00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: when you are with a bunch of older guys, don't

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: ever start the show by saying this is the finals.

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I said, Oh no, does he know something I don't know?

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Why did you hear? So? How you doing? I am

28
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: clarify that it's French. So the old is silent. And

29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: I always help something against my people because they name

30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: us all of these weird names. I never liked Everson,

31
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, of course, you know, you know my mom

32
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: gave it to me, so I have to love it.

00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: But everyone always said it wrong. Emerson. Uh, you know,

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the mail, all of our names are misspelled. I don't

38
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: care growing up all of our names are misspelled. But

39
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,080

00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: to make sure everybody realize how much we loved her

44
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,080

Speaker 1: for her, guys, oh my god, you you wouldn't know me.

46
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,440

47
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: just like most mothers, they saved our lives. They saved

48
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: us from ourselves. So I want to thank we the

49
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,480

Speaker 1: my worst habits that I had that she had to

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: break me from. I'll put it away. Hey, there's only

52
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: one person, only one person on this show that that uh,

53
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: nobody had trouble with spelling first or last name. Okay, Yeah,

54
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I ever said I was gonna say, I was gonna

55
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: tell you go through life with the name Bill Jones

56
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and then complain about right. I can see the other

57
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: side of that. I would love to have a unique name.

58
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: I can see. I can see the other side of that. Definitely,

59
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: where your high can I've had more. I've had more

60
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: volves added to my last name than you can shake

61
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: a stick at. And well we're at it. Then I'll

62
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: give a shout out to my late mother as well.

63
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: Her birthday April third, coming up this week twenty seventh,

64
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: they were born exactly coming up one week apart, March

65
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty seventh April third, and how how amazing is that?

66
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: And then twenty nine years later they came together in

67
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: marriage and here we are today, all right there, Yes,

68
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are trying to come together in marriage with

69
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks in free agency, and

70
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: they still have a one huge gaping hole in one

71
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: spot in their secondary. Mickey, where do you where do

72
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys are in free agency right now?

73
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: And of course that gaping hole right now in the

74
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: secondary is at one of those starting cornerback spots. Is

75
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: they have not replaced Cheetawwoozia who signed with Cincinnati. Yeah,

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: and I understand that with a with a veteran. At

77
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: least they have Anthony Brown who they did sign last

78
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: year to a multi year deal, so they can use

79
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: him as a veteran starter no matter what happens or

80
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: should happen in the draft or if the guy's ready

81
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: or not, Mike, gaping hole still is the backup quarterback

82
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: position that they have not addressed yet. I was encouraged

83
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: though listening to Mike McCarthy last week during his media conference,

84
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: saying that they have spoken to several veterans and they'll

85
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: continue to kind of monitor that position. But he did

86
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: call the quarterback position and I know Everson doesn't like

87
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: this the most important position on the team, and to me,

88
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: one should get Dak Prescott signed. The next most important

89
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: position is the guy behind him. And I'm just not

90
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: sure they're willing to go into training camp with three

91
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: guys that have like a combined uh three starts. Maybe

92
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I think I added them up if I got that correct. So, uh,

93
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that's something that we should keep an eye on. Although

94
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, with with how volatile the quarterback

95
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: position is along the league, there's gonna be some guys

96
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: released or some guys gonna be cheap, especially after the

97
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: draw up last year. Mickey, Right, exactly where did Cowboys

98
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: get Andy Dalton last year? It was after Joe Burrow

99
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: was drafted number one overall by Cincinnati. So so true,

100
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: So yes, as that goes, yes, absolutely, that's right. Well, Jed,

101
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: I just want to let you I just want to

102
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: let you guys know that you know, with the absurdity

103
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: of this, uh, the safeties that we've been signing of

104
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: course you know my position on them. I have decided

105
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: to commit myself to working out and I'm going to

106
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: try out for the Cowboys at safety. So there you go.

107
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I love that we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna put

108
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: that out there. I mean, I I instead of fussing

109
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: about it, and we're gonna do something about it. So

110
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get out and

111
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: I'll be in my yard. I only have ten yards

112
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: of sprint sprint space back there, so I'm gonna be

113
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 1: in the backyard doing ten yards sprints. I'll be getting

114
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: ready for you. I can probably set you up with

115
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: one of those one year veteran exception deals, so your

116
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: only count nine hundred and eighty seven thousand, five hundred

117
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: dollars against the salary cap, okay, because that's all these

118
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: guys that we're getting and you only get one year exactly.

119
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: I saw. I saw the parade. I saw the parade,

120
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: last week's bags of signings. I saw the guys, and

121
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I gotta say, they look they look older than me, man.

122
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, some of those guys are just some old

123
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: looking dudes. Man. I can't I couldn't have grown up

124
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: in this area. These are some of the toughest looking

125
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: guys I think I've ever seen. I don't even think

126
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: they're even out of their thirties, and they're looking like this.

127
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: But you know, when you when you talk about the

128
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: gaping hole, Yeah, that that secondary is something I'm still

129
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: concerned about. When you're talking about bringing back Anthony Brown

130
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: and guys like that. My concern with young defensive backs

131
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and they can't be they can't keep playing young if

132
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: you keep playing all these games. I remember in eighty

133
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: one Madden said about us in our secondary, we want

134
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: Thurm and Stieves yet, but our young secondary. He said,

135
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, by the time you get into the playoffs,

136
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: there are no more rookies. You know, you should have

137
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: that experience. So I'm looking for the Cowboys secondary to

138
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: show me some experience. The thing that frustrates us so

139
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: much by watching our secondary is that we don't make

140
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: heads up plays, you know, and that that concerns me.

141
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: We don't show the experience that we should have after

142
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: playing all of these games that we've been playing, not

143
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: just in one season, but over two or three seasons.

144
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: I would hope that they would show some type of experience,

145
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: and sometimes the way we did back in the day

146
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: and the way most good secondaries do it. You start

147
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: to play the team, okay, and I play your technique,

148
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: necessarily you play the team, and you start to anticipate

149
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: what they're doing. We just in our secondary, I just

150
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: don't see, when I say playmakers, guys that are heads

151
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: up enough to sniff out of play and then make

152
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: that play. I would just love to see more of that.

153
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: And in that regard, I don't give a damn who

154
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: we signed as long as they can make these plays. Now,

155
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: these guys that we just signed, they have experience, so

156
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: hopefully with that experience they can sniff out a few

157
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: plays and be able to make a difference in our secondary.

158
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: Just remember, because he had seven interceptions in one season, yep,

159
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: and somebody and Mickey Well I had I had to

160
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: correct somebody on that because they said those seven interceptions

161
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: are more interceptions than any Cowboy player had since Michael

162
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Downs in nineteen eighty three. I oh, no, eighty four

163
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: And I said, no, oh, I think some guy named

164
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: Walls had nine and eighty five. Okay, that's true. How

165
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: do they forget about me? Spas? I don't know I

166
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of listing. Oh my god, man,

167
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: you know you guys, you guys should give me more

168
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: shout outs on whatever you do, because obviously I am

169
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: fading in everyone's memory. So thank God for this show.

170
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: I can bring it back up. Well, no, thank you

171
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: for the show, because I think we spoke about that

172
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: and I remembered I said, no, I think Everson had

173
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: nine one crazy, I don't remember. I love Michael Downs,

174
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: but I don't remember any Michael Downs interceptions. I remember

175
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: every single one of Everson Walls seven interceptions of this career. Hey,

176
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: I gotta say, in fairness to Mike, he saved my

177
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: ass many times. So uh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna

178
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: have to differ with you on that one, Bill because

179
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: Mike might never forget me on that one. That's what

180
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: the boys need to do. They need to get local

181
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: guys like Everson Walls out of high school and Michael Downs. Yeah,

182
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: we knew the culture coming in. We knew Tom Langer

183
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: didn't play, We knew we were going to have to

184
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: work hard, and we knew our secondary already sucked. So

185
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: we came in ready to play. We came in ready

186
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: to go. And Charlie Waters like, come all in here,

187
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: young fellow. You could do all the work and I

188
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: can sit back here on my one leg and just

189
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: have a good time and play it out. That's just

190
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: what happened, you know. The bottom line? Yeah ahead, I'm

191
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna say. The bottom line on these safeties though, is

192
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: you know they're basically signing wall to one year deals,

193
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: so it doesn't preclude them from drafting a guy uh,

194
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, second third, fourth round, uh to go along

195
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: with Donovan Wilson. I saw where demonte Kaz. Is that

196
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: how I say it? Bill, Yes, that's how you say it.

197
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's right or not right, Caz case,

198
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, he basically signed a one year

199
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: deal for the veteran exception, so that kind of tells

200
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: you what kind of market value he may not have had.

201
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: So his cap hit for this year is only nine

202
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven thousand, five hundred dollars that I

203
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: was going to give Everson. So with the veteran exception,

204
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: you get a you get a minimum signing bonus which

205
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is one hundred and thirty seven thousand and five hundred

206
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: and then basically it's a one year, one point two

207
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: seven million dollars deal, so very similar to those other

208
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: offensive line I mean defensive lineman. They signed offensive lineman too,

209
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: by the way, all these one year deals that they've

210
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: been signing, and Bill I also saw and expect it's

211
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: less money than less money than those guys early. Yeah,

212
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: those were those were four and five hundred thousand dollars

213
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: signing bonuses and this was just a two hundred thousand

214
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus per Kaze and in fact mentioned market value.

215
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: It turns out Xavier Woods had a better market value

216
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: than demonte Kazi did because he signed for basically what

217
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were given these other guys, which was a

218
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: base of one point seven five million with incentives up

219
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: to two point two five with Minnesota over the weekend. Yeah,

220
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: because his signing, they at least gave him a signing

221
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: bonus of five hundred thousand with a base of one

222
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: point two five So his cap hit is one point

223
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: seven five for this year. So to me, that tells

224
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: me that he didn't price himself out of the Cowboys market.

225
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: They just decided to go ahead and move on. And

226
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: if you look at all these other contracts, they signed

227
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: guys to Terrell? Is it Terrell? Terrell Basham had the

228
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: most lucrative deal. If lucrative is two years, five point

229
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: five million, So again that's not an extreme amount when

230
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: his base salary is two point five million for this

231
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: year and he has three point seven five million guaranteed.

232
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: So again that's lucrative as far as I'm concerned. Yes,

233
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: but what you see going around the league right now,

234
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: but this is but ever since, right it's a lot

235
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: of one year deals and everybody's kind of hoping for

236
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: a prove it deal that they can come in and

237
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: have a good year and then get a bigger contract

238
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: when the salary cap goes back up next year. I

239
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: do recall when I went to the Giants from the Cowboys.

240
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Obviously I was one of the higher paid players on

241
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys before they got rid of me, and then

242
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: when I signed with the Giants, now you're like starting

243
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: all over. I do recall coming in with a two

244
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: year deal. I think you're like half a meal apiece.

245
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: And that wasn't bad back then, but it wasn't anything

246
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: that you could, you know, really brag about, especially coming

247
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: off the career that I had had, So it made

248
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: me by signing that short term deal. I was gonna

249
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: be hungry anyway, but you definitely understand the urgency of

250
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: the situation because if you don't play well, if you

251
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: don't practice well in training camp, then they really had

252
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: invested that much in you, so you can be out

253
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: of that, you know, And so I wanted to make

254
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: sure that I made. You have to make a quick impression.

255
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: I was a veteran, so they were looking forward to

256
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: me making plays. But if you're one of the younger

257
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: guys out there trying to sign a one year deal

258
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: like that, you better come in making smoke happen from

259
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: day one. That needs to be your incentive. So to

260
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: put that money into perspective. In eighty six, when the

261
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys the usfl folded in, the Cowboys signed Herschel Walker.

262
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: It was basically a one million dollars a year deal

263
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: and that was considered huge, right. And I remember when

264
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Tony Dorset reported to training camp and somebody said, well,

265
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: what do you think of herschel getting a million dollars?

266
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: And he goes, I feel like a million dollar man. Hint, hint.

267
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: He wanted he wanted to get his but that was

268
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: that was that was that was considering that was considered

269
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: very controversial as well as it was bringing in a

270
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: guy like Hersha Walker when you already have a future

271
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer in your in your backfield, that's when

272
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: you knew things were going off the rails over Valley Rent.

273
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: Getting back to my point about the gaping hole at

274
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: at cornerback, I think it's clear right now, it's clear

275
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are taking a cornerback in either the

276
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: first or second round of this draft. Uh do you

277
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: think they're fine? Though, Mickey? As far as any any

278
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: more veteran guys at cornerback before the draft, you know,

279
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: I think it would have to be another very inexpensive

280
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: one year deal on somebody. If that guy is out there,

281
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: you know, they still have Rashard Robinson, right, and you

282
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: know he's got a little bit of experience. I don't know.

283
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: You know, at times he played well and then towards

284
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: the end he didn't play very well. So I don't

285
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: know if they look at him as a corner And

286
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: the same thing with c J. Goodwin. You know, he's

287
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: a special teams guy, and you know he's a guy

288
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: that's just going to count one point six million against

289
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: the cap. They signed him to a three year a

290
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: three year deal and gave him an eight hundred thousand

291
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus. So but again, how about Maurice Kennedy

292
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: And they have his right opted out? He was signed

293
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, he was signed last offseason. He opted

294
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: out right and all those contracts carry over to this

295
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: year and so technically he's still on the roster. But

296
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything about But they haven't released no, no,

297
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: they Yeah. Experience think the biggest thing is you want

298
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: you want to go into the draft having all your

299
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: positions filled where you don't have to draft for need.

300
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: You have priorities, but you can go out and you

301
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: can Basically, I think the best philosophy through free agency

302
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: is you do enough where you could actually go out

303
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: and play a game on draft day where you don't

304
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: have to fill in the desperate need. I would say

305
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: that Cowboys have a pretty desperate need UH in the

306
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: secondary to add talent back there, but they don't have

307
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: to UH in the first or second round do that. UM.

308
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: And there's other veteran guys out there, uh in veteran

309
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: cornerbacks that are out there in free agency too. That

310
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: will probably still be out there even after the draft

311
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: and see how it shakes out. Yeah, then after where

312
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: your draft at France goes down. Right, So well, you

313
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: talked about you talked about Robinson's facts. That's a good one.

314
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: This guy's he played cornerback in college. Correct, Yes, he

315
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: did play corn cornerback. Tall. I know people, he's not that.

316
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: He's a little bit tall for a cornerback. You know

317
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: the way they have coming out of college these days.

318
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: But you know, when you look at somebody who's had

319
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: one year experience, you expect them to come in the

320
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: next year and you know, after having a few games

321
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: under their belt to be able to improve. I have

322
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: played with young players. I came in playing with young players.

323
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Was that I was that young player. Initially, I'm sure

324
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Charlie Waters was very concerned about who was coming in

325
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: when they brought it in, Michael Downs. But this guy,

326
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, came in and did what Michael Downs did.

327
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: Even though Bill doesn't remember any of his plays. Michael Downs,

328
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: actually he actually played had a pretty good career. Uh

329
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: And even when I'm w he did. Even when I

330
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: went to the Giants, we had two young safeties that

331
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: we had to deal with, and that was Greg Jackson

332
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: and Myron Guiden, and those two guys stepped up because

333
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: you had two cornerbacks that had a little bit of

334
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: experience in myself and Mark Collins. So you have to

335
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: look forward to them developing, don't. We don't We have

336
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: to look forward to them making plays. I knew I

337
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: was disappointed about Brown and talked about how they don't

338
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: really they need to use their games and that game

339
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: experience to get better. Someone that they have signed the

340
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: younger guys, they have to show improvement. They have to

341
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: show development. Hopefully Trayvon can show that this offseason. This

342
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: train account. But as you say, we go into a draft, yeah,

343
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: we might need to draft a corner but I still

344
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: want what I signed and what I paid for in

345
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: previous years to show me some type of development. Either

346
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: they bring it out themselves. You have to have coaches

347
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: that are able to show them the era of their

348
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: ways and make them improve. I just I have seen

349
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: players come here and who have been stagnant in their development.

350
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: If you don't come in ready to play, that's great,

351
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: but you have to show me improvement and development. I

352
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: want to see that in our young guys. And we

353
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: need to hear a break. But we also need to

354
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: make the distinction that there are two Robinson's in that

355
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys secondary. Of course, Richard Robinson, who started some games

356
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: at cornerback last year. I believe it was three games. Now,

357
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: he was a fourth round pick back not of the

358
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys of San Francisco back in twenty sixteen, so he's

359
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: a more veteran guy. And then the guy you're talking about,

360
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Everson Reggie Robinson, who was the Cowboys fourth round pick

361
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: last year and didn't get much playing time and was

362
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: actually the previous regime. And as far as the defensive

363
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: coaches are concerned, we're looking at him at safe and

364
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see what Joe Witt Junior,

365
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: the secondary coach, and Dan Quinn view Reggie Robinson, whether

366
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: he works at safety or at cornerback, and of course

367
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: we won't know that probably until after the draft and

368
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: we get into OTAs and so forth. All Right, there's

369
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: so much going on. Alabama is having another Pro day

370
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: as we speak, and their quarterback Mac Jones is throwing again,

371
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: and the forty Niner brain trust is once again there

372
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: watching Mac Jones. Ohio States Pro Day is going on.

373

00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: probably Marian Barber. That's the way they always confuse me

422
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: with him. Hey Bill, there's no number twenty four right now,

423
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: and pretty soon, pretty soon to hit the pro shops

424
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: is this year's draft magazine the presses right now, Son,

425
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: you got it. We'll have some We'll always good to

426
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: have somebody on the inside hill that's right or here

427
00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: at the building. But there's a there's good. It's a

428
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: pretty comprehensive scouting reports on all the top prospects and

429
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: analysis on what the Cowboys have done or will do.

430
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: First round mock draft, and I sort of wrote a

431
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: piece on how the preparation for this draft for the

432
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: scouting department has been altered in a little bit more

433
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: difficult with the inability to have a combine. So a

434
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: lot of good reading, but stay tuned and we'll let

435
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: you know how you can get your hands on one

436
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: of these. All right, I want to get into the

437
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: movings and shakings in the draft and what happened last

438
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: Friday with San Francisco moving around, and how all of

439
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: that stuff kind of impacts the Cowboys. But as I

440
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: mentioned before the break, just moments ago, Tyrone Crawford has

441
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: made an official, a lengthy post on Instagram and Twitter

442
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: announcing his retirement from football. Of course, Mike Arthy at

443
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: his press conference last Thursday let the cat out of

444
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: the bag and Tyrone to to kind of summarize. He

445
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: says in his post that he didn't want to make

446
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: so much of an official farewell. He just wanted to

447
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: kind of ride off into the sunset. There's so many

448
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: people that he wants to think and he has proceeded

449
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: now to and what is our producer Chris Beams said

450
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: it was like a four page post on Instagram is

451
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: doing just that. But Mickey, he had a lot to say,

452
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: He had a lot to say that's exactly right. You

453
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: can only imagine. There's so many people that have impacted him.

454
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: First and foremost is his wife, Kelsey. He points out

455
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: he's been at his side through all of his surgeries

456
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: that he's had and throughout his journey. Mickey Tyrone nine

457
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: years in the NFL with the Cowboys, and that's a

458
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: very nice career. A third round draft pick out of

459
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: Boys State, you know, and a really good soldier for

460
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: a third round pick. I always have to call him

461
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman because when he would show up the

462
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: training camp after preparing in the off season to play

463
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, it's like, well, you know what, we need

464
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: you a defensive end. And then the years that they said, okay,

465
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: you're a defensive end, and then they get injuries inside

466
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: and said, well Tyrone, you're a defensive tackle. And he

467
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: never complained. He did what they asked him to do

468
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: and did it at a very professional level. I remember

469
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: one year we gosh, I think, I'm not sure if

470
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: it was in the off season or it was the

471
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: beginning of training camp. I was interviewing him and I said, so,

472
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: what are you a defensive end or defensive tackle? He said,

473
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. You tell me, he goes whatever they

474
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: tell me to play, I will play. And he would

475
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: adjust his weight because he would come in a little

476
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: heavier to play defensive tackle, and then they had to

477
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: move out the defensive end or he driveway to play

478
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: defensive end. And they said, well, you know what, at

479
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: two seventy, we want you at defensive tackle. So that's

480
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be to me. His legacy here over nine years

481
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: is he did whatever they asked him to do and

482
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: did it as well as he could. That's a great

483
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: legacy to have two Spags. When you look at his

484
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: career and we talk about the sacrifices he made physically,

485
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: think that the hip surgeries that he had in the

486
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: off season, and then he still comes back and tries

487
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: to contribute as best he can. You know, I coach

488
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: some kids every once in a while, and yes, Spags,

489
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: I do teach them all the bad habits that I

490
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: learned in the NFL. And one thing I tell them,

491
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: I said, the more you can do, the more you

492
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: can do. That makes you more valuable to almost any

493
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: team that you're on. If you're playing cornerback and they

494
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: ask you if you can play safety, you say, yes,

495
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: I can play safety now. In fact, you tell them

496
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: you were a safety. You just tell them whatever you

497
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: want to want they want to hear, to make sure

498
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: that they have a comfort zone with you. The Cowboys

499
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: had a great comfort zone with Tyrone Crawford, a guy

500
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: that you know, we talked about the big names in

501
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: these organizations, and the big names are always what drives

502
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: that notoriety. But when it comes to really the heart

503
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: and the soul of the teams, this guy's like Tyrone Crawford,

504
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: who are the ones that really keep us in good standing?

505
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: And once again I throw guys like Michael Dowell's in

506
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: there who just did all the hard work and really

507
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: didn't get much fans fair for it. So yeah, the

508
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford is he should go down as one of

509
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: the favorite Cowboys of this particular generation of players. You know, guys,

510
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: sometimes you just can't define a player's career by stats.

511
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: You have to be around it and see it. And

512
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 1: I know before he decided that hip surgery was in

513
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: his future, dual hip surgery, by the way, he was contemplating,

514
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: do I really want to come back and play? You know,

515
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: I've done a lot and I'll tell you what. I've

516
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: got the greatest respect for anybody in this game, including

517
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: a couple of these dbs. The Cowboys sign that come

518
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: back from a torn achilles, that's no joke. That is difficult.

519
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: And he tore his in training camp and I'll never

520
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: forget it was a couple of years later. He went

521
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: down and let out it was early in training camp,

522
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: the loudest screen you ever heard, and they carted him

523
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: off and his biggest fear was he retore the achilles.

524
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: It didn't, It wasn't. It ended up being a really

525
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: bad ankle foot sprain, but he worried so much about that.

526
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: So the fact that he came back and played another year,

527
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: I think that's just a credit to who he is

528
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: and the fact that he wanted to come back improved

529
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: to everybody that he could come back and play. You know.

530
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: The other thing, Mickey, just look at last year with

531
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and he was in the last year of

532
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: his contract. This shows I think the respect that the

533
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: organization had for Tyrone Crawford because if you look at

534
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: what the breakdown on his contract last year, what was it.

535
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: He had a base salary of eight million dollars last

536
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: year and they could have very easily released him and

537
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: saved a lot of money on the salary cap. But

538
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: they had so much respect for Crawford, not only his

539
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: ability as a football player, his leadership in the locker room,

540
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: and his want to to come back from the surgeries

541
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: that he would be able to get back to be

542
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: able to contribute on the field, that they didn't tear

543
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: up that contract. They didn't release him, and they and

544
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: he played it out, And that is uncommon in this league.

545
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: But I think it really shows the respect that the

546
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: entire organization, the coaching staff in the front office had

547
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: for what Tyrone Crawford had contributed to this team. You know,

548
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: I gotta say one thing as you look at the

549
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: different organizations when you go back to the eighties, seventies,

550
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: and then you compare them to the old regime to this.

551
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: When I say new regime, more recent regime with Jerry

552
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: and the guys, it's a little bit more politically correct,

553
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: don't you think Guys back in the day give brand

554
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: Tex Stram. They wouldn't give a hoot about any player,

555
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: no matter how much respect he had. We had guys

556
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman like Coop the point guardways have Coop that

557
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: played on a bad knee almost his whole career, eventually

558
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: had to have knee replacement. You know, you had an

559
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and tight ends who were playing with search

560
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: with bad injuries all the time, and they knew if

561
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: they got the surgery, they were gonna get cut right

562
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: after they came back. You know, it's so different now

563
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: compared to what it was then. Now, I don't know

564
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing, because we were winning back then,

565
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: even though we were being treated like crap. I mean,

566
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean like like dog crap. But now the way

567
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: that Jerry Show's favor in a good way took out

568
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: like Tylone Crawford, you, I don't think you have gotten

569
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: that type of treatment. Tyrone Crawford wouldn't have gotten that

570
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: type of treatment if we were still over a Valley ranch. Hey, Bill,

571
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna point out one thing when you asked

572
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: about gaping hole on the roster, and I was gonna

573
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: bring up the linebacker position. And I think you got

574
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: a good look at the guy I've been talking about.

575
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: What if you got to number ten and the best

576
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: defensive player in the draft is still on the board,

577
00:34:53,719 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: would you take a linebacker named Micah Parsons, Mike Parsons, Wow,

578
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: just go look at his tape, the Penn State linebacker,

579
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: and it blows you away. His speed. I think he

580
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: ran a four three nine at his protam No that okay,

581
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: that's all. It's hand it's hand salivating. Now you got

582
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: me salivating here. I'm salivating now. Now he's not gonna

583
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: be there, and I'm gonna be mad now when the

584
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: draft going, And to make elevate a little bit more.

585
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: He's six three and one eighth two hundred and forty

586
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: six pounds and he bench pressed two twenty five nineteen

587
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: times and ran and that was the slowest one that

588
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: they hand timed him. Now because it's not the combine,

589
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: but they hand timed him for three nine. By the way,

590
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: if you're around the four five as a linebacker, I'm

591
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: still impressed. You know that. That is amazing. I did

592
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: not know his forty time was that good. I thought

593
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: he was really just all initiative and drive. But he's

594
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: also extremely talented. So that's something that I'd love to

595
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: go with. And you're talking about the gap guys, we're

596
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: talking about Tyler Crawford leaving and all them didn't sign

597
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: right they're not bringing back Aldon Smith. There's a big

598
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: gap right there in our defensive lineman positions. So you know,

599
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: if we have a defensive lineman that's available, that's a

600
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: hell of a defensive lineman. Are there any out there

601
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: Spags that you would I know you wouldn't have the

602
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: same feeling as you would with the Penn State guy,

603
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: but any defensive lineman out there that would make us

604
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: change our minds and go another direction. If he's the

605
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: best available player, well we're ready to pick. Yeah. And

606
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that they go defensive end that early,

607
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: and no tackles are probably available at that point. But

608
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: all I know, and you know, say what you want

609
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: about Charlie Casserley or however he evaluates people, but castile,

610
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: he said. Number one thing about Parson. He finds the

611
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: football instincts jump off the tape and he can pass,

612
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: rush off the line of scrimmage, blitzing or blitzing. So

613
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: you know, if anybody needs to look, just go look

614
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: at the twenty nineteen Cotton Bowl and he was the

615
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: most valuable player in that game for Penn State. But again,

616
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, look at the linebacker position other than the

617
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: two guys you know, are starters with Layton Vanderish and

618
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. As I said last week, who's next, because

619
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: it's Luke Gifford, Bernard Francis and they don't really have

620
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: anything else. So now they talked about playing Kean O'Neil

621
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: starting off with the linebackers, but again he's two sixteen,

622
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: And I understand playing safety and making tackles against the run,

623
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: but lining up at linebacker and trying to make tackles

624
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: is another thing. And so especially if it's not Yeah,

625
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: especially if it's not in nickel situations. So yeah, to me,

626
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: linebacker is a need. And you know, and I get it,

627
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: You don't you have to get everybody in the first round.

628
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: You got a hit on second round, third round, fourth

629
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: round guys that can come in and play. And again

630
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: I'll go back to Bill bringing up the safety position.

631
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, this this this draft is not all about

632
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one because all these guys we talked about

633
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: signed one year deals, So who knows if you can

634
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: bring them back if they have a good year, or

635
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: what if they don't have a good year and you

636
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: got to move on. So, yeah, you name a position

637
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: on defense, and I got my hand in the air

638
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: and saying, yeah, they need one of those. That's exactly right.

639
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: So here's the other thing though about this draft for

640
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, with what's happening with the quarterback market. In

641
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: this draft, you're looking at and Urban Meyer basically admitted

642
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: this past week that they're taking Trevor Lawrence number one overall,

643
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: number two. The Jets are taking a quarterback, and the

644
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: most of the speculation is Zach Wilson out of BYU.

645
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: And then you've got San Francisco moves up and gives

646
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: up the ranch to move up from twelve to three.

647
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: Uh and obviously they're taking a quarterback at three. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

648
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Now. Now the speculation is who who

649
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: is it that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have their

650
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: eyes on at quarterback. Let's say Lawrence and Wilson go

651
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: one and two to the Jags and the Jets. All right,

652
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: is it Justin Fields, the Ohio state quarterback. Is it

653
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, the North Dakota State quarterback, or is it

654
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Mac Jones the Alabama quarterback that the forty nine ers

655
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: have their eyes on? You know, most of those the

656
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 1: quote unquote, so called experts with the mock drafts prior

657
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: to San Francisco moving up to number three on Friday,

658
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: they basically had it as Lawrence, either Wilson or Fields.

659
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: There's your top three. Trey Lance also in the mix

660
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: in North Dakota State, although there's not a great body

661
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: of work on him just yet. It only played one

662
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: game in the fall because North Dakota State didn't have

663
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: a season, and then mac Jones was he was considered

664
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: on mid first round whatever it will. Now, the scuttlebutt

665
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: around the league is that it's actually mac Jones that

666
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: the Niners are interested in and that he would fit

667
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: shanahan system. Well, the Niners were at mac Jones pro

668
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: day last two day and I'm sitting here watching it

669
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: right now, and both Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch are

670
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 1: at Alabama's second pro day to day and mac Jones

671
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 1: is out there throwing a second pro day in front

672
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: of those coaches, which is going to lead to more

673
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: speculation that it's actually mac Jones. How does this relate

674
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. Well, now you're looking if if that

675
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: is true and mac Jones is going to be the

676
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: third pick, well then you've got justin fields you got

677
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. There could be five quarterbacks taken in the

678
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: top nine picks of the draft, meaning that for the

679
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys picking at number ten and they're out of the

680
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: quarterback market, you're basically looking at a five player draft

681
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. As far as positions of need for them,

682
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty remarkable for them. They're sitting at a pretty

683
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: good spot. The Cowboys are at number ten. Well, if

684
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: you think about it, if there's nine picks ahead of them,

685
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: if five end up being quarterbacks, and I'll guarantee you

686
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: they're waving the flag for that, Yeah, take them quarterbacks.

687
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: There's probably two wide receivers they're going to go in

688
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: the top ten, and there's a tight end as a

689
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: tight end, and at least two offensive linemen probably worthy

690
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: of a top ten pick. So when it gets to

691
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, unless somebody does something you don't expect, they

692
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: should have their choice of cornerback. And if the Giants

693
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: don't take Micah Parsons because they I think they think

694
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: he's the next Lawrence Taylor, then he's sitting there for

695
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys too. And then you have the option of, well,

696
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: what if somebody one of them top five quarterbacks hadn't

697
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: gone yet, and somebody wants them at ten. You know,

698
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: if you move back a couple two or three spots,

699
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: you can get another second round pick for sure. Maybe

700
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: if it's if they think they're getting a quarterback, you

701
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: get next year's first or something. So they're in a

702
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: pretty good spot at number ten because they don't need

703
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And I like that position because to me,

704
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: it would be just like last year. I'd be extremely comfortable.

705
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: If you've got these quarterbacks going all in the top

706
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: five picks, then they're gonna make room for the roster

707
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: for these quarterbacks, and that just might mean a veteran

708
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: has to be let go, and one of those veterans

709
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: could come here to the Cowboys. We could sign him

710
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: as we did Andy Dalton last year, and we could

711
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: save that money as far as draft as concerns and

712
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: things of that nature and signing bonuses, and we could

713
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: go that route while picking up a good defender, a

714
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: good cornerback, or a good linebacker instead in that first round.

715
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: To me, that's a good idea. That's a good way

716
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: to go. All right. We got much more to get

717
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: to in regards to not only the draft, but also

718
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: the NFL owners convening this week and things are going

719
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: to be hammered out as far as a seventeen game schedule.

00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: you why. Kelvin Sampson's done a wonderful job. Yeah, school,

768
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: and I think it gets overlooked. And by the way,

769
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: my saving grace to make up ground, I had picked

770
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Houston to go to the finals against Gonzaga. So if

771
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: they can somehow some way beat Baylor, I would be

772
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. All I know. In regards to we,

773
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: I forgot about the women's muff. Uh. The Baylor women

774
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: are not feeling too celebrated right now. Well, it's such

775
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: such a shame for losing that manner. How do they

776
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: not make that call? How do you call? They could

777
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: have called it. Both of them should have got four shots. Now,

778
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: those girls, those girls should have gotten arrested. That's how

779
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: hard they hit her. One hitter in the arm, the

780
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: other hit in the face. That's that's an assault. I mean,

781
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how they could could let that go.

782
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: Everyone's tweeting about it and how you know, the miscarriage

783
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: of justice that occurred. Just you just hate to see

784
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: a game go down like that. I know, rest I

785
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: have swallowed the whistle, you know, in the last few seconds,

786
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: last possession, so to speak. But some things are just

787
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: so obvious you gotta you gotta call it as even

788
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: though if it goes against your you know, whatever thing

789
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: you got going on. If I was Kim Lucky, I

790
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: would have got thrown out of the game. I don't

791
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: know how much time was left, like point eight seconds

792
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, they would have had to

793
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: carry me off the court before they restarted the game,

794
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: which is why why I'm not a coach? Right? And

795
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: which which network carries the women's tournament? ESPN? Yeah, yeah, right, guy?

796
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: Conspiracy theorist. Literally, I know this for a fact that

797
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: inside those uh that building at ESPN, the Yukon women's

798
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: basketball team probably is more is more popular than the

799
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: New York Yankees inside that building. Interesting, Yeah, and that

800
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: was unquestioned that you have to make that call. It

801
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: was crazy as we celebrate National Women's mouth here on

802
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: mix shots. Okay, so today and tomorrow the virtual owners

803
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: meetings will take place, right, and it seems like it's

804
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: going to be a rubber stamp to play a seventeenth

805
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: game and reduce the preseason to three games. So where

806
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: do you guys thought thoughts on that? Because that issue

807
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: and how they decide to go forward with the offseason

808
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: in relation to OTA's mini camps and what the players

809
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: will be allowed to do are not allowed to do

810
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: this year seem to be the biggest issues of this

811
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: owner's meeting. You know, to me, this is typical of

812
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, this American business. It's the way businesses they

813
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: are on capitalism. If they're gonna pay you more money,

814
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: then they want to drain more out of you. That's

815
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: just the way it is. They're getting this this great

816
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: TV contract and I'm talking about the NFL owners getting

817
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: this great TV contract, they know that they're even though

818
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: that they're receiving money, they know they're gonna have to

819
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: pay a lot out. That's what Dak Prescott's entire strategy

820
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: was in regards to holding out for more money, so

821
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: to speak, knowing that the salaries are going to go

822
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: up after this new TV contract. So the owners are

823
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: sitting in the meetings going, hey, guys, we're gonna have

824
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: to pay all these players, and they're typical owner fashion.

825
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: What can we get out of this from them? We don't.

826
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: We're going to pay them, but we're going to also

827
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: increase their output or their their load. We're going to

828
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: increase the load that we put on them as players.

829
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: And that's just the way business is. They don't want

830
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: to so call and they think give away that money

831
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: and not get anything from it, So they decide to

832
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: add another game to it. And when you when you

833
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: think about it, what the NFL started way back in

834
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: the day with maybe twelve games spags. If i'm then

835
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: then when then fourteen? Then fourteen games? Was the was

836
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: the the limit there? Back for a minute, because I

837
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: know that's when Night Train Lane end up getting like

838
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: fifteen freaking in the setons in fourteen games, something that

839
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: I never I knew I'd never be able to do. So, yeah,

840
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: fourteen games. Now after sixteen nine he would go seventeen them.

841
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens when they have the next TV contract.

842
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna move it up to nineteen are We're going

843
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: for a twenty games season, no preseason? I hope I'm

844
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna try and get all they get out of it.

845
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: I hope when they do that, still doing mixed shows.

846
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: I hope I'm still align with the still doing that.

847
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: The show may go on. They want to be a

848
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: co host. So yeah, hey Bill, what do you think

849
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: because this seems like the nfl PA gave some concessions

850
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: up from a monetary standpoint, from captap to basically they say, okay,

851
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: you can decide if we get a seventeenth game. It

852
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: seems like it's just a rubber stamp procedure here now.

853
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: And I think where the where the player? Where the

854
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: owners convinced the players it would be worth her while

855
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: to do that is because of they knew what was

856
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: available in this TV contract. If they not only expanded

857
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: to where you got a seventeen game regular season, but

858
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: more importantly than that is you expand you extend the

859
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: season on indo February. From a TV standpoint, February is

860
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: a sweet month and which is big for TV as

861
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: far as their ratings go and their sales and so forth.

862
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: They make a lot of money during that month of

863
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: February if you've got NFL games on your network, and

864
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: so now you're gonna, for instance, the twenty twenty, well,

865
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: this coming super Bowl will now be played. I think

866
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: it would be February thirteenth with a seventeen game season,

867
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: fresh back a week, and so now you're taking up

868
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: half of the month of February, which is a huge

869
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: TV ratings month, and you're I think the regular season

870
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: would not end until January ninth or tenth, so your

871
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: postseason is starting in mid mid January. You're basically going

872
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: mid January to mid February on it. So I think

873
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: that's that was one of the keys on it. And

874
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: it gets back to whatever since talking about it's money,

875
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I think the NFL, and I know

876
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: the horse is out of the barn. It's a done deal.

877
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. But the NFL has since nineteen

878
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: seventy seven, I think has had the perfect setup of

879
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: the sixteen game season. One of the reasons that the

880
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: NFL is so popular is the fact that every game

881
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,959
Speaker 1: really matters during this season because they play sixteen games.

882
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: Compare it, Compare it to the NBA or the NHL,

883
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: and you've got these eighty two game seasons, these NBA

884
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: regular season games. Who cares who went? We already know

885
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: by just looking at the rosters who's going to make

886
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. There's there's no meaning to these regular season games.

887
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: And so I think with the NFL, when you're stretching

888
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: it out to a seventeen game regular season and who

889
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: knows a couple of years and they may go eighteen

890
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: games whatever, I think when you take the importance of

891
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: the regular season games away, you may be walking down

892
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: a path that you don't want to go down. Well.

893
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: And then the other part of it is from a

894
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: player acquisition stand point, and everything can speak to this,

895
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: just the wear and tear on players. We're seeing the

896
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: injured list us being used more and more. Of course,

897
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: last year was a different year because of COVID, they

898
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: had different rules, but uh uh yeah, you basically have

899
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: to have a ninety man roster that Mike McCarthy's talking

900
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: about last year or last week, because you're you're with

901
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: your practice squad and everything. You're basically we're gonna use

902
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: seventy five eighty players during the season. Good point. That's

903
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: a good point, Well, and Andrew, the injury's a gonna

904
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: pile up. Go ahead. Fact now I was I was

905
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: just gonna say yeah, And I think possibly they need

906
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: to adopt some of the things they did last year

907
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: to get through the pandemic affected the season. You know

908
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: what about you know you there's no load management in

909
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, and especially if you keep it the playoffs

910
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: the way they were right and you only get one

911
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: team gets a buy. No one's loafing the last two

912
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: or one or two weeks of the season because that

913
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: buy is so important. And then the fact that you

914
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: might have the extra teams in the playoffs, I think

915
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: that's significant. The other thing I've seen where the way

916
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: they're going to have a rotating basis the NFC will

917
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: play the AFC in corresponding divisions. So from the Cowboys standpoint,

918
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: the NFC East will play the AFC East in the

919
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: corresponding position. You've finished which means the Cowboys would be

920
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: at New England for the extra seventeenth game of the year,

921
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: and the AFC's hosting the seventeenth game this year. Next

922
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: year it'll be the NFC. So yeah, I think it's

923
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I think that they have to

924
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 1: continue to consider the forty eight man game day roster

925
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: and can continue to make adjustments to injured reason deserve

926
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: where you don't have to be out for eight weeks

927
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: before you're ready to come back. I think those are

928
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: things that need to be discussed now. The thing that

929
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: bothers me is the NFLPA is pushing for virtual OTAs

930
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: and virtual mini camps, and J. C. Treder is, the

931
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: player president of the nfl PA, keeps saying that the

932
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: league was better last year not having an offseason, and

933
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: I disagree with him. I think defenses suffered tremendously with

934
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: not having an offseason, and all we gotta do is

935
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: look out the window here and see what the difference

936
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: was with no offseason and not an excuse, right because

937
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: everybody played by the same rules. But I don't think

938
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: the level of play was as high as it normally

939
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: is by eliminating the offseason help, and it hurts the

940
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: players because young guys don't haven't as much an opportunity.

941
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: Now it's one less preseason game right to impress people.

942
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: And you got no offseason to make an impression on

943
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: anybody if you don't have that training. And I still

944
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: say it increases the level of injuries that take place

945
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: without that type of preparation for the regular season. Well

946
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: I have. I'm going to charge this to one of

947
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: you guys. Since I don't do homework, maybe we should chart.

948
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we should chart that. I mean, take a look

949
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: at you know, how did they score me more points

950
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: this year? Did we have more defensive injuries this year?

951
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: Those are kind of things I could I could say,

952
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: it could be easily checked out. But as you look

953
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: at Bill's scenario, Go ahead, Bill, Well, I was gonna say,

954
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: I've done the research, and the Cowboys gave up more

955
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: points than they have in the sixty one year history.

956
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: Said there, you go by this team anyway. No, but

957
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: I would have to say, based but based on your

958
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: logic in regards to February being such a marketing month

959
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: for TV and things of that nature, why don't we

960
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: just move the season? Push the season back. Instead of

961
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: worrying about August and training camp and preseason games in August,

962
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: why don't we move all that stuff into September and

963
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: then you can have your regular season going into late January,

964
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: and then the super Bowl is going to be later

965
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: into February. I don't see a reason why we are

966
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: held to starting the preseason in August or in September.

967
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't is there any advantage to that. We could

968
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: change that as opposed to adding another game. You understand

969
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Just move the season back as opposed

970
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: to adding another game if you want to take advantage

971
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: of February. That's my point. Well, understand that the new

972
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: shows start the beginning of February. I mean the beginning

973
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: of September. I Television, it's back to TV. That's right

974
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: to the to be in. The new season starts with

975
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: the Sunday after Labor Day, Right, that's the whole that's

976
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: win the seasons. But the NFL season starts also, Well,

977
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do about fourth did July? Then? What

978
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: about what about fourth did July? We want to get

979
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: some of that money too, right, I mean, come on

980
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: that again, Mickey, that is so old school, right, I know. Yeah,

981
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: and that thus moved the season back. That's what I'm saying,

982
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: moved the season up to you know, late September. Why

983
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm married to that. But I see what you're saying.

984
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: All right, we run out of time. Oh No, of

985
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: mix shots, I had a list for you and another

986
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: the top the top guys at at Ohio State were

987
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: scheduled to work out today other than justin Field, so

988
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: linebacker Baron Browning, linebacker Pete Werner, offensive lineman Wyatt Davis,

989
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: and Josh uh I didn't write his name down very well.

990
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Josh McGee. Maybe defensive tackle Tommy Togia and running back

991
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Trey Sermon. Those are their top guys, huh. So. And

992
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: and we're being told that Mike McCarthy is at Ohio State.

993
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: So why would he be at Ohio State? Probably got

994
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: tons of players to keep an eye on. This is

995
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: not all about the first round, right, And you've got Browning,

996
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: the linebacker, is the most notable name as far as

997
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm concerned on that list. He's from Kennadale right here

998
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: in the metroplex. The first rounder is he considered the

999
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: first rounder? He's in his name, No, he's not. In fact,

1000
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I looked at I looked at a top one hundred

1001
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: list Pro Football Focus. That he's not on the top

1002
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: one hundred. I would think though, he's probably could move

1003
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: up into the second or third pun isn't that the

1004
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: poor linebacker who ended up in single coverage on DeVante

1005
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Smith in the championship game? No, it wasn't Baron brown Okay, No,

1006
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: it was a different linebacker. Yeah, Brownie, h Brownie was

1007
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: highly all Ohio State players are highly recruited. But he

1008
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,919
Speaker 1: was one of our Landry Award finalists three years ago

1009
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: coming out of Cannadale, and uh now he'd be He

1010
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: looked very good in the Cowboys uniform, and he's got

1011
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: those same qualities where he can rush off the edge

1012
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: a little bit too. All right, Anyway, as long as

1013
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: it's a big game notebook, Hey, I'm starting, I'm starting.

1014
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: What are you saying? I said? As long as that

1015
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: that poor Ohio State linebacker that was chasing Dete Smith, Yeah,

1016
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I got I'm starting to fill up my twenty twenty

1017
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: one Big Green NFL Draft scouting notebook, and so I'm

1018
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: going to have some nuggets for you out of that

1019
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. Leading up to the draft, and

1020
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm kept mine right here. Okay, all right, I'd better

1021
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: hurry up. Chris is leaving the room. Chris is walking

1022
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: out of the room. All right. That does it for
