00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, Dascowboys dot Com. We got John the showed

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: of the athletic and I am really really trying to

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: figure out how to get hyped up for this game.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: It's Houston. This is a bad team. Um, this is

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a bad organization. It's the Governor's Cup. Yeah, it's a

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: noon game. You know, got a stack right before where

13
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: we started the show, I was, I said to him,

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: I was like, can you name more than five players

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: in the Houston Texans? And obviously you can, but it's

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: not as easy as you think, Like, it's it's not

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: a it's not a gimme there. This is bad of

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: a roster as I've ever seen in the NFL. I

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: can't think of one. I mean even the only sixteen

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Lions still had Calvin Johnson. You know, we still had

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: some pieces. They were like, oh I can see this

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: this team, man, I just it's it's bad. Yeah, it

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: is bad. And and you know, this is one of

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: those where like if you were playing like Madden or

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, in the NCA game, you know, game back

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: in the day, where this is one where like you

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: got the stats. You know, this is a stats game.

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: You can you can really pad the stats with stuff.

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know. I mean, yeah,

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: they pay their guys too and all that, but but

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: not well I mean, like you know, we said that

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: all the time. They get paid too. Not the same though.

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: They don't get paid like these guys get paid. You there.

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: They may be in the same building, but they've got

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: different views. There's no doubt about that. So yeah, it's

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: it's I mean, literally, you you're showing up Sunday because

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: you love Cowboys. I mean you you've had tickets and

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: we're goaling. But man, this is one of those where literally, hey, Nick,

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: you let it Cowboys, man, my boy, Christmas game the

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: game right right. Literally, that's just one of those because

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: it's just I think it'll be I mean, I always

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: look forward to the the game these any game, but I

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: think it'll be fun. I mean, it'll be interesting to

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: see how how how they play. And you know, there's

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: always a game within the game and the storylines, and

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a lot of them written down there.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean, just just you know what happens. I mean,

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: are you gonna get a Pro Bowl left tackle back

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: this week? Is? Is James Washington gonna play this week?

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, these are some things that you know, you're

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: just everything kind of is ramping up to the playoffs

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: and just little questions and so you know, I think

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: that there's some storylines that are interesting for this one. Yeah,

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I agree with those. And then also the Calvin Joseph thing. Yeah,

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: Calvin Jonesph, that other that number two corner spot. Who

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: steps up there? How does it look there? Is it

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Joe? Some starts and and excuse me, clean and

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: solid all the way through? Or is it shaky? And

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is picking on him? And all of a sudden,

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: now you see some other guys out there. You know

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: that that I'll give you that that is those three

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: that right there are or something. I think it's a

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: great opponent for some of those questions marks, you know,

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: those things that you want to see. I think this

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: is this is a good week for it. And you know,

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Mica did not get a sack last week, and you

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: know he's found himself in the news, and so I'm

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: sure he's he'd be looking to, uh get a few

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: get a few sacks and make a few plays in

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: this game. I remember talking to him, Buddy My, he

71
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: was a coach and back when he was in college.

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: I said, is this kind of like when you're in

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: school when you were facing one of those those Oregon

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: teams that weren't any good? Like, you know, hey, I

75
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: can make All Conference right now, get like Houston Texas

76
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: coup of sacks and touchdown. You know, it's about time

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: for Pro Bowl voting here, Like coach, dial me up,

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: dial me up. Yeah, somebody like a Jake Ferguson, you know,

79
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: or you know, or even like I want to say,

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the League Davis. I mean, he might play some but

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just just somebody that is like

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: a second teamer that doesn't play a lot, but might

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: play the whole second half of this game like that.

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: And if we're getting ahead of it, that's just the

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: way it is. I just do not think Houston can

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: stay on the field with the Cowboys. If they're focused,

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: then they go out and just execute efficiently. I don't

88
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: think Houston can stay on the field. No, no, I

89
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: don't either. But I also think there's a certain aspect of, oh, well,

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, you hope to see the Cowboys show up.

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: And I just look back to last week's game and

92
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: the way everything started to steam role in that fourth quarter.

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: A lot of that was done by young guys who

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: they're not gonna sit there and look at the Houston

95
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Texans and go, guys to the Texans. We don't have to,

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: like you said, Hendershot ferguson those guys. They want to

97
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: William Sam Williams, Kelvin jumps. Those guys are gonna want

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: to put out good tape. They're gonna want to play well.

99
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, I just I look at this as a

100
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: game of you know, you just see look look across

101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the league, key injuries happening to things

102
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: like that. You just want to be able to avoid that.

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: You know, if it gets to a point in the

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: second half, you know, go ahead and get DeMarcus Lawrence

105
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: out of there. You know, get you know, Zeke and

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Pollard and some of these guys. Let you know, let

107
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: League Davis get to get touched. Put a guy like

108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Tyrann Smith and well, you know what I mean, just

109
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: put it Tyrn I mean, you know, get him in

110
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: there here and there, but you don't need to have

111
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: him out there the entire time. Stay on Lake. Davis

112
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: scored last week, and we don't know what Zeke's future

113
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: will be. And it makes me think about Davis just

114
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: what what do you think their comfortability is with him?

115
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: And what kind of role do you think he could

116
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: be working towards next season. There's a lot of questions

117
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: there on you know, what happens with Zeke, what happens

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: with Pollard? Do they draft the guy and where and so?

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: But you still want a running back like like him

120
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: on your team. I think there's gonna be a role

121
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: for him. You know. Rico Dowdle is still on high

122
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: r He's a guy that they were excited about. But

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I think Malik has passed him. He's because he's quick,

124
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: and he's big and strong, you know, and I guess

125
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: he's fast. I mean, you don't really have to be

126
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: super fast at that position. If you've got some of

127
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: those other traits, and so he has that, and now

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm with a second year under his belt. When that happens,

129
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: I thinks somebody that you know, it'd be intriguing for sure. Yeah,

130
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of tough decisions in the

131
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: off season. You're just trying to have to think about

132
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: them right now because it just it's a whole There's

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: so many other things that come with it. But I

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: mean it's a good point bringing it up because it

135
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be something they're gonna have to be faced with.

136
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: I know Skip Pete likes him a lot. When I

137
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: think get that chance to talk to him during the

138
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: bye week, I mean, he talked about how he's not

139
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: hesitant to put League Davis out there in big moments

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: and actions speak louder in words. They certainly did that

141
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: in that second half and net overtime of the Green

142
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Bay game. I mean, he had a huge carry would

143
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: have been one of the biggest plays in the game

144
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: if it wasn't called back for that holding call. So no,

145
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: I think the trust is there. They would prefer to,

146
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, continue to have Ezekiel Elly, Tony Pollard though, Yeah,

147
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, they get go back to April. I mean,

148
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: you get thirty visits to bring a guy in, you know,

149
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: and you're sitting here in the draft and you can

150
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I forgot, where did they pick last year twenty you know,

151
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: like a little twenty wherever they got Tyler spends. But

152
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you have an opportunity to get a lot

153
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: of guys in here to look at first second round.

154
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: They brought in Malie Davis with their thirty picks and

155
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: at thirty visits and he didn't get drafted. They ended

156
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: up getting but they obviously liked him. There's something about

157
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: him that this staff liked to bring him into visit

158
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: with him, I'm trying to think, like, who are the

159
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: other number three backs that they've had recently, because to me,

160
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: he jumps off is he's better than who they would be,

161
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: And so I guess I'm thinking like the Rico doubt a, um,

162
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: you know he's probably Consera Lance Dunbar number three. Yeah,

163
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: I guess so, because he really was. He definitely hasn't juice,

164
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: But I think you're your best number three, you know.

165
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: In a while, it was like it's a sharp choice, right,

166
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: it was. It was a mid mid round draft pick,

167
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, so yeah, fourth round pick. Yeah yeah, so

168
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: so I I for me when I when when I

169
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: saw that that touchdown run, and then going back into camp,

170
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: I just think about like, Okay, you know along the

171
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: way Will McClay and his staff, you're looking at the Okay,

172
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: here here's a guy that you know, we like and

173
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: could see more out more out of and um, I'm

174
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: probably I'm probably finally getting my mind wrapped around it. Um,

175
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: something could happen with Ezekiel, whether he takes a reduction

176
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: in salary or they decided something could happen. Because we're

177
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: just seeing there's, there's there's. They got a lot of issues,

178
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: um with this team roster wise in terms of you know,

179
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: who you pay and where you go. So everyone cannot

180
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: get paid and you're going to have to figure out

181
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: which young players allow you to spend money on some

182
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: other players. And so Davis is that kind of guy.

183
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, if you can get you know, if you

184
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: can get a number two or three play out of

185
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: out of this running back. And because like Polers staying

186
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: at minimum, he's here on a franchise deal. He ain't

187
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: going anywhere. I told him. But others like Tony Polter's

188
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna be here. Um. So that's why I look at

189
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: a guy like Davison. I'll just be interested in a

190
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: game like this against Houston. If you go out here,

191
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: you handle your business. You know, him carrying the ball

192
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: like we saw in the fourth court. It's not just

193
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna be out here on a joy ride. This guy's

194
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be running with a purpose knowing that. Okay, I

195
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: want you guys to take me seriously as that I'm

196
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: someone that you can count on to have a part

197
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: of your feature. So to me, the way I feel

198
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: is that running back is the easiest transition. Now, when

199
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: I say easiest, how I mean anybody can do it.

200
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: But I think it's the smoothest transition from usually if

201
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: you're a pretty good running back in high school, a

202
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: lot of times those are the guys that get on

203
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: the field and are pretty good as a freshman in college,

204
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: and then vice versa. Usually guys are really good in

205
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: college that come to the pros and get some time.

206
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: If you compare it to all the other positions, I

207
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: think it has the highest success rate of being able

208
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: to carry over in year one. And I'm saying that's

209
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: out for everyone. But what's your biggest concern within that?

210
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: It's always the pass walking. Yeah, that's the thing. It's

211
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: the pass pro and and you know, these kinds of

212
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: situations and look, hopefully you make the playoffs and nothing happens.

213
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: But if you have to put him in a situation

214
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: and you got to get some blacky, look at the

215
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: poor niners dropping guys, you know, So that's one way.

216
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's not I pay attention. That's something to pay attention. Yeah,

217
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: and if his you know what do you have to

218
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: have to have, you know, pass pass protection? You gotta

219
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: have number one, you gotta have the awareness, you know,

220
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: understanding what the blocking scheme looks like, and also you know,

221
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: figuring out what other teams are trying to do. And

222
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: then you gotta have to strength to hold up and

223
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: you know block. You know, for him to be a

224
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: rookie on that as a personal protector on the special

225
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: teams right now, that's that's rare to have that position.

226
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: He's out there a lot doing that. So the trust

227
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: that the Bones Fossil has for him to do that

228
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: kind of shows he's a smart kid, he's tough, he's

229
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: he can he can pick things up. So the Skuy's

230
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, the limit for him. I think I think

231
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: he's got a really really bright future. When you say that,

232
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: I think that's really important to you. I was ended

233
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: up talking to h Buck show Walter today, the manager

234
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: of the New York Mets, and just just just on

235
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: the street or bumped into him or I called him

236
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: because they had the Jack at the Crumb press conference

237
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: with the Rangers today and I wasn't gonna be able

238
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: to be there because it wasn't one Buck, what's up? Well,

239
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: I just said, because you know, I'm from the Rangers. Yeah,

240
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: and I and uh, and I just said, all right,

241
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: tell me about the groan. You know, what do I

242
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: need to know? And and so you know, Buck just

243
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: he loves he loves the arms like an amazing army.

244
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: He says crazy. He's like, now I have Randy Johnson.

245
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: It's like I've seen some arms. So he said, the

246
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: guys got a crazy arm. But one thing I asked

247
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Buck a couple of years ago, I said, what's the

248
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: biggest lesson you learned about how to win? He said?

249
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: He said, dumb players get you beat. He says, don't

250
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: get dumb players. And when you talked about Davis being

251
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: a pump protector. You cannot be dumb and that I mean,

252
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: you have to have a smart person who understands what

253
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: to do, because that will get you beat. I mean

254
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: too many times special special teams play has turned around

255
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: a football game. But that says something. The bones fossil

256
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: is trusting a rookie in a position like that because

257
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: you can't you can't see disaster there if you do.

258
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: If you're not, you know, if you're not up on

259
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: what you gotta do for Jimmy say the same thing,

260
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: same exact line. Jimmy Johnson said that as well, and

261
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: on you know, and they kind of from the same

262
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: school school of thought. There you read that book. Yet, No,

263
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: it's good. I bet it is. It is good. It's

264
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: kind it's kind of water has chances of making the

265
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor now as opposed to before it came out.

266
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know what's in there, but

267
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I've always been I was told that that's gonna be

268
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: a that's gonna make it even a steeper hill. Here's what.

269
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: There's a whole jat chapter and Jerry and me. One

270
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: of the first times that he has admitted fault kept

271
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: admitting different faults, and I don't thinks different could have

272
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: done thinks Jerry said yes, yes, So there's there's a

273
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: lot in there. But his whole thing with that, he

274
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: laid it out that, hey, this was the contract. I

275
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: was in charge of the players and I made these deals.

276
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: So um, he said it straight there. But Nick, I've

277
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: always felt this way about Jerry and Jimmy. Think it'll

278
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: come down to be in a settlemental moment for Jerry.

279
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean we I mean you guys have seen it now.

280
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry, I'll drop on you. It'll drop some

281
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: tears in a minute now over a simple kind of question.

282
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: You never know what gets tom. I just hope that

283
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: because both men should be in the Ring of arm. Okay,

284
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: both of them have the honor while people can enjoy

285
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: and the people you love can enjoy it. I don't

286
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: want to see anybody rolled out there. And we've seen

287
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: this before, especially the Hall of Fame. Guys are out

288
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: here getting inducted, can't talk. You know that happened this year.

289
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: You know they're or they're dead. Um. The moment should

290
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: be enjoyed by the participant, their family, their all those

291
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: people and and you've been around all those folks who

292
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: who love Jimmy, UM, they deserve that moment too, because

293
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: for some of them, like a Dave Dave Wan says,

294
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: never getting the Ring of Honor, Okay, this is his closest.

295
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: Guys like that get to um. Darren Woodson, you know,

296
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: guy that Jimmy drafted. You know, that's moments for people

297
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: like that because of what he meant through his career.

298
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: And then when Jerry goes in there, the same thing

299
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: for all the people that he helped bring along for

300
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: this ride, you know, that's that's their moment too. I'd

301
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: like for both men to be able to have the

302
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: moment where they could truly enjoy it. When people are

303
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: not able to stand up or speak, or they're not

304
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: around here to enjoy it, I just think that's a problem,

305
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that Jerry, at some point in time

306
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: just doesn't. I spoke to Jimmy UM and on a

307
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: zoom call he says, you know what, sooner he does it,

308
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: then we'll all just stop talking about it, which is

309
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: that's the truth. It might be just do it, be over,

310
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: But maybe it'll be too hard for him to get

311
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: through that day or in that ceremony and having to

312
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: do all that. I'm saying Jerry to do it for

313
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy that might be too difficult where he doesn't want

314
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: to do it. He just doesn't want him to get

315
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: that that honor. I mean, actions speak louder than words.

316
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: It hasn't done it up to this point, so there

317
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: has to be something there. But you guys were there

318
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: two years ago on the Monday Night to get the Eagles,

319
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: and while Cliff Harris was there along with Drew, you

320
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: did it. Yeah, I mean, would it be any would

321
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: it really be that much different? It wouldn't toss. But

322
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: we're not the ones in charge there, I mean we Yeah,

323
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: books are put out, stories are told, but you don't

324
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: ever really know everything. And so there still has to

325
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: be something there that is deeply rooted to why this

326
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. Because let's be honest, you don't need to

327
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: do ring of on or like, well, if they're gonna

328
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: do it, you have to. You're gonna have to announce

329
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: now because that's to a year from now. No, you

330
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: can actually go ahead and announce it like next week,

331
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, whenever you want, right exactly. And hey, guys, tomorrow.

332
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Guess what, everybody, come out next week's get away. We're

333
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: dropping this thing. Attendance for the Texans games down. We're

334
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna do Jimmy in the ring of Vibe. How quickly

335
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: can you make can you make the you know whatever?

336
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: The tiles are? Hey? Real quick? Back some week Davis thing.

337
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: How many people do you think realize that that Malake

338
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Davis and that Damian Pierce from Houston are We're in

339
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: the same college backfield last year. The reason I bring

340
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: this up is because Florida hasn't been very good. You know,

341
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: one guy is the third string running back for the Cowboys.

342
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: The other guy is having a good season, but it's

343
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. Like, I don't think a lot

344
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: of people realize that these guys that could be the

345
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: two backs on the field in the second half are

346
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: are guys that played in the same college baby. I mean,

347
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, did you know? I mean, with being

348
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: an Arkansas fan, I don't know if you knew there

349
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: that I found out like fifteen seconds ago. Okay, I didn't.

350
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Honestly this whole week. It's one of those things I

351
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: was I've been meaning to ask someone, like, where did

352
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Piers go to school because usually, man, I will I'll

353
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: remember based off of oh yeah, that running back or whatever.

354
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: And I even if you would have said Florida running

355
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: back at I'm seriously trying to think of the last

356
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys game I've covered where I've looked at the other

357
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: opponent where you're just like, man, this is just not

358
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: going to be regular season Yeah, yeah, well yeah, regular seasons. Yeah,

359
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: that's what it looks. Not in that preseason, but regularly.

360
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: I cannot think of the last time where I was like,

361
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, all right, seventeen points in an NFL game

362
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: is a lot that's unheard of. Yeah, that is unheard

363
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: What do I feel like it's gonna be ten ten

364
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: three Houston? Like in the second quarter, we're gonna look

365
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: around like white, Yeah, because they'll come up here ready

366
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: to fight. Yeah. No, Look, I actually did the Dallas

367
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Morning News picks and I took Houston to cover. To

368
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: be honest with you, from my perspective as a writer,

369
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: your scenario gives me more to write about than sure

370
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: fifty two to seven, Like you can write about it

371
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: and and things like that, but you kind of look

372
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: at it's like that that should have happened. It's easier

373
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: to write about whoa what happened here? You know that

374
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: why was this a game? You know they're gonna face

375
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: better teams in the playoffs, right right if you're doing

376
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: this here, they're gonna Christmas Eve against Eagles whatever. But

377
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: I expect them to take care of business and see

378
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: if it is a slow start, I still so. Part

379
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: two of the AFC South Classic for the Dallas Cowboys

380
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: and Houston and next week it ends in Jacksonville with

381
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. So these are games that we're expecting the

382
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win. Well, we forget the Titans, but there's

383
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: like three in a row, three row. I thought you

384
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: meant like this, No, no, you know, yeah, you got

385
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: you know Indie got the Eagles too. Yeah. That kind

386
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: of break breaks it up. You think that they could

387
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: be the AFC South champions, like you think get into

388
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: playoffs like that, get just get a first round by

389
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: get like a hat that says, like, you know it's AFC.

390
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: I just want to see the governor's cut presentation. Man,

391
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: how many people Okay at the same we'll say they're

392
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: rounded off to ninety thousand, nine thousand people at that stadium.

393
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: If if if there's that many, how people do you

394
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: think even know that there is a Governor's Cup or

395
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: what the Governor's Cup is? Out of eighty thousand, do

396
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: you think it's even ten thousand, it's one hundred. I

397
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I think it's I do think it's

398
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: an hundred. It's about like that lone Star boot that

Speaker 1: he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying

417
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: to be faster than this cheetah can run eighty miles

418
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,360

00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: come on, man, you know you can't trust him. He says,

458
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: it's not right because you had Tyler Smith playing well,

459
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: your offensive line is playing well. Giving up Sat with

460
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: some of the least amount of saxon the game, why

461
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: mess with the chemistry? Why do that? I said, they

462
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: want their best five, and if you're going to go

463
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, you know Tyred Smith they believe gives

464
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: them the best five guys. So um, it's two against one.

465
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: By myself, I'm still rolling with seven seven, So I'm

466
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: starting with you, Nick, your thoughts. I think you could

467
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: say best five. I think it worth you said I

468
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: want my best two. I mean I think he'd be

469
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: in there. I think I think it'd be him, and

470
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Zac thought like it's always been until until he's is

471
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: not that guy until he's not that guy anymore. But

472
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: let him prove to you that he is. And I

473
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: think what Tyler Smith has done this year has been amazing.

474
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, like, he didn't practice at left tackle. He's

475
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: playing guardy and he was the rotating at guard and

476
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: then he all of a sudden, now you're the left tackle.

477
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: And he played pretty well based off the expectations you

478
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: have for him as a rookie that hasn't practiced there

479
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: all year that gets a lot of holding penalties. He's

480
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: been pretty good, but I don't think he's been Tyler Smith.

481
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean Tyrant Smith good. So I want to see

482
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: if Tyrant you know, because we always were judging Tyler

483
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: that way based off of what you expect the last

484
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: three years, we've judged Tyrant Smith based off of what

485
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: he's been his first five years of his career. It's

486
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: like he's kind of losing it. Yeah, Okay, Well he's

487
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: had a lot of room to dip down and he's

488
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: still pretty dang good. And he was a pro bowler

489
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: last year, missed some time. Let's see what he looks

490
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: like this year. I got a little bit of glimpse

491
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: of some things in practice I'm just I'm not going

492
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: to go into detail. I saw some stuff and I'm

493
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: telling you, oh, he's one of your best five. Let's

494
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: let's put him out there. Whenever he's fully, fully ready,

495
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: he needs to get out there. The only way I'd

496
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: have an issue with it is if he gets out

497
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: there and we know it, I mean, forget us, but

498
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: the coaches know, like, man, that's he's not playing on

499
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: that level. But then they keep having him out there

500
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: because he is Tyrant Smith in name, that's when you

501
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: have an issue. But if he's one of your best

502
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: five players and he doesn't have to be Tyrant Smith

503
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: of five or six years ago. But if he's playing

504
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: well at left tackle, you leave Tyrn Smith out there

505
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: and you figure out at left guard if it's you know,

506
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be Tyler Smith. But if

507
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: he has issues there, then then hey, you adjust to it.

508
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: But I just think that what Tyron Smith has done

509
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: and what he's capable of still doing, he deserves every

510
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to get back out there. And let's be honest,

511
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any position flex It's not like you're

512
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, well, we'll move him into a

513
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: left guard and we'll let Tyler Smith stay out at

514
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: left tackle. No, you're not doing that. Put him out there.

515
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: You know, the guys that like the Dak talking about today,

516
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was good to hear him out there

517
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: grunting again, because that's when he knows that, you know,

518
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith's out there doing this thing that they the

519
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: veterans on this team trust and what he can do,

520
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: and he deserves the right to be able to show that. Now,

521
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: if he's out there and he's not playing up to

522
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: that level, well then that's up to the coaches to go, hey,

523
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: we got to go back to what we were doing before.

524
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: And but then, let's be honest, there's a decent chance

525
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: that he gets back out there and then something else happens,

526
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 1: because this isn't a one year, two year, three year,

527
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: four year, five year. I mean, this has been going

528
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: on for a while where it's been one a half decade,

529
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been just one thing. There's been a

530
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: lot of different things. So I think that eventually your

531
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: body gets to a point where, hey, he's had a

532
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: lot of wear and tear because he's been in this

533
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: league since he was a really young dude, and it's

534
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: obviously caught up with him and he's trying to, you know,

535
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: take it down the home strategy. Loved to end his

536
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: career probably with a Super Bowl ring, you know. He

537
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: and it kind of surprises me a little bit. The

538
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: Barry Church would say that, because Barry is a guy

539
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: that had an Achilles injury and he fought like hell

540
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: to get back out there in play, and they signed

541
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: him to a contractor as soon as he had that

542
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: injury good faith. It's like, you're gonna come back. We're

543
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna you know, and he was a really good player.

544
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Tyran What is Tyron Smith doing for the last three

545
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: months with a lot of people said he's done, man,

546
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna come back this year. Jerry said it,

547
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: and Jerry got laughed at for saying that. And here

548
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: he is in the meat of the schedule exactly like

549
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: he just said. And here's Tyron Smith. And Zeke said

550
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: it yesterday in his press garmerents, I feel sorry for

551
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: the defensive guys that he's kind of throwing around. I'm

552
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: telling you, I saw it. I saw one play of

553
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: what he was talking about, where man, he looks he

554
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: looks pretty dang good. So he deserves that right. He's

555
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: been your franchise left tackle Hall of famer. Show me

556
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: that you're not that guy before I say now, I

557
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: don't want to mess up tyrants Tyler Smith's development. One

558
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: of the things that I spoke about was giving trust

559
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: towards Joe Philbin. I mean, we saw the first game

560
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: they have any of the guys they expected, you know,

561
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: so the bright at the gate the first game, whole

562
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: new lineup pinned second game because McGovern got heard he

563
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: had put Farnock. So you spent the first three weeks

564
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: of the season, you know, juggling lineups here, and they've

565
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: continued to move the lineup around a little bit. We

566
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: saw where Jason Peters played some left tackle. You put

567
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith over her left guard. They haven't, mister Pete,

568
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: we haven't looked at this offensive line said you're the

569
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: problem here in a league where offensive line play is

570
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: a serious problem. And what you just said also happened.

571
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: That included with five games of a backup quarterback. That's

572
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Sarry going. Yeah, So if the Cowboys are telling you

573
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: this is what we plan to do, why not trust them?

574
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: Because so far I think they've burned well. But people

575
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: will say this, this is very is a very popular take.

576
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: It happened a lot with Zeke last year. So you

577
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: bring up Philman. What if Philman wants to stay with

578
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: what he's got right now, but he's being told no, no,

579
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Tyrant goes back in there. I'm not saying that that's

580
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: the case, but I'm a lot of fans believe that

581
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: that a lot of these decisions, a lot of these

582
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: decisions are made because you know, Jerry Jones is like, no, no, no,

583
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: when seventy seven's back, keys out there, don't care what

584
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: the coaching steps has, seventy seven will be out there,

585
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: you know. So as long as Joe Philbin is getting

586
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: this is who he wants in. I'm on the side

587
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff on this. Whatever whoever they want

588
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: out their best five, they've to your point, proven that

589
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: they that they deserve to have thee Yeah, you know,

590
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: I was one of those guys. I was one of

591
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: those Colins guys. Yeah, it comes back there. Be honest too,

592
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean for me, I mean I was one where

593
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: I thought they needed upgraded center and I don't hear

594
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: anything about be honest, you know, I mean other than

595
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: some good things. I mean, he's he moves people, and

596
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: the shotgun snaps have been great. You do not see

597
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: that as an issue, and that was one of his

598
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: things his rookie year was the shotgun snaps were not

599
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: good enough. Um, and that's why Looney played a lot

600
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 1: over him. But he's cleaned that up. He's cleaned up

601
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: some of his penalties. I don't think he gets knocked

602
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: back that that often, you know. I think he's he's

603
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: been a really good player and another guy, Philbin has

604
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: developed Tyler Smith too McGovern as well. The tarn Steele

605
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: one will always be the one for me because to

606
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: new He's point, it's not only be honest, you're kind

607
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: of what are your other options you have? Frederick's gone,

608
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of it it. They've and they

609
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: tried working out tons of guys to be back up

610
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: and they can't even come close. So you're you're you're

611
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: forced to deal it with Terren Steele. You did have

612
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: Lall Collins there and most people myself definitely thought, come on,

613
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: what are you doing. You gotta put Lyle back at right,

614
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: and they didn't, and now they got a guy will

615
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: probably be the Cowboys right tackle for a long time,

616
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: and it's an undrafted guy that everybody obviously passed on.

617
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: And another we talk about, you know your roster, the

618
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: guy you got it. You're gonna have to try and

619
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: get to a contract here soon, and he's gonna make

620
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: a nice pay day. So yeah, it doesn't sound like

621
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: his agent is ready for or I don't know who

622
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: his agent is, but it sounds like it's not one

623
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: of those like, hey, you know, remember when we signed

624
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: you and we made you a starter, and how about

625
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: we do a three year, four year No, no, no, no.

626
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: They know what the deal is. They know he's already

627
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: a top ten straight cash, top ten right tackle, yeah,

628
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: in the in the league. And yeah, he's gonna be tough.

629
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about tough to sign, but I mean

630
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: he's he's not gonna be cheap. You know, you're making

631
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: sure you're not giving any of that extra money to

632
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that's not currently in the building. You can.

633
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and I give the Cowboys credit for for

634
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: for looking that way, like this was one hey come

635
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: in and help us this year. You know that you

636
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: somebody said it, Oh he's cleared. Obj is cleared. He's

637
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: ready to go, and that's what got everything kind of

638
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, stirring the pot again, when in reality it's

639
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: like no, no, no team has said he's cleared, uh,

640
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: and he isn't. And then now you're looking into next

641
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: year and the Cowboys wouldn't be in the market for

642
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: older wide receivers who don't play special teams that want

643
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money. They're not they're not gonna beat.

644
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: They're gonna have enough. They got twenty free agents on

645
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: this roster. And if you just go through the list

646
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: of twenty free agents, about fifteen or sixteen of them,

647
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: you'd say, man, I'd like to have him back. You're

648
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: not gonna get him all back. And I also look

649
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: at how they got saved by Randy Gregory, um deciding

650
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: not to take that money, and then they did eat

651
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: the money up. And while they were heavily criticized when

652
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: they well, we're gonna put it towards these three players.

653
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: Um Man, yeah, you're so happy Randy Gregory decided to

654
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: take the seventy million because dors Arms with eight sacks

655
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: right now, you got Follower at five sacks, and then

656
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: you got young Sam Williams here, who you know, imagine

657
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: what he could be with a full offseason and a

658
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: matter understand how a lot is your coaching staff that

659
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: you have a coaching staff and in this case, is

660
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: on the defense that has identified guys that work in

661
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: their system, and hey, make sure you bring back these guys.

662
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: And then when those guys are taken care of, whether

663
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: it's guys that they sign, trade for, or add through

664
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: the draft, they get on the field and they do

665
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: the things that the coaches. You know there I'm obviously

666
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: talking about Tristan Hill and Taco Charlton. You know, you

667
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: can have a coaching staff that really wants wants guys

668
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: and then they get there and you're just like, whoa,

669
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: that's not the that's not that's not what we thought

670
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: we were getting at all, you know, And don't forget

671
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: too about when you're talking about dan Quinn and in

672
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: developing guys, I mean, don't don't don't forget that. Randy

673
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Gregory was in that same boat. He had his best

674
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: year of his career under dan Quinn and last season

675
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: and that was what kind of helped him get that contract,

676
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were certainly willing to do it. But

677
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean he hasn't. He's never had a year the

678
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: way Dorian's Armstrong is having this year. And I think

679
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: on top of the eight sacks, that's even more impressive

680
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: is that he eat block. He's blocked special to three kicks.

681
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: The one in the game the other day went through.

682
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: But if that thing trickles down and goes short, that

683
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: would have been his third blocked kick. Because he's got

684
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: his hand on it just went through, it doesn't count

685
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: as a block. He's blocked a punt in a field goal,

686
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: and then he got his hand on a third way.

687
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I didn't know that didn't count as a block.

688
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he counts to make sense past.

689
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a receiver deflecting the past, but

690
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: he's still catching it. You don't. Yeah, I didn't know that,

691
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, who who can have eight sacks and

692
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: do all that tear? Steel's restricted this year. Rett probably

693
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: put the first round tender on him. Okay, so you

694
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: put the first round tender on him, and you franchise

695
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Pollard right now if you don't get a deal done.

696
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what that number is for for running back.

697
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Twelve twelve twelve six I believe is what it is

698
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: what Crispy and he looks up for So I'm just

699
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: looking at term it just like okay, right now, what

700
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: would you do with your money? See I think Pollard.

701
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: I could be wrong here, but you do that with Pollard,

702
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: But you might get an opportunity to give him three

703
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: or four year deal with more guaranteed you know, not

704
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: twelve per year, but maybe more guaranteed money. And as

705
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: a running back in his going into his fifth year,

706
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: he might be I mean, he might be smart to

707
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: do that because when running backs, when it ends for them,

708
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: it ends quickly, right, and it could be his fifth

709
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: year and all of a sudden it doesn't doesn't go well,

710
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: they draft a running back, he gets more snapped and

711
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: then now what so he might he might look at, yeah,

712
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: we'll sign the franchise tag, but a long term deal

713
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: that's less than twelve million a year but still gives

714
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: you more guaranteed might be something. The thing that you

715
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: get into is what if he is this there's still

716
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: so much of that, you know, you talk about the

717
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: media this season coming up. What if he's just a

718
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: monster like in the playoffs, like multiple big runs things

719
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: like that, like to the contract of what you're talking about,

720
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: might even be like, well, well, we can't even do that.

721
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: So that's when I think the franchise that comes in

722
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: because you cannot let him leave the building. I'm just saying,

723
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: if he's making these game breaking plays, but you're winning

724
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: playoff games with him, they're not letting them leave the building. No. No,

725
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying let him leave. I'm saying, do the

726
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: franchise like you're talking about. But when he thinks about

727
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: it over the summer, like, all right, do I want

728
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: to go into another friend contract year? Yeah, I mean

729
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: twelve million a year. But what if they're offered me

730
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: nine million a year for five years? Yeah, with thirty

731
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. I'm like, yeah, all right, now I have

732
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: twelve million guarantee. Yeah, he might consider doing that because

733
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: running the life expectancy of running backs doesn't isn't the same. Hey, look,

734
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: I thought adult Schultz would get a multi year done,

735
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: so you know he had a number in mind. So

736
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: this is where the ages play into. But when I

737
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: bring up that that number for him in a franchise,

738
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: I just think myself, at minimum, I know he's in

739
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: the building. Yeah, you know, just that like, that's that's

740
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: the one guy who's gonna come up that you know, hey,

741
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: you can't get out of You got that budgeted right now.

742
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's what it is. Eleven million or now

743
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: you're asking for twelve. You're not gonna keep Shultz. I

744
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't think now, these two young tight ends, and you know,

745
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm I don't think there's a need for another. I mean,

746
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: they've played pretty well without him, you know, I like Charlton.

747
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't see Oh, I mean, well, yeah,

748
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: it's but it's also one of those things where you

749
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: don't get to keep every single person. You like, you

750
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: have to look at the roster and be like, yeah,

751
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna drop down a little bit, but I'd rather

752
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: drop down this little notch here than if we do

753
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: this move over here and we lose all of this.

754
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: You know, so there is gonna You're not gonna get

755
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: everybody back. Goes back to what he said earlier about

756
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: Moleague Davis. Yeah, no one sitting here and saying that

757
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: he is the best running back on the team. He

758
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: should be getting. But you're gonna have to make some

759
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: difficult decisions along the way when you're paying Dak Prescott

760
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: what you're paying him, and you're gonna be paying Michael

761
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: Parsons and dray Vine Diggs and Zeede Lamb and you

762
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: know all these other guys that are that are paid

763
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: amongst the highest of their positions. I'm a huge fan

764
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: of of what Dalton Chiltz has been able to do

765
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: when he came out of Stanford. Um, they've now shown

766
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: they have a formula and they can identify tight end

767
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: talent here it fits what they want. And Lunda Wells

768
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: has been a great and great coach. I mean, he

769
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: has done a great job of developing guys. So you're

770
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: just gonna do that again. I mean that's so it'll

771
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: be a conversation most likely to adult show. Hey look,

772
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: we love you, we appreciate you, thank you, And he's

773
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna want to go get us, get his bag somewhere,

774
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: and they're going they're going, right, They're going to be

775
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: some teams who are gonna give him the contract you want.

776
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are gonna have to because of the

777
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: way the roster is setting. Who they have to pay

778
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: go out and just okay, who's coming out in the

779
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: draft is forms a tight end. Yeah, I was gonna

780
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: say it too about Dalton. Chelton ton of respect for

781
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: him for how he's handled this year. Been a frustrating

782
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: year with the injury and one wanted a contract. Here

783
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: are these young guys and they're going around and they're

784
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: lassoing each other up and in the kettle and all that.

785
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: He's right there with it, right, he's not big boying

786
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: him like we've seen other better end tight ends do

787
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: with younger tight ends, you know, like like because you

788
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: know he's like, no, I mean, I get it, you're

789
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: trying to take my job, but you haven't right now

790
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: and we're all in one room and we're gonna have

791
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: some fun. And he's handled this in a very very

792
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: mature way, and I have a lot of respect for him.

793
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to be here next year,

794
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: but hopefully he'll get paid pretty pretty nicely. What you're

795
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: saying right there, that gets around, and that gets a

796
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: right And when people are sitting out here talking about,

797
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, doling out contracts, and then teams are gonna

798
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: ask because you know, surely somebody it's it's there's no

799
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: secrets in this league. So somebody's gonna call Mike mccarthur

800
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: and Lunda Wells and he's gonna be able to say,

801
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, hey, man, guy was not happy. He wanted

802
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: a deal, but boy, look at the growth these guys

803
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: were able to look at him. He taught them. He

804
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: did his part, so hopefully it works out for him.

805
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: Kind of like they think about Alex Smith and everything

806
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: Alex Smith did for Patrick Mahomes with Kansas City and

807
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: helping him get along here, and then the Andy Reich tried.

808
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: They tried to do as best they could for him

809
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: and sit up to Washington. They game a deal up there.

810
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: Unfortunately got hurt, but he got the contract he needed

811
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like, hey, he was rewarded

812
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: for being a good guy. And I would like to

813
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: think that could happened for Dalton Schultz as well. But

814
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: they just can't pay everybody because they got some really

815
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: good football players are trying to keep around here. And

816
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: let's get another break in here when we come back.

817
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: Because Clarence was here yesterday, we didn't really dive into

818
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I went to having Brett Mohur, what

819
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,879

861
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com the originator, Now, Gredy, you got

862
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: John Shoulder of the athletic I'm knew, he scrugs. The

863
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: past two games they have not needed Brett ma hurt

864
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: that they just not need to Brett my hurt on.

865
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: It's been killing my personal fantasy team. But um, you're

866
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: getting towards the end here, and once you start talking

867
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: about the playoffs, you need a good field goal kicker.

868
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: And I just think this is a really underrated story

869
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: of this team, considering how scared we all were training

870
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: camp just to stand underneath those trees. Because these I mean,

871
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: these kickers. You have to actually have fans. I hate duck.

872
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Watch out they're kicking. They're guys. Turn around, they're kicking.

873
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: One guy couldn't get into the trees. I mean, seriously,

874
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: in the trees are fifteen yards behind the goal posts.

875
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: We're talking like extra points. I mean, there wasn't always

876
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: getting it into the trees. My thing is, okay, it's

877
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: first of all that you had these other kickers you

878
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: went into camp with, he was not one of which,

879
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: and he's not on anybody's team with how well he's

880
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: kicked this year, that's the thing, Like this looks like

881
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: something where, yeah, maybe somebody cut this player going in

882
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: because they're like, hey, we drafted a kicker, so we

883
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: got to kind of get rid of him. But he's solid, Like, no,

884
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: this guy was on the street, he didn't have a

885
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: job at all, and then this way he's performed this year.

886
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know, there's part of it. You gotta think.

887
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a little bit of luck involved, I

888
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: would think, But I did understand it for a minute.

889
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: It like, wait, he was with in New Orleans last year,

890
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: but then I forgot Will Lutz was hurt and Lots

891
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: is a good kicker, so so um but man, it's

892
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: it's one of the underrated stories. And obviously, you know,

893
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: kickers don't win come back Players of the Year and

894
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But in terms of us covering

895
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you could not have seen a guy who

896
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: left out of here with it was like, good riddance,

897
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: get this guy going, and when he came back, don't

898
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe not to that level. But don't

899
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: you feels a little bit like that was their line. Yeah,

900
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really wanted to see It's always

901
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: that way with yeah really, I mean, yeah, you're you're right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

902
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: So but when he came out, it's like, really, we

903
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: were at camps, that is right, And and the way

904
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: he's performed, he's been. Good side of it is, though,

905
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: is that you look at Garabay and how bad he was,

906
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: You're just like, how did he even get an invite?

907
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: And there were portions of this offseason where he was

908
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: the only kicker like that. They so obviously they knew, hey,

909
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: this will be our only kicker right now, but there

910
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: are other options we have we can go with. But I, honestly,

911
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: full disclosure, thought this was going to be a little

912
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: bit of a merry go round. I thought we were

913
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: going to see multiple kickers in here. I didn't it funny,

914
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: how like when you think about your special teams, you

915
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: know you've you've you've got about four guys that are

916
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: that are always kind of in the mix. Here you

917
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: got your punter or your kicker, your deep snapper, and

918
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: your returner. And three of those four guys were not

919
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 1: even with the Cowboys are on an NFL roster. When

920
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: training camp began, Kavante Turpin was not on anyone's team, correct,

921
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: and neither was Overton, you know. And obviously with with

922
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: the McQuaid getting hurt, they brought him in and Maher

923
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: wasn't on a team either, you know. And these in

924
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: overtons has been good, I mean, just solid, like like

925
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: all snappers typically are. But I mean my ha's been outstanding.

926
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: And I think Cavanta Turpin's one of the more underrated

927
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: players on the team, I really do. I think I

928
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: think he's become a weapon. Didn't even have to have

929
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: the ball in his hand. I think on punt returns

930
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: you see a lot of short punts, now high punts,

931
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: not just kicking a deep and letting him go and

932
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: getting all excited in the crowd getting into it. You

933
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: don't see that a lot. I think what he's already

934
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: put on tape is helping this team without even seeing it. Sure, uh,

935
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: my thing with the as good as myer has been

936
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: all year, I'll just keep going back to that. The

937
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: sixty yard or that gets well, nope, doesn't count. Review

938
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: in Minnesota right before halftime and for him to come

939
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: back out there and kick an even better kick from

940
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: sixty yards. I don't know that we have seen we

941
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: would have seen that from him in years past, And um,

942
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Like I when they signed him, I

943
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: did not look at him as a guy that I

944
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: would have been super confident if he comes out there

945
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: forty yard field goal to win the game. But now, yeah,

946
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm fully confident that to put him out

947
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: there in any of those situations. So, um, safe to

948
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: say we're all in agreement. Cowboys win this game. Yeah, yeah, Okay,

949
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: So that makes ten wins and that would be back

950
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 1: to back ten wins seasons for the first time since

951
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven when Barry Switzer, I should say, when

952
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Cowboys went ten and six, Sorry in ninety seven,

953
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: they win six and ten, but ten and six nineteen nine,

954
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: ninety six, dolls Cowboys team. And they're gonna have to

955
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: win eleven games this year, just so all those people

956
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: that are like, well there's an extra game, they can't

957
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: go ten and seven. They're gonna have to win at

958
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: least eleven games. For ten and seven would be the

959
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: wheels falling off. No question, but it still would be

960
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: a stat in that book for sure that there was

961
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: the first time. I think I think this team is

962
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: anything short of I mean, well, I think you could

963
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: be thirteen and four and there'd be some there would

964
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: be some excitement going into this. Yeah, but if you're

965
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: twelve and five, I mean, especially if we're factoring in

966
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: a potential end of games, you know, end a season

967
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: game that doesn't mean much, you know. I don't know

968
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: that one's gonna be tricky because you know it'll mean

969
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: something for Washington. Yeah. Um, but what I see happening

970
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: is is I see the Cowboys being one game behind Philly. Yeah,

971
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: and you have to play it because and if they

972
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: do lose, you're gonna win the tiebreak if you beat Washington.

973
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to like go in and play

974
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: you know, half hardly keep it in your scenario, then

975
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: they would go fourteen and three. That would be wild. Well.

976
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: I never was going to lose a couple of times.

977
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Philly's got another loss in them,

978
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: and the Cowboy loss, I do. I don't. I think

979
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: they have one loss left him, I really do. I

980
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be the Cowboys but I don't think

981
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose any of those games. And the Giants

982
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: and Giants, the schedule is just not that. It's not.

983
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: When they when they plowed through the Titans the way

984
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: they did, I was like, damn, that's one of them

985
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: that they went then to escape. I guess the way

986
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: they did against Indie. Yeah, that I was like, Yeah,

987
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: those are the ones that probably had to be lost.

988
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: See what the weather looks like in Chicago. I don't

989
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: have to play at the Bears, I think, so that'll

990
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: mean that could be interesting game. Yeah, you never know.

991
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: Bears are Bears are tricky. Yeah, check on the roster

992
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: here on the ninety six Cowboy team. Here we go,

993
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: let's go. Herschel Walker was on that team. I wouldn't

994
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: not have guessed that that's right. So just looking some

995
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: of the names here, herschel Walker was on team. Uh

996
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: Dion obviously was on the team. But you're starting defensive guys,

997
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: Tony told were Chad Hannings, Leon led Seante Carver, Charles Haley,

998
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: Hervan McCormick, Broderick, Thomas Randall, Godfrey French, Strickland, darn Smith,

999
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: Eleven Smith, Deon Sanders Darren Woodson, Brock Mary and George Teague.

1000
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: I was in down here at the time. Was the

1001
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: feel that they still had because you right off, those

1002
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of great players. There was the feel like, hey,

1003
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: they could still get back to another one or ninety

1004
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: six were already about that about that season. That's a

1005
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 1: little different season. Michael everyone was suspended the first five

1006
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: games of the year. That's why dion started at wide receiver,

1007
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: which I think is still money starts once the most

1008
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: underrated feat. Yeah and if it's amazing, yeah, and he played,

1009
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, and then when Michael came back, um, they started,

1010
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: you know, getting going. I think they were two and

1011
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: three when those first five games. Um, but it had

1012
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: a huge win against Philadelphia in that fifth game, and

1013
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: then Irvan was in the building at twelve oh one

1014
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: back and they got they got a roll on. They

1015
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: went ten and six. But late in the year, leon

1016
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: Lett got suspended. He was playing great football, he got

1017
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: suspended and that that kind of set him back. But

1018
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people believe that they went

1019
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: to Carolina and they played in the playoffs, and I

1020
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: mean Irving got hurt in the first drive, Dionne got

1021
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: hurt in there as well, and they didn't. They didn't win,

1022
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: and say, I just feel like, looking at it back now,

1023
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: it's easy to sit there and say they would, But

1024
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you had just experienced, you know, ninety two,

1025
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: nine ninety five, I find it hard to believe that

1026
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: the time people weren't feeling like, yeah, all you need

1027
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: is just like to make this move or this guy's

1028
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: and then there we're going to be right back in it.

1029
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, Like, I find hard to believe that people

1030
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: are like, just blow this thing up. They're not going

1031
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: to get back there again. No, No, the way they played,

1032
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: because because the way they won their playoff game against

1033
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota was like this team's ready to yeah, big, big win,

1034
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: and then you know, you lose the Carolina as you

1035
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: said twenty six seventeen, you lose in Charlotte, and then

1036
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Carolina ends up losing that next week. So when did

1037
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: they finally? When did when? Because I obviously was a

1038
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: nine sent when did you finally you were like, no,

1039
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: it's done. Nine to seven and ninety seven, there were

1040
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: six and ten that was and they were like six

1041
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: and five and then lost five. Never any feel that

1042
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: they just they go make this move or that move

1043
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: they can maybe well, you know, and then ninety I

1044
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: was just telling the story to somebody the other day

1045
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: about a toe injury and ninety eight, this team was

1046
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: eight three and Dione got hurt and he hurt his

1047
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: toe and he didn't play I don't think the rest

1048
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: of the season until the playoffs. But they that's when

1049
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: Randy Moss and Thanksgiving Day game came in. And I

1050
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: mean people kind of forget like that Cowboys were eight

1051
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: and three. They were a really good team that year.

1052
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: Vikings were just incredible, and they didn't have any corners

1053
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: because you know, Dionne was hurt and Kevin Smith I

1054
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: think was her. They have anybody that day and but

1055
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: but that was a good team, but Dionne got hurt

1056
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: that whole season. I mean, they they limped to the

1057
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: finish line and then lost in the playoffs. But fun

1058
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,160
