00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,320

00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: is like. You don't know about struggles, Isaiah.

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,520

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Stand back, I don't. I've been spoiled by that.

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 6: You didn't grow up on the mean streets of little Elm, Texas.

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Like I did without a desk. I've been sitting at

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: the middle of twenty twenty buddy desk list. That's true.

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: It's not the beginning of twenty twenty. And the beginning

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. Beamer was sending me freaking microphones and

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,720

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I like this. I

Speaker 1: of that. What are you trying to show here?

Speaker 5: Scout and Combine Patrick, it was great. We had a

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: lot of fun. We saw you there quite often.

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Actually, I say, couldn't walk past the TV screen.

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: Every time we walked into radio row or any kind

71
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: of media or any kind of hotel lobby or whatever

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: it was. I would just hear Isaiah's voice like a

73
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: ghost in the back of my head, and he was like,

74
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: but what about Michael Pitnix, What about.

75
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Roman? Why? Why are all these guys not the top

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: of the league right now?

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 5: It's like they went you dubbed face yeah and around

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 5: every time.

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: So and now it reminds you who the super Bowl

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: champions are.

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: And then there you have it done.

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Let's get into some news and notes, Patrick, because the

83
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: last time we were on the show was.

84
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 5: Right before we went to Indy.

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, in my goodness, there's a lot that happened tween

86
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: now and then a little bit.

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's try to make this as concise as possible,

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, yeah, no, don't do that. Yeah.

89
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: First and foremost, George Pickens has officially been friends tag

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: is done now. I like that. That is what the expectations.

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: Style boys are looking by themselves some time. They now

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: have until July fifteenth to get a long term deal

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: done if he If a deal is not done by

94
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: July fifteenth. Then George Pickens, assuming he signs the tag

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: as is expected, if it were to come to that,

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: he would be fully guaranteed twenty seven point three million dollars.

97
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: That's for twenty Yeah, that is a lot for twenty

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: twenty six. All of that is sitting against the cap

99
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: as we speak. I don't like those words. Don't like them. However,

100
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have already begun pulling expected triggers. So if

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: you follow the science on Dallas Cowboys dot com, you

102
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: ain't been going that long. Come on with it on

103
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com. You gotta blew through that, you know.

104
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 6: Isn't it so nice of the players to allow the

105
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys to restructure their own contracts?

106
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Crazy? The selflessness is jerius, give me a bunch of cash?

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god. For those that don't understand, there's a

108
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: difference between reworking a contract i e. Paycut and whatever

109
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the case may be, versus restructure. Restructures are baked into

110
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: the negotiations when the deal is signed. The team has

111
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: that option that is exclusive to the team. They don't

112
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: need the players permission, and it's because the players are

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: never going to say no, because it liquid dates, more

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: of the contract upfront, cash in the pocket right now

115
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: versus down the road, Old darn Old darn So, Dak Prescott,

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb, Tyler Smith. They've now had their contracts restructured,

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: freeing up roughly sixty six million dollars. And I tell you, Dak,

118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: Tyler and CD they're not exactly upset at that. Okay,

119
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys get salary cap space, the players get

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: cash up front. That works. Cowboys have several more triggers

121
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: that they can pull. Oh so Diggie Zuoa comes to mind. Yes, sir,

122
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: can you help the people and myself understand what the

123
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: salary cap position of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm I'm glad

124
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: you said that, because the Cowboys now are aware of

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: what the NFL salary cap is for twenty twenty six.

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: It is a record setting three hundred and one point

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: two million dollars. Does that mean that there's more space?

128
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: There is more space historically more. This is also a

129
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: historic jump. This is the biggest jump in the salary

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: cap in NFL history history, literally everdo history now at

131
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: three hundred and one, let's just round it, making it

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: an easy number. Three hundred and one million dollar salary

133
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: cap space. The Cowboys before they structured any of these contracts,

134
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: but including the franchise tag already in it, they were

135
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars, fifty six million dollars in the hole.

136
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: They freed up sixty six million dollars. They're ten million

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: in the green with more triggers that they can pull.

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark and Quinny Williams, if you extend them now

139
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: or rework their contract, one of those two things is

140
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: expected to happen. You free up almost thirty million dollars

141
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: combined between those two guys alone. And I haven't even

142
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: talked about guys like oh so odigge Zoo and oh

143
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: doron Bland, any guys that they might want to rework

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: a restructure. So, Cowboys face, do you think that they

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: can get to they as of the salary cap being

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: announced before they pull the triggers on CD Deck and

147
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: Tyler for that sixty six, they can free up one

148
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one million dollars in salary cap space

149
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: against the negative fifty five. And what is your response

150
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: to those that are like they're just kicking the can.

151
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I'll kick your can, That's my response listen, everybody is

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: no secret Patrick, no Sewalker does not want to hear

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: about damn Pie. I don't want to hear about Pie.

154
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: This is not life. I don't know the other pole,

155
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: not that the colored pile, the whites only pole. I

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: want to hear about Poppy. Okay, if you know the reference,

157
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: you know the reference south South to Martin Lewrens and

158
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. But no, seriously, I ripped. Two things are true.

159
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: The salary cap is real, but the salary cap can

160
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and has been finessed so many times throughout the course

161
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: of the salary caps existence by teams. Talk about the

162
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints and the Drew Brees era, talk about

163
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Rams in recent seasons. They know for your Eagles.

164
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: They do it every year, and everyone says, oh, well,

165
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the bill comes due. Well, yeah, theoretically the bill comes due,

166
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter if the bill comes due. When

167
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: next year the salary cap goes up exponentially again, and

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: you have new TV contracts and things like that, sponsorship

169
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: deals that are coming in. It all works itself out organically.

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Plus you have organic attrition in the roster. There are

171
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: players who are on the Cap right now, who won't

172
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: be on the team next year, be it expirational contract

173
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: or waving of that player, so many machinations that the

174
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: average any die hard fan. The fellow capologists also understand

175
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: that this is not an issue as much as casual

176
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: fans would believe. And that's why when you hear Jerry

177
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: Jones speaking from the combine, even before so Stephen Jones,

178
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: they're saying, even if George Pickens was forced, forced, even

179
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: if he chose to play on the twenty seven point

180
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: three million dollar franchise tag, and this is a direct

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: quote for Stephen Jones, we can still do everything we

182
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: need to do, end quote Stephen Jones. Jerry Jones saying

183
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: things like that's not going to stop us from quote

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: unquote busting the budget, doing everything we can because right

185
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: now needs to be the time.

186
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: And I agree, and I think one of the things

187
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: that people are not necessarily focusing on that Jerry said

188
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: on the bus with us the other day, and the

189
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: quote that came out of that is like, I'm I

190
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: could see us.

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: Being aggressive in free agency.

192
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: Like that was the quote that blew up, and everybody

193
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: kind of like hung their hat on that. The part

194
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: of that conversation. I believe it was in the same

195
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: answer he said, I'm willing to wager my future. Yeah,

196
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 3: he said, I'm willing to dig into the future and

197
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: the budget. This is paraphrasing, of course, the fact that

198
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: he's said that, that's the first time I've ever seen

199
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: heard him.

200
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I was about to ask the question because you guys,

201
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: you gentlemen, strapping young men, have opportunity to speak with

202
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: him strectly and have been around him for a number

203
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: of years now, there is and obviously we have information

204
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: that we can always you know, put forward to the public.

205
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: But what would you guys say or what would you

206
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: guys convey to the general public about what you guys

207
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: have seen from Double J from the past, you know,

208
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: when he was just you know, kind of throwing out headliner,

209
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: you know, comments and quotes versus the vibes that you

210
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: guys get now and when he speaks like like, can

211
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: you guys, can you guys descriptively convey that.

212
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you answer, But I've got something like

213
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: cut and dry here that I've I've been really like

214
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: chewing on some Well, I want.

215
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 6: You to be able to well, I just want to

216
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 6: say that. I think there's a lot of responsibility taken

217
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 6: in the response that he's given so far this offseason.

218
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: I think he acknowledged that things didn't go their way

219
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 6: last season because of the things that they needed to

220
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 6: go right for them, like the health of Revel, the

221
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 6: health of Overshown, the signing of certain linebackers that they

222
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 6: thought we were going to contribute, the signing of iber Flus,

223
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 6: who they thought was going to turn things around on

224
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 6: defense for all intentsive purposes. Now the rhetoric is that,

225
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 6: you know, we can't rely on that anymore. We can't

226
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 6: rely on the chance that these things are going to

227
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 6: go our way. We can't take a shot on red

228
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 6: shirt players that are going to contribute, or guys that

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 6: we have to wait until we tend to start contributing.

230
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 6: We need guys that are ready to go right now.

231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: My favorite quote from Jerry in that one hour bus

232
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 6: conversation was we got to go this year.

233
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: Come on, man, It's the first time I've heard them

234
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: take responsibility, specific specific responsibility, but also specific examples and

235
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 3: basically say they were wrong. Yes, that's the first time

236
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: I've ever heard them do that in a consistent manner.

237
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: So and we've heard that conversation from Will McLay and

238
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones in.

239
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: The past, where you talk about alignment right top to bottom.

240
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: You're aligned from the front office to the scouting department,

241
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: to the coaching staff to the players. And in the

242
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: past there's probably been one or two of those things aligned,

243
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: but not all four. Every couple of years you might

244
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 3: see all four aligned, and that's when you get the

245
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 3: twenty sixteens. That's when you get the twenty twenty threes.

246
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: That's when you get the seasons that go really well

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: and things are kind of rolling in the right direction,

248
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: but then when one of those.

249
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: Slips out of place, then you're not there.

250
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: I feel like they're getting back to that same spot

251
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: despite what season they had in twenty twenty five, because

252
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 3: you're hearing the same thing from Shody, you're hearing the

253
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 3: same thing from the front office, you're hearing the same

254
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: thing from Will McClay.

255
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: Top to bottom.

256
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: They haven't been good enough, that's what they've been talking about,

257
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: and they're changing. They're changing ways that they've done things

258
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: consistently over.

259
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 5: The last decade. The red Shirt players was a big one.

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 3: I asked that question on the bus for a reason, like,

261
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: have you changed the way that you're looking at medically

262
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: flagged players, whether it be in free agency or the draft,

263
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: And he said, yeah, you're not gonna see us take

264
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: any red shirt players.

265
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: And of course fans love that because.

266
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: I jerked out of the type of thing, and that's

267
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: nothing against the players they've taken in the past. I mean,

268
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: Savona revel is one of the guys they've talked about

269
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: glowingly as a possible second year jump.

270
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 5: He was a medically red flag player.

271
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: But this year, knowing the type of quarterback that you have,

272
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: the type of offense you have, the type of over

273
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: arching talent you have on defense, despite the lack of

274
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: production as a whole last year, I think they see

275
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 3: this as a window.

276
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 5: But this window is going to close quickly. And that's

277
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 5: why they're saying.

278
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: Forget all the future, forget what we're going to wager

279
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: in the future, We've got to go now. And that's

280
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: the first time I've really heard that. I said this

281
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: on this show a couple of weeks back. I will

282
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: believe it when I see it in free agency, and

283
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: I still feel that way, of course, but this is

284
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: this does feel a little different.

285
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 5: It really does.

286
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: Listen, this is the moment that it's very much show me, right,

287
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: it's very much show me. Yeah, hear you, We hear you,

288
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: We hear you, show me.

289
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: I would be more disappointed this year if they don't

290
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: get aggressive. But based on the build up and based

291
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: on the way that they're saying things here, then I

292
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: was even in the all in year in the kind

293
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: of actually twenty twenty three and they're trying to push

294
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: the chips to the middle of the table, We're gonna

295
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: spend a lot, and then they don't. If they do

296
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: that this year and it's a dud and free agency,

297
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: I would be more dissip Yeah.

298
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: And I agree because the vernacular that they're using this

299
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: year is different than that year. That year it was

300
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: all in, and then it was Jerry kind of walking back, Well,

301
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: what's your definition of all in? Yeah, Websters defines all

302
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: in as da da da da dad. Now it's it's

303
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: much different and everybody's in lockstep. And when you see

304
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: them being willing to again move on from Eberflus after

305
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: one season, when you see them early get Javonte Williams

306
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: done and now comes to bigger question, Okay, are you

307
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna wait until training camp for this George Pickens thing

308
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: to be resolved or are you not? Brandon Novry, there's

309
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: a great likelihood that at some point today they're going

310
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: to put a second round tender on him, possibly TJ

311
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Bass as well. Does does that mean those things need

312
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: to continue to roll along intil the summer? No, get

313
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: those deals done, get them out the way, free up

314
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: your salary cap in addition to the other triggers that

315
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you have, so that when legal tampering starts on March ninth,

316
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: you're one of the first ones out the gate.

317
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 5: I foresee.

318
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: And I asked that question because it like, like most

319
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: people right kind of show me right. I don't. But

320
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: then when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, I hear

321
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: what you're saying all to between between the information that

322
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: we get the back end and how I see people

323
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: move around here now in terms of the executives, I

324
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: would be shocked if we don't see action as soon

325
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: as free agency opens up. I genuinely believe that there's

326
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a heavy hitter day one soon as it

327
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: opens up day one, and I think that is going

328
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: to be the trigger that kind of sends a bat

329
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: signal in the air to the remain of the free

330
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: agents that would potentially be great ad disges for the

331
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys that might get a little bit more money

332
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: somewhere else. But if they see that player or players

333
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: come and sign with Dallas, they're gonna be like, oh yeah,

334
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I need It's a recruiting tool, the right to get

335
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: in on it. It's a recruiting tool. So the moves

336
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: that they make on day one a free agency, I

337
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: think are going to literally send out morse code to

338
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: the remainder of the free agents that would there are

339
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: in a financial position to take a little bit of

340
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: a hit there to come join something. And I'm talking

341
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: about defense. I'm not talking about offense. We're all talking

342
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: about defense, right, So, I think there's gonna be one

343
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: heck of a linebacker that I get signed. I think

344
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be one heck of a nickel I guess

345
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: heck of a safety to get signed. And I think

346
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be one heck of an outside backer slash

347
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: pass round. Well to that last point, you just said,

348
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: one heck of a outside linebacker slash pass or sure

349
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: don't take trades off the table in this in this

350
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: process as well, because free agency is one thing and

351
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: they're looking at that, but they've continuously said they're not

352
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: unwilling to come up off one of those first round

353
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: picks in free agency if it for the right person.

354
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: So if you want to max out and doing so

355
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: then you know by all means. But my point being,

356
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: and I love that you brought the soup because we

357
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: were talking about this last week. Options. You have options

358
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: now in safety realm safety doesn't look great and free

359
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: tocy right now. Linebackers linebacker, linebacker like spectacular. Oh there's

360
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: there's two guys. Yeah, I know, and I speak on

361
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: those two guys on Open Market series on Dallas Cowboys

362
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: dot com. Bro ain't offenses if you add just imagine

363
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: two dred headed linebackers.

364
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Oh.

365
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: My god, you're a Harris And I know they're getting

366
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: Getting both of the gentlemen that I would love to

367
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: see on this defense would be too expensive, I'm pretty

368
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: sure at that position. But if you were able to

369
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: get both of those gentlemen at the second level home,

370
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: we credit I will say the energy to Isaiah's point,

371
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: and this is why we have to we have to

372
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: balance what we're saying, because Isaiah, Kyle, Josh and myself

373
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: we are all of the same ilk in that show

374
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: us we heard it all before. That is true. It

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: is also true, though, that the air feels different. It

376
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: feels like more than anything, Jerry is he's facing his

377
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: own mortality. He doesn't have time for a bad time,

378
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and he's realizing it more and more. Dak Prescott, he's

379
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: in his prime. How many more prime years of Dak

380
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: Prescott are you willing to waste? One of Jerry's biggest

381
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: regrets in his career has to do with wasting Tony

382
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: romo career. Does he now want a second franchise quarterbacks

383
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: career wasted on his watch? No, So it feels as

384
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: if they're moving different. They're definitely talking different. Now it's

385
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: time to put the rubber to the road.

386
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 6: My thing is, as far as free agency goes, I

387
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: don't want another situation where it's like we're talking this

388
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 6: big game and then it comes free and then it's

389
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 6: you know, we start signing guys, but it's those guys

390
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 6: that you don't really know their name, and it's like, oh,

391
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 6: well he could maybe, and no, we're gonna get some

392
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 6: really good dudes.

393
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: Familiar names.

394
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I foresee that being the case.

395
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: Maybe some former enemies.

396
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but probably at least one of those.

397
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 6: Yes, you're gonna start hearing those names. That's like, oh,

398
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 6: that's a that's a player that is a certified player

399
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 6: of the league, that has the pedigree that can contribute

400
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 6: to a defense right now, not the hope that this

401
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 6: guy can contribute. The proof is in the putting.

402
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I believe there's gonna be two

403
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: or three of those guys immediately. And I think that

404
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: I believe that they're going to use that and the

405
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: timing of day one to grab those guys to let

406
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: everybody know this ain't what has been even to go

407
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: along with you know, with the with the whole, you know,

408
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, still is going to

409
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: be the fact that Christian Parker will have growing pains.

410
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: We know this first year as a defense. But what's

411
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: also true is his connections in this in this league

412
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: is ridiculous coaches and players, and then look at the

413
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: staff he's built. There will be players in free agency

414
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: that look at Christian Parker and that staff and say,

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: you know what I want end they've got the artist Dixon,

416
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: the next d line coach for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah. Yeah,

417
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look at where these guys are coming from,

418
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: whether it be around the league from Philadelphia for example,

419
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: the defense that they had in Arizona, Scott Simons is

420
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: coming from there. You have guys coming from the collegiate

421
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: ranks UZO in Georgia. And why does it matter where

422
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: these coaches were?

423
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 8: No?

424
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: See, what do you mean? What is it? Man? Why

425
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: does it matter when it comes to free agency? Because

426
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: when you get to reach back and get those guys,

427
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: it's curtain season. You mean, coaches like the coach players

428
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: that they've already coached before from previous teams kind of.

429
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, just it happens, right, I mean,

430
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: it just happened last year. The difference being is that

431
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: where these guys are coming from, now there are players

432
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: there you actually want on this roster.

433
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: Interesting, Okay, I'm looking at the chat right, Yeah, there's

434
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: there's a lot of skeptic on.

435
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: I get it.

436
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: Show us completely understands. Jack is like, it doesn't feel different.

437
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: I guarantee you in this building, I get it. It

438
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: does in here, and it might fool us. It might

439
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 3: we may be fooled by us. We may be just

440
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: too close to the fire and we're feeling the heat

441
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: a little bit.

442
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

443
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: But what I do though, is it does feel different

444
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: the last we've been here.

445
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: Since I've been here since twenty nineteen, I've seen the

446
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: ups and the downs, and mostly downs in the off

447
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: seasons for the Cowboys. This one feels a little different.

448
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: It does, and that's just how it is as we

449
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: stand here on March third. By the time we get

450
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: here on March tenth next week and we've got a

451
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Tuesday show one day after the legal tampering period opens,

452
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: we may not feel the same.

453
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: But right now today it does feel a little bit different.

454
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 5: I just want to lay that out.

455
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times they want us to say,

456
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: show us.

457
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: No respectfully with all of that, respectfully.

458
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, which is why I'm bringing this up,

459
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: and I wanted you guys to give insight. But like

460
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: for myself, speaking for myself, this is the first first

461
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: time where I feel like they're not going into the

462
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: off season trying to get guys for discount. Double check. Yeah,

463
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: I agree. Now, Like this is the first year I've

464
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: ever felt that. I'm like, I don't think that they're

465
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: I know, I always knew day one. They're not doing

466
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: nothing so far, they're moving differently and they have time

541
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys.

542
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 5: This sentglement is also brought to.

543
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: You buying vis a line the official smile of the

544
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. Patrick Ocaser Josh Rodriguez stand backer in the

545
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: back real quickly, Pat, I know we kind of like

546
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 3: upended news and notes. There's a couple more just bullet

547
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: points we probably need to hit, starting with Donovan.

548
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: Azrak Yeah, yeah, yeah.

549
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: So over the course of the combine, we were told

550
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: that Donovan Azeraku underwent laboram surgery on his hip several

551
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago.

552
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

553
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: The expectation is that he will miss OTA's in mini camp,

554
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: but that he will be a full goal for a

555
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: training camp. So as long as he recovers as they expect,

556
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: he will effectively escape the pupp list to start training camp,

557
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: which is going to be huge because he's going to

558
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: be looked at to be a young guy who takes

559
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: a huge step forward as an outside line becker in

560
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: this new three four for Christian Parker. Also, I'm forgetting

561
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: yeahs Rouncle Maris marys lea Foul so Ein Schottenheimer made

562
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: an official the day prior. Kyl and I were speaking

563
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: to the new inside linebackers coach, Scott Simon's and he

564
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: dropped this nugget, which, like I said, was confirmed by

565
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: Shotty twenty four hours later. Marris lea Foul is no

566
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: longer inside linebacker for the Cowboys. He is now an

567
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: edge rusher outside linebacker. He's going to be working with

568
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: Shanero Uzzo Deribay exclusively. I'm not going to be sending

569
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: any work with Scott Simon. Simon's going to focus on

570
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: Shamar James demarionover shown and he said Justin Barron. I

571
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: believe Simon said Justin Barron was an option there as well.

572
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: But they're they're going to look to add an in sidelinebacker,

573
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: be it in the free agency of the draft. But

574
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: Mary Sleafoul is now an edge rusher. He is going

575
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: to have to bulk up. It's going to have to

576
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: put on weight. That's one of the transition things. I

577
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: talked to Christian Parker on Friday. I believe Nicole and

578
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: I did. One of the questions I asked him directly

579
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: and shoddy as well. I said, tell me the challenges

580
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: and the transition planned for Marris lea foul boking up

581
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: and as far as hand placement, learning how to rush

582
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: the passer, the guys have resources, guys like the Marcus

583
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: ware who rushed as a three four guy as if

584
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: that was going to be an option. So both of

585
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: them pretty much were in lockstep in that he needs

586
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: to boke up. But one thing Christian.

587
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 5: Parkers, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, ohit, sorry,

588
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say.

589
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: One thing Christian Parker said that stood out is that

590
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: this isn't new to uh to merist. He pointed out

591
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: how he was Sam at Notre Dame and that he's

592
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: rushed off theirs before as a stand up guy the NFL.

593
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, not at the level a little bit different.

594
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: The challenge is that the ability is there, the length

595
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: is there, the mass is not there yet. The hand

596
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: technique is not there yet, and that is more concerning

597
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: to me than the mass you can put on the muscle, right,

598
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: but learning yeah, but learning how to defeat offensive tackles

599
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: in a phone booth, so to speak, versus having a

600
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: five yard running start that's going to be diff that.

601
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 6: On top of everything that he's going to be required

602
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 6: to do on special teams.

603
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: I don't know.

604
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be really tough off season for Maris,

605
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 6: but I.

606
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Have Oh, he's going to have a off season to.

607
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 6: I have concerns for Maris, but ultimately I wanted to

608
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 6: go our way.

609
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Of course, this it sucks, bron Listen, I'm not saying

610
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: it sucks because it's an opportunity, right, So you're blessed

611
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to play in this league. But

612
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: it sucks from a standpoint of putting on weight when

613
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 1: your number one asset is your speed, it sucks. Right,

614
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to put on twenty pounds and I

615
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: don't know how many people have put on twenty pounds.

616
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot on vacation, hey, fifteen to twenty pounds.

617
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: It's a lot of muscle because your calling car has

618
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: always been your quickness and has always been your speed

619
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: and your expilsiveness, right, Like that's his thing. Right, When

620
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: you have to put on that weight, not only are

621
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: you naturally taking away from all those things that have

622
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: been assets from you, you have to work to try

623
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: to maintained that speed, maintain that explosiveness, but now you're

624
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: adding extra stress on your body's ligaments that your body

625
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: has not become accustomed to. Right you Also, if it

626
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work out for you, if it does not work

627
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: out for you here, now you're out of size how

628
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: to position for any other opportunity that might might have

629
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: presented itself. Right, So it sucks in that regard. That's

630
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: when I say it sucks. That's what I mean. Like

631
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: it's literally chips all in Hopefully you don't get hurt

632
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: type of situation here in Dallas. And if it doesn't

633
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: work out for you in Dallas, now you're in a

634
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: position where I have to now lose twenty pounds, lose

635
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty pounds to get back to who I

636
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: was before. It's just it's just ring around the rosie

637
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: situation that people don't necessarily think of. I know he's

638
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: not going to complain about it. He's going to take

639
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: it and say, hey, this is my challenge. I accept it,

640
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: but understand what it is when systems change and you

641
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: don't necessarily fit that system's personnel. We talked about it here.

642
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: For God like him is going to have a tremendous

643
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: impact on the effectiveness that they can have and may

644
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: have here in Dallas. And you bring up special teams, well,

645
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: what does he do on special teams? He's a freaking

646
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: lightning bottle, right, So now all of a sudden he

647
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: puts on fifteen twenty pounds. Is he the same effectiveness

648
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: on all special teams? Probably not right, So I mean

649
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: what it effects not only just his position, but affects

650
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: everything that he does. And I tell you it's it's

651
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: going to be the first major test for outside linebackers

652
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: coach Uzo de Reba. Of course at Georgia. This is

653
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: a guy who coached a guy like Michael Williams into

654
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: being a first round pick last year. So I mean

655
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: he has the ability to absolutely get marriage at least

656
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: in year one. Maybe serviceable, That would be my expectations.

657
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Try to get him serviceable in year one based on

658
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: where his starting point is coming from, a true inside

659
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: linebacker who needs to put on, you know, twenty plus

660
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: pounds and needs to get hand technique of things. Now,

661
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: I just need him to be at least serviceable. But

662
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it's a huge first test for Uzo and you know,

663
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: and speaking with Uzoh, he's up to the task. And

664
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that he's up to the task.

665
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: We're not. Yeah, can I say it?

666
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: No?

667
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Okay, but but go dogs. But I'm not. But I'm

668
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: not going to objectively sit here and say that Isaiah

669
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: is wrong at any of his points. There is a

670
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: lot that is going to go into this transition and

671
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: not a lot has to go right. What we do

672
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: know is marriage is high football. Like you, his work

673
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: ethic is through the roof. He's going to give it

674
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: his all and just have to see where it lands. Now,

675
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 1: if it does work out for him, which we all

676
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: hope it does, then it also works out for him

677
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: in the bank is where his edge rushers get paid

678
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: more than absolutely. But I also say, I mean, and

679
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: people might take this the wrong way, but it's the reality. Genetically,

680
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: he has an advantage talking about just.

681
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 5: Just built muscle.

682
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: Well what I'm saying, yeah, I mean being a Polynesian,

683
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: he has the ability to put on masks faster than

684
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: other people do it. But I would say Polynesians, I

685
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: would say Nigerians. There are certain people based upon your

686
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: and some of the German cats that I play with. Right, Genetically,

687
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: you're more opt to be able to put that weight

688
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: on struggle. That's just fast, right, so that he does

689
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: have that to as advantage.

690
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 5: I didn't know that was the thing.

691
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Oh heck, yeah, I got to look up to science.

692
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, typically some big bull I know,

693
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: I've seen it.

694
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've called you trinity, and that's happened in Baltimore

695
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 3: Ravens game.

696
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 5: It's been a couple of areas. All right. I've got

697
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: a bracket for everybody. It's March. It's March Madness. We're

698
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: gonna rank the number one need for the Dallas Cowboys.

699
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: But we gotta go single elimination all the way down,

700
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: and then when we get to the semi finals.

701
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: We're gonna have a double elimination. We have to be unanimous.

702
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

703
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: So there's a debate that will ray John and we

704
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: will fill out this bracket. It's got to be unanimous.

705
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: Some of these early ones will be unanimous.

706
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: But then I think when we get to the semi finals,

707
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 5: things are gonna.

708
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: Get a little bit crazy. Okay, Okay, that's off the table.

709
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: Here are the positions that are off the table. Kicker

710
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: is one Brandon Aubre. You're sticking around, You're gonna be

711
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: here dog like quarterback, running back and interior to five

712
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: of line. And the reason why I do that is

713
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: because you've got Dak Prescott. You just resigned Jvante Williams.

714
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: We believe in Javante. It's the most recent acquisition. So

715
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: let's just take it off the table for now. And

716
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: then so is interior defensive line. I think they've made

717
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: the acquisition. You're okay there, traded for Kenny Clark, traded

718
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: for Quinn Williams. Phil, you could totally add one more.

719
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 3: That's not the point. The point is number one need

720
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: and we're gonna try and get there. These are eight

721
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: seated positions. Game one, linebacker and tight end. Go linebacker, linebacker, linebacker.

722
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good one. Moving on tackle versus safety

723
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: is sure?

724
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: Oh wait do you do?

725
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: You do you disagree with the number one?

726
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 6: No?

727
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: No, that's just the first that's the first thing that's.

728
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 5: Between the two are so you agree? So tight ends?

729
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay?

730
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 5: Tackle and safety is game two?

731
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: Safe? Safety, safety?

732
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: Safe?

733
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Three on one Coyle safe you lost.

734
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 5: I will say safety, but I don't think it's that

735
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: cut and dry.

736
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: It's I think have some options at tackle.

737
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 5: That's probably the hardest first round.

738
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: They don't have the options that safety to move around.

739
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: They just they have You've got some options at time,

740
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

741
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought you mean like to grasp what I

742
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 3: said safety in the feats tackle, and I agree.

743
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 5: You don't have the guys there.

744
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: You need a safety, especially for this defense and what

745
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: you're trying to build with Christian Parker completely understand, and

746
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 3: I'm okay with putting them in through to the next round.

747
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 5: Wide receiver and edge rusher.

748
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: This is the three six that's not even close and

749
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: really quick to the chat. We're not saying there's just

750
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: the guy opposite Azrakl. We're saying he's a guy they're

751
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: putting in the chart. So yeah, you still need to

752
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: add a guy. They're just telling him so he had

753
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: time right now, they're telling him where you're not going

754
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: to be, right, We know where you're not going to be,

755
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: So we're not going to waste your time with this.

756
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: This is going to be your position. Do what you

757
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: need to do to be prepared to play that position.

758
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right.

759
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 3: The two versus the seven seed corner and interior if

760
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: or interior offensive line.

761
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: Corner that's an easy one. So there's the first round.

762
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So your five need is offensive tackle, your six

763
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: need is wide receiver, your seven need is interior offensive line,

764
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: and your eight need is tight end.

765
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 5: You feel pretty good about.

766
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: Those, Chris.

767
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 6: If you could put the bracket on screen, yeah, can you.

768
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 5: Just throw that up there forrest? Beamer?

769
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, dude. I made this in the middle of

770
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: the last brow like, what the hell's going on? Peamer's like,

771
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 3: what graphic?

772
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Uh?

773
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 5: Game five?

774
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: This is the first semi final, and this is where

775
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 3: things are gonna get dicey linebacker and safety linebacker. I

776
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 3: still think linebackers number one in that need. Yes, I

777
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 3: think I'm there too, so maybe not.

778
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 5: As dicey as I thought.

779
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: But I am going to move safety into a consolation

780
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 3: bracket for like the third place game, like they do

781
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 3: in soccer. So it's gonna be down there and we'll

782
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: talk about safety here in a second. Edge and corner

783
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 3: is yeah. Okay, so this isn't really a super debatable

784
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: topic at this point. But I'm also gonna throw a

785
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: corner and safety into the console bracket, which is where

786
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: we are now. So you got safety versus corner who's

787
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: the number three?

788
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Need safety? Safe?

789
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: No, number three over corner corner safety is corner safety.

790
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 6: I think I'm going corner.

791
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: Well, here's the debate you were looking for.

792
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's there's a debate. Why do you say safety?

793
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: I say safety because you need you need a captain, bactor,

794
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: you need a commander.

795
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 5: Okay.

796
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: I think you currently versatility of being able to play

797
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: back and play up.

798
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: Okay, I think I'm going to change to safety. Yeah

799
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 6: because No, genuinely, because I think you have some pieces

800
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 6: there at corner that you can rely on and hopefully

801
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 6: a year or two jump improves that whole scenario for you.

802
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 6: I think you don't have any answers currently at safety.

803
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 6: You don't have a lot of uh, you don't have

804
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: the same bodies that you had now as you did

805
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 6: last year because of free agency and how that's going

806
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 6: to turn out. We don't know how it's going to

807
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 6: turn out. But at least right now, I don't think

808
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 6: there's an identity there at safety that you can really

809
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 6: rely on that needs to be completely there's overhaul.

810
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: There's not a safety that you be safe without a

811
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: shoutout of a doubt. That's my guy. No, there's a

812
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: corner with a shadow.

813
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 6: There are two of them.

814
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you hurt? Okay, So we talked about reliable.

815
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: He said, it's not a reliable option safety. I don't

816
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: know if there's a reliable option a corner.

817
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: I would love to say that Darron Blane get back

818
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: back to prime form. I would love to say he'll

819
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: be durable. He might had consistent issues with that foot.

820
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 5: That is.

821
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: Don't disagree now, so as we have this conversation, because

822
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: Kyle rightfully so he likes to point out the date

823
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: that we're having this conversation. So March third, twenty twenty six.

824
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: Dron Bland has durability issues with that foot as a cornerback.

825
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: I agree that is concerned. That is Savonevel has yet

826
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: to have a full off season that we've seen the potential,

827
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: especially under Christian Parker and Ryan Smith and Derek Anstley.

828
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: The potential is there, but hope is not a strategy. Okay,

829
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: So we're hoping Revel can get a year or two jump.

830
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: We're hoping de Ron Bland can stay durable. Ready Stewart's exclusive, right,

831
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: So let's say they keep Ready in the building. But

832
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: at corner, what else are you really working with at safety?

833
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: Who's your cover safety? Thank you? No, no, no, I'm

834
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: not No, I'm in the corner. I'm trying to figure

835
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: out if pick anybody can try. I'm trying to figure

836
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: out up and cover the safeties. I need somebody to

837
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: walk up and put their hands on the tight end.

838
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: Elijah Clark till hit you. We'll see you got to.

839
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: I have concerns about one year Thomas that safety as well,

840
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: because the migraines. We need to know that the migraines

841
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: are behind him, you know. And he's a restricted free agent.

842
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: So here you negotiate with other teams as well, and

843
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can match that offer. But we're not saying

844
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: safety is not a top need. Oh, I know you

845
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: put that. That's the part actually in the bracket when

846
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: you put safety versus corner bag. I also do think

847
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: they do wrong. But what's making it harder on the

848
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: safeties is that your cornerbacks have been struggling, right, So

849
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: the guys are getting past your cornerbacks, and now your

850
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: safeties don't pass rush to strap what's going on. And

851
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: now it's too late because now it's like, no matter

852
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: what hurts, but my thing is like, no matter what

853
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: safety you name, you're you're not. You're gonna have bubble

854
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: guts about them. That's that's my thing. There's not one

855
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: safe that you can name that you say I feel

856
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: good about them.

857
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 5: I feel the same about corner. That's that's what I'm saying.

858
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 5: And that's what that's where there's a spo even when healthy.

859
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Understand you guys are looking at

860
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: the injury when healthy position group versus position group. Yeah,

861
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: I have bubble guts about the safeties, you know what.

862
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: I see what you're saying here, and I agree with

863
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: that factor. But in my head, I'm thinking I would

864
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 3: rather have healthy bodies.

865
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: Then absolutely, I would rather have your safety cover And

866
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: also shouts out they play man. Can they play his

867
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: own No?

868
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 7: Probably not, But it's it's understand some saying, so what

869
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 7: are your safeties doing that you guys feel good about

870
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 7: not selecting them?

871
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Number one, as it stands right now, you have your

872
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: two starting corners, two starting boundary corners as we speak

873
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: in this conversation right now, can your backup guys aboudy ability?

874
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Can your backup guys plays own defense? Your corners name

875
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: me backup corners. Don't I'm saying a bad about Ready

876
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: Stewart out there. I mean, you got alive out there,

877
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: you got Kevin Carson, All those guys can play zone.

878
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: I could teach those guys to play his own. Can

879
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: you teach the safety that it plays on? Didn't you

880
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: want to move Stewart to safety to safety? Absolutely? But

881
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: right now, as of right now, he's a corner as

882
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: we sit on right now. Yeah, yeah, you know what

883
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. There is no safety that you feel confident

884
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: putting on the field and saying play ball. Get a

885
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: man or zone? All right.

886
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: So here's how we're going to settle this. Since we're

887
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 3: split in the table to to in the chat, give

888
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: us your vote safety corner, Which is the biggest need

889
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: safety or corner? I'll decide that on the other side

890
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: of the break will count up the votes when we

891
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: come back the championship. Who is the biggest need linebacker

892
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: or edge rusher?

893
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 5: And are they kind of one and the same. When

894
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,120

942
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeoman's all right,

943
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: we have our official count. I am stopping the votes

944
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: by a score of fourteen to six. Safety moves on.

945
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't disagree.

946
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: I really do not nothing, John Snow.

947
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 3: I think safety is a massive need, and I agree

948
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: with every point that you make. I think, just for myself,

949
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: I think corner is such a question mark, and.

950
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: I think it's close. Yeah, you know, you know how

951
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: I feel about corners. You gotta have some corners, but

952
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: at least have some guys that you can say, okay,

953
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: go out there, plays on, right, Like, at the very least,

954
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: plays on. I know you can't cut, I know you

955
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: can't get out the break all just plays on. Just

956
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: sit there in your little five yard box. Safeties or

957
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: don't they don't have that. They don't have a five

958
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: yard box. They got to cover a lot more than that, right.

959
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: So these guys that you saw this past year, it

960
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: was told me on Friday he was like cornerback though

961
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: he was like there's no Wi Fi. Yeah, he's like,

962
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: you're on an island.

963
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 6: So yeah, question though, and this kind of a loose

964
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 6: to what you said earlier about safety is not being

965
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 6: a big asset and free agency currently like, yeah, there's

966
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 6: not a it's so is it something to where you

967
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 6: can a lot of the middle of the pass a

968
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 6: corner and free agency and then wait for the draft

969
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 6: for safety?

970
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, absolutely, safety.

971
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 6: It's kind of a blanket, say, because we don't know

972
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 6: who's going to be available to.

973
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: Pick the I don't think they're gonna wait for the

974
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: draft for safety.

975
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to get somebody.

976
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll grab a safety and they think they'll

977
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: grab their safety before that dot com dot com yesterday

978
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: literally my open market series focused on safeties. I have

979
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: several safeties that you, guys and gals, I want to

980
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: take a look at. What I'm saying is this crop

981
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: of free agency safeties there's maybe one that's above and

982
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: beyond two tops. The rest are all kind of conglomerated

983
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: into the middle. I think I think they grab you

984
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: will kind of like in the seven million dollar range.

985
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: I think they grab one of those in free agency. Yeah,

986
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: I think we all know the one that they're most

987
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: likely going to. We feel like this, who is that rap?

988
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: And then they're I think they're gonna draft one. I'm

989
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: trying to read between your lunes. Is there one that's

990
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think they're then the draft one?

991
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 5: All right, we got a championship game. Yeah, we gotta

992
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 5: go linebacker and edge edge?

993
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: Well, what do you lie outside or backer?

994
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 5: That's that's my question. Linebacker, linebacker, linebacker, line backer.

995
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: That kind of outsounds both now right outside line, Yeah,

996
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of both.

997
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 5: It kind of now, it's kind of one.

998
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: No, put inside linebacker, outside inside, it's like bugs and

999
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: daff dunk season, rapid season outside linebacker. If you don't

1000
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: you you could not. Who's your commander in chief? Who's

1001
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: your commandal chief on the edge? I understand that, But

1002
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: to that point, is it more you who's your green dot?

1003
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: Who's who's your guy that they're scheming against on the edge?

1004
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: As we have this conversation March third, twenty twenty six.

1005
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Rushing the passer, getting home not just pressuring pressures are great,

1006
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: but also getting home against the passer, which is something

1007
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys struggled mightily to do. That is going to

1008
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: dictate how your linebackers can play, how your corners can play,

1009
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: how your safeties can play. And right now you have

1010
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: a high upside guy in Donovan Nezraku who's coming off

1011
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: of laboring surgery. You have a guy in Mary Cliophile

1012
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: that you need to transition to a whole new position.

1013
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: And then hear what else you got? I agree, I

1014
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: agree how the personnel, the lack of personnel's outside line,

1015
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: but at least an inside linebacker. You got a promising

1016
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: guy Shamar James tomorrow and overshowing if he remains available, kaboom,

1017
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: and then you can mix in a guy like Justin Barron,

1018
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: and then you can still address the position. You were

1019
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: just talking about it after the quarters.

1020
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 6: You were just talking about health issues on the cornerbacks

1021
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 6: and how that would make it a bigger need. You

1022
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 6: don't have a solidified the Marvin overshown as far as you.

1023
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: Know, that's right, okay, So using that logic, let's pluck

1024
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: him out and I still say it.

1025
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, Ve shows coming off of hip surgery to mar.

1026
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: No breaking.

1027
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 5: I promise that's not I meant, Donovan.

1028
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: There you go, I do.

1029
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 9: I can get.

1030
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: Shown out. But then that's a wash by the fact

1031
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: that as Rock was coming off of labor surgery. So

1032
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: I know we gotta get out. I will get on

1033
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: board with Edge, but I believe wholeheartedly that the first

1034
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: person that we signed will be a middle linebacker.

1035
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 5: I'm okay with that.

1036
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 6: Yes, I was literally just about to say that, like,

1037
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 6: I think the priority is going to be linebacker in

1038
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,479
Speaker 6: free agency and not edge.

1039
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: And then take a trip to Miami for your edge rusher.

1040
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: Now we're cooking, we're Vegas.

1041
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 5: All right. That does it for us? Here on talking

1042
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 5: lots of fun. Our bracket is filled out. So is

1043
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 5: it Edge? Is that the winner? Edge? Edge wins? Did

1044
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 5: you have line look at come on over?

1045
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: Sure?

1046
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 5: Okay, so edge wins.

1047
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 3: So it's edge linebacker's your safety, corner, offensive tackle, wide receiver, interior,

1048
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 3: offensive line, tight end. That's how it filled out. I

1049
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: hope you had fun with it. It's March madness. We'll

1050
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: be back next week. It'll be one day after the

1051
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: legal tampers.

1052
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's.

1053
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 3: All right for Patrick No see Walker, Josh Rodriguez for

1054
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 3: Isaiah stand back.

Speaker 5: I'm Kyle Yomas for Chris Beham in the back. We'll
