All right, this show 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.120 was built around two former Dallas Cowboys players Safety's Danny 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.600 McCray and Barry Church. I am merely the person who 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.600 helps them get through this forty five minutes to one hour. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.159 We'll see how long we go today.

Unfortunately I don't 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.840 have any pomo because it's so cold outside. Nobody is 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.080 venturing I'm going to eat and doing all that stuff, 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.160 So y'all all stuck inside just like me. So I'm good. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.040 I'm happy, man. I tell you, I should have never 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.840 let you go first. Man, it's cold. It's head out here. Man, 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.760 it's freezing outside, you know. So I thought I got 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.040 away from this when I came down to Dallas. Man, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.120 it's cold outside. You can't golf covid out here. Man, 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.240 it's you know, golf, you can't.

But you 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.520 know they won't run the planes dollars today, so you 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.200 know it's a good day. It's a good day. Yes, 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.080 we will dive into the super Bowl later on here 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.560 as Danny was the one who predicted Tampa Bay to win, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.720 and like an idiot, I did not listen to De 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.080 Marcus Ware. De Marcus Ware was on Serious x in 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.080 radio that morning. I heard him when he said, hey, 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.040 look that those tackles are gonna be an issue. I 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.200 played against uh Mike Rhymers in the Super Bowl and 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.560 Von Miller and I had a day against him, So 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.440 I shouldn't have listened to him. We'll dive into that 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.400 later time. Big wait oh wait wait wait wait wait 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.079 wait you said love you said the tackles, okay, because 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.520 we're gonna get back on the later said the tackles. Oh, 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.280 don't worry. I'm ready for you. I'm ready for you 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.079 to day. I don't think you're about to bring no 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.360 juice on me. And I ain't al ready for mikea lawyer. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.920 I'm not about to talk about nothing I ain't ready 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.200 to come back with. So don't worry, young, We go 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.560 ahead and get that tackles all you want to on that? 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.400 All right? J J J. J. Watt asked for his 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.600 release from Houston, and he got it. I'm still waiting 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.639 on Brett Farr to say something that he should shut 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.320 up and play like he said about Sean Watson, But 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.760 so far Brett Farve hasn't said that. But JJ Watson 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.520 is a J J. Watt is a free agent, and 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.960 they're all whole bunch of people on Twitter, Cowboy fans 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.680 saying go get him, please come to the Cowboys. Tank 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.800 Lawrence Cowboys defensive tackle, highs paid player on the team 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.400 even put something out on Twitter saying, you know, with 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.120 a phone at J J. Watt like, come on down. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.840 I'll start with you guys. Let's go to you first church. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.320 Do you want JJ Watt on the Cowboys? Nah? I wouldn't. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.440 I wouldn't go down that that bunny hole. Man. I 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.840 wouldn't venture down there with JJ Watt. First of all. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.640 I mean he said he asked for his release, but 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.400 let's be honest, he was getting released, all right. I 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.480 mean the man had five sacks last year, seventeen mil 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.240 next year. He was getting released regardless. But anyways, I 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.560 just wouldn't venture down that bunny hole. Man. I think 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.760 you got two guys that you know could start for 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.720 you and Gregory, and you got the Marcus Lawrence on 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.560 one side and Gregory on the other side. I just 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.680 don't think you need to do that. And with what money? 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.360 What money are we allocating towards JJ Wat? I mean 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.640 he's not gonna come in here for four or five mil. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.800 I mean he's still gonna gener rate some type of 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.720 some type of double digit salary. So for me, I 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.120 wouldn't go down there. Man. He just hasn't performed that great. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.760 And he said he wanted to go to a contender, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.880 and I don't know if for that team right now, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.160 So for me, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't venture 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.200 down that hole. Yeah, I'm gonna go with Church and 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.520 I'm gonna go a little deeper into the stats man. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.120 He had five sex this year, four sexson last year, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.479 and yes he was he was probably. I think it 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.719 all depends on the team you go to. If he 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.840 wants to go to a team that's probably you know, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.680 up against the captain, he'll have to, you know, maybe 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.800 take a five or six million dollars deal and try 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.800 to throw some intentives in there. So I just I 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.600 just really think it depends on where do you go. Obviously, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.000 if you signed with a team with a bunch of 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.760 cap space, then yeah, you can go get you you 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.720 can get all the bag you want. But if you're 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.880 trying to play for a team let's just say, and 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.200 I'm not just say the Saints, right, the Saints have 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.039 cap problems, So that's going to be an issue for 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.960 you to go to a team like that. The Buccaneer 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.839 have they have, they're gonna have some cap issues. They're 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.239 gonna try and bring back Lavonte David and Shaquille Barrett. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.799 Maybe they can't, maybe they won't. Kansas City, there's another 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.040 place a team like that's gonna you know, they're gonna 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.400 be it's gonna be tight to get under the cap. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.320 So would you sacrifice some millions of dollars to go 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.960 play with the Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady That that, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.920 to me, is going to be where jj Watt has 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.200 to go ahead and dive into. I'm gonna piggyback up 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.240 what you said here, Danny, and looking at the jj Watt, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.360 He's at one season of five and a half sacks 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.560 in the last five years. JJ Watt is an aging 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.640 football player who'll be thirty two years old, and I 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.560 think jj Watt has got a Hall of Fame resume, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.680 three time Defensive Player of the Year. I don't believe 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.640 that is the guy for the Cowboys. If I'm gonna 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.760 go with a thirty two year old guy, the player 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.840 that I would be interested in from a defensive standpoint 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.719 in terms of getting to the quarterback would be Von Miller. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.360 Von Millers do seventeen million dollars from the Denver Broncos. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.520 I don't see Von Miller getting it. He did not 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.640 play last year at all. And Vaughn's a former Super 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:09.160 Bowl MVP. He lives here in the Dallas Fort Worth area. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.480 His dad would love to see him with the Cowboys. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.760 And for me, I'm looking at Vaughn's leadership, a guy 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.800 who has been to the mountaintop as someone If I'm 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.120 dan Quinn, that I would want all my defense. Now 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.039 that's just I'm choosing between the players. If I'm to me, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.640 has he before I signed wide? I look at mel 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.680 has he played in that four three or has he 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.160 always been that three four guy out there endeavor? Or 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.360 is he he played in the four three before? Yeah, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.640 he started off in the four three. So started a 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.160 great question. Yeah, great question. But yes, I'm just he's 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.359 fine and he would he I ended up talking to 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.960 his representative about that, and he said that was He 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.159 said the Cowboys were a team that you know that 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.360 there would definitely be interested in on his part if 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.440 he's not reack with the Broncos. I wouldn't do either 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.840 one of those. What like why Like we already talked 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.080 about the interior line as where we need helping. I know, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.440 I know you were just going if we was gonna 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.280 pick up J. J. Watt, then you might as well 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.800 go get von Miller. But I don't think we need 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.000 either one. Like I have faith in the two guys 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.360 that we have outside before we go pay somebody else. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.720 Ten ten eleven, million dollars. I think Randy Gregory is 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.520 a very cheap option with a very high ceiling, and 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.760 we're already paying a hunting me into the Marcus Lawrence. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.920 I just think it doesn't make sense to even look 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.800 at that position for going to be one of those 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.600 spots when we put top priority jjat go take take 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.880 take a pay cut after they chopped this haircut on 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.880 Big Bend. Just go up there and play with your brother, 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.080 you know what's going there, going down on third down, 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.680 you know, and get those stats and then ride off 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.160 into the sunset with possibly a deep playoff run because 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.080 we've seen that Pittsburgh has has the team and they're 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.440 just missing a few pieces like our running game, but 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.440 that you know that would be a contender. So just 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.400 just go do that. Stand away from detown man and 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.680 let us focus on the interior lignment and our secondary. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.200 But if you had to choose, if it had to 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.120 come down to it, and would it be what or 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.040 would it be vomb If you had if we had 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.520 to pick a piece to compliment d law and Randy 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.080 Gregory and all that, who who would you get there? 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.000 D Mac? Would it would it be why or would 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.000 it be you? Know von Miller, I would go. I 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.640 would go von Miller because I see, I see the 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.120 guy that we pick up being mostly a third down guy. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.240 I don't see you you snatching Randy Gregory off the field, 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.280 who actually played very good in the run when he 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.320 was in the game, and he showed some very very 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.360 high potential of getting to the quarterback. So you would 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.440 have to be sitting him out all the time for J. J. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:36.040 Watt playing the opposite of d Law. Because aside, I'm 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.080 not listen, I'm not paying no money for us to 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.920 go switch up this man Hall of fame career to 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.679 go switch up this position at thirty two years old. Man, 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.680 I'm going VIONN Miller, letting him rotate in and out 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.800 with Randy Gregory, keep your hunt a million dollar man 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.600 on the field and see how that goes if we 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.679 had to. But like I said, I wouldn't get either 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.280 one of them. And another reason why I brought up 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.679 Von Miller's name is Alden Smith is still someone the Cowboys. 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:07.199 I hear considering bringing back man, And look, I'm just 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.040 I'm just saying before I'd bring back Olden Smith, would 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.560 I would go look into Von Miller speaking of free agents, 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.319 and Danny, you're hitting on another point that you and 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.240 I are are very much in agreement with the Cowboys 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.760 have to fix this into your defensive line. And if 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:28.840 you saw how Vita Vella and Dominican Sue were so 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:33.040 instrumental in helping that Tampa defense dominate the Super Bowl, 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.880 to me, it raises that to my my my immediate 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.160 concern even more, that's where the Cowboys really really really 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.320 should address themselves in free agency. Um for Dan Quinn, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.480 who's whose background as in defenses with the D line. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.840 So you got Leonard Williams of the Giants, Dalvin Tomlinson 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.719 of the Giants, they're both free agents. And then you 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.400 got Shelby Harris of the Denver Broncos, who looks like 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.200 he will not be back with Denver looking at where 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.880 they have spent money all the D line, he may 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.360 be the odd man out there. So I'm looking at 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.280 the interior D line. Those are three guys that if 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.720 I'm Steven Jones and Jerry Jones and Will McClay, I'm 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.880 picking up the phone and seeing what will it take 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.920 for you to come and play for the Cowboys. Yeah, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.719 I would have to agree with you. On that new 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.720 he I mean, I think we got one piece in there, 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.680 and Neville gallible or if he's able to keep it 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.520 going and keep it on the track that he's that 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.200 he's heading on, I think he could be a stud 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.160 in there. But definitely, I mean, you got the names 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.360 you mentioned in free agency, but also the Dominican Sue. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.079 I think he's a free agent as well. And he's 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.439 got a kind of like a mercenary type vibe to 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.480 him and he hops from team the team just giving them, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.320 giving guys his services. So if he can come you know, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.880 you know, relatively not cheap, but if we can get 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:45.320 him to come down here, I mean, that would be 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.320 a valuable piece in there, especially against these pocket passers 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.240 that you know, tend to tear up the NFL. If 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.800 you can get that interior pressure, I mean, that's all 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.440 you need to flush these guys out. And we got 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.960 the athletics as them on the defensive insides to be 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.280 able to contain these guys. So, I don't know, defensive 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.680 defensive them could be a valuable piece for this defense. Yeah, listen, 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:09.120 and to the Cowboys to you know, it's unfortunate that 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.200 they didn't get to have the team that they expected 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.520 to have with Jeral McCoy going out and then the 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.960 emergence of Neville Gallimore. They expected to have some some 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.040 of that type of stuff that they seen from and 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.160 Domin Consue up there in Tampa when they signed Jerald 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.960 McCoy here to the Cowboys, and unfortunately he wasn't able 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.840 to play. So I think that would have shirted up 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.320 a little bit. I would have a healthy Jermal McCoy 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.679 and emerging Neville Gallimore with d Law and Randy Gregory. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.800 I think that would have been, you know, a nice 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:41.040 start to rebuild on our defensive line. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.360 so we had to see what they did with Gerald 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.520 McCoy moving forward. But yeah, Church, I think and Domin 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.240 Consue being in Dallas were helping. It would bring some 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:54.800 leadership to that defensive tackle position. I'm with you. I'm 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.920 a fan of Sue's game. Um, there's been conversations about 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.240 Gerald McCoy coming back. I hope they don't bring Jerald 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.040 McCoy back. He's been injured the past couple of seasons, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.680 and one of the things we've seen here is, guys, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.640 I'm sorry, I like McCoy but he's not what it 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.120 used to be and dealing with his injury history. Last meet, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.120 the Cowboys have put a clause in there, hey man, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.800 if you get hurt, we ain't got to pay you 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.840 he got hurt. I mean they already waited to this saying, 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.960 hey man, we're not sure, and so because we're not 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.160 sure you're gonna be, you're gonna you're gonna finish this 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.240 season healthy. If you get hurt with this injury, we 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.080 don't have to pay for it. And sure enough, man, 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:35.120 it happened. So I would not be trying to entertain 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:39.600 bringing back Gerald McCoy. I'd be looking elsewhere outside the building. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.280 But I'm hearing that they're talking about, hey, all right, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:43.960 hey you can come on back here, and that they're 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.240 planning on it. I just I just wouldn't do that 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.520 with with Jerald McCoy. And we got enough injury concerns 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.719 as is. We got LV coming back from a battling 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.800 with his neck injuries. I mean, we had Sean Lee 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.840 and his history. I mean, it's just so many injuries 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.240 we already have on this def fans bringing back another 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.959 injury prone dude with just I think complicate things. I 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.240 wouldn't bring them back. I wouldn't hold on Church. Church. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.040 Let me tell you something. You know one thing about 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.920 the Cowboys, especially since we've been here, they do not 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.280 mind picking up injured players, all right. That we drafted, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.560 We drafted injured players. Repeatedly. We pick up players that 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.760 are injured in free agency. We continue to do this. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.720 So so keeping Gerald McCoy on the roster, it is 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.079 not believe, it's not impossible. It's actually more likely than 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.120 not that we that we get them on the team 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.080 friendly deal and allowed to have another chance to play 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.920 here in Dallas, if you just going based off the 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.640 history of the guys that we pick up. But what 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.960 he's saying is, let's stop that. So kay, he's saying, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.120 tell you twenty one, let's stop this. We stop with 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:54.160 Tyre Smith. Start there, Start there. We're not talking about guy. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.800 We're not talking about guys under contract. Okay here, we're 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:04.880 not talking about guys under control, purchase speaking about a 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:09.280 guy who's not under contract. Okay, not under contract. It's 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.959 not gonna affect the cat boy. I tell you, man, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:19.680 I don't know what you what a tyrant Doude, I 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.440 got nothing, man, It's a it's a podcast. Man. I 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.040 got nothing personal against Tyren Smith, but the fact is, 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.840 look at the stats. The mayor hasn't been healthy. I 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.480 already said this. It's nothing against him as a player. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.920 I think when he's healthy, he's one of the most 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.160 dominant left tackles in the league. Problem is he ain't 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.160 been healthy. And me being a Cowboys fan and watching 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.560 the games, the frustration of us having to rotate these 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.360 guys in to get murdered over their left tackle and 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.560 you already know that Tyre Smith might not be in 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.720 the game. It's it's it just messes with my mind. Man. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.440 I always have flashbacks of Atlanta and Clayborne getting paid 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.560 because he got six sacks with Tyre Smith was out 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.080 of the game. I just have flashbacks of that. I 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.880 don't don't disagree with you, d Mac. I just don't 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.520 see us picking up a guy in the first round 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.520 for the offensive tackle. I just you know, that's a lot. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.720 That's a lot, man. But John, I just want you 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.200 to remember, man, the best years. Listen, you got paid 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.240 to go to Jacksonville because of some of the great 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.600 years when they were able to run the ball, control 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.240 the clock, and you were known for having a dominant 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.160 offensive line. Y'all were out there on defense and y'all 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.280 got picks, interceptions, and fumbles because teams were playing from 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.640 behind with not much time on the clock. This is 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.560 the way to win. And we had first round talent 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.560 at almost every position on the offensive line. So I mean, 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.040 if you think back to this is the way to success. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.600 Like like we talked about with new he look at 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.160 the tackles cost Kansas City the game. So I mean 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.040 it's not like it's it's outlanders for us to say 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.240 we need to get healthy at the tackle position. Get 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.280 you want in the third round, man, Yeah, that's what's 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.240 gonna get you to the Super Bowl. Third round tackle, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.640 and that's what it is, because that's not what helped 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.080 us the first tuble. Fourth round quarterback. Hey, you never know. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.760 David Backtr, David Baktr might be the best left tackle 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.400 in football right about now and he's a fourth round pick. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.920 I look at this team. First off, what Kansas City 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.960 ended up with, it's not even close to what Dallas 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.080 is in the Kansas City had to put a guard 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.600 at tackle, and then the Mike Rhymers, the other guy 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.080 that they put out their tackle DeMarcus Ware already told 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.240 you he ate him up in Super Bowl fifty. This 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.800 is Super Bowl fifty five because this was an aging 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.920 and an old guy at tackle. I thought it was 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.840 the let me finish, let me finish ahead. You got it, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.160 You got it. You had two dudes who were overmatched 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.280 from day one. And let me say this for those guys, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.120 I watched Andy Reid do something that was his atrocious 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.000 is what we saw Scott linehan due in that Atlanta 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.280 game against Adrian Clayborne. You didn't help these guys. You 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.119 got dudes out here who are getting smoked, and you 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.359 still want to throw forward five receivers out here and 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.080 call your plays. No, you may have to just send 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.080 out two guys. You may have to be able to, 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.399 you know, but you don't send out. You don't just 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.760 sit up here and let these tackles go go Minor 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.040 a model. They got eight a lot. So I don't 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.879 get why these offensive dudes Andy Reid, Eric p Enemy, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.840 Jason Garrett Scotland, and why is Kellen Moore? Why are 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.920 you sitting here not giving your tackles help when they're 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.480 getting killed and your quarterback is running for his life. 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.640 So you can send three, four or five guys out 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.800 of the receiver path. Helped me understand that because I 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.040 don't get NEWI NEWI you know you know about to 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.359 get you with this one man, because there's two things 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.280 you just said. All right, you mentioned de Marcus Ware 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.960 eating up a offensive tackle. You're talking about Hall of 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.119 Fame de Marcus Ware talking about a tackle that he 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.720 ate up in the Super Bowl. How many tackles has 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.280 he been has he taken it advantage of in his career? 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.399 So that's not really saying much like we got guys 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.840 out there like DeMarcus Ware, who's gonna be able to 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.920 do that. It was probably easy for him because he's 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.840 de Marcus Ware number two. Yeah, they moved to guard 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.880 outside to tackle. What is your playing again? Oh it's 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.520 Connor Williams who's playing guard currently moving out to tackle. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.720 This is a recipe for disaster in Kansas City. Showed 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.960 you why we shouldn't be knowing that getting that though, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.040 because Timer's gonna be healthy, man, Time's gonna be healthy. 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.800 Lyell's gonna come back from his surgery. He gonna be 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.879 healthy as well. I hope, so touch into this. We 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:39.240 don't even tell you Church, Church, Church. You have to 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.920 you have to go back and look at the history 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.919 of Tyree and this is where Danny has has a 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.520 legitimate be guys gonna miss four games. Okay that you 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.560 go back the last four years. That that's that's that's there. Okay, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.520 that's there. Um my thing with Connor Williams. Okay, let's 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.200 remember what they drafted Connor Williams. Connor Williams at the 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.800 University of Texas was all American left tackle. They decided 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.080 to put him at guard. I think he could be 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.679 a better left I think you'd be a better tackle. 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.000 I am not opposed to drafting a tackle. Let me 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.160 make sure I say this. I'm not opposed to it, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.760 but I'm not I am opposed to it in rounds 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.320 one and two because your defense is so bad that 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.159 you need to address that defense and you need to 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.400 address the d line in one of these positions up here. Okay, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.880 they're going to be tackles in the third fourth round. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.840 Eric Williams, one of the great left tackles and Cowboys history, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.359 was a third round pick from an HBCU. Okay, you 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.360 can go Lyle College your current tackle. What even drafted, right, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:44.760 Come on, don't don't do that. Don't do that. Don't 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:51.200 do that. I don't really count. Come on, man, Okay, 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.359 but you can twist it. You can twist if you 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.600 want to. I'm just saying, okay, I'm just saying, all right, 0:19:55.600 --> 0:20:00.320 so I am not opposed at number two, number ten, 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:05.480 I'm not drafting a offensive tackle. I need help on 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.199 this defense. It is going to be somebody for the 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.480 front end of my defense or the back end of 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.240 my defense. Okay, that's what I'm doing. In rounds one 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.600 and two. You get a tackle laid on the man 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.439 if that's good. But I'm not a dude in the 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.320 first round. And by the way, guess what if you 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.680 sign that we keep talking about this, if you signed 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:31.520 Dak Prescott, you are going to have limited funds to spend. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.600
