Speaker 4: I'll be waiting on you guys right here, yep, right here, yep.
Speaker 3: So how you doing, Savannah?
Speaker 7: Great good?
Speaker 3: And you watched Combine this weekend?
Speaker 6: Watched a little bit of the Combine and also had
Speaker 6: some Dallas Stars hockey games.
Speaker 2: Oh you can't mention without without stars exactly.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 7: I was doing both.
Speaker 3: They've got And speaking of stars being born, there's one.
Speaker 3: You need to start keeping track of these Dallas Stars
Speaker 3: ever since, because they've got a twenty one year old
Speaker 3: Logan Stankovin who scored four goals the first week, three
Speaker 3: goals something like that.
Speaker 6: It was three goals, one assist in his first four games.
Speaker 7: He's incredible.
Speaker 3: Wow, So there you go. Yeah all right, So where
Speaker 3: do we start on this edition to mix shots? I
Speaker 3: had forgotten that Mickey wasn't going to be here today,
Speaker 3: and so he's on some secluded island somewhere right with
Speaker 3: his ten speed.
Speaker 6: Actually, no, I think he's not on an island. I
Speaker 6: think he's on a mountain.
Speaker 3: Oh, he's on a mountaintop. He's scaling a mountain.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, fresh, no, baby, fresh?
Speaker 7: Well should we start combat?
Speaker 4: Tell it?
Speaker 3: He's telling people about his achilles injury.
Speaker 7: Yes on the one.
Speaker 2: Actually, they're like, oh, you look amazing. So someone has
Speaker 2: had an achilles surgery. Yeah, no, thanks, Yeah, where would.
Speaker 3: You like to start, Savannah?
Speaker 7: Let's see.
Speaker 3: Oh, Savannah's got our own leader, Lord Mickey's seat, I'm
Speaker 3: I got my big green notebook out.
Speaker 7: Let's start.
Speaker 6: Xavier Worthy with the forty yard dash four point two
Speaker 6: one beat the record, incredible.
Speaker 7: Did you guys watch it?
Speaker 4: Ever since I saw that, they said it was it
Speaker 4: was sub for two, No.
Speaker 3: For two, one four two, it was for one.
Speaker 4: Anthime initally said it was sub forth.
Speaker 3: And it was on his second attempt. He went four
Speaker 3: two five on his first forty I think, and normally
Speaker 3: that would be good enough.
Speaker 2: And he said, then I would have put his spikes up,
Speaker 2: his cleats up right there and say I'm done now.
Speaker 3: But that's not the record. And so John Ross had
Speaker 3: the record, and Xavier Worthy says, I'm going for the record.
Speaker 2: Hello, heldo, John Boss has the record? Who is that?
Speaker 3: He was like the eighth pick of the draft Cincinnati seventeen.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 3: Now, Xavier Worthy, he has shown his worthiness as a
Speaker 3: football player at the University of Texas. He's a good player,
Speaker 3: so he's not just a track guy. But forour tow
Speaker 3: to one and he is one hundred and sixty five pounds.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this, Is it more impressive
Speaker 3: that Xavier Worthy ran a four to one at one
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five pounds or Everson? Is it more
Speaker 3: impressive that three hundred sixty six pound to and Andre Sweat,
Speaker 3: the Texas defensive tackle, ran a five to two seven.
Speaker 4: That's scary. Three hundred and.
Speaker 7: Sixty six pounds, that's impressive.
Speaker 3: So just think about this. Okay, he weighs two hundred
Speaker 3: one pounds more than Worthy and was just one second slower.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. You know, I think that would be the
Speaker 4: scariest to me.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you're scary to line up on
Speaker 2: a little guy that can run past you, but so
Speaker 2: it's even scary to have a huge guy that.
Speaker 4: Coming hits you. He's coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little guys getting away from you, this guy's
Speaker 2: coming hit to hit you.
Speaker 4: That's be like.
Speaker 3: Okay, So, so Andre Sweat is Texas teammateers probably telling
Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy, Okay, now you ran four to one, that's
Speaker 3: really impressive. Okay, now you put one one hundred pound
Speaker 3: weight on your right hand and another one hundred pound
Speaker 3: weight in your left run by now trying to run
Speaker 3: five two seven. That's what I just did.
Speaker 4: So he's from Texas. Yeah, he's from Texas well.
Speaker 3: Worthy, Yes, he's from Fresno, California, played to Texas.
Speaker 2: So well, you have two guys on Texas with that
Speaker 2: kind of speed. M because the other guy you just mentioned.
Speaker 3: Well, the sweat is defensive tackle, but they're wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Worthy it's Worthy.
Speaker 3: Worthy is one of their wide receivers at an A
Speaker 3: or how you pronounced his first name, A D. Mitchell
Speaker 3: to transfer from Georgia. He ran like a four to
Speaker 3: three and blew up the other.
Speaker 4: And that's that's the two U two guys, two U
Speaker 4: two guys got.
Speaker 3: They got another one. Jordan Whittington is in the draft.
Speaker 3: So yeah, they got some oh yeah yeah and uh
Speaker 3: and Worthy has been there, he was there for three years.
Speaker 3: Mitchell just transferred there from Georgia after scoring significant touchdowns
Speaker 3: for Jordan for Georgia in the SEC Championship game and
Speaker 3: the NAST championship game. He's got he's got some CD
Speaker 3: lamb in him.
Speaker 4: Mitchell does.
Speaker 2: He's like a little shiftiness, yeah, kinda.
Speaker 3: He kind of has the same build as as c D.
Speaker 3: He kinda and just his his manner.
Speaker 4: Is hits, he knows how to avoid He's not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen him enough to make that claim yet,
Speaker 3: but C's toughness is as impressive as anything, and his
Speaker 3: run after catch. But Mitchell has, Uh, he's gonna it's
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting to see where these two Texas wide receivers.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. Yeah, because I haven't heard of Mitchell first. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I hadn't even heard.
Speaker 3: Of no No Worthy Worthy came on strong as freshman
Speaker 3: year at Texas. Uh, he's just a slight, wiry guy,
Speaker 3: but tough and very fast obviously, but made a lot
Speaker 3: of plays his freshman year kind of it seemed to
Speaker 3: me took a little bit of a step back his
Speaker 3: second year. Maybe he was heard, I don't know, and
Speaker 3: then came on again this year. But uh, they're good.
Speaker 3: The reason that Texas got in the playoff is wide
Speaker 3: receivers were really good.
Speaker 7: Any other standouts that you saw them combine?
Speaker 3: Oh there's you know, I didn't watch it as closely
Speaker 3: as I will. I hit record on it.
Speaker 7: You came stuff the green notebook is I tried.
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't have a chance. I had to
Speaker 3: go to my Grandstn's soccer game and stuff. And then
Speaker 3: it was Sunday fun Day yesterday downtown Green with my kids,
Speaker 3: with my daughters, that's what they called it. So with me,
Speaker 3: that's right, that's right.
Speaker 7: So it was too it was say, Sunday Funday.
Speaker 2: When my daughter starts saying that that, I know I'm
Speaker 2: not included in the plants.
Speaker 4: Have some fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, but it's going to be very very interesting because
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have needs across the board. Obviously got a
Speaker 3: need and so and they have needs because they you
Speaker 3: get cheaper labor in the draft than what you will
Speaker 3: find in free agency.
Speaker 4: So who are we replacing?
Speaker 3: Well, should we start with the offensive tackle?
Speaker 6: Our big news, Yes, we can do that. Tyrone Smith
Speaker 6: unlikely to return to the Cowboys after thirteen seasons.
Speaker 3: Those are reports. Now, Jerry did his I think it's
Speaker 3: probably his thirty fifth annual Combine Cowboys bus press conference
Speaker 3: on Friday, late Friday afternoon, and it was and they
Speaker 3: were obviously they asked him about Tyron and the door
Speaker 3: is definitely open. Now. I think what has happened since
Speaker 3: that press conference is they did have a meeting of
Speaker 3: sorts with Tyroann's agent, and then reports came out that
Speaker 3: they're going to be too far apart to reach an agreement.
Speaker 3: But that could just be posturing too, So we'll see.
Speaker 6: Jerry's a couple exact words from him on Tyrone Smith.
Speaker 6: He's had a great career. He's a Hall of Fame player,
Speaker 6: so there's.
Speaker 4: No doubt about that.
Speaker 2: But you know, well, are we now so much about
Speaker 2: what are you going to do with him this season?
Speaker 2: When I saw last year we talked about Tony Pollard,
Speaker 2: who's another one, I was a bit.
Speaker 4: You could see that Tyrant was struggling.
Speaker 2: He's been struggling really for the past I'd say at
Speaker 2: least the past three years with the injuries and things
Speaker 2: that at least this year he didn't miss as many plays,
Speaker 2: didn't miss as many games, but his effectiveness obviously uh
Speaker 2: himself and and you know, I dare say Zach Martin
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: You can just kind of see it.
Speaker 2: It's a consistent thing now, the injuries, Uh, the games
Speaker 2: where we really need that culture to come through, it's
Speaker 2: not there anymore. That's why we're we're going through running
Speaker 2: backs now, you know, because our offensive life really, you know,
Speaker 2: they're really not controlling things the way we needed them
Speaker 2: to in the big games. And Taiwan, and and and Zach,
Speaker 2: they are both they'll be honest with you. If they
Speaker 2: were honest with you, they would say that their failure
Speaker 2: has a lot.
Speaker 3: To do with that to young men's game.
Speaker 2: It is just the way it is. Bro I hate
Speaker 2: to see these, especially Tyrant. He's I remember I still
Speaker 2: have the video of him dancing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I was just around him doing an autograph session on
Speaker 2: some island on some cruise we went over, and this
Speaker 2: guy man is just.
Speaker 4: I mean, see the video. I don't know, might assuming
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 2: It ain't pretty, but just to see someone that huge
Speaker 2: sit by him and sign out the grounds. I was
Speaker 2: always impressed with his just massive presence. And uh, he
Speaker 2: was always been. He's always been that quiet guy, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, that.
Speaker 4: Quiet professional giant. Never complained. I think he ever complained.
Speaker 4: And so.
Speaker 2: I'll take a not a bold stance, but yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure he's gone.
Speaker 4: I would say he's going.
Speaker 3: I think I think the Cowboys would lik him back,
Speaker 3: but it's at a certain price. And actually his money
Speaker 3: last year was not great by Hall of Fame standards.
Speaker 3: I think he was on a one year, six million
Speaker 3: dollar deal, and but.
Speaker 4: We did not know that. When you look at that
Speaker 4: is a bargain.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, for an offensive tackle.
Speaker 4: For that offensive Yeah.
Speaker 3: When you look at and I got to find it
Speaker 3: in my big green notebook, when look at Kansas City
Speaker 3: and what did they do at left tackle this year?
Speaker 3: They signed a veteran. You know, they had a big
Speaker 3: need because Orlando Brown left in free agency to Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: They had a big need at offensive tackle, and they
Speaker 3: signed on a one year deal. They had Donovan Smith
Speaker 3: plan a veteran guy at left tackle, and I want
Speaker 3: to say his deal was for only three million dollars.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so yeah, and they win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And so the Cowboys look around. Okay, you got a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl team in Kansas City that was in a
Speaker 3: similar predicament as far as with an aging or a
Speaker 3: left tackle position that was open. And they were able
Speaker 3: to get by with and win a Super Bowl with
Speaker 3: Donovan Smith at left tackle on a bargain basement price
Speaker 3: for a veteran like him. And I'm about to find
Speaker 3: what his money was for sure. Yeah, he was on
Speaker 3: a one year, three million dollar deal last year with
Speaker 3: Kansas City chap and so so you got one side
Speaker 3: working from that standpoint, and then you obviously you got Tyron,
Speaker 3: who is his worth that his career shows is worth
Speaker 3: more than he actually he was on a bargain basement
Speaker 3: deal last year, and so that's where I think they
Speaker 3: are so far apart, probably on the on the price there.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he felt like he sacrificed m Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, that's right, and like.
Speaker 3: Look at and now he's a free agent, so see
Speaker 3: what's out there? Yeah, okay, and the Cowboys are probably
Speaker 3: at a point where, okay, we'll let you see what's
Speaker 3: out there. And then if it's not that the money's
Speaker 3: not out there. If you know Kansas City, you know,
Speaker 3: Donovan Smith was on a one year, three million dollar
Speaker 3: deal in Kansas City. Would they offer Tyron that whatever?
Speaker 6: I think he's also taking his health into consideration, and
Speaker 6: you have to because he did have fourteen games in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, but he hasn't played an assistant full
Speaker 6: season since twenty fifteen. He's always had some issues with
Speaker 6: some injuries, and as you get older into these years,
Speaker 6: you have to, you know, take that help into consideration
Speaker 6: with the contract.
Speaker 3: My example of Donovan Smith, he played, he played and
Speaker 3: started only twelve games last year. And so that's what
Speaker 3: happens when you've got thirty three thirty four year old
Speaker 3: offensive lineman and actually Zach Martin's.
Speaker 4: Older than Tyron, have to put them on the pitch count.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, that's right. Yeah, And so the Cowboys. The
Speaker 3: health that Zach Martin has had throughout his career has
Speaker 3: been something that the Cowboys should be very thankful for.
Speaker 3: And now he's he's actually even though he came into
Speaker 3: the league three years after Tyron did, he's actually older
Speaker 3: than Tyron because he was a five year guy at
Speaker 3: Notre Dame and Tyrone was just at USC for three years.
Speaker 6: So well, the Cowboys did have eleven formal meetings with
Speaker 6: offensive linemen during the combine.
Speaker 7: They met with a lot of guys.
Speaker 4: Though, sadness, sadness.
Speaker 3: And the other thing on the offensive line is that
Speaker 3: Tyler Biattish is a free agent. So you're looking at
Speaker 3: left tackle, free agent, center, free agent, right guard, long
Speaker 3: in the tooth, and what's going to be interesting as
Speaker 3: far as the good news from a Cowboys perspective, if
Speaker 3: you're looking at offensive tackle in the first round. This
Speaker 3: looks like a deep draft at offensive tackle. So the
Speaker 3: Cowboys pick number twenty four overall, and that was where
Speaker 3: they were picking when they took Tyler Smith two years ago,
Speaker 3: and that enters the equation here too. Just Mike Solari
Speaker 3: now going into his second year as the offensive line coach,
Speaker 3: does he prefer Tyler Smith inside at guard where he's
Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl caliber player or could he push out
Speaker 3: to left tackle again like he did his rookie year.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So then who's out there as far as
Speaker 2: the youngsters, who's out there running sub five for.
Speaker 4: What offensive tackles out there like that? None of them,
Speaker 4: no young.
Speaker 3: Know's there's a bunch of guys that could be there.
Speaker 3: I mean there are the so called experts project that
Speaker 3: there could be at least six, maybe as many as
Speaker 3: eight go in the first round, which would be could
Speaker 3: you know? The interesting thing, even going back on Tyler's
Speaker 3: draft is the Cowboys were picking at this same spot
Speaker 3: and the inventory of first round caliber offensive tackles ended
Speaker 3: with Tyler Smith, and the Cowboys feel fortunate that they
Speaker 3: he was still there when they took him, because there
Speaker 3: was a drop off to the next tier after that
Speaker 3: and they could be facing that same situation this time, so.
Speaker 6: We're going to see how that plays out the video.
Speaker 4: We'll just let you smile. Yeah, thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Don't put me on the spot, all right?
Speaker 3: Do we continue with more mixed shots? So much to
Speaker 3: get to oh Savannah shots continue?
Speaker 4: Thank you.

Speaker 7: The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: We are back on some Cowboys updates from the last week,
Speaker 6: and I was thinking of bringing up Leyton vander ash. Yes,
Speaker 6: he is having some conversations his agent with the Jones
Speaker 6: family on his future here with the Cowboys, and we
Speaker 6: obviously know he has suffered a couple injuries with the neck,
Speaker 6: and so I think there's some conversations whether he will
Speaker 6: be returning to football in the future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's my concern forget returning to the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: returning to play the game itself.
Speaker 3: Or just and as Jerry said on the bus on Friday,
Speaker 3: that's the bigger concern is beyond football. And so whatever
Speaker 3: the diagnosis and the prognosis is for that neck injury,
Speaker 3: that's where Layton's got to make the decision. And Jerry
Speaker 3: was saying the Cowboys are supportive of whatever decision that
Speaker 3: Layton decides to make, but it's up to him and
Speaker 3: what the doctors say about the future for him and
Speaker 3: as far as his life after football, and so Cowboys
Speaker 3: aren't saying anything right now about it. They're leaving it
Speaker 3: up to Layton to say whatever he wants to say
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: And so I was concerned about him even when he
Speaker 2: came back to play.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: First, Yeah, just anytime you're dealing with next and spine
Speaker 2: and things of that nature, it's something that you don't
Speaker 2: want to anyone to have to deal with.
Speaker 4: A good looking kid.
Speaker 2: You know, you see him all the time when we
Speaker 2: do the the pregame stuff on Saturdays with Spagnola.
Speaker 4: Man, he's just so much bigger when you see it.
Speaker 3: That's the reason that that's the reason he was the
Speaker 3: first round draft, nineteenth overall pay the draft.
Speaker 7: He's a monster, he really is.
Speaker 4: But he's a good looking guy.
Speaker 3: You know, when you're six five two and fifty five
Speaker 3: pounds and can move like him and you.
Speaker 4: Know, got the baby face going. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But that's the problem with that linebacker position. It's it's
Speaker 3: a lot like running back. There's such a pounding at
Speaker 3: that linebacker position if you look at it. Even the
Speaker 3: great line I mean, Luke Keickley was a great example.
Speaker 3: How short was his career because he had concussion issues
Speaker 3: and he had to retire. It's you saw Sean Lee
Speaker 3: here with all the injuries that he had. It's very
Speaker 3: rare that an inside linebacker can go like Fred Warner
Speaker 3: is gone pretty much injury free and play seventeen games
Speaker 3: a year, you know. And and that's why it's tough
Speaker 3: pulling the trigger on a first round draft pick for
Speaker 3: a middle linebacker because you just don't know, you know,
Speaker 3: where they're going to be health wise in a short
Speaker 3: amount of time.
Speaker 2: I always, you know, to me, I'm always a guy
Speaker 2: that believes in Parents ask me all the time about
Speaker 2: kids playing different sports. I always believe that one sport
Speaker 2: will help you in different aspects of other sports.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: The mentality that might take to play baseball is something
Speaker 2: that you can use in football, you know.
Speaker 4: And mentality in basketball is something you can use in football.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: And you know, this guy was from what I hear,
Speaker 2: one of the better basketball player, Yeah.
Speaker 4: All around.
Speaker 3: Football, small town in Idaho.
Speaker 4: And so they said that.
Speaker 2: He came to California and average like thirty points on
Speaker 2: these guys.
Speaker 4: You know, he's like, you know, he brought he guys
Speaker 4: come in from.
Speaker 3: What phone, Idaho?
Speaker 4: I know, California.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they won the game, but they
Speaker 2: said he scored like thirty plus points. He averaged thirty
Speaker 2: plus points in the tournament, So I mean, just all
Speaker 2: around athlete, man, And I appreciate that because you know,
Speaker 2: I don't like the guys just so myopic, and you
Speaker 2: know what sport they're gonna play. I like it when
Speaker 2: they you know, when they branch out and do other things,
Speaker 2: because it develops you all the way around.
Speaker 6: And you can't you can't blame them for taking a
Speaker 6: look at his future and his health and if it
Speaker 6: makes sense for him to stay playing football. He is
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if he's had his first child yet
Speaker 6: or not, but he is supposed to be a first
Speaker 6: time dad, and so you kind of take a look
Speaker 6: at some of those aspects and you're like, all right, yeah,
Speaker 6: is it worth maybe the potential of getting injured down
Speaker 6: the line?
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, I don't know how how smart
Speaker 2: he is necessarily, but you know, there's always coaching if
Speaker 2: you really love the game that much, right, and he
Speaker 2: seems to have great work ethic. I never heard anyone
Speaker 2: complaining about him being a good teammate. So I mean,
Speaker 2: like you said, you got the kids now, you have
Speaker 2: a son, a kid, and now you want to you know,
Speaker 2: you could just branch out into coaching and still be
Speaker 2: around the game you love.
Speaker 3: If you're looking for someone in the draft, guy that
Speaker 3: I liked at the Combine, just starting to do my
Speaker 3: research on him. Out of North Carolina State, Peyton Wilson
Speaker 3: six ' four, two hundred and thirty three pounds ran
Speaker 3: a four to four to four, like that's crazy, crazy, and.
Speaker 4: He talked about it.
Speaker 3: All around athlete. He was a not only in obviously football,
Speaker 3: but he's a state champion wrestler in North Carolina, an
Speaker 3: All conference lacrosse player as well, and he is and
Speaker 3: his brother also a baseball player. His brother actually pitches
Speaker 3: for the Milwaukee Brewers, Bryce Wilson. But he's also a
Speaker 3: guy that's had injury issues. Early in his his first
Speaker 3: year at North Carolina State, had a knee injury missed
Speaker 3: that year, and then in twenty one he had another
Speaker 3: injury missed that year. But he was the Bedeneric Award winner,
Speaker 3: but Gus Award winner out of North Carolina State, Peyton Wilson.
Speaker 3: But he turns twenty four April twenty first, so right
Speaker 3: before the draft, so it's a lot like Sean Lee.
Speaker 3: Shawn Lee was like twenty four when he came into
Speaker 3: the because he had had injuries in college and so
Speaker 3: he was stayed there longer. And so it's kind of
Speaker 3: the same way with this guy now Sean Lee though. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and Sean Lee.
Speaker 4: Was told than college.
Speaker 3: Especially now really especially now, so many of these guys
Speaker 3: now because they're getting the extra year for COVID.
Speaker 4: Ah, yeah, yeah, but you know that's one of them.
Speaker 3: I really believe we've had more rookies this year that
Speaker 3: made an impact in the league this year. I mean,
Speaker 3: just take the wide receiver positioned along with Tank Dell
Speaker 3: and Houston and Rushie Rice at Kansas City and there
Speaker 3: are others. I believe it's that extra year. Even though
Speaker 3: they didn't they didn't play necessarily at the big schools.
Speaker 3: They did play a full schedule in the COVID year,
Speaker 3: but they got that extra year of eligibility. So they
Speaker 3: say there were more players in the draft last year
Speaker 3: than ever before.
Speaker 4: It was. I can't remember that it would be on.
Speaker 2: It after this, after the COVID thing kind of washes out,
Speaker 2: then it will go back to kind here's.
Speaker 3: The other thing, there's fewer this year too, not only
Speaker 3: because they've got through a little bit of that COVID year,
Speaker 3: although it's still impacting a little bit. Yeah, but in
Speaker 3: IL now it's affecting it. Kids are staying in college now.
Speaker 4: Because college so long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, but there are there are a
Speaker 3: number of what what how old were you when you graduated?
Speaker 7: I was twenty.
Speaker 2: One, me too, twenty one, twenty two with the most
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that means that you early. You're probably like this.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of six year seniors this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but now there are a lot of kids
Speaker 3: are graduating by age twenty because they're getting college credited
Speaker 3: in high school. I mean normal students. You know, they're
Speaker 3: getting college credit early, and so they got enough hours
Speaker 3: where they graduated at age twenty after two and a
Speaker 3: half years of college.
Speaker 4: Three years of college. Well that I can get. But
Speaker 4: the twenty four like THEMN your birthday, and then you
Speaker 4: have to be with shir then.
Speaker 2: COVID geez, and then you go on there like Mormons,
Speaker 2: you got to go the on the on the what
Speaker 2: do they call.
Speaker 7: That their mission mission? Yeah, to your.
Speaker 4: Mission, to your mission.
Speaker 2: Then of course the David Robinson's they you know, they
Speaker 2: enable one of the naval things.
Speaker 4: So yeah, to your militaryty years old, I'm a bookie,
Speaker 4: but run.
Speaker 3: You know, that's what's interesting about this nil deal now
Speaker 3: because it's like, okay, I these kids are staying in
Speaker 3: school now because they got these green dollars that are
Speaker 3: flashing in front of their face that.
Speaker 4: Okay, college if it pays.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, wait, he's on this nil. They're offering
Speaker 3: me five hundred thousand dollars. Okay, well my, well, my, okay.
Speaker 3: I'm projected to be a third or fourth.
Speaker 4: Round draft pick.
Speaker 3: All right, but I've got this five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: It's in my hand right now. I have to make
Speaker 3: the team in the NFL to get that five hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, and I'm not totally sure I can do it.
Speaker 3: And it's gonna benefit me to have one.
Speaker 4: More years too.
Speaker 3: And so now, so they're staying in school. But here's
Speaker 3: what's going to happen on that all right, they're gonna
Speaker 3: get hurt or whatever. And the other thing is they're
Speaker 3: coming into the league later, so they're twenty four whatever.
Speaker 3: When next week when we're looking at free agency, the
Speaker 3: prime age that guy that these teams are looking at
Speaker 3: for players. When they're trying to sign a guy in
Speaker 3: free agency, it is twenty six years old. Okay, you
Speaker 3: want that twenty six year old. You don't want to
Speaker 3: give the money to the twenty.
Speaker 4: Eight year old er.
Speaker 3: You're so close to thirty, you're gonna break down, right,
Speaker 3: And so what's going to happen is these college players.
Speaker 4: Afford to leave college.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would not be able to afford to
Speaker 2: leave college because it pays so much.
Speaker 3: But yeah, but okay, so you're taking that money. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's in here and right now, but you may be
Speaker 3: giving up that money on that second NFL con if
Speaker 3: you're that good of a player, because you're going to
Speaker 3: be too old to get the big money at twenty six.
Speaker 4: So they stay in school.
Speaker 3: Last we right now, it pays to stay in school,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't necessarily long term pay to stay in
Speaker 3: school because you're going to be too old to get
Speaker 3: the second the big money on the second game.
Speaker 11: If you're not that good of a if you're a
Speaker 11: good college player and you know you're not going to
Speaker 11: be a good pro player, you stay your ass in
Speaker 11: school as long as you can.
Speaker 12: Try, because you you're not going to be able to
Speaker 12: if you're worthy, if you're saving, you're worthy, and you
Speaker 12: know you can run a four to one and become
Speaker 12: a first round draft pick.
Speaker 3: Then you turn pro.
Speaker 2: There's more Walls out there than worthy, That's right. So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say my school.
Speaker 4: If you're coming. But you had the confidence I did.
Speaker 2: Okay, everybodkay, take my I had the confidence here, but
Speaker 2: nothing necessarily a four to two off in here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but okay, just put yourself in your twenty
Speaker 3: one year old Everson Walls mind and body when you graduated, okay,
Speaker 3: when you graduating from Grambling, okay, and you're not getting
Speaker 3: any looks from the NFL whatever. Okay, but let's say, okay,
Speaker 3: by it would have been, it would have been how
Speaker 3: much money would have kept you in school? Ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: More than this is nineteen eighty one I made.
Speaker 3: I made twelve thousand dollars my first year of working
Speaker 3: as a sportscaster. The whole year I made twelve found dollars.
Speaker 4: I would have had to come out, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: You would have come out.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So now you put it in present days, you're
Speaker 4: talking ten thousand pluses five hundred pounds.
Speaker 3: No, but your your first contract as a even like
Speaker 3: a third or fourth round draft pick. Okay, it's four years,
Speaker 3: three million, three point five billion.
Speaker 4: Whatever minimum alone is amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, true, Yeah, Let's get back to linebacker, you guys,
Speaker 6: I gave him mind.
Speaker 3: Will Drin Cooper from Texas A and M is another
Speaker 3: one that a lot of people have as the Daniel
Speaker 3: Jeremiah in fact has him as the number one linebacker
Speaker 3: and twenty first overall on his list that Peyton Wilson.
Speaker 3: Jeremiah's got him forty seventh on his overall rankings, the
Speaker 3: third best linebacker and so that you're getting into that
Speaker 3: second round realm there where he could be available. I
Speaker 3: think that's where the Cowboys will be looking at. Linebacker
Speaker 3: will be in the second, third, fourth rounds, and you
Speaker 3: can find good linebackers in that spot in the draft.
Speaker 7: So Will McLay.
Speaker 6: When he was at the combine he was asked about
Speaker 6: the linebacker position, he said, we're looking for big, athletic
Speaker 6: football players.
Speaker 7: We're always looking at linebackers.
Speaker 6: That's a position that in free agency and in the
Speaker 6: draft that we're going to have to look at because
Speaker 6: we want to add more players.
Speaker 3: Now, the big thing on that is you're looking for
Speaker 3: a three down linebacker that you're drafting in the top picks.
Speaker 3: So that means in this day and age in the NFL,
Speaker 3: you got to have the athleticism to be able to
Speaker 3: cover and and that's why I like and that's why
Speaker 3: some of these there, Yeah, that's true. And six pounder
Speaker 3: who can move, you know.
Speaker 2: And got that attitude and he's the born leader, the
Speaker 2: guy that's that's the way they take over.
Speaker 4: As soon as he comes into the league. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: Now I want to go back.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but did you see any offensive other offensive
Speaker 2: tackles out there?
Speaker 4: Because I don't think we even.
Speaker 3: Let me go back to the offensive.
Speaker 4: I didn't look.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the offensive lineman yesterday on my things
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 4: I can't give you an idea out there.
Speaker 3: I'll give you an idea. And there's a lot of
Speaker 3: names that are very difficult to pronounce. The first one
Speaker 3: is not difficult to announce. The guy that's gonna that's
Speaker 3: the number one. And I'm going off Jeremiah's list here
Speaker 3: just because I wrote those down. Joe Alt of Notre Dame,
Speaker 3: he's got him as his ninth overall player, number one
Speaker 3: offensive tackle.
Speaker 4: Ninth overall player. Yeah, so he's a.
Speaker 3: Top ten pick, right, and he probably I mean, I
Speaker 3: think you're looking at the draft, you're probably going to
Speaker 3: have three quarterbacks go off the board first, one, two, three.
Speaker 3: You could get a fourth in there depending. Uh. And
Speaker 3: then you got Marvin Harrison Junior, who likely is let's
Speaker 3: say he goes fourth to Arizona. Uh, And offensive tackles
Speaker 3: are going to come start coming off the board quickly
Speaker 3: after that. They've got there's an Oregon State offensive lineman,
Speaker 3: a Penn State offensive lineman are two and three on
Speaker 3: the list, Alabama offensive line. Just give you give me
Speaker 3: an idea his Jeremiah's fourth offensive tackle is his thirteenth
Speaker 3: overall pick. So he's got four offensive linemen from number
Speaker 3: nine to number thirteen on his list. There, Marius Mims
Speaker 3: out of Georgia is his seventh offensive tackle or offensive
Speaker 3: lineman that he's got listed, and it's his nineteenth overall pick.
Speaker 3: So the offensive linemen are going to start coming off
Speaker 3: the border. Or keep in mind, the Cowboys are picking
Speaker 3: twenty fourth and then the next one on his list,
Speaker 3: Jordan Morgan of Arizona, is thirty ninth overall and he's
Speaker 3: eighth offensive tackle.
Speaker 2: So if Spags was here, then we would not be
Speaker 2: talking about offensive guards, correct, right, because you.
Speaker 3: Don't draft offensive guards, although as it turns out the
Speaker 3: Cowboys did two years ago and a pretty good player.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he will argue that point as well. Yeah, right. Anyway.
Speaker 3: Tyler Geidon of Oklahoma is another one that Jeremiah has
Speaker 3: is his sixth offensive tackle, eighteenth overall, and he transferred
Speaker 3: from TCU to Oklahoma. He's six seven, three hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty eight pounds and is athletic. The problem that I
Speaker 3: had in watching Oklahoma play Okay last in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two he only started five games and last year he
Speaker 3: started ten games. But my issue with him is there
Speaker 3: were times where okay, why is he not playing? And
Speaker 3: at key points during the season is it is it
Speaker 3: an injury issue or is it okay, I'm protecting my
Speaker 3: a business decision.
Speaker 7: Is it a lack of skill yeah.
Speaker 3: Don't or lack yeah or lack of one two or
Speaker 3: whatever you know. So that's my only issue with him
Speaker 3: is just how much of the desire there is so
Speaker 3: anyway that gives you an idea on.
Speaker 4: Some of those offensive linemen. Lineman, I'm satisfied.
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, there's a lot of there's a lot of
Speaker 3: them that are projected to go in the first round.
Speaker 11: And so what else are we looking for? Because are
Speaker 11: we looking for a dB?
Speaker 3: They're looking at a lot of them. They're talking to
Speaker 3: a lot of them.
Speaker 7: And running back to of course, got it. Get We
Speaker 7: got to get to that.

Speaker 6: whoever's the watching We're watching the combine highlights right.
Speaker 3: Now, highlights on there, and Everson is going, wow, look
Speaker 3: at that, Wow, look at that.
Speaker 4: What's his name? Reminds me, Everson? I did uh.
Speaker 3: This is twenty years ago Dallas Desperado's arena football game
Speaker 3: and Rocket Ismail I did a game with him. I
Speaker 3: was a play by play and Rocket was the analyst
Speaker 3: and this was the first time that he had ever
Speaker 3: seen in arena football game. Right, and so he was
Speaker 3: just amazed at Yeah. And so it was at Thank You,
Speaker 3: it would have I guess it maybe was at the AA.
Speaker 3: I guess it was at the AA. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: I was thinking, sure enough where arena, but it was
Speaker 3: at the AAC anyway. So so Rocket is there and
Speaker 3: all you could say was wow, that was his color,
Speaker 3: that was his commentary.
Speaker 4: It was it came across great because.
Speaker 3: There's this, you know, the boyish enthusiasm that rock for
Speaker 3: everything it was. But it was like, this is the
Speaker 3: first time, and so I just was reminded that as
Speaker 3: ever since watching Xavier You're Worthy Runner four to two one.
Speaker 4: And I already told him about it, and wow, look
Speaker 4: at that look and.
Speaker 3: Then tell me try Mitchell the cornerback. So he's so
Speaker 3: Everson then starts telling another story and I said, oh,
Speaker 3: look at the screen, there's the cornerback from Toledo. And
Speaker 3: he starts looking at that. He goes, look at that from.
Speaker 4: What's the big man's name, what's the big man's name?
Speaker 4: Come on, man? That is wow. That wow.
Speaker 2: Watching him move all of that, that massive body going
Speaker 2: in different directions quickly, quickly, that is impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that's the thing. That's the thing I
Speaker 3: think that will throw people on the combine. Though, is
Speaker 3: in contrast to even twenty years ago, especially thirty years ago,
Speaker 3: the training that these prospects go through for two months,
Speaker 3: six weeks to eight weeks before the combine. They are
Speaker 3: being trained specifically for those drills combines, and so they
Speaker 3: are blowing up even a forty time. They are being
Speaker 3: taught by Michael Johnson, the world's the greatest sprinter, you know.
Speaker 7: That, Yeah, check for the combine that they're trying.
Speaker 3: To you know, being coached that you got to stay
Speaker 3: in a straight line when you run, You got to
Speaker 3: keep your head down whatever, you know, Whereas before, you know,
Speaker 3: guys would just run, you know. And that makes a
Speaker 3: huge difference in a four or five and a four eight.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't just make a huge difference at camp.
Speaker 2: I always believed in drills making you a better player. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, so they're teaching them the right way to
Speaker 2: do it. You're going to need this exact technique when
Speaker 2: you get to the pros.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're doing in college right now,
Speaker 4: but you're gonna need this when you get to.
Speaker 2: The pro And I've always appreciated drills because they just
Speaker 2: get you ready. You know, they get you your body
Speaker 2: and your mind and your feet and they get them connected.
Speaker 2: Is nothing like having that that repetition, repetition, having that
Speaker 2: repetition to where you don't even have to think about
Speaker 2: it anymore.
Speaker 3: Which is why even I mean even late in the season,
Speaker 3: there's there's drills that professional athletes who have been doing
Speaker 3: this for thirty years, since they were five years old,
Speaker 3: who are doing these technique drills that they have to
Speaker 3: do as part of the process.
Speaker 4: I recall when I when I trained.
Speaker 2: You know, if you you didn't have the ability to
Speaker 2: have someone out there training with your wide receiver to
Speaker 2: train with, you could play other sports that have that
Speaker 2: same movement, that same abrupt movement. In my tennis, I
Speaker 2: used to tennis used to help me with my range,
Speaker 2: my latter movement because I had my sister taught me
Speaker 2: how to play.
Speaker 4: And there's some good guys I grew up what they
Speaker 4: could play.
Speaker 11: And when when when you're up on that net and
Speaker 11: you want to get that ball, you want to be
Speaker 11: able to reach going left or right, you know, it
Speaker 11: becomes instinctive when you're even training for another through another sport.
Speaker 2: And so that's why you always use other sports. As
Speaker 2: we just talked about, you use other sports to make
Speaker 2: you good. And what you do you just have to
Speaker 2: to be, you know, just one track minded and just
Speaker 2: train football drills is one thing. But when you get
Speaker 2: out there and you're playing baseball, you're playing basketball, even
Speaker 2: with when you're swimming, those things can be drawn upon
Speaker 2: to make you better at this particular sport.
Speaker 3: Okay, So we'll get back to free agency and everything,
Speaker 3: but just one one more thing on that. Okay. So
Speaker 3: now you see kids today okay and their parents. Okay, Johnny,
Speaker 3: he's he's got shows all this ability in football. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's just killing the sixth grade flag football. And so
Speaker 3: now or are this say, seventh grade and he's playing
Speaker 3: on his seventh grade team in pads tackle and then
Speaker 3: they got flag football in the spring. And so Johnny,
Speaker 3: instead of having Johnny play basketball and baseball, okay, Johnny's
Speaker 3: gonna instead play football. There's a winter flag football league
Speaker 3: and then there's a spring one too, and so he's
Speaker 3: gonna do football year round. Or take a basketball player.
Speaker 3: It happens all the time.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Basketball used to be a winter sport.
Speaker 4: Right now. It's every every season.
Speaker 3: There's a spring there's a winter league, there's a spring league,
Speaker 3: there's a summer league, there's a fall league, and so
Speaker 3: you play basketball year round whatever. And so what would
Speaker 3: you recommend if you've got a first athlete son or daughter,
Speaker 3: what is your recommendation to those parents on.
Speaker 4: What they should recommend that they go at their own pace.
Speaker 2: Do not let any coach tell you that he's just
Speaker 2: going to be this football player or basketball player going
Speaker 2: around to all of these camps back to back to back.
Speaker 2: You have to diversify. You just have to. You have
Speaker 2: to if you're in there at some point, if you're
Speaker 2: that player that can do all of that, then you
Speaker 2: need to do all of that. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: I always say the more you can do, the more
Speaker 2: you can do, and trust me, it helps. I didn't
Speaker 2: get those interceptions just because I could track the ball.
Speaker 2: I got those inceptions because I could track the ball.
Speaker 2: And when I played basketball, the coach said get the
Speaker 2: ball in his highest.
Speaker 3: Point when you played center field and baseball.
Speaker 2: When you play centerfield baseball, that teaches you how to
Speaker 2: track the ball, you know, I mean, you can do
Speaker 2: all you want and if you got another wide receiver
Speaker 2: out there, and you're a defensive back. Okay, now we
Speaker 2: got the quarterback. He's gonna be Well, you can just
Speaker 2: play baseball and learn that, you know. So you need
Speaker 2: to take advantage of what you have the ability to
Speaker 2: do right now, because then your time gets a lot
Speaker 2: shorter as you get older. When you're young, you have
Speaker 2: that chance to go into all sports. When you get older,
Speaker 2: that's when things start whining. You start willing to down
Speaker 2: to really just.
Speaker 4: A couple of sports.
Speaker 2: You can't go three sports necessarily in high school.
Speaker 3: And you look at these draft prospects and so many
Speaker 3: of the best ones. There are multiple sport athletes in
Speaker 3: high school.
Speaker 2: First, to me, track is the best. To me soccer first.
Speaker 2: When you start off as you get older, especially your
Speaker 2: senior year in high school, if you're not running track,
Speaker 2: you should try to run track because the development that
Speaker 2: your body is ready to go through at sixteen, seventeen
Speaker 2: eighteen years old, it's ready for that leap. Because now
Speaker 2: you're going into seventeen eighteen years old, you're going to college.
Speaker 2: You're up there with I was seventeen years old. I'm
Speaker 2: going to get Doug Williams. He's twenty three. I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, so you're going against men. And now, of
Speaker 2: course with this COVID thing, you were talking about players
Speaker 2: coming out older.
Speaker 4: You gotta be ready, man, you have to. And that's
Speaker 4: what when you call it.
Speaker 3: Coaches, scouts, NFL, even in the NFL, they want to know,
Speaker 3: did you run track in high school? Yeah?
Speaker 4: It's a lot more practice.
Speaker 2: Is the hardest practice I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 2: I've actually pulled the muscle in my butthole. That's just
Speaker 2: how I'm talking.
Speaker 4: Eighth grade. I couldn't even cut my yard. How could
Speaker 4: you cup a miles yard?
Speaker 7: Where's jug with a cowboy?
Speaker 4: We are on the air, right, What are we talking
Speaker 4: about anymore?
Speaker 3: Okay, what else is on your legal back?
Speaker 7: Alright, We're gonna get over to Michael Gallop, how about Yeah.
Speaker 6: So they obviously the Cowboys want to have some conversations
Speaker 6: with him about his future here in Dallas. Jerry made
Speaker 6: some comments last week about meeting with his agent, but
Speaker 6: they want to have a sound decision with Michael involved
Speaker 6: to see where he's going to be going in the future.
Speaker 3: Well, and he's he's under contract, and I'm going to
Speaker 3: pull up his contract right now and obviously what we're
Speaker 3: seeing with Michael with CD where he is, and Brandon
Speaker 3: Cooks and Jalen Tolbert, and there's some good wide receivers
Speaker 3: in this draft. Cowboys, you know, have to be interested
Speaker 3: in some of those wide receivers or that's a position
Speaker 3: you're always trying to supplement, you know, and you never
Speaker 3: know in the wide receiver you can find a really
Speaker 3: good wide receiver in the fifth round who's a lot cheaper.
Speaker 3: And obviously Michael's contract.
Speaker 4: For this year.
Speaker 3: He it's the third year of this deal, and his
Speaker 3: base salary is eight point five million dollars. His cap
Speaker 3: number is thirteen point eight million.
Speaker 4: Now the.
Speaker 3: Cowboys can save some money whatever. I think what's probably
Speaker 3: happening here when Jerry's talking about having a conversation with
Speaker 3: Michael and his agent is trying to figure out a
Speaker 3: way to reduce that base salary so that he can
Speaker 3: stay here and where there's a comfort zone for Michael
Speaker 3: here at the Cowboys too. The Cowboys love Michael, but
Speaker 3: his production has not been where it needed to be
Speaker 3: commensure with that money.
Speaker 2: And so then thirty nine catches four hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: four yards in twenty twenty two thirty four catches four
Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen yards in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to have those performers and so in
Speaker 3: a way, and then Michael will be left with it.
Speaker 3: And I'm just reading. No one has told me this
Speaker 3: or anything. I'm just speculating that this is probably what
Speaker 3: Jerry is looking at when he says that he he
Speaker 3: is going to have a conversation with Michael about it.
Speaker 3: I think they want them here, but they want it
Speaker 3: on a deal where that can benefit both sides. And
Speaker 3: even from Michael's standpoint, it could benefit him. He has
Speaker 3: a comfort level here with the Cowboys where, you know,
Speaker 3: if he were to be released, what is out what
Speaker 3: would be out there for him coming off those seasons
Speaker 3: that he's had and the injury that he had.
Speaker 2: You know, I'd like a realistic conversation with our trainers
Speaker 2: in regards to coming off with these injuries.
Speaker 4: And we talked about how that first year.
Speaker 2: You know, this is something that we really didn't talk
Speaker 2: about in the past, about what it's like to come
Speaker 2: off of a major off of major surgery after missing.
Speaker 3: Especially when that was late in the season like that.
Speaker 3: It was a February surgery too.
Speaker 4: How does how much? Because he's not going to say it.
Speaker 2: Look, the player is not going to say, hey, I'm
Speaker 2: still feeling something or I can't my leg is not
Speaker 2: as powerful as it was based on the surgery. He's
Speaker 2: not going to say that. You know, he's going to
Speaker 2: go out there and say, hey, I feel good, I'm
Speaker 2: going out here, I'm going to play every week. I'm
Speaker 2: going to play. But your production is going down each year.
Speaker 2: And so the trainers to me need to have a
Speaker 2: real conversation of do you get that buffer year after surgery?
Speaker 2: You know, is the second year you know, has it
Speaker 2: has it been? If you track all the injuries and
Speaker 2: surgeries that we've had, have they had this this this
Speaker 2: one year that was a buffer year? And did they
Speaker 2: come back in the second year and do even better?
Speaker 2: That's something they need to assess, the performance assess. That's
Speaker 2: something they need to assess. And I think it would
Speaker 2: be very interesting. That's theon that that should be the
Speaker 2: decisions you make should be based on that finding. Because
Speaker 2: you know, he was one of the more athletic receivers
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. We had a thousand yards was a
Speaker 2: few years ago. I mean, really some of the moves
Speaker 2: he made the more underrated moves out ever seen by
Speaker 2: wide receiver, and he made him into successful place. I
Speaker 2: don't know about getting back to that, but can he
Speaker 2: get better then last year and get close to that?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: And his birthday is today, twenty eight years old today,
Speaker 3: it kind of gets back, Okay, a week from now,
Speaker 3: if he's out there in the free agent market where
Speaker 3: there's a ton of wide receivers out there, there's a
Speaker 3: ton of really good wide receivers in the draft, what
Speaker 3: kind of money's going to be out there for him
Speaker 3: at age twenty It kind of gets back to what
Speaker 3: I was saying that twenty six is the prime spot
Speaker 3: for a free agent where you get the big buck,
Speaker 3: which is what he was two years ago when he got.
Speaker 4: The big bucks.
Speaker 3: And now he's twenty eight, and so I think the
Speaker 3: players have to realistically, with good advice from their agent,
Speaker 3: look at what the market is out there and make
Speaker 3: the best decision for themselves.
Speaker 4: I think have to look at this game on both sides.
Speaker 2: First, you talk about, you know, players are getting younger,
Speaker 2: that's true, but you also talk about the techniques that
Speaker 2: they have now when they train even older players.
Speaker 4: That's something that needs to be considered.
Speaker 2: Older players may still have a place in this league
Speaker 2: simply because of their discipline and you know, the way
Speaker 2: that they carry themselves throughout the season. So I think
Speaker 2: they need to start taking a better look at older
Speaker 2: players because these techniques that they have these days, it's
Speaker 2: improving them as well, and it's affecting their longevity in
Speaker 2: a good way.
Speaker 6: And even taking a look at some of those younger
Speaker 6: players that you already have and giving them the ability
Speaker 6: to step up in a way as well if that
Speaker 6: vet is not excelling in a certain area. I mean,
Speaker 6: like you said, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, you know you
Speaker 6: can kind of take a look at these guys and say, hey,
Speaker 6: they made some plays for us already.
Speaker 4: Yes, you did.
Speaker 3: I mentioned it looks like three quarterbacks should go in
Speaker 3: the first three picks in the draft of Caleb Williams,
Speaker 3: the quarterback.
Speaker 4: From usc ever soon.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard this or not, but
Speaker 3: at the combine, he didn't do a physical okay, which
Speaker 3: is common. I mean that's one of the main reasons
Speaker 3: that it is the most important reason probably that you
Speaker 3: have a combine is that you can go even for
Speaker 3: the player's standpoint, they can go to one place do
Speaker 3: a physical that every team has access to the results,
Speaker 3: and he doesn't have to do it everyplace else that
Speaker 3: he goes then, and so that he decided he's not
Speaker 3: going to do a physical there, he'll go. He'll do
Speaker 3: a physical at whatever, wherever team he visits, whatever, he'll
Speaker 3: do a physical. So he's going to So he's going
Speaker 3: to have to do a physical in Chicago, and he'll
Speaker 3: have to do one with Washington, he'll have to do one.
Speaker 4: Whatever.
Speaker 3: I wanted to get Ever, Sin's take on it. What
Speaker 3: else about Caleb.
Speaker 4: Out? They also want a piece of the team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what came out before, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his dad, His dad said they want where the
Speaker 2: team he goes to, they want minority stop.
Speaker 3: Interesting, that's not he's gonna that's for in a position.
Speaker 3: I like that he's in a position of leverage. I
Speaker 3: like her trying to make the make the motion.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that's the first person to even think of that.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're allowed to do that. They're not
Speaker 4: allowed No, okay, you're not allowed to be You're not
Speaker 4: allowed to own a piece of the team. And actually
Speaker 4: I'm really sure.
Speaker 3: You know what their answer to that is when Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones about the Cowboys, you weren't able to do a
Speaker 3: lot of the marketings.
Speaker 2: How you're gonna take a bankrupt team and then you
Speaker 2: get to keep all your proceeds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on.
Speaker 3: They want to change the rules, go bigger.
Speaker 2: Rules can't be changed, huh. And with me though, I
Speaker 2: was never in this position, but I've heard stories. Dion
Speaker 2: was one of them. And also Wild Springs told me
Speaker 2: this story about because Shawn Springs when he was coming out,
Speaker 2: he was a stud. And so you know, you had people,
Speaker 2: the scouts come around there and they try to bully
Speaker 2: the player sometimes, Hey I need you to do this.
Speaker 2: I need to do that, I needs to do that.
Speaker 2: So I think it was the Giants scout. He came
Speaker 2: around and he wanted Sean to run a forty, and
Speaker 2: I think he had already done enough. And you know,
Speaker 2: Sean was playing the you know, the bougie you know,
Speaker 2: I'm the man type thing, which they deserve. And so
Speaker 2: the guy goes.
Speaker 4: Out, well, hey man, I need you, I need you
Speaker 4: to run for me. He said. Ron goes, well, what
Speaker 4: team are you with? He said?
Speaker 2: The Giants he said, don't worry, he won't be around
Speaker 2: by that. You won't even want to be around by that.
Speaker 11: And I think had a similar such situation to where
Speaker 11: he ran his forty I.
Speaker 2: Believe, like, hey, I want you to run for me, like, well,
Speaker 2: who are you with? Well, no, I won't even be
Speaker 2: around by.
Speaker 3: So do you think there are teams that would okay
Speaker 3: Caleb dictating things, that know, we're going to do it
Speaker 3: this way, or Dion in that case five years ago, whatever?
Speaker 3: Do you think there are NFL teams that would say
Speaker 3: I don't want any part of that. That's a red flag.
Speaker 4: You know. It's just like the other time.
Speaker 2: You if the risk is worth it, if the risk
Speaker 2: is worth the reward, then you take them. You're gonna
Speaker 2: take him.
Speaker 4: I mean, look at LT. Look at long As Taylor.
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, he had issues all not.
Speaker 2: Just before he got drafted, but all through his career
Speaker 2: and up till this day. Yet he's still LT and
Speaker 2: everybody gives him a pass for being LT. And I'm
Speaker 2: all for that as well. That's my classmate, So I'm good.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: I think we survived an hour without Mickey, we did think.
Speaker 4: I think we.
Speaker 3: Flourished I think we did too.
Speaker 4: All the shots.
Speaker 3: He's going to cut short his vacation, get back here
Speaker 3: as quickly as POSSI and see if his name is
Speaker 3: still in the lineup.
