Are you ready for a break? 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:18.240 Yes? 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.120 Are you ready for a break? 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:20.919 Absolutely? 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.239 Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that. 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.680 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.919 We were on Break with mbar Garcia. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.600 Brian brought us, Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.479 It is Tuesday, August twenty ninth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.760 episode number twenty two. Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:47.680 The Break. We are live from the s WBC Mortgage 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.640 Studios at the start. We got the full crew back 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.120 in today and it's a great day to have everybody 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.480 back at studio because today is cut down day. We're 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.280 going to be breaking that down for you guys. I 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.440 got my analysts here. They're going to tell you their 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.759 best thoughts on what we think will happen here when 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.040 the Cowboys have to make their final cuts to get 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.720 down to the final fifty three man roster. Before we 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.640 do that, though, Cowboys make a move last week since 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.200 the last time we had a show. They acquire quarterback 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.520 Trey Lance for a fourth round pick. Let's start first 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.720 with what do you guys think was the strategy behind this? 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.959 Because I think that's where most of the conversation on 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.200 this move has been. What do you think was the 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.080 Cowboys strategy in going out of spending a fourth round 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.679 pick to pick up a guy like Trey Lance. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:35.760 I think they're playing the long game. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.400 Obviously, when you look at Trey Lance, you have to 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.399 look at where he is right now versus what the 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.520 scope of what he might do coming in, Because if 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.440 you look at it right now, that's more realistic to 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.680 what the Cowboys plan is going to be. They're trying 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.120 to develop him as a backup quarterback at worst case. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.440 So worst case he's going to be your definitive backup 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.280 in the post Cooper Rush era, which could be as 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.880 early as twenty twenty four if Trey Lance develops quickly. 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.280 But I'm of the mindset and I'm of the understanding 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.160 and having these conversations. I know Brian has had him 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.720 as well. This move is in no way to leverage 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.480 against Dak Prescott that this is not that move. This 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.440 is something the Cowboys are looking at and saying, hey, 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.400 we're not going to pick up this guy's fifth year option. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.160 So it's a two year plan, try to develop him. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.360 If he turns into a definitive QB two, wonderful. You 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.880 gave up a fourth round pick for a definitive, definitive 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.480 developmental QB two. You've been trying to draft a development 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.280 guy for the past couple of years and you've not 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.600 done it. Best case is he develops well enough in 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.680 that you can maybe trade him in two years and 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.760 maybe you lose that fourth up front, but maybe you 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.040 get a third rounder if he can prove he can 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.639 be a capable NFL starter. So they played the long 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.440 game with Trey Lance, and the only problem I have 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.720 with it was just the compensation itself. The fourth rounder 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.560 was right there up against my herd line, which was 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.480 a fifth round pick. If you go back and listen 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.520 to what John Lynch said, what Shanahan said, they were 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.880 actually pleasantly surprised to get a fourth. But I know 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.600 the Cowboys are in a situation where they really wanted Trey, 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.880 and a couple of other teams came into the conversation. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.360 Maybe those other teams through Fiths on the table, Jerry 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.120 Steven and will and say hey, let's just get it done. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.480 Put a fourth on the table and here he is. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.720 Yeah, I worked for a general manager. They gave up 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.040 an extra one for Joey Gallaway when he really didn't 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.639 have to, just he wanted the player that badly. And 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.519 I think it goes back to how they saw Trey 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.600 Lance grade wise. You know, when you look at where 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.160 he's out on their board top of the second round, 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:29.200 you know that's The Cowboys have a history of not 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.160 tanking seasons to get high draft picks. And the way 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.080 to get your quarterback, maybe it's a franchise or a 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.920 future quarterback for a lot of teams is be poor. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.640 You have a bad season and pick in the top five. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.040 Cowboys aren't going to do that. And they have a 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.160 history of this. They have a history of not they 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.000 we have a history of of you know, you go 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.080 back to when Jerry got the team and the Steve Walsh, 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.800 the supplemental picks. You go back and you think about 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.600 Quincy Carter, you go back when you start to think 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.680 about working out baseball players, you start to think about 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:09.800 all those things. It's never been a situation where we're 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.680 going to take the fourth overall pick and draft a quarterback. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.920 Had an opportunity a couple of years ago to take 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.760 the tenth pick and maybe get Justin Fields. Didn't do that, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.159 so they're more willing to try and say, listen, we 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.039 had this guy on our board to a certain spot, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.359 he's available. The fourth round pick is to me, I 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.320 don't look at it as strongly as you do. And 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.320 I love to draft. I love picks. I think it's 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.640 something you can get back. You know, Dallas, last year, 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.359 you guys had some great audio and video of Jerry 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.520 Jones talking about Kansas City moving back five spots and 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.840 picking up at three. That's how things work. Don't worry 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.200 about that. You know. Where they need to What they 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.880 need to work on now is getting the player in 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.120 and getting him acclimated, and I mean acclimated when you 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.440 have twenty some odd coaches. Put these coaches to work. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.240 There needs be post practice where he's out there with 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.960 scout team receivers, he's out there learning the offense. He 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.080 needs to have a practice after a practice is what 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.200 he really really needs. And you know, I think it's 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.719 more about at least gives you options. The thing with 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.880 Dak Prescott, you might let this thing ride. This is 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.400 the one organization the general manager is not going anywhere. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.080 He's not. That's just the way it's built in for 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.960 the organization. That's the way they operate, and that's just fine. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.440 Most teams have a general manager that has to have 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.120 a quarterback or they get fired. So this team can 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.479 play a game where Okay, we're willing to move on. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.120 We're not going to pay a quarterback fifty million dollars. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.400 We're not going to do that. In two years, they 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.720 have those options. Maybe Trey Lance does develop enough to 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.360 where you say, we can we can sign him for this, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.800 we can play him, and then we can build our 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.400 team around that. I think that's the direction really that 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.320 they're going with this addition. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.320 Yeah, when the Cowboys, when the news started coming out, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.039 it was one of those WTF moments, like what is 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.279 going on? But it makes sense now after you sit 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.480 and analyze the whole situation. It makes perfect sense. At 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.840 the time though, it just felt like when speaking about 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.840 a trade, the last thing on my mind would be 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:25.679 to address the quarterback position. But if we remember getting 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.320 into the draft this year. Earlier this year, Jerry Jones 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.160 did come out and say they were going to draft 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.159 the quarterback and it did not play out that way. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.560 They didn't, so, you know, quarterback was as part of 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.600 their needs in wanting to develop a younger guy. This 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.159 is not a proven guy, but I think it plays 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.800 into kind of what they were looking for and what 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.960 they've come out and said that they look for every 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.599 year in the off season to keep developing these young guys. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:57.360 So makes perfect sense. Just very very crappy situation, which 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.800 I'm sure we're going to talk about Will Greer, but 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.480 the moment of when it happened and everything we experience 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:05.520 for that. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.640 Game, I kind of feel like, though, this is just me, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.360 and maybe it's the hardened personnel guy in me. If 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.800 Will gear would have played well for three weeks, maybe 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.480 you don't think about no, this effect, you don't think 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.000 about this, you know, and and yeah, it's terrible timing, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.000 But you're also in a situation where they talk about 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.920 this and they're very proud of this. They talk about 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.680 personal acquisition as a twenty four to seven job around here, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.600 you know, your job is to build your team, whether 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.760 you know you feel like you got a third quarterback 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.000 or you don't, or you have the opportunity to add 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.840 a guy you had on your board in the second round. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.680 You know, these things present themselves throughout and we can 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.560 cry for Argentina and all that stuff like that when 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.160 it comes to Will Greer after a game. But me, 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.760 I'm kind of my thought is I'm thinking, like, bro, 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.880 if you'd have played well in three weeks, the three 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.160 weeks you had an opportunity to play, maybe they don't 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.720 make this decision, you know. And I'm all about team building. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.560 I'm all about trying to get better. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:04.200 You know. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.360 Maybe that's the personal side of the business I kind 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.640 of pull myself back from. But I think he should 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.720 have Dak calling the place for him. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.160 Yeah, maybe that was that, Maybe that was the extra 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:15.720 you know. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.840 I give Dak a lot of credit. And I was 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.320 critical of this because in the in our pregame show, 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.240 I was sitting there thinking, if I was a player 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.960 that was fighting for my job, I would, you know, 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.800 do you think enough of me to do everything in 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.520 your power to help me maybe make this team? 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.000 You know? 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.320 And I and I thought Dak called the place. Yeah, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.600 it's unusual and all that. If one of the other 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.280 assistants would have called plays, I kind of understand. But 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.360 to me, you know, it's one of those things that 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.160 was kind of strange. The way it went out, it 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.080 worked out fine. Dak did a hell of a job, 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.600 he really did. And you know, into Wilger's credit, he 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.079 did a hell of a job too. He just needed 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.200 to do a hell of a job against Jacksonville and 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.960 Seattle and then also this Raider team. And maybe they're 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.440 not thinking about this, maybe they're not thinking about Trey Lance. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.320 Yeah, but you know, I think the thing about it is, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.040 even if let's say, Will may have played better earlier 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.720 in the preseason, I still think this is a treat 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.320 in intriguing opportunity for the Cowboys Tree Lance. I mean, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.760 they had a very high grade on this guy, as 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.880 you mentioned, Amber, they went into the draft this year thinking, Hey, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.360 if we have an opportunity to pick up a quarterback, 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.400 we'd want to do it. And so you knew that 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.240 that was something they wanted to improve on. And the 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.400 way I look at it is, I really don't think 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.719 this is necessarily about Dak. This is about talent acquisition. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.600 But your old boss, Bill Parcells used to say it. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.920 We're in the talent acquisition bits, right, and at a 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.480 position like quarterback, you can never have too many really 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.800 good quarterbacks. Let's say he develops into a really great quarterback. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.960 That doesn't necessarily mean he'll be here. That doesn't necessarily 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.080 mean that Dak will be gone. What that means is 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.080 you may have two good quarterbacks and then you may say, Okay, 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.960 which one do we think gives us the best chance 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.079 to win now in the future, And whichever other one 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.880 you got, maybe you decide we're going to keep Dak. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.600 We're gonna re up the deal. We're willing to pay 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.560 him fifty million or whatever that number is. And guess what, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.240 NFL we're open for business. Who wants who wants Trey 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.280 Lance on their team? After we've shown you in the 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.920 preseason in a game or two, he can do some things. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.559 And we've got you intrigued. Now talking to all the 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.280 other teams, and those other thirty one teams now come bidding. 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.520 That's where this is an advantage for the Cowboys more 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.400 so than anything you could have gotten from Will Greer. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.280 Like there are gonna be teams that are beating down 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.520 your door for Will Grear. Now you start showing a 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.440 former first round pick, number three overall pick that now 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.120 is starting to show progress. You're gonna have a lot 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.600 of teams who are very interested in possibly trading for him. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.440 That's the value of going out and getting Trey Lance 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.960 for a fourth round pick and maybe turning that into 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.400 a first round And that's a second round pick, whatever 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.480 round pick you can get if you decide to part with. 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.280 It's a Bill BELICHICKI in model right, And no, I'm 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.439 not comparing Dak Prescott to Tom Brady. But if you're 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.240 talking as far as the business model is concerned, was 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.439 there in New England they went and got Jimmy G right, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.079 and they got Jimmy G and they let Jimmy G 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.599 develop behind Tom Brady. Then eventually they flipped Jimmy G 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.120 to San Francisco. So to your point, to my point earlier, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.120 this is what I feel like is the best case 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.320 scenario for the Cowboys. And yes, of course they're gonna 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.000 have options if Trey Lance develops, but he would have 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.200 to develop in order to supplant Dek Prescott. He would 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.040 have to develop at strides that would blow our minds 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.960 between now and a possible contract extension. And I just 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.520 don't see it because it's not Trey Lance versus Deck 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.200 right now, it's Tree Lance versus Cooper Rush. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.360 But it gives you options. It gives you options. And 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.360 like I said, there's going to be a team that's 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.240 not going to pay a quarterback that is a top 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.040 ten quarterback fifty eight million dollars. Good, there's not gonna 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.920 be somebody's gonna somebody's gonna step up. They say it's 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.400 more important that you know, why do all these teams 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.480 have success or talk about the success that they have 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.000 with a quarterback that's under a rookie contract, because that 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.800 takes up the majority of your cap. So to me, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.560 I think it gives them options. I don't think this 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.040 is I don't think this the plan here was, Hey, 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.440 let's let's get Trey Lance and trade him. I don't 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.760 think that's the plan. I think the plan here is 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.160 to really figure out if Trey Lance could play. That 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:14.240 I think is the plan. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.720 Right, that's the plan, But I think all options are 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.840 open to them, right, So I don't think that I 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.520 agree with you. I don't think their plan going in 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.160 was we're going to get him to trade him. I 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.240 do think their plan was we're going to get him 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.679 to develop him, and then we will see what happens. Right, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.360 Maybe we decide to trade him. Maybe we decided to 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.360 keep him right, Maybe he's our backup, maybe he's maybe 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.880 there's some universe where he's good enough to be a starter. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.240 The point is they wanted to develop him because of 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.080 where he was drafted in the Great They had him, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.000 no question. They figured they could get that out of him, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.120 no question, right, or at least wanted to give a try. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.719 Yeah, it just gives you a lot more options to 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.720 think about if, in fact, the quarterback numbers get crazy. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.080 You know, there might be a situation with the Cowboys 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.760 that they let this contract with Dak Riot the next 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.680 two years and see where they're at. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:58.960 You know. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.040 The interesting part about it that theory of that route, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.080 if they decided to go that route, they would be 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.000 then toward the end of Trey Lance's deal. Right, it 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.760 means they don't get the benefit of that first year 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.600 contract with him either, because if they've developed him right now, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.200 his agent's gonna say, hey, man, I want that same 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.199 money all these other quarterbacks out there are getting. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.319 Right, it might be a situation where you're not where 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.959 you're not paying fifty eight million dollars to a guy either. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.680 Maybe too, Yeah, maybe all right, we appreciate you guys 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.439 joining us. We got a lot more to go. We're 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.720 gonna get into the second and third segments today. We're 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.960 going to cut down the show. No, not yet. Now, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.319 we haven't gotten to the guts of the show yet. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.679 We're going to get into the rush roster. Cut down.

Okay, yeah, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.160 we're gonna talk about roster cuts today, and I want 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.000 to preface this by saying, and I want to say 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.720 this as much for us as I do for those 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.160 out there listening. I know that we get into the 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.520 habit of talking about NFL players as though they are commodities. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.480 But let's remember they are people, and so our conversation today, 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.920 although we're going to be talking about guys losing their jobs, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.760 we're going to be respectful of them. And for those 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.480 of you out there who will be talking about them 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.360 on social media, remember these are people with families who 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.560 will be For some of them, this will be the 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.840 end of their football careers, and so we'll talk about 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.920 it with respect. But at the same time, we will 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.919 talk about who's going to make this team and who 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.080 will not. We're going to go through each position, and 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.720 what I want you guys to do is I want 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.000 you to do two things. One, I want you to 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.480 tell me how many people at this position you think 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.920 they'll keep, and then give me the names of those 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.479 that you think will stick around. I'll throw there some 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.879 names out there for you to help you out and 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.359 then we'll try to see if we can narrow this 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.399 thing down. So let's talk about the quarterback position. I 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.800 think this one should move pretty quickly. We all, I think, agree, 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:34.119 three quarterbacks Dak Prescott, Cooper, Rush, Trey Lance. All agreed, agreed, agreed. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.000 Let's move on to the running back position. How many 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.560 do you think they'll keep? And who do they keep? 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:43.400 They got Tony Pollard, Rico'dodellduce, Fawn, Ronald Jones, Malik Davis, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.520 maybe even Hunter Lepke had a nice game in the 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.359 final preseason game. If you want to keep a fullback, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.439 maybe he would be your guy. What do you think 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:52.679 will happen at the running back position? 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:59.639 I'm carrying three three. I'm going Pilard, Dowdle, and Deuce. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.160 I'm trying to get Malik and Hunter lip Key back 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:05.200 onto the practice squad. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:05.879 Agreed. 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.920 Hmm, same retweet repost post. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.320 So in that exit in that you guys are completely 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:15.600 moving away from Ronald Jones. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:16.760 Unfortunate. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.000 Well, he's on suspended list. So what I'm doing is 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.879 I'm putting them on. Yeah, but he's I don't have 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.160 to waive him or anything like that. I'm just gonna 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.320 put him on the suspended list, and after two weeks, 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.520 if something happens with my running backs, have him there. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:31.920 I got you. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.280 So you're you're just deferring the decision. But if nothing happens, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:36.840 you're saying at the end of two weeks, you would 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:37.480 let him walk. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.480 Yeah, if if nothing happens, If nothing happens, right, which, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.600 but I'm going to use the suspended list to my advantage, Davi. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.639 Now now that this is just to be clear, the 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.280 suspension list is not the same as like, for example, 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.159 if you wanted to keep a guy that you were 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.879 going to ultimately put on IR, you would have to 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.680 put them on the roster first, then move them divers, 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.360
