• 2:15
  Speaker 1: there's always this one big opening press conference on the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: first day we're here. A lot of storylines, a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of things, a lot of headlines that are made by
• 2:24

• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the next day we have our first practice and then
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a different sets of storylines. Well it was all jammed
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: into one day yesterday, and so that's why it was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: so crazy. And so hopefully now we can kind of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: breathe a little bit more, but still a lot, a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: lot to talk about. I'm gonna let you guys do it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And anything that that you know, got your attention that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you wanna, you wanna hit on, let's do it. Let's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: talk about it right now. All right, let's go Michael
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and Bowling Green, Kentucky is first.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Michael, Hey, happy birthday.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Your dad appreciate that, I'm sure or he will appreciate
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it too.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Just real quick.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I heard the second collar while I was on hold.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: He was somebodyho's been wearing his shirt all the time
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: and I haven't worn mine yet. I'm saving mine for
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the game days. Good season. I'm gonna wear that shirt
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: on while I'm watching the Cowboys every week.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Uh. It's a good Sunday. It's pretty soft, chill, you know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Alice, I love it. Yeah, but uh, his Trey
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Lance is he doing anything yet?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Uh? He was out there, I mean he was, he
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: was out there doing his thing. But no, I mean
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's it's still early but yeah, I mean I don't
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: think the back of quarterbacks had the best practice yesterday.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean there were some passes thrown into the into
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the sideline, into the end of the fence. Not not
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: as great as we've seen in the past. And uh,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know it's better from him as well, but we'll
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: see it. You know. It's early.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of people are really stressing
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: over the contract. But if you I mean, if you
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: think about it, I mean, Micah, I mean, they could
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: they could wait two years to do his deal and
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: then Dak. I mean, they're not gonna win that code anywhere.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: They're they're gonna I'm they're gonna come to an agreement,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I believe. And then, like you were talking about the
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: other day, I had to listen on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Your first one.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I wasn't able to get on. But CD's got plenty
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: of time. I mean, you know, it's just what seven
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: weeks before before the first game or something like that,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: reagless season, So they're gonna get him fined. I'm not
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: worried about it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I agree, I mean that's kind of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: what they said yesterday too. They made that statement that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: or at least Jerry did that. He didn't. He didn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: foresee that going anywhere, and so but you know, you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: never really see it until it happens. But but they can,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you know, they can get it done. It's just gonna
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: be weird now, like do they do anything in the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: middle of the season or at least now that the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: training campus started, you know, will they get something done
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: because I think when they get to the regular season
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it might even be harder. And then then what happens
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: when he plays and if he plays really really well
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: without a contract, that's gonna be tough. I think to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to to re sign him. But you know, Jerry, Jerry
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: could get it done if he wants to. You know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we know this money talks well.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Most of the sporting world. The people who talk are
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: really really really underestimating Cowboys this year figure and they're
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: just you know, they're not gonna do that. I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't agree with him. I think they're
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: gonna have just as good a season as they've had
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: in the last few years. In my opinion. I just
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: hope they get I just hope they do that didn't play.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, no, I that's you're right. I mean, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: then again, how how do we go about that? You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: how do you continue to do this and be a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: fan every day and all that? And you're right, I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: mean that's that, that's the the dark cloud just kind
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of hanging over them a little bit, and there's nothing
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you can do until you get there. But you have
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to get there. That's the thing. You can't say worry
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: about the playoffs. And Jerry, I think, was trying to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: say that he feels like his team is good enough
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, but uh, you know, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a grind to get to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, this is not it's not easy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: The schedule won't be easy, and it's not designed to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be easy when you when you win your division. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. And I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think it'll be. It'll be
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a lot tougher than it was last year. I don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: think we'll be sitting here like, well, we'll see what
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: happens in the playoffs. I think it'll be a fight
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all year along to get there. All right, that m entertainment, Sure,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: well you can you can rest asshirt. It's always going
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to be entertainment. I mean, it'll always be entertainment here,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, Michael, appreciate that, Michael for Bowling Green, Kentucky.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Let's move to another Michael here a little bit closer
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: than Kentucky. How about Michael in Colton, California. Michael, what's up?
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: And welcome to beautiful sunny southern California. And I just
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: want to say I shout out to mister Tim eat Mint,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: and a shout out to Robin Vegas, Irene in Virginia,
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Anthony and Florida. I leave in Florida, and Michael and
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: Bowling Green, Kentucky and Randy in Texasarghani everybody, huh did
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: you ever think? Yeah, sir, did you ever think that
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: this show would have took off like a did? We
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: got our own little family going on here, and I
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: think that's awesome.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: But also, man, I just want to say a huge
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: thank you. I received my shirt and I was trying
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Chris back there that I use it as my workout shirt.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: And the reason why I do is because that's that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: how I get my workout. I put on my Cowboys
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: podcast and get it. So I love my shirt so
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I use it as my workout shirt. It's motivation for me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: But very much, thank you, sir, and and I got
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: I got a shirt that I'm gonna be getting out
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: to you and Chris. I'm gonna try to make it
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: out there, but I got a lot of stuff going
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: on with work, so I don't know if I'll be able,
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: but for sure i'll get that to you. But what
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: I want to say is, you know this team, we
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: have a good team, you know, and there was things,
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: you know, people were saying lack of free agency moves
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: this and that. I don't think that's gonna affect us
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: because I think that our depth was so rich that that,
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: you know, we we still have a good team no
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: matter what, even with with a couple of pieces that
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: we lost. And what I'm really excited to see is
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I want to see I think that we just needed,
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: like you know, that little tweak to get our defense
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: from par And and if we could get our defense
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: up to par Man, I think that'll really cover up
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: for for a lot of you know, a lot of things,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: and I think that can get us really far. So
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: I'm really excited to see with what Coach Zimmer's gonna
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: do and and and and and hopefully, man, we can
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: get this thing turned around and and and progress father
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: further in the playoffs, you know. And and that's that's
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: pretty much it. And like I said, you know, God
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: bless everybody. Happy Friday, and you have a great jolcohol
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: and leave it at that, and good talking.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: To you, you too, Thank you, Michael, appreciate that. Again,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: another call about moving further in the playoffs, and that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is certainly the ultimate goal. I just think hopefully when
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we get to the season, you know, I like to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: keep it more week to week. I mean, because you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that's that's the way, that's the way you have to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you have to kind of you know, I mean, how
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: many times did he listened to Dak's press conference yesterday?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He what did he say? He got he gotta be
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: where my feet are, you know, he said that like
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: twenty times, it felt like. And he he's that's his
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: way of saying, I'm not looking ahead to the contract
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, and and and and that's that's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: what helps him. And I think that's that's what this team.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we all have to do about,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, not looking ahead to the playoffs. Nothing is guaranteed,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: nothing's given. You know, you don't you don't just move
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: from one to the other. That the Chiefs are aren't
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: going to necessarily you know that they're not you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: penciled into the super Bowl, even though they should be
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: favorites to be there just how they've played. But you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: know that they have to go and earn it. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and that's what that's what we're doing out here. I mean,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that's what this this team has to do. You know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I think there's some there's some good players that they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: let go, starters, you know, I'd say let go they
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they signed with another team. They they just couldn't resigned them.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: They wanted to, They wanted to resign Dorm's Armstrong, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: just his money was way too high for them. Fifteen
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: million a year. I mean, that's that's probably double what
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they were trying to do with him. So good for him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You took advantage of the market, took advantage of being
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with a coach here and with Dan Quinn and and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, same with the otis same with a few
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of those guys from that went to Washington. So but
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but this team, as I said for Wednesday, this team
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: has to figure out how to to keep developing these
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: young players, these young draft picks, and it's their time
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to shine. The opportunities right in front of them, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: gotta go seize it and uh and let's see if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: they can do that. But that's that's kind of where
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it starts. It starts right out here, all right. Lewis
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: is in Langston, Oklahoma. Lewis is third up, what's up?
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: What's going on? I'm I'm I'm kind of with Dak.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: I want to kind of say week the week, that
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: game in the game. So but I was trying to
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: look back, I guess over the summer with the Michael
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Parsons and Malik Hooker comments, and I don't I mean,
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: do you think that's going to kind of boil over
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: onto the field between those two or you know, as men,
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: do you like at that age, do we just like
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: sit down in front of each other to say, hey, hey,
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: I said what I said, is we gonna play this game,
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: do a job and squash it? Or do you think
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: there's one of them things where it's gonna be a
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: holdover and we're gonna see, you know, division between the
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: dagon defense and because I know, like you said before.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's happened before, and I hope it doesn't
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: happen now because I've got a decent team and I
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: don't want them to be squabbling between the two and
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: then we end up with a mediocre defense because they
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: can't see out of out with each other.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well if if, if they if the defense isn't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that good, it's not gonna be because Micah Parsons and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Malik Hooker squabbling over that. I mean, I think it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be bigger than right. But to answer your question,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's both. I think you said, have they
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: squashed it? Yes, they did. That's what Malik uh said
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday. He said, Okay, okay, but
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: but but here's the thing. Cool, they've squashed it for
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: out here. Everything's fine, but wait till the wait till
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the you know, he wasn't worried about it in the summer.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He was worried about it when it was happening. Then,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: So if he's gonna Michael's gonna continue to say things,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: will continue to do his podcast, I'm sure. And if
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if there are issues during the season and he maybe
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he doesn't play as well, maybe they're not stopping the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: run whatever that Those are the type of things that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: could resurface again. So yeah, you can say they squashed it,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's the summer, it's we're here training camp.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: But what happens when things pop up again playing? Well,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it's obviously in his mind, it's probably in a few
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: other players mind. So I'm not saying it's a it's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a dead thing, because you know, the reason why it
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: came up before could come up again, and that's what
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they got to make sure. But Michael's just got to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: just play. I mean, he's just got to do his
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: thing and be and be the player that he's been.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of things get forgiven when you go and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you sack the quarterback on third and nine and force
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the fumble and you Cowboys win the game. Like I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: think a lot of things will be forgiven by then.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: But you know, those see how Zimmer's defense does with him,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and and maybe he'll be even more of a complete player.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And then my next thing was, outside of what
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Malik said about Michael Parsons, I think one of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: damning things I heard was what he said about what
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: was Dan Quinn where he was kind of like if
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: the player couldn't catch home with whatever the play was
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: or what the simon was, they kind of just either
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: threw it out or molded around them. And I kind
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: of thought about, like was that really it did it
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: hurt them more than it actually helped them, because you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: we don't know what players couldn't do what, but at
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: that time, like I mean, it kind of looked at
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: bad during the playoffs, So could they not have molded
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: something else or fixed something else or you know what
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: I mean? Like I don't really care about the Michael
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: Parsons thing, but if you got a player who can't
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: teach catch up with what Zim was gonna be teaching,
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: is he gonna be trying to mold the whole defense
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: or throw out a play because one person can't catch up.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Depend who that person is, you know, I mean that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is true if it's a if it's a young rookie
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: or a first second year guy and uh, you know
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he like, it depends who the player is. They're they're
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: going if this is a player they paid money to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and he's going to be a starter, then then they've
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: got to figure out wasted to make it work. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that's always going to be the case. The playoff game
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: was just weird because they they just tried to play
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a different scheme, uh the Packers, and they felt like
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they had to because of Gilmore's injury, and so it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was just a bad Yeah, it was just.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: It was a it was a slot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It was just like a it is a recipe for disaster,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and you know, and and they they couldn't they couldn't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: stop the run. They just couldn't. And and it was
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay was just a better team and a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: better matchup against them in that game.
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: Right, But yeah, it just made me.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Think about that comment as far as like, I mean,
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: it worked during the regular season, but you know, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: can see during the playoffs it didn't work. But if
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: we're going through that with Zimmer, is it really the
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: scheme or is it the players?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I mean?
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: And so that I think that's what I'm kind of
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: looking at him. I'm trying to keep an eye on.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: I'm not out there like you guys are, and I'm
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: watching it on TV, so I can't really know who's
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: busting the player who don't know what's going on, But that,
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: to me, I thought that was the more damning comment
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: out of that whole thing, but outside of the Michael.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Comment, yeah, I agree with that. I mean I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that that he did have a good interview there and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: he talked about a lot of different things. But you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: he he came out here, Malik did and he said
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: some some some good stuff as well. So you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, he's a player that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to to seeing. Yeah, he's you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: former first from Pick and he's had some injuries and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Cowboys committed to him with a contractor. I think you'll
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: see some really a good season out of out of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Malie Cooker, definitely this year.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: All right, well all right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I go hold.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Some other people want to get on, So I appreciate it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: All right, Louis, appreciate that. Thank you for the call.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Remember too, we got a new number out here at
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: camp two one, four, three, eight seven, sixteen fifty nine.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: We have the two lines open just like we did
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in the past, no change except for the number. Also
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the text line, which of course I don't have in
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: front of me, but you know who does have it,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Dave and fort Worth because he just texted for us.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So he says, I want to give others a chance
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to call, but man Dak talking about how he may
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not be here in the future. It felt very awkward.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: A couple of Jerry mentioning Dak has to be all
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in and stuff felt kind of weird just me. I'm
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: sure it wasn't just you didn't know if you looked
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: at it that way. I think, what what Dak said,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: what I mean, it was a little surprising for him
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to say, just out of reality when you look at
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that he watched growing up and and he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: saw that, you know, he saw change. I think he's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: talking about Peyton Manning for sure. You know, Joe Montana
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: might have been a little you know, he might have
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: been a little too young for that. But but you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it's it happens. I mean, I can think of Dan
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Marino that didn't change teams. What most of them do,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, they want to keep playing. Brett Favre was
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: another changed a couple of times. And so you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it happens. And I think that you know, he understands
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the business side of it, and and and that very
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: well could be a possibility. He knows what he wants,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: his agent knows what he wants out of a deal
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna look at it and see
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: what what they can do as well. And so this
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: is a really jerky thing.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Stephen Jones did allude to that. How how you the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: situation is with just having to try to pay these guys,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: these three guys that all all at once, and you
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: know he mentioned, yeah, Jefferson got signed in Minnesota. They
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: don't have the same issues. Though they're trying to do
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: pay their quarterback. They also have another player in Micah
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Parsons who wants to be the highest paid, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: non quarterback in the league too. So a lot a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: lot to do and they're I don't know what the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: hold up is. We don't really know what it is,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: but we just know it does take time. And I've
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: said this the other day. They always have talked about deadlines,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and they really don't have one right now. But but
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I would imagine we'll be out here at camp and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: they'll be there'll be a contract done out here. I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: really believe that that would be the case. All right,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So let's go to Jeff and Salt Lake City, Utah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Jeff good Man, how are you good?
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: It's been a while. It took one hundred and ninety
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: six times to call to get in, but.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I got in.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, I just I wanted your opinion. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: was curious. I was listening to the news conference Love
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: yesterday and did it feel contentious at all? To you
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: or others that have listened. It seemed to me like
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the front office kind of was up there, like just
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: defending the off season, all the negativity with the fans
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: and all that. What's your thoughts on that?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's yeah. I mean you saw the pr director
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: up there as well. I mean that's kind of what
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: what happens. That's what his job is. That's what they do.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: That's what they do. Uh. Sorry, I got distracted. When
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: when when Derek Eagleton comes by and he's got his
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline shirt on today? I wonder if he's gonna
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: wear that shirt when they do the Break they're Friday
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: doing the Cowboys Break the Best podcast. You know, we've
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: got here. It is Friday. They're gonna you know, the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: saving the Best for last. It's the debut. But I'll
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: see if Derek he goes. I'm sorry, I'm just distracted now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: My question. The answer to the question is yet that's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: what they do that that seriously that that's kind of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that's what the opening press conference of a training camp is. Okay,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's hope. Do you know do they have hope?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And what is the hope? Why is he excited? What
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: makes Jerry excited, what makes Steven excited, and what makes
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: them excited is that they they is what Jerry said
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is we have an outstanding football team, have an outstanding team.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: And I agree with that as well. I think they
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: have a really good team, well outstanding. Will they have
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to they have to come together to be outstanding. But
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: so the point is is that there's still really really
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: good players on the team. And the guys that they lost,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: they lost them, you know they they didn't they couldn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: afford them, they didn't want them, they didn't think that
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: they were worth the money that they got. And they
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: feel like they've got players on this roster that could
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: step up and replace them at a much cheaper cost.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So, and I have one more, one more question for you,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: basically want your opinion on this. Just like listening to
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Steven yesterday and then Jerry talking about those three players Mike,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Acid and Dak taking up seventy five percent of the
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: cap if they were to max out their deals. That
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think that math adds up. But being a
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: draft and developed team, it just seems like lately, over
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: the last five years, we could have avoid Dallas, could
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: have avoided the situation they're in now if maybe they
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: would have staggered these contracts. And I understand the players
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: are trying to get, you know, the most that they
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: can get and all that kind of stuff, but I
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: just I feel like, and with Steven, I feel like
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: he's always mentioning the quarterback contract, so I feel like
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: he kind of throws Dak under the bus a little
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: bit with that. And I know it's negotiation in the
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: media and stuff like that. They're doing what they have
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to do, but it's just frustrating when you see other
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: teams out there, like Detroit this offseason signing all their studs,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Philly continuing to sign all their good guys, and we
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: are best player or one of our best players is
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: not in training camp right now because he feels he's
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: not getting a contract offer worthy of what he deserves. Yeah,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: and I know, you know, half the half the fan
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: base would probably like Dak not to return. But I'm
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a Dak believer and I think he, you know, deserves
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: you know, top five money, you know, and I hope
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: it happens. I hope he stays. But I felt like
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Jerry yesterday was almost kind of preparing us as fans
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: for possibly the departure of Dak next year when he
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: made the analogy of him not being able to afford
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: things in his younger years. And he got over it,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: if that makes sense.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he also said though, he also said that
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he really doesn't see Dak not on the team next year,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you know, right, And I believe him when he says
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that too. You know you you you said Detroit, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: said Philly, Philly's got problems now in their cap too,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Like I know you don't necessarily see it right now,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but but but why stop there? And I and I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: say that because if you go around you look at
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: other teams, they've got those issues as well. There are
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: some there's Team San Francisco's in it right now too,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And so it's don't I'm not telling you not to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: be frustrated that the best player on the team, or
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the at least one of them, is not here. In
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: ceed lamb that's that's frustrating. They would be and they
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: probably could have done it last year, you know. And
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and the funny thing is is that they didn't want
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to pay twenty seven. You know, they didn't want to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: pay twenty seven twenty eight million. Now they would love
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to you know, now now they would love to pay that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when you don't sign them early. They
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: go out, they have record setting year, and now the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: price goes up up and this is kind of where
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: they are. But let me say one thing before, Jeff,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: before you go, yeah, well, do you have another question?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Are you? Are you gonna all free up the line
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: unless you have something else?
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: No? I, I mean I I that was just the
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: big thing for me was the press conference. But I'd
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: like to hear what you what you have to say,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: because I trust your opinion.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. I appreciate that. And uh and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call, as always, Jeff, Jeff, So we'll
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: talk to you down the road, all right. One thing
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that he said about seventy five percent of the cap
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: these three names, that that will never happen. Now I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: know that you guys see, Okay, thirty fifty million a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: year or whatever. Dax will say DA's one's sixty and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and then it's thirty four or thirty three or whatever
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: for for CD, and then Micah's gonna want this forty
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and all that and you add that up. But remember,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like that's not how the cap works. Like you're looking
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: at average per year, but they'll never really be at
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: at that number, you know, especially like CD. I mean,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: he won't be at that number for a while. Now,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. You kick the can down the road.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Eventually you got to pay the piper. But they won't
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: all three be like that. And I think that's part
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of it of how they're kind of trying to structure
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this thing. So you can't just look at it and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: say it's seventy five percent of it, because they can
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: be making fifty million a year and counting like ten
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: or twenty or whatever. That's just the way the Cowboys
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: typically run it. So it's not like they're going to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: be handicapped with just three players there. They'll structure a
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: little different, which also structuring takes time. Doing this all right,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: But as far as the overall press conference, I mean, yeah,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: there were some there were some awkward moments like that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and really just time to face reality. But I think
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day that they want Dak
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to be here and definitely CD and I did get
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the sense that they did talk about three contracts a lot,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: but then there were also times where they talked about
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: two contracts, and so Micah, I just don't feel like
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: they know it's there, but I don't think it's in
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: a situation where they're really doing a lot of heavy
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: negotiating right right now, All right, let's go to Dylan, Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: what's up, hey, mix?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: How's it going?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Man? Good? How are you?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Let me?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Let me start before you get in here by just
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: saying thanking you to everyone about you getting the storyliners
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on on Twitter or x and getting that that thing
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: going and just and actually if you'll tell us a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: little bit about it and what you like about it
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and maybe try to recruit some other listeners to get
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I sure did. I'm telling them at all. First off,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they have birthday to doctor Sunshine.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, it's a show.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I guess probably wouln't even be here without him, right So,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and I get some multiple ways.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Birthday, multiple ways. That's right. I did.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I sure did. I got my storyline shirt in the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: frame behind me with the signed letter and all that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: So you know, when I get on my camera and
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: do my stuff for my job, for for my stuff
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I do on Twitter, it's all right there for everybody
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: to see. I got that there.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks for that. I'm gonna get you another one. I'm
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: gonna get you another one because you gotta wear it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's cool that. Okay, you frame it, but
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you know what, you You've earned it, and I'm gonna
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: get you another one, especially the way you started off this.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Uh you pulling these these fans together. Uh, you get
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you can get one to wear, all right? So all right,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that sounds good.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: We're all planning on coming out to ox there next year,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: a bunch of us are, so I'll make sure I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: wear it. That I'll be cool. Uh So, Yeah, the
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: storylineers pagement. It was actually funny. It's I kind of
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: came up with the idea because we had talked a
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: couple of times last year about the chat rooms and
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: forms and all that, and you guys didn't really want
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to go that route because you've done that before and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: it gets a little weird in there, you know, not
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: really football related stuff. So I'm like, you know what,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I was little nervous to do it because I didn't
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: know if you'd be cool with it or not. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: didn't talk to you beforehand about it, and I was like,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I was sort the word unofficial, you know, in there
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: should be all right, And I reached out to Irene,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you know, we messaged each other all the time on Twitter,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and I was like, Hey, I'm putting this together. You know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: do you want to be a moderator in this thing
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and help me grow it? And she was like, yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: let's do it. So she's done great, and we actually
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: had a plan.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: It was funny.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: On the last day of the last show last season,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: we had a whole plan together to make sure that
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: you know, you guys called it out on air and
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: it was like Adrien was going to text him first,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and if it wasn't read, halfway through the show, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was in the text in and calling We're going to
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: try our best to get that shout out, to get
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: that gone. Because the plan was, you know, with your
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: break coming up, to keep the momentum that you have
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: built all season going through that couple of months break,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and I think we did a good job with that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, every now and then we'll host
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: these spaces where we all get together and that's been great.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And my favorite part about this nick is that people
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: who don't get a chance to call in normally, but
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: they listen to the show habitually, but they can't call
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: in do to work or whatever it might be, they
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: get a chance now to come in and talk to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the community, you know, kind of face to face here
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: on these events. But we have a guy named Davian
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: who's super knowledgeable, great views, and he's a key particiantan
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: on these calls a lot of times, but he can't
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: call in because they're work and all that, So shout
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: outs to him. But yeah, so the twitter phage is
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: called It's a community, and it's called Cowboys Storyliners, and yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: we just basically chat man about football, about the Cowboys,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: about the show. And we've got two hundred and fifty
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: plus members now. It keeps going up every time I
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: look at it. But I'm glad you're able to realize
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: it too, you know, and put shout outs for the
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: show information there as well. I thought been cool.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, yesterday was great for me or sorry Wednesday
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to say, oh guys, we're doing a show. We're doing
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a show right now. I need I need people, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the guys definitely came through. All right, Yeah, funny.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It was one more thing I'm in the funny Like
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: last year, you know when you started up, it was
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: you know, I know you were needing callers and stuff
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: and over the little tough to get going on training
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: camp last year. I got over two hundred dollars today
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to get in. So I think it's.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: It's going good, perfect, thank you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, man, the lost caller, the lost caller, something
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: up for To get on this point, I actually did
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: some math. So I saw Jerry's statement about that seventy
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: five percent right on the cap, and so I took
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: the three highest paid players at their positions, so Joe Burrow,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Nick Polson and Usin Jefferson, and I looked up the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: year they had the highest capit on these contracts, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: it adds up to about fifty percent of the cap.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: That's taking into account like a ten million increase every
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: years in the salary account about fifty percent worst case scenario.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: But we also have to take an account that Dak's
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: got almost sixty million dead money spread out over the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: next four seasons as well, so you've.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Got to add that in.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: You got to add in the fact that Michael is
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: going to get paid more than Bosa and then CDE.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, he wants to get paid apparently more
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: than Jefferson from what Jerry's saying. We don't really know there,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: but I could see a scenario if all of those
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: cap thats intersect at the right time where it gets
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: to like sixty percent. I mean, that would be crazy.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: But we can also backload these deals, like you're saying,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and kick the can down the road from Mica and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: cebe at least wouldn't dreff for Dak, but for at
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: least for those two. So it would be interesting to see.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And I think, if I had to guess, the biggest
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: hang up in this whole thing is probably the length
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: of the contract, especially Dak. That's going to be a
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: killer if he wants four years again.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're you're right about that, I think. But
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you said you did it with the with the the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: highest number that that they hit. Are you talking about
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Burrow and both?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Burrow.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Has like another I think he signed through twenty thirty.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Both I had a few years left on his. Jefferson
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: just signed his. So I took the year where their
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: cat hit percentage is the highest on the salar cap
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: and I just added those together. That's like a worst
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: case scenario type thing that they can't get.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: This mass right right, right, right right. And that's what
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I was saying looking at the lowest number, because that's
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do here, to try
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to keep this thing, keep this thing afloat and looking
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: at the lowest number. But it all counts. I mean,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: at some point you have to do it, or if
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you don't, you have dead money like they have next year.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the hardest part about all this, nick is
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that exact thing is the mass on the structure. It's
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: not even the average per year. And I don't care
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: about that. I don't care about the overall contract value.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I just want to know when their cat hit is
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: going to be the highest, and they can't really happen.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: At the same time, They've got to figure out how
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to stature even if the contract links are all the same.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: So that's probably the challenge they're facing, is my guess.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, are all right? Thanks, Dylan, appreciate that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Check out check out on ex Twitter Cowboys storyliners. It's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a community. Get in there and get some you'll have
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you'll have a chance to kind of speak your peace
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: over there and and if you can't get in here, definitely,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: like you said, you can't over there, and it'll be
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And I'm gonna try to join
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: someone next time they do one of those spaces, I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: gonna try to get in there as well. All right,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: let's go to John Wright. He's in New York. John Wright,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: what's up? Man?
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: Hey, it's going on?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can How you doing.
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: I'm good, I'm good.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's you. Maybe it's because it's New York. If
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you got it. Yeah, what's going on? Man? First time caller?
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, man, that I probably got through just a
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: few things.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: I'm a dark Cowboys.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: I've got a five year old son named Dallas, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: my wife and I got.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Married six years ago.
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: I had a Dallas Cowboys seamed wedding.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I hope is she a fan? I hope?
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, of course she wouldn't agree to it if
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: she wasn't well.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: She is now at least that's cool. Well that's awesome, man.
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: What do you got, Oh, just a few things, you know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: the whole Dack thing hearing about that off season, I
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: think they really like from what it seems to be
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: reading between the lines, it seems like they had like
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: a little conversation and he understands exactly what.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: What is uh being asked of him?
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: And I think that's Super Bowl or US.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And I think they want to.
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: Lean towards Trey Lance if he shows he's worth something.
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: But I think if he bothers in the preseason, then
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: they'll definitely be giving Deck his money. And besides that,
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: I think Nathaniel Pete is gonna be somebody that this season,
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: I mean three seasons.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I think he might really be a game changer for interesting.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not heard anyone say that. And it'll
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: be tough running backs that you won't see it out here. Uh.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: You can see some speed and quickness and you know
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of nice you know, moves here and there,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: but I mean you got to see it in the game.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And he's gonna have to be able to do enough
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: out here in what the coaches can see to get
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the snaps in the game to make a difference, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge for him. There's a lot
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: of young running backs that that are ahead of him
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: that that also will be chomping at the bit. So
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that's another name to throw out there. We'll see what
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: happened that. Nathaniel Pete rookie from Missouri, got a lot,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: got a lot of speed. Uh, you know, he didn't.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: He wasn't even a starter at his at his school.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean they had a fifteen hundred yard rusher there
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: in front of him. So usually you get to the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: NFL you were the man in college and he wasn't.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: So uh that that will be interesting to see how
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: he develops.
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I think with that speed they'll find
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: the role for somewhere, whether it's special or I know
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: we got but still with the new kickoff rules and everything,
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: he might be useful there.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see. I mean, another guy to throw it there. Yeah,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I like it. Uh. And as for Trey Lance, you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got to show that he's better than
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. He's got to show that. Like there's a
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: lot of talk about is he going to be better
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: than dak He's got to be better than Cooper Rush,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and that hasn't always been the case. John. Appreciate the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: call there in New York. Uh, let's keep it rolling here.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: We we don't have as long as we we you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: in the past we were able to just kind of
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: go until the calls kind of run out. We can't
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: do that. We have the we have the Cowboys break
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: right behind this here, and so we'll be out probably
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: ten minutes before nine o'clock in California. So that being said,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I'll keep it going here. Jeff in North Carolina's next. Jeff,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: What's going on?
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Nick?
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: What's up? Man? How are you?
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: I'm doing pretty good. It's been a while since to
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: talk to you. Yeah, y'all been gone. Of course they
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: wouldn't a whole lot going on in June either. But
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: happy birthday to you Dad. Get that out of the way,
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: and thanks for a T shirt. I got that. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: was real excited about that, but I was good. Tell you,
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: I've been a little frustrated, which I know that's surprising
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: for me. But because I've been so frustrated about I'm
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: tired of hearing about contracts and money and all this
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: stuff and I and I just really wasn't even excited
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: about camp until I watched the show the other day
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: and got me all fired up again. Yeah, now I'm
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: ready to go.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: All right, I don't and I don't, you know, whatever happens, whatever,
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: if they pay the guys, they don't, if they don't
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: they if they move on, what if Ryan's just I'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: ready to watch some football, and whoever's going to be here,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: we'll watch them play. I'm excited to watch Trey Lance
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: in the preseason. Well, you know, so we can see
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: one way or the other if they've got anything there.
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: So but uh, but I you know, I and I
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: and I'm not. I'm not getting down on the players
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: that the three guys that need contract. I understand that
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: the serve business and all. It's not all that. If
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: a part of the blame goes to Jerry them, I
• 39:28
  Speaker 10: think I think they've they could be proactive on some
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: of these deals where sometimes the player don't want to
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: sign the deal either. So it's just a lot of
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: things going. But I'm just I'm not. I'm just I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: not gonna worry about it no more. Whatever they do,
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: if they're here, they're here. If they're not, they're not,
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: and we'll just go on with it. But uh, and
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: it's not just in Dallas, it's all over the league.
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: Got I heard where Trent Williams is holding out. Trent
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: Williams already got paid. I mean, come on, guys, they
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: got other guys that need to be paid then, and
• 39:59
  Speaker 10: he's holding now that San Francisco now, and it's just
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: it's just, I don't know, it's just frustrating that everybody
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: weren't about money and and but I know it's a
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: bus necessary, but.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, and remember this, yeah, about about Dak.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I thought he said some he said a lot of
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: interesting things, but one of the things that caught my
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: eye was or I really perked up when he said,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: you know, he understands his obligation is different than others,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and he's got an obligation to the rest of the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. And I think people forget that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if every wide receiver, the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: top receiver one goes to the other wide receiver one
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game and shakes their hand,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: or the best corner does that, but every quarterback does it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: The quarterbacks do that. That's their own little fraternity. And
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: if Dak doesn't sit here and push for the money
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that he has earned of based off the season he had,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: then that's not helping the other young quarterbacks and the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: same thing. They're in this thing together. They played the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: toughest position in the league. So he's got an obligation
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the quarterbacks to do it that way.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: He's got an obligation to his football team that they've
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: already paid him to go out here and be here
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: in the first game. He's not holding out. He's never
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: really held out, and he understood Thans that as well.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: He understands the business side of everything. He's got guys
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: in the locker room that looking up to him that
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that are depending on him, counting on him, that fans
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: you guys. And at the same time, he's also trying
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to do it for the business side of it and
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: what's fair to him and his family. That's a tough
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: balance to do, and he's doing it, and so I
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: think we got to remember that aspect to it, and
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I applaud that for that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I do. I love Dak and I don't want
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: I don't want to see him go nowhere. I don't
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: want to see none of them go no where, although
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: personally I think it is going to be hard to
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: keep all three of them.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: But sure, but we'll see.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: I mean, maybe they'll get creative with it and and
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: work it out somehow. I really hope they can't get
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: CD done. I think, you know, I Bobby Belt said
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: out to day that somebody you know, I don't. He
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: wouldn't reveal his sore ser is either him or Zach Walschuk.
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: He said that they felt like the Lamb was going
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: to have a deal done by tomorrow. But you know,
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: we'll see.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: But we'll see.
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: But I hope, I hope they can get it all
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: worked out. But I am I'm you know. After I
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: listened to the show Tuesday, I was, I'm back, super
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: excited for the season, and we'll see how it goes.
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: Just take one game at a time and just try
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: to enjoy the journey.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, appreciate that.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: Don't be fine, and hopefully I'll talk to you camp.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I have a good one. Man, Jeff seems a little down.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Can't be down. Man's just starting training camp like that.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I've heard that whole I mean, I've done this like
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: seven times now where it's like, Oh, it's gonna be
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be next week with CD, it's gonna be tomorrow,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be. No, it's not happening right now. It's
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: like it hasn't happened. I'm not saying that won't happen
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: today or tomorrow whatever, but I'm just I'm not doing
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: that anymore of being like, Okay, get ready, he get ready.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Story has been written, We're ready to go. Just got
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: to plug in the date whenever it happens. All right,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas? What's up?
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: I I robbed that. How you doing?
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Okay? Good? He's just gonna dive right in.
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: I know I sat higher, didn't hear.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all right.
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: Uh I watched a press conference. I thought I thought
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: it was a train wreck.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: I love Jerry. Jerry.
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: You know, for all these years, Jerry had fire passion,
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: and I just think the fire you don't have the
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: fire anymore. And I understandable. He's ay something you know
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: eighty you know, I get it. And Stephen, I just
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: have no confidence with Steven. Stephen just reminds me of
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: a numbers guy. And that's all he looks at and
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: sometimes you have to look beyond that. I always thought
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: the team is going to be good on the field.
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: I always my worry is off the field. And I
• 43:57
  Speaker 9: think you saw it. Mike McCarty looked like he was
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: being held hostage. I mean, I and Dak. I think
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: Doc is saying I'm not coming back. If I was
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: Dak Prescott, I wouldn't sign anything. Write it out. You
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: know what Dak is gonna be.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: He's gonna be.
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: Thirty five touchdowns, nine interception.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: It's going to be really really good.
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: And the Giants and other teams are going to throw
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: a boatload of money at him, and so that's gonna be, like,
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: you know what, I'm not appreciated. You know that they
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: don't appreciate him. I think that's out. So I think
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: he kind of saw that. And with the fans, I
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: think he was even calling out like the other call
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: said half the fan base saying, oh you want me gone?
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: Okay?
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: So I just I don't know. I just got a
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: bad vibe, especially if they get off to a rough start,
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: which is possible because they got some tough games. I mean,
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: I just the vibe was bad. I mean the questions.
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: I don't know who I asked, and I think it
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: was Kyla Short. I basically said, why do you keep
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: doing the same things for thirty five years whenever? And
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: there's no answer, And the answer is because Jerry.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Wants to be involved.
• 45:13
  Speaker 9: Jerry would have fired himself for any other position in
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: any of his businesses. But the Cowboys is his hobbies.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Rob, I can't. I can't let you
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: say that it's not his hobby. And you said that
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the passion. I don't. I don't agree with that.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, I just don't.
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: Well, I just don't feel it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: But I don't see the old Jerry. Jerry used to
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: make deals and now Jerry, let's be honest, Jerry didn't
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: have to get anybody's permission, his son or anything. Jerry
• 45:43
  Speaker 9: would make deals. And Jerry talked about the old ways,
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: the old ways there was no salary cap.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know that was the animal. Yeah. But
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: but you say, I don't see it. You don't see
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: it in the in a thirty seven minute press conference,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: you know, like like there's a there's a lot more
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: to it. And and I think what you're also saying
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: is you don't see it, and you thought he would
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: have gone in and done all this, you know, these
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: moves and and and to try to, you know, get better.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: And I just think that you got to really understand that.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, the cap, the cap is real. It's a
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: real thing. They really don't have it. It's not like
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 46:19
  Speaker 9: It is and it isn't. It's it's fake money. It
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: goes up every.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Year, okay, and it's been fake money. It's fake money
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: until it's real, and it's been fake.
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: But they're not good at it. Let's be honest.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're not good at it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: They haven't been good at it for thirty years.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: They're just not.
• 46:34
  Speaker 9: Good at going all in, all into Jerry. He's talking
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: about ticket sales. I don't believe that in a minute
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: that ticket sales were the highest. There's no way show
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: me that, all right, there's no way. Because as much
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: as I love the Cowboys, this fan base I never
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: heard it so down on this team. And it's not
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: because of the players. I think it's because of management.
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: They're seeing the Lions and the Eagles and going all
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: in and buying these players, and now you've got three
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: of the best best of the league and haven't signed them.
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: The message to your other players is like, they're not
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: gonna sign the three best, we got forget about me.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Well, it's actually the opposite, I would we got to
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I gotta get another caller. Thanks for the call, But
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I will say I think it could be the opposite
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to that. They're gonna not forget about what about me? No,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: they are gonna sign you because they not necessarily can
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: get all three of them. So yeah, they'll they'll figure
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it out. They always do. Maybe they don't do it
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to the point of of your liking and getting it
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl level and all that. But I'm
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and say that this team, you know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: it's down. If the fan base is down, then it's
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: because of the expectations. To me are just too high.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, and they should be. This is a good
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: football team. It has been. It hasn't been great. They
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: got to figure out how to be great. Let's go
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: one more caller, Mike and a Popka Florida. What's up, Mike?
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Hey are we doing good? How are you good?
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: Great? Techt again?
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Great hit?
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: Our new season underway?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Aren't you the first caller? That we've ever had.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: I was, sir, I will up edge honorably well.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: And it's the first year, it's the it's the one
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: year anniversary of the storyline, So it makes sense for
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: you to be the last caller of this show. Mike,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: Hey, So a quick question then then just a comment,
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: So which position group in your opinion, is the strongest
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: that this team has and in which is the in
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: your opinion weakest, And then just one simple comment on
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: the on the contracts for these three guys. Uh In
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: January against Green Bay, none of these three guys really
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: showed up, and that's when we need them to show
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: up the most. And when I think about the nineties
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: teams and you had done it and Michael and Troy
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: and the biggest games, those guys always showed up and
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: played their best games. And I remember CD and you know,
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: the second drive of the green Bay game, he was
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: on the burnstade to go talk to him. He was like,
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: what the heck is going on? It's the second drive
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: of the game. I find it hard when they go
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: into the contract talks, which Steven said yesterday, is that
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: they're wanting to be the highest paid non quarterbacks in
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: the league, and Dark wants to be the highest paid
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: quarterback in the league. To me, if you're going to
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: demand that money, you have to show up in the
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: biggest games, and they haven't proven yet that they do that.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: So just my comment on the.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Contract, yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks, thanks Mike, and and
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: unfortunately it just doesn't work that way all the time.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: It's the last one that we remember, you know, and
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Baltimore fans are probably saying, well, it's the last last game.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He couldn't even win, you know, why is
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: he the MVP? You know, it doesn't it doesn't work
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that way. It's a it's a huge sample size of
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: a season. Dak had a great season. The Cowboys had
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: a great season last year in my opinion. Now they
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: didn't win and they were a huge disappointment, but the
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But it's still it was a really,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: really good season and they won twelve games. Again, this
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: is a good franchise with good players, and so that's
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that's the way look at it. I think a lot
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: of times people just take what have you done for
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: me yesterday type mentality to answer the question. The strongest
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: position on the team that that is a that is
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: a really tough question for me. I mean, I would
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: probably I'm looking around and I'm thinking, Okay, who's got
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the best backup to the best starter, And it's probably
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: quarterback honestly. I mean, I think Dak is playing at
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: a very high level, and Cooper Rush, I think is
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: a capable backup. And you got a third quarterback who
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: was a number three overall pick I mean talent wise,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: and I think quarterback. And then the weakest will probably
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: be running back. You just don't have running backs that
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that have done a whole lot. And you know you're
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: now you're counting on Zeke really wasn't a starter of
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: the last two years to be the starter, and no
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: one else has really done it a lot. So that's
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: but then again, all that can change, uh rather quickly.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Here we'll see what running backs emerge. All right. We
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: got to get out of here because we got Cowboys
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Break coming up here. They got a new lineup this year,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: uh not new names, but a new lineup, and it'll
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: be fun to see what we've got there from from
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Derek and that crew here on the Cowboys Break. But
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: we'll see you guys on Tuesday. Remember we go every
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: other day during the during the weekdays, so we will
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: not have a show on Monday. We go back on
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Tuesday and that will be our our first show of
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: next week. So for everybody, Chris being thanks so much
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: for all the callers. Good stuff. Guys. We will see
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: you next week on Cowboys Storyline. See then.
