It might not be in the best state 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.800 of frame, state of mind. A few too many Tito's 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.320 and soda water water I drate as I drink. I 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.080 feel like that text happened, like as the guy standing 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:05.720 there like do you want another, sir, and You're like 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.040 hold on, no, actually yeah, okay yea. As me and 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.920 SE's are about to leave, we were like uber, it 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.600 was like yeah, And I was like oh, let me 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.800 make a text. So I was like, yeah, it's probably 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.520 a good time to go ahead and let somebody know. Well, 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.880 we're just glad that you made it out of life 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.160 and your present. We're glad that you are responsible too. 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.760 I am responsible all the time. Well, Amber made it 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.600 clear too. She was like, you know, Uber, you guys 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.679 make no she said, make sure no drinking and driving. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.800 I was like, yeah, we're going Uber. We're doing it 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.479 Uber everywhere, Uber everywhere. Okay, Well, I wanted to start 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.600 off with talking about some of the guys in on 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.240 the injury report. One of them standing out that we 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.280 spoke about yesterday a lot was that's Brian. So now 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.400 he shows up on there with a knee injury, Jasmine 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:59.480 demand that wasn't tendonitis? Wasn't that happens? So this first 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.360 time he's been the injury report. No, no, no, okay, no, 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.559 I think that needs to be cleared up a little 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.480 bit too, Like he has been on the injury report 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.320 for three weeks, right, Yeah, So it's not the worst 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.839 thing that he said that that that comment, I mean, 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.480 he probably shouldn't have. He was just always full right 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.880 limited for a little while back around. He's missed some 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.160 time late October early November. He had nothing serious. Well, yeah, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:30.160 I mean he didn't miss into games. Yeah, it's probably justified, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.880 and he's and he's right. It just it was just 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.600 poor timing to say it. Then. It's just not a 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:41.400 good time to say, well, I've had knee injuries. Nobody 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.080 wants to hear all that, you know, not in not 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.560 on December twenty seven. I mean, I saw a guy 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.320 that broke his hand in the middle of a game 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.560 as a wide receiver, and he dropped five passes, and 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.880 he was crucified for dropping five passes. Teo, he broke 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.840 his hand, No one cares. I mean whatever, very catch 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.880 the ball. So I mean, yeah, your knee hurt, whatever, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.000 I get it. You're not as explosive as you were. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.040 But he's still all still hitting you in the face, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.480 still hitting me in the hands. I mean, you know, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.120 the whole thing has been off a little bit for him, 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.240 a lot of it. It Actually, are you guys feeling 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.800 that this is any indication that he might sit out 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.079 on Sunday? Well, I was about to say, I mean, 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.680 this isn't a coincidence, right, This feels very strongly like 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.680 a message to me by whom, yeah, and for whom who? 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.240 By Jason Garrett, for Dez Bryant. I mean that, I 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.680 mean to not be on the report at all, to 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.560 practice fully on Wednesday, to say Wednesday afternoon, Yeah, I've 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.680 had a knee issue all the year, and then to 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.680 sit down for practice with a knee just the next day. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.240 It doesn't feel like a coincidence. Yes, no, No, You're 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.560 right about that. It doesn't. I mean, it doesn't feel 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.000 like a coincidence. I don't know if I had necessar 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.160 early by that it's Jason sending that message, or could 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.400 it be the opposite? Could it be? Could it be Dez? 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.200 That's like how I can't go. I need to rest 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.880 it it could it could be, Although I mean he 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.120 said he also said Wednesday he said I consider myself 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.760 a warrior, and if I can move and I can walk, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.560 then I'm going to be out there. So that kind 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.560 of clashes with his own statement. Well, I don't know. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.000 I don't know for sure, and I'm sure Jason Garrett 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.840 will be asked about it today, but that the timing 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.799 is interesting. I mean, I don't I don't know if 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.680 that would qualify as a benching or what but to 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.279 have him not be at practice the day after talking 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.600 about suddenly he didn't say anything that would get him 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.960 benched though, right, I don't know. I like I like 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.360 Nick said, I mean, you've been battling this problem for 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.200 the whole season. But does anybody want to hear that 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.320 right now? Like if you've been going through these games 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.200 and then say, oh, yeah, by the way, I've been hurt. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.760 I mean I could see that, rubbin people. I'm just 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.520 saying he implied some things like we talked about yesterday. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.360 Did he did not really come out and say anything. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.000 I don't think that was all that controversial. I think it. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.440 It kind of came off maybe a little bit as 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.320 excuse making, But yeah, I don't think. I don't think 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.440 he said anything. I didn't read it as anything that 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:13.960 I was like, oh, wow, coach is gonna have a 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.159 problem with that. I didn't, but maybe you guys did. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.240 I didn't think so at the time. But again, for 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.719 the third time, it's really interesting timing that twenty three 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.960 hours after he said that he wasn't on the practice 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.320 field after being full of the day before that, like 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.440 he wasn't even on the report. Yeah, and then they 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.400 add him to the report and he doesn't practice at all, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.360 I don't know. We'll see, I mean, see what happens today. Well, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.000 and also it might just be them protecting themselves too, 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.240 you know, from we did that for a reason. That's 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.120 a good point too. I mean, you know, because you 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.640 get guys. You know the way it is now if 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.680 you don't report guys on the injury report, and you know, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.400 and the guy says he's hurt, he says it on Wednesday, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.200 Well then maybe he's hurt. Let's hold him out. Then. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.280 If he's gonna tell the world that he's hurting, then 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.640 let's set him out. Yeah, I mean, I think it 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.440 is a true message. I'm interested to see what he does. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.760 I mean, like I said, he practiced fully Wednesday, so 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.040 I would assume he's in a good spot where he 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.960 could play in this game. But we'll see what he 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.240 does today. And I don't like, is it gonna play 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.359 very interesting? It's And yeah, I always there's always gotta like, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.479 there's always gonna be something to keep the intrigue going, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.480 Like they're not gonna make the playoffs. But now we're 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.320 doing this whole dance with this right now, I'm gonna 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.280 we're not hosting Eric, you can't. No, no, I was 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.320 gonna ask this question, if we're gonna go down the 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.240 path of maybe this I don't want to call it 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.520 a conspiracy theory, but if we're gonna go down the 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.680 path of yeah, I did um. But if we're gonna 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.560 go down that path, could this possibly be a situation 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.440 where the Cowboys are deciding let's sit him because we're 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.160 gonna have contract conversations with him and we don't need 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.240 him hurt. I mean, could that be part of it? 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.920 I don't what is being hurt? Really? What does that 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.760 really matter? If if he let's say, this is what 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.760 Dave was saying yesterday, the reason why you don't play 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.039 your best players in a game like this is because 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.839 they get injured. And the kind of injury that you 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.000 could get could be an injury that holds a guy 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.560 out all during the off season and into training camp 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.320 and maybe even the next season. Do you can are 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.000 you concerned about that? For players Let's say, and let's 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.560 not even just say Dez. Let's say this is a 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.280 player that actually has a contract that's coming up, or 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.000 a guy that you're gonna have to make a decision 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.360 on it's in the last year. Yeah, exactly do you 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.920 do you? Maybe does that affect your decision making on 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.320 whether you let that guy play or not because you 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.680 don't want him hurt in a situation where you're trying 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.160 to negotiate a content hasn't shown enough the season at least, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.240 he hasn't done anything to make me want to say, Okay, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.080 let's we know what he's all about. I feel like 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.880 this game he should go out there and try to 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.560 give it all he got and try to, you know, 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.640 change some people's mind even though it's just you're big 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.160 on You're big on like rewards. Yeah, like reward good behavior. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.400 You don't deserve a day off. Yeah, I mean I 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.600 like it. But like you, I think I know where 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.480 days going with this. So when you were when he 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.880 was talking about like a hitchens a guy getting hurt, 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.760 or would you play him like that only hurts the player, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.560 it doesn't hurt the Cowboys helps their negotiating position maybe, 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.520 I mean yeah, I mean, if let's say des were 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.760 to get hurt in this game or whatever, and then 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.040 that's a good point. And then you get into it, 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.720 it's like, well, okay, do you want to take a 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.920 pay cut. You know, as you're not you're not practicing 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.600 right now, you're gonna rehab for a while. No, I'm 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.800 not taking a pay cut. Well okay, well we're probably 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.440 gonna release you then. And now now you gotta go 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.360 with crutches to go visit these other teams, and that 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.040 might hurt his you know, negotiations as well. It can 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.520 hurt the Cowboys too. I'm number ninety, he's out there, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 he's coming up on a contract negotiation. You probably want 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.120 to franchise him. He gets himself hurt, what are you 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.960 gonna do there? And then now you're talking about you 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.200 don't have your best pass rusher for next season. It's 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.440 a good point because if you're talking about a franchise tag, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.719 now you're doing a franchise tag, and maybe you got 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.880 a franchise tag on a guy that may not be 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.000 able to play at So you're like, well, we're gonna 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.400 spend a franchise tag on a guy that's going to 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.280 be rehabbing all year, or are we going to sign 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:09.960 into a long term deal knowing he'll be hurt for 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.320 the beginning of it and as good as he's looked 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.000 this year, like he could still probably get a nice deal, 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.000 even with teams knowing that he'll be out for twenty eighteen. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.360 But that's just my point. It complicates things. Yeah, and 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.440 so we start thinking about it from that standpoint. Yesterday 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.680 I was completely against what you were saying. Today, in 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.040 that context thought about it, I would actually think a 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.480 little bit more. And that doesn't mean I changed the concept, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.920 but I maybe think about a little bit more. If 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.840 there were guys that I'm kind of thinking about contract 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.520 situations for the offseason. Maybe, Again, these guys are assets. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.120 Their job. Their job is to play football, but their 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.439 job is to help you be good at football. They 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.480 can't really do that on Sunday, but they can do 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.000 it next year. Yeah, that's my whole point. Yeah. But also, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.480 do you feel like that Jerry Jones has gone up 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.400 to Jason Garrett and said, you are coming back, coach. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.400 Don't worry about any of this stuff. You're coming back. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.960 He said it in the media. Okay, but do you 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.040 think he's pulled him into his office and said that, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.800 if you just had to guess, I don't think so. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.880 I don't. I don't know, Okay, I don't know their relationship. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.240 I'm just saying, but if you're Jason Garrett, like, and 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.480 you need to win this game. I mean you need 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.640 to win it. So yeah, I think so you think 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.920 that this game can make can ultimately make a decision 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.600 as to whether he's here or next year or not. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.200 I think it helps to win on a you know, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.920 to in the season on a winning note. I think 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.880 that you know, he doesn't probably know one. He's coming back, 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.280 so he's gonna play these guys. They're gonna go and win. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.040 And what have we heard about Jason Garrett from a 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.440 number standpoint, But everyone always puts a label on him 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.840 eight Nate, I'm telling you what, I'll be damned if 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.520 I go eight and eight this year. I'm gonna win 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.160 this damn game. We're gonna win. We're gonna beat the Eagles. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.120 We're gonna have a winning record. We're gonna go nine 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.000 to seven. They might win the super Bowl, but we 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.440 beat them. And I would go play this game and 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.640 that for any other reason. I'm like, our guys are 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.360 gonna and strong and we're gonna play. Well, that's that's 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.840 the point I was making yesterday that that's just his mantra. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.240 That's always been his mantra. Is every day we show 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.240 up and no matter what, until they tell us to 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.439 stop playing, we're gonna keep playing, right, So, I mean, yeah, 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.120 that's his that's his thing, and I wouldn't expect anything 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.560 less from him. Everybody gets it. Everyone. I understand his point, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.840 he understands our point. And when the guy gets carted 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.880 off the field, he Dave's gonna be like, that's where 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.839 I know he's gonna have that saving little smirk on 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.079 his face. I would not smirk about something. Smirk, but 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.400 I mean just kind of like I told you guys, 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.000 it's gonna happened. What I was telling Naked about daring 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.680 my fat in trying to catch his cell phone. Yeah, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.559 you can get hurt any way, Like you can get 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.640 hurt outside of I hate that argument so much because like, yeah, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.559 you can get hurt crossing the street, you can get 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.960 hurt doing anything you paintball. No, you can get hurt 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.000 in week one. Like, but but you're in control of 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.600 the finite amount of things. So take control of one 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.840 of the things that you're in control of. You know, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.640 you can hold be so funny if you just don't 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.280 play them. And then as they're walking out to the 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:13.040 field and they're sweats. They slip and fall and break something, right, 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.640 that's life. This thing is scary because Seattle last year, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.440 like he was adamant about not playing Tony Romo. Remember that. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.520 Oh yeah, it goes down. Um, let's quickly talk about 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.840 Orlandos Kendrick, who has been out for a while with 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.760 the backing trees now back to a limited and it 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.880 sounds like he's just out. Yeah. So there was a 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.000 lot of talk to the media and it was kind 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:45.880 of interesting, a lot of um implications of him possibly 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.800 not being here next year. Wait, des talk yesterday. What 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.040 do you say? He said? A bunch of stuff, he said, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:59.560 hold on, yeah, come over here. To be ironical, not 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.120 to put in house business out in public, but like 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.200 it was a hell of an afternoon for our cms 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.720 to go down because there's like all kinds of stuff 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.160 coming out of that greatness coming out of that locker room. Yeah. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.240 So it seemed though, I saw so many reports like 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.280 it seemed like it was almost a foregone conclusion He's 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.319 not here next year, or at least that's the way 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.239 the story seemed to be written in so many different publications, 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.800 like he's not coming back. Well, remember at the beginning 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.160 of this year during free agency kind of there was 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.040 a talk about that whole thing of and him very 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.679 being very offended and having to talk with I think 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.040 it was Jerry like and Jerry had to come out 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.240 and be like, no, you're gonna be here, blah blah blah. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.400 Do you guys expect this for or for this to 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.640 actually happen this year? Well, you know, his contract is 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:48.559 really favorable to the Cowboys and so, and I haven't 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.000 I haven't been one that's that's really been gung ho 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.480 about the corners that are playing right now. I think 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.800 that they're they're they're young, they're they're scrapping, They're they're 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.120 doing the best they can. But you know, they have 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.320 given up some some plays as well. I mean, and 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.440 so I don't think that they they're ready. I mean, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.600 Scandrick should be out there. I know he's hurt, but 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.959 I'm just saying Scandrick is the is still the best cornerback. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.559 I think that they have. I believe that, you know, 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.920 I don't close. I don't think I'm as down on 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.280 these young cornerbacks as you are. I think neither. I 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.680 think they've given up. They've given up some plays. But yeah, 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.960 that's that's what quarterbacks are not going to be perfect. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.000 These are not is not none of them are deon 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.720 I know. And so I look at it and say, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.920 I actually feel pretty good about where they are right now, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.040 about the quarterback position without Scandrick. I'm not saying I 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.560 don't feel good, but I think looking forward, I think 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.000 you've got a couple of guys that that you know, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.760 you had to They didn't make the playoffs either way, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.600 so you got to learn. These guys got to play 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.560 on the run, uh and and learn and and you know, 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.120 they've get given up some some game winning touchdowns, they've 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.280 given up some plays, but they keep fighting. I think 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.480 Jordan Lewis is I think Jordan Lewis is probably the 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.600 most talented guy back. Yes, I actually think Cheetos a 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.400 guy like the most out of them. I would move 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.400 him to safety. But personally, I like break the tide 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.200 Dave Oh. I like Cheeto at corner, and I think 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:14.120 he's the most physically gifted. But I think Jordan's got 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.600 that like it think that you need to have to 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.720 play corner. I'm not saying Cheeto doesn't, but I've seen 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.400 it more from Jordan. Yeah. Um, but I mean Cheeto, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.080 He's he's freakishly athletic. I mean, and he's got he's 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.680 got good size. I like him at corner. If if 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.560 if safety is that big of a deal, which I 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.160 think it is, I would draft a guy. But anyway, 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.080 I kind of think you could flip the Byron Jones 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.960 and and Cheeto and do it in the off seat. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.360 I don't want to see Byron at corner. Well, where 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.360 do you want to see him? I want to see 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:46.720 him question play one more year the Bears one one 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.600 more year as like a dime nickel hybrid guy, and 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.400 let him ben and then I agree, well, or or 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.680 depending on what his market is, maybe you bring him 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.600 back like you did mo on a on a very 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.880 agreeable But that's that's the point. Like right now, he 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.640 hasn't done anything in my opinion to earn the starting job. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.280 He hasn't done anything in my opinion, to earn a 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.880 new contract, a next contract. So he's got another year. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.040 Let's see what happens, and then if if he has 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.920 a great year, then maybe you reevaluate it. I just 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.680 don't think i've seen anything yet that suggests that either 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.680 at corner or when he's played at corner when he's 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.240 played a safety. To me, he's been just a guys 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.680 like Combine was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.080 because if he doesn't go to the Combine, he's probably 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.760 a third round pick. It just just because he's a 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.960 you know, Yukon and don't know really where to play him. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:34.920 But he's a pretty good athlete and all that, and 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.000 then and then it would everything would work. Then he 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.800 could be a special teams type guy. Nickel guy goes 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.280 around flipping around doing that great play a little bit 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.400 at safety, not be a starter, just kind of nobody. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.480 Nobody would care that this is his role on the 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.240 team if he wasn't a first round Yeah, it's like 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.160 JJ Wilcox type stuff. But probably would be better if 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:58.360 Byron Jones was doing what he's doing as pick number eighty, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.240 which I think JJ was, he would go great about it. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.240 He would be a fan favorite. There's no doubt. Okay, guys, 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.399 let's go ahead and take our first break.
