And we're gonna hit 23 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: all three of those throughout the segments, and initially in 24 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: the rundown that I sent out to you guys, I 25 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: had the good first. I wanted to start off on 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: a positive show. I don't think we can now, I 27 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: don't think we can do that magic carpet. We're gonna 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: talk about the carpet that was ripped out from underneath 29 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and that involves Randy Gregory. Gregor, at 30 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: least earlier this morning, thought to have agreed to terms 31 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys in a very not ludicrous, but 32 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: a very large deal, I should say, got his money, 33 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: got his bag, and he looked like he was coming 34 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: back for the Dallas Cowboys. But Rob Phillips as of 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the last oh, this is mere pulling up to Rob 36 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: pie Island. Yeah, Randy Gregory's going to Denver? What he's 37 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: going to? The Denver Broncos apparently tap those brakes, right, spirt. 38 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: So we're taping this at eleven thirty three Central time, 39 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: and literally I think about eleven twenty five am Central time, 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: we're finding out that Randy Gregory's apparently going to the Broncos, 41 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: not to the Dallas Cowboys. I'm literally just pulling up 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: to the Star right now and hearing that this is 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: going down. So I'm I'm still trying to get some 44 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: information on what happened, because as of I don't know, 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: about an hour or two ago, he wasn't done, but 46 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were working on language and trying to trying 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: to iron things out and finish it up. That's that 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: was my understanding. And now, I mean, the Broncos are 49 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: putting memes out on Twitter that they've got Randy Gregory. 50 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at right now. I mean, you 51 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: wanted Pee Island. That's what he not a fun play. 52 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned how we were at eleven thirty three, it 53 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: was like eleven twenty nine, and then hekma looked over 54 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: at the screen that's got NFL network on and he 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: just had the most dejected look on his face. Well, 56 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: I thought it was wrong. I thought it was a 57 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: type yeah, and uh it's not. And well let me 58 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: just start from where I was. I mean, every the 59 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: media is backtracking on it. Now is backtracking on this. 60 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Everybody had it though, Yeah, everybody had it. S I'm 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: looking at the tweet from Schefter right now, Cowboys are 62 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: resigning Randy Gregory because the agent put it out there. 63 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Exact money, Yeah, but now it's the same money, same deal, 64 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: different place. It is Ultimately what it is, this is 65 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 1: a yeah, this is uh yeah, that's that. There had 66 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: to be some type of language in the contract something 67 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: I was. I was on my way in here to 68 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: just talk about loyalty and you know, and you know, 69 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: the organization showing loyalty to you and then you in 70 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: turn showing that loyalty back. I didn't, honestly, Isaiah, I 71 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: didn't understand the contract from his standpoint because I'm looking 72 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: at other guys signed bigger deals, and I'm saying to myself, like, 73 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: wait a minute, that is definitely a hometown deal for 74 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory to the Dallas Cowboys, and that says thank 75 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: you for staying down with me and believing in me. 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: But this flip flop over to Denver, obviously without pe 77 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: telling us exactly what the language should have. What was 78 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: that's in the contract that obviously flip flopped him at 79 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: the last minute. I'm shocked. I'm shocked, I really am so. 80 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: I just want to see what it is. But of 81 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: all the free agents that we had, Randy Gregory was 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: tops amongst the guy that you wanted to bring back 83 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: because of his freaky athleticism, his ability to hunt the quarterback. 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: And now it feels as though we are a sort 85 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: of back too. I know we got Tank we gotta 86 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: talk about, but in a way, I think Tank kind 87 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: of solidified himself on one end as a run stopper 88 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: and not so much as a guy that's, you know, 89 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: after the quarterback, which he can do that as well. 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: I want to take that away from him. But man, 91 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: I'm shocked. I think everybody is who I think everybody is. 92 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: Way to go, Denver. What are your thoughts, Isaiah? They 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: needed him? I agree they really needed this one hurts. 94 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm happy for Randy Gregory as a person. Let's just 95 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: get that out of the way. Got his bag overcame something. 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: The story is still there. I still love Randy. He's 97 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: still the guy. I wish he was a Dallas cowboy though. 98 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: That's what hurts is I wish he was here. I 99 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: wish he would have stuck with the initial thought process. 100 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at a tweet from rap report and 101 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: of course this is all just reports, but understanding insisted 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: on contract language. Dallas did that Gregory did not like 103 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: protecting themselves. So he heads back to Denver. Yeah, and 104 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: it's it's all gonna come out now because the agent's 105 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna well, you know, people are gonna be contacting. They're 106 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna yeah, yeah, so Lang, which matters, it does. Sorry, 107 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to come No, you're good. I just 108 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: I just they needed Gregory. They needed Gregory more than 109 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: they needed d Law. And it's it's nice that they 110 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: have d Law, but they needed Gregory. I will say 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: that d Law was a want, Gregory was a need, 112 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: and they got it backwards. Is it because of what 113 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: Heckma just said, the pass rushing ability from Gregory as 114 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: opposed to the run stopping ability from Lawrence? I think 115 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: Gregory dropping down from twenty million dollars a year down 116 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: to ten million dollars a year. I think he asked 117 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: him acknowledging Lawrence. Yeah, d Law. That's sorry, d Law 118 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: making that adjustment in the contract. Wise, he understood where 119 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: where he was at. You know, he had he had 120 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: to come to Jesus moment, and he had acknowledged that, hey, 121 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: this is where I am uh and this is what 122 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: my market is, and he took a deal that was 123 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: bole to both him and the team. Gregory's deal needed 124 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: to get done because now you don't have Gregory. Now 125 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: you have to go get an end. You have to 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: go get a rush in. And not only do you 127 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: have to go get a rush in, its like, do 128 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: you get a dominant rush in and spend that same 129 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: money that you're going to spend on Gregory or do 130 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: you spend that money that you're gonna spend on Gregory? 131 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: Go'll get you a B. Wagner and and get somebody 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: who can compliment d law right instead of But one 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: of the two things have to be. You have to 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: get a dominant player art getting somebody else. You have 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: to get a goon. You have to get a goon 136 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: at the defensive and position or at the mic linebacker position. 137 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: One of those two. You can't just have okay guys 138 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: at both Michael Parsons to Marcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory only 139 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: played one hundred and forty snaps together this past season. 140 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: In those one hundred and forty snaps, their yards per 141 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: play yards per a tent and QBR allowed would have 142 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: led all thirty two NFL teams in those one hundred 143 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: and forty snaps. Yeah, so they're good on the field together. 144 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: And you know, remember we had this conversation about who's 145 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: getting on the magic Micah bus, right, who's the magic 146 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: who was getting on the bus. And we know Michael 147 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: Parsons is on that bus already. We already said Trayvon Diggs, 148 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: all right, now Tank is on that bus. Now I 149 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: think they're obviously we want to have curse. These are 150 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: guys that are standing on the outside that we're waiting 151 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: to get on. But still this defense, even with everything 152 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: that's happened in the off season, everything that's beginning to 153 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: happen free agency wise, you gotta start to see where 154 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: this team isn't getting any better on both sides of 155 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the ball. You've lost a key contributor on both sides already. 156 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper's gone. Yeah, then now Randy Gregory is gone. 157 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: And so that's that's a that's gonna be that's gonna 158 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: be big shoes to feel for a team no matter 159 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: what that's looking for playmakers and we've just lost basically 160 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: a big piece, a big cog in that and that 161 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: will the Cowboys were prepared to sign Gregory to what 162 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: was the what was the money? It was over five 163 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: but it was really a two year, twenty eight million 164 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: dollar deal because all of the money was already precent guaranteed. Yeah, 165 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and there was an out after the two years. I 166 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: wonder if that's the change between Denver and Dallas. I 167 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: wonder if Denver came in and say, you know what, 168 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: that's really a two year deal. They're kind of protecting themselves. 169 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna just we're gonna make sure that this is 170 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: a five year deal for you. It could be that 171 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: could be the change, or it could be more upfront money. Yeah, 172 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: something like that. Um, but that's interesting because you know, 173 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: like with Michael Gallup's deal, and we'll get into Michael 174 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: Gallup resigning as well. It's been a busy a few days. 175 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of like essentially a two year deal. 176 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: If you really want to drill down on it. Tank 177 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: is a two year deal too, technically, Yeah, so, but again, 178 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: but they're still they were still willing to pay Gregory 179 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: a nice chunk of change, and they're gonna have to 180 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: bad contract. I mean, Von Miller's out there. Our mail 181 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: back question today is a Darius Smith like how how 182 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: active are they going to be and trying to get 183 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: another guy to to Isaiah's point, because man, that you 184 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: thought you had your your your edge rushing duo intact 185 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: and now it's it's yeah, I'm with you. They're gonna 186 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: have to do something, I think, unless they want to 187 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: make it the top priority in the draft, which that's 188 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: not how they operate. They operate by covering themselves before 189 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 1: the draft and not being I mean, I wouldn't be 190 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: surprised if they go out and sign a wide receiver 191 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: at some point too. Even though you know they lost um, 192 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, you think, oh, well they'll draft a guy, 193 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, a handful of receiver. They got a lot 194 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: of things to do, They got a lot of Yeah, 195 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: they got a lot of holes to plug. And it 196 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: seemed like they were on the right track in terms 197 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: of obviously, um, you know, securing Gallop and you know, 198 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: they made their move with Coop, which we knew was 199 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: going to come down to that, and we didn't know 200 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: what they was going to trade them. We thought they're 201 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: gonna just get released, but they were able to trade 202 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: away Coop and it seemed like, you know, we're hearing 203 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: rumors about their ability to hopefully try to bring curse back, 204 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: and it seemed like they were you know, they got 205 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: d laws like Okay, they made it friendly to their 206 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: cap and you know, we're gonna made it him happy, 207 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, these boys is they making some 208 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: some moves man, as well as making some cap space 209 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: right and now who that rug just got pulled out, 210 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: that road got pulled out. Now they're in a situation 211 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: where I think they're gonna have to sign it, you 212 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: know with Zadarius, Yeah, somebody like that. You have to 213 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: get him. You have to get a Bobby. You got 214 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: to get a big, a big name like that on 215 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: that side of the ball that is a leader, that 216 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: is a leader and has a motor and has proven 217 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: in this league. And that's it. And it is such 218 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: a player that when you play an opposing team, they say, hey, 219 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: you better freaking get this dude under control otherwise to 220 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: erect the whole game. And I think coming into today 221 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: you felt okay, even this morning, you felt pretty good 222 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: about what things were lining up to be because you 223 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: were putting yourself in a position to get your key 224 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: pieces back and then also have a run at a 225 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: potential couple names down the road that can make an 226 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: impact in their own right. You only had lost guys 227 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: like Cedric Wilson. That's that's we kind of expected that 228 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: he was going to go get that back somewhere. William Connor. 229 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: Williams was gone to the Dolphins two years, fourteen million 230 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: for for Connor row number two, which both both guys 231 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: were not expected back now. Cedric, because and I've been 232 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: saying this, he was gonna get a nice deal. I 233 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: didn't think he was to get it the first day 234 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: of free agency, but he got it for him Connor, 235 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: I think they were looking to change that left card 236 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: position exactly. I think really the only thing we were 237 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: surprised about, or that we were upset about, was Amari Cooper, 238 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: and even then we had expected it. It wasn't really 239 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: a surprise that he was surprised by d Law. Honestly, 240 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: I was. I thought it was a pleasant surprise. Yeah, 241 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise, I thought. I mean, and Coop was 242 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: I knew, we knew that Coop wasn't going to be 243 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: back here. You wanted some kind of competence, compensation. Didn't 244 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get conversations. You got a little bit. Yeah, 245 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: they got something. So kudos of them for not just 246 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: releasing him. Right, They got some value for him. So 247 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: if you were going to make that move, now, let 248 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: me standing. I did not want Coop to leave everybody. 249 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Everybody okay, cool, So I just want to make sure 250 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: that people don't take the twister around. But if you're 251 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: not that, you're gonna lose him. Minus will get something 252 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: for him. Great job. They got some value there. Awesome, Okay, 253 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: but they lost it right now. That receiver room is 254 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: looking thin, scary, it's very scarce, and you're gonna have 255 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: to go grab a veteran like Landry because who's leading 256 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: that room. You gotta go grab a Landry. You gotta 257 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: grab somebody that's that's proven, not necessarily has to be 258 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: a necessarily a dog, but a contributor that is a 259 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: proven leader in this league, because otherwise that room has 260 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: no leadership. It's gotta be Ce Lamb and Michael gall 261 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm thinking. No, no no, no, before 262 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: you do the mic flip, no, I mean Michael Michael 263 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Gallas for this fifth season, you know, and they just 264 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: paid him sixty two millions. He's got to be a leader. 265 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: CD's your guy now, right, But got stuff. But at 266 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: some point we're gonna have the Ceede Lamb conversation. We're 267 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: gonna have a real conversation about Ceedee Lamb whether he 268 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: can be the number one. We're also going to have 269 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: to start having a real conversation about Kellen Moore in 270 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: his offense. This is a real conversation that has to 271 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: be had going into twenty twenty two. So that way, 272 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: we can't deal with any what the alternate facts are, 273 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, fake news going on with our team, because 274 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: we're dealing with a lot of that right now. You 275 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: talk about the rug being pulled from under us, that's 276 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: all that was. Let's talk about d Law and the 277 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: deal that he that he signed. Come to Jesus moment 278 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: a reality check to go from nineteen million dollars to 279 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, dude, And not just that, but you 280 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: cut his cap hit for twenty twenty two in half, 281 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: which and I just had this conversation upstairs, like, well, 282 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: that's why they should have tagged Randy Gregory, That's why 283 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: they should have given him the franchise tack. No, because 284 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: they didn't want to carry a twenty million dollars cap chart. Now, 285 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: I guess you could have tagged him with the expectation 286 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: of trying to get a long term deal done. It's 287 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: not guaranteed when you tag somebody, just like Dalton Schultz, 288 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: is not guaranteed they're gonna get a deal done with 289 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: him before July fifteen. No, that's why they probably didn't 290 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: want to do that. But that's why that's why Tanks 291 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: deal is so big, because now you're opening up some cash, 292 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: some space to get some other things done. They want 293 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: to get jay Ron Curse done. That's another guy to 294 00:14:54,080 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: watch for the next day to the show. If it's 295 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: by the end of the show, I wouldn't be surprised. 296 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: He's tweeting out already, thank you God, like he's he's 297 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: sending these these cryptic tweets out there saying like something's happening, 298 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: something's going on behind the scenes. So that's curse Twitter. 299 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: It's just saves everything, it really has. I mean, it's 300 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: the instantaneous that's breaking their own news. You're right before 301 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: with the factor Chine, the dial up tone, all online 302 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: morse code crazy. There's a lot going on. This is 303 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: this is as crazy a legal tampering period day as 304 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: I can remember. All let's do it is real quick. 305 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: I know we probably got go to break he in 306 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: a minute. What was your grade when you walked in 307 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: today with the assumption that Kurse was going to be signed, 308 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: because that hasn't happened, signed Hooker's back, right, and you 309 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: got d law under under favorable contract, and you expected 310 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Gregor to be signed. What was your grade on the 311 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys offseason to part so far? I went being c 312 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: to be with with the expectation of those those guys 313 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: coming in. Okay, so you was at a B. Yeah, 314 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: I was probably like a B minus. I was right there. Yeah, 315 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: I felt I didn't feel good about it, but I 316 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: was okay with it. But it still kind of left 317 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: a lot to be desired on the back end. There's 318 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: still a long way to go until we build this role. 319 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: I was at A based upon what I knew they 320 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: were gonna do with Coop. I didn't obviously I didn't 321 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: like that Coup decision. But if you're gonna get rid 322 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: of Coup, they got valid. I think it's impossible to 323 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: be given a grade. Yeah, I would give I'm almo 324 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: as far as they're what they had in terms of retention, Yeah, 325 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: I would give an A. I was given an A 326 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: because I didn't think that they were gonna be able 327 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: to get both d Law and Greg back on the 328 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: same roster, as well as get Cursed back and Hooker 329 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: and you know what saying. I didn't think they're gonna 330 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: be able to get all these guys batch. So in 331 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: terms of what they're doing up their numbers wise, they 332 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: were doing a hell of a job, right, And then 333 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: it's an A on defense you throw in the Coop thing, 334 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: and so it was a huge well yeah, I mean 335 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: but I would probably I would probably say it be yeah, 336 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: because I you know, I'm giving it an A basic part. 337 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: We knew that Coop wasn't coming back. Yeah, I don't 338 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: like the Coop being gone. No, I mean I think, 339 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: I mean, what would it be now? Who? Yeah, you 340 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: asked the question. I know you knew that. I think 341 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm dropping it down to a B minus because they 342 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: can still they can reverse course, and they can still 343 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: they can still make a big splash at half. I 344 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: came into this with the expectation that they were going 345 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: to make a ginormous splash, like a splash move somebody 346 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: who's not on this roster. And I believe that now 347 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: they even more so have to do that. Yeah, I 348 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: think that's Yeah. I think it's an incomplete because I 349 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: think they still have work to do now, especially to 350 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: be complete until we get to training. But they weren't. 351 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: They were going to focus on their own guys first think, 352 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: and now you lost one, apparently the thing would And 353 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: I have to say this about Coop. I was, I was. 354 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: I was really numb about the whole Coop deal anywhere. 355 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: I told you, I was like, look, man, how we 356 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: didn't figure out a way to use him all the 357 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: time that we had him, and we gave up to 358 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: get him to then trade him away for a five 359 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: or six. It basically said what we thought about him, 360 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: or we gave up all our leverage in the negotiation 361 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: portion of it. It was the leverage and the contract 362 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: were the two biggest things that didn't give him return. 363 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: Teams were scared away by the twenty million dollars a 364 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: year over the next three years. I think I think, 365 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, but I think it was more 366 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: so the fact that teams knew that he was gonna 367 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: be released. I think that into it, sure, I mean, 368 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: and I think the only reason why Cleveland. Cleveland knew 369 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to sign with them if he 370 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: went free. So Cleveland was like, let me beat everybody. 371 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: That's a great point. We got a mail back question 372 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago asking what the Jets do 373 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: it because and it's technically this is not official yet, 374 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna get done. I'm confident of that. Uh, because 375 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: the Jets, who would they sign? Would he signed with 376 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: the Jets? No, so go ahead, and would you give 377 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: up like a second round pick that wasn't going to 378 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: happen because of the contract that that that's that's that's 379 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: why deals like this don't happen that often when they 380 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: do amark for a fifth round pick. Yeah, Cleveland was 381 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: not destination for Mary Cooper. He was. No, I wouldn't. 382 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think he wanted to stay here. That's I'm 383 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: pretty kind. Like he has said over and over again, 384 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: he wanted to stay. He loves Dallas, wanted to stay 385 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: in Dallas. So that's why do you think the rumor 386 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: has any merit to it? What's that him and him 387 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: in that conversation. None, No, no, I don't want to know. 388 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think someone at all. I'm glad 389 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: you asked that question though, because it's out there and 390 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people think it's a real thing. It's 391 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: not a real thing at all. But we can we 392 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: can get into Mary. But but what I was gonna 393 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: say was, I when when I saw what they did 394 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: with Tank, it made me wonder, could they have done 395 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: that with Coop? Should they have done that with Cooper? 396 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: They could have, they could have reworked. Not they to 397 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: do that with Coop? I don't know if they see 398 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if they did. I wonder if they 399 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: just decided, look, we got to save money and we're 400 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna yeah we've got a CD Lamb to fall back 401 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: back on. We don't have that. We don't have that 402 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: at the defensive end position. With what they thought was right, 403 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: who's your starting three receivers opening day? Yeah, that's right now. 404 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: I if Michael Gallup is good to go week one, 405 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: which they're hopeful that he will be Ceedee Lamb, Michael 406 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: Gallop and either an unnamed to be signed free agent 407 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: Semi Phoko. I mean, no, I don't know where we're 408 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: at right now. Signack oh no Brown did sign back? 409 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: No Brown, But but that it won't be that it's 410 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be either a third round, fourth round 411 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: pick or more than likely they're gonna sign I wouldn't 412 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: be surprised if they sign a free agent at some point. 413 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: So we're thin, yes, right now, you're thin in a 414 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver room. Now you're all of a sudden thin 415 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: at edge rusher. Now you're also thin and linebacker thin 416 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: and tight end anymore? Hey, tight end's taking care of No, 417 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: that's part of this thinking, right because he's a pass catcher. 418 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: Like if they are we talking about you got one 419 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: tight end you let Well that's a good point. Okay, 420 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: you're not starting over a tight end now, not starting 421 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: over there? So you thin? Sound fer thin minute? It's 422 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: girl scout month, mint, I don't know, Summer, I don't 423 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: know if it is. I think of a line then yeah, 424 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: well that's part of the fact that you haven't signed anybody. 425 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: All these guys are leaving and you haven't brought in 426 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: anybody else. How much cat space that we have now? 427 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: I think twenty eight million is what I'm looking at 428 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: right now. Available. I think so under that may not 429 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: be completely accurate, but that's what I've gotten here. Okay, 430 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: so my math could be wrong, and that's not taking 431 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: out the Randy Gregory supposed deal right that doesn't include 432 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: Randy on the book set. My point was, if you 433 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: if you move on from Coope, that opens up space. 434 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this right, I'm not. I'm not saying 435 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: it's ripe, but I'm saying it's a quantity thing. You retain, 436 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: you create space for Dalton Schultz, Michael Gallup. It gives 437 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: you more flexibility to fill out your roster. I don't 438 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: like it, but I'm just saying that's why. I think 439 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: that's the decision they made at that position. Extreme distaste 440 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: for them, party ways with Coop. Yeah, well Michael Gallups 441 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: gets a deal done. Congratulations from Michael Gallup. He deserves it. 442 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: He's what you want. You want to be able to 443 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: draft guys. They do well in your organization and you 444 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: reward them. I will say, when I'm looking at these 445 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: other contracts that are being handed out, I asked myself, well, Mike, 446 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: did you not think that you know, where are you 447 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: with your knee? And maybe that's the reason why he 448 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: signed such a favorable deal to the Cowboys because he 449 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: could have went out and got way more money a 450 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: lot of than what he signed for. A lot of 451 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: people were thinking it wasn't a favorable deal whenever he 452 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: signed it, because he signed it so early, and it 453 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: was like even before the legal tampering period even opened 454 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: up free agency officially began that the numbers were kind 455 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: of leaked out there. But like now that you're seeing this, 456 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilsons and Christian Christian Kirk south there and crazy yeah, 457 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: Zay Jones even going back to Jacksonville, if they assigned 458 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: Kirk and Jones those numbers up there, it's like, oh, 459 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: maybe maybe this is a team friendly deal more so 460 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: than we thought initially. I mean, Christian Kurks getting what 461 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: eighteen million from Jacksonville, Amar's was twenty That's why hear 462 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: yourself say what you just said, Christian Kirk got eighteen 463 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: million dollars. That's why free that's coming from an aggy too. 464 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: I love my guy. That's this guy, but that's why, 465 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: that's why, that's why fans look at the AMAR thing 466 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: and guys, fans aren't happy because it's like, Okay, he's 467 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: twenty million. Yes, he's twenty million, but he's a productive guy. 468 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: And and to your point, you're right, they gotta they 469 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: gotta recreate it. No, they gotta recreate the production. Let's 470 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: talk about that when we come back on the other 471 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: side of the break, what's the next step to replace 472 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: some of the guys that are leaving.

We 520 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: were talking in the middle of the break. Jip Jazz, 521 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: you gotta help us out here. Jazz Jazz is running 522 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: in in the back actually doing a fantastic job. I 523 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: want to I want to hear what Isaiah's thought about 524 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: is on the air. I want to hear what are 525 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: you talking about I'm talking about to sign a guy, 526 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: sign a leader in the way. Let me start by 527 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: saying I don't know the man personally, I'm gonna say 528 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start by saying that, However, I don't get 529 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: the sense that he is a leader of men in 530 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: that room, speaking of speaking of Cede Lamb, I don't 531 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: get the vibe that he's leading those guys in terms 532 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: of their ability to overcome adversity, in terms of their 533 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: ability to have a sound mind, in terms of their 534 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: ability to be have emotional intelligence. I don't get that 535 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: vibe from him. Now, he very well made possess those capabilities, 536 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel that. So I feel as if Amari 537 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: Cooper was that guy for the Cowboys. I feel as 538 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: if Amary Cooper was that level headed guy that could 539 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: speak to those guys from a veteran standpoint and say, hey, 540 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: chill out right, or this is a situation, or hey, 541 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: this is where we need to approach this thing, or hey, guys, 542 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: So everybody looks at him and sees that he's calm, 543 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: cool and colle right, He's not spassing out emotionally. I 544 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: don't see that they have that guy in the locker 545 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: room now at that particular position. So when I say that, 546 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: I believe that they need to go out and attain 547 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: a veteran like a Jarvis Landry. Why do you think 548 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry was there in Cleveland with O'Dell. He was 549 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: there to keep him under wraps. He wasn't there to 550 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: be the most productive guy in a So you're calling 551 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry level headed and veteran leaden compared to what 552 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: you have on the roster right now. Yeah, And the 553 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 1: thing is, let's just say Amari Cooper is probably never 554 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: spassed out a day in his life. Just who he is, 555 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: most probably say that he's always the call me voice 556 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: in the room. But I think what you're pointing to 557 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: is more of a maturity thing more than anything else. 558 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: And you've seen guys come into the league that have 559 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: maturity things that they do and then they mature into 560 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: their role. Let's just talk about what Ceedee Lamb is 561 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: carrying on his back, and that's those two aids. And 562 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: with those two aids come the expectation of a whole 563 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: organism Z. And he's in a pressure cooker right now. 564 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. And so he has 565 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: to produce they look he fell in their lap. And 566 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: Kyle had to run from his apartment too, because he 567 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: didn't think there was gonna be a snowball chance in 568 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: hell that we're gonna be able to get cde Lamb. 569 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: But here he is. And look as much as we 570 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: look at Amari Cooper and his face being indifferent and 571 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: not being that passionate leader that we're used to, he 572 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: still top in the league and what he does. And 573 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: I think that's where the fan base is divided. But 574 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: now the expectation falls solely on cd Lamb, and it's 575 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: and it falls solely on Michael Gallop. And you've had 576 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: those sample sizes in games where you've relied on them 577 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: and you didn't get the production that you were thinking 578 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: that you could. So when you say the room is 579 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: thin and you need a proven leader, I believe I 580 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: can trust that I could go to the bank with that. 581 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, this team, you're gonna have 582 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: to let your young guys at least have a peek 583 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: a chance at being that leader. A couple of things 584 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: to piggyback on that point, because you've spent not only 585 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: is he carrying the eighty eight, you spent the seventeenth 586 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: overall pick on CD Lamb. At some point, a seventeenth 587 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: overall pick needs to be the number one receiver. He's 588 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: got to be your wide receiver. One. You didn't spend 589 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: a middle first round pick on a guy who's going 590 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: to be a number two or number three the entirety 591 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: of his career. Second point, Michael Gallup's getting sixty two 592 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: million dollars, I mean he's getting the bag. He got 593 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: the bag not to be a number two or number three. 594 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: He needs to be a one A or one B. 595 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: You have those two guys there. I have no argument 596 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: against anything that either one of you guys are saying. 597 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: In order to be a number one doesn't mean that 598 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: you have to be a leader. No, you're You're right 599 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: on that. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking 600 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: about production. I don't question either one of their ability 601 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: to produce on the field. I'm talking about a leader. 602 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about what I'm supposed to be the quarterback 603 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: that you just paid one hundred and forty billion dollars. 604 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: In the room, though, in that room, in that room, 605 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: when the when in that room, when Dak's not throwing 606 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: accurate balls and the velocity is falling off and things 607 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: aren't going their way, and they both in CD's throwing 608 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: a hissy fit because he's mad and the balls not 609 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: coming his way. Be a bad body language. Who's there 610 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: to say, hey, hey, lock it up. You don't have that, 611 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: You don't have it anymore. So if that's going to 612 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: be your leader out there that has bad body language 613 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: and who I don't know. As being said, I could 614 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: just go off what I see, right, and it doesn't 615 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: when when things aren't going well, you can visually see 616 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: that he is angry about it. You can visually see 617 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: that he's that he's up in arms about it. Who 618 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: is in that room now, who's sitting on that bench? 619 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: But we don't have any proof that Amari was actually 620 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: that guy that we do not agree. We have nothing 621 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: but assumptions. We have nothing but assumptions, absolutely, And there's 622 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: also not any proof that anybody you bring in. You 623 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: could go sign at James Washington. I know that name 624 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: has been kind of floating around out there as well. 625 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: You could go sign somebody like that, and it doesn't 626 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: mean that they're going to come in and be that 627 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: guy either. Know, everything is a hope in this league 628 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: everything in this league is hope. No. And that's but 629 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: that's why, like part of me thinks I understand why 630 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: there did it. I understand because at some point you 631 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: got to make these decisions with the cap and I 632 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: don't think it's so much about his personality and he's 633 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: not you know, yeah, all that's with a Mari Like 634 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: they did not touch his contract last year to give 635 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: themselves the option to do this. Yeah, they knew coming 636 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: up in the twenty twenty two this could be an issue, 637 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: but it doesn't. If Michael galluper healthy, I'd feel better 638 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: about it. He's not healthy right now. And so to 639 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: your point, they are thin at the position and you're 640 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: asking Ceede Lamb to step up into that role. I 641 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that because he's seventeenth overall 642 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: pick and he's been to the Pro Bowl. Like that's 643 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: kind of the nature of the NFL and this cap 644 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: y can't keep everybody together. You gotta have guys step up, 645 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: and so I see why they did it from that standpoint. 646 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: But you're not better without Amari Cooper. No, you're not. 647 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: Just let me just say this, like I'm a sucker 648 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: for a magic trick, you know, I love a good 649 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: magic trick, Like Randy Gregory just pulled on the SAP. 650 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, David Blaine has the best. Yeah, levit Ac, 651 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: pick a card, shuffle them. You can't guess where it is. 652 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: Like every single year we get caught up in the 653 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: magic trick of this team is better because we did 654 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: made this move in free agency, or we did this 655 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: in the draft, and we come right back to the 656 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 1: table saying all right, this team is better. All right, 657 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: But now in the offseason, I'm here and Steven say, well, 658 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: we had we thought that last year's roster was going 659 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: to propel us to the Super Bowl. I don't know 660 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: if coming off of the twenty twenty season any of 661 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: us in this room thought that. I thought, hey, we 662 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: could be leaps and bounds better. We can get a 663 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: shot at the NFC East. But even playing in the 664 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: NFC Championship, that seemed like a stretch throughout the season 665 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: we're following falling for the But now in the tailpipe 666 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: right now, and I'm just I just want to call 667 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: it out and let's be real about it, because how 668 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: did we get better with that move? How did we 669 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: get better by letting said go now with the pieces 670 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: that we're losing, all right, And so if we're saying, look, 671 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: we're just gonna go in free agency, we're gonna get 672 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: some guys in free agcy, we're gonna go into the draft. 673 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: How much you were just asking who's going to be 674 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: the starting receivers? Can the starting receiver next year take 675 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: that production that Amari Cooper had. I think he did 676 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: like eight hundred in something yards last year, nine touchdowns, 677 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: seventy eight catches, seventy eight catches. Is that guy gonna 678 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: have seventy eight catches to replace that production? Another question too, 679 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: is without his presence affect that as Dalton Schultz get 680 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: the production he got. I think he's I think he's 681 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: a very good young tight end. But like that's I 682 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: think he benefited from that too. I think that's another 683 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: question asked. And Ceedee Lamb benefited from having Amari Cooper 684 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: on the field, and Michael Galla benefited from having a 685 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper A little different. When you're a number two 686 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: receiver here, you're not better and Coop for my next trick, well, 687 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, And that's that's where frustration from the fan 688 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: base comes, right that, like on paper, someday or not, 689 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: as it looks like they're headed towards a roster that's 690 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: not gonna be as talent. It's certainly not going to 691 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: be because but but that's why that playoff loss stunk 692 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: so much, because everybody knew this was not And I 693 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: think even if it were a similar roster and it 694 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: was similar in talent, you wouldn't fall for the magic 695 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: trick anyways, because you still didn't make it that far. 696 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: You still didn't go that far, even with a talented 697 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: roster and everything that you felt like was lining up, 698 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: and you still didn't make it to an NFC championship game. 699 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: You didn't make a push to the super Bowl. Because 700 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: of that, I think you could have brought back all 701 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: of these guys and then hit on four of your 702 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: draft picks and you start fourteen and oh, fifteen and oh, 703 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: and fans are still gonna be like winning the playoffs, 704 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: find a way to win in the postseason, because the 705 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: fan base's the same thing. We haven't sniffed the NFC 706 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: championship in twenty six years. You haven't got there. You 707 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: want to win the NFC East. I could tell you 708 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: based off of the moves that the other teams wire making. 709 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: We're gonna win the NFC East again. You'll see the 710 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: T shirt in the grocery store. Hey, why chap malanners. 711 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: They're they're firing up. They've got Carson went stop, just 712 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: go on. You've been serious. If that's where we're like, 713 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: people are sitting there gonna wait a minute, dog, how 714 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: do how does that get us to a super Bowl? 715 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: Because we see the difference when when it was championship time, 716 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: they had an Aaron Donald to get a sack, They 717 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: had a Von Miller to get a sack. They had 718 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: an Odell Beckham that carried that first half before the 719 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup got warmed up. They had all of those pieces. 720 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: Where are our pieces? No reesus? Just say, dog, is 721 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: we're at that point where you have to start asking 722 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: the tough question, how do we make it better? I 723 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: don't lean on them. I don't lean on them. I 724 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: don't lean on Hope. That's not something that I rest on. 725 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: You know. I think that the big moves have to 726 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: be made. And I think the move today or like 727 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: thereof the rug pool hurt that hurt man and anybody 728 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: that's that's out there saying, oh I know Kyle you 729 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: know the whole draft, and and you know some of 730 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: the young talent. But I don't put expectations on Ricky's 731 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: like that. I don't care whether they're especially unless they're 732 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: a top ten pick. I don't put expectations on I'm 733 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: going to come in and just be a beast and 734 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: be a microL Parson. No, I don't. I don't. That 735 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: was the exception. Not Yes, absolutely, by every sense of 736 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: the imagination. Also, the rug pool today with with Randy Gregory, 737 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. It took when we had the 738 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: draft show earlier and we expected Randygory on the roster. 739 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: When we recorded, we were talking about and we said 740 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: edge rushers off the board early. Now it's right back 741 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: on the board now if he's not available and you 742 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: don't go get a guy you're talking about maybe an 743 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: address four. Let's answer this question. If you had to 744 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: make one big splash signing what position edge rusher At 745 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: the moment, edge usher, I would say edge rusher or 746 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: interior offensive line. Those would be my two. Because I 747 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: still feel confident you can find a receiver in the draft. 748 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: I know you're talking about leadership, and that's that quality. 749 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: I think the signings of Michael Gallup and then the 750 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: elevation of of CD Lamb. That's got to be your 751 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: leadership in that room. Now those two guys for the 752 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: next couple of years, that's your core. Go get a 753 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: young receiver that can learn underneath those guys. That's where 754 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm at. I'm counting on the draft for the line stuff, 755 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: at least the interior part of it. I don't know 756 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: if I don't know if it's the first round, but 757 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, what what's the free agent landscape at that position? 758 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: You know, there's a couple of Harts out there, there's 759 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: a couple of guards out there. If you wanted to 760 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: go get a veteran guard and draft your center, if 761 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: let's say Tyler linder Bomb's there at twenty four, sure 762 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: that I would be ecstatic by that. Actually, if you 763 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: went and grabbed a guard and then had your center 764 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: there and take take the center, or if you take 765 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: your guard and go sign a veteran center, either one 766 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: of those. But I would rather make a splash signing 767 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: at one of those positions or at edge rusher, which 768 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: one you choose, to know you got big one edge rusher, 769 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: because I don't know who else is there other than tank. 770 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 1: You're going edge edge. Yeah. And the reason I'm saying 771 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: edges because you you lose a dynamic on your defense 772 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: that allows you to get aft to the quarterback. We 773 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: lost that. And I know Michael Parsons is special, but 774 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: we play him all over the place. So if he's 775 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: there are games we have him in the middle. There 776 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: are other games that we have mid edge and we 777 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 1: bump tank down. Now you don't even have that dynamic 778 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: anymore because you need tank coming from off of the end. 779 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I was so excited. I'm gonna go against 780 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: the Green And I think if you're gonna make a 781 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: big splash signing, you're just like making conversation. No, no, 782 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean going back. No. I think if I had 783 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: to make a big splash signing, I know I gotta choose, 784 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: it would be either at the linebacker position or it 785 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 1: would be at the guard. Let's go we have let's 786 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: just gonna have the conversation. I don't think they're gonna 787 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: get do it. I think Bobby might. I mean I 788 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: would love for Bobby to be here. You guys know that, 789 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: but I think Bobby might if they have enough money 790 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: done in the Charger land. I think they're gonna make you. 791 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: You wouldn't know more than anybody. I'm interested in your 792 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: thought process here. Bobby's what thirty one about to be 793 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: thirty two. He's gonna he's gonna still demand sixteen million. Yeah, 794 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: that's fine. Money is still going on. I'm sure he'd 795 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: love to play with the Q. Yeah, but they afford money. 796 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: The money is there. It might be there now, it's 797 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: there now. I mean you can take the same deal 798 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: from Randy Gregor if you add Bobby to this roster. 799 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: It's it's a problem on defense. The problem is is 800 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: how explosive is this offense? Because that for years, that's 801 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: where you've laid your hat. You've laid your hat on 802 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: the ability to move people off the ball on your 803 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: offensive line and turns to your running game. Dak can't 804 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: be successful without a solid running game. Let's just say 805 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: it now, Dak needs a running game, which means you 806 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: need an offense a line that can move people off 807 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: the ball. So you better focus on being able to 808 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: get an offensive line that can go ahead and just 809 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: bullrush people down the field so Z can do what 810 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: he does. So I'm gonna do what he does, I'm 811 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: gonna go with old line. Okay, I'm gonna go to line. 812 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say line. I would love to have a 813 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: big time linebacker, but I'm gonna say old line because 814 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: this team doesn't do anything anything.

But to the discussions that 915 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: we've had in this role, yeah, okay, we thought that 916 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: he was going to be attached to the hip a fossil. 917 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's still not out of the question that 918 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: he's back. Legatron, the greg the leg That was a 919 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: concerning position. Yeah, it still is. There's nobody on the 920 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: roster you talk about. Then they don't have a kicker 921 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: or a punter really at the moment right now, but 922 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: they have a long snapper.

I appreciate their stance. They're saying, look, you 927 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: think you can go get elsewhere. Yeah, go ahead and 928 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: test the market. Let's see what market you had. Come home, 929 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: they come home back. The Rams released their punter today. 930 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: Who was the first team All Pro? Just real quick, 931 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean like five years ago. Remember how just that 932 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: was such a stabilizing section of the roster. Yes, you 933 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 1: had LP, you had Dan Bailey, you had Chris Jones, 934 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: and you just knew who it was. It was just 935 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: never had to worry about it. Now it's you know, 936 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: there could be some change. They were both spots. Oh 937 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: maybe they're about to go back to that because they 938 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 1: have three fifth round picks and there's a shot that 939 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: they go draft the kicker in that fifth round. Exciting 940 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: that's on the table. Oh, that might be the mail 941 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 1: back question for tomorrow. You want me to answer it. 942 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I pop on. I've never done a mailbag, 943 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 1: but I'll do it. Are there some kickers out there? Yeah? 944 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: You like Cameron Dicker out of Texas Dicker the kick. Yeah, 945 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: he should go around the fifth round. Kate Yorke out 946 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: of LSU. He got so excited. Isaiah's beside himself at 947 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: the moment. He's a good kicker. K York who's product. 948 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: He's training up here, all right. Yeah, so they've got 949 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: guys that would be available if he cam Yeah, we'll 950 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: call him Cameron, Cameron Dicker. Now he's on a first 951 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: dame basis. I'm trying to help my man recover over here. 952 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: I got so excited about that. Back the whole show. Anyway, 953 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: they've got a there's a punter from San Diego State, 954 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 1: by the way, who's just a total badass, total badass. 955 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: He's super fun to watch. So uh yeah, I mean 956 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 1: they could go get a kicker and a punter in 957 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: the fifth round and still have an extra fifth left 958 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 1: over man, So you could potentially look at that as 959 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: a possibility. But that's kind of the update as to 960 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: what is happening with free agency at the moment. What 961 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: has been your favorite so far? Let's talk about the 962 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: good stuff, because we've been fifty minutes of this show 963 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: moaning and complaining and talking about what could have been. 964 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: What is the good things that you've seen from this 965 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: free agency period so far, because of course, by the 966 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 1: time we record again next week, everything's gonna change again. 967 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: The good thing, for my stance is what they've been 968 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: able to do with the cap space. Very surprising. They've 969 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: been men. They kudos, kudos to them. I'm obviously I'm 970 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: not happy about the coop thing, but the obviously that's 971 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: the cap space is a positive from them. That's a 972 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: part of it. Aside from the coop releasing, I think 973 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: that they've done a magnificent job in regards to the 974 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: cap and im and that's just as a hand hunts 975 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: nice a little golf clap to those guys upstairs. I'm 976 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: maneuvering money around and messing with the paperwork and the 977 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: lawyers and all that jazz. Magnificent job. They are seventh 978 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now in cap space total cap 979 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: space right this second, they are number seven. Going from 980 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: almost late twenties to seven in a matter of a 981 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: couple of days. Is all right, you know what, man, 982 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 1: I really appreciate some of the other things that I'm 983 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: hearing that they're doing. Guys that they're thinking about offloading. 984 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: I can appreciate that from the front office, you know, 985 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: making moves, not just allowing guys. And I think in 986 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: the past you've seen cowboys just stay around for way 987 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: too long, way past their productive peers. And I don't 988 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: think that this front office is going to stand for 989 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: that anymore. So the best apology is changed behavior and 990 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 1: seeing them change their stands on some guys that they 991 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: were high on. I like to hear it. You know. 992 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: Our offensive line is we're worried about Connor Williams going 993 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 1: to the Dolphins. That's one thing, But look how they 994 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: feel about tearing steel and what I'm hearing about him 995 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: possibly being a starter now at right tackle. I'm okay 996 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: with that. We haven't mentioned Lyle Colin. No, we haven't. 997 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about that? That's what I'm 998 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: talking about that one way or another, doesn't appear like 999 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 1: he's going to be back, whether he's a post to 1000 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: you one cut, whether he's traded. I said last week 1001 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: that I think that you need to bring him back. 1002 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: I still stand behind that. I don't think that you 1003 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: bring him back at the number that he was currently at, 1004 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: that he was at previously. But I think it's gonna 1005 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: be hard to find that, you know. I just I 1006 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,359 Speaker 1: just think it's I mean, I mean, you feel guys 1007 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: feel comfortable about steal and that's that's awesome. Right, he 1008 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: stepped up. But this office a line unless they make 1009 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 1: a big splash I still have question marks. I think 1010 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 1: tackle is a sneaky need. I wanted to talk about 1011 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: this this morning on the Draft Show. But I think 1012 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 1: tackle is a sneaky need because they're worried about his health, 1013 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: they're worried about his longevity and Lyle Collins. They're they're 1014 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: worried about him potentially being Lyle Collins again. And if 1015 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: he's not that, maybe try and shop him. Go out 1016 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: and look where else you can go and see who 1017 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: would take him, sign resign him under something that's more favorable. Right, well, 1018 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 1: he's not, he's not. His contracts still, Well, I'm saying, 1019 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: like pull a d law, you know what I mean, 1020 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,240 Speaker 1: like like you know, like I mean, I've been saying, 1021 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: like why couldn't you try him at left guard? Apparently 1022 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,320 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like something they they palatable want to 1023 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: do that. So now left guards the need to y'all's point, 1024 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: like they got to figure that out. I think Tyler 1025 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: Beyandis is probably gonna be your starting center, but maybe not. 1026 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,399 Speaker 1: Maybe you know, maybe that's a maybe that's a draft need. 1027 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: I think the only way to dress left guard next 1028 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 1: to him, And that's that's the reason why I say 1029 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 1: make a big splash at the left guard position. Right, 1030 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: Connor's gone, Um, kudos to him getting a contract, But 1031 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: like you need a big boy dog. That's the whole 1032 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 1: league knows a defensive line. When they step up, they're like, crap, 1033 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 1: I got this dude, and I look over there and 1034 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 1: I got I got Martin order god dog, and you 1035 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: worry a little bit less about beads. If yeah, you 1036 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 1: put two guys and you say I want him in there. 1037 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 1: Either way you want to pick what either side of 1038 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: beyantas you want to choose, he gonna have help if 1039 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 1: you have a if you have a goon at that position. Right. 1040 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: So that's why I say spending money on the on 1041 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: the guard, and then you then you draft the backups 1042 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: for the for those for the tackle positions. And the 1043 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: only reason Tyler Biadish is not your starting center because 1044 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: I think they would rather just see if the draft 1045 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: board falls to him. If Tyler Linderbaum is there, he'll 1046 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,439 Speaker 1: be your starting center next year. If he's not, it'll 1047 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: most likely be Tyler. Be honest, because I think I'm 1048 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,800 Speaker 1: with you. They would rather upgrade the guard spot and 1049 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: let him play, rather than upgrade the center spot and 1050 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: still have a huge question mark over the guard spot 1051 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,440 Speaker 1: to his left. Does Linderbaum have any flex? Could he 1052 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 1: play guard for you? Not? Really, No, he could is 1053 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: a cent. He's been a center in college. Yeah, you 1054 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: don't want him to do that, Okay, Yeah, he's he's 1055 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 1: too good of a center too. I mean, he'll be 1056 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: a starter wherever he goes. And I think the value 1057 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: is in a guy that's can be flex There is 1058 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 1: value in that. But that doesn't take away how good 1059 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: Linderbaum is. I'm not trying to take anything away from him. 1060 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying that Beyondest has been on your roster now 1061 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: for two years. This is third year, all right, and 1062 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: I've seen, I guess in my experience where the organization 1063 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 1: doesn't just throw guys away based off of, you know, 1064 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,800 Speaker 1: three years. They still believe that he can become a 1065 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 1: part of the future. And so that's why I think 1066 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: going to the left guard, like you said, it's probably 1067 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: gonna be in their future versus just bringing on Linda 1068 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 1: Bomb and cutting uh. I don't think they would cut him. 1069 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 1: He would be the backup because he's still on a 1070 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 1: rookie deal and he got him in the fourth round. 1071 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: It's not like he's eating up a massive amount of 1072 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't see them going away from beyondih. I mean, 1073 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any games that we can 1074 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: circle and say beyond play like crape. You know there's 1075 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: a couple there's a couple of game you look at 1076 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, he doesn't have the reps and he 1077 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 1: still needs to get his eyes right and all those 1078 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 1: type of things that strengths all those kind of things. 1079 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: But I don't think there's not any games where you 1080 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: just say this dude just getting his butt kicked the 1081 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: entire dog on game right Stepford, the freaking uh Jones 1082 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: that everybody, but I mean, he destroyed the whole left 1083 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 1: side of it. He was taking everybody out there. But 1084 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: I think at some point Isaiah even got got the 1085 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 1: business from yeah, Chris Jones brab me up the studios. 1086 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: But I think I mean to that point, sign a 1087 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 1: big time left guard, because your most valuable asset that 1088 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: you continue to stand behind us who Dak Prescott yep. 1089 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: So if that's your most valuable asset, then protect the interior. 1090 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: Protect the interior so that he has zero question marks 1091 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 1: and you have to get the ground game going. I 1092 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: go back to this. If they can't run the ball, 1093 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,799 Speaker 1: this offense doesn't go. That's that's been my number one 1094 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: thing for a while. But I guess I was counting 1095 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: on Randy Gregory being back, and as of this taping 1096 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: of the show, he's headed to Colorado. So um, yeah, 1097 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: Harry and Lloyd, it's more That's that might be the 1098 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 1: most disappointing part of this whole thing, other than me 1099 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 1: wanting Gregory to be back and and loving him as 1100 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: a player and loving him as an off the field guy. 1101 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 1: The one thing about Randy not being here is now 1102 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: it opens up the need for edge again. And I 1103 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,680 Speaker 1: said that earlier in the in the in the show, 1104 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: but you thought, at least with him being back, you 1105 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: thought your defense was was looking way better. You can 1106 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 1: go get a line back here, Hey, you can go 1107 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: go get your safeties back. And now it's like, ok, 1108 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 1: are we gonna have enough time to address the offensive line? 1109 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 1: Are we gonna have to use those those resources to 1110 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: go get an edge rusher again? It hurts and you 1111 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,279 Speaker 1: can't and you can't just say, hey, Mica being able, 1112 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 1: because who are your linebackers now? Layton Vanderesh is a 1113 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah, that's what wouldn't totally rule out him 1114 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: coming back, but you're think I think it makes it 1115 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,800 Speaker 1: more likely that he comes back with Randy Gunno Layton Vanderesh, 1116 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: just based off of the money and the allocated dollars 1117 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: on that side of the football. Don't you don't think 1118 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: it affects it? Yeah, that's that's a tough one. I 1119 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,839 Speaker 1: think it does. But but going back to Randy Man, 1120 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: I just look this year. I don't want to confuse 1121 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 1: good with special. I see other teams that have special. 1122 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: T J. Watt He's special, right, the Bosu brothers, they're special. 1123 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,919 Speaker 1: What we're getting is we're getting another guy to fill 1124 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: the role. Now that the deal would have been good 1125 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,799 Speaker 1: for us as a team, but when are we going 1126 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: to get that special guy? It's it's third and eight 1127 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: step up and you and he coming, and we don't know. 1128 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: We don't have that yet, Micah. But he can't be 1129 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 1: the end all to be all, because if that's the case, 1130 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: then teams are gonna do double team him. Who's gonna 1131 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: be our other guy? And we still don't have that 1132 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,879 Speaker 1: guy yet. Mike is your Swiss army knife who's coming 1133 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: from different spots, and honestly, like I mean, I've thought 1134 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 1: Michael was fabulous, but like he benefits from having Randy there. 1135 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: Thank you, Tank there, Tank rushing inside that was that 1136 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: was the beauty of that. Everybody had a had a 1137 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 1: one on one opportunity. So do you would you spend 1138 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 1: money on Chandler Jones? I would. I have to get somebody, specially, 1139 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 1: we gotta get somebody. I gotta get somebody with some bend. 1140 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 1: I gotta get somebody that when when we need it, 1141 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 1: that has a respected official lines they're gonna be going against. 1142 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: And everybody did that for Randy Gregory. They knew that 1143 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: Randy's that's the thing about Randy that made him so special. 1144 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: Dog he'd come off that end and teams have to 1145 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 1: make a decision like call, don't call off side, Please, 1146 00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 1: don't call offside. He's gonna be pissed off. Yeah side, Sure, 1147 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: No they call off side. He's like, I mean, moves galore, 1148 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: I mean answer all of that, man, And you cannot 1149 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 1: duplicate that, Nope, by just saying all we're just gonna 1150 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 1: hear next guy up. I just that's just not where 1151 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 1: we are. Edwarder just tweeted that the Broncos had Randy 1152 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 1: rated higher on their free agent wish list than Chandler Jones. Yep. 1153 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at an article right now where Chandler 1154 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: Jones was looked at by Denver and who said that, 1155 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 1: So hey, yeah, all right, I mean by the time, 1156 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: by the time we reconvene, we'll probably have more answers, 1157 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 1: but right now we don't. We were listening off a 1158 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: lot of questions. If there's something positive, I mean, beyond 1159 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: the tank space that he created with his new deal. 1160 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: I think Malie Cooker's a sneaky good signing because I 1161 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,919 Speaker 1: think he played his best down the stretch and maybe 1162 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: he's your starter and maybe a year removed Heather year 1163 00:58:55,400 --> 00:59:01,320 Speaker 1: removed from the Achilles and he dono news, no news, no, okay, 1164 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: nothing right now. And then I mean, there's really nothing 1165 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 1: else in terms of curse yet and some of these 1166 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: other names you mentioned, lve nothing yet. But I guarantee 1167 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 1: you as soon as we sign off, as soon as 1168 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 1: we sign off here in the next ten seconds, it's 1169 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 1: going to come down.
