  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: What is up? Everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Thursday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: April eighteenth, and it is one week away from the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Happens next Thursday in the evening six o'clock.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I believe seven o'clock when it starts. It starts. Look
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to be picking around nine o'clock or
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: something like that, but maybe later than that, maybe not
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: even Thursday at all. Who knows. If they trade back.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That's a scenario that you have to be prepared for.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Cowboys need draft picks, and you know they're gonna be
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: sitting there at the twenty fourth pick a few picks
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: before that, they'll be looking and see, hey, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: do we have it, Do we have a trade partner,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: do we have an opportunity to move back? And how
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: far do we go? And what are we going to get?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Because I think you know that they're going to want
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to get a pick in the fourth round. They're going
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to want to get maybe another second or third, So
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you look at your evaluation, just
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like you do every year, every time you're about to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: pick and you go, hey, can we move back? Here?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Are there seven eight nine guys that we still like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that would be comfortable, you know, taking when it is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: our turn? And if that happens, then I think the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have to consider it, just because this year that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they do need, they have needs to fill and they
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: need some picks to do it. So don't be surprised
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: if you have some trade back scenarios. All right, eight eight, eight, eight,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven. That is the number
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to call. Uh learned my lesson on this. For the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: actual number for the text line which I need to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: throw out there, eight one seven two nine zero three
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: two nine eight is the number to text. Again. I'm
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: only going to say it a couple more times if
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you if you're on the All Storyline team and you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: want to hey, look there's the graphic, beautiful graphic eight
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. If
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you're on the All Storyline team and you want to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: get your T shirt, make sure and send us your address,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your name, address, and shirt size so we can get
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that to you. They should be coming in in a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks and then we will be able to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get him out there. So if you don't, if you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: don't send it in, we'll just give it to someone else.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, let's go Michael in Colton, California.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: What's going on? Cowboys Nation? I know everybody's good, everybody's great. Hey, Nick,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that I think, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: if you don't mind, if I could just make a
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: little Josh prediction. I think the Cowboys in the first
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: round are going to take the center JPJ Poward Johnson.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And also in the second round, I'm hoping to see
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: them take Trey Benson out of Florida. I don't want
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to necessarily go with a hurt running back. I seen
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Trey Benson, Man, he's bad. And then I just want
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to throw at a random cowboy from back in the day,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Roy Williams.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I think that would have been awesome because now you
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: see they do so much oh hybrid, this guy could
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: play two positions and this and that. I wish we
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: could have seen them give Roy Williams a chance at
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: linebacker when you know when he lost his coverage abilities,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: that would have been cool to see him at linebacker.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: That guy was a heat seeking missile man. He would
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: see him just lay people out. But I'm gonna keep
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it short. You guys have a great day. God bless everybody,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and I'll hang up and listen.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank awesome. Thanks Michael. He called yesterday for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the first time the lead us off. He's called before
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as the first caller if I remember as well. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: good stuff there. Jackson Powers Johnson the center from Oregon,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: really really good player, physical player. I think the knock
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on him is just that he's had some some injury issues,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: concussion history of that. Now. Now, Trey Benson a Florida State,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I mean he's a dynamic player. Uh, he's He's a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: guy that has a home run abilities. He's he's had
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of eighter touchdowns last year. And you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I think what you're alluding to, you don't want to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: take Jonathan Brooks out of Texas, a guy that is
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: coming off an ACL injury. I think they they look
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: at these things as investments more than than just you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: coming in and playing Right now. Now, I'm sure McCarthy
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: would like the running back able to you know, participate
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the OTAs and all that. But you know, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: think that you have to be smart about it too,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, you know, is who's going to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: be better right now? Who's who has a chance to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: be outstanding next year or the year after that? And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's where you know, you have to make
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: these tough calls. As for Roy Williams, yeah, I mean
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: he's We did a documentary on him not too long
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: ago and we called it, you know, the Deep Blue.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We called it the Late Hit. And it wasn't really
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because he was a dirty player or anything like that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He did have some some some issues with you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: physical play, but really more you know, if he had
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: played at a different era, maybe back in the seventies
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: or eighties, he could be an All Pro or like
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you said, maybe if he played now, they'd figure out
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a different way for him. He would definitely be like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in that linebacker role. If Marquis Bell's playing linebacker, Roy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Williams is definitely playing linebacker. But you know, I think that, yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he was. He was definitely an outstanding player. But he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: said to me, if he was playing today, he'd be
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: playing for free because he'd be getting he's not going
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to change and he'd be getting penalties and and he
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just wouldn't adjust, you know, to to the to the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: rules and things like that. But yeah, he was. He
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: was laying the wood for sure. And him and Woodson
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: together we're outstanding as a combination.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: There.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: All right, good call there from Michael Colton, California. Let's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: go to Bowling Green, Kentucky. We got Michael Bolden Green.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: One thing I heard the end of that call, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: it sounds like it was similar to what I was
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: going to ask you. I wanted I had three players
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I was wondering, okay, if you would draft him and
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: where they would have to be. One was Brooks, which
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: you just mentioned, would you would you take him in
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the second or the third round?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Uh? The other one is powers Johnson if he if
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: he was there twenty four because of this mystery illness
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: apparently has And the other one is Sweat who would
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: you know? He got the d U I and everything.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Where would he have to drop for you to pick him?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Because he compsitory fourth round, fourth round, compensatory fourth round
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: where you got it's an inside joker if you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you know? Okay, so Sweat had the d U I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and uh, but yeah, I mean he doesn't always stop
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the cows. I'll just say it. I mean, Dak had one,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and that does happened to Dak in the middle,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, right before right after the combine and before
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the draft. So and you know, fourth round history and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: fourth round worked out I think for oh, ok, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: those three guys. Any other question, any other comment.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: No, that was it. And like I said, I heard
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: the end of the first call sounds.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Like all right, all right, good stuff, all right, Well,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: thank you for the call, Michael. All right, So another
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: question about Brooks and and powers Johnson. Where would you
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: take him? I mean, I can't say that I've seen
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: them a ton. I mean I have watched Brooks play.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Obviously it was healthy, and I really like the way
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he ran, you know, and I know it's wearing twenty
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: four and the dreads and all that. Maybe I maybe
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: think about Marion Barber, but but I do. I like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the way he runs. I mean, it's it's physical, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's smooth at the same time, so not easy
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to do it running back. So that might me personally
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and probably a third round, you know, I'd be comfortable
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: with that in the third round. You know, I just
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: think the way they are. I know that the way
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Jerry kind of does it with the second round. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I've thought, you know, if if you're not going to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be aggressive and free agency and they just never have been, really,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that your first and second round picks have to be
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like plug and play players. They just have to be.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Is this a new feature, Chris? We just addn't we
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: add like draft stuff in there? I see Jonathan Brooks Now, Uh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: some Jonathan Brooks highlights, said you need to see him,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So I put them up there for I like, look
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: at this all right. Not everyone is watching. Uh. Some
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: people are doing just you know, listening online and in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: their car. But we do have some Jonathan Brooks highlights.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Uh there, And I mean it's hard not to look
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at some you know, Marion Barber when you're just seeing
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: them like around the goal line there. But uh, you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: know you can catch the ball out of the backfield too.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So I I've seen him play. I liked him Powers Johnson.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I just know kind of what he's about, and he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: would be a guy that you plug in and play
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: as well. So good stuff there. Thanks for Chris for
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: doing that. He's been spending all of his time getting
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: those kind of and stuff for the Draft show if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you've watched that, and of course that they've got the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: big the Mega Draft Show coming up Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: all day coverage of the draft while the drafts is
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: going on, So anytime they'll be talking about players, they've
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: got little clips like that. So we appreciate him doing that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sure we'll throw some powers Johnson
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: out there at some point. All right now, but I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think I think he's good. I think he'd come
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in and play. The injury history would be something of
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a concern there. And as as for sweat, you know
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he's got they got to find they got to figure
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that out a little bit with him and just where
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: he is going to fall on the board. But you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think if they like what they see and they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: think he's a guy that that can that can you know, mature,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: then yeah, I'm for it in the you know, middle round,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: fourth round, fifth, you don't have a fourth round pick now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but but something like that. He has fallen to that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: point because of some off the field issues. All right,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: let's go to Travis in San Antonio. TRAVI, what's that mean?
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Not much?
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to. I want to ask you eventually
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: kind of a question on what you think is the
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: like the office round. You know, it's been like a
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: retreaded topic, but it came up on Hanging with the
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Boys when I was listening earlier and was just kind
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: of curious what you thought. But first, I do want
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: to shout out because I know Chris is going to
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: be uh busy busy with the draft stuff going on.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: I know you guys all are, but especially with you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: him putting up graphics and all type of stuff, so
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: we're all going to be paying attention. So I want to,
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: you know, just tell him as a preemptive thank you
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: and shout out to him for doing all the type
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: of stuff for us so we appreciate it. And then
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: I know they're talking about Hang with the Boys. I'm
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: kind of just the We've talked about it here too,
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: just a fan frustration, and I'm just kind of curious,
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: Like I'm not saying it wouldn't it wouldn't have this
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: would have would not have changed like fans opinions, or
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: they wouldn't have been upset. So I'm just kind of
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: curious what you think of Kurt was kind of talking
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: about you know, maybe they're not they've got to guys
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: for sure to pay maybe three with Micah, maybe they're
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: not paying guys because they have this dead money that
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: they're paying for the past and they can't pay it
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: because they're you know, they're they're so hard to pay
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: guys in the future. But then he looked it up
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: and he was like, oh, they're seventeen million dead cap.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: The league averages twenty five. They're twenty fifth and dead
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: cap and other teams are kind of figuring out. So
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: he was like, so, maybe that's why fans are frustrated,
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: and I think it is, and I'm just kind of curious,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: like why. I think for me, it's just the lack
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: of explaining like any kind of plan. And I know
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: I still would be frustrated, so I'm not you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying I wouldn't be, but I think after
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: like four or five days of frustration of like they're
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: they're all in or whatever you want to call it,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: is maybe they're just cleaned the books. They're maybe they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: saying in their heads, hey, you know, we've we have
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: pushed contracts back the last four or five six years
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: and we're trying to get our books in line for
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: the next five or six. Would I have liked that?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: No?
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: But if they had said that, Nick, I feel like
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: myself and maybe other fans would be like, Okay, I mean,
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: I'm still frustrated with free agency or whatever, but after
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: three or four, five days, I'd be like, Okay, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: get it. At least there's this is here's the plan,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: this is why, here's what we're going, you know, going forward.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: So it was kind of curious why you think they
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: wouldn't just outright say.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: That, Yeah, I don't. I don't think that they want
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to show out what what their plan is, you know.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's they always going to be that way,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: where you know what, Why tell you guys what the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: plan is? Why tell other teams what the plan? Uh
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you said that you know about about the plan. I mean,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that they definitely have a plan. It's just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't have you don't have to reveal it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: That's one thing I've always seen about press conference is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they don't have to talk if they don't want to.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: You know, I get it, I get it. But then
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: my only counterpoint to that would be, which we do
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: have to acknowledge is you know, between these two executives,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: they're on and out there talking, which a lot of
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: times we appreciate, but they're out there talking a lot
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: of times more so than any other executives. So I
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: feel like maybe we just feel it, and maybe you
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: can say it to be too, Nick, you can say, hey,
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: maybe you guys just feel like you're too entitled to
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: know what the plan.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Is well, And I think we all feel that way all.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: We all kind of feel like that because he want
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to be right, everybody wants to be right, and what
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they're saying and something.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know, right, Nick, I just I think we
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: just want to know. Like I know you said they
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: have a but even you could even say them like
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: kind of like side step and ways of like like
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: dropping little hints of like this is what we are doing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: I guess if you want to say it directly, but
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: I just so I'm just curious on that. But then
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: the draft real quick, my I'll see what you think.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: I'm hoping that Tyla ci Fuaga, speaking of what you
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: said earlier about guys that you know can play your
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: first and sack ground Pick's got to play this year
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: I'm hoping that they brought him in for a thirty visit.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: He's projected to be like a top ten fifteen kind
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: of guy. But I'm hoping that maybe they know something
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: we don't know in that realm, and maybe he slips
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: a little bit and I would one, and I hope
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: they're considering it, maybe giving up like a twenty twenty
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: five second or a third maybe to go up a
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: couple of spots and get him. I don't know if
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: you've seen him, but he's the tackle out of Oregon State,
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: and he kind of gives me Eric Williams vibes with,
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: like with how nasty he is. So I'm kind of hoping,
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: like that's my like long shot dream hope for the draft.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: But other than that, see what you think, and you
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: guys have a great week.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Thanks Trevis. I'm not me personally, I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: not interested in trading up for anybody. It's just that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: not what I would consider doing. You need, you've already
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: done that. You've traded up. You traded up last year,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and I know that fans don't care about that. They
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: don't care about you know, like what has already happened.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You know, no one cares. So no one cares that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they traded up to you know, they traded to get
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks or in Gilmour and Trey Lance that you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: two of those guys probably won't even help them this year.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So I understand that. But that's you know, they've already
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: done that, so they don't have a lot of picks,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and so to be trading up, you know, I think
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: at twenty four, you got to get what you get
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: if not trade back. So I'm not somebody's always falling.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Someone's going that they like is going to fall, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's you know, they have enough needs that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they could probably go that route. So that's me personally
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: not really trying to move up that far some of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the things you said, Like you know, you said dead
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: cap the average is twenty five right now or seventeen,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: but that's the point, Like they're not looking at just
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: this year. They're looking at next year where it's going
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to be sixty five. So if the average is twenty
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: five and they're sitting at sixty five, that's going to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: be a problem. And they're trying to make sure that
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it's not that they're somewhat competitive next year. That's where
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that's where all this is going, and that they're trying
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to stay competitive this year for sure next year as well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and so and and and on and on and after that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So that's why they've said that they feel like this
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is kind of an all in year, because this is
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: this is the year that they really have to get
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: this thing done, and they've been pushing, pushing, pushing to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: get to this point right now. And but then you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: ask for why not say that and all that, I mean,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that's good luck trying to get Jerry and Stephen to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: say exactly what you want them to say at all times.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's this whole thing's gone out
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of control of this all and stuff, because it's just
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: it just hasn't been used the way that that I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think that they meant it to be. And you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it's just caused even more frustration to the fan base,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: which just started out frustration, frustrated. And I understand that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: after last year the way it ended, I mean, it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: can't it couldn't have ended worse than it did. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: so usually you know, you you come back from that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and you and you try to fix it, you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and uh, it's kind of been the opposites, which is
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: only added to the frustration. All right, let's go to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas, Nicky Rob.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: You know, I watched the interview with Stephen Jones. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: think it was one O five three, and I think
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: it came off terrible. I mean, Jerry, you know, Jerry's
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: like the old grandpa who's fun to hang out with.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: He's still hit, he's still cool. And Stephen comes out
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: off like a spoiled rich kid writing his daddy's coattails.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: That's how he comes off to me. I mean, it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: like he thinks. And and let's be honest. As Cowboy fans,
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: we've we've been like this that no matter what the
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: product he's going to put out there, we're going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: support the team. We're going to keep them the richest team.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: And I don't know, I just got a bad vibe
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: from him the other day. The crap that he was
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: saying about the money. Come on, it's that is so ridiculous.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: When you see teams like the Eagles and stuff that
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: we always talk that's fake money. If we want, if
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: the Cowboys want to do it, they can do it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: If you wanted to sign Dak. You save twenty million
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: dollars if you do something with CD right now, you
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: save about ten There's thirty million dollars right there with
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: two guys. Go sign Mic up with the rest. I mean,
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know, he just he just came off there
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: and I don't want to. I know you can't come
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: and I'm putting in a bad spot. So I'm just talking. Yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: but he just comes off bad. I'm sorry, he's come
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: off bad before, and I'm sorry. I just look at
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: him like that, and I don't know what's gonna happen.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: God forbid. When Jerry finally is not around, but Thursdays,
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: I usually try to keep it lightning. So last week
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: I came up with the you know, the draft, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: we're gonna do something different. We try to get to
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: know each other. Favorite era of music and favorite band
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: or bands or singer. What's your favorite era of music?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have to say era, it's just a year.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: If it came out in nineteen ninety three, that's me
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. Yeah, it doesn't really matter what it is.
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: So ninety three was that that's grund the grunge era.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I would say yeah, but but no, that's not me anyways, Yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: ninety three, ninety four. I'm not say this. They asked
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the other day, what's my song for karaoke? Is and juice?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: My favorite song of all time, all time favorite song
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is This Is How We Do It Montel Jordan's That
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is my favorite song for multiple.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: Reasons and the biggest wedding song.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean yeah, I wouldn't think so, but well
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: maybe anyways, that's me. What about yours? What's yours?
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm an eighties. Eighties to me, the eighties is
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: the best. You still had the big power bands of
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: the seventies like Van Hale and led Zeppelin, and then
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: you throw in the hair bands of the eighties, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: then you throw in the new wave of depeche Mode
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: and The Cure, and I just think the eighties. And
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: that's probably why Van Halen is probably my favorite band.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: And I love Stepe Ray Vaughan Texas own. I leant
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: towards guitarists. I think Steier Rays the greatest guitarist ever.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: But I think the eighties. I love depeche Mode, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: love the Cure, I love you know, I love rap.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: Growing up in New York. All right, but yeah, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: say the eighties.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good stuff, and thanks for the call.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about what you said last week.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting you came out with a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: game that everyone jumped on and it was good of
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: drafting someone from the nineties that could help this team.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And I think we went seven picks. I started out
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: with him and thought that was pretty obvious, and then
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I got to go back and Dion was mentioned.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I have it right here, Dion, Nate, Larry Allen, Kin Norton, Stepanovsky,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and then Russell Maryland, and then I threw in Darren Woodson.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: So seven to eight guys. What I think is interesting
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: about that is when you think about who was not
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: picked on there, you know all this talk, I mean,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: every every show, it's well, Dak can't do this, Dak
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: can't do that. It's mainly because he hasn't done it yet,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: so that's why they think like he's not going to.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But I did think it was kind of weird that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: we did a draft like that with eight picks and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: no one said Ekman to come in and help this team.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: That was just I mean, somebody could have somebody might
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: have said that, like, oh, I was saying that, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of interesting. You know, that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just kind of goes to show some of the other
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: glaring needs and also how talented that team really was.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So anyways, good call there, Rob. I'm you know, like
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you said earlier about the stuff with Steven on how
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it comes across. I mean, that's just, you know, that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: just that stems back to your frustration, and I get that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And also the point of they could do this if
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: they wanted to. They could do this if they wanted to.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong with that. I think we had to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: figure out is why they don't want to what, you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: what's the drawback there? Why are they trying not to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: do that. There's a reason why they're trying not to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: do that. And just because they could get thirty million
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they want to go and sign someone
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and use that. So I think I think the one
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: thing that people are forgetting here is that this team
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: is really really trying to lean in on their young players.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It's time to do that. It's time to see what
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: they've got in some of these guys that haven't gotten
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a chance to play so you know that there is
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: some I think they feel like there's some progress stoppers
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: if you tried to add in some veteran guys. They
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: think that they've got some young guys that just need
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to play and they're definitely going to get the chance
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to do that. All right, let's go the next caller,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Tamra in Iowa. Hello, how you doing? Hey, I'm great,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: first time caller for sure. Here we go, there we go?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you?
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: So, yeah, I have the pressure. I heard that I
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: was going after Robin Vegas. Yeah, so I hope I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: up to that challenge and I can bring it here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: So all stars. I love the all star concept. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: didn't hear any women representation, so that is my goal.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And are you talking about on the all all storyline team? Yes,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: there was, there was. Irene in Virginia made it. Irene
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: in Virginia yep.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: Okay, Well I want Camra from Iowa to make it
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: next year.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, that sounds good.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: So my dream podcast we're talking about that last yea,
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: that last podcast host. Okay, I think a couple of
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: days ago. You're number one, You're my favorite, Brian number two,
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: and then Derek Ambarr and Nate all typer three. I
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: know that's way too many for us.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So that's just like the break, the break from two
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: years ago. And and Nate.
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: I love Nate because he was funny.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Oh, he's funny when he's when he wants
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to be and he wants to be funny, he's funny
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: when he wants to be serious. Then he just he
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: just can't stop talking about anything but the offensive line.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You're like, Nate, what do you what do you think about?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: You know, who's going to replace Diggs? If he's heard,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, man, that offensive line, though's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: got a block better. So sometimes he just gets the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: inn offensive line. But when he wants to be funny,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: he's as funny as they get.
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: Well I think sometimes when he's not being funny, he's
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: funny too.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, true, yeah, that that is a quality there.
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's why I.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Like it so much.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: So previous color I think maybe last week said they
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: really wanted us to avoid drafting injured players this year,
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: and that makes sense to me. And here's the thing, like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: I know, I feel like it sort of goes along
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: with the Cowboys theme of let's get that bargain basement player.
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: Let's get that really good deal.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Let's get you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: Know, the most bang for our buck. But sometimes I
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: feel like and then and I would add to that,
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: not just I would I would like us to avoid
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: injured players this year, and also people with off field
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: issues and I hate to say the word, but maybe
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: head cases if they suspect it. Randy Gregory. I love
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: Randy Gregory, he would be one of them. I mean,
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: we were so patient with him. And that's the thing
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: I feel like, you know.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: The front office, not me so much, but I.
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: Feel like sometimes different office thinks that they have some
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: magical elixir that they can would just get anybody that
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: has talent. And I know, like Randy Gregory, he's a freak.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: So but you can't. I think they've proven over and
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: over again and they can't just pour some magical elixir, right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: And it doesn't seem to work out for us, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: as a fan, it's so frustrating and so too then
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: then so then we also talked about bringing back previous
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: players that have left, and so I would love to
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: bring back one hundred percent healthy Sean Lee.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah we know he was.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: Never he was never that, but I wish we could
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: pour magical elixa around him and make him one hundred
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: percent healthy. That's who I want back. And then also,
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: this is going to sound contradictory, but I also like
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: Randy Gregory the last year that he was here.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a little contradictory. Definitely did sound that way,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: but yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: But I'm saying if he could be that the whole time,
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: I got it. And then yeah, but yeah, I like us.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: I'd like to see this time draft players that are
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: ready to play right out of the box like persons.
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: And so I'm going to end on that and just
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: thank you.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I got a question for you. I got a question
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: for you then, because because sometimes when you see a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: national story and you see it from a perspective, you
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: get to talk to people that are actually in it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and kind of what their thoughts are. You know, It's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, like when you go to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a place and all the sites you'll see this, but
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: all the locals kind of look at it like, ah,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that's not really that cool or whatever. So I have
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to ask, being from Iowa, this craze that we've seen
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: here lately with Caitlin Clark, what is it like to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: be there? Is it just is it just unreal that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's all this attention.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's crazy. I'm kind of over it. I feel.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Then you were over before it started. You were over
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: it when she decided not to go to Iowa State.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Probably I got it. Okay, No, that makes sense.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: Support.
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: I support all Iowa teams, but it's just yeah, and
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: I'm not really in basketball. I'm nfls balls really my thing?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Sound like it sounds like it? All right, Well, I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: Specifically the countbois Oh. One more thing though, So you
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: were talking just now. I heard you mentioned that nobody
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: said Aikman. I think that. I think Aikman, Smith and
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: Irvin are.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: Just all assumed.
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: Fair on your on your list turning to get back
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: for the nineties. Like to me, that's just like a
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: one one package right there.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was a pretty good one. All right, sounds
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: thank you for all that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: You do, and I hope to talk to.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You again soon. All right, thank you appreciate that. All right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: camera from Iowa. Nice call there. Just wants to be
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on that all storyline team, which which I'm changing it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to an all storyline squad. Okay, all storyline squad. I'm
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: changing it to that that's what's going to be on

• 27:50

• 28:07
  Speaker 11: Somebody listened to me.

  Speaker 1: You said that. You said that as well.
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: I called you last week and talked about I wanted
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: June Night rodist and you said you'd be the youngest.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, with I think Mickey in there, did you?
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Mickey? You gotta have him with his little attitude.
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: Uh So, I've been reading your next Man Up columns,
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: which they're good. So I don't know if there's one
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: already about receivers, but I'm assuming you're gonna put Tolbert.
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: But I was gonna say Jalen Brooks last year in camp,
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: y'all talked about how he was catching everything.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yep, he's big.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: You know, he's big.
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: I don't know how fast he is, but he's a
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: big you know, we need a possession type.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He's on the list. He's on the list. Tolbert was
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the first one I did. Uh, back maybe last week
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: or a week and a half ago, Tolbert was first
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: on the list, But yeah, Brooks will be in there
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: as well before we try to end it before the draft,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, but yeah he's in that group because
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, he has a chance to step
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: up as well. I had a nice rookie year, has
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a chance to do a little bit more than that.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think that's a good, good pick.
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I got something different. You know, I'm forty. I've
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: seen the nineties, but I was too young to appreciate.
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: So out of all the teams that started to playoffs
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: and let us down seven Romo t O fourteen, he
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: had Daz and DeMarco, sixteen rookie Dad Zeke, and then
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: the past three years of course, which you know lately,
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: they're like they make you feel like that kid in
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: the movie that your dad problemises they're going to show
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: up and he never does.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: Guess what, he.
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: Doesn't show up. That's how I feel now. But for me,
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: it was the seven year that that year really hurt,
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: and I thought they had the best chance.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, without doubt, that was the best football team
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I think I've ever covered. For the Cowboys that seventeen
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: they had, they had it all they did, and so
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Teo doesn't get hurt. I think that, you know, early on,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I think that that changes things. I mean, he got
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: hurt later in the season and that that affected him
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: all the way through in the playoffs. In the playoff game,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: without a doubt. But yeah, I think that that team
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: could have could have done it. You know, I don't
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: know how they would have fared against the Patriots, but
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I would like to see it. I mean, we already
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: saw it earlier in the year, so you know, I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: mean it makes me think that it was going to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: be tough, but you never know, you know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: I actually went to that New England game in Texas Stadium.
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: Where Mary and Barbara got.
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: Pushed into the end zone and made it out. That
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: was awesome.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great, great two yard run for sure,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you know. And actually I think we're working on a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: documentary on Mary and Barber, and I can't remember. I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: think it was Jason Garrett that actually was interviewed for
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: it and said, not only is Marion Barber breaking tackles
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: in the end zone, but if you look at the guys,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: they're all Hall of Famers or future Hall of fam
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was like Wilford and Bruski
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, Rodney Harrison. I'm not sure they're all
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, but I'm sure they're up
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: there as finalists and things like that. And we're talking
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: about all pro type guys. So you know, he was
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: making you know, the best players you know with there
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and and just to get back to the line of
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: scrimmage or get two yards. But yeah, it was awesome.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: That was That was one of those games too, where
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: you're like, this was closed for a while, but after
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: sixty minutes you could see how one team was just
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that much better than the other. And you know, that's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: that's what a good football team does, is they just
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: stay with it, they take your best shot, they just
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: keep coming, keep coming. By the end of the game,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the dust settles, you see who the better team was.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys did that a few times this
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: last year, you know, just kind of close games, close games,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: but they keep scoring and then they stopped the other
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: team from scoring and you look up and they won
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: by twenty four. You know, there's a few games like that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the last game of the year was Commanders.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That's one. Carolina was one, you know as well. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: mean just you know some of those games there in
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the Giants Washington early on, he's just kind of the
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: next thing, you know, like, man, they keep scoring, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: you know that's that's why, you know, because when you
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: have pass rushers that just want, you know, that want
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: to get in the game and still get sacks and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, that they never let the pressure off. Right,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: all right, thanks Chuck, appreciate you call. Thank you all.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Alan Merkle, Texas Al.
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: What's up, hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Are you doing?
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: I'm doing great, Harry good. Hey. I just wanted to
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: thank you for the second team mentioned the other day.
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: I'm glad I was listening. I haven't really been listening
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: much because I'm not gonna lie that that playoff law.
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: Still it's still taking a toll on me. And I've
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: never been a well, within the last ten years, i
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: haven't been a fan of listening to the draft show
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: because ten years ago I was really anticipating us getting
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: in this one player and we we didn't get him.
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: I got all mad again, so I thought it's not
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: worth it. So I'll probably listen, you know, a little
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: here and now, but I'll get back into it once
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: training camp starts. But once again, I just want to
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: say thank you for the sure mentioned. I love your show,
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: still love it, and love everybody that talks about it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: And then one last thing. This is a little bit
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: off the subject, and I hope it's okay, but tell
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: your dad if he ever needs a drummer to play
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: somewhere to Senior Citizens home or somewhere, I can play
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: that country music.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: I would love to play with him. And I'm only
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: two hours away from which falls.
• 33:40

• 33:42
  Speaker 1: in four words so uh.
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: Well you're two hours away too.

  Speaker 12: Like I said, I mean, that's the one thing that
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: I really love his music and the Cowboys so, like
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: I said, I'm being serious of here, we need to jump.

• 35:12
  Speaker 13: Yeah, oh yeah at the grocery store, Jacob David, Yeah.

• 35:19
  Speaker 1: There no good. Sorry, the Rangers are playing right now
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and they just they can't keep the lead. All right,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: All good? What's up? Man?
• 35:27
  Speaker 13: Hey, nig I had a question for you. I'm sorry
• 35:29
  Speaker 13: if it's been discussed, but man, it's been bothering me
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: all off seasons. What in the world happened with Brandon Cooks? Like,
• 35:37
  Speaker 13: I don't understand. The dudes had one thousand yards and
• 35:39
  Speaker 13: then he comes over here and I don't know what
• 35:42
  Speaker 13: it is. It's like the same thing with the MARII
• 35:45
  Speaker 13: and CD. We couldn't get both of them going at
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: the same time.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa time out, time out? Like Brandon Cooks?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Are we saying he did? He did not have a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: good year. I thought he had a good year. I mean,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what am I missing?
• 35:58
  Speaker 13: I was kind of expecting a little bit a thousand
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: yard receiver and then there were times where he was opening. Yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: he wasn't getting the ball, and I understand it was
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: the offensive line as well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Well, let's also effect or something else in too. I mean,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: like when he got one thousand yards, was there anyone
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't know this. I have to look this up.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: But all those years that he got a thousand yards,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: was there anyone else on his team that got seventeen
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: hundred yards? I mean, I'm just saying, like, like his
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: role is different a little bit. I thought he did
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: it well. I mean, to me, Brandon Cooks was a
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: pros pro man. He came in here, he never complained
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: about anything. Yeah, there was a time he got kind
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: of a slow start. He had to figure that out.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: One thing him and Dak figured out is that fade
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to the corner of the end zone. I felt like
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: they did that three or four times. Almost took out
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Chris Beam in the Detroit game for a touchdown. But
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I mean he was able to, you know, kind of
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: slide past it and get the great shot. But I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: thought Brandon Cooks actually had a really good season. When
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you consider the fact that, I mean, you got to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you have an all Pro receiver who set Cowboy individual seasons,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: single season records in Ceedee Lamb. Then you have a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: tied end that blew up at the end of the season.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Ferguson seems to be a problem now for for opposing teams.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: So when you factor that in and Cooks, I wasn't.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I thought that was great. What Cooks did? I mean what?
• 37:19
  Speaker 13: No?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: What in a thousand yards? But I mean they have
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a legit number one that you that they made sure
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: to get the ball to because lord knows, if if
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: he starts getting the thousand yards and we don't we
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: see ceedee lamb get a little bit, you know, dip
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit, Everyone's gonna be like, why can't they
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: get the ball to CD?
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: What?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: What's the problem? You know? So they got the ball
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to their star player and their number two guy was
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: pretty good. I have a hard time saying that anything
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: was wrong with with with Brandon Cooks. I thought it
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: was a really good passing game with that one two punch.
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: I just wouldn't say it was him. It was more
• 37:53
  Speaker 13: of when CD wasn't having a good game in the playoffs. Yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 13: it's like, man, there's a reason, there's a reason we
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: traded for Brandon Cooks. Is like, yeah, going and I
• 38:03
  Speaker 13: am him because like you're saying CD's new or who know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 13: and he's the big dog in the offense.
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah that's why.
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: That's why you fall on Brandon Cooks. But thanks for
• 38:12
  Speaker 13: your time, Nick, have a good day, man.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you too. And you know, I mean
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I heard a lot about Gallup and we know that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: was the case. But you know, I think, you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: you get them all back in for the for the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the second season of this offense, in this passing game.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I think it'll even be better because because this is
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be a time like there are teams that have
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys on the schedule that the defensive coordinators that
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: are like, we're gonna stop ceedee Lamb, Like we're gonna this.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna do this to us. This is what
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. If that happens, that's where Cooks and
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Ferguson have got to to to really shine, and I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: think that they will. But I would imagine there's gonna
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: be some teams that are that are really zeroing in
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: on how to stop uh CD Lamb this year. So
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Detroit should be one of them. I'm sure you know
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: he played Detroit. He went for two twenty eight on
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: them or something like that. I mean, that would be
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a team where you're like, Okay, we've got to make
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: sure and stop him, and you can't stop everyone. And
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: that's where Cooks and you know, and and Ferguson and
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Colbert and those guys like that are really going to
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: have to step up, all right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: Ray and fort Worth, Hey, how you doing.
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: Hanging in there? So I hear all these people complaining
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: them about Steven and Jerry, I mean that's how they are.
• 39:23
  Speaker 14: There's no good to complain. Now you can argue that
• 39:26
  Speaker 14: this just drafting and signing your own guys ain't working,
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: because it's definitely not. I think most of the frustration
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: with me is you look at the Eagles. The Eagles
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: are up against cap they sign their own guys. Now
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: they go out and get Sayklon Barkley. I mean, it
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: gets a little frustrating. And to me, yeah, you're gonna
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: be a Cowboys fan, and you because and Judy knows that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 14: But there's nothing wrong with having the Cowboys. Hand have
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: to earn your fandom. I mean, I'll give you a
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: quick story. I mean, when I grew up a Cowboys
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: fan and pretty much nobody else in the Cowboys fan.
• 40:03
  Speaker 14: My mother was a Daehard Saints fan, and she'd let
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: you know it, which is fun. But I grew up
• 40:08
  Speaker 14: back when I was a little kid camping in the backyard.
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: You know, have get a ten out, put it in
• 40:12
  Speaker 14: and put it in the backyard, and camp out in
• 40:14
  Speaker 14: the tent and watch Monday night football. So I've been
• 40:17
  Speaker 14: growing up there, and I've been growing up. I grew
• 40:20
  Speaker 14: up as a little kid reading Mickey Spagnola's Call Him,
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: you know, because the lady across the street would give me,
• 40:27
  Speaker 14: you know, she would always give me that part of paper.
• 40:30
  Speaker 14: So I've been a diehard fan all that time. But
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: it's to the point now there's nothing wrong with having
• 40:35
  Speaker 14: him earn your fandom. And if I could have a
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: player back to help this team that win. I mean
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: there was times that he was kind of like a
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: Sean Lee. I mean he could call out plays. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: remember watching the game. I can't remember the exact name,
• 40:52
  Speaker 14: but I remember the play. You could hear the mic.
• 40:55
  Speaker 14: It where the mic just picked it up so cool.
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: He would just like watch the shovel, Watch the shovel.
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: You can see him calling out plays. He I would
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: like to have him back because parcels, parcels, I remember
• 41:06
  Speaker 14: what he said about him. Dad wins just a football.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: Plan, do it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 14: If I can have ten more of those, I'd be
• 41:11
  Speaker 14: you know. So that's that's where I'm at. With that,
• 41:14
  Speaker 14: and and I think, you know, the Texans, that's the
• 41:18
  Speaker 14: Texans are doing what Dallas should have done when Dak
• 41:20
  Speaker 14: was on his rookie deal.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: See while they got a content when I got him
• 41:25
  Speaker 14: on a while, they you know what they got, they
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: got strit on a rookie deal. And you see what
• 41:29
  Speaker 14: they're doing. I don't know, you know, we got so
• 41:31
  Speaker 14: many holes and not enough draft picks. So it's gonna
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: be interesting to see what happens. Uh, it's gonna be
• 41:38
  Speaker 14: it's gonna be a rough season. I already know it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 14: So yeah, all right, thank you, all right, thank you
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: for what you're doing, and thanks for taking the calls.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Thanks very I mean, you know that you make some
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: good points. I think a lot of times people see
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm really I'm not trying to defend the Cowboys
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: on this. You just I just want to point out
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: that things are operated differently. You know, there's there's fifty
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: three guys on the roster, so and y'all know that.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: But my point is is that there's there's just different
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: ways to achieve the goal. And I think with Houston,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: you look at that rookie deal. Let's go and let's
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: you know, let's let's add some pieces around it before
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: we have to really pay strout that. That's kind of
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: what they're thinking now. This is also a team that
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: won like one game, two games or something like that,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: so they don't have any players, so they're they're they
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: gotta they gotta add some They're adding that's what they're
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: doing now. When Deak was on his rookie deal. Remember
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: this is a team that was pretty good just two
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: years removed from a really good team in fourteen, So
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: they had some players, so they they they've extended, they've paid,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they've done some things they had to, you know, pay
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: some of their own which is kind of what they
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: do now. Going to the Eagles, the Eagles have a
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: different strategy. They they they do not have the same
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: strategy as the Cowboys. I think the Cowboys are trying
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: not to be as top heavy as they been in
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the past and try to really spread this thing out
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: throughout their their whole roster from one to fifty three
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: that that doesn't leave them with a ton of holes.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Look at Philadelphia, I mean everyone keeps saying, look at
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, look at the Eagles. But but also like
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: when when it when it hits the fan, like it
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: hits the fan, you know. And and when people always
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: make that that reference about when it hits the fan,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: well what happens flies all over the place. And that
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Look at the Eagles, look at their team when when
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: they it's going well, it's going well. But once the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: injuries pile up and then they start having problems, the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: bottom drops out, and and it's happened to them before.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is because they they've got great,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: you know, pieces here and there, but they're not built
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: as deep. And and they made it to the Super
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of year twice now, so they've they've
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: had you can you could argue that that's the way
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to do it. They're gonna go up, they're gonna go down.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys do it a little differently. I'm not saying one
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: ways better than the other. I'm just saying, why do
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: they keep doing that? It's just because they'll they'll they'll
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: grab players at the to just fill up the bottom
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: of their you know, the bottom of their roster. It
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: hurts their depth, hurts their special teams. And there's other
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: teams that do that. Again, this is not me saying
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not crapping on what the Eagles do.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying they do it differently. That is why
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: that you'll see some of those that they're a little
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: bit more top heavy than actually trying to build it
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and stretch it out and have you know, really good
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: pieces all across the board. That's that's one way to
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: do it. So all right, let's go to Anthony and Miami.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: My gud Nick the quick what's up?
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: What's up about it?
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe? Hey man, just chill and catching the end of
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: the show. I want to throw my little two cent
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: in first of all, two comments frandom fandom. Let's hit
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: fandom again, not extreme as I went before, but I do.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: I would like to say if you're in the range
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: of forty seven and over fifty sixties, yeah, you've seen
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: some things with the Cowboys. You you know about the
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: two Super Bowls. You know about the Cowboys been America's
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: team in the seventies when the Pittsburgh still is basically
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: should have been there because they won four Super Bowls,
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: but the Cowboys taking that and in the nineties and
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: you were there of age to understand and realize what
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: those championships submit and how it brought us back, but
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: with the same token. If you're in that twenty five
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: year old to thirty two year old range and people say, well,
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: we haven't seen that, we don't know what the championship,
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: that's why you guys are saying it whatever, whatever. No, guys,
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: guess what you've seen though they haven't won one. They
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: haven't even went to a NFC championship game. But turn
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: on the TV. Who do you see turn on any Cowboy,
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: any media who do they talk about most popular teams
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: worth the most. If you rank twenty or seventeen weeks
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: of football the Cowboys and five of the highest rated shows,
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: I guarantee you are the five of the highest rated
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: showings every year for the last couple of years. Who's playing?
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Whose point are you making though? Are you making your point?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Are you making the fans that are frustrated, because that's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's how I frustrated, because it's.
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's not okay, now there you go. Let's bring
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: it home. Okay, so we're not let's blame what we like.
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: We said your team has been twelve or five my team, right,
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: Let's bring it home. The players. Cherry's giving you everything
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: you just haven't gotten it done. Yeah, you've had individual success,
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: but you haven't gotten it done. Players. I don't know
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: what why we can't get over the hurdle in certain games.
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: You're there, you're on the verge of that. Let's find
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: out why we can't get over that hurdle. Are we
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: lacking things? Are we lacking discipline in those games? Are
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: we lacking accountability? Because we were there two years and
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: two years two years in a row. We were right
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: there under seven points with the Niners, and yet we
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: got blown out last year by Green Bay. So let's
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: find out why we're not showing up in the big games.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: But no matter what happens on Anthony is saying it's
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna be a Cowboys saying I'm ride or die.
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: You can believe that and hopefully we get a championship.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: And makes you know as you brought it home, that
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: made that made a point there, I mean, because I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: was like, nobody cares about the you know, being on
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: TV and all that kind of stuff like like that.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: That part is only just it adds to the frustration.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: What it does, is it fuels It fuels these national
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you know, in the national media that wanted to just
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: hate on the Cowboys to say, you know, they're always
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: always in the news and they don't do anything, which
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: which obviously is their producer that puts them there because
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: they know that, you know, they drive ratings. I get,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: we get all that. But but yeah, I mean, you're
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: you're right about that. And I Anthony, thanks for the call.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: We got to keep it moving.
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: We got another call, but thank you.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: But but I'll say I'll say this though, and that's
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: why I never really understand all this, like you know,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: all the backlash right now for for Jerry and and
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: that you know they can't get the job done. When
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I agree with Anthony on that, Like you know, his
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: job is the general manager and the owner of the
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: team is to put together this this roster that can
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: go win and go compete and all through the year
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: get to that point. In the last three years, they've
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: done that. They put themselves in position to go out
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: win games and you know, in big moments, and they
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten gotten the job done. So I mean, because
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: we all know if Jerry tried to get in there,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, everyone hated when he was stepped a foot
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: on the sideline, not that that ever mattered. I've been
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines for many games. I don't I don't
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: factor into anything. So I mean, I'm just saying, but
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: like you know, they don't want Jerry getting too far
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: into it. He's not a coach, blah blah blah. But
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: yet so what he does, what he's a GM put
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: the team together and let him go win. And so
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: they've gotten there, they've gotten close enough, and then all
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, for whatever the reason, they can't. They're
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: not good enough. They just haven't gotten over the hump,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: you know. And is that Jerry. I don't. I don't
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: think so, but I mean, but they're you know, people
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: seem to think that it is. I look at the players.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: It's up to them, you know. I mean some of
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: these guys that had phenomenal seasons, they know, showed in
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And you put that on the coaching if
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you want, put that on the players whatever. But you know,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: at that point, you know, I think the hay was
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: in the barn go out there and win the game,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: and they didn't do that. I'm not I'm not saying,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: don't point I mean, you can points fingered everything, but
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: let's just let's be you know, let's be reasonable about it.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: How you doing good?
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: I'm actually calling from Disney World right now today here
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: with the family, and I had a little break, so
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: I thought i'd give you a call.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Well, there are breaks in Disney World. I didn't think
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: I mean nonstanp Yeah.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: They're on test track right now. They're on a ride,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: and my youngest is too little, so she's sitting here
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: chilling with the old dad and figure, I give.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: You a ring.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate that. That's definitely a first. I'd like
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: to see the side eye that you're getting there from Randa.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Who you're talking to? Oh? I'm
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: calling it on the always storyline here right right in
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: the middle.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Of I try to find a little nook here to
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: hide and maybe a limit the back. But I do
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: see a lot of cowboys fans walking around. I had
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: like three different jerseys walking on me while I'm sitting here.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I think it was pretty cool.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: That's cool, that's awesome.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, man, well so I guess in the spirit
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: of the happiest place on Earth, I's got two kind
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: of quick questions for you. So, out of the youngest
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: players on this team, and I guess we just go
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: with guys that are on their first contract, and maybe
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: let's not, let's leave out like CD and Mica. What
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: young player would make you the happiest to see succeeds
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: this year? Or maybe which one do you think is
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: the most important? And then the other one As far
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: as the draft goes, what two positions would make you
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: the happiest to fill with maybe higher and talent maybe
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: one one draft picks one through three for us, what
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: positions do you want to see filled with those high
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: end picks?
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, center, I really think you can get value
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: for center, and I'd like to see them draft a
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: center because I think that's a position you get a
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: good one, you can you can plug him in for
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: years to come. So I center would be one without
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a doubt there and then and probably like left tackle
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: because I just think if you if you hit those
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: guys can play ten ten seven years.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. And center is a little worrisome
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: for me right now because I know jpg's got some
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: medical issues haven't high in him this whole time, but
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: now he's got some medicals. So if the medicals, they
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: think the medicals are okay, I love to see that
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: guy go at twenty four to us, but I guess
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: we'll see.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the one player you said out to me
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: would be Mazzie Smith. I mean that just yeah, that
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: that cures a lot of things. You know, it maybe
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: helps your run defense, so he can play really well.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: And then also you know, maybe that draft classes and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: get you know, looked at as poorly as it's getting
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: looked at right now, if you can your number one
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: pick and can play well.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Mazie and then overshowing you coming back,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I think that those two things, if the defense were
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: to stay the same and those two guys could play well,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I think the defense becomes an elite unit for the
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: entire season, not just you know, half of the season.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely cool. All right, Well, good luck to you there,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Good luck on your wallet. They're at Disney World, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: have a good one. Thanks for calling, Thanks for taking
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a break there. All right, take that get and many
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: in Cinderella and all them that you know, you know
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: what took a break from them and call the storyline
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: love it. Uh, it's hard to compete with with with
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: with those characters. All right, Speaking of characters, how about
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Randy in Texas, Cana.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm on what I'm talking about?
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, you did decide not to hang up on
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: us this time.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: No, man, I'm kind of glad that happened. I was
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: sitting there in my truck listening to this little band
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: out of Nashville, Tennessee called Pickups Teach. They're pretty good.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: They're not country may rock. They right in the middle,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: and so they put me in a good mood. I
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: was thinking, I said, if you know, I'm almost glad
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: I did have to hang out Tuesday. I wasn't in
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: the right state of mind. I think I was just
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: I think I was just gonna make fun of some
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: some callers and probably talk bad about it. I didn't
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: want to do that. They're all cowboy bands. I got
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: love for them. But last Thursday show, towards the end
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: there there was one caller that had all them different
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: scenarios and whatnot, and man that maybe you want to
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: drive my truck straight into an oak tree listeners.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm glad you didn't do that, And I'm
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: glad you had some self control.
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: You know that.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: That's always that's something you know that I I could
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: do better at. You know, you think one way, you
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: know what, probably better not to do that. That's called Yeah,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: it's called maturing. Good job, did yob Randy. There you go.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: I felt good about it, So I thought i'd call
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: in and day helped me make up for it. But
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: and I had me a nice little funny draft up
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: and down scenario going. I already had it worked up
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: in my head how I'm gonna do it and everything,
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: and I just want to hear it.
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: Deal.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: But no, what I was going in for is how
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: many picks do we have this year total? Right now?
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Just playing six?
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: Six?
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: Okay?
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of a seventh six all right, anyway,
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: maybe they'll do a little work to that get some
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: more numbers.
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: But all right, with with the new.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Special teams that up, the way they're doing it, I
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: almost want to say they could take advantage of the
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: last two picks and look at them as instead of
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: pick number five and pick number six, they could be
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: pick one B, pick two B, and when you get
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: down there to the end like that, I apologize that
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: you hear that beep and that somebody shining.
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Anyway, those last two picks in the draft almost because
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: you know they rarely make the team. I'm sure some dude,
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: and there's a percentage and all that, but generally the
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: last couple pigs that you know, they're just kind of
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: extras to both those Strictly the special teams and the
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: scouts should put together like the top ten best special
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: teams or however many they want to do, just so
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: that they can cover their board special team players. And
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: when you get down to those last two gigs, if one, two,
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: three of the top three special team guys in the nation,
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: maybe instead of hey, I need an extra linement or whatever,
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: don't worry about their playing position and draft them strictly
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: on maybe trying to have the best special team. Because
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: with this new rule, if it plays out like they
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: wanted to, I there's there's a chance for some action there.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: And if you put together the right blockers, because I mean,
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be a bunch of little, young
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: six pack guys out there. It could be some big,
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: you know, boogers out there, as long as they know
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: how to put up their block shed blocks, get in
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: the right spot, and that man, there's there's a chance
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: for some stuff at and I think maybe they should.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: What do you think about that?
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm with you there that special teams
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: is going to be more important. I answered this on
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: a mailbag the other day that just that that while
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: that sounds good, we still don't know exactly what type
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: of player is going to be used there. Now it's
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: going to be some trial in there on where what
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: type of guys are the blockers on the kick team
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: kick return? And also you still have to fill your
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: team your backup players, So I don't think you're gonna
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: load up on this position or what. I still think
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be about the same. But to answer your
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: question about the the kick return, you know, like this
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: new rule, like we don't know that yet because nobody's
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: that's coming into the draft has ever played it really,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That's not what they do
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: in college. So it's just gonna be interesting to see
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: how it all shakes out. What you're saying is put
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: an emphasis on special teams. I think you're right with that.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I think what it is is this linebacker is pretty
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: good this one's this one's about the same, but this
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: one has actually played two or three years of special teams,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: punt team, punt return, kick return. That guy little Bowler
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: emphasis that way, and I'm not sure that's not the tiebreaker. Anyways,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: I see Fossil in the room. He's probably saying that.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so good, good point. Special team still needs
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: A big and you know, and and like you said,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: trialing there. So it may take a couple of seasons.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: But if any if this does go the way they're hoping,
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: and somebody can say, build eight special teams like you
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: would a offense or defense. And you cause, you know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: most part special teams, like you said, the extra guys,
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: the bottom guys, what if they weren't. What if you know,
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: several years down the line, you have a special teams
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: of top quality across the board and that could be
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: a large part of the game, you know, Yeah, and
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: they could they could do something with that.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I was let me stand corrected. There's seven picks.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Seven picks in the seventh rounds, so.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: Right, and you know, like I said, the bottom two
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: are usually just what do we got left? Just grab
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: the best one, like instead of it just being a
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: little bit of a throway big, actually make it count
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: this time, you know, and you might actually be able
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: to hold on a few of those bottom guys on
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Birds now and yeah. So it gives the players a
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: little more hope too, the ones that know they're not
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: in first and second day draftees. At least maybe they
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: have a little hope that, hey, I'm good at this,
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: maybe they'll take me for that.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: True. Yeah, just my adults, good thoughts. Well, all right, well,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: glad that you you called us back and got yourself
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: in the right frame of mind like it. Thanks for
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the call, Randy. We're up against it here. We're gonna
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: move on. One more caller, Thank you. We're gonna go
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: one more caller here. Wilson in Virginia Beach. What's up, Bud?
• 58:33
  Speaker 12: Hey, Nick?
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Good man? Are you great? Great? What's up hey man?
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: So I just got off work.
• 58:40
  Speaker 15: I haven't heard a word of the show so far,
• 58:42
  Speaker 15: but I heard a you know, the recording from last show,
• 58:47
  Speaker 15: and I kind of wanted to add something to that
• 58:50
  Speaker 15: caller who asked about trying to be optimistic about this
• 58:53
  Speaker 15: upcoming season. And so I was thinking about it. I
• 58:58
  Speaker 15: thought about it pretty much right away. One of the
• 59:00
  Speaker 15: things that that I'm optimistic about is the fact that
• 59:04
  Speaker 15: everybody's got something to play for, you know, not the
• 59:07
  Speaker 15: coaches and the players. A lot of players are playing
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: for contracts, not necessarily that they're on their last years,
• 59:13
  Speaker 15: you know, a lot of them are, maybe, but a
• 59:16
  Speaker 15: lot of them are still playing for something and the
• 59:18
  Speaker 15: season after that. So I just feel like a lot
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: of players, you know, after they get paid, not all
• 59:24
  Speaker 15: of them, but a lot of them. After they get paid,
• 59:26
  Speaker 15: they kind of, you know, lose production. I don't want
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: to say they get lazy, but they definitely lose production.
• 59:31
  Speaker 15: And I feel like with a lot of the players
• 59:34
  Speaker 15: that are playing for something, they're going to go all
• 59:36
  Speaker 15: out this season. And I feel like we're going to
• 59:37
  Speaker 15: get everybody's best. And you know, I feel like we
• 59:40
  Speaker 15: do get their best most of the time. But I
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: just feel like this is gonna be a little bit different.
• 59:45
  Speaker 15: I feel like there's gonna be a different feel there.
• 59:47
  Speaker 15: And and one more thing, one more quick thing as
• 59:50
  Speaker 15: well as whenever the media and our fan bases are
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: kind of not expecting us to have a great season,
• 59:56
  Speaker 15: we kind of flip it and have a great season.
• 59:58
  Speaker 15: So I kind of feel like that might be in
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 15: our favor as well when we're kind of underdogs.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it happens. You're right about that. All right,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Wilson, I said, you're the last one.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Chris keeps adding calls here. That's fine. One more thing
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: about this that I'll add in about what you said,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure that the players actually
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: lose production after they sign a deal. I think what
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: happens is, I mean, they might lose some, but I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: think more than anything, the expectations from fans, media, whatever, players,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: team owners, all that goes up higher. I mean like
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: it's just like, all right, you know, now you know
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: you're making you know, one point two million, but now
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: you're making sixteen, so we expect this much of a jump.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: And sometimes that's hard to do. I mean, it's almost
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: impossible to meet the expectations when the money goes like that.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: I've seen it too many times. You got a player,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: a really good player, he's young, up and coming, and
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: then they get paid and then they just get viewed
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: completely different, and you know, that's it. It's just hard
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: to to compete with with that with the expectations of
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: a big contract. So I think that's what happens honestly,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: more than anything about when a guy gets gets paid
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: like that. All right, one more called Johnson from Fuller
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: tre in California.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: Johnson, any Nick busy show today?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: Have made it in just in time?
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 12: I just want to say a few.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 10: Free agent questions. I couldn't listen live stuff he touched
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 10: him on already. Then that's fine, But Royce Freeman curious
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 10: on the are the numbers in for his contract and stuff?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: And what we paid for I'm curious just comparing to
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 10: all the running backs we didn't sign because there's too
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: much money. So I'm curious what we paid for Royce Freeman.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure anyone thinks he's the answer, but he's
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 10: the name in there that we're hoping works out. Also,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 10: I'm just gonna run through a few and then you
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 10: get Especi, so I know you're running late. Also, I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: remember a while ago, I think it was Girls Talk,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 10: Boys Talk, did an interview with one of the players
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: and they compared Kendricks as another Anthony Barr. I don't
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 10: know if that's a compliment. I don't remember loving Anthony
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: Barr's play last season. And last question, is there any
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 10: I know we won't be able to fill all the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 10: needs or wants we have in the draft where I'm
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: pretty confident we won't be able to. So are there
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 10: any positions or maybe specific names that are free agents
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 10: that you are like, wouldn't mind seeing going to free
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 10: agency instead of the draft. Like we're putting out a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 10: lot of REGs and baskets in the draft and there
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 10: has to be a few names like, oh well there's
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 10: this guy still out there, so maybe we have to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 10: see blah blah blah.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean you mean veteran free agents.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 10: Veteran anyone available that we're not picking up in the draft, Like, yeah.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: It could be okay, yeah, yeah, Well thanks for the call. Johnson.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Is that first time caller? First time caller?
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 10: No, no, third time caller? The curse California nine game?
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that, Johnson? Uh do you remember Fulton, California? Though?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. Appreciate that we'll go quickly there.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really have a lot of names
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: for you, but I know this that you get to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: this point where the cow that you have guys they
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: could sign. I'm a little surprised that they signed Royce Freeman,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: but you know, they're guys that that you can that
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: you can bring in. They're gonna wait and see what
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: happens in the draft, see you know what. But but
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: because running back is so thin that you can still
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna change. Royce Framan doesn't change their draft
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: strategy at all. It's just another guy. It's a big,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: big body, uh for sure, that can know maybe be
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: a goal line type back, short yardage back. Veteran, He's
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: bounced the rand, he's been with different teams, So I mean,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I think that that was just kind of you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: putting in a band aid on the position. You know,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: they had one hundred and sixty six total carries in
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL of among all the running backs with Dowdell
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: and Snoop Connor and Malik Davis and Duce and Lipke
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: and all them, and this guy's got like almost five hundred.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: So just more experience, been around, been around different teams,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: different coaches, different offseason programs, weight rooms, that kind of stuff.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I think could probably just be a good voice for
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: the for the room. And so that that's kind of
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: what I think about Royce Framan and what I think
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: about veteran free agents. As for the Kendricks comment, I'm
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: not sure. Didn't hear that, but but it's probably more
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: of an Anthony Barr type of comparison because of the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: relationship with Mike Zimmer, a guy that that has coached,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's played for Zimmer, played in
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: that system, understands it now, and the bar was here
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: he didn't play in that system. But Kendricks under stands
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: exactly what Zimmer is trying to do. He's the new guy,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: and yet he's probably he's probably understands what they're doing
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: way more than anyone else. So he's actually, you know,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be the veteran voice of the group
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: even though he's new to the locker room but not
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: new to the defense. Maybe that was what the comparison
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: was with Anthony Barr. Okay, fourteen calls outstanding went a
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: little over today, Josh Hope, that's okay, back there in
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: the back. All good though. We will see you guys
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: next week because it will be Draft week next week.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned to the schedule too. We'll definitely do the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: show on Tuesday. We're gonna look and see when we
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: might switch it, switch it up, do a Friday show instead.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Great stuff for Chris Beam, im NICKI even see you
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: next time on storyline.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 15: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 15: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
