Speaker 1: here in the Silver and Blue. Talking about Danny McCray

11
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: and Barry Church. We have one full week of NFL

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: football played in this COVID pandemic, so congratulations to the

13
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: league forgetting it done. We had two games wrap up

14
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: yesterday from Monday Night Football. The Steelers take out the

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: New York Giants in game one, and then the second game,

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos hosted the Tennessee Titans, with the Titans

17
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: ending up winning that game sixteen fourteen. All right, very

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: week one. What do you think and what you think

19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: about the Monday Night games? Last game? Well, first of all,

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start out with this New York, this New

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: York game that they had out there. You know, I

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: thought our offensive line looked bad a little bit during

23
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: that Week one loss against the Rams, But I mean

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: we're nowhere near as treacherous as that New York or

25
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: New York Giants offensive line. Look. I mean, eleven out

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: of sixteen carries for Tae Kwon Barkley, he was hit

27
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: in the backfield. He didn't even get a chance to

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: get to the line of scrimmage to see what he

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: can do. I mean, so that just gives me a

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: more positive light towards this Dallas officive line because New

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: York looked horrendous. And Danny Dimes, I mean, he had

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: his flashing moments. I feel like Jason Garrett called a

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: pretty good game. He kept to steal his off balance.

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: For the most part, it was just the mistakes made

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: by Danny Dimes towards you know they were They had

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: a nineteen play drive and then they got down to

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: the red zone. All he had to do was throw

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the ball away. There was no one open. Yet. He

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: made a rookie mistake in his second year, and probably

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: that was a turning point of the game. So if

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm in my outlook of that first game, it just

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: it goes down to the offensive line play again in

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the trenches. It just looked horrendous. Yeah, same here, uh

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: from last night. I'll tell you this, Pittsburgh is on

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: our schedule and their defense ain't nothing to play with.

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you're not ready to play and

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: you haven't schemed up ways to slow this defensive line

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: down this front seventh, they will eat you alive. So

49
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: we learned a little bit from them. Um, Like you said,

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Danny Downs made a huge mistake at at that nineteen

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: play drive which was which was it just killed? Um?

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I honestly thought it was a good game. I feel

53
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: bad for sake one because if they don't block this season,

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: he won't have many good stats. His games will look

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: very similar to those. He'll be lining up at the

56
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: ex receiver soon just so they can so they can

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: get them some getting the ball in his hands because

58
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line is not blocking on the run. Um.

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: But I thought it was a good game. Shout out

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: to Big Band for coming back, uh, you know, showing

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: showing that he still can do it, and Juju showing

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: that if he if he has a quarterback, then he

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: can still make plays. He doesn't need Ab. So it

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: was good to see see those two connect and big

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: being get out there and make some play. Hey, and

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: I know I don't say this much, but man, man

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: shout out to Toledo. Man. You see the young cat

68
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: out there, I say, Johnson, the wide receiver out there.

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like a young ab out there,

70
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: quick as lightning. So they shout out to Toledo man.

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: They produced sakes and wide receivers. You know. Just I was.

72
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: I was nervous for him, man, because he started off

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: run though. Church. He started off, He started off real rough.

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I was like, man, here we go again. He ended

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: up he ended up pulling it out. Though he ended

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: it up pulling it out all right. For those of

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: you who don't know, Bury Church played football for the

78
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: Toledo Rockets. He doesn't ever talk about his Alba Art

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: love admiration that Danny does for LSU or I do

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: for USC Pembroke. So why is that Church? You never

81
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: you never really broke it down. Pullos man. I'm gonna

82
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: break it down, you know, for the listeners man, because Toledo.

83
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, like I went there. I played safety, strictly

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: safety my first two years. Man, I was a freshman

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: All American, all the first team, All MAC, all that

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: good stuff. And then my junior year they decide to

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: move me to this hybrid linebacker position. It just blew

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: my mind. I mean, I felt like I was playing

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: great as safety and then they moved me to this

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: hybrid linebacker position. For my last two years, still made

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: all MAC and all that stuff, but it was just frustrating, man,

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: Just just frustrating situation there. But you know, shout out

93
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: to Toledo, man, they do want to hide out there.

94
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: So so you've made at the coaching staff, not the university. Yeah,

95
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm mad that coaches that, and the coaches have not

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: there anymore. So I gotta started showing some more love

97
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: to Toledo. But yeah, they didn't be dirty, man, they

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: didn't me wrong. You know what, Church, I look at

99
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: it this way, despite the adversity, look at what you've

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: done out of it. I mean, maybe it I'm not

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: saying it's a good case, but maybe if it was different,

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: who knows how it would have worked out for you.

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Because you came to a situation with the Cowboys where

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: you were able to make the team as an undrafted

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: free agent. You ended up becoming a starter, and then

106
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: you got that big time, that big time deal out

107
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. So if you're drafted, maybe you don't you know,

108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: maybe it got you. I don't know, man, just it

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: just it just worked out, right, just worked out. This

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: is true. This is very true. I mean ended up

111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: working out in my favor. So I guess I can't

112
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: be too mad. I just know at the time I

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: was pretty hot, and I figured that's the reason I

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: didn't get drafted. So but it ended up ended up

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: working out, like you said, you know, I just it

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: just took me a while to get over it. That's

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: all all right. That Tennessee Denver game, the once brilliance

118
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: of Stephen Gatskovski is gone. And it makes me think

119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: one more time to how Bill Belichick truly understands how

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: to get rid of a football player a year two early.

121
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Because the miss kicks almost cost the Titans the football game,

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: but they end up winning it sixteen to fourteen. That

123
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: that's what my big takeaway out of watching that as

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: a Tennessee's got to get themselves a kicker if they

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: want to go as far as they did last year,

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: and they were one game away from the super Bowl

127
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: last season, losing they actually championship game to the Kansas

128
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Danny, your thoughts on that man? That game

129
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: came on so late. I forgot that it was yesterday. Yeah,

130
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was. It was tough man

131
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: to see that guy missed those kicks. But I'll tell

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you what, the coach still put it on him at

133
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: the end and showed him that he had confidence in

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: him to win the game. And he came out there

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: and he made the field goal. I tell Derek, Henry

136
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: is still a monster. He's going to be a problem

137
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: for the whole NFL and especially in that division. So

138
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: as long as they have him, they still have a

139
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: chance to win that division and be a contender in

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah. I can feel for Gustkowski right there.

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: I mean you could just see the frustration in his eyes,

142
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: his body language after those miss kicks. I mean, he

143
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: was able to go out there and redeem itself for

144
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: the game winner. But you just gotta feel for a

145
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: guy like that. And I'm with you Knui on this point.

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes to show you the genius of

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 1: Bill Bill Belichick, because right now he's looking really smart.

148
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he got rid of Gustkowski, he went out

149
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: there and Shanka Potamus everything. Then he got rid of

150
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who he had a decent game, but he

151
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: didn't look like the Tom Brady of old. And then

152
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: he went and got on a flyer with Cam Newton

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: for you know, Vet minimum. And he looks like a

154
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: genius the way he's out there doing it right now.

155
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: So kudos to Bill Belichick on that one. Hold on,

156
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Here we

157
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: go with Bill Belichick. Okay, would you rather would you

158
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: rather have? I listen, and though we take out they

159
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl last year and all this,

160
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: would you rather have Cam Newton or Jimmy G on

161
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: your team? Right now? Cam Newton? Because they definitely because

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick definitely wanted Jimmy G. That was the air apparent,

163
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: right so you know, he could have been stuck with

164
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy G and Cam Newton could have been somewhere else.

165
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: So as much as he does know, I think this

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: worked out for him. In that case, it's still worth doubt.

167
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't see that bottom lines, It still worked out.

168
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: And for Bill Belichick. You think about nine too Boll

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: appearances and six six Super Bowl wins, it has worked

170
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: out for very much in his favor. So, um, you

171
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: got to get Bill the benefit of the doubt. Absolutely,

172
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: you look at these things, are you gonna miss on something? Sure,

173
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: everybody misses, but he's clearly hit on more than anyone

174
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: that I've seen in my years of covering football. And

175
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: I covered Bill Belichick when I was in Cleveland before

176
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: when the Browns ended up leaving town here. So you

177
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: could have never told me he would have the kind

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: of success that he's had and that he's going to

179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame at that time, and

180
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: they had a really good staff and we can all

181
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: look look back now of how many great players and

182
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: coaches were there with the Cleveland Browns during that era.

183
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing, and I definitely was with

184
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: him most of the time. Here's one thing that I

185
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: took away, especially if you're Cowboy fans. All right, listen up, Okay,

186
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: everybody on the players line right now, listen up. The

187
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys face the NFC West, and they faced the AFC

188
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: North this year. Those teams and those divisions right now

189
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: look really good. Obviously, we saw what the Rams have. Okay,

190
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: the Rams brought that running game back and if they

191
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: can run, that's gonna help make Jared Golf a lot better.

192
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Seattle ended up taking Atlanta to the woodshed that that

193
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: score could have been worse than what it was. Russell

194
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: Wilson Thorne four touchdown passes there. Then you look over

195
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the AFC North and then the Cowboys got to go

196
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. They get Pittsburgh at home. We saw roethlisbergers,

197
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: the three touchdown passes, the dominant defense they had in

198
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore just took Cleveland apart in that football game. So

199
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a couple of teams right there

200
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: on the schedule for the Cowboys that they got to

201
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: really pay attention to because it's not going to be

202
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: easy trying to get to the ten wins. And I said,

203
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna get to so a lot of

204
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: work when you look at those divisions there. But it's

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: still weak one. Okay, it's still week one. The Cowboys

206
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: are like a whole lot of half the league. Okay,

207
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: taking an l and despite as bad as we felt,

208
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: they looked at times. They still lost by three points,

209
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: So that's the bright side of things. Let's dive into

210
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the injuries here, gentlemen. Jerry Jones on one or five

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: three the fans saying that the Cowboys are going to

212
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: address their injuries within house. So cam Irvin was Gotamaniscu's

213
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: gonna miss two to four weeks, got Lake Vanderesh with

214
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a collarbone injury, broke collarbone, he's gonna miss probably six

215
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: to eight weeks. Then he got tight at Blake jar

216
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: went out for the year. Danny, how do you feel

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: about Jerry saying, Hey, we're gonna look in house and

218
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: try and fill these positions, not gonna go look outside first.

219
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean it's smart because the

220
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: guys you know in house have been guys who've been

221
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: through the system, and they're familiar with the coaches and

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: the plays and the schemes, and you know, did the

223
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: weeks go by fast? Right? We're coming up on Wednesday

224
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: where you're already inputting stuff, so it is more difficult

225
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: to go outside and look for a guy who can

226
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: step up and play this week. But I think at

227
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the people who are filling

228
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: in for the long term in this season, which for

229
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: the LV'ST position, I think it'll be a season long thing.

230
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: I think they will have to go outside and find

231
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: somebody to fill that position outside of you know what

232
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: they have now, because I don't see his season long

233
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: replacement in the locker room currently. Yeah, for me, it

234
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: makes me extremely nervous that he's talking about, you know,

235
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: just bringing in the in house guys to help replace

236
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: these dis unit. Now, if there was a healthy Sean Lee,

237
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: then I would say, okay, you know, the linebacker positions

238
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: should be just fine. But with Lve going down, do

239
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: they assume I assume that they're gonna put Joe Thomas

240
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: in there. And nothing against Joe Thomas. I think he's explosive,

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: he's fast, and he can run sideline the sideline, But

242
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: I just don't see him as an every day or

243
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: every down backer just banging in there in the trenches.

244
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: I see him more as maybe at nickel or dime

245
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: type backer or a cover situations. So we'll see what

246
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: goes on in that situation. And as far as the

247
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: tight end goes with Blake Jarwin going down, Dalton Schultz, Yes,

248
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: they say he had a pretty impressive camp out there.

249
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: But the way he performed in Week one, dropping those passes,

250
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's the answer at tight end,

251
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: so we have to who have to usk keep looking

252
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: for that one. But and as far as right tackle,

253
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon or Still who was in there for

254
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins. We know Lyle's gonna come back, maybe any

255
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: these next couple of weeks, But still he grated out

256
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: as I believe one of the worst, if not the worst,

257
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: offensive are starting offensive linemen this week a Biro football focus.

258
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think we can go in house and

259
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: find these solutions, but we're gonna have to try this

260
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Week two's coming around soon. Well, listen to my bad

261
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: say bringing up the pro football focus. I think Zach

262
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: Martin was on that list too, for Yeah, for people

263
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: who didn't perform very well. So listen, they can hold out,

264
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying for a few weeks and

265
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: get LC back and with the tight end, I know

266
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: I would listen, it's Tuesday. I was hard on Monday,

267
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, on the defense and the old line and

268
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: tight end. I think that what happened with Schultz is

269
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: he was thrust into a position and he didn't think

270
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: he was gonna have to be in right, and I think,

271
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, the lights may have been too bright for him.

272
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: But I think this week he'll settle down and he'll

273
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: show us why they said he has such a great

274
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: training camp. So I'm gonna give him another chance this week.

275
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm an lightening up and uh, you know,

276
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: try to feel, you know, a little bit more positive

277
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys going forward. Yesterday was just super frustrating. Danny,

278
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: stay with me right here, because this is where you

279
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: guys come in and help our help the folks who

280
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: tune into the players lunch. How do the Cowboys coaching staff?

281
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: How does the coaching staff and even the teammates, how

282
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: do they get steal In Shultz to raise this game up?

283
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: Because you need these guys this week, So how do

284
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: you get them better? Well? What Church can tell you that?

285
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: You know? So I give you from my experience. Right So,

286
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: when the year that we keep going back to, when

287
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: everybody got hurt, when me and Church were playing, I

288
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: was stressed into a position of you know, having to

289
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: go play starting safety. Well, you know we're not able

290
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: to be on the field as long. Uh, you know,

291
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: with the new CBA. So what happens is when you

292
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: go out there and you're practice, the ones get most

293
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: of the important reps. Then the twos get a couple

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: of reps, and if you're three, you really don't get

295
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: any game reps, right, so most of your stuff comes

296
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: from film. So a lot of times when when guys

297
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: go down and then you put a guy who's second

298
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: string into that position where he hadn't got as many

299
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: reps as the starters got, so some of the stuff

300
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: may look a little new to him and he didn't

301
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: get that experience. And you see that happened with don't shows.

302
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: I know it happened to me, right, So I think

303
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: this week it'll just be a little bit different. I

304
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: think he'll he'll he'll get a little bit more focused,

305
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more attention from the coaches, and I

306
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to pick up his play. But

307
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: it's it's tough, you know, being in being a second

308
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: team or third team and coming in and having to

309
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: fill that starting role when you hadn't really got as

310
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: many reps as the starters. Yeah, and for me, I think, um,

311
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: I think the situation with still is I just think

312
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the coaches have to instill that confidence in him. Um,

313
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: I feel like you know when they watched him, when

314
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: they break down the film, Yes, he's made some mistakes

315
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: and he gave up a sack towards the end. But

316
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I I think as a coach, you should just go

317
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: in there and just be raided him and just kind

318
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: of push him down, like, man, you gotta play better

319
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: than this. You gotta step your game up. Because he

320
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: is a young player, he's a rookie and he's trying

321
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: to figure out the game as he goes as a starter.

322
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: He didn't think he was gonna have to be thrust

323
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: into this lineup this early in the season. So I

324
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: just think the coaching staff can just instill that confidence

325
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: in them. Let them let him know that, Hey, we

326
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: know what you can do out there. There's a reason

327
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: you're you're thrust into this position right now, and you're

328
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: a starter. We believe in you, we trusting you. Just

329
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: get that confidence going in him, and I think he'll

330
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: be able to play a lot better and awfully also

331
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: if you just let him know that, hey, we're gonna

332
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: send help your way. We're gonna have people chipping, we're

333
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna have the running backs chipping. For you on the

334
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: way up for their their patterns or whatever. I just

335
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: think that the coaching staffs needs to just get this

336
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: confidence going in this young man, and I think he'll

337
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: perform a lot better. They're gonna they're gonna send us

338
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: some help. Hopefully the rest of the old line is

339
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: getting killed. If the rest of the old line getting

340
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: is playing like that, there's no way help coming for

341
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: him because they need to show up the inside. So

342
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: hopefully the rest of the old line can perform up

343
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: up up to par and then they can send that

344
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: help over that tune, because like we talked about last week,

345
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: make him tell you that heat unneath the help start

346
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: the game over by helping him. And we didn't do that.

347
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,560

00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage Virtual Home Studios. I'm new re Scruggs, joined

402
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: by Barry Church and Danny mccraige. Both those guys played

403
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: safety with the Cowboys. I'm just merely a reporter who

404
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: talks about them, all right, Late Layton vander esh he's

405
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna miss six to eight weeks with a colic bown

406
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: injury and his rookie Erisensational, ended up making the Pro

407
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, missed seven games dealing with a subinal injury,

408
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones was asked on his weekly radio show

409
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: on one oh five three The Fan his thoughts on

410
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: the possibility that Laton Vanderesh is injury is injury that

411
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: he had a year and a half year ago, nowhere,

412
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: a year ago that was not an injury prone type injury. Now,

413
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: he plays what I call a space collision position. Those

414
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: are linebackers, safety's, tight ends, fullbacks. Those guys collide in space.

415
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: You have injury at those positions of that nature. But

416
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: still it was so rare or so specific to the

417
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: position he was in when he did it. And I

418
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: don't add that talking about his initial neck injury. I

419
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: don't add that to anything. And I don't think any

420
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: more vulnerable one way or the other. The idea of

421
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: having the injury that he's got right now is just

422
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: mad luck. We've seen it and you do see it

423
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: in football. I think he'll come back from it. No,

424
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's injury prone. I think he plays

425
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: a tough physical position and he's going to have injury

426
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: that he deals with, all right. That is Jerry Jones

427
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: on one or five three, the fan of Dallas Cowboys

428
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: flagship radio station, Danny mccraig. Is it just bad luck? Yeah?

429
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: I don't think this makes some injury prone. Uh, you know,

430
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: I think that he plays the position where you need

431
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: really you know, your neck in your shoulders, and he

432
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: just had bad luck to me last year and when

433
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: when he injured his neck the first time. And I

434
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: think that that's just going to be a lingering issue

435
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: for for for him and um in his body parts

436
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: that are above the shoulders, right, so his neck and

437
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff that he uses to shock and uh

438
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: and control people who are trying to come block him.

439
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to hold him back for

440
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: the remainder of his career. So I think that that

441
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: six to eight week thing maybe for the rest of

442
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: the season, unfortunately, because like we said previously, you don't

443
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: want to play with neck injuries and you don't want

444
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: to come back too soon because they could end your career.

445
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: And we had a guy, Davante Holloman who experienced that.

446
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I just hope they take their time

447
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: with him and let him really get healthy before he

448
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: comes back. Yeah, for me, that's a it's a tough question.

449
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't see him as being injury prone just because

450
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: of the injuries that he has to saying that neck

451
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: and that collarbone. I mean, he plays a very demanding

452
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: position where you're constantly banging against you know, three hundred

453
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: pound offensive linemen and trying to shed them off you

454
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: and hitting two hundred and thirty pound running backs coming

455
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: through the through the whole full steam. So I wouldn't

456
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: say he's injury prone, but I will say he just

457
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: lacks door ability. Maybe maybe that's a better way to

458
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: put it. Because if you're playing that position, that linebacker,

459
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta be thirty. I mean you're gonna

460
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: be banging pretty much every single place. So to have

461
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: those soft tissue injuries and that collarbone and the neck,

462
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just not a good sign. Those

463
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: are injuries, like mccrai said, that can linger along. And

464
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: if you're a linebacker in this National Football League, you're

465
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be banging every single place. So to have a

466
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: neck issue or to have a collarbone issue, yeah, it

467
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: might heal up in a couple of weeks. But all

468
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna do is get right back on those field

469
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: and bang and bang and bang some more. It ain't

470
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: like you're a corner or a safety where you might

471
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: hit you know, every once every five plays. I mean,

472
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: if a linebacker're hitting every place, So I just think

473
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's injury prone. I just think he

474
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: has to maybe do some more work on the soft

475
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: tissue injuries, get more adorable because going out there in

476
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: this Mike Nolan system, he's going to be pretty much

477
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: banging every play. So he just gotta get more adorable

478
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to last dro off the season. So, so how does

479
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: a player get more durable? With Sean Lee, who's already

480
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: on injured reserve from it's the first three games for

481
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This is the story of Sean Lee's whole

482
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: career is not being available and having a deal with injuries.

483
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: So if Lake Vanders, she's not injury prone and it's

484
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: bad luck, what will we call Sean Lee and what

485
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys have gone and dealt with with him?

486
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: When he plays, he's good. He doesn't play a lot

487
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, And I think I think Vander

488
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: has just kind of falling into that same type of

489
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: type of mole. When they're on the field, when they're healthy,

490
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: they're top five linebackers out there. It's just when they

491
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: don't play, I mean, they just don't enough, you know,

492
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: like we said. But I'm with Vanders as far as

493
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: his durability and that soft tissue injuries. For me, I'm

494
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: not a professional or anything like that, but I just

495
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: think it has to do with flexibility. Man, if you're

496
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: if you're out there stiff, really stiff, I mean, you're

497
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna pull more things. You're gonna have more soft tissue injuries.

498
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a fact that he has to work

499
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: more on his flexibility than going out there and working

500
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: on trying to strengthen things up. Just trying to work

501
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: on your flexibility and at me, I'll help you last

502
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. Well, I'm gonna go, I'll say that.

503
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: So I kind of categorize these two is is pretty different,

504
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: just because Sean Lee hasn't really had those like an

505
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: injury like l Vee has, Right, I think the neck

506
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: and the college like breaking bones and messing up your

507
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: spinal card is a little different than you know, pull

508
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: pulling a hamstring repeatedly or messing up your acl especially

509
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: playing a linebacker position. I just think it's really different. Now.

510
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: I think it's unfortunate that his first real injury for

511
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys happened to be a neck injury. You you

512
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: would rather see something in the lower body with a

513
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to see any But if

514
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: it's hamstring or acl or something like that, I think

515
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: that's just the outlook for that as a little better.

516
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: But a neck injury for a linebacker, especially a mike,

517
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's coming and taking on blocks almost every play,

518
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: is it's just tough to overcome. And uh, you know it.

519
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: You can't really help like a broken colibone, right, you

520
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: can't train it during the off season to make your

521
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: calibone stronger. So it's it's just difficult form. Okay, let's

522
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: let's dive into the other linebacker spot. Because when we

523
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: were talking about guys that we needed to, you know,

524
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: have big twenty twenties, I said it was the linebackers.

525
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: I included in both Layton Vanderesh and Jalen Smith. Sol

526
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Lake Vanderesh one game into this is already gonna miss

527
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: some significant time for the Cowboys, and Jalen Smith is

528
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: a guy that I felt like, for some reason, I've

529
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: seen a couple of folks, Charles Robinson of Y'allhoo Sports

530
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: and then Michael Gelkin of the Dallas Were News. They

531
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: really piled on high on Jalen Smith, and then they

532
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: talked about the Pro Football Focus Great, which gave him

533
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: a grade of twenty nine point five. Mike Nolan, defensive coordinator,

534
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: was asked yesterday by the media to assess Jalen Smith's play.

535
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: Here's Mike Milan ten tackles, and I wouldn't. I would

536
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: say this. I thought Jalen played well. I thought he

537
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: played with great energy. He had some plays in the games,

538
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: as many of us did last night. There were plays

539
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: we'd like to have back, But all in all, I

540
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: thought he did a good job. He had to step

541
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: back into the play caller role that he hadn't done

542
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: this training camp, but that's not a hard thing for him.

543
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: He's a natural leader as it is anyway. But I

544
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: thought that a couple of the plays caught him, as

545
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, might I would say this, the screen maybe

546
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: caught him a time or two. They had a play

547
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: designed specifically for the position he was at. I don't

548
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: know that it was for Jalen, but the position that

549
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: was going to occupy that position, It was going to

550
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: cover the running back. They had a little screen where

551
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: they they sent the center out real fast to go

552
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: block the guy. Um and uh, you know, he happened

553
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: to be the one covering the player at the time. So,

554
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know that that was intended

555
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: for Jayleen because anyone that was out there was going

556
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: to have a blocker on h himself to cover the

557
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: running back. But all in all, I thought he played

558
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: played a good game. Mike McCarthy, the head coach of

559
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, also said he thought Jaylen Smith played well.

560
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: So Barry Church, Danny mccraig, defensive players that you are

561
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: you assessed number fifty four on Sunday night. Uh yeah,

562
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: with my assessment on well, first, I just think Mike

563
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: Nolan is you know, he's just being a coach. I

564
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: think he was downplaying it. I mean we've we've seen

565
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: the media pretty much piled on Jalen Smith, so I

566
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: just think the coach was just, you know, downplaying and naked.

567
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: So he's not because he needed he know he need

568
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: He knows he needs Jayleen Smith out there to step

569
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: it up, especially with Elvie down and and Sean Lee out,

570
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: he needs him to step it up. So he didn't

571
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: want to keep piling it on saying how bad he played.

572
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: But do I think he put do? I think jay

573
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: and Smith played a good game. The other night. No,

574
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: not at all. I mean, as we've seen it many times,

575
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: there was miss tackles out there in coverage, he seemed

576
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: pretty much lost. And when they were play action and

577
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: doing those bootlegs, I mean he was all over the field.

578
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: He was in the wrong sense of the way. So

579
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think he played very well at all. He

580
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: needs to step his game up a little bit because

581
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: with them, like I said, with the missing of Sean

582
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: Lee and Lve, they're gonna need him to step up,

583
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: especially against that run game. So hopefully Jealen Smith can

584
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: can step his game up this next week against Atlanta. Uh. Yes,

585
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: the same here, But I mean for me, it was

586
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: the entire defense, so it really it really isn't say much.

587
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to be great in coverage, but

588
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to be running side out of

589
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: the sideline and then making big hits. I did see

590
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: him make a big a few big collisions, but no

591
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: real real standout plays like like like I expected Um

592
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: and Louis. As as we talk about this, I started thinking,

593
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, what's up with us in linebackers? Right?

594
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: So if you think about this, we drafted Seawan Lee

595
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: h when I was there, and he already had injury problems.

596
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: We drafted Bruce Carter, who already had injury problems. We

597
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: drafted Jaylen Smith, and we already had who already had

598
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: injury problems. And now we have lv who has a

599
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: neck problem. We just hadn't been hidden on linebackers for

600
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: a while. I'll say this, um, we we have seen

601
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: the weaknesses of Jayleen Smith. Okay, we've seen it, despite

602
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he made the Pro Bowl. And while

603
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: that's a great order for Jalen and anyone makes it,

604
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl is not what it used to be.

605
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, the defensive line did him no favors.

606
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: The defensive line was getting blown back. I mean, what

607
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: you were hoping to have this year was a defensive

608
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: lineman could occupy some blockers so Layton vander esh, Sean

609
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: Lee and and Jayleen Smith could roam and get to

610
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: the football. But when the offensive lind Is for the

611
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Ams has taken apart the Cowboys d line, that just

612
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: already put you behind the eight ball. With Jalen Smith,

613
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not making any excuses of them at all, but

614
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: these are reasons of why the Cowboys look so bad.

615
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: They've got to fix this again, that's the bottom line.

616
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: They've got to fix this. And how they do this,

617
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know where they go to Luke Gifford and

618
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: put Louke Gifford out there. You're gonna roll more with

619
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas me. I don't know what they're gonna do

620
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: in terms of trying to make this thing work until

621
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: you can hopefully get Sean Lee back. But Jalen was

622
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: one of many guys on Sunday defensively that you that

623
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 1: you you would put on the milk cart and say, hey,

624
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: where are you? You know, Tank Lawrence missing, where are you?

625
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: So I just felt for some reason there were people

626
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: in the media who just wanted to put it all

627
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: on Jalen Smith to say, like, hey man, you lost

628
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: the game. No. Fifty four was not alone out there

629
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: and not having his best defensive performance. The Cowboys got

630
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: beat up on the defensive line and it just went

631
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: on from there in my opinion, and how that thing went, yeah,

632
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: that was topped the bottom. That was that was coaching,

633
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: and that was that was the players. It definitely wasn't

634
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: just on fifty four, you know, like you said, the

635
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: d line was getting getting pushed back, and they had

636
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: linemen in their face, so linebackers were making contact with

637
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: the running back four yards passed the line of scrimmage already,

638
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: so they really didn't have a chance. I wouldn't blame

639
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: this on the linebackers at all. I just think it

640
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: was top down. You know our scheme. We got out

641
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: schemed and we got outplayed. We have Jerry Jones with

642

690
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: former Dallas Cowboys players Danny McCray and Barry church So

691
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: for the national anthem at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

692
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: There was a first. A Dallas Cowboy has never taken

693
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: a knee during the national anthem. While over a half

694
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: dozen players for the Rams decided to take a knee,

695
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: there was just one Cowboy who did it. That was

696
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Don Terry Poe. Here is Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who

697
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: in the past had said he would kick off any

698
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: player off his team who did not respect the flag,

699
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: but said before this season he was show grace. Here's

700
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: Jerry on Don Terry Poe. Neely. I thought they are players.

701
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: I thought they gave it the sensitivity. Uh, they showed

702
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: respect to pose decision uh there and uh I think

703
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: they certainly did as close. I hope it was apparent

704
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: to everybody air fans they did show a sensitivity to

705
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: our fans as a team. Uh. But also as I

706
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: hope to ask in a very sensitive way, uh, that

707
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: the situation have help that we hope comes. All in all,

708
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: I thought our team was a very real, very januine

709
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: and the way it approached him, all right, that's Cowboys.

710
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: That's Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Don Terry Poe taking

711
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: a knee. Now, Don Terry po and so many players

712
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: who took a knee are out there lead picking up

713
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: where Colin Kaepernick who originally took a knee with the

714
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, and he first out on

715
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: the bench and then he was convinced by former Green

716
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: Beret Nate Boyer to take a knee. And Colin Kaepernick's

717
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: whole message was there were too many people who were

718
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: African American dying at the hands of police, that there

719
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: was injustice going on. And one of the names that

720
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: people have spoken about many times is Brianna Taylor. Well

721
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: today in Louisville, Kentucky, breaking news, there was a press

722
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: conference held by Mayor Greg Fisher announcing that Brianna Taylor's

723
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: family will receive a twelve million dollars settlement. In addition,

724
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: significant police reforms will be implemented in the city of Louisville.

725
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor died in March after police officers executed a

726
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: no knock warrant in her apartment and they shot her

727
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: eight times. Other things is coming out of this news

728
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: conference is commanding officers must approve search warrants, incentives for

729
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: police officers who live in a city, improve relationships with

730
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the community and social workers to help with mental health calls.

731
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: And also the mayor said that the twelve million dollars

732
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: settlement does not acknowledge wrongdoing or fault in Brianna Taylor's death.

733
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: And Ben Crump, the attorney for the for the family,

734
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: says that the twelve million dollars is the largest wrongful

735
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: death settlement ever paid for a black woman killed by

736
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: police in America. So that is the latest on that situation.

737
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: So many times when we watched the NBA Games, the

738
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: w NBA Games, Brianna Taylor has been very adamant on

739
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: T shirts. I thought I think Sean Payton of the

740
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Saints had it on the face mask he wore at

741
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: the Superdome over the weekend. So twelve million dollars does

742
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: not bring back Brianna Taylor to her family, But I

743
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: did want to at least bring that news out there

744
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: because this has been um. Something has linked sports um

745
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: with social injustice. Here with Brianna Taylor, gentlemen, I'll see

746
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: at the floor to you go ahead, d mac Uh. Yeah.

747
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: So so twelve million and no wrong doing, huh uh. Listen,

748
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: the price tag on life is is very steep, and

749
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: twelve million the uncovered. I'm sure the family is still

750
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: looking for justice for the daughter, the sister, you know,

751
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: the niece, and I really hope they get it right.

752
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: And they said it in the presson meeting that this

753
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: is only the beginning. It's a step in the right direction.

754
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, they have to be held accountable.

755
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that, you know, people were able to

756
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: bring attention to this enough to where they were able

757
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: to get a settlement of that amount. But I hope,

758
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, they keep pushing for justice, and I hope

759
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: that they reach it and they get it. Yeah, you know,

760
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, twelve I'm sure that family

761
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: would give all twelve million dollars back just to have her,

762
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, back with their family. But um, I mean,

763
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's just unfortunate, even when they say, you know,

764
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: no wrongdoing, I mean, she's just shot eight times. I mean,

765
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: it's it's very unfortunate. And I mean, I hope the

766
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: family still is looking for justice from those police officers.

767
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's hard to even put words into describe,

768
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: you know, how frustrating it is. But um, hopefully it's

769
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. And with these police

770
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: performs and teaching these these officers, you know, hopefully they

771
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: just make it to where you just can't come up

772
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I just want to be a police officer.

773
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: I want to just I want to do the training

774
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: and get in there now. I think that hopefully they

775
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: make it to where you have to be experienced or

776
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: you have to have some type of long term training

777
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: before you become a police officer because you give power

778
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: and with a gun to the wrong person. I mean,

779
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: we've seen what it happened countless time. So hopefully justice

780
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: is just I don't know, it's it's it's tough. That's

781
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: a tough decision. Naomi Osaka, who won the US Women's

782
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: opening tennis she had also wore a mask with Brianna

783
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: Taylor's name on it. So million does not bring her back,

784
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: but it's a part of helping the family get some

785
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: closure and get some justice. So when people criticize the

786
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys and a player like Don Terry Poe, this is

787
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: why a guy like Don Terry Poe is legally to

788
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: bring awareness to this issue. To say that Brianna Taylor

789
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: at her home was shot eight times by police. This

790
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: is not right and this has to be fixed in

791
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: America because so many times we are looking at these

792
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: things happening to black people. That's what the players are

793
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: trying to address in several sports. So I just want

794
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: to make sure we got that. That's the latest that

795
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: has just happened within the hour, the news of Brianna

796
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: Taylor's family getting a twelve million dollars settlement from the

797
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: city of Louisville, Kentucky. They have not admitted any wrongdoing

798
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: or fault for her loss of life. I want to

799
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: get back here, Yes, what did so the Cowboys do

800
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: any demonstrations before the game or was it you know

801
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: done Terry Poe a coomi and then you know they

802
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: saw the national anthem and then we kicked off. I

803
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: wasn't able to see the pregame. That's what I saw.

804
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: What's interesting that And I asked Clarence Hill because there

805
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: was a phone call, I should say, a media conference

806
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: call before the season where they had Tyrone Crawford and

807
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: Clarence Hill. The Star Telegram was asking questions about, you know,

808
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: social justice and what Basically he was saying, what are

809
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys going to do? Because we'd seen several teams

810
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: starting to do some things, and Tyrone got a little

811
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: test you with Clarence. He said, yeah, I want to

812
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: talk to you offline, you know, he said, I want

813
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: to talk to you because he felt like Clarence was

814
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: really kind of going hard on the Cowboys. But Tyrone

815
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: Crawford said that they were going to do something and

816
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: it was going to be powerful. So we did not

817
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: see any week one. I am wondering does this happen

818
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: at at and T Stadium against the Atlanta Falcons. I

819
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: do wonder because the only person we saw who did

820
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: anything was done Terry Poe. Jacques Taylor wrote a column

821
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: about it over at The Undefeated on ESPN dot com,

822
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: so check that out if you have not seen that

823
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: at all, about how Don Terry Poe was basically out

824
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: there by himself, and certain teammates had even told Don

825
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: Terry for we didn't want you to be out there

826
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: all along. But Poe, who said during training camp he

827
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: was going to take a knee er in the national anthem,

828
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: ended up doing it. Danny, but he see it in

829
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: flip flop like Baker Mayfield wants to go and got tough.

830
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: Uh that that that that was, you know and they lost.

831
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: Shout whatever the Baker Mayfield. I thought it was very

832
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: interesting because a lot of teams did a lot of

833
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: different things and as powerful as they wanted to make it,

834
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: or Soto as they wanted to make it, they went

835
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: out there and they did something to note. It was.

836
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: I think it was a Seahawks versus the Falcons who

837
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: before for the first kickoff that both teams took a

838
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: knee and they kicked the ball through the end zone.

839
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: You know, they came up with something. You know, if

840
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do nothing, that's fine. But I believe

841
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: we heard them say that they were and they didn't.

842
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: A shout out to Poe for sticking to his word

843
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: and standing up or taking a knee of what he

844
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: believes in. We'll see, we'll see if they do on Sunday.

845
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: That's that's because I chat with players yesterday and I

846
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: asked him, I said, did you have a conversation with

847
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford And he said no, they had not, So

848
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye out on Jason Locke and

849
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: Ford writes for CBS Sports, and he did a pretty

850
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: interesting column talking about Dak Prescott's deal and how things

851
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: fell apart. I just read some of this here and

852
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: get you guys reaction. So they had an agreement, basically,

853
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: they came to an agreement Dak Prescott's agent, Todd France,

854
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. It was five years for thirty five

855
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: million years, so totally one seventy five. But the sticking point,

856
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: according to Locke and Ford's reporting is Dak side said

857
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: no franchise tag at the end of the deal. Which

858
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: you can do that, okay, where you can simply say, hey, look,

859
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: I'll sign this deal, but you have to agree that

860
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: you will not you do not have the ability to

861
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: put the franchise tag on me at the end. The

862
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys refused to do that and that ended up scuttlebutting

863
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: the deal here for the Cowboys. And oh, by the way,

864
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: since they didn't get that deal done for Dak at

865
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: thirty five, see Patrick Mahomes got his contract done, DESHAUNP.

866
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: Watson just got his deal done for forty million dollars

867
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: a year, and the Baltimore Ravens very soon are gonna

868
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: have to go ahead and take care of Lamar Jackson.

869
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: They probably will do that this offseason. So the Cowboys

870
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: basically falling further and further behind the eight ball when

871
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: it comes to having any type of negotiation or any

872
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: leverage with Dak Prescott. Next year, Dak's gonna get thirty

873
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: eight million dollars on the franchise tag here. So the Cowboys,

874
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: according to several different sources that were unnamed in this

875
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: Jason Locke and story said, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys

876
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: messed this thing up by not signing Dak Prescott and

877
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: they misread the quarterback market. Ferry Church your thoughts that

878
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: you just heard about that, Yeah, I agree with this article.

879
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, they had the agreement in place.

880
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he agreed to the five years. All he

881
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: didn't want was a franchise at the end of that

882
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: five years, and I mean, who knows what's going to

883
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: happen throughout those five years. I mean, you know, hope

884
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: he would have stayed healthy, but who knows if the

885
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys even wanted to franch would even want the franchise

886
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: him after five years. I think they should have just

887
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: got that deal done. Had him on the books and

888
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: it's a done deal, but they didn't. And now the

889
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: franchise was at thirty one point seven this year, I believe,

890
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: and then next year, if he has another good season,

891
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be at thirty eight. So that'll be around

892
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: forty million guaranteed for seventy million guaranteed through the first

893
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 1: two years. When Patrick Mahomes, I believe, if the article

894
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: was right, it was only going to get sixty three

895
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: million for his first three years. So I mean the

896
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: guaranteed money for dag first and two franchises is already

897
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: over the Mahomes deal. So I think they made a

898
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: mistake here. And like you said, Deshaun Washton got his

899
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: for a roughly forty million dollars a year. I think

900
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: if they do do a long term deal in the future,

901
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: it's going to cost him between forty two and forty

902
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: three million dollars a year. And that's an extra what

903
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: eight million dollars right there that they could have signed,

904
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, a backup dude or somebody like that in

905
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: another position that's not as pricey as a quarterback. So

906
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: I think they made a mistake, but I think they'll

907
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: get him done long term eventually whole week because I'm

908
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: definitely opposite. This is to me, this is all going

909
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 1: downhill for Dak being a Cowboy. I'm starting to see

910
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, this could end up working out

911
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. And this is only based off what

912
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: happened Week one. If this continues for the entire season,

913
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: I am not paying this dude forty million dollars on

914
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: the franchise tax for next year. You could possibly see

915
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: Dak out of here and us going to make a

916
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: move for somebody like a Rod or something. I told

917
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: you that this is and I'm going to stick with it.

918
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: This is a played out year for Dak, and I

919
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: think they see it that way. If he doesn't, if

920
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't produce with all these weapons around him and

921
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: get them to where they believe they should be, then

922
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: we could see a quarter of Dallas Cowboys team without

923
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott on the next season. You think a Rod's

924
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: gonna come and join McCarthy again, Well, yeah, I listen,

925
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I say, I say, I say a raw, but I

926
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: really mean they could just go in a different direction

927
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: at quarterback. But I say just because he's probably up

928
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: there upset because they drafted his backup already, Danny, I'm

929
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna shock you. Okay, I'm gonna shock you. Danny. I'm

930
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: starting to believe you, man, I really am, because because

931
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: if if you're, if you're okay, you read this article

932
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: and you start talking about the kind of numbers. First off,

933
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: Todd Franz was already going hard on him, and they

934
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: spoke about how this thing got personal. You're gonna get

935
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: to that point in time. If you're the Cowboys, you

936
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: start to look at where this cap is and you

937
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: simply say, if we have all these weapons, and if

938
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: he's not taking us to thirteen wins and we're going

939
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: deep in the playoffs, they may decide, look, we can

940
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: win with Andy Dalton. We can go get some coy.

941
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Look how many quarterbacks didn't have jobs this offseason who

942
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: were starters, Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston. They could decide to

943
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. This still is America's team.

944
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: And if you're a free agent quarterback right now, and

945
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and company say to you, look, there's a

946
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: Ze Elliot, he's Ceedee Lamb, here's a Marii Cooper, here's

947
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. We'll go try and get you a tight

948
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: end and hopefully Blake Jarber can come back here. There's

949
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: gonna be some people who say, you know, I'll take

950
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: some of that here. So while Todd France may want

951
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: to break the bank here, if you're the cowboys, as

952
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: this thing keeps going further and further, man, as days

953
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: go by, what Danny's saying here is real. They paid

954
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: Tony Romo a nice chunk of money before Tony Romo

955
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: was the guy, but they had faith in him, and

956
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: then they re uped him again. They didn't do that here,

957
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: and at some point in time they're gonna simply say,

958
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll go somewhere else. Because I'm telling you, man,

959
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: I hate to admit it. Danny's making more and more sense.

960
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: And along the way here, you know who's been right

961
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: about this stuff, Danny, Thank you, so y'all telling me so,

962
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: y'all telling me. After one week, y'all gonna sit there

963
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, there's Jamis Winston's out there

964
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: thirty interceptions, and you're the Jamis Winston's take us out there,

965
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: and then and then knew you said, Andy, don't I mean,

966
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: who else are y'all gonna get That's why I'm like,

967
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about going to get these free agents? What

968
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: free agents? What do we yea? Yeah, go ahead, go ahead?

969
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: So so you so if the Cowboys going eight and eight,

970
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: you're paying that thirty amlia next year, what else is

971
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: out there? It'll be something less than thirty eight Andy

972
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: Dawling Jamis win from some rookie in college. You're not

973
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna have a hyper to get one of the fields

974
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: or Lawrence. You go out, you go, you go at

975
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: eight eight. Anyway, why would you pay thirty a million

976
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: dollars for a quarterback? You're not gonna win. It's already problem.

977
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where else you're gonna go. I just

978
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: don't know where else you're gonna go. Church, Church. First off,

979
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: when I was at camp and I saw Andy with

980
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: these weapons in this offense, Andy looked fun. When Andy

981
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: had weapons in Cincinnati, they were going to the playoffs now,

982
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: and they do when they got there the same thing

983
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: we did. He wanted to get he run a playoff. Here, Church,

984
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying here. I'm not telling you that

985
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: I believe Andy is better than that. What I'm simply

986
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: saying here is as these numbers are going to wear

987
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: this article that Jason Locke and for a row. If

988
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: this is where Todd France is that Todd France is

989
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: going to want more than Deshaun Watson a forty million

990
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: if you're talking about having to give him a forty

991
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year contract. The Cowboys, I believe

992
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: they're going to get to that point where they say,

993
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll go ahead and look at the other option.

994
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: Even though Andy Dalton is not as good as Dak Prescott,

995
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: he does know our system, our guys have worked with him.

996
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: We can get Andy on a one year deal. They

997
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: can do that and then draft somebody. I'm just telling you, man,

998
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: the more this thing keeps going further and not getting done,

999
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: you have to start to introduce the fact that they

1000
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: can start to say, let's look at play and B

1001
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: because it's going to save us a heck of a

1002
00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: lot of money here. That's like you're saying, well, all

1003
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 1: this talent we have on this roster, all this built

1004
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: up talent, you're gonna tell me you'd rather go with

1005
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton U and draft somebody to rebuild with all

1006
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: this talent you got around them, And they just signed

1007
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: Doc Prescott, is that what you're saying what I'm saying, Okay, Danny,

1008
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. I know, I know, I know,

1009
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: I know where the agent is trying to go with

1010
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: this thing where the agent is gonna sit up here

1011
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, I think my guys better than Deshaun Watson.

1012
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: If Watson got forty, I want forty one, I want

1013
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: forty two, and Jerry says, no, I don't want to

1014
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: pay that, and then you're talk about on a four

1015
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: year deal and no, by the way, don't franchise tag me.

1016
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't see the Cowboys going for If they didn't

1017
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: go for this, I don't know how they're gonna sit

1018
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 1: up here keep going to forty and forty two. Because

1019
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: when you read when you read the column, Locking for

1020
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: a wrote, he says, the Cowboys have continually missed the

1021
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: mark on this, that they have messed up along the way,

1022
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: and at some point in time, how long do you

1023
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: keep digging this hole? And you just say, you know what,

1024
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: that we love you, but we're not going to pay

1025
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: this price. We'll take a quarterback who's not as good

1026
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: as you, but it's not going to cost us the same.

1027
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: We still feel like we have a whole lot of

1028
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: talent around here and we'll go there. I'm telling you

1029
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: what Danny is saying is starting to make more and

1030
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: more sense to me. Despite what the fact that Stephen

1031
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones say we want to sign that we

1032
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: loved they told us at all offseason and they didn't

1033
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: get a deal done. This thing has become personal. It

1034
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: was personal last September, according to several reports that they

1035
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: Jerry thought he had to deal done with Todd Franz

1036
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: and it didn't work out. So when Danny says, hey,

1037
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: if this team is just a five hundred team or

1038
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit above five hundred, is it worth

1039
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: it to you to pay forty forty two million dollars

1040
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: and not be able to go out here and fill

1041
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: out the rest of your roster because they missed the

1042
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: boat on this church. That's not crazy at all to

1043
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: say they could decide we'll go with an and adult. Okay, Okay,

1044
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: that's why I don't think. I mean, I said my piece,

1045
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: So I think you just stuck on the Andy Dalton Park.

1046
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: It'll be somebody else out there. It'll be a deal

1047
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: to be made for a different quarterback, even if it's

1048
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: not Andy Dalton. Like, once the season's over, a lot

1049
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: of things have changed, and I think some guys will be,

1050
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: uh will come available for them to get if if

1051
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: if we have to go down that road, and this

1052
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: is all predicated if they if they go eight and

1053
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: eight or nine and seven, this all predicated is they

1054
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: don't go to at least at least win the playoff game. Okay, right,

1055
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: you know Cam Newton can be available. I mean there's

1056
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna be some guys now. And okay, this also comes

1057
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: into the fact you've got a quarterback guy who's worked

1058
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: with two good quarterbacks are gonna go a Hall of

1059
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: Fame one day, and Mike McCarthy. So this is where

1060
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: you go back and you put it on your head coach,

1061
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: hey man, make this guy better. The same way you

1062
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: go to a John Gruten, you go to Sean McBain,

1063
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: and you said, hey, look, you're supposed to be the

1064
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 1: quarterback guru. Guy, go go ahead and make a guy better.

1065
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: But as this goes along, Church, I'm no longer just

1066
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: gonna sit up here and say, hey, Jones family said

1067
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna get it done. They're gonna get it done.

1068
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: They haven't gotten it done. And in the past I

1069
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: could always rely upon and say, hey, they always get

1070
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: their person. Well, guess what, that's not the case anymore.

1071
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: So it would be crazy to not talk about play

1072
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: at B, which is will allow Dak Prescott to go

1073
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: and find someone else. Now here's one question, Church, and

1074
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: you got to answer this for me. Do you feel

1075
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott is a franchise quarterback? When I talk

1076
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, I'm talking Aaron Rodgers, I'm talking Drew Brees.

1077
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Do you feel he's in that category? I mean it's

1078
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: it's a little much to say he's you know, Aaron

1079
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: Rodgers or Drew Brees right now, but quarterback? Oh okay, yes,

1080
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 1: without a question. So we talk about Lark Jackson, Mahomes,

1081
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: Deshaan Watson, you feel he's in that class without a question.

1082
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean, look at look at their Look what they've

1083
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: done so far in the league. I mean they both

1084
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: won the division, I believe two times. They're both one

1085
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 1: and two in the playoffs. It's not like DeShawn Watson

1086
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: is just hands and feet above Dak Prescott. I mean

1087
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: they've done pretty much the same thing throughout their beginnings.

1088
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: Of their career. I mean, so with all the question,

1089
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm putting Dak Prescott up there with Watson. Okay, yes,

1090
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. Now, guess what the price

1091
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: tag for that is going to be? Over forty million

1092
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: dollars now, because that's what the agent's gonna be looking for.

1093
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna be looking for over forty million dollars. He's

1094
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna want more than what Deshaun Watson is getting paid here.

1095
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: So are you cowboys? Okay, if you're the cowboys, are

1096
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: you ready to pay that amount? They weren't ready to

1097
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: do it at thirty five mill right now. They couldn't

1098
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: get a deal done there. So now the price tags

1099
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: going up. So that's where church or church Church, That's

1100
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: where McCray is trying to tell you. As the price

1101
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: head goes up, they may decide to say, you know, well,

1102
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna cast the chips in. We'll let

1103
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: it go. Don't sit around here think that's not an option.

1104
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: I think it's what I'm saying. I understand what he's saying.

1105
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: I understand what he's saying. I'm just saying it would

1106
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: be a mistake for the Cowboys to do that. That's

1107
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: what my opinion is on that it would be a

1108
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: mistake for them to pass up on Dak to go

1109
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: look somewhere else. I just I just think that would

1110
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: be a mistake. All Right, this is going to be

1111
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: a decision. They have to get into uh and and look,

1112
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: if he ends up balling out crazy, then yeah you

1113
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: write the check. But if it doesn't happen that way,

1114
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: you definitely have to have the conversation. So so we

1115
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: say ball out crazy, but what is like, what is

1116
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: not balling out crazy? Like do we consider him just

1117
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: he has to he has to win a playoff game

1118
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: for him to get that check, or doesn't matter what,

1119
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the playoffs. If he balls regular season,

1120
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: he'll get that check. Like what are we saying is

1121
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: the determining factors for him to get into getting last

1122
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: year doesn't cut it? Last year last year's performance does

1123
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: not cut it, even though he was not statistically no, okay,

1124
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: no stat stats are included. That stats are you can't

1125
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: play like trash in your defense carrier, which won't happen

1126
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: this season, But but you gotta put up something and

1127
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: you gotta lead your team to a playoff run. You

1128
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: got everything around you. They can't. They can't give you anymore. Okay.

1129
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: So two thousand two, eighteen twenty eighteen, Dac when he

1130
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: went to the player I had decent numbers, went to

1131
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: the won the division, they won the wild card game,

1132
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: they lost the divisional. Would that be enough to get

1133
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: in paid. I still don't know about that. Yeah, it's

1134
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: it's I'm telling you man, it's going to be interesting

1135
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,479
Speaker 1: because when you talk about paying this kind of money,

1136
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: you're going to lose a player to who you cannot

1137
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: afford to sign. And when you make this kind of money,

1138
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame writer Rick Gods someone has told me this.

1139
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: He said, when we meaning a team, when we pay

1140
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: you this money, this means you have to carry a

1141
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of the load. So you may not get

1142
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: that extra receiver, you may not have that extra d

1143
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: lum because we're putting it on you to carry the load.

1144
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: And that's why Rick always talks about a guy like

1145
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron can carry the team, that Mahomes can

1146
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: carry the team. And that question. I can tell you

1147
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: some people, some people at the Star wonder if Dak

1148
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: is that guy. They're they're question marks about it. So

1149
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: if you're Dak Prescott this year, you need to answer

1150
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: some more of those questions, knowing your agent is coming

1151
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: not just for the bag, He's coming for the big bag.

1152
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: He's coming for the bigger than the Shan Watson bag.

1153
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: And if you're Jerry, as you keep messing this thing

1154
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: up and not paying the guy, the prices go up

1155
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: more and more. At some point in time, Jerry's got

1156
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: to ask himself, as any businessman does, what about the

1157
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: return on investment? What about the ROI? And that's going

1158
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: to be the question that the cowboys have to answer.

1159
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: So far, they've told us they're not sold on him.

1160
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: All I go by is what I see is what

1161
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells used to say, and what I see, and

1162
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: Danny is convincing me more and more. What we see

1163
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: is they're not sold to the point that they're ready

1164
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: to write that chet. They were sold on Tony Romo

1165
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: twice and giving him contracts. They're not sold on Dak Prescott.

1166
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: So you said it, but you just said it. The ROI.

1167
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: They already got the r They're good, they got over

1168
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: the four Brown, they got everything they needed out of day.

1169
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: You're talking about return on the investment, they were an

1170
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: investment is astronomical, all right, So so you're gonna jump

1171
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: back in and and and pay more fun. I used

1172
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: to go get out of the same man I made.

1173
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:13,560
