00:00i have the great bobby belt bobby belt is an idiot don't make me take off my belt don't make
00:05me take
00:05off my belt we're not over to you bobby are the cowboys all buzz and no sting let's talk about
00:12here below the belt which is brought to you by window nation you should start it's only fair
00:17since i just grade your diamond calves teases now like instantly right after i give mine you should
00:23be grading mine and telling me if mine's okay i can start i just think that's accountability that
00:27we need to have with each other i'm fine with that uh okay so over at nfl.com they have
00:32which
00:33buzzy nfl teams should you believe in for 2026 and it says the bears and cowboys top their picks
00:40and so they had their editors and their writers weigh in a little bit on some of the buzzworthy
00:44teams that have been out there before i dive into their list i'm just curious who would you
00:51right now what teams do you think are like is there one specific i think you've had a call on
00:56this maybe it's on the wall i can't remember is there a team that stands out to you right now
00:59of
00:59like that's a dark horse like that could be a patriots that could be seahawks having an explosion
01:04this season is there a team that after this offseason you've looked at and thought all right i like what
01:09they're doing um i mean i like i do like what the cowboys are doing um that's a tough one
01:18i still say
01:19if you're wanting to try and spot a patriots type team which the qualification for that would have to be
01:25one of the worst teams in football and then they get to the super bowl so you're likely not going
01:29to get that but if there is a team that would do it i still think the saints make the
01:32most sense
01:33saints like i like the saints i i actually do i do really like what minnesota did i love the
01:39kyler yeah you were you've been a big fan of the kyler thing were you here when we talked about
01:43jj
01:43mccarthy and kyler are we out that day oh i was here for that yeah okay okay i can remember
01:49it's it's
01:55that you thought jj was going to be a failure because you didn't like jj the quarterback that's
01:58fine but i think that he'd be a bad leader well and like the thing with kyler too was like
02:02imagine
02:03when kyler first entered the nfl draft you remember how much damage he kept doing to himself in every
02:08interview oh yeah every time he'd sit down it was like like he did that awful one with dan patrick
02:12where he wouldn't talk he just wouldn't answer anything and it's like well what are you here for
02:16then dude why are you sitting here doing media if you're not going to answer any questions about
02:19anything but for it to go from that to now all of a sudden he's the dude that's in control
02:23and
02:24kevin o'connell's got a chance to kind of bring him back like rejuvenate him then yeah i think the
02:29vikings make a lot of sense i mean think about it this way at least two of these teams is
02:34going to
02:34miss the playoffs next year in the nfc cowboys eagles bears lions packers vikings
02:49rams niners seahawks yeah so that's that's nine teams
02:57only only only seven makes actually more three of them are going to miss right because you got to
03:01have a north a south champ so three of those teams are going to miss next year yep and i
03:09mean look
03:09minnesota might be the most likely even though i like what they've done i think they're kind of a
03:14dark horse but you're going to have to convince yourself that san france seattle rams bears lions
03:21packers eagles cowboys like the multiple teams are going to miss all right so i am going to give you
03:29these teams before i read the cowboys read-ups and we we talk about specifically how we view the
03:35cowboys right now the buzziest nfl teams i'm going to read you the non-cowboys teams that they listed
03:40and i just want to get your thoughts your reaction on where you view that team right now like how
03:46you
03:46perceive them do you view them as a team that can do damage do you think they've got upside this
03:50season do you think they can contend whatever it may be the first team they name here is ridiculous
03:54because they know one of the writers here named the rams it's like yeah the rams were thought to be
03:58the best team in football last year so i'm not including the rams on their list first name and this
04:03two people put this name down here your thoughts right now on the cincinnati bengals
04:08uh they have they have i would say done more to damage your trust in a time-tested
04:18core belief than any other team because you always said if your quarterback plays well
04:23you will make the postseason i know i've said that for years and then burrow was probably the
04:28first one you've ever seen play at an mvp level who could not get his team to win games he's
04:32the
04:32exception really and dak last year uh-huh um i like i like cincinnati a lot uh made a lot
04:40of moves
04:40on defense this year uh but i don't trust them because i don't trust the health of joe burrow
04:45and i don't trust they zach taylor's still there right i i don't trust that he knows how to do
04:52run
04:52a training camp because they never win in their first two games it's crazy they are they've done a
04:59lot to revamp the defense i i like them look at this mike greenberg right now words as we're
05:03talking about buzz the five teams with the best chance to win the super bowl he has the cowboys
05:06number five look at that i just you know that's i you know i don't know how you could say
05:12that
05:13well i do i'll tell you during the break you do too you know the answer yeah i know with
05:18them i
05:18did you well you know with greenie you know greenie has some friends over there so uh all right
05:24what's your point next name over there the baltimore ravens are you expecting a baltimore
05:28ravens bounce back uh everybody sounds back in terms of what i don't think they're getting the
05:33ravens that they've been for a decade i i think they'll i think they'll win the north i think
05:37they're going to be fine i think cincinnati could challenge them for the north i think they'll be
05:40fine i am more confident in their bounce back than i am kansas city the bears i love ben johnson
05:48i love caleb williams and finally and this is the one i still can't get i don't know why there
05:54have been so many people all over them the giants giants if you want to have long-term odds on
05:59them
05:59fine i understand it but this year people buying the hype is so odd to me they're a stock that
06:04you
06:04buy for several years down the road it just seems so odd that people are wanting to buy that much
06:09into it all right two of these riders picked the cowboys as their buzziest team that they think will
06:12actually follow through uh first was their digital content producer bobby konak he said i ask with much
06:19trepidation is this the cowboys year after giving up the most points in the league in 2025 dallas
06:24completely rebuilt its defense swinging trades for players like rashaun gary and d winners and using
06:28two first round picks on that side of the ball taking caleb downs and malachi lawrence the cowboys
06:32also nabbed an important eagles coach christian parker to serve as their defensive coordinator with
06:36a potent offense and finally a mostly drama free offseason a turnaround feels imminent you go further
06:42down the list further down the list you've got genaro felice who said you can't have a discussion
06:47about teams generating buzz without the cowboys okay to be fair jerry jones hype factor has been
06:51more reserved than usual this offseason but i'm still here gassing up the cowboys because lucy's
06:55holding the football imploring me to kick why hitch my wagon to the star i can point to the offensive
07:00firepower or extol the defensive overall i i could also just admit that i fall for the dallas delusion
07:05every few years but frankly this isn't entirely about the cowboys themselves i think the nfc east is there
07:10for the taking and i think that's the big thing right now nobody trusts philadelphia it doesn't feel like
07:15no i don't think you should because i don't trust the quarterback it's uh i don't trust their
07:20makeup now they have big dom they have big dom they have big dom i trust howie i trust big
07:27dom i trust
07:29sirianni to an extent not not with his necessarily running his own life i almost wonder if i know i
07:36mentioned this at the end of the year and sean was starting to go like don't you dare don't you
07:39dare
07:39do it but i am starting to wonder a little bit like are we going to look back more fondly
07:45or more
07:45favorably and give more credit to sirianni in retrospect than we did in the moment because like are we
07:51going to get out of it and realize oh he was holding together a cancer locker room and then not
07:59letting
07:59a lot of it get out i mean they like tomlin the way we shifted on tomlin in a lot
08:05of ways when we
08:06see oh he kept the antonio brown thing quiet for years i mean look nobody believes in their
08:12quarterback right yet they constantly are going to the super bowl well yeah they believed in him i
08:21think the first time they went and then the next time it was just they were leaning on barkley
08:24yeah but like they can't you the quarterback can't be a bum and the coach also be a bad coach
08:35and they still win um i don't think that can happen sure i i mean i'll just counter with one
08:43thing
08:43though if the coach is not calling either side of the ball though could you you could say couldn't
08:48you just say the coordinators maybe not are bums like fangio and kellen were not bums they knew what
08:53they were doing um you know i don't i don't know i i don't i don't think that you have
08:58to be you call
09:00something to be a great coach no i don't either but i'm just saying like in terms of we don't
09:04know
09:04what sirianni does we just don't and then now i do think again we never asked this question with
09:11you know name what did bill parcells do i think everybody i mean he was kind of lording over the
09:19defense but he was he at belichick oh no you're talking about that i'm talking about here i think
09:24you're talking about when he was in dallas in his career oh yeah yeah yeah um no i think that
09:27they
09:27were collaborative i think they they were shared genius on that defense side belichick would call
09:33it obviously but they built during the but yeah no i i think in general most of the coaches who
09:42are not calling plays have a very domineering in control presence about them like you know jimmy
09:48whoever it may be yeah we'll have a presence of like that guy's clearly in control sirianni doesn't
09:53give that off sirianni gives off a lot of times like they're having to keep him reined in
09:57yeah they do take on his personnel and so that's where i wonder sometimes but i like i said it
10:01may
10:01just be that he is a master at a lot of people can't handle philadelphia and he does so i
10:07mean it
10:08may be that we look back on that at one point and look at it favorably but all that to
10:11say on this
10:12topic of of the cowboys and them being able to meet their buzz and this is obviously
10:17on the heels of all the news we heard yesterday or the news you would have heard live on 105
10:21through
10:22the fan as it broke on knc masterpiece and then later in the afternoon gbag talking about the
10:26aj brown deal but aj brown leaving the the division miles garrett now incoming to the conference and
10:31going to the rams that's obviously going to shift the power dynamic a little bit but you know the buzz
10:36is only about to grow louder because we got otas this week we'll be out there thursday on the cowboys
10:41george pickens apparently not there yesterday uh and then which i mean it's voluntary you wouldn't
10:47expect it to be necessarily um but you've got the the otas playing out and then we're going to be
10:53into training camp and it's going to kick into high gear as soon as we're out there in those practices
10:58and i think people start seeing the way that christian parker's operating and the way that
11:03you know caleb downs is having an impact and it's going to be into full overdrive the cowboys are going
11:08to have a lot of expectations to live up to by the time the rhetoric is
11:10you know caleb downs is going to be a little bit more than just a little bit more than just
11:10a little bit more than just a little bit more than just a little bit more than just a little
