And this is a 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.760 two week period there a lot goes on. There is 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.880 a lot happening in the NFL. You've got draft preparation, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:11.759 coaching carousels. You've got continued looks at rosters and self 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:12.759 reflection and. 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:13.959 A whole lot of craziness. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.000 But we're here to break it down for you here 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.760 over the next forty five minutes, We've got Isaiah Standback, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.279 John Machoda. 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.840 I'm Kyle Yeomans. Nick Harris is out at the Senior Bowl. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.479 In Mobile, Alabama, Mobile and we'll check in with him 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.760 in a couple of minutes in Mobail in Mobile. Yeah, 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.280 what do you think about the Senior Bowl? You like 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.080 watching these practices every once in a while. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.560 No, yeah, I kind of figure you're not a draft guy. 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.800 I'm not a draft guy neither. Jo. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:38.640 Yeah. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.760 I mean some years I am. It depends on the class. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.640 It's turns down where the Cowboys are. 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.120 Picking outside the top twenty. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.160 Factor in uh, but yeah, this year, I don't know. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.680 I think part of it with me too, is probably 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.240 just because they didn't get a ton of their draft 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.360 class this year in terms of contribution, So when they 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.440 have so many other years in the past that immediately 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.960 have had guys have helped. And I think that's subconsciously 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.000 has factored in with me too. And I don't think 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.480 that I would be alone in this. I think there's 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.200 probably some other people that follow the Cowboys or Cowboys fans, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.480 they probably feel the same way. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.440 Just after you know your first picks. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.280 Mazzie Smith and then Luke Schoonmaker and then to Marvin 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.320 Overshow and get Hurt, I mean that's those are your 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.840 premium picks that you would expect could help you right away, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.280 and to not get much from them. It just it's 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.400 kind of hard to sit there and sell like no, no, no. 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.120 But this year, like they're going to get this guy 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.320 here and this guy here and this guy here, and 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.240 they're all going to help immediately. And they might you 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.760 don't know. I mean that's the thing about the draft 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.639 from year to year, it's different. But also I think 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.520 they're gonna take an offensive lineman in the first round, 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.920 and that's not as. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.520 Sexy as maybe some other positions. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.840 When they know it's sexy. About to say, Isaiah, that 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.760 might be the one way, one way to get him 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.160 excited about it. That's right, that's right. I need o line. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.160 Is that brick? It is brick? Yeah. On the NFL network, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.600 our fans can't see that though. Sorry sorry coach. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.560 Yeah, old Liman is definitely sexy. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:56.639 You might be interested. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.680 I know what is sexy. You know what's sexy scoring points. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.440 Look at all the teams that were playing this past weekend. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.080 All four teams had the ability to line up and 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.840 just run the ball right at your face. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.440 Yeah, that's sexy. Yeah. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.040 I'm just saying, if we're gonna go ahead and put 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.080 the title sexy on me? That is it sexy? The 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.400 definition of sexy and football is being able to run 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.760 the ball and impose your will anytime you want it to. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.400 Yeah, I mean to a certain extent. I mean if 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.920 you win the game that way, yeah, then it is. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.480 But if you lose, I mean you would like you 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.639 would like to have the ability to do other things. Yeah, right, 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.320 But I mean, like the game of football, you should 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.200 always be able to just line up and run it. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.720 And this team, this Cowboys team, was not able to 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:35.920 do that. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.560 They did not possess that this new year. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.440 But it makes you wonder, okay, to just adding one 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.240 premium offensive lineman draft pick and to change that. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.119 It might it might. Yeah. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.960 You added Tyler Smith and he did pretty dog on will. Yeah, 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.400 and he's played two positions for you. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.400 Yeah, so I think. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.400 You could help and move it in the right direction. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.160 Is it going to be the be all indo all 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.520 solve all problem? 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:58.240 Probably not. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.000 But does that also will limit you from doing anything else? 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.920 I mean of vamping your run game? Probably? Three years 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.680 ago to Kansas City chief was three years ago. Two 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:07.119 years ago. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.600 Two years ago, Kansas City Chiefs swapped out four new 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:12.280 office linemen. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.440 They got four new offices. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.920 Going into last year, so two full season, two seasons ago. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.400 Yeah, they got four out of five office linemen. They're 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.440 brand new, right, whether you're in acquisitions through free agency 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.599 or through the draft, right, and look where they are now. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.480 I hate using them as an example. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.560 Okay, let's not use them then. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:35.040 Yeah, they're a bad example because I like, hold on, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.880 maybe we might disagree on this. So, like I'm of 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.200 the belief that I'm not saying Patrick Mahomes turns Carolina 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.039 into an instant super Bowl contender, but what he like 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.159 elevates even a Carolina Panthers to he would make like 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.520 players on their team that right now, probably people in 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.960 Carolina are like, man, you get rid of this guy, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.920 You get rid of this guy. Like he elevates everybody's 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.039 play so much higher than what I think it would 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.320 be with a lot of other players. That it's so 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.360 difficult for me to judge Kansas City because of Patrick 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.080 Mahomes because he has he just has the it factor. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.920 He's just so special. We're watching greatness in its prime. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.080 I totally so, I just that's the only team out 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:09.279 like he. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.000 Was, him and Kelsey both, I mean, and that defense, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.279 those two guys are going to get a lot of 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.680 the credit, Mahomes and Kelsey, and they definitely should. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.760 They're both incredible and they both have that hit factor. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.840 But that defense is legit as well. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.600 That is nasty, great defensive coordinator to you. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.720 But you look at the other three teams that were 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.480 in the conference finals, talk about them. Baltimore number one 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.880 rushing yards per game this year, San Francisco number three 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.160 rushing yards per game this year, and Detroit number. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.559 Five rushing yards this year. So three of the top 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.920 four teams in terms of the. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.440 Conference final finish. We're also three of the top five 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:45.680 teams in terms of running the full. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.920 All those teams have good receivers and good quarterbacks, right yeah, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:50.960 not great quarterba. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.360 Yeah yeah yeah yeah. But they said they can still 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.520 throw the ball. It isn't the gate. Their ability to 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.359 be able to throw it. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.200 And a good run game helps your past game. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.360 Too, I swear that's kind of the thing around here 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:02.479 when you could run the ball. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.880 Just for reference, Dallas finished fourteenth in that category rushing 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.760 yards per game. It's interesting, and that might have been 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.080 ballooned by some games that were out of hand. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.240 Then you blew out it probably we have the ability 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:16.960 to go back and see when Dallas was ranked in 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.520 the top five in rushing. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.680 Oh, they probably were within the last couple of years. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.360 Yeah, I think I would say probably twenty one or 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:22.839 twenty two. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.440 Yeah, twenty they weren't very good. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.000 But I bet you one of these last two years, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.400 I thought they ran the ball pretty well. Maybe they 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.039 didn't run it enough, but I thought they ran it 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:32.760 well when they needed to. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:33.680 The last couple of years. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.240 They were ninth in twenty twenty two, eighteenth in yards 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.159 per play. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.640 Twenty twenty one. As my WiFi is very slow, by 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:44.040 the way. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.040 They were twentieth in yards per play yards per rush 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.840 this year, So they were fourteenth overall, but they were 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.560 twentieth bottom. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.560 And what was that like four something four point It 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.640 was four point years. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.200 Zero one ish, Yeah, it was something like that. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:56.480 Now. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.600 But I'm just interested because this offseason there could be 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.160 a lot of change just to the Cowboys run game, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.839 you know, whether you talk about add an offensive lineman 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.320 in the draft, you know, running back position. I think 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.280 there's gonna be some new pieces there. So, and let's 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.160 be honest, Mike McCarthy does want to run the ball. 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.440 He's said this multiple times. I would think that there's 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.880 gonna be a lot of focus on how do they 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.600 fix that, how do they get better in that area? 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.800 Do you think that he gave up on that this year. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.880 To a certain extent, But I also think that to 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.360 a certain extent, you have to if you if you 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.040 can't just keep banging your head against the wall and 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.480 be like, yeah, you know, we could have won twelve 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.840 games and set ourselves stuff for the two seed, but 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.040 I want to establish a running game, which never happened, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.240 and we got a wild card, and you know, we 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.120 ended up as the five seed and whatever lost in 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.400 the first round, which I guess is the same thing 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.000 that still happened. But they I think adjusting their offense 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:48.640 allowed to put them in a position to be the 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.480 two seed, and with how they've played at home, that's 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.280 all you can ask for. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.200 By the way, last time Dallas was in the top 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.760 five in terms of rushing yards per game twenty nineteen, 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:57.760 So before like. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.720 McCarthy got here, you're like, nineteen ninety three, yeah, nineteen 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.280 seventy six, No, it was they were fifth and thirty 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:07.040 four yards per game. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.760 They were fifth in both rushing yards per game and 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.880 yards per play yards per rush four. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.280 Point eight Wow in twenty nineteen. Pretty good. It's pretty solid. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.280 And they were also the top offense in the country 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.960 that year because they were number two in passing and 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.760 they were number one in total yards. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:24.160 Interesting. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.160 It is funny though, because to me, this on paper 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.840 was the best Cowboys team, especially with factoring in being 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.040 battle tested, having gone through making playoffs things like that, 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.120 like they were ready to roll veteran coaching staff and 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.080 all that. But it is interesting because when I go 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.760 back to what would be the best team since then 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.520 that the Cowboys have had, I go to sixteen and fourteen, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.160 and when I think of sixteen and fourteen, it's all 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.880 about like, how good they were running the football? 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.520 What was the office of line in twenty nineteen? 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.640 You still had Frederick, you had you had just gotten 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:58.319 rid of Leary, so it was Smith, Martin, Frederick, Connor Williams. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.000 That sounds about right, Yeah, And that loss in Frederick 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:01.480 is huge. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.040 Man, who is who is your right tackle at that point? No, 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.320 it was it was totally lyo. Yeah. So there's your 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.680 starting file offense lie pretty good offensive one. Yeah. Yeah. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.920 I just think the correlation is just crazy. Yeah, that's all. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.320 But I mean, I'm saying, if you it is a 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.360 freak thing that happened with Travis Frederick. If you put 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.120 Travis Frederick with this offensive line, just how would elevate 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:24.720 everything else? 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:30.000 So it answers your question, there's one superstar office alignment 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.559 change change up how this offense is really right? 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.560 You know that Travis Frederick is a superstar. Whenever you 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.000 draft a guy at twenty. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.920 Four over saying, if you're able to go select, there's 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.600 a solid I don't know much about the draft, but. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.439 It's actually really really deep the terms office line to 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:47.080 my understanding. 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.679 Okay, So whether you go in free agency and I 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.719 don't know how many guys are available and grab a 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.719 veteran office a lineman, or you grab one of these 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.000 young rookies who are capable if you add an additional 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.960 piece there, Yes, I believe that, and I honestly I'm 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.280 in the mindset that you need to have two because 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.439 I think that you need to bring somebody in to 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.880 be the successor to to Tyrone. Okay, and I also 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.000 think that you if you can find an absolute dog, 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.400 you double there. See if you can find an absolute 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.800 dog at center, Okay, be honist if you know what 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.520 you you know what you're gonna get out of him, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.880 right there's I don't I'm not one to put limits 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.400 on anybody, but I think that you have a great 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.480 understanding asset of what you can expect. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.120 Out of Tyler Beyadis. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.959 He is a free agent though, understand that, That's what 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.679 I'm saying, So you have a choice to retain him 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.280 or not. But if you can find somebody that's an 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.959 upgrade to that position, I would love to see you 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.520 find a successor to Tyrann and find a replacement for Tyler. 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.280 Thank you for what you've done. You've done a good job. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:45.079 But I would like to see somebody who's bigger, more physical, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:49.280 more dominant at the center of your offensive line, somebody 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.439 who touches the ball every time I want to complete 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:52.679 just pitbull. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.840 What about when you talk about that, what about the 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.960 idea that you know you bring in this young center 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.760 who I guess, I guess you could say take him 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.679 in the first round, second or whatever you bring him in. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.280 What about the knowledge you know? I kind of feel 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.840 like that position there's so much going on, you have 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.920 to know so much about the game. Bringing in a 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.400 young guy from college the growing pains that you have 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:13.600 to go. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.320 I would much rather bring in a first round left 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.600 tackle than bring in a veteran center if I had 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:20.360 the choice, I got you. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.680 Yeah, well your left tackle of the future too, because 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.480 you could either move Tyler Smith out to left tackle 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.679 or you could keep him at guard. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.959 Where he's been very successful. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:31.800 And you throw a guy out of the left tackle 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.640 that you trust, and then you've got those two guys 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.400 for a significant amount of time, and. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.199 Then you hope that they can stay healthy and you 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.560 could get at least four of them. Yeah, I feel 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.320 like asking for five is too much, but at least 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.960 four guys that are going to be constantly there week 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.240 after week and kind of build around that. But I 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:47.840 do like that idea though, when you say about the 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.720 veteran center position, because like I said, like, yeah, it's 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:52.319 great to have. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:53.520 Man, I'm trying to. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.040 Think of who was the one that, like everybody loved 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.400 was a Tyler Linderbaum. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.320 Yeah, is he a center? 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.400 Yeah, like a guy like that that instantly comes everyone that, Yeah, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.959 you like love him in that and he going in 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:02.560 the first He went in. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.439 The first, in the first round. Yes, he was playing 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.080 this past weekend with more Ravens. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.880 Yeah, but but you said, though, like number one rushing 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.360 team in the country first round. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.960 Didn't they pick up another office lineman that same year? Probably? 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.760 Yeah, the Ravens are an incredible drafting class. I can 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.640 give you an actual answer there. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.680 But I think they picked up some I remember them 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.800 drafting like a giant office lineman. I mean I think 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:24.840 it was. I don't know if it was last year. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.240 I feel like that's what the Ravens do. Yeah, that's 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.160 just what they do. Uh. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.840 With that being said, though you're talking about not watching 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.240 these practices, you may want to watch these practices. There's 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.880 about four or five individuals, Isaiah, that are offensive linemen 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.120 that are legitimate players that the Cowboys could draft at 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:42.559 twenty four. 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.840 Yeah, legitimate offensive lineman. Tyler gotten out of Oklahoma. You've 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.760 got the Arizona offensive tackle. You've got Uh. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.280 There's another Oregon center that's really good, Jackson Powers. Johnson Dude, 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:54.840 he's a dude. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.000 I promise. I know he's he played for the wrong team, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.120 but he's a good player. 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:00.319 He's isaiahs board. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:01.599 Yeah, he's done. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.400 I do I do enjoy reading about the draft, like 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.480 at the Athletic Daan Brugler. I believe he's the best 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.760 in the business, and I love reading he's obviously out 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.520 at Senior Pool. I love reading his stuff and h 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.600 and the takeaways people have for being out there. I 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.160 just I'm not one of these guys like sit in 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.559 the stands with a Stopwatch and that. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.240 I love that stuff. If I could be in Mobile 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:20.680 right now. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.960 I would totally be in Mobile right now. I usually go, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.640 but we've got triplets on the way, so I will say, like, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.360 I'm gonna stay put this offseason. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:30.880 Next year, I will be back in Mobile. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.720 That's probably smart. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.359 This past year, though, I did enjoy going on Saturday 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:41.080 at the Combine to watch the wide receivers run the forties. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:41.200 Like. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.360 I enjoyed that because you know who all these top 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:44.040 receivers are. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.120 You saw most of them in college. And I'll probably 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.760 do that again at the. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.840 It was the first year they led us actually in 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.319 the building to watch it too, which was really cool. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.320 So yeah, I'll see there's I heard there's a good 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.520 wide receiver from Washington there. 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.280 I'll tell my know, a couple of guys. Yeah, a 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.760 couple guys there. It's a pretty decent quarterback coming out 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:00.440 of the last two. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:01.720 Good memory. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.000 By the way, Daniel Filelly from Minnesota six foot eight, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.200 three eighty five pounds is who they drafted that same 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.560 year they took Tyler Linderbaum in the first They took 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:12.640 him a little bit later on. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.240 Yeah, good one. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.320 Yeah, he was the third, third or second tallest player 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.320 and the largest. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.280 Player in terms of weight shit in the draft. So 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.800 he was very, very very high in that regard. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.240 Let's get a little bit of news and notes, John, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.800 There's a couple little nuggets from. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.320 This past week that Cowboys fans would find interesting. Yeah. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.440 I think the biggest one by far, and it's actually two, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.520 is just who are the new offensive and defensive coordinators 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.120 for the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, for offensive coordinator would 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.560 be Kellen Moore to come over from the Chargers. And 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.320 I did find it entertaining, and as I reached out 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.360 to a few other colleagues that work in the NFL. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.320 How Cowboys fans on Twitter reacted to the Kellen Moore 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.000 news like happy that that happens. I'm just like, huh, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.040 careful what you wish for with that one there? What 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.320 did you guys think about that? I was kind of surprised. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.120 I was shocked too one because of the style of 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.800 play that they seemingly want to play with running the 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.560 football and using Jalen Hurts as a runner. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.600 It just doesn't feel like they lined up well with Kellen. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:23.160 But I agree with you. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.080 I'm surprised in the fact that everybody's happy that he's 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.800 going to Philadelphia, in the fact that he's a good 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:30.840 offensive coordinator. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.320 He had an okay year in LA. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.400 I mean, we just talked about how he had the 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.440 top offense in Dallas multiple years, even though they couldn't 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.200 run the football from twenty twenty forward. But this is 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.040 a team that has a ton of prospects. They have 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.520 a ton of weapons, and he's going to find a 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.640 way to utilize those weapons. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.680 Yeah, I don't like him being a Philly I don't 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.000 like I don't know why people would be happy. I 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.000 don't know what people are leaning on as if it's 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.960 a good thing that you're going to see him twice 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:57.280 a year. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.320 Kellen Moore is a dude. He's a dude. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.480 Is are things that he needs to continue to develop 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.320 and change about his offensive play, you know, calling style. 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.080 Absolutely, He's still not perfect. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.800 He's not perfect. He's still a young Officer of Coordinator. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.840 I mean, Andy Reid's been around league one hundred seventy 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.160 two years, so I mean he's a Jedi. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.440 I think it was seventy three. Yeah, sorry, mister year. Yeah. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.640 But Kellen Moore is still young. I mean, what is 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.960 he He's in his thirties, right, yeah, yeah, like mid thirties. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.800
