Catch him off guard? 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.279 The chat is blowing up about the meat stick. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.159 Should think it's very I said nothing. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.360 If he wants to say it sponsored Dallas Cowboy. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.720 Yeah, sorry, until then you get the beef stick Kyle's 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:42.400 favorite snack. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.559 Can we, for the love of God get in the news? 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.159 And Patrick talking cowboys starts to nine oh four, Baby. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:05:02.960 We can't you see? Then you get oh, we are 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.120 so back. You can't give us a Tuesday off now. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:12.320 So first and foremos news and notes, since this is 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.440 not much reporting from the injury front, so we'll just 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.120 lead with that and we'll then we'll get to the 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.000 to the dramas. It's a good thing yet because one 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.400 of the people that you're concerned about is Quinn Williams. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.320 So Quinn Williams and Hunter lip Key both are in 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.960 concussion protocol. I know it should clap stopped. Okay, they 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.279 are both in concussion protocol. Suffered a concussion and the 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.520 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Brian Schottenheimer when asked about 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.359 it the next day, he confirmed that they were still 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.920 in protocol. We don't know as of yet if they 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.520 will practice this week or today today being Wednesday, the 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.320 first day for practice to prep for the Los Angeles Chargers. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.120 There's obviously a chance that neither take the field. The 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.520 biggest of the two hits, if they can't take the field, 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.760 will be obviously Quentinn Williams. So we'll see, just like 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.960 Ceede Lamb last week, because your protocol is its own thing, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.680 so you know, optimism, We just we don't know yet. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.080 We don't know yet, so we'll see. So that's really 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.840 on the injury front, those are the only two guys 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.920 that really came out. So john S Williams, he was 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.240 dealing with the shoulder injury, but there was subscribed as 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.359 a stinger, and that's why it took a while for 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.000 him to get back into the game. They were waiting 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.919 for it to kind of calm down, so to speak, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.920 and eventually it did. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.120 He went back out there and was. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:27.599 A case by case basis. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.960 Stay yeah, but he went back up and he played 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.520 very well. I don't anticipate it's probably something if he 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.480 has some residual effects from it, it might impact him 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.160 practice wise this week. I don't see it keeping him 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.920 out of the game on Sunday, but something to. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:41.479 Keep an eye on. 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.880 But those are the top three guys that you're looking 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:44.880 at from an injury front. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.120 I mean talking about Randy Macha Man then got to 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.520 lead into the stinger of course. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:59.479 Oh I also forgot did you get that reference there? Goodness, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.840 I was trying to move on to oh, and we 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:04.560 got about that. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.640 I see if popped up head. We'll see if Tyler 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.840 Guyton makes any progress this week. You know they're they're 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.880 speaking optimistically about that. I will say that I spoke 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.000 with Tyler Guyton, and I've been speaking with him. 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.800 Throughout the eye, throughout. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.520 This process, and as it's been described to me, he 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.560 has he's just he's working through it. He'll have a 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.160 couple of good days and then he'll have a day 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.960 where it's just really flaring up on him. The ankle 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.680 Spram speaking of so we'll see if he makes any 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.040 progress this week and he can get back on the field. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.440 To that point, we'll see if Nate Thomas can get 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.440 back on the field. Nate Thomas left the game with 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.680 injury as well. So today's injury report, you have Quentin 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.480 Williams as the headliner, Tyler Guyton. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:48.920 We'll see if he can make progress. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.680 And then you got a hundred lipkin concussion protocol and 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.480 we'll see if Vonte Williams does much in practice at all. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.080 I rescind clap. I told you to hold off on 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.320 that once you've got it. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.440 No, I recent to dessert. I don't like that. I 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:03.760 don't's not that easy to get rid of it. I 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.560 don't like that report. I don't want to taint it. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:11.040 So yeah, speaking of injuries, Trayvon. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.280 Diggs, hmmm, so let's talk about it. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.400 Let's talk about it, man. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.760 I was I was Beamer had the sounder and we 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.560 could use it for Like the Young and the Restless 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.960 theme song, because oh yeah, this is just a soap opera. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.840 Man like Young and a Restless Guy and light Bolting 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:27.560 the Beautiful. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.640 It's all of that. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:28.960 Man. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.880 The first thing I was surprised about post game because 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.199 of course we're doing our pregame or our postgame coverage 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.199 outside of the locker room as the locker room interviews 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.120 were going on. So I had no idea who was speaking, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.200 and I never do who is speaking in the locker 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.200 room because that's what the rest of the media team 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.240 is doing while we're on TV. I got home, sat down, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.439 rewatched the game, and as I was rewatching the game, 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.840 I was looking up like sound bites and quotes and whatever. 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.600 Trayvon Digs popped up. He spoke after the game, Yes, 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.520 which is wild for a guy coming off of IR 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:09.880 that of course has been ridiculed and criticized for not 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.640 being available. He was available to the media, which I 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.240 thought was after a loss, after a loss, which was weird. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.000 So that's that's one of the elements of the soap 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.319 opera that I just found, like a little. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.920 Pretty quick recap of the past of the past week, 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.160 past two weeks, let's just say past two weeks. So 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:32.080 Trevon Diggs began his practice window on November thirtieth, just 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.720 ahead of the Thursday night game against the Detroit Lions. 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.760 He did not play, even though all sciences were that 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.720 he would. It was said after the game that it 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.760 was a game time decision. Okay, if it was a 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.160 game time decision against Detroit, should have been better odds 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.840 to take the thing against the Minnesota Do Daesolta Vikings 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:50.520 right or what injury? 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:50.800 Again? 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.600 The knee allegedly, so going into the game against the 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.200 Minnesota Vikings, we the media spoke with Trevalon Diggs was 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.040 ahead and then well, first it was the concussion, and 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.959 then it was then it became the knee and then 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.360 the shoulder bones connected to the ankle bone. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.400 Just just trying to follow them. Yeah, yeah, stop because 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:12.400 just stop falling. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.760 You know, it's because he want to I R for 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.840 the concussion. No, no, you want to I R for 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.160 the knee. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, So Trevon did, said 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.320 Treyvon Diggs said last week and I quote, I'm ready. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.480 And then he was asked, is there a reason that 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.720 he has hadn't at that time yet been activated to 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.360 the fifty three man roster. His response was, you got soldiers, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.160 You got to ask them. So then we told him, 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.280 we said we we did ask them. He said, well, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.600 what they say and we told him that they said, 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.040 we'll see and now we're asking you and he said, well, okay, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.120 And then he was asked the question by does he 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.120 want to remain in Dallas and he said absolutely, I 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.040 love it here in Dallas. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.040 You know, so forth and so on. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.160 Now, fast forward to Sunday's game, and he's made an 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.800 active a little bit of a shock there. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.480 Okay, Fast forward to the end of that game. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.880 Now you have Jerry Jones, owner general manager of the 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:14.040 Dallas Cowboys saying saying, and I quote, he isn't healthy enough. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.840 A little bit of a discrepancy there. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:22.120 Between the player saying that he's good, player saying he's good. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.200 Multiple times, doubled down on it. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.360 Yeah, triple even about what I will say. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:34.560 Also, what makes this even more strange is Schottenheimer going 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.920 into the Lion's game, Going into the Vikings game, he 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:43.000 never wants specified health was an issue. He said words 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.959 like consistency was needed. He said that, you know, he 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:51.240 needed to see certain things standard wise throughout the totality 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:56.200 of practice. But he never said health okay, which led 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.120 us all to believe, rightfully so that Trayvon Diggs is 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.640 right in saying that he's ready and he's healthy. But 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.360 maybe it was a culture thing, and Shoddy was saying, 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.280 we need to see this and this and this from you. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.439 Okay, So I say that. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.920 To add color to the commentary of Jerry Jones blatantly 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.080 saying he isn't healthy enough. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:16.520 Okay. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.319 That happened almost simultaneously with Trayvon Diggs in the locker 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.920 room saying the following. From the first conversation that we 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.640 he and Brian Schottenheimer had, it was it was about practice. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.480 I guess I wasn't showing them what they wanted to 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.760 see in practice. This week, I showed them what they 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.040 wanted to see in practice, and it's still the same result. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.040 I don't know what else I need to do or 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.040 what to show. At this point, I feel like it's 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.280 not even up to me or what I do. It's 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.200 really up to them and what they want to do. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.439 I'm just showing up every day and going to work. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:51.040 Hmm. 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:52.600 Okay. 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:55.480 Somebody's not happy with somebody. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.400 Somebody's not happy with somebody, and that's where we are. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.520 We're hearing two sides of the same story, but they're 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.960 sounding wildly different. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.640 But they're different currencies. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:12.640 The same coin in different languages. It's been Yeah, it's 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:18.440 just been a complete disconnect from what it had been previously, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.000 which is not un like that's not new news. We've 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.160 kind of talked about this over the last few weeks. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.520 This relationship has not been perfect since the os Is 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.600 Isaiah went into it a little bit a couple days back. 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.440 So where do we go from here? It's it's up 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:36.679 to this weekend. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.839 Right, they have to activate him to IR before some 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.640 or he's done or he's done. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.720 For the for the t minus four days until the 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.920 conclusion of this story most likely. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.199 Maybe let's go around the table. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:48.439 Huh. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.240 How many people think that he's going to be playing No? 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.400 Yeah, yeah, this is a slow breakup. Yeah, I'll spa spain. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.520 I told you guys, when when Micah got traded, what 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:00.000 did I say? 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.800 I said, who was put on notice? You said Diggs? 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.199 I said Diggs was put on notice? 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.360 Yeah, right, that was a he and others and others, right, 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.079 but specifically Dix, who was real tight. He was the 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.120 background dancer to Michael Parsons. Call it what it is, right, 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.960 you saw Micah, you saw you saw Trayvon Diggs in 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.640 the background of every interview. He was his hype man. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.360 It's Tito, right, I mean what it is. I mean, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.640 he's his own person, right, but he was he was 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.200 a he was a he was a voice in the background. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.120 He was noise in the background of the whole Mica 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.160 situation that was coupled on. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.120 That was on top of. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.800 All they were taking like interviews together. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.400 Yes, he was sig signing signing signs at at training 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.880 camp of people saying that pay Micah, Like, it was 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:45.200 a lot. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.640 It was a lot of extra going on. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.760 There are other things that we saw at training camp 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.720 in regards to Trayvon's. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.280 Lack of attentiveness. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.000 As well, I'll put it that way, that were very concerning, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:58.280 very concerning to me. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.600 And you missed all the off season workout, decided to 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.080 do his own thing. It was fine for that. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.080 It was as mad at getting fined for that. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.880 Got mad at getting fined for that, and I could 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.160 it was very black and white in his contract. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.120 Like and we said that on the show. It's like, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.520 why are you getting mad It's in the contract. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.320 There was one thing that I saw at training camp 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:19.760 that I told Kyle, I said, he needs personally not okay, 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.280 not okay, shouldn't probably shouldn't be a part of what's 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.840 going on this season from the one thing, the one 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:31.600 thing that I saw, I I not speculating, not that 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.240 I saw in regards to the disregard of commitment to 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.840 your to your team, to your organization, to your teammates. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.560 The disconnect was there at training camp. It's about third week. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.760 Of training camp, maybe somewhere unre was a second second week. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.520 Yes, I was like, yeah, they might want to they 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.200 might want to look at other options. Nothing against his plane, 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.080 all about whether or not he fits his culture. And 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.800 at that time I had I had great concerns and 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.680 it it's only gotten worse. It's only gotten worse. And 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.880 now you're in a position, you guys are the salary 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.520 cap masters. You're in a position whereas like, it only 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:17.479 makes sense now after June first, right, financially, after June first, financially, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.440 Now that's the best time if you're going to sever 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.080 this relationship, because I think they're only out well I 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.800 say only, I think they're out eight million this year, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.040 somewhere around there, eight something this year. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:29.200 I'm getting there. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.520 I mean his base is eighty five cap this year. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.480 You say this year mean twenty five or yes, twenty. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.400 Five, it's twelve mili yeah, so long point. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.880 But next year eight and a half is the guarante. Here, 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.960 eight and a half is a guarantee. Right, So when 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.560 they made the commitment to him this year, right and 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.240 decided to keep him on the roster for the season, 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.400 that's what they were committing to. Nothing guaranteed next year, 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:53.000 next year, nothing guarantee guaranteed, right, and post June first, 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.920 I think I think you save like additional five or 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.360 six million dollars on your cap. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.720 I'm spitballing sometimes like six million. 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.119 Because if you cut him pre June one, which would 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.800 be any time between now and then seventeen point three. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:08.800 You eat you eat that. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.159 So for those that got him, if you cut him 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.480 post it's eleven points exactly. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:13.879 So for those at home trying to figure out what 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.960 the heck is going on, like this is a slow breakup? 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.000 This is this is This is Isaiah standback telling you 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.280 guys that I perceive this to be a slow breakup. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.520 I can't say what it is. I just know that 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.080 I've seen this this story play out. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:25.880 But I agree with you. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.639 But I would argue that in most scenarios, when you 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.360 have a player like that where you've committed that much too, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.600 and you don't necessarily see the future in that player. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:35.480 You want to. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.240 See them contribute during the season. And granted, he got 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.480 into a situation where he had to go on IR 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.320 in the middle of the season, but before that it 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.399 wasn't looking great. And then now he's coming off of 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.080 IR and he's healthy, and you're basically saying, like, is 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.520 it worth paying him the extra games it would be 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.200 to activate him for the rest of the season or 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.640 just call it a day. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.120 I think that's crucial element to all of this, because 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.800 if Trayvon Diggs was playing like All Pro Pro Bowl 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.960 Trayvon Diggs, I think you deal with the attitude a 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.639 little bit. You deal with the drama or whatever it 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.959 ends up being, whatever their problem is, you deal with them. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.080 I'm not sure if this team would. I'm not sure 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:20.920 I understand what you guys are saying. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.600 To a certain extent, I think they would, especially in 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.040 a spot where they are at the cornerback position. Name 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.720 one other guy. We just went through the list of 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.080 the corners the other day and said, who's playing well, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.479 and nobody is playing well. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.160 I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying I think 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.200 that this regime is a little bit different. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.000 They're trying to set a precedent, and and it's been 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.720 set already. I think if his play was fine, this 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:40.639 would not be as big. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.280 A would the would definitely be more room more exactly 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:43.760 more of the. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.320 Will but playing in order for them to say you 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.800 can keep him not playing, in order for them to say, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.640 over the final three games of the season, oh, let's 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.600 throw him back out there, because we know he's going 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.240 to play well and it's worth putting him back out there. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.720 And and you've already heard from the front office and 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.920 the coaches after themselves, they feel like the guys they 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.120 have out there are just as good and just as 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.600 prepared as what he would be getting back out there. 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.359 So there's more of a risk than there is a 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.560 reward to put him back in the fold, because one 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.439 way or the other, you're probably done with him at 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:18.040 the end of the year. 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:19.840 Anyway, I just want to throw something out there because 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:21.960 I know if fans are probably proposing questions right now, 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:26.360 everybody is right, but scenario people are probably thinking, well, 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.680 why don't you play him? And if you are going 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.400 to part ways with him, at least you can build 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.680 up some equity and and some value. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.080 There so that you can trade them if he gets hurt. Exactly. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.440 So if he gets hurt, now you have to pay 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.879 him out for the amount of time that is going 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.199 to take him to get healthy. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.080 Yeah, that's the risk verse. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.120 Which we've seen already. There's a long line of injuries. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.399 They heard one and. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.560 I saw someone ask what the Cowboys consider trading him? 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.280 And during the draft that's when you possibly, if you're 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:58.800 going to do it, that's when you do it because 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.040 teams are most desperate to try to figure some things out. 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:02.920 And if they do it, if they make a trade 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.040 pre June first, they only eat five a little bit 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.120 under six million in dead money, but they save overall 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:10.240 twelve and a half mine. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:11.800 If you're any other team in the league, though, what 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.919 are you offering for Trayvon Diggs today? 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.560 To me, that's why you don't make the trade until 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:18.400 till the draft. 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:20.240 I'm talking draft. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.680 You might get a six or seventh out of them 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.320 in the draft. Maybe that's it at that point, I mean, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.880 that's all you're gonna get. Yeah, right now, I don't 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:31.960 think any of the thirty one teams would want because 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:33.480 they anticipate a cut. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:34.200 Yes, exactly. 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.639 The only reason a team would trade for them in 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.600 a spot like the draft, it would be because they 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.000 don't want to wait and see if there's a team 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.679 another one of the other thirty one teams that's going 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:43.960 to saw. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.840 They're a couple of teams who shall not be mentioned 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.200 here because I'm not going to do reverse tampering either. 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.000 But there are a couple of teams. Let's just say 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:57.360 they're up north and their rivals of each other, and 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.560 one will have a play standing on the table for him. 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.040 The other will have a coach standing on the table 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:05.080 form I'll. 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.600 Put it that way. Yeah, and really quickly before we 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:07.400 and why would. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.040 You talk about the Minnesota Vikings. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.200 Really quickly? All jokes. 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.160 Asad Melvin, I saw earlier in the chat you said 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.359 that your grandkids got into a car accident this mouse, 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.120 so he did say that I was monitoring.

They like 0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.880 to play zone, but they will have no problem matching 0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.760 you up in man. They're not that necessarily. Their cornerbacks 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:53.560 aren't necessarily world beaters in man coverage. But they are sticky. 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:55.920 They are sticky. They will stay in your hip pocket. 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:57.800 They are going to contest absolutely everything. 0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.000 The way they defended those Eagles received stuck out to me. 0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:03.920 Just two weeks ago Monday Night Football. They were all 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.520 all over it over them, and of course DeVante Smith 0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:10.480 and AJ Brown still had their fair share because they're 0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:11.280 going to beat these guys. 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:12.080 Yeah, you can beat them. 0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.720 Yeah, But man, it was consistent, even the windows. And 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.720 that's why Jalen Hurts had five turnovers at one game 0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.080 was because he was throwing in the tight windows the 0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:22.880 entire football game. 0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:23.880 And he didn't like to do that. 0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:26.080 No, nobody does. Nobody does. And that's the thing like 0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:28.320 these guys. They'll they'll blitz, but they're not like doing 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.240 no exiety blitz. They don't need they don't need to. 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.560 They usually bring four and if they do blitz, they'll 0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.880 bring one additional guy. They'll have a stand up linebacker. 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.040 You over your guard and he'll drop out. They'll bring 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.920 somebody on the outside. It's not like special right, you 0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:42.360 can pick it up. But they have so much trust 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.440 in their front line and they're off their Their defensive 0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:48.920 backs are so sticky in their defense that you run 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.840 out of time, and that's really what they count on 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:52.760 as the reason why they get so many interceptions. I 0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.280 mentioned that their cornerbacks aren't necessarily world beaters in terms 0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:57.960 of coverage, but they're not really getting beat over the 0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:01.520 top because they have help over the top. So very challenging. 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:03.880 Everything that you're going to do is going to be contested. Okay, 0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:05.600 how do you beat them? Run the ball? 0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:08.480 And I don't regardless of the fact that we have 0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:10.240 really good receivers run the ball. 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:12.440 If you'll remember, set Sakuan had a really good run 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:16.160 against them, catching them in poor run defense. That's something 0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.560 that obviously hopefully you can lean on. But again, dude, 0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:21.920 their pass rush uotit is insane. Yes, you talked about 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:26.480 Colomack already, you talked about Tully o'daffi, O way, goodness, 0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:27.480 he's been great, dude. 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:28.440 Yeah. Wow. 0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:32.160 The heart as well is up there too, top here. 0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:33.080 Yeah. 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.200 And o'daffi is a guy that they just rotate through. 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:37.400 Yeah, rocational guy. 0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:38.400 He rot the thing. 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.400 Here's what you really should be concerned with. Number one, 0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:45.680 everything as they have said, but the Cowboys offensive line. 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.280 They're coming off two weeks in which they've allowed a 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:51.640 combined forty one pressures. 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.240 Twenty and twenty one combined forty one pressures. 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:57.080 This is a Chargers defense that talk about the Chiefs, 0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:00.560 for example, they just recently played the Chiefs generated twenty 0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:01.600 one pressure. 0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:04.040 Yep, twenty one. And you want to know where seventeen 0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:08.320 of those pressures came from? Mac And well, it wasn't 0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:11.479 just one player. It was when they rushed four. Oh oh, 0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:14.640 you mean just when they rushed four they had seventeen 0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:15.880 of those twenty one pressures. 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:17.600 That doesn't seem like a lot, Kyle. 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.360 That's not a lot. Guys. They got one pressure when 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:25.920 they rushed three. Oh we're rushing three guys, getting that 0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:28.240 means two of your guys are getting double team and 0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:30.520 they're still getting a pressure. 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.520 One thing I forgot to throw out there. They have 0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.920 a safety that has been around the league since Jesus 0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:39.400 was born, and he has been there is somebody who's 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.240 been on a practice squad, he's been under active roster. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:44.680 This dude actually went to scouting, scouting and coaching, and 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.440 then he came back as a player. He's somebody who 0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.600 has killed us every single year in the preseason. 0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:48.800 Oh. 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.040 I was about to say, this is the preseason preseason 0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.320 freaking warrior. You think, oh, okay, he's just having good 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.960 preseason games. No, this dude has been around for I 0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:59.880 think twelve season or something. Crazy Tony Jefferson twenty three ballhawk. 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:01.920 It's really one of the best stories in the full. 0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.280 An amazing story. He definitely needs a movie written about him. 0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.160 He's overall ranked safety according to the PFF. 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.759 Yeah, screw Puff's ranking on that one. Don't throw the 0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:12.440 ball his way because he will pick it off. 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:13.120 That's a good ranking. 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:14.920 That's a pretty good ranking, I know, but they screw that. 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:18.279 I would not. He's a ball hawk and he will 0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.239 hit you. I think he just got ejected nineteen in 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:22.800 the league. I think he got ranking. 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:25.920 I think he got ejected from the last game, so 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.480 I'm not sure about his availability and hit on. 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:30.960 Bro I don't think it's a one. 0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:31.520 I don't think. 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:31.920 I don't think. 0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:33.319 I think I think he'll be a I think he's 0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:35.359 either way. Be aware if you're throwing the ball his way. 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.360 He literally has great ball instincts. It's not just in 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.000 the preseason because he's picked us off. I think every 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.320 year in the preseason played him. It's in the regular 0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:44.880 season's wild you. 0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:49.399 Have, man, Yeah, I just I can't stress enough. 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:54.120 Because we were talking about how tackle was uh a problem, 0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.600 A problem for lack of a better way to just 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:56.839 the same. 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:58.600 I was going to say something. I was gonna use 0:34:58.680 --> 0:34:59.960 the worst adjective. 0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:01.560 But okay, I'm trying to save you. 0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.399 That's fine because Bamer would have to just beep it out. 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:09.880 But yeah, and twenty one pressures. Twenty one is the 0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:12.759 Chiefs Cowboys have allowed forty one combined pressures over the 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.720 past two weeks. And then you talk about the edges 0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:19.080 so said his name again exactly, That's what it would 0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:19.480 have had to been. 0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:22.160 That's scared reverse I'm going to call. 0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:26.719 I'm not evenna try Lasts. I'm just gonna call him 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.680 to Tully also because he's a weapon to weapon. Two 0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:36.440 Khalil and Tooley generated eight and seven pressures respectively by 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.800 themselves against the chiefs. They are coming off of their edges. 0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.520 And you are in trouble if you cannot stop those guys. 0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.520 And the problem is is you have Terrence Steele. Now 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:49.040 he's struggling again after having a very good three game stretch. 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.319 He's struggling again on that side. On the opposite side, 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:53.160 you don't know if Tyler Guidan is available, and if 0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.400 he's not available, you don't know if Nate Thomas is available. 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.080 And the chemodenergy went out there and he got a 0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.160 holding penalty because he doesn't get a ton of reps. 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.640 You're in trouble. You're in big trouble. You're in really 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:02.200 big trouble. 0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:04.720 Caught me now. 0:36:07.120 --> 0:36:09.440 Two two nine seven.

It's Jeff Today. 0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:05.600 Today, Today's my official both day. And thank you, thank you, 0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:10.359 thank you with being a great talking to you guys. 0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:13.000 I wish the Cowboys were playing a little better. We 0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:15.239 got to go defense. In the draft, defense and more 0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:20.360 defense said it many times, it's defenses and our defensive coordinator. 0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:22.160 I feel like he definitely has to be I don't 0:39:22.160 --> 0:39:24.719 know if it's a scheme. We talk about it every week, 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.600 the same thing, like, I feel like we played good 0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.960 the last couple game. The couple games prior to Detroit, 0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:34.520 like to like now back to square one. 0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:40.080 Yeah, I appreciate the phone call, Mike, appreciate you listening, 0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:42.960 and of course happy birthday. I agree. That's what's frustrating 0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:45.120 to me is you thought this was a different team 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.400 following the trade deadline, and I think they're better than 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:50.920 they were pre trade them all. For sure, they're definitely 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.480 a better team, but they're not where you hoped they 0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:56.960 would go. And I think this is probably more of 0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.839 the realistic side of who they are now. Are they 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:01.960 better than what they were showing prior to the bye week? 0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:02.279 Yes? 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:07.920 Are they still a contender to possibly make the playoffs 0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.319 next year at the moment, I would say yes. Are 0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:14.760 they a Super Bowl contender? Absolutely not. There's a difference 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:18.040 between all of that. So I agree with Mike. That's 0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:20.759 where the frustration lies for me. Is you fix one 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:22.480 thing and then another thing pops up. It's like an 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:25.080 old car, you know, like you're fixing one thing and 0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.560 then your transmission goes out, and then your transmissions fixed, 0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.759 and then I know, I'm a little upset about this, 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.040 And then your tire goes down and then you can 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:33.759 fix that, and then your AC goes out like it's 0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:37.520 just all of those different elements and you're still kind 0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.040 of right back where you were initially. 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.239 Yeah, and that's I mean, fans have a right to 0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.400 be frustrated. I do agree, Cale, I do think this 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:46.160 team is better. 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:50.120 Yeah, it's just not good. It's just better than terrible 0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:51.560 it was. 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:54.160 I mean, the defense was terrible before the Bie week, 0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:56.200 and now it's better than terrible. 0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.719 Yeah, we can agree. It's just not good. Now can 0:40:58.840 --> 0:40:59.319 it be good? 0:40:59.440 --> 0:40:59.600 Yeah? 0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.879 Offseason and you make some you know, some changes, see 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:04.160 what you can get in free and not see what 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:07.280 you can get. Go get something in free agency. Handle 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:08.239 the draft the right way. 0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:12.240 I do disagree with saying it should be defense, defense, 0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:13.279 defense in the draft. 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.200 You're smart and you got some offense and some things 0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:17.680 that you need to fix. We just sat here and 0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:19.600 talked about the offensive line. I know people don't want 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.279 to talk about You don't want to use another first 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:21.920 round pick up. 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:23.000 Man, dude, what you gotta do. 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:24.360 Survive? 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:29.400 Survive, But the conversation has to be had, uh in 0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:32.560 the front office and with Brian Schottenheimer on Matt Eberflus. 0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:35.239 That's just the fact that you have to have that conversation. Now, 0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:38.960 whether you choose to continue with Matt Eberflus next year 0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.160 or you choose not to, it's still a conversation that 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:42.720 has behaved. 0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:48.080 If you continue with him, then you gotta the fact. 0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:52.480 A lot of this needs to be the thing that 0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:54.520 we need to see by this date and this date 0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:56.400 and this date has to be benchmarks that need to 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.319 be passed, because if he's not hearting those benchmarks, then 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:01.080 along those lines. 0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.279 The report from Bobby Belt, friend of the show one 0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:07.880 on five through the Fan, he said, they will evaluate 0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:10.880 Matt Eberflus. They haven't made a decision. They're not going 0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:13.160 to make a decision, but over these final three games, 0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:14.600 a lot of what they're going to look at over 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.719 these final three games is going to be how they 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:19.480 view his status. 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.040 Man, how much not the problem. He's not the only one. 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.239 They need to have a conversation about Nick Sawnson as well. 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:29.000 How much say do the players have in this? Do 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.480 you think there's a tallly of coaches reaching out to 0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:34.200 players to be like, you know, what where do you 0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:37.760 stand on where you are defensively scheme wise? 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.520 What do you think is right wrong? 0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:42.880 What could be improved? All of these things? Do you 0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:45.920 think the players have any sort of skin in the 0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:46.640 game when it comes to. 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:47.720 Do you ask on defense? 0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:49.600 That's that was exactly where I was heading. 0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:51.920 Well, the one who we've had a conversation, the one 0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.520 who was asked and answered he might not make it 0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:55.200 off of yore. 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.600 Yeah, but he never really showed that he was a 0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.480 I'm saying he was. He was as he was vocal 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.399 and aswered, but that doesn't mean he was a leader. 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.440 And he wasn't wrong because we all agreed with the 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.200 yeah because he was saying yeah, and that's all he said, 0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:13.200 and we agreed, and then you know, it happened, and 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:15.799 then it didn't happen again, and now we're right back 0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:19.280 here to secondary happened. I'm not necessarily sure past weekend 0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:24.200 we got torched. Well that person so yeah, yeah, I mean, 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:24.640 but he. 0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:28.080 Called it also, No, I was, I was like, you 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:29.759 know who you ask I mean, I think you asked 0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:32.200 your your players that you've invested in and you know 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:35.399 that you've seen play well. I mean, doron blame would 0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:38.719 be a question for me like probably how would you, uh, 0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:40.640 what would you want to see out of your defensive 0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:43.800 scheme currently and like of course, osa, of course Quentin Williams. 0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:46.640 Of course the guys that you believe in, right, Marvin 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.560 overshow I want to see what they're thinking is in 0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:53.600 terms of defensive coordinators, just to see what could be 0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:57.839 improved from their from their vantage point right, because they're 0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:59.439 seeing something on the field that's they. 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.200 See what is wrong. When there's a play that happens 0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:04.640 and they know who missed an assignment. Everybody knows. You 0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:06.399 see it on the film, you know what play was called. 0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:10.160 So yeah, I agree with you. I don't know how 0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.759 much say they have. I don't know if they have 0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:14.440 that such should that be the case. 0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:17.320 I think should be. I think that should be the conversation. 0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:19.920 I think that's what Dan did well. Yeah, that not 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:22.719 that Dan Quinn is perfect and that everything revolves back 0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.200 to him, but he's the last defensive coordinator here that 0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:28.920 had success consistently. He relied a lot on. 0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:29.680 The player input. 0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:33.439 Man, if I'm Shotingheimer number when I get paid paid 0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:35.319 a lot more. But if I'm shot Himer, I would 0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:38.879 absolutely tick and handle the situation in a way where 0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:41.680 I get into a room with all of my defensive guys, 0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:45.960 no defensive coaches, no position coaches, just you know, no coordinator. 0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:48.680 It's just me as the head coach in a room 0:44:48.920 --> 0:44:52.359 with the defensive guys and saying, speak freely, speaking mine. 0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:54.400 They may have already done that, don't Maybe that's what 0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:55.600 I mean, he could have. 0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:57.560 I'm just saying that I would hope that he would, 0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.239 because that's the way that you get the pure una 0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:03.600 dooter rated because at the moment, if you don't do that, 0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.560 then the players are probably going to speak through a filter, 0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:09.960 maybe right, because it's like, well, I don't really want 0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.440 to offend a really nice guy, right, that's what I mean, 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:15.879 really good, really good guy. But at the same time, 0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:19.960 you need you need the actual feedback. So I would 0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:22.240 just send them all down in the room defensive, unfiltered, 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:24.600 sit them down in the room, the defensive guys, just 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:27.080 them and the head coach, and say, hey, speak freely, 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:28.279 what do you think went wrong? 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:32.040 What would you have liked to see happened this season? 0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:33.560 What would you like to see going forward? 0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:35.520 And then as the head coach, you then take all 0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:37.880 of that back, and then you have a conversation with 0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:39.799 the front office, and you also allow that the color 0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:41.800 your conversation with Matt eber Flus, and of course you 0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:43.719 don't name names, but you say, well, some of the 0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:47.319 feedback I've been getting there's a trend toward this being 0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:51.480 something that the players had an issue with, this being 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.239 something like that. And then now how would you look 0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:57.880 to resolve it? Now it's a reinterview. I say, reinterview them, right, 0:45:58.000 --> 0:45:59.279 that's what it needs to be. You need to have 0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:02.120 the interview. It's all over again. Sell me on why 0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:04.759 you should get another shot here and again. This is 0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:06.360 not a knock to Ebaflus as a man. He is 0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:09.680 a very good human being to be around at Ebaflus. 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:11.200 Just to love him as a human, yeah, he's awesome. 0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:13.320 But as a coordinator, you've got questions. You got to 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.279 make tough decisions and go to culture. All right, shot 0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:18.200 he here's another conversation we got. 0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:20.400 Let's get to these two calls. I just want to 0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:22.160 get through him real quick. All right, Let's go to 0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.279 Hoodie Cush. What about Hoody Cush back on the top 0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:25.960 of the Cowboys platform. What up, dude? 0:46:26.560 --> 0:46:29.279 What's the deal? Gentlemen? I got two quick questions, one 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.480 from mister standback. I'll start with that one. You've been 0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:36.960 around the league, You've you've noodled and commiserated with a 0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:40.600 bunch of different coaches and coaching stams. What do you 0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:45.239 think about mister one, mister Antonio Piers as a defensive coordinator. 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:47.920 We can't talk about names. 0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:49.799 He's is he free? 0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:55.279 He's okay? If he's not right, I'm sorry. I don't 0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:59.919 know about AP's ability to lead internal in an entire unit. 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.279 I would have to ask more resources in regards to that. 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:03.560 I know he's a heck of a player. I know 0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:05.400 he became a head coach and interim head coach, and 0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:07.719 he became the head coach. Didn't work out well for him, 0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:11.320 so unfortunately. Yeah, so I'm not sure I would have 0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:12.200 to do more homework there. 0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:14.879 Okay, I'll get back to you on that one. We'll 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:20.319 talk about that all that. Second question, would you talking 0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:23.440 about draft season? Would you be more inclined to move 0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:24.359 back in the day too? 0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:26.279 Oh? 0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:28.279 Good question, Thanks, hooty coach. I appreciate you. 0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.480 No, stay with your chest, cat, no. 0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:36.160 Chick. 0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:38.640 It depends on what happens. It depends on what you've 0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:41.360 got there. If you're sitting there, Let's say the Packers 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.440 go on some sort of run. Let's say they go 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.560 and they've got twenty eight to twenty nine in the draft, right, 0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:50.200 and that's your second first round pick. Yeah, I probably 0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:52.480 think about it unless there's somebody there that you want 0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:54.719 to have a fifth year option on. I would take 0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:57.480 a couple extra picks, load back up on the trades 0:47:57.680 --> 0:47:59.480 that you'd make because you don't have a third round pick. 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:01.600 You don't don't have a fifth round pick, I don't believe, 0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:04.240 and so you get some cop picks in the middle 0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.719 of it. But if you trade from twenty nine or 0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:09.239 thirty back into the second round, you're going to pick 0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:12.920 up some significant capital there. So yeah, I would consider it, 0:48:13.040 --> 0:48:15.200 but I would rather if there's a guy there that 0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:17.759 I think is a dude and he's going to be 0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:21.319 a badass for you for five seasons, go just stick 0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:23.040 and pick the player. I'm cool with that too, because 0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:25.080 you've got two first round picks for the first time 0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:28.080 and what is it, thirteen years, fourteen years, something like that, 0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:30.279 and it's yeah, you might as well use it while 0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:30.879 you got a chance. 0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:32.800 If there's not a player there that's going to impact 0:48:32.840 --> 0:48:34.719 your team right here right now, I mean. 0:48:35.120 --> 0:48:36.480 Yeah, what do you doing, don't get cute? 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:37.399 Make the pick? 0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:40.359 Yeah, make the pick, and let's go all right, last 0:48:40.360 --> 0:48:43.759 one Cynthia and Laredo. What's going on? Cynthia, welcome back 0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:44.680 to Talking Cowboys. 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:50.640 Thank you, sweetie.
