0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 8>Welcome to the show. Glad to have everybody here. Got

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 8>a lot we're going to talk about today. We're going

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 8>to start a little position series today and talk about

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 8>each position from the standpoint of now seeing what the

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 8>Cowboys have done through most of free agency. As we know,

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 8>free agency continues really all the way through training camp

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 8>and beyond. But what they've done so far through in

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 8>free agency, where they stand the players they've lost and gained.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 8>We'll talk about each position from the standpoint of where

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 8>they are and what they still need to do with

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 8>the draft, what they still may even need to do

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 8>in free agency to get themselves ready to be able

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 8>to play at their best level coming into the season. Today,

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 8>we're going to focus on two positions, quarterback and safety.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 8>Before we do that, though, I wanted to start first

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 8>by just getting an overall view from each of you

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 8>on what you think of the Cowboys. If you had

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 8>to grade what they've done so far in free agency,

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 8>how would you grade their overall performance in free agency

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 8>as far as getting themselves ready to be able to

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 8>do the things they need to do in the draft

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 8>to be ready for the season.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 9>I'll start with you, Nick, I'd give it.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 10>I'd give it a soft bee if I could soft

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 10>soft beat.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 9>Not a strong beat. Not I've never heard of soft

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 9>beat strong bee.

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you would that be a B minus? Is that

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>what you're saying?

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 10>See, but it's not B minus and it's just a bee.

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 10>I'm going like, like if you were degraded on the scale,

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 10>like an eighty three, you know, like it's not a

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 10>B minus.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>But a.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 9>Soft beat, a soft beast to it.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 10>But uh yeah, I would say in that sense just

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 10>because they added depth, and we certainly saw last season

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 10>that they needed depth that a lot of positions whenever

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 10>injuries came about. Now you hope that injuries don't hit

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.399
<v Speaker 10>that hard again in twenty twenty five, but you hope

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 10>to be a little bit more.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 9>Prepared if they do.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 10>And they did add an impact pass rusher and Dante Fowler.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 10>He's a guy who has the upside to be a

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 10>starter for you next season and be a double digitsat guy.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 9>At the very least.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 10>He's a violent, rotational rusher that can bring you some

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 10>presents in the past rush game. So I liked the

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 10>addition of Joante Williams. I think he'd be a perfect

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 10>complementary back. If they do add they still need to

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 10>add a strong early down back, and if they're able

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 10>to pair one with Williams, then that's gonna look like

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 10>a pretty solid addition. But you look at guys like

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 10>Solomon Thomas, even Robert Jones, Jack Sanborn, Kenneth Murray. This

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 10>is all a reliable, experienced depth that this that this

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 10>team needs moving forward. That's why I'd give it a

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 10>soft B if the reason I don't give it an a.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 10>There wasn't a strong splash, right, There wasn't a huge

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 10>impact player at receiver. I still believe that they have

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 10>a big problem at corner. Even adding Kyer Elam, I

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 10>think there's still a big problem there. You're you're gonna

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 10>have to do some things to figure that out. But

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 10>it's it's definitely been worse than years past.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 11>I'll tell you this. This is I'm gonna go in

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 11>a couple of different ways, sir. I'm gonna give an

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 11>a for this reason. On the going out and using

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 11>trades and free agency together.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>You know this is something.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 11>And now the draft will be the third third item

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 11>that will come into play here. There was a time

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 11>where this team was only draft depended and they went

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 11>out and maybe by design that they knew that they

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 11>couldn't replace all the debt. But the fact that they

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 11>went out and used the player personnel they talk about

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 11>twenty four to seven all the time around here. They traded,

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 11>they signed, and now they're about to draft. So I'm

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 11>going to give them an A for doing what they're

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 11>supposed to do. That way, I'm going to give them

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 11>a C for the players that they've got, and I

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 11>think there's some players that I think they've got some

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 11>players that are better than hole fillers. I think where

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 11>they're at at running back, and I like what Nick

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 11>saying about Williams at the running back situation. But I

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 11>think they've addressed the running back room and that area

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 11>by the coaches they've hired. I don't think they've helped themselves,

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 11>particularly with the players. Let's see if the third phase

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 11>of what I'm giving them an A four of that

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 11>draft brings them that running back. I like the coaches

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 11>and what they've done in the offseason as far as

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 11>getting those guys, but I feel like they really didn't

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 11>address that very well with the two players that they

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 11>brought in. We'll see if that's the case. I'd also

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 11>like to see him maybe have looked at a veteran receiver,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 11>and I'm not just talking about Paris Campbell. I'm talking

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 11>about maybe if they had gone out got so maybe

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 11>the market didn't allow that a for execution and plan.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 11>See right now for the players they've attained, so average

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 11>about it be softie.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna be the title of the show.

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 12>Amber Money is just to be playing bee with no

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 12>soft or hardness to it just to be okay, no.

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 12>But I think when you to me this season, and

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 12>I've said it before, it's it feels completely different than

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 12>years past as far as what they've used to do,

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 12>what they're used to doing this year. I mean previous years,

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 12>I feel like we would be sitting first week chilling

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 12>and we as in we in the media, like waiting

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 12>for news to come and signings to happen, and nothing

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 12>would happen. We would wait until that second wave, and

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 12>then that's when they would tend to start signing guys.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 12>I think this year they started being a lot more

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 12>proactive and making moves. Now, when you start looking at

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 12>those moves and those plays, just like Brian said to me,

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 12>you start pulling some of it, and some of those names.

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 12>They they're a pretty solid guy with veteran experience that

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 12>you feel like, yes, they're gonna come in here and

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 12>bring some impact in one way or another. But some

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 12>of those other guys, you start looking at them and

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 12>taking a deeper dive into their history and recent history and.

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 5>Statistics, statistics, statistics, statistics, statistics. Yes, but you start looking

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 5>at that and you're like, okay, well, this is this

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 5>doesn't look very very impressive. But again, it's hard to

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 5>tell right now, Derek, because you still don't know what

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 5>this coaching staff is actually gonna do. You hope that

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 5>they have a different vision and something that's gonna be

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 5>a lot more effective this year. So I'm just giving

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 5>them the benefit of the doubt.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 9>At least they made moves.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 12>External moves, and it wasn't just signing their own. It

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 12>was going out and making those bringing you guys in.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 12>With that come the different background and with those signings

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 12>with internal signings, I think they did as best as

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 12>they could. One of the guys that I hate that

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 12>we lost was Jordan Lewis. But other than that, I

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 12>think they highly focused on the key players that I

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 12>think add the continuity to the team and also the

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 12>there guys that are going to continue to contribute and

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 12>also fight for a spot here. But overall, I think

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 12>they did a pretty solid job last year. I would

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 12>have given them a seat. This year, I think they've

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 12>moved up to a B.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 8>For me, I look at it and I think this

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 8>is a two year thing. What I mean by that

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 8>is I think last year they lost a lot of players.

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 8>They hemorrhaged players, but they didn't really replace a lot

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 8>of that, and I think this year, what what we're

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 8>seeing is they lost a few more this year, but

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 8>they just they really went out to get a solid

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 8>base of guys. These are not going to be your

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 8>guys who you're gonna next next year, we're going to

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 8>be on Sundays like, oh my god, this guy made

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 8>the great play. I don't think that's what these guys

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 8>necessarily are, other than maybe a Dante Fowler.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I think more of what we will see is these

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>will be.

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 8>The guys that will be your mainstay, solid guys, some

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 8>of them in backup roles. Some of them may have

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 8>opportunities where they start due to injury, some may start

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 8>the beginning of the season. I think they will be

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 8>guys that will be good and they'll be solid, and

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 8>that's what they needed to replenish on this team because

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 8>they do have some stars on this team. Last year,

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 8>what we found is they just didn't have the depth

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 8>because they lost all of it. This offseason to me

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 8>is about re establishing that depth, getting those solid guys

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 8>that can just fill the holes and now the hope,

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 8>at least, I would guess, and I would think their

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 8>plan is that they will get some of those splash

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 8>guys in the draft. Whoever they select in round one,

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 8>in round two, maybe in round three, maybe you can

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 8>get guys that can come in and immediately make an

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 8>impact on your team and provide some of those splash

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 8>type moments that you're really gonna need in addition to

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 8>the players you already have. Who are those splash type

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 8>players or Cedde Lambs or Michael Parsons. I think that's

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.479
<v Speaker 8>the way I look at this, and from that standpoint,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 8>I would give them a B. I don't know about

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 8>a softbe, but I give them okay.

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 11>I think this thing is going to come down to

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 11>how well these linebackers play. If you look at with

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 11>Samborn and then and then you also look with Murray,

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 11>you know that's gonna be really can you get the

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 11>same play or maybe even a little bit better play

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 11>than what you got from Eric Kendricks. There's so many

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 11>questions right now at linebacker with overshown. Leo Foul seems

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 11>to be if you ask anybody in the you know, hey,

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 11>give me your breakout player for twenty twenty five, everybody's

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 11>gonna mention Leo Foul.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what they're gonna do.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 11>And I think that you know, if you saw some

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 11>flashes in last year, but he's he can't shoulder this

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 11>thing by himself. This this this free agency period though

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 11>that they went through. If if Samborne and Murray show

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 11>up and play well this this thing, they they did

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 11>a really, really nice job in that area.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 12>Well, I was just going to ask you, guys, what

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.239
<v Speaker 12>do you think happened with Kendricks.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 10>I think it's a situation where Kendricks is just he's

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 10>bathed himself in that Zimmer scheme and they needed somebody

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 10>who could come in and you know, be a little

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 10>bit more's what's the word I'm looking for fit for

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 10>the Ibra flu scheme and Kenneth Murray is that Jack

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 10>Sanborn for sure? Is that Sanborn is probably the future

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 10>at that position. If you had had to imagine after

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 10>Kenneth Murray, that's the hope at least, and I certainly

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 10>think he has a talent to do that. I think

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 10>Eric Kendricks will land on his feet somewhere, but I

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 10>think it'll be probably in a scheme that's more fit

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 10>to what he's been used to over the course of

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 10>his career.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know one of things to that point that

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 8>you were making, Brian, I think I look at this

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 8>team and they had a lot of I think they

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 8>have a lot of players who are relatively young who

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 8>are kind of question marks for them, Guys like Sam Williams,

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 8>Guys like Marshawn Kneeland, Leah File, you mentioned Mazzi, Kayln Carson.

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 8>I think what this offseason did is it allowed them

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 8>to be able to continue to develop those guys, but

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 8>not be beholden to them. Right, you don't get into

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 8>a situation where if you want Kaylen Carson to really

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 8>keep developing and you give him that opportunity, if he

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 8>doesn't perform, you're now not stuck. You have an elon

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 8>that you can maybe throw out there and say, he's

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 8>a more of a veteran guy that we can throw

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 8>out there. He has some experience. We can put him

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 8>out there and feel better about what he can do.

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 8>But it doesn't slow the progress of somebody like a

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 8>Kaylin Carson. Same things with Sam Williams, same thing with

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 8>Marshawn Nieland you have the question marks, you want to

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 8>give him the opportunity, but if they don't make it,

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 8>if they can't do it. You got a Dante Fowler.

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 8>So I just think that's what I love about this offseason.

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 8>They've given themselves the ability to let those young guys

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 8>continue to develop. If they don't, there are guys that

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 8>are that are steady guys that can put in there

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 8>and they're not losing a ton.

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 11>They might have upgraded at pass rusher with fall Over.

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 11>Maybe he Tank, you know, and we all love Tank

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 11>for what he's done, but let's be honest.

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Though.

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 11>The run play, the instincts, those things were his calling card,

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 11>but at one time he was a double digit sack guy.

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 11>You just signed a double digit sack guy, is what

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 11>you did in free agency. So that should help you

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 11>going forward.

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 10>Did they put maybe a little too much pressure on

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 10>having to hit on the first two days the draft though,

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 10>by by having you think right now, right now, yeah,

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 10>by not getting an impact starter at receiver, by not

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 10>getting a starter at corner, by you know, still leaving

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 10>some holes in depth at defensive tackle. I think you

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 10>can make a case that you could you need another

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 10>guy for depth at offensive tackle. I just wonder if

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.839
<v Speaker 10>there's maybe a little too much pressure on having to

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 10>hit on those guys.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 11>I think that the You know, Nick, that you and

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 11>I have studied this scene pretty extensively. Now we're getting

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 11>down to the home stretch where they have where the

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 11>board looks like to me, it has depth as at

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 11>defensive tackle, and the board looks like it's got some

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 11>depth at wide receiver depending on what kind you want,

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 11>and running back as well, right and running back as well.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 11>But that's that's what I'm saying. I I think that

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 11>they I think the players they grab in those first

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 11>three picks, I think, well, I think they'll all I

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 11>could say this was some certainty.

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I think they're all going to contribute in year one.

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 11>You know, we've seen some in the past where the

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 11>last couple of drafts that necessarily hasn't been the case.

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 11>But I have a feeling with this group that they're

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 11>about to select that those the first three for sure

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 11>give me some hope that, man, hey, if if they

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 11>hit the right guys, uh, that all these guys are

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 11>capable of coming in and being starters for you. And

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 11>that's that's absolutely what they need.

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 9>If it's in those three positions.

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I just wear you head to the fifth round

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 10>and you still need a rotational defensive tackle or you

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 10>still need a running back.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 9>That's that's a that's a possibility.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 8>There's no way they get to the fifth round they

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 8>still haven't gotten a running back, is there?

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 10>I would say, man, looking at look at how how

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 10>the board could fall.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 9>I mean, there's there's there's a possibility of that.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 11>I would take Mullens in from from U Michigan would

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 11>be the guy that I would look at that point

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 11>the starter. Yeah, okay, Well, I mean you've you've you've

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 11>kind of walked me through a plan of Mulling. Okay,

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 11>Mullings and then also though with Williams as a guy,

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 11>so I mean I've got a physical you know. I

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 11>mean Mullins isn't this elusive kind of runner, and but

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 11>he is a physical runner. He protects the football. I

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 11>mean he he is a converted linebacker. I'm telling me,

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 11>if you get down in the fifth round, you know,

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 11>Hunter from Auburn is another one. I mean that might

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 11>be a situation. I mean maybe you have him a

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 11>little higher. But I kind of feel like though that

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 11>I could maybe get a starter.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Is it perfect?

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 11>No, I'd love for them to address that thing in

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 11>the first three rounds for sure, But if I had to,

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 11>I mean, there's some guys on that board. I think

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 11>that might slide through a little bit into the fifth

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 11>that I had fourth round grades on. That might be

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 11>an They give you an opportunity to get a starter

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 11>out of this thing.

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's pick our first break. We'll come back.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 8>We'll jump into our position evaluation. We're going to start

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 8>with the quarterback position. We got lots of questions on

<v Speaker 13>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 13>cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 13>bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.080

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.040

<v Speaker 3>Welcome back.

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 8>Second segment of the Break, live from the SWBC Mortgage

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 8>Studios at the Star. This segment brought to you by

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.679
<v Speaker 8>blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk about quarterbacks. I

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 8>have three statements I'm going to roll out for you guys.

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 8>They are true false statements. I want to hear whether

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 8>you think they are true or false. First, they are

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 8>all regarding Dak Prescott. First, he's still the same quarterback

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 8>he was in twenty twenty three when he was the

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 8>runner up League MVP in voting true or false?

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Uh false false.

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.479
<v Speaker 10>He's coming off a hamstring injury. That's tough, and it's

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 10>going to affect his mobility moving forward. You know, how

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 10>does that mobility manifest in his game. That's going to

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 10>be the question he has to he has to answer

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 10>early on. In my opinion, I think that's what makes

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.640
<v Speaker 10>it differ different from twenty twenty three. They were able

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 10>to maximize his movement in a way where it didn't

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.160
<v Speaker 10>put him at risk, but yet it was still able

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 10>to be an impact and offensively.

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:14.360
<v Speaker 9>For the Cowboys.

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 10>So he's going to have to figure out how to

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 10>you know, manage that now that he's had another leg

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 10>injury quote unquote, So I would say different.

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 9>He's going to have to manage that for sure. That's

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 9>the big thing that pops out.

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 11>To It makes me nervouses. Even when healthy, that wasn't

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 11>a very good offense, you know, early on. I mean,

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 11>and then you know, the defense wasn't great either. As

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 11>a team, they weren't great. They got blown out in

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 11>a lot of games, and you know, you Nick's talking

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 11>about the health of the quarterback. Now we're starting to

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 11>see the age, a little bit of the wear and tear.

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 11>You know, they're going to have to really adjust the offense.

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 11>I think one of the reasons why Brian Schottenheimer got

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 11>this job is because they don't want to run Dak

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.439
<v Speaker 11>Prescott to another different offense. I don't think they want

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 11>to run him to another scheme, and I think Brian

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 11>Schottenheimer probably convinced the front office that I could tailor

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.680
<v Speaker 11>a scheme that could fit his skill set. But he's

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 11>not the same player that he was saved three or

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 11>four years ago.

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 12>During that time, I think the Cowoys were able to

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 12>find a lot of advantage of using his legs and

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 12>mobility and being able to utilize him in the red

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.120
<v Speaker 12>zone and be able to have him escape and get

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 12>in there and help score points for the offense. Now,

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 12>I think that part of the game has been completely

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 12>taken away. You go back to last year, they were

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 12>not doing that with him, and then when it finally happened,

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 12>it just so happened coincidentally that he gets hurt. So

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 12>I think that now that that prompted that injury, even

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 12>though when you listen to what he said during that time,

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 12>he wouldn't blame the injury into the fact that he

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 12>had to run. I think it's gonna it's gonna be

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 12>something that they will try to avoid the most as possible.

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 12>And that's where you now are looking to rely more

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 12>on a running back that is effective and that you

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 12>can bring back that running game, and that way you

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 12>can avoid having to utilize your quarterback as a runner.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 12>So I think that now that that element of his

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 12>game has been taken away. Not that he was a

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.719
<v Speaker 12>quarterback that ran all the time, but in key plays

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 12>and key moments, it was very effective for the for

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 12>the offense. So I think that, no, that's staying in.

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 12>I would say it's.

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 8>False, all right, statement to any decline and Dak's performance

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 8>in twenty twenty three was more related to the offense,

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 8>particularly coaching and the players around him, the offensive line

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 8>and the wide receivers.

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.000
<v Speaker 10>We'll talk about twenty three or twenty four, twenty four, Sorry,

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:32.680
<v Speaker 10>twenty four, I'm sorry.

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 9>Can you run that back on?

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 18>Yes?

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:33.880
<v Speaker 10>Please?

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 8>Any decline and Dak's performance in twenty twenty four was

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 8>more related to the offense and coaching and to the

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 8>players around him, the offensive line and the receivers.

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I think there's a lot of validity in that.

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 9>I'll say true.

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 10>The offensive line was was a lot, especially when he

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 10>was especially when he was starting before the Atlanta game

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 10>when he got hurt. Personnel around him was and we

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 10>talked about it on the show many times. The personnel

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 10>around him did not help him, and the offseason last

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 10>year did not help him to succeed. I mean, losing

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 10>Tyron Smith is a big deal. Throwing a rookie over there,

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 10>and a rookie that was battling injury from the start

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 10>of camp, it's it's it was. It was gonna be

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 10>something that that hurt the offense, and it hurt Dak

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 10>Prescott and eventually physically hurt Dak Prescott.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 9>So I would say, yeah, that's that's true.

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 11>Everybody had a hand in this. One front office had

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.119
<v Speaker 11>a hand in this. Misevaluated the running back situation. They

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 11>also misevaluated the second wide receiver on this football team.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 11>They believed in Jalen Tolbert, and he did not live

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 11>up to what he the expectations that they had.

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 9>Also, Brandon Cook's getting hurt, right, Yeah.

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think so too. I mean, it's just

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>but you know, like I say.

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.639
<v Speaker 11>The offensive line, the right guard wasn't very good, the

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 11>right tackle wasn't very good.

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>You had problems. You know, he had a.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 11>Rookie at left tackle, you had a rookie at center.

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I think the left tackle was more of

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 11>a problem than the center. So yeah, I think everybody,

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 11>the front office, the coaches, the scheme, A lot of

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 11>things did not play out very well, and all those

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 11>things ultimately affected Dak Prescott.

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I would say as well. I think looking at

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 12>Dak's career overall, I would say everything around him had

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.919
<v Speaker 12>to be working for him in order for him to

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 12>be successful. If you look at the beginning of his

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 12>career till twenty twenty three, that was the first year

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 12>I feel like, in my opinion that we were actually

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 12>able to see a Dak Prescott take things on his

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 12>own in certain games where he put the games on

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 12>his back and he was making those plays for the

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 12>offense and saving them in that way. And then all

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 12>of a sudden, twenty twenty four happens, you see the

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 12>struggles that the offense was having. Overall, I would say, yes,

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 12>every coaching I was not a fan of the play

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.679
<v Speaker 12>caller and the way that McCarthy was handling some of

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 12>the situations happening on the field, and then the players.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 12>You look at certain plays where it was not on Dak.

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:49.880
<v Speaker 12>A lot of plays were on Dak, but then there's

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 12>a lot of that were not on him, and it

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 12>was execution for other players, and you talk about the

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 12>protection they're not being there in Dak having to kind

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 12>of continuously having to deal with the pressure. So yeah,

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 12>I think everyone had a hand in that one, all right.

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 8>Third statement, with the changes to coaching, projected changes to

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 8>the offensive scheme, and with new personnel, Dak will be

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.919
<v Speaker 8>closer to the twenty twenty three production and version of

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 8>himself than he was twenty twenty four.

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 10>Are reassuming he's healthy, I assume in the sense, Yeah,

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 10>that's a good point.

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:28.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah's you. I'm going to go false.

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 10>I'm going to go false because the personnel still is

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 10>a question for me. You know, they still need a

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.640
<v Speaker 10>starting running back, they still need reliability at that left tackle.

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 10>I'm not saying that they need to go out and

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 10>get a left tackle, but they need to prove that

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 10>Tyler Geiden is ready to take on that challenge right guard.

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 9>What's going to go on there?

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 10>Brock Kaufman I have confidence in, and I'm going to

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 10>stand on the table for brock Hoffman all the way

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 10>through training camp unless he gives me a reason not to.

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 10>I think he will be the starter at that spot

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 10>and he will be good, but he needs to prove

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 10>it as well, So there's a lot of questions on

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 10>the offensive side of the ball, and Dak needs Dak.

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 9>Needs people around him, that is the fact.

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:04.919
<v Speaker 10>And when he does have people around him, he returns

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 10>to that twenty twenty three production and he is competing

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.479
<v Speaker 10>for an MVP and he does have this team competing

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 10>for a number one seed in the NFC, but without

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 10>people around him.

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 9>You see what happened in the first eight weeks of

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 9>the season last year.

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 11>I'd love to I'm encouraged by the fact that he's

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 11>got a new play caller. I think he's going to

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 11>have a new wide receiver out there with Cede Lamb,

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 11>and I think he saw some things with Turpin, so

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 11>maybe they're eleven personnel. Stuff will be better. I think

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 11>need Jake Ferguson to play a lot better than he

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 11>did last year. I think that would really help Nix

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 11>absolutely right, though they do not have a running back situation.

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 11>I'm with him about liking Williams, but in a certain role.

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 11>You go out and get this guy a wide receiver

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 11>that could play opposite Lamb, that could also play with

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:43.959
<v Speaker 11>Turpin and help with Ferguson, and then you get him

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:47.240
<v Speaker 11>a legitimate running back. I think the offensive line stuff

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 11>will take care of itself. I'm encouraged by the two

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 11>coaches that are here, so I think he can play

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.399
<v Speaker 11>at that level at twenty twenty three. But it's going

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.160
<v Speaker 11>to be a lot of things around him have to improve.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>We said it, the.

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 11>Tackle spot, the guard spot, the receiver spot, the tied

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.399
<v Speaker 11>end spot, and the running spot. Is that too much

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 11>to put on Dak Prescott? You know, he's now the

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 11>guy that you know buy if you look at pay

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 11>if you watch his pockets.

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 2>He is the highest paid guy.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 11>And there's gonna be people to say, well, he needs

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 11>to go out there and play like that. So depending

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 11>on if you're that kind of person not, but he

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 11>is going to need everything that I talked about to

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 11>kind of to show up for him to have the

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 11>season he had in twenty twenty three.

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, right now, I would say false as well, but

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 12>that doesn't mean that he can't be true.

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 9>There's just so much ann well, it's a soft true.

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 2>It's a soft true or false. True or false.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 12>I say, you know, you can't easily change my mind

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 12>if you start showing it to me. But right now

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 12>I believe it until I see it. There's a lot

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.919
<v Speaker 12>false yes right now, false with a sense of hope

0:25:55.240 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 12>for a truth. You know, sports is fluid, Yeah, so

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 12>you know strange lady Brian, you never have But no,

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 12>there's just so much change that you don't really know

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:13.239
<v Speaker 12>what it's actually going to happen. I will say this

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 12>right now, this coaching change feels very different, like the

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:24.479
<v Speaker 12>changing energy. You feel a sense of freshness and newness.

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 12>I don't even know if that's a word, but there

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 12>you go. A shot in Heimer. If you're around him,

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:37.159
<v Speaker 12>you just feel the energy and the desire to be

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 12>here and really put in the work. I think he's

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 12>doing just that, and I think when you do something

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 12>like that, it's very contagious and it carries over to

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 12>the team. So I feel that based on what we've

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 12>heard so far in the off season and the way

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 12>that Dak Prescott has expressed himself in regards to Shotenheimer,

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 12>I think he will put not that he's not ever,

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 12>He's always done that, He's always tried to do his best.

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 12>But I think when you have that kind of relationship,

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 12>you somehow just strive even harder. You're there for each other,

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 12>you work hard, you stay later you put in those

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 12>extra hours to get what you need to do, and

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 12>I think the communication there is going to be a

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 12>lot more effective, and therefore, I would imagine it just

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 12>brings a sense of improvement as far as Dak's game.

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 8>Ye, all right, what should Dallas do to replenish the

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 8>depth on the quarterback position after losing Cooper Rush to

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 8>the Ravens and with Trey Lance still a free agent?

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 3>What does Dallas need to do?

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 10>They're gonna have to go get a guy in the

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 10>draft that they feel confident can be that guy if

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 10>Dad goes down for a couple of games. I mean,

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:40.439
<v Speaker 10>we talked about it a bit on the Draft show yesterday.

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:43.239
<v Speaker 10>Is like, Okay, yeah, you gotta go get starters at

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 10>these positions. He's really important. So that's and Zach Walshik

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 10>made a great point. He did, and he was like,

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:49.879
<v Speaker 10>I need to go get starters at this point. I'm

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 10>not necessarily worried about quarterback, but the sense of it is.

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 10>And the thing I brought up is like, what if

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 10>you start ten to three and Dad goes down and

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 10>you don't have you have a fifth round quarterback that

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 10>you have to rely upon. Granted he would have thirteen

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 10>weeks of season, and you would hope, but you know,

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 10>what does that situation look like? And then do you

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 10>look back on the draft and be like, man, I

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 10>wish I took one earlier. For me, if this team

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 10>acquires another pick on Day two, that pick should be

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:15.160
<v Speaker 10>used to go get a quarterback.

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 11>Nick, tell me the places that Brian Schottenheimer's visiting.

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Tell me the schools he's going to.

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, so he's at Ohio State today.

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's Will Howard's there.

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he'll be at Texas A and M tomorrow. There's

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 9>no quarterback, no quarterback there.

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Friday he'll be at been one there a long time.

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 10>Say it again, Friday, Will He'll be at Ole Miss

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 10>Jackson Dart won't be available.

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Jackson Dart won't be available there.

0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, those would be the see I thought that

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 11>there would be a thing the coaches and stuff that

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 11>have gone to like to Oregon, in places like that.

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 11>I think that Dallas is hunting. The one thing that

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 11>Cowboys have shown me over the years. And even it

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:53.959
<v Speaker 11>goes back when I was in the personnel department here.

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 11>We were always hunting for a quarterback, not always successful,

0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 11>didn't have the right mentality to do this. You know,

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 11>didn't have the right focus to do this, but they do.

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 11>They need to go get a legitimate guy. I think

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 11>Nick's right about taking the extra pick, but you also

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 11>need to to go and look at you know, he's

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 11>gonna have his eyes on Will Howard. Is Will Howard

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 11>a third fourth round guy. You look at him and

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 11>when he was at Kansas State and then you know

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 11>what he's done at Ohio State. Tremendous player there, quinn

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 11>Ewers at Texas. I mean where where do you see

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 11>quinn Ewrs? Dylan Gabriel from Oregon. These are all guys.

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 11>I mean, Dylan Gabriel is a five to eleven guy

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 11>that doesn't really have a lot of power to his game.

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 11>But you know, you're starting to and I and I

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 11>haven't mentioned like guys like Shuck and others that you know,

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 11>there's there's going to be some guys that they need

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 11>to absolutely consider here. I just don't I can say

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 11>that they they gave a fourth round pick for Trey Lance.

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 11>You know, they're always trying to hunt a corp. Back

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 11>go back to to Connor Cook, go back to UH

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 11>to UH to the guy from from Memphis. There that

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 11>that they I'm always forget this kid's name, but uh,

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 11>Peyton anyway, don't worry about it. But you know, but

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 11>Paxton Lynch, sorry, Pax Lynch, I knew I was gonna

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 11>get I was thinking of Peyton something, Paxton Lynch. They're

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 11>always been trying to hunt quarterbacks here, so this to

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 11>me is no different than any of their times. They've

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 11>proven that they want to use resources to try and

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 11>find that guy.

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so I'm gonna get a little crazy here.

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 8>Give me a name of a player at quarterback that

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 8>would drop in the first or the second rounds that

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 8>would make you say I would pull the trigger that

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 8>early on a quarterback for this team.

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 9>If Jackson dar Sarre at forty four.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Huh yeah, sign me up. Let's go.

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.479
<v Speaker 8>Is there anyone that would make you I'm assuming this

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 8>wouldn't happen, but if either one of those quarterbacks dropped

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 8>to you in the first round, would you would you

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 8>pull the trigger in the first round?

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 10>No? I would not, not, not with four years left

0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 10>on Dak Steel, like if his deal was structured in

0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 10>a different way where he maybe had two or three

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 10>years and yeah, but like you would be you would

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.640
<v Speaker 10>be aligning that rookie contract with.

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 11>That's why I think like a Will Howard or something

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 11>like that, even Milrow.

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 3>So really, third fourth is the earliest, you guys.

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, yes, you know, and it's it's it's fascinating to

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 11>look back and you know, I've even done this in

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 11>my head. If Dak had not signed here, what quarterback

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 11>would I want at twelve? That's the game I play

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 11>with myself and when I'm trying to kind of.

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Feel like, who would I really have?

0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 11>Would I rather have Sanders or would I rather have

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 11>Dart Because I don't feel like I'm going to have a.

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Shot at Ward.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and I might not have a shot at Sanders either,

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 11>but I won In my mind, I'm like, Okay, if

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 11>I had the pick at twelve, That's how I'm trying

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 11>to line these guys up, who would I take?

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 10>Since since they took Troy Aikman with the first pick

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 10>in nineteen eighty nine, they have only drafted one quarterback

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:49.720
<v Speaker 10>before the fourth round.

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 9>It is Quincy Carter.

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Quincy Carter.

0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, and so it's uh, and.

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 10>You look at the quarterbacks overall that they have drafted

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 10>since O one, you go, Quincy Carter technically they're a

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 10>counting Isaiah standback here, but he was a receiver. Stephen

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 10>McGee and O nine in the fourth round, Dak in

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 10>the fourth round in twenty sixteen, Mike White in the

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 10>fifth round in twenty eighteen, and then Danucci in the

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 10>seventh round in twenty twenty.

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 9>That's it.

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 10>So you know it's yes, they have devoted resources into finding,

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 10>you know, some of those those backup quarterback type roles,

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 10>but it's not it's not a Green Bay where they

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 10>go and get a quarterback every year, or they tried to.

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 10>I think in this draft you're gonna have some guys

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 10>there on Day three available to you. But I also

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 10>would not necessarily force it. The reason I say that

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 10>is because veterans available. Do any of these names entice you?

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 10>Joe Flacco, Carson Wentz, Teddy Bridgewater, Drew Locke, those would

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 10>probably be the best names I could throw out as

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 10>far as realistic.

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, they like Will Greer, you know, I mean obviously

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Will Greer.

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I that's a good yeah. I didn't even think about

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 3>it me personally.

0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I you know, Will Greer could come in and probably

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 2>be fine.

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 8>I mean they may feel like he is he's Cooper Rush,

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 8>their next Cooper.

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 11>I don't Nick, do you think they got blindsided by

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 11>Cooper Rush signing somewhere else or are they think so?

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Were they okay with that? I don't think. I think

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. I think they're okay. They were like, listen,

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 2>let's just kind of move on from that.

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 10>They had already said that they were devoting resources into

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 10>finding how to get younger at that position behind Dax,

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 10>so I think that they were fully expecting that. And

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 10>you talk about Will Greer, He's gonna be thirty next year,

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 10>so it's it's he's not necessarily the quote unquote younger option.

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 9>Hey watch it, watch it.

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 10>Older for football. But uh yeah, in general, they need

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 10>to go get a the d.

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 9>To go get you know, well, your question was horrible, Derek.

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 12>The question you post with drafting a quarterback in the

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 12>first three rounds terrible question. Why it's nonsense, It's not

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 12>going to happen.

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 3>See what No, here, here's what I here was the

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 3>point of the question.

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 2>The point of the question is it's a good question.

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 8>One of the questions like do you really what what

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 8>would make you?

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Where are you with quarterback? Are you so starved?

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 8>For quarterback to where you're like, hey, if this guy

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 8>gets to me, yeah, I don't care that I can't

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 8>use him this year, maybe even next year, I say,

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 8>pulled the trigger.

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm trying to get to that level. And

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 3>what's that name?

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 12>Looking into their perspective, like, I just feel like that

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:15.440
<v Speaker 12>just would not happen whatsoever, not after the contract you

0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 12>just gave Dash.

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 11>See, you should never you should never go into this

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 11>thinking about building your football team because you gave a.

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Massive contract to somebody.

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 11>Why never do that. It's about building your team. It's

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 11>about it's about having options. You don't know what's going

0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 11>to happen in week five or week seven or week ten.

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't know.

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 11>You've got to find a way to protect yourself. And

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 11>the whole idea is to go out and get the

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 11>most talented players you know, regardless of the position. That's

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 11>what always talk about. One of the things that Dallas

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 11>is really good at is when it's best available player,

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 11>they go out and they get.

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 2>And it seems to work for them.

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 11>So to me, if you're if you're looking at this

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 11>and saying I'm not going to sign a guy to Okay,

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 11>if they go into this draft and thinking that they've

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 11>got they've got their big receiver in Mingo and don't

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 11>take an other receiver early in this thing. Is that

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 11>do we feel good about that? We should feel the

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 11>same way about a quarterback. You should feel the same

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 11>any position, any position on your football team.

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't let don't.

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 11>Let contracts and stuff keep you from getting the best football.

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.959
<v Speaker 12>But that's your scout mind speaking. But when you start

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 12>looking at it, I like all these numbers and contracts

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 12>and like that.

0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't care.

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 11>I lost my quarterback in week what eight? Yeah, and

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 11>my season was done. I mean Cooper Rush came in

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 11>and was serviceable. You know, give me a chance to

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 11>win games, give me a chance to be different. I mean,

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 11>give me a chance to where I don't feel like

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.280
<v Speaker 11>that my team is going to completely fall apart.

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 8>And let's also throw this out there too, every one

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 8>of you guys in that first question that I ask

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.880
<v Speaker 8>about Dak Prescott, true, a false? You all sit false

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:59.760
<v Speaker 8>because of the injury. Yeah, if there are concerns about

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 8>his health, and if there are concerns about what that

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.440
<v Speaker 8>means for this season and going beyond that, then you.

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Better have a backup quarterback.

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.360
<v Speaker 8>And so if the question just becomes how much do

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 8>you want to invest in that backup quarterback? Do you

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 8>want to invest a lot in that backup quarterback knowing

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.399
<v Speaker 8>that at some point he will take over that role

0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 8>and maybe it happens before you get to the end

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 8>of that contract. Or do you want to just say, hey,

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:24.160
<v Speaker 8>give me a Will Greer and I'll be okay. Like

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:25.839
<v Speaker 8>That's what I'm trying to figure out is where that

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 8>level of concern is with regards to the health of

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 8>your starting quarterback, and that will dictate how much you're

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 8>willing to invest right now.

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:34.280
<v Speaker 3>In a quarterback.

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 12>But it's also when you looked at all the other

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 12>needs that you still have in other position.

0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:39.800
<v Speaker 11>You're not all fair. You're not all fair. You're gonna

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:42.280
<v Speaker 11>get you're gonna be able to fill needs. You cannot

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:45.479
<v Speaker 11>fill every need this football team has in the draft.

0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:45.879
<v Speaker 2>You can't.

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you can't.

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 11>Never happen, you absolutely can't. And so the sit there

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.799
<v Speaker 11>and say, oh, well, we're using a premium pick. You're

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 11>not gonna we have twenty holes. Yeah, you have holes

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 11>because you're you weren't very good and you lost and

0:36:57.600 --> 0:36:58.400
<v Speaker 11>you did your best.

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:02.760
<v Speaker 2>That's why I gave him a an a on the execution.

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:06.839
<v Speaker 11>Of trying to use drafting or use excuse me, signings

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 11>and trades to their advantage. So that's that's They're doing

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 11>what they need to do, but they're not gonna be

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:14.360
<v Speaker 11>able to fill all the needs that they have in

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 11>this team. And Derek, I think you even said somebody

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.760
<v Speaker 11>said it was a two year thing, two year project.

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 11>You know, it's still they still have a long way

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 11>to go. But I don't think the draft is going

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 11>to completely fill everything that they need.

0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 9>I have a solution, guys.

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.280
<v Speaker 10>It's a guy who I think would work in this scheme.

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 10>He's athletic, he can work out, he's a winner, and

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 10>he's on the open market right now. Sam Ellinger, just

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.480
<v Speaker 10>go get them crickets.

0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I like Sam.

0:37:41.120 --> 0:37:42.879
<v Speaker 18>I like Sam.

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 10>I was just trying to throw it.

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:44.160
<v Speaker 8>But.

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:51.960
<v Speaker 11>No, they get Vince Young. I like, if you're gonna

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.640
<v Speaker 11>play with what are we doing? That would take Vince Young?

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 11>Maybe samok them?

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>But I can I do that?

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Bottle up bringing Colt McCoy back.

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 9>I wish I could bottle up all of y'all's faces.

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:11.239

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:00.480
<v Speaker 11>Why are you losing it over the Brian when you

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.279
<v Speaker 11>had these players right I'm just disappointed right now with you,

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 11>some of these grades you got on these guys.

0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:11.080
<v Speaker 9>We'll see, We'll.

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:16.799
<v Speaker 12>See closer to being more right. Last year we.

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Had we had our missus right.

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.120
<v Speaker 9>I felt pretty good about my board last year. That's

0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 9>all I was say.

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 3>You ran pretty close.

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 9>I ran pretty good. And the old guy I like,

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 9>really missed on his bone X.

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 3>That was And what way you missed?

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 3>I was a lot hotter than you thought.

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he was a lot better than I thought he'd be.

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:35.240
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, but I can't really think of a huge Malachai

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 10>Corley was a miss for me last year.

0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.120
<v Speaker 2>If you do this long enough, you'll have a few

0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:39.400
<v Speaker 2>of them.

0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:43.080
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, but it was beginner's luck last year. I had

0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:44.439
<v Speaker 10>a great I had a great year last year.

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:45.840
<v Speaker 9>But you know, we gotta keep it.

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:46.879
<v Speaker 12>Don't hurt your back.

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:50.640
<v Speaker 9>Yees, sophomore slump, got sophomore slump, softmore slump. It happens, we.

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:53.279
<v Speaker 8>Won't have time to get to safety. We'll do that

0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 8>on our next show. But real quick, I did want

0:41:55.160 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 8>you to talk about one particular safety. Uh Macouba out

0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 8>of Texas, give me a got a report on him.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, so a native of Zimbabwe, he moved to the

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 10>United States when he was nine years old. Got to

0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 10>know this kid pretty well during his recruitment out of

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 10>Austin LBJ High School, a talented young player who chose

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:15.399
<v Speaker 10>Clemson over Texas in the sense that it was around

0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 10>the Tom Harmon era Clemson. He felt better about development

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:19.719
<v Speaker 10>at that time in the Dabo Sweety defense and he

0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 10>certainly got it. Played four years or played three years

0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 10>in that Clemson defense and was a key piece for

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 10>them in that secondary battle injury, I believe in his

0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 10>second season, but made his way back from that and

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 10>was really productive and transferred to Texas and got better.

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 10>And the defensive back development at Texas last.

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:39.240
<v Speaker 9>Year was was awesome.

0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 10>And if you don't believe me, look at where all

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 10>those coaches are getting hired now.

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:44.720
<v Speaker 9>It was really strong.

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:46.799
<v Speaker 10>And you talk about John Ay Barron being in at

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 10>the corner spot. They had a guy Hmed Michael Taff

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:51.440
<v Speaker 10>who I think we're probably gonna talk about next year

0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 10>on Day Elite. Muhammad is another guy that's going to

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.439
<v Speaker 10>get drafted high when his time comes around. Really strong

0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.720
<v Speaker 10>secondary in Macouba kind of was help helping to dictate

0:42:59.760 --> 0:43:02.839
<v Speaker 10>what happened in that secondary and mccooba came in as

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 10>the new guy, but he grew up playing with John A.

0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:05.279
<v Speaker 9>Barron.

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:06.839
<v Speaker 10>He grew up playing with Michael taff I mean, these

0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:08.799
<v Speaker 10>guys have a ton of experience together. You saw that

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:11.480
<v Speaker 10>experience hit the field immediately. Now, what does what does

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 10>mccouba bring to you. He's a guy that has space

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 10>on that back end. He's a guy that is quickly

0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 10>rising in this draft process. I think when and maybe

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:21.800
<v Speaker 10>I do need to do a second evaluation, Brian, in

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 10>the sense that I gave mccouba the evel right after

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.359
<v Speaker 10>the Cotton Bowl. Yeah, and I put a third round

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:28.880
<v Speaker 10>great on him. But it would not surprise me if

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 10>this guy ends up getting taken in the second round.

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:33.440
<v Speaker 10>This surprises me that the Cowboys are taking him in

0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 10>for a thirty visit because they still have Mollie Cooker

0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 10>and Donovan Wilson locked up. They just re signed Janie

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:41.880
<v Speaker 10>Thomas and Marquise Bell to the depth of that position.

0:43:42.640 --> 0:43:45.360
<v Speaker 10>Let's just say theoretically, like, hey, mccooba's available to you

0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:48.319
<v Speaker 10>at you're not taking him at forty four. So if

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 10>he's available to you at seventy six, where does he

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:52.840
<v Speaker 10>fit in that that that?

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I don't think they're married to Hooker

0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and Wilson.

0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I was about to say I don't know. There's nothing

0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:58.280
<v Speaker 3>that tells me there.

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:01.240
<v Speaker 11>Maybe you'll tell me contracts there's something that you can't

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:03.440
<v Speaker 11>get out of and all that. But I'll say this

0:44:03.480 --> 0:44:06.960
<v Speaker 11>about mccuba. I mean, when you watch him play, and

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:09.520
<v Speaker 11>I'll do this quickly, this is one of the best

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:13.279
<v Speaker 11>safeties in the country. When you when when quarterbacks went

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.919
<v Speaker 11>after him. You look at the metrics and stuff about

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.240
<v Speaker 11>this guy. He was the quarterback rating the fourth best

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:21.799
<v Speaker 11>in the country defending these quarterbacks and these receivers and

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 11>stuff as a safety, and like twenty six percent of

0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:26.480
<v Speaker 11>his targets were incompletions.

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying.

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 11>I mean, this kid is got, he's got the way

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 11>he's the way he handles himself and stuff like that.

0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean he.

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 11>Could he could really cover some ground as a safety,

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:40.000
<v Speaker 11>and I think did. If you're the Cowboys, Yeah there's

0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:41.960
<v Speaker 11>a guy. Boy, we got a guy who played with

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 11>some range, guy that could trigger quick, guy that plays

0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 11>on the ball, guy that can cover, guy that can tackle.

0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:51.040
<v Speaker 11>Yeah there's you could. Andrew mccuba is a guy you

0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:52.800
<v Speaker 11>absolutely need to study.

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 10>It's the one concern I did have was tackling. I

0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:57.799
<v Speaker 10>feel like his play strength probably could improve, especially at

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 10>the next level. But you talk about his boss being

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 10>that range everything six in or.

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Siven he is built like a Cornery six foot six.

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 9>Is maybe that the thought process?

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:10.399
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, you know what we saw what that guy Detroit does.

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:13.359
<v Speaker 11>You know, we saw what Brian Branch does. We saw

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 11>the ability to play safety, playing coverage, play down play,

0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 11>you know. I mean, there's there's This is a really

0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 11>twitchy kind of a player. I really like the change,

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 11>the direction, the burst and things like that.

0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 8>This is one of those instances where I think sometimes

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:29.319
<v Speaker 8>you get into the offseason and people start breaking guys

0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:32.000
<v Speaker 8>down and looking at their size and the measurables, and

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.280
<v Speaker 8>I could tell you, say, somebody that watched every single

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 8>game at Texas that this guy played, he is a

0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:40.120
<v Speaker 8>player like he's one of those guys that just was

0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 8>around the ball all the time, always making plays and

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.319
<v Speaker 8>and those kind of guys like it's just that's just something.

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 8>There's something to that in the game of football. Knowing

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 8>where to be, knowing how to get there, knowing how

0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 8>to make the play when you get there. I think

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:55.080
<v Speaker 8>that's one of the things I love about this this guy,

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:57.439
<v Speaker 8>and I think whoever gets him is going to look back,

0:45:57.600 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 8>and it's gonna be a lot of team's gonna be like, dang,

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:00.960
<v Speaker 8>we should have picked him, because I think he's that

0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:01.479
<v Speaker 8>kind of player.

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 11>Nick, I think the media scouts, when part the media

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 11>scouts are behind on this guy.

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I think the media scouts, I think that. I think

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:07.879
<v Speaker 2>the NFL.

0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 11>Teams, No, no, come about, we're all we're media scouts.

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 11>But I'm saying I think a lot of guys and

0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:14.399
<v Speaker 11>gals were behind on this guy.

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:16.560
<v Speaker 2>They're they're all learning he's a really good football.

0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Good player.

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 8>All right, appreciate you guys joining us. We'll be back

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 8>next week. We'll continue our player evaluation. We'll get in safety,

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:23.439
<v Speaker 8>couple other positions. Uh, we'll see how that goes.

0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Then.

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 9>For Nick Harris, we're getting.

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:30.680
<v Speaker 14>Through the whole run training camp, but we're gonna get there.

0:46:31.000 --> 0:46:32.400
<v Speaker 3>And Ambergari and Derek Eavenson.
