24
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: I saw it before we went on the show. Amber

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: was taking some medicine, some medicine because she wasn't feeling great.

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Nick was like wiping his nose because it looks like

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of got a little something going on. So

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: it's good that we're all in different locations. At least

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: we'll keep each other from from getting sick. And yeah,

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: it's either toilet paper or or tissue for Unick. I

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: don't know, like one or the other. Right, I'm always

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: going to bring something. Where is that toilet paper? Maybe

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: we've used that? I don't know. Have you guys used it? All?

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: You need some more? We running low? No, not running low.

35
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: I've got I've got plenty, I've got all right. Good. Well,

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the schedule release the

37
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys tomorrow night. Actually, the entire NFL is going to

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: be pushing forward releasing the schedule for the twenty twenty season.

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Their intention, the intention of the league is that they

40
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: are going to approach the season as though they're gonna

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: play a full season, and so they're gonna release the

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: schedule to morrow night. For the first time, each team

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: will be allowed to release the schedule at six thirty.

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: So we'll be releasing our schedule to morrow night at

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: six thirty. So make sure you check out Dallas Cowboys

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: dot com, Cowboys Mobile, any of our social channels. We

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: will have a live show where we will release the

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: schedule that we will cast across all those different platforms.

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: But the question I have for you guys, is we

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: already know the opponents. We know who the Cowboys will

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: be playing next season, just to give you an idea.

52
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: At the home schedule, we know the Cowboys will play

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: the three division teams. They'll also play the Cardinals, forty

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: nine Ers, the Browns, the Steelers, and the Falcons. And

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: then on the road they'll play the three division teams

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: plus the Seahawks, the Rams, the Vikings, the Bengals, and

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Which of all those games do you think

58
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: is most intriguing to you? Well, I guess even if

59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: you had a couple of games that you kind of

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: bunched together, what's most intriguing to you about the opponents?

61
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have next season. Let's start with you, Dave Well.

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I have an inkling, just

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: a just a hunch that I think there's a very

64
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: good chance the Cowboys are going to be the team

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: opening the Rams News Stadium in Los Angeles. There's been

66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: buzz about it for months. Jerry Jones just had a

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: twinkling as I talking about it at the Combine back

68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: in February. And Jerry Jones is a pretty persuasive guy.

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: So I think there's a good chance that happens. And

70
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: if it does, um, what a spectacle that would be.

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, we know how impressive at and T Stadium is. Uh,

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: this is the you know, the new you know, the

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: next big thing. It's going to be the next greatest

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: stadium in the NFL. I guess. So that'll be cool.

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: Uh Selfishly, I've never been to Baltimore, So going to

76
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore to watch the MVP, the reigning MVP, Lamar Jackson,

77
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: and then obviously get to see my guy Joe Burrow

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: in person next year, so that's fun too. So that's

79
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: three that I've got my eye on. All Right, I'll

80
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: take Ravens. I'll just do one and I'll say, Ravens,

81
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the one. I think that could be

82
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: the season opener actually, and I just think playing you know,

83
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and going up to Baltimore place the Cowboys are,

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the stadium the Cowboys have never won at, will be

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: will be an intriguing, intriguing matchup. I could see that

86
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: being very early in the season. Camber Well, um, I

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: would say I want to see them play with the

88
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: still just for the Spanish content, honestly, just for pure

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Spanish content, Cowboys versus Steelers. But I am excited about

90
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: the Rams. Hopefully it's a better experience than the last

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: few times we've been over there, because that sucked. But

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what they've turned that stadium into.

93
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. I'm looking at the schedule and

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: if I had one game that really intrigues me a lot,

95
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: it would be the Cardinals just because with their addition

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: of DeAndre Hopkins and what they were able to do

97
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: last year offensively. You started to see as the season

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: war on, they were starting to get that offense going

99
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. You had a guy who I think

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: is at least top three wide receiver in the NFL

101
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: and playmaker in the NFL. I think that's gonna be

102
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: a really really high flying, high scoring offense there in Arizona.

103
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: So that's gonna make it interesting. But I say that

104
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: because I think when you look across all the opponentsy

105
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys next year, man, it's gonna I know, Dave, you

106
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: guys talked to the Daft Show about this whole concept

107
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: of the forty burger. They may need that because they're

108
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: playing a bunch of teams that can put up some points.

109
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: You look at the Cardinals, you look at the Falcons,

110
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: you look at the Seahawks, you look at the Bengal

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm at the Bengals, I'm sorry, the Ravens,

112
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the Rams, and then there's some teams like the Browns

113
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals who have a lot of talent offensively.

114
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: On any given we could show up and score a

115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of points. I just think that overall, the Cowboys

116
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: are gonna play some teams that can score, and the

117
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys gonna have to score in order to match or

118
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: play some really really really stingy defense. This could be

119
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: a really interesting season, you know. Obviously, the discussion continues

120
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: to go about Dak and how good he is and

121
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: how much money he deserves. He's gonna have a great

122
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: chance to prove himself again. I mean obvious, you're gonna

123
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: play good cornerbacks every year, but it's interesting how many

124
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: members of like the young class of cornerbacks are on

125
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the schedule, from Kyler Murray to Baker Mayfield, the new

126
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: number one pick Joe Burrow, Daniel Jones and maybe Dwayne

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: Haskins who were just drafted, the reigning MVP Lamar Jackson,

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the arguable MVP Russell Wilson. It's just a i mean,

129
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: the you know, the face the next face of quarterbacks

130
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL is all over the schedule. It'll be

131
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: fun to see how Dak stacks up against that just Dak,

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: but all the defense. I'm very curious to see how

133
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense is gonna look like and perform against

134
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: some of these other offense in the NFL, because based

135
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: on what they just didn't do, you know, of last year.

136
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that this year with the new coaching staff,

137
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: they're able to actually pump up the game and perform

138
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: better and to the expectations that we were expecting them

139
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: to play last year, and they didn't you know, you

140
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: gotta watch out for the Giants too. I mean, because

141
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: you know the Jason Garrett is the offensive coordinator. You

142
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: say what you want about him being here, t shirts whatever,

143
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: He's an good offensive coordinator. He's gonna have some good weapons,

144
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: and he's got arguably one of the best running backs

145
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, one of the most dangerous players there.

146
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: So you know, with Daniel Jones coming in there, I think,

147
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants will be a tough matchup for

148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I always are here. Two. Yeah he did,

149
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean he did, yeah, and it was good and

150
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: he was good. I mean the offensive coordinator he was good,

151
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean really good. So yeah, he's he's a good

152
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for sure. So that that that that was

153
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: a problem for the Cowboys, I mean for other teams

154
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: when he was offensive coordinator and running the offense. So yeah,

155
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: you're right, he had that. Here the chair point, I

156
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: actually think he was a better go ahead, Dave, No, no,

157
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, Derek. Now, I was gonna say to your point,

158
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: I think he was actually a better offensive coordinator than

159
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: than maybe even a head coach. I think he was.

160
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: I think that offense was really really good. When he

161
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: was an offensive coordinator. And I actually wonder if the

162
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys did themselves a favor and they when they made

163
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: the decision that he was going to step away from

164
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: being the guy to call the plays, because I think

165
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: that's when you started getting into a lot of other

166
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: things where where the offense. You know, you get into

167
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: the Scotland Ahan year and then years, and I just

168
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if they were better with him

169
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: not calling the plays and they were with him calling

170
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: the plays. Let's go ahead and move on and talk

171
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about the quarterback position. Cowboys made a

172
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: decision this week that or last week that I actually

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: really loved, and I want to hear your opinions. They

174
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: signed Andy Dalton to one year deal three million dollars.

175
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I think what he's being compensated. I think he can

176
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: get up to as high as seven million withincentives. I'll

177
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: ask you guys a very simple question. Do you think

178
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: this was a good move for the Cowboys? Let's start

179
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: with Amber. How can he not be I mean, there

180
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: is no way you can argue that it was a

181
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: bad move. I loved it completely unexpected Honestly, I did

182
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: not expect to see the Cowboys pull something like this.

183
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy, he has the experience. You know.

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: You Some people are arguing, Okay, does this mean that

185
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: they can use this as leverage to negotiate with Dak

186
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: when it comes up about his contract, And I don't.

187
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if that necessarily plays a role into that.

188
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: But what I do know is they back themselves up

189
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: whatever the reason or case may be, whether that decides

190
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: to hold out, or whether he gets injured, whatever may happen.

191
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: He is a guy that can definitely step in and

192
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: play a game, make it happen. The Cowboys haven't had

193
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: a veteran guy with this kind of experience, at least

194
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: not since I've been here. So that's really relieving and

195
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: good and refreshing to see the Cowboys do something like this,

196
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: because I truly think they really needed someone with experience

197
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: behind Dak. Nick. To me, you know, it's like changing

198
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: your car insurance. Have you ever switched her out? Like yeah, okay,

199
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: like you hope it doesn't even matter. You don't see

200
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: a big difference. Yeah you made a change, but you

201
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: don't see a difference. That's what I hope the Cowboys

202
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: will have here. Yes, it's a good backup, veteran backup.

203
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: It's funny how if you were to say two weeks ago,

204
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: a week ago, what's your thoughts on Andy Dalton, everybody

205
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: would be like, no, as the backup, You're like, oh, yeah,

206
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: it's the backup. So if he plays, that could be

207
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: a problem. But but you know, he's never had this

208
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: type of offensive line and weapons really around him, so

209
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: you know he might be pretty good in that. But

210
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: I just you know, as a backup. Sure, it's it's expensive,

211
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: but it's should be an upgrade. But again, you hope

212
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: that he plays as much as Cooper Rush played. That's

213
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,239
Speaker 1: the beauty of it that it's it's not it's not expensive.

214
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: It's so cheap for a guy that started one hundred

215
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: and thirty games. It's they're only paying him nine hundred

216
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: thousand more then they were paying Cooper Rush, who has

217
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: thrown three NFL passes in a real game. They got

218
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: him for three mill and you know there's playtime incentives

219
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: and if if he plays and they go to the playoffs,

220
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: he could get up to seven. That's still a bargain.

221
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: The Texans are nine hundred more than what one hundred

222
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: more than what was what was Cooper rushmaking. They're paying

223
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand more there. They were gonna pay Cooper

224
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Rush two point one million dollars and you think they

225
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: were gonna pay I mean, they hadn't paid him yet. Well,

226
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: they hadn't paid him yet. He had never made that

227
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: much money. He got a tender for two point two

228
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: but he hadn't made that much. He didn't sign it.

229
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, he signed it, but he didn't

230
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: get any money until the week one. That's what I'm

231
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: saying is they hadn't going to pay him that they like,

232
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: that is what they were going to pay their backup

233
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: quarterback until they switched him out. Debatable either way. Either way,

234
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit more. It's a lot more

235
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: than they were paying their backup quarterback last year. So

236
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of money for a guy, you

237
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: hope where he's a ball cap the whole year. That's

238
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I just disagreed because again, like Dalton's

239
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: making way less than a lot of other backups in

240
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, Like that, the going rate for

241
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can step in and win and potentially

242
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: win you games. Is a lot of money. The Saints

243
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: are paying Taysom Hill sixteen million dollars and he's not

244
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: even their preferred number two or hasn't been, so I

245
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: just I think it's an absurd discount. Yeah, I mean

246
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope he doesn't play. But to get

247
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: that kind of deal on a guy that's been to

248
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: three Pro Bowls, um, it's it's freaking awesome. And it's

249
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: so refreshing that the Cowboys were like, ah, maybe that

250
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: guy's better than our guy, as opposed to we love

251
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: our guys, which is what we heard for a decade. Um.

252
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: It's really cool to see them step outside of their

253
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: comfort zone to try to improve their roster. That was

254
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: the most the most refreshing part was cutting Cooper Rush

255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: on Monday. Not not nothing against him, It's just that

256
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done that before. They would have sat

257
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: there and wait, well, let's see what happens, and then

258
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: he has to go to camp and get no snaps

259
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: and then see if there's a you know, a job

260
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: waiting for him. At the end, you know, they cut him.

261
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: They knew there would be somebody in New York waiting

262
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: for him, so you know, it worked out. Do you

263
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: think that that part of that was that they they

264
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: really like Denucci and they want to see how much

265
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: they can develop him. And they know with four guys

266
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: on the on the roster, they're they're just not going

267
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: to get a lot of opportunity, or actually five. I

268
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: think there's another quarterback on the roster for training camp,

269
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: but they just wouldn't get enough. They'd have too many

270
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: bodies to really get a chance to see what de

271
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Nuci could do. Yeah, I do think that I think

272
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: that Denucci's got a really good chance to be the

273
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: third quarterback, especially now that they've added two spots on

274
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the rosters. Fifty five spots on the roster. I mean,

275
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: that just makes it more sense to have a third

276
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: quarterback there. But I guess I mean, but Clayton, Clayton Thorsten,

277
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, don't forget him. Yeah, So let's take it

278
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: a little different direction. Let's back up a little bit

279
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton. Why do you think he made the

280
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: decision to come to the Cowboys. This is a guy

281
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: that's I think is fairly accomplished as a quarterback in

282
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: the NFL's played a lot of Football's gone to the playoffs,

283
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a playoff win, but has played on some

284
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: pretty good offenses here in his career. Why do you

285
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: think he chose the Cowboys where he's behind a guy

286
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: who notoriously doesn't get hurt. Where there are probably situations

287
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL where maybe he could have gotten an

288
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to go in and maybe compete for a starting job,

289
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: or even be behind a quarterback that may have a

290
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: little more injury concerns that that gives him maybe better

291
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to being able to get on the field. I

292
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know how long is this contract for one year

293
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: deal that you know, I don't know. It's hard to

294
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: gage that because um I won't I won't lie. I

295
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: did think about Kyle Orton when he when he signed,

296
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: because I just thought, you know, that was interesting too,

297
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: when Kyle Orton signed a few years ago as the

298
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: backup when he had seemingly some other options, and you wondered,

299
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he just doesn't want to do that.

300
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't want to compete. He's just he's okay being

301
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: the backup. I don't know if that's the case with

302
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. I've never met him. I don't know anything

303
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: really about him other than what he was doing. And

304
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: since so one year deal probably just a chance to

305
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: come back, to come back to the Metroplex area, and

306
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: it's where he's from, and you know, maybe turn that

307
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: into something else. But I don't know. Maybe this was

308
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: this was a better situation for him, but where he

309
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: is mentally that he just wanted to be here. I've

310
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: been thinking about this a lot, and I don't know

311
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: it for sure, but I wonder how much COVID nineteen

312
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: played into this decision, because this is where Andy Dalton lives.

313
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: He owns a home here, he's here, he's been like

314
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: for years, he's been here in the off season, like

315
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: he is very familiar with the area. Obviously he went

316
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: to school at TCU, And I just wonder if you

317
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: look around at the options, and you know, if there

318
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: had been a place that wanted him to be their

319
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: clear cut starter, maybe you do that. But if you're

320
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: looking around and the best bet you have is we'll

321
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: give you a chance to compete, but you've got to

322
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: uproot your family too. And I'm just using I'll use

323
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: Seattle as an example. I don't need to know if

324
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: they offered him a spot, but You're like, well, am

325
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: I really going to try to move my family to

326
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Seattle and figure out how to get the kids in

327
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: school and find a home and all this other stuff.

328
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: And there's a pandemic and nobody can go outside, and

329
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: that just sounds exhausting to me, And you think, you know,

330
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: you look at the offer on the table and you say, oh,

331
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: I can take one year deal where I already live,

332
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: where I don't have to do any of that, and

333
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: I can reassess the situation next year when everything's fine,

334
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe I get a chance to play

335
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: and improve my stock, or at the very least, you know,

336
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: I'll kind of get to polish my image being with

337
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: a more successful franchise. I just you know, I wouldn't

338
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: be surprised if that was a big part of the

339
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: thought process. He did mention on the Adam Schepter podcast

340
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: that he did have several options and he chose the

341
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: cow Boys. Um, And I think I think that's part

342
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: of it, Dave. I do, I really do believe that

343
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: part of that is right now. I think there are

344
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: probably now he's probably not the only player in the

345
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: NFL that, because of the limited travel and that sort

346
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: of thing, that they just they're making decisions that are

347
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: somewhat short term to give them their best opportunity for

348
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: right now, knowing that, uh, you know, you're just trying

349
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: to see where you can fit in for this year

350
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: and then with the hopes that next year they're a

351
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: little bit more, uh, they're a little bit more opportunity,

352
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: more opportunities to travel, opportunities to get out a little

353
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: bit more and kind of see what your options are,

354
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: um and then make a better long term decision. At

355
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: that point, he did also mention that there was some

356
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: value to him in coming to UH to play with

357
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: a coach like McCarthy who has had so much success

358
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, because that that ultimately can maybe help him

359
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit better at what he's doing and

360
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: how he's preparing as a quarterback. And I mean, oh sorry,

361
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: just I mean, thirty two is not old for an

362
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he

363
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: can turn this into one more meaningful contract. Teddy Bridgewater

364
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: situations a little bit different because he had that gnarly injury,

365
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: but he wound up in New Orleans and got a

366
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: nice deal to be their backup after sitting there for

367
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: a year, like they paid him pretty handsomely to not play,

368
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: and then he gets a chance to play five games

369
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: last year, you know, Suven in for Drew Breese and

370
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: turned that into a huge contract to be a starter.

371
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: So there's no telling what could come out of this

372
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton just being here for one year. Well,

373
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: Amber you mentioned it a little earlier. There have been

374
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: there's been talk up there and lots of people talking

375
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: about it one way or the other on whether this

376
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: really affects negotiations with Dak Prescott on a long term deal.

377
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: I'll ask you guys that question. Nicholas, start with you,

378
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: do you think that the signing of Andy Dalton effects

379
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: or allows the Cowboys a little more leverage when they're

380
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: negotiating with Dak Prescott. I don't think it allows any leverage.

381
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I just think gives them a veteran that if Dak

382
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: isn't going to participate in some of the off season things,

383
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: or maybe it's gonna take longer for him to get

384
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: in there, they have just more of an option. But

385
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: you know, also, I think the biggest part of this

386
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: whole thing is just the fact that it's philosophy changes

387
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: it's just the quarterback. I mean, it's a backup quarterback

388
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: that McCarthy wanted. This guy drafted it, you know. I

389
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: mean they didn't draft or he drafted Aaron Rodgers or

390
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: cut Brett Farve when he had Aaron Rodgers, and you know,

391
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: they were drafting quarterbacks all the time. He views quarterbacks

392
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: differently than what we've seen before. So I just think

393
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: it's it's all about that. I don't think it changes

394
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: the leverage and the Cowboys trying to sign him. They

395
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: know what they want to pay. They just don't want

396
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: to pay Dak to be the highest paid quarterback in

397
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. They don't think he's deserved it,

398
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: and I don't either. I can't imagine how this gives

399
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys a substantial amount of leverage. I mean, if

400
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: if they think that having Andy Dalton allows them to

401
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: like hold firm on their number, I guess that's fine.

402
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: But like if Dak Prescott is like the alpha elite quarterback,

403
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: top tier guy that we're arguing about, Like, if he's

404
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: that guy, I hope he's not intimidated by having Andy

405
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Dalton on the team, like I would hope Dak's reaction

406
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: to this signing is okay, what's that? Like? What am

407
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: I supposed to be scared of that? Like? I would

408
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: hope that that's his reaction. Um, I don't think this

409
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: does much of anything. The other thing, I feel like

410
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: I keep saying this and I hope people, I hope

411
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: it's getting through. This is not a Zeke situation. Um,

412
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: if Dak, if Dak and the team don't have an

413
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: agreement by July fifteenth, that's it. He's He's all he

414
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: can play on is the tack he So theoretically he

415
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: could hold out if he wants to kiss goodbye to

416
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: two million dollar game check every week. He could do that.

417
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: We watched Levon Bell do it two years ago. I

418
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: just don't think it's likely. So you know, today ask

419
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: this question, did I saw that that line of thinking?

420
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: And again I'm not thinking that he necessarily will do

421
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: this because I don't know if it's Dak's way. But

422
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: even if he's gonna play and get those game checks,

423
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: he still could sit out during training camp and that

424
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: does put a certain amount of pressure on the team

425
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: to sign him, because during training camp is when you

426
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: want to be installing this new offense or not a

427
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: new offense. But you have a new coach, you want

428
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: to be installing the offense, you want to be getting

429
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: ready for the season. Does that not create some pressure

430
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: If he decides he wants to hold out during training camp,

431
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: I will gladly eat these words. Dak Prescott would have

432
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: to be an idiot to sit out of training camp,

433
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: because again, Zeke sat out of training camp because he

434
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: was trying to create leverage to get a new deal.

435
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: If Dak doesn't show up to camp, there's nothing the

436
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys can do about it, Like they cannot give him

437
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: a new deal after July fifteenth. So at that point,

438
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: all Dak Prescott is doing is hurting his own earning

439
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: potential by not practicing. So if he goes out, it

440
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: looks like crap because he didn't have a camp. It's

441
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: on him. There's nothing the Cowboys can do. So if

442
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: he wants to do that, I think it would be

443
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen. And

444
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Dack's not an idiot, So I just don't think it's

445
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: going to happen, and I will gladly come back and

446
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: eat crow if that's the case. But this is gonna say,

447
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: like to me, I don't think that this signing of

448
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: Andy changes anything. It just, if anything, it gives you

449
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: a sense of comfortness, you know, whatever the reason may be.

450
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: You have a veteran guy out on the field throwing passes.

451
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: You don't have Cooper Rush the one calling the offense

452
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: and throwing passes. Even if that's just in practice. Let's

453
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: say the training camp scenario does happen. I feel and

454
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: if I was the Cowboys, I would feel so much

455
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: more comfortable having a guy like Dalton out there rather

456
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: than a Cooper Rush who really doesn't have much experience. So,

457
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: if anything, it just gives you a plan B in

458
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: some sense of comfortness, rather than just having a guy

459
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: like Cooper Rush behind as your backup guy. That's that's

460
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: a good point. I mean, when Deck comes off the

461
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: field and he's like, hey, what'd you see, Cooper's like,

462
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never thrown a pass, so I

463
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, at least Andy Dalton's played one

464
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty games. I mean, I've always thought that

465
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: we you know, we We've said this before. I've always

466
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: thought that was important Having Wade Wilson, Kellen Moore, those

467
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: guys there Jason Garrett. I mean betteran quarterbacks on the sideline.

468
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: That does help, but I don't think it'll be anything

469
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: close to what they he'll get, so he should be

470
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: able to benefit. But really quick, I know we gotta

471
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: take a break. But yeah, I actually changed my stance.

472
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: I do think it helps the Cowboys leverage now, and

473
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: listening to what Dave said in that scenario, yeah, I

474
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: think it changes their stance because it allowed it changes

475
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: their leverage. It allows them to say, we're sticking here.

476
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: We don't have to move up. You need to come down.

477
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: If not, we'll play with Andy Dalton. Then you know,

478
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: can he can he lead us to an eight and

479
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: eight record that Asdak did last year? I mean, I

480
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: mean I think he probably could. I think Dak's way better,

481
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I think it keeps their leverage

482
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: where it is. Do you guys think there is any

483
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: chance whatsoever that Andy Dalton gets in here and they

484
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: see something from him that gives them reason to believe

485
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: they could move on from Dak Prescott and in favor

486
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: of Andy Dalton going beyond this year. Obviously, Dak's going

487
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: to be their quarterback this year, but if they don't

488
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: have a long term deal and it's a one year

489
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: franchise tag, and they start seeing some things from Andy

490
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: Dalton that they like. Do you see any scenario where

491
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: Dak isn't their quarterback of the future? Can I see us?

492
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: Can I see it? Can I picture it? Yeah? I

493
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's very likely. But I mean, who in

494
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: their right mine thought Dak Prescott would take Tony Romo's

495
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 1: job when he did, There's no I mean, you know,

496
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: Dak could hurt himself. And you know, again going back

497
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: to Teddy Bridgewater, people have not that great of an

498
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: opinion of him, and all of the sudden he leads

499
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: the Saints to a five and oh record and he's

500
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: the new face of the Carolina Panthers. So is it possible? Yeah,

501
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know how likely it is. Yeah, that's

502
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: a good point. I mean, if Brees doesn't get hurt,

503
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Bridgewater doesn't get the chance to probably get a deal

504
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: like that. So it's not likely the Deck gets hurt

505
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: because he hasn't yet. But but I don't think it

506
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: would be Dad. I don't think it would be something

507
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: they see in Andy Dalton. I think it would be

508
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: something that they saw or didn't see in Dak if

509
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: he's if he doesn't sign, he struggles, they don't go

510
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: back to the playoffs, and then it's like, well, maybe

511
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: there are some other options here as opposed to giving

512
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: him a long term deal. Yeah, I think I would

513
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: agree with that. Like in this scenario, I think it

514
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: would be more likely that they would say, Okay, Dak's

515
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: not the guy, let's find a quarterback in the draft

516
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: or you know, I don't know how likely it is

517
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: that they give thirty three year old Andy Dalton like

518
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: a four or five year extension, but maybe they decide

519
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: to look elsewhere if this season is unimpressive. Yeah. Yeah.

520
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: The one thing I do love about this, and I

521
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: think you hear it all the time from coaches, is

522
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: you want competition at every position. Most teams don't actually

523
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: do that at the quarterback position because the financial part

524
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: of it usually doesn't allow them to have two viable

525
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: quarterback options. But I love the fact that the Cowboys

526
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: now have some competition, and if nothing else, hopefully it

527
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: pushes Dak a little bit more because there's a capable

528
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: guy behind him. And again I don't expect Dak to

529
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: whether from that. The one thing we've know about Dak

530
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Prescott since he's gotten to the Cowboys is nothing's too

531
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: big for him. The guy doesn't seem to be phased

532
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: by the things that a lot of people get phased by,

533
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: so I don't think it will affect him from that standpoint.

534
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: I do like competition, though, and I do like him

535
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: having somebody else in that room who has the same

536
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: who has more experienced than he does, that can help

537
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: push him a little bit to be even better than

538
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: what he's been in the past. I think that's a

539
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: good thing for the Cowboys all the way around, whether

540
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton sees the field or not. Let's go and

541
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna

542
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: finish up our draft coverage. We had a couple other

543
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,240

594
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: And we're talking about draft here. I know week last

595
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: week we hit up the first four picks for the

596
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys Cteedee, Lamb, Trayvon Diggs, Neville Gallum Way, I'm sorry

597
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: five actually because we got to Reggie Robinson and Tyler Beadish.

598
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: But we are now going to talk a little bit

599
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: about Bradley and I who was the fifth round pick,

600
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: pick number one, seventy nine. And my first question for

601
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: you guys, and I'll direct this from first to Dave,

602
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: it seemed like going into the draft, this was a

603
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: guy that was getting it. Sounded like he was as

604
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: high as a third round grade that gets all the

605
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: way to the fifth round for the Cowboys. What do

606
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: you think was the reason why a guy like that

607
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: is still around in the fifth round for the Cowboys

608
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: to make that selection. Athleticism that was always the knock

609
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: on him, Like he's the classic case of the very

610
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: productive college player that doesn't have the workout that wows

611
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: the scouts. I wish I had pulled this up during

612
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: the break, but his forty time and like he doesn't

613
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: have that quick twitch, crazy athletic says, Yeah, I mean

614
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: seven and a half second three cone drill, which three

615
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: cone is the drill that I always look at when

616
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about pass rushers. I'm still surprised he fell

617
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: that far because again, like this guy was awesome at Utah.

618
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: He was a Senior Bowl MVP, had three sacks and

619
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: a horse fumble in the Senior Bowl, which is obviously

620
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: against some of the top notch talent. Very surprised he

621
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: fell that far, But it's that the athleticism is the

622
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: reason why, Nick, What do you think he fits among

623
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: these defensive ends? Is he come in? Is he an

624
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: immediate starter right in? Where do you think he falls

625
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: in in the I guess the pecking order of a

626
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: of a position. It seems like it has at least

627
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of bodies at this point. Yeah, I mean

628
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that he comes in and competes. He reminds

629
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: me a little bit just I guess so maybe you know,

630
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: geographically whatever where he comes from, but it reminds me

631
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Tyrone Craft just in the

632
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: sense of, you know, he's gonna come in. He didn't

633
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Tyrone didn't wil a lot of people. He was a

634
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: third round pick Boise State, tough guy, could play some inside,

635
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: some outside. And I think that he's gonna come in.

636
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's got to be better than Dorin's Armstrong first.

637
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's where you know he's got to

638
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: be better than him. You'll look at some other guys

639
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: as far as you know, Joe Jackson, Jalen Jelks, let's

640
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: see what they are in their their second year. And

641
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: then of course he got Alden Smith, maybe Randy Gregory,

642
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot of options over there. But he's just got

643
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: to come in and be better than or at least

644
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: compete with Dorin's Armstrong, Joe Jackson, Jalen Jelks to start with.

645
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: But if Aldon Smith is what people think he is

646
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: going to be or what the cowboys think he's gonna be,

647
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: and then I see him as the starter Abra. How

648
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: do you feel about the depth there at the defensive

649
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: end position, because I think coming into the draft, I

650
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: think it was a position that most people felt like

651
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: was still a need for the Cowboys based upon what

652
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: they had. How do you feel about it now? Well,

653
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: it depends because you still don't really know what's gonna

654
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: happen with Alden Smith and Randy Gregory. Are they really

655
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna be able to come back? And if they do,

656
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: how are they going to be performing? I mean, these

657
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: two guys definitely are skilled players. Those are one of

658
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: the rare talented guys that are in the NFL, but

659
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: they haven't been on the field plane for a really

660
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: long time now, and I'm curious to see what their

661
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: level is gonna be once brought on the field. I

662
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: think that if that's the case, if they do get

663
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: reinstated and come back right before you know, when they're

664
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: ready to get started with training camp and be part

665
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: of the whole practices, I think that death wise, yes,

666
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: it's great. I feel pretty good about it, but there's

667
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: just so much unknown, you know, aside from those two

668
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: guys level wise, and then this guy that they just drafted,

669
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: you just don't know what's the learning curve here? You

670
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: see a lot of these guys, man, and sometimes you

671
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: expect them to perform at a certain level. But we

672
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: all know that some rookies have a longer or a

673
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: bigger learning curve than others. So I just don't know

674
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: what's really gonna happen as far as how soon we're

675
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to see them perform well and do

676
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: well in the defensive line. Amber mentions Alden Smith and

677
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Randy Gregor. I'll toss the question to you both, you,

678
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: Nick and Dave, what do you think of the prospects

679
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: of Smith and Gregory actually being able to contribute something

680
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: after being out of football for as long as they've been.

681
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think although go ahead, Nick, Sorry, I

682
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: just you know, it's a tough question to answer. Really.

683
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that you're just hoping that, you know, two guys,

684
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: one of them sticks, one of them is in a

685
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: situation none of Maybe they're they're getting greedy and they

686
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: want them both to contribute, but you know, well, we'll

687
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: just see what kind of shape they're in. Sounds like

688
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Aldon Smith is in good shape. But you know, I

689
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: don't think you can say, well, this is what he

690
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: was when he first started. But if he you know, again,

691
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I go back to not trying to pick on Dooran's armstrong,

692
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: but that's what they have right now, a defensive en.

693
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: So can you be better than that? Because I think

694
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: right now he's the most experienced defensive end they have

695
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: on the other side, unless I'm forgetting somebody you could Putney, Yeah,

696
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: you could put Tyrone over there, and then that all

697
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: of a sudden they're better. But when you throw in

698
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: a third guy, who's going to be the third and

699
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: fourth guys? Yeah, I think that, you know, it's it's

700
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: wide open with a lot of players. I think. I mean,

701
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: with all the stuff we've seen about how he's working out,

702
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: and obviously you know he'd he played for a long

703
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: time in the NFL before his off field transgressions caught

704
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: up to him. If Aldon Smith can get reinstated and

705
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: like stay on the straight and narrow, I feel confident

706
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: he can be like a starting caliber player. You know,

707
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll ever be a pro bowler again,

708
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: but like, I feel like he can play fifty to

709
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the snaps and be fine for you.

710
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: I just I mean, I want to see it to

711
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: believe it really more than anything. But just as yeah,

712
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: I agree with everything Nick just said. I think it's

713
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: the biggest hole on the Cowboys roster right now and

714
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: to get you know, to go back to Bradley and

715
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: I I'm really excited about the pick. I think they

716
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: got great value for him. But for my money, I

717
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: don't think there is a position in football where it

718
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 1: is harder to hit on somebody that's not a top

719
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: tier pick. You know, Like go through the list of

720
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: great defensive ends and find me the guys that were

721
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: drafted outside the top like fifty or sixty picks. There

722
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: aren't very many. This is not a position like wide

723
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: receiver where you can find a pro bowler an undrafted

724
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: free agency. If you can bend the corner and rush

725
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: the passer, NFL teams are going to find you and

726
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: draft you highly. John Ledyard, he's a great draft guy.

727
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: On Twitter, he put out a list, you know, twenty seventeen,

728
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: we talked about that pass rusher class as the way

729
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: we talked about this year's receiver class, like there were

730
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: so many good ones, whether you want to talk about

731
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, Solomon Thomas at the top, of it, obviously

732
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton and TJ. Watt, But the list just goes

733
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: on and on, and three years later, Miles Garrett, who

734
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick, and TJ. Watt are

735
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: the only good ones. They're the only good ones that

736
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: came out of that entire class. So I hope Bradley

737
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: and I is great, but history suggests that it's very

738
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: hard to pull off. The one thing I will say

739
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: is I love the fact that Tyrone Crawford is not

740
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he's gonna be one of those

741
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: guys having to jump between defensive end and defensive tackle.

742
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: I actually would like to see him as a starter.

743
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: And if you could get to a situation where he

744
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: and Tank are your two starters, then you've got a

745
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: situation where you can take Alden Smith and Randy Gregor

746
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: and make them situational pass rushers. I really love that

747
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: because then you can just take advantage of the athleticism

748
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: of those two guys, especially coming out coming back to

749
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: football after being out for so long. You're not putting

750
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: a full full load on them, uh to initially have

751
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: to do everything they can come in. They can just

752
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: use their their athleticism in order to try to get

753
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. I think that helps this team. Um,

754
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: and then you see where where other guys can fit in,

755
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: where Dorn's armstrong can fit in. Nick, I know, and

756
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: I'll let you talk a little bit about Jalen Jelks,

757
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: but I think he's a guy that that maybe a

758
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: lot of people don't talk about, but but maybe he

759
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: has some some ability and maybe a guy that that

760
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: can factor into this. Yeah. I kind of heard some things,

761
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: uh this offseason, dating back to last year, that that

762
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: they had kind of maybe the staff had somewhat regretted

763
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: putt putting him on ir uh for for the whole season,

764
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: hoping that maybe they could just work through his injury

765
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: and maybe he could give them something there at the

766
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: end of the year. But um, you know, he's just

767
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: he's a player that he's got good size to him

768
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: and you know, has some upside. But like Dave said,

769
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: there's a reason why he was drafted, uh you know,

770
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: or wasn't drafted all actually, Um, I forget was he

771
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick? Yeah? Okay, okay, so they all

772
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: kind of they fly in together a little bit. When

773
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: when you when you're talking about the end of the draft,

774
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, there were some reasons why he like he

775
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: fell as well, so it'll be an uphill battle for him.

776
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson, Uh, you know, but you just hope that

777
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: any of those guys stick and the Cowboys have some

778
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, undrafted defensive ends as well that you know,

779
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll factor in pretty quick. And then I

780
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: was gonna say, another thing that makes me wonder is, Okay,

781
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: let's say your guy right now is Dorian's Armstrong, or

782
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: let's say Alden Smith and Randy Gregory come back in,

783
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: but he takes them a few weeks of regular season

784
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: to kind of get back in the groove and the pace.

785
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: What does that create for DeMarcus Lawrence? Then, I mean,

786
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: looking at what he had last year when you had

787
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn and the kind of performance that Robert Quinn had.

788
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, a lot of people and

789
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying de Marcus Lawrence had a terrible season

790
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: at all, but definitely did not perform to the expectation

791
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: of most fans, you know, as far as when you

792
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: look at the contract situation. But what happens there, how

793
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: does that affect the Marcus Lawrence in this season. So

794
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: that creates some concerns there because the whole the whole line,

795
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's a chain effect. You know, you need

796
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: all those pieces to come together in order for them

797
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: to perform well. And when you have one that it's

798
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: just kind of a little oxidated. I don't know the

799
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: right word in English, but you know you need to

800
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: add some grease on there to make it sound good

801
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: and look good. And sorry, that's a bad analogy, but

802
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: you get My point is you need everyone to be

803
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 1: very well greased up and yeah, to be able to

804
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: work well together. So it does. The point is it

805
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: does make me wonder about DeMarcus Loreans and how that

806
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: position there affects his playing time and not time, but

807
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: performance wise, I think that you also have to remember

808
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: that the whole defensive line structure is different. You know,

809
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: you're right about d law You did not have the

810
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: year that everyone expected. It didn't really meet what the

811
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys were paying for there, but as far as stats go,

812
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: but the defensive tackle position is way different now. It's

813
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: a bigger front in the middle, Dontari Poe, Gerald McCoy.

814
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: So those two right there, I think it's going to

815
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: create a different dynamic in what offenses have to look

816
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: at and go, all right, let's pay attention here. They

817
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: didn't have the beef inside that they do now, so

818
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: that that might create different challenges for opposing offensive lines

819
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to saying double team d law We're not

820
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: worried about the guy on the other side. They have

821
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: to worry about the middle now. And not only that,

822
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: but I think I also think that Gerald McCoy will

823
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: be a a bigger presence in the pass rush than

824
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: what you were getting from Malie Collins at the three techniques.

825
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: So I think that combined with DeMarcus Lawrence and then

826
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: whatever you can get on the outside. Let's assume that

827
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: those guys get reinstated, and now you've got those guys

828
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: being able to flip in during pass rush situations. They

829
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: may be able to generate the kind of pass rush

830
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: that they need and that they have they weren't consistently

831
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: able to generate last year. Amber, did you have something. No.

832
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it sounds good, it looks good,

833
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, when you started picturing these guys lined up together.

834
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: But the fact that I haven't seen it happen yet,

835
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them in action just yet. It's kind

836
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: of hard to fully imagine, you know, what this exactly

837
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna look like. But as of right now, it does

838
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: sound great and I'm excited for it. But we'll see

839
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: what happens when they get on the field. All right,

840
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our final break. When we come back,

879
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: to the Break, Welcome back to the Break. We are live.

880
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: We're in our home studios. We are talking Cowboys football

881
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: and Amber has a game for us. Amber, what do

882
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: you have? Well, it's not much of a game. But

883
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: I since we haven't you know, we don't have the

884
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: ability to take phone calls or anything, I did pull

885
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: up some questions that the fans have been sending in

886
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: and I thought we would get through some of these.

887
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: So to start off, we already talked about the drafted guys,

888
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: but we haven't really discussed the undrafted list. Out of

889
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: those undrafted guys, who would you say would be an

890
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: intriguing guy or someone to watch for this training camp?

891
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: Anytime someone that catches your attention, anytime you're talking undrafted

892
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: free agents, I'm I follow the money because they give

893
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: the most money to the guy they're the most intrigued by.

894
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: So for them to supposedly give a one one hundred

895
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: thousand dollars signing bonus to Rondelle Carter out of James

896
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: Madison is crazy. If you think back a few years,

897
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: they signed an undrafted receiver by the name of George Farmer.

898
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: They gave him fifty grand and that was like the

899
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: story of the year, Like everybody wanted to talk to

900
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: this guy because he was the big money receiver. They

901
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: gave Carter double that. And I'm I'm the guy that

902
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: just said you don't find good pass rushers an undrafted

903
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: free agency. But if the Cowboys think that highly of him,

904
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: I am intrigued by what he can do. Yeah. I

905
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: don't have the list in front of me, but I

906
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: think there's a safety out there, maybe Luther Kirk, maybe

907
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: he's his name. Yeah, he's the only safety on the

908
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: Illinois state. So you're talking about that type of level

909
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: that means and a lot of times when you get

910
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: a lower level safety, they could play corner um And

911
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, I remember there were some players that Cowboys

912
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 1: drafted a long time ago that that played division and

913
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: they could play corner. They have that much skill. But

914
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: if you put them at corner, they're just gonna shut

915
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: down that side and they'll never play. So you put

916
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: him at safety where they can go and make plays

917
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: and I believe he does that. For at Illinois State.

918
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: He's the only safety that's been added in the rookie class,

919
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I think he'll have an opportunity unless

920
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: they make more moves, but he'll have an opportunity to

921
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: do some things. You know that, I actually would think

922
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: Rondelle Carter just because I agree with Dave on the money,

923
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: I also look at the flip side of that. Dave

924
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: just said, getting a defensive end that's not a top

925
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: defensive end, the likelihood of them actually doing anything of

926
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: consequences is probably pretty low. So so yeah, he's probably

927
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: the guy you keep an eye on, just because they

928
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: were so hard. They went so hard after him in

929
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: order to get him onto the team. But to be

930
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: honest with you, I don't I don't really know that

931
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: any of those guys really stands out to me as

932
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: a guy that I think has a great shot. This

933
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: is not a team I don't think, based upon what

934
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: they did in the draft and based upon what they

935
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: get in free agency, I don't think this is a

936
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: team where there's going to be a lot of opportunity

937
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: for young undrafted free agents to even make this team.

938
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: So I don't really know that there's that any of

939
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: these guys really end up making a difference. At this point,

940
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: I think the best option is trying to get on

941
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: the practice squad and seeing if you can be or

942
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: becoming a special teams type player, because I just don't

943
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: know that there's enough room on this team for those

944
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: guys to actually make him. Little backstory there on Rondelle Carter. Carter,

945
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: he was a guy that they were thinking about drafting

946
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: in the seventh round, but they took his teammate Ben Denucci,

947
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: and so it probably helped Carter to not be drafted

948
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: because then he gets a high signing bonus for undrafted guy,

949
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand plus part of his salary is

950
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: guaranteed UH in the season, so that's how much they're

951
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: expecting him to be a part of things. I don't

952
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: think he would have gotten some of that if he

953
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: was picked in the seventh round. So sometimes it helps

954
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: to not be drafted. Then you can pick your spot

955
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: and pick your price. I got a I got another

956
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: name I want to throw out there. This is intriguing.

957
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just too much of a football nerd. But

958
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Shiwo alone Lua, the fullback running back out of TCU.

959
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: He's a fullback. I get it. We haven't seen the

960
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys use a lot of fullbacks, but dude, he's definitely intriguing.

961
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: Dude is six three, two hundred and thirty pounds. Uh.

962
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: TCU gave him the rock like he I think he

963
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: had five hundred yards last year. He runs a four

964
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: to six forty at that size, which is pretty impressive. Um.

965
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, I know Jimazola Wally's on the team, so

966
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna make it tough for him. But I'm

967
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be shocked if that's a guy. You know,

968
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: if we play preseason games, he's gonna be the star

969
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: of a preseason game when it's the fourth quarter. Yeah, yep,

970
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: because he can definitely run at I think he's a

971
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: big running back more than he was a fullback. Yeah,

972
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: maybe that's how they're gonna play him. But you're right, Dave.

973
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: He got the ball a lot and he was doing

974
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: it at TCU when he was eighteen years old as

975
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: a freshman. He was a four year guy there and

976
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: he was running over people. Um as a freshman. So yeah,

977
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that he was an undrafted free agent.

978
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: Now can Can we pronounce his name all the time.

979
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know he had a nickname. I'm not gonna

980
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: lie to you. I pulled it up on my computer

981
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: before I said it, so I hope hopefully I didn't

982
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: get it. Well. It just makes me think of, um,

983
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: what was the guy that got last year? I think

984
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: he was that we were all really intrigued about, and

985
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: then they ended up cutting him. And then we saw

986
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: him last year back from Alabama. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

987
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: boo yeah he was a yeah yeah. It reminds me

988
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: of that. You know, you were intrigued by him, and

989
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: then at the end of the day, cut gun and

990
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: see you and then that's pretty much it tough business.

991
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: And then and then first quarter they couldn't tackle him. Yeah,

992
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: go ahead. No. I just that's what kind of my

993
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: point about Bradley, and I's like, if you're drafted outside

994
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: the top four rounds, I would just temper my expectations

995
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen. And I mean, I'm not

996
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: trying to sound like a hater, but that's just math. Yep,

997
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: were you gonna say something else? Nick? I was I

998
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: was saying about both Scarborough. Yeah, cut, you're gone, see

999
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: you later. We'll see you down the road until we

1000
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: get to Detroit, and then we can't tackle you for

1001
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: the whole first quarter, and then you look like bow

1002
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: Jackson running around there. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, that's

1003
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: the guy we cut. Yeah, and then and then Cowboy

1004
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: fans are like, stupid Garrett for cutting this guy. He's

1005
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna go to the Hall of Fame, you know. All right? So,

1006
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: out of the draft picks, which one would you say

1007
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: it would be a Day one starter? Lamb for sure, right, Yeah,

1008
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: that's high from him, because that one's kind of obvious,

1009
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: But that's high from him. When you look at the

1010
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: rest of the drafted guys, who would you think would

1011
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: be capable of being a Day one starter? Capable is

1012
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: the only one, right, well, not capable, because a lot

1013
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: of these are capable, but that will actually beat a

1014
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,959
Speaker 1: day one starter. And I can see I can see

1015
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: the hot take artists on Twitter already hating on this

1016
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: draft class, because honestly, I think Lamb is the only

1017
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: guy that I expect to start right away. I think

1018
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: Diggs could, but I don't think it's fair to just

1019
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 1: say he absolutely should beat out these three veteran NFL cornerbacks. Four. Really,

1020
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: if you throw Warlie in there so to expect him

1021
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 1: to beat them out from day one, I'm not saying

1022
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: he can't, but I don't think it's fair that he should.

1023
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: Same thing goes for Neville Gallimore. I mean, he's not

1024
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna beat out Jerald McCoy. And I know a lot

1025
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: of people talk about Tyler beatish, but I would have

1026
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: to see that to believe it as well. That doesn't

1027
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: mean they're not good. It's just hard to be a

1028
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: day one starter in the NFL. I mean, let's let's

1029
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: not forget that that you know, and you guys know

1030
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: where I stay on this. I didn't think it was

1031
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: as great as everyone said, but there's they did have

1032
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: talent last year. I don't think they were the most

1033
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: talented team in the league and all that, but they

1034
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: have talent. It's hard to come in as any draft

1035
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: pick and and be you know, and knock people out

1036
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: of spots. I think, Dave, you make a good point

1037
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: there with a beaddish. I mean, he, okay, fourth round pick,

1038
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: Remington Award winner is the best center, and now can

1039
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: you beat out a journeyman center who continues to sign

1040
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: one year deals and Joe Looney, I doubt it. I

1041
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,919
Speaker 1: doubt he can, And so that just goes to show

1042
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: just how tough it is to break in there. And

1043
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys don't start out in three three wives

1044
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: in the first play of the season in LA as

1045
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: Dave predicts or whatever, then ceedee. Lamb won't be starting

1046
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Now, technically he'll be your third receiver,

1047
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 1: but that doesn't necessarily mean he will be the starter.

1048
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: Does he run out of the fire in the starting

1049
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: lineup when they blow a fire? You know, I don't know.

1050
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: If they open the season and the multiple tight end set,

1051
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to be beside myself. I will be unhappy.

1052
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: Even Lamb could come on the next play, I won't care.

1053
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: I'll be so pissed off. Yeah, and I'll say this

1054
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: too though, I think the fact that they that that

1055
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: we have all of this stuff going on with COVID,

1056
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: that's that's keeping the players from being in person at

1057
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: the facility. I think that also helps. I mean that

1058
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: also hurts these rookies being able to come in and

1059
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: immediately be starters. I think there's gonna be a premium

1060
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: on that value that that veteran experience, right, because they've

1061
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: done it, they know what they're doing um and and

1062
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: for rookies, it's always going to be a learning curve

1063
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to to acclimating from college to the

1064
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: NFL game. So I don't. I don't expect that anybody

1065
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: other than Cebe Lamb, and Cebe Lamb's coming in your

1066
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: third wide receiver. So I don't. I don't expect there's

1067
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: any of these guys that are immediately going to be

1068
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: Day one starters outside of Lamb getting that third wide

1069
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: receiver role. I don't want to just I don't want

1070
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: to write Digs off completely, though, like I think that's possible,

1071
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: but again I don't. I don't think it's fair to

1072
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: expect that from him before he even practices in the NFL.

1073
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: What I think is possible is that by mid season

1074
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: Diggs as your starter. I don't think there's a huge

1075
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: possibility that going into the season Game one, under the

1076
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: restrictions that we have right now, I have a hard

1077
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: time thinking Game one Digs as your starter over those,

1078
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: like you said, over all those veteran guys you already

1079
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: have there. Now, he might he might be a guy

1080
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: that can come in when you go to three three cornerbacks.

1081
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time thinking he's gonna be

1082
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: ready to be a day one starter on the opening

1083
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: day of the season. Yep, all right. Well, with every

1084
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: season comes new expectations. Every year, you know, fans get

1085
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: excited all over again because of X, Y Z, and

1086
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: then you think, oh man, this is it. This is

1087
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 1: the year we're making it to the Super Bowl, We're winning,

1088
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Okay, with that excitement comes the new

1089
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Obviously, we haven't seen much. The Cowboys have

1090
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: not practice, we haven't been on a fel, we haven't

1091
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: played a single game. But based on the things we

1092
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: have seen so far and heard so far, what are

1093
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 1: your first impressions of Mike mccartthy and what he's doing

1094
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: here in Dallas. Well, I think that what he's doing

1095
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: is it is what he said, is that he's gonna

1096
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's looking at taking the best players. She's

1097
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: not weirried so much about what the scheme looks like.

1098
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: He's taking the best players. We saw that formula in

1099
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: the draft as well, so we saw him. They stuck

1100
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: to the board for the most part, and they let

1101
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: the scouts do the work and then they followed it

1102
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: and they picked really good players. And now we'll see how.

1103
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, they've got really good ingredients. They didn't go

1104
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: with the store brand. They went with the best brand.

1105
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: Now let's see if at what the chefs look like,

1106
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: if they can go cook the meal, but they've got

1107
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 1: the top end ingredients. Yeah, I just think he's I mean,

1108
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: he's hit every correct note to this point, like from

1109
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: the opening press conference, and no idea how it will

1110
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: play out on the field. But I've been so refreshed

1111
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: by what they've done. I mean, going back to the

1112
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton thing. They do not do that. They do

1113
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: not do that. Last year with Jason Garrett, they do not.

1114
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: Cooper rush is still here. No disrespect to him, he's

1115
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: a nice guy. But again stepping outside your comfort zone

1116
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: to improve your roster. Stealing this stat from our friend

1117
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: Bobby Belt, they spent more money on outside free agents

1118
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: this year than the last two years combined. They have

1119
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: changed up their process. It's very obvious drafting Cede Lamb.

1120
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: I think I think they might have drafted Lamb even

1121
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: with Jason Garrett. I don't think it's fair to say

1122
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done that, because if when the draft

1123
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: grade is that absurdly high. I don't think even Jason

1124
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: Garrett gets in the way of that. But it's still

1125
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: been a very refreshing offseason. It gives me a lot

1126
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: of high hopes and you know, we'll see where it

1127
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: goes from there. You know, the biggest thing that I

1128
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: think Mike McCart he has done that's made probably most

1129
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: people excited about him is he's been different. That's the thing,

1130
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: like we look at, you know, kind of his demeanor

1131
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: from that first press conference, and he's the first thing

1132
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: he says, isn't I don't really know what to do

1133
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: with my hands, And you juxtapose that to the guy

1134
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: that was here before that was so buttoned up and

1135
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: so polished and everything had to be exactly and exactly perfect,

1136
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: and it came off to a lot of fans and

1137
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: media as being robotic rather than being authentic. And so

1138
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: initially we saw him as authentic, which was the exact

1139
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: opposite of the guy that he that he was replacing.

1140
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: And then you look at free agency, and they spend

1141
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more in free agency and get some players.

1142
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: A typically in the last several years, they haven't been

1143
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: willing to do. And then you look at the draft

1144
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: and they're going with as McCarthy said, he just wants

1145
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: great players. So it looks like they just go with

1146
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: great players. They don't care so much about the fit

1147
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: that would maybe make a guy a little higher on

1148
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: their board and maybe other boards, but they go with

1149
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: the guys the best available player as as as as

1150
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: what they've told us. And so once again it looks

1151
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: like everything that he's doing is just different than the

1152
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: previous guy. The interesting part will be to see if

1153
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: being different is necessarily better. We don't know that it's

1154
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: going to be better. We know that it's different, and

1155
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: right now, that's all everybody was creating for something different.

1156
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: We just want to see something different because what we've

1157
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: been doing for so many years wasn't seeming to work. Yeah,

1158
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: now to add to that, we're running out of time here,

1159
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 1: and I'll save the rest of the questions for next time.

1160
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: But do you know me, You know I always try

1161
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: to read people and just observe people and see how

1162
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: they behave and act and talk. Initially, with that first

1163
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: press conference that Mike McCarthy had, I was like maybe this.

1164
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I liked him. He's funny. I like that you can

1165
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: see some human aspects of him. But then I was like, well,

1166
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: maybe he might be a little soft, like a little

1167
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: too nice for what I want on a head coach.

1168
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: But then through the time that we've been gone through

1169
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: right now, I've seen different little fiery moments where I'm like, Okay, yes,

1170
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: yes he has it in him. I see some aggressiveness

1171
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: in there in him. So I'm excited to see that

1172
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: that combination of both. And like you said, Derek, just

1173
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the fact that it's someone new, someone different, a new voice,

1174
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and I think that hopefully the guys in the locker room,

1175
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you bring someone else in that you're

1176
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: that you don't know, usually you tend to impress them

1177
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: and want to do better just to you know, be

1178
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: on their good side. But so I'm excited as far

1179
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: as the whole new change with everything. I don't know

1180
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: what kind of guy Mike McCarthy is. I mean, I mean,

1181
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how fiery or soft or whatever. But

1182
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: somebody told Jason Wittena he's not coming back. And I

1183
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: don't think it was Jerry. I mean, I mean, I mean,

1184
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I think Jerry wanted him, but you know, somebody kind

1185
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: of said, hey boy, let's let's move on from from

1186
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: the greatest tight end that the Cowboys have ever had.

1187
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, thanks a lot. Yeah, that's

1188
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: not a soft person. Doesn't do that for sure. Now,

1189
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: And you know what he's done that with Brett Farve.

1190
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean he did that in Great Bay. So he's

1191
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: I think he's he's the guy. And you guys said

1192
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: it best. I mean it's changed. That's what they needed that,

1193
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: they needed a different voice, and he's definitely doing that

1194
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: and his actions are speaking louder than his words too.

1195
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, guys, we appreciate you join us. We're gonna
