And there’s some great stories, good memories, and sometimes it’s just funny to go back there and listen to them one more time. I do it every now and then. So, definitely check out the interviews with a lot of great players. But wanted to get into this, Kelly. You know, it’s a slow time. There’s not a lot going on. So, you know, some of this stuff is either the media for clicks or is it legitimate? And you know, you and I were talking before the show and the Cowboys this season, it is polarizing. It’s kind of feast or famine. Yeah. And you know, Yahoo Sports, they’re unveiling every day their their power rankings. And the Cowboys turn was up and and and lo and behold, the Cowboys are 18th in the power rankings. And let me just let me just tell you, I I focused on NFC only. I didn’t focus on the AFC. Yeah. So, they put them 11th out of 16 teams. Uh, the only teams that they are ahead of, the Cardinals were behind them, the Falcons, the Giants, the Panthers, and the Saints. I was going to say Panthers got to be behind us. Yeah, that seems that seems pretty low. So, I mean, are they clicking? Are they Are they fishing for reaction? Because I’m I’m thinking to myself, I’m trying to throw some teams out there. Is you got the Bears? You got the Bears. They’re They got them ranked ahead of you. Minnesota who’s now starting JJ McCarthy, right? They got rid of their guy. They’re ahead of them. Um, you’ve got obviously the Buccaneers ahead of them. You’ve got uh who else do we have out in the West? San Francisco who seems to be, you know, retooling and taking a step back. They’re ahead of them. Uh, the Rams ahead of them. So, I mean, you you know, we did their two early schedule thing. I mean, what’s your first reaction when you hear this is where they got Well, honestly, honestly, when it all comes down to it, I kind of like it, man. I I It’s been a while, man, that the that I can remember since the Cowboys were like an underdog going into the season. Um, I feel like the Cowboys have been one of the teams that people talk about is going to contend for the NFC East. Um, pretty much every year for about the last five years, really, honestly. Well, I mean, honestly, actually, since Dak has been the quarterback really since 2016, the Cowboys have been one of the top two favorites to win the NFC East. And so, you know, and every year, obviously, we’ve seen them kind of come up short. Obviously, we’ve won the NFC East a few times during that span, but it’s kind of nice actually to to have all these people that are doubting the Cowboys. It’s kind of nice to have them. You know, it’s people were people were prisoners of the moment though, I think, a lot of times where it’s hard to shake off what we saw last season. But but when you put last season into perspective, so many injuries, um, and it starts with Dak Prescott. If you don’t have your starting quarterback in this in the NFL, unless you have a superstar, unbeknownst to you sitting behind him at the number two position, backup quarterback position, you’re going to have a pretty rough season. And when you combine that with the fact that not only did we have that, I mean, I think that I lost count of how many injuries there were last year. I mean, it was just an onslaught of injuries. Whether it’s your number two wide receiver going down, whether it’s one of your best linebackers going down and overshown, whether it’s Michael Parsons rolling through some injuries, whether it’s Demarcus Lawrence basically not playing for almost a whole year. I mean, there was so many people that were injured last year. So, I think if you kind of take that out of it, you know, and can and can put yourself back and step back and look at the talent that’s on this roster, it’s just really hard for me to see the Cowboys being that low down the total poll. 18 out of 32 teams. Even if you put the AFC in there, you know, that’s at the bottom half of the league. And I just I don’t I don’t buy that. I don’t think that the Cowboys are a bottom half of the league team this year. Um, you know, and I I know there’s some question marks. We’ve got some question marks and I know there’s a new head coach and this and that, all that other stuff, but um yeah, I just I look at schedule and I just don’t see it. Yeah, we’re going to get into some of these question marks and some of their concerns and and seeing everyone in the chat, you know, definitely want your opinion and we’re seeing you a lot of people don’t agree with it. Um, you know, uh, my man Danny, I don’t know if this is the Dan that I was just talking about, but it’s new new new chat is that’s crazy. It’s got to be for engagement like top QB list. We’re going to get into the QB list a little bit as well because that has been all over the place as well. And looking at this was this is what’s interesting to me, Kelly, is you talked about last season and it was, you know, trouble from the start, right? I mean, we start with the with the whole running back situation and and how that worked out. that kind of set the tone for the disaster that that was and obviously all the injuries. But the the Yahoo Sports who gave Dallas a a ranked 18th gave their off season a B which that’s pretty good above average. I mean that’s that’s free agency who you gained and who you lost. Uh and it’s the draft and you know obviously the free agent guys that we we talked about the draft. You know, I think a lot of people felt really good coming out of the draft. And then also, by the way, you get George Pickkins. So now you you really set your offense up to be up to be dangerous. And um so looking at that, the other flip side of it is is if you go by Vegas, Vegas does not like Dallas. Seven and a half is their overunder on wins. Yeah. They’re favored of the of their 17 games right now. They’re favored in six of them. Last year at this time, the Cowboys were favored in every game but one. Um, and Prescott is, I’m telling you, if you got a couple bucks, you want to throw $10 on it, ain’t a bad bet. Is 40 to1 uh for MVP. So, they give the off season a lot of positivity, but I don’t know if they’re just getting sucked into what Vegas is saying because that’s what they talked about a lot is not a believer and is the offensive line better. So, that was their big question mark was the offensive line and coaching, which I know someone put in getting a new coach. So, when you kind of bottle, you know, you bottle all of that up. I mean, what can you what do you make of their offseason grade first of all, and you guys in the chat, I mean, would you give them a B? Is that fair? I think so. I think probably the George Pickins move pushed him to a B. I think before that it was probably a C. Um, and I think George Pickkins probably moved him to the B-grade. Um, you know, obviously they didn’t do anything at the running back position. um you know, outside of some guys that you know, signing some guys that don’t really turn heads. I saw something today, but um there was an article today where the Cowboys said we’re looking to upgrade at the running back position still. So, I keep hearing about that. So, they must not be 100% confident on that running back position, kind of like a lot of us have questioned it as well. So, yeah, I don’t disagree with that grade. I think a B is probably right on par for what they did this year. Yeah. And if you get a B and you won seven games without your quarterback, without your best defensive player, without trying to f and I know the schedule’s harder. I know the schedule’s harder, but let’s, you know, we talked about a little bit and I want to get your opinion, Kelly, and get you guys in the chat. So, the Cowboys, we all agree, have a pretty tough schedule. So, let’s say they sweep the Giants, which is realistic, and let’s just be nice and say they split with Washington and Philly. That puts them at four wins. Now they play the Jets. I think you got to think feel pretty good about that. That’s five wins. You play the Bears early. I think I think they’re a better team. That’s six wins. You play the Panthers, that’s seven wins. You play the Cardinals, you play the Vikings, obviously you got the Lions, you got the the Raiders, you got the Charger. I mean, you see how it kind of goes is I mean it it’s not farfetched to think this team should win double digits. Yeah. I I I I agree. I mean, I I think that like I said, I mean, I just I don’t see them being with with the talent on the team and and I always I always have said that if you’ve got a top 10 quarterback, you’re going to win a lot of games. And Dak is a top 10 quarterback. I don’t care what anybody says, top 10 quarterback. That automatically elevates your team into one of the in into the conversation to be one of the better teams in in the NFL. And I I understand that, you know, that there’s still defense to be played. And if the Cowboys are allowing, you know, 200 plus yards a game on defense, you know, teams to be able to run the ball down our throats, then that’s going to have an effect on how many games we win because, you know, obviously that’s it’s not a good thing, right? But in in terms of offensively, I think this team’s going to be all right. I think they will add another piece to the running back position and I think that position will be a we’ll be feeling a little bit better about it when we go into the season. But um you know I think the offense is actually going to be pretty pretty good. I think the offensive line’s going to take a jump this year. I’ve been saying that that’s kind of was kind of like my bold prediction. I made a on on Twitter I tweeted out and said, “Hey, what’s a what’s a what’s a bold prediction?” My bold prediction is the Cowboys are going to have a top five offensive line unit this year. Um, and I think if they’re if they are top five in the league offensive line, uh, that’s going to make for a, you know, Dak Prescott to sit back there and just pick defenses apart with that passing game. And it’s going to make that running game, uh, improve drastically. You know, I remember, you know, several years ago when we got Darren McFaden from the Raiders, and I mean, he had a I think he had a 12,300 yard season behind that offensive line because the offensive line was so good that, you know, a guy like that could go. So, if that offensive line it takes the leap that I think they will, this offense will be really good. Now, what we’re looking for is the defense. Is the defense going to regress from what we saw last year? You know, cuz last year, obviously, they had a ton of injuries, so it was really kind of hard to really get a feel for what that defense was last year. They lose Jordan Lewis in the quarterback game. That is going to hurt. I I mean, I can’t deny that. But you know, Ilfloose, you’ve pointed to it that Illeuse, what he has done with defenses and how he has elevated teams that have had bad run defenses and literally in his first year taken them, you know, towards that upper half part of the league. If Bieber can do that with some of the talent that he had on some of these other teams, I mean, you know, Michael Parsons was talking about it not that long ago that this, you know, that him and Illeuse were talking. Neighborlus is excited because he said this is the most talented defensive group that he’s that he’s got his hands on and been able to work with. So you combine all those things together and it just it doesn’t none of the math adds up in terms of us being 18th or the fact that I don’t think that we can win seven and a half games. And usually Vegas is pretty smart. Usually if Vegas says something then I’m kind of like, yeah, Vegas tends to know. But then again, Vegas ain’t always right. We all know that. Everybody that bets, everybody that gambles, Vegas ain’t always right. I just feel that seven and a half is way too low. I feel like if you were going to I would feel it should be closer to eight and a half for the Cowboys. Honestly, I feel another another game. I should be eight and a half if I was Vegas. I’d feel a little bit more comfortable about that because right now I feel like at seven and a half Vegas just giving away money. I I do and it just you know even I I said it before like even after the pickings trade it stayed at seven and a half. I think some might have it up to eight and a half, but um I think bet MGM still had it at 7 and a half. So I think it’s like how I’m just looking at this team and I’m like how could it possibly they can’t win eight games at minimum. It it it would it would blow my mind. It’d blow my mind. Um looking at you know, you talk about the offensive line and I I couldn’t agree more. I think people are underestimating this offensive line and and and they’re they’re so focused early and early they struggled. I mean, Dak Prescott, I mean, one of the reasons he probably got hurt is he got sacked a bunch early on and he got hit a lot and they they struggled tremendously, but they got better as the year went on. And now you added depth. You got you obviously you got Booker first, you know, top guard in the draft and he looks like he’s as good as advertised, right? So, they’re going to be stronger to me with the offensive line just with depth and talent that they have. So, I expect them to be better. Now, this is a run. This is a run offensive line. They want to run the football. I mean, you know, Steel’s not the best at pass protection. Gayton, you got to hope he takes a jump, right? But this isn’t this isn’t an offensive line that’s built to drop back 40 times. I mean there and there’s probably not a lot of offensive lines that are built that way anyway. So this is a team that wants to maul you. They want to be physical and that’s the way they got to do it. So hopefully the mindset of the of the team and what the coach is saying is running the football. But looking at the running backs, do you have what’s your and you guys in the chat, what’s your confidence level from 1 to 10 on our running game today? Uh well, so it the thing is is that the if the offensive line takes the jump that I think they that they’re going to take, then I think this this running back uh crew is going to be all right. I think it’ll be all right. I think, you know, it’s going to be a running back by committee. I don’t think we got a bell cow. I don’t think we have a guy that we’re going to depend on that’s going to be getting, you know, the majority of the carries, taking the healthy workload. I think it’s going to be, you know, you’re going to see, you know, five to 10 carries from Gvonte. I think you’re going to see um, you know, I think you’re going to see about, you know, f in the neighborhood of five to eight maybe from uh, from Blue. And then, you know, I think honestly I think that you’re gonna mix in some Miles Sanders just because I’ve been hearing that that he’s actually been kind of turning some heads in the in the early OTAAS that he was doing. Um, so, you know, I think that I I I don’t think that it’s terrible. I don’t think that running back position is terrible. I just, you know, NFL rankings and I think they got him low. They got him 32. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean it’s Listen, I I I I said it since the draft. You remember how pissed I was at the draft that they waited until the fifth round to draft a running back. Um I I thought they should have drafted a running back in the first three rounds. And I stand by it. I I feel like there was starting caliber running backs in the first three rounds. And I it’s it that’s two drafts in a row that it’s happened. And then there’s free agent running backs that they could have drafted. for whatever reason, they just it’s almost like this, you know, there’s that group out there on Twitter says running backs don’t matter. You know, the the running backs don’t matter group. You know, there’s a group of them guys that, you know, they talk about, you know, running backs don’t matter. It’s offensive line this, it’s that. Get on the radar. I disagree. I disagree. I disagree. And you know, I mean, the main reason that I disagree and and and you know, if I’m presenting my case to the judge right here is the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, they had a great offensive line. Yeah, they got a good offensive line, but they also got, you know, one of the best running backs in the league. Definitely top three, no matter how you want to cut it, top three. And and look what it did for them. You know, you look at um you look at Detroit, you look at how much better and how much easier things got for Jared Goff when they got two stout running backs in Montgomery and Gibbs. You know, you look just look around the league, look at the Ravens, how much easier things got for Lamar Jackson when they got Derrick Henry, you know, um just anywhere that you can point to. You point to the Falcons and they had, you know, some success behind what I would call pretty shitty quarterback play last year. They a lot more terrible than what they thought they were going to get with Kurt Cousins. He he didn’t play up to the level they thought. But with Bejon running the ball, they were still pretty competitive in a lot of games. So, I think it does matter who you have behind center at running back. I think it does. I don’t think you can just throw out a bunch of, you know, nobody’s out there, have a great offensive line, and think it’s going to work out for you. Um, so I’m, you know, I’m not real confident in our running backs right now. I mean, I’d say my confidence level is probably about a six. my my my two areas of concern, biggest areas of concern, defensive tackle and then running back. Um, and I just I I have a lot of confidence in this offensive line, but I think what it’s going to force us to do is if we don’t really have a stout running game, it’s going to force Dak Prescott to pass the ball a lot. And like you said, that’s not necessarily a winning formula. But at the same time, uh, you know, I am I’m getting this feeling, and I, again, it’s, you know, just my feeling. I’m getting this feeling that Dak Prescott’s going to have a huge season. And I’m talking about, you know, 4,900 yards, maybe even maybe eclipse the 5,000 mark. Um, you know, and and talking 40 plus touchdowns. I think he can have that kind of season because I think that this offensive line gives him that time to throw and and and the running game is not as good as we need it to be. We might have to rely on Dak Prescott a little bit more. Now, will that bode for our overall success when it comes to the playoffs? Probably not. But I’m saying I think Dak Prescott um can end up having a really really big season this year. And I and I think that that’s probably the way that it’s going to go if if we don’t address that running back position and snag somebody, you know, whether it be be a trade or or or getting somebody off of a roster cut come come training camp. Yeah. And I mean the the thing is is you you still got Blue who’s a who’s a game breaker and you got Turpin that you could you could create a running game with short passes too. I mean, if if if they don’t have the between the tackle guys. The problem is, you know, it’s going to come down to Javvante Williams is really the X factor. Him and Mafa, one of the two of them have got to be the Marian Barber, the guy that can grind it out, man. Third and two. Yeah. Kill that clock with a lead. Otherwise, if you get that pass happy and you give the the other team opportunities to get the ball more, we know our defense isn’t our defense isn’t built like the Ravens or like the, you know, the the great defenses that are around there. They’re going to give up points. I mean, the secondary, you know, it’s it’s going to be questionable. I think we got the pass rush, but if you don’t have the secondary, that’s, you know, if the pass rush gets in trouble and doesn’t get to the quarterback and the quarterback has some time or if he’s if he can move around the pocket and he can buy time, it’s going to make it very very uh difficult on our on our secondary. That’s I think that’s one of the bigger problems that we have on our defense. I think defensive tackle I think I think there’s issues but I’m I’m I’m hoping that I flu with his scheme is going to have something to uh run defense top 15. How about 15? I’ll take that. I’ll take top 15. Yeah, absolutely. I’ll take top 15 versus, you know, almost dead last. I think last year I think they were 26th or 20 20 or 29th or they were they were they were towards the bottom of the league. I think they were 29th. I had a Washington for all those guys that think Quinn’s this mastermind defensive guy. The run defense in Washington sucked too and it’s sucked in. Yeah. Was now was Washington’s run defense were they dead last? They were like I look at I look at yards per carry more than I look at yards because if you’re ahead, they’re passing the ball, right? The other teams are passing. Their yards per carry was the worst in in the NFL. So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, because I knew I knew Dallas was I was trying to remember if Dallas was 26th or 29th versus the run. I want to say 29th. I want to say they were 29th. Dallas could have been pretty low because they were behind a lot. You know, teams were just running all over them because they Well, yeah. They’d get a they’d get an early lead and then and then they could just run the ball on Dallas at will, which I mean a lot of teams did. It was pretty crazy how manyund 100 plus yard games they gave up last year. So, um, but yeah, I mean, I think that I think you’re right about Javante Williams, though. And, you know, and for for everything he’s saying, you know, he’s saying all the right things that he feels good, he’s healthy, and feels as healthy as he’s as he’s felt in a long time, which is a good thing. And, you know, he’s coming back from multiple knee injuries and, you know, finally got a full off season to to come back and be healthy. And listen, you know, he’s a guy that’s shown flashes. as he showed flashes in Denver and you saw that this that this guy, you know, if he can stay healthy, that this guy can be a guy who could be a starting running back in the NFL, you know what I mean? I know that a lot of Denver fans were really excited about him and u the draft, man. I love they did and and and I think, you know, and I think there’s I’ve talked to several, you know, Broncos fans uh that I know that have told me that, you know, that they were disappointed to see him, you know, leave that they that they wanted him to stick around and kind of see what he could do, you know, healthy. They’re like, you know, listen, if he stays healthy, he’s going to be a great running back for you. So, um it’ll be interesting to see what he can bring to the table this year. I hope, you know, I hope like hell that, you know, he comes back to his rookie form and and and we see we see that out of him because if we can get that out of him, then maybe we we might just be better than what people think at that running back position. But my my thing to this, Mike, every year though, they have these preseason rankings and and they’re always wrong. I don’t really pay attention to the none of these lists, none of these rankings, power rankings, all this [ __ ] because none of it means a damn thing. July 8th, July 9th, whatever today is. July 9th, 8th, whatever. It none of that means [ __ ] today. You know what I mean? It don’t because it makes for good. It makes for good content when we’re talking. Yeah, it’s content. It’s content. Content, discussion, debate, entertainment. That’s that’s that’s all that it is because nobody really knows what any of these teams are going to be. I mean, even even Philadelphia, we all look at Philadelphia and we say, “Okay, you know what? Philadelphia is a team that should contend for the NFCs, right? Philadelphia should be a team that that’s going to be a contender in the playoffs because they have a pretty complete team, right? All it takes is for Saquon Barkley to get hurt. Let Saquon Barkley get hurt and then maybe one of their offensive linemen go down or maybe one of their stud DBs go down or or Jaylen Carter goes down with an injury. You know, all it takes is a couple of injuries or an injury at the quarterback position. Jaylen Herz goes down. I mean, if if that something like that happens, it changes the trajectory of the team and and and it happens every year. We see it happen every year. And we see also we see teams that are predicted to be really good that are not as good as what they were last year. Then we see teams that weren’t predicted to be really good that haven’t I mean look at the Minnesota Vikings last year. They’re a perfect example. They were a middle of the road team the year before. Then all of a sudden they they come out. Sam Darnold comes out and boom, they’re winning what 13 games I think they won last year. So it’s just it’s one of those things where nobody really knows where we’re going to be, what we’re going to be. We’ll get a better idea come preseason. Yeah. It’s usually like three or four games in the season, you’ll start to kind of feel where your team’s at. Yeah. One of the things I was gonna touch on this and Danny brought it up and talking about the the Commanders uh quarterback. So, um is it who was it? Uh Chris Kanty, you know, former Cowboy, former Giant. He’s on ESPN. you catch him sometimes in the morning getting ready for work and he they had him ranked the top five wide receiver quarterback pair not receiving core one receiver one one quarterback so I don’t know if you watched it I’m going to say you didn’t uh give me give me your top top five that you top five quarterback wide receiver quarterback wide receiver combo got to be a combo. One and one. So, um, and maybe I’m gonna say I’m gonna say Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase. Yeah. Um, I will say Dak Prescott, CD Lamb. Mhm. Um, I will go. You know what? Um, if you need any help, let me know and I’ll No, I’m I’m I’m I’m going to actually say I’m going to actually say um Jaylen Herz and AJ Brown. Uh because I think that’s I think that’s a great connection. Um then I’ll go, you know, I I got to I I want to say Justin Jefferson, but his quarterback’s lacking, so I can’t go there with the with the Vikings. I gota I got to leave them out of it. Um trying to think around here around the league. Oh, I’m going to go Baker Mayfield and uh and and Mike Evans. That was my fourth. Um and then my fifth would be um it’s tough. Yeah. I don’t know who my fifth I don’t know who my fifth would be right now. Um think of the top receivers in the NFL. you kind of kind of you want to throw. Yeah, I would say I see somebody said Goff to St. Brown. I would probably say that is number five. That’s a good one. So, yeah, probably Jared Goff and St. Brown. All right. So, you named a lot that were in the top five and I’ll say Dak Prescott number three. Dak Prescott to CD Lamb was ranked number three. Yeah. Jaylen Herz to to AJ Brown was ranked number two. Okay. March Chase and Burrow I believe are ranked four or five. Oh wow. I thought they would have been number one. Well, number one is in our division. Oh god. It’s there’s Did they say if they said Jaden Daniels to anybody then that’s Jaden Daniels and McLaren wide receiver. No, they’re not. I mean is that for clicks? is that for like we’ve seen this this play out and I’m not saying Jaden Daniels isn’t good, but we saw it with CJ Stout. You saw it, you know, with with quarterbacks coming off a rookie year and that now they’ve got them ranked as top five quarterbacks in the NFL and this and that. And I mean, do you do you I didn’t even have them in my top five. Yeah. No, I I definitely don’t I definitely don’t have those two in my top. I mean, was was McLaren even a top five receiver last year? No, I don’t. He had they he was bragging that he had nine touchdowns, which I’m thinking that’s I mean, that’s okay. It’s I mean, it’s not I mean, you know, cuz to me what I what you what I what I would look at there is I would look at kind of look and see who the top five receivers were. And I think that those are the guys that that you would go with, which like I said, the only reason Jefferson’s not in there is cuz I don’t really have much faith in JJ McCarthy as of yet. But Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow to me are the is number one. Those those two is that’s a pretty much dynamic duo. And then for me, second is got to be Dak and CD because I’ve got CD as a top three receiver. Um, you know, however you want to put it, you know, Chase, Jamar, Jamar Chase, Jefferson, and CD. You can argue one, two, three with those guys all you want. Me personally, I would take I would take CD Lamb over all of them. And I mean, you know, my my reasoning my reasoning on that is just I I just I CD I think he’s got the acrobatic catches. I think the way he can move inside out, play in the slot, move to the outside, you know, I just that’s why I got him over everybody else. Plus, it’s Dallas Cowboys, so I got a little bit of bias, but understand the argument either way. But, uh, yeah, I mean, I don’t I don’t have McLaren as a top five receiver, you know, and and so yeah, I just I don’t Yeah, I you know, Puka was one that they talked about, but he didn’t put him on there. Uh, Stafford, did they get Adams? Like, just wondering how that’s going to work out. Um, but I was just surprised. I was surprised how high uh Jaden Daniels has risen as as one of the top quarterbacks within one season. It’s just I’ve watched, you know, and I he’s a looks like a really good young young quarterback and I think he’s got a lot of potential and the sky’s is the limit and he could be a problem for us in in the in the division. I just got to see it a little bit more. And CD Lamb to me is is is far and above I I don’t even think it’s close between, you know, McLaren and and it’s nothing against him. I just think CD is that good. And I think I think is a good receiver. Dak is a much better passer. He doesn’t have the running that that Daniels or Herz has, but he’s a better passer there. I mean, I’ll I’ll argue that to the to the day I die. is a better throwing quarterback than those two. Yeah. And like I said, I think McLaren, it’s not that I’m taking anything away from him. I don’t think he’s a bad receiver, but I mean, he’s in my opinion, he’s not a top I don’t think he’s a top five receiver. Yeah. Terry McLaren. No. No. So, I don’t get it. So, I just say that was one of the things that was kind of tricky. And then I saw and that I think that’s where you said everything’s ac all over the board because I saw top 10 quarterbacks and some had Jaden Daniels top five. Some didn’t even have Dak Prescott, not didn’t have Jaylen Herz in the top 10, which I mean I guess you can argue it if you want. A lot of them had Dak kind of like in the bottom tier of of rankings, like you know, nine or 10. And I I don’t think you can argue that spot coming off injuries and this and that, but um it’s it’s all over the board with with these guys. And then your guy gets a lot of disrespect all of a sudden. They’re they’re they’re hating on the dadbot that that that is I mean I thought it’s it’s Well, that’s that’s funny to me that it’s a goddamn radio analyst sitting on his fat ass talking about a guy that’s won three Super Bowls. I mean, get the [ __ ] out of here, man. Look, Mahomes has been looking like that for forever. I mean, he’s had that he’s had that same physique for a long time. I mean, he literally I think it was last year they were tweeting about it and Mahomes was like, “Damn, they caught me off guard in that pick.” I mean, none of that is going to take away I mean, Mahomes I I feel like I bet you if he if he if you if he got weighed I he probably hasn’t gained any weight. He probably weighs the exact same. His body looks the same. Mahomes has never been a guy who was chiseled. Even when he was in college football, he was never one of the, you know, quarterbacks like kind of Dak Prescott is a very got a very muscular physique, right? You know, you have some of I’d say maybe like Lamar Jackson kind of a little bit, you know, slender type physique or whatever, but you you’ve always had them quarterbacks kind of a bigger build, you know what I mean? And Mahomes is built like a regular guy, you know what I mean? You you see quarterbacks like that all the time. He’s still You got P Manning, Eli Manning, Tom. Man, look at them dudes. Them them dudes don’t look like no damn peak performance athletes, but there was, you know, Pton Manning anyway was one of the best quarterbacks of his time. And you know, Mahomes is is is legit. The guy the guy’s won three damn Super Bowls, man. You can’t tell me nothing about that, man. And he’s been to what? He’s won three. He’s been to He’s been to five, you know. He’s basically been in the Super Bowl every year since he started playing football. So, look, I’m not worried about Patrick Mahomes. And in fact, I you know, we we talked about it. we talked about, you know, the the Chiefs and and how people were kind of ranking the Chiefs and everything. And I saw an interview not that long ago with Mahomes, uh, and he was talking about how excited he is about these receivers that he’s got this year, um, to throw to and that he thinks that he’s going to be able to sling the ball a little bit more, you know, having the guys that he’s got second year with Xavier Worthy and then you’ve got Rasheed Rice coming back healthy and, you know, he he he likes what he’s got and I I think he will. I think Mahomes will have a big year this year. I think he he’ll also be a guy that’s going to have a better season than what he did last year because he was dealing with some injuries uh to his receiving crew last year. But yeah, man. I I I I think that’s silly, man, for people to whenever people start talking about guys bodies and how they look. I I saw somebody saying that about Trayvon Diggs. They’re like, “Man, you know, dude’s been in the NFL for how many years and doesn’t look like he’s got, you know, a shred of muscle on him.” You know what I mean? Because he’s just a got a very slender build. But I’m like, look, that that that dude’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league. I don’t care if he looks like he’s a, you know, he look like he’s a guy that goes into the gym or not. I don’t care about that. Can he play football? Yes, he can. You know what I mean? Muscles don’t muscles don’t mean nothing. No. I mean, how many how many busts were there in the NFL that guys that were just ripped up and looked like, you know, Oh, yeah. Greek gods and, you know, with their shirts off, but when it came down to to playing football, it was like, yeah, not that. Well, you know, it’s it’s like, you know, some of these guys look uh look look they’ll look pretty tough and then other of these guys just you look at them, they may not seem like much, but they, you know, they’ll go out and they’ll they’ll blow your socks off with how how athletic they are. You know what I mean? because they’re born and they have these god-given gifts to be the the players that they are. You know what I mean? I think a lot of those guys are just born with it. It’s in their DNA and their genetics. Doesn’t mean they got to look like a Greek god when they’re doing it. It’s kind of like uh you know the the video we saw the other day of the the one guy that looked like he’s a tough guy with the tattoos all on his arm and he looks like he’s kind of and then he gets just absolutely mauled by a guy that just looks like one of the big old cornfed. I don’t know if you know that was that was an ex NHL player hockey player. He was the enforcer shirt. I’m like, “All right, he’s boom.” And he’s he’s doing the sound effects for the Panthers. Yeah. It was just like Oh, man. You picked a fight with the wrong one, man. The wrong one. That dude was pretty big though, too. He was pretty big. Like, let’s let’s think about it. I mean, and if you guys don’t know what we’re talking about, I mean, you got to it’s it was all over social media and the fight that that at the golf course in Canada because you can tell that I mean, look, look, no one if if anyone comes after you, right? I’m not going to back however big they are, I’m going to I’m defending myself and I’m going to do my damnest to survive, you know, whatever it takes. But I sure the hell am going to call out and go looking for trouble with a guy that’s about three three times the size me I mean is that am I No, no, no. That’s just for saying that. I mean it’s No, no. It’s it’s it’s it’s survival instincts, man. That’s survival instincts. That’s that’s um it’s like I told you, you know, in a situation like that, you either got to swallow your swallow your pride or swallow your teeth. one of the two because you’re probably going to get like, you know, I mean, look, I I I’ve I’ve heard people say, you know, size doesn’t matter. You know what I mean? And I get that. I’ve seen smaller guys knock out bigger guys. I have seen that. But listen, I’m I’m 63, 20, you know, 225, 230 lbs. If a dude that’s 65 and that dude’s about 270, I’m probably gonna I’m probably just going to do whatever I can to deescalate the situation. again. If if he’s I’m like you. If he’s coming for me, then I’ve got to defend myself. Then I’m going to go down swinging and and you know, we go we’ll find out what’s going to happen. But I’m not going to be the instigator in a fight with a dude that much bigger than me. I’m just not. No, I’m just not. No, I absolutely. And and not only that, the dude that got the dude that was talking all that [ __ ] and you know, he was drunk. I mean, the guy was drunk. If I’m if I’m Also, that’s the other thing, too. If I’m drunk and I’m I’m I know that I’m highly intoxicated, I’m walking away from that all day, man. Like, get get the hell out of here with that. That’s just ridiculous, though. Guy got what he Guy got what he deserved. No, he did. He did. It was funny. But but it was it was it was cool because I didn’t know who the guy was, right? You just saw I didn’t either. No. And then it comes out he’s a hockey and then you start watching everything and you watch him get the shirt, you know, the instincts came out and then he tossed him. You know, usually see the hockey guys that game, they all throw and it was Oh my god, it was it was so funny. I mean, well, that that that last one when he threw him, I mean, dude dude, he th he threw the guy about a good five yards before the guy landed because when he landed, I mean, you hurt you heard it land like like, you know, kind of some wind coming out of him. He He just chunked the hell out of him. Boy, that was funny. the friend though. Did you see the Freddy? Like the guy didn’t have he gave him a good show, but the dude wasn’t, you know, the friend was kind of like trying to retreat and just, you know, hit me kind of thing. He would he was No. No. And and and that’s the thing, too, is that that, you know, that very last throw that he chunked chunk the guy on, man. He uh he did uh he did the guy a favor because he could he could have went back at him and and hit him again. Could have finished the job, probably knocked him out, but he decided instead, you know, take him and throw him or whatever. That was just funny, man. Sometimes you sometimes you write a write a check your butt can’t cash. So, you know, be careful out there, people, when you’re uh picking a fight with somebody. Uh don’t let that beer make you feel 10 feet tall and bulletproof because trust me, you’re not. Yeah. You know, I’ I’d rather be an alive coward than a dead hero. You know what I’m saying? That’s right. That’s right. Damn right. Trouble. There’s it just there’s no reason for it. But it was funny. But yeah, not to change the subject, but looking back, you know, at the Cowboys, it it it just made me think a little bit. Toughness, right? I mean, that guy was a tough guy. He’s an enforcer on, you know, on a hockey team, which those guys are about as tough as can be. The attitude with this team, and I think the one thing that has been the Achilles heel for this Cowboys team is toughness, right? teams. You heard them on when we when we play and Fox has the audio going and you know, let’s let’s knock these front runners in the mouth or let’s run and run it down their throat. Let’s embarrass him. They’re soft and this and that, you know, challenging their manhood. What do you think about this Cowboys team with with the moves they’ve made? You see Parson’s growing in leadership. you get these other. Do you feel that this team has got a chance to have that identity to be a tough team? A team that’s not going to take [ __ ] from people that will fight back, that will, you know, and inflict the pain rather than take it. Yeah, they’re I mean, they’re starting they’re starting to get there. I don’t know that they’re completely there yet. Um because that I think that mentality really has I I honestly with a lot of it I think you’re I think that’s something that is kind of ingrained in you um through your childhood. You know what I mean? Like Mike Horvin you know we talked about it many of times man you know grew up in a rough neighborhood you know bunch of siblings you know uh grew up and just grew up rough fighting fighting and you know I mean grew up rough right? So, I think a lot of that is kind of ingrained in you. You know what I mean? Some people are just kind of docile. And I mean, and and it’s crazy to think that a football player could be docile because, you know, it’s a violent sport, right? But some of them just just are. You know what I mean? Some of them just aren’t that, you know, that don’t really have that. But I do think we’re getting some of it in. I think, you know, I think that, you know, George Pickkins, I think, is kind of one of those guys that ain’t gonna, you know, we saw it with the Jordan Lewis thing. I mean, when I saw it, I remember thinking that that was kind of a, you know, punk move by Pickkins, but he wasn’t going to let somebody walk out there and kind of celebrate on him. He yanked him down by the helmet. And and say what you want, sometimes you need some of that dirty. Sometimes you need some of that nasty. Sometimes you need one of them guys to say, “Hey, you know, not today, not with me, not on this field.” You know what I mean? And then I think we got some of that in Cooper BB. I think he’s kind of a guy that’s a mauler. I think he’s kind of a little bit of a got a little bit of a nastiness in him. You know, you’ve got uh you know, Booker, you know, you look at what he his interview post NFL draft. I mean, what he said was was still I still get chills hearing that, you know, little clip and it makes me it just kind of brings all them hairs to stand up on the back of my neck. I think we do kind of have some of those guys, but it’s also a mentality, you know what I mean? That you got to make it a a mentality. I know that um and and not to switch gears of another team, but one of the things that I used to that that I love absolutely love about Texas Tech’s basketball coach Graham McCaslin is he he he has this mantra and it’s toughest team wins. And that was that’s been his thing. He write that writes it on the ch on the ch toughest team wins. And you you go out and you watch you know you watch them play and they’ve adopted that philosophy. They’ve they’ve really taken it to heart to go out there and to be the toughest team, whether that means, you know, diving for balls, whether that means, you know, taking a hard, you know, getting a put taking a hard foul, whatever it may be. And that’s what Shottenheimimer, I’m hoping, you know, him and his staff, I flu and stuff, starts to ingrain on this team is that you you have to be physical. You have to be tough. You have to bring the fight to the opposing team every single Sunday, every single down. You know what I mean? Like our boy Sees says, man, you know what does it say? one shift at a time, one period at a time, one game at a time. You know, it’s one down at a time, one play at a time, one game at a time. Uh that’s what the Cowboys the kind of philosophy that they need to adopt and be physical with it. Don’t let somebody come in there and bully you and punch you in the mouth. If somebody punches you in the mouth, you know, kick them in the nuts and then punch them in the mouth. You know what I’m saying? Let’s let’s They got to They just They just have to. They can’t be one of these finesse teams. They can’t be one of these, you know, soft around the edges team. They just got to be go out and be physical and be hard. Yeah. And I think it starts with the offensive line if they want an identity and that could be it could it’s contagious. You know, you talked about BB, you talked about Booker. I mean, Tyler Smith’s no joke. That interior of our offensive line has a chance to be dominant, nasty, physical, and that can be contagious on down the line and it’s infectious to the defense as well and to the rest of the squad. I think the pickings move, you got to have, you know, I think that’s the one thing the Cowboys were lacking is you you got to have some dogs out there that yeah, they live on the edge. It’s it’s it’s it’s what I talk about even in my line of work. I mean, typically in sales and, you know, you’re working, you know, in outside sales and this and that, your best salespeople, they’re they’re lone wolves, man. They’re they’re they got they live on the edge. They live on the edge and you got to kind of let them live on the edge a little bit. It can’t you can’t be black and white. You got to have gray because in the gray is where they make [ __ ] happen. And I think with football, you got to have some guys that live on the edge and you’re going to be emotional. Now, you got to control that emotion. I I use Michael Irvin as as the example. He was emotional, but he never let that impact the outcome of games. He never let that impact negatively on his team. He used that emotion as motivation and as to get his guys. I mean, I have you have yet to find anyone who played with Michael Irvin on any level, high school, college, or pro, say that he wasn’t one of the best teammates and the hardest working guy on the team. I I you have to find one. Go find one. It’ll be the first one I’ve heard. That’s the that But he he was on the edge. I mean, he was he a little you know, he was a playmaker, but you know, he lived that lifestyle, too. Um, so I think that’s what Pickkins, you know, hopefully can bring, but they’ve got to get more of that on the defense. And I think the missing piece is the defensive tackle. And I think the defensive tackle is a guy when you see the, you know, I hate to say it, but Jaylen Carter when he started to take over that game in the Super Bowl and and into the playoffs and and play, I mean, it was infectious to the team and it gets you motivated. you see that guy going in there and slamming the running back or getting to the quarterback or doing whatever. I think that’s the area that I just I hope the Cowboys have a plan uh for that defense, but that’s just my thoughts on it. Yeah. No, I mean, I don’t I don’t I don’t disagree with that at all. I mean, you know, you hope to see that, you want to see that. It’s it’s just something that’s got to be instilled instilled in your players. And you know, and when you talk about, you know, playing in that playing in that gray, uh, you know, hopefully that those Cowboys players just play in the gray and and don’t [ __ ] around and do what, you know, Kamonte Turpin did and go try to live in the gray because then you’re then you’re then you’re in orange because you’re going to We didn’t talk about Turpin with you. We talked about it on Monday’s show. So, I know it’s older news, but like when you see that I mean it was I mean like you know well this is this is strike two for me. This is strike two for me. The first strike was when he had that when he was planning up you know the the afterparty for the Green Bay game. You know what I mean? Plan that out you know you know advertising that they’re going to have an afterparty for that was one of the first ones because it’s just like dude come on man like go out and win the game first. You’re sitting there thinking about a goddamn party. Like, yeah, dude. Go out there and focus on the damn game, man. How about that? How about focus on getting a win and not getting [ __ ] slapped all around the field and now you know, you’ve got him out there with with with weed and gun and and listen, I’m not one to judge anybody for their lifestyles, but god damn it. I mean, you’re you’re a you’re a you’re a millionaire, man. Dude, leave your weed at home or have a fall guy. Have a guy that’s riding with you that can take the blame. I mean, I’ve heard other NFL players say it before. Have yourself a fall guy, man. That he’s got the damn weed and the gun on him. And then the other thing, too, is that you’re an NFL. Why the hell do you have an illegal gun anyway? Is Texas goddamn 12y olds can walk around with a [ __ ] gun there. I got clarification on because we had a law and I don’t know. I don’t live in Texas. I didn’t law. The reason because Texas you can carry I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know you can’t carry intoxicated or with drugs. With drugs. That’s why he got that charge is because they had drugs in the car and if you have a weapon in the car with drugs. So, was was the gun registered though? Uh I you know I because because what I what I had read initially and again like you I don’t I don’t know 100% sure. What I had read was that it was an unlawful firearm which typically doesn’t necessarily mean because they’ll have possession of a firearm with you know with marijuana. Yes, that is that is a charge. You’ll catch a charge for that. But what I read was it said it was an unlawful firearm which made me think that he had an unregistered firearm because that’s what that would be. It was unregistered which again like I said if you got an unregistered firearm in the state of Texas then you’re a goddamn idiot. Like what the hell are you doing? Like like I said listen you got [ __ ] you know kids are kids are born with guns in Texas in the in the street. You know he just walked down the street with a goddamn six shooter. So, I you know, it just to me it’s just one of those things where it’s like it’s it’s we got a new coach, we got a new regime in here, and it just it’s just like, god damn, come on, man. Can we get through an offseason without having something like this happen, you know, and it just seems like it always happens to the Cowboys. real quick because I I did Garland had had a question and I want to make sure we talk about it and but with Turpin you know what I said is this is a kind of a first test for for Shottenheimimer you haven’t really heard much about it I mean how do you think he should handle this situation internally do you think they should do some kind of discipline that is that is leveled down that’s going to be public I mean what do you think because it’s not I mean they’re misdemeanors and I get it. I know Rick and And it’s not like he didn’t go beat, you know, a woman up one. It was just bonehead like you said. So, what what kind of discipline should it be handled in house or do you think a message needs to be sent? So, me me personally, what I would me personally, what I would do uh is like I would keep it in house. I wouldn’t say what’s happening. I I would let I would let you know maybe let the media know that we we have handled and addressed the turf situation within the building. He understands that these are not the expectations. These are not the standards of the Dallas Cowboys. But I’d have that [ __ ] running and win sprints until he, you know, until he dropped dead. You know what I’m saying? Like, you know, from fatigue just I every single practice I’d be like at the end of the practice it’s like, “All right, you’re going and running wind sprint. You’re running win sprints for 20 minutes.” You know what I mean? And that’s what you’re going to do that for the next month and and every every practice we have when the practice is over, you’re running. You know what I mean? Something along those lines because I don’t think I don’t think that it warrants a suspension. I don’t think it’s anything that it’s that major that it warrants them being suspended for a game or anything. But I think that I do think that it you got to you got to send a message to your team that that that’s not acceptable either. that look, we ain’t going to you guys. You you you play for one of the most recognizable brands in America, in the world really. Um, you know, we expect better out of you. Don’t be a bonehead. Don’t draw unnecessary attention. Let’s let’s let’s let’s put the [ __ ] to the side and, you know, watch what you’re doing. Be aware. You know what I mean? Be aware. Have some awareness out there. Absolutely. And just to we’re we’re getting up against the clock a little bit, but uh you know, Garland asked, “Hey, how do we support the tailgate party?” And uh I was going to have cuts on and I sent him a message, but I don’t know, maybe something’s up. Um but I guess he’s not going to be able to join us. But he, if you guys remember last year, and I’ll we’ll post some stuff on our social media so you’ll be able to see it. But last year he did like a a bottle opener. It was really cool as Cowboys cave and I actually I actually got mine real quick on on the wall. I’ll grab it. Hold on. Right. And so we did it and it was a great opportunity to where you get something and you can you buy it, all the money goes to the tailgate uh party for the expenses and you’re getting some in return. And we had a lot of people that got one and they got it signed. Kelly was like me. We forgot. We’re running around just talking to everyone. We forgot to get people to sign it. but you can get it signed and and kind of commemorate the uh the great event. So, he’s doing something similar, but it’s going to be it’s going to be like a paddle and it’s going to have Cowboys cave on it and I think I I don’t want to speak for him, but I think he could put like a custom message on the back or, you know, if you want to put your name custom on the custom on the back up to seven up to seven letters that you can that you can customize. And so, yeah, we have he’s got a couple of really good examples. He’s actually going to be sending some stuff out. He’s sending I know he’s sending you uh Mike yours and then mine. He’s sending them. We’ll be able to show you guys on the show what those look like. Um they’re going to be super cool though. Uh it’ll be something that you want to have. It’s something that you can keep in your man cave that you can keep. I keep mine Yeah. It’s kind of like that if you can see it. That’s what it looks like. It’s hard to see the design because the glare, but it’s it says Cowboys Cave on. It’s really cool. You’ll be able to get it signed. So, you can order it and we’ll get you the details. We got plenty of time. Uh, but you can other you can donate through uh, you know, cash apps and and all that kind of stuff or you can bring a few bucks when you come. If you don’t have any money, come anyway. We’re not asking for money. We’re we’re we’re we’re footing the bill and um, and because it’s a great time and it’s worth it to me. Absolutely. Channel. So, uh, it’s not necessary, but at least you get something in return. Uh we’ve got a great, you know, product that that Cuts is is doing and he does phenomenal work. So definitely look for that. Absolutely, man. It’s going to be a good time. Looking forward to it and can’t wait to see everybody out there. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, it’ll be good and we’re going to have a great time on the tailgate. So if you guys are up in the air, you’re not sure what game to go to, uh I know the Packer game, it’s a little pricey. That’s a hot ticket. Uh but you have a couple options. They always do standing room only, so you can get tickets cheap. Uh or I know Cuts and some people are going to be hanging out in uh at the tailgate for the game, so you could wa, you know, you can hang out with some of the crew and watch the game there. So anyway, definitely definitely uh try and make it if you can. It’s going to be a great time. We got tailgate of the day uh through through the Dallas Cowboys. We had a bunch of you could see kind of the pictures in our and you know next to Kelly M’s name. That was some of the stuff from the tailgate. It was a lot of fun, man. Now, we didn’t win, uh, but we won the year before, so we’re one and one. This is the third one. Something’s got to give. And what better way is it to be at the tailgate and come out happy beating the god darn Green Bay Packers who have been a nemesis and a thorn on our side the last year. The opportunity to get revenge and the opportunity to to kind of finally get over the hump of beating these guys. Yeah. Will be so sweet. It’ll be so sweet. Absolutely, man. I can’t wait. It’s one of the highlights of the year. Um, for me, I know it’s and you know, I’m pretty sure for you and and for Cuts and for everybody else that comes, it’s just a it’s a great time, man, to to get together with a bunch of passionate Cowboys fans and, you know, talk football, talk life, eat good food, drink beer, you know what I mean? And, uh, and just just have a good time, man. And it’s it is it’s a great time. Both years were a huge success, you know. I think what did we have? Did we hold down three spots last year or was it two? I think it was three spots last year. So we might we held down three spots. So I think yeah, we we we you know, it seems to grow every year. So I mean, you know, we might be we might be holding down four spots this year, but I mean it’s it’s it’s awesome. It’s a fun time. Everybody that comes out talks about how much fun they had. You know, you get to meet a lot of people, Cowboys fans. A lot of them that are out there at the tailgate are not from Dallas, Texas. You know, a lot of these people are flying in, driving in, coming from out of state. Um, and so it’s cool to to to be able to meet a lot of these guys. And then and then you know be able to try the the food. Cuts. Cuts is out there doing his thing. Always just just amazing. And then then we got Doug out there. He cooked. Then I know Jeff we had come out there and he cooked. And I mean so we got you got all kinds of good good stuff to eat, good stuff to drink and good company and good conversation. So looking forward to seeing everybody out there this year. Yeah. And like I said, you can say and I’m telling you, there’s some people that roll solo. Don’t be like, man, you know, I can’t bring two people. I just go myself. Come yourself. I mean, it’s family. So, if you roll up by yourself, you ain’t going to be alone. All of us are there. It’s a great time. And I’m just telling you, it’s I’ve never been part of an event that everyone is just so nice. Everyone is so friendly. And it you could be a fan of the Packers and you know, if you got a buddy, you’re going with the Packers fan, bring them along. As long as it’s good [ __ ] talking and and stuff, man, that’s what it’s all about. No one’s going to cry. You can make fun of us. You beat us in the playoffs and bears, we could we got to deal with it, man. That [ __ ] happened. We can’t we can’t hide from it. But just make sure that when you dish it out and we whoop that ass and you’re coming out to the post tailgate party, you you know you’re going to get an earful. Just take it with a smile just like we would have to. So that’s the way it goes. So it it’ll be it’ll be a great time, man. It’s it’s going to be cool. and looking forward to it.
