Speaker 1: that stuff before we do that. Though I could play

Speaker 1: on that you got a game. No, I don't really
Speaker 1: have a game game, but like you say, you have
Speaker 1: a game because it's similar to a game. But whatever,
Speaker 1: it's not really a game, but it could be. It
Speaker 1: could be a game. You're all over the place all right,
Speaker 1: go with your welcome to me. I mean, like, no,
Speaker 1: whatever saying I'm saying later on in the show. We
Speaker 1: could talk about it. We did on our website. We
Speaker 1: did like first half, best moment, worst moment, best is
Speaker 1: that what you have to It's on my rundown. It's
Speaker 1: something we might get to if we had some time left.
Speaker 1: Oka every mind, he's looking at his notes ship he's
Speaker 1: still in a test score. You should have brought that
Speaker 1: up somewhere. He's just gonna trust me to know to know.
Speaker 1: I got this, man, I got this. I've been doing
Speaker 1: this for a long time. I got this, all right.
Speaker 1: I've been doing it a long time too. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get your headphones, I have nothing. All right, let's actually
Speaker 1: let's get to some news. I do want to get
Speaker 1: your opinions. Uh. This weekend there was some news that
Speaker 1: that I don't know if you call it broke, but
Speaker 1: there was new news that people were talking about that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were firmly considering Odell Beckham junior Um. I
Speaker 1: didn't put much in to it because we know around
Speaker 1: here the Cowboys are as do a lot of teams.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do their due diligence they're gonna look at
Speaker 1: every option. And that's what it sounded more like to
Speaker 1: me than than maybe what was being reported in when
Speaker 1: the Cowboys aren't playing, you still want to see and
Speaker 1: figure out, if you're other news outlets, how you can
Speaker 1: get the Cowboys involved because it helps that. All being said,
Speaker 1: what would you guys think of that? Like, are you
Speaker 1: guys in the camp of Hey, the Cowboys should really
Speaker 1: make an aggressive play to get an Odell Beckham Junior. No,
Speaker 1: not aggressive? No. So I like OBJ. I like him
Speaker 1: as a competitor, I like him as an effective football player.
Speaker 1: He is one of those generational guys. He's a specimen
Speaker 1: all those things. He overcame a lot in his career already.
Speaker 1: Um created, right, huh he said the other day by yea,
Speaker 1: he's created, not born. Yeah, it's two different things. He's
Speaker 1: one of the guys that's in a good way to
Speaker 1: put it. Yeah, he's just who are we talking about
Speaker 1: the other day on on Hang with the Boys when
Speaker 1: you said that somebody's created full of guys that are
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, I mean most guys are born. There's
Speaker 1: a handful of guys that just created. And OBJ is
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I mean to come back from all,
Speaker 1: you know, to go through all the stuff he went
Speaker 1: through early in his career, okay, and then to overcome
Speaker 1: his injury right to come back from Aco and be effective,
Speaker 1: go out through win the Super Bowl, and unfortunately, you know,
Speaker 1: he's saying another one. He's going to come back. If
Speaker 1: he comes back healthy, he's going to help somebody. He's
Speaker 1: gonna help a team. He's gonna be come into the
Speaker 1: wide receiver room and be a valuable asset, be a
Speaker 1: guy that you get depend on. Hopefully he gets us
Speaker 1: get hot going into the playoffs. That's why a team's
Speaker 1: gonna bring him in. What we do know about OBJ
Speaker 1: up to this point, all right, up to this point,
Speaker 1: is that he is a very passionate receiver. I put
Speaker 1: him in a passionate category. I don't call him a
Speaker 1: problem guy. You know, I've been with guys TiO, I've
Speaker 1: been with Moss. He's are passionate players. He wants the ball.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be just a guy that's president.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be a guy that's just in
Speaker 1: the locker room, that is on the field being a decor.
Speaker 1: He wants to have an impact on the game. The
Speaker 1: thing is with certain individuals such as a OBJ, when
Speaker 1: they are so passionate and they don't get their fix,
Speaker 1: they can be a potential problem for you in the
Speaker 1: locker room. One of the issues I had with Dallas
Speaker 1: relieving themselves of a Marii Cooper was that you were
Speaker 1: letting a true leader go and you were hoping that
Speaker 1: you would have somebody else step into that fold. And
Speaker 1: I don't think that somebody has stepped into that fold
Speaker 1: yet in all the areas in which they were hoping
Speaker 1: would be filled. Ob J doesn't help that solution. In
Speaker 1: that regard, he can potentially blow it up. And again
Speaker 1: that's us knowing what he's been to this date. We
Speaker 1: don't know how he would be coming off a second
Speaker 1: acl understanding what role he's coming in. Is he gonna
Speaker 1: be like a Jason Peters where I'm the veteran in
Speaker 1: the room now, We don't know. But what we do
Speaker 1: know is he wants the ball, and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that his leadership would be valued in this locker room.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one because everything you just said, like
Speaker 1: the first part of it, all the good stuff, was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the stuff the Cowboys need. And then the so
Speaker 1: called negative stuff which is based off perception, and you're
Speaker 1: saying that based off of what we've seen, and he's
Speaker 1: had enough sample size to go this is kind of
Speaker 1: who he is. But you know, like I look at
Speaker 1: it like is any of that a problem? Like I think, what,
Speaker 1: I'm not putting words in your mouth, but when I'm
Speaker 1: hearing from that is I look at it like maybe
Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't want to hurt CDs feelings or Michael
Speaker 1: gallups and maybe they need to be Maybe they need
Speaker 1: to be rough a little bit. This is what this
Speaker 1: team needs. You're saying a guy that could come help
Speaker 1: the room, be a veteran and wants the football and
Speaker 1: help this team. They're in playoff time and I could
Speaker 1: see the good out of it. I just I don't
Speaker 1: think they'll do it. I really don't think they'll do it.
Speaker 1: But I'm not really opposed to it though if they
Speaker 1: If they do either, if it messes up the locker room,
Speaker 1: then then shame on Dak, Shame on Zeke, shame on Tank,
Speaker 1: Shamon Micah. If it meant if he messes up your
Speaker 1: locker room, then that's on you that I think. I
Speaker 1: don't think I think they've established enough where that's not
Speaker 1: going to happen. See the thing about it for me
Speaker 1: is I hear what you guys are saying. Those aren't
Speaker 1: the things I most concerned about. And let me be clear,
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys wanted to do this, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be like old. This is horrible because because you don't know,
Speaker 1: you don't know. And that's really the part that worries
Speaker 1: me is you're talking about a guy that, now it's
Speaker 1: coming off his second a cl You're talking about a
Speaker 1: guy that's not a young player in the NFL. You're
Speaker 1: talking about a player that at this point, the way
Speaker 1: I look at it, what is that time that it's
Speaker 1: going to take once he's healthy, that's the first hurdle
Speaker 1: then for him to get to a point where he's
Speaker 1: actually the freak that he was. And is that still
Speaker 1: attainable after two acls. I don't know. Maybe it is,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. Is it still attainable this year? I
Speaker 1: don't need O'Dell to be good next year. I need
Speaker 1: O'Dell to walk in here immediately be good because he's
Speaker 1: got to meet They need help now. And that's not
Speaker 1: something like the way I look at it is, he's
Speaker 1: got to ramp up. Let's say, for example, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: did this and he was ready to go within the
Speaker 1: next two to three weeks. I would need him ramped
Speaker 1: up and ready to go by end of season so
Speaker 1: that when we hit the playoffs, like he is not
Speaker 1: only past that hurdle of being healthy, he has resumed
Speaker 1: his explosiveness. He is on the same page as Dak.
Speaker 1: Dak is on the same page with him. All these
Speaker 1: things have to happen in that month of time. So
Speaker 1: they're heading into the playoffs, You're getting the benefit of it.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's not worth the move. And that's the part
Speaker 1: that I'm more concerned about, is can can he still
Speaker 1: do that? At this age with two acl service ken
Speaker 1: he still do that? I don't question his physicality just
Speaker 1: because of the standpoint. He's again he's he wasn't. He's
Speaker 1: not one of those athletes that's just all right. He's
Speaker 1: a good athlete. He's a freaking He's a freak. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So you have to put him in a freak category.
Speaker 1: So you the expectations that you would have were the
Speaker 1: lack of confidence that you would have most players that
Speaker 1: come back from something like this. First of all, he's
Speaker 1: already showing you that he's overcame it first time. The
Speaker 1: first time, that's two. Absolutely, now it's two. But guess
Speaker 1: what for him, his understanding of what is going to
Speaker 1: take to get back here's he's already done it. So
Speaker 1: as an athlete or the biggest portion of getting injured,
Speaker 1: trust me, I know, right, is can I get back
Speaker 1: to form? Can I get back to shape? Right? Once
Speaker 1: you sustain that injuries? Like crap? Am I ever going
Speaker 1: to be the same guy again? He had those question
Speaker 1: marks already and he overcame them. He came back, he
Speaker 1: was that same dude. He was that same as impactful
Speaker 1: as he had ever been in his career, and he
Speaker 1: proved to himself and everybody else, Yeah, I could do this. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: sustained it again. Guess what, I know what it takes
Speaker 1: to get back to where I was at before. But
Speaker 1: that being said, and I think this can sometimes be
Speaker 1: the biggest problem for athletes too, is their minds say
Speaker 1: one thing, but at some point your body's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you think you can do this, you can't do this,
Speaker 1: Like you don't have the ability. And that's more what
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about this not necessarily him thinking he can
Speaker 1: get back, and he might actually think he's back. I
Speaker 1: look at some of these and I'm not insane the
Speaker 1: names some of these guys that are older who are
Speaker 1: still putting out these videos showing themselves working out and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I'm like, yeah, they don't look
Speaker 1: great like anybody they in their minds, I still think
Speaker 1: they still think I look good enough to play, and
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody else does. How many games
Speaker 1: would you need him to play? Honestly, if you to
Speaker 1: sign a OBJ. He's not He's still not from what
Speaker 1: we understand, he's still not healthy until what next month. Well,
Speaker 1: I did see, I did see this morning. They said
Speaker 1: that it was I think it was Rappaport. Actually that
Speaker 1: was reporting. I think he's on TV right now. I
Speaker 1: think he was reporting that supposedly by the end of
Speaker 1: this week or next week, he would be medically cleared. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now again, I don't know what that means. Does that
Speaker 1: mean he's He's just at the point where, now, okay,
Speaker 1: ob J, you can go and run like I don't
Speaker 1: know where he is in that recovery, right, and he
Speaker 1: gotta be careful cleared by who. Yeah, I mean, because
Speaker 1: when you get cleared by a team doctor, you know,
Speaker 1: let's say like let's say Michael Gallo, he gets cleared
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys doctor, like that's a big deal. He
Speaker 1: comes out, but if he doesn't perform well or if
Speaker 1: he has any kind of setback, that's huge to the
Speaker 1: medical team. That's why that they're so cautious about it. So,
Speaker 1: but who's clearing him? What independent doctor or whatever is
Speaker 1: clearing him to play? Because what it's no skin off
Speaker 1: their back if he comes out and he's not ready
Speaker 1: to go. So that I mean, I'm not doctors or doctors,
Speaker 1: and you would like to think all of them are
Speaker 1: going to be honest and all that, but it's different
Speaker 1: when it's not a team doctor. So that's that's what
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I don't know who. I just
Speaker 1: want to know who's clearing them, because I mean, he
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has all the available resources. But like
Speaker 1: my question mark is like, Okay, yeah, even OBJ came
Speaker 1: back last year. I don't know how many games he played, Okay,
Speaker 1: but there he was effective. He played seven games with
Speaker 1: the Rams and he played another wait, six games with Cleveland. Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. So started seven games. He actually played eight,
Speaker 1: but six with OA. So my outlook on OBJS, you're
Speaker 1: probably asking him to play six games. Yes, and to
Speaker 1: play six games, you said, Derek, he said like, I
Speaker 1: just don't think it's worth it. I guess I just
Speaker 1: want to didn't I didn't say that. No, No, you said.
Speaker 1: The last thing you said was I don't know if
Speaker 1: it would be worth it. Yes, if if he can't
Speaker 1: get to the point where he's playing at the level
Speaker 1: he was playing before, Okay, by the time he hit
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's not worth it. Yes, So worth worth
Speaker 1: what though? Worth the time, worth the development of Jalen
Speaker 1: Tolbert or James Washington, Worth worth the money, worth the
Speaker 1: money worth because here's the deal. When you bring him
Speaker 1: in the door, it's saying something to everybody else in
Speaker 1: that wide receiver room. So wait, wait, wait, but but
Speaker 1: here's here's the problem. No, here's the problem with that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I think guys tend to they tend to
Speaker 1: reach for whatever they think is the opportunity. If you're
Speaker 1: telling if you bring him in that room, the opportunity
Speaker 1: for somebody like Noah Brown changes right what he what
Speaker 1: he was doing before. He doesn't have that same opportunity anymore.
Speaker 1: So maybe his game goes down a little bit because
Speaker 1: he's reaching his opportunity just got cut. Do you want
Speaker 1: to really bring this guy in with the expectation to
Speaker 1: the room, Like, hey man, we just brought in Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior, But Oldell Jack Beckham Junior ain't really the
Speaker 1: same obj that we knew he is. He's a he's
Speaker 1: kind of a shell of that. And so that's why
Speaker 1: one of the things when the word dan Quinn and
Speaker 1: that name was being thrown around and potentially coming to
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, I had already experienced him in Seattle, and
Speaker 1: I told everybody before he was ever a real candidate
Speaker 1: and got sign. I said, this, dude, if you bring
Speaker 1: him on, he will change the culture of this team
Speaker 1: because it would being a competitive nature. Is nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: just have secured spots, right, unless you're just a freak
Speaker 1: guy like Michael Parts. Right, nobody just has their spots
Speaker 1: sold up. Okay, you're gonna have to compete for it
Speaker 1: every single play, and they're going to continue to bring
Speaker 1: talent in to challenge you and make you elevate your game.
Speaker 1: You either gonna elevate or you're gonna get out one
Speaker 1: or the two. Are you're seeing that on defense? Now
Speaker 1: you're seeing that on defense. Maybe just maybe their offense
Speaker 1: is like h that worked for them, Maybe we should
Speaker 1: start doing the same thing. Right And if you don't
Speaker 1: have if you have those guys in the locker room
Speaker 1: that are unwilling, right or uncapable of stepping their game
Speaker 1: up to that level of competition, then get them out
Speaker 1: of here. Yeah. I get that, but right now, you
Speaker 1: got what you got and I don't trade that lines gone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got what you got, So you getting them out
Speaker 1: of here? That's the next year. That's not a this year.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a coincidence that we saw the best of Noah Brown
Speaker 1: when he was given the opportunity to step up and
Speaker 1: assume more. Now does that change when you bring in
Speaker 1: somebody like OBJ. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: must be fair to him. I mean, I think Noah
Speaker 1: Brown has had a really good year based off of expectations.
Speaker 1: To me, But the best of Noah Brown was five
Speaker 1: catches for seventy five yards against the Bengals, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that helped them win. I mean they had to
Speaker 1: have that to win the game. I look back at
Speaker 1: the Eagles game or a playoff game later in the
Speaker 1: season and put him in the slot, and I just
Speaker 1: wonder what defenses view him. Yeah, Odell's he's been okay
Speaker 1: through a couple of games, series pretty good, had that
Speaker 1: one good game. Maybe he's not the same, but there
Speaker 1: he is in the slot on third and eight, as
Speaker 1: opposed to Noah Brown. Does it? Does it? Does it
Speaker 1: change thing? Does it? Does it free up CD more
Speaker 1: or gallop on the other end? You know, I just
Speaker 1: I still think having him there, I guess I'm selling
Speaker 1: myself a little bit more. I was kind of on
Speaker 1: the fence when the starter, but I'm just doing this.
Speaker 1: I'm okay. I just don't see the risk reward being
Speaker 1: that big a deal. Now, this is what will happen
Speaker 1: though you play. Let's say they lose to the Titans. Okay,
Speaker 1: then Titans look pretty good on defense whatever. They should
Speaker 1: have won that game last night. But stead they lose
Speaker 1: to the Titans and Obj gets one target, and you
Speaker 1: know there will be a headline on the website. Obj Colin.
Speaker 1: They're not using me like they should. And that's a story.
Speaker 1: You gotta deal with it and all that. They won't
Speaker 1: do that if Jalen Tilbert says it, or if Washington
Speaker 1: says it, they don't they'll do that for him, you know.
Speaker 1: And so you have to deal with that. You have
Speaker 1: to deal with your fourth third or fourth receiver. If
Speaker 1: he's the squirrel boy, they'll find that, they'll go they'll
Speaker 1: get him. You know. Anybody else that doesn't do anything
Speaker 1: in a game wouldn't get talked to, but he would,
Speaker 1: and he might say something, and then there's a story,
Speaker 1: and you got to deal with that. That's my concerning Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's fair. We see my greatest concern with this.
Speaker 1: It's not his physicalist, not when he come back and
Speaker 1: be effective, it's what he can potentially do to this
Speaker 1: locker room that doesn't have sound leadership in that room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. And that's why over the years you
Speaker 1: had backup quarterbacks that or hit quarterbacks that weren't in
Speaker 1: the league. I'm not gonna name names, but there's quarterbacks
Speaker 1: out there or they should go get him. They should
Speaker 1: go get him. Yeah. And the reason why you don't
Speaker 1: it's because now you've got the most popular backup quarterback
Speaker 1: in the world and he's getting talked to him for
Speaker 1: different reasons and all that kind of stuff, and it
Speaker 1: just creates a distraction because it's not good enough. You'll
Speaker 1: deal with distractions if they're catching ten passes for one
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Deal, You'll deal with that until they're not.
Speaker 1: But y'all think OBJ, is that's still that player? You
Speaker 1: expect that he's ready to be that player right now.
Speaker 1: Not gonna say that he's that player, But does he
Speaker 1: give you an edge? Yes? Absolutely, he gives you an
Speaker 1: edge if he's even a shadow of what he was
Speaker 1: last year in years prior to that. Yes, he adds
Speaker 1: value because that's such an indicting statement on the rest
Speaker 1: of this wide receiver chord. It's not because exciting. That's
Speaker 1: why we're talking about I mean, right, you're not. Who
Speaker 1: else are you putting a OBJ conversation from this lock
Speaker 1: from this receiving group? Well, I mean, how anybody? But but
Speaker 1: but that's also OBJ that we knew. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: OBJ from last year, even OJ last night, And if
Speaker 1: he's OBJ from last year, it is absolutely worth it.
Speaker 1: You go get him. My question is is he still that?
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the point. But that's the thing that
Speaker 1: every team in this league. He has all the leverage
Speaker 1: right now. Because every team in this league that needs
Speaker 1: help at receiver is going to talk to options. It's
Speaker 1: not a lot of options. He has all the leverage
Speaker 1: right now, and he automatically gives you value because of
Speaker 1: what you're saying. You have to respect him obviously. Now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he comes in as your wide receiver, three,
Speaker 1: your your third best dB is facing OBJ. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think I think the Cowboys would be his number one target.
Speaker 1: I believe that. Yeah, I mean I agree, but I
Speaker 1: just think they the Cowboys have what he's looking for,
Speaker 1: what he should be. I would imagine what a chance
Speaker 1: to compete. They're top five team in the league right now,
Speaker 1: they're top five team, They're top five team that actually
Speaker 1: needs help at receiver. Um, he seems like I never
Speaker 1: met him, but I have met him in the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowls rookie year, but I haven't. I mean, he seems
Speaker 1: like a guy that likes the limelight. He likes the attention,
Speaker 1: and you know what, this place that actually gives you that.
Speaker 1: So what is he like the money? Because I don't
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys will be the biggest spender. Nope, they won't.
Speaker 1: Greeny will so so will he be willing to take
Speaker 1: less money to come here? Yes? Do you think it
Speaker 1: depends on how much less? Yeah? Right, depends on how
Speaker 1: well we know about the Cowboys they like for they like.
Speaker 1: They often like to get deals, especially with these kind
Speaker 1: of players. They'll invest if they think it's a longer
Speaker 1: term player. If they don't see him as a longer
Speaker 1: term player, I don't know. My question is like, are
Speaker 1: they are they gonna be willing to step up and
Speaker 1: spend as much as the next I think so. I
Speaker 1: think Dallas. I was disappointed at the trade. That line
Speaker 1: that Dallas didn't make any moves. Yeah, I was really disappointed.
Speaker 1: We think we were talking about. But every other team,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say every other team, a lot of other
Speaker 1: teams that plan on being in this playoff run that's
Speaker 1: coming up, made moves to make themselves too. They did
Speaker 1: it a week early, They did it the week early.
Speaker 1: Absolutely on defense, right, But that wasn't that was a
Speaker 1: gaping hole for you. But guess what, you need something
Speaker 1: else good, good, And you're getting to score points in
Speaker 1: this in this in this conference, and this division. I
Speaker 1: can't be disappointed if I if I can't see what
Speaker 1: the trade was and I can't see what was the offer,
Speaker 1: because it sounds like they were they were trying. I
Speaker 1: mean if you look at reports, but the guys that
Speaker 1: were going after like like you let a guy go, No,
Speaker 1: we can't say no, we're still everybody what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But you're gonna go up to somebody who's getting paid
Speaker 1: the same amount? Like what why you're talking about Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't say that's a perfect athlete, comes in, does
Speaker 1: his job, very dominant, doesn't talk, masks, doesn't get angry,
Speaker 1: just leading the room, and you let him go and
Speaker 1: then you go talk to somebody else who who works
Speaker 1: the same amount of money. Right, but I think you're
Speaker 1: trying to go back and change history like you're right,
Speaker 1: I mean, should have done. I think everybody has said
Speaker 1: that was a baffling moment. I think everybody agrees with
Speaker 1: that that was a baffling twice. Now this is twice
Speaker 1: that this team needs to look at it. And this
Speaker 1: is it starts with Jerry Stephen Will McClay because they
Speaker 1: were here for all of this that you go into
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, thinking you don't need receiver help, and he
Speaker 1: end up trading the first round pick in the middle
Speaker 1: of year for him, and then you let him go
Speaker 1: and you go into the season thinking you got these
Speaker 1: guys and now you're over here trying to get so
Speaker 1: figure out that maybe your receiver position you need more
Speaker 1: than you think you do, and you're in. And that's
Speaker 1: happened twice. Now where they they almost did that. You're right,
Speaker 1: they almost tried to get you know, guy from and
Speaker 1: you know what, glad they didn't. I'm glad they didn't
Speaker 1: need I'm glad they didn't because I have been about
Speaker 1: that based off of what we've seen. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can talk about the players, but everyone
Speaker 1: knows that who they tried to get, and he hadn't
Speaker 1: played it down since. And I don't know if one
Speaker 1: I disagree with you guys on because I look, go
Speaker 1: look at his record. No matter what team he's been with,
Speaker 1: he's effective. But but so so if you gotta talk
Speaker 1: about if you're gonna talk about, hey, I'll go get
Speaker 1: OBJ because he's still gonna produce and he's still gonna
Speaker 1: be you rank him in that wide receiver room I
Speaker 1: think if you look at that guy and rank him
Speaker 1: in that wide receiver room, he's gonna be up there.
Speaker 1: But we talked about it earlier. You can't. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving out awards for effort. Oh you get. And I'm
Speaker 1: not even talking about player. I'm talking about acquiring assets.
Speaker 1: You don't get any credit Dallas Cowboys or any other team,
Speaker 1: Green Bay, all the other teams that quote unquote try
Speaker 1: to acquire somebody. You don't get any paths on the
Speaker 1: back for making a valiant effort. The reality is you're
Speaker 1: one injury away at the receiver position being a freaking
Speaker 1: glass brick scenario because the teams that you're going to
Speaker 1: be playing going towards us towards the end of the season, right,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota's right. You talk about the Philadelphias, those teams
Speaker 1: that really matter in your in your freaking conference, in
Speaker 1: your division. Those are the teams that you got to
Speaker 1: put up points against, and they got multiple and they
Speaker 1: got They went out there and got more assets than
Speaker 1: they even need, right, more assets than they need. Right.
Speaker 1: They address problems that they need to address so that
Speaker 1: they can make sure that when when if something hit
Speaker 1: the fan, they were still in a good position if
Speaker 1: Dallas has one injury right now, receiver freaking a. Let's
Speaker 1: go to our four tight inset again. Yeah, and better
Speaker 1: hope the defense stops him. Yeah, that's there. You go.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take our first first break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get into some of this mid
Speaker 1: year review that and come back back. This is Dallas

Speaker 1: I know, Isaiah, you're not used to having I'm being
Speaker 1: on a show. We got multiple sponsors, Like we don't
Speaker 1: just have one. They got multiple sponsors because they like, man,
Speaker 1: we want we want a piece of that thing. They
Speaker 1: help you. They actually called me the other day. Sponsorship
Speaker 1: called me the other day. I said, hey, we got
Speaker 1: another company that's interested in being your sponsored, Like we
Speaker 1: just got spons real sponsors. I wonder who's in control
Speaker 1: of those calls? Not me, I mean they handle that,
Speaker 1: they handle the sales. But hey, I was just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, it's take it back to your
Speaker 1: show and gives you something more, reads more. We're talking
Speaker 1: about it. It's okay, we gotta make money around, gotta
Speaker 1: make money. All right, let's get into our midyear review.
Speaker 1: Like I said, these are some of the questions I
Speaker 1: asked to Aisha and Barry. What that's a good idea?
Speaker 1: All right, I asked Aisha and Barry last week. But
Speaker 1: love to hear you guys thought on some of these topics.
Speaker 1: The first question I have for you is the player
Speaker 1: who you expect to add more to the defense down
Speaker 1: the stress stretch between Jonathan Hankins and Daman Clark. Jonathan
Speaker 1: Hankins Hankins Why uh? Daman Clark adds depth and potential,
Speaker 1: explosiveness and a whole lot of upside. Right excited. I'm
Speaker 1: a demon Clark fan. But Hankins is addressing a problem.
Speaker 1: So you look, you can ask some addressing a problem
Speaker 1: versus potential just flash and you know, more depth and
Speaker 1: more you know whatever, more effectiveness. But Hankins is actually
Speaker 1: like your solution. And you saw that in the one
Speaker 1: game that he played. Obviously, they ran to I mean
Speaker 1: that's what they do, right, They run the ball really well.
Speaker 1: But the plays that he was in there, he was
Speaker 1: very effective. Yeah, I agree. I think Also, I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a better and Neville Gallimore and a
Speaker 1: better bo Hannah because of that. I think he's he's
Speaker 1: here to help. Also, I don't think it's a coincidence.
Speaker 1: Terren Steel's played better with Jason Peters here, and and
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith's played better, and Connor McGovern when he came back,
Speaker 1: played better. I think I think Peters has helped. Also
Speaker 1: think it's like we talked about with the receivers. I
Speaker 1: think it's raised the bar a little bit, like you
Speaker 1: better watch you better watch your your your back here
Speaker 1: because I watch your spot because here guy's coming to
Speaker 1: take it. So I think he address addresses the problem.
Speaker 1: I also think they're going to be better and deeper
Speaker 1: at defensive tackle because those guys are going to raise
Speaker 1: their game too. What do you guys think about bar
Speaker 1: what he's done so far a relative to Demon Clark.
Speaker 1: As you said that Deman Clark adds depth. Do you
Speaker 1: think it's a situation where maybe Barr could end up
Speaker 1: losing playing time or maybe even his job as time
Speaker 1: goes on. I think for me, I think Anthony Barr.
Speaker 1: I still think they're trying to figure out where he goes,
Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it helps to have
Speaker 1: his versatility because you have Mica. I also think it
Speaker 1: hurts sometimes to have it, because if that makes any sense,
Speaker 1: I just feel like you're trying to figure out places
Speaker 1: for him. And I never thought he was a linebacker
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. I always thought he was a pass rusher.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, and he got Fouler, You've got Dren's
Speaker 1: you just got played, and you're trying to put him
Speaker 1: at linebacker. I don't think it is good there. This
Speaker 1: to me feels a little Keano neilish, like you're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out this spot for him. It was sure
Speaker 1: it would be nice if he could play it, but
Speaker 1: he's not a real linebacker. I think Demon Clark's a
Speaker 1: real linebacker. Just looks like agree agree, he's big and
Speaker 1: as big as he is a freaking U bar is bigger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about Damon Clark and what he can
Speaker 1: bring to that second level. I know he kind of
Speaker 1: got thrown into it in his first first appearance. He
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting to play that much. He obviously they're injury called,
Speaker 1: you know, to the bar allowed for him to step
Speaker 1: into that fold. But Barr is serviceable. I don't think
Speaker 1: I think he's He's a guy that you want there
Speaker 1: because he's he makes a quiet place, right, he makes
Speaker 1: the tackles, all those things. But to your point, he's
Speaker 1: not a guy that you want lined up over over
Speaker 1: a running back and trying to you know, guard him
Speaker 1: the things that they're asking their linebackers to do along
Speaker 1: with vander Ish, Right, So vander Esh is the one
Speaker 1: guy that's not gonna move. I think that you want
Speaker 1: a guy that's more agile, more explosive, a little bit
Speaker 1: faster to be able to go out there and make
Speaker 1: those plays, all right. Next question, who has been the
Speaker 1: bigger surprise? Tyler Smith, Terrence Steele or Noah Brown. Oh,
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith for me? M yeah, yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit more surprised that he's locked it down
Speaker 1: over there because I had high expectations for Steel, and
Speaker 1: I think Noran Brown has been good, but they're obviously
Speaker 1: trying to trade for help around him to not make
Speaker 1: him at number three, make him a four or five,
Speaker 1: which also helps your special Did y'all not think that
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith could do what he's doing, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I think coming in, I think the expectation was that
Speaker 1: he'd be a really good player. He was strong, but
Speaker 1: he had some issues with penalties. Let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: that's pretty much been what he's been right, ask you this,
Speaker 1: if you get a great report from Tyrant Smith, is
Speaker 1: are you putting Tyron Smith back at left tackle? We
Speaker 1: had this conversation, yes or no? I said no, I
Speaker 1: haven't I said no. I said no. That is the
Speaker 1: reason why Tyler Smith, to me, is the answer to
Speaker 1: your question. Because if if back in training camp, if
Speaker 1: you're like, Tyran's gonna get hurt and when he comes back,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to get his job back.
Speaker 1: Who was expecting that based off a guys can't even
Speaker 1: beat out Connormer Government guard just yet. I think that
Speaker 1: that would be a surprise. So the fact that we're
Speaker 1: even having this discussion about would Tyrant come back. That
Speaker 1: to me is the answer, because he has been phenomenal.
Speaker 1: That's actually an interesting point too. And you said he
Speaker 1: couldn't even beat out Connor mcgovernor, and he didn't, and
Speaker 1: I know, I know he didn't, And that's why I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit baffled when I hear people say, when
Speaker 1: Tyron comes back, you plug in Tyron at left tackle
Speaker 1: and you move Tyler to guard. Well, Tyler couldn't beat
Speaker 1: out the guard. And by the way, Connor McGovern has
Speaker 1: shown you nothing that says he needs to be beat out.
Speaker 1: At this point. He's playing pretty good football. So I
Speaker 1: don't see what that even works. You're basically you're saying
Speaker 1: all of none. Either you're going with Tyran and Tyler's
Speaker 1: going to the bench or maybe I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: move in the right side steals playing well, So either
Speaker 1: he's going to the bench or he's staying at his spot.
Speaker 1: And that's where I have a hard time sitting the
Speaker 1: rookie after what he's done so far. You sit the rickie,
Speaker 1: I mean until Tyr Tyrn right shows you that he can't.
Speaker 1: You sit the ricky because he's your Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: left tackle who had a you know, obviously he's had
Speaker 1: injury in the past, right, but he had a you know,
Speaker 1: an injury in camp messed him up. Okay, you give
Speaker 1: him the chance. Out of respect, you give him the chance.
Speaker 1: It's more about a respect respect not necessarily what you're
Speaker 1: getting on the field. Absolutely, this is it's a respect thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's when he's on the field. Is he
Speaker 1: not one of the two most impactful players on your team? Well,
Speaker 1: I used to be. I think it's more. I think
Speaker 1: it's more than that. I mean, it is about respect,
Speaker 1: but it's also about he has never proven when he's healthy,
Speaker 1: He's never proven to not be That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe that is what you're I mean, this
Speaker 1: isn't just one of those like back in the day
Speaker 1: when they used to start the guy. You know, like,
Speaker 1: this isn't a this isn't his play dropping off. You
Speaker 1: haven't seen the tire retyrant Smith's place are dropping off significant.
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case that maybe that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing with Zeke over over Pollard, you know,
Speaker 1: like almost out of respect. I mean I think that's
Speaker 1: even more so. I don't but that's another that's another
Speaker 1: topic that's a whole different questions. But Tyrant, Tyrant is
Speaker 1: Tyrant right when healthy, you want him on your freaking
Speaker 1: left side. Did you did you not see or did
Speaker 1: you see during camp any drop off in his play,
Speaker 1: because I think that was a conversation we had last week,
Speaker 1: is that during camp this year he didn't appear to
Speaker 1: be the same Tyrant who just whenever you took it
Speaker 1: for granted, like this has been for years now, you
Speaker 1: took it for granted. Whenever there's a rep where Tyrant
Speaker 1: is out there, whoever that defender is, he's gonna get up,
Speaker 1: He's gonna do this. That means he lost, He's gonna
Speaker 1: go back to the side and the next guy's terrible.
Speaker 1: Was dominant? No, No, he just wasn't. He wasn't dominant Tyran.
Speaker 1: That that every time he was up that guy lost, right,
Speaker 1: and that is fairer. It also needs to be pointed
Speaker 1: out we have never seen him go up against the
Speaker 1: best pass rushing team in the league. True, I mean
Speaker 1: that that this team was we found out now we didn't. Really.
Speaker 1: We did see him go up against a DeMarcus Ware regularly, right,
Speaker 1: and again, Marcus didn't make a habit of beating him,
Speaker 1: and there was some good pass rushings here for a
Speaker 1: few years. When you think about some of those guys
Speaker 1: that had some ability, he did that one year. He
Speaker 1: made it happen and we were like, oh man, this
Speaker 1: is a bad pick. And then it turns out Tyrant
Speaker 1: was great. That was just so he figured it out.
Speaker 1: Once he figured it out, he was like, all right,
Speaker 1: young man, and sit out. But also talking about figuring
Speaker 1: it out, I mean, Tyler Smith kind of figured it
Speaker 1: out at left tackle on the fly. I think he
Speaker 1: can do guard as well. I don't think he's a guard.
Speaker 1: This is a It's a perfect example of not every
Speaker 1: offensive line position is the same. It's just not. It's
Speaker 1: just like every playing receiver on inside versus playing receiver
Speaker 1: and outside's two totally different monsters. Right, Yeah, you run routes.
Speaker 1: Yeah you catch the ball. But if your perception is different,
Speaker 1: your outlooks different, you're spacing your you're you know, you're
Speaker 1: everything right, you're probably reception. All that stuff is different.
Speaker 1: He's not in the box guy, That's just what it is.
Speaker 1: Right from what we saw, We're like, okay, we can
Speaker 1: put him in. That's gonna be easier put him the
Speaker 1: left tackle to left guard. I was a culprit of
Speaker 1: that right. Same thing with Peters, he left tackle, put
Speaker 1: him in a guard, right, And I still stand behind
Speaker 1: Peter's playing that guard. But it's still different. He's not
Speaker 1: as dominant as he is is when he's out there
Speaker 1: on the island by himself. You would think, okay, let's
Speaker 1: it's easier when you when you're kind of boxed in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not for some guys, right. So for so Tyler Smith,
Speaker 1: kudos you bro for even bringing up this conversation in
Speaker 1: terms of your playing, because you've been effective as all
Speaker 1: get out out there on the left side and there
Speaker 1: hasn't been no question mark. All the question marks are
Speaker 1: going into the season when when Tyring got hurt was
Speaker 1: all crap the backside of Dak Dak's coming back and
Speaker 1: crowd is we're gonna have some issues out there out there, Chip,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do it. It's been good, it's
Speaker 1: been good. But I think when Big Dog gets back,
Speaker 1: if he gets back, young fella, come sit down now
Speaker 1: is now? If he mess up enough, yeah, be ready
Speaker 1: say warm, yeah, stay war. They won't stay on the bike.
Speaker 1: But sound like but I would say i'd be I'd
Speaker 1: be interested in seeing if he could play guard and
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith because what this team lacks to me is
Speaker 1: an inside push, and it's been the honest doesn't give
Speaker 1: it to you. I think Zach gives it to you
Speaker 1: for sure with leverage and all that. But Peters does
Speaker 1: in the ring game. Well, is he gonna be in there?
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about over McGovern, Are you gonna
Speaker 1: play Peters? Who? Who are we talking about here? I'm
Speaker 1: just saying you're talking about guard? Now are you talking
Speaker 1: about Smith bumping in? Yeah? But I mean I haven't
Speaker 1: replaced McGovern. If Peters is in there, that's a whole
Speaker 1: new conversation. But the but he's avery, but he's on
Speaker 1: the debt chart there, I don't think. I think Tyler
Speaker 1: Smith automatically just goes goes to one B. I'd left tackle, Okay.
Speaker 1: That what I'm saying is is that I'd like to
Speaker 1: see maybe him play at left guard because I want
Speaker 1: to see like that power. He's got power when he's
Speaker 1: when I look at Tennessee last night, when I look
Speaker 1: at what the Eagles have, and there's an Washington again,
Speaker 1: Washington that's always been a problem. I just look at
Speaker 1: strength and about to get back their best defensive play. Washington,
Speaker 1: they're an interesting team right now. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys noticed yesterday. If Washington would have won that game,
Speaker 1: all three teams NFC East would have been in the
Speaker 1: playoffs as of yesterday, that's all four teams would have
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs. They would have been all those
Speaker 1: wild cards would have been NFC East teams. That's that that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Washington has put themselves right back into the
Speaker 1: They're in the conversation like they're sitting right outside the playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's actually a good thing because you know, they haven't
Speaker 1: played the Giants yet. The Giants and Washington haven't played,
Speaker 1: so all this is going to kind of sort itself
Speaker 1: out at some point. But it's still interesting and I
Speaker 1: think it's way better than a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: when the NFC East was just like sit at the
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL. I made a statement last week
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, the toughest part of your
Speaker 1: schedule is behind you. That's not true. I mean, why
Speaker 1: don't you really look at it now and go okay,
Speaker 1: because Tennessee kind of snuck out, snuck upon me. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that they were as good. I mean, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Minnesota is what it is. I mean, they're winning games.
Speaker 1: To say, with the Giants, you can say what you want,
Speaker 1: like I'm not worried about them, and you don't have
Speaker 1: to be worried about them. But they win games. Yep,
Speaker 1: they win. They figure out ways to win, and then
Speaker 1: they did. You thought Green Bay, you thought Indianapolis were
Speaker 1: gonna be really good matchups. They are the ones you're
Speaker 1: least worried about at this point of these next several
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, Jacksonville ain't a gimme game.
Speaker 1: Like Jacksonville used to be a gimme game. That ain't
Speaker 1: a gimme game anymore. That team, they play hard. They're
Speaker 1: like the Lions. They play hard. You catch them on
Speaker 1: the wrong weekend, they can beat you. I think NBC
Speaker 1: is trying to flex out of that game, which colts,
Speaker 1: and that is around flex time, isn't it. They'll be
Speaker 1: flex knowing them, they'd be like, let's do a trade,
Speaker 1: Like we'll take that game back, We'll flex another cowboy.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, let's be honest. Ain't nobody giving
Speaker 1: up a Cowboys. No, I don't care what the scenario is.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody giving I'm saying they may want a trade
Speaker 1: or something like that, because anybody looks better than Cowboys
Speaker 1: Colts on a Sunday night. I mean even Cowboys Jacksonville
Speaker 1: looks better than that Cowboys Vikings. They would love to
Speaker 1: flex that one, I'm sure, but they ain't giving up
Speaker 1: a Cowboy if they can't get another one back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: giving up a Cowboys game. All We're gonna take our
Speaker 1: final break. We'll come back. We got a couple more
Speaker 1: questions for these guys. We'll be back. Dallas Cowboys dot

Speaker 1: beer of the Dallas Cowboys Let's get a couple more
Speaker 1: questions here before we end the show. This question is
Speaker 1: one that stomped our guys last week. It's more important
Speaker 1: stomped them like they were like they took about what
Speaker 1: I say. Well, I thought you said stomped or stump.
Speaker 1: You just say stump, But you said stump. I say
Speaker 1: stumped because you got the Kirk Franklin stomp stump. Okay,
Speaker 1: is it don't due them stomping or whatever? You yeah,
Speaker 1: that not right. I'll stretch up. You never see him
Speaker 1: getting more upset when we're gonna we're gonna move on.
Speaker 1: Let's here's the question. Here's the question off the hooks
Speaker 1: around Derek. Here's the question, here's the question more important
Speaker 1: to this team's success. Dak Prescott or dan Quinn? Dan Quinn? Easy,
Speaker 1: that's not even a stumper or a stumper. A stomper
Speaker 1: stumper dan Quinn. If if you don't have this defense,
Speaker 1: where are you at? We know where you're at without
Speaker 1: Dak with this defense, with this defense. So why does
Speaker 1: he get hurt? I mean, what happens the quinns he
Speaker 1: gets sick? I mean what no, I'm saying, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: Who's more important to the He's like, he's like, I
Speaker 1: don't think we can lose him. Like I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it, like like you just said, let's say
Speaker 1: Cooper Russ has to play in the next six seven games,
Speaker 1: or Joe Joe Wit calls the plays. I think I'd
Speaker 1: rather Joe Wit calls the plays because you've seen it.
Speaker 1: Just run this, okay, thanks, all right, run this. Mike
Speaker 1: is still out there running around. I think I'm for that,
Speaker 1: and then I'll have Dak. I mean, so Mica is
Speaker 1: more important than Dan. Yes, Mica is the most important
Speaker 1: player on the football team. Mike is the best player
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I agree with that. You don't think, Well,
Speaker 1: the reason why I say that, No, the reason the
Speaker 1: reason the reason why I say that is because I
Speaker 1: don't know if we actually know Michael Parsons in the
Speaker 1: way we know Michael Parsons without Dan Quinn. Okay, a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of different layers through all this. Um,
Speaker 1: so you're choosing a Dack over over Quinn. That's what
Speaker 1: you're saying, Dack over Quinn. I think Joe Witt can
Speaker 1: can take or whoever it is. I just just take
Speaker 1: the sheet and call it please and just run Michael
Speaker 1: over the place and let him play. No, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: dan Quinn through and through Dak Prescott to me, and
Speaker 1: I've always stood by this. I think he's a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a great quarterback. That's just been
Speaker 1: my opinion over the years. That's from velocity, that's from accuracy,
Speaker 1: that's from all those things. That has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with him as a person, has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: his determination, his will to win, all those things. It's
Speaker 1: just from what I have seen. I don't put him
Speaker 1: in that elite conversation. Dan Quinn is an elite coach.
Speaker 1: There's that's just no if answer butts about it. What
Speaker 1: he's done for this defense, turning them around from the
Speaker 1: worst in the league to the best in the league
Speaker 1: shows you exactly what the heck is going on there.
Speaker 1: This offense, okay, was number one in the league last year,
Speaker 1: okay with Dak Prescott awesome. Okay, But all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they're not at the top of the league. And
Speaker 1: obviously he's only been here for a couple of games.
Speaker 1: I get it, all right, People gonna throw shade, but
Speaker 1: Dak is not a guy that could just drop back
Speaker 1: and throw the ball at you. Dak Prescott is not
Speaker 1: as effective unless he has that running game. He's not
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball sixty eight times and get
Speaker 1: you a victory like dog On Mahomes did yesterday. Right,
Speaker 1: He's not that guy. He needs a running game. And
Speaker 1: and that's not a knock on him. That's just a
Speaker 1: type of quarterback he has. And I think I will
Speaker 1: much rather have a dan Quinn that's changing the culture,
Speaker 1: that's putting guys in a position to be successful based
Speaker 1: upon their abilities that they have, then then a Dakota
Speaker 1: Prescott at quarterback. Yeah. I mean again, I don't really
Speaker 1: see the scenario this year of that happening. Now, you
Speaker 1: hope not next year. The saying, man, I'll say it,
Speaker 1: I don't want to live in a world without dan Quinn. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's where I'm saying. Let's just say in some crazy
Speaker 1: scenario where he was going to be the head coach
Speaker 1: and he said I don't want this as my quarterback,
Speaker 1: that's a decision where you're like, wait a second, now
Speaker 1: you have to make a decision between the two. But
Speaker 1: right now, I mean as opposed to maybe like the
Speaker 1: worst flu bug. Ever, I don't think it might be that.
Speaker 1: It might be this flute thing is kind of crazy
Speaker 1: right now, so maybe it is drink drink days are blue.
Speaker 1: Well that I can see that question definitely stomped me
Speaker 1: because I don't I see that that was a stomper.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, appreciate you join us. We'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We'll get into some other questions I have these guys.
Speaker 1: We'll also take some questions. It's Tuesday, so we'll get
Speaker 1: lots of questions from you guys. Whatever you guys want
Speaker 1: to talk about. It's a bye week, coming off a
Speaker 1: bye week, so we'll have some time to really be
Speaker 1: able to say back and answer some questions from you guys.
