  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, Wednesday,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: May twenty seventh. I'm Nick Eatman. Let's talk to some
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Cowboys football here. I want to hear from you guys.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight fi five two two nine seven.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You can text the show. We'll try to get some
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: text messages in every once in a while eight one
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: seven two nine zero three two nine eight. That text
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: line is very handy if you've made the all storyline
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: team and you want to send in your last second
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: addresses or T shirt sizes. If not, then we'll have
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: them a couple left over, which is always nice too
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: around the office. Here, all right, show of May we
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: are trekking right along here in the summer of twenty
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: twenty six. Of course, nothing's really happened from the Cowboys standpoint.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: After the draft, there was just a rookie mini camp.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Then the course we had. The only news really was
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the schedule release, which that's pissed off a lot of people.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm looking at it again. I mean,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it's you know, I hate saying this phrase all the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: time because it's true, but it is what it is,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and they'll they'll deal with it. And you know, it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: three games in twelve days and a couple of times,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but I think that's kind of getting overblown a little bit,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: because everybody that plays a Thursday game plays three games
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in twelve days, so that happens. The Cowboys have two
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Thursday games. There's other teams that have that as well.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: The difference obviously is the international travel and all that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, they'll they'll have to overcome it. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're good enough, you're good enough. That's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: really what it comes down too. If you're good enough
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to win these games, then then that then they will.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they're gonna lose games because of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the travel. They're gonna lose games so they're not good
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: enough or vice versa. So we'll see how good this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: team really is. Let's hear from you guys. Some of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the first teamers calling in to start. Chris and Saratoga Springs.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What's up man?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's your Memorial Day weekend?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Not too bad. Took the kids, the boys, the young boys,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to see that movie Mandalorian in the theaters. They really
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: liked it, so that was that was good. And I also
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: took them bowling, So we had a pretty good weekend.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: All right, So what do you got?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I really believe people are sleeping on winners. My best
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: friend's a forty nine er fan and he was beyond
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: upset when they traded him away, and especially the Dallas.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So I know if my buddy is upset with it,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: he's a really good player. I just think with having
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: him a healthy demo in the rookie JB, I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be set.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I really do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I think we're gonna be set at linebackers and it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: going to be a much better group there. My issue
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: really last year was was most most of it was communications,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: getting lined up in the right in the right plays
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and knowing where to be. And I think with the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: free agent signing of Thompson and uh mister Ohio state
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: man Caleb, I think that isn't not going to be
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: an issue anymore, I think, and with the defensive coordinator
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: in there, I think they're they're going to be in
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the right positions, they're going to know what to do.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a huge step up,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and I think our defense is going to be much
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: much improved. My question to you this is, really, if
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you had to pick one player on the defense besides
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Quinton Williams that needs to step up or you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: we can't lose, who would it be?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, Well, all right, thanks for thanks for the Chris Moore.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Quentin Williams. Is that that's a good one, because, like
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you said, let's just overlook him, not overlook him, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: let's you know, he's the obvious choice as far as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: just star players that you've got. You know, I wouldn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: put Kenny Clark too far down that list either, because
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of what they're trying to do up front with those
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: defensive tackles, and that really is the core of that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: defense right down the middle.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You think of those two guys, you think of the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: safeties on the back end, and then the linebackers in between.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: If they're you know, it's like that movie inside Out,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if they play well from
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the inside, those two tackles, the two linebackers, I say
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: two safeties. I mean, they've got a couple. They got
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: four really back there that are experienced. If you throw
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in Malie Cooker and PJ. Locke and on top of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Caleb Downs and Thompson. But you know, to answer the question,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see Deron Bland get back to the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: style that he's played before, and I think it goes,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know, hand in hand with pass rush, you know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think if you get some some of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: those pass rushers that can that can really get after
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the quarterback than the cornerback, the cornerback's jobs are so
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: much easier. We all know that. So I'm kind of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: dancing around to all these positions. But Rashaun Gary or
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Deroan Blan and maybe those two guys do go hand
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in hand. Those guys right there, because if you get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the pass rush, then I think the cornerback play will
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: be better. They that was they just missed Michael Parsons
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: without a doubt. I mean everybody know that. Everybody saw it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: They tried to offset it with other positions and guys
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up front, but if you don't have those guys coming
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: off the edge like they've had in the past, it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: going to be harder for every position to function. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll say Rashaan Gary because I think that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that goes to everybody else as well. All Right, Brian
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City is next.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Good morning, sir.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: How you doing doing?
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Pretty good, man doing?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I'm doing all right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: I thought i'd switch to the offensive side of the
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: ball and just wanted to get an idea of if
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: you were looking at the skill position, I'm going to
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: eliminate the offensive line because I'm going to say they're
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: the ones that need the you know, the offensive tackles
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: need the most improvement over last year. They're really the
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: only spot that was kind of a weak spot. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: on the in the offensive skill positions, is there one
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: group that you want to see something better or just
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: different from? And I'll give you mine and then I'll
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: hang up and listen for me, it's the tight end.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: I'm kind of excited about this kid, Trigg and I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm trying to keep it rained in because at
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: this time last year we were hearing Blue was maybe
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: not the most mature guy in the world, and he
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: basically didn't play last year because of it. And that's
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the that's the reputation and Trigg brought to the league
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: so badly that a guy that produced as well as
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: he did in college didn't get drafted. So that's the
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: reputation he's carrying with him. Doesn't mean he can't turn
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: it around and be better. So I'm kind of looking
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: at you know, just conferd be more than just catch
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: the ball and fall down.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Guy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Does span Ford become more of a player and does
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: this guy Trigg maybe take that step in maturity so
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: that he can get on the field and be productive,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: And then does that leave Schoonmaker is the odd man out? So,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: but just any position, any skill position on offense where
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: you think you want to see something better or something different. Man,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: good to talk to you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff, thanks, Brian. You know, I only say
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this because we've seen it before, and we've seen how
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: these these guys are motivated or it's not just contract year,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: but it's also the fourth year of the player's career.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They're they're they're as good as they they should be.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm not just completely dismissing what Schoonmaker is going
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to bring to the table. I'm just not I I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you know, I think he hasn't lived up to second
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: round expectations. There's no doubt about that. He's kind of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: like Sam Williams in that regard, where you know, going
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: into last year's fourth round, he hasn't lived up to that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he can't provide some some you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: some plays every now and again. But I see what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you guys see. I mean, I see what what span
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Ford does. And everyone's excited about Trigg and and they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: should be because of what Lounda Wells does. I mean
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Lounda Well's is really really good coach, so much so
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys have fought off other teams over the years,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean last few years trying not to to hire
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this guy away. I know he had a chance for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: an offensive courdate position. So the Cowboys are very fortunate
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to have him. He's a really good teacher, he's a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: good motivator. I think it would be great for Trigg.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's good for that entire room. And and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just not going to dismiss Schoonmaker just yet, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you know, he's obviously got to, you know, he's got
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to step up and and and make those plays and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and kind of fight off the other guys to answer
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: your question for me, I would say running back. If
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I want to see something different, I just want to see,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Javonte was great. Want to see a little
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: bit more flash from from someone else. And it could
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: be Malik Davis. He gets over looked a lot. He's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he's switched numbers. I saw him on the field the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: other day. He's probably got it like his ninth number.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Since he's been with the Cowboys. I think he's twenty,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: number twenty. Maybe thought it was Tony Pollard out there
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for a second, but but you know, maybe it is Blue.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he has gotten himself to the to the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to the spot where he can play. I know that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: first half against the Giants he looked really dynamic. Now
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and he went backwards after that, literally, but but I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, we saw some stuff there. There's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a growing up period for all players. I don't want
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to just pick on him. All players from their first,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: second year, even third, fourth have to grow up. He's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: included in that. We'll see if he does that. All right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: let's go to Albert in Tucson, Arizona. Albert, what's up, man, Nick?
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: My man? How you doing?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: By the grace of God, I'm a lot better I was.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: I had been diagnosed with stage two cancer, oh man,
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: and by the grace of God, they caught it in time.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I was pretty rough. The last time I called, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: had did my last radiation, and by the grace of God,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: I've been a big cancer free for the last thirty days.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good team, that's a great thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Advice to everybody out there, do your physicals, Go to
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: your doctor's appointments, go get checked. Don't don't put it
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: off because it could be to make the difference between
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: them saving your life and you're getting some horrible news.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm so glad you did that. Thanks for sharing that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the advice to everyone else. That's good advice.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad you're doing Okay.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you so much.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: SONSA And the last color kind of took my thought
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: there about the tight ends, but I got I do
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: have a question, uh and someone to get you definitely
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: gets your opinion. You see on the ticket wire of ESPN,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: you know, everybody's citing their deals, these rookies, right, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: as you can tell, Albert Domis picked, Caleb Downs and
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: I did have mister Lawrence as our second pick, so
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: I should have got in that that pool, but I didn't.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: My head was right there. But anyway, how how difficult
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: you think is going to be to get him signed?
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: I don't anticipate him being like a stalemate into training camp.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: I hope not, because I'll be there. But what do
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: you think? I want to get your opinion. You think
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: he's going to be a signing and let's go type
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: of guy like him. A look at the Fernando. I
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: don't know if we could say other people's teams, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: the quarterback that just got the number one, he's already
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: practicing with his teammates. He's doing all that stuff and
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: I don't even know if he's signed his contract yet.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: So what do you think about Caleb Downs? Just you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: hitting the floor running And that's all I got. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: thank you for everything you do and I'll see you
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: in training camp.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: All right, Albert hanging there, Thanks for sharing it your news,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and good luck to you with with everything down the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: road here. As as for your question, Lawrence not signed,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know it's not an issue right now. These guys
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: don't have to sign to be able to participate in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the off season. That that's that's sort of unless they've
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: changed that real bit because it's been so long since
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we've had a any kind of it's not even holdout,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but just to any kind of delay and in contract signing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that it's going to be a big issue.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's usually just more of a slotting thing. I think
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that he'll and he should be able. Malachi should be
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: able to do everything o UTA's mini camp this offseason.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I believe training camp is when they kind of draw
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the line on if you haven't signed by training camp,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: then you need to then you you cannot you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: practice or participate with the team. I just don't think
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it'll go that far. I think this is a this
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is agent's business here that you know, they try to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: make sure that there's some parts of the language that's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: kind of it's called offset language that they want to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: make sure that down the road in their fourth year,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: fifth year option, things like that, that the guys around them,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: they're all looking at the same kind of you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: same kind of structure with contracts, and these agents don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: necessarily want to go too early and kind of screw
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: over some of the other teams, other guys, other agents.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So I just don't it's been a thing for third
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: round picks. I remember it was a thing for a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: second round picks. It's just kind of it depends on
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: sort of the again, the slotting of the contract there
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and just needs to be kind of sorted out. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: once those dominoes followed, and I think everybody will sign,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it won't be a big deal. So I really wouldn't
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: worry about that. You said that about Caleb Downs. So
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the Caleb Downs, you know, doesn't need he didn't need
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a contract, come in there and start studying, start preparing
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for his position, learning everything. He's a sponge and I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: think that the other players, especially in this draft class,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: are going to kind of feed off of that. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: think that's probably the best thing of what the Cowboys
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: are getting. And he's a great player, but I think
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he is going to be a leader by example, and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: really he's going to be one of those that players
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: around him follow. He's got to be a good player, though,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you got to be good because if you could do
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that and do all the things the right way, be
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a good player on top of that, then I think
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: everybody around him is just going to follow and that's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: how you get you know, that's how you get a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: great team. But it does have to start at the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: top with your leaders. All right, let's go to Cowboy Nico.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's in Colorado Springs. What's up, Nico?
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: Hey, guys, what's going on. First? I'm gonna be a
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: little chippy today because I've had time to think about it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the draft. I think
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: we did a great job overall. I'd say a be
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: but this is mostly for YouTubers, the commentators. I love
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: that we have commenters. Whatever. I don't know the correct
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: way to say it, so I'll just say commenters on
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: our channel. And I love that when I bring up something,
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: we get like, oh, here we go, or he's just
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: talking trash and he's not telling truth. Well it's not true.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: I am not talking trash. I'm telling the truth. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: if you guys have any kind of cajonas, why don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: you start calling the show and put your two cents in. Also,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: I have my bone to pick with Jerry Jones. After
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: I thought about it, Jerry has always said the amount
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: of money I would pay on my check, i'd be
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: embarrassed to buy a Super Bowl. Okay, here's my problem, Jerry.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: You still haven't done it. We didn't bust the budget,
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: think about it. We let two linebackers go because they
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: wanted to play with their friends. I'm sorry, and my
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: house money talks. I will go play for the money,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: not my friends. So you didn't offer enough, you didn't
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: go enough, you didn't do more. You didn't do what
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Cowboy fans are expecting you as the GM to do,
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: is to put that product out there. So I'm a
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: little frustrated that you still haven't made that big move.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: And now, don't get me wrong, like I said, I
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: enjoyed so far what he's doing. It feels like a change.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: But I'm calling you out, Jerry, because you didn't get
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: it done. And Cowboy fans are quite frankly getting tired
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: of hearing bus the budget and all laine and you're not.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: So let's do that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Also, last thing before I get out of here, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: found the clip that's what I was referring to earlier
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: today on the call. It is true Alan, I Alan
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Harp Alvin Harper's nickname was, in fact Fridlight. I found it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: I sent it to Chris, He's going to show it
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: to you, Nick. And it was in the fourth quarter,
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: first touchdown, fourth quarter. That's all I got, Captain Sue
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: for President green Dot is the chick of Lamal ask
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: for help and let's get rowdy, all.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Right, thank you for the call. A lot of stuff
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: going on there. Yeah, I just had never heard that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: about Alvin Harper. You know, i'd maybe one of the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: announcers called them that. I don't think it's stuck for
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that long, but school nickname, and you know, he had
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a lot. I thought it was just it was just
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Hop or Alvin. But he was the other receiver. I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: know that. But he was. He was a good one
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and and you know, he made some some huge plays
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and and also was it was a good example too
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of of how you need others around you because he
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: got he got the money, he got paid. He went
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, I believe, and then Washington, and you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: know he needed he was a number two receiver for sure,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: with a with a Hall of Fame needed needing, a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame guy on the other side, and a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back and a Hall of Fame
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback and offensive lineman like that, and all that your
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: your rant about the linebackers, I are we sure we
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: want to go there yet? I mean, like, like, what
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: are their names? Who are those those linebackers that you're
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: talking about? You know, I think Nikobe Dean is one
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of them. The other one for the Raiders that signed,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I kind of forgot already. I'm not saying that that
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: they're not going to be good players, but you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: at some point you you say, all right, you have
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to evaluate these guys and go, man, let's go get
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this guy. Let's look at this guy and this guy
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: where we want to pay for them? Well, this is
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: probably what we're thinking here. They you don't think that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they could have done that. You don't think they could
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: have gone another million or two that'd be that they
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: could have. But they're like, all right, that's that's not
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a smart move. Just think about right now. You guys
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: could go out and buy something overpriced if you want to.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't it doesn't make sense, you know. I mean,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: do you have ten dollars? Yeah? You do? Do you
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: wanna do you want to buy you know, a can
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of PEPSI?
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: No?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I mean you know what I mean, Like, it's it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we way overpriced. I don't know the way things are going,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it might be it might be right on on, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: it might be right at the right price here a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: little bit. But I think my point is is I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: think they looked at these linebackers and they said, hey,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this is not what we want to pay. We'll go
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to here. We're not gonna go higher than that. And
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of cases of that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And you know, all I can think of, like is
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Jamarco Murray after that record setting year he had and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: then they come back and they were like, we're gonna
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: pay him six million and nothing more. Well, the Eagles
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: paid for more and it turned out, you know, it
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't worth it to go and do that. So you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you have to trust the Cowboys on their evaluation of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: those free agent linebackers there. I wouldn't be surprised if
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: if one or two of those guys aren't cut. You
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: can't always chase the Raiders. The Raiders do not set
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the market the right way. They never have and so
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the way they do contracts are a little different than
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the other teams in the league. And so you therefore
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: they are going to throw some money out there but
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you watch, I'll be I'll be shocked if one or
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: two of those linebackers aren't available even as early as
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: next year. So just remember that when you have any
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and you could be right, but just remember when you're
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: arguing about players that. And I remember one that you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: guys were on here last year saying why didn't they
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: pay more for Dre Greenlaw? Dre Greenlaw from the forty
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: nine ers. They could have signed him. He went to Denver. Well,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: guess what he's back. He was cut by Denver. He's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: back with the forty nine ers again. You know, these linebackers,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: especially in free agency, have a way of kind of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: getting themselves back on the market again. I'm not saying
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: they will, just just you could be right, but just
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: don't don't forget that when you know, to see how
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: kind of production they have. All Right, Lester and Minnesota
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: is next? Lester morning?
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Nick?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Are you doing?
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: I'm doing good?
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: How you doing?
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Great?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: The last guy kind of sold a little bit of
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: my thunder. I had a question about the linebackers, not
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: a complaint, just to question, just to let you guys know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: I've been doing a little research here on on our
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: players that we drafted, and I've looked up their attributes
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: and trying to see how they would fit in. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: I don't really know, because again I don't know what
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: the philosophy of our decordinator is. I mean, we got
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: we have some nuggets. He seems to be a smart guy.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: I know he's a smart guy. So I'm just trying
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: to fit everybody in. And I know we're gonna cut
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: some players who probably gonna get some more players, et
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: cetera and so forth. But just the of the players
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: I figured we may keep. I've been doing a little research,
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: a lot of research. So here's his He's just my
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: question about the linebackers. Like, like I said, the last
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: guy kind of stole a little thunder. I think I
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: think we might need another linebacker. Again, I don't know
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: the philosophy of what Parker is gonna coach Coach Parker's
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: gonna do, but it just looks like we're a little
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: bit sanding there as far as running a three four.
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: I think the cornerbacks and the safeties are good, and
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: I think everything else is pretty good except the offensive line.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: You know how I feel about that. But we'll see.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: And that's that's all. I really have today. Man, it's
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: because it's the doll day of summer or or or
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: in between seasons or whatever. So yeah, go Cowboys.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Well I appreciate it, Lester. You know you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: looking at at linebacker numbers as well. Remember you know
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the three four, it's it's it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: usually those just two inside guys. Those outside linebackers are
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: kind of more of your pass rushers. You can have
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: you know, tweeners there. But you know when I when
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I look at what they have here, I'm kind of
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: drotting them down. Like you know, you see wind winners
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and overshown. I think those are your two to be
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: in the middle, but for now. But then you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you've got young guys like Shamar James and then Jayshawn barhim,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Justin Baron, who was on the practice squad most of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: last year. You know, he's a he's a big kid.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I mean he from Syracuse fifty five kind of fills
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: out the uniform in Jersey. Well, I mean he looks
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: he looks like a player, you know, size wise and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: all that. I know he needed some development, but you know,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye out for him. And then
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just not sold on Lea Fal being an outside Russier.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I think he might go back to the inside. I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: don't know that. I'm just I'm just going off I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: guess size there. I don't know exactly where he's going
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to fit, but you know, he's an intense player, running
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: hit guy, gets the ball, loose, gets around the football.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I just still I still think there's a place for him,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: maybe on the Nickel defense. I think him and Shamar
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: James are still kind of similar. So I just think
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that there's spots for some of these players. I don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: know if they're that thin. I mean, I really don't.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think winners and overshown are kind of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: your leaders. Then you got you know, bar Ham there,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: But then after that, you're going to try to get
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: these guys to develop. You have to develop players at
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: some point. Shamar James, Baron Lea fl maybe these guys
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I think will get an opportunity to do that. All right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: let's take a break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be
• 25:35

• 27:16
  Speaker 1: All right back here on the show, we've been chatting
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit about linebackers. Linebacker needs tight ends. Jerry
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Jones kind of fired up out about that a little bit.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Cowboy Nico had some things to say. He was he
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: was he wants to see, you know, more more production
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: there and and and signing these free agents. We'll we'll see,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. I think that they're pretty
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if set is the right word at linebacker,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: but I think, you know, you you have to, like
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I said earlier before the break, I mean, that's what
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the off season's for. You know. If if you really
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: are going to lean on on Christian Parker to be
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a teacher, then then that's what he needs to do.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And at some point you got to let these guys teach.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you have to get these players to rise
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to another level. I mean, that's how a team is built.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: You've got to get at some point these young guys
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that you drafted that that have to take a step,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and to do that is usually through coaching. So I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: think that that they've done a mix here. I mean,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: they they've added some talent. They've went and free agency.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: They didn't like what they got, but you know, you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: got to remember that they went and got d winners
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: for that reason. I mean, for the fact that they
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: didn't go and get the guys that they they targeted
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: at linebacker and free agency it didn't work out. They
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: got more money than the Cowboys were willing to part with,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: which is fine, but then they went another route. The
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: same thing happened at receiver last year. They didn't get
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the guys that they wanted. Initially, they didn't get the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: guy in the draft, so then they traded for pickings.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So it's the same type of thing. I mean, you know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you can get those linebackers that you want, they probably
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: haven't traded for it for the winners. So we'll see, well,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: we'll see how how it all shakes out. Just don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: forget there was different ways the Cowboys were trying to
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: acquire talent, and I think that they've done a pretty
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: good job with that, Chris, and San Angelo is next, Chris.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Mister Nick, how you doing what's up?
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: You know, not much? Doing pretty good? Better not deserve hey.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I think have two questions. One of them is about
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: uh about rookies. The other one was one about the schedule.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: The one with the rookies. You know, it seems like
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: they're gonna be kind of leaning on some of the
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: impact rookies, especially one Caleb Downs during the season. So
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: with that being said, how much time do you think
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: they'll we'll just use him as a How much time
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: do you think they're going to give him on the
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: field during preseason? You don't knowing that that he's a
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: rookie and it's a seventeen game season and all that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: And then I had a question about the kind of
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: a fun question, at least I thought it was about
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: the schedule. Let's say, of the football gods or you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: those football hands of fate, whoever they are, came to
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: you and said, Nick, were going to give you a
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: win on the upcoming schedule, any win market down, you
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: got it. I want to know which game you would
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: choose to take that win in. And me personally I'll
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: answer before I shut up and hang up. I will.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I'm look, I'm halfway mildly obsessed with the forty nine ers.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I know it's a home game, but man, I want
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: to beat that team so badly. Yeah, that's my answer.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: That's a great question, one of them.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: It's a fun it's a fun one.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It is for sure.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, good question. Lot two good questions today. Chris downs
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: in the preseason. I don't think it can be much
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: different than any of the other stars. I remember was
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: it them trying to think was Micah? Was it the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game for Micah? I feel like that
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: was his first game that he was there. Maybe not,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but but he it was wasn't that was it Pittsburgh
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: or or maybe it wasn't Pittsburgh, But I know that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: we were supposed to play Pittsburgh and then twenty twenty season.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I know we came back the next year and played
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who we played, but I know he
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: was complaining about it. He wanted to get out there
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: one another series, and dan Quinn was like, nah, dude,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: it's fine. It was during hard knocks. If you're a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: great player, you're a great player. You're gonna figure it
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: out and and you know, yeah, you can get a
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: little you know, get a few reps here and there,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: just like the rest of the starters for that game.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But it's got to be in and out, man, and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: nothing more than that. You just can't, Like you said,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: seventeen games. I mean they'll they'll figure it out. You can't.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't play him more than I would
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: play any other any other player there. To answer that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: question that that's a that's a great question. I got
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: like a nine way tie right here. I I just
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: think about that flight home from Baltimore. Sure it would
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: be nice for for a w there from the from
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the Rio game. But if you had to give me one,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'll take the Green Bay Packers on October eighteenth. I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: don't know that's that would night game. Go up there
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and Lambeau and win that point in the season. I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: think that would be a huge, huge win. If if
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that one, my other one would probably be
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: December twentieth at the Rams. You get that win coming
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: off of bye week, then you got two home games
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Giants, and then at Washington you have a chance
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to have a pretty good December there, But god, how
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: different times are. I mean, December twentieth against the Rams.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: You've got three games left after that, three games after
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Christmas in the regular season is insane. Because I grew up,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I remember getting a Christmas present in nineteen eighty three.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I got a Christmas present seven years old that tickets
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: on Christmas morning, tickets to the game against the Rams
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and the wild card the next day. So it's crazy
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: how things have changed. That dramatic but great question. I
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of good choices there, but just from
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: everything involved with the Packers game and at Lambeau, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: it's been a while since you've won up there. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: would say that one. I would say that would be
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a fun, fun ride back. All right, Randy and Texas Canada. Randy,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: What's going on? One beautiful mind?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 34:14
  Speaker 13: I'm all right. I guess you heard them say that
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: about you yesterday. I think that was on Talking Cowboys.
• 34:20
  Speaker 13: They're gonna get you a plaque that said, one beautiful mind.
• 34:23
  Speaker 13: They talking about how smart you are on all your
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: cowboy history. Think that's something it is.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I did not hear that that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they're gonna get you a door, your name
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: for your your desk or your door or whatever you
• 34:37
  Speaker 13: got there says that. All right, So let's just this is,
• 34:43
  Speaker 13: you know, it's kind of dead time. I just thought
• 34:45
  Speaker 13: i'd have some deep thoughts about Jack Handy going on here.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 34:50
  Speaker 13: I already know you're probably gonna go against me on this,
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: and and I'm no master debater who anyway, So let
• 34:58
  Speaker 13: me try to exp the best I can do. I'm
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: gonna jump all over the place, so just try to
• 35:05
  Speaker 13: figure me out here, all right, let's go all right?
• 35:06
  Speaker 13: So all right, So would you say, and I'm gonna
• 35:10
  Speaker 13: use two different teams, I'm gonna use us and the Jets.
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: So would you say that this team right now is
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: almost completely different from the team last year Cowboys? Yeah?
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: Not with with all the turnover coaches, players and everything.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I hope, not to be honest with you, I hope
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's not completely different. No, because you're counting on that
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: offense being just as good as it was, if not better.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: So I hope it's not completely different if the defense is.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: But as a team overall, I hope the special teams
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: are still good. I hope the offense is oppotent as
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it is, and the defense is better, I think you
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: have a chance for a better team. So I don't
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: know if that's the answer you're looking for.
• 35:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you're kind of shooting a hole in it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Go for give me your right, give me your here's.
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: The guy, all right. So last year and years before,
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: you know, you always talk about the tanking at the
• 36:07
  Speaker 13: end of the year for the better draft picks. And
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: that's why we used the Jets a little bit because
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: it I can't really use it for us because I mean,
• 36:15
  Speaker 13: we got us an awesome player kind of fell in
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: our lab so it really wouldn't Now if our player
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: would have not been great, then I could have used
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: it anyway. So the whole don't tank for the better
• 36:28
  Speaker 13: draft pick argument from last year, I wouldn't consider tanking,
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: but leaving the starters out at the end so that
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: you can use the backup people like especially backup quarterbacks
• 36:40
  Speaker 13: and stuff like that, so you know what you've got
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: going into this year. So a lot of your argument
• 36:45
  Speaker 13: was you want to finish out the year strong so
• 36:49
  Speaker 13: that it carries into the next year. Well, the next
• 36:51
  Speaker 13: year the team is so different, does it really carry
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: into that? And how the Jets. Where I was going
• 36:58
  Speaker 13: to bring the Jets into it is they kept all
• 37:00
  Speaker 13: their starters in and they accidentally won the game at
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: the end of the year, and it screwed them out
• 37:05
  Speaker 13: of a number one franchise quarterback and now they're having
• 37:09
  Speaker 13: to go after a retreade quarterback again. So the theory
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: of my theory of not necessarily thinking but at the
• 37:21
  Speaker 13: end of the year, if you're out of it, there's
• 37:24
  Speaker 13: nothing to show for it, Is it really not better
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: to go ahead and play all your younger players to
• 37:29
  Speaker 13: see what you could build off of for the next
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: year and if we happen to lose to get a
• 37:35
  Speaker 13: better pick, that's bonus points. Or do you still feel
• 37:39
  Speaker 13: the same about no, leave everybody in. Let's try to
• 37:42
  Speaker 13: finish strunk, Because I just the team is so different
• 37:45
  Speaker 13: this year that I don't see how what they did
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: at the end of the year last year, all these
• 37:50
  Speaker 13: months later, with new coaching, new players and all that,
• 37:53
  Speaker 13: how that really carries over. I just feel like these
• 37:56
  Speaker 13: days now I'm the old days. Yes, And I think
• 37:59
  Speaker 13: that's where a lot of your thoughts may be coming from,
• 38:02
  Speaker 13: because you did, you know, back in the nineties and
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: all that the teams were mainly the same when they
• 38:08
  Speaker 13: came back, but these days it switches up so much
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: that I just don't see how the finish strong last
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: year cherries over to the next year, because I just
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: feel like it's a restart every year.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Well, I mean, you're not
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: wrong in that in saying that you're getting a better
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: draft picked obviously if you lose. I mean, to me,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I always look at that as that's kind of the uh,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the flip side of it. You know that, well, at
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: least you got that at least you know, if you're
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: not going to win the game, at least it might
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: help your draft position. I think it. To me, it
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: comes down to just integrity, really, just the integrity of
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the sport, integrity of the game, and of the money
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: that these people that are going to the games are
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: paying for. Go out there and try to win the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: football game. That's that's that's the way. I just that's
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to say I'm above everybody else
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, I just ain't go win the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: game because I was that little kid that that got
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: that president, and there are kids that wake up in
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the morning get a you know, Christmas President to go
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: watch the Cowboys, and he doesn't understand that they're they're
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: out of it against Washington, doesn't understand the playoff ramorifications.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: He just knows that Dak's out there, CD's out there.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: They got to go win the game. So, you know,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and I think that I still believe that that part
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: of it. Are there ways to do both? Yeah, I
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: think so. And I think they did that. You know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: they are throwing some guys out there. I mean, look
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: at Dak at the end of the season too, Like
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Dak played the game, but then he didn't finish him
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and they lost that Giants game. So I think you
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: pick your spots here and there. You're having to deal
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: with a lot of people's agenda, you know what I mean.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be coaches out there, like like
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: let's say the guy for the Jets, you know, Aaron
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Glenn and and should he be fired, it'll say two
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: years down the road, well what's his record? Are we are?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: We are we looking at record because I thought we weren't.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I thought it was okay that they tanked the game
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: or they want to get you know, you know what
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So these coaches that are trying to win games,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and and these staffs they're they're doing it for their
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: own resume as well, because you you'd hate to be
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: two years down the road and say, well, that guy
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: was two games under five hundred, he should be fired.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Well is he really two games? Because we also tanked
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: those three uh in this season and these two, so
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: we could have won, you know what I'm saying. So
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I always just say go go win. It's a lot.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: It's not as complicated. And if you lose, you lose,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: and and you didn't earn it, you got to get
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: what you earn. You didn't earn that number one pick.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: The Jets did not earn that number one pick. And
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that's just the way I if I'm old school like that, Hey,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: that's that's the way I am. And I get your
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: point about carryover. I forgot who they You know, no
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: one remembers the score of those games last year and
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: all that, so I get it I have to carryover part.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I just think it comes down to the integrity of
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: trying to win the game uh and finish out the
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: season strong because there's a lot of agendas. Okay, that's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: just my take.
• 41:10
  Speaker 13: No, no, good argument. That that makes you the master.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: I had to say it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: You had to get you didn't have to say it twice.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I know that you didn't have to say it twice,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: but you do. That's awesome.
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: All right, right right, all right, all right, brother, we'll
• 41:25
  Speaker 13: talk to.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: You like have you go with man? All right, let's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: keep it going. Joe in Stanford, Texas. Joe, what's up?
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: What brother? How's it going this fine day?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Good man? I was at Stanford High School graduation. Man,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I tell you this, I'm fan of the of the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: forty people graduating in a class. I'm a fan of
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: those graduations, no doubt about it. One hour, whole thing,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: forty people, about six speakers. It's good times. It's a
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: good time to.
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: Do what the trip is.
• 41:56
  Speaker 14: Whenever I was in my teenage years, that graduate class
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: in Stanford was sixty people. My class was fifty people,
• 42:04
  Speaker 14: and now it's forty. So that shows you what's happening
• 42:08
  Speaker 14: in Stanford over the last thirty years.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: I bet you, I'm just gonna say this. I bet
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: you in five years, I bet it's a hundred.
• 42:15
  Speaker 14: Well, well, yeah, it probably will be, because what's happened
• 42:17
  Speaker 14: in north of Abilene exactly.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: All right, man, what do you got?
• 42:21
  Speaker 14: Okay, So, first of all, I'm really just gonna respond
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: to stuff I've been hearing on the show. First of all,
• 42:27
  Speaker 14: as far as is beefing up on linebackers and tight ends,
• 42:30
  Speaker 14: I don't see it happening. I think what you're saying
• 42:32
  Speaker 14: is right. I think we're pretty much settled as far
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: as our roster goes. I think the only way that
• 42:37
  Speaker 14: would change is if there was just like some crazy opportunity,
• 42:40
  Speaker 14: like a team was like, hey, we wouldn't move this
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: guy and Dallas could use somebody. I think that would
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: probably be the only way that we're going to change.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Yea.
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: As far as what you were just talking to Landy about,
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: I agree with Randy. I think at the end of
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: the season, if it's already playoff over, I say put
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: all the kids in, let's get the best draft pick
• 43:01
  Speaker 14: we can get. I hear what you're saying as far
• 43:03
  Speaker 14: as in pegrity in the game and all that stuff,
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: but it doesn't mean we're not trying. It doesn't mean
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: the kids out there are not trying. Is if they're
• 43:10
  Speaker 14: out there trying to win, it just means that we're
• 43:12
  Speaker 14: giving them a chance. And we're watching for next year.
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: And what you said about Aaron Glenn about how he
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: needs to watch for his records is maybe three years
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: down the road. Well maybe Aaron Glenn is thinking I
• 43:22
  Speaker 14: needed better players. Yeah, screw my winner lost it to
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: at the end of the year.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: On Joe. Let me ask you this, and I'm also
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: asking Randy at the same time. Aren't the Cowboys sort
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of already doing this? I mean, aren't they doing what
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you what you're saying, I mean that I.
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: Think they were.
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: We're talking just philosophically, whether it's Cowboys or anybody else.
• 43:43
  Speaker 14: I think for pretty much the last game, especially, they
• 43:46
  Speaker 14: only played back a little bit and then they put
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: a bunch of scrubs out there. So yeah, I agree
• 43:50
  Speaker 14: that they pretty much are. But as far as I'm concerned,
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: they could have done it two games left because we
• 43:55
  Speaker 14: were eliminated. So to me, as soon as soon as
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: it's over, I mean, unless you're screwing some guy that
• 44:03
  Speaker 14: has one of these things in his contract where he
• 44:05
  Speaker 14: needs to be able to make two or three catches
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: or make one touchdown or something like that, to me,
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: it's unfair to those guys to not allow them to
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: have a chance.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: To do that.
• 44:16
  Speaker 14: So that would if I'm a coach, you know, when
• 44:18
  Speaker 14: a player comes to me and says, hey, this is
• 44:20
  Speaker 14: what I need for my contract, I'm not gonna screw
• 44:22
  Speaker 14: that guy, you know, because I understand how that is
• 44:25
  Speaker 14: why I put it in the contract. He's not gonna
• 44:26
  Speaker 14: have the opportunity to go to So that's the way.
• 44:29
  Speaker 14: That's That's the only thing I would look at is
• 44:31
  Speaker 14: But for me, my responsibility is to make the team better.
• 44:34
  Speaker 14: And if making the team better is losing two games
• 44:36
  Speaker 14: at the end of the season to get better players
• 44:38
  Speaker 14: for the next year, to me, that's what you do.
• 44:41
  Speaker 14: So that's just the.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Way I look at it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 14: Oh, I like the guy to two calls before about
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: the picking one win, I was gonna say, you picked
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: up I think you started out with I forgot who
• 44:55
  Speaker 14: you said it first, but then you change to the Rams.
• 44:57
  Speaker 14: That's the game I was thinking to either the Rams
• 44:59
  Speaker 14: or Seattle.
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 45:01
  Speaker 14: I think by the end of the season, those two
• 45:04
  Speaker 14: games are going to be huge, both on the road
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: against teams that are definitely gonna be intention contention to NFC,
• 45:10
  Speaker 14: and we may be in position to overtake one of
• 45:13
  Speaker 14: those guys. So yeah, I would probably pick the Rams too.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big NFC win. And then and then
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: you know it sets you up with two home games
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to go, and and you know, it just sets you
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: up really nicely there coming off off a bye week
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to go to win that game. So that'd be a
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: fun one for sure. Rams Packers again Seattle. I mean really,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you can't go wrong. I mean, a win is a
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: win there, but certainly would be good. I mean even
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Philly on Thanksgiving, I mean that would that would be fun,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: you know, making sure that that you got. I think
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I think they can win that game. I really do.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I mean I think they can win that game already.
• 45:50
  Speaker 14: But yeah, I would pick a game that I really
• 45:53
  Speaker 14: feel like it's going to be for sure, almost very
• 45:56
  Speaker 14: hard to win. I don't think you get a guaranteed
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: w at one of those to NFC West. That's great.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking about fan bases and stuff like that. Man,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: it would here's another one. Go win, go beat Houston
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that yes, please?
• 46:13
  Speaker 14: What the what are the guys that win it? The armpit?
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, go go go throw some of deodor in
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: on that and go go win that game, especially coming
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: off the of the game with Baltimore. If you go
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: back on the road, everyone's going to be complaining about that,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: how the NFL screws over the Cowboys with this game
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: and the Bucks game. Just go go down there. It's
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: forty five minute flight. Go down there, take care of
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: business in Houston, own the state again and and and
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: do that. I think that would be. That's another one.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: So I mean, it's just about every game on the
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: schedule for me. So yeah, all right, man, have a
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: good one. Go to keep it going. Robbie, He's in
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie, what's up.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: Today?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: How you doing.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: I'm awesome.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: I'm watching guys work.
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: It's beautiful.
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: Do you watch talking listening to Talking Cowboys yesterday? You
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: hear what they said about you.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I somebody just related to me on here, But I
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: did not hear that.
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: No, Yeoman's was calling you a beautiful mind savant about
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: Cowboys and all the Super Bowls for the past fifty years.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: It was pretty cool, man.
• 47:24
  Speaker 15: He wasn't making funny, just a little bit bit.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: No, that's cool. I mean we all have our thing
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that we remember. I mean, the thing about the Super Bowls.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I can take it all the way up to about
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: the you know, like forty three or forty four, and
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: then like last year. I don't even remember last year,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: to be honest, Seattle, Seattle over the Gentleman. But but
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you know, because it's always as if you had to
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: just guess, you just throw New England out there, like
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: New England, and like, yeah, yeah, maybe.
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: Oh god, I hate to hear that, right.
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: You could be saying that about the cowboys and cowboys, right.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that was kind of the seventies. You could
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: throw the cowboys and Steelers out there, and you were
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: probably not wrong.
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: So what's in the nineties and eighties? Hey, So when
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: we first started this shindig, and I say we because
• 48:09
  Speaker 15: it was obviously your brains out and your dad and
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: your mom, but it was us to the fans, and
• 48:15
  Speaker 15: you talked a lot about wrestling. I'm not a huge
• 48:18
  Speaker 15: wrestling fan, okay, I guess I liked it. I like
• 48:21
  Speaker 15: Jake the Snake, he was pretty cool back in the day.
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: But I don't watch it.
• 48:24
  Speaker 15: Thirty years my son has really gotten into wrestling, My
• 48:28
  Speaker 15: ten year old, and we went to Jacksonville on May eighth,
• 48:32
  Speaker 15: about three hours away, and washed wrestling and I paid
• 48:36
  Speaker 15: the extra money and has front row seats and it
• 48:39
  Speaker 15: was pretty awesome.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 48:42
  Speaker 15: My kid knew every wrestler and he was woot and
• 48:44
  Speaker 15: hollering and knew every single chant. It was the most
• 48:49
  Speaker 15: cool spectator sport I've ever seen, and I'll tell you
• 48:51
  Speaker 15: it was. It costs a little bit to be up
• 48:54
  Speaker 15: there right in the front row, but it was well
• 48:56
  Speaker 15: worth it. Yeah, and if you ever get a chance
• 48:59
  Speaker 15: to take Jake man, I recommend it. It was the best
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: thing ever.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: I have taken him to WrestleMania at this at the
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: stadium a little different though, WrestleMania in a at the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: at at and T Stadium, and uh, we got some tickets.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: We were fortunate for that. He he he liked except
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: for the fact that there was a rumor that the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: rock was going to come out and that was going
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to happen. So the whole night we were like waiting
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: on that and never happened.
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: But so there was kind of happened the same here too.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit of a letdown, but that that's
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: probably how it goes. But anyways, what what a cool
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: experience that that would be.
• 49:38
  Speaker 15: So yeah, and that's that's I've been wanted to share
• 49:41
  Speaker 15: that with you since the eighth of May. But I
• 49:43
  Speaker 15: tried to call in and always forget because talking football
• 49:45
  Speaker 15: and there's so much talk about But you know, right now,
• 49:47
  Speaker 15: there's not a whole lot to talk about except linebackers
• 49:51
  Speaker 15: or defensive ends or quarterbacks of safetyes. But who really knows.
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: We're not done with free agency yet.
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: Let's uh yeah, I mean June.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, don't forget June first. There's car and June first
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: cuts and then that that will happen. There will be
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: some guys out there, you know for that, so and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys or players in that.
• 50:13
  Speaker 15: Hey, it's always nice talking. I appreciate the show.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 50:17
  Speaker 15: It really made a great community and I always want
• 50:19
  Speaker 15: to thank you for that.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you Robie. You guys you are a
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: big part of it, and you know you can't do
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the show without the community. So definitely throw it right
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: back at you. All right, man, have a good day.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Good fun show so far, kind of lighthearted,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: you know, nothing too crazy. Uh, let's go to Armando
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: in Mexico City.
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: Armando, Hey, meat, how what are you good?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 50:47
  Speaker 16: Fine? Fine? A little angry about the international game being
• 50:51
  Speaker 16: in Brazilly, not in Mexico with what you want to do. Yeah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 16: so I was thinking about that. Uh, actually a lot
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: of people don't realize that. Still it's such an hour flight,
• 51:05
  Speaker 16: but it's only about two hours time difference with ballots actually,
• 51:09
  Speaker 16: so it's not like going to Europe with seven hours
• 51:12
  Speaker 16: difference or two Australia sixteen. So jet Lige's not going
• 51:16
  Speaker 16: to have problem at least with that.
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: So not that much.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Jet lags not the issue here. The issue is the
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: ten hour flight down there. You know that that's going
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: to be the issue. It's yeah, you're right. Time difference
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: is not that much of it, and it's really we
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: do that in California two hour time difference. It's not
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be a big deal there. It's just it's just
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: kind of a quick turnaround because it's a long I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: think we'll be leaving on a Thursday night, so you
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of turnaround Friday Saturday. You gotta
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: get your legs under you after a long flight, get
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: on the field for a little bit Friday and Saturday,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and then go play that game Sunday. So yeah, jetlag's
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: not the issue. But maybe just like the quick turnaround
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: with the long flight.
• 51:58
  Speaker 16: Yeah. So anyway, I hadn't had a chance to comment
• 52:03
  Speaker 16: about the draft about getting tailored bounce as you can
• 52:07
  Speaker 16: believe it. I wanted Sony Styles, but I never in
• 52:11
  Speaker 16: a million years dreamed that cal was a possibility. That's
• 52:15
  Speaker 16: why I like Sony Styles. I remember watching that at
• 52:21
  Speaker 16: a draft night. It was like watching a sixty yard
• 52:26
  Speaker 16: from Aubrey when you see the the ball going on,
• 52:31
  Speaker 16: but you cannot celebrate until you see the referees actually
• 52:34
  Speaker 16: make the signal, you know, something like that. Yeah, so
• 52:38
  Speaker 16: I feel it also. I think it was awesome.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it goes well, so.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep going.
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yes, I final I thought, do you think
• 52:52
  Speaker 16: that with the sign of understanding, the Mingle experiment is over?
• 52:58
  Speaker 11: Already?
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Say that again?
• 53:00
  Speaker 16: In you know, now that they signed Marcus Valde Scantling
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: to the roster, you think Mingo is gone finally?
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Uh I, I I'm sorry, mindro I'm having a hard
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: time hearing you, I really am. I know you said
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: something about Valdez Scantling, but I'm not hearing anything else
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: about what's going on at that position.
• 53:22
  Speaker 16: So, yeah, you think that the experiment is Mingo, He's
• 53:26
  Speaker 16: finally over done that they signed Scantling about the standing all.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Right, they they I appreciate it. Thanks for the call, Chris.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Can you hear what he's saying? What is he? Who
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is he the experiment with? Who? Do you even know? Yeah?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: He said, there's an experiment with somebody? And I can't
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: understand who he's he's talking about there, Mingo, Maybe is
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: that what he What was he saying? Mingo, that would
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: kind of make sense that that's what he's what he's saying.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I'll just talk about that that position because because the
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Mingo Valdez Scantling kind of in that same boat, I guess,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, both veteran guys. One's a lot older than
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: the other. I think I think that I think the
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Valdes Scantling move is really more kind of covering their
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: bases for for the offseason two. You know, I mean,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: you don't expect to have a lot of pickings. Here's
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: a veteran that that can pick things up. He's gone
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: to different teams, He's played in a lot of different
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: systems as far as coordinators go. So he's a guy
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: that you know, his production is not super high, it
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: never has been. He's had a couple of good years
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: here and there. But and he's he's played with good
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks too. I mean, sorry, he's played with great quarterbacks.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: He's played with Aaron Rodgers and Mahomes and so you know,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to come to this offense here
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: and and I haven't looked this up, but he's been
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: around so many teams and coordinators. I wouldn't be surprised
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: if Schottenheimer hasn't been with him before. But I don't
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: know that. I haven't actually gone that far to look
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: that up. But shot, he's been with a lot of teams,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: so scantling but or at least people on this offense
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: that that would know him. I think that's sort of
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: what this is. I don't think the door is being
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: shut on any receiver, Mingo included. But I just think
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: it was just another opportunity to get a veteran in here,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: especially this offseason with with pickings probably going to be limited,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: and then whatever happens happens. If you know, if he
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: if he finds it, you know, this is a great
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: opportunity for him, and and it works, then you know
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: he still has a good shot to make it. But
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I still would would put him on the outside looking
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: in as far as what the roster would go, you know,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: knowing what they think of Flinoy, knowing where Turpen kind
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: of sits. With this position, there's not a lot of
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: spots available. They drafted Anthony Smith and later he's got
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of speed, So there's not a lot of
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: opportunities for these for these receivers, especially veterans that don't
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: really play a lot of special team. All right, let
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: me go to break real quick on Cowboys storyline. Be
• 56:03

• 57:33
  Speaker 8: Miche even?
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: How you doing good? How are you?
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Not too much?
• 57:37
  Speaker 17: And it's nice to have a little bit of a
• 57:39
  Speaker 17: quiet off season. Note tubles or anything going on right now.
• 57:42
  Speaker 17: The most talkedaberginants the pick and sing and of course
• 57:44
  Speaker 17: the schedule. But when it comes to the schedule ib
• 57:46
  Speaker 17: be though it's not like a lot of fans and
• 57:47
  Speaker 17: a lot of fundings and the news are like kind
• 57:50
  Speaker 17: of given. We got to built an excuse to a
• 57:52
  Speaker 17: degree of how tough discussion is going to be. But
• 57:54
  Speaker 17: at this point, I'm like, it's the second season for Brian.
• 57:58
  Speaker 17: We don't have time to capo up around. We don't
• 58:00
  Speaker 17: have time to mess around at all. What I need
• 58:02
  Speaker 17: out of them in that first series of games before
• 58:04
  Speaker 17: the bye week is we need eight of those games
• 58:05
  Speaker 17: before the bye week and reactwords. So I think eleven
• 58:08
  Speaker 17: gets us where we need to be. I don't care
• 58:10
  Speaker 17: how you do it. All the little teams, all the
• 58:12
  Speaker 17: teams that are like the Giants and stuff like that,
• 58:14
  Speaker 17: you got to show them who the big bro is
• 58:15
  Speaker 17: and you got to go out there and come out
• 58:17
  Speaker 17: with your pedal to the medal from game one. Three
• 58:20
  Speaker 17: games that we need to win in that first chunk.
• 58:22
  Speaker 17: We need to win that Ravens game to show that
• 58:24
  Speaker 17: we can play with playoff teams. We got to beat
• 58:25
  Speaker 17: the Eagles at least one of those two times, and
• 58:27
  Speaker 17: we need to deal with the ghosts of the past
• 58:29
  Speaker 17: miss San Francisco forty nine ers. I think once we
• 58:32
  Speaker 17: do that the rest of that latter half of the season.
• 58:35
  Speaker 17: The one game that we're going to have an issue
• 58:37
  Speaker 17: with is probably going to be the Rams. You know,
• 58:38
  Speaker 17: common opponent, very good opponent. Playoff component, doesn't matter if
• 58:42
  Speaker 17: we win or lose that game, as long as we
• 58:43
  Speaker 17: get those three of those four games for that last set.
• 58:46
  Speaker 17: But I think that that's how this needs to go
• 58:48
  Speaker 17: in order for this season to get us into the
• 58:49
  Speaker 17: playoffs so that we can make some noise. And if
• 58:51
  Speaker 17: we can do that, I think I have a lot
• 58:53
  Speaker 17: of confidence by then, the defense will have jailed, the
• 58:55
  Speaker 17: offense will be running well. So two of the most
• 58:57
  Speaker 17: important players that have to look out for this season
• 58:59
  Speaker 17: on both sides of the ball are both of the
• 59:01
  Speaker 17: Williams This outside of DAK, I think Quinn Williams and
• 59:05
  Speaker 17: Devonte Williams are going to be two of the most
• 59:07
  Speaker 17: important parts of this team that sees it good day.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you say eight wins before the bye,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: and you know that sounds like a lot, But I
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: mean if you want to make the playoffs, I mean
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to do, right, You're going
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: to have to get ten or eleven eleven will get
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: you in ten. It'll just depend on on, you know,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: where what the division looks like. You know, I think
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I think the division is going to be very even
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: and teams kind of beating each other. So it's very
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: important for the Cowboys to continue their run of you know,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: winning these games on the road at Washington, you know,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: at the Giants. They they've got to continue to do
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff because these you know, these other games,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I mean at Green Bay and at Houston, even at
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: the Colts at Seattle is not gonna be easy. For sure.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: You're Williams brothers comment. If that happens, then I think
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you've got an opportunity to be like, if they both
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: play really well, then I think the narrative for this
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: team is gonna be that the Cowboys have a good,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: tough football team because if Quinn Williams is kind of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: manning the middle there on defense, it's gonna be hard
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: not to not for the linebackers not to go and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: do their thing. I think they'll be running and hitting
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: and playing well and being a tough football team. And
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I think that on offense, if Davante is running the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: way we've seen him run last year and is that
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: kind of bruiser back then they're gonna be a tough,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: grinded out offensive team as well too. So if you
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: have a tough football team, you're tough to beat. And
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I think that that's you know, well said as far
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: as those two players, because I think it gives you
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: an identity. Everyone's always talking about what's your identity. I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: think if those two guys were playing at their best,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I think your identity is that you're a tough, tough
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: football team. All right, Harold in Pennsylvania. I haven't said
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that one before. Harold, Pennsylvania. What's up? Hold on, Nick,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 18: I'm doing good. How's it going for you?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: That's good? First time caller?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: Yep, there you go.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 18: Well, I was just listened to some of them guys
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 18: talk about tanking. That's a good way to lose your players.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 18: They're putting tape out not only for the Cowboys but
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 18: for thirty one other teams. And you tank it, you're
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 18: going to lose your players, just like ibl Foos lost
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: his players during the season last year.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, everybody has a different take on this,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and I think, but you know, what people are saying
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: is is that you play the players. I mean, everyone's
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: trying to win. It's just that it's just that how
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: how much how committed are you would playing your best hand? Yeah,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I'm just not for it.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not really for arguing about it because everyone it
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's kind of like the preseason. Yeah,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: your guys will be better if you play in the preseason.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: If they play in the preseason, they're gonna be better
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: for it. But what's the risk? And you know, so
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: it's that kind of argument too. But for me, if
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: i'm I'm I'm trying to play to win the game,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: and if that helps your draft or hurts your draft status,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I just don't feel like you've earned it. So that's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: that's just me. But I I can see it. I mean,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: they would have won that game against the Giants. If
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys had won the game against the Giants, they're
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: not picking Caleb Downs. I think that's very fair. So
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: factor all that into it, you know, Yeah, so what
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: else you got?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: You got anything else?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 18: No, I'm just commenting on that. That's what got me
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 18: about thanking the games. I agree with herm Edwards that
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 18: you played to win the game.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Well, Harold, I appreciate it. Being a
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: cowboy fan, whether you're an Eagle Country or Steeler Country
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: or both, being.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 18: A cowboy I'm in the middle.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, being a cowboy fan up there is not easy
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: either way. So I appreciate, uh, you sticking with.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 18: It, all right, been over fifty years, all right, all.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Right, Harold, have a good one. I love the name, Harold.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: That's my grandfather's name, so I just I don't know why.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: I always always love the name. Thanks for calling Harold.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: All right. We got William He's in West Virginia. Williams
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: starting to call a little bit more like it.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 19: I know, Man, you get to og some representation.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: Man, I'm here.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: I'm here to represent all Yeah.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Well you know what you're you're the OLG. But you're
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: also right here. It's calling as much as anybody else.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: And this and this is what was this our fourth season, right, Christy?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I think it is.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 14: I thought was.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 19: I thought it was a third about wrong maybe I
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: thought third.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: We've done three all all storyline teams now and so this.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 19: Is we're getting in the season four.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: We're in the season four. As far as we flip
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: it over, in April. So yeah, technically this is our
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: fourth season of it, so time fly. That's right, there
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: we go.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 19: No, I thought I piggyback on. One of the earlier
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 19: callers had a great question about which game would you
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 19: like to win the most? I mean, you want to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 19: win them all. I'd love for us to be able to,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: you know, beat the seventy two Dolphins back, you know,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 19: when they were undefeated and.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: All that stuff.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 19: To think about the team, the Cowboys had to beat
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 19: them before they went undefeated. That's how good they were
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 19: when they be in twenty four to three. Right, But
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 19: the game stands out to me. I would like to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 19: beat Baltimore. We've ever beat them once at all. I mean,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 19: I mean they I'd like to see him win that
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 19: game in my wifetime. It's crazy they've never been then.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: They have beaten Baltimore.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 18: They have.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm must have missed that.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: I'm must to miss that game.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: When was that twenty sixteen maybe Dak's rookie year, Dak
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: and Zeke. Pretty sure, I'm gonna look at up like
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: something like, oh, if you're roy.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 14: If I missed it, that's all I take them.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 19: I'll take a senior moment on.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: That I I miss that twenty seven to twenty something
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: like that and a touchdown twenty four to seventeen. That's
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm guessing. I'm looking it up, but I know
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: that they beat Baltimore at home in twenty sixteen, twenty
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: seven seventeen they did yep, right before Thanks Living Well, I'll.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 19: Say, okay, I'll say I'll take the ball now. I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 19: think senior moment being Ojus, you.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Know what, William? You know what, though, let's split the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: difference here. They've never beaten them in Brazil. They haven't.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: They have not been him in Brazil or anyone. You
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: have to play.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 19: You know, that's gonna be like a Cowboy home game
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 19: down here. I mean we would get that Mexico City game.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 19: You got to like a Cowboy home game down They
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 19: knew that. Plenty of representation down there. But I think
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 19: the Green Bay game would be one I'd like to
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 19: win too, because yeah, you know, it's God he is.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: I mean, ever since Zeke's and Dack's rookie year, that's
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 19: what I remember. They went up there and Zeke had
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 19: that huge game. I just get tired of losing the
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 19: Green Bay and I'm the glass, not in December when
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 19: the snow's flying, so they.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: Can win that game to win win.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: But I love the show and I appreciate you letting
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 19: it get on there.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: You keep doing the great work.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks William. You know you love that
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: game against Green Bay when they win. They won up
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: there at Lambeau. You won that, like you loved it
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: so much that you forgot that. About a month later
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: they beat Baltimore. Uh, it was kind of a forgettable game,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean it was not a lot happening
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: there right before Thanksgiving. Just well, I mean I say
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: not a lot happening. It was like there, what ninth
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: win in a row or eighth win in a row.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I mean they were, they were on a roll. So
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just they just kept stacking wins that season,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, it wasn't really a forgettable I mean
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: it was it was forgettable. But yeah, you know some
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: of these other they they haven't won at Baltimore. I
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: don't believe. I know this isn't a road game, but
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think they Yeah, I can't. I haven't ever
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: seen them win up there in Baltimore. So yeah, this
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: is that would be a big win too, just just
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: you know, because of the travel and the schedule and
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: early in the year like that. Uh, if you if
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: you can get that one, you know, that's gonna be
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: a good team. I mean, that's that's probably the best
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: quarterback you're gonna face, arguably. I'm looking at all the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: other quarterbacks Stafford. I mean, Stafford's playing amazing, and he's
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: the MVP. But I mean, as far as challenges go,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: and and and you want these linebackers to be running around,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to have a a tougher
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: matchup athletically than then going up against Lamar and Jackson.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 18: By the way, they're one and six against one in.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Six against Baltimore. All right, here we go. All right,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: let's one one more. Well, we got a couple more
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: college we can take. Let's take Randy in Dallas.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: How's it going, man, How are you doing?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: First time?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, first time you go?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: I'm good. I'm good. Since liw off season, I wanted
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: to and you've been talking about the old school, I
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: wanted you to want to know. If you saw the
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: article in the paper this weekend about quinnel Green being
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: put in the Ring of Honor and how special his
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: uh career was of never playing football in college and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: starting safe cornerback, going to safety, making Pro Bowls in both.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I did not. I did not see
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the article, but I've heard about it and I and
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I know that Brad Sham has mentioned his name over
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: and over over the years that that he should be. Uh,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: he's the most deserving player, you know, not in it
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: now when you say an article, the article was pitching
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: him to be in the Ring of Honor, not that
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: he's going in right.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: Now, but correct And yeah.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tim Kalishaw maybe wrote it or or I feel
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: like he was a part of it. John Wooten was
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: was being quoted in there as saying that that he's,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: you know, he needs to be in the Hall of
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. And for me, I can't I can't
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: argue it because I I didn't watch him play. But
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: stats speak for himself, and it was a it was
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: a great pick. It was it was it was right
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: in the Cowboys wheelhouse with Gil Brandt back than of
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: just getting these players they weren't even football players, you know,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: they just had a knack for it. I mean Bob
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Hayes was running track, winning you know, the gold medal
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: in the Olympics, and then he turned into a Hall
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: of Fame football player. So I I believe it that
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: he's worthy. I believe it. I just didn't see it,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: but I think that, you know, his stats speak for himself.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: Like I said, I agree, I agree, And I just wanted,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: you know, the old school people they know who is
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: and you know, the problem is a lot of people,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: including yourself, didn't warn't around then yeah, you know, you know,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: they just you know, they didn't see it. And for
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: somebody that was six foot six foot four basketball guard,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: yeah yeah, it was interesting.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then him and mel Renfro both like they
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: they both were kind of like interchangeable. You know, they
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: both were playing corner, both playing safety. Unbelievable guilt brand.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: That's just what he was. He was looking at turning
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: over every rock and it was working.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: Right, it did it didn't I hope they I hope
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: they do it. They are you know, do the right
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: thing and put him in.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I would put him on the list as
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: well of guys that need to go in. So because
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: because you got some you got some newer guys that
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: are going to go in here soon. So I'm not
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: saying that you close the door on anybody. It doesn't
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: happen that way. But it would be nice to get
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: some of these some of these older guys. I think
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Everson Walls is in there. I'd love to see Nate
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Newton in there, to be honest with you, I mean, yes,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about guys on our show. Sure, but Nate
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Newton's a six time pro bowler. He deserves to be
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: in so. But Cornell Green, you know, I didn't watch
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: him play, but I trust the people that did, and
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm with you on that.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate it, That's all I wanted to say.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Randy, appreciate that. What's going on with the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: like that we have like a new line or something, Chris?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: We got like first time callers coming in? We got
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: another one here? How do I how do I say
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: this here? Big big amish, amish, big amish? What's up
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: from Washington, DC?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir? How doing well? Nick? I got one thing
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 10: to say as a first time caller. How about them cowboys?
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Y'all right? All right, we'll get We'll get Jimmy to
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: say it. On the way out. How about that perfect?
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: What's well? As far as the identity is concerned, I
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: think there's there's going to be two components. One is
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: the identity that's going to be established during the season,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 10: and I think you pointed out defense and offense. They
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 10: both need the identities to be defined during the season.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 10: I don't think it's happening in the first part, especially
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: not on defense against. You're going to have to wait
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: for that to gel. It just takes time. Now we
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 10: could be lucky if it hits fine, But then the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 10: identity in the playoffs, this is where the mind games
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 10: are going to be played. Only because of the failures
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: in the past, how are we going to overcome that?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 10: That's what I hope the identity during the season will
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 10: carry over and establish that mental confidence, that mental superiority
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 10: that you're going to need, that you know when things
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 10: are going not your way, that you're going to be
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 10: able to overcome them and see that in the playoffs.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 10: And I hope I'm saying we're going ten and seven
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: into the playoffs and making that run. But I'm also
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: hoping for personnel to be acquired. More personnel up until
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: the trade deadline so that's all I have to say.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, they thank you for the call.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: It's good to hear from you for the first time.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't have a ton of assets to trade,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: you know, when you get into next year's picks and
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: all that, they don't they've already lost some of those picks.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: But you know, you talked about identity and one thing
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: about this team that you could say over the last
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: few years. I mean, yeah, they beat the Eagles at
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: home and Kansas City at home. In Kansas City, wasn't
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: you know, there was a down year for them and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: their standards. But you know, winning games, you know, on
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: the road against the elite teams, not the ones that
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: we think are elite, but the ones that proved to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: be elite. You know, at the end of the year,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: when you look back and go, that was a good win,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: that was a really good, strong win. Those games have
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: escaped the Cowboys and it's probably the reason why they
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: haven't made the playoffs. Even the years that they have
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs, I think you could have made those
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: arguments that yeah, they're they're beating the division teams that
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: are down and they're taking advantage of this win and
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: this win. But when it comes to it, because that's
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: what when you get to the playoffs, you got to
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: be ready for those kind of teams. And they haven't
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: done that, so I think they're gonna get their fill
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: of that. So to go back to the caller, you know,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Chris and San Angelo, who had a really great call
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: and and he asked the question about which games would
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: you want to go win. That's one of the reasons
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: why I picked green Bay is not only to beat
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: them and you know, avenge that tie from last year
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: and beat Micah Parsons and win at a historic stadium
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: and all that, but but to go prove to the
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: world at NBC a night game on the road at
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Green Bay that you can go and win and beat
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: good football teams. And that's that's escaped the Cowboys and
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: that's something that needs to change for them to turn
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: things around. That's my opinion on that, guys. Great show.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Couldn't have asked for more, you know, fifteen calls, there
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: you go, there you go. How about how about you
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: guys too? Three first time callers here in the final segment,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: always looking to build the show, and I'm glad you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: guys proved that you can get in you know you can.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: You can get in here and and uh and make
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: these calls. Got to hear from some of the captains,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: some of the regulars, so great, great mix of callers
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: today and great conversation even during a kind of a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: dead period here. We should have some news later today.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: I think the preseason schedule, the the the official times
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: and dates on that are going to be announced. I
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if that affects some of you guys that
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: are trying to go to these games, but we're gonna
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: get that later in the afternoon. So all right, we've
• 1:16:33
