Internet is undefeated, by the way, so I'm 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.600 looking forward. I was gonna say, let's get him a 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.840 clean shot. Just spelling your camera real quick there Rob 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.800 with Yeah, there he goes. He's like he's taking a down. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.560 He's doing everything you guys, can you finish right here? 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:30.839 A job blue bonnet? Oh nice? That the rails right away? Yeah, 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.880 that was good. Get joke. By the way, I've got 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:38.200 a shout out a friend of the show Jerry Smith 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.040 was out at Kroger last night and I guess I 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.000 shouldn't say that at a grocery store last night, and 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.680 he stopped me and he goes, hey, like, we love 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.160 I love your show. He was a big fan of 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.560 Talking Cowboys. He's been like a day one listener, even 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.240 before we were on the show. When when when it 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.760 was Bill and Mickey and you and everybody involved, and 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.840 he said he loves the show, wanted us to pass 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.160 it along, and real nice guy, glad he took the 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.720 time to say hi. So I thought i'd give him 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.440 a shout. Was that a subtle brack right there? The 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.440 little flex flex? I mean they recognize, they recognize you, right, No, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.840 they actually recognized Lorena, who's by the way, it's her 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.760 twenty eighth birthday to day, Well, happy birthday, all right, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.960 and so he was like, yeah, it's your birthday, and 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.720 so she's the real celebrity. Honestly, I mean, obviously no 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.400 flex on my side, but because your lady now, so 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.840 it was it was subtle, subtle. He's so deflecting right now. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:38.840 Did you see He's like he's definitely playing pongo And 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.600 I got a birthday shout out? In there as well. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.560 I like that Happy birthday. Lorena points. Yeah, so I 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:51.600 had a fun run in with him yesterday right AfterAll Chris. Yeah, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.400 I got turned my hip to give him too, because 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:55.800 that was a double women he wanted to work in 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.839 the show and there there you go. Yeah, very good. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.200 Well that it was her birthday. The birthday song from 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.760 Chris in the background. That's awesome. Is so much trouble 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:13.560 like so glowing back. All right, let's talk Cowboys. Since 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.280 that is the name of the podcast. We will talk 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.719 about the Dallas Cowboys as something we got an hour. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.800 You know, it's two weeks of the draft. We got 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.880 the time to talk. Few weeks till the draft. We're 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.240 gonna talk plenty of draft. We're gonna talk about what 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.400 have the Cowboys done to this point. It's a kind 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.520 of set up their draft strategy. But rob news and notes. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.240 We have a fullback on the roster again, the guy 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.560 give us some news and notes. What happened back? I 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.080 told you they might not be done and I told you, 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.360 I told you. Ryan Nall has joined the Dallas Cowboys 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:50.520 one year contract. Ryan no veteran running back. He was 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.880 listed as a running back with the Bears. The Cowboys 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.000 view him as a fullback and probably most importantly, a 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.760 special teams guy. Joined the ninety man roster and uh, 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.640 you know, and and give bones Fossil a core special 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.839 teams guy to compete for a roster spot. You know, 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.040 they didn't use a lot of fullback. I mean they 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.200 used the macpackage with Connor McGovern a little bit last season. 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.240 But I think by and Lars this was probably a 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.160 special team signing. Yeah, because they lost a special teamer 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.040 in Malik Turner, another news and note boom before Isaiah 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.599 What you got talk about him? Liked him? Yeah? I 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.159 mean I mean, I mean touchdowns? Did he have three? Yeah? Listen, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.839 I mean special teams contributions of course. I mean, but 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.480 he also came in there and he was a valuable 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.760 asset at receiver. Regardless of the garbage time, whatever you 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.600 want to call it, the game, it doesn't matter. He 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.240 still has to go out there, run routes and catch 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.080 balls over professionals. Right, I mean, so, I mean you let, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.240 I don't know how you allow and and I obviously 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.120 stood on the mountain top as soon as they signed him, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.840 I said, that's a heck of a signing, right, they 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.080 snuck him. They snuck him because he's he's he's a 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.800 he's an asset offensively, he as you, gives you some 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.600 depth offensively that you can actually depend on. He's also 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.840 a core special teamer like core, not just uh just 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.320 every so often contributor, Like, no, that's a guy that 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.840 we need him on the field, Like where the heck 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.640 is hey at? You know what impact is he gonna have? 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.880 I don't know how you allow him to freaking walk off? Man. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.320 Now the question is priority. You know, why why didn't 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.280 this guy get prioritized? And I think you know, obviously 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.919 for everyone in Cowboy Nation right now, the bigger question 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.920 is like what do we do it? If they want 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.599 to know? Because when you let Amari Cooper, uh, Cedric 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.760 Wilson and now I'm Alik Turner with and just looking 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.960 at Malik and said, as far as on the special 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.039 team side of it, you come back to the answer 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.560 to that is null. Obviously, there are a lot of 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.400 missing pieces right now, and no one feels comfortable with 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.920 the direction this thing is going. So something major has 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.119 to be getting ready to go down. I mean major, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.440 Like what I don't that have to be to consider 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.800 it on the Richter scale of being made Ricky of 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.480 the Year has to be Ricky of the Year. I 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.120 don't know. Something. Something has to be going down. I 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.720 mean because to your point, you know, you just lost 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.640 two receivers. Both of them are huge contributors on special 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.520 teams and let's not even talk about how they fill 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.320 out your depth on you at the receiver position. And 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.719 you know obviously some of the other things that have 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.880 transpired in this offseason, but you know, those are these 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.280 three receivers gone, three receivers gone, two of them, which 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.720 you're you know, like I said, core special teamers. How 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.320 are you going to feel these voys? I mean, at 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.360 this point, you're rolling the dice and you're hoping right, 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.160 and you're depending on your scout in the department and 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.200 all those guys that get paid to do this watch film. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.000 I get it right, those guys have a job to 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.160 do and they do it well. However, it's still a 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.280 question mark as you're going into the draft and some 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.320 of these guys that we're letting go a you know, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.560 I you know, Malie Turner type of guys like those 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.520 are easier guys to sign and secure, Like you don't 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.440 let those guys go because they're not going to cost 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.200 you a lot of money. You can rely on them. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.880 They're very dependable, right, they're contributors. Why would you let 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.080 those guys go to somebody that you're probably gonna face 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.120 down the road like San Francisco, Like you just don't 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.920 let those guys go. It was a one year deal 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.800 with the forty nine ers. Was there money on that 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.720 at all announced? Yet? I didn't see money on it either. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.240 But I was just looking up his stats, and you know, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.560 we talked a lot about how efficient Cedric Wilson was 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.240 for this team the last few years. Ye. Pretty efficient 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.880 season for Malik Turner when you look at he played 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.080 in fourteen games last year. He played only one hundred 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.120 and twenty six snaps on offense, and he had he 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.240 had twelve catches one hundred forty nine yards, And he 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.080 said three touchdowns plus core special teams guy. So to me, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.720 it's um touchdowns is hurt? Yeah? Pretty good? Pretty good? 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.120 Pretty efficient? Um. You know, they drafted Simi Phohoko, they 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.000 spent a draft pick invested in him, and so your 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.040 hope is that he takes a step forward. And I 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.840 think I keep saying this, I mean I think they're 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.960 pretty confident that they can draft a guy in the 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.880 first whatever rounds, three rounds, four rounds and get a 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.840 guy and develop him, and he can he can be 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.520 an immediate contributor. And I think something that stands out 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.120 a little bit more. Yes, we are going to talk 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.280 Simi Phohoko here in second Isaiah, we may want to 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.200 keep drinking that water bottle. Uh talking about the efficiency 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.120 and touchdowns in the back end of it. I mean, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.000 he was targeted sixteen times, he started sixteen times, and 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.040 eight of those resulted in first downs. So he didn't 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.359 catch four passes, and he's still two thirds of his 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.960 his grabs came for the first down or went to 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.080 at least ten yards. That's something to know. He was 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.200 a reliable guy late in the game or even in 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.920 the middle of the game if he really needed him 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.240 to to throw him the football, and he didn't cost 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.240 a whole lot, and he was what he was your 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:24.160 number six, right, he was your number six receiver. Yeah, 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.000 maybe argue that he was ahead of Noah Brown by 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.000 the end of the year. You could argue that, but 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.720 I agree with you. He's five or six either way, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.600 and he still had some efficiency to his game. Just look, guys, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.480 is the riding on the wall that this is Simi 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.000 phohoko time. Though. Let's let's let's pour out a little 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.320 liquor right now for Malie Turner, play a little taps. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.440 It's all a wit. I mean, we've got to get 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.600 this ship moving and in the way that everybody's ship moving. Okay, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.560 we've got to get it moving. That's a nautical because 0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:00.800 right now it seems like sabotage offseason, you know it 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.480 really does. What are we what are we trying to do? 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.000 Are we building this thing towards the Los Angeles Rams 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.960 way of just come in and sign and do it 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.880 the way you want to spend all the money you want. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.600 That's not what we're doing this offseason. There are guys 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.080 that we didn't prioritize. He was the sixth receiver. You 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.840 drafted semi phoco pretty high last year. You gotta get 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.679 some bang for that. Buck can play that pick. Yeah, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.480 they're gonna give him an opportunity to go earn it. 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.360 It's not guaranteed, just like I don't think James Washington 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.080 spot in the rotation is guaranteed. I think he's gonna 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.600 be honest team. But he's got to go earn it 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.520 because I fully expect they're going to draft a guy 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.040 that's going to compete, and Michael Gallop will be back 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.160 within the first month of the season, let's say regular season. Now, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.760 will he be Michael Gallop right away? That's a question mark, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.160 because I mean that's a serious injury. We're talking about Semifhoco. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.679 How much confidence one through ten to be that third guy, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.880 to be a guy who could come in and give 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.000 you significant snaps late in the game. How much confidence 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.560 do you have in him moving into this season? Kyle, 0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.920 I can tell you I don't have a lot of 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.720 confidence in him. I didn't get an opportunity to see 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.520 a lot of him in game action. Um is he 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.040 What type of receiver is he? Kenny Block? Uh? Is 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.240 he a masterful route runner? You know? What is? What 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.040 is he? What is he like after the catch? All 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.439 we have to go on is what he did at Stanford. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.880 Nothing in his rookie year is telling me that he's 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.840 able to fill those shoes. And that's why I think 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.640 everybody's kind of standing back, like, what the heck is this? Uh? 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.920 But yeah, we know Noah Brown can block. We know 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.800 he could catch. He may not be the your best 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.640 yak receiver that you have, but still he still fits 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.040 the bill. There. You have Dalton Schultz in the mold 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.520 as well Fold as well as somebody you could throw 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.600 the football to a little bit. But nobody wants to 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.640 hear that. They don't want to hear those names. They 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.480 want to hear now when they've had the weaponry that 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.520 they got in the past, and they've been rumored to 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.200 be at least poking around on a couple veterans who 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.600 went to other teams, or Brandon Cook stayed where he's 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.360 at Houston right, yes, and the Monte Parker wind up 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.840 in New England they were rumored to kind of be. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.480 So it's obvious that they're looking. They're looking. They realize 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.840 you don't just trade Amari Cooper and let Cedric Wilson 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.439 go and draft a receiver and signed James Washson and 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.240 say we're good. Especially with Michael Gallup situation. They know 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.559 they've got to get depth there. But the questions are 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.120 well founded, man, because it's that is a lot to 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.280 replace it. Yeah, and my questions they were semi for 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.280 whole Koll obviously, but there was a lot of game 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:28.760 film out there. We saw a lot in the preseason. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.760 I think he suited up for one, maybe two games. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.959 This year, he suited up for five games, most of 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.400 it was on special teams. He didn't register a catch. Okay, 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.000 got you, all right? And which is fine? All right, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.920 Which is fine, And that's all I would really expect 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.680 out of him in this first year. However, what impact 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.000 are you having on special teams? Right? Where are you 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.080 playing on special teams? Are you just out there because 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.679 they're like, man, we spend money on you when we 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.360 got to find somewhere for you to go. Are you 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.720 actually gonna be an impact guy on special teams? Are 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.200 you going to be a cover guy that has actually 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.760 inside and said about outside containment guy? Are you going 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.360 to be on a kick return as an actual returner? Like? 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.120 What is your impact on teams instead of just being 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.560 a guy that's getting thrown in there because we put 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.760 money on you. Also, what impact are you having offensively 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.680 as a rookie drafted in his position? Okay, maybe you're 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.559 not offensive contributor, but you have you damn sure better 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.040 be a special team's contributor and somebody that everybody can 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.160 rely on. And I don't. I didn't see that in camp. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.480 I didn't see that in his snaps during the season, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.240 and that's why my output on him, my outlook on 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.640 him is low. Unless some things change this off season. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.720 There's always a whole off season for things to change, 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.480 for your mentality, for you to watch film, for you 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:30.840 to get coached, all those kind of things. He can 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.040 come back a totally different player, but what I have 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.559 seen of him to date does not give me the 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.360 boat of confidence that he is going to be an 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.160 impact player for this team in any capacity. Especially the 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.720 type of receiver that he is. He doesn't fit this 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.480 scheme how fit. He's big, he's heavy, he doesn't run 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.520 very precise routes. From the things that I've seen, he's 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.200 slow out of his break. He's not a guy. As 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.439 we're going towards Kellen Moore's system where anybody can play anywhere, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.400 that's kind of what we're going to plug and play guys, right, 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.560 Everybody has to be quick, right, no one, No one 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.120 just ginormous receiver route there. Everybody has to be quick. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.839 Everybody's precise route runners, and everybody can catch the dog 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.599 on ball and get vertical, not necessarily looking for a 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.120 bunch of burners. Right, He's a juggernaut type of doo. 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.679 If you let him get off the line of scrimmage, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.360 he's gonna build speed. He can beat you down the 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.560 field that way. That's what he did in Stafford. Yeah, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.040 that's what he did in Stafford. But that's not what 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.680 this offense calls for you, right, This offense calls for 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.480 you better be able to get off the line of scrimmage. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.480 You better run him five to seven yard route, catch 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.120 the ball and then split a defender and try to 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.400 get a first down. Because he has the straight line speed. Mean, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.920 he has the four four three that he ran of 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.840 course for the combine last year, and then he turned 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.800 around then he didn't have the best ten yards split. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.840 He was probably middle of the pack. But he's not 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.560 a good route runner either. So when he has to 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.160 change direction and he has to kind of get going, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.440 he's not there. He's not that instinct. Yeah, offense, And 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.480 that's why I said juggernaut, Right, he's a juggernaut guy. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.920 He has to build momentum. Right, He's a bigger, heavier guy. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.960 He runs heavy. When you watch him, at least for 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.560 this past year, he runs heavy. That's the first thing 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:58.840 that stood out of me. I mean, we were sitting 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.600 out there watching the first OTA I believe it was, 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.720 and I'm like, he's he's he's heavy. You know, he 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.840 just runs heavy. Everything just looks like do do do do? 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.520 And it just didn't get out of his breaks. And 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.440 then when you watch him on special teams back then 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.800 in OTAs in camp, he didn't seem like he wanted 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.400 to have it be an impact guy on those states. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.280 He didn't seem like he was a guy who understood 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.680 what his role was on that team at that particular time, 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.920 who was who was determined and adamant about coming in 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.760 there saying all right, I'm not gonna I'm not touching 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.600 the field on offense, but I'm damn sure gonna make 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.640 an impact. Especially I didn't feel that energy from him, 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.760 and maybe that changes. Yeah, Isaiah just politically correctly buried 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.520 Semi Fihoko. He's done that throughout the last two years. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:44.360 What are you talking about? Because of a juggernaut and 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.320 then he goes through through So you talk about you 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.000 said two things, right, you said he has four he 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.920 has four or four or three straight line speed, right, 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.920 but his ten yard splint wasn't great, right, So what 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.440 does that mean? That means that your first team yards 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.960 is kind of slow takes. If I know that you're 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.600 as a defensive back, if I know that you're a 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.720 heavier guy and that has a good straight line speed, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.800 I am not letting you off the line of scrimmage. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.000 There's no clean release, yea. Yeah. And my whole thing 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.400 is he's not guaranteed anything. I mean, if he can, 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.440 if he can come out and earn a spot, awesome, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.480 maybe he can pick up the nine snaps a game 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.080 that that maligue Turner played, and but you know, maybe 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.000 he's not a If he can't play special teams, that's 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.480 gonna be a hard thing to do because you got 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:23.520 to be able to do that at the back. That's 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.640 how Noel Proud stayed here for like twelve years what 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.320 feels like twelve years, you know. But I think will 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.880 we feel better about this if they draft a receiver 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.800 in the first round, second round, yes, third round, no, No, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.000 because that's not where their draft picks need to go 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.360 in terms of what we say it last week, right, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.400 their draft picks need to go towards off as a line, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.760 because if you can't block the run. If you can't 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.960 block the runnings game and if you can't protect deck, 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.360 then nothing matters anyway. They need both. I think without question, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.600 those are the top most two glaring needs that they 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.920 have going in And that brings me to the question 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.960 that was on the rundown today anyways, was the fact 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.360 that have the Cowboys done enough to allow them to 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.520 take best player available? The last two drafts, they've looked 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.439 at their board the way that it has fallen, and 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.119 they've said, we can take the best player on our board. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.760 Twenty twenty it was Ceedee Lamb. Twenty twenty one it 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.440 was Michael Parsons, which one of those two guys would 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.880 have been taken if they didn't have those needs already 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.840 semi covered on the back end. I don't get that 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.000 feeling this year they don't have the same liberty that 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.440 they've had the last two years because there are so 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.840 many holes. And Rob said it himself a second ago, 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.399 was they have other things that they need. You can't 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.240 have that BPA. It's gonna be a BPA best player 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.399 available in the area of need. And I mean at 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.280 the moment, that's the offensive line, right Yeah, I would 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.080 especially at twenty four I mean, like, like we mentioned 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.920 last week, corner was a position last year they didn't 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.840 really address other than resigning Jordan Lewis, so you kind 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.919 of felt like they needed to go do that early. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.960 There's always a position. I just feel like this year 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.159 and maybe they disagree because they haven't been that active 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.240 other than they have resigned a bunch of their guys. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.080 Ever resigned like a dozen of their own guys, which 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.679 is important, but maybe they feel like they're they're covered 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.080 more than it seems like on the outside, because I 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.680 think you can look at receiver, you can look at obviously, guard, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.280 defensive end, edge, pass rusher, tight end, linebacker. You can 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.640 go a lot of different directions and say, if they 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.240 take a guy in the first few rounds at this position, well, yeah, 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.960 that's a need. You know, that's a need. I mean, 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.919 they don't. They don't seem as covered going in as 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.119 I feel like they have in past years. And the 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.800 weird part about it is when you look at those 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.320 those two drafts that you're talking about, the stars had 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.800 to align for you to get Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons. 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.600 I mean, you take time Machine back last year, this 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.000 time we're not talking about Micah the guy that literally 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.040 failed to you, you trade it out of the spot 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.719 with your with your enemies to then come back and 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.439 get him later and he ends up being Defensive Rookie 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.800 of the Year. So many things like that can happen 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.960 this year as well. And I think that's what Jerry 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.400 was saying. You know, if I have a CD Lamb 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.840 fall to me or Michael Parsons fall to me, well, 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.040 who are those guys in this draft? That's the really 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.800
