Speaker 1: seven up in Saint Louis Stars and Blues. You know,

10
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: sometimes he gets pulled away from this football stuff and

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: he gets to do that by the way he gets

12
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to get to I don't yeah, uh privilege. He didn't

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: seem too excited about doing it. I'd love to go

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: see a game seven like that. I've seen a couple

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: of games sevens in my day. I guess he wants

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: to hang with us. Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Yeah,

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: he just doesn't like hockey, and I don't think how

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: could you not like it? How can you not love

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080

00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: brought us across the table from me as always, welcome guys.

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: We got a big show planned for you. We're in

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: this purgatory right now, this middle ground of end of

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: draft and trying to get to some on the field stuff. Sure,

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: we're almost there. Good luck this weekend. I know right,

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: we're not. We're not going to get an actual chick

30
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: a few hands. It's more you're going to see some

31
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: football problem exactly. We're gonna watch some meetings on the

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: field when the rookies get in here. I think they

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: arrive Thursday, and they'll have a mini camp this weekend,

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Mick where meetings on Friday and Saturday. Yeah, pretty much.

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: They did this last year, and you know, in the

36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, it's probably smart to have more

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: orientation type style introduction for these guys. And if the

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: weather reports are accurate, they'll probably be indoors. Yeah, good

39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: thing about having indoors. What do we live in Florida lately?

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: What's the deal here with all the rain. It's good though,

41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: because in two months it won't rain a day exactly

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and three. You know, I think to me

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: when you talk about the way they handle these things nowadays,

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: I remember going back some of those Valley Ranch days

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: when Garrett first kind of started doing this, and were

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: there were some guys that just weren't ready for this. Yeah,

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: they weren't ready for the constant go, go, go go.

48
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: You know a lot of these kids they do the combine,

49
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: they work out for their pro day, and then they

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: get ready for the draft just doing nothing. And so now,

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're way way, way behind. If some of

52
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: the guys that have been doing these captain's workouts and

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and they've been on a job interview,

54
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: they have, and so I think it's really a smart

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: play by by coach Garrett the front office to let

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: these guys get some acclamation. Is that the right word?

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: I hope I use the right word, but yeah, to

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: come in at least you know understand, Okay, where's my locker,

59
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: where's the training room? Where do I eat? Where's the

60
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: meeting room? I mean, you know, these guys when they

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: brought him in. Initially there was a lot of throw

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot at him and see how they respond. And boy,

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: I tell you what, I don't think the I think

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: the return on that investment wasn't very good. And I

65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: think that's where they realized their fault and like, Okay,

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: we need to figure this out a better path and

67
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: allow some of these kids to have felt I felt

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: like when camp started last year, correct me if I'm wrong.

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, the rookie to be better suited for how

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: things were going to be. They were able to work

71
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: out beforehand, you know gets, you know, try and catch

72
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: up a little bit and then go about their job

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and trying to make this football team. So I applaud

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: them for doing it this way. If I was sitting

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: in that chair, I would be the first guy saying, hey,

76
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: well let's think about what we're doing here. Boys. It's

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: probably twenty years too late. The way they used to

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: work them out. You think about it, and it used

79
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: to be you got drafted Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and by

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Thursday you were here yea, and Friday you were going

81
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: through a full football workout. Friday, Saturday Sunday, no pads.

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: You put a helmet on, and guys were getting hurt

83
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh, they're not ready for

84
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: training camp. And the story of the day on Friday

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: would be after they ran them. Okay, who got sick?

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: Ban Yeah, Jess Bryant got says Bryant got sick. He's

87
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: not in shape. Well, yeah, surprise, because a lot of

88
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: times there's also guys you draft from northern climate come

89
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: down here and it's hot and it's ninety's. They don't

90
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: have enough bodies to run the drills, that's the thing.

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: And then you got coaches who haven't haven't coached anything

92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: since well this staff since the playoffs, So you get

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: coaches that are anxious to be on the field and hustle, hustle, hustle. Move,

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: let's faster, faster, move, you know, and then now you know, yeah,

95
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: you're evaluating. But man, its just it was really I

96
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: think it's set the kids back. I think it. You know,

97
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: if you again get them acclimated to what you want

98
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: them to do, if you want to play with the

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: tempo and practice, Okay, this is what we're gonna do.

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: These are the drills we're gonna do. At least when

101
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the when the veteran guys come on board. They won't

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: be just totally out of place. They'll be able to

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, follow Jason Witton, or follow you know,

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, or follow Ezekiel Elliott. You know, those the

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: things that will help these kids to kind of have

106
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: an understanding what the expectations are for him without being behind.

107
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to get a kid hurt in one

108
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: of these three day practices and all of a sudden

109
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't he's not able to work out for six

110
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: weeks because of a hamstring injury, right you know, And

111
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: we know how cautious these guys can be in rightfully, so,

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: so give these kids a chance to put their best

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: foot forward. I think the last couple of years that

114
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: they've done this, we've seen that be the kicks. Plus,

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: they didn't have enough to play football anyway, so you

116
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: had to bring it on a bunch of scrappies to

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: get on workouts to have enough to have eleven on eleven. Yeah,

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: that's the other thing about this. They don't they won't

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: bring in tryout guys here. They'll bring in their class

120
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: right rookie free agents that they've agreed to terms with

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: will sign and then their draft class and correct me

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. They used to have this camp and

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: then guys, the rookies would have to go back and

124
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: then come back here. I think they be here till

125
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: May fifteenth. So now they can have this camp stick around.

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: They get the foundation for really also the strength and

127
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: conditioning program, how they go about that right, and then

128
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: like you said, brian Ota start up in a couple

129
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: of weeks and the terns will be you know. And

130
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the other thing is is those guys didn't know how

131
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: to practice without pads on, so they played like they

132
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: had pads on, and they started getting hurt. Guys are

133
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: spraying their shoulders because they're diving for balls, or they're

134
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: getting going up and contesting passes falling to the ground.

135
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: The trainers hated it absolutely, and even the OTAs are

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: kind of sketchy sometimes too, with the contact that involves.

137
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: You know, we watched last week two weeks ago, the

138
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: touch football or flag football whatever tournament they had out here.

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Those guys were wearing helmets. Now, yeah, that's sort of

140
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: helmets kind of a new thing, like soft helmets, like

141
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: water polo helmets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, because

142
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna run into each other. It's gonna happen. So, yeah,

143
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: this is the smartest thing they've ever done. Basically have

144
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: meetings on the field and do walkthroughs. It's a good

145
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: group of guys. You know, we had a show since

146
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: they've announced the group of guys, the undrafted guys. Yeah,

147
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and you if you got to look at the whole

148
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: thing too, not just the class, exactly the guys that

149
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: they're going to bring in here off the street. Yeah.

150
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I was really impressing on Dallas Cowboys dot com. I've

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: been writing reports about these kids that were undrafted, and

152
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: I you know, there's gonna be some very competitive guys.

153
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Are not only guys that are gonna try and get

154
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: roster spots, but those practice squad spots are very competitive too,

155
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: because you have guys that are currently on the roster

156
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: that still have practice squad eligibility. Ken one of these

157
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, undrafted free agents make a roster, make the

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: fifty three. We've seen that happen before here. It's something

159
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: quite common. But you also with those practice squad spots

160
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: are very very valuable as well. So not only you're

161
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: playing for a couple of different things, but you're also

162
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: potentially playing for another job somewhere else, and hopefully you

163
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: keep the right guys. When it's all that said and

164
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: done well. Stephen Jones said it after the draft guys

165
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: that this might be one of the most competitive camps

166
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: he's seen in a lot of years. And when you

167
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: look at the roster, that's because they didn't have a

168
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: ton of turnover in free agency this year. Now next year,

169
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: they got a lot of decisions to make, and on

170
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: top of that, they covered themselves in free agent and

171
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: see and added some good young players. Right, there's a

172
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: lot of competition at a lot of spots, and we're

173
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: going to talk about that too, maybe naming some guys

174
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: that they're to step up here. They took fifteen guys

175
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: off their draft board. If you think about it, you know,

176
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: and then that's as rare as it gets. I mean,

177
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of a number, and I

178
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: know this is again I give Chris Hall. Will We

179
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: had Will mcclan the Draft show last week, and I

180
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: gave Chris Hall and that staff a lot of credit

181
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: for how they set their board up. Will even offered

182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: a little bit of insight if you didn't get a

183
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: chance to hear the Draft show with Will, and I

184
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: encourage you to go back and listen to it. We

185
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: have a podcasted for you that was great. But Will Thursday,

186
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Will was talking about though, that they have

187
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: a meeting before the draft, the actual draft, and sit

188
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: down and give priority to their six and seventh round guys.

189
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: So and that's a smart thing to do because even

190
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: if you know, you say, okay, what order would we

191
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: take these guys, say you have forty six seventh round

192
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: guys on your board. As they start coming off, okay,

193
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: maybe we'll down to ten, okay, and what priority would

194
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: do we need to go after these guys? If those

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: guys become available, and they they hammered that and that,

196
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: and then good for them. I mean, they got a

197
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: couple of guys off their board. And talking to some

198
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: folks that you know, that had that had high grades,

199
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: that had you know, fourth round grades, fifth round grades

200
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: on their board, if you're pulling a guy, you're pulling

201
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: players off your board that have fourth round grades. And

202
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Mitch Hyatt, the tackle from Clemson, and

203
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: talking to people around the league, they seem to think

204
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: that it was just a fact that maybe that Mitch

205
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Hyatt his first year at Clemson was what he was,

206
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: and then his second year he was the same. The

207
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: third year was kind of the same. He was an

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: All American player, but there was never that strength, that

209
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: strength improvement. I mean, I think there are a lot

210
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: of people the guys I were talking about, said, hey,

211
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: this guy deserved to be drafted, considering who was drafted

212
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: by some of the other you know, they sue falls

213
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: had a player drafted, no offense to that kid. But

214
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: Mitch Hyatt is a better He's played in national championship games,

215
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: big time football games. For them to out and get

216
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: guys like that, you know, as as undrafted free agents

217
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: that have fourth round grades on their board, those are

218
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: huge gets. You can't you know, that's just that's just

219
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: quality depth right there. What's on average, like from your experience,

220
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: how many guys on your board if would you get

221
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: in a draft, you might get three, you might get

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: three or four at best. I mean to get to

223
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: get to get seven out of that drafted, yeah, to

224
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: get but to get the quality, to get the quality

225
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: of what you're talking about, though, again, fourth fifth round guys,

226
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: that that's kind of an unheard of thing. To have happened. Now, either,

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: like I said on the Draft show and Will was

228
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: sitting right there, either they're gonna be really right or

229
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be really wrong. We'll see how it all

230
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: plays out, but I'm going to take my chances. If

231
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm getting guys off my draft board to come in

232
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: here as free agents to potentially making this football team

233
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: or at least filling out my practice squad the right way.

234
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: That means they dropped a lot. Yeah, the players, Yeah, yeah,

235
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: you know. It was a funny draft in that way.

236
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: It was funny. That was like there were some names

237
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: that were taken at spots that I didn't feel like that,

238
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: you know. And again this is they don't care, and

239
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm gonna stop. I'm talking about just not them.

240
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: The league doesn't care what my board or Danes board

241
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: or Jeff Cavanaugh's board looks like. But if you just

242
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: evaluate where they're at, you know, and where guys were taking,

243
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking that might have been a little

244
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: early for that guy. Oh that guy was drafted there,

245
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: or oh this guy was not drafted, he was drafted late.

246
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Oh that guy wasn't drafted at all. So everybody. There

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: was a there was a wide wide mix. I was

248
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: talking to you, my friend Steve Sabo in Atlanta about this,

249
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: and you know, he was telling me, he goes, you know,

250
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta took them a Garry Kid the offensive tackle from Washington,

251
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: And I said, did you feel like that was a

252
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: little early? And he said, did you see the way

253
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: the board was falling? Did you see what was happening

254
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: to the offensive tackles when it got to us or

255
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: how you know, we said, we either got to go

256
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: get an offensive tackle or we're not going to get

257
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: one at all. And so teams were probably thinking that

258
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. And you know, maybe some guys weren't

259
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: in exactly the wheelhouse of some of the teams, and

260
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: that's why the Cowboys were able to get a guy

261
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: like Brendon Knight, you know, and Derek Pooney. You know,

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: these are a couple of guys that I kind of

263
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: watched to go along with Mitch Hyatt, that I really

264
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: really liked. You know, Larry Allen Junior nice. You know,

265
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Larry Allen Junior is winning right now. He you know,

266
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: whether he makes his team or not, he's winning. He's

267
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: a Harvard grad, you know, that he's winning and like

268
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: doing Okay, he's doing all right, So you know, I mean,

269
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: but those when you add guys like that, Chris Westery

270
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: was a guy. You know, this is gonna be the

271
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: big experiment of the six four corner. You know that

272
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: this is the kid that's gonna look impressive when he's

273
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: standing out there and Mickey's interviewing him, He's gonna have

274
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: to get his little box to stand up and talk

275
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: to him. You know that's gonna be That's gonna be

276
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: impressive to watch this kid play, because that's the test case.

277
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Kenna six four, six four and a half corner have

278
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: some success in the National Football League. You know that's

279
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be the test And even the guys

280
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: that they draft. I talked to Jordan Lewis Sunday night

281
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: at Taste of the Cowboys benefiting North Texas Food Bank

282
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: is a great event they do fifteen years in a row.

283
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: He went to high school with Mike Webber, and I

284
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: think the first thing Mike told him on the phone

285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: was I should have been drafted higher man. Yeah, you know,

286
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: third round grade I think the Cowboys had. Yeah, he

287
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: drops to the seventh they've already drafted a running back,

288
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: but they're like, hey, that whole blinking light thing, right, Yeah,

289
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: but he serves a different purpose than Tony Poller. He does,

290
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: and so but I don't know, a lot of times

291
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: it's priorities. Teams have priorities what they want and what

292
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: they don't. And as Brian said, you know we talked

293
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: last week about Tristan Hill. Yeah, it's like, well, you

294
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: could have got him in the third round. Well maybe not. No,

295
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: that that was something because there were no more, no more.

296
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: And I said the Latin the next kind of three

297
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: technique technique defensive tackle went like at one hundred and

298
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, right, it didn't stretch. So if somebody need

299
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: one of those, they were gonna g them, right. Yeah.

300
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: You weren't going to sit there and go, oh I

301
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: can oh they get fancy. That was another thing that

302
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: guys around the league were talking about, because asked him

303
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: about Hill in the assessment, and the first thing that

304
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: everybody talked about was, well, you know, the coaching change

305
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: probably didn't do him any good. And you know, but

306
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: he's a quality player, he's an outstanding player. He should

307
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: have probably been drafted, you know, a lot higher than

308
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: where he was and so you know, but that's that's

309
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: where you had to go once you know, they made

310
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: the determination and we'll look at this in the history

311
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: of you know, the guys like Brian broad Us were saying, oh, safety, safety, safety, safety,

312
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: We'll see all those safeties were on the board. But

313
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: they they felt like though in talking to Will again

314
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: on that show, that he felt like they had they

315
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: had to make that pick. They felt like they did

316
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the leg work on Hill. They felt like that they

317
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: know Rod Marinelli and his relationship with the player, him

318
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: going to run the work out, his relationship with Scott

319
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Frost who's now in Nebraska, who was Tristan Hill's coach.

320
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot of information coming out

321
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: of Central Florida now it's becoming a bad visit. And

322
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: so you know, they they they had the right line

323
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: of questioning for folks that they could get information for

324
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: and that's why you make that pick. So you mentioned

325
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: the food bank, Yeah, what was the big story, Rob, Well,

326
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: you didn't catch that news because you were coming back

327
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: what from it was not on my website when I

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: pulled up Dallas Cowboys gun Well, there was no headline

329
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: it was there, all right? Was there? The big story

330
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: came out of it was never raised money for the

331
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: food bank. They raised a lot of money for Did

332
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: you eat? I did? I ate? A lot of different

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: stations man made then it's like your wedding. I just

334
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: kind of walked around and ate a lot of food.

335
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: I never saw you at the buffet table and the

336
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: bar and the and the bar too. North Texas Food

337
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: bab was a great event. Uh, DeMarcus ware probably was

338
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the top story that came out of it. Now he

339
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: was one of the hosts. Yes, okay. A lot of

340
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: caberty cowboys people there. Yeah, yeah, a former players, a

341
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: lot of alumni. Um. He wants to come back in

342
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: a consultant role, and they talked with him about that

343
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: about a year ago, year or two ago, and he

344
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: wound up doing pretty much the same thing with Denver

345
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: last year. Out of contract with Denver. Right out of

346
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: contract with Denver. Would like to come in two three

347
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: days a week and work with the pass rushers. Now,

348
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said, we'd love him, We'd love to have him.

349
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: It's got to kind of work out for both sides. Obviously,

350
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: DeMarcus has things he's busy with two What do you

351
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: think about that? That's my goal in life, to be

352
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: a consultant, like a pigeon, come in and everything two

353
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: or three days a week, not be held responsible for

354
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: witness and loss. That's exactly your pigeon, come in, poop

355
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: on everything, and fly away. He wanted to do it.

356
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: He was sort of doing it in the offseason last

357
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: year before Denver convinced him to go out there and

358
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: do it. He's come by before. Yeah, yeah, I don't

359
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: know if that bumps Charles Haley out of his consultant role.

360
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Charles does it for food. Yeah, Charles does the way

361
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: back for food. Charles will coach for food. Yeah. I

362
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: mean he can't hurt, right, it can't have another have

363
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: another voice out there. Can I take the other approach? Then? Yeah?

364
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: And I appreciate what you guys are saying. I'm not

365
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: trying to be a negative guy here. I feel enough.

366
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: It's an important year for this football team, especially for

367
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: the coaches who their head coach is on a year deal.

368
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: I understand DeMarcus. I appreciate him. He was one of

369
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: the best players by far when my last draft. Thank god,

370
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: Bill mall with it. Jerry Jones and Steven Jones and everybody,

371
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: and Larry Lace and those guys all kind of pushed

372
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: it that way because it worked out well. Might be

373
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer, absolutely, and so I

374
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: appreciate that about the player. If if DeMarcus Ware wants

375
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: to coach, go be a coach. Don't be a consultant guy,

376
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, go be a coach. Go try and be

377
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: a coach. If you know Jason Went and we've talked

378
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: about him, go, you know he wants to go be

379
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: a coach, go do that. If I was, if I

380
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: was somebody on staff here, I appreciate what again, when

381
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: he's trying to do but this, if you to pull

382
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: this off, this has to be everybody on the right page.

383
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: I think you have very capable coaches here with Rod

384
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Marinelli and Leon let you know, they're even working Andre

385
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: Girard a little bit as a as a defensive line coach,

386
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: which is really kind of neat for him because he

387
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: thinks about it from an offensive lineman perspective to try

388
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: and help these guys. So if it's if it's something

389
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: where it's affecting the coaches who you have in your

390
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: contract to do then then that that would bother me.

391
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I trust me, I appreciate the player, but if I think,

392
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: if I'm on the coaching staff, I want to kind

393
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: of keep things as tight and close and not have

394
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of different opinions, especially when you've got some

395
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: young guys here that you might you know, you might

396
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: want to say, Okay, we need to coach them this way.

397
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: They don't need to hear something else, and you know,

398
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: maybe the message. If the message is all the same,

399
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: then it works. If the message turns into well, don't

400
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: don't do that with your hands, don't do that with

401
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: your feet. You know, position when you're coming off, take

402
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: this step, you know that makes sure that everything is

403
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: going to be aligned. Yeah, I just I just think

404
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: this is a really important year for the coaching staff.

405
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: If this was a new staff, maybe maybe you maybe

406
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: you could pull this off. But a staff that's essentially

407
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: needs to have a really good year. I don't need

408
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: any outside consultants and distractions and anything else. It despite that,

409
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: it's a Hall of Fame player given those kind of adjustments.

410
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: So I didn't get to see Jason Garrett say what

411
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: he said, but he said the right thing without saying

412
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: anything right, like oh, yeah, we want to do this.

413
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: He didn't say that right, It was like, yeah, you know,

414
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: if both sides can work something out, and you know,

415
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: he's a great player, and so I thought it was

416
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of a lukewarm response to the possibility. And if

417
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: I think back to when Bill was here and he

418
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: would bring in some of his former players, that was yeah,

419
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: but those were giant players. Yeah they and they were

420
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: giant players. But the assistant coaches, I don't know how

421
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: well they took to that. That that's to me, that's

422
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: you know I I would look at it this way, Rob,

423
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, and we're all we're all trying to be

424
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: professional about what we're doing here. Yeah, I would take

425
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: offense if some if they if they said, hey, we're

426
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: bringing in somebody else to analyze film and do this

427
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: just on a part time kind of a basis. I

428
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: don't have a problem where if they said, okay, Brian

429
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Mickey is going to evaluate film with you full time,

430
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: then I'm okay. But something that could be just as

431
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: a consultant or part time, I really don't have I

432
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: don't have time for that. I got to focus on

433
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I got to focus on sixteen games. I got to

434
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: focus on the best record I can get out of this.

435
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: I've got to focus on keeping my job, you know.

436
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: And it doesn't work out, and say he's an assistant

437
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: for or a consultant for the whole year, well he

438
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: just again goes away, and these coaches who are now

439
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: and there, they maybe lose their job. I wouldn't want

440
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: somebody coming in to my territory and being and being

441
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: just on a consultant basis. You hit on it, I

442
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: think when you said, and he's welcome anytime, no question. Everybody.

443
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: Tremendous person, tremendous player. But I'm just saying if you think,

444
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: if you want to think about what the coaches mindset

445
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: should be, I would worry about. I think you hit

446
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: on it when you said, it's a young team and

447
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: you've got to have messages and the techniques and everything

448
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: aligned with your vision. That's in any business. You know,

449
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: you got it. You gotta have things streamlined and everybody

450
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: on the same page. So we'll see what happens there.

451
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: Let's take our first break and we come back. We

452
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: touched on OTAs getting started here in a couple of weeks.

453
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: Let's spotlight some guys to watch that. Maybe we haven't

454
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: talked a whole lot about in the offseason, that it's

455
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: a big year for them coming up. Let's get into

456
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: that when we come back next. Kaboo Texas is three days,

457
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,879

529
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: We've we've gone up and down this roster in the offseason,

530
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: and I said it last week. We know more or

531
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: less what the bulk of this roster is going to

532
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: look like in twenty nineteen. Now the draft is over,

533
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: but let's talk about some guys that have something really

534
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: on the line this year. I mean something, maybe some

535
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: names below the radar that we're gonna be watching coming up.

536
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: You got any Brian as as OTA's come up soon? Well,

537
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: I think it's really going to be a really important

538
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys that I've been saying. This

539
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: guy's name a lot, just because I know what the

540
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: coaches to feel about him, and I know he was

541
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and he gets opportunity to get reps.

542
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: Is Donovan Olumba, you know, and he was on, like

543
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: I say, he was on the practice squad the whole

544
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: entire year. Here's a kid that's always around the facility,

545
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: if you want to say, a guy that's always used

546
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: the term and scouting a gym rat. He's always around.

547
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: You always see him. He's you know, when where seems

548
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: to be gone, he's hanging out. You know, he'll be

549
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: hanging out with Chris Rochard eaton lunch, she a talking.

550
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: He's always doing something around the facility. He's a corner

551
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: it's got some link to him, He's got some coverability

552
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: to him. Him and the Ward kid last year that

553
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: they traded to Kansas City, they were going to kind

554
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: of be the guys that the young corners that they

555
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: were going to shelf and then see if they can

556
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: get him, you know, get him to this year. So

557
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see how he's going to play.

558
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: A lot of talk about could the Cowboys with corners

559
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: possibly contracts up the next two years, could they find somebody,

560
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned Westery earlier from Kentucky as a

561
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: guy that they signed. Well, here's Donovan Alumba again. Another

562
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: whole year on the practice squad, got reps with the

563
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: first defense at times, and so he might be one

564
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: of those guys when we start putting on the pads

565
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: out there in Oxnard and one on one coverages and stuff.

566
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll stand up and then get some preseason games

567
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: and then find a way to make this football team

568
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster. I like it. I

569
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: like it, Mick, you're making a list over there. I

570
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: am who you got. It's a crowded field at the

571
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, sure is it is? If you look

572
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: at what they added in the off season, and if

573
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: you're on the fringe there, you better really step up,

574
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: you know. And one of the guys they gave an

575
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to last year when he finally got healthy was

576
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Noah Brown. Right, So if you look at it, you

577
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: have Cooper Gallup, Cob Tavon, Austin, Cedric Wilson is coming back.

578
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: He spent the whole year on i R. So he's

579
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: like a new guy. You have Lance Lenore, who they

580
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: kind of put on the roster late and you know

581
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: he was able to get in there. And then Noah Brown.

582
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: So when you're looking at things, you know, does he

583
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: fit in and he's gonna have to show. I would

584
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: think that he's more than just a big receiver that

585
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: you put in when you're blocked. You got to be

586
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: productive in the passing game. So between Tavon, Lance Leanoor,

587
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: and Brown, I think there's gonna be some significant competition

588
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: out there with those guys. Bring up another night forget somebody, No,

589
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I think you're good on that. Kyle Quero, Yes, he

590
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: was a safety at this time last year Northwestern. And

591
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: it's funny because I once again had to watch Northwestern

592
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: tape again this year for Nate Hall, the linebacker that

593
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: they brought in from Northwestern. So it kind of reminded

594
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: me of Kyle Quero. Here's another guy that was again

595
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: practice squad the whole entire year and developed some strength developed.

596
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's naturally a big guy. He was

597
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: a strong safety at Northwestern and then they moved him

598
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: to linebacker. Talking to people during practices about him. He

599
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: was one of those guys that caused caused Dak Prescott

600
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: fits because Prescott we try and fit the ball into

601
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: somebody underneath the way. And here's Kyle Quero driving on

602
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: the ball, knocking it down intersect. I mean, you know,

603
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: usually scout team guys aren't making plays. Well, nobody told

604
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Quero that he was making plays and that you know,

605
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, they're probably yelling at him.

606
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: I'll get out, you know, don't do that, you know,

607
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: And but I think that, you know, with the linebacker

608
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: situation the way it is, Mickey breaking news last week

609
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: about Sean Lee, which very well, you know that could happen,

610
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, but they're looking for a Sam linebacker. This

611
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: guy's got some potential to be some Sam linebacker. Traits,

612
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: and let's see if the special teams holds up. Let's

613
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: see if he could take a guy like Joe Thomas

614
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: and put him on the street. You know, he's gonna

615
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: these young guys, these alumbas and people like Mickey's mentioned

616
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: that some of these young guys are gonna have to

617
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: probably put some veteran guys on the street who've had

618
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: two or three, uh, you know, years already here and

619
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: they're saying, no, what, let's go with a younger, cheaper,

620
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: better guy, better player. And so these the names were

621
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: talking about right now, those kinds of guys. And we

622
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: mentioned the two running backs they drafted, and so where

623
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: does Darius Jackson exactly? You know, and he got an opportunity,

624
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: it was okay, I don't know if they were enthralled

625
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: by it. He got to play a little bit in

626
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: the regular season finale. Giants Yea and Jordan Chun spent

627
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: the year on the practice squad. But you bring in

628
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: two more running backs and now where did those guys

629
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: fit in? So the offseason and early in training camps

630
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna be really important for a guy like that if

631
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna stick around and you know, make this he's

632
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to bump somebody else off. I got a

633
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: guy Daniel Ross too, Yeah, defensive tackle. I mean they've

634
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: added some they've added some bodies inside now and where

635
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: it was Read and Ross the law firm, as you

636
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: would say, robs the law firm of Reading Ross, those

637
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: those two guys. I watched your show, by the way,

638
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: that the day we sought the law firm of Jackson

639
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: and Jackson. Yes, and so you know, but that's you know,

640
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: when you have when you're bringing in bodies like that

641
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: and quality bodies that we talked about earlier in the

642
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: first segment where they're off their draft board, you know,

643
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: cheaper help. You know, these guys like Ross and you

644
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: know they're gonna have to figure out a way to

645
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, they've already you know with Read, they've already

646
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: moved on from Reid. You know, Ross they brought back.

647
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can fact hold his spot, because

648
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: if not, then you know they'll they'll probably move on.

649
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: They just that that's just the competition is a lot

650
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: better at that spot. That whole defensive line, Mickey, I

651
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: think you counted it up. It's like sixteen guys uying

652
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: counting the couple of guys that they're going to bring

653
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: in as rookie free agents. Yeah, undrafted vying for. There's

654
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: about eight spots they usually keep. Sure, we kept ten

655
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: ten Yeah, last year they kept eight usually active. This

656
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: might be the one day. Yeah, that's true. This might

657
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: be the one year that I'm actually right about saying that.

658
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: You know, when they get down to the cut, they

659
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: always say, oh, it's a difficult cut, you know, and

660
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna play somewhere else. Yeah, but you know, teams

661
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: lie to you. Yeah, they lie to you. I mean

662
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: I could say it there like two weeks into training

663
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: camp and say here here, here, gone, gone gone. You know,

664
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: I can kind of figure things out because there's a

665
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of guys on that D line. You know we're

666
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna be here. This might be I'll see another position

667
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that needs to step it up.

668
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: Those two backup quarterbacks, Well that's where I was going. Okay,

669
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure Making and I were just talking away. No,

670
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna that was gonna be my Coney and

671
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: I and let y'all go. Because the point to me,

672
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: we keep talking all off season about running back and

673
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: well what happens if something happens to Zeke. True, why

674
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: aren't we talking about that at quarterback? I know, I

675
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: know Dak looks indestructible. I know he's built like a

676
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. He hasn't missed a snap due to injury

677
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: in three seasons, just like Zeke. We're all knocking on

678
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: wood here, um. But there were some close calls last year,

679
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: first Washing game, right where you got up on the sidelines.

680
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: He took some hits last year. And uh, I don't

681
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: know that we've seen a large sample size of Mike

682
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: White and Cooper Rush to say where they are. We're

683
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna find out. I think I think I've

684
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: seen Cooper Rush. I've seen Cooper Rush be really good

685
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: to make this team. Matter of fact, he drove Kellen

686
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: Moore into coaching if you think about it. Yeah, he

687
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: was one of the best best quarterbacks. I'm not just

688
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: talking about the veteran rookie whatever. He was like one

689
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: of the highest rating quarterbacks two years ago in the preseason,

690
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: and then last year it's like they drafted Mike White

691
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: and he spit the bit, you know. And I was

692
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: expecting Mike White to come in and be more competitive

693
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: and push and try and you know, get Cooper Rush

694
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: to knock him out or put him on the third.

695
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe this might be one of those

696
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: spots where we look at they say they don't have

697
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: the luxury of maybe keeping a third quarterback this year.

698
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: If if we're right about all this competition at defensive line,

699
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: at line, at a wide receiver, you know, at tight end,

700
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: are we're gonna be able to get able to keep

701
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: all these guys? So you might not be you might

702
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: not have the luxury of carrying that third quarterback. So

703
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: this is an important year for Cooper Rush and Mike White.

704
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, Mike White needs to step up. He really does.

705
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: He came in here and I was really just taking

706
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: backs a strong word. I was just kind of disappointed

707
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: because I thought he was a better player Western Kentucky.

708
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm like, oh, he's gonna come in here

709
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: and beat Cooper Rush out. That's this is no brand.

710
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: And then neither one of them either put put put

711
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: the foot down on the accelerator. It was just they

712
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: both kind of play just okay, and you know it's like,

713
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: all right, we have to keep two quarterbacks. Les keep too.

714
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think they're that luxury this year,

715
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: I really really don't. Somebody's gonna have to step up

716
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: and take this job. It's either bea Cooper Rush or

717
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Mike White or do you have a

718
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: short list of available veteran quarterbacks out of work. It's

719
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: interesting because I mean they haven't gone that route. A

720
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: account floating around somewhere, those seem like to be the

721
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: popular guy. I mean they haven't gone that route since

722
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen when they really want koys, yeah, make boys,

723
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: m accounts. I mean, they got such a steel with

724
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: Dak in twenty sixteen, and I think they they change

725
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: course and said, we we want to develop. You know,

726
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: we've got a young starter. Let's see if we can

727
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: find more guys that we can develop through the draft.

728
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: The thing Mike White was a fifth round pick a

729
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. I mean, they tried Matt Castle,

730
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: they tried Weedon, they tried all these guys. To our dismay,

731
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: it didn't work, you know, so um, But to your point, yeah,

732
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: I think once you get into training camp, in these

733
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: preseason games, the backups are going to have to show

734
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: that they can handle. Somebody had better step up yeah,

735
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: and that because again I'm just I'm making a prediction

736
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: as we speak here May seventh, right, May seventh, today, seventh,

737
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: May seventh. I'm saying, you know, they're not going to

738
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: keep three quarterbacks. I'm gonna make that prediction right now

739
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: because I think the roster is going to be so

740
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: strong at certain positions with some competition that they're thinking, like,

741
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: we can't keep that guy, we can't keep They got

742
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: to put them on the practice yeah, or you know,

743
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: they cut them in. They're thinking, okay, good luck, you know,

744
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll find another quarterback down the line. But

745
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: they if now, if they keep both quarterbacks, he'll be

746
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: because both quarterbacks earned the right to be here. But

747
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: if one of them goes out there, like I said,

748
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: spits the bid again and doesn't play with any passion

749
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: and fire and intensity and moving the team and it's

750
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: just you know, three and out, three and out, three

751
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: and out in all those preseason games, you know, then

752
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: I could see him moving on from that. So another position,

753
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: which was a luxury last year, they kept four tight ends. Yeah,

754
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: can they afford to do that again this year? And

755
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: if they can't, then Rico he's on the line with

756
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: Witton coming back and Schultz and Jarwin. To me, he's

757
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: fourth in line again. Keep and they signed the young

758
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: guy Cody McElroy mackelroy. Yeah, and he looks like a

759
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, he didn't play much. He was about

760
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: another basketball basketball right, But again, I was just gonna

761
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 1: save everybody the UH having to call and ask about Rico.

762
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: Where he fits in? Can I ask a question about Rico? Yes,

763
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: put him at tackle right now? We've gotten some questions

764
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: from fans about that. I mean, would you would you

765
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: just go ahead and say tough enough? You know what

766
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: I think, the blocks you're gonna get hit every fight enough.

767
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: But but but maybe it's about maybe it's a way

768
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: that you tell him, listen, your best avenue of sticking

769
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and maybe maybe other team. Well,

770
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: obviously if they put him out there, somebody will pick

771
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: him up, because everybody's interested in the basketball guy. By

772
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: the way, every kite ind the Cowboys have cut has

773
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: gone on and done great things. So that might be

774
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: another reason to pick up a tight end from his team.

775
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: But but would you consider putting Rico Gathers right at

776
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: least in the minicamps, the OTAs and working him as

777
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: some offensive tackle and see if if in fact it

778
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: because I think he's got the feet the feet to

779
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: do it, I don't. We'll see about the power of

780
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: the upper body strength and stuff. And maybe that's too

781
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: much to ask mentally of him to have to switch that.

782
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: But he plays that, he plays next to tackles. He

783
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: plays next to tackles in blocking. So but but okay,

784
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: you talk about your investment in time and all that.

785
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just tough because because he's the transition

786
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: just to get the tight end from eighth grade I

787
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: haven't played, and now you want to switch him. But

788
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: the numbers don't appear to be in his favor now obviously, right,

789
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough because you've got a draft pick

790
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: in front of you. They love Jarwin. You got Jason Witten,

791
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: and he's maybe he's better than maybe he's better than Schultz.

792
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: They listened to him at two eighty two. Yeah, I

793
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, this is where I'm kind of like,

794
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: if you if you did it now, he's two eighty two,

795
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: and you could get him to two ninety four, maybe

796
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: to ninety five something like that put about, you know,

797
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: puts them a little weight more because he's gonna have

798
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: the offseason program. As far as lifting weights, you keep

799
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: bulking him up a little bit. I just think the

800
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: footwork maybe can help being an athlete, But what about

801
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: football awareness that that right there will get somebody killed.

802
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: But I was just thinking, if you're not gonna the

803
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: investment that they made. Okay, so we're saying that the

804
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: two year investment of three year investment of Rico gathers

805
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: is has been a watch. I mean, this is not

806
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: a watch, but as a that's a failure. This is

807
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: the third year, right, right, you gotta do something your

808
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: third year. You gotta make us say the same thing

809
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: about the first round pick they had too that year.

810
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: It's really his fourth year, but he's he missed basically

811
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: one year and no, he's in the same boat. Yeah yeah,

812
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: except for the fact that he's got a guaranteed contract. Yeah. See,

813
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: that's that's Will McClay came out and was was very

814
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: very adamant about Rico needs to not Rico Taco such

815
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: a crowded group. Durance Armstrong's gonna try to you know,

816
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: you drafted a couple ends and we'll see what happens there.

817
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: All right, when you have a four million dollars dead

818
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: money if you get rid of him or trade him,

819
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: and who would give you anything for him at this point?

820
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a step up, but again you're

821
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of hamstrung because of the contract. Maybe player for player,

822
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: first round player, it's still cost you four million dollars. Well,

823
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: they would assume the guarantee, yes, right, if you traded him,

824
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: but the dead money on the signing bonus has still remains,

825
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: so it should not Pittsburgh with dead money. That's a

826
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: lot of dead money in Pittsburgh. All right, let's take

827
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: our final break. Kent's got a quarterback list for us

Speaker 1: They are going to give their combined donations are going

899
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 1: to be able to give Dallas its first American Cancer

900
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: Society Hope Lodge. It's a Hope Lodge where pepe that

901
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: have to come in in town from out of town

902
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: forty or more miles away and gives them a place

903
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: to stay, family members, support groups. If somebody's in here

909
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: you're giving care to is having treatment and the person

910
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: that's having treatment obviously is in the hospital. And I

911
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: thought the neatest thing about it was they have available

912
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: kitchen space and it was described as chef quality competition

913
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: cooking space where families can go down and mingle and

914
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: cook and kind of share what everybody's doing. So the Cowboys,

915
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: Jerry and Gene Jones donating seven point five million dollars

916
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: to this. Baylor Scott and White is donating the land

917
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: close to the Baylor Hospital downtown. It's in the Deep

918
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: Album area and they're going to break ground on that

919
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: and they're hoped to be up and running by twenty

920
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: twenty one, so a really neat idea. They have them

921
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: around the country. Yeah, and this will be the first

922
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: one in Dallas. Awesome, Awesome, all right, I promise we

923
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: get to the phone lines eventually. Will you're still there

924
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: from Chicago? Yes, I'm here. Thanks for holding buddy. What's

925
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: on your mind today? So we just have a couple

926
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: of comments and one comment and one question. Two questions. Really, So, Mickey,

927
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the next time he in Chicago, which will be in December,

928
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: you have to try the Chicago Pizza pot pie at

929
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grind. Definitely something you would enjoy.

930
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: Comes in half a pound and one pound? Can I

931
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: order it online? But yeah, you better order it because

932
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: there's a long wait. So my first question has to

933
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: deal with Randy Gregory. I know that we've had a

934
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of commerces for as his pending suspension. Do we

935
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: have any kind of update on what that actually means,

936
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: and the second question probably more discussion. I know that

937
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: we put a lot of emphasis on moving to more

938
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: a younger lineup, and I love Sean Lee. He's only

939
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: only player I have pictures with. But with all the

940
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: young talent that we have, do you see the Cowboys

941
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: being brave enough or having enough guts to really move

942
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: away from a Shan Lee who was actually his last

943
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: years and maybe nim with Jason Witten? I think Jason's

944
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: will the safe and and Sean but will they make

945
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: that type of decision? And I'll hang up and listen

946
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: to the sir. Ask you a question quick, sir, sir,

947
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: so are you with me? Okay? Who? Hey? Yeah? Yeah,

948
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask okay, so you're thinking about this

949
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: for final cuts? Then, right is how you're looking at it?

950
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: So okay? So we need to figure out though. Are

951
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: we liking that Sean Lee is gonna play sam linebacker,

952
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: which Mickey I give him full credit for that. We

953
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: are we okay with that? For Shaun Lee played in

954
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: that role and then being a backup player if something

955
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: were to happen, Because I'll give you a really good

956
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: example of what's happened the last couple of years, last

957
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: few years, if I remember correctly, you know, you look

958
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: at it with Joe Looney was able to do to

959
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: step in backup guy, step in play sixteen games. Need

960
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: that type of a player. Ron Larry did the same

961
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: thing for Lyle Collins. So to me, having a veteran

962
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: type of a guy, especially a guy with the quality

963
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: of you know, pedigree of Sean Lee, I'm not too interested.

964
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about week seven, Week eight, week eleven. You know,

965
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: we're maybe I'm gonna need that veteran guy to step

966
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: in because Joe Looney stepped in for sixteen weeks. Now

967
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: Joe Looney becomes a backup again, and now there's questions

968
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: about Joe Looney, you know, even is of Connor McGovern.

969
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm just trying to get a handle

970
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: on this thing. You're you want to just completely move

971
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: on from Sean Lee. It's what I'm am I right

972
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: about this. No, I'm not saying let's move completely away

973
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: from him right away. I think that we have to

974
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: go through the competition. But if someone shows a talent

975
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: and the ability to do, you know, that's the decision

976
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: we have to make sure and I think I think

977
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of seasons back I called it. It

978
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: was actually last season I called it and asked the question,

979
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: if Sean Lee goes down, which he did, who steps in?

980
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: Your answer at that point in time was Joe Thomas? Right,

981
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: So Joe Thomas is still with us. We have Chris

982
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: Covington us there. Yeah, I think they brought in a

983
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: couple of another other linebackers. Yeah, Chris. I think that.

984
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: I think that what makes the Patriots the Patriots is

985
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: they're willingness to move on, right, So, you know, are

986
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: we granted if the situation is right? I think having

987
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: him there and that that's that experience is definitely crucial. Yeah,

988
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: but at some point in time, you have to make

989
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: sure that you're reliable to be on the field. Him

990
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: playing Sam linebacker, in my opinion, taking on hits every play,

991
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: I don't see that being a long term solution. Well,

992
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: but you're not going to play every play, right, You're

993
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna play about twenty five percent of the snaps and

994
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna back up the other two positions. And him

995
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: backing up the Sam, I mean, the week and the

996
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: middle is better than any other alternative. The Cowboys have,

997
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: and as it was explained to me, he doesn't have

998
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: to be on the line of scrimmage every play playing Sam.

999
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: They can play him off. They've done that before with

1000
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: their strong side linebacker and protected him. But if you

1001
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: got somebody that's you think's good enough to come in

1002
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: and you know who is it, you know Covington's barely played, yeah,

1003
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: you know. And Joe Thomas is more of a middle

1004
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: week guy, not a strong side guy. So I don't

1005
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: think he gets in a way. And the best part

1006
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: is his contract, the way it got restructured, doesn't get

1007
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: in the way either. I'm all, yeah, no, it's a good,

1008
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: good discussion. Now, sometimes you have to have a luxury somewhere.

1009
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: I just think that Sean Lee. I'm because I'm thinking

1010
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: about again, Week seven, Week nine, Week eleven, something somewhere

1011
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: right there. You're gonna need Shaun Lee to start one

1012
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: of these games. You know, somebody's gonna get banged up

1013
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: and you know, not gonna be able to suit up

1014
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: for a game or two. And I think Kevin Shawn Lee,

1015
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: you know that that last year though, that they only

1016
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: played like the Sam linebacker in the playoffs when we

1017
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: played ten percent. Yeah, the two playoff games. Damien Wilson

1018
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: was under thirty in the snaps the season, So, I mean,

1019
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: and Mickey's right about that, but I think that I

1020
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: just also think like that they're gonna do more with

1021
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee. Maybe it's gonna give. And I don't think

1022
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 1: they want to take Layton van Rush off the field.

1023
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to take Jayleen Smith off

1024
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: the field, Jaylen Smith. I think they want to develop

1025
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: Jayalen Smith Moore as a rusher, believe it or not,

1026
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: a guy, an attacking linebacker in nicol situations and stuff him.

1027
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: If you tell me, okay, we want to play straight coverage,

1028
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll take Jalen Smith off the field because I don't

1029
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: think he can cover as well. But I think Sean

1030
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: Lee can. I think see and there's other packages that

1031
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: can use them for it. You can play four linebackers

1032
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: and as Brian said, and then Jalen becomes a pass rusher. Yeah,

1033
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: is he Russian? Is he not Russian? Right? Is Shawn

1034
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: Lee covering? Is he not covering? Right? There's so many

1035
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: things they can do with that three man front that

1036
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: they kind of like to use. The people on periscope

1037
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: are saying the football IQ and that's that's that's absolutely right.

1038
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: I know that's a smart that's a smart observation by

1039
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: somebody on pariscope. I'm sorry to catch your name, but yeah,

1040
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: that is it. You know, I understand what he was

1041
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: talking about with the injury and being young and all that.

1042
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: That's that's something that always comes into your mind. It's

1043
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: a young team to begin with. Maybe I need to

1044
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: carry a Witton, a Sean Lee, you know, I need

1045
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: to carry a veteran guy to make sure that the

1046
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: young guys are kind of doing things the right way.

1047
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: If they're getting in the way, if somebody is clearly

1048
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: better than Shan Lee, then I trust Will McClay, Jerry

1049
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: Jones and Stephen Jones and Jason Garrett to make the

1050
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: right decision to move on from that player if that's

1051
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: what they have to do. I don't think you look

1052
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: at the linebacker depth chart and say there isn't that guy.

1053
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: I just don't now to Will's point, sure, he's got

1054
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, absolutely, but the football IQ is big

1055
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: because number. By the way, Sean Lee was the best

1056
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: linebacker on the field in the playoff game. The loss

1057
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: of the Rams. That was a bad day overall for

1058
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: the defense. But the football IQ thing, there were plays

1059
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: that you watched Layton last year, and he needs to

1060
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: be on the field as much as possible, but there

1061
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: were plays that experience diagnosing things, another year or two

1062
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: of experience would have done him well. And that's a

1063
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: play that probably Sean might have recognized and gotten taken

1064
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 1: the right angle to the ball. Things like that. It

1065
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: shows up if you go back and watch some of

1066
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: that stuff. So what was the first part of his

1067
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: question of the Chicago Pizza Pot pie date on Randy

1068
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: Gregory indefinitely suspended right now? Yeah, he's indefinitely suspended, So

1069
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: I think he kind of worded it like it was

1070
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: impending or something. He is suspended. I think the best

1071
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 1: thing you can say is they are hopefully optimistic that

1072
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: he'll get reinstated. I think I've had some people tell

1073
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: me that Randy Gregory's working out on his own. You

1074
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: know that he's trying to do some things to kind

1075
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: of keep himself active, keep himself going, making sure that

1076
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: while these guys are here doing OTAs and Captain's workouts

1077
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: and all that he's not gonna He's not just sitting

1078
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: there waiting for you know, somebody to decide his fate.

1079
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: He's going to. If it works, he'll be ready. If

1080
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, well, then he'll do what he has

1081
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 1: to do. But now and again we talk about Randy

1082
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: in his situation. It's unfortunate, you know, And I'm not

1083
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: going to sit and act like I made a mistake

1084
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: with Randy Gregory, you know, and evaluating him. And I'm

1085
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: not going to do that again, because you know, it's

1086
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 1: un fortunate. I don't know his complete, you know, completely,

1087
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: what goes on with him, But I was wrong about

1088
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: his willingness to want to play football. I thought, now

1089
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't care about football. He really does care about football,

1090
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: but he's got something. He's got an illness that's keeping

1091
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: him from being the football player that that he's he

1092
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: was in college. And you know, we have yet to

1093
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: see here with the Cowboy. He really is a unique

1094
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: case because it is a it's an illness and it's

1095
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: an issue that probably won't get resolved until the next

1096
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: CBA and he unfortunately he entered the league in twenty

1097
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: fifteen and under the current rule play, it's it's it's

1098
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: an issue trying to figure out where he falls with

1099
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: violations of the substance he plays. He plays for a professional,

1100
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: professional sport that is very not very sympathetic to his

1101
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of condition, or it has no understanding of his condition.

1102
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: That's that's the problem. If he would maybe maybe maybe

1103
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: the other sports baseball, basketball, hockey, maybe they have a

1104
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: better understanding of this. Football doesn't have a better understanding

1105
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: of this. And we don't know the circumstances surrounding the

1106
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: reason for the indefinite suspension. There's a lot of things

1107
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: that he has to follow and and the only reason

1108
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: I say they're you know, hopefully optimistic. If you listened

1109
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: to Stephen Jones answer questions about it, I mean, he

1110
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: sounds like, but they know something we don't. Yeah, but

1111
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: we gotta be careful, Mickey. Remember we got fooled by

1112
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: the whole Zeke thing Jerry came out was a legal thing,

1113
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: and we can have analyze that. We can't analyze. No,

1114
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: we can't analyze this. But it's if it's coming from

1115
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: the league, you gotta just be careful about And I

1116
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: appreciate what you're saying. I really really do the legal

1117
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: stuff we understood. I don't know if I really understood it,

1118
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: but I tried. Well, we obviously misinterpreted it because the

1119
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: way they interpreted. But if you've noticed since then, the

1120
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: league hasn't done again what they've done to Zeke. Yeah,

1121
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: it hadn't happened, all right, KNT real quick. You wanted

1122
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: to drop a free agent quarterback list for us, just

1123
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: in case the Cowboys wanted to look that way. Yeah,

1124
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: let me know if any of these names, um excite

1125
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: you more than Cooper Rush and or Michael we'll just

1126
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: say stop when we're interested. Some of these names might

1127
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: be very familiar to Cowboys fans as well. Um, we'll

1128
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: start with David Fails. He was last with Miami. Free

1129
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: agent Brock Osweiler, also last with Miami, Josh Johnson, And

1130
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: here's some familiar names. Brandon Whedon, Mark Sanchez, Matt Castle.

1131
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: Sanchez suspended the first four games? Or was that last

1132
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: year I was last? It was? Okay, there we go.

1133
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: Sanchez still out there, Josh McCown still out there as well.

1134
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: There's some accounco, there's some m account that helps Gino

1135
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: Smith and um, Rob, this is for you, Johnny manziel

1136
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: I gotta put it out there, put the feelers out, Rob,

1137
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Johnny in there trying to get an extra thousand or two.

1138
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, Well that's a great way to end

1139
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the show, isn't it. And that's kind of why you're

1140
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: trying to develop your own guys. Right, threw up in

1141
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: my mouth. So you got roots there with all of that.

1142
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: None of those guys. That's why you try to develop

1143
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: your own guys, because those guys had shot. Maybe Josh McCown,

1144
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: he forgot a very he got a very key name.

1145
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: He left somebody off. He left somebody off, left somebody

1146
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: off that that that just might be the best one

1147
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: out of all those guys. Tony Romeo, Oh, he's playing

1148
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: golf this he's playing he's going to golf this week. Yeah,

1149
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: he's golfing. Colin Kaepernick. Yes, yes, if you're talking about

1150
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: get me a guy that I know is in shape

1151
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: that can whip the ball. But again, is the is

1152
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: there going to be important time in this NFL where

1153
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: we now understand what's going on here and then we

1154
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: don't have the back and forth with that. I guess

1155
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: just as much talent as every one of those people

1156
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: that that can't just named has been to a Super

1157
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Bowl almost, I'm none of those guys would create a

1158
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: controversy if Dak had one bad game. Yeah, no, you're fair,

1159
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. But I'm just saying, if if I

1160
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: was a general manager and I needed a backup quarterback,

1161
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I know I would look at him and say I

1162
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: would I would work that angle. Yeah, you're losing Dak

1163
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: week three? Would you take? That's a different story over.

1164
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I need to see what Kellen Moore's doing with his offense.

1165
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: But if he's moving Dak around, this guy you can

1166
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: if you have an athletic quarterback, This guy makes a

1167
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: lot of sense. And then the other question is does

1168
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: he want to play football? Yeah, that's another question because

1169
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: we don't know that do Yeah, we don't. All right,

1170
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: we're out of time. KNT thanks for producing and for
