  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Cowboys. This is He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What is up? Everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. Another edition
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: here on Thursday, April the fourth, and we are here
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to talk draft, talk, free agency, talk about trades. Maybe
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: not trades the Cowboys have made, but I'm sure they
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can talk about some trades other teams have made that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: might affect the Cowboys at some point in the season.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll want to talk about all of that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and more. Cowboys. I guess they did a little bit
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: since the last time we did a show. They a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: little bit. I guess they signed re signed Chuma Edoga
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: or I guess he's agreed to terms. I'm not sure
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: he's actually signed yet, but he has agreed terms. We'll
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: be joining the team again. And that gives him a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: little depth at left tackle, left guard.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know, anytime you can get some the versatile players
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like that and it's a one year deal, it's on
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the cheap and just provides a little bit of experience
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and depth at that position. You know, I would imagine
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the Cowboy's going to draft a tackle at some point,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: first round, maybe second round, somebody to play left tackle.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: If he is he ready, you know, that's that's the key,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: uh there. You hope that he would be, because that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: why you're probably going to draft him over some other people.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's just how available and ready they are to play.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But if not, you know, you do have some experience
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: there in a guy like him or Will let's go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or Josh Ball or Awesoin Richards or somebody there that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: gives you a little bit more options if you're the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: guy that you draft isn't actually ready to go? All right,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: speaking ready to go? Eight eight eight five five two
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: two nine seven The number to call. You can text
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: at eight eight one nine zero three two nine eight.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We'll take some texts. We'll take some calls. We'll start
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: us off with Anthony in Miami.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Anthony, my guy, Nick the quick, My god, what's up?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: How you doing, man, bro?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I'm hey, I'm chilling riding around town. I caught you guys.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: You and Chris worked all week. I'm tired. I got
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: one day off and I'm gonna enjoy it with my
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: old lady in our new place that don't have a
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: good reception. All right, So that's how that's gonna go. Okay,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: kind of on the draft. You know, we ended that
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: thing last week when I hit you up. I ended
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: that thing, right, I tried to. So what I want
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: to do now is to kind of go with what
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: we said as far as people need to step up
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: and positions, because you know, when we don't really have
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: the money and things, we gotta do. So in the drown,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: correct me if I'm all we have a one, two, three, five, six, seven, seven, right?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, man, I need a four. I don't care
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: how you get it. You want to trade back a
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: few spots. I think you still can get your tackle
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: running back to the tackle and linebacker if you trade
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: back a few spots. I need that four. Package up something,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Get me another one, Get me a three or four? Okay, ever,
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: you got to go on the next year. And maybe
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: that's what Jerry meant by all. Then maybe it's not
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: really the money. Maybe it's the capital sometimes who knows,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: But let's do that. But I know you just need
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: one lineman. If I hear anybody saying possible receiver, if
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: somebody selling or what are you crazy?
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: If we can't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Do what we need to do with that. And coach
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: McCarthy can't use all pro City Lomb Brandy Cooks, Tobert Brooks,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Purfin and Furpacy my so callon receiver something's wrong. So
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: we don't don't go crazy. Get what you need because
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: you know, you gotta pay people and then fill these holes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: And let's coat that's where some ball man be perfect.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Yeprock I got and I want to know how this
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: guy's doing. And he's got a story and we can
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: damn sure using right now. He's a running back twenty
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: five lands dun bar. All right, time buddy, to go
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: around here, take care some business.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, sure what that means. But anyways, uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: good stuff from Anthony. Now you know you got to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: remember too, he goes get what you need, get what
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you need, well, get what you need for win. See
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that's what's different about this draft maybe and some other drafts.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mike McCarthy, we all kind of know the deal.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: If it's not if if there's not success this year,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of long term future is there
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: with him?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So he's not looking to trade back a whole lot.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He's not definitely not looking at the trade in the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: next year's draft, he's got to you know, this is
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: his free agency, is the draft. He's got to get
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: these guys. He's got to get the best talent that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he can for now. So that's what Anthony's saying. But
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you got to remember sometimes the people that are drafting
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: are thinking more big picture, so wide receiver, it doesn't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: seem like a top priority. But for whatever the reason,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Cede Lamb was there in twenty twenty and he became
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a priority really quick, even though defensive line and corner
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was a bigger need, but they couldn't pass up on
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: talent there. So that's where sometimes you get a little
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: difference of agendas. Who's agenda are we drafting for here?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We're drafting for right now? Are we drafting for the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: best player available? And that's the you know, that debate
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: goes on and it's gone on for years. Best available
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: need versus best available player. And this team has a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: few needs and they have needs for down the road.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, ced Lamb, Brandon cook sounds really good.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks on his last year of his deal. He's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: done after this, I imagine he's not back on the team.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, and then you have Tolbert who
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: still hasn't developed into a you know, a quality player
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: just yet. So so you might need something there at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: wide receiver for down the line. So I don't think
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you just overlook it because it's it doesn't fit necessarily
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: into the depth chart right now, all right, Lance Dunbar
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he was, you know, a good player, you know, local
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: guy in North Texas, and you know he those those
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: type of players especially, it was like, you know, we're
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: right where Romo was kind of towards the end of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Romo's time there where it was kind of figuring out,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: man that that you can have a special player here
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: if you can get a guy out of the backfield.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I think that game they beat the Giants in Week
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: one where Romo rallies them back. I mean I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Dunbar caught ten passes in that game. You know, not
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for a lot of yards, but I mean ten ten passes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the first usually just you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: dump it off to your guys. So he you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a long career. He wasn't a big
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: dude or anything like that, so but he definitely had
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: had a purpose, and I think if he could have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: stayed healthy, which is the case for a lot of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: running backs, you know, he could have played a lot longer.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Paul in Vancouver. Hey with that,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Mick har you went, Hey Paul, what's up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: Doing well? Hope you're doing well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I taught a couple of questions before we get to that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: I've been lucky to get through a couple of times.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to thank you and Chris for all
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: the hard work you guys put in, and you guys
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: are the best on the community you've built here. And yeah,
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: I respect you guys a lot because you guys covered
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: these games and catch Red Eye Flights new podcast next
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: day and yeah, you know it's it's really impressed. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: thank you for everything that you do.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate the acknowledgment of that, because there's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: times when you're working on a two or three hours
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: sleep at best, and uh yeah, and but you know what,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: especially on the fun games, you know, there was a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: couple last year where it was like, man, it's gonna
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: be a you know, a quick morning, but I can't
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: wait to get in here. I can't wait to hear
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: what you guys have to say. So as long as
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that does never change, and then it's not really work,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If you're not really if
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you're not really having to work to work, I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you're doing it right. So that's what it feels like
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for me. All right, Paul, what do you got?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: I enjoyed the show Tuesdays, like when you guys talked
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: about running backs. So you know, I'm trying to understand
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: how we got to this position now because I can't
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: really think the last time maybe three is when we'll
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: put this situation is what it was at running back.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: So can you kind of like touch on what the
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: logic was of franchising Tony Poller's last year, because you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: they obviously we have a lot of smart people in
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: the front office, like they obviously you know, saw what
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: what the capital strains this offseason, So whether they're just
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: trying to buy a year or do they project that
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: this draft would be very strong? Like what what was
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: the logic on that? And I'm really expecting Daubtle to
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: be that short yard is back. I don't think it
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: was his fault last year because blocking wasn't better, So
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: I think that's a reasonable expectation. And the other question
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: I had is, you know, I really enjoy your perspective.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: You know, I come from Canada once a year to
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: a game, and I really enjoyed watching Michael Gallup play
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: and I was there for a lot of his big plays.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: So he's tried my favorite live player to watch. So
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of curious who yours is. And you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: keep up good work and congrats on everything, and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: hope we get it done for you this year.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, favorite live player to watch? That is that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the question?
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, would you like watching live?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, appreciate appreciate the call. This is going
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to sound really bad. I'm not trying to figure out
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a way to say this, but I mean, I'm proud
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of the fact I haven't missed the game in twenty
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: twenty four years, so I've seen him. All of them
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have been live. I mean, I know that's not going
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to come out right, but I'm just trying. I'm trying
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to say. When you first said that, I kind of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: thought more of a basketball type thing, you know what
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just watch somebody kind of up close.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I have to think about that a little bit. That's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a that's a unique question to me, and I wasn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: trying to come across his life. I go to all
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the games, but I mean, we're very fortunate to do that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Let me think about that one. That's good. Going back
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to Pollard, the Pollard part, you know, I think you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: said it best. You said, are they trying to buy
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a year? Because what they had seen from him was
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that a dynamic player paired with another running back that's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: doing a lot more of the dirty work. And so also,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the franchise tag is relatively cheap. I mean, I hate
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to say that ten million dollars is cheap, but for
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: your starting running back to just get him on the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: franchise deal one year and let's see what he can
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: do as a starter. And I think what we saw
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was that he was okay as a starter. It probably
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: needs a little bit more help around him to be
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you know, flashy and dynamic and all that stuff. So
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know, let's see what happens. If he just blows up,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: then you're like, all right, you've got him and you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: can re sign him to a big deal. And if
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of pretty good like it was, then
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens to the next year
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and see what the market looks like. And that's what happened.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: He signed with someone else, and so that's kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: how they got here. It was just that. And they
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: were trying to draft running backs, you know, they were
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: last year. They were looking at running backs. They you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I bet they're kind of kicking themselves a little bit
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for not getting I can't think of his name now,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a chain from Miami, you know, the A and M
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: running back. They liked him. They liked another running back
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: from Texas too, not b John Robinson, but the other
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: guy wrote Roshawn Johnson maybe, so they had some their
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: eyes on running backs. It just didn't really work out,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you know, for them, and then they got deuced and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you know, that didn't really work out as far as
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: help for running back. So this is kind of where
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: they are this year. And I still think they're going
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to add a veteran I really do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: This last show, we talked a lot about Zeke for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: potentially coming back, and I think that's a possibility, but
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: add another running back for sure, all right, Uh, my
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: screen's frozen. It is Rob in Vegas? Is that next Rob?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Rob dropped? Oh Rob seriously? Okay, Well, from one captain
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to the other, we'll go We'll go to Joe and Stanford.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: What's up, Hey, what's up?
• 12:39

• 13:03
  Speaker 8: But here, yeah, that's gonna that's gonna kill I'm gonna
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: work seven to three now. Now, I'll probably do a
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: lot more texting because you might be able to get
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: me in that way.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna fit perfectly into the new feature. We're

• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I'm stoked.
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Good that makes me happy, because, yeah, it's gonna be
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: rough for me to get on live.
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I really have enjoyed the show over this last
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: year man, and it sucks. I mean it really, this
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: is a highlight of my week a lot of times
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: in my day during the season.
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: Thanks so appreciate, you know, just overall, looking at everything
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: that's been happening, I feel like I would I have
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: crossed the bridge as far as what's going on.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: I was really pissed for a few weeks. I think,
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: you know, we've talked about this a little bit, but
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: the false expectations that were set, I don't even know
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: if it was on purpose what Jerry did at the
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: end of the season what to all end stuff really
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: screwed up everybody's heads. And I think I've sort of
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: washed that out. I mean, it's obvious that it wasn't
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: meant the way it was said, so as I have
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: done that and really looked at our situation. In a
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: long view, what they're doing is smart. It makes sense.
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: You know, we've got to try to we've got to
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: try to sign our talent and get talent of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: draft way. I know it gets old with some people,
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: but you know, I don't feel like even though we've
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: lost some guys that I know, you know, made us
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: better overall, I don't feel like like the core of
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: this team is that much different. I think we're still
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: in good shape. You know. I think we definitely have
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: to draft better of this year. And I think if
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: we do that, you know, I don't see why we
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: can't win twelve games again for the Force year in
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: a row.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I mean, all right, all right, well, Joe,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I like the optimism, and I you know, I did
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a starting lineup projection the other day on the website
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a week ago, and uh, you know, here's here's what
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a starting lineup would look like right now. And and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I got I got a lot of feedback on that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of you know what, not so bad, you know, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and so that's that's kind of what my thought was too.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You know, you just look at them at the defense
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and go, all right, who's gonna be on defense and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: what's the offense look like. And yeah, I mean it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: easy to look at the guys you lost, but but
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean you've you've gained. You haven't gained
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a lot, but you have. This is a good roster
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and and now they're just gonna have to to count
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: on these young players. They mean, the young guys have
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to step up. They need their there's there's We're gonna
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: do another series starting today, I believe, called Next Man
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Up and it's about focused on about twenty twenty five guys.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: We'll do one each day and and that that really
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: need like this is their time. Most of them are
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: on you know, their rookie contracts still and they haven't
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to really get into this role. And
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen for them. So at Jalen Tolbert as
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: like the first first example there. So they need five
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of those guys to really step up. You know, twenty
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of them are going to get to play more. But
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I'm talking like like do a Ferguson step up, do
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a Doron Bland type thing. That that's what they really
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: need to make this where that this is their free
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: agency and this is their draft is those pool of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: players have got to take it to the next level
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and so or or it's just they're going to have
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: depth issues all season long. They've got to, you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: develop playmakers. And they're here. I mean, they're on the roster.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They just gotta they gottam they gotta develop. That's it,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go. They got a question here first,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a text question from Dan and Philly. He's an All
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Storyline team member from the text Line because he does
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it so often. He has good stuff. So his question
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: today is do you think the Cowboys will use a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: different draft strategy this year compared to past year? Is
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: because the coaches are on a one year deal, players
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: tend to be drafted for certain schemes and coaching preferences.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Many of these coaches may not be back next year
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: depending on the season's outcome. Doesn't this make Will mcclay's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: job this draft even more difficult? Yeah, I mean he'll
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: say no, he'll say no, it's not gonna change. He said,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna draft good football players, and we're drafting for
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the scheme. You know, if you draft a good football player,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll be good at any scheme. I mean they
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: probably would be so No, I think where they draft
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it has to you know, they have to be have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: an overall grade for that unless it certainly helps to know, hey,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he'll fit, this is what our coordinator likes, and this
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and that. But you know, I think for the most part,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you're going to draft a player that that would fit
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in in last year's scheme, this year's scheme, in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: one maybe in five years or whatever. So I bet
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you he would say no, no change in the strategy,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and it really doesn't change make his job even more
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: difficult here or not. His past cowboy was Preston Pearson.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You know another one of those guys, a good running
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: back receiver out of the backfield. I know this when
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I looked up who how many players have ever caught
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns in a playoff game? Because I because Ferguson
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: just did it. Unless you tuned out and you don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: know that in the Green Bay game, he actually caught
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns in that game. Obviously no one cares, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I just was curious, does it ever happen? And it did.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It was Preston Pearson. Uh, he caught three in a
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: game as a running back slash receiver. So that's what
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you know. Versatility is what I remember out of Preston
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Pierson a little bit before my time, but I do
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: remember him.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the next caller, Brett in Richmond, Virginia. Hey,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: how's going, Hey Brett, what's up?
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: How much?
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: First time caller?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought so.
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna run through it. My favorite wrestler, Brett Hart.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: Favorite cowboy growing up is with Irvin random cowboy Jeremy Menty.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Nice. And the question for you, wait, I question for you?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Is Brett Art your favorite player because your name is Brett?
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, of course, you know what.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm the favorite baseball player, not George Brett. Okay, maybe
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: so all right, yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: So that's the whole everything.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a question for you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: I've been thinking about this for a while actually wanted
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: to get your opinion on it. So obviously the league
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: would like to have more games to for you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: generate more more revenue for the league. If they said
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: that we have twenty twenty games, but each player can
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: only play seventeen, and that would allow, you know, the
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: players do not have to have so many games get
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: for injury. It would allow the league to have more games,
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: and I think it will allow a lot of interesting,
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: interesting ways to strategize on or we're going to play
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: we're going to play back this game, or we're gonna
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: wait and you know, play in the you know at
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: the end of the year kind of.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Not play amen.
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: So trying to get your idea on what that would be.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Like, that's that's a I've never heard of that before,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm I mean, that's that's different. But that you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I see some some positive things that could come out
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of that, because you also have to develop a quarterback.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: That's how you develop a quarterback right there, You put
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: them in a situation like that has to has to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: play because you get you you can't play your guy
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: every week. You know, I would see, you know, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: know what the league this is. This is the first
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: thing I thought of. The league would love that idea.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Until Thursday night football comes around and all these guys
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: are beat up from the week before, and like, you
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: know what, we're resting them. So now your Thursday game
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and there everyone's all excited because Josh Allen and the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills take on Joe Burrow and the Bengals on
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Thursday football Like now, now I actually know neither one
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of them are going to play in this game. Good
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: luck though, good luck with that being on CBS or whatever.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: The league would hate that, so that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But but it's it's an interesting concept, it really is. Yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Either I think we would make I think I'm gonna make.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Things a lot.
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: And uh my thoughts on the draft is we need
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: to get a center and put Tyler at left tackle
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: and basket guard and get a running back and I'm
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: big fat dt to clog up the middle.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well that's that's some three priorities right there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Uh for sure, I kind of I kind of think.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I still think Tyler Smith will be a better guard,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm more of a draft to tackle type because
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think I just don't think you're going to draft
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the guard high. So I think you have a better
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: chance to have more talent if you keep Tyler Smith
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: at guard and then draft a talented first round left tackle.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: See That's what I think, and then and then now
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you're having more first rounders there. That's sort of the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: way I see it, But who knows. All right, thanks
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: for the call, Brett, for the time appreciate that, and uh,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we've got a few more questions here for a text question,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So we're going to read these that we got Brian
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: from North Carolina. He says, Hey, Nick, longtime fan here
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: back from the Cowboys Weekly Days. Yep, that was wrote
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit on for that magazine. Anyways, we're looking
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: at the big picture correctly. How many teams can play
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: three players top or close to the top dollar per
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: position and compete. I think we should prioritize the deal
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and deal one of the three talk I think, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: guess you're talking about Micah, CD and Dak obtain some picks,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: create flexible cap, and continue to build via strength of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the draft thoughts, you're just gonna make me pick one
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: of the three, or you don't want to throw it
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: out there? Are you going to talk about the one
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that everyone seems to think should be the one to trade?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: That that sounds good, That that's probably in the that's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: probably in the category. The last caller on playing twenty
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: games and three three games, you have to set out
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like interesting, this is probably not gonna happen. I just
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think they're gonna
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: trade only one that's being that's that the fans have
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: ever talked about trading his mic And I just don't
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: think that that's gonna happen. Uh. I think you you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff and get in the draft and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: try to try to evaluate these guys and get you know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: get a steal of the draft, and you picked a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: guy twelfth overall that's arguably the best at his position.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: He has been got in the door in Michael Parsons,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and so now you want to trade him. I don't know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Just be careful with saying that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get the you know, some of the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: annoying things he'll do on social media and say and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: all that, and we've talked about maturity issues with him.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But I know this man when it when the Seattle's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: looking to drive and tie the game and you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the field on fourth down and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith can't even get back in his stance and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is right there and the play the game
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: is over like you just threw it away and the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: game's over. Like that's a difference maker. I know there
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: was a stat out there that he got most of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: his sacks, but it didn't matter and all that. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: not about sacks though that position is not about sacks
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all the time. I've said this numerous times. I'll say
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it again. There's a phrase out there about close only counts,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and what horseshoes and hand grenades and pass rush. It
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: counts if you got close to a sack. Okay, it
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't a sack. It's a pressure and the guy still
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: looking at his ear hole because you knocked him down
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and the game is over. That counts for something. So
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Micah parsons pressure. Leading the league in pressures is a thing,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and that matters too. So I'm not looking to trade
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: a difference maker like that. I need to tweak a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: few things here, you know, gett in his ear somebody
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that he you know, fully respects, maybe talk about the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: importance of leadership, talk about the teammates, all that kind
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I think he can get there. I'm not
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: looking to trade that. And then you're gonna pay for him. Yeah,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: if they take up a bulk of your cap, okay,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: because they're difference makers. So you got to build around
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: difference makers. I don't think that's the worst thing in
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the world. All right, Chris, have no idea. Who's on
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the line, is it? We have one Jonathan? Yeah, Jonathan
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Fulton California?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Got it?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Jonathan and Fulton, California. What's up?
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, Nick?
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: Because of going how are you good? Good first time caller? Uh?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: In the little week for Yeah, here I.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Go Now it's ficial.
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm just happy to be on this with my
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: second real attempt at trying to get on. So for
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: all you listeners out there who think you can't get on,
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: it's totally doable. Just keep trying.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Makes it. I feel like it makes it sound like
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, like you can do it out there, Okay,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: if you just if you just believe in yourself.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: You can get through, like exactly exactly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: I feel like I have a few things I want
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: to say, so I'll try and just say what I
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: can and let let the listeners in. Someone earlier talking
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: about like going to a bunch of live games and
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: myself am cursed. I've been to nine Dallas Cowboy games.
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: We lost every single time.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I choose the.
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: Bad games to go to. Like I was there for
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: the Chaz Green Atlanta game. I was there in Buffalo
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: last December. I thought that one's not gonna well, I
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: want to visit every single NFL stadium for a different
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: Cowboys game, and I thought for sure we would have
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: had it in Washington when I went a few years ago.
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: That was the Alex Smith for his leg game, and uh,
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: still managed to miss on that one. So I'm hoping
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: for if you have any tips on encouragement of breaking
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: this nine game curse, I'd love to hear that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, yeah, go to Carolina.
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: Carolina, That's been on my list.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Uh what's it called.
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: But then again, like I said, I thought we had
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: it against the Commanders and uh yeah, I got that
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: turned out. Another thing I wanted to mention, like, I
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: feel like the whole organization is going to keep hearing
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: media and fans and haters talk about the Jerry's all
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: in comments, and uh, I know everyone in the podcast
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: have been defending him and trying to clarify what he meant.
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: But I feel like the easier solution with Jerry himself,
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: just if you just said I shouldn't have said that,
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: then like that would totally shut all, Like it would
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: stop being a thing if he just said I shouldn't
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: have said that instead of us trying to redefine the
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: definition of the term that we all kind of use
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: in the same way. And yeah, because like I've only
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: been a fan for like I started watching in like
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: twenty to oh two thousand and eight, two thousand and
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: nine that time, so in the Tony Romo era, and
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: I haven't seen fans I've seen fans of, but this
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: is like the most upset I've seen them. And I've
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: been going to Oxnard, California for training camp for like
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: over a decade every year, and now, like I want
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: to go, but this is the least excited I want
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: to go, just because of everything that's going on. I'm
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: curious how they're going to spin this upcoming season to
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: give the fans hope and trying you know, I guess
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: to come in games and buy merchant stuff. And I'll
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: leave on that with a last minute question. Have you
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: ever been to Oxnard and tried the superior in and
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: out burger to what's that burger?
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: Thanks, I'll let you go, all right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: What? Uh?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think I even heard. I don't even know
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: why the last thing he said? What was he saying that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: He was saying about this most superior in and out
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: burger too.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's meant, oh yeah, well that's not even close.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And that's not even a thing. I mean, if anyone
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: is suggesting that in an out Burger is better than
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: waterburger Man, we need a concussion protocol for you from
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that one. I'm sorry. Now, now I'll say this, you
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: can maybe develop a bad habit out there in California
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: if you go to certain places that are pretty good
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: there too. You know that's that would be close. But no,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And and it has nothing to do with
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Waburger being a sponsor, because you know there's other sponsors.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I'm probably not gonna sit here and endoors, but wa
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Burger number one on that one. If that's where we're going, Sorry,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: in and out, no, thank you. I'll choose out on that.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: If there's a choice, I'll choose out. You know you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: said something about spinning. How the Cowboys are going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: spin this for hope, Like this is what we just
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: talked about in the previous call. Is this team lost
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: some key players, okay, and they're gonna have to figure
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that this out. We'll see, We'll see what happens. But
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's completely gutted. I mean that it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: still it's top heavy. It's got uh, you know, a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: quarterback coming back that that had a great season, you know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: closer an MVP. You've got ten Pro Bowlers, and of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: those ten, I mean, I I don't know. I'm trying
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to think how many of them are coming back. I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: don't I don't think you lost anybody that made the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Tyler Tyron Smith did not, so maybe I'm
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: missing someone there. But my point is that it's still
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: got some talent here. You got a lot of talent,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, you tweak some things. You change
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: your defensive coordinator that might that might help that. You know,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you got a really good defensive coordinator in here as well.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn was was good. But you know it it
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: kind of uh there towards the end. It kind of
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: flaked out a little bit in the playoff game for sure.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think, uh, you know, we'll see
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: if a change is good in that department and all that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: But I don't think this is a spin thing. I mean,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I think that the thing that you worry about is depth,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: because you did lose some core players from depth, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you know, are you going to be able to replace
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: them with the younger guys and the draft? And so
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: if you get a lot of injuries, you might be
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in trouble there. But I think, you know, if you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: can somewhat steer clear of some major injuries, you still
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: have a lot of really good players on the team.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Robin Vegas. Hey, Nick, Hey Rob,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: You know, I think Jerry's strategy of these I'm going
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: to play it out one year deal for the coaches
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: and so deck. I don't think that works today. I
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: think that worked maybe twenty years ago, maybe ten years ago.
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: But I just I just think the money is too great.
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: That may motivate the fringe guy, the special teams guy,
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: that's Bailey hanging out on Aura Truma ADLGA. But that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: going to get paid. That's already a multi millionaire, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: if Dallas doesn't pay him, somebody else is. It's fifty
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: five and up. So I just don't understand what he's
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: doing with that. Even the coaching staff. What coaches wanted
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: to come here, you know, who would uproot their family,
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: let's say for one year. The only guys you were
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: going to get is like a Zimmo, who I like.
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: I think Zimmo is a is a great candidate for
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: the DC, and I'm excited of him. But let's say
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: that he was retired. You know, he's an older guy.
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: You know what else was he going to be doing?
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: This was?
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: This is fun, This is exciting for him. But I
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: don't think you were going to get any young coaches
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: for a one year deal. I think I don't know
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: if this motivates Mike McCarthy anymore than what he would do.
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's I think Mike McCarthy's a very good coach,
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: but I don't think he's going to say, oh my god,
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: I got to sleep here now. I just so, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: just don't understand the one year the one year deal things,
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: and listen, go ahead.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean the one year deals. I mean,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: this is are you talking about with the coaches?
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: Well, with everybody, Like with Dak, we know what Dak
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: is gonna do. Dek is gonna Dak's a very good quarterback.
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: Dek is never Let's be honest, he's never sucked. He's
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: always been very good. So we're gonna pencil him in
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: for thirty something touchdowns, eight to ten interceptions. He'll he'll
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: beat the teams he's supposed to be. He will struggle
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: against the higher, you know, the better teams. Uh and
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: hopefully you know that's where he needs to get better.
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: And obviously the playoffs he definitely needs to get better.
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: But we know what he's gonna do. So if you're saying, Dak,
• 34:51
  Speaker 12: I'm going to ride it out and you basically have
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: to go to the NFC Championship to keep your job
• 34:58
  Speaker 12: here with the Cowboys, well then you you've got to
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: look for a new quarterback in the draft because the
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: odds are it's against it. You know, let's be honest.
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: So what happens if I don't know Michael Pennock is
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: there at twenty four, or the or the guy from
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: Oregon that I like, bow I forget his name.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Nick bow Nick.
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, what do you do?
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: If this is your mindset, that most likely we're not
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: going to pay him because you know, obviously the number
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: is astronomical and they're not comfortable with it, and he
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: would have to do something that hasn't been done in
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: thirty years. So I'm just saying they are against it. Right,
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: what do you do at twenty four if those guys
• 35:41
  Speaker 12: are there? Because we know that won't help us this year.
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: You know we need an offer to love. We know
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: what we need, but what do you do? I mean,
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: it just puts us in a bad spot. It puts
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: Mike McCarthy and a bad spot because he says to himself,
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: am I building the Cowboys for this season? Or my
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: building them when I'm not here? So I just think
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: I think Jerry just screwed this whole thing up. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: think me and a lot of fans are just confused.
• 36:09
  Speaker 12: Is we were really damn good last year. That's why
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: we're so mad because we saw how good we were,
• 36:16
  Speaker 12: especially at home with the crash and burn. It's like, okay,
• 36:20
  Speaker 12: we were mad, ready to set the Jerseys on fire.
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: But like you say, when you got yourself and you realize, okay,
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: you know what, we're there, we're a lot closer to
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: winning it than not winning it. But it's like now
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: Jerry's blowing it up, and I don't know. I think
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: that's what that is mostly confused, and that's why I
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: don't know. I just think it's a bad strategy. I
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: don't think it works there's too much money involved. Now
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: these guys are multi millionaires after one or two years,
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: so the pressure you're going to put on them isn't
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: the same like it was twenty years ago.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, good stuff, Rob, I'll address that here,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: but thanks for the call. As always got through. He
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: dropped earlier, but they got he came back. He got through.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You know, you talked about being confused about you know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: what is this what what is this? Blown? Is blown up?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: The team? Is it? Is it the last dance? Because
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: there's all these one year deals and and I'll say this, like, yeah,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it's confusing because the guys you're talking about confuse you,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: confuse us. You know, Like Dak is tough to evaluate,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you know, because he's had his moments where he is
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: really good like it, and it's like you said, it's
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: it's been more often than not. And he hasn't ever
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: been bad bad. You know, he's thrown some bad interceptions,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: had some bad games and things like that, but I mean,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you know, overall he's been he's been he's been really
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: good and then at times he's been outstanding and you
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: know you just think, yeah, like he could be the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: guy and he's your guy right now, so you want
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to keep him and keep this thing going. Same with
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the head coach. Has the head coach been good? Yeah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: he's changed, changed the culture here, changed what it was,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: got a lot more competitive. You know. The COVID year
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: was was bad. I mean that was that was tough
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: on everyone. He kind of had to. It was a
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: really tough year to be a first time coach, you know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and I mean a first year program, you know, with
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: with a new coach during the COVID and all that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: But the last three years has been he's been really good.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: He's got his team exactly where he needs to be
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs and then from there it obviously hasn't worked.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: But but that's that's the problem. Like when you evaluate Dak,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you evaluate McCarthy, you evaluate some of these other guys.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Other than even even Micah Parsons you evaluate him, there's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: there's there's a yeah but to almost everything. And that's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: what makes this thing tough. There's some people that want
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to throw the money at these guys and or extra
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: years on a contract, and then others that are like no,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: it's they're just not easy to evaluate because it's been
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a little up and down. It hasn't been absolutely perfect.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: You know, not every player is Zach Martin for the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: last nine years where you're like, yep, even he had
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a hold out last year. They had to figure that
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. But you know Tyron Smith up
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and up until last year, where he was just like, yep,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he's great, he's solid, don't worry about him. You don't
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: have a lot of those you got. You got guys
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: with a little bit of yeah, well I like him,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: but maybe this and that, and that's what makes it tough.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: And then this year in particular, it's where it's all
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: kind of seems like they're just right up against the fence.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Jeff in North Carolina. Jeff,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: what is up?
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: What's going on?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: I'm good man, I got im sitting here in the cart.
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: I got my mom when I took her to the doctors,
• 39:52
  Speaker 13: and he's on the way back. I said, well, I'm
• 39:54
  Speaker 13: gonna call my buddy Nick say hey mom, hey mom, oh.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: High I'm doing great. Good to have you on the show.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: This is just one eighth. Always makes me smile every time.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I just I just love I love the demeanor I
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: love the accent. I love it all.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: So that's what I would hope.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: So I would hope so too, especially when he's taking you,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: you know, take her shopping too, Jeff. You know, I mean,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: don't just take her buy her something good.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: All right, that's right, I need to I ain't.

• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I've been actually coached against even saying how you doing.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I was told not to say that, don't say doing,

  Speaker 1: sure waiting on my taxi come to come through, and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to change jobs here and you're like, you're.
• 44:42
  Speaker 14: Like exactly, yeah, Well they have to keep it to
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: a few short words, because that's what I do. I'll
• 44:50
  Speaker 14: just say, hey, how you doing.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, I'm paying.
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: Ugly, That's why I'm doing, and I'll move on with it.
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: And then I got a little suggestion just for the
• 44:58
  Speaker 14: office to keep it falling. And you know, you got
• 45:01
  Speaker 14: your wrestlers and you got your Man movie and all
• 45:03
  Speaker 14: that good stuff going on right now. So how about
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: let's do a crazy, not so crazy Thursday prediction and
• 45:12
  Speaker 14: just let people call in say stuff. But it has
• 45:14
  Speaker 14: to not be just completely crazy. It has to make
• 45:18
  Speaker 14: a little sense, you know what I mean. But I've
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: got us on, start us off, Randy, I've got one.
• 45:24
  Speaker 14: And I actually thought about this about a month ago
• 45:26
  Speaker 14: and I thought to myself, it's a little crazy. But
• 45:29
  Speaker 14: then about I don't know, sometime last week I heard
• 45:31
  Speaker 14: Keishawn Johnson on his show bring it up, and I
• 45:35
  Speaker 14: was like, well, maybe it's not so crazy. But I
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: think that possibly Jerry is gonna let Dak play out
• 45:44
  Speaker 14: his year without resigning so that they can clear the
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: books and they may be okay with the season not
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: doing so great. And here's the prediction. Why is that
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: gives them a reason to get a higher draft pick
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: or have a way of moving up in the draft
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: next year, and also clean house with quarterback and coach
• 46:07
  Speaker 14: and bring in your truly Dion Sanders and baby Deon
• 46:11
  Speaker 14: to be the quarterback. Now, I understand that he's all
• 46:15
  Speaker 14: about winning and he wants to get to the super Bowl.
• 46:18
  Speaker 14: But this, that's what I'm saying.
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: This is a crazy, not so crazy pradition.
• 46:23
  Speaker 14: But if the Joneses are also about the bottom line,
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: and can you imagine the TV time and the money
• 46:31
  Speaker 14: that would come from having Deon Sanders as a head
• 46:34
  Speaker 14: coach and his son as a quarterback.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: It would be nuts.
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: Whether you win or lose, it would be nuts. That's
• 46:42
  Speaker 14: about all I got for you, sir. Hey, I tell
• 46:44
  Speaker 14: you what. I wouldn't mind hearing Rob from Vegas the
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: Captain come in on that and also Ray from port Where,
• 46:52
  Speaker 14: because that guy is crazy. So he gets so intense
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: with what he's talking about sometimes that it almost seems
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: like he's gonna cry.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I know he has been, and he's
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: been calling for years. I really enjoy the fact that
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: he's started calling this show.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I've been lessening to you. I'm fifty. I was
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: born a Cowboy fan. That's where my name came from.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: Was Randy.
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: My dad's favorite player was Randy White. Yeah, there's your
• 47:18
  Speaker 14: player for the day.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: What about your favorite wrestler. Let's keep it going here.
• 47:22
  Speaker 14: I honestly I hope it doesn't upset you. But I
• 47:25
  Speaker 14: was never really a that's okay, I really.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Wasn't giving you the chance to say, Randy manchel Man Savage,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: that's all good.
• 47:31
  Speaker 14: Right, Well, I figured you were teaming me out for that,
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: but I didn't want to lie because I'm sure somebody
• 47:36
  Speaker 14: will hear this and go ah, he's full of it.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Well, Randy, this has been a great, a great call.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love a callback, man.
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: Hey, I'll try. It's hard for me too because I'm
• 47:46
  Speaker 14: out in the roads running, but I do not miss
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: the show. And I'll tell you what, I love it
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: when your own on hanging with the boys. Yeah, and Chris,
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: I think Chris is kind of an official part of
• 47:58
  Speaker 14: that show. I really think he is the fifth member
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: of that show. I know he works with all of them,
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: but it feels like he's part of that show.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well he's and and you.
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: Know Cowboy Break his boss man's on there. And I
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: don't want to.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Sit yeah, of course, of course not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm doing fine. Okay, Well, good glad glad to
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: hear that. All right, Randy, that's a good call right there.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I go to you know, I
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: go to Texas, Canada. You know, quite often I would
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: think or maybe not as off as I should. But
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I've been there a lot my whole life. I don't
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: see a lot of people like Randy running around there.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: They're talking like that. I wish if I if I
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: ran into more people like him, it would it would
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: be a lot more enjoyable. Nice city. Nothing wrong with
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: it again, my whole life. My dad grew up on
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: went to Texas High School on Texas side, my mom
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: went to Arkansas High School on the Arkansas side, and
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: they met a church together. So wouldn't be here without Textacana.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: But good stuff. A great call there by Randy. All right,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: let's go to Erwin in Denver.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Erwin, Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good?
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: No, really really how you doing? Like really? How you doing?
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: That's what That's what the last caller said, Like, what's
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: going on with you?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, just kind of relaxed a little bit today. It's
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: really nice up here, like in the mid seventies. Is
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: just kind of taking it easy and enjoin the weather today.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, that yeah, that proves my point there
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: from the Randy the last caller wanted me to like
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: dig in and ask questions and it led to weather.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: We don't talk weather on here, so I don't like
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: that idea anymore. Randy, We're not doing that. All right,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go erwin. What do you got.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Let's talk football, Let's talk football. So Nick, I just
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: wanted to touch a little bit on I think it
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: was robson Vegas.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: And he called correct, Yeah he did, He definitely did.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he was talking a little bit about you know,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: what happens with you know, if one of these quarterbacks
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: kind of falls into the into the Cowboys' laps.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I didn't answer that. Yeah, I do
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: have a thought on that.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you can't, but I just want to
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: touch a little bit and get your thoughts on it.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I'm actually, you know, back and forth on this. I
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: like that and everything, you know, but I think we
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: kind of all seen what he pretty much is, I believe,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: and at this point, really I'm kind of hopeful that
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: one of those quarterbacks do drop in our lap and
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: they kind of go for it, because you think about it,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: what do we.
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: Have to lose?
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, what if we catch lightning in the bottle?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: With one of these guys. You know, what are we
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: looking at last twenty six, twenty seven years? We really
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: haven't gone and done really a whole lot, and I'm
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: just kind of hoping that maybe one of these guys.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if the Cowboys would do that, you know,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: or they might stick while their board.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they say that they make decisions as a
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: as a collective group. I can tell you there'll be
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: one hand raised when anybody not okay with this. I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: think McCarthy would would lead that one. You know who,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: My whole season is depending on this. You know, my
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: job here is depending on having a great season. Now,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: draft a first round pick who's not gonna play. He's
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: not gonna like that, But then again, that's what we
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: talked about before, agendas. Here's what I think's gonna happen. Though,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: if a guy like that falls to twenty four, I
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: do think Jerry's gonna get on the phone and try
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to see if anybody wants this pick, and you're gonna
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: want it for a quarterback, You're probably gonna pay a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: little bit more for it. It's happened before, and so
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I could see the Cowboys adding picks that fourth rounder.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: That's that's empty right now. Maybe a higher second round
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: pick and a fourth and maybe more, or maybe a
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: player who knows. But I could see that happening if
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks fall.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, do you personally think it would be a
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: bad idea if they actually went with Michael Pennix, who's
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: really got an arm and can really run. I mean
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: he really doesn't run a whole lot, but he does
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: have to have that ability. Are you really opposed to
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: maybe not taking a quarterback?
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I would be opposed this year. I would be opposed.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And here's my reason why. And you argue this with me,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: My reason is it, and don't I don't. You don't
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: have to throw Aaron Rodgers at me or any quarterback
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: or Tom Brady's and all that stuff. All I'm saying
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: is is that if he was so special, he's not
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: going to twenty four. Now. They're always diamonds in the rough,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and Dak is one of them. I get that. I
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: totally understand that. My point is is that I think
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: you have a good team still, you have really good players,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: and you have a chance to compete. I'm not saying
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: this team is not going to compete. Give me a
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: player that can come in right away. Forget the guys
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: getting the snap, how about the guy snapping the ball.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: That's a difference maker. Give me a starter, plug and
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: play guy at twenty four, me a center to snap
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: it to day and block. I'm for that because I'm not.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not losing this year. I'm not. And if you
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to get a quarterback at twenty four, that take
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: it next year. If you need one, take your quarterback
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: next year. Because those guys that fall to the mid
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: twenties that happened, they're around every year. He's not a
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: generational quarterback. If he's going to fall to twenty four,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: does that mean he can't be great. No, of course not.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: He can be great. But I mean if he if
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: he's the chances are that he probably won't be or
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: he's not falling that far. That's that's my point. So
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: if you don't need a quarterback, draft when you need them,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: and if you want to take him in the twenties,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: then take him next year. If you're in the twenties.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I definitely agree with all that. I don't
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: think one of those guys are probably gonna fall to was,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: but I do agree with getting a top center for
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: US this year. Yes, I think they can do some
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: things with the left tackles and that left guard, but
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I really think getting the top nuts center is the
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: group would really help our offense in both passing and
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: especially the run game.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: Hundred agree because no other position can you draft at
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: twenty four other than kicker and punter, probably, but no
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: other position can you draft at twenty four, and you're
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna get the best guy at that You know,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: if you drafted a left tackle, you're probably getting the
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: fifth one. Quarterback you'd get about the fourth or fifth
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: running back. The running back you'd probably get the first.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to be that great.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: But I think if you get a center at twenty four,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to get a really, really good player. We've
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: seen it happen with Travis Frederick, so I would you know,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: no one liked that pick either, you know, but it
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: turned out to be a really really good pick. So
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: it's indeed, and there's a couple of really good ones.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I think you draft the center at twenty four. No,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna sell you a ton of jerseys. I
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: understand that, But he's probably gonna be starting for you
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: in the very first day and be there for a while.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: So that's what I would do.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, thanks w for taking my call.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: A good day, all right, thank you, Irwin. He was
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: also on our all storyline team. Well, uh he was.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: He's called a lot. Here comes a new first time caller,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Bryant in Newport News, Virginia.
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, what's us I've got through? Oh yes, I've made it.
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: I made it. Where's the sound?
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're like demanding it, Chris, They're like, come on now.
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly make an official Hey, okay, okay, Nick, I
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: have two questions. Well, one is a question and then
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: the other it's more of a story that I'm I'm
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: hoping that you can remember and corroborate with me because
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: I haven't found anybody to corroborate my memory as them yet.
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: But the first question is would you go with and
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: you just mentioned it on here, would you go with
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: a starting center or a working left tackle? So that
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: that's the first question, which uh uh, you know that
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: that starting center that you can get in the first round.
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: You have a left tackle there that you know he's
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: the first round though, but he may he may need
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: some work because he doesn't have a lot of experience.
• 56:13
  Speaker 6: And that's several of them that doesn't have a lot
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: of experience in college.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: Uh, but would you go at the center or the
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: left tackle. I'm the center.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: But I'm the center as well. Uh, center, I need
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: to I need I mean you can you can chip
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: on the outside and things like that with tackles and
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: and and there are some young guys that that they're
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: still they're hoping we'll develop center. If the guy gets
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: right through at center, it's probably going to be a sack,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think you got to you gotta
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: get that that base right down there. And I don't
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: think they've run the ball well really since they've had
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: a really good center. So I'm getting a center.
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: Hey, I'm with you. I'm with you. Okay. My next
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: story is Okay, it's Romo's rookie season. During a preseason game.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: At the end of the game, Romo throws this pass
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: I think it was to Winten on the one yard line.
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: He's running down the field. Bill Parcells is telling him
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: to spike the ball. Spike the ball. Romo is giving
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: the signal that he's gonna spike it, they get down
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: to the one yard line, Romo runs the ball into
• 57:25
  Speaker 6: the end zone and when they asked Bill Parcells about
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: it afterwards, Bill Parcells says, he knows that I told
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: him to spike the ball, and if he would not
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: have spiked, if he would have not have gotten into
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: the end zone, I would have cut him on the spot,
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: he said. But it took a lot of guts for
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: him to go into that end zone, so that saved him.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: So do you remember that or I haven't found anybody.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: To come to the right place. All right, Here's here's
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: the thing. That story is one of my favorite stories
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: in the history of me working here. Okay, that game
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: and when Romo they did a Football Life on him
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: in NFL Network, did it that that story wasn't on
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: there at all. You know, they focused on another next
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: year's pre season game against Seattle where Parcels started him
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: up there and you know all that, and that kind
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: of showed how much he really liked and all that.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: But I could promise you this, Okay, I'm just gonna
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: say this, the next time that you see a documentary
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: on Romo, that story will be in there. Just gonna
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: say it. I'm just gonna throw it out there. If
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: perhaps it's a deep blue, perhaps it's one this year,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I'll say this that that story will
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: be on there because you had just about all the
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: of the facts right on that. Okay, it's it was
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four, the second year, And let me
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: just set the stage a little bit there. Quincy Carter
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: had just been released like two weeks before that. That
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: stunned everybody. Now what's happening. Testa Verdi is your starter.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Now you've got Romo and Drew Henson. Drew Henson, they've
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: just given all this money to from baseball, three million
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: dollars to be the quarterback for the future. So he's
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And in those next two weeks after
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Quincy got cut, Romo was terrible in practice, like wasn't good,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't every day. It was just something and
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: it didn't It just wasn't working out. So the quarterback
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: situation wasn't really good. You got a forty year old
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: starter now in Testa Verdi, Henson's a baseball player trying
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. Romo hasn't looked any better, so
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: it's not going good. So they go to the Raiders
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: game and they're getting beat and it's late in the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: game and it's fourth down and whatever. Way back on
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: their own twenty and Romo throws an interception and I'm
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: standing on the sideline and I remember thinking right then
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: and there, Romo's gonna get cut, like he's he's gonna
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: get released after this, like you know, didn't play well,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: throw a pick, they lost whatever. And then there's a
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: flag on the play. Is this is true story? This
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: is exactly what happened. Flag on the play. I think
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: it was offside or a defensive holding. Automatic first down.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Cowboys keep the ball right did in there? Everything changed.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Romo did a dump off here for six yards, passed
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: it over here for twelve, scrambled a little bit, shovel
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: pass here, moved the ball down the field. The clock's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: running down. He throws it to a tight end named
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Sean Ryan, who catches it at the one. There's no
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: time out here, down by four, no field goal in play,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: down down by four, and Sean Ryan basically got knocked out. Okay,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: got knocked out. He barely they could pick him up
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: to just lay to just sit there at the line
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage and Romo's supposed to spike it. So they
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: have one play and he decides, like you said, to
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: sneak it in for a touchdown. And he said to
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: me one time, if I don't make that play, I'm
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: on a I'm on a bust back to Burlington, Wisconsin.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I know it. But but he did it. And Parcels's
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: word that he used was showed a little moxie, little
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: moxie on that on that play right there, And to me,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: that is when Tony Romo's career took off. And that's
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: where it began, right then and there. This guy has something.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but he's got something.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: And so, uh, I'll just tell you we are in
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: the works of a documentary with Romo, and I promise
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: you that story is going to be in there.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: I knew, I knew. I didn't remember this wrong.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, you know, it was a game in Oakland
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: and preseason, so if if it was if it happened
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: at midnight down here in Dallas, you know, I mean,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you it was a late game, you know,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: and it was in the Old Coliseum, which was you know,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: dark as hell, so you can't you can't see anything anyways,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, it wasn't It wasn't the great. It's
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: not gonna be the easiest story to tell, but we're
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. We're gonna tell it. So uh. Anyway,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up. Glad you brought that up,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: because that's that's going in. All right, all right, one
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: more caller here, let's go to Zach in Latvia. What's up?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: Nothing? Long day, brother, long day.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: How you been.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. All right, So you you are?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: You're usually called from Germany? Correct, but now you're in Latvia?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Am I saying that right?
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: Via? Correct? Yeah, I'm in I'm in Riga in my city.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Who do I know from? Who's famous from there? It's
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: not it's not Luca Is it.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: Is from That's what was?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Lucas from Slovenia. I think, all right, what
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: do you got man? What's going on?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: No, I got I got two things for you. Like
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: I said last time, I can't listen to the show live.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: So some of the stuff you might have already been asked,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: But no big deal to the two questions I had
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: one for the draft?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: Do you do you foresee maybe.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: A scenario where the Cowboys actually go best player available.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: Let's say it's not the tackle that we want or
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: not the center, but maybe one of these top end
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: wide receivers fall cold. You see them doing that as
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: it's a sneaky need.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do. I mean I think it is
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: a sneaky need. I think I think there's not many
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: positions that you would just completely dismiss. If it's the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: best player available, you could make a case for it.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's fair, that's fair. The second question I have
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: is it's a that question. I think it's a little
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: odd that they're not going to sign and I understand it,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: or maybe they will still early, but let's say they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: let this thing play out. Yeah, my question is, what's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: what's the advantage of doing that, right, because I know
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: fans are frustrated. I've been one of the frustrated fans
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: of myself. Yeah, but that price is not going to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: really come down much. One of two things are going
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: to happen, right, It's he's either going to ball out
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: or we miss the mark. Maybe it'll come down a
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: little bit. But I mean another team, if we let
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: him walk, you know which we really can't do because
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: we get nothing back from that, maybe you know, compensatory pick.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: But if we let him, if we let him walk,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, that's signaling that we're going to start fresh.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: But if we have to to sign him, you know,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: that doesn't help us this year by letting him play
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: out on the contract and he's gonna get paid anyway.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: I just want to hear your thoughts on it and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: see if I'm missing something there.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like like I said, it's it's not easy.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: You're not missing anything. It's it's uh, it's a they're
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: in a they're in a fork in the road. I mean,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: that's that's what it is. But but they can actually
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: they the fork in the road is a year down
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: the down the line, you know what I mean, And
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: they know it's coming, so they don't know exactly which
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: way to go with that. So what you're onto something there?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: And and I appreciate the call. Thank thank you so
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: much for calling. And then and we just added a
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: new country to the list there, so uh yeah, Chris,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: let's keep it. We'll keep them one more call. Uh,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: he's just asking me, well, we've got one more might
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: as well do that. But I'm gonna say this about
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Dak real quick. I just believe that, uh you know it.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: You ask what the advantage is. The advantages is just
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: getting one more year out of this and and and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: seeing what he's got. This is this is still the window.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I think the window is closed. I think it's closing.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: And I think this is this is a year with
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of talent still and you you know,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to still compete. So I think
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: it's just one more year to kind of see it through.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: If he balls out like you said, and it's to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: the point where they got to keep him, then they'll
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to keep him. And if if
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: this is the end of the line and it's time
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: to kind of move on, and you know, that's it.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the same with McCarthy really. I mean,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it feels like they've got a
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: really good coach and they got a good team and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: they can do something. And if it doesn't happen this year,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: then they'll probably make it a decision as well. So
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just I said this in the last show.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: It's just it's harder than you think. To just cut
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: ties and let things play out. You know, it's just
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: rare that you just go four years or five years
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: on the deal and then you just wake up one
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: day and like, oh, we got to make a decision
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: on this, Like no, no things, see later. I mean,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work like that because of shows like this
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and shows like all over the place. At all this talk.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're already talking about Micah's contract and he's
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: still got two years left on it. So nothing sneaks
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: up on you, and you just got to and then
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: when you don't do it, you don't make a deal.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to be the easiest thing
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: in the world to go through all season long knowing that,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: and they're not going to pay deck, you know. And
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: then and so what you know, is there any issues here?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: And every little argument here and there he stems from
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: he's frustrated because of the ownership, and like it's just
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: it's harder to do this stuff. So I think what
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is that I think this is
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: a rare situation. They can just play it out and
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: see what happens, and then after here we are in
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: a year, we'll know a little bit more about where
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: they should go and what they should do with Dak
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: and other positions as well. Okay, let's go last caller here.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do one more call. We got Champ in
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: the three oh eight. Where's the three oh eight?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: Eight?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Is Nebraska?
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: Nebraska? Look? Yes, sure, yes, sure state. I'm sorry, says state.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I've never been to. I've never been in Nebraska.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: You don't want to come here. There's not much. I'm
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: a misplaced Texan living up here, but this is home now.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if my Arkansas Razorbacks continue to
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: play well in baseball and they make it to the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, one one of these days,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I might go up there and try to see that.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Check that out.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, I stand corrected. If there's ever something to come to,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: it is a College World Series. I am a diehard
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: Texas tech tan and getting to see them in twenty fourteen,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: I believe it was the first year they made it
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: was amazing and I try to get up there for
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: the opening ceremonies. I tell everybody, you've got to come
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: to that one time in your life, and if your
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: team is in it, it's even a thousand times better.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Probably not not very cheap because it's it's last all
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: week long, so you keep winning.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: He keep saying, yeah, it could get expensive, but you know,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: you get general admission tickets and they're not too bad.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: You just got to sit in that sun, right, But
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: it's a great time.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Jimp, what do you got?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: So I've called on two or three times, and when
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I first called in, I didn't realize that we did
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: the wrestler thing. So I'm gonna set off with that,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: my wrestler all time favorite. I'm forty eight. I'll be
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: forty nine in May. I'm a carry von Erics, the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: von Erics from WCCW.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: That's my me.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: I love it, that's me. Yep, yes there, Yep.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: Corey was my absolute favorite. I love the story. I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: have yet to see the movie. I'm trying to wait
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: for the perfect time to watch the movie.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Yep, I'm almost I'm almost afraid to watch that movie.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: Iron Claw that same.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: I think that's part of me too. I don't want
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: it to ruin, don't mess it up. The legacy.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: And yes, and it's not gonna end well, I mean
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: they all died. I mean, like you know, I mean,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: so it's like, you know what's gonna be sad, but yeah,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna see it. I'm gonna check out. Talking about
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: the movie Iron Claw, the.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: One thing that I do have hope for is that
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: Kevin was very involved in it, and I don't think
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: he would have ruined his dad and his brother's legacy
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: for smeared it true. So all time favorite player, I've
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: actually kind of got like three of them. I grew
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: up with Danny white Man. When I was little, I
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: wanted to be Danny white In the nineties, I became
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: an Eric Williams fan. I played offensive line in high school.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: I never saw a man dominate somebody the way Eric
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Williams could dominate anybody. Reggie White, Rest and peace included.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: And then to Marcus Ware. I was a diehard to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: Marcus wear for I'm still am love the guy. I
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: love who he was, his story coming from Troy at
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: the time, just small school and now a Hall of Famer.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: So I also I called because I was listening to
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: Dylan the other day and I was I believe it
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: was Dylan who was talking about how people might see
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: dak in a few years if he left, and respect
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: is what he did for us. I don't disagree with
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: that one bit, but I think a lot of it
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: would have to also depend on what he did afterwards.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: You know Romo and Romo gone to Houston when we
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: released him. Would Cowboys fans hold him in that the
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: scene that they do now, there is there that respect
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: that Hey, who didn't go to the Texans, he didn't
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: go anywhere else, just retired.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: What do you think about it so well? What do
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: you think about DeMarcus Ware or Emmitt Smith? I mean,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: does that change? It didn't change for me.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: It did it for me, It did it. I hated
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: it because I love them so much, but it was
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: so different. I was extremely happy for DeMarcus and he
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: got a Super Bowl. I was disappointed he couldn't do
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: it with Dallas. But no, it did not change that.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: It's just these two guys, Romo and Dak. They have
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: the way to the world on their shoulders, and when
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: it doesn't go well for us, they get all the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: blame every time. So I don't know that somebody would
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: look at Dak personally. I would if Dak went and
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl somewhere as long as a time
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: with Washington Philadelphia or in the bag. I could probably
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: accept it, but I don't know that a lot of
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: fans could do that.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean yeah, it all depends on kind
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: of how things end up. But uh, you know, I think,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: you know, are you still an Andy White fan? I mean,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: are you still? I mean, like, you know, you're the
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: face of the franchise for you know, eight to ten years,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: like like Dak has been and you know still is
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I still think there's a respect factor there
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: that fanfull, you know, I mean. And also he's a
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: great guy. I mean he everyone, yeah, loves Dak, and
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: you know, he's a manager and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: So I think he's been classy this whole time and

  Speaker 3: pretty bad because I've the last three games that I've
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: been to, four games we've lost. They've all been away games.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: It was Denver two times and Kansas City. I want
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: to say there was one more I can't remember, but

• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: Where with our people. Yeah, those a long drive home
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: and dealing with fans and other places is rough when

• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean stop going to Kansas City in Denver.
• 1:13:20

• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: I would say Arizona, but I mean that's been that's
• 1:13:27

• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a little different. I mean, it's not
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: just about the actual stadium and the nuances and the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: crowd and all that. It's kind of like, you know,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: the city and how far the along the flight is
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: and what the press box view looks like in the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: press box food and all this kind of good stuff,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: you know, And I've always liked Arizona, but I mean
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I changed this year and in Carolina. Both those two
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: I liked them, but both of those two are out
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: for me. So I guess now, you know, I'm watching
