Speaker 2: the Cowboys. So June four, five, and six, Many Campus
Speaker 2: here and then they're gone. Get to go away, get
Speaker 2: to enjoy the last bit of your your life. Then
Speaker 2: you get back and you start training camp here and
Speaker 2: as we go into many camp, the top story of
Speaker 2: the day, Yes, Sir, pach Maherrison Berry church Wide receiver
Speaker 2: Jordan Jefferson four years, one million dollars, highest highest non
Speaker 2: paid in quarterback in the NFL history, one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten million dollars of it is guarantee. If you're CD
Speaker 2: out wrong, if your CD lamb, today's a good day.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
Speaker 3: It's a good day for your CD. It's a good day.
Speaker 3: If you're Michael Parsons, oh you know it's coming to
Speaker 3: it's a good day.
Speaker 4: It's a great day.
Speaker 5: Nine quarterback getting over one hundred million guaranteed these days.
Speaker 4: Hey, look justin Jefferson, flat out dog.
Speaker 5: You know, one of the best, if not the best
Speaker 5: receiver in the National Football League.
Speaker 4: Deservedly so.
Speaker 5: But like you said, if I'm CD LAMB, I'm looking
Speaker 5: my chops to this situation.
Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, this man getting one hundred and ten mil.
Speaker 4: What is that? Thirty thirty five, thirty sixty years something
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 3: Oh, I got to get that.
Speaker 5: I got to see all of that, because if you
Speaker 5: look at it to me, City Lamb, Justin Jefferson, they're
Speaker 5: you know, one A, one B, whoever, whatever style you like.
Speaker 5: And if I'm CD, I'm like, look, last year, you know,
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson was hurt a little bit, but I balled out.
Speaker 5: I was an All Pro out there. You know, I
Speaker 5: was leading the touchdowns, catches, all that stuff. Even though
Speaker 5: teams were giving me all the attention, double team, triple team,
Speaker 5: I will still able to go out there and give
Speaker 5: you the yards and the production that he was able
Speaker 5: to go out there. So if I'm CD, Lamb, I'm
Speaker 5: looking at that and I'm saying I need the same amount,
Speaker 5: nothing less, nothing less, because if you look looking at
Speaker 5: it going forward, Justin Jefferson Minnesota, great receiver, but they
Speaker 5: got a rookie quarterback right now. You know what's what's
Speaker 5: gonna be. Is he gonna keep his production level going up?
Speaker 4: Or is it kind of.
Speaker 5: Plateau right now where it's at ceedee lamp. You got
Speaker 5: one of the top five quarterbacks international football.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, His production's gonna his production's gonna keep rolling.
Speaker 5: So if I'm CD, I'm looking my chops like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna need all that, and y'all probably not gonna
Speaker 5: see me until I get a piece of that.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna double down on that because I absolutely agree
Speaker 6: with you BC. I think that we said it last
Speaker 6: week when we were talking about Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 4: I called it collusion. You know they hey, they talking about.
Speaker 6: These contracts because they're gonna be market setting contracts. And
Speaker 6: if I'm CD, based off of the year that he
Speaker 6: had last year and before that, I'm basically saying, look,
Speaker 6: my trajectory, it's all the way up with me, right
Speaker 6: and just and kind of going back to Justin Jefferson's contract,
Speaker 6: and I think it was something we talked about pre show,
Speaker 6: was is a four year deal for him. So this
Speaker 6: is a twenty three year old guy that's gonna get
Speaker 6: an opportunity to come back to the table and get
Speaker 6: even more. And so look, this is a great like
Speaker 6: you said, great time to be Micah, great time to
Speaker 6: be CD. But if I'm CD, I want this contract.
Speaker 6: I want to see the language in this contract, and
Speaker 6: I want to say what's the difference between him and me?
Speaker 6: And that's where the rubber measter roll. If I'm CD,
Speaker 6: you got to tell me you got to show me
Speaker 6: what's the difference between this guy and who I am
Speaker 6: and what I mean to you as a team. Now,
Speaker 6: we talked about last season those first four game CD
Speaker 6: LAMB did not the production wasn't there, whatever, the disconnect
Speaker 6: between him and Dak was. They found a way to
Speaker 6: fix that. And so you come into this season if
Speaker 6: they're on the same page those numbers that he could
Speaker 6: eclipse those numbers by a tremendous amount. All right, But
Speaker 6: I guess the thing that makes me uncomfortable in this situation, guys,
Speaker 6: is that how are the Cowboys going to be able
Speaker 6: to have market setting contracts at the quarterback position, the
Speaker 6: receiver position, at the defensive position. I mean, and then
Speaker 6: you still have guys behind that and Ferguson and Bland
Speaker 6: is still going to be won in their paydays as well.
Speaker 6: So it's a pickle if you're the front office. But man,
Speaker 6: there's no snow escaping it. You're gonna have to you
Speaker 6: have you drafted well, and you're gonna have to play
Speaker 6: these pay these guys or let them go to other
Speaker 6: teams and allow them to pay them.
Speaker 2: We said, you know he's gonna get thirty five man, Man,
Speaker 2: it's a good it's a good day for CD Lamb.
Speaker 2: So wow, yeah, now it's five million dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh, yesterday's price is not today.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, and I kind of go into this.
Speaker 2: Teams are now having to make the decision where do
Speaker 2: we go. The Viking said to Kirk Cousins, no more,
Speaker 2: We're not gonna do this. So Atlanta paid the freight
Speaker 2: on the contract, so they decided we're not going to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 3: They've got a rookie.
Speaker 2: They've got a rookie quarterback now, so so you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to figure out how do you make this puzzle
Speaker 2: work for yourself.
Speaker 3: Lamb will be here. He's young enough. You cannot afford
Speaker 3: to let him go.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Jordan Jefferson would be a Minnesota They
Speaker 2: decide we're gonna pay the thirty five.
Speaker 3: We're gonna do it. Parsons is not gonna go anywhere.
Speaker 3: He's too young.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna let him go. And the way they're
Speaker 2: acting right now, I wonder what's gonna happen with the
Speaker 2: quarterback because you start talking about the numbers that are here,
Speaker 2: fifty five million for Prescott, thirty five million for Lamb,
Speaker 2: we haven't got to what Michael Parsons is going to
Speaker 2: get yet. You bring up Jake Ferguson to me, that's
Speaker 2: not even I'm not even gonna entertain that.
Speaker 3: And men, thanks literally, I look at Jake Ferguson, who
Speaker 3: I like as a player.
Speaker 2: But if you want to start talking about the tight
Speaker 2: end numbers and what that's gonna cost you and where
Speaker 2: you've got to go, you start looking at the rest
Speaker 2: of your team. I got Tyler Smith, I gotta pay.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pay Tyler Smith before I paid it tightle.
Speaker 2: I can go find another Jake for This is where
Speaker 2: I've got to go to my front office to say, hey, look,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to have you find some dudents for
Speaker 2: us because everyone just simply cannot get paid.
Speaker 3: Diggs is making good money.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, Land, Okay.
Speaker 2: There's an interesting thing about blaining deron Bland. I mean,
Speaker 2: what do you do there? I don't I put it
Speaker 2: like this. I'll pay my corner before I'll pay my titty,
Speaker 2: wouldn't you.
Speaker 4: You can never have as many cover people right.
Speaker 2: Right, So I simply can't. I can't go just find
Speaker 2: another hymp all due respects. Much like Jake Ferguson, you've
Speaker 2: you've seen that you can go. You found adult and
Speaker 2: Choultz you get fut that you can go do that
Speaker 2: you you have in front office. It understands what type
Speaker 2: of tight end you have. It's gonna be interesting. And
Speaker 2: that's where the quarterback. As long as the quarterback situation
Speaker 2: keeps going out here, haven't I'm having to wonder and
Speaker 2: ask myself is the quarterback going to be back?
Speaker 6: It's not even look, I think when when it comes
Speaker 6: down to Dak, whichever side you you you go to
Speaker 6: with him, the inconsistency in the playoffs, you know what
Speaker 6: you get with him, all right, And regardless if Mike
Speaker 6: is here next year, this year, whatever it is, you
Speaker 6: know how solid of a player that you get those
Speaker 6: seventeen games, all right, there's no sense in bothering for
Speaker 6: the future against that.
Speaker 4: To me, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 6: You try and find a way between now and the
Speaker 6: beginning of the season to get Dak's deal done because
Speaker 6: you can't do it. To me, if you can't do
Speaker 6: anything else without getting that deal done, and if you
Speaker 6: just sit on your hands and say, look, we're not
Speaker 6: gonna do anything, and you let him walk at the
Speaker 6: end of the season. Then how much sense does that
Speaker 6: make If you don't get anything, you get nothing in
Speaker 6: return in that situation.
Speaker 2: So you're right, But what part about any of this
Speaker 2: has made sense? Why didn't you lock up CD Lamb.
Speaker 2: Why did you lock up when you could have got
Speaker 2: it at twenty once you saw Tybree Kill get paid.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you do a thing? Why didn't you pay
Speaker 3: dak before?
Speaker 2: So as this thing keeps going on, yeah, I'm just
Speaker 2: starting to wonder who gets left by the side of
Speaker 2: the road.
Speaker 6: Well, look, it's hard for me to go into the
Speaker 6: mind of what the front office is thinking, especially when
Speaker 6: you started the season saying all in, all right, and
Speaker 6: nothing has been all in since you've made the statement
Speaker 6: all right, and so this has been a very confusing offseason,
Speaker 6: to say the least. All right, we say preach all right,
Speaker 6: less is more. Maybe somebody said less is more, this
Speaker 6: is what we're gonna do. But if you're not gonna
Speaker 6: take care of the core players that you have that
Speaker 6: you know that you're gonna depend on, then that's the
Speaker 6: part that doesn't make any sense to me, because you
Speaker 6: can't build anything for the future around it. Even as
Speaker 6: you talk about these young players, right, Dak's getting Dak's
Speaker 6: deal done. And even if they're thinking, all right, the
Speaker 6: the the it's gonna increase as far as the cap
Speaker 6: in the future, all right, and maybe you'll have more
Speaker 6: money to play with if that's what they're I'm just
Speaker 6: trying to be in the mind of these guys. But
Speaker 6: in some way you have to get Dak's deal done
Speaker 6: just to continue with this momentum with these young guys.
Speaker 6: You make the point about Justin Jefferson and them having
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 4: You don't know what the hell you're getting with.
Speaker 6: That, You don't, Okay, So the trajectory, you get paid
Speaker 6: all this money, but you in Minnesota, you're not getting
Speaker 6: the balls, you know, touchdowns, but you're getting all this money.
Speaker 6: And so how does that look as a player for
Speaker 6: perception wise?
Speaker 2: JA Dave Chappelle clutching that money, Okay, I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: somebody's cold. I got my quarterback. I'm clutching at thirty five.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna clutch at be.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, and that may be the last that may
Speaker 6: be the last payday that you get. As we start
Speaker 6: talking about players in the future, and that can that
Speaker 6: can have direct ramifications on you in the future. So
Speaker 6: he's going to be looking at that. But if I'm CD,
Speaker 6: if I'm the Cowboys, I'm in a position right now
Speaker 6: with the quarterback that has shown me he's continuing to
Speaker 6: get better.
Speaker 4: Where did that let that off? Last year? He got
Speaker 4: better MVP votes.
Speaker 3: All of that second MVP voting.
Speaker 2: But but why is he out here waiting on the
Speaker 2: deal still? That's the part Heckma that I can't get
Speaker 2: out of my head because he's done everything that tells
Speaker 2: you you should be signing him to a new deal.
Speaker 6: Percent on what the deal getting done? What is your
Speaker 6: faith percentage wise on the deal get done? Where are
Speaker 6: you right now? See faith is no, no, no, hope,
Speaker 6: May don't don't do that? May I know you by
Speaker 6: the tell political as percentage? What is your percentage on
Speaker 6: that right now? What do you think?
Speaker 3: Sixty percent of me says it gets done?
Speaker 4: Sixty percent okay said?
Speaker 2: The forty percent that's out there is I don't get
Speaker 2: it because Jerry and the past Troy never had to
Speaker 2: beg for dollars, Romo never had to beg for dollars.
Speaker 2: You've put dak on a franchise tag now and now
Speaker 2: we're sitting around here, floating around trying to.
Speaker 3: Figure out what else? What does he have? Why isn't
Speaker 3: he signed?
Speaker 2: I mean, this reminds me of the Lamar Jackson situation
Speaker 2: in Baltimore where some people believe there was collusion across
Speaker 2: the league about getting that done. But he can leave.
Speaker 2: You got nothing at the end. Why would did you
Speaker 2: even want to play this game? I don't understand. He
Speaker 2: did everything, in my opinion, outside of winning in the
Speaker 2: playoffs that you want him to do. You know, by
Speaker 2: the way, Lamar Jackson didn't do it either. No, he
Speaker 2: won the MVP.
Speaker 3: Guy won the MVP.
Speaker 2: Say both dudes laid eggs, so that for me, I
Speaker 2: don't understand. Jalen Hurts, they wrote to check no problem.
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, they wrote to check no problem. What's the
Speaker 2: problem here? That's what I'm Kirk Cousins got a check.
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming up an injury.
Speaker 2: Jerry, Please tell me why you're a quarterback and you're
Speaker 2: the dude since you bought the team in eighty nine
Speaker 2: when you drafted Troitman and gave him a record to
Speaker 2: a couple track, you're the guy who always pays his people.
Speaker 5: Is it the fact that he's I understand four rounded,
Speaker 5: but he was this was way, but he's turned himself
Speaker 5: into an all pro mvlact.
Speaker 3: He led the league.
Speaker 5: That they're making him like you said, beg for these
Speaker 5: dollars when you got guys Herberst my boy, they never
Speaker 5: want a playoff game.
Speaker 4: I can see Hirs he took them to the super Bowl.
Speaker 5: But these other guys, Kirk Cousins like you just named,
Speaker 5: they got stops, but there's no.
Speaker 4: Productions with it.
Speaker 2: Golf just got paid, yes, golf, and nothing against him.
Speaker 2: But we know they have assembled a team where there's
Speaker 2: a lot of help. Were big upfront, we got some
Speaker 2: running backs and we've invested in So they're not asking
Speaker 2: him to go be Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. They're not
Speaker 2: asking him to be that he got the cash. This
Speaker 2: is just weird to me. That's why I got the
Speaker 2: forty percent out of here because I've never seen Jerry
Speaker 2: operate in this fashion with his quarterback.
Speaker 6: That's the disconnect between the fan base and the front office.
Speaker 6: Is when you start saying, as far as Dak is concerned,
Speaker 6: that he's basically like he's dancing for his meal. Right,
Speaker 6: but he is still when he got his deal, he's
Speaker 6: reset the market for quarterbacks at his deal.
Speaker 4: Now time has gone.
Speaker 6: On, you would have liked for that deal to have
Speaker 6: been done last year so you didn't have to worry
Speaker 6: about this.
Speaker 4: And these are the things. All you're talking about dragging
Speaker 4: your feet.
Speaker 6: That's it, because that got paid and he's gonna continue
Speaker 6: to get paid, all right, And so he's waiting on
Speaker 6: another because anybody's sitting out there, what do you mean
Speaker 6: that got paid top quarterback salary in the league at
Speaker 6: the time that he got that got paid guys, Yes,
Speaker 6: and they got to put a clause.
Speaker 3: Hey man, we need you to look at this back.
Speaker 4: Those are all those other things.
Speaker 6: All those other things, don't these things are not even
Speaker 6: applicable to Dak because the guy is a football field
Speaker 6: in his backyard, all right, So you're not worried about
Speaker 6: him and his dedication to the game. All we're saying
Speaker 6: is you can't get any of these other deals done
Speaker 6: until you pay this guy. And everybody knows maybe you know, believer,
Speaker 6: it's different from right now.
Speaker 4: You can okay, you can do that.
Speaker 3: If you wanted to pay it, you could do that.
Speaker 3: I mean you paid digs.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted to go ahead to say,
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna go here first, they can do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would that would store your cap from where
Speaker 6: your cap hit is with with that, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: They did it.
Speaker 2: They did it before he signed last time around. They
Speaker 2: signed some other guys, so so you can do it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't make sense
Speaker 2: the three of us here. Why would you do this
Speaker 2: in a league that's a quarterback league. How come you
Speaker 2: haven't gone ahead and say, boom, we're taking care of you.
Speaker 2: But you know, if you want to sit around here
Speaker 2: each French fries first and and go a hey broccoli.
Speaker 3: And then well we'll get to the state later on.
Speaker 2: I don't get it, and it and it just it
Speaker 2: just it boggles my mind because this is not I'm
Speaker 2: so much about history and looking at past things that people.
Speaker 3: This is not the Joneses.
Speaker 2: You know, Tony Tony you played with Tony never had
Speaker 2: to sing for no supper bro checks every single time.
Speaker 5: Flip flops and hall. But do you think those the
Speaker 5: front office thought those were the guys and they're still
Speaker 5: out out on Prescott.
Speaker 4: I mean that's to be the only that could be
Speaker 4: the only, like because.
Speaker 3: Someone somewhere along the way there's a question.
Speaker 6: So I guess what you're saying is you're in a waiting,
Speaker 6: wait and see situation with this season with Dak here.
Speaker 4: That's the only way they've.
Speaker 3: Done it before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I could think of. They've done it.
Speaker 3: Before, they made the man play on a franchise tag.
Speaker 6: I just I think you're beyond that point now. I
Speaker 6: think before I may I may have agreed with you,
Speaker 6: but I think you're beyond that point, especially after last season, especially.
Speaker 4: After why they get no. They pin in the paper.
Speaker 3: If he's the guy.
Speaker 6: That's the million dollar question, this should get done. And
Speaker 6: that's why I asked the question. What's your percentage of
Speaker 6: getting the deal done? You say sixty percent. I believe
Speaker 6: the deal gets done before we go to camp.
Speaker 2: What's percent? I'm seventy five you're saying before camp? See, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just period.
Speaker 4: So you said he might go into the season without.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. We've seen it before. Though, we've seen this before.
Speaker 2: I mean, so we're not talking about something that hasn't
Speaker 2: made a scratch our heads. That's true, and it's so
Speaker 2: out of character, so out of character for what they're doing.
Speaker 3: I don't get it.
Speaker 2: And and we'll dive into this next. Paying Trey Lance five
Speaker 2: point three million dollars and they're talking about him in
Speaker 2: a positive lot.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. And is Michaeh.
Speaker 2: Parsons Is Michael Parsons the leader? There was a column
Speaker 2: written about that. Barry Church is laughing, But we'll dive

Speaker 2: It is mandatory, mini, can't we here at the Star
Speaker 2: Cowboys getting After June four, five and six, head coach
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is going to be in year two of
Speaker 2: his offense here, So that to me should be exciting
Speaker 2: if you're Dak Prescott and CD Lamb, who had a
Speaker 2: great connection last year being all pro players, of what
Speaker 2: they could do a year two of this.
Speaker 3: Trey Lance is the backup quarterback he was. They spoke
Speaker 3: about him once again.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy was a lot of positive things to say
Speaker 2: that they're going to push him heavily for preseason preseason camp.
Speaker 5: Out here disrespecting my guy out here, man, Now he's
Speaker 5: my guy, but you know before he wasn't respect.
Speaker 4: What is he done?
Speaker 5: What has Trey done to be like you know, all right,
Speaker 5: he's we're gonna slide him in there. We're gonna push
Speaker 5: and see, you know, see what he got. I understand
Speaker 5: preseason on a camp, But what has he done.
Speaker 4: For him to just be next in line? The air
Speaker 4: the air apparent?
Speaker 5: I just besides being a first round pick, like all right,
Speaker 5: so if he was a four or fifth round pick,
Speaker 5: are we still we're still doing? Like we come on,
Speaker 5: He's had opportunities last year he was here, didn't scratch
Speaker 5: the surface. Now all of a sudden, he's gonna be
Speaker 5: out there the trade package read out.
Speaker 4: I'm dealing these days, me and CD can I just
Speaker 4: I don't see it, man.
Speaker 6: I see the disrespect for now, and I respect that
Speaker 6: coming from you as a former player. I think you
Speaker 6: you understand that. That's probably how the locker room is
Speaker 6: speaking too. You know what has this guy done as
Speaker 6: he even because Cooper Rush has already shown you, he's
Speaker 6: given you that time proof and consistency that if all
Speaker 6: hell breaks loose, he can come in and be a
Speaker 6: guy that could be a gap for the four or
Speaker 6: five games and pull out some quality wins for you. Like,
Speaker 6: what else is Mike McCarthy supposed to say that about trailer?
Speaker 6: I mean, what do he come out and says, guys,
Speaker 6: garbage is taking it up. You know he's gonna come
Speaker 6: out and say, look, we've made some modifications to his
Speaker 6: throwing motion and he's getting rid of the ball a
Speaker 6: lot quicker.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: You know, he's reading defenses a lot better. Now we've
Speaker 6: taken a gamble on this guy, and we got at
Speaker 6: least talk him up if he's gonna have any equity
Speaker 6: for us to move on from in the future. So look,
Speaker 6: it's all just coaches speak to me. I didn't buy
Speaker 6: too much into that. Now these preseason games, you'll get
Speaker 6: an opportunity to see Trey you trigger Tray.
Speaker 4: See how not right release. I just don't hear anything
Speaker 4: about it. The athletics. Come on, man, come on, we'll.
Speaker 6: See what he got what he was supposed to do.
Speaker 6: I noticed your man and all, and we waited, were
Speaker 6: waiting on the debut. You see what he got the
Speaker 6: second coming.
Speaker 5: The smiddy nobody wants to trust in Mike's.
Speaker 2: Programmed might do it out there with my forty percent
Speaker 2: being out here talked about, you know, was I think
Speaker 2: sixty percent that they will sign Doak Prescott?
Speaker 3: The forty percent is a part of that. Is Trey
Speaker 3: Lance here a part of that.
Speaker 2: It is a to me, it's a part of the
Speaker 2: factoring in here because I've chatted with a couple of folks.
Speaker 2: So I still think they like to get that done.
Speaker 2: I think that's what they want to do. But clearly
Speaker 2: they're working on playing B. And if plan B is
Speaker 2: Lance rush the ticket, the Lance rush.
Speaker 3: Ticket, they don't run it twenty twenty five. Maybe that's
Speaker 3: what they do.
Speaker 2: But at this point in time, you cannot just dismiss
Speaker 2: it and say, nah, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 4: The Lance Rush Tours. I just man, stranger things have happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Tony Romill coming to start a quarterback, because
Speaker 2: I remember me, Romo came in here with Terres Newman
Speaker 2: and was the fourth quarterback that you thought was gonna
Speaker 2: get cut until they cut Quincy. So we've seen crazier
Speaker 2: things happen around here. I just don't think you should
Speaker 2: laugh off Trey Lance. Don't laugh at Trey Lance off, Like,
Speaker 2: don't laugh at him like that.
Speaker 4: Man, he did gonna come in here.
Speaker 3: Don't laugh like that. Don't laugh man, Just trying to
Speaker 3: tell you, don't laugh. Don't laugh.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm gonna come off the couch and.
Speaker 10: Up.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 5: I just can't see it personally. I just man, we'll
Speaker 5: see them. Why why because we haven't seen him done
Speaker 5: it before. And and look, time proof. You're big on
Speaker 5: this time proof and consistency thing, and we've seen it
Speaker 5: from Cooper Rush. And I just I just look, you're
Speaker 5: making me go. According's hands on you right now.
Speaker 2: And so when you go Cooper Rush, okay, I go
Speaker 2: back to what he did with then McCarthy's program, because
Speaker 2: I saw what he was here.
Speaker 3: Boy JG.
Speaker 2: Don't like just say he took to New York and
Speaker 2: couldn't get that out of he was was the guy
Speaker 2: who got something out of us.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the man's program he's showing.
Speaker 2: I'm just more or less saying, guys, as long as
Speaker 2: this Dak contract hangs out here the way it's hanging
Speaker 2: out here, because when he gets the free agency, they
Speaker 2: can't stop it.
Speaker 4: No, they can't stop it.
Speaker 3: Right, it's over with. And so then it becomes a
Speaker 3: point of hey, man, who's gonna give you most money?
Speaker 3: How do I feel?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's you're you're going and he may you
Speaker 2: let him go, he may not come back. And so
Speaker 2: if that's the case, then that means Lance Rush may
Speaker 2: be what you go with as your quarterback. It is
Speaker 2: a possibility, oh for sure. And I'm putting it in
Speaker 2: a forty percent possibility right now because I don't know.
Speaker 6: And that and that great area to me, based off
Speaker 6: of the contracts that you're putting together, the team that
Speaker 6: you coming off of the season three seasons that you've had,
Speaker 6: why would you blow that up for a lesser known
Speaker 6: commodity in Trey Lance. To me, even if if even
Speaker 6: like Mike McCarthy right now, he's in his last year
Speaker 6: on his contract, he can't put his faith in Trey
Speaker 6: Lance right now. Your best way to get there is
Speaker 6: through Dak ever having a great season.
Speaker 2: That's yes, what you say, Okay, heck man, what's yours?
Speaker 2: I'm not debating you. What you say makes sense, But
Speaker 2: it also doesn't make sense that your head coach, who's
Speaker 2: only only Andy Reid the last three years, has one
Speaker 2: more regular season games in him, is sitting around here
Speaker 2: singing for his supper, that your quarterback who led the
Speaker 2: league and touchdown passes second to the MVP, is singing.
Speaker 2: None of this makes sense. But this is what the
Speaker 2: owner has laid out. And so if he's laid this
Speaker 2: out here, you have to say, okay, they could not
Speaker 2: be back.
Speaker 3: Because he's left the door open for that to happen.
Speaker 3: Cannot ignore that Jerry we trust.
Speaker 5: I mean, like always said, he's never let somebody leave
Speaker 5: that he that he's won it, and he's paid weapons
Speaker 5: out here.
Speaker 4: We talked about this last week.
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, if Mike McCarthy has a
Speaker 2: really good year, guess what he can do too, just
Speaker 2: like that, let me ease on out this door or
Speaker 2: find something better if I want to.
Speaker 4: They can re up, then definitely he can.
Speaker 2: Re up or he could go walk if he has
Speaker 2: another let's say, ten win season, four years in a row,
Speaker 2: ten plus win seasons in this league, and we all
Speaker 2: know this is a different kind of franchise to work
Speaker 2: for you your time in Jackson. Yeah right, it's a
Speaker 2: whole lot going on around here that Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 3: Is going to show a prow that.
Speaker 2: He heckma, it doesn't make any sense. No, we agree,
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense, but this is what has been
Speaker 2: allowed to happen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, from the beginning with Mike McCarthy. I said it
Speaker 6: coming into the Sea, coming into this offseason that that
Speaker 6: was the one deal that to me didn't make sense
Speaker 6: that that didn't get done to get him get his
Speaker 6: deal redone is from because that has anything to do
Speaker 6: with the salary cap or anything like that. And he's
Speaker 6: he's been successful. I just think it's the playoffs that
Speaker 6: is plaguing him right now. And you know, if he
Speaker 6: if he does exactly what you just said, and then
Speaker 6: he's not the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, after winning four consecutive Dan.
Speaker 3: Campbell got a deal.
Speaker 2: Let me think about that, you know, I mean, you know, okay,
Speaker 2: the body of work. I mean, Mike McCarthy is a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl coach who's come here and taken over for
Speaker 2: your man and done it out.
Speaker 3: You know, takeaway the first year COVID year.
Speaker 2: The guys. The guy's been on coaching. He's been coaching,
Speaker 2: and you got to sit around here. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Let's get our last break in here when we come back.

Speaker 6: congratulations He Maharris twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: He is Bury Church, Lewiscrus Players Lounge mandatory mini camp
Speaker 2: is this week, so Michael Parsons is required to be
Speaker 2: here June four, five six.
Speaker 3: He has not been.
Speaker 2: Here for the OTAs which is the uh that's voluntary, okay.
Speaker 3: And to quote the great Darren Hamlet was I was
Speaker 3: there when he said it to me? What do volunteer mean?
Speaker 3: Jacky Valley reach?
Speaker 4: What do what? Heavy on the duke? But do voluntary means?
Speaker 2: So David Moore, the Dallas Morning News came up with
Speaker 2: the comps Dallas Cowboys, Michael Parsons is a star. That
Speaker 2: does not mean he is a leader. Soas no one
Speaker 2: should question Michael parsons drive to be great. Now, if
Speaker 2: you want to question his credentials as a leader, that's
Speaker 2: fair game. After the Cowboys got drilled forty eight thirty
Speaker 2: five to get Green Bay Packers. Parsons said, cool, I
Speaker 2: want to change the culture. I want to change the
Speaker 2: identity of what the Cowboys are. Cut the charades out,
Speaker 2: cut out the extra stuff. I just want people to
Speaker 2: lock in for twenty two or whatever weeks. Parsons has
Speaker 2: decided not to participate in the off season the OTAs
Speaker 2: he's been training, but he came to the Star last
Speaker 2: week to cut promos.
Speaker 4: So to get up.
Speaker 3: I'm puffy, I'm all that, I'm all in the video.
Speaker 4: To retire that one.
Speaker 2: Everybody else out there and practicing. I just put on
Speaker 2: my stuff.
Speaker 3: In that gun.
Speaker 4: The boy you gotta see.
Speaker 6: You gotta be there for the NBC intros and the
Speaker 6: Jumpo trun Dog.
Speaker 4: You do it to make it happen.
Speaker 2: And that's where Moore is like, you know, showing up
Speaker 2: in the start to shoot a video then pointedly not
Speaker 2: practicing with your teammates is another thing.
Speaker 3: The optics are not good.
Speaker 2: He says, they weren't good on Thursday with Parsons posted
Speaker 2: on X while his teammates were practicing at the Ford
Speaker 2: Center do the Rain. So that's where David Moore's column
Speaker 2: comes in and says, yeah, he's a star, but is
Speaker 2: he much of a leaders?
Speaker 5: Start with you Church, I ain't gonna say, you know,
Speaker 5: he's a bad leader, and greatly you know, there's things
Speaker 5: that that he does out there or to where myself,
Speaker 5: you know, as a former captain, I wouldn't have done.
Speaker 5: But you know, it's a new age and a new
Speaker 5: time with these players, you know, getting their brands out
Speaker 5: there and being all in the spotlight and all that
Speaker 5: good stuff.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: But something, you know, it resonated with me a little
Speaker 5: bit when you said, you know, twenty two weeks we
Speaker 5: need to lock in, we need to do this and that,
Speaker 5: you know. But at the same time, you know, after
Speaker 5: each game he's doing these podcasts and bringing up these
Speaker 5: bulletpoard materials, which is the extranists. You know, if you
Speaker 5: want to be locked in, be locked in. And you know,
Speaker 5: I think he's a leader as regards to his play
Speaker 5: on the field, Like if y'all want to be great,
Speaker 5: follow me, and he's done that. He's he's lifted up
Speaker 5: everybody else's game on that defense by just being out
Speaker 5: there on the football field. There's little things here and
Speaker 5: there that he may need to, you know, mature a
Speaker 5: little bit in But overall, I mean, you know, I
Speaker 5: think he's a young guy out there, you know, doing
Speaker 5: what he can to get this defense to the right position.
Speaker 5: I mean on the field, players outstanding. Off the field,
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit here and there, maybe needs
Speaker 5: to work on. But I'm not gonna say he's a
Speaker 5: bad leader. Overall, I just think he needs to mature
Speaker 5: a little bit and he will. I mean, he's a
Speaker 5: young player.
Speaker 2: And they didn't say bad, they just said he's not
Speaker 2: a leader. You're a star, but not a leader. I
Speaker 2: understand there are some people who felt that Tony Romo
Speaker 2: was a star, but he wasn't a leader. Okay, so
Speaker 2: this is not this is not something uncommon across sports
Speaker 2: where people will say, hey, star player, but that's not
Speaker 2: the guy that people are going to go follow. Troy
Speaker 2: Aikman was a great player, but people felt the heartbeat
Speaker 2: of the team was Michael Irvin. Not to say Troy
Speaker 2: wasn't leader, because we all know eight ball was. So
Speaker 2: what David Moore laid out was a case that said
Speaker 2: you're saying one thing, but you're doing another.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, being a leader, And I just go
Speaker 6: back to what you said, Barry, because I think a
Speaker 6: lot of that comes from the experience as a former player.
Speaker 6: You talk about the locker room, the bulletin board material
Speaker 6: and things that you just don't give your team that
Speaker 6: you're playing AMMO against you. And we're in a new age.
Speaker 6: These guys have podcasts, they have endorsement deals. They're all
Speaker 6: protecting their brand because those are the things that they
Speaker 6: that's not connected to the team. It's theirs and so look,
Speaker 6: it's the people that are the old guard. Now I
Speaker 6: call you old, but the old guard it just basically says, look,
Speaker 6: that's not what us football players do. We don't after
Speaker 6: a game. There's no interviews. You lock in for the
Speaker 6: week ahead. The one guy on this team that I
Speaker 6: am not worried about is number eleven, the Bazooka. I'm
Speaker 6: not worried about him. He has forty point five sacks
Speaker 6: in three season. I am not worried about him.
Speaker 4: I need hold on.
Speaker 6: I need everybody else to lock in on how you
Speaker 6: play with number eleven.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm not going to judge him on these OTAs.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say it.
Speaker 6: How many players have we had that have skipped OTAs
Speaker 6: and came in and had phenomenal seasons. Nobody's talking about
Speaker 6: that Week five, Week eight, Well, you know he missed
Speaker 6: voluntary training.
Speaker 3: You know, against San Francisco.
Speaker 6: Week five against San Francisco. Yeah, but this is what
Speaker 6: I'm saying to you, what I'm what I'm saying to
Speaker 6: you is.
Speaker 4: That's the one guy. That's the one guy.
Speaker 6: That I'm not worried about, because I need these other
Speaker 6: ten guys to support number eleven and make it where
Speaker 6: you can't double team this guy. If you're double team
Speaker 6: in on one side, Sam Williams, I need you to
Speaker 6: beat I need you to beat your guy.
Speaker 2: I'll come back to you and simply say, this is
Speaker 2: the way we're talking about Dak rightfully so and not
Speaker 2: performing against San Francisco and not performing against Green.
Speaker 3: Bay in the playoffs, we can say the same thing
Speaker 3: about number eleven.
Speaker 4: Where were you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And when we want to people want to throw out
Speaker 2: the Lawrence Tailor comparisons and brother, where are you at?
Speaker 3: Because legitimate he is right?
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to look Dak Prescott legitimately criticized for
Speaker 2: what happened to playoffs. Micah should be as well. Where
Speaker 2: were you? Certainly not TJ Whiten It out there. You
Speaker 2: know when you want to compare yourself to these other
Speaker 2: dudes who actually have Defensive Player of the aarwards and
Speaker 2: you don't you leave yourself open. Heckma is what what
Speaker 2: mister Moore is saying. When you decide you want to
Speaker 2: do these things, you leave yourself open.
Speaker 4: I get it, and look and Barry, I guess.
Speaker 6: My My question to you is, as who has played you,
Speaker 6: yourself playing with dogs and guys in this league that
Speaker 6: have played at a high level. You know what this
Speaker 6: guy is gonna bring each and every week. But you
Speaker 6: also know that these offensive coordinators have schemed up. You're
Speaker 6: on one side of the ball. We've seen what you
Speaker 6: guys are doing. We're gonna scheme up for you. We're
Speaker 6: gonna run directly at you. We're no, this is this
Speaker 6: is what you're going to do. That's a whole different look.
Speaker 6: Let's go into the body type. Let's go into the
Speaker 6: type of defense that they play. Let's go let's go
Speaker 6: into all that are you built for that. We've been
Speaker 6: talking about this guy at defensive end versus linebackers since
Speaker 6: he's been in the league, So it's not exploratory to say, oh,
Speaker 6: when you say t J. Watt or the guy in Cleveland.
Speaker 6: These are these are true three four defensive ends. Chris Jones,
Speaker 6: come on, now, come on you are you just wave
Speaker 6: so Chris Jones and Kansas City, Well, I'm not. I'm
Speaker 6: talking about a defensive end. And Michael Parsons, who is signific.
Speaker 6: He is an edge rusher. He and what he was
Speaker 6: last season was almost like a one trick pony where
Speaker 6: you put him out there on the edge and said, look,
Speaker 6: get after the quarterback.
Speaker 4: What did San Francisco do Differently? They ran right at him.
Speaker 3: What Yoda said, do it?
Speaker 8: Do not?
Speaker 3: There is no try this.
Speaker 6: Said Yoda ain't never put on no helmet and got
Speaker 6: out there and did what Michael's doing. So you're not
Speaker 6: gonna tell me that Michael slipping when he's got forty
Speaker 6: point five. And also, by the way, there's only one
Speaker 6: other guy by the name of White that's done what
Speaker 6: this guy is doing. So in comparison to say that
Speaker 6: he's not a leader is off base. You need to
Speaker 6: find somebody else to talk about, because this guy right here,
Speaker 6: he that him, He is.
Speaker 4: That guy him, He is that guy.
Speaker 3: Packers didn't think so.
Speaker 4: But about to say, but the new he's put that.
Speaker 3: He against San Francisco has always shown up in the.
Speaker 4: Playoffs, his hit.
Speaker 3: The criticism of Dak Prescott is legitimate.
Speaker 4: But you can but you don't put any of the guys.
Speaker 2: You can also put it on Michael Parsons if you
Speaker 2: want to talk about I'm defensive player of the year
Speaker 2: on this, on that.
Speaker 3: Where were you in the biggest game games? Lawrence Taylor
Speaker 3: was always here in the biggest games.
Speaker 2: T J Watt being there, He's out there winning awards,
Speaker 2: getting there.
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett is too. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: If you want to say I'm this, I'm that he is,
Speaker 2: then I need to see this.
Speaker 3: When it counts.
Speaker 2: At moments, it is Connor McDavid for Evanson Oiles, is
Speaker 2: that getting done, it's Luka Donches's Kyrie Irvy getting it done.
Speaker 4: You get.
Speaker 6: So basically, what you're saying about micaeh is that he's
Speaker 6: being perceived as his superstar in the league, but when
Speaker 6: the moments are big as he disappears.
Speaker 3: Right now, when I look at the playoffs.
Speaker 2: He wasn't where. He wasn't the player he needed to be.
Speaker 2: The quarterback wasn't the player he needed to be.
Speaker 4: On the other.
Speaker 6: Guys that wasn't the players that they needed to be.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. You got more guys out there
Speaker 6: on the field that didn't play either.
Speaker 3: You ain't about to They're not about to break the bank,
Speaker 3: are they.
Speaker 4: Okay? All right, Okay, that's true. I mean, okay, get
Speaker 4: you know they are. That's support. I mean, where's Tito,
Speaker 4: where's you? You know, we beat up on.
Speaker 3: Marty? Marty.
Speaker 4: That's what we're paying the seam. Okay.
Speaker 2: So what we're talking about, we're talking about is the
Speaker 2: best players. Okay, when you want to win these ships,
Speaker 2: you need your best players. Absolutely, Like Patrick Mahomes in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Hey man, get it there, Chris Jones.
Speaker 2: You can't see the go ahead and get it done.
Speaker 2: The quarterback, the wide receiver, and the defensive end. Your
Speaker 2: star players did not get it done against Green Bay.
Speaker 2: They did not get it done against San Francisco. Those
Speaker 2: are legitimate things. And as I'm covering the Mavericks right now,
Speaker 2: all I can see here and say is I saw Kyrie,
Speaker 2: I saw Luca go do their thing.
Speaker 4: That's everything else.
Speaker 2: When I covered the Rangers, I saw Corey Seger go
Speaker 2: out there and go get his thing done. I saw
Speaker 2: native Valdi goes, you need your best players, especially when
Speaker 2: I'm about to write you a check as big as
Speaker 2: anything I need you to get.
Speaker 6: I like what you said there, because even in putting
Speaker 6: it in a basketball analogy, now with the Mavericks going
Speaker 6: up against Boston, who has one of the top rosters
Speaker 6: in the NBA, what are you going to get from
Speaker 6: guys like Lively? Where are you going to get from
Speaker 6: these other guys, these role players that now can't just
Speaker 6: just separate themselves and go quietly into this. They got
Speaker 6: to play. And so guys like Tank, Lawrence, Dron Bland, Uh,
Speaker 6: Stephan Gilmour, those You had a lot of guys that
Speaker 6: let you down in that game. It wasn't just shikhs.
Speaker 6: So that's what I'm saying. So when you go back
Speaker 6: and you point to that, don't discount the fact that
Speaker 6: this guy has forty point five sacks thirteen last season
Speaker 6: and was, oh, come on, man was on a tear
Speaker 6: in a place pace to be the defensive MVP of
Speaker 6: the league.
Speaker 5: But when they win, do we say, you know, Adron
Speaker 5: Bland had a you know, even though Parsons had eight sacks,
Speaker 5: Dron Bland did this thing too or were we all
Speaker 5: saying Buffalo.
Speaker 4: All right, I mean, you're right, well, you're right, you're.
Speaker 2: Right that the criticism against the Cowboys was what were
Speaker 2: you doing against these teams who could run the ball
Speaker 2: on you and who were good?
Speaker 4: Yeah, where did you put your starts up?
Speaker 2: That was that was said for the quarterback, I mean
Speaker 2: the whole the whole outfit.
Speaker 6: And that's where the that's where a whole argument about
Speaker 6: playing him at linebacker versus defensive end comes into play,
Speaker 6: because that's the way the teams have schemed it up
Speaker 6: versus Michael and he has to be tougher to that
Speaker 6: degree this season more than ever.
Speaker 2: We're not doubting his talent. We're not doubting he is
Speaker 2: one of the great players in the league. What we
Speaker 2: are saying is, hey, man, when these playoff games are here,
Speaker 2: when these big games are here right now, you're not
Speaker 2: coming up with enough, and you have to come up
Speaker 2: with more, because that's what the great ones do. And
Speaker 2: I am one of those who refuses to even think
Speaker 2: and talk about him in the class of Lawrence Taylor
Speaker 2: because I just think Lawrence Taylor's out there. Okay, When
Speaker 2: I think about the best defensive players in the game.
