- 0:23Speaker 5: It it's Wednesday, April sixteenth. We're almost a week from
- 0:27Speaker 5: the NFL Draft, which will be next Thursday, the twenty fourth.
- 0:31Speaker 5: That's when we can finally figure out what the Cowboys
- 0:34Speaker 5: are gonna do. That's probably the next time we'll see
- 0:36Speaker 5: any movement from this team. I can't imagine any more
- 0:40Speaker 5: transactions between now and then. There's been a few here
- 0:44Speaker 5: and there, nothing major. There'll be some press conferences. There'll
- 0:47Speaker 5: be a press conference today on Tyron Smith retiring officially
- 0:52Speaker 5: from the Cowboys. They'll sign him and move him to
- 0:55Speaker 5: the retired list. He will retire as a member of
- 0:58Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys, which is where.
- 1:00Speaker 1: He should be.
- 1:01Speaker 5: We can talk later in this show about where do
- 1:04Speaker 5: you think he ranks all time among Cowboys greats, Cowboys
- 1:08Speaker 5: great offensive Lineman's he first ballot? Hall of Famer? Does
- 1:11Speaker 5: he get in before Zach Martin? Do they go in together?
- 1:14Speaker 5: All this good stuff? Maybe Ring of Honor together. We'll
- 1:18Speaker 5: see about that. We'll talk about you know, the draft
- 1:24Speaker 5: stuff coming up with Steven Jones will be talking Jerry Jones,
- 1:27Speaker 5: everybody will well, you know, we'll have some some some
- 1:30Speaker 5: things to say related to the draft, maybe even today.
- 1:33Speaker 5: There's going to be a press conference next week as well,
- 1:36Speaker 5: that pre draft press conference where they don't say anything,
- 1:40Speaker 5: you know, they say a lot and nothing at the
- 1:42Speaker 5: same time. So this is the time of year where
- 1:45Speaker 5: there's a lot of smoke screens, stuff that you see
- 1:48Speaker 5: and hear. Really, you know, well, why would they tip.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Their hand on what they're what they're going to do.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Stephen Jones said yesterday, I think on one O five
- 1:55Speaker 5: to three the fan in an interview that can't really
- 1:58Speaker 5: see a scenario where they would trade up. Maybe they
- 2:00Speaker 5: would trade Now, well that means they may be trading up.
- 2:04Speaker 5: Then that's just the way it is. I mean, they're
- 2:06Speaker 5: not going to rule out anything, nor should they. All Right,
- 2:09Speaker 5: eight A eight eight five five two to nine seven
- 2:13Speaker 5: is the number to call. Let's let's go to the
- 2:15Speaker 5: phone lines and get us going here. We're going to
- 2:17Speaker 5: go to Irene in Virginia.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Irene, what's up, Hey, good morning, how are you doing good?
- 2:24Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 2:26Speaker 6: Good?
- 2:26Speaker 7: Eight days away from draft?
- 2:28Speaker 8: That's awesome.
- 2:29Speaker 7: So, first off, congress to Tyron, I do think that
- 2:33Speaker 7: Zach and Tyron going together.
- 2:35Speaker 9: I assume they.
- 2:36Speaker 7: Won't get first ballot Hall of Fame now that they're
- 2:38Speaker 7: making it, you know, very intentionally selective. And I do
- 2:41Speaker 7: think that Super Bowl rings matter in that, even whether
- 2:45Speaker 7: or not they should. But yeah, so that's my thought.
- 2:49Speaker 7: But either way, a great career. I definitely think they're
- 2:51Speaker 7: both worthy of the Hall of Fame, whether it's first
- 2:54Speaker 7: bollid or not. Second author says, as a quick aside,
- 2:58Speaker 7: I wanted to and with permission of Randy's son, I
- 3:02Speaker 7: wanted to give an update about our buddy Randy. He's
- 3:06Speaker 7: actually battling cancer right now. He has surgery coming up
- 3:09Speaker 7: at the end of the month. So if anyone wants
- 3:11Speaker 7: more details on that or want to help Randy out,
- 3:14Speaker 7: hop on Twitter and find the Cowboys storyliner community and Randy,
- 3:18Speaker 7: because I know you're listening. We love you, buddy, all right.
- 3:21Speaker 7: You're in my thoughts in prayers for sure.
- 3:24Speaker 10: I was for football.
- 3:25Speaker 7: Like I said, we're eight days away from trying to
- 3:28Speaker 7: improve the team, and that's exciting. I hope that Milroe
- 3:33Speaker 7: and dart sneak into the top eleven because you know,
- 3:36Speaker 7: they're actually invited to the compan to the draft and
- 3:39Speaker 7: they're attending, so I don't know. I bet they're going
- 3:41Speaker 7: to be closer to like the twenties, but I can hope.
- 3:44Speaker 7: I want the elite players to come down to us,
- 3:47Speaker 7: so we have like multiple first round grades and aside
- 3:51Speaker 7: from unrealistic drops is like grammar hunter. I think the
- 3:54Speaker 7: only two that I wouldn't trade away from are Gent
- 3:58Speaker 7: and McMillan. But and if not, I would like us
- 4:03Speaker 7: to move back a few spots, not many, but a
- 4:06Speaker 7: few spots and pick up maybe Golden or something and
- 4:09Speaker 7: and still get an extra player. So that's all I
- 4:12Speaker 7: got for you, A lot in a little Let's get
- 4:14Speaker 7: love you, Randy, thinking about you.
- 4:16Speaker 5: All right, bye, guys, All right, thank you for the
- 4:19Speaker 5: for the call. Yeah, that's that's a that's a tough
- 4:23Speaker 5: it's tough to throw all that in there to say
- 4:27Speaker 5: this guy's what he's going through and then and then
- 4:29Speaker 5: jumped the draft.
- 4:30Speaker 1: But I mean, I get it.
- 4:32Speaker 5: That's kind of trying to squeeze everything into one call.
- 4:36Speaker 5: I'm not you're gonna touch the draft stuff that that
- 4:38Speaker 5: that's fine. That's an opinion. Yeah, as far as far
- 4:44Speaker 5: as as Randy goes, yeah, he's He reached out to
- 4:48Speaker 5: Chris a couple of weeks ago and and and shared
- 4:52Speaker 5: some of the news of what's happening with him. I
- 4:54Speaker 5: believe he has surgery coming up at the end of
- 4:57Speaker 5: this month. I think it's to choose the I think
- 5:00Speaker 5: it's next Tuesday, and so we'll be we'll be praying
- 5:05Speaker 5: for him. There is a GoFundMe page with like, like
- 5:10Speaker 5: Irene mentioned, I will be sharing that on the Cowboys
- 5:14Speaker 5: Storyline Twitter account here too if you want to donate
- 5:21Speaker 5: to help him and help his family for sure. The
- 5:23Speaker 5: picture that they put on their on their GoFundMe pages
- 5:27Speaker 5: a picture of him at the game wearing a Cowboy
- 5:29Speaker 5: Storyline T shirt which we sent to him. Uh, he
- 5:35Speaker 5: wasn't even on the team, but we sent we sent
- 5:37Speaker 5: one to him. We had some extras and and he
- 5:40Speaker 5: was definitely deserving. And you know the fact that like
- 5:46Speaker 5: you know, he's reaching out to Chris, and he even
- 5:48Speaker 5: says he wants to call after the surgery if he's
- 5:51Speaker 5: feeling good the next day, because knowing it it's a Wednesday,
- 5:56Speaker 5: that's that's special. You know that that that this show
- 5:59Speaker 5: means a lot to him, and and and how the
- 6:02Speaker 5: community of the storyline group, and I a big shout
- 6:05Speaker 5: out to Irene who's a big part of it to
- 6:08Speaker 5: creating this Dylan of course as well. And we've created
- 6:12Speaker 5: a family here which is which is amazing. And so
- 6:14Speaker 5: I know everyone will rally around that and support Randy,
- 6:19Speaker 5: you know as well. So uh, and I know everybody
- 6:22Speaker 5: that might call in, we'll probably say something about it.
- 6:25Speaker 5: So we're all pulling for for you, Randy. And I'm
- 6:27Speaker 5: glad Irene was able to call and kind of kick
- 6:29Speaker 5: us off with that. All right, let's go to our
- 6:32Speaker 5: next caller, Brian in Kansas City.
- 6:34Speaker 11: Good morning, sir, how are you Brian?
- 6:37Speaker 12: Well Man?
- 6:37Speaker 11: That's a I'm not. I don't have any social media,
- 6:40Speaker 11: so I don't follow the storyliners and do the Twitter
- 6:43Speaker 11: and all that. So I was just really sorry to
- 6:45Speaker 11: hear about that the first time I heard about it.
- 6:47Speaker 11: And God love hearing Randy call in. Yeah, and uh,
- 6:52Speaker 11: it's just just such a joy to listen to this
- 6:54Speaker 11: to you. Some people, you know, it's kind of like
- 6:56Speaker 11: having kids, you know, you're they tell you don't have favorites,
- 6:59Speaker 11: but you have, you know, and I listened to the show.
- 7:03Speaker 11: There's some people I'd rather not listen to. Some people
- 7:05Speaker 11: I enjoy listening to.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's funny you.
- 7:09Speaker 13: Say that Randy's kick in the pants.
- 7:11Speaker 14: Man.
- 7:12Speaker 5: That's funny you say that, Brian, Because I have this
- 7:14Speaker 5: little you know, this chat group here with with Chris
- 7:18Speaker 5: and so when he sends you know who's next and
- 7:20Speaker 5: all that, and every time it's Randy, You're right, I
- 7:24Speaker 5: get excited about it, you know. And I think we've
- 7:26Speaker 5: even said I can't take any more calls.
- 7:28Speaker 15: This time.
- 7:28Speaker 5: We got to go like, well, if Randy calls, then
- 7:31Speaker 5: we'll take it. So and that's no offense to anybody else.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Everyone.
- 7:35Speaker 5: I love the calls and all the support. But yeah,
- 7:37Speaker 5: he's he's a character for sure, and I know we're
- 7:39Speaker 5: all pulling from all right, Brian, what do you got man?
- 7:42Speaker 14: After that?
- 7:43Speaker 16: Hey?
- 7:43Speaker 11: So I was moving on to Tyrant Smith's retirement. You know,
- 7:48Speaker 11: I was listening to uh one O five three Tiny
- 7:52Speaker 11: Jim called into one O five three the other day
- 7:54Speaker 11: and did an interview on off It was yesterday or
- 7:56Speaker 11: the day before.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That's David Hellman.
- 7:59Speaker 11: Is that who you're referring to, yes, David Ellman. Yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 11: he says he likes that now. He says he hated
- 8:04Speaker 11: it when it first started. Now now it means that
- 8:09Speaker 11: somebody's been following him a damn long time if they
- 8:11Speaker 11: use that name.
- 8:13Speaker 1: True.
- 8:14Speaker 12: Yeah, so he called in.
- 8:16Speaker 11: And I hadn't thought about it when I first heard
- 8:19Speaker 11: about Tyron's retirement. But of course it's true. You wonder
- 8:22Speaker 11: how difficult they're making it on each other by both
- 8:25Speaker 11: of them retiring at the same time, By having Zach
- 8:30Speaker 11: and Tyron retire at the same time, you know, you
- 8:33Speaker 11: wonder about, you know, when it comes, you know, five
- 8:36Speaker 11: years from now, are they making it harder on each other?
- 8:40Speaker 11: And he made the argument that because Zach had a
- 8:44Speaker 11: much healthier career, he probably would be more likely to
- 8:49Speaker 11: be a first ballot guy, and Tyron might have to
- 8:52Speaker 11: wait because he retired in the same year.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Maybe, I mean, I don't know about all of that.
- 9:00Speaker 5: I mean, I I don't love the process. If I'm
- 9:02Speaker 5: being honest about how the Hall of Fame is right now,
- 9:05Speaker 5: and and and the people that stand up and and
- 9:09Speaker 5: and vote for you know, or or try to, you know,
- 9:13Speaker 5: give their their support for the player just because it's
- 9:16Speaker 5: their hometown. I don't really love the process of it,
- 9:19Speaker 5: and and especially what's happening in Dallas because the guys
- 9:22Speaker 5: that are doing it for the for the Dallas aren't
- 9:25Speaker 5: actually reporting for the team uh anymore. So I don't
- 9:29Speaker 5: love that. And so the whole process is kind of
- 9:31Speaker 5: backwards to me.
- 9:33Speaker 1: And but you know, I.
- 9:35Speaker 11: Look what it's done to Woodie. I mean it's just
- 9:37Speaker 11: you know, left him on the outside for years.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:40Speaker 5: So anyways, well I can I'll talk more about that
- 9:42Speaker 5: here in a second. You have any more points that
- 9:44Speaker 5: you want to make, Yeah, just.
- 9:45Speaker 11: For the for the draft. I don't know if I'll
- 9:47Speaker 11: be able to call in next Wednesday, but I'm just
- 9:49Speaker 11: so excited for the draft. Yeah, I'm personally hoping they
- 9:53Speaker 11: do at least one trade back in the first round,
- 9:56Speaker 11: just you know, not not back into the thirties, but
- 9:59Speaker 11: you know, but straight back and get just you know,
- 10:02Speaker 11: an extra second or an extra third or you know something.
- 10:06Speaker 11: But I'm still hoping for the offensive lineman. At the
- 10:09Speaker 11: last I read, I heard that that Simmons, which is
- 10:12Speaker 11: the offensive tackle for the Buckeyes, that his medicals came
- 10:18Speaker 11: back okay, and his knee is going to be fine,
- 10:21Speaker 11: and man, that would be a guy I would just
- 10:23Speaker 11: love to have. I don't know where you're playing them
- 10:25Speaker 11: or if somebody else has got to move or whatever,
- 10:28Speaker 11: but I would just love to have somebody in the
- 10:31Speaker 11: trenches man. And my second pick would be Grant. So
- 10:33Speaker 11: I'm just just super hyped about the draft, brother, and
- 10:36Speaker 11: can't wait for it. It's good to talk to you
- 10:38Speaker 11: this morning. I'll hang up and listen to what you
- 10:40Speaker 11: have to say about the Hall of.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Fame thing, all right, Brian, appreciate that. Thank you so much.
- 10:44Speaker 5: And you know, going back to what Irene had said
- 10:47Speaker 5: as well about not sure if either one of them
- 10:50Speaker 5: now will be first ballot, but you know, and unless
- 10:55Speaker 5: they're going to come out and say you could only
- 10:58Speaker 5: be a skill player to be a you know, to
- 11:00Speaker 5: be a first ballot, if they're going to say that,
- 11:03Speaker 5: then then say it. Or if you're going to say
- 11:05Speaker 5: you have to be a you have to go to
- 11:09Speaker 5: the Super Bowl or whatever and win the Super Bowl.
- 11:12Speaker 5: But if you're going to say you had to be
- 11:16Speaker 5: the elite of the elite at your position for a
- 11:20Speaker 5: decade or more, you would for a whole decade you
- 11:25Speaker 5: had to be the guy that, no doubt about it,
- 11:28Speaker 5: you were the best player at your position. And if
- 11:31Speaker 5: that is a criteria, and I think it should be
- 11:33Speaker 5: for being in the Hall of Fame, then how in
- 11:36Speaker 5: the world could could Zach Martin ever not be in
- 11:39Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame first ballot? I mean, why not?
- 11:43Speaker 5: He was the best. If you're going to knock him
- 11:46Speaker 5: because guard isn't the sexy pick and all that, well,
- 11:48Speaker 5: then then say that. But if it's a position like
- 11:51Speaker 5: every everyone else, like every other position, why not Zack
- 11:55Speaker 5: Martin as a first ballot Hall of Famer. There's no
- 11:57Speaker 5: doubt about it. There was not a better guard for
- 12:01Speaker 5: ten years. And guards don't have stats.
- 12:04Speaker 1: He does.
- 12:05Speaker 5: He has a stat and it's mind blowing that he
- 12:08Speaker 5: has more All Pros and Pro Bowls than actual holding calls.
- 12:12Speaker 5: That means he was a guy that you could count
- 12:14Speaker 5: on to be elite, you could count on to not
- 12:17Speaker 5: make mistakes. And you know, so, I know this is
- 12:21Speaker 5: a day about Tyron, but and I don't know about
- 12:24Speaker 5: Tyron is the first ballot. I think the injuries definitely
- 12:28Speaker 5: are going to be a factor there. I think he
- 12:33Speaker 5: is one. But you know another guy that's kind of
- 12:36Speaker 5: in that same mix. There too would be Jason Peters.
- 12:39Speaker 5: So there's other tackles that are going to be considered,
- 12:44Speaker 5: and I think they might hurt each other more than
- 12:47Speaker 5: these two cowboys that are on the same line together
- 12:50Speaker 5: because the positions are different. Even though it's O line,
- 12:53Speaker 5: the positions are different, and I think Zach Martin was
- 12:55Speaker 5: absolutely the elite of the elite. I do think Tyron
- 12:58Speaker 5: makes it now as far as Ring of van Or,
- 13:00Speaker 5: I could see them both going in and and at
- 13:02Speaker 5: that point it'll be interesting to see if if, if
- 13:05Speaker 5: Travis Frederick is considered in that as well.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 13:10Speaker 5: That's a little tricky though, because I mean there's other
- 13:13Speaker 5: there's If Travis Frederick, in my opinion, makes it to
- 13:17Speaker 5: the Ring of Honor, then I think I think Nate
- 13:20Speaker 5: Newton's got a huge case, and I think he does anyways,
- 13:23Speaker 5: so that that one's gonna be that'll be tricky there.
- 13:25Speaker 5: All right, Let's let's keep it moving here. Let's go
- 13:27Speaker 5: to Nigel in Arizona.
- 13:31Speaker 17: Hey, how are you? How you doing have to I'm great, yeah, yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 17: As as everyone else. I can't I can't wait for
- 13:42Speaker 17: the traps because I'm so tired of all the guys.
- 13:45Speaker 17: He's ship out there that we're hearing about this.
- 13:48Speaker 15: That all right?
- 13:50Speaker 5: I know, all right, man, sorry, all right, kids are
- 13:56Speaker 5: in school hopefully all.
- 13:57Speaker 17: Right, Yeah, yeah they are anyways.
- 14:02Speaker 16: But getting back to the first round, if we stick.
- 14:04Speaker 17: There, it kind of makes me nervous. I mean, I agree,
- 14:09Speaker 17: maybe going with the unsexy root of an offensive lineman,
- 14:14Speaker 17: just going back to when we were dominant back in
- 14:17Speaker 17: the twenty seventeen, eighteen nineteen.
- 14:21Speaker 16: But my other.
- 14:22Speaker 17: Question is, like to receive a class It's okay, yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 17: but there's no like CD, there's no Chase, there's no
- 14:31Speaker 17: Jefferson or any of that. So grabbing one in the
- 14:34Speaker 17: first round out of specific need kind of scares me.
- 14:38Speaker 17: Same thing at running back. You know, I don't think
- 14:41Speaker 17: Gentry makes it, but Sampton's awesome, but I don't see
- 14:45Speaker 17: that happening. So I'm just curious that you're insight. I
- 14:48Speaker 17: know you've probably said there's a million times and you're
- 14:50Speaker 17: tired of it, but that direction do you think would
- 14:54Speaker 17: we'd be better off getting a stud offensive lineman or
- 14:57Speaker 17: just go out and grab that receive running back?
- 15:03Speaker 5: That's okay, that's all right, It happens, all right, appreciate
- 15:09Speaker 5: that that, you know, I I don't think it's a
- 15:11Speaker 5: popular opinion among Cowboys fans, even Cowboys media that I
- 15:16Speaker 5: talked to.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I think I feel.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Like people want that that running back or that or
- 15:23Speaker 5: the wide receiver, that skilled player. And I wouldn't be
- 15:28Speaker 5: opposed to it. Those those players are fun. But I
- 15:32Speaker 5: still think you need offensive linemen. I mean, you need
- 15:37Speaker 5: guys that you can count on. We're going to honor
- 15:41Speaker 5: a player today and Tyron Smith, who for ten or
- 15:44Speaker 5: eleven years you just knew he was gonna just lock
- 15:47Speaker 5: it down. Yeah, he's gonna get hurt a little bit
- 15:49Speaker 5: here and there, but when he's on the field, he's
- 15:50Speaker 5: gonna be great.
- 15:51Speaker 1: He's gonna be great.
- 15:52Speaker 5: And and he was, he was saying with Zach Martin,
- 15:57Speaker 5: and now you don't have those guys so the way,
- 16:00Speaker 5: guess what, they were first rounders. So I'm okay with
- 16:04Speaker 5: with going back to the well again, that's what makes
- 16:08Speaker 5: them really good. I mean, remember when when Zach Martin
- 16:12Speaker 5: was drafted. Now that's that was three and four years,
- 16:16Speaker 5: four year period they got three offensive linemen in the
- 16:20Speaker 5: first round. And guess what happened in twenty fourteen. Well,
- 16:24Speaker 5: DeMarco Murray, who was a third round running back, went
- 16:27Speaker 5: for eighteen hundred yards Offensive Player of the Year in
- 16:29Speaker 5: the NFL set the Cowboys record. Tony Romo was third
- 16:35Speaker 5: in the MVP voting. That was the whole desk caughtic
- 16:40Speaker 5: year and all that. That was a great football team.
- 16:42Speaker 5: And so getting back to that, saying sounds kind of fun. Now,
- 16:46Speaker 5: these other receivers I see, you know, McMillan, Golden, Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 5: those are those are great and they would be fun
- 16:54Speaker 5: to have, and that that might be the case. But
- 16:57Speaker 5: if it's me and I would I just go with
- 17:00Speaker 5: the offensive line. The defensive line maybe, but offensive line
- 17:06Speaker 5: is I just I just think for the most part,
- 17:08Speaker 5: the way the Cowboys pick, especially high in the first round,
- 17:10Speaker 5: I think that they'll they'll get a guy that's really good.
- 17:12Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going. Keith and Florida is next. Keith.
- 17:16Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
- 17:17Speaker 15: How are you doing doing great?
- 17:19Speaker 2: Man?
- 17:19Speaker 13: And like everybody else, I'm I'm psyched for the draft.
- 17:23Speaker 13: I've got a comment to make and then I've got
- 17:25Speaker 13: that question for you. So my comment is, I'm a
- 17:28Speaker 13: little worried this year because I think we've got a
- 17:32Speaker 13: hole at cornerback and unless they do something for you know,
- 17:37Speaker 13: in the next week when we start the draft, we've
- 17:40Speaker 13: got a hole there that I feel like that almost
- 17:44Speaker 13: like last year, I felt like we had a hole
- 17:46Speaker 13: as on the offensive line, and I kind of feel like,
- 17:48Speaker 13: I know, the Cowboys tried to do a good job
- 17:50Speaker 13: with you know, filling all those holes in free agencies
- 17:52Speaker 13: until we you know, we get to the draft, but
- 17:55Speaker 13: I just feel like that. I hope we're not repeating
- 17:58Speaker 13: last year again. But in the cornerback, what are your thoughts?
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that. That's first of all. I have
- 18:02Speaker 1: to ask, are you first time caller?
- 18:05Speaker 13: No, I'm from Fernandina Beach, Florida. I called you about
- 18:07Speaker 13: two months ago. You love that you loved where I
- 18:09Speaker 13: was at? You from where Florida, Fernandina Beach.
- 18:14Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, all right, I asked
- 18:16Speaker 5: Chris if you're a first time caller.
- 18:18Speaker 1: He didn't respond. I don't think so. I didn't.
- 18:20Speaker 5: I didn't remember that, but now I do remember that.
- 18:23Speaker 5: I remember that that place. Sorry about that, all right?
- 18:25Speaker 12: Problem cool?
- 18:27Speaker 1: You know it's not a sneaky need anymore. It's a need.
- 18:30Speaker 5: It's not like, oh, they need I mean think about
- 18:33Speaker 5: what they lost and what they what they they acquired,
- 18:37Speaker 5: I mean like and also.
- 18:38Speaker 1: With Digs hurt. Yeah, it's it's a it's a need,
- 18:42Speaker 1: no doubt about it. At cornerback with Jordan.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Lewis gone, they picked up the the corner from the Bills,
- 18:50Speaker 5: which I don't know why I always forget his name.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't figured out.
- 18:53Speaker 5: I can remember the guy from nineteen eighty four, but
- 18:55Speaker 5: I can't remember this guy's name.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I know it's a weird spelling. Help me out here, Chris,
- 18:59Speaker 1: what's the guy? His name?
- 19:01Speaker 5: Remember the corner? Do you remember the guy they traded
- 19:05Speaker 5: for from the Bills? I don't remember Khalil something anyways. Uh,
- 19:12Speaker 5: that's right, that's right. But they don't have it. I
- 19:16Speaker 5: mean they don't know who else mcwambe. I don't know
- 19:21Speaker 5: if I love I love that so, uh you know
- 19:24Speaker 5: Kaylen Carson, Yeah, I mean he was he was playing
- 19:28Speaker 5: well early, but yeah, it's a it's a position. And mean,
- 19:32Speaker 5: would you be okay Keith first round.
- 19:34Speaker 13: If it was still I believe I would you know?
- 19:38Speaker 13: And you and you said it best. If if Tremon
- 19:41Speaker 13: Diggs was healthy, I wouldn't feel so bad about it,
- 19:44Speaker 13: but I mean, we really can't expect him until probably
- 19:48Speaker 13: mid season at best. And I just, yeah, I just
- 19:51Speaker 13: I just got this not in my stomach about last year,
- 19:54Speaker 13: and obviously I just don't want that to happen again.
- 19:56Speaker 13: So yeah, I hear you.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Now I hear yet.
- 20:00Speaker 5: And there there might be some moves in the works,
- 20:03Speaker 5: or if there was a Draft day trade where you
- 20:06Speaker 5: could maybe get a corner. I mean I would be
- 20:09Speaker 5: interested in that. Now they've already made the trade to
- 20:11Speaker 5: get Elam. But you know, if only there was a
- 20:15Speaker 5: player you could get that could play corner and receiver. Man,
- 20:19Speaker 5: now that would be fun. You could get that guy,
- 20:22Speaker 5: you know. I mean, I don't know. If you were
- 20:26Speaker 5: a little bit closer, I think, well, you know, if
- 20:30Speaker 5: you wouldn't have won some of those games down the stretch.
- 20:33Speaker 13: I totally agree. I think it's the end of the day, though,
- 20:37Speaker 13: like you said, if maybe there's a draft day trade
- 20:40Speaker 13: or something to where they can grab a veteran corner,
- 20:43Speaker 13: you know, I just feel like we need somebody there.
- 20:46Speaker 13: I just don't want to rely on a rookie, even
- 20:48Speaker 13: the first round rookie. So like, okay, get in there,
- 20:51Speaker 13: because I feel like that's kind of what we did
- 20:52Speaker 13: with Tyrone Guidon.
- 20:53Speaker 15: Yeah, first round rookie.
- 20:55Speaker 13: Guess what Hoyle you're starting. You know, he didn't have
- 20:57Speaker 13: that much experience in college. You know again, I just
- 21:00Speaker 13: I just don't want to go down that same path,
- 21:02Speaker 13: and I hope they don't.
- 21:03Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm with you and that that's really good,
- 21:07Speaker 5: andsightful and Caul I appreciate it, Keith, thanks for the call. Yeah, corner,
- 21:12Speaker 5: I mean, corner is something that they need to definitely
- 21:15Speaker 5: address because you know you're going into it. And I mean,
- 21:20Speaker 5: and still it's still not easy to evaluate what Deron
- 21:23Speaker 5: Bland is. I mean, he's he's a good player, and
- 21:27Speaker 5: he had some great moments, but he's not a shutdown corner.
- 21:32Speaker 5: I don't know if that term even exists anymore. I
- 21:34Speaker 5: really don't, but.
- 21:37Speaker 1: He's not.
- 21:37Speaker 5: I mean, he gets he gets beat, but he takes chances.
- 21:41Speaker 5: I mean that's the thing. You take chances to get picks.
- 21:43Speaker 5: You get beat some too. I don't think teams were
- 21:46Speaker 5: afraid of him, same with Trayvon Diggs. You know when
- 21:49Speaker 5: he had the eleven interceptions. I mean, the teams weren't
- 21:51Speaker 5: necessarily afraid of him. So they threw out him. Well,
- 21:55Speaker 5: he's got good hands for a corner. He's got good
- 21:58Speaker 5: hands just in general. I mean, Diggs was a receiver
- 22:00Speaker 5: in college, and and and Blands. You know that they're
- 22:03Speaker 5: just playmakers, but but they're still you know, they're not
- 22:07Speaker 5: going to be just well shut down half the field
- 22:09Speaker 5: or whatever. So corner is a spot that it wouldn't
- 22:13Speaker 5: hurt my feelings if they drafted that that position at
- 22:16Speaker 5: twelve or moved back a little bit and and and
- 22:18Speaker 5: still picked up a guy. There's there's barn from from Texas,
- 22:22Speaker 5: Will Johnson, Michigan, Amos from Ole, miss I believe we have
- 22:26Speaker 5: a story on him on our website today as a
- 22:28Speaker 5: possible pick that would probably be more second round, but
- 22:31Speaker 5: still cornerback definitely position we got to look at for sure.
- 22:35Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Dylan, how you doing?
- 22:42Speaker 14: Hey?
- 22:43Speaker 18: All right, shout out to us, Ranny. You know our prayers,
- 22:45Speaker 18: buddy hanging there. And now you're a tough dude and
- 22:48Speaker 18: one of one for sure, so we're we're thinking about you, buddy,
- 22:52Speaker 18: for sure. You got to jump over into the draft
- 22:55Speaker 18: stuff here, baby, and called me out last week by name.
- 22:59Speaker 18: So I got a response to my guypig and this
- 23:01Speaker 18: is for you, buddy. I know you're listening, so you
- 23:03Speaker 18: kind of touch on it before Nick that I want
- 23:05Speaker 18: to ask you what was the best part of the
- 23:08Speaker 18: offense in twenty fourteen? Things pretty easy to say, right,
- 23:11Speaker 18: twenty fourteen. Twenty fourteen best part of the.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Offense running the football, wasn't.
- 23:17Speaker 18: It, right? And that was because of the offensive line, right, right,
- 23:20Speaker 18: Same thing about twenty sixteen, right, Probably the same thing
- 23:23Speaker 18: about twenty eighteen. Those were all really good seasons offensively
- 23:26Speaker 18: because you could run the ball really well. You had
- 23:29Speaker 18: Tony Romo in twenty fourteen, probably the best year of
- 23:32Speaker 18: his career. I'd argue maybe two thousand and seven was
- 23:34Speaker 18: up there, but twenty fourteen he was the best I've
- 23:36Speaker 18: ever seen. And it's a shame that he had to
- 23:38Speaker 18: retire shortly after that. But that was prime Romo, all right.
- 23:41Speaker 18: That came in as a rookie. You could say maybe
- 23:44Speaker 18: that was the best season that Dak has had. He's
- 23:46Speaker 18: obviously a better quarterback now than he was, you know,
- 23:48Speaker 18: back then, but the way the offense was constructed, that
- 23:51Speaker 18: was probably the best maybe we've ever seen. That play football.
- 23:55Speaker 18: So my point is people don't consider the offensive line
- 23:59Speaker 18: as a weapon, but I can. I think there a weapon,
- 24:02Speaker 18: or at the very least, they're the grind still that
- 24:04Speaker 18: sharpens all the weapons around them. A great offensive line
- 24:07Speaker 18: elevates the entire offense. And if you can get a
- 24:11Speaker 18: stud like Membo or Will Campbell at twelve, and you
- 24:14Speaker 18: go into the second round and get yourself a nice
- 24:15Speaker 18: running back like if Caleb Johnson or Henderson's they're one
- 24:18Speaker 18: of those guys you've just transformed to this offense. You
- 24:20Speaker 18: take a question mark at right guard out of the
- 24:22Speaker 18: equation with Hoffman, who you know people like and I
- 24:27Speaker 18: guess he's a kind of brawler, but you know he's
- 24:30Speaker 18: got a ceiling. There's a reason why he was found.
- 24:32Speaker 18: He was undrafted guy, right, so there was a reason
- 24:35Speaker 18: for that. And if you can insert a guy who
- 24:37Speaker 18: can instantly have a higher floor and a higher ceiling,
- 24:40Speaker 18: I'll take that all day and transform this offense. Oh
- 24:42Speaker 18: and by the way, if you can run the ball better, well,
- 24:44Speaker 18: you've also now this increased the efficiency of your passing
- 24:47Speaker 18: game as well, because now team's got to commit more
- 24:48Speaker 18: resources to the ground game. So just the thought man
- 24:52Speaker 18: offensive line definitely is a weapon. Even though it's not
- 24:54Speaker 18: your classical consideration as like a weapon, I still think
- 24:58Speaker 18: they are.
- 24:59Speaker 5: I totally agree, one hundred percent agree, and I would
- 25:04Speaker 5: I agree with you that it makes your other guys better.
- 25:08Speaker 5: I don't think having a dynamic wide receiver like a
- 25:12Speaker 5: Jamar Chase in the Cincinnati makes the offensive line better.
- 25:17Speaker 1: I don't believe that.
- 25:18Speaker 5: But I do think a great a great offensive line
- 25:22Speaker 5: can make an Alvin Harper or j Novichik better like.
- 25:27Speaker 1: They were in the nineties and then.
- 25:29Speaker 5: And also you know, the teams that you have you
- 25:31Speaker 5: know now, I mean, I mean, I just think, like
- 25:34Speaker 5: you said, the twenty fourteen you had Dez, But Dez's
- 25:38Speaker 5: best season, I believe was that year, you know, at
- 25:40Speaker 5: least from a touchdown standpoint, So that line makes everybody better.
- 25:45Speaker 5: Even the twenty fifteen when they didn't have a quarterback
- 25:49Speaker 5: and it went four and twelve, they still had a
- 25:52Speaker 5: three offensive line and make to the Pro Bowl. Darren
- 25:55Speaker 5: McFadden came in, got eleven hundred yards. I mean, I
- 25:59Speaker 5: just I feel like you can do a lot of
- 26:01Speaker 5: things with a great offensive line.
- 26:03Speaker 14: So if you have a really, really.
- 26:05Speaker 18: Great offensive line, you don't have to have great skill
- 26:08Speaker 18: position players like de Marpo. Murray was a really good
- 26:10Speaker 18: football player, and he had a great season in twenty fourteen. Right,
- 26:13Speaker 18: you could say the same thing for a lot of
- 26:14Speaker 18: guys across the league. But listen, people are gonna be
- 26:17Speaker 18: disappointed if they take a Lambin at twelve. And I
- 26:19Speaker 18: think that's the foolish, short sighted and I think that's
- 26:22Speaker 18: a really good pick. If they can get a membo
- 26:23Speaker 18: where a can.
- 26:24Speaker 5: It won't be this chair that's disappointed. I could probably
- 26:27Speaker 5: see that. So all right, Dylan, good stuff, Thanks Nick.
- 26:29Speaker 5: All right, let's go one more call before we go
- 26:31Speaker 5: to break. Let's go Anthony. He's in Northtown, Pennsylvania, and
- 26:35Speaker 5: this is a first time caller.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Anthony. What's up, mat? How you doing?
- 26:40Speaker 19: I'm good, Bro, I'm good.
- 26:41Speaker 12: How you doing?
- 26:41Speaker 4: Man?
- 26:42Speaker 1: Hold on, let's pause, let's pause with this league.
- 26:44Speaker 20: Hey, that's what's up?
- 26:47Speaker 14: All right?
- 26:48Speaker 1: Man? How you doing?
- 26:49Speaker 19: I'm good. I'm good. So I haven't been listening, just
- 26:54Speaker 19: was eating and was like, hey, let me try to
- 26:56Speaker 19: call and get in. Got in on my twenty fifth call.
- 26:58Speaker 5: There you go, right, but I appreciate it. Twenty five
- 27:02Speaker 5: calls is still twenty five call.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I know people know and all that stuff.
- 27:05Speaker 15: Exactly.
- 27:07Speaker 19: I work overnight, so I don't really get to listen
- 27:10Speaker 19: to you.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Guys live, so you're to go to bed, right, This
- 27:13Speaker 1: is nice.
- 27:14Speaker 19: Exactly exactly all right. I don't know, I don't know
- 27:18Speaker 19: what the topic is. I was just like topic definite.
- 27:21Speaker 5: Hey, we've been talking Tyron Smith's gonna retire as a
- 27:24Speaker 5: Cowboys today. We talked to that and where he stands
- 27:27Speaker 5: Hall of Fame wise, and also just draft and since
- 27:30Speaker 5: you haven't called them before, what are your what are
- 27:33Speaker 5: your thoughts on the draft and what this team needs
- 27:36Speaker 5: and all that good stuff.
- 27:38Speaker 19: All right? So Tyron Smith, Hey, man, I think it's
- 27:42Speaker 19: pretty dope that, uh, he's retiring with Zach Martin. You
- 27:47Speaker 19: know them three Frederick Martin and him, so him going
- 27:50Speaker 19: out same year a Zach Martin.
- 27:52Speaker 12: I think that's pretty cool.
- 27:53Speaker 19: Definitely all the same, all the same guy.
- 27:56Speaker 12: Definitely.
- 27:56Speaker 19: And for the draft. Like I said, I listened to
- 27:59Speaker 19: y'all man, and uh, I'm not I'm not with the
- 28:03Speaker 19: lineman man. I think we're pretty cool on Lineman, bro,
- 28:06Speaker 19: I really do. I think we're pretty cool.
- 28:07Speaker 6: Alignment.
- 28:07Speaker 19: We haven't really tapped into what we have you know
- 28:10Speaker 19: what I mean? Like I think t J. Batz has
- 28:14Speaker 19: a little something. I think, uh Rock Kaufman has a
- 28:17Speaker 19: little something. Nathan Thomas, we haven't seen. We just got.
- 28:21Speaker 19: I think what was it like two too uh offensive
- 28:25Speaker 19: linemen from out of uh out of house? And who
- 28:31Speaker 19: else am I missing? I know it's uh was it
- 28:34Speaker 19: Simms the the left tackle he got hurt at the
- 28:39Speaker 19: end he started doing good awesome richards. Awesome richards.
- 28:43Speaker 14: Yeah him.
- 28:44Speaker 19: So I think that, uh, we'll be cool if we go,
- 28:48Speaker 19: if we do need to go, I would say later
- 28:50Speaker 19: rounds and then I would do uh something fancy like
- 28:54Speaker 19: like a running back or or a receiver like my
- 28:57Speaker 19: my my dream would be and all on see if
- 29:01Speaker 19: Hunter or the main guys I'm not even with a
- 29:05Speaker 19: received like I'll take a receiver at twelve, I'll be cool.
- 29:08Speaker 19: But if gen T or Hunter falls or I do
- 29:11Speaker 19: Carter falls or they don't fall, and I'm my dream
- 29:15Speaker 19: scenario would be to uh go back, like trade back,
- 29:20Speaker 19: get a fourth and just get like four dogs, four starters.
- 29:23Speaker 19: Man I would do and no, no, no specific order,
- 29:28Speaker 19: but running back, receiver, d tackle in corner.
- 29:36Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I like I like those that I mean asking,
- 29:42Speaker 5: are hoping those guys.
- 29:43Speaker 19: Fall I know they're not, so basically yeah, I know
- 29:47Speaker 19: they not, but I'm saying so basically.
- 29:48Speaker 13: I would have trade back.
- 29:49Speaker 5: Okay, because you said it so serious, like you know,
- 29:53Speaker 5: like Carter, Yeah.
- 29:55Speaker 19: But everything is possible.
- 29:59Speaker 1: It's hot.
- 30:00Speaker 5: You're right, it's possible. Uh it just you just wonder
- 30:03Speaker 5: about likely who got.
- 30:04Speaker 19: Arrested, you know, baby Ochachondra something.
- 30:08Speaker 15: Up on them.
- 30:10Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the thanks for the call. Appreciate that.
- 30:13Speaker 5: That's Anthony north Northtown, Pennsylvania, right.
- 30:17Speaker 19: Right right right in the Harder Foods bro.
- 30:19Speaker 12: I get it every day.
- 30:20Speaker 17: Man.
- 30:20Speaker 1: How close is that? How close is that to Philadelphia?
- 30:24Speaker 19: Probably, like I'm probably like ten minutes, ten minutes from Philadelphia.
- 30:28Speaker 19: But there's a h it used to be famous King
- 30:32Speaker 19: of Pressure mall is I think it's like top five
- 30:34Speaker 19: and the largest malls in the US. So I'm like,
- 30:37Speaker 19: I'm like ten minutes from there, ten minutes from Philadelphia.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Nice.
- 30:41Speaker 5: All right, Well, I appreciate that. Hey, Anthony, thanks for

- 30:51Speaker 5: Philadelphia area. As a Cowboy fan, I have mad props
- 30:55Speaker 5: h to them, because I know the kind of crap
- 30:59Speaker 5: that they have to take constantly when the Eagles aren't good,
- 31:04Speaker 5: and then they actually won the Super Bowl this year,
- 31:06Speaker 5: so that can't be fun at all. But you know,
- 31:10Speaker 5: there's still the Eagles. I'm sorry, and we keep winning
- 31:12Speaker 5: if you want. But they're gonna, you know, and their
- 31:14Speaker 5: fans will definitely still be Eagles fans if you know.
- 31:18Speaker 5: You know, let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline.

- 33:38Speaker 5: Let's go another first time caller here. We got Jerome
- 33:41Speaker 5: in Birmingham, Alabama.
- 33:43Speaker 15: Jerome, Hey, Hey, are you shirting?
- 33:47Speaker 1: How are you doing there?
- 33:50Speaker 15: You go right?
- 33:51Speaker 12: All right?
- 33:51Speaker 5: You know we don't have a lot of callers from Alabama,
- 33:54Speaker 5: you know, I mean there's two pro teams already in
- 33:57Speaker 5: Alabama and in the Crimson Tide in Auburn and so
- 34:01Speaker 5: we don't. We just don't have a lot of fans there.
- 34:03Speaker 1: So but I love it. I'm glad you called them.
- 34:07Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not.
- 34:08Speaker 15: I'm not. I'm not a fan of any of that.
- 34:10Speaker 5: I'm a Cowboy, So you don't even partake in any
- 34:14Speaker 5: of that mess, that Auburn Alabama mess.
- 34:17Speaker 15: I do not, man. I'm a graduate from the University
- 34:19Speaker 15: of Alabama. My boy played at Auburn. But no, I
- 34:22Speaker 15: do not partake in that. I believe blue.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Okay, I love it.
- 34:26Speaker 5: I love it all right, let's go, man, what do
- 34:27Speaker 5: you got tell us about yourself and what you think
- 34:30Speaker 5: about this team.
- 34:32Speaker 15: Well, I just called in Dick because you know, I
- 34:35Speaker 15: listen to you guys. Generally I'm recording because I'm generally working,
- 34:38Speaker 15: but I listen to all the shows. Been listening to
- 34:40Speaker 15: you guys for years. My son is a huge fan.
- 34:44Speaker 15: I grew up a Cowboys fan because my granddad loved
- 34:48Speaker 15: the Cowboys. So I've been following the Cowboys man sins
- 34:51Speaker 15: I could since I can remember sitting out with my
- 34:53Speaker 15: granddaddy checking the games out. I'm such a fan that
- 34:56Speaker 15: my boy. Two of my granddaughters are named after cal Boys.
- 35:00Speaker 15: I got a granddaughter named Dallas Savery and a granddaughter
- 35:04Speaker 15: named Dakota Nice. What do I think about the Cowboys
- 35:08Speaker 15: this year? I don't agree with you, Nick, when it
- 35:10Speaker 15: comes to you know, drafting and offensive lineman. You look
- 35:15Speaker 15: back at the nineties, we didn't have first round talent
- 35:18Speaker 15: on the offensive line. We had three great skill position
- 35:21Speaker 15: players that led us to you know, championships. I think
- 35:25Speaker 15: we need skill position players to go along with back
- 35:27Speaker 15: and CD and you know, you know, to beef up
- 35:32Speaker 15: our defense and let's make a run. That's where I'm at, Nick.
- 35:36Speaker 5: I hear you, all right, jer I appreciate the call.
- 35:39Speaker 5: And you know I say this all the time, and
- 35:43Speaker 5: you know, forgive me for repeating myself, But every time
- 35:47Speaker 5: I hear another scenario like this, it makes me think about,
- 35:50Speaker 5: you know, being a Cowboy fan in Jerome from Alabama
- 35:53Speaker 5: as a perfect example of how you don't choose to
- 35:56Speaker 5: be Cowboy fans. It chooses you. And here's another example
- 35:59Speaker 5: of that. You know, you said his granddad was a
- 36:02Speaker 5: Cowboy fan. He remembered being out there with him. He
- 36:05Speaker 5: just wanted to be hanging out with with granddad. What
- 36:07Speaker 5: are you doing?
- 36:07Speaker 1: Who we watching Cowboys.
- 36:09Speaker 5: That's your team. Well, that's my team, and he passes
- 36:11Speaker 5: it on to his kids. Who's your team, Dad, Well
- 36:13Speaker 5: that's my team. That's why it was with me, and
- 36:17Speaker 5: I love that, and that's why it was well probably
- 36:18Speaker 5: most of these Cowboy fans as well, because lord knows,
- 36:22Speaker 5: the last thirty years hasn't been, you know, a great
- 36:25Speaker 5: time to say, oh, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon.
- 36:27Speaker 5: So if you're a Cowboy fan, it's because somebody probably
- 36:31Speaker 5: older than you, passed it on and here we are.
- 36:36Speaker 5: You make a good point about the nineties. My only
- 36:39Speaker 5: counter to that with the offensive line and didn't have
- 36:42Speaker 5: first rounders then is it's so different. The draft is
- 36:47Speaker 5: so different than it was thirty forty years ago. I mean,
- 36:51Speaker 5: it really is, because teams are so much better now
- 36:56Speaker 5: than they were at evaluating players and all that. So
- 37:00Speaker 5: they had some good linemen, They had good linemen that
- 37:03Speaker 5: they developed, but there was some good linemen that fell
- 37:06Speaker 5: through the cracks a little bit here and there, and
- 37:09Speaker 5: and and the Cowboys were just a little bit better
- 37:11Speaker 5: at scouting than other teams were, and so a little
- 37:15Speaker 5: a little bit further advanced to find the Eric Williams
- 37:19Speaker 5: at a central Ohio state or Larry Allen and pull
- 37:23Speaker 5: the trigger on that to get Larry Allen in the
- 37:25Speaker 5: second round. I think other teams knew about him, but
- 37:28Speaker 5: not to that to the point that they did. And
- 37:31Speaker 5: you know, Nate Newton developed, Mark Tuine developed, So it's
- 37:34Speaker 5: not you know it was. That was all kind of
- 37:37Speaker 5: lightning in a bottle there. But go back and look
- 37:41Speaker 5: at I mean, I don't know, are there third, fourth round,
- 37:46Speaker 5: fifth round linemen that are developing a lot into into starters.
- 37:50Speaker 5: I mean, you know the Cowboys. I just think of
- 37:53Speaker 5: the last decade or or so, and when they had
- 37:57Speaker 5: really good players, they were dragt I've seen these linemen
- 38:00Speaker 5: in the first round. So I just think you have
- 38:03Speaker 5: a you have a chance to you're not really going
- 38:06Speaker 5: to miss. And the jury's out on Tyler Geid and
- 38:09Speaker 5: that was a reach pick and they knew that they
- 38:12Speaker 5: needed him to develop. But you draft the guy at twelve,
- 38:15Speaker 5: he's not going to develop. He's going to come in
- 38:17Speaker 5: and play. And I just think that's that would be
- 38:19Speaker 5: a great, great pick. But hey, I'm not going to
- 38:21Speaker 5: sit there and argue if it's if it's McMillan, if
- 38:25Speaker 5: it's you know, if it's Golden, I'd be fine with that.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Running back gent Falls.
- 38:34Speaker 5: I don't think he will, but you know, I bet
- 38:35Speaker 5: I'm not moving up for anybody unless unless they're just
- 38:40Speaker 5: gonna go get Travis Hunter than I I don't. And
- 38:43Speaker 5: that would just be so much fun that whatever it
- 38:46Speaker 5: would take to trade and do all that, you would
- 38:49Speaker 5: just say, I'll deal with that later. But if they
- 38:51Speaker 5: did that, I think I think we would be hearing
- 38:54Speaker 5: that all in a phrase again, because that's what it
- 38:56Speaker 5: would have to take probably to get it all right,
- 38:58Speaker 5: Let's keep it going, Gavin and Glahoma City is next, Galvin,
- 39:01Speaker 5: what's up?
- 39:02Speaker 15: What's up man?
- 39:03Speaker 12: How's it gone? I'm pretty good man. It's a beautiful
- 39:07Speaker 12: to day. So first I want to talk about Yren Smith.
- 39:12Speaker 12: I usually don't come in here and talk about players
- 39:14Speaker 12: that are retiring and stuff like that. I like to
- 39:16Speaker 12: keep it moving toward the future. But he was a
- 39:18Speaker 12: special player to me because I'm very young, so I
- 39:22Speaker 12: was a little kid when he got drafted. Tyren Smith
- 39:25Speaker 12: was my favorite player other than DA's brand. So when
- 39:29Speaker 12: I played little league football and they asked me what
- 39:31Speaker 12: number when I was bigger than everybody, just imagine probably
- 39:34Speaker 12: like Josh Baugh in high school. That was me when
- 39:37Speaker 12: I was like ten or eleven. So they let me
- 39:40Speaker 12: get big number seventy seven man. Shout out to Tyron Smith.
- 39:43Speaker 12: I think he belongs, bring all honor, Hall of fame,
- 39:46Speaker 12: all of that. When Tyron Smith and his prime got
- 39:49Speaker 12: his hands on somebody, it was a wrap over. When
- 39:52Speaker 12: he gets the fans on you so over. That's what
- 39:54Speaker 12: I remember about Yren Smith. Yeah, all right, So what
- 39:57Speaker 12: I wanted to talk about as far as the president,
- 40:00Speaker 12: uh what y'all was talking about with the old line
- 40:02Speaker 12: and stuff. I'm I'm team Let's let's get some skill players.
- 40:06Speaker 12: I'm gonna tell you why. I First of all, I'm
- 40:11Speaker 12: down this heel alone if I have to. I believe
- 40:14Speaker 12: I think Guiden's gonna delete this year. He was wrong,
- 40:17Speaker 12: and you could argue he might have been a reach
- 40:19Speaker 12: at the time we needed him that needed. I think
- 40:25Speaker 12: when this gets their hands on, Guididan is somewhere working
- 40:28Speaker 12: right now. I truly believe that. With the kid attitude,
- 40:32Speaker 12: I think he's a hard worker. I think he's gonna
- 40:34Speaker 12: get it right. As far as Guard goes, I have confidence,
- 40:40Speaker 12: you know, mister bad and uh what's his name, brock Hoffman,
- 40:46Speaker 12: and you got the new guys. I think let those
- 40:48Speaker 12: guys compete for that position and let the staff draw
- 40:52Speaker 12: some better plays, and let's see what we can get
- 40:54Speaker 12: going with the old line. I think we do have
- 40:55Speaker 12: some good pieces in there. Still would be my biggest question, honestly,
- 41:00Speaker 12: even over Guiden. I know he played better towards the
- 41:03Speaker 12: second half of the season, but it seems like in
- 41:05Speaker 12: big moments when we need Steal to step up, he
- 41:07Speaker 12: just doesn't do it. I think Austin Richards is nice.
- 41:12Speaker 12: I like the way he's playing, too. I just think
- 41:14Speaker 12: we have enough pieces to play around with the old line.
- 41:17Speaker 12: When you have Ceedee, Lamb and Dak, that's that's just
- 41:23Speaker 12: not enough in today's league as far as weapons go.
- 41:26Speaker 12: Who else is scaring any of these teams? That would
- 41:29Speaker 12: be my argument to that. Yes, you can draft the
- 41:33Speaker 12: great old line and run the ball all day, but
- 41:35Speaker 12: when we get to the playoffs, we need We're gonna
- 41:38Speaker 12: need some weapons if we get to the playoffs, and
- 41:40Speaker 12: I just don't think we have enough weapons to get
- 41:43Speaker 12: that done. That would be my argument to that. I know,
- 41:47Speaker 12: y'all team O line, and I do respect that I
- 41:49Speaker 12: don't think there's a wrong opinion here, you know what
- 41:51Speaker 12: I mean, it's just how do you think, Well, what
- 41:55Speaker 12: do you think would help to team the most. I
- 41:57Speaker 12: would say in the first round running back or receive
- 42:00Speaker 12: that would be my big appreciate you for taking my call,
- 42:03Speaker 12: and I'd like to hear your thoughts all right.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Thanks, keV.
- 42:06Speaker 5: I feel like my thoughts on it. I've you know,
- 42:08Speaker 5: it's kind of beating a dead horse here because I've
- 42:11Speaker 5: said it. It just comes down to this, because you know,
- 42:14Speaker 5: you can't just have elite players at every position, So
- 42:17Speaker 5: it just comes down to it's like a chicken and
- 42:22Speaker 5: egg theory. Really, I mean, do you think having more
- 42:26Speaker 5: skill players is what's needed with a good offensive line?
- 42:32Speaker 5: Because everyone keeps talking about these all these pieces these Wow,
- 42:36Speaker 5: I like Hoffman, I like Bass, and I think Guiden's
- 42:39Speaker 5: gonna be good, and you know, all this stuff, it's
- 42:41Speaker 5: like okay, but they're all just kind of okay to
- 42:46Speaker 5: good and you hope BB takes that next step there.
- 42:49Speaker 5: But you know, Tyler Smith is there and he's solid.
- 42:53Speaker 5: I mean, I sawid he's great. I mean, that's a
- 42:55Speaker 5: great piece that you have. But you know, you just
- 42:59Speaker 5: don't have a lot that you can count on, and
- 43:01Speaker 5: yet there's a lot of little pieces here. So if
- 43:03Speaker 5: you don't draft an offensive lineman in the first or
- 43:06Speaker 5: second round, then you're gonna get one, I'm sure, third round,
- 43:11Speaker 5: fourth if they can get back into the fourth, which
- 43:14Speaker 5: they probably will, or fifth, you know, so you've.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Got some chances.
- 43:18Speaker 5: But you draft the alignment later like that, then he's
- 43:21Speaker 5: kind of just in the mix with everybody else that
- 43:23Speaker 5: you have with your TJ. Bass and you're awesome Richards
- 43:26Speaker 5: and all that stuff. Well, let's goes all that. So
- 43:30Speaker 5: I'm just thinking, me, I would like to get an
- 43:32Speaker 5: elite player that I don't have to worry about, and
- 43:34Speaker 5: for so long you've had that on your offensive line,
- 43:38Speaker 5: but you really don't have that anymore. So that's kind
- 43:40Speaker 5: of what I would look at. And then I just
- 43:43Speaker 5: think a third round receiver can be good with with
- 43:48Speaker 5: the pieces around him.
- 43:51Speaker 1: That's just my take. But I don't know.
- 43:54Speaker 5: I don't know what they're gonna do. I mean, that's
- 43:56Speaker 5: what's the beauty of being number twelve. You you can
- 43:59Speaker 5: just play the board and see see how it goes.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Somebody had called in earlier. I can't remember which caller.
- 44:06Speaker 1: It was.
- 44:08Speaker 5: Maybe like thirty minutes ago that was talking about there's
- 44:11Speaker 5: no there's no CD in this draft, and there's no
- 44:14Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson in this draft. Well, I think we all
- 44:18Speaker 5: know that if if, if people could, you know, look
- 44:22Speaker 5: at the future and see what CD was going to
- 44:24Speaker 5: do and what Justin Jefferson was going to do and
- 44:27Speaker 5: basically reset the receiver market. They're not going to be
- 44:31Speaker 5: picked at seventeenth and twentieth and whatever those those guys
- 44:35Speaker 5: where they fell for whatever the reason.
- 44:38Speaker 1: And so.
- 44:41Speaker 5: That my point is is in that draft, there was
- 44:44Speaker 5: no CD in Justin Jefferson and whoever you want to
- 44:47Speaker 5: compare them to. You know, at that time, it's like,
- 44:49Speaker 5: well there's no Odell Beckham in this draft. That's probably
- 44:52Speaker 5: what people were saying. Well, Justin Jefferson was and so
- 44:56Speaker 5: was CD, CD Lamp and Odell Beckham as well, what
- 45:00Speaker 5: twelve or so in that twenty fourteen draft, and if
- 45:03Speaker 5: everyone knew what he was going to do, he would
- 45:05Speaker 5: have gone a little higher too. So we sometimes receivers
- 45:08Speaker 5: they you don't know, you know, because it's not just them.
- 45:12Speaker 5: You gotta have the quarterback, you gotta have the line.
- 45:14Speaker 5: They can't just do it by themselves. And so sometimes
- 45:17Speaker 5: some receivers are ready to develop, some some aren't. All right,
- 45:20Speaker 5: let's go to Matthew in Oklahoma.
- 45:24Speaker 1: Hello, what's up, man?
- 45:26Speaker 14: Oh?
- 45:26Speaker 10: Not much, Just figure i'd give my my little thoughts
- 45:30Speaker 10: on the draft. I'm a first time caller. We go,
- 45:35Speaker 10: and I agree with you on the offensive line. My
- 45:39Speaker 10: other thing is is we've had really good offensive lines
- 45:41Speaker 10: and not at the same point in time, we haven't
- 45:44Speaker 10: had the really good defensive line.
- 45:46Speaker 5: Okay, so are you thinking defensive line?
- 45:50Speaker 10: I'm thinking defensive line all right now, I mean unless
- 45:55Speaker 10: members there at twelve, I'd want to move back, maybe
- 45:58Speaker 10: pick up a second, second round, a third round pick,
- 46:01Speaker 10: and I double dip on the defensive line at one.
- 46:04Speaker 10: Take take Harmon out of Oregon and that kid out
- 46:09Speaker 10: of Texas.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Oh a big, big guy, big guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 46:14Speaker 1: I know you're talking about Alfred Collins.
- 46:16Speaker 10: Alfred Collins yep.
- 46:17Speaker 1: And then you know six thirty.
- 46:20Speaker 10: Two, yeah yeah, I mean, get a big run stuffer
- 46:24Speaker 10: up in there, you know. And I'd really like to
- 46:27Speaker 10: see the kid from Ohio State, the running back Judkins,
- 46:31Speaker 10: maybe in the third that'd be awesome.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Now, do you like Judkins? More than Henderson.
- 46:36Speaker 10: No, but Henderson's not going to be there.
- 46:38Speaker 1: So you said third round, Okay, Henderson's more of a
- 46:40Speaker 1: second rounder.
- 46:41Speaker 10: Yeah, well I don't think he's making it out of
- 46:43Speaker 10: the first round. Nice, I don't think he's gonna make
- 46:47Speaker 10: it out of the first round.
- 46:48Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it all just depends with with the
- 46:52Speaker 5: run on running backs. You know, where does Hampton go?
- 46:56Speaker 5: And then and then does that trigger some things where
- 46:58Speaker 5: everyone starts getting worried about it?
- 47:00Speaker 10: But yeah, yeah, I've seen I've seen Hampton the ties
- 47:03Speaker 10: like New Orleans I think it was, or Chicago. Yeah,
- 47:07Speaker 10: I can and it's just like, man, I mean, it
- 47:11Speaker 10: could happen, but I've seen stranger things happen in the draft.
- 47:14Speaker 5: Yeah, it won't surprise me. If the Cowboys don't have
- 47:17Speaker 5: a running back until Saturday, which means first, second, third round,
- 47:21Speaker 5: not drafting a running back, that won't surprise me.
- 47:24Speaker 10: So so you're thinking fifth round.
- 47:26Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, it.
- 47:28Speaker 10: Was so like a Blue out of Texas or I
- 47:32Speaker 10: can't think of that other kid they were talking about,
- 47:34Speaker 10: or maybe a James out of Oregon.
- 47:36Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe a Rocket Sanders from Rocket Sanders yep, which
- 47:40Speaker 5: I hate to say from South Carolina, because he's not,
- 47:43Speaker 5: but whatever. You know, he's transferred portal guys.
- 47:46Speaker 16: You know, yeah, he was.
- 47:48Speaker 5: He was great at Arkansas, really really fast, I mean
- 47:52Speaker 5: obviously if his name's Rocket, but and a big guy too.
- 47:55Speaker 5: But you know, somebody probably somebody like that. But I'm
- 47:58Speaker 5: not saying that they wouldn't it just not nothing's really
- 48:02Speaker 5: gonna surprise me, I don't.
- 48:03Speaker 1: I mean, I say that, then I'll be on this.
- 48:05Speaker 1: We'll do a show Friday, and I'm.
- 48:06Speaker 12: Like, I'm shocked.
- 48:07Speaker 5: But I mean, I don't know. There's just so many options.
- 48:10Speaker 5: That's what makes it fun. I mean twelve, Yeah, twelve's
- 48:12Speaker 5: a pretty fun spot, you know.
- 48:15Speaker 10: And if he listened to Brian brought us, it sounds
- 48:17Speaker 10: like the front office really likes Matthew Golden out of Texas.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Yep, I mean, what's not to like?
- 48:23Speaker 10: I mean, I mean, I mean, you got that what
- 48:25Speaker 10: fot nine speed? That's uh, that's that'd be hard to
- 48:28Speaker 10: pass up on.
- 48:29Speaker 5: But yes, yeah, I've always said this, I've always said
- 48:34Speaker 5: I want a receiver who didn't play spring football. He
- 48:38Speaker 5: wasn't on the spring football team because he was running track.
- 48:42Speaker 5: That's the guy that I want like, oh, well, he's
- 48:45Speaker 5: back and forth little bit. He played receiver, but he's
- 48:48Speaker 5: but he's running the four by one hundred. That's the
- 48:50Speaker 5: guy that I want to be on the team. And
- 48:52Speaker 5: we haven't really ever seen that guy in a long
- 48:55Speaker 5: long time. Golden would be it. Golden would be the guy.
- 48:58Speaker 5: But you know, and I'm I'm not trying to talk
- 49:01Speaker 5: out of both sides of my mouth. I mean, that's
- 49:02Speaker 5: what the draft is. I'd be fine with the lineman,
- 49:05Speaker 5: but trust me, if they draft a guy like McMillan,
- 49:08Speaker 5: are definitely golden And I'm like, okay, let's have some.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Fun, you know.
- 49:13Speaker 2: I mean.
- 49:15Speaker 10: Luca, I think his name out of Ohio.
- 49:18Speaker 14: A lot of people are high on him too.
- 49:20Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know how how much the Cowboys are
- 49:24Speaker 10: a thirty visit.
- 49:25Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, and and thirty visits, like there's something
- 49:30Speaker 5: to that if you go back and look at some
- 49:32Speaker 5: of the guys that they brought in. Coming in for
- 49:34Speaker 5: a thirty visit definitely helps. That's a that's a good sign.
- 49:37Speaker 5: That doesn't always mean though, that they love him. It
- 49:41Speaker 5: sometimes and I've heard this, sometimes it's it's hey, did
- 49:45Speaker 5: we talk to him at the Senior Bowl? Like, No,
- 49:47Speaker 5: he wasn't there. What about the combine, Well, he really wasn't.
- 49:50Speaker 1: We didn't get a good look.
- 49:51Speaker 5: Okay, let's bring him in for a thirty visit, just
- 49:53Speaker 5: so we could make sure that doesn't necessarily mean that
- 49:56Speaker 5: they love him. They're just let's make sure we haven't
- 49:59Speaker 5: really done as our homework as much as we want.
- 50:01Speaker 5: Let's bring him in for a thirty visit and put
- 50:03Speaker 5: him here on the board and let him see what
- 50:04Speaker 5: he can do. All right, Well, anything else, Matthew.
- 50:09Speaker 10: No, that's it. I just figured out Colin's give my
- 50:11Speaker 10: two cents and love love it.
- 50:15Speaker 5: Well, good to hear from you for our first time caller,
- 50:18Speaker 5: Matthew and Oklahoma. That's back to back calls from Oklahoma.
- 50:20Speaker 5: Are we gonna make it three in a row?
- 50:22Speaker 4: No?
- 50:23Speaker 1: Sebastian Savannah, Georgia, what's up, Sebastian.
- 50:26Speaker 2: I'm doing well, sir. How about yourself?
- 50:27Speaker 1: Good are you doing today? And what are you thinking?
- 50:31Speaker 1: What are you thinking? For the draft?
- 50:32Speaker 2: Listen, doing just fine for the draft? First and foremost,
- 50:35Speaker 2: we cannot get this first pick wrong, So I'm leaning
- 50:38Speaker 2: towards cornerback, right. But there's a trend that's happening in
- 50:42Speaker 2: the NFL and in the draft right now, with people
- 50:44Speaker 2: not showing up to the combine and not doing it
- 50:47Speaker 2: exercises of pro days, I'm not a fan of that.
- 50:49Speaker 2: They need to start holding these players accountable. So there
- 50:52Speaker 2: is Will Johnson. He's the cornerback from Michigan, and with
- 50:54Speaker 2: our recent trend in history with Michigan players, I might
- 50:58Speaker 2: pass a little Johnson. He's supposed to the number two
- 51:00Speaker 2: cornerback in the draft. Be kind of Travis Hunter, but
- 51:02Speaker 2: he didn't run. So are you trying to tell me
- 51:05Speaker 2: that you're hurt or are you hiding the fact that
- 51:07Speaker 2: you don't have speed? And in our division we got
- 51:09Speaker 2: scary Terry Malik neighbors, Devonte Smith and AJ Brown. I
- 51:14Speaker 2: don't need a hurt cornerback, and I don't need a
- 51:15Speaker 2: guy who's not fast, So I might pass on that
- 51:18Speaker 2: and go for the third guy. I think Johnny Baron
- 51:20Speaker 2: is his name or whatever the case is. Yeah, And
- 51:23Speaker 2: then so my first pick would be if it was
- 51:25Speaker 2: me picking, it'd be corner. It addressed the need and
- 51:28Speaker 2: we'd be in position to get one of the top
- 51:30Speaker 2: ones in the drafts if that were the case at
- 51:31Speaker 2: number twelve without having.
- 51:32Speaker 19: A slide back.
- 51:33Speaker 2: In the event that we do move back, all bets
- 51:36Speaker 2: around the table from that point on. Yeah, And there's
- 51:38Speaker 2: also an edge rusher that I'm interested in, because we're
- 51:41Speaker 2: gonna need somebody to go on the other side of
- 51:43Speaker 2: Micah Parsons now that Lawrence is gone. Not just somebody
- 51:46Speaker 2: who can hold up against the run, but a nice
- 51:48Speaker 2: edge rusher with a decent run would be good. That's
- 51:51Speaker 2: it for me, man. You guys have a great day.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Can't wait for the drafts and happy ease for everybody.
- 51:55Speaker 5: All right, good stuff, Thank you, Sebastian. I'm not sure
- 51:59Speaker 5: that you know who knows what the cornerback rankings are.
- 52:02Speaker 5: I'm not sure that Baron's not rated higher than Will
- 52:07Speaker 5: Johnson from Michigan.
- 52:09Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys like Baron. I mean from Okay.
- 52:14Speaker 5: Hold on, when you say the Cowboys like him, I
- 52:18Speaker 5: mean everybody talks to people.
- 52:20Speaker 1: Okay, people talk.
- 52:21Speaker 5: There's thirty scouts over there and coaches and front office
- 52:25Speaker 5: guys and whatever, and so you talk to someone like
- 52:28Speaker 5: you know, you could talk to one person in the
- 52:29Speaker 5: hallway and they're like, I really like Baron. He's got
- 52:32Speaker 5: this and this, this and hips and I talked to him,
- 52:34Speaker 5: he's great, he's ready to come in and start, and
- 52:36Speaker 5: then you go back to your desk. In your mind
- 52:38Speaker 5: you're like the cowboys like Baron, well okay, and that
- 52:41Speaker 5: this guy does, that doesn't mean when he goes into
- 52:44Speaker 5: the room, six other guys are like nah, nah, you
- 52:47Speaker 5: know he doesn't agree. But everyone just kind of looks
- 52:49Speaker 5: at it differently. So it's not like we're people are
- 52:53Speaker 5: talking myself or Brian brought us whoever.
- 52:56Speaker 1: You're talking to one guy.
- 52:57Speaker 5: Two guys, three guys, and maybe that is the opinion
- 53:02Speaker 5: of the consensus of the room, but that doesn't necessarily
- 53:04Speaker 5: mean that you know so. And you guys that listen
- 53:07Speaker 5: to the Draft show, they argue about players all the time.
- 53:11Speaker 5: There's guys like I really like him, I don't like
- 53:13Speaker 5: him as much. I don't like him as much as
- 53:15Speaker 5: they like him. So it's you know, it's all you know,
- 53:18Speaker 5: the opinion of what you see in those games that
- 53:21Speaker 5: you're watching. You know, you're not most of these guys
- 53:24Speaker 5: that are studying film, they're not watching forty forty games
- 53:27Speaker 5: that they play. They're watching like three or four. So
- 53:30Speaker 5: hope it's a good one. You know, that kind of
- 53:32Speaker 5: stuff all right, let's go to Carolina. He is driving
- 53:38Speaker 5: right now in Shreveport, Louisiana, Carolina.
- 53:41Speaker 1: What's up?
- 53:42Speaker 12: What's up?
- 53:42Speaker 6: Man? This one was for my guy Randy Man.
- 53:44Speaker 12: Get well soon.
- 53:46Speaker 1: Nice? Definitely all right? How you doing, man?
- 53:50Speaker 6: I got it. I had to shot out my guy,
- 53:52Speaker 6: you know, the total trucker, So we got together.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
- 53:57Speaker 6: Well outside of that, I just want to uh second
- 54:02Speaker 6: dealer's motion from earlier. I definitely believe that if we
- 54:07Speaker 6: have an offensive line that is good or great, that
- 54:10Speaker 6: does consider as a weapon. Because if you got a
- 54:15Speaker 6: good offense line, you got more times on the ball,
- 54:18Speaker 6: you got more holes to be over. And if you
- 54:21Speaker 6: got that, I mean, that's that's what would I say,
- 54:27Speaker 6: that's the way for success, a formula for success. So
- 54:31Speaker 6: I'm definitely okay with us getting the old lineman in
- 54:34Speaker 6: the in the first. But what I was thinking of is,
- 54:38Speaker 6: if we do get an old lineman in the first,
- 54:40Speaker 6: there's still guys out there in phraseency far as receivers goes,
- 54:43Speaker 6: and the receiver classes are not that heavy or you know,
- 54:46Speaker 6: top top tier talent, So why not just you know,
- 54:49Speaker 6: get an all lineman in the first, Like you said
- 54:52Speaker 6: on draft, they make us, you know, a trade like
- 54:55Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett or Keenan Allen. I mean, I know everybody
- 54:59Speaker 6: that's not the most glaring names, but at least we've
- 55:01Speaker 6: got to approven receiver. I mean, there's always another draft.
- 55:05Speaker 6: So we get someone to hold it down for a
- 55:06Speaker 6: year or two, we can you know, go back into
- 55:09Speaker 6: the draft years to come and get that you know,
- 55:11Speaker 6: that second receiver, get young guy to come in and
- 55:14Speaker 6: make a difference. But if you get we're talking better
- 55:16Speaker 6: improven talent. I mean there's still guys out there. Yeah,
- 55:21Speaker 6: would that be something that you you know, would think, Hey,
- 55:24Speaker 6: I could do that.
- 55:25Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I think after the draft, you're gonna
- 55:29Speaker 5: have some some free agents that'll that will sign with
- 55:31Speaker 5: other teams. There's some just two good of players out
- 55:34Speaker 5: there that aren't aren't on teams right now. So uh yeah,
- 55:38Speaker 5: right now, everyone wants to wait and see what happens
- 55:40Speaker 5: with the draft of what they have, what they need,
- 55:42Speaker 5: uh and then there'll be another wave of free agency.
- 55:45Speaker 5: So yeah, that that certainly could happen. I just think
- 55:49Speaker 5: there's less potential for a bust in taking an offensive
- 55:54Speaker 5: lineman that and yeah, you can throw names all you want,
- 55:57Speaker 5: But I just I just believe that if you take
- 56:00Speaker 5: an offensive lineman at that area, he'll be ready to
- 56:03Speaker 5: come right in and play. I don't know the same
- 56:05Speaker 5: about a receiver. I think running back could, but I
- 56:10Speaker 5: just I just think that you have better chances for
- 56:13Speaker 5: elite plug and play players with an offensive lineman.
- 56:18Speaker 6: And I whole hardly agree because we've seen it at
- 56:21Speaker 6: the beginning of last year. For the beginning of the season.
- 56:24Speaker 6: You know, the first games day played, he was out there,
- 56:26Speaker 6: he was running for his life. Instead of having five seconds,
- 56:30Speaker 6: he had like two and a half. So you give
- 56:33Speaker 6: that guy some more time back there, let the play develop,
- 56:36Speaker 6: and then, like I said, what's the sist, it only
- 56:39Speaker 6: takes a few seconds to get open if you're you know,
- 56:41Speaker 6: you're a decent receiver slot whatever the case may be,
- 56:44Speaker 6: even just for the running back coming out the back
- 56:46Speaker 6: out the.
- 56:46Speaker 12: Chipoff, you know what I mean?
- 56:49Speaker 5: Well, Caroline, I have a question for you because you're
- 56:53Speaker 5: when you always call, you're always on the road, man,
- 56:55Speaker 5: you're always rolling.
- 56:57Speaker 1: When when are you playing Fortnite? I mean when.
- 57:01Speaker 5: I just I just heard that information and I heard
- 57:04Speaker 5: that you got your win, you get a victory.
- 57:05Speaker 6: Royal yes, I did, man, old solo, Man, I just
- 57:09Speaker 6: want to get it all man.
- 57:10Speaker 5: Definitely, definitely hard to get that on. I think I've
- 57:13Speaker 5: had three ever, and and two of them were assisted
- 57:16Speaker 5: because Chris jumped in on my game and told me, hey,
- 57:18Speaker 5: look for him, look for him anyways, Hey.
- 57:21Speaker 1: For that, give herself a Hong kong on that one. Man,
- 57:25Speaker 1: there you go. Here we go, man, there we go.
- 57:29Speaker 6: All right. Yeah, my daughter said, oh you got first. Okay,
- 57:35Speaker 6: now I can finally play with you.
- 57:36Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you got to that level. All right, good stuff,

- 59:44Speaker 5: That should be fun, all right, let's keep it going here.
- 59:48Speaker 5: We got Lewis in Langston, Oklahoma. That's how you say it, right,
- 59:51Speaker 5: Lewis and Langston?
- 59:53Speaker 20: Yes, sir, yes, sir?
- 59:54Speaker 5: How are you?
- 59:56Speaker 23: How much?
- 59:56Speaker 8: I was trying to make it a three team for you,
- 59:58Speaker 8: but I couldn't get in town for you.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on in Oklahoma? I mean you, guys?
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I mean, guys?
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: Are it's Oklahoma and Florida? Good stuff today, guys? But yeah,
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: what's up with you? And what are you thinking?
- 1:00:12Speaker 14: Not much?
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: Man?
- 1:00:13Speaker 23: I heard this question on.
- 1:00:16Speaker 8: The Draft Sholder the other day, and I thought it
- 1:00:18Speaker 8: would be good to get your opinion because I was
- 1:00:19Speaker 8: thinking about it. So they had We know that we
- 1:00:23Speaker 8: have our most important players right now that we want
- 1:00:25Speaker 8: to draft as a receiver, a running back, a corner,
- 1:00:28Speaker 8: and a d tackle a number one. If you had
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: to take the first three picks, how would you rank
- 1:00:38Speaker 8: them in order of most importance to not important? Because
- 1:00:42Speaker 8: somebody's getting eliminated? So who do you eliminate? Because if
- 1:00:45Speaker 8: it was me, I would do in no particular order
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: running back, receiver, d tackle, and the corner would have
- 1:00:51Speaker 8: to be the odd man out for me because I
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: think maybe we may be able to get one the
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: freegency or get somebody in the later round.
- 1:00:57Speaker 10: Yeah, So like that.
- 1:01:00Speaker 8: I just was listening today and I thought it would
- 1:01:02Speaker 8: be a good question to see what you would rank
- 1:01:04Speaker 8: them and how you who would get eliminated or maybe
- 1:01:07Speaker 8: you know, pick up later on or get in the
- 1:01:09Speaker 8: later round some light things.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thank you.
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: That's that's a good question for me, just as thinking
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: that you go through the draft with three picks in
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: the first two rounds or first three rounds. Let's say
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: that there's not a trade back at all. That so
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: you got you got your guy at twelve, and you
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: took one in the second and third round. If I'm
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: heading into Saturday, I would feel good, you know, obviously
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: if you know they picked the guys that they like.
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: But if it's offensive tackle, wide receiver, in corner, those
- 1:01:46Speaker 5: are the three for me that I would I guess
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: I'm eliminating running back, in defensive tackle, I won an
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: offensive tackle. I've said it several times already. I'll take
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: the receiver too that that you know, especially in the
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: second round. But I mean, I'm looking, I'm looking at
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: the board if I if I were, if I was
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: looking at the board in the second round of receivers,
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: I'm taking and I'm sorting by by forty time. Give
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: me a guy that's in the fourth four to two,
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: four to three range. Now, obviously, if he's in the
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: second round, he's got some kind of issues, maybe not
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: that big, not as productive as he's been at times,
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: but speed is what I'm looking for, their playmaker, So
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: I'd be fine with that.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: And then corner as well.
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: Got you know, you get in the top three rounds,
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: you probably got a guy that should come in and
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: be able to play. You still got to figure out
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: running back, but you know you did. You did sign
- 1:02:36Speaker 5: a couple of guys there that can help you. Maybe
- 1:02:41Speaker 5: you pick one up later. And the defensive tackle. You know,
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: you just if you just look at what the history
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: for Eberflus and the guys that he's had, he just
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: typically hasn't had some of those those big name guys,
- 1:02:56Speaker 5: so I think they can kind of figure it out.
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: You obviously resigned Osa. They signed some guys in free
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: agency that I think can kind of help with that.
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: See how they play Solomon Thomas. That'll be interesting. But
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: you know, I can't pick everyone, but but that that
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: would be my guys there.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: All right, let's go to who's next year?
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: Troy in Indianapolis. Troy, how's it going good? How are
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: you great?
- 1:03:22Speaker 16: Man?
- 1:03:22Speaker 9: Great? Just ready to get this football season started?
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: First time caller, right, first time? I love it.
- 1:03:30Speaker 5: I love how we're getting these first time callers here today.
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: That's three at least, so that that is that is
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: good stuff, man, all right.
- 1:03:38Speaker 9: Definitely three. I definitely think the offensive line is a
- 1:03:42Speaker 9: place that we need to address. Okay, but my thought
- 1:03:45Speaker 9: is what about Tyler Warren? I just feel like that
- 1:03:50Speaker 9: in today's football, those guys are uncover uncoverable. You know,
- 1:03:55Speaker 9: we don't have those type physical guys out there playing
- 1:03:58Speaker 9: in space.
- 1:04:00Speaker 23: And if you put this guy out there, he can box,
- 1:04:02Speaker 23: he can play in space.
- 1:04:04Speaker 9: Now, a new offensive weapons. I just think he's a
- 1:04:07Speaker 9: game changer. What are your thoughts?
- 1:04:10Speaker 12: You know?
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Troy, I agree, and I say unfortunately because I
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: don't think that that'll be the case. But I agree
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: with you one hundred percent that that's the one that
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: that would be the wild card for me if he's
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: there and they and they really like him. If say
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: they evaluated him and said, this guy's elite, because I
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: totally agree with you. If you have a tight end
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: that you cannot really cover, it's a problem. It is
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: a huge, huge problem. And that's how you make a
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: great quarterback. I mean, think about these guys all the time.
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: Think about Mahomes, think about Brady. They have when you
- 1:04:51Speaker 5: think of their receivers and running backs, they change every year,
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: but the tight end doesn't change. Tight end didn't change
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: for Brady and it doesn't change for Mahomes. So you
- 1:05:00Speaker 5: get that guy, hmmm.
- 1:05:02Speaker 23: Like well, and the and the difference in that is
- 1:05:05Speaker 23: Warren can block, right. This guy's not a guy that
- 1:05:07Speaker 23: just plays in space.
- 1:05:09Speaker 10: He's dirty, he's nasty, he plays hard.
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: Which makes them That's what the mismatch is.
- 1:05:14Speaker 5: He comes out on the line of Scrimmagine, he's right
- 1:05:16Speaker 5: next to the tackle, all right, They're about to run
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: the ball. Next thing you know, Mahomes pops up, pushes
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: him out there to the flat. Now, now what happens.
- 1:05:23Speaker 5: Now we're gonna put a corner on him. You can
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: put the linebacker on him, because that'll be a l you.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Can't do that.
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: So that's why they're there's such big mismatches because they
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: can play inside out. That's what made Witten so good witting.
- 1:05:35Speaker 5: He wasn't the most athletic player, but he got open.
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: He certainly got open and he could block. So that's
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: why I I you know, then it would create a problem.
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: You're gonna have to trade for somebody. You have to
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: trade Ferguson, you have to trade a Scoon making if
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: you know you'd have to do that, you'd have. But
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: if you if you if they really really like him,
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: I don't think he should be excluded from the mix.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: That's that's my take on that.
- 1:06:03Speaker 18: Appreciate that Troy anything else.
- 1:06:05Speaker 23: I just I'm just not really sure how confident I
- 1:06:09Speaker 23: am in the top offensive lineman. I just don't think
- 1:06:12Speaker 23: we're gonna get another Time Smith, even at twelve in
- 1:06:16Speaker 23: the in the first round. You know, I just don't
- 1:06:18Speaker 23: know if that guy's in this draft.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and he and he might not be. You know,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Tyron went ninth.
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: It's one of the best drafts of all time, you know,
- 1:06:29Speaker 5: NFL wise, if you go back and look at that draft,
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: I mean, there are some big time names that came
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: out of that draft. So and JJ Watt I believe
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: win eleven that year. So really really big time draft.
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: But so you know there's guys that fall to twelve.
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: I mean, like especially with these quarterbacks. You know, best
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: thing that you could see is you see Jackson Dart
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: somehow get in there. If he gets in there, that's
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: even better.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: That's perfect.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: It's what you want. And you want Shad or Sanders
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: to go. You know, you want those quarterbacks to go
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: because that's going to give you a lot of really
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: good players that you really want that will be still
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: sitting there for you. All Right, Troy, good stuff, Thanks
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: for the call. Good to hear from you. That was
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: four first time callers at call today. That's amazing. That's good.
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: Good stuff right there. All right, Champ in Nebraska not
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: a first time caller, but first time in a little bit.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Champ, what's up.
- 1:07:22Speaker 16: It has been a little bit.
- 1:07:23Speaker 14: I'll miss you guys.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Yeah, man, everything going good?
- 1:07:27Speaker 7: Yeah, sir.
- 1:07:28Speaker 14: I just you know, I hadn't had a whole lot
- 1:07:30Speaker 14: to say a getting ready for the draft and all that.
- 1:07:32Speaker 14: Didn't want to just be calling to be a caller.
- 1:07:35Speaker 14: That was like, hey, I'm still here. And whatnot. But
- 1:07:38Speaker 14: I just wanted to call and I got a little
- 1:07:41Speaker 14: bit on my heart today with Landy. Obviously, of course
- 1:07:45Speaker 14: that's hard. I mean, but hey, the first two calls
- 1:07:50Speaker 14: were a little somber, and I didn't like that. I
- 1:07:54Speaker 14: was like, he's still with us. He's a fighter. I mean,
- 1:07:56Speaker 14: I don't know Randy personally, but just listening to him,
- 1:08:00Speaker 14: he's a fighter. He's a Cowboys fan. He's a fighter.
- 1:08:02Speaker 14: You got this, Brandy, get better, my friend. And then
- 1:08:06Speaker 14: with Tyron. You know I've told you before. With Zach Martin,
- 1:08:10Speaker 14: I'm an old offensive lineman the line. That's where my
- 1:08:12Speaker 14: heart is at. And man, we've lost some good ones
- 1:08:15Speaker 14: this year. I know he didn't prry with us last year,
- 1:08:18Speaker 14: but I still tured for him over there. I wanted
- 1:08:21Speaker 14: to see him do well because he's a cowboy. I'm
- 1:08:24Speaker 14: glad he's getting that one day contract. I can't wait
- 1:08:27Speaker 14: to hear. I hope he speaks today. He's a quiet guy.
- 1:08:31Speaker 14: I really would like to hear him just speak from
- 1:08:34Speaker 14: the heart about his time with the Cowboys. Draft purposes.
- 1:08:40Speaker 14: Really excited, got that hope. He'm built up. I'm thinking,
- 1:08:43Speaker 14: here we go, let's get something good. I think that
- 1:08:48Speaker 14: we have a plan. I didn't hate free agency. I
- 1:08:51Speaker 14: would have liked to have seen a little more of it,
- 1:08:55Speaker 14: hate it to start, ben a little more than we
- 1:08:57Speaker 14: have in the year's past. I just wanted to say hey,
- 1:09:02Speaker 14: and which my best Randy, which my best in Tyron.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: All right, appreciate that, Thank you so much, champ.
- 1:09:09Speaker 15: Hull for sure.
- 1:09:12Speaker 5: And yeah, I love the there you guys are spreading
- 1:09:15Speaker 5: the love today. Let's as far as for Tyring goes,
- 1:09:22Speaker 5: the press combence is gonna be. It's gonna be interesting
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: to see. I saw the setup that they have a
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: very similar setup to what we had just a few
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: weeks ago. I guess with Zach Martin that you know
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: it was that was pretty natural. You know, Zach had
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: no issues with that.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how long this.
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: Goes with with Tyron. This isn't this isn't something that
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: he's He's I don't know what to say good at,
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: but I mean he's probably not gonna be comfortable with
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: this setup. But that you know, that's just what it is.
- 1:09:55Speaker 5: I mean, he he wasn't a media friendly guy. Not
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: that he wasn't a friendly just this wasn't his thing.
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: You know, like and so it probably won't last too long.
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: He's not gonna He's not just like Larry Allen. You
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: know back in the day, Larry didn't didn't talk a
- 1:10:10Speaker 5: whole lot, but uh he sure could. You know, when
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: he got his hands on you, it was over. Like
- 1:10:15Speaker 5: like we said earlier, great great player. Glad the Cowboys
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: are doing this. Kind of wish they would do this
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: with some other guys. There's about six or seven other
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: guys that I know I would like this as well.
- 1:10:26Speaker 5: That not on that not on that level of Tyron Smith.
- 1:10:30Speaker 5: But it matters to them. It matters to be to
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: retire as a Cowboy.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: It's not that they're going into the Hall of Fame
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: and what cap are they wearing. The NFL doesn't do that.
- 1:10:42Speaker 5: It's just it matters to them. Even though they go
- 1:10:45Speaker 5: to another team, they want to They want to finish
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: with the Cowboy, especially for those players that started here.
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: So you know, I kind of wish they would do that.
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: It's this is the time to do it. You'd have
- 1:10:56Speaker 5: to do it right now, in this April when when
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: you can get to ninety players do it for one
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: day boom. You can't do it in middle of the season.
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: You can't cut a player just for that. You have
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: to kind of do it this time of year. So
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: but yeah, I'm glad they're doing it with Tyron. It'll
- 1:11:10Speaker 5: be fun to see what happens today. All right, let's
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: keep it going. Here, got two more callers we've gotta
- 1:11:14Speaker 5: get in. Chris Saratoga Springs.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: New York. Chris. What's up?
- 1:11:19Speaker 19: Hey?
- 1:11:20Speaker 14: Nick?
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: How are great?
- 1:11:21Speaker 16: And you not too bad? Every show I seem to
- 1:11:25Speaker 16: get on Mike Tyler Warren Man keeps coming up every time,
- 1:11:30Speaker 16: and you're warming up more and more every single time.
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, tight ends can be a difference makers.
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: And if he's that guy, I just you know, nothing
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: against Jake Ferguson or Schoonmaker, but they're they're not those guys,
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: you know now, Now, Kittle was what a fifth round pick,
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: fourth round pick. I mean, Kittle developed into that so
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: you could be a star and you don't have to
- 1:11:55Speaker 5: necessarily be a first round And I'm not saying that
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: that Ferguson can't take that next leap, but you know,
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: it would be it'd be interesting if they did that.
- 1:12:03Speaker 5: I don't think they will, but.
- 1:12:07Speaker 16: You know, yeah, the more the more I look at it,
- 1:12:09Speaker 16: I really see it's trading back. I really think we're
- 1:12:13Speaker 16: gonna without having that fourth round pick. I think they're
- 1:12:15Speaker 16: gonna want to add some extra picks. And I think
- 1:12:18Speaker 16: if the guy, the one or two guys that they're
- 1:12:20Speaker 16: targeting is not there, I really think they're going to
- 1:12:22Speaker 16: move back.
- 1:12:24Speaker 15: That's just my opinion.
- 1:12:25Speaker 16: I really do think they're going to move back a
- 1:12:27Speaker 16: little bit.
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to think, like, how do you get
- 1:12:30Speaker 5: a fourth round pick and move back? Like, I mean,
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: if you're trading a first round pick and you move
- 1:12:39Speaker 5: one spot back, I still think you would get a third,
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: maybe a fourth. So I don't know, I don't know.
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: I don't know how you get a fourth round pick.
- 1:12:51Speaker 5: I think you could maybe get a second and a
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: fourth if you move I don't know, five spots back
- 1:12:57Speaker 5: something like that.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: But uh yeah, and and you.
- 1:13:01Speaker 5: Don't necessarily have to get your fourth, right then if
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: you move back a few spots and pick up a third,
- 1:13:05Speaker 5: now you're sitting with two thirds. That's how you work
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: your way when you get to that point. That's how
- 1:13:10Speaker 5: you work your way back into the fourth or whatever.
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, I'm I just don't think it'll
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: happen with the tight end because I don't think that
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: it's just a need. They've got some needs. They still
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: have needs, and I don't think that's a huge need, right,
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: But it would be a fun pick, be a fun player,
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: and I and I think it's somebody that could that
- 1:13:33Speaker 5: could help their their football team. You know, the quarterback's
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: best friend is a tight end. And I think Ferguson
- 1:13:38Speaker 5: is still really good. Last year was a tough year.
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: He got hurt twice and and that that that's something
- 1:13:45Speaker 5: I think we still have to remember. But you know,
- 1:13:48Speaker 5: the second time you got hurt, Schoonmaker actually took his
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: game to another level. So they have a great coach
- 1:13:54Speaker 5: over there and tight ends coach Lunda Wells is really
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: really good. Every year he's developing these tight ends getting
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: them to another level. So that was a big get
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: to keep him on the staff. He had a chance
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: to go to other places. So I think I think
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: the tight end room will be great. But you know,
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: that would that'd be a fun pick.
- 1:14:12Speaker 16: Yeah, I got one more question for you. I know
- 1:14:15Speaker 16: we signed two linebackers in the off season with that
- 1:14:19Speaker 16: second round pick. What's your thought on that kid from UCLA, Carson.
- 1:14:23Speaker 16: I really really liked the kid.
- 1:14:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd be lying to you if I tell you
- 1:14:28Speaker 5: I knew anything about him.
- 1:14:30Speaker 15: I don't.
- 1:14:31Speaker 5: I see it on our I'm looking at our draft magazine.
- 1:14:34Speaker 5: We've got uh Sweastinger. I can't even say his name.
- 1:14:38Speaker 16: I yeah, that's why I said, Carson, Yeah.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: Yeah, right. I you know, we we have a show
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: for that.
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: These guys, these guys will will be all over it tomorrow.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: Talking about you know, all these guys.
- 1:14:49Speaker 5: I just can't sit here and tell you that that
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: I know much about him, if anything. But you know,
- 1:14:56Speaker 5: I do think it's a position where you know, with
- 1:14:59Speaker 5: over show, OAN's injury, that one's tough. I tell you,
- 1:15:02Speaker 5: the guy that doesn't get talked about a lot, but
- 1:15:04Speaker 5: he's the big year as the moon Clark. I mean,
- 1:15:07Speaker 5: if anything's gonna happen with the moon Clark, it's got
- 1:15:10Speaker 5: to happen now. And so you've got Lea f Al,
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: you got the two linebackers they brought in, uh Walker
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: and Sanborn. But I do think there's still some some
- 1:15:18Speaker 5: more depth that's needed at linebacker. I don't know about
- 1:15:20Speaker 5: second round. I feel like there's other bigger needs. But
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: you know, it's all about talent and and and grades.
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: And if you got a stud that's fallen that you love,
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: I'm I'm for it. So all right, Chris, good stuff.
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: Wish I knew a little bit more about those draft picks,
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: but you.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Know, I'm getting there.
- 1:15:41Speaker 5: I mean, you can't you can't get me second round guy,
- 1:15:43Speaker 5: the first round. Still kind of working with myself in
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: the first round. But but I love that you guys
- 1:15:49Speaker 5: know that it's a big deal. I mean, the draft
- 1:15:51Speaker 5: is is big. I've always just thought it's so hard
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: to prepare for it, to get ahead of it. But
- 1:15:57Speaker 5: but there's guys.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: That we have.
- 1:15:59Speaker 5: We have the sho They love it and it's a
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: it's a cool thing. So definitely check those out. Let's go,
- 1:16:05Speaker 5: last collar of the day, Lester in Minnesota. Lester, how
- 1:16:09Speaker 5: you doing.
- 1:16:11Speaker 20: Good morning, Nick. My special prayers go out to Randy.
- 1:16:17Speaker 20: And it was a heck of a run.
- 1:16:20Speaker 15: Heck heck, heck, heck of.
- 1:16:22Speaker 20: A run by my left tackle there, who's retiring today.
- 1:16:29Speaker 20: As far as I think you know, I'm the offensive
- 1:16:34Speaker 20: defensive line guy, and I gave you my lineup for
- 1:16:38Speaker 20: the line as as it is today. I know we
- 1:16:41Speaker 20: may draft someone or whatever. I don't think we need
- 1:16:44Speaker 20: to draft one in the first round unless there's somewhere
- 1:16:48Speaker 20: someone in there that we can't do it out, which
- 1:16:50Speaker 20: I don't believe that the case this year. We could
- 1:16:55Speaker 20: pick up a good offensive lineman and you know, the
- 1:17:00Speaker 20: later rounds unless the Boise State guy is there running
- 1:17:05Speaker 20: back at twelve, I would move back a couple kicks,
- 1:17:09Speaker 20: a couple three fourth picks and get get that fourth
- 1:17:12Speaker 20: rounder back or another third rounder. I think we should
- 1:17:17Speaker 20: go defensive linemans and this is what I would do.
- 1:17:24Speaker 20: Defensive lineman, running back I'm sorry, running back first, defensive lineman,
- 1:17:30Speaker 20: and I would go from there because like I said,
- 1:17:34Speaker 20: I think we should go get the guy, the wide
- 1:17:37Speaker 20: receiver from Chicago. I don't think he's there anymore with them,
- 1:17:40Speaker 20: but to get Keen I think it's in keenan Islan
- 1:17:43Speaker 20: or whatever, to go get kick him up, and I
- 1:17:47Speaker 20: don't know if it's Sante Samuel still out there, will
- 1:17:49Speaker 20: go get him as a corner.
- 1:17:51Speaker 14: Though.
- 1:17:51Speaker 20: We don't have to just reach and get something that
- 1:17:55Speaker 20: we desperately need or whatever, and we can just build
- 1:18:00Speaker 20: our defensive line up again as it stands now, our
- 1:18:06Speaker 20: offensive line this is what I would do. I would
- 1:18:09Speaker 20: kick Tyler out to the left tackle. I would put
- 1:18:13Speaker 20: still at left guard. BB Hoffman, Awesome Richard or or
- 1:18:19Speaker 20: or the rookie from last year. That's what I would do.
- 1:18:22Speaker 20: I think because you know, you want to protect Dak
- 1:18:27Speaker 20: and he doesn't. When he doesn't feel protective, he he
- 1:18:33Speaker 20: you know, he gets a little nervous back there. And
- 1:18:36Speaker 20: I think that would be the best line up right
- 1:18:38Speaker 20: now as it stands. If we grab somebody, of course,
- 1:18:42Speaker 20: flipping around or whatever. But that's all I have to
- 1:18:47Speaker 20: say until we get a good it's a great offensive
- 1:18:51Speaker 20: and defensive line at the same time. Cowboy friends, this
- 1:18:54Speaker 20: is what we got Cowboys.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Thanks Les.
- 1:18:57Speaker 5: I don't agree with that at all. I think Tyler
- 1:19:00Speaker 5: Smith needs to stay at guard. That's where he's going
- 1:19:03Speaker 5: to be elite. That's where he has been elite. I
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: keep him at guard for sure, don't. I don't move
- 1:19:07Speaker 5: him to tackle, and I definitely move Terrence Steele to
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: a position he's never played before either.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: He needs to stay there. But you know, it's.
- 1:19:15Speaker 5: There's a lot of moving parts, and there's a lot
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: of players that can move around like that. I don't
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: know about those two all right, guys, great show, sixteen
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: callers outstanding. We were able to move quickly at four
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: first timers.
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Good stuff.
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: More importantly than that, this was a great show because
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: it reminds you, like I said earlier, that this show
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: is a family.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: It really is.
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: And when one of our guys is down right now
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: and Randy, everyone's rallying to him. And we know, Randy,
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: we're all pulling for you, but we know that you're
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: a fighter, like like one of the callers just said,
- 1:19:49Speaker 5: you're a fighter. You've got this, and we're here to
- 1:19:51Speaker 5: help you, support you in any way. We're praying for
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: good news, good results, and some of the procedures happening
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: later on this this month. We're all gonna be rooting
- 1:20:02Speaker 5: for you and keeping you in our prayers. For sure, Randy,
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: you're the best, and we really really are. I can't
- 1:20:10Speaker 5: wait for you to call again. We know it'll be
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: sooner than later. All right, guys, great show, appreciate it.
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: We'll be we'll be back next Wednesday, be the day
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: before the draft.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: We'll be Draft Eve.
