- 0:43Speaker 6: or a lot of the group will still be out here. Yes,
- 0:46Speaker 6: I'm leaving early, bailing out on the team, and I'm
- 0:50Speaker 6: sure those guys will be talking much crap when we
- 0:54Speaker 6: head out early. But it's okay. Next week is first
- 0:57Speaker 6: week of school. We got to get back, you know,
- 0:59Speaker 6: things like that. Still, it's been a heck of a
- 1:02Speaker 6: camp so far. We're gonna end this one the right way.
- 1:05Speaker 6: Sure is Sure was great to see the group that
- 1:09Speaker 6: came out, and I know one of them is already
- 1:11Speaker 6: on the line, so I know that they got back safely.
- 1:14Speaker 6: But it was It was a lot of fun and
- 1:16Speaker 6: it kind of took this thing to the next level.
- 1:18Speaker 6: Every year, everything kind of changes. It's like, all right, well,
- 1:21Speaker 6: now we're gonna do calls. Now we're gonna do the storyline.
- 1:24Speaker 6: Now we're gonna come out to camp. So and I'm
- 1:26Speaker 6: sure next year, I'm already can tell it's gonna even
- 1:30Speaker 6: be bigger than that. So a lot of fun. But
- 1:33Speaker 6: like always, we're gonna talk cowboys, were gonna talk what's
- 1:36Speaker 6: going on with this team? And we got it. We
- 1:37Speaker 6: got one day before the first preseason game. We're gonna
- 1:40Speaker 6: get to see a lot of guys on the field
- 1:42Speaker 6: for the first time, and get to see Brian Schottenheimer
- 1:45Speaker 6: in this coaching staff for the first time and see
- 1:48Speaker 6: what what actually happens in a game. So that should
- 1:50Speaker 6: be a lot of fun. Excited to see that and see,
- 1:55Speaker 6: you know, if they can put maybe a little bit
- 1:56Speaker 6: better showing than what we saw in that practice. Won't
- 1:59Speaker 6: see a lot of the starters, of course, maybe none
- 2:02Speaker 6: of the starters, but for the most part though, it'll
- 2:05Speaker 6: be a lot of the twos and threes, and still
- 2:07Speaker 6: get a chance to see what kind of depth this
- 2:09Speaker 6: team has. All right, let's get started to the phone line.
- 2:12Speaker 6: Brian in Kansas City, start us off.
- 2:17Speaker 7: Good morning, sir, are you doing all right, doing all right, man.
- 2:22Speaker 7: You know, I was watching some highlights last night and
- 2:27Speaker 7: just interesting how every organization is different. Because the highlights
- 2:32Speaker 7: I was watching was Burrough throwing to Jamar Chase. Okay,
- 2:37Speaker 7: and I'm going, wow, But every organization is different. They
- 2:41Speaker 7: played their starters, they put the you know, he's probably
- 2:45Speaker 7: the second highest paid quarterback in the league, right He's
- 2:48Speaker 7: probably one of the fifty five million guys, and they
- 2:52Speaker 7: got them out there, you know, and the reorganization is
- 2:55Speaker 7: just different. I think we all know the Cowboys is
- 2:58Speaker 7: as an organization is a little more concerned servative about that, right.
- 3:01Speaker 7: But it's just interesting to see and not all the team,
- 3:05Speaker 7: you know, I think there was was there only two
- 3:07Speaker 7: games last night? I think it was two games, but whatever,
- 3:10Speaker 7: it was not everybody did that, but you know, just
- 3:13Speaker 7: kind of an interesting thing to see. The thing that
- 3:16Speaker 7: I was thinking about is when if everybody was healthy,
- 3:22Speaker 7: you know. So I'm just taking the injury bug out
- 3:24Speaker 7: of it for just a second. I think I know
- 3:27Speaker 7: who all the starters are except linebacker and running back.
- 3:34Speaker 7: And I've already said that I don't think the starting
- 3:36Speaker 7: one tech is even on the team right now.
- 3:39Speaker 2: But the.
- 3:41Speaker 7: I think if everybody's healthy, I could go down the
- 3:45Speaker 7: line and say this is who I think all the
- 3:47Speaker 7: starters are except those two positions. I just wonder what
- 3:51Speaker 7: your opinion on those two positions are if you have one.
- 3:54Speaker 7: I know, you know we heard Blue has a little
- 3:57Speaker 7: bit of an issue, but is not expected to not
- 4:00Speaker 7: expected to keep model long time. It's not the dreaded
- 4:03Speaker 7: high ankle spring. So but just what you think of
- 4:07Speaker 7: those two positions. And maybe there are leading candidates in
- 4:10Speaker 7: the linebacker room and I just don't know who they are.
- 4:13Speaker 8: That's all I got for.
- 4:14Speaker 7: You this morning. Man, listen to what you have to
- 4:16Speaker 7: say off the.
- 4:16Speaker 6: Air, Okay, I appreciate it. You know, if the linebackers
- 4:20Speaker 6: are all healthy, like you said, then then you know
- 4:24Speaker 6: it's a pretty strong group. I mean, because if everyone's healthy,
- 4:27Speaker 6: then I think your linebackers are overshown in Kenneth Murray
- 4:31Speaker 6: overshown is not going to be ready, but Samborn, Marrislee,
- 4:35Speaker 6: if i'll I mean the combination of these guys, and
- 4:38Speaker 6: then you throw in Shamar James has done a really
- 4:40Speaker 6: good job as a rookie. De Monte Clark's had pretty
- 4:43Speaker 6: good practices as well. So I think you'll see some
- 4:47Speaker 6: of that in the game tomorrow. You'll see some of
- 4:50Speaker 6: the depth there. At linebacker, I'm not really as worried
- 4:53Speaker 6: about that position. And if you think about and go
- 4:55Speaker 6: back and look at some of the defenses that Iberflus
- 4:58Speaker 6: has had over over his time, you know these these
- 5:01Speaker 6: He's got some pretty good linebackers on those teams. And
- 5:05Speaker 6: I think back way way back till twenty fourteen when
- 5:08Speaker 6: he was a linebackers coach and Anthony Hitchins had one
- 5:10Speaker 6: hundred tackles as a rookie. But but like you said,
- 5:14Speaker 6: that defensive tackle spot, if that can get somewhat short up,
- 5:18Speaker 6: I think that they'll stop the run pretty well. And
- 5:19Speaker 6: I think the linebackers will be fine. As for running back,
- 5:22Speaker 6: everyone healthy. I think it's Travante Williams until someone shows
- 5:26Speaker 6: him something different. If if Miles Sanders comes in and
- 5:29Speaker 6: and and shows that he is a little bit more
- 5:31Speaker 6: of a of a complete back, then it'll be him.
- 5:34Speaker 6: If if Jayden Blue does all the things that they do,
- 5:37Speaker 6: all the positive things that they want him to do,
- 5:39Speaker 6: uh where he's he shows this kind of speed and quickness,
- 5:42Speaker 6: he can catch the ball out of the backfield, he's
- 5:44Speaker 6: a willing blocker. You don't have to put people down,
- 5:47Speaker 6: you know, you just have to get in the way
- 5:50Speaker 6: and and make sure that the blitzers don't hit the quarterback.
- 5:53Speaker 6: It's not always fun, you know. Tony Poler didn't wasn't
- 5:56Speaker 6: great at it, but he wasn't terrible. You know, he
- 5:58Speaker 6: wasn't Zeke. But he get in there and he was
- 6:00Speaker 6: not afraid. That's the thing about Tony Pollard. And that's
- 6:03Speaker 6: what I think Jayden Blue are any of these young
- 6:04Speaker 6: backs are going to have to do so the running
- 6:07Speaker 6: back position. You know, it's just we haven't seen anything yet,
- 6:10Speaker 6: so it is what it is. It's kind of more.
- 6:12Speaker 6: You're going off of the money right now. You know,
- 6:15Speaker 6: you're like, all right, the veteran that they paid the
- 6:17Speaker 6: most too is Deravonti Williams. Then they paid a little
- 6:19Speaker 6: bit to Miles Sanders. They're the veterans. They've been here.
- 6:23Speaker 6: Then for that, the highest draft picked would be would
- 6:25Speaker 6: be Jayden Blue and then fil MafA and all that.
- 6:28Speaker 6: But once we get and we'll see what happens tomorrow.
- 6:31Speaker 6: I think Mafa's gonna play well, I really do, you know.
- 6:34Speaker 6: They they're probably gonna have to get another running back
- 6:36Speaker 6: in here. So I know there's been a little bit
- 6:39Speaker 6: of talk and speculation. I don't know if it's if
- 6:43Speaker 6: it's too early to talk about, but it sounds like
- 6:45Speaker 6: they are going to sign another running back, and probably
- 6:48Speaker 6: a running back that you've seen before. So don't be
- 6:50Speaker 6: too surprised and not not zeke Okay, I'm not going there.
- 6:53Speaker 6: Just just pay attention to that. I'm sure that they're
- 6:56Speaker 6: going to be bringing in another back just to help
- 6:59Speaker 6: them in the day standpoint. All right, let's go to
- 7:03Speaker 6: uh Davian in Illinois. Next, Davian, what's a big doll
- 7:10Speaker 6: you hear me? You made it? You made it back.
- 7:12Speaker 6: He was the last one to leave. I saw. I
- 7:13Speaker 6: actually talked to him yesterday of practice. So he looks
- 7:16Speaker 6: like the train and the flight and everything got back
- 7:19Speaker 6: safe and sound in Illinois.
- 7:22Speaker 8: Yeah, everything went well, man. The train was train was fun.
- 7:25Speaker 8: I had a guy that just wouldn't leave me alone,
- 7:28Speaker 8: let me just begg But it's uh, it was it
- 7:31Speaker 8: was fine. I mean, uh, it was fine. I had
- 7:34Speaker 8: a good time.
- 7:35Speaker 6: A lot of people mess with you all. I mean,
- 7:38Speaker 6: you're you're man. I don't know why people mess with you.
- 7:42Speaker 8: It was just without leaving alone. Man, I was Yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 8: it was. It was wild. But yeah, shout after y'all.
- 7:49Speaker 8: Thank y'all for everything I did for us. We uh
- 7:51Speaker 8: we really truly appreciate it. Uh really just I really
- 7:54Speaker 8: had a great time. It's pretty much triple fifteen out
- 7:57Speaker 8: of ten.
- 7:58Speaker 9: It was.
- 7:59Speaker 8: It was off the moon, so it was crazy.
- 8:02Speaker 6: I'm so happy that you guys enjoyed it and it
- 8:04Speaker 6: was worth it because it was a lot of fun
- 8:07Speaker 6: on our end too.
- 8:09Speaker 8: Yeah. Big shouts after Anthony, I urge you did for
- 8:14Speaker 8: my mom. I really appreciate that. So you're looking at
- 8:17Speaker 8: my guy.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Uh.
- 8:18Speaker 8: So let's talk about the team basically. Man, I really
- 8:22Speaker 8: tomorrow I'm looking forward to to see as U Nate Thomas.
- 8:26Speaker 8: I kind of want to see what he gonna be
- 8:27Speaker 8: able to do with live action. I mean we started
- 8:30Speaker 8: the scream as you did for that, okay, but I
- 8:32Speaker 8: kind of want to see more of well of what
- 8:34Speaker 8: he's gonna do. I know he probably't gonna be at
- 8:36Speaker 8: there too long because we him and Rich I think
- 8:40Speaker 8: is a facult right now.
- 8:41Speaker 6: You know what you know what not not to cut
- 8:43Speaker 6: you off, but he might you know, I mean, he
- 8:46Speaker 6: might be out there longer than you think, because I mean,
- 8:50Speaker 6: he does no reps from last year. He needs to play.
- 8:52Speaker 6: He needs to play. He might get banged up a
- 8:55Speaker 6: little bit. I'm not talking about hurt, but just banged
- 8:57Speaker 6: up and fight through that stuff. I mean, it's been
- 9:00Speaker 6: a Watson's he's played football, So if they really want
- 9:02Speaker 6: to see what he can do, maybe he does get
- 9:05Speaker 6: a little bit more reps than then then you would
- 9:07Speaker 6: think just what the ones would get or what he
- 9:09Speaker 6: would get.
- 9:11Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, You're right. I mean I would be
- 9:14Speaker 8: opposed to seeing them out there going because I mean, uh,
- 9:18Speaker 8: between him and Riches, somebody got to step up and
- 9:21Speaker 8: take that spot, which I think he's gonna actually get it.
- 9:23Speaker 8: But uh, Also, I mean I'm looking forward to seeing
- 9:27Speaker 8: I'm hoping that. I was, like we were talking about
- 9:29Speaker 8: wins out there. I think that's probably gonna play second game.
- 9:32Speaker 8: I think he's gonna play this game just for just
- 9:34Speaker 8: because I think he did the scrimmage pretty much the
- 9:36Speaker 8: whole time, So I don't think he's gonna play that.
- 9:38Speaker 8: He's gonna play it all tomorrow. But I'm looking forward
- 9:41Speaker 8: to seeing the play calling because I know he said
- 9:43Speaker 8: he gonna keep the seven iron, and he's just gonna
- 9:45Speaker 8: basically be a vanilla all preseason. So I'm just curious
- 9:48Speaker 8: abou But they gonna vanilla it up tomorrow, how looking?
- 9:51Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, I mean yeah, that's why you're not gonna
- 9:55Speaker 6: see a lot of these stuff like like Turpin for instance.
- 9:58Speaker 6: I'd like to see a little bit more from turping.
- 10:00Speaker 6: You ain't gonna see Turpin out there because I mean,
- 10:02Speaker 6: why would they throw anything that they might be doing
- 10:05Speaker 6: on his you know, with him. So we'll see, we'll
- 10:09Speaker 6: see how it goes.
- 10:10Speaker 7: You know.
- 10:10Speaker 6: It's one thing to say, oh, this is what they
- 10:13Speaker 6: have done with Dak, this is what the Cowboys do.
- 10:16Speaker 6: But we are dealing with a new head coach and
- 10:18Speaker 6: a new staff and with new you know, ideas and stuff.
- 10:21Speaker 6: So so maybe Shottenheimery's gonna mix it up. I believe
- 10:25Speaker 6: it when I see it about Dak playing a preseason game.
- 10:27Speaker 6: I mean, it hasn't happened since twenty nineteen. I just
- 10:30Speaker 6: I'm just not expecting that to happen here.
- 10:34Speaker 8: And then my final thing, because I know we got
- 10:36Speaker 8: people trying to get on the ry receivers. How you
- 10:39Speaker 8: did that? We was gonna play it, I know, we
- 10:40Speaker 8: GP and CD five gonna chill if we don't see Turp, Tober, Mingo,
- 10:46Speaker 8: Tray Sha Holden probably most of the game, you will think.
- 10:49Speaker 6: I would not expect to see Turpin because like I,
- 10:53Speaker 6: like I alluded to, it is a second ago. I mean,
- 10:55Speaker 6: everything that they're doing with him is kind of he's
- 10:58Speaker 6: kind of the new Wrinkle guy. He's a gadget type player.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Why would you throw any of that stuff out there?
- 11:03Speaker 6: I just don't see the point in playing him not
- 11:05Speaker 6: a returner, you don't need that. And receiver either, So
- 11:09Speaker 6: Turpin I wouldn't imagine him to play, and Tolbert too.
- 11:12Speaker 6: I mean, I think you're gonna see a lot of
- 11:15Speaker 6: Mingo in Flinoy and then some of these other guys
- 11:18Speaker 6: are holding and Josh Kelly Cropper and things like that.
- 11:24Speaker 8: Well, I'm just curious. Uh you back home in Dallas,
- 11:29Speaker 8: all right, and we don't we don't keep it up
- 11:32Speaker 8: in uh man, Let's get the thing rock.
- 11:34Speaker 6: And roll, all right, man, appreciate it, Thank you for
- 11:36Speaker 6: the call, Thank you for coming out, Davian. All right,
- 11:38Speaker 6: let's go. Let's keep it going back to Kansas City
- 11:41Speaker 6: where we got I don't I don't know why. But
- 11:43Speaker 6: it seems like every time Brian and Kansas City calls Casey,
- 11:46Speaker 6: Joe also calls so a c Joe, what's up many today?
- 11:51Speaker 6: I'm doing good.
- 11:53Speaker 10: I owe you an apology. I called you Chris by
- 11:55Speaker 10: accident on the way out because he was saying I
- 11:57Speaker 10: had to rush the other day because he had, you know,
- 12:00Speaker 10: that meeting and thinking about that.
- 12:02Speaker 6: It's no did your nick I was?
- 12:05Speaker 10: It was I just made a mistake the other day.
- 12:09Speaker 6: That wasn't What was funny. What was funny is that
- 12:11Speaker 6: three people in a row did the exact same thing
- 12:14Speaker 6: to the point where I was confused with what my
- 12:17Speaker 6: name was. And I was just gonna roll with it.
- 12:18Speaker 6: You know, at this point of camp, I don't really care,
- 12:20Speaker 6: you know what I mean. As long as you're calling
- 12:22Speaker 6: me something that that we can put on the air
- 12:24Speaker 6: and not and not have to bleep it out, I'm fine.
- 12:26Speaker 6: It doesn't matter.
- 12:29Speaker 10: Hey, I want to know what kind of special meals
- 12:30Speaker 10: your mom's making for Randy, because I mean, she's making.
- 12:33Speaker 6: A hungry over here, you know.
- 12:34Speaker 9: And it sounds like she's a pretty good cook.
- 12:37Speaker 6: Yeah, she definitely is. And and and her mom was
- 12:39Speaker 6: a really great cook too, And the whole family, and
- 12:43Speaker 6: so they got some great recipes, and yeah, I have
- 12:46Speaker 6: no idea what it is, but I can promise it's
- 12:48Speaker 6: gonna be good. It's gonna be real good. For sure.
- 12:50Speaker 6: It makes me miss it too, So I bet it does.
- 12:53Speaker 10: I bet it does. What I was thinking about was,
- 12:56Speaker 10: do you think that Toya might take Smith's job or
- 13:00Speaker 10: make him second string and put Toya out there because
- 13:02Speaker 10: he's a little bigger and he's a little more bulkier
- 13:04Speaker 10: on the defensive line.
- 13:06Speaker 6: I don't think anything's off the table. I really don't.
- 13:09Speaker 6: I mean, there's no this at this point. It's no
- 13:11Speaker 6: more first round pick versus seventh round pick, rookie, third
- 13:14Speaker 6: year guys. Nope, nope. It's who can play. Who's gonna
- 13:20Speaker 6: who is gonna stop that the run and let those
- 13:23Speaker 6: linebackers fly to the football, And if it ends up
- 13:25Speaker 6: being Toya, then it is. I mean that that's what
- 13:29Speaker 6: it was. I mean, Jay Ratliffe was a seventh round
- 13:32Speaker 6: defensive tackle and he took a little bit to get
- 13:34Speaker 6: in there, but once he did, he was the better
- 13:36Speaker 6: option over anyone else, Jason Ferguson or Brooks or I'm
- 13:40Speaker 6: trying to Kenyon Coleman. I'm just going way back, but
- 13:42Speaker 6: I'm just thinking, I don't think it matters when you're
- 13:45Speaker 6: talking about who who can play and who can help me.
- 13:48Speaker 6: I'd be a little surprised, always surprised. If a seventh
- 13:51Speaker 6: round pick is better than your first round pick who's
- 13:54Speaker 6: in his third year, that's surprising, but it's not unheard of.
- 13:57Speaker 6: And if Ja Toya is the best option, then he's
- 13:59Speaker 6: the best opt.
- 14:01Speaker 10: True and and with and with with the new coaching,
- 14:04Speaker 10: they don't have favorites right now. They're just trying to
- 14:06Speaker 10: figure out who's best for them.
- 14:07Speaker 6: They shouldn't, yeah, they they shouldn't. I mean everybody has
- 14:10Speaker 6: pet cats and stuff like that. But but I don't
- 14:13Speaker 6: think that they're going to have holdover favorites, you know,
- 14:16Speaker 6: I mean like guys that were drafted a couple of
- 14:19Speaker 6: years ago. This you know, this staff is new, but
- 14:22Speaker 6: everyone does it. I mean, everyone has their guys, especially
- 14:24Speaker 6: the guys that they brought in in this and in
- 14:26Speaker 6: this case, guys that they drafted. I think it's pretty
- 14:29Speaker 6: much a clean slate.
- 14:31Speaker 2: That's cool.
- 14:32Speaker 10: Well, I don't have much and other people trying to
- 14:34Speaker 10: get in, so I thank you for taking my call.
- 14:35Speaker 1: And have a wonderful weekend.
- 14:36Speaker 6: Thanks man too.
- 14:37Speaker 10: But what number do we call on when you're back
- 14:41Speaker 10: in Dalla? Do we go back to the other number?
- 14:43Speaker 10: Not the storyline?
- 14:44Speaker 6: I believe number? I believe, so I'll I'll have that
- 14:47Speaker 6: information for you when we come out of the break.
- 14:49Speaker 6: Christ is on the phone right now. When we come
- 14:50Speaker 6: out of the break, I'll make sure give all the
- 14:53Speaker 6: instructions on that.
- 14:54Speaker 10: Thanks, be good, because I don't want to call the
- 14:56Speaker 10: wrong number, of.
- 14:56Speaker 6: Course, of course not all right, bye, all right, see,
- 15:02Speaker 6: all right, So thanks for the call, Casey Joe. A
- 15:07Speaker 6: couple of callers over there from Kansas City, of course.
- 15:09Speaker 6: That's that's where we've seen the most success in the
- 15:12Speaker 6: NFL in the last you know what, eight years, ten years,
- 15:16Speaker 6: I mean, with with that combination of quarterback and head coach,
- 15:20Speaker 6: and that's been the standard. They haven't always won the
- 15:22Speaker 6: Super Bowl, but they've been there a lot, They've been
- 15:24Speaker 6: the championship a lot, and that's kind of where you
- 15:27Speaker 6: want to be. I'm glad we have some cowboy fans though,
- 15:29Speaker 6: still right there in Kansas City, because I guarantee those
- 15:32Speaker 6: fans are hot and heavy about the Chiefs, and rightfully so.
- 15:35Speaker 6: I mean that's that's like I said, that's been the standard.
- 15:39Speaker 6: All right, we'll switch it up here. We got Chris
- 15:41Speaker 6: and Sarato Saratoga Springs. Chris is next. Hey, Nick man,
- 15:48Speaker 6: how you doing?
- 15:50Speaker 9: Not too bad though, you know, just watching the ponies
- 15:52Speaker 9: as much as.
- 15:55Speaker 6: How are they running?
- 15:55Speaker 8: Man?
- 15:56Speaker 6: They running good?
- 15:57Speaker 9: Oh, it's outstanding. It's been a eight meet so far
- 16:00Speaker 9: that I'm gonna you know, I'll be there for the
- 16:03Speaker 9: travers on the twenty third of August, which will be fantastic.
- 16:06Speaker 9: Probably be about forty thousand there at the at the track,
- 16:09Speaker 9: so it'll be it'll be pretty fun for sure.
- 16:11Speaker 6: That's awesome. Sounds like a SuperFect the type of day.
- 16:15Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
- 16:18Speaker 9: A couple of questions. The wide receiver battles for like
- 16:22Speaker 9: the fifth and sixth spot he did, House Flunner. How's
- 16:27Speaker 9: Ryan doing? I mean, he's been real quiet. I haven't
- 16:29Speaker 9: heard much of him. I mean I heard more about
- 16:31Speaker 9: the you know, restrict of free agent holding than Ryan Flunna.
- 16:35Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, he every time I look up, I
- 16:41Speaker 6: feel like he's making a play nineteen. I'm ILINOI I
- 16:44Speaker 6: mean he he's pretty good. I mean I think he's
- 16:47Speaker 6: having a pretty good camp. I mean, I think he'll
- 16:50Speaker 6: play a lot tomorrow. And that's one thing about Flinoy,
- 16:53Speaker 6: if you remember, sorry, if you remember last year training
- 16:56Speaker 6: camp kind of just okay, you know, and and the
- 17:00Speaker 6: practices and look like a rookie from Southeast Missouri State.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Then the first game, if I remember correctly, I think
- 17:08Speaker 6: he dropped a pass against the Rams and it's okay,
- 17:10Speaker 6: looks like the moment was a little too big for him.
- 17:12Speaker 6: And then the next game was Raiders maybe Vegas scores
- 17:17Speaker 6: a touchdown, had a couple of nice catches. Next game
- 17:20Speaker 6: was against the Chargers at home with Trey Lance playing line.
- 17:23Speaker 6: I think he had another touchdown. So I think with him,
- 17:27Speaker 6: I think when the lights come on, and I think
- 17:29Speaker 6: he's kind of become a little bit of a gamer,
- 17:31Speaker 6: so I wouldn't be down on him. I think that's
- 17:34Speaker 6: gonna be a tough, tough battle between Jalen Brooks and
- 17:38Speaker 6: Flinoy and croppers done okay and you know, and bingo
- 17:42Speaker 6: and then and then they're gonna have to make decision
- 17:44Speaker 6: on what they Maybe maybe they do move on from
- 17:47Speaker 6: somebody that that's a veteran, and maybe they make a
- 17:49Speaker 6: trade there if they're trying to add a position, you know,
- 17:51Speaker 6: and that I mean, it's always scary to me because
- 17:55Speaker 6: you know they're gonna want Tolbert, and I don't know
- 17:59Speaker 6: if I want to part ways with that. You know,
- 18:01Speaker 6: you get an injury at receiver, you certainly wouldn't mind
- 18:05Speaker 6: throwing Tolbert in there as as your starter or your
- 18:08Speaker 6: second guy, or you know, or something like that. So
- 18:11Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know if that's a depth
- 18:12Speaker 6: I want to mess with, right.
- 18:15Speaker 9: What about bringing back Malie Davis running back for some depth?
- 18:19Speaker 2: Is he?
- 18:19Speaker 9: Is he still out there?
- 18:22Speaker 6: It's interesting, very a very interesting dilemma there, Chris. I
- 18:27Speaker 6: did say that the Cowboys were probably going to bring
- 18:29Speaker 6: a running back in the back that you've heard of,
- 18:32Speaker 6: So not saying anything, but that's not terrible at all.
- 18:36Speaker 6: That's not a thing. I like what you're thinking there,
- 18:38Speaker 6: you know what I mean. You take that, you take
- 18:41Speaker 6: that mindset and apply it to the to the ponies
- 18:44Speaker 6: that you're betting on, you know what I mean, and
- 18:45Speaker 6: you might have a you might have a good good show.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Not to say that you're betting, I don't know. I'm
- 18:50Speaker 6: just saying you probably just go out there for the
- 18:52Speaker 6: for the fun entertainment. Oh no, no, okay, all right, cool, well, well,
- 18:58Speaker 6: not bad, not bad at all. I think that that
- 19:03Speaker 6: definitely could happen. I think that's probably the route that
- 19:06Speaker 6: they're going to go as far as a running back position. Right,
- 19:10Speaker 6: all right, thanks Chris, appreciate the calls. Welcome, and then
- 19:14Speaker 6: let's see we have time for another call. Let's go
- 19:17Speaker 6: one more before we go to break. Whoa man, it's
- 19:19Speaker 6: been a while, been a minute, Travis san Antonio, what's
- 19:22Speaker 6: up man?
- 19:23Speaker 5: What is going on?
- 19:24Speaker 10: How you doing good?
- 19:25Speaker 6: How are you doing?
- 19:27Speaker 5: I'm good. I just took a little hiatus. I got
- 19:29Speaker 5: off the Twitter train X whatever you want to call it.
- 19:32Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna get back on there. But it's literally
- 19:34Speaker 5: just gonna be for to keep in contact with the group.
- 19:37Speaker 5: Shout out to all them. I'm glad to see them
- 19:38Speaker 5: make it out there.
- 19:40Speaker 7: I was supposed to.
- 19:41Speaker 5: But maybe next year will be my thing. It will
- 19:43Speaker 5: grow the group a little bit. But I am sitting
- 19:45Speaker 5: working in my office in my storyline T shirt and
- 19:47Speaker 5: I have my mug filled with water, so I'm good
- 19:50Speaker 5: to go.
- 19:50Speaker 6: Nice, nice, nice, that's good.
- 19:52Speaker 5: But yeah, so I just wanted to call say, the
- 19:56Speaker 5: coverage has been great so far for training camp, all
- 19:59Speaker 5: the lives and everything, but watching all those it's all
- 20:01Speaker 5: been awesome, So shouts everybody, and all the show's been
- 20:03Speaker 5: I've been keeping tabs on it. I've been removed, but still,
- 20:06Speaker 5: you know, keeping tabs. But I wanted to let you know.
- 20:08Speaker 5: I think you're talking kind of about like what are
- 20:09Speaker 5: we looking for tomorrow? The thing I'm looking for most
- 20:13Speaker 5: is we've got and I know Solomon Thomas isn't a
- 20:17Speaker 5: small dude. He's a yoked up dude, but he's a
- 20:20Speaker 5: smaller DT and we've seemed to be kind of going
- 20:22Speaker 5: smaller with the interior line. And I'll be the first
- 20:25Speaker 5: one I tell you, you know, because you know in
- 20:26Speaker 5: the Michigan guy Mazi has not been great and has
- 20:31Speaker 5: definitely not live up to what I thought he was
- 20:33Speaker 5: going to be. At this point, all can change, but
- 20:35Speaker 5: it's not looking great there. I know Toyota had a
- 20:37Speaker 5: rough It sounds like he had a rough scrimmage. So
- 20:40Speaker 5: the thing I want to look at most tomorrow or yeah, tomorrow,
- 20:43Speaker 5: is how Everflus' scheme, because he's been preaching like it's
- 20:48Speaker 5: eleven guys, and I know I just said Mazzi hasn't
- 20:50Speaker 5: been great, But we focus so much on the interior
- 20:53Speaker 5: we can't forget about like when corners don't want to tackle,
- 20:56Speaker 5: like you can't have soft edges like the run defense.
- 20:58Speaker 5: I think is scheme can work, but I want to
- 21:01Speaker 5: see eleven guys, you know, filling hole like run, supporting
- 21:05Speaker 5: like like making sure that they're debating the run as
- 21:09Speaker 5: a unit is what I want to see. So that's
- 21:11Speaker 5: my biggest thing. And I'll let you go and think
- 21:13Speaker 5: of that. But shout out to you and Chris, guys
- 21:15Speaker 5: doing a great job.
- 21:17Speaker 6: Enjoyed talking to you. I appreciate it. Thank you, Travis.
- 21:19Speaker 6: That's a two time All Storyline Team participant there, and
- 21:25Speaker 6: I hadn't hadn't heard from him this offseason, so I'm
- 21:27Speaker 6: glad to hear from you. Glad that I mean. And
- 21:30Speaker 6: that's what happens a lot too. I mean, you kind
- 21:32Speaker 6: of get you get geared up and take a little break,
- 21:35Speaker 6: especially after the season that the Cowboys had last year.
- 21:38Speaker 6: Frustrations and I don't know all the situation. I'm just
- 21:40Speaker 6: saying that people sometimes you take a little break from it,
- 21:44Speaker 6: you know, But football season is a vicious cycle. We
- 21:48Speaker 6: just keep turning, turning and get back around again, and
- 21:51Speaker 6: here we are and so kind of sucks us all
- 21:53Speaker 6: back in. I'm guilty of it too. It's awesome that
- 21:56Speaker 6: wouldn't want it any other way. You're right about the
- 21:59Speaker 6: defensive time position, especially with Mazzi. He hasn't taken that
- 22:02Speaker 6: step that you wanted him to. You know, you want
- 22:05Speaker 6: the first round pick to come in and be good,
- 22:07Speaker 6: right right, then have a little bit of you know me,
- 22:10Speaker 6: it's probably gonna be a little bit of growing pains,
- 22:11Speaker 6: but by the end of the year, you know you
- 22:14Speaker 6: got something. The next year you take off what you want.
- 22:17Speaker 6: When you're picking like they're in the twenties, is is
- 22:20Speaker 6: I mean, look at what the Tyler Smith trajectory was.
- 22:25Speaker 6: I mean, like pretty good to start. He started at
- 22:28Speaker 6: left tackle. You know, there's gonna be some grown pains
- 22:30Speaker 6: that he had some penalties issues, but he was pretty
- 22:34Speaker 6: good for a rookie playing left tackle. The next year
- 22:37Speaker 6: they moved him back to the guard, where you know,
- 22:39Speaker 6: a little bit more of a natural position makes it
- 22:41Speaker 6: all pro. And then he does it again. That's the
- 22:44Speaker 6: kind of stuff that you're looking for in that kind
- 22:47Speaker 6: of pick. And we just haven't even seen anything close
- 22:49Speaker 6: to that yet, any kind of consistency out of Mazie.
- 22:52Speaker 6: So it's got to happen for sure. All right, let's
- 22:54Speaker 6: let's take a break real quick here on the Cowboys storyline.
- 22:57Speaker 6: I know we have two callers holding, will be right back.
- 23:00Speaker 6: Care On Cowboy storyline, we.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Got big personalities. We got big hair, big bell buckles.

- 24:49Speaker 6: back here on Cowboys Storyline. Our final show from here
- 24:53Speaker 6: from Aux, our final storyline show. Next week there will
- 24:56Speaker 6: be a couple more shows from out here. I believe Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
- 25:03Speaker 6: is that right, Chris? And then Wednesday they pack it up.
- 25:05Speaker 6: They'll be leaving on Thursday. We'll have some shows back
- 25:07Speaker 6: at the Star as well. We've had some already, uh
- 25:10Speaker 6: some of the shows from their players lounge, hanging with
- 25:14Speaker 6: the boys. I think Boys Girls Talk Boys Talker has
- 25:18Speaker 6: been back there, and then a cowboy storyline will have
- 25:20Speaker 6: two shows next week as well, I believe, or Tuesday
- 25:23Speaker 6: and Wednesday, if I remember correctly on the schedule. As
- 25:26Speaker 6: for the phone line that I was, I was, I
- 25:28Speaker 6: told you i'd get that information on. Of course I
- 25:30Speaker 6: went through the whole break and forgot to ask Chris.
- 25:32Speaker 6: But going back to the new number, going back to
- 25:34Speaker 6: what we had before, the old the old regular number
- 25:37Speaker 6: will be the one calling you'll be able to call
- 25:39Speaker 6: from there. So uh yeah, back to back to back
- 25:42Speaker 6: to normal. Maybe not next week because I need I
- 25:46Speaker 6: need Chris being there to be normal. Uh So we'll
- 25:49Speaker 6: see what kind of growing pains we have. I think
- 25:51Speaker 6: we'll get through it. But once we get a little
- 25:53Speaker 6: bit closer, then it'll be we'll do. I think it's
- 25:56Speaker 6: gonna be three shows a week, and then before you
- 25:58Speaker 6: know it, we'll be at five a week, which means
- 26:02Speaker 6: pretty much like forty shows for the week for the
- 26:06Speaker 6: entire lineup. And so that's when that's when Chris gets
- 26:09Speaker 6: really really busy. Right now, we're just ramping up, just
- 26:13Speaker 6: like the players are. As you can kind of see
- 26:15Speaker 6: behind a little walk through getting ready for the game
- 26:17Speaker 6: tomorrow against the Rams. All right, let's go to the
- 26:20Speaker 6: phone line with Cowboy Nico in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Nico,
- 26:26Speaker 6: what's up, hey, Nick?
- 26:28Speaker 1: How you doing a long time no chat?
- 26:30Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 26:30Speaker 6: Man, how are you?
- 26:32Speaker 9: I'm all right.
- 26:33Speaker 1: I switched careers, so I'm doing all right. I left
- 26:35Speaker 1: law enforcement and now I'm taking out your guys's trash.
- 26:41Speaker 1: It's a big change anyway.
- 26:44Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Was thinking about something and you've made this comment before,
- 26:50Speaker 1: and I totally spaced. I was at that game. You
- 26:54Speaker 1: have talked about your favorite kickoff return evert mister Woody
- 26:59Speaker 1: Dan's We're jumping down the sideline the hop You've talked
- 27:02Speaker 1: about it, right, we all know it. We also lost
- 27:06Speaker 1: that game, which sucks because here's why it sucked. It
- 27:08Speaker 1: was my eighteenth birthday and all I wanted was the
- 27:12Speaker 1: Cowboys to beat the freaking forty nine ers, which we
- 27:15Speaker 1: didn't do. And I wanted to see EMMITTT Smith score touchdown,
- 27:19Speaker 1: which he did. Happened to be right where I was sitting,
- 27:21Speaker 1: which was cool. Unfortunately for the guy in front of me.
- 27:25Speaker 1: He had just had rotator cuff surgery and I jumped
- 27:28Speaker 1: and screamed as lot as I em it's my guy,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and I knocked his arm.
- 27:33Speaker 7: So yeah, there's a story for you.
- 27:37Speaker 1: But the reason I talk about this Woody Dan's alur thing,
- 27:41Speaker 1: and you're right, it was great. But I have a
- 27:43Speaker 1: bold prediction. I believe Cavante Turpin is going to one
- 27:49Speaker 1: up that kickoff.
- 27:50Speaker 7: Return this year.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Mark my words. I really believe Turpin's gonna take off,
- 27:56Speaker 1: not just even in special teams, but as we know,
- 27:58Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of stuff out there now. But
- 28:01Speaker 1: I really think this year Turpin Wind's up mister Damsler's
- 28:06Speaker 1: beautiful button.
- 28:09Speaker 2: I just think it's I think it's kind of cool.
- 28:11Speaker 1: What do you think I'm at.
- 28:12Speaker 6: I think that there's no way that you're far that
- 28:15Speaker 6: you're far off from this prediction, because one could argue
- 28:19Speaker 6: he already has. I mean, if and Derek and I
- 28:23Speaker 6: were there for the for the Woody Danceler play, and
- 28:25Speaker 6: we've always said that that's one of the greatest individual
- 28:28Speaker 6: plays of all time, regardless of what happened in the game.
- 28:30Speaker 6: And what kind of season it was and all that.
- 28:32Speaker 6: Just from play to play it was it was outstanding. Well,
- 28:35Speaker 6: where does turping against Washington stand. I mean, we're talking
- 28:39Speaker 6: about a game winning play. It didn't have all of
- 28:42Speaker 6: the elements, but it had the spin move that you
- 28:46Speaker 6: haven't seen since like Madden ninety five Sega Genesis. I mean,
- 28:50Speaker 6: it was unbelievable. And then the speedbird right, I mean
- 28:53Speaker 6: he hit he hit the spin and then like the
- 28:55Speaker 6: R two speedburst for the game winning touchdown. It's hard
- 28:59Speaker 6: to be I'm telling you. As much as I love
- 29:02Speaker 6: the Woody Danceler playing, and I still it's it's up there.
- 29:06Speaker 6: And we're doing a documentary that I'll go into detail
- 29:08Speaker 6: here in a little bit that that includes that play.
- 29:11Speaker 6: But when you're talking about outstanding plays, turping that the
- 29:17Speaker 6: game winner, I mean that that a little sort of.
- 29:19Speaker 6: I mean, it was kind of a weird, what a
- 29:20Speaker 6: weird game, But but for him to make that play
- 29:24Speaker 6: in that moment, man, it's it's up there. It's one
- 29:27Speaker 6: of the best kick returns by far in in Cowboys history,
- 29:31Speaker 6: if not the best.
- 29:33Speaker 1: So I agree, I agree. I just remember Woody Danswer
- 29:36Speaker 1: brought us back in that game like we were. We
- 29:39Speaker 1: were getting the crap kicked out of us, and then
- 29:41Speaker 1: danswere does that and I thought, oh my god, we're
- 29:44Speaker 1: gonna actually do this. Yeah, and we didn't listen before.
- 29:47Speaker 9: I let you go.
- 29:49Speaker 1: First thing to mister Bean, congratulations beating CD and you
- 29:54Speaker 1: do get your name beam Bag. I'm kicking it. I
- 29:58Speaker 1: think it's awesome and I'm looking ordered to see as
- 30:01Speaker 1: a rocker. I really do. But my question I want
- 30:04Speaker 1: you to elaborate on can you elaborate a little bit
- 30:07Speaker 1: more on your feeling with the DBS.
- 30:09Speaker 9: I know we've been.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Hearing it's not good. Can you elaborate anymore on Diggs?
- 30:15Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on? Anyways, that's all I got.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Let's get Let's go cowboys.
- 30:20Speaker 6: All right, thanks man, There's lots unpacked there, I get.
- 30:24Speaker 6: I'm assuming the last show we talked about Chris beam
- 30:29Speaker 6: with the being back in the last show. Okay, yeah,
- 30:34Speaker 6: it was pretty awesome by the way. I mean that
- 30:36Speaker 6: that was great. I got some cool videos and I'll
- 30:41Speaker 6: tell you what though, I'll give I'll give credit down.
- 30:43Speaker 6: Chris beam Is is really really good at at Cornwall.
- 30:47Speaker 6: I mean he's about as good. I haven't seen anyone
- 30:50Speaker 6: really better. But CD. I'll give him credit though. I mean,
- 30:55Speaker 6: he went in there and did a nice job and
- 30:57Speaker 6: he won one of the games. I couldn't believe he won.
- 30:59Speaker 6: So it was like a five game series Chris one
- 31:01Speaker 6: four to one. But I didn't really seen anyone beat him,
- 31:05Speaker 6: and so that that was good and just kind of
- 31:07Speaker 6: goes to show what kind of great athletes these guys are.
- 31:10Speaker 6: But and you know, he's a good I think as
- 31:14Speaker 6: Chris A. He's a really good basketball player. CD is
- 31:16Speaker 6: and so you know, you're talking about having hand eye
- 31:19Speaker 6: coordination and figuring it out and he kind of did.
- 31:22Speaker 6: And then but he's competitive too. Like what's funny is
- 31:25Speaker 6: that it doesn't matter what it is. Brian Schottenheimer's mantra
- 31:30Speaker 6: with we've seen on a T shirt, we've seen on
- 31:32Speaker 6: you know, posters and stuff signs is compete every day.
- 31:36Speaker 6: And that's exactly what happened. Well, he's competing every day.
- 31:40Speaker 6: It was. It was cool. I was, I was. I
- 31:42Speaker 6: was kind of sweating though for Chris a little bit,
- 31:43Speaker 6: because you know, he once once people started watching and
- 31:46Speaker 6: taking videos and pressure was mounting and CD was coming back,
- 31:49Speaker 6: but he did he held his own and he it
- 31:52Speaker 6: was good. It was that was fun to watch. As
- 31:54Speaker 6: for football stuff here, sorry got it off on tangent.
- 31:59Speaker 6: The cornerback was Yeah, that's a problem right now because
- 32:02Speaker 6: and and I did an interview with Stephen Jones and
- 32:06Speaker 6: I asked him, you know, I don't know if you
- 32:07Speaker 6: want to get into any kind of problem areas. You know,
- 32:10Speaker 6: at this point he goes, oh, no, no, I don't
- 32:12Speaker 6: mind doing it. Like you mentioned corner, like, there's no
- 32:15Speaker 6: doubt that the corner, the depth there is a problem
- 32:19Speaker 6: and how could it not be. I mean, there's there's
- 32:21Speaker 6: just as many cornerbacks sitting over there with Britt Brown
- 32:24Speaker 6: rehabbing than there are you know that that are starting
- 32:27Speaker 6: and guys that you expect to play and play well.
- 32:30Speaker 6: I mean, like, I think Elam's done a nice job.
- 32:33Speaker 6: That's been a good surprise of camp. But you know,
- 32:37Speaker 6: Doron Bland's kind of been you know, Doron Bland I
- 32:40Speaker 6: mean he's hasn't been outstanding with a ton of pick sixes,
- 32:44Speaker 6: but he's been solid for sure. After that, there's just
- 32:49Speaker 6: you know, I mean, you've got Kaylen Carson's kind of
- 32:53Speaker 6: been banged up. He was banged up so he's out
- 32:55Speaker 6: right now, you know, then you're looking at who's who's
- 32:57Speaker 6: in the slot. You've got Kemon Hall and Ion Childress
- 33:01Speaker 6: and I mean, but Savone, Revel and Diggs and Josh
- 33:05Speaker 6: Butler are all rehab and so there's a lot. There's
- 33:10Speaker 6: a lot happening there and not enough all at the
- 33:13Speaker 6: same time. I think that that will be a position
- 33:15Speaker 6: that there's no way that the cornerbacks that play against
- 33:19Speaker 6: the Eagles, I don't think there's there's any way that
- 33:23Speaker 6: they're all here. I just I can't see. I can't
- 33:26Speaker 6: see how that's going to be the case. So I
- 33:29Speaker 6: don't know who. I'm not saying that the market is
- 33:31Speaker 6: flooded with great corners, but you gotta do something there,
- 33:35Speaker 6: all right. I alluded to this about Woody Danceler play on.
- 33:40Speaker 6: I know there's been some talk we did our first
- 33:43Speaker 6: deep blue yesterday on the Dirty Dozen. I have not
- 33:47Speaker 6: gotten a chance to see that yet, so I'm anxious
- 33:49Speaker 6: to see that. About the twelve draft picks from the
- 33:52Speaker 6: nineteen seventy five, it's been fifty years since they drafted.
- 33:55Speaker 6: Of course, the draft was a lot bigger than but
- 33:57Speaker 6: twelve draft picks they all made the team the dirty
- 34:00Speaker 6: doesn't and not only that. You know, and rookies can
- 34:02Speaker 6: make the team, but usually that means you're not very good.
- 34:05Speaker 6: That team made the Super Bowl. Uh lost in the
- 34:08Speaker 6: Super Bowl to Pittsburgh, but it was a good, good
- 34:10Speaker 6: team and Randy White was the headliner there, Hollywood Henderson,
- 34:13Speaker 6: some other really good players from that team. So I
- 34:17Speaker 6: know that they've been working some late hours to get
- 34:19Speaker 6: that done. I haven't seen it yet, but I I
- 34:22Speaker 6: can't wait to watch that, and then the and then
- 34:25Speaker 6: the next documentary will be The Wall two point oh
- 34:28Speaker 6: and that that will be on the offensive line with
- 34:32Speaker 6: the main three of Zach Martin, Travis Frederick, Tyron Smith.
- 34:35Speaker 6: They all sat down and talked and I'll tell you
- 34:37Speaker 6: that that's gonna be phenomenal. And then the one that
- 34:39Speaker 6: I'm really working on the most that I that I
- 34:42Speaker 6: helped write the script for is is called Coach Joe.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Simply put Joe Avazano Special Teams coach way more than that,
- 34:50Speaker 6: and we're really getting into who he was as a
- 34:52Speaker 6: as a person, as a coach, as a dad, as
- 34:56Speaker 6: a friend. It's been it's been a lot of fun
- 34:59Speaker 6: to do that, and of course some of the highlights.
- 35:02Speaker 6: You've seeing all these kick returns, and of course I
- 35:03Speaker 6: was his last year the coaching for the Cowboys two
- 35:05Speaker 6: thousand and two, and you know, and of course Woody
- 35:08Speaker 6: Danceler's big play in there. We're seeing some Dion runs
- 35:11Speaker 6: and front backs and it's been it's been a lot
- 35:13Speaker 6: of fun to do that, all right. Sorry, Casey in
- 35:16Speaker 6: La has been holding for a long time, Casey, what's
- 35:18Speaker 6: going on? Man?
- 35:20Speaker 4: Nick, I've actually been holding since after the draft. Couldn't
- 35:23Speaker 4: get in the few weeks afterwards. So I really need
- 35:26Speaker 4: you to get back to those five shows a week. Yes,
- 35:28Speaker 4: so we could get in because I could ramble.
- 35:30Speaker 6: For about an hour. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 35:34Speaker 4: CD and anything that's classic.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Hey, compete every day, compete every day, and he certainly did.
- 35:42Speaker 4: I mentioned it coach Joe. Just seeing that wild, crazed
- 35:45Speaker 4: look on the sidelines classic that's gonna be off.
- 35:50Speaker 6: It's been so fun to go down that road. And
- 35:54Speaker 6: you know, and a lot of people don't know this,
- 35:56Speaker 6: but I actually I went to college with his son, Tony,
- 35:59Speaker 6: and so well I actually covered him when he played
- 36:02Speaker 6: basketball for the team, so I've kind of known him
- 36:05Speaker 6: for a long time. And and we we tell a
- 36:08Speaker 6: story about a game where coach Joe was there and
- 36:11Speaker 6: Troy Aitman showed up at the game, and that was
- 36:14Speaker 6: pretty wild. There probably one of the coolest things ever
- 36:17Speaker 6: happened to our you know, to our school there at
- 36:19Speaker 6: the Missue. But anyways, go ahead, Casey, what do you got?
- 36:23Speaker 4: You know, everybody said, it's been thirty years, which you have.
- 36:26Speaker 4: But in that time, there's been at least three teams
- 36:28Speaker 4: in my mind that could have got to the super Bowl. Obviously,
- 36:31Speaker 4: the Clayton drop on third down changed that game against
- 36:34Speaker 4: the Giants. In Green Day twenty fourteen, I really felt
- 36:38Speaker 4: like it was the DeMarco fumble early bigger than the
- 36:42Speaker 4: desk kant it even though he did yep.
- 36:44Speaker 6: And then in.
- 36:45Speaker 4: Sixteen I think if Romos starting that game, they win it.
- 36:48Speaker 4: But that being said, come back third and twenty give
- 36:52Speaker 4: up the huge play. So it's not like this team
- 36:56Speaker 4: was far from the super Bowl. But that being said,
- 36:59Speaker 4: do you think the black of fear of job security
- 37:04Speaker 4: at the top has become antiquated or GM's need a
- 37:10Speaker 4: little bit of that to make sure they produced kind
- 37:12Speaker 4: of get their teams over the edge, because there's no better.
- 37:17Speaker 7: Job security than being the Jones.
- 37:19Speaker 4: So do you being on the inside, don't wonder that
- 37:21Speaker 4: you think that impacts anything on the way because these
- 37:25Speaker 4: guys are running stuff.
- 37:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I I've heard that that before. And
- 37:31Speaker 6: you know, it comes down to the pressure, you know,
- 37:35Speaker 6: I mean, how do people perform under pressure? Do they
- 37:37Speaker 6: perform better when they're they're in fear, when they're when
- 37:41Speaker 6: you know you I'm sure it goes both ways. I'm
- 37:44Speaker 6: sure there's times where it's like, hey, relax, you're you're good,
- 37:47Speaker 6: You're not going anywhere. Squad and play, you know, And
- 37:49Speaker 6: there's some players that do respond well to that. Some
- 37:53Speaker 6: some respond to I had to. I had to fight
- 37:55Speaker 6: for every single day, every single practice because I thought
- 37:57Speaker 6: I was gonna get cut. And that's what drove me.
- 37:59Speaker 6: I mean, if you heard that story, you're like, wow,
- 38:01Speaker 6: that's awesome. There's other stories and I can name, I
- 38:04Speaker 6: can name Leon let to be another one where he
- 38:07Speaker 6: thought he was gonna get cut. After that he slipped
- 38:09Speaker 6: and fell against Miami and and and and you know,
- 38:12Speaker 6: had a bone bonehead play and Jimmy Johnson said, you're
- 38:15Speaker 6: a great football player, not going anywhere, You're not getting cut.
- 38:19Speaker 6: Just calm down, relax and do what you need to do.
- 38:21Speaker 6: And he had a great career. So everybody responds differently
- 38:25Speaker 6: to that. I can't sit here and say that, Wow,
- 38:27Speaker 6: you know, the reason why they haven't been to a
- 38:30Speaker 6: super Bowl in thirty years is because of job security.
- 38:33Speaker 6: I think it's they haven't been good enough. And why
- 38:36Speaker 6: haven't they been good enough? Are you know? Is it
- 38:39Speaker 6: because they're not getting the right the right players in here,
- 38:41Speaker 6: the right team, the right structure. You know, you can
- 38:44Speaker 6: there's been a lot of things. There's been a lot
- 38:46Speaker 6: of things for that, I you know, for not not
- 38:51Speaker 6: changing the philosophy on draft and free agency. That's that
- 38:54Speaker 6: would be one criticism that I think that I think
- 38:57Speaker 6: is warranted. Not really changing. I mean, you stick to
- 39:01Speaker 6: the draft, most people do. But I think there's been
- 39:04Speaker 6: times where they can kind of, you know, alter the
- 39:07Speaker 6: approach a little bit and we haven't seen that. I
- 39:11Speaker 6: think that would be fair criticism for sure. And you said, yeah,
- 39:15Speaker 6: I mean, look how close they've been. They've been good
- 39:17Speaker 6: enough to get there, they haven't. They haven't gotten there.
- 39:20Speaker 6: I saw a list the other day on you know,
- 39:25Speaker 6: the last time teams have made it to the Super
- 39:28Speaker 6: Bowl and thirty two teams. You know, the Cowboys are
- 39:31Speaker 6: sitting it. I believe fourteenth. So there's been thirteen teams
- 39:34Speaker 6: that have made it to the Super Bowl.
- 39:37Speaker 2: One.
- 39:37Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I think it's won the Super Bowl won
- 39:40Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. Thirteen teams have won it before the
- 39:42Speaker 6: you know, the Cowboys have. That's you know, eighteen teams
- 39:46Speaker 6: that that's been further longer than the Cowboys, and some
- 39:49Speaker 6: of them never at all. So no one really says
- 39:52Speaker 6: that that one that they like the stat of, well,
- 39:55Speaker 6: Cowboys the last team in the NFC to make it
- 39:57Speaker 6: to the championship game. And the target's always gonna move,
- 40:00Speaker 6: you know, even if you if you win it, if
- 40:01Speaker 6: you go through Bowl, whatever, the target's always gonna gonna
- 40:04Speaker 6: gonna move. But you know, I don't think it's job security.
- 40:08Speaker 6: I just think they haven't been they haven't been good
- 40:11Speaker 6: enough to get over the hump. They haven't had the
- 40:13Speaker 6: quarterback play that that they get you there. And I'm
- 40:17Speaker 6: talking about to get you over the hump, you've got
- 40:19Speaker 6: to be perfect. And I'm watching some of the early
- 40:22Speaker 6: episodes of this documentary that's gonna come out on Netflix.
- 40:25Speaker 6: I'm getting a chance to see that in a preview.
- 40:29Speaker 6: It's on really it's on the nineties Cowboys. It's it's
- 40:32Speaker 6: the closest thing to the Last Dance that I've seen,
- 40:35Speaker 6: and I think fans are gonna absolutely love it. I've
- 40:37Speaker 6: seen a couple of episodes so far footage that I've
- 40:40Speaker 6: never seen, and I thought I've seen it all. When
- 40:42Speaker 6: it comes to the ninety two season, ninety one eighty
- 40:45Speaker 6: nine all that I thought I had seen it all,
- 40:47Speaker 6: and there's a lot of stuff I have never seen.
- 40:49Speaker 6: So if you're a diehard Cowboy fan they can't get
- 40:52Speaker 6: enough stuffy, I think you're gonna enjoy going down that
- 40:54Speaker 6: that road because there's there's footage that just hasn't really
- 40:57Speaker 6: come out yet, so that that's fun to see. But
- 41:00Speaker 6: you know it, you know, I think really my point
- 41:04Speaker 6: of what I'm trying to say is that I just
- 41:05Speaker 6: think you know that the team, that team right there,
- 41:08Speaker 6: Troy Aikman was just so good and got them over
- 41:11Speaker 6: the top, and they haven't had just that kind of
- 41:14Speaker 6: perfectionate quarterback that you have to have in the playoffs.
- 41:17Speaker 6: That's not a knock on Tony your deck, that's just
- 41:20Speaker 6: they're not Troy Aikman, especially not troying the playoffs, and
- 41:23Speaker 6: there's not many players in the NFL that were that good.
- 41:26Speaker 6: I mean, he doesn't get considered as the top five quarterback,
- 41:30Speaker 6: but playoff quarterback, I don't think there's been that many
- 41:33Speaker 6: players better than him. All right, Dylan in Northport, Florida's next. Good?
- 41:39Speaker 6: How are you gotta be quick? Sorry? Bud? Good good,
- 41:42Speaker 6: Good to see you man, and happy birthday? Happy birthday?
- 41:46Speaker 6: Was it two days ago? Wednesday? Oh?
- 41:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate your off the show. Yeah, I'll just.
- 41:54Speaker 4: Go super quick then do your thing.
- 41:56Speaker 2: He's running back, he's running backs. I'm super excited at all,
- 42:00Speaker 2: not from the standpoint of that day, like all stars,
- 42:02Speaker 2: but because it's a super competitive position. There's only a
- 42:05Speaker 2: couple of them I think on the team are super
- 42:07Speaker 2: competitive positions and this is one of them. So you know, unfortunately,
- 42:11Speaker 2: you know my guy do this. He's not I don't
- 42:13Speaker 2: think he's wrong for this team. The injury didn't help
- 42:15Speaker 2: him yet. Miles Sanders, who's hurt as well, But really
- 42:18Speaker 2: MafA hasn't super excited. He looks like a pretty a
- 42:20Speaker 2: pretty big louising back out there, and then obviously drew
- 42:24Speaker 2: whenever he's helping Ready to go. He's I think the
- 42:26Speaker 2: most finantic back, and if he as a rookie, it's
- 42:29Speaker 2: it's a lot to ask of him. But if he
- 42:31Speaker 2: can break out and have a really good rookie season,
- 42:34Speaker 2: I think that's the best chance Dallas has success.
- 42:36Speaker 4: If you look at like a.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Conversation on foreign ceiling, he probably has a lower four
- 42:40Speaker 2: the Williams, but I think he has a higher ceiling too.
- 42:42Speaker 2: It's got a lound of the ball and uh, you know,
- 42:44Speaker 2: we'll see what he can do. But that's why I'll
- 42:46Speaker 2: be keeping my eye on this Saturday, as well as
- 42:48Speaker 2: the defensive line interior and in these cornerbacks.
- 42:51Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt about it. Running back the the tackle, cornerback,
- 42:55Speaker 6: that's where a lot of question marks are. I think
- 42:57Speaker 6: that I think you hit the nail right on the
- 42:58Speaker 6: head there, Dylan. Was so much fun to see you guys,
- 43:02Speaker 6: And also to the fact that you guys organized this
- 43:05Speaker 6: and it started with the spaces there on Twitter, and
- 43:09Speaker 6: the fact that it's kind of led to what it is.
- 43:11Speaker 6: It's just awesome and I appreciate you really for doing that.
- 43:16Speaker 6: All right, Dylan, thank you for the cole. We're going
- 43:17Speaker 6: to take a break one more we got one more caller,
- 43:20Speaker 6: and I think it's one that you guys will enjoy.
- 43:22Speaker 6: We'll be right back after this.

- 44:31Speaker 6: final few minutes here of this show. We got to
- 44:34Speaker 6: kind of move quickly, which is not easy for this
- 44:36Speaker 6: next caller, but we're gonna try. Robin Vegas, what's up, man.
- 44:40Speaker 4: How's everything?
- 44:41Speaker 6: It's good man, good to see you. And I'm glad
- 44:43Speaker 6: you guys were able to make it out and uh so,
- 44:46Speaker 6: I'm glad you got it back safely.
- 44:49Speaker 4: It was great.
- 44:50Speaker 13: And you know, I think the coolest thing was you
- 44:55Speaker 13: made us feel welcomed. It was it was like we
- 44:59Speaker 13: we knew each other, we were friends and we met before.
- 45:01Speaker 7: Yeah, and and.
- 45:03Speaker 13: You're a man of your word, you know, which is
- 45:06Speaker 13: which was also you know people, Yeah, when you come
- 45:08Speaker 13: into town, we'll get together. We'll do to sit. You
- 45:10Speaker 13: know a lot of times it doesn't happen, but everything
- 45:13Speaker 13: you said was going to happen, it did. And it
- 45:16Speaker 13: was just a great time just hanging out. It was
- 45:18Speaker 13: like like I said, like we.
- 45:19Speaker 6: Met, yeah, uh you're talking about the thank you. Thank
- 45:24Speaker 6: you for saying that. By the way I want to.
- 45:25Speaker 6: I know you're gonna talk football, but thank you for
- 45:27Speaker 6: saying that. I think my mom's probably this and she'll
- 45:29Speaker 6: she'll be and my dad, they'll be proud to hear
- 45:31Speaker 6: that that you said that, and my wife as well.
- 45:34Speaker 6: So thanks, thank you so much for saying that.
- 45:37Speaker 13: Absolutely, uh, talking about the team, people always say, oh,
- 45:42Speaker 13: we were good enough to know we weren't. No, and
- 45:45Speaker 13: you need to do it or you don't. I totally
- 45:47Speaker 13: agree with the quarterback play. It has to go to
- 45:51Speaker 13: another level because you're probably going to play against top people.
- 45:56Speaker 13: It's like it's like baseball, you know, it's all about
- 45:59Speaker 13: the pitching in the playoffs, it's not about the home runs.
- 46:05Speaker 13: I think Jimmy was such a huge part of that
- 46:07Speaker 13: because Jimmy was great at evaluating talent and and that's
- 46:12Speaker 13: I think one of the things we're missing. And and
- 46:14Speaker 13: even even in the nineties teams that everybody knows about
- 46:18Speaker 13: how great they were, even Jimmy what the Jimmy said, Hey, listen,
- 46:22Speaker 13: we need we need Charles Harley to get us to
- 46:26Speaker 13: the next level. And I think that's what we haven't
- 46:29Speaker 13: done since then. We have gotten up to the line.
- 46:35Speaker 8: But so far.
- 46:37Speaker 13: Jerry hasn't been willing to go full you know, all
- 46:41Speaker 13: tips in the middle of the table, right, you know.
- 46:44Speaker 13: And and to me, this team is good enough. They
- 46:48Speaker 13: just need some pieces.
- 46:49Speaker 6: You know.
- 46:50Speaker 13: We'll see what happens in preseason. I watched the Raiders
- 46:53Speaker 13: last night. It was just fun watching football.
- 46:55Speaker 6: And now you know it's back all right, all right, Rob,
- 46:58Speaker 6: I appreciate it. Man. We got to get moving to
