• 0:50
  Speaker 1: agency coming up here next week. What are the Cowboys
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: going to do? If anything? What does all in look like?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it's a it's gonna
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: sound and I think it's gonna be exactly what people
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: think or what people are hoping. But we'll see. We'll
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: see how aggressive or or not the Cowboys are when
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: free agency starts here. It's a it's a big it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a big it'll be a big picture approach, I think
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to this team. So in their stance with free agency.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But I want to hear from you guys and see
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: what you guys think, what's on your mind, and let's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: let's get it going. Let's just start it off. We
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: got Anthony. He's in Miami. Anthony, what's up? Your first up?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up?
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Make the quick?
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I told her Man Beemon would laughing Man me, me
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: and my girl got a new spot and I got
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: two spots that I got.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Service Bro.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on in this place, so
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to hopefully I won't face like that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: But my thing is, well, I'm bringing Oh we all
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: know and have heard all the sports shows and even
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: cowboys stuff on what we kind of.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Need, what we we need to, we need to hit.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I came up with what I woulded cowboys to do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: A we all know, so let me even bring home.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: All right, I think we're gonna we're gonna have to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: end it. Sorry about that, Anthony, I think that's what
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: he was talking about. I think it was it was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: referring to the fact that he couldn't he couldn't hear,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: or he couldn't didn't have good service.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he doesn't have servis in his house, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I told him, Sorry, Anthony's business, I gotta hang up
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: on your buddy.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't. It sounds Chris. It sounds weird to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: me right now anyways, So I don't know if it's just,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but that would definitely it was hard to hear. All right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I think they got good service in Stanford, Texas. Joe
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in Stanford is next, Mack, how are you, sir?
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Oh good? Sorry about Anthony there, Maybe he can get
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: back in. So a couple things first, Jerry is starting
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: to remind me more and more of another octogenarian politician
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: that we have been discussing here lately. Pretty disappointed in him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: And then the Hawn but I guess I just can't
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: be surprised. So I get really tired of all the semantics.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't see, I don't understand and get
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: why it has to be that way, but that is
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: what it is. I wanted to talk about Tyron Smith.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: A lot of people have been upset about the fact
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: that we are not going to meet his salary demands,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: thus sort of putting him out on the market, which
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I'm questioning whether or not that's actually going to happen
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: or not. We'll just have to see. But I wanted
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: to point out a few things to a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: these guys. So Tyron, starting twenty sixteen through twenty twenty three,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: he had one hundred and thirty one total games available
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: that he could have played. Of those games, forty nine
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: of them he missed. That's almost forty percent of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: games he could have played in the last eight seas,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: and he's not completed a season, and of his thirteen
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: total seasons, he's only played four total seasons. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I love the guy. He's amazing, one of the best
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: we've ever had, but he just leaves, in my opinion,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: he leaves us in the lurch too often to invest
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: any sort of cap space any So, I think it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: the right way the Cowboys are handling.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It, and I can't criticize him for it, all right,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate that, appreciates call as always Joe.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's good. It's one stance on Tyron. You know, I'm
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be disappointed to see him play for another team.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I think most people would probably
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: say that is just the right move. Is this the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: smart move?
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about getting into the last
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: six seven years, because usually that's what a trend is.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But what about last year? And the reason why I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: say last year and why it's different is that they
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: did things differently with him last year. They did differently.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They did some things in his practice schedule, they did
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: some things different with their pay and with the way
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they paid him, you know, and and and incentivized it
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with basically a million of game so you know, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and he played fourteen games. And he's really good. That's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the thing that's what's tricky about. He's really good. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this might be a situation that's out of the Cowboys control.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: They're not going to break the bank again on him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: They'll pay him fairly and well, but you know, there
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is that there is issue that you're dealing with with
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: him because of the injury history, even though last year
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was pretty good. But you know, I think it's a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: situation of they'll see what's out there and if there's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a chance, if there's a chance to resign them, there's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: my voice. If there's a chance to resign them, then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they'll do it. But he'll probably get a deal better
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: than what the Cowboys are willing to do. In my opinion,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: here we're switching out headphones here Nascar? All right, here,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Chris Beames, It's like nice, all right, all right, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: don't know, I think that sounded that sounds a lot better. Actually,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, Chris, he could be in a NASCAR
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: pit crew. He could look at him moving quickly and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. That was all the difference right there.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: All right. I hope that answered the question though. I mean,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's not really a question. It's just it's just like
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: your opinion, everyone's opinion on tiring. I'd like to see
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: him come back, but I think that he feels like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he's sort of taken less money over the years. You know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he signed a long term deal. Was it like ten
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: year deal way back? And so, uh, you know, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: think it's a situation where probably probably makes sense to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: move on. I think it's just gonna be sad day
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when it does happen. All right, let's go. We have
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a text question here, Coach Morgan from Germantown, Tennessee. Could
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Mike could be moved to Mike linebacker? I don't. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't. I mean he could, I mean,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: could he be moved? Yes? Could he play it? Sure,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you know he'd be big enough for it, But I don't.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. I think they see the value.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's just too much value for him rushing,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: rushing the passer. I mean, that's just he's just too
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: good at it. I think he's better at that than
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he is playing, reading, reacting, all that kind of stuff. Unless,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: unless they would figure out a way to blitz him
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a lot, which is sort of what he did at
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Penn State, he could do anything. He could play safety
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: if he really asked him to. I think I think
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he's that good. I think there's just a premium on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: guys that rush the passer, and I think that that's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: where they got to figure out how to do how
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: how to move him there. I don't. I don't think
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you'd be moving your middle linebacker around to rush the passer, uh,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what he needs to be doing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So it's not a bad question. Some people might have
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a different approach to that. I I just think personally,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see him rush the passer at times
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and then play linebacker, you know, the other outside spots
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in other ways in different schemes, you know, I mean
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, I see some packages where
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he could he could play that, but I think for
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the most part, I think he needs to be going
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: after the quarterback solf. All right, let's get to Jeff
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and North Carolinas, our next caller.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: What's up, man? How are you?
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: I'm doing pretty good.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Hope you are, man, I'm good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: Looks like you got your new banner behind you there,
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: don't you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I thought it is.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they did that a couple of weeks ago.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And I see, I guess y'all can kind of see
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this here a little bit. Uh see some red is
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that new Chris red red lights?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I haven't switched it from the last show, so give
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: me a break.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I like you. Yeah, Patriots a little color there? Yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the draft show has a little red and color. Honestly,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: what color is it? Normally blue?
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We got plenty of blue. This is good, I think.
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: I always thought you're your other banner you had. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: always I never mentioned it, but I always I thought, well,
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: maybe it's way the light was hit. But I always
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: thought when you had to picture of the helmet, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: helmet looked blue and uh and uh. But but it
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: looked good, and I like this too.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So this is good.
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: I just got a question for you. You know, I
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: know they're still talking a lot about Tyrant's contract or
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: you know he might be and then I know you
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: don't address that some but I was told them about
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: Dak's contract, Tuck. My question is if they've done an
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: extension with Dak, because I know right now his cap
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: hits fifty nine million dollars with his salary and his
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: roster bonus and then his pro ration the sign bones.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: So if they've done extension, the all all the the
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: remaining proration, would it be like a new contract and
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: all that goes away or or is it just added
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: into a to a new deal. And I'm just trying
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: to figure out how, you know, how they're going to
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: house how I know they can lower his cap heads
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: this year, but is it all even if they do
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: an extension, is it just pushing all that down?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the next two.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Or three years, right, that's yes, that's exactly what the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: extension does. The proations don't go away even when you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: even when you cut them, you know, they don't go away.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: That's what you're with Denver, you know, with Russell, Will
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Wilson and all that. Right, well, the mess that is,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: but but but no, I mean it's just it's a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: way to lower the charge. You keep extending it and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you keep pushing the money that way, and I think
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what they feel like is the best
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: option to do to just even be competitive this year
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is to probably do something like that. So as Dak
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, he was at at an event with Troy Aitman,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, he said, it's going to happen. I mean,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it's going to happen, and it probably will happen here
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: pretty soon before free agency starts.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: So uh.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you do anything and be somewhat competitive and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and able to just even keep
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: some of your own guys that they're trying to keep.
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: So yes, well, you know, if they don't do anything,
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: I know, Jerry said, you know that they don't have to.
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: I heard that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: I don't know if I believe that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: But but if.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: They don't do anything, me it's basically putting everybody on
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: a one year deal, and this would make it or
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: break it. And if we don't do no better than they,
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: maybe they just blowed the whole thing up. Next year,
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: but I don't really foresee that. But but you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: because I didn't know till I heard last week that
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: Zimmer was only on a one year deal too. So yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: and so that's that was interesting there. So but anyway,
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: I'm just trying to figure that out and I figured
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: you might get to understand that. But I appreciate it, man,
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: And uh, I hope you have a good day and
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: I'll talk to you later.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: On all right, Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, I I think
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that you're It's it's always hard to kind of figure
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: out the cap and what every move is and and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you know, those guys are paid to be very creative
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: over there to try to figure out how to how
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to make it work and so, uh, you know, no
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: contract is the same and that so you're kind of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: dealing with that a little bit. But I think you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: got a pretty good handle on it. And uh, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that's kind of that's kind of where they stand. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you're right, It's just this is a lot of make
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: or break at years for a lot of people. Coaches,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: players have a feeling next year is going to look
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a lot different for this team, you know, and either
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: regardless of what of what kind of success or lack
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: of success this team has. I just think that it's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just the way it's kind of shaping up. That next
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: year is going to be different in a lot of ways.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But that still doesn't mean, you know, you can't go
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: out and and and and you know, make it happen.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: This year, they still got a lot of great players,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, I think, I think that they can
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: be competitive. But what happens here in these next oh
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I would say, you know, two months really, you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: March and April, and what happens here in the next
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: two months is really going to dictate a lot here.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, because yeah, they have some pieces in place,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: but it still need to be fixed in a lot
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of areas, and that these two months is when that's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. All Right, we got some text questions here,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: We've got some beefy ones here that I'm gonna have
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to read through. What this one not so bad? Dan
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and Philly says. If Tyron leaves in free agency, do
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you think the best option is to move Tyler Smith
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to tackle, move TJ Bass to play guard. I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that will I think that will be what they do,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: especially if they're looking at center with the first pick
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the draft. Past cowboy Everson Walls. He is a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: past cowboy, but he's also here a lot. He does
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: shows on mixed shots. He's here in the building a lot.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Great player, great player. He'd be in my top five
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of guys that I think if I get, if I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: got five picks to go into the Ring of Honor,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he'd definitely be one of them. As well. Underrated player,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. I don't think they're gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: draft the center in the first round. I think there's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: one guy that would be worthy of that, and he'll
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: probably gonna go early. But I think, you know that's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Johnson Powers, Johnson, Jackson Smith, whatever his name is, uh
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: from Oregon. But I think that they could draft a tackle.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And so if you draft a tackle, then Tyler Smith
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: probably plays. You know, he stays at left guard. So
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of having a versatile player like him,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like Tyler Smith, because you can kind of mix it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: up and see what you have and what you need.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I think the focus is going to keep him at guard,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: though I really believe that's what they're gonna try to do,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you know. And TJ. Bass, he could be working some
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: at Center. This off he's and that's what I'd like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to see him do is do a lot of Center
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: stuff body type. How smart he is. I think Center
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: actually makes a lot of sense. If he can do it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you got to be able to do it. He is
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: something you've got to be trying a lot, and he's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: done some. But I mean if he's working on that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the shotgun stamps and understanding the defenses and stuff like that,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I think he could actually be a really good Center.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: That's what I kind of would like to see. All right,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: let's go to Dylan. He's in Northport, Florida. Dylan, what's up?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I'm good? Are you good?
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: I had a question for you for those that's lucky
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: storyline and what's the process to you guys like to
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: our houses and like you flying from the dalla.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Uh. Let's try again, Dylan, Let's try again. I didn't
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: hear anything he said.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: Oh no, it's my phone messed up. Must be something
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: happening in Florida, man.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I think nah, I think we got issues on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: line here today. For for the with the line the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: actual line of the call of calling in Okay, they
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: all kind of sound somewhat the same, but try it again,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: deal and try it again?
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: Okay, all right, all right, I'll try it again. So
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: those of us lucky enough to make the all storyline team, yep,
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: you and Chris, you're fly into our houses to present
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: the awards or flying us into me Jerry, or what's
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: the deal?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're really diminishing the storyline now, because like it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: was going to just be cool. I was gonna be
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: able to announce it. But now that you're want to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: throw that out there, it's not gonna it's not gonna
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: be fun anymore because you know, because now you're like, no,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that that's not gonna be the case. And why do
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you do you think you're going to be on it?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: How do you add?
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: I said, it's lucky enough, man, I'm hoping. But for
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: those of us lucky enough, you know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: No, no, I know. So it's funny you say that. Yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you have another question. I'm going to talk about that here.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to find a good time. This is a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: good time because you brought it up. Do you have
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: any other questions?
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: Well, I had a bit to going with Dak in
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: the contract. I'll keep it real short though, so you
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: can jump into the really cool stuff there. But basically,
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: at this distant contract digging in the last like ten
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: years on cat fits, right, I just want to see
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: what like the average cap that was for Super Bowl
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: attending quarterbacks, and basically it's almost all anybody who's not
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: named Mahomes and Brady and even some of these Armahomes too.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: It's basically a bunch of guys on rookie deals accounting
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: for like four percent of the cap, and a couple
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: of vets like Matt Stafford, but his hit that year
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: was only thirteen million, and it was a very low
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: percentage of the cap. So we look at twenty twenty four,
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: DAK right now accounts for like almost a quarter of
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: the available cap space. So if they want to compete
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: at all whatsoever in the coming weeks here and agency,
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: they have to expend DAK. Otherwise all in is basically
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: all gone. So that's all I wanted to say, Man,
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: get your thoughts all right.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right about that, you know, And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you could say of except
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for Brady and Mahomes, you know, because they're just so exceptionals.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're exceptions to the to almost every rule,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and you know, they're they're worth every every penny that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they you know that they've received. But yeah, I mean,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: if they're going to be competitive, like you said, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: when I've said it a little bit earlier, it's got
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that's it's got to be done. And they know what.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Dak knows it. And I mean Dak wants the team
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to be competitive. He understands that with every play, every pass,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: every interception, every look on the sideline, every time his
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: eyes go up like big, you know, it's like, oh,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: there's there's things being determined about him. He understands that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he's got to be successful and and he wants that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: more than anything. But he's also got to be fair.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be fair. I mean, he's he's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: earned this. He's earned the money that he's that he's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: going to get. He's had a really really good season.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And if you want to argue about what he's earned,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: go ahead. You know, I mean about he hasn't won
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: this or this and that. But you know there's a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that that are it's his turn. It's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: just I'm sorry, it's just his turn. It was his turn.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: What three years ago and now it's his turn again.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And he picked a good year. I thought to to,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know, lead the league in touchdowns and have kind
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of a bounce back season. Yeah, they did not win
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Nobody played well, so he's getting criticized
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: for that. But I still think of the body of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: work what he did last season, it warrants, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the contract that he's probably going to get now. Dylan
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: also talked about, and we've mentioned it, the all Storyline Team,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: which will be revealed Friday. We are changing the schedule
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit. There will not be a show Thursday,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: no show Thursday at one. The show will be Friday
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: at ten, back to the ten o'clock time slot. Chris
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is so generous to come in and do that show
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: on Friday. Well, it'll still be a show. We'll talk
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: about free agency, we'll have callers and stuff like that.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: But there will be a point when I will reveal
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the all storyline team because really that this this will
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: be the last show of what we call our fiscal year. Really,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I mean with the new league year, this is kind
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of when we turn it over as well. So this
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: will be the last show of the twenty three to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: twenty four season. I mean, I'm sorry Friday Show will
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: be so it'll be a fitting time. Once we get
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: into free agency, we're gonna we don't want to waste
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: any time on anything other than talking about that. Who knows,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: we may have a lot of time on our hands,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but still, let's just let's be hopeful this some stuff
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: will happen. But the All Storyline team, you know, it's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it's not comparing myself to John Madden. Okay ever, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like like All Madden team, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like he got to just pick do whatever he wants.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what we're doing. So I think I've
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: got it picked down. I think there's going to be
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: twenty two spots. There'll be a second team and a
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: first team, and then there are some honorary members, maybe
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: some honorable mentions. You know, there'll be some support staff
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that always get on there. So now there won't be
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: any Jerry come into your House type thing or any
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kind of plaque. Who knows, maybe we get some T shirts.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I'd be able to do that. That might may not
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: be too bad. That would be kind of cool. We
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: can figure that out. But anyways, I'll announce that Friday,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Friday at ten, the whole show will kind of be
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: dedicated to that. Hopefully the callers that call in, hopefully
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: most of them will be on the team, even though
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: we will will take first time callers for sure, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from from the ones that made it,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: make the team, and you guys know who who some
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of them are. But still though, I mean, we had
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of people called in head, like three hundred
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and fifty people call in, so and it's not just
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: going to be who called the most and the end
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that'll be some of it, but's also the the substance too.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You know, how memorable were you? How much? What did
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you provide to the to the argument, to the you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to the conversation. All right, let's go with I have
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a text question here from Mike. He's in Boston. He
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: called last week, uh more of a Texter, which is fine. Uh,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: he says, pardon me. Is worried about the uncertainty going
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: into this year. Pretty much the whole coach of staff
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is on a one year deal, no security for their families.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Does that worry you or do you think it motivates
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the coaches to work? Even harder. I think coaches coach.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they do what they do. That's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: that I don't first year, I mean, I don't. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: don't think they're motivated by that. I think that that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the good ones are the ones that that that put
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in the work, put in the hours, and now you know,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't be here if it didn't you know, if
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this wasn't the best move that they had for their
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: for their family. So I don't really worry about that.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: But that's basically his question. I just I don't think now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think it does maybe a little bit more for players,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But I think when you get you know, when you
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: get to the coaching level, you know that's this is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: kind of what they what they do, they put in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the work, and then you know what the head coach does,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: what the coordinators do kind of it rolls down from
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: them and you know, you get you you get called out.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure if you're not, if you're not busted your
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ass and doing what you need to be doing, you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: know as as a coach, because the players see it
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and your peers see it. So you don't hear a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: lot of stories about that where the coaches are kind
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of slacking off. There's one or two that I can
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: remember over the years, but for the most part, those
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: guys put in healthy hours for sure. All right, Rob
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, what's up? I think you can be on
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the all storyline team.
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: I hope. So that'd be pretty cool. My wife would
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: get a kick out.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to reveal any parts of the team,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna be on it. Okay, I'm just gonna
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: say that. Okay, you're gonna be on it. Yeah, No,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's that's cool. I say it all the time.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I think what you've done, I'll talk more about it Friday.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But but I mean, we certainly all appreciate all the callers.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: But I think I think, I think the fans, I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: think the other callers kind of they refer to you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: more than any other caller. You know about Rob from
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Vegas said it too, you know, must be a legit complaint,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you know complaint.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: I think Chris is uh Is, Mike McCarthy, and I
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: definitely think you're a quarterback. I mean, Mike puts the
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: plays in, you know, puts the callers in. You, You
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: set the you set the tone of what we're kind
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: of going to talk about and and then the players,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: you know, with your fans, we take it from them.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: I enjoy I enjoyed listening to terbody. And like I said,
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: sometimes they sit in my office and I say, I
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: agree with that guy, and I'll say, no, I don't
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: know what that guy's talking about. But I think it's great.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: I think it's the best show on the on the
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: on the on the internet because of that, of the interaction.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I think that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I and I'm just so glad your father
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: made you do it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well he suggests a few things. He'll call and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: suggest some things that I don't really love that I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: don't bring to the air, you know, but that's okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But this one, yeah, yeah, this was It took a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: little bit. No, it's great, Rob, What do you got.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Listen. I think for the first time in a long time,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: the fans are turning on Jerry's you know, Jerry listen.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Jerry's great, probably one of the greatest owners in the
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: history of sports. And Jerry, you know, he could spin
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: just about everything. But I think this is the first
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: time I'm hearing fans going, oh, come on.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: Blah blah blah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: You know, And now Jerry's backtracking kind of. You know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: let's face it, I said this weeks ago. He's going
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: to spin this that, and he's rightfully true. Giggs is
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: coming back over shown is coming back. That helps. He's
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: going to spin it where these guys are all on
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: one deal. It's going to put pressure on And I
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: don't know if that, Like you said, I don't know
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: if that puts pressure on these These guys are multi
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: multi millionaires already. I don't know how much pressure is
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: really on them. Dak Okay, I don't think they're going
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: to do anything with Dak. I think they're going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: save twenty million dollars by doing nothing this year because
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: I I just think if Dak, unless Dak has a
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: five in front of the number, like a fifty five,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: but if he's if it has a six, I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Jerry's going to say no. So they can save twenty
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: million and do a little bit and then see what
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: happens next year. And I'm okay with that. Free agency wise, yeah,
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: I think this is the year you'll probably get Bobby Wagner.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: I think this is a There are a lot of
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: defensive tackles out there, good ones that he can go
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: get I'm not talking.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: To Chris Jones.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: I think we agree he ain't spending thirty million, but
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: Leonard Williams and the guy from Miami wike it. There's
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: a lot, so I think he'll do that. But if
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: anybody thinks he's going to go crazy, no, that's Jerry.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: And unfortunately, I just think it's because the Jones family's comfortable,
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: you know, and being comfortable it's a great thing for them,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: but it doesn't push you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: When you were a young guy coming up in your job,
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: you're a little more hungry, and when your team has
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: worth ten billion, you're not as hungry. And I know
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: we talked about this. Jerry, I think would be willing
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: to maybe make some crazy moves and not crazy, but
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: go for it more. But I don't think Steven it is,
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: and I think Stephen kind of runs the show a
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: little more.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: So.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: I just think that, you know, being twelve and five
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: three years in a row is pretty damn good. And Jerry,
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: you know, he's right, we're close. We're closer than we're
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: not close, and he is right with that. And we've
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: seen the only time this team really gets anything is
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: when they're bad. Look how That's how I got back,
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: and that's how I got Zeke, and that's how they
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: built this team up. They were bad, so they got
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: the draft high. Now they're drafting low. So I think
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: he's just gonna kind of ride it out. And I don't,
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: you know, Jerry's what eighty years old or whatever he is.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: I don't think he's gonna change. I mean, I don't
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: think he's going to go for it totally totally, because
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: I just think he's comfortable. And unfortunately the fans, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: this is what we're gonna be stuck with. But let's
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: be honest, we're in the same boat as everybody else
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: except the Chiefs, where the forty nine ers haven't done
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: anything longer than us yet. I got to the Championship game.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: They got to the super Bowl, but they lost. So
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: at the end of the day, we're roll in the
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: same boat.
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: And so.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: I get mad, you know what I call we is,
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: But then when I sit back and I said, well,
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: you know, I'd rather be twelve or five and five
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: or twelve, So you know, we're not in bad shape.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: We need to tweak some things, and that's what I
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: hope they do. Gak is the biggest one. Why do
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: you do with him and Michael? If you have to
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: decide what you're gonna do with Michael before the draft
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: if Mike is playing linebacker, which I agree with you,
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: I don't do I put them full time getting twenty pounds,
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: stop being bouncing them back and forth. Don't get the
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: pass so put a little weight on. Then you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: we go get a Bobby Wager, we go get somebody else.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: You need to know that right now.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, all right, Rob, appreciate that, appreciate the call.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of questions. They are just kind of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: some some some thoughts, which is fine, you know. I
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: One thing that I that I will also also say
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: is that you know, the the one press conference that
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I think is the biggest waste of time every year,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: happens every year. It's that week before the draft. I
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: think the NFL makes you do it, the pre draft
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: press conference. It's it's pointless, it really is. I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: nothing comes out of that. They're basically lying they have to.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget twenty sixteen with it was Jerry or
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Steven or both said, you know, just running back value
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: is just not what it used to be you just
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: can't get a top player at the top of the draft,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and then they picked Zeke like four days later, Like
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it's just and so I kind of wonder if some
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of that is going on here, you know, kind of
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: said this all in now he's kind of backtracking. We
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: don't have any money. You talk to people around here,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody has any money here. Cowboys don't have anything.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: It's like the pockets are just empty. There's a couple
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: of pennies in there. I don't believe all of that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will do a little something. I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: really do. I think they they've I think they they've
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: got creative people. They could make something happen over there.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So I think they'll they'll they'll do a few things.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Probably not right away though, you know that's never been
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: their thing, is to come right into free agency and
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: do something. But I will be really shocked if they
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: don't do a couple of things that are that are well,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it could help this team immediately because they
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have to. I mean, you have to go do You
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: can't just go into the draft and go, well, we
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: don't have a running back, we don't have a center,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: we don't have a linebacker, we don't have a left tackle.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: We got you know, you can't do that. So they'll they'll,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. I just don't. I'm just telling
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you right now, I wouldn't be getting my hopes up
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: on all these splash moves because I don't think that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen. All right, let's go Anthony in
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: New Jersey.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: How are you doing good?
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: Good? Just a quick story about how long I've been
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: listening to you. I'm in my thirties now. When I
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: was a kid, my dad used to print your articles
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: out of work and bring them home to me so
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: I could read them in bed at night. So to
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: this day, when we're on the phone talking cowboys, he'll
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: still say, Hey, you see Eatman wrote this or said this,
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: So you've been a part of our cowboys talk for
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: a long time.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: I figured that was an off season story, not a
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: regular seating story, but anyway, cool.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, we love your work. And quickly the
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: reason I called was Tyron Smith And yeah, I've been
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: listening to you and the other shows, and I'm so
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: disappointed by and I understand, you know, what you were
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: saying with the you know, the salary cap concerns and
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: the injury stuff, and the consensus seems to be a
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: lot of people on listening to is they want to
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: move you know, Tyler Smith to tackle, which I can appreciate,
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: but you know, my issue is with with Tyron. We
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: have an all pro left tackle and an all pro
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: left guard, and you know, now if we move Tyler outside,
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: we kind of have two holes, you know, guard and center,
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: and you know, I think that's kind of a lot
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: through a place, even with the drafting free agency, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: you know, candidly, I still have nightmares about watching DeMarcus
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Ware walk out the door and go in the Super
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Bowl with the Broncos. I mean, it was the same thing,
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: injury concerns, looked like he was all beat up, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden, I watching him to get ten
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: sacks and you know, Chase cam Newton all over the
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: place in the Super Bowl and then that just stunk.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: I mean, I gotta be honest, and you know, I
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: get it. You know, I'm a fan. I could be emotional.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: The front office is supposed to do that, but it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: just I don't know, I'm just so disappointed.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I hear you, and and I'm not
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: trying to play both sides of this. This is this
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: is kind of this is an interesting dilemma that the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have because you know, I mean, but to keep me,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I think they'll with This is what I talked about
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: last week. When the salary cap goes up like that,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: it makes some teams that had a lot of money,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: now they've got stupid money. Now they've got they got
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Monopoly money now, so the price tag goes up for everyone.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think Tyron Smith probably could have
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: signed you know, Okay, let's let's let's come back again
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and do this and that. But after the year he had,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys know that, man, eighteen million, twenty million is
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a lot. It may not be a lot for these
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: other teams. They're like, we just need a left tackle.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: We got a young guy that could play some if
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: he gets hurt, but let's go with it. And so
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: they have the money to throw at players like this,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, it just kind of makes sense. If
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: he if he if he's not back, do you.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: Still think there's a chance that they work something now?
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: Do you think if he his free agency is pretty
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: much gone.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I I think because of what I just said that
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of money out there, I think he
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: will hit free agency. I think they'll do what they
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: always do. You got our number, get back to us
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: if you know, let me know what kind of deal
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: is out there, And they never do. They never come
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: back and go, well we got this. I mean like
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: it'll be there, the money will be there for him,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and but I I wouldn't. I still think Tyler Smith
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: needs to be playing left left guard. But you know,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: then again then they need to run the football better.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: So however they're going to do that, you know, if
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: they need if they need to put him at tackle
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and get a better guard in there, that's fine too.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But whatever they need to do, they need to run
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: it better.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the part I never understand. I mean, they're
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: an all pro left guard, all pro right guard, all
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: pro left tackle, and you watch the game they can't
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: run the ball. I just don't get it.
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Maybe it's a scheme. I don't know, but it's psy
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: agree with you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm doing something. There's something there. Maybe the players aren't
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: as good, you know, maybe maybe, I mean, seriously, maybe
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it's a well I mean, I'm not saying that Zach
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Martin's not not great. I mean Zach Martin's always been
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: great since the day he got here. But you know,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: sometimes you know, we've seen it when you when you're
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: in an offensive line and you stay in there, it's
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: easy to come back as the Pro Bowl or doesn't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: mean that as a group you're working together. I think
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: center is part of the issue. I think that they'll
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: they'll fix that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: So all right, well, thank you for taking my call,
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: and they's great to talk to you.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: All right, Anthony, was this beam was first? It wasn't
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: first time call, was it? But anyways, no, I don't
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: think so he called during the season. He says he
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to say that. He wasn't going to say
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I like that. I was. We were
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: printing off articles. You know. It has a story about that.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I think I told that story about my mom. When
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I first started working for The Cowboy. She printed off
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: every article, you know, and I was like, you know,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, mom, you your little printer here is
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: going to get worn out. You know, I'm supposed to
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: do two or three a day and and you're doing
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it in color like you know, like she I think
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: she did that for a few weeks and then it
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: was like, all right, you know this is like ninety nine.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: You know, don't need to she.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Can go back and read them, yeah, mom on the internet.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah on the internet. Town. I don't know if they
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: had the archives go back that far read about ninety
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: nine game against the Dolphins or something like that. All right,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: uh Irwin in Colorado's next?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Hey, just a quick story. I don't
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember this around, but I
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: saw you and Derek a couple of years ago here
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: in Denver when the Cowboys were scrimmaging the Broncos. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: believe it was like in Joel.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: It was a super hot naked Oh my god, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: was so hot. Yeah, it was so hot.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: You guys went walking by. I was down there by
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: the goldpost and I was gonna give a shout out
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to you, but you were Yeah. I just do want
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to distract you. Look like you were in a good
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: conversation with Derek.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: But it was great.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: No telling, there's no telling about that. Yeah, now that
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: that was cool. It was a that was a cool,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: cool setup. No, they wouldn't. It wasn't cool as in temperate,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: but it was a neat setup, if you will, there
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in Denver. But uh yeah we we we got we
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: got them on a hot day for sure.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Oh it was so hot and humid and it's not
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: normally like this and you know over here anyway. Yeah,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Like I said, my son was sitting next to me like, hey,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: there goes, there's Nick. You need to you know, and
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I'm not gonna.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you should have you should have. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's always neat. I mean I I that's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: it always happened. Happens at Auxnard or whatever. You know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it is any job you've got you dealing with with
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: stress and stuff like that, and you know, you you
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: might be not in the best mood and then the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: right frame of mind or whatever. But uh, you know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: anytime that happens where somebody stops and says, hey, hey, Nick,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: how's it going or whoever, it's it's cool. It's great
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: because it's just like a quick reminder of like what
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: we're doing and who we're doing it for. And you know,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you know, just like the last caller, you know, printing
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: out articles and things like that. Yeah, I don't think
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: about that kind of stuff. It's weird when it happens,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: but still it's cool. So and that never gets old
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: for me, it really doesn't. I appreciate it a lot.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: And you know what else was really awesome about was
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Bones Fossil came over to us because my grandson was
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: also there, and he was like, he called out when
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Bones came over and started talking to us and finned
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: a little football that he had. He was really a
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: nice dude.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you sounds like you're thirty years old.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I mean you have grandkids.
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: You know, I'm six and five.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's like five kids.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Oh good, good for you. All right, Yeah what do
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: So what I just wanted to see what your thoughts
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: are on this. I really really hope that the Cowboys
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: do something with the defensive line. You know, I really
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: like one of those two defensive tackles from Texas, you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: possibly snatch up a linebacker and a running back and
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: you know them work. You know, obviously worked free agency
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: first and go from there. But get your thoughts on
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: those defensive tackles from Texas and now.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Let you go. Thanks for taking Yeah, well, thanks for
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the thanks for the call, Irwin.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Devandre a Sweat or something. I know his name is Sweat.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know his first name. But I was at
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the Big twelve championship game when Texas played Oklahoma State,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and uh they they gave him the ball like at
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the one and he ran it in or then and
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I think he threw it to him and he caught
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and and did the Heisman pose. And I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: was kind of like, who's this guy? You know, I
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: mean as big as a house, but who's this guy?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: And you know, I've realized how great he's been all
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: all year long. And then he's not even maybe the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: best guy, you know, I mean, Murphy is the other
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Texas tackle. So you know, I have a hard time
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: thinking that they're gonna hit defensive tackle in the in
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the early rounds two years in a row, you know.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: But last year didn't didn't work. It hasn't worked yet.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying Mazzie Smith didn't work. I mean, but
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so far as a rookie, he was not productive. So
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: what you would expect a first round pick or really
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: any pick. I mean, if he was a fifth round pick,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: you know, he wouldn't have been that productive there. So
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: they've got to get something there that might just be
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a position. Let's just see how it kind of shakes out.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see who's still around. I think you're gonna have
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: bigger needs in the first round than that. And I'm
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: not saying it's not important, but I just think you're
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: gonna lose in free agency. You're gonna lose starters, you know.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna lose some starters running back. You're
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: gonna lose starters at center. I think maybe a safety
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: could be a corner Stefan Gilmore. You know. So there's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: there's positions of starting positions. So I just have a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: feeling that they probably won't hit defensive tackle two years
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: in a row. Now, one of those Texas guys Sweat
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: actually might be more of a second round pick, so
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: i'd before it before. I just kind of feel like
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: they're probably gonna go different direction there. All right, let's
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: go uh Ali in Florida.
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: Hello, mistake man, how you doing pretty good?
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: Sale?
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: How about you?
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I'm good? You in Florida? Are you back in the States.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, back in the States. But what I was gonna
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: tell you, I can dominate your international calls, so you
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: will have just as much as international call than domestic ones.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: So stay tuned. But I've got a question for you
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: and have an opinion. My question is, would you I
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: don't want you get in trouble any of the running
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: back on their free agent would you considerer that you
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: like the most to signed one. Then I was thinking
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: on the draft day. You know, I mentioned it before,
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: I really like that center from Oregon and I don't
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: want it goes to Eagle. That's just for some reason,
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: Eagle always get the player that we want.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: So I just checked that out.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: Eagle, Giant, and Redskins each they have two second round
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: draft pick, so I was thinking to save Carolina Panthers
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: since I don't have a first round. If the offensive
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: line that they like is not there, they would trade
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: the twenty fourth first round for Carolina second round, which
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: is thirty three. I believe Cowboys have seven hundred and
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: forty points and there's his five to eighty, and then
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: they pick up the Carolina fourth round pick, which is
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: the top of the fourth round, and then the switch
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: the third round, Uh, swap it. So I know third
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: day everybody wants to get ahead of everybody. That Carolina
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: pick on the fourth round, it's gonna be worth of trade.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: So I was this way, you better position yourself for
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: the third round. Then you pick up a nice second round,
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: it's swept. Any of those fall to you. Then you
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: still have your second round and they pick up the
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: ext round. What are you thinking about that?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: All right? All right, thanks thanks for the call. Ali.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Let me just say I'm I'm very impressed because my
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: vision of you is because you talk about taking you know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: photos in the in the like the safari and the wildlife.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Phray's got all these all these great photos and Chris
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: has actually been to the website and seeing all this stuff.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I just when I think of that person out there
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: shooting like lions and drafts and all this stuff. Also
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: thinking about the swapping picks in the third round and
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: picking up a fourth and getting this points and getting
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: making it even and getting that fourth round pick at
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: the start of the third day, which is Jerry and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: them always called the war Daddy pick and all that stuff.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: That's impressive to me. That is impressive. That is a
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: versatile person. I am very very impressed. A LEI. We
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: need to think about putting you on the team, on
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: the all storyline team, which I'm joking because I think
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: you already got a spot, but that that's really impressive.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I love love the question. I love love the thinking there,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and then not just thinking trade back. People say that
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: all time trade back. Well, with who you can't just
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: trade back? You gotta gotta get a partner, Carolina. That
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: seems like a good one, you know. You know, it
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: just depends on what you trade for. Wouldn't trade for
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: their security director or anything like that, but you might
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: get it like a draft pick or something from them.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: So uh, I like it. I like it for sure.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: And I think if if you get wiped out of
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: what you really want in the first round, then then yeah,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely thinking about, you know, trading, trading back and
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: and and maybe adding some picks because you don't only
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: have one in the fourth, fifth or sixth right now.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: And your first question though, was about running backs, which
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: one would you take? You know, they're they're also expected
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: to be free agents, and they they're not gonna get
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: tagged again, so they're gonna be This isn't tampering or
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: anything like that. I mean, I just I don't think
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I'm not sure what they're gonna do. If
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: they're gonna try to go for one of these, I
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: would and I I still like the guy in New York.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: That's that would be. That would be my number one
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: if I if I had to get a back, I
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: would go for I would go with that. I would
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: go with Barkley. He would be my number one choice there.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a splash move. And I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: think that would you know, he he just seems like
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: he does a lot on as a pass catcher as well.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I know health is an issue. I mean,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: none of these guys are free agents because they're just
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: so awesome. You know, there's something about all of them
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: that's why they're available, all right, Chris and San Angelo.
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, awesome to talk to you again. Buddy. Hey, Hey,
• 46:31
  Speaker 11: I'm doing wonderful. I hope you are to you. Yeah,
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: I was, I was wondering. I'm kind of I heard
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: a lot of the things that I was going to discuss,
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: mainly about Tyron Smith, discussed while I was on hold.
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: But that's okay. I was still gonna ask, let's say,
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: if they you know, if it does happen that they
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: let go of him, do you think that it kind
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: of pigeonholes him into twenty four? Has to be that
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: tackle replacement. And the only other thing I had was that,
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: you know, we recently got Greg Ellis as an assistant
• 47:11
  Speaker 11: for the defense, and so I was wondering if he
• 47:14
  Speaker 11: knew anything about his coaching style, like is he more
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: of a is he a ball breaker, more of a technician,
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: or hopefully a little good combo of both. I'm just
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: saying what you thought about that?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Which coach? Which coach you talking about? Greg?
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: Greg Ellis? Yes, he's a yeah, yeah, he was a
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: don't think an assistant.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he'd be a ballbuster. I don't
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: think he'd be that kind of guy. But that's I mean,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: that's okay too. I mean the position that he's got
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: will be a consistent defensive line coach, so right, that
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: you're not going to be that. But but you played
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: a lot, you understand you just you understand how to
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: play in the league, and I think that that matters
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: little little techniques here and there, because it's not just
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: stuff you get, you know, at a at a coaching
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: clinic and you're picking up how do you rush the passer?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And how do you play devensil No, I've done it,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: you know, That's what he says. I did this. Yeah,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: when I made the Pro Bowl, I did this. I
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: think that goes a long way. So I think he's
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: gonna I think he's gonna be helpful for sure.
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: Awesome, Okay, well, thank you. I mean that's really just
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: those two questions. The thing about Tyron Smith about and
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: the pick twenty four, if they let him go, if
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: you think that that makes makes it where they have
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: to do that, I have to draft a tackle at
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: twenty four.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: That's that's interesting, and that's a that's a really good question.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: That's that's what. Thanks for the call, Chris. I appreciate that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what the Cowboys don't want to happen.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: They don't want to go into the draft with these
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: glaring needs that everyone knows and then all of a sudden,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: this tackle that they really like from whatever school that
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: they had rated as the tenth best player and he's
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: sitting there at twenty one, twenty two, and he's their
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: best tackle on the board or their best player, and
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: and everyone knows it. And then it's like, well, they
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: don't have Tyrony, they lost Tyron, they didn't sign anybody.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: So if we want this guy, we got to jump
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Dallas at twenty four. They don't want that, they don't
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: want and they don't want, but you know that that
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to to be the case. And so I and I
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: think if you do lose Tyron Smith, I think you're
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to go into the draft and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: at least, you know, especially if you lose Piattish and
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Tyron Smith, I mean, who's behind them? You know, you
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: you've you've got to probably go into the first round
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: and and get and get that, and everyone's going to
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: know it. But that's just kind of the way it is.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: And the good thing is that at least there's a
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of tackles available there. There should be
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: five to seven tackles that could go in the first
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: round at least. That's what That's what my draft guys
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: are saying. All right, got a lot of text, question,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Chare I think the lines are open, right, Chris? We
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: got a few more minutes here. Lines are open. They're open,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: open lines. If you want to call let's call in
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: is the number. A couple of text messages here we got.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: This is from Anthony in New Jersey. He'd called a
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: few minutes ago, just spoke to you on the phone
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: forgot to give you my random former Cowboy player Derek Canard.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Derek Canard, you know, Nate Newton loved him, and I
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: think it was because he was probably the only player
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: bigger than him, you know, so any kind of jokes
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: or whatever, it always went to him. They called him
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: big Baby, and I think and I think Madden loved
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: him as well. But yeah, I mean Canard, he was
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: just he was one of those he played something and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: then in the mid nineties and I think he started
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: at times he was more of a backup, but I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: mean there was times where they needed him, and man,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: they definitely had size when he was in there. I
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: didn't cover the team when he was there. I just
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: remember watching him. And yet Nate always talks about big
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Baby there Carnard. So all right, we've got another text
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: question here. This is from Bryant B. He's from Newport News, Virginia.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on running back Trey Benson or
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks. What round would you draft one of those
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: guys or would you go in a different direction? You
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: got me on Trey Benson. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. Honestly,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: that's just I don't go into the draft too much,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: especially this early. I can, I can give you sort
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: of a baseline there, but there is a draft show.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: They did it today, So I apologize for that. I
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: guess that there there are a lot of people that
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I don't I just don't know Trey Benson. I do
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: know Jonathan Brooks being here. It's a Texas guy. He's
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the guy that got hurt, and uh, it just seems
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: like a Jerry pick, right, I mean the guy that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: That's your second round pick.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that right. I mean that's oh, you
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: got torn a cl You would have been maybe the
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: first rounder, but now you're not. But you're still going
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: to be okay, second round. I mean that's just kind
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: of that's what it is. There's always something on the
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: file there.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: For the second running back out of Florida, he ran
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: a four three nine at the at the and.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: If I would have read the next message that, yeah,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that there's a lot of text going on here,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: so I just cut it off there. If I would
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: have kept reading, Chris probably knew that I didn't know
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: who Trey Benson was four three nine. I never heard
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: of Trey Benson before, but a four to three nine
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: from Florida State. All of a sudden, I kind of
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: like him. I like old Trey Benson. Oh TV, Yeah,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I have a boy can run. I like him. Yeah, yeah,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm okay with that. I mean again, I'm
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: not trying to say I know a whole lot of
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I do like Brooks though, uh torn a cl obviously
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: not not great, but you know, they rehab these injuries quick,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: and he'll he'll be fine. It's more than just the position.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: It's more than the number. It's more than the dreads
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: hanging out of the back it he he did remind
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: me a lot of Marian Barber, the way the way
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: he ran, but he's but he's faster than that. I know,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: he's faster than I. Talking about Jonathan Brooks, I wore
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: twenty four Texas and all that, so maybe I just
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't get that out of my mind. But I really
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: liked the way he ran. He ran and it's also
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: his demeanor too. He doesn't seem like he's too you know, louder,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: brash or anything, just kind of you know, it's just
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: kind of blue collar guy. So I liked I liked him,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: uh for sure. But but yeah, I'm I'm second round
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: back somebody in the second round, I mean, because that's
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: a position where you're gonna come in and do something.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I still would like to get a veteran though. I
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: still think there's a there's a veteran and and I'm
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: not talking about a Ronald Jones type guy. I mean
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: better than that. Better than that, and then draft someone
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I think he'd be fine, all right.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: And by the way, to add up on the on
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: the Brooks thing, uh, doctor Dan Cooper actually did his surgery,
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: so they will they will.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Know always and doctor Cooper's on. That's a good insight, Chris,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: A lot of Uh. Doc Cooper has been in with
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys for many many years, goes to every game.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: He's the team you know, one of the team physicians,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: one of them. Sorry, and he did the surgery on
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, you know, And so just a little insight,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: that's all it is. I mean, that's that's that's what
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you do. I mean, if he'll call him up and say,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: what do you what do you think? So that that
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: that's that will help them for sure, and so that
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: makes looking better and better right now, right there, Let's
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: go to Bruce and Houston. I'm good. How are you doing?
• 54:46
  Speaker 13: Hey, I'm doing great?
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: Hey?
• 54:47
  Speaker 13: And uh and Jonathan Brooks. I'm a big ut fan.
• 54:51
  Speaker 13: I watched him, of course, and but he's I think
• 54:54
  Speaker 13: he's six six one two five something else about TV
• 54:57
  Speaker 13: as you call him.
• 54:58
  Speaker 12: I like that.
• 54:59
  Speaker 13: Trey Benson. Yeah, he's like sixty one, about two twenty five,
• 55:02
  Speaker 13: maybe even two thirty too.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: No, no, Benson, he's six three, he's two thirty and
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: he ran a four three nine.
• 55:12
  Speaker 13: That's what I think. I think his stats are six
• 55:14
  Speaker 13: foot or six foot one, two twenty eight at is
• 55:17
  Speaker 13: what it. I think it says on his bio. And
• 55:19
  Speaker 13: if he's that big.
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: And ran a four thirty nine, good.
• 55:22
  Speaker 13: Lord, he may have pushed himself in the first round,
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: you know what I mean?
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Lord? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't see this motion that
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, let's come on. Oh No, I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: a fan of that for.
• 55:35
  Speaker 13: Me too, And I agree with you. I think we
• 55:38
  Speaker 13: need a draft. I mean, we need to get a veteran.
• 55:41
  Speaker 13: You know, everybody wants Henry and I would mind him too,
• 55:44
  Speaker 13: and might that might be the perfect scenario because then
• 55:47
  Speaker 13: you share the reps, you know, and you don't wear
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: him out and maybe staving for the playoffs and but
• 55:54
  Speaker 13: this kid. But they got to get a young one.
• 55:58
  Speaker 13: And I'm sorry Tony Pollard needs to go. You want
• 56:01
  Speaker 13: to keep dud El or if the other guy Davis
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: for whatever, then that's fine. But draft of running back
• 56:07
  Speaker 13: every it's almost like linebacker.
• 56:09
  Speaker 12: It's just the position.
• 56:10
  Speaker 13: Every four years you get a new one. I hate
• 56:12
  Speaker 13: to say it that way there you know it's a lotterie,
• 56:16
  Speaker 13: but that it is what it is. But and I
• 56:18
  Speaker 13: think the way since Tying is probably and I hope
• 56:21
  Speaker 13: he does go to Kansas City and get a ring.
• 56:23
  Speaker 13: It's just like demarkt where did you know?
• 56:26
  Speaker 11: I'll be okay with that.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:29
  Speaker 13: He certainly has given several hometown discounts for you know,
• 56:33
  Speaker 13: the money positions of the left tackle as he's done
• 56:36
  Speaker 13: so and with with the deep draft, with the tackle position.
• 56:40
  Speaker 13: If they stay at twenty four, I hope they get
• 56:42
  Speaker 13: that center from Oregon. But now that Kelsey retired out
• 56:45
  Speaker 13: of Philly and Miami was projected to get us a
• 56:49
  Speaker 13: power PG whatever his name is, is going to be
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: there at twenty four. If he is, I agree with
• 56:55
  Speaker 13: you earlier. That's that's the position that was, we have
• 56:58
  Speaker 13: these all pros, even though they're flying in an age
• 57:01
  Speaker 13: our weakness was up the gut and that you know,
• 57:04
  Speaker 13: on both sides, I want them to go after a
• 57:07
  Speaker 13: big o' stud tackle too. If sweats there, you'd probably
• 57:11
  Speaker 13: have to get him and maybe you could do a
• 57:12
  Speaker 13: deal like Ole was talking about trading down to thirty
• 57:18
  Speaker 13: nine and still getting possibly a tackle. But man, if
• 57:21
  Speaker 13: you've got a chance to get a money position and
• 57:23
  Speaker 13: on the cheat for the next quarter well five years,
• 57:25
  Speaker 13: five years, yeah, you gotta take it, don't you make Yeah?
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's that's the part of the that's
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: that's part of that's what I really love about that fifth,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: fifth year option is because that's that's what makes teams
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: want to come down and go back into that into
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: the draft, especially if they want a quarterback. The key
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: is always quarterbacks. Quarterbacks, That's that's what you got to
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: be looking at. Quarterbacks will determine things like that, you know,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: if there's one that's falling for whatever the reason, a
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: bo Nix or maybe they from Michigan or something like that,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: where you know he's sitting there. That's we've seen Jerry
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: do that. Hey, you want this quarterback, you can have
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: this pick. It'll probably cost you more because I know
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: you want the quarterback, you know, And yeah, there's there'll
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: be a lot happening, you know.
• 58:11
  Speaker 12: And I'm hoping they do that.
• 58:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm hoping they do that because because the way
• 58:16
  Speaker 13: this draft is now, Yeah, you'd have to go I'm
• 58:19
  Speaker 13: like sweat number two, second round, but I don't. I think, Man,
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: did you see that big boy is forty? No, think
• 58:27
  Speaker 13: about this Nick he ran he ran five to two one. Yeah,
• 58:31
  Speaker 13: that is just one second slower than Worthy did and
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: he's got two hundred pounds on him. Yeah, wrap that
• 58:39
  Speaker 13: around your mind.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Isaiah standback was what he was talking about. The lineman.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: He didn't mention his name, but he did talk about
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the guy that was the three forty three fifty. They
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: ran a five to two. We were talking about Worthy
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: and how impressive that is. I mean, to me, the
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: most impressive one was Brian. Is it Brian Thomas Lsu.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: I mean that's like I think maybe it's not Brian time.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I think so for three three's and he's like fifty
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: pounds heavier than than Worthy, you know, and he led
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: the nation and catches too, i mean touchdown catches so
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: but Worthy speed.
• 59:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's fash.
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I'd like to see Dallas maybe get he didn't
• 59:20
  Speaker 13: run because I think he's got to hurt knee Whittington,
• 59:23
  Speaker 13: the other Texas wide out. Dallas might could get him
• 59:26
  Speaker 13: in the fifth or sixth. Yeah, And earlier show, they
• 59:29
  Speaker 13: were talking about Gallup and I know they made Jerry
• 59:33
  Speaker 13: said and his all in, you know, sit Tom there
• 59:35
  Speaker 13: that they're talking to him. But if they do make
• 59:38
  Speaker 13: him a June first post cut, I mean he he
• 59:42
  Speaker 13: covers your whole draft money wise, doesn't he. I mean
• 59:45
  Speaker 13: with that kind of money, can't you pay the whole
• 59:47
  Speaker 13: draft with his his ten million? I think they would get.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean well for the most part, yes, I mean,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and there's other things too. I Mean people don't realize
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: that that like you're I mean, you're practice squad costs
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: a lot more than it used to. It's big down,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: so there's a lot of money that you got to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: have and plus you know, you it's it's really important too.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: You can't just look at cap space and think, you know,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: this is what they have and they'll they'll just you know,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: use it all. I mean there's a rollover too, and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: so it'll be beneficial for the Cowboys to save as
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: much as they can on the cap. And that's something
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: that I think fans are going to probably not understand
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: or at least not not love to hear, is that
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys might have to do some rollovers for next year.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: But there's there's a there's a lot to happen, a
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: lot going on.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 13: So all right, lot going on. Last last thing real quick, yeah,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 13: is free agency is going to tell us what they're
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 13: going to do in draft. I mean, they always want
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 13: to get in a position where they can take BBA.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 13: But if you can get get strong in the middle,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 13: whether it's a defensive tackle, put thirty pounds back on Mazie,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 13: maybe Zimber can work with him, I hope, and resign
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 13: Hankins and get a linebacker two and are running back.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 13: I mean that's asking a lot. But if they start
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: moving some uh contracts around and and push all in
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 13: on Prescott and not. I just I want to see
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 13: him do it. I think that one year is good
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 13: light of fire on all of them and play that way,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 13: you know what I mean? We had fans would would
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 13: would enjoy it. Now, you know you said earlier someone
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 13: said about their longevity and their security. Those guys are
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 13: going to be okay, and the coaches will too because
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 13: they can find jobs. But good show, Nick, a great one.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. All right, Uh, Chris, were good on time.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I know. We got another call, you know, and hurry
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: got any meetings and now as long as the phone
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: a long as they hear the phone ring, and we'll
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: be on for a little bit. We got a new
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: we got a first time caller here. We've got Paul
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: in Sanger, Texas. What is up?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: Let's call it all that. Hey, I don't know if
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 12: y'all covered this or not.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: I just sang it all and I gotta ask you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: about Singer Texas real quick as I had a question. Okay, well,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: when I when I went to college, but what's the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: state university? In mid nineties? We were the Indians, okay,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: and there was like four or five people from Singer
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: that I went to school with. I don't know how
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: old you are, but I know a few people from
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Singer and they were the Sanger Indians. Are they still
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: the Indians? Yep, hanging in there. I like it. I
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: like it. They didn't just change mascots just to change.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 12: They're Indians. They got purple in their count that.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've never actually been to Singer, but I feel
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: like I have because I seriously went to school with
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: about five people there that they're all from Singers right
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: right outside of Didton, right, I mean it's about ten
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes from Didnton. If I think, all right,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: what do you got.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 12: Paul Man, I want to talk about Harvey Martin. If
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 12: you all haven't talked about him before, well.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: We, I mean not this show. I mean we probably
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned him at some point, but no, go right ahead.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: There had been a lot of Harvey talk. Go ahead, we.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: Need to think about getting him and to Ring Honor.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not the first person to think that way.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: You're I mean, you're not wrong. I mean I know
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: the guy DeMarcus Ware. You know he's in the Hall
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: of Fame. I mean he's in the Ring of Honor
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: and and Boll Hall of Fame. Too, but Ring of Honor,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: and he had to pass Harvey Martin, uh in the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: all time Sackbreger. I mean he had it for years.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 12: I first time, first time. You know, he's the first
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: team All Pro, one time, three times second All Pro,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: uh super Bowl champion, m v P. So cowboy, he's
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: a faxt leader in the league.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 12: So he's done it all he needs he needs to
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 12: be in there.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one he You know, I said, if I had,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: if I had to pick five, five guys for the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, I said, Everson Wallas. I think Harvey Martin.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I I think I think you that covers
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of your seventies, your your eighties.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Charlie Waters too.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie Waters. I probably would put the other two
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: guys first, though, I mean I think Harvey and Everson.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I think if you were to ever go
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: back into the sixties, I think Cornell Green sixties and seventies,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: that Cornell Green would be worthy of that. But yeah,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Yeah, I'm I'm not big on Charlie Waters. Well,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: you know you say that, Charlie Waters.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: He's tired for the NFL record and career.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: The playoffs. That's what was gonna say. Charlie Waters has
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: incredible playoff numbers, and so there's something to be said
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: for that. Now, he played a lot of games, but
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: he but he was playing well there.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 12: So yeah, and he was a captain of that defense.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well what do you think about this team? Paul
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: to think?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 12: Just yeah, Jerry's gonna mess it up, Arry, Jerry. Jerry
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 12: just wants to make money, that's all, okay?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean all right, all right, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 12: I go all right, I'm always I'm always hopeful. Yeah,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: but in the end, Jerry screws it up.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, Well appreciate the call.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 12: Probably you have to understand something. I mean, I've been around,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 12: I've been a count West seventies, early seventies. I'm used.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: I'm used to them winning, being consistent. This s doff
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: ain't cutting it.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, different different era, different different different NFL. Of course,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Uh and I get it. It's not it's not cutting it.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: If that's the expectations, and that's what the expects should be,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: that's what that's what they are. So yeah, it's not
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: cutting it. But you know what we we we were
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: always coming back from more always back to see if
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: this is the year. So I know it sucks you
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: back in. I get it. I get the frustration. All right, Paul,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: thanks for the thanks for the call. First time caller.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: We've got to give it to him. Chris, there's time
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: caller Sanger Texas. It's awesome. Yeah, probably shouldn't have asked
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: that last part about what you think for the team.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: He asked about Harvey Matt, we just tough to Jerry
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: gonna screw it up? Well I don't. I mean, yeah,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: if we don't have to sit and it go and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: go down that road. I mean, that's that's always seems
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: to be one where it's like, you know, you hear
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: that a lot, and Jerry does this, and that this
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: team has all this talent, and then you're then you
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: gotta remember how the talent get here, you know. I mean,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: it's it's just a it's just a tough situation because
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: this team is they're good. It's a good team, and
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: that's that's the frustration part is the Cowboys have a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: good team and at times in the last three years
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: they've been really good, but they haven't been really great.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: And really great teams are the ones that go to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: the championship game, to the Super Bowl, and they just
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: haven't been. And that's just the frustrating parties. They're just
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: right there. And then their record is good, the records
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: at the top that they've been, you know, second second
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: seed last year. I think they were three a couple
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: of years ago. So they've been all around it, you know.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: They they've been one of the three or four best
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: teams in the NFC now for three straight years and
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: they just haven't made it, you know, And that's just
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: the way it is. And I'm sitting here watching on
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: NFL Network. They're showing Buffalo and Tennessee and I you know,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm the Cowboys are Buffalo without you know, just
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: with but with history, with you know, actually winning a championship.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of what they are.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Buffalo's you know, got this quarterback that's up there, and
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: their team is good and they're always there, but they
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: haven't they haven't made it. You know. It's that that
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: type of thing, and it's frustration. But then again, it's
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: kind of what Paul had just said. The standards different,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: you know, because the standard at Buffalo was to go
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and loose, and that's the that's been.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: That's kind of been the best that they've done. And
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not picking on Buffalo. I'm just saying I'm watching it,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying, this is a team that's been good
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the last year, has been very competitive, just not good enough.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: And that's the frustration part is that just not good enough.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna get a high draft pick out of this.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be picking late and you don't have you know,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: but you still haven't been able to put it together
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: and win. So but let's don't forget that when we
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: get into a free agency and all this stuff. Let's
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: just don't forget this is still a pretty good football team. Okay,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty good team, has a chance to be
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: really good. Pieces have to come together. You hope to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: get some of the guys back. But I'm I'm not
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: defending them for if they don't do anything. They need
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: to try to do something here, they try to They
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: got to mix it up. This what they've done for
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: thirty years really isn't working. You've got to be able,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to do something in
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: free agency, something a little bit more than they have.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I hopefully they'll they'll figure out creative ways to do that.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: All right, this is gonna be the end of the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: show today. Our next show is Friday. A new schedule
