- 0:05Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:07Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:14Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline, brought you by Gillette, the official
- 0:20Speaker 3: razor of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Here's Nick Eatman. All right, welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm
- 0:30Speaker 4: Nick Eatman. It is Wednesday, August something. I don't even
- 0:35Speaker 4: know what day it is, August twenty seventh. I know
- 0:38Speaker 4: this is the first day of the new schedule. So
- 0:42Speaker 4: ten am. From here on out, on every day that
- 0:47Speaker 4: we have podcasts, there's gonna be holidays and things like that,
- 0:49Speaker 4: travel days where we don't have one, but when we
- 0:52Speaker 4: have an actual podcast day, we're going this time ten
- 0:57Speaker 4: a m. Dallas time. All right, let's talk about the
- 1:02Speaker 4: Cowboys and Eagles, because we're about a week away. We're
- 1:05Speaker 4: a week away from traveling to Philadelphia. The game will
- 1:08Speaker 4: be obviously a week from tomorrow, and I know you
- 1:11Speaker 4: guys seem pretty confident about it and at least excited
- 1:15Speaker 4: about you know what could happen when the Cowboys take
- 1:18Speaker 4: Philly take the field there in Philly. I know that
- 1:22Speaker 4: you know they're the defending champs. There's going to be
- 1:24Speaker 4: the rings and all that stuff. But you know, this
- 1:27Speaker 4: team would be better if it has Mic on the field, obviously,
- 1:30Speaker 4: but still I don't think they're going to be scared
- 1:32Speaker 4: of the offense. Should be ready to go. And then
- 1:35Speaker 4: we're all excited about seeing that the Cowboys cut down
- 1:38Speaker 4: the roster yesterday and fifty three players are still going
- 1:41Speaker 4: to be some moving parts there. You would imagine Schottenheimer
- 1:44Speaker 4: called it the second draft, I think, and talking about
- 1:48Speaker 4: different players that they may add today. So not everybody
- 1:51Speaker 4: that made the fifty three is going to be safe.
- 1:53Speaker 4: They're going to make a few changes. I'm sure we'll
- 1:57Speaker 4: have all that for you covered as the day goes on.
- 2:00Speaker 4: All right, eight A eight, eight, five, five to two
- 2:02Speaker 4: ninety seven is the number to call. And let's get
- 2:05Speaker 4: it started here. I think we have Michael and Bowling
- 2:08Speaker 4: Green as he first.
- 2:09Speaker 5: Michael, yep, yep, yep, yep. Let's say, all right, we
- 2:12Speaker 5: got to get the least ten callers, so I'm gonna
- 2:14Speaker 5: make it quick. Okay, all right, mister sportswriter extraordinary, I
- 2:19Speaker 5: got a question for you. I want your opinion. After
- 2:23Speaker 5: the Cowboys start off by beating the Eagles for the
- 2:26Speaker 5: rest of the season, what does Shody need to happen
- 2:31Speaker 5: to be considered a successful season for him as his
- 2:36Speaker 5: first year his head make the playoffs.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Got to make the playoffs. I mean, I think that
- 2:42Speaker 4: would be a successful season. That would be better than
- 2:44Speaker 4: what you did before. I don't think just having a
- 2:47Speaker 4: winning record. I don't think at nine to eight record
- 2:50Speaker 4: and not making the playoffs is considered that successful. But
- 2:52Speaker 4: I think if he makes the playoffs, I think that
- 2:54Speaker 4: would be very successful for him.
- 2:57Speaker 5: So what about winning at least at least win in
- 3:01Speaker 5: the first game or is it just making the playoffs?
- 3:06Speaker 4: Do they are? They making the playoffs at at at
- 3:08Speaker 4: ten and seven as the seventh seed and they go
- 3:10Speaker 4: to us on the road and play a number two
- 3:13Speaker 4: seed in Minnesota and lose, I mean I did. We'll
- 3:17Speaker 4: see what happens. I mean, I think I think right now,
- 3:19Speaker 4: this is a team that a losing record and didn't
- 3:21Speaker 4: make the playoffs, and therefore they needed a change. So
- 3:24Speaker 4: then they got Brian Schottenheimer. They've come in here, and
- 3:27Speaker 4: let's see what happened. We don't we don't know what
- 3:29Speaker 4: the season is going to look like. We don't know
- 3:31Speaker 4: what the injuries you're gonna have to to deal with.
- 3:34Speaker 4: You know, there might be a situation where they start
- 3:36Speaker 4: out slow and get hot and sneak into the playoffs.
- 3:39Speaker 4: And you know, we don't necessarily know all that stuff,
- 3:42Speaker 4: so it's hard to say what a success is. But
- 3:44Speaker 4: I would think if you do better than what happened
- 3:47Speaker 4: last year, especially making the playoffs, that would be considered successful.
- 3:51Speaker 4: It's not the standard, but it's still a successful season
- 3:55Speaker 4: for to me, a first year head coach.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Hey, I would use to get the right answer I
- 3:59Speaker 5: had to.
- 4:03Speaker 4: It's not a right answer. It's not a right answer answer. Seriously,
- 4:06Speaker 4: some the callers might have a different opinion of what
- 4:09Speaker 4: they they call successful. But I I think when you
- 4:12Speaker 4: when when you don't make the playoffs and you make
- 4:15Speaker 4: a coaching change, you don't like the direction that you're in,
- 4:17Speaker 4: so you need a new guy to come in and
- 4:19Speaker 4: change the direction. And if you get a better record
- 4:21Speaker 4: than you had before and you make the playoffs, that
- 4:24Speaker 4: to me is the step that that's needed.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Well, Robin Vegas calls today. I want to hear his opinion.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Okay, all right, have a go see you later. All right,
- 4:35Speaker 4: let's roll. Let's go to Zach and Germany. Zach, what's up, Nick.
- 4:39Speaker 6: What's going on?
- 4:40Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 4:42Speaker 6: Good? Brother?
- 4:43Speaker 4: Good?
- 4:45Speaker 6: First, we made it, We finally made it to the
- 4:47Speaker 6: beginning of the season training over here in Germany, but
- 4:50Speaker 6: the Senate shine, we have football right on the horizon.
- 4:54Speaker 6: I want to talk to you about today is Micah
- 4:57Speaker 6: Do you think he might be getting some bad advice?
- 4:59Speaker 6: And the reason I say that normally Jerry's not the
- 5:03Speaker 6: one that's typically holding the cards. If you look at
- 5:06Speaker 6: the DAK deals where Dak really had the leverage, you know,
- 5:08Speaker 6: Micah doesn't have the leverage in this. And the longer
- 5:12Speaker 6: that this hold in kind of goes I think for me,
- 5:17Speaker 6: the more that Micah has to lose. Right, he's likely
- 5:19Speaker 6: going to start the season a little slow, one without camp,
- 5:22Speaker 6: and two if he's going to be playing limited probably
- 5:25Speaker 6: rushing downs to start the first week or two, he
- 5:27Speaker 6: might not have the stat line. But I think when
- 5:30Speaker 6: you also look bigger picture here, if he was offered
- 5:33Speaker 6: what they're saying he was offered, you know, he's a
- 5:36Speaker 6: young guy. He's going to create this generational wealth on
- 5:39Speaker 6: this contract. But he's got more contracts coming down the line.
- 5:42Speaker 6: So I want to get your perspective on that. And
- 5:44Speaker 6: then Since we're on the Micah topic, if you had
- 5:48Speaker 6: to choose with the makeup of this team, would you
- 5:50Speaker 6: rather have a Micah Parsons in his prime or maybe
- 5:53Speaker 6: a guy like Aaron Donald. I was watching the pre
- 5:56Speaker 6: season and Mazzi almost got pushed through my TV screen,
- 5:59Speaker 6: so may have probably leaned towards Donald.
- 6:01Speaker 7: But I want to hear your thoughts.
- 6:02Speaker 4: On in his prime, in his prime? Yeah, yeah, Aaron
- 6:07Speaker 4: Donald in his prime. And and there's not many. I
- 6:10Speaker 4: mean we're talking about Lawrence Taylor and who else. I
- 6:14Speaker 4: mean we're I mean, we're talking about like a three
- 6:15Speaker 4: time Defensive Player of the Year that played the defensive
- 6:19Speaker 4: tackle position where you actually got sacks. Most people just
- 6:23Speaker 4: kind of, you know, hold their ground, but he was
- 6:26Speaker 4: a guy that was able to be a dominant past
- 6:29Speaker 4: rusher from the interior.
- 6:31Speaker 8: Uh.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd go with with him than just about any player.
- 6:36Speaker 4: That's not just about Micah. I can't think of many
- 6:38Speaker 4: players that that I thought were as dominating as as
- 6:42Speaker 4: Aaron Donald. So yeah, for sure. But as far as
- 6:45Speaker 4: the Micah getting bad advice, I mean for us, you
- 6:51Speaker 4: and me and everyone listening and all that, of course,
- 6:55Speaker 4: we we nobody would understand uh, oh, fort million a
- 7:00Speaker 4: year not enough, you know, or whatever it was. I
- 7:04Speaker 4: think it was in that neighborhood of forty one million
- 7:07Speaker 4: a year, two five for five years and not taking it. So, yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 4: that's hard to grasp. And of course there's more details
- 7:16Speaker 4: involved there, but it seems like they weren't the big picture.
- 7:22Speaker 4: You know, when anybody, anybody gets a new deal, Terry
- 7:26Speaker 4: McLaurin gets a new deal, or Henderson gets something or
- 7:29Speaker 4: whatever it is. Every single time, ninety nine percent of
- 7:33Speaker 4: the time, when someone says, oh, did you see the
- 7:34Speaker 4: deal so and so got, they don't say, you know,
- 7:38Speaker 4: what was the language, what was the incentives, what was
- 7:41Speaker 4: the fifth year option? They said how much? How much
- 7:44Speaker 4: was it? How much was the deal? That's the question.
- 7:47Speaker 4: So that's the biggest part. And when you get that part,
- 7:50Speaker 4: if the story is told correctly, and it seems like
- 7:54Speaker 4: this is true that if that part is, you know,
- 7:58Speaker 4: five years and two and all that, we'll work on
- 8:01Speaker 4: some of the other stuff. The other stuff should not
- 8:03Speaker 4: be holding up the deal. Now, again, this is somebody
- 8:06Speaker 4: that wasn't in there, and we don't know all the
- 8:08Speaker 4: details of it. But usually the big, the big things are,
- 8:12Speaker 4: you know, guaranteed money, and and and what's the you know,
- 8:16Speaker 4: what's the overall you know, annual salary and and and
- 8:20Speaker 4: how long is it? Those three things right there, that's
- 8:23Speaker 4: about it. And if that thing gets settled, it's hard
- 8:25Speaker 4: to think that this thing is going to keep going on.
- 8:27Speaker 4: There might be other factors involved. So I can't tell
- 8:30Speaker 4: you the advice he's getting. All I know is it
- 8:33Speaker 4: sounds like there was a deal on the table for him.
- 8:36Speaker 4: He didn't take it. And you know, now, I don't
- 8:39Speaker 4: know what that deal looks like now. And there's been
- 8:41Speaker 4: a lot of things that have happened since then that
- 8:44Speaker 4: that that aren't favorable for him and aren't favorable for
- 8:47Speaker 4: the Cowboys. So all the way around this this hasn't
- 8:50Speaker 4: been a great situation. All right, let's go to Robbie
- 8:53Speaker 4: Koco Beach, Florida. Robbie. What's up?
- 8:55Speaker 1: What's up, buddy?
- 8:56Speaker 6: No talk?
- 8:57Speaker 7: Man, It's good to be bad.
- 8:58Speaker 4: Yeah, how are you doing.
- 9:00Speaker 7: I've been trying.
- 9:01Speaker 8: I've been good. I've been trying to get in man.
- 9:02Speaker 1: My daughter's turning six tomorrow, man, fed that's awesome.
- 9:06Speaker 4: I have a birthday to her.
- 9:07Speaker 7: Great appreciate it.
- 9:09Speaker 1: I know we're trying to keep things quick todays, let's
- 9:11Speaker 1: keep things rolling. What do you think is gonna happen
- 9:13Speaker 1: with the sets stack of one technique?
- 9:14Speaker 8: Are we going to get somebody?
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 9:17Speaker 9: And I know nobody can make any assumptions about Micah,
- 9:19Speaker 9: So what are we gonna.
- 9:20Speaker 7: Ask about that one man? Other than that, have a
- 9:23Speaker 7: good one.
- 9:23Speaker 6: Good to hear your voice.
- 9:24Speaker 7: We'll be back on soon.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Yeah, I'll just say, I mean the mic
- 9:28Speaker 4: apart is just a roller coaster that you know it. Yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 4: I feel like we're all on. You know, There's there's
- 9:36Speaker 4: times of this where I think one way and then
- 9:39Speaker 4: it goes up and down and around and I'll go
- 9:41Speaker 4: backwards and you know, I don't know, I've had different
- 9:46Speaker 4: thoughts about how I think this is going to play out. So,
- 9:52Speaker 4: you know, and you see the stuff that's being reported,
- 9:54Speaker 4: and I don't know if some of these rumors are
- 9:56Speaker 4: starting to get a little you know, start and they're
- 10:00Speaker 4: definitely surfacing and they're starting to get some legs to it.
- 10:03Speaker 4: But I don't know, it's hard. It's hard to tell
- 10:07Speaker 4: what what what could happen here? It's all a game,
- 10:10Speaker 4: It's a game of leverage back and forth. Uh sure, sure,
- 10:13Speaker 4: we're listening to trade offers and all that all the
- 10:15Speaker 4: while less get this thing done. And you know, so
- 10:18Speaker 4: there's different tactics here and and and it's hard to
- 10:21Speaker 4: to know what game is being played when you don't
- 10:24Speaker 4: know the rules. And that's that's that's the way it
- 10:26Speaker 4: is in life. So it's hard to understand this game
- 10:30Speaker 4: when you don't know exactly what what's being said behind
- 10:33Speaker 4: closed doors and all that. As for defensive tackle, well,
- 10:38Speaker 4: what Schottenheimer said about Perry and Winfrey makes me think
- 10:41Speaker 4: he's going to be here. I mean it's hard to
- 10:43Speaker 4: it's somebody's not going to be here. You know, someone
- 10:45Speaker 4: makes the fifty three man roster and then there I mean,
- 10:48Speaker 4: Shoty just said it. There's a second draft. Well someone's gone.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Then you know someone's getting cut. When when when that happens?
- 10:57Speaker 4: You know, And so there there are some guys, there
- 11:00Speaker 4: are some guys that they can move, you know. There
- 11:04Speaker 4: I think like Kaylen Carson will probably go to I R.
- 11:07Speaker 4: Phil MafA I think is going to go to I R.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Both of those ir to return. But you know C J.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Goodwin is was was cut, should should be coming back.
- 11:16Speaker 4: He could be on the practice card. There's a lot
- 11:18Speaker 4: of different things to to to figure out here, so
- 11:21Speaker 4: there's different ways they can do it. But they are
- 11:24Speaker 4: probably trying to bring a player or two in here,
- 11:26Speaker 4: which means they're going to have to create a roster
- 11:28Speaker 4: spot somehow, some way. What position that is? It could
- 11:31Speaker 4: be defensive tackle, if there could be corner. Those are
- 11:35Speaker 4: the two that I would think it's probably about it.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I mean, maybe maybe an offensive lineman that you'd like better,
- 11:41Speaker 4: maybe a tackle or so, but we'll see. All right,
- 11:44Speaker 4: let's go to William in West Virginia and William, what's up?
- 11:48Speaker 6: Nick?
- 11:49Speaker 4: Good? Good to hear from some of you guys, haven't
- 11:51Speaker 4: heard from in a while. How are you doing?
- 11:52Speaker 1: Man?
- 11:53Speaker 10: Well, I'm sorry.
- 11:56Speaker 4: I said. He you hanging in there.
- 11:59Speaker 10: I'm hanging in there. Life happens. But I try to
- 12:01Speaker 10: get in as often as I can. But you know,
- 12:03Speaker 10: I'm unfortunately working stuff, so but I do listen and
- 12:06Speaker 10: I try to get in as much as I can.
- 12:08Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 12:09Speaker 7: I as will say.
- 12:10Speaker 10: I had one question in one comment, the comment I'm
- 12:13Speaker 10: gonna wait on this Micah thing. I'm not worried about it.
- 12:16Speaker 10: I've watch I've been a Cowboys fan for over forty years.
- 12:19Speaker 10: Jerry has never lost anybody he's wanted to keep. If
- 12:23Speaker 10: he wants to keep Mikeah, he's going to be here.
- 12:25Speaker 10: When he said Cowboy fans don't lose sleep over, I
- 12:27Speaker 10: believe that. So I'm not worried about it. And that's
- 12:30Speaker 10: just my take on it. And secondly, I'm really glad
- 12:33Speaker 10: that kept til MafA. Can you explain to me how
- 12:35Speaker 10: the hour to return thing works because I know that
- 12:37Speaker 10: Mingo and Peyton Turner were put on their initially. Does
- 12:40Speaker 10: this mean he MafA could come back sooner or how
- 12:43Speaker 10: that works?
- 12:44Speaker 4: Okay, well, they did change your rule this year that
- 12:47Speaker 4: you can keep two players. You can put them onto
- 12:50Speaker 4: injured to IR to return. He can be back in
- 12:54Speaker 4: four weeks. It could be six weeks. I get that
- 12:59Speaker 4: one confused with a pup, but they I think it's
- 13:01Speaker 4: four weeks. They could be back. That they have two spots.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Anybody else that you do that with. They have to
- 13:07Speaker 4: be on the roster for one day. So Mingo and
- 13:11Speaker 4: Peyton Turner, they they already did that. They're going to
- 13:14Speaker 4: go to I R to return. They could be back
- 13:15Speaker 4: after the fourth game. Then today MafA and Carson. They've
- 13:20Speaker 4: been on the roster for a day, they can now
- 13:23Speaker 4: get placed on that and that will free up a
- 13:26Speaker 4: couple other spots, so that any other player that you
- 13:29Speaker 4: did that had to be on the roster for at
- 13:31Speaker 4: least one day.
- 13:32Speaker 10: So does that mean for four weeks for them too?
- 13:34Speaker 10: That how that works as well? Okay, so thanks for
- 13:37Speaker 10: paring that for me. Yeah, I appreciate it and great shows.
- 13:40Speaker 7: Always keep it up and I'll talk to you.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Against appreciate it. Thank you. All Right, we're rolling here,
- 13:45Speaker 4: let's keep it going for it worth go Sergeant Sue,
- 13:48Speaker 4: what's up?
- 13:49Speaker 11: What's going on?
- 13:50Speaker 12: Nick?
- 13:51Speaker 7: Everybody?
- 13:51Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 13:53Speaker 7: Well?
- 13:54Speaker 6: Good?
- 13:54Speaker 4: We got for me?
- 13:56Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 13:56Speaker 11: Man, real quick, I just want to say, Man Brooks
- 13:59Speaker 11: getting let go yesterday was kind of tough.
- 14:02Speaker 7: Man.
- 14:02Speaker 11: I got to watch him and I wasn't a big
- 14:04Speaker 11: fan of his before training camp, but getting to see
- 14:06Speaker 11: him and just how he developed and become such a
- 14:08Speaker 11: deep threat, I was really poor for the guy.
- 14:10Speaker 9: It is really unfortunate.
- 14:11Speaker 11: You know, people get cut, you know, all the time,
- 14:13Speaker 11: and it's just one of those guys. So I just
- 14:14Speaker 11: wanted to send a shout out to him. But one
- 14:16Speaker 11: other thing I want to touch on is a lot
- 14:18Speaker 11: of times, like we've heard Dak say it already, and
- 14:20Speaker 11: of course we heard coach Shott. He said, talk about,
- 14:23Speaker 11: you know, the vanilla offense and how things have been vanilla.
- 14:26Speaker 11: And I kind of feel like saying that stuff kind
- 14:28Speaker 11: of set sets you up to I mean, I guess
- 14:31Speaker 11: it can go both ways, but it kind of sets
- 14:32Speaker 11: you up to kind of look look bad week one,
- 14:35Speaker 11: you know, because you know this is all going to
- 14:37Speaker 11: be brand new, and if things aren't clicking this all
- 14:40Speaker 11: this vanilla talk is gonna sound kind of dumb, you
- 14:42Speaker 11: know what I mean. And I just wish they would,
- 14:44Speaker 11: you know, stop saying it to me. It's kind of
- 14:46Speaker 11: like when someone's like, oh, you know, I wasn't even
- 14:48Speaker 11: trying that hard, you know, out now I'm gonna try
- 14:50Speaker 11: for real. It's like, all right, brother, like whatever, you
- 14:52Speaker 11: know what I mean. I don't like to bring the negativity.
- 14:54Speaker 11: You know, I'm usually the positive guy, but that's just
- 14:55Speaker 11: something that's been rubbed me the wrong way. And I
- 14:57Speaker 11: had a question for you about the running back room.
- 15:01Speaker 10: I really wish.
- 15:01Speaker 11: Because obviously the running game is going to be something
- 15:03Speaker 11: that we have to uh that we're gonna be able
- 15:05Speaker 11: to that we're going to see for the first time
- 15:06Speaker 11: really under this new offense. So, with Davonte not playing
- 15:10Speaker 11: any of the preseason, do you feel like maybe the
- 15:13Speaker 11: injuries to like Deuce and Blue and Sanders kind of
- 15:16Speaker 11: aided to them kind of bubble wrapping him because they
- 15:19Speaker 11: didn't want him to get injured as well. And then
- 15:21Speaker 11: now you're dealing with, you know, inexperience or just a
- 15:23Speaker 11: very stand running back room or do you feel like
- 15:25Speaker 11: that was the plan all along? So that's just my
- 15:28Speaker 11: question to you.
- 15:29Speaker 7: Brother.
- 15:29Speaker 11: I'll keep it quick. I know that we want to
- 15:30Speaker 11: go through and I appreciate you for taking my car.
- 15:32Speaker 4: Brother, appreciate it. Uh you know the Yeah, I think
- 15:36Speaker 4: that Davonte Williams was was the guy from the start.
- 15:41Speaker 4: I mean, as the lead runner. I kind of thought
- 15:43Speaker 4: maybe Miles Sanders could come in and and and be
- 15:46Speaker 4: a better option, but I don't think they felt that way.
- 15:49Speaker 4: I think it was Davonte's job from the very beginning. Now,
- 15:54Speaker 4: Miles Sanders getting banged up, do is Vaughan getting banged up,
- 15:58Speaker 4: Jayden Blue get hurt for a little bit? I mean, yeah,
- 16:02Speaker 4: that that that probably aided in that. But you know,
- 16:05Speaker 4: if you're not going to play your quarterback, you're not
- 16:08Speaker 4: going to play most of your offensive line, your starters.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Then you know they weren't going to play the running back.
- 16:16Speaker 4: So I think that that's kind of what's what's going
- 16:19Speaker 4: on there with the with the running back situation and
- 16:22Speaker 4: kind of why they they did what they did. But
- 16:26Speaker 4: you know, I think overall, you know, as far as
- 16:29Speaker 4: being vanilla, and it kind of goes both ways. You know,
- 16:33Speaker 4: do you do you want to show your hand or not?
- 16:35Speaker 4: You want to go out there, you want to see
- 16:36Speaker 4: some some basic things from your players, but you're not
- 16:39Speaker 4: going to show all of your best stuff. And I
- 16:42Speaker 4: think you know, the Cowboys versus the Eagles, Okay, one
- 16:46Speaker 4: team won the Super Bowl, the other team had to
- 16:49Speaker 4: miss the playoffs, had a coaching change, and when they played,
- 16:53Speaker 4: I think it's seventy five thirteen. Is that the combined
- 16:57Speaker 4: score of the two games. Now, I understand Dak didn't
- 16:59Speaker 4: play either one of them. Jalen Hurdzel and played in
- 17:01Speaker 4: one of them, but seventy five to thirteen that's where
- 17:05Speaker 4: you are in two games against Philly from Lester, So
- 17:07Speaker 4: there's a huge gap there, and so talent wise, no,
- 17:12Speaker 4: I don't think the Cowboys have the talent that the
- 17:14Speaker 4: Eagles do, especially at some of the skill positions and
- 17:17Speaker 4: things like that, defense and all that. But the one
- 17:21Speaker 4: advantage that they kind of have is that Philly doesn't
- 17:24Speaker 4: have a great read of what the Cowboys are trying
- 17:27Speaker 4: to do. Now, maybe it'll take a two series to
- 17:30Speaker 4: figure it out. Maybe you know, it's not gonna be
- 17:31Speaker 4: that big deal. But all I'm saying is that's one
- 17:34Speaker 4: little thing the Cowboys do have in this situation, and
- 17:37Speaker 4: so you want to keep it, you know, so you
- 17:39Speaker 4: don't you don't want to go out and throw some
- 17:41Speaker 4: things out there and and and put those things on tape.
- 17:43Speaker 4: You don't need to do that. So you know, you
- 17:46Speaker 4: got to take every little advantage that you have, and
- 17:48Speaker 4: that might be one that the Cowboys do have. Again,
- 17:51Speaker 4: I'm not saying that the Eagles can't can't figure it out,
- 17:54Speaker 4: and you know they'll they'll they'll know right away what
- 17:57Speaker 4: the Cowboys are trying to do. But you know, maybe
- 17:59Speaker 4: it's nothing, Dallas, maybe it's ten nothing. You know, maybe
- 18:02Speaker 4: it's they're enough where they can hang in the game
- 18:05Speaker 4: for a little bit. And that's where I think we
- 18:07Speaker 4: we are. I mean, you know, there are zero and
- 18:09Speaker 4: zero like everyone else. But I mean, all we're going
- 18:12Speaker 4: off of is what we saw last year. And I'm
- 18:14Speaker 4: sure Philadelphia is going to be a really good team
- 18:16Speaker 4: and that place has always been tough to play, so
- 18:18Speaker 4: it's going to be rowdy and exciting for them, so
- 18:21Speaker 4: it's going to be a great atmosphere. But I'm saying,
- 18:24Speaker 4: you know, I like the fact that the Cowboys have
- 18:26Speaker 4: some things that they haven't shown yet that maybe you know,
- 18:28Speaker 4: some packages that that that can that can help them
- 18:30Speaker 4: once we get out there. All right, let's go to
- 18:32Speaker 4: Joe in New York.
- 18:35Speaker 8: Hey, Matt cow are you sir?
- 18:37Speaker 4: How are you doing? Man?
- 18:38Speaker 8: I'm doing great, Man. Another year upon us. Cowboy football
- 18:42Speaker 8: always a good time of year. I got you know,
- 18:44Speaker 8: you just mentioned something. I was going to mention something else,
- 18:47Speaker 8: but I just want to hit on real quick what
- 18:49Speaker 8: you mentioned. We're hoping the Cowboys could stay in the game.
- 18:53Speaker 8: And you know, when you have a franchise quarterback that
- 18:57Speaker 8: you paid sixty million dollars to right open for more
- 19:00Speaker 8: than hoping that they could stay in the game, that
- 19:04Speaker 8: what leads me to this. I don't know where you
- 19:07Speaker 8: stand on Micah Parsons. I've been a Cowboy fans in
- 19:10Speaker 8: nineteen eighty Okay, I go back.
- 19:11Speaker 7: I'm in New York.
- 19:12Speaker 8: Last time your commented on my accent, and I appreciate that, sir.
- 19:17Speaker 8: I'm a huge Cowboy fan. I've been this for a
- 19:19Speaker 8: Cowboy fan eighty I'll always be a Cowboy fan. My
- 19:23Speaker 8: question to you is this, if we're at the point
- 19:26Speaker 8: now and usually every year when we were twelve and
- 19:29Speaker 8: five for the last three years, throw out last year
- 19:31Speaker 8: because a Dak, we always had a great record against
- 19:35Speaker 8: the nfseas, right, we always usually we split with Philadelphia,
- 19:39Speaker 8: we would sweep the Giants, and we mostly would sweep
- 19:43Speaker 8: the Commanders, Okay, And that's where we had the advantage
- 19:47Speaker 8: having Dak. Was that advantage. If you're saying our talent
- 19:52Speaker 8: gap is that great between us and say the Eagles,
- 19:56Speaker 8: is it for a defense of player? And that's why
- 20:01Speaker 8: I'm asking you for Micah, Right. I think Mike is
- 20:03Speaker 8: a great player. I don't think he should transcendent player.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Okay.
- 20:07Speaker 8: If they're talking about getting two three number one picks
- 20:10Speaker 8: for him, right, and the talent gap is that far,
- 20:14Speaker 8: why would we pay him without trading him? I just
- 20:19Speaker 8: want to get your opinion on that, because if you're saying, like,
- 20:23Speaker 8: based on what you see now, we're going to be,
- 20:25Speaker 8: say five hundred or less.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I said, I didn't say that. I said the talent
- 20:29Speaker 4: between the Eagles, the world champions, and the Cowboys was
- 20:33Speaker 4: seventy five to thirteen. I don't know. I don't know
- 20:36Speaker 4: if they've closed the gap on that. I don't know
- 20:39Speaker 4: if thats the gap because I don't know the best
- 20:41Speaker 4: players on defense, Parsons and Diggs. I don't know if
- 20:44Speaker 4: they're going to play overshown those three guys, I don't
- 20:48Speaker 4: they all three might not play in this game. So
- 20:50Speaker 4: I can't tell you that they've closed the gap that much.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I didn't say anything about what their record was going
- 20:55Speaker 4: to be now don't here.
- 20:56Speaker 8: I was going to ask you then, but there, if
- 20:58Speaker 8: you look at who they're playing year, right, they're playing
- 21:02Speaker 8: other than which I think you would agree that the
- 21:06Speaker 8: division's better.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Okay, how much better?
- 21:08Speaker 8: I don't know, but they could finish fourth in the division,
- 21:12Speaker 8: right they could. My question to you is who they're
- 21:16Speaker 8: playing is probably one of the toughest schedules in the NFL.
- 21:21Speaker 8: Starting now. You don't know about injuries, and all that
- 21:23Speaker 8: other stuff. So my thing is if they moved on
- 21:27Speaker 8: from Parsons and got what is portrayed or what is
- 21:32Speaker 8: talked about, Yeah, would you have a problem with that?
- 21:36Speaker 8: Based on what you're saying? We got to get better?
- 21:38Speaker 12: Right?
- 21:39Speaker 8: So if we've got to get better, is he enough?
- 21:43Speaker 8: Just having him that's going to get us where where
- 21:46Speaker 8: all caby fins won't eventually get to.
- 21:49Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you this question, Joel, gonna ask
- 21:51Speaker 4: you this question, and this might be a loaded question,
- 21:54Speaker 4: but since you're the one on the line and you're
- 21:55Speaker 4: kind of asking, I'll throw it to you. Would you
- 21:57Speaker 4: trade Micah? I understand these players are on your team,
- 22:01Speaker 4: but would you trade Micah for the equivalent of Tyler Smith,
- 22:07Speaker 4: Mazzi Smith, and Tyler Guidon? Those three? You're getting those three?
- 22:11Speaker 6: Oh?
- 22:11Speaker 8: Yeah, of course not right, You're you're okay, okay, you mention.
- 22:15Speaker 4: It, But you know what I'm going You know, I'm
- 22:16Speaker 4: going with that because that's the that you're going to
- 22:20Speaker 4: get if you if you trade for that right now,
- 22:23Speaker 4: you're going to get something. You're going to get picks
- 22:25Speaker 4: in the twenties.
- 22:27Speaker 8: I agree with that, And what you're telling me is
- 22:30Speaker 8: I go by, then I go by this. What can
- 22:33Speaker 8: you do with that forty to forty five million? I
- 22:36Speaker 8: understand the draft picks. I'm under I'm asking you that, yeh,
- 22:40Speaker 8: would you rather load up on offense? And let's be candid,
- 22:44Speaker 8: this is an offensive league, okay? Or would you rather
- 22:48Speaker 8: pay a defensive guy who's and I love them, but
- 22:53Speaker 8: he ate Lawrence Taylor? Okay, but hey he's but he's
- 22:59Speaker 8: not him.
- 22:59Speaker 4: Okay, Lebron. Lebron's not Michael Jordan's, but he Lebron.
- 23:04Speaker 8: Let's come on, Nick, You've seen the games, and I
- 23:06Speaker 8: think I speak for a lot of Cowboys fans and
- 23:08Speaker 8: I could be a face and call me out on it,
- 23:10Speaker 8: but I seen him disappear in big games. And the
- 23:14Speaker 8: last time that defense played a big game, they got
- 23:17Speaker 8: smoked by Green Bay and he's nowhere.
- 23:19Speaker 4: To be found.
- 23:22Speaker 8: So that's you got to call it where you see it.
- 23:24Speaker 8: Are you telling me if you if he's Taylor, you
- 23:28Speaker 8: write the check. I'm not saying he shouldn't get pained.
- 23:31Speaker 8: And I think what Jerry does is, after a while,
- 23:35Speaker 8: it gets to be tiresome and I'm done with the
- 23:38Speaker 8: nonsense and the theatrics and the bs But what I'm saying
- 23:42Speaker 8: to you is, are you you have to be confident
- 23:45Speaker 8: in Will McClay and the scouting department. And if you're
- 23:49Speaker 8: telling me, for the most part they've drafted, well, yes,
- 23:52Speaker 8: they had some couple of bad players with Masie and stuff,
- 23:58Speaker 8: and I agree with that, and I agree with what
- 24:00Speaker 8: you're saying in that regard. But would it be better
- 24:04Speaker 8: to have pickens or it's a pickings tight, not just
- 24:07Speaker 8: in per se, and load up on offense when it's
- 24:11Speaker 8: an offensive league than to pay you defensive player and
- 24:15Speaker 8: just have Dak and Seed Lamb and a prayer on
- 24:20Speaker 8: offense without the skill.
- 24:21Speaker 7: Guys.
- 24:22Speaker 4: That's all I'm asking, okay, and I'll answer it. Thank you, Joe,
- 24:26Speaker 4: appreciate that.
- 24:27Speaker 8: They have great talking to you man.
- 24:29Speaker 7: Keep up the good work.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Man too, Thank you. Yeah. I mean those are questions
- 24:33Speaker 4: that cowboys are probably asking themselves. And I bet you
- 24:38Speaker 4: if you take the ten to fifteen highest ranked people
- 24:42Speaker 4: over there, the front office, you know guys, and the
- 24:45Speaker 4: scouts and all that, I guarantee you have different answers there.
- 24:48Speaker 4: I mean they are probably split within that group. There
- 24:52Speaker 4: are some that are like this, do it. I'll take
- 24:55Speaker 4: the picks especially the ones probably in the scouting department
- 24:57Speaker 4: because they like having the picks. I don't have to
- 25:00Speaker 4: deal with some of the other stuff, you know, as
- 25:03Speaker 4: far as from when the coaches might me personally though,
- 25:08Speaker 4: I when I watched the games, it's an offensive league.
- 25:12Speaker 4: Like like you said, Joe, Yeah, watching offense, that's where
- 25:15Speaker 4: the touchdowns are. It's exciting. If you're gonna have to
- 25:18Speaker 4: go and run to the restroom real quick, you probably
- 25:19Speaker 4: don't do it when you're on offense. Well, for me,
- 25:22Speaker 4: Micah made defense and must watch, must watch because it's
- 25:27Speaker 4: outstanding when he's out there, just how he can get
- 25:31Speaker 4: to the quarterback. He can change games. And they got
- 25:35Speaker 4: lucky by taking him when they did at with twelve.
- 25:39Speaker 4: I guess they got lucky there that he was still
- 25:42Speaker 4: around that nobody really thought he was a pass rusher.
- 25:45Speaker 4: If they did, they wouldn't have waited that long to
- 25:47Speaker 4: get him. And I'm not even sure the Cowboys thought
- 25:50Speaker 4: he was that until Week two of that rookie season
- 25:52Speaker 4: against the Chargers when they had to do it and
- 25:54Speaker 4: they realize, oh man, we have something here. I don't
- 25:58Speaker 4: want to trade them. You can say, oh, the forty
- 26:01Speaker 4: two million, forty three. It could go somewhere else, sure,
- 26:04Speaker 4: but I think that kind of player makes your cornerbacks better,
- 26:09Speaker 4: makes your linebackers better, makes your team better. And yeah,
- 26:14Speaker 4: they lost games. They lost games with him. He's not perfect,
- 26:17Speaker 4: but you know, and you say, he's not Lawrence Taylor, Okay,
- 26:20Speaker 4: But the fact that you're even mentioning it, and the
- 26:22Speaker 4: fact that we've been talking about Lawrence Taylor since the
- 26:25Speaker 4: moment he got here tells me that it's the same
- 26:27Speaker 4: thing that what I say about Lebron and Jordan. I mean, okay,
- 26:31Speaker 4: it's always not the same, It's always not. But damn
- 26:34Speaker 4: I'll take it. I'll take someone that's pretty close. And
- 26:37Speaker 4: that's just I just don't want to trade. I wouldn't
- 26:39Speaker 4: trade him. I just don't think you can get the value,
- 26:41Speaker 4: especially right now. If I'm have to trade Michael Parsons,
- 26:44Speaker 4: it would be after the season and before the draft,
- 26:47Speaker 4: where I know this team that wants him their pick
- 26:50Speaker 4: is in the top ten, top twelve, that's one of them,
- 26:53Speaker 4: and then next year's pick. We'll see. But I mean,
- 26:56Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not taking them to a team that's
- 26:58Speaker 4: been like the Packers, that's been in the playoffs for
- 27:01Speaker 4: two straight years that they're a better team than the Cowboys.
- 27:04Speaker 4: That they've shown that the last two years, that they're
- 27:05Speaker 4: a better team than the Cowboys. So why would you
- 27:07Speaker 4: trade them? There? And now your picks, if you get
- 27:09Speaker 4: first round picks, are going to be in the mid twenties. Yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 4: you can pack it to them, but I'm not interested
- 27:14Speaker 4: in doing that. That's me. Now are the Cowboys That's
- 27:18Speaker 4: another question. And we'll see how serious things are getting here.
- 27:21Speaker 4: We'll see what the laying on the table and the
- 27:24Speaker 4: preseason game. You know what kind of feathers that ruffled?
- 27:28Speaker 4: Because it sounds like it did. We got to take
- 27:30Speaker 4: a break here real quick on Cowboys storyline. I'll be
- 27:32Speaker 4: right back after this.

- 29:36Speaker 4: What's up man? Hello? No, No, Chris, No, I'm here,
- 29:46Speaker 4: I'm here. Nick, All right, what's up man?
- 29:50Speaker 7: Let's just put this Micah Parson stuff to refs. He's
- 29:52Speaker 7: not getting traded. There's no way, no, there's no way
- 29:56Speaker 7: Jerry's gonna trade him right now. This is all business,
- 29:59Speaker 7: it's all game, all tactics. He's gonna he He's either
- 30:03Speaker 7: gonna he's probably gonna play on the franchise tag is
- 30:06Speaker 7: my guest, or they'll sign him at the last minute.
- 30:08Speaker 7: He's not going anywhere. There's no way we're gonna trade
- 30:11Speaker 7: a generational player. When his value is kind of at
- 30:14Speaker 7: the lowest point right now. One hundred percent agree with you.
- 30:18Speaker 7: If we're gonna trade him, it's gonna be at the
- 30:20Speaker 7: end of the year, before the draft, when we know
- 30:22Speaker 7: exactly what we can get, where that pick's going to be.
- 30:25Speaker 7: There's no we have a team in my opinion right now,
- 30:29Speaker 7: if we can stay healthy, we have a chance to
- 30:31Speaker 7: compete in the playoffs with Michael Parsons. There without Michael
- 30:36Speaker 7: Parsons very little chance in my opinion, we can compete
- 30:40Speaker 7: in the end of playoffs without Michael Parsons. So let's
- 30:43Speaker 7: there's there's I say, there's like a one percent chance
- 30:46Speaker 7: that he gets traded before the season starts. I'm just
- 30:50Speaker 7: I'm just excited to see, you know, the new offense
- 30:53Speaker 7: and what we're gonna we're gonna have, and how exciting
- 30:56Speaker 7: it's gonna be. But Michael Parsons isn't going anywhere. I'm
- 30:59Speaker 7: telling you right now, You're not going anywhere, all right.
- 31:02Speaker 4: I I I don't know. I wouldn't. I don't think
- 31:07Speaker 4: so either. I'd be shocked if it happened. But you know,
- 31:12Speaker 4: I think there's a better chance today than I would
- 31:14Speaker 4: have thought in yesterday show, and so if that thing
- 31:18Speaker 4: keeps going like that, then yeah. But I mean I
- 31:22Speaker 4: think the fact that maybe the Cowboys are at least
- 31:26Speaker 4: listening that right there tells me that you know, they're
- 31:29Speaker 4: at least entertaining the thought. Now again, I I don't know,
- 31:32Speaker 4: Like you said, it could be all just just business
- 31:35Speaker 4: strategy here and trying to to one up each other
- 31:38Speaker 4: with leverage. There's a lot of moving parts here. There's
- 31:41Speaker 4: there's a lot of different scenarios that can happen, some
- 31:43Speaker 4: things that I don't even know I could even talk
- 31:46Speaker 4: about that that that that could happen here could be
- 31:49Speaker 4: on the table. So it's it's wild. I wish I
- 31:54Speaker 4: had better answers here. You know, you don't like that
- 31:56Speaker 4: thing hanging over your head as you're about to play
- 31:58Speaker 4: the game that everybody's question marks, but most of them
- 32:01Speaker 4: don't have. Is your best player on your team going
- 32:04Speaker 4: to play for you or not? That's where the Cowboys are.
- 32:08Speaker 7: I think he I think he suits up against against
- 32:11Speaker 7: the Eagles, I really do. I think will he play
- 32:14Speaker 7: the whole game? Probably not, but he's gonna play enough
- 32:18Speaker 7: where he can be impactful. I really think he's gonna
- 32:20Speaker 7: play I just I don't see a scenario where he's
- 32:24Speaker 7: gonna want to sit. You know, he's pretty loyal to
- 32:27Speaker 7: the teammates. You know, he loves those guys. I don't
- 32:31Speaker 7: think he's gonna fit. I really think he's gonna play.
- 32:36Speaker 4: What makes you say that, though, I'm just gonna put
- 32:38Speaker 4: that back on you. What makes you say loyal to
- 32:40Speaker 4: your teammates.
- 32:42Speaker 7: All the report if you talk to Diggs, you talk
- 32:44Speaker 7: to the other other.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Guys more than Diggs. I need more than his buddy
- 32:49Speaker 4: he is.
- 32:51Speaker 7: I just think he's always wanted to be a cowboy.
- 32:55Speaker 7: I think it's just it's just the way the game.
- 32:57Speaker 7: I mean, look at look at the guy in Cleveland,
- 33:00Speaker 7: So I don't want to be in Cleveland anymore, trying
- 33:01Speaker 7: me and then and then like a week later. Times
- 33:04Speaker 7: it's what they do. It's the business of it, leverage.
- 33:08Speaker 7: He wants his money. I don't blame him, you know
- 33:10Speaker 7: what I mean, It's all just a game.
- 33:12Speaker 4: Only reason I asked you about that with the teammates
- 33:15Speaker 4: is I just say that. I'm just going to say this.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Laying on the table in the middle of a preseason game,
- 33:20Speaker 4: I think has has a bigger effect than people realize.
- 33:24Speaker 4: I think that was a bigger deal than people think.
- 33:27Speaker 4: I don't.
- 33:28Speaker 7: That was not a good look. That was not a
- 33:29Speaker 7: good look. And I think that maybe a little bit
- 33:32Speaker 7: immaturity in my opinion, a little bit on his ead
- 33:35Speaker 7: on his part. That's not a good look.
- 33:37Speaker 4: I agree, right, I still And then with anybody in
- 33:42Speaker 4: the world when you talk, when you're talking to somebody
- 33:44Speaker 4: that says, man, some of your issues are immaturity. Here's
- 33:47Speaker 4: two hundred million dollars, you know, so that that that's
- 33:51Speaker 4: part of it. I'm not calling him immature, but I
- 33:53Speaker 4: mean he's young. He does some things. That was You're right,
- 33:56Speaker 4: that wasn't a good look. But that didn't look good
- 33:59Speaker 4: as a the leader of players that you that you
- 34:03Speaker 4: want and and and I'll say this off the air,
- 34:06Speaker 4: you have anything else? Are you good?
- 34:08Speaker 7: Just one more? What do you think about that defensive
- 34:11Speaker 7: tackle that the Ravens released Waved? Any chance you think
- 34:15Speaker 7: we signed somebody like him for defensive See?
- 34:18Speaker 4: I didn't see that. Is that was that cut recently?
- 34:21Speaker 4: I don't. I haven't seen who's out there? Are you
- 34:24Speaker 4: talking about waved a few weeks ago?
- 34:27Speaker 12: No?
- 34:27Speaker 7: They just waved them.
- 34:28Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't know. I wouldn't I wouldn't
- 34:30Speaker 4: know that. I haven't looked at some of those guys.
- 34:34Speaker 4: If he's if he can help this team, if he's
- 34:35Speaker 4: better than Mazzi and Perry On Winfrey, and I think,
- 34:39Speaker 4: I think you gotta you gotta look at that. And
- 34:41Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys are looking at players like that. Okay,
- 34:44Speaker 4: all right, all right, man, let me say this real
- 34:48Speaker 4: quick about about the Parsons thing. You know why I
- 34:52Speaker 4: think that that that didn't sit well. What happened at
- 34:54Speaker 4: the game the other day is is just when you
- 34:57Speaker 4: think about if you know, if you had an older brother,
- 35:00Speaker 4: you know I have an older brother, but if you
- 35:01Speaker 4: have an older brother, and and and you know he
- 35:04Speaker 4: was at at your little league game and sitting in
- 35:07Speaker 4: the stands, I mean, you want to do well for them.
- 35:10Speaker 4: And think about all the young players on defense. There's
- 35:13Speaker 4: Micah Parsons there, he's not playing, he's in street clothes,
- 35:16Speaker 4: but but you know he's out there, and you want them,
- 35:20Speaker 4: you want to show out for them, and and you
- 35:22Speaker 4: want to make a big play. You see some of
- 35:24Speaker 4: these guys make it, make a big play. Andrew Booth
- 35:26Speaker 4: got an interception two weeks ago and here's Darn Bland,
- 35:29Speaker 4: and there's there's you know, all the defensive guys, you know,
- 35:32Speaker 4: giving them high fives and all that you want to
- 35:34Speaker 4: do that James Houston's making a sack here in the
- 35:37Speaker 4: middle of the game, and and and Michah Parsons did Micah,
- 35:40Speaker 4: did you see that? No, he's laying down, you know.
- 35:43Speaker 4: So that's that. That wasn't good at all. And uh,
- 35:48Speaker 4: I think it. I think it's been more telling than
- 35:51Speaker 4: then people think. I'm not saying the Cowboys have totally
- 35:54Speaker 4: changed their stance and said, all right, that's it, that's
- 35:56Speaker 4: the last strong I'm not saying that. I just think
- 35:59Speaker 4: that what they've wanted to see out of him, they
- 36:03Speaker 4: haven't seen it all the way as far as you know,
- 36:06Speaker 4: they know we can rutch the past, but there's other
- 36:08Speaker 4: elements involved, and I think this whole process hasn't been good,
- 36:12Speaker 4: you know, to see some of those things. Let's go
- 36:14Speaker 4: to Dylan in Northport, Florida. How are you doing?
- 36:19Speaker 7: Hey?
- 36:19Speaker 5: All right?
- 36:20Speaker 14: So it was CJ.
- 36:21Speaker 1: Koy was the guy that was released from the Ravens.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Really good there, So I think, I mean, they'd have
- 36:28Speaker 1: to be interested and honestly, if they were to move
- 36:30Speaker 1: on from somebody, I would keep winfree and I would
- 36:33Speaker 1: I don't know if they would do it, but I
- 36:34Speaker 1: would get rid of Mazi. I think Winfrey is better
- 36:36Speaker 1: than Mazi. He can play one three and five technique.
- 36:39Speaker 1: He had a nice pass rush move in the preseason
- 36:41Speaker 1: at five off the edge, so he gives you a
- 36:43Speaker 1: lot of flexibility there. And then you have a stout
- 36:46Speaker 1: one tech with with both Toya who looks like he's
- 36:48Speaker 1: going to get some snaps.
- 36:49Speaker 6: And then uh, this.
- 36:50Speaker 1: The cj Okoy guys. So that's who That's what he
- 36:53Speaker 1: was talking about. Hopefully they'd be interested in that.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Well, they'll they'll be interesting. I mean, you know, they
- 36:58Speaker 4: got that. I have to figure that. I get that
- 37:01Speaker 4: he's not a player that's on my radar. Again, I
- 37:04Speaker 4: kind of like, would this show right here? This show
- 37:07Speaker 4: is gonna air, most people are gonna watch it, like
- 37:09Speaker 4: after the three o'clock stuff like that too, So like,
- 37:11Speaker 4: I don't really get into what's gonna happen. They're gonna
- 37:13Speaker 4: make some moves today surprise me the way I always say, like,
- 37:17Speaker 4: who is it? Are they better than what you've got?
- 37:21Speaker 4: The Mazzie thing? You know, I don't think he's he's
- 37:24Speaker 4: super safe as far as on the roster. I think
- 37:26Speaker 4: it was close, but I just because they go bring
- 37:30Speaker 4: a defensive tackle and I don't think that they necessarily
- 37:32Speaker 4: will cut a defensive tackle. I think, let me just
- 37:37Speaker 4: put it this way, I was told Mazzi's not fifty three.
- 37:40Speaker 4: He's not the fifty third guy on the roster. Now,
- 37:42Speaker 4: is he in the fifties? Maybe, but I don't think
- 37:45Speaker 4: he's fifty three. And I think you could go with
- 37:47Speaker 4: other positions there again, and going back to the Jalen
- 37:51Speaker 4: Brooks thing that someone just mentioned, you know, Jalen Brooks
- 37:55Speaker 4: might have a better shot of playing in the game
- 37:58Speaker 4: against the Eagles than Ryan Flinnoy and he's not on
- 38:01Speaker 4: the team. You know, that's part of the practice squad thing.
- 38:04Speaker 4: If you can get a guy to the practice squad,
- 38:06Speaker 4: you got to remember, out of your fifty three, seven
- 38:08Speaker 4: of them can't play. Out of your fifty three, seven
- 38:11Speaker 4: are inactive. And I know I'm talking not to you, Dylan,
- 38:14Speaker 4: because I think you know the rules more than me.
- 38:16Speaker 4: What I'm saying is is to everyone else, seven of
- 38:19Speaker 4: them have to be inactive. So that means you go
- 38:21Speaker 4: and keep forty six now you can take two from
- 38:24Speaker 4: the practice squad and they play in the game. So
- 38:27Speaker 4: there are some guys that they cut that have a
- 38:29Speaker 4: better shot of playing in the game than some of
- 38:32Speaker 4: the guys that they kept. And that's what's weird about
- 38:34Speaker 4: the whole situation.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, that's all numbers games. They got to play
- 38:37Speaker 1: around and stuff. As far as the Michael Parsons stuff, And.
- 38:40Speaker 14: I'll go quick.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I got the people waiting.
- 38:42Speaker 6: You know, they just.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Got to tell themselves this, Mischelle, I say, did he.
- 38:45Speaker 6: Get better or worse?
- 38:46Speaker 1: Are you close to a super Bowl run with this
- 38:48Speaker 1: team or are you not? Because if you think you're close,
- 38:50Speaker 1: which they made a move for George Pickens on a
- 38:52Speaker 1: one year deal, which tells me they think they're close.
- 38:54Speaker 1: If you move Michael Parsons off this team, fit's red
- 38:57Speaker 1: bull time to me, because you're you're telling your your
- 39:00Speaker 1: guys that listen, we can see more people, more people
- 39:03Speaker 1: than one or two guys at this point to compete.
- 39:05Speaker 1: And I've called twenty twenty five or building block here
- 39:09Speaker 1: for a long time. Here, I've been with that for
- 39:10Speaker 1: a while. I think if they had a really good
- 39:13Speaker 1: off season this year, good draft, I think we'll see,
- 39:16Speaker 1: but one more successful offseason with another good draft, I
- 39:19Speaker 1: think they could be contenders again, a top maybe three
- 39:21Speaker 1: or four team in the NFC. So if you trade
- 39:23Speaker 1: Michael Parsons away, you're not going to be that and
- 39:25Speaker 1: you're just hoping that these picks hit. So that's my
- 39:27Speaker 1: thoughts on that whole thing.
- 39:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and thank thank you for the call, Dylan.
- 39:31Speaker 4: And this is why I think if the Cowboys were
- 39:34Speaker 4: to do a trade, I think that the key is
- 39:37Speaker 4: not going to necessarily be you know, the who you
- 39:43Speaker 4: trade it to and who you're trading them to, and
- 39:46Speaker 4: you know, wouldn't know where they're picking. I think the
- 39:49Speaker 4: biggest thing is going to be what player that you
- 39:53Speaker 4: get with them. You got to get a player in
- 39:57Speaker 4: two ones, and if the player can help you now,
- 40:00Speaker 4: a significant player that can help you now and maybe
- 40:03Speaker 4: offset what you have what you're losing. And I'm not
- 40:05Speaker 4: saying that you have to get a pass rusher. I'm
- 40:07Speaker 4: just saying, you know, another player, an impact player plus
- 40:11Speaker 4: two picks. I mean, I think if they get a player,
- 40:14Speaker 4: then they're interested. But and that's and that's that's a change.
- 40:19Speaker 4: I didn't never I never thought they might even entertain
- 40:22Speaker 4: and again, this all could be for not I mean,
- 40:26Speaker 4: it could just be the game that's being played. All right,
- 40:29Speaker 4: let's go to Irwin in Colorado.
- 40:32Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how are you doing good?
- 40:34Speaker 4: How are you doing doing great?
- 40:36Speaker 7: Hey?
- 40:37Speaker 14: I just wanted to touch bases a little bit with some
- 40:40Speaker 14: folks have been talking about and you have one call
- 40:43Speaker 14: around there who was saying that absolutely wasn't going to happen.
- 40:46Speaker 14: I absolutely think that it possibly could happen. I'm not
- 40:49Speaker 14: saying that it will, but it could happen. And there's
- 40:52Speaker 14: a couple of scenarios that I was kind of looking
- 40:54Speaker 14: at that think about a team like I'm just saying,
- 40:57Speaker 14: maybe the Raiders who happened to have a player who
- 41:01Speaker 14: I believe the Cowboys kind of wanted, and we all
- 41:04Speaker 14: know the Cowboys that kind of been wanting a running
- 41:06Speaker 14: back for a while, So why not go and try
- 41:09Speaker 14: to look at the possibilities of trading to the Raiders
- 41:13Speaker 14: for a draft pick, also a high draft pick, first
- 41:16Speaker 14: round pick, and then possibly that running back that they
- 41:19Speaker 14: picked that everybody knows about impact running back. And I mean,
- 41:25Speaker 14: that was such a bad look that Parsons did the
- 41:29Speaker 14: other night against the Feltons when he was laying on
- 41:32Speaker 14: the table with his eyes closed while the players were playing,
- 41:35Speaker 14: and I know he said it was just a split moment.
- 41:38Speaker 14: The perception is reality, and everybody saw that, and it
- 41:42Speaker 14: almost actually looked a little koish, you know if you
- 41:47Speaker 14: think about it.
- 41:48Speaker 5: And kind of wanted to get.
- 41:49Speaker 14: Your thoughts on that.
- 41:50Speaker 4: Yeah, and I've said it, honestly, I've kind of I
- 41:52Speaker 4: think I've said enough on that part, but you know,
- 41:56Speaker 4: I agree with you there. And then on the trade,
- 42:00Speaker 4: it's possible. I mean, I didn't think it would be.
- 42:04Speaker 4: And I still I'm just gonna let me, let me
- 42:06Speaker 4: just read it. I still think I would be shocked
- 42:10Speaker 4: if it happens. I was still not just surprised. I'll
- 42:13Speaker 4: be shocked if Jerry Jones trades Michael Parsons, I'll be shocked.
- 42:18Speaker 4: Is it Is it something that could happen. Let's just say,
- 42:21Speaker 4: let's just be cute here. I think it's on the table.
- 42:25Speaker 4: So that's That's kind of the theme of the last
- 42:28Speaker 4: week has been on the table. Let's go to our
- 42:30Speaker 4: another break here on Cowboys storyline and be right back

- 43:50Speaker 4: pro shops, concession and on YETI dot Com. Let's go
- 43:53Speaker 4: to one more caller, Robin Vegas. What's up, Hey, Mack,
- 43:57Speaker 4: Hey Rob? Are we from New York? Yeah?
- 44:02Speaker 9: Going good? I thought Joe from New York was pretty
- 44:04Speaker 9: much spot on. When you got a quarterback like Dak
- 44:08Speaker 9: paying them sixty million, the playoffs should be a given.
- 44:12Speaker 9: If everybody stays healthy, this team should be shooting for
- 44:16Speaker 9: more than that. And unfortunately Jerry didn't. You know, he
- 44:21Speaker 9: goes to the edge. But the days of pushing the
- 44:23Speaker 9: chips in the middle to are over.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Uh.
- 44:27Speaker 9: This team the only you know, the only thing they
- 44:29Speaker 9: really upgraded was Pickens. Everything else is a mystery. The
- 44:33Speaker 9: running game, the offensive line. And that's why, unfortunately, I
- 44:38Speaker 9: think Philadelphia is is going to be a beatdown. And
- 44:43Speaker 9: it's only because what they do really good. We don't
- 44:46Speaker 9: do good. We don't stop the run, and they're gonna
- 44:49Speaker 9: they're gonna rush to pass like crazy, and they're.
- 44:51Speaker 7: Going to run the ball.
- 44:52Speaker 9: And and this Mike is barely out there. If he's
- 44:56Speaker 9: out there at one hundred percent, I didn't like our chances.
- 44:59Speaker 9: If he's barely out there. I really don't like talking
- 45:01Speaker 9: about Micahah, Michah. I think he he thought he was
- 45:07Speaker 9: friends with Jerry. You know, they hung out in the box,
- 45:11Speaker 9: and I think he thought, now Jerry's going to take
- 45:13Speaker 9: care of me. And I think what he he blew
- 45:17Speaker 9: it in a way where Jerry made him an offer.
- 45:20Speaker 9: You know, I'm just gonna go by what I heard,
- 45:23Speaker 9: and Mike said, there, that sounds good, and then his
- 45:27Speaker 9: agent somehow said no, I think we could do better.
- 45:31Speaker 9: That rubbed Jerry the wrong way. And Jerry's like, dude,
- 45:34Speaker 9: do you understand I got you for three years. You
- 45:36Speaker 9: keep hearing Jerry say that, right, He says it all
- 45:40Speaker 9: the time. I have you for three years. And Michaeh,
- 45:44Speaker 9: laying on the table looked foolish. I don't want to
- 45:47Speaker 9: hear loyalty. He sat out a full year in college
- 45:51Speaker 9: because he didn't want to get hurt to go in
- 45:53Speaker 9: the draft. So there's no loyalty. It's all about money.
- 45:56Speaker 7: He's got.
- 45:56Speaker 9: Nobody's loyal to nobody anymore with this kind of money.
- 46:00Speaker 9: But I just think Micah just blew it with that
- 46:04Speaker 9: trading him. You know, I go back and forth. Sure,
- 46:07Speaker 9: if Jimmy Johnson was here, I trade him tomorrow because
- 46:11Speaker 9: I know Jimmy would build this team because they off
- 46:15Speaker 9: a couple of pieces away, but it's not Jimmy's not here,
- 46:20Speaker 9: so I don't trust if they got the picks, even
- 46:22Speaker 9: though it sounds great, give me two number ones, a
- 46:24Speaker 9: number three of a starter and the money. You know.
- 46:28Speaker 9: So I think Joe said, well, they'll say forty five million.
- 46:31Speaker 9: What do you think they're gonna do it. They're gonna
- 46:32Speaker 9: do nothing with it. They got thirty something million dollars
- 46:35Speaker 9: right now that they haven't spent. This team is a
- 46:40Speaker 9: few people defensive tackle away from being a really good team.
- 46:46Speaker 9: In my eyes, you cannot get that now. The time
- 46:50Speaker 9: to build a team was months ago. Whatever you're going
- 46:53Speaker 9: to get now is going to just be a guy
- 46:56Speaker 9: of bodies. Maybe a little better than Mazzi, who knows,
- 47:00Speaker 9: but unfortunately, well stuck where we're at. I think we're
- 47:03Speaker 9: probably looking at a nine win season. I just don't
- 47:08Speaker 9: see them, you know, I agree that everybody seems like
- 47:11Speaker 9: they've gotten better.
- 47:12Speaker 6: The Rams.
- 47:13Speaker 9: I just think that everybody's better, and I don't know
- 47:16Speaker 9: if we have better. We have so many injuries to
- 47:19Speaker 9: start the season off. We got some of our best
- 47:23Speaker 9: players are not going to be on the field and
- 47:27Speaker 9: pickings as great as he looks, I don't know if
- 47:30Speaker 9: you could beat Philadelphia, Like you said, how do you
- 47:33Speaker 9: close that gap with one wide receiver?

- 48:06Speaker 9: coordinator and maybe he wants to make Jalen Hurts a passer.
- 48:10Speaker 9: That would be that would be great for us. But
- 48:13Speaker 9: if they if they're going to play like they did
