That's 855-2124 CBS on being joined here by super producer and host Dave Shepherd, Dave, how was your Thursday. How are you doing right now I'm doing well JR it's great to be with you it's it's amazing to see that Jerry Jones is already giving reason why the cowboy should not be worrying despite a 25 year absence from NFC championship games better than that I'm doing well JR how to use her excellent good excellent spell that EXCE double out ENC arm excellent Jerry Jones can be excellent. You just mention Jerry Jones. He cannot cannot absolutely cannot be excellent. Sure, the Dallas Cowboys are the most just the most valuable franchise sports franchise on earth. The Dallas Cowboys just went over of valuation of $8 billion was Jerry Jones going to complain about King Solomon team is not to collect that 8 million he's not cashing out.

He's going to be around and stick around for ever. But at this rate I mean is Jerry Jones going to see another championship shop just alluded to it just to be 80 years old in October sure 80 unit, you don't know nobody know Jerry Jones could be here for another five years. He could be around for another 20 we have no idea, but the fact is, how many more years is he gonna be running football operations for the Dallas Cowboys. How many more years. We got a get of that and so when you have a nose which is not are not a really a surprise Syron Smith. I can't remember the last time I seen this man have a healthy season in the NFL when he plays he's a pro bowler when he plays he's an all-pro when he plays. He's one of the best quarterback protectors in the game. That's when he plays that Prescott needs help. The Dallas Cowboys just drafted Tyler Smith. In short, Syron Smith will come back hopefully by the time we get to December around Christmas, but dammit that's that's that's more than half the season gone, Tyler Smith, who they just drafted out of Tulsa. It's his job to become the starting left tackle in the sum of the Dallas Cowboys known for right and let go back to the 90s the offense of line right opening up holes for Emmitt Smith, right yes right, but right now the offense of line is on the side of wrong Dallas Cowboys. You gotta think about the injuries that that this team is pretty much suffering right now you got a patchwork offense of line Connor McGovern all. He's basically a journeyman come to they just got Lyle Collinson.

He said his own problems and issues and now he can try to do that for the Cincinnati Bengals got guys like Terrence Steele who are in you know what I would like to know about an offense of line.

Nothing.

Not a damn thing. I prefer my offense of line to be anonymous outside of up. That's the God it you never hear about.

You hear about offense of lineman when defenders are blowing past them.

You hear about offense of lineman when they are allowing the quarterback to get sacked. The only other time you hear about offense of lineman is when one of them is going to the Pro bowl, or they're getting a new contract because they protect the quarterback does that Prescott have that type of protection here coming up in the year 2022.

I'd venture to say no. He will be an additional year removed from that terrible fractured ankle is EQ Elliott.

Obviously, relying upon an offense of line to help create holes and allow him to be dynamic when he's healthy, CD lamb being elevated to the number one receiver CD lamb is been dealing with a foot injury welcome to the big time as the number one and then you got Michael Gallup's man blew out his knee last year and is waiting on them. The pretty much come on back. Amari Cooper is now a member of the Cleveland Browns. It will take half of the season or three quarters of the season before he receives a pass from Sean Watson and I'm supposed to feel confident I'm supposed to feel good about the Dallas Cowboys. I'm supposed to feel good that that the Dallas Cowboys can go into the NFC East. Look at the New York Giants look at the Eagles look at the Washington commanders and think that they should be tops. They should. I'm starting to feel with the injuries mounting already.

Before the season start start to think that this is the same all damn cowboys what what am I supposed to feel about the Dallas Cowboys. There, America's team right while the Americas team because Jerry Jones bought them in the late 80s and find every body and once in championships and couldn't stand the coach and wanted to take the credit. And then they been crap ever sense. Almost a dozen straight playoff appearances with no no conference game they just lost to the 49ers earlier this year ever going to the Super Bowl ever been there since 1996. Haven't even been to a conference championship game they going through the Bill Parcells excellent coach they've gone through Wade Phillips.

They start to dam along with Jason Garrett. I thought Jason Garrett might've had.

I don't know maybe he had a photos of Jerry Jones. He stuck around so long, Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, I mean what are you guys doing coach the Cowboys.

Jerry Jones has done an excellent excellent job marketing. See Jerry Jones has done an excellent job selling the team I've been at their facility in Frisco. I've been to the outside which is basically all basically showcase of everything at their practice facility. The Dallas Cowboys are top-notch man you play for the Cowboys. I don't think you want to go anywhere your celebrity and sat you plant the biggest most opulent Stadium AT&T stadium is like a spaceship fell out of the sky you play and practice and get things together and in Frisco when you're not in California.

Jerry Jones sends you to California to practice Oxnard you come back and you are in Frisco. Beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be a cowboy, but the team sucks depend quarterback $40 million.

You have a running back.

Unfortunately with his EQ Elliott. I still believe is EQ. Elliott is an elite running back. He's just had to deal with injuries and he hasn't been here complained about him to the offense of line is in shambles must be also real. The Dallas Cowboys are known to pick up just guys that you have to cross your fingers for it's a beautiful thing to have Michael Parsons go go to the Pro bowl. He's going to tackle more than 100 guys he's going to accumulate his share of sacs he's going to be amazing.

Am I supposed to feel that the markers want to play the whole year and my supposed to believe that latent brand – will be around I meet. This is true Yvonne Diggs as he gotta be in store for 10 INC's out. I don't I don't know you have a star every now and in here and there out of position, but to solidify things not so sure so slight here we go again, except for this year there I would say there's high for the Dallas Cowboys you every year people talk about the Cowboys and the Cowboys ago went even if fans Cowboys are going to win. This is going to be the year cowboys, turn around, I don't even hear that coming out of Dallas I will hear that all across the country. I think we are so far removed now from 1996 that there's a generation of football fans who don't even associate the Dallas Cowboys with winning. They see the Dallas Cowboys for what they are, Murray was asked about the Dallas Cowboys couple years ago, Murray. Just like I wasn't thinking about them in high school I wasn't thinking about them. Growing up why because they were just as they were bad, just like whatever. And this is what the Dallas Cowboys have been for the past 20 years and so if you are someone who's barely 2 decades old like Kyla Murray what you are member of the Dallas Cowboys you don't remember 1996. Every year that you seen the Cowboys is been a whole big disappointment you seen them disappoint you seen them sock you seen them have high expectations and ultimately lose and I'll tell you this about the Dallas Cowboys right now that cooked one of the pool. Who's going to tell me who is really going to tell me who in their right mind. I will say is going to tell me the Dallas Cowboys going to compete for title who's going to set up rules will say that with a straight face. Jerry Jones can't even say that with a straight face Dallas Cowboys might win 10 games they might go 10 and seven I don't know maybe to go. Not will not not that bad. Let's give him 10 wins, dammit, the Dallas Cowboys might even still win the NFC East. It may be there the Eagles. Let's see what Jaelyn hurts can of all to do but all that America's team row row right we don't we don't even need to hear that no more Dallas Cowboys and competing for a championship spot.

The Dallas Cowboys are not competing for in NFC title then not competing to go to the NFC title game.

The Dallas Cowboys will just be competing to win the NFC East to go to the playoffs and that said we might as well wait for another elimination similar to what they got. Earlier this year against the 49ers where they lost what 23 to 17 cowboys will be okay when okay and good enough for long time.

The Dallas Cowboys have either been a okay or be bad, but ultimately see they have choked Seaford choked.

I got that from Sesame Street C is for choked and that is something that the Dallas Cowboys have specialized in since 1996, and despite the latest injury to their offense of line Jerry Jones.

He does not believe tar Ron Smith in his injury is doomsday for the franchise. Take a listen to this chart that no one recognizes how much our team depends on what he contributes to the team any more than time recognize that he feels off-line. Okay, on the other hand, were number one graphic was drafted because we know the future and we need to be looking for a left tackle of the future, maybe not.

Time span, but certainly somebody special. We think we've got that enough sure have a lot of up immediately as we go under these opening part of this season we got a good plan. Yes players that we think can step in and play it made you.

I can step in and play they would move my asked that hello going out the way I got on the good I'm sure you get someone who's more athletic, bigger, faster, taller, stronger than but I mean damning will make no difference. I'm sorry the Dallas Cowboys are not rolling. It's the season with high expectations.

And that's because there's a reality here. The Dallas Cowboys might have stars pockmarked on the team but as a team, the Dallas Cowboys are not closer to a championship and Jerry Jones was moving closer in a couple of months to being 80 years old man Dallas Cowboys inguinal title this year and is now what they're competing for all the Dallas Cowboys, America's team are the Dallas Cowboys supposed to be out there fighting for in NFC title and fighting for championship. These damn cowboys will be fighting for a playoff spot is going to come down between them and the Eagles will once you get there if you get to the playoffs. Mangels modem Super Bowl and I guess Jerry Jones will fire Mike McCarthy maybe and try to figure things out because next year he will be 81 and I'm sure he wants another title is been a long time. It's been 1996 NFL fans and active NFL players.

They don't remember the Dallas Cowboys being good is the chair our sport. We show here with you on CBS sports radio phone lines are open right now. That's 855-2124 CBS. That's 8552124C. B.

S.

Another injury to the Cowboys tar Ron Smith goes down again, this time to a fracture in his knee. You got a throw rookie out there at left tackle.

Let's hope that Prescott can go to the season healthy. Let's hope Ezekiel Elliott can go to the season healthy for the Dallas Cowboys.

Let's be real. What you expecting from them. Me nothing compete for the NFC East with the Eagles and may even Washington angle pushovers.

I don't think Carson once more up himself. But let's be real here.

Dallas Cowboys inguinal championship this year and that will be another failure on it. Seen or for the team that is worth more than any team on the planet $8 billion.

What are your thoughts on these Dallas Cowboys 855-2124 CBS that is 855-2124 CBS I am JR you're locked into the JR sport ratio CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio show your wants to hear from you know 855-2124 CBS. That's 85521242270 were going to get to. I guess the Lakers weekly got a couple of America's team right to find out think about professional sports here in the United States of America.

Do I call them America's teams are to call them the teams with the front runners like come on now, there's a lot of people running around.

I don't care what corner or pocket of North America that you live in you know somebody you know somebody there are the will. They are a Cowboys fan. Let me let me put see this way let's let's think about this, they might be 40 to 45 years old maybe, but let us give a wider range. They are 35 to 45 years old. They are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, they are fan of the New York Yankees seek cowboys in the near fan of the Los Angeles Lakers will also America's teams right, or should I call them you know teams with a lot of front running as fans when it comes to the dollars will get to the Lakers but right now is talk about cowboys. If you're Dallas Cowboys fan. You can't even seriously walk around and say this is going be our year.

You can do that you can't you fighting for a playoff spot in the NFC East you not even one of the best teams in the NFC offense of line is in shambles.

You have a running back.

Unfortunately, who's been hurt, who now has to run behind set offense of line you have a quarterback pay $40 million. Many people thought that he was overpaying at the time coming off of a major ankle injury. One year remove God bless and in any of course, tweaked it a little bit last year. Now he has to play behind that line, it's appropriate that the Dallas Cowboys have a star midfield. They got stars on the team but do they have a full team good enough to compete for title. The answers no going to be competing for the NFC East and adding good enough. Jerry Jones is getting ready to turn 80 years old.

You better get this man another big Mac or not a big Mac. If you remember hard knocks from last year two years ago I was like will dammit how much, how many Egg McMuffin's with extra salt can Jerry Jones eat this man was sent on hard knocks Eli hey I'll have a was a thing called hey Shep, what's the breakfast sandwich from McDonough Egg McMuffin yes could call our McCrindle McCrindle Egg McMuffin you get it you get it feels like toy food. But anyway like you said when you play for Jerry Jones you feel like you're playing in a toy store. What is that me spaceship from the sky and when you plan there. It's like you like in a special at all like AT&T change.

Have you been in there I'm I'm agreeing with you like I totally heart of concurrent thing with they gave me a tour of that place.

When it opened its that's ridiculous.

I'm on a highway like 15 to 20 miles away and I'm saying to myself what the hell is that in the background ago that's that's where were going with own AT&T stadiums does not hire a coach or you can write but he knows how to hire a coach. He knows how to hold on for one for too long here I Sada make the coach feel uncomfortable.

Hey, I got Mike McCarthy as my head coach, but this plenty of replacements if I wanted to hire one what you what you doing here, actually. What is not doing.

He's not hiring anyone good enough to help run the franchise. You know what it be nice. It be nice if the Dallas Cowboys won a championship while Jerry Jones was still kicking while he was still around, but it feels like there's going to be another reset. Jerry Jones is the general manager Jerry Jones is the owner typically if you hire a general manager, you will give him a 5 to 6 year window to turn things around.

How is there any type of turnaround. When Jerry Jones is the end-all be-all here see there's a problem and so welcome to another year where the Dallas Cowboys don't when anything they can try to win the NFC East. That's about it. You going to do, go to the playoffs again and lose one more time 23 to 17 or whatever the case might be 855-2124 CBS that is 8552124C. B. S. Kyle is calling from New York.

I wonder if he likes any of those bum as New York seems to call your CBS sports radio. Well, JR, Maxwell 49er fan. Thanks for taking my call. But yet no I don't think of the job are you going anywhere and tell Jerry Jones about about building because I think that I think that he makes emotional decisions. I think you give the outback contract based on those emotions and I may have been killed on the team for years.

How long did you give Jake and Garrett around for more.

You will hear longer than he should've all he was the head Klapper in charge.

Yes, and not from playing you never going to get a quality coach and Mayor because quality coaches don't want to be having a look over their shoulder at the owner/GM they want to make this vision. They want to be decisive in the best coaches in the NFL are decisive and you got somebody else written on your lap on your you got a new company L why would anybody want to go there all the rumors about Sean Payton going over to the cowboys something like only cowboys you think you will Jerry Jones fit on his shoulder told him what to do so would shoulder because don't you put this in there like a devil on one shoulder and his leg and an angel on the other side while yeah and the angel on the other side would be what I may not even know. Maybe there is no angel over there playoff game in 25 years.

Okay, let's not call the Jerry Jones dove.

Let's not nice Kyle's not nice Kyle. Kyle disappeared.

I wonder what happens.

Will got snatched up 855-2124 CBS tray is calling from Myrtle Beach. I know that's at South Carolina your CBS sports radio every man that her college bearing even before it ironic that news broke which just put a nail in the coffin. I wasn't looking bored at all for one reason, get Jerry down the ball say that the guy would've drafted great trap pro bowlers. We drafted all of St. Mary's market where great when you like going on.

We drafted talent. We've we've even hired coaches and let them do their thing to a point. And that's where it stopped. We don't let the coaches get involved with the personnel and that's the problem you're going to get the guys there. It can get the talent but that's work and he doesn't like the coach molded into something useful and and that's the problem that's working. Not a great GM integrate owner break GM but he's terrible like the coach put it all together and even with all that being said, the number one reason why the cowboys are going anything is number four… Ouch any cowboys thank you think that guys an elite quarterback needs to be have their head examined. I don't think it so much and thank you Troy I will think is so much about Dr. Prescott being elites whose runaround: DAC in elite quarterback. He's good. He can be very good but elite Nike eight. The air when he's not the biggest issue.

The biggest issue is the man who owns the team and this is the this is these the part that sucks.

He's an excellent businessman. He's an excellent marketer. He's an excellent sales man, but for running the football team. He ate excellent that I'm sorry, that's Jerry Jones.

He's not and I don't think there will be a point in time unless he just gets real real real old and realizes he can no longer really, really do it that someone comes over and takes over the team. It ain't happening and that sucks welcome to another year with the cowboys won't do a damn thing the JR sport re-show on CBS sports radio.

We will get to America's other team will get to the Los Angeles Lakers, I'm to take more. Your calls will get into Arun Donald swinging helmets like he's in a videogame unit here. Arun Donald was trying to bust heads today and practice your Shawna bust heads of the bangles you're the team they beat the Super Bowl I'll explain, I'll get some more your calls. 855-2124 CBS are you listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio caller might want to know that I appreciate your candor Coley now with 855-2124 CBS all I can do is bring my candor and my honesty and realism. I try I try a lot 855-2124 CBS is 855-2124 CBS take more your calls as we continue on with the show will talk about Arun Donald, the destroyer, but he was trying to whip some as in practice today against the Cincinnati Bengals will get into the Lebron James situation. I guess I could go with the Los Angeles Lakers situations it's their teen writers of the Braunstein Patrick Beverly is now on the team and he sat up quite a few words for Russell Westbrook over the years. They got a quite a few words for themselves and shut homegrown man broke his foot basically and a meaningless summer league game or not. Even some illegal pro-am and always done before we move on to any of that.

We've been talking about the Dallas Cowboys another year of being okay and going nowhere and it's unfortunate Mike McCarthy will coach this team and maybe they'll go to the playoffs and be eliminated in and what we do and start again next year with the same crap.

I feel like the Dallas Cowboys are doomed as an overall not specifically this season they can have a winning record record that they can win nine and 10 games they can win the NFC East. But who's looking at the cowboys going to championship nobody. Robert is calling from Portland your CBS sports radio family, your appreciating my time capsule, but I'm a lifelong cowboy family microphone the coming back night you get me three. I cleaned all the good in all the bad and all the bad he would be under Jerry Jones that's neither here nor there right now were talking about the Cowboys this year to get Becker back in the division that make them better from it, but most of the best you you I do love the talking head think the Eagle to be the one when the East but the best Québec division when the division and that the cowboys now beyond that side of anything yet correct. That's not saying a lot. When the division is not all that competitive in the first place know exactly how my point. I'm not a big my big DAC man I'm I was a big coney fan. In fact, held by get your guy back to the car because I get everything was like I let's get them out the booth all the great booth is wises but the cowboys have a clear mean defensively. I figure I think underrated but often preventing their overrated. I think that Jack is made to fit the number one donation for what to three weeks and then eat them and tell and I see the cat. We do not exactly the same way will be the best FEMA Emily for two or three weeks and then back will choke yeah I know the NFC yeah but I think lot they correct it is.

It's not saying a lot of anything.

I think this Dallas Cowboys squad with DAC at the helm, and I know they gave him a new contract. 40 per starting the season so go for broke his ankle after he broke his ankle that that's that's not enough, Dalton is calling from Topeka, Kansas. Your CBS sports radio.

The JR sport re-show like a Dalton where the hell you at Berger's microscope in Buffalo. Your CBS sports radio and all Mike Buffalo and big fan. I think the cowboys have a very very hard. Can't that even when he is in my opinion with Philadelphia. Give them a run for their money and even all of those fan and I was a fan of Brian Gable here is doing some work with the many times over in New York and they got some weapons and you got accuracy problem, but Ellie help Josh L with fathers thoughts daily vineyard zones will get the boot. When he sucks and is less likely to happen so I went to get Sue up in arms about that. You're absolutely correct. I agree, but cowboys just don't have the weapons to compete in the playoffs to ragged hungry yet they don't have the LCD Lamb goes down there Don that there Don will LCD Lamb already. She's already coming off of an injury. I mean, well Dan what oil resources do year started coming off of an injury chances calling from Portland Oregon got a chance. That's money here about her affect her my bare I understand you want to get you know good people love to talk about the Work of the rated go up I get there, not respect. You have been a very beautiful long, not really affect the cowboys very well.

I like NFL clean, but you know you have a small cut on his foot. You know where the hell are you yeah… This is my job where the hell you at work but I'm trying a city where the small current. Cowboys 112.

Last year, which was a big improvement from the year before that. The printer got better under the old Alanna coach.

His name is Paul Martin Marty Hurt have to see that his name is Dan. His name is Dan Quinn the case of lawn is in shambles right now.

Things are meant to back Martin though.

Yet he's on the right side is the only God is all All-Pro yet will send you this is this more than him on the offense of line. It takes a ugly but pretty good because we got directly who can jump in and rookies. Rookies typically don't jump in offense long lines 1st round offense of lines.

Take time to gel your garbage.

You have not heard an emotional chance to save both of us and sought that you actually hear the totality of everything I said did you hear the fact that I said they'd likely and probably will have a winning record. Did you hear me say that there probably will in the NFC East have not heard about the wind will did you hear everything that I said you look at everything and I come in and so the cowboy season. I'll ask you this, in your opinion, they conclude where I've agreed to play our game.

All the great great great and it's a fight for everything to win a championship driver you know not really realistic art you you know that's not all of them will stop and listen to me very carefully because you came on the line talking nonsense came on the line talking about the Dallas Cowboys project ratings listen Dallas Cowboys project ratings because Jerry Jones does an excellent job marketing and selling scene. That's why were talking about them there, worth $8 billion, more than any other franchise on planet Earth and with that comes an expectation that they will win because that is what he has sold the team all but year after year after year. It's not surprising or shocking that things have started to wane. When it comes to them actually winning. They don't hit a wall man and nobody talking about them when in the damn thing this year. That's the point.

The JR sport re-show CPS portrayed
