We all know being former player, that when 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.800 it comes to that time at the end of the year, 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.240 especially when you're not playing for anything, they sit you, 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.640 they wrest you. They say, hey, next year, get ready. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.200 We don't want to know unnecessarily injuries, any of that. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.520 The rest of you, guys, you out here that's playing 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.240 your job is an interview. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.239 Nothing is solid or guaranteed. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:58.040 If you was the. 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.800 Guy, and you are the guy that you claim to be, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.040 you will be sitting down and you will be rested. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.920 You will be sitting there and they will say, hey, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.920 we cannot lose no key components right now because we've 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.560 seen what happened last year. You had all the injuries 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.280 being affected. And then if we go out here, what little. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.080 Pieces that we do have in this catastrophe that we 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.840 got going on, We don't want to risk you. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:19.800 You if you're you're, if you're. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.679 A hot commodity, you're gonna sit that out over there 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:22.440 there like you don't worry. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.679 You don't wear your good shoes on the last day 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:25.160 of school. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.000 You saved those for the big important dance, and right 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.120 now nobody has been the few that we have seen 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.480 that are a big important dance. Ceedee lamb. You sit 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.280 them down and you say, hey, I ar buddy, Hey 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.160 we need you buddy. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:39.600 Yeah. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.560 I mean that goes all the way to that goes 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.520 all the way to guys like Brandon Cooks and his 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.400 mismanagement you know over this last season. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.679 Kept it down is mismanaged Cooks? 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.160 Yeah, I don't think. I don't think it's mismanagement. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.160 This man rolled a thout and everywhere he went, so 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:02.840 he did here. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.240 So I guess the bigger the bigger question for Brandon 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.400 Cooks then, coming off of what you just talked about 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.080 him having that production, is why wasn't he able to 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.559 have be effective here? He only had one one hundred 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.080 yard season, one hundred yard game last season, and its 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.280 Week nine where he had against the Giants, he went 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.640 for a buck seventy hadn't seen it at all this season, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.360 and initially speaking this Danny mccraig terms, he was the 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:31.760 guy that's gonna take the top off him. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.760 He's going to be the speedster. He We didn't get 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.080 any of that from him. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.280 He and then he started to look more like a 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.120 gadget player as the season started to go along, and 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.360 you were thinking to yourself, with all of the success 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.160 that seed he was having and teams finally starting to 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.280 double team him, that at least there would be somebody 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.800 else that would be wide open to have some production. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:55.280 It just wasn't there. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:15:01.080 And that's why I say mismanagement. That's I'm with you 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.280 one hundred percent on that. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.360 But let's there's one thing that's undefeated in this world. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.640 Father time. Let's let's be realistic. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.760 And when you sign a certain player, and I'm saying 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.480 this is knock. We have seen some guys that have 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.040 revived their career and keep that constant production. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.520 But unless you're a kicker or a quarterback. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.120 It's really hard to say that you're gonna be mister 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.440 thou wow coming in here like that. And when you 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.080 signed him. It's like, don't get me wrong, injuries have happened. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.320 He has made his splash plays here and there, and 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.520 when you needed a play every now and again for 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.880 a bright spot, he was that bright spot. He wasn't 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.280 as consistent, he wasn't the number two, but I think 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.040 he could have been a number three, number four if 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.760 everybody didn't have the high expectation as Cowboy fans that 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.040 you always do as soon as you sign somebody, Oh, 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.240 super Bowl, Oh it's this guy, like we think of 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.480 guys in their peak and saying, hey, let's really be realistic. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.520 Let's look at this guy. He's been a gadget player 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.960 wherever else he's been at. But with him being that 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.760 gadget player, he had other weapons around him. He had 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.920 start people that was pulling up, he had assistant quarterback 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.080 that you didn't have to deal with all these injuries. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.320 And then on top of that, let's not be let's 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.280 the last few times wherever he's been at, he's had 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.240 those injuries that have put him out at the end 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:10.800 of the season. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.640 Are in the big game, and we just seen it 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:13.520 early in his career. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.280 So Houston, Houston, they went through who bunch of quarterbacks. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:17.200 He still got his numbers. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:22.560 That was a young him though, no two years in 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:23.240 football years. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:24.000 It's like doggars. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.600 You know, a lot happened. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.720 We talked about these players in the wide receiver room, 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.960 right and everybody, what are. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.440 We gonna give a little little heat to the to 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:33.600 the coach, not the hick. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.680 I'm talking about the position coach, because we were looking 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:42.080 at outside of CD, who's really developed here at that 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:48.240 receiver position and kind of took off. Hm Like outside 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.880 of CD, I mean you had a Cooks you had 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.880 told boy, Michael Gallup kind of went down here, he 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.920 had some injuries, but we went downhill. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.040 Robert Ford, Robert Ford up there, Jeff Blastko running back coach. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.760 I mean, it's just like I'm okay with it. I'm like, man, 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.560 because there's not a lot of develops. Because when we 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.960 look at the whole life, we've seen it development happen 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.720 from drafting guys into becoming Hall of famers, first team 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.879 All pros. Look at Tyler Smith, he's going doing, BB doing. Okay, 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.560 he's doing. But when you look at these wide receivers, 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.040 it's like. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.240 You think, there's where is the development movement? Where is 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:22.720 that so what's going on? 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.080 So who's the last wide receiver that you can say 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:30.320 the Cowboys have truly developed CD CD? Well, okay, excluding CD, 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.040 I mean we'll go that's first round PICKD talent. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.120 Let's go after that. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:41.280 Michael Gallup, Michael, That's what I'm saying. Coch you you 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.399 gotta go and and look how far back you have 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.520 to go? Like no, I shout out to my. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.439 Boys, Kobe Beasley and you got Cole Beasley, Terrence Williams, 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.800 Loky Whitehead, those guys that were later. 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:52.600 Picked that developed. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.280 But it has been a it's been it's been a while. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.080 Like you said, what's that a decade that you have 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.919 to who was doing it in TC? 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.080 Exactly? How was he not at least. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.200 A part of his rotation getting It's just wild. 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.240 I say that say that I'm on your side when 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.800 it comes to why can't you have the success because, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.800 like you said, when it comes to the offensive alignment 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.720 cashing in every time, like you, it's like the first 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.520 of the month when that E B T car like 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:20.560 you can count. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.480 You don't know nothing about no E B T. Cary. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.800 I'm talking about when you have food staff before the list. 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.840 But anyways, you can guarantee you can always count on 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.159 that with your offensivelignment. So you do wonder what is 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.680 it with these skill positions, like why can't you go 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:44.440 get these guys now? Then I think the biggest thing 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.520 is is when I look at a guy like Jaalen 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.240 Tobert floor now and then and. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:50.680 Put him in there too. 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:59.520 Come on, guys, stop, I gotta I gotta put him in. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.439 These are guys. 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.639 These are guys that I think came into the league 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.800 with the project stamp on them. And this is the project. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.479 This is a guy that you're going to have to develop. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.840 And you haven't seen it. You know, you hadn't seen it. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.359 We hadn't seen it from from tober Let's be honest. 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.080 And they've given him rep after rep. And how do 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.040 you develop? You get the opportunity to be You can't 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:20.040 say that hadn't happened. 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:21.320 He's got, he's got. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.560 I mean it's been in preseason, it's been in practice. 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.840 I mean there are guys that we bought that we've 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.320 let go of to keep him on the roster and 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.480 we still haven't seen him take that jump. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.720 And that's all I'm saying. When you t Higgins, get 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:41.879 you some competition T Higgins. T Higgins is the Robin. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.520 We know who Batman is, but his role with Cincinnati 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:48.200 is a guy that when you needed to be done 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.520 on matter how where it comes from, T Higgins can 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.800 get that done for you. We don't have one guy 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.359 outside of CD Lamb that is that dependable. When I 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.360 look around the league and there other name the pool, 0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:59.400 whoever else you want to pull out of the bag 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.280
