  Speaker 1: talk to all of them yesterday, or at least the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: position coaches and coordinators. I don't say all of them,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that would probably take a year. They have thirty forty
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: guys on the staff in some capacity, but for the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: main coaches, I guess you could say the position coaches,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the coordinators. We got a chance to talk to them

• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So get a chance to kind of see what we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: saw and get first glimpse of them, and you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they all sound good, they all sound like they know
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: football that they you know that they're going to come
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in and bring good, fresh ideas. You know, you you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: don't want to get caught up in all that because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you hear it all the time. But you know there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: were some positive things that came from that, for sure.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, just this is that time of year
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: where you're starting to get somewhat excited again about the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: about the new stuff. And this team needed some change.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe not a ton of change, but they definitely needed something.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And then they've got some Brian Schottenheimer and then a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lot of the coaches that he's got. All right, eight
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: five five to two ninety seven's the number of calls. See
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: how many calls we can get in today. Let's get
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: us us started in Illinois, davy On in Illinois. What's up? Man?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What it do you doing?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: A couple of weeks, A couple of weeks, I've been,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: you know, working night, so I couldn't get in, but
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I said I'll get in today. I can't get away,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: can't get away too long from y'all.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: A couple of things I was I was listening to
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: talking yesterday, and I heard that Michael was talking about
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: trying to be at o TA started OTAs. I'm hoping
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: that's true because it would be great to see one
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of our leaders being there starting off because I know
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: at OTA is gonna start early because of the new coach,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So it'll be good to see him start off with
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: a bang and see how see how that goes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be nice. I know we didn't have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that last year really with Zimmer, but that would be
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: nice if he could do that, you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, that's true. And then also other coordinators that
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: talked yesterday because I watched I pretty much watched all
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, who was.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Your favorite one that you You've got a quote from
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: him which one and I guess was kind of get
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: you more excited be.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: For Well, I'll ask it back to you. I mean,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Clayton Adams was pretty impressive to me. Uh, And I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: know Flus eba Flus. I know him, and I'm not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: saying that's a bad thing. I just that's what I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: expect from him. And and you know, and he gonna
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see what his defense looks like. But
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: but Clayton Adams, I really didn't know and Uh, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he was a hot commodity, not just by the Cowboys
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but some other teams as it turns out. So I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I'm decided to hear what he said for sure, and uh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be interesting because there's a lot
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of offensive line voices. You have an offensive line coach
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in Riley, but Adams is an offensive line coach as well,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: so you definitely have some some attention to the offensive line,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: which is a good thing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Adams was my favorite. I really like what he said.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, especially when you're talking about violence and getting
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: getting acted, because I think this team is really need
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: a toughness. I think it starts in the lines both,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: but definitely that offic the line get to that toughness
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and bringing it out and really getting out the people
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: for the run game and stuff like that. Lastly, before
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I get off, we're looking to try the Proble to
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: come in the second week of August to Ox and Awork,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: So we're trying to finalize the dates. So we look.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: We really excited about trying to get up there at
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: CEO and be in person.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'll say this about making plans for auxen Art,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta be careful with everything with it. I mean
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I would try to wait as long as you can
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and maybe until the schedule comes out, because you just
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what certain days are going to look like
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: with the games. You know, what weekend is good, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: know the end of it's like you said, the second
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: week of August. But but you know, I think what
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I think we have two home games in the preseason
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this year. Now that that I don't know if that's right,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that maybe just one one home game in the preseason.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But my point is is that got to be careful
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: with with the schedule. The schedule can do some weird,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: weird things. They can put us in weird spots on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Thursday night games, Saturday night games, which means your weekends
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: could be weird. So just throw it out there, you know. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'd hate for you guys to trip up playing a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: trip and the next thing, you know, there's only one
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: practice day in that span or two days or something
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like that. So you always it's hard to get ahead
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of it, is what I really want I'm trying to say.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I got it. Like I said, with no job,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I got to try.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: To fish do it. You gotta do it now. We'll
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we'll make it work. Man, Well you guys will you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: guys will be great, It'll be it'll be the fun
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: experience whenever. Just you said, second week of August.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, looking looking like right now. And I want to
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: get on them books when I get up there.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing some books, bringing some books.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't wait. I remember you're telling another guy,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: so I'm definitely looking ex tited to get one. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: other than that, man, all right, man, I have a
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: good one.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I'm uh, I'm listening for the rest.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Thanks, David, I appreciate that. Let's go by the way, Nick, Yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we do have two home games, two home games next year. Yes,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we had two on the road this year, which that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: makes me think that I think or hope that maybe
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: training camps a little bit shorter than that it was
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: last year. In those thirty days last year, I mean,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that's too long.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: You remember two years ago the Cowboys went did the
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: two home two home games, but they did come home
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: and then go back to California for another week.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: If I remember, I think I would be all right
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with that. That'd be all right, come home for a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: couple of days and then go back. Yeah. He starts
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: staying you know, a full month. I mean that's where
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you start getting fires and stuff like that in the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: complex and all that. I mean, just just weird stuff happens.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You can't be doing that. All right, Let's go to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Anthony and Miami.
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: Anthony, Nick the quick, How you doing, my gud?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I'm good. You're probably the only person that's gonna call
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: today that's not dealing with the same stuff with the weather.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You're probably the only one. I would think, yes, And.
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: I've you know, I feel bad for the people that's
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: really going through it. We just got a little rain.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: They might get a little colder starting tonight.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, you guys deal with a different kind of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: weather later in the in the summer, so it's all.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It all evens out.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you better believe it, all right, man?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: What you got Anthony?
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: Uh? Come on, man? You know me, Man, I try
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: positive keep it and you know it's a race, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: but man, it's one thing in my spirit. Man, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: was gonna lay off. You know, I laid off for
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: a week. I had caught four times in a row.
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: I laid off for a week together people a chance
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: because it's once a week. Then I listened to all
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: the podcasts as I do, support everything, and I look
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: at comments under the podcast and I try to put
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: positive stuff, but that's so much negativity. And one thing
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: that a lot of people, I think are the ones
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: who are saying this are wrong. They are wrong about this.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: We are not.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: We can't trade Michael Parsons. Please stop, people, please stop,
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: Let's stop. We're gonna build this team. We got new
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: cooche staff. This. This young man is showing true leadership.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: He's trying. He is truly trying. When you get a
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: young guy around twenty five years old Nick Underside trying
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: to do what he's doing, and he's taking some of
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: the negative criticism that he's done, but he's so impactful.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: If the ones that just don't like him apparently would
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: watch and see the impact he has for the rest
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: of the guys on the defense, right, I mean, three
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: All Pros and four Pro Bowls stopped at people. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: then the man said that I don't have to be
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: the highest I'm not gonna be that. I don't have
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: to reset no market and all that. I need players
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: in here, so I'm do that. I'm not saying Dak
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: had to do that, but that's true leadership. So let's
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: get this draft thing going, do some free age. If
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: he's gonna do it, get me fifty three guys out there,
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: and let this young bull be a leader, and let's go.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: Let's get behind him. He's gonna be a cowboy for
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: a long time. People, He's great. He's an anomaly, So
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: accept it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got to say environment.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: I appreciate your brother, all.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Right, Anthony. I appreciate that. I'm curious to see or
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to just to know how many people share that with you,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and and and not just on this show, but just
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: just in general, just cowboy fans in general. I I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: agree with you, and and I I caution when I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: say this about leadership. Nobody really knows what leadership is.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You know. I'm not saying you don't know what it is,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but you don't know what these what leadership is for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: each player, each team, what really goes on who's being
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a leader? Who isn't. Just because you're the quarterback doesn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: mean you're the leader. And I'm not talking about Dak.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Dak is a leader. I'm just saying in general, we've
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: had it. I don't think Romo would be considered the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: best leader in the world. Uh, he'd probably say that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But but just but sometimes you know, you you have
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to be the leader by example, be the vocal leader,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. And you know whether or not he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he's leading them in the workouts out here or doing
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: whatever he's doing. But the way he goes about his business,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: way he plays, the way he wrecks football games, I'd
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: like more people to follow that. So if that's a leader,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: then that that would be fine. Now, again i don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: know everything that goes on, and I've heard a lot.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I've heard people say a lot there's people that have
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to deal with them that that would trade him. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: know that. I know that for a fact. I've heard that,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, well, that's interesting. Then I watch
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the game. And I watched a meaningless Washington game at
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the last game of the season where he's going out
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: looking for stats. Well, that's okay, get stats. Stats are good.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Sacks are good. Sax means you're getting off the field,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you're making plays. I don't have a problem with that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with the guy going out
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that I'm trying to get three or four sacks. Now,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: if you're not, if you're not stopping the run. If
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you're going inside when you didn't get you broke containment
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and there's a nine yard runt. Okay, that's a problem.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Stay within the game plan, but go out and make plays.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Be a leader. I'm for that. I'm not I'm not
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: trading Michael Parsons. He's a He's a once in an
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: every twenty years type of player. I don't think he's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: trade him. I think you build and get another Michaeh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Parsons and you get another guy around him. That's what
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I would do. I draft another one and try to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: just let have a party at the quarterback every every
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: third down. All right, Robbie and Ko Kobe's Florida.
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: Nick and Anthony from Miami, you guys just preach it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: I love what you both just.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: Saidang was awesome.
• 11:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: You don't get a generational talent with every draft pick.
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: Why are you going to trade two draft picks for
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: Parsons and not.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Get the guy that's half as.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: Good as him?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just all.
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: Want that ninety nine ranked player in Matt.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just assuming two draft picks.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, you could agree even three.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: But what are the chances.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: How many times we talked about it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You could have a star player draft picks. Yeah, you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: could have a star player and trade him for an
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: old and that's it. I mean I've seen it. It happens.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Let's hope not Luca.
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm not talking about that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It happens.
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: Hey, how's things going, man? How's the kids and family?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we're bundled up doing doing our thing here.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: It's yeah, Beam said, it's cold there.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: You need to bring him on.
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: You bring Jake on the show again as his person here.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He did try to for Nachla's way out of school
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: today because it was like thirteen degrees and wind chill
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of one, so he thought he needed to come to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: work with me today. But now he has to stay
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and learn. What do you got, Robery?
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: Not that, man.
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: I just wonder what's going on in Cowboys, Rold. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: haven't heard any real news lately, and I'm hoping to
• 12:42
  Speaker 9: hear something good from you.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: How about that?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, this is what I would say for
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for everybody for the rest of the of the week.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: You can start today and tomorrow if you haven't already.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Is check out those those videos we'll have on the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: side of of our of our coaches, you know, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it's all it's all nice and good. No one's lost
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the game. Everybody's excited about being here, being with the Cowboys,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: being with Shot and Humber. They're saying all the right things.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So if you can get anything from that, great, If not,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean I interviewed the running backs coach
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Derek Foster today. He doesn't know his running backs are
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to be. He doesn't know who he's going to coach,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he talked about duce Vaughan a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: little bit. Uh and uh, you know he could relate
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to duce Vaughan. So Derek Foster can He's a running back,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he played running back, not not gonna be in the NBA. Yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: none of our coaches are going to be in the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: NBA to be you know, they're gonna not gonna have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a pickup basketball game. So which is fine that that's okay,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that's not what it's about. But but uh, what my
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: point is is, is not only Derek Foster going to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: be coaching douce Vaan, but he's coached Austin Eckler. He
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: coached with the Saints last year with Alvin.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: KM was really good in San Diego for a couple
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: of years too.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. So he understands the whole package there for
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for these running backs, whether it be big guys, short guys, uh,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: quick guys, whatever it is. So, uh, you know, if
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he can help reduce fun and not only that, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you know you've you've got I forget his first name,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Riley the offensive line coach for Kansas he was at
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Kansas State. He's coached Cooper Bebie and obviously so those
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: those yeah, that could be you know, another good situation there.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So a lot of good stuff. That's really the main
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: things Robbie that's coming from the you know, the new
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: from the news side year.
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, cool, Hey, can I ask one more question?
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: What's up with the All Storylines team?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It's getting there, getting there? Yeah, I mean we're all right.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Well here here's what I'm working on. I'll like thanks
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: for the call, Robbie. I'm gonna I'll take this off there,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: keep the phone lines open. So we're getting we're getting
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: close to kind of figuring out the team. I usually
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like to do that at the end of this you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: fiscal year if you will, which which will kind of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: take us through February and then we roll over into
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: into March, and uh working on a sponsor for this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: for and working on a sponsor for the show, not
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: not not not really just for the shirts but sort
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of for the shirts, but also for the for the show.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So we've got a couple of got some guys from
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: upstairs in our marketing team client services that are that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: are talking to me about you know, not that it's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: my decision, but they're just talking to me about different
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: sponsors and what would be a good good fit here
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: for the show. And I'm hoping to you know, slap
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: their logo on the side of a shirt here so
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: uh they can pay for it. That's really what it
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: comes down to. But from the team standpoint, uh still,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the team is pretty much set. I'm kind of working
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: on putting the final final touches of on all of that,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but and figuring out how I want to do it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we're we're getting there, Robbie. And you've you've
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you've got a spot. I'll just I'll just say I'm
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: not gonna reveal the team. I think you've got a spot,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Shelby in Virginia. Shelby, what's up.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It's been a while, Nick, how's it going. It's going good.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: Oh, I'm doing great. It's it's great to talk to
• 16:12
  Speaker 11: you again. Yeah, got a new job. I'm teaching, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 11: so their schedule has just not allowed me to call in.
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: But I realize now that you all start at ten thirty,
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: I've got a little window here while they're in music.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: So I'm here talking to you. I'm just happy to
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: be here.
• 16:25
  Speaker 12: But I don't know that we have we.
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: Talked since the Commander's Game of last season.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I've been here. I mean,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I mean i've been here. I don't know if you've
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: got a chance to call. But you're talking about since
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you did like the super active kindness and gave the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: tickets away to h So another caller.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: Oh, well, you don't have to put it like that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: But it was just a ton of fun. And Mark
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: from Philly and I will text each other all the time,
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: and so we're just buddies now. It's the funniest. I'll
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: text them pictures of my kid and stuff. And he
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: sent me an update from downtown Philly right before the parade,
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: really and all the porta potties and stuff. Yeah, so okay,
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: I created a great storyline friendship.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Just quick, if anyone doesn't remember or didn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: know about this thing. At the end of this last season,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season, last game of the year,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Shelby had two tickets to the last game and and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: put them here. What we did a trivia question or something.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: We did a trivia question and with somebody called in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: or did a from the text line, got it? Got
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it right? What you said? It was Mark and Philly.
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: Yep, Mark and Philly.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And then he went to the game with y'all. And
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: then and now that's pretty awesome. I know, Chris and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I got a photo with you down there, you and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: your dad right so, and.
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: My dad says hello as well. I don't know if
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: fieldbial make it on soon either with work, but as
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: he was, we were talking the other day about the
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: show Blair right, yes, Blair Blair from Virginia.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Great recall.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Nice nice. So what'd you got it?
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: It's less of a question, it's kind of a question.
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: I wrote an article for my blog a few years ago.
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: I think It was twenty twenty one called the Quarterback Dilemma,
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: and it basically broke down quarterback salaries against Super Bowl wins,
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: and it found that the average salary of a quarterback
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: that won the Super Bowl was like eleven and a
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: half million over the previous decade. And now my homes
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: just kind of gone in and messed up my numbers
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: a bit. But I guess my larger question is why
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: is there not a sense among quarterbacks? And this is
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: kind of league wide that I can my career will
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: be about three times what it is if I could
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: just take maybe fifteen less, right, I mean that's a tackle,
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: maybe a tackle and a half, and my life changes forever,
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: my team's lives, all of them changed forever.
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: So I don't know.
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: It was just something where I was watching Dax try
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: to get his deal and kind of coming out saying
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: trying to be maybe a little noble by saying like
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: I'm just trying to get other quarterbacks paid. And as
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: a fan, I just watched that and thought like it
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: just sounds like elim saying, you know, like hey, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: just want to see bezos get paid. You know, It's
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: like you've got a whole team of people under you
• 19:05
  Speaker 11: that are contributing to your success. And you know, I mean,
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: like a fifth of your contract is could be three
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: more contracts.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: That's just always confused me considering how good with advertisements
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: and you know, sponsorships your life can be as a
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: Super Bowl champion.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're You're right. And I think I understand
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: what you're saying. I understand the point. Why not if
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you're trying to help other other players, other quarterbacks in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the league, why don't you trying to help other players
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: on your own team and y'all have more success and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: all that. Where it gets tricky is when you have
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: agents that are agents of other other top players in
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the league, other quarterbacks too, and uh, you know, because
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: all these deals are put up next to each other.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So this guy got this, I'm better than him.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: If he got this, then I need I need to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: get this. And that's how it happens. And it keeps,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you know, it keeps raising the stakes for all the quarterbacks.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And so that's kind of the game that's played. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: there's only one Tom Brady. You know, Tom Brady at
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the end of his career still winning Super Bowls. Making
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: twenty million, twenty five million, it didn't matter to him
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: any anymore. He probably he knew he was going to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: get a broadcasting deal to to, you know, reset that
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: market or if you will. So I wish there I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: had a better answer. I mean, that's just kind of
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I hate to say, like that's the way it is,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: but that's just it is the way it is. And
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: unless you're going to have a quarterback, that just says
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care about about the way
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the model is and the plan. I'm going to just
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: do it my way and try to win right now.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But that's just not that hasn't been the way this
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: market has worked.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's sort of where the same thing I've I've
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: found myself, same.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Reason I've come to.
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: I know with mahomes it's it's like ten years, five
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: hundred million, record breaking. But but like y'all were talking
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: about last week with the A, will need to mess
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: with the accounting a little bit. I mean, that's a
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: team friendly deal. I mean ten years in the future,
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: that's like wildly team friendly. Though the figure looks ridiculous
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: and Brady was Brady was always kind of taken mid
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: to high market value, but like certainly less than a
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: five times six time however many time champion as he
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: went deserved.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: So I don't know, I just.
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: It's just I see stuff like this where you've got
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: your predecessor, and your predecessors, I mean, the you know,
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: Aikman in the nineties, they both they're both in the
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: booth now. So I guess I guess that kind of
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: works against me because Romo didn't want a super Bowl
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: and got it. But I don't know, I just that's
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: bothered me. But yeah, tough question to answer.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: Is great talking to you.
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: I got to hop off and get the class, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: always a treat.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Shelby, appreciate it, thank you for the call.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I wish I had a better answer. I mean, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't you know you you wish
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: more more players would kind of see it that way.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But then again, this is their time too, you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that second contract is their moment, their time to get
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: what's there for them, and and they've earned it. So
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to say, don't don't take that,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: don't take the bag when it's standing, you know, staring
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: him in the face. All right, let's go to John
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and Delaware. What's up, John?
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: How you doing?
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: Nick?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm good?
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: Uh, I got a few questions. I'm like the last
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: the last cop of callers. I'm tired of crowd babies
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: who uh who constantly got a wine and complaining about
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: what the cowboys are doing. If you're not a fan,
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: stay away and let us rebuild our teams, get back
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: the way. We need to be on top of the
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: division running the show because I'm not comfortable being down
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: here with the giant, I really not. I do have
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: a question for you, though. Is there any truth to
• 22:45
  Speaker 14: Boone trying to take Allbree to Tennessee?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Say that again? Bones trying to take who to Tennessee Allbree?
• 22:54
  Speaker 14: So I heard a while back. I don't know if
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: it's take news or what, but I heard that that
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: Bone sponsors could possibly try to take all breed Tennessee.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Got it? That would be tampering. Uh he's under contract.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He's under contract, and yeah he he has another year.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So so no, you can't do that now. Anger the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: punter is a free agent. Uh, Siege the Snapper, he's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a free agent, and Turpin is a restricted free agent.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: C J.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Goodwin I believe is a free agent. So I have
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a feeling, Uh, somebody's gonna be playing for the Titans
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: this year, somebody that we know. Uh, that would not
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: surprise me at all. But it won't be Aubrey this year,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: unless there's a trade or anything like that. But I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: don't see that. I hope it's not Turpin either, but
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that that one is interesting. He's gonna you have to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: put a tender on him. You're gonna put a first
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: round tender. They're not doing that. They could put a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: second round tender, which is about five million dollars per year,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: well one year, five year, five million dollar contract, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: if you someone signed him, then then you get a
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: second round pick. And I don't think Tennessee's gonna do
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that because they have the number one pick in the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: second round, so it would be this, you know, thirty
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: third overall pick. They're not doing that for for Turpin.
• 24:16
  Speaker 14: I got you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 14: You think we have a chance to get each job.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think there's a chance. I mean,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I look at two screens here. One of them's NFL
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Network and they have running draft. Everybody's got their own
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: mock draft right now, and I see I see him
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: going a little bit ahead of twelve. Though. We'll see
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: what happens, you know, when he goes to combine and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Pro Day and he runs and all that kind of stuff.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But uh, there's a shot. I mean, but I have
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a feeling that that the top running back in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: draft is probably not going to go to twelve. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: think running backs have made a comeback and and I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: just don't think a special running back like him will
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: last at twelve.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 14: And I saw that thing and that Emmon Smith was
• 25:03
  Speaker 14: talking about, and then I found out that Evan Swift
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: had a drinking a little bit.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Well he was. He was selling uh of tequila, wasn't he.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, maybe he maybe he was.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:16
  Speaker 14: But when he said he doesn't think Cowboys could handle this,
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: I think this is exactly what we need to shake
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: up the division.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean, they've got they've got to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: draft a running back. They have to draft a young
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: running back. If it's the first round, then it would
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: be gent If it's not him, then it would probably
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: be a second or third rounder. But I think that
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you've got to get a quality running back, young, ready
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to ready to come in here and play and right
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: now be a starter.
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: And so I'm ready to match the noise because I
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: know you'd be invited with the Cowboys and a fan
• 25:51
  Speaker 14: as well. We can't have another season like last year.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It was tough. I mean it was it was. It
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: was a tough one because you've got good players, You're
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: coming off three really good seasons. You expect to be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: at that level, and it just wasn't there. And then
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and then the depth wasn't there because every time they
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: had injuries, they just couldn't they couldn't withstand it. So
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: We need to bring I think we need to bring
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: the class back to the super Bowl because the Eagles
• 26:18
  Speaker 14: definitely have no class.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: All right, well they never have, so all right, John
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: what's up, man?
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: How you doing on?
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: Nick?
• 26:30
  Speaker 15: All right?
• 26:31
  Speaker 16: Nice and warm? Down here are you?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I'm good? Not not nice and warm? Actually warm man,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: it's all good.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: Well how are you doing doing?
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: I just got a couple of points here. It's just
• 26:42
  Speaker 16: the Mica stuff real quick, just for context, where everybody
• 26:45
  Speaker 16: wants to trade on the rams. They offered two first
• 26:50
  Speaker 16: and a second for Brian Burns twenty two to the Panthers.
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: I think Micah is obviously a better player. So we're
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: probably looking at three for and maybe a second or
• 27:01
  Speaker 16: a third at least. And uh, you're probably gonna get
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: that if somebody wants to do it from a contender.
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: That's not going to come from a rebuilding team. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 16: it's going to come from a team where you're picking
• 27:11
  Speaker 16: in the twenties. And so we want more geitens Marmazi
• 27:13
  Speaker 16: Smith or do we want you know, Michael Parsons those
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: late first round picks or like a it's like throwing
• 27:18
  Speaker 16: a dart. It's a very hit or mess. So I'm not.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Interested and throw Tyler Smith in there too, to be
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to be fair, I mean, like Tyler Smith in that say,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you know, like like he's a two time pro bowler
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and an All Pro guard and and that was a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: good pick, you know, And that was a pick that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that that a lot of people criticize. A lot of
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: people thought that was a terrible pick for a guy
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that has holding penalties at Tulsa and he's not facing
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: great competition and you know, he was playing tackle. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it's another example of these big strong guys that are
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: playing tackle in college, but they're going to be guards.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: They're better at guard, and if you play them at guard,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to have in the player. Larry
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Allen and Zach Barton could have played and sometimes did
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: play tackle, but they weren't. They weren't as good as guards.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Leonard Davis, Robert Gallery, Mackai Beck. Then you're just seeing
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it over and over again. And I think I think
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the kid from Texas, Calvin Banks, is probably going to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: be in that boat as well. So but I know
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm getting off the track here. Your point is, don't
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: trade Michael Parsons if you're gonna get, you know, back
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: in first round picks. And most of the time, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it's just hit or miss. They've had success both ways
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 28:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, if you told me i'd get three Tyler Smith
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: caliber players, I'd do it. Yeah, but you probably won't
• 28:41
  Speaker 16: because this doesn't work out that way.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's the thing. And you know, you know
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: what you're trading. You are trading a really, really good
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: football player, and and you know he he makes think
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: about this last two years, Dante Fowler. On the other side,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Dante Fowler, you know kind of revived his career with
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, got got five sacks, landed a deal in Washington,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and had even better year Carl Lawson. Now it wasn't
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: just because of Micah, but I mean Carl Lawson came
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: in and he had a successful year, you know, reviving
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: his career. Imagine what a guy that's not in that boat,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: a guy that's ready to turn the turn the corner.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: What can another guy be with with a star player?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of what what I would like
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to see the Cowboys do is pair him up with
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: someone else and then.
• 29:32
  Speaker 16: Yeah, they got some guys in the draft here that
• 29:34
  Speaker 16: are really nice edge defenders and interior guys to the
• 29:36
  Speaker 16: defensive tackle depth is extremely deep in this draft, some
• 29:39
  Speaker 16: of the best positions. So I think it's looking good
• 29:42
  Speaker 16: for us to six the middle of that defense and
• 29:44
  Speaker 16: maybe the D line. My other point I wanted to
• 29:47
  Speaker 16: talk about here was last week Rob Caldmen talked about
• 29:50
  Speaker 16: the spending money and all that. I just wanted to
• 29:53
  Speaker 16: clarify kind of how the cap works. The CBA the
• 29:57
  Speaker 16: requires teams to spend ninety percent of this dollar cap
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: over three years twenty twenty four, twenty five twenty six
• 30:03
  Speaker 16: the CAP's estimated to be like seven ninety five million.
• 30:06
  Speaker 16: They got to spend like cash money seven hundred and
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: fifteen million. If they don't do that, they get fined
• 30:12
  Speaker 16: and the the NFLPA then allocates that money whateverra they're
• 30:15
  Speaker 16: missing to the players as they see fit. So they
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: can't just like hoard cash and not spend it. They've
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: got to spend it. And I think I'm more realistic.
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: If you have an issue with the front office and
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: how they do things, I think the more realistic thing
• 30:27
  Speaker 16: to say is maybe they don't manage the cap as
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: well as other teams. But a big part of that
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: is the quarterback contract. Like Shelby mentioned, for con, I
• 30:34
  Speaker 16: did the same research as he did dec I think
• 30:36
  Speaker 16: was last year twenty fifteen, the average cap percentage was
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: eight and a half percent for a super Bowl quarterback
• 30:41
  Speaker 16: back is twenty four percent. With their restructure this season,
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: he's thirty three percent right now, So we'll still take
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: up a quarter of the cap and there hasn't been
• 30:50
  Speaker 16: a quarterback that's going to the super Bowl. It's that
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: high of a cap hit, at least in the day
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: of the IE. Research from twenty fifteen and beyond. So
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: Mahomes is getting there, but you also see where his
• 30:59
  Speaker 16: offensive starting to suck too, so and he can't do
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: it all. I mean, he got to the super Bowl,
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: but that offense was terrible. There's a bunch of old
• 31:04
  Speaker 16: geezers on there. So you know, it's just tough. They're
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: in a tough spot. But I don't think it's fair
• 31:10
  Speaker 16: to say they're not willing to spend the money. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 16: just think if you want to question it, it's maybe
• 31:13
  Speaker 16: how they spend the money. Like the Zeke deal wasn't great.
• 31:15
  Speaker 16: They kind of got bullied into that. They pay for
• 31:17
  Speaker 16: him years after he's gone. Michael Gallup, same thing. So
• 31:20
  Speaker 16: that's my issue sometimes is maybe the deals they give
• 31:23
  Speaker 16: out to the wrong players. Jalen Smith was kind of
• 31:25
  Speaker 16: got paid early, it was a friendlier deal, but it
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: still hurt them in the long run. So just the
• 31:30
  Speaker 16: thought I had did a little research and just wanted
• 31:32
  Speaker 16: to put it out there for everybody.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. Thanks thanks for the call, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: thanks for that research, because Dylan, you're right, it's those
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: second contracts and when you look back the last ah
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: what two years, though I can count five or six
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: restructures of those guys, who has actually lived up to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the contract extension we're talking about. I remember being at
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: camp MALIEK. Cooker got the got a got a new deal,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs, Terrence Steele. You could probably throw Donovan and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Wilson in that might have been from the year before
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Dak CD. I'm I'm I could be missing somebody. But
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: but those guys right there, well, who's who's actually played
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to that level? You You wouldn't say dak of course
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: nine sixty million a year and he got hurt and
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: they weren't playing well even before that. So certainly not
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that Terrence Steele, No, MALIEK. Cooker, No, not really. Trayvon Diggs,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: now he got hurt too. I mean, like so some
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of it's not their fault, but I'm just saying they're
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: not living up to now c D. Yeah, CD had
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: had a great year last year. Played you know, he
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: he did everything you would want to kind of earn
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of deal. Played, played hurt as long as
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: he could, you played through a lot of pain and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: played well. So you know, but at one out of six,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind that's kind of the problem. And so
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and you guys talking, and there's a lot of people
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: that say, you know, you can get to one hundred
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: million or seventy five million or whatever you can by
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: extending some some contracts. But I just mentioned all of
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: them that you could that you could do. Do you
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: want to extend those? Do you want to extend the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Terrence Steel deal, Trey von Diggs, Malie Cooker, Do you
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: want to do that? I mean, I don't think you do.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: So it's not as easy as you think to get
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: to that number, because that's that's part of the problem
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: you've been in the first place. So anyways, let's got
• 33:32

  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 36:05
  Speaker 18: So formerly of Alexander, Virginia. I told you last time
• 36:09
  Speaker 18: that we were moving to the Metroplex, and I had
• 36:12
  Speaker 18: you and Chris kind of see if you could guess
• 36:14
  Speaker 18: what suburbvised in at the beginning with the F and
• 36:16
  Speaker 18: neither of you got it. So have you had time
• 36:18
  Speaker 18: to think of what suburb I'm in now?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: It starts with an F. Correct, that's that Frisco?
• 36:26
  Speaker 12: Nope?
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Is it Fate Texas?
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: Nope?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Where where is it? Sorry? It's fair fair of you, okay,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: because people in Alexandria, Virginia that you left behind that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I don't really care. There's like, he lives in Dallas.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: He lives in Dallas. That's where. That's where. That's what
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: he says.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I know, all right, And so get used to this.
• 36:44
  Speaker 18: One day it's eighty, the next day it's thirty.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. Yeah, it's kind of like cowboy fans. Really,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you know, cowboy fans is like the weather here, you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it's trade Mica. One day, it's like, I think this
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: team can go to the Super Bowl. It's you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's up and down. It's a roller coaster
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: life here in Dallas, all.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, as far as the weather.
• 37:05
  Speaker 18: So so really, I think I caught the tail end of, uh,
• 37:10
  Speaker 18: what you're saying before you went to break And I
• 37:12
  Speaker 18: think you're talking about contracts and maybe players, certain players
• 37:16
  Speaker 18: living up to their contract after they signed a second one?
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: Was I am I on the right hauf about that?
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: And I mean, in my opinion.
• 37:24
  Speaker 18: Going back, like you said, the only one I can
• 37:26
  Speaker 18: think of is Ceedee Lamb. I mean going back to
• 37:29
  Speaker 18: like the Marcus Warrence and some of those, they just
• 37:32
  Speaker 18: like they'll they'll be in one game where they get
• 37:35
  Speaker 18: like a couple of good stats and everything stopping the
• 37:38
  Speaker 18: run or what have you, and then they disappear for
• 37:39
  Speaker 18: like four games. This was like, okay, like where are
• 37:43
  Speaker 18: these players after we signed them to the big, huge contracts?
• 37:45
  Speaker 18: And yeah, it's just it's just not a good look
• 37:48
  Speaker 18: for us to, you know, sign players like that and
• 37:52
  Speaker 18: then they're not giving us, you know, the bang for
• 37:54
  Speaker 18: the buck after we sign them for that second contract.
• 37:57
  Speaker 18: And my question to you is, so in this coming draft,
• 38:02
  Speaker 18: if you had to go offense, and you might have
• 38:04
  Speaker 18: been asked this before, but I can't remember. If you
• 38:07
  Speaker 18: had to choose between wide receiver and running back, which
• 38:10
  Speaker 18: one would you go. I'm still saying wide receiver because,
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: like I said on other past calls I've done, is
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: I don't think our wide Receiver Corp Has been the
• 38:21
  Speaker 18: same sense of Mark Cooper left and granted I get
• 38:24
  Speaker 18: why they let him go and all that stuff, I
• 38:26
  Speaker 18: just don't to this day feel they accurately replaced him
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: with the talent that you know that Amari Cooper had.
• 38:34
  Speaker 18: So yeah, and if that was the case, then our
• 38:37
  Speaker 18: Receiver Corps might have been a little bit better than
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: what it's meant the last several years. So anyways, with
• 38:43
  Speaker 18: that all, hang up, and I love the show. It
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: is getting hard to call on, but I'll keep.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Trying, buddy, all right, Thanks, Tony, appreciate that, Tony from
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: now Fairview, Texas. Yeah. The tricky part about the Amari
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Cooper chase and and CD is I remember it was
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: told to me that that people in the building feel
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: like CD will blossom without Amari here, like that he's
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: ready to take that next level. And from a money standpoint,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: they feel like they've got a better Amari Cooper here
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: with CD, let's spend that money elsewhere, which is what
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: they did, you know, they they they did that. They
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they got three or four players with that money. One
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of them was Dorence Armstrong the first time they re
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: signed him, and that was a pretty good, you know
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: pick up there and some other players. Another one was
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: James Washington, the receiver that didn't work out, you know,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: obviously got hurt and stuff, but so that that was
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a money moved there. And but but you're right about
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: they really haven't had that that one two punch. Now,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks was supposed to be that guy, and I
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: think at the end of last season he was. He
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: was playing that way. I think with with with Cooks
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and CD, that was pretty dynamic there, but it didn't
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: happen this year. And Jalen Tolbert's tough to figure out.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's he has some moments where you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: he has some nice plays, I mean, led the team
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in touchdown catches. I still think most people would look
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: at him and say, you know, as a third, you know,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: like everyone's fine with him being the three. They wont
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: another number two. To answer your question about receiver, versus
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: running back. You know it, I think I think I
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: would just looking at this draft, I don't know if
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: there's the receiver there at twelve that I would I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: would take. I don't I don't think so I would
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: take a back. But just you know, it's just just one.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: You just got one option there. I'm just not as
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: as sold on going to get a receiver right now.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I understand the importance of a second one, but I
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: think maybe maybe free agency or maybe a little later
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: in the draft. But you know that that gets kind
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: of tough too. I think with with Tolbert going in
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: his fourth year, I think he's got to be your
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: number two. I mean, I just think that's that has
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: to happen here from the Caps standpoint. All right, let's
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: go to Sheriff Lonnie. He's in Kansas. What's up. How
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: Oh? Just freezing? But other than that, okay, okay.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same. I know you're a retired sheriff, but I
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: like to just I like to just call you the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: sheriff and just feel like you're still, you know, kind
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: of patrolling the area there on on your watch.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: Well, I kind of do. That's kind of what I do.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you ever are you ever really a
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: retired sheriff? You know, you're always the sheriff.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, now I have it. I still keep up
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: with everything going on. My son's the sheriff's deputy in
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: the next county over.
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: Oh nice, And so he's always.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: Calling me and and we still talk about law enforcement
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: stuff plus the Cowboys, and we argue every day about
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Micah Parsons. Yeah, and I say, you gotta keep it,
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: you know, you know what, can I tell a story?
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: One time? One time I was driving and I got
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: pulled over because I was going too close to the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: car in front of me. I don't agree with that.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Whatever I got pulled over. Guy's telling me why he
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: looks at my license. He's a huge cowboy fan. We
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: start talking and I'm kind of in a hurry, obviously
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: because I'm you know, I was driving past. We start
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: talking for ten minutes and I got out of the ticket.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: But you know, before I know it, he's he's there
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: on the right side, you know, because the of the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: of the car. You know, he's not gonna get hit
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: by their cars traffic, and he's asking about Zeke and
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: if Zeke's gonna sign a contract and all this kind
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and I'm just sitting there like, yeah, yeah,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: maybe so anyways, it's cool when I think about you
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: being a cowboy fan. I think about that really nice
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: officer who did pull me over, but he let me
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: go after ten minutes of talking cowboys.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: It was cool.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: That's cool.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: Happy I I But now I I think you I
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: tell my son you got to keep you got to
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: keep you you don't. I mean, if you try to
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: take draft picks, you're just guessing on whether they're going
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: to be good or not. Yeah, period, I mean you
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: got you know what you've got in Micah Parsons, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: uh I think I think a lot of the callers
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: are the same way.
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: Just you just have to keep.
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: My other thing is is the thing I'm asking is
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: franchise tag. Do you think they'll tag anybody at all
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: this year? I don't And uh no.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think so at all. Oh so would be
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I mean twenty four millions? I mean one year deal.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I can't say that one.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: That's what I was just curious on what your thought
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: was mine. I'm on the fence. Yeah, I don't know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: but you got you gotta think about a little bit
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: about what you're paying them, yeah, uh and what they're
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: gonna get.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So well, all right, Sheriff, thanks thanks for the call. Lonnie. Uh.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I'll say this though, this kind of goes back to
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the last two callers, uh, Dylan and Tony. You know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you talked about Osa and do you resign him? And
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you look at the success that they've had and or
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: haven't had with these with these players on this next
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: contract and knowing what it's going to be, you know,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough, I mean, And then I always
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: go back to the Dorrance Armstrong thing. What if they
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: would have resigned Durrance Armstrong last year for fifteen million
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen million a year and he got five sacks, six sacks.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had a pretty good season in Washington,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't, you know, earth chattering. But for fifteen
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: million a year, I mean, I think it would be
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: as a disappointment, you know. So, and and I like
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Osa a lot. I just I just don't see a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: ton of games where he's just changing the game and
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: that kind of money. I mean, you just expect an
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald type situation and it wouldn't be I not
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: that I not that I know, but I'll say this
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: talking to matt Eberflews yesterday and he, you know, he
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: was a little uncomfortable talking about a lot of you know,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: players and stuff because it's there's still a lot of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: questions to be answered there and decisions and those aren't
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: really his decisions, but he's going to be asked, what
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: do you think of these guys? This guy, And it
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: was very clear he loves the play of osa Odigi
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Zuo like he he's a big, big fan. So if
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it works for him to come back and whatever, it's
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: going to be one of the reasons's going to because
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: mattyberflu says, we got to have this guy, this guy,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: you know, he really really likes him a lot, so
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and I understand that most most
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: coaches would, but at that price, you know, it's it's tough.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, kids love the toys, they love
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: all the toys, but for the money and how much
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: it is, I don't even think about that that kind
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And not that Maddieberflus doesn't know that he's
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: been head coach. He understands the business side of it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: But but so he loves the player, but at that price,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: it's going to be it's going to be a challenge
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: for him. All right, let's go to Armando. He's in
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Mexico City. Good, how are you doing?
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: Fine?
• 46:39
  Speaker 19: Thanks? A little bomuse still because of the Super Bowl,
• 46:42
  Speaker 19: but you know, yeah, I hope it has a silver
• 46:47
  Speaker 19: lining that makes Jerry and the front.
• 46:49
  Speaker 13: Office wo change their ways a little bit.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: So maybe see what what kind of ways are you
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: hoping they change? Be specific free agency.
• 47:00
  Speaker 19: Yeah, a little bit more outside free agency, you know, yeah.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I think they will. I think they'll sign more players
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: from the outside than than they have in the past.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I believe that. I've said it several times. I think
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: that you have to sign a lot. You have twenty
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: five free agency, You're going to have to sign some
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and I think they're going to pick more from the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: outside teams than their own. That's what I believe. But
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're going to be super aggressive and
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: have press conference type you know, signings where they hold
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the jersey up and all that. I'm not saying that
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see a lot of that, but I'm hoping for one,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: give me one splash move. That's what I'm hoping about.
• 47:40
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 47:42
  Speaker 19: So anyway, Nika, you know, they have just announced a
• 47:45
  Speaker 19: few days ago that the Steelers are going to play
• 47:48
  Speaker 19: in Ireland next year. So I was wondering what's your
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: opinion on international games, because I've seen a lot of
• 47:56
  Speaker 19: fans that are not really very pleased with that, especially
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: games in Europe and Brazil and now maybe Australian this
• 48:04
  Speaker 19: year because of the long flights and the time change,
• 48:07
  Speaker 19: and not so much of Mexico and Kindada games. But
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: of course I'm biased since I'm here, but what's your
• 48:14
  Speaker 19: opinion on that. A lot of people don't like it
• 48:17
  Speaker 19: because they say they take away a game from their
• 48:20
  Speaker 19: own team locally or you know, I mean, after all,
• 48:23
  Speaker 19: the Super Bowl champions crowned the World champions. I was
• 48:27
  Speaker 19: just wondering about that.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that they've made some rule changes, thanks
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: for the call, Armando. They've made some changes to that
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: over the years, I think since the last time the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Cowboys played. Of the rules on you have to give
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: up one of your home games too, and that's always
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: been the case, you give up a home game to
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: go play over there. But you know, they've asked teams
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: to give up games their own home games, so they
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: could go play, and you know, the Cowboys never wanted
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: to do that. And you know, to be honest, a
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: lot of teams don't want to give up their Cowboy
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: game because it's it's going to be their best, you know,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: best game of the season as far as he's selling
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it out. You know, that's I know, Carolina was in
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that situation a couple of times, you know, and even
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: though they know that there'll be a lot of Cowboy
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: fans that buy those tickets. But you know, so some
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: of these teams don't don't want to give up the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Dallas game. That's why. Maybe it's been eleven years now
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: since the Cowboys have played over overseas and went to
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: London of course twenty fourteen against Jacksonville. But you know
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: my thoughts, you know, personally, I mean, yeah, I'm for it,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to I'd like to see it.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised they haven't played in Mexico, you know,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: since since they've been playing a lot of games over there.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: But I think there is an option. I think there.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they've announced the Mexico games. I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: think there is a chance the Cowboys, I guess could
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: play one of the games in London this year the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Jets is is on the schedule. The Jets have one
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: of the games, so uh, you know, and maybe maybe
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: that's that's a situation that would make sense, you know.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I mean that area. The Cowboys are already there once
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: once a season with the Giants, so maybe that that
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: would make sense. Who knows, you know, I'm I'm if
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: they do it, I'm all for it, and I think that,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: you know, there'll be a lot of a lot of
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: good crowds there if the Cowboys wherever they go, if
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: if they go overseas. All right, let's go to Brian
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City.
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, sir.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Brian.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great, man, I'm doing great. Glad to be
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: able to talk to you today.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Sure, what's up? What's on your mind?
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Well, so, a couple of things. So I will make
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: the argument for trading Micah so because nobody else has right.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: So my argument is he is, and I've been saying
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: it for two years, he's too small for the position
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: he's playing. He has never played at that very top
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: level through an entire year. In the years before life asked,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: he always he couldn't get to the quarterback. At the
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: end of the season, he could get pressure, but he
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: couldn't get sacks.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: And then last year, obviously he missed.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Quite a bit of the season. I've been saying it
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: since he came in and they tried to make a
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: defensive end out of him. He's just too small for
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: that position. He's not going to stand the test of time.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: That would be my argument for getting rid of him.
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I understand how hard it is to find a guy
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: who can get you twelve to fourteen sacks consistently every year,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: but when the chips are down, it's not helped us.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: So that's my argument for that. And I would want
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: you know that there was a story out. I don't
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: know who wrote the story, but they said that they
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: entertained the idea for a king's ransom. It would have
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: to be that it have to be two ones and
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: to two, you know, something absolutely insane. But that would
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: be my argument for that. My questions for you this
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: week are I have two questions for you. So, based
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: on the new coaching staff and what I've been reading,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: it sounds to me like they value an offensive linemen,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: they value athleticism more than just grout strength. Based on that,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: could this maybe help Guiden and Steal because those are
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: the that's the kind of guys they are. They're not
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: the they're not maulers, but they're very athletic, and I'm
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: wondering if that might help them.
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: So.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: And then my other question is, I got this is
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: my guest, but I wanted your opinion.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to sign osa of our guys.
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: Who do you think they will?
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: And my hope is that it'll be jaylu I hope
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: that's the guy we get. I'll hang up and listen. Brother.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Good to talk to you, all right, good to talk
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to you too, Brian, thank you for the call. I
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: think Jordan Lewis, you know, there's a reason why he
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: continues to get that one year deal. Maybe it'll be
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: more this year. Maybe someone else you know, will will
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: will pay for him. You know, you got to you
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: gotta remember this. You've got you know some coaches now
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: in the league that are You've got head coach in Washington,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: you got a head coach in in New Orleans now,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you know in Kellen Moore that were a part of
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: these teams, this this group, this unit here from the
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: last to three seasons. So they know these guys and
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: and they know Jordan Lewis, and they know Rico Dabble,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: and they they know Osa and and you know, just
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: like we saw with Washington before. So I think that
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be you know, and you've got Tennessee, You've
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: got a coordinator there, and John Fossil when it comes
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: to special teams players, and he knows the roster there
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: as well. And so my point is is that what
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: was it two three years ago that twenty twenty one
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: team or twenty you know, twenty twenty two. Uh, you've
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: got you know, you you've got all of the coordinators
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: that were there, Kellen Moore and and and obviously John
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Fossil and and Dan Quinn all of them are now
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: with other teams and in positions to to make some decisions.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: So I could see it being tough to resign some
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of these guys.
• 54:19
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I think Jordan Lewis is the is the is the
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: one that would make the most sense. I guess what
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is is that there's been a
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: lot of perception on him that maybe he's too small
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: or to play that position. But he keeps doing it
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: every year. And now there's other guys that know him,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: know what he is in the locker room, that maybe
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: try to sign him as well. All right, let's go
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: to Irwin in Colorado.
• 54:41
  Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, good morning, How are you good?
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: How are you doing good?
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 54:46
  Speaker 13: I just wanted to touch on a couple of things. I
• 54:48
  Speaker 13: called in yesterday and was able to get into talking cowboys.
• 54:53
  Speaker 13: And you know, I got heckled a little bit because
• 54:55
  Speaker 13: I told him I was a storyliner. But it was
• 54:57
  Speaker 13: all in fun. But I had they had been talked about, Uh,
• 55:03
  Speaker 13: Kyle kind of gave me a little harassment, you know,
• 55:06
  Speaker 13: And you know it was it was all funny, you know.
• 55:08
  Speaker 13: I just told him that, you know, I'm regular with
• 55:11
  Speaker 13: you and and stuff. You know, it was it was
• 55:13
  Speaker 13: pretty fun. But anyway, we were talking. They were talking
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: about Michael Parsons and a few other things, and uh,
• 55:22
  Speaker 13: you know, they had mentioned, uh, you know, the possible
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: uh contract extension when that was going to happen, and
• 55:29
  Speaker 13: if they were to do it soon enough that maybe
• 55:31
  Speaker 13: they might be able to do some things in free agency.
• 55:34
  Speaker 13: And then when I spoke with them, I told him,
• 55:37
  Speaker 13: you know, if we've learned anything from Jerry Jones is
• 55:40
  Speaker 13: he likes to delay these contracts. And you know, the
• 55:44
  Speaker 13: history is proven that. And you know, if he or
• 55:48
  Speaker 13: the Cowboys wait till like braining Camp or further to
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: get that contract done, you know we've seen this all before.
• 55:54
  Speaker 13: There's not going to be you know, any time at
• 55:57
  Speaker 13: that point to really go after somebody big time to
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: help him on.
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: The other side.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Well er, I mean, let me just say this though.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think with everything, you have
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: to be fair, you know. I think the Cowboy we
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: just got done talking about how the Cowboys have not
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: had great success with these second contracts. They're paying guys
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: and then the next that they're not performing to the
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: standard of the new contract. And you're saying that, do
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: you think Jerry and Steven and then wait too long? Well,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: why do you think they're waiting long? I mean why
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: why don't I mean, do you think that they are
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: just signing the the you know, signing them to the
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: deal you know that they could have gotten six months ago.
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, like, I don't think that's the case. I
• 56:41
  Speaker 13: just think that when you have a proven player in
• 56:44
  Speaker 13: Micah's caliber, I think they should you know, really do
• 56:48
  Speaker 13: the everything they possibly can to get something done with
• 56:51
  Speaker 13: this guy. I mean, look what they did with CD
• 56:54
  Speaker 13: last year. They waited till the very last moment. They
• 56:57
  Speaker 13: did the same thing with Dak Prescott. I'm just thinking,
• 56:59
  Speaker 13: when you have a player of like Micah's caliber, why wait,
• 57:03
  Speaker 13: so you know late in the problem.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Here's why, Here's I'll just I'll answer that. Here's why
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: that got a sixty million dollar contract. Sixty million it
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: was right before the start of the season. Well, that, yeah,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: he could have signed him. He could have signed him
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: in August at sixty five million, could have signed CD
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: as well. Seed, he could have been there in the
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: entire camp instead of thirty four, it's going to be
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: thirty seven. I mean, they didn't want to do that.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to pay for that, and that's what
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: these agents know. So with my point with Micah, he
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: says he's gonna you know, they're going to get a
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: you know, a good deal and a fair deal and
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: all that. But what's the number at now? You know,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: if you sign him right right now, well, while the
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have a little bit more leverage. So that's that's
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. I don't think the Cowboys are just
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: waiting to get around to it. I think they're trying
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: to get that price down to a more comfortable level.
• 57:57
  Speaker 13: So yeah, I mean, that's that's smartly, that's the way
• 58:01
  Speaker 13: to do it. But the other thing I want to
• 58:03
  Speaker 13: ask you was I pushed back on Isaiah a little
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: bit yesterday because he said, he made a comment about
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: the Cowboys over the last few years have learned from
• 58:12
  Speaker 13: other teams success, and you know, he referenced the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 58:17
  Speaker 13: the forty nine ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and I just
• 58:19
  Speaker 13: kind of pushed back on him. I said, you know,
• 58:21
  Speaker 13: they may have learned, and I'm not really sure they
• 58:24
  Speaker 13: have because they really haven't acted on what they you know,
• 58:27
  Speaker 13: what he was saying that they had learned from what
• 58:29
  Speaker 13: they had how they have been so successful, because you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 13: we just haven't seen that the last what twenty nine
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: years to get to the point where I think he
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: was kind of talking about, you know, getting to the uh,
• 58:41
  Speaker 13: you know, a championship game or the Super Bowl.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and and and what what is your point
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: again on that that that that they from teams.
• 58:52
  Speaker 13: Well, they may have learned, but they certainly haven't acted
• 58:56
  Speaker 13: on it. Yeah, I don't think they, you know, so,
• 58:59
  Speaker 13: I mean anybody can learn something, but are they gonna
• 59:02
  Speaker 13: apply what they've learned? Yeah, I don't really think that
• 59:06
  Speaker 13: they have so ue.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: No I I I hear you. You know, when it comes,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call. When when it comes. And I've
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: said this, I said last week, when when it comes
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: to the Eagles specifically, the Eagles are drafting better right now.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: That that's what it is. They they've drafted better. I
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: know a lot of the talk is is on free agency,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and that's that's true, but they have also done a
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: really really good job uh drafting and and so in
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: all in all ways, I mean, the their their team,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: their their roster is you know, it's not just the
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: the Saquon Barkley edition or a J. Brown. I mean
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh Bond or you know, Zach Bond. I
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: mean the linebacker that they just thought could could be
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: a good middle linebacker, you know. And then they've drafted
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: well with those defensive backs that that that play well.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: So you know, the Cowboys have had some good draft picks,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: you know, late first round we said Tyler Smith and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you know Darn Bland obviously was a great pick. And
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: and all that, but but there hasn't been a ton
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: of those lately. And it's you start looking at the
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. You know, you look at those
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: second rounders, those third rounders, and they've been okay players,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: but they haven't been the difference makers. And and that's
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: that's where I think the Cowboys have definitely taken a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: step by step back. So you know, everybody's going to
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: try to draft, well, I just think the last few
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: years the drafts have have gone off. And when when
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: that is your bread and butter, when that is what
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: you're doing and you're relying on that only then and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: not free agency, then you're gonna be in trouble. I mean,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: there's there's you know, there's no way other way around it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: You know, if your only way to work is your car,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: and your car starting to break down, then you're gonna
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: be in trouble. So that's kind of what what's happening here.

• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: The two lines are filled right now. So let's go
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: to Chris. He's in San Angelo.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 12: Chris, mister Nick didn't finally talk to you?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: Doing real well? I hope you're doing good too, my friends. Sure, Okay, Hey,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: I was going I was gonna ask something about the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 12: OSA thing, but that would just be repetitive, so I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 12: chose a different topic.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Well, would you sign him? I mean, I'll just throw
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: it back to you. Would you sign O?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 12: Twenty? North of twenty is a little rich for me.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Let's just say five one hundred, just simple math?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 12: Okay, well five a maybe not. I mean, like you said,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 12: I don't see any I don't see him becoming Aaron
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 12: Donald anytime soon. But if he can, if he can
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: come in and come in for a cool maybe fifteen,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: then you know, then we'll talk, however realistic that is.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 12: But anyway, where where else.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 8: I was gonna go.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: First of all, I have to say I saw a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 12: series going on that you apparently had a pretty big
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 12: hand in and this one, this part of it was
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 12: involving Dave Campo and uh, now I can't remember the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 12: name of it, but uh, you were definitely involved in it.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 12: And anyway, I just had to share one time back
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 12: in the day, me and a bunch of guys used
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 12: to always head to Saint Edwards for the training camp,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 12: really hot place by the way, and I actually got
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 12: to I was standing at this ramp, probably where I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 12: wasn't supposed to be, and uh, but nobody told me
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 12: to move. I actually saw coach Campo walking down. He
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: was the d C, I think, and he uh, what, no, no, no, no,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 12: this was this was at training camp. Yeah, and uh
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 12: and so I saw him and I said, hey, Coach,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 12: I said, uh, where where do you think this Where
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 12: where's the super Bowl to be? He goes, oh, it's
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: going to be in Arizona and I said, well, we'll
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 12: see you there and then he said, well we're going
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: to give it a try, and he shook my hand.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 12: Ever since then, I've loved Dave Campbo.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to even through all the two
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: thousand and two and two thousand and one seasons and
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: all that. That wasn't his fault.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 12: But it was not his fault. I mean, he got it.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: He got a raw deal, I think. I mean he's
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: a coordinator obviously, so yeah. But anyway, I just wanted
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 12: to share that because I watched that and that was
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: that was good stuff. Where I'm where I'm moving on
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: to now, I'm trying to get a concrete timetable, do
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 12: you know, as far as the timetable for overshown and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: digs next year kind of where that is looking at
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: where that's at. I'm just I've heard different things, so
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 12: I'm just trying to.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Well, well, okay, thanks, thank you for the call, Chris, Hey,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: here's anything else? All right, have a good one. Good
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: talking to you. As always. The thing about why you're
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: hearing different things is because different people have different injuries.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody has the same injury. Not one player has the same. Well,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: this is exactly like what this guy had. Now the
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: trainers will tell you, yeah, I mean the they go
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: off of the you know, history, and they can say,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: all right, with with this player, we had this, and
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: I think with overshown. Uh, I'm trying to I'm getting
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: my my players mixed up. I know Connor Williams. I
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: think Connor Williams actually had the same injury as Trayvon
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Diggs and you know, and it was able to come
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: back and and relatively early. Now I don't know if
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: if Digs will be in the same level there. You know,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: over shown that that's one that it's hard to say.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: It's hard to bet against him. You know, he's he's
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: he thinks he'll be back to start training camp. I
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: would think PUP makes sense for both of them. And
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: what that means is they will be they will be
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: put on that list that the first day of training camp,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: and that that allows them to go at least four
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: weeks into the season on PUP and and they don't
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: have to make a decision to bring them off the roster.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: They won't count on the fifty three. But you have
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: to do that the first day of training camp. Now,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: you do that the first day of training camp, and
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: after the first week they're ready to go. Then then
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: then they come off of it. They have to be
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: put on the ninety man roster, which is fine. You
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: have ninety guys. You can make a spot for him
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and no problem at all, But you have to make
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: that decision. But at the start of camp, and I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: would be surprised, I'd be shocked if Digs and over
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Overshown are not on that list. We'll see how far
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: that goes, you know, into the season, if they if
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: they're able to come back before that. A lot of
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: that's going to depend on them. And I think with
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: with Diggs and with Overshown, I would love for them
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: to work out together because I think I think with Overshown,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: I think he'll he'll help anybody got, you know, get
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: get to where they want to go quicker, because that's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: just how he's driven for sure. All right, let's go
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: to Chuck D's in Bridge City, Texas.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 12: Nick, what's up, man?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: I'm good?
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: All right, what's up?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 20: Took me a little bit to get on with you.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: It's been a while.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 20: It's just, uh, you know how it goes this time
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 20: of year.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, this once a week stuff. It's hard.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: It's hard. Everybody's trying to get in here. All right.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what you got, Chuck, Here's what I got.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 20: In light of seeing like Kellen Moore Quinn be scooped up.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 20: Who in the past have you seen and you're like,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 20: you know, once he got his job, You're like, wow,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 20: we really had him and he slipped away. Of course
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 20: it would probably be Tom Peyton, but I was gonna
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 20: say somebody like seeing Scott Lenahan when he left that hurt,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 20: because man, he sure did help that offensive line.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't remember where Scott Lenahan went. Are you
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: talking about Bill Callahan?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 20: I'm sorry, Bill, Yeah, I don't.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I remember Lenahan doing a lot where you're like, what, no, Callahan? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: running game Moses has brought us and I used to
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: call him because he could. I mean they wherever he
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: went and they ran the ball. But yeah, yeah, I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: mean it happened Sean and even Sean Payton, Like you
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: had Bill Parcells. I mean, you're you're not gonna I mean,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: it was time for him to get a head coaching up,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna. You're not gonna like let Parcels go,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's just kind of that's part
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: of it. I mean on that staff that two thousand five, uh,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: a staff that Parcels had. I think he had seven
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: coaches that became a head coach at some point, you know,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: from from Tony's Perano to Todd Hayley to Anthony Lynn.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm just saying Sean Payton was was on there.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Uh And there's others too, I can't remember all of them,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: but but I mean my point is that he had
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: a really good staff and so that and and this
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: you can make the same case with with Quinn. I mean,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: you know, yes, that they could have let McCarthy go
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: after three straight twelve and five seasons and keep Quinn.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: That would have been that would have been interesting. But
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: you know, look at it now, you're like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: that's probably what they should have done. But in hindsight,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if if that's if that's good business,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and I know circumstances didn't work out. But just
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 20: as a fan, you're like, dang, we had that guy
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 20: in the building and now look at him.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah and.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 20: Campbell right, Uh, Campbell coach here at some point.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: In the coach with the Cowboys. He didn't coach with
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: the cow He's he could have. But yeah, but you know,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: you can make that case. And we'll see with Kellen
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: if the Saints turn it around. You know, Sean Payton
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: style like like Sean Payton, and you're gonna look back
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: and go yeah, you know, especially because he was interviewed
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: the same as Schottenheimmer. But this is the route the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: cowboys have gone, and we'll see, we'll see what happens. Okay, Nick,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: all right, Chuck, good stuff. All right, let's keep it
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: going here and staying in Texas for a third traet call.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: We got rock Wall Texas Michael's and Rockwall Michael.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how are you doing this morning?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Man? How are you good? Good?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 10: I just wanted to call and just a couple of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 10: quick points because I think the big talking heads on
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 10: the big networks and have gotten to some of our fans,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 10: and they just don't seem to remember that there was
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 10: conversations about signing Dak early, and Dak's a changed and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 10: they didn't want to do a deal right away, and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 10: there was a want to wait on their side, on
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 10: the first contract side of thing, and on the second side,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: you know, to your point, Dak was trying to reset
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: the market, not by a million or two, but he
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 10: ended up signing a contract for five million dollars more
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 10: than the next average salary per year of the next
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 10: closest quarterback. And he didn't want to give them the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 10: extra year to play with a fifth year, even though
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 10: they were giving him an extra five million a year.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: So in hindsight, with what happened last year, you could
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 10: make the argument that Jerry didn't wait long enough and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 10: he should have let this play out into free agency,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: because I'm not sure anyone else would have paid that
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: sixty million, especially if he had gotten hurt last year
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 10: and came off the injury. CD same thing. CD wanted
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: to wait until after this wide receiver market got set
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 10: and the big dog got paid in Minnesota and he
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: was so he could set his own mind. He wasn't
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: going to sign any earlier than that, So I just
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 10: wanted people to remember that part. And then finally, for Micah,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 10: I'm with a caller that talked earlier today. I love
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 10: Michael Parsons. I think he does a great, great job
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 10: at his size two hundred and thirty five two hundred
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: and thirty eight pounds rushing mostly using speed and quickness
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: to get around these guys at weigh one hundred pounds
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: more than him in most cases, but it does wear
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 10: on you throughout the year. He's a liability in the
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 10: run game. He cannot. If you run right at him,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 10: you just buldoze him out of the way. He cannot.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 10: He's not effective in the run, he's undersized for the position.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure paying somebody that's a linebacker playing out
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 10: of position thirty five plus million dollars a year is
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 10: the right investment for a team that's already paying what
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: they're paying so and the reason why is no team
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 10: in NFL history has ever had three players over thirty
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 10: million on their roster. I just thinking, right to find
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 10: the way to have depth.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, I don't I don't love I don't love
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: that stat. I think I think a percentage of the
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: cap and you stay and you might be right there,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: a percentage of the cap that should be a better
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: stat that they've never had three players over thirty Well,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: of course not. I mean you know what I mean.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Deon Sanders set the market at five million
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: a year at corner back in ninety five. But percentage
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: of the cap, I'd like to see that stat and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: you're and and then then that probably still makes makes
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: perfect sense. Twenty five percent of the cap, then you know,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: three guys or whatever it would be. But what is
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: the cap right now. I don't even remember the number.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 10: I think it's going to be seventy five I think
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 10: is the projection for this year.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: I was thinking it's to eighty, so yeah, something like that.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: So two seventy five, so you know that would be
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: let's say it's two seventy ninety million, ninety million, that's
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you've got, shoot, that's what one
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty million when you got sixty for for DAK
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: and then a couple of thirties, thirty five is really
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: more like seventies. So one hundred and sixty million out
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: of two seventy that's that's all I mean. And I
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: know the structure is different, but at some point you
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: got to pay the piper. And and that's and that's
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: so I hear what you're saying. You make great points.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you make absolutely great points on that of
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: why they wouldn't I just I just look at it
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: like I got a great player, I gotta figure it out.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: You have to build around your build around your your
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: your top players, and they have to figure out how
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: to play them the right way. We got to get
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: moving though, Michael, thank you for the call. Good points,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: good stuff, there. Let's go to Carolina. He's on the move.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: He's in Dallas, Carolina. What's up?
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 8: What's going on?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: There? We go there? I might have heard that. I
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: might've heard that right here. You're in Dallas. What's up?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Be careful on those roads?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 21: Yeah, man, this super super crol. This a little icy,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 21: so yeah, taking it easy?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: All right? Man? What you got We're kind of up
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: against it. Here is last call? Or what do you got?
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 21: I just wanted to say, Man, I'm excited about the
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 21: new running back coach. Yeah, and even talking about you know,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 21: he's being an actual running back. So I'm just fingers
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 21: crossed man that we can get somebody to do this.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 21: But I know everybody's like always need a new running back. Well,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 21: of course we do need another running back because we
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 21: don't really have nobody proving. I'm just hoping that you know,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 21: something good comes out of this because we're talking about people,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 21: you know, being a waste of contract. I mean, he's
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 21: only got what a year or two left and we
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 21: ain't seen nothing out of so I'm just you know,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 21: got my fingers crossed the good love for him and
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 21: last thing, can we can we talk about people who've
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 21: already been announce for a possible trade, like who a guy,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 21: uh that plays with the boombox boys?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: Oh demo is that?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 21: Already talking about Wow, he's already been shout out that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 21: he can possibly trade to anybody just.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: Because he's asked for a trade. I've seen that they have. Okay, Yeah,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I mean sure, I mean at that that that happens, Yeah,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: I think you could you could talk about it. I mean,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: is that a type of player you think would would
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: help this team?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 21: And that's what I was going to ask you because
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 21: I've had I've had a few people say, hey, may
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 21: I would be great, and I've seen, you know, a
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 21: couple of you know, other shows.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 21: Sure, I'm just up in the air with it because
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 21: I'm like, you know, he's getting kind of old. But
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 21: I don't know, I don't know if that's something that
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 21: we I mean, he's a number two. If we can
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 21: hear him at a good price, do you think he
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 21: would be worth it?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: What I like about his game and the way in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: the way San Francisco used him with McCaffrey is I
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: thought the versatility that that here's a wide receiver that
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: can play running back and you have McCaffrey, every running
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: back who can play receiver. You can mix and match
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that what they're doing, and that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: kind of versatility I think, if used the right way,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: can be really really beneficial to your team when you
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: can have guys and line them up in different spots.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: They do that with CD. Yeah, so, and they do
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: it with CD. I don't I don't love the fact
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: that CD runs the ball as much as he does. Yeah.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: But again, it's it's tough because you know, you know,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are are probably going to say,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: all right, we've we've used them to what to what
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: we've used them at and and we feel like he's
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: probably not going to be at that level anymore. And
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna take the take the bait, you know,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: the last time the forty nine ers traded a player
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys and then work out so well. So uh,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's intriguing, but it also
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: makes me think he's probably on, you know, on on
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: the downward slope of his career and and you know,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: depending on what you could get for him if you
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: want to go that route.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 21: See, my thing is he didn't get a lot of
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 21: He didn't get a lot of touches last year, So
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 21: it's like it is it because they didn't utilize him,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 21: or is he actually going down? You know what I'm saying.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: That's that's that's.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 21: Where I'm in my mind.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: I'm like, well, maybe I.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: Played fantasy football and he was on my team and
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: he was on my bench a lot of times because
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: he's he was either hurt or just inconsistent, And you know, that's.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 21: Another thing to worry about.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, is help.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 21: That's definitely a key factor for sure.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see what happens with that. All right, Carolina,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: we got to get rolling. Thanks, thank you for the call,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: all you guys, outstanding work. Fifteen calls. Again. I wish
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: we did it more than once a week, but this
• 1:19:42

• 1:19:44
