- 0:34Speaker 2: He got us back on the air with the first
- 0:36Speaker 2: show of this podcast lineup this year.
- 0:39Speaker 3: And we're so excited to do it.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I know you guys are are chomping at the bit
- 0:42Speaker 2: to get back at it. And we didn't even make
- 0:44Speaker 2: this decision until like this morning we figured out we
- 0:47Speaker 2: could do it. I got on to the to the
- 0:49Speaker 2: Twitter UH Storyline group UH community chat there and I said, guys,
- 0:55Speaker 2: I need you, I need you, need you guys to
- 0:58Speaker 2: pull through. And what do you know, our first two
- 1:00Speaker 2: callers I wouldn't expect anything less, these first two that
- 1:04Speaker 2: jumped right on side.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I got you.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll be like this for the next hour or
- 1:07Speaker 2: so and we'll see how the calls go and we'll
- 1:10Speaker 2: keep it going. But this is this is new for
- 1:12Speaker 2: me because if you remember last year when we kicked
- 1:14Speaker 2: this show off, we didn't have a phone lines, and
- 1:16Speaker 2: so now we kind of added that to the mix.
- 1:20Speaker 2: We got two lines, just like we normally do. We'll
- 1:22Speaker 2: see how how it goes. But my guy mcguiver over here,
- 1:25Speaker 2: Chris Beam, was able to get it and knocked out.
- 1:28Speaker 3: I'm so I'm so.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Excited for that, so and excited just just to be
- 1:31Speaker 2: back here talking Cowboys football and start training camp even
- 1:34Speaker 2: though they don't practice until tomorrow in the first paths
- 1:38Speaker 2: don't even come on till almost a week on Tuesday.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I haven't had the opening press conference yet, all these
- 1:45Speaker 2: things these, yeah, but.
- 1:47Speaker 3: But we're here. That's the thing. We're here. You can
- 1:49Speaker 3: tell we're here.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I'm about to put these shades on because that's how
- 1:52Speaker 2: bright it is when we get to training camp.
- 1:54Speaker 3: But man, it's just so fun to be able.
- 1:56Speaker 2: To talk about because because nothing's really happened happened yet.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll talk about all the storylines and the
- 2:02Speaker 2: people that are here, the players that are not here,
- 2:06Speaker 2: but still, this is what we're expecting to happen here
- 2:10Speaker 2: in the next few days, and we can talk about
- 2:11Speaker 2: all that kind of good stuff. So let's let's do
- 2:14Speaker 2: what we what we do here. Let's get this thing
- 2:16Speaker 2: kicked off. Uh, are we ready to go to the
- 2:19Speaker 2: calls here? Let's let's go right to the call here.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Let's start off. Irene in Virginia, Irene, what's up.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, hey, all of our storyline fans.
- 2:29Speaker 5: I love it.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your time off.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely enjoyed it, but also enjoying being back as well.
- 2:37Speaker 2: If that could be two things can both be true.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Absolutely, sometimes you need to refresher and you got it,
- 2:44Speaker 4: but you're ready to go.
- 2:45Speaker 7: That's where that's what's goffine.
- 2:46Speaker 3: There you go.
- 2:47Speaker 6: So, hey, I gotta I gotta set the record straight
- 2:50Speaker 6: and listen to the last show.
- 2:52Speaker 5: Dylan is the man behind getting our tub with storyliners,
- 2:56Speaker 5: uh whatever, community going. So I just wanted to make
- 3:00Speaker 5: sure that that I was like listening, I'm like, oh man,
- 3:04Speaker 5: we did talk about it.
- 3:05Speaker 3: But if I give you the credit.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Man, yeah, because I wished out to Chris and I
- 3:11Speaker 4: was like, hey, let him know, like, let let him know.
- 3:14Speaker 4: But uh so I got I got most of the
- 3:16Speaker 4: credit on that, I think.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Because he might have done it, but I think you
- 3:21Speaker 2: you're the one that's originated of really trying to get
- 3:25Speaker 2: these people together into a community.
- 3:27Speaker 3: He officially did it.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You got you kind of had the concept of it,
- 3:30Speaker 2: and he took it to the next step either way exactly.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's the executor.
- 3:38Speaker 7: So two things.
- 3:40Speaker 4: So for me, I'm just most I'm always most curious
- 3:43Speaker 4: about injury progression. So obviously the big two for me
- 3:48Speaker 4: are digs and overshown because it's like, okay, flash in
- 3:51Speaker 4: the pan or something bigger. Hopefully something bigger, and hopefully
- 3:56Speaker 4: the injury has been you know, rehab long enough at
- 3:58Speaker 4: this point that he gets to just have a nice
- 4:02Speaker 4: full season.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And do well and then.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Overshelled. I mean, Diggs is more than a flash in
- 4:11Speaker 6: the pan, right, But yeah, I hope, I hope, of course,
- 4:14Speaker 6: I hope Giggs returns to form. Always curious to see
- 4:17Speaker 6: how long that takes.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Hoping that since it was early, it's not you know,
- 4:23Speaker 4: ten weeks, it's you know.
- 4:25Speaker 6: Two weeks, maybe give him some grace, but.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Because we need him for sure, and I love to
- 4:31Speaker 4: see that combo for you know, Giggs and Bland and
- 4:34Speaker 4: even Lewis and see how that goes.
- 4:37Speaker 8: And then for kind of just you know how I
- 4:39Speaker 8: love to be like kind of feel like I'm in
- 4:41Speaker 8: the building if you don't mind kind of describing like
- 4:44Speaker 8: how it is getting to camp and you know, travel
- 4:48Speaker 8: and your stay and all that, so that would be great,
- 4:51Speaker 8: and I will hang.
- 4:52Speaker 6: Up so others can call one thing.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Beam.
- 4:55Speaker 6: I don't know if you know this, but I could
- 4:57Speaker 6: hear Travis is number two. I could hear you guys
- 5:00Speaker 6: talking for some reason. So that's that's new. So it
- 5:03Speaker 6: thinks that matters to you. But I'll hang up and
- 5:06Speaker 6: listen to that. Other people can call it.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Thank you. That might Thanks Irene appreciated that that might
- 5:11Speaker 2: be be something we're gonna go through.
- 5:12Speaker 3: We work through.
- 5:13Speaker 2: If that's our biggest problem, I guess that's not really
- 5:15Speaker 2: a huge one. But thanks for letting us know. We're
- 5:17Speaker 2: still this is new to us too on how this
- 5:19Speaker 2: works with the phone lines and the shows and stuff
- 5:21Speaker 2: like that. So thank you for doing that, and we'll
- 5:24Speaker 2: get that squared away as well.
- 5:27Speaker 3: All right, all right, to answer your questions.
- 5:30Speaker 2: You know I've heard this since I first was on
- 5:34Speaker 2: the beat twenty five years ago, twenty six years ago.
- 5:37Speaker 2: It is like every injury is different. You know, you
- 5:39Speaker 2: can't just say this guy had this, so it's gonna
- 5:42Speaker 2: be the same.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Recovery is different.
- 5:44Speaker 2: And here's a good recent example of that is ACLS
- 5:47Speaker 2: from Terrence Steele and Trevon Diggs. I mean, Diggs is injury.
- 5:52Speaker 2: You know, it happened week three of the season, and
- 5:56Speaker 2: he's gonna probably go on pop that that's than that
- 6:00Speaker 2: they have to announce here, which means it's physically unable
- 6:02Speaker 2: to perform lists. He still counts to your ninety roster
- 6:05Speaker 2: or actually it will be ninety one when they fill
- 6:08Speaker 2: it out because of their exemption that they have, but
- 6:11Speaker 2: it'll be you know, he still counts. He can do
- 6:14Speaker 2: most of the things. He can't just be at practice.
- 6:16Speaker 2: He can be at meetings, he can be and maybe
- 6:18Speaker 2: some of the walkthrough, so he just can't be like
- 6:20Speaker 2: obviously in there in practice, and he's not ready to be.
- 6:24Speaker 2: You know, he's still has some work to do there,
- 6:26Speaker 2: so that that that's gonna be one thing that that
- 6:29Speaker 2: will change. I was wondering if they were gonna mow
- 6:33Speaker 2: while we did the show. That's awesome or whatever we
- 6:35Speaker 2: got going on back here, but we expected that to happen.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Mo Clayborn back here doing his thing now. But the
- 6:43Speaker 2: thing about Diggs is that you know, he's not necessarily
- 6:47Speaker 2: ready ready, but they you know, you got to remember
- 6:50Speaker 2: what the injury was, a cl injury win in practice,
- 6:54Speaker 2: So they're not really trying to push him back just yet.
- 6:57Speaker 2: He's got some work to do. Cleveland's the tar get
- 7:00Speaker 2: to play in that Cleveland game for sure. Overshown, I
- 7:03Speaker 2: think Overshown will be ready to go. He's not gonna
- 7:05Speaker 2: be on pup. He was injured obviously training or training
- 7:08Speaker 2: camp slash preseason game uh in Seattle. I think he'll
- 7:11Speaker 2: be ready to go, uh and back at it. And
- 7:13Speaker 2: your question about training camp, you know, I mean they
- 7:16Speaker 2: could do a whole show on that, but you know
- 7:19Speaker 2: it's we we take we charter out one big charter. Now,
- 7:22Speaker 2: a lot of people are here, uh to start with.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I mean they're as far as uh, you know, trainers,
- 7:29Speaker 2: operations crew, the the equipment staff, a lot of a
- 7:36Speaker 2: lot of people just helped set this whole thing up.
- 7:39Speaker 2: You know what people don't know is that this this
- 7:41Speaker 2: complex here at Oxnard River Ridge Complex.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Is uh six.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Tennis courts and so this is actually all on top
- 7:51Speaker 2: of six tennis courts and and that's where you know
- 7:53Speaker 2: where press cons will be is where our work is
- 7:56Speaker 2: a lot of V I P.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So uh, it'll be in in this in this whole
- 8:00Speaker 2: area and then they've been doing just like this. So
- 8:02Speaker 2: this is kind of our setup. Uh, It's it's like
- 8:05Speaker 2: a it's like an apartment complex. Really is what it is.
- 8:08Speaker 2: What it's like. And you know, everybody has a pretty
- 8:11Speaker 2: decent space here and the weather it's beautiful and that's
- 8:14Speaker 2: why they come out here. It's a golf course right
- 8:16Speaker 2: out here, and so the fans can come out here
- 8:19Speaker 2: for free and watch. I don't know if that answered
- 8:22Speaker 2: all your questions. Like I said, I mean, there's there's
- 8:24Speaker 2: there's all kinds of nuances about it. So we can
- 8:26Speaker 2: talk about it in while we're here the whole time.
- 8:29Speaker 2: You've got questions about camp specifically, we can talk about it.
- 8:33Speaker 9: All.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Right, Let's go to Travis and San Antonio. Travis, what's up?
- 8:38Speaker 9: What's going on?
- 8:39Speaker 10: Welcome back?
- 8:39Speaker 2: How you doing? Man?
- 8:41Speaker 10: Doing good? Working, working, Gonna go to the gym here
- 8:44Speaker 10: in a little bit. But I saw the tweet tweet
- 8:46Speaker 10: you back. I don't know if you caught the clever
- 8:49Speaker 10: pund about your break.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I don't.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I didn't hear that about the break. I didn't.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Actually, I'm not even hearing you that. Well, Travis, what
- 8:58Speaker 2: do you got what you got on your mind?
- 9:01Speaker 11: I got it.
- 9:02Speaker 3: I can hear you.
- 9:03Speaker 10: So basically, I just want to welcome you guys back.
- 9:07Speaker 10: I don't have a ton, but I wanted to one
- 9:09Speaker 10: kind of get your your guest best guests on. I've
- 9:12Speaker 10: already seen two fights Kadarius Tony and George Carlosis and
- 9:18Speaker 10: then Derek Singley and Dalton Schultz got into it. Yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 10: I just wanted to see what your early favorite on
- 9:25Speaker 10: camp was. My early favorite is overshown in Ferguson, and
- 9:30Speaker 10: then I'll hear you on that. And then I wanted
- 9:33Speaker 10: to see we've been talking in the group. We're definitely
- 9:35Speaker 10: gonna get a group together to come out next year
- 9:36Speaker 10: for twenty twenty five, so that's gonna be a thing.
- 9:39Speaker 10: And then also we've been talking about contracts. I know
- 9:42Speaker 10: it's been the big three contracts that we've been talking about,
- 9:45Speaker 10: but I wanted to see what you thought about because
- 9:47Speaker 10: we got further into it, Dylan and I and the
- 9:50Speaker 10: whole group about obviously, you know, we have the three
- 9:53Speaker 10: big contracts to do. But then quickly like behind in
- 9:56Speaker 10: the background, you have Bland, you have Ferguson, you have
- 9:59Speaker 10: Ti or Smith, who's not gonna be cheap. He's gonna
- 10:01Speaker 10: be you know, probably a reset or top five at least.
- 10:05Speaker 10: So there's some sneaky contracts that of guys that aren't
- 10:08Speaker 10: first round picks that are also coming up. So I
- 10:10Speaker 10: just wanted to see how much he thought that's gonna
- 10:11Speaker 10: factor in as well going into the next offseason. Yeah,
- 10:15Speaker 10: I just wanted to say congrats and welcome back, and
- 10:18Speaker 10: uh let's go all.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Right, thanks Gravis appreciated good, good stuff.
- 10:21Speaker 2: As for the fights, I mean, you know, I don't
- 10:24Speaker 2: know about over overshowing. I'm always seemed like he's pretty happy.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I mean, just tore he towards a c L and
- 10:29Speaker 2: he was out for the season, and he was like
- 10:31Speaker 2: just his attitude was so positive about everything.
- 10:34Speaker 3: I don't I don't.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I mean, he's got These are competitive players and you
- 10:38Speaker 2: can't play the linebacker and not be not have something
- 10:41Speaker 2: to you you know, And so uh yeah, I'm not
- 10:43Speaker 2: saying he's not he didn't have that dog in him,
- 10:45Speaker 2: but I don't see that as a prediction.
- 10:48Speaker 3: You know, for him.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Uh But then again, you know, those guys surprised you
- 10:51Speaker 2: other time. The Ottist was pretty nice guy too, and
- 10:53Speaker 2: he fought a lot last year, a lot, so it's
- 10:56Speaker 2: hard to predict those. You know, Schultz doesn't really surprise me,
- 11:02Speaker 2: but uh, you know it, who knows, you know, who
- 11:06Speaker 2: knows how that happens. I mean that that'll it'll just
- 11:09Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see if it's that kind of
- 11:12Speaker 2: practice where you know, it gets it gets really you know,
- 11:16Speaker 2: tense like that. I wouldn't think it's early. It's usually
- 11:21Speaker 2: later on. You start, you're tired of hitting each other,
- 11:23Speaker 2: tired you need to play someone else, You're tired of
- 11:26Speaker 2: the same stuff over and over. That's kind of where
- 11:28Speaker 2: these things kind of boil over to that point. So
- 11:30Speaker 2: it's a little surprising to see him early in camp
- 11:32Speaker 2: like that. You know, I fights like that, unless it's
- 11:36Speaker 2: another team, you can always predict that. If you're gonna
- 11:39Speaker 2: practice with another team, they're always gonna fight. And so
- 11:42Speaker 2: but that's kind of that's typically where that is. All right,
- 11:45Speaker 2: And I can't I can't even remember your other question
- 11:48Speaker 2: there you had, Oh, you had contracts you know last year.
- 11:55Speaker 2: It's funny because last year this was kind of a
- 11:58Speaker 2: thing where we talked to about big contracts. Diggs was
- 12:03Speaker 2: one of them, c D and Dak and then before
- 12:07Speaker 2: you know it, you know, I think they did sign
- 12:09Speaker 2: Diggs first, but then Steele got a deal and also
- 12:13Speaker 2: Hooker got a deal, and so but those guys were
- 12:19Speaker 2: going to be free agents, the guys you mentioned Ferguson Blant,
- 12:22Speaker 2: I think that's too early right now. We think they
- 12:25Speaker 2: are going to be Tyler Smith who I mean. We
- 12:28Speaker 2: think that they are going to really demand a lot
- 12:31Speaker 2: of a lot of money, and they probably will. But
- 12:35Speaker 2: I don't think the weather they jumped the gun on
- 12:37Speaker 2: it too early, unless unless the deal's great for them,
- 12:40Speaker 2: you know, unless the player says I'll do it, I'll
- 12:42Speaker 2: sign that deal. Typically doesn't happen like that. These agents
- 12:46Speaker 2: are too good for all that. But that's that's typically
- 12:49Speaker 2: how how that that kind of works. All right, let's
- 12:52Speaker 2: uh sorry, I'm losing of my WiFi here, all right.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Next one is Lewis and Langston.
- 12:59Speaker 7: Okle, what's going on?
- 13:02Speaker 12: Was going on?
- 13:03Speaker 2: What's up?
- 13:03Speaker 11: Man?
- 13:04Speaker 13: Not much true?
- 13:06Speaker 12: Just I've touched the basic one to make sure I
- 13:08Speaker 12: get on for the first time today or for the
- 13:10Speaker 12: first time started a new season. I don't really care
- 13:14Speaker 12: about all the contract stuff. I kind of have faith
- 13:16Speaker 12: that eventually that stuff.
- 13:17Speaker 13: Is gonna get done.
- 13:19Speaker 12: So really, I think I might have missed Irene call
- 13:22Speaker 12: and she asked about a bunch of injuries. So I'm
- 13:24Speaker 12: kind of really more worried about, uh not tray Von,
- 13:28Speaker 12: But I guess the big boy, Mazzie, how is he looking?
- 13:31Speaker 12: Is he okay? Or is he gonna be on puff
- 13:33Speaker 12: when we started? Or how's that going to go? And
- 13:36Speaker 12: I ain't gonna hold you too long because I know
- 13:37Speaker 12: everybody wants to get on, so I'll go with that.
- 13:40Speaker 12: And I saw tea.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Lady all right, thanks Lewis, appreciate that, Mozzie. You know,
- 13:49Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't tell you on that one.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I've asked a couple of people and that didn't get
- 13:55Speaker 2: great answers there, just get kind of a shrug.
- 13:57Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 13:58Speaker 2: He wasn't around a lot this offseason to do the
- 14:01Speaker 2: rehab work on his shoulder, and not as much as
- 14:05Speaker 2: I think people would want him to be. So you know,
- 14:08Speaker 2: that's that's kind of where it is. Let's let's see,
- 14:10Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I know the quote that he
- 14:12Speaker 2: that he said last year is getting kind of thrown
- 14:15Speaker 2: out there again. I don't love football. It's like hitting people, Well,
- 14:17Speaker 2: this is the time to hit people. But it's also
- 14:19Speaker 2: the time to love football, and so we'll be it'll
- 14:23Speaker 2: be interesting to see what happens with Mazi. They need them,
- 14:25Speaker 2: they need they need this draft class to be good.
- 14:28Speaker 2: They need last year's class to step up and be good.
- 14:30Speaker 2: It wasn't last year they didn't get much of anything.
- 14:33Speaker 2: They need that this year. This is their free agency.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Their free agency is the twenty twenty three, twenty twenty two,
- 14:38Speaker 2: maybe even twenty twenty one draft class, the guys that
- 14:41Speaker 2: haven't really stepped up and done because because of whatever
- 14:44Speaker 2: the reason, whether they didn't have opportunity or what. But
- 14:47Speaker 2: this is the time that they need to do. This
- 14:49Speaker 2: is what they're banking on. When they look at what
- 14:51Speaker 2: they did in the offseason, they said, we're letting some
- 14:54Speaker 2: of these players go. We're gonna we're gonna let the
- 14:57Speaker 2: guys we have here. We already have it here. It's
- 15:00Speaker 2: just like when you're at home and you're like, I'm
- 15:02Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna eat out tonight, and no, we have
- 15:04Speaker 2: food here. We have food here, and it's about to
- 15:06Speaker 2: go bad, so let's eat it. Okay, let's eat this
- 15:08Speaker 2: food and save some money and let's see if we
- 15:10Speaker 2: can if we can get this done. And that's that's
- 15:12Speaker 2: kind of the way it is. And he's in that group.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Jalen Tolvert, Sam Williams, I mean, now, Sean Wright. The
- 15:17Speaker 2: list goes on and on. I mean, these are the
- 15:19Speaker 2: guys that they're counting on. So Mazie, I can't give
- 15:21Speaker 2: you the answer how he's looking. And it's gonna be
- 15:23Speaker 2: a week before we really see how they're mixing it
- 15:26Speaker 2: up with the pads on and all this. But I'll
- 15:28Speaker 2: tell you this, they need him, they need him to
- 15:30Speaker 2: actually do a really good job there. All right, let's go, Robin,
- 15:33Speaker 2: Robin Vegas.
- 15:34Speaker 3: What's up?
- 15:35Speaker 13: Rob?
- 15:36Speaker 9: Hey?
- 15:36Speaker 10: Nick?
- 15:36Speaker 3: Here we go, we go.
- 15:38Speaker 2: What's up?
- 15:38Speaker 3: Man?
- 15:40Speaker 14: It's great to see you're back.
- 15:41Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it. Awesome, Glad to be back. Glad
- 15:44Speaker 2: you're with us.
- 15:45Speaker 14: Oh, definitely the storyline family strong.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Yep.
- 15:50Speaker 14: So let's be out.
- 15:52Speaker 15: Let's be honest.
- 15:52Speaker 14: Are you shocked that neither DAK or CD has been
- 15:56Speaker 14: signed yet?
- 15:58Speaker 2: Not shocked by anything. There's no deadline to do this.
- 16:01Speaker 2: They don't miss anything other than I mean, CD's going
- 16:04Speaker 2: to miss some time here, but DAK isn't. So I'm
- 16:07Speaker 2: not shocked because I don't think the Cowboys consider that
- 16:11Speaker 2: they're losing much so No, they usually deadline make deals.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Steven Jones have said it hundreds of time these I
- 16:17Speaker 2: guess they're saying it again.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Deadlines make deals. There is no deadline, So no, I'm
- 16:20Speaker 3: not shocked.
- 16:22Speaker 11: I don't know.
- 16:23Speaker 15: I I thought, I mean the last show, you know,
- 16:28Speaker 15: I think Jefferson just signed, so we were like, okay,
- 16:30Speaker 15: this is easy.
- 16:31Speaker 7: Just copy that deal.
- 16:32Speaker 14: Maybe a little less, but it's like, what are they
- 16:36Speaker 14: taking so long?
- 16:37Speaker 15: And me personally, I want them to sign Dak first because,
- 16:42Speaker 15: like I said, I think you need the topnotch quarterback
- 16:44Speaker 15: that you're going to go with the topknot tide receiver.
- 16:47Speaker 15: And I don't don't, I don't know.
- 16:50Speaker 14: Uh, what are you hearing about left tackle?
- 16:53Speaker 15: To me, that's that's the most intriguing because we've seen
- 16:58Speaker 15: this team struggle and decks struggle when the guy protecting
- 17:02Speaker 15: his blind side isn't very good?
- 17:05Speaker 14: And I know they drafted.
- 17:08Speaker 7: What are you hearing about him?
- 17:09Speaker 14: Because I really don't hear anything about him?
- 17:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I from what I hear is that
- 17:12Speaker 2: they love what you know, his upside I mean obviously
- 17:15Speaker 2: is why he drafted him all that and they think
- 17:17Speaker 2: he's going to be good. Me personally, like, if if
- 17:23Speaker 2: too many Doga starts against the Browns, I think we're
- 17:27Speaker 2: all going to be worried in our own right anyways.
- 17:30Speaker 2: And I think if he if he too many Dogo
- 17:32Speaker 2: takes every snap at left tackle in the preseason, in
- 17:35Speaker 2: training camp and then starts that game, I don't think
- 17:38Speaker 2: he's going to be way better than what he is
- 17:42Speaker 2: right now. I think he's kind of is what it is.
- 17:44Speaker 2: But Geydon, I think obviously as a rookie can can.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Grow a lot.
- 17:48Speaker 2: So me he's We had a question on this in
- 17:51Speaker 2: our twenty questions like when does he take over? And
- 17:54Speaker 2: I'm like, right theF now, like yes, absolutely now because Dak,
- 17:59Speaker 2: where's red jersey? Which means don't hit me, which means
- 18:03Speaker 2: if Micah Parson Michael Parson's in tank, wear this guy out,
- 18:07Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt you other than this guy's got to
- 18:09Speaker 2: get better. He's got to keep going. But he's gonna
- 18:11Speaker 2: have to learn on the run. So learn on the
- 18:13Speaker 2: run out here and be as ready as you can
- 18:16Speaker 2: be for Miles Garrett, because you're the future, You're the
- 18:18Speaker 2: left tackle he needs to start and it needs to
- 18:20Speaker 2: start right now. This is no like, well, you got
- 18:22Speaker 2: to earn your spot. Now you're a first round draft
- 18:24Speaker 2: pick to MAYDOGA hasn't earned the right to like I'm
- 18:27Speaker 2: the guy here. No, you're just a journeyman back up
- 18:30Speaker 2: and they need you at guard and tackle and all
- 18:32Speaker 2: that stuff's great, But Tyler Guyton ready or not, should
- 18:35Speaker 2: be the left tackle and and just roll with it.
- 18:38Speaker 2: And if he's just can't handle it in the games
- 18:40Speaker 2: and your quarterback's getting hurt, then you have to figure
- 18:43Speaker 2: something out.
- 18:43Speaker 15: But yeah, and they could always move They could always
- 18:46Speaker 15: move Smith over.
- 18:47Speaker 3: They could.
- 18:48Speaker 2: They don't want to, but they could if that works
- 18:50Speaker 2: in basket play guard or Hoffman whoever, you know, yeah,
- 18:53Speaker 2: they could do that. But but I think right now
- 18:56Speaker 2: it's get getting better. Tyler Smith, he's smart as a whip.
- 19:00Speaker 2: At left guard, he's going to be teaching the center.
- 19:02Speaker 2: He's going to be teaching the left tackle. That's why
- 19:04Speaker 2: they want him there, and they can they can do that.
- 19:06Speaker 2: But I think I think, you know, get all those
- 19:08Speaker 2: kinks out right now at training camp.
- 19:11Speaker 7: For me, it's the biggest question mark.
- 19:13Speaker 14: I think the offense could be better than last year.
- 19:16Speaker 14: So second year on the McCarthy Dack's coming off a
- 19:19Speaker 14: great year. I think the offensive line has the ability
- 19:23Speaker 14: to be bigger and stronger. I think steel will be better,
- 19:27Speaker 14: uh being you know a c L now two years later.
- 19:29Speaker 14: But you're right there, you know, is BB? Are they
- 19:33Speaker 14: still thinking BB is going to be the starting center?
- 19:36Speaker 15: Or is that really a competition?
- 19:38Speaker 2: I think it's a competition. You say you saw on
- 19:41Speaker 2: BB and Hoffman? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's
- 19:45Speaker 2: a it's a It's a competition for sure. This is
- 19:49Speaker 2: this is gonna be tough, though, because you know at
- 19:52Speaker 2: at center, this is where your continuity starts, at the
- 19:55Speaker 2: old line, right in the middle, you know, at the
- 19:57Speaker 2: core of your team, and so you want to get
- 20:00Speaker 2: that done. And I actually asked Dak this question in
- 20:03Speaker 2: the offseason. I said, is that a position battle that
- 20:06Speaker 2: you want to be cleared up sooner than later just
- 20:08Speaker 2: from a continuity? And he said, not really, because you
- 20:12Speaker 2: never know. You gotta play with these guys anyways. You
- 20:16Speaker 2: sometimes you have to play with it, so I want
- 20:18Speaker 2: I don't He said, that didn't bother me. If if
- 20:20Speaker 2: it's Bebe and Hoffman all the way to the end,
- 20:23Speaker 2: because that means I have good rapport with with both
- 20:25Speaker 2: of them. So I thought that was interesting answer there.
- 20:29Speaker 2: And and I think it'll be it'll be a battle.
- 20:31Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Every time I think about it, I think, yeah, Bbe,
- 20:34Speaker 2: look at him, he's the guy. He'll learn, he's smart,
- 20:36Speaker 2: he's gonna figure it out. He'll be the starter. And
- 20:38Speaker 2: then I think it Hoffman, I think he ain't gonna
- 20:41Speaker 2: lose it. Hoffmin's you know, so I that's a good
- 20:46Speaker 2: problem to have, you know, It's it's really I think
- 20:48Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun. And then and then Bass is
- 20:50Speaker 2: just gonna be quietly. He'll take a lot of guard snaps,
- 20:53Speaker 2: you know. I mean, Zach Martin's not gonna get a
- 20:55Speaker 2: ton hope not. And so he'll he'll he'll probably be
- 20:58Speaker 2: really you know, getting good at guard as well.
- 21:01Speaker 7: Yeah, it's got it.
- 21:02Speaker 14: We got a lot of good storylines.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you don't you know, this reminds me
- 21:07Speaker 3: of something. Not to cut you off.
- 21:08Speaker 2: I know you have another question, but you know how
- 21:10Speaker 2: many times have we seen quarterbacks and backups or whatever
- 21:13Speaker 2: in preseason and they're just running for their life because
- 21:15Speaker 2: the offensive line can't block, so you can't really evaluate anything.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I think you're going to have a better chance to
- 21:20Speaker 2: do that this year. I think you're going to have
- 21:22Speaker 2: better players to when Lance is there, maybe even Cooper Rush.
- 21:25Speaker 2: And I think the old line is going to be
- 21:27Speaker 2: to the point where they can be, you know, pretty
- 21:30Speaker 2: efficient there and we can see a good sample size
- 21:33Speaker 2: and preseason.
- 21:35Speaker 7: I totally agree.
- 21:36Speaker 14: I think this offensive line has some of the better
- 21:40Speaker 14: depth it's had in a long time.
- 21:43Speaker 9: And I agree.
- 21:44Speaker 14: You know, nothing worse than watching preseason football. As soon
- 21:47Speaker 14: as they take the starters out, It's like, are you
- 21:49Speaker 14: kidding me? I don't think it'll be like the bad
- 21:51Speaker 14: news bands. I think I think the offensive line will
- 21:54Speaker 14: be good. And let's be honest, trade Lance should look
- 21:58Speaker 14: really good in the preseason.
- 21:59Speaker 3: He's not a.
- 22:00Speaker 14: Rookie young guy. He should look good. And and so
- 22:04Speaker 14: I'm I'm listen.
- 22:05Speaker 7: I'm excited.
- 22:06Speaker 14: I think we're all excited.
- 22:07Speaker 2: We've got football by exactly. You know, thanks, thanks for
- 22:10Speaker 2: the call, Robert. I appreciate that. I'm going to keep it,
- 22:12Speaker 2: keep this thing rolling. And you know what, that right
- 22:15Speaker 2: there is such a it's such an important statement. You know,
- 22:19Speaker 2: that is what it's what we do, you know, as
- 22:24Speaker 2: football fans. This is this is the part of the
- 22:26Speaker 2: season where everybody has a little hope and and and
- 22:30Speaker 2: some more than others and all that stuff, and your
- 22:32Speaker 2: expectation high and low. And this is about your college team,
- 22:35Speaker 2: your pro team, high school team, whatever. That's what's so
- 22:38Speaker 2: awesome about football is that. And I see it on
- 22:42Speaker 2: the show and hear it on the show after the season,
- 22:44Speaker 2: like we're done, this is it. I can't do this again,
- 22:46Speaker 2: can't put myself through this again. And then it's like, well,
- 22:49Speaker 2: I'm done. I don't need to mess with this right now.
- 22:51Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes. And then you start looking
- 22:53Speaker 2: at the draft and free agency and you get mad
- 22:55Speaker 2: about free agency, you get mad about the offseason, and
- 22:57Speaker 2: you're like this team, you know, and then training camp
- 23:00Speaker 2: comes around and you're like, you know, we're not so bad.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Our roster looks pretty good and you know, Dak had
- 23:06Speaker 2: a good year. Yeah, whatever it is. And you just
- 23:08Speaker 2: keep getting sucked back against this vicious cycle that happens
- 23:12Speaker 2: and it sucks us back in. But that's football, and
- 23:14Speaker 2: that's what I love about it. I'm that way, you know,
- 23:17Speaker 2: I'm cautiously optimistic about you know, my Arkansas team, you know,
- 23:22Speaker 2: and the Cowboys. I think, you know, I think he's
- 23:24Speaker 2: a good team. I mean, I again, I understand that
- 23:27Speaker 2: everyone's like, well, let's see what happens in the playoffs,
- 23:29Speaker 2: but I don't. We can't function that way, like we
- 23:32Speaker 2: don't have that luxury. We're talking about today training camp.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Who's here, who's not here? That's what we're talking about,
- 23:38Speaker 2: is who's not here. But that's what we're talking about
- 23:41Speaker 2: right now. And so you can't can't jump too far ahead.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But as Rob as you said to close it out,
- 23:47Speaker 2: we're back. It's football is back, and that's what's that's
- 23:49Speaker 2: what's super exciting. All right, let's go to the next caller.
- 23:52Speaker 2: It's Chris and San Angelo. Chris my man, what's up.
- 23:55Speaker 11: Hey, mister Nick, as I live and breathe, welcome back.
- 24:00Speaker 3: I love it.
- 24:01Speaker 10: I love it.
- 24:01Speaker 2: I don't know if you're quoting the movie Maverick there,
- 24:04Speaker 2: but it's it's awesome. I think that line is in
- 24:08Speaker 2: there two times.
- 24:08Speaker 3: And I love it. As I live and breathe, what's up, hey.
- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm doing well, sir, Glad to have you back. There's
- 24:15Speaker 11: so many different directions I could go with this, and
- 24:18Speaker 11: I'm not gonna talk. Okay, well, here's what we're gonna do.
- 24:23Speaker 11: The you know, lost some depth on the defensive line,
- 24:26Speaker 11: uh rnd of players walking, you know. So what my
- 24:32Speaker 11: question is about, what do you think? I know, I'm
- 24:35Speaker 11: not even gonna ask if there's pressure on Sam Williams
- 24:38Speaker 11: because there just is, because that's what it's come to you, right.
- 24:44Speaker 11: Uh So, with that being said, with them taking a
- 24:47Speaker 11: look at him, how much preseason do you think he's
- 24:52Speaker 11: going to get in as far as since since they
- 24:55Speaker 11: are kind of you know, starting, I mean, they're they're
- 25:00Speaker 11: depending on him big time. So how do you think
- 25:03Speaker 11: they're going to treat him in the preseason.
- 25:04Speaker 2: It's a good question, you know, I think I think
- 25:09Speaker 2: a lot of that will kind of be determined by
- 25:11Speaker 2: what we see in this first couple of weeks. I think,
- 25:15Speaker 2: what what does he what kind of step does it
- 25:18Speaker 2: look like he's taking?
- 25:20Speaker 3: I see the guys.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Him, Is he and Micah meeting at the quarterback every play?
- 25:24Speaker 11: You know?
- 25:24Speaker 2: Is he having that? And also who's behind him? What's
- 25:27Speaker 2: the backups look like? What do you want to see
- 25:29Speaker 2: from there? But if he if if if Sam's got
- 25:32Speaker 2: these days were you know, it's not so great here
- 25:35Speaker 2: and it's not it's not so great there and and
- 25:37Speaker 2: you know, and you need to see more consistency, see
- 25:40Speaker 2: what happens when the lights come on. Then then maybe
- 25:42Speaker 2: it is a situation where where he does.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Play a little bit.
- 25:46Speaker 2: But I that's a good question. He's one of those
- 25:49Speaker 2: tweener guys that I think might play some. It just
- 25:52Speaker 2: depends on who they're playing around him, right and.
- 25:55Speaker 11: And you know, and like I said, the fact is
- 25:58Speaker 11: they are it would seem that they are kind of
- 26:00Speaker 11: depending on him now with everything that's happened. So yeah,
- 26:04Speaker 11: just want to get that in buddy.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I mean I think that that's he's he's right there
- 26:09Speaker 2: on the on the fringe. And and that's just gonna
- 26:11Speaker 2: come down to what do they do as their starters,
- 26:14Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if if it's like this, it's like,
- 26:17Speaker 2: you know, you don't want on offense, you wouldn't play
- 26:20Speaker 2: all your receivers and your running backs if you're not
- 26:22Speaker 2: gonna play your own line, you know, I mean, or
- 26:24Speaker 2: you're definitely gonna play your quarterback or if you're not
- 26:25Speaker 2: gonna play your line, and and the same could be
- 26:27Speaker 2: said for defense. You know, if you're gonna make a
- 26:29Speaker 2: commitment to the starters for a little bit. Then he's
- 26:31Speaker 2: in there. But I don't know if he if he
- 26:33Speaker 2: goes longer than than others, maybe because like I said,
- 26:38Speaker 2: I mean, he's still a player. You want to see
- 26:39Speaker 2: a little bit more out of and But but you
- 26:42Speaker 2: you said this about pressure with him, you know, he's
- 26:44Speaker 2: asked for it. This is what he's been. He's been
- 26:47Speaker 2: tweeting things, you know. I mean, Michael's Twitter gets gets,
- 26:50Speaker 2: you know, put out there a lot. But like what
- 26:52Speaker 2: about what about Sam. He's throwing some stuff out there
- 26:55Speaker 2: that he's caged animal and let him out and all
- 26:58Speaker 2: this stuff.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Hey you're out, you're out.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Go go attack, Go attack somebody, not somebody, but go
- 27:03Speaker 2: attack a quarterback. I mean, that's it's it. I mean,
- 27:05Speaker 2: you've been asking for it. It's your it's your spot.
- 27:07Speaker 2: They didn't re sign Doran's armstrong. They let you know,
- 27:11Speaker 2: Fowler go Hey, it's up to you. So yeah, the
- 27:13Speaker 2: pressure is there. I mean, but it's also a second
- 27:16Speaker 2: round pick. I mean, he's a second round pick that
- 27:18Speaker 2: it's your time to play. So this is it's a
- 27:20Speaker 2: good it's a good moment for him, a good opportunity,
- 27:22Speaker 2: all right, let's go David in Fort Worth. Good.
- 27:27Speaker 7: What's going on?
- 27:27Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 27:29Speaker 10: Good?
- 27:29Speaker 16: Man?
- 27:29Speaker 7: Hey, I'm I'm at the gym right now, just mid set.
- 27:32Speaker 16: Man.
- 27:32Speaker 7: I just threw the dumbbells down. They hit some old lady.
- 27:35Speaker 11: On the floor.
- 27:35Speaker 7: She punched me in the face regardless I was calling in. Man,
- 27:38Speaker 7: I'll try my best to get in.

- 27:48Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, dumbell bench rush.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Okay.
- 27:52Speaker 7: I'm a core fellow, though, man, it don't it don't
- 27:53Speaker 7: got a long way to trouble. I'm a short fellow.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Oh I that's that's true. I mean that's true.
- 27:58Speaker 2: But uh, I mean I think I think when you
- 28:00Speaker 2: say that, I think there's a sniff, you know, like
- 28:03Speaker 2: you know.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Fifteen, you know, light day.
- 28:07Speaker 2: I love how you said light day, all right, something

- 28:11Speaker 16: So don't have for video evidence?
- 28:13Speaker 2: I think I weren't you the one that took a
- 28:15Speaker 2: picture of in your closet of the of the That
- 28:18Speaker 2: doesn't sound good. But the picture of the storyline, the
- 28:20Speaker 2: storyline T shirt. You know you tell me that you

- 28:31Speaker 7: You know, you know, I know, man, Hey, I don't.
- 28:33Speaker 16: I don't have a whole lot to contribute to the show.
- 28:36Speaker 16: One thing that I do want to say is while
- 28:38Speaker 16: you were gone, I'm sure maybe you caught it, you
- 28:40Speaker 16: saw it. But yeah, the community, we're we're we're still
- 28:43Speaker 16: holding it down though, we're having our groups and everything
- 28:45Speaker 16: like that.
- 28:45Speaker 7: We were talking a lot of talk about who's gonna
- 28:47Speaker 7: sign when, what's gonna sign what, and who deserves what.
- 28:50Speaker 7: All I know is what we deserve. We deserve football
- 28:53Speaker 7: and it's back, and I'm pumped and and hey, that's
- 28:56Speaker 7: as far as I can go, David. One thing that
- 28:57Speaker 7: I will say, one thing that yes.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Yes, let me ask you though, because if I let
- 29:02Speaker 2: you go and then try to talk about it, I'll
- 29:03Speaker 2: probably mess up the lingo and all that. So just
- 29:06Speaker 2: so on to talk about it's on Twitter X whatever
- 29:11Speaker 2: you call it.
- 29:12Speaker 3: It's the community.
- 29:13Speaker 2: It's called Cowboys Storyliners and and do you guys would y'all.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Y'all do those chats? What do you call those things?
- 29:21Speaker 16: Yeah, so I'm not even really sure what it's called.
- 29:23Speaker 16: It's like a space or something like that. Dylan Dylan Dylan'
- 29:27Speaker 16: is the one who set it up. Irene is a
- 29:29Speaker 16: mod or another admin on it. And basically what we
- 29:31Speaker 16: do is and what I imagine is going to happen Nick,
- 29:34Speaker 16: is We're going to listen to the show and some
- 29:35Speaker 16: people aren't going to be able to get in.
- 29:36Speaker 7: You know why, because you're a popular guy and it's
- 29:38Speaker 7: a popular show. And if you can't get in, and
- 29:40Speaker 7: if you can't.
- 29:40Speaker 16: Come in and you can't show your thoughts, come on
- 29:42Speaker 16: over to X, come on over to Twitter, join.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Like that after show, like the after party.
- 29:45Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely what it is. And then we can get
- 29:48Speaker 7: on there and.
- 29:48Speaker 16: We could talk crap about Nick about how he's wrong,
- 29:51Speaker 16: and he won't even know, you.
- 29:52Speaker 13: Know what I'm saying.
- 29:52Speaker 2: So yeah, but remember I'm a moderator too. Now I
- 29:56Speaker 2: can jump in on those two and I can be like, oh, really,
- 29:58Speaker 2: who's talking. I'm a kidd but that's true. I'm not
- 30:02Speaker 2: I'm not always I'm not right about stuff all the
- 30:04Speaker 2: time either. I mean, like that's I say this all
- 30:06Speaker 2: the time. It's my opinion. Is my opinion. It's not
- 30:09Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't always I mean, it's not always true,
- 30:12Speaker 2: is it. I mean, you guys aren't wrong. I'm not
- 30:14Speaker 2: always right.
- 30:15Speaker 3: It it happens, I mean.
- 30:16Speaker 2: But but so I love that I was able to
- 30:19Speaker 2: join those spaces one time and jumped on with you
- 30:21Speaker 2: guys for twenty twenty five minutes or so.
- 30:23Speaker 3: It was fun. I just wanted to throw that out there.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Guys that aren't on it yet, if you're on Twitter,
- 30:28Speaker 2: try to check out the Storyline community and be a
- 30:32Speaker 2: part of that. You guys talk about things all the time.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Sometimes on Twitter. Sometimes you get on there. It's like
- 30:36Speaker 2: a phone call, and it's really fun, fun little chat
- 30:38Speaker 2: for everybody.
- 30:39Speaker 7: Absolutely, i'd have one one quick question.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Sure, did the same.
- 30:43Speaker 16: Guy who repaired Gallup Faco did he repair digs?
- 30:49Speaker 3: Probably?
- 30:50Speaker 2: Probably, I don't.
- 30:51Speaker 7: I don't really know how it works.
- 30:52Speaker 16: I wasn't sure if you did, because you know, Gallup
- 30:54Speaker 16: obviously just retired. A lot of people would argue that
- 30:56Speaker 16: he wasn't the same guy after the surgery. Of course,
- 30:59Speaker 16: I have a lot of people should read How you
- 31:00Speaker 16: take care of yourself afterwards, and then of course the
- 31:02Speaker 16: mental but that's just something that kind of sent a
- 31:04Speaker 16: little shiver down my spine.
- 31:07Speaker 3: What about steel though, you know, what about what but over.
- 31:10Speaker 7: Different but a little bit of different. But well, all
- 31:12Speaker 7: of a sudden, we're gonna see.
- 31:14Speaker 16: But what position?
- 31:14Speaker 2: No cornerback?
- 31:16Speaker 16: Man, you got to react, you know, it's a lot
- 31:17Speaker 16: more explosive.
- 31:19Speaker 2: I mean, I mean the Cowboys got I mean I
- 31:21Speaker 2: saw a story the other day, so it is John
- 31:24Speaker 2: Stevens and over shown David Durden. I mean, they're like
- 31:28Speaker 2: they're like friends now, you know, because they all got
- 31:31Speaker 2: an injury at the same time and they rehab together,
- 31:33Speaker 2: and then they're all like really good friends, close friends,
- 31:35Speaker 2: and we're going to see about all three of those
- 31:36Speaker 2: guys too. So yeah, I mean, no injury is the same,
- 31:40Speaker 2: you know. And you mentioned that about Gallup. I was
- 31:43Speaker 2: gonna talk about that too, you know Gallup. You know,
- 31:48Speaker 2: I'm not super surprised, really, I just I don't know
- 31:52Speaker 2: if it was the injury or what. But you know,
- 31:55Speaker 2: it sounds like, you know, he's saying his heart really
- 31:57Speaker 2: wasn't in it, and and I could see that, you know,
- 32:00Speaker 2: It's it's something you could see he he he you
- 32:04Speaker 2: always wanted to see a little bit more dog out
- 32:06Speaker 2: of him. That wasn't him, That wasn't.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Who he was. He was a really really good guy.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And uh and sometimes your greatest asset could be your
- 32:13Speaker 2: downfall sometimes a football player.
- 32:16Speaker 3: But but but who knows.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I mean, you know, people retire and then retire all
- 32:20Speaker 2: the time, and who who who knows if that if
- 32:23Speaker 2: that is the case.
- 32:23Speaker 3: But we wish him the best.
- 32:26Speaker 7: But hey, I appreciate you taking my call. I hope
- 32:28Speaker 7: that CAP's doing well because.
- 32:29Speaker 16: I know you were a high level athlete before the injury.
- 32:31Speaker 16: Hope the cab is doing well. So you know, hey,
- 32:34Speaker 16: fory liners on Twitter, you guys come join. We're gonna

- 32:51Speaker 2: Actually I do know false that not not the case.
- 32:54Speaker 2: But I'll say this, I do have a different appreciation
- 32:57Speaker 2: for the calf injury now. So when I keep hearing
- 32:59Speaker 2: people like Kevin get back what's right to Cap, I'm like, hey,
- 33:02Speaker 2: don't rush them, Okay, I get it, because those things
- 33:05Speaker 2: will lead to an achilles injury if you don't, if
- 33:07Speaker 2: you don't get that thing back in time. But I
- 33:10Speaker 2: do want him to get back on that dream team
- 33:13Speaker 2: because I mean, man, they need to score some points.
- 33:16Speaker 11: There.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Having some issues making me worried a little bit about that,
- 33:18Speaker 2: but I'll say this and we can talk about that.
- 33:20Speaker 2: I can't wait for the Olympics. I love the Olympics.
- 33:23Speaker 2: I always have since I was a kid of sports.

- 35:48Speaker 2: Do you where do you think they stay in?
- 35:50Speaker 11: Well?
- 35:51Speaker 9: I'm a positive thinker. I'm always like yeah, so stick.
- 35:57Speaker 9: You know when I hear these people talk about a
- 36:00Speaker 9: player player saying yeah, they're not gonna signed, They're not
- 36:03Speaker 9: gonna be able to I just gave the positive things again, thinking, yeah,
- 36:06Speaker 9: I know I will get the cdo get signed, Dak
- 36:09Speaker 9: will get saying this offensive line is gonna be good,
- 36:12Speaker 9: Jill and good. I think Drighton will start, but I'm
- 36:15Speaker 9: not sure when, but I know he will start.
- 36:18Speaker 10: Hopefully it's game one, yeah.
- 36:21Speaker 9: Yeah, right, hopefully we get somebody. Uh yeah you know
- 36:25Speaker 9: that the tackle area.
- 36:27Speaker 2: All right, Well thanks for the call, Rick, appreciate it.
- 36:30Speaker 2: You know one thing I think you got to remember too,
- 36:32Speaker 2: is when you're talking about what happened last year, I mean, see, okay, CD,
- 36:36Speaker 2: what happens is has hurt this team?
- 36:38Speaker 3: Is he not here?
- 36:39Speaker 2: You know?
- 36:39Speaker 3: What?
- 36:39Speaker 2: What are the bad things about him not being here
- 36:42Speaker 2: with Dak Prescott and I think what you got to
- 36:43Speaker 2: remember too, don't forget the part about Zach Martin last year,
- 36:47Speaker 2: same thing. But you know when things happened in the offseason,
- 36:50Speaker 2: or when when had injuries happen during the season, what
- 36:54Speaker 2: happened with TJ. Bass, what happened with brock Hoffman. They
- 36:56Speaker 2: weren't bad. They were able to come in, step right
- 36:59Speaker 2: in and play well.
- 36:59Speaker 13: Well.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Wonder why who what do you think was happening when
- 37:02Speaker 2: Zach Martin was in here? They had some guy, they
- 37:04Speaker 2: got a lot of reps. So that's the positive thing
- 37:07Speaker 2: that can come out of this thing. What can happen
- 37:09Speaker 2: here when CD's not here, CD's not here? Who steps up?
- 37:13Speaker 2: Is it tober is it? Is it Jalen Brooks? You know?
- 37:16Speaker 2: Is it Ryan Floornoy? Who can can actually come in
- 37:18Speaker 2: here and make some of these plays and kind of
- 37:20Speaker 2: take advantage of the extra opportunity that they're getting. That's
- 37:24Speaker 2: always a good thing. That's something that you got to
- 37:26Speaker 2: be excited about as well. All right, Chris text put
- 37:31Speaker 2: the phone number on here again, or so we can
- 37:33Speaker 2: we can I can throw that back out there. Typically
- 37:35Speaker 2: it's a different phone number than what it's been before.
- 37:37Speaker 2: I think our lines are open as we stand right now.
- 37:41Speaker 2: We got a few more minutes before we can wrap
- 37:43Speaker 2: this up. But yeah, it's you know, that's always something.
- 37:48Speaker 2: I'm a positive thinker too, you know, I'm somebody that
- 37:50Speaker 2: that's gonna think of what is the the positive news
- 37:54Speaker 2: we can take from this, you know, because I think
- 37:56Speaker 2: CD is gonna be fine.
- 37:57Speaker 3: CD.
- 37:58Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he'll get here, him and Doc there,
- 38:00Speaker 2: gonna have a good report together. You gotta remember they
- 38:02Speaker 2: didn't have a great report early in the year. They
- 38:04Speaker 2: got it together next thing. You know, he's set in records.
- 38:06Speaker 2: So yeah, he'll he'll get here. He'll get here when
- 38:09Speaker 2: he's here, hopefully, and it'll be on good terms because
- 38:14Speaker 2: you know, he can get a fine. Like the fines
- 38:16Speaker 2: for him are I think it's around forty thousand a
- 38:20Speaker 2: day for CD not being here. And then here's the
- 38:24Speaker 2: big one though, it's like if you miss as a
- 38:26Speaker 2: preseason game, a game he wouldn't even play, it's a
- 38:30Speaker 2: game check. His salary is like seventeen eighteen million a year.
- 38:36Speaker 2: So I'm not great at math, but I know if
- 38:38Speaker 2: it's about seventeen million, eighteen million, and there's eighteen weeks
- 38:41Speaker 2: in the season. That's a cold million every week.
- 38:45Speaker 3: So you miss the Rams.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Game on August eleventh or whatever, you're looking at like
- 38:51Speaker 2: a million dollar fine. Now, because he is in the
- 38:55Speaker 2: first contract, his rookie deal, those fines could be so
- 39:02Speaker 2: he he if they if they play nice and they
- 39:05Speaker 2: finally come to an agreement and all this stuff, technically
- 39:08Speaker 2: they could wave the fines at the end. Uh So
- 39:11Speaker 2: it may be all for not there. But as it
- 39:14Speaker 2: stands right now, you don't have to do that, all right.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Two one four three eight seven one six five nine.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I believe that's right. Two one four three three three
- 39:25Speaker 2: seven sixteen fifty nine. I apologize that it's a super
- 39:29Speaker 2: glary out here that even that didn't even looks right.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Let me try that again. Two one four three eight
- 39:34Speaker 2: seven sixteen fifty nine. I'm gonna write this down because
- 39:38Speaker 2: this will be our number for the entire camp, and
- 39:42Speaker 2: this is the one we want you guys to send
- 39:44Speaker 2: stuff out to us. All right, here we go. Victor
- 39:47Speaker 2: in Houston's our next caller, Victor, what's up, hey, Nick?
- 39:51Speaker 17: I've been listening to you for a long time, since
- 39:54Speaker 17: before lunch break.
- 39:55Speaker 14: I know you had a couple of shows before that.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Four lunch.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Usual, the Night at the Ranch with Mickey.
- 40:03Speaker 3: Let me tell me what's the Victor.
- 40:08Speaker 17: Well, just me and my dad have been fans of
- 40:10Speaker 17: you for a long time, and the cowboys want to
- 40:13Speaker 17: give a quick shout out to him George bett Is
- 40:15Speaker 17: and I guess my my question is what position battles
- 40:19Speaker 17: are you looking forward to? Especially you know all these
- 40:21Speaker 17: contracts all we're gonna you just kind of talked about
- 40:24Speaker 17: you're gonna see a lot of young players get more
- 40:27Speaker 17: practice time.
- 40:28Speaker 14: So what position battle you most looking forward to?
- 40:30Speaker 2: All right, that's a that's a good question. You got
- 40:32Speaker 2: another question? Or are we going to hang up and listen?
- 40:36Speaker 9: I'm gonna hang up.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate the call. Thanks for that.
- 40:39Speaker 2: First sounds like first time caller as well, if at
- 40:42Speaker 2: least for a first time in a while.
- 40:43Speaker 3: So here we go with Victor. All right, position battle, but.
- 40:48Speaker 2: You know, center is one where it's like it's it
- 40:52Speaker 2: seems really fifty to fifty. You know, I think about
- 40:54Speaker 2: what it could be beb It could be Hoffmann, maybe
- 40:56Speaker 2: Bassill throw in there. Maybe he thinks it's a you know,
- 40:59Speaker 2: he's a it's a three person racing. It could be,
- 41:01Speaker 2: but uh, that's one where it's really up in the air.
- 41:04Speaker 2: I left tackle. I think Tyler Geyiton has got to
- 41:07Speaker 2: be the guy, and if he struggles mightily, then maybe
- 41:10Speaker 2: they'll they'll change it out. But I just think he's
- 41:12Speaker 2: got to learn on the run. Your first round pick.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Throw him out there. Now.
- 41:17Speaker 3: You know why you could say, well, why didn't they
- 41:19Speaker 3: do it with Mazzi?
- 41:20Speaker 2: Well, Jonathan Hankins was there, and Osa is there and
- 41:23Speaker 2: Gallimore was there last year, and I mean you had
- 41:25Speaker 2: you had just way better players, but you drafted Tyler
- 41:30Speaker 2: Geyiton in the first round because he has a lot
- 41:33Speaker 2: of upside. But he's also ready. You know, he'll be
- 41:36Speaker 2: ready to go. I mean he's ready to play right now.
- 41:39Speaker 2: So I think I think that's why you got to
- 41:41Speaker 2: do it.
- 41:41Speaker 6: Now.
- 41:41Speaker 2: Another position battle I'm looking at is his running back,
- 41:45Speaker 2: you know his zeke really the starters, is he the guy?
- 41:47Speaker 2: If not? Is Rico dawdling there? About Royce Freeman, I mean,
- 41:50Speaker 2: Malie Davis. I'll see what Duce Svaughn's got, Snooke Connor
- 41:53Speaker 2: and go down the list Hunter Lipkey, that's gonna be
- 41:56Speaker 2: fun to watch, you know, who kind of emerges there.
- 41:58Speaker 2: And that's one of those things that will happen in
- 42:00Speaker 2: a preseason game because every run out here will be
- 42:05Speaker 2: a touchdown. Every run they get stuffed for a two
- 42:08Speaker 2: yard loss and swallowed up at the you know by
- 42:11Speaker 2: the OsO Odigga's got him. The next thing, you know,
- 42:14Speaker 2: they still break off and they run eighty yards, you know,
- 42:16Speaker 2: and mess up the whole drill and they get back.
- 42:19Speaker 2: But that's what they're taught to do and all that.
- 42:20Speaker 2: So every every play looks like a run to the
- 42:23Speaker 2: house doesn't always happen that way. So I like to
- 42:26Speaker 2: see that, you know, who can who can shed contact,
- 42:28Speaker 2: who can make plays like that. Running back is certainly
- 42:31Speaker 2: a position that I'm looking at there. And then you know,
- 42:35Speaker 2: i mean, every every spot has backups, uh there. You know,
- 42:39Speaker 2: like what about tight end? You know, tight end is
- 42:43Speaker 2: gonna be very competitive. I mean, you've got three years
- 42:46Speaker 2: in a row. You had an undrafted rookie that seems
- 42:49Speaker 2: like they were a difference maker. You know, Peyton hendershot
- 42:52Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, and then John Stevens was
- 42:54Speaker 2: supposed to be he had a good camp, really good camp,
- 42:56Speaker 2: and then he got hurt. Uh, he should be back.
- 42:59Speaker 2: And then you've got Brevin s van Ford now the
- 43:02Speaker 2: rookie from Minnesota. Watch out for Alec Holler. He's from UCF.
- 43:07Speaker 2: He's got some he's got some skill as well. He
- 43:09Speaker 2: doesn't have the same kind of measurables. He's like six ' four.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I may hate to say that's short. It's certainly not,
- 43:13Speaker 2: but you know, it doesn't stand out as much as
- 43:16Speaker 2: like a span Ford at six seven. But either way,
- 43:19Speaker 2: tight end's gonna be fun because they're they're gonna be
- 43:21Speaker 2: pushing scoon Maker, you know, and they're all gonna be
- 43:23Speaker 2: pushing Ferguson, and Ferguson's got something to prove too. Ferguson, Hey,
- 43:26Speaker 2: great year. You made it to the Pro Bowl. Can

- 43:54Speaker 2: able to you know, push each other.
- 43:57Speaker 3: At that position.
- 43:58Speaker 2: So that's that's another position that I'm looking at there.
- 44:00Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Randy and Texarkana.
- 44:05Speaker 13: Hey, who's got two? And glad to hear from you guys.
- 44:08Speaker 3: What's up?
- 44:09Speaker 5: Man?
- 44:09Speaker 3: What's up?
- 44:11Speaker 2: I thought you said two phones at first? Two phones?
- 44:13Speaker 2: You don't see like a two phone?
- 44:14Speaker 3: Got two?
- 44:16Speaker 13: Yes, I've been on the phone. I've been calling and
- 44:21Speaker 13: calling and calling, and then I realized I was calling
- 44:23Speaker 13: your Dallas number and not your new number. So I'm
- 44:26Speaker 13: glad you told Chris and put that back up there,
- 44:28Speaker 13: or yeah, you actually repeated it, so I got You.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Know what's really funny about this, Randy, is that I
- 44:34Speaker 2: said this to Chris yesterday. I said, you know what's funny,
- 44:37Speaker 2: there's gonna be some person that'll just be calling there
- 44:41Speaker 2: and bothering Jazz back at the office there, just ringing there.
- 44:44Speaker 3: Someone's gonna do that.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Why I didn't put that on you, I'm not sure
- 44:48Speaker 2: because I mean, if I said, Chris, who do you
- 44:51Speaker 2: think it'll be, he'd be like Randy.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Yeah, Randy, what's up?
- 44:55Speaker 13: You know who else is just like me? You are?
- 44:59Speaker 13: There was a you're driving behind you for the first
- 45:01Speaker 13: ten minutes of this show. You never turned around and
- 45:03Speaker 13: checked up felt one time.
- 45:04Speaker 2: That is not true. I checked on it like eight
- 45:07Speaker 2: I took it like eight times. I'm like, what in
- 45:10Speaker 2: the hell are they doing? Like eight times in a row,
- 45:13Speaker 2: like like, I mean, I don't understand that part, is it?
- 45:16Speaker 2: Like are you fertilizing the inZone?
- 45:19Speaker 3: I mean, like, what what was happening here? Yeah?
- 45:21Speaker 2: And I'm really glad that it's quiet now when we're
- 45:24Speaker 2: about to end the show. That's cool because it was
- 45:26Speaker 2: pretty quiet for an hour and a half before. But
- 45:28Speaker 2: right when we kicked this thing up and the lights
- 45:30Speaker 2: came on and I said, welcome to Fine.
- 45:32Speaker 13: Yeah, and get used to it because it's always a
- 45:35Speaker 13: leaf blower guy or somebody.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Like always yeah, forever. That's it.
- 45:40Speaker 14: I have.
- 45:41Speaker 13: I have missed y'all. It's been boring. I'll tell you what.
- 45:44Speaker 13: I don't have any football stuff. Let everybody else talk
- 45:46Speaker 13: about football. I wan't to talk about you guys. Okay, Uh,
- 45:49Speaker 13: the the uh little storyline deal that everybody's got on
- 45:53Speaker 13: the eggs dealing and he's been kind of walking me
- 45:55Speaker 13: through it. I feel like the old man telling the
- 45:58Speaker 13: doctors to get off the grass, you know, right. I
- 46:01Speaker 13: could quite figure it out, but he walked with it.
- 46:03Speaker 13: But it is a pretty cool thing to be able
- 46:06Speaker 13: to talk to all these people through this. And you know,
- 46:09Speaker 13: we got the guests from England. He got on there
- 46:12Speaker 13: and he knew who I was and told me not
- 46:15Speaker 13: to change the thing about myself. You know that that's
- 46:17Speaker 13: pretty wild that somebody in England knows who I am
- 46:22Speaker 13: because of me calling in to talk to you. So
- 46:24Speaker 13: I wanted to thank y'all for that, because that's pretty wild, you.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Know right right well, I mean, even if he did
- 46:30Speaker 2: ask you to change, you wouldn't.
- 46:32Speaker 7: No, I can't.
- 46:33Speaker 13: I'm kind of saying my way. Yeah, But I hope
- 46:39Speaker 13: for a good year. I hope everything's good. And uh,
- 46:42Speaker 13: you know, when Netflix is going to do a documentary
- 46:45Speaker 13: on all of y'all guys, let us see behind the
- 46:48Speaker 13: scenes on how y'all put these shows together. They did
- 46:51Speaker 13: the Cheerleader one that was just on there, and you've
- 46:54Speaker 13: seen a million of the football players. When they're gonna
- 46:57Speaker 13: get back there and let us see how y'all operate,
- 46:59Speaker 13: what y'all do well, I mean.
- 47:01Speaker 2: The fact that the yeah, it would be interesting. I
- 47:05Speaker 2: don't know if I want to sign off on that.
- 47:09Speaker 2: I'm kidding. Yeah no, but putting us in the same
- 47:12Speaker 2: category as the players and the cheerleaders like that, that's
- 47:15Speaker 2: that's pretty cool, you know.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Yeah, well do it the same way. Yeah.
- 47:20Speaker 2: Right now, Netflix is working on receiver you know or whatever.
- 47:24Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 47:25Speaker 2: Yeah, they got something on Jerry uh in the works
- 47:28Speaker 2: as well. So who knows here.
- 47:31Speaker 13: He just didn't take your cana too, but he didn't
- 47:33Speaker 13: grow by.
- 47:35Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's so much other things to do in Texas, Canada,
- 47:40Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You can't just you can't
- 47:42Speaker 2: just do it in one day. I mean you got
- 47:43Speaker 2: to get it all done there.
- 47:45Speaker 3: So yeah, that's that's cool. Yeah.
- 47:48Speaker 13: But yeah, so when I was in high school, believe
- 47:52Speaker 13: it or not, I wasn't radio on television, and and
- 47:55Speaker 13: that was as far as it ever went. I didn't
- 47:57Speaker 13: go to college like yeah, do Acord or anything. But
- 47:59Speaker 13: so you know, I'm interested in it. I like listening
- 48:02Speaker 13: to what goes on behind the scenes, what all it
- 48:04Speaker 13: takes to get all this gone, because everybody just makes
- 48:06Speaker 13: you sit down and just start talking. And I don't
- 48:09Speaker 13: realize that. You know, there's somebody that's them set all
- 48:12Speaker 13: that gear up, a million wires and figure all that out.
- 48:15Speaker 2: I'll let me just tell you this, Sometimes two things
- 48:19Speaker 2: can be true at once. I said that earlier in
- 48:21Speaker 2: the show. I'll say it again because you're right. I'm
- 48:24Speaker 2: not going to name names, but there is like one
- 48:28Speaker 2: guy that kind of walks in, sits down, and just
- 48:31Speaker 2: kind of starts talking. And then there's another guy that
- 48:34Speaker 2: actually puts all the stuff together, is testing things out
- 48:37Speaker 2: and doing that stuff.
- 48:38Speaker 3: So I'm not going to tell you who's who, but so.
- 48:40Speaker 2: I can get okay, So, yeah, there is a situation.
- 48:44Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit here and say all this hard
- 48:46Speaker 2: work to be done, seriously, dude, But the one that comes.
- 48:50Speaker 13: In and says down and just start talking, don't you
- 48:52Speaker 13: think that person kind of earned that right to be able.
- 48:55Speaker 11: To do that.
- 48:56Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.
- 48:58Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to pat myself on the back,
- 49:00Speaker 2: but I mean, honestly, I feel like I'm made. This
- 49:02Speaker 2: is what I now ask me to talk about the
- 49:04Speaker 2: presidential debate, asked me to talk about all these other
- 49:08Speaker 2: things going on in the world. I that's not my thing.
- 49:10Speaker 2: But I could sit and talk football and I could
- 49:12Speaker 2: do it my whole life, and I've kind of feel
- 49:13Speaker 2: like I'm built for this. Now, that doesn't mean I'm
- 49:15Speaker 2: right on everything. That doesn't mean my opinion is right.
- 49:18Speaker 2: But I could sit there and be as my way
- 49:19Speaker 2: through it and talk about the Cowboys and and this
- 49:22Speaker 2: is I have the luckiest job in the world.
- 49:25Speaker 3: I mean, I really do. It's awesome. Yeah, you guys,
- 49:28Speaker 3: I think.
- 49:28Speaker 13: It's awesome because I do it every day for free
- 49:30Speaker 13: and squeeze.
- 49:32Speaker 2: It and squeeze it into your time, that's the thing.
- 49:33Speaker 2: Squeeze it into your life with your other jobs and
- 49:36Speaker 2: your family and stuff like that, and squeeze your devotion
- 49:38Speaker 2: to the Cowboys into it. And I get to do
- 49:40Speaker 2: it as my job. I mean it's I'm super, super lucky.
- 49:45Speaker 13: The difference between me and you, though, is that I
- 49:47Speaker 13: am always right when.
- 49:49Speaker 3: It's fair, fair fair. I love it. I love it.
- 49:52Speaker 13: Yeah, I anyway, Yeah, all right, man, don't you got
- 49:56Speaker 13: anybody else online?
- 49:59Speaker 2: I actually do always fun talking with you, Randy. Make
- 50:01Speaker 2: it a habit to call us.
- 50:02Speaker 13: Okay, are you all gonna be a every day thing.
- 50:05Speaker 3: Where every other day we share.
- 50:07Speaker 13: Yeah, every other day.
- 50:08Speaker 2: No, I'm glad you said that this is not our
- 50:11Speaker 2: normal time. We're actually gonna go at eight am out here.
- 50:16Speaker 2: At ten am is our normal ten day. Ten am
- 50:19Speaker 2: will be our normal time during the season, and it'll
- 50:21Speaker 2: be our time. So that's one thing I do like about.
- 50:24Speaker 2: I have to get up at eight am and do
- 50:25Speaker 2: the show, so I'm gonna stay on the Dallas the
- 50:28Speaker 2: Central time zone, but it'll be eight am out here
- 50:31Speaker 2: ten o'clock Central every other every other day during the week.
- 50:36Speaker 2: So we're not starting tomorrow. Mix Shots has that eight
- 50:39Speaker 2: o'clock time slot, and then we go on Friday, and
- 50:43Speaker 2: then we'll go again on Tuesday. So I kind of
- 50:45Speaker 2: let it be known. I wasn't thrilled with the initial
- 50:48Speaker 2: schedule that had us starting on Friday and going on Tuesday,
- 50:51Speaker 2: so when there was an opening here today.
- 50:54Speaker 3: I took it.
- 50:55Speaker 2: So yeah, but yeah, we'll be going at ten o'clock
- 50:58Speaker 2: Central time every other day during the week, so we'll
- 51:02Speaker 2: have that schedule on the website for sure.
- 51:03Speaker 13: All right, ran Man, I'll try to I'll try to
- 51:06Speaker 13: bring the fun everybody else talks about football. I don't
- 51:08Speaker 13: know if you get tired of saying the same thing
- 51:10Speaker 13: over and over and over, so I try to. I'll
- 51:12Speaker 13: try to give you a little something different, not just collar, you.
- 51:16Speaker 3: Know, but you definitely do.
- 51:17Speaker 13: But all right, I got my shirt. I'll wear it
- 51:19Speaker 13: with pride. Love you guys, and hey, I'll try to
- 51:22Speaker 13: catch you in Dallas. I'm gonna come on the twenty
- 51:24Speaker 13: third because of twenty fourth for my birthday, so I'm
- 51:26Speaker 13: gonna try to. Hopefully they'll have an open practice on
- 51:28Speaker 13: the twenty third at the start and.
- 51:30Speaker 2: All right, sounds good man, appreciate it, all right. That
- 51:35Speaker 2: reminds me though, one of our schedule. We do have
- 51:38Speaker 2: a cool thing tonight. So this is our first podcast here,
- 51:41Speaker 2: but really our first like you know, official official podcast.
- 51:45Speaker 2: We kind of kick it off will be our camping
- 51:47Speaker 2: out the podcast we will do with a campfire tonight
- 51:53Speaker 2: at eight pm California time. It'll be ten o'clock live
- 51:58Speaker 2: Central and on the East Coast. I'm sorry, uh but
- 52:01Speaker 2: it's it'll all be on demand if you if you
- 52:04Speaker 2: caught it last year when we had the s'mores and
- 52:06Speaker 2: the marshmallows and it was you know, Patrick Walker doesn't
- 52:11Speaker 2: lose many battles. He lost to a marshmallow that day
- 52:15Speaker 2: for sure, and the only winner was the the microphone,
- 52:21Speaker 2: you know, because the microphone was it was basically white
- 52:24Speaker 2: because of his marshmallows. Awesome, it was really fun with
- 52:26Speaker 2: fun show. We're gonna do it again, and I don't
- 52:28Speaker 2: know if we do the marshmallows, but I know Nicole
- 52:31Speaker 2: Hutcheson is gonna host it. It'll be Nicole Patrick, Nick
- 52:35Speaker 2: Harris and berg Garcia. The four of them will be
- 52:38Speaker 2: on it tonight. It should be a lot of fun
- 52:39Speaker 2: for them. So we'll watch that, uh, and then that'll
- 52:44Speaker 2: be tonight's show as well. All right, let's go to
- 52:46Speaker 2: Johnny in a ridgeway, South Carolina. Hey, what's up man?
- 52:55Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 52:56Speaker 3: You're good?
- 52:57Speaker 18: I'm good? Hey, copy Well, just really two things, and
- 53:01Speaker 18: I don't think it's much of a secret, but I
- 53:03Speaker 18: really think Jake Ferguson's gonna explode more this year than
- 53:08Speaker 18: he than he did last year. So that's the good news,
- 53:11Speaker 18: I think. But I don't think that's a shock or
- 53:13Speaker 18: to cowboy fins. Right, But as far as the CD contract,
- 53:18Speaker 18: everybody's so off in arms about well why haven't they
- 53:20Speaker 18: signed him? Am I the only one who watched that
- 53:24Speaker 18: game against Green Bay and said, wow, this kid got
- 53:28Speaker 18: out physical and literally shut down. I can't I'm having
- 53:34Speaker 18: a hard time getting that out of my head.
- 53:36Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I you know, maybe old school, but
- 53:42Speaker 11: I mean he got pushed her own didn't like it.
- 53:45Speaker 2: Well, he didn't like it and didn't do anything about it, you.
- 53:49Speaker 11: Know, right, he didn't fight back.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Let's be fair that the team didn't. They didn't fight back.
- 53:55Speaker 2: I mean they when it was over and the advanced
- 53:59Speaker 2: scouts for the Packers were already looking at the next
- 54:01Speaker 2: game and looking at the forty nine ers and that's
- 54:03Speaker 2: when Jake Ferguson started catching passes and all this cool stuff.
- 54:06Speaker 2: But I mean they got hit in the mouth, they
- 54:08Speaker 2: didn't respond, and they got their ass kicked by the Packers,
- 54:11Speaker 2: and they and they beat them. The Packers were a
- 54:13Speaker 2: better football team. I don't care about the I don't
- 54:15Speaker 2: care about their record for all the season and all that.
- 54:18Speaker 2: When the playoffs hit, that game, it's all about who
- 54:22Speaker 2: can be tough, who can run it, who can stop
- 54:24Speaker 2: the run? And the Packers came in there and they
- 54:27Speaker 2: dominated that game. They were better, and they were better
- 54:31Speaker 2: the next week. Because the Cowboys haven't shown that they
- 54:34Speaker 2: can play the forty nine ers like that.
- 54:36Speaker 18: You know, Yeah, I don't know that we would have
- 54:39Speaker 18: gone in and played them as well as Green Bay.
- 54:41Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm not sure how that they wouldn't have
- 54:44Speaker 2: had to you know, the way it worked that they
- 54:46Speaker 2: wouldn't have had to play them. They if they won,
- 54:48Speaker 2: they would have played at home, so they wouldn't played
- 54:51Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. But either way that, you know,
- 54:53Speaker 2: they didn't the Packers. You know, we say it in boxing,
- 54:57Speaker 2: you know, styles make fights and all that, and and
- 54:59Speaker 2: the Packer have a different style that that just the
- 55:02Speaker 2: Cowboys didn't. That's they didn't match up well and that
- 55:05Speaker 2: they had to they have to get better at that.
- 55:07Speaker 2: And that's what Zimmer's here to do. That's what Kendricks
- 55:10Speaker 2: is here to do. This is what this team is
- 55:11Speaker 2: here to do. To stop the run and be better,
- 55:14Speaker 2: uh and also run football.
- 55:16Speaker 18: Don't you think the Joneses feel a little snake that
- 55:18Speaker 18: because they're like, wow, do we really call this money
- 55:22Speaker 18: into this guy?
- 55:23Speaker 17: Who?
- 55:23Speaker 18: You know? Okay, I think the critique of deck is crazy. Yeah,
- 55:31Speaker 18: but they paid guys early and gotten stung by it.
- 55:35Speaker 18: And then they saw what they saw there. And I
- 55:38Speaker 18: think I think there's I think that their gunshot. And
- 55:41Speaker 18: I don't blame them. I mean, you're talking about a
- 55:43Speaker 18: lot of money and money that's going to take away
- 55:45Speaker 18: from other people any way. You look at it, right, Uh,
- 55:49Speaker 18: you know, they they're looking at what what if I
- 55:52Speaker 18: do this and this guy turns out to be that guy?
- 55:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.
- 55:56Speaker 18: I think they're legitimately concerned about it. And that'll be you.
- 56:00Speaker 2: They should be like like, go, I don't know how
- 56:02Speaker 2: old you are and how much you go back to
- 56:04Speaker 2: the history and all that stuff. But I mean Jerry
- 56:05Speaker 2: was here, you know, and and him. They weren't paying
- 56:07Speaker 2: them at Smith and EMITTT. Smith they lost two games
- 56:10Speaker 2: and the rookie Derek Lassa couldn't do anything and they
- 56:12Speaker 2: missed them at Smith and he comes back and he
- 56:14Speaker 2: wins the MVP. So clear value Dak.
- 56:17Speaker 18: We don't have ANYMTT Smith's on her.
- 56:19Speaker 2: No, But but my point is when what happens when
- 56:21Speaker 2: Dak gets hurt? What happens to this football team? Well,
- 56:24Speaker 2: they win. We don't know that they win with Cooper Rush.
- 56:27Speaker 2: That's the problem. They they they win. So it's it
- 56:31Speaker 2: is kind of tough to say we're gonna pay Dak
- 56:33Speaker 2: all this money or whatever, because it's like, does can
- 56:36Speaker 2: they do that without him?
- 56:38Speaker 3: Is it worth it?
- 56:39Speaker 11: Is he?
- 56:40Speaker 2: And yes, yes, he's He's really really good. He had
- 56:43Speaker 2: a great season and I know that they want him
- 56:45Speaker 2: to be the guy.
- 56:46Speaker 3: But it does make it difficult.
- 56:48Speaker 2: And also it's it's always tough to pay a player
- 56:50Speaker 2: for what they're going to do versus what they have done.
- 56:53Speaker 3: And what does that cut off?
- 56:55Speaker 7: There?
- 56:55Speaker 3: So a very tough decision.
- 56:57Speaker 2: They got three of them to make, and then and
- 56:59Speaker 2: then what that does to the rest, I'm not really sure.
- 57:02Speaker 18: Just remember john already didn't win his Super Bowl, so
- 57:05Speaker 18: the very end of his.
- 57:06Speaker 2: Career, when they got a running game, when they got
- 57:08Speaker 2: a really good runner, you know, So yeah, I think,
- 57:11Speaker 2: all right, Johnny appreciate that. All Right, we're gonna we're
- 57:14Speaker 2: gonna wrap it up right now because it is time
- 57:16Speaker 2: to get this thing going. We got a couple of
- 57:19Speaker 2: other things that I've got to rush off to. So
- 57:21Speaker 2: but this has been so much fun. I'm so glad
- 57:23Speaker 2: we were able to do this. I I can't thank
- 57:26Speaker 2: Chris enough for his ability to get this thing going.
- 57:29Speaker 2: I know he had some some uh some nights here
- 57:33Speaker 2: before we even got to Auksnar where he was kind
- 57:35Speaker 2: of concerned and how was all gonna shake out? But
- 57:38Speaker 2: he he can do it. He can fix anything, and
- 57:40Speaker 2: he did. He got these two lines going. We were
