Plus it is fans on the fifty Tuesday, 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.960 So send in your fan questions. I don't have a 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.560 ton of them right now. I know you guys are tired. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.320 I know, I know you're off the bye week. It's 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.760 a little laxadaisical, but no sending your fan questions because 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.120 we want to talk about them and we want to 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.520 answer me chout you out at the same time. But 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.320 rob a couple updates In terms of the Cowboys. Yesterday, 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:01.920 Andy Dalton seemingly has passed both the COVID and concussion 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.440 protocols and should be ready to go. Plus Mike McCarthy 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:11.200 expecting Cheeto to be back this week. Yeah, finally with 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.560 Cheeto right now now, he I'll couch that and said, look, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.280 a couple of weeks ago, it sounded like he was 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.000 going to play against the Eagles, I think, and he didn't, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.240 and he stayed on IR and they activated him last week. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.080 Really is almost a procedural move because he was right 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.040 up against that three week practice window on ir to 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.960 keep practicing. So but it does sound like he'll be 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.520 back in the lineup and that that's big with Trayvon 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.600 out and Andy Dalton. You know, yeah, I mean if 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.040 he's clear to practice, then obviously he's been cleared by 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.200 the league to be on the field and do that. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.519 So that's that's great news. Mike McCarthy said, they'll take 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.360 that throughout the week and see. So Garrett Gilbert stay ready. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.160 But you know that's that's a great sign for your 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.359 offense because I just said this on the fan. It's 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.040 funny how we've been talking about the defense all year 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.320 long struggling and they put back to back solid games together. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.560 It's the offense that has regressed since Dak got hurt, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.960 and maybe Dalton can can take a step forward and 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.320 build on what Gilbert did against the Steelers. We will see, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:18.280 fellas heck, when whenever it comes to Andy Dalton in general, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.680 does it still give you kind of that same feeling 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.960 that we had originally when he was coming in of Okay, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.840 things are going to get back to normal. Things are 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:31.200 gonna kind of find their way into place, whereas that 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.400 was the original thinking, But I just want to know 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.640 if it's the same kind of feeling for you or 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.520 do you have any bubble guts whenever it comes to 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:42.520 Andy Dalton, well, I'd i'd be lying. I I'd be 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.600 lying to you too early in the morning. Man if 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.960 I told you that I felt comfortable right now with 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.400 either of these guys. But it's uh, you know, I 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.640 think with his experience we've talked about this at length, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.200 and his experience giving us a leg up as far 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.760 as him ability to read defenses and get the ball 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.080 out of his hand quickly. This week, that's definitely what 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.040 he's gonna have to do because you know Minnesota, if 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.480 you watch the game last night, Minnesota's going to apply 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.480 a ton of pressure. So I'm still in that place 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.000 with Andy Dalton where I want to see him actually 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.720 do it, you know, and have some positive things happen 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.240 for him in this offense. I think we hadn't seen 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.400 anything good happen for Andy in this offensive. I guess 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.039 in the New York Giants game was the last time 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.240 that he actually threw a touchdown or we had a touchdown. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.560 So it's important to me to just find out what 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.240 this week is going to be like for both of 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.880 these quarterbacks, Gilbert and Dalton going into this week, when 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.760 coach Mike McCarthy was asking about who he was gonna 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.880 go with, he answered it kind of vague and just 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.919 said that, hey, you know, we'll talk about this on 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.880 Friday or Saturday once we have an opportunity to evaluate 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.920 both of these guys. So it's really kind of cool 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.200 to have a quarterback controversy in week eleven of the 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.440 NFL season. Well, I remember they said, if any Dalton's healthy, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.560 he's your man. That's what they said. That's what they 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.320 said this week. I don't know, I know things changed 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.040 all the time around here, but I had an opportunity 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.400 to go back because I know there's been a lot 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.480 of talk about Any Dalton and I obviously he spoke 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.960 highly about him early on. Um, he came in, took 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.160 care of business against the Giants, and then um obviously, UM, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.800 you know, kind of kind of got punched them out 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.920 for a little bit against against Washington. But I went 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.480 back and I watched. You know what I'm saying, I 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.360 don't I don't like to speak just so just off opinion. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.560 I want to speak off off of facts, which is 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.279 what you should. Yeah, I want to talk to the people. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.000 You don't want to to the people to y'all. Um. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.400 So I went back and I watched, I watched the emotions, 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.200 just just facts with me. I don't I don't have emotions. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.680 If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I'm right, I'm right. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.480 You know it is the week eleven, everybody, you should 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.680 figure that out. Yeah, so we're gonna we're gonna touch 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.080 a little bit on this and in the film room. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.360 You know what I'm saying, you guys, you gotta check 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.039 that out tonight. But but but I went back and 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.119 I watched the film and any Dalton didn't do half 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.320 as bad as I thought he did. Really, when we 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.320 look at that watching the game, and the reason why 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.800 is because other guys didn't take care of their of 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.120 their responsibilities. Right now, he could have done better. No disrespected, No, 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.200 no disregard at all. Right, No, I'm not taking any 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.920 accountability off of him at all. He needs to take 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.240 that responsibility. He needs to do better. However, a lot 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.480 of the situations that we face in that Washington game 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.320 would due to a lot of failed assignments. Yeah, and assignments. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.960 Where had everybody done what they're supposed to do. Annie 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.960 don't want to have had plenty of time to deliver 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.600 the ball. There are guys that are open. He has 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.920 zero time to throw the ball. And it wasn't just 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.440 the fact that he was sitting there patting the ball 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.120 and holding onto it and things of that nature. Now 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.680 he did some of that. Um, he am sure from 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.800 between then and now, I'm sure he's he's kind of 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.080 taking that self analysis, but um, you know, going forward, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.120 I feel good about him against this team. Even though 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.800 Minnesota's coming off a big win last night. I think 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.440 that this we're set up well for this team that's 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.960 coming in here, and I think that I think any 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.880 Done's gonna do pretty good with that. If the officer 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.920 line is a lot better, right Let's just that's facts. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.760 Officer line substantially better. The defense is playing better, The 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.160 morality this team is better, the energy is better. I 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.840 think the team is poised for a good position right now. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.920 I'm glad you said that, Isaiah, because I felt like 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.280 last week I felt like I was on a on 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.600 an island, a rob Pe island with with Dalton. I 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.080 felt like nobody was had my back on on bringing 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.960 any back as a starter because of the way Garrett 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840 Gilbert played in that game. And I you know, he played, 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.680 he played well, but you know how much of it 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.320 were we comparing to what Benda Nucci rolled out there 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.520 against the That's a good point and I'm not I'm 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.280 not again, I am not knocking Benda Nucci. I think 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.080 it was a terrible situation where playing that game, and 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.280 I thought Garrett, yeah, it really did. He wasn't ready, um, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.080 you know, as a seventh round pick. But I thought 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.640 Gilbert did move the offense. He brings some mobility to 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.360 the table. But remember the Cowboys kicked four field goals 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.800 in this last game against Pittsburgh, four field goals and 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.920 those last two drives. One was really late time against them, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.119 but they didn't get things going late in the game. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.520 And you know, I think they feel like with Andy 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.200 Dalton as a veteran guy. To your point, Isaiah, go 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.120 back to the Arizona game. I don't even think you 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.240 can evaluate him based off of that game with I 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.720 think that was the Zeke Fumble's game and the lack 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.600 of protect protection upfront. Uh. You know, I just didn't 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.240 think it was a great situation for him in that 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.000 game either. So if he gets he's healthy, he's good 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.720 to go. I feel better about it. I just do 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.880 going forward with a more veteran guy. Now, now you now, Rob, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.880 I have to admit, Okay, you were on that island 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.800 by yourself. Now, I was in the canoe and it 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.720 was tied to the island. Okay, it was tied to 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.560 a post, and I was out there halfway into the ocean. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.920 But I can still come out, still come back. So 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.360 I still believe that Gilbert. I feel if I was 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.880 a coach, I would still go with the energy of 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.280 the squad rail and I would still go with Gilbert. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.319 That does not take away the fact that I believe 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.400 that any Dalton can be successful and will be successful. Okay, 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.479 but let me play Devil's advocate here for this specifically 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.040 and the reason why, and in talking about Gilbert, I 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.880 know y'all are both on the Andy Dalton's side, or 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.640 at least at the moment you're in that that that 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:01.600 boat literally, But whenever it comes to Garrettibert the canoe, Yeah, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.240 whenever it comes to Garrett Gilbert is what we saw 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.040 on last Sunday. I guess against Pittsburgh is that the 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.760 ceiling is that the most we're gonna get out of 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.280 Garrett Gilbert. There's a very good chance it is. There's 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.840 a very good chance that that is the ceiling for 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.520 Garrett Gilbert. Where's Andy Dalton? We know for a fact 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.840 because like Jerry and Steven and Mike and everybody has said, 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.840 Andy Dalton is a starter in this league, his ceiling 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.040 is much higher. But is the floor for Gilbert higher 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.040 as well? Whenever we're talking about maybe the fact that 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.640 there's a bigger range of controversy with Andy Dalton as well, 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.520 I think, I mean, it's hard to compare to two, right, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.560 because any Dalton obviously has been to the Pro Bowl. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.840 He's been, he's been that guy, so we know what 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.080 he's capable of, right, So we we seen what he's 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.120 what he's put out right, and we know and then 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.720 we know what he's capable of. So here's a huge 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.720 gap there, right, there's a huge gap that we're looking 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.480 to feel as Gilbert when he came in, he was 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.760 at the bottom in our eyes, right, everybody's eyes, he's 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.280 at the bottom, right, So all of a sudden he 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.440 performs and everybody's like, right, he raises up right, So 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.839 then there's that question mark, it's like, what else can 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.320 he do? Right? What else can he do? And and 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.719 the truth is, we don't know what else he can do. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.040 We don't know if he had a couple more weeks 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.320 under his belt like he does now, how much better 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.400 he would be as far as his timing with his receivers. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.319 We don't know how much more confident he would be 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.400 with his cause, how much confident he would be with 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.520 delivering the ball on time instead of waiting till guys 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.160 come out of their routes. Right, So there's a lot 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.959 of things we don't know. Versus Andy Dalton. We've seen 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.400 his capability, so it's not really a fair comparison um. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.760 And that's why that's why we're all based off opinions 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:41.200 right now. Ema h Yeah, I'm out here on yacht 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:47.920 Gary Gilbert. Yeah, I'm on the yat yach Gilbert. And 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.720 I'm just taking it as man. This is this offense 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.160 completely needs to change. I mean, we could talk about 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.640 Andy Dalton and Gilbert at LID, but it's it's not 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.199 that big a difference in these quarterbacks right now in 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.440 their career and what they're facing. And I just feel like, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.640 and you said it, Isaiah, when it comes down to 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.600 the energy that you got from Gilbert and the Steelers game, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.480 I want to ride that. I mean, but this team 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.680 has had a bye weekend. Obviously, with the COVID protocol, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.760 they were they were cheated out of at least getting 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.120 a vibe for both of these quarterbacks in the offense. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.959 But I think that you have. My opinion is go 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.680 with Gilbert, and because I feel like just the energy 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.120 and what he bought during the Pittsburgh game is enough 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.200 for this team to possibly sell the division or getting 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.480 more wins, right, And so I think that it maybe 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.880 they go back to to Andy Dalton. But Guys, the 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.960 comparison between the two, I just don't I don't think 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.440 it is as big as we're trying to make it. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.600 I think there's something to be said for that, you know, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.600 and Isaiah mentioned that too. Heck, the momentum factor and 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.920 I have a bye week in between, but that was 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.240 the first signs of life from the offense in three weeks, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.319 So I think there is something to be said for that. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.680 You know, if you're talking about giving yourself the best, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.880 and we can talk about the team tanks stuff all 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.720 we want, but if you're giving yourself the best chance 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.720 to in and when this awful start to the division, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.960 when this race, I think you just logically you gotta 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.320 at least go back to Andy and see how it goes. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.600 And you know, he doesn't preclude yourself from going back 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.800 to Garrett Gilbert. I things aren't going well, but yeah, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.520 I think that's probably what they're going to do, provided 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.040 he has a good week of practice and is ready 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.880 to go, and based off of what we heard this morning, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.400 and based off of what we've heard the last couple 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.040 of weeks and everything. Whenever it comes to the Jones 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.080 family and the coaching staff, they're not playing it on 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.040 team Tank. We're not sitting here looking at a top 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.240 five pick at least, right I mean, I know right 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.720 now we are. But there's a ton of people that 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.080 want that to happen. But the coaching staff in this 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.000 organization just isn't wired that way. They're never gonna be 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.480 wired that way. And we're about to see a little 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.760 bit of at least to turn around. I mean, Jerry 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.760 even said it this morning. He wants to turn it around. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.520 He wants to find a way to win games down 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.800 the stretch. And whenever you look at the next five 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.080 games for Philly, there's a chance that they go into 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:02.040 week fifteen at with three or four wins total. Anyway, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.760 can we can we just say this cause anybody right 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.600 now who's saying that this team should just tank and 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.640 play for and play for draft picks, can we just 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.360 put them in in a in a blow bubble right 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.560 and saying that, let's put them in a bove real 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.560 and say that if this team turns things around, if 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.600 this team turns things around and goes to the playoffs 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.160 and has a miraculous run, that they cannot get back 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.760 on the bandwagon. Oh you're saying, oh, you don't want 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.320 them to get on whenever they get because the people 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.280 the same people that say, oh, let's tank and oh 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.840 you know, let's go ahead and play for draftings are 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.240 the same people ow to be wearing dog on stars 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.959 and getting tattoos under four head of stars. When if 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.360 these guys make a run and go for the dog 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.720 on Super Bowl somehouse some way, right, which is I 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.520 know it sounds crazy, but it's still possible, right, So 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.600 I keep saying that it's still possible because it is. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.560 That's facts. Take the motion out of it. You can't 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.040 play both sides. You guys can't. People can't sit up 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.439 here and say, I know it's already been said. You 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:54.559 can't sit up here and say that you want a 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.600 competitive team, a competitive organization. Who goes out there, he 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.240 goes walls to the wall and then and expect guys 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.160 go out there and tank. That's that's that's BS. That's BS. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.800 So if you guys are out there, I'm talking to 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.120 everybody out there. If you guys are talking about anybody 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.440 who has tweeted, said text any of that stuff said 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.040 that you want this team to take and play for 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.400 draft picks, y'all just just go ahead and take all 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.120 the stars out your closet right now and put them 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.880 in put them in the attic. And you guys got 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.160 to wait until next year, okay, because now it might 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.520 go either way. It might go your way, and they 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.520 might play. They might end up playing for draft picks, right. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.080 You never know. However, do not try to get back 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.360 on the bandwagon. If these dudes start bawling, it's it's 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.480 a question mark, But don't do. Yeah, you gotta put 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.880 your pan next year. Yeah, if you check all your messages, 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.680 just type in draft. If you send draft over the 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.640 last three weeks. Just put it, Yeah, just put it 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:48.320 in a dog on closet, take all your clothes, Okay, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.760 you would be out. Yeah. Can I just ask what 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.400 what tanking means? Like, yeah, please define mind that based 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.120 based on like what we've seen this this year, because 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:03.560 they're already playing younger guys out of necessity, out in 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.560 part because out of need. And also you know, there 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.120 are a couple of spots on defense where they said, 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.000 we're not getting production, so we're gonna go to some 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:14.200 younger guys and it's actually paid off. They're minus thirteen 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.520 in the turnover ratio that is by far the worse 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.560 than the end of they have they have because of 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.800 the way they've played this year, they have given themselves 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.600 zero margin for error. So tell me what tanking means exactly? 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.920 Because Rob, they're playing their hardest and they're not they're 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.080 still not winning. So don't you know, I just don't 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.360 get it. I don't get hey, hey, Rob and and 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.440 and the way that this season is going. They can 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.240 go out there and play their hearts out all the 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.560 way through and it still might be a bad season. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.960 So you're gonna end up with a top five pick 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.320 anyway based off of the fact that you are playing 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:50.200 with your fifth street quarterback and your officeive line is decimating. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.920 Your defense is historically bad. So whether you want to 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.400 take or not. And I think the mentality with tanking 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.200 has something to do with giving up. And that's not 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.360 a team in NFL that's about that. Well, maybe there 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.520 are two or three, right, yeah, maybe that I'm trying 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.680 to get that big about this. None if the coaches 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.440 want to keep their jobs and everything involved there because 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.120 nobody ever wants to lose for real. I mean, the 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.640 only reason you end up tanking is if you you 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.640 aren't very good. And I like we've talked about previously, 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.880 this is a team. This is an organization that feels 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.640 like if things kind of roll the right way, you 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.880 can you can have a good team, and you can 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.320 run it back in twenty twenty one and have a 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.560 good team. And there's so many different aspects that go 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.320 into quote unquote tanking that it makes it tough and 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.680 it's a decision making process. But I like how Rob 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.080 said that it's even you can play as much as 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.160 plays as hard as you want, it doesn't mean things 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.720 are going to go the right way. For you, but 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.120 you want to find a way to try and get 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.040 into the tournament. And right now we're still in the 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.080 tournament at least at the moment, everything's still in front 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.920 of you and Isaiah, I wanted to ask this just 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.680 based off of what you were saying a moment ago. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.680 But from a players point, you never want to tank. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.680 There's never been an opportunity. There's no such things ever 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.640 want to do that, right, No, there's no such thing. 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.280 You get ran out the locker room if you if 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.359 you're out there low fan and not giving one hundred effort, 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.040 you're getting ran out of the locker room. You guys 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.920 understand when you guys, that's why, that's why Rob rob 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.920 p asked a great question, what does the definition of taking? 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.600 Because as a competitor, as a player, every time I 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.040 step on the field, every time that that eye in 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.320 the sky all right, that we talk about, it doesn't lie. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.480 That is your resume. That's your resume. So you can 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.080 go out there and half tell it if you want to. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.560 You're gonna mess with your own money going forward, right, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.359 whether it's on a team that you're ready with or 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:34.920 whether there's a team that you might end up trying 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:36.720 to go to you're messing with your own money. So 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.520 there is no definition. There's no thing called tanking. Now now, now, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.560 I don't know what the front office talks about. Right, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.680 the front office might be positioning herself and start playing 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.040 for stuff with players. No, no such thing. Yeah, hey, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.679 you know, don't watch any Jets football games, text field games. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.000 Well yeah, I mean, well, I mean, I mean about 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.679 opinion on that. I mean, everybody last year said that 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.840 the Dolphins were taking right. The Dolphins last year were 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.000 taking right. They were doing all their positioning themselves. Blas 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.399 look at them. They win seven to one, and now 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.080 they're winning a lot of games. They're balling, they're baling. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.919 So what is taking right? More thing on it? Yeah, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.320 what is? I you know, like I'll just make an 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.119 NBA reference because I love the league. Like it's this 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.360 isn't a Golden State Warrior situation where they've won titles. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.399 They've got their culture. We talked about culture on the 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.760 show a lot. In place. They just have a bunch 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.680 of injuries for one year to steph and play and 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.959 you know they're playing young guys and they're gonna get 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.640 a great draft pick and be right back where they were. 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.480 This is a brand new staff, brand new schemes. As 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.960 a fan, don't you want to see some sort of 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.840 progress going into next season with Mike McCarthy or would 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.639 you want to watch the first month of this season 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.800 for the rest of the way. I just, if I'm 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.160 a fan, I want the ladder, you know. And if 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.720 you if your draft pick suffers a little bit, fine, 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.120 you know, but because you're still gonna get healthy next 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.360 year and you're still gonna be a better team next 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.800 year when you're at full strength pretty easily. I think 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.080 whenever you look at everything that's gone wrong here in 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.199 twenty twenty on the field and off the field, you 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.840 can talk about how twenty twenty one should be better, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.200 and hopefully it will be for the Cowboys, And sure 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:06.720 you would like to add a draft pick to that. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.879 And That's where I'm at too. I want to evaluate 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.879 the draft and I want to provide as much content 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.520 as I can to the fans out there that are 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.159 catering to that draft need. But there's a way you 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.960 can be successful in the top five of the draft 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.399 and in the mid twenties.

You can continue sending these in 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.560 throughout the segment, but we've got some good ones now 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.440 rolling in and our guy Jay, who is talk about Jay? 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.280 I want to take a second. We just went on 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.960 our Talking Cowboys Ted talk on why you should be 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.439 non bandwagon er fans. Jay is the definition of a 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.200 true diehard fan. And Jay is a fantastic guy as well. 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.400 He's and it's not even just with our show, it's 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:34.800 every show as the day goes on, and we appreciate 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.240 Jay all the time. And he asked fantastic questions. He says, 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.719 who do you guys see taking mister Trayvon Diggs spot 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.679 whenever it comes to the cornerback position. Of course, Trayvon 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.960 Diggs rookie second rounder out four to six weeks with 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:52.320 a broken fractured foot. Where do you see the Cowboys 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.840 going in terms of replacing him? Because he brought an 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.480 element the Cowboys haven't had that position in a long time. 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.120 That's a good question. I think it's gonna look like, um, 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.639 you know, with the healthy guys that got, it's probably 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.159 gonna look like it's been you know, a couple of 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:11.440 years ago, where it's Cheeto and Anthony Brown and Jordan 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.320 Lewis probably your top three guys. I would imagine, am 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:20.160 I missing somebody? Probably not Brown, Cheeto Lewis? But where 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.560 who's gonna be on the top guy though? Is gonna 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:28.919 be Anthony Brown or is it gonna be Cheeto? I 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.440 think it's just a b right now. He's the healthier guy. 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.080 I mean, I don't think it would be look just 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.760 depends on where Cheeto is right now and his his hamstring, 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.359 and so I think the coaches would know that you 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.840 also have Savion Smith, who did not play very well 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.840 at all against Pittsburgh, but still he's he's a guy 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.639 that you could bring in in some some nickel, but still, 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.040 you know this Lewis uh is gonna be your inside guy, 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:57.040 and Brown and Cheeto I would imagine would be your 0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.760 starting corners on Sunday. I'm a double up at heck, 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.080 M double up. Heck, got nothing else to add. That's it. 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:07.240 And if they play sides, you know, you're just kind 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.440 of matching up with who's on your side. And uh, 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.240 but you know that you brought up Savion Smith. Heck, 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.320 if they're gonna play Savion Smith, who uh they like? 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.040 But you drafted Reggie Robinson and I know they're not 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.080 going to do this, probably because they move Reggie to safety. 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.800 But if you're hurting a corner, I just I want 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.000 to see Reggie Robinson. I heard so many good things 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.920 about him coming out of the draft and actually talking 0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:32.000 to his position coach at Tulsa, and I was excited 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.560 to see him competing and I haven't seen him. I 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.480 haven't even seen him on special teams, which he also 0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.600 excelled at in college. Now there's seven games left, but 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:42.600 I would like to see him on the field at 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:46.320 some point, d p ay. Reggie Robinson is to me 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:50.000 as Bradley and I is to Kyle where we need 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:54.000 to that's take a moment every week waiting to see 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.280 Reggie Robinson. I don't know why, but I have something 0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:00.280 about Reggie. I'm looking forward to see him play well. 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.200 With this being said, our guy pass is already jumping 0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:05.600 the gun and he asked us the question on Twitter 0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:09.679 a while ago, why won't they free Reggie Robinson? And 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:14.320 then he used the hashtag hashtag free Reggie Robinson. Free 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.159 Reggie is now something we need to get trending on 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.800 Twitter and we get some t shirts made. That sounds great, 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:23.080 but it is. It's easy to forget about him because 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:24.719 he hasn't been on the field and he hasn't been 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:28.280 at I forgot about him. No, I agree. I don't 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:30.359 think any of us have forgotten about him. But whenever 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:32.920 you haven't seen forty one on the field, you want 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:35.359 him to make a debut. Whether it's at corner or 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:37.520 whether it's at safety. Right now, it doesn't matter to me. 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:40.199 I just want to see him play and see something 0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.000 because we saw flashes rob even in training camp where 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:46.639 he looked good and played decently even as a rookie 0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.720 in that spot too, But we just haven't gotten a 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:53.600 chance to see him. Yeah, I mean the fact that 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.720 he's moved to safety. I understand maybe they think he's 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.639 not ready to help, although you've watched him play like 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.800 six different guys at safety this year. Uh. The thing 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:06.960 that gets me at special teams because um, he I 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.640 think he had three or four block kicks in college. Yep. 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.119 He played every special team's unit at Tulsa. I just 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.120 think he could help you potentially there at some point 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:17.360 on the coverage units. And and we're not there yet. 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:19.840 So um, I don't know that that one's That one's 0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.160 surprising to me. And Mike McCarthy has been asked about 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:23.680 it and he's basically said, I want to see him 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:26.560 get to special teams first. That's that's the goal. But 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:29.600 it's it's we're not We're not there yet. It's crazy 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:35.080 to me. Hecma, well, Isaiah, I mean, I thought Isaiah's 0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:39.120 gonna break out the free Regid Robinson teams. There it 0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.560 feels it feels like it's the preseason and they and 0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.919 they're like holding a practice practice squad player the guy 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:46.600 they want to bring back. They don't want to show him, 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.840 you know, That's what it feels like. But he's collected 0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:51.680 eleven checks now, you know, and and and good for him, 0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:53.879 you know, stack him up. He's healthy, you know. But 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.720 got dog man. I want to see the boy. I 0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.960 want to see him playing. It's not like I can't 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.480 imagine that everybody else who's played before him is that 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.679 much better than him. I just can't foresee. Yeah, I 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:08.280 just can't foresee that now. But not Wilson, but Thompson backfire. 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:13.120 My opinion has been of Reggie Robinson just coming out 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.320 of the division that he came TELSA. I don't I 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.399 don't know what that division is. That he played the 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.920 American athletic that a lot of those guys American athletic 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.960 like kids like that probably need your rookie OTAs and 0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:29.000 two of days to get acclimated with the NFL UM. 0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.040 I think with the coaching staff and all of the 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:34.919 evaluating that they do daily, if Reggie Robinson was ready 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.119 to go, he would have been on the field. Don't 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.520 do that. Don't do that. I don't do that. Head 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:45.200 and I'm there. I just feel like the evaluation has happened. No, 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:49.520 he's moved, he's moved to he's moved positions. He's safety now. 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:52.040 And I'm with Rob when when I when I say 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.280 that his best chance of getting on the field is 0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.600 probably going to be special teams and he hadn't even 0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:58.639 got there on that. So he's a guy that is 0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.320 active every week and collect the checks. But at the 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.040 end of the day, there has to be something to 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:07.800 his game that has given these this coaching staff pauls Heck, yeah, 0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.200 come on, say I need to get out the rep shirt. No, don't. 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:11.639 You don't need the rep shir because I'm aout to 0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:16.600 end this right now. The back Typically I typically would 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.159 go with that answer. Heck, the fact that you sypically 0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:21.880 that you know the coaches and you know the scows 0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:24.280 and everybody else have evaluated him, and you know he 0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:28.040 just must not be ready, all I'm gonna say is 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:32.920 Gucci Thenucci. Obviously we're not that dog On good at 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.000 at evaluating who's ready who's not ready. So dog on it, 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:40.120 put Reggie out there. That's all you had, that's that's 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.480 all you That's all I need, that's all I need, 0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:49.400 that's all you had. No, No, they didn't really have. Yeah, 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.920 theyn't have a choice. If you think if there was 0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.600 somebody else out there, I would have won the staying up. 0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:57.080 They could have They could have called your boy. I 0:28:57.080 --> 0:28:59.160 would have put the headphones down and I would have 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.280 came out there. Okay, no, lord, No, I would have 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.720 loved it. I would have known you. I would have 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:06.360 paid to see that. Well, they would have paid to 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:07.880 see it too, because that's only I would have got 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:11.480 out there. We would have that's fair, fair, that's a 0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:13.160 good point. And it would have had to be a 0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.320 hefty check at that point as well. We would have 0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:17.200 had to get Chris Beam to take our little road 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.040 road set up and take the road caster, and we 0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:21.920 would have to sit out on the practice field and 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:25.240 be like Mike, listen, listen, listen, listen, that's our guy. 0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:29.320 We know there's no practice availability for media, but this 0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:33.120 is different. I would have loved I would have loved 0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:34.640 for them to see me. I would have drove the 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:42.680 cart to pick you up off. Hey, hey, hey, hey, 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.360 I got money on it. I'm still faster than eighty 0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.240 percent of the dudes on the squad right now, right now, 0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:52.120 hey man, I would take and I would put it 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.800 on the side against you, against me? Yeah, No, I 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:59.720 think you're eighty percent I am.

Yeah, that would be 0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.800 that would be fun. Oh man. Okay, so we've kind 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:08.360 of gotten off track a little bit and our time 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:11.440 starting to run out.

To Talk in Cowboys back 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:41.000 here for Talking Cowboys final segment here on this Tuesday, 0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.720 continuing on with some fans on the fifty and some 0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:47.320 race talk back and forth in the breaks, were Gore, 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:50.680 Isaiah's like pumped up, Well, so we pulling back your 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.960 curtain again. We do a film room right after this 0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.360 six and we go into Oh gosh, we go. We 0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.360 go and do the film room right after this, and 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:02.600 Isaiah are talking about maybe going out to the Toastitos 0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:07.560 Fiesta Plaza and maybe running really quickly just for fun. Yeah, okay, 0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:11.800 we'll see. Isaiah's pumped about it. But got some fans 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.600 on the fifty questions we want to get to here 0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:15.839 before we run out of time here on this edition 0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.440 of Talking Cowboys, and Joe Ferguson brings up the question. 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.120 It's very simple one. But someone is on the open 0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:26.560 market as of yesterday because of some legal issues and 0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.279 legal decisions, and we can get into this as much 0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:32.239 as we want or as little as we want, but 0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:35.360 he asked, what do you all think about DeAndre Baker 0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:39.720 in terms of the cornerback position and the former first 0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:43.600 round corner that is now on the open market due 0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:46.799 to his case being dropped in kind of something that 0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.480 really it honestly needs a Netflix documentary. How crazy his 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.000 whole thing has been back and forth, but Jerry was 0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:56.240 asked about it this morning, So I'm asking you, guys, 0:34:56.440 --> 0:35:01.520 what do you think about DeAndre Baker? Rob He's a 0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:04.840 talented player, Um, the guys that the fan asked me 0:35:04.840 --> 0:35:06.800 about it, and be honest with you, I haven't followed 0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:08.600 that whole case that closely. I mean, I saw what 0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:12.879 happened yesterday with I think his charges were dropped correct. Yeah, 0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:16.000 it's part of an extortion case. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.920 Really talented guy. I just think I think, you know, 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:23.600 any team's got to kind of dig into what happened. 0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:26.400 I think figure out what's going on with that UM. 0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:29.640 And Jerry was asked specifically about him on the fan 0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:31.600 this morning and just kind of said, look, we're always 0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.000 looking to upgrade our team, but we're you know, he 0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:37.000 didn't really comment on it specifically, So that's just kind 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:39.520 of where it is. Just a kind of a strange deal. 0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:44.719 Huh Yeah, strange to say the least. Yeah, you gotta 0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:46.520 kick the tires. You gotta kick the tires on the 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.360 guy like that. And I think that Will McClay and 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.279 his staff are doing that for every player in the 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:52.600 league period, just trying to find out if they can 0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.120 upgrade this roster. And we talked about it was it 0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:57.440 groove on to move on yesterday and I think once 0:35:57.480 --> 0:35:59.520 I got to my move on, I pretty much got 0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:03.920 rid of half the defense. So if we're turning over 0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:06.120 the roster at the rate that I was talking about, 0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.759 then definitely, yeah, man, it's worth giving this guy. Look, 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:12.680 I don't know enough about him, so Okay, I can't 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:14.960 really comment on him. That's fine, that's fine. And he 0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.479 that's the thing is really what do we know about 0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:20.840 him in terms of an NFL roster because right now 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:25.080 it ends up being very minimal tape And then you 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:27.319 had the legal issues that kind of arose, and sure 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:30.279 you got what you had in college and Georgia, but 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:34.880 ultimately you're you're still going to go off of what. 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.399 I guess what you're ceiling for him is you would 0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.040 treat him like a first round pick, but the contract 0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:42.759 is going to be odd because of the issues that 0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:44.760 were off the field. It's going to be very interesting. 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:48.040 It's a complicated matter overall, But I think a lot 0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:50.879 of people would take him, And I think, like Heckma said, 0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.600 you have to kick the tires, right, you gotta, especially 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.040 when it's a position of need, and it's a position 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.399 that most likely you're going to spend a very very 0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:02.080 high pick on in the first round of the draft, 0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:04.440 maybe the second round of the draft. Why not kick 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.479 the tires on him. Why not try and see what's 0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:10.000 out there and maybe sure up your defense a little bit. 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.360 A friend of mine texted me last night about it, 0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:15.280 and he said, what would you think about a Treyvon Diggs, 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:19.719 A DeAndre Baker and a Patrick's Certain who's a top 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.160 draft prospect right now that you could get in the 0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:23.960 mid teens. You could don't have to get him in 0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:26.800 the top ten at least right now. All those three 0:37:26.960 --> 0:37:31.440 there's a guy those three. I'm just saying those three guys, 0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:33.520 and I said mid teens. I didn't say top five. 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:35.720 He's not a top five pick. So I'm saying, even 0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:37.760 in the middle of that first round where you picked 0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.440 last year. If you even if you're in the middle 0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:41.840 of that first round and you could get a Patrick's 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.880 certain and those three to guys would be unbelievable to 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.359 find a way to do it. Now, moving on from there, 0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:51.400 there was a draft question that was that was involved 0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:53.920 in in the fans on the fifty and since you 0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:56.960 guys just don't want to talk about draft, we won't 0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.480 do that. Now I will ask and I say this, 0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.560 how do you feel about or excuse me, here's the 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.120 questions from strike Chris on the periscope. He said, do 0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.759 you all think if we win the division we will 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.880 sign Dank to a long term deal or would you 0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.880 tag him? Isah? Hopefully they would. They will honor him 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:18.960 and sign him to a long term sign him. It's 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:23.160 disrespectful to tack somebody, especially at that position. Is it 0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:26.160 literally is taken as a sign of disrespect. There's no 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:28.520 it's no other way to go about it. Um, they 0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:31.520 have the money to do it. Um, they had the 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:33.799 time to do it, and they chose not to. Now 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:35.239 they have all the time in the world to do it. 0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:39.120 If they franchise tack him again. I don't like the 0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.520 franchise tack. First of all, I don't, don't thirty five 0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:47.200 million dollars. It doesn't matter, It doesn't, it doesn't matter. No, Yeah, 0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:53.719 I'm asking close to thirty eight. Yeah, it's gonna be 0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:57.400 thirty eight million dollars worth of disrespect, I think. So 0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.160 check this out. Heck, it's disrespectful because you work your 0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:01.760 butt off to get to that point in your career 0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:05.160 where you can leave. Right, You work your butt you 0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:08.200 grind business, You grind business. Yes, but I'm saying it's 0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.360 it's a disadvantage, right if you the same the same 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.120 the same power that the ownership has to be able 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.040 to say you can't go anywhere. You've worked your butt 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:19.760 off to get to this point. Now you can't go anywhere. 0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:22.200 I think the players, somehow, someway should have the same way, 0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.560 the same power to veto that, because that's it's just 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:29.320 it's you have so much time as a professional athlete, 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:32.640 right as especially you have a very small window of time, 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:34.440 and if you work your butt off to make sure 0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:36.080 that you're ensure that you've done everything you can to 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:37.880 get to that point to where you're even in a 0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:40.560 conversation to get franchise tagged, you should they should not 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.959 have the power to do so, I just I personally don't. 0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:45.640 I think it's just unfair. There's a lot of things 0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:47.920 unfairness league, but that's one thing that's that's definitely unfair. 0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:52.200 And honestly, what happened to Dak with the ankle is 0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:57.759 exactly why yep, yep, no, And you can look at it. 0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:59.840 I see it that way as well. But when you 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:04.080 talk about the word Dak is trending even after the 0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:08.719 ankle injury, he's he's he's gonna be fine. I mean, 0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:12.040 you talk about the injury and his rehabbing, him coming back. 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.520 I would love a long term deal with Dak. I was. 0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.440 I was hoping forward before the season even started. We 0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:20.000 didn't get it. Uh, And so the way that things 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:23.480 are are progressing with this whole negotiation with Dak, it 0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.959 looks to be that that's where we're leaning towards getting 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:27.759 him signed to a long term deal. You look at 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:30.719 the cap. The cap is the Dallas Cowboys cap. We're 0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:33.560 in a bad situation with that. So to even relegate 0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:36.080 thirty eight million dollars for just one player for one year, 0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:39.160 it's gonna take away our ability to get other players signed. 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.279 So I think with to that regard, we may not 0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:45.560 want to cap him, but I mean franchise him. But 0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:48.960 come on, now, I mean that we're dealt. But look 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:52.120 at the situation that Dak's in currently, right, Dak's almost 0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:54.480 in a situation where I don't want to put this 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:56.399 on him because it's not coming from his words, but 0:40:57.480 --> 0:40:59.800 where he's almost hoping that his team doesn't do that 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:04.560 right because it improves his stock. Right as an individual, 0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:07.600 being selfish, as an individual, you you almost hope that 0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.560 your team doesn't do that well because now they miss 0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.080 you right now, they need you now, they have to 0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:14.560 pay you. Now. They if any dogman who came out 0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:16.880 here and balled out right now, look at look at 0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:18.920 the position that he's in, yeah, look at a position 0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:21.880 that he's in an came out, yeah yeah, his leverage 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:25.000 goes down, his stock goes down, you know, because now 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:27.200 people are looking at and says he wasn't as important 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.239 to this team, right, So I mean, it's it can 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:31.120 go either way, and that's the reason why the franchise 0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.360 tag is so bad. Look at Earl. Look at Earl Thomas. 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:36.440 Right when Earl Thomas came back. Earl Thomas came back 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:37.880 right now, last year where he wanted to get his 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.000 contract extending out. He wasn't a franchise tag, but he 0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:41.520 wanted to get that extension to hire. I feel like 0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:43.240 he should have got that, should have got that extension, 0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:45.160 and he didn't. He tried to hold out, and any 0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:46.640 what did he do. He said, I'm gonna come back 0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:48.400 for the team because of my teammates. And then what 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:52.200 it end up happening. Yeah, right, got hurt, broken life. No, 0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:55.520 that's that's that's no. I get it. I understand exactly 0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:57.080 what you're saying. I'm just talking about as far as 0:41:57.160 --> 0:41:59.680 Dak and his where he is right now, and by 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:01.680 the time he gets to the end of his career, 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.160 he's going to be a very wealthy man. And so 0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.000 I just look right now the way that the things 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.400 have gone this year. I think you hindsight is always 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.320 twenty twenty and you can say, oh my god, we 0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:13.680 should have got a long term deal going. And whether 0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:16.800 the narrative is he's making more money not playing because 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.960 of how bad the offense looks, that's a whole nother 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.040 thing as well. We didn't look that good when he 0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:25.280 was playing, and so that we needed to get better obviously, 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:27.839 But there's so many variables to that, right, and that's 0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.960 we're going to talk about that all off season. But still, man, 0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:33.839 I think Dak is going to be handsomely taken care 0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:36.359 of for the rest of his career as long as 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:38.880 he's you know, healthy obviously well. And if you if 0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:42.080 you tag Dak and you don't get a long term 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:47.360 deal done prior to that July fifteenth deadline, then you're basically, 0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.000 I mean, that might be it. That's it. I mean, 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:51.480 you got one year with him, and then he's going 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.359 to test the open marketing and he's gonna get his money. 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.440 It's gonna be a tough task to get him back. Remember, 0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:59.040 the only two quarterbacks who had ever been on the 0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:04.160 franchise tag twice was Kirk Cousins left Drew Brees left 0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:07.640 back the year after they were on their second franchise tag. 0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.920 So you talk about the fact of the matter is 0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:14.160 is someone will pay this quarterback. Somebody will pay a 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:16.879 premium for Dak Prescott. So if you tag him again, 0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:19.879 you're ultimately saying, all right, test the market, we'll see 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:22.160 what you get out there, and we'll find our way 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.480 on our own. And I don't think that's what's going 0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:26.319 to happen. I think they're going to get a deal time. 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.239 I think they very well might tag him just to 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:32.320 keep that window going. You know, if they have to 0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:35.680 tag him by March, that's possible, just to keep talking. 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.160 But yeah, I'm with you, Kyle. I just think I mean, 0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.680 maybe I'm being naive and there's a lot of skeptics 0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:44.200 out there that don't think the Cowboys are really going 0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:46.480 to push to sign him. They've but they've put offers 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:48.440 on the table. It just hasn't gotten done. I think 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:53.000 what's happened with the ankle and him being out. I 0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.399 think it's like Isaiah said, man, I think it's it's 0:43:56.480 --> 0:43:58.960 more than just what he brings when the ball is snapped. 0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:01.759 I mean, I think clearly his leadership has missed um. 0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:04.399 There's a lot of intangibles with Dak Prescott point. We're 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:06.640 seeing that, and that's that's why I think it's it's 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:08.560 gonna get done. I really believe it's gonna get done 0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:10.880 after the season. But Chris Beam did some math for 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:14.600 us on on on our webcam. I guess that's the 0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:16.719 was that the was that the total money he would 0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:20.319 make Chris on the on the tag over two years. Yeah, 0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.839 it was like close to seventy million to heckx point. Yeah, 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:28.799 that's that's great. Yeah, I know, but think about been 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.120 thinking about the long term security though, Yea, with a 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:33.360 long term deal, it's it's well beyond that. I'm just 0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:37.640 soaking guys, this is all good now. Yeah, I would 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.120 take that disrespect too. Yeah, that'd be fantastic. I'd be 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:46.680 cool with just one seventy years hundred dollar bills. Now, Okay, 0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:49.960 that's one way to end the show. But whenever we're 0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.440 we're talking about I want to go off of what 0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:55.560 Rob just said. And and I think that's funny because 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:59.319 we whenever we started this group, whenever we first got 0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:02.360 on this show last offseason, we were talking about the 0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.040 Dak saga. Prior to that, we were talking about the 0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:08.000 Dak saga. Well, we just when we thought another wrench 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:10.279 couldn't be thrown into it, the injury got thrown into it. 0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:12.919 And you have another wrench that's into this whole deal, 0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:16.440 and it just adds complexity to the whole thing, and 0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:18.239 it's something that you're gonna have to deal with. But 0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:21.480 other than that, I think that I think that's gonna 0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.600 do it. For us, I'm talking Cowboys. I'm trying to 0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:28.200 get past one hundred. I'm trying to get past one hundred. 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:30.359 I don't even want that visual action. I don't either. 0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:34.120 I don't want it either. All Right, that's gonna do 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:35.920 it for us, for Chris Beam in the bag, for 0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:40.279 heck By Harson, for Rob Phillips, Uti stand back. It 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:43.560 wasn't uppercutting. That's knocking us out here. On Talk to Cowboys, 0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:46.600 I'm Kyle. You almost will see you tomorrow nine thirty 0:45:46.760 --> 0:45:51.120 here on Talking Cowboys. This has been a production of 0:45:51.280 --> 0:45:54.799 Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
