We just got 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.000 to get you guys to build upon them. 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.240 Right. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.840 I've been the Wrestledmania like that was a lot of fun. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.480 That's huge. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.320 Yeah, it was awesome. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:08.120 Yeah. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.000 It was the one where stone Cold Steve Austin came 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.520 back from from retirement and made things happen. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:15.040 It was awesome. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.960 Yeah, which might happen at this WrestleMania as well. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.639 Who knows who knows. I like it wrestling talk in 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.040 the off season at the. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.480 Diversity of North Texas. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.160 Baby, So he retired and unretired like eight times. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:27.880 Yeah, pretty much. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.800 That's how wrestled wrestling twice it's like sixty five. 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.360 It looks like we wrestling. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.720 So, uh, there's one guy that has retired and he 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:37.720 will stay retired. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.320 I think Zach Martin. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.320 His whole announcement and celebration is scheduled for tomorrow, So 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.760 we'll have some more on that next week as he 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.800 kind of wraps up and ties the bow on what 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.720 was a phenomenal career. That's one news and note to 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.440 get to. But that's not the only one. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.600 It's not because Daredevil comes out today. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:00.280 Okay, all right, just honoring Frank Castle Daredevil. There you go. Yeah, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.000 that whole situation. So let's talk osa Odiggie Zua. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.840 Okay, So talk about or Mail. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:07.960 Yeah, talk about rumor mail. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.280 It's been hot and it's been heavy, and uh the 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.359 Cowboys have been fighting tooth and nail to try to 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.160 get a long term extension done with Osodiggie Zula for 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.680 the better part of a week now. They started up 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.520 in Indianapolis early last week where Tommy began kicking some 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.239 major ass up there and I love it. I was 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.519 able to join Nick Eatman and I were able to 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.720 join Tommy on Wednesday, and we you know, boots on 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.080 the ground there with Tommy really got to dig into 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.520 what was going on with the situation with OSA, and 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.480 every single day they got more and more traction toward 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.760 getting a potential long term deal done. I actually believe 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.120 and I know Tommy is with me as well on this. Uh, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.200 there was a good, a strong feeling that the deal 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.120 would have been done by the end of next week. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.720 That's how much progress they were making on a daily 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.040 basis end of last week last week. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.920 So we've still got time here, wish well maybe kind 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.080 of kind of, which goes to the next point. Yeah, Okay, So. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:10.640 Today being Tuesday, March fourth, this is the deadline day 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.360 four franchise tags to be a plot by the to 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.080 the NFL. They have to be filed by four pm 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.920 Eastern time. So they're up against it right now. Make 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.000 some more leeway on yesterday, or headway on yesterday, I 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.279 should say, but the franchise tag still looms. The Cowboys 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.240 are not and I repeat not going to let Osodiggie 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.560 Zoo Wu hit the open market. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.200 They're not going to do it either way. Either way 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.560 he will be in a deal or there will be 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:35.840 a tag. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.640 There will be a deal or there will be a tag. Now, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.520 in the event, and right now, for those that like 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:41.040 to play the. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.040 Eyes, you got about five hours until that day. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.920 And it is still as we woke up this morning, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.960 it is still fifty to fifty. It could go either way. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.040 A deal could land while we're sitting here having this 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.279 conversation about a deal. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.839 And that's been the case since Friday. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.039 That's what I mean, like, it's that's how close this 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.440 has been. It is imminent, but nothing is agreed as 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.600 of yet. So in the event the franchise tag is applied, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.039 I'm told it will be the exclusive franchise tag to 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.360 the tune of twenty five point one million dollars before 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:15.000 Cowboys fans twenty five point one million, the ones the 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.560 one year fully guaranteed for the one, the one, the one. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:19.400 Year, one year. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.239 Now. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.360 Cowboys hope that if it comes to that that it 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.080 will result in it being simply a placeholder and nothing more. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.680 Cowboys will still be able to negotiate a long term 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.200 deal all the way up and through the next deadline, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.720 which will be July fifteenth. If the Cowboys don't get 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.680 a deal done at that point, then the franchise tag 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.839 will lock in and OLSA will hit the open market 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.640 again next year. That being said, there's evidence towards that 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.240 because DeMarcus Lawrence, granted, was the second franchise tag. DeMarcus 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.080 Lawrence was tagged a month later they got a five 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.719 year deal done. Dak Prescott his second franchise tag, they 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:03.599 tagged him four hours later, four year deal, one hundred 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.440 and sixty million dollars. So there's a bit of a 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.720 precedent there. And I say that to say Cowboys will 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.920 continue to work toward a deal even if the franchise 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.200 tag lands because they need the cap space. They cannot 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.119 allow that twenty five point one million dollars to sit 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.280 there against them going into free agency. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:24.320 Now, just clarify for those that might be new to this. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.800 Whenever it comes to Osa, he doesn't want the tag either, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.600 even though it's guaranteed money and it's something upfront that 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.919 he would get the twenty five million, which is probably 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.719 more than he would get on average per year in 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.360 the long term deal. Because on his market values more 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.080 so around twenty to twenty three million, and I've seen 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.080 numbers kind of all the. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:45.919 Way across the board. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.160 I would probably say it's closer to the twenty than 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.159 the twenty three be correct, And so if you're talking 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.600 about market value and where he stands, average per year 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.520 would be lower than what the tag would be. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.120 However, he's more interested than the long term. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:06:59.480 Correct. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.520 He wants it's a twenty year or twenty per year 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.520 over the next three or four years down the line, 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.320 as opposed to just the twenty five years. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.960 And on the franchise side, really quickly, you're saying OsO 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.000 would not want that, but I think that goes to 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.160 any player, like the having a franchise house park is 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.760 not an ideal situation for most plays. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:18.840 It's betting on themselves. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.040 Tell me and I had a great conversation about this 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.600 whole thing yesterday as far as pros and cons for 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:29.520 both the tag versus the multi year contract franchise tag. Yes, 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.600 there's a situation where you have a fully guaranteed lump 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.800 sum twenty five point one million dollars. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.280 Bang right in your account. Got it? Okay, here's the problem. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.040 Knock on Wood. 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.560 What if you get injured, your your free market value 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.040 in the following off season season tanks because now all 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.440 these questions about will he be the same player? How 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:49.760 long will it take for him to get back on 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.160 the field. There is an inherent risk in the franchise tag, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.560 which is why players don't like it, even though the 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.560 guaranteed money is steering you in the face. Also, if 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.600 you take into account if you sign a multi year deal, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.560 presumably especially for Osa, the fully guaranteed money on the 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.760 new deal will be multiplied. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.080 Over this twenty five. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.440 So let's say, let's assume it's fifty million, just hypothetical, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.600 Let's assume it's fifty million guaranteed on the new deal. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.880 Wouldn't you rather fifty million guaranteed plus stability on a 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.840 four year contract versus a one year contract? 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:21.160 Right? 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:27.040 So to Kyle's point, Osa and no player Hey as 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.560 T Higgins, how he feels about a franchise tag. Not 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.760 all women fuzzy about it. So again, Osa doesn't want 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.320 it to doesn't want to be tagged. The Cowboys don't 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.560 want to tag him. Both sides want the deal to 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.400 get done, which is why there's been so much traction 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.880 in progress. Yeah, progress in toward getting that. But when 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.400 you're talking about a deal of this magnitude, you know, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.320 sometimes you know, it takes a little longer to tweak 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.800 and fine tune it to get it exactly where it 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.000 needs to be. I still have confidence that gets done, 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.640 that gets done today before the deadline. But fifty to fifty, 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.440 I say, as we have this conversation, and if it 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.280 is a tag situation again, I say to Cowboys fans, 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.720 I would be absolutely stunned if we're having this conversation 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.360 and training camp and he's still on the tag. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.120 Yeah, I'd agree with that sentiment. I think that, you know, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.760 when you look at this, you mentioned at the top 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.679 of the show, there's five hours to get an extension done. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.600 I don't think there needs to be any rush here. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.160 I don't think either side is in any side of 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.280 any kind of hurry to get this done because playing also, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.800 Digizu is going to be wearing a star on his 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.400 helmet next year, So it's just a matter of Okay, 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.360 how many more years is he going to be wearing 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.960 that star on his helmet and how much is he 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:34.640 going to get paid? 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.080 Look like you said, guys, the Cowboys. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.959 Don't want to pay twenty five point one million dollars. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.960 I also Diggy Zoo is a hell of a player, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.120 But if they want to be selectively aggressive and free agency, 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.680 they're going to have to have a pool of money 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.880 to where they can go out and get guys that 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.440 fit that mold. So I would guess, and this is 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.760 just a guess, that franchise tag gets applied today, and 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.600 we're in a Dak Prescott kind of situation where twenty 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.720 four hours from now we could be looking at an extinction. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.840 The good news is they've gotten until mid July. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.520 I think it's July fifteenth, at four pm Eastern time 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.679 to finalize an extension before that franchise tag officially goes 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.760 into place. So I don't think there's any hurry here. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.640 I don't think either side wants to rush into a 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.719 deal and make any kind of rash decisions. So I 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.200 would expect today the franchise tag gets placed on Odigiezu 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.160 and they get an extension. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.360 I think, really, I think the bigger thing is for 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.720 the Cowboys. They they're trying to get this done for 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.000 a couple of reasons. One, obviously, they want os in 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.720 the building for a long term but from an accounting standpoint, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.320 legal tampering starts on March tenth. You want to know 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.319 what your accounting looks like going into March tenth. You 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.760 need to know what your actual money is. Not Okay, well, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.960 we got this twenty five million against us, and maybe 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.360 that won't be the case come March thirteenth or March fourteenth. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:47.920 You don't want to have to play it that way. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.880 You want to clean accounting going into March tenth, saying 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.079 this is what we have, this is what we have 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:52.600 to work with. 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.280 Simply put, it buys you more time to get the 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.679 extension done and it takes the guess work out of 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.600 him being on a different team next season. It's not 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.439 going to have he will have a star in assignment, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.400 like you said. And I don't think anybody wants an 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.840 Anthony Spencer situation where he's on a franchise tag for 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:07.520 the next two years. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.800 Yeah, you know, because you could tag him again next year, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.600 but that number is only going to go up exactly, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.640 And kind of going back to what Tommy was saying, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.720 deadlines make deals. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.480 We hear that all the time. 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.480 The deal right here is he's he's back playing and 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.560 simple like you said, keep it simple. There, he's going 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.240 to be a Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle next year. But 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.920 because there's so much motion, just because they do place 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.199 the tag and because that is the placeholder, doesn't mean 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.160 we have to wait until July. It could happen, absolutely, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:36.719 and I. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.640 Think that I think, you know, we talk about the 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.920 deadline today for the franchise tag. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.600 I think the deadline for an extension is what. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.680 Patrick was talking about legal tampering, because you have got 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.680 to have a visual of what you have to work 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.440 with from a money perspective going into free agency, because 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.120 when you look at this team, there's only so many 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.360 spots you can fill in the draft. And this is 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800 a draft class that you know, when you look at 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.840 players from fifteen through maybe fifty, from what we're hearing 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.600 that you're kind of getting more or less the same guy. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.640 And even Will McLay told us at the Senior Bowl 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.840 that this is a class that is full of depth 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.320 pieces in terms of what these guys can provide to 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.680 a team. And the good news is that's exactly what 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.120 the Cowboys know they need to build around their stars. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.839 And Odicky Zoo I would consider to be one of 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.760 their better players and you could say he's a star 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.839 on the defensive side of the ball. So you've got 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.439 to get him in the boat before that legal tampering period, 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.120 so you can know how to mash the draft and 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.280 free agency. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.640 And to a point that you made yesterday when we 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.760 were speaking about the whole Osa situations, as well as 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.080 Osa has played for this Dallas Cowboys defense, regardless of 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.120 who the coordinator has been, there's a very real chance 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.880 that when you go back and you look, like, tell 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.600 me you told me yesterday, when you go back and 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.040 look at how Eberflus runs his schemes, there is a 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.920 really good chance that Osa explodes onto the scene in 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.640 twenty twenty five under met Ebraflu. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:55.480 So keep that in mind. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.800 The Cowboys are looking at the potential with him with 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.160 ebra flues as well as his contributions are. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.080 He's going to make twenty million a year, He's going 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.640 to have to produce. So as that's plain and simple 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.240 right now, you think of it, and you look at 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.920 him on the rookie contract as a third round pick, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.840 you say Osa overachieved. He did everything he needed to. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.800 He was a productive player. He did some things well, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.920 he did not do some things as well as across 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.160 the board. If you're getting paid twenty million dollars Osa Digizua, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.400 the pressure is going to go out. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.880 And I kind of want to figure it out, and 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.240 you want to know where his ceiling is. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.080 Yes, right, and good thing is I agree with Patrick here. 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.120 I think Matt Iberflus already has it in his head 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.760 that Osa is a key part of this defense. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.120 I could see he's already talked about pushing hands behind 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:38.760 getting this deep. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.040 He absolutely is, because in the past he has said 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.320 that the three technique defensive alignment is quote the engine 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.400 unquote of his defense. And so when you look back, 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.960 when you look back at his last three tech in Chicago, 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.160 Javon Dexter, there's a difference between the two. Dexter comes 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.640 in at six six three h twelve O Digi Zoo 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.280 is significantly smaller at six two to eighty. But when 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.160 you look at the name of the game for three techniques, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:06.200 it is quickness and explosiveness, and I think Odigi Zua 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.160 gives you a little bit more in that. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.360 Department, albeit his smaller stature. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.559 I think Dexter was, you know, maybe just not on 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.560 the right spot there in Chicago and they're thinking about 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.520 moving him around now. So if that's what you need 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.800 for this defense, and we know how good Mattyberflus's defense 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.280 when they're playing at their best, are at stopping the 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.440 run and taking the ball away, it starts up front, 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.160 and I think if you've got your three technique, and 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.080 it seems like they will, then you're looking at at 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.240 a year where OsO Dicky Zua can potentially be more 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:34.600 than what he's valued at. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:35.800 I'm excited for Osa. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:36.840 He's going to get the bag. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.440 He's earned the bag. He's been around. He's been as consistent. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.200 I know he's had flashes of greatness, but he's had 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.280 a consistent floor. When you look at the film, he's effective. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.080 It may not end up in sacks and pressures, but 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.640 he clogs the middle better than anybody else that's done 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.320 it for Dallas in the last six or seven years. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.160 So really excited for him. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.320 Now. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.040 I want to play a game with you guys, real fast. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:58.880 We like games. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.000 You've been studying up on the tag Cowboys have used 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.000 eleven franchise tags. Can you name all eleven of them 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.840 and what year they were knowing they were named? Okay, well, 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.200 the year is bonus points. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:10.520 I want to try to work backwards. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.440 Okay, all right, so you're working backwards, I'm gonna turn. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.440 My No, it wouldn't be fun if I cheated. Yeah, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.720 and all right. The last one I'll give you a 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:23.800 HND is in twenty twenty three. Well, Tony, there's one. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.600 Dolton Shots got it? Deak Prescott? Okay, so when I 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.280 say dek Prescott will kind of him as one. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:29.880 That's one. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.640 Okay, Yes, even though he was tagged twice. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.760 Yeah, I think I think it's either yeah, yeah, let me, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.400 I'll double check double okay, but yes, he was tagged twice. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.960 Okay. So Pollard, Shots, Prescott, DeMarcus Lawrence. 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.400 There you go. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:47.840 There's four. Oh, now you are one. Anthony Spencer. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.920 Got that one out of the way. Was he tagged once. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.960 Or twice Spencer or twice? Okay? 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:56.880 Trying to help you back to back? 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.800 Yeah, trying. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.720 We didn't tag them? Are cool? No? No? 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.880 No tag of DeMarco. If you're in the YouTube chat, 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:05.600 go and play along. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.800 I mean along. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.000 Yeah, you don't look at Let's see if they keep going. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.840 Didn't tag I've got it. We didn't tag this? Did we? 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.320 Did we tag it? Did we? 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:17.400 We? 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.520 Tagged it, we tagged, we tagged it, gave it away. Sorry, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:28.280 I was processing. Okay, you're missing how many two? Okay, 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.320 so there are it's eleven times use the tag. Yeah 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:31.960 I'm missing too. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:33.720 Well. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:41.080 Oh yeah, these are the two toughest one mm hmm. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.480 If you know it in the YouTube these gears, do 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:44.960 you know it? 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.000 No, Ida, you. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:46.320 Don't know it. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.800 But didn't tag Tony. I know that they were proactive 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:58.080 and signing to position linebacker and safety safety safety. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.240 That was the first time. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.880 Actually, I think he tagged us safety. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.719 That's the first one. Do you know you have it 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:05.600 in front of you. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.639 No, okay, I'm going to pass on safety. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.720 Kay Hamilton in two thousand, I would not have I 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.480 don't remember ham Hamlin or sorry Ken Hamblin. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.800 I don't know that I ran as a player.
