Derek is not here today, but we 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.440 got Nick, we got a watch, and then we got 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.800 Brian in studio. A lot of excitement this morning, welcome 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.680 to the Big News. A lot of fans seem very 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:58.200 very happy about this recent trade that the Cowboys made. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.920 They've gone out and gyan wide receiver George Pickens. And 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.120 this was a deal that they make with Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.399 They basically got Pickens and at twenty twenty seven six 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.360 round pick for the draft in twenty twenty seven in 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.760 exchange for a twenty twenty six third round pick and 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:23.039 at twenty twenty twenty twenty seven fifth round pick from 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.920 the Dallas Cowboys. So how are you guys doing, How 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.199 are you feeling? Tell me your initial reaction to these 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.720 late latest news that the Cowboys did. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.240 If I could explain my twelve hours in the in 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.280 two words, it would probably be extremely exhausting. But it's 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.759 it's it's a good it's a good trade man, it's 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.520 it's fun. We're gonna have a lot to talk about, 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.720 especially not even on the show, I mean throughout the 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.040 course of the next couple of years. It's this is 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.160 a high risk, high reward type type type of ordeal. 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.920 I want to get these guys thoughts on it before 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.440 I go too far into it, but I can't. I'd 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.320 be remiss if I did not mention the parking hell 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.560 that is the star this weekend. If you plan on 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.040 coming down here, be ready to find a parking spot 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.520 that ACMs have this place as an absolute zoo. So 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.480 that's why I was late. Chris Beam, you can donk 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.919 me for that. But other than that, it's been a crazy, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:15.200 crazy last twelve hours. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.520 You know, Cowboy fans get a gift waking up this morning. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.200 You know, the past few weeks, months or so, we 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.040 were thinking, all right, it could be a thirty year 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.040 old wire receiver. You know, maybe somebody's at the end 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.440 of their prime or maybe we'll get lucky with a 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.760 fifth round guy that we drafted something like that, and 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.960 Cowboys say, no, hang tight. And then you get this 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.919 wire receiver one B. I'm not gonna call him a 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.040 wire receiver. To this wire receiver one B that Woo's 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.440 top tier corners by himself. You pair him with the 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.600 guys you have in the quarterback you have. I don't 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.080 want to take too many talking for us and be 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.760 like Nick Brian please, I'm just I'm just thrilled right now. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.120 Yeah, this one was done without a safety net. You know, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.720 if you look at it, really it's a one year 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.960 deal right now, and then with the Cowboys with some 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.440 of the contracts that they have coming up. But it 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.560 is a bold move. It is there, you know, to 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.640 lay out a third and a fifth for a player 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.359 that you might I just only have for one year. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.880 But you know, you got to like the excitement of it. 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.600 You know, we've we're all kind of talking about we're 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.720 thinking about maybe a veteran receiver. Maybe it was Amari Cooper, 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.919 you know, but they were talking. They were thinking bold. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.000 They were thinking to go out and get a guy 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.960 that could absolutely help him in this particular player Ambart 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.520 he can help this football team. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.520 Can we start there with the contract thing, please, because 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.079 that's that's I think is the most fascinating piece of 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.480 it immediately, right is because I spent probably an hour 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.960 last night talking to somebody in Pittsburgh. I have a 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.520 really a good friend of mine that I grew up 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:34.880 with that plays for the Steelers. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.320 I called him this morning. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.240 I've talked to a few people about what George Pickens 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.320 situation is or was I guess in Pittsburgh they were 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.840 fully expecting him to make their life hell this offseason. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.520 They were saying he was going to hold out for 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.880 a contract. That's what they were preparing for. That's why 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.720 that they wanted to go ahead and deal them. That 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.240 came from the source, now, from the players, like this 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.440 is kind of one of those guys in your locker room. Yeah, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.080 he's the bad kid in class. But with the bad 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.680 kid in class that all the kids love and all 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.880 the team and you know, I think that could be 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:07.280 a fascinating dynamic in the locker room. You know, how 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.200 does that exactly work for the teachers here in Dallas? 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.040 But it's gonna be fascinating. But I want to start 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.840 with that contract part because if they are not signing 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.720 him to a deal now, and they're basically saying, hey, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.159 one year rental, prove it, you have to play worst 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.640 case scenario in that same instance as well. In the 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.960 worst case scenario is either one of two things. One, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.760 he doesn't work out, he's a bad apple, and it 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.920 becomes a situation where you look back at this trade 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.560 and you're like, man, Pittsburgh dealt with a lot of 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.360 hell that they didn't really show on the surface. A 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:43.200 La Antonio Brown or the other worst case scenarios that 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.800 he absolutely balls out. He gives you fourteen hundred yards 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.040 and ten touchdowns and you can't afford him next time, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.200 and he moves on and you're out a third and 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.960 a fifth round pick. If it were me, I'd get 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.000 the deal done now. I'd be like, hey, George Pickens, 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.640 you want twenty twenty five million, Sure, let's do it. 0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.640 Let's get it done right now. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.080 Pickens doesn't want to do it, then you figure out 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.120 a price that works for both sides. That would be me, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.000 But I do know that you also have to factor 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.120 in that it might not work out with him from 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.920 a risk standpoint, But that I think is the most 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.560 fascinating part of this immediately, Well. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.479 It's a third though, so you would imagine that the 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.360 Cowboys have to walk into this thing with some good 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.440 vibes and some possibility that them thinking that this could work. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.200 It's like this isn't some throwaway fit for like they 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.040 love their their third round picks, they don't play about 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.400 third round picks. So in my mind, I think the 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.200 Cowboys are ready to extend him. Maybe not today, maybe 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.840 after tomorrow. They probably want to wait around to see 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.880 a little bit. But I think the Cowboys just rolling 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.040 dice again. Hey man, we got a leader in here, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.560 we got number four up in here. We got a 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.040 number one receiver that can make his life a little 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.080 bit better. We're gonna win some games. We ain't got 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.000 to worry about Kenny Pickett walking around here. You know, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.440 Russell Wilson, will you know you earn you earn, You 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.599 earn all of this respect in different ways. You don't 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.640 just roll out and say, hey we're Pittsburgh, We're this 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.919 prestigious organization and you're gonna respect us. You get respect 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.960 wins and dues that demand respect. I think four as 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.040 a guy that can then you have a master's in 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.240 like leadership or something. Somebody he knows how to deal 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.800 with guys like this. Lamb Lamb is already cool when 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.000 right there their friends are right. I think this is 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.400 a better homey vibe than we're prestigious Pittsburgh and you 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:17.520 better do x y z no. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.200 I think that Nick's absolutely right. And talking to people 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.280 in Pittsburgh, you know they they talk about him in 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.919 the locker room. That's not a problem about him. And 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.400 it always reminds me though, if people start to say, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.000 and I know there were some people on Twitter that 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.280 we're making some comments I know in my direction, were 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.239 about well, there goes culture, there goes all the things 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.360 that we talked about in the draft that Brian Schottenheimer 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.640 and all that. Let me remind you that one time 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.360 Jim Garrett, Jason Garrett's father, said in the draft room 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.400 and talking about Randy Moss, guys, this is the NFL. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.560 It's not the boy scouts. You know, this culture. It's 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.400 if they're building some things, it's really about getting great 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.840 football players. It's about trying to find great football players. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.839 Add great football players so you can heat with the 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.000 teams in the NFC and hopefully you can go through 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.159 the playoffs and hopefully you can get to a super Bowl. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.920 But you don't do that without great players. This guy 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.400 is a great player, and you're willing to put up 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.480 with You're willing to even put up with the having 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.960 to maybe part with a third fifth round pick, and 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.440 you might not get this deal done, you know, but 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.960 that there, there is your there is you're all in 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.280 move in my opinion, you know, we've kind of given 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.280 Jerry Jones a lot of grief about that, that like, oh, 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.560 we're all in? What's this all in? No for you 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.600 to you know, as much as his team loves draft 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.160 picks for them to part with, and you know, people say, well, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.120 Dan brought us they part with a fourth round pick 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.000 all the time. Okay, you know that's their way of 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.119 trying to maybe address address and need here. But to 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.440 to to throw out a third and a fifth for 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.040 a player that doesn't have a contract or for next 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.800 year or after this year, I think is a very 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.920 bold move because I think this guy is going to 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.640 come in and play very very well for you. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.640 Plus, Brian, what's the point of having leaders then and 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:57.800 not lead guys like this? 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:58.360 Right? 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.120 You don't just bring in leaders to lead of the leaders. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.960 You you bring in leaders just in case you. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.640 Have some immaturity problems with this guy. I don't think 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.520 there's some immaturity problems with this guy. And you know, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.680 but and he's a very fiery, emotional player. When you 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.360 watch him play, you could see how important it is 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.800 to him. And there's going to be some times where 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.360 probably body language is not great and things like that. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.840 But you just got to find a way to be 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.239 able to deal with that. And people will probably say, well, damn, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.320 Mike Tomlin was one of the best in the league, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.120 you know, having to deal with these these problematic receivers. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.400 But they've kind of moved on when they felt like 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.480 they needed to move on from a guy, they've moved on. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.960 So they have to feel good about the deal, just 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.800 as good as Dallas feels about getting the player. You know, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.240 we'll see which side of this actually wins out. But 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.679 I have no problem with going out and getting a 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.360 player like this. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.600 To him, maybe all right, no, you're good. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.520 No, I was gonna say, I don't think going back 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.640 to the contract situation. I don't think you were the 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.640 Cowboys and make a decision a trade like this without 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.600 a plan in mind. I think they do have a 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.160 plan in mind, and we'll see how it takes to 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.800 effect later on. And I do have in my rundown 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.839 for today Brian Schottenheimer and the culture that he's implementing 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.760 trying to implement here. We'll touch and we'll get back 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.520 to that later and talk about how a guy like 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.680 him coming in to hear how that could change things around. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.640 But in the meantime, I want to go back and 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.120 talk about what kind of player he is in the 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.800 last two years, what you guys have seen around the league, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.760 and what he's done over there in Pittsburgh. We know 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.720 he's been with different quarterbacks. How does he look, what 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:33.080 does he do, and how would he work alongside ceedy Lamb. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.400 Throw the ball to him, He'll find it. Just throw 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.080 it down there somewhere he'll find it. His ability to 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.800 find the ball in the air, whether it's somebody latched 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.320 on to him, whether he's wide open him tracking the ball, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.040 that's where he really gets busy there, and whether it's 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.360 accurate or not. You know, whether he's tracking hands up, slow, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.080 you know, trail technique, whatever you want to do. He's physical. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.160 He's a yat guy with the ball in his hands. 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.760 I just can't say enough. And if you watch him 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.880 and you know y'all can do the little filters, you know, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.440 deep pass, he's the best deep ball receiver in the league. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:04.960 And that's not my opinion. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.520 Metrics will tell you that. The metrics tell you all that. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.600 That's the metrics and the numbers saying there, right. So 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.440 I think if you're Dak and you're used to throwing 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.400 the ball to five nine receivers or five eleven receivers deep, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.000 now you get a six three catch ratis dude that 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.360 that tracks it and just catches everything, jumps over guys 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:21.640 sometimes I think it's a slam dump. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.920 The physicality jumps off the page, no doubt. And this 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.160 is a stat that was thrown out by a guy 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.920 on Twitter this morning named ray Gie. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.440 I'm Sorrygie, I don't know who you are. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.960 We're giving you credit here from twenty twenty two to 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.960 twenty twenty four, so over the course of the last three. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.319 D I love Raggie, Nick. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.160 Please, he's a cube, by the way, so Derek would 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.559 have loved Reggie so exactly. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:49.760 Uh O, ragg Sorry, it's not ray j about you 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:50.880 say a video involved here? 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.560 Please? Nick finish what hellge saying. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.200 George picked his his three most success full routes over 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.200 the course of the last three seasons in order go route, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:10.600 hitch out out route, Dak Prescott's three most successful routes 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.280 in order hit trout out route, go route. I mean 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.760 this is a perfect combination, or a perfect marriage, I 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.120 guess you could say from a Dak to Pickens perspective. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.360 And Dak hasn't had that true outside presence since early 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.040 in his career when Does Bryant was still around, and 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.200 this is a guy that he can rely on. I mean, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.040 we saw it briefly with Michael Gallup, but I think 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.840 George Pickens is going to give you a different element 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.400 here because he's he's got the speed, he certainly has 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.480 a physicality, and he's going to open up so much 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.560 for ceed Lamb. Honestly, though, if I'm looking at the 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.280 receiver room, yes this benefits Cede Lamb. Yes, it benefits 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.079 George Pickens too. I think he's gonna end up having 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.319 a better career. This is gonna benefit Jonathan Mingo so much. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.040 I think going into twenty twenty five, this is a 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.280 guy that you know before this trade, you were saying gosh, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.600 they need Jonathan Mingo to step up. Now, it's hey, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.959 Jonathan Mingo can develop and do what he needs to do. 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.559 And let's say worst case scenario doesn't work out for 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.840 George Pickens, then they have a year of development with 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.800 Jonathan Mingo without the need the pressing need to continue 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:08.520 to develop him. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.440 I mean, from a football perspective, this is. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.520 A slam dunk home run, grand slam, whatever you want 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.000 to call it, whatever other pseudonym you want to call it, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.080 but it's it's the off the field stuff that's gonna 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.560 make it so so polarized. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.880 Don't worry about the off Just think positive things right now, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.320 back to Mingo, real fast. Mingo doesn't even have to 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.280 be wire receiver. Three Ferguson is going to be the 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.280 first guy to celebrate that. And then, like jay N, 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.840 I'm blue. If you want those one on ones with 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.240 linebackers and safeties, eat them up. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:31.680 Play you. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.719 If you Mingo, you're really like fifth or sixth that 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.319 some team will really worry about. Come on, man, come on, please, man, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:38.920 this guy. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.120 Is not gonna make you ever forget about Amari Cooper 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.160 running routes. That's just not his game. He's not a 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.920 route runner. This guy is a there's some a there's 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.880 some playground element to the way he plays football. And 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.240 if you embrace that, you're gonna get the best version 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.440 of this player, because when you do watch him, if 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.679 you think he's gonna plan it twelve yards and make 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.600 the outcut. Yeah, we talked about the vertical route. His 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:05.000 ability to separate is his his physicality. Nick brought that up. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.839 His ability to get his hands inside or get his 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.559 shoulder inside, and to push and to gouge for space. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.880 This is what this guy does. And I think Vatch 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.920 made an excellent point about this guy. His ability to 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.480 track the football I think is rare. He never loses 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.480 side of the football. And I think the routes that 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.520 he ran at Pittsburgh, and maybe it had a little 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.720 bit to do with the quarterback situation there, that they 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.840 didn't really have a bunch of route combinations. But you 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.000 put this guy in bunch cover or in bunch formations, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.880 let it scatter, let him run across the routes, let 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.160 him catch the ball on the move, bring him in 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.160 motion out out of the slot on third down, and 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.920 throw him the ball in the flat and watch him 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.080 get a first down. Now, this guy with ball in hand, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.400 he could be a pain in the ass to deal 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.760 with because of his ability and his desire to want 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.960 to get every yard he can out of the play. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.480 So this guy's got an element to him. Like I said, 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.200 it's got a little playground to it. But man, he 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.240 is a fun guy to watch play when it's when 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.000 he's got it rolling. 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.959 They really just did get their gen z, does Bryant? 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.000 I mean that's I think that is exactly. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.040 I think they absolutely. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:13.559 I think they. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.960 I think they. I think they did. Uh. You know, 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.320 you watch him and you're like, going, man, that route, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.800 I you know what? What was that? You know what? 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.160 But but he finds a way to get open. Yeah, 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.040 and no, yeah, he's he's he's working Certan, he's working 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.800 the guy in Atlanta, the Jets, the Jet He's working 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.760 all those guys. And he's doing it not because they're 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.400 scared to death of him, because they know how physical 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.000 he plays, the top of the route and his ability 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.800 to drive them off the ball, and all of a 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.520 sudden they're thinking he's going deep and then he plants 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.880 and comes back to the ball. You know, the comebacks, 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.280 the curls, the things like that you know, and and 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.520 he's and he's and he's got that ability to wherever 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.040 the ball is, high, low, wide on the ground, on 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.520 top of his shoes, wherever it is, he can go 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.920 low and get the football. This guy's got that kind 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.560 of ability. It's it's it's impressive to watch and play. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.200 Let's go ahead and take our first break. When we 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.400 come back, we're going to dive into a little bit 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.240 deeper the whole culture thing that Brian Schottenheimer is trying 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.800 to build here with the Cowboys, and what a guy 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.720 like him, with that type of personality and everything that 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.400 we've been hearing how he's been over there in Pittsburgh. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.000 What that can mean for the Cowboys in bringing in 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.400 a guy like him. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.160 After the break, Todd thought it would be secure to 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.840 jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.120 repellent he bought online was reliable.
