Speaker 1: on one for the day, Right, I'm done, man, that
Speaker 1: was a nice slapper. See how you guys at yesterday?
Speaker 1: You go, you go, hey yesterday, your boy yesterday. You're
Speaker 1: gonna bring up yesterday? You know, hey, hey, you know
Speaker 1: if the crowd you guys to do the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've been watching old old stuff about the wire. I've
Speaker 1: been seeing a lot of Marlow, a lot of Ava,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I'm in I'm in
Speaker 1: that zone right now. Okay, I'm in that zone, the
Speaker 1: zone that Church was in. No what hey man, he
Speaker 1: was about what jab for the day? Okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: You know, I just had to throw a little, you know,
Speaker 1: teaser out there's Now we're good. You're saying, uh, we'll
Speaker 1: get to Jay look Smith here, that's not That's not
Speaker 1: what you were talking about. My man, I jumped the
Speaker 1: gun a little bit. I'm talking about what we'll be. Okay,
Speaker 1: was what was? We'll get to? What was? I'm talking
Speaker 1: about what will be a lot of people are on
Speaker 1: Twitter saying, Okay, Stefan Gilmore about to get released by
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Cowboys need to go make a trade.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It's not going to have because the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers made the trade a twenty twenty three six round
Speaker 1: draft pick to secure the services of Stefan Gills. Await,
Speaker 1: that's it. All they needed was a six round pick
Speaker 1: to get this guy up out of there and pick
Speaker 1: up the sailory. Okay, now go back to my guy,
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison, who told me earliest one, he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: Gilmore would be good for your locker room, be a
Speaker 1: good player. But the issue in Rodney had told me,
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, Bill's not gonna pay him because Gilmore
Speaker 1: wants a new deal. Yeah, that's what we talked about.
Speaker 1: The man reason we couldn't get it because we thought
Speaker 1: when we signed to him, he wouldn't want this massive,
Speaker 1: top of the market type deal and that's just something
Speaker 1: that Cowboys weren't willing to do. And what's what has changed? Tun?
Speaker 1: Sorry what I mean? Because well, well I say that
Speaker 1: because at that point I was saying we needed a
Speaker 1: veteran UH presence presence in the dB room. And well
Speaker 1: why when I say what has changed, I was talking
Speaker 1: about Gilmore. So if you wanted your money in the spring,
Speaker 1: if you want a new deal in the spring, why
Speaker 1: you get to the fault not still want a new deal.
Speaker 1: You know, if you want your money, you want your money.
Speaker 1: So the Panthers are in a position to to do it.
Speaker 1: And it's very interesting because they had made the trade
Speaker 1: for CJ. Henderson UH for Jacksonville. He ended up playing
Speaker 1: last week against the Cowboys in that loss, and so
Speaker 1: they so they made a trade there, and then they
Speaker 1: made a trade UH for for Gilmore and horns out
Speaker 1: this year, but he's coming back. So they got they
Speaker 1: got a loaded corner group. I mean you're talking aj
Speaker 1: Aj Buoyya, who was an All Pro Pro Bowl with Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Jake was at JC, not J. C. Jackson, but UH
Speaker 1: Dante Jackson, C j Henderson former first rounder. Like you
Speaker 1: talked about Horns gonna be on his way back after
Speaker 1: he heals from this injury. So I mean they got
Speaker 1: they got a loaded secondary. Some people ain't coming back.
Speaker 1: If I'm I'm like, hey, what about you want some
Speaker 1: of this piece? You want someone? They trade a couple
Speaker 1: of pieces because Dante gotta be mad, you know, because
Speaker 1: you assume that Ajuy is gonna be starting right so
Speaker 1: now you gotta go against He's gonna take the other
Speaker 1: spot as soon. Uh So it's some upset people in
Speaker 1: the locker room. And you know you got my man,
Speaker 1: Prescott's brother over there talking about give him, give him
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown spot. I'm like, I'm like, why though, why
Speaker 1: if you we me? I've been talking about how how
Speaker 1: much better this defense has been getting each week. Each week,
Speaker 1: they've been getting better. When you look at Trey mun
Speaker 1: did you say this guy is covering, he's getting turnovers,
Speaker 1: he's in the right spot, he's making players on the ball.
Speaker 1: When you look at Anthony Brown, he got an opportunity
Speaker 1: to make an interception. Uh in the last game. He
Speaker 1: hasn't really been playing bad. His game is getting rights.
Speaker 1: He's getting better and I think that's that's a testament
Speaker 1: to the new coaches that have come in and got
Speaker 1: him back on track to to to get to have
Speaker 1: him be the player that he they thought he was
Speaker 1: when they paid him. But what would you would you?
Speaker 1: I just want to read let's just awake. Sure read
Speaker 1: the tweet here and um and I tweeted it out
Speaker 1: at newar scrugs it's an e W Y Scruggs. Todd
Speaker 1: Prescott five hours ago tweeted The Patriot releasing Stephan Gilmore.
Speaker 1: He told me four years ago he wanted to be
Speaker 1: a cowboy. He and Digs on the field together. Question
Speaker 1: mark see the and right there. If I'm if I'm
Speaker 1: dak right there, I'm like, hey, you know, break got
Speaker 1: hill a little bit. You gotta chill a little bit
Speaker 1: on that, because bringing in that guy, it's gonna take
Speaker 1: somebody's job. Somebody, somebody is gonna be mad about getting
Speaker 1: a job taking, whether it's Anthony Brown moving into the
Speaker 1: slot and then Jay Louise up out of there, or
Speaker 1: just Anthony Brown going all together, you know, or relegated
Speaker 1: to a to a you know, a sideline role basically
Speaker 1: a backup role. But somebody's job's getting taken there. So
Speaker 1: you can't go out there be like, yeah, we gotta
Speaker 1: bring this guy in, bringing that guy in. Because if
Speaker 1: I'm Anthony Brown, I'm looking at the tweets like, hold on,
Speaker 1: get your brother because, like I mean, because we know
Speaker 1: Dak might not have said that, but people are gonna
Speaker 1: assume because it's coming from his brother, Like hold on, man,
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is what y'all talking about over there,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm not playing up to Parl right now,
Speaker 1: so I gotta get step up my game. Like it's
Speaker 1: it's just a little slippery slope right there. Anybody else,
Speaker 1: Like if it's us saying, yeah, let's bring gilmore and
Speaker 1: that's one thing. If it's the media is saying it,
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But when you have the brother of
Speaker 1: one of your teammates saying it, I might feel some
Speaker 1: type of way. If I was Anthony bro watched him
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, he would have been upset.
Speaker 1: If they would have said, Aaron Rodgers is on the market,
Speaker 1: Oh we should go get him to be with Dez
Speaker 1: and whatever or whoever else was on the roster, dude
Speaker 1: would have had a whole fit. But having fits on
Speaker 1: Twitter for people talking mess about Black Prescott relaxed. Man said,
Speaker 1: talking about this people teammates, man, they are playing, well
Speaker 1: you three and one, leave him alone alone. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: because because, like we said, somebody got to go. It's
Speaker 1: if I'm a b I'm just like man, hold on, man,
Speaker 1: I played yet. You know, the Tampa Bay game wasn't
Speaker 1: the greatest, but from that point on, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I got better and better and better. I even got
Speaker 1: an interception under my belt. Like I think the tandem
Speaker 1: of him and Yeah on a deep ball. I think
Speaker 1: the tandem with him and did is starting to improve.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking on Twitter and I'm like, wait, they
Speaker 1: saying I'm not good enough to be in this secondary.
Speaker 1: I know Stephan Gilmore is a game changing type corner.
Speaker 1: I know he can he can solidify your secondary. But
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown ain't playing too bad. And I just don't
Speaker 1: see I can see us saying that, but not not
Speaker 1: the brother of Prescott. You can't do that. Listen, dan
Speaker 1: Quinn believes and Anthony Brown all right, he came to
Speaker 1: defense and let everybody know that was not his fault
Speaker 1: on that play. That was the safety's fault. And then
Speaker 1: somebody failed down. He explained it. Dan Quinn believes in him.
Speaker 1: He's still on the roster. We know one thing. If
Speaker 1: they don't believe in you, you sick. Ain't getting a
Speaker 1: lot of disrespect for Anthony Brown at a lot not here,
Speaker 1: not here. We apologize. I listen literallyld on, wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on. If we're talking about two years ago, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm talking about now. I'm talking about now.
Speaker 1: I listen. I'm talking about this contract. No no, hold on,
Speaker 1: his contract don't have nothing to do with his play.
Speaker 1: All right. I see what you said about and I
Speaker 1: see there. Go then I come back and apologize you
Speaker 1: did because I misspoke exactly like he doesn't listen. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that that is false, right man. The man get paid
Speaker 1: some seventeen twenty million dollars. We were talking about the
Speaker 1: top paid corners making almost a honey me. So when
Speaker 1: you're talking about the comparison between the contracts, that's what
Speaker 1: I was talking about. He's trying to start some miss No,
Speaker 1: Anthony round, you're playing good. I would not go get
Speaker 1: step on Gilmore because I believe that you are continuing
Speaker 1: to get better. You wouldn't go get him. If no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't messle to our defense right now. Now, this
Speaker 1: is something else that I have. Media was out here,
Speaker 1: We're watching practice and just just kind of talking to people,
Speaker 1: and and uh, Mickey and I were think Spagnola, who
Speaker 1: has his podcast make shots after us. We were just
Speaker 1: talking and right in front of us as Calvin Joseph,
Speaker 1: they's the second round pick on the guy. They still
Speaker 1: have hopes for the player. And to me, it seems
Speaker 1: that McCarthy is very comfortable playing young guys and Dan
Speaker 1: quinn is very comfortable playing young guys. So you bring
Speaker 1: in Gilmore. Then Gilmore becomes with Bill Parcels, you say,
Speaker 1: as a progress stopper. Yeah. So, And Mickey also brought
Speaker 1: up the point of yeah, you have ten million dollars.
Speaker 1: He said, but you've got all these other guys you
Speaker 1: have to continue to pay. And then he went over
Speaker 1: here he started looking at the you know, injured reserve,
Speaker 1: let the practice squad. He's like, that money goes to
Speaker 1: pay these guys. Then he said, whatever savings that you have,
Speaker 1: you can roll that into next year. And then you
Speaker 1: start to think about all the different free agents that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have and I don't think we talk about
Speaker 1: that enough. If Randy Gregory's a free agent, Carter Williams
Speaker 1: is a free agent, Schultz is a free agent, Keiano
Speaker 1: Kneel Keane free agent, both the safeties, I mean basically
Speaker 1: the safety room, the whole safety room is up. So
Speaker 1: it got Laton Vanderess, who's up. So you've got all
Speaker 1: of that going on here, so you bring in Gilmore.
Speaker 1: Those are certain things you got to talk about. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, to one reason why Jalen Smith was
Speaker 1: got Yeah, Nicky said they that they tried to restructure
Speaker 1: the contract. He said no, from yeah, it was it
Speaker 1: the restructure, So so that's what But why would you
Speaker 1: instructure If I'm the I'm like I think they said.
Speaker 1: I heard they try to take the injury. Does the
Speaker 1: injury guarantee away? So that's what I heard that the
Speaker 1: guy injured, they would have had to guarantee his next year,
Speaker 1: which was like nine point two. And I can understand that,
Speaker 1: like because because injuries happened. We've seen it. People get
Speaker 1: injured that practice all the time, people get injured in
Speaker 1: the games, and it's something you know, terrible would have
Speaker 1: happened to him. Then they're on the hook next year
Speaker 1: from that point, but he had missed the game, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: and when and when did you decide? Like have y'all
Speaker 1: been having this conversation since like training camp or did
Speaker 1: this when you come in and be like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, this case you get hurt
Speaker 1: on your twenty snaps, we need to make sure that
Speaker 1: we are no. I know how that is. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not up upstairs in the gym row.
Speaker 1: I'm just here. Just like, man, that was rough. I
Speaker 1: did not expect to see that last night come across
Speaker 1: the ticker. I didn't. I didn't that all. And if
Speaker 1: I'm hitting, if you're jailing with me, do you actively
Speaker 1: go out there and try to get back on the
Speaker 1: squad or you know, you know, when you got seven
Speaker 1: coming in the bank, do you say, all right, let
Speaker 1: me chop this up, let me get healthy, let me
Speaker 1: get back together and see if I can do something
Speaker 1: next year coming around, because you know you got seven
Speaker 1: coming to you. But is he not healthy? I mean
Speaker 1: he's yeah. It seems like he ever't even been playing
Speaker 1: that much. I to one of his folks, he said,
Speaker 1: he told me Jale was looking to play for a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, and then he had talked about how
Speaker 1: he was number eleven and the Pro Football Focus rankings
Speaker 1: for linebackers, and I had someone here in the in
Speaker 1: the building tell me. He said, NWI, that's one of
Speaker 1: the biggest bunches of out there, Dallas. He says, they
Speaker 1: don't know what we are grading, they don't know what
Speaker 1: we're doing. And so he says you, he says, knew,
Speaker 1: you gotta stop following that stuff. And so when this
Speaker 1: person was saying, yeah, man, he's number eleven the PFF rankings,
Speaker 1: Like man, there was one coach that stuff does not matter.
Speaker 1: And in a lot of buildings, and I think you
Speaker 1: were there, there was one coach who tried to bring
Speaker 1: out the PF grades to basically break down why this
Speaker 1: person lost their job and why they're a backup. Now,
Speaker 1: were you there for that? This was Wilcox at Joe Baker.
Speaker 1: So Joe Baka came, now, this is why, this is
Speaker 1: why you know you're not playing. Right here, he fast
Speaker 1: you as fifty six out of whatever starting safeties and
Speaker 1: that just the whole room they spoke due, JJ's you,
Speaker 1: what the hell you mean PF? That's the grades, you're
Speaker 1: going you're going to buy some PF. Man, it was
Speaker 1: extreme turmoil in there. So after that, I've never seen
Speaker 1: it happened after that, But one coach tried to bring
Speaker 1: up the PFF and that's just I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: a no no when it comes to pay. He could
Speaker 1: have just brought out the MS mis tackles. He could
Speaker 1: have brought that you had to go outside the building
Speaker 1: for that. You could have just saved. Hey, man, we
Speaker 1: grade this every week, all right, and then this is
Speaker 1: what we've been seeing each week, miss miss misser, mental errors,
Speaker 1: the missopportunity for big plays, misalignment. You could just like
Speaker 1: grate that and say this is why you ain't got
Speaker 1: to go. That's how he started though. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you had the mistackles here this and you know, will
Speaker 1: cost is Like no, that wasn't even right. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: well did you put it that way too? And it
Speaker 1: was oh, hell broke loose in that room. But that
Speaker 1: was that was yes. Ever since then, man, PFF has
Speaker 1: been a no no when it comes to players. Man,
Speaker 1: is that the sheet for like total defense and stuff?
Speaker 1: I need to see where we had this week, y'all
Speaker 1: don't know. We're near the top ten. Number twenty six
Speaker 1: and total defense were still twenty six. Yeah, sixteen spots out. Man,
Speaker 1: that's stay that stay about to be good. We don't
Speaker 1: go up at all. Na, na I bet ya na,
Speaker 1: y'all had gim good Morker coming there. Let me quip

Speaker 1: about having to pay nine million dollars next year to injury,
Speaker 1: they made the move. Can I ask you a question
Speaker 1: real quick? Do y'all think it's more about his play
Speaker 1: on the field or the youth and talent we had
Speaker 1: behind needing reps to get out there? Like? What do
Speaker 1: you think was the main factor and that this guy's
Speaker 1: being released? Yeah, I want the finances, the financial situation,
Speaker 1: But I think that they feel comfortable with some of
Speaker 1: the young guys they have coming up. Jabril Cox uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as one of those guys. I think they
Speaker 1: want to see what he has. Um. I think we've
Speaker 1: seen what Jalen has and it's been okay. But I
Speaker 1: think they picked between him and Lady Vanderesh and they figured,
Speaker 1: you know, lady Vanders was a little bit more productive
Speaker 1: than him. So they're gonna let some guys, some young
Speaker 1: guys come up and take some of that time. Also,
Speaker 1: I was told that Jeron Curse, Yeah, has been been
Speaker 1: able to you know, play in some you know, some
Speaker 1: nickel situations a little bit get down there because of
Speaker 1: that big frame and you know, being past a situation.
Speaker 1: So so he's they want to make sure he's got
Speaker 1: a spot out there. So I had said before, I
Speaker 1: didn't think there was any issue with keeping jail because
Speaker 1: it was sunken costs. You weren't going to get the
Speaker 1: money back. But I keep hearing more and more about
Speaker 1: they did not want to take a chance that that
Speaker 1: injury he got injured or ah ka pass physical. Now
Speaker 1: you have nine million dollars. He had risk surgery in
Speaker 1: the off season, so that guaranteed the money is too
Speaker 1: see risk risk rich. They didn't want to do it
Speaker 1: and go back and where we keep talking about they
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys up progress stopper. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: when you got that guy like Michael Parsons who comes
Speaker 1: in the door from from from day one, just just
Speaker 1: making noise and being productive out there, I mean, you
Speaker 1: knew the writing was on the wall. I mean you knew.
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't you know they they drafted all
Speaker 1: these guys in the off season, but you couldn't release
Speaker 1: him back then because one because of the risk surgery
Speaker 1: that way he was having, and you didn't know how
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was going to develop. You didn't know how
Speaker 1: a Keano Neil coming from the transition from safety the linebacker,
Speaker 1: how he was going to develop. And he was hurt
Speaker 1: as well, coming off an achilles, So you didn't know
Speaker 1: how these guys were gonna respond out there. And then
Speaker 1: once they got the camp and once offseason, and once
Speaker 1: they got the camp and these preseason games started rolling around,
Speaker 1: and they said, man, look we got something at this
Speaker 1: lineback and court. Now we got Parsons at you know, Nicol,
Speaker 1: we can bring Keyano kneeling there and Nickel as well.
Speaker 1: And they saw how they were flying around the ball.
Speaker 1: We've seen how they played at Arizona, stripping up ball
Speaker 1: out there, stopping to run as well as anybody we've
Speaker 1: had in a long time. So that thing, I think
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it, as well as
Speaker 1: these young guys coming in pushing him out the door.
Speaker 1: Because when you talk about constant financials, I mean he
Speaker 1: was already in there. It was the money was already guaranteed,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like they was gonna lose the bread.
Speaker 1: But these young guys just kind of pushed him out
Speaker 1: the door. But if it's me and I'm owing him,
Speaker 1: but on special teams, that quality control something people on
Speaker 1: something out there. See. I think I think that's one
Speaker 1: of the issues too. I think that there may have
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, but if I'm a guy who
Speaker 1: has been a starter, who changed my number, the number
Speaker 1: now I'm the guy right, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm slipping from four to maybe five to maybe not dressing.
Speaker 1: You know, like you have to know that in that
Speaker 1: locker room, in that linebacker room, there's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: like a divide, right, There's gonna be some people who like, man,
Speaker 1: they put they messing over Jal and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: some people are like, man, I'm getting my shot now,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So so I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 1: So I think they were trying to avoid that. Very unfortunate,
Speaker 1: but I do. I will say this, I think they
Speaker 1: gave him a fair shot. He got out there, he
Speaker 1: got it. They let him play, They let him go
Speaker 1: out there. I really believe that it was between him
Speaker 1: and fifty five, like they want to see if he
Speaker 1: was gonna be able to at least play up to that.
Speaker 1: And I think Lady vander As I'll played him and
Speaker 1: then the money really just Draft Night by the Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos really did him in. Yeah, because the Broncos I
Speaker 1: thought would take Justin Fields at the quarterback, but they
Speaker 1: took Patrick's ten because cowboys one of them you already
Speaker 1: had Carolina took Jacore early and so here it is,
Speaker 1: this was this was that stop. Okay, they're nine Cowboys
Speaker 1: are next, Yes, Patrick's Dan. I'm like a man, where
Speaker 1: are we gonna go? Yes? And then the Cowboys from
Speaker 1: ten trade down to twelve and then they take Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons and there you go. So I into it just happens.
Speaker 1: But I can I say this and I think we
Speaker 1: all can agree here. Let it fans understand, Jalen Smith
Speaker 1: was a quality person without a doubt, absolutely doubt. This
Speaker 1: was a Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee last
Speaker 1: year for the club. And you guys have been in
Speaker 1: the locker room and you know that that that's a
Speaker 1: serious honor when people from a from a team say, hey,
Speaker 1: look this this guy represents everything we want. Went back
Speaker 1: to order day and got his degree. He's very involved
Speaker 1: in businesses and helping people try to become an entrepreneurs. So, um,
Speaker 1: he's a good guy. And I hope that doesn't get
Speaker 1: lost people don't don't I'm sorry, and don't forget the path. Right.
Speaker 1: So not only a good guy, but a hard working guy,
Speaker 1: a guy who was resilient and went through a lot
Speaker 1: just to get back to playing on the field. And
Speaker 1: you have gone through an injury to where you're not
Speaker 1: even sure if you're gonna be the same. So he
Speaker 1: did that as well, and he had what nerve damage
Speaker 1: after that, you know, after that's tostitos, Fiesta Bowl or whatever.
Speaker 1: So for him to battle back take basically get a
Speaker 1: red shirt year his rookie year come back twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: played well. Twenty eighteen, he was considered, you know, him
Speaker 1: and Banders was considered the top tandem in the NFL. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely battled back from a lot. But
Speaker 1: I gotta say this, man, I would be sick. Man,
Speaker 1: y'all put me in, y'all made me the captain. It
Speaker 1: wasn't he the captain for the a lot of game
Speaker 1: and a couple of days later. Man, Hey, That's why
Speaker 1: I was a little bit more confusing. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like this mixed signals going on, man, because you had
Speaker 1: to believe that this was in the plan. Like at
Speaker 1: some point it's like, listen, if this doesn't work out,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to find a way to move on.
Speaker 1: And he's captain last week, it's like five days ago. Man,
Speaker 1: do you think three days ago, do you think they
Speaker 1: were already in his ear, like you know what? Or
Speaker 1: throughout the whole offseason and during the season, like look,
Speaker 1: you gotta play well. You know, if you don't play well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we have a chance to release you. We're
Speaker 1: gonna release you. Or you think this was just like
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, like hey man, you just your play
Speaker 1: ain't been up to charge. When they talk about it,
Speaker 1: go when they talk about the structure of the contract,
Speaker 1: that that's and usually those conversations, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: guys would know better than that. I don't know when
Speaker 1: they initiated the conversation, but hey, we want to change
Speaker 1: some things here with the contract. Usually they do that
Speaker 1: and then you decided to say, nah, you balk at it.
Speaker 1: Then then there you go. Me, this seems very bella
Speaker 1: checking other boys old. I told y'all my story now,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, I was. I was smooth through and
Speaker 1: my agent called me the day of finding releases and said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I think they want you to take a pay cut.
Speaker 1: And they called me in the office. I said, how
Speaker 1: much time do I have to think about it? He said,
Speaker 1: I'll walk out the room, walked up out of here.
Speaker 1: You released. So I mean it could go either way.
Speaker 1: They could have been talked about in an all season
Speaker 1: or it could have happened yesterday when we all found
Speaker 1: out same thing with get on, hey man, let's work
Speaker 1: on that contract. He said, no, okay, I mean this
Speaker 1: is just very Bill Belichick in and I also want
Speaker 1: to make sure you're I put this point out there.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys took Zeke fourth overall in twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 1: I said this because they have a bunch of those
Speaker 1: Notre Dame games on NBC where I worked. Jalen Smith
Speaker 1: at Nordre Dame was to me everything you see in
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons at that time. He was a Sideline's tideline guy.
Speaker 1: The guy made some fantastically. He was a fantastic player.
Speaker 1: And to see him get hurt against Ohio State in
Speaker 1: that Fiesta Bowl, it was devastating because I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, had Jalen Smith been healthy first round, No, No,
Speaker 1: he there's a guy that I could have seen the
Speaker 1: Cowboys taking it forth. That's how good he was then.
Speaker 1: And so we look at what marcu Mica is right now.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you in college before he got hurt,
Speaker 1: he was playing at a crazy level good like that.
Speaker 1: We're like, man, there's no doubt that guy right there
Speaker 1: at that position boom did your blue chip player difference maker,
Speaker 1: which is why they took the chance on him in
Speaker 1: the second round. By the way, that's the thing that
Speaker 1: people don't realize, man, the guy was just really really
Speaker 1: freely outstanding player, first round, typed talent they got in
Speaker 1: second round that took a chance on, almost like Randy Gregory.
Speaker 1: People forget, man, this guy was s thought to be
Speaker 1: a top ten pick before he slid down with his issues.
Speaker 1: So with Bruce Carter a couple of years before down right,
Speaker 1: So so my man Collins, Yeah yeah, slid on about
Speaker 1: the draft, yeah yeah, So some circumstances were there, but
Speaker 1: for him to work like he did and making himself
Speaker 1: a player that ended up getting becoming a Pro Bowl alternate. Man,
Speaker 1: my hats off to Jaalen and what he's trying to
Speaker 1: do off the field. The Cowboys decided they want to
Speaker 1: go in a different directions. So I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: sit up here and just say, man um, I get it.
Speaker 1: The reasons I'm hearing, I get it. Sometimes you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy that. I can hear this
Speaker 1: because you just look at guys who are coming back.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to change the roster, and you know
Speaker 1: who are going to be some people that don't make it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm hearing Bradley and I Bradley and I
Speaker 1: may not make it, you know. Downs as guys are
Speaker 1: strying to come back, they're gonna be needing some spots here,
Speaker 1: and Jalen was a spot. They looked at the money
Speaker 1: and the next year they didn't want to guarantee the
Speaker 1: nine considering how many guys who are up there. So
Speaker 1: good luck to Jaylen Smith. Yeah, ends on a contender
Speaker 1: as he goes forward. I'm not gonna dump on the
Speaker 1: guy like so many people are out there. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna do it. This is not an
Speaker 1: easy day, you know whatever. We were laughing joke on
Speaker 1: the players lounge about you know, well, you know, little stuff,
Speaker 1: but this is like the reality of the NFL, all right,
Speaker 1: So we have being former players and having to go
Speaker 1: through stuff like that. It ain't easy, all right. It
Speaker 1: just seems like it's, oh, yeah, he gonna find something
Speaker 1: to do. He rich, he got whatever. It ain't slap
Speaker 1: in the face. So dude, what do you guys do
Speaker 1: when that happened? You called teammate going over me? What
Speaker 1: do you do when something like that? When I got
Speaker 1: released from Jacksonville, see, I was a lot older and
Speaker 1: like I was further on him. I was in my
Speaker 1: ninth year, so I was a lot older and way
Speaker 1: out of my prime. So I knew like after that season, regardless,
Speaker 1: I was gonna call it a day, Like my body
Speaker 1: was hurt and everything like that. So it was kind
Speaker 1: of different for me because when I got released, it
Speaker 1: was just like it was the same situation. They still
Speaker 1: owed me money Jacksonville did, so you know, I was
Speaker 1: just like, all right, well, this is it, this is done.
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do as my next you know point,
Speaker 1: my next chapter in life? So but with Jalen situation,
Speaker 1: you could say he's still young. He's still kind of
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's in the prime of his football career,
Speaker 1: but he's still young. He still wants to go out there.
Speaker 1: Like you said, he still wants to sign with a contender,
Speaker 1: so they're different situations. But like I said, this is
Speaker 1: a slap in the face for your pride, because you
Speaker 1: definitely wanted to be a part of what's going on
Speaker 1: with Dallas, especially the way they're playing right now. You
Speaker 1: definitely wanted to be a part of that Super Bowl
Speaker 1: run that they're trying to go on right now. But
Speaker 1: to me, mostly it's a slap in the face just
Speaker 1: because hey, you wanted to play and got your spot taking.
Speaker 1: So it's a little prideful hurt. You're proud a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm surrounding myself with the family, you know, calling, calling
Speaker 1: whoever it is who I can kind of kind of
Speaker 1: spill spill my mind too at that time, just to
Speaker 1: get some stuff off my chest. Um grabbed me a
Speaker 1: couple of bruskies, you know what I'm saying. Sit back
Speaker 1: and relax, man, sit back and reprocess man. And then
Speaker 1: so he can so he can get back to what
Speaker 1: he needs to do to get back in the league.
Speaker 1: And uh, he's been able to do that before, so
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be able to do it again. All Right,
Speaker 1: let's hit a break here. And there are times when
Speaker 1: when when folks or have questioned Mike McCarthy, I mean
Speaker 1: there's this comes with the job as to head coach,

Speaker 1: I keep hearing more and more of this urban Meyer
Speaker 1: stuff in Jacksonville, and just how this man could just
Speaker 1: continuously continues, just embarrassed himself, embarrassing family, embarrassed his team.
Speaker 1: And I said to myself, you know what, gotta get
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy some credit here. The guy hasn't done anything
Speaker 1: in terms you know, you can question him on the
Speaker 1: field like a game to SERTs things like that, but
Speaker 1: just in terms of being a representative of the team
Speaker 1: and being a guy who has some respected locker room dudes.
Speaker 1: Got it. You look at this list of Urban Meyer
Speaker 1: for the time this man has gotten here. Jacksonville hired
Speaker 1: Chris Doyle as a team's director of sports performances. Doyle
Speaker 1: was accused of making racist comments and be littling players
Speaker 1: during his time in Iowa. After a heavy backlash, Doyle
Speaker 1: resigned from the Jaguars and by the way, Urban Meyer
Speaker 1: defendant and said, you are I vetted him signed him.
Speaker 1: T Bas a tight end, drafted a running back in
Speaker 1: the first round. Despite already having James Robinson on the roster,
Speaker 1: openly admitted that he was hoping to draft Kadarius Tony
Speaker 1: with the pick they used on Travis atn told reporters
Speaker 1: that they cut players due to their vaccine status. The
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association opened up investigation to those comments. Had
Speaker 1: an open competition for the starting quarterback job between Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, and Gardner Minshew. Minshew was
Speaker 1: traded a few weeks later, but split valuable first team
Speaker 1: reps with Lawrence traded away last year's number nine overall pick.
Speaker 1: Team starts OH and four didn't travel with the team
Speaker 1: at to their Week four lost of Cincinnati. Viral videos
Speaker 1: and photos emerge with him and another woman who was
Speaker 1: not his wife. Owner releases the statement that urban Meyer
Speaker 1: must regain trust and respect, and then urban Meyer today
Speaker 1: says that it's the team they're gonna decide. How you know, discoes,
Speaker 1: But what do you mean it's the team, You're the
Speaker 1: coach looking at this guy. They're just saying, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're a cowboy fan, your coach isn't doing this
Speaker 1: what you you know, the questions you have about your
Speaker 1: coach it's not about him. It's not about his character,
Speaker 1: it's not about his ability to do the job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's this this man is he's overmatched newly. I love you,
Speaker 1: all right, listen, really, I love you. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We are friends, okay, but but I am
Speaker 1: not about to let you get Mike McCarthy no probs
Speaker 1: for doing the right thing. All right, come on, man,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna because irbant may are here messing up.
Speaker 1: We gotta give Mike McCarthy's the proples with being a
Speaker 1: good guy. He's supposed to be a good guy. We
Speaker 1: hope he taking the plane ride back. We hope he
Speaker 1: not out of the bar, you know, of course. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, thankful, thankful for you that. I will say this,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy with their three and one, so he does
Speaker 1: deserve some credit for the team being three and one.
Speaker 1: He's the head guy. Because they were one and three,
Speaker 1: he will be getting all the blame. So yeah, shout
Speaker 1: out to him for having his team right, especially coming
Speaker 1: off the season that they had last year and all
Speaker 1: the questions that we had about some of the decisions
Speaker 1: that he's been making. Some of it is still time
Speaker 1: management that we're still a little confused about. But you're
Speaker 1: three and one team. No apologies, but for being a
Speaker 1: good guy. Hey man, let's say you know we should live.
Speaker 1: We should give Pete Carroll some props we should get.
Speaker 1: We want to go through the list everybody except Urban
Speaker 1: when you everybody getting props? All right, good guys, once
Speaker 1: a time you were when you were in diapers. You
Speaker 1: may not even born. But the cowboys had a little
Speaker 1: image problem and they were trying to clean it up.
Speaker 1: And the head coach takes a gun to the airport.
Speaker 1: I fear you very soon they checks. They got the
Speaker 1: airport check very soon. Got brought a gun to the airport.
Speaker 1: Juela centwn ain't and Jerry was like, man, we try
Speaker 1: to clean up o images. You got a gun at
Speaker 1: the airport. Listen, we had no image problem since I
Speaker 1: got here. Waye Phillips wasn't the image problem. Jason Grill
Speaker 1: wasn't an image problem, and Mike McCarthy is not an
Speaker 1: immage problem. I look up here that I just see
Speaker 1: this man, you know, your boy shot and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: wake up Brown, I'm thinking about something. You got seb minutes,
Speaker 1: seb minutes, Okay, give me some minutes. Played golf this
Speaker 1: morning nine I went for runners. I've been up since
Speaker 1: three thirty. Man, I was three thirty. So um, I'm sorry, man,
Speaker 1: but you man shot Com paid all this cash from
Speaker 1: for urban and this guy can't do the simple things
Speaker 1: and a little I'm surprised he wrote a book. The
Speaker 1: name of the book was called above the law. I
Speaker 1: mean above the line, above the line, like you did.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to operate above the stop this and you
Speaker 1: just hear there's no respect in that locker room from him?
Speaker 1: And and uh, man, I'm telling you, I just, I
Speaker 1: just I did not expect this. How do you reprimand
Speaker 1: one of your plagues? You shouldn't be doing this. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. Coach, man, hold on, we just
Speaker 1: we live laws. Are you in the streets? Like would you?
Speaker 1: What did you take? Hey? Coaches? A matter of fact,
Speaker 1: were playing in Vegas. I ain't flying back with the
Speaker 1: tea thing. I'm gonna stay a little big game. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll see y'all on Monday. But what at what point
Speaker 1: is that? What a shot gun doing? Though? What did
Speaker 1: he throw? Did he throw the lawd I keep saying
Speaker 1: they said he threw Lawrence under the bust or he
Speaker 1: kind of put him in this in this thing. What
Speaker 1: was that all about? So Lawrence is having a birth
Speaker 1: bachelor party and in Vegas, and so he was kind
Speaker 1: of like, I guess trying to put up the warning
Speaker 1: flags and like how you should act anyway? You know,
Speaker 1: just once again you you're trying to operate on this
Speaker 1: level and you're not. And then you after he came
Speaker 1: out with that video, the media session with the apology
Speaker 1: came the second video and the second video show you
Speaker 1: know my man was was touchy feeley. I ain't seen
Speaker 1: that one. I ain't seen now. I ain't seen now
Speaker 1: one man, somebody somebody sitting that just go to Twitter.
Speaker 1: It's that Urban was happy about these these releases, these
Speaker 1: releases coming up because it got the pressure off. And
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the news wasn't all on him.
Speaker 1: It was on you know, Jalen getting released here stephone Gilmore,
Speaker 1: get released him. What is the man shot gun doing? Okay?
Speaker 1: Because I hear you talk all this stuff about Tom
Speaker 1: Coughlin when he was there Wild Wild and finding finding guys,
Speaker 1: giving it to his charity, dictating the guy that he
Speaker 1: brought it. Now you breaking in Urban Meyer, and you
Speaker 1: you let Urban Meyers start. He's a he's a rookie
Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL. He's vetting guys, and you're not.
Speaker 1: You're not looking at it too and saying, you know,
Speaker 1: let me talk to this guy too, let me do
Speaker 1: a little research. It's just whatever Urban says is okay,
Speaker 1: I'm making this dude fly back with the team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that was. That was that was. You got a
Speaker 1: responsibility to, like, look, watch over your the head coach,
Speaker 1: no matter what. Yeah, you're supposed to be with them. Bro,
Speaker 1: it's worried about his other team. You got his soccer team. See,
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. I am a god. So I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I tried to Mike McCarthy some props for you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of appreciate. I appreciate the professional Listen me too.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the professionals. We're all good guys. Do the
Speaker 1: right thing, do the right thing. You liked good for
Speaker 1: I'm getting props being a good guy movie Church. You
Speaker 1: get pros being a good guy. Appreciate that. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We need more people like y'all. I appreciate.
Speaker 1: Somebody told me the other day I was a horrible
Speaker 1: human being self. Man, I have to take my statement
Speaker 1: back story, man, going on, what did you do? Can't
Speaker 1: just drop that and be like, yeah, I might have
Speaker 1: to recant that's man. What's going on over in the
Speaker 1: New Year? Hey man? You know everybody, everybody don't love
Speaker 1: you all the time. Everybody loved Jesus Christ Christ, so
Speaker 1: you know, I can't expect to be loved either. You know,
Speaker 1: the greatest man walked the Earth. Take he gets shot
Speaker 1: up by people. People take a shots out. So it's
Speaker 1: all good. It's all good. Um, we didn't even touch
Speaker 1: on the giants here, but we had so much stuff
Speaker 1: kind of going on. I'm looking at Jason Garrett and
Speaker 1: what he's done with Daniel Jones. Do you think Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones is becoming a better quarterback? Yes? No, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's been. He's gotten better since Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: got there. Unfortunately, you know, they've had some injuries that
Speaker 1: have stopped them for being the team that I'm sure
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett wants them to be that running team and
Speaker 1: him being able to just work off play action based
Speaker 1: on what sat Quan's they were doing the running game.
Speaker 1: So he's been having to do more than Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: wants him to do. But I think he's he's getting better.
Speaker 1: I will say he's getting a little bit. He's not
Speaker 1: as turnover prone as he's been in the past. We
Speaker 1: know he was a walking you know, turnover going right there.
Speaker 1: He's either throw you the ball, he's gonna drop the
Speaker 1: ball somebody comes near him. So I think he's taking
Speaker 1: care of the ball a little bit better. He's always
Speaker 1: had the arm, the arm to play in this league.
Speaker 1: He's getting a little bit more accurate there. And he
Speaker 1: seems to be taking more risk with his legs. He
Speaker 1: seemed to realize that his legs are you know, not
Speaker 1: a downfall, but can be an asset towards him. So
Speaker 1: I feel like he's getting a little bit better. Not
Speaker 1: to be confused with good or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: just think he's, you know, getting a little bit better.
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't play well by the end of
Speaker 1: this season, I can see them, you know, moving on
Speaker 1: from from Danny Dames. Yeah, they got to get that
Speaker 1: running game going. That's the only thing. I think, that's
Speaker 1: the only thing they can say. And and you say that,
Speaker 1: and I come back to this real simple thing that
Speaker 1: their offensive line is not good and that's on the
Speaker 1: general manager Dave Getleman and the owner John Mayra. They
Speaker 1: have not put together a good offensive line, and that
Speaker 1: was what Gettleman said he was going to do when
Speaker 1: he got there for the football team. Their number one
Speaker 1: pick that they took last year out of Georgia Andrew Thomas.
Speaker 1: That was a five six good tackles in that draft.
Speaker 1: He was the first one gone and he wasn't I
Speaker 1: thought he was. To me, he looked like a Tyrant
Speaker 1: Smith type player, big lean kind of tackle, the kind
Speaker 1: of guy that Jason likes here and had. I could
Speaker 1: see Jason and Joe Judge looking at Thomas saying, book,
Speaker 1: this could be another young Tyrant Smith. It just hadn't
Speaker 1: worked out. And I guess I'm making an excuse for him.
Speaker 1: But going through COVID last year, there are some players
Speaker 1: who just you know, didn't have good years. They affected him.
Speaker 1: Some guys need to be on the field with coaches.
Speaker 1: And he's been better this year, but I just still
Speaker 1: think all the way across it starts with the offensive line.
Speaker 1: The kid they took out of utep Hernandez, the guard,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been what I thought he would be. They
Speaker 1: gave all that money to Soldier, which was dumb because
Speaker 1: will Bill Belichick thinks you gone and cooked. You know right,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? So did? They just have not
Speaker 1: been able to build the offensive line, And that was
Speaker 1: something that under Jerry recent Tom Coughlin they did a
Speaker 1: good job of. They were good on both lines offense
Speaker 1: and defense. And so when I look at the kind
Speaker 1: of criticism Jason is getting, I just keep kind of
Speaker 1: saying to myself, at some point time, you guys gonna
Speaker 1: talk about this line, and even for Danny, for Danny Dimes,
Speaker 1: a good offensive line solves a whole lot of problems,
Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems, and too many teams, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, just don't do it. Go get Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: left tackle. Church still ain't gonna better than Herbert, but
Speaker 1: if you watch, don't get him left tackles. Got this
Speaker 1: week is kids. They already Cincinnati and they're gonna take it.
