- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:02Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:04Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:24Speaker 1: What is up?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman.
- 0:29Speaker 3: It's January twenty ninth, Thursday, and this is.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Not the draft show.
- 0:35Speaker 3: This is the time slot for it, but all day
- 0:38Speaker 3: long there's going to be shows in different spots, and
- 0:43Speaker 3: except for Hanging with the Boys, I think they're in
- 0:45Speaker 3: their regular Thursday at one, but all day long everything else.
- 0:49Speaker 3: This is pretty much the regular season type of format
- 0:53Speaker 3: for our shows.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Because we've been out of the office.
- 0:57Speaker 3: I would say some of us are back in the
- 0:59Speaker 3: office today, not everybody. But it's been crazy here, just
- 1:03Speaker 3: as it's expected. I mean usually what they say and
- 1:06Speaker 3: I know we don't talk weather, but the weather has
- 1:08Speaker 3: affected everything here so that when they say it's going
- 1:11Speaker 3: to be bad and bad and you kind of roll
- 1:13Speaker 3: your eyes like, we'll see, well, it was pretty bad.
- 1:15Speaker 3: I mean it's the kid's been out of school for
- 1:17Speaker 3: four days, so we'll see about about tomorrow. But glad
- 1:22Speaker 3: to be back here with you guys. And a lot
- 1:24Speaker 3: has happened and a lot is still happening with this team.
- 1:27Speaker 3: And Cowboys are I guess since I mean, they've added
- 1:32Speaker 3: Christian Parker. I can't even remember if that was something
- 1:36Speaker 3: we discussed on the last show.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I don't believe it was. And now now some other
- 1:41Speaker 1: coaches are coming and going.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Looks like they're going to interview a few guys here today,
- 1:46Speaker 3: keep adding Pro Bowlers. You know, I'm always get a
- 1:50Speaker 3: little uncomfortable when the Pro Bowl number gets higher than
- 1:53Speaker 3: the win total. That's where I think it's a little excessive.
- 1:56Speaker 3: And that's what's happened. They have eight Pro Bowlers now
- 2:00Speaker 3: for this seven win team. But you grow your eyes
- 2:03Speaker 3: all you want about the Pro Bowl and say a
- 2:05Speaker 3: doesn't matter and who cares, it's a joke and whatever.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Whatever you say, then that's fine in your I'm not
- 2:10Speaker 3: going to disagree with you. But you know, when we're
- 2:14Speaker 3: sitting here, you know, down the road like we are
- 2:17Speaker 3: now with the guys like Jason Whitten and Darren Woodson
- 2:20Speaker 3: and trying to get into the Hall of Fame, and
- 2:22Speaker 3: they're like, well, Wason should be there. I mean, he
- 2:25Speaker 3: made five Pro Bowls, he did this, he did that,
- 2:27Speaker 3: he was on Super Bowls, all this stuff. I mean,
- 2:29Speaker 3: Pro Bowls don't ever seem to matter until you're looking
- 2:31Speaker 3: at that kind of stuff. So wait till Tyron Smith
- 2:34Speaker 3: comes up, Zach Martin come up, and then we're looking
- 2:36Speaker 3: at how many Pro Bowls they had and things like that.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It matters.
- 2:40Speaker 3: So for Ceedee Lamb to get there and five straight
- 2:42Speaker 3: for him and he's him and Irving are the only
- 2:44Speaker 3: receivers ever to have five in a row and five
- 2:48Speaker 3: total for the Cowboys. I mean, that's pretty that's pretty good.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Cavante Turpin's got, you know, three in a row as
- 2:55Speaker 3: a kick returner. I mean, Devin Hester had four and
- 2:58Speaker 3: he's in the Hall of Fame. So I'm just saying,
- 3:00Speaker 3: I'm calling I'm Devin Hester. I'm just saying, that's the
- 3:03Speaker 3: kind of stuff when you use that stuff to kind
- 3:06Speaker 3: of compare. So it's become a joke as far as
- 3:09Speaker 3: a game and all that, but it's still an honor
- 3:12Speaker 3: and it's something that people, you know, look at to compare.
- 3:15Speaker 3: All Right, let's go to the phone lines at Chris
- 3:17Speaker 3: Saratoga Springs, New York. Chris start us off.
- 3:19Speaker 4: What's up, man, Let's go Woodie for the Hall of Fame.
- 3:22Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it every time I call speaking into existence.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Let's go Woodie.
- 3:28Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I just want to say huge hire with CP from Philly.
- 3:34Speaker 4: One of my best friends is an Eagle fan and
- 3:36Speaker 4: he he pretty much was devastated that we stole him
- 3:39Speaker 4: from the Eagles. I think it's a huge higher for us.
- 3:43Speaker 4: I like how he's young. It's not a normal higher
- 3:46Speaker 4: for the Cowboys. We don't normally hire coordinators that are
- 3:49Speaker 4: young in experience, with no defensive coordinator experience. But I
- 3:53Speaker 4: love it. I think everywhere he's been he's done great
- 3:58Speaker 4: with the corners. I mean, look at Green Bay with
- 3:59Speaker 4: Al Alexander, and then he went I think the Denver
- 4:02Speaker 4: with Simmons and Patrick Certan. Then he went to the Eagles.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Big play SLAVEH had a heck of a career with
- 4:10Speaker 4: the Eagles and he was a big part of that.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Everywhere he's been and the obviously the guys he has
- 4:14Speaker 4: now number one picks, but everywhere he's been he's done
- 4:17Speaker 4: a great job. He's a young, energetic teacher and that's
- 4:22Speaker 4: I think what was shot. He was looking for as well,
- 4:24Speaker 4: So I'm a huge fan of that hire. I wish
- 4:29Speaker 4: they would also. I think they just interviewed him, the
- 4:32Speaker 4: one from the Ravens or I'd love to get him
- 4:35Speaker 4: as well onto the squad. I think that would be
- 4:37Speaker 4: another hire that would be great for us. I just
- 4:41Speaker 4: like the direction we're going with these younger, younger coordinators,
- 4:45Speaker 4: and I think it's gonna it's gonna bold well for
- 4:47Speaker 4: us in the future.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Okay, yep, I don't disagree at all, And thanks for
- 4:52Speaker 3: the call, Chris. You know, now that I think of it,
- 4:55Speaker 3: we did not.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Have a show.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Since the since the hiring of Christian Parker, and you know,
- 5:04Speaker 3: I kind of treat coordinators and assistant coaches sort of
- 5:10Speaker 3: like the draft, where I'm like, I'm not going to
- 5:13Speaker 3: try to tell you that I know what they do
- 5:14Speaker 3: and what they bring and things like that. A lot
- 5:16Speaker 3: of times when you bring in a coordinator that you know,
- 5:19Speaker 3: it's probably because he's been a head coach somewhere and
- 5:22Speaker 3: and got fired. That's what happened with Dan Quinn's having
- 5:26Speaker 3: with Matt ebraflus Rod Marinelli. You know, I mean that
- 5:31Speaker 3: that's kind of what had happened here, and so you know, him,
- 5:36Speaker 3: but you don't, you know, you don't necessarily why they're here,
- 5:39Speaker 3: isn't isn't really why they're here. So so in this case,
- 5:46Speaker 3: the things that I liked about him are the things
- 5:48Speaker 3: that Chris just mentioned here about you know, he's thirty four.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I mean, he's a young guy. Now.
- 5:54Speaker 3: That means he's inexperienced in calling plays and calling defenses,
- 5:57Speaker 3: and there's going to be some of that. But I
- 6:00Speaker 3: like that. I mean, it was a definite, definite shoddy higher.
- 6:03Speaker 3: I mean, this is and I and I really believe
- 6:07Speaker 3: that this is some growth from the Cowboys too. You know, uh,
- 6:11Speaker 3: the Cowboys have made a lot of these moves on
- 6:13Speaker 3: defensive coordinator and then all of a sudden, now they're like,
- 6:16Speaker 3: we saw what Shoty did last year on offense. We
- 6:19Speaker 3: saw how he put together a staff hadn't really worked together,
- 6:23Speaker 3: and but you know Clayton Adams here and Connor Riley here,
- 6:27Speaker 3: and you know Junior Adams and and things like that,
- 6:31Speaker 3: and it's like, all right, you know, and it worked,
- 6:35Speaker 3: it worked pretty good. So now looks like he's kind
- 6:37Speaker 3: of letting him do the same on defense, all right.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Irene and False Church Virginia. Irene what's up?
- 6:42Speaker 6: What it did?
- 6:44Speaker 7: No, no, no, you.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Can't be it's trademark. You can't be doing that.
- 6:48Speaker 8: Maybe you can't call it it at the weird time.
- 6:52Speaker 8: So I told him I'd give him once anyway.
- 6:55Speaker 9: So last of my call it.
- 6:56Speaker 8: It was worried that we'd wait for Leonard and lose
- 6:58Speaker 8: out in Parker Jones. Obviously, the very next day they
- 7:01Speaker 8: hired Parker. Very proud of the process thorough you know,
- 7:05Speaker 8: like you said, he's young, but I hope it translates
- 7:08Speaker 8: to great secondary development, look into rebel for sophomore growth,
- 7:13Speaker 8: and then maybe we even use a pick like vnstor
- 7:15Speaker 8: DELAYNE twelve for LSU or both. I mean, hey, he
- 7:20Speaker 8: needs to help the people who are here. We can't
- 7:21Speaker 8: get rid of our entire team. So and it sounds
- 7:26Speaker 8: like he's really highly respected around the leagues, right, so
- 7:29Speaker 8: you know, we might not know that much about him,
- 7:31Speaker 8: but people around the league think this is a good hire,
- 7:33Speaker 8: including his former players, a bunch of them.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Chimed in.
- 7:36Speaker 8: Right, Also, sounds like you might be on the head
- 7:39Speaker 8: coach track. So do you think the Cowboys are planning
- 7:42Speaker 8: for that with by bringing like Zach Orr even this
- 7:45Speaker 8: Ryan Smith from the Cardinals, to have somebody under him,
- 7:49Speaker 8: to have the succession plan in place, because if he
- 7:51Speaker 8: gets poached in two years, we know you don't want
- 7:53Speaker 8: to start everything over again. And then last thing, we
- 7:57Speaker 8: do have a space tonight, Twitter eighties through seventh Central.
- 8:00Speaker 10: All right, thank you by.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Hey, Irene, thank you for the for the call.
- 8:04Speaker 3: And also and uh when I when I got into
- 8:08Speaker 3: the studio, I mean I asked Chris, do we have
- 8:11Speaker 3: any callers? He said, yeah, we have two, And I
- 8:14Speaker 3: mean I could have just written down Irene.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I mean I could have just said it. I'm sure
- 8:18Speaker 1: one of them is Irene. And it was.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Because if there's a new schedule, I know that you're
- 8:24Speaker 3: going to step up. And not only are you going
- 8:26Speaker 3: to call in, you're gonna probably make sure others around them,
- 8:30Speaker 3: around you know this community know, hey, new showtime. Nick
- 8:34Speaker 3: needs us and I do, and you called them and
- 8:37Speaker 3: that's why you're a captain. Speaking of we're getting we're
- 8:42Speaker 3: getting to that time again where I'm starting to calculate
- 8:45Speaker 3: things and numbers and calls and looking at at at
- 8:50Speaker 3: T shirts again. I'm going back to the T shirts,
- 8:53Speaker 3: especially if we're gonna sponsored by Gillette gotta put Gillette
- 8:56Speaker 3: on the T shirt and let them pay for it, honestly.
- 9:01Speaker 3: But we're starting to, you know, trying to see how
- 9:04Speaker 3: first team, second team, third team captains, all that good stuff.
- 9:09Speaker 3: But these first two callers, I'm sure are going to
- 9:13Speaker 3: be on there, and third one as well. Brian Kansas City,
- 9:16Speaker 3: what's up man?
- 9:18Speaker 6: Good morning, sir?
- 9:19Speaker 1: Are you so?
- 9:21Speaker 6: I'll just say, because he can't call in today at
- 9:23Speaker 6: he's everybody, Sergeant seussend his love. He had an appointment
- 9:28Speaker 6: this morning, couldn't couldn't call in, so he let us
- 9:32Speaker 6: know that he'd be thinking about us.
- 9:34Speaker 1: He's at the gym.
- 9:39Speaker 6: Yeah that could be, Yeah, yeah, that could be. He's right,
- 9:46Speaker 6: he's right.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Next to the rock, pretty close, pretty close.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And he's got that eyebrow that working too, so he's
- 9:53Speaker 3: got a good eyebrow game. And he yeah, yeah, he's
- 9:56Speaker 3: maybe not as tall, definitely not as tall.
- 9:59Speaker 6: Anyway, Well, you know, people have already talked about Parker,
- 10:05Speaker 6: so I'm just glad to have I thought, you know,
- 10:08Speaker 6: you and I talked about this on the last call.
- 10:10Speaker 6: I thought Louis was a good, hire, proven guy. He
- 10:13Speaker 6: was going to help our linebacker. So I just don't
- 10:16Speaker 6: really have an opinion on this one, you know, I
- 10:18Speaker 6: just yeah, we know the Eagles defense has been pretty
- 10:22Speaker 6: good in the last couple of years, That's what I know.
- 10:25Speaker 3: And they're and there he's the DB's coach, and you know,
- 10:29Speaker 3: Cooper de jene and Quinnon Mitchell, they've been pretty good,
- 10:33Speaker 3: I mean real good actually, And so yeah, he coached
- 10:36Speaker 3: Pat Certan. I mean, I think we both could have
- 10:40Speaker 3: probably helped Pat get to the All pro level, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 3: I mean he was destined for it. But but we've
- 10:47Speaker 3: seen corners drafted in the top ten, you know that.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I mean what j C.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Horn was right behind him, and I don't think it's
- 10:52Speaker 3: been the same. He's been good, but not not to
- 10:54Speaker 3: that same level. So sure, I mean, Parker, I'm sure
- 10:58Speaker 3: he helped Pat Stan I'm sure he did, and certain
- 11:02Speaker 3: says he does he did, so that's good enough for me.
- 11:05Speaker 3: But it sounds like at a young age, he's still
- 11:08Speaker 3: developed and he's been around. He knows what a good
- 11:10Speaker 3: cornerback is supposed to look like. And so if that's
- 11:13Speaker 3: the bar, he's like, Hey, I've had this guy and
- 11:15Speaker 3: that I've had this guy, and that's what I'm trying
- 11:17Speaker 3: to find great, because if you get close to that,
- 11:20Speaker 3: that's still way better than I think what we've seen here.
- 11:23Speaker 6: Well, you know what I wonder too, because of that
- 11:25Speaker 6: run of people that you just mentioned, I wonder if
- 11:28Speaker 6: he was if he's one of those people that is
- 11:30Speaker 6: kind of a good evaluator, yes, talent at least at
- 11:34Speaker 6: that position, because it seems odd that he would have
- 11:38Speaker 6: that many really good people in a row, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 6: unless he was involved in some way.
- 11:44Speaker 4: It could be luck.
- 11:45Speaker 6: It could just be you know, luck of a draw.
- 11:47Speaker 6: Those were all high rated people coming out, you know,
- 11:52Speaker 6: but it does seem like he's done something that there's
- 11:57Speaker 6: some glue there that brings it all together.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 6: So that's it for me today. Man, thanks for taking
- 12:03Speaker 6: the call. Hope you get yourself dug out over there.
- 12:06Speaker 1: We're good. Thanks.
- 12:10Speaker 3: But you know, when you're when you're talking about you know,
- 12:14Speaker 3: like voices in the room and stuff like that, those
- 12:18Speaker 3: are some things where what do he was say?
- 12:22Speaker 1: You know, he got those guys picked.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if it's just him or not,
- 12:26Speaker 3: but it maybe he's very fortunate that he he landed
- 12:30Speaker 3: at places where they were drafting corners. But he's been
- 12:33Speaker 3: able to develop young corners and and get him to
- 12:37Speaker 3: play at that level. And like I said, just because
- 12:39Speaker 3: you're drafted high doesn't mean you're going to be good.
- 12:42Speaker 3: We've seen that here, we've seen that at other places.
- 12:45Speaker 3: So he's gotten he's gotten young players to play at
- 12:49Speaker 3: a high level. And and that's kind of what teachers do.
- 12:53Speaker 3: And that's the name, that's the word I just keep
- 12:55Speaker 3: hearing about him. Teachers. Teacher. He's he's a teacher. He
- 12:59Speaker 3: knows how had to relate. He's thirty four, you know,
- 13:03Speaker 3: I mean he so he now being a DB's coach
- 13:07Speaker 3: and moving up and being a defensive coordinator. Different step,
- 13:12Speaker 3: but they are. You know, it sounds like he just
- 13:14Speaker 3: blew everyone away when he was here for his meeting
- 13:17Speaker 3: and it wasn't even close apparently, So you know, they're
- 13:22Speaker 3: excited about it, and I think we should be excited
- 13:24Speaker 3: about it as well, because, like I said about the offense,
- 13:27Speaker 3: they they they put together an offensive staff that that
- 13:31Speaker 3: did really good things. And it wasn't like there were
- 13:34Speaker 3: six of them from one spot coming here. I mean,
- 13:36Speaker 3: it was kind of a hodgepodge group here. You wouldn't
- 13:39Speaker 3: have known that it was, you know, different, So that's
- 13:42Speaker 3: what I think they're trying to do here, and we'll see,
- 13:44Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. All right, let's go Dylan, Northport, Florida, Dylan,
- 13:47Speaker 3: what's up?
- 13:48Speaker 9: Hey?
- 13:49Speaker 1: That's gone good?
- 13:50Speaker 6: How are you good?
- 13:52Speaker 11: This Christian Parker thinks pretty cool? Man takes pretty cool.
- 13:56Speaker 11: So what something we all hated about Iberfus was it
- 13:59Speaker 11: was a static coverages. You know, playing oftentimes too deep.
- 14:03Speaker 11: You send the linebacker to go take a deep, deep third.
- 14:06Speaker 10: Or something like that.
- 14:07Speaker 11: You know, on Tampa two, your corners are playing twelve
- 14:09Speaker 11: years off the ball, and it was just the same
- 14:10Speaker 11: thing over and with Christian park Are coming from vic Fangio.
- 14:14Speaker 11: You can only assume you're going to see the too
- 14:17Speaker 11: high shell before the snap.
- 14:19Speaker 10: But what they do is they shift.
- 14:22Speaker 11: That covers a lot. They'll shift like a cover three,
- 14:24Speaker 11: or they'll send a man down, you know, and like
- 14:28Speaker 11: a robber situation or something. So you're gonna see a
- 14:30Speaker 11: lot more disguises, which is something that we hated last year.
- 14:33Speaker 11: We didn't get any of that. It was just too
- 14:35Speaker 11: easy for quarterbacks. Right, And something that people don't think
- 14:39Speaker 11: about with us Hire too, is the is the Rooney rule.
- 14:41Speaker 11: It's something to consider when I think you're interviewing these
- 14:43Speaker 11: guys is if he does go on somewhere else and
- 14:44Speaker 11: we're getting ahead of ourselves with him getting a head
- 14:46Speaker 11: coaching job.
- 14:46Speaker 4: But you know, if he.
- 14:47Speaker 11: Does, all of a sudden, now you're getting two third
- 14:50Speaker 11: round picks, you know, one in back to back drafts
- 14:52Speaker 11: upon his departure. So if that's the case, if he does,
- 14:54Speaker 11: you know, good enough, and then gets hired somewhere, So
- 14:57Speaker 11: that's kind of a hidden benefit as well of this
- 14:59Speaker 11: higher there's connections across the league with the guys who
- 15:03Speaker 11: are bringing in here and the guys that are in
- 15:04Speaker 11: the draft. So as far as the secondary goes, I
- 15:06Speaker 11: think they might end up drafting us secondary player here
- 15:09Speaker 11: at twelve or twenty with some of these connections. Like
- 15:11Speaker 11: a month swore Delane and the guy they just hired
- 15:13Speaker 11: here from Arizona, I forget his name, but there's a
- 15:15Speaker 11: lot to be excited about man and uh I remember
- 15:18Speaker 11: looking forward, I don't care that he's young. Paul, Every DC,
- 15:21Speaker 11: every head coach, everyone has been successful. They had to
- 15:25Speaker 11: start somewhere at some point in time, and this guy
- 15:27Speaker 11: was on fire. He was a hot name. And I'm
- 15:29Speaker 11: glad Dallas bucked the trend and you know, no, no
- 15:32Speaker 11: more retreads. We're going with kind of unproven guys who
- 15:35Speaker 11: are on the up and up and you know, looking
- 15:37Speaker 11: forward toe what he can do, no.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Doubt about it.
- 15:39Speaker 3: I think that's that's a great call, Dylan. I think
- 15:42Speaker 3: you're all over it. And I think that's what happened here,
- 15:46Speaker 3: and that's that's what That's what's got I think cowboy
- 15:50Speaker 3: fans somewhat excited. It's got us excited in the building.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Is we're seeing things done differently and you want that
- 16:00Speaker 3: to continue, and especially when you get into March free agency,
- 16:05Speaker 3: you kind of you want to see some some changes
- 16:07Speaker 3: there in the philosophy and how they how they do things.
- 16:11Speaker 3: And the sense is that that's going to happen. But
- 16:15Speaker 3: I don't want to get too ahead of myself here
- 16:17Speaker 3: and say, oh, we've heard this before, because we I
- 16:21Speaker 3: guess we have, right, I guess we we've We've We've
- 16:24Speaker 3: gone into free agency thinking that they're going to have
- 16:27Speaker 3: a little bit of money and be able to do
- 16:29Speaker 3: some things, and they're still going to look for for
- 16:33Speaker 3: deals and look for value. But you know, I think
- 16:37Speaker 3: this year when you when you when you look at it.
- 16:40Speaker 3: You should be excited about it because you know, they
- 16:44Speaker 3: they they went in last year and they said, this
- 16:47Speaker 3: is the guy, this is the kind of guy we want,
- 16:48Speaker 3: and he's not going to cost a lot Toona Williams,
- 16:51Speaker 3: but we think he's going to fit in well. And
- 16:53Speaker 3: you know, just like, let's let's get George Pickinson here.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Let's get him. You know, let's let's see what happened
- 17:00Speaker 3: him that they tried it before with Mingo and then
- 17:06Speaker 3: that didn't that didn't work. There wasn't enough, there wasn't
- 17:09Speaker 3: enough there, and so that all right, let's let's do
- 17:11Speaker 3: this again.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Let's step it up a little bit.
- 17:13Speaker 3: And they certainly did with with Pickens, and you know,
- 17:16Speaker 3: he took his game to the next level too, and
- 17:18Speaker 3: so you know, I'm sure there's gonna be more of
- 17:22Speaker 3: that as well. But I had this feeling that that
- 17:24Speaker 3: you know, they're gonna they're gonna be a little bit.
- 17:26Speaker 1: More aggressive than they have in the past. That's just
- 17:28Speaker 1: that's just what I what I think.
- 17:30Speaker 3: And uh, that's good, especially if it's on defense, then
- 17:34Speaker 3: then you know, that's that's an area where you can
- 17:36Speaker 3: instantly get better. All right, Ali and Florida, What's up.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Good morning, sir. Are you pretty good, buddy? How are you?
- 17:43Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 17:45Speaker 5: If you ever get cold, just call me. I give
- 17:47Speaker 5: you a recipe how to stay warm.
- 17:50Speaker 1: It's not a coat, no, well that's blanket. I mean
- 17:56Speaker 1: that's no.
- 17:58Speaker 5: It's a couple of The first leg that you wear
- 18:01Speaker 5: is the most important. Your like a shirt underneath your undy.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Your socks. Those are avoid your body to sweat. If
- 18:13Speaker 5: you sweat, because does get a little bit sweaty, You're
- 18:17Speaker 5: gonna get a pneumonia, you know. But a couple of things.
- 18:24Speaker 5: I was watching the senior ball interview with the Stephen Jones.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Never seen him so excited about the interview he had
- 18:36Speaker 5: with Parker. But what I love about this this coaching
- 18:42Speaker 5: hire is another ex head coach, another established defensive coordinators,
- 18:50Speaker 5: because you know, they get a job one or two
- 18:53Speaker 5: years bridge to become a head coach and be loser again.
- 18:57Speaker 5: So there's a new plot, which is love. I think personally,
- 19:02Speaker 5: either he's going to bring the one free agent from Ego,
- 19:06Speaker 5: the defensive back he has an eye on, or he
- 19:09Speaker 5: knows someone or the coach and the rest of the
- 19:12Speaker 5: coach in his staff. He give us such a ray
- 19:17Speaker 5: of free agent that we don't even think about because
- 19:20Speaker 5: everybody knows somebody and that would enhance our drafts. So
- 19:25Speaker 5: I want to get your opinion on that. And I
- 19:28Speaker 5: want to give a shout out to my buddy Randy. Randy,
- 19:32Speaker 5: I love you, Your heart is good. You can stick like
- 19:37Speaker 5: me with my accent anytime you got one permission because
- 19:43Speaker 5: I know your heart is good. So but the thing is,
- 19:46Speaker 5: your grammar is going to get worse. You know, people say,
- 19:49Speaker 5: were you've broken with a broken English? I listened to
- 19:53Speaker 5: Ali too much, you know, but love you. Thank you
- 19:56Speaker 5: Nick and Chris for everything you do.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I guess I didn't. Did I miss that? Is that
- 20:07Speaker 3: what Randy did last time? Did he do an Ali impression?
- 20:11Speaker 3: I don't remember that part. But anyways, thanks for the call.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Let's see what you're talking about the staff under Christian
- 20:22Speaker 3: Parker and today's kind of a big day for that.
- 20:26Speaker 3: Apparently the Cowboys are doing some interviews today. Ryan Smith
- 20:30Speaker 3: from the Cardinals defensive backs coach. I think was what
- 20:36Speaker 3: that would be. Zach Orr who was interviewed for a
- 20:38Speaker 3: defensive coordinator spot, and he's, you know, just he's been
- 20:42Speaker 3: at North Texas right up the road here. He's got
- 20:46Speaker 3: linebacker like history there as coaching, so you know that
- 20:50Speaker 3: that could be a thing. I think Robert Livingston is
- 20:53Speaker 3: another coach coming in. He was with the Bengals. I
- 20:56Speaker 3: believe he's a guy that could has coached safety. You're
- 21:00Speaker 3: starting to see some of that kind of stuff, and
- 21:02Speaker 3: you know, I think that was when when I heard
- 21:05Speaker 3: about Zach Orr interviewing. The thought that from what I
- 21:10Speaker 3: kind of gathered, was not sure if defensive coordinator is
- 21:16Speaker 3: going to be the role there. But it's one of
- 21:18Speaker 3: those get him in the building, let's interview him, Let's
- 21:21Speaker 3: see what happens, because he's at a place where there's
- 21:24Speaker 3: a lot of changes going on in Baltimore, and then
- 21:28Speaker 3: maybe you know, you'll you'll be here for another position.
- 21:33Speaker 3: It's not it's not dirty business. I mean, that's just
- 21:36Speaker 3: what happens. That's what people do. That's what I think.
- 21:40Speaker 3: That's what happened with Tennessee. With with the Titans in
- 21:44Speaker 3: White Cotten. You know, they interviewed him for the defensive
- 21:46Speaker 3: coordinator spot because that's what they can. You know, you
- 21:50Speaker 3: could say, hey, you cowboys can't block that. Nobody can
- 21:53Speaker 3: block an interview for a promotion, so that's what happened.
- 21:57Speaker 3: But then he doesn't get the job. But that's like,
- 22:00Speaker 3: all right, well, you know, you didn't get this job,
- 22:03Speaker 3: but you could have this job. And that's sort of
- 22:06Speaker 3: where that is, and that happens all the time, and
- 22:09Speaker 3: maybe that's what's going to happen with Zach or we've
- 22:11Speaker 3: seen that. I can't put my finger on one exactly,
- 22:14Speaker 3: but I know what's happened here where they've interviewed you know, well,
- 22:18Speaker 3: I mean Jason Garrett was an example. They interviewed Jason
- 22:21Speaker 3: Garrett out of the Dolphins to be the head coach here.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Everyone knew that wasn't going to be the case, but
- 22:26Speaker 3: they interviewed him to be the head coach and he
- 22:29Speaker 3: ended up being the offensive coordinator and then they hired
- 22:32Speaker 3: a head coach. But that's another story.
- 22:34Speaker 1: All right, Isaac and Amarillo, what's up?
- 22:37Speaker 12: What's going on?
- 22:38Speaker 10: Mister Nick.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Good to hear y'all. We miss y'all.
- 22:40Speaker 10: I think it's been a long couple of days with
- 22:43Speaker 10: the weather and everything. Yeah, just had one thing to
- 22:46Speaker 10: say start about the hire specific with Christian Parker. So
- 22:49Speaker 10: we're going all the way. We're going to be the
- 22:50Speaker 10: number one seed next year.
- 22:52Speaker 12: Well, I think we should all.
- 22:53Speaker 10: Book our tickets to LA And I think I halfway
- 22:56Speaker 10: mean that. I think it's just really exciting that we
- 22:59Speaker 10: got a teacher in here, or just like you kind
- 23:00Speaker 10: of mentioned that maybe somebody can come in here and
- 23:03Speaker 10: just make it easier for the players. I think that
- 23:05Speaker 10: was again maybe all of our hope. So I think
- 23:08Speaker 10: we should all be excited. Do we know everything? Of
- 23:11Speaker 10: course not, but I think it's exciting, and I guess
- 23:14Speaker 10: really the question I had too is seeing the article
- 23:17Speaker 10: about CD going to the Pro Bowl, and I think
- 23:18Speaker 10: you hit it right on the nose. You know, what
- 23:20Speaker 10: is the Pro Bowl nowadays? But I really just started
- 23:23Speaker 10: to ask you when he first came in in twenty twenty.
- 23:26Speaker 10: I know you guys weren't as close to the team
- 23:28Speaker 10: because of the COVID year and everything, but did you
- 23:31Speaker 10: notice right off the bat, like hey, like, was there
- 23:33Speaker 10: a giveaway like this is going to be one of
- 23:35Speaker 10: the great ones in Cowboy's history. Because I think it's
- 23:38Speaker 10: fair to say CD's already there, like he might go
- 23:42Speaker 10: down as the best eighty eight for all we know,
- 23:44Speaker 10: was there a giveaway like, hey, this is gonna be legit?
- 23:47Speaker 10: Did you see anything?
- 23:48Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean he had an interception right right
- 23:50Speaker 3: when he was drafted. You know, his first play was
- 23:51Speaker 3: an interception when his girlfriend tried to take this phone
- 23:54Speaker 3: and he took it back from You knew right then
- 23:56Speaker 3: and there that you know he had quick hands. No, Seriously,
- 24:01Speaker 3: what I loved about the pick, thanks for the call, Isaac,
- 24:04Speaker 3: and thanks for asking that, because I love talking about
- 24:07Speaker 3: CD but.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You know, he I love.
- 24:12Speaker 3: What I loved about the pick is that they did
- 24:16Speaker 3: not stick to the board. I mean we know that,
- 24:18Speaker 3: and they they kind of pat themselves on the back
- 24:21Speaker 3: for that, and they should because that's a perfect example
- 24:24Speaker 3: of saying, we need defense, we need corner, we need
- 24:26Speaker 3: pass rusher, and but we can't ignore this. And you
- 24:31Speaker 3: know they had they had a pro bowler and Amari
- 24:34Speaker 3: Cooper and I mean they signed him and everything, but
- 24:38Speaker 3: I mean they just couldn't ignore it. And so and
- 24:41Speaker 3: then that's what happens. The guys are going to fall
- 24:43Speaker 3: to them. So that looking at number twenty in the draft,
- 24:46Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna be looking at that.
- 24:48Speaker 1: So don't don't.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Dismiss anything any position when it comes to that. So
- 24:53Speaker 3: but as far as what you're asking, you know, I
- 24:58Speaker 3: remember he didn't really want ada. I remember that correctly.
- 25:02Speaker 3: That's I mean, what what guys coming out of college
- 25:05Speaker 3: want to wear in the eighties. They don't they don't
- 25:07Speaker 3: wear it, you know, very often. He didn't want that.
- 25:11Speaker 3: He wore two in college. He wanted something like that.
- 25:14Speaker 3: But I think he understood once, you know, he was like, hey,
- 25:17Speaker 3: this is this is what we're giving you, and and
- 25:20Speaker 3: this is this is what we think of you. He
- 25:22Speaker 3: came around to that and and so you know he
- 25:25Speaker 3: kind of got it early on. But I don't, you know,
- 25:29Speaker 3: as far as it tell goes. I mean, he kind
- 25:31Speaker 3: of he got here, and he had some good players.
- 25:33Speaker 3: I mean he had Gallup was here and of course
- 25:36Speaker 3: a Mari, and he was kind of finding his way,
- 25:39Speaker 3: and but he was the whole year was different. Dak
- 25:43Speaker 3: got hurt and Andy Dalton and uh so it was
- 25:46Speaker 3: it was kind of a transition. But the Cowboys sensed
- 25:50Speaker 3: that they needed to They needed Amari probably not to
- 25:55Speaker 3: be here for him to really really grow. And not
- 25:58Speaker 3: nothing against the Mark because they didn't have a bad reallylationship.
- 26:00Speaker 3: It's just that he's got to be He's a number one.
- 26:03Speaker 3: He's a number one. He needs to be a number
- 26:05Speaker 3: one and he's really gonna take off.
- 26:07Speaker 1: And he did.
- 26:08Speaker 3: And you know, does he have his moments where yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 3: he gets upset on the sideline and yeah, you know,
- 26:14Speaker 3: or he gets beat by Chris and cornhole, Yeah he
- 26:16Speaker 3: gets upset by that. He's competitive, you know, but uh,
- 26:19Speaker 3: he's still you want that guy, and I'm proud. I'm
- 26:23Speaker 3: proud of him. And you know, a five time Pro Bowler,
- 26:25Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what you say what's gonna happen.
- 26:27Speaker 1: No one cares.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Who if he came in for this guy or this
- 26:30Speaker 3: guy or replacement, No one cares. He's made the Pro
- 26:33Speaker 3: Bowl five straight years. And that's exactly what they wanted
- 26:35Speaker 3: when they drafted him seventeenth overall, when they wanted defense,
- 26:39Speaker 3: and he was there as they called the blinking light.
- 26:41Speaker 3: And he's made five straight Pro Bowls. All right, it's
- 26:43Speaker 3: go to break here on Cowboys story and be right
- 26:44Speaker 3: back for this.

- 28:48Speaker 12: I'm going to finally got to drive into the office today.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, me too, Me too, it's been it's been good.
- 28:57Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, saw, I heard the last call. I remember,
- 29:00Speaker 12: uh CD originally wanted to wear number can before they right?
- 29:05Speaker 1: That is right? Yeah, No, I'm kidding. I don't I
- 29:10Speaker 1: don't even remember I don't think Cooper Rush was here.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Then he was, and then he came back left. I
- 29:14Speaker 1: don't remember if he was here at that point.
- 29:17Speaker 12: Yeah, I do think the number was available. They just
- 29:19Speaker 12: wanted him to know.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Yeah, but and it's I'm curious, you know when that
- 29:25Speaker 3: happens again, you know, like when when does that happen
- 29:28Speaker 3: and you draft.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Another one and you know, but yeah, you know they're not.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Gonna want it. But I mean especially, I mean, it
- 29:37Speaker 3: just keeps getting better. They haven't had a dud there really.
- 29:41Speaker 1: I mean.
- 29:43Speaker 12: It's very strong.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Y Yeah, I mean I guess Antonio Bryant had it. Yeah,
- 29:50Speaker 3: Antonio Bryant was a badass player though. He really was
- 29:53Speaker 3: like like talent wise, like he he was really good.
- 29:57Speaker 3: You know, he was a lot like George pick before
- 30:01Speaker 3: this season. Antonio Bryant to me, was like George Pickens
- 30:04Speaker 3: the first three years, kind of erratic and super talented,
- 30:08Speaker 3: but you didn't know what you could expect.
- 30:10Speaker 1: But he never had that blow.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Up season like George did. But he had that kind
- 30:15Speaker 3: of talent and he did if you remember, he was
- 30:17Speaker 3: really good yep, yep.
- 30:20Speaker 12: Yeah. So yeah, I was calling today just to say
- 30:23Speaker 12: that I'm encouraged by the Christians Parker Hire. I'm not
- 30:28Speaker 12: gonna pretend like I knew a whole lot about him,
- 30:30Speaker 12: but the process just streams that Shaddy has had his
- 30:35Speaker 12: hands all over bringing him in. So that's what I'm
- 30:38Speaker 12: most encouraged about. And I did have one question, what
- 30:43Speaker 12: is the earliest that the Cowboys can tag George Pickens?
- 30:48Speaker 12: Do they have to wait until free agency start?
- 30:50Speaker 9: So can they do it beforehand?
- 30:52Speaker 12: And I'll take that offline.
- 30:55Speaker 1: N you would ask me that.
- 30:58Speaker 3: There's a window for that, and if I had to guess,
- 31:02Speaker 3: it's about a couple weeks, maybe February twentieth something like that.
- 31:11Speaker 3: There's a window of when when you can start to
- 31:15Speaker 3: tag players, and then when it ends, there's a deadline
- 31:18Speaker 3: for it, and it's all had. It starts and ends
- 31:20Speaker 3: before free agency, and it's usually I bet you, Chris,
- 31:26Speaker 3: could you actually look.
- 31:27Speaker 1: That up your mind. I'm doing it right now.
- 31:29Speaker 3: It's really not that I mean, it's it's available. I
- 31:32Speaker 3: would imagine somewhere in the mid February range, right after
- 31:35Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, maybe February twentieth, maybe for like ten days,
- 31:38Speaker 3: twelve days to about early March. That's usually what happens,
- 31:42Speaker 3: and then and then you know, about ten days or
- 31:44Speaker 3: so before free.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Agency February seventeenth.
- 31:47Speaker 3: February seventeenth, to does it. You know when the deadline
- 31:51Speaker 3: is that when it starts.
- 31:52Speaker 16: Yeah, February seventeenth, beginning of the day clubs can design,
- 31:56Speaker 16: franchise or transition players. Okay, then free agency starts. I
- 32:02Speaker 16: know it starts with March March eleventh, eleventh, but but I.
- 32:05Speaker 3: Think the window to the deadline is before that March third, Okay,
- 32:10Speaker 3: So there it is about yeah, about two weeks. And
- 32:16Speaker 3: so that's that's what they'll they'll do and and and
- 32:19Speaker 3: they'll use that time to kind of wait and see
- 32:21Speaker 3: and you know, see if they can maybe get a
- 32:24Speaker 3: deal done and kind of get it around that. But
- 32:26Speaker 3: you know, he'll be the tag is a placeholder, and
- 32:30Speaker 3: I hope hopefully George knows that and and his agent
- 32:34Speaker 3: knows that that. You know, it's not a it's not
- 32:37Speaker 3: a disrespect. It's one thing about the Marcus Lawrence. I
- 32:40Speaker 3: remember when he got tagged, he was like, thanks, I
- 32:44Speaker 3: mean it's fully guaranteed. I mean he looked at it
- 32:47Speaker 3: different than others. And so if that happens, it's like
- 32:51Speaker 3: all right, and and and where agents have the leverage
- 32:57Speaker 3: a lot of times is when that happens. You want
- 33:00Speaker 3: to get a deal done before that. You know, let's say,
- 33:02Speaker 3: what's the tag going to be around? I keep seeing
- 33:04Speaker 3: about twenty eight million for a receiver, so a year
- 33:08Speaker 3: or you know, the one year twenty eight million, And
- 33:10Speaker 3: so you want to get a deal done before that
- 33:13Speaker 3: if possible, because I.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Don't think that they want to go twenty eight per But.
- 33:19Speaker 3: You know, once you tag him, then that's that kind
- 33:22Speaker 3: of is where the floor is.
- 33:24Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see what happens.
- 33:26Speaker 3: I mean, they this is the agency that that handled
- 33:29Speaker 3: Mike a little different, not exactly the same agent, but
- 33:32Speaker 3: still the same company. And so it's gonna it's not
- 33:35Speaker 3: going to be easy. And you know, he made the
- 33:38Speaker 3: Pro Bowl, he second team All Pro. We all know that,
- 33:41Speaker 3: and so we'll see what he what he's trying to do,
- 33:45Speaker 3: you know, but but they will tag him if they
- 33:47Speaker 3: don't get a deal done, they will definitely tag him.
- 33:49Speaker 3: And you know that might be the best the best
- 33:52Speaker 3: situation for everything here if you still are unsure what
- 33:56Speaker 3: he's going to do. You know, he plays on the tag.
- 34:00Speaker 3: See see what happens. See what you get out of that?
- 34:02Speaker 3: All right, Chris and San Angelo is next? Chris?
- 34:11Speaker 1: What type?
- 34:12Speaker 4: Oh?
- 34:12Speaker 17: Hey sorry, Nick, I didn't even hear you, buddy, Hey,
- 34:16Speaker 17: how are you doing today?
- 34:17Speaker 4: Well?
- 34:17Speaker 17: And I'm really good man. Hey. First of all, I
- 34:21Speaker 17: love the new hire and I love how Christian Parker
- 34:26Speaker 17: is now CP, right like, uh, he yet stepped in
- 34:31Speaker 17: the building and he's hard to earn the letters, right.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so. I've heard it a couple of
- 34:38Speaker 3: times now, and I sure, I mean, I I mean
- 34:43Speaker 3: as long as that GP. You know you CP exactly?
- 34:48Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 34:49Speaker 10: Right on?
- 34:49Speaker 17: Man, Uh, well, let's face it, he's not legit until
- 34:52Speaker 17: after the Nick Eatman interviews, so we'll be we'll be
- 34:57Speaker 17: looking forward to that.
- 34:58Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
- 34:59Speaker 3: I'm I'll let Tommy and Patrick or Kyle if they're
- 35:05Speaker 3: in here, Nicole that they'll probably get a chance to
- 35:08Speaker 3: interview him. But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing him,
- 35:13Speaker 3: and then there might be a press conference. I think
- 35:16Speaker 3: there was going to be a press conference this week,
- 35:18Speaker 3: but with the weather it changed everything. But I could
- 35:21Speaker 3: imagine that that would happen maybe next week, And yeah,
- 35:25Speaker 3: I'm interested to see what he has to say, and
- 35:27Speaker 3: you know, see what happens when he gets here and
- 35:29Speaker 3: gets on a big press conference and it's different here.
- 35:32Speaker 3: I mean, the media is different here, and spotlight's different,
- 35:35Speaker 3: and see kind of how he reacts. I don't think
- 35:37Speaker 3: he's afraid. He'd be afraid of it, but I just
- 35:39Speaker 3: think it, you know, I like to see how he
- 35:41Speaker 3: performs here.
- 35:42Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, it's quite a quite a
- 35:45Speaker 17: shot change for him. Hey, your thoughts so on the
- 35:50Speaker 17: top of guys, you think he should get under him?
- 35:54Speaker 17: You know, should he? I mean, I know you don't
- 35:56Speaker 17: have a say in it, but do you think he
- 35:59Speaker 17: should just stay young with all the other coaches now,
- 36:03Speaker 17: you think maybe pick at least one older or I
- 36:09Speaker 17: guess grizzled you could say, type of guy to throw
- 36:13Speaker 17: in Just I'm really I'm looking forward to seeing how
- 36:18Speaker 17: this fills that out. And I wouldn't mind having one
- 36:21Speaker 17: kind of older statesman in the room. I just wanted
- 36:24Speaker 17: to see what you thought about that.
- 36:25Speaker 3: That's a that's a great question, Chris, it really is,
- 36:28Speaker 3: and it's next level stuff. That's why I love this show.
- 36:30Speaker 3: That's why I love you guys calling in because it's
- 36:33Speaker 3: not just it's it's not just one level, it's it's
- 36:36Speaker 3: it's thinking past that.
- 36:37Speaker 1: And I like that.
- 36:38Speaker 3: I like where you're thinking here, you know, not just
- 36:41Speaker 3: gonna have everybody you know, thirty years old. But at
- 36:48Speaker 3: the same time you get an older guy, Like like
- 36:51Speaker 3: when you're talking about what kind of guys I think
- 36:54Speaker 3: at this point these guys no football and all that,
- 36:58Speaker 3: it's who's gonna work together, who's going to understand what
- 37:01Speaker 3: we're trying to do, has the same philosophies on on
- 37:05Speaker 3: what we're trying to do here. Other teachers too. So
- 37:10Speaker 3: he's thirty four years old. We've talked about that four
- 37:12Speaker 3: or five times. So getting the like you said, grizzled
- 37:16Speaker 3: veteran coach in here sounds great. Is that grizzled veteran
- 37:20Speaker 3: coach going to say yes, sir, one hundred percent whatever
- 37:25Speaker 3: you say, boss to the thirty four year old or
- 37:28Speaker 3: to to Shody even at that you know which he
- 37:31Speaker 3: will if that's his job. But you know, the the
- 37:35Speaker 3: dynamics there. I mean, this guy's seen a lot. But
- 37:38Speaker 3: there's some really good coaches that have been doing it
- 37:40Speaker 3: for a long time. They understand their role, they that
- 37:43Speaker 3: they understand that's what football coaches are. I mean I
- 37:45Speaker 3: learned that from a guy one of my favorite coaches.
- 37:48Speaker 3: I've said this before, my favorite coaches of all time
- 37:51Speaker 3: here from the Cowboys is Joe D.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Kamillis.
- 37:54Speaker 3: And he was a coordinator obviously, and uh but but
- 37:57Speaker 3: he understood the role. You understand the chain command. It
- 38:00Speaker 3: doesn't I mean, it could be guys older than you,
- 38:02Speaker 3: younger than you, whatever. So do they need some experience? Yeah,
- 38:07Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, you know, with guys that
- 38:09Speaker 3: have seen different things, it's becoming a younger man's game.
- 38:14Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that the experienced coaches don't have
- 38:16Speaker 3: a role either. So good question, Chris, really good one.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Let's go to break one more time though on Cowboys storyline. Sorry,
- 38:23Speaker 3: try to get in these last two callers. We'll be

- 39:55Speaker 3: on a couple more calls. Steve in New York, Steve,
- 39:57Speaker 3: what's up man?
- 39:59Speaker 19: Hey? What's up? You re all right? Real quick? I mean,
- 40:03Speaker 19: I'm pretty much echoing with a lot of people said,
- 40:05Speaker 19: I love the highre. I don't mean it in a
- 40:07Speaker 19: disrespectful way, but that word retread just thrown around, and
- 40:11Speaker 19: I just this is someone younger, new and it's not
- 40:16Speaker 19: that you know, I'm using air quotes here, the comfortable
- 40:19Speaker 19: higher and I like that, I really do. And I
- 40:24Speaker 19: just you know, you look in the past few years,
- 40:27Speaker 19: like you were talking about the grizzled veteran guy who
- 40:29Speaker 19: comes in and we you know, you saw how that
- 40:31Speaker 19: worked out, you know it didn't. And I'm thinking, like,
- 40:36Speaker 19: who is the guy? Was Mike Slad Do they a
- 40:38Speaker 19: few years but was that like a few years ago
- 40:41Speaker 19: they had him? He coached under ranjury. And I just
- 40:44Speaker 19: I saw like a trend like bringing guys back, and
- 40:47Speaker 19: I just said, whoever they hire, I wanted to be
- 40:49Speaker 19: someone who has never been in the building before, right,
- 40:52Speaker 19: you know, that's it. That's all I wanted. And I
- 40:55Speaker 19: and I think we got it with this guy. And again,
- 40:57Speaker 19: I don't know if it's going to be you know
- 40:59Speaker 19: what it's going to amount to, but I love the hire.
- 41:02Speaker 19: I just wanted to say that cool. Yeah real quick,
- 41:05Speaker 19: go ahead, yeah yeah, real quick on my trivia because
- 41:08Speaker 19: you know, I never asked the obvious. Remember everyone's talking
- 41:11Speaker 19: obviously thirty years wow, but the infamous uh fourth I
- 41:18Speaker 19: won't say fourth and one fourth and a foot play
- 41:23Speaker 19: Emitt Smith twice? Were you? I don't even hopefully were
- 41:26Speaker 19: not that game? But yeah, you remember it well? Right?
- 41:29Speaker 3: Yeah you're talking about absolutely Okay, Yeah, this guy unfortunately
- 41:37Speaker 3: caught a nine and a half yard pass on third down,
- 41:42Speaker 3: setting up one of Barry switches.
- 41:44Speaker 8: Uh.
- 41:45Speaker 19: You know, very intimous decisions of going for it. The
- 41:50Speaker 19: only hand I'll gave you is he never caught a
- 41:52Speaker 19: touchdown and never not a guy. You you've mentioned him
- 41:57Speaker 19: on this show. I'll tell you you've mentioned that.
- 42:02Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it.
- 42:03Speaker 3: Tied in No, no, uh in ninety five Corey Fleming,
- 42:15Speaker 3: You got it. I thought I was thinking Scott Goliver
- 42:20Speaker 3: the whole time. But if he Corey Fleming it catch
- 42:24Speaker 3: many passes?
- 42:25Speaker 19: No, No, he did not, Like I always tell people,
- 42:28Speaker 19: And they asked me about that game the Leon left
- 42:31Speaker 19: Thanksgiving in the Super Bowl play leon. Let I don't
- 42:34Speaker 19: look back at those plays angry. You know why because
- 42:38Speaker 19: in every one of those instances, they never lost another
- 42:41Speaker 19: football game, and I won the super.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Bowl exactly exactly.
- 42:43Speaker 3: You know, it's funny, like you know, the old NFL
- 42:45Speaker 3: films they would do like a thirty minute yearbook or whatever.
- 42:49Speaker 3: It would be like, you're right, there was a game
- 42:52Speaker 3: in ninety two in Washington was a very frustrating loss.
- 42:55Speaker 3: Ninety three was yeah, that fumbled in ninety three the
- 42:59Speaker 3: Ice Fund bull ninety five was you know that and
- 43:03Speaker 3: it was like it was the most frustrating loss.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Of the season. It would also be their last and
- 43:08Speaker 1: you know the music. All right, Steve, good stuff, Thanks man.
- 43:13Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Leicester and Minnesota. Lester.
- 43:18Speaker 9: What's up? Hey, Nick? I mean Chris Nick?
- 43:24Speaker 7: Nick and Chris, Yeah, we're both here.
- 43:27Speaker 1: What's up?
- 43:28Speaker 7: Yeah, just just checking to make sure I haven't talked
- 43:31Speaker 7: to you all the night two weeks. We're here, hey,
- 43:35Speaker 7: But but I just want to comment on the high
- 43:38Speaker 7: the hire of coach Parker.
- 43:41Speaker 9: I did a little reading research and one of the
- 43:45Speaker 9: things that he does do that I am if he
- 43:47Speaker 9: continues to do, which I am very impressed of, is
- 43:51Speaker 9: that he holds all the players accountable for knowing the
- 43:54Speaker 9: playbook and knowing the plays and knowing he holds everybody
- 43:58Speaker 9: accountable on the defense, his his area of knowing why
- 44:03Speaker 9: why we're doing this, and why is this other guy
- 44:06Speaker 9: doing that? Why the linebacker doing that? So that, I mean,
- 44:10Speaker 9: that is just I love that because and then I
- 44:14Speaker 9: heard that he would question you anytime if he see
- 44:17Speaker 9: you in the homeway or something, you're just grab to
- 44:20Speaker 9: say okay and asked a question about what you think
- 44:22Speaker 9: about this formation or whatever. So I love that because
- 44:26Speaker 9: that'll that'll have everybody on the same page. I mean,
- 44:30Speaker 9: some people learned a little bit quicker than others, true enough,
- 44:34Speaker 9: but the philosophy is is everybody be on the same page.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's like I think that's I think
- 44:41Speaker 3: that's great, and I think that's something we didn't see
- 44:44Speaker 3: here a lot. It's kind of like, you know, you
- 44:46Speaker 3: have kids, you say no, we're not we're not going there. Well,
- 44:49Speaker 3: why well because because we don't have time, or why well,
- 44:53Speaker 3: you know, because we didn't get ready in time. Why
- 44:56Speaker 3: well because because you give me a hard time? Why well?
- 45:00Speaker 3: You know, like you can go all day long, and
- 45:02Speaker 3: kids usually will and it's one of those things, but
- 45:04Speaker 3: but you got to have an answer for it. And
- 45:05Speaker 3: and it's it's important. And and here with with defensive
- 45:09Speaker 3: backs and safeties. It's the it's the why, you know,
- 45:13Speaker 3: why are we doing this? It's not just because I'm
- 45:15Speaker 3: asking you. But if you understand that part, then you'll
- 45:17Speaker 3: understand why not, and you'll understand why we did it
- 45:20Speaker 3: this time and not that time. It goes back to
- 45:23Speaker 3: a question Dylan was talking about from Northport, Florida earlier today,
- 45:27Speaker 3: about you know, changing things up and disguising your coverages
- 45:32Speaker 3: and things like that. All of that sounds great, but
- 45:37Speaker 3: remember back before when I was saying, what kind of
- 45:40Speaker 3: football player do I want? You know, I don't want
- 45:44Speaker 3: necessary the guy that runs four three one. I mean,
- 45:47Speaker 3: that'd be great. I want the guy that says he
- 45:51Speaker 3: studies inside and out, he under he knows the why,
- 45:55Speaker 3: he knows what's happening here.
- 45:57Speaker 1: It hurts to lose.
- 45:58Speaker 3: It hurts so bad that he's going to make sure
- 46:00Speaker 3: he doesn't do that again. Hey he runs a four
- 46:02Speaker 3: to four two, Okay, he'll make.
- 46:04Speaker 9: Up for it.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Though.
- 46:05Speaker 3: I want that guy. And if you're gonna disguise coverages,
- 46:10Speaker 3: you gotta be kind of smart. You gotta be a
- 46:12Speaker 3: smart football player. You gotta have smart guys on defense.
- 46:15Speaker 3: And I'm not saying anybody is or isn't that I'm saying,
- 46:19Speaker 3: if you're moving forward, if it's a clean slate, give
- 46:22Speaker 3: me some guys in here that understand what Christian Parker's doing.
- 46:26Speaker 3: When he says, why are we doing this? He understands
- 46:29Speaker 3: it and he has the answer because you got to
- 46:31Speaker 3: be able to make decisions on the fly. You gotta
- 46:33Speaker 3: have smart football players to kind of do some of
- 46:35Speaker 3: those things. And I think that's you know, that's one
- 46:38Speaker 3: thing that they're gonna be looking for. All right, good stuff, guys,
- 46:41Speaker 3: great ten calls. Thanks for I know we have a
- 46:43Speaker 3: different time slot. We'll be back to our normal time
- 46:45Speaker 3: slot at nine to thirty on Wednesday's next Wednesday. Well
- 46:50Speaker 3: hold on about that. As I say that, I realize, no,
- 46:54Speaker 3: that's probably not gonna be the case. Let me let
- 46:56Speaker 3: me get back to you guys on that. I'll be
- 46:58Speaker 3: at the super Bowl that week. We'll see when we're
- 47:00Speaker 3: going to do this show next week, but hopefully we'll
- 47:04Speaker 3: have a little bit more time than we did today.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Great stuff.
- 47:07Speaker 3: Appreciate that for Chris being I'm Nick Eave and we
- 47:09Speaker 3: will see you next week some point.
- 47:11Speaker 1: My Cowboy storyline, this has been a
- 47:14Speaker 2: Production of dallascowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football
- 47:18Speaker 2: Club
