  Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's a morning
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: edition here. This is back to actually our normal time
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: during the season, but in the off season we've had
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: to move it today at ten am. But it is Thursday,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: May the sixteenth. A lot going on here. You would
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: think there's there's nothing, but it definitely seems like there's
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: there's a lot because there is. There's a schedule came
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: out yesterday. Players are trying to practice of some of
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: the their off season conditioning and they have a little
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: bit of practices. We'll have some OTAs next week and
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: then this place is kind of being taken over by
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: the ACM Awards. Is that right? ACM Awards, the Country
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Music Awards CMAS. That's what it is. Sorry, CMAS. One
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: of those a something Academy of Country Music. I mean
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: they're too close. But I won't be at either one
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: of them, but yeah, they'll they'll be here tonight. It
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: should be a good time. Reba McIntyre is hosting that one,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: so good times with that I'm sure you'll see some
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: some cowboy love at some point on the stage there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Jerry or Dak or both will
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: be out there for that. All right, all right, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: the big I think the biggest news was the schedule
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: release coming out yesterday. It's a schedule. It's hard to
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: actually say, all right, it looks good, it looks bad,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: it's this is gonna be hard, this is not, but
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: it seems favorable. There's some things I like about it. Sometimes,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: you know, you look at the schedule, you look at
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: it for personal reasons. You're like, all right, what does
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Christmas look like? And you know what cold wet their
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: games and places you've never been to and what time
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: of the year you're going to go and all that
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff. But you know, just from a team
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: aspectm you know, it's we knew it was going to
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: be challenging. Anytime you win your division and you play
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: three first place teams and then you play the toughest
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: you're playing the only division uh in in the league
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: that that had every team with a winning record, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that was the AFC North, So you knew that was
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: going to be tough too. And they're all on here,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: But the way it's laid out, I don't think it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: too daunting. Uh, there's some rough patches, it seems, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: then there's some also some some parts in it that
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys can can you know, have some success.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So anyways, well we'll talk about it as the show
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: goes on. Eight eight, eight, eight, five, five two two
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: nine seven is the number to call or text at
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine to eight.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I think this might be the day to get on
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the lines. Uh, should be open and clear. We had
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: That's what happens when you change the schedule like this,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: So hopefully we will be able to have maybe some
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: new callers on here. But all right, let's start it off.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: We got Dom and Odessa.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Hey Nate, how you doing?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Good? Are you good? What's up there?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Man? Now? I just wanted to call. I tried to call.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Like you said, the lines are usually cocked up a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: while back. Yeah, But anyway, as far as the schedule goes,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they were going to put the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Texans as a Pine Time game. I was looking at that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be more of a Pine Time match.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I know it's going to be Monday night, but I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was seeing Sunday night, you know, I thought that would
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: be a Sunday night type game. Kind of kind of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: messed up my plans. I wanted to go for the weekend.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, we'll see if we can work it out. Yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but I think that that's going to be a good matchup.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But uh, I had a question for you. I wanted
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to get your input as far as the Dak. You know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the whole DAK thing are thinking a little want and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: if so, I thought that they were going to beef
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: up Trey Lance's workload. What do you think that has
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to do it? They're gonna put a fire under Dak
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: or what are your thoughts on that? I bet you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: answered that all right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Well, thanks for the call. I don't really know if
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: they're going to let him walk or not. I mean,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I think this is what happens. The season is gonna
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: affect everything. I'm not sure what you've heard about Trey
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Lance getting more work more work in the preseason. Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Remember DAK hasn't played a preseason snapped since twenty nineteen,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: so they didn't have any games in twenty twenty, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: then he got hurt that season was coming off the injury,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: so he didn't play it in twenty twenty one and
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: then he hasn't played once since, so he's not playing
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: any preseason games. You can try to get Cooper Rush ready.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, he kind of know what he is, so
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: he can get some reps, but you don't know what
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: you have in Trey Lance, so it doesn't make sense
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to really play anybody else. That's I think what's happening
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: with the more workload. So that's that's where you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: and you'll see him get get some some a lot
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of reps there. So that's that's I think in none
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: only for the Cowboys, but for the rest of the league.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: They kind of see what he is because you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: if something happens and another team and some quarterback gets
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: hurt like we saw last year with the Vikings and
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins and they ended up making a trade, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you know with the Cardinals for Dobbs, something like that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: could happen for a team if if they see they
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: like what they see in Trey Lance in the preseason,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: or maybe the Cowboys want to keep I mean, there's
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: just a lot of options, but right now, not that
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: many people know what he's able to do, and that's
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: because he hasn't played a lot. So this is this
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: is kind of a this will be an an audition
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: for him for all the teams really, and that's what
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I think is going to happen there. Now, going back
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to the first part of the question about the schedule
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the Texans, I haven't seen their schedule. I don't know
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: if they if they have Sunday night games, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know if they're there yet. I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: that's if that's this respectful. Oh well, but you know
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: they you know, Monday night game. That seems good for them,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: you know, And then that's gonna be a good matchup.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's they're they're you know, a good young team.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: It looks like they they've got some some good players.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Then they they've added some so they've built on it
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: seems like they have built off of the success that
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: they had last year. And their quarterbacks only probably gonna
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: get better into his second year. And so they you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be a tough matchup, you know, and they
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: always you know, want to come up to Dallas and
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: and show that you know, they're they're you know a
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: good worthy opponent of being a rival. I don't think
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys consider them rivals, but they could definitely consider
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys rivals. And that's what happens all the time
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: when you haven't won anything. But all right, so that
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: that should be a fun matchup. That it will be
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: plenty of them on the schedule, and we'll talk about
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: it as we continue to move on. If phone lines
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: are open eight A A eight five five to two
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: nine seven. We have some texts questions, though, let's let's
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: get that rolling. This is from Pete in Oregon. I'd
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: like to know the guy's opinion. This is probably from
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the last show, but that's a right, I'll take it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: The guy's opinion on Sam Williams playing some linebacker. I
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: think I think he's a unless they're gonna move to
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: A three four, which I have not heard that, But
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I think he's a defensive end. That's that's what he
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: needs to be playing. I think he needs to be
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: rushing the quarterback from the defensive end position. That there
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: will be some variables if that's what Zimmer has done
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: in the past, and that's what he does this year,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: where you can you know, you can have some three
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: men fronts, some four men fronts. Parsons and Sam Williams
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: can both play that three four outside linebacker in a
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: three four, but I don't know if they have the
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: personnel on the line and really at linebacker to do
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: it that way. So I think you're going to see
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: him play more defensive end. But you know, he's got
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: a unique skill set. Anytime you can have a defensive
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: end that's also playing as the gunner on special teams,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: that just shows what kind of athletic ability he has.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: He could play, you know, different spots. But I think
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: from from where he is in his career, from a
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: development standpoint, and just just you know, playing this scheme,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I think he needs to be rushing the passer at
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: defensive end. All right, let's go with Dan and Philly.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the Cowboys schedule. There's a
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: rough patch between before the bye week. I'm also not
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: a fan of having to play the Eagles in December
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: in Philly. Thank you, Chris, bring some water. I should
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: give him a tip, I don't he goes. I don't
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: know if I'm playing the Philly in in December up
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: there in his favorite Cowboys or past cowboy that he's
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: mentioning today is to Shard Choice. We've done a lot
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: of stuff with the Shard Choice here lately, done some
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: interviews with him, and he was down at Texas. We've
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: got working on a documentary project that that he has
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: been a part of. So yeah, it's a charge, a great,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: great fun guy. I loved having him on the team.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to another Let's go to his
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: question the thoughts on the schedule and also about playing
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Philly late in the year. Yeah, I mean it's it's
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: kind of gone back and forth. I mean that we've
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: played Philly at home at the end of the season
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: a couple of times, played them there, So you know
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it's going to happen when you're playing your your division
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: games towards the end of the season. That's that's probably
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: your only game that has a chance to be really
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: really cold. I mean maybe Carolina December fifteenth, that's probably
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: going to be cold somewhat at noon, but shouldn't be
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: that bad. But I mean Philly, Yeah, Philly December twenty ninth,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I mean that there should be a lot riding on
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: that game. You know, he talked about rough patches before
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the bye. Yeah, I mean Philly, Philly is in in
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: November the tenth. But before the bye you've got Pittsburgh
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and Detroit and then the bye, then you get the
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers FO Philly Houston. I mean, yeah, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: mean it's gonna happen. That's where the tough. The tough
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: game seemed to be right now. And that's because that's
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: what we think when we think the forty nine ers
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: are gonna be good like they have been lately, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: we think the Lions stealers all those those games. But yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I mean I kind of like happened the bye week
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: right before. But still I think it lays out pretty
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: pretty nice for the Cowboys. Though it's not too bad.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go with this is another text question
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Chris from New York. Actually seeing the layer of the schedule,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not as concerned as I was. It's not going
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: to be easy. I think they could win the ten
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: to twelve games unless there's a major injury to a
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: key player. Another note, last week I heard another sports
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: radio show there are reports the Cowboys and Jerry Jones
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: want to hit the reset button and get Shader Sanders
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: if the season goes badly. I don't play. I don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: pay much attention to the Cowboys news talk unless it
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: comes from you guys at Dallas Cowboys dot com. Do
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: you think there's a shred of truth to this or
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: just filler? Well, let's go to that part. I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: they don't have a quarterback that's seemingly under contract next year,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: so something's going to have to happen here, and it's easy.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: When that happens, then you can because of that, you
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: can start looking at all of the options. So you
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: look at the free agents that are out there, you
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: look at the projected picks that are out there. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard anyone say that that, oh, that's what
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys are trying to do. I mean if they did,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: they certainly wouldn't say it publicly or even even if
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: it got leaked out. I mean, there's just so much,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: so much time, and so many things that have to
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: happen between now and then. So no, I don't know
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: if that's the case, but I do say I do
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: think that that you know, this team's going to have
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to make some hard decisions at quarterback, so whatever that means,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: it's going to have to happen. You know here in
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the next three to four months, we'll see how the
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: season goes. For sure, not three to four months, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: early six to six to nine months that they have
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: to make a decision there, all right. Maurice McCrae from
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Washington State, He says, McCarthy talks talked about the presence
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: that Ezekiel brings to the locker room with the statement
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: that he can come in and spank a sixty year
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: old man on the ass and still be welcome to
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the locker room. What do you think for the locker
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: room in twenty twenty four. That was kind of an
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: awkward part of the of the press conference the other
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: day when he did that. So when he said that, yeah,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: he's just he just means he's got he's got a
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: way about him that you know where he can he
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: can hang with the young guys, he can talk to
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the old coaches, and he kind of gets along with everyone,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: and he really always has. So you know that he's
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: a guy that that's a you know, fan friendly, locker
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: room friendly. But you know, to make this work, he's
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: gonna have to be a guy that could run the
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: football and and and play well like he has been
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: in the past, and if he can still do that
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: and do all these other things, I don't think it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: going to be a good, good thing for him. All right,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: let's get to the phone calls here. Jeff in Oregon, Jeff,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: what's up?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Oh my lot?
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: How are you good?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: How are you doing? All right? We don't have a
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: lot of calls from Morgan.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: First time caller. I texted you a few times, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: first time caller. All right, yeah, okay, just a couple
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: of comments. I'll let you go, and all right, if
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you want to expand upon them, that's fine. I kind
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: of like the way things are going. I was up
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and down with everybody else, but I people are going
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: to have to play this year and how either we're
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: going to have two new young linemen uh or not.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: We're going to see neland I'm sure to play probably
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: that big tackle. And I just I think it's we're
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: gonna have fourth receiver that we haven't seen a lot of.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: They haven't done a lot of playing time. I just
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I like the idea that they're going to play and
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: we're going to find out why some of these guys
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: indive we don't see that a lot. Another comment I
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: wanted to make is that you've got a guy like
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Jerry Jones who's a billionaire and he's had to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: that way because of negotiating and sign contracts and all
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: of these done. I'm sure Jerry knows you've got to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: be able to walk away from the contract, and in
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: this case in football, walking away I means you basically
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: have to trade somebody because you can't make a deal
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: with them. Why I lose them? And I'm just curious
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: with you why we can't see me get contracts made
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: done like we see other teams do, or why we
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: don't just walk away from players and say, okay, we
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: try to negotiate faithfully and get faith and can had
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: it done. And that's just the way it worked out.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And I'll let you go. It's great, yeah, for the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: first time, and I'll see what you got to say.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Jeff. I would like a little back and forth there,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: because because you said they don't either they can't get
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: them done, why don't they get them done or why
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: they just let them walk away? I mean it seems
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: like it would be one or the other. I mean,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: those are the two options that you have. Maybe I
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: misunderstood that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: But oh no, I would say, I would say, negotiate
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: faithfully for so long and then you get to a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: point where you say, okay, we can afford this, or
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: whatever your reason is, we can't go any further. You can't.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: If you're just going to go until you and me
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: you know what they want, then why not do that
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: right way? But if you spent all this time, I mean,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: you're at the point with these players, who.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Are we talking about we just talking about da.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Any one of them that thought that was a big
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: three that are up that Well, Parsons.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Has two years left on his deal, and and Mike
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, and CD still has one, and so I mean,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: you know, they say it all the time, they always
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: say deadlines make deals. So that just lets you know
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: that they're not really They're not going to let it
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: kind of force their hand. They're going to kind of
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: let this thing play out, let the other teams and
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: players in the league and their deals come through. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that's that's the kind of their strategy. But they're getting
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: they're they're up against it now with Dak I mean
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: that that's that's what I'm saying.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: But what if that doesn't fine?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: The does c D sign yeah, no, I'm here. He'll sign.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, well, why why would he not? What do
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: you say, I mean, because you think they're going to
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: have like a crappy quarterback in here for three or four.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Years, Well, we may be very well out of.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: He's gonna he's gonna sign. He's gonna get the most money,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and he's gonna sign, like if the Cowboys offer him
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: what he's wanting from. You know, I don't think they
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: care who the quarterback is at this point in their career,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: trying to get their second deal they want to be.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: He thinks he's the highest he should be the highest
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: paid receiver in the league, and that's what he wants.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: So if you you don't think so, okay, well.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think other receivers it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Doesn't matter what. Yeah, yeah, what I'm saying, that's what
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: he thinks. That he thinks that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And I don't don't how many players think they're the
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: best in the league.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well, I mean he's up there. I mean
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: he's up there. He's proved and he's proven that he
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: would be up there. But what I'm saying is, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: don't think who the quarterback is really matters. If the Cowboys.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Give CD and his agent what they're looking for. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: think they're gonna do it. Yeah. Sure, he would like
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: to have Dak, he'd like to have the quarterback. Uh
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: but but I you know, I don't think necessarily that
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: that that means, you know, he's not going to sign
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: if he doesn't have, you know, a quarterback, because this
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: team is not going to go forever with with not
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: having a good option there. So if Dak's not the
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: quarterback next year, they'll get a young guy, but they'll
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: get somebody that they think will be pretty good, you know, soon,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: so that that'll be the plan. All right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I I just hope that Jerry as all Vazard
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: doesn't let it gets appointing where it's in it's last year,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: hen his last year, Mike is in his last year
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: because like you said, I mean deadlines, delivery deadlines, like
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: your time tracks up. They can decide I'll get I'll
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: probably get more money elsewhere.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, it's a risky deal for both sides.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: It's it's risky. It's it's risky if the player holds out.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Jeff. It's risky if the player
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: holds out, because you know, he could get injured and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: in the price, or he could play bad and the price,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: or you know, not play as well as is what
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: they're expecting, and the price that could go down. Or
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: you could just not sign the guy and and then
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: you know, just like CD, you just don't sign him
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: last year. You let him play out this year and
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: he sets all kinds of records and now he wants
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the highest paid money in the league. So it's it's
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: a game. It's a cat and mouse game, and you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: you can see it kind of play out both ways.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to another text question. Julio from Frisco.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: His wrestler, his Stone Cold, his favorite football movie, The Program,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Necessary Roughness, and Man movie would be any John Wick film?
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Got a new one? Want your thoughts? Friday Night Lights, show,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: movie or book? I'd like to show the best. All
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: three were great. His Cowboy prediction this year is ten
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and seven. Uh, that's a good question. Friday Night Lights,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the show, the movie or the book. I'm gonna go
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: with the show. I was late. I was late to
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: the already on that one, and it had already finished
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: the five seasons or so when I started. I was like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: let me finally watch this what's all this about? I
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: like the movie, but the show is outstanding. Yeah, I would,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: I would, I would. Right, I'd like to see a
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: movie on the show for the cast of the show.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: That's what I want to see happening. I think that
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: would be really cool, really really good movie. Friday Night Lights.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: And it's funny. We had our first caller. It was
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: from Odessa, where all that really took place. All right,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: let's go to the another first time caller we got online,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Jeremy in Utah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: What's up, Nick?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: How we doing?
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: How are you man? Got some energy?
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I finally I've been listening for years, obviously,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: my first time getting through, and I'm.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Stum, there you go.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: That's right, here we go. So Nick, me and you
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: have actually met before, all right, years ago, about ten
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: years ago. It got a little bit of backstory. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: was listening that and I remember when the schedule came out.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: You said, look week I think it was like week
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: seven at Seattle. We're gonna win that game. And Seattle
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: just won the Super Bowl and we'd just had another
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: eight and eight season, and then that was a start
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: of the twenty fourteen season. I went to Seattle, got
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: tickets to that game, and by hell, we beat them,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and it was like amazing game. And at the end
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: of the game, I was screaming at you from the
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: end zone, telling you that you called it, and I
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: remember you coming up and shaking my hand telling me
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: like to enjoy it and everything. We had a little chat,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: but it was a really cool moment. And man, that
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: was just an amazing game and it was one of
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: the best, the best game I've ever been to live
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: in my life.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, I got a story about that game too.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I can tell it when when the calls over. But yeah, yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: that was a great one.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I remember in the first quarter they blocked a punt
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: and it was like a bomb went off. I've never
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: experienced anything that loud in my life.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, getting to new things. You know.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I've been listening to this show and I love this show,
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: and I'm great that everybody gets a chance to have
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: their opinion voice their opinion. But I've always told people,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: you know, I hate Eagles fans the worst. They are trashed,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: their garbage. But sometimes my second is other Cowboys fans
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: that are always negative, that are always like pushing these
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: false narratives that they learned from these idiots on ESPN.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I stopped watching ESPN. Like when the t O tried
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: to kill himself, narrative came out and they kept pushing that,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: and I just at that point I figured out ESPN
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: is the news. It's like the Fox News is sports.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: It's just took a bunch of opinions and bad ones
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: at that. And you know, there's this narrative that Zeke
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: is all run down and King Henry would have been
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: the greatest thing. Like they came out in the same draft, right,
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: And people don't ever like realize, like if you look
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: at Zeke's career, he had that one rough year where
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: he in two thousand dur in twenty where he had
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the fumbling issue. He also had COVID that year too, right,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: and people forget, these aren't baseball cards, man, these are people.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I had COVID and knocked me. He knocked me in
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: the dirt for a good few months. Right. And you
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: know the other thing was Kellen Moore in his play calling.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: I feel like ruined Zeke's career in Dallas. There were
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: many games. I'll go back to the Green Bay game,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago where I'm sitting in a
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: bar with some cowboys and other people that hate the Cowboys,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: all of us screaming at the TV. Run the ball,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and Keellen Moore it just wouldn't he just
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: kept throwing the ball. Same thing with the Jacksonville one
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: a few years ago.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: So I think Zeke is gonna have an amazing year,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: and I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And all these people bitching and moaning about not doing
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: anything in free agency, When has that ever worked out
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: for a team? When is going and getting a bunch
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: of free agents and overpaying ever worked out? I want
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: him all to tell me when that's ever worked out.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: You remember the Eagles when they went and got Nandi
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: and Vince Young and this whole all star team and
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: then they sucked? Do you remember that?
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I do. I also remember getting a couple in
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the twenty seventeen season and then they won the Super Bowl.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think. I don't think you used
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: free agency to, like, you know, piece your team together
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: and you have superstars, but I think you can find
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: some core pieces there that that could help. And there
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: has been some cases where that sort of happened. But
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: but I don't know if it's it's like you're saying,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: you know, these guys will carry us to a super
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Bowl based off free agency, because if they're that type
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: of player, they probably wouldn't, you know, be available, so exactly.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I remember in the early two thousands
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: overpaying for a few guys and it never did us
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: any well, you know what I mean. So I'm kind
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: of I'm kind of glad. I kind of like what
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: the front office is doing this last ten years or so, drafting, well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: getting kind of role players from free agency, and the
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: biggest free agency and the best that we are in
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: the league is picking out free agents, rookie free agents. Right,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: how many have made the team in the last fifteen
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: years of the Cowboys and been great players or serviceable
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: good players? Right?
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, Jeremy, Jeremy, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: with this. This is what the Cowboys, this is what
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: their philosophy is about free agency, Okay, and the players
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: that are available, all right, average players, Average players will
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: get good contracts in free agency, and good players will
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: get great contracts in free agency, and great players never
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: make it to free agency. That's the way that they
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: think and and so that's how they view this this
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff. So if you see a good player,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think Dord's Armstrong was a good player
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: and he got a great contract. But he was a
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: great player for the Cowboys. He wouldn't have been in
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: free agency. So that's all right, all right, good, good
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: call man, Thanks and it was good. I kind of remember, honestly,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I kind of remember meeting you there in Seattle. Remember
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: that walking off the field, because in that corner there
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: in the end zone, there's one guy that he's like
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: the Heckler guy, you know, and so it's so great
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: to walk me. No, no, no, no, I'm talking about Seattle fan.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: This is a Seattle fan that I.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Was yelling and another Seattle fan. We're back, yeah, I
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: kept telling him, we're back.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Well this where we I don't know.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, than that name should have won the Super Bowl?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think dad still caught it all right, Jeremy,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Good stuff always, all right. Got
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: some a lot of text questions here. I'm gonna get
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: one of these. How about a caller. This is from Tyler, Texas.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: No name, but he says, do you think Pollard's replacement
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: is on the team? I would add an s to that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I think Pollard's replacements are on the team, one of them,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: at least. I still I've said it. I still think
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: something different is gonna happen. I think they're gonna look,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: they're gonna find something, They're gonna maybe make a trade.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think all of his replacements are on the team.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be some guys though. Zeke is
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: one of them. I think Rico's also in there. We'll
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: see how it all shakes out. But I still think
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: that there's something else gonna happen for this team. I
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: really believe that. All Right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma is
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: on the line. Lewis, Hey, how you doing, good man?
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: I'm just checking out the schedules of trying to convince
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: my wife to go about go to about three of
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: the games. I haven't been to a game and maybe
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: since twenty.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Twelve, but you want to hit three?
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, at least three. Because I got some friends.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: There are Saint fans.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's the one. That's fine, that's one right there.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Because you're in Oklahoma. Right, yeah, run game, yeah, noon game,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: get there, get back doom. You got to hit that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Come on, So I need you to call my wife
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: into her the exact same thing you said.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know about calling anybody's wife, but I'll
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: say this. Why don't you just have her listen to
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: the show?
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, Lewis is better half. I'm talking to you. It's
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: been twelve years. You guys need to go to the
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Cowboys game. You need to go there. There's been more
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: noon games on the schedule than ever before, most of
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: them on the road, which is good if you're traveling
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and you want get back in a decent time. But
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: this game's at home New Orleans. It would be an
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: easy it's been an easy trip, a one day trip.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Pack the car, go down to AT and T Stadium. Hey,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: get loud because the Saints fans will be coming. They'll
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: be bringing a lot of fans from the other side
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: to It'll be early in the year, so they still
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: think they're gonna have a good team, so it'll it'll
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: be a very lively game for the NFL. You should
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: be there and bring Lewis as well. Bring him because
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: he wants to go to the game. That's my pitch
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: straight amen.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, I always call it. And then
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: you know what's crazy. I think I might have to
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: call you a gig because they played on Sunday, the
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: October to thirteenth, Detroit, that's our anniversary. So I might
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: need to call you a game to give another pep talk.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I can help you on that
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: one on the anniversary, you know what I mean, unless
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: she's got like a tattoo with the star, like she's
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: a die hard Cowboy fan, you know, and that's something
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: she would want to do. But you know, you're gonna
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: have a hard time maybe watching the game. I would
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: just know for that one, you know, maybe not going
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: down there. But I don't know, I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: make a weekend of it, Make the weekend of it,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: go go down and there's a lot of stuff to
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: do and in Arlington down there, make a weekend of it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: and then you know, I'm sure, I'm you know, none
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: like the Saints. I think that Detroit may not have
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: a ton of fans. I mean they you know, they've
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: they've developed some here over the last few few months probably,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it'll be it'd be a good
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: w That's gonna be a good game though. I mean,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: that was a good game before. You know, if Detroit
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: knew the rules, they might have won that game. But
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: The rules. I mean, yeah, he paid off a little
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: more than he could chew at that moment. I mean,
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: I'm not not not taking a shot, but yeah, I'm
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: that was that was a crazy game.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Well, and he did it in the NFC Championship too.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I think after watching the Cowboys game and then watching
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: that when I think it realized he didn't. He just
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: doesn't like his kicker and he was just like, we're
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: not gonna kick field goals. We're gonna go win this game.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: And they didn't either time. But it's not gonna be
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: an easy one. I mean because Detroit either they're young,
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: they're talented, they had a lot of money they added
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: to it. You know, they're they're like Houston and that
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: they're you know, they've never won anything, but yet they think,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: you know, this is gonna they're building something and and
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: and then they're gonna come into Dallas. Both these games
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: and those are gonna be tough. Tho's gonna be tough
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: home games. They Cowboys have some tough home games, uh.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: But they have to.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: That's why I call.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: That's why I called because I wanted to know what
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: what what because I was looking at it and I
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: was the first eight games look like it's going to
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: be the meat and potatoes, like as far as they play,
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: and the way the schedule lined out, like where you
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: say the hardest, the hardest the schedule in your opinion,
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: would be just.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: What it looks like. And I have to qualified all
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: the time. I mean, you just just go back to
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: last year. If you were to say, hey boy, that
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Week two game, don't worry about that at the Jets
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: because they're you know, Aaron Rodgers is probably gonna tear
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: as achilles, he won't even play. But worried about that
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Cardinal game because I don't think the Cowboys are gonna
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: have any offensive linemen that have ever played in that game,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna forget how to tackle. So you just
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: never know how to how these games are going to go.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: But looking at it, yeah, it does look like that,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: like you said, the meat and potatoes there in the
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: first eight games. But all right, let's say let's say
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: you're three and five. That's not good, and that's not
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: good for McCarthy. But let's say you're three and five. Okay, yeah,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: but then but then I don't you get to Houston
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: at home? Okay, look at the next games. That's the
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: one I focus on. I guess I'm I'm a glass
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: half full guy because I see what you see. But
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: then I look at this stretch of six games mid
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: November to mid late December, Houston at home, at Washington,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Giants at home, Bengals at home, at the Panthers, Bucks
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: at home. Let's go.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, make it work.
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: You can make it happen.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: That's that's where Yeah, I'm just saying I'm.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Able to pick up something.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. Three and five would be
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: not ideal, of course, I mean, you wouldn't want that,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: and this team isn't as good as we think they
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: are if they're going to go three and five. But
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, at that point in the year, you should
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: be able to make a stretch here. And I think
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: you know, and I know Cincinnati. I mean, Cincinnati is tough,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: and Houston will be tough, and the Giants don't Thanksgiving
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: could be tough. But I'm just saying you, if you're
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: gonna be the team that you think you're gonna be,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: this is it. This is time to do it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's that's the time to try
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: to get it together. And like you said, we don't
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: know how Mike McCarty feels about it, but I mean,
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: if he's looking at the schedule, he wants to make
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: as much hate as he wants as he can in
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: the first half of the schedule. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you know, I might call you again. You know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: I need you to be the pitchman because the way
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: you was trying to tell it, I mean, man telling
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: you that might work.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you have to do the work.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: But you know that's the that's the pitch.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: It's been twelve years since you've been to the game.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: You know, Hey, we need we need to we need
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: to get back. You need to get back, make it happen.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: So, yes, sir, I'll appreciate it.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: All right, have a good one, good stuff. You know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I need to just focus on my own home, you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: my own situation. I can't be I'm giving advice and
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, you need to need to make sure I'm
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: doing it right all right, Joe and Montrose, Uh, Pennsylvania.
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: Hey, Max, good to be honest with you, How are
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: you doing good? I would I would love for the
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: Cowboys to be more innovative than they've been in many,
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: many years, more forward thinking, and to me, I'm thinking
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: about team building and specifically about with the eighteen game
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: schedule coming up sooner rather than later, I think that's
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: going to mean that you're gonna have to play twenty
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: one to twenty two games to play in the Super Bowl.
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: And I don't see how teams can have three or
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: four players that take up more than fifty percent of
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: their cap and you know, have a lack of depth
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: at other positions. And I would love to see them,
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: you know, they're in the perfect period with these expiring contracts,
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: to change their philosophy and say, you know, the strength
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: of our team is Will McLay and his drafting. I
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: think he's one of the best in the league's and
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: I think if they could, you know, give him more
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: capital and let him, you know, draft the best players
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: available and tell the coaches, hey, we're not fitting them
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: into your scheme. You're going to fit your scheme around
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: the players that will draft and just build depth and
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: youth and healthy players. I would love for them to see,
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: you know, see him try something like that and not
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: saying it's garanteed to work, but you know, just change
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: it up a little bit. And they used to be,
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: you know, very innovative back in the day, and I
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: just haven't seen lot of that from them lately, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: you know, just something changing.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: Up a little bit.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm all about doing something different. I mean,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: you can't just keep doing the same thing for twenty
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: eight years now and you know, haven't been to the
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl and just say well this is this is
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: the way to do it. I Mean there's some tweaking involved,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: and I think you're right. I think they should. You know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: it's just it's it's hard to let you know, they've
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: developed good players. I mean, this is a team that
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: has a lot of Pro Bowlers and it's hard to
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: let those guys go, you know that they've done it
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: some I mean some of these guys that they they've
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: let go. Tony Pollard has won, Tyler be Ottis is another.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I mean guys that have you know, but they had
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: they weren't coming off Pro Bowl seasons. I don't know
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: if they would have let them go if they were
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: coming off a Pro Bowl year. So it's it's tough
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: when you when you go through the draft, build it,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: you develop them, and then they become really good players
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: and you want to keep them. You want to figure
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: out the best place, you know, the ways to keep them,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: and that's what they've they've tried to do, and you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: it's and let's be honest. I mean, this team has
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: been good. This has been a good team most of
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: the time, a team that can compete and go win it,
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: and they just haven't been able to get over the hump.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: Do you blow it up because of that? Some people
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: would say yes, but most people would say no to that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: You know, you keep you keep fighting, you keep tweaking
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: here and there and making this thing happen. It just
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet. And the standards are so high. I mean,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: look at all these teams that are that are excited
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: about what they're doing and they still haven't won anything,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's just a different world
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: that the Cowboys are in when they they get judged
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: by can you win the Super Bowl? Because if you haven't,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: then we're just going to keep tacking on these years.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: And that's what's building all this frustration that the Cowboys
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: can't win, and they get these little shots from other
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: teams about all the Cowboys have never win. I mean,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: it's funny when you look at these schedule, these videos,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: look at the teams that talk the most crap, you know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: and it's the ones that have never peen a drop.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: That's what's funny to be But whatever, all right, yeah.
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I just I just think that if
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: you're going to try something new, this is the perfect
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: time to do it with the expiring contracts, you know,
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: instead of signing Dak for another three years or whatever
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: and then being kind of stuck with that. You know,
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: if you're going to try something different, this is the
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: perfect time to do it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: So all right, all right, Joe, appreciate it. Good, thank
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: you for hearing from you. All Right, I think we've got
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: a few more minutes here on the show, because I
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: know we've got the Players Lounge coming up a little
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: bit after this, right after this, so the Players Longe
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: will be here at eleven o'clock Central time, But we
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: can still go for another ten minuts with the phone
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: lines are are open right now, so if you want
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: to make a call, we've when we've had five calls.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: I think that's the lowest we've ever had. I'd like
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: to get to if we can get one more call in,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: that'd be great. We do have some text questions TJ
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: in Baltimore. How does this running back rotation compare to
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: two thousand and nine Barbara Choice and Felix Jones. It doesn't,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: It doesn't compare. Sorry, that's not that's not anywhere close
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: to what this team has right now. Barber for a
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowl or was just unstoppable around the goal line.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: He could score, you know, any anywhere in between the
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: you know, ten yard line, and he was probably gonna score.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Felix Jones could score any part in part of the field.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: And then charge Choice is your third back. I mean,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: that's pretty good, and I don't think the Cowboys have that.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I think all three of those guys at that year
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: would be starting on this team. So this doesn't compare
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: in my mind. But I mean, that's it's okay. I mean,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, Zeke, Zeke's not at that that point in
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: his career. But but still you know, there's some of
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: you guys think that he can have a really really
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: good season, and and I I think he can. I
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: do think he needs some help. He needs another guy
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: in there. I'm not sure who that is going to be,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: but I definitely think that they can. You know, they
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: get it blocked up front. I think the running backs
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: can be good. I just think that they need I
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: just don't think it's over yet. It's not over yet.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: On to see who's going to be running the ball?
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: All right? Eric and Amarillo, Uh, do you think Deuce
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Vaughan has a real chance to play? What do you
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: think the Cowboys playing is with him? Is he just
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: a gadget running back? Can he not be a starting
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: running back because he's too small to pass protector? I
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: don't think he's going to be a small I don't
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think he's going to be a
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: starting running back. I think, yeah, that that that would
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: be a challenge for him to take that many hits
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: all the time. I think that, you know, he's just
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: not built that way. That doesn't mean he can't do
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: it every now in a game, but I don't think
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: he's built to the point to be the you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: the every down running back and to take it, you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: to take the hits that that are needed when you
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: have the ball and when you don't. But yeah, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: mean I think he can be a gadget back if
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: you will, he can. He can have his carve out
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: his own niche a little bit. He needs to be
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: a good, you know, pass catcher out of the backfield.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: I think he'd be a really good two minute offense
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: type guy get in there. And you know we saw
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: that with Lance Dunbar when he played. I mean, he
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: you know, he could catch the ball out of the backfield.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: So I think he could do that kind of stuff.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: But you know, for for the most part, I don't
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: think that that he is going to be your your starter,
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: but I do think that if he continues to develop, yeah,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: he can have a role on the team. All right,
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: Bob in Rio grand Valley.
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, Hey, how you doing that.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: I'm in a much better frame of mind than the
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: last time I called. First of all, I want to
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: apologize for the disparents the things that I've said on
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: that conversation that day. Evidently I'm ashamed of myself and
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: I apologize.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: That's all. Thank you for calling and thank you for
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: saying that, and that we can just leave it at that. Hey,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: you made the All Storyline Team. I don't know if
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: you heard that. You made the All Storyline Team despite
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: any of that stuff. Hey, frustrations of this team can
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: get the best of us. We all know that, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: we say things. Lord knows, I've said things I didn't
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: want to say before, and that's actually, you know, that's
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: every day almost for me. But anyways, Bob, thanks for calling,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: and and if you haven't given us your shirt size
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: in the address, make sure I have good good there.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: Is something positive I would like to say. All right,
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: kudos to the whole front office for the masterful way
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: they handled and drafted in the draft. I think that
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: we hit a total home run. I think that they
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: they by trading back, it was a masterful stroke on
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: Jerry's park. I think that we fill positions of need
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: with great players. I'm very, very optimistic about this season,
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: and I've watched the interviews with the coaches that they
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: brought in and I am totally impressed. I think that
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: we're on the on the right path. I think that
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: a change in defensive coordinators was needed. I love Dan
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: Quinn he's a great guy and whatever. But I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: that a lot of the problems that Malady Smith had
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: last year when he was being asked to do something
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: that he's not capable of doing, I think Mike Zimmer
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: is going to do it completely different. I expect to
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: see that young man have a breakout season, and I
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: think the Cowboys are going to have another twelve win
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: season and there's a good possibility that we could wind
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: up in the championship game. Thank you for taking my car.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: A great week, all right, well, thank you, all right.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Good to hear from you again. It's been a while
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: since you've called. Uh, you know, good positive vibes there
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: coming uh from and he haven't seen and we haven't
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: heard a lot of that. I'm not not all fans
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: are feeling the same way about what the Cowboys have
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: done or what they really didn't do. And then which
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: a sign to anybody, but but yeah, I mean, I
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: think that they've got young talent on this team that
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: that you know, just needs to needs to to play. Uh.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: That was a caller, our second caller, you know, Jeff
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: and Morgan said we're gonna get to find out about
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: these guys and and that's you know, and what is
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: it the The fifth caller said, you know, Joe from
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: from Pennsylvania said he thinks Will McLay is the strength
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: of the of the team. And so if that's the case,
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: then let let these guys that they've picked, whether it
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: be this year, last year, a couple of years before,
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: we still got some draft picks that we haven't seen yet,
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: so that they're gonna get the chance, they're gonna get
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: the chance to play. This team needs to have cheap
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: superstars and uh, you know if Deron Bland is one
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: of them, I mean he looks like a superstar, you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: especially when he's taking the ball to the house five
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: times in a season. So you know, that's but they
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: need more of those. They need those fourth, fifth round,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: sixth round picks to develop into starters and and and
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: and and be you know players like that. Oh so
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: O'diggy Zoo a third round pick. I mean this is
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: his contract year. They need a big year from him
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: as well. So yeah, I think that they can be
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: just like they were. I think the window is kind
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: of closing based off the contracts, but I don't think
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: it's closed at all. I think they have a chance
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: to have a good season this year, a really good season.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: They just got to have things go their way. You
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: got to develop some players, You gotta get lucky at times.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: You got to get lucky with injuries and not have
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: too many bad injuries. You gotta have develop some good
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: depth so when you have those injuries, you can still
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: go and win games. And you got to be a
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: little more more disciplined. Maybe, like you said, Bob, maybe
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: you know they can they can be that way on
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: defense with Mike Zimmer coming in, you know, you might
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: not have as many flash plays there, but you might
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: have less penalties. And I think with this team, I
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: think you would take that, all right. Michael Lexington, uh,
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: North Carolina, Michael, Hey, hey man.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I'm first Tom Calver, all right, we've got a lot
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: of first time Yeah. Uh I call a few years
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: ago on Mickey's show, but I argue with him too much,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: so I didn't held back.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: Been there.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you he's kind of hard to deal with.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: How we all are. What do you got, Michael?
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I got this goes back to the first year Dak
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: was I I've been won't to ask this question. When
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I got to the playoffs. I wish they would have
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: played Romo instead of Dick. I really believe we could
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: have done something. What do you think on that?
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: I felt I was I was asked this not too
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: long ago, and I said, this is a tough one
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: for me because I love both those guys.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but so much better passion.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, you're right Romo to me, and I think
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: you agree. Romo would have been the better option for
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: that game, especially as it played out. I think they
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have been down twenty one to three or six
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: or whatever it was. I think Romo would have been
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: a better option for them in that game. However, there
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: was no point in the season when that could have
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: It didn't make since Dak had he needed to play.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: He played well, he kept winning, he kept winning. Is
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Romo back not yet? Guess what? Dak wins again, He
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: wins again, They go win in Pittsburgh. Oh, Romo's ready now?
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Oh no, Dak still winning. What are you going to
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: change the team now? You got these two young guns,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Dak and Zeke. You can't change it.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: He never let I mean, you know, the running name
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: carried Knack that year. I mean, Tony was so much better.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: If the running game wasn't work and he could win
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: it for.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: You maybe maybe, But Dak wasn't losing it for him either,
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: and so and you know he wasn't. Now, he did
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: not play well in that in that game early, but
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: then he came back and that they were in position
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: that where they had it tied. I mean, uh, I
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: just it was Dak's team. I love Tony, but it
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: was Dak's team at that point in the season. He
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: had done everything he'd had to do, and I don't
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: think the Cowboys could have could have switched back. I
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: think you'd lose the team and lose the locker room
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: if you did that. You got to remember, too, who
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: was in the locker room and who's a locker room guy.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: Who did the team gravitate to. Who's the team gravitat
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: towards now Dak it they don't gravitate to Tony. I'm
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: sorry again, I said it. I've said it three times.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: I love Tony, but that's not he wasn't that type
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: of leader in the locker room. He's a leader in
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: his own way, but not like Dak. And I think
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: it would have been it would have been tough to
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: make that change.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: So it's unfortunately, I really believe if he was in
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: there way to one.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree, I don't disagree. I just don't think
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: it's possible to put him in.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, and I don't think Tony ever received
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: the respect they deserve. He got creativeized so much. And
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I noticed Telly who was a quarterback in Dallas, but
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I mean he was a great quarterback.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think Dak and Tony are very very similar
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: in their careers. All right, Mitchell or Michael, sorry about that,
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Let's go to Chris and San Angelo.
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how you doing.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: I'm good man, how are you?
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: I'm doing well. I didn't even know you were on today.
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: I know I popped it and I saw you and
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: I called in the phone range. So that's two surprises
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: in the last ten minutes.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it's no coincidence that we had a
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: lot of first time callers and a lot of callers
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: that don't call all the time, just because yeah, we
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: switched it up. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: if I love doing that again. But that's a fine.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: All right, Chris, what do.
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: You think I might be maybe a five time caller.
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure, no where am Since I had to
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: come up with something really quick. You were talking about
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: Dak with me and a lot of other people. We
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: get labeled Dak haters, and but the thing is we're not.
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: Do we think that Dak is worth fifty plus million
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: a year? No, but I don't either. But I have
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: his jersey hanging up in my closet, you know, And
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: so it's like, I love him, I want him to succeed.
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: But just because I don't think he's worth fifty plus
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: a year, I don't think makes me a hater, you
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: know what I mean.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: It doesn't. It doesn't at all, and I don't even
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: try to look at it that way anymore. What I
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: would say is, do you think Dak needs to be
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: in the top ten highest paid quarterback in the league?
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: If you think he does. If you think he's top
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: ten and he should be paid that way, then don't
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: worry about what the number is. Because the number got
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: out of control in nineteen eighty five when they started
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: making a million dollars a year or whatever. It's always
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: been out of control for you and me. So my
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: point is is that you think he needs to be
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: paid fairly. And if that's the case because of what
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: he's going to do, not because of what he's done,
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: but what he is going to do. If you think
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: he is still going to be a top ten quarterback
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: in the next four to five years, then he does
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: deserve that that money, regardless of what it is.
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: Right, Well, I mean that's true. I don't know. I mean,
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: it's just you know, they keep talking about pieces of
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: the pie, and that's that's an awful large chunk whenever
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: you have a shot.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: No, it's it's a tough way around it. I get it.
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: But got to build a team around it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: It's tough. It's tough to play, uh you know, with
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: that kind of money. It's tough to play with a
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: quarterback who sucks. So I mean you got to find
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: a middle balance there, all right?
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Right on?
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: Man, okay, man, I didn't have much. You get a chance.
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: Check out the movie.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Uh, I think it's kind of a guy movie.
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: Maybe not Once upon a time in Hollywood.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, I've heard. Yeah, I've heard about that. I've tried
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: to watch it on the plane a couple of times.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I didn't last very long doing that, But maybe I'll
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: give it another.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: Shot you got, Yeah, you have to on a plane.
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: Might be a bad time. Have a good day, Nick.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: All right, Chris appreciate it. Uh all right. We've got
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: to roll out of here because we've got players lounds
• 51:45
