0:19
Speaker 1: What is up? Everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
0:24
Speaker 1: March twenty first, and this is a holiday to for
0:29
Speaker 1: most people around the world in sports. They love this day.
0:34
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's big on free agency, and I'm sure there's
0:36
Speaker 1: some big free agency news not really going on right
0:39
Speaker 1: now at the Star. Maybe a few things will happen
0:42
Speaker 1: here and there, but March Madness obviously is going around.
0:45
Speaker 1: You see a lot of people trying to, you know,
0:48
Speaker 1: fill out brackets and watch games and you know, probably
0:51
Speaker 1: watch their first basketball game of the whole season today.
0:54
Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's the fun of it. But that's
0:58
Speaker 1: not what you guys are want to talk about. You
1:00
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Cowboys, which I understand. Unfortunately
1:04
Speaker 1: this is not hasn't been a lot happening here in
1:07
Speaker 1: these last few days. But still we're always looking forward, looking, uh,
1:11
Speaker 1: looking towards the draft off season. I'm sure you guys
1:14
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions, so we're gonna get to it.
1:17
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of guys been holding for a while.
1:19
Speaker 1: Apologize for that. So let's get it going here. Paul
1:21
Speaker 1: is in Vancouver, Canada. What's up, man, Paul. I'm good.
1:27
Speaker 1: Thank you for holding as long as you did. I
1:29
Speaker 1: appreciate that.
1:31
Speaker 4: Oh, my brothers, I hope you and Chris are dentwell.
1:32
Speaker 1: We're good. What's on your mind?
1:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just wanted to kind of like, I value
1:37
Speaker 4: your opinion a lot, so I was wondering what your
1:39
Speaker 4: thoughts are on with the Cowboys and preegency, like like historically,
1:44
Speaker 4: because you remember when we went back years ago when
1:47
Speaker 4: first day of pre agency we signed Anthony Henry, Marco Rivera,
1:50
Speaker 4: and Jason Ferguson. I think that was a very mixed bag.
1:53
Speaker 4: Like Anthony Henry was a hit, Ferguson was up and down,
1:57
Speaker 4: and Rivera wasn't the same guy. He wasn't Green Bay.
2:01
Speaker 4: And then more recently, like guys like Cedric Thornton, we
2:04
Speaker 4: forget about him and Nolan Carroll. I think he played
2:07
Speaker 4: two games for us, but those guys kind of send
2:09
Speaker 4: us back because we had back on his rookie deal,
2:13
Speaker 4: and those guys just kind of, you know, affect your
2:16
Speaker 4: cap negatively. So I don't think freegency hasn't address I'm
2:19
Speaker 4: not saying don't sign anybody, but I'm okay with the
2:22
Speaker 4: Cowboys being cautious and not sacrificing their ability to sign
2:27
Speaker 4: core guys. So I'm kind of okay with what they're doing.
2:30
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get your thoughts on historically with
2:32
Speaker 4: free agency, like how it's you think a bit. I
2:36
Speaker 4: was hoping you can also touch on Sam Williams because
2:38
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of his. I think he's gonna
2:40
Speaker 4: have a big year and I do think he's a
2:42
Speaker 4: better run player than Fouler and Armstrong's. I want to
2:46
Speaker 4: see what you thought about that. And I really enjoy
2:49
Speaker 4: when you have Darren Woodson on one player. Uh yeah,
2:54
Speaker 4: he's the best. So when we talk about like our
2:57
Speaker 4: older players and dynasty years, we never really talk about
3:00
Speaker 4: Kevin Smith and you stick about all the guys he
3:03
Speaker 4: had to match up with back in the day, Like
3:04
Speaker 4: I'm kind of wondering why if you had any stories
3:06
Speaker 4: on him, and why he's never talked about like he was.
3:09
Speaker 4: I think he was one of our better players doc
3:11
Speaker 4: going to be. And yeah, all right, I just want
3:13
Speaker 4: thank you for taking my call. Thanks to make got
3:16
Speaker 4: out of the calls to get to and help talk again.
3:17
Speaker 1: To Thanks, Paul, appreciate that. A lot of good stuff there.
3:21
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. Free agency historically, you know, it
3:26
Speaker 1: hasn't been hasn't been great. There's been some you know,
3:29
Speaker 1: when I think of the best ones, I think of
3:31
Speaker 1: like getting Leroy Glover, you know, like two weeks into
3:36
Speaker 1: free agency when the price tag kind of went down.
3:38
Speaker 1: And I think they remember that too, and that's kind
3:40
Speaker 1: of what they're always hoping for, is you know, you
3:43
Speaker 1: get that steal once once the market is is drying
3:47
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and you know, it's it's a
3:48
Speaker 1: game of musical chairs for these veterans and you're sitting there.
3:51
Speaker 1: You don't want to be without a chair, you know, so,
3:55
Speaker 1: and I understand, I totally I get that. I think
3:58
Speaker 1: the biggest issue for me though, it's just like you're
4:03
Speaker 1: not getting your own guys resigned. I think everyone sort
4:06
Speaker 1: of understands that they're not going to go out and
4:08
Speaker 1: set the markets and get these guys, but it's it's
4:11
Speaker 1: not being able to just keep your own core players
4:14
Speaker 1: and watching them go out the door, watching them go
4:16
Speaker 1: to Washington. That's really what's happening. A team that that is,
4:21
Speaker 1: you know, they're thirty I think the Cowboys beat them
4:24
Speaker 1: by twenty eight and thirty five. You know, so four
4:27
Speaker 1: to five touchdowns better than Washington last season. But it
4:31
Speaker 1: looks like with dan Quinn and then some of the
4:33
Speaker 1: guys that they're they're bringing in that they're gonna you know,
4:37
Speaker 1: kind of close the gap a little bit. See what
4:38
Speaker 1: happens at quarterback for them too. They're gonna have a
4:41
Speaker 1: you know, a new quarterback and he's going to be
4:42
Speaker 1: a rookie and you know, we'll see how how good
4:45
Speaker 1: that is. But but that's kind of been the key
4:48
Speaker 1: there with with three agency this year is just not
4:50
Speaker 1: keep keeping your own guys. Sam Williams, Yeah, he's gonna
4:53
Speaker 1: have to to replace either you know, Fallor or Armstrong
4:57
Speaker 1: or both. I mean, he's gonna get a lot more
5:00
Speaker 1: playing time. He's got to be disciplined. I mean, that's
5:03
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, he doesn't get a lot of snaps,
5:05
Speaker 1: and when he's out there, it seems there's way too
5:08
Speaker 1: many penalties for the amount of snaps he gets. That's
5:10
Speaker 1: on special teams. Now he's gonna be playing a little
5:13
Speaker 1: bit more on defense. He's got to be disciplined with penalties.
5:16
Speaker 1: Got to be disciplined and run support. We know he can,
5:19
Speaker 1: you know, get off to the quarterback and make plays.
5:21
Speaker 1: He's just got to be smart, you know. You know
5:23
Speaker 1: there's guys like that. Randy Gregory was sort of that way.
5:26
Speaker 1: You know, when he was on, he was on, But
5:28
Speaker 1: he also had some issues sometimes with penalties. He'd hit, laid,
5:31
Speaker 1: he'd retaliate, things like that. He's got to be you know,
5:34
Speaker 1: mature as a as a player as well. And then
5:37
Speaker 1: as for Kevin Smith, you know, I didn't cover him
5:40
Speaker 1: a lot, but yeah, he was one of those guys
5:43
Speaker 1: that was a little overshadowed. And when he got hurt,
5:46
Speaker 1: you know, his injury in nineteen ninety five really opened
5:49
Speaker 1: the door even more for them to sign Deon Sanders
5:52
Speaker 1: that year. And you know, he came back from an
5:55
Speaker 1: achilles injury and him and Dion did play something together,
5:58
Speaker 1: but not a lot. But yeah, he was a really
6:00
Speaker 1: good cover corner, solid player, just first round draft picked,
6:04
Speaker 1: solid guy and uh and and I think underrated too.
6:08
Speaker 1: They called him pump Kevin Smith. All right, let's go
6:10
Speaker 1: to Michael. He's in Colton, California.
6:14
Speaker 5: Hey, what's going on? Nick Ay, shout out to you
6:17
Speaker 5: and and the producer Chris back there and the whole
6:21
Speaker 5: Cowboys storyline show Hey the other day right. Ever since
6:25
Speaker 5: the Cowboys lost in the playoffs, first round whatever, I
6:29
Speaker 5: have not listened to anything.
6:30
Speaker 1: Man.
6:31
Speaker 5: I was devastated. I was in my phillies. I'm not
6:33
Speaker 5: even gonna lie, but I turned it on and man,
6:37
Speaker 5: it was awesome. I heard, I heard your your all
6:39
Speaker 5: storyline team and I made an honorable mention. Man, I
6:43
Speaker 5: was smiling from year to years. So I just want
6:44
Speaker 5: to say thank you for that. Man. That was awesome.
6:47
Speaker 5: And uh, man, I think I can speak for a
6:49
Speaker 5: lot of people when I say we love your show, but.
6:52
Speaker 1: Appreciate that I appreciate. I think he actually made a
6:55
Speaker 1: third team. I think you're on on on the group
6:58
Speaker 1: if I okay it.
7:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, my name was mentioned saying hey, you know what
7:03
Speaker 5: I want to say, the Captain Rob Wild deserve man.
7:06
Speaker 5: That dude is awesome. I love to hear his his
7:08
Speaker 5: takes and all that when he talks. Man. But like
7:11
Speaker 5: I said, man, just thank you to the to you
7:12
Speaker 5: and the show man. You got an awesome show going. Yes, Sir,
7:16
Speaker 5: I told my wife about I thought she was gonna
7:18
Speaker 5: be happy for me. She said, you could sit on
7:21
Speaker 5: the phone waiting to talk to the Cowboys show, but
7:23
Speaker 5: you can't call for your doctor's appointment.
7:28
Speaker 1: I've been there, I know how that. Ye. Yeah, be careful,
7:32
Speaker 1: you do all that kind of stuff.
7:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, sir, But hey, I just I want to
7:37
Speaker 5: ask you, you know what, do you think it's nothing?
7:40
Speaker 4: Nothing?
7:41
Speaker 5: We we've been down this road before with the whole
7:43
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott conversation, but not even on that aspect. Just
7:46
Speaker 5: as far as business, do you think that one of
7:48
Speaker 5: these quarterbacks. I know it's not gonna be Caleb Williams
7:52
Speaker 5: or or or the guy from Jayden Daniels or or
7:55
Speaker 5: nothing like that, but if somebody slips, like and I
7:58
Speaker 5: think Michael Pinnix is a lot better than and then
8:00
Speaker 5: people are giving him credit for But do you think
8:02
Speaker 5: there's a chance that the Cowboys might might take one
8:05
Speaker 5: of those quarterbacks if they were to slip or anything,
8:08
Speaker 5: just for it, Like I said, the business aspect of
8:10
Speaker 5: the Prescott contract not being done, And.
8:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to do that. I mean you have
8:16
Speaker 1: to think that way. That's I don't think that's out
8:20
Speaker 1: of the question too. That's a good question. And Michael,
8:22
Speaker 1: thanks thanks for the call, you know, unless you had another.
8:26
Speaker 1: Did you have another call? Point?
8:28
Speaker 5: No, that's it. Thank you, sir, God bless you and
8:31
Speaker 5: the whole team over there.
8:32
Speaker 1: Man, you guys are awesome, all right, thank you, Michael,
8:33
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Uh no, I you know, that's that's interesting,
8:39
Speaker 1: you know. And you also got to remember Mike McCarthy
8:43
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. This is kind of what they did.
8:46
Speaker 1: You know, he was there when they drafted Aaron Rodgers.
8:50
Speaker 1: I believe. I think he was there in five. I
8:53
Speaker 1: think he was there and then he took over in
8:55
Speaker 1: six as the head coach. But definitely knows the story
8:58
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers being drafted when Brett Farther still on
9:00
Speaker 1: the team, and then Aaron Rodgers has the career he
9:04
Speaker 1: has and they go and they draft Jordan Love, you know,
9:07
Speaker 1: and while Aaron Rodgers is there. It doesn't sit well.
9:10
Speaker 1: It doesn't sit well with the first round. Wait, with
9:13
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, who's sitting here going, why don't you
9:17
Speaker 1: draft somebody that'll help me today and not someone that
9:21
Speaker 1: you know, I have to look over my shoulder at.
9:24
Speaker 1: I don't think it would happen in the first round.
9:27
Speaker 1: This is a team that doesn't have a lot of
9:28
Speaker 1: picks this year and they need these picks to hit
9:31
Speaker 1: so they can play well and compete. And it's a
9:36
Speaker 1: tough one because you know, you've got coaches and quarterbacks
9:40
Speaker 1: that on one year deals are like, let's let's win
9:42
Speaker 1: this thing. You know, let's give me some guys that
9:44
Speaker 1: can help. And then you've got ownership that's thinking maybe
9:46
Speaker 1: a little bit more big picture. So I'll say this,
9:50
Speaker 1: if a quarterback like that is falling, the Cowboys will
9:53
Speaker 1: be interested, maybe not to draft them themselves, but we'll
9:56
Speaker 1: see if anybody else wants to do that. They've done that.
9:59
Speaker 1: They've showed in the past a couple of times. Two
10:02
Speaker 1: thousand and four, I believe, two thousand and seven maybe
10:07
Speaker 1: when there was a quarterback sitting there, and the Cowboys
10:09
Speaker 1: will say, if you want them, trade us, you know
10:12
Speaker 1: this or this, and you can have them and we'll
10:15
Speaker 1: you know, and then they get a little bit more
10:17
Speaker 1: out of it. So they may be more of a
10:19
Speaker 1: player in that regard than actually drafting themselves. But I
10:22
Speaker 1: will say I think they would be. I mean, you could,
10:26
Speaker 1: you could say you draft a quarterback, but you know,
10:29
Speaker 1: if you're drafting a quarterback who's falling, You've got that
10:32
Speaker 1: in Trey Lance. You already have that guy. And so
10:36
Speaker 1: that's that's probably why you won't see a lot of
10:39
Speaker 1: quarterbacks or any quarterbacks really being taken, because there's jury
10:42
Speaker 1: is still. I mean, if this guy's falling to twenty one,
10:44
Speaker 1: I mean, how about the guy that went three overall? Right?
10:46
Speaker 1: I mean Trey Lance. So I think they feel like
10:49
Speaker 1: they have that guy in place if it's time to
10:52
Speaker 1: go that route. All right, Michael in Bowling Green, Kentucky's next,
10:56
Speaker 1: Hey man, good, how are you doing?
11:00
Speaker 6: Get them on vacation this week?
11:02
Speaker 1: Good?
11:04
Speaker 6: I've been I've been thinking about some stuff, you know,
11:07
Speaker 6: the Cowboys been doing, listening to the shows, listen to
11:10
Speaker 6: the people, and I say, how can I'm thinking, you know,
11:14
Speaker 6: we're we're still loaded. I mean, yeah, we lost some guys,
11:19
Speaker 6: but you know, maybe not you know, terrible so ones
11:25
Speaker 6: we lost, right, but uh, I mean the Cowboys are
11:28
Speaker 6: still pretty loaded. And you know they're gonna are they
11:32
Speaker 6: gonna get some comp picts for this for this draft
11:35
Speaker 6: from players they've lost, or that'd be for the next.
11:37
Speaker 1: They already have got those. They've got two. I think
11:40
Speaker 1: they got a fifth and a sixth, one for Dalton
11:42
Speaker 1: Scheltz and one for Connor McGovern. So they they they
11:47
Speaker 1: did receive two fifth and a sixth and next year
11:50
Speaker 1: they'll probably get and the maximum you can get is four,
11:53
Speaker 1: so they have a good chance to get four next
11:56
Speaker 1: year just by all the guys that they've lost. It
11:58
Speaker 1: depends on what they do the year, though.
12:01
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think I think with a good
12:04
Speaker 6: I mean I really really want that powers dude. I mean,
12:07
Speaker 6: I hope they get him in the first round. Yeah,
12:10
Speaker 6: but uh, I mean, I mean I think with a
12:13
Speaker 6: good draft, I mean, like I said, they're already loaded,
12:16
Speaker 6: they're still going to be competitive this year. Yeah, So
12:21
Speaker 6: I mean I'm not panting like you know, I know
12:23
Speaker 6: a lot of people are. But another thing I thought
12:26
Speaker 6: about was people, you know, people were like, yet, oh,
12:28
Speaker 6: Dak's gotta go. Well, you know, it's it's almost twenty
12:32
Speaker 6: years since we haven't had Dak Prescott or Tony Romo's quarterback,
12:38
Speaker 6: two franchise quarterbacks. So you know, a lot of people
12:43
Speaker 6: don't even remember or don't even think about having a
12:48
Speaker 6: not not having a franchise quarterback. So I mean, I
12:52
Speaker 6: think if if they if the Cowboys went, hey, we're
12:55
Speaker 6: going to get rid of Dak. We're going to put
12:58
Speaker 6: him out there on look, and it would be a
13:00
Speaker 6: frenzy of people of teams trying to get back. It
13:04
Speaker 6: would be crazy. Yeah, and then they get rid of McCarthy.
13:08
Speaker 6: McCarthy probably out of a job a couple of days.
13:11
Speaker 6: I mean, I just don't think people realize what they're
13:14
Speaker 6: asking for right now.
13:17
Speaker 1: They they they just look at Dak after eight years
13:21
Speaker 1: and think, well, he hasn't gotten the job done, so
13:24
Speaker 1: he can't. You know, it's not about that he won't
13:27
Speaker 1: or he just they feel like he can't. And I
13:30
Speaker 1: don't believe that way.
13:31
Speaker 2: I don't.
13:32
Speaker 1: Because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't happen. But
13:35
Speaker 1: I am a believer that he needs some help and
13:37
Speaker 1: it's not easy to do when he has a contract
13:40
Speaker 1: that takes up a lot of the salary cap and
13:42
Speaker 1: you have other players as well. That's what makes this tough.
13:46
Speaker 1: You want to have great players. These great players we
13:48
Speaker 1: put all over the wall here that you can't really see,
13:51
Speaker 1: but but I mean, you know we we this is
13:53
Speaker 1: on the marquee. This is this is what this team
13:55
Speaker 1: is about. It's it's superstars. Look at the jerseys, look
13:59
Speaker 1: you know in the stands. This is what it is.
14:01
Speaker 1: But those guys require big contracts and when when the
14:06
Speaker 1: you know, and I just Chris Beam just put something.
14:11
Speaker 1: I'm not This isn't Chris saying this. This is this
14:13
Speaker 1: is kind of what people have said, kind of in
14:14
Speaker 1: the building. You've got some players, you know that are
14:17
Speaker 1: in B B plus type players getting A plus money.
14:21
Speaker 1: That's that's the reality. And so what do you think?
14:24
Speaker 1: What do you think Michael Parsons thinks about Dorin Armstrong
14:27
Speaker 1: getting fifteen million a year? Like cool, thirty yeah, thirty
14:32
Speaker 1: forty five. I mean, Michael Parsons is you know, I
14:37
Speaker 1: think twice the player that dorn Armstrong is And that's
14:40
Speaker 1: not Yeah, of course of course he did that. That's
14:45
Speaker 1: the point. Now, that's that's that. Yes, that means that
14:50
Speaker 1: means that this guy's gonna get overpaid her. That's not
14:53
Speaker 1: even a work, but it should be. It should be.
14:55
Speaker 1: All right, Michael, appreciate it, thank you. Uh, let me
14:59
Speaker 1: get a couple of these text questions in here. This
15:02
Speaker 1: is Brian and Carson City, Nevada. And he says, Hey, Nick,
15:05
Speaker 1: I'm a first time texter. What do you think, Chris,
15:09
Speaker 1: first time Texter. Here we go. No, probably on the phone.
15:13
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you hang up. Call it rings again.
15:16
Speaker 1: He's on the phone. But I still think that's worthy
15:18
Speaker 1: of it. Here we go, all right, we won't know. Hey,
15:23
Speaker 1: this is a question. We won't know this. We won't
15:25
Speaker 1: know where this season will go until after the draft.
15:27
Speaker 1: There's a lot of offseason to go. Here's a fun question.
15:30
Speaker 1: Without injuries. Tell me what three former Cowboy players who
15:34
Speaker 1: retired early might have made it to the Hall of Fame.
15:39
Speaker 1: His examples are Sean Lee, that win if they had
15:43
Speaker 1: played long enough. I don't know about that win. He
15:45
Speaker 1: don't think he ever made it to a Pro Bowl.
15:48
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. I mean, yeah, Shawn Lee. Injuries for him,
15:54
Speaker 1: without a doubt. I mean that that that kind of
15:56
Speaker 1: that hurt him big time because he was that good
15:59
Speaker 1: of a player. He did everything that you wanted a
16:03
Speaker 1: player to be. I mean he studied the game inside
16:07
Speaker 1: and out. He did that from the moment he got here.
16:10
Speaker 1: He played with instincts and that helped him. You know,
16:13
Speaker 1: he wasn't the best athlete in the world, but you
16:15
Speaker 1: wouldn't know that. You know when he was healthy, because
16:18
Speaker 1: he is healthy, he played with his instincts. He was
16:20
Speaker 1: so quick to the ball. Yeah, I put him in
16:23
Speaker 1: that category for sure. Other guys injury wise that that
16:28
Speaker 1: kind of hurt them. I mean, this is somewhat of
16:33
Speaker 1: a stretch, but you could say, I'll say this, I'd
16:38
Speaker 1: like to see Tony Romo play three or four more years,
16:41
Speaker 1: you know, And that's nothing against Dak. I just we
16:44
Speaker 1: said this the other day. I think that Tony had
16:47
Speaker 1: really figured it out. I think he'd kind of figured
16:49
Speaker 1: out how to do this, what defenses were trying to
16:53
Speaker 1: do to him, and how he could beat them, and
16:56
Speaker 1: his body was failing him all at the same time.
16:59
Speaker 1: I think I think he could have been that guy
17:02
Speaker 1: that that, you know, he could have been. All he's
17:06
Speaker 1: got to do is win. I mean, I'll say all
17:07
Speaker 1: he's gotta do. But if he if he could have
17:09
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, he's in the Hall of Fame.
17:12
Speaker 1: I mean, if he went to Super Bowl. I've always
17:14
Speaker 1: said this, Tony Romo would have been considered one of
17:17
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the game, if not the best.
17:19
Speaker 1: It only took one for people to think that about Rogers.
17:23
Speaker 1: At one time, people thought that maybe about Breeze he
17:25
Speaker 1: would have been the same, especially the way he played,
17:28
Speaker 1: the way he you know, so I would have loved
17:30
Speaker 1: just seeing a few more years out of Tony. But obviously,
17:34
Speaker 1: you know with Daky that we wouldn't have been able
17:38
Speaker 1: to see him the same way. I'm sure that's a
17:41
Speaker 1: good question. Maybe if you know, maybe maybe that's one
17:43
Speaker 1: we can take over into next week or so. I'd
17:46
Speaker 1: like to see other people, you know, back in the
17:48
Speaker 1: seventies or something like that. You know that there might
17:51
Speaker 1: be some some other answers of guys that I can't
17:54
Speaker 1: really recall. The injuries sort of you know, hurt their career.
17:58
Speaker 1: They didn't, they didn't. They weren't the same for a
18:01
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame level type guy, you know, Dez just
18:06
Speaker 1: kind of you know, he just kind of wore down
18:08
Speaker 1: a little bit more than anything. Let me get another
18:10
Speaker 1: text question in here. This is from uh. This is
18:14
Speaker 1: from Zach in Atlanta. He says, I think Zimmer can
18:17
Speaker 1: develop Sam Williams and Mozzi Smith, which will help tremendously.
18:21
Speaker 1: Those two pieces can offset the departures we've had. It's
18:25
Speaker 1: old cowboys, Brady James, any stories or memories let's go
18:30
Speaker 1: back Sam Williams and Mozzi Smith. I mean, yeah, that's
18:34
Speaker 1: the goal. I mean, this is a third year for
18:35
Speaker 1: Sam Williams. He needs to be developed. I think Dan
18:38
Speaker 1: Quinn could have done that as well. Again, I've kind
18:40
Speaker 1: of mentioned it already in the show what I think
18:42
Speaker 1: Sam Williams needs to do to get better. He's got
18:45
Speaker 1: the tools, I mean, and he had the tools at all, miss.
18:48
Speaker 1: I mean, he he had the tools. Uh, he's just
18:50
Speaker 1: got to kind of put it together and and make,
18:54
Speaker 1: you know, make being a great football player number one.
18:57
Speaker 1: I mean, this has got to be number one for
18:59
Speaker 1: him to being being a great football player, not just
19:02
Speaker 1: to be out there, but but to be a really
19:04
Speaker 1: great player. And that's just maturity. And that's all players.
19:07
Speaker 1: I mean number eleven, Micah Parsons, same thing. I mean,
19:10
Speaker 1: he is a great player, but he's still he can
19:13
Speaker 1: mature in other ways. We all can, you know. I
19:15
Speaker 1: mean I'm on the you know, I'm a little south
19:17
Speaker 1: of fifty. I can mature too, you know. I mean
19:21
Speaker 1: sometimes a lot of ways I could do that, but
19:24
Speaker 1: we all can. This is not a knock on anyone.
19:26
Speaker 1: This is just how they take it to the next level.
19:28
Speaker 1: This is how, this is what needs to happen for
19:30
Speaker 1: them to get better, because since some players they've got
19:33
Speaker 1: all the things you need, you know, physically, they just
19:37
Speaker 1: need to kind of figure it out. We just said
19:38
Speaker 1: that about Romo. I mean Romo he kind of figured
19:41
Speaker 1: it out mentally and it just it just didn't really
19:44
Speaker 1: correlate with what his body was telling him at the
19:47
Speaker 1: same time. All right, let's go with Travis and san
19:51
Speaker 1: Antonio is next.
19:53
Speaker 7: I think, what's going on?
19:54
Speaker 1: How you doing?
19:55
Speaker 7: I'm doing good doing that. I've got apparently a better
19:58
Speaker 7: internet situation than you guys have going on, which is
20:01
Speaker 7: it's unfortunate. But I told Chris, I said, I know
20:03
Speaker 7: you guys are pros. You'll work through it.
20:05
Speaker 1: We are. This is in the middle of working through it.
20:08
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the call. I appreciate all the calls,
20:12
Speaker 1: but even today, more than anything, we need these calls
20:15
Speaker 1: to come through to make this show happen and that
20:17
Speaker 1: hopefully it won't sound or look like anything's different even
20:20
Speaker 1: though it is on the back end. There you go, Thanks,
20:23
Speaker 1: Where do you go?
20:25
Speaker 7: I just want to I know we talked on Tuesday,
20:28
Speaker 7: and I know you gave kind of your answer on
20:32
Speaker 7: like how you would do things different. And I guess
20:35
Speaker 7: the only thing I just wanted to clarify, Like the
20:37
Speaker 7: reason I'm thinking outside the box on some stuff is
20:40
Speaker 7: just because it's kind of like sometimes when Brian brought
20:42
Speaker 7: us talks about draft stuff, he's like he'll give who
20:45
Speaker 7: he thinks or like who he would draft and who
20:48
Speaker 7: he thinks the Cowboys are draft, and I guess I can't.
20:51
Speaker 7: I kind of coming from a spot of like I
20:53
Speaker 7: think they've told us, you know, this is how they're
20:56
Speaker 7: going to go about things based on like I said,
20:59
Speaker 7: if you're not going to be a big time player
21:00
Speaker 7: in free agency, and it hasn't like you said, if
21:03
Speaker 7: they haven't changed it, even though maybe it should, they
21:05
Speaker 7: haven't changed it. So this is what you got. So
21:07
Speaker 7: I guess I just want to like that's kind of
21:09
Speaker 7: where I come from them, like if you're not going
21:11
Speaker 7: to go that route, then we gotta then you gotta
21:14
Speaker 7: like pivot to something. And I was listening to one
21:17
Speaker 7: to five through the fans, so like I'm i gonna
21:19
Speaker 7: I'm gonna give them credit because I think it was
21:21
Speaker 7: Gavin that was talking about an interesting concept as far
21:25
Speaker 7: as like he thinks like sometimes the way he thinks,
21:29
Speaker 7: like Steven and Jerry look at this as it's kind
21:31
Speaker 7: of like a portfolio where they're gonna invest in their
21:34
Speaker 7: own and you know, you're gonna keep your portfolio healthy
21:38
Speaker 7: and you're gonna kind of live off the dividends. But
21:41
Speaker 7: you never actually there's never like a you know, you
21:43
Speaker 7: know how we act like a four one K. You
21:45
Speaker 7: can do aggressive investing, you can do kind of like
21:49
Speaker 7: you know, passive, and we've never really been There hasn't
21:53
Speaker 7: been that shift yet to the aggressive change. And I
21:56
Speaker 7: guess this is this is the first off season Nick, like,
22:00
Speaker 7: obviously I'm a hardcore fan because I'm calling in and
22:03
Speaker 7: you kind of mentioned that, but this is the first
22:05
Speaker 7: offseason where I do again, and not to blabor the point,
22:09
Speaker 7: but the whole all in thing, I think for some
22:11
Speaker 7: fans and even for me, it was a little bit
22:13
Speaker 7: patronizing because I know, like when we say all in,
22:16
Speaker 7: I know Stephen Jones knows what we need, like because
22:19
Speaker 7: he's commented on what the Rams did and he congratulate
22:22
Speaker 7: them like, yeah, you know, they did what they did,
22:24
Speaker 7: they got a championship and so he so it's not
22:27
Speaker 7: like they don't know what we're talking about. So I
22:29
Speaker 7: think when they say all in, it's just kind of
22:31
Speaker 7: like some fans like, then why are you saying it
22:33
Speaker 7: like that?
22:33
Speaker 1: Then, like Jerry, come on now and I and when
22:36
Speaker 1: we hang up here, I've got a text question here
22:38
Speaker 1: that I'm going to address about all in as well.
22:40
Speaker 1: But we need to stop saying they said it. They
22:45
Speaker 1: didn't say all in. Steven did not say that. Jerry
22:49
Speaker 1: said it. Jerry answered the question, and I'll get into
22:52
Speaker 1: the exact answer I'm going to. I'm going to break
22:55
Speaker 1: down the all in comment one more time. But you're right,
23:01
Speaker 1: I mean, Steven knows what all in it means. That's
23:05
Speaker 1: why he didn't say it.
23:06
Speaker 7: But but he did sort of say it because he
23:09
Speaker 7: said he said, like our version, he said, our version
23:12
Speaker 7: of it in the cliff that I saw him say,
23:14
Speaker 7: he said, our version of it is keeping our core intact, right, right,
23:19
Speaker 7: So that's without saying maybe without actually saying it, like
23:22
Speaker 7: that's a sneakier way of saying it. But he's saying,
23:24
Speaker 7: like this is our version of all in. But you know,
23:27
Speaker 7: I'm saying, like there's a different version of that.
23:28
Speaker 1: Like I think that it goes back to what I
23:32
Speaker 1: said before about a kid that that that doesn't appreciate
23:35
Speaker 1: the twelve toys that he already has. You know, he
23:37
Speaker 1: just wants the new one. So no one's going to
23:40
Speaker 1: get that excited when you say, guess what, they re
23:42
Speaker 1: signed Micah Parsons or they re signed DEC or they
23:45
Speaker 1: re signed CD. You're not going to get that excited.
23:47
Speaker 1: You're going to be like, what took so long? How
23:49
Speaker 1: much did he get? Cool? But you're not like, oh
23:52
Speaker 1: my god, thank you because you don't expect him to leave.
23:55
Speaker 1: But the reality is is that you know they could
23:58
Speaker 1: have got Ceedee Lamb at twenty for twenty five million
24:01
Speaker 1: maybe before the season started. Now he's gonna be maybe
24:05
Speaker 1: a thirty million dollar player. That's that happens.
24:08
Speaker 7: But you but you may not get the excited part
24:10
Speaker 7: of it, which I understand your point on that, but
24:12
Speaker 7: you also won't get the like the pissed off portion either.
24:16
Speaker 7: Like it's just being straight. It's just being straight with people.
24:18
Speaker 7: If you just be straight and just say, hey, this
24:20
Speaker 7: is our strategy, I understand some people might not like it,
24:23
Speaker 7: but okay, what we believe him? That would be a
24:25
Speaker 7: better answer.
24:26
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I appreciate the call Travis and
24:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on you too. All right, let me
24:31
Speaker 1: go to this next this question here. This was from
24:36
Speaker 1: Tom and Norman Norman, Oklahoma. I assume Tom. He says,
24:40
Speaker 1: can you address this part of Jerry Jones all in quote?
24:44
Speaker 1: We will push the hell out of it. It will
24:46
Speaker 1: be going all in on different people than you've done
24:50
Speaker 1: in the past. We will be going all in. I
24:53
Speaker 1: don't know where that quote's from. I'm not sure where
24:55
Speaker 1: that quote is from. I haven't seen that one that
25:01
Speaker 1: that that sounds a lot more aggressive. I know, I've
25:04
Speaker 1: never seen that quote. With the quote that I've seen
25:07
Speaker 1: that came out of the Senior Bowl was a question
25:11
Speaker 1: that was that that said, will you guys is this
25:15
Speaker 1: an all in type of season? And Jerry's response is,
25:19
Speaker 1: I would anticipate with with looking ahead to the key
25:23
Speaker 1: contracts we'd like to address, will be all in. We
25:27
Speaker 1: will be all in. This is what he says. I
25:30
Speaker 1: would anticipate we'll be all in at the end of
25:33
Speaker 1: this year. So that's the quote. I don't really know
25:39
Speaker 1: this other quote. So so we'll be all in. I
25:44
Speaker 1: you know, I've said this before. I really feel like,
25:47
Speaker 1: you know, with with the one year deals that they have,
25:49
Speaker 1: with the money that they're getting tied in, with the
25:52
Speaker 1: cloudy future that's ahead of dak this is kind of it.
25:55
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is the one where the
25:57
Speaker 1: windows closing, and this is this is the one that
26:00
Speaker 1: they feel like the chips have been pushed in now
26:02
Speaker 1: they're waiting on the cards. That's what this season is about.
26:06
Speaker 1: That's not what the way the fans took it. The
26:07
Speaker 1: fans took it that they're going to be trading for
26:10
Speaker 1: top players. They're going to be you know, maybe moving
26:14
Speaker 1: next year's one and moving up in the draft and
26:16
Speaker 1: getting you know, that's the way they took it. And uh,
26:18
Speaker 1: I think I think the Cowboys have always approached it
26:21
Speaker 1: as you know, this is all in for us. You know,
26:24
Speaker 1: we we've been all in for two or three years now,
26:27
Speaker 1: you know, two or three years of of of pushing
26:30
Speaker 1: these contracts like this. So it's it's unfortunate that that
26:34
Speaker 1: we're still talking about it, but you know, because fans
26:38
Speaker 1: not really going to drop it. That's that's the that's
26:41
Speaker 1: the reality of it. That's the version of all in
26:43
Speaker 1: that they have. All Right, Jeff in Salt Lake City, Utah,
26:48
Speaker 1: how you doing good. How you doing.
26:50
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right. I just wanted to chat with
26:53
Speaker 2: you a little bit. I like to I like how
26:56
Speaker 2: Brian always gives you an old player. Yeah, I wanted
26:59
Speaker 2: to wanted to talk to you, or wanted to ask
27:01
Speaker 2: you if you remember Derek Ross. I'm a big Ohio
27:04
Speaker 2: State fan, so yeah, I remember him coming out and
27:07
Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be a great player.
27:09
Speaker 2: But he flamed out pretty quick. And I can't remember why.
27:12
Speaker 2: I don't remember if that was a Parcels cut, But
27:15
Speaker 2: I just wanted your parcels.
27:17
Speaker 8: You remember that.
27:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this about parcels. He you know, he
27:22
Speaker 1: he had a different terminology on a lot of players.
27:25
Speaker 1: And you might be surprised by this, but he calls
27:28
Speaker 1: he called Derek Ross cute. He said he's a he's
27:31
Speaker 1: a cute player.
27:33
Speaker 2: Uh, I do remember that.
27:34
Speaker 1: I just think he liked, you know, he just he
27:38
Speaker 1: liked the tattoos, he liked his hair. You know, he
27:41
Speaker 1: just liked the way his personality had. He was kind
27:43
Speaker 1: of you know, he joked a lot a little bit.
27:46
Speaker 1: It just it just his demeanor. He was on him
27:48
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, he was on him. Uh,
27:51
Speaker 1: Derek Ross is probably one of those guys where would
27:54
Speaker 1: be in the top you know, one hundred of just
27:58
Speaker 1: straight talent, you know. But and I don't remember all
28:03
Speaker 1: of it either, you know, I don't remember kind of
28:07
Speaker 1: why it didn't always work out. But yeah, he had
28:10
Speaker 1: a kickoff return for a touchdown to start the game.
28:13
Speaker 1: They got called back for a penalty against Washington. He played,
28:19
Speaker 1: He played two or three years, right, Derek Cross.
28:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I remember correctly, he was a third round pick.
28:24
Speaker 2: And I know he got in uh late in the season,
28:27
Speaker 2: maybe a veteran got hurt, but I can't really remember.
28:30
Speaker 8: I thought he was super.
28:31
Speaker 2: Talented, and then next thing, you know, he was gone.
28:34
Speaker 2: So yeah, I figured that was just a Parcels thing.
28:37
Speaker 1: But no, but I'll say this though Parcels liked him.
28:40
Speaker 1: Parcels gave him chance. I mean, he definitely gave him,
28:43
Speaker 1: gave him a chance to play. He just yeah, he
28:47
Speaker 1: really liked Derek Ross. And I think he got five
28:49
Speaker 1: picks his first year, right, And now, Derrek Ross was
28:53
Speaker 1: was a draft pick in Campo's last year, oh two,
28:57
Speaker 1: So you're right, you're right, third round pick. I want
29:00
Speaker 1: to say he played in three or four seasons, you know,
29:06
Speaker 1: and so anyway, and.
29:07
Speaker 2: You're probably right, that was just kind of on my mind.
29:09
Speaker 2: But I called you Tuesday for the first time, and
29:11
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to come back to a little
29:14
Speaker 2: bit about my question. This one's more and I know,
29:17
Speaker 2: just listening to you beforehand talking about the all End thing.
29:21
Speaker 2: I'm one of those fans that I still kind of
29:23
Speaker 2: can't tend to get over that. I thought when Jerry
29:26
Speaker 2: said that, I was like, well, maybe this is the
29:28
Speaker 2: year and you talk about his version of all in
29:31
Speaker 2: maybe extending you know, our superstar players that we have,
29:35
Speaker 2: Dak Micah CD. I guess my question is and more
29:40
Speaker 2: of a player's perspective. We've heard Micah, you know, make
29:44
Speaker 2: comments on his podcast or in the media how you know,
29:48
Speaker 2: oh that, or we see him react to like signings
29:50
Speaker 2: in Philly or other teams with his perspective, Dak's perspective,
29:56
Speaker 2: you know, CD, the way that how competitive they are
30:00
Speaker 2: and if you were looking from their eyes on kind
30:02
Speaker 2: of what's taken place this offseason, all the players that
30:07
Speaker 2: we've lost, not really having any come in and I
30:10
Speaker 2: know we're still into free agency, we got the draft.
30:12
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think in their minds they
30:15
Speaker 2: could kind of be down on potentially wanting to resign here.
30:19
Speaker 2: Like for example, if you look at CD, Dax could
30:23
Speaker 2: be gone next year. I hope he's not. I'm a
30:25
Speaker 2: Dak supporter, but as a wide receiver, you want to
30:28
Speaker 2: play where you know that you have a pretty stable
30:30
Speaker 2: quarterback situation. So do you think what's taking place this
30:34
Speaker 2: offseason maybe a soft rebuild could potentially affect these guys
30:39
Speaker 2: on wanting to resign here. And I know in the NFL,
30:42
Speaker 2: if they want, if your team wants to keep you,
30:44
Speaker 2: they're going to keep you with the fifth year option
30:46
Speaker 2: and the franchise tag. I just wanted your thoughts on that,
30:51
Speaker 2: maybe from a player's perspective, just something that I've been
30:54
Speaker 2: kind of thinking about, Yeah, over the past couple of days.
30:57
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Jeff, this comes down to just you know,
31:00
Speaker 1: and you when someone hands you a piece of birthday cake,
31:02
Speaker 1: do you eat it? You know? Do you take it
31:04
Speaker 1: and you eat it? And that's it. I mean, I
31:07
Speaker 1: would love to see the other side of the coin
31:11
Speaker 1: and to see the faces of the people up there,
31:13
Speaker 1: you know that do the contracts if they said, you
31:15
Speaker 1: know what, we don't really like all the stuff that
31:18
Speaker 1: you guys have been doing or not doing in free agency.
31:20
Speaker 1: We don't really want to resign here, all the while
31:24
Speaker 1: knowing that the reason why that they're trying to push
31:26
Speaker 1: all this money that they've got to next year is
31:29
Speaker 1: also because they know they've got three huge contracts to sign.
31:32
Speaker 1: So what would it take. I mean, man, if CD
31:37
Speaker 1: and Micah were like, you know, we really don't like
31:39
Speaker 1: what's going on here, Well you want to go down
31:41
Speaker 1: to you want to go down to twenty million a
31:43
Speaker 1: year or you want to be the top top paid player.
31:46
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's my point, is that the reason
31:49
Speaker 1: why they're not doing a lot is because of these
31:52
Speaker 1: contracts that they know they have to do. Don't hold
31:54
Speaker 1: them against them the fact that they you know, they
31:57
Speaker 1: haven't done that.
31:57
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, No, no, spletely understand.
32:01
Speaker 1: So I don't think they would they would think that way.
32:03
Speaker 1: I think it would be it would be a quick
32:05
Speaker 1: conversation like why are we signing anyone because we're trying
32:08
Speaker 1: to give you thirty one million a year? Oh all
32:10
Speaker 1: right right, all right, well right, thanks, see you later.
32:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go work out. I mean, what else can
32:15
Speaker 1: you do and say? I mean, now, I don't think
32:17
Speaker 1: they would do that well.
32:19
Speaker 2: But and then like you said, you know, in regards
32:21
Speaker 2: to the front office, you know, CD is probably going
32:23
Speaker 2: to be one of the top three wide receivers paid,
32:25
Speaker 2: Micah potentially is going to be the top defensive player
32:28
Speaker 2: yeah paid in the NFL. So I completely understand on
32:32
Speaker 2: on on that portion. I just kind of a little
32:35
Speaker 2: thinking outside the box. I appreciate your perspective on that.
32:38
Speaker 2: I mean, it makes complete sense.
32:39
Speaker 1: I think I know what you're saying, is is that
32:43
Speaker 1: what what are we looking like here? I mean, because
32:46
Speaker 1: is this is this going to be a down year?
32:49
Speaker 1: Is this going? You know, are what what's what happens next?
32:53
Speaker 1: But I mean if that's the case, I mean, how
32:56
Speaker 1: do the Lions ever sign anyone? How does how did
32:59
Speaker 1: the tight ever signed? How did the Jaguars sign people?
33:01
Speaker 1: I'm talking about teams that traditionally just haven't had a
33:04
Speaker 1: lot of success. Money talks a lot and it's loud,
33:08
Speaker 1: so they and.
33:08
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I guess from what I'm what I'm seeing.
33:11
Speaker 2: You know, like Dak one of the most competitive quarterbacks
33:15
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Mike is a competitive freak. CD is
33:18
Speaker 2: a competitive freak. Yeah, I just I just want to know,
33:21
Speaker 2: and I know you can't answer for them, just like,
33:24
Speaker 2: what what are they thinking about seeing you know, all
33:26
Speaker 2: this all this turnover within the organization. So yeah, just
33:31
Speaker 2: you know, you know, I understand what you're.
33:33
Speaker 1: Saying, though, but but I think I think they they
33:36
Speaker 1: look at it like, all right, Sam Williams, let's go.
33:40
Speaker 1: You know, we lost Thorn, Tom Trunk, Sam Williams. I mean,
33:43
Speaker 1: Dak probably looks at brock Hoffman and says, there's no
33:47
Speaker 1: reason you can't be a guy. Just go TJ Bags.
33:50
Speaker 1: You know, if the drafts someone, they draft someone. I mean,
33:54
Speaker 1: I'm Dalen Tolbert for gallup.
33:57
Speaker 2: Right right, And I'm the internal optimist. I'm a lot
34:00
Speaker 2: like Jerry. I always think, no matter how many free
34:03
Speaker 2: agents or draft picks don't hit, they can always win.
34:07
Speaker 2: And they've shown us that the last three years. Yeah,
34:09
Speaker 2: if they stay healthy, they can win games. So I
34:12
Speaker 2: guess we'll just see how the rest of the offseason
34:14
Speaker 2: plays out and see what they do. So thanks Nick
34:16
Speaker 2: for taking my call.
34:17
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.
34:18
Speaker 1: No problem, all right, Jeff, appreciate that. Let me go
34:20
Speaker 1: to another text question here. He said, this is this
34:26
Speaker 1: is from Brent from Ingleside, Texas. He says about left
34:31
Speaker 1: tackle Mark two and a flos l Adams, Tyron Smith too.
34:35
Speaker 1: His first year left tackle was eighty six and he
34:38
Speaker 1: had flows out and Tyro until two thousand and four.
34:40
Speaker 1: That's almost forty years of pre dang good left tackle play.
34:44
Speaker 1: And other than a couple of years of Phil pos Derek,
34:47
Speaker 1: you had Pat Donovan and all Pro before that, Ralph
34:49
Speaker 1: Neely another offer. They have a rich left tackle history. Yeah,
34:55
Speaker 1: I was waiting for a question that is interesting. I
34:59
Speaker 1: mean when you think of it from that standpoint, I
35:01
Speaker 1: mean that you usually you usually have and that's a
35:05
Speaker 1: big spot, you know, I mean, it certainly is. And
35:07
Speaker 1: so you know they'll get another. They'll probably draft one.
35:11
Speaker 1: They may draft one in the first round. And if
35:13
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work out where they don't, they don't.
35:16
Speaker 1: May they get a trade offer that's just too good
35:18
Speaker 1: to pass up. Or maybe there's a player, you know,
35:21
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb type of player that you're just like, man,
35:23
Speaker 1: this is yeah, we can reach on this left tackle.
35:26
Speaker 1: And that's a question for you guys. Say they need
35:29
Speaker 1: to get a starting left tackle and they're sitting here
35:32
Speaker 1: at twenty you know, I guess they're at twenty four
35:36
Speaker 1: and they're sitting there and they have an opportunity to
35:39
Speaker 1: take a tackle that they have a second round great on.
35:42
Speaker 1: He probably can come in and be a starter at
35:45
Speaker 1: some point, or they can take this dynamic wide receiver
35:50
Speaker 1: or cornerback that they have in their top twelve and
35:54
Speaker 1: they think it's going to be an outstanding player. Well,
35:56
Speaker 1: what would you do? You stick to the board or
35:58
Speaker 1: do you go off off of knee? And so that's
36:02
Speaker 1: that could happen. I mean, it probably will happen, especially
36:04
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the way the draft is going
36:06
Speaker 1: to be. I think they're going to have more needs
36:09
Speaker 1: going into the draft than we've seen in a while.
36:12
Speaker 1: And this is what it looks right now. I don't
36:13
Speaker 1: see a lot of things changing here in the next
36:15
Speaker 1: few weeks from free agent standpoint. So I unfortunately they
36:19
Speaker 1: couldn't put as many band aids on these positions. I mean,
36:22
Speaker 1: you don't have really a starting running back and you
36:25
Speaker 1: don't have a center at least at least that you
36:28
Speaker 1: had you know that you feel comfortable about. You know,
36:30
Speaker 1: Rico Daddle obviously could can do it. Hoffman could do it,
36:33
Speaker 1: but at what level. So all right, let's go to
36:35
Speaker 1: the next caller is Wilson. He's in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
36:39
Speaker 9: Wilson, Hey, Nick, how you doing.
36:43
Speaker 1: I'd good?
36:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just got off work. Sorry, I give you
36:47
Speaker 9: a try. It was first time calling period and first
36:50
Speaker 9: few rings and Chris answers, so that was kind of surprising.
36:53
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, yeah this is kind of a
36:56
Speaker 1: different show. This is the show for first time callers.
36:58
Speaker 1: Love it? What do you got? Will oh?
37:00
Speaker 9: Nice?
37:00
Speaker 1: All right?
37:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, So first I just wanted to kind of mention
37:03
Speaker 9: I've been a fan for a long time and the
37:06
Speaker 9: first time I ever listened to dallascowboys dot com. I
37:08
Speaker 9: remember I was on my desktop computer when I remember
37:11
Speaker 9: Terrence Newman getting drafted and me just going to me
37:15
Speaker 9: just going to the website and just hearing you guys
37:17
Speaker 9: talk about it. I don't know if it was you,
37:18
Speaker 9: I can't remember who it was back then, but.
37:19
Speaker 1: I would hope, so, I mean I would hope that
37:22
Speaker 1: I was doing that twenty one years ago. I can't
37:24
Speaker 1: imagine that many people else doing it.
37:27
Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, I was really excited. I was really
37:31
Speaker 9: excited to like finally be able to like get in
37:34
Speaker 9: touch with the Cowboys in that kind of a way
37:35
Speaker 9: when I you know, discovered you guys on the internet.
37:38
Speaker 9: So anyways, but yeah, I've been listening to you guys
37:40
Speaker 9: ever since. I wanted to talk about Mike Zimmer real quick.
37:45
Speaker 9: So typically when we hire like coordinators in general, just
37:48
Speaker 9: every team in general, like, it's usually a present and
37:51
Speaker 9: a future kind of a signing. But with him just
37:53
Speaker 9: doing a one year deal, do you think he's going
37:56
Speaker 9: to have kind of a different approach coaching the defense? Well,
37:58
Speaker 9: he'd be do you think more aggressive? Well, he kind
38:01
Speaker 9: of played this. I mean, I guess he's always kind
38:03
Speaker 9: of been aggressive, But like I don't really know, Like
38:05
Speaker 9: I don't really know what to expect out of a
38:08
Speaker 9: coach who doesn't really know his future, you know what
38:10
Speaker 9: I mean.
38:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you were to play just a
38:14
Speaker 1: regular game of checkers with Mike Zimmer right here in March,
38:18
Speaker 1: I think he's going to try to win, I think
38:20
Speaker 1: he's gonna slam it down and be like king me.
38:22
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's I think he's like that,
38:25
Speaker 1: and that's checkers. That don't mean anything. So I think
38:28
Speaker 1: a one year deal, a ten year deal doesn't matter.
38:31
Speaker 1: I think he's an aggressive coach that's going to try
38:33
Speaker 1: to get after the quarterbacks ass That's what I believe
38:35
Speaker 1: is going to happen. And so I think I really
38:38
Speaker 1: don't think any of that stuff matters to him. He's
38:41
Speaker 1: trying to get back in the NFL, trying to prove
38:43
Speaker 1: he's had some you know, he's he had some personal
38:46
Speaker 1: issues with his family. He's went through a lot of stuff.
38:49
Speaker 1: I think he's back. It's all about football right now.
38:51
Speaker 1: I don't think it mattered if the contract said five
38:54
Speaker 1: years or one year or a month. I think he's
38:56
Speaker 1: going to give you everything he's got. That's Zimmer. That's
38:58
Speaker 1: who the guy he's always been, and so I don't
39:01
Speaker 1: think that really matters in this case. The question is
39:03
Speaker 1: not wrong for other people, but for Mike Zimmer and
39:07
Speaker 1: how he's built. I think I don't think the length
39:11
Speaker 1: of the contract matters. I think you're going to get
39:12
Speaker 1: an aggressive play calling, defensive coach.
39:16
Speaker 9: Great, And do you think he's going to use our
39:18
Speaker 9: players kind of like how Quinn did with like UH
39:23
Speaker 9: to each player's specialty, you know, like not trying to
39:26
Speaker 9: change each players game up too much, doing what works
39:29
Speaker 9: best for them what they're good at. Do you think
39:30
Speaker 9: he's that type of coach as well.
39:32
Speaker 1: I think he could be, but I think he's a
39:34
Speaker 1: little bit more of a of a this is the system.
39:37
Speaker 1: I mean, now now he's he's done some three four
39:40
Speaker 1: four three, he's done that kind of stuff. I hope not.
39:44
Speaker 1: I hope it's not. You know, I and I'll and
39:48
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I think I think where you're going
39:49
Speaker 1: to see a difference between Zimmer and dan Quinn is
39:54
Speaker 1: at linebacker, okay, because he I think the type of
39:59
Speaker 1: linebackers that we've seen that get passed over are the
40:02
Speaker 1: ones maybe a little bit older. They've lost a step
40:05
Speaker 1: or two. They're still good tackler, but they don't cover
40:09
Speaker 1: the past as much. Well, that's what Kendricks is, that guy,
40:14
Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys have kind of been looking
40:15
Speaker 1: at safeties to play this role. They get excited about
40:18
Speaker 1: linebackers that are undersized. On third and eight, they can
40:21
Speaker 1: go cover the tight end, but the problem is on
40:23
Speaker 1: first down they get blown up by the guard that
40:26
Speaker 1: hits the second level. I don't think Eric Kendrick is
40:29
Speaker 1: gonna get knocked off the ball a lot like that.
40:31
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest difference that I see so far
40:34
Speaker 1: without watching a practice is that the type of linebackers
40:38
Speaker 1: that Zimmer likes in his scheme and Quinn and his
40:40
Speaker 1: scheme is going to be a little bit different.
40:43
Speaker 9: All right, Well hear it, thanks man, appreciate thanks.
40:45
Speaker 1: For the call. Callback Again, we definitely want to hear
40:48
Speaker 1: you from you and Virginia Beach, Virginia. A lot of
40:51
Speaker 1: cowboy fans over there, for sure. A lot of cowboy
40:53
Speaker 1: fans in Germany. Zach in Germany. What's up?
40:58
Speaker 4: Hey?
40:59
Speaker 1: Nick's going? Man? Good?
41:00
Speaker 8: How are you good?
41:02
Speaker 4: Good?
41:02
Speaker 8: Sorry, I'm trying to call in past couple of days,
41:04
Speaker 8: but my timing was off.
41:05
Speaker 7: So that okay, Yeah, no problem, I should be saying.
41:11
Speaker 8: It's exact from the practice squad. Didn't make the cut,
41:13
Speaker 8: but we're still on the teams.
41:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's okay. You know, we need we need
41:18
Speaker 1: uh we definitely, I mean, still got to have a
41:20
Speaker 1: roster for sure. So with roster practice squad, and there's
41:24
Speaker 1: always always next year, uh for sure. Now I did
41:28
Speaker 1: put Reggie from Germany.
41:31
Speaker 8: No, I got I gotta beat out Reggie now itself.
41:34
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, And that's that's the thing, like
41:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't. I didn't actually have a
41:39
Speaker 1: math formula to it. But I mean six calls from Germany,
41:43
Speaker 1: you know that that equaled at least like ten to
41:46
Speaker 1: twelve from you know, just regular calls. So I gave
41:51
Speaker 1: a little more leeway to the people that called, you know, regularly,
41:54
Speaker 1: you know, regular callers from out of the country. We have,
41:57
Speaker 1: We've had two so.
42:00
Speaker 8: Oh, okay, I'm not listening live unfortunately, so I usually
42:03
Speaker 8: have to listen the following day. Actually, I guess we're
42:06
Speaker 8: on this subject. Do you know how many callers you've
42:08
Speaker 8: had from outside the country?
42:10
Speaker 1: Yes, I do know, good, but but I don't have
42:15
Speaker 1: the spreadsheet in front of me.
42:17
Speaker 4: I don't, no worries.
42:18
Speaker 1: I would guess outside of the different callers from outside
42:24
Speaker 1: the country, I would guess fifteen to twenty.
42:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's different, good numbers.
42:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe about twenty. Yeah.
42:34
Speaker 8: So anyways, I'll try to keep I'll try to keep
42:37
Speaker 8: on his toes.
42:38
Speaker 1: Yeah problem. Yeah, he moves around, so you know he's
42:41
Speaker 1: kind of tough. But uh, all right, what do you got, Zach?
42:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, no problem. A couple of things. So the first
42:47
Speaker 8: one is really when you look at the Free Agency
42:51
Speaker 8: and the draft and building a team three sixty five process.
42:55
Speaker 8: The I think the issue I have and many fans
42:58
Speaker 8: have is sometimes the which the Cowboys take is almost
43:02
Speaker 8: like not rostering or playing one element of your game right,
43:07
Speaker 8: so you have an offensive defense in special teams if
43:09
Speaker 8: we don't participate and try to truly try to get
43:12
Speaker 8: better in free agency bringing in some guys and I
43:15
Speaker 8: get this year cap things like that, but I mean
43:18
Speaker 8: this is going a rhythm with the Cowboys where we
43:20
Speaker 8: sit out in the first two leagues. We signed some
43:23
Speaker 8: backup players and we draft well. But when you look
43:25
Speaker 8: at other teams that are focused on bringing in free
43:30
Speaker 8: agent talent, good free agent talent, those teams also have
43:33
Speaker 8: draft picks just like us. And what's happened, I think
43:36
Speaker 8: is in some instances when we don't address free agency
43:40
Speaker 8: properly and maybe bring in a big name here and there,
43:44
Speaker 8: you go into the draft and now you're going to
43:45
Speaker 8: pigeonhole yourself. And I'll use this year's draft our offensive line.
43:49
Speaker 8: Two key positions, probably the two most important positions on
43:52
Speaker 8: the offensive line. Your center and your left tackle are
43:55
Speaker 8: both needs. And now what's going to happen since we
43:58
Speaker 8: picked later, we tend to pick. We're between pick eighteen
44:01
Speaker 8: and the back half. You know you're gonna have teams
44:04
Speaker 8: that are gonna jump in front of us because they
44:06
Speaker 8: know Cowboys have to take these one or two positions.
44:09
Speaker 8: Last year, happened with Dalton Kincaid. It's happened in the
44:12
Speaker 8: past where teams will jump in front of us because
44:14
Speaker 8: they know, ay, the Cowboys have to go after this pick.
44:17
Speaker 8: So I wanted to hear your response on that before
44:19
Speaker 8: I hang up. One one other comment since the draft season,
44:24
Speaker 8: do you have any former draft draft picks that you
44:29
Speaker 8: wish the Cowboys made? So, for example, I'll use obviously
44:33
Speaker 8: everybody was gonna use Taco and TJ.
44:34
Speaker 4: Watt. That's a big one.
44:35
Speaker 8: But way back in the day, instead of taking Julius
44:38
Speaker 8: Julius Jones, I wish we would have taken Stephen Jackson.
44:40
Speaker 8: See what your thoughts are and I'll hang up with us.
44:44
Speaker 1: Was Steven, Yeah, Stephen Jackson. That was two thousand and four.
44:51
Speaker 1: You know the thing about that is that pick by
44:53
Speaker 1: not taking a pick right there they took they got
44:58
Speaker 1: another pick in the two thousand and five they taking
45:00
Speaker 1: Marcus Spears with that second pick there. Yeah, I mean
45:06
Speaker 1: you could go go on and on. I mean, I
45:09
Speaker 1: definitely remember wanting them to take Devin Hester. I I
45:15
Speaker 1: was thinking that that would be a difference maker type pick.
45:17
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly the player that they took instead.
45:20
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm wrong sometimes too, because I
45:23
Speaker 1: did not like the DeMarcus war pick. I thought Derek
45:26
Speaker 1: Johnson would have been a way better pick. He was
45:28
Speaker 1: a linebacker at Texas. He had a decent career. I
45:32
Speaker 1: think he had some injuries, and he's not in Hall
45:34
Speaker 1: of Fame. I know that, And so you know, that's
45:38
Speaker 1: maybe one of the first times I realized that, you know,
45:40
Speaker 1: let me just kind of talk about it and lets
45:42
Speaker 1: y'all y'all do the drafting, you know now. I I
45:46
Speaker 1: definitely remember the day before the draft saying the guy
45:49
Speaker 1: I would take, I would not take one of these corners.
45:51
Speaker 1: I would take Mikeah Parsons. I said that. I definitely
45:56
Speaker 1: thought Michael Parsons would have was the best player to
45:58
Speaker 1: take at the eighth pick. I think that's where they were,
46:02
Speaker 1: or they were the tenth pick. The move to twelfth.
46:06
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes you just have a feel for it,
46:08
Speaker 1: and you have a feel for you know, what you know,
46:10
Speaker 1: and sometimes just by looking at the tape. You know,
46:13
Speaker 1: we watch YouTube highlights. You don't always see the bad tape.
46:15
Speaker 1: You just see the tape. So you know, it's tough
46:18
Speaker 1: that these guys that are great in these players, they've
46:20
Speaker 1: done it for two years now. You know, they've looked
46:22
Speaker 1: at them sophomore, junior, you know, if senior, if they
46:25
Speaker 1: go into the senior year. So they've been looking at
46:27
Speaker 1: them for two or three years. They have a much
46:29
Speaker 1: better idea than any of us that just watch a
46:31
Speaker 1: few highlights here and there. And as for the approach,
46:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. I mean, like
46:38
Speaker 1: you know this this this approach is. You know, the
46:42
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a lot of good players. They've drafted well,
46:44
Speaker 1: they're good players. They demand a lot of money, and
46:47
Speaker 1: that's kind of been there. What they do is they
46:50
Speaker 1: re sign their own guys and they try to keep
46:53
Speaker 1: you know, facilitating the roster by drafting other good players.
46:57
Speaker 1: I think that if you're going to have a lot
46:58
Speaker 1: of money in free agency, you know you're you're probably
47:02
Speaker 1: missing on a lot more of these draft picks than
47:05
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have. And that's that's the issue.
47:07
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are drafting, well, uh, they didn't so much
47:11
Speaker 1: last year, but they have in the last fifteen years,
47:14
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of when they get the free agency,
47:16
Speaker 1: they're like, what, we don't We don't want to overpay
47:20
Speaker 1: for this guy that you don't even want either, So
47:23
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep doing it through the draft. And so
47:25
Speaker 1: it's just that month of March that frustrates the fans
47:27
Speaker 1: because it looks like they're not doing anything but signing
47:29
Speaker 1: their own guys. And you know, that's that's the way
47:32
Speaker 1: it is, all right. I think we are out of callers.
47:38
Speaker 1: Phone line is open at the time right now. Eight
47:42
Speaker 1: A eight eight five five two to nine seven. And
47:45
Speaker 1: I think I've read all of my questions as well, Chris,
47:49
Speaker 1: are you with me? I am open line right now. Yes,
47:55
Speaker 1: it's been one of those days, man, it's been one
47:57
Speaker 1: of those, like two days. I think back in the
48:00
Speaker 1: back back there, just trying to piece all this together.
48:04
Speaker 1: So but if Jeff.
48:06
Speaker 3: Organ had a question, and do you want to take
48:07
Speaker 3: that one?
48:08
Speaker 1: He was in between Okay, yeah, there that one there
48:11
Speaker 1: it is Jeff and Oregon text question. Yeah, kind of
48:14
Speaker 1: got sandwiched in between these other two big questions all right. Uh,
48:18
Speaker 1: actually no, I don't want.
48:19
Speaker 3: To take you don't want to take that one, Okay,
48:21
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure.
48:24
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's.
48:25
Speaker 3: Like everybody wants to do that.
48:26
Speaker 1: I know.
48:27
Speaker 3: I think it's a dumb idea.
48:29
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what Chris's opinion is. Stuff they should trade.
48:33
Speaker 1: Micah parsons, we need the draft capital. It would get
48:37
Speaker 1: us a real It would get us a real defensive
48:40
Speaker 1: end and much more this year and next. What do
48:42
Speaker 1: you think, okay, was this? It would get us a
48:46
Speaker 1: real defensive end. I mean, what do you what do
48:48
Speaker 1: you want? Like a real like like Dante Fowler. You
48:51
Speaker 1: want like a real defensive end, you know, or an
48:54
Speaker 1: Armstrong or even a Sam Williams if there's that. I mean,
48:57
Speaker 1: like you don't like this hybrid. Maybe he's the linebacker,
49:00
Speaker 1: maybe part time linebacker, part time in always a badass,
49:05
Speaker 1: you know, Like I mean, I don't know about that, okay.
49:09
Speaker 1: But from a business standpoint, you know, guys get traded.
49:12
Speaker 1: I mean, Khalil Mack got traded a couple of years ago.
49:14
Speaker 1: He got a lot for him. I mean, guys get
49:17
Speaker 1: traded for a lot of picks. And that's what the
49:20
Speaker 1: Cowboys have to decide if that's if that's the most
49:23
Speaker 1: important thing to get draft capital to not have to
49:27
Speaker 1: pay that big contract. See that's that right there, goes
49:30
Speaker 1: back to the caller before that says, why don't we
49:35
Speaker 1: have money in free agency? You know they're drafting too.
49:38
Speaker 1: What the problem is is that it's not really a problem.
49:41
Speaker 1: It's just a strategy. Some people are getting rid of
49:46
Speaker 1: certain players before they have to really pay them. They
49:49
Speaker 1: don't want those big contracts. They don't want to have
49:52
Speaker 1: to give out that kind of you know, actual money.
49:55
Speaker 1: And that's not Ben Jerry's approach. Jerry thinks if he's
50:00
Speaker 1: got a guy like Micah Parsons, you need to keep him.
50:03
Speaker 1: And uh so that's why I don't see him being traded.
50:05
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't remember the last time
50:08
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ever really done that. I mean, you can
50:10
Speaker 1: make the case, you can make the case for Mari Cooper,
50:13
Speaker 1: but Mari was not really young. I mean, he was
50:17
Speaker 1: still kind of in the middle of his career. And
50:19
Speaker 1: and you know that was one that and they didn't
50:22
Speaker 1: get a lot for him either. I got a fifth
50:24
Speaker 1: round pick. So but you know, as far as trading
50:27
Speaker 1: someone early before a really big contract like that, basically
50:31
Speaker 1: just giving up on him. And you know, I don't
50:34
Speaker 1: I don't think that way. I mean, you don't usually
50:38
Speaker 1: go into the NFL and just dominate, you know, that
50:42
Speaker 1: just doesn't really happen. You don't see a lot of
50:44
Speaker 1: first team All pro as a rookie. What you do
50:49
Speaker 1: see a lot of are guys at any level, at
50:53
Speaker 1: any sport, at any job, that come into their profession
50:58
Speaker 1: at twenty one or twenty two, twenty three and they
51:00
Speaker 1: think they've got it all figured out. You know, they're
51:03
Speaker 1: they're good, and they know it and they've got it
51:05
Speaker 1: figured out, and they get humbled a little bit and
51:08
Speaker 1: they kind of understand, you know, how to act with
51:11
Speaker 1: around others and how to sort of grow up a
51:13
Speaker 1: little bit and and and there's a way to do
51:16
Speaker 1: this and do it well and also get along with everyone.
51:19
Speaker 1: That happens a lot in a lot of different jobs,
51:22
Speaker 1: in a lot of different areas and spaces. And so
51:26
Speaker 1: if you take the player that can dominate early and
51:30
Speaker 1: also the fact of maybe a guy that's going to
51:33
Speaker 1: grow up a little bit more, what kind of combination
51:36
Speaker 1: could you have there? And so what I'm really getting
51:39
Speaker 1: at here is that it's a lot. I think it's
51:43
Speaker 1: it's a lot more common to have a player that
51:45
Speaker 1: grows up right in front of you and can and
51:48
Speaker 1: can maybe not be as annoying as he is to
51:50
Speaker 1: certain fans. It's easier to find that person and for
51:54
Speaker 1: that to happen than to draft a guy that's dominating
51:57
Speaker 1: the NFL in year one. So you want your draft capital, sure,
52:03
Speaker 1: trade him for draft capital to try to duplicate that
52:06
Speaker 1: as well. I don't think Michael Parsons is a lost cause.
52:10
Speaker 1: I think his mentality is one where you know, he's
52:14
Speaker 1: he's arrogant. He's very confident in what he can do,
52:16
Speaker 1: and he should be. He's been really good from the start.
52:19
Speaker 1: I think he'll continue to grow in that area. Coupled
52:22
Speaker 1: with the fact that I think he'll he'll grow as
52:24
Speaker 1: a player as well, I'd rather have that guy for sure.
52:27
Speaker 3: So all right, Oh, by the way, for your Devin
52:30
Speaker 3: Hester question, Yeah, Cowboys picked Anthony and Fazano three picks
52:35
Speaker 3: ahead of him tight end. Yeah, that was the Bobby
52:39
Speaker 3: Carpenter draft two thousand and six. Yeah, so Carpenter in
52:43
Speaker 3: the first round, Fessano in the second, and then Hester
52:47
Speaker 3: went fifty seventh overall. I think fifty seventh over all
52:53
Speaker 3: to Chicago Cowboys. Fifty three got Fessano, tight end out.
53:00
Speaker 1: That's not gonna That wasn't gonna happen for a couple
53:02
Speaker 1: of reasons. Yeah, it's easy to look back at this
53:05
Speaker 1: now and be like, yeah, Hester, you know, a gold
53:09
Speaker 1: jacket guy. Bill Parcells is not gonna draft Devin Hester
53:15
Speaker 1: as a kick returner in the second round of a draft,
53:19
Speaker 1: especially when he can take Anthony Fasano. And he probably
53:24
Speaker 1: misspelled his name and spelled it Bivarro because that's what
53:28
Speaker 1: he was hoping he was gonna get was a tight
53:31
Speaker 1: end named Mark Bavarro who he had and was awesome
53:34
Speaker 1: for him with the Giants, And he probably was just
53:37
Speaker 1: and truth be told, and I know this, he was
53:40
Speaker 1: hoping that Bobby Carpenter was his dad, Rob Carpenter, you know,
53:44
Speaker 1: and he compared that that way. It was funny because
53:48
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, as the head coach for ten years, was like,
53:51
Speaker 1: I don't compare players, you know, we don't compare players.
53:54
Speaker 1: I don't compare anything, never compare the player. Well, he's
53:57
Speaker 1: this guy sort of like him. He's like, I don't
53:58
Speaker 1: compare players. Ourselves compared to everyone. He was like, that
54:03
Speaker 1: guy is going to be like this guy, and you know,
54:06
Speaker 1: until the media did it. And then when the media
54:09
Speaker 1: did it and they said, you think DeMarcus Ware is
54:12
Speaker 1: like Lawrence Taylor, He's like listen, Fellas, listen, No, no,
54:16
Speaker 1: he's not. Now, let's just put him in Canton right now. Well,
54:19
Speaker 1: we didn't put him in Canton right then, but when
54:21
Speaker 1: now and fifteen years later they did, so it looked
54:23
Speaker 1: like it was a good, good pick.
54:25
Speaker 3: The funny thing about that that draft, by the way,
54:27
Speaker 3: nick I went back down Cowboys picks in the fourth
54:30
Speaker 3: round one twenty five overall Skyler Green, Skyler, You're right,
54:35
Speaker 3: Skyler Green, and draft they wanted him to be like
54:40
Speaker 3: returner Yep, yep, Skyler Green, lsu yes, right.
54:46
Speaker 4: And he was small.
54:47
Speaker 1: I remember him.
54:48
Speaker 3: He was tiny.
54:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't remember him actually making the team, but
54:52
Speaker 1: I mean I think he did. He might have made
54:55
Speaker 1: the team, but he really didn't contribute much at all.
54:57
Speaker 1: So yeah, that six draft is not going to win
54:59
Speaker 1: a war. It's for the best one. This is Parcell's
55:02
Speaker 1: last draft. Carpenter Fossano, Jason Hatcher, Skyler Green, Pat Watkins,
55:07
Speaker 1: Montavious Stanley, Pat mcchust. I mean, I mean Jason Hatcher
55:13
Speaker 1: made a Pro Bowl. That's about. That's about it though,
55:17
Speaker 1: from that six draft. So that was that was Bill's
55:19
Speaker 1: last one. The followed up. You know, we did a
55:21
Speaker 1: documentary on the five class. We will not be doing
55:25
Speaker 1: one on the six class. I could just tell you
55:27
Speaker 1: that right now.
55:28
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Derrek Ross situation where you're
55:30
Speaker 3: talking about earlier two years, it was he was here
55:34
Speaker 3: for two years. The Wikipedia is funny. It says he
55:38
Speaker 3: was released after he missed a team session and a
55:43
Speaker 3: mandatory charity related hospital visit.
55:47
Speaker 1: M That's what I said, Yeah, don't be missing the
55:49
Speaker 1: hospital visits and then you'll be doing that.
55:52
Speaker 3: The New Orleans claimed him like a year later off
55:55
Speaker 3: waivers after a Landa released him, and he was he
55:59
Speaker 3: was The wave was pulled the next day because he
56:02
Speaker 3: missed the flight to New Orleans.
56:05
Speaker 1: M okay, I mean, I think there's been a lot
56:09
Speaker 1: of people missing their flight out of New Orleans. I
56:12
Speaker 1: was gonna say, you miss it, yeah, usually usually you'll
56:16
Speaker 1: drive yourself to New Orleans, but yeah, you don't miss
56:19
Speaker 1: it going out. Yeah, all right, I see a theme
56:22
Speaker 1: happening there with Derrick Ross's career, you know, missing he
56:25
Speaker 1: was missing some things, but talented player and he went
56:29
Speaker 1: and drafted in the third round. He was a really
56:32
Speaker 1: good player at Ohio State. I think they won the
56:34
Speaker 1: national championship the year before. They were always competing for it.
56:39
Speaker 1: So a really great player on that team. For him
56:42
Speaker 1: to go in the third round, there was obviously some
56:44
Speaker 1: character issues or any kind of concerns and they ended
56:48
Speaker 1: up kind of playing out in his career. So but yeah,
56:51
Speaker 1: I love the blast from the past guys like that.
56:54
Speaker 1: So all right, well, this has been a this has
56:57
Speaker 1: been a show for for sure. We've had to piece
57:00
Speaker 1: this one together. Appreciate the fans calling in. It will
57:04
Speaker 1: definitely you'll you'll be definitely be seeing it on the
57:08
Speaker 1: on all of our platforms later on today. So I
57:11
Speaker 1: want to thank Chris being for doing a lot of
57:13
Speaker 1: work to kind of get this happen. Will be hopefully
57:16
Speaker 1: back to normal next Tuesday, and we'll have a live
57:20
Speaker 1: show next Tuesday for sure. So for Chris, I'm Nick Eatman.
