We tried to get Will on He's like, hey, 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: let's do it right now. So usually have a guest 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: to the second segment. And we are still expecting to 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: have cornerback Deron Bland. But man, we'll start it off 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: here the guy that they pretty much drafted him a 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: smart draft in the fifth round, getting Deron Bland. But 11 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: here's Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel and 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: runs that war room in there or one of them. Sorry, 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't want to get you in trouble, get you 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 2: in trouble. You guys are collaborative. Yes, First of all, 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: house camp going so far. I mean guys seeing you know, 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: showing you stuff that you want to see. It's it's 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: very good. It's competitive. 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: You're getting to see some things about him and now 19 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: we're getting ready to play games, and that where it 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: matters to find out about the small guys. 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the young guys soft spoken. Will McClay 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 2: got to get the wake up to you soft spoken 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 2: on the mic. I've seen you when you're not sometimes. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: But it doesn't feel like the defense is kicking the 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: offens's ass or the offense kicks the defense. It feels 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 2: like there's periods where one gets the better. But that's 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: got to be healthy, right, Yeah, that's what makes us. 28 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: Uh, it's gonna make us a great team and an opportunity. 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: It's the battle between the offense and defense and the 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 3: competition and you know, iron Sharpen's iron and then let's 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: get ready to play the preseason games and figure this 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: out and figure out our fifty three. But these guys 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: are competing. 34 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: Well, always look at the rookies. We look at the 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: rookies that you guys draft and also the ones you 36 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: bring in after the drafts, because you guys have a 37 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: great track record of doing that. Can you give me 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: some guys that are standing out more than others that 39 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: you're just like, wow, we maybe didn't expect that. 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: I don't want to get into names, because there's also 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: part of the scouting dealers. I look at everybody's website 42 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: to see who they're talking about. Oh h, don't really 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: want to bring up names of what we are doing. 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: Is you know, for for a team to survive, young 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: guys have to make it because of the salary cap 46 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: and everything else. So it's about seeing the young guys, 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: how they'll compete, how they mix in with the vets, 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 3: and then how they compete that that's a big part 49 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 3: of this whole deal. And how do you build a 50 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: team with those young guys that can add something to you? 51 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: And so I can't ask you about like some seventh 52 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: round receiver pick anything that's doing well. 53 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: There's a lot of kids doing a lot of good things. 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: But the game, the games will tell the story. 55 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, so I won't I won't 56 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: talk about that. Let's talk about the last year's drafted 57 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: because those guys aren't going anywhere. We are expecting, like 58 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: I said, to get drawn played And what did you 59 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: see out of him? Fifth round? And he what a 60 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: great rookie season he had, But but what were the 61 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: traits that you saw there to take him? 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 3: You know, Dan's come in here on the defense and 63 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 3: they they go through and they tell us the type 64 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 3: of players that they're looking for, and they say, okay, 65 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: what can a guy do, and then we try and 66 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: use those strengths. So what you're looking at Doron when 67 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 3: he was coming out, he's a guy who had athleticism, 68 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: who had size, length, and had a competitive spirit and 69 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: that's a big part about it. And with him, when 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: the balls in the air, he's competing for it, and 71 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: so you got an opportunity to see that when he 72 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: got a chance to play, he was ready for it. 73 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 3: Wasn't too big for him. 74 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know he's certainly he's a guy that's 75 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: played inside outside and seems like today's with the wide receivers, 76 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: the great receivers are the ones that are lining up 77 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: inside outside. So you need cornerbacks that can mat and. 78 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: Do the same thing, that can match because you know 79 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: offenses are going to try and get their best player 80 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: moving around. See what you do defensively. The more pieces 81 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: that you have that can match with that, the better 82 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: your defenses. And that's what we strive to do. And 83 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: you know, Dan and the defense putting him in the 84 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: right position he was in. He came at the right 85 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: time for us because we lost at that point in 86 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: time a very big piece of our team in Jordan Lewis, 87 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: and you're looking for somebody to step up, and this kid, 88 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: rookie just steps up, and you know, it looks like 89 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: he'd been here for a long time. 90 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: So when you played that Rice for you an inside outside. 91 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: Because it was back in the Southwest conference days, and 92 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: people give me a hard time. I mean, there's a 93 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: picture of me with a neck brace on. You can't 94 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: play corner with a role yeah, conference I had to tackle. 95 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Like well, yeah, I like I told you the other day, 96 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: I saw a YouTube video of Rice versus Arkansas. They're 97 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: running the wishbowe. Yeah, so it's hard for you to 98 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: make a lot of my. 99 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: Coverage skills were undervalue during the time where I played. 100 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: You know, well, I'm guarantee you got tested in the 101 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: reading League because that's what they did. They threw the 102 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: ball through it around. I know you played several years 103 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: over there as we all right, well, let's let's also 104 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: talk about I know you don't want to talk specifically 105 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: about some of your guys here, but Deuce Vaughan is 106 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: a guy that's called a lot of attention. Of course, 107 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: you've known him since he was you know, in high school, 108 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: right and even before that seventh grade I think is 109 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: when you said, what with Parlor being out a couple 110 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: of days, personal reasons, Ronald Jones being out with grown injury. 111 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: He's getting some carries as a running back, not just 112 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: a niche player. He's he's getting the ball right up 113 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: the middle. 114 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: Were drafting Hi because he's a running back, you know, 115 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: and there's some things he can do. There's any thing 116 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: he's missing his height, you know, the heart, the speed, 117 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: all those things he has and he's got great, great instincts. 118 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: So that's what happens at training camp. Uh, you know, 119 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: we talk about availability. So something happens to a guy 120 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: who's gonna step up and take advantage of the reps 121 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: that they get. And he's doing a good job with 122 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: that taking those reps. And that's why we draft from 123 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: the kid can play running back. 124 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: Well you obviously don't you talk with with the Joneses 125 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: I apartment sure multiple times a day. You don't really 126 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: get into the money stuff. So the Zach Martin situations 127 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: are out of your control, but it does open doors 128 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: for other It gets you the good opportunity to see 129 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: what these backup guards are doing. 130 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: We'll give us an opportunity to evaluate. That's you know, 131 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: going back to I always say it's Darwinism. So something happens, 132 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: we need somebody to step in and and and uh, 133 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: you know, fill that voide. So we're getting an opportunity 134 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 3: to see guys and to see, you know, how they 135 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: mix and match with the players that we have, you know, 136 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: the starters. Zach's not here, but other guys are getting 137 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: the opportunity. And you know, we got to show who 138 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: if things don't work out, who's gonna be. 139 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: In the six to eight guard? Right now? What we 140 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: see and uh, and that that doesn't sound good in 141 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: that doesn't sound right in the NBA. It doesn't even 142 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: sound right in the NFL. But Josh Ball's trying to 143 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: do that. Obviously, leverage is a big deal. But is 144 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: he You like what you're seeing so far? The guy 145 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: that tall. 146 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, football is a game of leverage and angles, and 147 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: you've got to be able to play with leverage on 148 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 3: the line, and so you got to be able to bend, 149 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: which is your angles. He can do all that stuff. 150 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: He's a big, powerful athletic guy, and so we're putting 151 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: him in a position to see if he can handle it. 152 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: Well. I could probably ask you a hundred questions here 153 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: you know, all day long. Of course you don't have 154 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: time for that, so I appreciated that the time. I know, 155 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: this was last second, So we really really excited to 156 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: have you here and hopefully again sometime down during the 157 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: season we can get and get your opinion. 158 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: Always down to talk to you, all right. 159 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: That's Will McLay, the vice president of player Personnel.

So I 233 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 9: feel like I'm just trying to get my mind speed 234 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 9: back up to part so that that's nothing on the defense. 235 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 9: Knowing how offenses are attacking this in the situations. 236 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 2: Your your confidence has got to be a lot different 237 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: than it was last year.

You also have to have 248 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: a bad memory. So if you give up a play, 249 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: gotta let it go.

He's seen him a little much different than 289 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: the receiver than last year. 290 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 9: You always talked, so you always talk about how I'm 291 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 9: going to you this year, so he has the right 292 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 9: mindset this year. 293 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: So all right, all right, Brett Bender has a question 294 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: for you. Said, after a great rookie year setting the 295 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: bar high for yourself with five picks, what are the 296 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: goals do you have this year for your growth as 297 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: a player. 298 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 10: Based off last year? Hmhmm? 299 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: Got individual goals? 300 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 10: Uh? 301 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I'm trying to at least get five 302 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 9: or more, at least trying to get it, try to 303 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 9: top of that again, so I'll probably say also get 304 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 9: better at tackling the biggest things too. 305 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: So you you've played inside, played some outside. What what 306 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: is it? How tough is it to kind of go 307 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 2: back and forth? Or is it because receivers are lining 308 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: up inside and out? 309 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 9: Is it? 310 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: Is it much different when you line up inside and out? 311 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 9: At first, it was definitely hard. You know, there's different 312 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 9: views and being inside and outside. Some things on the 313 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 9: inside come quicker than they are coming outside. So at 314 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 9: first it was hard, But once you get the hang 315 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 9: of it, it's kind of easy. 316 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: All right. Here's a good one from Daniel Barnett. He said, 317 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: you know, after your success as a rookie year, are 318 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: you now you're your second year guy?

We've got two guests to start 462 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: this thing off. Man Will McLay and then Doron Bland 463 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 2: looked to thank both of them for coming by talking 464 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: about everything training, camp, competition, battling with receivers, trash talk, 465 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: all that good stuff. I told Will afterwards. I mean, 466 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: both of them are really good at talking and being 467 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: really nice with the with the answers and not seeing 468 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: a whole lot. That's that's an art. That's an art. 469 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: Romo was really good at that as well. Now, But 470 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: for Will McClay situation, I mean, what you know he was, 471 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: he was. His thing is is that he don't want 472 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: to talk about any receiver, any running by any good player, 473 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 2: because all that does is it exposes him, I guess 474 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: to other teams. But I can say right now, I 475 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: don't think Jalen Brooks is going anywhere.

Though we 489 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: use the high pick on Kelvin Joseph. Could he be 490 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: a surprise cup this year? I know he's been on 491 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: special teams. We have a bunch of young guys. I'm 492 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 2: not sure how much longer we hold on to Josel 493 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: thirty year guy. Obviously, he's had his issues off the field. 494 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: That hasn't had one and you know this year. But 495 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: I mean it's always a matter of just what does 496 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: he provide? Does he provide for you? And he's a 497 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: second round pick, so yeah, that's that's good. But you'd 498 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: like to think your second round pick would do more 499 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: than just special teams. He wasn't drafted to play special teams. 500 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: He was drafted to be a really, really good corner. 501 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 2: And you know, he has his moments there. He is 502 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: a very athletic player. He's strong, So like any player, 503 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 2: it comes down to is he the best option that 504 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: you have? I think draft status at this point out 505 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: of the wind. You know, it's out the window at 506 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: this time. I really do. I think that it's if 507 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: he's not better then Nishan Wright, Eric Scott and those guys, 508 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: then I think the Cowboys probably could move on from 509 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: him if that's what they were they want to do. 510 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure Bones Fossil would love to have him on 511 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: special teams, but I think at this point it's got 512 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: to be a little bit more than that, all right. 513 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 2: Daniel Vega from Austin, Texas. It does doesn't seem like 514 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: we've heard a lot about Jabril Cox this year. He's 515 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: not a guy that could be on the outside looking in, 516 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 2: right right. I don't think he is on the outside 517 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: looking in. I think he's a part of the plans. Again, 518 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: another draft pick that that they had some high hopes for. 519 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: He's had some injury issues, but he actually has looked 520 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: pretty good. I know, if you listen to Nate Newton, 521 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 2: who watches a lot of you know, the trenches and 522 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 2: the inside stuff, he really likes what he sees about 523 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: Jabril Cox going in there filling the gap, making plays 524 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 2: and run support, which for a smaller size linebacker. That 525 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 2: that's one of those those areas that you know can 526 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 2: can be dicey at times. Are you going to go 527 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: up and fill? And he's done a pretty good so 528 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 2: far from what we've seen in practice. Another good special 529 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: teams guy linebackers. There's not a ton of depth there. 530 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 2: I just don't see. It's an area where Jabrill Cox 531 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 2: doesn't make this team. So a good question. You know, 532 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: sometimes not being heard is a good thing. It's not 533 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: always a good thing to be like getting talked about 534 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 2: all the time. So yeah, I think that's that's good. 535 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 2: All right. Go to the text line here, George uh 536 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: in DC, he says, do you feel the starter should 537 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: play at least a couple of series during preseason games. No, 538 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't feel that way. I just don't 539 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: think they have to play hardly at all. I mean again, 540 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: I've totally changed my tune there. I just don't think 541 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: that they need to. I think an injuries injuries are 542 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: just way just the pros and cons that just it's 543 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: too much for for an Now, if you really want 544 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: to see some guys play a certain position, that's fine, 545 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 2: but that's not typically the case from your starters. So 546 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 2: so your starters that that you know are making the 547 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 2: team and and you know are going to start, I'm 548 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: not playing them. If there's a guy that could start 549 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 2: and maybe he's got he's got to win the job, 550 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: like I say a Jake Ferguson or something, then then 551 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: I'm for that because that's a good way to separate 552 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: the two. But then there's a domino effect though. It's like, well, 553 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 2: you can't say I want to play this starting running back, 554 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: but I don't want to play the offensive line, because 555 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: then you're not getting a good getting, you know, a 556 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: really good stance on anything. If if you're not you're 557 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: not seeing the running backs behind the first team line 558 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: and all that, so they kind of kind of go 559 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 2: hand in hand. Another question, the speaking of running back 560 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: to another question, I'll stick with George from DC doubles up. 561 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: He says, what do you guys think of the chances 562 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 2: of Zach Martin retiring this year? Where he says retiring 563 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: in general. Yeah, I think there's one hundred per cent 564 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 2: chances he's going to retire at some point in his 565 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: career this year. I don't think that if you were 566 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: gonna do that, I mean, I don't know, do you 567 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: get your money back? I mean, because you're holding out now, 568 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: you're not moved over to the list. But I mean, 569 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: if you were gonna do that, maybe you just retire, 570 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: you know, getting you know, getting the eight hundred thousand 571 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: dollars fine and counting. I don't think that's happened. That's 572 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: not what the stance is. The stance is to make 573 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: more money. When you make more money because you're playing. 574 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: I think he's thinking about it, but not not right now, 575 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: not this year. All right, let's gona keep going. 576 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 4: M J. 577 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: Stewart, Any chance Will Greer beats out Cooper Rush for 578 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: the number two job? What has to happen for that, Yeah, 579 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: it could happen. Will Greer plays a lot better than 580 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush in the preseason games they're both gonna play. 581 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Dak's not gonna play. There's only three quarterbacks, 582 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 2: so those two guys are gonna play a lot. One 583 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: guy's gonna have to play considerably better than the other. 584 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 2: If it's even Cooper Rush that keeps it. If it's close, 585 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 2: Cooper Rush keeps it. Will Greer is gonna have to 586 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: be head and shoulders better than Cooper Rush to probably 587 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: be the number two quarterback. And to do that, you're 588 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: gonna have to play, you know, with with the with 589 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: those guys, with those starters, or at least core players. 590 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: So the Cowboys are going to have to decide if 591 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: that's what they want to do, all right, Looking for 592 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 2: some more questions here on the text line, Uh, this 593 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 2: one's just from a two five to four number. Phillip Jackson. 594 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: He said, with a new faster Texas Coast offense, what 595 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: are the chances we see more two back sets? I 596 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: think that would create a lot of problems for defenses. Yeah, 597 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: I mean, especially if Deuce is involved there, Deuce being 598 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: one of the backs. I mean, that's gonna be just 599 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: a kind of a weird dynamic for for defenses in general, 600 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna have to figure out how to stop him. So, 601 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: uh yeah, I definitely think that you could see some 602 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: two backs there. Don't know if it's going to be. 603 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 2: I couldn't see like a Moleak and Pollard, but it's 604 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: got to be another back that does some dynamic things. 605 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: All right, Cowboy Life for twelve. Do you remember when 606 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: Turpin had the two returns last year and they pulled 607 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: him for the rest of the preseason. Do you think 608 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: he will get the same treatment now? Well, if he 609 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: takes two back to the house in the first game, 610 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: then yeah, probably. I don't know. I think for him 611 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: he needs to play wide receiver. That's what we need 612 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: to see him in the preseason kick returns. Maybe not 613 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: because Deuce Vaughan I think could do it and we'd 614 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: like to see him as well, But I want to 615 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: see Cavante Turpin as a wide receiver. That's the one 616 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: thing that I think he should really be used for 617 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: in the preseason, all right. Julian Ramirez, San Angelo, Texas. 618 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: It seems to be a really quiet camp for DeMarcus Lawrence. 619 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 2: Is he hurt? What should we expect from the tank? 620 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: Not hurt? It's been kind of quiet for him. Yeah, 621 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: that's not a bad thing all the time, you know. 622 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's he's played, Uh, he's been 623 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: he's been good, you know. But he's an older guy too. 624 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: You know. I'm not saying he gets veteran days, but 625 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: I think, you know, wearing him out and making him 626 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: make all these plays out here, that's not necessarily something 627 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: that that is needed right now. So now I don't 628 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that you you have to have that 629 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: him make a lot of plays. Sorry, I'm trying to 630 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: find this one question he's got to do. 631 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 4: You know. 632 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: I don't have another another hands up here, So I'm 633 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: trying to find this really good question here I want 634 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: to answer. Going back to DeMarcus Lawrence, I think he's 635 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: fine this. He's going to be rushing from the outside, 636 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: Russian from the inside. Remember he's coming off of Pro 637 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: Bowl season. DeMarcus Lawrence is it's fine. They're just making 638 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: sure that they take care of him. But I can't 639 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 2: say there's been any issues with him. I expect another 640 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: big season out of him, all right, This is one 641 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 2: I was looking for here Maurice McCrae, Danny's brother. Maybe no, 642 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: maybe not from Tacoma, Washington, longtime listener, lifetime Cowboys fan. 643 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: All right, scenario here, it's fourth and two, the opponent 644 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: has no timeouts, two minutes left on the clock. Who 645 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: are you giving the ball to to seal the deal? 646 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: No timeouts means you get a first down, the game 647 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 2: is over. I'm not dodging the question, but I would 648 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: like to know what happened in the first fifty eight 649 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: minutes of the game. I mean free Coo Dadle has 650 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty seven yards. I mean, like, I 651 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: think he's probably getting the ball. I mean, but I 652 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: get let's play along. Let's play along with the spirit 653 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: of the question. That's a tough question because it's fourth 654 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: and two, like you gotta you gotta get it and 655 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: it and it's you want to pass it, but you 656 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: have to keep the clock started one hundred, keep the 657 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 2: keep the clock rolling. I'm sorry, So I think it's 658 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: a bubble screen. I think it's a bubble screen to 659 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: to ced or Cooks, That's what I think. Litt fake, 660 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 2: little little little quick pass there, you got blockers in 661 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: front make sure you catch the football and then that 662 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: you got the guy in space. That's what I do 663 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: in fourth and two. Now fourth and one, let's change 664 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: it to fourth and one. I know what you're really asking, 665 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: who's running the football for fourth and one because it's 666 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: fourth and two. I don't know if I don't know 667 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: if I like Zeke doing that. Honestly, that's a lot 668 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: when they know you're running the football. So if it's 669 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: fourth and two, I'm probably throwing a bubble screen something 670 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: I can keep the keep the clock rolling safe pass. 671 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: But also in in in the space, I'm also fourth 672 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: and one, I probably I'm going with Dak. I'm going 673 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: back until the NFL changes the rules on pushing from behind. 674 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: I go with Dak, and I let somebody somebody shove 675 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: him in the back and try to get that. I 676 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: think he's your biggest back right now. That could probably 677 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: get the one yard. So that's what I would do. 678 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: I hope that answered the question right. All right? Marcus 679 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: Hunter from Shreveport, Louisiana. Shout out my birthplace. First year 680 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: of my life, there was good year. All right, Marcus Hunter. 681 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: Any undrafted free agents standing out this year? Why do 682 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: you think the Cowboys have had success here, and then 683 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: he doubles up and says, who are the top five 684 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: in Cowboys history? All right, let's start with who's standing 685 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 2: out this year. TJ. Bass I think has a chance 686 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: to do some things at guard. Looks pretty good. Jaylen 687 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: Marino cropper had a good start to training camp. He's 688 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 2: kind of leveled off a little bit, but he's made 689 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: some nice place. Miles Brooks cornerback, seems to kind of 690 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 2: always do something positive there, so I like what I'm 691 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 2: seeing out of him. I haven't seen a ton out 692 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 2: one hundred lipke just yet. But the guy that's probably 693 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: doing the most is a tight end slash receiver, John Stevens. 694 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: That guy has has got something to him and he's 695 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: about sixty six, number forty nine. They've listed him as 696 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 2: a receiver. He's working with the tight ends, but that 697 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: dynamic alone just tells you that what he can do. 698 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: And I talked to the tight end coach, Lunda Wells 699 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: the other day and he says that he is blocking 700 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: way better than maybe anticipated for a guy with that 701 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: is six ' six, he's kind of lean, and he 702 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: actually mixes it up pretty good. So that is a 703 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: very good combination of a guy that can catch from 704 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 2: the outside, not afraid to mix it up inside. Why 705 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 2: the Cowboys had success there, well, I mean it's recruiting 706 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 2: and that's part of it, you know. I mean, that's 707 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: what it comes down to. I mean, the Cowboys are 708 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 2: a franchised that still people I think would want to 709 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 2: go to and so when you get down to it, 710 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: you are recruiting, and because you've had success, then they 711 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: know that agents know that the Cowboys have value in that. 712 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: So just because you're coming as an undrafted free chi 713 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean you're not gonna have a chance. I 714 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 2: mean there's guys that have done it. So I think 715 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 2: that they've they've developed players in the past and that 716 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 2: that kind of helps the pipeline. And you know, I 717 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 2: just also thinks, you know, it's it's it's a play 718 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 2: and no knock at other teams. I mean, if there's 719 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: another team that has an opening that running back could 720 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: maybe make the team or maybe even potential start, Like 721 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 2: you got to look at that. But I think there's 722 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: a lot of teams that are kind of the same 723 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: and and the Cowboys still kind of have that, you know, 724 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,479 Speaker 2: they have that star, they have that mystique. So that's 725 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 2: part of it. And then but more than anything, it's 726 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 2: the success. Who are the top five of all time? 727 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: I mean it, you know, you got your I mean 728 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: Drew Pearson and Cliff Harris and Tony Romo and I 729 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 2: probably should have written these down. I mean, I know 730 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: I'm I'm missing some. I mean I think of Cole Beasley, 731 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: and I think of Miles Austin and and Dan Bailey, 732 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 2: who was it was a good one recent guys, uh, 733 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: I mean Ron Leary, Lance Dunbar. You know, I'm just 734 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 2: thinking of some like that. I mean, this team has 735 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: some some as well. Like currently I'm not thinking of 736 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 2: it as much, but I mean, you asked for five. 737 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 2: I mean those are those are the guys there. I 738 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 2: mean you got you got your your Ring of Honor 739 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: and some Hall of famers there and uh, Andrew Pearson 740 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 2: and Cliff Harris and you know, I mean Romo is 741 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: probably one of the very best of all time, just 742 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 2: because you know, you're the face of the franchise, your 743 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: guy from eastern Illinois and you come in and and 744 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,959 Speaker 2: you know, with Bill Parcells, and you sit for two 745 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: years or so and then you become you know, in 746 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 2: the face of the franchise. And as I've said before, 747 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: you know he's the diaper. You know, that's where that's 748 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 2: the nickname I gave Tony Romo, and I've never you 749 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: can give it to other people. I've never given it 750 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: to anyone else. But Tony Romo was the diaper for 751 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 2: this team. And I can say that because I have kids, 752 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: I've had enough to know that if you take the 753 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: diaper away, his thinks it doesn't look good. There's a 754 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: lot of crap in there that gets covered up by 755 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 2: the diaper. The diaper can do that, and that's what happens. 756 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: We saw when Romo wasn't there, the team was really 757 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 2: really bad, and it was the same season that they 758 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 2: were really good. So I think Romo is probably one 759 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 2: of the probably the greatest undrafted free agent of all 760 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: time because he was the face of the franchise and 761 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 2: when people like to compare him to Danny White, no 762 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 2: disrespect to Danny White, but Danny White took over a 763 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: team in nineteen eighty and the team went downhill. Even 764 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 2: though they went to the NFC Championship Game, they ever 765 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl. Stawback had that team and 766 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 2: they kind of were on the decline. Romo took over 767 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 2: a team, the team was better, and the team was better. 768 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 2: And then when Dak came in, same thing. Dak was 769 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 2: ready to go. And you got to give Dak credit 770 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 2: to but undrafted free agent. If that was the question, 771 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: the best of our time? Uh, I say Romo with 772 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 2: with Pearson obviously Pearson and Cliff Harris, right there is 773 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: a close second. All right, Well, that's that'll do it 774 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 2: for today's show. We've had a lot of a lot 775 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 2: of contributors here. We started off with Will McLay, then 776 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 2: we had Deron Blant and we have a lot of 777 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 2: great questions from you guys. Uh, this will be this 778 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 2: will be our last show of the week, but we 779 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 2: will come back next week and we hope to get 780 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: that quarterback that's the one we're really looking for. But 781 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 2: also we got some other guests lined up for next 782 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: week as well, so we're really excited about that.
