No Cowboys. This he's 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:17.520 Talking Cowboys, straining live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:27.960 at the Star in Friscola, flowing live and now your hosts, 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.520 I say a stand back, Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeomans. 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.200 It is a terrific Talking Tuesday here on Talking Cowboys, 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.960 presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee of 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.080 the Dallas Cowboys, and we are live from the SWBC 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.159 studios at the Star in Frisco, breaking down again the 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.200 Cowboys fifty four to nineteen win over the Indianapolis coltson 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.320 week number thirteen, and today we start to turn the 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.400 page a little bit, maybe not fully turned page, but 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.160 we're peeking ahead a little bit to the next couple 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.640 of games. We've got the Texans coming up on Sunday 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.360 and then a trip to Jacksonville for the first time 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.119 in quite some time. So we welcome you in. Patrick, 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.480 no C. Walker. We've got Isaiah stand back. I'm Kyle 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.600 Yeoman's as always, Chris being running the ship in the back. 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.520 How are we doing? Everybody? Swell? Swell, swell, that's crazy 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.639 here Man fifty four to nineteen. It's about it. Yeah, 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.959 has it settled in yet? Just how big of a 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.640 beatdown that wasn't the fourth quarter? Most fourth quarter unanswered 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.520 points in Cowboys franchise history and the second most in 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.880 NFL history behind the Lions who did it back in 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.119 two thousand and six with thirty four points, so nearly 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.160 an NFL record. If you wouldn't have gone for two 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.280 and you would have kicked the bat that ended up 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.960 being blocked, you would have had an NFL record. That 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.360 was how dominant that fourth quarter was. That was a 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.200 Mortal Kombat fatality is basically what that was. That was 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.400 absolute just brutality by the Dallas Cowboys, and you'd love 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.440 to see it. Do you love? Did you have yourself 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.360 a farrito? A farrito? Did you have yourself have a farrito? 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.280 Why did you not have a farrito? Okay, so you're 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.960 you're calling it a farrito instead of a fifty burgers. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.800 It's a farrito. A lot of people calling it fifty 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.720 brisket because Dallas tenderized Indianapolis enough to wear it just 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.720 felt a part in its own If I like fifty 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.760 brisk forty burger fifty brisket. I like fifty brisket, So 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.160 what's sixty? Oh, because I could have maybe that's they 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.320 could have hit sixty. I don't know that kind of 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.320 that would that would be weird to work into a 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.160 farrito or a burrito or whatever, because sixty and t stadiums, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.720 like the tortilla and everything inside of it was just 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.720 a mess. M So it's a burrito. It's a farrito, farrito, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.080 a fifty rito. How about that? Okay, okay, good to know. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.480 By the way, we've got some uh, we've got some 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.160 updates on the nickname competition coming up in a little 0:02:55.160 --> 0:03:01.239 bit because Isaiah's original nickname, the Goons altered. It's altered 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.400 a little bit. What is it now, Goon Squad. That's 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.160 officially the change. It's the goon squad. Squad to squad. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.639 You remember how to all back to back and he 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.359 had the mole stars and all. That's Goon Squad's got 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.679 booms day Defense got the Legion of of Boom or 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.120 a legion of Doom excuse me, and then the Lions. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.000 Yeah it is. It is well when you put them 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.640 back to back, once we decide on one, it's not 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.320 confusing once we once we put them back to back. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.040 It's tough, but all right, let's do some some news 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.239 and notes because there's actually a lot to get to 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.520 for a Monday. Most of it is coming from the 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:38.080 prop paparazzi of what is the Dallas media and what 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.080 has happened over the last couple of days following this 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.600 Odell Beckham saga and what it has turned into. He 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.760 is in Dallas, he has been in Dallas. He's been 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.119 around the facility. He was at the MAVs game last 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.400 night with Trayvon Diggs and Michael Parsons. But Patrick news 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.080 and notes, it's got to start with OBJ, right, Yeah, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.400 it's gonna leap off with OBJ. Jerry Jones spoke on 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.360 one or five point three from the Fan this morning 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:06.400 his weekly Tuesday morning address, and he basically confirmed that 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.000 this is going to be a two day meeting. The 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.960 Cowboys and Odell Beckham will have Part two. So the 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.200 sequel is going to be today. There's a lot of, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.960 you know, meeting with the Jones family for Odell Beckham 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.680 on yesterday, a lot of talking of medicals and business 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.440 before they took him out on a little bachelorette date 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.839 situation to the MAVs versus the Suns. And as you 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.040 stated at Kyle, he was out there with Michael Parson's 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.599 Trevon Diggs and they looked like they were having a 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.520 grand old time. Maybe not necessarily for Odell because he's 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.279 a good friend of Devin Booker. And Luca did what 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.000 Luca did and said, y'all figure out what y'all gotta do. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.279 But I got a job to do out here. So 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.000 but here we are, day two, and we'll see where 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.080 it goes, because you know, you look at what Jerry 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.479 Jones was saying this morning, and he continues to reiterate 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.920 there are a lot of variables, and he continues to 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.560 circle medical part, and we'll see if if they can 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:08.239 come to terms on that. But based on my gut 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.160 and just some conversations that I've been having, so obviously, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.120 for those that may or may or may not be aware, 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.000 no one on this panel has access to Odell's medical 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:21.120 records that we just don't, okay, But that said, we 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.920 are on record saying that that's a concern for us. Rightfully, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.200 So thirty year old second torn acl or retail as 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.400 a matter of fact, and then this retail revealed that 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.440 there were issues with the initial repair that needed to 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.560 be corrected to center cent. These are all things that 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.320 the Cowboys are having to look over, same as with 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.960 the Giant, same as with the Bills. So the question 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:48.800 of will Odell Beckham be available and in a time 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.040 frame that allows him to hit top gear by the 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.960 time the Cowboys needed most That remains the question. But 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.440 now we'll left to wonder is this a twenty twenty 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.520 three conversation for Odell Beckham Jr. Now? Because we're no 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.600 longer having this talk in mid November early November, we're 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:10.760 now approaching mid December, and it doesn't sound like there's 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.000 a ton of confidence right now. That's how anti climatic 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.479 would that be? Though, this whole conversation has started from 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.799 months and months and months ago, and now we've built 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.279 up to this point and then all of a sudden 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.520 it's like, oh, maybe he's not as healthy as we anticipated, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.960 which was always a concern. However, it was never a 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.600 forefront concern. Are you telling me now it's a forefront concern. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.520 It's a forefront concern. It's a forefront concern. When you 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.800 hear Jerry Jones use the A word availability like he 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.719 did this morning. That tells you that. And again we 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.279 don't have access to the medical records, but reading the 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.920 tea leaves that tells you that there's some uncertainty when 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.360 it comes to the medical part of it. Now, does 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.960 that mean that Odell Beckham is not one hundred percent healthy? 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.839 That's not necessarily what it means. It could mean that 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.120 he's close, or is he close, or is he's close, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.160 but maybe it'll take him longer than anticipated. I think 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.960 all of that's on the tableful conversation here at the 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.520 building in the Star today when when O'Dell returns. I 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.360 hate the fact that I always defer injury talk to 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.440 Isaiah standback, because you've went through it before and you've 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.200 almost you've had every injury in the book. However, how 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.720 when you're a player looking to go to a team, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.800 and Odell Beckham is a little different because he's got 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.040 that elite status to him. However, how nerve wracking is 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.480 it whenever you are going through that medical process, Because 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.520 you do it in the draft, every team looks at you. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.080 Everybody that's interested in you is going to get your 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.280 medicals when you when you're a free agent. How is 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.600 that different because teams are going to do their due diligence. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:49.040 The Cowboys, Britt Brown, Jim, Doctor Cooper and everybody is 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.920 giving him a glance over it. Really, it really varies 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.720 from team to team, which is kind of weird. You 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.400 would think all medicals is the same, the same, but 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.200 it's not. Every team perceived is it each case differently? Um, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.920 That's why you have your own team and doctors. That's 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.440 why you have your own trainers. You know, you know 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.760 you have Britt Brown. So maybe they're a lot more 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.600 confident in their ability to rehab somebody versus other teams, 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.520 so they should and they should be I mean, so, 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.360 I mean it really varies on a on a one 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.880 off basis at this point, man, if he gets signed, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.960 I mean, we're talking about four games left and we 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.000 have five right now, including this week, but I don't 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.440 see it. So here, I'm glad you put out that 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.760 that number because on the drive in I'm listening to Jerry, 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.000 and then once Ry was done talking, I'll still sitting 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.000 in traffic. I had a minute to kind of marinate 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.800 on the on the whole situation. Rotists arise if you will, uh, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.000 And I'm thinking that what if it's a scenario where 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.120 the conversation turns slightly from okay, can you get here 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.720 and we um get you, you know, on the field 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:54.720 in December two Okay, you could still be a major 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.200 additive for a potential playoff run. Maybe we get you 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:02.199 here and then we I are you so that you're 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.800 not taking up the roster spot four games. It's four 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.640 games left right that that puts him ready to drop 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.880 into the mix in January playoff time, Wild Car Weekend. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.400 If the Cowboys playing on Wild Car Weekend, because obviously 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.760 they have, they still have a shout at the number 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.480 one to see and even better if they can chase 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.560 down Philadelphia get the number one see because then they 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.400 get a boy. So I mean that's a scenario that 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.520 could be in discussion as well. And I mean it's 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.040 it's an option. It's what I'm saying, it's an option. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.120 But again, it's all coming down to the medicals. And 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:34.760 I know a lot of people are going to say, well, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.360 you know, it's the Cowboys and it might be coming 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.800 down the money. I don't think it's coming down the money. 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.840 I think it's pretty clear that Jerry Jones is willing 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.680 to step outside of whatever the comfort box might be 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.400 salary cap wise to get this guy, because this is 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.920 the guy that Jerry Jones wants. That Jerry Jones who 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.880 wants this guy. It's the health and you can tell 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.840 there's something there, whatever it might be, that's giving Jerry 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.960 Jones a little bit of pause. And maybe it's not 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.200 a hard nut. Clearly it's not a hard note because 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:02.920 if it was hard, no, guess what, it wouldn't be 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.040 a part. It wouldn't even be a conversation. It wouldn't 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.040 be just tied to the health. I think it could 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.160 be in the aspect of maybe how you're structuring it 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.600 in sentence versus guaranteed money, because if if we're talking, okay, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.199 let's agree hypothetically speaking, if I'm Jerry Jones and I'm 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.040 talking to Oldell Beckham Jr. And I'm saying, hey, you 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.559 know what, we thought you'd be healthier by now, ready 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.600 to go by now so you can start ramping up, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.080 and the conversation is, well, no, you cannot. Okay, let's 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.959 assume that we bring you in sign you because you 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.120 got to sign to the active roster for a couple 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.520 of days. We free back up that seat put you 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.960 on IR so you're done for the regular season. Now 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.280 I'm not I'm not guaranteeing you a lot of money 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.920 because I'm not getting any regular season games. I am 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.160 now playing you for the playoffs, so I'm paying you 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.240 for the playoffs. So now incentive lating, right, And then 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.520 you have to structure twenty twenty three that way as well, 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.360 because guess what, he came in so late in twenty 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.560 twenty two that you're going to need to see him 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:04.760 in training camps. It's a very robust, layered conversation that's happening, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.959 and that's why this is taking two days instead of one. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:12.280 But for those that do want to lean on the 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.680 side of optimism, this is not with devoid of hope, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.800 because again, if it was a hard no, the hard 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:22.080 no happens yesterday. Sure, so Odell is coming back to 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.120 the table today, which means he is highly interested. The 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.440 Cowboys are coming back to the table, which means they 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.760 are highly interested. It's just a matter of how the 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.920 conversation goes today. But there are obviously some concerns there. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.880 I think, like you said, Odell, there's interest there, but 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.000 he has the leverage. His leverage is waning at the moment. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.000 It is because the more the deeper you get into 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.520 the season, the more the money changes, because like you said, 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.160 it's tied to it. Whether or not it's it's fair, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.840 but it is, and I actually I think it's very fair. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.800 It's fair because let's say one year, one million dollars, right, 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.959 Like that's just the type fedical Monton number. I have 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.400 no idea what this would even look at. It's veteran minimum. Yeah, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.160 one year, one million. And if that's the case, he 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.319 gets put on IR and then he's there for the 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.520 playoff game. And let's say you you either win or 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.040 lose the playoff game, you're still paying him a million 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.040 dollars to just go and be on the roster for 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.000 one or two or three or four games. I mean, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.520 that's it. That's all you're paying the minimum. You go 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.520 and you win the super Bowl, which at that point 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.160 it's worth it, but you're still four games. If he's 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.719 only playing in the playoffs, would be twenty or two 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.559 hundred and fifty grand a game. I mean, it's it's 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.439 just model. It's risk reward. It is risk. The only 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:36.920 one that thinks that there's going to be an outside 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.839 team that comes in. I think so. No, Remember I 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.000 told Justin there's a dark horse somewhere, there's all Corse. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.880 I yeah, I have an idea of where I think 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.920 he where do you think say it with the chest 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.640 where he got pulled off the plane? Oh you mean Miami? 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.840 My initial dark horse where he was down the dark 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.480 course that I was down there with the heat. I've 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.760 been pounding that droom. Yeah, I keep say it for weeks. Now. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.000 I said it when you know the Dolphins were in 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.880 anybody's conversation, I said, keep an eye on that situation. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.520 It's South Beach, It's Miami. You know this past weekend, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.600 notwithstanding there right this this past weekend, notwithstanding their winning games, 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.600 it's Miami. Um so yeah, I do believe there's a 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.480 dark horse. And I also think that you have to 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.200 take consideration officerve coordinators. Yeah, you have to take into 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.280 account officsive coordinators, and what does the team do really well, 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.880 what situation you're going in, What situation you're going into. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.880 Dallas Cowboys are run first team. Yes, they passed the ball, 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.800 but their run first team, and they don't and they 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:44.920 don't necessarily have the offense that would utilize him. The 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.600 way in which he probably wants to be utilized. You 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.920 think about officer coordinates at a super creative Andy Reid 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.559 in Kansas City. He's gonna find ways to get everybody there. Okay. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.680 You think about freaking McDaniel's down there in Miami. He's 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.800 freaking guru in terms of getting guys the ball, right, 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:09.120 he has two goons down Yeah, But Odell Beckham, Cedric Wilson, 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.440 I mean we're having a different conversation Waddle and heel 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:19.440 right now. Yeah, I mean I think about it from 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.400 that perspective. If I am going to try to come 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.320 back from you know, two acls, and I do still 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.600 want to have some of that line away, and I 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.680 still want to make an impact. Who can put me 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.440 in position and make plays? I think I think you're 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.520 making such a good point. I'm losing my words at 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.840 the bowman because you're looking at the performance offensively from 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.680 the Cowboys on Sunday Night football against the Indianapolis Colts. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.840 Fifty four points check. Wow, they went crazy. That was awesome. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.720 Put up a ton of points lately. Okay, they ran 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.680 the football pretty well, you know, two hundred yards rushing. Yeah, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.200 that's great. Oh, they only threw thirty times and it 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.040 was only for one hundred and seventy yards. And as 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.160 Odell Beckham Junior, you're looking at that and saying, Okay, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.800 they play their past football when they're running the football. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.560 So where do I fit in as a key piece 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.680 of this offense? If he really does care about that, 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.560 which I think he does, he wants to be a 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.800 key part of a contender. If he cares about that, 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.240 keep that in mind, because if they're throwing the football 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.720 thirty times, you're only throwing it for one seventy that's 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.200 not necessarily going to entice a wide receiver to come 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.200 in and take a bigger chunk of this office. I 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.920 will say in very valid point, and again I can't 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.680 stress enough I believe Miami is the not a but 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.440 the dark horse. I said this, you know, a month ago, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.480 and then the week thereafter that said. I will also 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.280 say that if you're Oldelle Belcam junior, you're in a 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.600 situation where you know your medical medicals better than anyone 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.360 that you're talking to. Right, so you know that you're 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.360 coming off of a second to win Aco, and as such, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.760 you shouldn't you should be wary of having a ton 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.560 of targets from the outset. So if you were to 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.520 go to a McDaniel led offense, for example, hypothetically speaking 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.840 in your number three, but your number three in a 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.080 very past heavy offense. So as a white receiver, by default, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.760 you're thinking, Oh, I love this. I'm gonna get the ball. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.240 I'm gonna get the ball. I'm gonna get the ball. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.720 But when you consider that you need a moment. You 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.680 need a moment. Are you going to be able to 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.720 put your best foot forward initially in that Dolphin's offense 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.920 or are you going to stumble out the gate and 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.080 all of a sudden it's oh, this is a bad deal. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.280 They should have never touched Beckham the center and center. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.200 Now you put yourself risk reward. You put yourself in 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.880 a position where your brand might be damaged going into 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.720 the offseason that you probably need to be your final, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.840 your last hurrah. As far as getting a bag is concerned, 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.720 at the felt a big bag anyway. So when you 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.200 look at it from a Cowboys perspective, with that argument, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.880 you kind of have to love the fact the number 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.520 one you have an elite quarterback in Dak Prescott. You 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.480 don't have to be the one or two guy. The 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.280 tight end group is going to help as well in 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.600 the passing game. You have one of the best running 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.880 back tandems in the game, so that will make it 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:08.080 difficult for offenses. Excuse me, opposing defense, this's a scheme 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.760 for you. So, yes, today might not be your day 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.479 to have five targets. Yeah, but next week might be 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.720 your day to have seven. It just depends on how 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.399 much of a piece of the pie he wants. How 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.280 much does he want from a piece of a pie 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:26.000 standpoint to make sure he's I guess targeted, he's a 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.280 part of it. And if it's that piece of the 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.040 pie is smaller, but he's still wedding. I'm sure he 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.119 doesn't care, you know what I think. And as I 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.719 think that if it's clear he wants signed the Cowboys, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.760 I think the Cowboys are the front runner, flat out. 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.159 And if if this deal doesn't get done, then whomever 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.240 he signs with with is the contingency plan. Is the 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:45.879 plan that he already has in the back of his 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.920 head to his agent to say, you know what, if 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.320 we can't get this Cowboys thing worked out for whatever reason, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.600 you call Team Why and you tell him let's get 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:59.400 it done. Yeah, you call team, team, team, let's get 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:05.080 it done. Miami, Am I am? Why am I about that? 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.280 But it's clear that the Cowboys and O'Dell want to 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.879 get this worked out. Yep. I am just exceedingly interested 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.320 in seeing if they can get it worked out what 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.000 it would look like, because I'm starting to feel more 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.000 and more like it's it's dropping him off, dropping him 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.879 in the mix and the playoffs and not in the 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.480 regular season now, which then, of course that creates another 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.560 question mark, which you know, chemistry each week goes by chemistry, 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:33.960 not not locker room chemistry, field chemistry. The more the 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.160 more time that goes by, the more that is going 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:41.119 to become prevalent in this conversation. The health, the chemistry, 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.200 the fit, all of that stuff starts getting into a 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.040 tighter window as we get deeper on.
