Oh, we 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: have somebody among us today among us that's basically our 22 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: own version chef of the Adam Schefter show of the 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: Inn Rapp Report, show of all of these Garofalos and 24 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: the Pellace arrows, And what are these these jokers that 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: wish they were Patrick's right? Goodness? What are we talking 26 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: about here? Fellas? All right, give me the latest thing 27 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: you've heard. I don't care if it's gonna get you 28 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: in trouble or not. Just tell me I care, Okay, 29 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: So we're gonna lead with this. First of all, this 30 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: is one of the best what would Rob do moments? 31 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: Because News and Notes leads with the Cowboys have reportedly 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: agreed to terms with impact veteran safety Donovan Wilson. Again, 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: this is per multiple report. Still working to confirm this upstairs, 34 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: but it looks as if Donovan Wilson has been secured 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: and has secured his bag on a three year deal 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: reportedly worth upwards of twenty four million dollars. So a 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: key piece of dan Quinn's defense remains in North Texas. 38 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: That is one of the bigger things that the Cowboys 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: were trying to work on as far as retaining in 40 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: house free agents. Now they can turn their attention to 41 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: trying to finalize something on late In Vanderesh, which is 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: another guy they've been working on for the past several days. 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: But it cannot be overstated how important it is to 44 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: keep Donovan Wilson in this build. And Lee Tackler came 45 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: into his own really in year two but had some injury, 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: the peck shoulder injury that kind of slowed him in 47 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: year three, and his second version of breakout of his 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: breakout season, which was year four in twenty twenty two, 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: he just took it to another level. And I think 50 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: at some point last season I finally used the word 51 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: elite and I could not be more proud of this 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: young man. I have been. I am on record if 53 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: you follow me on Twitter at Voice of the Star, 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, from the moment the Cowboys selected Donovan Wilson 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: in the sixth round in twenty sixty, I said that 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: he was going to be the next elite safety for 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: Dallas if they allowed him to develop. And they did. 58 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: And you're talking about a guy who also did it 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: over the course of multiple defensive coordinators and multiple defensive assistance. 60 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: Rather it be Chris Richard slash Rod Marinelli. He went 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: through the Mike Nolan stage and then now he's with 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: dan Quinn and he's just he's prospering. So kudos to 63 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys for getting it done, Kudos to Donovan Wilson 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: for showing the potential. And he's not done. I don't 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: believe he's done it all. As far as between the lines, 66 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: I think he still has a couple more gears to show. 67 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: What do you think about the signing and just how 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: big of an impact he has had because he brings 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: an element to this offense. All right, excuse me to 70 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: this defense that the defense has seen in decades. I 71 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: mean a safety that's going to come downhill and hit 72 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: the way that he does as a heat seeking missile. 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: You haven't had that on the Cowboys defense in time. No. 74 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: I love his versatility. I think he was a necessity 75 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: in terms of obviously this is one of their first moves. 76 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: He was a necessity in terms of bringing him back 77 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: as a cornerstone. We like to use that term around 78 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: these parts. A cornerstone part of this defense and dan 79 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: quinn system. The versatility that he presents, the tenacity that 80 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: he presents, the intensity the motor all those things, right, 81 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: are really indicative of who he is as a person 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: and as a player, and that is what you want 83 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: the character and the identity of this defense to be. 84 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: He is the model citizen of that. You know, he's 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: the mannequin in the window when you walk past the 86 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Nike store. You know, he's that guy for them. Regardless 87 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: of his size. He's not the biggest man in the 88 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: real but he plays like it and that's what matters most. 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: And I think that the fact that he not only 90 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: brings that that ferociousness to the defense, but also the 91 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: versatility that he provides dan Quinn in terms of the 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: various looks as we know dan Quinn makes running these 93 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: three safety sets and things of that nature. It's huge 94 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: for this defense. So check one offer the good guys 95 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: they were able to retain. Now turn your head to 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: other guys and see what the next move is and 97 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: real quick, because I'm so excited about Donald I said 98 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty nineteen. But the Jaguar is staying here. 99 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: And for those that don't know, that's what Michael Parsons 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: calls Donovan Wilson the Jaguar, and over the course of 101 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: the season last season, speaking with Donovan Wilson on several occasions, 102 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: speaking with Mike McCarthy, speaking with Dan Quinn, just anyone 103 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: that I could speak to about Donovan, and with Donovan, 104 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: I could not have received higher praise about Donovan Wilson. 105 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: But more importantly, not just because of what he's doing 106 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: on the field. He's the consummate pro off of the field, 107 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: no red flags off the field, no issues outside of 108 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: building and in the locker room. Just he's kind of 109 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: the silent leader. Right If you'll ever walk into the 110 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys locker room and you see Donovan Wilson, he's real silent, 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: he's real quiet, kind of goes about his business. He 112 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: has a great error about himself, like you can tell 113 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: he has that good air. But he's not the talkative guy. 114 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: He's not the guy that's going to say a lot 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: of words to try to motivate. He motivates with limited 116 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: words and a lot of action. And you could see 117 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: it Rubbie nolf on other safeties like Marquise Bell who 118 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: came into the league last year, and some of these 119 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: other guys, juan Ya Thomas on the practice squad. So 120 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: this is the kind of guy not just as a player, 121 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: but as a person that you want to make, like 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Asaia said, a cornerstone of your defense. So could not 123 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: be more proud for both he and the Cowboys. So 124 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: last year, whenever free agency happened, there was a bit 125 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: of a whirlwind, and the Cowboys of course moved on 126 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: from multiple players. They had already traded Amari Cooper, so 127 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily in the fold, but they had to 128 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: resign multiple players on both side of the football. And 129 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: we'll get to some of the other reports here in 130 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: just a little bit, but there was a list that 131 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys needed to get two of three of these 132 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: names taken care of. On the offensive side of the football, 133 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: the list last year was Gallop, Cedric Wilson, Noah Brown. 134 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: Those are the three. They were all receivers. It just 135 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: happened to work out that way. They retained two of those, 136 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop, Noah Brown. On the defensive side of the football, 137 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: it was Randy Gregory, Doran's Armstrong, Layton Vanderesh. They retained 138 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: two of those guys and Doran's Armstrong Laton Vanderesh, each 139 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: of which having a great year. If we had to 140 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: make an offensive list of three names and a defensive 141 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: list of three names that you think the Cowboys have 142 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: to resign. What would those lists look like. Would Donovan 143 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: Wilson be on the defensive list? I think absolutely tops 144 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: the defensive list. Lv's probably on that list too. So 145 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: there's two of our three names defensively. Who are some 146 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 1: of the other free agent names patrick that you feel 147 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: like maybe is on that list? I'm gonna write it. 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Jonathan Hankins. Okay, 149 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jonathan Hankins, and I know that, 150 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: and there's value in a guy like Dante Fowler, and 151 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: that's one as well, because I'm split between I could 152 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: go with either Dante Follower or Jonathan Hankins. I would 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: love to have both. But if you're asking just three 154 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: and I just gave you two, Donovan Wilson lve that 155 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: holds me to a third. I'm going to lean more 156 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: towards Jonathan Hankins because while I know that Dante Fowler 157 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: has a lot of value on what he can provide. 158 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't miss a single game last season, 159 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: and he was great rotationally applying pressure, disrupting, getting sacks. 160 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: But I would also like to see more of Sam 161 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: Williams as well. I think the Cowboys and dan Quinn 162 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: can work that out. But I know for a fact 163 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: also that the Cowboys run defense cannot afford to take 164 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: a step back. If anything, it still needs to upgrade 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: just a bit. And in saying that, you can't allow, 166 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, a guy like Hankins out of the building. 167 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: You sent a pick to the Las Vegas Raiders last 168 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: season to get him in. You saw immediately happened when 169 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: you plopped that big body into that into that nose 170 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: tackle position. That interior defense became very difficult to run 171 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: against in the A and B gaps. You saw what 172 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: happened when Hankins had a little bit of an injury 173 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: late in December and he was absent, the run defense 174 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of took a step back. I think Jonathan Hankins 175 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: can be retained on a fairly reasonable deal. I think 176 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: he likes it here with dan Quinn, I think that 177 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: that's that's who I would aim for saying that's my 178 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: three if I have to say one, two, three, Donovan 179 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: LV and Jonathan Hankins, a couple other defensive names just 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: to kind of make it a list here. Anthony Brown's 181 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: also all possibility. Anthony Barrum going from there. Up, Carlos Watkins. 182 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: That's an under undervalued guy right there. That's pretty much it. 183 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: And Louke Gifford. And Gifford of course, he's gone reportedly 184 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: with the Titans on a two year deal. I believe 185 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: two years four million him for him, yeah, yeah, yeah, 186 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: he was a course speci actually, I think it's five 187 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: million total. Course special team with the Cowboys. Started to 188 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: show some defensive legs um when the Cowboys needed some 189 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: linebacker help. Lost Lve for a few games last season, 190 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: Damon Clark was still trying to come into his own. 191 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: Anthony barr had that hamstring injury that cost him multiple games. 192 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: Louke Gifford became one of those guys that put some 193 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: stuff on film and it worked out for him in 194 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: this free agency. So shouts out to Louke Gifford, this 195 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: big shout out. That's awesome, man. I think the only 196 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: other name on there I said that you could possibly 197 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: put on the list of three with Layton Vanderesh and 198 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson is probably Anthony Brown, right, Yeah, ab abe'sn't 199 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: there with me, So I'm going to in term of 200 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: guys that you have to bring back, I'm saying Vanderesh, 201 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Hankins, and I'm gonna go Anthony Brown. 202 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: So you go with Hankins as well. Yes, okay, unless 203 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: you're I mean, unless you're planning Hankins, I mean, unless 204 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: you're planning on going to get the big Gargantua and 205 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: that just got released, um from Baltimore. I mean yeah. So, 206 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean, that's way more true. And 207 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: I would love to see what Callias has as far 208 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: as kicking the tires exact too, but I know what 209 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: Hankins has. Yeah, so sure I wouldn't try trade that 210 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: on a tire. Yeah, traded that off. Yeah, of course. 211 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: So your list would be Hankins Brown And you said 212 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: LV So Wilson wasn't on your top three list. Oh, 213 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, well he's gone. He's here now. Oh. I know. 214 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to check the boxes. I'm trying I'm trying 215 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: to see play along guys. We're trying to we're trying 216 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: to see what they're doing on the other side. I'm 217 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: past that already. I'm sorry. He's like yeah, in the book. So, 218 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean If that's the case, then I'm gonna go 219 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: Donal I'm gonna go Donal Ab and Hankins. Okay, I 220 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: think I'm with you. Yeah, I think I'm I would 221 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: say LV Wilson and Hankins mostly because I mean, I'm 222 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: looking at this draft class too, and this is a 223 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: really good class of corners. I think there's multiple cornerbacks 224 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: in the first three rounds that will start next year 225 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: that are going to be available for the Cowboys. Yeah, 226 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: and you had the emergence of a guy like yeah, 227 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Dron Bland that came in and played well. I agree. 228 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: I just think that I mean, obviously you're hoping that 229 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: he comes back healthy, you know, and able to still 230 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: do the things he was able to do prior to injury. 231 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that you have to obviously 232 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: caution and see where he's add in that rehabilitation phase. 233 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: But in terms of trusting the training staff, if they 234 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: say that he's going to be a goal I think 235 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: he's a guy that you have to bring back. I 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: think it's too hard in this league to find good corners, 237 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's a toss up. I mean, there there 238 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: might be a lot of talent out there. But the 239 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: reality is a lot of corners don't stick. So he 240 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: is one guy that is stuck. He's showing you what 241 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: he's capable of doing. He's tenacious, he's a little pest, 242 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: and he's what you need on this defense side of 243 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: the ball. You look at somebody big Hankins. You saw 244 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: to your point, you saw what he did when he 245 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: came in. As long as he's healthy, he had a 246 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: huge impact there. Um. He's a big body. But you 247 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: know a big body forward that um that you have 248 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: to have on the front line. And you like to 249 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: obviously add an additional piece there so that you have 250 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: a rotational guy. Um, so you're not just solely dependent 251 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: on him and his health. UM. But I think he's 252 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: one guy you have to bring back. And then in 253 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: terms of it at the second level, obviously bars out there, 254 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: vander esh is there. I think that those are two 255 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: guys that are not sarily dominant, that are possibly their 256 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: production is possibly replaceable. We all obviously know both of 257 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: those guys are sure tacklers, but they're neither one of 258 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: them are the most mobile guys in the world. So 259 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: you other ask Dan Quinn, what is your defense at 260 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: the second level. What are you trying to have that 261 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: look like you want big box guys that really just 262 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: come downhill and can make sure they get a tackle, 263 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: or you want some guys that have some range. That's 264 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: where it really start figuring out what that second level 265 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: linebacker position looks like. Yeah, I agree, I can't state enough. 266 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: And I've defended and we have defended Layton Vanderish against 267 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: just some unjustifiable criticism, and I understand some of the justifier. 268 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I was going to say, I understand that the injury concerns, Now, 269 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: that's justifiable injury concerns going into twenty twenty three, twenty 270 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: twenty two, I should say, but there was a certain 271 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: event horizon that was crossed at some point I'd say 272 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: prior to mid season where it's like, okay, his level 273 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: of play, it's most certainly reminiscent of what he did 274 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: as a rookie with the Cowboys. So then the only 275 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: concern was can he continue to do that from a 276 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: durability standpoint. The pinched nerve in his shoulder notwithstanding, which 277 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: didn't cost him, you know, six seven games, and the 278 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: Cowboys if it was a situation where they were in 279 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs, he would have played through that. They were 280 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: basically being you know, cautious and deliberate and arresting him 281 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: in late December to make sure that he was available 282 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. But I'm I'm on a limb saying 283 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: that pinched nerve in his shoulder. I'm not going to 284 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: put that toward any type of durability issue. For the 285 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: most part, he had a great season. Production wise, he 286 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: had a fantastic season. I don't see how you replace 287 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Elvee unless you're going after the guy that lives in 288 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. That I would be completely fine with. And 289 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: obviously that's no knock to LV, because I just spent 290 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, twenty seven seconds praising the guy. But objectively speaking, 291 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would say they would if you 292 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: had a shot at the guy that lives in Los 293 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: Angeles and in taking that shot might cost you LV. 294 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm fine with taking that shot. But if you can't 295 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: land that guy in Los Angeles and you lose out 296 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: on LV, your linebacker corpse is in. It is in. Yeah, 297 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: it's a problem. Yeah, you're O for two in that regard. 298 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of shocked to hear you say that 299 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: specifically because you talk about tread on the tires. Give 300 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: me LV all day, even with the injury passed. Give 301 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: me LVE in that in that scenario all day. Now, 302 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: if they don't get l V and they want to 303 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: go try and sign him, I'm all for it, but 304 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: I would rather have fifty five here here. As far 305 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: as Trede goes, you're absolutely correct. But let's let's contextualize 306 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: it for a second. If you look at the season 307 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: that the guy in Los Angeles is coming off of, 308 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: so he has less trid than l agewise number of 309 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: reps in the league, but he's still performing at a 310 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: very high level. So that balances out for me and 311 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: falls on the side of me being able to say 312 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: that is an upgrade. Now, it's definitely an upgrade for 313 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: twenty three and maybe even twenty four. Now, beyond twenty four, 314 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: you probably start leaning more towards LVE because youth comes 315 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: into play and then you're going to get more years 316 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: out of LV. So yeah, you'll cross that event horizon eventually. 317 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: But if we're talking about right now, right now, the 318 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: guy in LA is probably one of only two outside linebackers. 319 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: When I say outside linebackers, I mean linebackers outside of 320 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: the building that I would be comfortable and saying, you know, 321 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm willing to lose LV for this guy, but if 322 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: you can't get that particular guy, then you gotta give 323 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: you gotta give me LV, you gotta give me LV. 324 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you just lost some depth in Luke Gifford. 325 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: And I know those are two entirely different things. But 326 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: if you lose LVE, you lose Luke Gifford. We're all 327 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: in on Deman Clark. Everyone on this panel is all 328 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: in on Damon Clark. But Anthony Barr still a free agent, 329 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: so you don't know what you're getting from jibreel Cox 330 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: Just yeah, uh, you got guys like Devin Harper, you're 331 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: trying to develop on the practice squad, Malik Jefferson, you're 332 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: trying to bring up on the practice squad, but without 333 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: l V and without that guy in LA or something 334 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: similar your linebacker corps and shambles agreed. Yeah, and on 335 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: the same page. I'm on the same bag. I mean, 336 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: you know who, you know what, that's you know what, 337 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: that's your guy. Yeah, that's my guy. So I mean 338 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: LA that we're talking about, Yeah, the guy that lives 339 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. We can't say names for those of 340 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: you wondering. So that's why I worked. But I mean, 341 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: so obviously I like him. There's two LA teams. Yeah, yeah, 342 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: obviously I like him. Obviously, he um, he's he's feared 343 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: in the league. I think at what he does, I 344 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: just worry. I mean, he's thirty two, I get it, 345 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: I get it, but about to be thirty three. So 346 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: much the season he had a great year, don't work. 347 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: So that tells me this, there's a great season eleven 348 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: hundred snaps regardless of who's playing at the second level. 349 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: For what else, Cowboys, regardless, you have to retain Hankins, 350 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: and you have to add somebody, and you have to 351 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: add another guy, because no matter who you put it, 352 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: the second level guarantee. What we saw a couple of 353 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: years ago was what if you don't have guys up front, 354 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: they're gonna get to the second level. Yeah, and it 355 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you have at the second level, they're 356 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna get Molly WAPs. Okay, so you need some big 357 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: boys up front to prevent those linemen from getting up 358 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: to your second level. Guys, all the people that we're 359 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: talking about are fully capable of coming down him and 360 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: making tackles, no question. Yeah, So are we in agreeance 361 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: our defensive list? Our three names you gotta retain. At 362 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: least two of these names is Lvee Wilson's Hankins. But 363 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: lv is interchangeable with a linebacker that's not on the 364 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: open market, good one in particular. So we've got defense 365 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: taken care of. So there's yeah. So we've got defense 366 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: taken care of. When we come back on the other 367 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: side of the break, we're gonna take a look at 368 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: the offensive list. I want to see if we can 369 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: find three names the Cowboys should retain, because one of 370 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: them is already gone. We'll tell you who that is 371 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: and what they could possibly be doing next when we 372 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: come back right after this.

Uh, let's talk about the 426 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. We just gave our defensive list. 427 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: We already retained one player, Donovan Wilson coming back to 428 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys reportedly four or three years twenty four million. 429 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: So the other two names that were on the defensive 430 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: list lv and Hankins. Of course, there has been no 431 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: leeway or any report around what they're doing in free agencies. 432 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: So let's turn to the offensive side of the football. 433 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: One name already out on his way to Buffalo three years, 434 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: twenty two point three million dollars. The starting left guard 435 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: for much of the season, Connor McGovern, is on his 436 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: way out there. He earned it, No, he did, he 437 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: absolutely did. And I put out the tweet yesterday I 438 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: think Connor McGovern was undervalued as a Dallas cowboy. He 439 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: was a good, serviceable starting offensive lineman, which is tough 440 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: to come by, and offensive lineman do not grow on trees. 441 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Good offensive lineman don't grow, especially with his versatility. I 442 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: think it's missed, especially on an offensive line that needed 443 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: versus y these last two years. I think he was 444 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: undervalued as a Dallas cowboy. With that being said, I 445 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: don't think that number would have worked here. Correct three 446 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: years twenty three million will not say what's happening, not 447 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen, wasn't happening no now And from mcgoverning looking 448 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: at it from his standpoint, uh, this is his first 449 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: real chance, said, landing a big payday, and he had 450 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: to look in the mirror and ask himself, especially with 451 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: the emergence of Tyler Smith. And you know Tyrn Smith 452 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: likely back. That's still being worked out as far as 453 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: a potential restructure. But if it's if Tyrn Smith returns 454 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: as as as expected he will, then that possibly moves 455 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith to left guard. And it's just too many 456 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: question marks. If you're Connor mcgoverned and you're sitting there 457 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: assessing your your value when what's out there on the market, 458 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: you resigning in Dallas might make you a fullback, and 459 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't see how that would be enticing to Connor 460 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: mcgoverned coming from a start and left Cord full million down. Yeah, 461 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: to play often of line, probably full time at eleven 462 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: front of Josh Ellen eleven. Of that guaranteed, you can 463 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: pay me twenty four million dollars to be a full back, 464 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: to be a card holder, twenty four million dollars. That's 465 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: what he went. That's what you play your whole career for. 466 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: He learned in a really good spot with great money. 467 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Great money and a good spot. We think. Think about 468 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: this his entire contract in Dallas, since he was drafted 469 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: in the third round from twenty nineteen till he was 470 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: done and signed yesterday or agreed to sign yesterday. Three 471 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: point six million dollars is what he earned. His guarantee 472 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: at signing for this contract is nine point nine. His 473 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: signing bonus swoop, his signing bonus is eight. That's a 474 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: great deposit. He will double his entire Cowboys career earnings 475 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: deposit straight off the bat. So congratulations to Connor mcgart 476 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: shot out absolutely earned it. He's always and I mean 477 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: peeked behind the curtain. He was always as good as 478 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: they come in the locker room. He was great with us, 479 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: he was great with fans, he was great with the 480 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: coaching staff. He's the guy you liked to try and retain. 481 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: Did not get it. That wasn't gonna happen here. I 482 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: love seeing guys get what they worked their whole lives for, 483 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: and he got it.

I still want to see a deal. They 497 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: want to see a deal. Everybody want to see a deal, 498 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: A deal will get done. Okay. I don't think that 499 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be stubborn in that regard. I don't think 500 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: Dall's not gonna play on the tag. Yeah, and Dallas 501 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: is not gonna trying to play hardball with him. So 502 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of opers. They want to 503 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: listen to the cap hit. They don't want to exactly. 504 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: Ten point one is not a big deal, but it 505 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: could be a smaller deal if you get into correct. 506 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: So now Tony Polars checked off. Okay, Tony Polars there, 507 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, Okay, t Y Hilton still has tread 508 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: on them tires. Okay, I don't know who our tire 509 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: sponsor is, so I'm not gonna say. His name is 510 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: thirty three years old. At thirty three years old, he 511 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: was booty butt naked open the whole entire last game. 512 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: He was what booty butt naked, glistening naked, that's official, 513 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: glistening naked. He just wasn't getting the opportunities when the 514 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: ball came his way. He got the ball when guys 515 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: were in front of him, He ran past guys when 516 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: guys were when he required to come out the break, 517 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: he came out the break. It was, what booty, But 518 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: make it open, bring the man back. You don't have 519 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: to pay him a whole lot of money. There's nobody 520 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: beating down his doors right now trying to get him 521 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: to come sign a big boy contract. So whatever, he's 522 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: gonna go sign for it elsewhere. He would much rather 523 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: like to just stay here. Sure, Okay, he knows the 524 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: system now. Okay, well thirty percent might change. But other 525 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: than that, get the man back in the building, can compete. Yeah. Um, 526 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: I'm hard pressedon you know, no knock to any of 527 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: the of the in house offensive free agents. Here's here's 528 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: a list, by the way, let's just rattle. Dalton Schultz 529 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: followed by Jason Peters. We missed c. J. Goodwin on 530 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: the back side. Well, that's because he's a core special 531 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: special teams guy right on the defensive side of the ball. 532 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: H Noah Brown, special teams, got it, free it Yeah, 533 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Noah Brown, Cooper, rush, t Y Hilton, Rico Dowdle. Those 534 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: are the offensive names. Okay, so Tony Pollard that tops 535 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: the list. Ranchise tag done, chick um work that deal 536 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: out Dalton shots He has shown production. And I said 537 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: last season that when Dak Prescott returned from injury that 538 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: you'd see Dalton Shows re emerge, and that's exactly what happened. 539 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: That being said, I think it's time to see what 540 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson and pay him shot can do. You have 541 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: a lot of leverage there as a team, as a 542 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: coaching staff. Those young guys showed you they can make 543 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: an immediate impact and they can do it at a 544 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: much lower cost than what dont Shows is probably going 545 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: to command on a free agency market, so he's not 546 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: going to be one of my top three. Cooper Rush 547 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: A lot of leve for Cooper Rush. We gave him 548 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: a lot of flowers. Held one of my science labs 549 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: this past season was dedicated to giving him flowers. I'm 550 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: also interested, though, in seeing what Will Greer can be. 551 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: I know that in US covering training Camp and Oxner, 552 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: Will Grier, I think it's safe to say had the 553 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: lead on Cooper Rush and being QB two joy. He 554 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: suffered the injury in August slowed him, Dak Prescott and 555 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: went down. Cowboys had to go with the tried and 556 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: true hand, which is Cooper Rush. But for my money, 557 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: it's Will Greer plus draft a quarterback to develop and 558 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: let them battle it out behind Dak Prescott. So we'll 559 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: see how that goes. Jason Peters, I like to have 560 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: him back as the offensive line tries to figure yourself out. 561 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: But and I hear that he's open to returning that 562 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: forty one, But as far as must have, he's not 563 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: in that same air as like a Tony Pollitt from 564 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. Yes, yes, yes, and yes um. I 565 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: was in on t t Y Hilton over OBJ prior 566 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: to hearing reports that OBJ wants twenty million dollars. So 567 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: if I was in, then I'm more in now. Bring 568 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: me t Y third and third and forever called t Y. 569 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: That's what I'm in. So t Y and Tony Polter 570 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: are kind of my only two. I don't necessarily have 571 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: a third. Noah Brown and Rico Dowdle. I know, I 572 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: believe Rico dowdo went healthy is better right now. The 573 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: Malitte Davis problem is Rico Dowdle can't consistently remain healthy 574 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: for whatever reason these past couple of seasons. Yeah. Um, 575 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: Noah Brown. I can't say enough about Noah Brown's grit, 576 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: his dedication to get his hands dirty and do whatever 577 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys need. But after seeing what he steps back 578 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: that he took when Dak Prescott returned to the field, 579 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: because he was going he was going crazy when his 580 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: When Cooper Rush was there, they got a connection. The 581 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: connection between Noah in depth wasn't necessarily there. So I'm 582 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: more inclined to lean towards Noah as a special teamer, 583 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: which in that case, I can't put him in the 584 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: same air as a t Y Y Tony Pollard. So 585 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: really of the offensive free agents only got too So yeah, 586 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is that it's a significant drop off offensively. 587 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: I mean defensive that's three starters LV, Wilson, Hankins, and 588 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: you can even throw Anthony Brown in there. That's where 589 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: there's attention has been the last few years on the 590 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: defensive side. But on the offensive side, it's Pollard, Who's 591 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: you're starting running back. He's your RB one if you 592 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: especially when you tag him, then there's a significant drop off. 593 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: You're talking about t Y Hilton and I agree his 594 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: return would be a good thing for this football team, 595 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: especially through an entire training camp and all the way 596 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: through a season. I think he'd be great, But he's 597 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: still your third or fourth option at wide receiver. He's 598 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: not a next level game changer. He can come in 599 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: and make a game change and play, but he's not 600 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: a game changer himself, not anymore. Anyway, I could agree 601 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: with it, so I I agree retain him. I'm cool 602 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: with it. But that's a super big drop all this 603 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: between the roles that those two guys would play. So 604 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: is that where the Cowboys need to spend? Does that 605 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: set up the question of this week and next week 606 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: offensive side of the football, that's where it's got to 607 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: be absolutely absolutely no. Outside Hell yeah, you know my thing. 608 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I think they need to invest in office A line 609 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here watching all these officers A linement 610 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: fly off the board and I'm just like, look at 611 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: those prices. Yeah, but that's what do I say? You 612 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: see Dallas like check, but you see Lynstrom, I hear 613 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: he deserves it. Yes, he deserves it because he's a dog. 614 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: My word, I understand. But when you want the grave, 615 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: that's fair. When you want my word, and listen, when 616 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: you want some guys that move them dirt, you better 617 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: go pay for the equipment. You see. That's what Kansas 618 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: City's doing, right, You see Kansas City, Kis at Denver, 619 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City. All these guys, right, I mean, these guys 620 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: are sharing up there, like you can't do anything product predictive, 621 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: I don't know productive on offense unless you got the 622 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: big boys up front. You can get all the all 623 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: the receivers, all the running backs, you can get an 624 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: amazing quarterback, you can get all that you want to. Ultimately, 625 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Every player, you gotta block, whether 626 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: you're blocking the pass or whether you're blocking the run. 627 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: So blocking comes first. All the other guys come second 628 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: in my head. So I'm hoping that Dallas goes out 629 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: and get some dudes that are still available. But you're 630 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 1: seeing guys every single day come off that list. Guards tackles, right, 631 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: don't We don't need tackles necessarily, but guards and centers 632 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: come on. Now, that's about say where are you putting 633 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: them centers? Right now? You have three tackles. You have 634 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, which he is a restricted free agent. We 635 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: can maybe throw him into the maxis of retaining retainable guy. Likely, 636 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: but I've positioned it for weeks that they're going to 637 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: tender him. It will likely be a second round tender. 638 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: Will know officially on tomorrow when the league gear opens. 639 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: But I just don't know that the team is comfortable. 640 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: This is my speculation. I just don't know that the 641 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: team is comfortable doing a long term deal just with 642 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: him coming off of that torn ACL. So that deal 643 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: might take a while. They've learned their lesson right, that 644 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: deal might take a while to happen, which creates a 645 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: question mark at right tackle, not just in twenty twenty three, 646 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: but in four. Yeah, and then Tyler biadis he's entering 647 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: a contract year. You're starting center. If you're not breaking 648 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: back Terren Steeles, if you're if you're not bringing back 649 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: Terren steel if you're gonna not if it's a first 650 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: round of ten. Offensive line isn't rebuild modes minus Zach Martin, 651 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: they one percent are in rebuild mode. The teams that 652 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: what please name the teams that are in our conference, 653 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: the conference or sorry, in our in our division. Sorry, 654 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: my apologises. Eagles commanders, James okay, were they specialized out 655 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: on defense? All three teams defensive line, defensive line? How 656 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: many games that twice a year? Right? Each of those are? 657 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: How many games out of your seventeen game? Six? Six 658 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 1: of your seventeen games or against defensive lines that you 659 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: really can't just manhandle. You might want to address that 660 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: fair enough. You might want to address that because you 661 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: get six of your games a third over a third 662 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: of your games that you're gonna play, you have to 663 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: face these guys and as of right now, they dominate you. Yeah, 664 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: all three of them. Yeah, you might want to share 665 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: that up. There's gonna be a lot of pressure on 666 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: some of the younger guys on the offensive line to 667 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: kind of step up. And these are guys who've shown 668 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: some promise. So you talk about a guy like Matt 669 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: will Let's go for example, if not for the injury, 670 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: I think Matt will Let's Go is a key contributor 671 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: last season when the Cowboys would have needed him most 672 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: across that offensive line. Um, you started to see a 673 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: little bit of the needle pointing north on a guy 674 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: like Avellant Collins. I like him, Yeah, I like Aviana's 675 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: He's a he's a dog. Yeah that that horn frog 676 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: knows how to get after he's a dog. So the 677 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: guys have and I have to say that because he 678 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: and I we kind of poke fonde each other dogs TCU. 679 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys going forward. You know, even if they 680 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: retain Tyrn Smith as as expected, um dropped Tyler Smith, 681 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: maybe down the left guard Terrence Steele is an RFA. 682 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: Isn't going to be a long term deal, is it not? 683 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Biadas? Can you lock him up early? Are you 684 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: going to say, let's try to find out the center? 685 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: You got Lindstrom's brother here, right, Alec is here right 686 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: out of Boston College. Can Alec come in and contribute 687 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: as an interior swing offensive lineman. It feels like the 688 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys are looking at their young guys on the offensive 689 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: line and saying, we believe that you're going to take 690 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: the next step forward. That can Your question scares me 691 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: about one particular player the others I see some potentially 692 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 1: there's one particular guy whose last name rhymes with call 693 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: that I would prefer not Doball. Yeah, okay, I would 694 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: that on that particular player. I would prefer to not 695 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: see trying to protect that Prescott. Everybody else I'm willing 696 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: to see. But to your point, however you address it, 697 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: it has to be addressed. Cowboys offensive line. When we 698 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: come back Martin is in rebuilding. Yeah, when we come 699 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: back from the from the break.

Yeah. They like to go through the guys 757 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: that are left after the first week. It's okay, well, 758 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: they focus they focused on trying to keep their their guys. 759 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: Get it, I get it. We just talked about it 760 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: though offensively there's help. Okay. So, um, if you're going 761 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: to spend big on one free agent, what position would 762 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: it be for m outside of the building, outside of 763 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: this building, please, it's on the offenside of the ball now, 764 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Um m hmmm, huh. Because as far as 765 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: offensive line, we talk about that at NAUGA. So I 766 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: think that's the obvious, right, But the question becomes at 767 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: this point, as as these days roll along, are there 768 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: going to be any offensive linemen available in outside free 769 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: agency that you would be willing to pay, Not necessarily 770 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: a premium because it'd be the second tertiary waves, but 771 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: pay a solid dollar two that you feel that they're 772 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: going to come in and instantly just make everything you're saying. 773 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: You're saying all those guys at the offensive linement position 774 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: have take the top offensive linement. If they've not been 775 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: taken yesterday by the time this week is overs, out 776 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: there by the time this week is over, that is 777 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: going to dwindle, might be gone by the end of 778 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: the right. So then that leaves you they're not white 779 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: receivers though. That market just started moving this morning. Yes, 780 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: it just there was no wide receiver movement in day one. 781 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: The numbers and the names of these wide receivers aren't 782 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: they're they're not sexy. I mean they're not they're not 783 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: big time names. I mean, Jakobe Myers was the names 784 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: that offensive side right offense. Okay, we've still going with 785 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: the offensive line, I am. I mean now a lot 786 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: of these guys are tackles, which I can make it work. 787 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown, you have tackles, Taylor Lwant. That's what I'm saying. 788 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: I can work. I'm inside of you. Get absolutely site 789 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: to slide down. Donovan Smith. Um, I'm looking again. I 790 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: don't see any interior guys. Really, the interiors drawn up. 791 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: Graham Glasgow from Denver, he's probably somebody that you could 792 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: look at. Rodney Hudson from Arizona. He's getting He's he's 793 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: thirty three. Their names there, the wide receiver names just 794 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: they don't jump out at me. I mean, are you 795 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: gonna go get Adam Feeling? I mean yeah, but you're 796 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to spend You're gonna have to spend a 797 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 1: decent amount there. This is the first team outside of 798 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: Minnesota that he's been on hill probably his production has 799 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: substantially dwindles. No, you're right, Robbie Anderson. No, I mean 800 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: that's the that's those are the top two names on 801 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: the wide receiver list outside of Ode. Can make an 802 00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: argument for Juju? Uh, show me the number that's fair, 803 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: show me that. So before you shake your head, please 804 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: don't we said big money. We said big money. Questions questions, Okay, 805 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: So then no, I can't. I can't make the big 806 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: money argument for Yeah. I can't make the big money 807 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,439 Speaker 1: argument for Juju. So fair enough. If you're saying big money, 808 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: then I can't make it. Maybe he'll take your saying 809 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: reasonable money. Then I could make the argument for he'll 810 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: take a pay cut to come take it to Philly, 811 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: like like being said the back, Yeah, just to go 812 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: out it. Guys are done taking pay cuts. Guy, I 813 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: know I'm living. I feel like the obvious answer to 814 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: the question is offensive line. But the problem with that 815 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: being the answer is that you don't necessarily have a 816 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: direction to go there that would be palatable financially for 817 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because by the time it becomes palatable for them, 818 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: which is going to be date four or five, six, 819 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: seven and onward. The names that would have been able 820 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: to that you could have dropped into this offensive line 821 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: say boom. So you're saying there, so you're saying it 822 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,439 Speaker 1: moved too slow. I didn't say that. I'm just saying 823 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: that by the time they are ready to move in 824 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: that capacity, those guys are what they had the same 825 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: opportunity as the rest of the league though, right they did. Okay, 826 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: So that's just different, different motive operation, philosophy, different motive operation. 827 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: They're focused on keeping back. But let's rewind. Let's rewind 828 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: to day one. Rewind, rewind to day one. Okay, free agency. 829 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: What position are you spending on m day day one day? 830 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: Offensive line? What position? Guard? Yeah? Give me, give me 831 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: a big beefy guard. Yeah. Okay. The only guards that 832 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: have gone off the tab off so yeah, only table. 833 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 1: The only guards that have gone off the table. Ben 834 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: Powers Baltimore signed by Denver. Nate Davis Tennessee signed by Chicago. 835 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: Outside of that, I mean Nick Gates, who was ah, 836 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 1: I mean he got less money than even a Connor 837 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: mcgoverned guy. I mean those are the two names, the 838 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: two starting names that you probably could have gotten for 839 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: big money. I mean, it would have been big money spending, 840 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: but it would have been the input guys there. I 841 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: still think there are impact guys that question on the market. Okay, 842 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: do you I know we gotta get ready to get 843 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: out here? Do you guys worry about that position group, 844 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: especially knowing the philosophy that McCarthy is trying to establish 845 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: at you mentioning West Coast ball out quick. He wants 846 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: to run the ball, He's no secret about that. He 847 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: wants to run the ball. He wants to be able 848 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: to control the line of scrimmage and control the game 849 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: clock and give his defense rest and simply just just 850 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: handle you on an offensive front. Yes, I am worried 851 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: about it. I am too, Yes, because and here's the thing. 852 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: You could give me a starting five to start the season, right. 853 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: You can give me that starting five where it's Terrence Steals, 854 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: Zach Martin, Tyler biatt As, Tyler Smith, Tyrn Smith. Give 855 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: me that starting five, and I'm all right, right, I 856 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. Those are the five guys 857 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: until Tyrn goes down. Then what do you do? Then 858 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: it all gets blown up? And guess what Tyrant's going 859 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: down might be before the season starts. Again. I mean, 860 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: he's played in seventeen games of the last three seasons. Right, 861 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: give me, give me stability, give me something offensive line 862 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: wise that you can rely on. I think Tyrand Smith's 863 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: a hell of a player. He always has been, and 864 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: then when he's healthy, he's still fantastic. Even when he 865 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: slid over the right tackle and he had his ups 866 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: and downs. Still believed in him. But do I believe 867 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 1: in his health and do I believe in his durability? No, correct, 868 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't, And that's fair, And I think that's just 869 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: a realistic take on it. So assuming which is not 870 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: a safe assumption, assuming Tyrant Smith can give you at 871 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: least half the season, I think recent history dictates that 872 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: he'd likely won't give you a full seventeen plus, So 873 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna miss it for several games for whatever reason 874 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: that might be. See I hate being happy about having 875 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,399 Speaker 1: him for only half a season, though, Like that's where 876 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: I have the problem. Fair, but given the current state 877 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: of affairs on the offensive line, it's better than not 878 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: having him at all. Agree, Because if for whatever reason, 879 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: Tyring is not back in the building, which again it's 880 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: expected that he will be, but we're speaking hypothetically. If 881 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 1: he's not back in the building. You want to talk 882 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: about a position group being in shambles, we were talking 883 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 1: about the linebackers, your offensive line. Holy crap, right, absent tyring. 884 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: You don't know what's going on with Peters. Even if 885 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: you do, it is its position. I get it. Get 886 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: to be addressed and aggressively. My own point is, I 887 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: think those guys that will be able to let you 888 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: be able to drop in and say ka boom. But 889 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: that's why we're solid. But that's why I'm so flying off. 890 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: That's why I'm so frustrated. That's why I'm so frustrated. 891 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: Myself and Nate Newton have been beyond freshtrated because it's 892 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: like I understand that Dallas, within their typical philosophy, doesn't 893 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: like the overspin for players or spin too much for 894 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: a position. Listen here, man, if you want to do 895 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: what you used to do at the line of scrimmage, 896 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,879 Speaker 1: you had to have because the opportunity is most likely gone, 897 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: right unless they pull out some miraculous trade or something 898 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: like that, that's still on the board. That's still on 899 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: the board. Those players are gone. Those impact come in 900 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: freaking just hogs up front. Those guys were gone. And 901 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: that's why I was frustrated. That's why I was frustrated 902 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: because I feel as if in Dallas Cowboys Nation, we 903 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: focus so much on the skill position groups yea, and 904 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: everybody forgets about what makes the dog on motor run. 905 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 1: Everybody wants the aesthetics, they want the rims, right, they 906 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: want the low profile, they want the tenant windows, you know, yeah, 907 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 1: they want they want the sound system right. But yeah, 908 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: you got no training, right, your axles are shot, right, 909 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 1: you got no rotors. But guess what, we look good? 910 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: But we look good, right, they don't want the dog. Yeah. 911 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: So that's my That's that's what I feel almost every year, 912 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And then guess what we 913 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: do and then guess what historically we're like. You know what, 914 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: I got a plug over here. They got some stuff 915 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: you know in the back, got it in the fourth 916 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 1: you know, I got some stuff in the bad sixth 917 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: round and the dust that out. Let me see if 918 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: it's still on the show that still work. It still work. 919 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: Here's part the question, and this is gonna this is 920 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: gonna say way to something Kyle does except exceptionally. Well, um, 921 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: how would you feel if they two years in a 922 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: world kind of double down on offensive line in the 923 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: first round. I'm with it. I am with it. What 924 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: do you think? I love it? I'm with and I'm 925 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: completely fine, And I honestly think that's what Dallas is 926 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: going to do. So then that would solve your solve it. 927 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, because it's still you're still a question, right, 928 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 1: it still has tails, gonna take time, fair, but it 929 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: solves the concern about addressing it with premium premium asset, 930 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: so being with top money or a first round pick 931 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: that's premium asset. So I like where you're where you're 932 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: going with this. I think that's what Dallas is going 933 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: to do. Being a McCarthy now has like full full 934 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: control quote unquote. Okay, I think they're going to address 935 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: office in line. I think they're going to do that 936 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,800 Speaker 1: in the first round. There's one guy then that's it. 937 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: That's the only guy you got. But we're Osiris Torrance 938 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 1: from Florida. That's the only first round guard that would 939 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: potentially be available. He's actually the top rated guard on 940 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: my list. But that's not a good thing. It's not 941 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: a good guard class, not a good interior offensive blind class. 942 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidtz out of Minnesota is probably the second 943 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,800 Speaker 1: name on that list. He's right there, but he's a sinner. 944 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: Well Cyrus, for those that may not know, And if 945 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: you don't know, that means you didn't listen to the 946 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: previous episode of Talking Cowboys. What are you doing when 947 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: you're like, well, Cyrus had a formal meeting with the cowboys, 948 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: so they are interested. Yeah, I think if you're if 949 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: you're Mike McCarthy, now have to take office alignment. If 950 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: you're coming out preaching about what you're about to do 951 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: offensively and about about how you want to go about 952 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: your business, you have to set a temple and set 953 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: a set forth what you're gonna do and by and 954 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 1: then you do that by going out there and grabbing 955 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 1: a guy that represents what your game plan is. We'll 956 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: see what their thirty business look like. Oh yeah, that's 957 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: that's the real interest. How many, oh il will you 958 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 1: see them? Only? We'll think about it. Last year, like 959 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: we we never even really looked at drom Bland. We 960 00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: had looked at him a little bit, we had kind 961 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: I've seen him but he was a thirty busy guy 962 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: and he kind of he was just one of the 963 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: back end guys that you thought brought in for an 964 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. Look, no, he got drafted in the 965 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: fifth round. Things like that show what they're looking for. 966 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 1: So when the thirty visits begin to come out, that's 967 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 1: when you'll really see where they're honing in on these 968 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,479 Speaker 1: draft visits. A lot of that there the combine visits. 969 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: Rather a lot of those formals are just just kicking tires. 970 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean they're interested because they met with them, and 971 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: they're at least on the list. That's what I mean. 972 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: There's at least interest. Yeah, but shows you there at 973 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: least contemplating. I wouldn't be shocked if Osiris Torrance is 974 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,879 Speaker 1: a thirty busy guy, because he might be the only 975 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: one of its. John Michael Schmidtz, they did meet formally, 976 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidtz, Real quick, what position group are they drafting? 977 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: First round? First round corner corner guard Osirius Torance. That's 978 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: your pick, then, is it? And I'm okay with that? Yeah? 979 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: If that's I'm just saying. Last year there were five names. 980 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking about Kenyon Green, Zion Johnson, 981 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum, Tyler Smith. We were talking about all these 982 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,879 Speaker 1: guys that were up at the top of the draft 983 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:11,760 Speaker 1: last year. UH, cornerback, offensive line. I'm completely and utterly 984 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: fine with those being if one of those were the 985 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 1: goal at twenty six, or if they moved up a 986 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: little bit, whatever the case may be. It might be 987 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: a wide receiver too. By the way, wide receiver, I'm 988 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: also not adverse to that. However, if we're talking running back, 989 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: there are a couple of really good wide receive I'm 990 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 1: O'm out on running Jackson Smith say. I say all 991 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:29,880 Speaker 1: that to set up my next statement, I'm out on 992 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: running back. So everyone stopped tweeting me about running back. 993 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm out on running back. I won't even make it 994 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: out of the top fifteen. It's not worth the energy. 995 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 1: It's not worth the energy to have that conversation. I don't. 996 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,720 Speaker 1: I realize it's good for you know, clicks and whatnot, 997 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,760 Speaker 1: but you know, I don't need to please no skill positions, 998 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 1: all right, So when the Cowboys draft a wide receiver, 999 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: Isaiah will do his pin throw across the room. When 1000 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 1: we come back next week, we will break down what 1001 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: else has happened in free agency, and we'll we'll try 1002 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,280 Speaker 1: and see if we can continue making some road apps. 1003 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: Any splashes you think either before next week? I think 1004 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: there will be one splash. I'm not saying it's cannonball 1005 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,879 Speaker 1: with after you had a big burger like it's great 1006 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: into the pool. Will there be a cannonball before next show? 1007 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: Before our next show? I think it will be what 1008 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: was the what's the other drive dive that makes a 1009 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: big splash? Can belly splash, belly floppy flop, billy flopp? Worst? 1010 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: I think? Can't opener? Can't opener? Can? Yeah? They can opener?
