Speaker 7: We are back here with the full crew. I am

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 7: hosting today despite Derek being here. He decided to what

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 7: do they say, throwing the towel or whatever today, but

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 7: I'm taking over. But no, no, this last two days,

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 7: y'all have been working on a very exciting pro that's

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 7: gonna come out later on. So that's something to look

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 7: forward to, something very very exciting for all the fans

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 7: out there. In the meantime, this week and last week

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 7: was very very busy, and especially yesterday, a lot of

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 7: new signings and all that. We'll get to the combine

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 7: and what happened over there, but wanted to start off

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 7: with the main thing that's happening later today. Zach Martin.

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 7: He's gonna hold his press conference for his official announcement

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 7: of his retirement, which is tears under my eyes. But

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 7: that's gonna be happening live at eleven am this morning,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 7: so right after the show, you guys can tune in

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 7: on Dallas Cowboys dot com and watch that. So for now,

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 7: we're gonna go ahead and talk about Osa, the first

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 7: contract that came out. Initially, it was expected or talks

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 7: were going around that the Cowboys could potentially franchise tag him,

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 7: but they ended up working out a deal and signed yesterday.

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 7: And the total deal is for four years and a

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 7: total of eighty million dollars and with fifty two million guarantee. Nick,

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 7: since you're looking right at me, let's start with you

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 7: and in your opinions and thoughts on this contract that

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 7: the Cowboys were able to do with a key player

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 7: in the defense.

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, when I went to bed on Monday night, I

41
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 8: was preparing for a franchise tag situation because obviously yesterday

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 8: was the deadline at three pm Central time to get

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 8: a franchise tag done. And what that would have basically

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 8: done for the Cowboys is it would have put a

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 8: placeholder on Osa to guzero for the twenty twenty five season.

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 8: And it still would have allowed them continue those long

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 8: term negotiations for a long term deal going into the future.

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 8: But it also in some ways kind of would have

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 8: set a floor at twenty five million, because that's what

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 8: that franchise tag was. So if you're looking at from

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 8: the team's perspective, there's some urgency to get that done

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 8: before the franchise tag, and that's what they did. And fans,

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 8: if y'all do, if y'all did not like Osa to

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 8: Guzuo before, I think y'all should a little bit more

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 8: coming into today because this is a team friendly deal.

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, this is four years,

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 8: eighty million dollars. Had he waited until free agency and

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 8: had he been able to push that into March twelfth

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 8: and still been on the open market at that time,

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 8: he could have gotten nine figures out of this ordeal.

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 8: There were teams that were expected to show high interest

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 8: in him, teams that need a defensive tackle, but also

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 8: Digizua wanted to stay in Dallas, and there was a

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 8: thought around the organization when the season ended, it was like,

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 8: hey man, we've loved having you around here, but we

66
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 8: don't think we can afford you. He's like hoh, wait up,

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 8: but let's see what we can work out something. And

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 8: sure enough they're able to work out something. Also, Digiz

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 8: do a big time team friendly deal and on top

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 8: of that, it's only a six point twenty five million

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 8: dollar cap hit in twenty twenty five. That is massive,

72
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 8: massive in a good way. It allows this team to

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 8: do a lot of things. It allows them to walk

74
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 8: through a lot of doors, a lot of doors that

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 8: they walked through yesterday.

76
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 9: I think that this goes to show you, though, when

78
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 9: you have an agent that will work with you, and

79
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 9: that's really the most important thing. It always is about

80
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 9: a two way street. Sometimes you catch agents that are

81
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 9: you know, they're really like, listen, we got to do this.

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 9: We got to make sure that we got all these

83
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 9: things covered. Not that Osa's agent wasn't prepared and ready

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 9: and they had an idea, but you do. If you

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 9: have a very good working relationship with an agent, you

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 9: can do a lot of good things. And so they

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 9: caught a good one on this one. So that's very

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 9: very fortunate. We've had some here lately though, where they're

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 9: very good agents, but they are going to try and

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 9: get everything they can out of the deal and you know,

91
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 9: the player has to also be able to step in

92
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 9: and say what his desire is to be able to

93
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 9: do so good for the agent, good for Osa, good

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 9: for the Cowboys getting that all done. And this is

95
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 9: obviously a player that Matt eberflu says, these coaches have

96
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 9: come into the building. Matt Eberflus a disciple, if you

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 9: want to say, of Rod Marinelli, the three technique is

98
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 9: very very important to his defense, to his scheme, and

99
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 9: he felt like that Osa was.

100
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: A big, big part of that.

101
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 9: It's interesting from a scouting perspective as Nick and I

102
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 9: work on the draft, is this is a really really

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 9: deep class when it comes to one technique's three technique.

104
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 9: So maybe you're sitting there thinking, wow, man, with it's

105
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 9: being so deep, why would they Well, it just shows

106
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 9: you that Ibra Flu's you know, the staff felt like

107
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 9: that this player was more important than any other player

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 9: that could be on that board that they're going to

109
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 9: take in this draft. Not I think they're still going

110
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 9: to take defensive tackles, but it kind of it kind

111
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 9: of puts them in a little bit different direction this

112
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 9: time around.

113
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think Brian, when I when I look at

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 10: it from that perspective. The one thing I think about

115
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 10: is there are a number of positions that I think

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 10: the Dallas Cowboys going to have to address this offseason.

117
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 5: This just gives them one.

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 10: Less option, one less position that they have that they

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 10: have to address in the draft. It doesn't mean they

120
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 10: may not find a player that they like in the

121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 10: draft at the defensive tackle position, but it's one less

122
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 10: position that they have to address. We know there are

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 10: going to be other positions that are very important for

124
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 10: them to address. He threw either through free agents or

125
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 10: through the draft or both. This just gives them a

126
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 10: little bit of clearance. And I'll tell you this, I

127
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 10: think we all agreed on this show. There were two

128
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 10: players and you guys may even have more. But for me,

129
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 10: there were two players going into this offseaing and I

130
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 10: felt offseason that I felt like it was important Dallas

131
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 10: to resign if possible.

132
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 5: One of them is also diggi Zoo.

133
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 10: I think that's a huge win, a huge get for

134
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 10: them to keep him, and especially at the price that

135
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 10: they got him. But in addition to that, I think

136
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 10: if they can get something done with Jordan Lewis, then

137
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 10: to me, I look at this offseason I'm like, Okay,

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 10: they kept the guys they needed to keep. Now we'll

139
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 10: see what other guys they can go out and maybe

140
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 10: improve their team with in free agency, and then what

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 10: are they do in the draft, And let's see if

142
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 10: they can get the right talent put together for this

143
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 10: team in order for them to compete more favorably this

144
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 10: year than they did last year.

145
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 7: Well, moving on to the second guy that they were

146
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 7: able to agree to terms with. I don't believe he's

147
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 7: signed yet, but they've agreed on something. It's a one

148
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 7: year deal with CJ. Goodwin, a guy that's also very

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 7: much a key player to not only like the defense,

150
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 7: but also the special teams. He does a lot on

151
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 7: that side. He's not a flashy player, but someone that

152
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 7: does serve a lot of good What are your thoughts

153
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 7: on this deal and what he brings to this new

154
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 7: set of coaches, Bryan.

155
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: You know, I've had my issues with c J.

156
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 9: Goodwin and and it's it's well known, and you know,

157
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 9: I felt like that this was always a core special

158
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 9: teams player for one specific coach. Coach is no longer

159
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 9: here with us, you know, it's and I don't mean

160
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 9: that as a goodbye you know rip thing. I mean

161
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 9: that he's now with the Tennessee Titans with bones fossil,

162
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 9: and so to me, I was I was a little

163
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 9: bit surprised that maybe that that combination didn't show up

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 9: in Nashville.

165
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: Uh. It just shows you that C. J.

166
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 9: Goodwin wants to be here, he likes to be here,

167
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 9: and you know he's comfortable being here, and so uh yeah,

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 9: it's uh. Schottenheimer has a a history with him just

169
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 9: for him being on the staff. So he understands, Uh,

170
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 9: we'll see with Nick Sours and the new SEC, the

171
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 9: new excimy special teams coach, he might have been watching

172
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 9: tape and saying, listen, Goodwin is a good player. We

173
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 9: can use him, is how we'll use him. But yeah,

174
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 9: once again, another one year deal, another friendly type of

175
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 9: a deal. But I'm always looking to kind of upgrade

176
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 9: that position.

177
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 8: I think if we're looking at it from a training

178
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 8: camp perspective and we're trying to keep an eye on

179
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 8: who's going to be the starting gunners on punt team

180
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 8: and who's gonna be those guys running down guys on

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 8: kick team, I think Jalen Brooks and Marquise Bell have

182
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 8: done more than enough to earn some credit in that respect.

183
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 8: So is it, you know, maybe a situation where CJ.

184
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 8: Goodwin's fighting for a job at training camp. You know,

185
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 8: that's that's probably a question.

186
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 9: He had a sponsor before he had a sponsor. I

187
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 9: don't know if he has a sponsor here or he's going.

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 8: To be thirty five years old next year. You wonder

189
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 8: about that, but they're at least going to give him

190
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 8: that shot.

191
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 10: I have a question for you, guys, do you think

192
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 10: the day of the special team's ace, the guy that

193
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 10: makes the team only because of what he does in

194
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 10: special teams on special teams has changed a bit with

195
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 10: the new rules around kick return with the kickoff, because

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 10: there you don't need the guy that can run to

197
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 10: get downfield and get to the ball. Like still the punts,

198
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 10: it's still you still need your gunners. But is it

199
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 10: a situation where, because there is less opportunity for them

200
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 10: to really make impact, now you're more concerned about giving

201
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 10: that spot to someone who is just a special team's

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 10: ace versus saying, can my fourth wide receiver, fifth wide receiver,

203
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 10: Can my fourth cornerback fifth cornerback actually play that role

204
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 10: really well? And that's because they can do something else

205
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 10: pretty well, it's more valuable to have that than have

206
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 10: a special team case.

207
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 9: Well, Steven Jones and the Competition committee meeting in Indianapolis

208
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 9: is talking about the kickoff rules again, and well, you know,

209
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 9: are they saying, hey, instead of putting the ball in

210
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 9: the twenty five, what if we put the ball in

211
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 9: the thirty five? Are we going to encourage you to

212
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 9: keep kicking it in the end zone? And if you're

213
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 9: playing against somebody like Turpin, Yeah, you know, having the

214
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 9: ball at the thirty five is better than having it

215
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 9: at the forty five.

216
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, kind of a thing. So yeah, I think,

217
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: to me.

218
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 9: This is one of those times where you look at

219
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 9: it and you know, you say, yeah, that might not

220
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 9: mean as much, but the league is trying to force

221
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 9: kickoff returns, and you know, the Cowboys had some really

222
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 9: good success with their kickoff returns, so I would be

223
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 9: encouraged that way. But I also, you're gonna have to

224
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 9: start to cover kicks too, and you can't have the

225
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 9: ball starting off at midfield, so you're gonna have to

226
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 9: have some guys that are able to to to do

227
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 9: those those coverage things.

228
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 4: Uh, you know you need.

229
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 9: But maybe it's too To your point, Derek, is that

230
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 9: you need to find running backs that can play special teams.

231
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 9: You need to find receivers that can play special teams.

232
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 9: You need to you you are taking up a roster spot,

233
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 9: and you are taking up a roster spot on the

234
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 9: game day active, so to have you know, to have

235
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 9: a you know, the Cowboys for a while there, it

236
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 9: seems like they haven't had running backs that have played

237
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 9: special teams.

238
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: You know. You look at with Zeke and others.

239
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 9: I mean, uh, even with uh with you know, with

240
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 9: yeah exactly Cook, you know, even even with Douce.

241
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 8: Vaughan, they tried.

242
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

243
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 9: So what I'm saying it's, you know, if you if

244
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 9: you're if your roster is set up in a way

245
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 9: where you don't have receivers and running backs and others

246
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 9: playing that position, you're going to have to have one

247
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 9: or two guys be specialists.

248
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 5: Yep.

249
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 7: Well, if it was with CJ, I think he feels

250
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 7: a position that would have been filled through free agency

251
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 7: with another player. So it's like kind of getting about

252
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 7: the same thing that you would have found maybe through

253
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 7: free agency with someone else. But in this instance, you

254
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 7: get somebody that already has been here and you get

255
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 7: to keep working with him and coaching him under a

256
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 7: different voice. So potentially it could be a lot better

257
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 7: for him this year and what he can bring to

258
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 7: the table.

259
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 10: Well, let me also say real quick, I want to

260
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 10: say this about CJ. I think this last year to

261
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 10: me was a little different than what he's been to

262
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 10: this point. There was a time when you'd see CJ

263
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 10: on on these these these special teams type plays, what

264
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 10: he was consistently the man downfield making the tackle consistently.

265
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 10: I mean almost every single time. He had the speed,

266
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 10: he had the facility, yeah, all that that it takes

267
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 10: to get down there and get in and make the tackle.

268
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 10: This last year, I think is the first time I

269
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 10: started to see a little crack in that. And my

270
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 10: question is just it was that where we're starting to

271
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 10: see a little bit of age or what we just

272
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 10: seeing a year where maybe it just wasn't his best year.

273
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 10: And it doesn't mean he was a slouch. I don't

274
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 10: think there were situations where he wasn't down there. It

275
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 10: just wasn't like every single time he's the guy making

276
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 10: the play. If you're going to be the special teams ace,

277
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 10: you kind of want to see it every single time, right,

278
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 10: because you're taking a spot only for that purpose. But

279
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 10: my interest is in seeing was last year in aberration

280
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 10: or was that kind of the beginning of the decline

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 10: that happens with every player.

282
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 9: I kind of felt like I saw more penalies than

283
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 9: I did tackles. You know, if he had like he

284
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 9: had four or five penalties. You know, if your guys

285
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 9: the special teams ace, I don't think you can work

286
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 9: through four or five penalties a game on that guy.

287
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 7: Fair point. To close off the all the signings that

288
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 7: occurred yesterday, let's talk about brock Hoffman. He's another one

289
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: who was set to become an exclusive rights free agent

290
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys ended up working out the deal. Signing

291
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 7: the deal with him, what I mean to me, that's

292
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 7: like a sign of relief. You get it said done.

293
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 7: Today we know that Zach Martin is announcing his retirement

294
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 7: and he's the top candidate to become the one taking

295
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 7: over the position. There're still talks about what's going to

296
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 7: happen if you're moving out guys, what's gonna happen with

297
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 7: Cooper Bebe in the center.

298
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 8: But what does this mean for the Cowboys?

299
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 7: Knowing that they have now brock Kaffman set.

300
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 8: I mean, if you look at it, he's a leader

301
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 8: in the clubhouse as far as the guys that they

302
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 8: do have in the building that could be a potential

303
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 8: replacement at right guard for Zach Martin. They're gonna go

304
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 8: get an interior guy in this draft. Sure. Is it

305
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 8: going to be early, is it gonna be late? Who knows.

306
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 8: You're also getting Nathan Thomas back from injury. You haven't

307
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 8: seen what he could do in that interior offensive line.

308
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 8: You also factor in Awesome Richards. You know, he a

309
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 8: guy that they maybe want to slide back inside and

310
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 8: see what he can do with that spot. There's gonna

311
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 8: be a lot of moving around. TJ. Bass too. I'd

312
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 8: be remiss if I didn't mention him. But brock Hoffman

313
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 8: is the leader in the clubhouse with those guys. I mean,

314
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 8: he started seven games last year. He started at center,

315
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 8: he started at right guard. I mean he played so

316
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 8: well at center that the conversation has been brought up about, Okay,

317
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 8: do you move Cooper bv back to guard and do

318
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 8: you put Hoffman at center? And so this is a

319
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 8: really important guy to bring back. He's kind of the

320
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 8: sixth man of that offensive line at worst, and those

321
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 8: six men they certainly get paid. You know, call him

322
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: the Jamal Crawford of this offensive line. I'd take him

323
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 8: every day of the week.

324
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: Explain who Jamal Crawford is for everybody out there.

325
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 8: One of the best six man of all time.

326
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 9: There you go, yeah, you know to me, I have

327
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 9: a lot of respect for brock Hoffman, and I think

328
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 9: he played a lot better than I even thought he

329
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 9: could play. Don't want to play brock Hoffman for seventeen weeks, No,

330
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 9: I really don't. I think where he plays very well

331
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 9: is if he's a five or six game guy and

332
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 9: he could step in he's quality depth that way. I

333
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 9: think Nick's absolutely right. I do think that they're going

334
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 9: to look for a guard here, and it could be

335
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 9: very very early in this draft. So I would be

336
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 9: very mindful and aware of that. If you follow the

337
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 9: draft show, we've been talking about a lot about these

338
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 9: offensive linemen. We've been talking about tackles that could play guard.

339
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 9: But you know, if you listen to the conversations though,

340
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 9: coming out of the combine, it was like they were

341
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 9: pretty much talking about this offensive line, and even Brian

342
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 9: Schottenheimer was talking about Tyler Geidton and you know stuff

343
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 9: like that. So obviously they have an understanding of who

344
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 9: they are.

345
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 11: Uh.

346
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 9: But I could definitely see him adding more pieces, and

347
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 9: I could see him adding a piece at right guard.

348
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would say brock Kaufman is he He is

349
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 10: a player that I think allows them to also be

350
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 10: able to draft best player available. And what I mean

351
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 10: by that is and they talk about this a lot.

352
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 10: They try in free agency and in signing their own

353
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 10: guys to be able to free themselves up on up

354
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 10: on draft data where there is no position they have

355
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 10: to draft at any particular time. That allows them to

356
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 10: be more savvy on draft day because teams ahead of

357
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 10: them and teams behind them don't know exactly what they're

358
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 10: going to have to do at a specific spot. So

359
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 10: this to me is just you get a guy. He's

360
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 10: great for depth if you need to start him because

361
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 10: the draft just doesn't fall to you in that way,

362
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 10: you feel like you could be okay there. So I

363
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 10: think that this signing is as much about the draft

364
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 10: and giving themselves the opportunity to draft the best player

365
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 10: available as anything else.

366
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, they could also be in the market for you know,

367
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 9: there's gonna be names on the free agency list when

368
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 9: that opens up, and you know, March twelfth, when that happens,

369
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 9: we could start to talk about those names a.

370
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: Little bit more freely.

371
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 9: But there are some connected Dots players with with with

372
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 9: Adams the line coach that and maybe a prominent free

373
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 9: agent that he would like to have that is a guard.

374
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 9: But we'll get to that on the March twelfth day.

375
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 7: Let's go ahead and take our first break. When we

376
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 7: come back, let's talk about what's currently happening with the

377
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 7: salary cap around the NFL and what the Cowboys were

378
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 7: able to do to CD's contract, being able to free

379
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 7: up some space there in the salary cap.

380
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

381
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 12: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

382
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 12: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

383
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

384
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has at and T

385
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 12: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

386
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

387
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 12: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

Speaker 7: Welcome Back. This is the second segment brought to you

440
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 7: by blockchain dot Com Ding ding ding. There you go,

441
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 7: Thanks Chris okay uh. To other guys that I free

442
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 7: ought to mention, they just recently pulled the trigger on

443
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 7: that and it was a pretty is the same thing

444
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 7: as Brod Hoffman because these other two guys were also

445
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 7: exclusive rights free agents as well. We got Juania Thomas

446
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 7: and then Tyres Wheat. Why can't you guys tell me

447
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 7: about these two guys.

448
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, one year, Thomas, I think at worst is your

449
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 8: eventual CJ could win replacement. I think at best is

450
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 8: a guy who could legitimately play safety one day for

451
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 8: this team. We've seen him get rotated in. Whenever Donovan

452
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 8: Wilson's had some struggles in the past couple of years,

453
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 8: or if there's been an injury to either him or

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 8: Mollie Cooker. We've seen one Yea Thomas rotate in. He

455
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 8: got a healthy amount of time last year towards the

456
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 8: back half of the season. He's a guy you want

457
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 8: to keep in this building for sure. Also for locker

458
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 8: room camaraderie. I mean, he's a big energy in that

459
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 8: locker room. Guys love him. And then tyros Whet just

460
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 8: another rotational defensive end guy that they've had for the

461
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 8: last couple of years. He was an undrafted free agent

462
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 8: out Mississippi State in twenty twenty three, made his way

463
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 8: out to the fifty three man roster both of these

464
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 8: last two years. Hasn't really played a whole lot, but

465
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 8: he's been really crucial on special teams. So a couple

466
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 8: more special teams yield.

467
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 7: Okay, well, let's go ahead and move on to the

468
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 7: salary cap conversation. And before we get into that specifically,

469
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 7: let's talk about what they did with City Lamps restructure.

470
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 7: They restructure his contract and basically we're able to save

471
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 7: the team twenty million dollars for twenty twenty five for

472
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 7: this season this year. And those are pretty easy move that.

473
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 7: You know, it doesn't mean that city is not getting

474
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 7: his money. He's getting it. They're just pushing it down

475
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 7: the line. Something that kind of made my eyes wide

476
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: open is to see how much the salary cap has

477
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 7: increased for this year. It went from two hundred and

478
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 7: fifty five point four million dollars in cap to now

479
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 7: at record setting two hundred and seventy nine point two million.

480
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 7: You're making that face there like it's nothing. I mean,

481
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 7: I see these numbers. I'm like, WHOA, where all these

482
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 7: dollars coming from? Oh my god. Okay, but let's start

483
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 7: with you, Derek White, open yeah, with your eyes wide open.

484
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 7: What does this mean?

485
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 8: What?

486
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 7: What do you feel this does for the Cowboys with

487
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 7: this year and what they were able to do and

488
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 7: now figuring out ways to uh find room in the

489
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 7: salary and create room in space.

490
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 10: First of all, I thought this has always been expected

491
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 10: that they were gonna they were going to do this.

492
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 10: My expectations will probably do something similar with DK have to.

493
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 10: But but the way I look at it is it's

494
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 10: just giving them money to operate. They there's a lot

495
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 10: of money that comes up the salary cap that has

496
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 10: to happen with your draft picks. They want to have

497
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 10: I assume a little money be able to sign obviously

498
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 10: some of these guys that they want to keep, and

499
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 10: then also my hope, my hope is that they're freeing

500
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 10: up a little bit of money so they can get

501
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 10: a little more active in free agency.

502
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 5: I think after last season.

503
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 10: I think the amount of players that they lost last year,

504
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 10: we saw that the results of that. Once they started losing,

505
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 10: guy's injury, and in this business, you have to be

506
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 10: prepared for injury. And so the hope is that this

507
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 10: year they go a little bit opposite of that. I

508
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 10: don't expect them to be like, We're going out and

509
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 10: getting all the greatest free agents out there, but I

510
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 10: do expect it if they can get one or two

511
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 10: guys that really can fill a specific role for them.

512
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 10: Maybe it's a linebacker, maybe it's a running back, maybe

513
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 10: it's a cornerback, guard, maybe it's a guard. I think

514
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 10: there are some positions where you're like, they can go

515
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 10: out and get a guy that is may not be

516
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 10: the top of the market type guy, but a guy

517
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 10: that certainly can be very solid for you at a

518
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 10: certain position. Then I think they're freeing up the money

519
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 10: to be able to give them Maybe that latitude to

520
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 10: do it.

521
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 5: That's at least my hope.

522
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: Nick.

523
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 9: I don't know if you've heard different from me on this,

524
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 9: but I as much as they'd like to bottom fish

525
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 9: at times for free agents, I heard that maybe the

526
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 9: plan is to look at more the middle of the

527
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 9: pack of the free agents. What Derek was talking about,

528
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 9: not the you know, maybe not day one, maybe not

529
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 9: jumping in there and making a massive pitch for somebody

530
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 9: and trying to get that done, but maybe more about

531
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 9: of the middle of the board, you know, maybe not

532
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 9: sit out two weeks of it then all of a

533
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 9: sudden jump in. Maybe it's maybe it's two or three

534
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 9: days and then you jump in. I've kind of hearing

535
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 9: some whispers that that might be the case, that they're

536
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 9: more interested in looking at the middle of free agency.

537
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 4: Than they are at the bottom.

538
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 9: Not to say they're not going to try and do something,

539
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 9: because they did some really some very good things you

540
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 9: look at with Carl Lawson and what he was able

541
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 9: to bring, but kind of down there, they're thinking about

542
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 9: more of that middle, not maybe day one, day two,

543
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 9: or day three, but start talking to us at day four,

544
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 9: day five and go in that route. So that in

545
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 9: self I think is a very encouraging way to go

546
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 9: considering how things have gone here the last couple of years.

547
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 8: I mean, if you look at it and the struggles

548
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 8: that the Cowboys had highlighted last year with all the injuries,

549
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 8: is that the depth wasn't ready to go, and so

550
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 8: you can expect free agency to be an addressing of

551
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 8: that depth as well as a draft class, and this

552
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 8: definitely gives them the freedom to do so.

553
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the one thing, and I don't know

554
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 9: about you guys, the one thing that I've learned from

555
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 9: watching Philadelphia is you have to be able to and

556
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 9: we'd like to talk around here about twenty four to seven,

557
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 9: you know, with the way you look at you know,

558
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 9: player personnel. To me, the team in Philadelphia, they draft,

559
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 9: they trade, and they signed free agents. I'm not saying

560
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 9: you have to sign every single high free agent, but

561
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 9: you can't just be in one of those areas. You know,

562
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 9: they tell us, hey, we're a twenty four to seven

563
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 9: group around here. Well you need to kind of catch

564
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 9: up in that way. And maybe this is a change.

565
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 9: Maybe we're going to see a more active and free agency.

566
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 9: You know, they got on this early about getting Osa

567
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 9: done you know, now we're starting to hear whispers. Nick's

568
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 9: starting to report about, you know, Micah Parsons, and then

569
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 9: potentially I would not be surprised if Nick writes a

570
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 9: story and tells me about Deron Bland is going to

571
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 9: be somebody that they're talking about getting done here. So

572
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 9: being very proactive in that, playing in the middle of

573
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 9: the of the.

574
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: Free agency pool.

575
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 9: Also having the flexibility and the ability to want to

576
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 9: trade for players, I think you have to be proficient

577
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 9: in all three of those. That's the one thing I

578
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 9: learned from watching the Philadelphia Eagles build their team.

579
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 10: Can I give you an example. I go back to

580
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty three offseason. To me, that was what

581
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 10: I expect them to all right, at least I'm hoping

582
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 10: that they're willing to do this year. They acquired Brandon Cooks,

583
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 10: they acquired Stephan Gilmore, they a Chumway Doga, they acquired

584
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 10: Ronald Jones. These were guys that were not top of

585
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 10: the top line guys. They were guys that were kind

586
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 10: of in the middle pack. And by the way, some

587
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 10: of them didn't work out to be great players. Ronald

588
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 10: Jones didn't really give them anything, but the point is

589
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 10: they were active enough to where they were trying to

590
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 10: fill holes and get guys that they thought, Hey, they're

591
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 10: at a point in their career, let's see what they've got.

592
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 10: Let's see if we can get something out of them.

593
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 10: And I thought Stephan Gilmore played really well that year

594
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 10: for the Cowboys, and Cooks has kind of been up

595
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 10: and down, but I thought, by and large, again that's

596
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 10: the kind of moves I want to see them make,

597
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 10: is take a shot here and there, and you see

598
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 10: how those play out.

599
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 5: But in free agency it's always going to be a

600
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 5: bit of a crapshoot.

601
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 10: But I do think I'd like to see them a

602
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 10: little more active like they were that year.

603
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 8: Are you bringing Cooks back? No?

604
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 5: I think I'm really I want to go to try another.

605
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 8: I agree.

606
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 5: I was just curious if there Yeah, no, would you

607
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 5: would you go?

608
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 10: Would you go all in on somebody like DeVante Adams

609
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 10: who's been released now by the Jets?

610
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 8: Probably not. I want a healthy Robin to see D's Batman,

611
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 8: and I don't feel like that would be more so

612
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 8: like too bad man's being in the room staring at

613
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 8: each other.

614
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 5: Is that not a bad thing?

615
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 8: A good thing to be a bad thing.

616
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 4: Could I convince you at thirteen million a year.

617
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 8: For DeVante Adams? Can you get him at thirteen million

618
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 8: a year?

619
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 9: I'm just going to say that that he played really

620
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 9: about twenty eight I believe it was last year. He's

621
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 9: more of his value is if you look at the

622
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 9: how his projections of numbers and stuff are potentially what

623
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 9: he should earn or could earn. Thirteen million dollars seems

624
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 9: to be the number that people are throwing out there.

625
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 9: Maybe that's the thing that we want to look at.

626
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 8: If it's thirteen million, Yeah, but I don't think it's

627
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 8: going to be Yeah, I'll toe you this.

628
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 9: I will say this though, And the more studies you

629
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 9: did on say, for example, for OsO Diggi Zua, there

630
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 9: was you know, over the cab does a thing the

631
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 9: valuation of players. He was right around a twenty million

632
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 9: dollars a year player for you last year what they

633
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 9: signed him for twenty million dollars. So maybe there's maybe

634
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 9: some of these agents are realizing, Okay, this is the

635
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 9: value Adams is he Is.

636
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: He a thirty five million dollar year player? Absolutely not?

637
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 9: Is he a twenty five million dollars a year player?

638
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 9: Absolutely not is he a fifth Is he a thirteen

639
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 9: to fifteen million dollar player? Okay, now we're talking. Now,

640
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 9: we're talking about things. So to me, if that's the

641
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 9: number and they want to do it, and they want

642
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 9: to do it for just a couple of years something

643
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 9: like that or a year, I would absolutely kick the

644
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 9: tires on that one.

645
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

646
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 10: I don't want to kill a show idea because we're

647
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 10: going to talk about this next week. We're going to

648
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 10: dive into some of the names. But just go look

649
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 10: at the number of names. The number like, there's a

650
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 10: lot of big time wide receivers that will be available

651
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 10: in free agency this year when that happened, and there's

652
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 10: always a chance that that drives the price down. It's

653
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 10: simple to ply and demand, right, If you have a

654
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 10: lot of something, then typically the price is going to

655
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 10: be less expensive than if you.

656
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 5: Only have a few.

657
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 10: And and I think that could help you to your point, Brian,

658
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 10: of thinking about all those things and what he may

659
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 10: end up costing. It may end up being driven down

660
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 10: by all the guys that are available.

661
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 5: At for you age.

662
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 8: It's a similar conversation if you flip it to the

663
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 8: running backs, because there's not a lot and then you

664
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 8: look at a guy like Rigo Dawdle, he's probably gonna

665
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 8: get paid more than what he would have been a

666
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: safe He was a free agent last year.

667
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 10: A those running backs last year, they all a lot

668
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 10: of them took took deals that were not as big

669
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 10: as they thought they were going to get six and

670
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 10: then they all proved like they all went out involved

671
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 10: and then now everybody's like, oh wow, man on art contract.

672
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 10: Art did, Yeah, yeah, that was the highest running back

673
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 10: in his head, twenty million dollars.

674
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 8: They'll be paying him twenty million dollars in twenty twenty nine, which.

675
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: Is twenty eight twenty Oh that it was a two

676
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: year deal.

677
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 8: So it was, but they added those two years on

678
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 8: the end of Oh it's a weird eng Yes, so

679
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 8: like basically it has four years left on his deal,

680
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 8: but that money doesn't.

681
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 5: Care howly be at that point, I don't know how.

682
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 8: But I know that that cap is going to be shisty.

683
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: They're not worried about that.

684
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: For some reason.

685
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: They don't worry. They're they're planning in a parade.

Speaker 5: Yeah it does.

760
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 7: Yes, so okay. Free agency starts in March March twelve.

761
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 7: And something that came out from the NFL combine. It

762
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 7: was a two words that was going around a lot

763
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 7: of social media. Stephen Jones, he was the first one

764
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 7: to speak to the media and he mentioned that they

765
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 7: were gonna be selectively aggressive during Bryan.

766
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: We can print T shirts around this place. We could,

767
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: we could do something.

768
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: I guess that's now the that's now the spraise of the.

769
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 7: Awesome selectively aggressive. But I mean they've started off. They

770
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 7: started off good with preventing certain players from going and

771
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 7: we just talked about them, and they tend to do

772
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 7: this though, they tend to sign their own and they

773
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 7: started doing so. But I want to ask you, guys,

774
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 7: what does selectively aggressive means to you? What is your

775
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 7: interpretation of these two words put together? That's what it

776
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 7: means that the Cowboys are planning or attempting to do

777
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 7: in this free agency.

778
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 10: See, that's what gives me hope that when I said

779
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 10: that they would be active this year in free agency

780
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 10: where they have not been is I do think they're

781
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 10: gonna find one or two guys that are gonna shock

782
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 10: some people and be like, we're gonna go after those

783
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 10: guys because we think we got value there.

784
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: That's our hope, right. But there's your hope when you Yeah.

785
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 10: But when you say selectively aggressive, that's what it says

786
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 10: to me is we're not going to be the team's

787
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 10: just gonna be out there just flinging money around, but

788
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 10: we're going to find a couple players that we really love.

789
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 5: That we're going to say, we're going to go in

790
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: and we're going to make a We're going to make

791
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 5: it happen.

792
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

793
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 8: I agree, We'll see who those players are.

794
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

795
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 8: Also think Zoo, I think is an example of them

796
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 8: being selectively aggressive. They found a identification of a guy

797
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 8: that they want to bring back, and they were aggressive

798
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 8: in pursuing him. I think there could be a couple

799
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 8: of more inside the building that they don't want to

800
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 8: let hit free agency, so that would be selectively aggressive

801
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 8: as well. But as as far as free agency goes,

802
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 8: I think I'm with you, Brian as far as they'll

803
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 8: probably go after these mid tier type guys and maybe

804
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 8: that's where they're aggressive.

805
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 4: I hope they're selectively right, right, that's key.

806
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 9: There's been some times around here where they've kind of

807
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 9: played and they've dipped their toe in those pools Derek

808
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 9: mentioned and not come up well, so yeah, they need

809
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 9: a they need a run here from their pro department,

810
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 9: now for the most part, has done a pretty solid

811
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 9: job for them, but they are going to need if

812
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 9: they're going to be selective. That tells me they've got

813
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 9: an ideas they're looking at their pro personnel board of guys.

814
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 9: Maybe at the combine there's some of the best tampering

815
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 9: you'll ever see in the league goes on there, but

816
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 9: that's okay. You know, you get an idea of these

817
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 9: agents and who might be out there and who might

818
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 9: you know, want to come to you for the right

819
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 9: price and stuff. So if they're going to be selective,

820
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 9: please be selectively right as you're doing this, because you're

821
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 9: probably gonna take maybe two three shots of this thing,

822
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 9: you know, and you need those players to step in

823
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 9: and play it at a play at a very high level.

824
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 7: Well, what I was gonna say, like, yes, it sounds good,

825
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 7: and I agree with everything that you guys said, But

826
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 7: I think where they get you is that sometimes they

827
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 7: see value differently than what the general public sees. Like

828
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 7: they'll see a certain player and they'll see them this guy,

829
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 7: we find him very, very valuable to us. He has

830
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 7: what we are looking for, but the general public, the

831
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 7: fan base, and all the critics out there see it

832
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 7: completely different and have a different perspective. So it's going

833
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 7: to be interesting to see how a ligne those two

834
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 7: views could potentially be this time around as opposed to

835
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 7: previous years, and where they find that value at Nick,

836
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go towards you since you were there at

837
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 7: the combine, what were some of the things that stood

838
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 7: out to you the most during last week?

839
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jerry not talking was definitely interesting. I think you

840
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 8: know when you pair that with he didn't talk in

841
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 8: Las Colinas at the Winter meetings back in December, and

842
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 8: then he didn't talk at the Senior Bowl and mobile

843
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 8: granted he didn't make the trip. He's just been abnormally quiet.

844
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 8: But he'll talk today at the Zach Martin presser, whether

845
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 8: it be during or after week why do you think

846
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 8: that happened?

847
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 7: What do you think that is.

848
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna read too much into it. I've been

849
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 8: asked a million times by it. I'm not gonna read

850
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 8: too much into it. I can only take from what

851
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 8: I know that has been communicated by the staff, and

852
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 8: that this staff has been working over time since they

853
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 8: got in the building to catch up on twenty twenty

854
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 8: four season film, trying to figure out what they have

855
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 8: in the building, because all these guys came from different places,

856
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 8: so they're all trying to figure out what the team

857
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 8: is actually here. That goes with the front office as well.

858
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 8: So I do buy to a certain extent that these

859
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 8: guys have been working like crazy to catch up and

860
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 8: get ready for free agency. But also on that same token,

861
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 8: Jerry has been knowing to talk in more stressful situations.

862
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 8: So I don't know, we'll see. I guess we'll find

863
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 8: out today. Maybe they wanted to wait until this Osa

864
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 8: Diggyzy what a deal was done. I mean, when you

865
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 8: look at it and it's super team friendly. Maybe they

866
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 8: were telling Jerry like, hey, you don't say anything, because

867
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 8: we think we can get a pretty good deal out

868
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 8: of this. You know, maybe that's maybe that's part of it,

869
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 8: but nevertheless, we'll we'll hear from them today.

870
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm I'm just gonna go on this approach. I'm

871
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 9: really disappointed he didn't get to talk on the bus

872
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 9: because I learned a ton on that bus.

873
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, me too, I learned.

874
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: I think Jerry's in a very relaxed state.

875
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 9: I think he has the guys the gals around him

876
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 9: in that bus that covered this team on a daily basis,

877
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 9: that live with this team, and you know, guys and

878
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 9: gals did he honestly he trusts, and so you get

879
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 9: a very honest and open conversation. I think the questions

880
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 9: are excellent that come out of there. I remember working

881
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 9: here with Dallas Cowboys Dot and when we'd post that,

882
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 9: and how much I enjoyed watching that, you know, because

883
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 9: I felt like I got something out of that. And

884
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 9: you know, maybe we're a point in time now where

885
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 9: there's folks out there that complain about how much that

886
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 9: Jerry Jones talks too much. You know, maybe we're in

887
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 9: this new era now where we're not going to get

888
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 9: ninety minutes on a bus anymore. We're gonna have to

889
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 9: wait and maybe get fifteen to twenty minutes after an

890
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 9: announcement of a retirement. So that part of it I

891
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 9: think I really don't like because the bust part of it,

892
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 9: to me, I learned a lot about this football team

893
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 9: even working here, I learned a lot from where those

894
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 9: questions came from those guys and gals. I'm disappointed we

895
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 9: didn't get to see that.

896
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think for the media, obviously, it's a missed

897
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 10: opportunity because how often do you get to sit down

898
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 10: with he's the best head coaching, a GM an owner

899
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 10: anywhere around the league and have real conversational out what's

900
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 10: going on. And by the way, some of that's off

901
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 10: the record stuff ar that doesn't ever get published, but

902
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 10: it doesn't form the media on kind of the thought

903
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 10: process of things that are going on. So I know

904
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 10: from the media standpoint, that's a big miss for them,

905
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 10: and a lot of those folks go down there specifically

906
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 10: for the purpose of they know they're gonna have that

907
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 10: time with Jerry. So from that standpoint, I think it's

908
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 10: a miss. But the one thing I also think I

909
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 10: know about Jerry is I don't think Jerry runs from controversy.

910
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 10: He doesn't run from season, had season wasn't what it

911
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 10: wanted to be they wanted it to be. He doesn't

912
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 10: run from those kinds of situations. So I can trust

913
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 10: the fact that if it didn't work out from a

914
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 10: scheduling standpoint, that it didn't work out from a scheduling standpoint,

915
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 10: it wasn't some reason like Jerry doesn't want to talk,

916
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 10: Like I have never known Jerry not to want to talk.

917
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 10: When it comes down to being accountable and speaking, he doesn't.

918
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 5: You know, you might not always like what he has

919
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 5: to say.

920
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 10: But he's never He's never shown me that he's afraid

921
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 10: to get out there and actually take the questions and

922
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 10: answer them. So I just take it as hey, schedules

923
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 10: are are what they are.

924
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: Getting advised to. I might be getting advised to.

925
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 9: You know, there's it might be getting advised you know, hey,

926
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 9: let's control it this way and not control it in

927
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 9: a way we're trying to hide anything. But you know, time,

928
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 9: like I say, ninety minutes of Jerry Jones sitting in

929
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 9: that environment is great, you know, twenty minutes of it,

930
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 9: you feel like, did I get all my questions in?

931
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: You know?

932
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 9: So maybe there's maybe there's some purpose here of trying

933
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 9: to kind of limit some time to the access there.

934
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 7: I know we had Brian Schottenheimer. He also spot spoke

935
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 7: during that time at the NFL Combine and there were

936
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 7: some interesting things that he talked about, and I think

937
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 7: he the way he communicates everything sounds very promising at

938
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 7: the moment. One of the things that he communicated was

939
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 7: this whole switch potential switch that could happen in the

940
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 7: O line, and we kind of discussed that earlier, but

941
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 7: wanted to get a further opinion on this topic about

942
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 7: when you start talking about do you want to move

943
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 7: Cooper Bebee and what do you do with these other

944
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 7: guys and moving guys around, and we know, like Brad Hoffman,

945
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 7: he also has that flexibility. What are your thoughts on

946
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 7: what sounds the best at the moment? And I know

947
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 7: we mentioned the potential of them adding somebody else through

948
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 7: the draft, but in the meantime, with these guys, how

949
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 7: do you see their future?

950
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think my opinion and from what I know

951
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 8: the team's opinion is I think it's probably the same

952
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 8: in the sense that keeping Cooper BB at center after

953
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 8: the year that he had in twenty twenty four is

954
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 8: probably the best route, just because he grew and learned

955
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 8: and trained at that position throughout his entire rookie season

956
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 8: from the word go, and then you would throw him

957
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 8: back at guard. Granted, he had three years of experience

958
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 8: there at Kansas State, so it's not like it would

959
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 8: be something completely foreign to him, but making that transition

960
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 8: at the NFL level a little bit more difficult. If

961
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 8: it were me, I'm keeping Cooper BB at center, finding

962
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 8: an interior guy in the draft that maybe has some

963
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 8: flexibility as well in case there is injury that pops

964
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 8: up in that interior, but trusting that BB is the

965
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 8: center of the future.

966
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 9: I like the fact that they used him for a year.

967
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 9: I'm interested, though. I would love to talk to Connor Riley,

968
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 9: the offensive line coach, about this, and would Connor Riley

969
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 9: walk in there and say, yeah, you guys played him

970
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 9: at center, but he'd be an All Pro guard. You know,

971
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 9: he's coached this kid, he knows this kid.

972
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 4: Man.

973
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 9: Why didn't Kansas State playhim at center and it played

974
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 9: him ac guard? Because he was you know, he was

975
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 9: an all Big twelve type of a player, you know,

976
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 9: all American type of a player. So I would be

977
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 9: really interested to think if Connor Riley came in here

978
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 9: and said, you know, if you had somebody you felt really,

979
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 9: really really good about at center, or this was a

980
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 9: draft like of you know last year, where there were

981
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 9: centers in it and you could draft a guy. I mean,

982
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 9: I don't know about Nick. I'm struggling to find a

983
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 9: center right now in this draft. I can't.

984
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 4: I'm I mean not to the point.

985
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 9: I'd love to be able to say, Okay, I'm gonna

986
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 9: pick this guy and then I'm gonna plug him in

987
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna put Cooper b b at right guard

988
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 9: and away we go. But I would be interested in

989
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 9: asking Connor Riley about that if, like, man, do you

990
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 9: feel like he could really be this good of a

991
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 9: center or do you think he's an all pro guard

992
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 9: something to kind of keep an eye on.

993
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, And quite frankly, I wouldn't have I wouldn't go

994
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 10: into this offseason thinking anybody has a secured spot on

995
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 10: this offensive line. I'm going to mass as many offensive

996
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 10: line and as I can get, and then I'm going

997
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 10: to figure out the best place to put them based

998
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 10: upon what they want to do. What we know, or

999
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 10: at least what we've heard and what we've seen is

1000
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 10: this going to be a different kind of offensive line

1001
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 10: because they're going to have a different kind of running game.

1002
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 10: So let's just get all the cards and then you'll

1003
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 10: arrange them. And I think that's more how I look

1004
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 10: at it. I don't think Bbe should be penciled in

1005
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 10: as your starting center as much as he's an offensive

1006
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 10: line and he's going to be starting, where's the best

1007
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 10: place to put him? Based on everybody else you have

1008
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 10: as well?

1009
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 7: Well, we have to end the show on time. If

1010
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 7: you guys are watching live, please don't go anywhere. In

1011
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,160

1012
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 7: his press conference where he announces his retirement. Already, a

1013
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 7: bunch of players are showing up over some of those names.

Speaker 5: There's a lot of guys going to come and pay respect.

1018
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 7: So let's hope not to cry, at least me. But

1019
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 7: this is a just stay around and watch that live.

1020
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,600
