1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for a break?

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,119

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys Break. Another episode that it's that was supposed to

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: be happening at a golf course today when the Cowboys

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: host their annual golf tournament, but it is pouring in

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: the DFW area, so that's kind of I'm not sure

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: if there's gonna be a show happening later today or not.

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a golf tournament later here, but there's

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: still something that will happen over there with the media.

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Jason Garrett, maybe a couple of

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: players will talk. But in the meantime, welcome Brian brought

Speaker 1: here with us. How are you doing? He? I like

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: the there we go, there we go. Ready to talk

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: some football, Yeah, of course, always that's life. Football is

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: life all right, let's start with some questions and then

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: we'll have about we'll get into some interesting stuff that

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: you are doing here with the Cowboys in some camps

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: that are gonna be happening in the near future. First

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: of all, I wanted to talk about we're here. Yeah,

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: it's okay. Wasn't your name mentioned in the intro? That's

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: a great point. We got a special intro for you.

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: Good point. Alright, has it been accurate in like the

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: last three months, because we haven't all four been together,

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: so I couldn't forget about that, all right? Sorry, go ahead.

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: DeMarcus ware he's a guy that obviously has been very

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: close with the Cowboys special even last year he came

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: in a few times, helped DeMarcus Lawrence help the d

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: line coaching stuff. He he talked about him wanting to

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: be involved a little more this year and coming in

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: a couple of days of weeks and instructing the teams,

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: and one of the things that he said was how

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: he feels that this team has what it takes basically

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: to get it done this year. And that made me think.

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: There have been several people that have come out this

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: offseason mentioning or expressing that same feeling towards this twenty

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: nineteen Cowboys team, and I wanted to get your insight. Obviously,

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm one, I'm one of the first to hate to

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: start talking about Super Bowl this early in the year.

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: But you've been here for many years, You've watched the teams,

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see, how does this team talent

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: wise and mentality wise, feel any different from any of

47
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: the other years. The difference for me is the other

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: years that were Super Bowl contending teams, I think you

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: felt a little bit more confident at the quarterback position

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: with from an experienced standpoint, but I do think this

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: is this is a really good football team. And I

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of people forget that part because it's like, well,

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: they didn't draft him, or they lost here in the

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: playoffs all that. But when you think about balanced teams,

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: to have a really good running game, a good offensive line,

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: probably great offensive line. They got playmaker receiver, got got

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: veterans that are coming back into this like Frederick and Witton.

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Defense is young and fast and good. I think this

59
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: is a really really good football team that came compete.

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I really appreciate this situation that we're in because my

61
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: opinion doesn't matter. The ownership has kind of set the

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: tone for what the expectations are by not renewing Jason

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: Garrett's contract. That kind of says everything you need to

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: say right there. This is a talented football team. They

65
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: need to make the playoffs. They need to make a

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs probably for this to be considered

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: a successful season. If that wasn't the case, Jason Garrett

68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: would probably have a new deal even go back. So

69
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I think most people would probably say even though the

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen Cowboys win thirteen and three, I think most

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: fans would say the twenty fourteen team is the best

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: team that they've had in recent memory, like in this

73
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: iteration in the Jason Garrett era of the Cowboys. Is

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: that fair to see? Yeah, you know, Dad's I would

75
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: think the sixteen team. I think the sixteen team, to

76
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: go to Nick's point, to win at Green Bay, to

77
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: win at Pittsburgh with a rookie quarterback really good. But

78
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: but I think people have more faith in the quarterback

79
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: to pick things up when things weren't going well. I

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: thought you were going the right path the way you

81
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: were talking, well, let me, let me, let me when

82
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: you started this out, I thought you were letting the

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: right path. Let me continue down that path. Then I

84
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: got distracted. Point being, I think most people would say

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen is the best team of Jason Garrett's tenure.

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Expectations for that team were not good. They were actually

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: really bad. Like Jerry Jones, who's the eternal optimists, said

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: before the season started, like we know we got an

89
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: uphill battle, Like he basically was like, we might not

90
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: be very good after years of getting his butt kicked

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: predicting super well. And then you know, they're one debatable

92
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: call away from the NFC Championship game, and I know

93
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay would have got the balling way shut up,

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Point being is the expectations for this

95
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: team are high and should be high. Like where's the

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: flaw on this team? I guess the coaching staff? Oh,

97
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of like how I started this thing off. Well,

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: now this is where No, this is because I'm not

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: saying just because I'm a critical of Jason Garrett, but

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Nick just described and I think we all agree it

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: is a very talented team. It's a very deep team.

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: What do we know about Kellen Moore? That's the thing.

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's and when I talk about coaching, I'm

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: not just trying to pile on Jason Garrett like I

105
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: do every day. But I'm just trying to say, if

106
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: we understand what Christopher Shard now, if if Kellen Moore

107
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: has the same results that say that we had from

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Chris rah Shard, I think you'd have to be pretty

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: happy this team might be on the way up. If

110
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has as good as an impact as Christopher

111
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Shard did in his first year, this team should at

112
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: least be playing now now Nicks Knicks analysis and your analysis.

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure Danny's gonna say the same thing about the team.

114
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: The talent maybe won't. What is Danny gonna say? No'm

115
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: saying it's interesting, but I'm gonna say this, though I

116
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: thought you were going down the path, I don't know

117
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: what Kellen Moore is. I have people tell me what

118
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is, but I don't know what Kellen Moore is.

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: He could come in here and he could work his

120
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: magic just like christ Shard did. And this was a

121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: top ten defense, top ten scoring defense. You know, it's

122
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: just till the bitter end they got run over by

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: two teams that are really good offensively. But I think

124
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: the biggest question about this team is not the talent

125
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: or the quarterback or anybody else. It's the coaching staff.

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: And came Kellen Moore, And let's let's be honest too,

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Mark Colombo, you know, halfway through the season, right coming in.

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm interested. I think the thing that could

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: hold this team back is if you if they're if

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: they're they start off initially and Kellen Moore doesn't hit

131
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the ground running, then that talented team could very well

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: have some problems. You know, we asked Danny to come

133
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: on the show and talk a little bit about the

134
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: camps and all of a sudden like we'll get to them.

135
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you know, I'm not one of those

136
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: guys that likes to go Super Bowl, uh, you know

137
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: before the season starts. So I think, yeah, right, I

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: think the team is talented. I like what you said

139
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: about the coaching staff, but I think that we have

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: to understand that it's Kellen Moore and John Kittner that yeah,

141
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: that or the question marks. And I played with John

142
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: kitten so I do have faith in him to pick

143
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: things up if it doesn't start well. For for Kellen

144
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and I think he saved the season. I mean he

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: got he got Jason Garrett's job. Help. Yeah, five and

146
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: three down the stretch, he got him his job. Yeah,

147
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, so yeah, I believe he can do it.

148
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: And the questions only But you don't know Kellen Moore.

149
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't know Kellen Moore. But I know that I

150
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: know the leader that Kittney is. Yeah, and I know

151
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: that he will be in Kellen Moore's ear and there'll

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: be he have a lot of imprints on that. On

153
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: the offense. I don't give Danny enough credit for how

154
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: old he is, Like, yeah, you did play with John Kittner,

155
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: Damn man, that was ten years ago. You know one,

156
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: I just made thirty one in March football not football football.

157
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: But no, you know, are you just say what are you?

158
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about? Because to me, we always

159
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: talk about the talent on this team. We all feel

160
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: like they're doing the right things. I think, where are

161
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: the questions? Where are the where are the true questions

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: of this team? You think they could you think they

163
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: would want to upgrade safety? We don't need to go

164
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: down that questions. I got some questions for other than that.

165
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean Yeah, the rest of it is really on

166
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. It's like, look around, Okay, it's the NFL.

167
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Somebody that's supposed to be good is going to be bad,

168
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and somebody we're not talking about it's gonna be good.

169
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Happens every single year. But like looking around the NFC

170
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: right now, you got to say, this is one of

171
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: the five best rosters in the conference, Saints, and that's

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: why the pressures on That's why the pressures on Jason Cowboys.

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: I think that's to your point, absolutely, that's why they

174
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: didn't extend him that That's exactly my points. The expectation

175
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: has been set for me. I don't have to have

176
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: my own expect When when we say coaching staff too,

177
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: I think we need to point out that, I mean,

178
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: there is a question about well there is in my mind.

179
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what other people think. I really like

180
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, but I don't about to pay him, I

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: hope you know. But I'm saying, is the coaching staff

182
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: better make him into the type of player that he

183
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: needs to be. He can't just go out there and

184
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball around like like Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

185
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: He's not that type of player. They've got to make

186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: sure he's the guy that's running flipping over, getting them

187
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: third and five and getting those six yards and getting

188
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: him on the move and making him be the type

189
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: of player he can be if they're going to pay him.

190
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: All that money goes back to Kellen Mortal goes back

191
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff. That's when I say coaching staff,

192
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: they've got to put they got to be Dak friendly.

193
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: Forget the other guys around there. They got to make

194
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: sure that Dad can be the type of player he

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: needs to be and that stand him in the pocket

196
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: and make him throws. They're gonna lose games that way

197
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: because there's coordinators that will outsmart the other team and

198
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: then that the Cowboys by doing that. In my opinion,

199
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: and it's very rare when you see that the talent

200
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: is able to surpass everything that the coaching staff is

201
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: about you. When you talk about the talent, there's there's

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: very few cases where you have just a group that's

203
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: so talented that they will just make it happens however

204
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, there's sometimes though, there will be talent

205
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: that overcomes bad coaching. Right, There's sometimes that happens that

206
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: no matter it's very rare. But if you do have

207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the type of team that no matter you know, what

208
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: situation the coaches put him in, the players will find

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: a way to win. Ninety four could very well be. Yeah,

210
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's not that's not that No, you're not,

211
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: but you're being very honest. There will be people that

212
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: give that those teams. That's those are Jimmy Johnson built teams.

213
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: And they're saying despite Switzer's inability to really understand the

214
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: pro game, that he benefit from a very talent into roster.

215
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: What happens different that people can benefit around the area

216
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: and have kids that want to be involved some camps

217
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are going to be hosting. Yeah, so

218
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: we have our camps coming up and then so these

219
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: little guys that we coach will hopefully one day be

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: some of the guys that are being talked about on

221
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: this podcast. So we have three day camps starting June third,

222
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: and they run all the way through August seventh and

223
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: first through seventh grade. And we get these guys in

224
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: here and they're coached by former NFL players, me being

225
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: a former Cowboys player. And on the third day, we

226
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: have a current Dallas cowboy player come out and speak

227
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: to the kids. So we have great drills, great great teaching,

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: great learning, learning experience for the kids, boys and girls,

229
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: Boys and girls. We also do cheerleading camps, so those

230
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: girls who want to come out and cheer for their

231
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: brothers and their friends, we have that as well. And

232
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: the boys and girls for football as well. Boys and

233
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: girls for football, Boys and girls for chi leading. Okay,

234
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: this is happening at the Star. Yeah, eight camps at

235
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: the Star. We have four at the stadium and one

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: at the Baylor Sports Performance Center which is directly next door.

237
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: How'd you getting hooked up in this? I mean, I

238
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: know you when what was your last year playing? Two

239
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: years ago? Fifteen? He was a Benz watcher of TV. Yes, yes,

240
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: we'll bring him back to do Game of Throw. It's

241
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: another time, right. We could talk about this all day. Um,

242
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: So I retired, Well, I didn't get called back, and

243
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: then I sit at home for a little bit, and

244
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: I figured I need to go back to school. I

245
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: get my NBA and I get my MBA, and I

246
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: started applying for jobs. And I'm realizing that the football

247
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: resume is a little it's a little shallow, it's a

248
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: little didn't have enough stuff on there. So I apply

249
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: for an internship to go work an office. They called me,

250
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: they accept me, and I go there for six months

251
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: and I learned a little bit of the ins and

252
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: out sort of other corporate field of things. And I

253
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: come back and I'm still sitting at home, like I

254
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: have no idea what I want to do. I've done

255
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: all this and I still have no idea. So I

256
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: reach out to a few people here at the Cowboys

257
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. Danny went, kid, did you

258
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: ever go to camps? Did you ever go to football camps? Went?

259
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: I went to a few football camps. I'm from Houston, right,

260
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: we're in Our football camps were at the middle school

261
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: in high school. So it wasn't NFL players coming back

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: our teams. It was our coaches saying, Hey, the campus

263
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: at school and you need to be there. But you

264
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: have a vision for your camps of what you want

265
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: these kids to learn. I mean, your experienced only it's

266
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: an NFL player, but your only experiences at camp. You

267
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: want to make this fun for these kids, but you

268
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: also want these kids to get something out of it though, right,

269
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's really the whole idea. So we

270
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: do drill skills and education for us. And so what

271
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: we do is we want to one we their first

272
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: dough seventh grade, right, so we want to make sure

273
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: they're having fun. Right. Kids like to compete. They do

274
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: like to compete. They want to compete, whether it's racing

275
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: each other, they like to compete. So we put the

276
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: competition aspect in it. We teach them a little bit

277
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: about sleep and education and New Trician and then we

278
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: let them get out there and compete for a flag

279
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: football trophy that is a replica of a Super Bowl trophy.

280
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: So they get photo ops and they get them on stage.

281
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: And where was this for me? Yeah? Yeah, I could

282
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: have done something with my life athletically. You know. Now,

283
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: I doubt that we have many mothers listening to this.

284
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, But for those mothers and women that

285
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: are concerned about kids playing football and the safety of

286
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: their kids, how do you guys do this? Is it?

287
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: What kind of football is it? How much contact is there? So?

288
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: How safe are the kids to go out there and

289
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: compete if it's a kid that hasn't done it before?

290
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: So so one over, I believe like the last eight years.

291
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Flag football has become the biggest growing sport in the nation. Right,

292
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: so the right parents are worried about the kids getting hurt,

293
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: so they're starting to let them start off in flag

294
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: football six man football, So we incorporate flag football and

295
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: those type of drills into our camps. Our camps are

296
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: non contact, so they won't be tackling each other, they

297
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: won't be hitting each other, so there's no risk of

298
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: that at our camps. Our skills also translate into it

299
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: if you have a kid who just is interested in

300
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: the football but not really sure if that's what they

301
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: really want to do, and the soccer player, our drills

302
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: translating into soccer, basketball. Pretty much any sport. You can

303
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: get quicker, faster, and better any sport by coming our camps.

304
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: But if you have like a big lineman that is

305
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: a sophomore in high school and he's thinking I could

306
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: go and play Division one football, there's camps for that.

386
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: We talked about camps, we talked about coaching staff in

387
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: the talent. Now I'll have another question. I know there

388
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: are are a lot of people out there that don't

389
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: really get to be around here obviously, and wonder about

390
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: people's dynamic like relationships, the environment, the dynamic, the energy,

391
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: the players being on the same track as long as

392
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: with the coaching supporting Jason Garrett. How is that? Did

393
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: they get upset? Is there some traction there happening? And

394
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about that whole locker room environment.

395
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Obviously we haven't had the chance to be in there

396
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: this year yet, but it's happening soon. But we know

397
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: most of the veteran guys it's pretty much the same.

398
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the dynamic around the locker

399
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: rooms and the players and their relationship between the coaching staff.

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: If you've got a social media account, you don't need

401
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: me to tell you. I mean, the stuff this team

402
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: does between itself is pretty unbelievable. I mean, they all

403
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: went to Duke together, Like what was that a week

404
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, two weeks ago. Yeah, right, it's fret

405
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: for the draft. It's and you know, Jason Garrett's got

406
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: like a leadership council. It's like, I mean, it's it

407
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: feels like it's like half the team. But I mean

408
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: the team's you know, like I said, look anywhere on

409
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: social media, the team, this team's leaders. Basically they're starters.

410
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: They go everywhere together. They went. They all flew up

411
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: to Duke together. They they went to a shooting range

412
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: with like a Navy Seal team a couple of weeks ago.

413
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: You know, they went to Dirk Nowitzki's retirement. They they

414
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: go to Stars games. They're all always here together. I mean,

415
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: the whole team has been going through the offseason program.

416
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it would be unrealistic to think

417
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: that they're all just best friends all the time. But like,

418
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: this team clearly has a very strong bond that you

419
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: don't and they addy that often. And they added a

420
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: guy back from the broadcast Spooth. Yeah, that was a

421
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: big locker room guy, you know, with with I'll be

422
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: interested to see twenty basically new names. If you think

423
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: about this off season with the draft picks, the undrafted

424
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: free agents, and then look at the guys they added

425
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: in free agency on those one year deals. Think about

426
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: that as your team as you're talking about building and

427
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: going forward, twenty new personalities, you know, as we get

428
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: ready for camp and so you're better have some guys.

429
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: Is it really that many? Okay? Do you think about it?

430
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: The got an eighth person draft class. As person draft class.

431
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: How many they add in free in the free agency.

432
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: You brought in Quinn or five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

433
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: thirteen undrafted You're right, wow, yeah, you got undrafted, so

434
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: you added twenty something bodies new bodies to this. I'm

435
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: not trying to you know, you don't want to write

436
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: anybody off. But like the majority of the guys that

437
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: are definitely gonna make the fifty three are not in

438
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: their faces. It gonna be hard for these rookies to

439
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: make this team. Yeah, this is a young team that

440
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: was talented already, so I mean there will be I

441
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: mean some undrafted guys are always are, and Brian's done.

442
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of report on all of them if concludes today.

443
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just gonna it's gonna be hard

444
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: to make it. When you think about backup corners of

445
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: that are already you know, Anthony Brown and Jordan Lewis.

446
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's not gonna be easy for a guy

447
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: to come in and be better than that. So but

448
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. It's a good thing to answer

449
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: your question though, I mean from my perspective, I mean,

450
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: this all sounds good, and the guys that are you know,

451
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: having some some good you know, camaraderie right now, all great,

452
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: but you know when the bullets start flying at the end,

453
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and during the games and all that kind

454
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: of stuff, who how do they how do they you

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: know act then? You know? Or is there a finger

456
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: pointing and stuff like that? Like it all sounds good

457
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: now and I think it's it's going well, but when

458
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: it really goes gets down to it, you know, this

459
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: team's got to be able to to you know, handle

460
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: adversity on the field and stuff like that. They didn't

461
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: do a good job with it in the Rams game,

462
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: and there's been times this year when that didn't happen.

463
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: So this is good. It's a good start, but I'm

464
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, the end result obviously is the

465
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing. You're absolutely right, and no two teams are

466
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: the same. But this team was staring at three and

467
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: five and didn't do that. I mean, what's a bigger

468
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: adversity than that. We thought the coaching staff was gone,

469
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: definitely didn't think they were making the playoffs trade though

470
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: it took Stevens, But that that's We're not that's relevant

471
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: to this conversation. I'm just talking about the character of

472
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: the locker room. Well, there were a few things that

473
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: popped up with the Wide Receiver group. You know, you

474
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: had like, oh, comments on maybe Alan Hearns made or

475
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Cole Beastley and things kind of you hear whispers around

476
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: dude's gone right ro and and I know Alan Hearns,

477
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, he was vaguely critical of Scotland Han's offense,

478
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: but like he wasn't a from Scott has gone as well.

479
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't a problem child by any stretch of the imagination.

480
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he made those comments after a game and

481
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: then like three days later everybody bombarded him with follow

482
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: ups and he was like, well, yeah, like I didn't

483
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: mean it in a bad way. That's just what happened,

484
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, Like Alan Hearns is like like, do not

485
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: confuse that guy with some sort of diva Like that's

486
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: just the opposite of the case. So and we don't

487
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: really have any deep right now. So which you know,

488
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: to previous three years, you had several guys who I

489
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: don't know it's not but who it's every year, this

490
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: is what one thing I have noticed. You always think, oh,

491
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: that was the hell of a drop. He knew exactly

492
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: what he was doing. Well, no, no, I mean whatever,

493
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: whether it's Taco Charlton, whether it's somebody else, I'll steal

494
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: the words right out of Knick's mouth. I've done I've

495
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: done this long enough to know that there will always

496
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: be a guy. Yeah, there's like when one guy leaves,

497
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: another guy replaces him. Maybe he's not happy with his contract,

498
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's not happy with his playing time, maybe he's

499
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: not what happy, but not happy about with the narrative

500
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: in the media about him. There will always be that guy. Ratliff,

501
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: that guy became that guy. DeMarco Murray was that guy

502
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: for a while. But there's always there's always that guy,

503
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: and he'll be there in twenty nineteen. But and that's

504
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: my point. You know, great they go to they're going

505
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: to duke together. That's awesome. It doesn't necessarily mean anything.

506
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: But I still think the character of this locker is

507
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: incredibly strong and the important factors of it are not

508
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: going anywhere. I mean, you mentioned you mentioned Marie Cooper trade.

509
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: I think Marie Cooper is great for this locker room.

510
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Zeke and Dak have taken ownership of it in a

511
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: way that I wasn't sure was possible. I was actually

512
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: writing about that yesterday. I remember talking to him in December,

513
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: no Zeke, and he was like, well, you know, it's

514
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: not like I set out to become this leader, but

515
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: like guys like Witt and Dez leave and you don't

516
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: really have a choice. And I know Jason Witten's back,

517
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: but I think the steps that Zeke has taken to

518
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: take ownership of this team are you know, he's not

519
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: taken a backseat to Jason Witten just because Jason Witten's back.

520
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: I don't think could a Marie's contract be something that

521
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: gets in the way of this locker room? You know, well,

522
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: I was about to say this before you said that.

523
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm so glad the laws contract got

524
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: done because I could see that was going down that

525
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: path because why wasn't it get done and he was

526
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: holding off on doing the surgery and that wasn't looking good.

527
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: And then there's going to start to be columns written

528
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: about him, and then let's see how he reacts, because

529
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: that's what happens these guys who react to media. You know,

530
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: that's critical. So we'll see what happens with a Maori.

531
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think it'll get to that

532
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: point for a while here. I mean I think that

533
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna I think the contract will be done before

534
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: the before the start of the season. Honestly, I just

535
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: Dax or a Maris. I think, as I think Mari

536
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: has to get done that you don't make the trade

537
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: if you're not going to sign huntil long term. He

538
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: kept saying he's twenty four. He's twenty four, Well you

539
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: better signed him then, So that's gonna happen. I don't

540
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: think there's a I don't know if there's a standoff

541
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: here or not. I don't think it's Also, I gotta

542
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: see that in Amari Cooper's temperament to believe it, Like

543
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: that's just that's not his style. Even what you went

544
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: to the Mudbug bash two weeks ago and he was like,

545
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about it because like they've gone

546
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: out of their way to make it known that they

547
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: intend on paying me. So like, I just assume it's

548
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna get done, Like he didn't sound disgruntled two weeks ago.

549
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: And I would have to assume that it goes a

550
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: lot further than it is right now. Before he would

551
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: get disgruntled. I think I think these reports were hearing

552
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: about premature, like disappointment and offers being high and all.

553
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: I think that's way way, you know, again premature, and

554
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have seen this before because I remember, wait,

555
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: this is a different era, but still Tony Romo was

556
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: when he had about ten good games in two thousand

557
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: and six, and then now he's the starter two thousand

558
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: and seven, So he's only he just kind of came

559
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: out of nowhere and his initial offered on his new

560
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: deal was higher than what Peyton Manning was making right then,

561
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning had just won the Super Bowl, and

562
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: so you know, the Cowboys like, okay, that's where we

563
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: start and this is it and then they find a

564
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: middle grown So yeah, his agent might just be saying

565
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: he can find some way in the numbers to say

566
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: he is better than Julio Jones or Antonio Brown or

567
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: who is the highest paid receiver. Uh it's back up now,

568
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: isn't that probably gonna be Julio? I mean he asked

569
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. Yeah, but I mean, you know,

570
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: he's up in there and the top five to eight,

571
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: I think, and he'll get paid that way. I think

572
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: so too. In personality wise, he doesn't seem like one

573
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: that would have made any problem. No, no, but that

574
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: exactly I think about I think we kind of really

575
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: you think, well, that's kind of what we said. I mean,

576
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: those guys do develop. I don't think he's not gonna

577
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Himar's going to develop into that. I

578
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: would have to see it to believe it. It just

579
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't been even. I mean, you know, even in Oakland,

580
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: when things weren't going well for him, you weren't reading

581
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: or hearing a ton about Sure, but that's what I'm saying.

582
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: Though they came to the point there where they made

583
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: the trade. You know, we didn't hear about anything, but

584
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: they did make the trade. I think Oakland, I mean,

585
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: they did the same thing with Khalil Mack too, Like

586
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: I think that's I think you heard more from Mac

587
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: than you did from but you didn't even Khalil Mack

588
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: didn't make a stink either. He just didn't report, which

589
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: players do that all the time. And I think the

590
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: whole Cooper thing was we've heard, well, he doesn't love football.

591
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: People say that about he loves football. People say that

592
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: about guys that that aren't or quiet, Yeah, that are quiet,

593
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't love football just because he's not ray

594
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: Lewis rah Raw until something, I mean until something happens

595
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: to change my mind. I think that's just more about

596
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: John Gruden trying to get his guys. Sure. I hope

597
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: the other two contracts don't become an issue though, and

598
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they will. But you talked about the leaders, right,

599
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: is that you know Zeke and Deck and then those

600
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: two guys do need contracts. So if it if it

601
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: does drag out there and then those guys have to

602
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: make decisions that are smart for them, that's where it

603
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: could be an issue. Hopefully none of that happens. It's

604
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot to consider. Stephen Jones said last week, I mean,

605
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, Zeke is the straw that stirs our drink.

606
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: He called him a priority to resign. He also said, well,

607
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe we're not talking about it as much because we've

608
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: got two years to get it done. I wonder if

609
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: Zeke here's that and he's like, do you do you

610
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: let me let me just say this. I don't know,

611
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, before anybody freaks out, it's just me think

612
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: on my show, there's you know the Cowboys are open

613
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: for business. If people want to come talk about these contracts. Yeah,

614
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: I didn't get that, you know, because I said, I

615
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: asked a couple of guys that said, well, is there

616
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: now a priority? Is it? Dak? Is it? How's you?

617
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: How do you? And they're like, nah, you want to

618
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: come in? You know the music's playing. Don't get left

619
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: without a chair, you know, don't don't. Don't be the guy.

620
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you're gonna be the last

621
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: one in, then you might not get all the money

622
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: you absolutely want. But it sound like to me they've

623
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: got the open sign and they're ready. If if these

624
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: if these agents want to deal with him right now.

625
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean they proved that they're willing to deal with you.

626
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: They did it with with Lawrence and just things. Don't

627
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: be the last guy waiting for a chair before the roster, Yeah,

628
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: before the roster goes down to fifty three. I just

629
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be covering one to two more extensions.

630
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: That's how That's why I think getting on the plane

631
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: that twenty fifth of July, there'll probably be something. Yeah,

632
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: there'll be one more scrambling around packing a pack in

633
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: the box. Now Zike has done absolutely everything that you

634
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: can think of or dream of about a play or

635
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: what you would want to look at it. Everything he's

636
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: done this offseason, he's been on the headlines. I knew

637
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: everything has been about goods stuff. The only one that

638
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: popped up, yes, knock on wood. The only one was like,

639
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: well is he fat? Now? Look at him? He shut

640
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: that up really quick, showing a picture of himself but

641
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: his position himself better than anybody. And I could not

642
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: imagine how this would go further than a year from now.

643
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: I do not envy them for having to figure this

644
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: out because arguably the best running back in football, who

645
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: deserves a pay raise, one of the ten best receivers

646
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: in football, who needs more years on his contract, and

647
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: maybe not. You know, there's an argument on Twitter this morning. No,

648
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's not one of the five best quarterbacks in

649
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, but he is a quarterback capable of getting

650
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: you three winning records and two playoff appearances, and he

651
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: needs more years on his contract too. I don't I

652
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know how you figure that out. Anything I could

653
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: question you, guess that's typically what you do if you

654
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: were if you're the front off this and you're doing

655
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: these contracts, would you worry about what you talked about

656
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: in the first segment of the coach's job hanging in

657
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: the balance that if you're extending guys that some coach

658
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: might not want. I'm not saying a coach wouldn't want

659
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: to coach Zeke, but maybe he doesn't feel as good

660
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: about Dak. Yeah, well then he then he can't get

661
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: an He wouldn't he wouldn't get this job, wouldn't get

662
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: this job. Jerry's like, you love Dak? Right, Well, okay, thanks,

663
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: you know we tried see you later. Okay. Do you

664
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: do you limit yourself to maybe the type of coach

665
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get? That that's true? You know, do you

666
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: go back? You put your do you honestly that you have?

667
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: You put yourself hand yourself in a corner. Having Dak

668
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: Prescott makes me feel better about the coach that I

669
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: would get because that's the way this league is going.

670
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: The coach that wants Dak Prescott is the coach that

671
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: understands how to run that type of offense. Like Cliff

672
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Kingsbury could design an offense for Dak Prescott. And maybe

673
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: that's a bad example because we don't know how good

674
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: he is yet, or Sean McVay maybe you know, maybe

675
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, maybe Dak's not his ideal quarter, but like

676
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: he can't design plays for Dak. Oh, and I think

677
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: I can't get this. I think I know where Brian's

678
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: really going here, but I don't know ahead Well, I mean,

679
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't really want to say it, but let's say

680
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: there's a coach for another team right now, that that's

681
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: a really successful coach from another team that's won super

682
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: Bowls and stuff like that, that maybe it's been listening trouble. No,

683
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but but maybe that he wouldn't be

684
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 1: Dack's top product. Anybody if you're if you're it's easy,

685
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: I think, to extend the defensive guys because you kind

686
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: of could you know, you can you can either three

687
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: four or fourth three. You can work with that stuff.

688
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: Tell that's a John Gruden. He just shipped off the

689
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: best pass rusher in the league. Sure. Oh no, I

690
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to pay him though, that was his deal.

691
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty much how the league works. So I'm just

692
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though, if you're a front office, would

693
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: you you know, now you're and again, people, I don't

694
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: think it's adapting to Zeke because I think Zeke can

695
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: adapt anything you want to do. It's Dak that I

696
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: would worry about if I was paying him thirty million dollars.

697
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: And you saw, you saw what happened the Arizona Cardinals.

698
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: Did you coach to walked in there and said, listen,

699
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: you picked that guy in the top ten. I can't

700
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: play with him. Can't play with that cat. Gotta have

701
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: my own cat. What do we do? We use the

702
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: first overall pick for a quarterback that nobody really is

703
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: like totally in love with. But again, I said, if

704
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: you're a good enough coach. I think if you fin

705
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: yourself a good enough coach, you can make it happen

706
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: with a player like Dak Prescott. In him, You've seen

707
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: make plays. You just needed a coaching better. Hey, Ambar,

708
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: I'd like to hire you for this job as a

709
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: head coach to Dallas Cowboys. It comes with a couple parameters.

710
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hire your defensive coaching staff for you, and

711
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm also going to make you play with Dak Prescott.

712
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: You interested? Yes, quarterback? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah that work? Yeah,

713
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: let's go sign Okay, I don't see the problem. Okay,

714
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: Nick's right, that's gonna be the first question, and are

715
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: you going to limit yourself again? We saw a coach

716
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: who had a not a successful college record get a

717
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: head coaching job and come in and completely change the

718
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: direction of a franchise firmly, I said, firmly on the

719
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: on the Draft show, like that's on Arizona's GM, And

720
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm confused as to why that guy. What that changed

721
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: the direction? Cowboys didn't just spend a top ten pick

722
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. They've got their guy like they did.

723
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: Think that schizophrenia is what that is, is to put

724
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: a defensive coach in charge of drafting a top ten quarterback,

725
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: fire him a year later, and then completely reverse course

726
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: like they don't know what they're doing. And maybe they're

727
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: going in the right way. Right now, we'll see how

728
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is. This team has designed its roster a

729
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: certain way. And like I said, in this day and age,

730
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: where Kyler Murray's going number one overall, you can't find

731
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: a good coach who can coach Dak Prescott. Would you

732
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: get the best coach if you've just joined us. In

733
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: the last ten minutes, and you know, Jason Garrett has

734
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: not been fired. Seriously, you just joined it and you

735
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: listened about the new coach and stuff like that, like no, no,

736
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. Jason Garrett cut his teeth with Tony Romo

737
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: and Scott Linahan, spanned a healthy chunk of his career

738
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: with Matt Stafford, who are completely different quarterbacks than Dak,

739
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: and they made it work well enough to have three

740
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: straight winning seasons and go to the playoffs twice working

741
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: with a guy that maybe wasn't what they really wanted

742
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: to be working with. And even despite all the complaints

743
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: about how much the offense needed to be changed, they

744
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: still went to the playoffs twice and won a playoff game.

745
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: That's a good points. You can't go find a guy

746
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: who knows how to work with this type of quarterback.

747
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe you don't trust on your own coaching

748
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: abilities if you're a coach, which Nick Nick I'll I

749
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: reluctant team. Why couldn't they? You said, schizophrenia. Why couldn't

750
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: the guy then in Arizona play with that quarterback? He

751
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: probably could have? Why why couldn't he He probably could

752
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: could have, but he saw an opportunity to get a

753
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: guy whose tailor made for what he wants to do.

754
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: And he says, why did you bring me here if

755
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: not to help me out? Well, they brought him here

756
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: just try and get the quarterback they drafted. He was hired.

757
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,479
Speaker 1: Do you know that? Oh? I have an idea. Sure.

758
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean he was hired before Murray. He was hired

759
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: on December thirty. First, he was hired way before Mary.

760
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: He was hired because Pat Mahomes went crazy in the

761
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: NFL absolutely, and so it's like, you know, if you can,

762
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: you can recruit that guy. And his best friend is

763
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: widely considered the best young coach in the league. Mcvasho.

764
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: They're buddies. You know. I hate not being able to

765
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: know whether or not we've seen Dak reach his full

766
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: potential or not, you know, because that's what gives us

767
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: something to talk to him now. Three years Huh, why

768
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: why do you act like that bothers you? No, No,

769
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying everybody's kind of your face. I am listener. Well,

770
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: let's say this about it. I mean, he was a

771
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: late fourth round pick and so he's been way better

772
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: than people thought. So I think you got to give

773
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: somebodies credit here, there's definitely credit there. Let's go through

774
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: all the top ten picks who were like completely polished

775
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: products after three years. Mahomes, Oh yeah, great, awesome. Mahomes

776
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: is a beast. Sure name the other ones because Tom

777
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: Brady was pretty good. I'll have a break to discuss them. Yeah, okay,

819
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: people to know is that Brian does this on purpose.

820
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: It's not true, David, he loves, he loves, loves. He

821
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: has some interesting, maybe controversial question I got some questions

822
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: for your cats. All right, you ready for this first one? Guys? Yeah,

823
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: who's the one player that you'd like to throw a

824
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: lifeline too? Can you elaborate what you mean by that?

825
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not being a smart but like what

826
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: you're playing, a game will trouble on the shrost or

827
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: maybe you know, is there a player you had you'd

828
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: like to throw a lifeline too? Did he make sure

829
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: that he's still around? He's he looks like he could

830
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: be drowning. Yeah, looks like he could be drowning. This

831
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: is a movie or the final round of Who Wants

832
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: to Be a Man to be a Millionaire? Life? Yeah,

833
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: oh life. I was thinking like I was thinking like Jaws,

834
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: like lifeline. You want to throw a lifeline too? Oh?

835
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Que up the drop do it? I was thinking that too.

836
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, I think he needs a lifeline.

837
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr, I'm not ready. I'm I'm play all the

838
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: drops here. Maybe I'm maybe I'm being naive. I'm not

839
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: ready to think that a first round pick is in

840
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: danger heading into his third year. And I know that

841
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: the defensive line depth chart is pretty loaded jokes, but

842
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: what happened last year it was very concerning. I mean

843
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't have was healthy point and

844
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: was still not playing. This is to make the team, yea,

845
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: And I will Will McClay, you know, Mlle McClay did

846
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: his media tour, he came on our show, he did

847
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: all the media in the DFW area after the draft.

848
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: But he said, you know, he was like, you know,

849
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: I want Tacco to go out there and compete and

850
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, prove that he deserves to be on the roster.

851
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: But we're not going to hold the train for anybody,

852
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: which that's a telling quote. I'll throw one out to

853
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: that tight end he can he can rebound it. Rico. Yeah, yeah,

854
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: I mean why not. Oh did you guys have a

855
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: how about that? No, we didn't ask no, no, but

856
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: would have been good. Yeah, that's a good that's a um. Oh.

857
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: How about my guy Jordan Jordan Lewis. Yeah, may, I mean,

858
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: that's just that's just selfish on my part because I

859
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: like him. I mean, Jordan Lewis was a guy I

860
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: was thinking of. Yeah, I mean, I know you guys

861
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: are ever seeing a taco and stuff and I kind

862
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: of think, I know what taco is, you know, because

863
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: I kind of saw that at Michigan. So you're writing

864
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: him off. I saw Late Bloomer in Michigan. The other

865
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: player at Michigan was a better player. Jordan Lewis a

866
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: better player, and Jordan Lewis, for eight snaps against the

867
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: Saints proved to me that some way, somehow he needs

868
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: to find a way on the field if he can.

869
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: That's a guy would throw a lifeline too, because I

870
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: think people once again are going to go into the

871
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: season not maybe not in this room. I know you

872
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: like Jordan Lewis. Yeah, yeah, But I think that that

873
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: was the direction I was. I just submitted the answer.

874
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: Or he's in a screwy situation because they're gonna they're

875
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna take the field for the first practice in Oxnard

876
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: and he's gonna look like me with all the other

877
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: corners that they have, which is to say he's short,

878
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: um and I just I wonder how he fits in

879
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: what Richard wants to do. He'll be taught, but where

880
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: if you have the talent, you have it and it'll

881
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: it'll come out there on the field. I just like

882
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: that you answered it. Usually you throw out these questions

883
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: that one about to how about this one? Could Sean

884
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: Lee outplay Layton Vanderish or Jalen Smith this year? What

885
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of question is that at his new position? Just

886
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: can he outplay? Can he can he? Can he force

887
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: his way? I mean, he's they're talking. I talked to

888
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: Rod Murnelli. He says he's gonna play him at SAM linebacker,

889
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: But could could it be instead of having a limited role,

890
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: could he outplay Jalen or vander Esh and get his

891
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: starting role back as as a SAM or assume as

892
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: a will or the mic and the fact that they're

893
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: moving him to Sam suggests no, because if they thought

894
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: that that was a realistic possibility, wouldn't they just have

895
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: a competition for the will job. Keep an eye on that, Okay,

896
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it would get to that. I think

897
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: he will definitely be able to contribute on the field

898
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: and make some plays and stuff. But as far as

899
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: I'll playing those two guys, I don't think so. I

900
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: don't need to. I think I think these are your

901
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: two guys that are you know, young, fast, strong, ready

902
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: to go durable. No, his his instincts are gonna try

903
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: to get myself in trouble with the locker room here.

904
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: But his instincts, I mean, his instincts will give him

905
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: a hell of a leg up, you know. And have

906
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: you seen him lately, Yeah, it looks good. He's very

907
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: bulked up, ready to play Sam. But I just it's

908
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: arguably the most physical position in football, and his competition

909
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: is twenty two and twenty three. Yeah, so that gives

910
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: me pause. So I don't think so. But I mean

911
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm not completely willing to bet against it. I think so,

912
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: because if you I think he's gonna go out there

913
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: and try and beat one of those guys out I

914
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: think he'll play that. You know they're gonna playhim at

915
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: all three spots probably or probably two of the spots,

916
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: the Will and the and the Sam. But if he's think,

917
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: if he's playing well enough and it's like, okay, well

918
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: is he doing, maybe maybe he'd get a sophomore slump

919
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: from Banderesh. I'm not predicting it, but what if what

920
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: if he comes in the second year and all of

921
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, Well you talk about the instincts and stuff,

922
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: which I'll say what I said, but you're right about

923
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: the health, Nick, that's a big question. He already had

924
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: the whole retiring thing in his head. I mean, I'm

925
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I talked about during this offseason that was

926
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: a question, and obviously he decided to stay here. They

927
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: reworked his contract, and he's healthy, he's doing well. But

928
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: we know how the story goes. And when you start

929
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: thinking that way, and I say that keeping in mind

930
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: still the kind of passion that she only has for

931
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: this game, that it's bigger than anyone I've ever met,

932
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this whole building or he said they reworked

933
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: this contract. I mean Did they rework it or is

934
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: it like one of those you know, fourth July car

935
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: sales or they just slashed you know, yeah, rework sounds better.

936
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: This is a problem when you're talking about quarterback. It's

937
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: not a problem for linebacker. You're gonna need more than

938
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: two to make it through the season. Three to play. Two.

939
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: Feed Zeke or rest zeek. Feed Zeke. I'm allowed to

940
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: whisper um feed him or arrest him. No, feed him

941
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: on this three meals, but don't let him snack all day.

942
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: He needs on the couch right feeling full. He doesn't

943
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: eat all day long, but he eats three strong meals.

944
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: And then when when you think about he needs a snack,

945
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: then give the ball to Mike Wever or Tony Pollard.

946
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: He needs a backup who's capable of playing every has

947
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: that narrative changed in the year, but no, But I'm

948
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: still like, I'm gonna think about it. But we're in

949
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: a year we were all like, oh if god, you know, man,

950
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: you're never gonna take him off to feel keep giving

951
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: the ball, give him the ball, get it. Now we're

952
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: at the point where it's like, man, we had better

953
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: find somebody to back that up. Don't we. I still

954
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: feel that way, like all things being equal, he should

955
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: be out there because everyone has that feeling when Rod

956
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: Smith would go in the game would be like, oh yeah,

957
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: not only that, but and they probably still will with

958
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: whoever he's offered. Morris too, he's a warrior. But how

959
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: how many games did it look like his ankle was

960
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: dinged or his knee was ding Oh? He was not

961
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: as quick as he had been in the past, right,

962
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: and you need a guy who can viably shoulder some

963
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: of that load. But I mean, if he's healthy and fresh,

964
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: then I want him on the field. That's I didn't

965
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: even hesitate feed him if he's healthy to be fed. Agree.

966
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: I mean, poor guy. You see him coming off the

967
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: field last year and you can just feel for him

968
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: and how tired his again, amazing talent. He has so

969
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: much power that he was still able to come back

970
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: and play and keep going and keep going. But I

971
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys can benefit a lot more if they

972
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: have a going to be That's an interesting narrative with

973
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I said this already in the spring.

974
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: It sounds great. Paul Pollard is your kind of do

975
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: everything guy. He's he's got some real juice. He's a

976
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: home run hitter, he's a receiver. And Webber, you know

977
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: they had a higher grade on him than where they

978
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: got him. Right in reality, they drafted Switzer in the

979
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: fourth round and couldn't do anything with him. They traded

980
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: for Tavon Austin, couldn't do anything with him, and Darius Jackson,

981
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: who has six NFL carries to his name, was drafted

982
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: higher than Mike Webber. So you can't tell me right

983
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: now now that they definitely upgraded the position. Maybe they did.

984
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: I hope they did. They think they did, but we'll see.

985
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: That's how I feel. See Kellen Moore, let's see, speaking

986
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: of Kellen Moore. First thing you're going to look for

987
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore this year, honestly the first just move

988
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: people around, priests like I miss I don't miss Lucky Whitehead,

989
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: but I miss what he did. You know, I miss

990
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: that element. I missed the missdirection like the Rams. You know,

991
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: that was the last game we got to watch. And

992
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: that's what stands out in your head is you know

993
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: you set up C. J. Anderson all day and then

994
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: when the game's on the line, you do the wide

995
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: receiver into round to pick up the first down or

996
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback runs for the first down to kill the game.

997
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: Give me that. That's the thing, and like that's something.

998
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: What he's talking about is something you can see in

999
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: training camp. What I'm talking about something we'll see in

1000
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: the first game, and that's Dak running the ball. We

1001
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,919
Speaker 1: won't see it at any point in preseason and when

1002
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: we shouldn't, but I want to when it's there to

1003
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: run the ball and some of those misdirections where he

1004
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, design reads for design runs for him. I

1005
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: just want to see him a little bit more with

1006
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: the ball, but we won't see that until we get

1007
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: to the season. So have fun, have fun. This is

1008
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: a young team, Yes, have fun, have fun, have fun

1009
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: on the field. Obviously being smart about it. By that

1010
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: what I mean by that ball is still fun. Yes,

1011
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: it's very fun. No, nothing about this fun fun. You

1012
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: have a young team. Just be creative, get out there,

1013
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: try different things. Obviously, you have enough time to get prepared,

1014
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: you have training camp, you have preseason to plan everything

1015
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: out when you go out there, don't keep that same

1016
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: old mentality that the team has kept for years. Just

1017
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: go out there, try new things and have fun. Because

1018
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: he will just happen. Don't be predictable. That's it. It

1019
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: sounds great. One year contract on the line. He's like,

1020
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,240
Speaker 1: well we had fun, Yeah, we had fun getting fired. Yeah.

1021
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: Only one season I've covered would I describe as fun,

1022
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: And it was when they won eleven games in a row. Yeah. Well,

1023
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: I say, don't like when you go out there by

1024
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: that what I'm trying to say, don't don't keep repeating

1025
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: the same play Everyone knew what was going to happen. Oh,

1026
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: here we go again, Here we go again. If you're

1027
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: having have fun with it, get creative, have fun with

1028
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: the playbook. Let's get creative here. Let's try new things

1029
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: and let's make some magic happen. I absolutely know what

1030
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: you meant. I just you know people, I mean, you

1031
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,919
Speaker 1: know players later are like man, football stops being fun,

1032
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: like when you get to college, and it only gets

1033
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: less fun as you go. So, hey, if you did

1034
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: the same thing every day at your job, it wouldn't

1035
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: be fun. I hear you right now. You try different things,

1036
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: then it keeps the job funs this front office going

1037
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: to regret not drafting a safety at the second round

1038
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: this year. That's tough because, like you know, one Thornhill's

1039
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna make like this amazing play for the Chiefs

1040
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: at some point this season, pointed on Twitter. Why you

1041
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: know it happens every year? I mean, t J. Watton,

1042
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton, everybody knows. But like, I don't know, are

1043
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: they are they not going to accomplish their goals this

1044
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: year because of what a safety drafted at fifty eight

1045
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: would be doing. It's it's possible, is of course it's possible.

1046
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: Layton vander Esh nobody thought he'd be a pro bowler,

1047
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't really think so. I mean,

1048
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, when when you think about Tyrone Crawford's contract

1049
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: and and Antoine Woods is going to be a new

1050
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: contract coming up, and and I you know, not having

1051
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: David Irving, I just think that was I mean, I again,

1052
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: I was all about wan Thorne Hill. But I know

1053
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: why they did or I think I know why they

1054
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: did that. So they want to just keep those defensive

1055
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, those tacks. They had their choice of guys,

1056
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, they really did. They had their choice. They

1057
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: they have just never put a high priority on safety

1058
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: like like we all have. They just haven't clearly right

1059
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: right and not I mean yeah, it's not the situation

1060
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: as it is is not good enough. But like I said,

1061
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't think wan Thorne

1062
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: Hill's gonna maybe be the difference. Maybe they think it,

1063
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: they will regret it. I don't think they would. Even

1064
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: if they do, they thinking Savior Woods has hung the moon,

1065
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 1: they could regret it on day five of training camp.

1066
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: They could regret it, and they'll never tell us. So

1067
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But they'll never tell us, just like

1068
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: they say, well, we don't need a number one receiver

1069
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: until they actually until they make a trade for the

1070
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah. True, More likely a third quarterback or

1071
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: a fourth tight end. Oh that's a good question, um,

1072
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: because if you're talking about a team, it's extremely deep.

1073
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: Oh this is that getting down to the fifty third spot,

1074
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: four tight end or four third quarter, fourth tight end.

1075
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't need a third quarterback anymore because Mike White

1076
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: is my backup. And if he's not my backup, he's

1077
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: not better than Cooper Rush, then I'm not I don't

1078
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 1: want him anymore. That's just me. Sorry. I don't think

1079
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,479
Speaker 1: he got some You don't need three quarterbacks, not those three.

1080
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: That's tough because like these are not the are not

1081
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: black and white situations, like you're talking about the most

1082
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: important position in the game. And then a very special

1083
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: case in Rico gathers where like does his resume justify

1084
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: the roster spot? No, but does he have this undeniable

1085
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: talent that a lot of players don't? Then maybe does

1086
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: he have the favor of the general manager a little bit? Yes?

1087
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know. That's tough. He still has it.

1088
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: That's why I mean, I'm working for false you don't

1089
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, I don't think he has it anymore.

1090
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fill him the lifeline if you all right, well,

1091
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,479
Speaker 1: in that case, then I'd say the third quarterback, these

1092
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: three or somebody else some accounts still out there floating around.

1093
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: You guys act like like, oh, no, I love Mike.

1094
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: If it's not my wife, you need one that's not

1095
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: one of them. I don't need them both. You guys

1096
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: act like you don't know this coaching staff, Like that's

1097
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: that's exactly the type of thing. I don't know the

1098
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He's feels like I don't need these two.

1099
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: Then Garrett will be like, ah, Cooper's like me, we're

1100
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 1: keeping him. That's what he'll say, well, and Kellen's like, well,

1101
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: who do you think wins that battle for the backup job?

1102
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: Then between those two they want or they both just flame.

1103
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: They want Mike White too, but I think Cooper Rush

1104
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: will just no one did anything memorable. See that's what

1105
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: bothered me so much about Mike wa Know, you were

1106
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: this time last year and he was gonna take Cooper's job.

1107
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: And I absolutely believed it with my heart that he

1108
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: was gonna that he was going to be better. And

1109
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: and Cooper Rush played his way. He put Kellen Moore

1110
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: into coaching if you think about it. Yeah, you know,

1111
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,479
Speaker 1: he basically played, well, they okay, killing by, We're gonna

1112
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: make this guy the backup. That's why he's gotta need him. Well,

1113
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Cooper Rush was I mean two years ago, he

1114
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: had one of the best preseasons of any quarterback in

1115
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, and so all of a sudden, now

1116
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, but neither one of them played worth a

1117
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: damn in the preseason, and that I think that's why

1118
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: you had to keep two because they both were so

1119
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: just block. They got some badass undrafted offensive lineman this year,

1120
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: so maybe they can keep him upright and let us

1121
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: get Colombo did say that. He said, you know, these

1122
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: third and fourth quarters of these preseason games, Yeah, so showers.

1123
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: I just think they'll both be here, and maybe I'll

1124
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: be wrong. I'm wrong about a lot of stuff. So

1125
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: you're going with three tight ends? No, yeah, yeah, three

1126
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: tight ends. You said Rico, You threw him a right

1127
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: still until they cut cut Rico. I mean, I still

1128
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: think he'll be a part of it too, So I

1129
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: think he he'll have a shot. I don't I don't

1130
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: doubt it's gonna happen, but I would cut one of

1131
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and see the possibility of bringing someone else

1132
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: in as a backup with more experience. Quarterback, Yeah yeah, quarterback.

1133
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: Um as far as Rico, I mean, I thought that

1134
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: was over last year, but it wasn't. So you were

1135
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: not throwing him a lifeline. You were pushing his head

1136
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: under the water. I'm gonna limit my comments right now.

1137
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna do that too. We just have a show.

1138
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: Well the time. I don't probably regret what I was

1139
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: about to say, so I'm not gonna say it. Okay,
