to see it in your offensive line, defensive line, running back,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the way you run the ball. I think bigger, tougher, stronger.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think that, to me would be the theme if
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at this team going going in all right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: eight eight eight, eight, five, five two two nine seven
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: is the number to call. There's been a few things
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: happening today we can talk about. I know they they
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: listed the NFL Honors the finalists for that. Cowboys very
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: well represented in that. I don't know if that means
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: they're gonna get any of the winners. DAK is one
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of the finals for m v P DAK and CD
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: finals for Offensive Player of the Year. Micah and Deron
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Bland finalists for Defensive Player of the Year. That'll be
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that one will be interesting. But I think for the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: most part, it looks like the Cowboys probably will fall short.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: That's the way it kind of looks. You know, you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: look at the the All Pro teams, the All Pro lists,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, those are the same voters for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the most part that vote for these awards. So if
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: if Dak's not gonna win First Team All Pro, then
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he's probably you know, probably not gonna win MVP uh
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to Lamar Jackson and and so on. But that's that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the way it looks like, uh, still the good honor
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: for those guys uh to to be there, and we'll see,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. All right, let's get started with
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the calls, Travis and san Antonio. Travis, you're first, what's up, man?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Uh, what's going on?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I hope?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I hold I'm leading the getting on the All Pro
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: caller list or the team oh all storyline? Yeahine, you know, yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm working on that. I'm gonna formulate that, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a how many is going
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: to be on it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's we'll see, but uh, yeah, you you've
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: got a good uh good shot for sure being on there.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So but then again, you know, well we'll see how
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that all goes goes about. I'm still working on that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: list right now. But last last week, the last show
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, there was a lot of a lot of
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: people that have been on it, and I was proud
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of that, proud of the fact that, you know, like
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we moved the time slot to the afternoon and still
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: still hearing some of the same voices in you as well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: So what's up, Travis, Well, I just got I got
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: something bat and lead off here, I got I just
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: got three things that I want to have a little
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: different because I talked to you on our message on
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Twitter and the whole So front office, McCarthy and Dak
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: real quick. So the front office, my theory is a
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: little bit different from everybody else's because you know, the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: you know, it's been about Jerry every year for the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: last twenty eight years, Twain out whatever it is, everyone's saying,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: it's Jerry Well, I honestly think it's more Stephen Jones
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and I heard brought us kind of talk about this
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: the other day and it kind of reaffirmed it. But
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I just think, well, his.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Rant but he went on, he went on wine, didn't
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he Oh yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: He did, And and I mean in a way, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: kind of at least I kind of appreciate it because
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you know, we kind of say it about players sometimes
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and I know, you guys it's a little bit different.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: But when he's on that, it was it was kind
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: of like almost therapeutic to watch him do that, because
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: it's just it's probably a lot of what people thought.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: But he kind of has a similar idea that I do.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And I don't think I think Jerry has. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: everyone criticizes him for, you know, not he's been a gambler,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: like he made his whole, you know, the oil business,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: his whole life. He's had to gamble things and make
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: moves and be aggressive and do stuff. Now, I do
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: think where I give Steven Jones and uh Will McClay
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: credit is sometimes he's too aggressive, right with the whole
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Let's take Johnny Manziel and I talk him off the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: leg and said, let's take Zach Martin said this is
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: a better option. They get credit for that, But I
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: do think that when you look at conversely, when you
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: look at Stephen Jones, and I'm not trying to like
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: criticize his life, but I don't think he's had to make.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I think it's a safe thing to say. I don't
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: think he's had to make as many critical aggressive decision
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: as his dad is. It's just the way, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: just the way it is, right. So I think he's
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: learned how to run a good business from his dad,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: But I don't think he's learned how to run like
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the the the aggressive part of Like we say coaches
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: need to know their team. Well, I don't know if
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: he's learned knowing where his team, like the where the
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: franchise is to be aggressive, because I think when they
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: hit on Dak and Zeke, that was the time back
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: then when they should just people's contracts back. Let's push
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: it back, push it back, let's get money, and let's
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: go for it. Now this is this is the opening
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: they didn't I think if they do it now, Nick,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like bad businesses kind of like make
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: reactive decisions, right, good businesses make proactive ones. Well, now
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: we're kind of at the end of the road. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: it kind of leads me to Mike McCarthy. I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: they brought him back because they don't want to rebuild
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: a retool or whatever you want to call it. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I understand that because this is like I think, to them,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I think Jerry knows we move on from Mike McCarthy
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: right now. This we're signaling to everybody this is this
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: error is kind of over and we need to go
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: into the next one. So I'm just curious what you
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: think of that. But like, for instance, free agency, right,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna circle back quick, free agency. We've talked about
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: this and I know you've had on it before, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Steven Jones a free agency. There's the common conception out there,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: and I think it's true. He wants to win every deal,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: right well, in free agency, winning deals at the top
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of the market is not what free agency is about.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: It's about identifying it, laring weakness and saying this guy
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: can absolutely help us in a position where we maybe
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: we haven't drafted as well, and you got to just
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: pay the search charge. I know you want to win
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the deal, but that's that's what you're paying for, Like
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you'd basically paying a charge because you didn't draft. Well there,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: if that makes sense. And then lastly, the Dak thing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: His contract before this was about leverage, right, it was
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: all about leverage. He has all the leverage. I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: the only way I think they can with an extension,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: they can create thirty one million with his deal, they
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: can get like seventy two with restructures, So they can
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: go kind of crazy. Do I think they will know?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I think they need to ride this out, maybe create
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I think without his deal you can create like forty
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: one million, and you could do some things and whatnot.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: But I think the only way you get any leverage
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: back from Dax is you say, Hey, this is the
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: number we're prepared to carry you at. This is our
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: extension offer. Now he can certainly say no, and I
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: wouldn't blame him for saying no. But I think you
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: just proceed as is them and you take this Mike
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: McCarthy last year of his deal and Dak in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: last year's the deal. Maybe you throw some whit free
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: agency and go for it and have it doad work.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Then I think we're rebuilding and retooling.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, Travis, have a good one. All right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you two, Thanks for the call. A lot of stuff there,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I think Dak obviously has
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of leverage. I think one thing that I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: think is getting kind of lost in this is that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: maybe you know Yeah, you could play out this year
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: fifty nine million, and he could just play it out
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and they always will play it out. But it's not
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of free agent splashes. Not a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: lot of guys you're going to resign around that if
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you're sitting with just a sixty million dollar charge at quarterback.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And he knows that and the team knows that too,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: So you know, he's obviously playing for the next contract
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: as well. This team's got this has got to go well.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So you know, I think I think you've got to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: have some success around this team as well, and so
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe there there's something they can kind of work
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: with each other on that. As for a free agent philosophy,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I've said it too. I think it needs to change.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I really do. I think I think every now and again,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you got to go for it. You got to go
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: for some some splash moves, and you have to kind
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of figure out, Yeah, I mean, there's a reason why
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the team doesn't want him, there's a reason why he's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a free agent. The oddist is going to be a
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: free agent. He's gonna get some money, and then they're
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: gonna look at it and say, well, why aren't the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Cowboys doing that, and the Cowboys are probably just gonna
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: move on from that, just like a lot of teams
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: are moving on from their free agent. So you got
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to figure that out. Why didn't it work there? Will
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it work here? What can we get provided differently than
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it didn't work in the first time? So it's a crapshoot.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes it really works, sometimes it doesn't. But I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: think this year, I mean, the Cowboys aren't gonna have
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a great draft pick, and they don't have a lot
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of picks right now. Anyways, they're going to have to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: do something, and I think free agency is probably the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: best about the best bet. I don't know if they'll
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: go that route, all right, Michael and Baton Rouge's next, Michael, Oh,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Michael dropped, Sorry about that. Let's go to Joe in Pennsylvania. Hey, Nick,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: how are you doing good? I'm good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I just want to talk about the deck situation.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: It just seems to me like it should at this
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: point come down to a fairly simple equation. Dak's been
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: there eight years with the same front office. They should
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: have a good feeling of what he can do, what
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: he can't do, what he needs around him. To win.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: And if they feel like they put the things around
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: him that he needs to win and fit that all
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: under the salary cap with his current cap number, then okay,
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: keep them. If they feel like he needs more things
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: and they can't fit her under the cap, it should
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: be a you know, come down to a math formula
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: almost and say, okay, well we think he needs a
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: plus offensive line, plus defense, plus receivers, and we just
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: can't afford that with his contract. And then at that point,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I think then you have to move on and they
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: should have that information already, being let they're eight years
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: in with him.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is this is not an
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: easy one at all, you know, to to to kind
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of figure out because you know, like like you said,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the eight years, don't let's don't forget that part that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: you know, them working together and seeing this this kid,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: you know, grow up into the face of the franchise
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for the Cowboys and just how much respect it. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: think it goes both ways, and so that's what makes
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: this thing. Feelings matter, and that's what that's what makes
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it harder than I think it is for some fans
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to be like, you know what, get rid of him,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: get get rid of the It's it's you know, you
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: see how hard this guy works and how much he
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: wants to win so bad, and and you want it
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: for him, and you want to see him have success.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So that's why I think the Cowboys are going to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: do everything they can to try to make this work
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the best way to keep Dak and try to see,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you know, try to let him have the success they
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: think he can have.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean I agree. I mean, he's you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: he's obviously a great person, and you know, I love
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: nothing more than to see him win the championship while
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: he's there, you know, But as running a business, you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: you've got to make sure, you know, come up with
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: what's best for the team, and you know, even if
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: it's not really what you want to do personally, but
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: you know that's what's got to happen.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Well, and and you know, Tony Romo was released, Troy
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Aichman was released, Emmitt Smith was released. I mean that happens,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe happens later on, maybe happens later than
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: than it could or should. But again that's where that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: where it's tough, you know. And and and Jerry's a
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: lot more loyal than people I think people ever give
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: him credit for, and maybe to a fault sometimes you know, definite,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's that's that's what happened. You know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: he didn't want to cut the Marcus where, you know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: go back to that last collar, Travis. I mean, Jerry
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: did not want to cut to Marcus where he In fact,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: he told DeMarcus face to face meeting, we're not releasing you.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It was a Friday meeting with DeMarcus Warings and we're
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: not releasing you. And he was cut on Monday. So,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Stephen, they you know, he that
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: was the decision I think they made. That was least
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of the story that was told to me. But but yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's tough to part ways with some
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: of these guys, and you know, that's the that's the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: thing that's tough about business. And that's also the thing
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that the players love about Jerry too, because he is
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you know, he's always on in their corner. But it's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: tough to run a business that way out Like you said, absolutely,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: all right, thanks for the call, Joe, appreciate that. All right,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh. He's in Upstate New York. Hey
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: are you doing, Hey, Josh, how's it going?
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Pretty good, surviving the off season, starting to keep back
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: on our feet from a pretty rough wild card around there.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, getting there question for you. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: keep hearing people talk about the term the defense built
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: to play with the lead. I here cowboys dot com
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: talking about it on Nasenal telecaster's talking about during the games,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and it seems like is that it seems like a
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: strange concept to me because you're just going to be down.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It's not. Honestly, I don't think it's a concept. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: think it's a really nice way to say, you don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: you don't stop the run very well, thank you. That's
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, you don't thank you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's the stupidest thing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're not. You're not built this way. We're
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: not built this way. It's like, we don't stop the run. Well,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: so the best thing to do is get get up
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: on them so they don't run.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: That's it's good example. I don't like Greg Olsen a
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: whole lot as a broadcaster. He said, like it's like
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: they did a purpose right, right, right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: He's been surprisingly better than I thought. Honestly, I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I just, you know, I think he's. I think he's okay.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I really do. I mean he's he's he's okay.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: To me, that's better this year than it was last year.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yet, and that's that's the same with probably most people
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: in most jobs.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: In life, you know, accurate.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Except for Romo. Almost seemed like he was his best
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: his first year. I'm talking about as a broadcaster. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: mean he was, you know, they just hadn't seen him
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: people like predict plays and stuff like that. But sure,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: you know, and I really enjoy watching or listening to Romo.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I think I think he does a good job. I think,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you know, he's it's almost seems like it's Christmas morning
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: every every time he's like, oh Jim, this is quack
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: right at least so excited. Sorry, went off on a tangent.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: There, go ahead, Oh you're fine, You're fine.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: To go on tangents.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Things right, So.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you? Uh the linebacker thing and the
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: offensive line things again, Nick, I'm a hockey player and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I'm a mountain biker. There have been an offensive lineman.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But I love watching football.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I think you could I watch hold on now, you're
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a mountain biker and a hockey player. I mean, yes,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: sign you up. I think you could play guard. I don't.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you look like, but I mean
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you gotta be tough and that that's two things that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: seem like they're pretty tough.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: My my shoulders wouldn't make Sean Lee look reliable, all right,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: it would. I wouldn't go well but mountain like nowadays.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: But when I see the offensive line on our team,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: you know, it seems like Prescot had a decent amount
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: of time. I saw when Tip would run, he seemed
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: like he was mostly indecisive. Hit in the line doubts,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: seems like you hit it with confidence and he would
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: get somewhere. But like I said, I don't know how
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to judge an offensive line. Is that Nate Newton's is
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: me an offensive line? Then I know Nate Newton knows
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: he's talking about right, But like I, what what do
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: you guys look for?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: What? What?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: What kind of things would you say? Like, oh, the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: offensive line needs to be built up because blank, because
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: tarn Smith is getting old and when he's hurt, we
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: struggle with it. It seems to me like linebacker is
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the bigger priority because we literally don't have any outside
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: of vander Esh and a guy who needs to focus
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: more on linebacking versus defensive line. In that podcast, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: not to take shots or anything. I love Parsons, I do.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: It's great, but you know focused.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I aree you on that. To answer the question,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: thanks for the called u Yo, Josh, Sorry about Josh, Josh.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Josh. Uh good stuff there. And
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and you know, I I think those two things are
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: pretty simple. Is like, what are you looking for? I mean,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I think for an offensive line, they've got to figure
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: out how they have got to run the football better.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And I think they've got to understand from the coaching
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: philosophy of what they're being taught and what fits there.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's not always about strength, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I think look at the last two picks you know
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: in the first round, Lossie Smith, Tyler Smith probably are
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: going to win most bench press competitions or so it's
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: not all about that. Technique is important, and I'm not
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: saying Tyler Smith doesn't have it. Tyler Smith is second
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: team All Pro. I think he's a Pro Bowl alternate.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: He might find himself there. Who you know in this
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: week next week. But I still think, you know, they
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: don't run the ball as well, you know, with him
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and Zach Martin. You know, and both those guys are
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: really good players, but for whatever the reason, they're not
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: running the ball as well, and they have to get
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: back to them. You have to run the football, sure,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Dak all the numbers CD had and all that, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you know what, I hope they go down. I hope
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: CD's numbers go down because if they go down, they
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: could run the ball. That means they'll probably running it more.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're trying to, you know, they're able to run
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: out the clock things like that. So I think from
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a linebacker standpoint, I think they got to get these
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: linebackers in here they can fill the hold. I think
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a problem with what they're drafting,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. I think they're focused way too much
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: on speedy linebackers that can cover, and I think that
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: kind of what's been lost is the linebackers that get north,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: fill the hole and stop the run. That way, you
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: do that, you'll figure out your third and seven, third
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and eight, third and eleven packages. If you can do
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: that and stop the run, all right, let's go to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: we have some text questions here chance in Montgomery, Texas,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: or maybe it's a chance Montgomery. Sorry, I don't know. Sorry.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: We've had the seventeenth game for a couple of years now.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see the NFL do something fun with
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the extra game. I'm thinking geographic or historical robberies. You
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: know what. I've actually thought that like ten years ago. Seriously,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're saying here. I think it
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: would be really really cool to do that. Now. Let's
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: not forget there could be an eighteenth game here before
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: we know it. I think that's kind of where we're headed.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Eighteenth game wouldn't surprise me. Two preseason games and then
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: have eighteen games and then you have now you're back
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: to more of a balance with home and away nine
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and nine. And if they did that, I would love
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: to see that. He's talking about Dallas versus Houston, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the Ravens versus Washington, still Steelers Philly. There's about of
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the sixteen combinations, there's about nine or ten that make
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: pretty good sense from a geographical standpoint, and then others
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you just would have to do it, like when you
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: get up in that Midwest you know, who are the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Bengals and Browns matching up with the Bears or the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Packers of Vikings or whatever it is. But you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: as soon as you do it once or twice and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: then there's a fight that breaks out, and then all
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you here becomes a rivalry, you know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So I think it would be I think it's a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: good idea, And maybe maybe you do that for the
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: eighteenth game. I don't know, but I think that would
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: be great.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see that. I'd like Dallas and Houston
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to play every year, you know, or something like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And the way it is with the way it is
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: with the teams, like you know, yeah, the Patriots had
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a dynasty. You know, forty nine has been good here
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: for a while. But you know, for the most part,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think you would be stuck with this is
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: my team that I play every year. You know. Now
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you'd have to figure out too what happens when you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: actually do play them that year? Do you play them twice?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I mean things like that, but not a bad thought.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I like it. Another text question, this is Kyle from
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: East Brunswick, New Jersey. What's more important in the off
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: season aspect to address personnel at running back or the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: actual running back scheme. That's a good question because I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: think if you fix this game, you might have a
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: better running back and I and I think both. This
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: probably needs to be addressed here, and I think both
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: will be addressed. I think that they're gonna look at
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: the actual running running scheme and also though they got
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: to get some some personnel, different personnel running backs here.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I don't foresee Tony Pollard coming back as the number
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: one running back. If he's If he's back, then he's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: probably you know, we'll be with you know, another back,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and I think that could be a good role for him.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But I have a feeling he'll probably take a deal
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: somewhere else, even though it might be the same as
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: what the Cowboys had. It wouldn't surprise me if he's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: If he's moving on, but I but either way, you're
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: gonna have some different running backs. All right, let's go
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: to Ali in Florida. Next caller, what's up.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: A pretty good buddy? How about yourself?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. What's up with you?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Okay? Good? Got a few takes, you know, I don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: know nothing about who's get a fire and who at
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: the drag but a couple of take I had press Well.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: I really appreciated Jerry Jones. He give us such a
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: pride and joy to the stadium all his life with
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys, and I think when I would love to
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: see Cowboys win the super Bowl while he can enjoy it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: But I think that when Steven and the family take over,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: I think the honeymoon is gone because they're gonna go
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: by the book and everything knows straight, you know, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: those fun things that we always free agents, Jerry is
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: gonna get them. The second thing is literally the game
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: we watched all together. After the game, I was thinking
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: about you and Chris. I swear I hope to god,
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Nick and Chris they all have a show on Monday,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: because I could swear you're going to get bombarded and
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: so until, but you showed up in different show. You
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: didn't have a show, which was great. And second, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: think they are a scouting department.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: They really.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Didn't be so effective this year. We could have used it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: The players they choose. I don't know how that goes
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: in there. You know, Jerry paid these people top dollars
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: and now Jim Harbaugh is in San Diego. But maybe
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: he can call him and say, hey, you want to
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Masia Smith and the scowermaker, your boat machine gun guy,
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: the package them and give us a couple of high
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: draffic we can add up and then maybe hopefully we
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: can get them cover decent players this year. But as
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: far as the game, but selling him was that everybody
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: play back. There's not one single source. I can't blame it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: And to defend of the DAG, I think before the
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Tener round was fourteen nothing. I remember the first two
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: play the defense played good, an list that God was
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: a stupid penalty, and the TV the way he showed
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: the game here sometimes you don't see where they're throwing
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: the ball to. The defense runs next thing you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: love through middle of somewhere. I tener Rush that nobody's
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: around this player, So how the hell has happened? But
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I think with the dank Quinn this afternoon, by tomorrow
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: don't I don't know anything, but I think he's going
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: to be in Seattle and the only changes you can
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: have in defense. As much as I love him and
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: appreciate everything he's done, it would be a nice to
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: be able to draft and get you agent combinations to
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: show up the stuff that we need. That's all looked
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: up with you.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Brother, I'm not sure you know the dan Quin's situation,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. I mean, I know everybody kind of
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: keeps assuming that with Seattle, and that makes the most sense.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I think it makes sense for them, you know. And
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: he's won there. He's a defensive coordinator when they won
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so you know, and he's if you sit
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: down with him for two minutes, i mean, well thirty seconds,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you like him, you know, and the players like him
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: as well, So I think it'd be a good fit,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I mean for them. Obviously, the timing of you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys game with the defense and how they played
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: in the playoff and really how they played in the
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: last few games not great, you know, for him. But
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I think his body of work is speaks for itself,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and that even you know, includes the Super Bowl game.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, the Falcons made it to the Super
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Bowl and you know, and had a lead and had
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: a chance to win and should have won the game probably,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and they got beat by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's yeah, I mean, it was it
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: was a sad ending for him. But my point is
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is that I think dan Quinn's body of work is uh,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: it shows that that he's he's he's a really good coach.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: And if he does go as the head coach and see,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think that would be a good fit for
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: him and them, then the Cowboys we'd have to figure
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: out what happens on defense and and and you know what,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: what kind of changes they make. And I've said this before,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: whoever the defensive coordinator is my first question? I mean
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: not even how's your flight? How was how was your
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: your tripping? I mean it's it's Michael Parsons. What are
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: you doing with Michael Parsons? What do you see your
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: scheme doing with him? And that, to me is the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: most important thing for the defense this year, figuring out
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: where to play him and how he can be you know, happy,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and how he can be the most successful, maybe not
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: in that order successful, if he's successful, he'll be happy.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: We know that, all right, Robin Vegas, what's up? Rob?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rob? Thanks for holding You know, I.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: Heard some people say a previous call that I you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: if you changed the head coach, you're in building mode
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: and that's not true. I mean we changed, we went
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: from Bill Pacell's the way Phillips he went thirteen to three.
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: When you have a quarterback, and then let's say it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: I don't see Dak leaving, but if you have a
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: good quarterback, like what Harball is going to do with
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: the charges, he's not rebuilding, he's just tweaking it. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: I think Harball or Belichick could have did that here easily.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: But let's talk about Dak. This Keem only has two
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: options with him. You can't trade him because nobody's going
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: to take him on right because they I don't think
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: there's a team out there that would be willing to
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: write a fifty five million dollars a year check to him.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: And that's what the Cowboys have to think about. What
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: is the number that makes Jerry say, no, I'm not
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: doing this. I mean, is it fifty? Is it fifty two,
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: fifty four, fifty five? Because to me, if it's fifty
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: or plus, I think Jerry should just write it out
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: the final year, eat the fifty nine million on the cap,
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: and go from there and listen. If Dak plays great,
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: we go to the NFC Championship, super Bowl. Okay, you
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: proved me wrong, and then you write the check and
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: you're you know, you're not losing much. But if he
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: if he doesn't, well, okay, audios. But what is the
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: number in your mind that you think big Cowboy's going
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: to say, there's just no way I could do this
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: for this player, and then still think I'm going to
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: get Michael Parsons done, as CD Lamb done, I'm going
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: to have to build the offensive line. He's not Patrick Mahomes.
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: Mahomes does more with less. Most other quarterbacks do not.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Right, there's only one. To me, there's only one quarterback
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: on his level, and that's him. There's nobody else.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: And it's proven. He's the only he's the only quarterback
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: that's won a super Bowl with these max deals. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: call him, where these these fifty MILLLI plus deals, He's
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: the only guy that's won a super Bowl even going
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: back to Aaron Rodgers, gho's that paid fifty million now
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: for a while. And to me, Joe Burrow, Okay, Joe
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: Burrow got to the super Bowl, but that was before
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: he got paid.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this to me is just like Brady and Belichick,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: where you know, when you look at the constance of
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: what they had I mean, they had each other and
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: they had a great tied in and then all the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: other pieces kind of changed here and there, and you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: they had some really good players too, But I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: for the most part, that's kind of what it is.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: And that's what I think Andy Reid in mahomesab with
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: with Kelsey and then they they kind of figure it out,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: you know, running backs, you kind of forget who they
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: are now. When they had Randy Moss for the New
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: England they were really good. I mean they're even better,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: but I mean they don't need all that. But You're
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: right going back to the Dak thing, and I'm not
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: sure I understand the question you're asking about what number
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: wou Jerry say he wouldn't do?
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like like so right now he's he's at forty
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: and we know that Barrow's at fifty five and Jalen
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Hurts is at fifty two. So if you're looking at
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: those two players, do I think Dak is better than
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts? Yeah, I mean, bot of your work. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: think I think the Eagles jumped the gun on him,
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: and I'm glad they did. But I mean, what do
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: you do if DK comes to Jerry. If you're Jerry
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Jose that Dak says, okay, my number starts at fifty six,
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: There'd be no way I could do that. I'd be like, how, yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: you haven't won, you don't win in the playoffs, you're
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: two and five. I'm sorry, you know, And that's what
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: Jerry needs to do. But I don't think he's gonna
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: I think Jerry's you know, he's I don't think Dak
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: press gott taken a Tom Brady deal. I give me
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: forty five.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: I don't see that happening.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Not either. I don't know this. This makes it so hard.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I'd be lying if I said, yeah, this is what
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I think is gonna happen. I think this can go
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: three or four different ways, and it'll probably end up
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: going a fifth way that we hadn't even thought of.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: That's what they're paid to do upstairs, is be be
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: creative about it. So we'll see, we'll see what happens.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: And I heard I heard somebody say something like, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: think it was one of the shows on maybe one
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: o five. They said, well, you could trade that to Atlanta.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: I was watching this episode and I'm like, and you
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: would get three number ones, let's say, and why. I said, well, hell,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: you get three number ones and they're gonna take them.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Why.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: But then the one one of the guys said, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: then you could go sign Kirk Cousins. And the guy goes,
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: what are you crazy? I'd be right back where I started.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: The whole point of trading back is to go draft
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: a Caleb Williams or whoever you think. That's why I
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: would saying the other day, if you could trade Michael
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: Parsons to Chicago or the Chargers, you're only doing that
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: to get your future quarterbacks, not to get an offensive alignment.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Right, So.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll see I guess, yeah, we'll see.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Good thoughts though, all right, Rob appreciate it. Let me
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: get a text question here from Dan and Philly says
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the lack of consistent running game was a huge problem
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: this season. I don't see Pollard being resigned. What are
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on what they do at running back free
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: agency and the draft? Past Cowboys is Benny Barnes. I
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot with Benny Barnes. I mean that
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: was when I was first really watching the team. I
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: think he wore thirty one it's about all I know
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: about Bennie Barnes. He really I didn't really it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit before my time. Cornerback though, I know
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that thirty one, But running back, I think I think
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you'll see a draft pick and a free agent. I
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: think you'll see both. I mean, you have to, you
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: have to, you have to fill the numbers there. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody really that's on the team right now
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: is going to be factored in. I don't they could
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: resign Rico Daddle just kind of just kind of okay
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: with him, you know, I'm just I don't know he's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: He's okay, he's decent. But I mean I think I
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: think you gotta you gotta get some some guys with
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the potential to be special. And so I think you'll
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: see a draft pick and a free agent signing, all right,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Rob in Rio grand Valley, Bob, Sorry Bob and Rio
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: grand Valley got hey, Bob, how are you good?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I need for you to bear with me today. Normally
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'm on and all for the durned quick, but I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: want to get into a little bit of a serious
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: discussion here today at UH. I think uh, I think,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: first of all, at the I'm a big supporter of
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: our head coach. I think Mike has done a terrific
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: job with the personnel that he's had, But with the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: schedule that we've got next year, I'm afraid he's being
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: set up to the perfect storm at Uh. I mean,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: you look at who we're going to be playing next year.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: At I don't see any way in the world that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to win twelve games unless we break the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: mold of that of the past, particularly last year's draft.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: We wasted a year on the draft last year. Molesey Smith,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: it hasn't He might develop, yes, but he was not
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a plug in player. He was not a number one pick,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have been. Scoonmaker was a complete bust. He hasn't
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: done a durned thing. And then we go in the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: sixth or seventh round and we draft the centilemll midget
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to play professional football. That was a wasted draft. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: mean that was we could have used another prospect that
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: might have turned into a player. If this kid's not
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: going to grow up to be five ft ten and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: weigh one hundred and ninety pounds, it's just not in
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: his geens a. He was great for Kansas state. But
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the NFL. We've got to hit it
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the draft this year, and we've got to start out
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: addressing the issues that need to be taken care of.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Well, hold on, hold on, let me let me cut
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: cut you off for a second here, okay, because I'm
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: going to defend this part that that they had a
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: fifth round grade on him on deuce Van and I
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: think that's disrespectful to say that what you said, because
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: they put they picked three or four other guys on
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: top of him, and you know, because they didn't go
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: the sentimental route right then. They waited till the sixth round.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: They had already taken another sixth round pick and Eric Scott.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: They took a couple of guys in the fifth round,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: and they're like, hey, this is a guy we had
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: graded highly. This isn't just because his dad's in our
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: room and we like him. This is the guy that
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: they had. You look at him in the preseason. He
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: was productive, he had people excited, they're selling jerseys and
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: all that. It's not the same in the regular season.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: They figure that out. He didn't play a whole lot.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, okay, six round pick, but this is
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: a guy that they graded highly. So I don't. I don't.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to say that, to say, oh,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: they just picked them. This is what Jerry's doing. They're
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: just drafting guys' skin. All those guys have kids, and
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: then they're not getting picked. You know, John John Steven
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Jones didn't get picked. I mean like that. I just
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that's fair to say that about this just fun.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Well, my opinion is that it was a wasted pick.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: We got to start out in the first round and
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna need a center. We need a big, physical
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: center that can move, that can block, can open up
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: holes for run backs, and we don't have that. It
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: looks like that we're gonna have the possibility to do that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: That first round pick needs to go right there. Second round,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: we need an offensive tackle. We've got a left tackle
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: who is injury prone, he's older, is he's got a
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: limited future. It's time to move. Get yourself a good
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: tackle to put next to Tyler Smith and lock up
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: that side of the line. Third, we need a linebacker.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: We need a physical linebacker that can play from from
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: sideline to sideline and that can fill holes and make tackles.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: That's that's your third round. Fourth round? All right?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: How many rounds be going here?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna have to skip the fourth unless something coming.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Fourth yeah out, all right, seventh round.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Now, we've got to really start digging because we need
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: some help on the defense. We need some help is
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: stopping to run, and that's going to take some really
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: good scouting work. And we and the personnel department and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the scouting department in the home office needs to listen
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to these scouts that are out there watching these players.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: We need to find a gym in the rough. And
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: if we don't draft well this year, I don't care
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: what Mike McCartney does. He's gone and it's had no
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: fault of his own.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the thing. Okay, Bob, thanks for
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the call. It's Mike McCarthy too. You know, guys, and
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I don't say this very often because it has been
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the color has been awesome. But if you can't be respectful,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: if if you don't know what words to say, we
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: don't say maybe please, I'm just asking nicely, don't don't call.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry that that that went longer than it should.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I had some obviously, I didn't agree with with the
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: with the take you're saying about is fun, but also
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the words to describe him, and it's ridiculous. So I
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: that that that can't happen. That can happen again. As
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: for the draft, and and you know last year like this,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: that was these guys did not these these guys did
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: not perform. I mean, we know that everyone sees that.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: The good thing I think you can hang your hat
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: on is that this team does draft well. They draft well,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: did they? You know what this class looks like right
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: now now? It doesn't look like a good class at all.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But but we'll see what happens because they're gonna have
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: to lean on it. But you know, this team does
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: draft well two years ago. Let's don't act like that,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: you know, let's don't act like they don't. They got
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: a fifth round pick that's the Defensive Player of the
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Year finalist, All Pro First first Team Deron Bland. They
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: got a tied end in the fourth round, who I'm
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: just gonna tell you right now is going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: in the Pro Bowl next week. He's not there right now,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: He'll be there. That's what I think. Jake Ferguson will
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: be there. He was a really good So it's not
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: like they don't pick well. They they do. They do.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: This year they did not. They did not, and at
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: least that's what it looks like so far. All right,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: all right, let's go to Marco and Vancouver, Washington.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Act.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: How's it gone?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, how are you?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I'm all right. I'll try not to be as contents,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: but I did.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: He actually kind of stole some of my points. I
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: actually talked to you earlier this year. Heck, trying to
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: get through to you guys, but I called in earlier
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: this year when you asked about one one player to
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: bring back, and I brought up Travis Frederick.
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: So I kind of agree with him as far as
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: we were this year in the draft pick the way
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: I look at it, at twenty four, you know, everybody's
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: gonna talk about offensive linemen, you know, and everybody talks about.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Getting a tackle, and we did. We did good with Tyler,
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: but he was what the fifth maybe best, you know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: and that might be the best tackle on your board
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: left by the time you get down to that pick, right,
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: I'd rather have the best center, which is more likely
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: over one of the top two guards. Yeah available, because
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: you even mentioned it on the I think the call
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: before that about uh Zach and Tyler. You know, they
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: just didn't have to open up those holes. And I
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: don't know it was in the last game of the
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: year against Washington and if you notice, but when Hoffman
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: and and uh oh the other.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Guys, they just they were opened up poles. Now.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: I know Washington was probably they might have been thrown
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: the towel a little bit, but they just those guys
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: are kind of built a little more.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: Stout, you know.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: I like both Zach and Tyler and get it back,
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: but I think if they're going, you know, in the draft,
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: they just need to work up the middle. I was
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: a baseball player, you know, and baseball they always say
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: it's built up the middle, and I kind of feel
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: the same way actually in all sports, really basketball but football,
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: and especially on the defensive side. Yeah, I hear your
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: take there on the linebackers too, you know, they need
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: to get bigger there. And as far as the Dak situation,
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: I think the best bet to do is extend them
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: maybe two years, because in two years you got to
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: pay Micah and you're not gonna be able to pay
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: both Dak and Micah or have them, you know by
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: the time. I mean after that, you think, besides the
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: Dacks contract, what that's going to be is you get
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: too maybe you can get two year run with him
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: before you have to start paying these other guys.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: Otherwise this is going to.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: Go in a total tank rebuild job after that. I mean,
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: if he wants to be competitive with this team beyond
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: the next year, to keeping some of these players, I
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: think that's kind of going to be the limit. And
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: you think about that'll be ten years. If if you
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: can't do it, you know, it's probably worth taking a
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: shot and moving on after that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, you know what though, I agree exactly what
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: you're saying, what you're thinking about with the middle of
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: the of the team. You know, you did the baseball
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: reference there, you know, pitchers, catchers, and obviously centerfield all that,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: but you know, you look at the last three draft picks,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: they've kind of gone that way. I can't remember exactly
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: what they were calling Micah Parsons. I mean, he was
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: a linebacker. I don't know if they were saying he
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: was a middle linebacker. Uh, probably more out outside, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: then he ended up being, you know, an edge rusher
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: for most of the time, but you know, still a
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: linebacker that they were going to have there sort of
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: in the middle. And then they had Tyler Smith and
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: then Mazzie Smith.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what's so ironic about the the
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Mazzie Smith thing is that was out of their comfort zone.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: That pick. I mean, they hadn't drafted a first round
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle since Russell Maryland in nineteen ninety one, first
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: overall pick. And then they then Mazzie Smith. I mean,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: that wasn't that wasn't a position that they've ever really
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: addressed like that. But they're like, hey, got to fix
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: the run. We have to fix this run. We're going
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: to resign Jonathan Hankins and then get into the draft
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: and then you know, let's get this guy strong as
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: an ox and he'll come in here here and he'll
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: he'll help us. And that just did not happen. It
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: did not, and that's a surprise to a lot of people.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: But but but I mean it's a move that they went,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: like I said, you know, out of their their comfort
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: zone a little bit. And yeah, you look at it
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: now and you can say, oh, man, you know, they
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: could have taken Laporta. Of course Laporta's probably he doesn't
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: have the year he had in Detroit, you know, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Ferguson doesn't have the year he had here. So you know,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I think that it is what it is there, you know.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I mean I look at the Miami running back eight
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Chan that that would have been nice probably, you know. Uh,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a guy that they were looking
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: at maybe in the third round, uh, maybe before they
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: took over Shown and maybe speaking of him, maybe Overshow
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: is a guy that can sort of save the draft class.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you need linebacker help. Here's a guy that
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: that's coming back. You know that when I when I
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: think of the team, I think of the defense, you know,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: you look at it and you say, they got an
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: All Pro that didn't play in and Travon Diggs and
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens he comes back and and
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: where he's ready to go. And then Overshown as well,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to help. All right, let's
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: go to uh text line Trey. He's in Charlottesville, Virginia,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: currently resigning in Louisiana. Hey, Nick, love the show and
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: your work. Thank you. These are my top two needs.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Center and linebacker, What do you think you'd rather get
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: a VET versus draft to solve the need? Oh Man,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: When I think of centners though, and I think I
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: see Jason Kelcey and some guy in Buffalo, you know,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and got this. I mean there's just just that look,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you got that look that center, look got
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: the beard hanging out them, you know, and the helmet.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, and they had that guy, right, Travis Frederick.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was sort of that guy. That's just
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: what I think, just this just strong, lumberjack type guy.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: And so I'd like to see a veteran. But then again,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: everybody wants to keep their center. So if he's a
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: veteran free agent, then what's the deal? You know, what's
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: what's that's the prob I mean, just go look at
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: be honest, is probably gonna be one of the top centers,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: and I think the Cowboys are going to move on there.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: So the draft might be your your best bet there. Linebacker,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I think at this point, both free agency and draft
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: with linebacker, the needs just need to be there. Again,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of this is gonna determined by what happens
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: at the coordinator position. If if Dan Quinn leaves for
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: another head coaching job. Then you know who comes in
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: and what style do they play, and then that could
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: change a lot of things. Another text question Jason from Pennsylvania.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: With head coaching positions being filled, what's your gut feeling
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: on dan Quinn being back? Well, I unless something happened
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: in the last five minutes about Seattle. I mean, I
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: still kind of think that could be the case, but
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I think something, you know, I I still just feel
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: like dan Quinn will not be back. I just think
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: he's going to get a position. That's what my gut
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: feeling says about it. But again, I don't know what's
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: happening up there and then Seattle or really any of
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: these places. Let's go to Bruce and Houston.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how you doing, Buddy good?
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: How are you Hey?
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: Thanks for being kind to that caller. I've heard him
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: before too. He had a good take. I don't sounded
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: like an older guy. You should have asked how old
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: are you?
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: And then if he.
• 47:05
  Speaker 10: Said seventy, oh, well we shouldn't listen to seventy people
• 47:08
  Speaker 10: because you're too old. But yeah, yeah, another story, but
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: you defended him, well.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you know those vun It didn't really work like
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: like we thought that it might, you know, I know,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: it was kind of exciting there in preseason, but then
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: you got to remember the guys that were you know
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that he that were not tackling him were probably not
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: in the NFL ian He was third, third, fourth quarter
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: to get it. But uh, you know, I mean, everybody's
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: kind of excited about it. He was doing some things,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: and he showed some things at training camp too, you
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: know where, but it just did. It didn't work, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: maybe it's still maybe it will, you know, I mean,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: what did you do? Was freshman year at Kansas State,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know what I mean, I.
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: Know, but if you look at his stats in Kansas State,
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: my god, they compared him with h B.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: John Robinson.
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: It wasn't too far off from it. He just didn't
• 47:58
  Speaker 10: have the physical part of it. Look, he's a good player,
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: he's a gadget player. Philo deput team Westbrook or whatever
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: that guy was. Sprolls was another guy that just got
• 48:08
  Speaker 10: I hated it was hard to tackle.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think we used him.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Let me say this about Westbrook and Sprolls. Those guys
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: there there legs, I mean they're like tree trunks. Okay,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: those guys are I mean and built differently than than Deuce.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, look at I look at a guy
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: like Danny Woodhead, you know, a few years ago. I
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: don't know if you remember him New England and then
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: also the Chargers. You know, a guy like that has
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: to develop a little bit. I don't think they're gonna
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: give up on him, but you know, yeah, but the
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: whole I mean, why why are we picking on him?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, Junior for Hoko, fourth round pick didn't do
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: anything awesome. Richards fifth round pick really didn't do anything.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: So Jalen Brook, I mean, your best rookies were guys
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: you didn't draft t J. Basson Hunter. LOOKI those are
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: the two best rookies, correct. And I thought Aubrey was
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: considered a rookie. The NFL is now saying he is
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: a first year player either way. Either way, that was
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: a heck of a fine too, no doubt.
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: So my opinion on that, I agree with you, Linebacker,
• 49:03
  Speaker 10: but I think you need to go get free agents
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: linebackers because that's a tough position to learn on the
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: fly as a rookie, and because I think they're going
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: to be all chips in next year. McCarthy may be
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: called the lame duck, but you know, so what it is?
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: What of this?
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: If they were smart, they'd say, hey, you give me
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: one more year. If I don't make it to the
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: championship game, you ain't got fire me. I'll quit. Of
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: course they'll never say that, but and Dak are to
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: do the same thing too. I like, I've been reading
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: about redoing this contract just so that they can pay
• 49:34
  Speaker 10: him upfront.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: They still have to pay him.
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: But this needs to be his last year. If he
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: doesn't get us to the championship game, let him walk
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: and take Trey Lance or a draft pick, and you know,
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: at least at least we'll be.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: Done with that.
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: I do kind of like that idea someone mentioned about
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: Michael Parsons trading him to Chicago or somebody for a
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: top draft pick. That might be hard to do and
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: the fans would hate it, but might be a smart
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: thing to do. But I would go if I was drafting,
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: I would go offensive tackle first, because it's a big,
• 50:06
  Speaker 10: big group in this year's draft, and if we could
• 50:09
  Speaker 10: get that Powers kid the center with your second piece
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: tecond pick, even if you had to bump up, you know,
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: a sixth rounder to get in front of it. Then
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: you've made your offensive line of power again. You still
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: got Tyler Smith, uh fairly young, and then you've got
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: a young center and a young tackle.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: So even if you did have to go new.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: With a new quarterback, then in at least you'd have
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: some young guys to build. But you've got a big
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: one and put some weight back on Mazie Smith. I
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: don't know why they made him go younger. So I
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: kind of hope dan Quinn gets the Seattle job. My
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: last question, I'll hang up. Do you think that'll go
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: after quin? Is it Martindale from the Giants?
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: I thank you. I think he'll I think if that happens,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I mean I could see a an older veteran coordinator,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: maybe not one of the younger guys, so I, you
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: know his name is would be on the list for sure.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: It's hard to kind of get ahead of that because
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: it's you know, you still you know who knows because
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: dan Quinn comes back and then he'll be back. But
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: either way, if he comes back, it means your head coach,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: your quarterback, your offensive coordinator, your defensive coordinator are all back. Okay,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I'm all for continuity, but what's going to be different?
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Tell me what is different? Something has to be different,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: you just have and not so much for those guys.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: For you guys, you guys, it has to be different.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: It has to be They have to figure out how
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: to do something that a wow move or something to
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: get people excited. And I think people are viewing the
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: dan Quinn situation as much as they'd like dan last
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: two years, they were afraid he was going to leave.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: This year, I think it's just because they wanted to
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: see something different. You want to you want to say,
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: all right, well, at least we can bank on this.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe this year this guy's gonna do something
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: a little different with parsons or or have a different
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: scheme when it comes to the run, defense of the
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: linebackers or whatever. So I think that's kind of why
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I hear people thinking kind of hope he takes a job,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: just because they want to see something different. And I
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: don't blame I mean, I'd be great if dan Quinn
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: came back. But all I'm saying is something's got to change.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: You've got to figure out how to make make this different,
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: and we'll see, we'll see what happens. All right, good show, guys,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: appreciate it with less on the callers here. Uh, you
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: guys are talking a little bit a little bit more,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: which is fine. You got things to say. But that's
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: that's great, good stuff. As always. We'll be back next Tuesday,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: for sure. Next Tuesday. Maybe not Thursday. I'm uh they'll
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: be might be uh in the super Bowl in Vegas
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: for that day, the NFL Honors Day, So I'm not
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: sure about the Thursday show. Maybe we'll move into a
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: different day, but definitely Tuesday we'll be back. We'll be
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: talking about NFC championship and who's going to the super Bowl,
• 53:08
