I 69 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: know that he's a guy that working. I know that 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: when they start, whenever they start, they own the field workouts. 71 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: He'll be one of the main guys. I know that 72 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: he inspires the young guys to work. So and I'm 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: sorry that we can't bring you more guys because I 74 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: asked curtain and I'm asking you now, where's David Irvin? 75 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: When is he gonna be tendered? Why Ryan hasn't he 76 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: been tendered? Y'all know something I don't know. I don't 77 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: know anything. No, I don't I'm not sure what the 78 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: kid then only thing can think of it. They're trying 79 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: to determine if it's a first or second it's surely 80 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna do a second round tender because they don't 81 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: want to spend that much on him. There's just too 82 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: many question marks I guess with him. I mean, he's 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: showed flashes of being a pro bowler, and then he's 84 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: disappeared at times, and then he's been out of the 85 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: lineup for a big chunky Yeah, but missed half the 86 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: season last year. I think eight games, eight sacks. You 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: think that has something to do with it. It's a 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: it's a chink somewhere in the armor with him for 89 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: him not to uh, because you know, when we went 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: through this situation, we name guys who we thought that 91 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: were wart quick actions. Only one of them is only 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: two Martin and d laws on the ones that's getting 93 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: pushed real quick. Everybody else is kind of it's coming 94 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: as it comes. I guess, you know. Let me back up. 95 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: I wasn't saying how do we get Byron out of 96 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: the secondary? I like Byron. I think he's a solid player. 97 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: You thought about that a minute. Yeah, I don't want 98 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: somebody to send him a link to this show to 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: get up out. The fans are griping. The thing with 100 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: burn is uh his instincts are not as great as 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: the skills. You know, when you see him jump, run, stop, turn, 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: all of these things are very nice, but when you 103 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: see it on the field, you don't get that feeling. 104 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: What I think the coaches are trying to do expected 105 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: with the new defensive court but defensive passing coordinator is 106 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: he's got long loans. He's a long body guy, a 107 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: loan the lines of Richard Sherman. And you don't how 108 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: the instincts Richard got, but I think they thinking, Okay, 109 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: keep him, keep him active every every snap, make him 110 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: stop thinking and just play. Just playball. Once you once 111 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: you just say okay, it's uh, third and three. Uh 112 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: we're playing this coverage behind me. Uh what do I 113 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: need to do? You know? And then after that it's like, okay, 114 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: take away the slam or take you know, this little 115 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: quick hook. What what do I do? And now you 116 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: just react. And maybe maybe they're just trying to put 117 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: him into because his rookie year when he prayed on 118 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: tight Ends a lot like he was for him to 119 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: be a rookie, and he shut down a lot of 120 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: those big names. Tight Ends just reacted and Jimmy Graham 121 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: and those guys, and he's so smart, like he is 122 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: probably one of the smartest guys on the team. Maybe 123 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: that maybe he does overthink things. Maybe just get out 124 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: there and ball man. Yeah, I mean I worried that. 125 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: You know, he's Kim and his rookie, and he played 126 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: both positions. They never really settled in, and then it 127 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: seemed like they thought, well, he'll be a better safety. 128 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: I thought he would too. Why all of a sudden 129 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: they moved him back. Why would they moving back to 130 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: corner if originally you just don't think his instincts are 131 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: there to play safety. Well, what I'm trying to say 132 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: is if he just don't have time to think, just play. Yeah, 133 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: so maybe he just is slot guy then covering tight 134 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: ends and stuff. Yeah, you never take that away from him, 135 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: because that's what he's good at, its covering tight ends. 136 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know the answer. I'm like you, I'm 137 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: just trying to put something out that that makes sense. 138 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: You know. You know, uh, we know he's smart, we 139 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: know he's athletic out there zoo. Okay, Well, what's missing? Then? Instincts? 140 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: How do you? How do you you? Some things you 141 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: can't teach you either, you either wake up knowing that 142 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: you gotta hunt. You wake up knowing that you got 143 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: to run from the hunter. You don't wake up. That 144 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: means you don't know who you are. You see what 145 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because you mean to starting from both parties. 146 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: So cornerback then is less. You're just reacting. You're not 147 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: having as many instincts as you would have. Say. Well, yeah, 148 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: like I say, you know, you you look at what 149 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: can possibly happen. You scan the field when you you 150 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: know situations. Okay, what's the defense? What's my part in 151 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: this defense? What can this guy possible to do? From 152 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: watching the film? And then you just play? Is it? 153 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Is it? Say? When you're in when you're playing safety, 154 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: you got the whole field and one of you, So 155 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot more going on when you're in. You're 156 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: in safety. He was playing and you're in safety. You 157 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: got to tell a lot of folks a lot of things, 158 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: so there's more going on. Yeah, I got Yeah, you're 159 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot of time when you were a corner, you 160 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: just line up. Okay, it's safety, Holliday edge, what do 161 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: you think the coverage should be? I'll make the adjustments 162 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: as and maybe they don't want him uh talking as much. Yeah, 163 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: is he weaker against the run? Is that why they 164 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: maybe want him out of safety? Well he got b 165 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: D Yeah, he got didn't tackle. Well, I mean I 166 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: was just looking at the pro football focused grade. They 167 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: gave him a decent grade on pass coverage, but didn't 168 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: gave him a pretty poor one and run run coverage. 169 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: So I just maybe answered to ask the question, Well, 170 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: these corners are asked to tackle. These corners there are 171 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: asked to tackle. So is are they going going to 172 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: put him at corner and say you are to start 173 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: in the corner starting the season now? Or do we 174 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: have do we have to compete for it? You know, 175 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: you got um Lewis, you got Brown. I mean you're 176 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna have a spot there. That's the question I'm asking. 177 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: Just think now, everybody talking about moving in the corner, 178 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: everybody getting the rumors that they're moving in the corner, 179 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: is that his spot? I ain't heard nobody say that 180 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: he has has to compete for it. I've heard that 181 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: they're moving in the corner like this is one of 182 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: them corner spots? Is his? Now? They take woods? Uh? Hea, 183 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: what's the other? Big kid? Cameon? And now h and 184 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: in certain situations. Uh a woozier and let them compete 185 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: for the safety spots in certain times. You know. So, 186 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: does that mean Orlando's gone? Well, the words league that 187 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: he could be gone. But the problem is you got 188 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: all these young guys and you can't. You can't keep wondering, right, 189 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: you gotta let him play. You gotta let him play. Sure, 190 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: sounds like he's gone. Yeah, you can't keep wondering. I 191 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: mean he said he was gone. Well, he didn't say 192 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: it was gone, but the way he acts and his 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: attitude don't seem like, you know, it's in line with 194 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: the cowboys.

We're not 212 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: talking about my travel player. You might be a free 213 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: agent to get it together and come out to camp, 214 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: might be unrestricted. What would you starts today? Does it now? Well? 215 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: They can they can talk um, they can start talking 216 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: to guys. They can't sign anybody until Wednesday, Wednesday, So 217 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: wednesday's the action day. Speaking of they just showed Daz 218 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: up on the TV. The shift gears a little bit. 219 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen with Dad's man? Here, here's here's here's 220 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: my Everybody's like, cut him, cut him, cut him. A 221 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: lot of the fans or I don't think you cut him, man. 222 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: I think you try. You try to give him a 223 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: cheaper deal. Hopefully he signs it. But if you cut him, 224 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: what the hell are you gonna do? You're gonna roll 225 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: into the season with Terrence Williams and then you gotta 226 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: Bryce Butler is the only other person that he had. 227 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: He had fifty some catches, sixty catches, uh six touchdowns, 228 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: eight hundred and some yards. So if you go, if 229 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: you go to the Eagles, you'll see that they've basically 230 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: had the same production at their wide receiver position with 231 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Yeah, but no what all the receivers. You'll see 232 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: a lot of teams that had that type of production 233 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: with their receivers. The thing that hurt Dad this year's 234 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: we lost, and we would have won if we'd have 235 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: got in the playoffs. Maybe they would have secretly said, hey, man, 236 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: you know he helped us out here. Let's rework some things. 237 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: You know. But you know, do you do you do 238 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: you see Dads as the same guy as you saw 239 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: a year ago or two years ago. You know, if 240 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: the question is yes, then you don't bother the questions. 241 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: You know, you have to do something which means ask 242 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: him to take less money, right, I don't know. I mean, 243 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: you you around dads in the locker room way more 244 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: than me. You've seen him on the hot strong side, 245 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: and you've seen him calm if I was making twelve 246 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: point five million dollars beside. You think you're gonna see 247 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: if somebody asked me to give up about four or 248 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: five millions of that. Yeah, he ain't gonna calm. So, 249 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad I don't have to make that decision. 250 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: He says he's got the distractions. He's not gonna let 251 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: him get in the way this year. I hope he's right. 252 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying, if they they got rid of him, wouldn't 253 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver be your number one prior in the draft? Yeah? 254 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: But not you trust You trust a rookie to come 255 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: in here and be your number one though, But do 256 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: you think Terence is the number one? Or Ryce so? 257 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: And there's no one out there to go get? Yeah, 258 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: they say that kid from Jacksonville who just coming off 259 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: and Andrew Robinson, Alan Robinson or something is out there, 260 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: but he's gonna be bidded on. Yeah, you know. He 261 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, And if you're trying to save money, you're 262 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay damn near dad's money to go 263 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: get a legit number one. It ain't none out there, Yeah, 264 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: it ain't.

So I tell people, uh, you have 268 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: to be willing to whoever you draft give him the 269 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to grow, you know. So it ain't it ain't 270 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: like you gonna go out then and just get a 271 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: guy you know that's gonna light up the league unless 272 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: you got black Antonio Brown where Juju Schuster is that 273 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: his name?

You know, let 275 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Nate, if is this team built 276 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: to where say you say, if you cut a Daz 277 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: and you didn't go get a legit number one and 278 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: you just filled the spot and you roll in with 279 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: three decent receivers that are going to get you six 280 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: seven hundred yards six five six seven touchdowns apiece? Is 281 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: this team with Zeke if Zeke's healthy and back and 282 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: you know is on the team with the way Dak 283 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, doesn't takes care of the ball, doesn't turn 284 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: the ball over, the way the run games built, the 285 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: way the offensive lines built. Could you have a successful 286 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: year with three just decent receivers and not really a 287 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: legit number one, you don't want to take that chance. 288 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: But the way it came out of last year, that's 289 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: what you had. Yeah. So, but you don't want to 290 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: take that chance. You always want to have that outside 291 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: threat that people have to be weary of. And even 292 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: though dads didn't have a great year, and a lot 293 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: of teams towards the end of the year may not 294 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: have given them respect they gave him in the earlier 295 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: in the year, he still got something to him, you know. 296 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm glad I'm not a part 297 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: of this, you know, the Jones playing on this one, 298 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: because you got to ask yourself the first thing, if 299 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: we ask his kids take money, how will he affect 300 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: out of locker room?

In your daily job, if 315 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: someone asks you to cut your salary almost in half 316 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: because you had a bad, you know week at the 317 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: office and you were grumpy, would you do that?

You know. 320 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: I tell my wife, bless a Heart, that it's amazing 321 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: how we can go at athletes tell them how they 322 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: should be perfect in the way they act and live, 323 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: they should be happy to be making money. But you 324 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: take that same person and you try to tell them 325 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: how to live. You say, like you say, you try 326 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: to take a third of their money, and then you 327 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: get the worst person possible on your hands. You know. 328 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: So uh, that's why you can hear me keep saying 329 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad it ain't the Jones is because you got 330 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: to decide how much of it was Dad, how much 331 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: of it it was Diz, how much was he hurt? 332 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Or is he just getting old? So you gotta sit 333 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: there with all those options, of none of them positive, 334 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: and decide how you gonna handle as young man, right, 335 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: because something something, I mean obvious something was was off 336 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: last year and like you said, Nate, it could have 337 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: been one of four different things. Yes, you know new 338 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: quarterback that you had, uh could have been off the 339 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: field issues. You know Dez mentioned that he was. Yeah, yeah, 340 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: it could be. Is he still injured? Is he just 341 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: at the point where he's on the back of his career? 342 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: And you got to take all of that into account 343 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: and figure out is it worth the investment that we 344 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: put in to take a chance on correcting whatever this 345 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: thing or things are that had made him have a 346 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: bad year. It's it's a tough spot. What do you think, Kurt? 347 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: What would you do? Yeah? I'd be I'm concerned, well 348 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: both sides. One, I'm concerned with the locker room and 349 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: how that will affect it and the fact that they 350 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: him and Dak still don't seem to have the chemistry 351 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: that everybody talks about and then be than that for 352 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: two years now. You'd think by this time maybe they'd 353 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: have something rolling a little better. Is that going to continue? 354 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: Would it help dak to have somebody different in here? 355 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, again, man, it's you just 356 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: don't find those that kind of talent sitting around on 357 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: their couch. You know, it's gonna be hard to replace 358 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: that kind of production. So I guess I'd like to 359 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: see them get a pay cut, get some money back, 360 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, not lower that salary a little bit. I 361 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to do it or not. Right, 362 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: See this this is what don't help. This is what 363 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: does not help. You see Peterson lead the Chiefs for nothing. 364 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about a top three corner just 365 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: left the Chiefs, you know, trade and they got nothing 366 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: for him. You see, uh Ben it get traded for 367 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: virsion and nothing, and it's Sarah number five point eight 368 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: meal and then you see Sherman get cut right up 369 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: cut and then he I mean he goes out and 370 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: he makes his money. So you know, fans gonna react. 371 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: You know, wow, we we we should have been able 372 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: to get one of these guys. Because what they're giving 373 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: up or what they're losing and doctor, you know, and 374 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: you don't know what missus Steven Jones is and how 375 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: he's trying to build his team, him and his staff. 376 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: So when you see fans just reacting, you know, oh, man, 377 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? You know what we signed 378 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: d Law? Well, we already had him and we know 379 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: we wanted to lose because we're gonna put the tag 380 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: on it. You know what about Hitchings, Well, when you 381 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: look at Ogletree, who just got traded from the Rams, 382 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, to the Giants, everybody said, okay, now they shifted. Well, 383 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: you know the Eagles, they're doing what they have to 384 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: do it they won the Super Bowl. And you look 385 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: look at the Giants. They needed a linebacker. They went 386 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: out and got Well, he's a ten million dollars linebacker. 387 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: Do we have ten million dollars under the cap that 388 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: we can kind of split up some kind of way? 389 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: I think if we did, we probably would have already 390 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: resigned Hitchens. Yeah. So you know, the Cowboys a lot 391 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: of years ago, maybe three or four years ago, knew 392 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: that they would be in this situation. And and you 393 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: know how they're getting out of this situation. But they're 394 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: not going out and getting these big name guys in 395 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: the offseason and signing these big free agents. They're being smart. 396 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: They're drafting young, they're trying to do developed these guys, 397 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: keep them while their salaries are low the first four 398 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: or five years, develop them, and then resign them if 399 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: they if they ball out. Like d Law, That's what 400 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: they did with d Law. They drafted him, developed him. Okay, 401 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: let's sign him, do a one year deal, make sure 402 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, stay on the field, and then 403 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: if if he shows us something, then we'll lock him 404 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: up long term. But everybody that's out there griping and 405 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: moaning because we're not going and getting these guys we're 406 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: in the We can't go get these guys because we've 407 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: done it in the past and we're still paying that 408 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: dead money. So yeah, I can't have it both years. 409 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: This is what cues you though, went It's like Seattle. 410 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: It's literally telling their fans about selling them. We find 411 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: the rebuild, ye right, yep. So they dumping they dumping. 412 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: Uh uh, that's I don't see, like talking about Thomas 413 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: and all that. I mean, we've got draft picks, you know, 414 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: we got these four compensed story picks that we can use. 415 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: We've got young guys that I mean, I guess that's 416 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm wishing that this team not only hasn't done really 417 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: great and free agency the last few years, they haven't 418 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: done a whole lot of trade wise either. And I'm 419 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: not sure why why not spend some of these younger 420 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: assets if they if they really can't compete right now, 421 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: they've got you know, a cheap Zeke, a cheap Dak. 422 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, they're in a position now where they seem 423 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: kind of on the edge of being a real contender. 424 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they should use some of these these picks. Some 425 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: of these younger guys can get get somebody in here 426 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: like Thomas. You know what, though I don't have a problem. 427 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with this period been over 428 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty years, so you know, this inconsistency of playoff no 429 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: playoffs for whatever ate and whatever ate And okay, we've 430 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: been inconsistent about that all But I sold I say 431 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: this two years ago. As long as you planning these 432 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: young guys, so in another year like next year, you know, 433 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: after this year, Roles, this year coming Roles by now 434 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: you know, now you your books about clean. You know 435 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: the players that can play, now go plug in and 436 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: stud where you need to plug to stud at. Yeah, 437 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: I guess i'd worry by the time. You know, those 438 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: guys can play two, three years, whatever it is down 439 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: the road. Now you got to pay them. Are you 440 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: gonna have the money? I mean, you're you're just getting 441 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: rid of Romo's contract. Well, now you gotta pay Dak. Okay, 442 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: but Dak is twenty forty and twenty five. He ain't 443 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: twenty nine. You get what I'm saying. Zeke is twenty six. 444 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: You know, d Laws just turning thirty. So the difference 445 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: is before you paying guys, it's twenty seven, twenty eight, 446 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: a five year deal, and they're your whole team.

I 577 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: just looked at the Blitz and it's like that beard 578 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: just doesn't look good on teller.

Well, I just sauntered by. 586 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: I was kind of checking out see everything that went 587 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: on over the weekend. And UM teams can start negotiating 588 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: with players today free agency. So I'm sure we'll be 589 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: getting a lot of rumors here in the next couple 590 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: of hours. So where do we sit on the cap? 591 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: We got a live bit from Kurt, But way way 592 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: do we sit on the cap? Do we have some 593 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: And I'm asking a question that a fan would ask, 594 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: we have so much dad money or money that we 595 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: that it really hinders is that much. I know, you 596 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: can go out and change up guys contracts. What I'm 597 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: saying is the dead money really was hurting us. Are 598 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: we just getting away from free agency? You know, in 599 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: them first stages, I would imagine, I mean, I haven't 600 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: seen any thing to suggest that they're going to jump 601 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: in head, you know, beat first the first week of 602 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: free agency, I would imagine they'd let the big ticket 603 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: items go and then start cherry picking what they can afford. Yeah, 604 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of space under the cap 605 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 1: right now, and they still have to give David Irving 606 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: a tender, and I would imagine it's at least a 607 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: second round tender as a restricted free agent, which will 608 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: cost them right at three million dollars, So you got 609 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: to cover that. You've already used seventeen point one four 610 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: three million to franchise to Marcus Lawrence and he didn't 611 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: take but a day to sign that guaranteed contract, so 612 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: that takes a big chunk out. You mentioned dead money. 613 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: They have around fifteen million in dead money right now, 614 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: although they carried over from last year some rebated money 615 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: like seven millions, so they got their cap from one 616 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: seventy seven to one eighty five, but take off fifteen 617 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: million of that and you don't have one seventy seven. 618 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: So they don't have a lot of operating space. But 619 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: as I tried to point out in my column on Friday, 620 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: is they spent their money to sign the best defensive 621 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: end in free agency to Marcus Lawrence. He was also 622 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: in some top fifty overall free agents, the third rank 623 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: free agents. Wow. So that's the that's their shot. That's 624 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: they signed a big guy. Now. I don't know how 625 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: many of those you can sign. I know you see 626 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: teams doing this and that, but fredencies, I'm not a 627 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: big fan of it. And look what Miami's doing right now. 628 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: They signed the Dominican sue for six years, one hundred 629 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: and ten million, or they're gonna cut him and they're 630 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: gonna eat twenty two million in dead money. I just 631 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: think you got to be very careful signing these free agents. 632 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, I've always agreed with that. Uh, But fans 633 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: are zealous, man. They they won't they won't action. I know, 634 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: I know we talked about that earlier. Last year. All 635 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: you heard was we got to get a pass rush. 636 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: We gotta get a dn You got him, you got 637 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: one of the best in the game. You resign him. 638 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: Now it's like okay, let's fine, but who are you 639 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: getting for the secondary? Like right? Yeah, And they probably will, 640 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: I would imagine keep their eyes on available safeties, somebody 641 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: that won't break the bank, but somebody maybe come in 642 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: and help them. Uh. They would have to do a 643 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: lot of adjustments on the salary cap to be able 644 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: to sign a top notch guy. And usually why would 645 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: a top notch guy be out there? Did go back 646 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: to your days? Did did Jerry ever let a player 647 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: he wanted in value get away in free agency? He 648 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: signed him? Right, So if those guys are out there's 649 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: got to be a reason, Like to do for Seattle, 650 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: you gotta be a reason. Sherman. Sherman, Nah, well he's 651 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: not a free agent. Yeah, if they want to get 652 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: rid of them, we've got an extra picks the share. 653 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: Don't you think they can do something? Not not even 654 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: necessarily with him, but just Cowboys don't trade much, No, 655 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,760 Speaker 1: they don't. And I mean, what are you getting? You know? Done? Okay, 656 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: I'll trade a fourth round pick for somebody. Well, what 657 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: am I getting for my fourth round pick is a deal. 658 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: And a lot of these guys that get traded, the 659 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: reason they're trading them is they're trying to get rid 660 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: of big base, salad, sar bad attitude. Yeah, so as 661 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: quality players, that's that's you know, that's kind of good 662 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: off field and great on field. I'm saying good office 663 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: because everybody got some issues, but good all you know, 664 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: good guys you can depend on off the field, but 665 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: great on the field. They just don't leave their teams. 666 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: Seems find a way to hold on someone. I just 667 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 1: look at the Seattle situation, though, and they they're obviously 668 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: they rebuilding. They dumping. You send them picks and a 669 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: young guy. You know, maybe that seems like I hope 670 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: they're at least trying. I hope they're you know, I 671 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: think that's fans and just looking back, sitting like we're 672 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: not even in this game, we're not even trying. Surely 673 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: they are, but man, I'd like to see him do 674 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: something with these They got a few extra picks, like 675 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: you got like five million and chips. This dude got 676 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: two million. I got one million, and we're playing and 677 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 1: you just said there as you're five mill you won't 678 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 1: even get any game, that's what you're saying. But you can. 679 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: I think those those picks now are most valuable to 680 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: improve your draft status because you've got four extra, four 681 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: extra picks, and you can use those to move up. 682 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: Say there's somebody in the second round, you know the 683 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: way they moved up to get to Marcus Lawrence. But 684 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: this trader to pick right. But this team is we 685 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: seem like we're right on the edge of being a 686 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: real contender. You know, you got Zeke and Dak cheap. 687 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, are more rookies gonna help this or do 688 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: we need to take those picks and get somebody that 689 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: can really help now? But you're also when you trade, 690 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: remember you're trading for that contract. So yeah, your teams 691 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: are getting you would have to renegotiate a guy's contract, 692 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: and somebody that's got to say, eleven million dollar base 693 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: he probably doesn't want to renegotiate. Nah, And that's probably 694 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: out of the cowboy and that would kill that would 695 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: kill a potential trade if you can't renegotiate the contract. Yeah, 696 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: I can give you a fourth but if I'm absorbing 697 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: an eleven million dollars base salary, that's tough. And you know, 698 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: guys can say no, I'm not going to do it, 699 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: and then it kills a trade. So it has to 700 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that have to come together 701 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: to be able to trade the way some of these 702 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: teams are doing right now. I just believe it's here. 703 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: We got enough. Just my period of what I won't 704 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: and what I think is right for me is to 705 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: get through this year. I'm somebody the new year. Get 706 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: through the new year. These guys flayed another year, whoever 707 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,919 Speaker 1: you draft and the first is second round play them, 708 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: and then the following year two thousand nineteen, that year there, 709 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: then you should be clear of more money and you 710 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: should know who can play, I mean really can play. 711 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, whether the Demarkus Lawrence is gonna be consistent 712 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: in what he's doing. You know, a Zcat for us 713 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: his contract either way, Dak dak at for us his contract. 714 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: Hopefully you don't got your third or fourth round pick 715 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: a receiver who's developing well and let's take off. Now 716 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: you go out and get you find that guy that's 717 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, not over the top crazy like they played 718 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: like New York played Vernon. That was that was to me, 719 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: that was crazy. That was when New York gave him 720 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: that amount of money. And I ain't see the sack 721 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: numbers that didn't that didn't add up to Nate. But anyway, 722 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: they did it. But that's that's why I'm at meck, 723 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: that's why I'm at if we get through nineteen. But now, 724 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: one thing you hit me grown about in probably this 725 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: and they we don't need you no more, is if 726 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: you get a first of the second round pick that 727 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: ain't injured that's not playing m that sounds familiar. You know, 728 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: you know I want him playing. Who would do that? Hey, 729 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: I ain't got none, say a season his past now well, 730 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: and and you know since you brought that up, that 731 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a critical evaluation, yes, on how you 732 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: build this defense. That's right? Are they all in? Is 733 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith ready to go? Because if he is, then 734 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I don't need to bring in a 735 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: middle linebacker. If you're iffy boy, you better figure out 736 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: what to do to get Anthony Hitchens back on this team. 737 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: Seeing that, to me, I think that's the key decision 738 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: on everything they do here over the next couple of weeks. 739 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: Hitchens Hitchens because he's awfully good and he's also versa 740 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: little and to me very valuable. And if you're not 741 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: all in on Jalen Smith on what you think he 742 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: can do where he projects, then you better spend the 743 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: money to get Anthony Hitchins six seven something like that, 744 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: or it depends on how the contracts. The problem is, 745 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: I've pointed this out before. Matt Eberflus is a big 746 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 1: fan of hitch Yeah, and he goes to Indianapolis as 747 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: the de coordinator and they've got like one hundred and 748 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 1: ten million dollars in space or whatever, it's like seventies something. 749 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: They can they can splurge, and if he wants him, 750 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: he can say, Okay, we can overpay you because this 751 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: guy gonna run my defense from me. He gonna get 752 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: everybody on board. Even they pay him two or three 753 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: years and have to cut him out of two or 754 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: three years, Mattus gonna say, this dude knows my defense, right, 755 00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: he can line my front seven up and be the man. Yeah. 756 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's scary is if hitch goes, Jalen 757 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: doesn't progress any you can't really get a bank on 758 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 1: getting a full season out of Sean Lee. Yeah, that's 759 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: not and then you're you're gonna need something either in 760 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: the draft or free agency at linebacker. So I think 761 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: that decision right there will kind of determine where they 762 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: go in free agency and in the draft, because they 763 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: don't have any depth at linebacker right now. There's no 764 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: more all. We got this veteran guy justin Durant. You 765 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: know that that ship has sailed. H Kyle wilbur is 766 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent. You know you're gonna bring him 767 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: back just for special team. Kyle Wilbur is army is 768 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: a true army Swiss knife that can maintain a position 769 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: if for maybe a half a game, a game, you know, 770 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 1: just spot play. That's how I look at him. That's 771 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: what you know years ago, like sign him because if 772 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: anybody get hurt, you know at all he can do 773 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: it all. But he and a guy want to see 774 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: week in and week out that right, so they that 775 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: linebacker spot needs to be adjusted. Yes, I would think, Mick, 776 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: let me ask you this is there a It seems 777 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: like every year we have this conversation where everybody's spending 778 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: money and the Cowboys aren't. And usually here it's because 779 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: of all the dead money. Are they getting into a 780 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: position where one, how did they get into that position? 781 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: I know Romo had a lot to do with it 782 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: and reached almost all had to do with this current one. Yeah, 783 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: so when does this fall off the books? And have 784 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 1: they been smart enough in the past couple of years 785 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: to where in a year or two they're clear of 786 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: all this and they can affem depends what they do 787 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: what does did, Because if you want to be cavalierly 788 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: say okay, let's get rid of him. He had an 789 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: average year. Well, okay, there's eight more million in dead 790 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: money unless you spread it over two years. Okay, then 791 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: it's four this year and four next year, and it 792 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: jags again too next year. So after they get past 793 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: this year with Tony Romo off the books, then yeah, 794 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 1: unless you make other big mistakes, then you shouldn't have 795 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are costing you dead money. 796 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: And really, if you look at it, other than deserts 797 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: contract and the offensive lineman's contracts, they really don't have 798 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: anybody that would be that expensive that if you said, okay, 799 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 1: I got a part ways, Oh, this is gonna kill 800 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: my salary cabinet. That's why I say nineteen year, nineteen 801 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, when twenty nineteen come, when it's eighteen goes away, 802 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,840 Speaker 1: eight just goes away nineteen at the end of nineteen, 803 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: we set let this season go, not for as you're 804 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: cheering and how you feel about the Cowboys, because if 805 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: we draft the right type of young guys, and I 806 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: believe it's because I've seen it happen with my team. 807 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 1: I've seen it happen with New Orleans this past year. 808 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 1: If you draft the right type of guys, a lot 809 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: of time, enthusiasm and athletic ability make up for some 810 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: of the some of the lack of experience. So if 811 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 1: we draft the right guys and see like like Kevin 812 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: King and I and you, I rarely do this because 813 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: what is worn under the bridge and it don't matter. 814 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: But Kevin King probably was a guy that was high 815 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: on the board. But I guess Charlton was ready just 816 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: a little bit higher and we had a need. Well, 817 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 1: I don't think we have to go that route this year. 818 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,959 Speaker 1: I really don't. If we signed David Irvan, I don't. 819 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: I feel we don't have to go that route. If 820 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: we If we if we tend to David Irvin and 821 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: get him back and he understands that he can make 822 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of money if he plays well, then we 823 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: don't have to go that route. So now you can 824 00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: truly just linebacker and whoever else, because linebacker and whoever else, 825 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: it don't matter. You just do what you gotta do. 826 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: We'll be all right. Now, you don't want an offensive guard, no, no, 827 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: because you know, let me say this right here, let 828 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: me let these people packs. I see some kids and 829 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: I'm about to cuss. No, no, we have three guys 830 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 1: barred injury. We'll be in the Hall of Fame someday 831 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: and if we ain't got a good enough coach to 832 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 1: make it. And my man at right talker had a 833 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 1: great year. Collin's had a great year. You know. Now 834 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: we got one position, left guard, Niki, it's teams that 835 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: got trash comparative. I mean he trash and getting in 836 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: the playoff with trash and I'm talking about the green 837 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: Baby Packers office line is garbage. Now you really feel 838 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: n you can find a USFL refugee to play that 839 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: spot and they won't be me come too old. But 840 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 1: I'm just saying one one guard. Yeah, no, man, no, no, 841 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: you get you find somebody in the fourth round uh, 842 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, come on now, no, man, it's not just worried. 843 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: You know. Okay, we're shooting for twenty nineteen. Now, well, 844 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: if you don't, I'm talking about me. Yeah. If you 845 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: don't do it that year, then you got Dak, then 846 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,959 Speaker 1: you got Zeke, then you got I think Sean Lee's 847 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 1: contracts up, then I mean you get It's just a 848 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: whole nother I'm gonna say round of no. But see, 849 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 1: I think mister Stephen Jones is different. I think at 850 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 1: that point two nineteen Sean Living gonna play for us. 851 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: How long it is? Probably ninth year. Yeah, and it's 852 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: called cowboyd discount what you're gonna do. Yeah, it's called 853 00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 1: cowboyd discount what you're gonna do? You know. The league 854 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: is not The league is so far ahead of where 855 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 1: it was when I played. You can play up. You 856 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 1: can pay a player in his youth now a large 857 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,720 Speaker 1: summer money if he's worth it, if he's worth it before. 858 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: It's like you paid the first round, in the second round, 859 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 1: third round, and everybody else got got through to the side. 860 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: So when a guy like myself, a free at who 861 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: played well, I had to fight for every penny because 862 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: I wasn't drafting the first set. That don't matter. Now, 863 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: if you garbage after that first contract, we ain't we 864 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: ain't picking up your option. Go somewhere else. But if 865 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: you is a baller, we got something in place where 866 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: we can pay you. So now now when we go 867 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: to the business side, Sean Leige, you've been playing nine year, bro, 868 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 1: We love you man. You know what what's you're gonna 869 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: do for the Cowboys right? Because it does come a 870 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 1: point where and that's what that's the thing with Dan. 871 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 1: Dan's been playing for us for six seven years now 872 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: and his production for whatever reason, is not there. So 873 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: now you make twelve meal or whatever next year. This 874 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: coming year, you making them. And I hate to say this, 875 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: but as a player, you you're forcing a hand because 876 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 1: your team didn't win. I promise you, if we would 877 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,280 Speaker 1: have won twelve games, they probably would have went behind 878 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 1: closed doors and reconstructed something and making me and making 879 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: been mad because we had dead money way coming down. 880 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: But you get what I'm saying. You're absolutely right if 881 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: you look at it from a realistic point of view. 882 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: I can look at it from mister Stephen Jones point 883 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: of view, you know, And I can also look at 884 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: it from dad's point of view, you know. But the 885 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: bottom line is, and mister mister Jones, along with Jimmy 886 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: Johnson when he was here, it ain't about you and 887 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,479 Speaker 1: it ain't about me. It's about us making it, making 888 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboy as a winner. Right. I think that fans, 889 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: we're being stuck in this a lot of a land. Yeah, 890 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,280 Speaker 1: middle up and down right. You know, for so long 891 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 1: I think fans are like, do something that's you know, 892 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing about cap space and don't have room. 893 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: But that's going to be as a fanom with you. 894 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 1: So my my bottom line on those people that have 895 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:25,959 Speaker 1: those opinions, I always say, Okay, you make this free 896 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,320 Speaker 1: agency decision. You go out there and sign some thirty 897 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: year old cornerback who's coming off of two Achilles surgeries 898 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: and pay them all this money, and if it doesn't work, 899 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 1: whatever job you have, you lose it. So if you 900 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: got a one hundred thousand dollars salary job and if 901 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: this work move doesn't work, you're fired. But are you 902 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: willing to go ahead and be that you are a 903 00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: good fan. But the Cowboys, the Patriots, the Saints, I'm 904 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: talking about two people with with fans. That's rapid. They 905 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: ain't trying to hear what you're saying. Man, I know 906 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: they don't want to. I got you, but I think 907 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: you have to consider that when you're making these demands. 908 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 1: They do they do if we'd won ten games and 909 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: got in the playoffs. Because there's no eraser on this stuff. 910 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:30,279 Speaker 1: I understand. I understand, we as fans understand, but that 911 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: is what the man here saying we got to have 912 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,760 Speaker 1: ever since. You guys know, man, I said, we gotta 913 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: start winning ten games. Yeah, if we can start winning 914 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: ten that's what Jason Garrett did. It didn't look good 915 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: because it cost us four draft spaces, you know, would 916 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: have been at fifteen if we would have lost to 917 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles. But Jason can't afford to have that losing 918 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: culture in his place, so he pushed his guys to 919 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: win this game. The guys know a hell man, you know, 920 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: with no man another bad season. We know, you heard 921 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: Drew Petersson. Yeah, man, they won nine game, Okay, win it. 922 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: Another bad season, But you gotta get that old, losing, 923 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: inconsistent culture out of you, out of your blood and 924 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: out of your systems. So here we said at nineteen, 925 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: it's better than where we were sitting last year. Yeah, 926 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 1: back to back with the season, you know, but I'm 927 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,240 Speaker 1: just saying it's it's better than where we were sitting 928 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 1: last year. For as a pick, we should pick a 929 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: guy where we don't have to hear the coach and 930 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,720 Speaker 1: our head scout a person there say, well, everybody rushed 931 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: the pass. See. I knew we was doomed this year 932 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,319 Speaker 1: because Charleton may turn out to be a beast next year, 933 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: you know. And that's when most guys who drafted in 934 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: that position and about the middle of the season in 935 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: their second year, they kind of turned on. But when 936 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: I heard both the head coach and the Will McClay say, well, 937 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 1: it's different ways to reach the passage, first thing, I said, 938 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: he ain't fast, he can't be in as hills. You know. 939 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,439 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I already knew it. Oh 940 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: my god, you know what that we've done him when 941 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,399 Speaker 1: when Kevin King was sitting right there. But anyway, that's 942 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: one under bridge. Well, and to your point, maybe they 943 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: got a little greedy because they saw the depth in 944 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: the draft at cornerback and said, well we can get 945 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: a good starting corner in the second third round, and 946 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 1: let's take a shot on our defensive. Yes, yes, and 947 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of what they're thinking. Was. Yeah, so fans 948 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: are seeing the Eagles had themselves a young, cheap quarterback. 949 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 1: Cowboys do too. And the Eagles went out and made 950 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,399 Speaker 1: moves last year. And they're still making moves because they 951 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: dumped earlier than us. I'm telling when Chip Kenna was 952 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: fired and they brought the guidish and the nevill put 953 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 1: another maybe they put the other guy in the in 954 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: the room and locked him up. The GM that's there. Now, 955 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: remember when Chip came, they took him out of his 956 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: spot and left his off his big old office empty 957 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 1: and moved him into call like you know, the long 958 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: move along and put the kids in the attic, put 959 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,800 Speaker 1: the guy in the attic. And then as soon as 960 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 1: they fired Chip Kelly, missus laurences what's his own the name? 961 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: Law Leary said, Okay, man, I know what we did 962 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: to you. We're gonna let him out. But this is yours, 963 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,840 Speaker 1: this team is yours. But see you end up getting 964 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: what you paid and they dump. Yeah, they had they 965 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 1: had a rookie quarterback. Okay, first second pick in the draft. Yeah, 966 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 1: it gave up a lot of picks inexpensive and they 967 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 1: had a backup that they paid six seven million dollars 968 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,959 Speaker 1: base salary, so it wasn't like they went cheap. Now 969 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: this year they can't afford Tory Smith. Yeah, so they 970 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: they jet used them. They're ten million over the cap 971 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: right now. They can't afford to sign some of their 972 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 1: defensive linemen bring them back, so they got to jettison 973 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, while seeing them make moves, there's other 974 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: things that they can't do, and and so it they 975 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,920 Speaker 1: can't go out and get that big play corner that 976 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 1: they craved even through the whole place. I mean, they're 977 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to bring back Patrick Robinson, 978 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 1: who's just a guy. He's a third corner and they 979 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: need him back. But you know what to say, I 980 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: tried to be Mick. I tried to show you know 981 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: what people say, you know, because they knew I wasn't 982 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,440 Speaker 1: Mick and I couldn't really get them how I wanted 983 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: to get them. But yeah, I still want to be wild. Yeah, 984 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know we all ought to be wild. Yeah, hey, Mick, 985 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: before we get out of here, what are you? What 986 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: are you here. Are you hearing anything on David Irving? 987 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 1: We were kind of wondering why they haven't tendered him yet. Well, 988 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: they got to do it by Wednesday, so they might 989 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: need to. And I don't know exactly where the cap is. 990 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 1: It's always a moving figure at Clewet. They made when 991 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: you tender him, you got to have that money available 992 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,040 Speaker 1: under the cap. So his second a second round tender 993 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 1: would be three million dollars. Well, you got to have 994 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,439 Speaker 1: three million available. So the first round is at four 995 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 1: or point one? I think it's four point one and 996 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: then two point nine. Oh wow, God, did you do 997 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: a little dance over the weekend when you found out 998 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 1: they resigned Brian Price? Yes, absolutely, party, party at the 999 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: Spagnola and else in a two year deal for minimum Like, 1000 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: where was he gonna go? He was? So what's our 1001 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: chance again? Bryce Butler Bett? Oh, I don't think he 1002 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: wants to be You didn't want it, especially if eighty 1003 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: eight's there. I don't think that. Oh yeah, I know 1004 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 1: they exist in the locker room. Oh I know them too. 1005 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: But let me ask you, so you say you get 1006 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: him back? Is not here? Is he a number one receiver? 1007 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: Who's your number one receiver. I'm not I'm not into that. 1008 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: So you ask these guys, I'm not. What I'm into 1009 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 1: is can you run the routes? Can you get yourself open? 1010 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: Because h our quarterback, I'll be a year older and 1011 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: he'll be I think he'll be a lot better. As 1012 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 1: long as long as you have the MVP and we 1013 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: have an offensive line that does what it has to do. 1014 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem. If all that happens, does 1015 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,640 Speaker 1: dees catch one more pass a game? What's that he 1016 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: about to catch more passes a game? I say, I 1017 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: don't matter what to me, keep him if you build 1018 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 1: your team, if you're building you, if you're building your 1019 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 1: team on your offensive line. To me, I was very disappointed. 1020 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: Now you can point it dead as all you want, 1021 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: but I was very disappointed and where offensive line played 1022 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: and then in the lack of a justments. So my 1023 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 1: issue is not with dads. My issue is with the 1024 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 1: coaches and maybe maybe the offensive line coach. More importantly, 1025 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: are the offensive coordinated. Secondly, that's where my issue was, 1026 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,120 Speaker 1: that you didn't make the proper adjustments when these guys 1027 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: went down. Because we have a we have the most 1028 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: the best athletic line in the league. It's too many 1029 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 1: things that these dudes can do that can offset not 1030 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: having one position. Do you realize that Adrian Claiborne finished 1031 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 1: the season with nine and a half sacks, which means 1032 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,840 Speaker 1: in fifteen games he had three and a half sacks, 1033 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: and he wouldn't have got the eight million dollars that right. Yeah. 1034 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: So my point, and I made it on our show, 1035 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: all death need to do is catch one more pass 1036 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: a game, Just one more. That's sixteen, right, sixteen and 1037 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: sixty nine is what eighty five he had caught eighty 1038 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 1: five passes, we wouldn't be having this discussion on him. 1039 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 1: You know, Like I said, my issue, ain't that? My 1040 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 1: issue is you don't have three all pro offensive a linement. 1041 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: You you you give them three offensive a linement to 1042 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 1: the Saints, so you give them to uh, you give 1043 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 1: them to the forty nines. LL just make sure your 1044 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: left tackle stays healthy. Yeah, but you know what, even 1045 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: if he missed two games, well you better have somebody 1046 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: can take a spot. There's actually average more catches per 1047 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 1: game this year than he didn't last year. I mean 1048 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: in seventeen and sixteen. If you look at the free 1049 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: agent wide receivers that are out there that will be 1050 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: out there's only one numbers. His numbers are better than 1051 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: all of them. His numbers are better than over half 1052 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the receivers. The problem was we remember the drops, which 1053 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: was kind of weird that and we didn't have a 1054 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: winning If we had a winning season, it's over. I'm 1055 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: talking about ten wins and more put you in the playoffs, 1056 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and we ain't discussing this. I openly the Jones is 1057 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 1: probably the still will be like, hey, we need to 1058 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: make some adjestment. They gotta get better. Yeah, can't stand 1059 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 1: still because if you scan still in this league, you're 1060 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 1: getting worse. Kent, we're only like three minutes over because 1061 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 1: he's ready to go. He is no Douglas, but hey, 1062 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 1: thank you for it's my fault, No, it's our fault. 1063 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Thank you for Kent. Thanks for not injecting yourself into 1064 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: the show like Douglas. We really appreciate that.
