  Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, May fourteenth, and we're knowing a little
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: bit more about the schedule. We got one game that's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: been announced by the NFL, and then tomorrow we'll have
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the rest. I would imagine there'll be a few leaks
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: here and there. I don't know how much. I mean,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I've already seen some that were wrong, so you can't
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: really judge that. But when the NFL announces it, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: they did yesterday, the Cowboys are going to play Cleveland
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in Week one. Not the first time that's happened. They
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: did it two thousand and eight. They started the season there.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's been a while since we've seen the Cowboys start
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a season not at night.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's been like five years for that, and been a
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: few more years since. I think it has been ten
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: years or so since they've played an AFC team. So
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a little a little bit of surprise, but good storylines,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously with Tom Brady as as being the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: number one analyst for Fox, So you know, they closed
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: out his career as a as a player and then
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: they're going to open it up as a broadcaster. But
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I think more more importantly than that is the stuff
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that happens on the field. Good storylines of Marii Cooper
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and then you got you know, Miles Garrett. If whoever's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: left tackle is, if it's Tyler Geydon, good luck right off,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: right off the bat. So it should be a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of fun. It'll be interesting to see the schedule coming
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: out tomorrow. More stuff that happened. We've got a lot
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of assistant coaches talking today. You'll see some headlines on
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that and in the next few days. All the assistants
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and the and the coordinators talk today. So that was good,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: good insight on a lot of all the positions, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so we'll see some good good stuff there from Mike
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Zimmer talked about what his plans are for Mazzie Smith
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and the weight uh he plans him to be at
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and also looks like he's going to be moving back
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to like a one technique, So you know that's last year.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I thought Mazzi probably thought that's where he needed to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: be weight wise and lower his weight to get down
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to play the three technique. But as Zimmer said today,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is going to try to use him kind of like
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Michigan did and more there was more of a nose
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: tackle one technique type of spot there. So we'll see
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: he remember he's got the shoulder injury, so uh, he'll
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be coming back from that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But we'll talk more about about other other things that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that came out really good stuff from from all the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: coaches and the assistants and the coordinators today, So we'll
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: kind of sprinkle that in. But let's go to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: phone line eight eight eight five five two two nine.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Michael. He's in Colton, California. Michael, what's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: up man?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: What's going on? Nick? And shout out to the whole
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Cowboys nation, thank you for for for taking my call.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: And I know I'm I'm I haven't called in about
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: a week or so. I have called, I haven't got through,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: so I maybe a little late on my comment and everything,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: but but well I got that kind of too right.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: So the Cowboys, you know, I think they've done a
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: great job, you know, of always putting together a good roster.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I think that uh, you know, that will be a
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: solid ten win team, you know, And I think that
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: goes that's shout out to the front office. They've done
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: a great job of putting together talent. And even even
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: though you know, there hasn't been too much acquisitions and
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: free agency and all, I still think that, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for our depths, our depth with all the
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: young guys, you know, I think that they're gonna play good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And I think that a lot of people don't realize
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: the talent we have, you know. And uh so I
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: think consistently, you know, they're gonna put up ten wins,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you know. And that's like I said, shout out to
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the front office, you know. But I really hope that,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: you know, once we do hit the playoffs, you know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And I know that's kind of thinking ahead, but man,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I just hope this running game is isn't gonna kill us,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: you know. And and Tekio Ali, you know, I'm I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm a fan of his and everything, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I just don't think that he got it like he
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: used to, you know. And then I was kind of
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I was kind of like, you know, like, oh, man,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: come on, man, Like I felt that he was a
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I hope that that he's just his concern with his
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: production as he is, you know, about what number he's
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: gonna be, you know. But that's all I have to say.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: And thank you very much for taking my call.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it. You know, get getting the number
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: sorted out. He's wearing fifteen, and you know that matters
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to every player, So it's not just him. I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: these guys want to you know, have the best number
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: for them and whatever their reasoning is. And it's also
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: may so you know, I don't know if it's that's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: just you know, the only thing that matters. But more
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: importantly is the running game going to be there in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the in the playoffs or at the end of the season.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And you said you think there'll be a ten win team,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and if they are, then that that means they'll probably
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: have some some pretty good balance in the on the offense,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: passing game, running game. I'm sure they'll they'll be they'll
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: be balanced if they're gonna win some football games, especially
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: how tough this league is and you have to, you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: know a lot of times run out the clock. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: would imagine they won't have just this really bad running
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: game and still be able to win like that now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But I'll say this though, when you get in the playoffs,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it has to be better than what it has been
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: in the regular season. It's got to be better, uh
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: those that's just how you win. It seems like playoff football,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you have to be able to run the football and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and establish your yourself that way. You know when you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: look at like just look at the Lions. They they
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: felt like they had the forty nine ers on the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: ropes there, you know, in the championship game. But you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they ran the ball well, but then they they could
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: keep running. And the Cowboys, of course, they lost to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a packer team that ran right over on them them
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and they couldn't run at all. So you know, if Zeke,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: if Zeke is going to be the guy, or he
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: can be one of the guys. I mean that That's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's something everyone's talking about. Is this running back by committee?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And Jeff Blasco, the running backs coach, said today like
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that could change week to week on on what running
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: back by committee looks like. All right, let's go to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is it Randy and texall Kenna? Is that who we got?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like I'm want to start trying to
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: catch these shows live, man, because after I listened to
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: it Thursday, I realized there was a lot being said
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: that and I didn't know all that was going on.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I'd like to give Irene some love from my story
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Tom segment, because I knew as soon as I told
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: those stories that day you wasn't having it. I texted
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: kid Chris Rod afterwards and said that I kind of
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: bombed on those.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I'd try to stick the football and that's okay, No,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's fine. It was a little long, but you know
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you you've you've earned your stripes there be able to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: do that because you're such a character. So it was
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a good time, good time.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: And speaking of which, I'm not mad at you and
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Dylan for calling me Mader. I actually cracked up laughing
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: when y'all said that, but just not that. H You know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I'm a pretty sharp steak knife madeer is a little
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: more of a butter knife. I got some smarts and
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: some skills adding in that. And I would love to
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: hang out with Jeff. He sounds like my kind of guy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: And now, you never know, I just listening right now.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Maybe we can work you into bringing us down there
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: on the sideline for a pregame show called we call
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: them the Good Old Boy Podcast or something.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I don't good old boys.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Huh.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: All right, there you go. All right, So the Football
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Talk Katy Rob brought up referees, and I've had this
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: on my mind for several years, and I just I'm
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: not gonna let anybody talk me out of it. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: just think it's the work. The NFL makes billions of dollars,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: so they can afford to do this without a problem.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: They should two different things. Should at one, make referees
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: a full time position, because you know, most of these
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: guys have other main jobs and doing the referee in
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: this kind of side gig for them. And two, I
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: think it should actually be ex players. Now I'm not
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: referring to as Tom Brady something like that. I meaning
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: guys that are one in three out of the league
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: practice squad, Guys that just couldn't quite get over the
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: hump while they're still young athletic. They know the game.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: If you've got wide receiver slash cornerbacks covering the backfield,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: you've got running back slash linebackers covering the middle of
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: the field, tidy ends quarterback slash cup and and you
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: make them a full time employee, they could they could
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: keep their NFL status working towards the NFL pension. You know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: it keeps them in the NFL business, right, I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, think of a Jesse Holly out there. I mean,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: you listen to him talk. He clearly he knows the game.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: You get a handful of those kind of guys. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: just think that it will cut down the state and
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: just all that. Guess have you reminded all that. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: just think that that's just the way it should go.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I like it, and I like the way you're you're
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: tying it in with the with the pension plan and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. Now, but you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: they have to they have to be able to to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: do do the job, you know. And I say, like
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a guy like Nate Jones, a former Cowboy draft pick.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He played for the Cowboys, the defensive back, played about
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: nine seasons in the league, and you know he's worked
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: his way up to an NFL official, but you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: he was in uh, you know, the smaller conferences for
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit and kind of got himself in there.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So it's not just an overnight thing. But like like
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you're saying you're saying, train them to to get to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that point. Yeah, not a bad idea, Not a bad idea.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think Materer is coming up with that idea.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: There you go, Yeah, yeah, appreciated guys. Yeah, but that's
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: you know, I've always thought that. I just I just
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know, you know, And there and they'll be
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: people saying, oh, you've got a quarterback watching after the quarterback.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: He's gonna give him the benefit of that. No, not really, not,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: especially if you're paying them a good salary and that
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: is their income and they are being you know, penalized.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: The rest would be penalized by pay. If they're making
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: the horrible mistakes. You know, I think they're gonna they're
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: gonna do the absolute best they can do for one,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: just stay with that program and move their way up.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: And just like me or you do at our job,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: you know, you want to continue to climb and do better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: So I just I don't understand why the NFL doesn't
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: do it. Think about how many hundreds of millions of
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: dollars each team has, I mean, each owner has in
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: their team, and they're relying on some guys that are
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: not direct tied to the NFL to make decisions on
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: whether their team advances or not. With bad call, it
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: just it doesn't make sense to me. I think they
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: should all be under one umbrella and be all paid
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: by the NFL. Yeah, that's what I got.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I like it. That's that's good thinking. And you know, something,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: something needs to be done. Thanks for the call, Randy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Something needs to be done. And and you know it's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: not just get better refs, it's it's you know, let's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you know, you got to fix fix the problem and maybe,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: like you said, you know, make them a little bit
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: more invested. I I always appreciate people that have ideas
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: on it. You can just say the officiating is bad
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and they got to get better. But but you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: here's here's a way to do it and and get
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: people that understand the game. And also the speed of
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the game is important. You know, the speed of the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: game is is I mean, it's fast. And so you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying these guys have to run with them.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: You know you don't. You don't have to do that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But as far as just being able to understand, when
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you understand football because you've played it, you have to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: be able to anticipate, and you're anticipating where things are going.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that all officials are bad at all.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think that, and I don't like to blame
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: officiating a lot, but I do think that they got
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: to figure out ways to be consistent about it, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe that's a way to do it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I don't mind that at all. All right, let's keep
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it going here, Ali in Florida. What's up.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: On a statement? How are you, buddy?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you?
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: Pretty good?
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Not too bad?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: I got a statement my opinion. Then I want to
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: have a trebr as well for you. First of all,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I think the two most underrated taboys need to get
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: paid before CD and Michael and dak is you and Christine.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: So you need to tell Derek just get on the
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: horse wagon and do it right because Cabalye Nations stuff
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: for that number one. Number two. I'm gonna actually a.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Little bit of facts here.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Nineteen eighty one Giant drafted Lawrence Taylor on the second
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: pick overall which cowboys. I remember they burn the phone
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: line to go to the second pick and pick him up.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: It didn't happen, but he's two hundred and forty pounds
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: six to three. So is Michael Parson two hundred and
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: forty five pounds six to three. And Lawrence played on
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: the three four defense, but he had a lot of
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: good supporting linebacker and he played mad.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: I think personally, trading talk is.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: A little prettymature because you've got a really nice kid,
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: awesome player, pro bowler. I mean the year Cowboys drafted him,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: it was Patrick Satan, then the Banker Smith, Justin Field,
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Michael Parson, and the Slater. I mean even today you
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: think about it, who you take over all of them?
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: It should be Parson. So we need a little good
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: support and hopefully Zimmer bring the best out of him
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: and get them play mad, you know, with the little attitude.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: So then other thing, the trivia question I have for you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: Twenty four said.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: Nineteen eighty three ran the ninety nine and a half
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: yards rushing.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Touchdown eighty three eighty three?
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, correct, Sorry, So what other Cowboys hold the longest
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: touchdown in Cowboys history?
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: So?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Which which what categories are we talking about here?
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're so good.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you you are so good.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: I know you're gonna ask me out so this could
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: be any category. It could be kickoff, it could be passing,
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: and it could be the running cannot be touched, so yeah, it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Could be.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good, all right. I mean these are just
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: kind of guesses here. I think the receiving one, I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: feel like Bob Bob Hayes at ninety five, and I'm
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: not sure there's been a one more than that. Ninety
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: five you are a touchdown for for Bob Hayes, like
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty six or something like that with Don Meredith.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think that's the longest pass. We can look these
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: up and then kickoff returns. You know, some guy named
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Amos Marsh has a long one in there, Alexander Wright,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Felix Jones, they all had long Mike Gekter had a
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: long interception return. I can look these up here, but
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: it's a good question. I don't have all those. I mean,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the easy one, of course is door set. But I'll
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: look that up here in a second and I'll be
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: able to throw that out there. Actually, I think I've
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: got it right here, all right. Dorsets has the longest
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: rush up ninety nine yards. Second is DeMarco Mary ninety
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: one yards, and if something happened last year, then it
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: would change. I feel like one of these did happen
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: last year. Ninety five is the longest pass, Don Marrethith
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to Bob Hayes, longest field goals, Brett Maher sixty three,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: longest punt eighty four yards, Ron Winby longest punt return.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Dennis Morgan had a ninety eight yarder back in nineteen
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: seventy four, and Alexander Wright had the longest kickoff return
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: one hundred and two yard. Amos Marsh's second with one
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: oh one interception return is Brian McCann at one oh
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: one against the Giants. Brian McCann the longest bumble return
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: for a guy we just talked to. Greg Ellis ninety
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: eight yard fumble return against Arizona nineteen ninety nine. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: all right, so that's it. Good stuff. Let's go to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Greg and Sacramento.
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, hows on?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Good Greg?
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: How are you?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well?
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you remember a while back when
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: I called last season then I was asking you about
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: if any of the players ever do like, uh, you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: like cross training, cross boards or like I think I
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: specifically as matter Fay, I'm sure. I specifically mentioned sumer wrestling,
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: like for our for online, uh, you know, for our
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: O line or for our D line.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Right, where are you going with this? Where are you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: going with this?
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: A couple of weeks ago on Twitter or.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: They was last week, yep, I saw my COO was
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: in Tokyo and he was super wrestling practicing. Yep.
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: I was like, man, look at those guys.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: They do listen to us, Yeah, they do.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I listened to you. They did, they did.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you.
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: When I saw that was like, hey, I remember I
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: mened that ill storyline a while back, so called there
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: can tell yeah.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: To you?
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: Oh man. It was funny as see as I saw it, like, hey,
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: they are some cross change anyway. I wonder if it
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: would be helpful for him at all, but yeah, yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: you know, we'll see anyway. So that it was just that,
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: and then I just wanted to mention one other things. Uh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: it's just about it's kind of something that's been bothering me.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: I know a lot of I hear it from Robin
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: Vegas a lot. And I was actually just talking to
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: another friend of mine who thinks kind of the same way.
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: But when they talk about getting rid of McCarthy if
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: we get another twelve one season, And am I the
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: only one thing that they're crazy for thinking that way
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: is that, like, is that the consent consensus that you're
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: getting kind of from the fan base is that if
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: Micha McCart it's another twelve win season, that we're just
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: gonna fire him. Because I don't think that's.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: A good idea.
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: Like, I know, I get it, like I know they won't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: We want the.
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: Postseason, and of course I do too as cowboy Sam,
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: But I mean a twelve wins season, Like you got
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: to be crazy to get rid of a coach and twelve.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Wins, right, yeah? Am I A.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, you're not crazy. You're not crazy for thinking that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a weird dynamic, it really is. I mean,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: because you know, at some point, it's like we got
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to take the next step. And
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, you're you're there, You've got you've got there,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: and you have to figure out why why are they there?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That's what That's what Jerry and Steven have to figure out.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Are they there because we've got great players that we've
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: provided them, or is McCarthy doing all these things? To
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: get them there, but then for some reason it doesn't
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: work in the playoffs. So it's it's a it's not
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: an easy decision because you know, the fan base gets restless.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, we got to get better than that.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: We twelve wins isn't. Isn't what we're trying to do.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: We're trying to go deep into the playoffs. So I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: kind of think, I think it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: Will happen, and they forget that Jason Garrett, Like we
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: have how.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Many like I don't know, Yeah, you know that like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: like three or four times. I mean it happened. It happened,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and it was a different mindset Jerry. You know, this
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: was he firmly believed that Jason Garrett would be a really,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: really good coach. And so when he got here, it
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: was three eight and eight seasons and I'm surprised, you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: he just didn't want to make changes. So he got
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that next year, and then that next year they went
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: twelve and four, and so it seems like every time
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: he was on the hot seat he had a really
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: big year. He just kind of kept, you know, saving himself.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: So but this is different though, because you know McCarthy,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: he's he's having success, but they've got to go to
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that next level. And if that doesn't happen, I think we'll,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you know, especially with the contract the way it is,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it would surprise me if if they let it run out,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: just like they let Jason Garrett's contract run out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Oh yes, that's just so nuts to me. I don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: know why. But and then just one of the things,
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: if I could real quick, I really like it was exciting.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: Like I know, I know Zeke is not going to
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: be like twenty sixteen Zeke again, but but what I
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: think he will bring back on twenty sixteen is the
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: twenty sixteen locker room field because I remember him and
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: Dak in twenty sixteen. They were having so much fun
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: and they're like best friends and stuff, and I don't know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: like I think I feel like they elevented each other's play.
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: So I think that's gonna happen this season with Zeke
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: and Dak. They're gonna kind of get that twenty sixteen
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: locker room dynamic going again, and maybe that can kind
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: of spark something, you know, something with all the other
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: players and all this new young young players.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That we have.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: So I think the Zeke i think bringing Zee back
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: was great. Great, everybody accout wish. Oh that's all I got.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Thanks for thanking much, thanks Greg. I think bringing him
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: back and and you know, he's got things to prove.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I still think he can do some things really well
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and they feel like he can't as well. I mean
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they can, he blocks, he can, he can still get
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: short yardage runs, catch the ball out of the backfield,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you know, and he brings a good attitude as far
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: as like you know that that twenty sixteen locker room
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: where they were playing, you know, they turned it into
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: like candy land where they were throwing candy at each
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: other and stuff like that. We've got to remember Zeke
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was the youngest player in the NFL when he got here,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Like he was the youngest player and so and him
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and Deck where we're young there were kids now you
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: know here they are what ye're nine? Is that what that?
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: It's so it's it's different that they've taken on a
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: lot of hits that on the field. Off the field,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of scrutiny. It's different. It's definitely business.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they can have fun and I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: not saying that they won't have fun. But I'm just
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: saying it's it's a different Twenty sixteen was just, you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: just a unique season, and you just it's hard to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: replicate that again. You know, it was supposed to be Romo.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: He gets hurt Dak. Nobody thinks Dak's ready and he
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't until he was, you know, and it's just it
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: was just lightning in the bottle. It was just such
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: a such an awesome season. So but you know, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: agree with you. I think having Zeke would would will
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: be good for this team. All right, Tim Winston, Salem,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: what's up.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick? How you doing good?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good, doing good. So we're starting out with Cleveland, boy,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: that's gonna be a challenge. Yeah, yeah, we'll we'll find
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: out real quick if we've improved our running game and
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: uh run defense. Yeah yeah. And I want to kind
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: of make a comment on the previous caller talking about
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: the officiating. Yeah, I've always thought some ways, somehow with technology,
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: we can you know, it's a game of inches, and
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: I've always thought we can put some type of chip
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: in the football and maybe corresponded with the field to
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: you know, first downs are so critical from time to time,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: and it's it's you know, you would want to you know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I've seen some bad spots and stuff like that. But
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: I thought he came up with a great idea about
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: the officiated. But I just kind of wanted I've always
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: thought that, what do you think about that?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like you're putting the chip in the
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: ball and making sure. I mean, I don't know how
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you do that with first downs all the time. It
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: always weird to me about it's weird with first downs
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: because you know, the ball comes in and the guy
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: throws it, and the you know, the side judges in
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: running in, and I mean, it's it's not it can't
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: be like official. I mean, how how can they do
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: it like that? He gets closer to the goal line,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: it seems to get a little bit better. But but
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: you know, a guy runs to the forty two yard
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: line and the side judge runs in, and the ball
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: rolls over here and he catches it, puts his foot down,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: and I mean it it actually surprises me how good
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: they have it. You know, when you see the spot,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: you see where you think the ball is, and then
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: where they snap the ball thirty seconds later, it's pretty
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: close to that. But yeah, technologies here, and I mean
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: it's always advancing and sure, I mean especially in the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: end zone. You know, it's like that ball breaks the
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: end zone. I mean, like hockey the red light on.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that, but it's usually easier to see.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: But it's those first downs that I think are always tough.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But I'm all for it. I'm all for doing everything,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you know, everything that they can to make the game
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: better for sure. Alan Merkele, Texas is next.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well. Hey, I got a couple of points
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: right quick?
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: The first one. I'm not sure if somebody might have
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: already suggested this, and I could be wrong, but I
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: thought DAK and CD set the record for the longest.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: You're right, I knew.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I knew that that ninety seven. I think it was
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: thirty seven or ninety eight.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I thought it was ninety two, but I could be
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: wrong on that, but I remember looking this up, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: you're right. It happens, guys. I can remember every game,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: every score from nineteen eighty three, but I forget about
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: last week. I forget about the last game the Detroit
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, I always it always happens like that, So.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just happened to be there as well.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Chrystal looking up, I think it's ninety two. I don't
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: think he'd breath. They broke the record to they anyway. Anyways,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: go ahead, what do you got?
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And the second thing is I came in on the
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: carnversation that that gentleman was having about the referees, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: my biggest concern is two things. Everything that goes up
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: must come down. The NFL has not always been the
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: most popular sport in America. It is the most popular
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: sport right now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: But I mean.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Baseball has been there, NBA have been there, and they
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: always do something.
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: That drops him down.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: With Baseball, it was the strikes too close together, I think,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: with the not bad officiating, but just the mistakes they're making,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to turn a lot of people off,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: especially with betting. And then the other one, the one
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: that concerned reads I think the most is I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Jerry's playing Russian roulette by not signing Dak in CD
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: and if Dak had a breakout year this year and
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: for some reason we can't pay him, I think the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: fans could some of the fans could revolt against Jerry,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: and I think the value of the team could go down. Well,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: what are your opinions on that? I'll hang up and listen.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, BA one is always tough because you're paying. A
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: scenario that nobody, you know, nobody really wants to see
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: is you know, them not being able to sign him
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: after he has this unbelievable season. Another scenario that they
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to see is you pay him right now,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: pay him and they go eight and eight, eight nine,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: or you know, nine to eight and miss the playoffs
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: or first ront exit or whatever, and he doesn't play
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: as well and has a bad game in the playoffs
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: or whatever things we've seen before. And then you don't
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: after now heading into his tenth year and he hadn't
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: gotten the job done, and the fan base is turning
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: on now he's making you know, if golf is making
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: fifty three, he's making more than that probably, And and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I say that, I mean, I understand golf has had
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: more success in the postseason. I get that, but I
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: still think it's going to be right in that neighborhood.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So either way, it's gonna be a lot of money.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: And so that's it's they're kind of I say it
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: every show, I feel like it there it's a fork
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: in the road. It's kind of where they are right now.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Going back to your your question about you Dak to
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb ninety two yard touchdown against the Lions. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: remember see as I'm looking at this page in the media, guy,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I remember looking at it like not too long ago,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, yeah, so I knew. I remember
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: there was something that happened this season in yeah, ninety
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: ninety two. It's the second longest pass in the history
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: of the Cowboys. Don Meredith was first with ninety five
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty six to Bob Hayes. And then next
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: is ceed Lamb with a ninety two yard touchdown against
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the against the lines. And you know that that was
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a nine point touchdown. You know, if there is such
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: a thing, it was because there were he was about
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: to get a safety. Yeah, and Dak did a great
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: job of getting getting away from that sack and then
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: finding CD. I think the NFL voted that one It's
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: play of the Year at the end of the season.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: So all right, good stuff. Let's go to uh Lewis
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: in Langston, Oklahoma.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Hey, how you doing, good man?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: Not much?
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: Not much?
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: I'm kind of I didn't really get to hear everything
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: he was talking about, but I was catching up with
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: the Dak talk and Kirk mean not Kirk, Jerry Goff
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: getting that big paycheck, and I was wondering, like, hey, like, well,
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: I mean at this point, I know people say Dallas
• 30:42
  Speaker 13: just pay them, but I'm like, does d go back
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: to his agent and say, hey, listen at some point?
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: I mean, I've been saying I want to stay here.
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: They saying I want me, they want me here. Let's
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: make something happen, because I know that you can't be
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: just sitting on your hands and just waiting for the
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: paint to dry. I mean, what are we gonna do here?
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: And then like it helps with free agency if we
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: go ahead and extend this, and I know they don't
• 31:06
  Speaker 13: want to keep pushing it down the road, but yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: I mean, unless you're going to tell me Trey Lance
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: is the heir apparent, Like we got to make something happen.
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: And I know all most of the big free agent
• 31:17
  Speaker 13: names is going to be gone and stuff like that,
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: but I always wonder, like, what you know once training
• 31:23
  Speaker 13: camp starts, like who's going to get injured? Because you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 13: you don't knock on wood, don't whin nobody get injured.
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: But somebody's going to get injured. Try to pick up
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: somebody if you don't have no money to make it work, Like.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Where do we go from here?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I think they will. You know, I think
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: training camp they'll always seems to happen. So I think
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: that they probably will get one of those guys done.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And I kept thinking it'll be CD. But yeah, Yeah,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: it's just that's what's talk about doing these shows in May,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: because you know, right, you keep you guys keep having
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the questions and we don't have the answer because you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: it's still it's still a wait and see type thing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: And and I they're great questions. Well, who's the quarterback
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: next year? That's a great question, and then here's another one,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: who's the backup? And then who's the third quarterback? You
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: got three quarterbacks on the team right now and none
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: of them could be here next year.
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and so how does that make Mike McCarthy shield.
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: I mean, we're just sayings, but like as the coach,
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: who knows you.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Have a coach who may not be here next year.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: If it's a coordinator who may not be here next year,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and all Pro right guard who's one of the best
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: offensive linemen in the history of your team who may
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: not be here next year.
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I mean are we are
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: we saying we're in the rebuild year without saying we're
• 32:46
  Speaker 13: in the rebuild year?
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Like, what are we doing?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I don't next year might be right, right, right?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Win the thing? I mean serious, That's why I look
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: at it. Go I mean, go win it. And and
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I know that you guys have called and certain people
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: you know specifically have called and be like, they didn't
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: go for it. They didn't go for it. I really
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: don't think they had the opportunity to go for it, right,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I just I don't. You guys say it all the time.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: And they they're trying to They're trying not to rebuild.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think they want to rebuild. They do not
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: want to do that for next year. They want to
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: have a really good football team this year and have
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: a chance to have a really good football team next year.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: They believe in their draft picks, they believe in the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: young guys, They believe in how they develop, and they
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: think they can do that. They think they can replace
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: with what they have internally and go and have another
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: good year and the next.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Year's gonna be tough. Go ahead, but they.
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: Don't want to be And I mean regardless, you got
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: all the ins and outs to except the quarterback. We've
• 33:50
  Speaker 13: been through quarterback perparatory. We don't want to go back there.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I just feel like Dak will be here.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's not going to be here. Think
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: they'll figure out a way for him to be here.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: That's that's what my gut would be. But I don't.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it all gets done. That's just
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: kind of the way I think. Because I think you'll
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: play well this year, I do, and I think he
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: plays well. I think that's probably what will happen.
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: All right, So okay, one question and I'm out here. Okay,
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: who do you think we're getting done on training camp?
• 34:19
  Speaker 13: Because training camp always we get a sign right training
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: camp starts, there's always a big name getting tired. Who
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: do you think we got CD Michael?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Now, I think it'd be CD.
• 34:29
  Speaker 13: Okay, all right, I'm out of here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you all.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks, that's my guest Irene in Virginia. We're going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: go quickly to Irene.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: You down?
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: Good gains?
• 34:40
  Speaker 14: Rainey here and I had a little bit of a
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: full but okay anyway, uh so you are a question
• 34:47
  Speaker 14: in a comment. I guess I was wondering, in your opinion,
• 34:52
  Speaker 14: who is the most deserving player It can be Cowboys
• 34:55
  Speaker 14: or non Cowboys to ever not get a super For me,
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: it's with Romo for the Cowboys, and if Dan Marino
• 35:05
  Speaker 14: is the non Cowboys, I just think both that Will
• 35:08
  Speaker 14: Marino obviously played better than Soromo, but it just both
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: of them kind of bugged me that they never got
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: I mean, they had their chances, I guess, but just
• 35:18
  Speaker 14: never materialize. So that's my question for you, and then
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: proment schedule release tomorrow. I am just hoping for non
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: January or late December game in Washington because I go
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: to the games and I'm tired of having six layers
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: of clothing on. But do you have do you have
• 35:36
  Speaker 14: a sense that maybe we might get a Sunday night
• 35:39
  Speaker 14: game because of the Dan Quinn storyline, This is what
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: I'm thinking.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would be one you'd want to
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: get somewhat early on into the season, and it might
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: be at home, but I would imagine, you know, let's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: do that where they're both still pretty relevant. And I'm
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: not saying that they're both going to have bad seasons,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: but possible for one of them to have a bad year.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a good storyline, you know, but it'll
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: be a good one in Week four, Week five. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I like mixing it up. I don't think you got
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to play the Giants every game in Week one, which
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: they're not this year, and you don't have to play
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: at the Eagles or you know, or the Washington to
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: end the season. I mean, I mean, if you're going
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: to start the season on the road, I feel like
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: you should probably finish it at home, you know, last
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: game of the year. These games always seem to matter,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: so that would be somewhat fair, I think if to
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: do that, not that the league always does a fair schedule,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: but yeah, all right, anything else, that's all right, thank you,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: all right. I mean a good question too about the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: deserving players I'm trying to think. I mean, Dann Renal
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: just seems like the obvious choice there, you know, like
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: he's he's one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: and he didn't. He didn't win a Super Bowl. He
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: had a chance his rookie rookie year eighty four, I believe, yeah,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: first or second year, but he he was, Yeah, he
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: had a shot, had a great year and lost to
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. And then after that. I mean
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: there there's probably you know, really really good like position players,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: you know, but as far as the Cowboys go, I mean,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: it's it's you know, it's Witting in Romo. I mean
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's that group right there, you know, that that
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: that never really got it done. I mean you can
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: look at some of those, you know, any player in
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the eighties, you know, good good players, and you know
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: you're eversince walls and stuff like that. But that's that's
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: really it. I mean, it's with Witting in Romo for me,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: and I like the Marino choice. I'm sure there's some
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: other really good ones, but he was he was pretty
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was outstanding. All right, let's go to
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Fernando in Miami. Are you doing.
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: Fine?
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Fine?
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: No?
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: God, got three gower questions today? Maybe you could get
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: me and turn into a Debbie Upper after these three questions,
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: all right, number one. A lot of these shows they
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: say that Hoffman and Bass, that that could be starters,
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: and so on and so on. And I know in
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: the preseason we couldn't run the ball. I know that
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: the Cardinal game we had all kinds of issues. And
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: I know in the final game against Washington, where everybody
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: was saying, all the Cowboys are going to be winning
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: twenty eight to three at halftime and they're going to,
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: you know, sit the guys down and then they'll get
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: ready for the playoff game. We struggled in that game.
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: So I'm wondering what do people see in these guys?
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: That's number one, Number two Ezekiel. The last time Ezekiel played,
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: we played the forty nine ers and lost. I remember
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: when Collard went out with the broken leg as a kill,
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: couldn't do nothing. We didn't have a running game, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: I mean it looked hopeless with him in there. I
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: mean a lot of people were saying, why don't they
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: play Malie Davis after that game? And then the third one, Oh,
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: the third one. Doc. Some people love Doc, some people
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: don't like Doc. And I'm thinking, if you look at
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: like Josh Allen in the playoffs when they're losing, you
• 39:28
  Speaker 9: see him jumping over people, you know, just running over people.
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: You see the Will when we lost to the forty
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: nine ers a couple, well, the forty nine ers two
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: years ago in Texas or three years ago. That game
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: was very close and you didn't see Will. I mean
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: it just seemed like they look so dead and the
• 39:50
  Speaker 9: game was there. I mean, we were close, and they
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: they looked so down and like they had no no energy,
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: and like the Packet game kind.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Of the same way at the beginning.
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: You don't see the that fight. And I don't want
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: to blame him for all of that, but I mean,
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: if you can play on the Josh Sallen running over
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: people and you see that fight, you don't see it,
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: and you don't.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: See it, and then and then what does that? I
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: mean he loses. I mean like I mean you guys
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: say here and say, oh, Josh Allen, he's running over people.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: And then and they lose.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: So I mean, no, yeah, no they lost, But I
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: don't see that Will that fight. It's almost like, okay,
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: we lost, Okay, whatever, we're done.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be funny. What does Will in
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: fight look like? But what does it look like running
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: over people?
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: You know, being the Will?
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know, when I think of Will, I
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: think Roger Stalbach's highlights when he's running and then they
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: hit him in the ribs and you see him go
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: down and you see him scrambling the desperate I would say,
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: it's like desperate. They don't look desperate. They almost look like, Okay,
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: we didn't do it. You know, we're not good enough. Sorry,
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: you don't.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: See that fight, you know, Okay, not really, I'm not
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: gonna say I know, I don't. I kind of disagree
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: with you a lot on this one, which is fine,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Which is fine. I think what we see is losses.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: We see the loss and then that you know. But
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I've seen Dak play well in the playoffs. I've seen
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: him play with the game on the line in the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: playoffs against Seattle, flipping over third and thirteen and running
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and diving and doing a flip and getting fourteen yards
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: to win the game. I mean that that looked like
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: that look like Will and fight. Now, Yeah, it wasn't
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: last week. I get that it wasn't last it wasn't
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the last game, But I just I don't think that's
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the problem. I think that they have a problem running
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the ball, stopping the run, and and maybe sometimes it's
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: too big. Sometimes it's too big for them. I mean,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: they they have wilted, you know, under the pressure, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: that's that's that's happened. That's that's a thing. I mean,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I don't you can't run from that. It's not like
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: it's not like the Packers were just that better, that
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: much better of a team. I think the Cowboys played
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: like crap and uh, the Packers came in there and
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: steamrolled them.
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: They they have had the Washington game before that. I
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: was worried. I was like, what is this? Remember that
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: at halftime we were barely win?
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Well do you do you what about the games where
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: they're winning at halftime and they lose. Do you count
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: that as a win, Because I mean, when you win
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: thirty five to ten, I'm fine with that. I mean,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm okay thirty five to ten. You beat Washington
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: thirty five to ten like you're supposed to that, I'm
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: okay with that. I mean, yeah, yeah, Washington brings it
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit and the Cowboys struggle somewhat, but you
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: play sixty minutes at the end of the day is
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: thirty five to ten.
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: So yeah, you know it was worrisome. I know early
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: it was worrisome because they were missing the two defensive ends.
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: I think one went to the Bears, tell them. One
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: went to the Niners, And I was like, what is
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: going on here? If we played the Packers like this,
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: we are done and we were done.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: What's the name of the running back that they signed?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Voice now I'm talking about the Cowboys?
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, voice guy.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Now I'm talking about Ezekiel Elliott Elliott. Yes, yeah, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know how you pronounced it, uh earlier?
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: What do I call them? A?
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just go with zeke. Zeke's easy, all right,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: good stuf Fernando. All right, you talked about center and
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: they they they like Hoffman and they like bass and
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: then they like Bbie. So I think all three of
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: them have a chance to compete, and you can, you know,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: you can take those two games however you want. You know,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: they lost to the Cardinals in Week three, and that
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: was that was that was a bad loss. And they
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: couldn't start, they could stop the run. They also couldn't
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: score down in the red zone. And then then they
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: beat Washington. I don't think it was that bad of
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: a lot. I mean, those games are tough. I mean,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Washington at home, it's always it's always going to be
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: that for a little bit. And then the better team won,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: and so I'm not really concerned with that. Two of
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: their top three games in terms of offensive yards. Where
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: were those two games? So that's what Hoffman's thinking, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I when I got in there, Yeah, we didn't win
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: both the games, but we're moving the ball, so it's
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: not like he was. Now, It's not like they struggled
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: because he was in there and when Bass played, you know,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: it is kind of the same thing. And they're and
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: they're young, so I think they feel like that from
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: a development standpoint, that they're going to get better. And
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: then I don't the Zeke part. I mean, yeah, Pollard
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: went down and Zeke came. You know, he wasn't He
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: can't just be the guy. They got to get some help.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: They got to get help for him, no doubt about it.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: All Right, let's get it going here with Michael in
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Bowling Green, Kentucky.
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: How you doing today, Nick and Mike?
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: How you doing pretty good?
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: You?
• 45:00
  Speaker 12: Uh, you're looking forward to uh to training camp to
• 45:04
  Speaker 12: really see him get going.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we got we got ways to do
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: that first, you know, and now I takes some vacation
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: time before all that, and and yeah, you know it
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: hasn't gotten really really hot yet, and when that happens,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: that's when you really started looking forward to training camp.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: But uh, but as for what you're saying, let's see
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: what they've got, and I think you can you know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: mini camps, O t as that that that that'll be
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: good to see. So you kind of build your way
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: up to it. Yeah, I mean it starts with tomorrow.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: The schedule. I want to see that. I want to
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: see what the schedule looks like, how it lays out,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: and so that you know, it's just it's a step,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: step by step process here.
• 45:42
  Speaker 12: So well, uh, I heard this weekend, you know that
• 45:47
  Speaker 12: the rookies work for practicing and that they had BB
• 45:52
  Speaker 12: at center and they basically told him right after the draft,
• 45:56
  Speaker 12: go ahead and start getting ready to be the center,
• 45:58
  Speaker 12: which I'm into. The asked about it. That's where I
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: want to see center.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and but uh, you know you were talking you.
• 46:07
  Speaker 12: Were talking about earlier about the chip and the football
• 46:10
  Speaker 12: you know how you know, how people are conspiracy serious anyway? Already?
• 46:14
  Speaker 12: You know, the league is scripted and all this right
• 46:18
  Speaker 12: the first time if somebody's watching it and they go,
• 46:21
  Speaker 12: all right, we got a first down and then they
• 46:23
  Speaker 12: go they were two inches short. Oh, the league don't
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: want us to win, you know, they're against us. I mean,
• 46:31
  Speaker 12: that's that's the way it would be.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you put technology in it, it should
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you know, it should help with that.
• 46:40
  Speaker 12: Right, I mean, well people think there's a lot of
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: people think the Earth is flat, I mean and really
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: believe it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but yeah, yeah, I don't. We don't need
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: to get into all that. But yeah, no, not You're
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: you're right, it's always going to be something. I mean,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: you're always going to complain over over something. Uh and
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: if if you do start start having replay on all
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: these calls and stuff like that, then the game is
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: gonna be four hours and people will complain about that.
• 47:07
  Speaker 12: So it's always something to complain about.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, So all right, I'm just looking forward to training
• 47:14
  Speaker 12: camp and really really getting going. And I said, the
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: schedule tomorrow and I was hoping we play the forty
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: nine ers week one. Just go ahead and get a
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: measuring stick, but I guess not. I mean, Cleveland will
• 47:26
  Speaker 12: be good.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm okay. Well, I'm you know, letting that game
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: build up a little bit. You know, I think this team, honestly,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, this team is going to have to get
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: better as the year goes goes on. They're counting on
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of young players, so you know, I think,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, Cleveland's gonna be tough Week one. I mean,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough almost every game. But I'm okay
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: with the forty nine ers thing being, it'll probably be
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: early October like it's like it typically has been.
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: So well, I'm enthusiastic about the season. I'm just I'm
• 47:59
  Speaker 12: I'm I'm definitely on the positive side of it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, all right, good to hear from you, Michael,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. We'll get a text question here
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: from Baraka Johnson. He's in New Jersey and he lives
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: in He lives near Maryland where the Commander Stadium is.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: He says, why are people not understanding if Zeke is
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: behind a good line, he will be a productive and
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: get high value yards. You know, I think he has
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: been behind some some good lines. I mean, it's just
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: every year, it's just kind of gone down a little bit.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And but yeah, I mean the line. I mean, that's
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: what they're they're trying to do. They're trying to fix
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: the line. And I think that the Cowboys told us
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: that that's what they you know, they value more is
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: getting a good quality offensive line. And when that happens,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: they feel like they've got running backs second that are capable,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: and Zeke is one of them. So I think that
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: that's that's kind of what the Cowboys are telling us,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: that that's the plan. And that's so far, that's what
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: we see. All right, Irwin and Denver, next call.
• 49:08
  Speaker 13: What's going on?
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good, doing good?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to touch on a couple of things.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I really think the Cowboys had a really good draft.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: They you know, getting BB and guiding in the you know,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to help out with offensive line.
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: But I want to ask you, is.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: It confirmed that we're playing Cleveland that Sunday, that first Sunday?
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, So.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Check this out.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: One of the things that I.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Think most people are going to be watching, and I'm assuming,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's kind of assuming that Guidan's going to
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: be our starting left tackle. H he's going to have
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a hell of a game against Garrett, you know. So
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Dallas is planning on doing. Hopefully
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: see how it plays out. Maybe possibly give him some
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: help over there. But that's gonna be really interesting to.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Watch, right right.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Well, you know he I hate to sound like McCarthy
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: here because it missed something that Mike would say in
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: the press conference like he hadn't even put a helmet
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: on yet, you know, like he hasn't really had a
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: practice like that, And so you're right, I mean, it
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter between now and then. He's still going to
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: be a rookie in his first game and he's still
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: going to be going up against Miles Garrett, so who
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: looks like a superhero. So that, yeah, that's gonna be
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a heck of a challenge, right, Welcome
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: to the NFL, bro here you go. So, yeah, yeah,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: that's yeah. I would I would think he would probably
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: need help. Yeah, And I would think four years from
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: now when they play, you know, if if Garrett is
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: still playing and you know, Cleveland comes to Dallas or whatever,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: you probably need help. You know, the left tackle is
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: gonna need up that's just how good Miles Garrett is.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: He's really good. I just don't want to see I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: don't want to see the game coming down to Garrett
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: just kind of taking over, you know, well, hitting behind
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and causing fumbles and stuff like that.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: It's going to be.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let you you know, let's look at it
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: from both ends. Let's look at let's look at the
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: positive side. Because I don't know who it is for Cleveland.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I really don't know that their offensive line, but somebody's
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: better be blocking Michael Parsons to making sure Michael Parsons
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't go around the edge and hit their quarterback in
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: the back and and and you know, force a fumble
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: and win the game. Because that's what you know, Micah,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I can promise you this. Whatever they say in the
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: middle of the week about the game, Michaeh circles that
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: game and says, that's me versus Miles Garrett. He will
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: think that way. And I bet Garrett does too. These
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: are two players that are be going for the defensive
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Player of the Year and uh right, and so yeah,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent you have to be thinking that way.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, I think Michaeh will we'll try to
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: wreck the game on the other side, So that's gonna
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: be fun too. It's not just like Guidon versus him.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: It's that matchup, you know. You see it when you
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: know the quarterback, you know, Brady versus Manning, you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: and it's like they never faced each other, they never
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: played next, you know, on this field at the same time.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: But it was kind of that way, and I think
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: for defensive players like those two, it'll be that way
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Right, So one more quick question for you, Nick, what
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: do you think the chances.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Are the Cowboys possibly sometime in June when they get
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: some more money in the cap, possibly go after somebody
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: like Clias Campbell to help us on that defensive side
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: And I'll let you go.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Thanks for taking my call, Yeah, thank you. There's there's
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: some names that I've I've heard I'd rather not share,
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: but there's some there's some guys out there that that
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: that have veteran guys there's probably two or three, and
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Campbell could be one of them. There's some others though,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: and also guys that have played for Zimmer So I
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: do think defensive tackles a position that you might see
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: some some help there, and it might be a situation
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: too where you know, some of these guys, like I'm
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: trying to these the tackle Jason Peters you know, a
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and also Anthony Barr. I mean,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: they were they were kind of on the radar for
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: a while and then you get the camp and then
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: then they sign. And you know, we've seen t Y
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Hilton go what ten weeks eight weeks or something like
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: that before he signed. So some of these veterans, you know,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: they're not interested in going to ot as in camp
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: and sometimes even training camp. Uh you know, and they'll
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: they'll get here when they need to get here. So
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that that the Cowboys, you know that
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: they're they've got guys waiting in the wings. I just
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: there's some players out there that are aren't necessarily chomping
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: at the bit to get in right now to the
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: conditioning program. But they're they're they're guys the Cowboys are
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: keeping tabs on and might be signing it. And what
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: happens is too is don't forget that you want to
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: give these guys some good reps in the OTAs and
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and and mini camp. Anyways, you don't want these veterans
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: to come in and be a progress stopper. I mean,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: let's just see what Justin Rodgers has, you know, at
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: seventh round pick from from Auburn. Let's see what he
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: has before you have to go and sign another guy
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: in there. And you might have to do that, but
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: but let's give him the reps, you know, between now
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: and then and see how he developed. All right, last caller, Uh,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: we got Dylan. Well, I'll say, last caller, how about
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Dylan in Northport, Florida. We'll see what happens next. Dylan
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: in Northport?
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, how's it got good? How are you good? Man? Good?
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: I'm just joining in la here, so hopefully. I'm sure
• 54:26
  Speaker 15: nobody's talked about this specifically, but I just want to
• 54:28
  Speaker 15: talk about the Cowboys succession plan to Dak and how
• 54:31
  Speaker 15: much it sucks right now. Hear, and it's just a
• 54:35
  Speaker 15: bad spot. They have no leverage as far as the
• 54:37
  Speaker 15: negotiations go, and there's so many issues around letting Dak
• 54:42
  Speaker 15: go that it's just it wouldn't be right to bring
• 54:44
  Speaker 15: in a young quarterback and a team that is in
• 54:47
  Speaker 15: such a big transition period between the offensive line running back.
• 54:52
  Speaker 16: You know, we're hoping the.
• 54:52
  Speaker 15: Offensive line is going to be rebuilt, but we don't know.
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: I mean, these guys have coming in suck where they
• 54:56
  Speaker 15: could be great, you don't know yet. So it's tough
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: to bring any young guy, whether that's Trey or a rookie.
• 55:02
  Speaker 15: You've got Deck's cap numbers sixty six this year, fifty
• 55:05
  Speaker 15: seven over the next three years, the forty million of
• 55:07
  Speaker 15: it next year, So that hurts a potential rookie deal
• 55:10
  Speaker 15: savings treys on a one year and they have one
• 55:14
  Speaker 15: one preseason to determine what they want to do with him.
• 55:16
  Speaker 15: So it's like all with uncertainty, and you know, I
• 55:19
  Speaker 15: know it takes two to tango, but man, if there
• 55:22
  Speaker 15: was one thing I'd have to do right now as
• 55:23
  Speaker 15: the front office like I have to get back done,
• 55:27
  Speaker 15: and I'd play their game. The agents geame whatever they're
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: trying to play. I mean, they could be stalling on purpose.
• 55:32
  Speaker 15: So all of these quote unquote leaves are dropping and
• 55:35
  Speaker 15: driving Deck's price up even more. If that's even happening.
• 55:39
  Speaker 15: I don't know what the agent's saying, but man, that
• 55:40
  Speaker 15: would be like the biggest emphasis and would have been
• 55:42
  Speaker 15: as soon as the season was over. If I was
• 55:44
  Speaker 15: the front office.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm just I'm just saying, but don't you
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: also understand why. I mean, you could have there's other
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: callers that could call right behind you that says, we've
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: already seen this, We've seen what it is. Why we
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: keep why do we keep pushing this down the road?
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the other side of this. Yes,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: you may not get a quarterback better than him, but
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: at some point you have to reset. And I am
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: not saying that's what they need to do. I'm just
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: saying that's that's why this is such a hard decision,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Because you can wake up on a Tuesday and go,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think Dak is the guy. I don't think
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: he's going to be the guy, and maybe we should
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: just kind of reset, and then on Wednesday you're like,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: pask my quarterback, sign him, get him locked up. I
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: don't want to Chad Hutchinson or somebody like that Quincy
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Carter to be the quarterback of this team.
• 56:35
  Speaker 15: Well, that's what they're setting theirselves up there to have,
• 56:37
  Speaker 15: is that, because that's their succession plan. If they had
• 56:40
  Speaker 15: a succession plan, I'd say, if you don't want to
• 56:42
  Speaker 15: have Dak that's fine, but they don't have one right now,
• 56:45
  Speaker 15: and if they're relying on Trey potentially, I'm not comfortable
• 56:48
  Speaker 15: with that. I know they aren't either, So that's all
• 56:50
  Speaker 15: I'm saying.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, you can't just go find brock Perdies.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, they don't. It just doesn't always happen like that,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: because you can draft one in the seventh round and
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: he could be brock Party. He also could be bitten
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: to Nucci good luck. So I mean, yeah, you know,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: it's you can find success stories. You know, Tom Brady
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: was in the sixth round, but I bet you six
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: round quarterbacks probably for the most time. You know, Spurgeon win,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: somebody like that. I don't even know who that is,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, anything else, Dylan's appreciate it, all right, cool,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: all right, thank you for the call. Let's go. Uh
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: do you have another caller and he's a first team
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: all storyline caller, Ronnie new Jersey.
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: Hey, what's up? How you being good?
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: How are you not too bad?
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: Not too bad?

  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: Nick?
• 57:38
  Speaker 11: You know what, all these times that I've called, I've
• 57:41
  Speaker 11: always had in mind that I wanted to tell you
• 57:44
  Speaker 11: who who the wrestler? You know, how everybody always mentions
• 57:48
  Speaker 11: the wrestler. I'm like, man, I always forget after I

  Speaker 2: I can tell you.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: I can tell you a story.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: One time. I looked at that and I wanted to
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: watch wrestling all the time, every time it came on.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: And I went to the TV guide if you even
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: know what that is, I went to the TV Guy.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: I saw the show. It was like Saturday Morning. It
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: was called Hogan's Heroes. I was like, well, this must
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: be a Hull Hogan show.
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: And if you know what it is, it certainly not
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: know what you're talking about.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I was so disappointed by that because
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: I just wanted wrestling all the time. So, yeah, you know.
• 58:36
  Speaker 11: The funny thing is the thing didn't happen to me.
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: I actually when I heard Hogan's Heroes, I thought it
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: was about Hogan when I was watching and I'm.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, what is this classic TV show? Yeah, so.
• 58:52
  Speaker 11: I know what I was going to ask you, Nick.
• 58:54
  Speaker 11: I know I'm holding you up because you gotta go.
• 58:57
  Speaker 11: But right now, I know the rookies were where uh
• 59:00
  Speaker 11: in O t A Are the rookies in the vets?
• 59:03
  Speaker 11: Are they working out together now on O t as
• 59:07
  Speaker 11: or is that something that they do separate right now?
• 59:12
  Speaker 11: The veterans, Yeah, they started right didn't they start a Monday? Yeah,
• 59:17
  Speaker 11: so they're all together now. I think what I wanted
• 59:19
  Speaker 11: to know, do you see do you see? I mean,
• 59:21
  Speaker 11: I know you guys, uh, you know, some of you
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: guys get to watch through the windows or whatever here
• 59:26
  Speaker 11: amber sometimes talking and.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: We don't get to watch some practice or you know,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: we don't see anything.
• 59:34
  Speaker 11: We know the rookies are doing against the vets.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, they give us
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: one O T a day to go watch. We watched
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: and see that. I mean yeah, sometimes you can you
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: can kind of see who's out there and and and
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: what number somebody's wearing or that kind of stuff, but
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: really don't get into who's doing what and that kind
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: of stuff.
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: So no, I know, I just wanted to see from
• 59:57
  Speaker 11: your point of view, how how you were seeing this
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 11: class compared to last class. Yeah, here's just a lot
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: of talk about this class.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 11: I like that that that center, well, I know he's
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 11: gonna they're gonna try him out at cuner BB. I
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 11: think that guy that's gonna be my guy. Man, that
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: that guy beby, that's my guy.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: That's what I like.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: Tough, mean and smart.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: So I'm hoping that.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: The rest of the old line uh picks up for
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: that mentality. And I think that's what we'll see the difference.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: You think, I mean, yeah, everything that we've seen out
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: of him. Thanks for the call. Running as always. Yeah,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I think he's gonna be I think he's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be good. He obviously he's got some some faults there.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: That's why I went to the third round. But toughness,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: like you said, tough, mean and smart. I like that,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: and that's he's gonna be.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: I think he'll he'll fit in really really well with
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: this team, and uh, he'll have a spot I would
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: think at some point over the next two years, you know,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: this year, next year, he will he will be you know,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: starting a center guard or you know, back and forth
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: with one or the other. Uh, you know, a smart,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: a smart lineman who's tough like that, and then you
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: know it takes pride in his work, and I love
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's working with Geyton, you know so
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: much these two guys that it's like they both pushing
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: each other to be starters and so that that's that's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: really neat. I think they're gonna be good. All right,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: let's go to Zach in Germany.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how you doing good? How you doing? Man?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I'm good? What's up?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 9: Good?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 16: I got two statements and then a question for you.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 16: So the first one I heard I was trying to
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 16: call last week. You guys were all tied up on
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 16: the lines, which is great for the business, right. Yeah,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 16: A question I have or statement I had was in
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 16: reference to Zeke being the starter or something along those lines.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 16: I agree with you. I see us likely bringing somebody
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 16: in either a roster cut at the end of camp.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 16: There's some really deep rosters out there. If you look
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 16: at Miami or even the Panthers, where they have three
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 16: starting caliber guys on that roster, it's likely somebody along
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 16: the line might get cut. So yeah, that open. Yeah,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: it just I think Zeke's a great pickup and I'm
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 16: glad to see him back. I agree with a lot
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 16: of fans, though you know week one, it's gonna be
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 16: gonna be interesting to see. Actually starts second piece with
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 16: I think we should temper our expectations for some of
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 16: the rookies. You look at Geton, he really reminds me
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 16: of Tyler Smith in a lot of ways. A big
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 16: athletic guy, a little bit raw. But you know, when
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 16: Tyler Smith came out, a lot of people didn't like
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 16: that pick, and now look at him, pro Bowl guard,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 16: could be a tackle, So that's a great pickup. Same
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 16: thing with BB though. You know somebody said last week
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 16: and I had a laugh. He's like, Hey, no worries,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 16: we got the next Zach Martin. Do you have any
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 16: idea how difficult it is to get a Zach Martin?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 16: You know, got ten time pro bowler, et cetera. I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 16: think BB is gonna be a great player, but let's
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 16: not forget third round pick. He fell for a little
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 16: bit of a reason. But I think he's going to
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 16: be a good addition. The question I had though, is
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 16: really is a safety group. How do you see Zimmer's
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 16: scheme with the safeties in comparison to what we had
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 16: last year with Quinn it's Kurt's going to be down
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 16: box or is he going to drop back a little bit?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 16: How do you look at Hooker, et cetera.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I appreciate the call Zach good questions.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Curse is not on the team. He is not a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: He was a free agent that didn't re sign, so
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: he but what they have is they still have Hooker,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: and they have Donald Wilson, and I think Marquise Bell.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: And to answer your question about Zimmer, I think Zimmer's safeties,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I think safeties play safety as opposed to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: safeties playing linebacker. I think you're going to see You're
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: gonna see maybe less speed than you have before, but
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: that's okay, as long as they're you know, stopping the run,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: get up there and make some plays, be sound. You know,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: linebackers go to the next level, they're gonna they're gonna
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: hit a linebacker as opposed to hitting a safety. So
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: I think you'll see. I think the safety position is
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty strong. I mean, I like one I really
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: like one Ye Thomas. I think he has a chance
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: to be a really fine player. Uh So I like him.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: Uh Makuamo I has has shown some flashes here, got
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys that his name is Many Johnson
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: maybe from Nevada. I mean, good tall. You know, we'll see,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: we'll see if he can you know he can play.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: But I just think pretty good depth there at safety.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: And then going back to what you said about Bebe
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean, you know he he he could
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: be a Zach Martin type. But you know, third round pick.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I mean Connor McGovern was a third round pick. Connor
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Williams was the second round pick.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not it's not easy to get some
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: of these guys and and turn third round picks into
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: really great players. I mean, had it happens, but but
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: it's it's hard to do. So, like you said, let's
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: just kind of chill on that. But so far, so
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: good on what they're doing and what they're saying. I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: think they're both him and Geten are gonna be good players.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: All Right, great show. Appreciate that. We got fourteen calls.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: We had some you know a lot of our regulars
• 1:05:15
