Speaker 1: eleven thirty. Where else would you rather be? Where else

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: would you rather be? Let's get to a big dog.

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: All right, man, I've been I've been waiting, chomping at

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: the bit since going to that Prescott press conference which

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: was well over hour at the Star. I'm so glad

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I went because you needed to be there to see

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: the reactions to the questions, just the way things were

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: bouncing and going. So to see Stephen Jones, Jerry Jones,

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott, they're all giving their takes on this deal.

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: So initially I wanted to get your thoughts on the

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: contract and the press conference. Well, originally the contract. I'm

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: here to say I was dead wrong, along with a

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: lot of America out there. I was dead wrong. I thought,

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: for Shirton for certain that he would not get this

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: deal done by by the deadline. I thought he would

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: be franchise tag and I was even going out there

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: saying that he wouldn't get a deal done by July fifteenth.

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys, they were able to work their magic.

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry has always said, and I'll never doubt

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Jerry again when it comes to this, because we heard

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: it for two years. I'd never let anybody out want

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: walk out of me. I'll walk off of this team.

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: I keep who I want. And yeah, we heard the

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: talk and we just all thought it was talk. But

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Jerry got the deal done with Dak. So to me,

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: I gotta give hats off to Jerry and his representatives

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: and Dak and his representatives as well, because even though

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: they got this deal done, I thought for sure, I

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: thought for sure that they would have no cap space

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: and it was going to be Dak versus the world

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: out there seeing how bad this defense was. But hats

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: goes off to Jerry and Todd Franz because they were

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: able to work something out to where Dak was able

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: to get the money he wanted, the guaranteed money, the

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: forty meal per year. He was able to get that.

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: But also Jerry on the other sideay and year one

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: let that that cap friendly, that team deal kind of

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: work its magic. They ended up creating more cap space

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: by paying this man this money. And I thought it

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: was I thought it was blasphemous. I didn't think there's

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: no way that they're going to be able to get

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: this man this money and still have cat space. But

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: they were able to work it around, and I believe

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: they freed up maybe even fifteen to seventeen meal right now.

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: And to me that that's a win win on both cases.

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: You have your franchise quarterback who's going to be there

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. The leader, the unquestioned leader of

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: this team there for the foreseeable future end, and you

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: have enough cap space to address a little bit of

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: the needs on this defense, because we know there's a

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: lot of needs on this defense. So for me, I

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: gotta get my hats off to both sides. They played

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: it remarkably and hopefully you know it pays off for

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys as in Super Bowls or something like that,

70
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: because we need it here in the Metroplex. But hats

71
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: goes off to both sides getting this deal done and

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: creating enough cat space to address that horrendous defense that

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: they had last year. Let's hope it all works out.

74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: So I like when you spoke about just the parameters

75
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: of the deal, and one of the questions, and one

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: of thinks Steve and Jones had brought up was every

77
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: time there was something that Steve was looking for that

78
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: could help the team, he said. Todd France said yes,

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: because I believe I was number seven at the press

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: conference today. They had us all lined up and I

81
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: was number seven to ask the question. So I asked

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: a question that Dak and the second question I asked

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: was about the pie, Like, okay, you guys talked to

84
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: all camp about you. There will be no pie for

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: anybody else here. So is there pie left to fix

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: this bad defense you had? And that's when Steven referenced

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: that Todd France was working with him and they understood

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: the importance that, Okay, yeah, we want our quarterback, we

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: want our guy to get his cash, but there has

90
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: to be something left for some other people. So that

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: was something I thought that was unique there. Jerry said

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: I overpaid. Everybody out there, says Jerry overpaid, because he's

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: now Dak Prescott's the second highest paid quarterback in the game. Okay,

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: second highest paid players Patrick Mahomes, then it is Dak Prescott,

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: followed by Sean Watson. But we all knew how these

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: deals go. The next guy tops the next guy. And

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: when this, you know, when this TV deal is officially done,

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna top Dak Prescott. I mean this is how,

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 1: this is how these things go. Four years, one hundred

100
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: and sixty million dollars, sixty six million dollars up front,

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six million dollars and guarantees overall.

102
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: So this is this is where it's gone. Dak Prescott. Uh,

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: and Todd France. They played this perfectly. They did not

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: sign a deal. As Jerry spoke in the press conference.

105
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I think Jerry let it out a little bit that

106
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: he thought that they could wear Dak out, that the

107
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Dak would just be like, nah, I gotta take this deal,

108
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, after taking so little for so long, that

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: he would jump at the chance. And he didn't do it.

110
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: They didn't do it, didn't which ads goes off the dead. Yeah, yeah,

111
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: they played it right. I mean he stayed still and

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: all of this. And I buddy of mine wrote a

113
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: book called Stillness is the Key Ryan Holiday, and it's

114
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: just that ability that while things around you are a

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: little bit chaotic, how how still and calm can you be,

116
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: which is a great for a quarterback, which is what

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: he did, is while things were going around. But you

118
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: should sign it. You should do that. You're not worth

119
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: thirty million. The guy just stayed where he was, ended

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: up getting hurt and just still stayed still, kept working

121
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: out of the facility, and it worked out well for

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: him that he won the deal. Okay, Jared can talk

123
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: all day long about how this is good, but Dack

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: on this deal he did he wanted by landslide in

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, But it's gotta be a hard and that's

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: why I say it's hats off to that, because it's

127
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: gotta be hard. I mean, you're getting bombarded by the media.

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: You got guys like myself over here talking about, oh,

129
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: he's got if he takes a deal, we're never gonna

130
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: have a defense, and he can't carry this team without

131
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: a defense, So why would we pay him that much?

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: And then you got fans coming from all over the

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Metroplex all he's greedy. Why don't you take that? You know,

134
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: there's guys that are, you know, getting paid way less

135
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: than do more important jobs. So you're getting all this

136
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: barking in your ears from every different direction, guys pulling

137
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: on you. And like you said, man, he remained still.

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: He remained confident in that he was able him in

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: toide of France, We're gonna be able to work out

140
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: a deal in his favor as well as the team.

141
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: And hats goes off because I know myself now, I

142
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: know if people were chirping and pulling at me from

143
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: all I don't know how, I don't know. And then

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: you got thirty five meal dangling in front of your

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: face per year. That's a hard thing to stay still

146
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: on and had those offs of those guys because because

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: they were able to do it and ended up working

148
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: out in the benefit both the Cowboys and Dak Prescott.

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: So that was the question I asked to Dak. That

150
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: was the first when I got because we got two

151
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: questions to ask at the press conference, and that was

152
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: a question I asked Dad. And for two years you

153
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: had to deal with people questioning you about the contract,

154
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: people questioning what you were worth, and people saying what

155
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: you weren't worth, that you weren't worth thirty million dollars.

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: How did you deal with it? The other people around you?

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: And Dak he went back to one of his cliches,

158
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: which is, hey, I just control what I can control.

159
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: But Church, you've been a player and you've been in

160
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: this situation too where your contract was up and people

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: are asking you about your future. Here, I don't care

162
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: how much you want to ignore it. You can't ignore it.

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: This is your life. You can't ignore it at all.

164
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: And he's been in the line last since his rookie year,

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: so he's had people since his rookie year telling them

166
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: how great he is. And then when the time comes

167
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: to get paid what he wants, people turned quick as

168
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: they oh, now you're not worth thirty million, you're gonna

169
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: wreckguard team and rep guard cap and man, he remained

170
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: still and I'm just like that to me, just shows

171
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: just shows that the type of just poise and confidence

172
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: that that man has in himself to where everybody in

173
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: the Metroplex, not even a metro player, I'm talking about

174
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: the whole sports world ESPN. I mean all those talk

175
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: shows in the beginning of the orders, all those talk

176
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: shows in the morning, that's all they do is talk

177
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys football. We know that. And at the head

178
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys football is Dak Prescott. And you got

179
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: na should wide news people coming at you, you got

180
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: local media coming at you, fans coming at you. And man,

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: that boy stood his ground. And it's a tough thing

182
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: to do because as a player, you want to please

183
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: your fans. You don't never want to be the hated

184
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: guy out there. You know, this isn't wrestling where the

185
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: villains are. You know, there's villains and there's heroes. You

186
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: don't want to be hated by by your fan base

187
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: out there. And he was able to, you know, keep

188
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: that fan base happy as well as get his money

189
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: and get the Cowboys organization as one. And you know, hey, now,

190
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: like I said before, hats goes off those remarkable negotiation

191
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: and contract. You are checking out the players, LOUDS, we NRSWBC,

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: mortgage and virtual home studios. I knew, he scrugs. Joined

193
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: by Barry Church Danny mccraie with the Day Off here

194
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: recapping this Dak Prescott historic contract, largest contract in Cowboys history.

195
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: So he gets it done, and here's the aftermath. Thump.

196
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: People starting to say well, and one of those people

197
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: is Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson, who won two

198
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowls as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys

199
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: and left enough talent for a third. And Jimmy told

200
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd the Fox Sports that he does not think

201
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott can carry a football team. I've heard this

202
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: several times from different people. The Dak good quarterback, not

203
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: the guy that can carry a team. Barry, you've played

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: this league. You've seen guys who can carry teams. How

205
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: do you feel about dat? Man? This one's tough, right here,

206
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: This one's tough because, like you said, I've played on

207
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: teams the Jacksonville Jaguars who had Blake boardles and arguably

208
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: he was maybe thirty first out of thirty second quarterbacks

209
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: when we were together there, and we were able to

210
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: get to the AFC Championship despite him, just because we

211
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: had an amazing defense. Now we don't have that type

212
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: of defense here with the Dallas Cowboys. We don't have

213
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: any type of resemblance of that defense. But what we

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: do have is an explosive offense, and we have a

215
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: great I would say we have a good quarterback with

216
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: the possibility of being great as he develops, but we

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: have that on offense. So to me, we now have

218
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the cap space. We have a little bit of room

219
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: to go ahead. And maybe we might not get a

220
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: Mark Key free agent in the defense. The defensive side

221
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: of the ball, we might not get an the Dominican

222
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: suit or Anthony Harris as far as the safeties are concerned,

223
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: because those guys might demand a little bit more coin

224
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: than we're willing to give up. But with the money

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: that we do have in that cap space, I feel

226
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: like we can address this defense. I feel like we

227
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: can put a veteran's free safety back there well maybe

228
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: make you know, three to four million dollars nothing to

229
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: break the bank. But there's a lot of options out

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: there at safety. Veteran safety with a great skill set,

231
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: who can play that middle of the field defender, who

232
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: could be that Earl Thomas type safety for this defense.

233
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's Tayshaw Gibson out there who last year

234
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he played for the Bears for two point

235
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: five or maybe three million. There's Trey Boston out there

236
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: who won't even demand that much in the free agent market.

237
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: So I think there's options out there. And you still

238
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: can address that defensive line. Like I said, you might

239
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: not get in the Dominican suit, but you can get

240
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: that Call Lawson from Cincinnati. You can get some of

241
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: these lower tier defensive tackles that are better than what

242
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: you have right now, and you compare them with Neville

243
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Gallimore out there and see what can happen. But we

244
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: have the cap space to address this defense, something that

245
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: I thought we didn't have, or we wouldn't have once

246
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: we paid Dak and I thought for sure, there's no

247
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: way Dad can carry this team with the defense that's

248
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: constructed right now. But if we can address this defense

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: with that little bit of cap room that we have.

250
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I think he has the capabilities of taking his team

251
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: far and to me that he's a good quarterback, he

252
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: might be great overtime. But if we can't address this

253
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: defense a little bit, I think we have the solution

254
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: to maybe reaching those heights that we want to see.

255
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: All right, Church, So in your opinion, when Jimmy says

256
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: a guy a quarterback who can carry a team, doesn't

257
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: believe Dak, is that guy? Give me three quarterbacks in

258
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: your opinion in the NFL who do carry their teams,

259
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: who do carry their team, I would have to say

260
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Put Patrick Mahomes on there. You know I

261
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: would put I'm hesitant, but I think he can have

262
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the capabilities of carrying the team. And that's Russell Wilson.

263
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: He hasn't done much since the Legion of Boom left,

264
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: but he's kind of always kept that team in playoff contention.

265
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: So I say, if he has a little bit more

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: help here and there, he's one of those guys that

267
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: can carry a team. And he's young right now, so

268
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: I have to put him. I gotta put him in

269
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: there because he's young right now, and he had an

270
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: amazing season last year. Even though they didn't the record

271
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: didn't show, he still played well. And I think if

272
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: you add maybe one or two pieces, he can carry

273
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: a team with a terrible defense. And that's the Shaun Watson.

274
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: Outside of those three quarterbacks, you know, Brady's up there

275
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: in age and what he had around him in Tampa Bay,

276
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks would be able to win with. So I

277
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: can't put Brady in there. Oh there's one more. I

278
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: gotta put Aaron Rodgers in there. I gotta put Rodgers

279
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: in there. His remarkable arm talent. I mean, he eat that,

280
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: He's seen pretty much every defense out there. So I

281
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: gotta put Rodgers in there. But outside of those four quarterbacks,

282
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's anyone left in the NFL I

283
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: can carry a team by themselves. But outside of those

284
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks, and see, to me, I'm gonna stop it

285
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: at just Mahomes, Rogers and Brady. I mean, put those

286
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: three right over here, and I'm looking at these guys.

287
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: These are Super Bowl winners, These are are MVPs. Put

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: them over there and everyone else. I mean, look, I

289
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: love DeShawn Watson. And what are the fun things about

290
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football? And you have a quarterback as you

291
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: follow him every week, you watch all them snaps and

292
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: I had Watson last year. Watson is a fantastic player.

293
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: But even you saw what was their record? Yeah? What hap?

294
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah it was a four to twelve. I think you know,

295
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: he kind of reminds me of the Watson kind of

296
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Russell Westbrook, who you know, he

297
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: could put up all these phenomenal he could average a

298
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: triple double. Oh no, I'm sorry. You guys still got me? Hello? Yeah,

299
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: I got you hello, Okay if I thought I was off.

300
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: But the sign he kind of reminds me of the

301
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook of the NFL, Like he can average a

302
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: triple double, put up all these stats, win MVPs. But

303
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, is he gonna bring

304
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: you that hardware? Is he gonna make this team a

305
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: competitive team in the playoffs? I'm not quite sure. I

306
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: lean to put him in there just because he's still

307
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: so young, but overall, you gotta put a little bit

308
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: of talent around him to see the fruits of his production.

309
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would agree with you on that one.

310
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: And so my thing with with Russell. When you put

311
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: in Russell Wilson that category and Deshaun Watson. And to me,

312
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks are like that. They're they're only about you know,

313
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: the three guys I named who consider up here, put

314
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: a team on their shoulders and go Lamar Jackson's won

315
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: an MVP in this league, and I have a lot

316
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: of respect for his ability. Josh Allen's is shown us

317
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. But they're still needing

318
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: some help here. So we got three guys in this

319
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: league right now that you can say, put that dude

320
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: out there, that guy will go win you the game.

321
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: And to me, everybody else is gonna have some warts

322
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: and some flaws. And that's where Dak Prescott fits in.

323
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: And so when Jimmy talks about, you know, him making

324
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: this kind of money and paying him and he's gonna

325
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: limit your cap every year, we keep seeing that happened.

326
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck got paid and unfortunately injuries hurt him. But

327
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: you know what, even he was not that guy who

328
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, he did well with the Colts, but you know,

329
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: once he needed help. So this is the nature of

330
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: the game. Dad got his money in four years, somebody's

331
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna go go blow past the money. So dat knows

332
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: now that the bull's eyes on him. And I want

333
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: to bring up another point of former Dallas cowboy had

334
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: to say, and that's Darryl moose Johnston. Actually know I'll

335
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: bring up that. I'll bring that up later on, bring

336
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: it up later on. Here. Want to touch in here

337
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: on another DAK reaction, and that's Jerry Jones. Jerry Joe

338
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: said he overpaid and he was glad to Oh, how

339
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: you feel well? Actually, how did you feel? It was okay?

340
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: This is why you had to be there, and being

341
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: there and hearing it are two different things. Because when

342
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: he at first he said anything that I ever bought

343
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: a value I overpaid for. He said I overpaid for

344
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Everybody told me how dumb I was

345
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and it was a bad deal. Even Donald Trump back

346
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: in the nineties said, hey, I could have bought the Cowboys,

347
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: but it was so much money as a bad it

348
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: was a bad investment. And then he said I overpaid

349
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: for DAK. And then so it was a hey, yeah, overpaid,

350
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, you overpaid for good things. And

351
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: if you underpaid for something, what are you gonna get?

352
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna get something that's not that valuable. So he

353
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: put Dak in that category. So when you say, how

354
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: did you feel the way he said it, it made

355
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: Dak feel like, okay, yeah, you know what, you got

356
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the best of me. And he even said, if I

357
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: had to pay a single human being, I don't mind

358
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: paying the guy to my right. So he was very

359
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: complimentary in what he did. But he did over He

360
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: overpaid because you and I know they could have got

361
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: it for thirty two. You know, oh yeah, two years

362
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: ago they probably probably could have got him for thirty right,

363
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: so they messed it up. Yeah, so there's no doubt

364
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: he overpaid because hey, you did it. But this is

365
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: been and we've talked about it right here on the

366
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: players side. So this has been the Jerry Jones m

367
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: He overpaid on Tank. Lawrence could have got Tank at

368
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: a cheaper price. Overpaid on Himari Cooper should have got

369
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: the Cooper deal done when they made the trade for him,

370
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: didn't do it. Overpaid on Ezekiel Elliott made him the

371
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: tops heay running back in the game. He overpaid there.

372
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: This is what he's done consistently, and you knew you

373
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: were gonna have to overpay for the quarterback. But but

374
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: that's a great thing about what you brought up. Was like,

375
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: that's what you took from it when he said he

376
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: was overpaid, But being there and hearing him say and

377
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: how he was trying to convey it, it's like, yeah, man,

378
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: I overpaid, but you know what, everything overpaid for was

379
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: worth it. This guy's worth it. So so I gotta

380
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: ask you this, how was the enter when you were

381
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: in there, Like was it like everybody was kind of

382
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: sitting on pins and needles or was there like a

383
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: lot of tension, Like how was the energy because on

384
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: the TV it seemed like, you know, everybody was just

385
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: like all giddy and just I can't believe this is

386
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: what it is. So I just wanted to like being

387
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: there in person, was there a lot of tension or

388
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: was it just like everybody was just happy that it

389
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: finally got done and we can move forward with this. Yeah.

390
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: So this was the first team press conference the NFL's

391
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: had for a team. The last time the NFL had

392
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: just a press conference all year long with the media

393
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: and the people there the same thing, you know, in

394
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: the same room, that was the Super Bowl. So no

395
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: other NFL team has done what the Cowboys did, and

396
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: bringing out Dak Presscott. Let's do it in person. Everything's

397
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: been virtual since last March. So this was the first

398
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: time Jerry was happy to be into the building seeing people.

399
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: He really loved it. He missed being in the arena

400
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: of dealing with the media in the back and forth.

401
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: It's are is the energy in terms of Dak and

402
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: these people. Of course they're happy. Four years, one hundred

403
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: and sixty million bucks. And Barry, you've been involved in

404
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: contracts and you and you with the Cowboys and then

405
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: being in the locker room with the Jaguars. You know,

406
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: when guys are happy for a certain player because they know, hey, man,

407
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: that guy, that guy deserves his money without doubt. Yeah

408
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: that was without a doubt. You know, go ahead, but

409
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: go ahead. Oh no, I was just gonna say about

410
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: the two locker rooms and being happy because, like you said,

411
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: when you see guys get deals done, like you know,

412
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: when when Tyron Crawford got his deal done, everybody in

413
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: the locker room was happy for him. You know when

414
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: when Brandon Carr came in after getting paid from everybody

415
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: was happy for him. Orlando, same thing. But when I

416
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: went down to Jacksonville and then after we made that

417
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: running the ANC championship, and they turned around and played

418
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: and paid Blake Bortles what they paid them. I mean,

419
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: you could you get cut the tension with a knife

420
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I mean, people, we was sitting

421
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: there just grimacing, like you would think that man, you know,

422
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: ain't quarterback. Got paid. Man, everybody's getting high fives. Man.

423
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: He walked through that locker room and people were just

424
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: giving them like yeah, yeah, it looks like we're here

425
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: for another four years, man. So I'm glad the tension

426
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: wasn't as thick or wasn't as bad when Dak signed

427
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: his deal as it was when Blake Bortles did his

428
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville, because I'll tell you that locker room was

429
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: stone cold silent. And here's once again, here's another difference.

430
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: The respect about a guy in the room and the

431
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: overall premise of you guys were like, dude, you getting

432
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: to check. We should be getting to check because you

433
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: just you got paid off what we did. You know,

434
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: we're not getting any of this. You got it. You

435
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: were basically jock riding off us. Nobody felt that way.

436
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: Nobody felt that way about Dad and those leadership traits,

437
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: those are the things in my mind being a reporter

438
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: that fans and maybe even some people who do this

439
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: for a living in the media don't understand of guys

440
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: in the room know who's the dude. They know who's

441
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: that guy. They know who who a team should be paying.

442
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: That's Dad, And it's not reflective in numbers. It's it's

443
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a leadership thing, and sometimes you

444
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: gotta be there or have been around real leaders to

445
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: understand it. He's that guy and and that's why I

446
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: believe you pay for that. I think that's a quality

447
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: you pay for. You just mentioned Blake Portals. He didn't

448
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: have that. He did not have the Jews, he didn't

449
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: have the leadership ability, and he couldn't lead guys and

450
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: make guys get up say the guy gotta check me, like,

451
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: oh man, how much that should out? Dad gets his

452
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: money and the dudes are like, good for you. And

453
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy because he's been like that since his rookie year.

454
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: I remember him walking in to the training room or

455
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: walking into the to the locker room for we were

456
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: up in Oxnard, California, and it was his first start

457
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason game. Because I believe Tony Romo was

458
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: sitting it out and it was against the Rams twenty sixteen,

459
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: and he went in there and you could just feel it.

460
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't really explain, I can't put

461
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: words to it, but you could just feel it like

462
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: he just he just came out the locker room with

463
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: just as poison just as I don't call it out aura,

464
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: but it kind of was. He just came out on

465
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: the field and you knew the guys around him knew

466
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: that they just already had this belief in him. And

467
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: once we saw him perform like that in that game

468
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: out in California, we were like, we might have something,

469
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: We might have a solid backup. Little did we know,

470
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, Romo was gonna go down and he was

471
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna take over. But from game one, when Dac was

472
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: under center, he just had this calmness as poisonous about

473
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: him that everybody believed in him. I'm talking about even

474
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: the veterans, even Jason Witten's and the Dead Bryant's and

475
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: the Doug Freeze of the world who were best friends

476
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo, and that was their guy, that was

477
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: their ride or die guy. They looked at Dac and said, look,

478
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: this is the answer. This is how we're gonna get

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: to where we need to go. And when you have

480
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: a belief and a guy like that, it don't matter

481
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: how much you're down. You could be down twenty points,

482
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: you could be down fourteen points with two minutes left

483
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: in the game. The team is still gonna fight hard

484
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: and they're still gonna believe that he can go out

485
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: there and he can get a win for us, no

486
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: matter how bad we're down. And that's the stuff that

487
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: you want to pay for as a team and as

488
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: an organization. When you got the guy that everybody believes

489
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: in and no matter what the circumstances are, we're gonna

490
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: fight our butts off for this guy because he can

491
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: bring us home a victory. That's what you can pay

492
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: for it. And that's what I believe Jerry Jones paid

493
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: for it when it came to Dak Prescott, because he

494
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: might have overpaid him, but you can't you can't put

495
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: a price on the intangibles of guys believing you and

496
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: believing in you in the locker room. And that's what

497
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Dak provides for this team, all right, the Cowboys, and

498
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of other things to dive into,

499
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: but I just want to make sure we got the

500
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: DAK reaction there. They've restructured contracts. Who are some free

501
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: agents the Cowboys need to let go. Who are some

502
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: of the guys that they need to keep on this

503
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: football team. Also, let's get into dan Quinn. There was

504
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of conversation about dan Quinn at the

505
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: DAK press conference because the first time the media had

506
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity to ask Jerry and Stephen about it, and

507
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: DAK also weighed in on the new defensive coordinator will

508
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: do that. Players Lounge we brought to you by Hotels

Speaker 1: I got some feedback in my ears, so take that

554
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: out for me right there, please? All right, um, let's

555
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: get into restructured contracts here because now Dak Prescott is signed.

556
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: All right, Church, here's the thing. The Cowboys decided to

557
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: go to Tyring Smith, Lell Collins, Zach Martin say hey, guys,

558
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: we want to reduce your cap number this year, I mean,

559
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: or reduce our cap number this year. We're gonna give

560
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: you your money right now, which means, okay, instead of

561
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: getting a check every seventeen weeks, they're gonna go ahead

562
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: and decide to give it to you all at one time.

563
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I really would prefer

564
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: that if I'm play there, I'm so I see, I've

565
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: never really understood the any restructure, Like I didn't know

566
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: how it worked when it but is that that's how

567
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: it works. So when they were structuring your deal, instead

568
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: of getting paid you know every week every game, you

569
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: should get that lump sum right at the beginning, right

570
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: because this is they're they're not tricking the books. So

571
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: they're just tricking the books now and say, hey, look,

572
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: you know a church, we owe you ten meal this year,

573
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: but you know we're gonna do We're gonna give it

574
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: all to you a sign of bonus right now. So

575
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: you know what here it is, Um, we're not we're

576
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: only paying you through the year. But that's fine, We're good.

577
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: So this is a it's a magic trick. But ultimately

578
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: they needed to create more room. Okay, so the Dack

579
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: deals done, but they still need more room to sign

580
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: draft picks and to play a free agency. So those

581
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: are the three guys they decided to go to. Here's

582
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: something that I noticed, it's who they didn't restructure. Amari Cooper.

583
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, the wide receiver, has basically a two year

584
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: It's spent two years of guaranteed money, all right, and

585
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: so after these two seasons, and this is gonna be

586
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: the second season, they're free. So when you start to

587
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: look at, okay, who are veterans with contracts and you

588
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: know that they're going to be ending here the Cowboys

589
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: out on Amari Cooper is twenty twenty two because all

590
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: the all the money would have been gotten in the

591
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: first two years of the deal. So their cap hit

592
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: after if you know, for twenty twenty two, would be

593
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: six million dollars to let them go dead cap hit,

594
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: which is this is this is just a thought. Okay,

595
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm just just pontificated. Let's say after this season, you

596
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: want to say goodbye to Amari Cooper is making a

597
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: twenty million a year. You want to say goodbye, You'll

598
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: do a three million dollars cap hit in twenty twenty

599
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: two or a three million dollars cap hit in twenty

600
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty three. You spread over two years, you take that

601
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: set of paying him twenty million bucks, you could give

602
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup ten and then you take another ten million

603
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: dollars and try and fix your football team because Gallup

604
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: is a after the season. I have no problem with that.

605
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: If that's the route they want to go, and they say,

606
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what, Coop has been real two years, You've

607
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: been productive, but you know we're gonna save a little

608
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: bit of money and go elsewhere. I have no problem

609
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: with that because if you look at that Prescott and

610
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: you look at what he does when he passes the

611
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: vall and he put goes through these you know, godly numbers,

612
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: he spreads the fall around. It's not like he's featured

613
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: on one guy like Michael Thomas when he had you know,

614
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty catches that one year. He's not

615
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: focused on. He spreads the vall around. So in sending that,

616
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I feel like you can you can take Calamari Cooper,

617
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: who is a productive receiver and it is a very

618
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: good receiver, but you can take him out. You can

619
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: plug in somebody who might not be the caliber of

620
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: a Namari Cooper but can still be productive. Maybe an

621
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: the Manuel saying there's I'm not saying that's where they

622
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: would go, but a player like that who's productive but

623
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: not to the caliber of a TheMark Cooper. You put

624
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: a guy like that in there, I feel like you

625
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: don't miss a beat because what we know about Dak

626
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: Prescott is he spreads it around. You got Blake jarr

627
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Went at the tight end. Don't shoulta to the tight end.

628
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: They've both proven the b wall at least don'ton Shoultezz

629
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: proven to be a mismatch when it comes to linebackers covering.

630
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Then more safeties, so he gets spread the ball there.

631
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: You still got Michael Gallant, who's a deep ball threat

632
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: of fifty fifty jump ball guy that you can get

633
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: the ball to. And you oh and we forgot we

634
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: got an emerging CD Lamb who had an amazing rookie

635
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: season out the slot. So I feel like he can

636
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: spread the ball to multiple people and it's not like

637
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: he's laser and focusing in on Amark Cooper. And if

638
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: you take him out of the game, what am I

639
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna do with the rest of my You know, what

640
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: am I gonna do with the rest of his talent?

641
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do anything without a Mark Cooper.

642
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: I feel like he spreads the ball enough to where

643
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: if a Mark Cooper were to leave after this year,

644
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be that big of a problem and they

645
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: could plug in somebody else for it, So I wouldn't

646
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: have a problem with that. And if that was the case,

647
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: so this could be the final year for Amari Cooper

648
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: then and it wouldn't be about his talent. This has

649
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: really starting to look at all, right, the structure of

650
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: your salary cap trying to find cheaper ways, and you

651
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: drafted CD Lamb number one. That's five years of control

652
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: you're going to have at some point in time push

653
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: this guy, elevate him up. And so to elevate him up,

654
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: you may have to go ahead and remove Cooper out

655
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: of it. You'd like to possibly keep gallup and keep

656
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: him at a lower price to Coop. So this is

657
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: just the price of business, okay, And this is what

658
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: it comes to all right, another contract that you were

659
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: asking about, guys Jaylen Smith. All right, so the out

660
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys would be after this season. I know

661
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: there's some folks out there Thurston to get Jalen Smith

662
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: going this year. It ain't happening. Jaylen Smith is going

663
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: to be with the Cowboys, okay, and Stephen Jones admitted

664
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: that and said it again. So Jalen would be His

665
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: out is twenty twenty two, so it'll be next year,

666
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: and it would be six point eight million dollars a

667
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: dead cap hit. Everybody, no one else is really good.

668
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyrant Smith, you could do it at twelve million,

669
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: a dead cap hit, but I don't see them wanting

670
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: to take something that huge tank. It's too much. It

671
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: would be after the twenty after going into the twenty

672
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season, to be nineteen million. You don't

673
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: want to do that Deadcapit money much. And then Zeke's

674
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: Zeke's is not until twenty twenty three, and that's when

675
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: it would be six point seven million. So Ezekiel Ellis

676
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: would be here for the next couple of years. So

677
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: so when when you asked about that overstructuring contracts, there

678
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: you go. Um. This last Sunday, the Dallas Morning News

679
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: did a little synopsis on who's likely to depart. So

680
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: these were the five guys. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas

681
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: Morning News said, he thinks we'll go. I wanted to

682
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: get your take on it. Number one Shawn Lee, Number two,

683
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford, Number three, Shadow be A Woozier, Number four,

00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, number five, Joe Thomas. This was this was

685
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: my five, all right, Shawn Lee, Tyrone Crawford, Cheeto,
