Speaker 2: period is win Patrick, it is yesterday, so let's talk

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: about it. It feels like every time that we record

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: this show, every time, every week, every week, right on

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: the dot, right on the dot when we get off

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: the air. Here literally last week we got off the

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: air talking about Osa Diggezua. We were talking about the

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: return from Osa, what that would look like.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 7: My gosh, that was a week ago.

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: It was a week ago. It was within ten minutes

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: of the end of our show. And it never ceases

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: to fail ever. No, but it it was re signed,

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: or it was an OSA deal that was reached. It

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: was done. It's like the shelf life of our show.

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: Everybody's probably listening to it on their way home from work.

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: They're like, these idiots don't know what they're talking about.

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: They didn't know Osa already resigned. No, we didn't at

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: the time, but he did get it done and he's

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: back now. Since it was a week ago, there's been

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: a couple other things that have just created starting yesterday,

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: all right, And to.

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 8: Be fair to us, we just, like you said, we

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 8: joked about it after the show. OSA hadn't officially signed it.

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 8: They agreed while we were talking, and then he signed

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 8: because I was standing right there making sure he put

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 8: that pen to paper so there's not a cheese.

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 7: It was like in the room, Yeah, yeah.

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, Let's make sure that's high priority stuff. I

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 8: had to make sure. I had to put eyes on it.

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 9: All right.

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 8: So, like you said, Kyle, a few things have taking place,

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 8: So let's just run down the list and then we'll

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 8: make it a free for all, let's put all the

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 8: opinions out there.

50
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 9: Because we got opinions.

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we did.

52
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 8: Hold cal I was letting them fly before we went hot.

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 8: I was like, hold on, save this, save it for THEA,

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 8: for the show, all right. So I got three categories, stay,

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 8: get A, stay, got, and go Okay stay. Ohso Diggi

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 8: Zua signs a contract extension the highest priority in house

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 8: free agent, four years, eighty million dollar maximum of value,

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 8: fifty two million dollars in guaranteed money.

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 9: He was here to stay.

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 8: Marquise Bell, They're going to forego that tender on him

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 8: as a restricted free agent three years at twelve million

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 8: dollars max, so averaging four year, four four million per

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 8: year for those three years. Markuith Bell, he's still recovering

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 8: from that shoulder injury, but key special teams player and

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 8: obviously has some potential as a starter at safety. Trent

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 8: C long Snapper three years at four point four to

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 8: five million dollars hefty coin four long snapper tells you

68
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 8: how good Trent Seg has been since he joined the

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 8: Cowboys two three seasons ago.

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 7: Does it also indicate maybe the punter situation sticking around? Possibly?

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: I don't know.

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now, they're going

73
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 8: to try to keep Anger around. And I don't see

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 8: a situation wherein obviously anything's possible, but it feels like

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 8: that's a forgone conclusion that that marriage will continue. You

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 8: can't break up the band at this point, especially when

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 8: you got Brandon Aubrey but Banger, yeah, butter Banger.

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 7: And the American Snapper.

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, because Aubrey has been banging the table to keep

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 8: that unit together.

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: I saw it yesterday at some point. Uh, Brandon Laurie

82
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: on on Twitter, who does a good job of covering

83
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: some cowboys stuff and he's one of the content creators

84
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: out there. He's dude.

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: He uh.

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: He put out a tweet and he was like, yeah, nice.

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: He's like the the second best social media presence outside

88
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: of Josh. Butler's back on the team next year. And

89
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: everybody was like liking it and they were having fun

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: with it. But Trent, Trent sick. He replied to it

91
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: and he goes, what does Josh have on me? It's

92
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: like four million followers on TikTok or whatever he has.

93
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he has four million, but he has

94
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: a couple mill I think on TikTok he's baiting his dogs.

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: He's got a great story on the background. We've talked

96
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: about it before on this show, but Trent was like,

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: what's he got on me? Yeah, it's good to have

98
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: those guys.

99
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and what's crazy?

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 8: Not crazy, but what what's admirable also is when you

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 8: talk about a Cowboys organization that moved on from l

102
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 8: p LA de sur I love saying.

103
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 9: Of the legendary long snapper.

104
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 8: Obviously a lot of Cowboys fans were like, what are

105
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 8: you doing? Especially how that all went down. Trent c

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 8: comes in and just effortlessly picks it up and runs

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 8: with it.

108
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: And the other part about it, too, is without John Fossil. Yeah,

109
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: you had some question marks when John Fossil took the

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: job of Tennessee this offseason. You said, Okay, is this

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: the end of what has been a golden era of

112
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: special teams for the Cowboys? Not necessarily. You've got Brandon

113
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: of course for a little bit of time. Brandon Aubrey's

114
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: back next year. Now you get Trent said you're planning

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: on resigning Anger. He signed j Goode j W.

116
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 9: The next to them.

117
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 8: Listen if he good Win is back on another one

118
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 8: year deal at veteran minimum. CJ is is chugging along

119
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 8: and we love it.

120
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, so he did a silently great year, which

121
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: is kind of what you expected.

122
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 9: Us. Spoke with CJ.

123
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 8: Goodwin throughout the process, spoke with him after he agreed

124
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 8: to terms and again after he signed the deal, and

125
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 8: he's he glows like a twenty three year old man,

126
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 8: Like he's excited right now in his early thirties as

127
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 8: he was at twenty three. So you'd love to see that. Now,

128
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 8: let's talk about the exclusive rights for the agents. Brock

129
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 8: Hoffman one Ya, Thomas, Tyrus Wheat all locked out, all

130
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 8: locked in, lock him up, lock him up, all good stuff,

131
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 8: all on minimum deal, so to be around one point

132
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 8: old one So let's just say roughly one million dollars

133
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 8: per for each of them. But brought Kaufman, which is

134
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 8: either your potential starter at center or your potential starter

135
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 8: at right guard. He is still in the building one

136
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 8: year Thomas. We already know what he can do for

137
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 8: special teams. We know what he can do for the

138
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 8: defensive standpoint, much like Marquise Bell. He has potential to

139
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 8: be a future starter at the safety position.

140
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: We know what he can do in the preseason, which

141
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 7: is almost get me fired and kicked out of the

142

00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 8: because I want to end on a good note. Yeah,

161
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 8: well we lost toy Doga. Here, lost Toy Doga to

162
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 8: the Jacksonville jag Wars good luck two years at seven

163
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 8: million dollars, and now it goes from there.

164
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 9: We lost Chauncey Ghoston. It's a step up.

165
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 8: It is a step up to the Giants. He's going

166
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 8: to Big Blue Boys. Something about the NFC East teams,

167
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: you know, picking the part the Cowboys, keeping.

168
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 7: A close eye. I thought we were the worst team

169
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: in the in the divide works.

170
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean we're not We're.

171
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 9: Not funny how that works. Everybody wants your talent, But.

172
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 7: If it was left of the public opinion, we would.

173
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 7: That's true.

174
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 8: Supposedly you suck, but your your rivals want all your talent.

175
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 8: Chauncey Ghoston to Big Blue three years at nineteen and

176
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 8: a half.

177
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Chauncey's gonna have a good career.

178
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 8: Well, I think they're going to full time him at

179
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 8: defensive end and.

180
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: They're going to push him back to end, which was

181
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: not as normal position. He was a third round pick

182
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: at as an edge out of Iowa. They tried to

183
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: pigeonhole him a little bit. I was the one that

184
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: wrote the story on how they moved it to defensive

185
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: tackle and it just didn't work the way that they anticipated.

186
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 10: What was his contract twenty nineteen and a half, so yeah,

187
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 10: roughly twenty They tried to hyron Crawford him too much

188
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 10: less over two years or three three three a nineteen

189
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 10: and a half.

190
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably would have hit that number. I would

191
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: have done that to keep him around just as a

192
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: rotational guy.

193
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 8: Well, you know what, it's tough. I'll put an asterisk

194
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 8: go on that because I'll say this to that. What

195
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 8: if they were willing to match that number or come

196
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 8: close to it. But from a Chauncey ghost and standpoint,

197
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 8: he was like, how are you going to play me? Yeah,

198
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 8: if you're going to keep me with the rotation Hiroon

199
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 8: Crawford thing, then I'm out because I can get this

200
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 8: money somewhere else as a full time.

201
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: Defense b and ed Rusher.

202
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 8: Right, So I get the get I get that. That's

203
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 8: sure that that conversation.

204
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: I think it's a better fit. Their defensive front is

205
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,359
Speaker 2: not nearly as as deep. Even with all the problems

206
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: and holes that we're talking about. They don't have a

207
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons. They didn't have a DeMarcus Lawrence, they don't

208
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: have Sam Williams. They don't have a couple of these

209
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: other guys that were waiting to get healthy along the way,

210
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: Marshawn Neeland being another one.

211
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 7: But you put him next to Dexter Lawrence.

212
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're they're gonna let him eat. He'll be good

213
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: there for a.

214
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 9: Little good yea. And now the biggest loss.

215
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: Thank you guys for listen. Imprest it.

216
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 9: George Leaves to the Jacksonville jack Wars.

217
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, three years I paid nickel in the NFL history.

218
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: It's for the span of like seven hours.

219
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 8: And you know, I love that. For Jordan, I cannot

220
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 8: stress it. Of course, this is something that he had,

221
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 8: he deserves.

222
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 9: He came in. Look at his journey. He came in.

223
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 8: He was pegged as undersized by you know, Christopher Shard

224
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 8: and Rob Marynelli at the time, and all he did

225
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 8: was just grind through it and just pushed through it,

226
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 8: and he ended up becoming a starter, and he became

227
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 8: the resident Ballhawk before Trevon Diggs and de Ron Blank

228
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 8: came into the picture. He's always been that culture guy.

229
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 8: He's always been that dog. Talk about the rookie training

230
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 8: cap him versus Deaz Bryant. You knew then, you knew

231
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 8: then that that, uh, that Jordan Lewis is going to

232
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 8: be a problem. He's yapping at peak Das Bryant, yep

233
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 8: as a rookie Desmond, I'll.

234
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 9: Never forget the desmin the DEAs Man.

235
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 8: So Jordan Lewis, he leaves and he gets his bag rightfully,

236
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 8: so it creates a massive void at the cornerback position.

237
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 8: We'll get into that here shortly. As far as the gets,

238
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 8: who do we get? Javonte Thomas from the Broncos, running back, young,

239
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 8: twenty five, twenty six year old guy, one year deal

240
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 8: at three and a half million dollars.

241
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 9: Thomas, I think we're Williams.

242
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 2: Think you combine two of our signings in one. Name

243
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: was Davonte Williams driving all night?

244
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 9: Five, driving all night?

245
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: All right, Javonte Williams, you were driving all night?

246
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

247
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 8: I drove in from North Carolina one year at three

248
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 8: and a half million dollars. And we'll talk about what

249
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 8: all of this means respectively. We're just going down the

250
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 8: list right now. Robert Jones, offensive lineman from the Dolphins,

251
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 8: one year, four point seventy five million dollars. Solomon Thomas

252
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 8: defensive lineman, most recently played for the Jets under Aaron Whitecotton,

253
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 8: who is now the defensive line coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

254
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 8: Solomon Thomas also x first round pick of the San

255
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 8: Francisco forty nine ers. I was very high on Thomas

256
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 8: coming entering that draft that year. Two years at eight

257
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 8: million dollars for Solomon Thomas, get him tagged up with

258
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 8: OsO Diggi Zua.

259
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 9: They play similar roles. We'll talk about that as well.

260
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 8: So as far as who was acquired right now, biggest

261
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 8: name is going to be Solomon Thomas, and I approve

262
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 8: of that greatly. So that's who has chosen to stay.

263
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 8: That's who we've lost and who that's who is incoming.

264
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 8: And now I opened the door.

265
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: The table for the conversation.

266
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 9: Conversation.

267
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: I think we got to start with the biggest name,

268
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: and the most recent one is Solomon Thomas.

269
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 7: Confirmed a mere twenty minutes ago before we started this.

270
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: So luckily a look, we got it beforehand. We might

271
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: have another name by the end of the show. We see,

272
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: we'll see what ends up happening. Of course, Thomas out

273
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: of college was just straight up a dude, went to

274
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: San Francisco, never really hit the ground running with San Francisco,

275
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: was shipped off to Las Vegas, and then ended up

276
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: with the Jets the last three seasons. Last year finished

277
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: with twenty two total pressures on two hundred and sixty

278
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: two pass rushing snaps, had seventeen tackles, four sacks, and

279
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Remember this is a defensive tackle, not an edge rusher,

280
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: still kind of an athletic three tech former top five pick.

281
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: I think when you're looking at Solomon Thomas, everybody's going

282
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: to look at the name. And I've seen the Twitter's fear.

283
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: I've seen the comments sections and everybody looking at this

284
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: and saying, why aren't we going and getting this guy

285
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: or that guy or another guy. Not every signing can

286
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: be a fifteen million dollars name. Solomon Thomas is as

287
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: close to a good rotational depth piece that has some

288
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: upside talent and as a veteran in this league at

289
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: six foot two, two hundred and fifty five pounds, that

290
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: you can rely on to kind of mix and match

291
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: with Osadigi Zuez.

292
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 7: Patrick mentioned a moment again, and you have some familiarity

293
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 7: there too with Aaron White Cotton, who's our defensive line

294
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 7: coach now, who obviously played under him last year with

295
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 7: the New York Jets. Well of the last two years.

296
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 7: I'm a little concerned just looking Pro football focus wise,

297
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 7: I haven't watched a lot of tape on Solomon Thomas,

298
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 7: but the overall run defensive grade now that's been obviously

299
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 7: our Achilles heel on defense for the last few years decades,

300
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 7: it feels like. But Patrus Grady gets a sixty one

301
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 7: point two, which is above average. I'm liking as far

302
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 7: as what you're saying, he looks the part. Dude looks massive.

303
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah.

304
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 7: The fact that he's also from Coppell, which that's intriguing too.

305
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 7: Welcome home, right, But I'm a little concerned as far

306
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 7: as run defense wise, But for the price that you're getting,

307
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 7: I completely understand it, and I like the signing here.

308
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 7: And you can no longer say the Cowboys are not

309
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 7: doing anything in free agency this year compared to last year.

310
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 7: Come on, guys, what are we talking about.

311
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 8: I think when you talk about the fit of Solomon Thomas,

312
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 8: you make a great point. There is a question mark

313
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 8: around his run defense. However, look at him as as

314
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 8: an OSA back up. Okay, so, because we all know

315
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 8: Olso didn't like the defensive lineman, they're not going to

316
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 8: play one hundred percent of the snaps. What you're trying

317
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 8: to prevent is a massive fall off from when OSA

318
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 8: leaves the game for Rest or whatever the sub package

319
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 8: might be. If you put a guy like Solomon Thomas

320
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 8: in there, then you know that, although it might not

321
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 8: be the exact same level of what OSA will give

322
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 8: you, you know that you're going to get a guy who

323
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 8: can penetrate the backfield.

324
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Just like he's Chouncey Golston's replacement.

325
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 8: He's a replacement for Chauncey Ghoston. But I would argue

326
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 8: that he's a step up. He's an upgrade. I believe

327
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 8: he's an upgrade over Cho today. And now I don't

328
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 8: know if I could say I believe the Jets version

329
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 8: of Solomon Thomas with Aaron Whitecotton is an upgrade over

330
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 8: Chauncey Ghoston. I believe the San Francisco forty nine ers

331
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 8: version of him would not necessarily be viewed that way.

332
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 9: I like what Aaron white Cotton was able to do.

333
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: He has ten sacks over the last two years.

334
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 8: There you go five sacks twenty three three and a

335
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 8: half sacks in twenty twenty, so he can get after

336
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 8: the quarterback. Twelve quarterback hits collectively over the last two seasons,

337
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 8: so he can get back there. He's also going to

338
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 8: be available for you sixteen games available last season seven.

339
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: I can I stop you just for a one second,

340
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at this comment section. We're not hyping

341
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: up Solomon Thomas. That's not the point they're starting though.

342
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Why are we spending money on these backup players. You

343
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: got to build a roster, and he's the biggest name

344
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: so far because he's a former top five pick. That's

345
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: what we're talking about here. So I'm looking at the

346
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,119
Speaker 2: comment section. He says he's a bench player. Yes, rotational

347
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: defensive tackle. They signed him for money. Yes, Oh okay,

348
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: they signed him for money that is equal to what

349
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: a rotational defensive tackle should make in the National Football League.

350
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: We're not saying that he's going to be an incredible

351
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: player and that he's a game changer and whatever it

352
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: may be. They haven't made that signing yet. Let's make

353
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: that be completely clear here. Out of the names that

354
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: we just read off and the guys that they're bringing back,

355
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: Osu Digizu is the biggest impact player that they've retained.

356
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: But as I'm looking at this comment section, I'm not

357
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: saying that Solomon Thomas is the difference maker of the

358
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: NFL and the difference maker for how the Cowboys are

359
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: gonna win the NFC East and make a run to

360
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: the n NFC title game for the first time since

361
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six. Stop it. They got to put players

362
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: on the roster. You gotta build a roster here, guys

363
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: playing in simple Listen, that's how.

364
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 7: Fun Frendon says. Bodies, bodies, bodies.

365
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 8: We need bodies, bodies, bodies because at a certain point, yes, yes,

366
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 8: we all agree we would like the Cowboys.

367
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: They haven't made the splash sight and we wore the

368
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: splash we want.

369
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 8: That's however, playing in some still also have to build

370
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 8: your bench.

371
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 9: Okay, you have to build your bench.

372
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 8: So yes, we can talk about how greatly we approve

373
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 8: of the Solomon Thomas signing as a backup. So stop

374
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 8: stop the corny almost.

375
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 7: Was Dante Fowler was he was? He kind of a

376
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 7: rotation He was a rotation guy. Oh yeah, all right,

377
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 7: and he kind of likes all right.

378
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 8: Let me tell you look at twenty twenty four, for example,

379
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 8: you're ravaged by injuries, right, and you keep going deeper

380
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 8: and deeper into the depth toy you any talented guys.

381
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 8: And like I said, when you look at what Solomon

382
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 8: Thomas brings to the table, they're not trying to make

383
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 8: him a starter. Ideally, they want him to be rotational

384
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 8: behind oh, so Diggizu and then in certain packages maybe

385
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 8: they'll play side by side, depending if it's like third

386
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 8: and long or something like that.

387
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: But he's more than capable.

388
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 8: He's proven it, and he's reuniting with the guy in

389
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 8: whitecotton who's gotten the most out of him thus far

390
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 8: in his career with the New York Jets. This is

391
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 8: a really good pickup for the Cowboys. We're not saying

392
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 8: he's a Hall of Famer.

393
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 9: Relax.

394
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 8: It's okay to hear that we like something without taking

395
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 8: it and running all the way down.

396
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 9: The street with oh, they're trying to put a gold

397
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 9: jacket on it.

398
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 8: We want to see more action too, So just calm down,

399
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 8: just relax.

400
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: And that's my point is, you're right. The track record

401
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: hasn't been there. And we've talked about this on this

402
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: show multiple times before, and we're not going to back

403
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: up the fact that if Solomon Thomas is the biggest

404
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: name that you're signing this offseason, then that's a failure

405
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: playing and simple. That's a failure of an off season.

406
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 2: But right now, in the moment, when we're literally on

407
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: day two, we haven't even been forty eight hours into

408
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: this thing of the legal tampering period. Then we're able

409
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: to talk about it and say, hey, that's a decent signing.

410
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: That's something that it's good for the value, and it's

411
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: good for your defense. It's not everything is the beginning

412
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: or the end of something special and not the playing

413
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: and simple point.

414
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 7: Free agency is this weird microcosm of and I think

415
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 7: Nick Harris put it really well yesterday front of the

416
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 7: Show Nick Harris, he said, and this is something that

417
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 7: I always think of when it comes to free agency.

418
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 7: But it's like that day one, you're often paying top

419
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 7: tier money for second tier players. Yeah, that's the name

420
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 7: of the game. The Cowboys have not spent over six

421
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 7: million dollars on a free agent since Greg Hardy. So

422
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 7: my thing is here, what are the Cowboys doing strategically

423
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 7: this year compared to last year.

424
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 9: Let me put it this way, and I'll qualify it.

425
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 7: It's night and day.

426
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 9: To Cole's point, we.

427
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 8: Are sitting here and we're talking about how much we

428
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 8: really love the Solomon Tomma pick for what it is.

429
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 7: For what it is, for what it is what it is,

430
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 7: but we.

431
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 8: Don't and I'm going to speak for these guys, and

432
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 8: I know they're going to agree. We don't have the

433
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 8: same energy about a Javonte Williams and a Robert Jones,

434
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 8: two guys on a one year deal who will have

435
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 8: to fight their way through training camp to maintain a

436
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 8: roster spot. We're not sitting here saying Javonte Williams is

437
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 8: going to preclude you from taking Ashton Gent if he's

438
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 8: available as well, or from getting happy.

439
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: He's a body of Carolina and he's twenty four years old, right.

440
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: I like the youth. I like the like the youth.

441
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 8: There's some things to light there, but we're not going

442
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 8: to speak of him in the same way we're speaking

443
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 8: about Solent Solent Thomas. So qualify each thing that we're

444
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 8: saying and each thing that we're talking about.

445
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: People just want to listen, and they just want to complain,

446
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: and they just want to get it.

447
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 7: But like what Chris Hare says, don't waste our time

448
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 7: arguing with Chad. Let's let's supplement it with with some chat.

449
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 9: Let's say what to Javonta Williams.

450
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 8: Again, I don't think I know for a fact it

451
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 8: doesn't preclude them from using a premium pick and running back.

452
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 8: But I do get the feeling that that's signing precludes

453
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 8: them from keep being reco.

454
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree, and I want to

455
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: hit that on the other side of the break. I

456
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: want to hit that on the other side of the break.

457
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree there, because I like

458
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: the upside of Javonte Williams, but I don't think Rico

459
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: Daddle's out of the question yet. Right after that, more

460
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: talking cowboys after the break.

461
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 11: If you're looking for fresh American roasted coffee that gives back,

462
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 11: you need to head to your local grocery store and

463
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 11: pick up a bag of Black Rifle Coffee. That's right,

464
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 11: America's coffee is now available in the coffee aisle of

465
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 11: a grocery store near you. Black Rifle Coffee Company is

466
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 11: veteran founded with a mission to give back to those

467
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 11: brave men and women who have served our nation. Every

468
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 11: bag box or can you purchase help support that mission.

469
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,840

00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,240

518
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 2: Free agency addition, I know the tensions are high right now,

519
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: but let me just remind you. Last year there was

520
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: a statement that kind of rung amongst Cowboys Nation because

521
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: people believed Jerry Jones and what he was saying at

522
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: the time, and that statement was all in. They believed

523
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: it right.

524
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 7: What happened? Were they all in last year?

525
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 9: All out?

526
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: They were not? So why are people believing it? Whenever

527
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: he goes up and speaks to the media on Wednesday

528
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: and he says, yeah, we're not really.

529
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 7: Looking at free agents.

530
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: Why do you believe it?

531
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 7: Now?

532
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: Why do you believe that?

533
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: Now?

534
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 9: They're selectively aggressive with they believe.

535
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: It's gamesmanship and if they aren't aggressive there, I mean,

536
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: that's part of it. I mean, that's just kind of

537
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: been their track record, and we're talking about it. But

538
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm at least gonna sit here and watch this thing

539
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: unfold as opposed to assume.

540
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 9: What's going to happen.

541
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: And that's what we're talking about what is playing out currently.

542
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 9: Everyone who will head it.

543
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 8: From you on Twitter knows that's my main thing. Let

544
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 8: it play out. Stop with the knee jerks and just

545
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 8: let it play out and then assess it in hindsight

546
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 8: and say this is what should have been done.

547
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 9: But you don't know what's going to be done.

548
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: Or not It's like people that give grades after the

549
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: draft is over and they're like, yeah, the Jacksonville Jaguars

550
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: are going to win the Super Bowl because they had

551
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: all these great names that fell to them in the draft.

552
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: And then where is Jacksonville again?

553
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 9: This just happens.

554
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, And this is the same Jerry Jones who said

555
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 8: that a couple of weeks ago at the NFL Combine,

556
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 8: he said that we're not the combat.

557
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 9: He didn't speak at the combin but shortly.

558
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 7: After the come famously didn't speak at the combat.

559
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 8: Shortly after the combine, he said that the Cowboys weren't

560
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 8: looking to use free agency to Phil Holes, Salomon Thomas

561
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 8: feels one.

562
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 9: So you know, and and so it might go from there.

563
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 8: My point being is Kyle's point, just let it play

564
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 8: out and see what happens, and stop always biting the

565
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 8: carrot that Jerry intentionally puts out there for you to bite.

566
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 7: The sound bites are sound bites for that exactly.

567
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 9: There you go.

568
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: The other thing that lines and that hasn't been talked

569
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: about enough, is this is a really mid.

570
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 7: Free agent class. Yeah, it's not great.

571
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: This is not a great free agent class. You don't

572
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: have the names like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry at

573
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: the top and some of those other names like they

574
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: had last year.

575
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 7: This is a mid free agent.

576
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 9: Now, I will say this.

577
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 8: I will counter that by saying it was a mid

578
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 8: free agent class until teams started to release premium names

579
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 8: ahead of Legal Tampa. You're talking about now, I wanted

580
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 8: a guy like Jonathan Allen for example. Example Hardgrave was

581
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 8: out there and.

582
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 7: They both go to the Vikings.

583
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 9: They did Vikings, put in some work.

584
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 8: Drake Greenlaw, he was a nick that the Cowboys were

585
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 8: interested in connection to Nick Sorenson. There, I said, keep

586
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 8: an eye on Drake Greenlaw. Cowboys did have interest, they

587
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 8: reached out. They lost that battle.

588
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 7: My heart fluttered a little bit without right.

589
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 8: So say there there were there was an influx of

590
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 8: big names that were released prior to legal tampering. And

591
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 8: though that list of big names that wasn't mid. You're right,

592
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 8: that was not mid.

593
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: But the original free original was like yeah, but I

594
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: mean right now, according.

595
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 7: To Broncos by the way, Craig green Lock.

596
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: Got it, Greg Rosenthal's like top one hundred and one

597
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: free agents that we read through last week on the show,

598
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: the best available name right now is Amari Cooper.

599
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 9: So now we're back to mid.

600
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: It's med.

601
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 9: Now we're back to mid.

602
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 8: So Cowboys, I will say, and I agree with Cowboys

603
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: fans here, they did have their shot. You had your

604
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 8: chance to take Jonathan Allen, Hardgrave, Dre Greenlaw, which was

605
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 8: high on my list, some of these other names.

606
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 9: Charge Charvarius Ward. Now you former caight if you wanted

607
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 9: to pay that money or not.

608
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 11: We talked about that last week, right, But he got

609
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 11: a bag though, he did get it.

610
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 2: What did he get? What a Charter Ward don't have.

611
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: I'll look at it, I'll get it.

612
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 9: All it was a It was a whole bag. Proud

613
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 9: of Tarvaria's.

614
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 8: But so yeah, for the names that were influxing, and

615
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 8: there's there's another name that's going to expected to come

616
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 8: free here soon if reports are true, and say, if

617
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 8: reports are true, to cover ourselves from tamprein rupee. If

618
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: reports are true, and if the Los Angeles Rams opt

619
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 8: to release Cooper Cup, that's another premium name that will

620
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 8: hit the market. And guess what, the Cowboys still need

621
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 8: a wide receiver too, So put in the call. Kick

622
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 8: some tires on Cooper Cup.

623
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 7: You don't have three first round picks. You just have one.

624
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 8: Now, and that would be a perfect example of if

625
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 8: you go and get a guy like Cooper Cup now

626
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 8: it really frees you up to do to do whatever

627
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 8: you want for that.

628
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 7: That sounds like filling holes.

629
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 9: No, see, hey do it.

630
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: Thirty five million, twenty million guaranteed over three years for Ward.

631
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: That is a bag.

632
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 9: That's a whole bit.

633
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 7: I don't think they would have been able to do

634
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: that or wanted to do.

635
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 8: That for know why that's frustrated? Yeah, because he was

636
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 8: in the building.

637
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 9: Now.

638
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 8: I thought about this and I wrote this in an

639
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 8: article in one of the Open Market series Butterfly Effect,

640
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 8: because you have to wonder, because I think scientifically you

641
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 8: have to wonder if you keep tur Varius Ward. You know,

642
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 8: is Deron Bland here No exactly, so you have to

643
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 8: wonder he can choose. But he was here, and that

644
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 8: Parker guy, you know of where is he now? So nonetheless,

645
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 8: there's still some names are going to come up right

646
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 8: now because the premium names are all going. I'm with

647
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 8: Kyle now he gets back to it being a mid

648
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 8: free agency, which then now you're trying to feel what

649
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 8: you can feel before you get to the NFL Draft.

650
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 8: But again, if that Cooper Cup guy comes free, absolutely

651
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 8: go hard at that.

652
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 9: In my opinion.

653
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: Uh, going back to our conversation in the first segment

654
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: when we were talking about running back and Williams.

655
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 8: I disagree he's had some health issues, but Cup sucks.

656
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 7: Watch watch some films, guys.

657
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: Uh, the the Javante Williams Ricodowdell conversation. I don't think

658
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: Javonte Williams his signing.

659
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 7: I don't think.

660
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: It'll discourage ric o'dowdell from coming back now. I don't

661
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 2: think rico' dawell will come back for outside reasons, because

662
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: there are a number of reasons why he wants to

663
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: test the market. His value has never been this high,

664
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: especially at a time where he's been a free agent totally.

665
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: He established himself as a legitimate NFL running back this

666
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: past year, going for one thousand yards. There's some question

667
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: marks though from the league, question marks on if he

668
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: wants to be in a one to two punch in

669
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: a loaded backfield. There's nobody lining up to go grab

670
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: Rico Dowdell as their feature back right now, especially when

671
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: he only had the two touchdowns last year and he

672
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: had some red zone, fumbling issues, and a couple of

673
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: things like that. I'm looking at Rico Dowdell as a maybe,

674
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: but I really I would put it more so on

675
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: the side of he's gonna get some money and he's

676
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: going to go somewhere, kind of like what Javonte Williams

677
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: did from Denver, same kind of thing. Williams had been

678
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: with Denver for a good amount of time. Denver probably

679
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: would have brought him back on less than three point

680
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: five million. It's three million with three point five is incentives,

681
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: is what Dallas signed him to this year. Denver would

682
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: have probably tried to bring him back on less than that,

683
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: but he's going to try it somewhere else. Dallas needs

684
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: a guy to fill some roles, and now you've got

685
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: somebody other than Deuce Vaughan in your backfield that can

686
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: tote the rock rock and have some production.

687
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 7: For sure, at least with Rico. If it is a

688
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 7: situational thing, and I don't know, I'm just speculating. If

689
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 7: it is a situational thing where he wants to be

690
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 7: the lead back, I don't know that there is an

691
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 7: NFL team that is willing to give him that. I

692
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 7: don't know that he's built that over the second half

693
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 7: of last season to say I'm the lead guy. This

694
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 7: is it. Yeah, I think his best bet is going

695
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 7: to be a one to two punch to me. I mean,

696
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 7: that's less hits that he has to take. That's more

697
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 7: opportunities for him to have spurts where he goes out

698
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 7: there and does things. But I don't know, man, Maybe

699
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 7: the writing is on the wall here. You probably expect

700
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 7: the Cowboys to draft a really young, obviously rookie in

701
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 7: the NFL Draft. So I don't know. I don't know

702
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 7: that the writing's on the wall here for him necessarily,

703
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 7: but I think getting Javonte Williams says to him most

704
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 7: likely the leverage isn't necessarily on his side anymore. We

705
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 7: don't need a Rico. It would be nice to have

706
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 7: him in the rotation, absolutely, but on the wall, baby.

707
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 8: I think the timing of signing Javonte Williams is telling

708
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 8: when you look at, you know, the Cowboys last year

709
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 8: and the year prior, the way they attacked the running

710
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 8: back position at free agency was they kind of waited, right,

711
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 8: They waited until after the draft, saw where all the

712
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 8: chips failed. Then they saw who was still available, and

713
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 8: then they kind of played it from there as far

714
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 8: as throwing bodies at the position.

715
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 9: Okay, the fact that.

716
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 8: Instead of signing Rico up front and what is still

717
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 8: the first wave of free agency, as we have this conversation,

718
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 8: you throw a one year, three and a half million

719
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 8: dollar deal at a younger Javonte Williams. It makes me

720
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 8: wonder because what does that mean. Does that mean that

721
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 8: you didn't think Javonte Williams would be available later on

722
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 8: at one year, three and a half million dollars.

723
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: It feels like he might have probably would have.

724
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 8: So if you're willing to do that, let's round up

725
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 8: to four million dollars for easy math. If you're willing

726
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 8: to throw forward him, and let's say you were to

727
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 8: bring back Rico, and Rico's projective value is six.

728
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 9: That's ten.

729
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 8: I think now that takes you out of premium pick

730
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 8: for a running back. But I don't think you are

731
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 8: comfortable doing that if you're the Cowboys. I think you're

732
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 8: really trying to find the future at the position. So

733
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 8: and I just I don't when for those that are saying, okay, well,

734
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 8: because you brought up a good name, Ronald Jones yeah,

735
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 8: Ronald Jones wasn't signing the first wave.

736
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, Royce Freeman. Ron Jones signed in the first wave.

737
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 8: So I think that when you look at the one year,

738
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 8: three and a half million, you're thinking, okay, well, maybe

739
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 8: that keeps Rico in the conversation. Maybe it does, but

740
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 8: something keeps telling me the timing of it, like why

741
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 8: sign Javonte right now? Unless you're looking at Rico saying, hey,

742
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 8: you know this is our plan.

743
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 7: And but on your on your point of premium pick

744
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 7: being a running back, I don't know that that's the

745
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 7: case anymore, especially after yesterday when you're now looking for

746
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 7: healthy cornerback.

747
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 9: But define premium pick.

748
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 7: Premium pick in the first or second round for me.

749
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 9: Fair So if you, let's say you don't get it,

750
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 9: there's depth there.

751
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 8: Obviously, don't get an Ashton Gent Yeah, in like the

752
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 8: first round, but depending on how the chips fall, hypothetically speaking,

753
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 8: you get Chael Mario on Hampton second round. Okay, still

754
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 8: a premium pick, that's aah and in a damn good

755
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 8: pick in the second round.

756
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 7: We're going with all North Carolina running back.

757
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 9: Let's do it. Let's do it.

758
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 8: I know Jesse Holly would just be thrillered, right, But

759
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 8: I say that the type of situation I feel would

760
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 8: be more conducive. And this is we we love what

761
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 8: Rico brought to the table. We're big Rico for Rico,

762
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 8: We're big Rico fans here. But if you look at

763
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 8: the plan going forward, uh, and then you look at

764
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 8: it from a Rico standpoint, his entire career has been

765
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 8: playing behind guys Zeke and Tony for several years, and

766
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 8: then when he got healthy, he then had to he

767
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 8: was forced into the by committee approach, clearly fromrustrated by

768
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 8: that he finally breaks free of that he gets his

769
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 8: one thousand yards, first undrafted player in Cowboys history to

770
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 8: do so, this might be as much leverage on the

771
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 8: open market as he ever sees. So make a good point, Josh,

772
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 8: I'm hard pressed to figure out which team would you

773
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 8: know pay.

774
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 9: Him what his asking price is.

775
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 8: I feel like the Rico deal will be it here

776
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 8: or somewhere else lands later this week, in like the

777
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 8: second wave of free agents.

778
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I don't know who it is here. Zach

779
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 7: Palmer says Rico and his agent may have overplayed their hand.

780
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 8: Maybe very but also I can't blame him for testing

781
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 8: the market either because no curse the first time he's

782
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 8: ever had a chance to test.

783
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 9: Exactly, especially with this type of value.

784
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 7: So and to Coylle's point, there is enough film on

785
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 7: it now to warrant that.

786
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 9: For sure, So maybe he did overplay his inn.

787
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: Now there there is a running back still available that's

788
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: kind of a top name, JK Dobbins, who was an

789
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: NFL Comeback Player of the Year final. Would you still

790
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: be interested in bringing in another free agent name at

791
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: running back because I know in the past they really

792
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: don't like spending more than eight or nine million in

793
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: the backfield.

794
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 8: That's why I put that's in outther because they're not comfortable.

795
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: With it exactly. So JK could be a guy. He's

796
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: only twenty six. He's somebody that you could possibly bring in.

797
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: Had a great year last year, kind of in a

798
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: rebound from an achilles tab So twenty six year olds

799
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 2: with some medical red flags in the past, but coming

800
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: off of a great season could be something to look at.

801
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm If you're going and signing

802
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: JK Dobbins, then I think you're taking running back off

803
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: of the board for Ashtan genty first off, and second off,

804
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: maybe even in the second round of the NFL Draft,

805
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: because then you're gonna address some of your other positions.

806
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 9: I would still I'm in on JK. Dobbins.

807
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 8: As I said last week when we were breaking down

808
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 8: the open market series, I'm in on JK. Dobbins projected

809
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 8: Viaspo Trek is four million dollars give or take four

810
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 8: plus that three and a half, seven and a half.

811
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 8: That doesn't take me out of the running for a

812
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 8: premium pick, because what it does is it guarantees you

813
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 8: because you still need to make sure.

814
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 9: JK.

815
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 8: Dobbins is back to JK. Dobbins that injury. See what

816
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 8: the upside is it might take it might and I

817
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 8: stress might, it might take me out of running.

818
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 9: For why, First.

819
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: Why do I hate like atch working our running back position?

820
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 9: Well, this is why.

821
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 6: Why.

822
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 7: Because we've done it, we've been doing why.

823
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: This is why I'm saying it when we're talking about

824
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: this is what I'm saying.

825
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 9: It shouldn't take you out the running.

826
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: Then then I.

827
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: Don't want to. I would rather just go grab a guy.

828
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: I would rather go get one of these topics. I'm

829
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: still watching the film running.

830
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 7: But here's the thing.

831
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: Your insurance is Javonte will Okay, So.

832
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 8: Here's a scenario that Fonte Williams, JK Dobbins fuse like

833
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 8: Goku and vegeta a seven million dollars dedicated to those

834
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 8: two guys, and then you see how the draft falls.

835
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 8: If it falls to a point where let's say you

836
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 8: walk away with gent or hamped on it, any one

837
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 8: of these other.

838
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 2: Then I'm cutting one of those.

839
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 9: You look at.

840
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 8: Javonte Williams or JK Dobbins through you let them go

841
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 8: through mini camp. Yeah, see who is impressing and as

842
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 8: you approach training camp you make that decision. Then, But

843
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 8: what I'm saying is, don't box yourself out. Don't don't

844
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 8: go and get JK Dobbins to add to in the scenario,

845
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 8: get JK Dobbins to add to Javontio Williams and say, oh,

846
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 8: we're good, we're good, and we're not having to spend

847
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 8: a premium pick on running back.

848
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 9: No you're not. No, you're not.

849
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 7: If we don't pick up a cornerback here in free agency,

850
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 7: are you guys sort.

851
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 8: Of pimped now in the top twelve? Yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

852
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: So you're right because now you don't have Jordan Lewis right,

853
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: you have three healthy cornerbacks on the roster currently, You've

854
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 2: got three healthy guys, and we saw what the health

855
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: and how quickly that can fade very fast in the

856
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: off season or in the middle of the season as well.

857
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you, guys, I'm concerned about Trayvon.

858
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 7: Diggs long term.

859
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 9: Okay, I am.

860
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about his injury.

861
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 7: Long term, and that's sort of been the writing on

862
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 7: the wall for a minute.

863
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Trey, I mean, when he is healthy,

864
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 2: he's still a great player and he's an impact guy. Doroan,

865
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily super worried about. I think that was

866
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: just kind of a freak gear and he just reaggravated

867
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: it and then went back out there and was fine.

868
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 7: But we were never told that, dude.

869
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thought process with moving forward at Corner and saying, yeah,

870
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: we're good because we've got all pros on both sides

871
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: and now you don't have a nickel that you can

872
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 2: really count on.

873
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 7: The heart of your event.

874
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: I think Corner right now has skyrocketed towards the top

875
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: of my list.

876
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 9: Which is what DT would have done if you didn't.

877
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: Get if you didn't get, oh so easy.

878
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 9: You're right, that's the situation at cornerback.

879
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: And they could still add a DT and I'd be

880
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 2: fine if, like if the hard Grave thing would have

881
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: worked out.

882
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 7: Fine, But where are you at, Jonathan Allen? Where are

883
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 7: you at cornerback? And are there enough free agents currently

884
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 7: that you would take a look at and not be

885
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 7: as concerned in the first round in picking a cornerback.

886
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 9: No, not, as we have this conversation.

887
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: No Stefan Gilmour, Christian Fulton or some of the names

888
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 2: Sante Samuel Junior out will I would think about that.

889
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 2: Would he's only would he's only twenty five? I would

890
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: look at would uh Fulton? I mean Fulton was decent,

891
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: he had some good times and some bad times. And

892
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: then you could bring back a thirty five year old

893
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 2: step On Gilmour.

894
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 9: Which still doesn't take you out of the draft.

895
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah, I don't think any of those guys

896
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: would take it.

897
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 8: And then when you look inside the building, now you

898
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 8: look at Okay, Trevon Diggs is likely going to miss

899
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 8: some time to start the season. And now you and

900
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 8: rightfully said I will, I will agree that I need

901
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 8: to see him back on the field and in prime

902
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 8: form for an extended period of time before I can

903
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 8: say well this this neat thing. So with that being said,

904
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 8: you lose him for some period of time in twenty

905
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 8: twenty five, you lose Jordan Lewis completely. Let's say Deron

906
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 8: Blam remains healthy, Okay, great. Kailyn Carson he had very

907
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 8: up and down, more down than uppy season and he

908
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 8: had the season ending shoulder injury.

909
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: He never had a chance to create any momentum, no

910
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: work his way back.

911
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 8: Josh Butler suffered twenty acl late in the season. Is

912
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 8: he going to be ready to start the season, And

913
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 8: even if he is ready, will he pick up right

914
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 8: where he left off and be that kind of unsuspecting breakout?

915
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 7: He was building to something, but he wasn't quite there yet.

916
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,959
Speaker 8: Also, Israel Mukuamu. Is he He's still a free agent

917
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 8: right now, He's not in too a deal.

918
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 9: So is he returning? Is he not returning? Because he is?

919
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 11: He?

920
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 9: Is he not? Mm air five bang.

921
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 8: If Mukuamou does return, then at least you know you

922
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 8: have a more than solid rotational guy who can maybe

923
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 8: pick up some duties as like Big Nickel, Big slot.

924
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 8: He did that against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom

925
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 8: Brady the great success and that then why do.

926
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: I hate this too?

927
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 8: But I say all of that to say. Nothing I'm

928
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 8: saying is to make you feel comfortable. Even if you

929
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 8: bring Izzy back, he's not giving you Jordan Lewis numbers.

930
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 8: Even if Kayln Carson gets back and hits the ground running,

931
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 8: still a rookie, still has a curve to go. He's

932
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 8: not going to give you Jordan Lewis up front, Josh Butler,

933
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 8: He's not going to give you Jordan Lewis up front.

934
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 9: You gotta address the issue.

935
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 8: You have a boundary issue with Trevon Diggs's injury, and

936
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 8: you got a nickel issue, and you in house, you

937
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 8: don't have anybody to fill it. And as far as

938
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 8: outside the building right now, with names that Charles Various

939
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 8: going and Byron Murphy going, so forth and so on,

940
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 8: you're kind of in dire streets.

941
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 7: And it's not like Deron is a shutdown either, like

942
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 7: he's a ball hawk for sure, But there were concerns

943
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 7: for me, as far as.

944
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 9: I do think to answer some of the questions.

945
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 7: In most of the Tampa game, it wasn't.

946
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 9: The case before now, but it is now.

947
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 8: I think now you have to entertain cornerback in the

948
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 8: first round.

949
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: I think right now, as we.

950
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 8: Say, as we sit and have this conversation March eleventh,

951
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 8: another week before we take youre of our.

952
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: Lord twenty twenty five, as we sit in this very moment,

953
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: I think if I had to place a bet on

954
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 2: where the Cowboys would go in the first round had

955
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: picked number twelve, I think it would be corner And

956
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: the only thing that trails impossibility too is trading down.

957
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 7: So who the fans need to look out for now?

958
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 7: Cornerback wise?

959
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: Will Johnson is the first name that kind of comes

960
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: to mind around there, free agent.

961
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 8: Which would then take you out of the first round

962
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 8: for a quarter, right, I mean maybe if you give

963
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 8: me a Santi Samuel Jo and your I would be

964
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 8: comfortable for going.

965
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking for I'm looking for a nickel or a

966
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: boundary guy, because like I said, I'm a little I'm

967
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: a little concerned. But the the yeah.

968
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 7: Takes you out of that best player available pick that

969
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 7: we've been talking about for months.

970
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: Will Johnson's up there, Jade barn from Texas is up there.

971
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 2: Let me pull up my draft sheets. The Draft show

972
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: isn't for another twenty minutes. Umm, we need a break too, Yeah,

973
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: let's take a break. When we come back, we're gonna

974
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 2: kind of wrap things up here on the free agency

975
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: side of things, maybe talk about some of the rumors

976
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: that are out there too that the Cowboys could be

977
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: interested in. And remember, it's all gonna change by the

978
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 2: time we're back on the air in like twelve minutes anyways,

979
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: so we'll be back with more.

980
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 12: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to

981
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 12: jog in the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big

982
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 12: Cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd

983
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 12: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can

984
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 12: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is

985

Speaker 12: Todd has eight and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

986
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 12: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

987
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 12: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

988

Speaker 2: Please do not go over the top in the comments.

1049
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 2: I'm a can at you Melvin? Melvin Melvin significantly over

1050
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: the top every time he gets.

1051
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 9: In there is the consummate attention seecert.

1052
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's let's talk about some guys that deserve

1053
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: some attention down the line. What are some of the

1054
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: rumors that are floating around out there in terms of

1055
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 2: free agent names or anybody out there, uh that you

1056
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 2: would be interested in. You kind of hit one earlier

1057
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: with that guy that plays out in the West Coast. Yeah,

1058
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: I mean, as it's staying coffee something spok coffee.

1059
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 8: Since this is such a fluid situation as far as

1060
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 8: rumors and speculation, and then teams, I mean, guys landing,

1061
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 8: It's it's difficult to pinpoint as we have this conversation

1062
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 8: because you know, if we had this show yesterday, then

1063
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 8: it's Drake Greenlow, it's our various Ward and.

1064
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 2: I think one of those two would have silenced all

1065
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: of the significant.

1066
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 7: No you're paying for you know, yeah, it's all bad.

1067
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 2: You're right.

1068
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 8: The intelligent, the intelligent Cowboys fan would have been like, oh, you.

1069
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 9: Absolutely wanted to.

1070
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 7: But guess who is louder uh the minority.

1071
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: The thirty five million. Thirty five million for Travarius Ward

1072
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: is a lot. It is so I think that would

1073
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: I would consider in overpay, but I think it might

1074
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: have been worth it for a team that needs cornerback

1075
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: help after.

1076
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 7: The loss of Jordan Lewis, it would have supplemented.

1077
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: It would have been fine to overpay there. But like

1078
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 2: we talked about earlier, and then you've got thirty five

1079
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: million for Dre Greenlaw.

1080
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 7: Too, so it ended up being right around the same.

1081
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 8: Man, think you even Justin Fields got got a bit

1082
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 8: of a bag.

1083
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 7: A bit of a bag.

1084
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, what did he?

1085
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 7: Forty million dollar?

1086
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 9: Twenty million average?

1087
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: See what I mean? Like, gon't get gold get Daniel

1088
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: Jones signed with the Colts for seventeen points.

1089
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 9: And that landed. That didn't land before we started hitting.

1090
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, like seventeen point seven to the Coltsdaniel Jones.

1091
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: DJ.

00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 7: I don't know.

Speaker 9: I mean there there are names out there.

Speaker 8: I mean like like, how do you guys feel about

00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 8: Stefan Diggs, Stephan Diggs?

1096
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 9: How do you feel?

1097
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 7: Nah, I think it'd be interesting.

1098
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 9: Would they keep you auto wide receiver in addressing?

1099
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, No, it would be I think it'd be

1100
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: fun because one, his number is going to be lower

1101
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: than it ever has been.

1102
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 9: Yep, coming off with an injury.

1103
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he was banged up. He didn't have a

1104
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: ton of success in Houston. Anyways, Can I tell you

1105
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: the market it's probably way off because we were looking

1106
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 2: for that year four point five, but.

1107
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 9: The market is fourteen.

1108
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 7: It would be so much lower than that, it would.

1109
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 8: Have that number go get Yeah, what if what if

1110
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 8: you could get Stephan Diggs at eight.

1111
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 7: No health wise, what's your number?

1112
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 9: Everybody has a number, ten, dude, everybody has a number.

1113
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh, it's somewhere in between there, six, six

1114
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: and eight. I think I'd be okay his health man,

1115
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: I just.

1116
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 9: A lot for him.

1117
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 2: Starter wide receiver, You're that's that's the thing. You're not

1118
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 2: asking him to be wide receiver one. You've got that.

1119
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 2: You're asking him to come play with his brother, hopefully

1120
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 2: and come play with his brother across the line of

1121
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: scrimmage from him and be a guy that can be supplemental.

1122
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: You're asking him to be Brandon Cook's hurt.

1123
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 7: Okay, earnestly, I would love to see Brandon Cooks back

1124
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 7: instead of that, Instead of that with a new offensive scheme,

1125
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 7: with a new offensive mind and using him and you there,

1126
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 7: I would rather take Brandon cook thing.

1127
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 8: Make it a three pick Brandon Cooks, Stephan Diggs, DeAndre Hopkins.

1128
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 7: Brandon Cooks be Cooks.

1129
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 9: Is I don't have a problem within I have a problem.

1130
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: And remember he had some availability.

1131
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 8: Trying to figure out if Schottenheimer is going to have

1132
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 8: same struggle with figuring out how to use cranic Cooks

1133
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 8: as his predecessor Mike McCarthy. That's my problem. It's not

1134
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 8: with Brandon Cooks. It's with the utilization of Brandon.

1135
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 7: And I think that changes because it's not.

1136
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 9: A complete turnover offensively.

1137
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 8: You got Schotenhaimer, And again we talked about this when

1138
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 8: Schottenheimer was named head coach. Yeah, we don't know what

1139
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 8: the Schottenheimer's offense looks like. We know what it sounds

1140
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 8: like because he's answered those questions like when I posed

1141
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 8: the question to him as far as modern modernizing the offense.

1142
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 8: We know what it sounds like, but what does it

1143
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 8: actually look like? And that that makes me a little

1144
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 8: bit nervous. So that's why I would lean maybe toward

1145
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 8: test as now out.

1146
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 7: But how did Schottenheimer answer your question about about movement

1147
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 7: on the line.

1148
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 9: It's going to be, yeah, it's going to be movement.

1149
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: See now we've got some really good.

1150
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 7: How better to use Brandon Cooks?

1151
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 6: Then?

1152
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 7: Come on, man, where was it? I think with Schottenheimer

1153
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 7: implementing his new offense, I think that gives Brandon Cooks

1154
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 7: a better utilization in this offense. Maybe with with the

1155
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 7: movement with the packages.

1156
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I've seen Diggs have success in multiple places.

1157
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 9: I would love Brandon cook.

1158
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean, so the Cooks. I guess you could say

1159
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: the same thing.

1160
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 8: I would love Brandon Cooks to stick around on this

1161
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 8: team if the utilization is going to get us the

1162
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 8: thousand yard possibility of Brandon Cooks. Now not saying it

1163
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 8: will be two thousand yard receivers, because he's definitely going

1164
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 8: to get his, but if that's the type of Brandon

1165
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 8: Cooks that we're getting, and this is no knock to

1166
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 8: Brandon Cooks, because this Brandon Cooks was there last year

1167
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 8: after he got back from injury. He was there year before,

1168
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 8: but just not utilized the right way.

1169
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 7: Yeah. I like what l Dub says here. Diggs will

1170
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 7: complain when he's unhappy. I think drama too.

1171
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: You know you think that goes down though with his

1172
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: brother and the too, or maybe it goes up, goes

1173
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 2: up maybe one way.

1174
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 8: And then it makes me Now you have the nock

1175
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 8: the de Hop conversation, because d Hop would be more

1176
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 8: likely more willing I speculatively speaking, would be more willing

1177
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 8: to accept the w R two role over at this

1178
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 8: point in his career, over Stefan. I think Stefan still

1179
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 8: thinks he's wr one, but he's.

1180
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 7: Not and Hop and CD would be a.

1181
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: I compared CD. It was funny when when CD was

1182
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 2: coming out of Oklahoma, I compared that was one of

1183
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: the first years I was doing like Cowboys draft coverage.

1184
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: Actually it was the first year, but I compared him

1185
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: to DeAndre Hopkins. That was my comp to him, and

1186
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 2: everybody's like, you're crazy, You're out of your mind. You

1187
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell you're talking about. He's been

1188
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 2: better than D Hop, like CD's numbers and his impact

1189
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 2: and everything that he's done from the even the prime

1190
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 2: of D Hop's career. Go look at the numbers side

1191
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: by side. CD has been better and I think you

1192
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 2: could kind of see that now. I don't know if

1193
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: I think d hops on the back end. All three

1194
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: of these guys are on the back end of their career. Digs,

1195
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: the Hop, and Cooks, and I'm split even thinking about it,

1196
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 2: because I think each of them brings something different to

1197
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: the offense. And I think the Chat. I'm looking at

1198
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 2: it too. Everybody's having a debate on this too, because

1199
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: I think it's it's different with D Hop. You're going

1200
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: to have a little bit of separation, but you're not

1201
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 2: going to have the the durability with digs. You might

1202
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: have the separation, you might have the durability, but you've

1203
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: got some questions in terms of uh, the recent red

1204
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: flags in terms of health, and then what how would

1205
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: he mesh with your team and be a wide receiver too?

1206
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 2: And with Cooks, it's we've seen.

1207
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 9: It, it's utilization.

1208
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: What are you going to do with it? And so

1209
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 2: I think it's all of those. If we're talking six

1210
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 2: million across the board, for all three of all guys,

1211
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: I would probably pick Bee Cooks as and I'm not

1212
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: saying I like it. I would get Be Cooks and

1213
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: then I would spend a high pick on a on

1214
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: a first round or a second round wide receiver, and

1215
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 2: that would be my future. I'm with you, but I

1216
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: would I would go get with you. I would go

1217
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 2: get I'm leaning.

1218
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 9: I'm leaning towards the hop.

1219
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't see when you look at the film, it

1220
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 2: is we got to go. Yeah we do. We got

1221
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: a draft show coming up after this.

1222
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 8: Rough of towns for Cooks, but because of it is ulization.

1223
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 2: It is Thank you for watching, thank you for tuning in.

1224
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: We'll be back next week to continue talking about it.

1225
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: We'll see if any of these guys or even a possibility,

1226
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: or we're going straight into the draft and maybe the

1227
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys in four minutes, maybe they should trade up and

1228
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: go into to get Travis Hunter territory so that way

1229
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: they can fill two roles at one time. That's the

1230
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 2: debate we need to have at some point down the line.

1231
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: But not really all right for Patrick No s Walker,

1232
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 2: for Josh Roderiguez, Chris beaming, the back of Kyle Yellmans.

1233
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 2: We'll see you next time with more Talking Cowboys.

1234
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and

1235
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
