- 0:17Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 4: Here's Nick Eatman, what's up. Welcome to Cowboys Storylines, Wednesday,
- 0:26Speaker 4: May thirteenth. I'm Nick Eatman. Let's talk some Cowboys. Football
- 0:30Speaker 4: feels a lot longer than just a week ago. To me,
- 0:33Speaker 4: I don't know, not that a ton of things have happened.
- 0:35Speaker 4: Maybe that's the problem. It is going to be rather
- 0:39Speaker 4: quiet month of May, since the Cowboys really don't do anything.
- 0:43Speaker 4: Don't hit the practice field again until June for OTAs.
- 0:46Speaker 4: But we will have some news obviously tomorrow. The NFL
- 0:50Speaker 4: schedule will be released Thursday night. I think it's about
- 0:56Speaker 4: I think it's seven o'clock Central time, if it hasn't
- 0:59Speaker 4: already been all leaked by then. And I say that
- 1:02Speaker 4: just because the NFL is doing a lot of the
- 1:05Speaker 4: of the leaking. We know the Cowboys are playing the
- 1:09Speaker 4: Giants shocker for the first game of the season Eagles
- 1:13Speaker 4: on Thanksgiving.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:14Speaker 4: We know Week three obviously is in Brazil against the Ravens.
- 1:17Speaker 4: So start piecing these things together, and I'm sure by
- 1:21Speaker 4: tomorrow night somebody will have it out there. And whether
- 1:25Speaker 4: it's correct or not, who knows, but I know this.
- 1:28Speaker 4: We if you want videos, if if you like like
- 1:31Speaker 4: the schedule release videos, Dallas Cowboys in Dallascowboys dot Com.
- 1:37Speaker 4: That's your spot, Dallas Cowboys Social. We've got I think
- 1:42Speaker 4: a total of four videos in some capacity that we're
- 1:46Speaker 4: going to show. There's one big one that that all
- 1:49Speaker 4: the teams do, their schedule release and and ours I
- 1:51Speaker 4: think is going to be really good this year. It's
- 1:55Speaker 4: it's it's different, it's a little different than what you've
- 1:58Speaker 4: seen before. I'm just gonna throw throw that out there.
- 2:02Speaker 4: You know, every once in a while when everyone talks,
- 2:04Speaker 4: you know, takes shots at the at the kid, you know,
- 2:07Speaker 4: he swings back every now and again. So I'll just
- 2:10Speaker 4: say this. That's all I'm gonna say. Is that schedule
- 2:12Speaker 4: release video little, a little spicy. I like it, all right,
- 2:18Speaker 4: Let's get to the callers A eighty five two two
- 2:21Speaker 4: nine seven. We'll start us off. Brian in Kansas City.
- 2:23Speaker 6: Brian, what's up, Good morning, sir, How are you good?
- 2:27Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 2:28Speaker 7: Uh?
- 2:29Speaker 6: Doing pretty good?
- 2:30Speaker 8: Man?
- 2:30Speaker 6: Hey? I got two questions for you today. So the
- 2:34Speaker 6: first one is about the schedule that you were just
- 2:37Speaker 6: talking about. Yep, when the schedule comes out, what's the
- 2:42Speaker 6: first thing you look for? Knowing what we already know?
- 2:45Speaker 6: I'm talking about this year, knowing what we already know,
- 2:47Speaker 6: the three games we already you know that we're already released,
- 2:51Speaker 6: what's the first thing you're going to look for?
- 2:53Speaker 4: Chris? Chris can help me on this one. Chris, do
- 2:56Speaker 4: you want to answer with me? And we haven't even
- 2:58Speaker 4: talked about this, but I bet, I bet he says
- 3:00Speaker 4: the same thing.
- 3:02Speaker 9: Where am I going to be freezing my rear off
- 3:04Speaker 9: in December?
- 3:04Speaker 4: That's true. He looks at it a little differently because
- 3:07Speaker 4: he is definitely on the sidelines and it is a
- 3:10Speaker 4: lot colder than I'm down there. For like ten minutes,
- 3:12Speaker 4: I'm like, can.
- 3:13Speaker 9: We not get Green Bay in December? Please?
- 3:15Speaker 7: Get true?
- 3:15Speaker 4: Well, that's what I look at but for me and
- 3:18Speaker 4: and along those lines, but for different reasons. And I
- 3:21Speaker 4: know he can relate to this Christmas.
- 3:23Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Chris, that's another.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Christmas Christmas because you know, as I'm not the boss
- 3:30Speaker 4: of my own house, and so you know what I mean,
- 3:32Speaker 4: you have I have to deal with that kind of stuff.
- 3:34Speaker 4: And then and and your wives kind of think that
- 3:36Speaker 4: we do set the schedule a little bit. Oh you're
- 3:39Speaker 4: not gonna be home for Christmas. It's like no, sorry,
- 3:41Speaker 4: we got to go to this Washington game for two
- 3:43Speaker 4: teams out of the playoffs. But Brian, to answer your question,
- 3:47Speaker 4: for me, it's it's always, it's always Christmas, and you know,
- 3:51Speaker 4: and then like then the next wave, then I start
- 3:54Speaker 4: looking at bye weeks and then who's you know, who's
- 3:59Speaker 4: my college team playing on bye weeks and what kind
- 4:02Speaker 4: of things we can get into and stuff like that.
- 4:04Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, cold weather games, Christmas, that kind of stuff.
- 4:07Speaker 4: But it's not for what you think, like from a
- 4:09Speaker 4: competitive standpoint.
- 4:11Speaker 10: Of of like right, three out of.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Four and you know, it's more personal though for me.
- 4:16Speaker 7: But yeah, what.
- 4:19Speaker 4: About what do you what do you look at as
- 4:22Speaker 4: a fan?
- 4:23Speaker 6: The one thing the things this year, the two things
- 4:26Speaker 6: I want to know is where are we the game
- 4:30Speaker 6: before the Brazil game?
- 4:35Speaker 7: Okay, it's got.
- 4:36Speaker 4: To be right, I mean, it's got to be home because.
- 4:38Speaker 7: It should be.
- 4:39Speaker 6: Who's who's considered the home team for that game?
- 4:42Speaker 4: Cowboys solways have nine home games, so you know, it's
- 4:46Speaker 4: just think of it like eight eight in neutral. Really,
- 4:48Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of right is this year? But
- 4:51Speaker 4: there Week one is on the road against the Giants.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Week three is at Brazil and or you know, in Brazil,
- 4:59Speaker 4: and then I don't believe our stadium is available, So
- 5:03Speaker 4: I think that's going to be a road game also
- 5:05Speaker 4: coming back from Brazil. Don't be surprised if it's the
- 5:10Speaker 4: closest road game the Cowboys have. But that leaves the
- 5:13Speaker 4: Week two, I mean doesn't have to be a road game,
- 5:16Speaker 4: but it probably at home, but it probably will be home.
- 5:20Speaker 6: Yeah, you hope. So just because of the travel, that
- 5:22Speaker 6: was the thing that I was thinking about. Same thing,
- 5:25Speaker 6: same thing with Thanksgiving. I always want to know where
- 5:29Speaker 6: do you have to be the week before the week after?
- 5:31Speaker 6: You know how much travels involved there. So I'll give
- 5:35Speaker 6: you my other question. Then I'll hang up and take
- 5:37Speaker 6: that off air Man. So, if you could only get
- 5:41Speaker 6: one more person for the team, I don't want to
- 5:47Speaker 6: say person. I want to like be like, hey, we're
- 5:49Speaker 6: trading for Miles Garrett a position, one position. If you
- 5:54Speaker 6: could get one position.
- 5:56Speaker 11: And it was a cop at least.
- 5:58Speaker 6: A competent starter or better what would it be for me?
- 6:02Speaker 6: It's left tackle, and I'll take the I'll take your
- 6:05Speaker 6: answer off air brother.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a that's a good one. That that
- 6:08Speaker 4: that solidifies that if you if you can tell me
- 6:11Speaker 4: it's gonna be better than Guidon, then yeah, I'm I'm
- 6:16Speaker 4: with you there. And I was thinking more on the
- 6:18Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball before you said that, but
- 6:22Speaker 4: just thinking like, okay, can you get better than Asaku,
- 6:26Speaker 4: you know, coming off the edge or you know you've
- 6:29Speaker 4: got Gary and Sam Williams is going to do some things.
- 6:33Speaker 4: And but but I agree with you left tackle. I
- 6:36Speaker 4: think if you just knew left tackle is better and
- 6:38Speaker 4: and if Guiden is better this year, that's the preference obviously,
- 6:43Speaker 4: because you can't just keep saying all right, first round
- 6:46Speaker 4: pick and and then oh this doesn't work, let's let's
- 6:49Speaker 4: fix it. I mean, you got to develop these guys,
- 6:51Speaker 4: especially the first round pick, especially one that you knew
- 6:54Speaker 4: needed needed to be developed. I mean, he wasn't drafted
- 6:58Speaker 4: in the first round because of what he's done at Oklahoma.
- 7:01Speaker 4: He was drafted because of what he was going to do,
- 7:03Speaker 4: and you gotta let him get into that. One of
- 7:08Speaker 4: the other things about the schedule. You know that that
- 7:10Speaker 4: I am starting to look at now these these days
- 7:14Speaker 4: is the back to back Thanksgiving Thursday, back to back
- 7:19Speaker 4: thursdays after Thanksgiving. I I'm not a fan of that,
- 7:22Speaker 4: and I hope that that they don't do that to
- 7:25Speaker 4: the Cowboys this year. You know, yes, it it evens
- 7:31Speaker 4: out eventually, right, I mean it evens out because eventually
- 7:35Speaker 4: you get that break after Thanksgiving. But to play right before,
- 7:41Speaker 4: you know, to play the week before, and and it's
- 7:44Speaker 4: not always on the road. It had been for a while.
- 7:46Speaker 4: This last year, wasn't They played Philly at home and
- 7:48Speaker 4: in Kansas City, and then they went the next week
- 7:51Speaker 4: and played played Detroit. I just think when when you're
- 7:54Speaker 4: asking these teams to go short week like like they
- 7:58Speaker 4: are like Sunday Thursday, and then give them the break,
- 8:02Speaker 4: I mean, don't, don't just don't just put it back
- 8:04Speaker 4: and then oh, now you got to go again on
- 8:06Speaker 4: on Thursday, and then you get the break. That's two
- 8:09Speaker 4: games in four days is tough, uh, And then then
- 8:12Speaker 4: to come back and say, three games in eleven days.
- 8:15Speaker 4: I just don't think that's necessary. I don't think they
- 8:18Speaker 4: I think that that's actually a disadvantage even though, yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 4: you you get a break a little bit after that,
- 8:23Speaker 4: but that's that is a tough grind, especially what they
- 8:25Speaker 4: did to the Cowboys last year with those three really
- 8:27Speaker 4: really challenging games there. Yeah, the Cowboys won a couple there,
- 8:31Speaker 4: Philly in Kansas City, but you know, the Detroit game
- 8:35Speaker 4: took its toll, and you know he had guys leaving
- 8:37Speaker 4: that game with with concussion, so safety wise, I don't
- 8:41Speaker 4: know if that's the best thing to do there, all right?
- 8:45Speaker 2: Is it?
- 8:45Speaker 4: Jeremy and salt Lake now?
- 8:48Speaker 9: Chris?
- 8:49Speaker 4: Oh? Okay? Christ and saratogas Saratoga Springs. I don't see
- 8:53Speaker 4: him on my list. Chris, what's up man?
- 8:55Speaker 12: What's going on there? How are you good?
- 8:57Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 8:58Speaker 13: Not too bad?
- 8:59Speaker 12: I didn't get to ask in the last time on
- 9:01Speaker 12: the show. Did you did you watch the Kentucky Derby?
- 9:03Speaker 6: No?
- 9:04Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't watch it.
- 9:06Speaker 12: Sorry, oh buddy, no, coming up on Saturday.
- 9:10Speaker 4: I saw the highlights for sure. I mean, that was
- 9:13Speaker 4: pretty awesome. How the guy just went from all the
- 9:16Speaker 4: way from the back and and and you know, down
- 9:19Speaker 4: the stretch that was that was awesome. But I didn't
- 9:21Speaker 4: watch it live. I didn't.
- 9:22Speaker 12: Yeah, she's the trainer from my hometown and Saratoga, and
- 9:27Speaker 12: her dad's an actual harness trainer, yeah, in Saratoga as well,
- 9:32Speaker 12: So she's a home, homegrown trainer, which was outstanding.
- 9:36Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's that's pretty awesome. Well, I know that's
- 9:39Speaker 4: a big deal and and that and that part of
- 9:41Speaker 4: the country for sure.
- 9:43Speaker 12: Oh, definitely a little disappointed at that we got the Giants.
- 9:47Speaker 12: I feel like we play the Giants opening week every week,
- 9:51Speaker 12: and it's always like a Sunday night games. I was
- 9:53Speaker 12: trying to get my take my son to that one,
- 9:55Speaker 12: but you know, school the next morning, that's not gonna work.
- 9:58Speaker 12: But seems like we always get the Giants opening opening
- 10:02Speaker 12: game Sunday night football.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Well, I mean until they start beating the Cowboys.
- 10:06Speaker 6: You know.
- 10:06Speaker 4: I mean, i'd, you know, like in that game, I would,
- 10:09Speaker 4: I would definitely, uh you know, stop coming. I wouldn't
- 10:13Speaker 4: complain about it, is what I'm saying. I don't understand
- 10:15Speaker 4: personal reasons for you, but I've just in general, I've
- 10:18Speaker 4: heard a lot of people kind of upset by it.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I'm like, when when do you want to play the
- 10:22Speaker 4: Giants when it's snowing, you know, I mean, like like
- 10:25Speaker 4: if you think about it, and I haven't thought of
- 10:28Speaker 4: this until just now, but the last three times the
- 10:31Speaker 4: Cowboys have lost at the Giants, I believe every game
- 10:35Speaker 4: has either been in January or December snowing in at
- 10:39Speaker 4: least two of them. So in that dates all the
- 10:43Speaker 4: way back before Dak was here. So anything that's not
- 10:47Speaker 4: in the final month of the season has not been
- 10:49Speaker 4: good for the Giants to host the Cowboys.
- 10:53Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I remember correctly. Dak's only lots of
- 10:56Speaker 12: rookie year of the Giants at that stadium. I think
- 10:59Speaker 12: he's like eleven and one.
- 11:01Speaker 4: And it was snowing in pre game.
- 11:03Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 11:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like ten to seven and was not
- 11:06Speaker 4: an offensive shootout at all.
- 11:09Speaker 12: Yeah. I'm still not happy about this Caleb Down's number situation.
- 11:14Speaker 12: I mean, eighteen to thirteen, and it doesn't move the
- 11:16Speaker 12: needle to me for me, I think if I think, Jerry,
- 11:19Speaker 12: you maybe need to make a call and say, listen,
- 11:21Speaker 12: let's get this number stuff taken care of. He needs
- 11:24Speaker 12: to be a number two.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he does. He does. And I have some
- 11:29Speaker 4: thoughts on it as well, and they're similar to yours.
- 11:34Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if I don't know how
- 11:37Speaker 4: the process goes. I just I just feel like it's
- 11:40Speaker 4: something that's avoidable that before all of this, you know,
- 11:44Speaker 4: let's let's get the draft settled and get all your
- 11:48Speaker 4: team before you start, you know, issuing some of these
- 11:51Speaker 4: top numbers, which you know, especially numbers like a number
- 11:54Speaker 4: two that you know is going to sell really well.
- 11:56Speaker 4: But they'll they'll, they'll sort it out. I just don't
- 11:59Speaker 4: know what happens to the people that are buying these
- 12:01Speaker 4: thirteen jerseys if he does end up changing right.
- 12:06Speaker 7: Uh.
- 12:06Speaker 12: Only question I really got for you today is you
- 12:08Speaker 12: do you see us signing any other any other free agents,
- 12:11Speaker 12: maybe maybe a linebacker or anything else coming up here
- 12:14Speaker 12: before camp.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have a person or a player, but
- 12:20Speaker 4: I I wouldn't be surprised if, if, if there is
- 12:23Speaker 4: something that that happens, just because there's guys that are
- 12:27Speaker 4: out there still and there's some you know, in the
- 12:29Speaker 4: price tackles start going down a little bit, and yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys will find somebody else. I don't
- 12:34Speaker 4: think it's gonna move the needle though that much for you,
- 12:38Speaker 4: but but I think, yeah, they'll I'm I'm sure this
- 12:41Speaker 4: is not the group that will that will you know completely,
- 12:44Speaker 4: that will go to Aux Narm. So all right, all right, Chris,
- 12:49Speaker 4: have a good one. Thanks for the call. Let's keep
- 12:51Speaker 4: it rolling.
- 12:52Speaker 14: Now.
- 12:52Speaker 4: We got Jeremy in Salt Lake. Jeremy, what's up?
- 12:56Speaker 7: Hey?
- 12:56Speaker 14: What's going on? Nick?
- 12:57Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 12:59Speaker 10: I'm good, I'm good.
- 13:00Speaker 14: Right.
- 13:01Speaker 10: So, yeah, I heard earlier when you were talking about
- 13:05Speaker 10: the schedule a week four. You don't think that's going
- 13:08Speaker 10: to be a buye.
- 13:09Speaker 4: No, I just don't think it will be. I think
- 13:13Speaker 4: that they they they're gonna do the buye later on.
- 13:16Speaker 4: So I think it's going to be a road game,
- 13:20Speaker 4: but right on. I mean thinking of it like this, like, yeah,
- 13:24Speaker 4: it's it's tough travel. But at the same time, we're
- 13:28Speaker 4: gonna land at three am probably, so I don't know,
- 13:32Speaker 4: something like that to three o'clock in the morning after
- 13:36Speaker 4: the game. That's that's that's not abnormal for this team.
- 13:40Speaker 4: You know, we we had night games and then you
- 13:42Speaker 4: go and you do that and then so you know
- 13:45Speaker 4: it's going to be a long trip trip, long travel,
- 13:47Speaker 4: but at the same time, your schedule is not gonna
- 13:51Speaker 4: be off kilter that much. It really won't be. I mean,
- 13:54Speaker 4: the big difference is you don't leave on Saturday, the
- 13:57Speaker 4: day of the game before you're leaving on Thursday night
- 14:01Speaker 4: and then you know, or that's at least the proposed schedule.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I mean, there there could be some changes in this,
- 14:09Speaker 4: but I just don't think it's going to be that
- 14:12Speaker 4: much of a change for them. And then, yeah, so
- 14:16Speaker 4: it'll And in fact, I don't want that to be
- 14:18Speaker 4: a home game if you think about it, because that
- 14:21Speaker 4: means three out of your first four games are going
- 14:23Speaker 4: to be home games.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Uh.
- 14:25Speaker 4: That means you're gonna have a lot of road games
- 14:27Speaker 4: after that, and you know later in the season colder
- 14:29Speaker 4: weather and all that. So I think when September finishes,
- 14:34Speaker 4: for or at least the first four weeks of the season,
- 14:36Speaker 4: to have two home and two road would be fine.
- 14:40Speaker 10: Yeah, well follow up on that. So do you think
- 14:43Speaker 10: it affects the team more the trip two of the
- 14:47Speaker 10: trip back? You know what I'm saying. Yeah, if you
- 14:51Speaker 10: look at like the plane ride, it's comparable to going
- 14:55Speaker 10: to Seattle, I guess.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Yeah, No, no, no, I don't think I don't. I
- 15:00Speaker 4: mean it's about Chris helped me with this eight hours,
- 15:03Speaker 4: ten hours. I mean, it's it's not four that long.
- 15:07Speaker 9: The trip to Rio. Yeah, ten and a half.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Okay, so no, it's and a half.
- 15:13Speaker 15: One way, right, yeah, one way, not round trip, yes,
- 15:16Speaker 15: so yeah. And that game's at three fifteen on Sunday,
- 15:21Speaker 15: So I meant Central time, Central time, so it'll be
- 15:25Speaker 15: like five there because it's only a two hour time
- 15:27Speaker 15: difference in Rio.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, well I take it back. We're not going
- 15:33Speaker 4: to be landing at three o'clock in the morning.
- 15:35Speaker 9: No, it's going to be like noon on Monday.
- 15:41Speaker 15: So there will not be a storyline on Monday.
- 15:46Speaker 9: After the Rio game.
- 15:48Speaker 4: No, there can't be. Is there gonna be anything after
- 15:51Speaker 4: the Rio game? I mean, are you gonna come back
- 15:53Speaker 4: and just be like I want someone to help me
- 15:56Speaker 4: out a little bit? All right? Anyways, what's up anything else, Jeremy.
- 16:03Speaker 10: No, that's pretty much it. I just kind of want
- 16:05Speaker 10: to know your opinions about how travel affects the team,
- 16:08Speaker 10: like coming and going. Is it the trip back that really,
- 16:13Speaker 10: you know, tires them out for the next game, or
- 16:15Speaker 10: is it you know, being on a shorter week schedule
- 16:19Speaker 10: kind of thing, that kind of thing. If you just
- 16:21Speaker 10: talked to that, that's what.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Kind of Yeah, I appreciate the call. And and you know,
- 16:26Speaker 4: I think this team does a good job of I mean,
- 16:29Speaker 4: most teams, I'm sure, do a good job of getting
- 16:31Speaker 4: these guys get their bodies right. If you can play
- 16:34Speaker 4: these these short weeks, I would imagine playing on a
- 16:37Speaker 4: Sunday and then playing on a Thursday's got to be
- 16:40Speaker 4: the toughest thing. And so it also depends too, like like,
- 16:46Speaker 4: and that's not what's happening here. So what I'm saying
- 16:48Speaker 4: is is that when you're used to doing that, I
- 16:51Speaker 4: think these type of trips are probably going to be Okay.
- 16:54Speaker 4: What I don't know and I can't speak to, is
- 16:56Speaker 4: just what the accommodations are going to be for the
- 16:59Speaker 4: player on on the flight. You know, they try, even
- 17:04Speaker 4: on shorter flights, they try to get you know, get
- 17:07Speaker 4: these guys to have their own space and be able
- 17:09Speaker 4: to stretch their legs and stuff like that. And and
- 17:12Speaker 4: and at least you know, have enough rooms, you know,
- 17:14Speaker 4: seats between them. So we'll see. It's just different. It's
- 17:18Speaker 4: not something that I can speak to because we have
- 17:21Speaker 4: never traveled for a home game before ever in the
- 17:24Speaker 4: history of the Cowboys that I have been a part of.
- 17:28Speaker 4: We've never traveled to a place. An reason why I
- 17:30Speaker 4: say home game is because there are people that that
- 17:33Speaker 4: are cover you know, this team at home at AT
- 17:37Speaker 4: and T Stadium that you know, you have a function
- 17:40Speaker 4: as the home team. You have to provide this or
- 17:44Speaker 4: this or this cheerleaders being one of them, and so
- 17:47Speaker 4: you know they they will be there. So I don't
- 17:49Speaker 4: know what the travel is going to be, like, I
- 17:51Speaker 4: don't really know what the plane is going to be
- 17:53Speaker 4: and how much, but I would imagine the players will
- 17:56Speaker 4: will make they will make sure that the players have
- 17:59Speaker 4: the best spot for them and then when when they
- 18:02Speaker 4: you know, when they get back, whether it's noon on Monday,
- 18:06Speaker 4: you know. And I think that they're going to play
- 18:08Speaker 4: on the road, but I think it'll, like I said,
- 18:11Speaker 4: I think it'll be a short, short trip and maybe
- 18:14Speaker 4: even a Monday night game, so which or Sunday night,
- 18:17Speaker 4: which would make it even better. All right, Randy and
- 18:19Speaker 4: Texas Canada? What's up, Randy?
- 18:22Speaker 16: What's going on? Keim Polk?
- 18:23Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 18:25Speaker 16: I'm doing great. I've been trying to get in, you know,
- 18:28Speaker 16: I sent you that message. I just now got in.
- 18:32Speaker 16: I wanted to ask you about Turpin. Let's change gears
- 18:35Speaker 16: a little bit. Last year when I called in, I
- 18:38Speaker 16: said Turpin was gonna be our MVP, and I did
- 18:41Speaker 16: not realize our special teams was going to fold like
- 18:44Speaker 16: it did. Do you think I've got multiple things on
- 18:47Speaker 16: Turping here? Do you think that some of it was
- 18:50Speaker 16: him or was it coaching? Because you know, he did
- 18:54Speaker 16: really good the year before. That's what made me think.
- 18:57Speaker 16: You know, if he does the same stuff on special
- 18:59Speaker 16: teams and then becomes a really good receiver, he'd be MVP. Well,
- 19:03Speaker 16: obviously our special teams was not very great last year,
- 19:06Speaker 16: so I was wondering was that a coaching was that
- 19:08Speaker 16: a players? What happened to our special teams last year?
- 19:12Speaker 16: What's your opinion on that?
- 19:14Speaker 4: Well, all right, I'll answer that. You said you had
- 19:16Speaker 4: other other questions on Turping.
- 19:18Speaker 16: Or well, just yeah, more statements or so, if if
- 19:26Speaker 16: Purfin starts off the year having, you know, a hard
- 19:30Speaker 16: time of special teams, should should he focus on just
- 19:33Speaker 16: special teams because that's where he earned his money. Like
- 19:35Speaker 16: I get that he's cool in the in the passing game,
- 19:39Speaker 16: with a sweep here and a long bomb here and there.
- 19:41Speaker 16: But we've picked up several new receivers the last two
- 19:45Speaker 16: years that are young that could fill that duty. Well,
- 19:50Speaker 16: you know, so should he go back to being a
- 19:54Speaker 16: just special teams guy or I hate to say that,
- 19:57Speaker 16: but should he be trade bait because somebody would love
- 20:01Speaker 16: to add him if they were one piece missing, you know,
- 20:04Speaker 16: And yeah, go that route because we've got I think
- 20:08Speaker 16: I think a corner or a receiver that they got
- 20:11Speaker 16: this year is supposed to be a really good returner
- 20:13Speaker 16: as well in college. I don't know, I can't remember
- 20:15Speaker 16: which one. I just remember hearing one of the shows
- 20:17Speaker 16: talking about it. But that's about it, though. Just what
- 20:21Speaker 16: your opinions are on a wide umbrella on Turpin?
- 20:25Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Randy, good stuff, good questions too. You
- 20:29Speaker 4: know I said this. I think it was last show
- 20:31Speaker 4: maybe a couple of shows ago, about Turpin. And you know,
- 20:36Speaker 4: his stats, stats are what they are, They can be misleading,
- 20:41Speaker 4: and I think Turpin's if you look at him. Yes,
- 20:43Speaker 4: he set the Cowboys single season record for yards all purpose.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Nobody has ever had that many yards in one season
- 20:51Speaker 4: in combined kick return, punt return, rushing, receiving all of it.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Most of it was kick returns, and most of it
- 20:59Speaker 4: was because the Cowboys defense was terrible and they gave
- 21:02Speaker 4: up a lot of points, and then when you give
- 21:04Speaker 4: up points, you kick off, and when you kick off,
- 21:05Speaker 4: you hear's the guy returning the ball again. But it
- 21:09Speaker 4: wasn't really that flashy, and there wasn't a lot of
- 21:12Speaker 4: big plays, especially as a punt returner. Now, the punt
- 21:15Speaker 4: return part, there wasn't any punt returns because their defense
- 21:18Speaker 4: wasn't getting any stops. I think that if you can
- 21:22Speaker 4: get that cleaned up, get the defense off the field
- 21:25Speaker 4: a little bit more, give you know, more room to punt.
- 21:29Speaker 4: So now now when you're punting, as the punters punted,
- 21:32Speaker 4: you know, pinned back. Now Turpet's got a little bit
- 21:35Speaker 4: more space and and I think that's certainly what he needs.
- 21:38Speaker 4: As for the receiver part, you know, I think he's
- 21:41Speaker 4: going to be your fourth receiver every time, every every game.
- 21:45Speaker 4: I think that's what he is. I don't think he
- 21:47Speaker 4: needs to be more than that. Maybe you can put
- 21:50Speaker 4: him in there as a number three if needed, if
- 21:54Speaker 4: there was an injury. But his speed on the field
- 21:57Speaker 4: is valuable, even if he's not getting the ball. They know,
- 22:01Speaker 4: teams know and what Turpin can do and how fast
- 22:04Speaker 4: he is, and just having that threat out there taking
- 22:08Speaker 4: him deep, moving that safety down there. You know, I
- 22:10Speaker 4: think look at the touchdown that they had against Washington
- 22:14Speaker 4: at the end of the season last year on Christmas.
- 22:17Speaker 4: You know, pinned back and I mean just just right
- 22:20Speaker 4: down the middle of the field, and that was a
- 22:22Speaker 4: product of these other guys that were out there CD pickings.
- 22:26Speaker 4: You just can't cover everyone, and that right there, you
- 22:29Speaker 4: have your fastest player just streaking down the middle of
- 22:32Speaker 4: the field. That is a product of a running game
- 22:35Speaker 4: that's good, a tight end that's very effective, receivers that
- 22:39Speaker 4: are dynamic, and then here comes Turpin with that speed.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I wouldn't take him off the field. I don't think
- 22:45Speaker 4: he has to focus on it all the time. And
- 22:46Speaker 4: then I'll answer the question too. I think the special
- 22:48Speaker 4: teams wasn't that good. I didn't think they blocked very
- 22:51Speaker 4: well on all these returns. On kickoff return I don't
- 22:54Speaker 4: think they really blocked well. They need to improve there.
- 22:57Speaker 4: So I think, like you said, it was a lot
- 22:59Speaker 4: of lot going on with that question. But there's a
- 23:02Speaker 4: lot of answers and a lot of reasons. I think
- 23:04Speaker 4: he's a very valuable weapon that I think the Cowboys
- 23:07Speaker 4: can can can utilize to their advantage. All right, let's
- 23:10Speaker 4: go to break here on Cowboys storyline for the first time.

- 24:38Speaker 4: slash NFL. All right back here on Cowboys storyline at
- 24:43Speaker 4: four collars. So far we're talking about the schedule that's
- 24:46Speaker 4: coming out on Thursday. You know what to what to
- 24:51Speaker 4: look for. Their NFL has done a a good job
- 24:54Speaker 4: of dragging this thing out and making the NFL a
- 24:59Speaker 4: note where the storyline, if you will, just about every
- 25:03Speaker 4: day even in the in the offseason. So I got
- 25:07Speaker 4: to give them credit for that. Do I miss the
- 25:10Speaker 4: days where they you know, it would be one day
- 25:12Speaker 4: and to be like here's the schedule and you're like, okay, cool,
- 25:14Speaker 4: and you put it out. But I've never been on
- 25:19Speaker 4: the same level as others when it just have how
- 25:22Speaker 4: crazy it is, because believe me, around here, I mean,
- 25:24Speaker 4: they'll have the schedule and they'll have it in lockdown
- 25:27Speaker 4: and they don't show anyone. You ask them, oh, let
- 25:29Speaker 4: me see it, and they're like no, let me. You know,
- 25:32Speaker 4: hold up, you know I need to I need just
- 25:34Speaker 4: your driver's license first. I mean, it's just stuff like that.
- 25:36Speaker 4: It's just kind of crazy, especially when you know these
- 25:38Speaker 4: games aren't aren't happening for a while. But it's a
- 25:41Speaker 4: big deal and I know the fans, you guys care
- 25:43Speaker 4: about it and want to see and plan trips and
- 25:46Speaker 4: vacations and things like that around it. So oh, it's
- 25:49Speaker 4: certainly significant, and you know, you want to be able
- 25:53Speaker 4: to see just kind of how things line up. But
- 25:57Speaker 4: one thing that I try not to do is to
- 26:00Speaker 4: look at it and say, all right, that's a win.
- 26:04Speaker 4: That's a win. Oh two and oh okay two and one. No,
- 26:08Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not doing all that just because you know,
- 26:10Speaker 4: if you look at at the how things turn out,
- 26:13Speaker 4: there's always two or three teams that don't. I mean,
- 26:16Speaker 4: what if you were doing it last year and you
- 26:18Speaker 4: were like, all right, we'll start off at the Chiefs
- 26:21Speaker 4: and the you know, the Bears at home. You know,
- 26:24Speaker 4: you're you're like, okay, that's a win. That's gonna be
- 26:26Speaker 4: a win. Chiefs all lost and and those those are
- 26:30Speaker 4: just two teams that that I know that had seasons
- 26:33Speaker 4: that were a little bit different than what people thought
- 26:35Speaker 4: or early on. So so you never really can't tell
- 26:39Speaker 4: from from that. Also, tomorrow is not just the schedule release,
- 26:43Speaker 4: also the home run derby sponsored by Reliance. About ten
- 26:49Speaker 4: veterans or so from the Cowboys Dock included will be
- 26:52Speaker 4: over in Frisco, just down the street here and taking
- 26:56Speaker 4: taking some swings for for charity. And it's always a
- 27:00Speaker 4: for good good cause and its sponsored by Reliant, And
- 27:05Speaker 4: we'll see if we can see some home runs. But
- 27:06Speaker 4: more than anything, they'll they'll talk to the media for
- 27:10Speaker 4: the first time and get Dax's thoughts on some things
- 27:12Speaker 4: and some other veterans as well. I don't think mister
- 27:15Speaker 4: Pickens will be out there. He hasn't been at some
- 27:18Speaker 4: of these earlier practices, But who knows. Maybe he's he's
- 27:21Speaker 4: a baseball player and he's going to go out there,
- 27:23Speaker 4: but I'm not expecting him, all right, Jr. And Avindale
- 27:27Speaker 4: Arizona Jr.
- 27:29Speaker 13: So, Hey, good morning, Nick, How you doing good? How
- 27:32Speaker 13: are you hanging in there? Hanging in there? All is
- 27:35Speaker 13: good out here. So the schedule. The NFL does new
- 27:39Speaker 13: to Dallas Cowboys any favors on the schedule. To me,
- 27:43Speaker 13: it's all about where they can get the most viewers.
- 27:46Speaker 13: And I mean you brought up a point to turn
- 27:49Speaker 13: of safety about for these guys and how many injuries.
- 27:53Speaker 13: I don't know if anybody tracks that, what kind of
- 27:55Speaker 13: injuries and how many injuries are having after these, you know,
- 27:58Speaker 13: three games in eleven days. Seems pretty abusive, and I
- 28:02Speaker 13: wish they would do something about it, but I don't
- 28:05Speaker 13: think they will. I think it's probably gonna stay the
- 28:08Speaker 13: same as it has been because it's about how many
- 28:11Speaker 13: viewers are watching. But I'm looking forward to to the
- 28:16Speaker 13: season that's coming up. So answer yeah, man who asked
- 28:22Speaker 13: about adding the player I had a defensive tackle. I mean,
- 28:27Speaker 13: we're excited about these guys we got, but what if
- 28:30Speaker 13: one of them gets hurt? And about depth and how
- 28:34Speaker 13: valuable would it be to add Bobby Wagner. He's going
- 28:38Speaker 13: to cost eight million of years just to teach these
- 28:41Speaker 13: guys how to get ready to play and and.
- 28:44Speaker 18: Just his experience.
- 28:45Speaker 13: So anyway, that's all I got, and have a great
- 28:49Speaker 13: day and go Cowboys, all.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Right, all right, appreciate it, Jay, are you know, defensive
- 28:55Speaker 4: tackle to me is the deepest position on the team.
- 28:59Speaker 4: So I don't, I don't know if I agree there.
- 29:02Speaker 4: I mean, what you can play the what if a
- 29:04Speaker 4: guy gets hurt game at any spot, you know, and
- 29:07Speaker 4: that's the case, then you might need another receiver, quarterback
- 29:11Speaker 4: at that you know, running back I think is probably
- 29:14Speaker 4: one where seems like a pretty big drop off from
- 29:18Speaker 4: one spot to the next. But that then again, you know,
- 29:23Speaker 4: Malik Davis is always going to get overlooked and I
- 29:26Speaker 4: don't know why. I really don't know why. But but
- 29:29Speaker 4: you know, he's he was pretty solid. He was pretty
- 29:32Speaker 4: solid last year, especially for the role that he had.
- 29:35Speaker 4: I think he provides a pretty good balance of of
- 29:41Speaker 4: He's not a power back, He's not Gavonte Williams, but
- 29:43Speaker 4: but he but he runs hard and he runs with
- 29:46Speaker 4: power and then he's got some speed to him and
- 29:49Speaker 4: he can he can break it. So I think I
- 29:52Speaker 4: think the light bulb that it just has turned on
- 29:55Speaker 4: for him, and I think he's become a pretty uh
- 29:59Speaker 4: a solid pro, especially as a backup. So I'm just
- 30:02Speaker 4: I'm talking about other positions. Now back to defensive tackle.
- 30:08Speaker 4: I don't don't underestimate the free agents that they added
- 30:11Speaker 4: in the offseason. You know, u O, Tito Obana. I
- 30:16Speaker 4: think it's Jonathan Bullard. He's a veteran, it's been in
- 30:19Speaker 4: the league for a while, big, big body guys that
- 30:23Speaker 4: are gonna be playing there. And those are that's behind
- 30:25Speaker 4: your starters of Quentin Williams and Kinney Clark. And then
- 30:28Speaker 4: you've got l t Overton, who I still believe is
- 30:31Speaker 4: going to be a good a good draft pick. I
- 30:33Speaker 4: think he's going to be someone that that that surprises
- 30:36Speaker 4: some people. You know, he he had, he had talent.
- 30:40Speaker 4: He was on early early mock draft boards of a
- 30:43Speaker 4: first round pick. So but you know, it didn't it
- 30:46Speaker 4: didn't pan out for him in that regard. But I
- 30:48Speaker 4: still think the Cowboys have a good role for him
- 30:51Speaker 4: as an undersized tackle, as a speed rusher on some
- 30:54Speaker 4: on third downs. And you know that this could be
- 30:58Speaker 4: a really good good pick up as well. So that's
- 31:00Speaker 4: a position that you know, you said you wouldn't mind
- 31:02Speaker 4: someone there, and maybe you meant linebacker because you did
- 31:07Speaker 4: say Bobby Wagner there, But but defensive tackle I think
- 31:11Speaker 4: is pretty strong. Maybe maybe another linebacker if they feel
- 31:14Speaker 4: like they need that. All right, let's go to Irene
- 31:16Speaker 4: in Falls Church, Virginia. Irene.
- 31:19Speaker 19: Hey, good morning, how you guys doing over there?
- 31:21Speaker 4: Good? How are you doing good?
- 31:23Speaker 16: Good?
- 31:24Speaker 19: I don't know if you can hear it, but there's
- 31:26Speaker 19: some ox arch style, uh, you know, weed whacking in
- 31:30Speaker 19: the background. So getting prepped for that, I guess.
- 31:34Speaker 4: I do not I do not hear that, and I
- 31:36Speaker 4: do not miss that. But hey, it's that's a part
- 31:41Speaker 4: of it, you know what I mean, It's one of
- 31:42Speaker 4: those things like that's first world problems. Let's do it
- 31:46Speaker 4: because you know, let's let's get out there and and
- 31:48Speaker 4: and deal with the seventy two degree weather or something
- 31:53Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, yeah, Chris, probably trying to be funny.
- 32:06Speaker 4: You know what's funny about that is that that sounds
- 32:09Speaker 4: like an app I have on my phone of a
- 32:10Speaker 4: sleep fan. If I'm at a hotel and it's too quiet,
- 32:14Speaker 4: then I got to have something like that. I can't
- 32:16Speaker 4: have it like just just quiet like that. So yeah,
- 32:19Speaker 4: I sleep with that. So but radio show radio shows, No,
- 32:23Speaker 4: I don't know, and it doesn't sound like that either,
- 32:25Speaker 4: like that that doesn't say it doesn't sound like that
- 32:27Speaker 4: in my ears for sure. All right, what do you
- 32:30Speaker 4: got has.
- 32:32Speaker 19: Anyone green dot? I have to say that is the
- 32:35Speaker 19: best nickname. I appreciate that collab with with Brian and
- 32:39Speaker 19: you those cool.
- 32:40Speaker 4: That's a good one. That is a really good one
- 32:42Speaker 4: by Brian. It's one of those like if you know,
- 32:44Speaker 4: you know type things. So yeah, I like it.
- 32:49Speaker 7: Yep.
- 32:50Speaker 17: So was j R.
- 32:51Speaker 19: The one who asked the question about adding a player
- 32:54Speaker 19: or was that just something that's because I haven't been able.
- 32:56Speaker 4: To Brian and other people have jumped in, So what
- 33:02Speaker 4: do you what do you think?
- 33:04Speaker 16: Gotcha?
- 33:06Speaker 12: So?
- 33:07Speaker 19: Yeah, that makes sense because he and I were texting
- 33:08Speaker 19: about that the other day and I actually like his
- 33:11Speaker 19: answer more than my answer because I was thinking about
- 33:14Speaker 19: the running back and I just heard what you said
- 33:16Speaker 19: about Malik and that's a valid point. But it's probably
- 33:19Speaker 19: tackle the offensive tackle, right. Yeah, I guess we'll see
- 33:23Speaker 19: what happens. Go, you know, see if Giton makes not
- 33:27Speaker 19: only makes a jumps, because I feel like he was
- 33:29Speaker 19: making that jump, but he has this injury issue, which
- 33:32Speaker 19: honestly might just be because he's so dang tall and
- 33:36Speaker 19: not as bendy, right, and I think that presents problems.
- 33:39Speaker 19: So I mean, I will wish him well but if
- 33:42Speaker 19: Shelton comes in, that'd be great. But I know, I mean,
- 33:45Speaker 19: he's a fourth rounder who was great and probably lower
- 33:48Speaker 19: than that on most boards, but hopefully we have the
- 33:50Speaker 19: right angle on that.
- 33:52Speaker 2: He didn't.
- 33:52Speaker 19: I don't get him because he gave up no sacks
- 33:55Speaker 19: in the last year, I think, and I don't understand
- 33:58Speaker 19: how he's not great well, but I guess, yeah, I
- 34:01Speaker 19: guess it's just consistency issue for him.
- 34:04Speaker 20: So we'll see.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Uh the other thing, anyone measurables for him? Uh you
- 34:10Speaker 4: know that there's you're talking about Shelton, right, Drew Shelton. Shelton, Yeah, Yeah,
- 34:16Speaker 4: there's there's at that position. You know, there's a proto
- 34:20Speaker 4: type and and when you're a little bit off from that,
- 34:24Speaker 4: it seems like people will draft proto type more than
- 34:27Speaker 4: they draft ability. Look at geting for for any you know, example,
- 34:31Speaker 4: he has all the measurables. He just didn't play as
- 34:34Speaker 4: much and and he hasn't put it together on film.
- 34:38Speaker 4: His film wasn't really that that great, but he looked
- 34:40Speaker 4: at the measurables. Shelton, I might be the opposite there.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Not as tall as as you would want, arms aren't
- 34:46Speaker 4: as long, but his production is there. Uh. He reminds
- 34:50Speaker 4: me a little bit of Cooper BB in that regard,
- 34:53Speaker 4: because Cooper BB was just putting people in the ground
- 34:56Speaker 4: in every highlight you saw. You're like, well, why why
- 34:58Speaker 4: does he go to the third round? What it makes
- 35:00Speaker 4: him different than Barton from I think Duke that that
- 35:04Speaker 4: was a first round guy and it was just a length.
- 35:06Speaker 4: It was arm length and things like that. So you know,
- 35:09Speaker 4: if it's a big deal, we'll find out and those
- 35:12Speaker 4: are things you can overcome. But to me, I kind
- 35:15Speaker 4: of I think I'm with you. I like the production.
- 35:18Speaker 4: I like I like a guy that's done it and
- 35:20Speaker 4: he's figured out a way to be successful, and I
- 35:24Speaker 4: think you can. You can get through arm length and
- 35:26Speaker 4: stuff like that. Like the Bane that was never a
- 35:29Speaker 4: problem for me. If he was there and available take him,
- 35:32Speaker 4: you know, I would have taken him. If downs was
- 35:34Speaker 4: picked early, I would have taken Bain right there at twelve.
- 35:37Speaker 4: But yeah, you didn't have to.
- 35:40Speaker 19: So with Shelton, I feel like, Okay, then the floor
- 35:43Speaker 19: could be a swing tackle, right Like that sounds like
- 35:45Speaker 19: a guy who could be a swing tackle at the worst.
- 35:48Speaker 19: So I mean, we'll see. We know how this happens.
- 35:50Speaker 19: But I do genuine give you props for getting the
- 35:53Speaker 19: Ravens as a pick for Week three in Brazil.
- 35:56Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I say this. I don't think anyone did.
- 36:00Speaker 4: But I felt like it was pretty easy because I
- 36:03Speaker 4: knew that that the NFL, they they wanted to get
- 36:07Speaker 4: into this market, and they they wanted to showcase it
- 36:10Speaker 4: with the with some marquee talent. And you can't get
- 36:13Speaker 4: better than Dak versus Lamar. I mean that that really
- 36:16Speaker 4: that just kind of sold itself. So when you knew
- 36:18Speaker 4: the Ravens were one of the teams, it was gonna
- 36:20Speaker 4: be Baker, you know, Tampa Bay versus that versus Cowboys,
- 36:24Speaker 4: but Baltimore makes you know, just made a lot of sense,
- 36:27Speaker 4: you know, I thought so, But we too. That one's interesting.
- 36:32Speaker 4: I mean, like.
- 36:35Speaker 7: I don't even know.
- 36:35Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, I don't know either, but
- 36:37Speaker 4: I'm guessing this is a straight up guess. I that
- 36:42Speaker 4: one smells like the Titans at Home to me, Titans at.
- 36:47Speaker 19: Home, maybe Jags or something so kind of similar vibes.
- 36:50Speaker 19: I think you over there, I.
- 36:52Speaker 4: Think I think if we said Jaguars, Titans, Cardinals, I
- 36:58Speaker 4: think we'd hit it. I mean as I don't know
- 37:01Speaker 4: if they'll do another I mean maybe back to back,
- 37:06Speaker 4: back to back games against the division. It won't be Philly,
- 37:09Speaker 4: so it would it be Washington. Like that makes sense.
- 37:11Speaker 4: It seems too early for San Francisco.
- 37:13Speaker 10: At home, Tampa at home.
- 37:16Speaker 4: It just feels like it would be Tennessee to me, Tennessee.
- 37:20Speaker 13: Or or Arizona.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Yeah, so see that makes sense.
- 37:24Speaker 19: So my one question for the Brazil game, because I
- 37:27Speaker 19: realized this, you don't the nifold doesn't have week four
- 37:30Speaker 19: by because I was all upset that we were going
- 37:32Speaker 19: to get a Week four bye. But does that mean
- 37:35Speaker 19: we're gonna maybe have a home game before and after?
- 37:38Speaker 21: Because how are.
- 37:39Speaker 19: They going to go all the way to Brazil and
- 37:40Speaker 19: then not be you know, not have that buy normally
- 37:45Speaker 19: you get.
- 37:45Speaker 16: I think they're going to be at home.
- 37:46Speaker 4: I really don't. I don't. I don't think the stadium
- 37:49Speaker 4: is available, so I don't think we would be at home.
- 37:52Speaker 4: But but again, the shortest road trip possible is where
- 37:59Speaker 4: the Cowboys are going to be, and it's not going
- 38:01Speaker 4: to be that bad, so uh, very very short flight.
- 38:07Speaker 4: I think it'll be a Sunday or Monday night game.
- 38:08Speaker 4: And I don't. I don't think it will be that
- 38:10Speaker 4: much of an issue. It's gonna be a tough game.
- 38:12Speaker 4: Tough game, but but not a tough flight. So I
- 38:16Speaker 4: and Irene, I'm gonna I might need you to kind
- 38:20Speaker 4: of to kind of help with some people here. One
- 38:23Speaker 4: of the things that we do need for all storyline
- 38:25Speaker 4: and part of your duties as the Green Dot, you
- 38:27Speaker 4: got to get these people lined up. We still need
- 38:30Speaker 4: some short sizes we need to addresses if it's changed.
- 38:34Speaker 4: So I don't know, maybe Chris can can help you
- 38:37Speaker 4: with with who we need to kind of nudge forward
- 38:40Speaker 4: a little bit because we're I.
- 38:42Speaker 19: Did help a little last week, but there's still some
- 38:44Speaker 19: out there. So precisely but all right, I'll.
- 38:48Speaker 4: Say this people in the office, people, thanks for the
- 38:51Speaker 4: call I read, But people in the office will they
- 38:54Speaker 4: they don't want me to do this because anything that's
- 38:57Speaker 4: left over then sometimes I hand it out to oh,
- 39:01Speaker 4: you want to what a size?
- 39:01Speaker 6: Are you?
- 39:02Speaker 4: Okay? Good? Because I've I had to do that with
- 39:03Speaker 4: the shirts last time. I feel like this this year,
- 39:08Speaker 4: if there's any left over, there's gonna be people that
- 39:10Speaker 4: want them. I think it's a it's a it's a
- 39:11Speaker 4: good look at shir To, haven't I haven't seen it yet.
- 39:14Speaker 4: I've seen it on the picture, I haven't actually had
- 39:17Speaker 4: it yet. I would imagine that could be this week
- 39:19Speaker 4: though we could, we could get our hands on that.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Maybe next week's show, I'll be able to kind of
- 39:24Speaker 4: show it and that might entice people will go, oh,
- 39:26Speaker 4: I got to get in there for that. All right,
- 39:27Speaker 4: let's go to Sam in North Carolina. Sam, what's up?
- 39:32Speaker 18: How are you?
- 39:33Speaker 7: Nick?
- 39:33Speaker 18: Good?
- 39:33Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 39:35Speaker 22: I can't complain, man, I'm about to go play around
- 39:37Speaker 22: the golf, so you know day's gonna be relaxing there.
- 39:40Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yes, sir?
- 39:43Speaker 7: How do you?
- 39:44Speaker 4: How do you shoot it? I mean, are you are
- 39:46Speaker 4: you what a seventies and eighties? Are you? You know,
- 39:49Speaker 4: just trying to break a hundred?
- 39:50Speaker 7: What I'm about one hundred and fifty?
- 39:53Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty?
- 39:54Speaker 6: All right?
- 39:55Speaker 22: Yeah, I'm not non at it?
- 39:57Speaker 6: All right?
- 39:57Speaker 4: Well that's okay. I mean, who's ca who's counting? I mean,
- 40:01Speaker 4: are you talking about crooks or beers at that point?
- 40:04Speaker 4: Because I mean, at that point you gotta just crack
- 40:06Speaker 4: it off. And I would think, but.
- 40:09Speaker 22: Well, I don't really drink, so I can't blame it
- 40:13Speaker 22: on that.
- 40:13Speaker 4: No, maybe maybe should start now, I'm just kidding Gonflin
- 40:18Speaker 4: that can lead to that. Now, all right, Sam, is
- 40:21Speaker 4: this just your first time calling?
- 40:23Speaker 22: That's right, yes, sir?
- 40:27Speaker 4: All right, well here we go, Sam, What do you
- 40:29Speaker 4: got for us?
- 40:31Speaker 21: Well?
- 40:32Speaker 22: I was calling to bring up actually a decent point.
- 40:35Speaker 22: I think about our off season. I forget the guy
- 40:38Speaker 22: who's name that called in a few minutes ago talking
- 40:40Speaker 22: about the Caleb Downs number of switch from eighteen to thirteen,
- 40:44Speaker 22: you know, and I agree with everybody that he does
- 40:46Speaker 22: need to But I feel like that's our biggest off
- 40:48Speaker 22: season drama at the moment.
- 40:51Speaker 4: The number.
- 40:53Speaker 22: Yeah, it's the whole number switch thing. I mean, it's
- 40:55Speaker 22: just that's a pretty light thing considering how dramatic the
- 40:58Speaker 22: other off seasons have been the last few years here.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, hey, well we'll take you that. That's the
- 41:03Speaker 4: worst problems we got. That's great, right, right.
- 41:07Speaker 22: I feel like probably Durant will give that number up,
- 41:11Speaker 22: you know. I mean, you know, he might get fourteen
- 41:13Speaker 22: if you know, if Belle gives it up or whatever.
- 41:15Speaker 22: But I feel like Downs will get his number. I'm
- 41:18Speaker 22: excited to see Downs, and I'm really I'm just excited to.
- 41:21Speaker 12: See the whole defense.
- 41:22Speaker 22: I'm you know, I feel like they're they're gonna stop
- 41:25Speaker 22: the run really well. I feel like they've made a
- 41:27Speaker 22: lot of strides to work towards that.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I mean they they definitely have made
- 41:32Speaker 4: a lot of strides. We'll see if those players, you know,
- 41:35Speaker 4: pan out and and Christian Parker's defense and it all
- 41:38Speaker 4: kind of messes together like they think it's going to.
- 41:41Speaker 4: But yeah, they they've definitely added a lot of pieces
- 41:44Speaker 4: to the puzzle here and then try to try to
- 41:46Speaker 4: fix this. But you're right, it is a little different
- 41:49Speaker 4: when when you don't have as much contract and and
- 41:52Speaker 4: and the Cowboys kind of nipped it in the butt.
- 41:54Speaker 4: I mean they they've kind of said we're not negotiating
- 41:57Speaker 4: so on pickings, Like like if they wouldn't have said that,
- 42:00Speaker 4: we would have still said, well, they got to get
- 42:02Speaker 4: pickings done, but they're not doing it. They're not going
- 42:05Speaker 4: to renegotiate right now. So it kind of it is
- 42:09Speaker 4: what it is, and they can tag him again next
- 42:11Speaker 4: year and then maybe they maybe at that point they
- 42:14Speaker 4: can negotiate something if that's what they want to do.
- 42:16Speaker 4: But you know, I kind of give the Cowboys props
- 42:20Speaker 4: on that part of just saying we're not doing it.
- 42:22Speaker 4: So maybe that was a ploy for them to come
- 42:25Speaker 4: back and say, all right, well what if we did
- 42:27Speaker 4: this and then that Who knows that, maybe they sign it,
- 42:30Speaker 4: but you know, I don't think they're They're too worried
- 42:33Speaker 4: about it right now.
- 42:34Speaker 22: No, I'll leave you with this right here. But uh,
- 42:39Speaker 22: I personally and I love Pickings to death. Man, that's
- 42:43Speaker 22: a that is a uh firepower duo with CD and Pickings.
- 42:48Speaker 22: But having we've seen with the Cincinnati Bengals, how having
- 42:51Speaker 22: two wide receivers sied up with that much money, it
- 42:54Speaker 22: hurts you overall, you know, I just but I would
- 42:57Speaker 22: love to keep him if we could.
- 42:58Speaker 4: You know, No, you're you're right. I mean, if you
- 43:01Speaker 4: look at the teams that are doing it, Philadelphia's got
- 43:04Speaker 4: two that make North the twenty five million, and Cincinnati's
- 43:09Speaker 4: got two. I think Higgins makes more than that, maybe
- 43:13Speaker 4: up in the twenty eight range. I'm not one hundred
- 43:14Speaker 4: percent sure. But and and it's not really working that
- 43:20Speaker 4: that well for you know, either, heam now, Philly has
- 43:22Speaker 4: been good, but they've got cap issues now. And I'm
- 43:26Speaker 4: not even sure if Brown's still there or gonna still
- 43:30Speaker 4: be there. So yeah, it's it's not easy, especially when
- 43:34Speaker 4: your quarterback makes more than anybody in the NFL like
- 43:37Speaker 4: the Cowboys do. So yeah, but but also you know,
- 43:41Speaker 4: if that's your strength, if that's if that's what you're
- 43:44Speaker 4: gonna lean into and say, hey we're gonna score thirty
- 43:47Speaker 4: five forty points a game, we just need a defense
- 43:50Speaker 4: that's solid. Then if that's the strategy, then you know that,
- 43:53Speaker 4: then then it would be worth it to have those
- 43:55Speaker 4: two receivers like that.
- 43:57Speaker 22: So yeah, you'd have to keep a lot of young
- 44:00Speaker 22: defensive guys in the draft and stuff like that.
- 44:03Speaker 4: You gotta hit on those for sure.
- 44:05Speaker 21: All Right, well I appreciate your time, man.
- 44:07Speaker 4: All right, thanks for calling. Hit him straight today when
- 44:09Speaker 4: you go out on the course. Uh and uh good
- 44:13Speaker 4: to have him, uh calling for the first time. Let's
- 44:16Speaker 4: go to was that Chris? Was that Meither? I thought
- 44:19Speaker 4: that was Beaver?
- 44:21Speaker 9: That was William William from I was.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Like, who is this? He sounds like one of our collers.
- 44:28Speaker 4: I couldn't think at first. I was like, is it
- 44:31Speaker 4: Chris from San Angelo, who to me always sounds sounds
- 44:35Speaker 4: like Michael from Bowling Green's who's on the line right now?
- 44:38Speaker 4: But more he kept talking. I was like, this is
- 44:40Speaker 4: this is William from Beaver West, Virginia. It's not. It's
- 44:43Speaker 4: Sam from North Carolina, who I might have maybe or
- 44:47Speaker 4: maybe not suggested you should start drinking. I was just kidding.
- 44:51Speaker 4: All right, let's go, Michael and Bowling Green. What's up?
- 44:55Speaker 5: Well, first song, Let's say that Sue's baby boy was
- 45:00Speaker 5: born and everybody's healthy.
- 45:02Speaker 4: Nice, nice, thanks for delivering that news. I did not
- 45:05Speaker 4: know that.
- 45:06Speaker 5: So yep, I just I just heard it. I think
- 45:10Speaker 5: I was on the line, was he not?
- 45:13Speaker 4: What's going on here? I mean, if let's go, I mean,
- 45:16Speaker 4: I'm a kidding joking for.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Sure, I think everything's looking great. But I'm just I
- 45:22Speaker 5: saw a rumor, you know how they are. I saw
- 45:25Speaker 5: it this morning that it was reported that d Hop
- 45:30Speaker 5: was looking at the cowboys or the cowboys were looking
- 45:34Speaker 5: at him. Have you heard anything about that?
- 45:36Speaker 4: I have not. I'm good on that.
- 45:41Speaker 5: Wouldn't want you wouldn't want him.
- 45:44Speaker 4: Would you like? Like, based off of the situation of
- 45:50Speaker 4: what it is right now, No, I don't necessarily think
- 45:54Speaker 4: that that's that's needed. Another wide receiver that's going to
- 45:58Speaker 4: come in here and not play specialty games. Where does
- 46:02Speaker 4: that go when your roster and all that. Now, somebody
- 46:04Speaker 4: gets hurt and for a few weeks and you need
- 46:07Speaker 4: a guy maybe And the thing you're talking about DeAndre Hopkins, right, yeah,
- 46:15Speaker 4: you know. I mean the thing about Hopkins, and I've
- 46:18Speaker 4: always said this, I give him a lot of respect
- 46:22Speaker 4: because that guy was was producing stats with quarterbacks that
- 46:27Speaker 4: aren't that good, and it didn't matter. They changed out
- 46:30Speaker 4: the quarterback and he still had big numbers. He went
- 46:34Speaker 4: to a different team, quarterback wasn't the best, he still
- 46:37Speaker 4: had really good numbers. So I give him credit for
- 46:39Speaker 4: going into different systems, different situations and doing well at
- 46:43Speaker 4: this point in his career. What the Cowboys need and
- 46:46Speaker 4: all that. I don't know if that's the best fit.
- 46:48Speaker 4: But somebody talked me out of that. If that don't,
- 46:52Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 46:52Speaker 5: I mean, I just I'd take it, Okay, I think
- 46:57Speaker 5: I'll tell you. I mean here, he was here in
- 46:58Speaker 5: Tennessee for a while. But uh yeah, I think I
- 47:03Speaker 5: could with it, if if, if the money was right.
- 47:06Speaker 5: But uh, hey, you're looking forward to going to Brazil.
- 47:09Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I am. I'm I'm definitely looking to you know,
- 47:13Speaker 4: see see what they got. I mean, like I've never
- 47:15Speaker 4: I've never been obviously never been to that many countries,
- 47:18Speaker 4: and the only countries I've gone to are the ones
- 47:20Speaker 4: that the Cowboys have played in, so, uh, you know,
- 47:23Speaker 4: it's kind of my form of sight seeing. So I'm sure,
- 47:27Speaker 4: you know, and it may not be the safest place,
- 47:30Speaker 4: but I mean, I I go around with Chris. I mean,
- 47:33Speaker 4: who's gonna mess with him?
- 47:34Speaker 5: So, uh, we're I heard on another show. I heard
- 47:39Speaker 5: on another show, y'all are just gonna fly in, like
- 47:42Speaker 5: play the game the next day and fly out. They
- 47:44Speaker 5: won't going to be much much hanging around. I don't
- 47:48Speaker 5: know if that's true. It was on one of the
- 47:50Speaker 5: other other podcasts.
- 47:52Speaker 4: But which one? Which which one is saying stuff like that?
- 47:55Speaker 4: I'm kidding, I think I don't. That's not that's not
- 47:58Speaker 4: accurate as far as in and fly out, But it's
- 48:01Speaker 4: also not going to be like what what it has
- 48:04Speaker 4: been in the past of like go for a whole week.
- 48:07Speaker 4: So I think there's a there's always a middle ground,
- 48:10Speaker 4: and I think in this case that's what it is.
- 48:12Speaker 4: I think, you know, Thursday or Friday, Uh, you typically
- 48:17Speaker 4: and how these things work, you fly at night, you
- 48:21Speaker 4: fly overnight, so you you basically you know, the idea
- 48:24Speaker 4: is to sleep overnight, wake up the next day. So
- 48:27Speaker 4: say you lift Thursday night, you'd get there Friday, kind
- 48:30Speaker 4: of get your legs under you do a little bit
- 48:31Speaker 4: of a walk through type stuff, maybe another walk through
- 48:35Speaker 4: on Saturday, and play the game on Sunday. So it's
- 48:37Speaker 4: not in and out. But it's also not you know,
- 48:39Speaker 4: sitting there and become a citizen of Brazil. Uh, you know,
- 48:42Speaker 4: until until you play, it's not it's not gonna be
- 48:44Speaker 4: like that.
- 48:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's what they said on Players Lounge.
- 48:49Speaker 5: Get there Thursday night or Thursday sometime a couple of days,
- 48:53Speaker 5: play the game and go back. But what I don't understand.
- 48:57Speaker 5: It's only two hours difference in time from from Dallas
- 49:02Speaker 5: or from Bowling Green and uh, but it's an eleven
- 49:05Speaker 5: hour flight that that's just crazy, I think.
- 49:09Speaker 4: I mean, it is crazy. It is crazy because when
- 49:12Speaker 4: you think about it, when you when when from Dallas
- 49:16Speaker 4: you always fly, it's like, all right, going to Seattle
- 49:20Speaker 4: that way, you know, four hours are going this way,
- 49:23Speaker 4: you know, to the Eastern time zone and all that.
- 49:27Speaker 4: But when you think about how the globe is and
- 49:30Speaker 4: how you know, like each like time zone. I mean,
- 49:34Speaker 4: it goes top to bottom. So that's basically what you're doing.
- 49:36Speaker 4: You're just going straight down like I mean, and and
- 49:39Speaker 4: maybe all off to the side a little bit. But
- 49:41Speaker 4: but it's it's more it's just south. I mean, it
- 49:44Speaker 4: is South America, So that's what it is. I mean,
- 49:48Speaker 4: if if you think about it from if you were
- 49:50Speaker 4: to just to go straight up and fly up from
- 49:53Speaker 4: from Dallas up to Minnesota, you know, it's it's not
- 49:58Speaker 4: that different on the map as far as what longitude
- 50:02Speaker 4: all that. I'm getting out of my element here, but
- 50:04Speaker 4: it's still two or three hours to go up there.
- 50:06Speaker 4: So think about just all the way down south uh
- 50:10Speaker 4: to to Brazil. Yeah, I was the same way. I
- 50:13Speaker 4: was just like, so what time is it there? And
- 50:16Speaker 4: it's only two hours difference. I was like, what that's like,
- 50:19Speaker 4: I mean.
- 50:19Speaker 5: That's like California.
- 50:21Speaker 4: Yeah. Right, It's just it's just gonna be on the
- 50:23Speaker 4: on the flip side. But it definitely is going to
- 50:25Speaker 4: be a nice little trek down there, so we'll see.
- 50:30Speaker 5: All right, man, all right, y'all have a good one
- 50:32Speaker 5: in Zoo.
- 50:33Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that. Now, We're gonna have training camp
- 50:36Speaker 4: and and and many camps and a lot of a
- 50:39Speaker 4: lot of things before then. It's not gonna just be
- 50:43Speaker 4: not just going to Brazil tomorrow, but it'll be a
- 50:45Speaker 4: lot happening between now and then. But uh, more than anything,
- 50:49Speaker 4: we'll see what the schedule looks like when it when
- 50:50Speaker 4: it gets revealed tomorrow. All right, let's keep it going here.
- 50:53Speaker 4: We got Robbie and Cocoa Beach, Florida. Robbie, it's up.
- 50:56Speaker 20: What's up there?
- 51:00Speaker 4: Know what it's We're good, We're good. How are you doing?
- 51:04Speaker 7: It?
- 51:04Speaker 13: Is amazing? Man.
- 51:06Speaker 6: I love living in Florida.
- 51:07Speaker 13: You know.
- 51:08Speaker 20: Most of the time we get a lot of rain too. Hey,
- 51:12Speaker 20: can I steal somebody else's question that I heard? I
- 51:16Speaker 20: mean it'd be Votch and Brian brought us who I
- 51:19Speaker 20: like a lot, and I'm sure you do too. That
- 51:21Speaker 20: they're working you guys, Yeah, asked The question really made
- 51:26Speaker 20: me think, and it made me think back to the
- 51:28Speaker 20: Jason Garrett era. Jason Garrett I thought was a great
- 51:31Speaker 20: talent evaluator, a great coach during the week, and then
- 51:35Speaker 20: on Sundays I think he lacked something. Brian asked, Votch
- 51:40Speaker 20: if Christian Parker will be a better Saturday through excuse me,
- 51:47Speaker 20: Monday through Saturday coach or a better Sunday coach, and
- 51:52Speaker 20: I'll take it off the air if you want to
- 51:53Speaker 20: answer that, because I'd like your opinion.
- 51:54Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean it's one of those things where
- 51:59Speaker 4: it's it's like a boxing match. You know that they
- 52:03Speaker 4: sit there and hype it up for months. You know,
- 52:06Speaker 4: you watch the twenty four to seven on HBO to
- 52:08Speaker 4: see who's gonna do it, But at some point you
- 52:11Speaker 4: gotta stand in the ring and fight, you know what
- 52:13Speaker 4: I mean. At some point we're gonna find out. That's
- 52:15Speaker 4: all I'm about to say about this with Christiah park
- 52:16Speaker 4: We're gonna find out. Like he seems very prepared, very
- 52:20Speaker 4: smart guy. He's gonna have him lined up, you know,
- 52:25Speaker 4: the right, I would hope, But what are they gonna
- 52:29Speaker 4: be good enough? Is this team gonna be good enough?
- 52:33Speaker 4: You know Jason Garrett had them prepared, but but you know,
- 52:38Speaker 4: but then you get to the games and it didn't
- 52:40Speaker 4: always always work out. So well, we'll see. I don't
- 52:46Speaker 4: have the best answer because we've all been fooled before
- 52:49Speaker 4: on these type of things. We about players that you
- 52:52Speaker 4: didn't think we're gonna be, you know, be that great.
- 52:55Speaker 4: And there's there's opposites of that. There's guys that are
- 52:58Speaker 4: very very prepared, they're just not enough to play. And
- 53:01Speaker 4: then there's a guy who I'm actually watching right now
- 53:03Speaker 4: on NFL Network that they're showing flipping to the end
- 53:06Speaker 4: zone for a touchdown. Dak Prescott. He's a gamer. His
- 53:10Speaker 4: practices as a rookie terrible in mini camp. I mean,
- 53:14Speaker 4: I don't even remember the guy's name. What was that
- 53:18Speaker 4: quarterback's name who they moved to safety back and forth?
- 53:22Speaker 4: He was he was better than Dak. That rookie year
- 53:25Speaker 4: was Showers. Jamille Showers is the name that I'm thinking
- 53:29Speaker 4: of that was also a quarterback. It was, Yeah, his
- 53:32Speaker 4: rookie year ended up moving him to safety. But just
- 53:35Speaker 4: going out there and rookie Minniicamp throwing the ball around
- 53:37Speaker 4: and all that, You're like, Okay, Showers throws the ball
- 53:40Speaker 4: way better than this Prescott guy. But don't. It's okay,
- 53:44Speaker 4: Dak's not gonna play anytime soon because you got Romo's
- 53:46Speaker 4: coming back, Kellen Morris the backup. They're not gonna get
- 53:49Speaker 4: hurt in the preseason or training camp. You know, so
- 53:52Speaker 4: Dak doesn't really have to play, but he did and
- 53:56Speaker 4: he played well, and that's how the story goes. But
- 53:59Speaker 4: I think Dak was just an ultimate gamer. So we'll
- 54:03Speaker 4: find out. Is Christian Parker, you know, as a coach,
- 54:06Speaker 4: is he gonna be a gamer? Is he gonna be
- 54:07Speaker 4: prepraising me?
- 54:08Speaker 17: Both?
- 54:08Speaker 4: How about? How about both? Both? Would be good? That
- 54:12Speaker 4: that'd be something a little bit different than we haven't seen.
- 54:14Speaker 4: But yeah, there's there's a lot of talk about him
- 54:17Speaker 4: and and he's getting you know, just like Caleb Downs.
- 54:19Speaker 4: Both those guys we talked about the last show that
- 54:21Speaker 4: they're getting thrown out there a lot. They're the anointing
- 54:25Speaker 4: oil is out there about Hey, these guys have been great.
- 54:28Speaker 4: They haven't done anything yet. We know that they know that,
- 54:31Speaker 4: you know, and they're not the ones doing it. We're
- 54:33Speaker 4: the ones doing it. So uh. But but we'll see.
- 54:36Speaker 4: But I'm anxious to see what this guy, Christian Parker,
- 54:41Speaker 4: what he brings to the defense. All right, let's go
- 54:43Speaker 4: to break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back

- 56:19Speaker 7: Hey?
- 56:20Speaker 5: You doing good?
- 56:21Speaker 20: How are you doing good?
- 56:23Speaker 23: You're just talking about anointing oil with Caleb Downs. Dude,
- 56:25Speaker 23: I've used several bottles. I've fully baptized him in anointing oil.
- 56:30Speaker 23: He's he's the chosen one. I think he's he's here. Yeah,
- 56:35Speaker 23: he's like our batman, right, He's our savior here. I
- 56:38Speaker 23: think he's going to just mean the world to this team.
- 56:40Speaker 23: I mean, even as a rookie, I think he's got
- 56:42Speaker 23: a chance to be a top five safety slash nickel
- 56:46Speaker 23: player you know in the league. He comes that prepared
- 56:48Speaker 23: just based on everything I've seen and heard. But I
- 56:50Speaker 23: don't think there's anything wrong with doing that and getting excited,
- 56:53Speaker 23: you know, No, no.
- 56:53Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with getting excited, Nothing wrong with it. And
- 56:57Speaker 4: I'm and this is the time to do that. And
- 56:59Speaker 4: I agree with you. I think he's going to be great.
- 57:01Speaker 4: I was so excited about it. I just you don't
- 57:04Speaker 4: like with anyone, all right, we got to do it,
- 57:07Speaker 4: you got to do you gotta see it. Yeah, so
- 57:08Speaker 4: we're ready for But I do I think it's going
- 57:10Speaker 4: to happen yet. Do I think Christian Parkner is gonna
- 57:12Speaker 4: be a good defensive coordinator? I do. I do I
- 57:15Speaker 4: think he I think he will be so. But you know,
- 57:19Speaker 4: I'm same same with last year with a shot Shody
- 57:22Speaker 4: and all the stuff we were seeing in the off season.
- 57:24Speaker 4: It's like, all right, now, let's get to camp, let's
- 57:26Speaker 4: let's let's do it. I'm in. I'm sold. I just
- 57:28Speaker 4: want to I just want to see it, you know.
- 57:30Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm I'm all the way in just on this team.
- 57:32Speaker 23: I feel like I'm a pretty realistic guy for the
- 57:34Speaker 23: most part. But yeah, I think this team's got something
- 57:38Speaker 23: really cooking moving forward, not just for the season but
- 57:41Speaker 23: the next handful of seasons.
- 57:42Speaker 12: But the week one, you know, with the.
- 57:44Speaker 23: Giants, I think that the League hooked Dallas up here
- 57:46Speaker 23: with with something nice because the Giants just have and
- 57:48Speaker 23: it's dangerous because there's a lot of question marks, but
- 57:51Speaker 23: the Giants are just like one big floating question Mark.
- 57:55Speaker 23: They got rid of their their you know, all pro
- 57:56Speaker 23: decensive tackles, So now what are they going to do
- 57:58Speaker 23: up front? You know, they signed I think it was
- 58:00Speaker 23: j Reider, So questions there, questions that linebacker, because you
- 58:03Speaker 23: got Arville Reeves, Abdul Carter, They're gonna be kind of
- 58:06Speaker 23: all on the field. But just you know, you don't
- 58:10Speaker 23: really know. But basically that team's in a big time
- 58:13Speaker 23: transition phase, much much bigger than Dallas offensively. Defensively, you
- 58:17Speaker 23: got Neighbors and Skataboo both went back from major injuries,
- 58:20Speaker 23: so they might not even be themselves that they even play.
- 58:23Speaker 23: And so I just think it's a really good Week
- 58:25Speaker 23: one for Dallas to uh, I don't want to say
- 58:28Speaker 23: get their toes, but because it's an important game to
- 58:30Speaker 23: go win. But I don't think it's like you have
- 58:32Speaker 23: to go play the Eagles or like the Ravens or
- 58:34Speaker 23: one of these teams on your schedule Week one. I
- 58:36Speaker 23: just think it's a good a good slide into the
- 58:40Speaker 23: season for Dallas.
- 58:40Speaker 21: And you know, students had.
- 58:41Speaker 23: A kid, and and DA's got some kids, and one
- 58:44Speaker 23: of his children is it's the New York Giants. I mean,
- 58:46Speaker 23: as long as Dak's in the game. I think that
- 58:48Speaker 23: the Cowboys always have a really good shot at beging
- 58:50Speaker 23: this team. So I think the Cowboys are in good shape. Obviously,
- 58:52Speaker 23: we got to get through camp preseason, see what the
- 58:55Speaker 23: injuries look like, if any any happen, knock on what
- 58:57Speaker 23: they don't. But you know, let's get throw that it
- 58:59Speaker 23: looks like. But as of right now and in the
- 59:01Speaker 23: middle of May, I'm super excited for that game. I
- 59:03Speaker 23: think the Cowboys should be a heavy favorite going into
- 59:06Speaker 23: that one.
- 59:06Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I agree. I mean I think
- 59:10Speaker 4: that the I have no problem with that game, you know,
- 59:12Speaker 4: and being put in week one and uh, and knowing
- 59:16Speaker 4: that the Metalwlands can be a tough place to play
- 59:19Speaker 4: weather wise, uh if it's later in the year and so, uh,
- 59:23Speaker 4: you know, just just a tough place to kick the
- 59:26Speaker 4: ball and throw it around and all that kind of stuff.
- 59:28Speaker 4: So it shouldn't be a problem, uh in that in
- 59:30Speaker 4: that first game. And then you know, and and like
- 59:33Speaker 4: you said, they should be favored, they should be favored
- 59:35Speaker 4: in the next game. I'm sorry, in the in the
- 59:39Speaker 4: Baltimore game, maybe, I mean.
- 59:40Speaker 12: You know what the next game is.
- 59:41Speaker 4: No, No, I was saying the next one that we
- 59:43Speaker 4: know is Baltimore. But but I you know, when I
- 59:46Speaker 4: read called in, I mean I I was throwing out predictions.
- 59:49Speaker 4: I mean, I think I know it's what. But there's
- 59:53Speaker 4: there's nine home opponents, right, and we already know two
- 59:56Speaker 4: of them, so there's there's seven left. I think I
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: think it's very safe to say I'm going with Titans, Cardinals,
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: or Jags. But I think, yeah, I think week two,
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: Week two Titans, that's just what. And again I do
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: not know. I do not know at all on that one.
- 1:00:18Speaker 23: I said Titans are Jags. That was my guess. I
- 1:00:19Speaker 23: don't think they're gonna have Dallas go up against the
- 1:00:21Speaker 23: nfcd's rival, a really tough opponent in Week two, and
- 1:00:24Speaker 23: then go to Brazil against a really tough opponent with
- 1:00:26Speaker 23: the Ravens. I think it's gonna be kind of a
- 1:00:28Speaker 23: palette cleanser almost in week two to prep for Week three.
- 1:00:31Speaker 23: So I was my guess was Titans or Jags. But
- 1:00:33Speaker 23: I guess we'll see.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: I mean the Jags. I mean that that could be
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: a tough game for sure. I mean that's true. Well
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: they all they all could be at that point. I
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: mean Cardinals, I mean, some weird's gonna happen if.
- 1:00:44Speaker 23: Well, assuming you've got a good enough team, right, not
- 1:00:46Speaker 23: like a trash team again this year, not to call
- 1:00:48Speaker 23: anybody trash, but yeah here or anything could happen.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do, I do think that it would.
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: You know, it'll be a home game, and and I
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: think it'll be some you know, probably one of those
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: AFC teams or or the Cardinals. That's my that's my guess.
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: And then then after that, you know, I can pretty much,
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: you know, that's the only one I'm missing, I think
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: out of the top four games here obviously, then you
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: get the Ravens, and like I keep alluding to, I'm
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: pretty sure they're going to go on the road for
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: another AFC game in Week four, but it won't be
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: a long trip for them, so I you know, you
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: have a chance to you know. But but again, if
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: that Week two is Jacksonville, you know, I mean, you
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: know what, I'm changing that now, I'm actually changing that
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: that I'm not. I'm not I don't like Jacksonville or
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: or the Titans. I'm gonna go with the Cardinals. And
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: the reason why is I don't know if they would
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: do this or care to do this. But are they
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: gonna make the Cowboys play three AFC teams in a row?
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: Like like you know, you start off, then you go AFC.
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: If it's Week two against like like we were saying
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: Titans or Jags, then you get the Ravens. I think
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: weak forth Houston. I'm just gonna say it, so we too,
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: I'm changing to the Cardinals. That's my that's my pick
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: is Cardinals Week two at home.
- 1:02:05Speaker 23: But all right, you convinced me I didn't. I didn't
- 1:02:07Speaker 23: think about week four. That's a good that's a really
- 1:02:09Speaker 23: good point. Yeah, that's a very good point.
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: If you can't play at home, you know, it might
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: as well as well try to a forty five minute
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: flight down down to Houston. Maybe it's a Monday or
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: Sunday night game, which would be fine. So you know,
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: Monday night game would be great because you get your
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: day back, you know, from whichever you lose in the
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: for the Brazil game, and then on the flip side
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: of that, I'm sure you'd be home for the next week.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: You know. It's it's not gonna be that bad to
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: get back from the Monday night game, you know, on
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: that flight. So well, we'll see Monday or Sunday night,
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: hopefully in Houston.
- 1:02:44Speaker 23: That's just what I'm I'm here, I'm here, and they
- 1:02:46Speaker 23: might have an early bye week two, which is weird.
- 1:02:49Speaker 23: It kind of sucks because they have that Thanksgiving Day stretch.
- 1:02:51Speaker 23: Any any little break they can get man along the
- 1:02:53Speaker 23: way they got you because they.
- 1:02:54Speaker 12: Kind of screw every year.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: It's week five, you know what I mean, maybe maybe.
- 1:02:58Speaker 18: That's gonna suck.
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: Oh what it? I mean, like like you can say
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: that now, but but here you are in week three
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: going to Brazil and back. Then the next week you
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: got to go to Houston and back and say, it's
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: a Monday night. Would that be the worst week to
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: to to come to come in and right then week
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: five and have it?
- 1:03:17Speaker 23: I mean no, But then you've got that stretches later
- 1:03:20Speaker 23: in the year that kills them every year, you know,
- 1:03:22Speaker 23: And I just don't know the closer you get to
- 1:03:24Speaker 23: that stretch and get a rest, you know. But you're
- 1:03:27Speaker 23: right too, they're kind of screwed on the end of
- 1:03:29Speaker 23: the spectrum here. As far as the schedule goes.
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: This year, it'll be it'll be fine. It'll work and
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: stuff out. If they're good enough talent wise, they'll they'll
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: overcome it, all right, there you go, all right, all right,
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: many thanks doing. Wise man once said, you know what,
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: we got to be ready to play in the home
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: away in the parking lot or the moon. Right was
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: it that said that? I guess Garrett. Uh, let's go
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: to Cowboy Nico in Colorado Springs. It's been holding a
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: little bit. What's up man?
- 1:03:59Speaker 7: Hey?
- 1:03:59Speaker 21: What's Nick?
- 1:04:00Speaker 14: How's it going?
- 1:04:01Speaker 7: Guys?
- 1:04:01Speaker 12: Everybody not bad?
- 1:04:04Speaker 7: Actually?
- 1:04:04Speaker 21: Thanks, We're we're busy busy today, so holding is not
- 1:04:08Speaker 21: a bad thing for me because well I'm driving the
- 1:04:11Speaker 21: truck in my thrower throws cans. Anyways, Besides that, I
- 1:04:13Speaker 21: just wanted to start off with a happy late Mother's
- 1:04:16Speaker 21: Days to all the cool, bad, awesome d a word,
- 1:04:20Speaker 21: Mother's out there, go your your life. But real quick,
- 1:04:26Speaker 21: I don't have anything today.
- 1:04:28Speaker 6: Football.
- 1:04:28Speaker 21: I have a trivia question for Nick, and I don't
- 1:04:30Speaker 21: usually bring trivia to Nick. So here we go, Nick,
- 1:04:35Speaker 21: We're going to go back. So when you and I
- 1:04:37Speaker 21: had a disagreement about nicknames, but this is an actual nickname.
- 1:04:44Speaker 21: Bob Trumpy in Super Bowl, the one where we beat
- 1:04:48Speaker 21: the Bills fifty two. Okay, Bob Trumpy released Alvin Harper's nickname.
- 1:04:54Speaker 21: Do you remember what it is? And why?
- 1:04:56Speaker 10: How?
- 1:04:57Speaker 6: Why?
- 1:04:57Speaker 21: And how he got it?
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: Was it Hop?
- 1:05:03Speaker 18: No?
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: No, al, I thought they called him hop.
- 1:05:08Speaker 21: They did, but there's a reason specifically for this one.
- 1:05:11Speaker 21: And they even said it in the broadcast.
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: Now, I don't know if I remember this one, and
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: I have watched that broadcast several times.
- 1:05:18Speaker 18: But what is it?
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: You got me?
- 1:05:21Speaker 21: It is Fridlight? Fridlight and here's why. And now it
- 1:05:28Speaker 21: made me go, what this doesn't make any sense? But
- 1:05:31Speaker 21: football back in the day wasn't soft like it is today.
- 1:05:35Speaker 21: But he said, this is why they call him Fridlight.
- 1:05:38Speaker 21: He only makes catches during Friday's practice or one time
- 1:05:43Speaker 21: during a big game. If you really think about it,
- 1:05:46Speaker 21: that's really true. Alvin Harper made impact one time every game.
- 1:05:50Speaker 21: And you're like, wow, that's true. But I don't remember them, plug,
- 1:05:54Speaker 21: I don't remember them practicing on Fridays, do you, nick?
- 1:05:56Speaker 7: Or Am I wrong?
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: No? No, they didn't practice on Friday? But what what not? Really?
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: I mean, they were out there, but I'm sure what
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: he's saying is that as an announcer, that's usually when
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: they show up. They show up that week for a game,
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: and then they go out to practice and they watch
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: them there, Oh there's Harper right there, like, oh, look
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: at it, you know, and then somebody might have say that.
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: And then and then they go on the broadcast and like, yeah,
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: we were talking to them on Friday, and so that
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: that's that's probably why that is from an announcer standpoint,
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: because that's the only practice they ever really see.
- 1:06:28Speaker 21: Okay, that makes that makes more sense because I was like,
- 1:06:30Speaker 21: you don't practice on Friday before something game.
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: I have never heard that. Honestly, I don't remember that.
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: I maybe he did say that, but I just don't
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: remember that that that part of it. It might have
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: been at the point of the game where I was
- 1:06:45Speaker 4: so excited and and giddy and and I've watched it
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: back several times and I feel like I've seen it.
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: But uh, maybe it was around that touchdown he scored
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: in the third quarter kind of that game that just
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: that play kind of put you know, put the nail
- 1:06:58Speaker 4: on the coffin there, so right.
- 1:07:00Speaker 21: And that's where it came from. And ironically, I was
- 1:07:03Speaker 21: talking to Irene and Sue by the way, congratulations Sue,
- 1:07:06Speaker 21: we love you, buddy. I was talking to them and
- 1:07:10Speaker 21: I was like, this is I'm not making this up.
- 1:07:12Speaker 21: I don't live in a Mandolin Mandela effect or whatever.
- 1:07:16Speaker 21: And then sure enough it was right there.
- 1:07:17Speaker 7: And I'll tell you what. I will text the.
- 1:07:19Speaker 21: Storyline line the exact time it is so you could
- 1:07:24Speaker 21: catch it yourself the next time I watch it. Now,
- 1:07:27Speaker 21: I watched super Bowls. The only super Bowls I ever
- 1:07:30Speaker 21: watch is of Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl. If we don't go,
- 1:07:33Speaker 21: I don't care, as you know, so I've watched our
- 1:07:35Speaker 21: super Bowls for the last thirty years and felt like champions,
- 1:07:38Speaker 21: so I know it's in there.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: I believe you.
- 1:07:41Speaker 21: I don't watch any other games.
- 1:07:43Speaker 14: I really laughed at you for it all the time.
- 1:07:44Speaker 21: But anyway, that's all I got. Make you guys have
- 1:07:47Speaker 21: a great day. Stay up, a couple of things. Remember,
- 1:07:49Speaker 21: ask for help, Captain super President and gosh, dang it,
- 1:07:53Speaker 21: Green Dot, we love you girl. You guys have a
- 1:07:56Speaker 21: good one.
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: I'm out, all right, Thanks, all right, Nico, appreciate that
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: that was a good call. Yeah, I don't know. I mean,
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: I definitely I've seen those Super Bowls, but I I
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: kind of think, you know, everyone has their own way
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: of coping with the fact that Colwis haven't been in there,
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: but I you know, I watch it. I watched the
- 1:08:17Speaker 4: Super Bowl every year and and you kind of think
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: of it like, man, look what it's become. Look what
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: it is now. And if we ever get there, it
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: just can't imagine. I really can't imagine what it would
- 1:08:28Speaker 4: be like to work here and with our business and
- 1:08:31Speaker 4: our content and all the stuff we're producing, I can't.
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: I can't imagine what it would be like even to
- 1:08:37Speaker 4: make that run, even a deep run in the playoffs.
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: We really haven't done that, so sure it would be
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: a lot of fun. All right, let's go to William,
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: the real William in West Virginia. William, what's up, Hey?
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: Are you on the golf course?
- 1:08:51Speaker 11: No, sir, I'm not, but I thought it was funny.
- 1:08:52Speaker 11: Last time I called you got technological issues.
- 1:08:55Speaker 12: I'm not causing them.
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: It was the question what were you asking about Alvin Harper?
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: Which is funny. Now we have back to back references
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: of Alvin Harper. I couldn't hear. It's my fault. I
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: like knocked out the cord here and then I was
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: trying to listen to this one over here. What were
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: you asking about Alvin Harper.
- 1:09:14Speaker 11: I wish I would go, of course, but none of
- 1:09:15Speaker 11: my question was I don't think that in my opinion.
- 1:09:18Speaker 11: I was just wanting to get your take on I
- 1:09:20Speaker 11: don't think the Cowboys have had a deep threat that
- 1:09:22Speaker 11: reminds me of Alvin Harper as much as I do
- 1:09:25Speaker 11: when I see George Pickett. I know there's different type
- 1:09:27Speaker 11: of athletes and stuff when I see When I see Pickings,
- 1:09:30Speaker 11: I just get that same home run ability. I was
- 1:09:32Speaker 11: thinking of Harper's I do with him. I was just
- 1:09:34Speaker 11: trying to get.
- 1:09:35Speaker 12: Your take on that.
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: Yeah, there hasn't been that many, but but to be fair,
- 1:09:40Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't seem like the Cowboys have had
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: the best deep ball throwers either, you know what I mean,
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: Like it's there's it's there's part of that. I mean,
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: like I mean, Cooper Rush is one of the best
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: deep ball throwers that I've seen in a while. And
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: and I know I got flagged by saying that when
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: he was the backup to Dak and all that, and
- 1:10:02Speaker 4: not saying I'd rather have him over Dak and all that.
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: Jason Garrett was a great deep ball thrower, and he
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: wasn't better than Troy Aikman as a quarterback, but as
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: just lofting it up there and putting it you know,
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: where it needs to go.
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: It takes a different kind of touch for that.
- 1:10:15Speaker 7: Thanks.
- 1:10:16Speaker 11: Yeah, Thanksgiving ninety four. I'll never forget that day. That
- 1:10:19Speaker 11: what Jason Garrett said they told him to add. Yeah,
- 1:10:24Speaker 11: how about that's pretty much a winning formula.
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: Yeah, his wife said it. His wife was brilliant one
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: that said just hey, if you get in trouble out there,
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: throw it up to Alvin.
- 1:10:33Speaker 7: There you go. That's a great advice.
- 1:10:34Speaker 11: My other question for you, real quick, if you can
- 1:10:36Speaker 11: tweez it in, is do you think who do you
- 1:10:38Speaker 11: think had more expectations coming in as a safety? Roy
- 1:10:42Speaker 11: Williams or Caleb Bowns Because that's the last really big
- 1:10:45Speaker 11: safety they picked early. I was just I know there
- 1:10:47Speaker 11: are two different players, but who do you think had
- 1:10:49Speaker 11: more expectations? And I'll hang up and listen.
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: Oh that's a good one. I mean, I mean, it's
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: it's really easy to just look at the current situation
- 1:10:57Speaker 4: and go, oh, this is the biggest but Roy. You know,
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: Roy was expected to come in and really just changed,
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: you know, change things. And and I've always said this
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: about Roy Williams is it was just he was in
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: the wrong era. I mean, he just really was. He
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: played in the wrong era. Uh he If he played
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: in the eighties, even the nineties, I think he's a
- 1:11:22Speaker 4: Hall of Famer. I really one hundred percent believe that,
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: because he had skills now he could catch the ball, Uh,
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: he had, he was a playmaker, got interceptions. If he
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: played in the eighties or nineties, he I think we
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: would we would call him just like Ronnie Lott. I
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: firmly believe that. But he was in a time where
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: it was they were transitioning. Safety was was even safety
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: for players was even more important at that point, and
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: he kind of got caught into that and and confidence wise,
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: it hurt him a little bit. But but as far
- 1:11:57Speaker 4: as what your question is of expectations, expectations, but he
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: was going to come in and just be the next
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: Darren Woodson. Guess what. That's what they're still saying about
- 1:12:05Speaker 4: Caleb Downs. So from that standpoint's a little different. But
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: he has a chance, he has a much better chance
- 1:12:12Speaker 4: to succeed better than Roy because Roy was was a tweener. Also,
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: he was a linebacker slash safety and he couldn't really
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: make that transition as well as as he wanted to.
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: And Caleb Downs is kind of a corner slash safety
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: uh and and really aligns better with what the game
- 1:12:33Speaker 4: is right now. So I think Caleb Downs has a
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: better chance to reach those expectations. But let's not forget.
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: I mean, he's still he's five Pro Bowls behind Roy. Okay,
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: so Roy made five. So did Darren Woodson. By the way,
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: So five Pro Bowlers, I mean five Pro Bowls pretty
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: pretty good. Doesn't matter what era, what position. That that's
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: a great career. All right, Chris and San Angelo?
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: What's up?
- 1:12:58Speaker 7: Chris? Mister Nick, how are you today? Good? Not Michael
- 1:13:03Speaker 7: from Bowling Green and it's Christmas?
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, and yeah, now I gotta throw a
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: Sam from North Carolina. You guys all kind of have
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: that that same kind of that accent. I love it though,
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: I love it. It's awesome.
- 1:13:15Speaker 7: Hey, they all sound like pretty cool guys to me.
- 1:13:18Speaker 7: There you go out fighting the comp But anyway, first off,
- 1:13:23Speaker 7: congratulations to sergeants.
- 1:13:25Speaker 18: Sue.
- 1:13:26Speaker 7: Funny thing about multiple kids. Yeah, after the first one,
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: you know that binkie drops out of their mouth and
- 1:13:33Speaker 7: you're picking it up. And you're disinfecting it and you're
- 1:13:37Speaker 7: boiling it and all that, and then by number two
- 1:13:41Speaker 7: it falls out. You just kind of pick it up
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: and pull some dirt off and some fibers and stick
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: it back in their mouth. So it's a little different,
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: but it's cool. Hey, y'all are talking about coaches earlier,
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: and I had a thought, and I'll see what you
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: thought of this theory. Have you ever known that really
- 1:14:02Speaker 7: good to great football players rarely become great head coaches. Yes,
- 1:14:10Speaker 7: I don't know if you have an example to against
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: what I'm thinking, but it just seems like all of
- 1:14:19Speaker 7: the really great coaches were just maybe average football players.
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: And it doesn't And you're not just talking about the NFL.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: I mean, look look at the NBA. Look at the court.
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: Look at the coaches in the NBA. We're talking about
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: like guards, solid point guards with good players, you know,
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: Steve's kurb, Doc Rivers, you know, I mean, you know
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: those those kind of guys, But you don't see a
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: lot of stars. And it's not just NFL. At the NBA.
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: I mean, Mike Singletary wasn't a great coach and head coach.
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: I mean he looked like for a while that he
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: was going to be, but it really didn't didn't turn
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: out he was, he was on track to be that.
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: I mean it was Mike did got a good coach
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: because he's a Hall of Fame tight end.
- 1:15:07Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a I think he's a I wouldn't call
- 1:15:12Speaker 7: him a great head coach, but I think he was.
- 1:15:15Speaker 7: He was solid.
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: He won a super Bowl. So but but and they
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: built they built that. You know that, they built a
- 1:15:22Speaker 4: team that we still referred to today. So you know, so, yeah,
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: we got to give him credit, get it, give him
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: credit there. But he was a Hall of Fame tight
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: end and a super Bowl winning coach. There's not a
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: lot of those there there there really isn't talking about
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: Hall of Fame player and a coach good enough to
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl. He might be the only one,
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: to be honest.
- 1:15:42Speaker 7: That that's true and there back in the day, maybe more.
- 1:15:46Speaker 7: I think Dan Reeves was a pretty good.
- 1:15:49Speaker 18: Football players, A good player. I thought he was a
- 1:15:51Speaker 18: good I thought he was a good coach, but just
- 1:15:54Speaker 18: the whole you know, great thing you're you're referring to
- 1:15:59Speaker 18: the coaching level.
- 1:16:00Speaker 7: Yeah, never, I just haven't seen too many examples of
- 1:16:04Speaker 7: that maybe it's just because they the whole time will
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: be playing. They realize that they're not going to be
- 1:16:11Speaker 7: great football players, so they just spend a lot of
- 1:16:14Speaker 7: time figuring things out.
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: There's a lot of a lot of you know, reasons
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: for that. And also the great football players have have
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: great contracts and a lot of money. Maybe they don't
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: need to go and do that, you know, so you know, yeah,
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: and also that they you know that they demand a
- 1:16:32Speaker 4: lot more too, because it's because you can't, Like Michael
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: Jordan has even said that before, you could just say
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: just just do that, just go out, just do that,
- 1:16:39Speaker 4: do a turnaround, fade away over the seven foot or
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: just dunk on them. Just can you not do that?
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: And you're like, no, I can't do that like you did.
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: Like so they don't really understand it so much, so.
- 1:16:50Speaker 7: You can't coach.
- 1:16:51Speaker 18: You can't coach Michael Jordan level.
- 1:16:53Speaker 7: Sorry anyways, thank you taking my call.
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: Buddy, all right, appreciate it.
- 1:16:57Speaker 18: Man.
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: Uh let's go real quickly here, We've got one more
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: in Minnesota. Finish this off here, Leicester? What's up?
- 1:17:07Speaker 14: What's up next? All good man? Hey, I won't be
- 1:17:12Speaker 14: too long today. I just got a couple points on Caleb.
- 1:17:17Speaker 14: I was listening to Vosh the other day.
- 1:17:20Speaker 16: And uh and and.
- 1:17:21Speaker 14: They had his Caleb's father on, and I just wanted
- 1:17:25Speaker 14: to let let the audience know a couple of things
- 1:17:27Speaker 14: that they were saying about His father said about him.
- 1:17:30Speaker 21: He said, at.
- 1:17:31Speaker 14: Five years old, when he was in kindergarten, he was
- 1:17:34Speaker 14: doing one hand pushups for the girls. And he said
- 1:17:40Speaker 14: he was on the little league team. He played running
- 1:17:42Speaker 14: back at first, but at the age of eleven, on
- 1:17:47Speaker 14: the little league team, he wanted to see the film
- 1:17:50Speaker 14: on the other teams that he was playing with. And
- 1:17:53Speaker 14: he did that throughout high school. He was studying film.
- 1:17:56Speaker 14: Wanted to see and study, not not only see, he
- 1:17:59Speaker 14: was studying films on the opponent and he was, you know,
- 1:18:03Speaker 14: he wanted to do that. And just a comment on
- 1:18:08Speaker 14: the bye weeks, I think, and I thought this since
- 1:18:11Speaker 14: they pushed it up to seventeen weeks of playing. I
- 1:18:14Speaker 14: think somehow the NFL should figure out the way we
- 1:18:18Speaker 14: could have two buys, you know, one here, one narrow,
- 1:18:21Speaker 14: maybe two in a row. Whatever they could figure it out,
- 1:18:23Speaker 14: however it goes. I think that would keep the players
- 1:18:27Speaker 14: fresh as well. I mean, maybe we would have to
- 1:18:29Speaker 14: start the season a little earlier, like we used to
- 1:18:31Speaker 14: used to start at Labor Day, you know, back in
- 1:18:33Speaker 14: the day or whatever. They could figure it out. But
- 1:18:37Speaker 14: that's all I got.
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: Go Cowboys, all right, thanks Lester. Appreciate that there was
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: a season where there were a couple of buyes. I
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: think it was ninety three, but yeah, I mean they
- 1:18:48Speaker 4: could definitely do that. And I think if you go
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: to an eighty game schedule, which which could could happen,
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: I wonder if there's there's some talk about a buye,
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: you know, a bye week as well. But you know,
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: if there's an eighteen game schedule, it's only it's going
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: to make an earlier season just because it's gonna cut
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: down on the preseason. And honestly, if you did an
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: eighteen game schedule, the bye that bye week is already
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: kind of would already be put in there. It's already
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: in place because that last week of the preseason is
- 1:19:19Speaker 4: kind of like a mini buy anyway, So there's something
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: to be said for that. I think if they do
- 1:19:24Speaker 4: go eighteen game schedule, there's a chance that there is
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: a buy and maybe the first nine games there's one,
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: and then the next nine and so that would you know,
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: could even it out that way? All right, guys, great show,
- 1:19:35Speaker 4: appreciate the calls. Fourteen callers, got a new caller from
- 1:19:38Speaker 4: North Carolina, had some of the vets, some of the captains,
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: so really good stuff. Next Wednesday, we'll be back to
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: do it again. We'll talk to schedule for sure. Schedule
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: comes out tomorrow. Check out all these videos that we've got.
