  Speaker 4: football for you for the next hour and a half
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: or so. I want to hear from you guys. Eight
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: eight eight A five five two two nine seven. The
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Cowboys are in the middle of their OTA practices. They
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: got a couple more weeks of OTAs I think, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: then yeah, two more weeks of OTA's and then a
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: three day mini camp in the middle of June, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: then that's it until training camp starts in late July.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Mid to late July. Cowboys. Keep moving that date up
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: a little bit, we'll be there. Looks like practices will
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: be starting at that last week in July. Will be
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: there around May twentieth. I'm sorry, May twenty July twentieth
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: and twenty first is when Cowboys will be getting there.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's official yet, but it's around
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: that time and practice will start after that. But let's
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: talk about what they're They're doing right now, with OTAs
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: still still adding some pieces. I would think before we
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: get to training camp. I don't think that this roster
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: is completely set. That never really is. So we'll see
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: what kind of moves they might make, and I'll hear
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: from you guys on what do you think they should do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about it here, and let's go to our
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: first caller who's been holding for a little bit, Zach
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: in Germany. Zach, what's up?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Nick? How you doing, buddy?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you good?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Happy Memorial Day? Just take a moment reflect on all
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: those bets and what that sacrifice was. So I hope
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you had a good moment with your family.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Of course, thank you so much.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, last week I had through some softball that This week,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I want to bring it a little bit harder, play villain.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I want to start. I'm gonna bring the heat, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: before I hang up, I got to call out one
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of our captains, but I'll save that for the end,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: all right, So start with the running back room. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: think we had a great draft. However, running back room
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: scares me a little bit. Right now. It looks like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Javonte is going to be the probably RB one. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: know we have Blue and a couple other guys, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: one of the highlights some stuff with Javonte that makes
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: me concerned. Last year his his yards after contact. He
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: was ranked thirty seven out of you know, all the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: starting running backs and there's only thirty two, so yep,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: yards after contact is a concern. And he only had four,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: uh broken tackles for reference. The leader of that, of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: course was Derrick Henry he had forty two. So when
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you look at some of those stats and he's he's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: now going to be going into year three removed from
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that knee injury, I'm a little concerned with the running
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: back room. Doesn't mean that we're out of the running
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for making a trade or doing some other things, but
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get your thoughts on the running back
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: situation if I was looking at it now prior to camp,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it looks like, in my opinion, probably Miles Sanders is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a odd man out along with Duce Vaughan. But I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on that linebackers. If we're
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going to go into our base defense, who do you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: think are starting three linebackers? And then the last note,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like I said before I hang up, I got to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: call out Rob real Quick. Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he had mentioned his favorite player of all time was
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a New York Giant, Lawrence Taylor. I know he's a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: New Yorker. I'm a former New Yorker myself, but man,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that one, that one hurts a little bit. So I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on that, and I'll hang
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: up and listen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: All right, thanks, Zach. I guess I didn't remember him
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: saying that his favorite player of all time is Lawrence Taylor.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, if he did, he did,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I mean that it's okay. I mean like that, that
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean that's his favorite team. Uh, you know, the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Giants obviously not his favorite team. But if he you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: that's one of his favorite players. I mean, Deon Sanders
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: was was one of my favorite players. All right, Thanks
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: for the calls, Act, thanks for the call all right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Uh you know Dion Randy Moss. I mean, those guys
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: are some fun players to watch. They they did a
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: lot of their damage against the Cowboys. So you know
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: that's fine. We don't need to get into all of
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: that on on whose favorite player. Maybe. I mean, I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: sure he meant it more, but one of the best
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: players of all times. All right, let's let's go backwards
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: on the questions here for linebacker. You said, if they
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: go across the board on linebacker, uh in their base defense,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: who would it be? I mean, I would imagine early
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: in the season, if if Overshown isn't back yet, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: would say, you know, you're looking at at Kenneth Murray,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Leah foul Samborn as as as those three guys. Overshown
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: wool factor into that obviously, if he's here, probably you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I would think at some point maybe knock out Sanborn.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: But who knows, I mean, who knows how all that develops.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: But that's a good problem to have. You got three
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: solid linebackers. I think Overshown coming back would be really
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: good there, and I imagine that he would. I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: things have the narrative on that I think has changed
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: in the last few weeks or so. I think now
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: there's a little bit more optimism that he can come back,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: especially with what he looks, you know, out at practice
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: right now, just some of the rehabbing that he's doing
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: with our brace. I think, in my opinion, he looks
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: ahead of schedule. Again, not certainly not a rehab trainer
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: there for his knee, So I don't know exactly what
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: they're asking him to do, but it does look a
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: little bit more promising than I think we thought. As
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: for the running back spot, yeah, I mean all it
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: takes is one player two or here, two or three
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: plays where now everything changes for what the perception at
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: running back. And so right, just because Davonte Williams took
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: some snaps at the first then you know that doesn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: mean he's going to be the guy. And and and
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: you know we've seen sometimes running backs can kind of uh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: you know, resurrect their career a little bit. But probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: it is what it is as far as what Javonte Williams,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: what type it back he's going to be. You know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: they're going to try the committee approach, I would think.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: But you know, they would love for Jayden Blue to
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: take this thing over. But but he's going to have
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: to prove that he can do that obviously, And and yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: there's I'm not I'm not saying that they won't go
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: and make a make a move there. So I'm just
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: not as worried about the running back position as long
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: as because I love what they did It's not like
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: they went with Bass and Hoffman and then there they're
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: going with other runs. They went with the first round pick.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: They're trying to get better right up the front with
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: their offensive line. You get better at the at the
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: offensive line, then I think. I'm not saying you could
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: plug anyone in there, but I think it changes on
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: who you can put in there. And so that's what
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I like. They're kind of approaching this inside out, getting
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the offensive line as good as it can be, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: then after that, well we'll see what the running back
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: physician looks like. To me, I think Sanders is. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: ultimately think he's going to be the starting running back.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know why. I just feel like that that
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: will be the guy. You said he's the auto man out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I kind of think he might be the guy to start.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: That just goes to show what crazy running back situation
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: they have here. You've got guys. Some of the guys
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: could be the starter, some of them could be the
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: automn out. All right, let's go to Chris and Saratoga Springs.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Is that our next caller? Chris?
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Brian?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I don't see him on my list, Brian, what's up? Brian?
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Hey, Good morning, miss Eatman. How are you?
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: I'm all right, man. I wish I was in Saratoga Springs.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: It sounds like a cool place to visit, it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Does, doesn't it?
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Absolutely?
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, so I'm kind of following up on what the
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: last caller said and just in you know, like what
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: concerns you and obviously the running back room concerns him. Yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: and uh so for me, it's the defensive one tech
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: and of course cornerback. And here's here's my thoughts, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: then I'll hang up and listen to what you have
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: to what you think about it. I'm wondering, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: just looking at what we have at one tech, I'm wondering.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's third, the third defensive scheme
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: and coach in three years. You don't know who's gonna
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: like too, right, So I don't know what they're going
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: to get out of MASI obviously. And then we got
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: the two seventh round seventh round picks, and the guy
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: from last year is still here, and maybe somebody will
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: emerge out of that bunch, but I think maybe the
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: starter's not on the roster right now.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Just my thought.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: And then at corner. I actually don't want them to
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: go and get help because we got so many people
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: coming back. If they go out and get help, I
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: think that stops somebody from getting on the field. Well
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: you know, who's the help they get healthy? Who's they
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: get healthy?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Who's the help and who's the somebody? You know what
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I mean? Like like that, that's yeah, I've heard of
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: progress stoppers before, you know. I mean Deon Sanders stopped
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the progress of a Londus Bryce when he was here
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety five. I mean, I think that was okay.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So you know what I'm saying, Like progress stoppers is
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: not always a bad thing if you're getting the right
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: type of guy in here. So are you talking about
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: like a Kaylin Carson that that wouldn't get on the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: field or Revel maybe because you're bringing another guy in.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Well just look at it. I mean, if everybody's healthy,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: we have a good room. Yes, So you know, once
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: and at some point next year, you know, barring another
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: new injury, that's gonna happen, you know, with Rebel and
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Bland and Digs, I would love to I would really
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: like to see Elam and Carson and what was the
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: other guy that we laughed as we said, he played
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: his butt off last year. Butler, Josh, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: I would love to see them at least get a chance.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Sometimes a change of venue helps the guy, and maybe
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: that's the case Freedom. You know, he was he was
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: well regarded coming out of college. I don't know what
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: happened in Buffalo, but yeah, but he was. You know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: he was thought well of on all the draft shows.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: So that's that's my thoughts. And like I said, with
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: the one tech, I'm wondering if there's if that starters
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: even on the roster.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I'll hang up and listen to your answer.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: All right, Brian, thanks for the call. You know, one
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: thing I'll say about the defensive tackle spot, and you're right,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: you get a new coaching scheme in here. They like
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: who they like, and they they you know, they have
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: their favorites and all that. And Ebra I'll just say this,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Ibra Flus had a strong influence in the room undrafting.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it is. Iraku is probably a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: big example of that. Where they were looking at another position,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: they were looking at corner and and kind of in
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: the same boat as the rebel, you know, maybe getting
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: a guy that that's that was somewhat banged up, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: you know, he's still a good, good player. But as
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: a Raku was the one that that he wanted. Eberflus,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I say this to say that if if they thought
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: there was a that they couldn't get anything out of Mazi,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: that there was no one technique here that I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: think they wait till the seventh round to to to
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: get a Jay Toya, you know what I mean. So
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like they feel like that they they have
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: something there. And I did talk to Eberflus about before
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: they had signed re signed Osa and Mazzi, and you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: it was sort of off the record, just kind of
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: just chatting there when he first got here, and he
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: said he really really likes Osa and he really likes Mazzi.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So it's one thing to say that. It's another thing
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: to come back and say, well, you know, we didn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: draft and when you know, it's not like they were saying,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we love these guards we have and then they go
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and they draft Tyler Booker. I mean it's a little
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: bit different. So they didn't do it make any moves
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: at defensive tackle really other than than adding Solomon Thomas,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: who's really more of a three technique, and I think
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: he'll he'll have a nice rotation with Osa. But as
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: far as the one goes, you know, if they're saying
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: that they like Mazie, it looks like it because they're
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: they're going to give him, you know, a good opportunity
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: to take this job and and and keep it. I guess.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: All right, Now we go to Chris and Saratoga Springs,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Heynck, How are you good?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: How are you doing good?
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: The Belmont's coming to Saratoga Springs coming up in about
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: a little over a week.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: All right, Oh yeah, looking forward to that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: The Belmont Stakes. Is that that's a Saratoga Spring Is
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: it always.
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: There or are they just moving around now?
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: They moved into Saratoga while they're working on Belmont in
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: New York. I got you. Last year was the first
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: year was away from Belmont. So this year he'll be
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: back in Saratoga and then it'll be back in Belmont
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: the following year.
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: The track are you.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Are you like a trifactor guy super fa?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: It was it that I'm more of the exact guy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: exact box? Do you box?
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: For sure?
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: You have to box. Yeah, okay, you.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Have to box it because I'm always gonna lose im.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: It's trade.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: It's all going to be the opposite every time.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm dangerous at those places, and not
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: in a good way, not in a good way. First
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: time I've ever been to a horse track, I was like,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: this is awesome, But why do I have to wait
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: twenty five minutes to the next race? So I will
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: go inside to all the TVs and I'm just I'll
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: just go and and and make bets on other uh
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, like over losing it downs or something
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: like that. I don't know anything. I just like I
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: can't wait twenty five minutes for the next race. So yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: good times, good times.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: It is good times. I just want to talk about
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: the running back situation. I'm not really worried about it
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: like you. I think if the offensive line steps up
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: and like they I think they're gonna this year and
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: make that leap. I'm not saying you can put anybody
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: back there, but Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, I mean they're
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: all in there running backs to drafted. He didn't even
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: do fun. They're capable enough. If our line's doing what
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: I think they're going to do this year. I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: they're going to do well. My main concern for me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: You just talked about a defensive tackle. I really do
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: like the kid we drafted. I think Dane Brugler had
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: him as like a fourth round draft pick range. Yes,
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: I do. I do like him, and I'm hoping, you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: that could help us in the defensive tackle position. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: I'm more worried about the defensive tackle position. I'm not.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: I'm really not concerned with the running back really at all.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: To be honest with you.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, who do you think is the best one? Though?
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: I like Davonte Williams. I heard a report that he
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: said he's the healthiest he's been. He said he wasn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: even one hundred percent last year, and he said he's
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: the knee and he's as healthy as he's ever been.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Well since the injury, obviously, but if he's healthy, I
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: love him. Coming out of college, he had a really
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: good rookie year in Denver. I think if he's back
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: to the Jabaki Williams that everybody thought he was going
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: to be coming out of college, I think he's gonna
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: he's gonna do great things with Dallas.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think so too. You have anything else, Chris, Nope,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: that's it right, Thanks for the call always. Yeah. I mean,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: you gotta remember when they're when they talk about when
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Clayton is it Clayton Adams, When when they're talking about
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: what kind of running game they want, and you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: have this physical, violent type of running style. I think
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: he fits the mold of what they're trying to do there.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: So you know, again, different players in different schemes, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: think he might work a little bit better than what
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: they're trying to do. You know, James Connor in Arizona
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: may not work as as good as in other schemes
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: as I think he did there in Arizona. And when
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: you talk about running backs, you guys, are you're talking
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: about which player? I just I'm seeing NFL Network on
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the screen and they got the top I guess, top fifty,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: top one hundred plays of all time. I just can't
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: imagine Tony dors Sets run is number thirty five on
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the list. There's that ninety nine yard runs. You're not
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: going to find a longer run. You're certainly not going
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to find another one with ten players on the field.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine there's thirty four better plays in the
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: history of the NFL than a ninety nine yard run
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: shorthanded run at that for a Tony Doors set. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: maybe it's because he was my favorite player of all time.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And I remember the game. I remember. I didn't get
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: to watch it because it was Monday night football, had to
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: go to bed, but I do remember that that game.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine they're being better. But anyways, you talk
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: about the running back position, and I agree. I think
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: as long as that line is fixed, I think more
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: guys will be able to I think it will be
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: opened up to see who can could win that job.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: But I'm not as worried about it. All right, here's
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: another person. I'm not as worried about it as I
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: was before, and at least I hope not. And that's
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Randy in Texa, Canada.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: Randy, how we doing doing great? Brother's getting better every day?
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: That is so good. Every time every time I look
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: when you when you call in, I get excited because
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I'm like, man, he's back again.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Hopefully everything will get back to normal here real soon.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: I did get a little bit of a set back
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: on my news.
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: I hadn't found out yet, but.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: I thought I was gonna be able to escape having
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: to do treatments and chemo's and all that. And uh
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: my surgeon said, no, hold on on that, just for
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: a little bit. I still have to go to the
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: the cancer doctor, and he's gonna let me know if
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: I have to do add at. So that's still up
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: in there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: But you stay off the tractor, how about that?
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: That's hard, man. I'm getting a little stir crazy. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: so I'm always the type of person at lunch for
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: the good in anything that's bad. I've just I've always
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: been that way. But for some reason something sticking out
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: to me, and it's it's the opposite. Andess with the
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: Pickings deal, I love that we got him. I think
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: he's gonna be awesome. But I'm wondering if the Cowboys
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: is already handling this the wrong way. Everybody, the players,
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: the coaches, you see the interviews where they're saying, oh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: we've got two number ones, We've got two number one.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: Should we already be saying that? Because if Pickings go
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: out there and he starts putting up the same numbers
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: as CD, what are the chances you think he's gonna say, well, hey,
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: if I'm considered a number one and my numbers look
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: like this, yeah, might want to throw me one hundred
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: and ellion dollar contract. I don't see us being able
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: to do that with two receivers. No, So you think
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: that maybe they should have just held off on doing
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: all that bragging and let's just wait and see first,
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: you know. And I don't know, that's the feeling I'm
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: getting that it might be fine for a year, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: that might be all we had this guy because he
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: might want to move on.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: And I think the Cowboys understand that, and they know
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: that there will be a comp pick, uh, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: in the future if if he goes and signs a
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: big deal and then they can't re sign him, then
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: then that that would be the case, and then they
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: would probably go and and you know, and they'll they'll
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: draft the receiver number one, like they almost did this year.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: So that's probably what's gonna happen here. But I have
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I have a different take maybe on on that, on
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: on on how to handle it. But do you have
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: any other questions, righty or comments?
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Mad And I was just wondering about the Solomon Thomas
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: how how do you think he's gonna look for us?
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: You think he's big enough for us up front? Yeah? Okay, okay, yeah, don't.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: I don't know much about him, so I was just curious.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, obviously it doesn't matter he
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: was drafted third overall. I mean that that that doesn't matter.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I mean at this point, it's what what has he
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: done in the league. And also but also when you
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: have some talent like that he is, can can the
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: coaching staff get get enough out of you? And so
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: you know, I think he will be uh an active
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: defensive tackle that can get up the field, and you
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: know that that would probably give some good minutes and
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: and and have a good rotation with Osa. I think
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: that'll be a good competition there. I think it's a
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: good backup UH plan for sure, a defensive tackle. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: also when they want to move things around and maybe
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: play uh, you know, like a third and eight where
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: you want to you know, you want to have some
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: some some rushers, or maybe a third and third and
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: three or third and four where he could play defensive
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: end at times as well. So he's got some versatility.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: A little bit older, but but kind of like your
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Chauncy Goldstan type that can play a little bit.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: Both sides, right, gotcham I'll let you get to the people.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: YouTube man, stay stay healthy and keep calling us back.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: The part about the handling, the pickings thing and all that,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: you know. I think I think they understand that you
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: know what he's been and and that he's you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: he's he's kind of high strong, and you know that
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: they want to put him in the right environment and
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: get him feeling wanted. I mean, that's the thing when
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: you get traded. You've been traded by a team that
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: drafted you, and now you know what what does that
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: do to you? Emotionally? They they're they're welcoming him and
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: by doing that, there there's like you know, we we've
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: got a great player here. This is how they view him.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: And I think when you when you have a fresh start,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: you want to make sure it's fresh right. You don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: want to come into the situation and say, well, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: here's the one, here's the two. I mean, you've got
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: a guy in Ceedee Lamb who is you know, I
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: think he's a top three or four. I saw a
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: list the other day where they had him six the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: best receiver in the league. I think that's ridiculous. I
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: think he's he's top three for sure, and when you're
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: the when you're a top three, you're an all pro
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowl type receiver. To have another guy come in
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: here who who hasn't done what you've done and to
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: call him a number one also, it speaks pretty you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: it's pretty speaks volumes to me for CD to be
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: able to say that, because deep down he probably is
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: like I'm one and he's two. But he's not doing that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: He's showing that there's no ego here. And you're trying
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: to put George Pickens in the best space possible to
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: go and and and and be as great as he
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: can be. We know he can be great. We also
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: know and we've seen that that he can be detrimental
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: at times. So there, I think everybody's saying the right
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: things to get him in here and get him as
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: comfortable as possible because if he if he is comfortable,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: then he can go and ball out and be a
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: number one type receiver, and I think that benefits everyone.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: So I think I think that's the approach that they're saying,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Let's get him in the right headspace here. So he
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: can be the dynamic player that that we've seen on tape,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and we see more of that than we see of
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the other. All right, let me get to our next
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: caller here, Robbie. He's in Coco Beach, Florida.
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how are you doing good? How it's gonna
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: be hard to follow Randy up man, he's such a superstar.
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: But I hope to come in and lea, Hey, it's
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: great to hear from your Randy, that's for sure, my brother.
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: I agree with everything you said about Pickens, and I
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: think it works. It's kind of a no brainer, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: there's not a whole lot to add. If we do
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: great and he does well, then we've done well. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: if he goes and gets a great deal, then he
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: gets a great deal. And if he doesn't, then we
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: don't resign him and we go over there. Kind of simple.
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: I want to talk about tackles today, though offensive, end, defensive.
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: You're in the building, you see these guys. I've heard
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: good things about Gud and I've heard bad things about Guiden.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: I've heard good things about Moz, I've heard bad things
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: up Mazi. If you say Mazi's put on weight in
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: a good way right, and Guiden is put on weight,
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: but he looks slean. And if you can answer those
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: questions and talk about those guys, I'll take it off.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: There and appreciate it. Thanks, thanks so much for Robbie.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's just like with Schottenheimer. You know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: everybody's undefeated and winless, I guess, but but every everybody's
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: is great here in May and June. You know that
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: that's that's kind of where we are. And I think
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: you know, Mozzie's they're saying the right things. They're saying
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: the right things about Tyler Geydon. But you know, we
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: saw it last year too with Geyton and he kind
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: of hit that wall. Uh and and Mazzi's kind of
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: hit hit one as well, uh in his career. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: to sit here and say that that, hey, everything's great,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: you know they're turning the corner and this is going
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: to be the best year of Mozzi's career, which isn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: really saying a lot. I mean, you'd hope, so, you
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: know you would, you would hope, so for sure, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: mean having the best best career, you know, the best
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: season of MICA's career. I mean, it's kind of challenging
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: for him to do because he's had so many any
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: great years. But but to sit here and say that
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: these guys are going to be I'd be lying to you.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know, and no one else does either. They
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: can say that they're doing you know, they're on the
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: right track, but that doesn't mean that they are. Just
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: like with Shottenheimer, he's saying the right things, everyone's buying in,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: everyone's excited. He's kind of flipped the script, which is
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: an amazing feat. But you know, struggle in that first
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: game against Philly and then then we're back to reality again.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: So and that's the nature of the business. So I
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: just think everyone's saying the right things about Mazie, Tyler Goydon.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: It looks like they are ready to kind of turn
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: that corner, both of them, And not only would that
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: be great for them, but the Cowboys need it need
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: that to happen because they draft them in the first round,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: and you need your first round picks, especially when you're
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: not going to be you know, big in free agency,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: those first round picks have to hit, and for the
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: most part with this team, they do. These two right
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: here certainly have to and and I think we'll see,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: you know, we'll see what happens with them. But but
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: so far, so good. But then again, you know, you
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: wait till you can't even really wait till training camp,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: you know, and you gotta wait till the pads come
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: on and they're ready to hit. And in most cases
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: it's going to be early in the preseason, if not
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: just the regular season. So we'll find out. We'll find
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: out soon enough. All right, let's go to is it
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Chantel in Madison, Mississippi?
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's me.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: How you doing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: I'm doing well?
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: Thank you?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I'm great? Let's make sure first time caller. Yeah, there
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: we go. All right, Well what's going on with you?
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: Nothing? Nothing much.
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: Really wanted to dig in and talk about the old
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: lineman that we have on the team. I you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: I'm hearing a lot of people are talking about guiding.
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: I'm hearing a couple of things about Nate Tomas. You know,
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: I wanted to know, like when it comes to this,
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: I think Thomas, I mean, how is he looking out there?
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: Like how does he adapted to the offensive games? I
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: know he got drafted last year, we didn't get to
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: see him play, but like, you know, how what's your
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: what's your thoughts about that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: About Nate Thomas. Yeah, well, I mean his his big
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: deal is just has always been the injuries. I think,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: talent wise, if it wasn't for injuries in college, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: there were a lot of them, I think you're talking
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: about a third round pick type of player from a
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: talent standpoint, maybe better. But the injuries were serious. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: mean we're talking a cl we're talking I think I
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: think their shoulder, back, and and then you know, maybe
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a heart condition. So serious stuff
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: for him. But we you know, last year he was
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: banged up some as well. I think he's a sleeper.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I think he's a guy that if he shows that
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: he's healthy and he can just get you know, he's
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: no one's talking about him except for you, except for you,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: but no really calls in to talk about him. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: that could be a good thing. You know, it could
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: be a good thing if you can kind of put
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: it all together then then, especially because the big thing
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: going for him is that he can play both guard
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: and tackle, and so that's basically four out of your
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: five spots that you can plug a guy in if
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: he's healthy enough. He's certainly big enough and strong enough,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: so he's just got to put it together and he
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: hasn't done it yet, but that doesn't mean he won't.
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, that's that's really true. And I didn't know about,
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: you know, all the injuries in college, but yeah, that's
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: what I was just seeing, trying to see when it
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: comes to like putting our old lineman together for this
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: upcoming season, because you know, he wants him to be
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: the best. But you know, that's why I'm like, you know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: I want to sit of the information about him to
• 28:42
  Speaker 12: see what we kind of had out there. Hopefully, you know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: he makes it and he you know, stays healthy and
• 28:47
  Speaker 12: predits himself to be ready. But you know, I was
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: just thinking, you know, do you think Guiden is also
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: going to be good? You know, I'm hearing that they're
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: they're coming in and see at OTAs he's gaining a
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: little bit away or something that I put you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: just hearing the talks out there. But what's your thoughts
• 29:04
  Speaker 12: on him?
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know my thoughts on him? I kind of
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: said it in the last color too. I just feel
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: like he's done, He's doing everything right. He's got his body,
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: you know, in better shape. He was here a lot
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: in the offseason, so he did the necessary things to
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: kind of take that next step. This is when when
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: players take the biggest step, in my opinion, is that
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: first the second year, they figured out how to be
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: a pro, how to work out what to eat, what
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: not to eat, when to go to bed, when to
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: when to when to have fun, but when to be
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: serious about football. And so I think he's doing all
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: of those things now he's just got to put it together.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: And for him, and I hate to say it, it's
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: lining up right. It's it's figuring out, you know, get
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: getting your feet right in the middle of your stance.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: He's he's not played a lot of football in his life.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: He's just a great athlete for his size and he
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: he's got the feet for it. He's got to figure
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: out how to play left tackle in the NFL. Not
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: the easiest spot in the world, but I think he can.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: He's a smart guy and I think if he wants it,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: and it sounds like he does, if he wants it,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: then he'll make himself better. And I think that's what
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: he's on track to do right now.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, listen, appreciate you talking to me. Thank you

• 32:45
  Speaker 4: in Birmingham, England.
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: Mike, please tell me you can hear me this time.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: I can. How are you doing?
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, thank goodness, I'm good, Thank you. Yeah. I don't
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: know what happened last week, but it was fine when
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: I was talking to Chris, so I guess we can
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: agree that it must have been your fault. I guess
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: my fault.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, sure, why not? Hey, Mike, before we
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: get started, I just want to tell you, and I
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: said it off to the line, but thank you so
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: much for our jerseys. All right, yellow, that's Watford.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Right, yeah, yeah, no, you're very welcome and made me
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: laugh with your school bus comment. Welcome to my world
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: every Saturday. I just like a school bus.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: So that's okay, there you go.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: Now you're very welcome.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: How did they do this year Watford?
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: Well, they're in the Championship. They've been out of the
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: Premier League for a few years now and mid table.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: We're in a bit of a transition sort of time,
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: but not in danger of relegation, not really in danger
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: of getting promoted. So what'll see what next year brings.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: That's that's kind of the same spot as my team.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if I told you this story,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: but about ten years ago, maybe eleven, we were all
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: brought us was kind of leading the charge. Everybody wanted
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: to pick a team, so I just picked. I just
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: picked a random team from the Premier League. I picked
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Swansea and uh they were okay for a couple of years,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: and then they got down to the Championship League and
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: that's where they've been for a while. I still follow
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: them a little bit, hoping they will get up there,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: but they haven't, but it's probably about the same as
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Watford right in there.
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, similar size club. So so yeah, but that's
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: a that's a good show. It's far more interesting than
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: saying you're at Liverpool or Manchester United fan, isn't it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, all right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Well Mike, let's start Cowboys football. What do you got
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: for us?
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: Let's let's do that. A couple of things. First of all,
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: I've got the biggest news from this off season is
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: I'm coming to Dallas. I've got my tickets for the
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: Packers game flights, I've got hotel, I've got the long
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: suffering friend to come with me. So I am so
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: excited I cannot wait. So that's that. And just in
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: terms of a lot of people have been talking about expectations,
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: and so I listened back last week. Loved listening to
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: Michael from Bowling Green and his fourteen and three. I'll
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: certainly take that. But my take is I went very high,
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: very early on them last year, and we know how
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: that turned out. So I'm just kind of holding it
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: back a little bit. I think on that schedule, we've
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: got six games that you would probably have us as favorites.
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: For that doesn't mean me necessarily win them, but six
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: I think we should win. There are four that look
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: pretty tricky, where again doesn't mean we can't win them,
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: but you wouldn't expect it. And then the others, the
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: other seven for me, are all fifty to fifty games
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: and it's going to depend a lot on injuries and
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: how things go. All the unknowns. We don't know how
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: Schottenheimer's team is going to play. We don't know. We're
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: excited about pickings. I'm excited about pickings. We don't know
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: how it's going to pan out. The draft looked good,
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: we don't know how those guys are going to do.
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: So it's an exciting place to be because we're on
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: the cusp of a season that could go either way.
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: And just one more thing, just as a general NFL points,
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: just something that bothers me a lot, because we're coming
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: up towards the season now where we'll have the training
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: camp and then the pre season games, and in those
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: pre season games, we'll get to see some of the
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: guys that we don't see that often, and then after
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: that there is no game time for them whatsoever. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: you know, we were talking about soccer earlier, and how
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: in soccer teams, when the big teams have got a
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: young player, they loan them out to the smaller team.
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: So we've had a guy from Chelsea. His long term
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: future isn't with a team like Watford, but he comes
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: to us, he gets game time and he develops them.
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: Hopefully he goes back and has a great career with Chelsea.
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: Is there any scope in the NFL for, you know,
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: linking up with the UFL the CFL so that those
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: guys get some actual proper game time And with that,
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: I'll leave you to it and hopefully speak again soon.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you, thanks for the call, Mike. I'm
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: not one hundred percent sure what what what you're asking
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: there about about what they can do. You know, I
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: think NFL is going to link up with another league
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: or or or or at least at least you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: with those players, give them opportunities. I mean they will.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I mean the Cowboys have have have done it, and
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: I mean two of their all pro players have been
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: guys from the USFL, which is now pretty much the
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the the UFL. You know, the tricky part about getting
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: those players in is just that they've been playing football
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: like they're playing right now, they're playing football all summer,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: so they're in good shape, but they're also somewhat worn down.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: And so you know, to think you're gonna get a
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: guy in here that's going to contribute a lot, it's hard,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: it's hard to fathom, but it's happened. It's happened, and
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: it's happened a couple of times. So I think that's
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: you know, all teams look at it. They know, they
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: know that you can get some some good players there,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: and so that's you know, if that's what you're asking that, Yeah,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I think I think that all teams will be looking
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: that way. As far as any kind of connection joint
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: thing that, no, I mean, I don't see that happening.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: I would like that. I think that that would be ideal.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I think ultimately it would It would be great if
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: you could have sixteen teams in a league like that
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: where maybe two of them, you know, maybe each team
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: kind of goes to two teams, you know, for instance,
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: like a San Antonio would have a team and a
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: lot of their players are maybe allocated by the Cowboys
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: and the Texans or something like that. That would some
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: football brand in other cities you know, other markets, and
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: also would would keep them connected, you know, to and
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: they tried that with NFL Europe, you know, for for
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: a while. I mean, but personally, you know, I think
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: it would be great if they could they could do
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: some kind of G League type thing. But I don't
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: know if we're we're at that point, and I don't
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: know if that's something that Fell would ever want to do.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: All right, what's going on?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Not much?
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: Man, I ain't gonna lie.
• 39:32
  Speaker 13: I ain't gonna backtrack a lot because I have missed
• 39:34
  Speaker 13: a couple of weeks of getting the talk to you.
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: So I'll just say I'm ready for the season to.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: Start, just so I can call you a million times.
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: All right, But secondly, man, I was I know they're
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: not doing no hitting or nothing like that, but have
• 39:49
  Speaker 13: y'all gotten to see them line up as far as
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: the defensive line, because I've been very invested in the
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: Mazzie Smith things to say, drafted drafted him.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: So how does.
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: The front four little?
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: And like?
• 40:00
  Speaker 13: As far as like starting lineups, I guess maybe if
• 40:03
  Speaker 13: that you know, like I said, I know they're not
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: doing any hittings, but right once they run out there
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: and we know Micah's not there right now, but like,
• 40:10
  Speaker 13: how do they drop it in the first four and
• 40:12
  Speaker 13: who's coming in second team afterday if y'all have, if
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: they if y'all got in to see sit anything, because
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: those are the things that I kind of see. I
• 40:19
  Speaker 13: want to know what that rotation looks like.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I can tell you right now. I can tell you
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: how they lined up the very first time that they
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: did it. They had at the left end spot was
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Dante Fowler and the tackles were Osa and Mazi and
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: then the right defensive end was Peyton Turner former first
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: round Yeah, Peyton Turner. So again that you know Mica
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: is out, Sam Williams still is still rehabbing an injury. Uh,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: And that was the rotation ahead of Marshawn Kneeland, ahead
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: of Zaraku. But it's the first its first game, I mean,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I mean it's first practice, not even a game. So
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: and Schottenheimer even said that you're gonna see guys running
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: with the first team that aren't going to be first teamers,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: and you're gonna see guys, you know, moving sometimes they're
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna jump into the first team. They're just
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: trying to get all the combinations out there together. So,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: uh but Peyton Turner is the guy that people forget
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: about and uh.
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: Right, right, how does he look? I mean because I
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: don't know nothing about him. I know he's a firmal
• 41:16
  Speaker 13: first round pick, but as far as anything else, like,
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: I don't know, I don't does he does he have
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: any stats to go back on or is he just
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: a big body? Like another body right now?
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: That he's he's a he's a guy that that has
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: showed it in college to the point where they like somebody,
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: you know the Saints for like, we gotta draft him.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: He is not He's not lived up to that. Uh
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: he and mainly because of injury. And so last year
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: he was healthy and I think that that you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: he showed you might have had just a couple of sacks.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: But I do think from a from a disruptive standpoint,
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: from pressures that he puts some stuff on tape that's like, hey,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: if this guy's starting to turn the corner, let's let's
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: let's get in on this. He's you know, six six,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: two seventy, so he's a big guy and he's you know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: obviously the Cowboys liked him, must have liked him coming
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: coming out as well, so you know, but it was
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: it was a cheap you know, look at a guy that
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: that has has has had some potential in the past.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: It but he's gonna have to I mean, is he
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: more of a run stopper or a passion I would
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: I would at six six two seventy, I mean, he's
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: almost a power forward, so I would you know what
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would think probably, you know, I would
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: say probably, not not one of either, which is which
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: is why he's in the boat that you know. I
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: don't think he's a true pass rusher, but he's a
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: probably guy that can hold the edge a little bit there.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: But all things considered, you know, Micah Dante Fowler and
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: then I would think they would you know, Kneeland as
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: a rock. Who's Sam Williams. I mean, I have Peyton
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Turner about as sixth when it's all healthy. But if
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong, great, you know. Yeah, So it's a good
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: problem to have, especially when your number one guy is
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: arguably the best in the NFL, you know, because that's
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: you know, that's gonna make and I always think, you know,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know how much football you watched back in
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: the day, but Fredi was great for the Colts. But
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: you know he made Mathis on the other side pretty
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: good as well. And you could have that kind of combination,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: you know, Carl Banks on the other side of an LT.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: You know, a Fowler kneeling and Azaaku that that's a
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: that's a you know, great combination there with Micah.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: And I understand that.
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: But I'll leave you alone.
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: I mean, I'll leave you and talk to you when
• 43:38
  Speaker 13: I get a chance, and I appreciate it later.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, Lewis, hold it down there in Langston, Oklahoma.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Let's keep it moving here. We're gonna go to California.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: We got Jonathan in Fullerton, California.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Nick.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: How you doing good?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: How about yourself?
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Doing great here? Not as early as it is out
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: there in California. I appreciate you.
• 44:06
  Speaker 18: Yeah calling this morning, Yeah, absolutely, just catching on my commute.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to call in and thank you.
• 44:15
  Speaker 18: For adding me to the Storyliner's third team.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 44:22
  Speaker 18: Last season, I was calling in a lot more. At
• 44:25
  Speaker 18: the beginning of the season. I was really excited. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 18: got to see view my first win in person after
• 44:32
  Speaker 18: going to ten games and finally seeing a win. But
• 44:37
  Speaker 18: I was a little embarrassed when you're announcing the teams
• 44:40
  Speaker 18: and he called my name and it sounded like he
• 44:42
  Speaker 18: didn't really remember me calling in.
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: And that's just because.
• 44:47
  Speaker 18: As the season went on, I kind of got less
• 44:52
  Speaker 18: positive things. I felt like I wanted to contribute to
• 44:55
  Speaker 18: the show, and like nothing I could say could be
• 44:59
  Speaker 18: so as well as Rob was saying it. So I
• 45:04
  Speaker 18: just wanted to like personally say that, like you added
• 45:07
  Speaker 18: me on the Storyliners team, like that re inspired me
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: that there is still joy to be had as a
• 45:18
  Speaker 18: fan even if you don't have positive expectations for the season,
• 45:24
  Speaker 18: like I think.
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: We might do.
• 45:27
  Speaker 18: Fine whatever, there's so many variables and as a coach
• 45:31
  Speaker 18: and staff and everything. But despite all, like maybe some
• 45:38
  Speaker 18: low expectations for the upcoming season, it's just it's still
• 45:41
  Speaker 18: a joy to be had. Before I wasn't thinking about
• 45:45
  Speaker 18: driving over to Auxnard, but now now I do. Yeah,
• 45:49
  Speaker 18: So like, yeah, just to see you again and maybe
• 45:54
  Speaker 18: shake your hand on the seed. Maybe if I get
• 45:56
  Speaker 18: that tumblr, I can get your autograph on it, just
• 46:00
  Speaker 18: to make it special.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, I don't know if it's the best
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: thing to have autographed, but we can figure something out there.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: But but yeah, hey, uh, you're you're on it. The
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: first team. The guy the captains on the first team
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: get exactly the same thing as the as the third
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: teamers do. So, uh, you're on the team, and we
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: appreciate it. You appreciate the call of it. And hey,
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: I know how tough it, especially when you're in California
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: and it's like a little different from a time zone
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: standpoint to call early in the mornings when our show
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: is I appreciate the callers that we have all over
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: the world. I would say country, but all over the world.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: We've had two calls from from out of the country today.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: But uh, I appreciate all the calls and and and
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: I get there's people on the list that were they
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: called twenty times in the first month, and I'm like,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: oh my god, he's going to be a captain. And
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: the next thing, you know, something happens, life happens, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: you and you work more, take a different shift. And
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Joe and in Stanford, I mean, he called all the
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: time when we first started, and now he can't call
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: as much anymore. I get it. That doesn't mean you're
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: you're not as dedicated, doesn't mean you don't listen when
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: when you can. Totally appreciate that. But but that being said,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: the callers is what drives the show. So we appreciate
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: your call when you can, and appreciate the guys that
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: call every show. Whatever works for your schedule. Glad, Glad
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: it happened. Glad you're on it. And uh yeah, I
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: look forward to seeing you guys and a lot of
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: guys at training camp. Uh this year. All right, let's
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: let's go to Ali in Florida and I get.
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: Those people on the list.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: Hello, how are you good?
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: Pretty good?
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Sir?
• 47:42
  Speaker 19: A couple of questions. Uh, my concern is Guython on
• 47:49
  Speaker 19: the left tackle, if he play up to par I
• 47:55
  Speaker 19: think you're gonna have a very good chance to be
• 47:58
  Speaker 19: able to finish me great records. That's the only concern
• 48:03
  Speaker 19: I have there. But everything else is just like depend
• 48:06
  Speaker 19: on the oppositieve line, how they're going to play. Second,
• 48:09
  Speaker 19: I've got a question for you. I have four or
• 48:13
  Speaker 19: five different assignments between assigned to photograph a lot of
• 48:18
  Speaker 19: tribal region in Africa. Papua New Guinea and Amazon in
• 48:25
  Speaker 19: the summertime. So I was thinking, if you like, since
• 48:30
  Speaker 19: you want to promote the show, I was hoping to
• 48:33
  Speaker 19: get a little small flag or little writing on their
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: storyliner and then pretend give it to the tribe with
• 48:44
  Speaker 19: all the painted faces and they make a shout out
• 48:47
  Speaker 19: to a storyliner so I can text it or maybe
• 48:51
  Speaker 19: send them to Chris. So you can promote the show
• 48:55
  Speaker 19: in Africa and you like a four or five different
• 48:57
  Speaker 19: regions in the summertime, if you like, I would love
• 49:00
  Speaker 19: to do that, but with your permission, So that's what
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: I have. Then. Also, I'm photographing the Publio in July.
• 49:09
  Speaker 19: If you know anybody for mom or your wife there Catholic,
• 49:14
  Speaker 19: I told christ as well, if you need any Roseerry,
• 49:18
  Speaker 19: I'd be more than glad to bring you some other
• 49:21
  Speaker 19: than that. Love your brother. Talk to you.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: Later, all right, see you later. We can talk about
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: some of that stuff down the line. Now. You asked
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: about about guiding or you said that you think he's
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: the key. Yeah, I agree, I mean, and they don't
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: have a ton of options there. If it's not him
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: on the roster, then it would be awesome. Richards, or
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: maybe they've got some other guys. Is it Hakeem a dinnergy?
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: I think that's how you say him his name. He's
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: a veteran, it's been around a little bit, kind of
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: a journeyman type guy. But they're they're putting a lot
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: of you know, they're they're putting a lot of expectations
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: in Tyler Goydon. He's he's got to be the guy here.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: And and I think that, you know, how how he
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: goes is how this offense is going to go for
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: the most part, because I mean, you got to keep
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: your your quarterback protected. You got it, you gotta trust it.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: And the more you think about how good I mean
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: nothing against I mean, Jason went In's a Hall of Famer.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: If if Jason Witten didn't have Pro Bowl left tackles,
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean Flozel was there early and then
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: and then Tyrone Smith, and I mean they had great tackles.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: And if you have great tackles, then you don't have
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: to stay in and block. You can go and make
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: catches and make plays. And so I think the better
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: that your tackles are, the better this offense can be.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: Because you don't have obviously don't have to help and
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: then these tight ends with the receivers that that that
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: they have on the outside. I think Ferguson Schoolmaker can
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: be very, very good, but if they're having to stay
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: in and help chip block, then maybe maybe not as much.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: So I think I think as good as Guiden and
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Steel are. I think that's what's going to be. How
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: good the Cowboys offense will be this year? All right,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: let's take one more break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll
• 51:16

• 53:10
  Speaker 4: How are you not too bad?
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Pretty good? Nick?
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: Nick?
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: I just heard you speaking about you guys were talking
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: about the offensive lineman. I didn't get to call in
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: last week. I didn't realize that it was switched to
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: yeah that's right. Well yeah, so I didn't get to
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: say anything about the schedule, Nick, Not for nothing, but usually,
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: like for like a third when you're like third or
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: fourth in your division, right, you should get an easier schedule.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: It's like the NFL did us no favors. It's like
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: we played them. We it's like we were in the
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: first place. I was like, wait a minute, what's going
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: on with this schedule?
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you got to you know, then think
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: about it like this. When you're you have had seventeen games,
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: three of the seventeen games are really against what you
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: did last year. So if your first place team, then
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: you're gonna play three first place teams. If you're a
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: third place team, you're gonna play three third place teams.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: Now it just so happens that that the Cowboys are
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: you know, are also they're facing two divisions that had
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: three teams in the playoffs. So your third place games
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: that that because of where you finish. If I'm doing
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: this correctly, your third place games are against the let's see,
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: it's the Panthers, the Jets, and I'm missing one one
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: of the Cardinals. Panthers, Jets, and Cardinals. Those are your
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: three because you finished third, that's those are the three.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Every everything else is It would have been the same
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: whether you were finished first, second, third, or fourth.
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, is that and the way our schedule was made,
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: because yeah, that's a we're getting no breaks. It's like
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: there's no breaks in that schedule. To be honest with you, Yeah,
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: they'll give us a ten day break here, but then
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: you're playing well, I think we're playing like two or
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: three times this season back to back within like what
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: is it, within like four days or something like that,
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: we gotta play. I think we played Kansas City and
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: then Philadelphia's like or Philadelphia first and then Kansas City
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: is like turn around like within like a short amount
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: of time. It's ridiculous that part of the schedule. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: just didn't. I just thought we got.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: The you know, the other end.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: Of the stick on that because they did it through
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: throughout the season. It is kind of based like that.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: So they did us no favors. When it comes to
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: the schedule, it's all right, we're gonna play those teams,
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: but man, give us a break. At least let us
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: get a don't promote, don't promote health, you know what
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. Promote You know, we're going for safety and
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: all this stuff, and then you give us, out of everybody,
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: you give us this schedule. So I'm sorry, but yeah,
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: I appreciate the schedule too much. When it comes to
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: the composition, I heard you mentioned about the offensive tackles,
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: and I really would love to see if they gave
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: awesome Richards a chance to play either the left to
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: battle it out for the left tackle or the right tackle.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Because they keep them promoting best five, best five. All right,
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: let's see, let's see what everybody's got. Let's see if
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: just because this kid was a late first round pick
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean he's gonna, you know, take over and give
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: it to him and make him battle for it. Make
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: Austoin Richards look pretty good before he got hurt last year.
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: So I was kind of disappointed when he did get hurt.
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: And and you know mean Nick, until until we could
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: stop that run, until we could stop the run, man,
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: I want to see what we got in in our
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: nose tackle. If we could stop the run, I don't
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: I don't care about corner back, I don't care about
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: any other position, and we could stop the run because
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: you go way with your scheme, you know, cover your
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: guys in the cornerbacks and stuff like that are very
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: least decent. Uh So stopping that run is number one
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: priority for me. So thanks for taking my car next week.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: All right, appreciate it. Thanks for the call. A couple
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: of things about what you what you mentioned about the schedule.
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: They you're right, they play four games on Thursday nights. Uh,
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: that's I don't think that's ever happened. I know that
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: didn't happened with the Cowboys. I don't know any other
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: team has done that. Of those four games, two of
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: them are going to be short weeks. Obviously, the Philly
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: game to start the season, that's just the first game.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: So you're not, yeah, that's not a short week. You
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: got you gotta I mean, you can start preparing right
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: now for Philly and they're gonna give it to Barklaying
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna if it's third and one or two
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: or fourth and one, they're gonna do a tousch push,
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: so you know, you can start preparing for that. The
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: other Thursday, the games, obviously Thanksgiving, that's a short week.
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: This is the first time in a long time that
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys are actually playing at home before Thanksgiving. Usually
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: that because they are always at home and the road
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: teams coming in they have to be the Cowboys have
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: been on the road there, but this one now it's Philly,
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: so it's not like it's a huge break, but they
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: are home there, so that is a short week. Then
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: the next after Thanksgiving, then the next Thursday is the Lions,
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: so it's not a short week, but you don't get
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: a break after playing the Super Bowl champions, then the
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl runners up, and then in a week now
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: you got to go go to face Detroit and who
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: embarrassed you last year, and they were the number one
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: seed in the NFC, so you got to go up
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: against them. So and then the next Thursday game is
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day. That's a short week. You're playing at home
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: against the Chargers and then going there at Washington, which
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: my family loves that schedule. They love that that I'm
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: going to be in Washington on Christmas Day. I know
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: beams that probably the same way. Yay, yay for Christmas
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: on the road. All right, let's go to Uh And
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: then one more thing you said about Austin Richards and
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: Tyler Guidon and hoping that they don't hand it to him.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: Tyler Gouyton got benched last year for too money, doga.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: You know, they and this is a different coaching staff,
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: but they they had to, They had to play a
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: different guy because he just wasn't ready. So I don't
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: think they're gonna hand it to anybody. If if Austin
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: Richards is better, then then you know, now he's gonna
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: have to do it with limited reps. It's not the
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: easiest thing to do with offensive line is to beat
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: out somebody ahead of you when when they're trying to
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: build continuity and chemistry at the same time, it's hard
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: to do that. So but if he's better, then then
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: he'll play. And that's probably the same with just about everybody.
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Gregan's Sacramento.
• 59:55
  Speaker 14: Hey, Nick, how good man?
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 59:59
  Speaker 14: I'm doing well? Been I've been trying to call in
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 14: for for a while. Uh, but they're kind of a while.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: I'll try to keep it short. But first, I just
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 14: the very first thing I wanted to say is just
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 14: give a shout out to Randy.
• 1:00:08

• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: down to camp.

• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: that will be there that I'm like anxious. I'm anxious
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: about that, and I'm a little bit I'm a little
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: scared about how that's gonna go down, but.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 14: I think it would go where. Everybody's pretty pretty advocable.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 14: It seems like on Twitter, I know, discussion is the headiot,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 14: but it's all it's all in love for the Cowboys.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: Great, all right, well we'll see. So what do you got?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: What do you uh, Just just so you know, I
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: don't know if you heard this what you said, you said,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: shout out to Randy or you know a lot of
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: people Randy called today. I don't know if you got
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: to hear that part. Randy called in. I didn't gave
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: a little bit of about date. Sometimes people that call
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: are so busy calling that they don't get to hear
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: the show. Randy did call, and he's doing pretty good.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: So that you go back, Well, man, that's awesome.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 14: I'll definitely go back and listen. Yeah, for sure, that's
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 14: great to hear. Thanks for that update. Because I didn't
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 14: get to hear that. I'll try to call in so yeah.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 14: But anyway, so just really quick. I know, like I said,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 14: I had a lot of stuff I just wanted to
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 14: I'll just hit on a few quick points and I
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 14: haven't been able to talk about. I love the Seadenheimer pickup.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 14: I love the Pickens pick up. And I actually have
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 14: a question for you on Pickens. So a lot of
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 14: people are like, I've been hearing a lot of comparisons
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 14: of him to Deaz Brian or whatever it is as
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 14: far as his uh, you know, his emotions or his
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 14: love for the game and everything like that. Yeah, So
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 14: my question for you is, remember in training camp when
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 14: when Dev Brian and Jordan Lewis kind of got into
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 14: it like that, the competitive wise. So I'm wondering, who
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 14: do you think on on our R DVS is gonna
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 14: be the Jordan Lewis to the George Pickens death Brian.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 14: Does that make sense?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: That's makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: of sense, And it's an important question because it's it's
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: not just who's going to battle, it's it's you know,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: who's going to be your ass kicker on defense? Who's
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: gonna who's gonna be that dog? And that's that's great
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: to have because the offense just can't punk the defense
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: every time out because everyone knows it that when we
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: get to the games, you know they're gonna roll over.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: So des didn't win all of those battles all the time,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: and and and and he made those guys better. You know,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: who is it gonna be? I mean I'm looking, I'm
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: looking right now, you know, like like I'll tell you
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: who has the personality for it. But if Jordan Lewis
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: couldn't play slot corner, then he wouldn't be the guy,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's the same with calling
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: anybody a leader. Nobody that's a good that it wasn't
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: a great player, wasn't considered a great leader. So you
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: have to do that first. Mentality wise, I don't think
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: anyone's gonna be gonna be punkin Juan yer Thomas. Okay,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: but is he is? Is he good enough to do?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: You have to have to back it up, you know
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: what I mean. You could sit there and talk all
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: day long, you know, I mean. The Cowboys had a
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: cornerback that actually threw some hands with Dez and caught him.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember, got Himed Tyler Patman,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: but he got no he got in a fight, and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: if I remember correctly, got in a fight at training
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: camp with Dez. I gave him. I think i'd give
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: him a ten to nine on that on that round.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: But but was he a great player? Like no, you know,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: Like, so.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: You've got to be able to back it up here.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: So who that person is? You know, Donfred Wilson's not
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: taking any crap from anyone, I mean, any of these
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: guys are. But but but it's a great question because
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: who is going to develop it? Because if they're gonna
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: sit there and talk and talk and talk and talk,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: at some point you want your defensive guys to say
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: enough is enough. Who that person is? I don't know yet,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: but I but I wouldn't have picked one Jordan Lewis
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: either until he kind of developed into that. But you
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: gotta be a great player. You got to be a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: great player. You can't just sit there and and and
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: and and talk it if you're not going to walk
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: it for sure. Great question.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 14: Yeah, they and I and I like to you know,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 14: I like how Jordan Luis. He kind of was a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 14: lot smaller I think than dead right, So I you know,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 14: I like that size didn't matter you know that Jordan
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 14: Luis was there to just push him and push him.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 14: You know, I'm hoping that someone on the defense, like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 14: you said, will step up and just kind of not
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 14: just with pickings but with the other receivers too, you know,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 14: with CD and kind of challenge this offense. But but yeah,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 14: and then I just briefly I wanted to mention the schedule.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 14: Why does it feel like it's a first place schedule?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 19: Man?
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 14: It's some tough games, and then you know, in advance,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 14: I just want to say I appreciate you guys. I
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 14: know you guys are gonna have to travel on Christmas,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 14: and you guys gonna have to travel on or you know,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 14: work the Thanksgiving game, which you guys already do. But
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 14: but uh man, it's just it's brutal for most you
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 14: guys and the stairs it seems so. But anyway, thanks
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 14: for taking my car.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: I really appreciate you.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: All right, sounds good to answer the part of the
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: schedule I did talk about it about why it's you know,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: from a third place schedule standpoint, you're facing the Jets, Panthers,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: and Cardinals. Why it feels like a first place schedule
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: is because you get matched up against three divisions every year.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: I mean where you play everyone in the vision. Obviously
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: the NFC East is one of them, and you play
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: them twice, that's a given. And then you play one
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: NFC division and then one AFC. One why it feels
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: so bad is because the NFC division that you matched
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: up with it has three playoff teams from last year,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: including the number one seed in Detroit, then Minnesota, then
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: Green Bay and then the Bears, who I think everyone
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: thinks it's going to be a lot better with a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: new coach and they got a good young quarterback. And
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: so that that's four teams from the NFC North. Then
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: you've got the AFC West, who just so happens to
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: have the Chiefs, and then the Chargers and the Broncos
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: both made the playoffs. And then you've got the Raiders,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: who you know that they're probably like the Bears, where
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: you're like, well, you know, they got a new coach
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: and new excitement and that's gonna be interesting too. So
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: that's your two divisions, not to mention your own division
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: that has two teams in the the NFC Championship Game,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: so you got to face them four times total. And
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: then the Giants who they've added some pieces too. So
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: that's why it feels the way it is is the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: divisions that you matched up against are if my math
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: is correct, that's eight playoff teams, and then you play
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: two of them twice, so that's ten games right there
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: that you have to face three, three, and then four
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: of four of your division games. So ten games right there.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: That's why it feels like a first play schedule. All right,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: let's go to Jeff in Salt Lake City, Utah.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: How are you hey?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: Good?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 20: Long time, It's been a while since I talked to you,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 20: so sure. Just a couple, just a couple of comments
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 20: before my question.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys have discussed this today.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: I just got on.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 20: But in regards to the coaching change with Schottenheimer, at first,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 20: I was a little skeptical, But after hearing Schottenheimer over
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 20: the offseason and all that, I think, uh, I think
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 20: we got a good opportunity to maybe find someone, uh
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 20: maybe a hitting gym with him. He seems like the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 20: players seem like they respect him, and I like his fire,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 20: I like his energy so far, so I'm kind of
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 20: excited about seeing what he can do this year. I
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 20: really was happy with the draft. I love the fact
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 20: that once the wide receiver was taken early. I thought
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 20: going best BPA was fantastic.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: I'm with you.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 20: I loved replenishing that guard spot to replace Zach Martin
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 20: during retirement. I thought that was great, and I really
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 20: loved the first three picks. I think we got three
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 20: potential starters right there.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 20: But my question for you, I know in past shows
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 20: you guys have talked about the secondary, and just based
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 20: on last season and how we had that doric corner
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 20: with all the injuries once Digs went down, I still
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 20: feel it's a little concerning, especially with Diggs probably going
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 20: to be winding up on pop and then losing Jordan Lewis.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 20: In your opinion, is there anybody outside of Bland that
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 20: could potentially move into the slot and play that position
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 20: and let us keep Bland outside. I know he would
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 20: prefer to play outside, but he seems like a team guy.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 20: He's willing to move back inside if necessary. It just
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 20: seems like we're still kind of in that position that
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 20: we were last year with the injuries. We have one
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 20: solid starter, but now we're also down our slot with
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 20: Jordan Lewis being gone, So if you could possibly touch
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 20: on that subject a little bit, I'll take your answer
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 20: off air and hopefully I can get in with you
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 20: later on.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: Nick.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you for sure, good to hear from you. Thanks
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: for the call, Jeff, you know that that's another really
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: good question about who can be the slot guy. Now,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that Elam it has the potential
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: for that. Kyer Elam. Now, of course he's another outside
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: guy too, so you're talking about moving you know, outside
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: and inside. But it's not the worst thing in the
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: world to have a guy move inside because think of
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: it like this. If you have a great receiver that
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: can that can line up in the slot, then you
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: know he's looking for mismatches and so the greatest players
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: are the ones that can line up all over the place,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: So you kind of want a guy that can line
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: up with them. It's not the worst thing to have
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: a bland that that can slide inside it, especially if
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: it's like we need you to guard this guy. You're
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: going against Washington, here's Debo or here's Terry McLaurin or whatever,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna line up all over the place. Well,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: I want my guy to line up all over the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: place too, because I don't want them just finding the mismatch.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: So I'm I'm okay with that. I'm okay. At least
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: you have a guy that can play inside. Now, in
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: a perfect world, you got two great ones on the
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: outside and then you got one on the inside. That's
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: kind of what they had with Lewis. I don't think
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: they felt really comfortable with Lewis playing on the outside
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: all the time. I think Elam can do it. We'll
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: see if Kaylen Carson's that that type of guy. And
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: when he gets healthy left Revel can can can be
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: that because he's played a lot of different places. Now,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: you know, we saw him a kwamu in there again,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: that's kind of more of a safety. But but you know,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: we'll see how Iberflus does this, and maybe he has
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: a different you know, tricks up his sleeve. But good question,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's it's a it's a huge
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: problem right right this second, because you you want to
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: you want to have three or four good corners that
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: can do it, and ideally you would like to have
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: two that can that can line up in the slot.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: I know Bland can do it. Not sure about the
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: second guy just yet. So a great question. A great question.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: I've had a couple in a row that are like
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: good questions that we still need to figure out.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 8: Here.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go. This is our last caller here,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: Lester in Minnesota.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Nick.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 10: And I'm doing good?
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 10: Hey, I still got some concerns about our defensive tackle,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 10: you know, on the offensive and defensive line guy. I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 10: think the seventh round pick serves, I guess be okay,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: but what are you hearing about that? Also, I think
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 10: that we should as far as our offensive line if
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: it if it works really well, I think we should.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 10: I know they say they want to run the ball,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: but I think we really should run, run, run, run
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 10: the ball because, like I was saying before, in the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 10: nineties we were a run heavy team. I don't know
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: the percentages, but I watched them a lot, so I'm
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 10: going to say it's probably was like fifty two run
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: forty eight pass, but it was real close, fifty fifty
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: something like that. And then just to comment on I
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 10: think the first caller about when he commented about Rob.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 6: And his favorite player.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 10: My favorite player played for the Raiders at corner back.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 10: He had the same name I get less, Lester Hayes.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 10: So I don't know if that really matters, but I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 10: just want to throw that in there.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: So what do you think, Nick, Well, I think I
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: think it's okay to have a favorite player from another
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: team or whatever.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, I loved I loved watching Michael Jordan too,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: but when they played the Mavericks, you know, I cheered
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: for the Mavericks, you know. I mean, that's the kind
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: of the way that it is. They didn't really have
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: a player like that. So I get it. I get it.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: But you know, as long as as long as you're
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: pulling for your team and not not so much the player.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 10: I mean, I've always been a cowboy man. But you know,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 10: like I said, in high school, I played corner so
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 10: I modeled game.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: After that's that's awesome. I'm sure you got a penalty
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: or five. Uh there, awesome. I'll answer the the the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: defensive defensive tackle positions of what you're asking about defensive tackle,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: you know, from what I'm hearing, I mean, well, they
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: like these guys. They they like Jaytoya, and they they
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: they like you know, Mazzie. Only time will tell if
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: if that's what we'll find out when we get you know,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: when the pads come on in training camp, and we'll
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: see if if if they can can hold up, and
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: we'll see if they're they're you know, if if somebody
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: has given Tyler Smith some problems, then maybe it's gonna
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: be pretty good. You know, if someone's having having a
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: hard time with a Nate Thomas or or you know,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: and no offense, then these guys that are backups. But
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: we'll find out at training camp just just how how
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: these guys can can perform.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: So all right, all right, and then uh, you know
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 10: again until we get a good, great offensive and defensive
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 10: line at the same time.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 7: This is what we got Cowboys.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: All right, go cowboy a right? Sounds good? All right, Lester,
