00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 6: and it feels like that because so much has happened

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 6: over the last week. We've met our defensive coordinator. Yes,

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 6: we've heard from the front office. Yes, we've heard from

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 6: Brian Schottenheimer, and we've signed a running back.

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: We'll talk about all of that.

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 6: Indeed, lots, I think there's no better way to start

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 6: this show, and by go ahead and proclaiming right that

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 6: we believe in Javante. Javante Williams is back. We're going

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 6: to talk about it as we go along on the show.

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: You guys like this set up a little I feel

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: so mature. Do you need like a cigar?

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: I do feel like any bourbon?

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: You know, like an old fashion, old fashion get a

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 6: star on the ice cube as your requests, just neat

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 6: you know what?

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 7: I need a black rifle coffee.

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 8: Shameless for the listeners, for the viewers at home, do

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 8: it there, you.

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: Go, do it, do black rifle coffee.

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 6: It is I mean, it is a nice relaxed feel

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 6: and it's a lot of a lot.

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: Of football talk.

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 6: This offseason probably feels relaxed to fans at home when

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 6: it's not in the building. That's what this last week

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 6: has felt like. It feels like there's a lot going

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 6: on as time as as passed, and I mean we're

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 6: starting to see what the complete picture of this football

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 6: team is going to be as we can get into

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 6: the combine this week. Patrick and I will be on

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 6: the first flight out tomorrow.

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 7: You guys, give me a ticket if you.

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: Want to come along.

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 7: Come along, all right, Yeah, you be in the luggage.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 7: You guys, what time to fight. I'll see you there.

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: That's a fair answer.

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like seven o'clock.

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 7: I think still seven am.

55
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: Still, Yeah, I like it.

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, early flight, early flight, get there a whole day. Yeah,

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: something like that. Easy stuff. Let's get into some news and.

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 9: Notes, like you said, Leslie, with the the headliner, which

59
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 9: is Javonte Williams is going nowhere. He has resigned on

60
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 9: a three year deal with a maximum of twenty four

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 9: million dollars sixteen million dollars if that is guaranteed. Obviously,

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 9: that's an eight million dollar average annual salary. That is

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 9: more than solid for both sides. That's a good deal

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 9: for Javonte, that's a good deal for the Cowboys. And

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 9: once again, much like a year ago when Javonte Williams

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 9: was the first player from outside of the building signing

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 9: free agency, he becomes the first deal to jump off

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 9: the Cowboys free agency this time around. So not only

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 9: do we believe in Javonte, the Cowboys do as well.

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: And you gotta love that.

71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 9: I couldn't be I could not be happier for Javonte Williams. Now,

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 9: you know, a couple of seasons are so removed from

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 9: that devastating injury. He signed a prove it deal last

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 9: year and he went out and did exactly that. He

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 9: proved it. He showed that he can do it. He

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 9: could do the dirty work. He can run between the

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 9: A and the B gaps. He's the best past protector

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 9: you have in the running backs room. He can help

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 9: mentor some of the younger guys, Jay and Blue, Phil Maffa.

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 9: And on top of that, he proved himself durable as well,

81
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 9: which was key because when you had a situation with

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 9: Miles Sanders, who was brought in to compete with Javonte

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 9: and probably be a tandem with him, and kind of

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 9: like a running back by committee scenario, Miles Sanders goes

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 9: down early, never comes back again for the remainder of

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 9: the season. Questions are who's gonna step up? Shouts out

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 9: to Malie Davis for being able to do so. But

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 9: it was Javonte turning into the bell cow. And that's

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 9: not the conversation that we were having absolutely ox nerd

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 9: in Shawnee camp. So shouts out to Javonte, well earned

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 9: three years, he's in the building.

92
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: Let's go.

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 8: And I don't think it was a matter of like

94
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 8: we didn't think he was possible of doing that. But

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 8: I think for a large portion of training game we're like, oh,

96
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 8: he's not gonna be the Bell Cow. I mean he's gonna.

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 7: Split it up, of course, and even bell where we're

98
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 7: getting with Daydan Blue.

99
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 6: I feel like Bell Cow was like the definition of

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 6: it for Javonte Williams was like, Oh, he's going to

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 6: be the starter, and he's going to see half the snaps,

102
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 6: not the majority of the snaps, and carry the running

103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 6: back and running game.

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: On his back all game or all season long.

105
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 8: No, that was not what we were thinking going into

106
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 8: the season. Obviously, the Cowboys had that in their mind

107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 8: pretty early on, probably when they signed Javante. They were like,

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 8: this guy can do it all for us, and like

109
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 8: we talked about eighty percent of the snaps, they felt

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 8: that way, which is why we never got a great

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 8: look at.

112
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 7: Him at training camp.

113
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, they would always kind of like push him off

114
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 8: to the side after a few reps and be like, no,

115
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 8: we're good.

116
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: Say a little bit of bubble rep was involved there.

117
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 7: Oh one hundred percent.

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 8: I mean I remember several practices were him like that

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 8: was two or three great runs and then he's gone, yeah,

120
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 8: you know, I'm.

121
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 7: Like, what are we doing?

122
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

123
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 6: And part I think part of that was because they

124
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 6: wanted to shelve them a little bit. What are you

125
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 6: going to see in practice versus what are you going

126
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 6: to see in the game.

127
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 8: Anyways, I'm just so surprised that they saw it as

128
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 8: early as they did. That's impressed without us even having

129
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 8: an indication of what he might be doing.

130
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: You know what.

131
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 9: I during the season, even more so about Javonte's So

132
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 9: this is a young guy that you know, a lot

133
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 9: has been said about his durability going into last season.

134
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 9: He didn't play like he gave a damn about what

135
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 9: anybody was saying about his durability.

136
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: If there was.

137
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 9: Someone coming up to tackle him, good luck with that

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 9: person coming up to tackle. I mean, he was an

139
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 9: absolute bully. He was physical. He also showed some quickness.

140
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 9: Obviously there's more quickness in like a Jay and Blue,

141
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 9: but it was surprising to see how much quickness and

142
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 9: how much berce Chavonte had. He is a complete back

143
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 9: that does the dirty work exceedingly well. Would you like

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 9: to see more from a home run capacity? Absolutely, But

145
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 9: this is the same guy who surprised many in open

146
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 9: space being able to tear off some of those chunk

147
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 9: runs as well. So I just think that not only

148
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 9: is it well deserved, but it gives the Cowboys some

149
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 9: much needed stability at the running back position, because obviously,

150
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 9: in the post Zeke Tony Pollard tandem era, it became

151
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 9: Tony Pollard. He had that good year, but then he

152
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 9: went off. But even with the Tony Polyadaro's like Who's

153
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 9: RV two right after Zeke slash Pollard, there was a

154
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 9: ton of instability. And now Javonte Williams comes in and

155
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 9: he provides you that for several years, which now allows

156
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 9: you to focus on other things that need to be

157
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 9: focused on.

158
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 6: And the numbers are very favorable for Dallas. I mean,

159
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: you look at what he.

160
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 7: The Comet year.

161
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 6: Totally yeah, agreeable. He was the ninth most productive rusher

162
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 6: in football.

163
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: Is that good?

164
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: Great?

165
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 6: Twelve hundred yards. He was a top ten running back

166
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 6: in football this past year. He is not a top

167
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 6: ten contract at the running back position this year, which

168
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 6: is huge or over the course of the contract.

169
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: Actually the average per year.

170
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 6: Eight million a year is something, and I know it's

171
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: going to be split up differently as we get more

172
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 6: details on the contract.

173
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: But let's say it is the eight million over three years.

174
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 6: These are guys I'm gonna start naming guys that are

175
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 6: paid higher than Javonte Williams.

176
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: Good and might I remind you this.

177
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: Is before we get into free agency and new deal

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 6: that are going to go wherever the running back position

179
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 6: is going to go.

180
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 8: You're saying the Cowboys set the markets.

181
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 6: Not set the market, but they guy got ahead of it,

182
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: ahead of the market, proactive, proactive, They were ahead of

183
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 6: what we're doing. But you've got I mean, these are

184
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: guys that are paid above him. Yes, please, Chubb A. Hubbard,

185
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 6: Ashton Genty, Ramandre Stevenson, David Montgomery, James Connor, Karen Jones,

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: I know, yeah, that's that's a different story, James Cook,

187
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 6: who had a phenomenal year, Josh Jacobs. I mean, these

188
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: are good running backs, yeah, but they're all paid higher

189
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 6: than Javonte Williams. I mean, you look at the guys

190
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: under Javonte Williams and it's not the same level of list.

191
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 6: I mean, Tony Pollard's there not anything against Tony Pollard,

192
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 6: but Jalen Warren, Devin Singletary, Najie Harris, Jordan Mason Jamier

193
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 6: Gibbs who he's.

194
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 7: On a rookie deal.

195
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: Uh, and a lot of these guys are rookie deals.

196
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 6: Honestly, I'm Marion Hampton and uh and b Jon Robinson

197
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: still on his rookie deal, Travis Et.

198
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: The point of.

199
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 6: This being you get him at a steal of a

200
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 6: price and and honestly, I don't know if I want

201
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 6: to call it a discount because he's getting paid more,

202
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 6: but it feels like it's a respect factor between the

203
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 6: two parties of Javante took a chance on himself, but

204
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 6: Dallas took a chance on Javante at the same time,

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 6: and it paid off for both parties. Let's be happy

206
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 6: for both parties and that's how.

207
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 4: They're moving forward.

208
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: A great point, Kyle, I'll add to that.

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 9: I think it would also play largely until Javonte's decision

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 9: to stick around in Dallas is the fact that this

211
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 9: offense has the weapons around him to allow him to

212
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 9: be able to continue to be productive. If you're running back, obviously,

213
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 9: that's arguably the most brutal position to play in the NFL. Right,

214
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 9: so the shelf life on a running back in the

215
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 9: NFL is not exceedingly long, but it can be lengthened

216
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 9: if the team that that player is on has receiving threats,

217
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 9: has a franchise quarterback. Now, we'll talk about the needs

218
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 9: for the offensive line when we get there. However, the

219
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 9: core pieces, especially being that the Cowboys very much intend

220
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 9: to keep George Pickens in the building, the core pieces

221
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 9: of there for Javonte Williams and the coordinator. Because O'Brien

222
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 9: Schottenheimer has some growing pains to learn from, he showed

223
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 9: from the outset that he can get that job done

224
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 9: and make it a prolific offense as far as scheming

225
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 9: is concerned. So if I'm Javonte Williams, I'm looking at

226
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 9: it as okay. To Coyle's point, this is the team

227
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 9: that gave me a shot, gave me a shot at

228
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 9: proving it. And in addition to that, he has a

229
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 9: brotherhood with the locker room, gets a long extremely well

230
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 9: with the offense and the defense and the coaching staff.

231
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 9: The defense is now being revamped in a way that

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 9: as we have this conversation at least looks like it's

233
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 9: about to take the right steps. If I'm Javonte Williams,

234
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 9: not only do I get to potentially lengthen my NFL

235
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 9: career by playing with weapons like Ceedee Lamb and Dak

236
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 9: Prescott and George Pickens. But I also get to potentially

237
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 9: be on a playoff team. Maybe if the defense gets

238
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 9: itself together this year, maybe the Sea word a contender.

239
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 9: So it's just something that if I'm Javonta Williams talk about.

240
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 9: I know I wor's my sign, But if I'm Javonte Williams,

241
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 9: I'm thinking about that when it comes to sticking around

242
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 9: in doubt.

243
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 8: Clearly the contract says that he was thinking that he's

244
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 8: in line with what the coach's philosophy right now and

245
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 8: one of those characters, at least for Brian Schottenhammer that

246
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 8: he loves where it's a it's a non vocal leader

247
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 8: that leads by example. He showed that all season long.

248
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 8: He was healthy for the most part for a large

249
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 8: part of the season. Only missed that last game, I believe.

250
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 8: But in all in all, all encompassing, he's the kind

251
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 8: of running back that you want.

252
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 7: And I'll stand by it.

253
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 8: I feel like he's the most physical running back the

254
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 8: Cowboys have had sense to Marco Murray, Granted, you take

255
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 8: like maybe the first two years of Zeke into that equation.

256
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 9: I think Zeke is underrated in that category, but I

257
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 9: could see the argument.

258
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 7: As far as physicality goes to granted it.

259
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 9: Was absolutely his first two years.

260
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think the larger picture is that

261
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 8: he kind of lessened in that degree later on.

262
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 7: But I'm not to talk about Zeke.

263
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 8: I just mean, like, it's just for freshing to see

264
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 8: a running back of that caliber with that strength behind him,

265
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 8: that is genuinely like you didn't expect that going in.

266
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 7: So I'm really happy with the signing.

267
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 9: There's nothing to dislike about this move. No, nothing to

268
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 9: dislike about it.

269
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 6: The question then becomes, and well, first off, I want

270
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 6: to back up what you just said. The coordinator conversation

271
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: we've had on the defensive side of the ball, where

272
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 6: it's like, oh, there's four coordinators in four years, and

273
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 6: that's one conversation I feel like an underrated conversation. It's

274
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 6: it's been four primary ball carriers in four years, and

275
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: now that's not the case. Now you know who your

276
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 6: running back is going to be. It's it's not Ezekiel Elliott,

277
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 6: it's not Tony Pollard, it's not Ricodoubtele like it was

278
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 6: the three years prior to Javonte Williams. Now it's Javonte

279
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: Williams moving into the future, but at least for the

280
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 6: next three years.

281
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 7: This is to kind of tease our other segment as

282
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 7: far as now.

283
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 6: We're going to go into that. Okay, now, yeah, okay, yeah, please?

284
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 6: Do you need to add more at the running back position?

285
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 6: That was my question here because Javonte, being what he was,

286
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 6: was already taking a chance on himself. Cowboys took a

287
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 6: chance on him. Do you need to have something else

288
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 6: to either build upon with him in the running back

289
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 6: room or is it something that you feel comfortable. Let's

290
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 6: see where these other guys go that are currently under contract.

291
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought that was the lead for second two. Right,

292
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: I think that you.

293
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 9: That's a question mark, and it's a fantastic question for

294
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 9: a couple of reasons. One, you would love to look

295
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 9: at the running back step tart right now as we

296
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 9: have this conversation, and if you're just looking at it

297
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 9: without the context of the struggles of Jay and Blue

298
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 9: with consistent practices and Phil MafA having missed the large majority,

299
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 9: i mean, sixteen regular season games because of the shoulder injury,

300
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 9: got one carry in the finale, didn't really get to

301
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 9: show you any data, any film there. But if you

302
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 9: look at it from the capacity of who you have,

303
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 9: you say, Javonte Williams is locked in. You got a

304
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 9: promising home run threat in Jaydon Blue, and you got

305
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 9: another physical downhill runner in Phil MafA. You want to

306
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 9: say that they can be done. But then when you

307
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 9: start to sprinkle in the context of it again, basically

308
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 9: one or two reps for Phil MafA all of last season,

309
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 9: so let's call it a red shirt year. Jay and

310
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 9: Blue didn't earn his way onto the field until the

311
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 9: final game, but when he did, showed some magnificent stuff.

312
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 9: But you need to see more growth there. Malik Davis's

313
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 9: maturity is maturity. Well, Malik Davis is not yet resigned

314
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 9: to the roster, so he's not there to say the

315
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 9: name for me practice squad.

316
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 4: Oh israel a bandicanda?

317
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 9: You got that, You got him on the roster, however, unproven,

318
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 9: even less so than Jay and Blue and Phil MafA.

319
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 9: The only definitive guy you have is is Javonte Williams.

320
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 9: So you can't be done. You can't be done. Now,

321
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 9: what does that mean, I don't know if that means

322
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 9: you add someone else in there agency.

323
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: Maybe it's some Malik Davis.

324
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 9: It won't be anyone that competes with Javonte because Davonte

325
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 9: is Now you're trying to figure out RB two. I

326
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 9: think it can be figured out if Jayen Blues maturity

327
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 9: and work ethic sounds as if after the regular season finale,

328
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 9: sounds as if he clicked, sounds as if he got it.

329
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 9: But let's see because here comes you know, in a

330
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 9: couple months or so, here comes OTA's a mini camp

331
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 9: and then ultimately training camp in preseason, we'll see what

332
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 9: year two j and Blue looks like, and we'll see

333
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 9: what technically year one film MafA looks like because we

334
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 9: didn't get to see.

335
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 8: Unless after the regular season finale. I feel like it's

336
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 8: Jayan Blue's job to lose. He played excellent in that

337
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 8: first half and then you saw film OFFA and spurts right.

338
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 7: But to me, the ability.

339
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 8: Is there, the burst is there, which was be an

340
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 8: excellent compliment to what Javonte Williams.

341
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 7: Provides to you. You need that burst.

342
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 8: Do I think you need to add anything right now?

343
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 8: Unless Jayden Blue doesn't pick up on that growth opportunity.

344
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 8: If he does not mature between now and the start

345
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 8: of preseason, like we need to see it in preseason

346
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 8: as well, then yes, but it would be another situation

347
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 8: where you're getting a Miles Sanders type UH player or

348
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 8: Malik Davis. I would be totally fine with that. Resigning

349
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 8: Milie Davis earned it.

350
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 6: You feel like, do you feel like Miles Sanders plays

351
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: into this equation at all?

352
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 8: Probably not, because what you saw from Malik Davis. I

353
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 8: think I think Millie Davis was more than serviceable.

354
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 7: What's up?

355
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't think Miles Sanders plays into it?

356
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 7: Probably not, But I just meant by what you're.

357
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 9: Saying, Yeah, Malik Davis, I mean if you're going to

358
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 9: get a veteran that you want to be able to

359
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 9: plug into that RB two. Because I was going to

360
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 9: ask the question, and your question now answers the question

361
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 9: I was going to post to Josh, which is, at

362
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 9: what point do you want to apply insurance? Because you're saying,

363
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 9: and rightfully so, you need to see what Jay and

364
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 9: Blue is going to be come preseason, you know, come

365
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 9: training camp, but you shouldn't wait to buy insurance for

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 9: that situation, any situation so when do you do it

367
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 9: until you Guys's point, I think you do it now,

368
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 9: and I think you do it with Malik Davis. I

369
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 9: think that's how you do it. I don't think if

370
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 9: it's Malik Davis and Miles Sanders going with Malik Davis. Yeah,

371
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 9: Miles Sanders came in, he battled injury, He didn't look

372
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 9: fantastic before he succumbed to injury.

373
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Malik Davis came.

374
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 9: In after being waivered toll of five times and said

375
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 9: enough is enough. Did some things in the preseason, did

376
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 9: some great things in the regular season, well, really good

377
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 9: and I'm going to say great, did some really good

378
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 9: things in the regular season. Fantastic insurance policy for RB two.

379
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 9: Bring him back. That is basically you looking Jayon Blue

380
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 9: in the face and saying love what you did in

381
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 9: the regular season finale.

382
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 7: And I think you're doing that.

383
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 8: I think in doing that, Milie Davis earned a lot

384
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 8: of favor with the coaching staff and with the head coach.

385
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 8: I mean like he talked about him constantly about his

386
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 8: work ethic and the growth, the maturity growth that he

387
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 8: had from last season to this season. So absolutely signed

388
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 8: Millie Davis. If you can right now as insurance for

389
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 8: Javonte Williams. But like still, I think the opportunity is

390
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 8: right there with Jaden Blue if he's able to kind

391
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 8: of have his head on right.

392
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: I agree, and I also think not that he does.

393
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 9: I think that the presence of Miles Sanders, not Miles

394
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 9: Sanders Malik Davis, because I do believe of those two

395
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 9: out go to Elie Davis. The presence of a elite

396
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 9: Davis keeps that motivating factor present for Jaydon Blue. I

397
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 9: think the worst thing you can do right now is

398
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 9: Jayon Blue works on consistently maturing in the role, is

399
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 9: to allow him to believe that it's his job to lose,

400
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 9: even if it's his job to lose at RB two,

401
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 9: I think you need to plunk that that variable in

402
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 9: front of him and say we believe in you.

403
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: But dot dot dot.

404
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 6: So what you guys are saying that, if let's say

405
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 6: Javonte Williams has a unfortunate circumstance, you're okay with either

406
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 6: Miles Sanders or specifically a Malik Davis.

407
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 4: To fill that role.

408
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 6: I would be because let's say, like Jayden Blue right now,

409
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 6: he has too much to prove.

410
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: Yeah to b RB one. Oh yeah, So to b

411
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 4: RB two agreed.

412
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 6: You have to have at least something there to prove

413
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 6: that he's RB one. I don't look at this running

414
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 6: back room and say there's a guy there that if

415
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 6: Williams goes down, I feel confident.

416
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 9: I feel like, if Williams goes down and Malik Davis

417
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 9: is in the building, Malik has shown you enough that

418
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 9: he can be an RB one in spurts, and in

419
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 9: that spurt, that stretch of time wherein Williams is down

420
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 9: due to injury, knock on, all the possible would here

421
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 9: that the tandem of Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue can

422
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 9: get it done in that pocket of time is what

423
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 9: I It's what I believe.

424
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, in total agreeance with that, But I think you

425
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 8: need the maturity of a Malia.

426
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 3: Also sprinkling in Phil Mafflea as a good dat he'll run.

427
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 6: I think all of those guys are going there. I

428
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 6: think all of those guys are going to get an

429
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 6: opportunity to compete when we get to Oxnart that all

430
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 6: those guys are going to be there, And I bet

431
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 6: you there's one more name in there too. It's either

432
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 6: going to be a free agent signing some veteran or

433
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 6: somebody that's on the open market, or you're you're going

434
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 6: to see a late draft pick or another undrafted free

435
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 6: agent because this draft class of running backs is not

436
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 6: as deep as it was.

437
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not as deep as it was last year.

438
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 6: And Dallas is not in a position, especially without a

439
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 6: Day two pick, to go and spin picks at running

440
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 6: back there. And so I think it would be a UDFA,

441
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: but it wouldn't shock me if they bring in somebody

442
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 6: else to try and evaluate it.

443
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 9: They could carry five on a ninety man roster. You know,

444
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 9: you get the UDF it because right now it's on

445
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 9: a on a ninety man roster. You not counting Hunter Libkey.

446
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 9: You got three right now, You got Javanti Williams, Jay

447
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 9: and Blue Phil Maffa.

448
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: You get a UDFA. There's your fourth.

449
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 9: You bring in Sanders if you want to come back,

450
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 9: bring you know, circle of block back on Sanders, or

451
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 9: get another you know, low cost running back. I could

452
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 9: see them having five at the start of mini camp

453
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 9: and then decide if they want to carry five into

454
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 9: training camp or maybe chop that down and say four

455
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 9: plus Hunter Libkey. So I mean, you can play the

456
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 9: numbers game when you have ninety men on your roster.

457
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 6: As much as I love Javonte Williams and I love

458
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 6: what he did in twenty twenty five, and I love

459
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 6: that they that he's coming back and the deal that

460
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 6: he's on all of those factors, you know what I say,

461
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: And hope is not a strategy. I just hope he

462
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: stays healthy throughout another year of being a bellcal at

463
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 6: the same level and the same significance that he was

464
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 6: this past year, and be healthy enough to where the

465
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 6: playoffs are still in your sight. It sounds good to me.

466
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 6: But even with that being said, like things happen. Absolutely

467
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 6: some of the most durable running backs in all of

468
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 6: football get hurt. That's just part of it. So what

469
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 6: are you going to do when that happens? And I

470
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 6: don't know if I feel confident right now in the

471
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 6: room below that. And this is something I've said since

472
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 6: training camp in past years, not even just this year,

473
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: but in past years, because I look at this room

474
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 6: and I see a lot of hope and developmental guys

475
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 6: and people that you feel like can take a step

476
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 6: in fourth step forward. Jayden Blue is a perfect example.

477
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 6: He has the skill set he has the burst, he

478
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 6: has the speed, all of those elements, but can he

479
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 6: actually take a maturity leap forward and can he take

480
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 6: an impact leap forward physicality from a past protection standpoint,

481
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 6: all of those things. Want to see more from the

482
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 6: rest of that group. Getting Javonte back is huge, huge,

483
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 6: because then it's the rest of the guys that you

484
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: have to worry about instead of your RB one.

485
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: And so I'm happy with everything to this point. All right.

486
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 6: This is also the first show that we've had since

487
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: we learned about Christian Parker. We learned what he wants

488
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 6: to do on the defensive side of the ball. Is

489
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 6: the three four switch and scheme a massive talking point

490
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: that we're not talking about yet. We'll talk about it

491
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 6: when we return with more talking Cowboys right after this.

492
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: How's it going? You see that Cowboys game?

493
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

494
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 4: I watched.

495
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: I've been seeing some good things totally. They have some talent,

496
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: You have some great talent, and they got some fight

497
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: hoping this is the year me too. Oh, I'm Cody.

498
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,920

00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,600

00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 6: Let's go straight to the top, honestly, Like if you

550
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 6: want to tag Jerry too, to do that, just tag everybody.

551
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 4: Well we'll see if it goes. Erry gets anywhere.

552
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: Jerry focus, Jerry, but I've got a couple of things on.

553
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 4: True that focus.

554
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 6: One of those things that was on his plate was

555
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 6: hiring a defensive coordinator. And the Cowboys finally get to

556
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 6: hear from them or Cowboys fans, I should say, finally

557
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 6: get to hear from them.

558
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 4: We got last week.

559
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 8: We got the announcement, Like literally after we talked on

560
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 8: Talking Cowboys last week, we were saying like, I can't

561
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 8: wait till we hear from Christian Parker.

562
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 6: And then not twenty probably twenty minutes spoken to.

563
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 8: After the episode ended, they were like, hey, by the way,

564
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 8: tomorrow Christian Parker press conference, par the course.

565
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is how they were used to.

566
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 6: I know they do here and that's part of it,

567
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 6: but we have a prime time because everything else fallows. Yeah,

568
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 6: you know, they had to wait for us to get

569
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 6: out of the way the uh. The good thing about

570
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 6: it is we've had kind of a week to chew

571
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 6: on it and to like dissect what he said, because there.

572
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 4: Was a lot of information, but a lot.

573
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 6: Of information that was spewed throughout that press conference. Because

574
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 6: when it comes to Christian Parker specifically, he's exactly what

575
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 6: we outlined last Tuesday. Extremely intelligent, well learned, very grounded,

576
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 6: and intense. Remember I used the word intense. That was

577
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 6: an intense press conference. Quoted the Art of War, but

578
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 6: it felt like every word had something just significant about it.

579
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 7: It's like a philosopher of defense, if you will.

580
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: And he commands a room, which I so much. Yeah,

581
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 4: then to it.

582
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: The way he commanded a room was really impressive, and

583
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 6: I can see why the team is excited about what

584
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 6: he's going to bring from a leadership standpoint and from

585
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 6: a player relationship and communications standpoint, because he communicated to

586
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 6: the media quite well what his intentions were with the team,

587
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 6: and one of those might be running.

588
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: A three to four.

589
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 3: No might, there is no might.

590
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: He said multiple he said multipre.

591
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 9: Base, and then he immediately definitively said that the base

592
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 9: would be a three to four with some matter sense.

593
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: That Steed Listen man.

594
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 9: First of all, my defensive coordinators up there with the

595
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 9: Cardier zone and you know the limit Pepper.

596
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 3: Steppa, So let's talk about it, but go out there

597
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: and whoop that trick.

598
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 9: But seriously, when it comes to Christian Parker, and I

599
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 9: said this on Twitter and I've said this in articles,

600
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 9: let's let's make sure that we express the excitement for

601
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 9: the potential that we see in him, but also temperate

602
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 9: with the expectation of reality. He's not call players yet,

603
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 9: he will have growing pains, and when those growing pains hit,

604
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 9: Let's just keep in mind that this is his first

605
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 9: year going through that process. But it's also true that

606
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 9: when you see players like Cooper dejen who now unprompted,

607
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 9: is bringing up Christian Parker and how he impacted the

608
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 9: fact that he's a first team All Pro, and then

609
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 9: Patrick certain obviously and then Quinn Mitchell. When you hear

610
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 9: those players talk about Christian Parker and other coaches, and

611
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 9: then you see the staff that he's built around him,

612
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 9: and then you hear him speak, it all begins to

613
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 9: come together. Speaking to the point of the three to

614
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 9: four something that we talked about here on talking cow

615
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 9: Boys as the staff was being built, because while they

616
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 9: were interviewing candidates for the position coaches, none of those

617
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 9: were defensive ends coaches. There were outside linebackers coaches.

618
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 6: We tried to say that last week, we tried, gave

619
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: you the on the wall.

620
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: It was all there.

621
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 9: So now they have Uzzo de Rebe as outside linebackers coach.

622
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 9: They have Scott Simons as inside linebackers coach, and those

623
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 9: two got final lives before Christian Parker step to the

624
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 9: podium and said, yeah, it's a three to four base.

625
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 9: Now you'll see some four man fronts, you'll see some

626
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 9: five man fronts, but it's a three to four base.

627
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 9: I think that's significant for a lot of reasons, and

628
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: I'll drop it to the panel after I say this,

629
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 9: but one of the most one of the biggest reasons

630
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 9: it's so significant is because it marks the first time

631
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 9: since the DeMarcus Where era that the Cowboys have run

632
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 9: three four. The Cowboys are traditionally four to three. Hell,

633
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 9: they were four to three during their Super Bowl excuse me,

634
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 9: Super Bowl dinast years in the nineties. They experimented with

635
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 9: three to four in the Bill Parcells era. They had

636
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 9: they had wins they had success, they didn't have the

637
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 9: postseason success they needed, but then they abandoned it went

638
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 9: back to their you know, comfort of their four to

639
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 9: three and now here we are three four. But this

640
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 9: is also a three four that features Quinn Williams and

641
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 9: Kenny Clark and you know, O so hopefully getting back

642
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 9: to prime osa. Solomon Thomas hopefully taken another step now

643
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 9: in his second year and a contract year for the Cowboys.

644
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 9: So the defensive line interior is set to cook on

645
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 9: a three four. You got to get those You got

646
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 9: to get those ends figured out in a big way

647
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 9: because you have defensive ends that are free agents. But

648
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 9: you don't technically need defensive ends. You need versatile off

649
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 9: outside linebackers is which.

650
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 7: Yep, I totally agree.

651
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 8: And I mean if you look back, if you if

652
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 8: you kind of look back in the way back machine,

653
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 8: Greg Ellis was once a defensive end that they converted

654
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 8: to an outside linebacker who had his best seasons as

655
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 8: an outside linebacker. To me, I hope that there is

656
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 8: some flexibility with the players that you currently have because

657
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 8: you have guys that are sort of in that tweener

658
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 8: body stage, right.

659
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 7: They can do they could do both easy, absolutely easy.

660
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 8: Even if you have a Genevian Clowney come back, if

661
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 8: you re sign him, that would be excellent for a

662
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: three to four because he has that length, he has

663
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 8: that body type that makes sense for it.

664
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: You need like two more of him though.

665
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 11: Okay, go get get over But that's that's that's the

666
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 11: thing is if and Isaiah spoke to this eloquently last week,

667
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 11: was if you're going to run the three four, you

668
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 11: can use some of the current personnel that you have,

669
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 11: but you're really going to have to overturn a lot exactly.

670
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and in a.

671
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 7: Better year to do that.

672
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 9: In that well, I wrote an article called open Market

673
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys dot dot com dot com yesterday. Make sure

674
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 9: you check that out. It lists four to five or more.

675
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 9: Go find out off outside linebacker options.

676
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 6: I love that you're excited about that, and I love

677
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 6: that it is the right year. If you're going to

678
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 6: overhaul a defense, overhaul the worst defense you've had in

679
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 6: franchise history, I completely understand. But from a realistic standpoint,

680
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 6: can you overhaul an entire defense and still get better?

681
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 4: It's hard to get worse but still get better to the.

682
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 6: Point where you need them to be middle of the

683
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 6: road for this offense to be successful and to win

684
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: football games next year, getting better than worse in the league.

685
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 6: But that's what I'm saying, Like it seems you can

686
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 6: get better than worse in the league. Absolutely, but you

687
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 6: also have to be realistic in how you build this team.

688
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 6: There are so many holes as is with the current

689
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 6: roster you have, so not only are you going to

690
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: fill those holes, but then you got to turn around

691
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 6: and the new ones that are created by changing system.

692
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: You're cool with just throwing resources and throwing people at that. Anyways, Yes,

693
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 6: because you have cornerstones. You've got guys exactly.

694
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 9: I would be more concerned if you didn't have Quinn

695
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 9: Williams and Kenny Clark and Osa and Solomon.

696
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: I would, to my.

697
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 9: Answer to the question without those four guys would be Ooh,

698
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 9: this is gonna be tough in year one. But because

699
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 9: you have those four guys, four anchors right there in

700
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 9: the middle of your defensive line, now that allows you.

701
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 9: And you also have and I said it before, I

702
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 9: say it again, I think Donovan Israel, who will thrive

703
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 9: as an outside linebacker.

704
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: I do believe.

705
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 9: So it'll be interesting to see if Jenevion Clowney is

706
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 9: brought back there. Stephen Jones said that he's there deciding

707
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 9: on if he's a fit in Christian Parker's scheme, which

708
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 9: just goes to versatility. Can you run three four and

709
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 9: you know when there's only three down man front? I

710
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 9: think he can. He's long, he's lanky, he has twitch

711
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 9: and bend. I think he can do it. Go get

712
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 9: two more guys. But I do think when it comes

713
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 9: to the outside linebackers, your edge rushers, I do think

714
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 9: Christian Parker, in addition to having Azraku bring back Clowney,

715
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 9: go get a couple more edge rushers, make a splash.

716
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 9: And free agency there is you know, and this is

717
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 9: I'll preface this. These are guys on expiring contracts effective

718
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 9: March eleventh through thirteenth. If these players re sign new

719
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 9: deals before then, they will not be free agents. But

720
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 9: I'm going to say the names as expiring contracts. Bradley

721
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 9: Chubb is one of those names. He's my top name.

722
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 9: For example, you have guys like Bradley Chubb outside linebackers,

723
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 9: proven coming off of strong years, still in their prime.

724
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 9: Christian Parker absolutely absolutely add a guy like Chubb retain

725
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 9: a guy like Clowney. You got as Roku, you got

726
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 9: the anchors in the middle. Yeah, starting, you can be starting,

727
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 9: you can't.

728
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: You can flip the switch for you could.

729
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 4: Tell me right now you could run a one to seven.

730
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 4: I don't care.

731
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 6: As long as you've got the one and those guys

732
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 6: are feel confident.

733
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Quinnon's the one. Everybody else is standing up

734
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: like you could. You could put it anywhere. As long

735
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 4: as you've got Chubb, you've got you've got quinnin. You

736
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 4: can talk me into anything.

737
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: So I get it. I completely understand. I think that's

738
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 6: where my one worry is with this is because there's

739
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 6: a lot of hopium right now in the front office

740
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 6: being aggressive, and there's a lot of talk about the

741
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 6: front office being aggressive.

742
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: But Cowboys fans, we've fallen into this before.

743
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, where we've looked at it and like, oh, this

744
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 6: has to be the year they attack it. This has

745
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 6: to be a time where they're going to create one

746
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 6: hundred and million, thirty million dollars of cap space by

747
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 6: restructuring all these deals, which they're going to do a

748
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 6: certain level of that at.

749
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 4: Some point in time.

750
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 6: It may not be the one thirty that's being floated

751
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 6: out there on Twitter and social media, but it's gonna

752
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 6: be close to that. So if it if it turns

753
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 6: into that, then great, and they want to spend it,

754
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 6: then great. But we've gotten to this point before where

755
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 6: we've looked at the Cowboys front office and said.

756
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 4: Can you can you do something? Can you can you?

757
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 4: Are you poking?

758
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 6: Can we can we get aggressive here in Javonte Williams.

759
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 6: Great start, awesome, love it. They've they've already created a

760
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 6: little bit of cap room with cutting Logan Wilson, which

761
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 6: we didn't mentioned earlier, mentioned earlier. They cut Logan Wilson,

762
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 6: they create six million in cap so they're moving pieces around,

763
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 6: they're moving around as they can be.

764
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 4: I just want them.

765
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 6: I want Cowboys fans the temper expectations of let's overhaul

766
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 6: the defense and Bradley Chubb's gonna be here, and this

767
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 6: free agent's gonna be here, and they're gonna draft two

768
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 6: all pros in the first round and it's going to

769
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 6: be incredible. It's gonna take some time, and Christian Parker

770
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: needs a little time as as a first year defensive

771
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 6: play caller.

772
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: That's where I want to just tap.

773
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 6: The brakes a little bit, because that's a lot of

774
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 6: moving and changing in shifting for somebody that hasn't done

775
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 6: it before.

776
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 7: What's one move that they could make a free agent?

777
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 8: Notwithstanding, what's one move they could make that kind of

778
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 8: tempers your worry there as far as switching over seas.

779
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: So like it.

780
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 6: It would convince me that they would be aggressive. Yeah,

781
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 6: you got to sign a blue chip d in oh,

782
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 6: outside linebacker, at rusher, whatever you want to do, like whatever,

783
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 6: like a proven got a proven defensive end and going

784
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 6: to sign one of those guys.

785
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 3: Great.

786
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: The other one would probably be Pickings.

787
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 6: If I'm being completely honest, they don't end up tagging Pickens,

788
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 6: or they tag them and they get a deal done

789
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 6: quickly before the draft, let's say before the draft. Then

790
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 6: I feel confident that there's gonna be something there. But

791
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 6: I think the first one's more likely than the second one.

792
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to say that way.

793
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 9: First wave Week one of free agency, Free agency legal tampering,

794
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 9: get in on some of these names. Bradley Tobe is

795
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 9: one I think is also reasonable for the Cowboys as

796
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 9: far as projective pays concern. But let's talk about unreasonable. Okay,

797
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 9: you want to whale Jayla Philip projected seventeen million dollars.

798
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 9: You want a bigger will Khalil Mack. You see what

799
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 9: I mean? Now that's upwards of like twenty million dollars.

800
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 9: You would have to really work some things around with

801
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 9: those numbers. Again, like you mentioned, like you alluded to,

802
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 9: they can free up one hundred and thirty eight one

803
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 9: hundred and thirty one million dollars in salary cap space

804
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 9: just by hitting restructured triggers and they don't need players

805
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 9: permission to do so. But when you start talking about

806
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 9: Jalen Phillips who last year, who coached them, right, Christian Parker? Okay,

807
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 9: So some of these names like Joey Bosai if that

808
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 9: if that's your fancy odafe Oa, Quitty Paige, Joseph Assai,

809
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 9: those I having the VPP club because those are seventeen to.

810
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty guys dollars.

811
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, those are the guys that aren't when you look

812
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 9: at their price tag, you're going to say, oh, that's

813
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 9: the cowboys are out on that. Because they also do

814
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 9: need to get pickings under contract, they make these other moves.

815
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 9: Although getting pickings under contract, guess what it does? It

816
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 9: comes off of that twenty eight million dollars. Now you

817
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 9: have more cap space. That's why, that's why it's so

818
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 9: critical to get that deal done as quickly as possible

819
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 9: so that you can make these types.

820
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 4: Of If we come back next week and they've signed.

821
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 9: Well, they'll they'll probably like thirty seven minutes after we

822
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 9: finish show.

823
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 4: They're gonna hearing about seventeen minutes.

824
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 7: Anytime they want to do that today, great.

825
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, anytime they do that, I'm cool with it.

826
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 6: But that would be a move that would prove to

827
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 6: me they're going to be aggressive and something's going to happen.

828
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 6: Speaking of the front office, let's take our second break.

829
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 9: If the news broke that the Cowboys signed Khalil Mack,

830
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 9: would you be would would you would you be on

831
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: the side of the track that says we are so

832
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 9: back or would you still be on the side of

833
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 9: the track that says, let's see, let's see.

834
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 7: Let's see it passes. I mean his prime, prime is

835
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 7: in the back.

836
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 6: He's still a good player. Yeah, the I don't want

837
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 6: to just go for names just for names.

838
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 3: That's fair.

839
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 4: They got to be a fit if they if they're

840
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 4: going to sign Khalil Mack and they're going to do

841
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: something like that.

842
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 6: I think Jalen Phillips is Jalen Phillips, I think would

843
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 6: be a fit. And it may not be as big

844
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 6: of a name, but.

845
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 9: Think it's it's definitely to the big name. I mean,

846
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 9: k a future Hall of Famer, So it's different here.

847
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 9: But Jalen Phillips still very much in his prime coming

848
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 9: from a Christian Parker, not Christian Parker led defense, but

849
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 9: a defense that had Christian Parker as one of the

850
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 9: leaders of it. Outside linebacker, still effective coming off of

851
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 9: one of his better seasons.

852
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, don't just go get names to get names,

853
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 6: Go get fits. I agree, Go get guys that you

854
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 6: are going to fit the culture. They are going to

855
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 6: maybe not fit the system, but you can build the

856
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: system with because that's what you're doing. You're building the

857
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 6: system as it goes along. And that was part of

858
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 6: what Christian Parker talked about.

859
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 4: All right.

860
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 6: When we come back the front office to speak yesterday,

861
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,359

863

Speaker 6: we're going to talk about what he hit on. One

864
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,799

916
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 6: official smile of the Dallas Cowboys, which is also I've

917
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 6: always thought that's funny, and I think I've said it before,

918
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 6: but when you have in visile line, they tell you

919
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 6: not to drink coffee with your visil line in because

920
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 6: it like tends it and like makes it yellowish, like.

921
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 7: Black purple coffee doesn't do that black.

922
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: You don't want drink visil line ten it just get

923
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 3: some nice five percent.

924
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 9: That's five percent you're pulling over.

925
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: But he's a nice five percent.

926
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 6: When I was doing in visil Line, I actually had

927
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 6: the mindset of, like, wait, okay, so if it's gonna

928
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 6: tint the invisile line, why don't I just drink the

929
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 6: coffee as normal, so that way it doesn't actually hit

930
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 6: my teeth like so that way it doesn't like make

931
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 6: your teeth yellow or whatever like coffee is supposedly doing.

932
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, whatever, I don't.

933
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm quirky man. Maybe I'm quirky. Maybe

934
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 3: the rest of the world is quirky.

935
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 9: I don't ever, ever really understand why people when they

936
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 9: drink they allowed the fluid or whatever they drinking to

937
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 9: go through the teeth, right, because I mean, if you

938
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 9: think about it.

939
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 4: How's doing that.

940
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: There are people I've seen people to.

941
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 7: Go through the teeth.

942
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it kind of touches your teeth exactly right.

943
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 3: But the drinking, No, I'm not saying they're being weird old,

944
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: that's weird.

945
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 4: That's what I mean.

946
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

947
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 9: There's a way you drinking and what you're drinking and

948
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 9: not touch your your fronts at all.

949
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: Nah.

950
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, all right, let's go to Stephen Jones.

951
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: Yesterday at the NFL.

952
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 6: I spoke to some of the media members out there

953
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 6: in Indianapolis.

954
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: Will be out there tomorrow.

955
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 6: But Stephen, I mean was very clear about what we've

956
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 6: said the entire time in the end, the the entire

957
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 6: social and media landscape took it and said, oh, they

958
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 6: expect to tag George Pickens. Well, yeah, they haven't done

959
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 6: it yet.

960
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: But they do. They've expected that for him in the

961
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 4: six months now this morning.

962
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, so back up again, anything that Steven said yesterday, Patrick,

963
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 6: I know you're you've written on it already.

964
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 4: What were some of the things that you took away?

965
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 9: I mean, obviously he said they expected, like you said, Kyle,

966
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 9: the Cowboys if they if they feel they need more time,

967
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 9: they're going to hit the franchise tag on George Pickens.

968
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 3: But it's with the goal of buying more time.

969
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 9: What stood out to me in that conversation was what

970
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 9: Stephen Jones said. He noted Dak Prescott, he noted the

971
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 9: Marcus Lawrence. Now, granted, those two guys were tagged more

972
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 9: than once, but it's also true that they didn't play

973
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 9: under the final time that they were tagged because the

974
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 9: tags were rescinded. Dak Prescott's was rescinded fairly early in

975
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 9: his second tag, I think three days later, and DeMarcus

976
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 9: lawrence Is was rescinded in April not long after. So

977
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 9: that is to say that just because the Cowboys play

978
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 9: place a franchise tag on the player doesn't mean it's

979
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 9: going stick. It gives them until mid July to get

980
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 9: a full deal done before the NFL deadline passes. The

981
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 9: concern there then becomes, well, that means you're carrying a

982
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 9: twenty eight million dollars fully guaranteed salary cap hit the

983
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 9: entire summer until Slash unless you get that deal done.

984
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 9: That goes to the second thing that stood out to

985
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 9: me about what Stephen Jones said, which was we can

986
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 9: do everything we need to do end quote with the

987
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 9: twenty eight million dollars there. So for those fans that

988
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 9: are out there saying, well, you know, if they extend

989
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 9: George Pickings, they won't have money to do much, well,

990
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 9: that's a flawed argument, because if they extend George Pickings,

991
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 9: they have more money to do what they need to

992
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 9: do versus the twenty eight million dollar fully guaranteed. And

993
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 9: for those that are saying, well, if we have to

994
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 9: carry him on the franchise tag, if the Cowboys carry

995
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 9: him on that tag, they won't be able to do anything.

996
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 9: We've set it in the previous segments one hundred and

997
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 9: thirty plus million dollars can be free to buy restructions

998
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 9: a loan that do not require players to approve, and

999
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 9: then of course you're going to have attrition. Logan Wilson

1000
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 9: was released to free up six and a half million.

1001
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 9: We don't know who the Cowboys might be considering doing

1002
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 9: that too as well, to free up more money. Point being, yeah,

1003
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 9: I know, I'm yeah. Point being that you're right. Money's

1004
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 9: not the issue when it comes to getting George Pickens

1005
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 9: locked in and getting these deals done potentially in free agency,

1006
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 9: making these splashes and still having money because you have

1007
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 9: to have a certain amount earmarked for the draft as well. Right, So, Stephen, Yeah,

1008
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 9: I love what I'm hearing from Stephen Jones. The only

1009
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 9: thing I didn't like when it's true, though, doesn't mean

1010
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 9: I like it just because it's true.

1011
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: Right.

1012
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 9: It's true that a deal of this magnitude has so

1013
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 9: many machinations that it can't take time. And Stephen Jones said,

1014
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 9: these take time, These types of deals take time.

1015
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: That's true. I don't like it, but that's true.

1016
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 7: You don't like those words.

1017
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 3: I don't like those words, but it's true.

1018
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 4: We don't have a table to head.

1019
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 3: We don't like those words, but it's true.

1020
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 9: So you know, cowboys having till martch third to either

1021
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 9: sign a deal with George Pickens or to apply a

1022
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 9: franchise tag the other. If the tag is applied, don't

1023
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 9: go panicking because they still haven't till mid July to

1024
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 9: do something.

1025
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 8: Question for you guys, though, granted you know it may

1026
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 8: take time to get George Pickens done if it's one

1027
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 8: of those tumultuous signings yet again that we have to

1028
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 8: deal with.

1029
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 7: Are you guys at all? And we're not this podcast?

1030
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 8: But we're gonna be this podcast for two seconds because

1031
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 8: we got a new setup and everything. Okay, do you

1032
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 8: trade George Pickens on the tag? I'm asking you Patrick

1033
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 8: you We're not done here, buddy, Are you serious?

1034
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 7: I'm having the conversation to the not I don't like.

1035
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.

1036
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 3: You're not doing Why would I do it?

1037
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 7: For nothing? I mean, for anything, everything has a price.

1038
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 3: I want your soul.

1039
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 9: But what I'm saying is for those that because someone

1040
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 9: posts a question to me on Twitter yesterday, no, see,

1041
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 9: would you trade George Pickens for another first round pick

1042
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 9: or something like that? Think about what you have in

1043
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 9: George Pickens, and think about what you're looking to get

1044
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 9: with a rent with a draft pick. What you're looking

1045
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 9: to get with the draft picks are George Pickens. Yeah,

1046
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 9: you already have George Pickens. What is George twenty four,

1047
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 9: twenty five something, twenty eighty five, twenty five going into

1048
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 9: twenty Yeah, going into twenty five. This is a newly

1049
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 9: minted twenty five year old coming off of the best

1050
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 9: fourteen hundred yards nine touchdowns. Right, narrative of the locker

1051
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 9: room completely debunked. Okay, he has the chemistry, he has

1052
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 9: the talent, and the upside hasn't even been completely achieved

1053
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 9: yet and he's in his mid.

1054
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 7: But he takes off plays Patrick, I don't want to

1055
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 7: hear that crap.

1056
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 4: Most receiving yards a people.

1057
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 9: Who don't even check their outlook like they're supposed to.

1058
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 9: You're taking off plays in the offense.

1059
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 6: Most receiving yards in the NFL since twenty twenty two,

1060
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 6: this is when Pickens was drafted, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase,

1061
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 6: Ceedee lamb Amna, Saint Brown, aj Brown, Tyreek, killed Devonte Adams,

1062
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 6: George Pickens, So he's come eighth on the list.

1063
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: In the last row who not even hit his ceiling yet.

1064
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 4: And that's with it one one thousand yard receiving year.

1065
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 9: He's now with a highly effective All Pro quarterback and

1066
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 9: a complimentary piece that's a multi time All Pro. And

1067
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 9: he has a a running back that's now secured on

1068
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 9: three years that has Pro Bowl potential. Sure, what you

1069
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 9: don't do is remove George Pickens from that and hope

1070
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 9: a draft pick can fix it. Otherwise, now you're back

1071
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 9: in there in no shape to the god. But the

1072
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 9: truth is the truth. Now you're backing the whole Jalen

1073
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 9: Tobert conversation. So for so long fans were like, well

1074
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 9: we need a complimentary piece to CD lamb. Why are

1075
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 9: they shoving Tobert down our throat? Okay, well you got

1076
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 9: you got the definitive piece. You got two wide receiver ones.

1077
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 9: Now you want to ship one out for a draft prospect,

1078
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 9: all be it a first rounder that you have no

1079
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 9: clue if they're going to pan.

1080
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 7: Out the way that George Pickens has.

1081
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 13: The way that right now, not to spend the CD

1082
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 13: right the compliment he is the CD, the way that

1083
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 13: he fits with you with DAK, the way he fits

1084
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 13: the system that Brian Schottneimer calls, I mean, I don't

1085
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 13: think it's a possibility.

1086
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 4: I know there's been chatter about it among leagues.

1087
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 8: You almost have to have the conversation because it's it's

1088
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 8: a possibility.

1089
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 7: I don't remember we have PTSD from Michael Parson.

1090
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody's everybody's scared about what happened with Micah and

1091
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 6: that was kind of its own bubble situation. The conversation

1092
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 6: in league circles is that Pickens wouldn't get more than.

1093
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 4: A second No, that's what it is. That's what the

1094
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 4: circles are.

1095
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 3: I can't even get me on because first.

1096
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 6: Exactly, so that automatically takes me out of the conversation.

1097
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 6: But the league circles are saying a second round pick

1098
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 6: is what it would be because if from a thirty

1099
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 6: other teams thirty one if you include the Steelers, I'm

1100
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 6: saying thirty teams that would want to attain George Pickens.

1101
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 6: They still look at it as three years of solid

1102
00:50:53,560 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 6: production and semi off the field problems in Pittsburgh, one

1103
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 6: year of unbelievable production and incredible teammate in the building,

1104
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 6: but with some like small fines and things like that.

1105
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 4: In terms of like being late to meetings or whatever,

1106
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 4: all of.

1107
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 6: That twenty four okay exactly, so all of it is

1108
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 6: minor off the field stuff, but they they saw it

1109
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 6: as he was under under pressure in a contract year,

1110
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 6: so he had to rein it in. He had to

1111
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 6: bet on himself, and he had to stick it out,

1112
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 6: and that's why he had fourteen hundred. You know what

1113
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 6: I was season he did, which is what the league

1114
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 6: looks at it. Like, whether that's accurate or not, that's

1115
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 6: what the league player player. I'm as a Cowboys reporter

1116
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 6: and as a somebody that is interested in what he

1117
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 6: does for this organization, I think he does more for

1118
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 6: this organization than a second round pick ever could.

1119
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1120
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 6: So even with all that to be said, it's a

1121
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 6: possibility because if things break down and it is Michael

1122
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 6: Parson's two point zero, which honestly, even if it is that,

1123
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 6: it would have to be worse than that, because it

1124
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 6: would have to happen for the draft correct. It wouldn't

1125
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 6: go into training camp like it did last year, it

1126
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 6: wouldn't go into a holdout like it did. It would

1127
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 6: have to be so bad and break down so significantly

1128
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 6: in order to trade him because they would need to

1129
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 6: trade him before April twenty fourth, and that's not gonna

1130
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 6: happen in my eyes. So I as much as the

1131
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 6: trade conversation is there, it's a big time fat note.

1132
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 7: It's a moot point.

1133
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 9: And for the league representatives that might be looking at

1134
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 9: it from the capacity in which you just stated, oh, well,

1135
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 9: he showed up and showed out in Dallas because contract

1136
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 9: year and he had to, I would counter that with, well,

1137
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 9: you know who was throwing him the ball in Pittsburgh,

1138
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 9: Mason Rudolph.

1139
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph and justin Fields.

1140
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 9: Which one of those quarterbacks is going to help you

1141
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 9: get fourteen hundred yards and nine touchdowns in the season.

1142
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 3: The answer is neither.

1143
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 4: I think just nine. It's gonna be okay this year.

1144
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 9: I think okay, neither of those were going to help

1145
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 9: you get fourteen hundred yards nine touchdowns in a Pro Bowl,

1146
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 9: knot none of them.

1147
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

1148
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 9: So instead of looking at it as well, it was

1149
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 9: a contract year, that's why he did it, look at

1150
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 9: it as in his contract year. It just so happened

1151
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 9: to be a contract year in which he finally got

1152
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 9: the right quarterback, in which he finally got a complimentary

1153
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 9: piece at wide receiver in which he finally got a

1154
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 9: definitive running game.

1155
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: Shots out to Najie Harris.

1156
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 9: They had a solid running game in Pittsburgh, So I'll

1157
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 9: give him that, but complimentary piece was not there for

1158
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 9: him Pittsburgh. Quarterback was not there for him in Pittsburgh,

1159
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 9: and I would even argue that the offensive coordinator was

1160
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 9: not there for him Pittsburgh. Right, So he got those

1161
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 9: three critical pieces to help him ascend to the next

1162
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 9: level of what George Pickens can be. And all of

1163
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 9: that happened to happen in a contract year. That's how

1164
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 9: it needs to be looked at.

1165
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 4: And I think those in the building understand that.

1166
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the NFL might just say he was putting

1167
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 6: on his best behavior because he was in a contract

1168
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 6: year and he didn't want.

1169
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 7: To be the productions there.

1170
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't want to be negatively impacted by two

1171
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 6: organizations in the NFL that have long story that success and.

1172
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 7: The production is there.

1173
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

1174
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 7: That's yeah, you have to gloss right over.

1175
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 6: That completely agree, all right, that doesn't for us on

1176
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 6: talking cowboys. We gotta get out of here and then

1178
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 6: They're gonna they're gonna move the draft up between now

1179
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 6: and then they're gonna end up drafting somebody next week.

1180
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 6: It'll be incredible craft. Yeah, it's gonna feel like training campbell.
