Speaker 1: the Beautiful Star in Fresco. And it's not eleven thirty

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. You know it's not Bill Jones with

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola here in the SWBC podcast studio and Everson Walls,

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: who is here too, he's not in the studio. I

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: wonder if he's out on the practice field trying a

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: comeback with the Cowboys as they are out on the

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: practice field as we speak. I am actually doing that, Bill,

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: because I am here right now at the two Lane

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Help System Professional Athlete care team building. Believe it or not,

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: I am going for a comeback. At sixty two years old,

17
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I have shrunk a half an inch and lost about

18
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: ten pounds for my playing days. So I'm ready. I'm ready.

19
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: So they're assessing you, and you're being assessed. Well, I

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: am being assessed out of the ass okay, and and

21
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: for that big comeback, and so the Cowboys could use

22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you're coming back as a safety or a cornerback. Well,

23
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: since my boy Marquis Bell is doing so damn well,

24
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna have to come back at the

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: cornerback because he has the safety position locked down. According

26
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: to Mickey Stack, Noah, that's right, And I think that

27
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we'll be interested to see how they use them again

28
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: this tomorrow when we actually get to watch practice. Yes,

29
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: last week it was a Wednesday open practice for the media.

30
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: This week it's a Thursday open practice for the media,

31
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: which is why we are doing mix shots on Wednesday

32
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: at one pm instead of Thursday at eleven thirty. Ay.

33
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: And as we go forward, just be very flexible because

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: next week's schedule is the same there it's open on Thursday,

35
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: and then it's Minicamp week the week after that, and

36
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: then it's open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So we got some

37
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: forward planning to do when we're gonna continue doing mix

38
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: shots and before we take our summer break, a tractor that.

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: So everybody had a good Memorial Day weekend, Yes, I

40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: know I did. I actually went to the Rangers game

41
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: when they played Tampa Bay, all right, and you saw

42
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: them when I saw them win. I saw Eli I

43
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: believe his name, and robbed I mean just as we

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: sat down, he robbed Joy. Okay, I think it was

45
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: a three run homer in the first end. If that

46
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: thing goes over the wall and doesn't come back, we're

47
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: looking at the totally different ball game. Guys. That's right,

48
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: Eli of white center fielder out of Clemson University who's

49
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: got a vertical that matches about Byron Jones's vertical apparently,

50
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: or could probably broad jump like Byron Jones. That I mean,

51
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: he didn't get up six feet let's say, like his

52
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: his his belt line was over the wall. Yeah, yeah,

53
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: that I thought his belt line was on on like

54
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: on top of the cushion that was at the top

55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: of the wall. So yeah, he called it. How you

56
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: wanted that was? That was pretty impressed. Yep. And I

57
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: talked to him yesterday. He said in college at Clemson,

58
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: he was measured it with a thirty seven vertical, but

59
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: he was like that he thinks he estimates he's probably

60
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: at a forty vertical. Now, you know what the amazing

61
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: thing is about this team being five hundred. Right now

62
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: is Martin Perez is the leading pitcher in the major leagues?

63
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Right right? He had seven more shutout innings last night.

64
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: It's a veteran lefty who was with the Red Sox

65
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: last year. As we are talking Rangers there, Well, but

66
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you a funny story. It doesn't matter

67
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: if it's Cowboys or Rangers. Okay, you're gonna you're gonna

68
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: bring it back to Cowboy. No, no, I'm now let's

69
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: go to stay with Martin Perez. Um. You know, before

70
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: he left, Before he left the Rangers, like his last year,

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: they didn't resign him, and every time he pitched, it

72
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: was just a struggle. And I was sitting there, going,

73
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: what are they doing with this guy? Right? And a

74
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: friend of mine, his mother was upper eighties, almost ninety,

75
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: and she watched that's what his fastball was too back then.

76
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: And did she watch which isn't good enough in the

77
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: big leagues anymore. She watched baseball every night, he told me,

78
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: every night. And one day towards towards the ends of

79
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: the season, she calls him and goes, why are they

80
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: starting Martin Perez? And I said, I don't know, but

81
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: I said the same thing, right, and now he's turned

82
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: his career around this year. Yes, that's right, and uh

83
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: so's he would be your leading candidate to be the

84
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: American League starting pitcher in the All Star Game right now. Unbelievable,

85
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: and it is Everson. He's got the lowest urn run

86
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: average in all of baseball right now, one sixty and

87
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: he got hit actually one forty two. Now. He got

88
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: hit with a ninety seven mile hour line drive last

89
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: night and then pitched better and they didn't get another

90
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: hit off from the rest of the Cowboys have scouts

91
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: out there right now to figure out if this can

92
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: convert to the football field. Maybe he can be a

93
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: backup murder. There you go, there you go. Well, let

94
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: before we go to get off the ranger thing. I

95
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: have an entirely new love for baseball fans because as

96
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: we came to the game, you know, you want to

97
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: go to your seat, and after while you're like, you

98
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: know what, all these open seats, I'm gonna sit anywhere there,

99
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: and I want to sit, so I wanted. I wasn't

100
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: even sure if I was gonna write sections. So I

101
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: asked these guys of above me, some young cool white guys. Man,

102
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: they were just killing I said, hey, man, is this

103
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: sectually one thirty two? And they looked at me with

104
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: these beards like beard was in their eyes. You're like,

105
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude. We just moved out, so nobody

106
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: knows what they're sitting. But they started something. So we

107
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: started harassing the middle of the center fielder for Tampa

108
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: because he would never tell us the ball in our

109
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: section after warm ups. You know, they throw the ball

110
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: back and forth to each other between each inning. You know,

111
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: they'll take a ball and throw it in the stands

112
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: for a kid with the with the glove. Right, So

113
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: there's Everson with his glove and won't throw you the

114
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: ball help his glove. But the kid next to me

115
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: had a glove and I was trying to help him

116
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: out of His name was Kayden, So kay I just

117
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: met the kids he's gotten sitting there with a glove.

118
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: We strike up a conversation and every time the guys

119
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: seemed to look at us and look us off and

120
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: throw it another way. So all those those those beer

121
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: field guys behind us, they would I think his name

122
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: was Phillips by kurse Phillips out the entire game being

123
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: entired that you suck, you suck. I just I had

124
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: so much fun, man, I joined in with the guys

125
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: I met, you did I did seeing in in football,

126
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: you can't harass the playhers, right, Oh. In baseball, it's

127
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: a whole different ball game. Ball a little bit different.

128
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: They're used to it. They're used to it in Tampa

129
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: or in Saint Pete and that stadium where they only

130
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: get like four or five thousand people though, so you

131
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: can hear every word. Try And Rangers played in Oakland

132
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: this week last Friday night. Their attendance was thirty five hundred.

133
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: I covered a game. I didn't cover a game. I

134
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: watched the game in Kansas City when I was in

135
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: college at the old Stadiums Stadium and it was the

136
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: last year of the stadium before they built the new place.

137
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: And it was a night game, and I thought I

138
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: was in one of those minor league movie films because

139
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: I could hear the umpire Calleague balls up. It was

140
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: so desolate in there, right, it was like watching he

141
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: probably could too. But you can't harass football players who

142
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: are by the way out on the field today. Yeah,

143
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: and by the way, the Rangers back at five hundred

144
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: on the season, yes, twenty four and twenty four And

145
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: did you know this? Did you know this? With the

146
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Mavericks advancing to the Western Conference Finals this year, the

147
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Stars made the playoffs first round exit. Cowboys made the playoffs.

148
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: This is the first time since two thousand and seven,

149
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: the calendar year two thousand and seven, that the Cowboys, Stars,

150

Speaker 1: and Mavericks have made the playoffs in the same year.

151
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: And we're counting this, Oh, you're counting the boys. The

Speaker 1: that the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars and Rangers have been in

155
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the same year. Who's caused that to happen? Like,

156
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: who didn't hold up there under the bargain? Well, it's

157
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: just this very year to year the Rangers have been

158
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you know. But those years the maybe

159
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: the Stars or the Mavericks didn't make it or the Cowboys.

160
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: The Cowboys didn't in two thousand and t so they

161
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: own that. And then you go back ninety six, ninety eight,

162
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: and ninety nine, the Rangers are in the playoffs, but

163
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: the Mavericks were down before they got Dirk. So anyway,

164
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of trivia there. I like that absolutely,

165
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: So maybe this will be the year there you go,

166
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: all right, And just so you guys know, I've got

167
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: to say I'm here. I'm here in New Orleans doing

168
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: this thing right, getting this assessment. And uh. I have

169
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: been on the phone with Uncle Lonzo and Aunt hunt Nikki.

170
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: These are that's and uncle of Marquis Bell. Oh really,

171
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: I have problem with film that I would take care

172
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:51,479
Speaker 1: of their little nephews. I've talked to everybody but Marquise. Okay, Oh,

173
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: I've talked to the entire family, and boy, they are

174
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: so proud of him. I have found out so much

175
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: about this young man, even more than Usepagnolah. So oh no, well,

176
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to brief you. You know when you

177
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: talk about high characters, and you know everybody's gonna say

178
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: that about their own kid, but I truly believe it

179
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: with this young man. They call him a high character

180
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: kid as fact, and you know how much we like

181
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: that bill high character individual. They talked about his athleticism.

182
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: He played every sport guy, he played every sports up

183
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: for hockey, all right, And so this guy is extremely athletic.

184
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: And I asked his uncle as to listen, can he

185
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: go as a safety? Does he have the range to

186
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: go to the ball and gather himself to go up

187
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: and get it as he arrived at that point, and

188
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: he said absolutely absolutely. So as far as I'm concerned,

189
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: if he can do that, we got all the linebackers.

190
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: We need spags, we need safeties that can make play.

191
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: I think if I remember correctly for track, I think

192
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: he was like a hydra him for two Yeah, yeah, yeah,

193
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: that's what he was. He was a high jumper and

194
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: a long jumper, and that just lets you know that

195
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: he has the hops and he has the footwork to

196
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: make those plays on deep balls. And you know me,

197
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to. So when I finally

198
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: started working with this kid, or at least just talking

199
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: to him and putting putting a bug in his ear,

200
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: just tell them to stay the same. Right now, guys,

201
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: he's the press, the candidate for a surprise to make

202
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: this team and to make an impact. I've already pointed

203
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: that out. So you're you're late down that one, Well,

204
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: what you need to do is come out here for

205
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: the mini camp practices, so you can go in and

206
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: introduce yourself. I am definitely gonna do that because he

207
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: won't answer my phone calls. Well, here's what we need

208
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: to do, Mickey, you this is your assignment sometimes show. Now.

209
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: We're in the month of June. Okay, training camp starts

210
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: next month, so time is running short here. But you've

211
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: got OTAs this week, OTAs next week, miniicamp the following week,

212
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: whenever we schedule the mix shots for maybe the following

213
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: week maybe I don't know if we're working into the

214
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: schedule minicamp week or what. But when he's still on

215
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: campus here, we need to have him in studio and

216
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: tape mix shots with Everson here and having Marcus Bells

217
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: show before we get the training before training. Kit's right,

218
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: that's right, all right, I'm game for that, guys. I'm

219
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: definitely ready. Sat. That's good stuff, good stuff, all right. Well,

220
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: m So the Cowboys, Well, we'll see him practice again tomorrow.

221
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: And from what I hear or what it looks like,

222
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: is that at least James Washington might be out of

223
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: his boot and be able to do some of the

224
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: grass work. I mean, he's still rehabbing, probably but looks

225
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: like he's progressing, looks like Jalen Tolbert is progressing. So

226
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position maybe by mini camp will look

227
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more normal than what we saw last

228
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: week when it was Ceedee Lamb and Semi Fijoko and

229
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: Noah Brown out there with the first team. That'll probably

230
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: make everybody feel a little bit better about that wide

231
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: receiver position, you know. And I think back to last

232
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: week seeing Zeke out there. I don't know how much

233
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: we talked about it, and if we have, just remind me,

234
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: but boy, he's really scoutined out there. He looks like

235
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: he's got his legs back under him, the way he

236
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: looked in the first couple of games of the season

237
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: when they did a little bit of running and some blocking.

238
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: By the way, with the exception of the first game,

239
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: because they basically gave up trying to run against Tampa

240
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Bay and ended up throwing for gosh, four hundreds, all

241
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: I remember is Dak had more yards passing than Tom

242
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Brady did in that game. But if Zeke's got himself

243
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: back after the PCL sprain, he could be in for

244
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: something big this year, especially if if that they found

245
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: a second tight end that can go out there and

246
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: block when they go two tight ends. I looked it up.

247
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it was after our show last week, and

248
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: if this was accurate, twenty five percent of their snaps

249
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: were in two tight end, but they didn't really block

250
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: that well when they were in two tights. So which

251
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: guard do you think will be that? That's right, and

252
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: that's what they ended up doing, right. They put Connor

253
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: Connor mcgovernn out there basically as a guard or used

254
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: the fullback instead. Now they've got a legitimate fullback on

255
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: them and a legitimate guard who will also first round

256
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: guard who will also work at tackle. Pick for the

257
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: team guard. Yes, thank you. He will work at tackle also,

258
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: by the way, because do you suspect he will work

259
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: at tackle this week? I think I think there's a

260
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: possibility he will do both. Okay, he will be out

261
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of starting guard for the season. Okay, I'm calling it

262
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: right now, but he's got to earn it, which which

263
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: frees up McGovern to be the starting second tight end.

264
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: Second tight end unless Jake Ferguson is the real deal.

265
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking if you drafted a tight end from Wisconsin,

266
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: as much as they run the ball, they got better

267
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: be able to block right, otherwise, otherwise he might not

268
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: even been a fourth round pick. So this too tight

269
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: end off and McCarthy loves tight ends. I mean as

270
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: early as the third round, you know, he's pounding the

271
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: table to get a tight end. And a bunch started

272
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: going off the board at that point. So who are

273
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: you considering the true fullback? Ryan Nall or Nick Rolston?

274
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: What about Nick? And Cowboys had a true fullback on

275
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: the didn't have him active enough. Yeah, at least the

276
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: other guys got Nalls, got experience, right, we forgot that

277
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: we actually had a fullback. That's right, Nick Ralston. You

278
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: know you know how players advanced from their first year

279
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: to their second, Well, then it's time. That's a big

280
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: training camp battle, right, And that was a big training

281
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: camp story, by the way, last summer for Bill. That's right.

282
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: Training He found his mom and dad at training that's right. Yeah,

283
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: great human. You know how you know an investigative reporter,

284
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: Bill is they were probably the only two people that

285
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: had Ralston on seats in the crowd. That's right. Always

286
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: for the underdog man, I try, especially if that underdog

287
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: went to high school around here. Yeah, that's why I've

288
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: always been an Everson Walls fan, going back to try.

289
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,280

340
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: we'll get to see Garabay do some kicking, because the

00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent from Texas Tech, right, because most of

342
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: the kicking that we've seen so far in the rookie

343
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: mini camp and last week's OTA took place indoors, and

344
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: so we really haven't seen him. But I'm told he's

345
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: got a live leg, which is good. Right. Oh no, wait, wait, wait,

346
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: hopefully he's got two, because you did a plant leg

347
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: as well as the kicking leg. Former former kicking coach

348
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Steve Hoffman. Uh instructed me to just listen to the ball,

349
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: how it pops off a guy's foot, and if it

350
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: makes that good sound, then the guy's got a live leg,

351
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: like he can kick the ball. Now, it's got to

352
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: be kind of like it. I kind of like to

353
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: look at it with my eyes and see if it

354
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: goes between the cold post. Now, you got to hear

355
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: it right, It's got to have that. Yeah, you gotta

356
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: have that matter. It doesn't matter if it's twenty five

357
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: yards or forty five yards. It needs to sound to

358
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: say it sounds like a baseball scout. You can You

359
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: don't even have to watch a guy in batting practice.

360
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is just listen and you can

361
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: tell whether he can hit or not. You or the

362
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: or the best uh college softball player from Oklahoma right

363
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: now uh Al from Hawaii from Hawaii, Joscelyn Alo home

364
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: run hitter, yes, and reading stories about him, reading stories

365
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: about her. She's got some pop in her band, Yes,

366
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: she does. The reason I brought up Kicker the Lions

367
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: have released Aldric Rosas, So there you go. There's another

368
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: kicker that you can bring in. I think he came

369
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: through here once for a not I mean, I think

370
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: like a tryout or something like that. Tho, well that's

371
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: what and that's what's going to happen here now getting

372
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: closer to the camp, the teams start shedding a veteran

373
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: guy for a younger guy that might be looking good

374
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: in these preseason workouts. So, and by the way, today

375
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: is June first, first, So tomorrow June second, Leale collins

376
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: uh salary cap hit and bass salary will hit the

377
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys cap. So what does that mean? So that means

378
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: that his bass salary, which was off the top of

379
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: my head, like ten ten million dollars, now they can

380
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: use that money because they released him as a June

381
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: one post June one release and then the dead money

382
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: and I'm doing this off top of my head was

383
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: like thirteen million. So five million this year and eight

384
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: million next year. How much money is that free up?

385
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: So we can go sign somebody a couple million dollars?

386
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: All right, who do you want to go sign? Yeah,

387
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: let's get it out there. Briona is rushing it the

388
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: law because he wants a solution. That's right, Well, he

389
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: certainly don't need if you save five five million dollars

390
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: or so you don't need that on a kicker, by

391
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: the way, because you've signed your draft class YEP, so

392
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: you don't need Now did they finish did they get

393
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: the who was not signed? I thought one guy virtually

394
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Ferguson maybe was there's your I don't know it did

395
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: or not, there's your tight end. Yeah, he'll be signed.

396
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: And as you're seeing around the league, guys are starting

397
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: veteran guys without jobs, they're starting to find conscient and

398
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: there could be some guy's release now, yes too. After

399
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: June first, first right news around the league, Stefan too It,

400
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, surprisingly announced his retirement

401
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: moments ago. Oh so okay, and other news around the league.

402
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has reported to Cardinals OTAs yes, stay my

403
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: beating heart. I was worried about that. Now, what about

404
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald? Has He reported He has not has not

405
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: crossed the wire, as we said. So, so, Everson, I

406
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: want you to interpret this forming all right? Uh? He said, Uh.

407
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: The reason he hadn't been in OTA's um and he

408
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: talked all about, you know, needing me beyond a team

409
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: that wins or whatever. Well, the last three years, he's

410
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: been paid sixty seven million dollars in cash, okay, and

411
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any more guaranteed money left in his contract,

412
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: and he's got two more years on the contract he signed.

413
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: His quote is it ain't about the money, but it's

414
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: business at the end of the day. Now what does

415
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: that mean? You know what that sounds like? Sound like

416
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: with Latrell's pretty will. He's been making about like twenty

417
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: five million dollars ago. Hey, man, I gotta be my family.

418
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: I need a raid. Yeah, I gotta feed my family.

419
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: I laugh when I read that it ain't about the money,

420
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: but it's a business at the end of the day. So,

421
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: which means it is about the money and he wants

422
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: some guaranteed money going forward. Hey, I really can't talk

423
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: much about I had some pretty hair brained schemes when

424
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my money from Gil. I recalled.

425
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: I was nineteen eighty six, I retired, I was twenty

426
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: six years old. I put in my retirement papers just

427
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: because we were going through contract negotiations and I did

428
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: not want to pay that thousand dollar fine per day

429
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: when you're missed training camp back then, and so I

430
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, I told Drafting Stemps, you know, Gil's gonna

431
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: be a smart ass. I can be a smart ass too,

432
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: So you know, at that time, we didn't have free

433
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: agency as a backup. There was no free agency, so

434
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 1: the only thing I could do was just irritate the

435
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: hell out of them and just retire until they actually

436
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: came back to the table and starting negotiating. The other

437
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: thing I saw where and I don't know this might

438
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: be surprising or not. Dalton Scholtz with the ten point

439
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: ninety three million dollars franchise tag that he will play for.

440
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: He's got another month and a half to continue negotiating

441
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: a long term deal if he wants. But his cap

442
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: hit for this year ten point nine three million ties

443
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: Mike Gasecki for the fourth highest paid tight end in

444
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: the league, So he's not doing bad for himself, right,

445
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: And when it comes to base salaries, then Schultz and

446
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Gisecki are tied for first for the highest base salaries

447
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: of the tight ends in the league going into this

448
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: year because the other guys signed long term deals and

449
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: their cap hit is higher because of signing bonus pro

450
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: rated over the life of the contract. So and you

451
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: know this is this is his chance to cash in.

452
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: There was a stat I read his one hundred and

453
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: forty one catches over the last two years is worth

454
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: most of all the tight ends and all the big

455
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: names that you want to come up with. He was

456
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: actually fourth, and he was six this past year, and

457
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: six by the way over those two years in touchdowns

458
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: with twelve, so he's kind of made a name for himself.

459
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: He really has. I gotta say, guys, I'm pretty impressed

460
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: with him. You know, at first we had jaw and

461
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: making all these catches, and you know, he was a

462
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: guy that we thought was the finesse tight end, but

463
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: then Chult comes along and as far as blocking is concerned,

464
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: not happy with the finesse part of it, but he

465
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: has bailed us out many times. And he was integral

466
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: to the offense when you thought thinking about the two

467
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: men that they were running against this fag the whole time, right,

468
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: That means our wide receivers having big time problems, and

469
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: he was our outlet because Zeke acted like he's never

470
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: seen a ball in the air before last year. But

471
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: Schultz was ready and able to catch anything coming his way,

472
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: and he feasted off of those opportunities that he had

473
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. I'm impressed with him. He deserves

474
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: all the money that he gets. And when you start

475
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: talking about some of the big tight ends in the NFL,

476
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: and he's considered to be one of them, that's pretty

477
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: good man. He's ain't good coming. And by the way

478
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: that I said, he was sixth over the last two

479
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: years with twelve touchdowns. There's three guys tied for third

480
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: at thirteen. So he wasn't that far off to pace

481
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: the leading touchdown tight ends over the last two years.

482
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey had twenty and uh Anderson, Mark Mark Andrews, Andrew

483
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: Andrew from the Raves, Yeah, had from Oklahoma sixteen. There

484
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: you go, So he wasn't He wasn't that far off

485
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: the pace with all the other guys. All right, So

486
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: how big of a priority is it for the Cowboys

487
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: to sign him to a long term deal right now? Well,

488
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: if they're sold on him and they think he deserves

489
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: the long term, are you sold on him three years?

490
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Maybe can we do three years? Because you know what,

491
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: and here's would probably messed up the whole thing. Uh.

492
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: The joco is that how I say Cleveland they signed

493
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: him to a four year, fifty six point seven five

494
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: million dollar deal this week. Uh so, uh my math

495
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: on that is like averaging fourteen fourteen million. Twelve fourteen million, yeah, fourteen,

496
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: thank you Bill. Uh And and but have you looked

497
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: at the details? Yes? I did, okay. And it's essentially

498
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: a three year, thirty nine point five million dollars deal,

499
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: so thirteen thirteen a year, and they can get out

500
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: of it a matter of fact in the first two years. Uh.

501
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: The fully guaranteed at signing is twenty five million. So

502
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: there's your market for Schultz right now, four years fifty

503
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: seven million, and that's not going to happen here, I'll guarantee. Ukay, Hey,

504
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: let me jays Maad, you're starting to maybe, mad man,

505
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: what's happen you know you're always chop it down people's

506
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: ability to make money. No, I'm looking at what happened

507
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: to you. I am looking at the salary cap a

508
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: company man for a way too long. I am looking

509
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: at the cowboys salary cap much money? Now a kick

510
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: it is. We can't sign a guard in the first round. No,

511
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: you can't. He's not gonna get that much. Come on, man,

512
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: have some optimism in yourself. Okay, you you you obviously

513
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: need to take a lesson in salary cap management. Yeah,

514
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look as much money as Jerry spends, that's

515
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: not about his money, it's about the Cowboys money. And

516
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: that's what you got to keep an eye on when

517
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: you're paying a quarterback who's going to average forty million

518
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: a year against the cap. So are you if you

519
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: don't sign him to a contract extenchion he plays on

520
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: the tag this year, Now you go into next year's offseason,

521
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: do you let him walk or do you tag him? Agin?

522
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: And what would be more of ten? Yeah or basically eleven? Right? Yeah,

523
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: so that basically, well it's twenty be around that fourteen

524
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: million dollars ring exact for another year, right, And so

525
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: it depends on how you structure the contract. Right. You

526
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: can make it look good for the agent to say

527
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: four years fifty six million, but it really isn't four

528
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: years fifty six million when you look at the ut

529
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: when you look at the inside of the contract. But

530
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: that gets back to the priority during this draft was

531
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: on that offensive staff, right, was to get a tight end,

532
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: and they wound up not being able to get one

533
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: of the top three rounds. And so now we'll see

534
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: if Jake Ferguson becomes that tight end that you can

535
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: depend on, isn't that where they got Schultz fourth round?

536
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, and um found Witten in the third

537
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: third round. Um, James Hannah was what a sixth rounder,

538
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, and he put in a good number of years.

539
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: Here was the first rounder? Yeah, um Um, San Diego State, Yeah, Escobar,

540
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: Gavin Escobar was a second rounder. So you can miss

541
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: on those guys. The best deal was Plan B free agent. Yeah,

542
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: j no guy named Jay rob Awalt at the same

543
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: time in Plan B free agency they took and then

544
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: he got hurt, right, and they were they thought they

545
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: had their two tight ends and they really only had one,

546
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: which gave Alfredo Roberts an opportunity to be that second

547
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: tight end if I remember correctly. Yeah. So so anyway,

548
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's you only have a certain number of

549
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: draft picks, and um, you know, as much as it

550
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: might have been a priority to get one of those,

551
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: because this was a good year for tight ends in

552
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, I would have loved to have seen

553
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy rutgerd Ohio State, who went late third round to

554
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: the Jets. Um. You know, once you got passed your

555
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: first three picks, and you know, there was talk that

556
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys might package a couple of those fits and

557
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: move up and back into the third round. And that's

558
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: but this is the reason why, because you of the

559
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: contract status of Dalton Dalton Schultz and right he's about

560
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: to become it is he? Is he a tight end

561
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: who you can who can command the same kind of

562
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: contract as the top tight ends in the league? You know?

563
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: Is he a difference maker like that? And even after

564
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: some of those top tight ends went off the board.

565
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: You mentioned Rutgert, Uh, he was the thirty seventh pick

566
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: in the third round. Uh, they kind of like that

567
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: cade and it was the first pick of the of

568
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: the fourth round, that type of a and so and

569
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: which caused will McClay too pound his fifth on the

570
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: table like they can frustration And that's like darn it. Right,

571
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: So there's a couple that you could have. You would

572
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: have had to have traded up into the third round,

573
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: and the price to pay for that would have been

574
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: probably your fourth and two fifths to get that high. Yeah,

575
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: that was a long way to go. And even if

576
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: you moved up a little bit, it would have cost

577
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: you Daman Clark probably, Yeah, depending on half round the

578
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: fifth which fifth round you could you know somebody would

579
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: take right and let's just assumes let's assume it would

580
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: be your first two fifth round picks. Well, you took

581
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: Matt Will let's go with the first of those, and

582
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: you took Duran Bland, the cornerback from Fresno State with

583
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: the second of those. Yeah. So so would you be

584
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 1: willing to give up Jake Ferguson a tied end, Matt

585
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: Will Letska a tackle, and Duran Bland a cornerback to

586
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: get Kado or Jeremy ruckerd That's a lot. So that's

587
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: what you're looking at them. Yeah, absolutely so. So anyway,

588
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: the development of those tight ends, it's going to be

589
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: a key thing going forward. All Right, when we come

590
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: back here, here's what I would like to get into

591
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's look at the NFC East a

592
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: little bit. I was talking with a friend in Philadelphia today,

593
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: a friend, and he is convinced that the Philadelphia Eagles.

594
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: This is the year for the Eagles and that they

595
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: are going to rule the NFC East. Let's explore that

596
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: when we come back here on mix shots. Before there

597
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: was a Draft. You could size up a cowboy by

598
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: three simple factors, the crease in his hat, the bend

599
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: of his brim, and his unbending attitude a man, Stetson

600
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't just protect him from what life throw at him.

601
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: It projected a rugged, unstoppable spirit. Stetson hats are still American,

602
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: made with pride. Right here in Texas. There's still the

603
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: unofficial crowd of all self respect think Cowboys, and Stetson

604
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: is proud to be on the field with America's team.

Speaker 1: seeing all the reports after the practice is over of

00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: what happened out on the practice field. Because rules are rules,

Speaker 1: no texting, wild texting or tweeting when things are going on.

641
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: So here it is. We're in the month of June. Now,

642
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: training camp is going to start next month. Okay, the

643
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: season will be here before you know it. My question

644
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: to both of you, gentlemen, who's the team to beat

645
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. I'll defer to the representative in

646
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans right now, who played for the New York

647
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: Giants as well as the Dallas Cowboys. I would have

648
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: to say, guys, when you look at last year, with

649
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: all the talent that we had that allowed us to

650
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: take over the nfcast, and I don't care how many

651
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: draft choices you have. I don't care how promising your

652
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: quarterback might look in Philadelphia. I don't care what they

653
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: do with Jones in New York. Now. The only the

654
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: only I know this the Cowboys, even with their losses

655
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: at wise receivers. With Mardy Cooper being gone, and even

656
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: with our offensive line being the way it was, we

657
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: were still able to dominate the NFC East last year.

658
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned. They may

659
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: have closed the gap as far as the other teams

660
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, but to me, the Dallas Cowboys

661
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: still have the veteran talents enough to go on and

662
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: continue to win the FC. It's still gonna be, to me,

663
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: one of the weaker divisions in the league. I still

664
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: believe that, unfortunately, but the Cowboys are still the class

665
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: of this division. So I know they lost some talent

666
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: from last year. I get it. But here are the

667
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: scorers in NFC East last year for the Cowboys. They

668
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia forty one twenty one. They beat the Giants

669
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: forty four twenty. They beat Washington twenty seven twenty the

670
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: closest of all, twenty one six over the Giants, the

671
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: second time, fifty six fourteen over Washington and fifty one

672
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: twenty six over Philadelphia. So did Philadelphia closed the gap

673
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: that much? They have not? I don't think so, then

674
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: they will not. Here's those scores carry over? You get?

675
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Can get? Is it like wrestling, you get riding time

676
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: for dominating. Oh there you go, Yeah, that would be nice.

677
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: It's like soccer the aggregate. Yes. So here's the other thing.

678
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: I saw this stat come up, so I figured it out.

679
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: Quarterback ratings over the last at least the last thirty

680
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: five games, and you have to throw at least eight

681
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: hundred passes. Aaron Rodgers leads no shock there one oh

682
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: nine point two. Kirk Cousins is next at one oh five,

683
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Wilson one oh five, Mahomes one oh three, seven, Tannehill

684
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: one oh two, and Dak Prescott is sixth at one

685
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: oh one point six. Any of those quarterbacks ahead of

686
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: them in the NFC East, by the way, Nope, it's

687
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. You have him on the list. Do you

688
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: have to throw enough pass didn't win over at least

689
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: thirty five games? Okay, so he hasn't played definitely. Yeah. Yeah.

690
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: And so to me, if you're looking at this, who's

691
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: got the best quarterback in the NFC East, I think

692
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: it's hands down it's the Cowboys. Do you do really

693
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: trust Jalen Hurts yet? I don't know, do they? Right?

694
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: They seemed to think they do, all right? They keep

695
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: telling everyone that they do. And as much as I

696
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: do like Jalen Hurts, I think I like him a

697
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: little bit more than you guys. I still don't think

698
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: it's enough to be able to beat the Cowboy. Yes,

699
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he has improved as a quarterback, but I

700
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: don't think he's improved that much to where they're ready

701
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: to take over the division. I don't see that. Here's

702
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts stats from last year. Okay, he was

703
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: eight and seven as a starting quarterback, fifteen starts. He

704
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: completed sixty one percent of his passes for thirty one

705
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: hundred forty four yards, nine interceptions and sixteen touchdowns. You

706
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: got Dak stats there from last year. I've got him here.

707
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: If you don't know, I knew right here. So Dak

708
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: Prescott was four hundred and ten or five ninety six,

709
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: So sixty eight point eight percent, four thousand, four hundred

710
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: and forty nine yards, thirty seven touchdowns and ten interceptions

711
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: with a one oh four point two quarterback radio And

712
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: so that was thirty seven touchdowns, ten picks, and Hurts

713
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: was sixteen touchdowns, nine picks. That here's what Everson is

714
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: getting at what he probably likes about Hurts's game too, though,

715
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: is Hurts ran four seven hundred eighty four yards and

716
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. You like that part of it, don't you, Everson? Yeah,

717
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: And that's it's the whole body of work field. I'm

718
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: glad you brought. And he probably led them in rushing though, yes,

719
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: by thirty yards over Miles Sanders. And then you know

720
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: that that that just goes to the you know, it's

721
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: just a testament the kind of heart that he has.

722
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: It's going to be a testament to the percentages catching

723
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: up with him now. I'm yeah, the percentage of your

724
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: heart can get your hurts. You know, if you run

725
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: too much, if you run too much, then you're going

726
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: to have those those instances to where you could possibly

727
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: be out for the game, out of your career. We

728
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: saw it out Dak Prescott back and I guess that

729
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty. So when you start talking about running

730
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: too much in the NFL, you don't want a quarterback.

731
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, to me, is an exception. Jalen Hurtz is

732
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: trying to be back, but his passing, his passing production

733
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: is not It can't compare to Lamar Jacksons. If I'm

734
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: not mistaken in any means, by any means, but he's

735
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: good for what Philadelphia is doing. That's why they like

736
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: him so much. They don't want him to carry the team.

737
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: They want him to be a compliment to their defense,

738
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: and at this point, that's what got them into the playoffs.

739
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: He was just a compliment to their defense. He's not

740
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: gonna be that quarterback that we like a Dak Prescott.

741
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be an Aaron Rodgers. He's not gonna

742
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: be any of those guys Russell Wilson. He's not trying

743
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: to be, but they want to. They want him to

744
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: be the kind of quarterback that Philadelphia needs to compliment

745
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: their defense. And that's not gonna get you passing yards,

746
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: but it did get them once again into the wild card. Okay,

747
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: let's how about this part of it. Compare the Cowboys

748
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: weapons on offense with the Eagles weapons on offense. With

749
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles acquiring A J. Brown on Draft Day, with

750
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: their trade with the Tennessee Titans, they've got Davante Smith,

751
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: who of course, was a first round pick last year.

752
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: They also picked up Zach Pascal who was with the Colts,

753
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: picked him up in free agency. The former first round

754
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: picked Jalen Rager, who has not performed well in his time.

755
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: Greg Ward's still around there, tied end. They've got Dallas Goddard,

756
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: they drafted in the sixth round around Grant Calcata out

757
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: of SMU And of course they're running backs. You got

758
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders along with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. Or

759
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: you like those weapons around Hurts or do you like

760
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: what the cowboys have? Well, I don't care what you

761
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: have around the quarterback. The quarterbacks still got a perform.

762
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: Otherwise those guys don't get to excel, right, and our

763
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: quarterback and performed. The cowboy at quarterback, he performed. This

764
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: guy knows how to get it to his receivers when

765
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: they're open, and sometimes even when they're not open. But

766
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: when you start looking at guys like Brown, I mean

767
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: when you dropped, when you trade for a guy like Brown,

768
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: you know he's that that Deebo Samuels type of guy.

769
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna make He's gonna have a good

770
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: bonds out to the catch, yarns out to the catch,

771
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be short throws to him and let

772
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: him make his way down the field as best he can.

773
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: When you're talking about that kind of physicality, you know

774
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of making up for the Heisman picked

775
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: that they had what's the young man's name, the other

776
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Smith, Dete Smith. I mean, come on, man,

777
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: this guy, this little bit of guy, you know, he's

778
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: not gonna be He's not gonna have many yacks. When

779
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: you're throwing short passes. You gotta catch him down the field.

780
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 1: Brown can keep the change moving for the Philadelphia Eagles,

781
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: and that is what they're looking at. She is, to me,

782
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: like dwing the ball to him would be like Jalen

783
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: Hurt's pitching to a great money back. You understand, That's

784
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: what it's like. They're gonna throw short to him and

785
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna see how many yours, how he can move

786
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: the chain. So that that was a strategic signing for

787
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: them because to me, I think he gives them a

788
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: little bit more physicality from the wide recited position for

789
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: a team that wants to be physical. So I got

790
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: reminded of this yesterday. The Cowboys banking on Cede Lamb

791
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: being the number one receiver and and you probably can

792
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: find this. It was on NFL dot Com, Bucky Brooks

793
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: wrote about Cede Lamb breaking out to be I believe

794
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: the quote was one of the top five receivers in

795
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: the league because he's gonna get the opportunity. They had

796
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: a nine minute highlight film of CDs catches from last year,

797
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: and when you put those all together and you sit

798
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: in there questioning if he could be a number one receiver,

799
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my, if he gets more opportunities.

800
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some spectacular plays in nine minute video,

801
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: and it just kind of reminded me how explosive he

802
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: was last year. If you look at the catches he made,

803
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: the runs after catches he made, and some of them,

804
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: how wide open he was in the game behind the defense.

805
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what gave the Cowboys the confidence to say, Okay,

806
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: for salary cap purposes, we can move on from Amari

807
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: Cooper because we've got a potential number one receiver playing

808
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: for us that we're going to invest money in. The

809
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: difference between that, to me, Spags is Okay, you got

810
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: a highlight reel, that's great, but you know you got

811
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: low light reels you can well, he's got to cut

812
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: out the drops. I get it. I know where you're going. Yeah,

813
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: and and trust me, I love some CDs and I'm

814
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: hoping that he turns out to be that guy. But

815
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: that low light reel is going to be where he

816
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: disappears where we couldn't find him, where he was nowhere,

817
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: where he couldn't get off the jam, you know, to

818
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: where we needed him to be opened quickly because that

819
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: rush was coming, that four man rush was coming because

820
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: once again we needed what spag and offensive guard. Okay,

821
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: so that's what that's what we had to deal with

822
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: last year. The highlight wheel is great, it's when we

823
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: needed him and he wasn't there. Those are the times

824
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: that where you say, okay, that could have been greatness,

825
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: But where was it? You know? And that that's what

826
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at. When when when we start to falter

827
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch, you know, when the when the pressure

828
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: started to get to us up front. Yeah, we needed

829
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: him to get off of that dB who was on

830
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmag scrimmags jamming him because that was

831
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: the m O. And for teams to beat us in

832
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: our passing game, we're gonna jam the outside receivers. And

833
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: even though if you're playing Nicola Dome there's jamming the

834
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: flop receiver as well, which is where sometimes we would

835
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: line up CD lambs. I feel like him being in

836
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: the slot prominently, but he's got to be stronger. I'm

837
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: hoping he's in that weight on this our season. He's

838
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: got to be stronger, and he's got to learn some

839
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: moves off the line. If y'all were called they had

840
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: when they had the show last year, hard Knock. Mary

841
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: Cooper was trying to show him different ways to come

842
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmat I hope he was listening

843
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: because he gave him some good tips. You try to

844
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: attack somebody head on, it don't work with these dbs.

845
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: You have to attack him from angles, especially when they're jamming.

846
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: Are like that, And I'm hoping CD was listening because

847
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: if you do it like that, you give yourself a

848
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: chance to get off the jam as opposed to getting down. Well,

849
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: he says he put on ten pounds of muscle, for

850
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: whatever that means. Although when I checked his weight, when

851
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: I checked his weight from what's on the thing now

852
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: till last year, is about to say, so maybe he

853
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: got rid of some fat which he didn't have. Lost

854
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: ten pounds, Yeah, muscle yeah, maybe he got Actually you

855
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: know what though, when I when I looked at him,

856
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: he and maybe it's because we haven't been able to

857
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: do interviews standing next to anybody, right, We've always been

858
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: five six eight feet away. When I was standing next

859
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: to him in the locker room, Uh, this past week,

860
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: it was like, he looks bigger and he's pretty cute. Right,

861
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: he goes, well, I did grow a half an inch.

862
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: So he grew a half an inch in Everson, you

863
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: said shrunk, Yeah, no, no, he tiptoed half is that's

864
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: what he did, got up in his tiptoes when they

865
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: measured him. I know that's trick. You got stretched that,

866
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: nick Man. Okay, So then Mickey, as you go out

867
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: to watch practice on Thursday, what are you watching for? Well,

868
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, watch how they're using Tyler Smith. Is

869
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: he the backup still the second team guard behind Connor McGovern,

870
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: And is he going to uh play some at left tackle?

871
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: Because even though uh Tyrant Smith uh did not practice

872
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: last week, Uh, it sounds like he's going to be

873
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: out there again a return this week to practice. But

874
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: how much does he need to do in OTA's right?

875
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking maybe they take a look at Tyler

876
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: Smith some snaps at left tackle, so I'll keep an

877
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: eye on that. Um, let me ask your questions, because

878
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: this is the kind of the elephrom the room. Do

879
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna be ready Tyler Smith? Do you

880
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: think Tyler Smith can last the whole season? Tyler or

881
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: Tyrn Tylan? I'm sorry, Tyrn Tylan Smith. Yeah. Hey, I'll

882
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: take thirteen games of him over seventeen of anybody else

883
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: you want to put over there. Can we get thirteen? Yeah?

884
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 1: He always seems to have just missed three or four

885
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: somewhere in November couple games. I'll take. I'll take you

886
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: got you in at least kind of what you you

887
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: were talking about. I think we need to have a

888
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: play count for him all season long. I don't I

889
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: don't care how good he looks. I hope we have

890
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: the luxury to have a play count for him, because,

891
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: like you said, Bill comes as the season goes on,

892
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: it seems to weigh on him a lot physically, and

893
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: that's when no injuries thought to power up with him. Yeah. Yeah,

894
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: that's interesting because you see that with defensive lineman, they

895
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: rotate in defensive lineman. You don't see it as very

896
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: often at all with offensive lineman where you'll rotate in,

897
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: although there are some teams who do that with maybe

898
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: with a veteran player or with a younger player too,

899
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: where they'll rotate in for one series a backup right

900
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: tackle or something like that. Uh, it's obviously a tough

901
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: thing to do with a veteran future Hall of Famer

902
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: like Tyrn Smith unless Tyran wants to do it, and

903
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: and there's something to be set on the offensive line

904
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: for continuity. So speaking of the offensive line, I also

905
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: want to keep an eye on over these next couple

906
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: of weeks, like who's the backup center? By the way,

907
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: you know farneyak Okay, that's what they were saying at

908
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: the draft. They love Matt farneyak. No, they say he

909
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: was here every day. Okay. I took that as they love.

910
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: There's a difference between being here and beingtdy. Yeah, right,

911
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: because Everson I show up every day. That didn't mean

912
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: Mickey loves me. I just show up every day. Yeah.

913
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: You got the pessimism of bags and the optimism of

914
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: field goal. You know, do they give Connor McGovern an

915
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: opportunity back at center that he did like five or

916
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: six years ago at ten State. But that's what how

917
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: did they did? We did we try him and train

918
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: the camp at They really didn't give him an opportunity

919
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: to Connor Williams. The opportunity they gave Connor Williams. They

920
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: were hoping for a double there and they got a

921
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: little greedy. But a McGovern's gonna play center, then, who

922
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: plays tight end or fullback? Right? That's right? So hopefully

923
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: you've covered tight end and they free him up to

924
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe be the backup center. That center guard. You got

925
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: to have one, right, Yeah, that's where you have That's

926
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: where you have to have continuities at the center position.

927
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: You're talking about someone with his hands on the ball.

928
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: That's even more delicate than you're talking about your blind

929
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: side attack. So I'm going to keep an eye on that,

930
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: and also I'm going to continue to keep an eye

931
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: on the safety position with our man Marquis. And the

932
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: guy that I think everybody shouldn't forget about is Coyle.

933
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Coyle rookie for agent last year. Impressed him in

934
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: training camp and in preseason games. And he's back and

935
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: let's let's see if what he can do. Because I

936
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: was impressed with him last year, I thought he you know,

937
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: he had enough, he had enough to get on some

938
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: special teams. I think he only played like maybe a

939
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: couple of games. I can look that up real quick.

940
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: Bad guys, we gotta go the doctor. Wade though, Oh

941
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: all right, this is how I keep you guys on schedule.

942
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: And and Tyler Coile did play two games last year,

943
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: had two tackles. Okay. I hope the doctor's not too

944
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: intrusive with you there, Everson, and I hope they don't

945
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: find anything. I'm about right, Okay, we all leave that.

946
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're not zooming. All right. Then we'll chat
