20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 8: a lot we're going to talk about today. We're going

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 8: to start a little position series today and talk about

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 8: each position from the standpoint of now seeing what the

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 8: Cowboys have done through most of free agency. As we know,

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 8: free agency continues really all the way through training camp

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 8: and beyond. But what they've done so far through in

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 8: free agency, where they stand the players they've lost and gained.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 8: We'll talk about each position from the standpoint of where

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 8: they are and what they still need to do with

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 8: the draft, what they still may even need to do

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 8: in free agency to get themselves ready to be able

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 8: to play at their best level coming into the season. Today,

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 8: we're going to focus on two positions, quarterback and safety.

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 8: Before we do that, though, I wanted to start first

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 8: by just getting an overall view from each of you

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 8: on what you think of the Cowboys. If you had

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 8: to grade what they've done so far in free agency,

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 8: how would you grade their overall performance in free agency

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 8: as far as getting themselves ready to be able to

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 8: do the things they need to do in the draft

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 8: to be ready for the season.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 9: I'll start with you, Nick, I'd give it.

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 10: I'd give it a soft bee if I could soft

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 10: soft beat.

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 9: Not a strong beat. Not I've never heard of soft

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 9: beat strong bee.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Okay, you would that be a B minus? Is that

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: what you're saying?

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 10: See, but it's not B minus and it's just a bee.

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 10: I'm going like, like if you were degraded on the scale,

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 10: like an eighty three, you know, like it's not a

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 10: B minus.

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: But a.

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 9: Soft beat, a soft beast to it.

54
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 10: But uh yeah, I would say in that sense just

55
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 10: because they added depth, and we certainly saw last season

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 10: that they needed depth that a lot of positions whenever

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 10: injuries came about. Now you hope that injuries don't hit

58
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 10: that hard again in twenty twenty five, but you hope

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 10: to be a little bit more.

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 9: Prepared if they do.

61
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 10: And they did add an impact pass rusher and Dante Fowler.

62
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 10: He's a guy who has the upside to be a

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 10: starter for you next season and be a double digitsat guy.

64
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 9: At the very least.

65
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 10: He's a violent, rotational rusher that can bring you some

66
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 10: presents in the past rush game. So I liked the

67
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 10: addition of Joante Williams. I think he'd be a perfect

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 10: complementary back. If they do add they still need to

69
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 10: add a strong early down back, and if they're able

70
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 10: to pair one with Williams, then that's gonna look like

71
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 10: a pretty solid addition. But you look at guys like

72
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 10: Solomon Thomas, even Robert Jones, Jack Sanborn, Kenneth Murray. This

73
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 10: is all a reliable, experienced depth that this that this

74
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 10: team needs moving forward. That's why I'd give it a

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 10: soft B if the reason I don't give it an a.

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 10: There wasn't a strong splash, right, There wasn't a huge

77
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 10: impact player at receiver. I still believe that they have

78
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 10: a big problem at corner. Even adding Kyer Elam, I

79
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 10: think there's still a big problem there. You're you're gonna

80
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 10: have to do some things to figure that out. But

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 10: it's it's definitely been worse than years past.

82
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 11: I'll tell you this. This is I'm gonna go in

83
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 11: a couple of different ways, sir. I'm gonna give an

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 11: a for this reason. On the going out and using

85
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 11: trades and free agency together.

86
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: You know this is something.

87
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 11: And now the draft will be the third third item

88
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 11: that will come into play here. There was a time

89
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 11: where this team was only draft depended and they went

90
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 11: out and maybe by design that they knew that they

91
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 11: couldn't replace all the debt. But the fact that they

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 11: went out and used the player personnel they talk about

93
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 11: twenty four to seven all the time around here. They traded,

94
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 11: they signed, and now they're about to draft. So I'm

95
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 11: going to give them an A for doing what they're

96
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 11: supposed to do. That way, I'm going to give them

97
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 11: a C for the players that they've got, and I

98
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 11: think there's some players that I think they've got some

99
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 11: players that are better than hole fillers. I think where

100
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 11: they're at at running back, and I like what Nick

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 11: saying about Williams at the running back situation. But I

102
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 11: think they've addressed the running back room and that area

103
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 11: by the coaches they've hired. I don't think they've helped themselves,

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 11: particularly with the players. Let's see if the third phase

105
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 11: of what I'm giving them an A four of that

106
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 11: draft brings them that running back. I like the coaches

107
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 11: and what they've done in the offseason as far as

108
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 11: getting those guys, but I feel like they really didn't

109
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 11: address that very well with the two players that they

110
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 11: brought in. We'll see if that's the case. I'd also

111
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 11: like to see him maybe have looked at a veteran receiver,

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 11: and I'm not just talking about Paris Campbell. I'm talking

113
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 11: about maybe if they had gone out got so maybe

114
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 11: the market didn't allow that a for execution and plan.

115
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 11: See right now for the players they've attained, so average

116
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 11: about it be softie.

117
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: That's gonna be the title of the show.

118
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 12: Amber Money is just to be playing bee with no

119
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 12: soft or hardness to it just to be okay, no.

120
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 12: But I think when you to me this season, and

121
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 12: I've said it before, it's it feels completely different than

122
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 12: years past as far as what they've used to do,

123
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 12: what they're used to doing this year. I mean previous years,

124
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 12: I feel like we would be sitting first week chilling

125
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 12: and we as in we in the media, like waiting

126
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 12: for news to come and signings to happen, and nothing

127
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 12: would happen. We would wait until that second wave, and

128
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 12: then that's when they would tend to start signing guys.

129
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 12: I think this year they started being a lot more

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 12: proactive and making moves. Now, when you start looking at

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 12: those moves and those plays, just like Brian said to me,

132
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 12: you start pulling some of it, and some of those names.

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 12: They they're a pretty solid guy with veteran experience that

134
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 12: you feel like, yes, they're gonna come in here and

135
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 12: bring some impact in one way or another. But some

136
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 12: of those other guys, you start looking at them and

137
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 12: taking a deeper dive into their history and recent history and.

138
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: Statistics, statistics, statistics, statistics, statistics. Yes, but you start looking

139
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: at that and you're like, okay, well, this is this

140
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 5: doesn't look very very impressive. But again, it's hard to

141
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: tell right now, Derek, because you still don't know what

142
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 5: this coaching staff is actually gonna do. You hope that

143
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 5: they have a different vision and something that's gonna be

144
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: a lot more effective this year. So I'm just giving

145
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 5: them the benefit of the doubt.

146
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 9: At least they made moves.

147
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 12: External moves, and it wasn't just signing their own. It

148
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 12: was going out and making those bringing you guys in.

149
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 12: With that come the different background and with those signings

150
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 12: with internal signings, I think they did as best as

151
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 12: they could. One of the guys that I hate that

152
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 12: we lost was Jordan Lewis. But other than that, I

153
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 12: think they highly focused on the key players that I

154
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 12: think add the continuity to the team and also the

155
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 12: there guys that are going to continue to contribute and

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 12: also fight for a spot here. But overall, I think

157
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 12: they did a pretty solid job last year. I would

158
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 12: have given them a seat. This year, I think they've

159
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 12: moved up to a B.

160
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

161
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 8: For me, I look at it and I think this

162
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 8: is a two year thing. What I mean by that

163
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 8: is I think last year they lost a lot of players.

164
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 8: They hemorrhaged players, but they didn't really replace a lot

165
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 8: of that, and I think this year, what what we're

166
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 8: seeing is they lost a few more this year, but

167
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 8: they just they really went out to get a solid

168
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 8: base of guys. These are not going to be your

169
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 8: guys who you're gonna next next year, we're going to

170
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 8: be on Sundays like, oh my god, this guy made

171
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 8: the great play. I don't think that's what these guys

172
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 8: necessarily are, other than maybe a Dante Fowler.

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: I think more of what we will see is these

174
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: will be.

175
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 8: The guys that will be your mainstay, solid guys, some

176
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 8: of them in backup roles. Some of them may have

177
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 8: opportunities where they start due to injury, some may start

178
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 8: the beginning of the season. I think they will be

179
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 8: guys that will be good and they'll be solid, and

180
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 8: that's what they needed to replenish on this team because

181
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 8: they do have some stars on this team. Last year,

182
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 8: what we found is they just didn't have the depth

183
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 8: because they lost all of it. This offseason to me

184
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 8: is about re establishing that depth, getting those solid guys

185
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 8: that can just fill the holes and now the hope,

186
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 8: at least, I would guess, and I would think their

187
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 8: plan is that they will get some of those splash

188
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 8: guys in the draft. Whoever they select in round one,

189
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 8: in round two, maybe in round three, maybe you can

190
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 8: get guys that can come in and immediately make an

191
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 8: impact on your team and provide some of those splash

192
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 8: type moments that you're really gonna need in addition to

193
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 8: the players you already have. Who are those splash type

194
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 8: players or Cedde Lambs or Michael Parsons. I think that's

195
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,479
Speaker 8: the way I look at this, and from that standpoint,

196
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 8: I would give them a B. I don't know about

197
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 8: a softbe, but I give them okay.

198
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 11: I think this thing is going to come down to

199
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 11: how well these linebackers play. If you look at with

200
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 11: Samborn and then and then you also look with Murray,

201
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 11: you know that's gonna be really can you get the

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 11: same play or maybe even a little bit better play

203
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 11: than what you got from Eric Kendricks. There's so many

204
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 11: questions right now at linebacker with overshown. Leo Foul seems

205
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 11: to be if you ask anybody in the you know, hey,

206
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 11: give me your breakout player for twenty twenty five, everybody's

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 11: gonna mention Leo Foul.

208
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna do.

209
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 11: And I think that you know, if you saw some

210
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 11: flashes in last year, but he's he can't shoulder this

211
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 11: thing by himself. This this this free agency period though

212
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 11: that they went through. If if Samborne and Murray show

213
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 11: up and play well this this thing, they they did

214
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 11: a really, really nice job in that area.

215
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 12: Well, I was just going to ask you, guys, what

216
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,239
Speaker 12: do you think happened with Kendricks.

217
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 10: I think it's a situation where Kendricks is just he's

218
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 10: bathed himself in that Zimmer scheme and they needed somebody

219
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 10: who could come in and you know, be a little

220
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 10: bit more's what's the word I'm looking for fit for

221
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 10: the Ibra flu scheme and Kenneth Murray is that Jack

222
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 10: Sanborn for sure? Is that Sanborn is probably the future

223
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 10: at that position. If you had had to imagine after

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 10: Kenneth Murray, that's the hope at least, and I certainly

225
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 10: think he has a talent to do that. I think

226
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 10: Eric Kendricks will land on his feet somewhere, but I

227
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 10: think it'll be probably in a scheme that's more fit

228
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 10: to what he's been used to over the course of

229
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 10: his career.

230
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know one of things to that point that

231
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 8: you were making, Brian, I think I look at this

232
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 8: team and they had a lot of I think they

233
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 8: have a lot of players who are relatively young who

234
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 8: are kind of question marks for them, Guys like Sam Williams,

235
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 8: Guys like Marshawn Kneeland, Leah File, you mentioned Mazzi, Kayln Carson.

236
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 8: I think what this offseason did is it allowed them

237
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 8: to be able to continue to develop those guys, but

238
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 8: not be beholden to them. Right, you don't get into

239
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 8: a situation where if you want Kaylen Carson to really

240
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 8: keep developing and you give him that opportunity, if he

241
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 8: doesn't perform, you're now not stuck. You have an elon

242
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 8: that you can maybe throw out there and say, he's

243
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 8: a more of a veteran guy that we can throw

244
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 8: out there. He has some experience. We can put him

245
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 8: out there and feel better about what he can do.

246
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 8: But it doesn't slow the progress of somebody like a

247
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 8: Kaylin Carson. Same things with Sam Williams, same thing with

248
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 8: Marshawn Nieland you have the question marks, you want to

249
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 8: give him the opportunity, but if they don't make it,

250
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 8: if they can't do it. You got a Dante Fowler.

251
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 8: So I just think that's what I love about this offseason.

252
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 8: They've given themselves the ability to let those young guys

253
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 8: continue to develop. If they don't, there are guys that

254
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 8: are that are steady guys that can put in there

255
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 8: and they're not losing a ton.

256
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 11: They might have upgraded at pass rusher with fall Over.

257
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 11: Maybe he Tank, you know, and we all love Tank

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 11: for what he's done, but let's be honest.

259
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: Though.

260
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 11: The run play, the instincts, those things were his calling card,

261
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 11: but at one time he was a double digit sack guy.

262
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 11: You just signed a double digit sack guy, is what

263
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 11: you did in free agency. So that should help you

264
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 11: going forward.

265
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 10: Did they put maybe a little too much pressure on

266
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 10: having to hit on the first two days the draft though,

267
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 10: by by having you think right now, right now, yeah,

268
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 10: by not getting an impact starter at receiver, by not

269
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 10: getting a starter at corner, by you know, still leaving

270
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 10: some holes in depth at defensive tackle. I think you

271
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 10: can make a case that you could you need another

272
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 10: guy for depth at offensive tackle. I just wonder if

273
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 10: there's maybe a little too much pressure on having to

274
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 10: hit on those guys.

275
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 11: I think that the You know, Nick, that you and

276
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 11: I have studied this scene pretty extensively. Now we're getting

277
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 11: down to the home stretch where they have where the

278
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 11: board looks like to me, it has depth as at

279
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 11: defensive tackle, and the board looks like it's got some

280
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 11: depth at wide receiver depending on what kind you want,

281
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 11: and running back as well, right and running back as well.

282
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 11: But that's that's what I'm saying. I I think that

283
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 11: they I think the players they grab in those first

284
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 11: three picks, I think, well, I think they'll all I

285
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 11: could say this was some certainty.

286
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: I think they're all going to contribute in year one.

287
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 11: You know, we've seen some in the past where the

288
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 11: last couple of drafts that necessarily hasn't been the case.

289
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 11: But I have a feeling with this group that they're

290
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 11: about to select that those the first three for sure

291
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 11: give me some hope that, man, hey, if if they

292
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 11: hit the right guys, uh, that all these guys are

293
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 11: capable of coming in and being starters for you. And

294
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 11: that's that's absolutely what they need.

295
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 9: If it's in those three positions.

296
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I just wear you head to the fifth round

297
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 10: and you still need a rotational defensive tackle or you

298
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 10: still need a running back.

299
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 9: That's that's a that's a possibility.

300
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 8: There's no way they get to the fifth round they

301
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 8: still haven't gotten a running back, is there?

302
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 10: I would say, man, looking at look at how how

303
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 10: the board could fall.

304
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 9: I mean, there's there's there's a possibility of that.

305
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 11: I would take Mullens in from from U Michigan would

306
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 11: be the guy that I would look at that point

307
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 11: the starter. Yeah, okay, Well, I mean you've you've you've

308
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 11: kind of walked me through a plan of Mulling. Okay,

309
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 11: Mullings and then also though with Williams as a guy,

310
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 11: so I mean I've got a physical you know. I

311
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 11: mean Mullins isn't this elusive kind of runner, and but

312
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 11: he is a physical runner. He protects the football. I

313
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 11: mean he he is a converted linebacker. I'm telling me,

314
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 11: if you get down in the fifth round, you know,

315
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 11: Hunter from Auburn is another one. I mean that might

316
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 11: be a situation. I mean maybe you have him a

317
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 11: little higher. But I kind of feel like though that

318
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 11: I could maybe get a starter.

319
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: Is it perfect?

320
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 11: No, I'd love for them to address that thing in

321
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 11: the first three rounds for sure, But if I had to,

322
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 11: I mean, there's some guys on that board. I think

323
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 11: that might slide through a little bit into the fifth

324
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 11: that I had fourth round grades on. That might be

325
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 11: an They give you an opportunity to get a starter

326
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 11: out of this thing.

327
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: All right, let's pick our first break. We'll come back.

328
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 8: We'll jump into our position evaluation. We're going to start

329
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 8: with the quarterback position. We got lots of questions on

330
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott. We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

331
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

332
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 13: cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

333
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 13: bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

334
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 13: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

335
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 13: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT

336
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 13: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

337
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 13: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

338
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 13: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

394
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 8: Second segment of the Break, live from the SWBC Mortgage

395
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 8: Studios at the Star. This segment brought to you by

396
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 8: blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk about quarterbacks. I

397
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 8: have three statements I'm going to roll out for you guys.

398
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 8: They are true false statements. I want to hear whether

399
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 8: you think they are true or false. First, they are

400
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 8: all regarding Dak Prescott. First, he's still the same quarterback

401
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 8: he was in twenty twenty three when he was the

402
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 8: runner up League MVP in voting true or false?

403
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: Uh false false.

404
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 10: He's coming off a hamstring injury. That's tough, and it's

405
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 10: going to affect his mobility moving forward. You know, how

406
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 10: does that mobility manifest in his game. That's going to

407
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 10: be the question he has to he has to answer

408
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 10: early on. In my opinion, I think that's what makes

409
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 10: it differ different from twenty twenty three. They were able

410
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 10: to maximize his movement in a way where it didn't

411
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 10: put him at risk, but yet it was still able

412
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 10: to be an impact and offensively.

413
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 9: For the Cowboys.

414
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 10: So he's going to have to figure out how to

415
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 10: you know, manage that now that he's had another leg

416
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 10: injury quote unquote, So I would say different.

417
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 9: He's going to have to manage that for sure. That's

418
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 9: the big thing that pops out.

419
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 11: To It makes me nervouses. Even when healthy, that wasn't

420
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 11: a very good offense, you know, early on. I mean,

421
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 11: and then you know, the defense wasn't great either. As

422
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 11: a team, they weren't great. They got blown out in

423
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 11: a lot of games, and you know, you Nick's talking

424
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 11: about the health of the quarterback. Now we're starting to

425
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 11: see the age, a little bit of the wear and tear.

426
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 11: You know, they're going to have to really adjust the offense.

427
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 11: I think one of the reasons why Brian Schottenheimer got

428
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 11: this job is because they don't want to run Dak

429
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 11: Prescott to another different offense. I don't think they want

430
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 11: to run him to another scheme, and I think Brian

431
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 11: Schottenheimer probably convinced the front office that I could tailor

432
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 11: a scheme that could fit his skill set. But he's

433
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 11: not the same player that he was saved three or

434
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 11: four years ago.

435
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

436
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 12: During that time, I think the Cowoys were able to

437
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 12: find a lot of advantage of using his legs and

438
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 12: mobility and being able to utilize him in the red

439
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 12: zone and be able to have him escape and get

440
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 12: in there and help score points for the offense. Now,

441
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 12: I think that part of the game has been completely

442
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 12: taken away. You go back to last year, they were

443
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 12: not doing that with him, and then when it finally happened,

444
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 12: it just so happened coincidentally that he gets hurt. So

445
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 12: I think that now that that prompted that injury, even

446
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 12: though when you listen to what he said during that time,

447
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 12: he wouldn't blame the injury into the fact that he

448
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 12: had to run. I think it's gonna it's gonna be

449
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 12: something that they will try to avoid the most as possible.

450
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 12: And that's where you now are looking to rely more

451
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 12: on a running back that is effective and that you

452
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 12: can bring back that running game, and that way you

453
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 12: can avoid having to utilize your quarterback as a runner.

454
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 12: So I think that now that that element of his

455
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 12: game has been taken away. Not that he was a

456
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 12: quarterback that ran all the time, but in key plays

457
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 12: and key moments, it was very effective for the for

458
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 12: the offense. So I think that, no, that's staying in.

459
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 12: I would say it's.

460
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 8: False, all right, statement to any decline and Dak's performance

461
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty three was more related to the offense,

462
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 8: particularly coaching and the players around him, the offensive line

463
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 8: and the wide receivers.

464
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 10: We'll talk about twenty three or twenty four, twenty four, Sorry,

465
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 10: twenty four, I'm sorry.

466
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 9: Can you run that back on?

467
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 18: Yes?

468
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 10: Please?

469
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 8: Any decline and Dak's performance in twenty twenty four was

470
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 8: more related to the offense and coaching and to the

471
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 8: players around him, the offensive line and the receivers.

472
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's a lot of validity in that.

473
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 9: I'll say true.

474
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 10: The offensive line was was a lot, especially when he

475
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 10: was especially when he was starting before the Atlanta game

476
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 10: when he got hurt. Personnel around him was and we

477
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 10: talked about it on the show many times. The personnel

478
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 10: around him did not help him, and the offseason last

479
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 10: year did not help him to succeed. I mean, losing

480
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 10: Tyron Smith is a big deal. Throwing a rookie over there,

481
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 10: and a rookie that was battling injury from the start

482
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 10: of camp, it's it's it was. It was gonna be

483
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 10: something that that hurt the offense, and it hurt Dak

484
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 10: Prescott and eventually physically hurt Dak Prescott.

485
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 9: So I would say, yeah, that's that's true.

486
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 11: Everybody had a hand in this. One front office had

487
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 11: a hand in this. Misevaluated the running back situation. They

488
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 11: also misevaluated the second wide receiver on this football team.

489
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 11: They believed in Jalen Tolbert, and he did not live

490
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 11: up to what he the expectations that they had.

491
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 9: Also, Brandon Cook's getting hurt, right, Yeah.

492
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: You know, I think so too. I mean, it's just

493
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: but you know, like I say.

494
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 11: The offensive line, the right guard wasn't very good, the

495
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 11: right tackle wasn't very good.

496
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: You had problems. You know, he had a.

497
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 11: Rookie at left tackle, you had a rookie at center.

498
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 11: I mean, I think the left tackle was more of

499
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 11: a problem than the center. So yeah, I think everybody,

500
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 11: the front office, the coaches, the scheme, A lot of

501
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 11: things did not play out very well, and all those

502
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 11: things ultimately affected Dak Prescott.

503
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would say as well. I think looking at

504
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 12: Dak's career overall, I would say everything around him had

505
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 12: to be working for him in order for him to

506
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 12: be successful. If you look at the beginning of his

507
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 12: career till twenty twenty three, that was the first year

508
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 12: I feel like, in my opinion that we were actually

509
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 12: able to see a Dak Prescott take things on his

510
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 12: own in certain games where he put the games on

511
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 12: his back and he was making those plays for the

512
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 12: offense and saving them in that way. And then all

513
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 12: of a sudden, twenty twenty four happens, you see the

514
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 12: struggles that the offense was having. Overall, I would say, yes,

515
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 12: every coaching I was not a fan of the play

516
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 12: caller and the way that McCarthy was handling some of

517
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 12: the situations happening on the field, and then the players.

518
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 12: You look at certain plays where it was not on Dak.

519
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 12: A lot of plays were on Dak, but then there's

520
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 12: a lot of that were not on him, and it

521
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 12: was execution for other players, and you talk about the

522
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 12: protection they're not being there in Dak having to kind

523
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 12: of continuously having to deal with the pressure. So yeah,

524
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 12: I think everyone had a hand in that one, all right.

525
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 8: Third statement, with the changes to coaching, projected changes to

526
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 8: the offensive scheme, and with new personnel, Dak will be

527
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 8: closer to the twenty twenty three production and version of

528
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 8: himself than he was twenty twenty four.

529
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 10: Are reassuming he's healthy, I assume in the sense, Yeah,

530
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 10: that's a good point.

531
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 9: Yeah's you. I'm going to go false.

532
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 10: I'm going to go false because the personnel still is

533
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 10: a question for me. You know, they still need a

534
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 10: starting running back, they still need reliability at that left tackle.

535
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 10: I'm not saying that they need to go out and

536
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 10: get a left tackle, but they need to prove that

537
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 10: Tyler Geiden is ready to take on that challenge right guard.

538
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 9: What's going to go on there?

539
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 10: Brock Kaufman I have confidence in, and I'm going to

540
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 10: stand on the table for brock Hoffman all the way

541
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 10: through training camp unless he gives me a reason not to.

542
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 10: I think he will be the starter at that spot

543
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 10: and he will be good, but he needs to prove

544
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 10: it as well, So there's a lot of questions on

545
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 10: the offensive side of the ball, and Dak needs Dak.

546
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 9: Needs people around him, that is the fact.

547
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 10: And when he does have people around him, he returns

548
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 10: to that twenty twenty three production and he is competing

549
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 10: for an MVP and he does have this team competing

550
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 10: for a number one seed in the NFC, but without

551
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 10: people around him.

552
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 9: You see what happened in the first eight weeks of

553
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 9: the season last year.

554
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 11: I'd love to I'm encouraged by the fact that he's

555
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 11: got a new play caller. I think he's going to

556
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 11: have a new wide receiver out there with Cede Lamb,

557
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 11: and I think he saw some things with Turpin, so

558
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 11: maybe they're eleven personnel. Stuff will be better. I think

559
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 11: need Jake Ferguson to play a lot better than he

560
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 11: did last year. I think that would really help Nix

561
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 11: absolutely right, though they do not have a running back situation.

562
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 11: I'm with him about liking Williams, but in a certain role.

563
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 11: You go out and get this guy a wide receiver

564
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 11: that could play opposite Lamb, that could also play with

565
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 11: Turpin and help with Ferguson, and then you get him

566
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 11: a legitimate running back. I think the offensive line stuff

567
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 11: will take care of itself. I'm encouraged by the two

568
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 11: coaches that are here, so I think he can play

569
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 11: at that level at twenty twenty three. But it's going

570
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 11: to be a lot of things around him have to improve.

571
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: We said it, the.

572
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 11: Tackle spot, the guard spot, the receiver spot, the tied

573
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 11: end spot, and the running spot. Is that too much

574
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 11: to put on Dak Prescott? You know, he's now the

575
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 11: guy that you know buy if you look at pay

576
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 11: if you watch his pockets.

577
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: He is the highest paid guy.

578
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 11: And there's gonna be people to say, well, he needs

579
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 11: to go out there and play like that. So depending

580
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 11: on if you're that kind of person not, but he

581
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 11: is going to need everything that I talked about to

582
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 11: kind of to show up for him to have the

583
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 11: season he had in twenty twenty three.

584
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 12: Yeah, right now, I would say false as well, but

585
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 12: that doesn't mean that he can't be true.

586
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 9: There's just so much ann well, it's a soft true.

587
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: It's a soft true or false. True or false.

588
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 12: I say, you know, you can't easily change my mind

589
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 12: if you start showing it to me. But right now

590
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 12: I believe it until I see it. There's a lot

591
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 12: false yes right now, false with a sense of hope

592
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 12: for a truth. You know, sports is fluid, Yeah, so

593
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 12: you know strange lady Brian, you never have But no,

594
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 12: there's just so much change that you don't really know

595
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 12: what it's actually going to happen. I will say this

596
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 12: right now, this coaching change feels very different, like the

597
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 12: changing energy. You feel a sense of freshness and newness.

598
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 12: I don't even know if that's a word, but there

599
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 12: you go. A shot in Heimer. If you're around him,

600
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 12: you just feel the energy and the desire to be

601
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 12: here and really put in the work. I think he's

602
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 12: doing just that, and I think when you do something

603
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 12: like that, it's very contagious and it carries over to

604
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 12: the team. So I feel that based on what we've

605
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 12: heard so far in the off season and the way

606
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 12: that Dak Prescott has expressed himself in regards to Shotenheimer,

607
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 12: I think he will put not that he's not ever,

608
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 12: He's always done that, He's always tried to do his best.

609
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 12: But I think when you have that kind of relationship,

610
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 12: you somehow just strive even harder. You're there for each other,

611
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 12: you work hard, you stay later you put in those

612
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 12: extra hours to get what you need to do, and

613
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 12: I think the communication there is going to be a

614
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 12: lot more effective, and therefore, I would imagine it just

615
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 12: brings a sense of improvement as far as Dak's game.

616
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 8: Ye, all right, what should Dallas do to replenish the

617
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 8: depth on the quarterback position after losing Cooper Rush to

618
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 8: the Ravens and with Trey Lance still a free agent?

619
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: What does Dallas need to do?

620
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 10: They're gonna have to go get a guy in the

621
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 10: draft that they feel confident can be that guy if

622
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 10: Dad goes down for a couple of games. I mean,

623
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 10: we talked about it a bit on the Draft show yesterday.

624
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 10: Is like, Okay, yeah, you gotta go get starters at

625
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 10: these positions. He's really important. So that's and Zach Walshik

626
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 10: made a great point. He did, and he was like,

627
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 10: I need to go get starters at this point. I'm

628
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 10: not necessarily worried about quarterback, but the sense of it is.

629
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 10: And the thing I brought up is like, what if

630
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 10: you start ten to three and Dad goes down and

631
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 10: you don't have you have a fifth round quarterback that

632
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 10: you have to rely upon. Granted he would have thirteen

633
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 10: weeks of season, and you would hope, but you know,

634
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 10: what does that situation look like? And then do you

635
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 10: look back on the draft and be like, man, I

636
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 10: wish I took one earlier. For me, if this team

637
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 10: acquires another pick on Day two, that pick should be

638
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 10: used to go get a quarterback.

639
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 11: Nick, tell me the places that Brian Schottenheimer's visiting.

640
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: Tell me the schools he's going to.

641
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, so he's at Ohio State today.

642
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Will Howard's there.

643
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, he'll be at Texas A and M tomorrow. There's

644
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 9: no quarterback, no quarterback there.

645
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: Friday he'll be at been one there a long time.

646
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 10: Say it again, Friday, Will He'll be at Ole Miss

647
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 10: Jackson Dart won't be available.

648
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart won't be available there.

649
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 11: But yeah, those would be the see I thought that

650
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 11: there would be a thing the coaches and stuff that

651
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 11: have gone to like to Oregon, in places like that.

652
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 11: I think that Dallas is hunting. The one thing that

653
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 11: Cowboys have shown me over the years. And even it

654
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 11: goes back when I was in the personnel department here.

655
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 11: We were always hunting for a quarterback, not always successful,

656
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 11: didn't have the right mentality to do this. You know,

657
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 11: didn't have the right focus to do this, but they do.

658
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 11: They need to go get a legitimate guy. I think

659
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 11: Nick's right about taking the extra pick, but you also

660
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 11: need to to go and look at you know, he's

661
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 11: gonna have his eyes on Will Howard. Is Will Howard

662
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 11: a third fourth round guy. You look at him and

663
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 11: when he was at Kansas State and then you know

664
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 11: what he's done at Ohio State. Tremendous player there, quinn

665
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 11: Ewers at Texas. I mean where where do you see

666
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 11: quinn Ewrs? Dylan Gabriel from Oregon. These are all guys.

667
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 11: I mean, Dylan Gabriel is a five to eleven guy

668
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 11: that doesn't really have a lot of power to his game.

669
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 11: But you know, you're starting to and I and I

670
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 11: haven't mentioned like guys like Shuck and others that you know,

671
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 11: there's there's going to be some guys that they need

672
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 11: to absolutely consider here. I just don't I can say

673
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 11: that they they gave a fourth round pick for Trey Lance.

674
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 11: You know, they're always trying to hunt a corp. Back

675
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 11: go back to to Connor Cook, go back to UH

676
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 11: to UH to the guy from from Memphis. There that

677
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 11: that they I'm always forget this kid's name, but uh,

678
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 11: Peyton anyway, don't worry about it. But you know, but

679
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 11: Paxton Lynch, sorry, Pax Lynch, I knew I was gonna

680
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 11: get I was thinking of Peyton something, Paxton Lynch. They're

681
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 11: always been trying to hunt quarterbacks here, so this to

682
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 11: me is no different than any of their times. They've

683
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 11: proven that they want to use resources to try and

684
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 11: find that guy.

685
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm gonna get a little crazy here.

686
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 8: Give me a name of a player at quarterback that

687
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 8: would drop in the first or the second rounds that

688
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 8: would make you say I would pull the trigger that

689
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 8: early on a quarterback for this team.

690
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 9: If Jackson dar Sarre at forty four.

691
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, sign me up. Let's go.

692
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 8: Is there anyone that would make you I'm assuming this

693
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 8: wouldn't happen, but if either one of those quarterbacks dropped

694
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 8: to you in the first round, would you would you

695
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: pull the trigger in the first round?

696
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 10: No? I would not, not, not with four years left

697
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 10: on Dak Steel, like if his deal was structured in

698
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 10: a different way where he maybe had two or three

699
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 10: years and yeah, but like you would be you would

700
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 10: be aligning that rookie contract with.

701
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 11: That's why I think like a Will Howard or something

702
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 11: like that, even Milrow.

703
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: So really, third fourth is the earliest, you guys.

704
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, yes, you know, and it's it's it's fascinating to

705
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 11: look back and you know, I've even done this in

706
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 11: my head. If Dak had not signed here, what quarterback

707
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 11: would I want at twelve? That's the game I play

708
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 11: with myself and when I'm trying to kind of.

709
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: Feel like, who would I really have?

710
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 11: Would I rather have Sanders or would I rather have

711
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 11: Dart Because I don't feel like I'm going to have a.

712
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: Shot at Ward.

713
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I might not have a shot at Sanders either,

714
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 11: but I won In my mind, I'm like, Okay, if

715
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 11: I had the pick at twelve, That's how I'm trying

716
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 11: to line these guys up, who would I take?

717
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 10: Since since they took Troy Aikman with the first pick

718
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 10: in nineteen eighty nine, they have only drafted one quarterback

719
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 10: before the fourth round.

720
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 9: It is Quincy Carter.

721
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: Quincy Carter.

722
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, and so it's uh, and.

723
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 10: You look at the quarterbacks overall that they have drafted

724
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 10: since O one, you go, Quincy Carter technically they're a

725
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 10: counting Isaiah standback here, but he was a receiver. Stephen

726
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 10: McGee and O nine in the fourth round, Dak in

727
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 10: the fourth round in twenty sixteen, Mike White in the

728
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 10: fifth round in twenty eighteen, and then Danucci in the

729
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 10: seventh round in twenty twenty.

730
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 9: That's it.

731
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

732
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 10: So you know it's yes, they have devoted resources into finding,

733
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 10: you know, some of those those backup quarterback type roles,

734
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 10: but it's not it's not a Green Bay where they

735
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 10: go and get a quarterback every year, or they tried to.

736
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 10: I think in this draft you're gonna have some guys

737
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 10: there on Day three available to you. But I also

738
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 10: would not necessarily force it. The reason I say that

739
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 10: is because veterans available. Do any of these names entice you?

740
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 10: Joe Flacco, Carson Wentz, Teddy Bridgewater, Drew Locke, those would

741
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 10: probably be the best names I could throw out as

742
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 10: far as realistic.

743
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, they like Will Greer, you know, I mean obviously

744
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: Will Greer.

745
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: I that's a good yeah. I didn't even think about

746
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: it me personally.

747
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: I you know, Will Greer could come in and probably

748
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: be fine.

749
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 8: I mean they may feel like he is he's Cooper Rush,

750
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 8: their next Cooper.

751
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 11: I don't Nick, do you think they got blindsided by

752
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 11: Cooper Rush signing somewhere else or are they think so?

753
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: Were they okay with that? I don't think. I think

754
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: the same thing. I think they're okay. They were like, listen,

755
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: let's just kind of move on from that.

756
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 10: They had already said that they were devoting resources into

757
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 10: finding how to get younger at that position behind Dax,

758
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 10: so I think that they were fully expecting that. And

759
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 10: you talk about Will Greer, He's gonna be thirty next year,

760
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 10: so it's it's he's not necessarily the quote unquote younger option.

761
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 9: Hey watch it, watch it.

762
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 10: Older for football. But uh yeah, in general, they need

763
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 10: to go get a the d.

764
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 9: To go get you know, well, your question was horrible, Derek.

765
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 12: The question you post with drafting a quarterback in the

766
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 12: first three rounds terrible question. Why it's nonsense, It's not

767
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 12: going to happen.

768
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: See what No, here, here's what I here was the

769
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: point of the question.

770
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: The point of the question is it's a good question.

771
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 8: One of the questions like do you really what what

772
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 8: would make you?

773
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: Where are you with quarterback? Are you so starved?

774
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 8: For quarterback to where you're like, hey, if this guy

775
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 8: gets to me, yeah, I don't care that I can't

776
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 8: use him this year, maybe even next year, I say,

777
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 8: pulled the trigger.

778
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to get to that level. And

779
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: what's that name?

780
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 12: Looking into their perspective, like, I just feel like that

781
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 12: just would not happen whatsoever, not after the contract you

782
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 12: just gave Dash.

783
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 11: See, you should never you should never go into this

784
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 11: thinking about building your football team because you gave a.

785
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: Massive contract to somebody.

786
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 11: Why never do that. It's about building your team. It's

787
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 11: about it's about having options. You don't know what's going

788
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 11: to happen in week five or week seven or week ten.

789
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: You don't know.

790
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 11: You've got to find a way to protect yourself. And

791
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 11: the whole idea is to go out and get the

792
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 11: most talented players you know, regardless of the position. That's

793
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 11: what always talk about. One of the things that Dallas

794
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 11: is really good at is when it's best available player,

795
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 11: they go out and they get.

796
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: And it seems to work for them.

797
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 11: So to me, if you're if you're looking at this

798
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 11: and saying I'm not going to sign a guy to Okay,

799
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 11: if they go into this draft and thinking that they've

800
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 11: got they've got their big receiver in Mingo and don't

801
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 11: take an other receiver early in this thing. Is that

802
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 11: do we feel good about that? We should feel the

803
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 11: same way about a quarterback. You should feel the same

804
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 11: any position, any position on your football team.

805
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: Don't let don't.

806
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 11: Let contracts and stuff keep you from getting the best football.

807
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 12: But that's your scout mind speaking. But when you start

808
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 12: looking at it, I like all these numbers and contracts

809
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 12: and like that.

810
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't care.

811
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 11: I lost my quarterback in week what eight? Yeah, and

812
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 11: my season was done. I mean Cooper Rush came in

813
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 11: and was serviceable. You know, give me a chance to

814
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 11: win games, give me a chance to be different. I mean,

815
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 11: give me a chance to where I don't feel like

816
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 11: that my team is going to completely fall apart.

817
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 8: And let's also throw this out there too, every one

818
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 8: of you guys in that first question that I ask

819
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 8: about Dak Prescott, true, a false? You all sit false

820
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 8: because of the injury. Yeah, if there are concerns about

821
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 8: his health, and if there are concerns about what that

822
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 8: means for this season and going beyond that, then you.

823
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 3: Better have a backup quarterback.

824
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 8: And so if the question just becomes how much do

825
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 8: you want to invest in that backup quarterback? Do you

826
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 8: want to invest a lot in that backup quarterback knowing

827
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 8: that at some point he will take over that role

828
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 8: and maybe it happens before you get to the end

829
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 8: of that contract. Or do you want to just say, hey,

830
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 8: give me a Will Greer and I'll be okay. Like

831
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 8: That's what I'm trying to figure out is where that

832
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 8: level of concern is with regards to the health of

833
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 8: your starting quarterback, and that will dictate how much you're

834
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 8: willing to invest right now.

835
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 3: In a quarterback.

836
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 12: But it's also when you looked at all the other

837
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 12: needs that you still have in other position.

838
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 11: You're not all fair. You're not all fair. You're gonna

839
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 11: get you're gonna be able to fill needs. You cannot

840
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,479
Speaker 11: fill every need this football team has in the draft.

841
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 2: You can't.

842
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can't.

843
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 11: Never happen, you absolutely can't. And so the sit there

844
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 11: and say, oh, well, we're using a premium pick. You're

845
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 11: not gonna we have twenty holes. Yeah, you have holes

846
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 11: because you're you weren't very good and you lost and

847
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 11: you did your best.

848
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 2: That's why I gave him a an a on the execution.

849
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 11: Of trying to use drafting or use excuse me, signings

850
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 11: and trades to their advantage. So that's that's They're doing

851
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 11: what they need to do, but they're not gonna be

852
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 11: able to fill all the needs that they have in

853
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 11: this team. And Derek, I think you even said somebody

854
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 11: said it was a two year thing, two year project.

855
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 11: You know, it's still they still have a long way

856
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 11: to go. But I don't think the draft is going

857
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 11: to completely fill everything that they need.

858
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 9: I have a solution, guys.

859
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 10: It's a guy who I think would work in this scheme.

860
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 10: He's athletic, he can work out, he's a winner, and

861
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 10: he's on the open market right now. Sam Ellinger, just

862
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 10: go get them crickets.

863
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 3: I like Sam.

864
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 18: I like Sam.

865
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 10: I was just trying to throw it.

866
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 8: But.

867
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 11: No, they get Vince Young. I like, if you're gonna

868
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 11: play with what are we doing? That would take Vince Young?

869
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 11: Maybe samok them?

870
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: But I can I do that?

871
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: Bottle up bringing Colt McCoy back.

872
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 9: I wish I could bottle up all of y'all's faces.

873
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: All right, final break, we'll be back. Well, we'll see

874

Speaker 13: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

928
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 13: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

929
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 13: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

930
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 13: five G. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he

931
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 13: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

932
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 13: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

933
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 13: T five G. Fast, reliable, Secure.

934
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 6: Five G requires compatible plan and device five G may

935
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 6: not be available in your area. See add dot com

936
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 6: slash five G for you for details.

937
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: Back to the.

938
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 12: Break ATNT Connecting changes everything.

939
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

940
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 8: It is the final segment of the Break live from

941
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 8: the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star.

942
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 11: Why are you losing it over the Brian when you

943
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 11: had these players right I'm just disappointed right now with you,

944
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 11: some of these grades you got on these guys.

945
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 9: We'll see, We'll.

946
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 12: See closer to being more right. Last year we.

947
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: Had we had our missus right.

948
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 9: I felt pretty good about my board last year. That's

949
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 9: all I was say.

950
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: You ran pretty close.

951
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 9: I ran pretty good. And the old guy I like,

952
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 9: really missed on his bone X.

953
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: That was And what way you missed?

954
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: Like?

955
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 3: I was a lot hotter than you thought.

956
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was a lot better than I thought he'd be.

957
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I can't really think of a huge Malachai

958
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 10: Corley was a miss for me last year.

959
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: If you do this long enough, you'll have a few

960
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: of them.

961
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, but it was beginner's luck last year. I had

962
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 10: a great I had a great year last year.

963
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 9: But you know, we gotta keep it.

964
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 12: Don't hurt your back.

965
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 9: Yees, sophomore slump, got sophomore slump, softmore slump. It happens, we.

966
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 8: Won't have time to get to safety. We'll do that

967
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 8: on our next show. But real quick, I did want

968
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 8: you to talk about one particular safety. Uh Macouba out

969
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 8: of Texas, give me a got a report on him.

970
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, so a native of Zimbabwe, he moved to the

971
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 10: United States when he was nine years old. Got to

972
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 10: know this kid pretty well during his recruitment out of

973
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 10: Austin LBJ High School, a talented young player who chose

974
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 10: Clemson over Texas in the sense that it was around

975
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 10: the Tom Harmon era Clemson. He felt better about development

976
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 10: at that time in the Dabo Sweety defense and he

977
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 10: certainly got it. Played four years or played three years

978
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 10: in that Clemson defense and was a key piece for

979
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 10: them in that secondary battle injury, I believe in his

980
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 10: second season, but made his way back from that and

981
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 10: was really productive and transferred to Texas and got better.

982
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 10: And the defensive back development at Texas last.

983
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 9: Year was was awesome.

984
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 10: And if you don't believe me, look at where all

985
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 10: those coaches are getting hired now.

986
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 9: It was really strong.

987
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 10: And you talk about John Ay Barron being in at

988
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 10: the corner spot. They had a guy Hmed Michael Taff

989
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 10: who I think we're probably gonna talk about next year

990
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 10: on Day Elite. Muhammad is another guy that's going to

991
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 10: get drafted high when his time comes around. Really strong

992
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 10: secondary in Macouba kind of was help helping to dictate

993
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 10: what happened in that secondary and mccooba came in as

994
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 10: the new guy, but he grew up playing with John A.

995
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 9: Barron.

996
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 10: He grew up playing with Michael taff I mean, these

997
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 10: guys have a ton of experience together. You saw that

998
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 10: experience hit the field immediately. Now, what does what does

999
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 10: mccouba bring to you. He's a guy that has space

1000
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 10: on that back end. He's a guy that is quickly

1001
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 10: rising in this draft process. I think when and maybe

1002
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 10: I do need to do a second evaluation, Brian, in

1003
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 10: the sense that I gave mccouba the evel right after

1004
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 10: the Cotton Bowl. Yeah, and I put a third round

1005
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 10: great on him. But it would not surprise me if

1006
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 10: this guy ends up getting taken in the second round.

1007
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 10: This surprises me that the Cowboys are taking him in

1008
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 10: for a thirty visit because they still have Mollie Cooker

1009
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 10: and Donovan Wilson locked up. They just re signed Janie

1010
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 10: Thomas and Marquise Bell to the depth of that position.

1011
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 10: Let's just say theoretically, like, hey, mccooba's available to you

1012
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 10: at you're not taking him at forty four. So if

1013
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 10: he's available to you at seventy six, where does he

1014
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 10: fit in that that that?

1015
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think they're married to Hooker

1016
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: and Wilson.

1017
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 3: I was about to say I don't know. There's nothing

1018
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 3: that tells me there.

1019
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 11: Maybe you'll tell me contracts there's something that you can't

1020
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 11: get out of and all that. But I'll say this

1021
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 11: about mccuba. I mean, when you watch him play, and

1022
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 11: I'll do this quickly, this is one of the best

1023
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 11: safeties in the country. When you when when quarterbacks went

1024
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 11: after him. You look at the metrics and stuff about

1025
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 11: this guy. He was the quarterback rating the fourth best

1026
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 11: in the country defending these quarterbacks and these receivers and

1027
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 11: stuff as a safety, and like twenty six percent of

1028
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 11: his targets were incompletions.

1029
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

1030
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 11: I mean, this kid is got, he's got the way

1031
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 11: he's the way he handles himself and stuff like that.

1032
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 2: I mean he.

1033
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 11: Could he could really cover some ground as a safety,

1034
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 11: and I think did. If you're the Cowboys, Yeah there's

1035
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 11: a guy. Boy, we got a guy who played with

1036
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 11: some range, guy that could trigger quick, guy that plays

1037
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 11: on the ball, guy that can cover, guy that can tackle.

1038
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 11: Yeah there's you could. Andrew mccuba is a guy you

1039
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 11: absolutely need to study.

1040
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 10: It's the one concern I did have was tackling. I

1041
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 10: feel like his play strength probably could improve, especially at

1042
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 10: the next level. But you talk about his boss being

1043
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 10: that range everything six in or.

1044
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 2: Siven he is built like a Cornery six foot six.

1045
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 9: Is maybe that the thought process?

1046
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know what we saw what that guy Detroit does.

1047
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 11: You know, we saw what Brian Branch does. We saw

1048
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 11: the ability to play safety, playing coverage, play down play,

1049
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 11: you know. I mean, there's there's This is a really

1050
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 11: twitchy kind of a player. I really like the change,

1051
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 11: the direction, the burst and things like that.

1052
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 8: This is one of those instances where I think sometimes

1053
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 8: you get into the offseason and people start breaking guys

1054
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 8: down and looking at their size and the measurables, and

1055
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 8: I could tell you, say, somebody that watched every single

1056
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 8: game at Texas that this guy played, he is a

1057
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 8: player like he's one of those guys that just was

1058
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 8: around the ball all the time, always making plays and

1059
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 8: and those kind of guys like it's just that's just something.

1060
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 8: There's something to that in the game of football. Knowing

1061
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 8: where to be, knowing how to get there, knowing how

1062
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 8: to make the play when you get there. I think

1063
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 8: that's one of the things I love about this this guy,

1064
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 8: and I think whoever gets him is going to look back,

1065
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 8: and it's gonna be a lot of team's gonna be like, dang,

1066
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 8: we should have picked him, because I think he's that

1067
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 8: kind of player.

1068
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 11: Nick, I think the media scouts, when part the media

1069
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 11: scouts are behind on this guy.

1070
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: I think the media scouts, I think that. I think

1071
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 2: the NFL.

1072
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 11: Teams, No, no, come about, we're all we're media scouts.

1073
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 11: But I'm saying I think a lot of guys and

1074
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 11: gals were behind on this guy.

1075
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: They're they're all learning he's a really good football.

1076
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 3: Good player.

1077
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 8: All right, appreciate you guys joining us. We'll be back

1078
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 8: next week. We'll continue our player evaluation. We'll get in safety,

1079
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 8: couple other positions. Uh, we'll see how that goes.

1080
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:23,960
