Speaker 1: guy always to my right are in front of me.

34
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: Former Cowboy and Super Bowl champion and Jim owner Champ

35
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: is here. The Champ is here, Isaiah Stanback brother, how

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: are you guys doing today? Well, we're good, We're good,

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know what, Kyle's doing his thing out of town.

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Why but he's in spirit with us right now. They

39
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: just passed the postseason overtime rule for Kyle just now

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: at the spring meeting that they do exactly what he

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: was asking for it. It's probably gonna make everybody. I

42
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: don't know the total ins and outs, but it says

43
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: both teams now get a possession in the postseason ot

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: not regular season. Somehow, I think that's gonna change after

45
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: next season. They're not gonna be pleased with that either. Yes,

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeoman's is in New York visiting his fiancee's family,

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: who's probably threatening him every thirty minutes. So good luck

48
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: with that, Kyle. We will make sure that we do

49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: a good job in your absence. But guys, let's talk

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: about it. Had an opportunity to hear the interview from

51
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: owner a general manager Jerry Jones in Florida. He was

52
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: holding court with the media and had some things to

53
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: say about how he is putting this team together. But

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I thought what was most interesting was his discussion on

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: evaluating but ten to eleven players and the harsh, well,

56
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: the difficult decisions that he had head and p I'm

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna start with you, but what were your thoughts on

58
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: the interview? Man? Well, you're right, we got some insight

59
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: on why Amari Cooper's not here anymore, why Randy Gregory

60
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: is not here anymore. And it does come down to

61
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: what you just said. He talked about how if you've

62
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: got ten or eleven guys taken up two thirds of

63
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: your salary cap, you gotta get your bank for your buck.

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: Now we can we can debate whether, you know, like

65
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: an Amari Cooper is featured enough in the offense to

66
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: get the bang for the buck. That's a whole separate

67
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: discussion with a Mari. But that's he feels good about

68
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: what their cap situation now is, and actually scribbled this

69
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: now with some chicken scratch, we are better with our money,

70
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: with our resources, we are better. We're in better shape

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: than we were this time last year. So basically, and

72
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned this last week, what they did with Randy's money,

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: which was going to be roughly I think fourteen a year,

74
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: fourteen million a year, they resigned a bunch of guys

75
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: and brought in Dante Fowler and James Washington and fit

76
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: that under the cap because they do have a lot

77
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: of needs. Quantity. Quantity is kind of what they've been

78
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: going for. And look, you can debate whether that's the

79
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: right strategy or not, but that's that's that's where he's

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: coming from. And in the words of Steven Jones, we

81
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: got three players for one player. So Isaiah, I turned

82
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to you, and I want to ask you philosophically, as

83
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: as a front office, with the substitutions, the addition by

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: subtraction that they made over the last couple of weeks,

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: where are you as far as the way that this

86
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: thing has started to shape up roster wise going into

87
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: this season? Are you think you think they're making the

88
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: right moves? These are tough decisions that they're making. Are

89
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: these decisions that you would have made if you had

90
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: that hat? No, no, no, they're not decisions that I

91
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: would have made. But I understand it, you know, And

92
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: I always, I'm always understands that you don't have to

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: like the decisions that are being made, but you have

94
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: to understand that, I mean, you gotta respect them. And

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: I think that's where I'm at right now in Cowboys Nation.

96
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: I think that Jerry Jones and the rest of the

97
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: squad are doing a great job. I think I said

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: that last week in terms of creating value, they are

99
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: doing a great job in that people don't like to

100
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: hear that because the superstars have left the building. Some

101
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: of the superstars have left the building, and I understand

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: the attachment to that the big name players, guys with

103
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: big contracts that followed, guys weren't being utilized to the

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: value in which they were being paid. And that's the

105
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: angle that he's speaking from. I don't believe he's speaking

106
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: from the standpoint. I hope he's not speaking from the

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: standpoint and saying that these players weren't worth what they

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: were getting paid. I do believe that he's standing behind

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: the scene. At least from my perspective, they just weren't

110
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: utilizing them. So if you have a Duly truck, right,

111
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: you got a Ford, you know, F three fifty and

112
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you know you got you got the Duly, you know,

113
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: and you're putting gas in it. Yeah, but we're great sponsors.

114
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: But if you don't, if you're only driving to the

115
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: grocery store, what's the point of having a big boy truck, right,

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: If you're not if you're not putting anything in the

117
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: back of the truck, if you're not pulling anything, there's

118
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: no point of having a truck. Or get a golf cart, right,

119
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: or go get some go get some small They weren't

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: utilizing their big boy you know, in terms of Coop.

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: He was capable of so much, but they weren't utilizing him.

122
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: So if you're not gonna utilize him, get rid of

123
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: that and use that money elsewhere. And I think that's

124
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: exactly where Jerry Jones is coming from when he was

125
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: speaking about the speaking on those matters. And I think

126
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: they've done a great job of finding value with those

127
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: funds that they were going to have tied up. And

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Randy's a little bit of a different story because that deal,

129
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: it was damn near done verbally not signed, but but

130
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: they wanted and I think they went up from what

131
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: they were offering initially to get that done. And then

132
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week. There was whatever happened

133
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: there that I think obviously Randy Side was not happy

134
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: with some language in the contract whatever, and but Jerry

135
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: talked about how there was still some discussion that it

136
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: might get done. He spoke to that yesterday and then

137
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: ultimately said El Paso, we're gonna pass on that, We're

138
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna move on, and we're gonna fill holes

139
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: with that money with multiple players and and and Almari.

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: They just wanted they clearly they just wanted to move on.

141
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: From Mikey Wise and I'm glad you bring that up, man,

142
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: because when I read the word el paso, I'm gonna

143
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: use that and everything and then I do from now.

144
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Wouldn't met the butcher block when they offered me passo

145
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: at this I mean to me, that was just reading

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: in between the lines that that was, you know, hit

147
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the road, Jack and and Jerry's terms. And it seemed

148
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: like Randy Gregory was the one with all the beef

149
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: by not signing. We heard so much from him basically

150
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: saying that, look, you know, these guys tried to cut

151
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: in language and stuff like that, but but Jerry just

152
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: made it seem like I just wasn't gonna do what

153
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: they were asking me to do, especially if they wanted

154
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: more money. Is that the take that you got from it?

155
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Or did you think that it was just one of

156
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: those things where it got contentious and he threw his

157
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: hands up. I haven't. I have not asked anyone since

158
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: I heard that, but I my first thought was it

159
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: probably had something to do with the structure of the

160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: the language, like maybe maybe if they taken some of

161
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: their standard stuff out, then maybe Brandy would have come back.

162
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Um that apparently that was that's not part of the

163
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: Denver's offer, that that language wasn't in there, about forfeiture

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: language and all that stuff. And Randy said, well, I'm

165
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, nah, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna move off

166
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: of that. And and that's that's the weird thing about

167
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: it was after the start it came out that this

168
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: is language that is universal. Everyone sort of has that

169
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: in their contract and Randy just obviously wasn't having it.

170
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: But guys, if you've paid attention to the fan base,

171
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: they are pissed off. Hey, there's no other way to

172
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: put it. They're disappointed in years past. I don't think

173
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in years past the Cowboy fans just

174
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: pissed off at the front office by moves that they're making.

175
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: Are not making free agent acquisitions and all of that,

176
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: and they haven't done that in a decade or so,

177
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: not making a splash. Do you have faith up until

178
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: this point that there will be some type of big

179
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: trade happening in a free agent acquisition or do you

180
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: think they are fooling themselves by thinking that they can

181
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: get everything that they need in the draft. I don't

182
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: think they're done. I don't think they're done. I don't

183
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: know how many more big splashes. I think if you're

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna get a big splash, I believe that it would

185
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: come in the form of like a Bobby Wagner. I

186
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: think that's what And I don't think that they have

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: the money to spend on Bobby Wagner, so that would

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: be a big splash. So I think that they obviously

189
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: have some key areas that need to get shirt up.

190
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: Some players are no longer available on the office of

191
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: line front. Guys are being in scooped up left and right,

192
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: so it doesn't seem as if they're that aggressive in

193
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: that nature. But you've seen some of these numbers also

194
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: that guys are getting, and the reality is their salary

195
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: cap situation doesn't allow for them to go out and

196
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: sign the big boys that everybody wants. That's the reality.

197
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: Everybody that is that you have circled on your list

198
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: that you want on this team is going to demand

199
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: big boy money. I mean, we're talking at least probably

200
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year for most of these guys.

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Do they have that, no, sir, Rebob. So the reality

202
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: is the Cowboys are going to have to build this

203
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: team through the draft or through some trains, which the

204
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: trades are problem not likely at this point in time.

205
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to go find some talent that's

206
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: sitting around at the house that didn't get the big

207
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: money that they were hoping for. Right, free agents, you

208
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: don't like like Vanders, Right Vanders, They say, hey, go

209
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: out there and test it out. Oh there's no there's

210
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: nobody out there. Okay, yeah, come on back home. Right,

211
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: So they don't have to look for some guys like

212
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: that that are just sitting around hoping for the big opportunities,

213
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: and then scooped them up on some some very friendly deals.

214
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: But that's how they're going to have to add some

215
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: veteran depth as well as adding some players through the draft.

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: But there are some very key roles and positions that

217
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: have to be addressed, and those are very risky picks

218
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. You started talking about tackle positions, you

219
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: start you started talking about you know, you know linebackers.

220
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: You know the key guys in a linebacker rush guys.

221
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: These are guys that you can swing a miss. You

222
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: can swing a miss. If you hit it, you hit it.

223
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: But that's a high probability, you know, even in baseball.

224
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Three hundreds are good batting presenters, but you still missing

225
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: seven out of ten. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, I don't.

226
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they're done either in free agency, but

227
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see a huge swing and a

228
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: big game changing guy come in through free agency. I

229
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: think they're draft meetings start Monday, and I think that's

230
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: the larger focus will shift to that pretty soon. Um.

231
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was on a conference call with the media.

232
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: He did not go to the spring meetings in Florida

233
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: this week. Dave Hellman was on the phone with him.

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Shout out today for helping us out there. Um. And

235
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: and they're going to Bama's Pro day tomorrow. You know,

236
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be knee deep in draft stuff. But

237
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: I think they've still got things to do in free agency.

238
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: They got to get a kicker. They were hopeful to

239
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: resign Greg's rline on a more probably more team friendly deal.

240
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: That did not happen. He went to the Jets. Um.

241
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: He acknowledged that that interior offensive line, guard center or

242
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: wherever is a spot where they could use some help

243
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: in free agency if it presents itself. I know, you know,

244
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: but like you said, who's who's out there? Will Hernandez

245
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: just signed with the Cardinals. He was a guy that

246
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: could be kind of you know, I think you could

247
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: view him as a as a stop gap, a cover,

248
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: cover yourself guy, bridge player and then going to the

249
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: the way they do this, I mean, that's James Washington,

250
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: perfect example for the receiver position going in. Um, those

251
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: are two spots that stand out right away. And but

252
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think the heavy lifting at this point's

253
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: got to go through the draft. But we've got a

254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers signed since we has met? Correct, didn't we

255
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: sign a Pro Bowler back? Which Pro Bowler? Yes? Freaking Anger?

256
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yes, you got? I mean we got. How

257
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: are you just gonna just disregard a pro two of

258
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: them in the whole league? My bad? Yes, Anger is back.

259
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: Anger the kickers back right, three millions. He's one of

260
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: the top two players in the world. I'm sorry if

261
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: I didn't just either. Yeah, that's hey, I know. But

262
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: he changed the dynamic of this defense last year. He

263
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: helped them out a ton. Tell you what, there are

264
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: some games in December I'm thinking New Orleans and they

265
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: just couldn't get anything going consistently. Offensively. He was a

266
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: big part of with him winning these ugly games down

267
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the stretch. But feel position ball control, we did a

268
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: lot of that. But nothing sexy so far. No, no,

269
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: nothing sexy. And it's one of those It's one of

270
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: those times in the off season. I got a picture

271
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: of the night professor when his wife trying to come

272
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: out on sex. He said, what are you doing that,

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Curtin role? Nothing sexy happening right now. And I think

274
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, everyone is kind of like,

275
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: how do you think you're going to fair with this?

276
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: And it going to coming into twenty twenty one, no

277
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: one had the expectations, especially with the defensive line. I

278
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: think you still kind of had some confidence in your

279
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: offensive line that was probably misplaced, but I think that's

280
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: where you had the most confidence. But just from the

281
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: outside looking in, it just seems as though status quo

282
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: may not get the Cowboys where they need to be,

283
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: because if you look around the NFC East, they're getting

284
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: other teams are getting better. I mean, they have the

285
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: cap space and they are bringing in players that that

286
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: doesn't make you nervous to think that, oh, we're just

287
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: staying status quo right now, and not making any stride. No,

288
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: it makes me nervous. It does. It does because and

289
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: while they have signed a couple guys to fill some spots,

290
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: and it allows them to be a little bit more

291
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: flexible with their cap like they want to be. Like okay,

292
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: like to your point this time every year, fans playing

293
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter and especially my mail bag inbox, I'm kind

294
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: of doing this when I'm opening and because it's it's tough.

295
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: But I think you're right, Like I think, I think

296
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: fans are even more frustrated, at least a group of

297
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: fans that we see on social media are because you

298
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: throw in not only their strategy, and you can debate

299
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: whether it's the right strategy to have in free agency,

300
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: but they've they've lost Tomari Cooper, they lost law Collins,

301
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: they lost Randy Gregory, and and there have not been

302
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: signings or additions that make you feel like, well we upgraded,

303
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: certainly not upgraded. You filled the spots, but you know,

304
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: but like Jerry said, we weren't better yes yesterday. He said,

305
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: we weren't better before the draft, until we got Michael Parsons,

306
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: or until we got Ceedee Lamb two years ago. I

307
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: think they're saying, wait and see, we're not We're not

308
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: done yet. But no, I mean they're It's hard to

309
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: look at this roster right now and say, well, they're

310
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: they're better than they were last year. I don't see

311
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: that on paper. I don't see. And some of that

312
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: frustration also stems from the fact that you see how

313
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: other teams are getting more bang for their bucks. And

314
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like the Trek Tyrek Hill trade, I mean,

315
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: think about what Miami gave up for him and what

316
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: we got for Amari Cooper Adams. That's a whole a

317
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: nother subject. I'm just saying, why did we why did

318
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: we give up so much leverage pe in that situation,

319
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: even with Leo Collins. I mean we basically let this

320
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: guy walk, and we gave up a first for Coop,

321
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: got a fifth for him, and I mean literally like,

322
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: we're not And even with Randy Gregory not able to

323
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: get anything if he's gonna leave, We're not. Even this

324
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: is not a sign and trade. He basically essentially goes

325
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: and we get nothing. Well, Randy's different, yeah, because he's

326
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: unrestricted and he could just he could just walk. Um

327
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: diamari one. I think people look at that one eye

328
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: opened right now because the Tyree news that happened with Miami,

329
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: um Davante Adams goes to Vegas and and they get

330
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: a nice haul of draft picks, right. I mean, I

331
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: think those guys are I think the differences. Those guys

332
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: are top five like game changing players. And this is

333
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna probably sound like a knock on a

334
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper as not because I think they should have

335
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: kept a Mari Cooper, but those guys are have been

336
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: game changing players for teams that have won Super Bowls,

337
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: are competed for Super Bowls lately, and I think that's

338
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: that's where the difference is. Um And it's kind of

339
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: a what have you done for me lately? League? You know,

340
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: and and a Mari he didn't have a big year

341
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: last year. We can debate why, but I think it's

342
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I think those guys are considered at a different level.

343
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: Plus the Cowboys, it was well known the Cowboys were

344
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna move on from Amar if they heard, you know,

345
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: and I don't there wasn't any report out there that, oh, there,

346
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs are gonna cut Tyreek Hill. I mean,

347
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that was gonna happen. I think the

348
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys gave up a lot of leverage by letting that

349
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: information kind of leak out. And Isaiah, I guess my

350
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: question to you as a wide receiver, and you if

351
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: the Cowboys already knew they were going to move off

352
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper, why not get something bigger for a

353
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: guy that you put a first You traded a first four,

354
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: and then you see later that teams are getting you know, first, second, third,

355
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean future picks. And I like what you said.

356
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: You know these guys are game changing receivers, But I'm

357
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: sorry when we got Amari Cooper, wasn't that the thought

358
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: process that he was that game changing guy? And if

359
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: he's not, he was twenty eighteen. Hem was the reason

360
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: you got to the playoffs. So I mean, let's say

361
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: three through five, where is Amari Cooper in the list

362
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: of great wide receivers in the NFL? And I kind

363
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: of look at it just just to finish up to me,

364
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: there's it's like talking about quarterbacks, like there's a difference

365
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: between like Dax and excellent. I think he's an excellent quarterback,

366
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: but there's different levels, Like there's guys, there's Rogers, Brady's

367
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, and then to me, that's where a Mari

368
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: is below those guys and what they've done the last

369
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: couple of years. I think that's when the Cowboys obviously

370
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: feel the same way, because they didn't they weren't willing

371
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: to push money into future years on Amar's deal and

372
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: say hey, you're gonna be part of our future. They

373
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: felt like, based on the production, we're gonna move on.

374
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I agree. I think Tyreek Hill is obviously he got

375
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: what he should have gotten. I mean, he's that dynamic

376
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: of a player. You look at DeVante Adam and say

377
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: he's that dominant of a player. Amari Cooper is very capable.

378
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm not putting him in that same conversation with them

379
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: simply because those guys just single handley can disrupt the game.

380
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: I think Amari Cooper can too, but they can in

381
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: any system. So to that point, yes, I feel like

382
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys still should have gotten more value for him. Now,

383
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: should they have been able to get a first and

384
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: all these other No, but they should at least been

385
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: able to get a third round pick for him, A

386
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: couple of third round picks, you know, But I think

387
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: that it would have needed to happen during a season,

388
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: because as soon as the season ended, we're got out

389
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: and everybody's looking at their salary cap issues. Amar's chances

390
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: are he's probably not gonna He's not being utilized. It

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like killing more cares for him, you know whatever.

392
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: All these rumors about what he possibly said about Day,

393
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff that started coming about, and

394
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: you just realized that you were losing all your leverage

395
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: in terms of your ability to actually trade him away

396
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: because teams were like, oh, we'll just away from him

397
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: become a free agent. Yeah. I agree mainly that, but

398
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: but I also wonder maybe if his contract has something

399
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: to do with it, because he's got three years left

400
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: on a deal that a team, some team has to absorb.

401
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is on the franchise tag, you can rip

402
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: that up and sign him to whatever you want, and

403
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek was on a very team friendly one year left

404
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: on his contract too. I think it's a little different

405
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: when you look at financially. Maybe Cleveland's happy. Cleveland's very happy.

406
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Yeah they are, And obviously they're gonna use Amari Cooper

407
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: a lot differently than we did. H And I like

408
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: what you just brought up just the details of how

409
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: those guys's contracts were expiring, and obviously on the franchise tag,

410
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: and those guys were completely different our guys, meaning the

411
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: guys that were here. But I love what you said

412
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: as well, when you led off by saying that, Look,

413
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: it's like having a dully that you only used to

414
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and now you send it

415
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and it's a car hauler. It's doing all

416
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: the hauling horses and heat, showing you how basically showing

417
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: you how to use this thing. And I think that's

418
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: exactly where things are going in and for us, I

419
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: think the fan base is really ticked off about the

420
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: lack of compensation that we could have gotten. What are

421
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: you about to say? Do you think I'm Mary Cooper

422
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: is happy right now? I think he is today. I

423
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: think he is. He probably. I mean, Deshaun Watson's a

424
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: terrific quarterback. He's I mean, they're gonna be a good offense.

425
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to stay here, though he did,

426
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: and you know, you saw the Cowboys or the Browns

427
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: restructure his deal as soon as they brought him in.

428
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have surprised me. If Marie would have been

429
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: willing to do it, Tank did to stay and get

430
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: a new, restructured deal, maybe you take a little less

431
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: at you don't think that was presented to him. I

432
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: think they were ready to move on, honestly, and it's

433
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: not that they don't think he's a good quarterback. But

434
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: again it's it's a value and all that stuff. And

435
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: if you look at if they were to restructure. We

436
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: talked about this in the mail bag today, Nick and I.

437
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: If they were to restructure and push more money down

438
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: where his cap figures ballooning in a couple of years, well,

439
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Ceedee Lambs deal is up.

440
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: And so how do you make that that work? And

441
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: they're willing to say, look, Ceedee Lamb can be our

442
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: number one guy. Whether we're skeptical of that or not,

443
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: we've we've covered this, but they're willing to do that.

444
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: And they I think they think they can go on

445
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: the draft and find another Michael Gallup and Mike gets healthy,

446
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: he's your number two, and then we develop another young

447
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: guy because they've done it. They've done it in the past.

448
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: They've drafted two receivers that they both feel good about

449
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: well they feel, they feel firmly in their beliefs and

450
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: have moved coop on the dully. I will always associate

451
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: a dully with him as long as I as long

452
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: as I see him. But you open though. We talked

453
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: about Mike McCarthy being absent for the annual meetings, but

454
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk in the next segment guys about

455
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: why is everyone so comfortable disrespecting Mike McCarthy and he

456
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: used his strong hand on someone coming up next here

457
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: on TCT. There's nothing as unique as our eyes, which

Speaker 1: Everyone is letting their true feelings be known about how

499
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: the roster is being put together. But coach Mike McCarthy

500
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: was not at the annual meetings, right, and they took

501
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: the pictures of all that they had coaches, And was

502
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: he hanging out with Taker? He was noting missing in action?

503
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean Taker was here. No, he wasn't hanging out

504
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: with taking later he was here at the middle of honor.

505
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: Oh not here, but okay, yeah, yeah, I'm just imagining,

506
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: like at the training table, just I saw the excitement

507
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: of your eyes. He saw that it's a twinkle and

508
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: he didn't even call me. Yeah, damn it. So Mike

509
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy's missing, Yeah, all right, not missing. He's he was

510
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: on the phone today, he said he was yesterday. I

511
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: wrote my notes down. He said he was going back

512
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: through the red zone offense today and so well, not

513
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: at the meeting, he was. He's watching film man, trying

514
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: to get better. There was only twenty eight guys in

515
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: the picture, so there's four guys missing. There were four

516
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: guys missing. It was four guys missing. If you go

517
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: back to the picture, there's twenty eight guys in the picture,

518
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: so four guys were missing. Can you identify who those who?

519
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: Little bit Chris Belichick? I know three of them. Yes,

520
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: Belichick was one. Belichick skips the breakfast usually, Yes, he

521
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: never takes the picture. Okay. Dan Campbell, who just got

522
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: announced to be on Hard Knocks, was not there. McCarthy.

523
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: I don't know who the other one was, so okay,

524
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: tweet Rob if you know who the last one. Yeah,

525
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: everybody's only talking about Mike not being there, you know,

526
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: But there was four people that weren't in the picture.

527
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: So Let's talk about Mike. Okay, Mike, about Mike. Let's

528
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: talk about Mike, because Mike wasn't there and everybody's concerned,

529
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: and obviously coach Belichick has it has you know what

530
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: you want, infamous for not being at any of these

531
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: things and skipping them whenever. But for coach Mike McCarthy,

532
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: it kind of gives you the, I guess, the twinge

533
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: of man, I am coaching my butt off. All right,

534
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: look at me. I'm busy out here looking at red

535
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: zone tape and I am on the road. Is this

536
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: a man that feels is though he is coaching for

537
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: his football future here in Dallas? Because if you turn

538
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: on the radio, if you read any of the articles,

539
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: he is basically lamed duck and that there there are

540
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: other guys won't say his name, that are going to

541
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: be a TV this year that are waiting on him

542
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: to just for his demise. So why are people so

543
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: comfortable with disrespecting coach Mike McCarthy. Well, I mean, the

544
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: way the season ended, there's I mean, like you said,

545
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: there's as much frustration with the fan base as we've

546
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: seen in a long time, because it's just another year

547
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: on top of the year since ninety five when they

548
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: got it done. I think, yeah, I'm sure he feels pressure.

549
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this job you do everywhere. I don't know

550
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: who doesn't except for maybe Belichick because he can kind

551
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: of do whatever he wants. He's a made man. But yeah,

552
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think he absolutely does. And I think

553
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: he is trying to show. He spoke to it on

554
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: the call this morning. This is the biggest class draft

555
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: class in a long time because of the COVID rules.

556
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to dive in. Man, he's trying to be

557
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to get back to where they

558
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: were not fall short. So or he realizes that he

559
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have any salary cap money. It's been our free

560
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: agents and he has to do his home work to

561
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: find some some jewels in the draft? Does that too?

562
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: And for I mean just asking you, based off of

563
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: your experience, is that something that most head coaches do

564
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: instead of their assistance scouts, that they're out there boots

565
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: on the ground making these things happen. They're all working.

566
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: I'll just say that all coaches are working. He didn't

567
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: miss that meeting because he was watching film. I'm not

568
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: sure what the reason was, but I know for a

569
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: fact it wasn't because he was watching film. They have

570
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: these things called tablets nowadays, this crazy technology, and they

571
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: said they give them to you go on road trips

572
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: and you have access to cloud. There's a thing called

573
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: a cloud and you can pour down all the files

574
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: that you really want to watch. So he can do

575
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that anywhere he wants to. I don't, So I don't

576
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: know why he missed that meeting. Why are people hard

577
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: on him while he's a head coach of the Dallas

578
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys haven't won a championship in

579
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: a very long time, and that was probably the most

580
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: stacked roster they've had since I would say that I

581
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: played here back in two thousand and seven. So the

582
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: fact that they missed on a huge opportunity, Yeah, people

583
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be all over his head, especially when you're

584
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: in the limelight like he is. So at the beginning

585
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: of the season with the roster that we saw, you

586
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: your expectations for the Dallas Cowboys were what oh, I mean,

587
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: the NFC championship was supposed to be just a sea walk.

588
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: There's a sea walk through that and then get to

589
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs and take care of business. I mean, I don't,

590
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't, I didn't, I don't can't remember exactly what

591
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I said at that point in time in terms of

592
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: I didn't have super Bowl written on their forehead, But

593
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean I expected him to get passed the first round. Yeah,

594
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: at least or to have the buy. I think for me,

595
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: it's it's really weird to hear an NFL coach that

596
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: was Yeah, I was sorry. That was a huge that

597
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: the buy is where a lot of my weight was. Yeah,

598
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: I was very disappointed. Probably get that by right, they

599
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: needed the buying, but but just hearing the disrespect for him,

600
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: um from from media, media from media, just basically saying that,

601
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, this year obviously wasn't the result that he wanted.

602
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: As a coach, everyone sets their expectation on the Super Bowl.

603
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: But let's just say, hypothetically, if Mike wasn't the coach

604
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys and it was Lincoln Riley, a

605
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: coach like that, right, and he comes in, he goes

606
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: six and ten his first season in the COVID year,

607
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: You're probably giving him some grace because of the COVID year,

608
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: but then coming back and getting a twelve and five

609
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: winning the division and going to the playoffs having the

610
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: same results, disappointing your expectation would be a lot different

611
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: your I guess disappointment would be a lot different. Mike

612
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: McCarthy is the fifth winning this coach active coach in

613
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, and no one mentions that at all, the

614
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: number of NFC games that he's played in the Super

615
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: Bowl that he has. Everyone else gets that mentioned besides him,

616
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's the disrespect that I'm talking about. Well,

617
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: that goes back to you know, Green Bay and playing

618
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: with Rogers, and you know, when you have a quarterback

619
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: who's a first ballot Hall of Famer that's kind of

620
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: running things like you do you get enough credit, you know?

621
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Or is it just Aaron doing most of the work.

622
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's probably where it comes from. But yeah,

623
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I think the frustration too, Like you just said, he's

624
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: got he's got the resume, and that's they didn't bring

625
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: in a young guy or a Dan Campbell to build

626
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: with its to win now because and part because of

627
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: his history, I can get teams to the super Bowl

628
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen. So yeah, I mean that's and that,

629
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: like Isaiah said, I mean that is part of the

630
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: job when you coach here like that, that is the expectation.

631
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: He he understands that he's coming from Green Bay. It's

632
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: just a bigger market. And people call for mister Jones

633
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: to step down all the time. He got five dog

634
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: on rings, you know what I'm saying. He got rings

635
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: on rings, and you know, but when was the last

636
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: time he had one. It's been a minute. So people

637
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: are calling for his head and they're like, oh, cowboys,

638
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: cowboys aren't doing nothing. And he's the greatest greatest owner

639
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: in NFL history, right, So I mean, people are gonna

640
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: call for your head of success doesn't follow, and it's

641
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: coming off a roster as stacked as this one, and

642
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: for them to lay an egg the way in which

643
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: they did, yeah, there's gonna be a ton of scrutiny,

644
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: and very deservingly so. And maybe he's trying to send

645
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 1: a message to his team by not coming out here,

646
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: because he did say, like we saw the overtime rule,

647
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: but there there's not much that the coaches are doing

648
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: this week. There's not a lot of voting going on

649
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: this week, and compared to pass spring meetings, and maybe

650
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: he's trying to send a message like, I mean, we

651
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: got captain's workouts going on. I hear that the offseason

652
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: voluntary program starts next month. I'm here. I'm busting my ass.

653
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Let's go, okay, Robbie. I'm just oh, well, yeah, I'm here.

654
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm not promise you that, but we needn't clip that. Please,

655
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm busting my heart that, Chris. Please. So

656
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: aside from obviously the obvious days he's out, he's out

657
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: on the road, he's finding guys, he has his tablet

658
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: out at all times. He's looking at the red zone.

659
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Alabama tomorrow, Alabama tomorrow. This guy is living out of

660
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 1: a hotel room, private jets, which that's not unique. By

661
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: the way, I've gone to that meeting in Florida and

662
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: I've run into Jason Garrett ten years ago in the

663
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: gift shop and he's like, yeah, headed down to Tescaloosa tomorrow.

664
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: We're flying on the way home or flying stopping there.

665
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you do. It's Alabama. Who doesn't

666
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: go to that protay. But but no one ever questioned

667
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: where Jason Garrett was. There were those were never tabloid

668
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: front that was that was never Newsworthy What Jason Garrett?

669
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: What clapping convention? The clapping convention. I'm just I'm just saying,

670
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the difference. Right now, everyone's asking

671
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: the question, where's Mike, Where's Mike? Where's Mike? No one

672
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: ever asked why Jason was at dude getting you know,

673
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: clues in from Sachski. No one ever asked what was happening.

674
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, why is it so different for

675
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: for this guy? And what do you guys? Nothing is it?

676
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Nothing short of a super Bowl that will

677
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: save him? Is that? Where we are? That's the expectation.

678
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: That's the expectation every year. But I'm just saying, like, literally,

679
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: if we're sitting back, hope, that's the hope hoping expectations.

680
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: Roster was set and people saw the product on the

681
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: field and saw the culture changes specifically on defense and

682
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: how that it really rolled over into the offensive side

683
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: of things, and saw the early killing Moore who still

684
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: had gifts in his bag. I think the expectation rose

685
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: to at least second round of playoffs, first round of

686
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: like NFC Championship and first round playoffs, and okay, now

687
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: we need to start talking about Okay, now we're talking

688
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: about the NFC championship. Now we're talking about possibly going

689
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: to Super Bout. That was the expectation once those first

690
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks kind of went by, because you saw

691
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: what this team was capable of, and you saw how, how,

692
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: how how the continuity was really coming together with those guys.

693
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: So I don't care who the head coaches at the

694
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys right now, I don't. You could you could

695
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: say any of the names that you know that we

696
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: know are out there right now, and I don't care

697
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: if Sean McVay, it still would have been the same.

698
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if if it was a failure, it was

699
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: a failure to launch only home team to lose in

700
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: the first roup. Yeah, and that, yeah, that's probably where

701
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: it stems from mostly. But I look, I didn't I

702
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: did not have I didn't have Super Bowl expectations for

703
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: this team going in the playoffs. I I really did

704
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: not not expectations because I thought this was as balanced

705
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: and competitive as NFC as we've seen in a while.

706
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: And San Francisco has championship medal man and they showed it,

707
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: and they came within an eyelash and beating the Rams

708
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: two weeks after that, they went to Green Bay. I

709
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: didn't feel great about the Cowboys if they had to

710
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay. I didn't feel great about them

711
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: winning that game because they couldn't run the ball effectively

712
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: up there and down the stretch. They couldn't run the ball.

713
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: I can't get clapping convention out of my head. I

714
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: don't even know it's a good one. A lot of

715
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: technique of off, a lot of technique. So over the

716
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks we have seen coaching vacancies get

717
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: filled and the Dallas Cowboys brought in Brian Schottenheimer, a

718
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: guy that you were familiar with. I can't wait to

719
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: hear what you think about that higher who's coming on.

720
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: He's replacing Ben McAdoo who left for Carolina to be

721
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, and also ran A Stewart who is

722
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: the special team's assistant UH taking the place of Matt

723
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: Daniels who is now with the Vikings. And so just

724
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: kind of giving giving everyone some some information about those

725
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: coaches UH and why those UH spots were actually field robot,

726
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: I'll come to you. Well, yeah, I mean, like you said,

727
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Stewart comes from Green Bay. So there's a history there, UM,

728
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: and you know Fossil has had a right hand guy

729
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: and UM in the past, so they were going to

730
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: fill that spot. Matt Daniels was highly regarded here, so

731
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: wish him the best. UM. As far as Brian Schottenheimer,

732
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: I think it's it's going to be similar to what

733
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo here did here, and people were making a

734
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: big deal out of this. Look, it's it's not Kellen

735
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Moore dan Quinne need help. No, I mean, it's it's

736
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: it's a game planning addition, it's a guy that Mike

737
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy worked with from the moment he got in the NFL.

738
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean, he knew his dad, Um Marty, and worked

739
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: with him in ninety eight in Kansas City, and it's

740
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to come here and help out,

741
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and be another set of eyes for to

742
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: help out some of the younger guys on the staff,

743
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: to help with the weekly game plans, looking ahead, stuff

744
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: like that. Not a big deal, UM, So that's that's

745
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: that's behind it. It's funny that you mentioned coaching and

746
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: the pressure on Mike McCarthy, and I do think part

747
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: of it is because it's gonna have to come through coaching,

748
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Like we said, like we they've they've made some some

749
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: solid editions, a couple of solid editions in free agency,

750
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: but they still got holes to fill. It's not looking

751
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: like it's going to be as deep as a roster.

752
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: Coaching's got to bring that together. We saw what Dan

753
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: Quinn did on defense last year. It's got to come

754
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: through coaching and coaching guys up and guys taking another

755
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: step forward at ceedee Lamb taking another step forward. That's

756
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: where it comes from on this roster that they're going

757
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: to be better than they were last year. And these

758
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: aren't coaching vacans. This isn't a coaching position that they created.

759
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: These were vacancies that they field and so I believe,

760
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: and so Ben mcadoo's position was basically following league trends

761
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: and game planning and so making sure that the team

762
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: was if there's a Sunday Thursday game, that they are

763
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: already up on who they're going up against next. That

764
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: was Ben mcadoo's job. What is it Isaiah? Isaiah has

765
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: this look? So yes, there's an assistant to the assistant.

766
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: So this is the way we're putting this together. And

767
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 1: this is the guy that's going to help Kellen Moore

768
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: right the ship and get this offense clicking. Baby, really,

769
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: OK Yeah, I mean there's a lot of jobs in

770
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: the NFL now, they just kind of make things listen.

771
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: He has a great resume in terms of places that

772
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: he's been experienced, He's had quarterbacks, he's had the opportunity

773
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: to work with. So I hope that he can come

774
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: in and add something to that quarterback room. I hope

775
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: that he can bring an element that Dak needs to

776
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: help him with the development of his game. And maybe

777
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: that that's a key portion to the putting them over

778
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: the edge this year. You know, to your point, you know,

779
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't look like they're gonna have the roster depth

780
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: that they need, but maybe they have the coaching depth.

781
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: Maybe the coaches are able to have that much more

782
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: of an impact and it affects the product on the field.

783
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm just baffled by these coaching positions

784
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: that just keep getting created. What you just described, every

785
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: team has that without having that position as of a coach,

786
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: Every team had these the offensive you know, assistance and

787
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. They work weeks in advance,

788
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: weeks in advance you could be in week one, they're

789
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: breaking down week six like that's how far off and

790
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: these guys are because by the time yet game actually approaches,

791
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: they're handing you a folder that has all way too

792
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: much information in it, that has analytics broken down by

793
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: personnel groupings on down a distance third and third and

794
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: one to three versus down in four to you know,

795
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: third and four to six when this personnel versus this

796
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: personnel grouping. This is the percentage they blizz this like

797
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: it's so much information. I don't even know how they

798
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: do it. Let to sit in and just learn for

799
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: a second with a check. Uh. But so, I mean

800
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: they just figured they just found a role for him,

801
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: They just wanted them on the staff, and they just

802
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: created something. Now with your experience, you obviously being a

803
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: Seattle native, what do you what are your what have

804
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: been what has been your observation of Shottingham. I don't

805
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: have anything to add, honestly. I mean, he wasn't there

806
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: when I was there. He was there later on in

807
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: a you know, twenty and eighteen somewhere around there. Um,

808
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: he's had an opportunity to work with Russell Wilson. So

809
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that there's some things that he could take

810
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: from that, um, you know, to bring over to help

811
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: with Dak's game. And that's I mean, hopefully that's the

812
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: element that he brings. I would assume that that's the

813
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: leadership aspect that they're hoping to bring into that room

814
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: to try to take some of that off. Maybe there's

815
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: needs to be a buffer between Kellen Moore and Dak,

816
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But hopefully he can be that

817
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: guy that can be the dog on angel on Dak's

818
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: shoulder to help him make good decisions and that angel

819
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: that he definitely needs, that good angel on his shoulder.

820
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: But the thing is is that when you look at

821
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenhammer's coaching record in twenty eighteen when he was

822
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: with Seattle, that was the year that Seattle was leading

823
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: the league in rushing. I mean, which is a passing

824
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: coordinator guy and all that. I think that's kind of

825
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: a you know, action team man, absolutely a play action team.

826
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: And I also like what you said about Russell Wilson.

827
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: I think if I've always had the equivalent of a

828
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: game like comparison has always been between Dak and Russell,

829
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: which I think Russell obviously has the incredible arm. But

830
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: at the same time, I think that that's the correlation

831
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: between the two. He also had a stint in Jacksonville.

832
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: But nothing about this bothers you guys from a bringing

833
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: in new coaches just status quo. You're basically saying that, Look,

834
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: this isn't anything new, this is what you know guys

835
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: do anyway. But but does that set the table for

836
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about for Mike McCarthy, as you

837
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: alluded to before, Like, look, this is going to be

838
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: a coaching challenge, and just like Dan quinn, Uh, these

839
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to bring that level up, uh,

840
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: in order to keep I don't want to say keep

841
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: their jobs, but you know, obviously elevate this team. Now,

842
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: look at the offensive line. Look at look at I mean,

843
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a new left guard, whether it's a

844
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: draft pick, whether it's a stop gap veteran. They're gonna

845
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: probably try to bring us in competition at center. Um,

846
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: they got to still got a young guy and Terrence Steele,

847
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: who's the right tackle. Like that's they've got to take

848
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: a step forward. And that's you know, that's largely on

849
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin too to coach up that room. So um,

850
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's gonna be a huge factor and in

851
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: whether they can take another step forward because I still

852
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: think there's talent on this team. We talked about, like

853
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Jerry mentioned the ten to eleven guys, it's a fifty

854
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: three men roster, and they were they were fortunate last

855
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: year to have as much health as they did down

856
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: the stretch. You can't count on being as a healthy

857
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: as they were. Dream yeah on January for a future year.

858
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: And so I love the question also that was asked

859
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: h Jerry about what you know we're doing in the

860
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: draft and his thing was, yeah, I'm doing offensive line

861
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: unless there's a Micaul CD sitting there, which which which

862
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: I don't believe any of it because you know they're

863
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: they're going heading in a whole nother direction. But Michael,

864
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: I just just off the cuff. I gotta ask at

865
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: left guard, why hasn't Connor McGovern been given much consideration

866
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: there at left guard? I mean everyone was was was,

867
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: you don't have the pump poems out for a mid

868
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: mid season and now that's all dissipated and going away.

869
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: Come on, I say tell me something. That's your guy,

870
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: that's your guy. C. Matts n I have done it

871
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: against McGovern. I think he's a good player, but I

872
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: think I think you have to bring somebody in who's

873
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: just either just was a complete dog in college, like

874
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: they're just like he has an attitude like I'm a

875
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 1: dog and I'm McNasty and I don't care who stands

876
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: in front of me. I don't care everything. They've been

877
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: in the league for teen years and I'm a rickie.

878
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: You got to either bring in that type of guy

879
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: that's just physically imposing, or you have to bring in

880
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: a veteran who's a sure thing that can add to

881
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: what you have going on. Um to the left of

882
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: him with with with a big, big tyrant and you know,

883
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: to the right of him, which will be obviously, UM,

884
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: I just blanked out, Uh, what's our center? Be honest?

885
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: So be honest needs help. Be Honest needs that. I

886
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: don't think that we're gonna see a replacement of be honest.

887
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: I just think that they're gonna try to add somebody

888
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna support him. Right if he has somebody, he

889
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: got a little limp to him right now, right, I

890
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: think he didn't need somebody to thank you very much.

891
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. You know what I'm saying. Now he'll

892
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: be stable. You know, it's kind of like this, kind

893
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: of like the old school table at the house that

894
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: you had to put a little he had to put

895
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: a little piece of paper underneath because of wobbly You know,

896
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: if you go to a restaurant and you gotta put

897
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: the little poldo, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah,

898
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: here you go. We gotta fix our wobbly table. But

899
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna always see him as a wobbly table.

900
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: Thank you. He works, He just needs a little support.

901
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of support, we got a guy with two eights

902
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: in the building, and boy, those aids are starting to

903
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: get heavy. Heavy. Yeah, we pull stuff that's right and

904
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: the dulies and so he's gonna have to pull that

905
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: eighty eight around. Coming up next on TCT new Doctor

906
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: Peppers zero sugar. You deserve it. I do deserve that.

907
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: You deserve decadent flavor without sugar, and a day at

908
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: the beach without Sam getting everywhere, and a relaxing bath

909
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: that your children don't interrupt. I deserve all that. It's

910
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: really just a visual metaphor for Doctor Pepper zero sugar.

911
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,000

946
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: one side to another. I did not go as firm

947
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: as Will Smith. We've been slapping for about fifty minutes already,

948
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: and come on, let's just get it out of the way.

949
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: And was strong. It was a strong hand strong, very strong.

950
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's just get it out of the way, the

951

953
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: It was so embarrassing, period, I don't you know, it's

954
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: really hard for me to kind of place it and

955
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: pick aside. I just it's embarrassed. It's an embarrassment. It

956
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: wasn't embarrassed complete, you know, but his disregard for Chris

957
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: Rock's face at that point the Batman followed through. Yeah,

958
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: but that's what could mean though, that is that's that's

959
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: Chris Rock. Chris. You assume that he knew she had that, Yes,

960
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: very much. That's fact. No fact, you don't know he did.

961
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: You know that the word is the word is he

962
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: didn't even write that. The writers wrote it. Oh he

963
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: got slapped for something somebody else. That's insultant Toffy's so

964
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: upset about it. Hey, but the technique was flawless. If

965
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna slap somebody, that is the proper way to

966
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: slap somebody. As I've seen that in the hood, grown up.

967
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: This is true. This is a thing that has happened

968
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot. But here's the question, Pete. Has anyone ever

969
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: walked up and slapped you in your face? Um? Have

970
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: you ever been slapped in your life? Ra? Not slapped.

971
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: I've been mushed, not mushed. I've been boomed. Oh you

972
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: got a boot since we're on them, since we're on

973
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: the super side, since we're on the super bad train. Here,

974
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: Oh beat somebody in the big mood. Boy, I need

975
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: to dump this. It's from Nick, it's mclovin. Now, it's

976
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: not mclovin, it's the other two guys. I mean, how

977
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: does that go? What do you do after that? I mean,

978
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: that's a loving thing. That's not that's not that's not fighting. No,

979
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: the boopy, but the boop might be more disrespectful than

980
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: the slap. Actually, one time I accidentally slapped the guy

981
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: playing basketball. It was an accidental slap. I went to

982
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: go upside the head, kind of like whoops upside a hit, Yeah,

983
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: kind of like Billy Hoyles style, you know, And I

984
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: went low and the guy just laughed at me. He

985
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: just laughed. I thought I was gonna get my kicked,

986
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: but he just laughed at me. I don't think I've

987
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: ever been slapped, so he didn't boop you no boop,

988
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: no boola boop is love he wow, have you been

989
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: have you been slapped? Man? Let me tell you you

990
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: somebody will need a doctor and I will need a lawyer.

991
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: Don't that's not that's not the business. That's not the business.

992
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: And I think, you know what, that's what I'm just saying, like,

993
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: that's I've been man, not that's I don't even I

994
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: don't even know. A finger in the face, a finger

995
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: in the face to get your finger dislocated. But you know,

996
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: that's just one of those things where you slap somebody.

997
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: It's so disrespectful one to slap anybody. But we knew

998
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: he was a slapper. We need a slapper when he

999
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: was on the red carpet and in the in the

1000
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: dude trying to kiss him. He slapped that guy and

1001
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: he slapped somebody and he slapped what's your name in hitch.

1002
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: He's a slapper. But I didn't know that. I go

1003
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: back and check that ou individual slapper the guy who

1004
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: kissed him in the mouth. He yeah, it was a

1005
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: backhand slap. Yeah, it was like it was a backhand

1006
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean that's the guy that you hey, that's you

1007
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: macloving too, right, there baby, because that's not a bo

1008
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I just look, man, I will say this

1009
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: and end it all, is that Chris Rock showed a

1010
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: lot of restraint by staying on code and still handing

1011
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: out the award after that was last. That was impressive.

1012
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: You could tell, like right in the moment people thought

1013
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 1: was this is this a joke until you could talking,

1014
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, you could tell with his reaction like it wasn't.

1015
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: But we talked in the break like they gonna take

1016
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: his oscar away? Yea, they will? I man, I hope

1017
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: not they will. I mean it was gonna suck, but

1018
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: they will. They have to setting an example. And speaking

1019
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: of setting in example, we have a guy here in

1020
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: the building that has man an undertaking. He has with

1021
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: probably the biggest number on the team, wearing number eighty eight,

1022
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: and the pressure is right on him, especially now with

1023
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper being in Cleveland. You alluded you talked to it,

1024
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: talked about it as just saying that, look, the team

1025
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: was going to make this decision to move on from

1026
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: Cooper anyway to allow for Cede Lamb to have the

1027
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a number one receiver. But Isaiah, I've

1028
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: got to ask you and your observation of Sadarius Lamb

1029
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: and the job that he did and obviously his coming

1030
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: out this year being an eleven hundred yard receiver, do

1031
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: you think he is ready for the weight of being

1032
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: a number one receiver? No, picking my words wisely, I

1033
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: don't think that he's ready to be a number one.

1034
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if his confidence level is there yet,

1035
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: not to say that he won't be there relatively soon,

1036
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: but also don't believe that anyone anyone, and I don't

1037
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: think CD. I'tna say this now at this date, on

1038
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: this date as of right now, okay, but tonight it

1039
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: was twenty nine, right. Yes, I don't think that there

1040
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: will be a number one receiver that will sign a

1041
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: big contract here in Dallas with this leadership. Reason being,

1042
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: they just prove to you what they do with number

1043
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: one receivers. Number one receivers don't have value here. Number

1044
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: one receivers don't have any rain here because we're not

1045
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna feed you like a number one, We're not gonna

1046
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: feature you like a number one. They just showed you

1047
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: that there was no conversation about Coop's inabilities at any

1048
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: point in time. There's been no discussion about what Coop

1049
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: can't do. Coop can't run routes. He does amazing job

1050
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: with routes. Coop lost a step, He definitely didn't lose

1051
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: a step. Coop can't get off the ball. He definitely

1052
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: gets off the ball. Is he dropping balls? Nope, he

1053
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: caught the ball. So oh, isn't that what number ones do?

1054
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: So if you're a number one, that's what Coop was

1055
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: a true number one. They just got rid of you, right,

1056
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: So now what's the incentive now for anybody to honestly

1057
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: be titled a true number one. I think he's gonna

1058
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: be a highly valuable player for the Dallas Cowboys. He's

1059
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody that's very dependable, somebody that they're they're

1060
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: relying on heavily. But to say that he's a number one,

1061
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: then at that point in time, I had to put

1062
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: him in a context of a Tyrek Hill on a

1063
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: Davante Adams back, And I don't think he's that. You

1064
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: don't think he's think he can get there. I think

1065
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: with his physical skill set, I think he can just

1066
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: not here because of the way they run off that. Yes,

1067
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: do you think they'd be willing because they got to

1068
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: take out. I mean, Mike's here, he's working. Do you

1069
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: think they're taking a hard look at this potentially and

1070
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: being like, we have to change what we do schematically.

1071
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: Schematically we feature receivers, and like I spoke earlier, okay,

1072
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay both guys. We think CD can

1073
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: be that guy. That's why we're making this transition away

1074
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: from a MARI. But we need to in the future.

1075
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: If we think CD can be that guy, we have

1076
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: to feature him more that When I see as of

1077
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: right now, CD's really good receiver, okay, but when I

1078
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: think about number one receivers, you have to do something

1079
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: exceptionally well, you have to be exceptionally fast Tyreek Hill,

1080
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: you have to be exceptionally quick Tyreek Hill, renfro Right

1081
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: or route runners. Okay, you start talking about you know,

1082
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: the Cooper cups at these world where he's just exceptional

1083
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: route runners rather or not. They don't have any other amazing,

1084
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: crazy attributes, but they're gonna run a heck of a

1085
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: route and they're gonna catch the ball. Yeah, the guys

1086
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: like this, right, there's not one attribute that CD currently

1087
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: possesses that is that dominant. Now collectively, he's a really

1088
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: good receiver. He's not gonna blaze by anybody off the

1089
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: line of scribbage. He doesn't happen to just he's not

1090
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: just an amazing route runner at this point in time.

1091
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: He's a good route runner, He's not an amazing route runner, right,

1092
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He hasn't caught the ball consistently. Right, so

1093
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: you start looking at the attributes of a number one receiver.

1094
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: He hasn't put that together yet, and I think that

1095
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: he will relatively quickly. He's going to figure it out.

1096
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: But again, I'm not sure if that's going to be

1097
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: the opportunity here in Dallas, just because of what they're

1098
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: telling you right now. We're a system team. You know.

1099
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to wrap my head around, is

1100
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: what you're saying about him not being here or not

1101
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: getting paid here. When Amari Cooper got paid here, he

1102
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: paid he signed a large contract, and obviously the door

1103
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: opened up just for Ceedee Lamb to get signed and

1104
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's why receiver room is crowded.

1105
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: I guess where I'm coming from from a scheme standpoint,

1106
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: with the way that Kelly Moore is calling this offense,

1107
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: and there won't be an opportunity now for teams to say,

1108
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna bracket coverage on one of your guys. How

1109
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: does that open up the offense now? Being that you look,

1110
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: Mike g may not be back for the beginning of

1111
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: the season, but Lissa to say, hypothetically he is, you

1112
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: have James Washington, and you have a draft pick and

1113
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: other guys that will be there as well. You don't

1114
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: think that he can carry the weight in a scheme

1115
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: where it's not even calling for him to be quote

1116
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: unquote that lead. Do ask you guys this, and I'm

1117
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: you guys know I'm a straight shooter, straight and no change. Yeah.

1118
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that you have the double team

1119
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: CD lamb right now? No? No, I mean it hasn't

1120
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: been proven like like a Marie, although Marie didn't get

1121
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: a ton of double team which is why it is

1122
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: why the production was surprising if they would have threw

1123
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: him the ball. Yeah, you better double team a Marie Cooper, right,

1124
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, you better freaking double team him. Davantae Adams,

1125
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: you better double team all the number ones. You better

1126
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: double team him, otherwise they will single handedly recue. CD

1127
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: hasn't stepped into that circle yet yet. And I know,

1128
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: I know it's just training camp. And I know I've

1129
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: told myself personally, like don't overreact everything you see a

1130
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: training camp, but I just know, you know, thirty days

1131
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: in ox and are just watching him every day, it

1132
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: was like, man, this guy could be a yeah, he

1133
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: can't be. And and it hasn't shown. Although these numbers,

1134
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: and I know they're just numbers, but they do jump

1135
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: out at you. I didn't realize this is from Mickey's column.

1136
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty three catches in his first two

1137
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: years or a franchise most. And he's the first Cowboys

1138
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: receiver to get at least a thousand in each of

1139
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: his first two seasons. I mean, he's put up numbers.

1140
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: It's just there's consistency. He's had some drops and he

1141
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been asked to He hasn't been asked to be

1142
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: the guy corect yet. So but now that the opportunities

1143
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: that he has had to be the number one guy,

1144
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: we didn't see the weird there's a couple opportunities this

1145
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: year where we're like, all right, this is this is

1146
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: it and then and all of that, all of that

1147
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: I think has been overshadow, overshadowed by how they have

1148
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: used these guys in concert with one another. But the

1149
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: numbers don't lie based off of what you're saying. And

1150
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: this is a franchise that's been a hunt raund for

1151
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: a very long time. For him to set those first

1152
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: says a lot about his talent. You asked me the

1153
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: question about him being double team and I say no, because,

1154
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: like Rob said, I just hadn't seen it yet. But

1155
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: in the game, like they say, for instance, in the

1156
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: Patriots game, the overtime, the walkoff touchdown, you see right there.

1157
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's by himself. There are your route brand

1158
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: and touchdown we saw in his in his rookie season.

1159
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: When you use him at the slot position. What he's

1160
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: able to do. Slot position is one where, man, this

1161
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: is a guy that can expose your defense if you

1162
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: put him in the slot. Do you think that that's

1163
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: where Kelly Moore is putting his attention? If if there is,

1164
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: If you're gonna use this guy to his full potential,

1165
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: that's where it has to That's the question. Will Cede

1166
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Lamb reach his full potential here in Dallas and currently

1167
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: under this regime. Because I know everybody's gonna sit out.

1168
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: THEAH said CD can't. I didn't say that. I'm saying

1169
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: where he's not yet, all right, I say I can

1170
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: see CD is fully capable as a player to be

1171
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: a number one receiver in this league. Absolutely within this system,

1172
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 1: he's he's restricted. If you're Kellen Moore, are you saying

1173
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: to yourself it's time to change? I hope so? Yeah, Okay,

1174
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I hope so, because imminently that's where the rubber meets road,

1175
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: is in him changing his philosophy on how he uses it.

1176
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 1: But if you, if you, if you're willing to change

1177
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: your philosophy, didn't why you let who go? You don't say?

1178
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Because I think so, I'm saying, like I think, well

1179
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: that was that was my kind of hypothetical or whatever.

1180
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate is that can we just if we're just

1181
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna pay one, let's go with the younger guy, our

1182
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: draft pick, and but moving forward, we need to change

1183
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: how we do things. And he's got to be featured,

1184
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: because I don't I don't think you can run it

1185
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: back the way they did it and just kind of

1186
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: try to spread it around and work underneath with Scholtzi.

1187
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: And that's gonna get it done. I mean, especially if

1188
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: you can't run the ball um. I don't think that

1189
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: they've got to They've got to find a way to

1190
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: feature the top guy bar. I'm with you guys on

1191
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: that one. Well look, speaking of that, I mean and

1192
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: closing this whole thing out, guys, this is going to

1193
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: be the first time that we go to Oxnard where

1194
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: our offensive line isn't the strength of our team and

1195
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: so talk about news flash and so much work to do.

1196
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: There are still gaping holes left to be filled for

1197
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys as the offseason rages on. We'll be

1198
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: back in the building next Tuesday, and Kyle Yeoman's this

1199
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: will be your spotty. We'll be waiting for you, brother.

1200
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: So Lorena's family, please don't put him in the Hudson

1201
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: all right, but we did our think today Balling tct baby.

1202
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

1203
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
