  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: This is He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: What's up, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman here.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: It's Tuesday, July the thirtieth, and it's time to talk
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Cowboys with you. We know we got callers already on
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: the line excited about that. I wanted to hear what
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: you guys have to say about what's happened over the weekend,
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: what hasn't happened, who's still not here? Contracts are up
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: in the air still with Dak and Ceedee lamb. But
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: sounds like, well, I'm not gonna say they're making progress.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know they've They've sent some offers, doesn't mean
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: that they've been received. Well, certainly hasn't been no one
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: signed yet, so but uh, Stephen Jones has said he
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: is upbeat about it. I think Jerry Jones feels the
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: same way. But until they see another eighty eight actually
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: on the fields then and I think they'll be really
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: upbeat about that, all right, Two one, four, three, eight, seven,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: sixteen fifty nine. Remember that's the new number.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: To call.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: We've already got two on the line. We can get
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: after it. Right now, we can get started. It's Dom
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: and Odessa, Texas.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: Dom.
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: Alright, what's going on?
• 1:28
  Speaker 8: How you doing?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: I'm good Man. You can't worried now. I just wanted
• 1:34
  Speaker 9: to see what you're Uh, I've actually before you know
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: about what do you think with Dad? You know it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: getting freer along, it still hasn't made any progress or
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: not that we know because it's not about the money.
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: But I just want to you know, what do you
• 1:51
  Speaker 9: think is stopping him from signing? And do you think
• 1:55
  Speaker 9: if he doesn't sign we'll got expect CD Lambs contract.
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: How do you feel?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, thanks, Dom, appreciate that. I think that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: you know, I think there's somewhat connected from CD's standpoint.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I but.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: And I think that's helping the negotiations with CD is
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: that they're also negotiating with Dak. I mean, he obviously
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: doesn't want a situation like we've talked about before with
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: the Raiders, where you know, DeVante Adams has a big deal,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: but there's really not a quarterback there to help him,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: and and so yeah, he obviously wants to have a
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: quarterback in place. So I think both of these are
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: somewhat tied when it comes to CD. I think Dak knows,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: you know, it's gonna be a quarterback. I mean, there's
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: gonna be great receivers here and and that's always going
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: to be the case.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I think for Dak, you know, I mean when he
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: made the comment about it's not about the money, it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: not or he doesn't play for money. You know that
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: there's so much you can take out out of that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: But the hold up is probably probably you know, just
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: the length of the deal, the terms of the deal,
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: guaranteed money. I mean, he made an interesting statement about,
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: you know, it's more than just than just getting the
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: right deal for him and his family and all that stuff.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's an obligation there. There's there's there's a line.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: All these guys, all these quarterbacks have to play ball
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: two us doing it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He's doing it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, they it's you know, and then it just
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: keeps cycling like that. It helps each other, helps you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: helps the other quarterbacks. We talked about it on the
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: last show too, So there's this there's a lot more
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: to it. And that's why it's really complicated these things.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like what Steven is saying that
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: they take time, but they do. They clearly do, because
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: it's more than just does this work for you? This
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: works for us? Okay, cool? This is a contract that's
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: really gonna shape how the team functions here for the
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: next few years. So there is a lot. There's a
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: lot going on here, and there's no deadline for it
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: right now. So that's why they're being very cautious about
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: things and they're waiting for other deals to fall. I mean,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I think they were really you know, interested in what
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Miami was gonna do with Tua and and you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and that's again, that's another player that's that's had some success,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: had some stats, not winning you know, big games all
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: the time. So you know, there's there's another comparable type player,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: even though he's got you would think more career to
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: go than Dak. But still, you know, when you're when
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: you're looking at at deals like that, I think, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: everyone that goes off the board kind of helps the Cowboys.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: All right, let's stay in the West Texas area. Uh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: justin from Lubbock, Texas is on the line, justin.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Are you sure what's going on?
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: And I'm excited for first day at PATS. Uh that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: really where you really figure figure out the physicality of
• 4:54
  Speaker 10: the team ner thing. My question would be, uh a,
• 4:59
  Speaker 10: how power gotten performs? And I mean everybody can look
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: good in T shirt and helmet, but how how can
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: he handle Mike Carson's off the edge? And my question
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: for you would be, is there a sleeper that we
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: should be paying attention to that you think will really
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: make a name for himself once pads come on?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, appreciate that, good questions, good stuff, all right, justin,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: thanks for the call, keeping those lines open here at two, one, four, three, eight, seven,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: sixteen fifty nine. Pads do come on today. The scary
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: part about that is, yeah, you get to see it
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: be physical, and not that you need it to be
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: physical to lose a key player for the entire season.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I haven't mentioned that yet.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Sam Williams out for the season now torn ACL and
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: MCL and his left.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Knee and in a.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Non contact drill for special teams. So yeah, kind of
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: scary one. Pads come on. I mean, yeah, I know
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: you got to play football, and that's the best way
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: to get better at football is to play football, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the pads is what they do. But you know that
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: that it's just that's just a crushing blow for this team.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Early on, he was one of their free agents.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: That's what I keep saying.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Sam Williams was a free agent type player type addition
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: that they need to step up, they need that guy,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: they need a second round pick from two seasons ago
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: has got to do to be able to to step
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: up and be the guy. And and uh, especially when
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: they lost two pass rushers out of their depth.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You know, they had five, they lost two.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Of them in Dorn's Armstrong and uh Dante Fowler, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: now they've lost three for the year with with Sam Williams.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: So that's that's a that's a tough one. But you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: for you can't worry about that. You gotta keep playing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: You gotta keep going. And so what what's gonna happen
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: when the pads come on? We'll see We'll get to
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: see guys like, you know, linebackers, running backs, offensive linemen.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: So the sleeper is not really a sleeper. But i'd
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: like to see Baby and Hoffman, those centers, I'd like
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to see them. What they're gonna be able to do
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Are they gonna be able to move people around? They're
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: at the center position, so that it's really all linemen.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: It's those linemen when when they get on and and
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: and you know, Giden did a nice job, Tyler Goyden
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: did a nice job when he was blocking Micah Parsons.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But you know, let's see, like.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: You said, when the pads come on, what's gonna happen there,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: what's gonna happen with with with Guiden? Is he gonna
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: be able to to you know, stay and you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: stay with these guys, stay with Micah Parsons when he's
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: coming off the edge like that. So but but still,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: that's what training camp is. It's being physical, it's blocking. Uh,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: it's it's somewhat tackling. We'll see what happens when when
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: the pads come on here today, All right, let's go
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: to the next caller, Brian in Kansas City.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: What's up, hey, Nick?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: How are you man?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Good? What's up?
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Hey, Good to talk to you.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Glad to see you're back.
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: There's no more depressing thing than going on Dallas Cowboys
• 8:11
  Speaker 12: dot Com looking under events and seeing no events scheduled
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: for a month.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Man, yep, yeah, so you know, I'm I'm really pleased
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: with what we.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: See for linebacker depth this year. Obviously we just in
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: prayers to Sam Williams and his family. You know, we
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: just lost a little depth on the defensive line. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I'm curious about something. What do you think in the
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: of the of the positions both in dtackle.
• 8:43
  Speaker 12: Now DNS and running back, what do you think is
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: the most likely position where the Cowboys might go outside
• 8:50
  Speaker 12: the organization to get significant help, not just a depth piece,
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: but somebody who might actually play, you know, fifty sixty
• 8:57
  Speaker 12: seventy percent of snaps because they need And for my
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: old timer, I think I'll go with the greatest studier
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: of all Cowboys is Sean Lee, and I'll hang up
• 9:09
  Speaker 12: and listen.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Man, all right, thanks Brian.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: You know, the defensive end has got to be the
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: position that they go get and I can't I couldn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: tell if you said other than defensive end. So yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: that's the one. That's that's definitely the position. I could
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: see a lot of help there, and then running back
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: would probably be another one where I could see them
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: getting some help from the outside of somebody that that
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: that they like somebody that that could, you know, get
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: a few snaps here, you know that that those would
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: be the two that I could see because they're kind
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: of plug and play type positions. Maybe some some depth
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: at corner too, if that was available. Cornerback would be
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: another one, all right, Sean Lee. Yeah, one of the best,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: one of the best to study, Like you said, knew
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: the game inside it out. His body didn't allow him
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: to be a great player, and that was evident in college.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: That's why I dropped it to the second round. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: had injury concerns in college, and so I don't know
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: when you look back at his career, I don't know
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: how you if you could even say, well, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: did you have a great career?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Did you not? Injuries?
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Injuries certainly hurt him from being, you know, better than
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: what he was. All right, let's go to Bob in
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Rio Grand Valley.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Nick, Hey Bob, how you doing?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, buddy, I tell you what it is great to
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: hear your voice and see your smiling faith on TV
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: again and also here on the podcast. I was telling Chris,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I got my T shirt from you guys, and I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: appreciate it so much. Welcome and now the pads you're
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: coming on and I can finally get my our boys fix. Yeah,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the injury to the injury to Sam Williams was unfortunate
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and uh, but it looks like right now we're gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: be trying to fill that position and hopefully we don't
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: get any more in that same area and go through
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: what we went through last year with the linebackers. I'm
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I'm very optimistic nick about this season. I think that
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: between the draft and the three agency acquisitions that we
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: made in the off season, I think we really strengthened
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the team. And I'm I'm excited about the defense this
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: year because of Zimmer. I think that he's going to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: bring a old different wrinkle to that defense and I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: think we're going to be a lot more solid. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I think Mosie Smith has turned the corner. I think
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: this defense is better suited for him and I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: he's going to build that number one pick that he
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: was given, uh when he was selected. I think that
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: he's going to earn that this year and show us
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: that the Cowboys made the right decision.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, I think he has to
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I think Mazie Smith has to turn the corner and
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: be the guy and there's no you know, hope or
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: anything like that. I mean, they got they were fortunate
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: to be able to kind of withstand it last year
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: with with Hankins and Neville Gallamore, I guess, and Nosa
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: there and him not have to play. But but he
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: has to play now he has to play. They can't
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: have a first round pick from last year that that
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: doesn't help them, especially at that position where they need
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: some strength and some run support. So I thought Micah
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Parsons said it best when he was saying there's no
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: you know, hope for him. You know, he has to play.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: There's no other way your first round pick act like it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: That's really what it comes down. He didn't say that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I said that he's a first round pick. You have
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: to be a first round pick and and this is
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: the year to do that. And you know it goes
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: for the next it goes to Luke Scoobmaker as a
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: second round pick. You got to be a second round pick.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: You know, overshown. I'm going through that whole draft, third
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: round pick, need you on the field. And I don't
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: know he got hurt. I mean that's not his fault.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: But I'm just saying this is what they need. They
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: need those guys. So to answer your question about defense,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: I definitely think that that that Zimmer and this defense
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: is going to be good, tough, tough loss. Again, you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: to keep reiterating about Sam Williams or they're gonna need
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: some help. That they're gonna need somebody to fill that gap.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I think it comes from the outside. You know, we'll
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: see you. They They've got some guys here. You know
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: they drafted Marshawn Neelan DEROYL. Johnson's a name that keeps
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: kind of getting thrown out there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: You know Junior Fojoko from last year's draft. You know
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: he need something out of you as well. So if
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: you could rush the pass or this would be the
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: time to raise your hand for this team. All right,
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: thanks for the call, Bob. How about let's go to Rick.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: He's in Massachusetts.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Rick.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Nick?
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: How you doing good? Are you all right? A couple
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: of quotes like, do you know if there's any word
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: of Fred agents being picked up whatever help with the
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Sam Williams loss, Or do you think the Cboo Lever
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Chauncy Gold Center or something like that to cover that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Golston is an interesting player because he's just not the
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: body type that you're looking for there off the edge.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: He's a defensive end. He's kind of a tank poor
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: man's Tank Lawrence, you know, because Tank can get off
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: the edge and make plays. But you know, Golston's kind
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: of that. He's really that guy that would be in
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: a three four defense, that would play like the defensive
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: end position in a three four. That's kind of a
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: better suit spot for him. They don't play that, but
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: so he's really kind of an in between her of
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: tackle and and and and one of those pass rushing
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: tackles on third and long. He's got some flexibility, but
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: he's not really what you're looking for off the edge.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: That that that's not the guy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: But in this case, you don't have a lot of options,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: so you're gonna he's gonna have to to be included
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: in that mix too. And that's for the free agent stuff. Yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: we sort of talked about it together. There's some names
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: out there. One of them I can't pronounce, uh from
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: that played at Jacksonville. I know he's he's he's out there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Carl Lawson's a name I can't pronounce he's out there.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Some some players like that, but I still think the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Cowboys will do that. I think that they they'll they'll
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: have to go look at some helps and it might
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: be a UFL guy that rushed the passer. I don't know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: but from one way or another, I think you got
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: to get some help there and sign someone. So all right,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: oh Rick, you got another question. You have a nice day. Thanks, Rick.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: All right, let's go to h Ali in France. Hello, Neck,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: How you doing pretty good?
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: Buddy?
• 16:10
  Speaker 14: How are you?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I'm good? What's up?
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: First of all, I want to thank you for my shirt. Welcome,
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: I mean Parris photographing the OLAMPI. I wish you were here.
• 16:22
  Speaker 13: And yet we don't have any contract problem. Everybody plays
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: with joy of playing, well, so they do.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, no, there's more to it than that
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: you have to you have to be paid fairly, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: that's that's just the way that that it is, though,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: you know, And I'll talk about it more when when
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: when the call is over from my stance on that,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: but go ahead, what do you what else you got
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: going on?
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: Well, I've got a nice fresh backet for you.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: If you like.
• 16:55
  Speaker 14: Backet it's the best and uh, a.
• 16:59
  Speaker 13: Couple of the thing I was listening to your last
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: show and that made the comment that his loyalty goes
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: to quarterbacks as far as the salary of stuff. Sometimes
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: I think I wish all the fans they were they
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: had the union. So maybe between the ownership and the players,
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: they give little loyalty to the fan because we take
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: the heartache when they lose. You know, believe we wear
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: it on the sleeve. And you know, sometimes we are
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: the fans. Sometimes it seems like you are afterthoughts. They
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: think about their contract, owners, they think about generine revenue,
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: and in between, the fan get lost. That's just like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: it's so heartbreaking.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this though. Let me ask you
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: this though. So the fans, the fans, they come out
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: here to training camp, they come out here to training
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: camp and they see Dak Prescott, who's you're talking about
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: with a contract that needs a contract? They see Dak Prescott.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: He's playing every every snap. I mean, how's he not
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: being loyal to the fans. He said that about obligations,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: but he's got an obligation to his team. He's got
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: obligations to Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, who paid him
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the money. He's got an obligation to the fans. He's
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: doing exactly what he's supposed to do if he was
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: if he had a contract tomorrow. If he doesn't have
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: a contract, he's gonna be out here throwing the ball around.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: So I don't understand where Dak. You were talking about CD.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: That's different, but you said Dak. Dak made the statement,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Dak's doing everything, He's feeling every obligation around him.
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you're right, but honestly, I'm not talking about Dak specifically,
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: but it was a comment.
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: And I know they'll like a bomb together.
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: But as a fan, I'm sure maybe than you. You know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: as a fan, it's just like it's I know, it's
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: part of the game, the contract after contract, this one,
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: and you know, it's just they make more, the owners
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: make more money, play abe more money, and I wish
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: it's so nice to don't hear about this contract and stuff.
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: You know, the way I look at it is Achilles heel.
• 19:23
  Speaker 13: If you remember, uh the game between Buffalo and Kansas
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: City and all the playoff teams. The fan base, they
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: love the team, they don't want to lose any players,
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: but eventually every team fall apart because the players leave.
• 19:43
  Speaker 13: They get used to it the way by the jersey
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: for the children, and it just seems like, uh, it
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: would be nice to be able to somehow they get
• 19:54
  Speaker 13: a hold of this contract and stuff. I mean, it's
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: heartbreaking to see players go down. Dak is a couple
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: that I have no problem with. Dak honestly, God.
• 20:06
  Speaker 14: First of all, I don't know the ins and outs,
• 20:08
  Speaker 14: but he made their comments that one and he says, okay,
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: all the players, all the quarterbacks that switch teams. I said, okay, okay,
• 20:17
  Speaker 14: Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady.
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: But they want a lot of Super Bowl you know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: It's just like you appreciate it, but it's to me,
• 20:28
  Speaker 13: I want some. It's just like a little bit love
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: to just we don't want to hear that he's gonna
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: leave or he's a staying there unless he get paid.
• 20:39
  Speaker 13: He's loyal, he's been such a gentleman.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I give you that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 13: But overall, it's just like I always think fans always
• 20:49
  Speaker 13: end up in the short end of the stick, you know, but.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: It is what it is.
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: We are fan. But you're right, he's in there at
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: least it's respect in the training camp. And I don't
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: blame CD either. You know, he needs to get his money, okay,
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: but his ego is always getting in between, you know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Allie, have a great day. Thank you
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: for the call. Be safe there in France. Thank you.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know what to take from that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: If you see, if you understand where CD's coming from,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: and you understand where Dack's coming from, just say you're
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: frustrated that they haven't won the super Bowl in thirty years.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's what it is. And I get it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I get it, that's what it is. But yeah, I
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: mean it's it's just the business side of it. You know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: I just don't think that Zach Martin got the same
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: kind of hate last year. I I don't know, he didn't.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He did not.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: He did not get the same kind of of you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know about hate, that's maybe not the right word.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: But he wasn't criticized as much as I think CD is.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: And I don't know why dok is. He's not doing
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: anything different. He's just they're just working on getting a
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: new deal. All right, Let's go Tim in Winston, Salem,
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: North Carolina.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how you doing all right?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: I am fine, I'm fine. I'm glad you guys are back.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, But I'm excited about this season. I think
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Zimmer is exactly what we needed. We needed to be
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: more physical, a little more tougher, and I think he's
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: gonna bring that aspect to our team.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: Also, I agree with you. I don't understand why why
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: all this hate about that? You know, in my opinion,
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: people need to consider the alternative and what it would
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: do to our franch chise to be out there searching
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: for a quarterback. I'm of the opinion DAK is at
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: least top ten in the NFL, and uh, let's pay
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: the man and let's move forward. You know, that's just
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: my opinion. But excited about the season, very optimistic, and
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: uh that's all I got to say.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: All Right, Well, thanks for the call, Tim. Remember this
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: it's you know, it's not just pay the man, it's
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: it's also signed the contract.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So it's two things to this.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: It has to be reiterated every single time that CD
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: has A has a deal, uh in place, he has
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: an offer, DAK has an offer. Okay, they don't like
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: it necessarily or they're trying to tweak parts of it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of factors that that go into this, uh,
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: guaranteed money, how much, also, you know incentives, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: escalators type things, the avoidable contracts for votable years this year,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: just everything involved in this, And you know, I just
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: think it's it's a situation that it's not just it's
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: not just the Cowboys paying Dak. They have a deal
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: in place for him, but they're just not it's just
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: not it's not exactly happening just yet, because it's got
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: to be. Dak has to agree to it. CD has
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: to agree to it. They the Cowboys are trying to
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: get this thing done, so it's got to work for
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: both sides of this. And in the meanwhile, it's a
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: big enough deal for CD to take the fine, you
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: know right now, that's that's where he is, about forty
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars a day and he's taking that fine. He's
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: probably hopeful that it'll get you know, voided out if
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: the new deal comes in place. But the Cowboys don't
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: have to do that if they don't want to, all Right,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Randy and text Kana Randy, Right, now, Randy.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Are you there?
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Oh you cannot hear me?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: What's up? Randy?
• 24:58
  Speaker 15: Oh?
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: No, can you hear me? Now?
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, what's up?
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: I started off? I started off with a young mind,
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: blood cloud mine. There's a boss man, Derek listening to
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: this show right now.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Pass the word.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Okay, well, pass the word. He needs to put in
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: the budget while y'all are in California, to go ahead
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: and get you a couple of new lines there at
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: the Star, because you are growing, my friend, and it
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: is almost impossible to get in.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: But not the lines. It's not the phone lines. Is
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: that it would be another person to answer them.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Whatever, let's say, all right, what I got today? I
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: haven't been able to listen to the show this morning
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: because I'm been going at it. Have you talked about
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: all the young Ricky's and young guys? Have you been
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: on that subject a lot?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: All right, help me with this. I know that they did.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: They say that the reason why they didn't go after
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: the free agents and all that because they want all
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: the young guys. Well, every year you'll hear about one
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: or two of the young guys that just really really
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: get you excited. The season comes along and they vanished.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: We don't ever see him here from him because the
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: other guys are, you know, crowding the spots. But I
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: don't know why. But this year, I don't know if
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: it y'all over hopping or just walking me off the ledge,
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: But I am super excited about all these young guys.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: You've got one of them nicknamed the seat.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Belt, who got a law firm.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: And uh, let's see what's his cornerback?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: What's his name?
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: The one we drafted in the next round. Yeah, yes,
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: they've done. Nicknamed him the seat belt because he's latches
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: on and you guys are the ones that well.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Then then the seat the seat belt broke when when
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Tyron Billy Johnson ran right past him for a touchdown.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: He's a rookie making some plays for both teams. That's
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: what happens with cornerbacks. You make a play for the
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: defense and the offense a lot. He seat belt seems
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: a little aggressive. Uh maybe like in the eighties, like
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: an eighties seatbelt. Sometimes sometimes you get that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but I'm I'm just like, I mean, you're
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: out there with him.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Do we have.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Reason to believe that the young guys that they're really
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: hopping up right now in training camp. Do they look
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: like they have a legitimate chance of seeing the field
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: this year and giving us something.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I think so, because they because out of necessity, I mean,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: they have to, you really have to to play these guys.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: You know, you mentioned guys that that did well last
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: year and then kind of panned out. I mean that
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks comes to my deuce Vaughn. I mean, those
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: those are players that you know that I see and
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: that that's going all the way back to a player
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: named Jeff Ogden in my very first training camp here,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean, just just a guy that was like, Wow,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: this guy's unbelievable. What he's great. You know, he might
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: take over for Michael Irvin. I calm down, he'll be
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: traded to the Dolphins next year. And you know, but
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: it happens. It happens every year. I forgot the guy's name, Eric,
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Eric somebody. He was a receiver and out here and
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: it was it was Tanny was the quarterback, and there
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: was some Eric somebody. I can't remember his last name.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: But these two were having an unbelievable camp and and
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: it turns out that the receiver and I forget his name,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: which is also making my point that I think he
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: played in the Arena League for like eight years or
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: something like that. But so what you see out here,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: it's fun, it's football. It's time to get excited, get
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: get get pumped about it. But you know it is
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: you know, you talk about the seat belt, I'll talk
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: about the breaks, tap the breaks on some of these
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: things right now.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But but but.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I know Patrick, Patrick, joshould be they're
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: getting excited about it. That might be who you're talking
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: about about nicknaming certain players and and and that's they're
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: seeing a lot of it too. I think it's good
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: to get excited about these guys. But at the same time,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: you know they are rookies. The pads come on, everything
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: changes a little bit because when you're talking about who
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: you can evaluate, it's always the same. It's always the corners,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: the receivers, the quarterbacks, because those are the things you
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: can really see throw, catch, coverage, all that. Let's see,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: the other guys are going to get a chance to
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: get evaluated now today when the pads come on, right, And.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: It's sad to say that, you know a lot of
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: times these guys don't really get their fair shake until
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: there's an injury. You never want that, right, But I mean,
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: look at Bland. He was just on the top one
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: hundred and he literally got his shot because you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: number seven went down. So it's bad that that's usually
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: the way it works. I kind of hope that they
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: get a shot without the injuries. You know, it would
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: be really cool to see these guys do something, because, boy,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: if you can get a bunch of them youncsters to
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: do something, all this everybody sweat over the cap and
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: big money and all that, that'll kind of ease up.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: A little bit.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: If we can get a handful of young guys to
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: hold us over for the next few years, the cap
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: catch up to us.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: You know, definitely. I mean, that's that's the key. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: need cheap help. I mean, that's that's how you that's
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: how you survive. You draft well and they play, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: they played three to four years of their deal relatively cheap,
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: you know. And what really helps is when you do
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: it to with a quarterback, you know. And that's why
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys had that window when when they weren't paying
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: back the big money. The Eagles had a window too
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: before they you know, had to pay hurts. I mean,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: like it's it's what happens, you know, you but you
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: have to keep drafting well and and that's that's what
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: you need. Cheap superstars and that's that's what it is.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: And right now maybe Bland is one and maybe Ferguson
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: could be one too, and you need more of those.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: That's why you have to develop these guys in that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: I think they thought Sam Williams had a shot too.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: He still does. Means yeah, for the season, but remember
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: he's got a four year deal, so this was his
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: third year. So next year he comes back from an
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: injury and it'll be a contract year for him.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: What does have left on his before.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: He lands a four year deal? This is his third season,
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: so he would be yeah, he would.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: Him another great year. Hem out request an early contract,
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna be interesting because he's mean, let's be honest.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: You cannot dismiss pick sixes, okay, I mean that is unbelievable.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: He gives up plays too. I mean he's not you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: he's not the shutdown cornerback all the time.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: I mean he's a reflection of Digs. That's the same
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: way Dig was, Yeah, if you think about it, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: then he got his big contract. So I kind of
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: think that's the way that works these days.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Over yeah, I do too.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: You know, there's not another player like that, you know,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: like like like Deon, But I think that that I'd
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: like to see both of them at high level like this,
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: you know, like I don't want to see Bland that
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: playing his game, Digs playing his game, and then uh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: you know, those safeties I think will have a good
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: chance to make some plays too. If you've got two
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: playmakers uh there on the on the outside that that
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: that quarterbacks know. Yeah, you know, you good luck testing them.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: But they're also going to make plays on the ball
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: they can catch. I mean, those are four really good
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: hands at the cornerback position. They probably haven't had that
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: in a long long time of like long receiver type players.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so I agree, Well, brother, keep working on that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks Nnie.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Appreciate that kind of claudy right here today. But all right,
• 32:45

• 33:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they just need to recognize the when the show's
• 33:36
  Speaker 15: going on, when the light time, you gotta stay.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Out of the area.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess this is like a golf field.
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: The field.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: The field's fine, it's fine.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's like a golf course. You have
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: to mow it like every day, you know. I mean
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: you have to yeah, and you have to mow it
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: at at you know, eight a m. When the when
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: when the show comes on?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: So all good.
• 33:59
  Speaker 15: I was gonna say it was it's fitting that I
• 34:01
  Speaker 15: am that I'm following Randy because I guess I've made
• 34:04
  Speaker 15: it now because Randy like one of my tweets the
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: other day. So that's that's the stamp that you've made it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: How about ro right?
• 34:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah, Well it's funny enough. That's kind of where I'm
• 34:18
  Speaker 15: going this morning. I'm going to hit two kind of
• 34:22
  Speaker 15: two of I think the topics that we've been going
• 34:25
  Speaker 15: back and forth on Dylan Rob all the people on Twitter,
• 34:30
  Speaker 15: and one of them is, first, I want to do
• 34:33
  Speaker 15: a p s A for all fans, because that's what
• 34:35
  Speaker 15: it's on Twitter, is can we stop with the whole
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: practice like every time someone throws a pick, like it's,
• 34:41
  Speaker 15: oh my God, he threw a pick, so he's terrible,
• 34:44
  Speaker 15: Like they're doing it where it's happening with Trey right now. Everyone,
• 34:47
  Speaker 15: Like I've seen it all over Twitter where it's like
• 34:48
  Speaker 15: see it's like see he missed, he threw a pick.
• 34:51
  Speaker 15: He's terrible, Like and then I see brock perty as
• 34:53
  Speaker 15: three picks, like everyone like the whole pick, this whole
• 34:56
  Speaker 15: pick phenomena at preseason or at training camp stuff, and
• 35:01
  Speaker 15: like seeing one clip is kind of silly, like they're
• 35:03
  Speaker 15: gonna throw I don't care, like they're gonna throw picks.
• 35:06
  Speaker 15: Like it's not the way we're gonna judge, at least
• 35:08
  Speaker 15: I hope not. The measurement for Trey is gonna be
• 35:12
  Speaker 15: in preseason. And then kind of speaking to that like
• 35:16
  Speaker 15: the test will be like if he's progressed through the
• 35:18
  Speaker 15: preseason games, like everyone forgets Nick, And I know you've
• 35:24
  Speaker 15: pointed this out too, but Dak was not a good
• 35:26
  Speaker 15: practice player early in his career and he was being
• 35:28
  Speaker 15: beaten out by Jamil Showers who played some safety. So
• 35:31
  Speaker 15: like I'm just trying to like everyone just tampered down,
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: like the we're trying to stamp whether he's good.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Or bad right now you've had some success.
• 35:42
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's just and and I get it. It's I
• 35:44
  Speaker 15: think it's also like I know we've been telling Dak's
• 35:46
  Speaker 15: been getting ate, but I mean it's been all over Twitter,
• 35:49
  Speaker 15: like and I get it. It's probably from pro And again,
• 35:51
  Speaker 15: I hope they signed Dak and they figure out a way
• 35:53
  Speaker 15: to do it. But I don't know why everyone is
• 35:55
  Speaker 15: so like we want we want to see Trey like suck.
• 35:58
  Speaker 15: Like there's no downside to Trey playing well in pre season,
• 36:02
  Speaker 15: at least for me. So and what one of the
• 36:05
  Speaker 15: callers just mentioned earlier that isn't being said enough, and
• 36:08
  Speaker 15: you mentioned it back after the call, was like what
• 36:11
  Speaker 15: if Dak says no, mm hmm, Like no one's saying that,
• 36:16
  Speaker 15: Like we can say, we're all assuming that they give
• 36:18
  Speaker 15: him a deal, he signs the deal, what if it
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: gets down the line he says, I would rather hit
• 36:23
  Speaker 15: the open market and then you guys can come to
• 36:25
  Speaker 15: me and we can talk. Like that's a that's a
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: possible scenario that like, it doesn't seem like anyone's considering.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So I do think there's no down that scenario as well.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: It's that there's certainly scenario you're not going to feel
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: good about your third round pick of compensation that you're
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: going to get for that, right, you know, that's what
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: it would be. You'd lose him in free agency if
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: he and he could he could say no, right, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: you know he's got to figure that that part out too.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is a little
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: different than than any other team, and so good and bad,
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I mean good and bad. So you know, every pick,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: like you just said, is in practice is probably you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: talked about a lot more. But at the same time,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: there's you know, I see him on TV a lot
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: more too, I see I see a lot more commercials
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: for him, and and that's always going to be the case. Uh,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: if whether you know you're playing or not. You know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: just just look at who's the color commentators for the
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: in the in Monday Night Football and for Fox you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: uh it's Romo and Eateman and and I guarantee you
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: the fact that they played for the Cowboys is a
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: big part of it. I'm not saying that's what he's
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: gonna do. All I'm saying is you make more money
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: when you need the quarterback of the Cowboys off the
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: field as opposed to on it. He knows that his
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: agent knows that they're just trying to make the deal work.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to say no. I think
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: they're going to have a deal where he's the quarterback
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: of the team. That's what I really believe. So yeah,
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: and I think that too. And then like I think
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: it's because people are trying to justify, like like them
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: being like the whole trade for Trey, which I don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: think was a bad move when when quarterbacks we always
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: say quarterbacks are what they are in this league as
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: far as value goes, you're taking a shot at it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: If he plays well, maybe he's a good he's a
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: good backup.
• 38:09
  Speaker 15: For Dak at Dak times. If he does if Dak
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: says no. I know people hate like this is this
• 38:14
  Speaker 15: is the hot button. If people hate this, but like
• 38:16
  Speaker 15: if Dak says no, then the cupboards not empty, like
• 38:19
  Speaker 15: then you then you have something that you can build around.
• 38:22
  Speaker 15: I'm not throwing dirt on tray like I just want
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: to he needs a chance. He hasn't played a lot
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: of football to begin with, so a right, and the
• 38:31
  Speaker 15: other thing is like the other thing is neland feel
• 38:35
  Speaker 15: bad for Sam. We've been talking about like the run
• 38:39
  Speaker 15: defense and uh, you know it wasn't just in Tier,
• 38:42
  Speaker 15: which in Tier obviously that's the obvious area needs to improve,
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: but it's also the edges. And I think hopefully Micah
• 38:51
  Speaker 15: he's a part, you know, he's a part of that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: Hopefully he improves as a as a run edge defender.
• 38:55
  Speaker 15: But I think what I've seen in preseason in the
• 38:57
  Speaker 15: training camp, So I keep saying preseason, but in training camp,
• 38:59
  Speaker 15: is there maybe using maybe the way around this. We're
• 39:03
  Speaker 15: talking about him, you know, wearing down and stuff like that,
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: and I think it's great that Zimmer's moving him back
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: around like he did more two years ago. So maybe
• 39:10
  Speaker 15: I want to see what you think about this is
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: maybe they're going to use the defensive end like nieland
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: who is more of a run first type of defensive end.
• 39:19
  Speaker 15: Maybe in the base package like I'm first down where
• 39:22
  Speaker 15: Mike is off the ball, and maybe that over the
• 39:25
  Speaker 15: course of the year will help kind of preserve him
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: a little bit and then he can kind of get
• 39:28
  Speaker 15: into the line on second and third down and be
• 39:30
  Speaker 15: able to rush the passer. So I just want to see
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: what you thought.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's what thank you for the call, Travis.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: That's what a run defense type thing is going to be.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: It is going to be stopping the run. That's that's
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: what you do. Like when you say that's the focus
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: is stopping the run, then you're like, well, how do
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: we do that? How do you focus on that more?
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: And it's for what you just said. It's it's playing
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: players that have better skill sets to do that to
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: stop the run. And we've we've been here in the past.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Nothing against other schemes because other schemes work too. But
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: but then Quinn's scheme is more about getting after the quarterback.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: It's about it's about playing the pass. His pass rushers
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: that he put in were more about getting to the quarterback.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: The linebackers were more about stopping tight ends and stopping
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: the passing game as opposed to the run. So there
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: is a change there, and I think you're seeing a
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: little bit more emphasis on getting that run stopped. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: you could argue all day that you know, the game
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: has changed to the point where from the eighties and
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: nineties when it was running all the time, and now
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: you've got to play that on defense. But the Cowboys
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: did that all last year and then they got to
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: the playoffs and they faced a team that hit him
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: in the mouth running the ball, And that happens in
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, and so I think for this defense, what
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: I like about Zimmer is that I've seen him play
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: some three to four. We've seen him play four to three,
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: So he obviously can play two different schemes and you
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: need that. You need versatility to be able to play
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: it against any matchup. You want to be able to
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: match up against somebody in the playoffs and say we
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: can go up against them, Oh, you want to run
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: the ball forty fifty times, Fine, we can. We can
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: stop you. You want to throw it sixty seventy times,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: we can stop that too. And so that's what I
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: think a playoff defense needs to be is have the
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: versatility and the flexibility to be able to do that
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: All right, let's uh. And another point that you said
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: about Trey Lance.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: You know, I gotta be careful with this from what
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: I see and be like and just make a quick
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: knee jerk, you know, reaction say wow, he's not ever
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: gonna be that, because I can I could promise you this,
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: and you said it. Dak did not look good and
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: the as a rookie. So I wouldn't have ever thought, well,
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: you know, not only is he gonna be good, you know,
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: down the low, he's gonna be good this year. We
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: never saw that that they came out of left field
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: as a rookie. I never when when I was playing
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: in a in a rec league, you know, a city
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: league flag football game with Chris Beam and some others,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: I would have never thought that Tony Romo, who was
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: our quarterback at the time, would have been the quarterback
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: of the Cowboys for a decade. I didn't see that
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: would coming either. Now Romo, that was like his first
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: year with the team or second year. And and Dak
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: was early on. For Trey Lance, I mean this is
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: like his fourth year, third, fourth year, should start seeing
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: a little bit more out of him there. And for
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: what I see right now, I think Tack's fine. I
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: think Dak's fine to be the starter. I think Cooper
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: Rush is fine to be the backup for what we've
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: seen right now. But a player like him who can
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: run and and he's he's you know, agile and all
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: that that. Those guys tend to play better when the
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: lights come on. So I'm not just see anything, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: but he needs to throw.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: The ball better. There's no doubt about that.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: He's got to throw the ball better because he's getting
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: everybody involved in the passes, including fans when he's throwing
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: the ball around a little bit. So I'd like to
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: see a little bit more accuracy on that part. All right, Uh,
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: let's get going here. We have two more calls. Let's
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: go Brian in Southern California.
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today? If I'm a
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: longtime listener for some caller?
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: All right? All right, we don't have our here we go,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: but here we go.
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: Contracts. All right, I've heard that both CD Lamb and
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: uh Micah are asking for the highest paid non quarterback.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't.
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: Believe they should be at all. Let me tell you why.
• 43:55
  Speaker 11: CD is a great possession receiver, but he never takes
• 43:58
  Speaker 11: a top off of the defense. He can't. You know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: if you give him eighty yards to run, he'll always
• 44:04
  Speaker 11: get caught. There's other receivers that do possession and take
• 44:08
  Speaker 11: the top off. So I wouldn't pay him at the
• 44:10
  Speaker 11: highest at all, you know.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: And then Micah, you know what the longest play of
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: the season was last year was a ninety in the
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: NFL was a ninety ninety seven yard ninety two yard
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: pass to Ceedee Lamb. So if that's not taking the
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: top off, I don't know how you can how you
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: can do that?
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, but that's only the one time, right.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry. Just he just has time.
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: I mean, if he's he's twenty or thirty.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Yards out the top off the defense, that's fine, all right.
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: If he's twenty or thirty yards out, yeah, he can
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: do that. But most of the times, if you look
• 44:46
  Speaker 11: at those throws to the end zone, the defensive back
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: is right on him.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: If he's a possession receiver and he gets one hundred
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: and thirty seven catches, I'll take that and if one
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: of them, just one. Sorry, he's a ninety two yard er,
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: I'll take that.
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: So yeah, but see if you look at Jefferson or Chase,
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: they dick the top off all the time.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: All Right, Well, I disagree with you. I'm not disagreeing
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: with you on I don't think he is going to
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: be the highest non paid but I don't think he's
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: gonna be the highest receiver.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't. I don't think that's going
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: Let's keep our fingers crossed because I think with all
• 45:20
  Speaker 11: the players that we have, you know, they they are
• 45:23
  Speaker 11: all pretty great players, and all these contracts are going
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: to be coming up, and they're going to price themselves
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: out of the team, you know. So that's what I'm
• 45:30
  Speaker 11: hoping that we can keep it low. I think Dak
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: should come in lower too, because he is not clearly
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: the best quarterback in the league. No, and same with
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: Michael Micah disappears after the twelfth or thirteenth game. I
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: think Micah could get two sacks a game, so that
• 45:49
  Speaker 11: would put him at thirty four sacks a year, but
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: he's never ever close to that.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: All right, Bright, thanks for the call. Yeah, I don't
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: know about Yeah, I don't know why you think that
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: that Mike should be getting thirty four sacks a game
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: or thirty four sacks in a season, that that would
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: be a pretty good record there. All right, Rob in Vegas,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry Rob, but we're gonna have to make this quick.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Rob. What's up? Hey, Nick, how are you doing? I'm good,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 46:19
  Speaker 16: The last call of CD is one of the best
• 46:20
  Speaker 16: because he does everything over the middle, catches the ball
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: and definitely could take the top wolfs.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Like you said, Yeah, I mean he's easy.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: He's smashed every record the Cowboys have had and so
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: if if you know, I agree, he's Bob Hayes could
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: do that, and Michael Irvin was a possession guy and
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamber has been better than that.
• 46:41
  Speaker 16: Yeah, ceed does it all. Yeah, it's it's it's funny
• 46:45
  Speaker 16: how the media now has changed with with Dak, the
• 46:50
  Speaker 16: way they're talking about it. You know, they're even saying
• 46:52
  Speaker 16: it out loud that no, we pick Dak is really good.
• 46:55
  Speaker 16: It's just that he plays for the Cowboys and and
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: now they're saying it. And also now that these other
• 47:03
  Speaker 16: quarterbacks have gotten the fifty five million now they're starting
• 47:09
  Speaker 16: to say, well, damn, Dak should get sixty sixty five
• 47:12
  Speaker 16: because he's so much better than these guys. So that's
• 47:16
  Speaker 16: why I think that worries me. I think it'll be
• 47:18
  Speaker 16: about a fifty eight. I don't think Dak is going
• 47:21
  Speaker 16: to get sixty not here anyway, No, I.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Don't think so. I think it will be in a.
• 47:26
  Speaker 16: Way I don't. I think embarrassed isn't the correct word.
• 47:31
  Speaker 16: But I think he would say to himself, wow, Patrick
• 47:34
  Speaker 16: mahomes A'm making that. I mean it's a little it's
• 47:38
  Speaker 16: a little upscene. When the highest guy's fifty five, how
• 47:42
  Speaker 16: do I go up five million over that? It's usually
• 47:46
  Speaker 16: a couple of millions, So I'm thinking fifty seven to
• 47:49
  Speaker 16: fifty eight million. I think it gets the job done.
• 47:53
  Speaker 16: And on the Trey Lance thing, listen, I want Trey
• 47:56
  Speaker 16: Lance to be really good in the preseason because the
• 48:00
  Speaker 16: case scenario is somebody says I need a quarterback and
• 48:03
  Speaker 16: is willing to give you a third a second, and
• 48:07
  Speaker 16: then you make out on the deal. I didn't like
• 48:10
  Speaker 16: the trade at first because I don't like trading for
• 48:13
  Speaker 16: a fourth round pick that you hope never sees the
• 48:15
  Speaker 16: field and.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Doesn't really have a great.
• 48:20
  Speaker 16: You know, he doesn't have a great resume, and it's
• 48:23
  Speaker 16: it's like, no, why am I trading for this guy
• 48:26
  Speaker 16: with a fourth round pick? You know they could have
• 48:28
  Speaker 16: used it definitely in this draft. But no, I don't.
• 48:32
  Speaker 16: Any fan that wants Trey Lance to be bad is
• 48:35
  Speaker 16: just dumb, because no, you never want the guy to
• 48:37
  Speaker 16: be bad. But he has to beat out.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush and he's not there yet.
• 48:42
  Speaker 16: And he's not there yet, so, like I said, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 16: he's not going to go back to the practice squad,
• 48:47
  Speaker 16: I don't. I don't think. So he's got a lot
• 48:50
  Speaker 16: of pressure on him. You know, the preseason games are
• 48:52
  Speaker 16: his playoff games, and let's see what he can do.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: All right, I agree. All right, thanks Rob for the call.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Thanks to everybody for getting on the calls this morning.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: Thanks for the mowers and the blowers doing their thing
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: on a consistent level. All Right, talk coming up next.
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: Cowboys break will be next. I'm sure they'll talk about
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of good stuff that they've seen as well.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Maybe they'll talk a little bit about contracts since it
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: keeps being in the news.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: All Right.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: We will be back on Thursday, which will be August
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: will be August first. We'll be back Thursday at eight
