We'll do that we have. I think we've 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: got four or five positions still left to do there. 18 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: But before we get into that, we're gonna talk about 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: the schedule. Tonight. The Cowboys will get there or we'll 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: release their official twenty twenty one schedule.

So before I guess get deep into our 31 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: draft talk, let's talk about what we know about the 32 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: schedule at this point. This morning, we release the fact 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys will be open the season. They will 34 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: be actually opening the entire NFL season Thursday night, that'll 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: be September ninth, against the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 36 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: And Dave, you told me before we can't win on 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: the air that You're like, we could take a whole 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: segment to talk about that because that's a juicy matchup, 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: So go, if we wanted to, we could. We don't 40 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: have to, but I mean, it's funny. There aren't many 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: things I hate more than the way the NFL handles 42 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: the schedule release. I just think it's overdone and needless 43 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: and just give me a PDF with the games. I don't. 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it because they want to dominate 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: the news cycle and make money, but I hate it. 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Having said that, all the fun, well, all of that, 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: like literally all of that went out the window when 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: I heard it was Cowboys Bucks to open this, because 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: this it's amazing. It's the best season opener that I've 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: been a part of in my time covering. And even 51 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, they try to get a juicy game for this, 52 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: but it's hard to top this. I mean, the Super 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Bowl champs, who didn't lose a starter, the best quarterback 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: ever Dak Prescott in his first game back from his 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: injury and his contract. Offensive line is going to be 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: back healthy. Oh by the way, the new defense, No, 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm not putting that juju out in the air. They'll 58 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: be back and against that pass rush, they need to 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: be back. Dan Quinn came from the NFC South, so 60 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: he's got a lot of familiarity with the Bucks and 61 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: some with Tom Brady. There's just storylines all over the place, 62 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: and I mean, if it doesn't shatter some sort of 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: record for viewers, I'll be shocked. And what were your 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: thoughts when you heard this was going to be the opener? 65 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: What a great start? I mean, this can either go 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: really well or really really bad. And you know, it's 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: like one of those where you know, you don't have 68 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: enough time to kind of warm up, you know, the 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: first few games of the season. Can I get a 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: good feel of what the team is like, It's like, no, 71 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: here it is, here's your first name. Let's see. Let's 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: see if you can survive, if your defense can survive. 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: And that's my biggest, uh the thing I'm looking forward 74 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: the most is just kind of seeing what this defense 75 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: becomes and what they can do in that first game. Nick, 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's it's a great matchup, you know, 77 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: and I think it's just funny. And I've seen some tweets, 78 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: I know, like Rob Phillips tweeted it out. Remember when 79 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: everyone was making a big deal about, oh, the Cowboys 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: got flexed out of a game, that's because they were bad. 81 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean they were bad. They were bad. It wasn't 82 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: because of the stars, because their team was was bad. 83 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: The team they were playing was was bad too. But um, 84 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: now they still have draw and Tampa didn't have a 85 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: lot of games on the schedule that you could say, 86 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, I know the Bills fans think that that 87 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: they should have been in here. But it's a great matchup. 88 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: We've seen it before. Um it's been what eight nine 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: years ago we saw it and it was a Wednesday 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: night game actually, but the Cowboys beat the Giants that 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: that game, and so, um, it'll be fun. But like 92 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: like they said, it'll be a great matchup because they 93 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: don't lose anyone. Tampa gets all twenty two guys back, 94 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: They have a great coach, they have the best quarterback 95 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: of all time, and they figured it out last year. 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: They were they were dominating, but I mean they got 97 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: better and better as the sea and went on. So 98 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if they continue that success. You know, 99 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: and their team hasn't changed much, right, I got everybody, 100 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: They brought back pretty much everything that is so rare 101 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: in today's I don't think it's happened in the salary 102 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: cap era. No, And it's and it all, you know, 103 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: it's it starts with having a great quarterback that people 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: want to play with. You want to play with this guy, 105 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: those all of those guys could make more money, Brady included, 106 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: could make more money, but they choose not to. And 107 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: that is what's really rare, is that they're they're they're 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: trying to win a championship and so that's dangerous. And 109 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: then you put a coach on top of that that 110 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: kind of he gets it. He does here. They're they're 111 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: the favorites again because they haven't lost anything. And I love, like, 112 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: I hope Bills fans are mad because they can be 113 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: mad all they want and they'll still be wrong. Like 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: they're a better team than the Cowboys, doesn't matter, and 115 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: that's that's the video. And yeah, I guess what, NFL 116 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: they were a six and ten team, and there's the 117 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: records are going to be absurd because they'll be they'll 118 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: be healthy, their star power will be back. They have 119 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: a very good chance to win their division, maybe more 120 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: so because their division is bad, but whatever, Nobody cares 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: about that. Patriots won a bad division for fifteen years 122 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: and it's it's just I love it. I you know, 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: just as many people like people are going to tune 124 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: in because they love the Cowboys, and people are going 125 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: to tune in because they want to dunk on the 126 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys and that's just the nature of the Beasts. So 127 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady is equally polarized. Oh for yeah, it's 128 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: it is. It's like the two, like the franchise and 129 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: the player that are most beloved and most behaved, most behaated. 130 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: That's a hard I like that at the same time, Yeah, 131 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: like so many people love Tom Brady and just as 132 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: many want to see him fail, and the same thing 133 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: goes for the Cowboys, and it's just a match made 134 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: in heaven. Well, and I know that the rules are 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: changing so much about um, you know lately on the TVs, 136 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, rights on who gets what game. But I'm 137 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: sure CBS played a big factor into this as well, 138 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: because they don't want now they only get Tom Brady 139 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: two times, um with with CBS game when the when 140 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: the Bucks are playing at an AFC team, so I'm sorry, 141 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: hosting an AFC team, so they they probably didn't want 142 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: NBC to take one of them, you know, um when 143 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys though, I mean the Cowboy that game was 144 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: either gonna be on Fox or NBC. So yeah, I mean, 145 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: you guys have thrown out a lot of the different 146 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: storylines that are in this game. What do you think 147 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: is the juiciest If you have to identify one that 148 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: you think is the best storyline going into this game, 149 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: there's only one, right, is there? What do you think 150 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: it is? Jack versus Brady? Um? Is it not? There's lots, 151 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: they just rolled them all out. There's like twenty. I 152 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: think that's a ton of story. I think Dad coming 153 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: back and you know, like they the Cowboys committed to 154 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: him and said, all right, here, you're the guy, and 155 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know, we saw what this team was 156 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: without him and they need him. And then you know, 157 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: Brady playing until he's sixty. I mean, like just the 158 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: two of them together, I think I think that's the 159 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: appealing matchup. But yeah, you're right, I mean there's more. 160 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: You guys could probably come up with five and more. Well, 161 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: I just it's a different iteration of the same thing. 162 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not really Dak versus Brady. That's 163 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: not what it is. And that the biggest thing for 164 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: me is the three most important players to what to 165 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys being successful, Dak Prescott, Tyron Smith, Lyle Collins 166 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: coming back and playing the strength of this Bucks team 167 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady's great, he's not he I mean, he didn't. 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: That's that's not why they won the Super Bowl. They 169 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl because of this ferocious defense, jpp In, 170 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: domickinsue Vita Vea. They spent a first round pick on 171 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: a pass rusher, Devin White and um Lavante David the 172 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: list goes on and on and just getting dropped into 173 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: that on in front of the whole world on Night one, like, oh, 174 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: welcome back, congrats on all the money, go beat the best, 175 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: do it now, and if you don't, everybody's gonna be pissed. 176 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: That's that's just fascinating to me, which I mean Tom 177 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Brady is a part of that, but that's what I 178 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: want to see. Yeah, Well, for me, I think it's 179 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: so hard to get a full idea because again we're 180 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: trying to get a good grasp of this coaching staff 181 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: and what they can do and what right now. You know, 182 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: we can talk about, oh, Dak versus Brady or whatever. No, 183 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: it's Cowboys versus basically Brady. How I see it, because 184 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: we've seen it in the past, even with Tyran and 185 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Nail in there, the line working well, Dak healthy and 186 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: throwing the ball, well, there are times that they still 187 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: get beat. They start games slow and it takes them 188 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: at a while, and then the defense is not pulling 189 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: their weight. So again, it's just it's gonna take more 190 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: than just Dak and those two guys on the line 191 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: for them to be able to have a successful game. 192 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: We definitely need to see so much improvement from the 193 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball because the offense is gonna 194 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: need all the help they can get, especially in a 195 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: game like that. So it's just so many different elements 196 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: that just need to come together, other than just hope 197 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: that Dak is healthy. He's able to throw the ball, 198 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: maybe Zeke is able to run the ball very well 199 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: with the O line healthy in there. So it's just 200 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: it's very very hard to just put every single piece 201 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: together and really have a visual that they can make 202 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: it happen in the first game of the season, especially 203 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: when history has shown that, I mean, at least from 204 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: my experience. Sometimes it just takes them a while, especially 205 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: after last year. You know, it took them a while 206 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: to kind of get things moving compared from the beginning 207 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: of the season towards the end of the season despite 208 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: Dak not being available. But it's just there's so many 209 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: different elements in there, so it's gonna be it's gonna 210 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: be fun to watch for sure, But I'm scared. I'm 211 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: gonna say it. I am scared. I'll say this. I 212 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: actually think this game is I think it will be 213 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: build after it's done. It will be build as somewhat 214 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: of a referendum on who the Cowboys are, because I 215 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: think there are people that are giving the Cowboys at 216 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: least some leeway that last year was an aberration based 217 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: upon the fact that DAC went down so early in 218 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: the season, based upon the fact they didn't have the 219 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: tackles the vast majority of the season, and so we 220 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: really didn't get to see this new offense with you know, 221 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and his staff coming in, and with you know, 222 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: the addition of CD Lamb. There were all these things 223 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: everybody was excited about. Dave. You guys started it before 224 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the draft last year talking about Team forty Burger, and 225 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody was expecting to see that. And then 226 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: you get into the season and you don't have some 227 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: of the key elements. If you have those key elements 228 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: this year, and you open this game against the Super 229 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: Bowl defending champs. If you win that, I think there 230 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: will be a lot of people saying, this is the 231 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys that should have been here last year. We 232 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: just didn't get to see them because the players weren't there. 233 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: If they lose, I think there will be a lot 234 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: of people that will be saying, Dallas Cowboys are still 235 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: just the Dallas Cowboys. So I don't necessarily I'm not 236 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: buying the idea that losing those players that much of 237 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: a difference. And by the way, that's just people and 238 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: that's just the media, and that's just how it will 239 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: be built. But I actually think that will be the 240 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: conversation as of Monday following or Friday following that game. 241 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: I think that's as fair as it could ever be, though. 242 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and one game never makes a season, 243 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: especially out the season opener. I get that, But this 244 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: is the team that just won the Super Bowl. This 245 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: is the team. It's all twenty two of them. If 246 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: you can beat them probably means that you're capable. I mean, 247 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: you're capable of beating anybody. If you can beat the 248 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: reigning champs that didn't lose anyone, and if you don't 249 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: beat them, then you're probably not ready for prime time 250 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't get there over the course of 251 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: the season. But you know, it reminds me of twenty nineteen. 252 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: They just they beat up on all those bad teams 253 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: to open the season, and everybody was like, big deal. 254 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: It was Miami, New York and Washington like this is 255 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: nothing like show me something. Well, we're gonna see something 256 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: real quick this year, and that's really exciting. Yeah. I'm 257 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: not there to say that, oh, whatever happened. I mean, 258 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: if they if they beat the Bucks, obviously you're gonna 259 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: put them in a better you know category. But they lose, 260 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what that tells you. I mean, how 261 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: do they lose? What's the game? You know. I'm not 262 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: going to sit here and have another argument with Nate 263 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Newton about moral victories and stuff like that. But I mean, 264 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I as I always say, and I don't know what 265 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: the schedule looks like, but I always say Week two 266 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: is my big indicator. Week two is the game that 267 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: I try to figure out what they're going to be. 268 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: Are you going to be a team that can come 269 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: back off a great win, you know, and and and capitalize, 270 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: or are you going to be a team that gets 271 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: buried now that you're owing one and now you're owing two, 272 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: so I always look at that second game. I don't 273 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: know what it is though. Yeah, we will unveil that 274 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: at six forty five, Dave stopped laughing. I don't we will. 275 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't know either. We will unveil that tonight at 276 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm not the only person in this room that knows 277 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: what the scheduling you guys, I mean I can piece 278 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: it together from my Twitter film three, eight, nine, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen, 279 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: and eighteen. You think you know? Yeah? People, no, thank you. People. 280 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: People are like somebody, somebody last night was like, come on, Dave, 281 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: you're you're on the inside. Tell us. I was like, 282 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: first of all, lol that you think I'm that important? 283 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: And two I would get fired with a quickness if 284 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: I did that, Like come on, usually brain everybody in 285 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: this building that knows, yeah, they've been threatened as far 286 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: as their job and their life, so you know it's 287 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: not really worth there. Haven't really been trying to get it. 288 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't. You almost don't want it. You don't even 289 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: want to be in on that list. Okay, So here 290 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: the deal with what we do know, and we've been 291 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: knowing this for a while, we know the Cowboys opponents, 292 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: we know which ones are gonna have at home, we 293 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: know which ones are gonna have on the road. I'm 294 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: gonna run down some team names for you because honestly, 295 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: it's really the road games that I think are where 296 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys challenges are. You look at their home schedule. 297 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: Obviously they got the Division, but then they got Carolina, Denver, Atlanta, Arizona, 298 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: and Las Vegas. None of those teams are really scary 299 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: like some of them, as you know. You can look 300 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: at the at the Chargers, and you can look at 301 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the Raiders and those teams they can get. You know, 302 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: they have some pieces, right, But it's the road teams 303 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: that I think the Cowboys are really gonna have to 304 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: contend with. You got the three division teams, and then 305 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: you got Tampa Bay, you got New Orleans, you got 306 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: New England, got Kansas City, you got the Chargers, and 307 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: you got Minnesota. All those teams on the road. Which 308 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: of those games do you think is going to be 309 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: the most interesting matchup for you? As far as how 310 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: you look at it. I mean, it's so unoriginal and boring, 311 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: but I mean, how could it not be the Chiefs obviously. 312 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean they're playing both of the Super Bowl team 313 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: teams this year, and maybe I'm stupid, I would pick 314 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs to beat the Bucks all over again. Like 315 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: I think that was way more they played out. If 316 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: they played ten games, I think they'd win eight out 317 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: ten of them. I think if their offensive line is healthy. 318 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they were so compromised in that game. Yeah, 319 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean I think, and by the way, just completely 320 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: did a master class on how quickly you can turn 321 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: your roster over if you know what you're doing. Because 322 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: their offensive line looks terrifying, like in a good way, 323 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: and they just rebuilt it forty five minutes. Just unbelievable. 324 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, they're the team to beat in 325 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: the entire league as far as I'm concerned. And it's 326 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: the first time DAK will ever play Mahomes, so that's 327 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: where it starts for me. Amber This is a tough 328 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: I can't answer this question because I feel like each 329 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: of those games is interesting in their own way, and 330 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: right now I'm having to base it on a matchup 331 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: against a team that and I hate to say it 332 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: because this is my job and we work here, but 333 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: I just I really have no idea what the Cowboys 334 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: are gonna look like at the beginning of the season. 335 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if any of you guys do. 336 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: We think, we know, we think what we can expect. 337 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: There are some things we can expect and hope to happen, 338 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: but none of that is for sure or certain. So 339 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's very, very hard. But all of those matches, 340 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you say, we just talked about Tampa. Obviously 341 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna be really fun and interesting. New England that 342 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: with the changes they've done in the off season and 343 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: free agency and all that, I'm very curious to see 344 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: just how that team is gonna look like and perform. 345 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: Then you got the Chiefs for obvious reasons. Just like 346 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: Dave says, everyone, I feel like everyone wants to see 347 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs playing just because of my homes and how 348 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: they've been doing this past two years. But then New Orleans, 349 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: we always talk about that stadium and that the energy, 350 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: just the energy in that stadium is very chaotic and 351 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: energetic and everything, so it's exciting. I really, I don't know. 352 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: I'll be watching all of them for sure, so I 353 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: can't choose one of them. I think they are all 354 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: very interesting. Minnesota, Minnesota, that's the that's the game, that's 355 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: the game that's most interesting you. Yeah, well, I wasn't 356 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: going to go down the list like and everyone. They're 357 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: all tough, they're all look scary in their own way. 358 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: But I'll go with Minnesota because if they get back 359 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: to if it gets back to you know, the crowd 360 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: they beat Minnesota last year, when you could hear a 361 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: pin drop in there, it was it was weird. And 362 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that'll be the case this year. I 363 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: don't think they need a lot of people in Minnesota 364 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: to make that place loud. Uh. They're the team that 365 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: seems to be the most similar to the Cowboys as 366 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: far as record and where they are. And that's an 367 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: NFC up and down, up and down. You know that 368 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: they're going to be tough. That's a game that I 369 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: think that's one of those swing games where you're like, 370 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: if you can go win that, that might help you 371 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: in a tiebreaker down the road or something like that. 372 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: Also maybe tell you kind of where you are, you 373 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: a little bit better than somebody, because we know the 374 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: Division games are tough and all those other games that 375 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: y'all mentioned, I mean they got great coaches or great 376 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: quarterbacks or both, like Kansas City. So I just I 377 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: just picked Minnesota. I mean, they're all gonna be tough. 378 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. The two that are most interesting 379 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: to me are New England and New Orleans, mainly because 380 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: these are two teams that you ask that you see 381 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: them on your schedule two years ago, and you're immediately 382 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: like likelihood you gotta win there. Ain't that good, especially 383 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: if you're having to go to their place to play 384 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: those games. Now, you don't really know what either of 385 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: those teams are like last year, the Patriots, for the 386 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: first time in a long time, weren't very good. Now, 387 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: of course, they had eight guys that opted out, so 388 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: that took it right off. They lost their quarterback that 389 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: they'd had forever, and and so there were a lot 390 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: of there were a lot of changes. But as you 391 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: talked about earlier of coaches, like they got one of 392 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: the best, if not the best. So you give him 393 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: two years, maybe he figures it out. New Orleans for 394 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: the first time, and who knows how long we will 395 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: not see Drew Brees run out of the fifteen years. Yeah, 396 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: so it like that matters, right, And and I don't know, 397 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: is it gonna be Jamis Winston or who knows it's 398 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: gonna be there their starting quarterback by the time the 399 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys get to them. But the point is those two teams, 400 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: to me, those are games I'm really interesting because I 401 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: don't know if you told me right now start picking 402 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: the schedule, even though that's a crapshoot with those two teams, 403 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: it's really a crapshoot because you just don't know who 404 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: they are. Didn't we go up there and or down 405 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: there whatever and they lost to Didn't Bridgewater start that game? Yeah? 406 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's Sean Payton is an unbelievable coach, 407 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: and he's got a great system and they've they figured 408 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: out and obviously they'll take a drop off without being 409 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: Drew you know, Drew Brees, but he'll have it figured out. 410 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's still again one to twenty two, you'd 411 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: have to say is still one of the best rosters 412 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the quarterback, the defense is by 413 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: itself really really quarterbacks a huge part of that though. 414 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: When that game, those two games, when they are and 415 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: the schedule is really important. I agree. I wish I 416 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: knew that but I think if it's if it's later on, 417 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: if it's later on, okay, is it later I'm not 418 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna tell you that because if it's week one or 419 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: two like that might be one thing. But if it's 420 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: down the road a little bit, I think I think, 421 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: you know Sean Payton that they'll have it kind of 422 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: figured out. And then also with New England, you know 423 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: we've seen weather can be a factor there with the 424 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: rain and wind. Just they lost a game. But you 425 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: know it'd be interesting is if you're mentioning earlier, you're 426 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: talking about week two and that what that's what matters 427 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: to you coming off a Tampa Bay game. It would 428 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: be interesting if you got one of those two teams 429 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: as a week two because then you really don't know, 430 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: like you could be in a situation if they're really good, 431 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: if they've been good as they've been traditionally, where you've 432 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: got those two matchups, it won't be or not. It 433 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: won't be because they already have because they're already going 434 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: on the road in week one. Surely they're not going 435 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: to put them on the road and one and two, Um, 436 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: even though it has happened before, you say we've done 437 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: that eleven. We went coast to coast Jets and forty 438 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: nine ers in week one and two. Um so who 439 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: knows that that screams giant it's at home week two, 440 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: doesn't it. We will see. I'm just see which And 441 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: we talked about dummy, we'll see tonight Central time, Nick, 442 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: Dave and Rob. They will let you guys know exactly 443 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: and I will tell them like fifteen minutes before where 444 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: they go on the air, I will tell them exactly 445 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: who's playing who and what dates and times and the 446 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: whole night at the end of the day, Like we 447 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: talked about this before the show, like in terms like 448 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: it's dumb. It's dumb because we did this last year, Like, 449 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna play so and so in November. Oh, 450 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: Dak's gone and so's the whole line? Cool? Then what 451 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: like what do we even waste our time for?

That's where my brain goes for Ye, my 459 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: cousin and lives in that city, and I bet we 460 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: can get tickets.

Okay, 518 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: Now it is the second segment of the Break Life 519 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: from the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Stars and we're 520 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: presented by Geico Um. So we started a conversation last 521 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: week about Draft um and we were talking about the 522 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: veteran of the rookies that were coming in, and I'd 523 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: mentioned that Stephen Jones was very adamant because he said 524 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: it a couple of times during during the post draft 525 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: press conference that they are very hopeful that that there 526 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: are more guys that they can bring in, young guys 527 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: that can bring in as draft picks, who can can 528 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: take some of the spots of some of the higher 529 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: price veterans or just veterans in general, because that that 530 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: is a way to manage your salary cap, and it's 531 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: an effective way to melt to to manage your salary cap. 532 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: And so we started going through the list and last 533 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: week we talked about the linebacker position, and we talked 534 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: about the cornerback position because we were talking about Michael 535 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: Parsons and Kelvin Joseph. The first two picks for the Cowboys. 536 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: But today I wanted to pick up that conversation at 537 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle spot. Ossie. I'm sorry Osa, oh dig 538 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: diggi zuwa? Is that right? Zaga? However you want to say, 539 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: oh diggi zoa? Um, he was a third pick, third 540 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: round pick from UCLA. UM. And so let's look at 541 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle position. Antoine Woods obviously was waived last week. 542 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: He has since signed with the Cults. I think it 543 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: is but the Cowboys have left Neville Gallimore, Tristan Hill, 544 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: two relatively young guys, UM and guys that the Cowboys 545 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: will be counting on quite a bit this year. Um. 546 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: And then you've got Justin Hamilton, Carlos Watkins or did 547 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: Watkins also get Wait, no, he's still here, He's still okay. 548 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: And then you've got um, uh the draft pick s 549 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: Quinton Bohannah and uh and then O Diggi zoa and 550 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: H Brent Urban. So talk to me about who the 551 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: veterans are that you think UH could possibly be at 552 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: risk here once we get to the season. Oh, Watkins 553 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have to make the team. I mean, I mean 554 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: that was kind of a placeholder thing. I mean, I 555 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: think that they obviously like him, but he didn't have 556 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: a great run there in Houston, so you know, I mean, 557 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure they will, they'll go with the younger guys 558 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: over him, and you know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't forget 559 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: about uh Gholst and Chauncey Gholst. And he plays some 560 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: of the inside as well, especially in third down a 561 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: pass rushing situation. So um, you know, I think it's 562 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of all there on the table um. Then figure 563 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: out how how they want to you know, put him 564 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: in there. But I mean Odigizo was gonna have a 565 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna have a role because he is that classic three 566 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: technique that he can he'll stop the run, and he 567 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: also has got some juice to get up the field. 568 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: I think the interesting which the two that come to 569 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: mine or Antoine who's already gone, and then Carlos Watkins 570 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: for sure, And I think if you're just following the money, 571 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: I think you could throw Brent Urban into that conversation 572 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: just purely because it's not a huge investment. But that's 573 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: one of those things. If you follow this long enough, 574 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: there's guys that are like, oh, we can cut him, 575 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: and then there's guys where They're like, no, he's are 576 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: starting one technique, Like why would we like, why would 577 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: we cut him? And I don't know that he will be, 578 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: but I just I wonder if, like their plan for 579 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: Brent Urban is bigger on the inside than it would 580 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: seem from the outside, if that makes sense, because if 581 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: you just look at the roster, there's only there's only 582 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: like two like true one technique type of dudes, and 583 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: it's Quentin Bohannah who just got here, and Brent Urban, 584 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: And like, I know Neville Gallimore could do it. I 585 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: thought Urban wasn't it. I gotta look at it. I 586 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: thought Urban was a defensive end he's played in before, 587 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: but he played Chicago at defensive tackle. Last run on 588 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: the run on the not like as a as a 589 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: as a run stuff. Yeah, I mean his his run 590 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: stopping grade for from PFF, which I know they're not everything, 591 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: but he was like top ten in the league in 592 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: run stopping rate. That's my point is like it's a 593 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: very specific role. He's not here to rush the pass 594 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: earth I'm looking at it. That's why I have a 595 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: hard time thinking of him as a one technique. I 596 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: don't think I've seen a one technique that tall. Quentin 597 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: Bohana is six four or six three, six four six 598 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: seven though, right, that's significantly different. I mean he can play, 599 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: he can play some end, and so I guess nobody 600 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: should be surprised where he winds up lining. But again, 601 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: if you're just doing the math, think about the ends 602 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: that are here. I mean, you got Tank, you got Randy, 603 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: you got Terrell Basham, you got Dorin's Armstrong. Now you're 604 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: adding Chauncey Golston. Like again, like you're trying to do 605 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: the math, figure out where how you're gonna get time. 606 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: I just think, if I had to guess today, I 607 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: think Urban's you're starting one technique where where I would 608 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: see that maybe playing out as I could see him being, You're, 609 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: I guess, for lack of a better way to put it, 610 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: your one technique when you've got a four man front 611 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: in passing downs. Yeah, I personally think on first second down, 612 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: I actually think Bohana is probably gonna end up making 613 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: this team and may end up being your starter, because 614 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: I just don't think they got anybody else like him. 615 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: I refuse to put a sixth round pick into the 616 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: starting lineup before he's done anything. I don't necessarily, I 617 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: don't think you're crazy, but I put those kind of 618 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: guys traditionally are going to go later in the draft though, right, Like, 619 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: sixth round is not the same as a sixth round 620 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver or a sixth round running I think maybe 621 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: he was special. If he was special, he'd be a 622 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: high pick. Yeah, And I wonder yeah, yeah, And I 623 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: wasn't Vince Wilfork a first round pick? Yeah, And I 624 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: think it what it comes down to special that's really 625 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: really it's your stamina at that at that size. It's 626 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: I think it's the difference is the guys that continue 627 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: to do it over and over and not just need 628 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: a break after every other play. I mean, I think 629 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: I think the really good ones are the ones that 630 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: can because the big, fat, sloppy guys like that, they're 631 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna clog the middle, But can they do it all 632 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: the time and also provide a little bit more pass 633 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: rush too? You know? So I think there's a reason 634 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: he fell to the sixth round. I mean, it's not 635 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: like he and I watched this tape. I mean, he 636 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: was killing Vanderbilt's line. I didn't really see him pushing Alabama. 637 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: You know, guys back, I didn't see that saying it 638 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: didn't happen the other I think an interesting point too, 639 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: And Quinn said this after the draft and base defense 640 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter anymore. But like when they're in base, 641 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: it's going to be more of a three four look, 642 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: which is who else plays nos well? Well. Also Brent 643 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: Urban could play some four or five technique type of 644 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: end as well, like he's got the size to do. 645 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: So that's the versatility all along here is really interesting. 646 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: And but just when I'm thinking about a four man line, 647 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: like I would rather Neville and Tristan be playing three technique, 648 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: Osa seems like more of a three technique. Plus you 649 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: would imagine he'll you know, I think he'll have a 650 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: role too, but it'll probably take him some time to 651 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: get adjusted. Neville didn't really do anything until halfway through 652 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: the season last year. So in my brain, I'm like, 653 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm if I could draw it up, I'm like Neville 654 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: and Tristan rotating at the three with Urban Bohana maybe 655 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: if Watkins makes the team throw him in there as well. 656 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: That's just my thought. So but I think in the base, 657 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: as you were saying, if it's if the three four 658 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: is the base. Then my assumption as bohanna's your nose, 659 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: because I don't know if they got another nose like that, 660 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: do they maybe urban? But yeah, I'm with you. I agree. 661 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stuff that they can do 662 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: with all these guys, and it's not ready to play. 663 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: That won't be the base, you know what I mean, 664 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: that won't be the base. It'll be your guys that 665 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: can stop the run. Because that's that is a position 666 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: that to me like not ready to play. Like is 667 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: it really that hard to be in at the nose 668 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: and say don't let them move you? I mean, there 669 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: are a lot of other positions where there's a lot 670 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: more complexity to it and getting ready for it and 671 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: getting strong enough for it. I don't think strength and 672 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: size is a problem for him. Okay, you're right about that. 673 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: But if that was the case, why was Mark Stepnoski 674 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: a really great like center. It wasn't because he's big. 675 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: It's because he knew the technique and knew how to 676 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: move people around, you know, And I think the same 677 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: could go on the flip side. Just because you're big, 678 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 1: I mean, they can move you. You know, you can 679 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: move anybody by by pushing them in the waist. I 680 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: mean that's a fact. That's a fact. Who's that big 681 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: nose type that Green Bay from years ago? Gilbert Brown, 682 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Gilbert Brown, j Rogie. Who's gonna move him? They moved BJ. 683 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: You could move him. I could if you put anybody 684 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: can be moved if you hit him in the waist. 685 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: You know what. I'm just that's a fat behind it. 686 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this for the record, go find 687 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: the biggest when Nate Newton comes in here tomorrow, push 688 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: him trying it. I'm saying that I think you're which 689 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: he's one of my two or three favorite picks in 690 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: this draft class. Yeah, I think your expectations for Quentin 691 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: Bohana are a tad high. Maybe and high. I get that. 692 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the problem still becomes like who else. 693 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: That's the whole reason. It's not because of him so 694 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: much as much as it is. I don't think they 695 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: got anybody else that has that body type. If you 696 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: if you're gonna say three four is our base, who 697 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: else has the body type that can hold up at 698 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: the at the nose? I don't know, but I'm just 699 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: cannot get moved at the nose and three four, Like 700 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: that is that is a critical position where they cannot 701 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: get pushed around. I'm not gonna play three four. That's 702 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: you just want to say. He said, that's their base. 703 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: And then he said, we're gonna play seventy percent of 704 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: our snaps and nickel, which is the four man front. 705 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: So the other thirty percent, what are we doing? I 706 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: don't know. Figure it out signed somebody else's roster cut. 707 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: When the roster gets cut, I just pick one ninety two. Yeah, 708 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: like I get it. Pick one ninety two. That's I 709 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: get it. Which loved the guy. I think he's gonna 710 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: be a good player too. But you get drafted where 711 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: you get drafted for a reason too. I said that 712 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: about d Jay rat Loft too. All right, let's move 713 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: on to the defensive M position. A tad high, four 714 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: time Pro bowlers, a tad high. You just took it back. 715 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: You showed him, you took it back fifteen years like 716 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: j Every once in a while, the best seventh round 717 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: draft pick in Cowboys history. Probably every once in a while, 718 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: I had to guess. Maybe he was seventh round? He 719 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: was fourth, wasn't he? I think Stock was a seventh 720 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: I'll trust you on that one. I don't know, maybe 721 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: it's ten. All right, let's talk about the defensive end 722 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: position they drafted. Uh he was a third round pick 723 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: out of Iowa. Uh at defensive end they have I'm sorry, 724 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: he was a tenth round pick, Roger staubo oh all 725 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: the way back in nineteen sixty tenth round pick. Wow. Okay, 726 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: so you just forgot the zero. That's fine. That was 727 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: back when the NFL had baseball type drafts. Yeah, but yeah, sorry, 728 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: go ahead, nobody cares. Thanks, Yeah, you kind of got 729 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: us off. But um, okay, so we've got the defensive imposition. 730 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: You got de Marcus Larns, you got Randy Gregory, got 731 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: Dorance Armstrong, Terrell Basham, Bradley, and I then you got 732 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 1: the draft picks Shaunsey Gholston and you have Rondelle Carter 733 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: from last year's Well, Um, which veterans you think are 734 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: most at risk defensive in Hey, we probably ought to 735 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: talk about britent Urban because I do think he factors 736 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: into that as well. That's a tough one because, like 737 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: right off the bat, Terrell Basham comes to mind, But 738 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: they also signed him to a two year deal and 739 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: the other guys that they got. They were one year deals, 740 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: right exactly. You have to kind of yeah, well, if 741 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: you're looking, I mean again, it's a maybe they don't 742 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: want to admit it, but it's about more than just 743 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: like who's playing against Tampa. Like Terrell Basham's under contract 744 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: for two years. Who the hell knows what's gonna happen 745 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: with Randy Gregory. Is he gonna blow the hell up? 746 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: And you got to franchise him or sign up? Because 747 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: I believe he is finally at the end of his 748 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: deal whatever it is at this point. Didn't they give 749 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: him an extension? But I think they gave him an 750 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: extension to get to this point. I'm pretty sure. Well 751 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: I know this, and I know this for other other 752 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: reasons because of stuff that happens, you know, when you're 753 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: trying to get guys to do appearances and stuff. He's 754 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: not on his rookie year deal. No, that's you know, 755 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: they have so many weird things have happened to Randy's contract, 756 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: But he's finally at the end of it. He's since 757 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Technically he's like the fourth longest tenured player 758 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: on the team in terms of years that he's been here, 759 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: not games played, but he's missed more games than he's played. Yeah, 760 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: I think it's like sixty to forty. He's gonna make. 761 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna make two million dollars this year, and then 762 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: he's finally able to hit free agency two or three 763 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: years after he would have been able to interest. So 764 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: he's what like late twenties. You said, franchise him. What 765 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: if he freaking has like thirteen sacks. No, I'm just saying, 766 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: not that that's well that Marcus Lawrence did it, that 767 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: would be surprising, But I'm just saying, franchising him. We 768 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: know how what that price is, Yeah, we do. We 769 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: also know how valuable it is when an edge rusher can. 770 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just de Marcus Lawrence did the same 771 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: thing like his career, But Dave, Dave will fight you 772 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: on Bohanna be in a sixth rounte pick. That's gonna 773 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: do to things like it's a little high. We are 774 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: taking absolute crazy pills right now? Or did Randy Gregory 775 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: show up and take Alden Smith's job last year? No, 776 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: you are you are god. You are taking crazy pills. 777 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: If you think he's gonna hit thirteen sacks like I 778 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: think de Marcus Lawrence was a disappointing player until twenties. 779 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I'm just saying, the guy is 780 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: super duper talented, got it, came on strong as hell 781 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: last year. God it is used to the NFL like 782 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: he's done this for all five. Had the talent to 783 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: be a top ten pick. It was never his talent 784 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: that put him there. Okay, first time having a real 785 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: off season and in a real year and you got 786 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: to give him thirteen sacks. I'm saying you should at 787 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: least think it's possible that he can do it. Absolutely well, yeah, 788 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: it's possible. I mean it's possible to Bohanna cannot believe 789 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: we are comparing Quentin Bohanna to Randy Gregory right now. 790 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Laurence would be the what would be the biggest 791 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: surprise if you said, right now, Bohannah will start in 792 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: your three four based defense and he'll start six or 793 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: seven games, you know, based off of where they play, 794 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: or Randy Gregory has thirteen sacks and they have to 795 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: franchise him. Bohannah is more likely because there's not that 796 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: much talent on this defensive line. But no, no, no, 797 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: you're you're You're insane, You're absolutely crazy. Are we assuming 798 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the field the whole season? Derek Apparent? Oh, Randy, Yes, yeah, 799 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean yeah. I don't see any reason why you 800 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't know he's gonna be on the field. I think 801 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: you know how many sacks to Marcus Lawrence had? You 802 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: know how many sacks to Marcus Lawrence had before or 803 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: he posted his fourteen and a half sack season that 804 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: got enfranchised for his career? Do you know? Nine? Nine? 805 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: He had? Nine? He had done with all due respect 806 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: and injuries were part of it, but kind of jack 807 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: squat by thirty fourth overall pick standards. Randy's got ten 808 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: and a half and he had three and a half 809 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: last year, and he played in like eight games. But 810 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: he's gonna jump from three and a half. I'm just saying, 811 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: and let's just extrap late seven to thirteen, so he's 812 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: gonna double this year. I just I you're comparing a 813 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: Day three rookie to a fifth year NFL veteran who 814 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: has shown the potential to do this. I'm not I'm 815 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: really not trying to think that comparison. I guess my 816 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: point though, is good. I'm gonna meet in the middle 817 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: there he might have thirteen and a half because he's 818 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: gonna be rushing off the edge because they got this 819 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: defensive tackle named Bohanna right down in the middle. I'm 820 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: gonna help him do that. But you know what, they're 821 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna help each other. I'm just saying again and going 822 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: back to the point, like this team, this defensive end 823 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: is a bizarrely reported trouble spot for this team, like 824 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 1: nobody and probably because there weren't any good edge rushers 825 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: in this draft, but like in most years, people would 826 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: be like, let's get the best end we can, like 827 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: we've we've got DeMarcus and then a bunch of stuff 828 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: we're not sure about. Yeah, but I think that's also 829 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: because like like at a lot of other positions, they 830 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: didn't even have really bodies, let alone like the defensive 831 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: and position. It may not be where you want it 832 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 1: to be, but you got guys you think are relatively competent. 833 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: You think DeMarcus is competent. Yes, you think Randy, as 834 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: you're saying, is very competent. Right, so you at least 835 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: got two starters at defensive end that you think are competent. 836 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: You can't say that about a lot of other positions 837 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: on the defense, which and all of these conversations to 838 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: bring it back again like even Bohana, all of this 839 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: is just a testament to how talent poor they've been 840 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: on defense than anything. In my opinion, that's fair. But 841 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: so to get way back on the track. And now 842 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: that I know that y'all hate Randy Gregory, we go kidding. 843 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, that's all somebody just heard there though. Yeah, 844 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: we're gonna be forever painted as the guys. I hate Randy. 845 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: If you question somebody you know at all, that's right. 846 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: Well he loves him and you hate him, right, simp, 847 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: there's no in between. But it's such a fair argument, 848 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: Like you know, not to agree with Dave right now. 849 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: It's come on, that's what we do. It's you and 850 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: me against the Olds. That's how this works, the Olds. 851 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm kidding all of this with a grain of salt, 852 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: Like I feel like we're gonna get in a fight 853 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: when we get on. But you know what, Randy, like 854 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: I said on here like three years ago, he'll never 855 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: play football for the Cowboys again. And he did. And 856 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: I went up to him in the locker room and 857 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: apologize straight to his face and told him, listen, I 858 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: wasn't a believer. I'm proud of what you've been able 859 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: to do and turn things around and all that. And 860 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: he played four or five games and then he got 861 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: suspended again and I was okay. So I've stopped making 862 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: the comments about him, you know what I mean. And 863 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: I understand the rules are different, the things that he's 864 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: that's kind of slowed them down. The rules are different there, 865 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: and it'll be easier for him to play more games, 866 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: I think, But you never know. I mean, she makes 867 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: a point. I mean, are we assuming that can you 868 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: assume anything with him? You just can't. And I hope so, man, 869 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: I hope so because he is a joy to talk to. 870 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 1: He really is. We talked about Jordan Lewis, Randy Greg. 871 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: Randy's right up there. He is. He's a really really 872 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: smart guy and I love talking to him. He's bringing 873 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,919 Speaker 1: when we get to interview him. He says some really 874 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: cool things. So I'm we're pulling for him, I think 875 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: all of us. I speak for everyone where everyone. The 876 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: thing is, we have seen the talent that he has 877 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: and we've seen him make it happen. So that obviously 878 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,800 Speaker 1: is not off the table either of what Dave is saying. 879 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, he can get there, we just haven't seen 880 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: it yet. So that's the one thing it is. And 881 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: you're hoping he can contract years are funny things. Man. 882 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: Nobody saw Byron becoming an All pro either, And I'm 883 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, and I think sometimes the Cowboys 884 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: will show you what their confidence is with the position 885 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: they got bash them. Okay, they didn't sign him for 886 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: numbers that would that would unseat Randy Gregory. They didn't 887 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: reach in the draft of got to get a defensive end, 888 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: gotta get a guy there or leading. They got a 889 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 1: third round you know, who can be a tweener. So 890 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't go we got to get one 891 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: of those Miami rushers, you know. So they to me 892 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: what they did and didn't do show that they've got 893 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: some pretty good confidence and you know, leaning on him, 894 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: Oh it'll be interesting. And the reason that I brought 895 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 1: all of that up is just Basham gives you flexibility. 896 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: I think, like, if something Randy's future is uncertain, let's 897 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: just say that we don't have to put the ten 898 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: sacks or thirteen sacks in there. But we don't know 899 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: what the future holds for him, so it would be 900 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: nice to have a placeholder who you know is under 901 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: contract for the coming year. I think this is really 902 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: interesting because obviously a Bradley and I is he's the 903 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: golden child of the fan base right now because he 904 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: was a very popular draft pick. People thought he got 905 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: drafted a lot lower than he should have, and we 906 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: haven't really seen him. So people are like, Bradley and I's, 907 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, coming for Dorin's Armstrong's job, and this, that 908 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: and the other. But we know it well, we know 909 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: Dorn's Armstrong's really highly thought of here. And then they 910 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: just spent the top one hundred pick on an edge 911 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: rusher and Chauncey Golston. So like Bradley and I is 912 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick, like he could act, he has 913 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: no job security. And I know people don't want to 914 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: hear that, but that's gonna make for an interesting position 915 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: battle when they actually start playing. In only his second year, 916 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: he's already kind of battling here. For if you're a 917 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: draft is if like first through fourth round picks are 918 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: the only guys that are safe as rookies in my experience, 919 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: and then even if you're not doing it in year 920 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: two as a fourth rounder, you're not safe yet. So 921 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take our final break, will come back. 922 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: We do still have to hit the offensive line, talk 923 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: particular about the offensive tackle position and what we think 924 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: may stick around. There's a lot of guys that are 925 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: kind of clogging up behind those behind those main starters. 926 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when come right back.

Okay, so 989 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 1: let's we got one more position. We gotta hit offensive tackle. 990 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys draft Josh Ball fourth round out of what nothing 991 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: Nick was just Nick implied something and was Chris said, 992 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: Chris said it was funny. He was craving approval. Okay, 993 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: I didn't crave improve Chris said, think. Chris said that 994 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,760 Speaker 1: was funny. They just got him to Day Boy. He's sorry, 995 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's just rolling him out to Day all right. 996 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: Josh Ball drafted in fourth round out of Marshall. Cowboys 997 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: have currently Tyren Smith, Lyle Collins, Brandon Knight, Terren Steele 998 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: who played a lot last year, so they come in 999 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: this year with a lot more experience. Uh tye Insecki. Yeah, 1000 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 1: that's that's perfect. That works. And then obviously Josh Ball, 1001 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: who the vets here that are that are looking at 1002 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: possibly being out the door because it really gets interesting 1003 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: you start thinking about Brandon Knight and and Terrence Steele 1004 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: because of the amount of experience have they gotten. Did 1005 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: they get better over last year to the point where 1006 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: maybe they could step up and be like even competition 1007 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 1: for Josh Ball to where Josh Ball becomes less important 1008 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: to this sent I hope. So, I mean that's why 1009 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: Terren Steele was playing, you know, I mean how many 1010 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 1: quarterbacks did he get hurt? And how many games? I 1011 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: mean how many games he affected games? Because but they 1012 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: were trying, they were they were pot committed on him, 1013 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: like to try to get him out there and can play. 1014 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: I never heard that term pot committed play poker. I 1015 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 1: don't sorry, I don't. Oh, that's a poker time it 1016 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, once you just keep betting, yeah, 1017 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: bet now you got to see it all, might as 1018 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,359 Speaker 1: well just keep betting because you put it all out there. 1019 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: That's what they were doing with him, and I think 1020 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: so I hope that he's better because I mean he 1021 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 1: got a lot of for undrafted rookie last year, he 1022 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: got a lot of playing time, and I think he 1023 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: did get better. I mean it was he had a 1024 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: little see I mean Low Florida start with, but he 1025 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 1: got better. And so do you ever here? I know 1026 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 1: you have had access to that side of the building 1027 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,760 Speaker 1: and get to talk to certain people tier two pots 1028 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: on that access. Please, I was over there, but you 1029 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 1: got to run into certain people that most of us 1030 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: don't right now. But did you ever get a sense 1031 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: of whether scouts or training anyone as to maybe why 1032 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,720 Speaker 1: they were so stuck on keeping still in there? Yeah? 1033 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: Well it came down to they didn't have any other options. 1034 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 1: And last year was so weird because you couldn't just 1035 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: bring guys in off the street. There wasn't a lot 1036 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: of guys. It took two weeks to get a guy 1037 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: in tested and all that. So you gotta keep keep 1038 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: him going. And I think that he showed signs. I mean, 1039 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: he's an athletic tackle, he's athletic um and he you know, 1040 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: he just keeps, he keeps fighting, he kept fighting. He 1041 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 1: wasn't he wasn't great, but he was the best they had. 1042 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: And well he wasn't the best they had. He was 1043 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: he was the had the most upside. They could have 1044 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,880 Speaker 1: played what was his name, Jordan's Mills, they could have 1045 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 1: played Greg Soot had a little bit more, but they're 1046 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,919 Speaker 1: not going to be here next year. And they knew 1047 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: when when it got to the point of the season 1048 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: where it's probably not gonna go like we wanted to, 1049 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: let's just keep playing him. And so I think he 1050 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: did get he got better. Yeah, I think I agree 1051 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: with that perfectly. And like I gotta say, I know, 1052 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:50,839 Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a great year, but like 1053 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: I you know, you get thrown in the fire like that. 1054 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, this should be in the third or 1055 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: fourth tackle should be great for you. Now if you 1056 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 1: had to be the second one and some you know, 1057 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: maybe the first one for so much of the years, 1058 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: so that can only help. I wonder if Brandon Knight's 1059 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: going to wind up at guard, because if you think 1060 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: about it, they drafted Ball who everybody says only slipped 1061 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: because of the domestic violence allegations. So that's a talented 1062 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: guy and Secky's been doing this for a long time. 1063 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 1: You still have Terrence Steele, So now it's like, well, 1064 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: I know we needed all of these tackles last year, 1065 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: but how many tackles do we need if everybody's healthy? 1066 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: And Brandon Knight has played guard here before. I believe 1067 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: he played guarded Indiana so and I know they drafted 1068 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: Matt Farnioc in the seventh round, but like in terms 1069 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,600 Speaker 1: of big time additions, they didn't do a whole lot 1070 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 1: to the interior. So that's a possibility. Ty and Secki's 1071 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: probably the guy. Like if Josh Ball is just the 1072 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: truth and you also have Terrence Steele, then maybe that's 1073 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 1: a veteran salary you can get rid of. Would you 1074 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 1: guys agree that Brandon Knight kind of as a season 1075 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: wore on, He got a little worse, and I think 1076 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele got a little better. I think I would 1077 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: agree with that. Yeah, i'd I'd like to go back 1078 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: and watch, but that I feel like I remember thinking 1079 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: that like night was you and me both were like, 1080 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,800 Speaker 1: can we get a look at night? And he played 1081 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: well for a while, and then by the end of 1082 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: the season it seemed like it was catching up to him. 1083 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: I think Guard would be a good spot for him. 1084 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 1: You know, I just I just feel like I said 1085 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: it many times. I think if he went into his closet, 1086 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of shirts, a black t shirts 1087 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: that say he's like staff on the back, you know, 1088 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: just a bouncer. I mean, he's just a brawler. I 1089 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: think I think Guard, I think this is his spot. Um, 1090 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: how many tackles are you keeping in the roster? Four? Right? 1091 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: I would like to keep four like some teams keep three, 1092 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,879 Speaker 1: but with on this team. Yeah, and then there are 1093 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 1: some of these guys that are flexible that can kind 1094 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: of you can kind of move them around. So how 1095 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,399 Speaker 1: many of those flexible guys are you trying to keep? 1096 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: See That's that's the thing about Brandon Night could be 1097 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, you can keep four guards, four tackles, and 1098 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 1: you keep him and it's basically like having nine guys, 1099 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: but it's like having five and five. I would go 1100 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: heavy on offensive line for this team like some you know, 1101 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 1: e you some teams will say you can get away 1102 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 1: with eight, and I think the Cowboys have done it 1103 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: before when you know, like when Tyrone was a lot healthier. 1104 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 1: If they wanted to keep ten. I wouldn't even know. 1105 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering, Like, because of what happened last year, 1106 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,879 Speaker 1: are they may be thinking of keeping more because you 1107 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,399 Speaker 1: cannot trust anyone's health. I mean we saw it last year. 1108 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: Everyone was getting hurt and going in and out of 1109 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: the line. So does that change maybe as to how 1110 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: many they did keep this year? You know, I just 1111 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,240 Speaker 1: thought of this. That question makes me think of another 1112 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: question that needs to be asked. What is the protocols 1113 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: this year? Like they need to figure that out too, 1114 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: Like do you bring it? Can you bring a guy 1115 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 1: in on Monday and he plays Sunday? Because that could 1116 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: not happen last year? And if and if that is, 1117 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: if it is going to be a challenge to bring 1118 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: guys off the street and work them out, then I 1119 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 1: agree with one hundred percent one hundred and twenty percent. 1120 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: Like I agree even more that you need more more offensive. 1121 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm and stack it up there because if not, you 1122 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,879 Speaker 1: can't just be that's churning it. You have to keep 1123 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 1: that in mind. It sucks like nobody wants to talk 1124 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 1: about COVID anymore. Nobody ever wanted to talk about COVID, 1125 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 1: But it's true like it's it's all you know that 1126 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 1: it's a whole different world when you're like, well, if 1127 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 1: we bring this guy in today, he might be able 1128 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 1: to get onto the field in two weeks, as opposed 1129 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: to the old school NFL style where you know, guy 1130 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 1: gets hurt on Sunday night and his replacements at practice 1131 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: working on Wednesday morning. You know, like it's just vaccination 1132 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: may change things, I know, and we just we don't 1133 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: have answers about how OTAs are going to work in 1134 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: two weeks. So you know, we're just gonna that's just 1135 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: gonna take some patience to see how it all unfolds. Well, 1136 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,400 Speaker 1: that actually brings up an interesting topic before you. The 1137 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 1: show Rookie Minicamp starts this weekend, and they are still 1138 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 1: on the same protocols that they've been on throughout the season, 1139 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 1: So nothing has really changed there from the standpoint of 1140 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: access and that sort of thing. But I will say this, 1141 00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,760 Speaker 1: and I will I want some feedback from you guys. 1142 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,439 Speaker 1: What do you think, what do you expect to see 1143 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 1: this weekend and what are you looking to see? Obviously 1144 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: get you know, this is just kind of an acclamation 1145 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: for the rookies, but what kind of stuff do you 1146 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 1: guys look at when you go out here to watch 1147 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 1: this rookie mini caamp every year, The first thing I 1148 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: like to look at is their body. I know that 1149 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: sounds weird, but no, but we see the measurements, we 1150 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 1: see how tall they are, how much they wait, but 1151 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: it's very different when you see them on the field 1152 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: next to each other. So that's the one thing that 1153 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: has always attracted me as the first impression type of thing. 1154 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: The body type, the body build, how they look. Do 1155 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: they look like the guy the reference you always use 1156 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 1: snake the bus reference. Do they look like a guy 1157 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: you want coming off the bus first? So that's the 1158 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: main thing for me, because again it's not like we're 1159 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna get a whole lot. We're not gonna learn a 1160 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 1: whole lot in this first minicamp. So for sure, me 1161 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 1: would be that just looking at how they physically look 1162 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: and fit on the field, you're gonna love the wide 1163 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: receivers then, because all the rookie free agents, every one 1164 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,800 Speaker 1: of them. Let reading Kyle Yeoman's uh you know reports 1165 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 1: on these guys for the undrafted, Uh, they're all red 1166 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: zone guys. We got six four six five former basketball 1167 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: players that from Eagles, vasher Um the Mississippi State. What's 1168 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,919 Speaker 1: his name, Osiris Smith? Should I think yes? And then 1169 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: when the draft picks big two semi fooko six four right, 1170 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 1: So I mean the same thing for the cornerbacks if 1171 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 1: you want to go there. So they definitely draft, you know, 1172 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 1: for you know, big guys. And he looking I mean 1173 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: looking like a redwood forest out there, just six two 1174 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: six three six four guys all over the place. You're 1175 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: looking forward to getting back in the locker room. Watch 1176 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph is Kelvin Joseph is gonna look tiny and 1177 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: he's like six flats. So he's the one I think, 1178 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, we'll be looking at too, and you can 1179 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: you can find you can see how fluid he is 1180 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 1: with his hips and how he turns and all that 1181 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 1: kind of stuff and if he's got it, and I think, 1182 00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: you know he's the one that he's I mean, I 1183 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 1: think Parsons is going to be what he is and 1184 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 1: he's got to be a really good player for this 1185 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: for you know, for the draft class to work. But 1186 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 1: I think the wildcard on it is is Joseph. And 1187 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see, we'll see where he is. I 1188 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 1: think anticlimactics probably a good word. I think they're only 1189 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: like it's only it's only gonna be twenty five guys. 1190 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 1: And I saw today, you know, there was a report 1191 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: that the Nucci was gonna be allowed. But yeah, that's 1192 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Well he can't now, like so you know, 1193 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: like I don't think they even have enough guys throwing 1194 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: the ball, that's my point. Yeah, the report said something 1195 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 1: to the effect of, they're they're gonna try to go 1196 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: get some guys that they signed for workouts. You're gonna 1197 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 1: get some arm like bodies. But like, I don't think 1198 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a good idea. There 1199 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 1: you go, I don't think it would be a good idea. 1200 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: Away too true that they actually have me on tape 1201 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: throwing the ball and they kicked them off the quarterback 1202 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: position on the flag football. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 1203 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that was exactly what happened, but 1204 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: what I heard, he's an injury reserve. That's true. That's 1205 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: I think. I think you're just getting to look at 1206 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully you know, and I know they will, but 1207 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: like be careful with these guys like Michael Parsons, didn't 1208 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 1: have a football season. So like people love to talk 1209 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 1: about how out of shape you are just doing the 1210 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: draft process after a season because it's so much different. 1211 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: Well imagine that. But you haven't played in a football 1212 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: game since January or December of twenty eighteen, right, is 1213 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: that no? Twenty nineteen? I'm sorry nineteen? Um so yeah, 1214 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 1: just he's these guys back? How many of these guys? 1215 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: I think Micah is the only opt out if that's 1216 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 1: what you're going to ask. Yeah, yeah, because I was like, okay, 1217 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 1: how is that going to affect? Like? But he's very 1218 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 1: important to what you wanted to say. Everybody else played, 1219 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: but he's the most important one. Let's ease him in. 1220 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: We don't need to. I don't need you doing anything 1221 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: crazy in your first time back on a field in 1222 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: a year and a half.
