  Speaker 4: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Heatman. It is Tuesday,
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: April sixteenth, and it is time to talk some more
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Cowboys football A little bit different this week. Some of
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: the players are back in the building, not all of them,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sure if you've heard or aware of, but the voluntary,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: very important word, voluntary off season conditioning program and the
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: workouts have started. A lot of the players are here
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and working out two different sessions morning afternoon. We've seen
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: him walking around. Good participation for sure. Remember it is voluntary,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: so if you don't make it for whatever the reason, shouldn't.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Be the end of the world. Especially if you're a.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Badass player that's already at an all pro level and
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: you've got a good reason, you're gonna be here when
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: it counts. That's where I think the Cowboys stands on
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: as well, and have a feeling it'll be brought up
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: at some point in the show.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: All right, eight eight eight eight.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Five five two two ninety seven is the number two
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: call Chris not in today, but we got some We
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: got Jazz working in the back.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: We got this thing.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: It's not the first time she's done that, and we
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: will keep this thing rolling.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Let's start us off. Let's go Michael Colton, California. What's up?
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: What's going on to the whole Cowboys nation? What's going on? Nick?
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: I know everybody's great and doing fine as anyways, I'll
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: get right to it. Hey, I just want to say
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: that I think that me personally. I know it's just
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: my opinion, but if Michael Pennix falls all the way
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: to number twenty four. I'm a big college football fan,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: watch a lot of college football. I've seen Caleb Williams
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: play live a couple of times, and I'm not impressed
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: with him. But I honestly think Michael Pinnix is going
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: to be the best quarterback of this draft. He reminds
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: me a lot of Drew Brees and and even you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: not not even the whole argument if Dak is good
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: or he's not. Besides that, from a business standpoint, I
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: think we need to get him as an insurance policy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I know we have Trey Lance, but I don't think
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: it's gonna hurt if he turns out good and they're
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: both good, it's not gonna hurt you to have two
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: great quarterbacks, you know. And also my throwback cowboy I
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: just want to throw out there from from uh you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: is Andre Garoe Gira excuse me, number sixty five, the
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: big man in the middle, and and I'll just go
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: ahead and leave it at that. I think we do
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: need a center, but I think the center depth is
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: pretty great, so I'll leave it at that. God bless
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: you guys. Have a great day. Thank you, Nick. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I sent my shirt size and everything on the text line,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: so yeah, you guys got it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Michael referring to the all Storyline
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: team that which he made last year and which gets
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: you a T shirt. We're just trying to collect the
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: T shirt sizes right now, and you can text those
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: in on the text line number that I'm trying to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: get up on the screen. But but well I haven't
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: got that with memorized, but text us your shirt size,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: your address, so we can certainly send that to you
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: when the shirts come in. All right, Michael's questions about
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Michael Pennocks and any quarterback. I'm not for that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's a good idea at twenty four.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that because I don't. Yes, he could
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: be special, but nobody thinks he is. And that's that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the point. I mean, yes, Tom Brady was special, nobody
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: thought he was for a long time in that draft.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And yes, there's always Aaron Rodgers. You can you can
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: make the case for a lot of those, but you
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna find those guys in the sixth round,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: find guy twenty fifth overall.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna if you're gonna find.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: That, then then make sure and remember all the other
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: first round or second round, third rounds that did not
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: turn into that. So I just don't think I would
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: risk that in a year like this, where the window
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: is closing on being able to be very competitive. I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: getting a player that can help me right now, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I don't think a backup quarterback that probably wouldn't even
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: be second, I mean maybe second, maybe third, when you
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: already have that kind of project guy to develop in
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Trey Lance. I wouldn't do that, and I know Mike
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: McCarthy wouldn't want that either. Why is he here, Why
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: is he here to try to win this this year?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: If you're gonna go and you're gonna draft the quarterback,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: you're not helping Dak.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You're not helping anybody do that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: So I don't think that's what the strategy is for
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: this season, and that doesn't fit the strategy to me.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: You need to go get a guy that can go
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: play some football this year and make you better this
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: that's my opinion. All right, let's go to Bruce in Houston.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Bruce taking my call, I agree with you as well. Uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: not to talk bad about the previous caller, but Dallas
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: has already made their quarterback draft with Lance and and
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: another thing and which which was great because you're trying
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: to catch genie in a bottle. You know, a first
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: round talent on a fourth round pick. You know, you're
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: a genius that that pulls off. And if they did
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: draft a quarterback, he's not playing this year unless they
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: got trade already for uh Prescott, which I doubt they do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: so you'd lose almost two years of eligilibate eligibility of
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: his you know that five years that they want so
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: desperately on a quarterback, and that kind of leads me
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: into my my point.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: I don't think they'll go after quarterback at all, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: not even in day four because we only have so
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: many picks unless they trade back and get multiple I
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: don't think this is the year to do that. Now.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: That's why I to me, I would build up my
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: offensive line and defensive line, make it stronger for the
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: next quarterback if you've got to. And that's another question.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Two three weeks ago, if JPJ is on there, we
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: all run to the draft boards. I don't understand about
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: his medicals. I don't know what's popped up that we
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: didn't already know about him. That's got everybody's scared. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: think if kimber Barton is there at twenty four, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: think you really should pull the trigger and build your
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: offensive line so that if you do let Dak go well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: then Trey Lances at least got a fighting chance. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: then twenty twenty five, if Dak is gone, well, then
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: you go get your quarterback and if you got to,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: you know, trade someone to get it higher in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: draft pick or are either let Lance play and then
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: if he does terrible, then we we know we definitely
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: will have a higher pick to pick from and go
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: get a quarterback in twenty six. But I just wanted
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: to hang up and listen to you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Nick, all right, Thank you to you too, you know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I mean that's just the way I feel about it,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and I think Bruce is the same way. I mean,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: it just doesn't help you right now go and draft
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: a quarterback. I mean, it just doesn't help you right now.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what this team is trying to
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: do is win right now. I mean that's why they
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you know, Mike Zimmer's here for on one year, Mike
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: McCarthy's on one year. You know Dak who knows what
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the future is for him. So you know, this is
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the time to go win. You still have a very
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: talented football team, a lot of players coming back from
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowls, and so you can go win.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Sometimes some some teams are set up for drafting quarterbacks
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: or whatever. But like you said, Bruce, you don't have
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of picks to choose from. You didn't do
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: anything in free agency really other than get Eric Kendricks.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: So you need some help. You need to get some
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: guys in here right now that can help.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So all right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: That's you know, if you disagree, I mean, call in
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: text in, you know, give me some reasons why that
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: would make sense. But you know, you do have a
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: younger quarterback also here. He's only got one more year
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: left on his deal in Trey Lance, but you kind
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: of already have that developmental guy. So that's kind of
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: what I'm thinking. All right, Let's go to the text line.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: By the way, that number, that text line number is
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: and text theer questions in. And if you're one of
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: those on the all storyline team, you haven't sent your
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: name and address and T shirt size, please do that
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: soon so we can get a shirt out to you.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to Michael and Maryland for the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: text question. He says, as of right now, how do
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: we stay optimistic as fans as a team. The Cowboys
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: haven't improved and the last time we saw them they
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: were ran off the field. That's fair, I mean that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: that's you know, you stay optimistic because it's a new
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: year and you and you start over, and you and
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: you and you think, I mean, can you build off
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: of last year's team? Like you don't think you've improved.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, like you said, as a team, the Cowboys
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: haven't improved. That's an opinion, like that's that's just an
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: opinion that that is not a fact. You don't know that,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: And how would you know that? How does how does
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy know that? How does anybody know that? You're
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: you're saying that the losses of be Oddish, Armstrong, uh,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Tony Pollard uh will outweigh what they you know, what
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: they add with the draft, what they add in guys
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: that they feel like can be those type of players.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know those are the three right there,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Tyron Smith, I mean, that's that's gonna be a That's
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: a tough one. I was a day one player. He
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: came in and you gotta you gotta replace. You gotta
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: have a guy at left tackle for sure. But you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Beaddish developed into a starter, dorits Armstrong developed, I mean
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: the word the bust label was thrown around to him,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: and be Oddish a little at some point early on.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Pollard was not really a starter until this last year
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and it was proven that he probably shouldn't be a starter,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: he should be a role player. They lost some key
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: players that they developed into that, and I think the
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Cowboys are hoping that they can develop some other players
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: and it's and you know, they have a lot of guys,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of young players, young draft picks for the
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: last couple of years that they're hoping to replace. Also,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: just the development of guys on this roster, it happens.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: It happens going up, it happens going down as well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: They're hoping more of them, you know, more of the
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: like you just you couldn't equate what Deron Bland was
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: gonna do from last year, you know, the year before
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: to what he did this last season. Same with Ceedee Lamb.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: So you know, I don't look at this and go, oh,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: they definitely not improved. It looks like other teams have
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: improved because of what they've added, but it doesn't mean
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: that they've improved as a team. And it doesn't mean
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys happened. I mean, I will only time will
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: tell on that. So you stay optimistic because it's sports,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and like stuff happens all the time that you don't expect.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: And this team is good. This is still a good
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: football team with good players. You can't tell me that
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: any team if I were to say well, how do
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you think this team's gonna do? Like, well, they got
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: ten Pro bowlers. You wouldn't ask, well, did they lose
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: four or five role players?
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And who they replaced him with?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: You would be like, Okay, they got ten Pro bowlers, Like,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and they've won twelve games three years in a row,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: and they got some continuity coming back. They got a
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: change in defense which might help, you know, change the defense.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Like cool, you'd be fine with that. You'd be optimistic
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: about that. And I think that's the point I'm trying
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: to make you be optimistic there. All right, let's go
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to Dylan Northport, Florida.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But Hey, a couple of things. So first off, not
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: taking a quarterback in the draft. That's like the last
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: position I would look at. We already spent a fourth
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: round pick on a quarterback, which looks like it's really
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: painful to not have that fourth round pick this year. Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So I haven't squalled into the draft here with the Cowboys,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and I don't know how long. I can't tell you
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: the last time, but it's had so many holes. So
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the last thing I'm going to do is take a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: guy who's going to sit on the bench this year
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and who knows for the future, So no, thanks to that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm lets say trade back and collect a bunch of picks.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: That's that's both different. But as it stands now, no
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: quarterback not interested in trading Seedy or Micah. I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: all that talk is kind of nonsensical to me. You've
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: got both guys are generational talent. CD's already breaking records here.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I saw Where's numbers matched up with Micah's numbers their
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: first however many seasons it's been now and Micah is
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: beating him hands down in every category. I mean, you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: don't get rid of your best players. I mean just
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: at any point. I mean, if you're in an extreme
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: rebuild and you have to collect, you know, a ton
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of picks, maybe I could see in that scenario, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: not there yet, So not trading out of one of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: those guys. And then I had a couple of questions
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: for you, Uh, Trey, Let's say Tray comes out this
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: preseason plays, well, what do you think, because obviously he's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: not on our contract next year, what do you think
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: his salary ranges? And do you think it'll be like
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a one year proven deal? And then my other question
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: for you would player Tray? Yeah, go ah and im
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: And I'm working under the assumption, like you know, I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: don't think this is going to happen. But if Dak
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: were to leave, right, Dak's gone next year and they're
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: going to extend Trey, what kind of deal is Trey
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: looking at? I don't think that's going to happen, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just kind of curious to see what his salary
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: range would be in your eyes. And then as far
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: as the draft goes, sitting there twenty four, what position
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: do you value the most? Let's say like center, guard, tackle,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: running back, de tackle, linebacker. They're all sitting there right,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: all of our positions and needs, and they're all like
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the highest rated guys on the Cowboys board that are
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: left that point, which position do you think they'll take?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: And what would you take?
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: As far as all right, all right, thanks, thank you.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: You know this is shaping up to be the most
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: important I mean it could be, let's say, the most
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: important preseason that we've seen in a long time, because
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: not so much the wins and losses, but how how guys,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: how Trey Lance plays, not guys, how Trey Lance plays
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: that could affect a lot of things. And if you'd
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: think preseason doesn't matter, just go back and think about
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: moments with quarterbacks where it did. You know, things changed
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: with the Cowboys with Dak Prescott the way he played
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: in the preseason in twenty sixteen. I mean Tony got
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: hurt or you know, he wouldn't even hurt yet when
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Dak played the first couple of games and played really well,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: that changed everyone's opinion about where he could be. Then
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Tony got hurting in Seattle game that comes in there,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: does really well and it's like, Okay, he's the guy.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He can handle this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Trey Lance has to has to show something in the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: preseason to say all right, let's see what they have here.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't be just for the Cowboys though, I mean,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: he's auditioning for everybody, So you know, the Cowboys would
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: have first DIBs, They could sign them if they wanted to,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: but they are again up against it in the in
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: the Solary cap of course for next year too. So
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: but the the preseason, sorry, the preseason is going to
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: be very very important for for Trey Lance. And you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: and just to see how he does in those games,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: how he performs doesn't have to win the game because
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: he may not play the whole game. But me personally,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I probably would, you know, playing the whole game. Ask
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: for your question, Dylan about the priority on you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: those need positions like center, running back, defensive tackle, left,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: you know, left, the tackle, Uh, you know they're all needs.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: So but I but I would think you know, if
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: your left tackles rated higher, you know, or as high,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: then you know your left tackle would probably be one
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: that that would be the highest priority. But that's a
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: tough question because you have to look at the overall
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: depth too. You know, think about what happens if you
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: pass on left tackle second or third round? Will you
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: have some guys there that that you still like? I
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: if you pass on the center, is there anyone else
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: at center later on that you like? So that's a
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: tough question. I would you know, you have to just
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: have the whole board in front of you and go,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: how can we feel this thing?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Left?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: You know, tackles usually graded higher than other positions, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: you're not. You know, if you're getting a left tackle
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a twenty fourth pick, he's not viewed as a cornerstone
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: franchise guy, probably because he would have been taken earlier,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: but you could be getting the very best center at
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: twenty four because that's just a position that typically doesn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: go high. So I kind of lean that way, like
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: I know I'm getting great value if I take a
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: center in the first round. So that's that's kind of
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the way I view that. All Right, the phone lines
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: are open eight to eight A A way do have
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: one color online, but still having an open phone line
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: eight A to A A FI five two two nine
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: to seven. Let me get a question real quick from
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: the text line. This is Chris in New York. He said,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: from a statistical and talent standpoint, there's no comparison between
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: CD and DeVante Smith from the Eagles. Smith's contract will
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: ultimately impact CDs in my opinion. Smith is a receiver too.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sure some would argue that he's a one B,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: but that's beside the point. It's not really beside the point.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: It is the point. Anyway, if a wide receiver two
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: is getting twenty five million a year, what do you
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: think CD's price would be? Now, I think it's very
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: important to throw out there that he's not a wide
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: receiver too. He's he's on a team that wants to
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: have two number ones. They want to have two guys
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: at that point. You don't just get slotted as to
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: two because we think about it from a pitcher standpoint,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: just because you're not starting on opening day, but you
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: still might be winning. You know, the cy young doesn't
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: mean you're gonna get paid less because you're not the
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: day one starter.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: If you're pretty dang good, then you're you're pretty good.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, regardless of that. So you got to look
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: at Demante Smith as a as a you know, one
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: of those top receivers, and if he's making that, that's fine.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I mean I wouldn't put him at number two.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: If if AJ Brown got traded or whatever, I mean,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: they're not trying to draft the receiver to go number one,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't think they have two guys. It's just the
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: way it's sort of worked out either way.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: Though.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: He's, like you said, he's not CD Lamb, so his money,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: you know, CD's got to start in the threes. He's
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: got to be a thirty. That's I think, that's that's inevitable.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: That's gonna have to happen. And so regardless of Palette
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: looks on the back end. That's got the way it's
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: got to look on the front end, because that's what
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill's you know, contract looks like. And even though
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: he's been a little bit more productive here lately, but
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: from from you, you get these guys for what you
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: expect them to do. So I would expect that that
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the next five years Ceedee Lamb is going to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: better than than Tyreek Hill's production, I would think. But fast,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: it's fast. I mean, I mean, Cheetah's old Cheetahs could
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: still run. I'm sure so, Uh, he's still gonna always
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: have a spot. But but I think, you know, I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: think he's got to be in the thirty range, no
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: doubt about it. So all right, let's go to uh
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Champ in Nebraska is our next caller?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Champ?
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nicko up?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: How you doing.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: I'm going well. I feel like I'm always kind of
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: late to the party on stuff. Last week, you guys
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: were talking about guy movies, and I feel like every
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: time I call in, I'm catching up on something that
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: happened in a previous show. But yeah, I want to
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: throw out real quick knock around, guys. It's an older
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: Vin Diesel movie. I don't know if you've ever seen
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: it or heard of it. It's a good one one
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: scene in it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, No, I've not heard that movie. Go ahead, No.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: It's it's kind of like an old mobster movie and
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: they get stuck out in Montana. There's a great scene
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: like that. There's one scene that he fights a guy
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: that just totally it's a guy movie. You gotta check
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: it out, all right, all right? And also being the
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: off season, I have a little vet the wager with
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: you up being a Texas Tech fan. They're playing your
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: Razorbacks tonight. That's right, So number two team in the
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: country got the Red Raiders coming in two, your number two,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: you were number one. It looks like they dropped a
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: couple of games last week and they dropped the number two,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: A and M jumped to number one. But I just
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: wanted to put a friendly wager out there. I don't
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: know really the terms or anything, but you know, maybe
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: if Texas Tech wins, maybe I could get a signed
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: picture or something to hang in my man cave downstairs.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: And do you think of something you'd like for me?
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Maybe something from the college old they.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Lose, if they lose, if they get swept, I'll where
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech socks. There you go right now, right here
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: on the show. It'll be so embarrassing for me to now,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I'm kidding.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say that. You're going to have to
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: show them the whole time, kiddy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: There's not a lot of bets being made on college
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: baseball period, especially in the regular season and especially in
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: these midweek games that are kind of through. Not really
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: sure about that. I mean, I think it, you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: just because I don't know who the pitchers are going
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: to be. But whatever, that's cool though, Texas Tech. Yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: we'll see, We'll see how that goes. You know, when
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: you're a basketball team and football team has been as
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: bad as they have been for Arkansas, you latch onto
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: baseball for sure.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Which is I know, being a Tech fan, I know
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: how that goes. All right, Chimp, you gotta all right, all.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Right, see you later called about a guy movie and
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: talk to college baseball. That's what an April show. That's
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: what a mid April show does for you. Right there,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go. I got some text line questions
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: here Anthony and Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. Two questions Number one, when
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: do you guess you go back to your regular schedule,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: broadcast all as in all shows every day. Number two,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: what's your honest opinion on the drafting line in the
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: first three rounds and going DT running back, linebacker, not
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: exactly in that order, but those three positions in the
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: first three rounds, defensive tackle, running back, at linebacker, you
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: have not helped your offensive line. I can't imagine. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: cannot imagine a three rounds without getting I mean, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: don't know who your center is. I don't know who
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: your left tackle is. Now, I think you gotta get
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: off itsive line in those first three rounds. And I
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: know they don't want to pigeonhole themselves, but that's what
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: happens when you don't sign anybody and you lose two starters.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: You've got to figure that out. So I yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Now, Stephen Jones went on one on five to three
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: the Fan today and talked about the hope for younger players,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: the TJ Bass of the world. Matt Will, let's go
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: awesome Richards. But you know what I mean, what are
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: the expectations for those guys? Are they really to come
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: in and like help you start this year?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I was talking with Patrick Walker right for the show,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: and we were talking about that, and I see an
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: awesome Richards and a Matt Willsko a couple of fifth
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: round picks. I see that very similar to a guy
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: like Doug Free. That would be a good upside there.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Takes a little bit of time, develops, then becomes a
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: starter and a pretty good player. Not necessarily a pro bowler,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: but a good, solid player, solid starter.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Look at TJ.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Bass like a Ron Leary, you know, look, probably should
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: have been drafted, wasn't latches on here and and and
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: develops into a starter. Again not a pro bowler, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: it ended up getting a nice deal. So you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: they're not all gonna be Pro Bowl type guys. But
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I think I still think there's a there's a lot
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: of upside for these players. Those are kind of the
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: compare comparisons that I would look at for some of
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: those guys. But to answer your first question, we go
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: back to the regular schedule. We go back to the
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: shows every day at training camp. That's when we go
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: we're doing weekly now. I think in June early June,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: when they end things as far as practice goes, and
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: they really take take everything off, that's when we'll we'll
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: suspend the shows, uh until training camp and then training camp.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: It's actually I take that back. Training camp. The shows
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: are every other day. Now you'll still get two or
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: three podcasts a day, but it's every other day. And
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: then when we get back here and we get ramped
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: up right before the season, I believe it's once a
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: week that's when we go. So it'll be like first
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: week of September, that's when it'll be, and that's what
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: we'll drop down. I would imagine we'll probably drop down
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: to the ten o'clock spot again, which is what we've been.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: But you know, we're gonna be all over the map
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: right now. And we get the training camp, it'll probably
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: be later in the afternoon because it'll be, you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: like an afternoon show. Later on we'll have some players
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: come in.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So just bear with this. We'll be all over the place,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Esterbahn and Austin is the next text question.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: He says, sorry about my connection last week. I gave
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: you a little hard time, Staticky, he was working on
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: outside of town. I heard what you said by drafting
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: quarterback in the first round wouldn't be fair to McCarthy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I agree, but wouldn't that be short sighted? If that
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: right quarterback fell to us in the draft, maybe guarantee
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: McCarthy more time. Firing him would would be a mistake.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Allow Chan Gaily ninety nine, Chang Gaily had two years
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: and made the playoffs both years, and yeah, that wasn't
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a mistake. Eight I think I think, you know, this
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: is the would be the end of the contract for McCarthy.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna get into all that because that's
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: that's kind of Jerry's expectations. And you know, it's a
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: tough situation for him because you got to remember, too,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: ninety eight ninety nine was not the same. Nobody was
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: saying it's been three years since the Super Bowl. Maybe
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: they have, maybe they were saying that. I don't know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: But now we're at twenty eight, twenty nine years Now
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: it's a big deal. Now, that's that's what the fans.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Can't think of anything but that. So it's a tough
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: burden for these coaches. I mean, think about if Gaily
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: would have gone twelve, you know, had twelve wins three
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: years in a row. I mean, it would have been
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: considered completely different. Now McCarthy's got twelve years you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: and no one talks about that. One cares because it
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: hasn't changed the overall narrative. So it's kind of tough
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: about that. All I'm saying about the quarterback is like,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: how it wouldn't be fair. I mean, no one cares
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: about what's fair or not, but I'm just saying it
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: doesn't fit the narrative of what you're doing. I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: you've got a team that's got to get better, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna use free agency to get better because
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: they can't. So where can you get potentially really good
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: players for cheap. It's the draft. So that's how you
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: can get yourself better. Right now, they can be a
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: better team. Mazzie Smith did not make him better the
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: year before Tyler Smith did, and if they can get
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: that type of player again, then they can be a
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: better football team next year. And I just don't see
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: how drafting a quarterback this. You're right about being short sighted,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: but they are short sighted. They're short sighted right now.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: They are short sighted. They're not worried about Dak's contract
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: next year. They're not definitely not worried about McCarthy and
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Zimmer's contracts. They don't have one they got dead money
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: next year, so you're short sided as you're ever going
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: to be right now, so you're exactly right. They are
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: short sighted, which why that doesn't make sense to me?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: To quarterback.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: That's that's all I'm saying. All right, let's go to
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Robin Vegas. Nope, Michael and Bowling Green? Is it Michael
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: and Bowling Green? Who we got?
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: Michael, Michael and Bowlingreen.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, man, I'm sorry.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry. Hey, I've got I'm tired of hearing people
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: say you gotta draft a quarterback. CBS Sports spent on
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: Radio spent fifteen minutes this morning saying that Dallas needs
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: to draft Panics at number twenty four, and I'm like,
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: we got three quarterbacks.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Did you Did you listen to the whole fifteen minutes?
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean I drive. I worked for eighteen t
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: so I was driving around my van. Yeah, so I
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: listened the whole thing.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: So they're just filling time many time.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: So I'm sitting here thinking, you know, we don't need
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: to draft a quarterback in any of the rounds this year.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: Agree that they did say something I want to I
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: want to get your opinion on it. They said, all right,
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: Aikman was drafted number one in eighty nine and then
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: Quincy Carter was drafted number in the second round when
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: he got and since then, fourth round is the is
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: the high is the highest round? Do you think that's
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: good or bad?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: That?
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: But since since Aikman, Aikman was the first round pick,
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: then Quincy Carter the second, and we haven't done. We
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: haven't picked a quarterback any higher than than the fourth
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: round since then?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, is it good or bad? Well, you have to
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: you have to ask yourself. Was having Romo and Dak
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: on the team good or bad?
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: I think it's good.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: That's just the question you have to ask yourself because,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: like I said before, it hasn't been twenty years, but
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: it hasn't changed the narrative that people think this franchise
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: has to win Super Bowls and if they don't, then
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: it's then it's bad. And if that's how you think,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: which is fine, then those guys didn't help that.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Now did they make the team better? Yes they did.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: And that's why you didn't draft anything higher than a
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: fourth round because you had those guys. I mean, once
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: they got Tony, they drafted I think Stephen McGee in
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: the fourth round.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Not really sure why, but they.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: Did, and Mike.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: White in the fifth, Danucci in the seventh. I mean,
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: but then they had Romo and they drafted Dak in
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: the fourth. Now they were really and I cannot think
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: of the guy's name from Memphis. I forgot his name
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: that they were going to try to draft that year
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen. Oh yeah, and they they wanted him
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: bad and it didn't work out. And then it actually
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: did work out because they didn't ended up not drafting him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I think they got Jalen Smith and then they ended
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: up getting back in the fourth. But uh, you know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: it just they they kind of hit on some quarterbacks
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: in lower rounds, which is why they haven't had to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah. One more question. Okay, so I saw a highlight
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: or or saying this morning online. I want to what
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: were you doing or what did you think when this happened?
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Romo threw five interceptions against Buffalo and still came back
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: and walked.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It was phenomenal? What was I thinking?
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Or well?
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I know you I remember.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I asked him the very first question in the pressport
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: and the press conference after that, I asked him, I'll
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: never forget where.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It's exactly where.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I was standing right next to him on his right,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and I was the first question and I said, never
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: a doubt, huh And he was like, that was a doubt,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: you know, And you know that was my sense of
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: humor with his. I guess didn't match up right then,
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: But uh uh. You know, Troy Aikman said that was
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: the best game he's ever played about Romo at Jason
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Garrett said the same thing. You know, it was it
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: was an It was an amazing game. I mean, it
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: really was, and in every way. A lot of a
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: lot of cool stories about that game. But you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I think it just goes the fact that, you know,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: if you have the better football team, you got to
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: just keep hanging in there, and and that defense was,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: you know, keeping him going, keeping it up there. It
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: wouldn't you know, usually throw five interceptions. I mean two
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: of them were intercepted for touchdowns, so you had a
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: kickoff return as well. So that just goes to show
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: the defense was pretty much kicking the Buffalo's ass. And
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: so once they stopped all of that and then it
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: kept them in the game, they could go and they
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: could win it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it was.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: It was an amazing game, and I think it was
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: one that kind of showed that you know that Tony,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: it's it's why he's probably a really good golfer, because
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: you do hit.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Him in the water.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: What on number eight? What happens on number nine? Are
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: you still thinking about that? Or you're trying to hit
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: a hole in one?
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: And that's that's the way Tony's always been, And so
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: that was pretty amazing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: Can't wait for the draft and I can't more can't
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: wait for the calls after the draft.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be fun. It should be fun, all right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: And then speaking of we'll probably have we're working on
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: a show like Thursdays, usually the day we do a show,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: which we could do another one, but we're looking at
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: a Friday show as well. So who knows, how awesome
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: would it be we get the draft pick right here.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: That'd be pretty cool. We're working on that, maybe something
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Friday afternoon where we can, you know, kind of let
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: you guys weigh in on what you think and what
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: you think could happen later on that night. That might
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: even be a better show than what we would do
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Thursday at that point, you know, Hayes in the barn
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: at that point, you know, like there's not much left
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: to talk about. But maybe we'll move it to Friday
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: on that day, all right, Rob in Vegas, I'm sure
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: you got stuff to say.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up man?
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: You know the everybody talking about trading, I mean drafting
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: a quarterback. The only way you could do that is
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: if you could trade Dakh to a probably a top
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: five draft and then grab one of these guys if
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: you really think one of these tough quarterbacks is you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: worth it. And of course we already know Dak would
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: have to agree, but that'd be the only way you
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: could do it because you can't bring a guy on.
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: You're basically telling Dak this would be a last year.
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: You're telling Mike McCarthy, we're really not giving you no help,
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: you know, and it would just be it would be
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: a mess.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: You had a great point the other day, Rob, you
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: always do, But you had a great point when you said, uh,
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: you'll tell a lot. We'll see a lot about what
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: they think about Mike McCarthy with this draft. Yeah, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I think you're right about that. You definitely would figure
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: out a lot of the drafted the quarterback.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you basically muscle get the packed.
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: You know, the question for the fans, me and everybody else,
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: and I thought about it, is do you think this
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: team would be better with a very good sixty million
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: dollar a year quarterback or a good thirty million dollars
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: a year quarterback. Let's say, like a Baker Mayfield type.
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: He just signed a thirty million And in the past,
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: I always felt you needed the top quarterback, you needed
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: a top ten quarterback to win a super Bowl, And honestly,
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: I don't feel like that anymore because looking back on it,
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: we always say it, Mahomes is the only guy that
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: deserves whatever check sixty seventy million because he's he wins it.
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: He wins whatever you give him. He just makes it better.
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: The rest have all been bad investments. And I just
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: think this team would be better with a thirty million
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: dollar quarterback if they were willing to build around them.
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: And I don't know if this team is. You know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: you talked about it when they had a Dack in
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: his rookie year, I mean thirteen and three, and like
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: you said, you said, okay, you build on that, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: they never really did. And so I don't trust this
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: team to say, you know, we'll get rid of Dak,
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: we'll save money, we'll go get us a good call
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: like Okay, let's say Trey Lance. Let's say Trey Lance
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: will push you thirty million dollars he balls out in
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: the preseason and you just think thirty million, that's what
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: Baker Mayfield got. Do you trust this team to now
• 36:34
  Speaker 10: take the savings and invest it where it would need
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: to be to win? And I don't. I don't trust
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: the Cowboys to do that. So I don't know. I'm
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: torn with the Dak thing and the call of that said,
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: being optimistic, yeah, you got to be optimistic. This was
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: a very good team with Digs and Overshown coming back
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: if healthy, that will improve the defense. Overshown' the real linebacker,
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: he's not a fake safety playing linebacker. Kendricks should help.
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: And if they could just draft good for the boat
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: lines B line in an offensive line, that would be
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: a huge improvement because that was our two weaknesses last year.
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: You know, Pollard, you know, wasn't the guy he was,
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: But then again, I don't think the offensive line was,
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: so I think if they could improve on those, those
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: positions in the draft, this team could be just as good,
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: if not better than last year.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, unless as long.
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: As this harmony, you know, now, because you can never
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: put a finger on it, you don't know how Mike
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: mccauchy's going to feel. You know, you're not going to
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: know how Dak is going to feel. Is CD going
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: to get paid? So that you can't You're never going
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: to know what's going to happen in the locker room.
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: But on the field, this team could actually be better
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: than last year if they draft good.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: All right, that's now that's an optimistic call. Thank you
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Rob for the call. And that's that's an optimistic viewpoint.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: And and it's and it's not.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: A reach. I mean, you know it's not.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: You can't just sit there and go, well, what if
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: you know, nay Sean Wright turns into and jumps up
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: the way you know Bland did or something like that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, you just can't expect those type of things.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: But but you can expect some of those young players,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: you know. I mean, I think Sam Williams has the potential.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: You know, you there are guys out there that that
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: can you can step up and replace the guys that
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: you've lost. But yeah, I mean I think that's that's
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: that's optimistic to think that the digs can come back
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: and help, and overshown can help, and and and then
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: you know with with the way that you know, Zimmer
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: coaches defense and you know, who knows, I could get
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: lightning in a bottle there. So yeah, I think I
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: think that they can be they can be better there.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: But but you know, to answer your question, I mean, sure,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: you'd rather have the thirty million a year good quarterback
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: and then the guys around him versus the sixty million
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: great quarterback, but because there's not that much of a
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: difference there, but there is between thirty million. It's just
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: the problem is, it's not it doesn't work like that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: It's not like going to the store and just picking well,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I can get this one even though it doesn't have
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: the name brand the same as this one, but it'll
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: still get the job done. The same doesn't work that
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: way because you have to develop this one and it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: not as easy to get. I mean, he he you've
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: developed him past thirty million, so that you that's not
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: happening anymore. And continuity is the most important thing really
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: at that position. So that's what you're doing.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: You could just say all right, you know, see yah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: thanks thanks that. You know, let's change out all the
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: stuff we've got and all the stuff we've built out here,
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: and we're going to the thirty million, you know, back
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: to that guy, which which could happen. But it's not
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: as easy to do that. It's not, especially when you're
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: trying to build a program and you know, the coaches,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: everybody's invested, everybody's all in. That's why they you know,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: that's why they're here, you know, till two o'clock in
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: the morning sometimes and here at five am or whatever.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I mean that, like, you're here to build this thing,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: and and it's just not as easy to just say,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: all right, get rid of the quarterback and add another
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: one in. Uh, we're not at that point yet. Looks
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: like the model could be headed there, but that's it's
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: just it's easier said than done really to do that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Tim and Winston Salem, North Carolina.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Hey man, how are you?
• 40:40
  Speaker 9: I'm fine? First time call.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Oh there we go.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my guy movie is Toolstoe, Okay, all right, random
• 40:51
  Speaker 9: random cowboy is Timmy Newsome. Uh, he played one Salem State.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I wonder that that's your random cop and your name
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: is Tim.
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: Yes, wait, I have to ask, yes, we actually crossed passed.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: I attended Wilson Salem State when he was there?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, was he was? He awesome?
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: He was awesome?
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: I bet he was awesome.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I bet he was.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Timmy newsm has done some stuff, some shows you
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: know they have like the Legends Care Cowboys Cross Talk
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Legend show. And he's done that a couple of times
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: and really good and you know, seems to be a
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: really good health to you know, he's played a long
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: time ago, very very versatile player running back. I bet
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: he was awesome to watch there. Winston, Winston Salem, North Carolina.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, Wilston Salem State.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Go Rams Rams.
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: Okay, yes, I'm sitting I'm listening to all these dad
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: caters and I don't quite understand. We need to really
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: understand that it takes a long time to develop a quarterback,
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: and we really fell into that. Now do we want
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: to go back into quarterback purgatory again? I mean, let's
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: I say, let's get this thing done. I'm a huge
• 42:18
  Speaker 9: Cowboy fan, have been since eight years old. And by
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: the way, I'm sixty five, and you know, let's I
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: think we need to sorb our interior of our offense
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: and our defensive line. We've got good skill players and
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: let's just get some dogs in here, all right.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about on the line, the.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: Line D line, O line D line.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: That's how you get better. I mean, that's how that's
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: how you get better as a football team. And you
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: get tougher, getting meaner, uh, you know, and you get
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: bigger so that that stuff happens. I mean, that's not
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: a bad approach at all, you know, because your running game,
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: your running backs will look better when you've got guys
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: that can block for them.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: So yeah, yes, yes, I am a football coach myself,
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: and I enjoyed coaching the old line D line. That's
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: where the game is. Yeah, you get you get dogs
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: in there. And uh, do you coach.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: The football you coach on the high school level?
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: Oh no, I actually coach football, no boy football. Yeah,
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: I've been approached about coaching high school, but well, we've
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: got we've got a new breed of kids and I'm
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: not interested in coaching now.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Definitely different for sure, But yeah, I know I know
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: a few high school coaches and they they say they
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: walk down the hall sometimes and see kids and they're like, why.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Aren't you playing football?
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: You know, like and it's the big boys, and you're like,
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't really like football.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, you know, which it does. It does matter
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: if you like it or not.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: But you know, you see, because that's where that's where
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: you know the guys are won and lost. I mean,
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sure at all levels of high school the difference
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: is the line. It's the line and who's got you know,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: who's got the guys that can push people around?
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes you can. I mean you can you
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, a super running back is great to have,
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: but if you get them dogs down there in the trenches,
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: yeah you can. You can make some things happen, for sure.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Well that's a great approach and I would not hate that.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't hate that if they drafted a first round lineman,
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: offensive lineman, second round, de tackle, third round, got another lineman,
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean, does the pro shop love that,
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: you know they're selling jerseys? Maybe not, but but that
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: it's not what it's about. You got plenty of those guys.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: You've got those guys right now.

  Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Hell?
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mick?
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: How you doing?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, Jeff, how are you hey?
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I'm doing all right. I just want to say I
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: know you're towards the end of the show. Just wanted
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: to start out with a guy movie, all right.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: I have two for you, Good Fellas.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and The Town. The Town?
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Is that a bank robbery movie with Ben Affleck?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that? Are they in Boston?
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, Charlestown, Boston suburb?
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: Okay, based on a true story.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I'm in for that. Do anything anything that's about Boston,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I'm in for that. I don't know why.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that, all right, I love that movie.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: So I just wanted to I just wanted to ask
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: you a question more comment first, and a question. So
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: with the draft ten days away, I'm kind of leaning
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: with you. I would love an offensive lineman either a
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: left tackle or a center, and then a running back
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: in the second. Being in Salt Lake City, just down south,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: we got BYU and listening to the draft show. They
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: were talking about off asive tackle from b Yu, who
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: I've seen play numerous times. His names King Lee, Kingsley,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Sue my Tia.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: Big, big guy.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: I would love that if they drafted him from what
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: brought us and those guys are saying he's they're kind
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: of hearing that he's an under under the radar prospect
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys, So I think that would be
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: a great pick. My question for you, Nick, I would
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: love my my deal situation is to keep Tyler Smith
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: at left guard. I would much rather have an all
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: pro at one position than a pro bowler at left tackle.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Keep him there, let him dominate, just like they did
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: with Zach Martin.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: What is your.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Thoughts of moving TJ. Bast to center. He's a bigger guy,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: he's you know, he's got some weight, some junk in
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: the trunk, he's powerful, he's strong. I know how they
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: like to cross train their offensive lineman. What is your.
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: Thoughts on that move?
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: And yeah, just would like your opinion and I'll ring
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: up and listen.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate appreciate it. Jeff, thank you.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: I kind of chuckle a little bit when you say
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: that about you know, the guys on the Draft Show
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: think that he's an under the radar player for the Cowboys, like,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: well he was so to the Draft show, through it,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: through his name out there, or we talk about him here.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: That's the thing, like, you know, the Cowboys, the scouts
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: and stuff. They they try to you know, don't say,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: don't talk about this and that, which is it's fine,
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: it's fair, but you know that stuff gets out and uh,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: you know, they don't want your their thirty visit names
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: out there and stuff like that, you know, and I
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: totally understand that. You know, they think they got some
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: diamonds in the rough. I'm sure way back in the
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: day they didn't want people knowing that they they they
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: were all over this guy named Larry Allen from Sonoma State.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, that's that's that's just the way
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: that it is. But yeah, it sounds like a guy
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: that would be hard to spell, hard to pronounce. But
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: if he's if he's hard to get around, then they
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: you know, like in the trenches, that certainly would be
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: a guy that they could they could need and use.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: So that sounds good to me. You know, I just overall,
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: you know, we keep talking about offensive line, and yeah,
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: I mean I think I think the offensive lineman in
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: defensive lineman. I just think that's kind of that's kind
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: of where it needs to be, you know that that
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: that's that's this what could help this team get them better.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Now that being said, his question about TJ. Bassett center,
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: I love the idea. I hope it's being done now
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: and working on it now and not something they try
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: to do at training camp or whatever. Felt like I
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: felt like they were too late with that with Connor
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Williams and think about it, they tried that late in
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: the off season, experimented with it a training camp preseason,
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: didn't really go well. He went back to guard, and
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: you know, or and that that's how it ended. And
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: then he goes to the Dolphins to play center, and
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: so you know, it takes a little bit of time
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: to develop into that. But you know, it might be
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: a little undersize for guard TJ. Bass but it would
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: be a perfect size for center. So I'm all for
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: that if that, If that's what they're ended up doing,
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: I'm getting some some word that they are thinking that way.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: But hopefully we see it a little bit more when
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: we do watch practice and the OTAs and Mini can't practice.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: I would love to see that because I think he
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: could be the type of guy that could.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Really develop into a great center. I really believe that.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: All Right, Brian and Lakeland, Florida. That'll be our last
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: caller today. Brian, what's up?
• 49:41
  Speaker 11: Like I said, Brian Lincoln, Florida, first time call her?
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: All right, perfect, Yeah, I'm.
• 49:46
  Speaker 11: Sad to be on the show finally. I h I
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: never get to call. I'm usually working or in meetings
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: and whatnot. Got out of the meeting kind of early.
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: I'm like, no, I'm gonna give it a shot. You did,
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: but glad, yeah.
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: Thank you, sir. Kind Of like Grabriel talking about, like
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: with the draft and everything, it's hoping we do something
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: to beef up the run game, and like first two
• 50:07
  Speaker 11: rounds jpj or Graham Barton, you know, they look really good,
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: and and that running back in the second round I
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: like a Blake Quorum or Jonathan Brooks, you know. So
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: it's kind of help out there. Just as far as
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: the off season goes, I'm glad to be past it. Honestly,
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: like everybody else, was super frustrated with the way the
• 50:26
  Speaker 11: season ends. Kind of took a step back, you know,
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: talk myself off the ledge. I'm like, you know what,
• 50:31
  Speaker 11: we're good enough, just didn't work out this year. And
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: if we're being honest with ourselves, like kind of like
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: what I've seen the last ten twelve years, I feel
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: like three times we were good enough or you know,
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: just to get there, just didn't make the plays unneeded.
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: You know, I felt like one time it was stolen
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: from us, you know, with the dead display twenty sixteen,
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: I thought we were good enough, but you know, rookie quarterback,
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: rooky running back, first time in the playoffs, you know,
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: and then last year which was the most disappointing. But
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: as I said before, kind of you know, talk myself
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: back from the ledge, and it was like, you know what,
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: we got the draft coming up, We're still right there,
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: and you know, the touch on the point I want
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: to say, you said up maybe last week about guys
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: stepping up and making plays like mos and whatnot, and
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: I always, honestly I felt that way in the playoffs too,
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: Like I feel like we have been good enough. Like
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: even last year, I felt like we were good enough
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: and the plays just didn't happen when we needed to
• 51:21
  Speaker 11: happen when we needed them to happen, whether it be
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: you know, yeah, you know, lack of a good play calling,
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: whatever it was, it just didn't happen. And it is
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: what it is. But at least we know the team
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: is good enough. At least we know we got a
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: good core, and if we can nail you know, a
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: solid draft, we'll be right back next year.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I don't see why not I agree with you there.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: I would say, though, you know, when you say we've
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: been good enough, we just didn't make the plays when
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: it counted.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: We didn't do this and when it counted and write
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: play calls.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: I think that could be a definition of you weren't
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: good enough then, you know, like like you could just
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: say you can make that argument that that's why you
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: weren't good enough, because yeah, you talent wise, you can
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: do it, but you didn't make those plays. You weren't
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: good enough in crunch time, and uh, that's where they've
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: got to figure out a way to be better. But
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: I would rather that be the problem than talent wise.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: This isn't there, and I don't think this year, I
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: don't think that's gonna be the problem.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: So I do agree with you, and I guess that's
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: what I mean, Like, you know, with all pros we
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: had last year, we've seen him I could get to
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: the quarterback, and we've seen him get sacked, and we've
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: seen him get pressures. We saw Duran Duran Bland set records.
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: We've seen Ceede Lamb set records.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: But then.
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: Right when it came down to Green Bay, that all
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: kind of disappeared for a full half, right right before finally,
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: you know, before it came back. And that's I mean,
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: like they're there. They just now you got to make
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: it and we should that have great playoff games in Tampa.
• 52:47
  Speaker 11: I mean that was a great playoff game. Now we
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: just needed to do it twice and then maybe a
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: third time.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's there. I agree with you. I don't think.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: I don't think this team, you know, is to the
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: point where they can't go and you know, win these
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: big games. But we'll see, we'll see what happens. I mean,
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: like it's gonna be fun.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Ride.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: I think the team is talented enough and I'm excited
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: to see you know how it kind of comes together.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: We're going to find out a lot about this team
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: here in the next couple of weeks, which is exciting
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: because it's taken a while to kind of have things
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: happen here.
• 53:18
  Speaker 12: So yeah, Cash, you one more thing, yep, since you
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: got Since your team just hired Cali Party.
• 53:23
  Speaker 11: You know, I saw that in n C Douba for basketball.
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: Thought that was awesome for you guys.
• 53:27
  Speaker 12: Yes, next five because it's a five year deal, right,
• 53:29
  Speaker 12: I thought I saw next five years, which seems more
• 53:32
  Speaker 12: likely Arkansas makes the Final Four or the Cowboys make
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: the Final four or essentially the NFC title game.
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: Can I would you rather see? What you can think
• 53:43
  Speaker 11: about it if you want.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: To, not playing that game, not playing that game about
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: what would I rather see?
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: But well, but for my for my job, and you know,
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: I had never seen an NFC championship game by working here.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: That's what I would rather see. There's no doubt about it.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: I would rather see the Cowboys go to the NFC
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: Championship game and see what happened beyond that.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: We we as.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: A team as a staff here with content that we produce,
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: I think we do a good job. I really do.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: I think we've done it really good. Well, thank you,
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: I'll let you say that. I think from an NFL
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: league standpoint, you know where we are, and to think
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: we've never really been that far with our team having
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: that kind of success, I mean, I feel like we'd
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: break the internet if. I feel like we really would
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: if we ever made it that far. The Cowboys made
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: it that far'll be unbelievable. I don't even know what
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: that's like. So that's what I want to see, without
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: a doubt.
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: Well, that's cool here. And like I said, I'm excited.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: For the draft.
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: I'm already catching flack at work because they have a
• 54:42
  Speaker 11: work social that's going to be going on on the
