There's a lot coming up 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: here that the cow Boys are gonna have to make 16 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: decisions on. Free agency will begin on March fifteenth. Although 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: the period of I'm not gonna call it legal tampering, 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: it's just kind of that period where you can start 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: flirting a little bit with the players that you might 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: be interested in from a free agency standpoint. That begins 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: on the thirteenth. It'll run through the fifteenth, and then 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: at three pm Central Time, Free Agency will kick off 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: today's show. We're going to go through the list of 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: free agents and talk a little bit about the guys 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: that we think the Cowboys need to make priorities, the 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: guys that can just be a nice to have, and 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: the guys that maybe you think is just no longer 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: a fit. Before we do that, though, I want to 29 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: talk about Tony Pollard. We talked about him at length 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: last week and what the Cowboys should do. Since then, 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: we've found out they have done something. They put the 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: tag on Tony Pollard. I don't think it's a surprise, 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: but I wanted to go around the table and just 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the decision to place the tag 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: on Tony Pollard. Brian, you weren't where you want on 36 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the show last week. I was in Arizona. Watch it 37 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: on the show. Yeah, Yeah, let's give you. Let's go 38 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: first with you, because I know Nick and Amber talked 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about it lesson. Yeah, you know what, 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: I feel like they did what they had to do 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: and what they felt like was right for their for 42 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: their offensive attack going forward. You know, we talked about weapons. 43 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: Nick has brought it up numerous times on the show 44 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: about the situation with Pollard. Once he went down in 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: the San Francisco game, their offense wasn't the same. And 46 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: so now even with a new you know, primary play caller, 47 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: the head coach being that guy, you know, you got 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: to you know, uh, you got that situation where he's 49 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: like thinking, Okay, how am I going to incorporate, how 50 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: am I going to move the ball? What do I need? 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: You know, likely losing Dalton Scholtz likely, you know, with 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: some of the things you some of the unknowns with 53 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, with Gallup coming back and all that, one 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: of the sure things you do know about is what 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: Tony Poller can do. Yes, he's coming off the injury. 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: But I think it was the right thing for them 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: to do. I know, I have my own other thoughts about, 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: you know, maybe with the injury, maybe let that one 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: ride and see if in fact somebody would come in 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: and and you know, take a chance on him, give 61 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: him a contract. But for them, they did what they 62 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: felt like was right. I just I know myself evaluating 63 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: the free agent market or the running backs and then 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: also what's going in the college trap. If you were 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: to lose Tony Pollard, there are suitable replacements you know, 66 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe comparable to what you have with Tony. 67 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: You know, maybe not, depending on which direction you go. 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: But for them, they felt like they had to keep 69 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: that weapon in the building, and you know, you have 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: to give them credit for you know, trying to do 71 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: that and be able to you know, to continue to 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: try and help dak Age. I think it was the 73 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: right decision, and we've talked about it before. It doesn't 74 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: prevent them from still trying to come up with the 75 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: contract and keep the negotiation negotiations going with him and 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: working that out. Um, yeah, we've talked about the injury before. 77 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: That is a concern of mine. And another thing is 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: it always makes me a little bit uneasy because I 79 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: feel like anytime you either extend the contract given you 80 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: contract or even place attack anything that involves a new 81 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: amount of money involving a player, there's always that are 82 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: they gonna meet the expectations now? And I know this 83 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: is not the franchise tag does not mean a long 84 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: term contract or anything. This is just for a year. 85 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: But even so, with that injury alone, it does give 86 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: me that kind of worrisome. It's like, is it gonna 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: be worth the money? Is it gonna be worth taking 88 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: that risk of having him here and trying to rely 89 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: on him, also not knowing what's gonna end up happening 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: with Ezekiel, elliott I said this from the beginning. It's 91 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: hard to imagine a scenario where they do keep both 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: guys on the team. So it's just I'm glad it happened, 93 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: and I agree with their decision to place the tag 94 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: on him, but at the same time, there are concerns 95 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: and worries around that decision and how he's gonna be 96 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I mean, I think I don't think 97 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: you give the franchise tag to anybody unless you have 98 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: some concerns. I mean, I think I think you have. 99 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: I think that's why you give them the tag. I 100 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: mean because you have concerns, Because if you didn't have concerns, 101 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: you would just sign them to a long term deal 102 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: and meet whatever they're asking for. So either you need 103 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: to see them one more year or you got it, 104 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: or you don't know if you can sign them to 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: a long term thing. I mean, I think the Cowboys 106 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: had concerns with Dalton Schultz last year to give him 107 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: the money that you know, David and a Joku got, 108 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know if it's worth it, 109 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, And I don't think they thought it's worth it, 110 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: and they still don't think that, you know, for that market. 111 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: But if you look at all the franchise tags, it's 112 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: the cheapest franchise tag of a position player running back. 113 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: It's the most second most important position maybe, but yet 114 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: it's the cheapest one. So there's reason, and you can 115 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: take that argument anyway you want. I just think it 116 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: makes sense this year to do that, and then, as 117 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: Brian says, you still draft someone. But the key about 118 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: drafting and running back is if you go back and 119 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: look at history, and there's examples for everything. First round 120 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: running backs I think do well early because that's why 121 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: you draft them, because they're ready to play right now. 122 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: But I think second, third, fourth, fifth round running backs 123 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: some of them come come in and do well, but 124 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I think that they needed little development as well. I mean, 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard wasn't ready to kind of take over like 126 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: he is now. So I think I think it works 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: out in this case. You still draft some one, second, third, 128 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: fourth round and then you know, they'll be ready to 129 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: go because you don't know what's going to happen with 130 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: Pollard after this, probably won't come back after this. This 131 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: is what I would think would be the last year. Yeah, 132 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: this is me. I totally agree with what Nick and 133 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Ambar are saying about this. But the thing is that 134 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: with Pollard I kind of look at this like Dalton Schultz, 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: like you're keeping a guy around. They you know, they 136 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: just couldn't get rid of all their weapons when they 137 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: got rid of a Maori Cooper, and we didn't know 138 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: what with Pollard that he was going to emerge like 139 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: he was. There was questions about Gallup. You know, if 140 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: you all of a sudden you let Dalton Schultz walk 141 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: last year and stuff, or just you know, you move 142 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: on from that, well, then you know, it's one of 143 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: those situations where you're kind of in a you know, 144 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: you're like, where's the weapons, who's da going to throw 145 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: the ball to, Who's how they're going to move the ball, 146 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: how they're going to score and all that. So yeah, 147 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: I just think that Pollard it's one of those things 148 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: that you know, I don't think they want to I 149 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: think they've learned something from the Elliott situation. I do 150 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: the league. The league doesn't value running backs like it should. 151 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a point in time where you 152 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: know you're gonna have if when you don't have one 153 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: of these guys, it's going to show up in a game. 154 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: You know. Look what Tampa Bay look at their situation 155 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: with Leonard Fournette. It's just he had a similt thing 156 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: about Buffalo. Yeah, it just got to the point where 157 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: when you can't run the ball, you know your your 158 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: offense gets put in peril. And the one thing we 159 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: learned about Pollard is he's capable of taking the snaps 160 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: and being able to function. But I do love this 161 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: these running backs, And again I encourage you to stay 162 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: afterwards and listen to the Draft show because there's a 163 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: lot of them you could talk about, and a lot 164 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: of them that does a lot of the similar things 165 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: that they asked Tony Pollard to do. So let's toss 166 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: that up just as a general question of what comes next, 167 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: because there are lots of offshoots of this move. You know, 168 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: do they do a long term deal with him, Um, 169 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: what's Zeke's future and how does that play into the 170 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: decision to tag Tony Pollard right now. I saw a 171 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: graphic that I think the Cowboys or eight million dollars 172 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollars right now dedicated to the running 173 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: back position. I don't think any of us believes are 174 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: going to go into next fiscal year with that being 175 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: the case. But it now put some question marks on 176 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: Zeke's future, talking about what is the effect on the 177 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: draft and should they draft somebody and how high are 178 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: they willing to draft somebody knowing that they have Tony 179 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Pollard on the tag? And the final thought, what's the 180 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: usage of Tony Pollard next year? If let's assume for 181 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: a second that this does affect what they decide to 182 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: do with with Zeke, and maybe Zeke isn't here. Is 183 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: Pollard a primary bat? Can he take the load of 184 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: a primary back? He can he do the things that 185 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: Zeke was asked to do for a long time his career. 186 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: When you're paying him ten million dollars for a year, 187 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: maybe he needs to all those things. I'm just gonna 188 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: toss it up and you guys take it in the 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: direction you'd like to take it. Wow Zeke, I mean, 190 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: that's the big question, and they got to figure that 191 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: out was Zeke, And I think that me personally, I 192 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: just don't see a scenario that he's here. I don't, 193 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: but I don't know him, what he's trying to do, 194 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: and how much he wants to be here and for 195 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: what price. But I just I can't see that scenario. 196 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: This is a really tricky situation because I don't think 197 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is a starting running back. I don't. I 198 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: think he works out the way they have got this 199 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: thing working. I think it works good for him. So 200 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: I would draft another running back, and I think that 201 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: running back would probably be the starter. I think where 202 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: Pollard fits. But you want to say ten million dollars? 203 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: Could you do that? Yeah? You can look how many 204 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: Look at what backup quarterbacks make. They make a lot 205 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: of money, so you can have it as in this 206 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: role like this. But I think I just don't think 207 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: Zeke can be here on this team the way the 208 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: way it's set up. I could be wrong, but that's 209 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: gonna because he's taking a lot less money than I 210 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: think he's ready to do. Explain it to me for 211 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: just a second. When you say you don't think he's 212 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: a starter, are you saying are you talking more about 213 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: the number of reps that he can take, or do 214 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: you or is there a delineation between a starter and 215 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: a backup that you're kind of making No. I think 216 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: he's I mean, I think he's one of the top 217 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: ten fifteen running backs in the league. I think he's 218 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: a he's a he's a top talent. He's definitely that. 219 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: But I like, I mean, I believe in what Skip 220 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: Pete was trying to do last year. I think that 221 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: there's a Zeke comes in and he kind of hammers 222 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: them down, and then Pollard comes in. I don't think 223 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: it works the other way. I don't think that way. 224 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: I don't saying you don't think it starts with the 225 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: speed guy or the lusive guy. You think Pollard's role 226 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: is perfect go and I just there needs to be 227 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: another guy that handles what Zeke did. That's what I think. 228 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: I think there's some football fibbing going on here, not 229 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: with you, but with what the Cowboys are doing right now. 230 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: I think they're talking about the football fibbing. Is Mike 231 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy's like, we got to run the ball more. I 232 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: think that's football fibbing. And I say that in a way, 233 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy doesn't have a history of running the football more. 234 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: He just doesn't go back and watch, you know, he's 235 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: I think he's trying to. I think he's trying to 236 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: say that, you know, I'd like to run the ball, 237 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: but he really isn't. He's going to throw the ball. 238 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: So now to me, that that that is that I'm 239 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: okay with that. I feel like, though, you need to 240 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: run the ball better, not more, run the ball better. 241 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of where I think football fibbing's 242 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: going on here. And you know, with Pollard, I think 243 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: he can run the ball better. I think the more 244 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: opportunities he does get, they'll run the ball better. I 245 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: think having Terrence steal Back at right tackle will will 246 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: run the ball better. You know. I think if you 247 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: add a tight end, a blocking tight end, with the 248 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: tight ends you have, I think you'll run the ball better. 249 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: You know. That's that's kind of where I look at 250 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: with with what I see with Pollard. I think he's 251 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: here to run the ball better. You know, the more 252 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: carries it, just the way he plays, you're going to 253 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: get more yards with him running the football. And so 254 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a football fib you just 255 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: need to not run it more. You just need to 256 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: run it better, is what I see. Right. They asked 257 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: this question because I've heard a couple of different people 258 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: with that particular argument, and I think it's coming off 259 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: of what Mike McCarthy said at the combine. I actually 260 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: took it differently when he said that. I didn't take 261 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: it as he was saying the Cowboys need to just 262 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: generally run the ball more. I thought he was talking 263 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: more about specific situations and I thought back the Green 264 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: Bay game. Yeah, I thought back specific games where his 265 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: relationship where the Cowboys. I think he might have looked 266 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: at it and said, hey, I think there were situations 267 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: this year right where we should have been running the 268 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: ball more than we were, not necessarily just overall, we 269 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: need to run more because by the way, they ran 270 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: the ball plenty, like they're one of the one of 271 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: the run heavier teams in the NFL. So I didn't 272 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: take it that way. Is that are you saying? You 273 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: took it kind of as he's saying, just holistically, we 274 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: got to run the ball more than I think. I 275 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: think to me that he was the divide I think 276 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: between him and Kellen Moore caming that day you guys 277 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: were at lambeau Field and they lost that game. That's 278 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: where I felt like right then and there, if you 279 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: want to pinpoint a spot where maybe McCarthy and Kellen 280 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Moore had their divide, it was that game right there, 281 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: because Mike McCarthy put his heart and soul into wanting 282 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: to win that football game and it didn't happen. And 283 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: and we the next day we came on here and 284 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: talked about, well, they could have done this. It could 285 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: have ran it here. They could have you know, they 286 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: could protected the lead. Dada da da da. I think 287 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: that's where we saw the end of Kellen Moore and 288 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's relationship, right And that could fit with Mike. 289 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: And that's the xampoint. If you want to try to 290 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: run up the scoreboard, when that's your point, be running 291 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: the ball, that's your point. I I, like I said, 292 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a I think that's a fib. I 293 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: think he wants to run the ball better, is what 294 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: I how I take it. And I also the whole 295 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: thing with like Nick talking about I think it's a 296 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: fib about Zeke being here. I think that's a fib. 297 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: I think that's a football fib I don't think there's 298 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: any way that he that he can be here, you know, 299 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: I think that they move on. They talk about, well, 300 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: they'd like to have it, but I see this. I'd 301 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: see this ending like it did for DeMarcus Ware and 302 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: for ter Arrol Owens and for uh, you know, for 303 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, pretty much everybody. Yeah, there's an express being 304 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: a player in the NFL. They talk about wanting to 305 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: keep guys and stuff like that, but they're going I 306 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: agree with Nick, I believe they're going to move on 307 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: from Zeke. I really really do. I think these are 308 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: these are things that you kind of look at and 309 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: you say, well, they're they're telling us this, but in actuality, 310 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: this I think is what's going to happen. Yeah. I 311 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: love I absolutely love Zeke, and I would personally like 312 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: for him to stay here. But again, I just like 313 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: all of you guys, I don't see a scenario where 314 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: he just works out financially for the Cowboys. UM. I 315 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: do know that regardless of how much you want to 316 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: throw the ball or not, you do need to establish 317 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: the run. You need to create that balance. And we've 318 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: we've seen it before when Dakney's that kind of help 319 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: as well. And going back to Tony Paul or whether 320 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: he can be the starter or not. I agree with 321 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Nick on this one, like I personally only do not 322 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: see him just taking on the full load. And we 323 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: saw it just how well it worked, kind of bouncing 324 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it out between the two types of running back just 325 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: because of what each brings to the table and that 326 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: the other cannot doesn't necessarily do it as good. We 327 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: saw how many times like you needed Zeke to be 328 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: able to just go out there and block and block, 329 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: just those like nasty little runs, one yard runs things 330 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: like that that Tony Polar just physically doesn't have that 331 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: type of ability and and just like that, they can't 332 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: run and escape the way that Polar can right now. 333 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: So it's just a tough balance. But I do think 334 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: that they go into the draft. It does make me 335 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: wonder though, if they head into the draft just having 336 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: Tony Polar and Malick Davis, or if they just kind 337 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: of sign somebody else to have them there. You know 338 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: how sometimes they just sign get to make it look 339 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: like it's not like a top priority, and then they 340 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: do still draft somebody. So I can see something happening, 341 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: maybe like a signing somebody that's not necessarily go trade 342 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry if you want from Tennessee. No, I'm 343 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: not gonna. I'm not gonna talk about him away from that, 344 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: but um only talk about our guys, Brian, Okay until 345 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: free agency opens up and then you it's a trade 346 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: from that one. And just to be clear, this is 347 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: like we are not the football side of them. I'm sorry, 348 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: just conjectur, just talk. We're not tampering. No, we're not tampering. 349 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: Not tampering it tampering. I did have this question because 350 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: you guys mentioned this, Nick you mentioned as well, Amber 351 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: mentioned it about the running backs and him being kind 352 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: of that starting role. Did you think in the game 353 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: where it was him and Malik Davis that things functioned 354 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: as you wanted them to function at and and at 355 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: optimal level for Tony when he had I mean, Mollie 356 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: Davis was another back, Tony was the starter, Tony was 357 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: the guy that was the primary back. Did you think 358 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: did you like that or did you think there was 359 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: still something missing in that game? Well, the victory was 360 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: missing in that game. I mean that they lost and 361 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: they lost and not necessarily think it was because the Pollard. 362 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: But but I think it's all about running the ball 363 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: when you when you want to, and running the ball 364 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: when you have to, and when you have to run 365 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: the ball at the end of the game and you 366 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: can't get that. Um. You know, I do think that 367 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: that there's part of that UM Like like Amber said 368 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: that they they complimented each other perfectly. I mean some 369 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: Zeke scored twelve touchdowns and most of them down there 370 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: by the goal line, and so I don't think Pollard 371 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: gets twelve more touchdowns if he's the guy doing it. 372 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: He just doesn't. I mean, go look at the Washington games. 373 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: He doesn't run against that. Um. Not that many teams do, 374 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: but I mean that they're not built that way. He's 375 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: not built that way. He needs another back and so 376 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: that somebody else needs to compliment him, and it just 377 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: needs to be at some something less than sixteen million 378 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: a year. But um, I just I just feel like 379 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: the role that Pollard has, I wouldn't change it. I 380 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't change it by running him. I mean he needs 381 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: to maybe run the ball more, but not necessarily to 382 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: the point of he's the starter. He gets the first 383 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: two series and then we'll see what happens. I think 384 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: that they got to be creative with it and doing 385 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: it every week, because I remember there were staying games 386 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, I've seen Pollard. I'm like, I 387 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: can't remember exactly why game. We're like you have. Maybe 388 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Zeke wasn't playing the whole game. I don't know if 389 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: it was just a couple of games. Yeah, but I 390 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: remember being like, Okay, it wasn't terrible, but I don't 391 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: feel confident that Polar can do this week to week. 392 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: So it's just one of those things that he's a 393 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: talented guy, but I think he would reduce the spark 394 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: that he has if he had to. Kind of He 395 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: surely didn't. He surely didn't do it against the Commanders. 396 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: You know that game the two worst rushing games he 397 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: had at the season. We're against the Commanders, and if 398 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: you want to use that as your benchmark, the Commanders 399 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: played great run defense. As I say, it's not a 400 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: lot of runners that are. So that's that's what I'm saying. Though, 401 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: if you're if you're trying to say, well, listen, where 402 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: where was he productive against? Who was he productive? What 403 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: style of defense was he productive? Against and to your point, 404 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: a defense that has a lot of physicality to it 405 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: might not be the best thing for Tony Pollard to 406 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: have to deal with, you know, so they need to 407 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: think about other options there for sure. Yeah, the game 408 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: I was talking about was that Green Bay game. He 409 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: had twenty two carries for one hundred and fifteen yards 410 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Malique Davis supplemented that with five carriages 411 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: or thirty eight yards or seven point six average. So again, 412 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't the same balance as what you saw between 413 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: him and Zeke. It was more, Hey, we're putting the 414 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: load on Tony. We'll let him get spelled by by 415 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: Malique Davis. And to your point, Amber, maybe he can. 416 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: Maybe he can't be a guy that can sustain that 417 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: for an entire seventeen game. See, I mean they didn't 418 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: lose that game because of that. They made one stop 419 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 1: on fourth or nine. Not only did they win, they 420 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: blow him out. So that's just kind of the way 421 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: that game. But but but you also can look at it. 422 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, it's all right, you have a lead, 423 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: you know that there's ways where you can kind of 424 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: run the ball, and that's just and that you're right 425 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: that might be the game that he's looking at it. 426 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: If you if you asked me, if you said, Brian, 427 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: pinpoint a spot where you think there it was the 428 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: divide between the two that was the one I would 429 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: point to. And quite frankly, I think that's a fair thing. 430 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: And that's again why I assumed when when That's why 431 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: I assumed when when Mike McCartney said that that he 432 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: was talking specifically about games or moments in games more 433 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: so than the full totality of running the ball throughout 434 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: the season. We're gonna take our first break and we 435 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna jump into free agency. I'm gonna 436 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: run down this list of free agents. These guys are 437 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: gonna tell you whether they think they should be here 438 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: or shouldn't be here. We'll do that when we come 439 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: right back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Presumably not presumably we know they 495 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: will be because the Cowboys have used attack on Tony Pollitt, 496 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: which means all these other guys will have the ability 497 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: to hit free agency unless the Cowboys do a deal 498 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: with them before free agency begins. So we're gonna go 499 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: down the list. I got three options for you, guys. 500 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: I want you to give me one of these for 501 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: each player. Is he a priority you think the cow 502 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking from your perspective, not necessarily how you 503 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: think the cow Alays play it, but from your perspective, 504 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: is it a priority guy you need to resign. Is 505 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: it a guy that's a nice to have if you 506 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: can make the deal work, then go for it. Or 507 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: is it a guy that's no longer a fit you're 508 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: good with just moving on? All right, let's start first 509 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: with Dalton Schultz. I mean, I'm gonna have a hard 510 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: time saying anybody's a priority. So I don't know if 511 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I'll say that number one level for anybody nice to have? Yeah, 512 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: nice to have. I'm not gonna I wouldn't push anybody 513 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: out the door because Layton vander Esho proved that last 514 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: year that you know, you think so you think that's 515 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: what his market is, or he thinks it that's his market, 516 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: and then it comes back and it's not. And then 517 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: you're like, well, you know, here's a guy that that 518 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: trust and he can you know, he's gonna throw the 519 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: ball to him and he'll catch it and he's not 520 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of plays, but he'll make some. 521 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: So it'd be nice to have. But I mean, it 522 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: would only have to be week two of free agency 523 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: win his market, you know, and if that's the case, 524 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: he's going to be salty year. Or I kind of 525 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: feel like we Dalton Schultz seas in an interesting situation 526 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: because he's a good player, but a really good tight 527 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: end draft And so to Nick's point, do you get 528 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: a great deal of money being on the market when 529 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: teams know that they could draft a tight end who 530 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: has a similar skill sets? I think you could go 531 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: through probably four rounds of draftable players and get the 532 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: guys that have similar sets. Athletes you know, play well, 533 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: flexed or outside, catch the ball, well, maybe not great blockers. 534 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: He kind of falls into that mode where people could go, 535 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: listen to get one of these guys in the fourth round, 536 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: or do I give Dalton Schultz ten twelve million dollars? 537 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: So to Nick's point, I mean, I could see somebody 538 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: coming in and you know, swooping in and grabbing him. 539 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: But I also feel like there's a lot of guys 540 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: that have very similar skill sets to him in this draft. 541 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: Would he come back on a one year kind of 542 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: a thing? I think that's probably unrealistic, but it's an 543 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: interesting thought. I'm not really really guy in last year's 544 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: draft in the fourth round and see if that could 545 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: work out like a Ferguson. Yeah, well go ahead, Yeah, no, 546 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say, like I think it 547 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: to me personally changed the situation on how I view him. 548 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's still a time to player, but knowing 549 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: that you got two guys Hender Shot and then Ferguson, 550 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: and they both did pretty well. Honestly they I guess 551 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: maybe my expectations were a lot lower and they just 552 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: ended up playing better than I thought. But knowing that 553 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: you had two guys that were able to get the 554 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: job done as well and be even at times, I 555 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: guess it was the whole time when it was Cooper 556 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: Rush Schultz just completely disappear and you wearing really the 557 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: ball wasn't getting to him. But anyway, my point is 558 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: that I feel that the Cowboys can make it work 559 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: without him now. So that's that's where it's at right now. 560 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: It's not like you got nobody behind him that you're 561 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: just have a bunch of question marks. You still have 562 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: two guys, and that doesn't mean you wouldn't draft somebody too, 563 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just don't see it as a priority. 564 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: I think it was very telling. This was not a 565 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: football fib. I don't think the owner and general manager 566 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: told you know, he started talking about Kelsey in Kansas 567 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: city and that having that kind of weapon, and when 568 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: you got a guy that, you know, maybe they didn't 569 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: think that of Dalton Schultz, you know, they feel like that. 570 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: You know what, Yeah, it's a great it's great when 571 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: you can get a guy with this Kelsey guy, you know, 572 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: and stretch the field and do this and do that 573 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: and be dynamic, you know it. His thoughts, obviously from 574 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: the front office perspective, is that Dalton Schultz wasn't that guy. 575 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: You know. They to Nick's point again about the you 576 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: know that you see in a year, you see in 577 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: a year what you have, and you know, they probably 578 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: look at that and it's like, you know what, we've 579 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: got two young guys. We'll move on from this guy, 580 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: and we got a whole draft that we can we 581 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: can work with. All right. Yeah, I wouldn't move on 582 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: from Schultz because of Ferguson, but I would because of 583 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: Ferguson and Hendershot. Hendershot's to come there. He's the one 584 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: that's the wild card that you didn't expect, and you know, 585 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: he can move on and Ferguson's gonna be franchise. They 586 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: might have a chump point. I mean, just look at 587 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: the franchise tag. The last four years, it's been a 588 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: fourth round pick every year, so so it's just coming 589 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: that's in his future. Yea. They might be in a 590 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: situation too, where they were the at twenty six. The 591 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: best player on their board might be one of these 592 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: tight ends, which is you know, it's people cringe to 593 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: think about, but it might be to the vision to 594 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: what the general manager was saying on that bus the 595 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: other day, Yeah, that's the point for me. If you're 596 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna use that high a pick, you better make sure 597 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: he's the Kelsey type. Well, he can't be, in my opinion, 598 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: the Dalton Schultz type. He's got to get on the field. 599 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: He's got to be a guy that immediately gets on 600 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: the field, right, But he also has to be a 601 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: guy in my opinion, that you can move around and 602 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: do different things with that becomes a nightmare for other 603 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: teams to match up with. That's where it's worth it 604 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: to make it a first round pick. The one thing 605 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: this team has proven their draft thoughts is they would 606 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: rather have the first or the second best at a 607 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: position than they would the fifth or sixth. You know, 608 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: when we say, oh, they need a corner, well do 609 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: they want the fifth corner or they want the second 610 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: best guard in the draft. You know that that's their 611 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: Their mode is we'll take the first best, we'll take 612 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: the best player, and then we'll work from there. And 613 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: it works for them. All right, Let's move on to 614 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: Terrence Terrence Steele Nick, Well, um, I think they're gonna 615 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean that one. I guess I would say, I 616 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him on your list. So yeah, I would 617 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: say that he's got to be a priority on that 618 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: because he's a restricted free agent. I would probably give 619 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: him the first round tender, but I don't know I would, 620 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think that I would, But they probably 621 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: feel like with the second round tender, you can you 622 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: can get get by with him. The gamble they have 623 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: here is if he was it hurt, you would probably 624 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: first round tender him because again, you know, when you 625 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: start to compare who's in the you know who's in 626 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: the draft, you know the tackle group, it's a it's 627 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: a it's not as deep as it's been the last 628 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: few years. But if he was, with him being injured 629 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: and coming off an injury, I could see why they 630 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: did the second round tender on him. I totally get 631 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: I think the priority is to get him done. I 632 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: don't think he's I don't think he's I don't think 633 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna play on the on the tender tag, I don't. 634 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna They're gonna try and find a 635 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: way to get this done. I would say, then in 636 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: that case, he's a priority for sure. Absolutely. Um. I 637 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: mean and even then, even by signing him and getting 638 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: something done with him, you still have other issues in 639 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: the old line, you know, even at the tackle position. 640 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: So uh, definitely get him back here. And he's a 641 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: guy that, honestly, he's done everything you've wanted him to do, 642 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: and maybe not at first in our perspective, but he's 643 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: worked so hard and he's improved over and over. You know, 644 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: he's trending upwards, and that's exactly what you look for 645 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: in a guy. I hope, I hope the growth continues 646 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: with the new line coach, because him and Joe Philban 647 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: clearly had a good connection, all right. Connor McGovern nice 648 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: to have. Yeah, I think they would like to have 649 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: him back, but I think he's a nice to have. 650 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a priority he's got. He's got 651 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: to see the market and I think his agent will 652 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: let that happen to you know, anybody that signs at 653 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: this point, he's gonna be. To be honest, he's going 654 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: to be this year's Connor Williams. He's gonna go to 655 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: Miami and get a starting job and get too much money, 656 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: and they're they're not going to be able to match that. Well. 657 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: The fact is, if if, if what they're saying about 658 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: Tyren Smith, if they want him back and they want 659 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: to have him in the building, if that's all true, 660 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern isn't even gonna be a starter. We wouldn't 661 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: think because you would assume that means dad Tyler Smith 662 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: will be playing guard. So maybe another sports football fib 663 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. You know, that's part of right 664 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: now that looked like you'd want him to. He had 665 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: some injuries, but he's just he's he's never gonna be 666 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: a guy when you're sitting there in the draft and 667 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, we could take this guy right now, 668 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: no one's gonna be like whoa, WHOA, whoa we have McGovern. 669 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: He's never gonna be that this guy that stopped you 670 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: are always gonna try to get it it's gonna I 671 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: see it as one of those situations that if it's 672 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: not McGovern, the Cowboys are still gonna get a free 673 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: agent kind of like that, but from somewhere else, and 674 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: maybe they get it cheaper that way. I don't know, 675 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: but I think it's just it's gonna be about it's 676 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: it's a thin draft at guard. He might get some play. 677 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: That's why I kind of feel the draft just because 678 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: the draft, I kind of feel like veteran guy that 679 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: could play center. Also, there there's gonna be a value. 680 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: That's why Cities this year's Connor Williams. You know, that's 681 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: why Cooper Rush. Well, there's a lot of silence here. 682 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: I thought that would be one that you guys would 683 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: be pretty to jump on. For other reasons. I would 684 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: make it a priority. I would. I would think I 685 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: was talking about um other stuff. No, I think he 686 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: know I would. I would. I'd bring him back. I think. 687 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean I would bring him back for you know, 688 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: if you can. I mean, because he's won games. He's 689 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: won games for you so he's probably got the best 690 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: record of pretty much any backup quarterback you know in 691 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: the league the last few years. So I can't imagine. 692 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: I mean, and I think he works well with Dak. 693 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: We talked about Dak having different voices, and he will 694 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: have a different voice in some regards. But I think 695 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: that that Cooper Rush is a guy that works well 696 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: with him and they know how to win games with him. 697 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: So I would I think he's a priority. I really do. 698 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: And I say this in a way because he came 699 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: in and was you know, you mentioned it, won the games. 700 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: You know, they they they had to adapt to him. 701 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: They adapted the offense, they did what they you know, 702 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: everything they needed to do. He kept him in the 703 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: sea every we were all doom and glooming, and he 704 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: won games. And so you're probably gonna battle the you know, 705 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers on him. You know, where does 706 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: that number come? But if you're if you're Cooper Rush, 707 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: you have a legitimate right to stand there and say 708 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: you need to pay me. You need to pay me 709 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: to be a backup here. I saved your damn season 710 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: last year, you know, And so I I think he 711 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: should be a priority because I don't know what the 712 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: alternative is here. The alternative probably is Will Greer could 713 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 1: be Will Greer, absolutely, but but I've seen Cooper Rush 714 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: win games, and I didn't believe that. But in this 715 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: in this system, and maybe a new system will be different, 716 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: but I would I would try and make him a 717 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: priority for for sure. Yeah. I've been here where I've 718 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: seen Brandon Weedon kill him more Castle Castle. Um, what's 719 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: that other guy's name be Nucci? Benda Nucci? But the 720 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: one that oh my Mark Sanchez. Uh yeah, So some point. 721 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: The point is I've been here where I've seen enough 722 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: backups not being able to do much when they needed to. 723 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: Just one that Okay, he became his harder, right, Okay, 724 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: point is stop it, um no, But now it feels 725 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: like when you do find somebody backup, you need to 726 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: hold on to that person because you haven't had much 727 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: success having like backups that can truly just be there 728 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: and help you out. And what happened this year so 729 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: games exactly, and so it just goes back to I 730 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: don't know what the money looks like, but if it 731 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: works out, absolutely all right, We're gonna take our our 732 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: final break. We'll come back and we got a couple 733 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: more offensive guys and we'll try to get over the 734 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: defensive side of the Babaldo when we come back Dallas 735 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com Radio.

I think 781 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: you didn't have any of those, but you good with 782 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: this one, like just saying just doesn't fit anymore. Well, 783 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: I don't know who his real sponsor was, and I 784 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: don't know if his sponsor is still here. I mean, 785 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if his Jason was a sponsor or, 786 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: Kellen was a sponsor or both. I don't know, but 787 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean he's had one and he's been for dak dassn't. 788 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just saying I think he's 789 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: probably still going to count the minimum. I can't imagine, 790 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: you know. And so Noel Brown is fine if he's 791 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: the fifth receiver. It's not okay if he's the second 792 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: or third, and you know, and for some reason, it 793 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: just kind of just pisses you off when it's third 794 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 1: and eight and he's over the middle and there's double 795 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: coverage or he's covered and they throw it and he 796 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: doesn't catch it, and you're like, even though he's made 797 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: some plays, You're just like, is that who you have 798 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: to You have to force him. You need you need 799 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Tilbert to grow up. Yeah, you need Jalen Tilbert. 800 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: You need to push Jalaln Tilbert out there and say listen, 801 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: sink or swim, here we go. We can't talk about 802 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: other teams right now. I can't talk. Okay, So I 803 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: had an idea, but I'm not going to talk about that. 804 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: I can assume which time I know where you're going 805 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: with because because they'll admit, they'll admit they messed up. 806 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: They'll admit this that they messed up. So anyway, but 807 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: think about that, Um, maybe it's something you can do. 808 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: Can talk about Odell being here. If O'Dell's going to 809 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: be here, well that to me, okay, real quick on 810 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: that one, and no, get through your list another day 811 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: on Hodel, another day on Ode because actually, you're right, 812 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: I do want to I do actually want to get 813 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: to that in a longer more we can dive into 814 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: that when we start talking about that, and next week 815 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: will be an appropriate running out of Wednesdays.

I mean it'll be in the middle 817 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: of and by the way, we still got all these 818 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: the composition stuff that we had. We got a lot 819 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: we got to do in the next seven. I don't 820 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: have much to say about that. It's the same as 821 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: you guys said, I got the memo. I did get 822 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: the memo. I did read the memo. I'm sorry, Thank you. 823 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: T Y Hilton. Listen to to seven every day on 824 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: the fan. We'll get that. T Why Hilton. He was 825 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: an interesting one because he came in. Yeah, and he 826 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: had some plays that were like whoa, Okay, but he's 827 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: an age and you know, as the season wore on, 828 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't know that you could say he was a 829 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: reliable regular contributor in that way. What do you think 830 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: about t Y Hilton. I'm moving on there again. You 831 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: get Turpin. I'm trying to figure out ways to develop 832 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: him a little bit better. There. T Y Hilton did 833 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: what exactly what she needed him to do. I mean 834 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: I thought he would come. He made some really good 835 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: early plays, helped you win a game too with some 836 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: long plays, drew some pass interference calls. But you know, 837 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: I've got guys like Turpin. You know, maybe maybe that 838 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore didn't want to use Turpin. Let's see if 839 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy will use him. Yeah, I don't know where 840 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: his t Y Hilton's mindset is. You know, he came 841 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: in and admitted that he waited until the season was 842 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 1: over for his kids to play sports and all that stuff, 843 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: his bank account a little. Yeah, so then he was like, Okay, 844 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: now I'm ready to help and I'll sign with this 845 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: team because you guys are have a good record and 846 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: all that. And it worked. He did a nice job 847 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: and he helped some of the young guys. But I 848 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: don't know, is he wanting to do training camp and 849 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Would I would probably move on. He's 850 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: probably gonna be a rental player for another team, you know. 851 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah at that same time of year. Yeah, I'm not 852 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: a fan of having guys can just sprinkle things here 853 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: and there. Occasionally those type of players like he worked 854 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: out last year towards the end of the season, that 855 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: you're struggling and okay, let's bring someone in and that 856 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: they can't help in certain situations, and at least if 857 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: they make one or two catches, that's gonna just take 858 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: the game too closer to where you win a game. 859 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: But for this point of the year, that's not the 860 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: type of guy I'm looking for. I need a guy 861 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: that can give me everything that I need, full one 862 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: hundred percent, not just twenty percent or ten percent. I think, 863 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: I think to me, I call those band aid players. 864 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: Most people don't wear band aids unless you're Derek Chiefs 865 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: from Missouri back in the day. Remember Nellie, Yeah, Nellie, 866 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: look at Brian. Most people don't do that. You put 867 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 1: a band aid on when you need a band aid, 868 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: just wear. I'm just a fare him, and so I 869 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: think when Nellie a band aid, if you can sign him, 870 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's a free agent. Probably Nellie. Did he 871 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: play football? I don't know, why would you did? I 872 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: think there's a movie he was in a movie? Yea, yeah, 873 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: that wasn't he in the Last Yard? I think it was? Yeah? Yeah, 874 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: I think he's in the long He made plays a player. 875 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: He wasn't Michael, you know, but he made some plays 876 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: for Adam. Sure, why not? All right, let's let's swept 877 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: to the deep inside the ball. And actually, this is 878 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: interesting because there are five names, and I know we 879 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of times that they're five names 880 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: here that you could make an argument that any one 881 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: of the fives, for whatever purposes you want, is an 882 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: important part of what the Cowboys did last year. So 883 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw the five names out there, and I 884 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: want you guys to run through them and tell me priority, 885 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: let him walk or nice to have Layton vander Esh 886 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, Jonathan Hankins, Carlos Watkins, and Anthony Brown. Okay, 887 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: everybody but Anthony Brown on matlist for me is a 888 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: like to have back kind of guy, not priority, just 889 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: like to have like to have back on those guys. 890 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: I would absolutely Donovan Wilson to me, and you could 891 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: talk to people in the organization. The coaching staff absolutely 892 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: loves Donovan Wilson. But we're paying you know, we're paying 893 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: two thousand and six prices for safeties here, you know, 894 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: so that I don't think that's gonna work out. I 895 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: think Donovan Wilson again a pretty deep safety draft. Will 896 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: see how if he could circle back, But I think 897 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: he's asking for a lot more than the Cowboys are 898 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 1: willing to pay, but I'd love to have him back. 899 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 1: He him. Everybody that you mentioned in that pocket of people, 900 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: with the exception of Anthony Brown, I was really wrong 901 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, the Brown you're putting him were like, 902 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: as we're gonna move, We're gonna Yeah, he was not 903 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: playing well and so I'm gonna try and get better 904 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: at corner there. I'm gonna try, especially with the injury. 905 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: Coming off the injury he's got. Um yeah, nice to 906 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: have for all of them. With Donovan Wilson, I have 907 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: to just go off of Dan Quinn and say, all right, 908 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: you did it with Jron Curse, you did it with 909 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. You're gonna have to do it again. This 910 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: is why we're paying you what we're paying you, and 911 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: you work your magic on another safety that you know 912 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: you have the vision for. Unless he unless he just 913 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: wants to play here, but he's gonna probably want more money. 914 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna want he wants a lot more money. The 915 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,280 Speaker 1: whispers coming out of Indianapolis is they're not even close 916 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: on this, and that's and that's fine. I mean, like 917 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 1: like you would probably just move on and let's say, 918 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: all right, you know, you've got Malie Cooker, You've got 919 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: Jayron Curse. You're gonna have to find some other safeties. 920 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: You got some other young safeties too, you like in 921 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: Mquamu and stuff like that. You know, I think you 922 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: move on there if it doesn't work. I'm interested to 923 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: see how the draft is split as far as like, 924 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: is it more on offense or defense or kind of 925 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: half and half you can get from on your safeties. 926 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: From the second round through the fifth round, there's probably 927 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: ten names, and there's in each position, whether it's a 928 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: strong safety or free safety. So it's a good pocket 929 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: from rounds two through say rounds five, where you can 930 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: grab a safety that has that has not somewhat maybe 931 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,760 Speaker 1: at the top more of a similar skill set to Wilson. 932 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: As you get down to the bottom, it's more guys 933 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 1: that cover is what you got into draft. So there's 934 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: a pocket of safeties. It's not like it's say, like 935 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: the guard group I think is really narrow to what 936 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: you can get. I think the safety stretches a little 937 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 1: bit more. If you want to let him walk question, 938 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: I know we have to end the show, but real quick, 939 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: you know how we always talk about how the Coweys 940 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: don't necessarily make splash in free agency and they typically 941 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 1: sign their own. But what a signing like Done and 942 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: Wilson would would you consider that, oh, they made a splash, 943 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: they will have the sounds like they may have to 944 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,760 Speaker 1: because of the amount of money he's asking. And quite frankly, 945 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 1: the part that I think should be considered a little 946 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: bit more with Donovan Wilson, to me, I don't even 947 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: look at him as just a safety outside of Micah. 948 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: Give me another defensive player that made more plays for 949 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: this defense last season, and I'm talking just a playmaker. 950 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: He's a guy that I think without him, you're not 951 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: just missing a safety, you're missing a guy who made plays. 952 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: And I don't know, do you have somebody that's gonna 953 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 1: fill in that role? Is jay Ron Kurs gonna fill 954 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: in that role of being a playmaker, not just a 955 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: good safety, but a playmaker. That's why I think Curs 956 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: should maybe think about him a little bit more as 957 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: it should there be a little more priority on trying 958 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: to get trying to sign him Curse. Curse was just 959 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,240 Speaker 1: so banged out, but he played through the wild card. 960 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: Here is is Marquise Bell That's the one that they've 961 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: kind of sneaky put him in situations to maybe that 962 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: he could be the Donovan Wilson guy. See, and I think, look, 963 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't want them to break the bank on Donovan Wilson. 964 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: Let's be clear. I'm not saying go out and pay him, 965 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 1: make him the highest paid safety. If that's what he's asking, 966 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 1: then hey, good, thank you for what you did. We'll 967 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: have to move on. All I'm saying is I would 968 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: really he's one of those guys I look at at 969 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: the upper end of I'd like to have back because 970 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: I think he provides so much from the standpoint of 971 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 1: a playmaker for this step, I would take him over. 972 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: If you said you were going to spend money on 973 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 1: the Guard, if you were going to spend money on 974 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern, I would say I would rather have Donovan 975 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: Wilson than Connor McGovern. And if you're talking about starters, yeah, 976 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: and with Layton real quick, I think it starts with Mica. 977 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: Like anything does. Figure out what you're gonna do there, 978 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,919 Speaker 1: if you're going to play him the way you still 979 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: play him where he does a little bit of both, 980 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: and maybe not who Mica well next year, but I'm 981 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: just saying, I'm talking about rush and the passer. If 982 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be more of a pass rusher, then 983 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: you really do need some linebackers here. So and I 984 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: would go that route. Hello Jabril Cox, and Hello Clark 985 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: and Hello. You know, I actually think too, there's there's 986 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: going to be, how a feeling there's going to be 987 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: more veteran linebackers available in free agency, and as a 988 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,359 Speaker 1: part of that, that may drive Layton's value down a bit. 989 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: You might be able to bring him back for a 990 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: number that his injury hatroll many options out there. He's 991 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: injury history. People might have had him off the board 992 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 1: when he came out. They still might feel the same way. 993 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: All Right, we appreciate you, guys, Jonas. We'll be back 994 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 1: next week. Free agency will start, man, we get into 995 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: the fun of the offseason. We'll do that next week. 996 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: Till then, for Nick even Brian brought us an Amber Garcia. 997 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm Derek Hieltson.
