That means it's almost time for practice. 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we're what two weeks away practice from 72 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: from actually hitting the field, five weeks away now from 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: hitting the field with rookie mining camp and then OTAs 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: and then we're right back into practice time. 75 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: I love that.

Surgeries are scary things, right, 90 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: It's not a for sure thing. You know. People go 91 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: in and they just assume that everything's gonna be okay. 92 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: We are praying that everything's gonna be okay. But y'all 93 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: send him some love because he definitely needs to feel 94 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: the fam. 95 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, we got to talk to him a little bit yesterday. 96 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 4: He was in good, good Spirits was confident of course 97 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 4: in the process, but man. 98 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always tough. No sea confident always, that's what 99 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: the C stands for. Confident. But he is confident, yes. 100 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 5: Patrick, Yes, confident Walker. 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: That's it. 102 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: That's it right off the tongue. 103 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 5: It rolls. This one rolls, baby. 104 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 4: All right, let's get into some news and notes, a 105 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 4: couple of different things to keep in tabs with UH 106 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: in terms of the Cowboys and what they did this 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 4: past week, start with some of the guys that left Dallas. 108 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 7: A notable name missing from that list, Kyle, I don't 109 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 7: think we got to talk about him last week, Okay, 110 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 7: Jalen Tolbert goes to the Dolphins. 111 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think it happened before I show last week, 112 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: but we didn't talk about it. 113 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: I don't think we talked about it. 114 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, not a big topic of conversation last week. 115 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean you talked about some over two years ago. 116 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: Was your leading touchdown? Yeah? Yeah, seven two years ago. 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: And I know he's never he has never been the 118 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: big name around here, but put some respect on what 119 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: he did two seasons ago. He led your team in touchdowns, 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: which is I don't care what you feel about him. 121 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: That was huge for him. Obviously last year somebody came 122 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: and took a spot. That's what this league is about. 123 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: It is about competition. And now he finds himself not 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: being reinstated here with the Cowboys, but he gets an 125 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: opportunity with another team, right, And that's the thing you 126 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: interview for thirty one other teams which put on film, 127 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: somebody most likely is going to be appreciative of it 128 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: and feel as if you can be a contributor to 129 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: them in their program. So now him and Malik will 130 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: let's get to become best buds. 131 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 7: I thought it's interesting that he's probably one of your 132 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 7: top receivers for Miami now considering the trade that they 133 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 7: had last week. But it's tough because Tolbert, like you said, 134 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 7: contributed in touchdowns the year prior last year and a 135 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 7: contract year lost his job to Ryan Flinoy. I think 136 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 7: that more show more so says what Flinoy was able 137 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 7: to do and how he's able to make that leap 138 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 7: in a second year. But for me, at least, Tolbert 139 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 7: was kind of more the same. He was a reliable 140 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 7: pass catcher at times, he made a lot of really 141 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 7: clutch receptions. For you, but I don't think the run 142 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 7: blocking was there. I don't think the you know, the 143 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 7: mantra last year was compete every day. I don't think 144 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 7: that he was necessarily. I'm sure he was competing, but 145 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 7: I just mean like he was obviously overtaken by Illinoy 146 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 7: and probably the biggest reason why he's not here as 147 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 7: a number four receiver because Flinoyd took that job. 148 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, let me start by saying, I enjoyed covering Jalen Tolbert, 149 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 4: and he was always very good to us, and he 150 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: was always somebody that was willing to talk and was 151 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: very insightful when we had those conversations, and he was 152 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 4: very open about some of the hard stuff too, especially 153 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: like early in his career when he was talking about 154 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: how he didn't feel like he connected enough with Dak 155 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: and he wanted to be a right hand man to 156 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 4: him and be a reliable target. And he did to 157 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 4: a certain extent build himself into that at certain points 158 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: in the year. 159 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: But the consistency was a problem. I mean, he had flashes. 160 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: He had one of the best catches of the twenty 161 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: twenty five season on the sideline against the Packers. 162 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: Late in that game. 163 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: He made plays and he's capable of doing so. But 164 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: the consistency was where it fell short, and it was 165 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 4: it was one. If it wasn't one thing, it was 166 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: another thing. If it wasn't the connected connection with Dak Prescott, 167 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: it was a lingering injury. If it wasn't a legering injury, 168 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: it was his understanding of a scheme of a play 169 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: calling standpoint or a loss assignment. Or he wasn't blocking 170 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: well so he wasn't getting playing time. When it gets 171 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 4: down to that, that's where I tend to have less 172 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: of a patience with a wide receiver who was a top. 173 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: One hundred pick. 174 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 4: He was picked eighty eighth overall in a time where 175 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 4: Dallas really needed another wide receiver to step up, and 176 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 4: they anticipated him to do that immediately. And I loved 177 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 4: his college tape out of South Alabama. I was very 178 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: much so a high proponent and a high supporter of 179 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: drafting Jaylen Tolbert in the third round there, so at 180 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 4: that point I thought he would come in and contribute, 181 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 4: and he did, but not to the level that you 182 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 4: would anticipate from a third round guy. And then you 183 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 4: get a guy like Ryan Filinoy who comes out after 184 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: being a later round pick and does exactly what you 185 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: needed Jayaln Tolbert to do. And now he's kind of 186 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: the one that overstepped him. And that's why Jaylen Tolbert 187 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 4: is no longer a Dallas Cowboy. 188 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I didn't mean to turn this into talking Tolbert, 189 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 7: but I think it was worth mentioning because of the 190 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 7: contributions that he's made as a Dallas Cowboy. You've won 191 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 7: games because of James Colbert, Like there's no out about that, 192 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: that game winning uh touchdown in Pittsburgh, Like, I will 193 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 7: big one to you for a long time. It was 194 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 7: a big play by him. But uh yeah, moving on 195 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 7: to some other names. I mean brock Hoffman as well. 196 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 7: He signed with the Pittsburgh yesterday officially. 197 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Is that is that a fisial the table? I like Hoffman. 198 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: I understand that, you know, obviously they want to move 199 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: on from him. I trust this coaching staff because they 200 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: have two offensive line coaches on this coaching staff, so 201 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: it's not just one person making this decision. I'm sure 202 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: that they came together and collectively said, yeah, we both 203 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: feel the same way about this particular thing or his 204 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: this particular shortcoming or this lack of development in this 205 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: particular area, and they felt confident enough to move on 206 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: from him. Losing him and Rob Jones doesn't necessarily make 207 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: me feel awesome in terms of depth. Those are those 208 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: are I would have liked to have retained at least 209 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: one of those guys. And people will look at Rob 210 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Jones and be like, well, he never even had a 211 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: chance to play here. Yeah, he got hurt early in camp, right, Yeah, 212 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: and he. 213 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 7: Got hurt helping other like rookie linemen that that presence. Yeah, 214 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 7: it's a terrible circumstance, but he was showing out in 215 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 7: camp to a point where I was like, I'm surprised 216 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 7: this guy's not starting. I would be surprised if this 217 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 7: guy is not starting in week one. Granted that the 218 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 7: line was what it was at the time, but yeah, 219 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 7: it's a sucky situation when he goes to a rival 220 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 7: at that and then. 221 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: Peyton Turner goes to Detroit. 222 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: So those are three guys that were on the back half, 223 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 4: and with Turner and Jones, both of the guys, those 224 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: guys never really ended up playing just because of injury 225 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: and what ended up happening there. But they are all 226 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: off the roster. Cowboys did re sign Corey Ballentine, who 227 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: came on late in the year last year, that that 228 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: was really kind of their one addition or retainment in 229 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: the roster this past week. Are you guys a little 230 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: disappointed on the back end? 231 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 7: Okay, maybe more than a little, Yeah, maybe more than 232 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 7: a little. 233 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: How much would you equate it to what would you 234 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: equate your disappointment? 235 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 7: You know that meme where it's like the guy that's 236 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 7: like poking the thing with a stick, Just do something, 237 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 7: do something. 238 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: I feel like that. 239 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 7: I have felt like that the last two weeks because 240 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 7: you have still not addressed linebacker in any former fashion. 241 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 7: I'm very frustrated with that. Obviously, they have a plan 242 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 7: going into the draft, but like we've talked about here 243 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 7: the last three episodes, it would be nice to have 244 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 7: a veteran presence behind there, a coach on the field 245 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 7: that is able to contribute to the linebacker room and 246 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 7: also be a solid player at that I'm not saying, 247 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 7: you know, it needs to be a world beat or 248 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 7: anything like that, but you just need consistency there, and 249 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 7: you don't have size to speak of at linebackers. 250 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 3: So I'm just very. 251 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 7: Confused at the approach there. But you know the Christian 252 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 7: Parker's defense, he obviously has a plan. 253 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. 254 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 7: I don't have that ball knowledge at this point, but 255 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 7: to me, it is just frustrating that I feel that 256 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 7: position currently has been undervalued in free agency. I know 257 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 7: they attempted to go get their guys, but I mean, I, 258 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 7: along with most of the of the fans, feel like, 259 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 7: you know, there should have been a backup plan. At 260 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 7: least you should have at least three or four guys 261 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 7: that you would have gone to get had the one 262 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 7: player that went to the Raiders not worked out for you. 263 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very difficult for me to foresee Dallas moving 264 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: forward through this draft utilizing both first round picks now 265 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: in the draft to acquire two players. With the lack 266 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: of acquisitions that they've had this offseason, I can't foresee. 267 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: I can't foresee them utilizing both picks and being okay 268 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: with the remainder of the picks they have in this 269 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: year's draft to fill the voids that are on defense. 270 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: And you have one Day two pick now, I mean 271 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 3: one one. 272 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: So you know what I'm saying, Like I was hopeful 273 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: whether they are big names or just you know. I 274 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: think they did a good job of feeling positional needs 275 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: in terms of contributors, right. We made that. We had 276 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: that conversation, right, either you're going to get big name, 277 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: big spla guys or I felt like they were after 278 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: like that first wave. I was like, Okay, they're no 279 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: longer going to go get a big splash guy, but 280 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna get multiple guys that can contribute right consistently. 281 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: And I feel like they started doing that right. You 282 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: got a safety, I got a nickel, all those things. However, 283 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: there are still a lot of voids that are that 284 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: need to be filled, especially with the change in scheme. Defensively, 285 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: those positions of need are nowhere near near field, and 286 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: I can't I can see them using the first picking 287 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: the in the first round that we have. Was it twelve? Yep? 288 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: But was it? The next one is twenty twenty. I 289 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: can't see them using one in twenty. I are twelve 290 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: and twenty. I can see them using twelve. 291 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: You're saying you would use it to go get you 292 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 4: have to approve in commodity. 293 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: I think that you have to trade one of the 294 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: trade the twenty to go get multiple players in the 295 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: second and the third. I just don't there's not a 296 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: saying to acquire more, to acquire more draft you because 297 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: you just don't have enough pieces. And if there are 298 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: guys that you believe that you this is what I believe. 299 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: I believe that they're going to try to go through 300 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: this draft and whatever decisions they're going to make, right, 301 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: I believe that they're going to try to feel those 302 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: voids after the draft like most teams do, right, they say, Hey, 303 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: let's see what our team looks like after the draft, 304 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: and then let's go fill those voys. I don't want 305 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: to be in that position again. I feel like I 306 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: told you this. I think that mister Jones and Steven 307 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: Jones are in this tug of war of mister Jones 308 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: really wanted to go want in two past tense now 309 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: to go grab some high, highly claim claimed guys, and 310 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: then Stephen Jones kind of pulled them back and kind 311 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: of pulled back to what we've always known Dallas to do, 312 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: is like, let's go to the discount double check, and 313 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: I feel like, there's this I want to do this. 314 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm no, let's go back to our old way. No, 315 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: let's stay true to who we are, but we and 316 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: now you find yourself in a position where it's like, Okay, yeah, 317 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: you made a couple moves, but you're still looking at 318 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: saying we still don't have enough guys. 319 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the plan was there. 320 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 7: I think the plan was there to go get the 321 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 7: guys that you're talking about, the guys that that. 322 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: You would think Dallas would want to. 323 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously the interest was there for several guys, 324 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 7: but there wasn't that final like we're gonna make that 325 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 7: final bid to get this guy because this is the 326 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 7: guy that we want contributing on our defense next year. 327 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 7: To me, I would have used free agency to kind 328 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 7: of fill out the room. Granted, you're overpaying in a 329 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 7: lot of positions, but I think there are guys that 330 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 7: are contributing and not getting paid, you know, an exorbitant 331 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 7: amount of money. I feel like you could have filled 332 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 7: those holes enough to say, like today, if we're playing 333 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 7: a game today. 334 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 3: We're not playing a game today. 335 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 7: Obviously, but it's like we have a roster we feel 336 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 7: solidly enough about playing today if we had to, and 337 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 7: then using the draft to get even better guys to 338 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 7: take you over the top that didn't happen. You're now 339 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 7: relying on the draft yet again to get those guys 340 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 7: on the field, and you're relying on youth in a 341 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 7: big way. 342 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think you bring up a good point 343 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 4: talking about the plan that was there. I believe going 344 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: into free agency they were willing to spend, and they 345 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: spent more than they have in the past, so I 346 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 4: give them a little bit credit. There is the high 347 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 4: end stuff that we kind of wanted to see. No, 348 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 4: was it the crazy moves that they wanted to make, No, 349 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 4: it wasn't. However, I agree with you in the fact 350 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: that there's kind of a fundamental breakdown somewhere in free agency. 351 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: And I forgot who said it. 352 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 4: Somebody said it the other day, and I agreed with 353 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: part of what they were saying. 354 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Part of it I didn't agree with. 355 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 4: But what I did agree with was when you haven't 356 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 4: been in free agency, players in free agency recently, and 357 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 4: you all of a sudden decide to go play in 358 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: free agency after not doing so for the better part 359 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: of a decade, there's going to be things and nuances 360 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 4: and negotiation tactics that you aren't sharp on. 361 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 5: And that's what ultimately happened. 362 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: In my opinion. 363 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 4: I think they did want to get involved. I think 364 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 4: they wanted to push for all of this based on 365 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 4: not just conversations that we had with Jerry on the 366 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: bus or Steven Indianapolis, but the top to bottom, the 367 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: entire organization felt like they were going to make some moves, 368 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 4: and I think they attempted to do so, or they 369 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: wanted to do so, but there's a fundamental breakdown at 370 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 4: some point in time where they decided to make a move, 371 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 4: but they weren't ready. 372 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: To make a move, if that makes sense. 373 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's where I think there was a falling 374 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 4: through the cracks. Now you added some solid names. I 375 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 4: love the Jalen Thompson signing. I've said that already. 376 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: I like what they did with Kobe Durant and with 377 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: o Tito Albonna. I like those signings. 378 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 4: Are they as good as going and getting a blue 379 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 4: chip drusher, which they haven't done, or a starting caliber 380 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 4: linebacker which they haven't done. 381 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: No, it's not. 382 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 4: Those are good moves that are going to make your 383 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 4: team better in the long run, but you need other 384 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: moves to supplement that outside of the draft, and they 385 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: haven't done that. So that's where my disappointment lies in 386 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 4: the off season. 387 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: I look at it is a math equation to me. Right, 388 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: you lost a number of starters or you know you 389 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: lost Osa was a starter, Solomon was a rotational guy. 390 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: Who else did we lose? 391 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 3: But what was also starter in this defense? 392 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: Right? No? I mean he probably has he would have 393 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: would have because of his price. Right. But so you 394 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: so you replace you swap Osa with a Rashan Gary, 395 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: You acquire a Thompson who's a starter. You acquire PJ. 396 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Lock who's a starter. You acquire Kobe Durant who's a starter, 397 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: and O Tito is a starter, I would imagine right now, Okay, 398 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: right now, so you have four starters that you brought 399 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: in on a defensive side of the ball. All good stuff, 400 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: all good stuff. Okay, So now as well, you know 401 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So now you go into the draft, 402 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna your your number twelve pick is gonna be 403 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: another starter, okay on defense. Okay, So now that'll be 404 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: how many five starters? That'd be five starters that you 405 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: acquired going into this season that you did not have 406 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: last season. You're gonna need I feel like you're there's 407 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: so many more holes to fill right. So I'm saying 408 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: like that that number twenty. I feel like as much 409 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: as you can go grab another impact player, you can 410 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: get one impact player, But what does your depth take 411 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: a hit on? You know what I mean? I mean, 412 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: so I don't know what a twentieth is worth. 413 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 4: And that's that's where I have the same agreement with 414 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 4: you here, because all the guys you're adding are starters. 415 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: But are they blue chip starters. No they're not. They're good, 416 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: solid players. So that's where you could have depth if. 417 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 4: You end up getting those blue chip guys. You end 418 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 4: up getting those starters that are contributors right off the bat, 419 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 4: or veterans that know how to do it and have 420 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 4: been there and done that and. 421 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: Things of the sort. 422 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 4: There are no more linebackers on the the NFL dot Com. 423 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Top one hundred and one free agency. 424 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 5: Which that mays so sick, there's nothing there. 425 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: It's just, yeah, that hurts me. 426 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: You're in a bad spot at linebacker unless you I mean, yes, 427 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: you're at a bad spot at linebacker. But like, go 428 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: please just go get Bobby serious at this point, like 429 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: just go go get them cite somewhere. 430 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 7: No, No, maybe it's a situation where he's waiting till 431 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 7: after the draft to find his value somewhere. 432 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Don't let him have the pick of the litterate. Don't 433 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: let him. Don't let him. Like, seriously, you should have 434 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: had him three years ago. You know what I'm saying. 435 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: You should have had them three years ago. You chose 436 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: not to. You just you chose to extend vander Ash. Yeah, 437 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: that's that was your choice. It was vander Ash or 438 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner. You you chose vander Ash. And now he's done, 439 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: Bobby's still going when you're thirty seven, it's still falling. 440 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: That's right. 441 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 4: I think the league is waiting to see what Bobby 442 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: wants to do. 443 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: No, I understand, and he deserves that right. And he's 444 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: going to be playing somewhere. He's gonna be starting somewhere 445 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: because he's just he's still playing at that level. Like, 446 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: just don't wait. Like you missed on the Lloyd, You 447 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: missed on all you know, Nikobe Dean, you missed on 448 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: all these other bona fide contributors and big time players. 449 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: Go get a guy that's still doing it. Like, is 450 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: he as young as you want? 451 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 6: Heck? 452 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: No, can he still play? Yeah? 453 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 4: Either you know what I'm saying, Like, and even if 454 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 4: he doesn't play as much as he has in the past, 455 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: what he's going to give you is significant in its 456 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: own right. With the bang for the buck, right, he's 457 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 4: going to give you some quality snaps might I mean 458 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: as many snaps as they've had in the past. 459 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 5: He's going to give him quality. And when he's not playing, you. 460 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Know what, he is going to give you wisdom. 461 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 4: Knowledge and wisdom and all the the IQ that you 462 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 4: cannot teach from playing thirty seven years in the NFL, 463 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 4: like Bobby Wager has. 464 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: I've got to have that level. I just don't want 465 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: it to get to after the draft and everybody's trying 466 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: to make the same phone call, like I would much 467 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: rather get him, right, have him, and then go get 468 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: a linebacker in a draft, and now you feel good 469 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: about your front seven, right, and it's like, okay, now 470 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: we still need we still want to get one more 471 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: or two more pass rushers. Right, they can get out 472 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: of the quarterback, but at least you're not forcing things 473 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: into a position, you know. 474 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, one hundred percent. 475 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 7: And I feel like like you're saying, he has the 476 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 7: knowledge that will bring added value to the linebacker room, 477 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 7: especially when you're going there's no doubt you're going to 478 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 7: draft linebackers one hundred percent. 479 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: You're going to do that. 480 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 7: Why not have a guy that can teach him how 481 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 7: to do? Like who better to learn from than a 482 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 7: Bobby Wager? 483 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: Come on, I mean, we can stand on the table 484 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: as much as we want inside the podcast studio, but 485 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: they al only are gonna have to want to do that. 486 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 4: And there have been so many opportunities in the past 487 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: where they could have added Bobby Waxes and they have 488 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 4: not done. 489 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I come across your table. It's like dog 490 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: gonna being at the dog on a sushi restaurant. It's like, 491 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: should I get that thing on a little what do 492 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 1: you call it? The conveyor? Bet It's not a conveyor, 493 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: Betty goes by, But you had the second time sushi restaurants? 494 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: Is isay? 495 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 3: Are you going to get it wrong? 496 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 7: How many times are you going to see him go 497 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 7: to another team and still contribute more so than any 498 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 7: of the linebackers you currently have in your team. 499 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree with you, but now I'm sure 500 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: that I don't know if they do. 501 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 7: There's a big reason why the Commanders don't have him 502 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 7: on their roster anymore. Sure, I mean he's he's he's 503 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 7: unreliable in coverage right now. Yeah, today's Bobby Wagner doesn't 504 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 7: do that very well. 505 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: But you know what he does. He tackles and a 506 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: surefire tackle. 507 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: We've we've talked about this before on the show too. 508 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 3: A need into three four kind of maybe a little bit, 509 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. 510 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 4: But Christian Parker has been very It's been noted by 511 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 4: multiple people within the organization that he has a very 512 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 4: specific idea of what he wants. He's not going to 513 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 4: to to waiver on anything that he's doing building a roster. 514 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: He is going to get what he wants. And if 515 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: he doesn't want a Christian Parker made a Bobby Wagner type, 516 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: then he's probably how. 517 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: Many draft picks this year? This year? Yes? Eight? Seven? 518 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: Seven or eight? And how many are eight now with 519 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: the trade? Okay, so eight draft picks? And how many 520 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: are below fourth or below fifth round? They've got four? 521 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: So you got four top fours or top four yea 522 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: in the top for five rounds something like that, right, 523 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: four picks in the top five rounds? Yeah, yeah, well 524 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: to one in the top five rounds two, one, three, four, Yeah, 525 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: and then you've got three fives. Okay, so Christian Parker, 526 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: you need to go get some more guys. 527 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, And of course it's like. 528 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: That's not to say the guys in the draft are 529 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: going to come in and play right now, but the 530 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: probability is low. Like there's there's there's some teams put 531 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: more emphasis on rolling the dice on draft picks than others, right, 532 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: And I think what you're seeing right now is the 533 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: league is really starting to change and we're seeing this 534 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: within trades. There's been more trades than has ever been. 535 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: Teams are starting to rest their their their they're wallets 536 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: on proven players, right. It's not the discredit guys that 537 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: are coming through the draft that have to prove themselves. 538 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: And some guys may hit right now. Some guys may 539 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: hit on their second or third team. 540 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 3: You don't you're. 541 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: Seeing you know, teams are tired of waiting, right, and 542 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: some teams are more tired than others. Go get you 543 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, I know what he's going 544 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: to do. Right. It may not be everything I want, 545 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: but I know what the productive productivity I'm going to 546 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: get out of him. And then I go get the 547 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: guy that I hope turns into, you know, whatever it 548 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: is that we project them to be. I don't want 549 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: to go hope, I really go no hope and too fair. 550 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 7: I know we're talking a lot about Wagner, but there 551 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 7: are other guys that have been reported that the Cowboys 552 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 7: are interested in trading for. We can't necessarily name those 553 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 7: names right now, we can't talk about them, but I 554 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 7: underst standing there is a plan there. They're not saying 555 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 7: like we're not going to address itself. 556 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 557 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 4: I think there was a plan agency too that was 558 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 4: Plan A, this Plan B, and this is kind of 559 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 4: what they're happening, or it might even be C or 560 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 4: do you who knows? 561 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Well? 562 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 4: They have a plan moving forward, but we just got 563 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 4: to find a way to make that happen, and whether 564 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 4: or not they're willing to part with some of these 565 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 4: draft picks to do so. I do want to talk 566 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 4: about the NFL Draft, and when we come back, I've 567 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: got a question about trades post draft and how that 568 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 4: may have influenced the way that the Cowboys attacked this 569 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 4: free agency and whether or not you guys agree with 570 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: that or not.

And I was told that 629 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner conversations were erroneous. 630 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: Nonsense, nonsense. 631 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: I want people at home to understand. Yes, the NFL 632 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: will tell you oftentimes that you're old. The NFL will 633 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: tell you oftentimes that you're washed up. NFL will tell 634 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: you oftentimes that you don't have any more to give. 635 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: There are some outliers. I'm not sure if people a 636 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 1: lot of times when they tell you that they're probably right, 637 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: they're probably right. But there's certain guys that gotta come 638 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: along that really don't know along with that. Bobby Wagner 639 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: is one of them. Bobby Wagner in his fourteenth season. 640 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: Fourteen at linebacker that seems like a lot. 641 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: At linebacker, interior linebacker, fourteenth season for the Washington Commanders 642 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: last year, played all seventeen games. Availability is kind of important, right, 643 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: Best ability is availability seventeen games as a linebacker somebody 644 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: who's responsible for hitting people and placed fifth overall in 645 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: the NFL and tackles in. 646 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 3: The NFL like all. 647 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: The players, I mean, even the guys that are like 648 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: rookies and like fourteen years younger, fourteen years less wearing 649 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: tear fifth. So when you guys are questioning whether or 650 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: not this is somebody that the Dallas Cowboys should be considering, 651 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: you might want to just check the rap sheet aka 652 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: no ian, But the check the rap sheet, because this 653 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: duke is still a ball, and if you got one 654 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: year out of him with half of that productivity, you're winning, yes, 655 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: Because what I'm saying is you can spend a twelve 656 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: on a linebacker that you consider to be a sure 657 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: thing that was a dog in college. You can spend 658 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: a twenty on that. But below that, no disrespect, you're 659 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: probably hoping and rolling the dice that that person's gonna 660 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: hit right, No disrespect to all the other draft picks, 661 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: especially in this year's draft where it's pretty deep, right, 662 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: You're you're kind of questioning whether or not that person 663 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: can come in and be that guy. Some guys can, 664 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: some guys can't.

Linda, the tight ends coach, was reported 734 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 4: to have dinner with some of the Baylor draft prospects, 735 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 4: including tight end Michael Trigg the quarterback, saw your Robertson 736 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 4: and then Josh Robertson the wide receiver or Josh Cameron 737 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 4: Cameron the wide receiver. 738 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: I like to mention that from Baylor probably one of 739 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: the best offseason retainments. I don't want to say acquisitions 740 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: that we had. 741 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we getting Lunda a lot of love on 742 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 3: the show. 743 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: Ye dub almost left, he was on was gone.

I'm I'm 746 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: pretty sure he had options. Oh he did, and I'm 747 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: pretty sure he chose to stay here. So Cowboys Nation, 748 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: whatever happens on the back And because we're not we're 749 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: not heavy to those conversations or negotiations like give a 750 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: give a nice little handclap to the to the front 751 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: office for finding a way to retain him, because to 752 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: keep to stay as a tight ends coach when you 753 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: had offensive coordinator presented to you, m something happened to 754 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: keep him here. I'll just say that and yeah, kudos. 755 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: I wonder what that could mean. Uh. 756 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 4: I want to continue with with draft stuff here though, 757 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 4: because based on our conversation in the first segment, I 758 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 4: feel like all three of us sit here and we 759 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 4: say best player available is always the goal. 760 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: When it comes to the NFL draft. 761 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 4: Nope, you want to take the you want to take 762 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 4: the best player available. However, when you have holes on 763 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 4: your defense, you are limited in what the best player 764 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 4: available pool looks like. You can't just pluck from the pool. 765 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: When you have to pick a specific type of fish, 766 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: you have to you have to. 767 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 4: So you're still going to see probably the best defensive 768 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 4: player on the board and where they would fit are 769 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 4: there any limitations based on your mindset of where they 770 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 4: can and cannot go with the twelfth and twenty picks 771 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 4: in the NFL. 772 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: Draft limitations, Yes, I would say you do not need 773 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: to grab an interior defensive lineman with those with the 774 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: first round picks. Don't don't grab it for you know, 775 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: you know how I feel about my interior D lineman. 776 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think that you need to. I think 777 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: that you have your two dogs. We'll see what Otito provides, 778 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: but you have two true proven dogs on the anterior 779 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: D line. You have other needs that you can use 780 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: those picks work. So I would not feel great if 781 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 1: they went out and grabbed an interior D lineman at 782 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: that pick. Would you know I would still be okay 783 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: with it? But I was like, ah, you could use 784 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: that to a linem. I could use that the grab 785 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: a dominant corner, use that you grab a D N like. 786 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: I think those are the three positions that I would 787 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: feel better about than interior D line. 788 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 4: Would you be cool making a move for a defensive 789 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 4: tackle at ninety two with that pick you got for Mosa, 790 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 4: kind of replace it with another defensive tackle that fits 791 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 4: your scheme better. 792 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: No, Okay, no, I I want depth. I want depth, 793 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: but not with those picks. 794 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 3: Okay, I would be entirely fine with it. Honestly. 795 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 7: One of the arguments that we had last year when 796 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 7: we're arguing about edge rusher versus defensive. 797 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: Tackle, your strength is super strength. 798 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 3: Make your strength the super strength. 799 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 7: And the fact that you weren't able to extend Kenny 800 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 7: Clark or my goodness, Quentinn Williams this offseason, I think 801 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 7: is part of my philosophy there where it's like, you 802 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 7: don't know how much longer you have these guys, if 803 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 7: they're going to be here past next year, So, in 804 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 7: my opinion, like beef that up as much as you 805 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 7: possibly can and make it the dominant. 806 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 3: Force that it needs to be. 807 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 7: Ipically all all, for all intents and purposes, we've from 808 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 7: what we've learned about Christie Parker's defense so far and 809 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 7: all of the moves that they've made, you're not gonna 810 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 7: be able. 811 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 3: To run the ball in this team. 812 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 7: So to me, make it even more of a of 813 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 7: a competition there at defensive tackle. But uh, oh, Tito, 814 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 7: considering he's more of a deaf guy. Now, if you 815 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 7: draft a guy higher, yeah, make that that strength even more. 816 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: Uh, I would typically agree with you on almost probably 817 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: ninety plus. But because there are actual holes like there, 818 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: I get it. There are not guys currently on this 819 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: roster that I feel comfortable and confident with feeling some 820 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: of these voids with this new system. And though he 821 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: said we're gonna be versatile, we're gonna be We're gonna 822 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: be multiple in the looks. And you want kind of 823 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: Swiss army knives guys that could play multiple positions on 824 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: this defense. You want an outside linebacker that could play 825 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, they could play you know, out, you know, 826 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know safety, and safety that could play corner. 827 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: Like you want guys that are kind of multiple, I want. 828 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: I want guys that can give some flex And if 829 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 1: you're playing an interior DEFENSI alignment, you're just playing interior 830 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: defense alignment. 831 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 7: I think you have the luxury of doing that with 832 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 7: two first round picks. If you decide to use both 833 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 7: of those first round picks, I think you're able to 834 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 7: take the best player available, regardless of the position. 835 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 3: Maybe not quarterback, maybe not sure. 836 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: So you would be okay using a first round pick 837 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: on a backup, A backup. What that's what I'm saying, like, 838 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: if you grab an interior defensilignment, they're a backup. 839 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 4: If you're grabbing an offensive player, with the exception of 840 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 4: maybe running back, it would maybe be a backup. 841 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 3: Guys, I'm talking defense here, Yeah, I'm talking. 842 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 7: So that's play's defensive player available. 843 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 4: I thought not sit here, and over the course of 844 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 4: me covering the draft for this organization, multiple times we've 845 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 4: said they have no choice but to take defense only 846 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 4: in the first round, in the first three rounds, and 847 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 4: then take offensive players in the first round. I can't 848 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 4: sit here and say that it's off the table for 849 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 4: Dallas entirely. 850 00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: It's not. 851 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 4: They could upgrade their offensive tackle spot if the right 852 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 4: guy is there. 853 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: They could add to wide receiver if. 854 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 4: They don't feel confident that George Pickens is gonna stick around. 855 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 4: They could add Jeremiah Love at the running back spot. 856 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 4: Maybe not at twelve, but at twenty if he's there, Holy. 857 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: Cow, would that be fun. Grab a kicker. 858 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 4: I'm just now, I'm just saying, like, as much as 859 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 4: we sit here and we're gonna pigeonhole defense all the 860 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 4: way through, and I completely agree, Yeah, we cannot take 861 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 4: it off the table. 862 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: No, it's not off the table. It's just on the edge. 863 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: It's just light bump is knocking it off. Yeah, exactly, 864 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: just like that, just like that, like that.

The last time the Cowboys 930 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: had two first round picks two thousand and eight, I think, no, wow, 931 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 1: it's been a while. 932 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 4: I shouldn't know that off the top of my head, 933 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 4: but I don't. All right, blind resumes. These are NFL 934 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 4: draft prospects that right now on my list are very 935 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 4: close in terms of rankings, maybe not draft grade, but rankings. 936 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 4: They're what we call touching tag, and they're different types 937 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 4: of players. So I want you to tell me what's 938 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 4: going to fit. Without talking about the name of the 939 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 4: prospector of the school, or what they went through or 940 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 4: did from a conference standpoint or anything like that. This 941 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,959 Speaker 4: is just measurements and some tiny traits to think about 942 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 4: and what they would fit in Christian Parker's defense. So 943 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 4: start at linebacker, and we're trying to get through maybe 944 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 4: two positions here. The first linebacker is six foot one 945 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 4: two and thirty pounds and he's twenty one years old. 946 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: Got it all. 947 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 4: He had eight tackles for loss three and a half 948 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 4: sacks eighty eight tackles in thirteen games against premium competition. 949 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 4: He did not test during the Combine or his pro 950 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 4: day because he had some knee swelling and he did 951 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 4: not want to inflammatory that, but he did go through drills. 952 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 4: He is listed as a green dot potential immediately and 953 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 4: can call the plays on the defensive side of the ball. 954 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: Feel pretty good about it. That are cool? 955 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, Green dots potential. The other linebacker, linebacker number two, 956 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 4: is six foot two, two forty pounds, so a little 957 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 4: bit bigger, a little bit taller than the last linebacker. 958 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 4: He is also twenty one years old. He did test. 959 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 4: He went four to five one in the forty. He 960 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 4: had a thirty seven inch vertical that's ten and a 961 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 4: half inch broad downhill runner, but a tendency. 962 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: To over sell when he runs downhill and he attacks. 963 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 3: You already got one of those. 964 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 1: You got a couple of those. 965 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 3: You got a couple of those. 966 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 4: But those are your two options, linebacker one and the 967 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 4: linebacker two. If you have any questions, I will clarify, 968 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 4: but I will not give hints. 969 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: Speak through that one more time, okay, c J, I 970 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 1: let's breaking go. Well, I'll do it. 971 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 3: For knocking goal. 972 00:44:49,120 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 5: See that I was in his mind. 973 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 3: Not blind anymore. 974 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: Well darned. Yeah, we're so disappointing. 975 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 5: I went through so much this you did to make 976 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 5: this happen. 977 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: I was leaning towards number two? Were you I was? 978 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 3: I was going number one. I don't want the green dot. 979 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: You want the green dot potential. 980 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 3: I want the green dot potential. 981 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 4: They don't necessarily tab the second linebacker as a green 982 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 4: dot potential. 983 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: But yes, J Allen is number one. That is a linebacker. 984 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 5: I'll give you the linebacker too. I'll say six dogs, 985 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 5: six foot two two and forty. 986 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 4: Pounds, twenty one years old. Do you have any guesses? 987 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 4: I know you've listened to the draft show a little bit. 988 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that Rodriguez. 989 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: It is not right. He was another one. I was 990 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: thinking about putting in this organiza. 991 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 4: Or putting in this, but I decided c J. Allen 992 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 4: and Rodriguez from like a testing and a side standpoint. 993 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: Are actually very comparable. 994 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 3: Is that the LSU guy? 995 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 4: No, it is not the LSU guy. Okay, it is 996 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 4: Anthony Hill Junior out of Texas. That is the tomic 997 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 4: and linebacker picked the second he probably would have. 998 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,959 Speaker 1: But which one you would have leaned to. I would 999 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: have leaned to. Like, over aggressiveness doesn't bother me because 1000 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: the only thing that you need for that is. 1001 00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 3: Great coaching discipline. 1002 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you, it's hard to get somebody to turn 1003 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: that switch on if they don't have that switch. I'd 1004 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: rather them have that switch and be able to pull 1005 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 1: them back and say, hey, let the game come, do 1006 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: you You know I'm saying, pick and choose your battles. 1007 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: But like, if somebody does not have not to say that. 1008 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: Most linebackers don't. But if you don't have that trigger, 1009 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: you can't just copy and paste that into somebody's you know, 1010 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: freaking genealogy. 1011 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 3: It's not there one hundred percent. 1012 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 7: But one of the things that I've kind of pulled 1013 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 7: at least from the combine, one of the things that 1014 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 7: they kept kind of repeating over and over, especially the 1015 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 7: Christian Parker side of things, was brain works and to me, 1016 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 7: that green Dot aspect, the fact that he was such 1017 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 7: a cerebral player, to me is indication of where the 1018 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 7: Cowboys would lean. And honestly, that was just a preference 1019 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 7: for me to begin with. 1020 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 4: And there was a comment in the chat that I 1021 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 4: kind of want to clarify a little bit here, Sonny 1022 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 4: wants to said so Kyle, Christian Parker saying that after 1023 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 4: the scheme or altering the scheme to your players was 1024 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 4: just blowing smunk because he wants a specific type and 1025 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 4: I said that in the last segment. He really wants 1026 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 4: a specific type, specific type of player, not necessarily a 1027 00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 4: specific type of build. 1028 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1029 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 4: Right, he wants the serementally, he wants the work ethic, 1030 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 4: he wants all of that stuff. He's not going to 1031 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 4: mess around with anything other than that. From a system 1032 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 4: and an ex's and O standpoint, I think he is 1033 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 4: going to mold to whatever they end up getting. Even 1034 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 4: though a three to four is different. You're going to 1035 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 4: have to find certain guys to fit into that three 1036 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 4: four system here in year one because you've never really 1037 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 4: run that in the past. So that's where that's where 1038 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 4: we're kind of basing the measurements off of compared to 1039 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 4: the type of player that Christian Parker would want across 1040 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:32,919 Speaker 4: the board. 1041 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 5: All right, let's go to corner and I'm going to 1042 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 5: try not to mess this one up. 1043 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: This timmer right right. 1044 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 4: All right, Corner number one, six foot, one hundred and 1045 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 4: ninety three pounds. He does have long arms or longer arms, 1046 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 4: I should say, thirty one and three eighths across the board. 1047 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 4: Ran a four four four forty yard dash in the 1048 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 4: NFL Combine, and he had a forty and a half vertical. 1049 00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 4: He's a ten and a half inch broad jump, and 1050 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 4: he plays with kind of the physicality of a box safety. 1051 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: It's at corner like that. I knew as soon as 1052 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: you say he was six foot, I knew he had. 1053 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 4: To have he had to have some of those things 1054 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,959 Speaker 4: across the board. So that's corner number one, corner number two. 1055 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 4: He is a little bit smaller, five foot eleven one 1056 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 4: and eighty six pounds. He did not run, but he 1057 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 4: did the jumps. He did thirty four inch vertical, ten 1058 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 4: to three broad jump. He did bench as well. He 1059 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 4: had seventeen reps on the bench across the board. Comes 1060 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 4: from some good bloodlines at the position, and he has 1061 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,240 Speaker 4: a blend of athleticism inside to play size, to play 1062 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 4: inside or outside, and he did play both inside and 1063 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 4: outside during his time. 1064 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 7: One would you argue the second one is undersized in 1065 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 7: general or kind of the h what you already have currently. 1066 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 4: Like what you already have in terms of boundary corners. Yeah, 1067 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 4: I would probably probably put him in the same category. 1068 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,760 Speaker 4: I would play him a nickel and I would love it, okay, 1069 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 4: and I think he would be an awesome nickel. 1070 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 3: Would you argue you already got your nickel. 1071 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 1: In Jalen Thompson. 1072 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 4: No, oh, in Kobe Durant, Yes, similar type of player, 1073 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 4: but this guy says. 1074 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: More of a dog. 1075 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 3: Give me option one. 1076 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: Option one. Yes, that is Colton Hood out of Tennessee. 1077 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: Colton Hood thought. 1078 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 4: To be maybe more of an option at twenty than 1079 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 4: he would be at twelve. Yes, but still a very 1080 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 4: viable cornerback option. Let's say you miss out on Monsor 1081 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 4: de Laine at twelve, who's probably high and above the 1082 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 4: number one corner in the NFL draft. If you miss 1083 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 4: out on him at twelve and you miss it, let's 1084 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 4: say you don't want to go with your mom McCoy. 1085 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 4: Who's the other Tennessee corner who's coming off of an injury, 1086 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 4: hasn't played in a year, that kind of thing. Then 1087 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 4: twenty could be where you take your corners, and that's 1088 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 4: where Colton Hood. And then number two is x Avion 1089 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 4: Terrell from Clemson, who I really do like and I 1090 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 4: think he would be a phenomenal nickel and if you 1091 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 4: need it him to go outside, I think he's Deron 1092 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 4: Bland two point zero. That's who I think he and 1093 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 4: I think he's more polished coming out of school. 1094 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,720 Speaker 1: Than versatility guys. They can play safety and cover. That's 1095 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: what That's what I believe that Christian Parker is going for, 1096 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 1: because you want to be multiples. You want to be 1097 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 1: able to have three safeties in the back. You want 1098 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: to be able to have you know, your nickel, your dime, 1099 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, no matter what the offense puts 1100 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: out there. We have a guy that can cover you, 1101 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: and we have a guy that can come up and hit. Yeah. 1102 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: So a couple of different options for you? Which one 1103 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: we're watching one? 1104 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 4: You were leaning toward one, you were also leaning toward one. Okay, 1105 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 4: there you go. 1106 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: Well what about you? What would what would your I 1107 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: have Colton Hood ranked higher. 1108 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 3: Do you think he's going to be there twenty though? 1109 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I think so. I think you would. I 1110 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: have them touching tags. 1111 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 4: Colton Hood is my corner four, uh and Terrell is 1112 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 4: my corner five okay, behind Delanne McCoy, and then I 1113 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 4: have Brandon CSA at three. I think I might flip Hood, 1114 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 4: depending on I want to watch a little bit more 1115 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 4: tape of these guys, but I might flipped the two. 1116 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: But I have I have c say above Hood in Terrell. Nice. 1117 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,399 Speaker 3: Thank you Kyle. I like that game. 1118 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah we may let's keep doing with that.
