  Speaker 4: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Wednesday, March the twelfth.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: It is the first official day of the free agent
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: signing period. But free agency is certainly already underway.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We know this, and the.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Cowboys are, surprise, surprise, been relatively involved. They've they've got
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: some some things happening here. I had to write some
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: of them down. I mean, that's how many things have
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: already taken place here. Nothing earth shattering, but still I
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: think just just a few moves here and there, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: that that the Cowboys have made, you know, some to
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: be excited about, some somewhat expected. You know this, They're
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: gonna bar and shop. We know that. That's what that's
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: what they do, and that's what that's what selectively aggressive means.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: But but so far, you know, the Cowboys have have
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: have made a few moves here and there. They've signed
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: some of their players. Some have are expected to sign
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: it elsewhere, and that was also expected to So eight
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven is
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the number to call. I'll have my cell phone handy
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: here and trying to keep track of things that are
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: that are happening as we speak. But uh, I want
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: to hear from you guys, see what you think on
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: some of the moves. I can run them down or
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I can just let them. They'll be discussed here as
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: you guys will talk and what we'll sure we'll probably
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: touch on all of the things that have happened.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So let's do that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Let's start us off with Casey Joe, I assumes in
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Kansas City.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, what's up man?
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: How are you doing today?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I am good. What's up with you?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I was they're in the draft, not the draft, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: where they doing. The players at Jackson Dart looks really
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: good out of Mississippi. I know we might not need
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: a quarterback, but might not be bad to put one
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: on the shelf, you know, in case Dak gets hurt again.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Which game did you watch?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I was watching, not the game, but where they did
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: the tryouts.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: He looked good.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: And then that running back from sm you, the one
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: with the little mustang on the side, That running book
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: looks quick. Yeah, I know, I know, I don't I
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: know we may not get Gentry the one we were
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: looking at, but if we don't get him, i'd really
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: like to see him. Take a look at him.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm not honestly, I'm not familiar with
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: his name. I think I know who you're talking about. Yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: for them, but you know, I'm not one hundred percent
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: sure who that is.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I know Jackson Dart following him in the SEC and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: you know he's he's got the arm talent for sure,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: but he's you know, he's had some like he's kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: of a gunslinger. That's what it looks like to me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: The Florida game is the one that is gonna be
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: puzzling for a lot of teams, just the way he
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: just kept throwing it and getting an interception and then
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: throwing it and get another interception. He's got some really
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: good talent though, and he's got a strong arm. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: you know, he'll he's probably moving himself up into this,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: maybe even the first round.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: So Yeah, the one signing that we had that I
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: was happy was was keeping Turpin. Yeah, really happy with Turpin.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: And I think we kept our punter too, didn't we.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, Brian Anger that he agreed to terms last
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: night on a deal.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Special Teams looking pretty good. Uh, well, obviously lost the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: coach John Fossil. Nick Sorenson takes over, but he's gonna
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: have pretty much the core seeing this snapper. Uh, he's
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: gonna have the core guys, because when you think about
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: like the five main guys, the snapper, the kicker, the punter,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the main kick returner, and your main special team's ace,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: which is CJ. Goodwin, that they they've kept all of them.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Aubrey's obviously not a free agent this year, but the
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: whole course coming back, aside from the coach, so not bad,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: not bad for those guys.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: I want to let.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Everybody else get in, So I just wanted to say
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: good morning, and you have a great day to day.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, I appreciate it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Thanks so much, Casey, Joe, thanks for calling. And I'm
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: not sure if you're going to just hand the phone
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: over if you're next to your man, Brian, but Brian
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: in Kansas City is next Brian.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: Good morning, sir?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right. We got
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: some beautiful weather here and enjoying that instead of sub
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: zero temperature as the last couple of times I.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Called Brian, No, I know, we don't talk about the weather.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's free agency. Let's go, let's go.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: So you know, the one thing that I was a
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: little disappointed in is after they cleared all the cap space,
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: I thought they would keep jaylu When I looked at
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: the contract that the Jaguars sound into, I know it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: being reported as a three year deal, but it's really
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: a two year deal because the third year they can
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: get out of it for a three million dollar cap hit.
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: I was just really surprised that they cleared all that room,
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: and then the draft and develop strategy didn't come into
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: play there because he's probably you know, depends on who
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: you look at, you know who you know, people that
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: rank players, but he's probably on every board in the NFL,
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: a top five Nickel corner, and at least one of
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: them he's number one.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: I was just a little you know, when I say surprised,
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: what I mean is annoyed.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: Nick.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so ten million a year you want that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: So that's not really what he got. When I looked
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: at the contract, he got five. The cap hit this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: Year is five, next year is twelve the third year,
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: they can get out of it for only a three
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: million dollar tap hit. That to me, if you cleared
• 6:05
  Speaker 10: fifty million off of your cap and that's after osa
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: that Yeah, I think if he's considering that right now,
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: we only have one healthy, proven corner on the team.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: That's my issue. So anyway, my question, my question for
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: you is, you know, is so you know, based on
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: what you've seen so far, and I'm I'm with the
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: with with Joe, you know, I'm glad to see their
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: resigned terp based but what based on what you've seen
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: on the resignings and the outside guys, has this changed
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: your view of what our needs are? So to me,
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: corner just skyrocketed to the top. Right all we got
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: is bland and then a bunch of guys. Yeah, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: that's that's skyrocketed. And of course linebacker, I mean, we're
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: you know, I don't know, you know, I don't know
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: that we could play a game tomorrow unless we're putting
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: out the special teamers, you know at linebacker. So that's
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: that's my opinion. And I'll hang up and listen, brother,
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Good to talk to you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Good, good to talk to you, you know, And going
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: back to the Jordan Lewis thing. You know, you can
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: you can dissect all of the contracts, and you should
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: because it's it's very you know, unless it's a one
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: year deal, it's you know, it's pretty rare that it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: straight up exactly the way it looks. I mean, Marquise
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Bell signed him three year, twelve million a year. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: mean twelve you know, twelve million total. That's not exactly
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: that way. It's you know, a lot of interurpence is
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: the same thing, three for eighteen, but you know it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: really more four and a half a year, and then
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: he can get up to eighteen million based off incentives.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: And from what I learned, those incentives are really more
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: offensive based catches, yards, touchdowns on offense, not so much
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: kick returns, not accolades on Pro Bowls and All Pro.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It's more about if he plays offense to the to
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the tune of so many catchers and yards that they
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: put in there, so he can get those incentives. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: you know, it has to be more than what he
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: did last year, which you know he had I think
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: maybe four hundred five hundred yards. He hit five hundred
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: receiving yards. He was the only player in the NFL
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: last year with a thousand kick return yards and a
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: five hundred receiving yards.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So he's got some value. Cowboys kept him for sure.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: As far as the needs go, I mean, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I think your needs, your needs are going to be
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: great players. And so when it comes to the draft,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: you're still going to draft, you know, the best players possible.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Like you said, linebackers is very thin right now. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: cornerback as well, so that's still a need. That's what
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you want to do is kind of get rid of
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: all your needs to go play a game and then
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: try to go on top of that, I think with
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: with with quality players in the draft. But yeah, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: they're not done. I mean but but you know, clearing
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: up the cap space was to was to go and
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and sign players add add them to this football team.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, they that that's one thing that a lot
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: of people were forgetting when they're like, look at all
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: the cap space, But they weren't. They weren't figuring in
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: that there was only forty one players on the on
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the roster that that you know, that's why they have
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: so much cap space, and in some degree because they
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: don't have a full roster yet, so these guys, you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: you got twenty five free agents, went off the team,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: so that now they're not counting anymore. So you've got
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: to replace them. And that's kind of what's happening.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I still think the Cowboys are going to continue
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: to be active. They got a lot a lot of
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: room to go, and they got a lot of players
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: to sign. We'll see how much, you know, if there's
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: a splash or two in there.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there has been.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think that there's been a huge splash just yet,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: but but you know, there's been moves, and that's better
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: than what we've seen in the past. All right, let's
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: go to and and and going back to that first caller,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: first caller from Casey Casey Joe. He's talking about Brishard
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Smith from SMU, the running back Chris helping him with
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: that and he ran a four three forty.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So I like that, And.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I mean that that's what has to happen.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: When you when you want to.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Get up the draft charts, you you run like that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I'll never forget. East Carolina had a guy named Chris
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Johnson ran in the four to two range the next thing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: You know, he's a first round pick and so yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you run like that, and I think that is the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: type of running back that I would be looking at.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: And you know, if you don't get gent I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Gentcy's at all around proven guy. But if it's that
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: that's not what happens, then then I'm looking at maybe
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: a thunder lightning situation. I really like the Javonte Williams addition,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: as long as it's what it is, and he's the
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: second guy, he's young, he runs really hard, catches the
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: ball out of the backfield. That's a nice compliment. Back
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: to another little bit more change of pace speedback that
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: is not on this team just yet. But whoever it is,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I think it's a it's a good one to punch.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: So I like what they've done with Williams, not as
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the main guy, but as another lead, uh you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: another runner in the backfield.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Ronnie in New Jersey is next Ronnie?
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: Hey, how you doing? Next?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing? Ronnie?
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: Not too bad? I mean we expected, But yeah, I
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: do like the them keeping some of the guys that
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: they've kept so far. And but wasn't the point of
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: she Now they waited for Garrett to get resigned and
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: all this stuff. That's the point that I think that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: where I'm starting to I'm afraid to say it, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 11: I'm starting I'm starting to lean towards Ralph from Vegas's
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: side when he started saying like, why do we wait? Right?
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: Are the Cowboys always the last one to wait to
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: sign their big star player to a contract? And now
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: you're letting it escalate where it's like a ridiculous number.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Now, Okay, well Michael wants forty five, so let's just
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: get it done.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You want to just get it done.
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: I mean, Michael, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: that now it's going to be where he's gonna want
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: forty five or he's gonna want you know, in the forties,
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: because they waited for Garrett to get forty a year
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: when it was thirty five, so they thought thirty five
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: was too much. The same didn't happen with Dak. Dak
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: wanted what was it like in the forties? I think
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: it was at that time and they thought it was
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: too much when now they're print sixty, like, oh that was.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: That was a different contract to go. I mean that
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: that's two different contracts. That was four years before he
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: got the forty and then this year at the sixty.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I think what you're saying is is that maybe they
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: you know, they're but see DAK wasn't DAK was asking
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: for more than sixty. CD was asking for more than
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: thirty four to come down to that number in both cases, So.
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: You know, and any negotiation, you're always going to say
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: a ridiculous number because you're really looking for this number.
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, like, I'm gonna take sixty
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: five because I'm looking for sisty. So yeah, they're going
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: to say whatever number they're looking for. But you know
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: what they're what they actually want is a little lower,
• 13:19
  Speaker 11: and they're are that's susceptible. You know, they got a deal,
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: the only deal I think we've gotten so far that
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: that's going to work out, and I don't see it
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: like because just because of the de tackles where they're getting.
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: It's also as this deal seems to be an actual
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: like team friendly deal and all that stuff, so that
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: that that's kind of, you know, the only one that
• 13:39
  Speaker 11: I seen that they've gotten because that was a late
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: deal too that they threw out there. But when I
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: was telling you, like I know, I've mentioned a few
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: times where they they gave up that fourth round pick.
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: Now is when they're actually going to feel that fourth
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: round pick, because with this draft, they're deep in the
• 13:59
  Speaker 11: tackles and running backs, and you need another running back.
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: I hope they don't draft gent in the first round,
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: to be honest with you. Look, get them running back
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: in the second or third round. They need defensive linemen.
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: They need a nose tackle at least who's gonna stop
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: the run. We still don't have anybody. Solomon Page is
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: a pass rusher who's going to stop the runs. But
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: that's my point. Okay, but thanks for taking my call.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. A lot of stuff there.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I'll just start with the Solomon Thomas is the is
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: the defensive tackle that they signed from the Jets. Solomon
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Page was a tackle from the two thousand, two thousand
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: and one area. Solomon Thomas, they picked up from the
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Jets third overall pick in the draft in like twenty seventeen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Hasn't lived up to that obviously. He's been a solid
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: player and a guy that has played under the new
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton who with the Jets for
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: three years, so he's he's been that's the connection there.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: And you know Thomas is a local, local guy here
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: from right nearby in Coppel, Texas. So uh, you know
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: that that's that's a good homecoming for him.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know if he's a you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: clear run stopper.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: He's a lot like Johnt Golsten when you just look
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: at body type, versatility to play end and tackle depending
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: on the scheme. It's a lot what Golston was a
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: little bit cheaper in the draft pick there. To answer
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: your your stuff about about Micah and and waiting too
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: long and all that, you know, I I personally think
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: that that you've got a floor and a ceiling now
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: with with with Miles Garrett and with Max Crosby. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: think that I think MICA's deal goes somewhere in between there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: And yes, he might ask for more than Garrett Miles Garrett,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: but I don't know if he gets that. And you
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: know he said that maybe doesn't need that, So we'll see.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. You know, Dak kind of sets
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: things too, didn't play for the money, ended up getting
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: sixty million years. So we'll see what happens. But I
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: certainly would like to see them get get a deal
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: done there. This is the time to do it, obviously,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: with a lot of guys, you know, this is the
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: time to sign these guys in free agency.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: One thing I want to point out too, is that
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: in the app we have the chat box features now
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: live something new that we're trying want to interact with
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: In the app.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: You can chat with each other, you can ask questions,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: you can ask questions to me. We have people monitoring that.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: You can also just kind of chat amongst yourself. That's
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: from the feature in the app. So I want you
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: guys to be aware of that. Let's keep back to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the phone lines. Gavin in Oklahoma City is next.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, Gavin.
• 16:49
  Speaker 12: Good how are you. I'm good man, I'm good. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: came on the show a couple of weeks ago and said,
• 16:57
  Speaker 12: I think the Cowboys need to try to find some people,
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: give them some prove it deals in our cap situation.
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: I think that's exactly what they have done so far.
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: I'm a fan of the runner back signing. I'm not
• 17:10
  Speaker 12: so much a fan of some of the others like
• 17:11
  Speaker 12: the d N. I may not see the upside there yet,
• 17:15
  Speaker 12: but you know every player is different. As far as
• 17:18
  Speaker 12: new look new field.
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: They can from the Saints, yes I got I got
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: some stats on that or not not stats, but I
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: got an opinion on that here in a second.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: But I'll let you keep.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: Going so you can get kind of lost in all
• 17:36
  Speaker 12: of their stats. And I don't think either free agent
• 17:40
  Speaker 12: signing we got looks too good on paper, but I
• 17:44
  Speaker 12: think you have a lot of upside with the running
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: back I keep forgetting his name for Williams. Yeah, yes, sir.
• 17:51
  Speaker 12: And my opinion on where we're at with this is that,
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: although I like what they've done so far, I think
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: you have to try to find a starter in free agency,
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: whether that be at receiver. A name that comes to
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: mind I said before his digs, and that's not just
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: because his brother plays for the team. I think he
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: can really come and contribute to this team. Dalvin Thomason
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: is still out there at the tackle. I think he
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: could help you in that rotation and he has starter potential.
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: And then there's a couple of other players, maybe Russell Douglas.
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: I think they have to go find a couple of
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: starters to fill in this team, because when you try
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: to go into the draft and fill all these needs,
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: we have corners of blinking light defensive line, offensive line.
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: You could even argue, I don't think they're going to
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: be able to fill all those holes. I think that's
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: the problem we really had last year. I just wanted
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: to get your opinion on that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that's going to be the key
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: is who they bring in to help, you know, as
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: a starter, because some of these guys, most of these
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: guys I don't really see as starters. Gavin, thank you
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: for the call. You know, Solomon Thomas, I think is
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: is going to be a role player. But but that's
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: that's kind of what you have at defense of the
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: defensive line, you know. I think he will be a
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: solid starter type player. Depends on, you know, what kind
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: of looks in fronts they have. But he'll play a
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: lot to be considered a starter. I'm not sure a
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: lot where on on the offensive line. With Robert Jones,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: you know, there's there's a lot of moving parts there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: You ask the you asked Schottenheimer and we talked to
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: him a little bit about I've talked to Schottenheimer, talked
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: to Clayton Adams, uh, talk to Connor Riley, the offensive
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: line coach, on what what we're going to see out
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: of Cooper Bebie and where he's going to play. That
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: one's gonna that's just interesting. I don't I don't think
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: they want to move him from from from center as
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: after a productive year at center, but if he's the
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: if it's the best option, then they will. If they
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: find a center that would be better than that. So,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: you know, Robert Jones, I think is going to be
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: more of a guard kind of you know, guard tackle
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: type guy I played at Miami. But in another guy
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I want to throw out there too. I'm going to
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: talk about Peyton Turner for a second. This is a
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: first round pick that didn't did not pan out for
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the Saints obviously four years, not very productive five sacks
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: maybe just two and a half. Last year has been
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: hurt a lot. They obviously, you know, see some some
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: potential there. The one thing that I'll I'll throw out
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: there is that, you know, depending on your expectations, don't
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: forget the Mica factor. With Mica being on the other
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: side in twenty twenty two, Dorance Armstrong had eight and
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: a half sacks. Okay, that that was that was a
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: career season for him. Playing on the other side, Tank
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: also had over six sacks, made it to the Pro Bowl.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three. Dante Fowler had his best season as well,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: had six sacks, best season in a while. He had
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: had a ten sacks season way back before, but he
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: you know, came back and kind of resurrected his career
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: six sacks last year. Carl Lawson had a really good
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: season for him and he had had zero the year
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: before it had five last year. I know Micah plays
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: a factor in that, not just Micah Dang. You can
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: say Dan Quinn as well in some of those but
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: but you know, scheme, but but having a guy on
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: the other side like Micah certainly changes things. So I'm
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: not sure. I know Peyton Turner didn't have that uh
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: in New Orleans and and you know he's got to
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: He's got to turn the corner if you will, U
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: pun intended, but that's what he's got to do and
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and and get the coaching and all that, but also
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: be in a scheme that that you know, can can
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: help him, uh make some plays.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: There.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: So, so that's that's the one thing I would look
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: at is, you know, this is a good situation. It's
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: a good place for guys that have some potential to
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: to really magnify that from the defensive line and pass
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: rusher standpoint. So, uh, let's let's don't don't forget that
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: part right there. This is a this is a topic
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: from UH and a question from the chat. So from
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: our chat, this is Bart, He's in Spring Texas. Do
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: you expect any splashes or even a ripple this week?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: If so, what position would you like to see us
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: go after big, big splash type stuff. I think corner
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: would be would be a spot i'd like to see there,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: because you know, you don't know what you're win. Diggs
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: is going to be back. I don't think he'll be
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: back in time to start the season.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Bland.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I feel confident in Deran Bland, but but still I'd
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: like to see a corner there that would be the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: splash move. From an offensive standpoint, I still think a
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: younger receiver, I would be more inclined to draft the
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: receiver than than to maybe make a splash and move.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Not sure how all that all those guys would fit
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: with CD and and and you know, you try to
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: get the ball to to a lot of people because
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: you think about, you know, you've got Jalen Tolbert now
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: last year of his deal. It's about to you know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: it's the fifth year for CD, sixth year for CD,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: so it's about time to start getting another new, you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: new young receiver in there. So that's kind of what
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I would be. My thought is maybe draft a younger receiver. Uh,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be in the first round, but
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: that that second round pick.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: That would be great for a receiver.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: To me, that's where you can get a guy that's
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: got a lot of speed and and maybe you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: just needs to get bigger, run routes better or whatever
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: it is. But I'd be okay with the receiver there.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: But but to add to the question from a splash move,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: you know that there's a linebacker that fits. I know
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: they were very close on green Law. I think the
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Cowboys thought that they had Drake green Law who just
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: decided to go to the Broncos. I mean a couple
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: of guys that I know, and I'll just say this,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: guys that they were pretty close on. And you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: close doesn't count, but it just shows you what they're
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: trying to do. They thought they had to deal with
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Drake Greenlaw. They were very close with the cornerback Brandon Stevens,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: who I'm personally really upset about him not being here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: You know, that was a.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Local kid as well, a kid I actually covered it
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: when he was in high school. Would have been great
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: to have him here, and he took a deal with
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: the Jets for more money in paper less money. At
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, when it comes to taxes,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I give a lot of credit to OsO Diggizua, who
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: he understands that it's the agent's job to understand and
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: the finances of when it comes to state income tax
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: and things like that. But players that know it, you're
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: ahead of the game. And Osa even made a comment
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: the other day that his eighty million dollar contract is
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: actually more than a ninety he could have gotten in
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: New York. I guess maybe the Giants or Jets were
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: interested in him, but he understands that understands that. You know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: it's one thing to say I want to be one
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of the top receivers or players or whatever at my
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: position based off of you know what, they'll show up
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: on the screen and graphics on. This guy's making this over.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: This also is looking at the money in his pocket.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: You know how much money might really going to get
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day. And I think not
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: all players do that. You know, everybody has a different agenda.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: But I give credit to him for knowing that and
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: understanding that. That was pretty good. All right, let's go
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: to Zach in Atlanta. No, sorry, Carolina in Longview?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Carolina? Sorry? Man? What's up?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: There?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: You go?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good, man. I see he keeps slitting the
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: days up on man, I keep forgetting what they is
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: with us. I'm never gonna get back on.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know it's been it's been crazy.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: We've been trying to fit all these schedules in. But
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: but you guys, you're on now. So what's up.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Got a couple of things, man, like you were saying, Man,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a new scheme, and you know, got some some new
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: guys who've already played, hoping they can, you know, revive
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: their careers. I want to start with you know what
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. I need them to revive my guy, dude,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: or give him a decent amount of you know, playtime
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: to where he can actually show. I hope, I hope
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: this preseason they just give him the ball and let
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: him go wild, you know what I mean, give him
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: a chance to show what he is and hopefully they
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: can figure out something that. Of course, I would like
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: for us to get another you know, premiere running back
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in the draft because once again he's unproven. But whose
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: fault Day's unprove with him? Or is it just certain
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: says that he's been given you know what I mean?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Both?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I said both.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's had some chances to do stuff. I mean,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: but I you know, he's okay this. He's got the
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: best chance he's ever had to do anything right now
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: because he's got his coaches that that coached him and
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: and helped him thrive at Kansas State.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Two of those guys are here, so.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I'm hoping they can get the best
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: out of them. But my next thing is, man, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: kind of agree with Davin. It's just how he said
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: his name of guy before me with the with the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: running back sounding because I went and sat down and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: watched a little bit of tape on the guys. I mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: even though his stats don't really show it. I mean,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that guy's he's a hard runner. I mean, and he's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: kind of shifty. I've seen him running through people. I mean,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: he's not like what they call that a guy that
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: he's gonna run and get sixty eighty yards every time
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: he touched the ball. But the way that he runs,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: with his aggression, I like it. He looks like a
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: very aggressive runner. I think we are missing that exactly.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: He's the physical He's the violent runner that Clayton Adams
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: described when he said he wanted a violent players on
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: the team and the old line in the running game.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: That's exactly the type of guy that that Javonte Williams
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: looks like to me, just in the stuff that I've seen,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: runs hard, kind of scary. You don't think those guys
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: are gonna be in the league for a long time.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You gotta be.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Careful, you know, Mary Barbara.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm just saying.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: He runs two people, man, right, I mean, I was like, wow,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I know how when it looked the stats up, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: was like, well, from what he does, it really doesn't
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: translate to paper. That's why sometimes people say you just
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: can't get caught up in the stats. But you know,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: when you need a third and two, he's trying to guy,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: you get a ball too, you know what.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, That's the thing that a lot of people forget.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: You're right, third and two and it's at the end
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: of the game. I mean, how many yards do you
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: want Javonte Williams to get if it's third and two
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: and the and the box is stacked and he's getting
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: the ball?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: How many how many yards too?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: You know what that does to your average? It drops
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: it pretty good. But did he do his job? He
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: certainly did. And I think a lot of people forget
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: that when Zeke was getting his yards and his average
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: was going low.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, for the most.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Part, Zeke didn't get stopped on third and one, third
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: and two, And that's the kind of back that you want.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: And if you can provide a push as well, even better.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: But I do think that he's going to be a
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: guy that can help this team, help the running game,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: help in the red zone.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: But he can't be the only guy.
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: He's not going to go biking it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, God, somebody has to do the dirty work, man,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: somebody has Yeah, But also, I got I got one.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: I just want a guy that can go fifty sixty.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I want that guy. I want you know, I want
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: to I want to have that guy as well.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, But yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: My last thing, man, like you were saying about Fregency,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: you know, he said you would like to see a
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: maybe on defense linebacker. I mean who who's really who's
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: really out there still? I mean outside of us not
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: getting green Law, Like, who who's out there that we
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: can say, Okay, this guy's veteran, he's proven, he's gonna
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: come to our team and make a difference. I mean
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: at this point, I mean, if Kendrick's still there or
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: did he gets not signed yet?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I honestly have you not seen his name anywhere?
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, So I mean outside of green Law, I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: mean I would I would suggest you just bring the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: guy back because he did his job. I mean, he
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: had a little bit of injury, you know, but for
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the most part, he held it down. There a lot
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: of tackles, he helped out and run as much as
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not the greatest cover linebacker, but the
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: guy gets in there and he does what need to
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: do and exactly, and he's the leader, So I know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Know no problem if if they that, I really have
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: no problems with that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, man, And last last thing I'm
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: gonna leave you. I glaranee. Who would you get to
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: replace the nickel? Who would you go for it? In
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: his dram?
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: All right, appreciate it. I think Dern Bland can slide
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: in there. But you've got to get you know, you've
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: got to get somebody else on the outside at corner.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: That would be a position that I would I would
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: go after here in free agency or trade, you know.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's another thing that's on the table too.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know it's not just gonna be free agency.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: This is the time to make some trades as well.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: So I'd be I'd be looking at that. I do
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: like the fact that Deron Bland can play it. He
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: can play the slot. And when Jay Lou was hurt
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: his rookie year, Bland's rookie year Bland played it had
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: in he had five interceptions, so he can definitely play
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: the position. Let me go to break real quick. I
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: know we've got some callers on the line. Let me
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: go to break. We'll be right back after this.

  Speaker 4: the new chat feature there. Wanted to bring up something
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: from one of our callers early on, Brian in Kansas City,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: talking about his disappointment with losing Jordan Lewis. Kind of
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: looking at some of the stats. Chris helped me find
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: some stuff there. It is ten million a year. I
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: mean it's not It may not be three for thirty,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: but it's two for twenty and that is ten million
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: a year for at least for two years. It's a
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: twenty million dollar guaranteed, which is twenty million is guaranteed
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: over the first two years, So that is a ten
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: million a year hit. Now, your base might be lower,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: but when you're talking about you don't have a whole
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: lot of years to spread out. So when they give
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: a you know, twenty million guaranteed and divide it up,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: especially if they can get out of it in the
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: third year, that still means that they're gonna pay twenty
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: million over to.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: To me, is becoming sort of like the Raiders were
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: back in the day, where they put out deals that
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: they they're just spending money to spend money, and look
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: at all these guys that they're cutting two or three
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: years later. I mean, you go back and look at
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: man Christian Kirk got a lot of money three or
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: four years ago or whatever, a lot of these deals
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and then you know, the Raiders used to do it
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: all the time where people will be like, well, this
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: guy got that, and they're like, no, now the Raiders,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: just because you're overpaying for someone doesn't mean that's the
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: market and doesn't mean now that another corner shouldn't be
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: looking at it and going, oh, well this guy got ten.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Million a year. I mean again, I don't know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not sitting here talking bad about any other team,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: because everybody's got their own strategy.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: We know that.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: All I'm saying is is that there are teams with
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of money already and then now with the
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: cap going up, they've got they've got more money than
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: they know what to do with, and they're throwing it
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: out there and it's and they're overpaying for players, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: so I don't know if if you know, the Cowboys
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: just weren't going to do that. For Jordan Lewis, as
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: good as he's been, as good as he is in
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: the locker room. You know, he's overcome so much, but
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: still at the end of the day, at his age,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: in that position, that just they weren't going to hit that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: And I respect the fact that they had a number
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: in mind and they weren't going to go over that.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: So that's kind of the way it is now. Zach
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta, he's been holding them for a while.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Zach, what's up been?
• 36:32
  Speaker 17: What is up?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Nick?
• 36:33
  Speaker 18: How are you many? Thanks for holding Oh yeah, that's
• 36:37
  Speaker 18: what I do. Sometimes it's all good. Hey, I'm gonna
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: submit a new sponsor for not just the show or whatever,
• 36:46
  Speaker 18: but for the franchise and particularly the free agency strategy.
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: Can we get band Aid band Aid the official partner
• 36:54
  Speaker 18: for healthcare of the Dallas Cowboys, because I just feel
• 36:56
  Speaker 18: like we're doing band aid free agency signings. I don't know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 18: not my best word, but I'll say this, it's.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: What agency is though. That's what it is. It is.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: You are putting band aids over things, you know, now
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: it depends on what kind that you're getting. Are you
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: getting the little flintstone kind that kind of you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: would fall off in the shower. Are you getting this
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: big ace bandage wrapped around you know, I mean that
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: that's not going anywhere.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So which one? Which kind of band aids are you getting?
• 37:22
  Speaker 18: He has like a cars pick Star Cars. You know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 18: you struck me as a cars band aid guy. I
• 37:26
  Speaker 18: don't know, No, no.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: No, we actually we don't really honestly, we don't have
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: band aids in the house. We need to, we need
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: to get some, but yet we don't really have them.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what the official sponsor is for that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 18: Yeah, but yeah, I mean, you know, the draft and
• 37:45
  Speaker 18: developed strategy, we've leaned on it. I'm not saying anything
• 37:49
  Speaker 18: too new, but yeah, it just hasn't panned out. And
• 37:52
  Speaker 18: so you know, your band aid and your band aid
• 37:55
  Speaker 18: and you don't draft well and you don't draft well,
• 37:58
  Speaker 18: and yeah, we're we're hoping that a lot pans out.
• 38:02
  Speaker 18: But I don't think this upcoming season is going to
• 38:05
  Speaker 18: be too much different than what we just saw. But
• 38:09
  Speaker 18: it's you know, it's gonna be what it is. But
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: Mishoda actually put this out John Mashoda, and he he
• 38:17
  Speaker 18: lined up all of our draft picks for this year,
• 38:20
  Speaker 18: like the round and the number, and he said, he said, Hey,
• 38:24
  Speaker 18: if the Cowboys draft like this, all their problems are solved.
• 38:27
  Speaker 18: If we draft Micah Parsons, Larry Allen, DeMarco Murray and
• 38:31
  Speaker 18: the third Orlando Scandrick, Deron Bland, Leon lest Jay Ratless,
• 38:35
  Speaker 18: Larry Brown, Miles Austin in the seventh.
• 38:38
  Speaker 15: There we go.
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: That's the winning formula.
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: Can we do that?
• 38:42
  Speaker 18: Do we have that in the tank?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: No?
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: No, no, No, that's that's impossible.
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: No.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's that's John Mishouda being John. That's
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: what he I mean, that's he's we just covered thirty
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: five years of the draft, you know, like in picking
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the best fifth round or the best third round or
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: the best for that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, but you're not going to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: do that. I mean you're not. You're just not.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: But but I understand what he's Maybe what he's also
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: trying to say too, is that you know you've got
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: to you've got to hit in some of these in
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: the fifth round. You you've got they haven't been drafting
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: as well lately, and that's what happens. All these teams
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: that are going crazy in free agency have the money.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Why they have the money because they're not drafting very
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: well to re signing their guys. Now the Cowboys are
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: resigning some of their guys, but they haven't also drafted
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: as well too in the last two or three years.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: And now you're starting to see it, because what it
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: comes down to is the free agents that you're losing,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: would you rather re sign them or would you rather
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: maybe see if something else is out there? And I
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: think over the last few years of not drafting as well,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: you're finding.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Better options out there.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: So most teams that are going crazy in free agency,
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: it's because they haven't been drafting well or they haven't
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: been playing very well. And the Cowboys are sort of
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: in both now after this last season exactly.
• 40:04
  Speaker 18: So yeah, yeah, I mean it's tongue in cheek, but yeah,
• 40:08
  Speaker 18: last question for you then I'll get off the line.
• 40:11
  Speaker 18: Just in your time covering the team, is there someone
• 40:14
  Speaker 18: they brought in or someone who departed during free agency
• 40:18
  Speaker 18: that was memorable? Share a story about that if you
• 40:21
  Speaker 18: wouldn't mind, sir. Yeah, I'll talk to you all later.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Thanks, well, I appreciate it man free agency stories. I mean, yeah,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: there there's definitely there's definitely some of the the best
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: free agent that I that the Cowboys have brought in.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: I mean it's a long time ago, both since I've
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: been here. Without a doubt, the best one for me
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: was was Leroy Glover, just because it was one of
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: those that they waited a couple of couple of weeks
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: into free agency and then they finally they got him
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: in the building and he was supposed to go to
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: two or three other teams, and I was one of
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: those where he got inside the building and they didn't
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: let him leave and they signed him, and that you know,
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: he he played for four years in a row and
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: got made four Pro Bowls.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: That was a really good pick up.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: It's sad that you have to go that far back
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: for the for the best one that I can remember,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: but uh, that's the one that always kind of stands
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: out just because I remember being there and I remember
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: him being in the building and he's supposed to leave
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: to catch a flight and he never caught that flight.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I think he stayed in Dallas, And so that's the
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: one I remember the most.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And and you know, he was you know, he was.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: He was a great player and in any scheme, didn't
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: matter what it was. He was one that that was
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: that was really good. And you know, I mean, yeah,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: they they've had some leave and free agency, but nothing
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: really stands out as far as like a guy that
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: that left that was really really you know, really a
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: tough move that you know, I couldn't believe that he
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: left and and look how well he's done. I mean,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: it happens. I mean, without a doubt it happens. But
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's funny looking at Chavarius Ward,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: who was was here as an undrafted rookie and they traded.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Him for you know, like I think I forgot.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: His name, Parker Ellinger or something like that, a guard
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: or from Kansay that never played but various word is
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: now you know, two contracts deep into his career and
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: a free agent, and you know, so there's some that
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: that that get away for sure. All Right, Lester in
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Minnesota's next?
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
• 42:27
  Speaker 20: Man good?
• 42:30
  Speaker 17: I'm all right. I've been looking at some stats here
• 42:33
  Speaker 17: of the people that we got on the offensive and
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: defensive line. Here, let's see Turner. He doesn't look too
• 42:44
  Speaker 17: he looks like a backup to me. But you know,
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: I heard you say earlier that, uh, you know, Parker
• 42:50
  Speaker 17: was on the other side, so that could be good.
• 42:54
  Speaker 17: Solomon Thompson definitely a backup. I'm looking at his stats.
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: I know he was a very good player a few
• 43:01
  Speaker 17: years ago, but right now, back up. Now, I am
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: impressed with this Jones. His stats look pretty good.
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: I think.
• 43:12
  Speaker 17: I'm sure he's probably not going to initially start over
• 43:15
  Speaker 17: anyone on the line, but we'll see. But even if
• 43:19
  Speaker 17: he is a backup, very good backup, could be a starter.
• 43:23
  Speaker 17: He looks pretty good. I like his weight and everything.
• 43:28
  Speaker 17: So right now, I know it's just a free agency
• 43:31
  Speaker 17: and in just the first few days, and I know
• 43:34
  Speaker 17: we don't usually do too much in free agency, but
• 43:37
  Speaker 17: I'm a little well, actually, I'm kind of glad that
• 43:42
  Speaker 17: we've looked into a lot more than usual. And I
• 43:46
  Speaker 17: know he signed a few of our guys. I was
• 43:49
  Speaker 17: good too. I hate that Lewis got away, but hey,
• 43:54
  Speaker 17: that's just the price of doing business. We can't keep everyone.
• 43:59
  Speaker 17: But I think for now i'm pretty pretty even kill.
• 44:03
  Speaker 17: I'm not disappointed as usual on free agency time. Right,
• 44:07
  Speaker 17: So that's all I got, man, Yeah.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: All right, Lester, I appreciate it. I think that's kind
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: of the sentiment for everybody.
• 44:13
  Speaker 17: You know.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: And uh, and I fegure and you probably got caught off.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: You were going to say, until they get an offensive
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: defensive line. At the same time, Uh, this is why
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: it's going to be. I'll say your line if you
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: didn't get to. I do think that it's somewhat positive
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: vibes around here. And again it's just getting started. I mean,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: it's the free agency officially starts today. They you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: they've had some agree to terms on some of the
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: other players.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: But the fact that they're you.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Know, not waiting so much because you have to think
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: about these these got you know, Davonte Williams and and
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Solomon Thomas and Robert Jones and Peyton Turner. I mean,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: you know a lot of times you wait until you
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: know free agency, you know officially is underway two or
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: three days in to see what the market value is.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: And uh, they're they're going ahead and you know, at
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: least being competitive enough to get these deals done. I know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: you know, Jones had some other options. I think Javonte
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Williams did as well, so so you know, this isn't
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think the Cowboys just getting guys that nobody wants.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I think they're being somewhat competitive. But like you guys
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: are saying, these these aren't you know, these these aren't
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: the answers to the problems.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: These you got to have depth.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: And and they had forty something players on the roster
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: here just just this last week. So that's what they're doing.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: They're adding the depth. And unlike in the other years,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: and I've said this before, I just thought it was
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: going to look different because they are going they have
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: to sign players, and they're probably not going to sign
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: as many from the outside or from the inside as
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: they have in the past. Because there was a year
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: or two years ago where the Cowboys signed eleven of
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: their own guys and in maybe one or two from
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: the outside, and there's the thought was, oh, the Cowboys
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: aren't doing anything. So yeah, there's a narrative that people
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: believe that if you signed your own player, you didn't
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: do anything in free agency. So you know, twenty million
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: a year for OsO, I mean not didn't count, I guess,
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: but it does.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: It does count. And but I.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: Do think the Cowboys are just doing more because you know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: let's face it, when you go seven to ten, your
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: players aren't as good as some of the others out there.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: Simple facts. Yeah, you got hurt in some you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: some areas, but they can be better. And that's what
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: they're doing. They're they're looking to see they're doing it
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: with the coaches, they're doing it with the players. All Right,
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: this is a question from the chat here. Don't have
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: a name for it. I'd like for you guys to
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: throw in your names for a chap. There's still good question,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: good topic. We can talk about wanting a true middle
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: linebacker Irlack or ray Lewis type of player.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be great. Let's get that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: If you got the ir Lock her ray Lewis almost
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: bring those guys down. Eric Kendricks is still available. Where
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: are your thoughts on at linebacker going into the season. Uh,
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: if Kendricks is the best available linebacker, I definitely would
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: would look into that. I liked what he did last year,
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: liked him in the locker room. You know, pretty dependable player.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Into the season last year he had a chance, you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: he he was banged up, played that last game against
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Washington that that was impressive to me. That's a guy
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: that wants to play football. You know, there's other guys
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: on the team that didn't do that injured, you know,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: coming back for what. Eric Kendricks came back to play.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: So I like that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: I think that that that's good for your locker room.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: I think he's a good football player too, so depending
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: on the scheme. But but I'm sure you know, a
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: guy like Eric Kendricks could fit in the scheme. So
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see that. I'd like to see at
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: least some linebacker come back or sign maybe one or two,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: because that is a position. It's not one you're gonna
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: draft at twelve in in any draft really, and especially
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: this one. So you you better, you better, you better
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: get some guy in here that that can do some stuff.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: I think they're counting on marrislefl to be a good player,
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: but still I think he needs some help around him
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: as well. All right, back to the phone lines, Chris
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: in Saratoga Springs. You're back with us, Yes, sir, what's up?
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 48:17
  Speaker 21: Disappointed we didn't get Drake Greenlaw. I'm not gonna lie.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too. I thought I thought that was happening.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: I actually, you know, I actually wrote some I wrote
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: five or six paragraphs there. So I don't like wasting
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: you know, some paragraphs. So last year, didn't didn't we sign?
• 48:36
  Speaker 21: Feel like Kendrick from the Niners last year when he
• 48:39
  Speaker 21: agreed to terms with yeah, the forty nine ers and
• 48:42
  Speaker 21: he came to us, can we like call call him
• 48:44
  Speaker 21: back and say listen, let's we're gonna give you a
• 48:46
  Speaker 21: little bit more money here. Sure, And I just Denver
• 48:51
  Speaker 21: always seems to get Dallas. I mean, like in the draft,
• 48:54
  Speaker 21: they've done it. He's taken players from us. They did
• 48:56
  Speaker 21: it with Randy Gregory a couple of years ago. Denver
• 48:59
  Speaker 21: is like a Thorigner my side. To be honest with you.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: Are you saying Denver taking Randy Gregory away was a
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: was a bad thing because I mean at the time
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: it wasn't good. But looking back, like, I mean sure
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: that that was that was a bad one.
• 49:16
  Speaker 21: I mean fifty million years, I hear you. But the
• 49:21
  Speaker 21: thing with Dallas with Randy Gregory, he had a good
• 49:25
  Speaker 21: structure with Dallas. They took care of him. They know
• 49:29
  Speaker 21: how he operated, and he thrived with the structure that
• 49:33
  Speaker 21: he had with Dallas. I don't think he had the
• 49:35
  Speaker 21: structure when he went away to the other team. That's
• 49:37
  Speaker 21: where I thought he lacked. He didn't have that structure
• 49:40
  Speaker 21: in place.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: They got different laws in Colorado than they have in Texas,
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: so it was different structure for sure. But yeah, I
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: mean I think but the Cowboys got more players out
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: of that, you know. I mean, I remember they signed
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Dorian's Armstrong because they didn't sign Randy Gregory, and that
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: was a better deal. I mean that that turned out
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: to he was a much better football player in those
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: two years with the Cowboys. But you're right, I mean,
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: Dan dan quinn is is is a good coach, uh
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: for a reason. And and you know he would have
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: been better, you know, obviously with dan quinn then then
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: maybe with the Broncos. But you know, I don't look
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: at that Broncos as you know, that one got away
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: the green Law though it did. I mean green Law,
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: that that one Devin got away. That that was one
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: that the Cowboys really were trying to get and you know,
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: they just didn't.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: It just didn't work out.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: But it goes to show what you know, they're looking
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: for linebacker, just like you know they were looking for
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: corners as well. They were pretty close on Brandon Stevens,
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: so corner and linebacker. I mean look for that to
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: happen at some point.
• 50:43
  Speaker 21: Yeah, what about I said, I heard you say you
• 50:45
  Speaker 21: like to get a young wide receiver, but I don't know.
• 50:48
  Speaker 21: I like Cooper Cupp. I think he has familiarity with
• 50:51
  Speaker 21: our coaching staff, if I if I'm not correct, and
• 50:55
  Speaker 21: I think with our four fifth round picks we have now,
• 50:59
  Speaker 21: I don't see why we couldn't ship one of those
• 51:02
  Speaker 21: for Cooper Cup and get him in as a number
• 51:04
  Speaker 21: two to go along with Turpin and Tolbert, I think
• 51:08
  Speaker 21: that would be outstanding.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I mean I would Again I've said earlier in the show,
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I'd lean a little bit more towards if you're doing
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: that move, I'd go with a corner over a receiver
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: because I think there's a little bit more depth at receiver. Plus,
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: you do have one of the best in the NFL
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: in CD Lamb, So I would be okay with that
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: with with you know, a young receiver Tolbert Turpin CD,
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: I think you can get the job done there corner,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: though I'd like to see a little bit more help
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: there at corner. But you know, it's it's they're not done.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: They're gonna make some They're gonna make more moves. So
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: they're just kind of getting started.
• 51:50
  Speaker 21: Yeah, one corner I think out there left is what
• 51:53
  Speaker 21: a Sante Samuel? Is He still available?
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: I believe so. Yeah, his name, I heard his name yesterday.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: I believe he's a free agent. But don't roll out,
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: don't roll out trades. I'm just telling you, don't roll out,
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: don't roll out a trade opportunity here. I think I
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: think there's some. I'm not I don't know anything specifically,
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: but I have a feeling if they make a splash,
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: it'll be through a trade, not free agent. That's what
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: I think. But we'll see, we'll see. It's still still
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of room to go here.
• 52:20
  Speaker 21: I appreciate it. Nick, Thank you so much.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: All Right, see you later.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Chris points out here Randy Gregory played in eleven games
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: after he left the Cowboys, played in twelve in his
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: last year here.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't work out.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: And in the your point, Chris's point was, I mean,
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Christ from Saratoga Springs says, you know the structure was
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: better here in Dallas.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Sure, but but.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: He didn't want it. He didn't want that structure. I
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: mean he he took you know, that was a weird deal,
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: and I remember it happened very surprised Jerry big time.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: And I think it hurt him too.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, you get nobody in Gregory's life, his family,
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: nobody supported him better than Jerry. I mean, Jerry took
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: care of him when the league was not even taking
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: care of him as much. And Jerry stood by and
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: and and then he got things turned around and he
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: started playing better football and become time for fregency and
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: there was a big time deal on the table and
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: he goes to Denver. I think that I think that hurt.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: But you know, they moved on from that, and I
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: think the Cowboys were a better football team actually because
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: of it, because they got more players, and one of
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: them was Dorin Armstrong, Who's who's just been better and
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: more reliable and the more versatile and all that. All right,
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: let's go to Robin Vegas.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Rob what's up, hey, Nick? You loving the moves?
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: No, it's a disaster, like we thought, they're worse now
• 53:48
  Speaker 15: at this time. Well, it's a fact you lost Jordan's
• 53:53
  Speaker 15: just losing Jordan Lewis made your worse.
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: You're you're you're a worst team.
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: I would assigned you to Lewis and I would have
• 54:01
  Speaker 15: let Conva de Turpin go if I had to choose
• 54:03
  Speaker 15: between those two Turpens that on the field enough to
• 54:06
  Speaker 15: make a difference. And I don't see them using him
• 54:10
  Speaker 15: as a slot wide receiver.
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: Which they should.
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: But you know, you keep talking about you know, free agency.
• 54:16
  Speaker 15: They got to use it for depth players. You have
• 54:19
  Speaker 15: to have starters first, and they don't have any. And
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: that's their business model is whacked. They use free Free
• 54:27
  Speaker 15: agency is where you bring in proving guys, and yes,
• 54:30
  Speaker 15: you have to pay. If you would have brought in
• 54:33
  Speaker 15: a Drake Green Law, you have to solidified that position
• 54:38
  Speaker 15: for four to five years. You know Gulpha bid he
• 54:42
  Speaker 15: would got injured. Instead. You keep going to, well, we'll
• 54:45
  Speaker 15: get this guy for you. It's like buying a thousand
• 54:48
  Speaker 15: dollars car and expecting you to last. Like, no, you're
• 54:50
  Speaker 15: going to keep buying thousand dollars cars. And that's what
• 54:53
  Speaker 15: we keep doing. We don't use free agency correctly. You know,
• 54:58
  Speaker 15: the caller says we were a draft and develop team, okay,
• 55:02
  Speaker 15: but you can't do that with free agency. Also, we
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: bring in these guys with hope. Jerry loves to ooh,
• 55:07
  Speaker 15: this guy was a first round pick. This guy was
• 55:09
  Speaker 15: a third round pick, Trey Lance. It doesn't work out
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: because Jerry doesn't know anything. You know, Jerry, Jerry thinks
• 55:17
  Speaker 15: he's out smart. You know what's smarter than these teams?
• 55:20
  Speaker 15: They don't know? Now, I'm sorry they're not. They're smarter
• 55:24
  Speaker 15: than you. Your front office is awful. And why did
• 55:27
  Speaker 15: you extend Dak for this? If anything, you want to
• 55:32
  Speaker 15: get out from under that contract as fast as possible,
• 55:36
  Speaker 15: or you build the best team around them, because the
• 55:39
  Speaker 15: only way that money makes sense is to win a
• 55:42
  Speaker 15: super Bowl, and you're not trying. And I got to
• 55:46
  Speaker 15: tell you, I love Michael Parsons, but he should never
• 55:49
  Speaker 15: sign with the Dallas Cowboys. Why would you you're a
• 55:52
  Speaker 15: young man, You're going to get the top dollar. Go
• 55:56
  Speaker 15: to a team that is really put football first. Dallas
• 56:02
  Speaker 15: don't put football first. They put marketing first. Why would
• 56:05
  Speaker 15: he want to sign here? He'll be wasted like Zach Martin,
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: Tyrone Smith.
• 56:10
  Speaker 11: He'll just be that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry that that that's
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: that's the mentality that you have, right now.
• 56:20
  Speaker 15: But but no, no, no, but why why would Mike
• 56:22
  Speaker 15: and not have that Mentime he went to the owner
• 56:24
  Speaker 15: in Doke, State and said to the guy, I want
• 56:27
  Speaker 15: to be here. I'm willing to take less, but I
• 56:30
  Speaker 15: need you to take the money that I would save,
• 56:33
  Speaker 15: that you would save and build a team. And Jerry said, nah,
• 56:38
  Speaker 15: So why would you sign here if you could go
• 56:40
  Speaker 15: anywhere to play? And state tax is only when you
• 56:45
  Speaker 15: play in that state, so that's eight games unless you
• 56:48
  Speaker 15: play in Florida. So so come on, why would he
• 56:53
  Speaker 15: sign here? He's going to get forty million. If I'm Micah,
• 56:56
  Speaker 15: I asked for forty five, now, forty six, forty seven
• 56:59
  Speaker 15: because the owner is not going to take the savings
• 57:03
  Speaker 15: and invest it on the field. He'll invest it off
• 57:07
  Speaker 15: the field. And I'm sorry.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: Michael Parker said, Rob, how do you not understand that
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: that is not Do you think that that money that
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: you save in the salary cap goes.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: To and go to market?
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Neck?
• 57:21
  Speaker 11: What?
• 57:22
  Speaker 20: Listen?
• 57:22
  Speaker 15: Listen. It's been talked about when you sign players and
• 57:27
  Speaker 15: you give them a signing bonus that comes right out
• 57:30
  Speaker 15: of your checking account. Today, if I give you one
• 57:34
  Speaker 15: hundred dollars signing bonus, I write you a check for
• 57:37
  Speaker 15: one hundred million dollars. Jerry does not want to do that.
• 57:41
  Speaker 15: He was forced to do that with DAK, He was
• 57:44
  Speaker 15: forced to do that with CD. He rather have that
• 57:47
  Speaker 15: liquid money. Don't you have any friends that use a
• 57:50
  Speaker 15: credit card even though they got cash in their pocket,
• 57:53
  Speaker 15: And I would say to them, why you use a
• 57:54
  Speaker 15: credit card? Because I want to keep that cash just
• 57:57
  Speaker 15: in case. That's what Jerry does. Jerry wants to keep
• 58:00
  Speaker 15: cash in his pocket because if he sees an oil deal,
• 58:04
  Speaker 15: or if he sees a puppet John's pizza deal, he's
• 58:07
  Speaker 15: got the cash. Why invest in the Dallas Cowboys? They're
• 58:10
  Speaker 15: eleven billion dollars, they keep going up in value and
• 58:13
  Speaker 15: they haven't done anything in thirty years. He's top dog,
• 58:17
  Speaker 15: So that's why he doesn't want to do this. I
• 58:19
  Speaker 15: don't know why everybody finds it so hard to believe.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: Right, you think he's worth eleven billion dollars, You think
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: that's what the cab work.
• 58:27
  Speaker 15: He's worth close to the twenty billion, Okay, the Cowboys
• 58:29
  Speaker 15: are worth eleven billion.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, well then whatever whatever one you want to do.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Take the salary cap that the that the NFL has
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: and divide like eleven billion into that.
• 58:40
  Speaker 15: It's not the salary cap. We know there's a salary cap,
• 58:43
  Speaker 15: but that's the signing bonus comes out of the owner's
• 58:48
  Speaker 15: pocket immediately. That's why the Eagles sold ten percent so
• 58:53
  Speaker 15: he could free up seven hundred and fifty million dollars
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: cash so he could write these checks. That's what it's
• 58:59
  Speaker 15: about out, okay. And that's why he brings in these
• 59:02
  Speaker 15: guys three million for what kind of play are you
• 59:06
  Speaker 15: going to get paying three million dollars? Drake Greenlaw was
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: twelve million dollars. Spa lane was twelve million dollars.
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: You couldn't drop.
• 59:14
  Speaker 15: That for a linebacker that you don't have. Jordan Lewis
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: ten million, okay, but he's the best at what he
• 59:21
  Speaker 15: does and you don't have anybody. So I just don't understand.
• 59:26
  Speaker 15: The business model is no good. You don't use free
• 59:29
  Speaker 15: agency as a draft and develop hope. No, those are
• 59:34
  Speaker 15: where you get the proven starters at least in the
• 59:37
  Speaker 15: first two days, and you do the draft and you
• 59:40
  Speaker 15: hope in the draft you get two to three players
• 59:44
  Speaker 15: a draft that actually make a difference on the field.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: All right, that's what we have a thing.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: Thanks yeah, that's you know, you get nine calls and
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: you get you get eight that are somewhat positive, and
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: you know, and Rob's going to do what Rob does
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: and that that's that's okay. But you know, I'll say this,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: and I know he's not here too, because he had
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: that opportunity. But the thing about it is is, Jerry,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: I think I've done the mask the math Jerry can do.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: Can can cover sixty or sixty five salary caps. So
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: to think that this over here, this salary cap, that
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: have two hundred and sixty two hundred and eighty FA
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: whatever it in two hundred eighty million whatever, it is
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: like that that that money affects the other you.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Can do that.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: He can make sixty one salary caps. So I want
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: instead of paying into this one, I'm gonna go get
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: a new marketing deal. That's that's ridiculous, Okay. So it's
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: it's not about that. It's it's about building the team.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: And have they done a perfect job. No, obviously not.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: It's not been good enough to meet the standards of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: what they're trying to do. We all know that we
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: don't need to be re minded of that. But but
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: they do have a strategy here and and they always
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: believe that that signing these guys in free agencies, signing
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: these big name guys right off the bat is is
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: not what's going to help your football team. And so
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: there's other teams that are doing it doing it. You know,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: they do a pretty good job with it. And I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: think we're starting to see a change there. But you know,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: it's it's been two days. We don't we don't know
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: exactly what's what's happening just yet. There's gonna be some
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: stuff that that goes on. And I know this that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: that that all those things I've seen I've heard like
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: Rob from Vegas and a lot of you guys, you know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: really respect the stuff that that he says, which is great.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: But I've seen it flip and flip flop many times.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: The Dak deal. It depends on the call. Rob.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's it's a great move, Sometimes it was it
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: was the right move to do. Sometimes you got to
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: get out from under this contract. So that's just kind
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: of the way it's been. I'm gonna take a breaker
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: on start on to be right back after this.

• 1:03:31
  Speaker 20: Four to July is four months away. So today we
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 20: have a fireworks, but I'm gonna go easy on you
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 20: to bring it to reality. A couple of things. I
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 20: think rams they're gonna release Scooper today, so if the
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 20: Cowboys wish to get them, we don't have to give
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 20: up any draft picks. That's one second. The Darren's picture
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 20: you want in color of black and white?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, uh, whatever, whatever is easier? You talking
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: about Darren Woodson. Yeah, it doesn't matter, is it? Whatever?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: Whatever you have, whatever.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: You when do you need it? By I don't know.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: I just I just related the question to him.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: I don't think we need it. I think you asked
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: the you know, what's when? What's what's the favorite animal?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: He answered it. So I don't think there's a timetable
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: on anything.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 20: So the last thing I just want to.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 22: Give you little love, Chris rob all the storyliners. The
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 22: reality is I'm involved with the Sanchuz Hospital and Make
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 22: You Wish Foundation.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: And I did a charity auction so.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 20: They raised money to pay the bills for all the parents.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 20: I thought, the twelve year old boy fourteen brain tumor,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 20: fourteen brain surgery. So you know, we're all having fun here.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 20: I just want to give a love to everybody on
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 20: the storyline to have children. The reality of the world
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 20: is just just be nice and take it easy and
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 20: at the end everything's going to work out. The most
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 20: important is our help up to our children. Love you, buddy,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 20: I'll talk to you later.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you, well said, appreciate that puts it
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: in perspective. You're exactly right. Let's keep going here. Well,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: you mentioned the Cooper cup stuff, you know, something to monitor.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. I mean, whether smoke, there's fire.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: I think there's some definite interest there. But we'll see
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: kind of what happens, how the day, how the day
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: goes out, And I would imagine that would change some
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: people's thoughts on what the cowboys are doing if they
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: if they do a situation like that Nico and Colorado Springs, Nico, Hey.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 7: What's up?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 8: Nick?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: I'm not gonna even ask how you're doing. We know
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: that Rob fires you up, and I'm actually gonna come
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 7: right behind him and fire you up again. But actually
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna do it in a different way. I'm gonna
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: fire us up. Usually I get a little.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not fired up. I'm good.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not fired up. Like honestly, you ask anybody in
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: my face.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: You had to take a break, buddy, Huh. I said
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: you had to take a break.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: We we take breaks. That's what it's time to take
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: a break. It was twenty five, it was it was good.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: One commercial break. Nick, you needed a breather. We know
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: you did.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 21: That's okay, Niko.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: We know you're just like, it's.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Up, Niko.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna fire me up. If anything you're going
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: to do, so let's go bring it. If you think
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: you can bring it.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: Going, we're going to go for it. I usually look, Nick,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 7: you know I love you. I've read your book, I've
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 7: fought your books. I've met you personally. I've met you personally.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: What do you got?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: You are exactly like Schottenheimer right now. You are a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: Jerry Jones yes man. And that's because Batman pays your check.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: And you know what cool be that this is We're
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: done hearing that we suck, Like you said, we know
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: we suck right now, but we don't want to hear
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: you so us that these are great players.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: They're not.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: They're bargain bin we know it. But like you said,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: this is where I was gonna agree with Rot. But
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: you just said it just now, Nick, and it didn't.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: It just hit me. It's only day two. We could
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: be making moves. We don't know yet. Michael could be
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 7: signed tomorrow, we don't know. So I'm usually on the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: whole side of Jerry sucks and this team sucks, and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: I'm not this time. Here's the thing I actually am going.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: I've been listening to you lately and how you talk
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: about Shotimer and the crew and all of our signings
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 7: staff wise, and I've done some research on these guys
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: and Okay, you might pull me back in. Just when
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 7: you think I'm out, they're gonna pull me right back in.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys. As you have said, I
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: just can't understand why Jerry isn't actually listening to the fans.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 7: We have these shows for a reason. Jerry, listen to us,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: go out and pay the money to get these people.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: You say it all the time.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna write a check well, you ain't written a
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 7: check in thirty years. His name was Beaton. He was
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: on your books for like fifteen of those years. Like,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: come on, get better, Jerry, get better with that. Nick,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 7: have a great show. I guess hopefully i'd empire you
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 7: up too much. I still love you and respect you.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: I just don't do the guests. Man, come on, Nick,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: be Nick.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, the thing that you said that you said, yet
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: you were listening to to what I've been saying. Did
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: I say any of these players were great players? I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: I haven't said one of these guys is a great
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: football player. They're they're not. They're not going to bring
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: in these great great play not not for that price.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: Look what the salary cap is, and look what these
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: guys are getting. Uh so I haven't said any of
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: these guys are are are great players. Turpin is it
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: was a All Pro as a kick returner, and that's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: who they re signed. These other guys probably aren't going
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: to be starters on a team that's that was below average,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: probably around that that average part. So so I don't
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: I don't consider them great players. But because I'm not
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: here like spitting fire on all these you know, and
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: and saying, oh, why didn't they do this? And that
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: you know that that you want to say that I'm
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: I'm a yes man or whatever. I like Schottenheimer. How
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: many times have I said that?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: So?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: I like him as a person. I like him a lot.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: I like what he's done, I like what he says.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: What else have I said that?
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: Nobody in the NFL history has ever won a game
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: in March or April or May or June July probably either.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: So nothing matters right now. It's just, yeah, he's good,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: he says the right things, he's doing something. You know,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: they're building a good staff, everyone's excited, everyone is feeling
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: good about things because nothing's happening. The minute he could
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: have the greatest offseason, they could sign up all great players.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: The minute that that they lose a game, then you
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: guys are gonna gonna change your tune. I get it
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: that that's the way it is. And I've and I've
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: said that, so I don't I don't understand. I don't
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: understand where that's coming from. Nico, You make that don't
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: make any sense to me. Some of the stuff that
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: you said the same same with Rob. You know, you're like,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: why doesn't he listen to the fans. Well, I think
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: he's listened to to some. I mean, you know, you
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: obviously listen to some of the narratives. But if you
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: got some people that out here that actually believe that
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: that they don't make moves because they don't want to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: spend money because they'd rather spend it in marketing, if
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: you really believe that, he didn't need to be listening
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: to those fans because those fans don't understand that that
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: is not anywhere close to reality of how it works
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: and how the salary cap works. These guys, these NFL owners,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: there's more money out there in their pockets than you
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: guys can anyone can even fathom. So it's you're playing
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: on a completely different level. There's some really knowledgeable fans
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: out here, you know, and a lot of you guys
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: are are.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: But in certain.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: Aspects of it, it's it's not necessarily raality. We don't know,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: we don't know some of the conversations that are that
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: are had behind it closed doors. It's the same that
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: goes back to that why aren't they signing people earlier?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: Because if they signed them earlier to the deal that
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: was on the table, you would criticized him more than
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: you ever would because you're like, why did you sign
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: him to that deal? Well, he wanted to get it
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: done early, and getting it done early meant signing as this.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: When it comes to business, there's different. You know, there's
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: two sides to it all, and I think we know
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: that all right. We got to keep it going. Here
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: Dylan in Northport, Florida, Dylan.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 19: What's up, hey, Nick, what's going on today?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 12: Dude?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 19: This is kind of nuts here, Yeah, a little crazy?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, yes, yes, Dylan.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 19: Well, I'm pretty monitoring. I think I'll call him down
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 19: here and bring it down a notch. So the salary
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 19: cap thing doesn't make sense to me because owners got
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 19: to pay ninety percent of the cap and cash money
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 19: from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty six for the CBA,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 19: so like he has to spend the cash, so don't
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 19: I don't get that argument. I called the floor and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 19: said it, they got to spend the money. I disagree
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 19: with the way they spend their money sometimes, but the
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 19: money has got to be spent. Another caller was asking
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 19: about defensive tackles linebackers. The best one that are left.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 19: The highest rated ones is Kaleis Campbell, even though he's
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 19: like eighty thousand years old in football years, he's still
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 19: the highest rated nose tackle, and then Eric Hendricks at linebacker,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 19: So maybe make a play at those guys.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 12: And then, you.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 19: Know, we kind of all talked about how we didn't
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 19: think Dallas was gonna really participate in Wave one because
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 19: they have so many holes to fill, so they're gonna
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 19: have to sign a bunch of death players. And I mean,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 19: I guess they participated in Wave one with the Osis signing,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 19: so you can say that, Okay, I'm disappointed a little
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 19: bit that they didn't go after or didn't win. I
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 19: guess you could say the linebacker deal with green Law
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 19: or really, my guy was Splaine that I really wanted.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 19: There was also some nose tackles out there like Tart
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 19: and Puna Ford. Didn't go after those guys or didn't
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 19: win those. I don't know what those negotiations were, if
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 19: they had any, But you know, as the fans right now,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 19: they have nobody kind of in the middle of their
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 19: defense to stop the run. So I'm hoping they just
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 19: do something there because they keep signing free tackle or
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 19: three techniques, some edge flayers, and like, we need a
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 19: nose tackle, man, we don't have one. I think, Mazi,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 19: like you said, my last call is a three tech
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 19: more than a one tech. So like, let's get somebody
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 19: in the middle who can do something against the run
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 19: or it's going to be twenty twenty four all over again.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 19: Where teams that are just running for two hundred yards.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 6: A game on us.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I agree. The defensive tackle and linebacker.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: I mean they have got to figure out how to
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: stop the run. And Osa, as good as as he
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: has been, that's not necessarily that his strength is is,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: you know, as a as a run stopper. So it's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: got to be a focus. It's one way or another
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: that they got to figure ot how to stop the run.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah, one more thing, man, just a quick pivot. Last week,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 19: Rob called in and said something about a rebuild, that
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 19: we're not in a rebuild.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: I disagree.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 19: I think we are in a minor rebuild, and I
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 19: know I think you disagree as well with me. I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 19: just think there's too many holes to fix in a
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 19: single off season, especially given kind of the history of
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 19: how the team does free agency. I think we're looking
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 19: at this free agency period in draft plus next year's
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 19: until we're really competitive again. Our cornerstones like Dak and
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 19: Seed and those really good guys might keep us afloat,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 19: But I don't think we're really in shit, especially given
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 19: we have a new coaching staff as well, and that
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 19: takes a year or two to kind of get going.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 19: In most cases, I think we're really in line for
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 19: twenty twenty six, and then twenty twenty seven is when
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 19: I'm kind of anticipating for us to be if everything
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 19: goes right, to be in that contention conversation again with
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 19: like the Lions and the Eagles and some of those
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 19: other teams. But I just want to get your thoughts
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 19: on that.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're probably not, like, you know, ready to compete
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: at that high level this year, but some different, you know,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: wild cards will throw you know, you'll have a factor
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: here and there of somebody like you know, like your
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: Dern Blands, Jake Ferguson type of guys. You got to
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: make those those leaps if you get some surprise players
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: that way that really take another level, or or you
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: you hit big in the draft, I mean a guy
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: that's ready, you know, think about what Micah Parsons was
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: able to do right off the bat. So it's gonna
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: take something like that and you know, a lot less
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: injuries and a lot more guys that that take that
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: that next leap, which just it just doesn't happen a
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: whole lot. So I agree with you on the fact
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: that they're probably in that same range of trying to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: you know, you're gonna be competing for a playoff spot.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: It's not gonna be easy in the division they're in
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: with with Washington now you know, getting better, uh, or
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: they're they're there. I mean they're Washington's in a championship
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: game and then they're only getting better because they they
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: got you know a lot of young players and they
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: got money to spend. So, uh, they're in good shape.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia obviously in good shape. And then this is gonna
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: be a challenge for the Cowboys to to get to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: the to the playoffs. But you know, I think they're
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: there as far as competition wise, They're gonna have to
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: get you know, somewhat lucky with some of these draft
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: picks and free agent hits to uh to take you know,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: another leap this year. But sometimes do coaching staffs, it
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: can it can work that way. It can It can
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: happen that way when you kind of you know, you
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: change the culture completely. And right now they're in the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: process of doing that. But again, we'll see what happens
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: when they get on the field. I mean, like, you know,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: you can culture can be great, but if you're not
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: good enough to win games, then it doesn't really matter.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: All right, one more real quick Tamra in Iowa.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, how are you?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 15: How are you good?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 9: Hyeh think about it. Then, So I thought everybody was
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 9: joking around about how many calls it takes.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 15: No, they are not.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 9: I called in five hundred times.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we'll thank you.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: That's why I told Chris I need to hear you go.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll give.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 17: You that for that.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: And so then I said, I don't buying a holding
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 9: because I remember why I called it in in the
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 9: first place. And so one of them, so you know me,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: I always come in with a couple serious things and
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: then a couple of fun things.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: Gotta be quick with we with all of them.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: So let's right, Okay, Well, okay, so McCarthy, I told you,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: so he's gone not sure about the new coaches, like
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: what they're saying, let's put the let's put it where
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: you know where it counts, put your money. But yeah,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 9: you put your mouth where your money is or whatever
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: that's saying is you know what, I want to see
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: what they do. And then the other one was, oh,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 9: it's something else. Oh uh so people are talking a
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 9: lot about it's about Jerry Jones and how he's being quiet.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: I don't mind that because I didn't like the whole
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 9: we're all in when he clearly wasn't. So I think
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 9: being quiet is a really good move for him. And
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 9: there I am, and uh, Brian brought us kind of
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: said it, well, he said it better than I did.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 9: He's like, make smart decisions, and I'm like, yes, whatever
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 9: Brian's saying, I'm picking up what he's laying down. And
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: so my fun things are when are we doing the
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: storyline teams? And if I'm not on there, I'm okay.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: So you're pressure, but I would like to know, like
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 9: I would like to hear the roster. I'm sure everybody
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: else is anxiously awaiting that as well.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah we're getting there, uh, not being voted on today,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: that's probably a good thing, but uh no, we're getting close.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: Usually it's it's like the end of this fiscal year,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: which is like right now.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: So I would imagine in the next but I don't
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: I don't want to do it during a show where
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: we're talking free agency and stuff like that. I was
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: definitely by the end of the month, and I'll see
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: if I get adding an extra show for the week.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: But you know, if the bosses allow me to do that,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: I can maybe get one more show so I can
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: put that team.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: Out there and you can't a sponsor right this year,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: working on it, working, I have one more fun things. Well,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 9: I don't know if it is or not fun. Fun
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 9: for me, maybe not for you. It's so hard to
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 9: get in here. You to think about expanding on the
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: storyline and having like two different pots, like I think
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 9: Brian would be excellent, by the way, not that I
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: don't love you, because I do love you in my
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: favorite but it's just hard to get in and so
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: I'm cooking up now.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: Nice all right, have a good one, Thanks for the call,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: Thanks for all the calls today.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: Good stuff.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: We will talk about it next Wednesday when we do
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: our next show.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: See you.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: How many different things have happened between now and then.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: All right for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. Thanks to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: everyone for helping on the chat line as well. We'll

• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
