Speaker 1: That's good with your boy? Whatever knew he wants, whatever

Speaker 1: knew he wants. I'm all in. Cowboys is not happy.

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Cowboy Nation wants moves. Cowboy Nation sees what the Patriots

15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: are doing and they want to see that happen here.

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: And a part of me is laughing because what do

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: we see written midway through every season? Hey, everybody who

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: ran out there the first week of free agency, these

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: deals aren't as good as they thought. You know, don't

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: do it. And you used to hear people say the

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Patriots they understand how to do it right. They don't

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: go out here the first week of free agency. They

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: let everybody else go. Well, then the Patriots run out

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: here first week of freec Yeah, see great job, Bill,

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: look at what they're doing. I'm just trying to understand

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: how should this go. Guys, what do we believe. Do

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: we believe bad money spent free agency the first week

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: or not? I don't. I think it depends on the player.

29
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I think there's good money they can be

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: spent in the first week of free agency. And we're

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna give Bill Belichick a pass because he is the

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: great Bill Belichick said, We're just going to assume that

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: he knows exactly what he's doing, especially since he didn't

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: have anything to work with last year. But there are

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: some guys who go out there and spend too much money.

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Jerry would tell you that he went out there and

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: got Brandon Car for fifty million dollars and he overpaid

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: for him. But ever since then he's been a little gunshot.

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: So I think that there were some moves that we

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: could have made. I was looking at Patrick Peterson thinking

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: we can get a veteran corner out there or making

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: some type of splash on the d line. But I

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna wait to the draft for that. So

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: Jerry's gonna stick to his guns and just and just

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: wait it out. Yeah, I think he's gonna gonna wait

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: it out. And then well, first let me address the

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, the great Bill Belichick. I don't know how

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: great he's been. All Right, my boy Tom Brady left

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: and everything off the cliff. If we look at his

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: draft record, I mean, I'm not sure. I'm not sure

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: he don't two players Brady and Gronkowski. So I'm not

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: sure about the Great Bill Belichick. But back to the question, Um, look,

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: I think I think the Cowboys, man, if we if

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: we watched their track record ever since, like Danny McCrae

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: just stated, ever since you know, we paid b car,

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: we haven't made that big splash in free agency. And

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: I feel like their philosophy is, you know, groom from

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: within and pay your guys that you draft from within.

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Has it always worked out? No? But the free agent

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: class we had last year when we went out there

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: and we did a little bargain shop and we did

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: a little here, in a little bit of there, they

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: were terrible. I mean, Jerry, every single free agent that

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: we brought to the team, half of them were cut

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: before even the season started. So for Cowboys, they should

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: to go out there and say, hey, let's plunge, just plunge,

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: let's plunge. I mean, look at our track with do

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: we want to spend fifty million on something and ended

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: up being a bus Then we're really in the hole.

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm gonna continue to ride with the

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: with the Joneses have been doing these past couple of years.

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Built from within. There are some moves out there and

73
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: free agency that I would like to see the Cowboys make,

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure they would like. I said that

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: free safety position, to me is one of the top

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: priorities that we gotta get after. And there's plenty of

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: free safety free agents out there that will not break

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the bank. I've named the couple already on this show

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: to Sean Gibson Trey Boston. There's plenty of options out

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: there that can help this defense, and they're bargains and

81
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: they're very solid players. So for the free agents that

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: we've gotten already so far on this defensive line. I'm

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, I haven't really heard a

84
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: lot about those guys, but hopefully they can come in

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: here and provide some depth or provide some pop for

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: this defense, because we know we know we needed. But

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: going back to the question, I just feel like the

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: Jones is on. They've been doing a pretty good job

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: these past couple of years as far as fielding a team.

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I know last year was kind of that, you know,

91
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: we're just gonna throw that away because that WHO free

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: agent class was terrible. But I'm gonna ride with them

93
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully they can get some more guys defense to help.

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: So so, so tell me this would you have liked

95
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to see? Listen? Because I know you guys are all

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: on the Alabama cornerback and all that. It's two guys.

97
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: It's two guys out there, all right. I think I

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: think that's a good bargain price for Patrick Peterson and

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller just became available on the market. If I'm

100
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: looking at guys who I would pick, I would have

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: taken over the unknown of certain in the first round.

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: I would have gave these two guys a shot. I

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: think that would have been something where you could make

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: a splash in free agency, and you don't go out

105
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: there and spend fifty million dollars on a guy. You

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: go out there and sign until one year deal, so

107
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of like you did Quinn and see how it

108
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: works for one year. I would love to have fully.

109
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: I would love to have him on this squad. But

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: when we were talking in our group text, I knew it.

111
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: He made a great point that I think he's gonna be.

112
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a lot of suitors out there,

113
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: and I think his price is just gonna keep rising

114
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: and rising as people compete for his services. But I

115
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: would love to have him. I think he's a very

116
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: solid corner out there. He's a pro bowler, all pro

117
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: and he seems like a great leader. He was in Chicago.

118
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: So I would love to have him, Just not sure

119
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: he can. We can we can afford that man? So

120
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: so would you have paid the Tim Meal for Patrick

121
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Peterson without a doubt, Without a doubt, I mean, you

122
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have did that movie? Oh easy? Let me hear why,

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Let me hear why? I dude? And it's one one

124
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Because Dak Prescott got signed and you start looking at

125
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: how many people are making big money under this cap.

126
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: You aren't going to be able to go out here

127
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: and spend ten million dollars, especially on an older player.

128
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: What you're trying to do, You're not going to Nieman Marcus.

129
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: You're you're trying not to be at five below like

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: you were last year's shop, because five below was definitely

131
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: five below. You're trying to figure out, how can I

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: get here to TJ Max? And Patrick Peterson is not

133
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: a TJ Max guy. Patrick Peterson, so so we could Hey, baby,

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I didn't spend many a dollar TJ Max. Baby, I

135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: like TJ Max. But so so you're trying. This is

136
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: where the cowboys are the first week or free agency.

137
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: You shopping at the nice big box store. They can't

138
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: do that, so we try. We gotta go over here

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: to the shopping mall, to the shopping center, and this

140
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: is where the cowboys are going to be. If Kyle

141
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: Fuller somehow can land in that spot, then maybe the

142
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: cowboys can do something. But Patrick Peterson was not going

143
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: to be a guy they were gonna be able to

144
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: get the TJ Max Church Church Church. Do you remember

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: maybe a few months ago my man knew he was

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: throwing numbers out there for all the Smith talking about

147
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: three years, talking about nine million dollars a year, you know,

148
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: and now you're talking about you can't get Patrick Peterson

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: for ten and you you're looking at all that Smith.

150
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: They could have found a way to make it work

151
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: with Patrick Peterson. They could have got them on nor

152
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: strooms and they would have been fine. We know, we

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: know these teams know how to make stuff work with

154
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: cap the car caps imaginary. Where did I end up

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: with Aldon Smith? We were just talking about free agencies

156
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago with guys. I just know when you started.

157
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I just know where you started. When did I finished?

158
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: I know where I mean. Listen, after you played like that,

159
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna finish finished that way. But I'm saying, okay,

160
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: we go to play better than you. Okay, So so

161
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: there you go. Now now that you're here, now that

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: it's money paying time, I'm putting my check book away.

163
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: All talked, little talking. So I hadn't changed my mind.

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: You you know, as Bill Parcels used to say when

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: he coached the Cowboys, I reserved the right to change

166
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: my mind. I have changed my mind. It is time

167
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: to go. It plus you got a new defensive scheme.

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: So at this time we didn't think Mike Nolan was

169
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. We think the Cowboys be six and

170
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: ten and everything would blow up and the hot Boys

171
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: and be cold Boys. But it happened, so Alder Smith

172
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: got to go Danny all right, Well, Patrick Peters, I

173
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: know I'm not telling that Patrick Peters. So I'm not

174
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: telling you that Patrick Peterson is not a player that

175
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: could have helped the Cowboys. I'm just telling you, by

176
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: the way the Cowboys has spent their money and with

177
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: this Dak Prescott deal, he was going to be too

178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: much for them. They're still trying to now go to

179
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: TJ Max to get them Nikes, but you're not trying

180
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: to get them nikes at that price tag that you

181
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: gotta get at the higher store. That's all I'm saying. Okay,

182
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: this is where you're at the now, Well Kyle Fuller

183
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: get there. I don't think Kyle Fuller will get into

184
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: the TJ Max category for the Cowboys, so I'd like

185
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: to see the player here. I don't know if they

186
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: can work out something creative. There's so many teams that

187
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: have cap issues that maybe maybe the Cowboys can get

188
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: lucky enough to get the player, but they definitely weren't

189
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: going to get Patrick Peterson, whose agent was smart enough

190
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: to say, hey, let's strike as soon as free agency hits.

191
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Don't wait because the longer you wait, the money drives up.

192
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Cow Fuller's getting more money than Patrick Peterson on the market.

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: I agree he should. I agree. That's why I don't like.

194
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I said, I like the player, but I don't think

195
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: they can afford the player. They're going to try to

196
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: see if the player's price comes down. This is what

197
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: the game they're playing right now as an organization, and

198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that it will. I think the problem

199
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: is we're over here shopping at TJ. Max Man when

200
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: we need to be giving a little bit of Macy's

201
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: or dealer's love. I think that's what we need to

202
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: be going towards. We're not at the north Ship level yet,

203
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: we're not at the neeble markets, but we can get

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: some some may see some dealers in there. We can

205
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: get some deals like that in there. Yeah, something something,

206
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: because we're bringing in nothing but you know, no disrespect,

207
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: but we're bringing in guys that you know, backup, guys,

208
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: back up and why and why are you doing that? Okay,

209
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: and why are you doing that? You don't have enough

210
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: money to go to Macy's. Yeah, that's true, you clearly

211
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and you don't have enough money. This was going to

212
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: be in church. You talked about it when it first

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: you hit it. Yeah, oh yeah. Moving on from Dak,

214
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: this was what the cost was going to be. The

215
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Patriots can spend all this money because they've got all

216
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: this money under the cap. The Cowboys don't have it.

217
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: When you look at who they're paying Dak Prescott, Zekiel Elliott,

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: Zach Martin, Tyrnn Smith, Lord, you've got big contracts. So

219
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: this is why you going to TJ max. Your budget

220
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: is limited. Okay, what's that? What's Dax's cap hit this year?

221
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Twenty It was it twenty two, twenty two. Come, so

222
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: you got a twenty two million dollars cap hit and

223
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about because Dack signed the deal. That's why

224
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: we can't go go go shop at Norse rooms. That

225
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: I think that's that was a great decision for them,

226
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: and they actually saved them some bread to go out

227
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: there and make some moves. We would looking at we

228
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: were looking at thirty, we were looking at thirty seven. Okay,

229
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: and you're right, Danny, But at the same time, you

230
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: still don't have all this this thought process that the

231
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the press conference I was at was trying

232
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: to tell you, hey, we got enough pie to go

233
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: out here and build a competitive defense and team around

234
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. That that did not include them jumping out

235
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: the first week of free agency. I think they're still

236
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: going to make moves, but you're not going to see

237
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: first week free agency dollars where you're sitting here singing that,

238
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: hey we got Patrick Peterson on one year, ten million

239
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: dollars deal. They're not doing that. I just feel like

240
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: that was cheap. I feel I feel like the ten

241
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: I feel like ten millis for one on the player,

242
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: like that is cheap. Oh but but clearly they didn't

243
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: so that you know, so that that's the that's that's

244
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: the reality you have to live in, is that they

245
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that was what they needed. Now and

246
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: this is something I don't know. This would be great

247
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: if we could have a conversation, what does dan Quinn

248
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: want in the quarter? Does dan Quinn want what Patrick

249
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Peterson brings? Clearly Mike Zimmer does, But that there in

250
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: lies another question there um and seeing where they get

251
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to here in week two, and I think, if I'm

252
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: a Cowboy fan, come off this whole premise and dog

253
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: on it. They're not doing anything. I want them to

254
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: do something. Here. Just understand where you gotta go shopping, baby, Okay,

255
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: we're not going to the We're not going to the

256
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: store you want to go to. We gotta break you

257
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: on down. You can get good deals to TJ Max.

258
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: And that's where the cowboys are letting you know. This

259
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: is where they've been shopping. They ain't changing, baby. They

Speaker 1: dot com. We were brought to you by hotels dot com.

275
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Danny McCray Perry Church. I'm knew, he shrugs, all right,

276
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: McCray Church played for the Cowboys safety position. I'm just

277
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: the old Cowboys reporter. Let's talk about a couple of

278
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: guys at the Cowboys did make some moves on the

279
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: free agency. They retake Jordan Lewis. Jordan Lewis the slot corner,

280
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: three year, sixteen point five million dollars eight and a

281
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: half million UM guaranteed, played in sixty one of sixty

282
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: six possible games, thirteen stars in twenty twenty. It's basically

283
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: the Anthony Brown. I'll start with you, mccraig. You're good

284
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: with this. You're good with this. Listen, I'm good with it.

285
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: It's a little confusing. Um. It makes me a little

286
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: nervous for you guys in that certain pick because I'm like,

287
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: now they got they got three guys out there. Uh.

288
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: I see Jordan Lewis as being a better slot corner

289
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: than Anthony Brown, so maybe they'll pump bump him outside

290
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: and make him compete with whoever they ended up drafting.

291
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: But you know, I've been saying this all along. I

292
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: think that the defensive coordinator really set these guys back,

293
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: because last two years ago, as we were watching Jordan Lewis,

294
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: I thought that he was prepared to be one of

295
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: the best slot corners in the league. He you see

296
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: his instincts, you can see his quickness, you can see

297
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: him making players on the ball, and then all that

298
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: just kind of left last year. So I think with

299
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: a new new coaching staff, new new scheme, new techniques,

300
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and getting back to the basics, I think he'll he'll

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: show that he's worth what they paid him this year. Yeah,

302
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: this this move right here from me, it was a headscratcher.

303
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: It was a headscratcher because, like you said, they basically

304
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: got two nickel corners. They're paying two nickel corners top

305
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: nickel not top nickel money, but good nickel money. I mean,

306
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: you got Anthony Brown and Jordan Lewis, who are both

307
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: prototypical Nickels as far as body, stature, quicks, all that stuff.

308
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: They're the same player. And we've seen Anthony Brown transition

309
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: from the nickel to the outside corner with not that

310
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: great success. So if you're dual, if you're paying both

311
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: of those guys and they play the same position, I

312
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: don't see one of those guys going out to the outside.

313
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. They don't have the body type.

314
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're not good enough to do it,

315
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: but they just don't have the physical body type to

316
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: go out there and compete with the taller corner or

317
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: the taller receivers like the AJ Greens of the World's

318
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I see them both being

319
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: the same type of player. So I for you to

320
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: have both guys getting paid that much money in the

321
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: same position, that's a head scratcher to me. Nothing against

322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis because, like McCrae said, I think he was

323
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be one of the most prototypical nickels, and

324
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: he was a ball magnet the year before last, in

325
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, he was a ball magnet. This year he

326
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: took a kind of a dip, But a lot of

327
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: that people are saying is due to the Mike Nolan

328
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: system and a lot of these guys didn't know what

329
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: they were doing out there, so hopefully he can get

330
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: back to that ball magnet type of play. But like

331
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I said, it was a head scratcher because you already

332
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: got that guy Anthony Brown, and they have the same

333
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: similar skill set. I thought we could have used those

334
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: dollars somewhere else, maybe gotten a K one short on

335
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: the defensive line or something like that, but we ended

336
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: up going with George Lewis, which I found it as

337
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: a head scratcher. And hopefully we still go after Certain,

338
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: but if we, I mean, if we don't, we still

339
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: got those three guys sitting there, and I just I

340
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: just don't see that as being a solid three corner,

341
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, cornerback group. You know, I seek we have

342
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: a great or not a great, but we have a

343
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: developing outside guy in Diggs. We have two good nickel

344
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: corners and Brown and Lewis, but we still don't have

345
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: that outside piece. And if you bring in Certain, that's

346
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: just a lot of money in that secondary room for

347
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of proven players. And you know, it

348
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: was a head scratcher to me. All Right, this is good.

349
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I like the conversation and I love the conversation where

350
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: this is going. So let me kind of play Devil's

351
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: advocate and then you guys can shoot it down. Anthony

352
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Brown is on a three year deal, so this will

353
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: be year two of the three year deal. So that

354
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: third year you may decide you want to move on

355
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: from Brown, and then you've got Lewis. Than by signing Lewis,

356
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: you kind of give yourself all right, we've got two

357
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: guys here, they're placeholders. We got three corners. If you

358
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: draft another guy, Let's say it's Sir Tanner Farley at

359
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: ten and who knows, maybe you could somehow magically find

360
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller looking real good at the TJ Maxisle. You

361
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: could possibly get him and then have the whole different

362
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: looking type of cornerback big. But right now, just here

363
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: we are, you know, just a couple of days after

364
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. Isn't it almost like an insurance policy? Says,

365
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: see an insurance policy. They say, hey, look, we can

366
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: get George Lewis on an Anthony Brown deal, which looks

367
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: better for us, and we'll kind of figure to Anthony

368
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: Brown deal out later, but we can still if we

369
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: want to add to this dB room. But just a

370
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: free agency right now. And we look at how the

371
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys have operated. George Lewis is a guy, you know,

372
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: and going back to what you said, Danny Echoes what

373
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones was saying at that press conference for Dak Prescott.

374
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: He said, we have players here that Dan Quinn can

375
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: work with. There's talent to work with. He clearly feels

376
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: that George Lewis was a guy who underperformed under Mike Nolan, who,

377
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: in their own kind way didn't say this. Dude didn't

378
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: know what he was doing. If Richard Sherman still out there, sorry, Church, Yes,

379
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna go ahead. Bro. Is Richard Sherman still out

380
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: there as a free agent, because I know he played

381
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: under Dan Quinn and you're looking for a veteran and

382
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: you're looking for something on the TJ. Maxwell, he might

383
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: be in that price range as he's looking for places

384
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: to go. So, you know, I wouldn't throw that out

385
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: there because, like I said, you know, defensive coordinators are

386
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: always looking for leaders who were in their previous in

387
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: their previous scheme that could make things happen. So be

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: on the lookout for Richard Sherman and to talk to him.

389
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Heating up coming to the Cowboys and look and Lewis,

390
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: I would agree. I would agree with your point about,

391
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: you know, having a placeholder and having guys for the future,

392
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: because you know, after guaranteed money is up with a Brown,

393
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: I see, unless he has, you know, a spectacular season,

394
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna move on from him, and then you

395
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: can insert jun George Lewis right there, and I would

396
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: agree with that. If we had the luxury of having

397
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: a great front seven, Like if we had a great

398
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: front seven already and we were just like, you know what,

399
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: let's add some depth for future reference and all that

400
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: other stuff, I would definitely agree with you. But we

401
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: just have so many other needs right now to go

402
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: ahead and pay two slot corners. I just don't I

403
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: don't understand that. I feel like we could have used

404
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: those dollars elsewhere. But you know, hey, the Cowboys and

405
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: free agency, we know it adds up in the air. Man. Okay,

406
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: let's let's keep rolling here and I'll throw this out here.

407
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: We talk about injuries and a possible seventeenth game could

408
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: be added to the schedule. That's out there. So having

409
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, having some depth in the in the defensive

410
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: backfield is not a bad deal. Now, I come back

411
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: to what you just said here Church spending money up front.

412
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Who is the guy in free agency that you said, Man,

413
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: they should have went and got this player up front

414
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: that they could also afford at the time before we

415
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: got Jordan Lewis. I just want to depending on what

416
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the Dominican wanted. Man, we still haven't herited or any

417
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: numbers on what the dominicanid have wanted in free Actually,

418
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: he's still out there. He's still out There's a K

419
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: one short still out there, and I feel like those dollars,

420
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: I feel like they could have went to those players

421
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: or potential players that could get after the quarterback. And

422
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I think we need that more than anything. We both

423
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: talked about this on the last episode in previous episodes,

424
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: or how we would build a defense from the front

425
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: to back, and from right now, from what the Cowboys

426
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: are doing, it's looking like they're putting more emphasis on

427
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: the back end, and they're putting more emphasis on guys

428
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: that haven't really done much in the in the NFL yet.

429
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: I could see if these guys were just automatic ball

430
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: hawks and just lightened it up, if they were the

431
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom, Yes, bring all those guys back, But

432
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: these guys struggled a lot last year, and we struggled

433
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot more up in the front of our defense

434
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: last year. So I feel like we should have put

435
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: allocated more dollars toward that, injecting more funds into that

436
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: defensive line than going ahead and showing our back in

437
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: before that. But it's not all. That's just my pros over.

438
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: It's not let's take a break. Let's take a break

439
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: and I something you said about sue just maybe treating this.

440
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I gotta say this. So let's take a

441
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: break right here. We gotta pay, we gotta pay the bills,

483
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys safeties, Barry Church and Danny mccraig. So we've

484
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: been talking about free agency in the Cowboys. Oh, basically

485
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: taking care of a little bit of the back end.

486
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: Now they take care of some of the front end.

487
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, So yesterday three defensive linemen were signed. You

488
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: had Carlos Watkins coming from Houston on a one year deal.

489
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: Brent Urban defensive end slash defensive tackle coming over from

490
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, and defensive Endrell Bash him two year deal,

491
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: six million dollars twenty seven three and a half sacks

492
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: last year he was with the Jets. Church, I would

493
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: love to see in Dominican Sue here. The issue for

494
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys is his first preference for what's being reported,

495
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: is to play in Tampa again. But Tampa is trying

496
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: to resign players and get guys back, and they've done that,

497
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: which makes me start to wonder is there enough money

498
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: for Sue who come to come back to Tampa. And

499
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: if I'm the Cowboys, the longer this goes, I think,

500
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: the bigger the possibility that you could make that phone

501
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: call to Sue and get in on it. But also,

502
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: Sue's a guy who likes his money, So by saving

503
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of the powder, maybe you can go

504
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: ahead and get an impact guy. He just have to

505
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: be a little bit you have to be a little

506
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: bit patient here. And while Cowboy fans don't want to

507
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: hear it, I'm still thinking a guy like Sue could

508
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: be a possibility. Church, I'm still thinking that I would

509
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: love it. I would love it if he was able

510
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: to come out here, because he just brings that nasty

511
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: just in your fan doesn't care who he's playing against.

512
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: You saw when he in the NSC Championship. He was

513
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: throwing Rodgers around and letting him hear about it after

514
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: every play. That's the type of guys you want to

515
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: go to battle with on a defensive line. But let

516
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: me go ahead and throw another name out there that

517
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: you know he might be available because he hasn't produced

518
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years. But this guy has

519
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: a heck of a talent and that's that's just y

520
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: beyond clowney. I mean, look, he hasn't produced them, so

521
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna throw a lot of them.

522
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get garner a lot of

523
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: money out there. But look, if this guy is hungry,

524
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: we've seen him make plays in the past. I know

525
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: we got Randy Gregory, I know we got d Law

526
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: out there, so that's the only thing. That's the only

527
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: problem he would be taking snaps from one of those guys.

528
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: But overall, I mean, if he can come on a

529
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: team friendly deal, don't think we should kick the tires

530
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: on that. No good I'm going I'm going against it,

531
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: mainly because, like you said, we got first of all,

532
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: letting nui tell it, we have no money at all

533
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: to do anything. I don't think. I don't think Jadavian

534
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: Clowney is a TJ max player either. But I really

535
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: really do believe that if you keep Randy Gregory, you know,

536
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: keep his mind right, keep him you know, in tune

537
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: with the game, and keep him out of trouble, I

538
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: think that he has the potential to hold down that

539
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: right side of the defensive line and I don't think

540
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: you want to mess that up by bringing somebody like

541
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: Clowney in. And I think our biggest problem number two

542
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: was the interior. I know, we went out there and

543
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: got three three guys, and like I said, mainly they

544
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: had been backup players, hadn't started the full season for

545
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: the majority of those guys. So I think you really

546
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: need to make that flash thing. So whatever money you

547
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: can get out there to put towards Sue. And then,

548
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, I hate to say this, but in the

549
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: d have you need to find a guy. You got

550
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: to find a guy because you know what we went

551
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: out here and got in free agency just isn't isn't

552
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: what's gonna save us from being the worst run team

553
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: in the league. We really need some guys with some

554
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: names and that soon leadership and that nastiness. I think

555
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: that will really work for us. So let me let

556
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: me just throw this scenario here, because it seems where

557
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: this is heading. The Cowboys sit out the first week,

558
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: so they're not shopping, they're not shopping big the first week.

559
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: But they come back the second week and they signed

560
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: some good players to some good deals which fit and

561
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: work for them because guys are teams are starting to

562
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: run out of money, and so you start to look

563
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys and the thing that they can sell

564
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: to a whole lot of free agencies. This there's no

565
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: state taxes here, and we've got our quarterback. We got

566
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: our quarterback back, and we feel like we're going in

567
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: the right direction. Back to me, is gonna be Jerry.

568
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: Can Jerry be the salesman here? So if this is

569
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: where they go with this, mccraig, can you live with it?

570
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: Can you be all right? If that? You know, you

571
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: let Jerry kind of play this thing out a little

572
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: bit better and be so much better at Sony free

573
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: agents this year because you've got Quinn coming in here

574
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: running a better skin. Thoughts. Absolutely, I'll be okay with

575
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: it one because I listen, there's a sword I'm gonna

576
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: die on. I'm climbing this hill and I'm telling you,

577
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: dan Quinn is in there. He's making these decisions, and

578
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: he's going to get the best guys available for him

579
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: that they can afford. So I believe dan Quinn is

580
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna make this happen. I believe second week, third week,

581
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: whatever week it is, he's going to pinpoint his guy

582
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: who he needs on his team to be that leader

583
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: and be his voice in that locker room and get

584
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: these guys right. So I'm okay with it. What I

585
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: have loved to see, like I said, a big splash

586
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: at corner, a big splash at defensive tackle, big splash

587
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: of safety. Of course I would love to see it.

588
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: But I said, I believe in dan Quinn. I think

589
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna make this thing happen. LUI let

590
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: me tell you something, man eight and eight in seven

591
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: and written all over it right now. I mean it's

592
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: all over the chalkboard right now. I mean, look, we

593
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: got dan Quick coming in here and mccraig. He's a

594
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: part of the crew man that they think Quinn is

595
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna come in here and just shape these players and

596
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: turn this one of the historically bad defenses into one

597
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: of the best defenses. We have a bargain shopping and

598
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: not that. So I just don't I don't really personally,

599
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't believe Dan Quinn can do that for these players.

600
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: I think this guys is a good defensive coordinator, but

601
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: I think he needs his tools. As we saw him

602
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: in Seattle, he had those players to kind of make

603
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: that defense come alive. I'm not sure he can do

604
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: that with the cupboard of tools he has right now

605
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: in Dallas. And as we continue to bargain shop, I

606
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: know it's not over yet. I know free agency is

607
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: not over yet. But if we continue this trend of

608
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: just bargain shopping and getting these dollar general no disrespect,

609
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say dollar TJ Max apologizegize, did not

610
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: mean that that was disrespectaful apple. Oh. If we keep

611
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: going down this bargain shopping road, I mean, I just

612
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: don't see us turning around. I just see an office,

613
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, putting up all these points. But then eight

614
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: and eight seven nine written all over it to me.

615
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: So last year we saw the Cowboys ink Everson Griffin

616
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: and we fought at the time it would be a

617
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: good signing. One thing that I think we can't all

618
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: agree on is that they ended up getting a player

619
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: with a good reputation at a favorable price for them.

620
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: The year before that, Robert Quinn get a favorable price

621
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: on a player and it ended up turning out correctly

622
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: for them. I am thinking that this is going to

623
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: be that same type of deal where they're going to

624
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: be able to find a player that works for them,

625
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: and several teams in across the league can find some

626
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: players of work for them, such as Patrick Peterson going

627
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: to Minnesota that works for them. So that's to me

628
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: going to be the interesting thing. Can the Cowboys do

629
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: it again? And you know, I give Danny. I believe

630
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: what Danny says here the queenn can get guys in

631
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: a better position because Mike Nolan was so tragically bad

632
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: at being a defensive coordinator and that the Jones has

633
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: stepped in and there and say hey, here's Dan Quinn

634
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: and you got you got Mike McCarthy rolling along with that. Here.

635
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Wanted to bring up another topic here about the defense,

636
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: and I saw social media alleged trade talks about Michael Gallup,

637
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: receiver of the Cowboys, to New England for Stephan Gilmore.

638
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: Gilmore is being shocked. Gilmore's got one year left at

639
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: seven million dollars. The Patriots probably are not going to

640
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: keep him around. He also, courted in the NFL network,

641
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: wants a new deal. So if you trade for Gilmore,

642
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: he's not going up for just seven million dollars. He

643
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: wants a new deep So your overall opinion fellas on

644
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: gaut for Gilmore? Would you want to do this deal?

645
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, mister mccraig. No, I listen. I

646
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: really like Gallup. I think he's a really, really important

647
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: part of our offense. He's that guy who can go

648
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: deep and make those those big catches, those the graphs

649
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: like Das Bryant used to make. You don't see Amari

650
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: Cooper making those type of grabs. Ceedee Lamb will eventually

651
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: get there. But if you look at our team over

652
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, Michael Gallup is that guy

653
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: who can go out for that one on one ball.

654
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: He's our main deep threat. So I really like him

655
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: being on our team, and I don't think that's an

656
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: even trade for us of what we're looking for him

657
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmore seven million and gonna be looking for a

658
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: bigger deal. If that's the case, we should have win

659
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: got Patrick Peterson or Kyle Fuller. So Kyle Fuller, I mean,

660
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: I think there's better options out there for us, and

661
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: they will be cheaper. So that's not a trade that

662
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm willing willing to do. I like our offense in

663
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: a way. It looks right now. Look for me, I

664
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: say no simply because, like you said, Nui, if we

665
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: bring him in here, he's gonna want a new deal.

666
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if we do that,

667
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: but if he comes in here, just saying, let's just

668
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: say hypothetically he comes in here, he's on his mercenary.

669
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: I'll take it by one year for seven meal whatever

670
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: I'll play with you guys, I would do it in

671
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. I would do it just like that if

672
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: he if he came in here and said, I'll play

673
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: that one for seven and then I'll go about my way.

674
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll do it in a heartbeat. I love Michael Gallup,

675
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: I love what he brings you. Know he gets those

676
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: fifty fifty balls. He's kind of that deep threat guy,

677
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: has great hands. But but we have so many options

678
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: on the office. I mean, we got Cooper, we got

679
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: Blake Jarmon coming back from Menji, we got Shoult who

680
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: was reliable out there, we got Ceedee Lamb. I mean

681
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: hopefully our full back friend Ezekiel Elliott gets back on track.

682
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: So like, I think, we have so many options out

683
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: there offensively that if we were able to bring a

684
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: solid corner like that in here, oh, I do it

685
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. But like you said, Neui, he's gonna

686
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: one a new deal. And that's the reason I would

687
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: say no, hold on, hold on Church, although I can't

688
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: let you go with that one. All right, listen, you

689
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: name Themari Cooper out there, and we all talk about

690
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: to disappearing that you know, in him being in the

691
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: game and not available as much as we hope that

692
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: he is. You said Blake jarr was coming off of

693
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: tour is a ACL right to a CL. He's coming

694
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: off of tourn a CL. So we don't have it.

695
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: You're calling the running back and fullback. So when you

696
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: start listening to weapons that we currently have, it would

697
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: seem like they're a little shaky, and we've seen Michael

698
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: Gallup go out there and change the entire dynamic of

699
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: the game when Amari Cooper isn't really making plays, or

700
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: when Ceedee Lamb was getting double team or not running

701
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: the correct ross. Michael Gallup has been consistent. Out of

702
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: those three guys, out of our top three receivers, who

703
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: who in your opinion, is the least valuable out of

704
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: out of those three Church I'm gonna stop you right

705
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: here and go back to about last week. Okay, go

706
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: back when we spoke about last week. And this is

707
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: not just looking at twenty two twenty one, it's looking

708
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: past this. You saw the Cowboys did not restruct your

709
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: Cooper's deal at all. They restructured Tyre Smith, they restructure

710
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Zach Martin and Lell Collins. They left Cooper's deal alone.

711
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: What do we know about Cooper's deal after this year

712
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: the guarantees are gone. That it's basically a two year,

713
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: forty million dollars deal. So you can get out of

714
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: Cooper's contract for only six million dollars against the cap.

715
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: So you take that savings, you put it towards Michael

716
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: Gallut and re up him and let Cooper go. So

717
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: that's why I'm not trading Michael gallup because I'd like

718
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to find the Cowboys to

719
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: keep him long term versus paying Amari Cooper another twenty

720
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: million dollars in twenty twenty one. Because now that you've

721
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: got Dak in here and you see where some of

722
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: these other veterans are going, You're gonna have to find

723
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: some savings somewhere in your football team. So you basically

724
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: have to look at it as you let Cooper go,

725
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: and you can probably see if you can get Gallant

726
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: for ten million dollars a year. That's my take, Church.

727
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: So that's the thing on Cooper in Church. If we

728
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: get if we get Um Gilmore, who are you taking

729
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: at ten? Oh, I go d line in. I go

730
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: d line in if if if we had Gilmore in there,

731
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: we'd have Gilmore a Brown Jay Lou and then we

732
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: got digs on other Yeah, I'm going d line, man,

733
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm going d line for the show. And I'm still

734
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: having I'm still I'm still having a hard time finding

735
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: a top ten D lineman out there. Bingo, Bingo, You're

736
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: not You're trading out at that point in time, you're trading,

737
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: you're trading out. And look, you can still trade out

738
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: now if if, if Bill Belichick is gonna spend all

739
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: this money right now, and the Cam Newton deal is

740
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: full of so many incentence it's basically three and a

741
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: half million dollars guaranteed right now. So that tells me

742
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: that he's not sold on him and Cam Newton while

743
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: back he's looking for a better option. So if the

744
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: Patriots sitting here at fifteen and Bill BELTI, if you're

745
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna go in, go all the way in? Why not

746
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: going up to ten and fifty Cowboys? I go from

747
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen, and now I got more options, a

748
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: lot more options. And then it's true if you wanted

749
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: to look at taking a defensive lineman Danny, Now maybe

750
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: some of those guys can fit in there, but most

751
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: of all, do you want to bring in an unhappy Gilmore?

752
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: If this guy's like, man, I want to be here

753
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, then what kind of attitude

754
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: or you're getting? Is that what you want to deal with?

755
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: You guys have been in the room. What is it

756
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: like to get a player who's been a former Defensive

757
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Player of the Year who's been a Super Bowl winner,

758
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: who feels like he's underpaid. That's true. I just don't

759
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: see Gilmore being that type of guy. Like I don't

760
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: see him coming in here, you know, being that complainer.

761
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you never really hear about him, you know,

762
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: being outspoken or anything like that. So I wouldn't you know,

763
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: see him doing that, you know, being all kind of

764
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm on this one year deal. I ain't playing. But

765
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: you never know. When money comes into things, you know,

766
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: people like to change, so if we never know. But

767
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys will take that deal simply

768
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: because if we do trade him that, he's gonna want

769
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: a new deal and it's gonna cause problems. So it's

770
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: a no overall, but I'd love to see it happen. Okay,

771

814
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: My problem. I looked at the last word in the

815
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: text the alert set in here it says one player

816
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: or position that Boys still need to go after. So

817
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a player or position or players

818
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: that needed to go now. So so I got it wrong.

819
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: But I got three dudes that gotta go. Okay, players

820
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: that need to go. Already brought you Olden Smith. Aldon

821
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Smith doesn't fit this scheme. Not a dan Quinn guy,

822
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: three to four player, Aldon Smith gotta go. Tyrone Crawford,

823
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: thank you very much, but no injuries too much. Can

824
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: I should have been going two years ago. Tyrone car

825
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: has been going to The Cowboys are the kings of

826
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: keeping dudes two years too long. Shan Lee. I love you,

827
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: I love it, but Shan Lee cannot come back here. Okay.

828
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: I ain't getting sixteen games out of Sean Lee. And people,

829
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh he's a leader. He sit now now you know what,

830
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: somebody else got to lead. Somebody else got to sit

831
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: up here and do something. No, no more shan Lee.

832
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: So those are three guys that the Cowboys need to

833
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and say goodbye to. I had a fourth

834
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: guy that was a pun of Chris Jones, but thankfully

835
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: they when they hit rolled him on his little low way,

836
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: and he's good. Another guy that went on his way

837
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: that I was cool with is Cheeto Woozia. And it's

838
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: not a personal thing. I like Cheeto man, I liked

839
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: I like the dude, but it just didn't work here

840
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: the way we thought it would work with him. And

841
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: maybe he finds uh the Cincinnati scheme fits for him,

842
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: and maybe he becomes a better player there. But the

843
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: Cheeto thing was just a disappointment. So those guys, you know,

844
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: two guys gone already. Three other dudes need to be joining.

845
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: But those are five guys for me that the Cowboys

846
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: need to go ahead and move on along and shake hands,

847
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: you say thank you for your service. We wish you will.

848
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: Can you go back, Can you go back and touch

849
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: on that Sean Lee reason for why he should be

850
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: gone injuries. I mean, we're looking at injuries and and

851
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: and I go back to this, the Cowboys specializing keeping

852
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: guys about two years too long. In New England, they'd

853
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: get rid of you a year too early. The Cowboys

854
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: keep you around a year too long. And this has

855
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: been from the time when when when they had guys

856
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: from the nineties where Jerry would just keep him, and

857
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: then they had guys like Mark Colombo and flows, the

858
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: all Adams guys at Doug Free guys that they kept

859
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: two years too long that they needed to move on

860
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: away from. They've got to stop holding on the guys.

861
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: And Danny. One guy here that's gonna be really interesting

862
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: is Tyrn Smith down the road here? How much longer?

863
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: I know you brought it up already, but I'm telling you,

864
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: the way the Cowboys operating, especially the way they like

865
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: to push these contracts and pushing money out, they end

866
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: up keeping dudes too long. But Sean Lee has been

867
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: injured for the last two seasons, last three actually the

868
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: pretty much the bulk of his career. But when you've

869
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: not been able to count on him the past three seasons,

870
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: and it's time to go ahead and move on. And

871
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: one of the things that they kept harping on, and

872
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: people say, hey, many Sean's a great leader, He's this,

873
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: he's that, and Sean is a good dude, and this

874
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: is a guy who I believe could be a very

875
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: good coach one day. But at this point in time

876
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: with Jalen Smith, and you already got Lake Vanderesh. Vanderesh

877
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: has got issue staying on the field. You can't have

878
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: to You can't bring back two dudes who got issue

879
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: staying on the field. You need to move on from

880
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: shan Lee. Look, look, I'm here to say, man, I

881
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: don't disagree with anything you said. I think you hit

882
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: the nail on every free agent that you know that

883
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: you said it needs to go. I mean, we've had

884
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: the examples out there, we all know that. But I

885
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: will say this, this this is where they got it right

886
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: and where I think they got it wrong. I think

887
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: they got it right when they got when they offered CJ,

888
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, his deal, and he took it. So shout

889
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: outs out to CJ. He was one of the best

890
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: special teams not only on the Cowboys, but then in

891
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: the whole entire football league. So I'm glad we were

892
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: able to resign him and bring him back and kind

893
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: of bolster our special teams unit. So I'm glad they

894
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: did it like that. But where they got it wrong? Man,

895
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: Why they have to do the goat like that? I'm

896
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: talking about l all Right, this dude sixteen years been

897
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: one of the most consistent long snappers in the game.

898
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think he's ever had a box snap,

899
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: So for me, no, I mean, I feel like he

900
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: had at least a couple more left in him. A

901
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: couple more and they went their own way. So hey,

902
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: I think they did that wrong. But he shouts out

903
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: to signing back CJ because he's one of the best

904
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: special teams and why why do they do it? Though

905
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: knew it because they didn't really save much money by

906
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: letting LP go Like that was really really confusing. I

907
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: understand that coaches come in and they want to bring

908
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: in their own guys, But when you got a guy

909
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: who's been a model of consistency and perform for you

910
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: at the highest level, I don't understand how you just

911
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: want to bring in somebody else so badly and he's

912
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: breaking the bank. Look, I'm all board with what you

913
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 1: guys are saying. One I'm not happy the LP litis sewer,

914
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: who's always done his job efficiently is gone. But I'll

915
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: go back to the press conference when Jerry Jones sat

916
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: there and said we have a great head coach, a

917
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: great coach, and I was over there in eyside of Jerry.

918
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: I was shaking my head, and then he said, we

919
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: got a fantastic special teams coach. He's all in on

920
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: bones Fossil, So Fossils once again wants to bring in

921
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: another one of his guys. Did they need Legatron? No,

922
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: but that was what who Bones Fossil wanted and they

923
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: said fine. And now he's gonna bring in his long snapper.

924
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: And the only thing I can say is this long

925
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: snapper better be good because the first time he makes

926
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: a mistake, we're gonna go out. I'm gonna be going

927
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: out the Bones Fossil. I won't go after the long snapper.

928
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go after the special teams coach that wanted.

929
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: You better be right for this whole thing, or you

930
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: want your operation, then the operation better sing next year.

931
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: Better be sweet, better be good, bet be better than that.

932
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: I know one thing. They just need to take a

933
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: little bit of power off out of Fossil's hands when

934
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: it comes to calling these fake punts and fake things.

935
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: We've seen too many of those this this year and

936
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: they were all negative. They were all just just bad

937
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: options and head scratching decisions. So I hope we don't

938
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: get into that. But like you said, man, I just

939
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: long snapper. That's that's some big shoes to fill because LP,

940
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean he was a top, he was a top

941
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: of the dogs man. Yeah, And then I want to

942
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: give a shout out to CJ. Man, congratulations on getting

943
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: your deal sign And I hate to be a debut

944
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: downer because I'm really really happy for the DoD But Cowboys, man,

945
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: you just took too long. You should have locked this

946
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: dude up ways sooner, show them how important he is

947
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: to the organization, man, and send a message out there

948
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: that we are finally taking special teams serious. You cut

949
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: one of the best special teams players in the league

950
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: by a cutting LP and then you waited just a

951
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: little bit too long and you risk CJ getting up

952
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: out of here because you never know what could happen

953
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: in free agency. So congratulations to them, But I think

954
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: they should have just moved a little bit faster. And

955
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: that's just a special team's guy in me. I don't

956
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: know in terms of moving faster, in terms of you know,

957
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: just where they're looking at their priority list, in terms

958
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: of you where they're trying to do something deal with

959
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: the Woozi erge, I don't know. But it got done,

960
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm just looking at at the end.

961
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: At the end, it got done and it was a

962
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: multi year deal and said it was a one year deal,

963
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 1: So I can't you can argue with the process. I'm

964
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: just looking at the result and say, Okay, boom, the

965
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: baby was delivered. Might have been some complications for CJ,

966
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: but hey, boom, babies delivered with good listen all right,

967
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: and they released them last year. They released them last

968
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: year and took a chance on them, took a chance

969
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: of the last year. Then you wait, when you wait,

970
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: you know, extra days to go ahead and lock the

971
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: man down this year. I just didn't like the process

972
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: that happened over the last two years. The dude has

973
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: been once again a model of consistency and one of

974
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: the best players on your team. You just go ahead

975
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: and take care of that man, especially after after the

976
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: deal that he pretty much gave y'all last year by

977
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: saying he was gonna sign back after you released him

978
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. Danny, I'm not arguing

979
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: you about that. I'm just saying, Okay, it was some

980
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: complications in the delivery, but it was delivered. Oh yeah,

981
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: it got done. It got done. It got done so right,

982
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: So you could have been smoother because they came out

983
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: of eighty day one, yes, but they didn't. I'm just

984
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: happy it got done, and most of all, I was

985
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: really happy to see when I saw it said two years.

986
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: You know, all right, boom, good for you, CJ. That

987
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: my fear was that they bringing back on a one

988
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: year deal. So to me, I think they they've gone

989
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: out here really said. He may not have liked it,

990
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: but I think he liked it the end. You got

991
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: some guaranteed money, you got a two year deal, and

992
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: there's a commitment, a true first time commitment to him.

993
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: So I gotta go ahead and just say, hey, man,

994
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. You know I'm good with it.

995
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: I know one thing, CJ. Man, if you're listening, don't

996
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: don't big time us now. I mean you use on

997
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: the show how that you got this deal, you got

998
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: you got some money in your pockets. Man, don't big

999
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: time US now we need your back on the show man. Listen.

1000
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: CJ is literally the first special teams player to get

1001
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: pace since Sam Herd because when they paid Jeff Heath,

1002
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: they really signed a safety. CJ is going to be

1003
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: expected to just play special teams so ever since Sam

1004
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: Herd back and I think two thousand and eleven, two

1005
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, CJ is the first dude to get

1006
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: paid for special teams, So shout out to you, man,

1007
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: you're changing the game out there. All right, Let's uh,

1008
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: let's chat about a couple of things we've seen in

1009
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: other places here. Why Washington signs Ryan Fitzpatrick to a

1010
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: one year, ten million dollar contract. They ink Taylor Heineke

1011
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: in the offseason, they still have Josh Allen. Those are

1012
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: their three quarterbacks. Some people question whether or not Washington

1013
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: may try to move up or try to acquire a

1014
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round. Um several people on social

1015
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: media and several people in the media saying now that

1016
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: they believe Washington is the favorite in the division because

1017
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: they signed Ryan Fitzpatrick. Church you're feeling on that, is

1018
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: Washington the favorite in the NFC East. No, I'm still

1019
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: I was saying Cowboys are the favorite, but I say

1020
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: Washington like they have the second best quarterbaback in the

1021
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: division behind that Prescot. But they for sure got the

1022
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: best defense. The way chase the quarterback, I mean, they

1023
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: got alais defense that will keep them in almost every

1024
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: single game. The only thing about Ryan is Patrick. We've

1025
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: seen this in the past, is will have a couple

1026
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: of games, two or three games where you're like, oh

1027
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: my goodness, this guy is lightening it up. He's thrown

1028
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards, five touchdowns. This guy's immaculate. But

1029
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: then he'll have a stretch of about eight or nine

1030
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: games where he's throwing three picks. He's throwing teams back

1031
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: into the game. So for me, I wouldn't say they're

1032
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: the favorite just because they signed Fitzpatrick. I do think

1033
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: it gives them an upgrade after that position from Taylor

1034
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: Heineke and Haskins and Alex Smith. But I still have

1035
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: them second behind the Cowboys, but a close second because

1036
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: that hilaious defense and I think is gonna be a

1037
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: problem for years to come. And if they're able to

1038
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: have any semblance of an offense, consistent offense, this team

1039
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be is gonna be trouble in the NFC East.

1040
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: But I still think the Cowboys got this. Pittsburgh, Now, Yeah,

1041
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: asking is about it. Listen, Church, I listen. I gotta

1042
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: go against you on thistle Man, just based off what

1043
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: we saw last year, the moves we made so far

1044
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: in free agency, I just don't think that we've gotten

1045
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: that much better, just just on paper. And I think

1046
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: the only thing that Washington was missing last year was

1047
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Ryan Fitzpatrick. They had a running game

1048
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: they had, they got the receivers, they got a tight end,

1049
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: and they got the defense. And we know on any

1050
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: given day, Ryan Fitzpatrick can be a top five quarterback

1051
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: in the league. And then opposite of that, yes, he

1052
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: can't go out there and throw some passes that shouldn't

1053
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: be shouldn't be thrown. But I think this will be

1054
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: different for him because he has that running game to

1055
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: lean on, he has some receivers, and defense wins these games. Man.

1056
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: We saw what Tampa was able to do against Kansas City,

1057
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: and Washington has that type of defense, So I gotta

1058
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: give him a little notch up on us. We will

1059
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: see how it goes after we make our moves in

1060
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: free agency, and I probably will hopefully be able to

1061
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: change that after like week one or two. But right now,

1062
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: Washington has it Ryan Fitzpatrick. And if anybody's ever had

1063
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: had him as their fantasy quarterback, you understand what it is.

1064
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: He may give you two weeks where he's top score,

1065
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna give you three weeks where you're

1066
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: just like, oh my goodness, gracious, what's he gonna do?

1067
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: And when you need it, the most throughout his career,

1068
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: he's not been able to deliver. I remember the one

1069
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: year he was he was with the New York Jets

1070
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: and he had an opportunity to get these guys into

1071
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs and he just totally messed it up. Or

1072
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: either he was with Buffalo and it was against the Jets.

1073
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: It's one or the other, because Dennis Thurmer was talking

1074
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: about it because he was he was with both of

1075
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: those clubs, but it was an issue. It was an issue,

1076
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: and it was just like, hey man, the guy just

1077
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of turns into who you thought he was, and

1078
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: he's a good backup quarterback, but he's not that guy.

1079
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny so many people like, hey, can

1080
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott be that guy that takes you over the top.

1081
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: Brian Fitzpatrick's that guy who can. He's a good player

1082
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: and he helps you, but he won't get you over

1083
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: the top. And then it's a thirty eight year old,

1084
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: we've seen enough about what to bring you. By the way,

1085
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: some breaking news, Pittsburgh is retaining wide receiver Juju Smith.

1086
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: So j Smith Schuster Juju Smith anyway, so he's going back.

1087
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: Stevens putting their money on the offense, and they need

1088
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: some defensive help, and they need some offensive line help.

1089
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: But hey, they're about the weapons and they're trying to

1090
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: have one last ride with Big Ben. So there you go.

1091
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: There you go, Steve Juju Smith Schooster. I just I

1092
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 1: don't to me, Juju, it depends on what the price

1093
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: tag and what they signed him for. I didn't see that,

1094
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 1: but Juju, I mean we've seen ever since Ab left,

1095
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: he is he was supposed to take over. Is that

1096
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: number one, that BONA five receiver, that's supposed to be

1097
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: Big Ben's number one, And he just hasn't been able

1098
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: to do that. When defensive when defenses focused their coverage

1099
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: on Juju Smith Smooster, he's been a no show. He

1100
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: has to have somebody else out there to tim to

1101
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: take the kind of take the line light away from

1102
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: him and have defenses focusing on him to where he

1103
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: can just get one on one coverage and then he'll

1104
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: be able to work. But they don't have that guy

1105
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: in the Steeler's locker room with him. I mean, they

1106
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: don't have another AB. They got some developing guys that

1107
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: you know in the future, like a Chase Claypool or

1108
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: Dante Johnson. They can develop into something special. But right now,

1109
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: seeing Juju as your number one, I mean it's gonna

1110
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: be another one of those big Ben. Let me throw

1111
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: it five yards and hope these guys can run and

1112
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: we as we've seen in the playoffs, defense will choke

1113
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: down on Big Ben and they won't be able to

1114
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: go anywhere, especially without a run game. So that was

1115
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: ascrasher to me. I thought, I think for sure would

1116
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: be letting Juju go. But what's crazy about? Geno Atkins

1117
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: has been released by the Cincinnati Bengals, thirty three years old,

1118
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: March twenty eighth. They drafted him in twenty ten. Eight

1119
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl selection, two time first team All Pro,

1120
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: named to the NFL's All Decade Team. It's got seventy

1121
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: five point five sacks, which ranks second in Bengals franchise history.

1122
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: They say nine point five million dollars by letting him go,

1123
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: So there you go. Also with Reef, they released rightly Reef,

1124
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: so that's how they say nine point five meal with

1125
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals. So anyway, another defensive tackle out there, Well,

1126
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: let me let me hit on Jujull just quickly. I

1127
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: don't believe that Juju is the number one receiver on

1128
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: the Stealers right now. I think that uh Deontay Johnson,

1129
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: it has more potential than Juju does. And Claypool is

1130
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: an emerging receiver as well. So I would like to

1131
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: see the price sag and see if they paid him

1132
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: like a number one receiver in the NFL, because I

1133
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: see those other two guys are passing him in this

1134
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: season or the next and goodness you know, oh okay, okay,

1135
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: all right, so they didn't commit that much to him. Yeah,

1136
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: one year deal, got okay, Yeah, that sounds right. And

1137
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: this Geno Atkins Church do it? You're going to get him?

1138
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, depending on that price. Gino. I mean, if

1139
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: he's healthy, Gino is still in my mind he can

1140
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: still be a definitely a bona fide starter, and I

1141
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't call him a difference maker, but he would be

1142
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: a lot better than what we have in there right now.

1143
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: And that for sure. I go after him, oh without

1144
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: a doubt than So, yeah, I would go after him

1145
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: for sure, d MAC, I would. Um. It's by the way,

1146
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons signed four years, sixty one million dollars thirty

1147
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: five Steed money to go back to Denver, so there's

1148
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: a safety off the market. So also Justin Simmons is

1149
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They had Brad Dak Prescott. They both are

1150
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: represented by Todd Franz. So he'll become the NFL's highest

1151
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: paid safety in the first safety in the NFL to

1152
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year. So Todd France revenge tour. This, uh,

1153
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: this is pretty good. So and he also got Bud

1154
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: dupre paid in Tennessee and he tore his ACL. So

1155
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: Todd Franz played the waiting game. Didn't get those three

1156
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: guys franch I didn't get him long term contracts last

1157
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: year when all three were franchise, gets them all long

1158
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: term contracts a year later. So congratulations, Todd Franz. I

1159
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: was wrong. I apologize, Okay, okay, okay, listen, New Nui

1160
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: tell me this. Who is Trent Williams agent? All right?

1161
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,920

Speaker 1: And did you see the paid in this? In it?

1166
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: He got paid one cent more than the guy from

1167
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: from Green Bay, I believe, just so to make him

1168
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:26,720

1217
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: not answering the question. Not answering the question. I'm saying

1218
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: yea Church. I'm saying yes. You saying he could take

1219
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: this this team as the defense is constructed right now,

1220
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: he could take them to the church. Church. What was

1221
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: the record of the team then went to the playoffs

1222
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: side of the NFC each last season? Yeah, it was

1223
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: something to nine. They were all right, So you don't

1224
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: You don't have to be that great if you're basically

1225
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: what you see previously. So I believe that Dak has

1226
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: enough to at least get us to eight and eight.

1227
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: I believe that, and we can beat Washington, you know,

1228
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the final game of the season. I think I think

1229
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: we can. Listen, I think Ryan Fitzpatrick has one of

1230
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: those bad days and then we beat them. The Church Church.

1231
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm not participating in this one. I'm not because it's
