  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome to Cowboys Starline presented by Gillette. It's Wednesday,
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: June tenth. And then break. I'm gonna call Chris Beam
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: and make sure and call hr and get him reported
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: for some of the treatment that he's been giving me
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: here in the last few minutes. But it's all right, though,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: He's gonna get you guys on the line and do
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: this show. All right, Let's get everything turned down, get
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: ready to go. All right, Nick Eatman here the phone
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: number eight eight eight eight five five to two nine seven.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: We are flying right along here in this offseason already
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: June tenth. We've got a couple of more ot A
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: practices and then next week's mini camp, which will be mandatory.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Uh so that's big for one player in particular, George
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Pickens will be on George GP He watched to see
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: if he shows up, which everyone's expecting him to. But
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: then again, as we've said all off season, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: nobody was fined more than than Pickens last year, so
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: he's not scared of the fine and whatever that might take.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: And if he's if so, if he doesn't show up
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: to the mini camp, probably wouldn't be the most surprising
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: thing in the world. So, but still it's affecting the team.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: And we'll and we'll and and only in in them
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: in the fact that the offense hasn't looked as good
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: as you would expect, you know, for that side of
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the ball to be the best side of of your team,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: and it hasn't necessarily shown that so far this this offseason,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: which then again there's a reason for that. And you
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: look at the receivers that aren't here going up against
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the defense, they're not going to be as challenged as much.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: All right, let's get it going. Let's go to the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: phone lines. Let's go to Joe and Stanford. Joe, what's up?
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Leading off?
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Brother? Good?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great? Man. So the seat or the Pickings
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: saying it does seem like he's pouting, doesn't it sort
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: of seem that he's just pouting.
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, I.
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: Don't know how else to take it. Why isn't he
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: Why isn't he there? It doesn't make sense.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if pouting is
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: the word, mainly because when you have four kids, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and you've you've seen how what pouting really is. Then
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: then again I don't know necessarily, because that's what I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: dealing with this morning, is you know, basically to a
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: six year old that they got like twenty seven presents
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and kind of wondering where twenty eight and twenty nine are,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: so that I put in the pouting description. I don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: know what, George, but I'm with you. I don't understand
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: why he's not not here. And even if it was
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: a hold in, just be here and be around things,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: if it's a fear of injury and not wanting to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: get hurt out there, okay, at least you could kind
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: of be here with the meetings and and and all that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: I means, Yeah, it's exactly the opposite of what you
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, they're not they're not extending him
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: because they want to see him act like yeah, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: and he's doing exactly what they don't want to see.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: I don't but you know, I mean, you know, he's
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: still young guy. I hope hopefully he can figure that out.
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: I was going to say, I was watching the interviews
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: from OTA yesterday, and I see somebody who has matured
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: and they've gotten his attention, as Jayden Blue. I don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: know if you've noticed. I don't know if you have
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: seen a difference in the way he's acting, but that interview,
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: you can really tell somebody has gotten his attention and
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: he's ready to get his head on straight and be
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: a football player too.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: To me, yeah, that would be awesome if that is
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the case. And I'm not saying it's not. I haven't
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: necessarily seen that, but I haven't seen it the other
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: way either. I mean, I just this is this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: that time, and I always speak to it that year
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: one to year two jump. It's so vital for these players,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: especially that guy like like him, a fifth year you
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: know player, which you know you're when you draft. I mean,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I say, fifth year, fifth round, fifth round pick. You're
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: drafted in the fifth round, You're gonna probably make the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: team your first year, but your second year, like nothing's guaranteed,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you know, if Because Malik Davis wasn't supposed to factor
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: into this equation, but he is and he's better than
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: those guys. So he's got I mean.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: If from his from Eleak's last year, I don't see
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: why he wouldn't factor in. I thought he did a
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: good job.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, he wasn't even there and then
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: wasn't even really at camp and then they added him late.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: And you know, Malik Davis has worn every number other
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: than twenty two. I feel like with this team, I mean,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: he's kind of bounced the rhymes and jurneyman, but he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: kind of figured it out, you know, and so he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: he's right there, he's the he's the backup U and
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: now you know, Blue and MafA are going to have
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to unseat him and show that that he can he
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: can be better than that. But yeah, I think Jayden Blue,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: from a maturity standpoint, just kind of realizing the little
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: things that it takes to be a great NFL player.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: It sounds like he's on track for that right on.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: So I got a question here, just something. I was
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: who is the tackle from the Rams who were tired
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: and they're talking about coming back for some reason, his name.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Not coming to me, Aaron Donals.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, the number ninety nine, the the Famer. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: he got drafted the same year as Zach Martin, right right, Honestly,
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: that year I wanted the Cowboys to draft that that
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: defensive tackle. Now, having said that, you know, Zach Martin
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: Hall of Famer, I mean we did, we couldn't go wrong.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: But let me ask you a question. Now you may
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: just react like I'm crazy, But looking back on it, now,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: if you could draft the defensive tackle instead of Zach Martin,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: knowing that we didn't win a championship drafting Zach, would
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: you do it?
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Well, let's let's be honest about it. Though, Like Aaron
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Donald was off the off the board, So I mean
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you can you can play Aaron Donald and the twenty
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: fourteen draft.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure, honestly, I don't I don't remember.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he was taking like seventh or eighth
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: or nine. I mean he he was up there because
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: they had three defensive guys that they liked. One of
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: them was Anthony Barr, one of them was Ryan Shazir,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the other one was Aaron Donald and that and not
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: in that order. I believe Aaron Donald went off the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: board seven or eight.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: Okay, Well, I honestly didn't look this up. When I
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: thought of that question, I just thought, man, I'm not
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: sure what I would do. He just the other day
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: when they talked about him coming back, I was thinking,
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: would I have done something different there? But anyway, appreciate it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, thanks for the aks the call for sure.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I mean Ryan Shazier, I mean he was the player
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: that got injured and paralyzed on the field. I think
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: with the Steelers he was taken right before and of
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: course the big, the big thought there was was Johnny
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Manziel and Jerry wanted Johnny Manziel and the whole room
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: had to kind of convince him that wasn't the smart pick.
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: But you know, so from that draft, you bar went
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: nine and Donald went thirteen, Year went fifteen, and then
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: Martin went.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Sixteen, and O'Dell Beckham's in there too.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham went twelve.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, okay, I you know what, thanks Chris. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: didn't realize that that that Donald went that late. I mean,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: you know, wow, that's a great example when you when
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you're looking at the draft and you think, like, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: you pick eleventh, twelfth, like the Cowboys were were at
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: twelve and moved to eleven, Like, are you really going
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: to get a great player? Just another example that yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: yeah you can at thirteen you can get a really
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: good one there. And Michael Parsons when they got him,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: and you know, same type of thing you know at
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: twelve and and and they're hoping for the same with
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Calem Downs. So but a good example of that. As
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: for who's who's better, They're they're gonna just probably, you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: take a picture together in Canton one day because they're
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: both going to be there. You can make the case
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: for for either one, you know. I mean, if the Rams,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Aaron Donald was outstanding, but there's a lot of teams
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: that passed on Zach Martin. I'm not saying that the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Rams are have ever worried about that, but there's a
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: lot of teams there and those he was taking sixteenth,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: there's there. I can promise you there wasn't fifteen players
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: better than him, Maybe just a couple if that. Let's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: go to the next caller, Jeremy and salt Lake. Jeremy,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: what's up, man?
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: Hey?
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: What's going on?
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Are you I'm good? I'm good, things are good. Just
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: a little bored you know, I think we all are.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: Some of the talking points nationally drive me nuts because.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Well they're probably you know, they're they're they're bored also,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: So that's whatever, whatever you're about to say, whatever frustration
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: you've got, don't don't forget. From an NFL standpoint, they're bored.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: The the NBA Finals is entertaining as it can get.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: The NHL, you know, Stanley Cup is entertaining as it
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: can get. But yet NFL is still right there at
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: the top. And you know there's every team's got a
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: pressing question, what is it? Blah blah blah, And I
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: don't even know what you're about to say. I just
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: cut you off. I apologize.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: No, you're good, You're good. No, you basically said, yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: what I My point is that, you know, sometimes and
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: it's the cowboys too, so they always have to have
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: some sort of story.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: And I was watching.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Something a little I don't know, it's like a little
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: real on one O three or one of the fan
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: whatever you guys got down there, and they were talking
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: about Jalen Thompson being a no show for OTAs and
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: you know, working with the strength people or the conditioning
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: people or whatever, you know, and people freaking out about that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: It's just like, well, it's just it's OTAs man. Maybe
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: the dude's got you know, like a sore whatever, dude,
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know, And it's just everything's just being
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: made such a big deal the Pickens thing. It just
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: seems like sometimes I feel like the national media has
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: tried tries to start problems, you know what I mean,
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: when there aren't really Like, yeah, Pickens deal is what
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: it is, right, but at the end of the day
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: he signed, he'll be here for the mandatory stuff, you know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: I don't want him taking the chance on the OTAs
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: to tell you the truth, you know, just it's it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: just kind of pretty standard when you when you sign
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: that franchise tag, right, So I don't think it's anything
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: real different it should, but everybody's making a big deal
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: on him because because we're bored, right. I just can't
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: wait for football. I can't wait to see this defense.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: And the big reason I wanted to talk to you
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: today was I wanted to know, like, what what kind
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: of access you guys have to these OTAs, how much
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: you see and if you're seeing anything out there that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: that you feel, you know, raised your eyebrowser or made
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: you more excited for training camp.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, thanks for thanks for the call. You're
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: you're ready to go. You're ready for training camp. This
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: offseason is hard on on you know, the the diehard
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: fans lout like yourself, just because you know, not only
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: is there not football around, but just you know, little
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: snippets of it and and you know, you kind of
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: go going off what other people's opinions and stuff like that.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Now you said the term, I don't know if the
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: if the radio stations whatever said the term no show
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: for Jalen Thompson. That I mean, he's not practicing just
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: because of you know, an injury that he's trying to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: rehab and deal with. You know, Pikett's no show like that,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: that's the no show. So I mean I wouldn't I
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: wouldn't put Jalen Thompson in that category at all. He'll
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: be fine, he'll be ready to go. And I think
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you know that that that room. I don't know if
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: you can you can improve a room better than what
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys did at safety in one offseason. Now we'll
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: see how they play on the field. Obviously, because let's
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: be honest about it. PJ. Lock, Jalen Thompson is as
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: good as they seem to be and could be. You know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: their teams did let them go and not not resign them,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: so you know, I think the Cowboys are excited about
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: what they're getting in Thompson and Luck and then they
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: restructured Hooker's deal to keep him here. Good veteran leader
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: and and and I think he's a good player, especially
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: when he gets some pass rush. He you know, he
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: didn't just fall off the face of the earth because
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: you know, he just stopped playing, stop being good at football.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: It's just it helps when you have a Micah Parsons
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: rush in the pass. But they're gonna have to generate
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: that pass rush. I think Hooker will be just fine.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: And of course Caleb down so you talk about that
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: from a safety standpoint, you know, and then behind him
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Marky spell Eler Clark, so really good competition. Uh there
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: some of the other the points you were making, you're
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: asking a question about what the kind of access that
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: we get. We're out there on one day a week
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: for the for the OTAs, and then the mini camp
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: will be out there for all three days, so that
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: that's the practice is structure the same, but we're relatively same.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I say that because that's what it looks like. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: bet you the coaches be like, no, way, absolutely different
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: because we only go twelfth place here as opposed to
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: sixteen here. Whatever, it looks kind of the same.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: You know, you're down there on on on the field,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: on the track, if you will, and everything's kind of flat,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: so if you see guys on the other side of
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: the field, it mean it's tough to kind of see that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: We got a decent view from our office, you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: actually from the window there, and the air condition is
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: way better than it is outside. But you know, so
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: you know, you get some good views of that. But
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I'll say this, like, like, for instance, yesterday I was
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: just kind of looking around and seeing some of the
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: corners and one guy that looks incredibly quick to me
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: is Kobe Durant number two. For now, I don't know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna happen with these Jersey numbers
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: and all that, but but you know, he looks the
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: part at number two. You know, he's kind of a short,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: compact corner kind of looked like you know what we saw.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Jordan lewis really but he looks very quick to me
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: and just just a guy that's got a lot of burst.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: And those are the kind of things that that you
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: can see from a practice like that. Just being out there,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: you see how big these guys are, how fast they are,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: quick they are and all that. But the quickness there,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: it jumped off to me twice and it made me think, Man,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: this guy's got you know. I mean, I'm not saying
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: he's again put him in the same category as the
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: other two. They're his team. The Rams decided not to
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: resign him, so I'm not saying that they're getting, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: a Pro Bowl type player, but I'm just saying that
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I think what the Cowboys need and and and from
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: a quickness standpoint, and a guy that can cover for
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: a couple more seconds, I think Kobe Durant would pretty
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: good pick up for them. And and so far, just
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: from what I saw, I like what I've seen out there,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: just from a quickness standpoint. Let's go to Brian in
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Kansas City. Brian, what's that man?
• 15:16
  Speaker 12: Good morning?
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Nick?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Good man?
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: You know, I saw the injury news about Hennessy and
• 15:25
  Speaker 11: and uh, of course the person drew the parallel about
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: you know that happened last year or too, you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 11: and and that guy never made it back.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: That doesn't mean this that's what's going to happen here.
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: But I guess the prediction is that he's going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: at least make puffs. He's you know, he's not going
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: to be back, you know, at least.
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: In the beginning.
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: So and I'm was racking my brain to think, has
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: has that ever taken center snaps in a game? I
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: know he can do it because he's he's always been
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: like the okay of Hoffman's not available for some reason.
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: You're the guy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Has who taken snaps okayj.
• 16:06
  Speaker 14: In a game?
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: In a game?
• 16:07
  Speaker 15: I know he can do it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: I know he you know, he's practiced it. Has he
• 16:12
  Speaker 11: ever done I couldn't remember. I didn't try to look
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: it up, but.
• 16:16
  Speaker 15: I feel remember it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I you know what, maybe maybe not because Hoffman. I
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: feel like Hoffman always was the center, he was the guard.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You're right about the practice. He's certainly done it and
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: been a guy that's you know, versatile to do it,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: smart enough. But I'd have to look that up. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: you know, I would imagine Chris probably already looking it
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: up to see if Bass has gotten some some sinners.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I'm working on it. Yeah, I don't know either way.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Either way, you know what, whether he has or he hasn't. Uh,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: it's something he's gonna be he's going to be doing
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: and working on and and yeah, I mean that's I mean,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: that's what preduason games are for. You know, he's not
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: a starter right now. He's a backup, and I would
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: love to see him start at center in some of
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: these preseason games and really give him some some good
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: work there. Shotgun too, more than anything, can you do?
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: A can you do the shotgun? Wasn't it Connor Williams
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: that I remember that they had a tackle They tried
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: him out at center. Body type wise, he was perfect
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: size for center. Problem is, I just couldn't get that
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: snap down and literally down, you know. I mean it's
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: like shocks shots off the quarterback here. So this thing's
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: got to come you know, right here at eye level
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: or whatever. But uh, that's a big part of it,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: you know, a Tyler Biattish big issue there why he
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: didn't play his rookie years because Andy Dalton didn't know
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: where the shotgun snap was ever going to be and
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: so he couldn't keep his eyes off the field because
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: he's having to watch the ball. So you know that
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: that's a really underrated thing that we don't think about
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: so much at center. But this is the time to
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: do those kind of things. And so yeah, I would
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: like to see Fast get some work there.
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah, And I just couldn't. I couldn't remember a game.
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: Like I said, I didn't try to. Look, I just
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: couldn't remember a time. We're getting the game, and you
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: always wonder, you know, how a person performs when the
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: lights are on versus you know what it looks like
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: in practice. You know, Kyrie Elam was spectacular last year
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: in the off season. Spectacular. Yeah, and never translated to
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: a game. I got one more question. I'll hang up
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: and listen to the answer. Okay, So people have been talking,
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: you know, killing time in the off season with these
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: kind of topics about things that change and sometimes you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: things go out of style and come back into style
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: and all that sort of thing. If you go back
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: and watch the Super Bowl twelve, the Cowboys use motion
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: an enormous amount of times in that game. You know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: those things just kind of come and go. We think
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: of that as part of the modern offense, but they
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: were doing it back then a lot, so it just
• 19:05
  Speaker 11: things kind of come and go. What they were talking
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: about specifically was right now, it looks like interior tackles
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: and guards to compensate are highly valued. That that's kind
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: of a trend.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: You look at the how the Eagles were built in
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: their Super Bowl year. Their interior guys were monsters and
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: mahomes just never had a chance in that Super Bowl, right, Yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: So those are the things just curious of the trends
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: you've done this for so long, of the trends you've
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: seen come and go, I'm going to say we all
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: hate the same one, the current one, the tush push.
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: So we won't go with which one we hate the most,
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: which one has interested you the most? Of current trends
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: that are happening kind of right now around the league.
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: And I'll hang up and listen.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Brother, Okay, all right, Oh man, it kind of got
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: me on the spot there because I it's it's funny
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the league is so it's just it's such a cycle,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: you know that that You're right At times it looks
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: like it's just a passing league. And now it's kind
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: of come back as a little bit more running. You know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: you'll see a little bit more of the fullback at
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: how how valuable uh that can be. And you know,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the I think I think you're right about the interior guys,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: the defensive tackles. You know, Romo. I remember Romo always
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: saying to the tackles, don't hold it, don't hold out there,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: let him go if you have to, because I could
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: see them and I you know, and he even could
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: see the guy behind him. For some reason. He had
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: that Jedi trick that he could spin away from stuff.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: But the pressure right up the middle is always really tough,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: and you know, and it keeps, it keeps. If you
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: have a shorter quarterback, you've got to have that. You know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: you've got to have your interior guys not get you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: blown up and all that. Those are the ones that
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: have to be kind of the strongest. And because of that,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: because we've seen these guards and a lot more emphasis
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: on the guards and centers there. Now we're flips to
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the other side. Now, you know, you're seeing teams really
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: put a heavy emphasis even more on those defensive tackles,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: not more than a pass rush. But I think the
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: studies will show that the teams that are better in
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: the middle there are probably more successful in the playoffs
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: than the ones that have these these speed rushers to
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: the outside. Now, if you can get both, now, now
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: you've got a great defense. I don't know if I
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: answer your question correctly. I'm not sure if I see
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: it that same way with the trends and stuff. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: just you know, I think that that the best coaches
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: are the ones that are adaptable and they look at
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: these players and they say, how does this guy fit
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: into what I'm trying to do? And and also how
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: can I fit my scheme around what this guy does?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: And so you kind of and that in together. So
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: all right, Chris Beam just tells me TJ. Bast has
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: never played center in a game. Well, I bet he's
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: played some in the preseason, and more than anything, he'll
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: probably play some, uh this year. If I didn't mention that,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: we kind of refer to it. But yet, Matt Hennessy's
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: gonna have surgery on his neck, which never sounds fun,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: and he's gonna they're gonna put him on He's gonna
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: start the season on pup. What that means is that
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: that and there's two different kinds of pup. He'll probably
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: be on the non active one, which means they would
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: get a roster spot starting at camp. The first day
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: of camp. Hennessy goes on there. I believe that means
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: those rules are always tricky that in the n FI
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: he might be on the ninety h one ninety one roster.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: But there's there's also the different kinds of lists where
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: they can put him on that he will not count
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: towards it. Not sure exactly which one that he will
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: go on. We'll see a trading camp. Either way, he's
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: not going to be around, not gonna be available to
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: play this first few weeks of the season, So it'll
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: see what kind of rehab that he has. But that's
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: a big blow because you know, he's a guy that
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: was kind of that that Swiss Army knife on the
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: offensive line, and so they're gonna they're gonna definitely miss
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: not having him there. All right, Chris and Saratoga Springs, Chris, what's.
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: Up, hey, Nick?
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: How's it going good? How are you not too bad?
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: You were just talking about Romo and I think my
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: favorite play from him was that one where he had
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: the eyes in the back of his head with J. J.
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Watt coming around the corner.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: I knew it. Yep, yep oh and then throws a
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: touchdown to Terrence Williams, william who had no he had
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: no other choice but to catch that ball. I mean,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: he was kind of he was kind of off, you
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: know a little bit. That ball was like forty fifty yards,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: but that was I don't know how he did that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I'd be I really he was that. Those are the
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: kind of things that make Roun like. I think he's eye.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: He's underrated. I don't know what the rating is, but
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I think he was so good just because he had
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: a feel for it. He I've always said this, he
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: played football like a basketball player, and he was a
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: really good basketball player. People remember him for golf, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: he's a great at golf, but he's a great basketball
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: player also. But he played the position that way too.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Just had a good feel for where everybody was. And yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: he was he was awesome at that. But like anybody,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: you put that rush right up the middle, and he wasn't.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: He wasn't a fan of that. Most quarterbacks aren't. That's
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: why you're seeing a lot of emphasis there for the
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: for the middle of the field.
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure. As far as GP goes, I think
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: it's more the agent than it is him.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Really.
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: I think David Mulagana there is just given his last
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: little bit of a word or a little twist of
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: the knife to the Cowboys, you know, because this is
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: all you know, because Dall said they're not reading you know,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: they're not negotiating the contract this year. So I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: this is his last gas to get the last word in.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: To be honest with you, I would like him to
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: see him there. Obviously. I didn't even care if he
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: wasn't practicing, you know. For me, the right thing to
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: do is just be there, like you said earlier. But
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: I do think he'll be there, you know, start with
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: the sixteenth or seventeenth. I think that's when the mandatory starts, right.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's putting a lot of pressure on himself to
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: have a perfect season, to have a to have even
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: a better season stat wise than he did before, because
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: if things hold the way they are, he's not showing
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: those teams Cowboys included, that want to see that off
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: the field maturity type stuff he hasn't necessarily shown. I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: not saying he's not showing it just he can be
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: here and he's not so those things right there, like
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: he's everyone knows he can play football. It's the other
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: little things that make him, you know, worth you want
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: to pay this kind of money? Is he going to
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: be that committed? So those are things he needs to prove,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: and so far run off to a great start. I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: not saying it's it's OTAs. I mean CD, what hasn't
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: been here the last couple of days either? Why don't know?
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Don't care? Really not supposed to be be here when
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: you're supposed to be here. I'm not here at five
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: am in the morning. I'm not I'm not really supposed
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: to be but you know, supposed to be here at
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: nine point thirty for this show at ten o'clock, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: that's when I am. So let's judge people for when
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: they're supposed to be here. Now, would you like for
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: them to be here?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: You want?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: You know you what's the what's the line from the
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: movie Have you ever seen the movie The Breakup? And
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: she says, I want you to want to do the dishes,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: not just do the dishes, I want you to want
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: to do the dishes. And why would I want to
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: do the dishes. But you know you understand the point.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: But it's like I want you to want to be here,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: but we'll see.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: Uh, My question is, I think you only got to
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: see what one practice. What are your thoughts on CP
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: as far as the defense goes, because all I'm reading
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: and seeing is they're making it hard for the offense
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: right now. So what are your thoughts on him and
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: so far in uh, you know, early stages?
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Got it? Yeah, all right, thanks, thanks for the call, Chris.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: You know I'm I'm not I'm not trying to be
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Vince Vaughn and dodgeball here, as I just put two
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Vince Vaughn movies out there. I'm not trying to be
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: dodging the question, but I you know, we've I've said
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I've been duped before with with defenses and offenses in practice.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Practice is practice, and I'll say this, So the defense
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: does look look pretty good. But I could promise you
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: this doesn't matter what season or what game they're playing
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: this year. If the receivers that the other team lines
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: out are Valdez, Scantling, Flinoy in Turpin, then this defense
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: better looked good and and nothing against them. But that's
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: not your one, two and three that that's like three,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: four and five. You know, if that right now? And
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: nothing against Flinoy. I think he's a he's a good
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: young player. But my point is is that this team
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: is built to have two really great offensive you know weapons.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: That receiver they're not here. They weren't there for yesterday's practice.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: CD has been here. It's not saying he's not been here,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: but he wasn't there, and so and then and and
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: it's noticeable. So you know, judging how they look, it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: it's tough to do that. But are they lined up
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: the right way? Do they have some exotic looks? Blitz
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: is you know, it's all a chess matching and and
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: can can they call the right thing at the right time.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: It's it's kind of like in baseball. You know, everybody
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: can hit the fastball, and these guys a lot of
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: them can hit the curve ball. But it's when you're
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: thinking this and then the fastball comes that's you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it's all that chess match said. It's the same with defense.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: You know, when do we blitz, when do we when
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: do we back off? When do we you know, when
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: we moving the linebacker here, the safety goes back, you know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: one high safety, all that kind of stuff. It's all
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: about calling the game and that's something that Parker really
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: hasn't done before. So there's a lot lot there. I'm
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: not trying to dodge the question. I just think it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: a little bit early. I'm not going to go off
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: of practice when they don't have their top receivers on
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: the other side. But I think better than anything, it's
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: the players are loving it. The players love what they see.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: They that love the attention to detailed, they love the
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: way they're being coached and taught, and I think that
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: goes a long way. Let's go to break here for

  Speaker 4: by letting you know the break not not the show
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: of the break and the break here. You know, they
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: always get some great news and information stuff that I
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: would like to share. We're gonna hold off on that
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: till we get a little bit more confirmation. I'm kidding.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: It's not Cowboys related. It's not a trade or anything
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: like that. It's just a just another acquisition from coworkers.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phone lines. We got
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Lester in Minnesota. Lester, what's up?
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: What's up?
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: Nick?
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Cowboys Land. I'm doing good man. Hey, there's
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: been a lot of talk about the Rams, just the
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: RAMS that I just want to say a little bit
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: about that. I know it's not RAMS Radio, but I
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: just want to just say a little bit. You know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: since twenty seventeen, the coach McVay has been there. They
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: have a philosophy and a system. They just plug in
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: the players that fit that. So that's why they don't
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: really worry about their little picks because they created a
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: whole system and a philosophy and they just wherever they
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: need help at they go get it. And when they draft,
• 31:59
  Speaker 12: they draft that particular player for that particular spot. So
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: that's why they don't really worry about. Like I always say,
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: it's three thousand players to draft, so they can find
• 32:08
  Speaker 12: a player that fits whatever they're looking for. The other
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: thing I want to say is just a little off subject.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: And now we're going off subject, all right, awesome, go ahead.
• 32:26
  Speaker 12: Well, I'm just talking about generally speaking about the NFL,
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: I think once we do go to the eighteen game
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: eighteen game seasons, I think we should have two bys. Man.
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: I think we should just get rid of a couple
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: of preseason games, or maybe get rid of all of them,
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: I don't know. And they just put two buys in there.
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: I think that would help a lot if once we
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: go to that. I know we're going to go to that.
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: And then the last last thing I want to ask you, man,
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: what do you think about the OTAs that you've seen
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: so far? And with that, I'll say, go Cowboys this
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: off season. So I don't have much to say.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: All right, no, no problem, Thanks for the call, Lester.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: A lot of stuff there.
• 33:13
  Speaker 18: You know.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: The thing you mentioned this about the Rams and they
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: plug and play. I I don't know if that's different
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: than a lot of other teams, but but I'll but
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: I'll say this that they've they've done well at drafting
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: and for their you know, for their scheme. Like like
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Kyron Williams, I think was a fifth round pick and
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: he's been to a couple of Pro Bowls. It's really good,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: good you know, pick up for them. I can't think
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: of the running backs name from Michigan, the Lake Corum,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I believe is his name. Yeah, I mean, and he's
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: he's the backup. And he wasn't a first round pick either,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: and then of course Pukin and Akua was you know,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: he was an third round, fourth round pick. But but
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: he's one of the best receivers in the game. So
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: when you have a system that works and they've had
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: good consistency there as far as continuity and the coaching staff,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: and then you can plug those those guys in. That's
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: why continuity is so important. You can't just you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: fire a coach because they go because they go eight
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: nine or whatever it is, or you know, even a
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: losing season they got let them build it. And I
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: think that you know, the Rams have done a great
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: job with that. They've won and they have a different
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: philosophy and it works for them and they're one of
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: the best teams. You know, they have to win the
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl this year obviously with the move that they made.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: That's that's the pressure of the run. But they've got
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: the team that can certainly do that.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Some of the other stuff you talk about eighteen game schedule,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: the eighteen game schedule is not going to change anything
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: as far as overall, because it's twenty games. They're gonna
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: play twenty games, whether they be like right now, you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: it was sixteen and then four preseason, now it's seventeen
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: and three. You know what, I'm not a math major,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: but I can tell you it's gonna be eighteen and two.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, and you're gonna and it's a lot. It'll
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: be even that way too. Everyone has the same amount
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: of home games, same amount of road games. Preseasons the
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: same you play one in one that that's probably how
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: that will be now. But but factor this and the
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: league is trying to I mean, Roger Goodell's made it
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: very clear that he wants to have sixteen international games
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: a year. Again, let's do math. Sixteen international games, two
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: teams per game. That's thirty two teams. Guess what, everybody's
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: going to be playing international at some point, so that
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: that'll factor into your eighteen game schedule. That will also
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: factor into the buys two preseason games. You know, then
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: they start probably start a little bit, you know earlier,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to start. I think they're at the
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: start of the season, before or during Labor Day that
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: that's the way it used to be, and I think
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: that they're gonna have to get back to that, especially
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: if they're adding another significant game. And like you said,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I think they have to get a buy in there,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: which which would make sense to you know, you should
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: get one in the first nine weeks of the of
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: the schedule, or you know, and then or ten weeks
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: or whatever, should get one in the second half as well.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: It's kind of structure that way, you know. I mean,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: chat GPT can can figure that out for them if
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: they're not doing it already. All right, j R. And Avindale,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: what's up man?
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: How you doing?
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Nick? How are you doing today?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Doing great? Doing great? Probably got my shoulder rehabs, so
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: you got that all behind me. So going forward. Now
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: there's only ninety four days so the first Saturday of football,
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: so even more reason to be fired up.
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: So I like.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Everything the Cowboys have done. I like a lot of
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: new coaches, a lot of new players. I think they're
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: still missing one guy. So I was watching that movie
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Major League the other night, and I know I've I've
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: quoted different quotes from that movie before, but I like
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: the movie. I know you know the one that I'm
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: talking about.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's classic. What's your favorite what's your favorite line?
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: What is the favorite quote? Is there one one that
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: you can say on the air?
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, where it's like give him the heat or
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: you know that's that's that's my favorite lines from the
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: whole movie, or the one where Lou where Sarrano is
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: hitting it out of the park and they say, yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: he he hits with a lot of power, and Lou
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Brown says, yeah, it gets a bunch of guys that'll
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: be bagging groceries next week. So so I like that
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: line as well. But anyway, I'm watching the movie and
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: I realized the Cowboys are missing one player. They need
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: a Jake Taylor. You know, Jake Taylor's Berenger's character's playing
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: in the in the Mexican Leagues and he's been from forever.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: It's at the end of his career, but he's just
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: that guy. So Hebritt comes in. He's he's the emotional
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: leader of the team, he's the moral compet of the
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: team a lot of times, and he's a minister to
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: all these young guys. And the Cowboys have all these
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: young guys and all these new guys. He's a go
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: between between management and the players and the coaches and
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: the players. Would Ricky Vaughan bey after his deal with
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Dorn's wife if Jake wasn't there to fix it right?
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: And then uh William As he's a young player with
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: all telling, but he doesn't know how to be a professional.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: So so who's Who's Jake Taylor? Is there a Jake
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Taylor out there?
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Oh no, it's I'm getting to who Jake. The Cowboys
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Jake Taylor needs to be. But so he and he's
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: just that guy that he keeps everything in order. He's
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: just drives a team to go for the championship. And
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: I think the Cowboys Jake Taylor's Bobby Wagner. I really
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: think they need a guy like that. So he's been
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: playing football and a pro since a lot of these
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: young guys were in Gramar school. I'd like to see
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: them go out and get him. I think he's a
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: guy they need to kind of tie it all together. Anyway,
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: That's all I got, And I'm a great dame, Nick,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: and go Cowboys.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: All right. Thanks appreciate that I had a feeling you
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: were gonna get you were going that route. I don't.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, he's he plays from Washington, He's
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: not exactly in the Mexican League. And that that is
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: the quote in the movie. So by the way of
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: where Jake Taylor uh says he's been playing. But yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean that, you know, that's a
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: movie so obviously, and and he that guy couldn't run
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: anymore and emotional leader or whatever? Do they do? They
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: need a leader on this team? You know, it's I
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: think I think a guy like Bobby Wagner can help
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: that way, but he's got to be able to be,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: you know, a player. I mean a guy that that's
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: going to be out there and play a lot. Can
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: he still can he still run? Can he still do
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: those things? I think the Cowboys are going to give
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: it a go with what they have here with with
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: d winners and and and overshown and and and then
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: some of the backup guys behind him. I I don't
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: know if they look at it that they're one player away.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe they they should.
• 40:00
  Speaker 17: But.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: You know, bringing in a guy late to be the
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: leader that seems off to me because we're over here
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: talking about Pickens, Like where's Pickins this is valuable time
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: that he's missing. You're gonna bring in a guy at
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: this stage and he's gonna come be the leader. Like,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I mean, I don't think
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: that they think that way because that that that that
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't I mean, if you're gonna bring in a guy
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: later in the season, he's gonna kind of have to
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: come in do do his thing, you know, just rush
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the pass or be a good corner, whatever it is.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: But to be kind of a heartbeat green dot of
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: the of the defense, you need to be here. This
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: is the this is the time when when that stuff's happening.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: So I don't I just don't think the Cowboys see
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: it the same way. I'm not saying they're gonna not
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: add some help, but a guy. From from what you're
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: talking about, I think they would have done that already
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: if if if that was what they were really gonna
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: try to do. All right, let's go to uh William
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: in West Virginia. William, what's up, Nick?
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: How'll we doing? Sorry?
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Playing baseball over there in West Virginia is from what
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I from what I gather, I.
• 41:08
  Speaker 15: Know a buddy of mine who works making graphic designer
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: T shirts is actually one of the ones making the
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: shirts for the College World Si neils to say. My
• 41:20
  Speaker 15: daughter is already put in a request for one. He's
• 41:22
  Speaker 15: a procure one.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Let's get one. Yeah, Well, speaking of T shirts, I'll
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: be sending the storyline went out hopefully by the end
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: of this week. I know it's kind of it takes
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: me a little bit of time there, but uh yeah,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: I know West Virginia College World Series is going on
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: or going on? I guess did this weekend coming up?
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: West Virginia made it, and they're they're kind of flying
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: on the radar, but watch out, obviously watch out for them.
• 41:44
  Speaker 15: All right, Well, sir, my question is, is now where
• 41:48
  Speaker 15: Christian Parker's defense? You know, we're They had a real
• 41:51
  Speaker 15: good topic on the fan the other day. I love
• 41:53
  Speaker 15: listening to the Fan. They had a question I want
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: to get your take on it. Do you think Christian
• 41:58
  Speaker 15: Parker's scheme with require an elite edge Rusher? Because I
• 42:02
  Speaker 15: like our young edge Rushers as a rockco and Malachi
• 42:04
  Speaker 15: Lawrence and is better. I would just wonder what your
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: tape would be. Do you think his scheme would I mean,
• 42:10
  Speaker 15: everybody like to have an elite Rusher. Yeah, I think
• 42:12
  Speaker 15: we can get about what we have.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: What do you think on that?
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Well, it's how how disruptive do you do you really
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: want to be? I mean like, uh, yeah, I think
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: that they would love to have that. Yes, I think
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: any scheme would love to have a guy that can
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: get to the quarterback and hit the quarterback. It's gonna
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: make everybody better. The corners are better, the safeties are
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: better than your linebackers are better when when you don't
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: have to cover as long and the quarterbacks looking at
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: his ear hole as when he gets up and he's
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: he's wondering, who you know? Where? Where's where's the path? Rusher?
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Here?
• 42:41
  Speaker 12: Is he over?
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: Is he here?
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: So?
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think I think it certainly helps. But do
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: you have one stud one guy or do you have
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: four or five really good ones and together they you know,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: that's obviously we saw that with with Seattle. But I mean,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: they're not drafting Malkay Lawrence if they don't think he's
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: got some some skills to be that kind of elite guy.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's a decordinator out there that wouldn't just,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: you know, love to have that. Does this defense need it?
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: We'll find out. We'll find out. But but I think that,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, they would certainly love to have that guy
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: that's screaming.
• 43:20
  Speaker 15: Well in the in the draft. I'll tell you, Whenever
• 43:23
  Speaker 15: Bain was gone, Malkay Lawrence was the next guy I
• 43:25
  Speaker 15: wanted to beget, and they're glad they got him because God,
• 43:27
  Speaker 15: those rushers. Rushers do go quick, for sure.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: But but hold on, let me let me just say this,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: as far as what Christian Parker's defense needs, let's don't
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: let's don't forget Baine was there. You know what I mean,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: Bain was was available. They weren't trying to go up
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: there to get Baine. They wanted Caleb downs that they
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: thought what he is going to be able to bring
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: is more valuable. Maybe if if Bain was grated higher,
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: that could have been different. But but so that I
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: think they already showed us a little bit of what
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Christian Parker wants. He's a smart guy and he wants
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: another smart guy back there running this thing first. Then
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: from there we'll see what we can get, which is
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: what they did with mile Kyle Lawrence. But it wasn't
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: the other way around, because they could have been and
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: there's people that that that say, hey, what why what
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: if they would have gotten.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Bain and in the twenty Yeah what yah?
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Forget Notodeau? What's what's the Oregon's name? Was the rusher? Yeah,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: they would love to have him also, Yeah, the great
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: great combination there of of you know, would you rather
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: have this or that? We'll see, But Miles Kyle Lawrence
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: is making some plays out there. Again, as I prefaced,
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: the offense is not at full strength. It's the offense, uh,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: you know, it's off season. We'll see, but but he's
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: his athleticism is showing, and that that's a good sign
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I think for this point.
• 44:52
  Speaker 15: Sir, all right, thank you, Nick, I appreciate it.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Great job you too. Thanks William. All right, let's move
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: over to Illinois. Davey on what's up?
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Dude?
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: What to do?
• 45:04
  Speaker 13: My boy?
• 45:05
  Speaker 15: What to do?
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Are you are you going to going to camp? Are
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: you are you on that group going to training camp?
• 45:13
  Speaker 13: I'll be on a cruise when y'all start training camp,
• 45:15
  Speaker 13: So I won't make it this year because my wife
• 45:18
  Speaker 13: will probably uh she'll put the yeah hammer down, like no,
• 45:23
  Speaker 13: you can't go right back. After we just got back
• 45:25
  Speaker 13: from a cruise. So I'll be on cruise this year,
• 45:26
  Speaker 13: so I won't be able to make it this year.
• 45:27
  Speaker 13: But if we do it again next year, yeah yeah
• 45:30
  Speaker 13: i'll be I'll bet yeah.
• 45:32
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: The wife's always going to have the hammer, so I mean, yeah, yeah,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: it's not you said she's gonna put it down. She's
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: got it. She holds it the whole time.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: I respect her, but I'm just saying I have some
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: experience in that, you know. So yeah, I'm the nail. Okay, anyways,
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: what's up, dude.
• 45:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well he helped me down. Your day's my birthday?
• 45:58
  Speaker 13: Oh birthday, man, I appreciate it. Uh yeah, good time.
• 46:03
  Speaker 13: She uh, she does well hold me down. And I was,
• 46:06
  Speaker 13: you know, sit back thinking a couple of things. I
• 46:10
  Speaker 13: saw I heard j R. Call, and I was he
• 46:14
  Speaker 13: was kind of I kind of understand where he was
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: coming from, but I think he was talking about the
• 46:17
  Speaker 13: wrong position. I was, if I'm gonna get a grizzly
• 46:21
  Speaker 13: veterans that just come in and just be a glue
• 46:24
  Speaker 13: kind of guy, or kind of be just a guy
• 46:27
  Speaker 13: that comes kind of help the team in the back end,
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: for like just showing the young ass stuff, I would
• 46:32
  Speaker 13: go Von Miller or something like that, somebody that's been
• 46:35
  Speaker 13: that's probably been wanting to be on the Capitol for years,
• 46:37
  Speaker 13: but we just didn't never really win and fish that way.
• 46:40
  Speaker 13: And I think he could be coming in and be
• 46:41
  Speaker 13: uh in the road and be just basically be dpr
• 46:45
  Speaker 13: and just basically get out the quarterback. And they had
• 46:47
  Speaker 13: like nine sects last year so for Washington, So I
• 46:50
  Speaker 13: think that would be somebody if you wanted to get
• 46:52
  Speaker 13: a grizzly veteran that just come in and do some
• 46:54
  Speaker 13: hep out some stuff.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I think that.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: What about the guy, you know, Clowning.
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: Brown, I think something about I've been hearing that he's
• 47:03
  Speaker 13: uh wait, somebody that something of the system just ain't
• 47:07
  Speaker 13: gonna fit. So I don't know what each what that means.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: I guess I'm not buying that because because Jadevin Clowney
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: has played for every football team in the NFL, I
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: mean pretty much. Okay, he's played for every team, every
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: every system three or four four three everything. He's a
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: football player. He knows how to get to the quarterback.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: And you know, I saw some things last year that
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: at the end of the season where you know, he's
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: he's he's chatting up, hanging out like on road games
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: with like the youngest guys the you know, he's he's
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: a I think it's just one, you know, a couple
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: of snapshots. But I think he's a pretty good team
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: guy and and and a veteran. I mean, he's not
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: just this old guy that just kind of does his
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: own thing. And I don't know anything about von Miller.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying I think there's some benefits from having
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: a guy like Clowney that I saw last year and
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: and you know, last game of the year and he's
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: playing what's he playing for? Broll. He goes out and
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: gets three sacks, you know, and it didn't lead to
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: a country, But I don't think he wants one right now,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like I he says that
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: he said he wanted to be in a team for
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: the offseason. But this guy can get off the couch
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: and go make plays. He can do that, and we've
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: seen it. And so that's what's gonna happen. And the
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: highest bidder when somebody's gonna get hurt and need some
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: help at pass rush and he's gonna be waiting for
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: the goal and he's going to be really good for them,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: and so I think the Cowboys are probably like a
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: few teams of let's see what's out there, Let's see
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: what we have right now, what the need really like,
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: and that's Sam. Sam's the key. I think I think
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Sam is gonna this offseason like they really want to
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: see what they've got with him, to see if they
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: maybe need to go get some other help.
• 48:58
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, Jerry Well, in my opinion, jury's out
• 49:01
  Speaker 13: on Sam. Like he had this key, had a couple
• 49:03
  Speaker 13: of shots that he just didn't work out. But we'll
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: see with Sam. I like clowning too. I think that'd
• 49:10
  Speaker 13: be second in line if they try to do something
• 49:12
  Speaker 13: they just won't get a greatly vet. So my question
• 49:15
  Speaker 13: is for hop off next week his manator. So it
• 49:20
  Speaker 13: should everybody, everybody should be we ain't got two major injuries.
• 49:23
  Speaker 13: I think that you know, you talked about the center
• 49:25
  Speaker 13: with the neck and a rocker working back from his
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: help and all that kind of stuff. But other outside
• 49:30
  Speaker 13: the injuries, what is the most important thing that you're
• 49:32
  Speaker 13: looking forward to next week when everybody's here and doing
• 49:35
  Speaker 13: some things.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, uh, I mean, I'm not going to
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: go away from the obvious. You know, I want to
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: see what you know, if Pickens is here, I want
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: to see how how he does, how he performs. I
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: really think the off season last year, I think the
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: offense benefited from the fact when you think about you know,
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: CD wasn't there two years ago, really in the off
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: season and training camp all that, and then you know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: he had a good season, but he didn't have like
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: a phenomenal year. And I think I think having those
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: guys there last year really helped helped the offense kind
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: of roll into the season. And so I would hope
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: that they can get that to get that momentum and
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: definitely by you know, training camp kind of get it going.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: So I think it's how Pickens comes back at what
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: the offense looks like and what Fllinoy's role is when
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: when there is those two guys on the outside. I
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: think Illinoy can be a really good player for this
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: team too.
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think again, I think I think for Ruffalo
• 50:36
  Speaker 13: would be good. I really hope that GP comes. I
• 50:40
  Speaker 13: think it'll be that. I ain't worry about it.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, all right, David, I appreciate it. Have
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: a good one. Let's uh, let's keep it going on
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: the phone lines one more time before we go to
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: break Josh in Chicago.
• 50:52
  Speaker 14: So, Josh, Hey, that's how you doing.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: I'm good man, how are you?
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: Oh?
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: My my White Socks are playing well. You know, we
• 50:59
  Speaker 14: just beat the Zach from Atlanta Baseball Braves last night
• 51:01
  Speaker 14: and walk off. So I'm living high, man, I'm on.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: Vacation and it's going on with these White Socks.
• 51:06
  Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, man, I'm loving it. I'm loving you
• 51:09
  Speaker 14: know what though. The thing about them that's kind of
• 51:11
  Speaker 14: parallel to the Cowboys is they have a lot of
• 51:13
  Speaker 14: young players who are stepping up right now, and that's
• 51:15
  Speaker 14: what the Cowboys need this season.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's different sport obviously, with different with
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: different you know, salary cap and all that. It's just
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: it's it's so hard for those teams. You know, the
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: NFL is designed for everybody to be the same, not
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: the same in baseball. So when it happens and you
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: get a season like this, either you know, a you
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: make a movie about it, like Moneyball, or you know,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: you know, you just right right the way. But it's
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: it's it's good, and especially for a historic franchise that's
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: been down a little bit to have forever, especially a
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: team that is never I hate to say it, but
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: you're not ever going to be treated number one in
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: your own city, not not all the time.
• 51:56
  Speaker 14: So I live it, man, I live it, even though
• 51:57
  Speaker 14: we beat them up last last month.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: So sorry, this is very sounded like mix shots here
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: with white Sox.
• 52:03
  Speaker 14: We got some's that's that's my kid. I told her
• 52:06
  Speaker 14: we could get in the pool as soon as I'm
• 52:08
  Speaker 14: done with the phone call.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: But I just wanted to call.
• 52:09
  Speaker 14: I was reading Tommy Irsh's article about BT Jordan, and
• 52:13
  Speaker 14: I was going to ask you if you've seen anything
• 52:15
  Speaker 14: from him. I think that he's been probably very helpful
• 52:18
  Speaker 14: for the past rush. And I'll take you off the
• 52:20
  Speaker 14: air after that on who again, I did not hear
• 52:22
  Speaker 14: who oh bt Jordan the consult the Russian consultant that
• 52:25
  Speaker 14: they got.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, okay, cool. You know
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's early, you know, the thing, the thing
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: about the off season and the rushers and stuff like that.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: Like last year, I thought the defensive training camp looked
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: pretty good and you really weren't. Okay, well, who's who's not?
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Mike is not here? And but he's going to be back.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: You know that that was the thing. He's going to
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: be back to back. So no one really looked at
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: it like these are the guys, but they still held
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: their own and did pretty pretty good. What we didn't
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: realize was that the offensive tackles needed some help too.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: So it's really tough to kind of gauge that when
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: you're thinking about question marks on your team. See like,
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: if the corners came out and did really well against
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Pickens and CD, you're like, wow, these guys are pretty good.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: But if your pass rush wins the one on one
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: battles against these tackles, you don't automatically just be like, well,
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: you know, we got a great path rush. You're gonna
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: be like it's geting's geting?
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: Steel? What's wrong with Steel?
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: Or Nay Thomas. Maybe he's not the answer, you know
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: what I mean, You're gonna question that. And if they
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: did dominate, those guys did dominate on this side, then
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: you'd look at the pass rushers and be like the
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: worst clowney wor'son Miller? You know you would do it
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: that way. So that's what makes it tough to evaluate
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: what I'm trying to say, is that you're talking about
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: two question mark areas defensive line or pass rush and
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: offensive tackle. But you know, we'll see if they can
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: kind of win some, lose some and and help each
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: other out and along the way. Then you know, we'll
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: find out when it's really time to find out. But
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: that's the time. That's the part, because I wouldn't say
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: either one of those sides of the balls extremely established.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: It's got to break here on Cowboys third line. I'll
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: be right back after this.

• 55:55
  Speaker 6: Hey, mister Nick, you doing all right?
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: I'm doing good?
• 55:57
  Speaker 11: How are you?
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: Are you there?
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Chris?
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: I had a question. I'm thinking this year a fast start.
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: You know, will be needed.
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: You know, we got the new defense and then we
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: want the offense to you know, either maintain or even
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: possibly improve. Now, Nick, I was listening to on my
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: way home from work, listening to an AM nine to
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: sixty sports talk, which, let's face it, that makes me
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: a nerd, but that's what I was listening to. And
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: they were talking they're around the NFL talking about quarterbacks,
• 56:38
  Speaker 6: and they mentioned like the Arizona quarterback situation. They said,
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: you know, they really aren't getting the most out of
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior that they want to. And I sit
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: there thinking, wait a minute, I saw Marvin Harrison play
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: give the Cowboys it look like We'rerandy Moss, right, And
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: then they started talking about Minnesota's quarterback JJ McCarthy and
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: how he's underachieving. And I'm sitting there thinking, I saw
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: him play against the Cowboys.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: And defense was bad last year. Is that what we're
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: trying to get? Is that what we're getting at here
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: in the defense?
• 57:21
  Speaker 6: Or that's where I'm going? Okay, So I want to
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: see what you think. Do you Are you confident enough
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: in this to believe that the Cowboys will win games
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: that they air quotes should win this year? And I
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: know it's hard to say they should win any game,
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: but let's face it, the first two games of the season,
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: they should win those games. Yeah, so I wonder where
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: your confidence level at this point is in making that
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: kind of an improvement that there won't be those disastrous.
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think I think it all comes
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: down that's where coaching comes into play to me. Uh
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: and thanks thanks for the call, Chris, I really do.
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: And I really like how how you the calls that
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: you make. You you're really thinking about stuff and kind
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: of you know, not just asking you know, just generic stuff.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: It's just kind of like next level things, which is good,
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: especially in the middle of June here, But to me,
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: and it's not just football, it could be any any sports,
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: basketball or whatever. When when you're like, you got to
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: win the games you're supposed to win, And that comes
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: down to coaching to me, and and and leadership and
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: you know, the preparation of the week, which I've talked
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: about all the time about how important it is during
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: the middle of the week. But that's where you know,
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: if you do things the right way and you and
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: you prepare, doesn't matter if you're playing a one in
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: five team whatever, You've got to make sure you go
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: out and prepare the right way to go take care
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: of business and you know, get off the field early
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: and knock them, you know, don't don't give them any
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: hope and things like that, and and the Cowboys aren't
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: going to be really that tape. I mean, a lot
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: of these games are going to be close. They're gonna
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: come down to it. That's why I like having h
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: one of the better kickers in the league, because these
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: games are gonna come down to the end, and you know,
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: sometimes they come down to big clutch kicks like that.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: But you know, to me, it's if you're gonna those
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: games where you think you should win, then then your
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: preparation has to be, you know, great all the time.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: I think back to that game a few years ago
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: in Arizona where they were two and not in last
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: year's game, you could throw that out there too. That
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: was a game they should have won, and they just didn't.
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: Their offense didn't didn't play well in that game at all.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know the defense didn't play well. Marvin Harrison,
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: you know, had his best game of the season, but
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: I don't remember the offense going up and down the
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: field either, so you know, it just wasn't a good game.
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: But I think about the one a few years ago
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: back in week three, and they didn't have any linemen
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: and you know, they were they were, they were hurt there,
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: but they they gave up like two hundred and twenty
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: yards rushing to James Connor. You know, they just weren't
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: prepared that mentally. Just it wasn't a good week for them.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: So and if I remember correctly, Trayvon Diggs got hurt
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the week and lost for the season.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: So it was that was a tough time. But but
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: it just goes to show that that you have to
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: be mentally prepared every single week, regardless of the opponent.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: And I think that's where we're coaching and leadership and
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: the message that sent really goes a long long way.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: All Right, we got Donald in Thailand. What's up? I
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: know this first time caller, what's up?

  Speaker 4: Awesome, Well, we appreciate that and thank you for the call.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: Do you have any questions or anything else?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm just gonna say that I really feel good
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: about our team, and I'm not sure what to expect,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: to be honest. For from the defense, I hope it's good,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: but you never know until you see it. Make sure
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: that I do feel good about the age to y'all sense,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: and I do feel good about the coach and offensive
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: coordinator keeping it fresh so nobody can tie our guys down.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel really good.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well, well let's see if we if
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: they have a good season and and that hope that
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: you're a lot of fans have, not just you, a
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: lot of fans have. We'll see if it actually plays
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: out the way that everyone thinks it could. So all right, well,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: thank you for the call, and uh definitely going to
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: get it here we go in over in Thailand. That's awesome.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I always appreciate the callers, uh as I say it
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: all the time, to call it international fans. I mean,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: it's just hard to be a fan. It's hard. It's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: hard to be a fan of living right here, you know,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: so's I could see being a fan, you know, somewhere else.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: And then having, you know, wake up in the middle
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: of the night and watch your team or watch the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: scores or whatever it is. So we appreciate your support
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: and good luck over there. All right, I think that's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: gonna wrap it for us. We have a lull in
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: the calls. It's a good time to end it. We
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: got cowboys break here in a little bit.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: I got one of you on one. You want to call,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: we have to.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: We're gonna. Yeah, if you're coming in hot like that,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: we got to take out Dylan.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Let's get them on now.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: You know what, We're gonna end the show. We don't
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: have any good callers. We're gonna Dylan, what's up?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 18: Well, now I feel the pressure.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: Dude.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 18: You held the phones open just for me.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: Sheesh.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, this will be our last caller, Dylan, close
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: it out the right way. What's up?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 18: Yeah, dude, I just want to say I'll go fast.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 18: But I am starting to feel a certain way about
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 18: this team, and it's really unrealistic.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: I think the.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 18: Excitement levels that I have here in the middle of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 18: the middle of summer. Everything that I wanted this team
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 18: to accomplish in the offseason, they essentially went out and
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: accomplished knowing this is probably a two year defensive rebuild.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 18: I think they got this thing built to at least
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 18: be serviceable on defense. Man, this offense is assuming that
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 18: Pickens is going to be here, which I'm pretty sure
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 18: he'll be here, and everything is on the up and
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 18: up with the comments for getting about Jayden Blue coming
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 18: along and this competition at left tackle. Everything I wanted
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 18: the coach to say and do everything I wanted the
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 18: team to do in this offseason.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: Dude, it's all.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 18: Coming together and I'm saying some crazy things right now
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 18: on social media.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: I'm getting hyped.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 18: I don't think I've been this hype for a season
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 18: in a long time, and I consider myself to be
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 18: pretty realistic for the most part. I don't know what's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 18: going on, but I feel a certain way about this team,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 18: and I was just wondering, man, how you feel about
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 18: this team going into the season. Maybe you can hit
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 18: that real quick before we hang up.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you know the thing is, Dylan, it's it's I
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: think it's like a ninety song, the hook will bring
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: you back. I mean, it always happens. So the vicious
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: cycle of like you get excited about this the team,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: and that's what being a fan is about. But I
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: don't think you're wrong in that, because you know, in
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: the NFL you can be with a seven eight and one,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: I mean seven eight and one, but you're three or
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: four players away from not not competing for a championship necessarily,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: but three or four players away from winning some of
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: these games that you felt like you could have won
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: three wins, three wins, take the tie away and two
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: other wins. Now you know, now now you're sitting there
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: what ten you know? Ten and seven?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: So that that changes a lot to me, and and
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: that now you're in the playoffs and now you are
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: competing necessarily for a championship. So I don't think you're
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: wrong for that. You know the defense was was bad,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: but you're asking the defense to be the best. You're
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: asking it to to you know, be decent. Just you
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: just want decent. And I think you can get to
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: from bad to decent in one year with some of
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: the moves that have been made, and then you get
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: to decent on defense, the offense can stay what it was,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: then you can win some of those games.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 14: So I don't think you're unrealistic.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 18: The defense you need right now is a defense you
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 18: got against the Raiders, the Eagles, and the Chiefs during
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 18: that direction. I think this team is one thousand percent
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 18: capable of bringing that every single week at this point
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 18: in time.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. I think the combination of Quinn Williams
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: and Kenny Clark and and and then the guys behind
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: him too, I mean, I think you're gonna have a
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: pretty good, steady rotation of of interior defensive guys. You
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: got to stay relatively healthy, you know, you can't have
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: those major injuries, which they happen and then but somebody
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: has to make that lead. You know, it's not just
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: going to be downs and winners, and you know it's
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: it's somebody that we've talked about on this show, whether
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: it's over shown, whether it's it's Sam Williams, you know
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: this Bland comeback. What if it's Rebel. I mean, somebody
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: has to make that jump that that you're not really expecting.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: It can't just be the draft picks and the new players.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: There's just not enough of them. Somebody think it'll.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 18: Be as a Rocker, I don't think he's going to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 18: talk about enough. You have the second most pressures of
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 18: any rookie.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: Edge player.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 18: Last year, he's going to get because there's a no
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 18: coverage in the secondary.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: Had no time.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah time for second.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: Well you know that's I'm for it, you know. And
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: he looks, you know, the knock on him a little
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: bit light last year was a rookie. He looks the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: part I think this year. So yeah, he's he's another
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: one to be really excited about. And if he's the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: guy that makes the lead, I mean think about it.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: If as a roku, which he was the first round,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: you know, I you know, it's funny. I gotta tell
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: this story real quick. I was judged we for the Emmys.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: You know, if you're if you're in the local Emmys,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: you know you try to, you know, win these awards,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: but you also have to judge other places. So I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: had to judge. I listened to about fifteen stories or
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: fifteen shows for Washington Baltimore area. Listen to a lot
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: of Santana Moss and Washington and stuff like that. But
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: one their draft preview was funny. They were talking about
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: two guys at the end of the first round that
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: they really really want, one of them being Donovant as
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: a roku, the other one being someone Revel, and it
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: was like one guy was like, we could get either
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: one of these two and late in the first round,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: it'll be a great pick for us. And it's just
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: funny how as Roku slipped a little bit, Revel definitely
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: fell into the third round and was sitting here thinking, Wow,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys got both of these these players that Washington
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: was trying to get in the first round. I just
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: thought that was kind of interesting, just the show, the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: talent that these guys have.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 18: Yeah, one hundred percent, either one of those guys can
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 18: jump out this year.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: It'd be a big I know.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 18: If there's some good words about Rebel not playing with
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 18: the Brave and looking good. So that's another guy to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 18: keep an eye on for sure.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: All Right, dyal Than appreciate the call. All Right, we'll
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: be back next week. Next week will be our last
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: show of the offseason. Last one of the offseason. Uh
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: so we got one more to go. Hear from you. Guys,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: had good twelve calls today, good show from everyone. Appreciate that.

• 1:09:56

• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys football Club,
