The crew brings signature banter, heartfelt moments, and sharp film-room insights.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Super Bowl Aftermath & What a Dallas Parade Would Be Like

• Brief celebration of the Seattle Seahawks winning Super Bowl 60 over the New England Patriots.

• Isaiah gives a vivid, personal recollection of being in a championship parade, emphasizing the energy and family inclusion.

  "Being in the parade was absolutely crazy...the coolest part was the fact that they included the families." – Isaiah, [03:42]

• The hosts fantasize about how massive a Dallas Cowboys parade would be after a 30-year drought, speculating it could require shutting down the tollway from Frisco to Dallas.

2. Tribute to Ms. Price—Legendary Cowboys Fan

• The team pays heartfelt tribute to Ms. Price, an iconic Cowboys fan recently passed away.

  • Josh highlights how integral she was:

    "She was a stranger to nobody. No, she knew everybody. She talked to everybody. She knew everybody by name, too." – Kyle, [05:48]

  • Isaiah notes her unique influence on players:

    "If you hear Ms. Price's voice, you stop and you turn around and you go say hi." – Isaiah, [07:05]

• The group unanimously agrees her sideline location should be memorialized.

3. Cowboys International Game: News & Rumors

• The Cowboys set to play their first ever franchise game in Brazil—likely Week 1 in Rio de Janeiro.
• Patrick and Kyle predict the NFL will logistically make this the opener, followed by a mini-bye week due to the long trip.

  "It's a 10 plus hour flight...so it would make sense that you would give the teams time to get there..." – Patrick, [10:36]

4. Offseason Updates: Free Agency & Contracts

• Javonte Williams: Cowboys optimistic about retaining him.

  "There is a growing chance that Javonte Williams could see a new contract from the Cowboys probably before the league year opens in mid March." – Patrick, [11:32]

• Rico Dowdle: Has openly said he'd welcome a return to Dallas, but that’s still speculative.

• George Pickens:

  • Expected to receive the franchise tag ("not news," according to Patrick and the group).

    "So the sun is also expected to rise tomorrow." – Patrick quoting Dave Hellman, [13:58]

  • There is internal strategy to use the tag for leverage/time, with hopes for a long-term extension before training camp.

  • All sides—Jerry Jones, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb—want to keep him; CeeDee willing to rework his deal, doesn't care who earns more.

    "He does not care. CD Lamb, multi time all pro wide receiver...says he doesn't care if George Pickens is making [more]." – Patrick, [17:12]

  • If talks ever broke down (seen as unlikely), best trade value would come before the NFL Draft.

    "No, you shouldn't [worry]. Because that's not the formula for the Cowboys." – Patrick, [13:33]

  • Kyle adds league sources would value Pickens at a second or third-round pick in a trade, but the Cowboys wouldn’t consider moving him unless it’s a first.

    "Don't even talk to me if that's the case." – Kyle, [19:33]

5. Super Bowl Lessons: Learning from Seattle’s Blueprint

• Seattle’s transformation highlighted as a model:
  • The Seahawks hit on multiple first-round draft picks the last few years—Devin Witherspoon, Jackson Smith-Njigba, Byron Murphy—which turbocharged their turnaround.
  • Success was not about luck, but excellent draft-and-develop result and aggressive player identification.

    "In order to do that, you have to get guys that develop and develop quickly." – Kyle, [34:36]

• Discussion pivots to which current Cowboys need a breakout for Dallas to follow a similar path.

6. Who Must Step Up for Dallas?

Defense:

• Savon Revel (CB): Patrick identifies him as a critical player who, with a full, healthy offseason, could answer needs at a thinned cornerback room.

  "I'm looking for 17 plus games from Savon Revel as a starter playing at a high level." – Patrick, [36:34]

• Duron Bland: Needs to get back to All-Pro form, regain confidence and mental edge.

  "I think Bland has more than what he has shown. I'm not sure if he believes it." – Isaiah, [39:38]

• Ready Stewart (Safety): Isaiah champions his versatility and physicality in the new system, citing that coaching confidence can unlock player potential.

  "Belief from coaches as a player makes all the difference in the world in the player." – Isaiah, [40:29]

Offense:

• Tyler Guyton (OT): Josh shifts conversation to offense, naming Guyton as the lineman who needs not just availability but a nasty, dominant edge.

  "Give me Tyler Guyton in a big, bad way. That guy needs to step up." – Josh, [44:45]

  • Debate if Guyton's loss of aggression is due to injury worries or a loss of confidence.

7. Congrats & Respect to Former Cowboys in Super Bowl

• Special shoutout to former Cowboys DeMarcus Lawrence (D-Law) and Adam Dirty, who both earned rings with Seattle.
  • Hosts respect D-Law for his professionalism, avoiding negative comments about Dallas even when baited by the press.

    "He could have said some crazy stuff if he wanted to ... he stayed true respectful through it all. Kudos." – Isaiah, [29:18]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Ms. Price’s Passing:

  "If you hear Ms. Price's voice, you stop and you turn around and you go say hi." – Isaiah, [07:05]

• On George Pickens’ Importance:

  "If you remove George Pickens from that equation, you do not have as good of an offense, simply that." – Josh, [20:15]

• On Seattle’s Player Development:

  "They had an incredible percentage of hitting on first-round picks...this is the same selection the Cowboys have." – Kyle, [34:45]

• On Coaching & Player Development:

  "Belief from coaches as a player makes all the difference in the world in the player." – Isaiah, [40:29]

• Josh on Tyler Guyton:

  "Give me Tyler Guyton in a big, bad way. That guy needs to step up...and remain healthy through the entire season." – Josh, [44:45]
