  Speaker 1: The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: This these Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman, What.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Is up everyone? We are back Cowboys storyline feels like
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: it's been a long time, especially now we're doing these
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: shows once a week. It feels a long time ago
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: since it was last Tuesday when we did the show.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Here we are Tuesday, January twenty third. We're back to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the weekly format. Of course, storyline we're getting to go
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: twice a week. We go on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: one o'clock. It's been a while since I've said good
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: afternoon on a storyline. We did that back in training camp.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Of course, different time slots mean different schedules for you guys.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of curious on a week and a half,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: some of the same colors that we had before, maybe
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we pick up some new callers, maybe a little bit
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of both. So excited about that. The best part about
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the one o'clock for me, maybe not for Chris Beam
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in the back, is that we really don't have another
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: show behind this here like we've had in the past.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Of course, with the ten o'clock timeslot. We had cowboys
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: break there at eleven, you know, and had brought us
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: coming through the door and Derek looking at his watch.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we don't have that right now, so we
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: can we can't go longer. If we need to, we'll
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: see what happens there. So the plan is to go
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: about an hour, but you know, if the if the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: phones are ringing off the hook, we we'll stay for
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit as long as Chris doesn't have to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: leave or anything like that. So that's kind of that's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: kind of the reason why we went to the afternoon
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: see if we can have a little bit longer show,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: give you guys an opportunity to call in, because I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: sure you have things to say, a lot going on,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: even though there's not a lot going on, you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And that's what's weird about the off season. There's always things,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the questions to answer. There's all stuff happening. But what
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you want to be happening is playing for an NFC
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: championship game. Again, I don't know anything about that. All right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: let's get going here. Eight eight eight eight five five

  Speaker 2: one seven two nine zero three two ninety eight. We're
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: gonna try to stay on the text line as well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: We know a lot of people that can't call that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: they like to throw their opinions out there as well,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: so we're monitoring that as well. But we'll start with
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the phones. We'll go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: what's up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon, sir.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: How are you well?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: We had an inclement weather day, so I'm a substitute teacher.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Oh we're so.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I'm off.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I had just got done telling you on your last show.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It's like, hey, I don't think I can call on
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Tuesday afternoons.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can, luck. Yeah, they're in Kansas City, Missouri.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Just also the show me state, just in case anyone's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: keeping track of that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: In case anybody wants to say, it's California.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hey that's that was That was a heated exchange.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: My guy was upset, and I don't blame him. A
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: lot of people are upset.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I was. You know, I was pissed off too, So
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I get it. What do you got, Brian? What's on
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I just got a couple of things for you today.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: So one is I want your opinion, and then I
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: want to know what you think the Cowboys are going
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to do. What's your And then I got a player
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: that I'd like to hear a little bit more, an
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: older player that I want to hear.
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: Something about it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: So for me, I don't think it's even close. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: thought it should have been offensive line last year. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: want offensive line. I want front and center this offseason.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Literally and.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I you know I told you last year. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: when they took Schoonmaker instead of Osyrus Torrens in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: second round, I smashed my remote. Yeah, I couldn't believe,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: like every pundit in the world said the biggest need
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: for the Cowboys was offensive line, and they didn't do it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: And you know that's that's That's what I'm I'm hoping
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: for that one of these that I've listened to enough
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of the draft shows on You Guys and g bag
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Nation to hear that that it's a really good tackle
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: class and there's some really good centers. So I'm hoping
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that's so. But I want to know what your priorities
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: are and then what do you think the Cowboys are
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: going to do? And then for my old time player,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stick with my guns on. I love
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: hearing about people that work there. How about any story
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you got on Danny McCrae, man, and I'll hang up,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: have a great one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Well, that's funny you say that because I just finished
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: lunch maybe seven minutes ago, ten minutes ago with Danny McCrae,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: who he's a boy where I start with that, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: let me wait on that one often line. I agree
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: with you that it's a it's a priority. It's going
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to be a priority. And the interesting thing about what
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the team is going to do is, you know, it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: tough because you you still don't know. You know, free
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: agency comes first, so they always like to put band
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: aids on certain positions just so you don't have to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: go into a draft going we have to get this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: because you don't want nobody wants that. That's when people
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: will jump ahead of you in the trade and all that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: If everyone knows you need this and whether they're going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to be picking twenty four, it's not good to be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: saying I need anything unless it's like a kicker or
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a punter or something like that, which you know you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: know you're gonna get first DIBs on. But even at center,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: if there is a guy there. I mean, everyone needs
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a good center too, So if there's a really good
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: quality center, he may not last that long. I think
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that they will. I think they'll go to offensive line,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you know, early in the draft. I mean for a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: second or third round. They're gonna, they're gonna they have
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to you know, they have to keep getting offensive line.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But it's just really hard to answer draft questions in
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: January knowing that you don't know who your center is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: going to be. Be honest, is a free agent. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: don't think he returns. I don't. I think he goes
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and gets money somewhere else. And I think that deep
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: down they'll be fine with that. At running back, don't know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, who knows, who knows who the running back is.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if running back's a good spot there
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: at twenty four either this particular year. But I personally,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I would just keep throwing resources at that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: offensive line because you have to run the football better.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And I think that you can do a better job
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of running the ball by fixing the line than you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: can if you try to go get this dynamic back.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Because if he's that dynamic that can run through a line,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that's just okay, he's not lasting until twenty four.
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I think we saw that last year a couple of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: running backs went in the top twelve. I think teams
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: are looking at value of really good backs, and I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: not even sure there is that type of back in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: this draft. Danny McCrae question on Danny McCray. I mean, god,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: there's there's so many. I mean, I really really liked
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: him as a player. You know, we've got to know
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: him now a little bit. He's an outstanding, outstanding person.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, I just remember I remember talking to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: him and he was like, you know, he was an
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: undrafted free agent and I was like, wearing number forty. Huh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: undrafted from an SEC school number forty. And he was like, yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: got big suites to fill. And he was like, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. I was like, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Bill Bates, special team star, you know number forty played
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: at Tennessee. You know. He was like, no, he never
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: heard of Bill Bates. He's like, no, not really, but uh,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you know, and why would he?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: But then he goes and leads the team and special
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: teams tackles two years in a row, and you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it started being mentioned in the same sentence with guys
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that have done it, like Bill Bates, and so I
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: certainly grew an appreciation for that. But I could probably
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: tell ten fifteen funny stories of Danny McCrae. And you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I actually pick his brand sometimes because I'm like, you're
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: on the challenge, you know, you're on with you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I used to watch those MTV challenges and Real World
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: road Rules all that stuff, and you know he's on
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: here doing these challenges with with some of these people
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that used to watch on TV. I think that's kind
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of cool too. So anyways, that's Danny McCrae. All right,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: let's go, let's move on. Let's go to Joe and Stamford.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: What's up, Joey Nick? I'm good. How are you doing?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You made it one o'clock?
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I took a hiatus from all Cowboys media.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: In fact, I didn't even finish watching the game until
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: last night. Yeah, about the middle of the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: Third quarter, I got up.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: I don't ever do that, but I just couldn't take
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: it anymore. I was really pissed off.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It looked like a week later, well.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: It's still like crap.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, but like, oh, Jake Ferguson touchdown.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: You know, I mean I was like, well that was decent.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: What you know some of the stuff that happened, But
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: they were playing against a second stringers an umbrella defense,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: and yeah, I mean, I don't take a lot from that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: I'll be honest with you. You know, I was glad to
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: see Michael Gallup get a little bit more looks. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: think it was cool that Dak sort of said, Okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: it's CD and I can't figure this out. I've got
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: to turn to somebody. And the fact that he went
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: to Gallop shows how he feels about him. So I
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: think that's a positive thing. And I do agree. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: think Michael will be coming back this year. Two things
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: I wanted to cover. I've got a bunch of things,
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: but we've got the whole off season to talk. So
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: the first thing is the coaching. So you know, whether
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: we agree or disagree, you know, Mike McCarthy's coming back,
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: and it looks.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Like Dan Flint'll come back if he doesn't get a
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: new job.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: I don't know how I feel about any of that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: The things that bug me the most about the coaching is, well,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know if the most, it's old, it's everything
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: pretty much. So not only did we get totally dominated
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: x'es and o's wise, but we have had an absolute
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: lack of discipline the entire season, and it has been
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: a story year after year of being one of the
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: most highly penalized teams in the NFL. So I'm really
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: sick of that. I don't feel like they're being held accountable.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: I don't know if Mike can figure out the lack
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: of discipline thing, the x is and O thing. I think,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: you know, really studying these teams that are that are
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: game planning so much better and beating just literally wide
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: open crazy, how wide open those guys were getting. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: the fact that our defense, I mean is just crazy
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: on both sides of the ball. How bad we got
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: out coach, you know that part of it, I think
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: they can figure out. But the lack of discipline thing,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: it seems like he would have figured that out by now.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: And you know, you can only go back to the coaches, man,
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: you can only go back to them.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've wrestled with that for for twenty years. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: don't know what you do with discipline issues, with on penalties.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is in high school. I mean laps,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I mean what, I don't know. I really don't know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: benching players are the.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: Whole men accountable now because it's just generation generationally a
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: different thing. So what Mike might have done fifteen to
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: twenty years ago to twenty five year old men, he.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Just can't do now, I think.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So I don't think they put enough emphasis saying just
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys. I think some teams don't put as much
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: emphasis on getting players that understand the game, that really
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: understand that are playing that like football, because there's guys
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: out there that don't really like football, but they're good
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: at it and they can play it, but they don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: really understand the games. They don't understand situational football. They
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: don't understand that it's not okay to hit a player
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in the face here because he said a name to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you or whatever, and it's third and twelve and now
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you're back on the field. I don't think. I don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: think sometimes the Cowboys have the smartest players out there
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: in certain situations, and that's something you can figure out
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in the draft. You know, that should be a tiebreaker
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to me. So I don't know.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: We do good on talent, but yeah, that, and character wise,
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: I think we struggle. I'll be honest with you. The
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: most talented player on the team is extremely low character
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: in my opinion. Now it may just be a maturity
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: thing or whatever, but I have been highly disappointed in
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Michael Parsons, the way he talks about his teammates, the
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: way he's always trying to recruit better players onto the team.
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: I think the best thing Mikey could do this offseason
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: is to learn how to shut his mouth and gain
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: a little bit of maturity in character. And I think
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: that goes right along with everything else that I see
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: with this team is a lot of talent, not a
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: lot of character, not a lot of discipline, and it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: getting old. I mean, I'm never going to stop rooting
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: for the Cowboys, but man like, I can't even be
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: around people when I watch the games because it pixs
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: me off so much sometimes, and I know that's weird
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: to be so, I mean, I can't help but to
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: root for him, but I want to have joy from it,
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: not anger. And that sucks to be so pissed off
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: about the thing you care the most about.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So why are the things all right? Joe?
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: Let's be quick Okay, you know what, Yeah, we'll just.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's okay, let's let's let's be quick about it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Let's go Okay, So, I don't see how we're gonna
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: sign Dak, CD and Mica to the max contracts that
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: they're all going to demand. I just don't see it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: I don't know what the solution is. I know everybody
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: thinks that that they're wizards as far as the tower
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: cap goes. But I just don't see how we can
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: sign all three of those guys. And if I had
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: my choice, I get to number one from Michael Parsons
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: and move on.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: All right, A good day?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks? Oh I'm not touching that one right now.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know, they don't have to sign those guys to
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: max deals this year. They don't have to sign any
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of them to any of any contract this year. Those
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: three guys, it is going to be a challenge.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: They could probably sign one or two of them and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: maybe create some space maybe CD. So you really don't
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: have to do that right now. All right, A lot
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of stuff to touch there, we will. I think that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: was probably more just venting than anything. Good stuff though. Always.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: All right, let's let's get let's go to a text
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: question before we get on the line here. This is
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: from Dan and Philly. He says, the only thing worse
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: than Cowboys early exit to the playoffs storyline only twice
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a week. Appreciate that, but if you think about it,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: most of these other shows are going once. So I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: feel like it's a treat for us to go twice.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you guys see it that way. He says, if
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: if Quinn does leave, how does this effect the rest
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: of the defensive staff. I would imagine he'll be taking
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: some of them with him and his blast with the passes.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Alfredo Roberts, Fredo Roberts, I didn't really cover him. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: he Miami guy, for sure. He knew the a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: of those guys, uh and the Jimmy you know coaches
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and Michael Irvin and all those stuff. But it seems
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: like they always had like a second or third tight
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: end that was you know, that didn't do a whole lot,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: blocked a lot, and then every once in a while
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: we'll catch a touchdown pass. All right, defensive coaches, Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I think if Dan does leave, I think he'll take home.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: They'll have to decide if one of these coaches going
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to be the coordinator here? You know, would it be
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: a Joe Witt, would it be Al Harris? Maybe does
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he take somebody with him? Yeah, a lot of a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: lot of moving parts here for sure. All right, let's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: go Rob in Vegas. Hey, Nick, what's up?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Well he's back.
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: We knew McCarthy was going to come back, even though
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: I didn't want him back. But I knew Jevy wasn't.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: Jeffy wants to be comfortable. He wants to win, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: being comfortable is more important right now. And he only
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: made two uncomfortable moves his whole life as owner with
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: Jimmy and Bill Parcells, because he needed something in return.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: The rest of you hid some scrub coaches if you
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: really think about it, Chan Gaily and Dave Campbell had
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: no business being a coach for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this isn't one of those situations, you know.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, I don't think this is that this.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: Is well, I think it is. I think it's let's
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: say say you had two great coaches available, Harbaugh and Belichick,
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: which is never happens. And if you're not gonna if
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: you're not going to pull the trigger, on those two
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: guys and you're sticking with McCarthy, then, to me, you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: just afraid to change it. You don't want to, you
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: don't want to be uncomfortable at eighty years old.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Or whatever he is.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: And I get it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: I mean, he's the owner of the team and this
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: is what we see for thirty years. But you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: I also have changed my mind after watching the playoffs
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: and watching these teams. I always felt you needed a
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: top quarterback to win in this league, and I don't
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: believe that anymore. I think the best model now is
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: what the forty nine ers do. You build a really
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: good roster on both sides of the ball. You put
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: in a good quarterback who's not killing you money wise,
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: and that's the way you should build a team. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: that's what the Cowboys should do should They should Number
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: one turn around and see if they could trade Michael
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: Parsons in the off season. Call up Chicago. We don't
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: know if Chicago's keeping justin Field. Call up Chicago and
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: call up the Chargers who are drafting fifth and you
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: know they're not taking a quarterback, and say, hey, what
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: would it take for me to get your spots? I'll
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: give you Micaeh Parsons and whatever, and then you could
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: go get your number one quarterback. You let that play
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: out the rest of his contract, because there's no way
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: you could pay this guy fifty five plus million. There's
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: only one quarterback that's delivered making that kind of money,
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: and that's Patrick Mahomes. The rest have not. We'll see
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: what Lamar Jackson does, you know, but that's the only
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: quarterback that justifies his money. Everybody else just spitting their
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: wheels and getting eaten alive by the salary cap. And
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: I just think if you could make that happen, I
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: think that's the way that they could build a team.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: We saw when you surround that just needs too much help.
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: I mean, leading rush is leading wide receives just too
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: much and then it leaves too many other holes. So
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, look at Baker Mayfield. I don't know what
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: Baker Mayfield is going to demand in the off season,
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: thirty maybe, but heck, I would rather have a thirty
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: million dollar Baker Mayfield than a sixty million dollar with
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: Dak Prescott. So I just think that's a better model.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: It's a more sustainable model than having a quarterback who
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: God for Forbiddy gets hurt like Aaron Rodgers did, I mean,
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: or what second play season's over? But if you had
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: a really good team built around them, maybe you could
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: weather that war. But the Cowboys I think need to
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: think about that. I know they're probably not going to
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: because Jerry wants to be relevant for seventeen weeks, and
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: I think he fields. You know, if I'm in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: hunt for seventeen weeks, I get to the playoffs, that's
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: you know, I'm on TV a lot, and I'm I'm
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: in the conversation a lot longer than three weeks in
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: the playoffs.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I think there's more to it than that, though, Honestly, Rob,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not about being relevant, it's about giving
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: your It's about I don't think he sees it that way.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I think you're kind of saying the same thing. I
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: think he's trying. He wants to have a good, a
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: really good football team that gives himself a chance, uh
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: So you but we don't have a really good team.
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: We have really good players, but we.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Don't have a good team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: We don't have any linebackers, we don't have a good
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: defensive line.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: Maybe on third and eight. We thought we did, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: we didn't. At the end, Micah Parsons needs to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: playing middle life. If you're keeping him, he needs to
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: go back to the middle linebacker.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: He fixes your run game and he could still rush,
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: and he fixes your pay Because I'm just going to
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: say this to then to get thirty million dollars.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to say this, he doesn't want to
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: No, I know he doesn't. And that's why I say
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: get on that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And that's a problem. That's a problem.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, get on the phone with Chicago and
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: see what see if they're keeping just the fields, get
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: on the phone with the Chargers and say, hey, would
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: you be interested in giving up your fifth pick for
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: Michael Parsons? And I don't know, maybe i'd choy something
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: else in because you're right, he's going to want to
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: be a defensive end at two hundred and forty five pounds,
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: which he cannot do for seventeen games. He could do
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: it for the first eight to nine, and then he
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: always tails off because he wants to get thirty million
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: dollars a year. And then if you say to Mike, okay,
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: you want to be defensive end. You got to gain
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: thirty pounds. Well, then he's not the same guy. So
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: for me, you have to put him at middle linebacker.
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: And now you're gonna have a disgruntled guy that we
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: already see. He's immature. So that's my thing.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Shop it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: See what happens.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the call, Rob, And you're right.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I mean I saw a stat. Somebody showed me this
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: stat the other day that they found. I didn't find this,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure you guys have seen some of it too.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Mike has got forty sacks in his career, and thirty
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: two of them have come in September, October and November.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: In thirty three games that he's played in September, October
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: and November in the I think it's twenty something games.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Twenty four games he's played in December and January may
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: only be twenty. He only has eight sacks. His eight
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: sacks in December and January thirty two in the first
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: three months. So I don't know. Is he is he
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: wearing down? I mean that's that. It sure does look
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: like it, you know when you think about that, in
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: his three seasons. But all right, let's go to Dylan
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: in Northport, Florida. What is up? I love it that honestly, man,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: this is what I love. We switched the show. We
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: switched it up from ten in the morning to one,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and I've gotten four calls so far, and I'm not
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: sure who else is gonna call, but I've got probably
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the four guys, four of the guys. I don't mean
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to leave people out, but when you when you think
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of it, and I'm gonna come up with I'm gonna
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: do this. I'm gonna have the all storyline team, first year,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: first annual, like Madden. We're gonna have the all storyline team.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: And I could promise you these four people that have called,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: including yourself, are going to be on it. So hell yeah,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: that's what I love. I love the fact that you guys, Hey,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: what time one o'clock? All right, I guess I'll wait
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a few hours. We're in so sorry, but that's good.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Good to see. You know. We're gonna get some first
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: time callers maybe at some point, but right now we've
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: got we got the we got the vets of the crew.
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it'd be cool if we have like a I
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: don't know how you make this working up like a
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: round table with some of the guys that call in
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: off that that'd be kind of neat. I don't know
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: how that would work, but maybe kind of neat to
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: talk to everybody. But I even had to reschedule the
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: meetings today to jump on his call. So appreciate. I'm dedicated.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, move move things around.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, of course I want to talk about something that
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: Joe Anne Rob said. So first off, Joe, I think
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: in order to sign those players you talked about, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: have to extend back because if you cut back, well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: now you got dead money and that's not good. If
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: you don't extend back, you've got the sixty million dollars
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: to deal with and maybe you can still get CD done,
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: but now you're gonna have problems down the trough and
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: you're gonna lose some really quality depth, which I think
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: this team for the most part, has done a good job.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: You look at some of the injuries we had, especially
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: in the secondary, and they build good depth, so you
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: don't want to lose anything there. And then Rob actually
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: had a point there that I did a study a
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: few years back, and if you look at the quarterback
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: deals over the past, like fifteen years, every quarterback that
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: wasn't named Mahomes or Brady, every single one of them.
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: Their cat pit was less than twenty million for that season,
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: and somewhere on rookie deals right somewhere veterans that signed elsewhere,
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: but GMS, I mean, that takes a lot of gonats
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: to cut a franchise quarterback if you have one, right, Like,
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: it's too dangerous to not have a franchise quarterback. So
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: you cut that guy and now you're in quarterback wasteland.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: For three years.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: Well you're gone or Jerry that's that's a different story here.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: But that's tough to do across the league.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: It's it's what you should do.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: Probably it's with the numbers indicate, but too tough to
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: do well.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: The question is Dylan and an elephant in the room
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: is the question is do you have one? Like? Like,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: is Dac is Dak a franchise quarterback? That's what I think.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: That's where I think a lot of fans are wondering
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: and that they think he's not. Some think he is,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: But I mean, that's that's kind of the issue, is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: that is he that guy? You know? Yeah?
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, let's uh, if you look at some of the quarterbacks.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: As I was thinking about this exact question. It's funny
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: you mentioned that, look at some of the all time
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: greats that we just got passed or you know, are
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: just getting past now, like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, some
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: of these guys that their names will go down on
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: history as some of the best have one ring. They've
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: only won the Big Game once. And the key I
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: think is to stay competitive and hope that all comes
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: together for one season, maybe two if you're if you're
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: super lucky, maybe you get to and then obviously have
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: the unicorns like Mahomes and Brady and those guys. But
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: I mean to find those guys. It's a lottery ticket,
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: you know, And that's too tough. But you have to
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: just stay competitive. And if you get rid of Dak,
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: what's the plan you're gonna go with Trey Lance? Okay,
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: well he's already moved on from one team. You have
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: no idea what you have there. You're going to draft
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: a quarterback. You're going to trade up a bunch of capital.
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: Now you're in rebuild note and you're going to trade
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: a bunch of draft capital for a first round guy.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: And the high high, you know, maybe top five, top ten,
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: and who knows, the te pans out. So I think
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: them extending deck is the right call. Now, I hope
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: they do it in a way that's friendly, so we're
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: not in the situation again a couple of years down
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: the road where we have to do something with Dak.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: We don't really have a choice. But I think extending
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: deck is the right call because you have to stay
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: competitive and hope for one season it all comes to
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: other like it did for some of the other guys.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, that's good. That's good thought there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: All right, Dylan, appreciate the call. You know, thanks for
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: moving meetings around and readjusting your schedule a little bit.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. You know, the deck contract is just
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: it's got it. It's the first to meet. Well, the
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: head coach is probably the first domino there, and they
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: figured that out. But then now it's it's it's under that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: What do they do there? You know, because this is
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: not an easy situation because you know, yes, football is
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: about business and all that stuff, making business decisions. But
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you know, by not doing any kind of extension, by
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: just playing it out, you know, then that sends a
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: message message as well to Dak. You know, hey, we're
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: gonna just we're gonna do it this way, and you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: if you have a great year, we'll talk after, you know.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: And it's always I don't think. I don't know if
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: it's lame duck. I don't have I don't like saying
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: lame duck quarterback when you're making almost sixty million. You know, oh,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: poor Dak. You know, like, I don't think anyone's gonna
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: be doing that. But still, you know, it's and also
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: even if you say, oh, well, let's do an extension,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have to agree to that. You know, he's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: he's got the leverage here, and so you know they're
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: gonna have to handle it the right way. So I
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: go back and forth on this. Sometimes I think they're
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: not going to do anything, and then other times I
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: think they'll get closer to free agency and they'll be like,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: we got to do something here, we got to do
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: something with Dax deal, Let's extend them, Let's let's get
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: this thing, you know, let's let's move move on, you know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: with a two or three more years down the road.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: And then and then also we can you know, function
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: more this year and get some you know, get some
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: more depth and free agents in here to be competitive.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Of me.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I wrote an article the other day that this team
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: has to make a splash. They have to they have
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: to do that this year. Forget this whole you know,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: And I said it, I mean, forget this my I mean,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: even though it's my favorite song of all time, all time,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: this is how we do it. By Montell Jordan. You
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: cannot have a this is how we do it mentality.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: When you when you go into free agency this year,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: this is not like, well, this is what we always do.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: This is what we you know, this is our plan.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: We we we focused more on the draft. We're gonna
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you're not you know, gonna get value deals on freegency. No, no,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: not this year. Bs. No, You've got to go make
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: a move. There's someone out there. Go do it. You
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: did the Gilmour move, cooks great, Do it again and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: do it better, you know, get better players. Go get
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a Rokwan Smith type of move. Go find who's out
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: there and their last year of their deal, somebody that's
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: probably going to be hit free agency next year, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: go get go get those players. You need players now.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm not saying a band in the draft.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying, look at what happened last year, and
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: look look at look at what you got. I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: you got more value off of the trades than you did,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you know, actually drafting players. And they're not going to
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: go away from that. But I do think that in
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: this win now mentality, they need to think about, you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: getting some some players in free agency more than they
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: have in the past. I think they have to be
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: aggressive this year. And I'm sure Mike would want to
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: do that because you know, Mike doesn't have a contract
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: for next year, so why why build for the future.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, so I think the approach will be different.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Jeff in North Carolina.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: What's up? Man?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Not much, man, I I've been trying to process all
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: this for two weeks and I tried to call last Tuesday. Man,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: it's just there's just no way I was getting in.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: That was a I listened to it. I try. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: think I died one hundred and seventeen times striving.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: It was everybody was really upset, and I was to you, Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: but you just touched on some things I've been thinking
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: about and as far as the roster and everything, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: I agree, you cannot run this thing back the same
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: way again. It's something has to change. And uh and
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I wish I'm with you kind of a little bit
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: on what you was thinking too about Dak. I wish
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: that we could stomach that. You know, that that that
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: cap hit just because of what you're saying. You know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: I've called you all year. You know, I like that.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I love that, But it's just, you know, but it's
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: just the business part of it. And maybe it's possible they.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Could They could do it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: You know, you know the Rams, the Rams went all
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: in two years ago, won the Super Bowl. Then they
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: had to cut some guys, and it was kind of
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: down last year, but then it was right back in
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: the playoffs this year. And uh so I think it
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: can be done. It's you know, but but you know
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: it would you know, you just have to make some
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: tough decisions on some guys. But I do want to
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: touch on one thing Rob said. One thing I do
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: kind of agree is I think they do get comfortable sometimes.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: And and I was fine with bringing Mike back if
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: because all you heard, if they let him go, they
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: was gonna get belichicked or harballing, and I don't want
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to know that again to me. The
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Cowboys to get out of this rut, they got together
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: their comfort zone. Now, if you could have told me
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: they was gonna bring one of these young up and
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: coming coordinators from some one of these other teams, I
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: would be fine with that. And but I know Jerry
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: a little bit out of Jerry's comfort zone. And and
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: you know, I just but I feel that's what Scott Chain.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I think I have to look at everything. Maybe we
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: don't need to go to California and train, Maybe we
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: need to train back.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'm just throwing stuff out. And Nick, you know
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not you know, I'm like everybody. I'm searching for solutions.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: That's one of them, ain't it. Yeah, I don't know. Man,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: be Beam jumps in too, like like you know, it's
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: one of those things too, where like you know, your
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: your wife calls and you're like, god, it's like one
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty degrees at home, you know, and you're like,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You know, you have like a sweatshirt on,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: it's like sixty one degrees. You know, You're like I'm
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: sorry about that. I don't know about that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I don't know either.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, I'm just the one.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Stuff out there. Man.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Feel like something's got They gotta change some much.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: They want super Bowls in the seventies ever going to California, right,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: you know, No, I you know, and.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm sixty years old, and I'm I'm thankful
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: that I've got to see him win super Bowls. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: know there's a lot of people who who are probably
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: more frustrated than me because they, you know, they they've
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: never seen them win it, and and uh uh so
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I am thankful for that, and but but but yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: I just feel you know, I watched those two games
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: last weekend. I've watched the game between the Packers and
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. The way that game started, the
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: way both teams were hitting, and then in tensity, I thought, man,
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: it was the President than the Cowboy.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: That was depressing because my initial thought was like, man,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you know, we should be in this game. And then
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, both these teams kicked the Cowboys ass.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I mean both of them, you know, like and it's like, well,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe you're not that close when you think about
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Y, you know, that's exactly what I thought.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: But you're right. I mean the Bucks, the Bucks, hey,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: they they they beat the Eagles. I think the Eagles
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: had had The Eagles seemed like they quit a long
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: time ago, and you know, they won their bad division
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and then they got in. It's good for them. I
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: don't put them in the same boat. But Detroit, Green Bay,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, those teams. Those teams just you know, they
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: played football like in a fistfight, and uh and that's
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: what the Cowboys I think need to get back to,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: you know, just I mean, they did beat the Lions,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: but it was a fight, of course, and you know
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: that that's just the way that they play. That's what
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I think Dallas needs to get back to.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: But but you think, all you think about, all the
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: teams that have been knocking us out of the playoffs
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: have been these young, innovative coaches, and I just feel like,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: if if we do something different, we don't need another retread,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: even if it is Bill Belichick. I just think that,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: you know, I know, I know Jerry, he may not
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: be comfortable with the first time coach, but I'm just
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: seeing what's happening around the rest of the league, and yeah,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: and a lot something that we need to think again,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: get out of your comfort zone a little bit, you know.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: That's that's that's kind of why I'm thinking. But anyway,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you taking my call, and uh, and I'll
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: be talking to you some more and uh we go
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: ahead and stay out there in California.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: All right, All right, Jeff, Hey have you been to Oxnard?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Have you been to training? I've never been out clearly,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: because you have, you would be like, oh, this is great.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's funny. Yeah. McCarthy and Parcels
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: both had the same thing. They both were like, why
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: do we train out here? Why do we go? I
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: don't understand. They get off the plane and they're like,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: oh this is why. Yeah, no, yeah no, And I
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: get it. I mean, and if you want to say
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: thanks for the call, Jeff, I appreciate it. If you
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: want to say, you know, well, but Jamie Johnson back
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: in the day, you know, in the nineties, they went
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to Austin where his heat and all that stuff. The
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: NFLPA controls all of that kind of stuff, so you know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I think they look at it now like if you're
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: going to have practice, you know you can only you
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: can only practice for so many hours now in a
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: day and so many days in a week that if
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you're going to do it, get rid of all the distractions.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Make you go to a place where it's never hot,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: like like really hot, and it's never cold and it
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: never rains. I mean, the weather's not going to really
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: affect your practice. You can sit for if I got
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: two hours, it's all I got, it's all you're giving me.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have two hours of practice where there's really
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: no distractions here, and we're gonna go out and we
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: can practice. Wasn't too windy, wasn't too hot, wasn't this
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: or that? And so I think that's kind of the focus.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Get him away from family and stuff for a little
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: bit focus here. And I don't think that's the problem.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I really don't think there's a little bit more to
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: it than that. But hey, but at least, like I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: always say, throw out some solutions. I mean, if it's
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: this ain't working, let's figure it out. Let me get
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: one text message question here. This is from the six
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: oh two area code, that's Phoenix, says linebackers, fix our issues.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Look at the teams remaining, especially the Niners and the Ravens.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Boy they got they got two linebackers each on those teams.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Say Dak doesn't stop the run, Trading him will make
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the fans miss him more than they can imagine. If
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Brad Johnson can win the Super Bowl and Dak cam,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: all quarterbacks need help. There's only homes and one Brady
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: after that. Everyone needs help. I agree though with the linebackers.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with that Dak definitely needs help.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: They all need help. And you know, Lamar Jackson's gonna
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: win MVP. I mean, he's got some great players there,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: you know, but he's a weapon. Though, he's an outstanding weapon,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and he should be MVP. But you know, it's just
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I got some opinions about about this comfort zone that
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: you guys are talking about. I don't really think it's
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: that way. I think it's kind of a glass half full,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: half empty type thing. And I think Jerry kind of
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: looks at it like I've got a good team. I've
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: got a team that's twelve and five, twelve and five,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: twelve and five. I mean, that's never happened here. It
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen in the league that often it's hard to
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: do that. So I've got that. I'm up here. I
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: just got to fix a couple of things there, you know.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: And I look at this team a lot like the Bills.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: You know, Bill's firing their coach. I mean, they've been good,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: they mean they can't get over the hump. They've been good.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: You know, they got good talent. They haven't gotten there.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: That's the goal. That's kind of the way I look
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: at it, too, And I just say this, it's not
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: it's not an sorry, it's not McCarthy's fault. It's not
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: the team's fault that they haven't won in thirty years.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: That's what the fans are. They're frustration is a twenty
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: nine year frustration. I get that this team doesn't have that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: This team hasn't won two to three, two, you know,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: three years in a row. Here in the playoffs, they
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: haven't won. It's a problem. It's a problem. It's got
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to get fixed. But it's not a twenty nine year fix.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: If you want to throw Jerry in there, that's fine,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: But then don't sit there and say this team is talented.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Because the team is talented. We all know that. So
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I think sometimes there's a moving target when it comes
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: to what people are arguing about and what they think
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: the issue is. But this is not a twenty nine
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: year problem for Mike McCarthy and this team right here.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: It's a three year problem. It's a three year problem.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: They've had really good regular seasons and they've been hit
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: in the face the playoffs, hit in the face, and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: that's that's something that's absolutely got to be fixed. But
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: you're not talking about a coach that has never done it,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: has never won it, has never won games in the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: playoff either. I think that's what the comfort is that
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Jerry's comfortable. He's comfortable knowing that he's got a football
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: team that can get there to the end. They've got
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to finish these finish these you know,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: this race, this fight whatever. So that's that's what that's
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: what's got to happen. You got a baseball team that
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: can get him to the eighth of the ninth inning.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You got to get a closer. You got to figure
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: that out. But you don't just throw everything away because
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: you're struggling there at the end. That's where I think
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Jerry's that's where I think the glass half full, half empty.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Part is and getting a new head coach, getting a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: new coach, one of those one of these guys that
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: are out there that that changes a lot because they're
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: gonna come in and change everything. And maybe that's good,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: maybe it's not. But I think Jerry looks at it
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: like I got to tweak a few things more than
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: overhaul a lot. All right, Anthony and Miami.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: What's going on?
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Nick the quick?
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, I'm doing pretty good, man. The good thing about listening,
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: You have a you have a thought, and then you
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: listen to what you're saying and what the previous call
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: or something you know it's saying, and you kind of
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: change your mindset on something. And that's when I want
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: to talk about mindset.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Oh anthey, are you changing your whole mindset now?
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: No? No, No, they need to. They needed they needed
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: some finacity and a tougher mindset. Like I said, I
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: hope that. I don't know if I have to make
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: a plaque or something to send it as presence and
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: put my dock on them with the c d A
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: C Disciplined Accountability and consistency. Man, if I'm not, you know,
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: that's my word, that's my acronym. I made it up.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: I put those three words together, and I gave it
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: to Hanging with the Boys last year.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: Jesse loved it right away, said they're gonna use it.
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: Man, you gotta have that.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: You like you.
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: Say, twelve and five can't really finish. You're getting punched
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: in the mouth all the time. It's your mindset. It's
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: your tenacity, man, as you will it. That's what you're lacking.
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: You're not discipline, accountability, and consistency. It's really nothing with
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: the play. You can tweet things and you can fix
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: that stuff, man, you know. So with that being said,
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: as I told you, I would call in and say,
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: fifty three years old, how long I've did this with
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: the Cowboys? Been a Cowboys since then? Now fifty four
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: as a December seventeenth. So let me give you the
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: perfect example of this. Two fifty fours. Now, I can
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: cover your player thing too. Two fifty fours Master, and
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: and and I'm gonna call him mess up, can't get
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: right Stam Williams. Right, Master, Okay, he's the first round
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: draft pick and all American Maryland. Okay, but but Sam
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: was a second you know he's up there. One has
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: a mindset of tenacity. Man. Look, I don't he came
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: in at twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. He could
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: have been immature, but he became a dog and wasn't
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: nobody gonna punch him in the mouth. See, Sam makes
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: all these mistakes. You know what I'm saying. Bar does
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: this stuff, acts like he's tough, but then people punch
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: him in the mouth. I saw guards and I saw
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: people knocking him on the ground. And then he's committing
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: all these counties and nobody's pulling him to the side.
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: Like I said, I would have grabbed the space mask.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: That's me.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: But somebody said, oh he's big. I don't know about that, man.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: Look ain't nobody's stared the same ways. But that's the
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: mindset of fifty four and a fifty four. Now you
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: see what I'm saying. You gotta have that. You're gonna
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: be tough and act tough, be tough when it's time
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: to be tough. That's all I'm saying. If they can
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: do that, man, if they can add that to what
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: they already have, I think they'll be all right.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, appreciate it nex time, bro, Thank you. Well,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: you know got me writing some stuff down. You know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: fifty four can go two different ways there, you know,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I mean back to the old school, it was Randy White,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: like he had it even before him, Chuck Holey, you know,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: And there's not many number that have multiple numbers already
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: in the Ring of honor. Fifty four is one of them.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Eighty eight, of course, forty three, twenty two, fifty four.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: You know, are you Randy White or Chuck Calley or
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: are you Bobby Carpenter, Darren Hambrick, Jalen Smith, Sam Williams,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you know, they don't just get
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I mean fifty four. If you get fifty four, there's
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: a reason for it. I mean they no, I don't
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: know about the Darren Hambrick one. That was probably not
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: but you know, they gave it to Jalen Smith, they
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: gave it to Sam, they gave it to Carpenter, you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: first second round picks. I mean, they gave it to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: to guys that were supposed to kind of do this
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: play at that level, you know, at this standard at
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: fifty four, they haven't necessarily haven't done that, of course,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: but you know, Sam, that's gonna be interesting because Gordon
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Armstrong's a free agent and Dante Fowlers a free agent,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: and you don't have a lot of money to be
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: signing these guys. Even those guys, I mean, you could
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: probably get them resigned if you wanted to. But they
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: got a lot of decisions to make. Do they look
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: at Dorn's arm trung and they say, listen, let's just
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: play with Sam Williams at defensive end. That's scary considering
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: how many penalties he has in a limited role. And
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I think you can make the case this year I
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: think his penalties have been worse than the plays that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: he's made. He's had a couple he's blocked a punt
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, but he blocked u punt and then
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: he also had a penalty trying to block a punt too.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: So he's had some sacks, but he's had some he
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: has some penalties as well. So you know, that's that
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be. That's gonna be a decision that they
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: have to make for sure. There all right, let's go
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: to Tony. He's in Alexandria, Virginia. You are on what's up?
• 45:59
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'm still trying to digest yet another season
• 46:06
  Speaker 11: ending early probably like, you know, the rest of the cowboyition. Yes,
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: as far as McCarthy coming back, you know, I'm okay
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: with that. And reason being is because you know, I
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: hear some others talk about, yeah, we should have brought
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: in this guy or that guy, but there's no you know, Nick,
• 46:21
  Speaker 11: there's no guarantee that those guys are going to come
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: in here and have another twelve and five season. I mean,
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: it's not guaranteed that McCarthy's gonna have another twelve and
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: five season next year, which I don't looking at you know,
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: and I know we do that this is a win,
• 46:34
  Speaker 11: that's a loss, but just looking at the people we
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: play next year, I I would be hard pressed to
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: get back to another twelve and five record. I mean
• 46:41
  Speaker 11: they may, but it's it's difficult.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, we played.
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: Baltimore, we play, we played, We've got a first play
• 46:47
  Speaker 11: schedule now, whereas you know, last year we did and
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: you know, you know, we weren't picked to win the division.
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: It was still everyone was picking Philly to win the division.
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: And you know, we want it based on their you know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 11: I call it the epic collapse that they have. But
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: but yeah, so I'm okay with bringing him back. And
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: you know there's then there's the age ol question as well.
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: Is it the players or is it the coaches? You know,
• 47:09
  Speaker 11: the coaches coach, but the players have to execute. And
• 47:13
  Speaker 11: I don't know, I'm leaning more towards the players. You know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 11: they gotta they just gotta, you know, go out there
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: and execute, not make dumb penalties and and you know,
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: stuff of that nature. And uh, you know you and
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: I always always one thing that really hurts me is is,
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: you know, is the way now that the season's over,
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: we got to wait all the way through the spring
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: and the summer and training camp and the draft and
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: all that stuff. And using our favorite you know, roller
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: coaster analogy, you know, we've gone to come off the
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: ride now basically you know we're at now, Nick, we're
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: at the back of a four hour wait just to
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: get on the roller coaster because that basically wait is
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: considered you know, the off season. So before we get
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: back on and strap in our belt and start to
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: tick back up the you know, the incline of the
• 47:59
  Speaker 11: roller coaster. So to me, that's the longest that's the
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: biggest thing that irks me to.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Say that snake, you know where you're going back and forth,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: back and forth, staring at the same people. Yeah, it's
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: probably hot, you know. Yeah, that seem fun. You're like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: You're like, how do we get this fast pass? Everyone
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: keeps jumping right, Yeah, yeah, there is one.
• 48:20
  Speaker 11: When I was calling, I was like, let me if
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: we could get the fast pass and get get in
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: the front of the line and get back on. But
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: but yeah, I'll all I support Cowboy Nation, just like
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: one caller said, you know, maybe I'm not as because
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: I've seen, you know, them win super Bowls before. But again,
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: like one of my earlier calls, I said, I'm more
• 48:37
  Speaker 11: so wanting the Super Bowl, not for me now, but
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: for the younger generations that have never seen it. I've
• 48:43
  Speaker 11: got a son now, I would like to celebrate it
• 48:45
  Speaker 11: with him. That's why I want it, because, like I said,
• 48:49
  Speaker 11: I've seen it, but the ones that haven't seen it,
• 48:51
  Speaker 11: that's who I want it for. That's exactly who I
• 48:54
  Speaker 11: wanted it for. So anyways, with down and I'll get
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: off the phone and I'll try and call in another time.
• 49:00
  Speaker 11: And Cowboys.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. Good call, Tony, And you know
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I can relate to that, you know, because I I
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: want to see it, you know, for for others as well.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: But and I'm selfishly too, like I want to see
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: it for my own, like my own position, my job.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been here, this is, this is I've
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: been here almost like twenty five full calendar years, and uh,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: people try to ask questions all the time about what
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: how do you do this? Or what happens here and there?
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: And anyone that was asking questions about what happens at
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: you know, at the super Bowl, I don't know, Like
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never seen it, never seen the
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: championship game. So selfishly, i'd like to see it for that,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see this website like Dallas Cowboys dot com.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: We've done a really good job over the years. I'll
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: say that I could pat myself on the back. Derek Eagleton,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: all of the writers we've had done a pretty good job,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: really good job actually of establishing a lot of a
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: lot of viewers and readership on teams with teams that
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: really weren't that good, especially like back in the I mean,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: this thing was really getting off the ground two thousand,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: when we're five and eleven, three years in a row.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: So I think we've done a pretty good job over
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: twenty five years for a team that hasn't gotten to
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: that level yet. I can't imagine what it would be
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: like if we do. I want to see that. But
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: you're right for the young generation, you know. I mean,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: my kids have never seen. They don't they don't know,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it would be It would be awesome for everyone,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: not just for you know, it's okay to be selfish too,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: It's okay, but it's you know, you guys, Like I
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: said last last week, you guys deserve it, especially the
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: ones listening to the show. Listen to any of these
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: shows are on our website. Guys are dedicated fans just
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: want this team to to to win, and they all
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: everyone's got their own ideas on how to get it done.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Doesn't always agree with Jerry, I get it. You know,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I don't either, you know, I don't always agree with
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: some of the things that they do. But it's it's
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: it's just frustrating. It's frustrating when you when you're watching
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: these games, and you know, I just think when you
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: think of all year long, all season, I just thought
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: it was going to be a better a better ending,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: or definitely a different ending. Than this. All right, let's
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: go to Alan Merkle, Texas.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, what's going on? Hey?
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how are you?
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: Not good? It's like every time I hear some of
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: the opinions of just like Rubs salt in the wombs,
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: It's just like any time you lose, everybody's going to
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: come out of the woodwork to say we need to
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: do this, we need to do that, and it's like, yeah,
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: that works in uh fantasy football, but not in reality.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: The one thing, one question. I have two questions, and
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it's been addressed on any show.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: I heard Everson Walls talk about it yesterday on Mixed Shots,
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: But it's like, what would the deal with h At
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: the very beginning with Dak and uh McCarthy and uh
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: City Lamb, Well, I mean, I don't know. It was
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: like the very first, uh very first series, and you know,
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: Dak and him we're talking to all of a sudden,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: MacCarthy's over there talking till it's like, what is going on?
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: And well, hold on, let me say this because because
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: McCarthy did address this, this wasn't like two This wasn't
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: like two brothers that were fighting and dad jumped in.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was that. It was it was
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: maybe just Okay, we know the defense that the Green
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Bay plays, and it's when when you play a big
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: zone defense like that, guys have to make decisions. You
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: guys have to figure out where to sit, where you
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: know where, how to just work that that zone. And
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: that's what he was talking. McCarthy was talking to CD
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: about a particular route, about what with this kind of coverage,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: this look what we're doing here. And remember he is
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: the play caller. This isn't just this isn't the head
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: coach jumping in. This isn't Dad on a long road
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: trip saying hey you look out this window, you look
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: at that. No, no, no, this is like, hey, I'm
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: the play caller. This is the way I see it.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: This is how this play is supposed to go. So
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: we might be reading a little bit into that, but
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: not reading too much into the fact that CD was
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: not himself in that in that game the way you
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: played nobody You're right, nobody was Trince C. Trince see
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: was himself. He snapped the ball when it was time
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: to snap, he snapped it. Well that's it, maybe Ferguson.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: And yeah, Ferguson and also what's the name of the receiver.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Galler? But was it was that himself? I mean that
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: that that was why it was so weird. Everything was
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: upside down, you know, everything was upside CD didn't play.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but the Superman or whatever. But the other
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: question I have for you, and hopefully you can uh
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: correct me if I'm wrong, But this year, why were
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: we supposed to be running and playing better? Do you
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: find better off so our defense could take over and
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: keep us in games? And it seems like maybe after
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: I can't remember exactly what game it was, but it
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: seems like the script was slipped and all of a sudden,
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: here we go again, pass against going forty points, which
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: that's fine, you know, but our defense, they I feel
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: like they let us down. Everybody on the Dallas Covers
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Dot conference basically agree that at Miami was the offense
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: that let us down. I don't think so, because Miami
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: had the balls very in and we had our defense
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: on there. I don't care how well you played. The
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: game was not over. It's like, I don't care if
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: you have allowed seven points or ten points. You're on
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: the field. You need to stop them. And we didn't
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: stop them, So I don't know what is up with
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: our defense, but I do believe, you know, I have
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: an opinion like everybody else is there, like you know
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: what they all see. But my opinion is, you know,
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: the offense, would you know, get some linemen and running back.
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: We should be fine there, We should be I think
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: McCarthy can figure it out. But I think with the defense,
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: we need to figure out how to stop the run
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: because I think that's what has gashed us for ever
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: since they've exposed. But anyway, I love the show man.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: I enjoyed this so much this year. I just hate
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: the way it ended. It so bad, And I'm going
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: to try to call in there now and then. But
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: for the most part, I'm done with football season. It's
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: time to work on golf and other stuff until uh
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: training can't come around. But like I said, thank you
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: so much for taking my calls. You and Chris have
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: been awesome. This show is awesome. Like I said, I'll
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: keep on listening, probably on YouTube after the fact, But
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: like I said, thanks for everything you've done. You're gonna
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: have done it differently. But you know there's always next.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Year, right, yeah, always always next time.
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, and one more thinge more thing. You know, everybody's saying, well,
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: Jerry should do it this, Jerry should do it this way.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: I used to think Gerry should do it this way.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: But you know what, I'll figured out Jerry doesn't have
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: my number of tweed though he does it no, so
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: I'm not getting through so I can have all their
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: pinions I want about it Jerry, but he ain't gonna listen.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate that. Thanks all right, now, good stuff there, Merkele,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Texas got a good outlook on thanks. Uh, let's go
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: to Reggie and Germany. He's probably been holding a while. Reggie, Hey, hey.
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: What's up Nick? How are you doing that? Like everybody else? Man,
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: trying to trying to lick my wounds, trying to get
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: over this this field. But happy New Year. And listen,
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: here's something I got free.
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: Back in the day, a couple of them quarterbacks decided,
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: you know, look, I'm I'm gonna take a cut and pay,
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: maybe offer at least to take a cut and pay
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: to benefit the team and try and give back some
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: room to to to during the days, the room to
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: get some good players in there. Maybe I'd like to
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: hear your opinion on that. The other thing is this
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: that you know, our team, as I said before, they're
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: just not playing with the intention I called it, I
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: called the game phase. What I mean is playing with
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: a certain tenacity, a certain a certain amount of you know, desire,
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: and showing your teams right away, you know when even
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: if it's the offense, the oupense starting the game, you
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: know he had the oppensive mind blowing off the ball.
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: You haven't blown up, you know of holes for the
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: back to run through. And you let you get the
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: other team know, you know, you don't have to wait
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: to get to you get punched them out to punch
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: the other team in his mouth, you know, and you
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: you let them know. All we get for you today
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: is that intentions and fresh and bubble gum and we
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: fresh out of bubble gube, you know. And this is
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: how it's gonna be all day long. And that's what
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about, that that that they have. This team
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: never showed us that and and they need to show
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: it that they show to set on both sides of
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: the ball. Yep, that's my point.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I definitely think it's when you
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: think of the two things that need to be fixed.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I mean running the ball and stopping the run. I
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: mean that that goes with the offensive line, defensive line.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: It goes with the big boys, you know, the big
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: tough guys. And I think the toughness, uh you know
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: the games they've lost this year, or the teams that
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: feel like that they've been tougher.
• 58:32
  Speaker 6: Than them, you know, as an example, you know, yeah,
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: those two two expressions. You know, the defensive backs are
• 58:43
  Speaker 6: going to have to you know, also tell the tell
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: the receivers on the other side. You know, I'm not
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: giving up anything. I will be riding in your hip pocket,
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: you know, and and play that way, play that way,
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: you know, the way the way Woodson played. You know,
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: you let him know I'm not.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Giving this up to night right, all right, Well, I
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: appreciate the call, Reggie.
• 59:06
  Speaker 6: Hopefully I'll just watching TV on the way over here.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Man, I got you, all right, all right, Well, have
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: a good one, all right, Maybe we'll get to go
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: see Reggie this year. Who knows? Cowboys? They announced some
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: international games. Cowboys are playing at Carolina this year. Carolina
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: is one of the teams going to Germany after what
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: happened last year. Cowboys in Carolina. They may not want
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: to see the Cowboys there again, I don't know. Kind
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: of took over and announced that Jimmy Johnson move and
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: some other things happened that day. It was pretty interesting,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: to say the least. I know. I know, if I
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: had to pick between going back to Carolina or Germany,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: I would pick Germany. That would be pretty awesome if
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: that happened. So we'll see that that'll get announced at
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: some point here this offseason. All right, let's go to
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: a text question here, Kevin from Virginia. Do you foresee
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: any of our free agents getting the franchise tag? I don't.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't. I don't not this year.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, they gave it to Pollard last year. They
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: could tag Pollard again, but that would cost even more.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, because it's the second time you do it.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I don't have the numbers on the second running back tag,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm guessing it'd be around the twelve million mark.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to do that for Pollard.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I don't see any other position any other free agent,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, you they could if they really
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to to do that with be oddish, you know,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: that would be one that but I just don't see
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: that happening. I don't think they're going to bring him back.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna I think he's gonna test the market.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get paid pretty well, and I
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: think the Cowboys are okay with that. So looking at
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: just thinking of some of the other guys, I just
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. When you look at
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: the free agents, you know, France tag is a huge number. Uh,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: it's you know, top, it's I think an average of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: the top five at that position. So when you think
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: of the Dorance Armstrongs and you know Stefan Gilmore, you know,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: players like that, and you think about what the franchise
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: number would be, No, I don't. I don't think so.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: I don't really see the Cowboys having it because they
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: really don't have other than Pollard and be Hotish. I'm
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: not seeing a lot of your number one guys, Tyring.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: You know that that that's a that'll have to be
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: a tricky situation if they want to bring it back.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: It'll have to be something that they figure out, uh,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: you know, and how it works kind of like they
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: did before. All right, real quick here, let's go Matt
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 12: Hey, what's up, man?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: What's up, Matt? How you doing? First time call?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 12: First time caller, first time catching it live. I'm on
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 12: the road, so I'm usually catching recordings. But I got
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: to say team, so I have a long time That
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 12: art out was man, all right? But I got two questions.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 12: One of them the first one's really quick. Do you
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: know if Dak has a sports therapist? Because he clearly
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: is body language and spatial expressions. He clearly tenses up
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 12: and doesn't play himself in these big mainly the playoff games.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 12: He's played very well in big games in the regular season,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 12: but a lot of top athletes, top performers his wife have,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 12: you know, like medslle coaches. Do you know if he
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: has one.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: I think he does. I think he does, but I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: don't think it's something that he It's I don't know
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: how public he is, and I don't know if he
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: would necessarily. I don't know if he calls it that. Honestly,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He's got a team that of people
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: that that he works with, but I don't know if
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: he's calls it a sports.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 12: You know, because Russell Russell Wilson's sports therapist. Yeah, came
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 12: into the pocket our coming uh had a company meeting,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 12: and it was just fantastic.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: And I just so, how's that working for? I mean,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I'm not trying to be funny, but
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: I mean that.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 12: That that that therapist passed away a couple of years ago.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: But I mean I didn't know that. I'm saying, I.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 12: Told, told, I get it. He was a therapist through
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: the the Super Bowl run. Okay, Okay, I feel I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 12: feel like everybody, whatever this is, I love that on him.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: But he would have to blind to not realize that
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 12: against the Niners, they against the Packers in these big
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: time playoff games, this body language is facial expressions.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you this, though, Matt, let
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: me ask you this. Yeah, because was the Packer game
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: a big game? I mean, was that a big game
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: to you? I mean, that was just just a wild
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: It was a big game.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 12: Okay, So so I mean it's a it's a playoff game.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly like But my point, my point is that like
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: this happen spends a lot with Cowboy fans. They do
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: it a lot during the regular season. The Cowboy fans
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: only call it a big game if the Cowboys didn't
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: win it, Like like you conveniently skipped the Buccaneers game
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: when he played his best football game of his life.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: But that I guess wasn't a big game because it
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: was just the Bucks against Tom Brady. You know what
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 12: So you're right, No, you're right, So nothing's you're right
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 12: any statement I I stand corrected, and I said he
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 12: played well in the big games of the rate of season.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 12: I said at the start off my call, I said,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 12: he played against Miami, played great. I was at the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 12: Chargers game. He's the one who carried him to that win.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: Buffalo wasn't even really on him. That goes to my
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 12: next question about Dan Quinn. But I mean, what do
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: you disagree with me that you can tell by his
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 12: body language and facial expressions that he was just a
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: different human in that Backers game and inst the Niners
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 12: last year, m this year.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, going like, yeah, they they
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: they played like crap.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 12: Acknowledge that he was that he was going through his
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: spreeze too bad? Ye, calm down, you know what I mean?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: Like it's easy for me to stay with dummies driving
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 12: a car for a living. I get all of.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: That, right, No, But I.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 12: Don't know. I know it's I feel like any top
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: performer his life has one regardless of what you do.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I honestly don't. I don't know to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: what extent that he you know, of of the teams
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: that he has uh surrounding him. I know there's there's
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, but I don't necessarily know all
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: of that. And you know, clearly things things are haven't
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: been the same. You know what he hasn't played like
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: like we've seen. It's not it's not like he was
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: throwing for three three hundred and fifty yards and you know,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: like the Josh Allen lost what three years ago against
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: you know were the Chiefs, was like last last guy
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: to get the ball. I mean they've lost these playoff
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: games because he didn't play well in those games.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: He stole the words out of my mouth with Josh Allen.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 12: No one's gonna like he he's it's they're not losing
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 12: because of him, and you're ever loses because of one player.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: But Josh Allen is playing his spot off in all
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: those games that he loses, right, So my next question,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: I didn't expect that to be able to.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 13: But agut.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: But my next question was on dan quint Right, Like again,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 12: I'm a dummy, out of shape suburban dad, and I
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 12: could watch these football games and like against Buffalo comes
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 12: to mind. The Niners didn't run all over I don't
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 12: know why people say that, but uh. And then like
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 12: this Packers game where they're getting the ball run down
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 12: their throat and they're sticking with lighter personnel. What am
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 12: I missing something? And then also the night the Packers
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: or Jordan Love is really good against man coverage, not
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 12: good against zone. So we tried to go zone that
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 12: clearly wasn't working. And man is our strength and zone
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: is not our strength. So when you try to when
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: you try to scheme against them, it's not working. Why
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 12: not just go back to our strength?
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 12: What am I missing there?
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 12: If I miss dummy, they didn't recognize that. How is
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: someone like dan Quinn not recognizing that? And do you
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 12: think this is our our our what he needs to
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 12: see to go against a two hundred and five pounds
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 12: Marquis Bell linebacker.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. The the word on the
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: street is that Gilmour's injury was a lot worse than
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: than than it seemed, and that that they felt like
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: that's the best way that they had They could have
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: played it with him. But but the Marquis Bell, like
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: the linebacker spot, I'm not I'm not with you. I'm
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: not I'm with you on that. Like, I just don't
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: understand it. And it hurt them all year in games
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: where teams jumped up on them and said, hey, we're
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: gonna attack this, we're gonna score, we're gonna get a lead,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: we're gonna keep doing it. And the I mean, they
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: just don't they. I don't think they value the linebacker
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: position like I think they should. And I think they
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: they value it like every down is going to be
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: third and seven, And what do our linebackers do against
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: their tight end when you know what, if you're gonna
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: getting run over, it's never third and seven, it's third
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: and one or if that you know.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 12: Well, the argument is, uh, you know, Mars played better
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 12: than it wouldn't matter as much. Okay, sure that's great,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 12: but when when what happens if your tackles aren't playing
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 12: to their league level? You get this?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I so they gotta they gotta fix
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: the run. They've got to fix the run because not
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: only does it help you win games, but it's also
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: a mentality like getting run on is is demoralizing. And
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: so you know, I think I think good tough football
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: teams don't get run on. So I think I think
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: that that would that will kind of start from there.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: So all right, I.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 12: Mean I just take old, line linebacker, and corner have
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 12: got to be three big positions going into the drought
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 12: free agency.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I agree, and you got it, and you
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: need a running back at some point. I mean, I
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: gotta get it back. So I'd have to throw that
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: part in there too, just because your top two running
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: backs are free agents and and they they needed to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: be better than what they were.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 12: So yeah, you got to throw that instricted or No.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure his his contract, Honestly, I don't really,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: I really don't know, And if I did, we wouldn't
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: we wouldn't talk specifically about it. But uh, you know,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: if he would be if he's an unrestricted free agent,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. Hey, I mean they I don't.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have to figure they have to run the ball.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 7: Better.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: I still think it's an offensive line thing. A center guards.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: They they gotta they gotta figure out what they're doing
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: there up front, right there in the middle. All right,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: thanks for the call, man, Let's go to Mike and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Bowling Green. Mike, Ei there, I am. What's up man?
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 13: Man, I worked great, k and I just got done
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 13: with an install called out for lunch.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 14: And then I saw a report saying Quinn was coming back,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 14: and uh so that's Steve, You're still own. Yeah, I'm
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 14: not crazy about if that's true. I was happy that
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 14: they brought Mike McCarthy back.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: I was getting that.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 14: But with Quinn's record against uh the the coaching tree,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 14: that Shanahan coaching tree, I think I wanted to see
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 14: somebody different.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you got me on that. I've been. I've been,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: I'm on there. I don't know if if that's an
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: official The last thought that i'd heard he was doing interviews,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: you know, and interviewing with three or four teams, So
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: if if that happened, but I can speak to the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: fact that, you know, I think that there's there's some
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: there's some things that need to need to change with
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: the defense. Whoever the coordinator is this team this team
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: needs to have. I think I have a different philosophy
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: when it comes like I just said about the linebacker position,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: about what what they do and you know there and
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: and and how they handle stopping the run and what
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: kind of body types are they looking for there. I
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: think I think a lot of these guys are undersized.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: So then that's the biggest thing that has to change
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: on defense.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah, the report game from ed Warder, he said, uh
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 14: alx Cowboy and Dan Quinn to return as Mike McCarthy's
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 14: defensive coordinator.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 13: Kind of I'm kind of I was looking I'm kind
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 13: of looking forward to new new But yeah, when I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 13: was thinking by the time he'd find something, I mean,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 13: there's not going to be much left out there, so
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 13: I kiss.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the best bed Well, I mean, yeah, you're trying
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: to you're trying to figure out how to run it back,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: you know, and and and if if you want to
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: like if they if they want to do that, I
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: agree with you. You know, at at some point there needs
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: to be there. There has to be some kind of
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: change here. You can't just keep doing the same thing.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like the head coach, I mean head
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: coach is coming back. It looks like the quarterback's coming back.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: And if the defensive coordinator is coming back. If that,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: if that happens, then they they have to figure out
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: what what is going to change? I mean, what how
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: are you going to be better? Look at that schedule,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: those guys, those teams aren't going anywhere. I mean, those
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: teams are gonna be good. Ravens will be good next year.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: I could promise you. Mingles, the Browns, the Steelers, they're
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: gonna be tough games, you know. So you've got to
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: be better than what you were to even be twelve
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: and five? So how are you gonna get better? Like?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: That's that's where I think the question. That's what the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Cowboys have to figure out.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: Need to do it differently, all right? Payoffs?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well we'll see, we'll see what happens.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: We'll see what's going on. I still think dan Quinn
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: is interviewing for other positions, so it looks like there's
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: gonna be some you know that there could be some
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: changes there. I'm not sure exactly what you read and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: if that's new or not could be, but if even so,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Cowboys got to figure out how to make some changes here.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: All right, it's been a good show. We went our
• 1:13:53
