And the one thing that I will 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.840 not do is show up lacking or show up listen there. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.160 So I just want to throw on a little Sunday. 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:36.280 I mean, nothing too crazy, nothing too crazy. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.800 It's I just wanted to I just wanted to match 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:38.080 the end. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.959 Nothing too crazy, man, never never go too crazy. You've 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:41.880 never been known to do that. 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.560 Sorry, boy. We drafted some players. Boy man, you know 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.160 that's the thing. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.840 We're going to get into this draft uh today and 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.320 talk about what happened. You guys obviously did the Draft 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.080 show all weekend, so you were there for every single pick, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.400 literally every single pick, not just the Cowboys pick. So 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.360 we'll get into some talk around the Cowboys draft if 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:01.960 we have time. We might even talk about some other 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.000 drafts around the league or some interesting things that came 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.040 out of the weekend, mister Seder Sanders. But we'll see 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.560 if we got time to get into some of that other. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:09.520 We're not gonna have time. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.080 We'll see if we don't. If we don't, then we 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.079 always have show next week. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.640 And there, Yeah. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:18.560 How many times. Have we done this? 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.120 All right, So we're gonna go around the table real quick. 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.960 I want everybody in a word or maybe three, how 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.399 would you characterize the Cowboys draft. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:27.320 We'll start at your batch. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.600 Bp A shouts out to y'all. Learn you listen. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.480 Yeah, I think that handle your business with the board, 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.520 the way that thing's set up. Man, it was. I 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.800 know it's two words, handle your business. I guess two words. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.840 But but yeah, they drafted their board. Applaud to you 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.160 for that. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:43.960 Yeah. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.280 I thought they addressed a lot of the things that 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960 they were interested in except one. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.120 Oh yeah, yeah, there. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.440 We'll talk about a big one. A big one there was. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.880 We're gonna see what happens, if there's anything in the 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.519 works or what they're planning to do. But I cannot 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.840 imagine them going into training camp and starting everything up 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.600 without adding a player that's a wide receiver with experience 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:10.080 at least. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.600 All right, let's talk about the first round draft pick, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.280 Tyler Booker, Alabama guard. How much of ma an impact 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.760 do you think he will make immediately coming right out 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:19.040 of box. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:20.920 I think he's gonna be a Day one guy. I 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.359 don't think he needs too much weight room as a 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.120 day one guy like he's powerful right now, that's his profile. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.880 I'm powerful guy, gap exchange guy, I'm IQ guy, and 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.679 I'm tough and mean guy, and I'm leadership guy. And 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.640 I've been doing this for a long time. It' sec guy, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.800 you know. So I you know, there are some routes 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.120 that the Cowboys could have gone right. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.440 There was a lot of roomors about. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.320 Gray's Abel grays Abel's cool, but North Dakota State ain't Alabama. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.480 His athleticism and all that kind of stuff that's not 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.280 gonna move bodies. And Clayton Madams came in and talked about, Hey, 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:50.640 we're gonna move the line of scrimmage. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:51.440 That's what we want to do. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.880 So you take Tyler Booker, you pair him with BB 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.920 you pair him with big Tyler Smith because it's three titleers. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.440 We got to make sure we say the right names now. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.240 And even Terreen Steele when he was at his best, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.320 when he was working with zag Martin, he was a 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.920 people mover. Zach gets hurt or you know, Bass gets 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.839 in there, or Hoffman gets in there, then Terrence looks 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.120 a little different. Coaching is gonna matter as well. So 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.000 I can only imagine that Booker being back will help 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.760 tern Steel out. So now we have I wouldn't say 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.359 a question mark about four out of our five offensive lineman. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.360 I think day one you get a little better O line. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.160 Yeah, the overall experience if you look at last year though, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.960 from Tyler Geyton to where you drafted now, Tyler Goeyton 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.880 really didn't have a lot of experience and the learning 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.120 curve was very, very steep, and we saw that last 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.200 year and you know, unfortunately there were times where he 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.680 was hurt and unavailable and then at the end of 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.960 the season there the coaches are trying to win games 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.960 to make maybe make sure that they come back, and 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.080 you know, he lost that opportunity from an experience standpoint. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.640 But when you're talking about Vachua, Stevens mentioned that, like 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.240 with Tyler Burr, you have a guy that is lined 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.120 up and played in a lot of big time football games. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.120 Dallas Cowboys are going to play in a lot of 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.159 big time football games. They got the right guy here. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.400 Yeah, I'm super excited to see him come in because 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.560 I think he will definitely make an impact immediately. I 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.600 don't see him having a very huge learning curve. Obviously, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.800 there's that learning curve that you're automatically gonna have year one. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.560 But I think he's a plugin player and he's gonna 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.520 be able to be effective immediately. He's extremely smart. You 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.000 look at his history, everything he's done, starting from high 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.280 school all the way up until this point, and even 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.880 listening to him the way that he describes things. He's 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.839 so graphic, but I love it, like it makes you excited. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:40.800 He is very confident, and it just makes you believe that, Okay, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.159 this is someone that's definitely going to come in here 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.200 and make history for the Cowboys. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.000 Also, also, Booker can't get better. There's a lot of 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.919 room for him to go. You know, he likes to, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.600 you know, lunge and lean sometimes when he's whooping people, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.160 and you know there's a coach that can tap him 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.560 on the show like hey buddy, just keep your balance here, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.320 keep your feet here, keep your hands there. So there's 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.200 there's there's room to grow. And I don't know how 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.360 the National Football League does, but they find a way 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.400 to make people stronger. And he's already strong guy. Next 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.480 year he's gonna be bigger and his neck's gonna be 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.359 swollen and he's gonna be strong and like man, Tyler 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.560 Booker is even more of what he was good at 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:14.800 this year than he was last year. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:15.800 A lot of room to grow him. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.359 Yes, I was looking at some of some different things 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.520 I was seeing online, some different film of him playing. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.240 One of the things that stood out to me, As 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.880 you were mentioned in Watch, even though his feet sometimes 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.400 would get him into bad situations, his strength would allow 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.280 him to recover. It would allow him to be able 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.200 to get a hand on a guy and then get 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.520 himself back into position because he was so strong. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.680 So, especially for a young guy learning the. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.799 NFL, dealing with with guys that are behemos and guys 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.200 that are that are quick, I think that's gonna be 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.800 an advantage for him starting out early, until he starts 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.240 to figure out some of those technique things. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.320 Yeah, you play, you play in a division with big 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.880 time defensive tackles, and you've got to be able to 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.360 handle what's going on in Philadelphia that the Giants and 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.240 the Commanders that this is this is exactly what you 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.480 need to to take on those types of players that 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.039 you know, Let's be honest, quarterbacks nowadays, with the way 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.560 the ball comes out, it's not always about the edge pressure. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.919 It's about things that happen in the middle of the pocket, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:07.680 you know, and if you're not good enough in the 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.640 middle of the pocket, defenses find ways to attack. 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:11.040 You a gap. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.840 And when they attack you a gap, your quarterback can 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.480 be in trouble if you're not ready for it. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.080 Yeah, I think we all agree this was a solid 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.360 pick for the Cowboys. I think the question that comes 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.120 out of this is going into the draft, were the. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:23.840 Right or wrong? 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.800 A lot of people mocked Matthew Golden wide receiver Texas 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.280 going to the Cowboys at twelve? Was this the right 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.280 decision from the standpoint of value of player? Obviously they 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.840 still need a wide receiver too. I think everybody agrees 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.880 with that, and that could have potentially been your wide 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:42.600 receiver too. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.720 But you get a guy who's very solid that you 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:45.560 think you can plug in. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.480 He plays immediately and he can play for the next 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.120 ten years at a very high level. Which was the 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.800 better option here from the standpoint of value. 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.440 Well, they told you which the better option was to 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.000 them because they clearly and we've talked about it on 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.679 these platforms, are in Dallas, Cowboys dot Com and myself 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.600 on our show at Night, is that they thought that 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.400 it wasn't as clear cut to them. It wasn't McMillan 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.440 and Golden or even a Buca. It was you know, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.600 there was there was possibly McMillan, and then there was 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.880 a gap. You know, as a rookue, he's even part 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.600 of that. There's a gap between you know, where they 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.640 were going to take some guys there, you know, and 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.600 a lot of that, you know, and I I know 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.640 with like I said, we've watched I talk and I 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.000 take a lot of blame for talking. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.160 About receiver receiver, receiver receiver. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.160 In actuality, they were talking about let's just put our 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.320 board together and draft our board. Where I might have said, listen, 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.319 Golden's the guy you need to do this, you need 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.920 to you know. No, they they had a clear gap 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.480 and I and I get on them about hey or 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.480 I asked them, please just draft your board, just draft 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.440 your board, and they did so. To me, you know, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.400 is it the right decision? Yeah, they don't have a 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:58.079 right guard. And I nothing against Hoffman or TJ. Bass 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.320 or anybody else is going to play over there. But 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.840 you got a guy that will play ten twelve years 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:03.640 now and play at. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:04.760 A very very high level. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.360 And is you know, in your biggest investment is your quarterback, 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.400 and is there going to be a lack of mobility 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.079 with your quarterback? You need to keep the front of 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.520 the pocket clean. Yeah, it's if he's on his back. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.800 It doesn't matter him throwing them to Golden or anybody else. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.439 It's not gonna work. You gotta find a way. They 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.560 drafted their board, you know, and there clearly was a 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.319 gap between what we thought with McMillan and any other 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.760 receiver that was on that board. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.640 Something else to think about, too, Brian, is Dak is 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.760 older now and think about the moves that they may win. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.880 Romo got a little older, all right. Tony used to 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.239 throw the ball forty times a game and throw it everywhere. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.960 We were winning our best football when Tony was throwing 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.800 a twenty five just thirty times a game. Right, give 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.920 the ball to Murry and pound people up front. So 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.880 you know, yeah, Booker's going to be about keeping Dak safe. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.559 But this is also about we're going to run the 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.000 ball more. And if you're keeping Dak safe and you're 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.439 throwing the ball less, why receiver two is a knee. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.640 But maybe it's less of a need than what Raguar 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.720 would be and this tells you what they think about 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.600 Hoffman and look shouts out to hoffin Man. Hoffan does everything, 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.840 he does his job and no disrespect to him. But 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.880 last year, when Hoffman was projected to be the center, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.280 we win, got a center that was powerful. And this 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.360 year when he was projected to be the right guard, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.520 we went and got a right guard that was powerful. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.719 But I think Hoffman will be around. You know, you 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.679 need these guys, you need ten or eleven offensive line. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.760 But just as much as wide receiver was in need, 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.760 they looked at the right guard and said that that 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.320 was in need as well, and they just thought Booker 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:29.160 was a better dude. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.880 Yeah, I definitely think you still obviously need a wide receiver. Yeah, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.439 the way that you look at how they went about it, 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.520 I think that they're sticking with exactly what they've been 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:46.079 saying since Brian Schottenheimer took over. He's emphasized the need 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.400 of returning that running game, establishing the run, and that's 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.360 where it all starts. You have to have a solid 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.040 offensive line that is able not only to protect Dak 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.280 because again remembering that he's returning from that injury, but 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.840 also be able to create a running game. Create those 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.040 gaps for those guys. And we've seen the best football 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.320 that has been played here has been when you have 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.800 a very solidified offensive line, and I think that's where 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.200 it starts and what they're trying to do here. So 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.400 I'm not mad about them going for a guy like him. Actually, 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.520 and even after he got here and the way that 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.280 he speaks and everything that he said, I'm even more impressed. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.280 And you look at the press conference the way that 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.120 Jerry Steven and even Brian Seldon Haimer were looking at him. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.600 While they look like proud Brian looking at him. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.280 They had that proud Bryan. Yeah. Yeah. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.480 So it's exciting. It's exciting to see that they're doing 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.040 exactly what they've said they're wanting to do, and it's 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.240 starting to take some shape and form quickly. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.600 No, something that just bothers me is I'm just looking 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.439 all over the league and I say, boy, Josh Allen 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.200 just won a big time game. He only threw the 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.640 ball fifteen times. Yeah, or Jalen hurts through for one 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.880 hundred and fifteen rushows, they blew somebody out. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:57.640 How did this happen? 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.920 They're taking pressure off of their court now when it's 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.400 for your quarterback to win, they'll go win and Dak 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.000 can't do that. That's proven to you that he can 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.840 get into a shootout and throw the ball fifty times 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.160 and put points on the board. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:07.880 He can do that. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.479 But I get jealous when I see these other quarterbacks 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.760 that get the credit. Jimmy Garrappolo won a conference championship 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.880 game throwing the ball eleven times, and they say, boy, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.760 Jimmy Grapplo went out there and won a playoff game. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:19.680 That doesn't get that. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.720 So I'm excited that hopefully this year, next year, whatever happens, 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.360 that will hopefully start winning games like that. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.040 Yeah, they're They've been very clear. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.560 You look at what they've done in the coaching hires 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.800 that they've made with Clayton Adams and Connor Riley all 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.160 the way to this pick with Booker. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:33.960 They are. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:35.880 I was telling somebody the other day, I was like, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.679 for the first time in a little while, I feel 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:43.720 like there is a clear, a very clear strategic path, 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.880 Like they know what they want to do, and they 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.080 are doing exactly what they want to do, and I 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.760 think it's all go to line out. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:50.880 In them being able to run the ball. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.760 And now we will see if they have the running 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.240 backs to be able to do the things that they 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.440 want to do. They've got some guys in this draft 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.400 we'll talk about a little later that we think have 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.719 some potential. But all that being said, it is very 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.880 clear strategically what they want to do, and that is 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.199 to be able to run the ball effectively, and I 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.480 think they're they're putting all the pieces in place to 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.240 be able to do that. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:10.400 We're going to take our first break. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.280 When we come back, we'll jump into the second day 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.120 of the NFL Draft, talk about the second and third 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.520 round picks and what those players mean to this team 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.079 or can mean to this seane Next year in twenty 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.200 twenty five, we'll talk about what come BA Dallas Cowboys 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:21.760 dot Comray deal. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.040 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.040 Cheetah Savannah.

I don't know why, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.360 but I'm losing my voice if weekend, I guess I 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:18.960 don't know all those hours. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:24.080 This segment brought to you by. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.240 Right I. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.760 Did not talk as much as you well. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.040 This segment is brought to you by blockchain dot Com. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:35.840 Let's talk some more. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:36.200 Draft. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:37.720 Let's get into the second round. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.680 Cowboys draft Edge Donovan as a ROKU from Boston College, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.800 shad out to the Queues. And here's the interesting thing 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.960 about him. Everything suggests to me from what I've seen, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.320 from what I've read, the film I've watched, that this 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.560 is a really, really, really great player. He was second 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.000 in in all of college football with regards to the 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.720 number of sacks, and if I heard the correct he 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.440 was first in overall pressures in college. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.439 Well, I thought I heard that's. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:05.919 Sixteen Saxon about forty pressures. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.280 Yeah, that all being said, why was he available in 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:09.880 the second round? 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.280 He's six y two and Derrick, this is your first 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.480 time hearing me say this in Ambar as well. Teams 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.040 suck at drafting. Teams aren't very good. 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:18.680 I've heard you say, because I listen to the draft shops. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.439 Team teams aren't good at this. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.199 And I think sometimes teams have their own measurables and 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.520 they'll overthink things and they'll go, well, he's two hundred 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.879 and forty pounds. That may not fit the metric that 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.800 we're looking for. We want to get a guy like 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.800 Mike Keil Williams who doesn't get sacks in the league, 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.480 but at least he's about two eighty and he's tall. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.040 But the Cowboys have a type and they love arm 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.320 length and Donovan has those has those long arms, brown 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.480 like thirty three inch arms I believe in. And you 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.760 see that shine in his pass rushing and he's a 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.119 dude that knows how to pass rush right now. And 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.840 I just personally feel that if you get sacks in college, 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.439 then you will get sacks in the league. He's not 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.640 a guy that we're gonna sit around and just wait 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.119 on him to pick up pass rushing. He's ready to 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.879 go right now. He's solid in the run game for 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.600 his size. I don't think he would be a Day 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.359 one run defender right now because the Cowboys have have 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.040 run defenders right now. Marshall Niland will be doing run 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.560 defending things right now. But as far as your NASCAR package, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.440 I call the end game, Uh, you got Donovan, Micah, 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.240 Dante Sam if he gives you anything, you you you 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.480 have a lot of names you could just throw at quarterbacks. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:18.600 Yeah, this is uh. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.199 You know when him and Mike Green from Marshall who 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.399 ended up going later in the draft beat, you know, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.200 because of some of the things that he was dealing 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.480 with on a personal level and stuff. And the Ravens 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.760 I think got a heck of a pick there. But 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.919 the thing about it, he was one of if you 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.680 ab dua Carter was like the number one guy in 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.399 a lot of folks spoorts and then all of a sudden, Hey, now, 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.040 now tell me who the next best pass rushers are. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.720 You know, Donovan was one of these guys. He was 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.280 clearly into that, into that way. And you know when 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.479 you watched him play, the ability to to bend the corner, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.480 to attack the shoulder, to get low, to finish where 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.640 the quarterback is, the fact that they move him around, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.399 he stands up, hand down, left side right. You can 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.359 put them at mike linebacker. This is very much like 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.800 what they do with Michael Parsons in that type of player. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:07.320 And he was. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:08.160 He was one of the. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.119 Top three pass rushers in this draft. And sometimes the 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.600 draft GUIDs do smile on you. And this is another 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.359 example I think of Dallas. We didn't go into this 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.600 talking about, oh, they're going to draft an edge. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:20.760 We really didn't. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.120 We were talking about a lot of at forty four, 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.840 we were talking about the possibly of a one technique 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.879 defensive tackle. We're talking about running backs. Maybe a cornerback 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.320 was in play here, wasn't the edge rusher. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:32.520 Though. 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.159 This is another great example of them sticking to that 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.800 board and drafting the best player on it. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:37.920 Where's you have on yours? 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.159 He was number twenty six. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.879 Twenty Did you give him first round grade? No, that 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.240 would be second because he had fifteen first round You 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.200 had eighteen first round yeah, fifteen. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.280 First round grades. Yeah, so I had him at twenty six. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.720 It's funny how the Cowboys drafted for me in reverse order, 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.119 Like their first player was my third best player, the 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.879 second was the second, and then the third was I had. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.359 I had a revel as a as a number twelve 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.840 on my board, so they went in reverse order of 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:06.719 how I would have had it. 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.520 Well, again, it just goes to show that just like 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.360 you said, they're sticking, they stuck to their board, They 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.800 stuck to the type of homework and due diligence that 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.800 they had done in preparation to this and went for 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.600 a guy that, like you said, Brian, I was not 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.720 expecting a defensive end whatsoever for them to draft in 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.199 the second round. I was looking at again, wide receiver 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:34.080 and those positions they're running back especially, but not a 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.560 guy like him. But then you start watching him and 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.760 you're like Okay, yeah, this makes sense. Okay, I see why. Yeah, 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.520 So I think again, he has that type of physique 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.560 that the Cowboys like and that will be impactful. And 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.320 I think you start throwing him into the mix, they're 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.040 gonna ease him into action. But the combination of a 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.960 guy like him with everybody else, especially Micah, I think 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:01.720 can be very very powerful. 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:03.639 One of the things that stands out to me. 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.800 You look back at twenty twenty three, I think the 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.480 Cowboys had, in my opinion, the best, if not one 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.040 of the best pass rushes in the NFL. They lost 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.040 Durrance Armstrong, they lost Dante Fowler. Now going into twenty 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.120 twenty five, they also lose Tank Clarence, They lose Chauncey Golston. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.360 They now have Azaraku, Sam Williams will be coming back 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.320 from injury. Marshawn Neeland, who did some things last year. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:26.919 I don't think it was a bad year for him 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.640 as a first year player with the injury that he had. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.200 You get Dante Fowler back, Do you guys think they 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.399 are back now from the standpoint of the horses that 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.800 they had in twenty twenty three? Are they back now 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:39.640 from the standpoint of the bodies they need in order 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.160 to have that kind of effective pass rush. Obviously Michael 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:43.760 Parson's being the main stay there. 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:47.560 If you dress, if you dress the six of the 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.760 ten for a game, then, like you say, we'll see 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:52.679 what happens. I mean, you got a couple of guys 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:57.199 with Turner and Niland that are better run defenders, and 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.720 then you've got four legitimate pass rush guys. They could 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.600 come at you that way. And so yeah, I I 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:07.320 like I like the combination. Uh there was it always 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.560 you know, was you got to think about, Okay, what 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.040 are the guys that are going to play left in 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:12.720 who's going to play when you know a lot of 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.840 teams are right handed and when they run the football, 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.399 are you going to have some people over that? I 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.280 think they protected themselves, like I say, Neil, And as 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.480 you mentioned, Derek was getting better as a pass rusher 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.800 until he got hurt. And then once he got hurt, 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:25.879 then you know he had to kind of restart things 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.359 all over again, missing that time. But him and Turner 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.840 on that left side, and then now you mix and 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:35.600 match the others, you know with with Micah, Yeah, you're 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.720 back to that level. I really liked what I saw 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.399 from Fouler last year playing from the Commanders, Yeah, he 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.320 played well, yeah, it was it was more than that. 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:45.160 He double ditch. 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.399 I think he had ten. 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.280 It's ten and a half, so yeah, to me, that's 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:55.040 he was actually playing the run pretty well. So that 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.119 that that right, there is a bonus as well. So 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.959 if you're going to dress six uh six linemen are 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.639 six ends every week, two of them could play the 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.040 adge against the run and then you got the other 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:07.520 four that can get after you. 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.240 What'll be different is sometimes Tank Lawrence would find himself 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.720 on the field just because he's Tank Lawrence, but he 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.560 wasn't pass rush guy, but seniority would just have him 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.720 on the field in some kind of way. I don't 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.000 think the Cowboys are gonna fall for that this year. 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.120 I think they got pass rushers in their pass rush 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.200 category and they got to run guys, and if it's 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.920 a NASCAR type situation, I don't think you're gonna see 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:29.640 Tanker on the field. I actually looked up the number. 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.639 Donovan has sixty pressures. Sixty that's a lot. Yes, it's 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.080 a ton, and it's not like he's pressure guy and 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:36.680 he's not getting sacks. He still has six he and 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.280 to have sex to account for. So you know, Donovan 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:43.160 being a rookie in a pure pass rush role, that'll 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:45.160 definitely work for him. Shout out to you, Donovan, day one, 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.160 you will be ready. But if Sam gives you anything, 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.000 what's the number? If Sam gives you eight sacks, seven sacks. 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:53.880 If Sam gives you give me six, well play sacks, 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.240 I'm good. I'll celebrate. I'll celebrate Sam being your fourth 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.600 guy giving you six sacs. So I think they had 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:04.119 the opportunity to be better than that crew, but we 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.280 just have to see all Let's. 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.520 Talk about the third round pick. Cowboys pick up a cornerback, 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.200 a Savonne Revel out of East Carolina, and he missed 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.240 most of last year with an injury for those that 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.800 don't know, but how much do you think that injury 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.240 is going to affect his ability to be able to 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:22.199 play immediately? Because I think for the Cowboys, particularly at 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.680 the cornerback position, one of the challenges for them is 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.040 what's going to happen early. You already got Trayvon Diggs 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.040 coming back from an injury. What do you think is 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:30.960 the prospect that he'll be ready to play early in 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.520 the season when you probably will need that kind of reinforcement. 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:35.399 This is one of my favorite players in the draft, 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.720 and if he had not had the knee injury, he 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:42.159 would be the top corner likely off the board. His length, 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:47.800 his reach is incredible. The thing that got me excited 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.040 about him as a player is a couple of things. 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:55.080 I know doctor Dan Cooper and how what a outstanding 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.719 surgeon he is, and how he puts these players back together, 0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:59.560 you know. I mean there's several of them, and there's 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.960 people in the National Football League other teams that come 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.280 and see doctor Cooper and let him do the knee 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:07.120 searcheres because he's that damn good. You're in a situation 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.560 too with Britt Brown, and I've worked with Britt for 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.240 fourteen fifteen years. I know what he could do to 0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.679 get guys back on the field. This guy has a 0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.560 tremendous attitude, He has a tremendous work ethic. He wants 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.600 he wants it very badly. And you pair him up 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:23.760 with a guy like Britt Brown who will push him. 0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.520 And he's been working here in Dallas, you know, on 0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:28.520 his rehab stuff, and now Britt's going to get a 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:30.720 chance to have him out on the field and working 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.960 with him every day, I would say this thing is 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:35.440 probably going to be more sooner than later about him 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.720 and his ability to come back and be and once 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.520 again play at a very high level. This guy is long, 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.800 he's rangy, he's physical. There was a game where you 0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.159 watch him play against Michigan where the ball goes on 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.280 the goal line and you're thinking it's going to be 0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:52.560 a touchdown and he steps up at the two yard line, 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.200 meets the back on the edge and drives the back 0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:59.439 back into and for no gain. Sometimes these corners just 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.720 give up, give it the matador, the ola, whatever. This 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.679 kid's not that way. There's a lot of toughness in 0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:09.240 his body and he's a very determined player. I think 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.000 they stole one here, I really really do. And I 0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.480 think that that again, it's about your board. It was 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.560 where they had him on the board. This was my 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:22.479 twelfth best player overall. With the injury. I loved watching 0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.399 this kid play and I said, you listen, I know 0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.040 doctor Cooper. I know he's going to fix this kid, 0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.159 and wherever he goes, he's going to be okay. He 0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:32.120 just happened to show up in my backyard, and I'm 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:33.000 really happy about it. 0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.560 Yeah, this is the best value pick that the guy 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:39.240 was made in this draft, and a guy like him, 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:41.879 I mean I expected something like this more inc with 0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:46.280 that second round pick, because that's historically what the coup 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.680 was do in the second round. And then they picked 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.159 Don't event and I'm like, Okay, made it out of 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.160 that one. And then we go and draft a guy 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:59.439 like him, and I'm like, if I'm being honest, my 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.920 thing is, yeah, I'm all for a good recovery story. 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.000 But if I pick you, I want you healthy and 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:10.440 ready to play. Now ready to go. But again, everything 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.560 that you just said, Brian, Obviously, the Cowboys are not 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:17.639 just randomly picking guys. They do all the work that 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.760 they need to do, and especially trusting the doctor that 0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:23.960 he had the surgery with, they have a good understanding 0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:28.040 of everything that went on with that injury. And he's 0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.560 expected to be ready, hopefully by training camp or beginning 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.959 of week one of the season, so it's not like 0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.920 he's expected to be out the whole season. He will 0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.520 be able to at least contribute at some point this year. 0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.440 I would imagine that we get a chance to see 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:43.640 him on the field for sure. 0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:46.679 I think sooner than later with him his demeanor and 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:51.160 Britt's determination. That is a very good combination right there. 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:53.439 We see what Britt was able to do with overshown 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:58.399 and others. You know, he's really good at this rehab stuff, 0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.399 and you know he understand you know, Brett knows the 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.959 importance of that. We're a little down right now here 0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.320 at corner. They got to get this guy ready. There 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:09.000 can't be any questions about him being ready for the season. 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.080 It's got to be. Hey, we got to get him 0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:13.520 ready for week one to go out there and be 0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:14.200 ready to play. 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.040 You know, just as a college player, just as a prospect. 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.480 He's better than what Digs was. He's better than what 0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.280 Bland was. Now it matters when you get to the league, 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.960 you know, because they know he has not played it 0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:27.600 down yet, so I don't want to put that on him. 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.119 But just watching his film versus those those guys, just 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:35.439 height weight, coming up and tackling speed like man covers, 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.679 zone covers, whatever you want to do. He didn't have 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.640 a lot of picks because he was dropping Brian bro Is. 0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:41.400 Just watching this film, he'll get close to those picks. 0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:43.200 We just wouldn't hold on to him. Hey, man, what 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:43.960 is coaching for. 0:28:44.160 --> 0:28:45.040 You know what I mean, fix up? 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:48.880 You know we're machines for right, put him on. 0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:52.280 The jugs, Brian. But Revel, I think this is where 0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.360 me and Brian disagree a little bit, because knees are tricky, 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:58.080 and he plays corner cornerback's knee those So what I 0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.800 would have wanted if the Cowboys were to double up anywhere, 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:03.400 I would have wanted them to draft another corner so 0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:05.360 that now we could at least go all right, Rebel, 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.200 if you show up to training camp and you are 0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.760 who you are, good, but just in case you're not, 0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.000 we'll have another guy that we could play, and we 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:14.160 can just bring you along at your own pace, and 0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.320 then maybe year two and year three you would be 0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.600 who you are. And one more thing that kind of 0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:20.680 bothers me about this is I've been waiting for this 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.680 big three at corner for so long, but guys just 0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:26.600 keep getting hurt here. We never get the all three 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:28.640 corners on the field the same time, even wide receiver. 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.720 But I think Rebel's gonna be Digs insurance for the walls. 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:33.800 Well, let me tell you this, I'm more concerned about 0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:36.600 Diggs than I am Rebel. Yeah, for sure, that's just 0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:39.800 being honest right there. I mean, that's you know, when 0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.120 you start to talk about how to come back and 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.480 get back and be ready to go. I have more 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.320 concerned about Digs than I do the other kid. 0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:48.040 Well, I think from the way they're looking at it, 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.760 to your point, Vatch, I think they're thinking that Elam 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.320 is that guy that gives them that kind of insurance 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:57.160 in case Rebel isn't ready to go immediately. Whether that 0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:58.960 proves to be true or not, who knows, but I 0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:00.800 think that's how they at least will look at it. 0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:03.360 And as you say, Brian, I know you you're a 0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:06.520 big fan of Kaylen Carson. There's still of hope that 0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.320 that he's going to develop and that the injury was 0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:11.640 more of what we saw last year that that maybe 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.000 that's why he didn't develop in the way they wanted 0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.800 to throughout the year, more so than than him just 0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:18.760 not developing. So I think they're gonna they have hopes 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:20.600 for both of those guys. I know hope is not 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.640 a strategy, but I think they have hope. I know, 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.719 but that but that's that's how they're thinking about it, 0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:27.400 and and so when they look at it, they may 0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.920 say hey, we we got one corner. We'll add him 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:31.560 to the mix of the other guys we got and 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.880 hopefully one of these guys steps into that role at 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:37.440 least until Dix can be back. All right, let's talk 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.000 about Actually, let's take our final break. When we come back. 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:42.600 After we take our break, let's talk Texas football.

In 0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:31.800 that WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star, Let's talk. Fifth round, 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:37.440 Cowboys select running back Jayden Blew out of Texas Longhorns. 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:39.520 What do you guys think? What do you think of 0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.239 the pick? And and where he fits? Immediately, I'll tell 0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:46.040 you what I think. First of all, he is a guy. 0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:50.040 I look at him and my my my standard for 0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:51.600 him because I think some people are like man, he 0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:54.560 never really started at Texas. The thing about is Texas 0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.080 has so much talent at this point, it's kind of 0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:58.440 like a Georgia Bama these other things, like you can 0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:00.520 have a deep room. I think to Shark Choice, who 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:03.440 was their coach in college, put out this picture of 0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:05.080 the bench and you could see it from the back, 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.880 and they had all five running backs that were at 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:09.800 there at the time, all the way up to b 0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.320 John Robinson and they all are now in the NFL. 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.840 I look at this very similar to what happened with 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.400 Priest Holmes coming out of Texas. When I was at school, 0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:19.640 Priest Holmes was there and Preece Holmes was a He 0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:21.640 was an extra guy. He didn't really do a whole 0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:24.600 lot of Texas he went undrafted, he went in, and 0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.000 the rest is history with what he did in Kansas City. 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:28.839 I think Jayden. 0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:31.480 Blue has the kind of skill that makes him an 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:35.560 interesting prospect. He's extremely fast. He's actually not what you 0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:37.319 typically you think of a bass guy. You think he's 0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:40.080 just out running everybody to the outside. That's not his game. 0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:42.640 He actually runs up the gut quite a bit. But 0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:45.440 he's quick with It's not just speed, it's quickness. He 0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:49.520 knows how to move and maneuver football player with track speed. Yeah, yeah, 0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.239 really is, and so he can do a lot. He 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:53.440 can he can catch the ball well out of the backfield. 0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:55.960 I think all the way around, this is a really 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:57.759 really good player that you're able to get in the 0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:00.399 fifth round. It just speaks to again what all said 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.320 and what you guys have been saying the whole draft season. 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:06.000 This was a very, very very deep running back class. 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:08.000 To get somebody of this caliber in the fifth round. 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.359 Yeah, when we had a chance to talk to you know, 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:15.360 coach Adams about the you know, I asked him the question, 0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.640 what are you looking for in a running back in 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:21.680 this scheme? And the one thing he said was contact balance. 0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:24.040 This kid right here is one of the best in 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:28.080 the nation when it came to contact yards after contact, 0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:31.680 and you could see him just his ability to break 0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:33.080 people down in. 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.880 Space where that movie just pounced somebody. 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:37.839 Yeah, you know, he he was one of the best 0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:39.680 in the country when it came to He would get 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:41.799 hit behind the line of scrimmage and still manage three 0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.759 and a half yards of carry after getting hit. So 0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.480 he has that kind of ability to make people miss. 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:52.680 He is outstanding when it comes to his ability to 0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:55.319 run inside to show toughness. You know, he's not a 0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.720 small guy. He's five ninety's one hundred and ninety six pounds. 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:01.840 That's a thick guy. You know, he's he's he's not 0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:03.839 one of these guys you just have to worry about 0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.200 the wear and tear on him. Is is you know, 0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:08.359 I don't think that's going to be a problem. The 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:11.279 questions that people have always had about him is the 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:15.080 ball security. That's the thing, and you wonder is this 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.359 something that he's going to have to deal with. You know, 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:21.520 my own personal experience as a former person pro personnel 0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.799 guy and an advanced scout, if I knew there was 0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.239 a player that you could try and knock the ball 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.920 out of his hands and attack the ball or tackle 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:32.319 the ball, and he was going to give it up. 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:34.560 This is something that this kid is going to fight 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:37.000 with and he's going to have to prove to people 0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:41.040 that the ball security is not a problem. And once 0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:43.120 he does that, then you'll get people to kind of 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.319 to stay away from that. But his reputation as being 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.399 a guy that has toughness, but the ball security could 0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:49.960 be the question. 0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:52.000 That's the one thing that I think kept him. 0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:54.600 Down the board a little bit was the fact that 0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:58.080 he that would happen to him. And if people are 0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:00.160 going to try and tackle the ball on him, if 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.160 they have success, teams are going to continue to try 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:04.960 and tackle the ball on him. That film will not 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:05.480 go away. 0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:07.800 Also, two Cowboy fans, hear me out, we don't have 0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.680 a wire receiver too. I understand, don't get upset, but 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.000 we have a Jaden Blue and he will catch a 0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.120 ton of passes. He's not a pass catching running back 0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:17.879 in a way of I'm gonna run a Texas route, 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:19.319 I'm gonna run a swing, that's it. 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:20.200 He will line up a. 0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:22.960 Slot, he will run cons, he will run posts, he 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.680 will set linebackers in watch the Clemson game and he 0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.840 will throw head fakes at you, hand fakes at you. 0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.960 He will run all types of routes looking for different 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.399 mismatches or whatnot. And and I think that's where he's 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:36.239 really going to excel. Shouts out the Deuce man. Deuce 0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:37.799 is gonna have to, you know, fight for his life 0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:39.880 a little bit because Deuce was a pass catcher, but 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:41.400 a little bitty jade. 0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:41.680 You know. 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:44.080 Jay Dunn is a little taller, he's a better pass rusher, 0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.600 He's a little thicker than Douce, So, uh, he's gonna 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.200 have the edge there. But I don't think you're gonna 0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:52.800 be missing a whole bunch of running back you know. Uh, 0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:55.200 you know pass attempts with him. I mean, he's gonna 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:56.840 be taking it. And then once he catches it, he 0:37:56.920 --> 0:37:59.560 turns into a four to two guy again and catch 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:00.960 real quick. 0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:03.000 Derek, if I could, you know, the whole thing with 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.799 the second wide receiver, there's clearly yeah, you would love 0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:08.160 to be able to address that somehow, some way, whether 0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:11.640 it's a trade, free agent signings, there's there's opportunities. You know, 0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.080 you talk to people in the organization, they'll tell you, hey, 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:15.920 we're looking at a lot of wide receivers. I'm very 0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:18.560 encouraged by that part of it all. But now if 0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:21.480 you find a way you get Blue involved, you got Lamb, 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:23.880 how about Jake Ferguson as well. Can you get a 0:38:23.920 --> 0:38:25.600 bounce back from Jake Ferguson as well? 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:27.400 Can you mix in Cavante turn and you mix in 0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:28.200 Turpin as well. 0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.839 So hopefully you'll have ways to distribute the ball and 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.200 make up for But I do believe they are going 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:37.360 to go get a receiver that somehow, some way that 0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.080 you know, and you've also got you know, June one cuts. 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:41.680 You know, you want to be able to have to 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:44.919 have the ability to have the finances to be able 0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:47.200 to go if somebody does get cut, that you can 0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:48.880 go get them and put them, make them part of 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:50.919 the roster. I I don't think we're I don't think 0:38:51.000 --> 0:38:54.080 they're they've they've they're done by any means trying to 0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:55.680 add weapons to this football team. 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.040 Just that though, like that makes me happy that they're 0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.520 at least aware that wide receiver tool in need. Like 0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:03.560 if we're not hearing anybody talk about, like there's no 0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.040 reports about them looking at wide receiver too, would I 0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.080 would be befuddled and the Cowboys will do it. They'll 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:10.000 look us right behind and be like, hey, me going 0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.880 tober does it step up? And that'll be what simmy, 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:14.600 Simmy got a step up, y'all, like like they've been 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:18.200 telling you, it happens. So the fact that there are 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:21.399 reports saying, hey, the Cowboys are looking into it, chill out, 0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:22.719 that makes me chill out a little bit. 0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:27.839 I mean, I guess you guys described them pretty well. 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:28.680 I talk about them. 0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:36.120 You're good. But just like you guys said, he's a 0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:40.000 very versatile guy. And I love the fact that he 0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:41.920 can catch the ball. But I'm not gonna lie. It 0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:43.640 does give me a pit in my stomach when I 0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:46.520 do see some of those highlights where he does lose 0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:50.839 the ball, Because we've seen that happen here, and I 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:54.000 don't think that's something that you can easily correct. It's 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.640 gonna take some time for him to improve in that area. 0:39:56.760 --> 0:40:00.319 So that's definitely something to be extremely aware of, and 0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.759 hopefully this coaching staff is able to give him the 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.840 right training to improve in that, but it will be 0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:08.200 something that will take a little bit. 0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:11.320 Yeah, I think they fixed it on on the program, 0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:12.880 so I think they just might need to do some 0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:15.520 of that, and maybe that when all of y'all's head, 0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:17.480 do y'all not watch did y'all not watch the program. 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.440 I was born? 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:21.520 I think I. 0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:26.200 Don't think it was necessarily a fumble alert. 0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.239 I just think that he forgets that he needs to 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.120 keep it hind tight sometimes and when he's trying to 0:40:30.880 --> 0:40:35.480 extra well, Murray was a fumbler, like he like will 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:39.080 be Green Bay or whatever. He'll just he'll know that 0:40:39.120 --> 0:40:41.400 he's higding. You'll see Demark or Murray have the ball 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.520 high and tight. And if you're saying he had the technique, 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:46.480 he just he just fumbled and it could but the. 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:48.280 Result is the same. The ball is on the ground 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:48.839 either way. 0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.960 But I guess that's but what I'm saying, Like jay 0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.399 Nun has the ball down here, and when he does 0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.040 his you know, flipping and running things, you know, it 0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:58.960 kind of loosens up a little bit. I think you 0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:02.280 can beat ball like high and tight into him, like being. 0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:03.760 High technique basically. 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:06.760 And it could have been his big old muscles. 0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.920 I don't know what was making him fumbling football, but 0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.200 Murray could not stop putting the ball on the ground. 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:12.160 It was not dead as as fault. 0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:14.319 Yeah, I will tell you this, and I'm just being 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:17.600 fair as a cow, as a Texas Texas fan who 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.200 watched all those games, there was a point in the 0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:22.200 season where you were kind of like every time he 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.680 got the ball, you were like, because you were like, 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:28.239 good things could happen, bad things could happen, right, It 0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:30.000 just so, it was. It was a problem. 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:32.279 It certainly was if they had a rotation of some 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:37.160 outstanding backs. Wonder like late in the season, did the 0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.879 coaching staff there determined that, Listen, we as much as 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.520 we love throwing him the ball and handing him the ball, 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.759 is there that that thread of him maybe putting the 0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:49.040 ball on the ground. Derek, correct me if I'm wrong. 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:51.840 I don't remember the Washington game in the playoffs? Was 0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:53.799 that a? It was a fumble one? 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.879 I know, yeah there was a big, big game where 0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.120 he had a big fun but I can't remember Washington. 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.879 YEA, so to me that I think it was. But yeah, 0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:03.719 that's that to me is the only thing wrong with 0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:07.000 this player. I agree that you watch him with when 0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:10.120 he can make you, he could punish you, and I 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:12.080 mean punish you in the way of making you miss 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:15.440 and making huge plays. This guy's a finisher. I mean, 0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:17.960 you hand him the ball, he could score from anywhere 0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:19.960 on the field. He's got that kind of speed. 0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:23.000 Yep, yep, all right, we only have a couple more 0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:24.640 minutes here, so real quick. I wanted to get you 0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:28.600 guys thought on fifth round pick linebacker Shamar James out 0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:31.120 of Florida or your thoughts on him and what can 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:34.640 he contribute to What I think is again another position 0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:36.880 that has, because of what they did in free agency, 0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:38.640 become pretty deep. I don't know if they have a 0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:40.880 lot of great players, but I think they got a 0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:41.960 lot of good players. 0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:42.560 What does he fit? 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:45.120 I wasn't the biggest fan of him. You know, when 0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:49.280 I'm watching linebackers, I like to see you know, running, hitting, 0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:51.920 and like processing. I don't want to see you lost 0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.279 out there, and James got lost a little bit. 0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:54.480 You know. 0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:57.440 I don't think he'll fit you as a Mike linebacker 0:42:57.480 --> 0:42:59.680 type guy. But I gotta go back and watch and 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:02.040 see how the Cowboys look at him, because they look 0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:05.080 at him as a will pass rushing guy. So what 0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:06.600 I need to do is go to the film and 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:09.200 just ignore all the you know, this linebacker thing, this 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:11.719 linebacker thing, and just think about him as a pass 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:15.000 rushing will linebacker guy, and maybe that's why they like 0:43:15.080 --> 0:43:16.959 him so much, But just me watching him, he gets 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:21.240 lost a bunch. If it's any any kind of misdirection motion, 0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:24.080 he's lost. He's gone and he and he's guessing. And 0:43:24.120 --> 0:43:25.759 I don't want to see guys guessing because if you 0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:27.000 guessing gamble, then. 0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:27.879 You're all the way wrong. 0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:31.080 But he's a He's sometimes the most athletic looking player 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:34.360 on that defense, and he didn't test that way, but 0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:37.400 just watching him run around, you can see the burst 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:40.560 and athleticism on him. So I'm gonna go back and 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:43.200 watch him with cowboy eyes. But just me watching him 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.080 initially and trading up for him, I didn't see a person. 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:48.080 Can I ask real quick before before we move on, please, 0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.040 when you say that, do you think that part of 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:51.760 it goes back to what you're talking about with fumbling. 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:54.440 If you're saying that, he looks lost a lot, especially 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.080 when you're in motion that kind of thing. He's got 0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.560 something that being in the NFL and being around professionals 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:01.719 and the right kind of coaching can get him right 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:03.319 in that way, because it is something you just have 0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:03.719 to learn. 0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:06.000 Though he has a lot of jobs that he will. 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:07.160 He will get there you go. 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:10.160 But if he's at will and you go, your only 0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:14.000 is first back out. Yeah, whatever, the first back out is, 0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:16.719 that's your job. If you narrow his job down, he's 0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:17.839 athletic enough to be decent. 0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:18.400 Way there we go. 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:19.360 Will linebacker. 0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:21.680 Let him be straight lined rush guy, because that's something 0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:24.480 he could absolutely do. His instincts, as Vosh says, are 0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:28.680 not always great. I don't these coaches talk about putting players, 0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:30.160 were about pen and poll. We don't got pen and 0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:32.719 poll lineman. We're not gonna pin and pull. So make 0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:35.200 this kid a will linebacker. Let him run to the ball, 0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:37.960 let him use this explosiveness, let him use his straight 0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:40.760 line speed. Don't put him a lot of coverage situations, 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.279 but figure out ways to kind of use play to 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:45.799 his strengths. Initially, I think that's what you have to do. 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:47.759 But the instincts were a little bit of a problem 0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:49.000 with him. When you watch this tape. 0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:53.040 Yeah, I think the one position that you absolutely need 0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:58.120 to have really great instinct is linebacker for sure. And 0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:01.040 he's a guy that at least I think the Cowboys 0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:04.640 did address a need like linebacker. We know that the 0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:07.600 Cowboys are dealing with the injuries there and the Marvio 0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:09.399 and Ovashaw not being there. So I think he does 0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:11.560 add the depth. He's not going to be a guy 0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:14.000 that I would expect to make any immediate impact, but 0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:16.759 you look at special teams and that's an area that 0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:21.120 he can definitely contribute at. But I do think this 0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:24.799 is more of a big of addressing a need rather 0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:27.480 than the guy that they mostly want. 0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:31.560 We've seen my guy, Damone Clark, and we all kind 0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.680 of think Damone Clark, Katy is a good looking player, 0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:37.239 why does he make more plays? He lacks instincts when 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:39.440 you don't find the ball. And we've had some of 0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:42.160 the best to ever find the ball here. Sean Lee's 0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:45.640 that win. We've had some guys here they can find 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:49.239 extra Cokeley, find the ball, get there, make plays, you know, 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.399 but we've also seen Damone Clark, and Damone Clark, as 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:55.480 good looking as he is, when you don't find the 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:57.759 ball well and you get lost that way, then that's 0:45:57.760 --> 0:45:58.600 a little bit of a problem. 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.600 All right, you guys join us. 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.040 You see what I mean.
