- 0:19Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman, What is up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline
- 0:27Speaker 2: presented by Gellette. Wednesday, December thirty first, And this is it.
- 0:32Speaker 2: This is the last one, last one of the week
- 0:36Speaker 2: before the game. This is the last one of the year.
- 0:39Speaker 2: It's the last one of the regular season. This is it.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Now we will do weekly shows again, and we're trying
- 0:47Speaker 2: to figure out we may do two shows at least
- 0:49Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks as we try to tape
- 0:52Speaker 2: our TV shows as well. So next week's next week.
- 0:54Speaker 2: That's all. That's another that's twenty twenty six. That's a
- 0:57Speaker 2: whole other calendar year. This one. Let's wrap this up,
- 1:00Speaker 2: do it the right way. Eight A eight eight five
- 1:03Speaker 2: five two two nine seven. I'm sure there'll be some
- 1:05Speaker 2: some Trayvon Diggs talk today. Trayvon Diggs was surprisingly released
- 1:12Speaker 2: on Tuesday. I say surprisingly, I think the timing of
- 1:16Speaker 2: it that when they parted ways was was the surprise,
- 1:20Speaker 2: the fact that he's, you know, no longer a part
- 1:22Speaker 2: of the team that that we could see that one coming,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but you know, when they did it, why they did it,
- 1:28Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff be interesting to kind of
- 1:31Speaker 2: see what some of these uh would would Schottenheimer has
- 1:35Speaker 2: to say when next time Jerry talks about it, Stephen,
- 1:39Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll, you know, at some point we'll get
- 1:42Speaker 2: all of the details. But from kind of what we know, uh,
- 1:46Speaker 2: it seemed like the road trip and the flight back
- 1:50Speaker 2: and then you know from Washington was kind of the
- 1:53Speaker 2: final straw. And uh but with anything, with any breakup,
- 1:58Speaker 2: there's never one thing, it's always just the final thing.
- 2:01Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to the phone lines, Danny and Henderson, Nevada. Good,
- 2:06Speaker 2: How are you doing great.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I just have a couple questions real quick. I just
- 2:12Speaker 3: want your thoughts maybe on what you think of back
- 2:15Speaker 3: playing this week. I personally am a little worried about
- 2:18Speaker 3: him getting hurt.
- 2:19Speaker 4: He's been hit a lot.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Three of the last four weeks. I'd like to see
- 2:23Speaker 3: Milton also on Diggs. I know, I think we're saving
- 2:27Speaker 3: about twelve and a half million on the cap next year,
- 2:31Speaker 3: and six million is still dead money, and I just
- 2:34Speaker 3: wanted to know I'm not sure if at six million
- 2:38Speaker 3: stays no matter what, or if he gets claimed or
- 2:41Speaker 3: signs as a free agent, does that money go with him.
- 2:45Speaker 3: And then lastly, I just want to thank you for
- 2:46Speaker 3: a great year, Nick, and also to Chris in the back.
- 2:50Speaker 3: You let out all us Cowboy fans bring our love
- 2:53Speaker 3: to the Cowboys to the next level by talking to
- 2:55Speaker 3: you and to one another on the platform. So I
- 3:00Speaker 3: also want to say there's a lot of people out
- 3:01Speaker 3: there that listen to this, but they can't call in
- 3:04Speaker 3: because they work. And that was me until I retired
- 3:06Speaker 3: this year. So thanks for everything you do for us.
- 3:09Speaker 3: We really appreciate it and I look forward to calling
- 3:12Speaker 3: me back in twenty six.
- 3:13Speaker 2: All right, Dan, thank you so much. Appreciate that really
- 3:17Speaker 2: really nice words. Dak you know selfishly if I'm there
- 3:26Speaker 2: and we're watching the game, and yeah, you know, I
- 3:30Speaker 2: want to see Dak play selfishly, and I think everybody
- 3:35Speaker 2: kind of does too. You know, you'd rather see you know,
- 3:40Speaker 2: and that's if you want them to win, and you know,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and but there's there's teams out there that don't really
- 3:44Speaker 2: want them to win, that would like the Giants to
- 3:47Speaker 2: not only win and drop down in the in the
- 3:50Speaker 2: draft order and the Cowboys stay where they are and
- 3:53Speaker 2: all those those good things. I don't know why meet
- 3:56Speaker 2: me personally from whether it be stats or or or what.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I just I would rather see Dak out there for
- 4:04Speaker 2: for a little bit. I think he'll start. I don't
- 4:07Speaker 2: know if he'll play all of it. We'll see how
- 4:11Speaker 2: much if if If Will Greer is elevated maybe from
- 4:15Speaker 2: the practice squad, then then I think we'll know what
- 4:17Speaker 2: the plans are with him. I get the injury part
- 4:21Speaker 2: of it, but I don't know. I mean, again, it's selfish.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I guess I'd rather just Dic play some. As for
- 4:29Speaker 2: the digs in his money, so you the it doesn't
- 4:35Speaker 2: matter about the claim and all that that kind of stuff.
- 4:37Speaker 2: That's just the base salaries that they're that they're claiming
- 4:41Speaker 2: if they pick, if they pick that up, just whatever
- 4:43Speaker 2: his base salary is for the rest of this year,
- 4:45Speaker 2: which was guaranteed, so the Cowboys are paying that anyways.
- 4:48Speaker 2: It's not like they're not having to pay this final
- 4:51Speaker 2: week of the season. It was already guaranteed because he's
- 4:53Speaker 2: a vested veteran and he's on the roster in Week one,
- 4:56Speaker 2: so that's not that's not part of the thing and
- 5:00Speaker 2: why they're saving anything. They were going they had two
- 5:03Speaker 2: options really when you cut them, you you you can
- 5:06Speaker 2: make post June one cut where you cut them in
- 5:09Speaker 2: March or whenever that is. They have to do that
- 5:11Speaker 2: in March, but you do the post June one and
- 5:13Speaker 2: then you save you know, they would save I think
- 5:17Speaker 2: twelve million this year, but then they'd be on the
- 5:20Speaker 2: hook for some next year. They're just taking all of
- 5:24Speaker 2: it now, you know, they're not they're not splitting it
- 5:27Speaker 2: up into this year next year. They're just gonna take it.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I think the savings by doing it, they'll save about
- 5:32Speaker 2: six millions here, so this year. That's that's you know,
- 5:37Speaker 2: pretty much that that's pretty much how how those things work. Yeah,
- 5:42Speaker 2: you can get more more money right now. But but
- 5:45Speaker 2: then again, the Cowboys aren't just managing twenty twenty six,
- 5:48Speaker 2: you know, cap they're managing twenty seven as well, and
- 5:51Speaker 2: that one seems to be a little bit more problematic
- 5:53Speaker 2: than next year. So that that's I think that the
- 5:56Speaker 2: reason why they decided to do They were gonna do
- 5:58Speaker 2: it anyways, and they say we're gonna let's go in Illinois.
- 6:04Speaker 5: What's going on what to do, what to do?
- 6:05Speaker 3: My boy?
- 6:07Speaker 2: How you doing right?
- 6:09Speaker 5: Doing great? It was all good just a week ago,
- 6:12Speaker 5: said by the great poor Jay z uh Tray Diggs
- 6:16Speaker 5: out it was a good run. But uh, we'll see
- 6:20Speaker 5: you on the other side. I guess at the end
- 6:22Speaker 5: of the day. Uh, he was Uh, he was a
- 6:26Speaker 5: good player for us, and I enjoyed him and I
- 6:28Speaker 5: got a jersey. But actually I just I'm glad. I'm
- 6:33Speaker 5: glad they went on to deal what they needed to do.
- 6:35Speaker 6: Uh.
- 6:36Speaker 5: When he lost his besty back into August, it was
- 6:38Speaker 5: pretty much down here from there. Uh. As far as
- 6:42Speaker 5: the game, I know you're talking about Dad playing, I'm
- 6:45Speaker 5: all about Dak planning. I want him to go because
- 6:48Speaker 5: he said, you want to go if if you want
- 6:50Speaker 5: to compete every day, and that's what you want to do.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Let the boys compete. Finish the year strong, get eight
- 6:55Speaker 5: and eight because they really ain't gonna the draft position
- 6:57Speaker 5: really gonna be a big deal because we're gonna mean
- 6:59Speaker 5: the team anyway. Yeah, so don get you go get
- 7:03Speaker 5: your wi Uh. From my New Year's resolution this year,
- 7:09Speaker 5: well this year going forward, I will not really get
- 7:13Speaker 5: into it with people that do not like Dak anymore.
- 7:16Speaker 5: I am just going to laugh in your face if
- 7:18Speaker 5: you have a problem with Dak. Now, it's just it's
- 7:21Speaker 5: just crossed over football lines. It's strictly personal now because
- 7:24Speaker 5: the guy did all they could do to help us
- 7:26Speaker 5: out this year and he did not get any help
- 7:29Speaker 5: from his defense. So that's my new year's resolution going forward.
- 7:33Speaker 2: But are you saying, I mean, do you even hang
- 7:38Speaker 2: out with people that aren't cowboy fans? I mean, are
- 7:42Speaker 2: these cowboy fans that that that that feel that way
- 7:45Speaker 2: about Dak?
- 7:47Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah they say they are yo. Yeah,
- 7:52Speaker 5: it's funny. Yeah, I just I just it's just, uh,
- 7:55Speaker 5: it's I mean, for some reason, I just don't think why.
- 7:58Speaker 5: I don't get why Peop but don't like him as
- 8:01Speaker 5: a as a player. I get you know that he's
- 8:03Speaker 5: felled and failed a couple of times when we really
- 8:05Speaker 5: needed to come through. But for this year, if you're
- 8:08Speaker 5: still mad about his contract and all that, yeah, hey man,
- 8:12Speaker 5: just you know whatever, dog it is what it is.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I'm just gonna just laugh your face. He's not going nowhere.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Jared's gonna be the general general manager until whenever. So
- 8:21Speaker 5: them two things are staple. So yeah, here is what
- 8:24Speaker 5: it is. But uh, I think we're gonna win. Probably,
- 8:28Speaker 5: I say, if Dax slaying at least thirty twenty somewhere
- 8:31Speaker 5: around now, you know, our defense aint nothing. It's all good.
- 8:36Speaker 5: All Happy New Years, to be safe you next year.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Yeah, they did not face Jackson Dart the
- 8:43Speaker 2: first time around, and Russell Wilson had the best, one
- 8:48Speaker 2: of the best days of his career. So you know,
- 8:52Speaker 2: let's see what the weather looks like too. You know,
- 8:55Speaker 2: it's supposed to be pretty cold. It could be cold
- 8:58Speaker 2: and rainy. That might be one of your decisions too
- 9:02Speaker 2: with with Dak if you're you know, and it's not
- 9:05Speaker 2: the best turf in the world either. So we'll we'll see,
- 9:09Speaker 2: we'll see how long, you know, if Dak does play,
- 9:13Speaker 2: how long he's in there, because the narrative of everything
- 9:18Speaker 2: with Washington was he's playing, they're playing Christmas Day, He's
- 9:22Speaker 2: out there. Even Dak and Shoddy after the game work
- 9:27Speaker 2: was kind of like, well, yeah, well we'll see, we'll
- 9:29Speaker 2: see what what you know, I want to play, but
- 9:31Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. And so, you know, he he
- 9:34Speaker 2: is expected to start the game, but I'll be surprised
- 9:38Speaker 2: if he's in it for a long time. All right,
- 9:41Speaker 2: let's go to Skyler. He's in Washington, Skyler, what's up.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Good morning.
- 9:49Speaker 6: I just it's gonna be hard watching Dak start. Honestly,
- 9:53Speaker 6: every I'm gonna be wincing every time he takes the hit,
- 9:55Speaker 6: especially with the you know, the disshovel offensive line we
- 9:59Speaker 6: play we've been having for the past all year. Yeah,
- 10:04Speaker 6: it took how many hits in the last game thirty?
- 10:06Speaker 6: Uh ten, thirteen? Yeah, it's in general, and like what
- 10:12Speaker 6: five sacks. I just don't do the risk, Okay.
- 10:17Speaker 5: I mean maybe he.
- 10:18Speaker 7: Wants that title really bad.
- 10:20Speaker 6: For the passing yeards, I guess I don't know.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that that could that could be
- 10:27Speaker 2: part of it. I mean what he's he's leading the NFL.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I believe in passing yards and uh no cowboy quarterback
- 10:34Speaker 2: has ever done that for the rest of the season.
- 10:37Speaker 2: But you know, I think there I think there's probably
- 10:40Speaker 2: more factors than than that. But it's kind of what
- 10:44Speaker 2: Davion has just said. It's just it's a you know,
- 10:46Speaker 2: this is this is a shoddy thing. You know, you
- 10:48Speaker 2: want to compete. You want to compete every day. You
- 10:50Speaker 2: want to go out there and you want you want
- 10:52Speaker 2: to play, want to win. They want to win. They
- 10:53Speaker 2: want to win this game. They do not want to
- 10:55Speaker 2: finish with a losing record. They want to win. They
- 10:57Speaker 2: want to go eight eight and one. I mean, what's
- 11:01Speaker 2: I mean, That's fine, that's what they want. Doesn't matter
- 11:04Speaker 2: what y'all want, what what what I want? What we want,
- 11:06Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter. It's it's kind of what they want.
- 11:09Speaker 2: They want to go out there and finish this thing strong.
- 11:10Speaker 2: They you know, they've been they've been taking it all
- 11:14Speaker 2: year long, and and they want to go out and
- 11:16Speaker 2: finish strong. But I mean we would kill them if
- 11:18Speaker 2: they didn't, you know. I mean, and if they didn't
- 11:22Speaker 2: go and do that, people would complain about that.
- 11:25Speaker 6: So oh, I mean everybody's going to play at all time, right,
- 11:29Speaker 6: everybody happy, that's for sure. So I mean I get it.
- 11:34Speaker 6: I'm guess you know, as competitor too, I would always
- 11:37Speaker 6: want to compete.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.
- 11:44Speaker 6: I would just beating the giants in general will make
- 11:46Speaker 6: me happy too, Yeah, just anything East Coast rivals would
- 11:51Speaker 6: let to watch them go down no matter what.
- 11:52Speaker 5: So yeah, I guess they get.
- 11:54Speaker 6: It, but it will be hard to watch regardless.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think that's that's going to be the
- 11:58Speaker 2: case regardless. You know what I mean that it's hard.
- 12:01Speaker 2: It's hard to watch football games that don't matter, you know,
- 12:05Speaker 2: like in the on the big scale of things. And
- 12:07Speaker 2: so yeah, that that's always going to be the case.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Thanks for the colls kyl. You know that that's always
- 12:12Speaker 2: the issue, you know, is just that you're out of
- 12:16Speaker 2: the playoffs. There's nothing to really fight for as far
- 12:20Speaker 2: as the rest of the season. But you know, it's
- 12:24Speaker 2: just it's so tough to tell, like like we can
- 12:27Speaker 2: say all that stuff, but like they're out there right now,
- 12:30Speaker 2: they're they're they're getting ready for practice, they're you know,
- 12:32Speaker 2: they they've been in meetings. They they're going through the
- 12:35Speaker 2: process and and have they mentally checked out. I don't
- 12:40Speaker 2: know what I mean, We'll see. I mean they they
- 12:42Speaker 2: did a nice job in Washington on a short week
- 12:45Speaker 2: going up there, and and you know they they were
- 12:47Speaker 2: they were playing. They're ready to go. Now now they're
- 12:49Speaker 2: off installed some in the second half. But you know,
- 12:52Speaker 2: this is this is really big when when you're talking
- 12:55Speaker 2: about trying to change the culture. To me, these are
- 12:59Speaker 2: the games teams right here that that really affect that
- 13:03Speaker 2: it's easy to go play when it's all on the
- 13:06Speaker 2: line and all that, and everyone knows what's at stake.
- 13:08Speaker 2: And the forty nine ers are taking on the Seahawks
- 13:11Speaker 2: thirteen and three versus twelve and four. I mean, I
- 13:13Speaker 2: bet you, I bet you. The head coaches have their
- 13:16Speaker 2: players attention. I mean, I would think, now, if you
- 13:19Speaker 2: really want to be a great coach and build a culture,
- 13:22Speaker 2: see if you can get their attention for this game.
- 13:24Speaker 2: See if you can get them locked in, locked and loaded,
- 13:27Speaker 2: ready to play this game. This is going to be
- 13:29Speaker 2: a little bit tougher to do that, all right, I'm
- 13:32Speaker 2: just going to transition to something here. Yeah, we got
- 13:34Speaker 2: a lot of Cowboy fans that are like, I'm sure
- 13:37Speaker 2: they have a lot of memorabilia and all that kind
- 13:39Speaker 2: of stuff. If you I have this, it's been sitting
- 13:41Speaker 2: in my car. I don't need it, have nothing for it.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Kevin Williams, Kita got this. Somebody handed me this once
- 13:49Speaker 2: at a card show. Is oh cowboy fan, you want this?
- 13:52Speaker 2: It was an autograph of Kevin Williams. There's people that
- 13:56Speaker 2: probably have all kinds of crazy stuff like that. You
- 13:58Speaker 2: know what, where's the text the text line eight one
- 14:01Speaker 2: seven two nine zero three two nine eight. Send a
- 14:04Speaker 2: text there to Chris Beam say hey, I want this,

- 14:13Speaker 2: I mean, I've just been sitting in my car whatever.
- 14:16Speaker 2: But I bet you there's people out there that have
- 14:18Speaker 2: all kinds of autograph photos of a lot of great players.
- 14:23Speaker 2: And he's he was good. He was a really good player,
- 14:25Speaker 2: really good return man. Uh for the Cowboys. All right,

- 17:18Speaker 5: Assets to the teams.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure someone's probably already jumped in there. I
- 17:23Speaker 2: don't know, we'll see so.
- 17:26Speaker 15: On the Giants game.
- 17:27Speaker 12: I know we were talking about whether some of the
- 17:28Speaker 12: starters should play or not. And I think you're right
- 17:30Speaker 12: with the culture that Dak is trying to set with Schottenheimer, right, like,
- 17:33Speaker 12: that's your leader, your team, and he's trying to set that.
- 17:36Speaker 12: I also think that guys like Javonte and Dak, who
- 17:38Speaker 12: missed a lot of time in their careers already, they
- 17:41Speaker 12: want that seventeen games starting season. They don't want to
- 17:45Speaker 12: lose out on that because I mean, for Javonte, it's
- 17:47Speaker 12: a contract thing, but I also think it's a pride
- 17:49Speaker 12: thing for.
- 17:49Speaker 7: Both of them.
- 17:50Speaker 12: The way they play. They want to show, hey, I
- 17:52Speaker 12: was durable, I made it through this season. Yeah, so
- 17:54Speaker 12: I think that's a big deal. But personally, after like halftime,
- 17:58Speaker 12: before up, I want to.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Pull the starters.
- 18:00Speaker 12: I want to see some of the younger guys play.
- 18:02Speaker 12: I want to see Nate Thomas getting there more than
- 18:05Speaker 12: I want to see uh Smith over at left tackle. Personally,
- 18:09Speaker 12: I think Bebe's struggled because Smith isn't next to him,
- 18:12Speaker 12: and I think I want to see somebody like Nate
- 18:13Speaker 12: Thomas in there. I want to see like a lot
- 18:15Speaker 12: of the young linebackers play. Obviously we'll get the young
- 18:18Speaker 12: cornerbacks playing. You know, shout out to Treyvon Diggs. He
- 18:20Speaker 12: had some good seasons here. I'll miss him to some degree,
- 18:22Speaker 12: but I mean the drama is too much and for
- 18:25Speaker 12: the play. You know, if he's still being an all pro,
- 18:28Speaker 12: then you can put up with some of the headache.
- 18:30Speaker 12: But when you're not playing at that level anymore and
- 18:32Speaker 12: you're trying to send a new culture, it's time.
- 18:33Speaker 5: To move on.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the way it is. Thanks, thanks, Josh.
- 18:37Speaker 2: I mean, that is that is the truth. I mean,
- 18:41Speaker 2: for anybody that says, hey, we treat everybody the same,
- 18:44Speaker 2: that's just not That's just not reality. And and and
- 18:47Speaker 2: they they don't deserve that. Not everybody deserves to be
- 18:49Speaker 2: treated the same. You you have to handle different people different,
- 18:54Speaker 2: you know, differently than that, and uh, you know what
- 18:57Speaker 2: it came down to. But it also came down to to,
- 19:00Speaker 2: you know, rules and you fly back, you fly back
- 19:04Speaker 2: with a team. I mean, like you know, he kind
- 19:06Speaker 2: of he threw that out there pretty late in the game.
- 19:10Speaker 2: It sounded like Trayvon His request was was like after
- 19:13Speaker 2: the game and just kind of saying, hey, I'm not
- 19:15Speaker 2: I'm not coming back. I mean, this isn't This isn't
- 19:18Speaker 2: high school where you leave with your parents, you know. No, No,
- 19:22Speaker 2: you fly back with the rest and as inconvenient as
- 19:26Speaker 2: it might be to fly there and maybe fly back
- 19:28Speaker 2: to Washington. I mean, you know, Christmas doesn't sneak up
- 19:31Speaker 2: on anyone. It really doesn't. It's kind of on the
- 19:33Speaker 2: twenty fifth, I think, every every year. And so that's
- 19:36Speaker 2: just the way this is. And hey, I loved watching
- 19:40Speaker 2: Trayvon Diggs. He was one of my favorite players to cover.
- 19:42Speaker 2: I got a chance to meet his family. We did
- 19:45Speaker 2: a documentary on him. It was a lot of fun
- 19:46Speaker 2: to do that. I feel like I have a better
- 19:49Speaker 2: relationship with him than than maybe other people do. But
- 19:52Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, this whole thing
- 19:54Speaker 2: was it was just a mess. And and you know,
- 19:57Speaker 2: after he signed, you know the cowboys are they've already
- 20:01Speaker 2: kind of had to rethink certain things when when you're
- 20:03Speaker 2: when it comes to paying these guys a lot of money,
- 20:06Speaker 2: and they're gonna look at different examples and Trayvon's going
- 20:09Speaker 2: to be one of them of guys, what happens after
- 20:11Speaker 2: he gets this big, big contract? And don't think the
- 20:14Speaker 2: Cowboys aren't already thinking that way, worried about that when
- 20:17Speaker 2: it comes to George Pickens and any other guys that
- 20:20Speaker 2: you re sign. Is if this is the behavior now
- 20:24Speaker 2: as you're trying to get a contract, because that's the
- 20:28Speaker 2: biggest thing these players have, other than maybe winning a
- 20:30Speaker 2: Super Bowl. But some could argue that this is the
- 20:32Speaker 2: biggest thing, is that second contract which will set them
- 20:35Speaker 2: up forever. Then you know, if this is the behavior now,
- 20:39Speaker 2: what's it going to be like after you get your money?
- 20:42Speaker 2: That was the big concern with Micah and so you know,
- 20:46Speaker 2: again they don't have that problem now, But but it
- 20:49Speaker 2: was a problem with with Diggs. He wasn't the same player.
- 20:52Speaker 2: He wasn't the same you know, professional on the field
- 20:57Speaker 2: off the field. When he got hurt, he didn't rehabit
- 21:00Speaker 2: the way the Cowboys wanted them to. So a lot
- 21:02Speaker 2: of changes there. Uh, And I'm sure it's affecting how
- 21:05Speaker 2: the Cowboys move forward with really kind of digging deep,
- 21:09Speaker 2: if you will, on these players and going what what
- 21:12Speaker 2: what happens after they get their money? All right, Lester,
- 21:14Speaker 2: and Minnesota has been holding Lester. What's up?
- 21:18Speaker 7: Good morning, Nick morning. First, first of all, I want
- 21:22Speaker 7: to say thank you for you and Chris and all
- 21:26Speaker 7: of the people that are are responsible for this storyline.
- 21:32Speaker 7: And then I want to say I really really, really
- 21:34Speaker 7: really really really love the community that you guys have
- 21:37Speaker 7: committed that that that we are able to call in
- 21:41Speaker 7: and voice high opinions. So I just want to say
- 21:44Speaker 7: thank you to you and all of the people that
- 21:47Speaker 7: are involved in that situation. In this situation here, you're
- 21:50Speaker 7: welcome New Years to everybody. And I do have one
- 21:54Speaker 7: little gripe, so to speak. I just don't understand when
- 22:00Speaker 7: anyone talks about anybody's salary on any level. I mean,
- 22:06Speaker 7: you could work at the grocery store, or you are
- 22:10Speaker 7: athlete or whatever. I mean, this is America. You are
- 22:14Speaker 7: You get what people are willing to pay you. So
- 22:17Speaker 7: that's all I have. Go cowboys and happy New Year everyone, all.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Right, thank you so much. All Right, we do have
- 22:25Speaker 2: a winner for the for the Kevin Williams signed autograph.
- 22:30Speaker 2: It was a cowboy Nico in Colorada Springs got in
- 22:34Speaker 2: there quick with the text so great that worked out.
- 22:38Speaker 2: That worked out. Great. It's good to hear from him.
- 22:40Speaker 2: I think yesterday he called in, so it hadn't heard
- 22:42Speaker 2: from him in a while, so it's cool. Hopefully he's
- 22:45Speaker 2: got a nice collection of things. And if you are,
- 22:47Speaker 2: and if you do collect you know, any any player
- 22:50Speaker 2: and all players, then yeah, an autograph Kevin Williams picture.
- 22:55Speaker 2: It has been seriously in my car for almost a
- 22:57Speaker 2: year maybe more, and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna
- 23:00Speaker 2: throw this away. Nobody wants this. Then then I kind
- 23:02Speaker 2: of realized I do a show every day with die
- 23:06Speaker 2: hard fans that probably really would want that. So I
- 23:09Speaker 2: was like, cool, all right, Skyler Washington again, forget something?
- 23:16Speaker 2: What's up?
- 23:16Speaker 7: Man back again? Yeah. I was just curious, how do
- 23:19Speaker 7: you how do you fan.
- 23:21Speaker 6: The rest of the football season with the Cowboys being out?
- 23:24Speaker 6: And you know, do you the support a team, friends team,
- 23:28Speaker 6: a player, or just want to watch some good football.
- 23:32Speaker 6: It's kind of just I was curious how most fans
- 23:34Speaker 6: go when it teams out?
- 23:36Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thanks, you know, I I really I
- 23:41Speaker 2: really don't. I mean, it doesn't it doesn't really matter.
- 23:43Speaker 2: I mean, like if it you know, it doesn't affect
- 23:46Speaker 2: the Cowboys. So there is one team out there that
- 23:49Speaker 2: that that definitely does affect the Cowboys, and that's the Packers,
- 23:53Speaker 2: So I wouldn't mind seeing them lose. But you know
- 23:59Speaker 2: that after that, it doesn't you know, I really don't.
- 24:03Speaker 2: I'll figure out, you know, like I'll probably pull against,
- 24:07Speaker 2: you know, root against the Eagles. I mean just kind
- 24:11Speaker 2: of human nature is what it is there, but it
- 24:16Speaker 2: doesn't really matter, you know, like whenever the Super Bowl hits,
- 24:18Speaker 2: I mean, I'm definitely gonna watch it, and I'll have
- 24:20Speaker 2: a you know, a rooting interest for something. It just
- 24:23Speaker 2: depends on what it is. But now there's no fantasy
- 24:26Speaker 2: football anymore, any of that stuff. I just kind of
- 24:29Speaker 2: I'll just kind of watch it to watch it and
- 24:31Speaker 2: to see what's up. And we'll do these shows and
- 24:33Speaker 2: I'm sure things will, you know, we'll talk about that.
- 24:37Speaker 2: But you know, I'm not gonna root for Seattle because
- 24:39Speaker 2: the Marcus Lawrence is up there or somebody like that.
- 24:41Speaker 2: I don't really go that way. I mean, I found
- 24:46Speaker 2: myself always rooting for the Chiefs seemed like when they
- 24:49Speaker 2: were there, you know, when they were in it. I
- 24:52Speaker 2: have no issues with Patrick Mahomes. I think he's fun
- 24:54Speaker 2: player to watch. You know I've caught a pass from him,
- 24:57Speaker 2: so I feel like we have a connection, you know
- 24:59Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, all right, cowboy Nico, he called
- 25:03Speaker 2: in what's up in?
- 25:05Speaker 16: I was just telling Chris two days in a row.
- 25:07Speaker 16: That's crazy. I couldn't get on for like a month.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Let's go. And you got the text in there too.
- 25:13Speaker 16: I did, Thank you, guys, and Chris. I will send
- 25:16Speaker 16: that text out to you guys. So check this out, Nake,
- 25:19Speaker 16: ironic funny. What did I say yesterday?
- 25:21Speaker 7: Digs?
- 25:21Speaker 16: It's time to go take that star off? But it's
- 25:24Speaker 16: not like I was breaking news. But maybe I was
- 25:26Speaker 16: breaking new.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.
- 25:29Speaker 16: I have no clue. I have no clue, but I
- 25:31Speaker 16: didn't know this. It's funny that you mentioned watching the
- 25:35Speaker 16: super Bowl, and I've told you this before. You may
- 25:36Speaker 16: not remember, or some people.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Made somebody got a wrestled, right, somebody got a wrestled right.
- 25:44Speaker 16: Yes, Yes, that was my that was my mom and
- 25:47Speaker 16: my ownder got into a massive fists by on Super
- 25:51Speaker 16: Bowl thirty Pittsburgh fans cowboy fans, and it was bad.
- 25:54Speaker 16: But honestly, I have not and I have mentioned this,
- 25:57Speaker 16: and I will say it again. I have not watched
- 25:59Speaker 16: the Super Bowl. Refuse to watch the Super Bowl or
- 26:02Speaker 16: even playoffs. When the Cowboys are out, I don't watch
- 26:05Speaker 16: any other teams. That being said, my current wife, I
- 26:11Speaker 16: say current, Please God, let her be the last life
- 26:14Speaker 16: I have.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Yeah, how about just wife? How about wife?
- 26:19Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 26:19Speaker 5: About that?
- 26:20Speaker 2: In my head, I don't ever want to say that. Yeah,
- 26:22Speaker 2: just say what my fault?
- 26:24Speaker 13: My fault.
- 26:25Speaker 16: My wife is a Broncos fan, so I've had to
- 26:28Speaker 16: endure when they went. I went downstairs and watched our
- 26:33Speaker 16: super bowls because it makes me feel like a champion
- 26:35Speaker 16: of thirty years later. But that being said, if the
- 26:40Speaker 16: Broncos get in, I'm going to need a lot of
- 26:44Speaker 16: help from Cowboy Nation because she's already rubbed it in
- 26:48Speaker 16: thirty years of us not winning, and then they go
- 26:51Speaker 16: to the super Bowl. If they go to the super Bowl,
- 26:53Speaker 16: it's just going to be bad. So I'm going to
- 26:55Speaker 16: ask all our Cowboys fans so please pray for me,
- 26:58Speaker 16: and hopefully the Bronco dealt it. In that being said,
- 27:03Speaker 16: I forgot something yesterday and Sargeant sue, You're right, my bad.
- 27:07Speaker 16: If I leave phone calls, I will say this and
- 27:09Speaker 16: I'm leading it right now here. It is always ask
- 27:13Speaker 16: for help. Sergeant Sue for President, let's get rowdy, you guys,
- 27:18Speaker 16: have a great day. Happy New Year, all.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Right, Sergeant Sue for President, love it? Why not? I
- 27:27Speaker 2: could win some arm wrestling contests. I'm sure he could
- 27:31Speaker 2: definitely can win those. All right, Keith and Fern Dino
- 27:35Speaker 2: beats Florida.
- 27:37Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick, How are you good?
- 27:40Speaker 2: How do you say that? Fernandina Fernandina beach?
- 27:43Speaker 4: Okay, thank you.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Sounds awesome.
- 27:47Speaker 4: It's a wonderful place to live.
- 27:49Speaker 7: Nick.
- 27:49Speaker 4: I've got two hopes and things that I would like
- 27:53Speaker 4: for twenty twenty six for my Dallas Cowboys, bring it.
- 27:56Speaker 4: The first thing I would like would be a drama
- 27:59Speaker 4: free not.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Not happening here, not happening here. See that star up
- 28:05Speaker 2: there somewhere over here that that means drama.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you're probably right, but maybe maybe they can
- 28:14Speaker 4: do number two. Right, we've got these two drafts.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Well, they did that, all of their defense did that,
- 28:18Speaker 2: all we did that.
- 28:20Speaker 4: Indeed, my hope is that with number the number two
- 28:26Speaker 4: would be the two draft picks. We've got two first
- 28:27Speaker 4: round draft picks. My hope is that we don't choose
- 28:31Speaker 4: anybody that's hurt I understand the Cowboys have been doing
- 28:35Speaker 4: this for years. I've literally been following this team since
- 28:37Speaker 4: the late seventies, and and this is kind of what
- 28:40Speaker 4: we do. Second round, third round, whatever we go for
- 28:43Speaker 4: hurt people, and and more times than not it hasn't
- 28:47Speaker 4: worked out. I would love to see them, you know,
- 28:50Speaker 4: stick with those two first round picks. We need two
- 28:53Speaker 4: defensive starters for sure. Hopefully we get a couple more
- 28:57Speaker 4: in the in free agency or whatever, and then yeah,
- 29:01Speaker 4: that's that's kind of my hope for for twenty twenty six,
- 29:03Speaker 4: and maybe a winning season that'd be nice.
- 29:05Speaker 2: All right, Well, hey, you're not asking for much there,
- 29:09Speaker 2: You're you know, I mean, it's not like you're asking
- 29:11Speaker 2: for for the moon. I know, thanks for the call, Keith.
- 29:16Speaker 2: I'm I'm with you on that. I mean, you know,
- 29:20Speaker 2: Samon Revel could turn out to be a really good player.
- 29:23Speaker 2: He really might. But and and with a third round,
- 29:29Speaker 2: you know, and and that's that's not too bad of
- 29:31Speaker 2: a of a of a move there to to get
- 29:33Speaker 2: a guy like that. We'll see how if he can
- 29:36Speaker 2: turn the corner this year. And you know, I'm glad
- 29:38Speaker 2: that he got in when he did. But as far
- 29:41Speaker 2: as is a little bit higher first round picks. Now,
- 29:46Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm with you on on on taking guys
- 29:49Speaker 2: that are are ready to come in here and play.
- 29:52Speaker 2: You're you're this is the window that that you're at.
- 29:55Speaker 2: You want, you know, you're trying to win now, So
- 29:59Speaker 2: I'm I'm not trade and you know, I really I
- 30:02Speaker 2: don't think I would trade those first round picks to
- 30:05Speaker 2: get back into the second and third and all that
- 30:07Speaker 2: kind of stuff. I might move back a few spots
- 30:10Speaker 2: if you're sitting at fifteen and you want to go
- 30:12Speaker 2: to eighteen nineteen something like that, because you feel like
- 30:15Speaker 2: you've got a lot of players that you still on
- 30:16Speaker 2: the board that you really like, and you can pick
- 30:18Speaker 2: up a third just for that. I'm okay with that.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Remember they did that with Tyler Geydon a few years ago.
- 30:25Speaker 2: They liked where they were, I believe it twenty four,
- 30:27Speaker 2: and they went to twenty eight. They still got guiding
- 30:31Speaker 2: and then bbe with that third round pick. I would
- 30:34Speaker 2: be okay with that. But these fiftieer options are valuable,
- 30:39Speaker 2: and so that come with the first round. I would
- 30:42Speaker 2: take both of them. And you need first round players,
- 30:45Speaker 2: you know, I mean, think about your second and third
- 30:48Speaker 2: rounds and it's hit and miss. First round for the
- 30:51Speaker 2: most part, has been pretty good. For the most part,
- 30:55Speaker 2: has been pretty good. Bozzie Smith was the exception. We'll
- 30:57Speaker 2: see if Tyler Guidon is the exception. They don't think,
- 31:00Speaker 2: you know, they don't think it is. They they think
- 31:02Speaker 2: he's a really good player. He's gotta you know, he's
- 31:06Speaker 2: got to figure out some things as far as just
- 31:08Speaker 2: just just being more comfortable with his position, being more confident.
- 31:14Speaker 2: I think that will cut down a lot of the penalties.
- 31:16Speaker 2: I think talent wise, you know, he can be a
- 31:19Speaker 2: good player. He's just he's just got to kind of
- 31:22Speaker 2: get that confidence there. All right, let's go to Jr.
- 31:25Speaker 2: And Avondale Arizona.
- 31:28Speaker 14: And Nick How you doing good?
- 31:29Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 31:30Speaker 1: Man?
- 31:31Speaker 14: Getting ready for the new year? Happy New Year to
- 31:33Speaker 14: you and your family. They don't forget to tell you.
- 31:36Speaker 14: Me and on Diggs, I knew Diggs had to go,
- 31:40Speaker 14: but I hated to see it. Is Micah and then
- 31:43Speaker 14: Diggs as far as favorite defensive players, went with me.
- 31:46Speaker 14: So they're both gone now. But I'm not gonna worry
- 31:49Speaker 14: about it. Then I don't have a team anymore, So
- 31:52Speaker 14: we'll just move forward. I just have to stop buying
- 31:55Speaker 14: jerseys of these favorite players because gets full of people
- 31:59Speaker 14: that don't three Mica jerseys and they have to move
- 32:02Speaker 14: down to the closet with Tony and Witt and Barber
- 32:05Speaker 14: and all the other guys I used to a lot of. Anyway,
- 32:10Speaker 14: back to Diggs, I just it was sad to see
- 32:14Speaker 14: how that whole thing went down, but I said it's
- 32:17Speaker 14: over and it's done. More about I always complained about
- 32:21Speaker 14: the defense. I was reading just on the website yesterday.
- 32:25Speaker 14: I was kind of flabbergasted the word I don't use
- 32:27Speaker 14: much for this that reading about how they just kind
- 32:32Speaker 14: of forgot to put Logan Wilson in the game, and
- 32:35Speaker 14: is it Dave Bolganzhi is the linebacker's coach, and how
- 32:41Speaker 14: they just blamed him, and that they said they just
- 32:45Speaker 14: got confused, and how do you get confused? And how
- 32:49Speaker 14: the defensive set and certain players on the field but
- 32:52Speaker 14: they're not out there. I understand. It kind of counts
- 32:55Speaker 14: me a lot about the whole season just confused and
- 33:00Speaker 14: being where they're supposed to be and receivers running wide open.
- 33:03Speaker 14: It kind of just sums it all up. And then
- 33:07Speaker 14: Schattenheimers commented on it, and he said, yeah, we screwed
- 33:10Speaker 14: that up, and that's on the coaches and we'll have
- 33:13Speaker 14: to take that as a staff. It's happened before, it'll
- 33:15Speaker 14: happen again. It's not what I wanted to hear, but
- 33:20Speaker 14: you forgot to put a guy in the game. But anyway,
- 33:23Speaker 14: that's all I got, man. I just wanted to call
- 33:25Speaker 14: and say I tried to get that Kevin Williams picture
- 33:28Speaker 14: to go with my Kevin Williams find hat. Oh but anyway,
- 33:31Speaker 14: I do have a Kevin winniam find hat. But that's
- 33:34Speaker 14: a whole nother story. Anyway, he please be safe. All
- 33:38Speaker 14: the storyliners and I've enjoyed being part of the community

- 33:42Speaker 2: Thanks for Nick, Thanks Sar. Appreciate that. I'll say this
- 33:49Speaker 2: as I track these calls and to see, you know,
- 33:53Speaker 2: who's called the most and all that, and and I
- 33:56Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen anybody take a joke from
- 34:01Speaker 2: having zero calls in the middle of October to probably
- 34:07Speaker 2: being in the top ten in calls by by the
- 34:11Speaker 2: end of the year, as Jr.
- 34:13Speaker 8: Did.
- 34:13Speaker 2: And it helped with a streak I believe maybe fourteen
- 34:17Speaker 2: in a row fourteen calls in a row, so you
- 34:19Speaker 2: you definitely pull vaulted yourself up in there and into
- 34:23Speaker 2: the all storyline team, which we'll announce I don't know,
- 34:26Speaker 2: maybe February or so late January. We'll we'll we'll figure
- 34:32Speaker 2: that out. We'll get I think we'll go back to

- 35:17Speaker 2: you and Irene for for the calls that y'all made
- 35:19Speaker 2: reaching out to other people on this show, Cowboy Nico
- 35:23Speaker 2: for one, but but others as well. I really appreciate
- 35:27Speaker 2: that it's been it's above and beyond, and but it's
- 35:29Speaker 2: kind of kind of goes to show the people that
- 35:32Speaker 2: that y'all are So thanks for doing that. It's great
- 35:35Speaker 2: to listen to to uh Nico. He sounds great, and
- 35:40Speaker 2: you know, it sounds like things are going good. But
- 35:42Speaker 2: but you know, I'm glad that you, you know, you
- 35:44Speaker 2: were able to call and check up on people him
- 35:47Speaker 2: and others as well. I just want to say thank
- 35:49Speaker 2: you for that.
- 35:50Speaker 15: Oh yeah, no problem, man. And so like I say, Man,
- 35:53Speaker 15: I mean, I'm a goof and I'm I'm silly and
- 35:55Speaker 15: I'm super positive mister delusional or whatever, David the Delusional.
- 35:59Speaker 15: But at the end of the day, man, like this
- 36:00Speaker 15: this stuff means a lot to me.
- 36:02Speaker 14: Man.
- 36:02Speaker 15: Like I said, I'm a military vet. You know, I
- 36:04Speaker 15: did eight years and I've seen some great things. I've
- 36:08Speaker 15: seen some some not so great things. And you know,
- 36:10Speaker 15: if I could be a little spark, literally a little
- 36:12Speaker 15: because you've met me, bro, I'm not a big guy.
- 36:13Speaker 15: If I could be a little spark to somebody, Man,
- 36:15Speaker 15: I try to be so yeah, but I appreciate the
- 36:18Speaker 15: kind of words with that being said. Man, Diggs, Dig
- 36:22Speaker 15: Dig being gone, It just you know, it is what
- 36:24Speaker 15: it is, but it reminds me of To me, it's
- 36:27Speaker 15: like a big what if, Like what if Diggs and
- 36:29Speaker 15: Bland could have actually played when they were you know,
- 36:32Speaker 15: back to back, you know, just doing phenomenally like you know,
- 36:36Speaker 15: it just brings me to like those what if scenarios,
- 36:38Speaker 15: like what if you know, Mary Cooper would have stayed
- 36:40Speaker 15: while Lamb became began to flourish, Like what if Romo
- 36:43Speaker 15: didn't get hurt in twenty sixteen? You know, what if
- 36:46Speaker 15: Travis Frederick didn't have his health issues? You know, like
- 36:49Speaker 15: those what if moments. I was just wondering if if
- 36:51Speaker 15: you had a what if moment like that. And then
- 36:53Speaker 15: with the defense, you know, with Dig being gone, loose
- 36:56Speaker 15: possibly being gone, like they're gonna have the Dallas Cowboys
- 37:00Speaker 15: are going to have to have an off season with
- 37:03Speaker 15: the defense like they had with the offense last off season.
- 37:05Speaker 15: You know, we're getting Javonte. Nobody was super hyped up
- 37:08Speaker 15: about it, but it turned out to be a really
- 37:09Speaker 15: good thing. Getting pickings I was. I feel like one
- 37:12Speaker 15: of the few people that were like super excited about that.
- 37:14Speaker 15: I feel like other people were kind of just like, Okay, yeah,
- 37:16Speaker 15: you know, it's a great addition. But we'll see. And
- 37:20Speaker 15: as far as this game, I'm hoping the Dallas Cowboys play,
- 37:24Speaker 15: but I'm hoping the starters play at least a little bit,
- 37:26Speaker 15: like some other people say, at least a half time.
- 37:27Speaker 15: I want them to get up. I want them to win.
- 37:29Speaker 15: To me, it's about winning.
- 37:30Speaker 14: Nick.
- 37:30Speaker 15: I've always told you this is my entertainment. I don't
- 37:32Speaker 15: have much else outside of this, so I'm excited about it.
- 37:35Speaker 15: And I want to wish you, Chris, all the Soloderliners
- 37:39Speaker 15: just a happy new Year. And I want to say this, man,
- 37:42Speaker 15: I just want to say. This is just one real
- 37:44Speaker 15: quick thing and it's all my heart. It's kind of
- 37:46Speaker 15: on what you were talking about tonight. Whenever you guys
- 37:49Speaker 15: are having a good time, anybody that's listening, whenever you're
- 37:50Speaker 15: having a good time, you know, enjoy it. But remember
- 37:54Speaker 15: three things. And I always try to remember three things.
- 37:56Speaker 15: Remember who you are, remember where you're from, and remember
- 37:59Speaker 15: who you represent. Cause if you think about those three
- 38:01Speaker 15: things before you make any bad decision. You probably won't
- 38:04Speaker 15: make that bad decision.
- 38:04Speaker 2: You guys have a great fear, all right, thanks for
- 38:08Speaker 2: thanks for the call and uh words of wisdom there,
- 38:13Speaker 2: so you say that, and then you know I wrote
- 38:16Speaker 2: down what if you're asking me what if moments? You know,
- 38:23Speaker 2: from a Cowboys standpoint, you know, like these, what if
- 38:26Speaker 2: these this didn't happen? I mean, the two biggest ones
- 38:30Speaker 2: for me, I always in Cowboy history were always the
- 38:34Speaker 2: what if Deon Sanders had been called for past interference
- 38:37Speaker 2: on Michael Irvin in the ninety four championship game? And
- 38:42Speaker 2: then also what if you know, the officials had had
- 38:45Speaker 2: called it right the first time? And given that, does
- 38:48Speaker 2: the catch? And then in Green Bay? What happens there?
- 38:52Speaker 2: You know, do the Cowboys go for two, do they
- 38:55Speaker 2: go up by three? Do they stop Aaron rodgersy? I
- 38:57Speaker 2: don't know if they really stopped them, so that that
- 38:59Speaker 2: one's not you know, I just want to see it, though.
- 39:02Speaker 2: I want to be able to see it, just like
- 39:04Speaker 2: I don't know if the Cowboys come back and beat
- 39:05Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, but with that ninety four game,
- 39:08Speaker 2: but I sure would have liked to seen that call.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Cowboys probably go score and then they got five minutes
- 39:13Speaker 2: to go down three, I'll take my shot there. So
- 39:16Speaker 2: those are the cowboy what if moments that I always have.
- 39:20Speaker 2: But then again, you know, I always think that you
- 39:23Speaker 2: know about the word if, And there's different variations of this,
- 39:30Speaker 2: but I always remember there was a former basketball player
- 39:33Speaker 2: named Dennis Scott played at Georgia Tech, played for a
- 39:35Speaker 2: lot of the NBA teams, and Mavericks one of them,
- 39:37Speaker 2: and I remember a quote he said about if they
- 39:40Speaker 2: did this, they would have won, or if they did this,
- 39:42Speaker 2: and he says, I if was a fifth, we'd all
- 39:45Speaker 2: be drunk. So that's what I always think about the
- 39:47Speaker 2: word if. Let's go to break one more time on storyline,
- 39:50Speaker 2: we'll come back and wrap it up.

- 41:18Speaker 2: two more callers here, we can wrap this thing up.
- 41:21Speaker 2: Erwin in Colorado? Erwin? What's up?
- 41:24Speaker 18: Good morning, Nick? Happen you heard all you guys?
- 41:26Speaker 2: You too?
- 41:27Speaker 14: So?
- 41:28Speaker 18: I just wanted to make a comment. Listen to a
- 41:31Speaker 18: couple of callers, or at least one for sure. You
- 41:33Speaker 18: mentioned about Dak Blane. You know, I don't really care
- 41:36Speaker 18: if Dak Blaze or not. We've all played sports with
- 41:39Speaker 18: some capacity. Everybody wants to get on the field and play.
- 41:42Speaker 18: It's a decision he wants to make. I would just say,
- 41:45Speaker 18: you know, at what point do the coaches kind of
- 41:48Speaker 18: protect the players from themselves, you know, from situations like that,
- 41:52Speaker 18: And we certainly don't want to see anything happen to him.
- 41:56Speaker 18: It's not like we haven't seen other quarterbacks, you know,
- 41:59Speaker 18: from other teams lose their jobs because they sustained uh
- 42:04Speaker 18: you know, a major injury or whatever. So I just
- 42:07Speaker 18: wanted to get your thoughts on that. Then, Uh see
- 42:10Speaker 18: what you think?
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah? Is that it orn? Or is that your last point?
- 42:17Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 42:17Speaker 18: Well, you know, the thing about it is is like
- 42:21Speaker 18: I said, you know, he wants to play. They all
- 42:23Speaker 18: want to play, sure, but you know, well they don't.
- 42:26Speaker 2: They don't all want to play, you know what I mean,
- 42:28Speaker 2: Like like they all they don't all want to play.
- 42:31Speaker 2: They want the glory of having success and all that,
- 42:34Speaker 2: but not everybody wants to play and do the things
- 42:38Speaker 2: necessary to play at the highest level. And if they
- 42:40Speaker 2: if they don't do that, and then they mess around
- 42:43Speaker 2: and and and don't follow the rules, then then they
- 42:46Speaker 2: get shipped out of here. So when you say that
- 42:48Speaker 2: they want to play, but not everybody wants to play
- 42:52Speaker 2: and commit to this fully and and Dak does. You know,
- 42:56Speaker 2: Dak was fighting through it for a contract two years ago.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Unlike others, Unlike CD, unlike Micah, unlike Zach Martin. You know,
- 43:05Speaker 2: Dak's there every day. He's the leader of this football team.
- 43:08Speaker 2: He's earned the right if he to me, if he's like, hey,
- 43:10Speaker 2: I want to play and finish this out, then you
- 43:13Speaker 2: go play because you've earned that right. When when he
- 43:16Speaker 2: didn't fight, he didn't go through a contract negotiation and
- 43:20Speaker 2: wasn't there, he knew how bad that would hurt the team.
- 43:23Speaker 2: So to me, and I think you agree with me.
- 43:26Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is is that I think Dak's
- 43:28Speaker 2: earned the right to go and do this.
- 43:30Speaker 18: Absolutely, He's definitely earned the right. I just I certainly
- 43:33Speaker 18: don't want to see him, you know, regret something that
- 43:36Speaker 18: you know, obviously next year's coming around and everything, and
- 43:40Speaker 18: on top of that, let's be all honest you know,
- 43:44Speaker 18: I don't know about everybody. I would like to see
- 43:46Speaker 18: a little bit of Joe Milton out there to see
- 43:48Speaker 18: what actually he can do against you know, you know,
- 43:51Speaker 18: pull three quarters of the game. But I certainly understand
- 43:54Speaker 18: why he wants to play. He's definitely earned the right
- 43:57Speaker 18: to play.
- 43:57Speaker 12: Yeah, I'll never quite Yeah, well, you.
- 44:01Speaker 2: Know, he should definitely start the game, and he should start,
- 44:04Speaker 2: and then you know, from there we'll see, you know,
- 44:08Speaker 2: what happens.
- 44:09Speaker 14: Now.
- 44:09Speaker 2: The sad part would be, thanks for the caller, and
- 44:11Speaker 2: we're gonna have to keep it moving. The sad part
- 44:14Speaker 2: of that would be Dak starts the game, say that
- 44:17Speaker 2: they're winning ten ten, nothing, ten three, whatever, Milton comes in,
- 44:22Speaker 2: whatever happens, they don't win the game. You know, then
- 44:26Speaker 2: that'll be the Cowboys loss, you know, to the Giants,
- 44:29Speaker 2: and Dak is now whatever, you know, his first loss
- 44:33Speaker 2: against the Giants because he's the starting quarterback, even though
- 44:37Speaker 2: you know he may not be. He wouldn't be the
- 44:39Speaker 2: reason they lost, but but it's still is going to
- 44:41Speaker 2: fall from him either way. That's fine. You know, I
- 44:44Speaker 2: think you don't start the game and then then maybe
- 44:48Speaker 2: he gets banged up or whatever. Next year and then
- 44:50Speaker 2: they're talking about how durables dak he hasn't played a
- 44:53Speaker 2: full season since twenty nineteen or whatever it is, And
- 44:57Speaker 2: you're like, no, actually he did play a full season,
- 44:59Speaker 2: but then he set that game out. No one remembers
- 45:01Speaker 2: all that that should go start the game from from there.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Kind of see what happens all right, Dylan in Northport, Florida, Dylan.
- 45:09Speaker 19: How's it going good?
- 45:10Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 45:11Speaker 7: Hey?
- 45:11Speaker 14: Good? Hey?
- 45:12Speaker 19: I'm looking at the YouTube chat here and Rob's got
- 45:14Speaker 19: like a fan club going because there's a Rob from
- 45:15Speaker 19: Vegas guy talking, but there's also like a Vegas rob
- 45:18Speaker 19: Zilla as well. I just noticed so like people are
- 45:20Speaker 19: starting tone themselves after Rob. I guess that's the thing
- 45:22Speaker 19: that's happening.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Hey, hey, I listened to the spaces. I mean I
- 45:28Speaker 2: heard a few things. I mean there were some there
- 45:30Speaker 2: were some more you know comments in there, like there
- 45:34Speaker 2: are people that are like Rob, I got a question
- 45:35Speaker 2: for you, and he's like, yeah, sure, go ahead. I mean,
- 45:37Speaker 2: like he's it's almost like he's kind of the star
- 45:40Speaker 2: over there.
- 45:41Speaker 19: Rob needs his own show. I think we got to
- 45:42Speaker 19: get him on a camera. I don't know I how
- 45:44Speaker 19: much on camera, but we got we gotta get him
- 45:46Speaker 19: from a mic or something.
- 45:48Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, believe me. I believe me.
- 45:51Speaker 2: When you get your own show, you definitely you know,
- 45:53Speaker 2: get you get the big head and you know your
- 45:56Speaker 2: ego just go oh, we can't have that. I've been there,
- 46:00Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah, go yeah.
- 46:05Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 46:05Speaker 19: Going to the football stuff, Michael from Bowling Green he
- 46:07Speaker 19: called yesterday this listed all the needs we have on defense,
- 46:09Speaker 19: which is like everything.
- 46:10Speaker 4: That's Ford tackle, right.
- 46:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:13Speaker 19: But the good thing is you don't need high end
- 46:14Speaker 19: guys all the spots, and you know, you're looking for
- 46:17Speaker 19: guys in a free agency in the draft that kind
- 46:20Speaker 19: of fit. The puzzle has puzzle pieces, and it all
- 46:23Speaker 19: depends on who you bring in here. As DC, you
- 46:25Speaker 19: know kind of what the system is going to be
- 46:26Speaker 19: and all that, but it's all an ecosystem where like
- 46:28Speaker 19: you might need like ten guys, but you get one
- 46:30Speaker 19: or two really really good guys, and now those need
- 46:32Speaker 19: Darna's dire. So you know, I'm looking forward to kind
- 46:36Speaker 19: of what they're doing here in free agency the coming
- 46:38Speaker 19: months in the draft and DC and I really think
- 46:40Speaker 19: that if they get just a few of the right pieces,
- 46:43Speaker 19: they can just be even just an average defense man,
- 46:45Speaker 19: they can turn this thing around quickly, and they could
- 46:48Speaker 19: be you get an average defense with this offense, and
- 46:50Speaker 19: all of a sudden you're an actual Super Bowl contender.
- 46:52Speaker 19: So hopefully, you know, they take this this coaching search
- 46:55Speaker 19: very serious because that's step one of this whole deal
- 46:59Speaker 19: and mostly where they go from there.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean, and then you know you
- 47:03Speaker 2: think about that too, is is that it starts with
- 47:06Speaker 2: the coaches because the coaches need to have you know,
- 47:09Speaker 2: the vision for for the right player and and and
- 47:11Speaker 2: they're going to sign guys that that that aren't rated
- 47:14Speaker 2: high on on whatever PFF list. There is a free agency,
- 47:18Speaker 2: and you know you're like, well, why this guy? Why
- 47:21Speaker 2: not him?
- 47:22Speaker 19: Just like people a guy like Jaron Curse, right, Like
- 47:24Speaker 19: Curse wasn't really great, right, but he came in and
- 47:26Speaker 19: he fit the scheme perfectly.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Dante Williams is Davonte Williams is another example of that too.
- 47:32Speaker 2: So you know, but but you're right, it starts with
- 47:34Speaker 2: the coaches though that that that's got to be right.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Guys have to figure that out. You know, this is
- 47:41Speaker 2: this has not been a good situation, and you know
- 47:44Speaker 2: that this last game and Washington just kind of showed
- 47:47Speaker 2: a lot of those things with you know, that whole
- 47:50Speaker 2: weird scenario with Logan Wilson. But you know, I'll say
- 47:53Speaker 2: this too. You know players, you know players, don't they
- 47:57Speaker 2: they have a chance to talk in the middle of
- 47:59Speaker 2: a game. So I find that kind of odd too.
- 48:03Speaker 2: If if you're expecting to play and you haven't played,
- 48:06Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they just forgot about you.
- 48:08Speaker 2: You know, this isn't Kevin and Home alone, where they
- 48:11Speaker 2: just for forgot and they just took off to France.
- 48:13Speaker 2: I mean, you could say something, you know, say something, so.
- 48:17Speaker 20: I don't, right, right, but no, But is that a
- 48:22Speaker 20: kind of a weird thing though, where like Logan Wilson
- 48:24Speaker 20: came in in the middle of the season, doesn't really
- 48:26Speaker 20: have as big a voice as maybe you would have
- 48:27Speaker 20: in a full off season.
- 48:28Speaker 19: So he's a little bit has man. So I guess, yeah,
- 48:31Speaker 19: you should speak up. But maybe there's something to that.
- 48:33Speaker 2: I don't know. It's it's not like it would have
- 48:36Speaker 2: changed a lot. Is he going to make that tackle
- 48:38Speaker 2: on the on the Washington running back? Maybe? I mean,
- 48:41Speaker 2: but it's just you know, the whole the whole, the
- 48:45Speaker 2: whole trip kind of was was kind of symbolized a
- 48:48Speaker 2: lot of things. There's confusion on the defense and lack
- 48:51Speaker 2: of communication here. And you know, thanks for the call, Dylan.
- 48:54Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I'll say this one more thing about
- 48:57Speaker 2: about digs and and you know, it really just comes
- 49:00Speaker 2: down and and it was a lack of communication with
- 49:03Speaker 2: him his whole his whole career here seemed like it,
- 49:06Speaker 2: but especially at the end. Just as for a guy
- 49:08Speaker 2: that didn't tell him where they were gonna he was
- 49:10Speaker 2: gonna be, didn't you know, for the off season, didn't
- 49:14Speaker 2: didn't communicate the right way about when he was going
- 49:16Speaker 2: to try to leave. And I think I don't think
- 49:17Speaker 2: he did it the right way. How about on the field,
- 49:20Speaker 2: who's playing zone, who's playing man? Communication? There was always
- 49:24Speaker 2: kind of an issue with with Trayvon. So that's it
- 49:28Speaker 2: is what it is. It's sad that that that ended
- 49:30Speaker 2: that way. But I think, you know, for the Cowboys
- 49:32Speaker 2: trying to build their their culture and do things the
- 49:35Speaker 2: right way, they you know, we we knew it wasn't
- 49:38Speaker 2: probably going to be a great fit. When they did
- 49:40Speaker 2: that interview on the field together Micah and and and Trayvon,
- 49:44Speaker 2: I think the writing was on the wall. For both
- 49:46Speaker 2: of them. And I'm not saying that that was the reason,
- 49:49Speaker 2: but I think you could kind of tell that that
- 49:51Speaker 2: their mindset wasn't the same as what the Cowboys were
- 49:55Speaker 2: wanting here. All right, last show of the week, last
- 49:58Speaker 2: show of twenty twenty f five. You guys have have
- 50:01Speaker 2: a great and safe new year, I think started to
- 50:05Speaker 2: Sue said it best make their make good decisions here,
- 50:07Speaker 2: good choices as well. Be safe on the road, not
- 50:11Speaker 2: just for yourself, be safe for the other guy, uh
- 50:14Speaker 2: as well. All Right, guys. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.
