I wanted to take some time to go 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.200 back through. There were some things that we talked about 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.280 with my crew last week. I had Barry Church on 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.320 with me, I had a see Ayisha Morrison on with 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.240 me and UH and we did a lot of recapping 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.240 of the first half, and I would be interested to 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.679 hear some of the answers that you guys have to 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.480 some similar questions. So we're gonna go through some of 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.200 that stuff before we do that. Though I could play 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.040 a game too. I should be like, brought us play 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.920 a game, even though if you got a game, I've 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.120 talked to you six times this morning before, none of 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.960 it about the show, and then I bring this on 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.920 on that you got a game. No, I don't really 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.160 have a game game, but like you say, you have 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.720 a game because it's similar to a game. But whatever, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.760 it's not really a game, but it could be. It 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.560 could be a game. You're all over the place all right, 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.079 go with your welcome to me. I mean, like, no, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.440 whatever saying I'm saying later on in the show. We 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.160 could talk about it. We did on our website. We 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.880 did like first half, best moment, worst moment, best is 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.760 that what you have to It's on my rundown. It's 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.799 something we might get to if we had some time left. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.320 Oka every mind, he's looking at his notes ship he's 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.120 still in a test score. You should have brought that 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.920 up somewhere. He's just gonna trust me to know to know. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.000 I got this, man, I got this. I've been doing 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.440 this for a long time. I got this, all right. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.320 I've been doing it a long time too. You know. Yeah, 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:45.000 get your headphones, I have nothing. All right, let's actually 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.600 let's get to some news. I do want to get 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.640 your opinions. Uh. This weekend there was some news that 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.440 that I don't know if you call it broke, but 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560 there was new news that people were talking about that 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.799 the Cowboys were firmly considering Odell Beckham junior Um. I 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.320 didn't put much in to it because we know around 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.720 here the Cowboys are as do a lot of teams. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.520 They're gonna do their due diligence they're gonna look at 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.280 every option. And that's what it sounded more like to 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.720 me than than maybe what was being reported in when 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.639 the Cowboys aren't playing, you still want to see and 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.240 figure out, if you're other news outlets, how you can 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.000 get the Cowboys involved because it helps that. All being said, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.960 what would you guys think of that? Like, are you 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.840 guys in the camp of Hey, the Cowboys should really 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.799 make an aggressive play to get an Odell Beckham Junior. No, 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:33.639 not aggressive? No. So I like OBJ. I like him 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.920 as a competitor, I like him as an effective football player. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.480 He is one of those generational guys. He's a specimen 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.720 all those things. He overcame a lot in his career already. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.560 Um created, right, huh he said the other day by yea, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.480 he's created, not born. Yeah, it's two different things. He's 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.040 one of the guys that's in a good way to 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.280 put it. Yeah, he's just who are we talking about 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.080 the other day on on Hang with the Boys when 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.880 you said that somebody's created full of guys that are 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.960 like that, Yeah, I mean most guys are born. There's 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.080 a handful of guys that just created. And OBJ is 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.920 one of those guys. I mean to come back from all, 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.320 you know, to go through all the stuff he went 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.000 through early in his career, okay, and then to overcome 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.240 his injury right to come back from Aco and be effective, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.320 go out through win the Super Bowl, and unfortunately, you know, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.120 he's saying another one. He's going to come back. If 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.640 he comes back healthy, he's going to help somebody. He's 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.280 gonna help a team. He's gonna be come into the 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.080 wide receiver room and be a valuable asset, be a 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.800 guy that you get depend on. Hopefully he gets us 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.799 get hot going into the playoffs. That's why a team's 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.799 gonna bring him in. What we do know about OBJ 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.839 up to this point, all right, up to this point, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.000 is that he is a very passionate receiver. I put 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.039 him in a passionate category. I don't call him a 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.280 problem guy. You know, I've been with guys TiO, I've 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.560 been with Moss. He's are passionate players. He wants the ball. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.599 He doesn't want to be just a guy that's president. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.920 He doesn't want to be a guy that's just in 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.120 the locker room, that is on the field being a decor. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.320 He wants to have an impact on the game. The 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.360 thing is with certain individuals such as a OBJ, when 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.760 they are so passionate and they don't get their fix, 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.000 they can be a potential problem for you in the 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.440 locker room. One of the issues I had with Dallas 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.240 relieving themselves of a Marii Cooper was that you were 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:14.600 letting a true leader go and you were hoping that 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.240 you would have somebody else step into that fold. And 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.000 I don't think that somebody has stepped into that fold 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.520 yet in all the areas in which they were hoping 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.280 would be filled. Ob J doesn't help that solution. In 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:32.480 that regard, he can potentially blow it up. And again 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.440 that's us knowing what he's been to this date. We 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.239 don't know how he would be coming off a second 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.880 acl understanding what role he's coming in. Is he gonna 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.960 be like a Jason Peters where I'm the veteran in 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.880 the room now, We don't know. But what we do 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.960 know is he wants the ball, and I'm not sure 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.240 that his leadership would be valued in this locker room. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.680 That's a tough one because everything you just said, like 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.719 the first part of it, all the good stuff, was like, Okay, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.279 that's the stuff the Cowboys need. And then the so 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.400 called negative stuff which is based off perception, and you're 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.800 saying that based off of what we've seen, and he's 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.640 had enough sample size to go this is kind of 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.440 who he is. But you know, like I look at 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.920 it like is any of that a problem? Like I think, what, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.800 I'm not putting words in your mouth, but when I'm 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.240 hearing from that is I look at it like maybe 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.240 the Cowboys don't want to hurt CDs feelings or Michael 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.560 gallups and maybe they need to be Maybe they need 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:23.800 to be rough a little bit. This is what this 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.760 team needs. You're saying a guy that could come help 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.960 the room, be a veteran and wants the football and 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.600 help this team. They're in playoff time and I could 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.039 see the good out of it. I just I don't 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.120 think they'll do it. I really don't think they'll do it. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.440 But I'm not really opposed to it though if they 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.160 If they do either, if it messes up the locker room, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.799 then then shame on Dak, Shame on Zeke, shame on Tank, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.360 Shamon Micah. If it meant if he messes up your 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.560 locker room, then that's on you that I think. I 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.960 don't think I think they've established enough where that's not 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.200 going to happen. See the thing about it for me 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.560 is I hear what you guys are saying. Those aren't 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.200 the things I most concerned about. And let me be clear, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.960 if the Cowboys wanted to do this, I'm not gonna 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.760 be like old. This is horrible because because you don't know, 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.080 you don't know. And that's really the part that worries 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.760 me is you're talking about a guy that, now it's 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.680 coming off his second a cl You're talking about a 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.520 guy that's not a young player in the NFL. You're 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.800 talking about a player that at this point, the way 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.000 I look at it, what is that time that it's 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.120 going to take once he's healthy, that's the first hurdle 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.600 then for him to get to a point where he's 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.080 actually the freak that he was. And is that still 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.400 attainable after two acls. I don't know. Maybe it is, 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.080 maybe it's not. Is it still attainable this year? I 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.320 don't need O'Dell to be good next year. I need 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.520 O'Dell to walk in here immediately be good because he's 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.440 got to meet They need help now. And that's not 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.600 something like the way I look at it is, he's 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.240 got to ramp up. Let's say, for example, the Cowboys 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.840 did this and he was ready to go within the 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.920 next two to three weeks. I would need him ramped 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.760 up and ready to go by end of season so 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.360 that when we hit the playoffs, like he is not 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.640 only past that hurdle of being healthy, he has resumed 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.520 his explosiveness. He is on the same page as Dak. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.040 Dak is on the same page with him. All these 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.640 things have to happen in that month of time. So 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.880 they're heading into the playoffs, You're getting the benefit of it. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.480 Otherwise it's not worth the move. And that's the part 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.400 that I'm more concerned about, is can can he still 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.800 do that? At this age with two acl service ken 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.080 he still do that? I don't question his physicality just 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.520 because of the standpoint. He's again he's he wasn't. He's 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.480 not one of those athletes that's just all right. He's 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.920 a good athlete. He's a freaking He's a freak. Yeah, right, 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.720 So you have to put him in a freak category. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.120 So you the expectations that you would have were the 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:41.839 lack of confidence that you would have most players that 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.679 come back from something like this. First of all, he's 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.960 already showing you that he's overcame it first time. The 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.520 first time, that's two. Absolutely, now it's two. But guess 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.880 what for him, his understanding of what is going to 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.240 take to get back here's he's already done it. So 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.880 as an athlete or the biggest portion of getting injured, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.360 trust me, I know, right, is can I get back 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.800 to form? Can I get back to shape? Right? Once 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.600 you sustain that injuries? Like crap? Am I ever going 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.839 to be the same guy again? He had those question 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.800 marks already and he overcame them. He came back, he 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.040 was that same dude. He was that same as impactful 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.840 as he had ever been in his career, and he 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.240 proved to himself and everybody else, Yeah, I could do this. Unfortunately, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.960 sustained it again. Guess what, I know what it takes 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.160 to get back to where I was at before. But 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.040 that being said, and I think this can sometimes be 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.240 the biggest problem for athletes too, is their minds say 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.040 one thing, but at some point your body's like, yeah, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.480 you think you can do this, you can't do this, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.440 Like you don't have the ability. And that's more what 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.520 I'm concerned about this not necessarily him thinking he can 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.760 get back, and he might actually think he's back. I 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.400 look at some of these and I'm not insane the 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.400 names some of these guys that are older who are 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.480 still putting out these videos showing themselves working out and 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.400 all this stuff, and I'm like, yeah, they don't look 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.720 great like anybody they in their minds, I still think 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.560 they still think I look good enough to play, and 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.600 I don't know that anybody else does. How many games 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.160 would you need him to play? Honestly, if you to 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.480 sign a OBJ. He's not He's still not from what 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.760 we understand, he's still not healthy until what next month. Well, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.600 I did see, I did see this morning. They said 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.880 that it was I think it was Rappaport. Actually that 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.800 was reporting. I think he's on TV right now. I 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.720 think he was reporting that supposedly by the end of 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.319 this week or next week, he would be medically cleared. Okay, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.680 Now again, I don't know what that means. Does that 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.320 mean he's He's just at the point where, now, okay, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.480 ob J, you can go and run like I don't 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.599 know where he is in that recovery, right, and he 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.840 gotta be careful cleared by who. Yeah, I mean, because 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.439 when you get cleared by a team doctor, you know, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.840 let's say like let's say Michael Gallo, he gets cleared 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.680 by the Cowboys doctor, like that's a big deal. He 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.480 comes out, but if he doesn't perform well or if 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.800 he has any kind of setback, that's huge to the 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.679 medical team. That's why that they're so cautious about it. So, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.960 but who's clearing him? What independent doctor or whatever is 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.800 clearing him to play? Because what it's no skin off 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.400 their back if he comes out and he's not ready 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.480 to go. So that I mean, I'm not doctors or doctors, 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.000 and you would like to think all of them are 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.640 going to be honest and all that, but it's different 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.520 when it's not a team doctor. So that's that's what 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.720 I could be wrong. I don't know who. I just 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.280 want to know who's clearing them, because I mean, he 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.720 I'm sure he has all the available resources. But like 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.800 my question mark is like, Okay, yeah, even OBJ came 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.480 back last year. I don't know how many games he played, Okay, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.120 but there he was effective. He played seven games with 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:29.559 the Rams and he played another wait, six games with Cleveland. Okay, 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.200 there you go. So started seven games. He actually played eight, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.760 but six with OA. So my outlook on OBJS, you're 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.599 probably asking him to play six games. Yes, and to 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.080 play six games, you said, Derek, he said like, I 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:42.800 just don't think it's worth it. I guess I just 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.000 want to didn't I didn't say that. No, No, you said. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.719 The last thing you said was I don't know if 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.959 it would be worth it. Yes, if if he can't 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.079 get to the point where he's playing at the level 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.000 he was playing before, Okay, by the time he hit 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.000 the playoffs, it's not worth it. Yes, So worth worth 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.439 what though? Worth the time, worth the development of Jalen 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.960 Tolbert or James Washington, Worth worth the money, worth the 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.000 money worth because here's the deal. When you bring him 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.920 in the door, it's saying something to everybody else in 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.000 that wide receiver room. So wait, wait, wait, but but 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.880 here's here's the problem. No, here's the problem with that. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:22.120 Sometimes sometimes I think guys tend to they tend to 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.520 reach for whatever they think is the opportunity. If you're 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.440 telling if you bring him in that room, the opportunity 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.200 for somebody like Noah Brown changes right what he what 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.000 he was doing before. He doesn't have that same opportunity anymore. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.439 So maybe his game goes down a little bit because 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.640 he's reaching his opportunity just got cut. Do you want 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.480 to really bring this guy in with the expectation to 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.360 the room, Like, hey man, we just brought in Odell 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.480 Beckham Junior, But Oldell Jack Beckham Junior ain't really the 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.480 same obj that we knew he is. He's a he's 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.120 kind of a shell of that. And so that's why 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.040 one of the things when the word dan Quinn and 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.360 that name was being thrown around and potentially coming to 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.240 Dallas Cowboys, I had already experienced him in Seattle, and 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.840 I told everybody before he was ever a real candidate 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.640 and got sign. I said, this, dude, if you bring 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.440 him on, he will change the culture of this team 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.320 because it would being a competitive nature. Is nobody's gonna 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.960 just have secured spots, right, unless you're just a freak 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.319 guy like Michael Parts. Right, nobody just has their spots 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.480 sold up. Okay, you're gonna have to compete for it 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.600 every single play, and they're going to continue to bring 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.120 talent in to challenge you and make you elevate your game. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.920 You either gonna elevate or you're gonna get out one 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.480 or the two. Are you're seeing that on defense? Now 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.320 you're seeing that on defense. Maybe just maybe their offense 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.200 is like h that worked for them, Maybe we should 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.520 start doing the same thing. Right And if you don't 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.120 have if you have those guys in the locker room 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.880 that are unwilling, right or uncapable of stepping their game 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.319 up to that level of competition, then get them out 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.280 of here. Yeah. I get that, but right now, you 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.000 got what you got and I don't trade that lines gone, Yeah, 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.920 you got what you got, So you getting them out 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.720 of here? That's the next year. That's not a this year. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.840 And I don't think it's a I don't think it's 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:03.199 a coincidence that we saw the best of Noah Brown 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.320 when he was given the opportunity to step up and 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.720 assume more. Now does that change when you bring in 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.880 somebody like OBJ. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, And I 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.400 must be fair to him. I mean, I think Noah 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.040 Brown has had a really good year based off of expectations. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.960 To me, But the best of Noah Brown was five 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.240 catches for seventy five yards against the Bengals, I mean, 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.200 and that helped them win. I mean they had to 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.000 have that to win the game. I look back at 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.960 the Eagles game or a playoff game later in the 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.720 season and put him in the slot, and I just 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.040 wonder what defenses view him. Yeah, Odell's he's been okay 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.240 through a couple of games, series pretty good, had that 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.800 one good game. Maybe he's not the same, but there 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.440 he is in the slot on third and eight, as 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.880 opposed to Noah Brown. Does it? Does it? Does it 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.200 change thing? Does it? Does it free up CD more 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.320 or gallop on the other end? You know, I just 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.400 I still think having him there, I guess I'm selling 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.000 myself a little bit more. I was kind of on 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.120 the fence when the starter, but I'm just doing this. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.480 I'm okay. I just don't see the risk reward being 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.840 that big a deal. Now, this is what will happen 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.840 though you play. Let's say they lose to the Titans. Okay, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.680 then Titans look pretty good on defense whatever. They should 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.200 have won that game last night. But stead they lose 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.760 to the Titans and Obj gets one target, and you 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.400 know there will be a headline on the website. Obj Colin. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.920 They're not using me like they should. And that's a story. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.640 You gotta deal with it and all that. They won't 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.360 do that if Jalen Tilbert says it, or if Washington 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.440 says it, they don't they'll do that for him, you know. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.480 And so you have to deal with that. You have 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.480 to deal with your fourth third or fourth receiver. If 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.600 he's the squirrel boy, they'll find that, they'll go they'll 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.400 get him. You know. Anybody else that doesn't do anything 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.480 in a game wouldn't get talked to, but he would, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.400 and he might say something, and then there's a story, 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.360 and you got to deal with that. That's my concerning Okay, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.120 and that's fair. We see my greatest concern with this. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.400 It's not his physicalist, not when he come back and 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.080 be effective, it's what he can potentially do to this 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.840 locker room that doesn't have sound leadership in that room. Yeah, 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.320 that's that's fair. And that's why over the years you 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.920 had backup quarterbacks that or hit quarterbacks that weren't in 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.880 the league. I'm not gonna name names, but there's quarterbacks 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.400 out there or they should go get him. They should 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.640 go get him. Yeah. And the reason why you don't 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.520 it's because now you've got the most popular backup quarterback 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.320 in the world and he's getting talked to him for 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.200 different reasons and all that kind of stuff, and it 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.600 just creates a distraction because it's not good enough. You'll 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.080 deal with distractions if they're catching ten passes for one 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.000 hundred yards. Deal, You'll deal with that until they're not. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.440 But y'all think OBJ, is that's still that player? You 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.440 expect that he's ready to be that player right now. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.800 Not gonna say that he's that player, But does he 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.520 give you an edge? Yes? Absolutely, he gives you an 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.120 edge if he's even a shadow of what he was 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.120 last year in years prior to that. Yes, he adds 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.080 value because that's such an indicting statement on the rest 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.160 of this wide receiver chord. It's not because exciting. That's 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.360 why we're talking about I mean, right, you're not. Who 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.000 else are you putting a OBJ conversation from this lock 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.600 from this receiving group? Well, I mean, how anybody? But but 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.320 but that's also OBJ that we knew. I'm talking about 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.880 OBJ from last year, even OJ last night, And if 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.320 he's OBJ from last year, it is absolutely worth it. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.720 You go get him. My question is is he still that? 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.520 That's that's that's the point. But that's the thing that 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.639 every team in this league. He has all the leverage 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.240 right now. Because every team in this league that needs 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.280 help at receiver is going to talk to options. It's 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.240 not a lot of options. He has all the leverage 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.359 right now, and he automatically gives you value because of 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.760 what you're saying. You have to respect him obviously. Now 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.680 all of a sudden, he comes in as your wide receiver, three, 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.879 your your third best dB is facing OBJ. Yeah. I 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.400 think I think the Cowboys would be his number one target. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.600 I believe that. Yeah, I mean I agree, but I 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.280 just think they the Cowboys have what he's looking for, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.919 what he should be. I would imagine what a chance 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.120 to compete. They're top five team in the league right now, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.479 they're top five team, They're top five team that actually 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.000 needs help at receiver. Um, he seems like I never 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.600 met him, but I have met him in the Pro 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.399 Bowls rookie year, but I haven't. I mean, he seems 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.200 like a guy that likes the limelight. He likes the attention, 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.199 and you know what, this place that actually gives you that. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.960 So what is he like the money? Because I don't 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.600 think the Cowboys will be the biggest spender. Nope, they won't. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.800 Greeny will so so will he be willing to take 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.040 less money to come here? Yes? Do you think it 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.720 depends on how much less? Yeah? Right, depends on how 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.679 well we know about the Cowboys they like for they like. 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.680 They often like to get deals, especially with these kind 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.720
