Yeah, and so 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.400 much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:33.080 Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us and 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:39.240 bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, December fourteenth, 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.640 twenty twenty two, Season eighteen, Episode number eighty nine. Welcome 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.720 to the latest edition of The Break. We're lifing st 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.360 WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star and we're presented by 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.840 mill of Light, the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.360 We got lots of different things that we gotta hit today. 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.600 We didn't have a show yesterday, so we didn't get 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.400 a chance to talk about the latest addition to the Cowboys. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.200 One t Y Hilton wide receiver spent most of his career, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.640 I actually all of his career within Indianapolis Colts. A 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.960 very very successful career, I would say, and Dallas gets 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.200 a shot at him now bringing them onto their roster. 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.880 Uh tell me, first of all, I guess, let's let's 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.800 go around the table. How much do you like to move? 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.080 What do you like about it? I like that he's 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.680 ready to play right now. He's ready, and he's he's 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.840 and he's a veteran guy that doesn't have a lot 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.480 of wear and tear on him this year. And I 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.880 think that that should you know, he's a smart player. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.640 I think it's a guy that can come in and 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.920 just sort of help them, probably gives them some things 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.800 that you know that they wanted James Washington to provide, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.319 but maybe he can provide a little bit better. He 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:45.200 has that physical aspect, the physical attributes that I like 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.360 in a wide receiver. And I've mentioned James Washington for 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.080 quite a bit. I'm not a fan of and nothing 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.360 against him again, I just he's not my prototype for 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.560 wide receipt with you. Yeah, it's just yeah, he's just 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:04.040 too like heavy. He's just heavy, and a guy like him. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.280 I like his physique, he has the experience, he's a 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.679 varying guy. Like Nick said, he can come in and play. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.600 That was a very, very, by the way, very surprising move. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.800 I did not expect the Cowboys to go out and 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.399 hire and find a contract with a guy like him, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.600 a guy that we haven't even been mentioning, I think 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.720 all of our attention has been on oh b J. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.679 And my understanding is that based on everything that Jerry 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.600 Jones keeps saying, the doors are still open and we'll 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.639 see what happens in that regards. But it's exciting. It's 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.160 exciting to have him come in here and see what 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.959 he can do on offense, and just I would assume 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.800 he would automatically take over what James Washington was trying 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.800 to do in this last game and Jalen Tolber, maybe 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.280 Noah Brown as well. So we'll see how he can 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.160 elevate this offense. But I think it brings a breath 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.760 of fresh air into the wide receiver group. He does 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.600 something that he's a really good run or routes, a 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.280 good zone coverages, you know, and that's something that when 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.440 the Cowboys last week in that game against the Texans, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.600 they saw a lot of zone and it's one of 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.080 those things that kind of makes their offense a little 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.440 straine sometimes when people play zone against them, their routes, 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.040 the combinations of the routes, I think they're much better 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.920 route running team against man coverage than there are zone 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.720 coverage teams. And so you have a guy that has 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.079 that ability to play underneath. He knows how to run, 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.000 how to stop, how to settle down, how to get 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.520 the ball and then get up to feel quick. You know, 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.200 they were clearly hunting a wide receiver. They were clearly 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.720 when the Odell Beckham thing, when that thing went south, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.840 then they went to plan B here and you're you're 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.200 right about the You know, he hasn't there's not a 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.240 lot of wear and tear on his body. He's a 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.440 guy that's always kind of dealt with, especially leader in 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.360 his career, with the soft tissue injury stuff. But my 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.440 guys were saying, hey, listen, kind of a lightning in 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.839 the bottle, kind of a signing here. But the one 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.840 thing he could do is he has an understand of 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.560 route running. He knows how to separate, he knows how 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.640 to sit down in zones. He could catch the football 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.120 and he gets up to feel quick. That's the thing 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.000 that you're really going to be happy about with him 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.680 being on your team. Yeah, one of the things I 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.200 love about it. I women looked at some of his 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.720 numbers from last year. He hasn't played since last year, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.800 so that's obviously something you got to keep an eye on. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.800 How do they ramp him up, how much can he 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.200 take how fast? Brian, I heard you talking on radio 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.920 yesterday about soft tissue issues have been an issue for him. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.520 One of those quick twitch guys, So all that's gonna 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.120 factor in. But what I loved is in his last 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.920 three games last year, he had long catches of thirty 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.880 three yards, forty four yards which was a touchdown, thirty 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.640 nine yards which was a touchdown. He did that in 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.160 the last three games last year. This year, the Cowboys 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.200 only have three players that have at least one catch 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.120 on both thirty three yards. Two of them have three catches, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.240 one has one even had a fifty two yard or 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.000 back in Week six last year. So he does bring 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.640 something to this offense. I think that maybe they lack 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.359 a little bit in that ability to get deep, to 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.720 be able to force defense is to respect the fact 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.400 that he can go long, and I think that can 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.000 help them, particularly if he's doing it on the outside, 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.919 where now you take that safety out of the middle 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.120 of the field, you might help that middle of the 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.320 field where we've seen so many things go wrong for 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.200 this offense. Maybe that's safety, getting that safety out of 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.240 there and making him respect a guy like t Y 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.960 Hilton actually helps in that regard. How much do you 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.600 guys expect him to help and how soon, I guess 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.719 is the big question and most fans probably want to know. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.159 I think he's gonna play this week, but as far 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.880 as as far as helping helping, I mean, that's gonna 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.479 be up to him and Dak and that offense to 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.640 kind of see, like, you know, it's one thing to 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.599 say he's really good at running routes against his own, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.320 which is which I believe, but I also think that 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.680 that Dak has to understand like where he's going to be, 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.400 where he's going to sit. So I think I think 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.080 it's just as if they have a good week of practice, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.840 you know, and just one thing Jerry said on the 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.600 radio yesterday, smart smart guy on him, So I think 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.440 he'll be able to pick it up. The guy keep 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.720 comparing it to is Randall Cobb's. To me, it's a 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.200 Randall Cobb type of move at the end of the year, 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.840 and Randall Cobb had eight hundred yards as the third receiver, 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.160 so you know, with Dak and those guys on the outside, 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.800 so I think if he can come in, be a 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.760 smart guy and help out. I think he can help 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.800 out this week. Clarify that a little bit for me. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.880 On the comparison. You're not saying he's that kind of player. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.800 You're saying he's it's that kind of signing from the 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.159 standpoint of what well, I think from a slot guy, 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.320 a veteran and an older guy, that's probably his best 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.640 years are behind him. But but I think, I mean, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.200 and I don't he's probably more dynamic than than Cobb was. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.440 But I'm just saying as a guy that can come 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.880 in and be smart and contribute right away as the 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.279 third receiver, That's what I'm saying. I don't think that 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.200 they're the same type of player, but I you know, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.039 and and they've they've played with good quarterbacks over the year. Well, 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.360 Cobb played with a great quarterback over the years. But 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.479 I mean, you know, says like Hilton has done well 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.360 with whoever's throwing him the ball. Well, those balls I 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.520 talked about last year I was with Carson Wentz, so okay, yeah, yeah, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.880 I kind of feel like just the narrative about him 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.520 was he can't stay healthy. Yeah, that's why people, that's 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.360 why he wasn't on a team. Because everybody talks about well, 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.359 you know, you might you might get one here, You 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.480 might have one. You know, he hadn't played the whole year. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.480 You might, you know, for one month, you might get 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.960 the absolute best out of this guy. But there's a 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.000 lot of people that, like Nick said, had kind of 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.160 given up on him that you know, he's just he's 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.840 always too hurt to play. So that's why he probably 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.000 wasn't on a team until this point in time. And 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.240 you know, good for the Cowboys if he could give them, 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.880 you know, if he could play these games, give him 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.160 something on third down, give him something on fourth down. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.640 If they go for it. I mean, they get a 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.360 lot of situations. We're in third and five, third and four, 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.600 you know, kind of in between whether you want to 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.040 run the ball or not. You know that maybe you 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.520 don't have to run the slant, you know, to gallop 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.120 and you could find a way to get the ball 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.080 to get it to him, and you know the routes 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.600 that he runs. Just get it to him and let 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.360 him get up the field. That's what he's really really 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.960 good at. Well, what's good is that you're not necessarily 0:07:56.000 --> 0:08:00.240 asking him or whoever he made have been, to take 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.320 so much load, like you're just asking for a couple 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.760 of plays to happen draw some attention as well by 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.440 having a guy, a veteran guy like him in the 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.360 experience that he has, Like you were mentioned mentioning Derek 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.800 draw some attention over there, but it's not like you're 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:21.280 asking him to be the guy the ceedee lamb of 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.560 the wide receiver. So I think that benefits the Cowboys 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.960 a whole lot because I don't think they have this 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.280 huge gap from really elevating their offense and what they're 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.440 doing in the passing game. So having him, it's gonna 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.280 draw attention. He's gonna be able to make some catches. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.960 I think he would be rather quickly, and going back 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.080 to Reynal Cobb, I mean he would from what I remember, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.880 he was pretty productive very quickly, And I think there's 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.559 a benefit to that. When you have guys that can 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.840 come in at this part of the year, sometimes they're 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.320 just so fresh and ready to go, especially a veteran 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.920 guy that I think it would be a similar scenario 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.960 like that where he's ready. You go go out there 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:06.200 and it's just someone that's fresh and hasn't doesn't have 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.760 the amount of weight and tear down that all of 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.000 these guys have had at this point because of the season. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.439 It's a long season. We're kind of heading to the 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.600 last part of it. Yeah, A comfortable name out through 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.599 out there is DeShawn Jackson. I think this is the 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.440 kind of signing like a Deshaun Jackson, fast guy, guy 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.959 that's had lots of injuries throughout his career, a lot 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.319 of those soft tissue injuries. And he's one of those 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.440 guys that if you bring him on your team, you're like, Okay, 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.079 we'll use him until he's no longer helped you, right, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.640 and you see what you can get out of him, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.760 and sure enough he will. I've seen him do this 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.000 on a number of teams he's signed with. He comes 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.320 in fifty yard pass, forty eight yard pass, like he 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.600 is the type of guy that still has that ability 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.840 to get deep and still has that ability to be 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.920 able to make those plays, those big plays for you, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:51.800 and you don't need a lot of those. If you 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.360 can get that once or twice a game, it changes 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.360 how defenses have to play you when that player is 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.920 on the field, and just the threat of them now 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.480 creates other opportunity for guys and that's what I'm that's 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.440 the best case scenario of what this can provide for 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.160 the cow do you think I mean, I've seen Dak 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.240 make those big throws, those long throws. He got it, 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.840 he can do it. But do you think that Dad 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.040 can take advantage of a guy like him and make 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.600 those deep throws like you're mentioning. I think so. The 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.000 question will be will the offensive coordinator work that into 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.920 the offense in a way to where they're using it 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.920 enough to make it make a difference. That's what I 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.200 don't know, because you know, we've talked about it over 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.400 the years, where you have a specific player with a 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.719 specific skill set and we're like, man, why aren't we 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.839 seeing them take advantage of this more? Why aren't we 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.080 seeing them do this particular thing or use this particular 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.880 player in a specific way. That's the part I don't know, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.760 and I don't again, he may have a whole different 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.000 vision for what they have for this player, right, It 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.720 may not be the vision I have for him, So 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.480 it may not even go that way. All I'm saying 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.320 is that's what he's been throughout his career, and that's 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.200 how I look at the advantage of having him on 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.839 this team. We'll see if they'll use him that way. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.320 But I don't have any questions about Dak being able 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.240 to hit a deep ball, don't. I really don't have 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.320 that question. Yeah, it's funny the analytics. Several years ago, 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.360 he was one of the top five quarterbacks in the 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.680 league when it came to deep ball throws. And but 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.640 the analytics the last say, the last several weeks have 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.800 been not so good. You know, I think he was. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.520 You know, it's it's the percentage is way way way 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.880 down for him. So I mean, yeah, and maybe it 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.280 has to do with the, like you said, the willingness 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.280 or the not the willingness of the offensive coordinator. I 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.439 think they're worried about sending you know, who's the one 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.000 guy that could get deep. Michael Gallup was the one 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.880 guy that could get deep. You know, when you've talked 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.319 about that. Maybe they're a little bit worried about throwing 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.400 the ball up and him coming down with the knee 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.800 and stuff like that. So maybe you've lost a little 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.040 bit a little bit of that. Yeah, and one other 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.760 thing I'll throw out there too. I was watching, I 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.240 was rewatching the last week's game, and there are a 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.880 couple times when Dak was trying to throw down feel 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.000 and Terence still sitting in his lap. That hurts as well, 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.160 Like that hurts your ability to be able to really 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:03.640 step into your throw, especially after week one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.760 So I do think this may be a little more 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.040 complicated than just can dact through a deep ball. I 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.000 don't think it's as much that as maybe other factors 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.240 that that you might be seeing that that are kind 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.000 of affecting that. All right, let's let's move on. Let's 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.400 talk about real quick. Um Amber you mentioned it. Jerry 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.360 has talked about the OBJ deal saying it's not dead. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.600 What are your thoughts? What are you hearing? What do 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.200 you think is going to happen? I guess at this 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.560 point with with OBJ or is it completely dead at 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.400 this point? What do I think it's gonna happen? Yea, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:34.720 what do you think? This is just your opinion on 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.440 They're gonna sign him. They're gonna sign him, and they're 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.840 gonna put him in and he's gonna rehab the whole 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.880 time and maybe if it works out, he'll come back 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.320 at some point. And they got to be deep in 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.160 the season and they got to be able to trust him. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.040 But uh that he you know that he's ready and 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.480 healthy to play. But I just think there's too much smoke, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.400 too much of this for there not to be the 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.559 fire of it. I think that it's going to happen, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.520 and I think it could happen. I mean, at this point, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.280 if it's gonna happen, sooner the better because then you 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.200 could if you really wanted him to start rehab and 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.840 put send him to the best guy in the league. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.320 You know they have right here. That's what I believe. Now. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.240 So you're saying, you're saying that he's going to sign 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.360 here in the next week or so, and then I'm 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.079 not trying to put work out. I'm just saying, I'm 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.680 just trying to understand. So he's gonna sign in the 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.920 next week, They're gonna rehab him, and if you get 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.680 him ready for the playoffs, it's all good. That's gravy 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.199 at this point, right Yeah. Yeah, if he's willing for that, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.360 If he's willing to do that, and that would be 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.440 the change. The change would be that he would do 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.640 a one year deal, which is really a few months, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.000 but that that's that's what you know. If he's willing 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.320 to do that, then yeah, the Cowboys do it, and 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.120 then they try to resign him and if it doesn't 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.719 work out, then you lose them in free agency and 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:52.200 you get a compic. Yeah. I just to me the 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.760 more I kind of felt like that, you know, I 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.280 understand what you're saying, Man, I really do it. Just 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.440 the thing about it is, I keep and like, he's 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.600 not gonna be ready for eight weeks, you know, and 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.880 so you're just now you're now you're up against it 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.120 as far as playoffs and being ready and all that. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.160 But you're right, this guy out here that does the 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.480 rehab stuff, if the players willing to work this guy 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.840 will get him ready to play that Britt Brown, I 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.839 wonder though, like if you know, I was thinking more 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.520 long term. I was thinking more about next year's plans. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.200 But they've got so much that they have to do. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.720 Can they afford to even extend an Odell Beckham? Can 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.280 they even provide him any? And that's not to say, 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.280 I mean, you've got all these guys you have to resign. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.760 What's going to happen with the running backs, What's going 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.480 to happen with the left tackle, what's gonna happen with 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.720 I mean, there's so many things up in the air 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.720 right now that if you know, if I could see 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.520 him sitting out, I honestly could see him sitting out 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.360 and saying, let's do this again in March. You know, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.200 let's do this again. Let's let's go back and you know, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.360 I'll be completely healthy and you know, and then I'll 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.840 see the teams that have the money that I want 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.440 to go to. You know, That's that's just me. But man, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.080 it would be exciting. I mean I felt all along 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.880 that he could sign a deal here, you know, a 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.040 one year deal, the guy rehab him and now even 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.960 if it doesn't work out here, he's in better shape 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.160 going on next year. You know. But it sounds like 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.640 this guy kind of has his idea of what he 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.440 wants to do, and people tell them, oh, you're the best, odell. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.800 You don't have to work out hard today, you know, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.560 if you don't want to do this or do that, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.120 you know. I mean, I don't know. If he was here, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.320 I'd say there's a chance for him playing. The longer 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.040 he sits out, I feel like that's that's a next 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.640 year thing for me. Yeah. How boys, I mean, one 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.240 thing they are is they are really really smart with 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:46.080 their money. But this whole situation is very confusing because 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.640 a couple of weeks ago, I think it was, we 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.640 came on here after hearing Jerry Jones and we're pretty 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.240 convinced on like, based on how he sounded, that this 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.000 wasn't a thing that was going to work out for 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:01.320 this year from a health standpoint. So now let's say 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.480 they I'm just wondering, okay, if it does happen, because 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.320 now Jerry has come on and instead of a couple 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.880 of times that the doors are still open, they're kind 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.840 of working on things. What has changed other than the money, Like, 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.240 what else has changed? Because this whole topic was, or 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.080 the whole idea was for him to be able to 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.800 help this season in the playoffs. Yeah, I think for me, 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.960 at least, if I'm gonna go down the path that 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.080 Nick is going, then the way I look at this 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.920 is what's changed is I now have the guy I 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.360 think I can rely on, or at least I hope 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.960 I can rely on as a veteran guy to come 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.640 and give me a little relief, maybe give me a 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.360 little insurance and t Y Hilton. So now it's a 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.280 little less important that he that OBJ if I signed 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.280 him that he plays now, like I might be able 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.520 to take a flyer and get him in here and 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.000 rehab him, and I might be let's say they're still playing. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.240 I might be two or three weeks into the playoffs 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.120 and now he's ready to play, and now I can 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.960 get him out there and kind of work him in 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.960 and maybe I get a little bit out of him. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.639 Maybe if I get to a super Bowl and he's healthy, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.640 maybe I can get him out there. Maybe I get 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.080 a few catches from him. Right the point is, I 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.880 don't have to rely on him now. It's just gravy. Now, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.200 it's like I got the guy who I think I got, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.720 my veteran guy that I wanted to bring here to 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.919 give me a little bit more. This guy would just 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.160 be gravy to add to that. In the event that 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.520 he happens to be healthy at that point, I don't 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.359 have to rely on him going into the playoffs. It's 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.600 so weird to talk about possible super Bowl and it's 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.080 true and it's a real thing. Because you know, t 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.080 Y Hilton wanted to come here. Odell I think wants 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.680 to come here. It's because of you have a realistic chance. 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.760 But to get to the Super Bowl. You're gonna have 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.879 to win three road games in the playoffs. And you 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.280 know how many years you have to go back to 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.320 get to three road wins, forty two, forty two years 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.200 to get three road wins by the Cowboys, all the 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.640 way back to nineteen eighty and so it just doesn't see, 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.240 it's hard to imagine that, right. Yeah. Well, the thing 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.720 that don't Beagles this week an the thing, yeah, the 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.800 thing to get the thing that gives you a chance 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.360 is the fact that this conference isn't as strong as 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.919 it it has been in the past, you know, with 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.960 the game Bays and the quarterbacks. I mean, the absolute 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.960 disaster for this football team would be to win twelve games, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.200 you know, thirteen games, and then go and get beat 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.320 by an eight and nine Tampa Bay team in Tampa 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.639 would be that would be that that would be I 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.720 would say Dan Quinn would be your next head coach 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.160 if that happened that kind of I mean, I'm sorry, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.720 I'm just that's I'm gonna say that. But that's the 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.760 fear you have right now. Even if he was the 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.840 reason that they lost. I think there's such I let's 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.080 do this. We'll get into that we'll get into that whole. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:51.360 It's always no, no, but I have reasoning. I have reasoning. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.679
