So with y'all's first initial initial 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:41.200 thoughts on the possibility of this opportunity for the Cowboys 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.920 to bring in someone that has experience, obviously, I'll start 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:45.360 with Christy. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.280 It makes me feel ancient because I remember when we 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.600 drafted his dad in the first year I was. I 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.560 was in my second year covering. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:53.840 The ninety two. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.920 Yeah, nineteen ninety two. We had two first round picks 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.480 that year, Kevin Smith, the cornerback from A and M. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.600 Sow Kevin last week and Kevin thanks for tuning in 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.400 and watching the show at times. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.200 So hid to Kevin. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.160 And then the other pick was Robert Jones and played 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.160 middle linebacker for the Cowboys very fine career. He was 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.919 here four years, around three Super Bowls and four years 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.840 and a very underrated member of that team. So when 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.600 you say Zay, I think of his dad, But no, 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.680 I think that we don't know, like any numbers that 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.880 they're talking and the like, But could be. I think 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.440 it would be a very attractive addition free agent. And 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.960 I just remember two years ago three touchdowns against the 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.640 Cowboys when. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.720 We were there in Jacksonville, So you. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.280 Remember, Yes, it was a very positive impression that remains 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:45.840 in my mind. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.920 Wow for me, I think if you can get a 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.120 veteran guy that comes in, because really your wide receiver 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.280 three spot is a little murky now without MG and 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.320 it's up for competition, and it's not a bad idea 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.200 to bring somebody in with experience that has playoff experience. Specifically, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.000 the only thing that really worries me is he's coming 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.000 off of a knee injury from last season. So of course, 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.280 you know the faith we have in the medical staff 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.760 here with the Cowboys, and you know, if they do 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.440 decide to go this way, they're gonna have to clear 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.639 him and do all of that. But I will say, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.560 I think if you can get a veteran guy in 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.560 here to take that wide receiver three spot or at 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.040 least try to compete for it, it does make your 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.760 younger guys, say a Cavante Turpin, a Jalen Brooks kind 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.040 of step up and step into that role to Jalen 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.880 Tolbert exactly to come in and compete and really have 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.680 to show their best come training camp to take that 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.880 wide receiver three spot. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.000 Yeah, I mean this this season is I don't know 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.400 how you guys feel about this season. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.720 I mean after the draft and stuff, I said to myself, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.040 they don't be good anything like Jesus. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:58.040 But yeah, the Jaguars took Brian Thomas junior wide receiver. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.760 Out of where were you? And why am I getting 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:02.800 so quickly like that? 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.120 Anyway, they drafted him, and I think that plays a 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.520 role in at an LSU, and I think that plays 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.040 a role in why they decided. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.720 To let go Zay. You mentioned the knee injury, but. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.840 Also too they picked up Gabe Davis last year from 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.200 the Bills, and a lot of what they do is 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.160 the same. I mean when you talk about the loss 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.680 of Michael Gallup, you think about the deep threat, you 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.080 think about some of the route running. I think that 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.560 I think that Za is a little bit more refined 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.599 in his route running, just a tad bit more, but 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.520 still able to work the boundary, still able to be 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.880 a deep threat and kept making big catches along the 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.040 sideline as something. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.400 That they can do very well. The Jags are in 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.400 a I don't know what they're going on, to be honest. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.960 But yeah, it's it makes sense that they would let 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.720 him go after getting Brian Thomas Junior. I mean, if 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.240 I'm not mistaken, he still has a meeting with the. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.880 Chiefs say, yeah, so. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.960 I don't like that they didn't get something done, but 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.800 you know what, we'll just see you and see how 0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.479 it plays out. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.040 And if we're just going to roll with the young guys, I. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.120 Guess, and it might not be up to him or 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.039 up to the Cowboys that something didn't get done. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:06.680 Yeah, he might. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:13.200 Around if the reigning Super Bowl champions asked you to 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.039 go do a workout or go check it out. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.279 It up either because they have a obviously they have 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.840 a good culture there as well, so it's like, yeah, I. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.480 Mean I can be a part of something good. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.680 And the Chiefs are also to I think they might 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.880 have drafted to receive it, but they obviously yeah they so. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.719 But they also are in a place too with some 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.400 of the things going on over a sheet Rise and 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.840 some of like that. They might be looking to kind 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.000 of replace that type of presence on the field their 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:38.679 way as well. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.000 Yeah, I think there's gonna be could be some really 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.960 interesting maneuvering at the wide position wide receiver position overall, 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.919 for the Cowboys because we're thinking, oh, we need to 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.640 add somebody, and you know, how to replace Michael Gallup? 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.240 Do you count on the younger guys moving up? So 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.720 I think we see that position is okay, we need 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.560 to add to that. But y'all know that I always 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.440 kind of go back to the numbers and the finances 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.040 because there's a budget that you have to work within, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.159 and your personnel your limited. Well, no, it's just the 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.680 reality of what you have to work with and you 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.760 can't just oh, you know, be like Bill Parcells. There's 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.960 not a one eight hundred dollars quarterback and you bring 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.440 in whoever you want. You have to work within parameters, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.000 and so I think that a lot of people would 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.760 be surprised. I was surprised to learn that when it 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.920 comes to position spending the Dallas Cowboys. How what is 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.000 right now on the salary cap for wide receiver position? 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.679 Would you like to guess where it ranks in the NFL? 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.280 I mean we're looking to add. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:46.200 It's probably low, right because they I mean, besides Brandon Cooks, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.000 cities on. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.559 The books were just under eighteen million. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.760 It is third highest. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.200 It is the third. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.640 Highest in the NFL. It's over fifty million dollars. So 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.160 because Cooks is ten million CD. That's that's why when 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.880 I say there's going to be some more maneuvering within this, 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.880 you know Michael Gallup thirteen point eight million, you know 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.120 with him, doesn't that so? Well, that's what it's saying. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.440 Things are going to change as you move along here. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.640 But but when you're saying, well, we'll get Zay Jones, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.960 you know, at a at a good rate, and yeah, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:18.640 but I think he was going. 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:19.800 To change ten million. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.120 Yeah, it's ten million of the Jacksonville salary. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:24.760 Is it going to take a pay? 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.240 Well, that's the thing though, it's bringing him on. You're 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.200 already at this amount. So that's why some people say, oh, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.920 this guy is shopping around and and this isn't bargain basement, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.360 but think about these parameters. And I was just really 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.200 surprised to see that. And that's why I think we 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.480 always go back to Dak Prescott getting his contract done. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.920 But the CDE lamb, if you can get that extension 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:57.080 before this season, then before the regular season gets going, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.560 then that eighteen million dollars, it's seventeen point nine. But 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.680 I'm going to round it eighteen million dollars. You get 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.920 him that big guarantee and the big bonus that cuts 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.680 the base salary, and so you know, can lessen that 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.000 cap hit for this season. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.120 But I just wonder what the Cowboys will or how 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.880 they'll kind of maneuver that, because it goes along in 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.640 releasing Martavis Bryant yesterday as well. So it's kind of like, 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.640 are they really doing what they need to do to 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:25.920 kind of make that happen. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.760 I don't know, yeah, yeah, And so you know, Marteves 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.400 was a minimum well, and I don't believe I'm not 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.599 sure that his was one of the top fifty one. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.480 In the off season. When you have ninety players, not 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.120 all ninety count against the salary cap. That would be impossible, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.520 and so in the off season they count the top 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.040 fifty one. And so but once the season gets going 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.800 and you've had your roster reductions, then but you do 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.160 have to account for practice squad players. So that two 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.200 hundred and forty thousand dollars a year roughly, let's just 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.480 say quarter million dollars a year for a practice squad 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.480 player that has to be budgeted in right, and then 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.280 you also have to leave some wiggle room because you 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.760 know you're gonna have some injuries and those guys still 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.480 get paid and you're gonna have to bring some guys 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.520 on or leave some wiggle rooms so you can make 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.000 some trades. But yeah, that when I when I saw 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.240 that that so much is is committed to wide Receiver, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.240 I thought, man, that's even more impetus to get CD 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.880 done because that's a lot to a position. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:29.960 Well, do you think they will bring them in? If 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.400 they didn't, maybe think they would be listen. 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.000 I mean they I understand what you're saying is valid, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.560 but they spent like a couple of quarters in free agency, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.319 like you ain't gotfly. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.040 You can definitely afford him, right, But when I say, 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.280 I think that it's overall maneuvering, not just so I 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.960 understand that in terms of you know, getting the thing 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.280 done with UH, with CD, they need to tell her. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.000 They need to hurt that part. That part. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.839 If you're listening to us, now, make sure to give 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.800 us a call at one eight eight eight eight five 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.640 five two two nine seven. We're taking questions. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:02.200 Calls. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.240 You name it, we got it UH A one A 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.760 A A FI five two two nine seven one eight 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.920 eight eighty five two two nine seven. I have to 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.319 met go ahead, refeat that three times. 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.600 Get your QBC self out of here. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:17.800 Y'all are sick. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:18.520 Nilo's sick. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.480 Uh No, but this this move possible move with bringing 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.280 in Zay Jones here for the cowboys? Who does that 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.880 kind of ruffle the feathers for report? Put on kind 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.320 of an alert when you're talking about the death within 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.640 this running back room, you've got a wide receiver room. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.160 You've got like Jalen Tober, like you mentioned Cavante Turpin, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.800 does this kind of uh make them a little concerned 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:41.360 or who? 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.320 I would say Jalen Tobert more than anybody is just. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.600 But but the thing is and and this is the 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.560 thing about Jalen Tobert that I realized last year. DAK 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.600 and CD were so good. Yeah, And I think when 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.360 you go watch the film and you watch, like when 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.320 you watch these plays develop. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.640 Jalen is open. He's hoping a lot on film. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.000 But it's hard to justify coming off of your one 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.280 when you're one is open. I mean, CD had a 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:13.400 phenomenal year, So I think it's difficult to justify just 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.200 going through all of your reads in that way when 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.920 you see the open man and then we talked about 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:18.480 the West coast. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.520 What is the West Coast? It's who's open right now. 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.640 And so I think that Jalen Tobert suffered a little 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.280 bit because of that, because when you look at his development. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:29.480 He was reliable last year. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.920 He had some key catches and big moments where you 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.880 needed him, and even Jalen Brooks they used him towards. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.200 The end of the year when you needed a guy. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.920 So I'm like with Jalen Tobert, I don't think his 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.920 development has been stifled or anything. I think that he's 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.440 becoming kind of what we thought he would be. But 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.240 bringing in this veteran to me is more so for me. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.280 I think it's more so addressing the Michael Gallup loss. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.400 But then also too with Cavant Turpin. I believe Cavante 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.560 Turpin is gonna have opportunities to return this year, and 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.880 they might want him to focus more so on that 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.480 at this point and let him allow him to be 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.160 involved in that. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.160 I think you, Douce Fine will be involved in that 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:09.640 more so. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.960 That's that might be part of the reason as well 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.280 is and and and also to shoot you you might 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:17.920 just need to if you can't stop the run, you 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.880 might just need to pass the ball, But then I 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.520 think they were an aerial attack last year. I think 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.319 they want to get back to running the ball, but 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.080 I think they kind of want to balance it. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.640 So for me, I think it would be a good move. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.480 And but to your answer your question, I think it 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.960 puts more pressure on Jaalen Toba for competition doing anything. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.080 We got we caller. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.480 We actually have two callers. We're gonna take Mike first 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.679 out of California. Mike, what do you got for us? 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.880 What's going on? 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:44.360 Ladies? 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:50.520 Good morning? And uhm hey, miss As. I would like 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.760 to just give you a huge shoutout. Man, I love 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.959 the work you guys do with that draft show as 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.880 well as the rest of you ladies. Shout out to 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.600 all you all you ladies, but you guys do a 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.040 great job. But I really enjoy that draft coverage. But 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:03.880 I just want to say, I don't know if this 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.320 Zay Jone thinks how it's gonna go whatever, but I 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.360 just kind of feel like he's a progress stopper to 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.040 Jalen Tobert, Like I had called a few weeks ago, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.280 and I told you guys that they need to stop 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.600 playing games with the ceedee Lamb contract. You know that 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.480 he could be the best eighty eight, you know what 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.120 I mean, And I stand by that. You know, they 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.840 I hope they can get it done. And I just 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.040 want to say that despite the lack of you know, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.480 moves in free agency and all, I'm really excited about 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.280 the depth of this team. And I don't think a 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.560 lot of people realize that all these years of drafting 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.440 well and everything, I think that that our depth is 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.280 great and I'm excited to see all this young talent 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.480 that that's up and coming, and a lot of people 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.839 aren't aware of, you know yet, but I think that 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.080 they're gonna show up and show out. And I think 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.720 regardless of all the free agency lack of free agency moves, 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.960 I still think that we're a ten win team. But 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.960 I'll just leave it at that. I'll hang up there 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.920 and once again thank you for having me on. God 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.120 bless you all, and shout out to the whole Cowboys Nation. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.920 Let's go. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.480 So that's it. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.240 I want to be as awake as Mike Energy in. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.839 That season California. It's two hours. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:09.960 I know, look at you. 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.920 What do you think of Zay possibly being a progress 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.640 stopper for gentlemen or other young Here's here's. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.840 What I was gonna say too, because I think something 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.120 that ties into this a lot is the development of 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.240 the tight ends because they were not as part of 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.640 the aerial attack as they should have been. Jake Ferguson aside, Yes, 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.240 you know that's your tight end one. But Mike McCarthy's 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.200 a tight end kind of guy. He's the kind of coach, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.640 uh kind of play caller that's gonna want to get 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.400 those tight ends more involved in the receiving game as well. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.080 So I don't necessarily think it stops progress from a 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.880 guy like Jalen Tolbert, but I do think there's enough 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.560 of the and Cowboys nation's gonna hate this analogy, but 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.960 the pie to go around when it comes to the 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.080 passing game, because you're not even just talking about your 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.440 wide receiver group, your tight end group needs to get 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.240 more involved in that as well. And I think that's 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.000 something that severely lacked last season was getting those tight 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.600 ends involved in the screen game, the passing game, and 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.680 I think the development of them also will will kind 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.760 of impact any opportunity. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:13.520 For the. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.320 Whoa Hello, any opportunity for the wide receivers as well, 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:19.840 there you go. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.920 I love that. I think in a way it does 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.200 kind of stop the progress of Jalen, but it also 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.760 doesn't because at the end of the day, like you're 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.040 gonna get it if you want to get it, if 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.600 you want to improve, you want to improve, right, I 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.640 think that he's been doing what he needs to do 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.200 this offseason because he's mentioned it, right, even training with 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.160 Brandon Cooks this offseason. He's been doing what he needs 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.640 to do in order to improve and take this next 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.800 jump this year because he knows what's at stake. So 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.880 I don't think it necessarily stops the progress. I think 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.040 that it'll just add the competition level or enhance the 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.400 competition level. I don't think it'll stop his. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.720 Progress, though I wonder if it plays a role also too. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.560 It's like, again, you have a lot of coaches on 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.080 this staff that are here for a year, and you 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.320 might want somebody that is a little more experienced, a 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.040 little bit more you know. But also too, we've seen 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.760 this season, like just like we talk about throughout you know, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.320 the defensive line and offensive line in depth and stuff 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.520 like that, Injuries happened, things happened, Nicks, Nix and bruses happen, 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.280 and this is a seventeen game season. You're also just 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.080 making sure there's depth on the team. So I think 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.520 that he mentioned the depth on the team in general. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.880 So I'm excited. I mean, I do. I do agree 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:27.640 with him that. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.640 There are areas that there's more depth than with I 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.040 thin get we were thinking at first. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.320 I do want to say real quick to your point, Nicole, 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.240 about Jalen Tolbert. You know, whether he wants to or not, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.200 I will give Jalen Tolbert the credit that he deserves 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:47.800 and being a student and just absolutely diving into learning 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.520 and trying to be better from his first year to play. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.440 So it's just if you want a football IQ, Jalen 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.240 Tolbert's your guy. I mean, And unfortunately, I don't think 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.320 you've gotten to see that a lot, but I do 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.280 expect it. He's not He's gonna he's not gonna shy 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.680 away from the challenge, no matter who's who he's going against. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.040 We've got another caller. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.760 We have Robert out of Rio Grindez Vallet Valley, who 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:10.639 today is today? 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:15.040 Hi Robert, Robert, are you it's Bob?
