And man, it's been 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.520 a while or a lot has happened in the last week. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.480 It seems like it's been forever since we've gotten together 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.640 and talked. It has been together. Free agency talk. We 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.440 can get into that. We can get into some draft 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.280 talk because we do have Bryan broad Us here. Yeah, 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.680 let's start with free agency and what the Cowboys have 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.960 done really in the last five six days. Added six 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.200 new players on this roster, said goodbye to a couple 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.040 of guys, not Dez Bryant. He is still on the roster. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.560 By the way, Wow, shots, how you take shot shots? 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.120 That's a lot of speculations. The question hasn't gone away. Okay, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.480 it will not go away until something is resolved one 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.320 way or another. The Cowboys are expected to meet with 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.880 him at some point. We'll see. But let's talk about 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.480 what they've done in free agency. Guys, thoughts on the 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.920 five signings they've had that they've also traded for a 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.880 new fullback as well. Nate added a couple offensive lines. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.760 The Marcus Martin Cameron Fleming, what do you think about him? 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.440 What I think is I think they come h Well, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.040 one guy came from Cleveland, so U well, I don't 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.640 know what to think about him. But the other guy 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.560 that report on him. Yeah, yeah, I'm Marcus Martin, the 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.480 guy from New England. He's uh, he's the guy that 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.960 been in the system, knows a lot about adjusting, doing games, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.400 adjusting from week to week. That's what the New England 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.040 Patriots does. Well, that's what I hope the Cowboys. My 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.840 game is not about free agency, fellas. My thing is 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720 about the new coaches that they've brought in and the 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.120 offensive line coach. I want to know he's been with 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:07.760 the Cincinnati being what thirty Paul Alexander and they said, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.360 Coach Alexander have seen every scheme, every defensive front, every 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.000 secondary coverage, every linebacker twist and turn and blitz. I 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.960 want to see what we do with this officive line 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.520 since we got a new offensive line coach here, what 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.400 what would we do to make adjustments during games if 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.040 we're missing the player And I'm talking about not only 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.720 a running back, but I'm talking about another offensive lineman. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.200 We got three guys that are all pros, and now 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.719 we got Collins, who's at the right tacker. We don't 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.919 know how he's gonna be situated in training camp. We 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.839 got him at right tacker. I want to know if 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.480 we what we would do at the left guard, and 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.440 what would we do once a guy's missing an officive line? 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.839 That's my big issue. What would have So in your 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.880 ideal world, what would you want to happen? Well, I 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.720 would like for the scheme to be more efficient and 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.200 ready to a doubt because last year we lost Tyrone 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.520 Crawford at left tackle. Seemed like we just want to 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.320 rate Tyron Smith. Tyron Smith. We just went to we 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.560 went to raid. We didn't know what was going on. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.520 We had like we was lost. That shouldn't have happened 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.760 to us. These teams don't have that type of offensive 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.640 line that we have. We lose one guy and we 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.480 still have two all pros left. We need to say 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.760 hi to Hell. Hey, what's about Hell? What's going on? Yeah? Hey? 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.120 By the way, we do have a live mic out here, right, yeah? Yea. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.279 If anybody's got any questions, I'm coming to you ready, 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.479 I'm going fellas, Hey, I'm worried about the coaches, not 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.520 the players, thank you. So, what I was going to 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.320 ask Nate from an ideal standpoint, what would you want 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:47.560 to happen on with personnel on that offensive line? Yeah? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.880 I think that they're in a point right now where 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.679 they've talked about potentially moving Collins. You know, we we 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.920 with Martin. You know, he's a guy to me. He 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.080 might have played at Cleveland, he was at San Francisco. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.520 The Browns were a team that didn't have they had 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.240 like the Cowboys, they had a lot of value at 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.800 their guards. They went out and got some money. So 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.080 Martin was a guy that wasn't inactive, was inactive really 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.159 every game, so he had a hard time getting on 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.560 the phild. He's twenty five years old. I went back 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.239 and watched him and I kind of compare him guys 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.280 to the early Ron Leary type of a body, you know, 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.400 the big, boxy kind of square player. Maybe a little 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.159 bit trouble getting second level blocks and stuff like that, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.599 but the power that he played with the ability to 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.880 work with the tackles, you know, those kinds of things 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.839 I think are really inviting because he does have those 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.920 kinds of traits and he's a guy I think that's 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.960 got potential to be a starter at left guard. And 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.600 I think that's what the Cowboys were thinking. They're they're 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.680 trying to Mickey we went under all our shows. Was 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:57.480 always talking about upgrade, the guard upgrade Byron Bell, right, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.240 So that's I think what they did. Their plan was, Okay, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.559 let's go out and sign guys like Fleming. Fleming started 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.440 in the Super Bowl, starting the AFC Championship game. I 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.800 watched him against Pittsburgh. You know, he's made some good 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.320 starts against good teams and held up, you know, no 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.920 worse for wear. So I feel like they they've got that, 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.160 that that little bit of that that better depth. If 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.400 they if they say, Okay, we're gonna move college, which 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.320 Mickey and Drop I wouldn't do personally, I think that 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.280 I feel like that, you know, he's You've invested the year, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.560 the growing pains early. By the end of the year, though, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.760 he was one of your better offensive linemen, and I 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.760 think that's a I think that's a credit to him, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.160 and I'd hate to see them take that away, much 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.320 like what we saw happen with Chaz Greene having to 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.640 play guard and talking about Byron Jones too. It's safety spot, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.720 you know, can you keep him at one spot and 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.320 get him developed at a spot that's best for him, 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.480 corner or safety. It looks like Nate is shagged question 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.760 out there with the masses out here at the start. Hey, fellas, Yes, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.840 I got Trevor from Saginaw Man. All right. He has 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.400 the question, um, so if Darwin James is gone, if 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.120 he's the first one gone instead of Minka, do you 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.320 think that that's would trade up for Minka the same 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.040 way they went with James and that kind of ten 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.600 to thirteen area. Yeah, that's that's it. That's a very 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.040 good question, sir, Really really is you know Mica Fitzpatrick 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.280 from Alabama. They went in there and they have worked 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.280 out those kids, and you know, he was a guy 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.440 that they have some familiarity with. I think that where 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.280 you have to wonder, Okay, is this guy a corner 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.760 or is he a safety? You know, and some people 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.120 have kind of It's a little bit like Jalen Ramsey 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.439 was a couple of years ago during the Zeke draft, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.640 where all of sudden people said, okay, he's a safety, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.560 but Jacksonville plays mc corner. I don't know if they 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.720 would necessarily go up to draft Mika. I think that 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.960 they because maybe the little bit of the thought of 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.080 what does he play. I'm interested to find out if 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.560 they in fact he's a thirty visit. But even they 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.559 might think he's out of there because he was always 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.600 a guy. It was a top five consideration until all 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:08.000 the quarterback shuffling went up, so he might be an 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.800 odd guy out him Nelson, So what do you think? 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.640 What are you thinking? Is I haven't listed as a corner. Okay, 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.440 I haven't listed as a corner, and I always thought yeah, yeah, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.760 I will say you look at safety and that's a 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.720 spot that you could assuming Byron Jones as a cornerback. Again, Yeah, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.640 that's a spot you look at and say, Okay, that 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.720 could be a draft target for you. Talk to Stephen 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.120 Jones at the owner's meetings in Florida this week. He 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.599 did say there is a school of thought when you 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.480 look at what they've done in free agency, maybe you 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.280 need to go get a free safety who can cover. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.000 But they haven't found anybody on the market that fits 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.040 what they're looking for scheme wise. Before we go back 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.480 out to Nate, I will say this though, Yeah, because 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.800 you look at what Kenny Baccaro has done, right, and 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.000 then you look at Tyrn Matthew more down players play 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.000 slot that cover stuff good. But maybe they're looking for 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.040 a guy that's more of a true free Yes, you know, 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.200 and that's I think that's where you know, that's why 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.480 you get Earl Thomas rumors because you have that he 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.360 has that ability to play as a true free sat. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.640 All right, let's go back to Nate and you know what, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.160 it's gonna be a little change of face here. We 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.839 gotta gotta to settle the dance problem. We got Chris 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.800 and Michael from Holland Village. All right, thanks guys. I 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.199 know you're tired of hearing questions about the Dak situation, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.640 but I have a question and maybe a suggestion. So obviously, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.760 you got the team not wanting to spend so much 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.920 money on him, and you got him not wanting to 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.719 take a pay cut. Is there a win win situation 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.760 where they renegotiate a performance based or incentive based contract 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.480 where he can claim victory and say, yeah, I'm gonna 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.520 come out and show everybody I'm gonna make more money, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.360 but the team is protected in case he doesn't. Good question. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:50.240 I would imagine that's the idea if you think about 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.560 what the Cowboys did with Brandon Carr when they reduced 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.960 his base salary that last year. They basically cut it 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.199 in half, but guaranteed him not only money for that year, 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.520 they guaranteed him money the next year that ended up 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.719 counting against the salary cap last year. So there are 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.480 ways to do that and put some performance bonuses in there. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.120 And uh, what you don't want to do is embarrass 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.480 the guy, right, and you don't want to embarrass him 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.680 in the locker room. And I think that's gotta be 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:24.760 their goal if they're gonna mess with that with that contract. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:31.480 So it sounds like tomorrow next week, maybe before the draft, 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.760 although Steve Stephen Jones said over there in the Lincoln 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:41.200 Um showcase room that they have really no timetable on it. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.440 It's not like we gotta do something before the draft. Yeah, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.000 we'll see how that goes. Yeah, Diz was in this 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.880 morning working out. So his plan and focus is to 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.120 try and get prepared. But they're gonna protect themselves and 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.040 they're gonna they're gonna do right by Diz too. It's 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.720 a very good question. Jerry was just asked again. He 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.480 was asked two days ago by US in Florida. Have 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.720 you talked to No, they have not had to sit 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.840 down yet. He got asked again. Now he's back from Florida. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.480 He said he kind of had a little fun with 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.360 the media, didn't he make? Yes? He did? So, where 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.160 were you in Florida? Rob I was in by the way, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:17.920 he had a little fun by saying what Steven or Jerry? Jerry? 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.839 He said, I've told I told des not to come 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.920 in here because I want the questions to keep going. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.400 I wanted the cowboys to stay in the news, which 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.480 is great and you know it's good press, right, you 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.520 know what, there's a sliver of truth in that by 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.720 why not? Why not? This was this is the new 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.120 Romo thing? Right? It was all about Romo last year? 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.120 What are they gonna do with Tony? Same thing with 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.640 Dez Brian. You and I have gone back and forth 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.439 on this, like I don't have a great feeling about 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.000 what's gonna happen here. I think there's if you if 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.000 you see some of the tea lea read some of 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.640 the tea leaves from Jerry this week, it's like there's 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.400 there's a chance, depending on what they work out with him, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.240 that he, you know, he'd be back. He doesn't want 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.160 to speculate that he won't be back. But Stephen Jones 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.760 has talked about we've got a business decision to make so. Yeah, 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.160 I mean talking about contract numbers and all that is 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.800 the right path, But what what's the solution? I don't 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.319 think anybody knows you. So here is the new term 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:16.800 that Jerry Cone today deliberate planned confusion. And that's what 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.400 you got going right now, which is what means what? 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.880 Which means that he's deliberately not telling you anything to 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:27.640 confuse the situation. But Nate Newton will settle this situation. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.320 I'm not gonna settle it, man. But I have a 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.920 guy named Robert who I want to call it Thomas 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:38.000 from from planet. He has a question about all these receivers. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.240 So how do you think it's gonna settle out? With 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:46.440 this huge roster of wide receivers? There's too many of them. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.840 Where do you start? Yeah, this is that's a great question, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.800 because I'll tell you why. It's you know, you have 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.480 ninety men on the roster, so they don't have to 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:00.080 do anything quickly. I mean they could even draft and 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.480 then think about how they want to cut down things 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.880 once they get going. But I don't think they're in 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.040 any hurry right now to do anything as far as 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.800 roster reduction, and with the with the soon to be 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.760 ninety man rosters. They could keep this thing as long 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.440 as they want. But the way I think it's gonna 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.280 shake out, I think they're gonna have their meeting with Dez. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.320 I think they're gonna figure things out with him. He's 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.080 gonna get on board, and then we'll see how that 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.520 goes from there. But the other receivers, I think the 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.640 most important thing. The thing that kind of bothers me 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.440 a little bit, that gives me a little pause, is 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.280 that they didn't have this discussion with him earlier. Yeah, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.440 if they didn't say, listen, does this is what we 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.680 need to do? Are you with us on this? Are 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.880 you with us on that? And maybe you couldn't get 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.480 all the parties together. But Jerry did mention that, Yeah, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.360 the timing has been an issue. I just wish they 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.320 would have been able to meet with him early and say, listen, 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.320 this is what we want to do and then you 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.920 can make your plan about having to sign guys and 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.800 stuff like that. But I don't. I just don't feel 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.360 like they're any real hurry right now to reduce the 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.160 roster at this moment. So if everybody had been paying 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:16.360 attention to Jason Garrett at the owner's meeting. The word 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.360 he kept using to answer the gentleman's question about too 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:25.120 many people at wide receiver was competition. Yeah, those guys 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.080 will decide for you, because I don't think there's any 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.080 cut and dried guy out there that just says, Okay, 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.560 I got this spot. Don't don't, don't come around me, right, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.840 I'm a starter. Right. And and the other thing that 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.600 will settle your question is injuries. Right. Don't think you're 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.560 so deep until you get through training camp, because somehow, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.920 some way, every time you think of the position is 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.520 too deep, two guys get hurt, and all of a 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.560 sudden you're looking around going huh, I ain't got enough 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.280 wide receivers for practice. We also found out this week 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.920 to speaking of that, Terrence Williams head surgery in the 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.800 offseason for a fractured foot, and it could cost him 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.080 some of his offseason work. So you're looking at depth 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.160 editions there with the signings of Alan Hearns and Deante Thompson. 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.520 So hey, take a stab at which method Carpel Meta 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.760 Tarsl was busted. I'll just say fourth. Oh, it's the fifth. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.400 It's always always the fifth, taking the fifth. All right, 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.680 we got more quick question. Then we go to break. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.120 Jack is speaking from Jack from Michigan. He's got a question. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.920 Do you think DVD he's gonna have any big impact 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.640 this year? David Irvin? Do you think you have an 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:46.800 impact this year? David Irvy? Absolutely, he better. Yeah, because 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.400 they need him to have an impact at that three 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.600 technique on the defensive line. And he had an impact 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.080 in the eight games he played last year, So if 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.560 he can double up for an entire season, boy, he'll 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.560 be a pro bowler. Yeah. They need they need him 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.920 to play well, they really really do, especially with some 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.440 of the things that are going on inside. I also 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.760 feel like they'll check out the draft and we get 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.479 to that that maybe you'll have a guy get added 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.719 that could be an undertack or a three technique playing 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.000 behind him or with him or in a rotation because 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.560 they might only have him for one year and then 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.600 they need to think about that spot again going forward, Nate, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.399 are these people visiting from Michigan? Yes, y'all visit. Come on, 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.679 this is the mom and what's your name now? Debbie? 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.000 Very welcome, Debbie. I thought that was going to ask 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.240 about Chomp. Somebody asked about David Man oh, they got 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.639 just got good. Are you going on to San Antonio? 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.040 We're thinking about it on Monday, all right, So if 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.680 they win, huh, if Sister Jean, if they can beat 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.080 Sister Jeane, we'll see what We'll see what happens. All right, 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.440 Let's take our first break, guys. When come back, we 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.240 can talk more about the free agent editions we touched 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.600 on wide receiver. They added a new linebacker as well, 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.440 and Brian went to some pro days too, so let's 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.719 get into that when we come back next on Talking Cowboys. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.760 It can be hard to find the right resource for 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.640 learning about important financial matters.
