10
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys as March is here. It is March first,

11
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: and we have March madness to talk about. And I'm

12
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: not talking about college hoops. I'm talking about contracts because

13
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and the deadline, the countdown, all of it

14
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: is coming down to single digits, just a couple of

15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: days away, March ninth, the tag deadline to find out

16
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: whether or not Dak Prescott will be the Cowboys quarterback

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. And we're gonna talk about it here.

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm Talking Cowboys. Kyle Yeoman's, Isaiah stand Back, Rob Phillips

19
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and heck, Harrison has always the usual crue, Chris being

20
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: doing a great job from the stars always. But Rob,

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy. This has come down the pipe

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: for like the last two years, last two offseasons, and

23
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: now we're getting into the point where, well, it's do

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: or die for the Cowboys and for Dak Prescott over

25
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Would we have it any

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: other way? Could we have it any other way with

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott? Really? You know a lot of the Cowboys

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: deals come down to this. You know, Dez Bryant got

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: his deal done in twenty fifteen. It was mere hours

30
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: on July fifteenth before they got it done to avoid

31
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the tag. So you know, like you said, it's going

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: to come down to a matter of days. You know,

33
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: March ninth is the deadline for teams to last day

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: before they'd have to tag a franchise tag player. I

35
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: kind of look at it maybe more an extension of

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: March fifteenth, something like that, because you know, sure they'd

37
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: have to tag in by March ninth. If no deal,

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: it's a placeholder, they could keep talking. The biggest thing

39
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: would be to get it in place by the start

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: of free agency or by the start of the legal

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: window where you can start negotiating. They've got to create

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: some room. I think they understand that. The question is

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: can they get the deal done? But I was talking

44
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: to Dave Helmet about this, Isaiah, Heck, you know, we

45
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: can talk about the Cowboys free agents and things they

46
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: need to do and things they'd like to do, but

47
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: everything is tied to this deal because it all depends

48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: on what the cap hit will be on Dak's deal,

49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: whether it's the franchise tager. You know, hopefully you lower

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: it and give yourself some type of wiggle room. Isaiah,

51
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: how nerve wracking is this from a players standpoint? Whenever?

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: It does have a lot to do with the agents,

53
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: with the front office, with the team situation. I mean,

54
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: there's so many different factors that go into it. We've

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: hit it all before on this show in previous episodes.

56
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: But is there any kind of nerves whenever it comes

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: to a players standpoint, because you don't really know what

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: your future is going to look like. Man from dak standpoint,

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: I would say no. I mean, I really feel like

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Dak is in control of this situation. I think he

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: has the upper hand and this negotiating, these negotiations, and

62
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Cowboys necessarily like that. I

63
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: think that they're going to try to lean on the

64
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: fact that all you're hurt, we don't know if you're

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: gonna come back. I think he feels pretty confident that

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back healthy and if they want, they know,

67
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: I think that they know if they franchise tag him again,

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: he's not coming back. And that's a leverage that I

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: think that he has. He's one of the best quarterbacks

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: in the league. They sucked without him. He's getting healthy,

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: there's reports that he's getting Healthy's a he's a you know,

72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: the hands down leader of this organization. He is the

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: face of this organization. Without him, they have no direction, really,

74
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: So I think that he's in total under control of this.

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: So I don't think that he has any stress at all.

76
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: He's like, either I'm gonna get paid a lot of

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: money this year and then I'm a I'm a double

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: down next year, or they gotta take care of me

79
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: right now. So I think he's perfectly fine. He's focused.

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: He's probably over there just focused on his rehab hack.

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Well, I mean, I

82
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: think Dak is in the driver's seat. I agree with

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: Isaiah and what he's saying about it, but really the

84
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: franchise tag kind of doubles as an interim tag for

85
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: like interim coach, interim quarterback. All of those things are

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: not cultural building, right, And Isaiah, you've talked a lot

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: about the culture of the Cowboys and how do you

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: build that. It's really hard to build a around the

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: guy or guys to get behind him not knowing what

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: his future is gonna be. And if you think about,

91
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, the rumblings of other on other teams and

92
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: guys looking at Dak's situation. You know, a guy that's

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: a Day three pick that has worked his wi, pulled

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: himself up, and done it all the right way and

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: still not be rewarded. I think that's got to give

96
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: some guys, even within the organization pause. Why hasn't Dak

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: gotten played yet? What are the deals or parameters within

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: this contract negotiation that the team does not agree with

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: and the reason why we can't get it done. I mean,

100
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: I've finally gotten to the point where you know, I've

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: always been like, I think we're gonna get this done.

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna get this done. But lately I'm just feeling like,

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: even from both sides, no one has said anything. And

104
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: with all of the Russell Wilson talk and all the

105
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: trades and all those other things in other areas, it

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: just gives you pause because you don't know if this

107
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: is actually the priority or if the front office and

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: is looking already in a different direction. I think I've

109
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: gotten to the point where I'm pessimistic for the first

110
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: time about getting a deal done. I thought whenever the

111
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: season was over and we were talking about negotiating contracts,

112
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: I thought there was a chance you got it done

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: before March ninth. Now, like Rob said to start the show,

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: March ninth is a placeholder. It's not the be all,

115
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: end all in terms of Dak's contract. But right now

116
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look like it's gonna get done. And

117
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: if it does, it will get done right up on

118
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the deadline, prior to the tag deadline, which is March ninth.

119
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: But I still think the Cowboys will end up tagging

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And that's just based on my own thought,

121
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: my own feeling going into But I'm like fifty fifty Kyle,

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm well, I mean, well, I mean, I think the

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: number of days is not very large, so and we're

124
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: going off with two years, so I don't know how

125
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: you can really feel confident about it. To your point,

126
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: that being said, I think it does sound like the

127
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to get it done. I I do believe that.

128
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: I assume Dax wants to get it done, get that

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: type of security, and so I think especially from the

130
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys perspective, I just mentioned, Look, thirty seven point seven

131
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: million dollars to carry on your cap going into free agency.

132
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: They would love to avoid that. Now, can they figure

133
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: it out in eight days or do they need a

134
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: little bit more time. I'm kind of with you, Kyle,

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: like I just I gotta see it at this point.

136
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: But I rob if they don't haven't figured out by now,

137
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: then there's art. There's that argument too. I mean, it

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: has been two years. Yeah, they can't. They can't franchise

139
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: take him. I hear you, I hear you, both of

140
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: you guys, But they cannot. They can't avoid that. This

141
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: deal has to get done or you don't have to

142
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: worry about talking about Deck next year. Not here you're saying,

143
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: even if he gets tagged, just okay, we just need

144
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more time. We're not quite done yet. No,

145
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: if he gets tagged period, If I'm Dak, noah, No,

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not doing that because at what point

147
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna allow them to continue to take advantage

148
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: of you? So if I'm yeah, So, if I'm Dak,

149
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: you've had two years to figure this out. Player, you

150
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, like, that's what I'm gona

151
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: talking to. Hey, mister Jones, look here, if you ever

152
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: figured it out by now, then I'm gone. You know, like,

153
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: I've done everything that I can do. I have given

154
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: everything that I have. I have led this organization, every

155
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: test that I've been given, I've I've knocked it out

156
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: the part. What else do you want from me? Right?

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: And if you don't think that that that is enough

158
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: by this point, don't tell me that you only have

159
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: eight days. You've had these last two years as hecks right,

160
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: So don't don't don't try to make it seem like it's,

161
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I need more time. No, you know

162
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: if you don't, because if you don't value me to

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: this date, then you don't have trust me. You don't

164
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: have to worry about me. You won't have to worry

165
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: about me, And that's that would be my stance if

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: I was back. Well, if I gotta say this, guys,

167
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: you know it's it's an old saying. If you if

168
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it.

169
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: And the Dallas Cowboys organization, if you just look at

170
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: the history of the organisation and some of the bad

171
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: quarterback decisions that's been made, it is just pretty much

172
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: handcuffed us over the years. I mean, you could go

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: all the way back to the eighties of Gary Hogeboom,

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Steve Peloor. You can go to when you know Vinny

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: Testaverde was washed up. You could go to the Clint Stoner's,

176
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: the Anthony Wrights, you could go to the what's this guy?

177
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Matt Castle, uh, Drew Bledsol, Drew Henson and all of

178
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: those names don't do nothing but make your stuff. Give

179
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: you the bubble guts. When I say that, it's because

180
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: because all of those players did not allow this franchise

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: to go forward based off of that quarterback play and

182
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: all of man man, I get asked all the time.

183
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been in my community almost twenty years,

184
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: and I got all my neighbors asking when you're gonna

185
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: sign that, when you're gonna sign back, And that's the answer.

186
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: So you got the question. But people are on both

187
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: sides saying, oh, well, we don't need them and we

188
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: can we can save this money to get who what, what?

189
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Where are we gonna go? As far as if you

190
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: look around, if you're if you're saying, okay, we're gonna

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: go into the draft, we're gonna get a rookie quarterback, well, okay,

192
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: good luck with that. Right, What's what are you trying

193
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: to build off of that? And what can you get

194
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: at ten after Trevor Lawrence is gone? Then that's a

195
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: whole nother conversation. But we have to start asking, like,

196
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: what are we saving this money up for? Because we've

197
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: had two years to get it done. The deal is

198
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: black and white. I believe it's around the forty million dollars.

199
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Mark Right's forty million dollars. Give a take, right, what

200
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: are we trying to save? What are we saying is

201
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: he Russell Wilson is thirty six million dollars? Are we're

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: saving four million dollars? But what are we doing? Right?

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: And that's the that is my point with this whole

204
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: argument about that being good not great, Like guys in

205
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: ESPN are saying, you know, he's good, he's not great.

206
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Does he deserve Aaron Rodgers. He's not Aaron Rodgers. It's

207
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: just too much going between. Let's get the deal done

208
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: so we can start building for the future around our

209
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Frank Sis quarterback. Now, you make a fantastic point because

210
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: everything falls in line with the Dak Prescott deal because

211
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: we can talk about Dak Prescott all the way up

212
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: until that deal was signed. When it comes to other topics,

213
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: and sure there are other topics that defense, the special teams,

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, I mean, there's so many different other topics,

215
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: but until you figure out what's going on with Dak Prescott,

216
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: you can't move on to those topics because it starts

217
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the domino effect. It starts the talking point for the

218
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: rest of this Cowboys organization. Because we talked about crossroads

219
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago on the show, and we

220
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: haven't figured out which way we're going. We're still standing

221
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: right the cross roads to figure it out. And Isaiah, Isaiah,

222
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: you kind of started shifting my thought process in terms

223
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: of the leverage in this situation with the Cowboys and

224
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, because specifically with Dak, if they tag

225
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: him at the March ninth deadline, what incentive does he

226
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: have to sign a longer term deal with Dallas after

227
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: the March ninth deadline prior of the draft. There's really

228
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: no incentive. You're gonna make thirty eight point one million

229
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: dollars and you're gonna make a ton of money, which

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: is probably more than you would even make on your

231
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: first year as a salary player with the Cowboys. Anyways,

232
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, so you're gonna make a lot of money.

233
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Look at it like this kind it's kind of like

234
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of like you know some of the situations that

235
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine, like that that Rob has been in,

236
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe even hack him up back before

237
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: he got locked down by Miss Nikki. You know what

238
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: it's like. You know, you could you could date somebody

239
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: for a long time, right, they had At a certain point,

240
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: the lady's gonna ask for what she said, you need

241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: to make a commitment to me. Yep, you need to

242
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: make a commitment. And if you if you're unwilling to

243
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: make a commitment to me, he right, this That's how

244
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: I did with my wife, right, I can tell y

245
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: all this story. Okay, so my wife, I was dating her,

246
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: might have been dating a couple of people at the

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: same time, and a certain at a certain point, she

248
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, if you don't commit to

249
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: me right now, and if I walk out that door,

250
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you won't have to worry about me. I'm not gonna

251
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: be around. I'm still gonna love you, but I'm gonna

252
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: be going on to the next one. Right. That was

253
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: your March Nights, that's marsh Knight. Marsh knightth is d Day. Hey, listen,

254
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: you don't commit to me, all right, if you don't

255
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: put a ring on that thing aka forty million, all right,

256
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm gone and you won't have to worry about me.

257
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: So that's the same thing as you guys start looking through,

258
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: as we all start looking through all these different organizations,

259
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: it's an identity thing. It's not only just a quarterback thing.

260
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: It's literally in an identity thing. So if you go

261
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: through the top the top organizations in this league, right,

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots were they were, their identity was

263
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: who Tom Brady right in Belichick? Right, you think about

264
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: the New Leans Saints after well, we don't know for sure.

265
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees walking away, right, but he's walking away. Drew

266
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: Brees walks away. What's their identity? What's their identity? Yeah?

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, so you start you start looking at somebody

268
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, Aaron Rodgers and he walks

269
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: away from Green Bay. What happens? Who are yeah? Right,

270
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: So you start looking at all these different organizations if

271
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: you don't have that guy. Not only is are you

272
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: trying to feel, not only avoid at that position, you're

273
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: now trying to figure out the identity of your team. Yeah,

274
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: and we we found out. You know, look, Andy Dalton

275
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: played okay, played pretty good, but look we saw what

276
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Dak meant to the team on the field and in

277
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: the locker room, and how they struggled and struggled with

278
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: their confidence believing they could win games. I feel like

279
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: without him when he win, he went down with the

280
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Now I will say this, and I'm getting

281
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: Index's head here. If it were me, you know, coming

282
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: off of that really serious injury, I would love to

283
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: have a one hundred plus million bucks done, signed, delivered

284
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: this spring instead of saying, ah, you know, I can,

285
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: I can? You know you do this spring? This out

286
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: for another year and yeah, I'm getting thirty seven million

287
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed and then do this next year. I'd rather get

288
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: it now. That's just me. I don't know if Dak

289
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: feels that way. I just feel like there's incentive on

290
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: both sides to get this thing done in eight days.

291
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know exactly where they are with

292
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: these negoti jas, but I think at some point if

293
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: there's a little bit momentum, I agree with you guys.

294
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it should take that long to figure

295
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: it out. As much as they've been talking, despite the

296
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: fact there's questions about the cap this year and all that.

297
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: What is what is the next domino to fall Rob

298
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: after Dak Prescott? Because I mean, we can sit here,

299
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: like I said, we can sit and talk. I haven't

300
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: thought that's Far's that's my point because like I, like

301
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, there's no identity. Then where do you go next?

302
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Where do you go? And so that's what's Yeah, you

303
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: can find out, Yeah, Exam Becker. He So that's what's

304
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: frustrating to me, looking as an outsider, is if you're

305
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: that focused and you're that intent on trying to get

306
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback taken care of over not only just

307
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: this off season, but the last two off seasons, and

308
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: you know that this is going to be a repercus

309
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: should have not being able to take that next step

310
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: because I don't know if the Cowboys know what the

311
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: next domino would be once they get this deal done,

312
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: because you can't really figure that out. And and heck

313
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: but like you said earlier, if you don't figure it out,

314
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: there's no identity, there's no next step, and there's really

315
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: nowhere else you can go. Yeah, Kyle, you have to

316
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: figure that out. That's what you're getting paid the big

317
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: bucks for. You gotta know where you're gonna go. I mean,

318
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: nine days to get this deal done. I expected to

319
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: get it get done. I hope that you get it done.

320
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: And Isaiah, that was boy, you got some cohonas on

321
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: you when you, you know, do the comparison on how

322
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: you got married and all of that and the whole

323
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: competition by committee deal. You know, I would just think

324
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: that you know, you were sitting there and you were

325
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: evaluating as Lisa I'll tell you. But either way, you

326
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: know what's best for you. And I feel like everyone knows,

327
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: or at least I feel like those that understand for

328
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: ball realized that DAK is in our problem. We have

329
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: gaping holes on defense that we have to fix, and

330
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: we are shining the spotlight on DAC. But guys, we

331
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: are forgetting about the elephant in the room, and that's

332
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: our defense. If you want to go over the first

333
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: five games of the season and look at the points

334
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: that were scored, historically bad defense played those first five games.

335
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: All right, we scored thirty points, but the other teams

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: were averaging forty points. You can't win many football games

337
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: that way, and you can't even align the rest of

338
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: your roster or anything else unless you get this piece done.

339
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: The salary cap did not do us any favors. And

340
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what the whole mind state is behind

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: being under the salary cap, but still it's getting us

342
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: a losing season if we don't have our all stud quarterback. Hey, hey,

343
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: you know what to that point, you're absolutely right. We

344
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: all know that the gaping hole in it on this

345
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: tired organization right now, it's a defense. However, we're gonna

346
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: have to build our defense through what maybe a couple

347
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: of draft picks, but mostly through what free agency? Free agency? Yeah,

348
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't free agent. Am I for free? If I'm

349
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: a free agent, am I going any anywhere where there's

350
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: not a good quarterback? That's boy, that's a good question,

351
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I am I going? Is JA

352
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: answered me? This is jj wat gonna pick a team

353
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a super Bowl caliber quarterback? No, no,

354
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: just he just picked a team. By the way, he

355
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: just Arizona reasoning Arizona retracked my statement. Then I retract

356
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: this in Kyler Murray. Goodness gracious, No, he's joining it

357
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: up with That's what he's doing. He's joining he's running

358
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: it back in Arizona with de Hop. But hey, but

359
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I that yeah, that's that's why they got to get

360
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: this thing done and the next because it affects everything. Now,

361
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: the cat might go up above one eighty, right, but

362
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: it's not gonna go They reports are not above like

363
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: one eighty five this year. If he's at thirty seven

364
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: point seven, that's twenty one percent of your cap. That's

365
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: almost as much as as Pat Maholmes was on on

366
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: Kansas City's cap. There's nobody else even close. And so

367
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: how do you WHOA I'm not, I'm not. I'm not

368
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: blaming Dak. I'm just saying that's that's the reality of

369
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: trying to rebuild your defense. If that's the cap truck, Yeah,

370
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's um. Now, it could be a weird

371
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: offseason where guys are taking one year deals and taking lass,

372
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: you know. But but that's not a lot to bank on,

373
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: you know. Damn. Everybody just needs to take a big

374
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: sigh of relief. Who's big deep breath in, deep breath out,

375
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: because there's still a long way to go. I mean,

376
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: we've still got nine days of this to talk about it.

377
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna have another show next week, by

378
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: the way, Monday at eleven thirty Central Time. Where will

379
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,920

380
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: hours until this Dak deadline. No, he's signed, He's signed

381
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: by next show. He signed. That would be nice. I'd

382
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: be really I'd be okay with that. Hey, J J.

383
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,520

Speaker 1: we come back after our first break here I'm talking Cowboys.

385
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: We mentioned Russell Wilson last week and I kind of

386
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: halfway took it seriously. I didn't really take it seriously,

387
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: but then it blew up and now it's a national thing,

388
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: and there's other people that are talking about Russell Wilson

389
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: going to the Cowboys. I want to talk about how

390
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: unrealistic that is or how realistic it is. When we

Speaker 1: return on the other side of the break, you're listening

441
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: wait either, because Heckman broke the rules and went before

442
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: he cut no uh yeah right mentioned this going into

443
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: the latter or during the last segment rather, but JJ

444
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Watt just signing with the Arizona Cardinals a couple moments

445
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: ago to two years thirty one million dollars, twenty three

446
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: of that guaranteed to go join a defense that toward

447
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys quite a bit on Monday Night Football in

448
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: Week six this past season, Rob, what are your initial

449
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on JJ's deal, one of the more polarizing defensive

450
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: figures the NFL seen the past decade. I like his tweet.

451
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: He broke the story with like a superimposed shirt on

452
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: his sorts. Me. I love that. Um. I mean, he's

453
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna make their defense instantly better. They've got some some

454
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: pieces on offense for sure. I wonder if I wonder

455
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: if that's the best offer he got. I mean, that's

456
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Twenty three guaranteed over two years and

457
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: fifteen a year. Pretty good. Um. I kind of thought

458
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna stay. I thought he was either gonna

459
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: sign with one of the Bays, either Tampa or Green

460
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: Bay or or you know, maybe maybe um maybe one

461
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: of those AFC teams that's got money, you know, like

462
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: a like an Indianapolis or something. But interesting signing NFC

463
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: west Man. It's a pretty solid division. Yeah, nothing but

464
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: respect for JJ watt Man. It's mister Houston Texas and

465
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, done a phenomenal job. I thought last year

466
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: Man the production was down. I don't know if it

467
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: was just because no OTAs in time to prepare. But

468
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: still with the injuries and all the things that he's had,

469
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy that I put up there amongst the

470
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: guys that need to get a ring to submit their greatness. Right.

471
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: It is to a certain degree guys get to a

472
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: point in their career where the last thing is getting

473
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: a ring. And so Pete that's what I thought. I

474
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: thought he was going to Tampa Bay. That three four

475
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: system that they have, it fits him ideally. But when

476
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: you have a secondary like you know, the Arizona Cardinals

477
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: have Man, you know, Buddha Baker, JJ watt Maybe they

478
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: keep you know Simmons, the linebacker from Clemson, and who

479
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: knows if they keep Pat p But they're solidified on

480
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: their defensive end and offensively Karla Murray. They're just not

481
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna do anything but get better. So Coodoles and JJ

482
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: Watt Man with the NFC West being as good as

483
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: they already were last year, and then you have to

484
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: deal with La made with Detroit to bring Matthew Stafford,

485
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean they're getting good again. I mean you look

486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: at Arizona, they're a young team that's continuing to build.

487
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: Now they're adding this veteran presence in JJ Watt. I mean,

488
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: that's a cutthroat division. But then you look up north

489
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: to the team that's really run that division over the

490
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: last couple of years, to Seattle, and the Seahawks have

491
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks around Pete Carroll, around Russell

492
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: Wilson and his future with the Seahawks, and of course

493
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys kind of got roped into that last week.

494
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: And one of the big things that I saw last week,

495
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: or at least storylines, was potential trade rumors from of

496
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: course Russell Wilson going from Seattle to Dallas, and then

497
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: also guys like Dan Orlovsky on ESPN, who I have

498
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: here I have respect for as a journalist, but not

499
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: really at the same time, because he does throw a

500
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: lot of potatoes at the wall and tries to get

501
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: it to stick as much as possible. Stephen A. Smith

502
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the same thing there, and I think

503
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: ultimately they don't understand how tough it would be on

504
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on the Seahawks to get a deal done.

505
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: Then you have other people on Fox Sports one saying that, hey,

506
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: guess what you can throw in Ezekiel Elliot to try

507
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: and make this thing work. Well, it doesn't work for

508
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: either side. It doesn't work for anybody at all, players, teams,

509
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. So my thought process here, and we

510
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: talked about it last week on Russell Wilson. But Isaiah,

511
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: how tough would it be to get Russell Wilson to Dallas?

512
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: And is that even remotely realistic or is it even

513
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: worth even talking No, it's not worth talking about it.

514
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: I know we're talking about it briefly, but it won't happen.

515
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: It will happen. I mean, I get when when's the

516
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: last time you know, I guess I'm Maria Cooper's the

517
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: last time we gave up any sizable draft draft positioning

518
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: to go get somebody. It's not something that US does,

519
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: And that's something that you would have to do. Um

520
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: in Seattle, especially with my guy Schneider up there. He's

521
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: he's he's a he's a he's a draft pick, Howard right,

522
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: He just he loves draft picks. Um. He knows how

523
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: to utilize him. He's a genius when it comes to it.

524
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: So that's what it would take he's not really interested

525
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: in high dollar acquisitions. Rob. Yeah, the simple look, the

526
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to sign their guy. I'm confident in that.

527
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Number one, number two. This, This ends the conversation right here.

528
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks didn't even want to trade Earl Thomas back in

529
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: the day, right, They didn't want to do that. To

530
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: trade Russell Wilson. It would cost them almost forty million

531
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: dollars just to get him off of their team, like

532
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: they're best player Hall of Famer. That makes no financial sense,

533
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: That makes no sense in terms of trying to win

534
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: football games. I don't know if they're going to work

535
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: it out up there. He's obviously not happy about something, uh,

536
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: particularly I guess the way he's been protected up there.

537
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: But I just don't this. It's fun to talk about nationally,

538
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: but it's I just don't think it's a story, especially

539
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: not for the Cowboys. I think Sierra is tired of

540
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: the rain. I like it. I like it. You know,

541
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: come on, let's let's play with this idea for a second,

542
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: all right, and I mean for a very short second. Guys,

543
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: you're right, Pete to forty million dollars just to get

544
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: out of town. Who does that besides the Boo Eagles, right,

545
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: And so you wouldn't think that Seattle would pull something

546
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: like this often. Where are all these rumblings coming from

547
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: that Russ wants to leave Seattle? And you know, I

548
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: think there are a lot that it's a lot of

549
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: intrigue and people are talking about you know, I've seen

550
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: those means of him in the Cowboys uniform. I love

551
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I think he's one of the good guys

552
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: in the league. And you know, he stands for family.

553
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: You can see everything about him is good Christian values.

554
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: I love that. But I love that for him in Seattle. Right,

555
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: And you talk about the rain, the only rain I

556
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: want to talk about his ringa colda press Scott Right,

557
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: that's it. And and look, if we're just talking about

558
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: production from both of these players, just could do a

559
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: comparison between Dak and his first five years and Russell

560
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: to his The numbers are damned there identical. Where Dak

561
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: and his fourth year almost through for five thousand yards. Again,

562
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: that's an eight and eight season. But people love to

563
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: talk about the numbers and all those things. Let's let's

564
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: stay consistent. When you want to talk about the numbers,

565
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: about Russ and you want to talk about Dak. They're identical.

566
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: So you're giving up a younger version of Russell Wilson

567
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: for older Russell Wilson. Got whatever. You look at the

568
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: conversation as a whole, it doesn't make any sense. And

569
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: like Rob said, pure forty million dollars to get Russell

570
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: Wilson out of town. That's enough already to say this

571
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: isn't worth doing, this isn't worth talking about. Yet a

572
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are looking at a lot of people

573
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: were excited about, Hey, he could potentially go to the Cowboys.

574
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's not going to go anywhere unless he says

575
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: he's sitting out. And if he's gonna go somewhere, it's

576
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: going to go to a place that can take a

577
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: little bit of that cap hit, which the Cowboys can't

578
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: afford to do right now because they're not that close

579
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: at the moment. Now. I'm never one to go after

580
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: media personalities and even like call people out on that regard,

581
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: but ultimately, well I already did with dan Or Lobsky

582
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: and Stephen A. Smith. They're spread so thin. Can we

583
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: get them some help producer wise? Up there? Can we

584
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: get somebody that knows the landscape of how the NFL

585
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: works to be by their side and feed their own

586
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: opinions into their ears. Because first it was the Dak

587
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: hype video or the hype video that the Cowboys put

588
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: out or that our department put out, and then ultimately

589
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: it was apparently a slap in the face to Dak Prescott,

590
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: which is not the case, was never the case. And

591
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: then on the other side, it's now this talking about

592
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's going to be a cowboy. It's stupid, it's

593
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: a re it's it's annoying. I'm fed up with that conversation.

594
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Really really, do you know, Hey, Kyle, they love keeping

595
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: that start in their mouth, man, and that's what we do.

596
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna, We're gonna. It's so many we have so

597
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: many haters, and that's what they want to do. I mean,

598
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: they want to sabotage our cap They want to do

599
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: so many things. I mean, and talk about Pete like

600
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: when you said this, this is it ends the conversation

601
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: when you talk about a team taking on a forty

602
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: million dollar cap pit. Oh my gosh. But you know,

603
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: I think originally the report by Belief came from his

604
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: agents saying, this is the list of teams he would

605
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: go to. What team gets more talk and buzz than

606
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Maybe there was some some you know, maybe

607
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: that was orchestrated a little bit. You know, so sex

608
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Cells and the Cowboys are sexy baby, no matter, he

609
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: always have man. And that's why, I mean, that's once

610
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: again why this whole situation is so explosive and it's

611
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: so volatile because at the moment, I mean, you don't

612
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: know what direction this Cowboys team is going to go.

613
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: And I asked this question a while back on the show,

614
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: but I'm going to ask it again those to you guys,

615
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: because last week we did talk about Russell Wilson and

616
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: how good of a quarterback Russell Wilson is. But is

617
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott worth the money? Simple as that, because I

618
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: want to go around the horn here and answer this question,

619
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: and I want you to answer it truthfully because if not,

620
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to call you out because both of you

621
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: guys are actually almost all three of you guys last

622
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: week said that Russell Wilson is a better quarterback than

623
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, But does that mean that he's still worth

624
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: the money as a franchise quarterback moving into of course,

625
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: what will be his second contract. Do you think that's

626
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: a realistic thing for the Cowboys route. Yes, I've been

627
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: pretty consistent all throughout months and months. I think they

628
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: should resign Dak. I still think ultimately they will. It

629
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: may not get done in the next say days. The

630
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: reasons why, I've got three reasons for you. One, the

631
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: cap will continue to go up and quarterback salaries will

632
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: continue to go up. So yes, it's a lot of

633
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: money to sign Dak, but it's going to be even

634
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: more money to sign Dak in future years, so you know,

635
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: the salaries will only continue to rise at this position.

636
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead and get it done, you know, go draft

637
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: another one is a popular thing, right Well, look inside

638
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: the NFC East and see the teams that have been

639
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: drafted in the top ten, top fifteen. They're not around anymore.

640
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: Or their question marks about Daniel Jones in New York,

641
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: whether he can pan out, it's not that easy. And

642
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: then also I think there's also a misconception about teams

643
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: can't win with a quarterback absorbing a huge percentage of

644
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: the salary cap. I don't agree with that. I think

645
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: there's been some chances there that haven't worked out for teams,

646
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: and ultimately you got to have a really good one

647
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: and you pay Dak for what he can be, not

648
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: just what he is right now. No, I think I've

649
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: been consistent also about Dak Prescott and getting the deal done.

650
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean when you talked about Russell, we were just saying, if,

651
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: if all else, if this was a guy that you

652
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: would go to, would you decline Russell Wilson And the

653
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: obvious answer would be hell, no, You're signed Russ and

654
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: a heartbeat, right, but no factors being thrown in there,

655
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: no added money or picks or whatever it would take

656
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: to get him. You're talking straight, Yeah, exactly, That's That's

657
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You'd be stupid to not, you know,

658
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: consider that if, if, if, there's no way that this

659
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: deal can get done. But I just I just feel

660
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: like from an organizational standpoint, looking around the league, there

661
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: aren't thirty one, There aren't thirty one other teams that

662
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't sign there all everything quarterback, and we have let

663
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: this thing just accumulating, just just be groundhall day when

664
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: we have to put this behind us. I mean I

665
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: said it before, I say it again. We can't it

666
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: really is put us in a situation where we cannot

667
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: get anything else done until we get this done. And

668
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: if we're not gonna get that, if we're not gonna

669
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: get Dak's deal done, then that changes the draft show.

670
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: You now instead of talking about getting a quarterback and

671
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: all of that other stuff, now you're talking about, you know,

672
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: maybe putting some deals together to get a high quarterback pick, right,

673
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: getting up really high to pick a guy. So, you know,

674
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: I think it changes so much. We're at we're at

675
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: the crossroads. We gotta make a decision, and Dak is

676
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: right here, and I don't believe that we should be saying, oh,

677
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: is the ankle gonna heal any of that. That's the

678
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: same mistake that San Diego made with Drew Brees with

679
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Did it heal? I think it healed. Comparing

680
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott to Drew Brees. We have new heights now

681
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: set on this negotiation on talking. Well, think, what do

682
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: you think Dak is man? I mean, like, what what

683
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: when you can do a comparison with Dak, where do

684
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: you put Dak? I mean, if I can't say Dak

685
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees in the same sentence, then who is

686
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: Drew Breese in the same category? Asks who can Dak

687
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: be in the same category? But we're talking about Carson

688
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: Wentz and all these other guys now no longer in

689
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: the NFC now what we're talking about. Man, we can't

690
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: just keep moving this thing back and forth when I

691
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: say Dak and Drew Brees, like, oh, but this is

692
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Come on, it's not Kyle's. Kyle's jab in

693
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: the pen. That's what he's doing. He's needing us. But but, but,

694
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: but Drew Brees is not the comparison. It's it's like

695
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Heck said, it's it's Carson Wentz, It's it's golf, it's

696
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. This is the going rate for an a

697
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, an above average quarterback in this league. That's

698
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: what you have to do to keep a guy in

699
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: this position. So, you know, and he's got more ability

700
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: or as he's shown as much ability as any of

701
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that God deals already, I'm trying to think

702
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: Tannehill other ones basically we did last year before the end. Again,

703
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: it's to me, you're paying also for what you think

704
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: he can develop into. You look at what Russell Wilson

705
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: heck made the comparison what Russell Wilson developed into. I

706
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: think that's what you're projecting with Dak over the course

707
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: of a four or five year deal. Um, it's not

708
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: about right now. As he Drew Brees doesn't matter, it's

709
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: what you project him to be. Isamh Well, I have

710
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: not been consistent in terms of Dike Prescott. I was

711
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: unaware that the Cowboys were unable to formulate victories without

712
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: without Dike Prescott. I figured that somebody else could step

713
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: in with the same resources, which then weren't the same resources,

714
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: because the whole office of line was in there with

715
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: with Jim and Britt. But but I was under the

716
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: impression that somebody else can step in with those same

717
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: resources and do his job. I was wrong. I was wrong. Somebody,

718
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, Andy Dawton came in and he did what

719
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: he once he got his feet underneath him, once he

720
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: had a decent office line in front of him, he

721
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: started He started doing the dude. But then you got,

722
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: you know, to the last little moment there, and he

723
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: did he kind of fell off the wagon a little bit.

724
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: So Dak Prescott to the Dallas Cowboys, Yes he's worth it.

725
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott to other organizations, I don't know. I don't

726
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see. I don't see other organizations.

727
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: There will be other organizations that will pay the money,

728
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's nearly as valuable to those

729
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: organizations as he is to the Dallas Cowboys. So to

730
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: answer your question, yes, here, No, not so much other places.

731
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: So where would that leverage lean? Then would that lean to?

732
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: You have no leverage lean towards Dak Prescott if you're saying, oh, yeah,

733
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: where would that lean Because I don't really know what

734
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: to make of Is he valuable to us or is

735
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: he valuable outside? Yeah? No, I mean you're asking shit,

736
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: he is he worth the money here in Dallas? Absolutely,

737
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: pay the man. Pay the man out there on the market.

738
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: He'll probably get the same money, But it won't be

739
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: an order to this type of organization, if that, If

740
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense right, you know it will be a

741
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: lesser tier organization that will pay because they're trying to

742
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: leap frog themselves into into a conversation of respect. But

743
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, as a Dallas Cowboys, you already have somebody

744
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: here who has a respect of the city. He has

745
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: a respect of his team, Um, and they and he

746
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: has a leadership aspect that comes along with it. And yeah,

747
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: you need to pay him come home to day. That's

748
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You you you, we're talking about the money.

749
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter if it's Buffalo, San Francisco, no

750
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: matter what, they're gonna pay him the money that he's worth.

751
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely Buffalo. Yeah, Buffalo has a good quarterback. I understand.

752
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: I understand. We're just putting that names for sure, for sure. No,

753
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with you. Heck. So Yeah, that

754
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: was a long way of saying, yes, he's worth the money. Um,

755
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: but it's all contexts. It really is all contexts, Yes,

756
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: it really is. I mean, is he worth the money

757
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick? I don't. I don't think so. Bill

758
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: Belichick wouldn't pay for that. But Bill Belichick has gotten

759
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: away with it with the quarterback that's been willing to

760
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: take less. Absolutely, So that's what I'm saying. It's all

761
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: it's all about the scenario right in Dallas. Yeah, he's

762
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: worth that. You have to pay him that here in Dallas.

763
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: If if you try to say, hey, if Dak trying

764
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: to take his agent went to go ahead of that

765
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: same conversation into England. Yah, it's not happening. It's not happening.

766
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: Now that does that take his value down more? No,

767
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: he's still the same valuable quarterback. However, they're unwilling to

768
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: pay it. So guess what, to them, he's not worth it.

769
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if I agree on that.

770
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: I think he would be just as valuable in Dallas

771
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: as he would be elsewhere, because I mean, that's what

772
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: we're talking about here, is leverage and negotiation, and hey,

773
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave if we tag him after twenty twenty

774
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: one anyways, right, I mean, he's gonna get that same

775
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of money. It's gonna go right with what the

776
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: market has to say from a quarterback standpoint. And if

777
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: you're saying that he's not valuable to other franchises as

778
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: much as he is the Cowboys, isn't that the problem

779
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have right now is trying to figure

780
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: out whether or not he's valuable peer. I don't know.

781
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to kind of piece together what

782
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: you're saying here with I guess take it like a

783
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: would another team have paid Jaylen Smith? Would they paid

784
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: him at the time, maybe because they were trying to

785
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: get ahead of the curve. Now, no nobody would, Boys would.

786
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: But but you gotta understand, Jaylen Smith didn't sign a

787
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: deal that made him the highest paid linebacker in the

788
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: league either. So you talk about a team friendly deal,

789
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Jaylen smith deal was a team friendly deal which you're

790
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: asking that to sign. Yeah, yeah, we just we just

791
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: we just gonna agree to disagree on this one. I just,

792
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: I just I just I just don't think. I think

793
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: when you talk about is somebody worth it? Right, when

794
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: you just take that broad spectrum question right there, that

795
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: that value has to be equal amongst every organization, right

796
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: would would be what would every organization pay this for

797
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: that quarterback? And I don't think you I don't think

798
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: we can undoutly say yes. I don't I don't I

799
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: don't think we can say yes. I think I think

800
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: New England would be giddy to have a chance at

801
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: Dak press guy and forty million dollars. Even with the money,

802
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I still think they would be Guinny. They did it

803
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: was right. I know Cam Newton's money was nowhere twenty dollars.

804
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't close to forty million. Dollars. But

805
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying it worked out that way whenever they went

806
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: and got a big man Homer MVP, and they went

807
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: and grabbed Cam Newton paid him eight dollars and then

808
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: he ended up being on the hey on the bench.

809
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: Question is what every organization paid forty million dollars and

810
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we could say yes, I think they would.

811
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: I do. I think he's worth that money, and I've

812
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: I've been consistent much like how you guys talked about it, Isaiah,

813
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: I do respect like I mean talking about specifically early

814
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: in the season. I mean, you weren't you weren't there

815
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: you were saying, y Dalton's gonna step in and be

816
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: just fine. I think we're all on the same page

817
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: now that Dak is the guy that is the sure

818
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: as I'll say here here in Dallas answers. Yes, I

819
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: think you guys are both right because I think Kyle

820
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: I agree with you that I think you know he's

821
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: healthy and he's back to where he was, and there's

822
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: confidence obviously that he will be then that he can

823
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: bring that type to every team that needs a quarterback.

824
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think Isaiah, he he's become

825
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: the face of this franchise. I mean, he's become not

826
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: just the guy on the field, but they're emotional leader,

827
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: a guy that can connect with everybody in the locker room.

828
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's he's a guy they're drafted. So

829
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: I think it means more to resign a guy that

830
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: you've built and invested so much in. So I think

831
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: you'll kind of both right from that perspective now. And

832
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a weird, weird argument though, too, because

833
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: when you look at a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo when

834
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: he signed in San Francisco, he wasn't approven commodity, but

835
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: he signs for one of the highest contracts for quarterbacks

836
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: at the time at twenty six twenty seven million dollars.

837
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: He goes to a Super Bowl. All for all intensive purposes,

838
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: they should have won the Super Bowl. They will one

839
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy g miss pat asks away from actually winning in

840
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: milking the clock to be able to win a Super Bowl.

841
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: So to say that that all of those things, and

842
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from, Isaia, when you talk

843
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: about what the market will demand for dak if he

844
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: does lead Dallas, I just still don't think that that

845
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: has the same kind of weight because you know damn

846
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: well that teams are going to play him what he's

847
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: worth currently, what the market value says that you pay

848
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback of his caliber. I do get what you're saying,

849
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: I said, because there's there's a difference, But I just

850
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: that's That's what I'm about to say, is I think

851
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: there's a difference between value and a franchise face, you know,

852
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: like and morality almost because at the end of the day,

853
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: and you know there's more than any any of the

854
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: four of us do. But football is a business, and

855
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: right now, that's what is being that's what's happening. If

856
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: this was based on Dak Prescott being a leader or

857
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: being a franchise face and being the mister cowboy too

858
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: with with the four jerseys on the walls, that he

859
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: would have been signed in twenty seventeen, it would have

860
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: been done already. And it just isn't the case because

861
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: negotiations and contracts and all sorts of stuff get in

862
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: the way because the business gets in the way more

863
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: than it does the personality side. Yeah, it's just yeah,

864
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just so much deeper as if

865
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: people talk about the money in a contract. It's so

866
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: much deeper than just the numbers. It's just it's so

867
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: much deeper than that. I mean, it's just and it's hard.

868
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: It's hard for people to grasp it as hard for

869
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: people to understand. I guess really what I'm saying, because

870
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: if you if you called, if you called Tampa Bay

871
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: right now, it was like, hey, get rid of Tom Brady,

872
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: take on a forty million dollars deck, They'd be like hell, no, no,

873
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: well there and it's bow. But again, but again, though,

874
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's all dependent on the organization in a

875
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: position at their end. It's not so clear cut. Is

876
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: is he worth it? Yeah? Ok, yeah, some teams, a

877
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: lot of teams will pay him forty But then there's

878
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: some teams just like I'd rather take the twenty six

879
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: million dollars man, that's gonna get me to the dog chavanship,

880
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, it's just it depends,

881
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: It really depends. Are people. Would people get behind Dak

882
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: like they get behind Tom Brady? No, right, why because

883
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't been there and right he's not approven. So

884
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: like if they're not paying no right near or forty

885
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: million dollars a year for Tom right now right, So again,

886
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: I'm not disrespecting them. I'm just saying the facts. It's

887
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: not the same the way that Dallas needs Dak. Every

888
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: organization doesn't need Dak wouldn't be willing to pay him that. No,

889
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm so you're so old now, I'm sorry. I mean

890
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah sold me on that. Okay. Hey, he's a very

891
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: good debater and somebody who can shift the mindsets of

892
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: the masses. Isaiah, stand back, our residents champion. Uh. When

893
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna get away from Dak Prescott.

894
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: Thank goodness for everybody. If you if you tuned out,

895
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: tune back in, please thank you. Uh. We're we're gonna

896
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: talk about free agents. Is this free agent market enough

897
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: to get the Cowboys excited? And how can they build

898
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: around what is the current roster before maybe Dak Prescott

899
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: and or the draft comes up out of nowhere here

900
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: over the next month or so. When we come back

901
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys presented by Geico, Hi, I'm Clint

902
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: Tillison with you, United Aggin Turf. When there's work to

903
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: be done, a real workhorse can make all the difference,

904
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: Like the range Boss package. Our fifty seventy five e

905
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: John Deere seventy five horsepower tractor features a bell, spear

906
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: and loader and starts at three sixty nine per month.

00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: my favorite drop of the I got it right, this

947
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: love it. The fluctuations of the voice weren't there though,

948
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: Hey yeah it was nah no, that was his ESPN voice,

949
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: that was his basketball voice. That was like a that

950
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: was like a sixty eight percent. I guess you didn't

951
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: pass Monday. Monday dog always on Monday. Well, that's the

952
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: thing is is we moved say it with your chest

953
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: to Fridays during the regular season, and now, of course

954
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: we're only on Mondays. So say it with your chest

955
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: Monday is one thing. And we've been saying it with

956
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: your chest here over the last hour or forty five

957
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: minutes or so. But we've got about ten minutes left.

958
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah staying back, Rob Phillips, Heck Maharris, and I'm Kyle Yeomans,

959
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: and Rob tell me about some free agents, because whenever

960
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: I look around the NFL, and I'm looking at some

961
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: of the potential pickups for the Cowboys, because last year

962
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: we saw them build via veterans moving into the draft,

963
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: and I felt more excited about the free agent crop

964
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: last year than I did or than I do right now,

965
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at this free agent selection and it

966
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: doesn't excite me to any extent, especially and maybe this

967
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: is just based off of how poorly free agency went

968
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys last year with Dontari Poe, Gerald mccaha,

969
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix, Everson Griffin. I mean, we had a lot

970
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: of fun doing free agency shows last year until you know,

971
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: the free agency stuff didn't really work out. So what

972
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: does it look like this year? What is the general

973
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: overarching look of the free agent market and how could

974
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: potential players shape the Cowboys. I hate to not be

975
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: able to answer your question, but I mean, we just

976
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: spent forty five minutes on Dak Prescott for good reason,

977
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 1: because again, if they can't get that cap number down,

978
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: it's to me, it's just gonna they're gonna be hard

979
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: pressed to make impact signings. However, Number one, they could

980
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: get the cap number down with the deal done too,

981
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: they're you know, every team's faced with this problem, and

982
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: you're already seeing some cap casualties around the league, some

983
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: guys getting cut to safe cap space, and you know

984
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: it's very possible that guys will take one year deals

985
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: in certain spots and bank on the cap going way

986
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: up next year with hopefully a return to mostly normal life.

987
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: So you're seeing it. You know, I've been saying defensive

988
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: tackle might be the biggest need on this roster, not

989
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: counting and getting Dack signed. You know, Kawan Short is

990
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 1: a guy that got cut by Carolina, Darrell Casey and Denver.

991
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if those are guys that would fit

992
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys necessarily. I'm just saying, you know, they

993
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: are proven veteran guys, and Kyle and know what you're saying.

994
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: They signed some veteran guys that not work out last year.

995
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: But there may be opportunity to sign guys at at

996
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: cap friendly deals because every team is dealing with this problem.

997
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: A few teams have cash, A lot of teams don't.

998
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: Kawan Short. We could go get another Carolina defensive tackle, Retrail.

999
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, so just throwing out names, I'm just

1000
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: throwing out No I like it, No, I like it.

1001
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: I just when you said Carolina, it just it brought

1002
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: back bad memories. Yeah, flashbacks, And let's say, insanity by

1003
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: definition is same thing. Come on, man, you know we

1004
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: just look we gotta, we gotta. We talked about dan Quinn.

1005
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn has one hell of a job on his

1006
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: hands and he's gonna have to feel in some blanks here, uh,

1007
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: some spots pretty quickly and Pe, you're right without the

1008
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: salary cap answers, we don't know if we can go

1009
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: after a Leonard Williams, right, We don't know if we

1010
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: could get a stud like that. Um. I'm looking at

1011
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: Ken O'Neill, the free safety from Atlanta, and the only

1012
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: reason why he's attracted to me is that he's played

1013
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: in dan Quinn system. A guy's like kJ Wright who

1014
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: has played in dan Quinn system. I think those are

1015
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: guys that well, especially at kJ Wright, can come in

1016
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: and be a tone set or a culture changer. That's

1017
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: what you need. You need a culture changer. We just

1018
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: didn't look that good last year. When you talk about

1019
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: a culture we had a quarterback. We had a quarterback

1020
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: that got knocked unconscious versus the Washington football team and

1021
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: nobody and nobody came to his defense. We've got to

1022
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: change that. That's a culture thing. You know, guys have

1023
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: got to be willing to put it on the line

1024
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: for each other. And so if we can bring in

1025
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: those kind of guys, then I think it changes our

1026
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: team immediately. You saw exactly what Tampa Bay did bringing

1027
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: in Tom ab Grant guys like that. But you already

1028
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: had to have the nucleus of players already there. Do

1029
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: we have that nucleus of players here? Is really the

1030
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: biggest question. That's a good point. I don't know. I'm

1031
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: looking at this. I'm looking at this list too. I'm

1032
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: not really intrigued by much on here, not the positions

1033
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: that we need at you know, I think the d tackle,

1034
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: I think it's number one, So you know, we've talked

1035
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: about it extensively. We need to find a dog man.

1036
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: We need to find an absolute, complete, unadulter dog who's

1037
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: going to come in. Obviously the linebacker, it'd be nice

1038
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: to have kjkjs my dog. It'd be nice to have kJ.

1039
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: But because kJ, I could think, could really coach up

1040
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: those other two guys to get those guys on on

1041
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: the on the right page. M But we we have

1042
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: to figure out the defensive line. And I know everybody's

1043
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: talking about the secondary. Your secondary doesn't have to be

1044
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: as good when your defensive line is amazing. So Tampa

1045
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: Bay you can get up, Yeah, you can exactly, Tampa

1046
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: Bay if they don't have time to you don't have

1047
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: time to throw. My guys don't have to cover that long.

1048
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: So makes guys better instantly. So it's more that more

1049
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: so it could be coached up. Not to say that

1050
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: we don't need to address it. We definitely still need

1051
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: to address it. However, I think all of our attention

1052
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: needs to be placed immediately on securing some dogs up frontum,

1053
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: checking our health of our guys that got hurt um,

1054
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: and then also filling those gaps and making sure that

1055
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: our front seven is too deep, right, too deep front

1056
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: seven right this year has taught us that make sure

1057
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: that you're that your front seven. It would just the

1058
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: best seven guys, No we need, We need like thirteen

1059
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: guys that can go get it and then go figure

1060
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: out your secondary. So I kind of want to play

1061
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: Devil's Advocate just to tad bit a little bit more

1062
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: than I already have this entire episode. But both Hecma

1063
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: and Isaiah, you both mentioned kJ Wright and you're bringing

1064
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: him in as a veteran to and your words were

1065
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: to coach up the other two guys talking about Layton

1066
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: Vanderesh and Jalen Smith. Haven't they already had that in

1067
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: Sean Lee? Haven't they already had? I mean, who better

1068
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: to coach up a player than a guy who should

1069
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: be the defensive coordinator at some pointments football. When I

1070
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: say coach up, I mean actually be able to show

1071
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: them too. Not just not just from the intellectual side

1072
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: of things, it's also how you're so Sean. I mean,

1073
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: that's no disrespect to Sean. I mean I was an

1074
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: injury guy. I face a lot of injuries. You can't

1075
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: control it. It is what it is. You can just

1076
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: control how you get back from it. Um. But there's

1077
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: something to be said about the guys who who go

1078
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: about doing business the right way, who go about being

1079
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: professionals the right way, you won't find You won't find

1080
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: kJ being flashy. Kj's the most chill cat. You know.

1081
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: I think he's in He got his little side business

1082
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: as he does. And you know he's a great teammate

1083
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: who watches film and you know, just doesn't he supposed

1084
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: to do. He's where he's supposed to be at. You know,

1085
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: you have to worry about him wearing glasses and postgame

1086
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: interviews and stuff. So I mean, I think there's there's

1087
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: there's just a way of how he approaches the game,

1088
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: how he could be super valuable. It's gonna take a

1089
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: lot for kJ to leave Seattle. It would take a

1090
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot, just because he loves he

1091
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: loves that city. He loves that city and Bobby. And

1092
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: if JJ Watts sighting to Arizona doesn't show everybody how

1093
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: powerful of these brotherly bonds are in the inside the

1094
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: locker room, then you need to reconsider. So you know,

1095
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: when you talk about kJ leaving, I don't see kJ

1096
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: leaving Bobby. They're they're just they're connected at the hill.

1097
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: Love a good point. I love that. I love that,

1098
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: and I don't And I'm not saying what I'm saying Kyle,

1099
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: that that any of these guys need a mentor. I mean,

1100
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: he just guys a guy that has mastered the system

1101
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: that can show you how to play it. I mean,

1102
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like Jayalen from one standpoint, he's just

1103
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: got to get out of his head and get back

1104
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: to being the athlete that he know that he is.

1105
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: If he's going to go back to the mic. His

1106
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: responsibilities are going to be sideline the sideline. If Lve

1107
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: is going to go to the will, he's going to

1108
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: have to be able to close out and he's also

1109
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: going to have to be able to cover. Those are

1110
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: things that we know in this defense with dan Quinn

1111
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: is going to be asked of our linebackers. They need

1112
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: an example of that. Ye yeah, no, I agree, and

1113
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: I would be down for a kJ Wright signing, But

1114
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to throw that in there about Sean

1115
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: Lee already being there and kind of put what was different,

1116
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: and I agree with you the fact that he can

1117
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: actually show on the field and he can actually play

1118
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: and has the ability and has that talent level at

1119
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: least at this point in his career. Of course, we

1120
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: know Sean had it previously to the injuries, but kJ

1121
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: Wright could certainly do that, and hey, maybe he has

1122
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: a guy that I could potentially find his way on

1123
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: the dan Quinn's defense again and have some success. But

1124
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it here for us. On talking Cowboys, well,

1125
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna promise that we're not gonna talk Dak

1126
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Prescott next week, because we're probably gonna talk Dak Prescott

1127
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: next week either as a signing or as a tag

1128
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: or we're right back in the same spot and we're

1129
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: still sitting looking at the crossroads as we have been

1130
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: for the past two crossroads as always, but for Chris

1131
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Beam and Aaron Gonzalez back at the star for Isaiah

1132
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: stand back, Rob Phillips, hand heck My Harrison up, Kyle

1133
