  Speaker 1: going to the parade?
• 1:53

  Speaker 4: No, I don't think they would want me to wear

  Speaker 4: Miami Smith jersey down there.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if they'll care
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: who's down there. At that point when you have a parade,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. Thanks for coming out. What's going on?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Not too much, man, I saw what looked like we
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: lost maybe our third defensive. Is that the third loss
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: was Durden a thurd and the third guy we lost
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: this year, So we lost Quinn and so is that
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it is that all we lost so far?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So far? But okay, but stay tuned. I mean there'll
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: be some. I mean that's just natural. Man, It's gonna happen.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, Zimmer's not gonna come here and be like, yep,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I like them all, Like all these guys are good.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, he'll have he'll make some changes. You know.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: That was gonna be my question for you. So I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: glad you brought that up. I was just curious, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: excuse me, based on what you saw the last time
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: he was here, you know, what you thought he might
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: bring to the table, and and hopefully in the upcoming
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: you know, month or so, somebody will do like a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I forget what they call that show, hit sticks. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: think they call it hits when they do a show
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: that kind of explains scheme because you know, for somebody
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: like me, you know, I always say I'm the Joe
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: and Flower Mound guy that brought us is always talking
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: about right. I can recognize some defenses, I don't recognize
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: all this new you know, some of the most exotic stuff.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: So I'd love for somebody to say, Okay, here's what
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: we were running last year, here's what we're running. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: well what we think you know, obviously we don't know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: but what we think is coming right, you know, based
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: on what he's done in the past and that so anyway,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I don't really have another question because you kind of
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: already hit on it. But I do have a player
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: for you, right was here the year you got here.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Only played for two years for the Cowboys. Billy wide receiver,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Billy Davis.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: That's so funny that you say this. This is this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is funny, Brian, that you say this because Billy Davis.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I just typed this out. I counted fifteen players, fifteen
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: players that I saw at the Super Bowl. I was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: only there for really for one day on radio Row.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I saw fifteen former players and I'm like typing it out,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I think I might read this list.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Of course I've left it on the printer upstairs, so
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: don't worry about that. But Billy Davis was one of them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I wonder how many people really remember
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Billy Davis. But that's funny because he was he was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on he was on my list, and I thought, you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: know what, Brian, Kansas City, he probably would know him.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And then here you are asking me about him.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: So that's funny. Now. Yeah, I was trying to pick
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: out a guy that was a little more Stuart because
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: he was not here for a long time. Yeah, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: it was here in your first year. So yeah, she
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: got a story about him that you can remember, that'd
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: be great. I'm going to hang up to other people
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: can get through brother.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Brian, I appreciate it. The only
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: story I really remember to Billy Davis. Actually, I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he ended playing for the cow was in ninety eight,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: so I technically started in ninety nine. I don't think
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: he was on the ninety nineteen, but in ninety eight
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I was here covering the team. I was doing little
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: interning and working for Witchdaft Falls Paper and all that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and I do remember an interview where he was like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, if I have you know, if I caught
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: one hundred passes for you know, fifteen hundred yards, then
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: then I would have the contract or some something like that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And they said, well, if you catch fifteen hundred yards,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know what does that mean? He goes, well, it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: means I'm gonna be in Hawaii. That's what it means,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know. And the way the way, I don't know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the way he said it was just kind of funny
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: because you know, think think like Noah Brown saying that,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and then here's fifteen hundred
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: yards or Jayalen Dilbert or somebody like that. Going back
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to Zimmer, you know, if you've ever met him, he's intense. Okay,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that's just that's what he is. He coaches that way.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He that's the way. That's why his life is. That's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: why he calls games. It is very physical. Your hat.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You have to be tough, you have to have a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: physical presence about you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: He plays more for three, but he has played the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: three four before when he was here with Parcels. Parceles
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: loved him. He didn't think he would at first, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: then he did and then they ended up. You know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he's showing some versatility there. And you kind of saw
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that sum with Minnesota, the way they would stand Anthony
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Barr up at times and then rush him as well,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: so they could go back if you've got the pieces.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Not every team can go for three to three four
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because you don't always have the pieces. Belichick was able
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to do it some because he was able to get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: his guys in New England to sort of be those
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: type of tweeners that could play both that way. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if you've got those kind of guys, you can kind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of do it and be versatile. But he's he'll be
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he'll be a very physical I mean he'll need physical
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: players to play in a physical approach. All right, let's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: go to a text line question here. This is Josh.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He's a fourth grade teacher. He says, what does San
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Francisco and the Chiefs have the Cowboys don't. My opinion
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is grit. How do they get that? Well, you get
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a guy like Mike Zimmer to be your defensive coordinator
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because he's got that for sure. Maybe you can help
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: some there on defense. I agree. I mean there's a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: toughness factor there, I think. I mean, we answer this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: question on the mail bag. I mean, this is kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of an exception to the rule because I don't know
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: if Kansas City has the best football team in the league.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think they do. They absolutely have the best
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: football player. He's the MVP of the league. They just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: kind of like to pass this around to different players.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But it's just like it was in the nineties when
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan he's the best player. They want to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: give it to Barkley and give it to Carl Malone.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That's fine. We know who the best player is and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's the same here. He's the best football player without
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a doubt Patrick Mahomes. And you know, I thought the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Niners were the better team. I think he is the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: better player. And guess what, he got the ball last.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You could make an argument of if that was should
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: have been the case or not, but he got the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: ball last, he went out and won the game. That's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what the Chiefs have that nobody else has. And the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers, I think have. You know, they got
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a dynamic player too, and Christian McCaffrey. They they they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: are very very good because they have different they have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: unique weapons that can do different things. And their quarterback
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: is really good. I don't you know, you know what
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I think about game managers and bus drivers. I think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't think that's slight at all. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I think he's a really good quarterback. So, you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they they have but they they all they went I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if they went all in, but they they
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: definitely sold out to get, you know, some really good
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: players to go win, and they're gonna be They're gonna
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: have some contract issues here down the road. The good
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: thing for them is their quarterbacks still making about a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: million dollars right now. All right, another text question, Ron
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He's in Concord, California. How do you think Zimmer will
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: use Parsons? It's a great question. That's the one that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be the first question too, Mike Zimmer. If
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he has a press conference this week, which could be
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: later this week. If that happens, that's that's one for him. Honestly,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what do I think I think he'll He'll play some
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on the outside like over stand up rusher, you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at times they'll he'll drop back and cover. To me,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that's where I think he is one of those pieces
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that can go back from a three to four to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: four to three, and I think you you just got
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to use him all over the place. Honestly, I mean,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think he will. He will do things much
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: different than others. But it's also going to be how
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do the other pieces fit into the scheme. That's that's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the key. If you're going to move him around, other
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: guys are moving too, all right, Tim and Grapevine, next caller.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: How you doing this?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: I've been licking my wounds longer than usual because I
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: had the bright idea to go on X or Twitter
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: and tweet that I thought the Cowboys are going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: make the Nuituy championship, and you know, you know what happened.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: You know, good, good old, good old fashioned clunker on
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: both sides of the ball, right, and you know what
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: you know I said earlier in the year, I thought
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: McCarthy was little bit outdated. He got better throughout the year,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: but I think one thing he needs and Dak needs,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: we we have to manufacture are a very good run game.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: We have to.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: That.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, we can talk about what we need on defense,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: we can talk about changing coordinators, we could talk about
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: replacing Tyring and add another receiver. At the end of
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: the day, if you can run the ball that travels,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: that does well for you in cold weather in the playoffs,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: it takes pressure off of everybody. I don't know what
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the answer is there. I don't know what this draft has,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: but man, we just need a hammerhead running back. I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: not saying that Marco Murray twenty fourteen. Would that be perfect,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Yes it would, but we need to go all in
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: on that. And I saw interesting graphic. So when we
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: played in San Francisco this year, we were in zone
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: the majority of the time, and we were like, I think,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: and man, let me, let me actually just pull it up.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: We were a man against him thirty percent of the time,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: and we were in zone sixty nine point two percent
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: of the time. Well, the Chiefs were in man. The inverse,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: they were in man sixty five percent of the time.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Zone thirty five percent of the time. Helps when you
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: have an all pro McDuffie and with Jerry Snead and so.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: But my thing is with Zimmer, I'm curious, what do
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: you think does he run zone and do you think
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: that suits Jarn Bland? I know Diggs can play man
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: pretty well, but what do you think about Bland? And
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: what do you think Zimmer's gonna do? And I'll hang up.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You know what, Tim, thanks for the call. I mean,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't say that I remember, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I've watched a ton of games that what he was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: doing in Minnesota. But one thing I know about all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: good coaches like this and Zimmer is that is that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you do play to your personnel. The guys you mentioned
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: McDuffie and sneed for the Chiefs. I mean I think
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have that as well. I mean, you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: know they have those type of guys. I think they have,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, they have the corners that can play that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and they can play man. I think, you know, if
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you can play man, you know with your corners, it
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: gives you a lot more versatility to do other things.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It'll it'll be interesting to see what happens with Gilmore.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I know he says he wants to come back. Gilmore
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: obviously he also had a shoulder surgery, so he's he's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: going to miss some time this offseason. He's a free agent,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: so that might affect, you know, what his salary is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys or any team really, because it's going
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit before he can be back.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I've heard four to six, you know months. Actually it'll
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: be closer to training camp maybe before he can get
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: back and get going. So but but you know, what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: do they have. They still have Digs coming back from injury.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, they have Bland. We'll see what happens with
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. So I can't really answer the question on
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what type of defense he's going to play and what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: type of coverage he's going to play. But I do
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: think he's got good man de man corners, and when
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you have that, I think that's where it starts. You
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: can do a lot more things with that that if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you just were to play zone all the time, I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: think I think he'll he'll he'll probably be more of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: an aggressive man to man cover guy. But like I said,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the best ones are the ones that can that can adapt,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and I think he's he's really good at doing that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: All Right. We got Dan from Philly on the text
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: question what are your thoughts? I knew this was coming up.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on what de Law had to say about the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Cowboys being tired and gassed during the cow then the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Green Bay playoff game. Kind of ironic since he's the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: tank and basically said his tank was empty past Cowboys.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Pac Man Jones cool. I don't know if we have
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: enough time for pac Man stories. He's on here a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: year and he's got about seven.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was surprised that anyone said it,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and then I was surprised that the person who said
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it was Tank. That doesn't seem like the type of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: comment that he would make. I I don't think there's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: any way he realized what that sounded like when he
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: said that. I don't think I really, I just it
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: didn't It did not come off right. In my opinion,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that's not really his mentality. I'm just surprised that he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: said that. And honestly, I don't know if I even
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: believe that. I don't believe that that's that's what it was.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Being tired and he was tired. I don't think so.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm just gonna I don't want to ignore it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You asked the question, but it's just doesn't seem right
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that he would say we were tired and that's why
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: we lost. He gave credit to the to the Packers.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He said some other interesting things in that next sentence.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: If you went back and listened to it about him,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you know, they're rolling away from him and running at Micah.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But all in all, I mean, the Packers dominated the game.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They came out and just and they gave it to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys in every every phase. And you know, if
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you want to listen to Micah's podcast, if he heard
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that clip, I mean, Jordan loved details all that, which
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is another story that's fascinating. But I don't, I mean,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you're just gonna choose not to really go there, because
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I don't there's no way that that's what d Law
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: really meant. In my opinion, he said he was tired
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that they were tired. I don't believe that's the case.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And and that's that's just going to open up the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: can of worms for that. So I don't really think
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that that that happened at all. All right, let's go
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to Jeff in North Carolina.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: So?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Man, how you doing?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I'm doing it?
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: How about yourself?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm great? Great.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: It's funny. When I hadn't heard it begin the show,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and I was actually loading my truck for tomorrow and
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: about man, it's two o'clock and and I down in
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I got connected on the first first dilling today. I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: can't believe it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't know is that a good thing? I mean,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: does that mean? I mean, what's going on? Where are
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: our callers? Hell?
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right, But it's funny.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Off season one thing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask you about de Las too,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: and I heard you have got the text question, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I kind of feel like, you know them guys, any
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: of them guys that are there that week, they're they're
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: promoting something. And and I would think and then he
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: probably was. He might have been surprised by the question,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and maybe he just I think it's like you said,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: he may not been realizing how how that was going
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: to be taken. But you got to remember your cowboy.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Everything you say, everything is going to be construed differently
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: or you know, over and over. But I did, Like
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I was listening to, uh the g bag Nation podcast
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and and they had Gilmore and Cooks on there, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: they asked them about it, and he said, they said, uh, no,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: everybody's tired this time of the year. You just got
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: to play. So so I'm telling you we we got
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: to find a way to bring Gilmore back because I
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: think him and Cooks, I was so impressed listening to them.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Uh uh, you can tell they've won before and and
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I think we need we need more of that to
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: rub off on some of our other guys. And so hopefully,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: hopefully they'll find a way to get Gilmore back. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: know cook is still under contract, I believe, so he'll
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: probably back. But I was super bummed on on Woodson though.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I just I thought surely he was going to get
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: in this time.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe he'll get in.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Next next year.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: But man, I just can't I just can't believe. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard the players Lounds yesterday,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: but but new he said, people he talked to this
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: is why.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Did you hear that?
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: No, I new he said.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: What he was told is that they think somebody told
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: him they think Woodson is going to get in, but
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: he needs to campaign more. And I thought campaign No,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: God's got three ring.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Then he won't get in. He won't.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: He ain't gonna get able to do it. That's not
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: what he should have too. And that's right, that's that
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: doesn't make any sense. Okay, I'm sorry, I don't know.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what what knew he was talking
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: about or who said that to him, But honestly, that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: makes no sense. Those two those two sentencesn't together. He's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: going to get in, but he needs to campaign more. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean, No, if he's going to get in,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: then he'll get in. He's fine.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it just it just kind of goes to show
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: how political everything is getting now.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: The Hall of Fame is political.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And I think Nui also said that that somebody said
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: they thought there's been too many cowboys getting in. What now,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, coming on, I mean, if you.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Deserve to get in, you get in, right, I mean,
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: you're good.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: And and and for our our team of the nineties
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: only have what five maybe the five or six guys
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: now that's in, and then the coach and the owner.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: But but I don't.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Know if i'd even count d on that so he
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: on play for other teams too, But but I'd say
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: there's probably six players unless I missed a few that
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: are in.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: And and I don't you know, I have to.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Go back and look at it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: But uh, I think there's a lot more Steelers from
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the seventies in yeah, than what we've had from our
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: team in the nineties. And uh yeah, So I mean
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, man, but I was really disappointed,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: bummed out that he didn't get in. Uh and uh,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: but you know, hopefully he'll get in next year.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: I mean that's right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, Jeff, anyway, appreciate it. Thanks, thanks
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: for the call. You got anything else?
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: No, I just did you?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Did you stay for the game at the Super Bowl?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I was out. I got back on Friday, so no,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I've only been to one, and.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: Uh, it was pretty good.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Was born most of the game was kind of born,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: but then got you know, my homes proved proved that
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: he's one of the greatest. I mean, that's just anyway,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I'll hang up and let you get the collars. But
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: but we just we just Scott keep working on Darren somehow.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Definitely thanks for call. Thank you. You know, it's funny.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He said something about Dion is more of a played
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: for other teams. I looked this up one year. You know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Dion actually played for the more games for the Cowboys
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: than any other team in his career, if you count
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and everything. He was with the Cowboys longer
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: than any in anybody else, So I know he gets
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: kind of viewed while he drafted by the Falcons. He
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: his best year was with the forty nine ers and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: all that, but he he played mostly with the Cowboys
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: really than anybody, so you know, he was he was
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: really good. I mean his name never gets mentioned for
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, but you know, I mean Hayley got
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: in in five years. I would I would think Dion
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: would have a shot, you know, because especially when you
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: consider he's the best to ever play his position. So
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Dion's on this list that I just wrote down of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the sixteen players that I saw former Cowboys that were there. Uh,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Sadly I did not see Aaron Woodson. I talked to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: him on the phone he I thought he would be
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: like number one on the list. I thought we're gonna
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: see him for sure, you know, But now he wasn't.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to see actually see him there. But
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I'll go over that here in a little bit. All right,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: let's go real quick here, let's go a text message
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: from Mike from Boston. Mike, we need you to call man.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: We don't have anybody that's ever called from Massachusetts, not
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: one call ever from Massachusetts. So Mike, thanks for the text,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: but tell your buddies or somebody to call. But his
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: question is how crazy you think Rex Ryan's comments were
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: when he latantly said he would not count on Mike
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Zimmer being hired. He went on to elaborate that he
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: reached out to McCarthy and the Joneses during UH, saying
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that he wanted to join them and get them over
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl hump. Yeah, kind of weird. It makes
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: more sense now because he's always been huge cowboy hater
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like you just you can see it on the shows.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: He's on the ESPN countdown or whatever. You can see
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: all that, and Uh, it shifted. You could tell it
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: shifted during the playoffs. I remember listening to it I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: don't try to listen to him that much, but listened
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to it, and I just thought, this is kind of odd.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: You know, he's always the first one. He he. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: thought he was gonna cry about the Lions game, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: when when with the officials and reporting and eligible and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: all that. I mean, he he, I didn't think he
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was gonna be able to make it through the show
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and so you know, but now, but then he kind
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: of shifted as talented team they could win and all that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So now you knew what was going on. He was
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: trying to campaign for it. But you know, I mean,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the Zimmer thing took a little bit of time. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: think there was obviously some contract involved of a contract,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know, issues there. But also, I mean there's a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: window between Friday and Sunday night and Monday that the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: NFL really doesn't want anybody breaking any kind of news
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: or announcing anything. So even though you know, they looks
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: like they had it kind of done Thursday hashing some
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: things out, but then by you know, by Monday, now
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's agreed to terms. I think
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it was probably agreed over the weekend. They just didn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: want to announce some things because I'll say this, it
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: looks like there's already some new coaches in the building.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So there's been some conversations like I think this, this
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was gonna this has been in the works, all right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas? What's up? I didn't see you, man.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: No, I know there was no way you could get in.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: I you know, I looked into it, but they don't
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: accept the public where you guys were, so it'd be like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: no way.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was tough. I mean well, I mean,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, I like you have to walk through
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: like casinos and stuff like that. So you know, Vegas
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: isn't very fun if you're not being able to gamble
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and do all that kind of stuff. You know, you're just.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're going to a casino or even you
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: know down on the strip, if you're not into gambling
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: or eating. They got great restaurants.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I was surprised at how many things closed at eleven.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, what's going on here? I thought, this
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: place never steeps, So maybe not going to the right places.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not going to the right place, or maybe
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: I am.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe I am going to the right places. The ones
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that close at eleven.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: True but how'd you like Vegas? Did you do anything good?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Not really, I wasn't there that that long, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and so I was just there for like two nights.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It was fine. It was fine, but you know, the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Zimmer News, you know, like the focus was was covering
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: NFL Honors and then then all of a sudden it
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: shifted to Zimmer and trying to track that story down,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: which worked out because they didn't win win anything in
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the NFL Honors, so and Woodson didn't didn't get you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: didn't get out of Hall of Fame. So you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it was just kind of a it was kind of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a wow.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, I thought the game itself was I thought
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: it was boring in the beginning. Obviously what quarter and listen,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: I thought the coach of the forty nine ers blew it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, put the ball in party's hand a
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: little too much. I think they should have ran the
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: ball more. And then why you would take the ball
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: and over time and then it doesn't matter what you do.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: But once you kick that field goal, you knew. Patrick
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Mahomes said to himself, Wait a minute, all I need
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: is a field goal, and you're giving me four downs
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: every time every time this is done, this is done.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: And I thought, and then, could you imagine if this
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: was Mike McCarthy after the game and the player said,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: oh yeah, we didn't even know the rules. Could they
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: would cified the Cowboys?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yep. And I have some thoughts on that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I have some thoughts on this whole thing about really
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: who's to blame? But but yeah, I mean I thought
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that the whole thing was crazy. I mean it was,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: it was, yeah, But I just, yeah, you give mahomes
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a chance like that. I mean it's basically like in baseball.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Really when you think about it, I mean it's like,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: all right, we're at the bottom of the ninth. I mean,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we wanted bad last, so we can kind of know
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: what we need to do. Sure, you know, that's kind
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: of what it is.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: I'm hearing people now, some people on the Big Cowboys
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: shows talk about zim Er how they don't know if
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: he could relate to today's player, And I'm like, who cares? Yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's your boss. He's your boss. You don't
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: have to like him. And I got to be honest.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Once I heard Michael Parsons refer to Dan Quinn as
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: like an uncle. I said, no time to go. Now
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: you see why this team led the league and penalties,
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: why you would see they would make some bonehead plays.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: And now I'm glad I called last week. I said
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: I wanted Zimmers just for the tough factor. I would
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: love to see him bulke up Michaeh. Parsons and make
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: them a full time I mean defensive end.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You know, when you think about that, I've never really
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: heard that many people referred to that as like he's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: like an uncle, because I mean, doesn't that kind of
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: tell you a little bit what's going on. I mean,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: uncles tells you, hey, you know, calm down or you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you keep it down, baby sleeping or whatever. But they
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: don't whip your ass. I mean, you know, as your uncle.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: You know, nobody nobody referred to Bill Parcells, well, Bill
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Belichick as uncles.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, you know.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: And and I listen, I like Micah, it bothered me.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: He said he had Jordan Love on the show. Jordan
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Love is basically sitting across from Mike and basically telling
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Micah to his face, dude, we destroyed you because we
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: knew you were a week against the run. And I'm
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: like what is going on here? But that's today. I mean,
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: I did it. As much as I liked Mike on
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the field, it's like, I think he'd rather be a
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: sports commentator at a football player some time.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will, unless unless his teammate just won
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: an award, you know, at the honors at least goes
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: up there and doesn't say anything that I thought that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: was ironical, Like, this is a guy that has been
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: talking all week at Vegas, right, he talked a lot,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and then they went the next gen stats moment of
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the year. I mean, I know that CD I guess
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't there to get it, but he could say something,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: so I just thought that was kind of weird. It's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: like the guy doesn't say anything when you want him to,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and then when you don't.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: City lamb did I. I did like what he said.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: He said, I need to grow up and I need
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: to take more control. And I thought, that's that's what
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: the one of the best players in the league and
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: especially on the team, should say. And I thought that
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: was great. I liked how he talked about his mom
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: comment real quick didn't really get it, but said, hey, Lis'ten,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: that's that's my mom and I get that. Yeah, but uh,
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: I just think Micah needs a kick in the butt.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Let's be honest, and if if anybody's going to do
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: it's gonna be Zim. He'll bring out the best yeah
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: in my in Michael. But I would love to see
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: him put on twenty pounds. I don't want him being
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: a linebacker. He doesn't want it. Get some good linebackers
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: in free agency and put him up and down the
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: line at about two sixty five and hopefully he doesn't
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: wear out where he's only good giving us one sack
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: in December.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's got to realize that it's okay not
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to beat Tyreek Hill in a race. You know, it's okay.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: It's okay that you're not doing that. Yeah, which I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: think we all know if we saw the race, he
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: didn't really beat Tyre.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's a phenom and yeah, I know he's
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: fast and that's great, but you know, you're not fast
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: enough to make up for three hundred pound guys smashing
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: on you.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: All right, Rob, thanks for the call, man, good stuff,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You got it all right. You know we have an
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: article should be on the website now or soon about
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I did talk to Darren Woodson about Mike Zimmer, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: he one thing that he said, this is the headline
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: of the article, is that he's not going to be
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: their friend. He's not. That's not what he's there to do.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And he tells the story. You know, I've told the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: story that he said in here about how he just basically,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you know, said, right, here's all your bad place from
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: last year. You kind of you know, humbles these guys.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: That's what they need to hear so they can be elite.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You know, he wants the great ones to be elite.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: He wants the good ones to be great. He wants
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the ones that are very good to be good. I mean,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: whatever that next level is for you. And and you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: know he's probably never seen the perfect person, the perfect player.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: So that means I mean he did coach Deon. You know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I bet he was pretty critical on Dion. Dion loves him,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he absolutely loves Zimmer. So and that's one story.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I do remember one time, I remember sitting on a
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: bus after the Cowboys played the Giants in the meadow Lands.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It was nineteen ninety nine and Zimmer was the defensive
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: backs coach. Campo was the coordinator and and Gaily was
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the head coach, and there was a lot of talk
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that Campo was going to get a head coaching job.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And I remember they had lost to the Giants, and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Dion was on the bus. He was on saying I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: was probably on the wrong bus because Deon walks right
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: by and he says to Campo, don't take Zim with you,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Camps when you get a job. Come to find out,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Gaily is the one that got fired. Campo got promoted
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But there's how much respect that
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: he had for him. Let me go back to the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: play of the forty nine ers on Shanahan not taking
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the ball. I thought of it immediately. But I'll say this,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and I've said it before, this is not just because
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl. I think it's ridiculous that we
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: have different rules for the Super Bowl or even for
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. You shouldn't get to the ultimate game and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: not know what the rule is. What is the rule
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in this like, it makes no sense to me. These
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: games all matter? Okay, how many games? I mean that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: just showing Jason Garrett up here, he gets talked about.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: He think his playoff record never gets mentioned. It's the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: elimination games that get mentioned because he lost some elimination
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: games which aren't playoff games, but we'll just call him
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: elimination games. That's a good way to kind of bash
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: on his record. Even more, well, that means those games matter.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: There's regular season games that matter. This is it. Either
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: you make it or you don't. You only play seventeen games,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: some of them are very very important. So why we
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: have different rules? Who cares about if the game goes
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: long twenty minutes, it'll be fine. Sixty minutes will air
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: on the West coast, right, I mean, crap, we'll watch
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it then, Like it doesn't matter if these games, just
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: make it fair and do it the whole time, so
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you don't get to the playoffs and no one knows
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: what the hell's going on because there hasn't been a game.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying the forty nine ers, you know, I'm
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: not excusing them for that, but they hadn't played in
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: these games, and they probably should have because you would
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: have had the rule like that. There's no reason why
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if the rule is good enough for the regular season,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I mean for the playoffs, why is it not good
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: enough for the regular season. Don't throw baseball at me
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: or hockey or anything like that, because they play one
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two baseball games and eighty two hockey
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and basketball games. So if you want to switch it up,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that's fine. You have plenty of chances to get to
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. But in football you have seventeen games, So
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: there's no reason why these games should be considered not
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: as important as the playoffs. If this is the rule,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this is the way you want it in the playoffs,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: make it that way in the regular season. That's my
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: rant for the day. All right, we have another caller here.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: We got Scott in New Hampshire.
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: Nick, you hear me?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, what's up? I know you've been holding a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: little bit. How you doing?
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no problem, dude, I'm just excited to talk to you. Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: but a little bit. Last time we chatted, I think
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: we were approaching the Packer game and with the excitement
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: was there and now obviously we are where we're at now. Yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: I think, uh, first off, I wanted to say thank you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: I mean, we talk about the Dallas Cowboys. I think
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: I can speak for every caller who calls in. There
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: really is no off season for us. I mean the
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: true fans, like we are excited for the draft, we're
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: excited for free agency? Yeah, or are we our expectations
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: probably lower than we had hoped, and we were, you know,
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: dealing with the disappointment. Yeah, but you know, I feel
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: like the true fans are still going to be following
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: the Cowboys.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: Thank you, so thanks to keep thanks keep giving us content.
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: My my big question, and I'll hang out, is when
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: we look at michaelccarthy. One thing that he's done is
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: he's given his captains bi weekly. And one thing that
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: we've noticed I feel like is a lack of leadership
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: on this team. And even on Michael Parsons podcasting and
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: cedeelamb we're talking about how there really isn't, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: much leadership and that they need to hold themselves more accountable.
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: And I'm just curious if that's maybe something that goes
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: into it is we don't actually have assigned leaders or
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: assigned captains for the entire season, and that people kind
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: of get to check in and check out each week
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: with who their captains are. So I'll hang up and listen.
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: I just I appreciate you taking the call.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you so much. Scott that's a really good point.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Let said, I don't know if not everybody's listening or
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: not everybody, I'm sorry, and everybody's watching, so I'll say
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that I'm not I'm not sure if that matters at all,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: As I nod my head, yeah, I think it doesn't matter.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's a heck of a point when you're
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: when you have a team that you think there's a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: leadership void, or you think that there's there's some not
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: as much continuity as you would need. I thought this
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: same thing when I watch the Super Bowl, when I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: watch the guys up there, and I don't know if
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they do that differently in the playoffs or maybe who knows,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: maybe McCarthy has a different plan for the playoffs. So
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: how it builds up, I don't really remember. I can't
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: tell you who the captains were for the Packers game. Honestly,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they did there. But I see
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it every week. I mean every week you go and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you you know, they're playing the Eagles, and there's you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: there's Hurts, there's Reddick, you know, there's Lane Johnson, you know,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and then you've got you know, no offense to these guys.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: But I mean, you know you've got you know, some
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: lineback you or Marques Bell, you know, is as a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: captain for the week, or or you know, maybe it's
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: your long snapper or Trent c Here, you know, whoever
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: it is. I mean, and there's there's a method to it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really share it with us, which is fine,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: but you know, it's just it seems more like a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you know, little league soccer, you know, trophies where everybody
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: gets what everyone gets to be captain at some point.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way they do it. When my
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: son was playing soccer, you know, it was like you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the captain. You're the captain today, Like yes, you know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: tales never fails. I mean, that's that's what you have
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to do. But I think it goes more to it
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: than that when you're talking about actual leaders on the team.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: And you know me personally, I never coached the game
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I know I never will, but
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I mean I would have. I would have a special
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: teams a captain, a defensive captain, and offensive captain every game,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: these three guys, and if you want to do some
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: kind of thing where this week it's this guy or whatever,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: it's the fourth one or fourth and fifth or whatever
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you want to say. That's fine. You know you can
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: put five out there, but I mean every week, I
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: think you need to have you know, Dak should be
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the captain or Tank or Mike or whoever it is
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: on defense. You know, those should be the guys and
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: then then you can mix it up from there. That's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: just my opinion. Is that the reason why they're losing? No,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: probably not, but you know what, like you said, it's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: a long offseason, so we had a lot of things
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to talk about, and that could be one of them.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: All Right, Travis and san Antonio, what's going on? Nick Haran,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: Pretty good? Tales never fails for sure, always yeah to
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: go for me, I was, I didn't watch the game.
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: I've entered my krusty stage of like when the Cowboys
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: are out, I'm out.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And so you've never seen a super Bowl, Like you
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: haven't seen one in thirty years.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: I haven't seen one in probably the last five.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, it's just.
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: And I think, well, I mean, to be fair, part
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: of it is I get into the draft stuff, so
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: I kind of shift my focus and we just focus
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: into that just because the last couple year has been
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: so brutal that I just turn it off. That's my
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: I'll out myself, that's my defense. Mechans just I just
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: don't not interesting to me anymore. After the Cowboys are out.
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: But the DeMarcus Ware thing, Sorry, yeah, Lawrence, I heard that,
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: and I don't know, and I know there's been different
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: things said about like maybe he was trying to protect
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: some people or whatnot, and I just just it was
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: one of those things where it flustered me so much
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: where I was just like, even if that's the case,
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: you just it's just some things you just can't say.
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: Because there's only two things in sports, at least from competing,
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: whether it's a local basketball court or a football field,
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: there's only two words that usually get guys going, and
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: that's the B word and soft, and I just I can't. Yeah,
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: there's some others, but those are definitely two. To hear
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: those two and there's usually something going on, and that's
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: you know, football players are for sure.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't.
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: You never want to hear soft And that just to
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: me screams that's what you're saying, that's what that's what
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: opponost want to hear. They want to hear, like, oh,
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: this guy's tired, and he's telling me he's tired. Even
• 39:08
  Speaker 10: if you're on a field and you're tired, you're not
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: going to say it to somebody because they're going to
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: go after you. And that part was tough to hear. Micah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: I think he's getting to the point where this not
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: against anybody doing their own thing, but it's getting to
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: the point where, like you just watch stuff on Twitter
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: and he's responding to trolls, he's responding to just just
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: like honestly me.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Like dudes like me.
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: He's just responding to everybody. And I think it's starting
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: to get to a point with him where it's like
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: a law of diminishing returns, where it's like like KD
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: went through this and eventually he figured it out, like
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: you're playing a game that you can't win with the
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: media and respond to every Fred or Joe and you know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: flower mouth. But this random places. So hopefully maybe later
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: in his career he'll figure it out that it's just
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: not as it's not worth you know, responding to everybody
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: on Twitter. I'm not saying that that's contributing to like,
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: you know, wins and losses. But I just think it's
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: a waste of his time. But that's just me.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: It's not just it's not just you. It's not just you.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of people that think that way.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, like that's that's a popular opinion. So
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: when you say it's just me, it isn't. It isn't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that feel that way. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it's getting you know, it's getting to be problematic, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: it's getting the really problematic when you start calling out
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: your own teammates.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if he necessarily called them out,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: but he sure didn't come to their defense. And so
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: maybe that's the same thing.
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: And I know you mentioned this earlier, and I'll say
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: this and then I'll get off and see what you think.
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: But I do you know, we've we've talked about in
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: the past with this team, and I'm not saying I'm
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: not going to be you know, disrespect. I have respect
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: for again for JaMarcus Lawrence, thinking I'm sure he's great guy.
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: You know, he's always I've never had any issues. However,
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: it does between that and maybe it's just this week
• 40:57
  Speaker 10: with mic and stuff. We need more CD lambs and
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: less of that type of stuff. And it just makes
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: me wonder and I hate to say it, but makes
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: me wonder. Like you said, how close is the team?
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: Maybe it's not as close as we thought. And at
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: the same time we've said we have the right guys,
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: we say that, you know, we say that the last six, seven,
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: eight years, Maybe we don't have enough of the right guys.
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: You just see what you think.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good point. You know, you need more.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: That's it's just like with playmakers. You know, like, yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: we got some playmakers, but you need you need more
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: of them. You need more of them at the right
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: spot at the right time. You mean, this seemed hat
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: what ten pro bowlers on the team that they have talent,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: but but there's it's at different spots too, you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and you need some at You can't have a pro
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: bowler at every position, but you can you can certainly try.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: So you know the thing you're still there.
• 41:50
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I was gonna say. And last thing I
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: was gonna say, because everyone's been saying, even though it's repetitive,
• 41:55
  Speaker 10: is Darren woods In regardless of the game, not watching
• 41:58
  Speaker 10: the game, Darren Woodson not getting into the whole name
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: as absolute full you know what. Yeah, that's just that's
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: just what it is. So I don't know what they're
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: doing as far as voting going on, but him not
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: getting in is it's a bleeping.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Joke, is what it is.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: All Right, Thanks Dravis. I appreciate that. Thanks to call
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: for the call. Let's go to Derek and Seattle. Derek,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Hey there, how you doing?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm doing good?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: What do you got?
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just calling just two things. One is it seems
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: like Dallas is just the last couple of years they've
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: shifted to playing these seven safeties on the field and
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: it's killing me because we get ran all over. So
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: just the thought on, you know, they need two real
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: linebackers and then they got to run the ball.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: I just you know.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: And and then the other thing is, you know, you
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: always hear people say, oh, they're so far away. So
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: in one off season you can turn your whole team around.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: If you hit on two or three draft picks, two
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: or three free agents, boom, they're right there for competing
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: for a championship.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, and I appreciate it. First time, call, right, Derek,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: First time call.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, since I was an infant, so watched all the
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Super Bowls. But it has been a long dry run.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: It has, it has, and it gets mentioned every year,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: it gets it gets pointed out every year how many
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: years it's been. Nobody ever has to do any research
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: on that, like how long has it been? Like everybody
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: knows is this year is going to be twenty nine.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows, we get it. No, you're right, running the
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: ball and stopping the run. I mean, uh, more linebackers,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: more more beef in the middle to run the football.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that's that's the that's got
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: to be the key. That's got to be the key
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: for this team. And you know, like you said, you
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: got to have a good offseason. You got to hit
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: on some of these draft picks, You got to hit
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: on some free agents. You also need to have, you know,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: some a new coordinator that that could maybe change some things.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about when when Dan Quinn was here.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: You know, he he actually gave you some better players
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: with the guys you had already on the team, you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: like like what he gave you with Donovan Wilson. I
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: mean he made Donovan Wilson into a really good player,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I think, just the way he used him, you know.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And so think like that when you look at free
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: agency as well and say, all right, oh, they signed
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: some guy like who is this guy? You know, I've
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: never heard of him where he play played for the Vikings, Like, oh, okay,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: never heard of him, kind of like you had never
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: heard of jay Ron Curse really, you know. But Quinn
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: had had a plan for him, just like Zimmer might
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: have a plan for some of these guys and how
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: they're gonna fit this team. So Belichick did that for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: years too, like bringing in guys that you wouldn't think
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: were that good or whatever, but he had a role
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: for them. So yeah, you can. You can make some
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: splashes in the offseason, especially when you're changing up your
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: scheme and your coordinator like this. All right, well, I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: think that's it for the for the calls today, open lines, right, Chris.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I think we're unless we can lest the phones ring,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna We're gonna end it. So
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it's been a good show for everybody.
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: I got.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: We got a call Eric in North Carolina. Eric, North Carolina, Man,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: what's up, hey, Nick?
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: How are you doing today?
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing? You're gonna be our
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: last call to think?
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: Okay, all right, I always seem to get the last
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: call that. I just want to talk a little bit
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: about Uh Will McLay. Like every year he's like highly
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: thought after and there's always several teams that want to
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: make him GM uh. But it seems and I know,
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: and I've listened to him. I know he's a highly
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: intelligent man. He knows, he knows football, he knows talent.
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: But it seems like, uh, not every year, but it
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: seems like we don't listen to him. It seems like
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: we listen to the d C, you know, or the
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: or the o C, and we wind up reaching for
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: for players in the drafts and we don't get the
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: best the best player. And I was just wondering if
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: you have any comments on that, well, hold on.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Before you before you go, I mean, like, are you
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: suggesting that are you saying that they don't draft that well?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I mean I think this team drafts well. I'm sorry,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, even this last even with this last one,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: they still draft well. And I think they listen to him.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's running the draft in there, he
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of praise for some of these picks.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm just not going to be one to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: say Mozzi and Schoomaker and you know, the picks from
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: this year and say they don't draft well because because
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: they do. I mean they in the last fourteen years,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you know, there's been three years where the first round
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: pick hasn't made the Pro Bowl, you know, and it
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: with Mazie and it's Taco and it's Clayborne. Everybody else
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: makes the Pro Bowl. I mean, they get I think
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: they do a really good job drafts, and I think
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I think Will mclaig gets a lot of credit for that.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I really do.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know we draft better than most teams. It's
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: just that when we miss, you know, like last year's
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: draft still stings, and like when we when we miss
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: on a top a top one hundred player, it just yeah,
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: it just buzzed me.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: Uh like I'll just.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: Throw out, like, uh, Gallimore, like I just I mean,
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: I know he's a free agent and I hope we
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: don't re sign him, but like every uh, every time
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: the camera's on him, I see him getting like ridden
• 47:30
  Speaker 7: out and like wash down the line. Yeah, and the
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: same thing with you know, the same thing with Mazie.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: And I know you can.
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: I know you can pick and choose players like I
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: am excited about about Jalen Brooks from last year and
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: Richard's the offensive lineman and Overshown. I think they're gonna
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: be good players. Yeah, But you know, it's like it's
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: like seems like this draft where we're we're still needing
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: the same players as last year. You know, like it
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: seemed like we didn't make any progress, you know, like
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: on the like on the O line or the D line.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: And that's fair. I mean, like last year's draft really
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: did it? Did it help you? Like you like you
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: would think that's that is fair? But you're going to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: have to do that two more times and hopefully we
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: don't see that two more times, but that's going to
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: have to happen like three years in a row before
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I think, Okay, we got a problem here, because I
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: think when you look at them and how they draft
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and how they draft in the middle rounds, you know
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: that they I mean there was a stretch here where
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the franchise tag for four straight years went to a
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: fourth round pick. You know, fourth round pick is getting
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: your franchise tag. Dak got it twice. Schultz got it,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Pollard got it. You know, I mean Deron bland Is
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: is an pro bowler, you know, all pro. In the
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: fifth round, you hit some you know, you you have
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: to hit on some of these third, fourth, and fifth rounders.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: And I think for the most part you named a
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: couple that haven't hit, but there are some that that have.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: And and I think you know, as long as you
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: keep doing that, and you gotta you gotta win on
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: your first round pick. Right now, they're not winning on
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: their first round pick last year from Mazzie Smith. They're
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: not winning. If Zimber comes in has a different you know,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: view for him, changes things up, gets him to play
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: at a much higher level, then yeah, I mean, and
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: you could kind of flip it around a little bit.
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well that's great. I appreciate it. Yeah, are
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: you looking for I mean, I know, I know this
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: isn't the draft show, but I was wondering if you
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: have like two or three players like coming out of
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: college that you would love to see the Cowboys sick.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe Yeah, I'm honestly, I'm really not there at all.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I I kind of wait a little a little longer
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: on that. You know, I let the you know, let
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: the stories come out of the combine and pro days
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: and and things like that. It's just not ever been
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: my thing. Uh, there's a lot of fans that are,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and we got a lot of people on our staff
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: that just love it, can't get enough of it. I
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: tend to wait a little bit. I would just be
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: throwing names out there just because at twenty now, if
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: they were picking in the top five or ten or whatever,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and you kind of get a good vision of how
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: things might fall, then I think it's not too early
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: to do that. But for me at twenty four, I mean,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: i'd be surprised if the Cowboys are taking it twenty four,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it wouldn't be surprised if they're
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: doing some shuffling trading things around. So it's always a
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: little bit it's always a little bit premature for me.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't really have names for you there, and
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I probably won't give you some names until about mid April,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: maybe right for the draft. It's just not really been
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: my thing. But we good good news is we got
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: two draft shows a week Tuesday and Thursday, the Draft Show,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and then some of them are gonna be going up
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to the combine and next week, so we'll start really
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: kind of zeroing in on this.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I understand.
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you, Nick, thank you, Thanks.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Eric, thanks for the call. All Right, that'll do it
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: for this show. We'll be back on Thursday. We'll be
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: able to talk a little bit more about you know,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: free agencies getting closer right around the corner. It is
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: next month. It's about a month away now, so we
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: can talk a little bit about that and any other
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: questions that you have, and you know, stay tuned to
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: the website schedule and we'll announce if there's a press conference.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: It could be a press conference later in the week
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: with McCarthy and new DC Mike Zimmer. So all right,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: So for that for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: will see you on Thursday. On Cowboys Storyline.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
