  Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: What's up? Everyone? Welcome to another edition of Cowboys Storyline.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It's Thursday, August the twenty second. Back here at the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Star in Frisco. The team, players, coaches, everybody who've survived
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: training camp, cool weather, the warm fire. I guess that
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: happened at camp. Everyone should be safe and sound coming
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: back today. The team is back. Had to get a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: little bit of a head start there, and I don't
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: feel bad either. It feels nice to be back. We're
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: there long enough, all right. But the best reason to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: be back, obviously is not having the mowers. And I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: get it. Jazz is in the back. You got something cool?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Do you want to play a little sound that Chris
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Bean thought was funny to send? There you go for
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: all time sake. You know what if it just sounded
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like that, that sounds like a sleep fan that like
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: puts you to sleep, you know, a little sleep machine.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: This is not what it sounds like when you're doing
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the show like that. And trust me, all right, a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff going on every time you turn around.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys are adding D line help or about to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: add some D line help. It has not been official,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: but it sounds like the Cowboys are pretty close to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: getting a deal done with Linval Joseph, who reportedly has
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: agreed to terms. The team has not officially announced that yet,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but that was a move that we saw that one
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: coming since like may that mean everybody expected that Linnvald
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Joseph defensive lines thirty five years old, has played on
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: like five teams, but he's played a lot with the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Vikings with Mike Zimmer and a big guy in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: middle three thirty six five, three thirty. So if that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: does happen and they do bring him in, then that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: would give you Jordan Phillips Linval Joseph, who both played
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: for the Bills last season. Of course you got ohso
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you got Mazzi. Uh, your defensive tackle position is totally
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: changing if that happens. And then of course you got
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the guys on the outside, Russian the passer, so you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: know Carl Lawson being one of those two that they
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: added in the last week or so. So if that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: does happen, you know some of the free agent moves
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that the fans wanted the team to make, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and I don't. I don't. I'm not saying that these
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: are the moves that that everybody would have been excited about.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But you know, when you look at it now and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: look at what this team has done, you know, to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: add veteran guy like Lawson and veteran guys like Phillips
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and and uh and maybe Lynval Joseph in the middle,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know that that's at least addressing some some of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the problems lost. And I think was was done because
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of the injury to Sam Williams. I don't think that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: was a position they thought they needed to go out
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and get, but losing Sam for the season and training camp,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that's one where you know, I think the Coways needed
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: some depth at the pass rusher position. All right, h
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: eight five five? Uh? Wait eight eight eight eight fi
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: five two two nine seven Almost forgot the number? Uh,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that is the number to call. It's always been the number,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and that's the one that you guys have called. We
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: got two already on the line, So let's get started.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Michaels in Colton, California. You're always leading us off, Michael,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: What's going on? Good morning? Everybody, And I just you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the a the Joneses ain't playing man when they say
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: tellent acquisition is three sixty five.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure they're always there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: They're always on the grind, so that that's awesome. But hey,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I really like the way duce Vaughan is looking. You know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it looks like like cal he said he really worked
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: at this offseason on getting stronger, so he's not coming
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: down on that first contact. And you know, so I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: hope that all pans out for us because you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I just I'm a strong believer in the run game,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you know. But hey, Nick, let me ask you something.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: How was it seventeen hundred yard cd Lamb had last year?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Was that right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Seventeen hundred around.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: There or something?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Sounds right? Sounds right?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and like over ten touchdowns? Right, But let me
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: ask you something. What would you rather have? And and
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I'm really interested in what you have to say? Would
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you rather have that production out of a out of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a running back or a receiver? You know, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: know we love to have it all, you know it
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: have it both, but would you love to have a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: runner giving you that type of production or from the
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: receiver position?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: So like a thousand yard rusher seventeen hundred yard receiver
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: or seventeen hundred yard rusher, thousand yard receiver.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen hundred yard rusher, a thousand yard receiver. Because
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, personally me, I think that run game, man,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it just does a lot more for you. You know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it keeps the opposing team off the field. Because that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: one thing I learned when Bill par South came in
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: is a time of possession, man. That's very important, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And the best way to keep some of these great
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: players or good quarterbacks off the field is just eat
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: up that clock. And you know it goes a long way.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: But I'll go ahead and let you go and thank
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you for taking my call, and God bless everybody and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: have a great day.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and hang up and listen, thank you,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know. And that's pretty much what they had last year.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I believe that. I believe it was Paular that snuck
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in there and got a thousand yards like right at
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a thousand, thousand and seven. So and when they had
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess when Emmett was in DeMarco Murray
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: had years like that in that range of rushing. I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: sure because I want to say, when DeMarco did that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: eighteen hundred yards, I mean, I mean Dez was setting
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: records for touchdowns. I'm sure he got over a thousand,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: way over one thousand, and Michael Irvan was getting a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: thousand when m It was getting those, So it kind
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of works itself out. I mean, that's a good question
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to me. You could say yards are yards. But as
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I've said a thousand times, when the game is almost
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: over and you're trying to win at the end, no
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: one ever says, hey, we just got to go pass
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: out the clock. No one ever says that. No one
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: says pass out the clock. They say run out the clock.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Literally run out the clock. And so when you're we've
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: seen it twice last year almost almost came back to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: buy them against Seattle and Detroit that they were down
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: there in the red zone they needed to score, they
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: tried to throw it. They wasted forty seconds of clock
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: when they could have run it and almost hurt them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So I think having a runner, you know, a guy
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that you can count on and lean on to run
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the ball at all times, is probably one that you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: would rather have. But again, you know, there's a lot
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of teams that would want to have any kinds of yard,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you know, a thousand yard rusher or a thousand yard receiver,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: not to mention a seventeen hundred one. So uh, good
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: question there, Michael. All Right, Anthony and Miami. What's up? Anthony?
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: My god, quick? What's up?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I'm good man, what's up with you?
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I had to I had to come back. I had
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: to double dip this week. You know. I kind of
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: call every couple of weeks.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: I had the double depth because the contract stuff and
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: dad and see the like I say, back is my
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: favorite player now, you know. Now I'm in and the
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: door set and start back from my favorite players all
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: the time. But CD's up there. I like CD, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: their production was great last year. It was great. So
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: I hear people say, well of them, you know, who's
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: for the player? Who's for the owners?
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: The owners?
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: They got money this and that. But of course they
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: got money. If it wasn't a salary cap, we'd be
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: like the Yankees and the Dodgers probably, you know, yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: just pay everybody. Probably, But you have to put this
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: thing in perspective. I'm for the Cowboys, so that means
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: I've been a Jerry Jones fan since the day he
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: bought the Dallas Cowboys, you see what I'm saying. So,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: and because Dak can see the plays for the Cowboys,
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: I'm a Cowboys, I mean, I love them.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: So I said a couple of weeks ago that I
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: think CD would be around thirty four point five and
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Dak should be around fifty six. Would be my cap
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: because all that reset in the market and all that
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: you could do that at fifty six, that the highest
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: guy makes fifty five point something or whatever. Right, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: don't have to all this sixty million I'm learning and
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: all that, because hey, it takes to the tango, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: you really do have to be considerate of others, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: all that get mine and all these people talking about
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: he needs to get his and at work now you
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: gotta worry about that too, you know, tell me cde
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Lamb if they go ahead and settle for like thirty
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: four point something, that's not great for the production. He's there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: He's not better than justin jump. He's up there with Tyreek.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I think he's the third best receiver. I think that
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: is like the sixth best quarterback. But had a great
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: year last year. So I'm going fifty five and I'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: going thirty four point five for CD and I'm fifty
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: six for that, and I'm capping it. That's me. It's
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: my opinion. I'm capping it now. Once we get all
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: this stuff settled, more fridgeans, we signed, got new coaches,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: everything's supposed to be whatever it is, Cow, We've got
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: to find out why we're losing the way we're losing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: We're getting there, but why are you losing the big games?
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Look at the Buffalo game that year. I'll call the
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Arizona game an anonymy, but look at the Buffalo San
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Francisco in the playoff game. You gotta fix that. What
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: are you doing when you get to those games? And
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: I don't want to hear nothing about people are not ready?
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: And one time they say we're not ready, we were tired.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That's crap.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: So we gotta find out once we get there, once
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: everybody get all these calls out of the way, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: we don't fix everything to run the game, that and
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: all this stuff. Why are we doing that? Because we
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: know we can get there, find out how we strengthen
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: that and how we work on that, and then we'll
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: be all right. That's I wanted to say that. It's
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: my day off, so just wanted to cheer with your line.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: All right, Anthony, appreciate it. You know you mentioned the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: games they lost. Those games right there, the Arizona you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought there was it was really clear,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and they gave up two hundred and twenty two yards rushing,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: So doesn't matter what they were doing on the other
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: side of the ball or Digs got hurt early in
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the week. They gave up two hundred and twenty two
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: yards rushing in that game to James connor so and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Uh. And so the Bills ran all over
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: them as well. I think one seventy one. Uh, they
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: lost to the forty nine ers, they ran ran all
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: over them. The Packers in the playoffs ran all over them.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So what's happening in those games is that And a
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: lot of times in the playoffs it's big boy football,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: it's smash mouth football, and it's having to stop the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: run and you got to run run the ball. So
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that that's it right there, that's what they're doing. Look
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: at look at this last week. Look look at the draft.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Who did they draft? Did they draft a pass rusher
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: or did they draft a guy that looks like a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence clone and Marshawn Neeland, who's going to be
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a pretty good run stopper. Believe it's what it looks like.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: At least they are. They got Eric Kendricks in here.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that's that's been able to stop the run,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and he's gonna love the fact that these big guys
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: are in front of him. So they're addressing some of
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the problems that hurt them last year. And I think
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that's what any team should be able to do. So
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: it didn't happen in March like a lot of teams
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: do for free agency. Maybe it's happening now. You think
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's a coincidence that these guys are getting traded or
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: signed right here at the end of camp. No, who
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: likes training camp? No, I mean it's CD Lamb. Watch
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: he'll sign now at some point the numbers that you said,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Anthony for CD, I'll just say this, If they can
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Tony door set this thing, it'll be done. Tony dor set,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: That's where I think it needs to be. I don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: think it's there right now. I think they're lower than
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that if the Cowboys can get to Tony dor Set,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I think CD LAMB will be done, if you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you know, and for dakh Dixon Edwards taking it back
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in the nineties, that would be the number there. All right,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: let's go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: What's up my man?
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: You miss home?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know, I miss camp.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I mean I missed both. I mean I love being
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: a camp, I mean training camp. It's it's always awesome.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's it really is. It's it's a great place. It's
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a great time to be there, not just for the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: team to bond, it's good for our group to go there.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And and it was it was a good year. It
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was fun, you know. But but but what I love
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the most about getting back, you know, and obviously being
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: with the family and all that stuff. But what I
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: love about being back is now we know it's time.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it's time. It's time football season, it's time
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: we get to do this show more often. You know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It's where everything kind of cranks up a little bit.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: So that's that's what I love more than anything.
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I understand that, because yeah, the countdown is own.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: What I was calling about and I think I bought
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: up dan Quinn a few times. And I don't want
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: to harp on the guy. It's more of the front
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: office and Mike McCarthy. Am I Am I wrong for
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: thinking like, is Mike McCarthy not asking for anything? Like
• 13:19
  Speaker 10: is he okay with what he has? Because I feel like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: like dan Quinn, he called and was like, hey, I
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: need a safety. They gonna find a safety. Hey dan Quinn,
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: Hey I need a DV or a linebacker. We'll go, well,
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: we might figure it out, but we'll get you somebody
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: that play linebacker. But like Mike zimmers just getting in
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: and it's like he's calling and if I need a run,
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: I mean a linebacker or a safety or a d
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: tackle or DN It's like, all right, we figured out,
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: we get to somebody and Harold hold and below we
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: get somebody. And then like when it comes to the offense,
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: and I know they bought in a few people and
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: stuff like that, but I feel like, you know, in
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: order to you know, make the offense a little better,
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: maybe you bring in a couple more free agents or
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: or is he like Mike is like, hey, I'll play
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: with what I got or or is he not getting
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: any say on what's going on? And he's just They're like, hey,
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: you got what you need, make it happen, and so
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: like I'll leave it to you. I'll leave that on there,
• 14:18

  Speaker 2: Thanks, Louis, appreciate that. I mean, I hear what you're
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: saying there. I think I think what you're asking is
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: is what maybe why they didn't get a running back.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I mean I'm trying to think what other position would
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: it be like they didn't go and get. I mean,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you know, look at the draft, they drafted a couple
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: of players there to help immediately, to help right away.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that's what they were trying to do. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: mean it looks like they've done that in the third
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: round with Cooper Bebe. I mean looks like he's the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: guy that's going to be ready to go in and start.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But as for the running back position, they didn't go
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: and do that. I think that's a philosophy thing. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: uh and it might be one that that that Mike
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you know, wanted as well. I mean I think he
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: feels pretty good about what the offense is. I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: know you who would rather have CD Lamb in here,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: but but it's been able to develop some of the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: other other guys. And I don't know, I don't know
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: if I'll go with you on that that he's not
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: getting what he wants. He's the head coach, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: he's he knows what he needs. He knows that defense
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: needs to get better, and he knows to make Mike Zimmer,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: you know, successful, and for him to succeed like he
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: wants him to succeed, then he's got to get his
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: guys in there. So I think it's about just what
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: they what they wanted, what they've needed, and and uh,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you know I I And also it's not it's not
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: over yet. Just wait and see what happens if guys,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: when guys get cut and guys are available, I'm sure
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: there will be some offensive guys, uh that they they
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: go in and get So all right, Greg in North Carolina.

  Speaker 2: give me all the all your stats, favorite player, all
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that good stuff.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Favorite player is probably Tony Dorsett. I just you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: my old school cowboy guy. Didn't following the cowboys since
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I was ten years old. Cowboys come about in the
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: early sixties. I was born in sixty one, so we
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: got a little bit in common there. But Tony Dorsett
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: was my favorite.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Calo was common, go ahead, Tony dors said, is my
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: guy as well? All right?
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: What anyway, there's been a lot of hype about the
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: offensive line, defensive line, got a lot of safety. He's
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: got a lot of good young players. But I haven't
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: heard a lot of talk about Bland and Gigs. You know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: I know they're not playing in the preseason games, but
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: what do you think about their their practices and uh
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: so far this preseason?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got another question? Or is that it?
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: No, that's it?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Greg, appreciate it. Thanks for the call,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: first time color from Wilson, North Carolina. That's Greg. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: about Diggs in Bland, haven't heard a lot from them, obviously,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: they're not going to they're not going to play in
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the preseason games obviously, and they practice and Diggs is
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: starting to ramp himself up a little bit and he's
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: getting in there more practicing. Had an interception in a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: practice earlier this week and looked pretty good doing it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: So they're there. They got a plan for him. The
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: plan has always been get him ready to go where
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: he can play at a high level against the Browns
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Week one. That's that's been the goal. For him, and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: that's kind of where things are. That's where they stand
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: with him. I would imagine that, you know, now, does
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he play every snap in that game? I don't know.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll be ready for that. That's
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: something that they're going to have to judge and see.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: But we'll we'll see, you know, if if they when
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: they got Andrew Booth in here, they've traded for him.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: He's he's a guy that's looked pretty good. I thought
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: he looked good in the game the other day. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: was impressed by him, and that gives him a little
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: bit more depth. I think he's he's better than nay
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Sean Wright. So I think that that that was what
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the trade was, and I think the Cowboys for what
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: they need, I think that they've won that. Now let's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: see about special teams though that may not be an
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: area that Andrew Booth is better than nay Sean right at.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if that if that's gonna happen. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to answer the question about Bland and Diggs, I think
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I think they're they're gonna be fine. It'll be it'll
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: be fun to see what what these teams do. I
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: don't think that they're I don't think opposing quarterbacks are
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: necessarily afraid of either player. This is not a Deon
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Sanders situation. Or I don't even think there's anybody in
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the league like that, you know anymore. So you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: we saw it in the Seattle game that they went
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: after bland I mean, and they had some success. Now
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Blande got a pick so and and that's the thing
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: when when Diggs got eleven interceptions and and and bland
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: got nine last year, they it's because teams aren't aren't
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: really afraid of them, because they keep throwing at him,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and they'll they'll they'll complete some passes on them and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: then they'll get picked off and sometimes taken to the house.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: So pick your poison on that one. And now now
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you've got two of them, that's gonna be that's gonna
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: be real fun to see what these what these quarterbacks do,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: especially if they can if they can stop the run
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: and get them in third and long situations, and you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Michael will be coming off the edge there and and
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: maybe lost in as well, and and tank of course,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be even more opportunities for those guys
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: to make some place, all right, let's go to uh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: actually jazz, We're gonna take a break. Let's take a

• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We got Derek and Seattle Gay.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: Somebody thanks for doing good?
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: Doing good?
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: Hey, like your last caller, Tony dorsett Man. Isn't that
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: one of the reasons we all started loving the Cowboys.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: But hey, super excited about the Cowboys this year. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: here's why if you agree with me. The middle, the middle,
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: the middle has been strengthened. Oh, I love what they've
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: done on the defense and on the offensive line. I mean,
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: the good teams have been killing us there for the
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: last few years. And here's a stupid illustration. But when
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: you want to break a stick, you grab each end
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: and you snap it in the middle, and that's not
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: going to happen to Dallas this year. They got beef
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: inside and like you said, added Kendricks and linebackers and
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: now Parsons and Lawrence will just fly off the edges
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: offensive line. So I'm excited. I mean running back, you
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: could put anybody back there nowadays, especially with their line,
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: So adding those two big vets in the middle, I'm pumped.
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: And that's why because the middle is finally strong. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you agree, but I think they
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: got a really good chance this year.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's where that's where it all begins.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I agree with you on that with with with the middle,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: both offense and defensive lines. I love it what they're
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: able to do there in the on the defensive tackle
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: position and also with Kendricks and then all the way back.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So don't disagree with you. Now on offense, we'll see
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: if Cooper BB can handle it. You know, I mean,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: so far, so good in the preseason games. But let's see,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: let's see if he can handle it. And I'll I'll
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: say this, I if the offensive line is as good
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: as we think it can be, and if it's going well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: then I agree with you that it doesn't really matter
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: who's behind as far as running the ball. You know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: these running backs are capable. We've seen undrafted players, seventh
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: round picks that that that have great seasons. We've seen
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: first you know, first round picks, all of it. But
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I'll say this, though, you do want you got, you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: gotta have some vision. You got to hang on to
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the football. You gotta be able to pass protect, so
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: catch the ball out of the backfield. So I'm not
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: just gonna say anybody will do, but I I I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: agree with it with the premise of what you're saying.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: But I also think that, you know, having an all
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: around back that's capable of doing a lot of different
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: things is, you know, is the difference of having a
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: decent to good running game and a great running game.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: So all right, let's go to Robbie. He's in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Coco Beach, Florida. I don't know where that is.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: What's up, Nick, what's up?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Robbie?
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Are you first time called Jake and the family?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: They're they're good, they're good.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're happy to see at home?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy he's back in school though, for sure.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It's this first time caller. I've never written down Cocoa
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Beach before.
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: No, I usually say Robbie from Florida.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: It's about my But but you know what, I'm glad
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: you did that because I charged all the calls and
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I like that. I like to have the city. Somebody
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: called the other day from Oklahoma and I'm like, I
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: lived in Oklahoma eight years. We're in Oklahoma northeast southeast wherever,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: so I like the city in there as well.
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: I'll keep saying Cocoa Beach there, all right.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm always gonna write down Cocoa Beach. That's
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: cool to say.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: What's up, Robbie, nothing, man, I'm I'm impressed with the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: additional involve Joseph.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Him and Moz I. I hope they're going to have
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: a good year.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, they're they're they're bigger guys,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and and they're you know, him and Phillips both are
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: kind of bounced around a little bit. There's a reason
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: why they get signed, there's a reason why they don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: get re signed. That's that's that's just the facts, you know.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Age Well, yeah, I mean, and and production and all that.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: But but all coaches feel like, you know same, They
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: feel like I can, I can, you know, get them here.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I can. They played well when I had them, I'll
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: get them to play that way. That's what coaches feel like.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: And let's see if if Zimmer can do the same.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir, that's all I got, buddy, I'd hope.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you're.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Home and you don't have to deal with that lawnmower
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: no more your family.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, that's right. It's so it's so peaceful
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: in here as well. And I don't even care if
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: they play that that little uh the mower clip. I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: like it, actually, but that's not what it sounds like
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: when you're out there. And it wasn't just one, it's two.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: And then if they when they take a break, then
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: we got marketing in turns over here with leaf blowers
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: blowing out the tent next to us. So yeah, it
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: was we were we were blowing and going and mowing
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: all all the time there. So it's nice. Nice to
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: be here just to hear you guys, and hear everything
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you're saying. I agree with you on the defensive tackle position.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: But let's not get carried away. And and I, you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: with what I said about let's don't forget about the
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: fact that there's a there's a reason these guys are available,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: you know. And that's the way it is with all
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: free agents. There's a reason that No. Thirty one other
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: team decided to sign Carl Lawson and nobody has signed
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you know, uh Linval Joseph all summer long, he's been
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: this will be his fourth team in four years. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Eagles and the Bills and the Chargers, and and you
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: gotta there there's a reason for that. There's a reason
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: why that that they're like teams aren't saying, oh man,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I gotta gotta get him back, got to bring it
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: back there, like okay, So know that going in, know
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: that going in, But for based off what they've had,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I think I think it'll be it'll be better, you know.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: And I and I you have to trust Zimmer on
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: this too. Maybe Zimmer can get the best out of
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: uh those guys, especially the guy like Joseph who he's
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: coached before. And Joseph worked with with Phillips last year
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and obviously he's worked with Eric Kendrick. Same thing. Kendrick
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: was a free agent. But you know, and then Mike
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Zimmer was a free I mean, like there's you can
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: make that argument all all day long too. I mean,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Lebron James has been a free agent too, So sometimes
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: it kind of works out, all right, Eric in North Carolina.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Somewhere in North Carolina is Eric. Hey, Nick, what's up?
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: Not much, man, A long time?
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: Go talk to man.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I've been my schedule, my worst schedule change.
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: I took a new position, man, but you know I
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: will off today. I just happen to catch a show.
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: I me elated about that. And because you know, always
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: been a pleasure talking with you.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Nick.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Where in North Carolina are you from? I like to
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: write down the cities where in north Right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: I'm in east of North Carolina. So I'm in Greenville
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: where East Carolina University is. Okay, yep, So yeah, we
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: got the best barbecue in the world.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Really, I couldn't disagree.
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: But I feel like we do.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know that's that's one of those
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I love. I love that debate because you know, it's like,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you know, no one's really wrong, not, you know what
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like you could say this barbecue, this barbecue,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, what if you're if you're in
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: sixth place, it's still pretty.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Good, pretty good.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the only the only bad barbecue is
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: like the mcgrib you know what I mean, Like that's
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: that is.
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: Not even real barbecue, by the way.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's my point. That's my point though.
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: Right, all right, but listen, I just gonna be real quick.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I just gonna get your.
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: Thoughts on Duke good juice Vn. I mean, he's.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Bringing he's bringing the juice.
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: You know, he had the last game, he had five touches,
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: all great, great plays, right, all just great plays. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: I just wonder what you think about what kind of
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: role will be caused out.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: From him this year for him?
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: This year he.
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: Continues to play this well where we see more significant
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: role in do Vaughn. Will he keep us from actually
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: looking outside the organization for another running back? So on
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: and so forth. I just want he had thoughts about dude.
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: I love what he's seeing. I think this team has
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: way more talent than they nationally are putting off for us.
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: You know, so I is still real I feel enthusiastics
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: about this year. A lot of people question what Jarry's doing,
• 30:04
  Speaker 12: and it's what we're doing. But I feel real great.
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: I just feel like we have a lot of talent
• 30:09
  Speaker 12: that no one knows about it. It's going to flourish
• 30:11
  Speaker 12: this year. Yeah, But I can hear your thoughts specifically
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: about dudes, and thank you for taking my call.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: Look for again, all right?
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you? All right, Eric and Eastern North Carolina. I'm
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: getting that sense as well, you know. I mean, like,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's easy to look at how the season
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: ended last year and also what didn't happen in free agency.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Didn't go and sign a lot guy, and they lost
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: some guys. They lost guys to to Washington more than anything.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: They else their defensive coordinator and all that, and then
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that you know, they you can say that not signing
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: these players has been negative. It definitely has been from
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: a standpoint of not having Cede Lamb at practice. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I think it, you know, I think it's all going
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to be worked out. And a lot of people too
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: young to remember this, But in nineteen ninety two, not
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: ninety three. Ninety three was the year Immit didn't sign
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and he finally did and they won Super Bowl and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: all that. But ninety two, I believe they had two
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: to three maybe four guys in the same situation there
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: that you know Michael Irvin was in that boat, might
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: have been Darryl Johnston or Novachek. I just remember that
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: was kind of happening and they had to kind of
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: get it all figured out, and it did and you
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: don't even remember it, and they go and they play well.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: So you hope that that's the case. All I'm saying
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: is is easy to look at the negative things when
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: you look at the roster. Do me a favor, just
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: go to the depth chart on the website. Go to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the depth chart and just go top to bottom. Just
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: look at especially like the defense. Just look at who
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: you've got on defense, first team, second team. When you
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: just look at that and guard, there's Micaeh Parsons Osa
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and here's Mazzi with no one that Phillips and Lynn
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Val Joseph will probably be in the backup or whatever rotation.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: There.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You got Tank Lawrence, you got Marshawn Neeland there, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: then you got Kendricks and Damon and Clark and and
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: and Overshown and Leah Fowl and all that in that group.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And then you got Bland and Diggs and Don and
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Wilson and Lee Cooker and then Jordan Lewis in there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I mean that's a pretty good defense. I mean that's
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a good defense. And then offense. You know, we know
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: what they have there on the offense as well. There's
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: question marks. All I'm saying is is not forget the
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: good stuff. Let's not forget that you have elite players too,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Elite like Micah Parsons. Whatever. You can say whatever you
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: want about him and his podcast and what he says
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. The fact is, when
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: it's third and nine and the game is on the line,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he is a problem for that other team. He's a problem.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows that. And it's good that he's on your side.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And there's gonna be a hundred times in this season
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: that you're gonna be so happy Number eleven is on
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: your team, and you're gonna be like, you know what,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I don't care what he does on Tuesday, I don't
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: care what he does. Sign this guy, keep him on
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the team because he's a badass, and that's that's what
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: you want. They got a few guys like them, all right, Sorry,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Travis san Antonio, what's up?
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Just cooking a little breakfast, all right, a little late breakfast,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: but the breakfast and wanted to get in.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Usually when I'm cooking breakfast, I just I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: just focused on that. There's nothing else I can I
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: can't do other things call and whatever.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, oh no, no, I hadn't. I had it was
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: listening and I wanted to get in here. So what
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: do you I wanted to say, I want to tell
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: you last the last time. I want to say it's uh,
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: welcome back as well. I'm sure you're glad to be
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: back in your bed. That's always, that's always a bonus.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Did I hear early in the show that you were
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: gonna use that new drop that Jazz had is a
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: is a sleeping aid?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Could I could? Because I actually do that. I actually
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: sleep with a fan like that sometimes, and so that
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: that sounds like it to me. It didn't sound like
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: a mower. It sounded like a like a like just
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: a sleep aid.
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: You could? You could use it for your training camp
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: prep next year, too.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: True. You know what, when we get a little closer
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to there, I gotta I gotta learn to do that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: So yeah, but yeah, glad you're back, and glad you're
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: in your own bed and all that and I just
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: wanted to say, you know, I know we've talked with
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: this before it happened with the Philip signing. I've seen
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: people on and I didn't comment, but I've seen me
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: on Twitter already like oh, is this a bad sign
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: for Aussie. I'm like, no, it's a guy that, like
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: you already said, I'm sure they hadn't with zim or
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: they had an agreement in place long before too. They
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: don't come to camp, stay healthy, stay ready, and we're
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: going to add you and you're going to be a
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: death piece and a rotational piece again, just to help
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: keep MASI fresh. That's all I think it is. You
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: kind of let into the one question I did want
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: to ask, was we talked about this in the group,
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: was what position or a player do you think is deepest,
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: because like they could be a trade. Maybe not even
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: a trade right now because i've heard Wanni it kind
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: of got dinged up. But the guy that I'm curious
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: maybe at the trade deadline if you're like, hey, you know,
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: maybe it's a running back of the trade deadline or something,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: or you want to flip a player for a player,
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: because you were just saying, like I do agree they
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: have a lot of depth on defense. It's maybe Dono
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: for me, just because this is a weird case Nick,
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: where I've got nothing against Hooker, nothing against Donno, but
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: this is a weird case where it's like I'm almost
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: a little bit higher on the combination of Bell and Thomas. Yeah,
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: which I know might, but I mean I feel like
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: it's like one A one B. If you were to
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: put those two safeties together and say, whish two do
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: you want? They both had made a strong push to
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: be like maybe they're the one A actually, which is
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: kind of crazy as a backup there. So I don't know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: maybe that's something in the trade deadline. They might look
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: at it, you know, because you all know we don't
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: want to happen. But injuries happened, Travis.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: You know what I I you and I see eyed
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: eye a lot on some of these things. I actually
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: had that same thought literally two days ago, same exact
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: thought to the t to the player, all of that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I floated it around to some people, and what what
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I got back was is, don't forget how much zim
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: is using three safeties on the field together, And yeah, exactly,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: and especially with one of them that has played some
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: linebacker in Bell and Thomas is is tough, Donna Wilson's tough.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Those guys can play closer to the line of scrimmage.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: So when you think about packages that will have three
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: safeties and you've got four that you like, now you're
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: not You're not you know, you're not playing with as
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: much depth as you think. You know what I mean.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: It's it's kind of like corner when you've got two starters,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: but you also have third John with Jordan Lewis, so
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: you really need three good corners. So the fact that
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: you have four, it's not like you're doubling up on
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: each side because you're really playing three, you know, is
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: if that makes sense. So when I when I got
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: it proposed to me that way, then I kind of
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: cooled my jets a little bit about thinking that you
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: have a lot of depth here at safety. I was like,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: but I'm with you. I'm with you on that. But
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: it's also goes down to what Zimmer is gonna play.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: If he's gonna play that, If he's gonna play three
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: safeties a lot, then I like how having four that
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: are capable and I don't know if I want to
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: tink it with.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: That, But yeah, I hear you, and and I like
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: the other reason I said too is I've really been
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: kind of a fan of Julius Wood. I think i'd like, yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: done so far.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so thirty.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Thirty three maybe the expector, yeah, thirty thirty.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Three, right, him and Imani Johnson kind of get mixed
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: up a little bit. But what Yeah, he showed up
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: on both games, you know, which is always it's always good,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: you know, showing up on on the games. You're right,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: So they always developed those those you know, undrafted safety
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at look at the safety position. I mean,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Donovan Wilson's a sixth round pick, and and then Juan
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Ye is undrafted, U Marquis Bells undrafted. So they they've
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: done a nice job of kind of finding that that
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: player for sure.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: All right, and then here's the last thing, Nick, and
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: then I'll I'll jump off, Okay, Dak, I am I'm
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: not worried about CD. We talked about it yesterday. Don't
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: talk about that again. But I'm not worried about CD
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: getting done. I am a little bit worried. And I
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: don't know what you're what your idea is on this,
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: but I am a little bit worried now that we're
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: getting so close to the season, because you know, players
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: and free agents, the goal is always like the golden tickets,
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: always to get to understrict the free agency. And I
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: just wonder he's so close to that now, not saying
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: everyone is assuming that if he if he goes to
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: free agency, he's gone for sure. Maybe it's he just
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: wants to put them in a bidding war and he
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: does come back. Maybe he doesn't. We don't know, right,
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: but I do wonder the closer it gets, like that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: the golden ticket, and I wonder do you think that's
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: playing in Todd France, his agent or maybe dac of
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: Like you know what I bet on myself before. Yeah,
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: like I told somebody else, I bet on myself before.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: Why not better myself again and gets to understract free
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: agency and just call my shot? Yeah, So I just
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: want to see what you thought.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Travis. You have
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a good one as well. And I think that that
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you're right about that. I think the number is pretty
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: high right now from their side. That's what's making this
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: a tough sign for the Cowboys because I think exactly
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: what You're just saying, it's like, why would I sign
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: right now when I know I could probably break the
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: bank next year somewhere, And so if you want me
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: to sign now, this is it, you know, because I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: know what's out there. I can get a lot more
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: than this, And I think hometown discounts are all out
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the window and all that. So I think that's what's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: kind of complicating things a little bit. And maybe the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: fact that they haven't signed DAK is also complicating things
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: with CD, so they all kind of play. It kind
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: of is a domino effect there between both of them.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: All Right, we do have a caller on the line,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna take another quick break real quick. We'll
• 39:32

  Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to the phone lines. Here
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: we got ten. He's in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: How you doing. I am good. I'm good. Just want
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: to address up and keep things on a positive note.
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: Had a little ants at the end of last year,
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: but seems as though we're addressing all of my all
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: the things that concerned me. My concern was Big Boys
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: offensive defensive line check. We've I think we are addressing
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: that all our progress our position groups. I think we've
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: got depth. We're pretty good at our position groups. The
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: only shortcoming that I do have is maybe our running
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: back group. But that being said, you get a good
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: offensive lineman, which I think we have, and running back
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: pretty much takes care of himself. Of course, we don't
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: like to have an elite running back, but I think
• 42:08
  Speaker 9: I think we're fired right there, and that's pretty much
• 42:14
  Speaker 9: all I have.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: What do you think?
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that, you know, we all would
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: like to have an elite running back, like you say,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: but I think that they've had. They have a back
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: who has been elite, you know, and that's not that
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't come ount too much anymore. But I still think
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: he's got that. I still think he's got some of
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: the ability that he had before. I'm talking about Zeke.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I know, he's not an eighteen hundred yard rusher. Fifteen
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: hundred yard rusher is not the same type of guy.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: He's not going to go sixty seventy yards, but he
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: still can do the dirty work and that's what I
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: think that they really miss from him last year and
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I think they need that type of running back. So yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I think that that he can still kind of get
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: the job done. You need a little juice somewhere in
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: that running back room. Maybe Rico Davill has that. Maybe
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Duce can can provide that as well. But I think
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: as a collection by committee, I think they'll be fine.
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, all right, Tim, thanks for the call.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Tim, and Winston saleed North Carolina. North Carolina is winning
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: the show today. There's no doubt. I see three North
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Carolinas on this list. We only really have one ever
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: from Nevada, but he but he calls quite quite a lot.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: So how about Robin Vegas, Nick, do you go to
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: the game?
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: I sure did.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh I saw that. I saw you had a message.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, sorry, buddy of mine hooked me up. Yeah, yeah, nice.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Would you think it was a good atmosphere. It was
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: a good atmosphere.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you that that stadium is great to
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: watch a game. It's so small compared to AT and T. Yeah,
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: you're just closer to the field.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of cowboy fans and I sat
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: right behind the goal post, so I had good seats.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: It was cool.
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: I mean it was.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: It was a fun game, it was better. You know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys looked good, Trade looked better, and that sixty
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: six yard kick was awesome.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wish I could have seen that. Sorry,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I was not. I was in the tunnel waiting to
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: go onto the field. I was really upset that they
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: wouldn't let me on.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: It came.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: It came right at me, So that would have been
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: good from about seventies.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, I remember. I'll tell you well, I'll tell
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: you my story on that when you get off the air,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: But go ahead, what do you got.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Listen, we all wished for it, and now we're getting.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: I wish we said, you know, last year, they were
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: like sleep beach bodies. You know, they were like the
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: sports car last year, and we thought they needed a
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: little more, you know, be a little more pickup truck
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: SUV types, and that's what they did. You know, you know,
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: now you got these big monster guys. I thought Pellups
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: played really good against the Raiders, considering you just got
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: off the plane.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: Me too, and I could see.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Him really being an improvement. I think he's got something
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: the you know, prove and I think now with Joseph,
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: you know, that's just a big man and that's what
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: they need. Offensively, the whole offensive line looks good and
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: cowboy fans would be excited because not only are they young,
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: but they're big. I mean, look at the size of
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: this offensive line. Yeah, you know, it's like the nineties
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: and they're young. I met the Bebie family when I
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: was there. When I was walking in, I saw like
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: seven people with his jersey, and my wife was like,
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: they have to be related, and I grabbed them to
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: take a picture, and sure enough it was the mother
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: the fire and they're very nice people. And I took
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: a picture of him and I posted it on the storyline.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: But now that it's exciting to see the side they
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: got bigger. Where we said they needed to get bigger.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: We talked about the oddage getting pushed back. Ain't gonna
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: be too many people pushing BB back. It's just his
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: style won't allow it. Yeah, and I just think the linebackers,
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: you know, we probably gave thirty pounds a man there,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: so defensively. You know, last year teams they realized, listen,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: let's run at them. Why are we throwing This is
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: what they're really good at and we couldn't adjust because
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: we didn't have the personnel now we do. Running back wise,
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: I would like to see them keep reco Zeke and Deuce.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: In the beginning of the season, I didn't think Deuce
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: would make it. I thought they'd maybe get him to
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: the practice squad. But every time I watch him, he
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: just does states that none of the running backs can do.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: And I and he's he's short, but he's not small, yeah,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: you know, and he could run in the in between
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: the tackles. I don't think he should make a living
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: doing that, but he just does stuff that they don't do,
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: like Royce Freeman and Zeke to me, is the same
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: guy I was talked about and I was just like
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Dylan said it, and Royce is actually younger, but they're
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: not going to get rid of Zeke for Royce. So
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: to me, I like to see them, you know, keep.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Deuce.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: And you guys are talking about the numbers that I agree.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be fifty eight for that. But
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: they only got a couple of weeks because I think
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: he goes past the first game, he doesn't sign and
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: he won't be back because it's gonna be sixty Vegas.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: The Raiders are gonna off the sixty, the Giants.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: Maybe the same.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: You know, there's gonna be teams out there. And you
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: know he said he didn't play for the money. Well
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: if he turns out fifty eight to both play for
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: sixty in New York, well then we found.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Out that that was a lie.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: So I just think they got two weeks to get
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: it done, and I think they get see I think
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: they get Ceede Lamb done by this weekend. I think
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: he wanted to do it at home, you know, get
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: him on the sideline. And you know you talked about Micah,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Michael was talking about you know, we talked about also Listen,
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: I don't care what these guys do off the field.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Two of the greatest players, Lawrence and Michael Irvin, had
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: some really bad habits during the week, but come Sunday
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: they able the best of what they could do. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: that's all I care about. As long as they not
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: in jail and and being you know, decent people. I
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: really don't care what you do as long as when
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: the lights are on, you're ready to get it.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean for them for the most part, Yes,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: I agree with you there as long as you're not
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: getting in trouble and not you know, being bad citizen
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: in the streets or anything like that. But for the
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: most part, for the most part, yeah, if you're right,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: if you're I've always said the same thing. If if
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: if the NFL is allowing you to play, and and
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: you're you're able to do that, then go do that.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't need a babysitter for my kids.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I don't need you know, role model and that kind
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff now, and just just go out and play,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: because because the point is is that no one cares
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: about the flip side. No one cares about the guy.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: And I always say Brandon Carr is my example.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: There.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: No one cares how great he was is in the community.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: He was awesome. All they care about is you make
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: fifty million dollars million a year and you're not getting picks.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: You let Nodell Beckham make catches over you. If you
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: don't care about how great of a person he is
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: to the community. They want him to be a good
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: football player, Well you can't have it both ways. If
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: you don't like what he is off field, doesn't matter.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: It's all about being a football player good or bad.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: So that's that's kind of what I take there. I
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: agree with some of the things that you said about
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: running back to Rico Zeke induced. Yeah, I don't know
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: if it's that order, but I think those three for
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: sure will make it. Hunter Lipkey's going to factor in.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: I still think Royce Freeman, Malik Davis might be around
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: some maybe on the practice squad. We'll see. And then,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the way you can use the guys on
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: the practice squad, you can still use them for game day,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: So I think it might be a crowded running back
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: room even going into the season. All right, let's go
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: another caller here, real quick. Josh in Chicago. Josh taking
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: my call, No problem, how are you?
• 49:50
  Speaker 13: I'm doing all right?
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: I gotta tell you.
• 49:51
  Speaker 13: I actually I live in North Carolina now too. So
• 49:54
  Speaker 13: North Carolina really is killing that.
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: Today, all right?
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, but if you're from Chicago, you got
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: to say you're from Chicago.
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: I always I get that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: I get that, but but that's cool, all right, North
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Carolina is clearly the winner. All right.
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: So I'm tuning in a little bit late today, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: I I don't mean to call out other fans, but
• 50:11
  Speaker 13: I do got to say something about the agents because
• 50:13
  Speaker 13: I think, you know, we can we can look and
• 50:15
  Speaker 13: you know, I agree with you on a lot of things,
• 50:18
  Speaker 13: but I think when we look at it like it's
• 50:19
  Speaker 13: it's really easy to point a finger at an agent,
• 50:21
  Speaker 13: but they just represent what their client wants, and if
• 50:23
  Speaker 13: they're not doing that, then they should be fired. They're
• 50:25
  Speaker 13: not doing something ethical by their client. I'm an attorney.
• 50:28
  Speaker 13: We represent what our clients want. So I mean there's
• 50:30
  Speaker 13: gotta be some concessions from CD and DAK and other
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: people too, and the front office.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're you're right, You're right about that. I mean,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's what's what the agent is supposed to do.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: You're right. If the CD wanted to sign, he signed,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I mean he'd signed, or he'd change agents if he
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: really wanted to.
• 50:46
  Speaker 9: So.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: But but but they are they're driving it. You know,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: they're they're driving this thing up and and and also
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: you can say from the advice that they're that they're
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: giving him as well. And I guess I guess Justin
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: is gone. But but as an attorney, I mean he
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: would he would know that as well. That's also the
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: advice that that's the person in their ear. So I'm
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: not gonna just sit here and clearly say it's not
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: the agent at all, because the agent's the one that's
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: that's advising them, are one of the people doing that.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: So it's there's there's I say, there's three sides to this,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: probably four when you when you factor in family and
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: the players want and what the agent's saying and what
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: the team's wanting and all that kind of stuff. So anyways,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's they all got to come together. It's
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, the player's
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: got to make make that decision, but you know he's
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: got to make what's best for him, and the timing
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: of it as well. That's why, Yes, training camp has
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: come and gone, but there's still a lot of a
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: lot of time before the first game. You know, we've
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: got more than two weeks. So this is the time though,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: I think that if they're going to get this thing
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: ramped up. And we had a caller say it the
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: other day about soft tissue injuries, you know, is this
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: is this is the time where CD should probably really
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: think about it. If I'm gonna if I'm doing this
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna do this. I'm not missing Cleveland and
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: that was always the plan. Then then it's got to
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: get done pretty soon here because you you're you're gonna
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: risk injury if you try to just get off the
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: plane and go and play a football game. You know,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Deon Sanders could do it, but he's he's rare. I mean,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: we know that it's gonna You know, when guys miss
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: training camp, it takes a little bit of time to
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: ramp up and get ready for the season. All right,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: great stuff as always really appreciate Jazz in the back
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: doing her thing and helping get keeping this show going.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Loving callers, a lot of them from North Carolina, so
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: that was good though, good great great callers, have some
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: first time callers, so all good. Well, we'll be back.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Gotta gotta be watching out for the schedule. Now. It's
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: gonna be a little different here the next couple of weeks.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Next week, I think we're still on the every other day,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: uh platform, and I we go back on Tuesday at
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: this time slot here at ten am. Ten am is
