Speaker 1: Star in friscollowing the lives and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback,

5
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips and Kyle Yeoman's It's a

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: wonderful Monday Morning from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at

Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. It's another edition of Talking Cowboys

8
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: presented by Geico. And well, it's not March ninth, it's

9
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: March eighth, and yet we have still kind of not

10
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: figured anything out whenever it comes to the Dak Prescott saga,

11
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: if anything that can continues to get kicked down the

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: road a little bit more. And that's been a metaphor

13
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: that I believe has been overused because well, that's kind

14
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: of the certain scenario that we're in right now as

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys organization. But we're gonna talk about that

16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and plenty more. This is a fans choice episode for

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: multiple reasons. One with the DAK saga and two because

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: these three guys don't like to respond to my text messages.

19
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: When I'm trying to put together a rundown for our show.

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I got zero responses yesterday and it is a busy

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: week around these parts, and nobody responded, Rob Phillips, isaiahs

22
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Dan Back, heck my Harrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman's Rob. You're

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: the guy who normally responds, and you finally did like

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: six hours later. But what ends up happening now? Dad? Yeah,

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: have kids and you'll learn. You know, Robbie, you know

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: what I don't know about your guys' wives. Okay, but

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: my wife, somebody takes me out eleven o'clock at night.

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: The eyebrow goes in right then there is that too.

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: See that's a different dynamic. Kyle. You'll you'll get there.

30
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: It was at seven o eight, eleven o'clock whatever seven

31
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Is that an eyebrow? Ray Heckman is not even in

32
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: the same state. Wait, wait, wait, hold on, fellas, did

33
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Heckma just say he's roughing it? There's there's no way

34
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: he just said he's roughing it right now. You know,

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: look at the cabin and the back men. You I'm

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: telling wow, roughing it man, So you know the signal

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: they gotta I gotta rub some things together, you know,

38
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: turn a bicycle wheel like or something man to get

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a signal. Is it camping or is it glam? It's glamp.

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: It's glamping for sure. Glam. Heckma, you and I, You

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: and I will go out to New Mexico and just

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: rough it with a tent and a hammock one day

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: and then you'll you'll know what the difference is between

44
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: camping and glamping. And you're glamping. If if I'm looking

45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: at the back of that cabin right now the way

46
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: that I am, you're glamping. Hey, you know, Kyle, you

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: know I'm not about that life. So don't Hey, Kyle,

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: bears or something? What was it, Yeah, bears. Yeah, that's

49
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: my deal. Don't do bears. So you do glamping but

50
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: not bear. That's fair what we gonna say, Rob, So, Kyle,

51
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: like in our in our defense, well, in our defense,

52
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: I like to feel the curtain back. We kind of

53
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: do it. We do a group text every weekend to

54
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: talk see what we're going to talk about. I think

55
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe we're just all under the impression that when it

56
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: comes to Monday, well we got Dak, we can we

57
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: can talk about Dak. And you know, I think we're

58
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: all kind of dacked out. Yeah, yeah, what else can

59
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: you say until it gets done or it doesn't get done. Yeah,

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of the It still ends up being the

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: storyline this week because whenever you look at the Dak

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Prescott situation, sure everything falls into place behind that. We

63
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: talked about that last week. How wait is a domino effect,

64
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: and once Dak is signed, then ultimately you can figure

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: the things out from your roster standpoint ahead of time.

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: But even the first domino that needs to be done

67
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: is the salary cap number, at least from a lot

68
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: of teams and a lot of GM's perspectives, and Ian

69
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: rapp report from the NFL Network tweeting out earlier today

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: that there's a potential that the salary cap deadline or

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: the excuse me, the franchise tag deadline could be moved

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: back a couple of days in order to combat the

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: salary cap questions that a lot of these front offices

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: have right now with the uncertainty around the COVID nineteen

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season and moving into twenty twenty one rob

76
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: that happened last year as well. In terms of pushing

77
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: back that deadline, it only was pushed back. I think

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: two days correct, But if it happens again, why would

79
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: it happen and what kind of repercussions would it bring well.

80
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense to push it back this

81
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: year in particular because it's such a low level that

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: they know they're going to deal with. You know, it

83
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: could be above one eighty, but either way, it's going

84
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: to be well below one ninety eight. You've got the

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: vast majority of the thirty two teams really opera on

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: tight budgets, so every penny counts. So in the Cowboys perspective,

87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: Dax tag to try to slot that in. If they

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: have to do that, it's going to depend on it's

89
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: going to dictate what they need to do in terms

90
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: of potential restructures or we've talked about what they need

91
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: to have some salary cap cuts. You know, every every

92
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: little dollar and cent will impact available, impact what they

93
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: need to do to create room. So it's very important

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to know exactly what that level is.

95
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: And man, this franchise tag is almost like tax day.

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: It's like it's like this day that dread. You know

97
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: it's coming and can I get an extension? You know,

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: and just the we'll find out probably later today, but

99
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: just the fact that that's reported that the league's talking

100
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: about that, it wouldn't surprise me at all. They push

101
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: it back, like, yeah, a couple of days, how freshy,

102
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: let me ask you, this is one eighty is one

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: eighty to the floor that we're dealing with from the

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: cap or that's what you're saying. One eighty to one

105
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: ninety eight is what we're expecting. I'm sorry, Yeah, one

106
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: eighties the floor for this year. The cap level last

107
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: year was one ninety eight, So the reports are that

108
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: it could be a little higher, maybe than one eighty

109
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: if they want to borrow for future years, but it's

110
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: going to be nowhere close to one ninety eight. So

111
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: you've got you've got a couple of teams with cash

112
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: around the league, I feel like, but but a lot

113
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: of teams are in the Cowboys perspective, Like you're seeing

114
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: guys get cut around the league already, Brason for this

115
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a really interesting free agent

116
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: market this year or no question about it. How frustrating

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: is this from a player's standpoint? I say, I know

118
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: I asked you that question last week, but kind of

119
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: pushing it down the road even more so. Is it

120
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: frustrating or players at this point in their career a

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: little bit more patient whenever it comes to business like this.

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: I think I think it just really depends on the

123
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: situation that you're in. I think if you know, if

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: you're in a situation like Dak or anybody else who's

125
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: in a position to get franchise, tay is definitely frustrating

126
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: because you know you've you've earned your you've earned your

127
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: right to go explore freedom, You've served, you served your sentence, right,

128
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: I have a out my obligations to this organization, and

129
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: then they say, ah, I was fooling. You can't go anywhere, right.

130
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: So I think it's frustrating from the guys in that perspective,

131
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Guys that are that are already free agents. I think

132
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: you're just waiting around to find out exactly how much

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: money you can get. That's there's really what it is.

134
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you're waiting to find out what organization am

135
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: I going to go to based upon you know their

136
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: financial situation. So I don't think there's too much frustration

137
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: aside from just guys that are their franchise tags that

138
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: would I would not want to be in that position, um,

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: knowing that you're right on a customer freedom and then

140
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: they're saying, nah, Nope, you can't go anywhere. And what

141
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of national guys are saying is this could

142
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: be a weird year in terms of there's no middle

143
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: ground in free agency. You know, you've got guys that

144
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: if they if they hit the open market, the top

145
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: guys are going to cash in just because they're top guys.

146
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: But then other guys they're you know, you're gonna have

147
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: to set up for one year deals or deals that

148
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: you just really normally you think you'd get a much

149
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: nicer package just because of the way it's set up.

150
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: And I just saw a report I think from Scheff

151
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: or Carl's Dunla got released in Seattle. I mean, this

152
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: stuff starting to happen where it's just like that's the

153
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, no, it's a problem, pe I

154
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: just I just feel like there may be some opportunity

155
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: in there for teams that are trying to build their

156
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: teams like that those those second tier guys that would

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: have the teams would have coveted and automatically resigned may

158
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: end up being cap casualties right, And so for US,

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: I believe it's March twenty first where guys contracts become guaranteed.

160
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: So I think the thing to watch for the Cowboys

161
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: is by that March twenty first deadline, how many guys

162
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: are cut for US so as well, so just seeing

163
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: that they're veteran guys like Carlos Dunlap, who was a

164
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: hot commodity free agent wise from Cincinnati UM before he

165
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: went to Seattle correct UM. You know, basically was a

166
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: guy that everybody was was was going after. But you know,

167
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: for US, I think for I believe it's Jalen Smith's

168
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: contract is guaranteed after the twenty first, and there are

169
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: a few other names in there. But when you think

170
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: about tagging Dak and then the other big contracts that

171
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: we have, that's taken up about sixty five percent of

172
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: the cap space as it is currently, So you talk

173
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: about no room for air of the Cowboys front office,

174
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: that's only thirty five percent left to sign all the

175
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: rest of you guys and your draft picks. There's already

176
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of those cap casualties as they like

177
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: to call it around in the league. I mean Kyle

178
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: Rudolph last week, like you said just now with Seattle,

179
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: and I mean, they're gonna be more to come. But

180
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: whenever you look at the Cowboys and they did it

181
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: last year and you're definitely gonna do it again this year.

182
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: They try to fill holes before the draft via free agency,

183
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of those guys that you could

184
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: potentially look at to fill those holes if they are released.

185
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to talk about Kyle Rudolph

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: every time, but I mean, hey, if you wanted to

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: upgrade the tight end position, he might be an upgrade

188
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: over Blake Jarwin. Now, you feel pretty good about what

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Dalton schultzon Blake Jarwin gave you this past year, but

190
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: there are out there in terms of free agency. Rob,

191
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: have you seen any of those casualties that have come

192
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: across that might be away for the Cowboys to potentially

193
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: look down the road and fill some spots prior to

194
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: April twenty nine. Um, well again, I mean, it's it's

195
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: gonna come down to what the Cowboys can do. And

196
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: if it's you know, if the cap is one eighty,

197
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: let's just say it stays where it's at at the

198
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: floor and Dak is franchise tagged. That's like twenty percent

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: of your cap so it's just gonna be really hard

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: to maneuver. Now, I wouldn't rule out a deal, you know,

201
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule it out because I do think it

202
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: is important for the Cowboys to try to spread that

203
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: hit out if they can. You know, we haven't heard

204
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of movement to this point, but we'll see.

205
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: I threw out a couple of names last week, and

206
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: Heck kind of dunked on me, and he made a

207
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: good point, you know, Like I threw out throughout Kawan Short,

208
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Darrell Casey, I'm thinking, I'm thinking defensive line because I'm

209
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: thinking that to me, that interior line presence, and they

210
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: got some good snap upside of Antoine Woods and and

211
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Nevill Gallimour is a talented young player. But I just

212
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: think if you could add somebody else that can help

213
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: you there, that would really help fortify gan Quinn's scheme,

214
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I think. But Heck made a good point. You know,

215
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: you'd be careful signing veteran guys that have been good

216
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: in the past, but maybe there's a reason why they're available,

217
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out for that. Starting who is

218
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: Rob Rob sound like Rob Okay, Yeah, absolutely, I love it. Hey,

219
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: But but I was basically talking about our front office

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: and the job that we did, you know, trying to

221
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: save money, the guys that we got did not help

222
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: us at all, and just bringing in the kind of

223
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: defensive line that we're gonna need to make an impact.

224
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: We didn't get any impactful guys through free agency last year,

225
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: and before we came on there, that was the one

226
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: thing that I was talking to to Pee about is

227
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, can we put our mount rush or together

228
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: of our own in house free agents that we need

229
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: to get signed. I think that's that's pretty important as well.

230
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: Like that, so you're talking about you want four guys

231
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: out of the free agents that the Cowboys currently have

232
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys should bring back or what are we

233
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: thinking there? Exactly exactly? I mean you think about a

234
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: year ago this time, we were talking about Robert Quinn, who, Yeah,

235
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I think we undervalued Robert Quinn and then Chicago came

236
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: in with the offer that I don't think any of

237
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: us thought Chicago would sign him for that right, And

238
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the same thing with Byron Jones to Miami. I think

239
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: we thought, I think that we thought we would have

240
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: a stab at signing Byron Jones until Miami put their

241
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: offer on the table. So there are guys right right now,

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Like I believe that Aldon Smith is going to get

243
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: an offer that's the Cowboys may not be willing to

244
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: match what the other teams coveting our free agents. So

245
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: who are those guys that we have in house? And

246
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: I'll just throw a name out, like Joe Looney, Joe

247
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Luis a free agent. Are we sold on Tyler Beatish?

248
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: You know? Are we sold that Beotis is the center

249
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: for the future because we saw late in the season

250
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: our underwhelming offensive line and it cost us and what

251
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: do we do to try to fortify the middle of

252
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: our offensive line? There's other questions that we have. Is

253
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: Zach Martin moving out to right tackle? Is Lael Collins

254
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: going to be healthy? All of those things that we've

255
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: been asking. But cam Irvin as well, is he going

256
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: to be someone because of his versatility to go from

257
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: left to right that we'll resign? Isaiah, I think I

258
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: think he makes a good point. U Yeah, I mean

259
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: he makes a good point. He just really depends on

260
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: how much how much we're willing to invest in these guys.

261
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: That's that's really what it comes down to. I think,

262
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: as you guys bring up the topic of signing free agents,

263
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: the reason why those guys are free agents right now

264
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: and the reason why they're cap casual Jesus because of

265
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: the cap because financially, those teams can't afford them. So

266
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: if those teams can't afford them, we definitely can't afford them.

267
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: So obviously, sometimes you're you know, players are willing to

268
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: take that one year deal, as you guys have alluded to,

269
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: that one year deal for a shot at the super

270
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: Bowl or that shot at you know, proving them reproving themselves,

271
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: like a Kyle Rudolph, you know, he needs to come

272
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: back on the market because they didn't throw them the

273
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: ball anymore. Right, So there's there's situations like that. But

274
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're gonna be paying

275
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: high dollar for one year deals, you know, and you're

276
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: not no security and you have a brand new coach

277
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: who's trying to establish some kind of foundation. So I

278
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: don't think that the one year deal route is there

279
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: is the direction to be going. Okay, let's let's look,

280
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: let's take a deeper look into this, and we're gonna

281
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: take Dak Prescott out of the equation here because of

282
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: course that would probably be the number one guy on

283
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: our amount rushmore of players to bring back, So no

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Dad Prescott in this conversation. However, there I mean, there's

285
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: a list of twenty free agents. I'm trying to type

286
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: or I'm trying to count at the same time. So, yeah,

287
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: twenty two free agents. If you had to pick four guys,

288
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: four guys total to come back in twenty twenty one

289
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: that was a part of this team last year, who

290
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: would it be? Because I think I would start probably

291
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: with Cheeta A Woozier, probably mine. But the fact is

292
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: his market value is probably right around eight million dollars

293
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: on a base salary per year. I think that's gonna

294
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: be And like Isaiah was just saying, a great point off,

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: what are we going to be willing to spend on

296
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: these guys? That might be too high for Cheeta Awoozia,

297
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: but that is what his market value has been with

298
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: guys his age, with his production that have been resigned

299
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: to second year or second contracts in their career, and

300
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: it'll be right around eight million to bring back Cheeta Awoozia.

301
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: Is he worth that maybe is he could he take

302
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: a little bit less than that. Sure, but that's one

303
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: of the guys that I think I would put out there. Rob,

304
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: do you have four guys that you could potentially look

305
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: at and say they need to be back on the

306
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys after twenty twenty. I'm going through right now. So

307
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: we're looking more unrestricted guys right, unrestricted freely because they've

308
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: got they've Yeah, they've got four restricted guys because I think,

309
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: like I mentioned Antoine Woods, Cedric Wilson, I think the

310
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys should and probably will look at bringing both, uh,

311
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: both those guys back. Um, yeah, I probably would leave

312
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Cheeto off the list just because I agree with you.

313
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I think you want to resign. But but yeah, I

314
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: think the position he plays and heck alluded to Byron

315
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Jones just cashing in crazy money last year, I think

316
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: somebody with cash could could offer Cheetah yeah, the same thing. Yeah, absolutely,

317
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know, so, so I might go down the

318
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: list and say, you know, it's it's interesting at the

319
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: corner position because they could look outside the current group

320
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: to try to sign a veteran to cover yourself before

321
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: the draft. You have Anthony Brown, you have Treyvon Diggs. Uh,

322
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, I put Jordan Lewis on that list. You know,

323
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe he's back at at at a cap friendly deal,

324
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: potentially help you in the slot again, cover yourself before

325
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: the draft and create some competition there. How about Joe Thomas,

326
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: You know, to me, he's a he's a perfect signing

327
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: in this type of environment, a guy that can he

328
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: helps you on all your special teams and he can

329
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: step in and start games for you. Thought he did

330
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: a nice job and they've got some questions. But health

331
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: at linebacker. Yeah, so that's another one. Um. You know,

332
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: Aldin Smith obviously a starter depending on his contract situation.

333
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: And then I might throw in m Yeah, Looney's a

334
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: good one too. You know, Looney's a good one too

335
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: to have his depth. But I sure would like Andy

336
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Dalton back if I could, you know, as as depth

337
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. I wonder what his market value

338
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: would be based off of a backup quarterback. Bow Track

339
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: says six point eight. It may be more than that

340
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: because he's trying to be a starter, so I think

341
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: he would probably be more than that. But also what

342
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: our team's gonna be willing to look at for a

343
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: quarterback on the agent market because of all the cornerback

344
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: or a quarterback turnover that we're already looking at. Is

345
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: a team out there going to be willing to dish

346
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: out some cash to Andy Dalton? Maybe not. He may

347
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: be right back in the same scenario that he was

348
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: last year, taking three million from Dallas and going with

349
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: a one year deal potentially to back up Dak or

350
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: whoever ends up being the quarterback in the future. Isaiah

351
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: mentioning Joe Thomas, Rob just did, But I know you

352
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: were a big fan of what Joe did coming in

353
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: and filling in with Jalen Smith and Layton vander esh

354
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: Is some of those health issues. I still think the

355
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys add a linebacker and free agency, but Joe Thomas

356
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: is definitely one of those names that would be in

357
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: my top four if he were to be a contract

358
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: that could be signed. Yeah. Now, I'm a JT fan

359
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about Timberlake, So I'm all. I'm

360
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: all with that. Wait, are you a justin Timberlake fan too?

361
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: He is as long as timberlay is making the beats. Okay,

362
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: that's fair. No, So I'm I'm just I'm definitely a

363
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas fan. I think that he's one of your

364
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: core guys. I just think he's one of your core guys,

365
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: regardless of they if they talk about him in that

366
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: light or not. I think that that's you have that

367
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: assurance that he can always step in and he he's

368
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the guy that you take for granted, right, He's the

369
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: guy that you take for granted. So Joe Thomas, absolutely, Um,

370
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: he's my number two guy, my number one guy. He

371
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: need to bring back LP straight up. Okay, you gotta LPs.

372
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: LP's number one, Joe Thomas, number two, Andy Dalton number three, Um,

373
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: and then number four. I'm going with Alton Smith. Why

374
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: Alden four? Four? Because I think Alton I think he

375
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: has that dog in him. I just think that he

376
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I think he just I think he was tired personally

377
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: after the first five. He was still going through. Yeah,

378
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, yeah, you've been sitting for a while.

379
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely the time, definitely, yeah, definitely saw but he must

380
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: it through. He got through it, for sure, he got through.

381
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: I mean, but you saw his production initially and that

382
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: that's what that's Alton. And then that those years off

383
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: caught up with him. I think I don't think that

384
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: was a lack of mental focus. I don't think it

385
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: was any of those things. I just think that the

386
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: boy was just like oooh, my body, you know, um,

387
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: they caught up with him. So I think, having having

388
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: on a full offseason with the full expectancy of what's

389
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: he's going through, I think I would swinging between Aldon

390
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Smith and cam Irving, I would swing. I would that

391
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: would be a toss up, depending on who you can

392
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: give it the best value simply just because they're they're

393
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: both sure things. Not like I'm gonna get a whole

394
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: lot of production out of them, but like I know,

395
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: I know, I know if I put those guys in

396
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: the game, I know what I'm gonna get right, And

397
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times that's better than the unknown. Right,

398
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you rather go with the guy that, Okay, he's

399
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna be consistent, Right, I know I could recon rely

400
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: on them. I can't spay nothing necessarily great out of them,

401
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: but I can rely on them, you rather, Coaches would

402
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: typically like to go with that versus goal with somebody

403
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: who they're just like some days they're amazing, some days

404
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: they're just ghosts. Right, Even when even when Alton Smith

405
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: wasn't making sacks, he would still had a presence, right,

406
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: You still know you had a veteran in. You still

407
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: knew you had somebody who was savvy. You still knew

408
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: you had somebody who could go turn on that switch

409
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: if they needed to and go make a play. So

410
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: I would much rather rest assured with that than going

411
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: out there and spending some high dollars on some free

412
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: agent that either all or none. And I agree with

413
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: you on cam Irving because I mean, he's a fat

414
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: and I probably felt better about him coming in there

415
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: when he was healthy than Brandon Knight or Terrence Steele.

416
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: A problem was he missed ten games, you know. So yeah,

417
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know any Sorry, I just

418
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can spend at that swing

419
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: tackle position this year because I think he was making

420
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: two point five millions something like that. I don't know

421
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: I can spend that this year. No pe. All I

422
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: was gonna say is that how impactful was his entry?

423
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: Once you know, tiring went down and then he went

424
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: down with the me I mean we were down to

425
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: third and four guys, Brandon Knight, Terren Steel. Again. We

426
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: just have to get better quality guys at the offensive

427
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: line position going into next year, and we saw how

428
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: it affected Kansas City in the Super Bowl. I mean

429
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: they were looking unstoppable off until the point that they

430
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: lost two or three of the offensive lineman. So I've

431
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: been meaning to do this about Andie Dalton. Sorry, Kyle,

432
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, Oh no, go for it. Well,

433
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: I just real quick, I was just meaning to do

434
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: this with any Dalton because it's a good it's a

435
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: good question like how many how many openings are there,

436
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: like how many how many teams need a starter or

437
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: want to bring in somebody at least to compete. It's

438
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: probably five to ten, right, is it that? Mom? I

439
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: was just kind of going and you know, I say

440
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Houston would be one for sure that you know, Seattle

441
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: we don't know if if their quarterback is going to

442
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: be back from that you know knee, Yeah, okay, you

443
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: know this. I mean that's just just a few teams

444
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: to throw around. Miami, Washington, Um, Denver. Would they want

445
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: somebody to come in compete with Locke? You know, I

446
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: guess there's a few, but I wonder, I just wonder

447
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: what the market's going to look like for him. The

448
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: red Rifle is going to go off to New England

449
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: and mill Belichick. That's what's going to happen, do you think? So?

450
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: I feel like Bill's gonna get on that on that

451
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: bandwagon and to go find an Andy Dalton. But I

452
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know, you're right, I mean, because it can't be

453
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: a team that is going to draft a quarterback. It

454
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: can't be that sort of team because if you're the Jets,

455
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: you're going to draft Zach Wilson or Justin Fields. If

456
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: you're the Jags, of course it's Trevor Lawrence, you can't

457
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: really be one of those teams that would really go

458
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: after him. It has to be a middle of the

459
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: road team that has a question at quarterback but they

460
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: don't really want to either move on for him or

461
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: they want to, like you said, bringing competition to at

462
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: least have that kind of mentality with Andy Dalton if

463
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: he's in the backfield like that. I mean, I guess

464
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: it could be a team drafting in the top ten.

465
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean as a bridge, you know, but like Trevor

466
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to play for Jacksonville week one, So yeah,

467
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm just kind of looking

468
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: at the list and think and some of it's some

469
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: of it's yet to be seen because there's guys like

470
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, there's reports that Okay, teams

471
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: are going to hold out to try to get to

472
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, you know, Denver's and Chicagos and teams like that,

473
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: So it could it's all kind of influx. But you know,

474
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: maybe maybe there's a chance he comes back, you know,

475
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: depending on the price and the fact that he's from

476
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: here and who knows. But you know, it's kind of

477
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: a luxury position to spend at and they had the

478
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: luxury to spend it last year. I don't know if

479
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: they had the luxury this year. Yeah, agreed, and kind

480
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: of going really quickly back to offensive tackle just right

481
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: before we go to break, I'm I'm down to bring

482
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: back Cameron Irving just based off of like you said,

483
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: I if he's not on the two and a half

484
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: million dollars deal that he was last year, if it's

485
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pay cut, you can maybe

486
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: get a discount because he missed ten games. And then

487
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: he provides you that swing tackle assurance that you don't

488
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: always have to go to a brand to night or

489
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: a Terrence Steal if Lyle Collins and Tyron Smith are

490
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: not available in terms of their health, and I mean,

491
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm still on the bandwagon, and I'm even as the

492
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: days go by, I'm stronger and stronger at picking an

493
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: offensive tackle at number ten and fixing the defense in

494
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the second, third, fourth, fifth rounds and going offensive tackle

495
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: there to shure up your offensive line, because that was

496
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline this past year. It really was. It

497
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: was the fact that the offensive line couldn't figure anything

498
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: out for any of the team outside of the deck

499
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: injury any of the offense to have any kind of success.

500
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: It was because the offensive line was just below average,

501
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and by below average, I mean one of the worst

502
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: in the leagues whenever those two guys were out via hell.

503
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: So I'm down to sign some depth, but i still

504
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: want to draft starters, and that's where I'm at at

505
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: pick number ten. At that point. We could talk about

506
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: that later on as well. We're gonna step aside for

507
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, You're on Talking

508

Speaker 1: Cowboys presented by Geico. We're gonna answer some fan questions

553
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: professional football analyst Heckma Harrison with us as always, I'm

554
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Almen's driving the Boss, and we've got some fan

555
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: questions to hit throughout the rest of the show. It's

556
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: not fans on the fifty but because it's going to

557
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: be the rest of the show and it's already fifty

558
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: eight by the time we're recording this, we're gonna go ahead,

559
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: go into it. And this first one I'm going to

560
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: direct toward mister Rob Phillips because I know you know

561
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: the answer to this because it's been on the mailbag

562
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: on Cowboys dot Com a couple of times. But John

563
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter asked, is it too late to employ the

564
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: non exclusive tag for Dak Prescott? If the Joneses don't

565
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: want to quote unquote set the market, perhaps they should

566
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: let another team do that. What do you say to that,

567
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: mister Phillips, I say that is it? John? John? Is it? John? Yes? John,

568
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for your question. Please stop asking it. Read

569
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: the mailbag. Read the mailbag, John, No, we We've answered

570
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: this in recent days and we still get mailbag questions

571
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: about it. And I appreciate the fans thinking they're trying

572
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: to make this thing happen. Right. We want this all

573
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: to be over, We want Dak to get signed, but

574
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't make logical sense to do the non exclusive tag.

575
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: Just think about it. Look, I get it, you know,

576
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: let somebody else try to figure this out from from

577
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: the financials. But if you're the Cowboys, would you really

578
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: want another team dictating potentially the terms of an agreement,

579
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: a contract that's going to be this massive. We're talking

580
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: about the richest deal in Cowboys history and quite possibly

581
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: top two richest deals in NFL history. Do you want

582
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: another team handling your business for you? No, you know

583
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: you want to take care of it yourself. I know

584
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: that there's been sticking points, obviously, right, there's been linked

585
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: to the deal, guaranteed money. I'm sure it's been part

586
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: of it at one point or another. But you still

587
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: want to handle it yourself. And they have made progress

588
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. There have been offers

589
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: on the table. It just hasn't gotten done yet. Okay,

590
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to play Devil's advocate here really quickly, Rob,

591
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: because if you're speaking of a potential deal like that,

592
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: like you said, of letting other teams handling the Cowboys business.

593
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: From a fan standpoint, you're looking at this and you're

594
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: really frustrated because the Cowboys have tried to handle the

595
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: business for the past three years and instead they've gotten

596
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: the business in this deal from the last three years,

597
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: because they went for being a thirty two million dollar

598
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: deal to being the second biggest potential deal in NFL history.

599
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: So my question to you is maybe they want other

600
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: people to do their business for them because they haven't

601
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: done them themselves. No, No, you just don't want to

602
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: go down that road because look, especially in a situation

603
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: like we just talked in the first segment about how

604
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: precarious this cap is this year, where you've got to

605
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: figure out every little scent that you can save and budget.

606
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are in a tough spot, and so you

607
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: want to have full control over making that work under

608
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: your salary cap. I just I just don't think it

609
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: makes sense to try to open it up and let

610
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: another team negotiate. And yeah, okay, two first round picks

611
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: could be the you know, the exchange if you were

612
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: going to if you were not going to match a deal.

613
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: But it just doesn't doesn't make sense. Take take care

614
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: of your own business. And they're they're trying to get there.

615
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: They're trying to get there. Who knows if it's going

616
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: to happen, but they're working on it. I agree, I agree.

617
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: I think it would be it would be a stretch

618
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: to get to that point, but it's something to consider.

619
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: But I just don't know if it's, really, like you said, realistic.

620
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: This question comes from Rob, but I'm not gonna give

621
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: it to Rob, because this is a question for mister

622
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah Stanback. Rob says, two seasons from now, who do

623
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: you believe will be the better wide receiver on the

624
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Amari Cooper or Michael Gallop in two seasons?

625
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: In two seasons, Gallop will be here in two seasons. Okay,

626
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: but let's just say, let's just say two seasons, who's

627
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: the better wide receiver? Gallop or Cooper. I think Gallup

628
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: has more upside. Okay, well, let's go with Gallup. I

629
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: just think that I think Cooper is a good receiver.

630
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't want it this to be taken as disrespect.

631
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: He's a really good receiver. But I do feel as

632
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: if as good as Gallup is, he has so much

633
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: more untapped potential um and he's younger, right, He's younger,

634
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: so he has a lot more room to go. So

635
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, two years from now,

636
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: you might be talking about Cooper trying to shut it down,

637
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, within you know, within the next two or

638
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: two or three, you know, probably two to four years.

639
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: Versus Gallup. He's ready to roll. He's young, he's quick,

640
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he's fast, he got hands, you know,

641
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's just getting going. They're just starting that.

642
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: He's just starting to get that respect And as soon

643
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: as you started getting that respecting round of the league,

644
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: that's when you start seeing that big leap in guy's production.

645
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Gallup. Heckl, what do you

646
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: have to say with now? No, I typically leave all

647
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers talk to Isaiah being the instorable naire than years. However,

648
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't see that. I think Mark

649
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: Cooper is definitely the better talent. Just look at where

650
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: they were drafted and based off of, you know, their

651
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: tenure in the in the NFL. I'm gonna go with

652
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: Amark Cooper. I think that he's a better route runner,

653
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: has better hands for sure then Michael Gallup. I mean,

654
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: his upside is there. I agree with you, Isaiah, I

655
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: think that the production can be there. But he'll, you know,

656
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: whether he's here or somewhere else. I think he's going

657
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: to be your proverbials number two receiver, and Amara Cooper

658
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: has you know, pretty much being paid and has been

659
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: respected around the league as a number one you know,

660
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: so I'm going Cooper. So Rob, do you think that

661
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: even I mean, Cooper is not that much older than

662
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup specifically, so I don't know if he's gonna

663
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: wind it down as quickly as some people may think.

664
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: But do you think that there's a chance the Gallup

665
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: could be a better receiver than Cooper in a couple

666
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: of years? I see, I Isaiah is the authority on this.

667
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: I agree, no question about it. I just I just

668
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: think I would probably lean towards Amari because yeah, he

669
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: is He's he turns twenty seven in June, so yeah,

670
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: he's still got a few years to go. I think

671
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: I think he can still get better. I do agree

672
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: that Michael Gallup has the ability to develop into a

673
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: number one receiver. Now, the great question is, like Isaiah

674
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of hinted at it, will it be here? You know,

675
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: how much how much resources can you devote to that

676
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver position? Because he's entering the final year of

677
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: his deal. He got CD on a contract for another

678
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: what four years? Yeah? Yes, And but you know what

679
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: do you do there? You know, because the franchise tag

680
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: next year this year for wide receivers like sixteen million,

681
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: it would be higher next year probably, So I don't

682
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: know that that's that's really interesting. But I mean, right now,

683
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with him being kind of the Chris

684
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Godwin to Mike Evans in Tampas. So, yeah, what do

685
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: you think, Kyle? I think Amari Cooper would be the

686
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: better receiver in two years, just because if you're looking

687
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: at Michael Gallup, and yes, he does have a potential ceiling,

688
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: but Amari has already hit a ceiling as a Pro

689
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: Bowl wide receiver, as a guy who is a number one,

690
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: who has proven to be number one, and even in

691
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: a year like this past one where he didn't have

692
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: his normal quarterback or an offensive line blocking for that

693
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: not normal quarterback, then all of a sudden, he still

694
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: has an incredible year. Gallup struggled a little bit, of course,

695
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: CD being a rookie, had his ups and downs. So

696
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: I think Cooper being the floor is much higher than Gallup.

697
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: Plus I think the ceiling is a little bit higher

698
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: than Gallop. I love Michael Gallup as a wide receiver

699
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: and I want him here in Dallas, But like you said,

700
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: it's starting to look more and more unlikely that he's

701
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: going to be a long term piece to this Cowboys offense,

702
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: especially with the turnover that you do see a wide receiver,

703
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: because of the talent that comes out of these draft classes,

704
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: because of the depth at the position, in the way

705
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: that it's going in terms of these offenses in the NFL,

706
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if Michael Gallup's going to get a

707
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: second contract in Dallas, not because he's not good enough,

708
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: but because we may not be able to afford him,

709
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys front office. And so I still

710
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: think it's Cooper, but it's Gallop. I mean the fact

711
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: that Gallops, even in the conversation, is respect enough to

712
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: Michael Gallant to say, hey, you're there, continue growing and

713
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: he'll be there pretty soon. So I like that. All right,

714
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: so this is a great question. Yeah once I oh no,

715
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, man, and all of that

716
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: has something to do with the development of Cede Lamb.

717
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: If c Lamb takes over as a number one receiver

718
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: next year twenty twenty one, I think everybody will start

719
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: thinking about saving money and the cap hit that you

720
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: may get from releasing of Mary Cooper. If Cede Lamb

721
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: just takes that leap to be the guy that you

722
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: think that you drafted him to be. So I think

723
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: all of those things are relative. I didn't mean in

724
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: a row. So you're a good question. Now, that's one

725
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: thing about that though. One thing One thing about that though,

726
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: is that you know, that's an interesting thought. It's just

727
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: if you get it kind of ties back into the

728
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: situation they're in. If they need to restructure Marie Cooper's

729
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: deal to create space this year, then you're talking about, Okay,

730
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: we go kicking the can down the road and create

731
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: big number is at the end of this. So it's

732
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: that's why these decisions are really because you got a

733
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: factor in not this year, but many years down the road. Well,

734
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: and even saying that, Rob, you got to start making

735
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: decisions now. Whenever it comes to Michael Gallup, you may

736
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: not be able to wait until the end of the

737
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one campaign. Because he's an unrestricted free agent.

738
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: He's going to be open to whatever other teams are

739
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: potentially going to throw his way, unless they wanted to

740
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: throw a franchise tag at him. So it's like it's

741
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: a lose lose situation right now with Michael Gallup, and

742
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: I think that's why that's the popular name coming up

743
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: of a player that could be really good yet move on,

744
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of like what we saw with Byron Jones last year.

745
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: It's the same sort of deal where you're just not

746
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: there financially even though he is totally there in terms

747
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: of the play on the field. All Right, So this

748
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: is from Tom Downey, our guy on Twitter does fantastic

749
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: work covering the Cowboys as well. Yeah, TD, he is fantastic.

750
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: So he said, what's your nightmare scenario for this offseason?

751
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: This is gonna be fun because nobody likes talking about

752
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: the nightmare scenario, but it very easily could turn into

753
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: a nightmare scenario this offseason for the Cowboys. So if

754
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: we had to pick something, Rob, what would be your

755
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: nightmare twenty twenty one Cowboys off season nightmare for this year, yes?

756
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Or next year? This offseason twenty twenty one, ye, forget

757
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: what you're we're in. Nightmare scenario for me is not

758
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: signing Dak to a long term deal, because if you don't,

759
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens in twenty twenty two, Because

760
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about how difficult it could be

761
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: to slot thirty seven point seven million, imagine it being

762
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: fifty four point four next year, and if that is

763
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: just untenable and unrealistic to do, then you're letting him

764
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: test the market next March. So I just to me,

765
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: you know, every like you said Kyle beginning of the show,

766
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: everything kind of revolves around Dak. It's the biggest domino,

767
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: this contract. And that's why, because if you don't get

768
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: it done, you want him to be your long term quarterback.

769
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: It's it's it's gonna be harder to get it done

770
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: next year than it is right now. Yeah. Nightmare, nightmare scenario. Yeah,

771
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: nightmare scenario for me would be, you know, obviously Dak

772
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: not getting signed and what do we do with that?

773
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: Does Tyron Taylor as he our starting quarterback next year.

774
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: That's yeah, nightmare scenario. I'm just start. Come on, you

775
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: asked me for the nightmare. I'm getting it to you. Um. Um,

776
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: let's say, right tackle wise, Leo Collins is not able

777
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: to come back. Um, he's still a year away. And

778
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: we you know, Tyron Smith plays a couple of games

779
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: this year and then he goes down. You know, God

780
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: forbid that. Uh, and then we're right back to square

781
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: one where we were last year. Offensive line, we hadn't

782
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, tried to get any depth or anything there.

783
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: And maybe Cunning or Government is your right right guard

784
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: and Zach has to kick out to right tackle things

785
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, we know what the telltale signs

786
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: things kind of snowball. And for the organization, that would

787
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: be it. And you know, defensively, not getting another corner,

788
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 1: not getting another guy with Diggs. We have to get

789
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: some type of veteran leadership has just been my opinion.

790
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: Whether it be and I know Isaiah said Richard Sherman

791
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: would be a guy, but we gotta get a veteran

792
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: in here as well. I mean, I think Reggie Robinson,

793
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: we still don't know where he is as far as

794
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: if he's I think that he's not gonna be a safety,

795
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: so it is going to be a corner this year.

796
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: So a lot of things that we have to look

797
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: at defensively, but also, like I said, offensive line, that

798
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: would be a nightmare scenario for us in an effective

799
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: running game. Isaiah, Yep, I'm going with you had that one. Heck,

800
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: offensive line. If you don't handle your offensive line, if

801
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: you end up where you were this year, nightmare, nightmare,

802
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: regardless if you get Dak or not. Dak is obviously

803
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: everybody needs dack back, wants dack back. But the reality

804
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: is a lot of teams can make a lot of

805
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: things work if you just have an okay quarterback. Even

806
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: if you had Anny Dalton in there with our with

807
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: our starting off as a line, guess what, you're winning

808
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: some games. That's the reality. You're winning. You're winning. You're

809
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: winning enough games to give yourself a chance of the playoffs. So, uh,

810
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: Dak obviously number one, Like you said, heck, but old line,

811
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: that's that would be a travisy if you didn't have that,

812
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: And if you can't sure up that back end of

813
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: that of that defense, that's that's the worst case scenario too,

814
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: because it's a throwing league. Now these guys would throw

815
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: all over you like they did this year. That's that's good.

816
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: How about how about this one too? This one doesn't

817
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: really relate to personnel. What if you know, this offseason

818
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: is virtual, just like it was last year, and that's

819
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: what it sounds like at least part of it's going

820
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: to be that way. What you know, what if dan

821
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Quinn comes in and you know, they get the training

822
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: camp and it's the communication is not what it needs

823
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: to be like last year, you know, and guys aren't

824
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: comfortable with the skin. I mean, I'm just thinking worst case.

825
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: That's why I think hiring dan Quinn made a lot

826
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: of sense because, you know, proven coordinator, a scheme that

827
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are familiar with that should ease

828
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: some of the logistical problems that you may have where

829
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: there's no OTAs potentially there no mini camps like That's

830
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: a big part of dan Quinn's job coming in making

831
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: sure guys are comfortable and making sure guys are put

832
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: in the right places. Because you know, I think things

833
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: are getting better as a country with this pandemic, But

834
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: as far as the league structure, I don't know that

835
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be a normal off season

836
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: again this year. You know, it's a crazy night mess

837
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: scenario right there. That's it. Thank you, Rob Day, you

838
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: just hit it well, you know it's crazy about the

839
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: whole thing is is it's it's interesting to talk about

840
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: nightmare scenarios in the future, but couldn't we tap twenty

841
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: twenty like just the whole Cowboy season as a deplete

842
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: nightmare scenario, because I mean virtual officas that could go wrong,

843
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, changing the scheme, everybody gets hurt. It

844
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: was just that it was it was a nightmare scenario

845
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: and you end up going six and ten and it

846
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: just doesn't end up working out in your favor. So hey,

847
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: hopefully things get a tick better going into twenty twenty

848
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: one and then we're even are less severe nightmare scenarios

849
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: are better than better than others, So hopefully that's the

850
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: case moving into this offseason. When we come back here

851
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: on Talking Cowboys presented by Geico, will continue answering some

852
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: fan questions. What is the health at on that offensive

853
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: line with left tackle Tyrant Smith and right tackle Lyle Collins.

854
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: Got a couple of people asking about that and potentially

855
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: drafting a tackle as well. We'll ask that and plenty

856
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,759

Speaker 1: didn't even have the hand shaking, you know what I'm saying, Like,

914
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: you didn't have the fluctuations in the boys. Your hand

915
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: wasn't even turning. I mean cool. Heckma, I liked it.

916
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: I liked it. That was like Simon trying to kiss

917
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: the rim last night he went for it was close,

918
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: but just not close that Kyle. How would you rate that, Kyle?

919
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: I'd be right there with you. I'd give it. Wow.

920
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: You you set the bar so high for those every week,

921
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, if it doesn't reach it, it's still good.

922
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: Like your floor is still good. Your worst one's probably

923
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: still started off. But he said, it's like a symphony

924
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: in my hand, Kyle. He was like, he was like, no,

925
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: I was like, it's like a symphony in my hand.

926
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go back to the ship. I

927
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: gotta go back to the ship. All right. Yeah, Okay,

928
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: he's got it. See now, now this is this is

929
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: constructive criticism. We're gonna make sure and get him better

930
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: for next week. Everybody keep twoing in. There's a difference

931
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: between there's pre ESPN heck and post ESPN Hollywood on us, Hollywood,

932
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: that's what it is. You know what I'm saying what

933
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: guys are when I get that contract. You know, when

934
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: I get that contract, they're never the same, Kyle, they

935
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't down. By the way, We've got some really good questions,

936
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: and Isaiah, I want you to be on this this

937
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: question pretty emphatically. I need you to wake up a

938
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: little bit. I know you're worried about the new show

939
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: that's coming up. I need you to wake up here.

940
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'm here. Joe Rodriguez, who does great work

941
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: on a Cowboys blog, he asked a bit of a

942
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: hypothetical here. If Jason Garrett was still the head coach,

943
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: do you think a Dack deal would have been done

944
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: earlier than what we would have seen as well as

945
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: we have seen with Mike McCarthy as the head coach.

946
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you think that plays any sort of factor in

947
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing? Tim Really, I would say yes. I

948
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: would like to say yes, but but the Jones family

949
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: no explain. And I say that as to say that,

950
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: I feel let me let me leave with that. I

951
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: feel as if they listen to you, let me put

952
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: it this way, not a white man can't jump say it.

953
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: They hear the coach. Okay, they hear the coach, but

954
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: they're not listening to the coach. Jimmy, but you're not

955
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: listening to ye here, Jimmy, but you're not listening to Jimmy. Man,

956
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: you're not listening to him, you know. So I think

957
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: that they take what you have with the coaches have

958
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: to say. It's a consideration, but at the end of

959
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: the day, where the jones is and we make the

960
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: decisions around here. So um, I hope it's not like that,

961
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's like that. I don't know

962
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 1: if the fellas have to think about that properly, I don't.

963
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it would make more of a difference

964
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: than it is. I mean, you know, they were trying

965
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: to get this deal done. It's starting two years ago

966
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 1: when he became eligible. Dak mcame eligible for the extension,

967
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 1: and honestly, from what I recall, right before the twenty

968
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: nineteen season, that's Jason's last year has head coach here.

969
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: It was close, it was pretty close to getting done

970
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: and it turned out not working out. And then then

971
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: here comes the tag the following march. I do know this.

972
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe this is lip service. You know. Mike McCarthy,

973
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he wanted this job was he

974
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: wanted to coach Dak Prescott a quarterback. So you know,

975
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it was something that he just kind

976
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: of had to inherit that quarterback situation. Um So, I

977
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: don't think that factors in just my personal opinion. Hey, well, yeah,

978
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: the question is provocative, gets the people going, But I

979
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: don't think one thing has anything to do with another.

980
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jason Garry would have had, uh

981
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: would have had any input on whether they find Dack

982
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: to a you know, market value deal which made him

983
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: the highest paid quarterback at the time. I just I don't.

984
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that. I don't. Um. And so,

985
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: and when you make a great point also pee when

986
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 1: you talk about Mike McCarthy and and how his job

987
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: now is really tied tied into the signing up Dak Prescott,

988
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: because if they're not able to get a quarterback that

989
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: is viable and can leave this team to a playoff,

990
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: then how hot is his seat gonna be mid season?

991
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: You know how things get around here, And so those

992
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: grumblings hadn't started yet, but they're gonna happen if we

993
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: don't get Dak signed and we are miserable as fans

994
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: next year, So that's gonna be That's interesting. That's it.

995
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: That's an interesting question. But I don't think it has

996
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: any um. I don't think it has any weight, whether

997
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: the coach or not. Yeah, I don't think. I don't

998
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: think McCarthy's in the room being like, that's hold up here,

999
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: hold on, we're sure we want to do this. I don't.

1000
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's yeah, he had a key to

1001
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: that room. I'd love to be able to fly on

1002
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: the wall, right. I think we all would. I think

1003
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: we would all love to be a fly on the

1004
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: wall in that room. Fans, media members, even sometimes players,

1005
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: everybody would. Uh. Coaches, Uh. This is this one comes

1006
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: from Mikey Joseph final probably final question here. He says,

1007
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: hear me out. This might be the logic behind the

1008
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: craziness and the delay from the front office, and it

1009
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: has to deal with well, the salary cap a little bit.

1010
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: But he says, what about franchising Dak, drafting a left

1011
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: tackle to get around Tyrant Smith and his contract if

1012
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: he stays not so healthy or he retires in this

1013
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: year or next year, and then give Dak prescott the

1014
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: big money next year to try, like you said, to

1015
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: get around that contract. Do you think that could potentially

1016
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: play a bit of a role into the thought process

1017
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: or is this once again kicking the can down the

1018
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: road and hoping things work out in your favor. You're

1019
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: not getting Dak back if you're just not Yeah, I

1020
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: can't speak for him, I'm not I'm not his representative,

1021
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: but you're not getting him back if you if you

1022
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: franchise tag him with the expectation of literally just franchising

1023
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: him for the entire year, you're not getting him back.

1024
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: You might have just go ahead and start playing for

1025
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 1: your future with somebody else. Yeah, that would be incentivizing

1026
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: the peace sign. So that's the tack essentially do that,

1027
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: And again everybody's saying that that would be an opportunity

1028
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: to sign him. I just don't know how as far

1029
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: as the contentiousness of this whole negotiation process with opening

1030
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: up now other teams to be able to negotiate with Dak.

1031
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: So I just don't think you get him back next

1032
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: year if you tag him again. I just it just

1033
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: like I said, Yeah, like I said earlier, I mean

1034
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: fifty four million to tag him next year if that's

1035
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: what you had to do. If you I don't even

1036
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: know if you could do that. Yeah, And again like

1037
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: at that point, he's it's more incentive for him probably

1038
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: to say, well, I can test the market and really

1039
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: see exactly what I can catch on the and the

1040
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: open market. It's just it's just a situation. I don't

1041
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys want to find themselves in next year. Yeah.

1042
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 1: It kind of goes along with what you were saying

1043
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: earlier of dictating other people to do your business for you.

1044
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: And it seems like that's kind of what the Cowboys

1045
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: have done already through this whole process, because first we

1046
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: were looking at the deals that were being done with

1047
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and then and Jimmy Garoppolo. Then it moved

1048
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes and now it's Dak Prescott.

1049
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the next name up and so kicking

1050
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,479
Speaker 1: that can down the road, even with a franchise tag

1051
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: assumingly losing some money maybe with Tyrant Smith, if you're

1052
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna move on from Tyrann Smith or he'll retire or

1053
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: whatever his health ends up being, that doesn't necessarily mean

1054
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: that you have that kind of that, that leeway with

1055
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, that leverage with Dak Prescott to say, all right,

1056
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: come on back. I know we tagged you twice, but

1057
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: now we're ready for you. It does it kind of

1058
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: seems like a bit of a slap in the face there,

1059
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: doesn't it? Yeah? Yeah, what in the five things you can't?

1060
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: And we talked about the last show, how limiting not

1061
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: getting this deal done. It's gonna be to sign free

1062
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: agency everyone else. I mean, we're talking offense. We've spent

1063
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about offensive line, dag receivers,

1064
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: but the problem is our defense. It's woful. How do

1065
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: we get dan Quinn's system implemented in a season where

1066
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about virtual OTAs which we can't have that.

1067
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: We know what that's gonna get us. And so everybody's

1068
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: got to get the vaccine and get to the star

1069
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: so we could see get in each other's face to

1070
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: get this thing done. Our defense the numbers are just

1071
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: god man, we can't take the field with that again. Um,

1072
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods is also a free agent. What are we

1073
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna do there? Safety watch? We're already talking about getting

1074
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: another cornerback in this year's draft. When didn't we draft

1075
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: two corners last year? I mean, where are those guys

1076
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: that we that Where's Regie Robinson? Where are we seeing him?

1077
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: Is he is? This is this gonna be an every

1078
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: year thing where we're going back to the well to

1079
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: get another cornerback that's gonna help us A say, is

1080
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 1: anybody starting, you know, as anybody start to think safety

1081
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: at this point? Linebacker? We talked about Joe Thomas there

1082
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but we still got some problems

1083
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: and linebacker with the two guys that we have under contract.

1084
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: So it's not good. It sounds figure this out, well,

1085
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: it does? I mean and not only that, if we

1086
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: don't bring Alden Smith back and Randy Gregory is our

1087
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: guy at the at the at the end, if this

1088
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: would be his first season of playing a full year,

1089
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: we're still not I mean, we're having to deal with

1090
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: him with kid gloves to make sure that we get

1091
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: him to the regular season because of all the problems

1092
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: that we had in the past. I mean, look, the

1093
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,439
Speaker 1: salary cap, the lack of being able to get Dak

1094
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: signed has got our hands tied behind our back. Whatever

1095
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: the cap is going to be, our priority has to

1096
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: be getting our defense better getting the guys to play

1097
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: this four three, you know, a single high safety scheme

1098
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: that dan Quinn is gonna bring in. Otherwise we'll be

1099
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: right back to the drawing board again trying to figure

1100
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: out how to hell do we get our defense? How

1101
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: do we make this defensive? But didn't we just spend

1102
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: the first two segments talking about how it's offensive line

1103
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: that needs to be the priority. How is there two priorities?

1104
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: How is there three priorities? There's Dak Prescott, there's offensive line,

1105
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: there's defense. That's what's scary about this offseason, right I mean,

1106
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: that's that's what's blood curling. It gives you the bubble guts.

1107
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: There's no smelly stickers to give around because what do

1108
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: you do? What like, where do you start? And it

1109
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: starts with the quarterback? And that's what's so frustrating right now.

1110
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: It's frustrating for even medium members. I know, we all

1111
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: know this is boring to talk about because we don't

1112
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: know what's happening. We don't know what's gonna happen once

1113
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott situation is kicked down the road. Even more,

1114
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the salary cap? It's a big

1115
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: waiting game. And that's what this offseason's been so far,

1116
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: and it's frustrating everybody. Oh, we can hear it in

1117
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: your voice, Kyle, I'm talking about it. I'm frustrating, little Peppy.

1118
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. I want to talk

1119
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: about how this team's gonna get better, But I'm not

1120
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: certain that this team's gonna get better right now. I'm not.

1121
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: You can't fix it all in the draft. You can't

1122
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: fix this team with rookies immediately. It doesn't work like that.

1123
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: Sure it'll help, and it'll help you build cheap contracts

1124
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: down the road hopefully, But if you're stuck, you're stuck.

1125
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys right now are stuck. That's

1126
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: what it feels like. Well, you have to start looking

1127
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: at teams that have had success with the salary cap,

1128
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, you have to start looking at the New

1129
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: England's back in the day, what they've even implemented. And

1130
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: I think part of our strategy has been not to

1131
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: fall in love with players and not well I can't

1132
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: even say that because we have, Yeah, fell in love

1133
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: and overpaid for some guys. But you know, it's just

1134
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: one of those things where we're trying. It looks like

1135
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: we're saving money. We're being frugal, right, We're not trying

1136
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: to overpay the rest of these guys. But at some point,

1137
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: when you get to the business of building a football team,

1138
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: you want to know that you know with that first

1139
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: game on the season, that you have three guys that

1140
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: can get it done for you. That's that's the business

1141
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: of football, and that's what I think that the Cowboys

1142
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: did last year. Everyone was talking about how talented our

1143
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: roster was. Well, that talent didn't hold up. And when

1144
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: our quarterback went down, yeah, yeah, it didn't hold up

1145
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: by any means. To hit the show on a lighter note,

1146
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Just to end the show on a lighter note, our

1147
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: friend Johnny on the comment section said he just logged

1148
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: on and watched the last final minutes of this. He'll

1149
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: have to go back and watch the whole thing, but

1150
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: he said, Heckla, you look so towering. I just logged

1151
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: on and thought you had. We had all brought Shack

1152
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: on as a guest, and then he says, morning Fellers, Wow,

1153
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: that's how we're gonna do it. Yeah. I think I

1154
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: think he's not far off with the big with the

1155
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: big cabin in the background and the stop. I think

1156
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it works. I like it, Johnny,

1157
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: I apreciate it. I like it. That's gonna do it

1158
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: for us here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Geico. So

1159
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: glad you've been with us over the next hour. Hopefully

1160
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: next week we'll have more to talk about and we'll

1161
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: try and talk about more. But hey, who knows, maybe

1162
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: they'll extend it to next Tuesday and then we'll be

1163
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: back in the same scenario. But thank you for sticking
