What'd you guys get to before you we got? 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.840 We got to I don't know. I raced it before 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.440 I raced it before this show. I don't know. I 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.680 don't remember. Probably like six it was, no, it was undred, definitely, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.640 it's probably a round one hundred, probably around one hundred 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.800 and fifteen twenties. Huh. Yeah. I got my guys here 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.160 with me, Nick Eatman, Dave Hellman, Brian brought us, and 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.440 of course I'm back. So the show is now going 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.320 to be really, really great. So I'm glad you guys 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.760 tuned in today. Here's some of this good talk on 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.080 Cowboys football, and we've got some stuff to talk about 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.600 Cowboys have gotten a little busy this week in free agency. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.160 There are three players that have been in the building. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.760 One at the Cowboys have signed this week and now. Actually, 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.000 there are a couple of other guys that have been signed. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.680 We'll get into some of those a little bit later, 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.240 but I want to start first with the big signing. Yesterday, 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:30.360 Cowboys agreed to terms with Randall Cobb, wide receiver from 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.399 the Green Bay Packers. They signed him to a one year, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.559 five million dollar deal. He is an eight year vet 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.960 twenty eight years old. His best season was in two fourteen, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.120 where he had ninety one catches, one hundred and eighty 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:47.400 seven yards twelve touchdowns. Phenomenal year. However, he's missed only 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.600 eleven games in the last three seasons. It's not horrible, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.480 but not great. And in twenty eighteen had nine games 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.440 that he played, six starts, thirty eight receptions, three hundred 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.080 and eighty three yards, two touchdowns. Why they're dropping two 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.920 thousand and eighteen, let's start there, well as I'll go ahead. Sorry, Well, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.640 the team wasn't very good either, I mean, like, um, 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.480 Aaron Rodgers dropped, I mean a lot of I mean 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.960 that they had issues obviously, we're, as Parcels would say, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.080 trying to keep you know, our house from burning down. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.000 So I don't really know exactly what was going on there, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:21.799 but I know that their team wasn't as good and 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:26.240 and you know that's Randall Cobb has been a really 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.839 good player for for that team and on a great 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.840 quarterback and with a great quarterback. Uh so when when 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.079 he has has struggled and you know, they've had a 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.480 lot of dysfunction, it seemed like with the offense and 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.079 hoop pointing fingers and all that. So uh, you know, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.400 he was a good role player and it all kind 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.959 of went down and so um, but he's still those 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.160 two touchdowns, one of them I believe was a seventy 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.960 five yard touchdown to win the game against the Bear. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.880 So he's got some down field production that's that you 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.120 don't we haven't seen from a slot receiver. Yeah, they 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.000 started the opening day with him, and I mean they've 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.959 they've really featured him. He made some incredible plays and 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.520 then as you go through this season, you know there 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.519 was a couple of times the Washington game, you know, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.320 his numbers were low. I was trying to kind of 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.519 see division opponents maybe somebody that he played that you know, 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.480 he would play against in Washington just happened to be 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.040 one of them. I mean, he runs a route that's 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.200 beautiful that you know, gets himself inside and it drops 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.760 the ball. It would have been probably a sixty yard pass. 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.520 But he doesn't drop many passes. I mean, Nick's right. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.040 I think where that they had some dysfunction with the offense. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.160 The quarterback was you know, kind of off early, he 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.880 got banged up a little bit, and then they were 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.880 trying to get him to football, you know when they could. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.000 But it just he's still when you watch him play, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.440 everything underneath is really really good, you know. And you know, 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.120 obviously I think, oh you can use him as an 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.960 outside receiver as well down the field. I don't know 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.240 if it's that, you know. I mean, I'm not saying 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280 it's it's not like Beasley. I think it's probably a 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.240 little bit better than what you get from Beasley down 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.040 the field. But he's going to do very similar things 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.240 to what Beasley does. Again, and the report I just 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.760 watched them table this morning watching play against New England, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.400 and people like that. He does all the underneath stuff, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.840 but where he's different is the run after the catch. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.000 That's where you know, with Beasley, you get you get throw, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.520 it's an eight yard catch and he's down. With this guy, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.120 you get a catch, you get a move, another move, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.000 and then you get a fourteen fifteen yard game with 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.400 the way he plays. So I think that's where the 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.880 big guy. I think Beasley is probably quicker than him. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.680 For I think, though you talk about the physicality which 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.400 the player plays with out of the slot is going 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.320 to be different. And now with with Randall cop he's 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.120 a secure catcher of the football. You know, you put 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.400 it anywhere in that catch radius, he's going to make 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.440 a play. But the physicality in which he plays with 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.600 is going to be completely different than Cole Beasley. The 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.360 irony which to answer your question, he couldn't shake a 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.160 hamstring injury last year. It kept him out and as 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.120 somebody who had him on my fantasy team, I know, 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.040 like from a week to every were looking at everything, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.280 like you know, I was like, well, Copple will be 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.720 back this week, and like that's Rogers guy, Like he's 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.240 gonna come through. Nope, he's an active again. Okay, Oh, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.440 he's an active again. Okay. Cool. So I think he 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.680 missed six games, five in a row, something like that. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.320 It was a big part of it. But you know, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.880 twenty eight year old Pro bowlers aren't cheap if they're healthy, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320 Like that's that's part of it. Hopefully he can shake it. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.600 I do. It's funny. The reason I said irony is 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.600 because the Cowboys have had so many problems with hamstrings, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.400 and I don't think there's an injury that makes fans 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.599 matter faster than hamstring. Like you don't want to see 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.200 that on an injury report. So it's something to watch. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.160 Hopefully he can shake it. But the year the year 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:41.040 before last year, twenty seventeen, without Rogers playing a significant 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.960 chunk of the season, he had sixty six catches for 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.080 six fifty three and four touchdowns, which is right up there, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.320 if not better than basically all of Cole Beasley seasons. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.120 You know what, I like what Brian is saying. You know, 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.240 let's let's don't act like he's gonna just go down 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.520 the field all the time I had vertical. But what 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.640 I do think is in this whole thing is it's 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.720 about Marie Cooper. Marie Cooper is your stud wide receiver. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.640 He's your star. He can actually play all these positions 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.120 and when he does slide inside because that is the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.480 most favorable matchup. You don't have to take Cobb off 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.520 the field like Beasley really needed to come off the field. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.560 You can still do the things you need to do. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.840 He won't be a strong suit, but it is something 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.200 that he can do. So so talk to me about 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.200 his comparison to Cole Beasley. Brian just kind of started 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.760 breaking out some of those comparisons. Is this a better 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.560 move for the Cowboys? Have they upgraded this position or 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.799 do you think it's it's less than you had before? 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.240 And why? I think it's very similar to what you had. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.480 I think it's you know, if you're trying to protect 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.120 yourself and say, okay, if we're going to lose something, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.440 what are we losing? You know, we're losing this number 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.600 of catches. I think this guy is capable of making 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.200 those plays. I think where where this guy? Again? I 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.560 keep saying this this guy is different. Is he has 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.800 an idea that where the sticks are? You know, when 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.880 he catches the ball and it's a third and seven 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.400 and he catches a five yard pass, he's going to 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.680 run over somebody to get eight yards. He is going 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.359 to make sure that he's beyond the sticks. He's going 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.640 to make sure. He's actually a pretty good red zone 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.280 player too. Now, again, Cowboys don't use red zone receivers 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.560 very much since des Brian has walked out of here. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.680 It's hand the ball off, you know, And so those 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.480 numbers kind of a little bit skewed. But you watch 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.920 Rogers and stuff throw him the football, I mean, he 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.480 knows how to get separation separation. Cole Beasley is very similar. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.000 So I think that to me, it's it's all of 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.640 those things, say, oh yeah, they completely upgraded. Where they 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.920 upgraded is with a with a with a more physical 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.200 player when it comes to throwing him the football underneath 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.640 and then him getting north and south really quickly. I 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.440 think they completely upgraded, to be perfectly honest, and I 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.720 hate to throw dirt on a guy leaving town, like 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.320 I don't you know, I think Cole Beasley is a 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.960 really good player. I think he's an underrated player. And again, 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.200 Ranald Cobb's health is going to be a big part 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.760 of this. If he can't get on the field, it's 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.280 it's not gonna matter. But you're talking about a guy 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.200 who can play inside and outside. I know you know, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.000 he's probably not going to spend a ton of time 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.840 just racing downfield because that's not Dax game. But he 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.280 can you go. Nick brought it up just now. He 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.720 catches a twelve yard in, breaks a tackle, houses at 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.760 seventy five yards and most of that is his work. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.880 Cole Beasley's not doing that. He never did that in 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.720 his career. UH twenty thirteen Hail Mary to beat the 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.480 Bears to make the playoffs, gets behind the defense and 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.760 catches a sixty five yard bomb to win the game. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.160 Cole Beasley did that once in his final regular season 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.560 game with the Calvins catch on a broken play. He 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.720 didn't catch any balls in the playoffs at all. No, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.680 I was just talking about if you remember the Giants game. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.280 I'm being I'm being what's I'm being a stickler because 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.240 I'm sure he caught some balls in the playoffs. Sure, yeah, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.199 that's that's not Cole Beasley's game. Randall Cop can do 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.719 that again. He can move out. I'm fascinated by the 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.160 thought that Amari Cooper and Randall Cop can both move 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.880 inside and outside. They can both create separation within twelve yards, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.559 they can both go downfield. It's gonna it's gonna hinge on. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.240 I mean the downfield stuff gets covered with him. That's 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.920 that with Cope, the downfield stuff does get covered. I'm 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.040 sure it does. I mean he can. The separation for 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:09.240 Cobb is underneath. That's where the separation route running. He can. 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.280 When you watch him play, his ability to he has 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.880 the same ability as Cole Beasley is to spin receivers 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.480 or excuse me, to spin the corners, you know, to 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.920 his route right, it reminds me of like when you 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.280 watch Miles Austin Nick run routes or Derek when it's 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.120 all the same speed, it's not there's not any kind 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.559 of hesitation or wasted motion or stuff. But when you 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.720 I think, when you talk about extended speed down the field, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.040 I'm not sitting there saying run him on nine routes 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.360 and run him on deep on digs and stuff like that. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.559 I'm definitely not suggesting that I am. I am saying 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.920 I think, would you agree he poses a more realistic 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.400 threat fifteen and twenty and twenty five yards down the 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.600 field and colbs, Yeah, I'd say that in the fifteen 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.520 eighteen yard range absolutely, Because there's times when you watch 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.360 him down the field when Rogers would try and throw 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.240 him the ball, there's not the separation, right, the long 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.000 speed is not and that's but you watch cool Beach. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.360 What's the problem with Cool Beasy. Cole Beasley was too short. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.319 You couldn't see him down the field right now. This 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.720 guy's five ten, but he is a physically bigger player 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.480 when than what Cole Beasley is, I would say that's 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.199 Cole Beasley is a quicker player than him. I will say, 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.520 you don't have any problem. He's a quicker player. But 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.839 but where this guy gets separation is his ability to 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.920 win off the line and then lean on a guy 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.200 and then get into the break. I think that's where 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.800 he's gonna He's gonna do some good head thirteen touchdowns 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.520 with thirty yards or more and Beasley had two. Again, 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.720 I mean these are it's just easy to compare the two. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.280 But I also think it's important to also remember that 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.719 NFL teams are doing their homework. The Cowboys have done 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.040 their homework, the Bills, all these teams have done their homework. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.559 There's a reason why Beasley's market value is higher, and 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.560 it was even higher for the Cowboys, who I believe 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.920 offered him a six million per year, constrobably all about 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.599 the injuries, right right, So it's like on paper, you 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.480 can sit here and say he's more productive, he's he's 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.439 got more you know, touchdowns down the field, um, but 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.760 more catches, more yards, stats, Pro Bowls. But the market 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.360 value was hired for Beasley. Yeah, I think that's all 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.280 about the fact that you look at right now, the 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:09.840 players that we're going to talk about a little bit 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.439 throughout the show. They're players that the reason why the 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.800 Cowboys have interest and the reason why the Cowboys are 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.760 talking to them is because there's big upside and but 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.720 there's risk, and the risk typically is associated with injury, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.439 and so it's either injury or age, and so it's 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.679 one of those things where of course his value is 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.400 higher because Cole has been a relatively healthy player for 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.040 most of his career. Randall Cobb has not been. But 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.400 the upside if you can get him on one of 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.079 those healthy years can be significant. And that's why the 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.000 Cowboys are willing to go here. I think this is 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.360 this is a higher upside than the guys that they 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.560 typically bring in, right in my opinion. I mean, Carrie 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.520 Hyder had an eight sack year don't. I don't think 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.199 even they're expecting that from him. You know, like he's 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.839 clearly a bridge signing, a guy that can come in 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.679 and play. Maybe you draft at that position. I think 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.400 Randall Cobb, if he's healthy, I think I think his 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.360 upside is far higher than most Cowboys free agents. Yep. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.240 And the thing I love about this signing particularly is 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.319 because I think it gives you one more guy in 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.599 this offense who can take at the distance. Because you 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.800 think about it, right now, you got Zeke, You've got 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.880 Maari Cooper, You've got Gallup who's become a bit of 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.040 a deep threat for them. Let's see if he continues 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.320 to develop in that way. But you look at all 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.320 those different options, you look at even a guy like Tavon, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.640 if they figure out how to use him, he has 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.439 the ability with deep with speed to be able to 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.640 make big plays. The point is, there are a lot 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.960 of guys that will be on the field that defenses 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.760 have to be aware that whenever they catch the ball, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.439 even if it's a short route, if the guy doesn't 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.600 make the tackle, they have the speed to be able 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.800 to get downfield and make a big play out of it. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:42.959 That I think helps us offense. Yeah, this guy doesn't 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.600 have many poor passes thrown in this direction, but when 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.640 there are poor passes, you could see, I mean, the 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.599 guy's got some concentration on that. Rogers, Rogers will we 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.959 all know Rogers. He'll throw the ball and he'll throw 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:57.520 the ball to guys and you're like, he has no 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 whoa oh, why they caught it? You know, I mean 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.640 he'll put it between two guys like Cobb was running 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.160 around against against the Bears, where he wasn't I don't 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.360 think he was even expecting the ball. And the next 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.600 thing you know, it's between the linebacker and the safety, 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.599 and I mean Rogers just puts her and then and 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.000 Cobb just puts his hands up and it catches, and 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.880 you know, and he's now he's got, you know, thirteen 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.960 fourteen more yards. And so yeah, this guy is one 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.679 of those you're talking about something snatched the football. This 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.640 is what this quarterback here needs. He needs somebody though 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.079 when it is a bad ball, when it is a 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.040 bad throw that you know, and we've seen Cole Beasley 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.280 take it off the back of his helmet before, So 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.520 you need to continue to add guys like that that 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.520 can help the quarterback. How does this affect Alan Hearns guy, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.480 it's anybody, nobody. Alan Hearns can run for president here 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.520 and everybody would vote for him. I mean and the 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.319 great No, I mean every becomes him, hugs him and 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.839 he's glad to see him, and he's like no. But 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.560 more so than being a great guy, he is beloved 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.000 by decision makers here. Yeah, that's important to remember. I 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.319 think that. I think the fact that Alan Hearns with 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.520 and they made the trade and it looked like the 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.920 receiver by committee thing was not gonna work. Alan Hearns 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.680 could have like pouted and you know, been pissed off, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.000 and he might have been in private, but you know what, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.400 he kept coming to work when they did throw him 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.280 the ball. He did make some plays. There was always 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.840 like a game where you have one or two catches 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.719 and you're like, oh I had a touchdown, Oh he 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.040 had a twenty four yard catch. Oh okay. So I 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.680 think that's why everybody respects Alan Hearns. That when it 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.680 could have been really bad and he could have bitch, 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.920 moan and complaint, he didn't do any of that. I 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.040 think that's why people like him and respect him. Though. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.920 I don't know how this affects him. And I know 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.040 people want to say, let him go save money kind 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.400 of a thing. I mean I don't there's if you 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.840 look at it purely black and white, Yeah, you could 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.960 cut him and say, what four million dollars six Yeah, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.560 it looks like it looks like it would be a 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.280 five million dollars get the difference, which you could still 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.160 do that. You could, I mean, there's nothing stopping you 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.840 from doing that. But I don't think this means anything 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.640 right now. Again, it's a ninety man Rod. You get 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.040 into the offseason program, see how he's recovering. You could 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.160 even take him to training camp. Day's healthy, Like that's 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.480 another thing you absolutely. I mean, he's a guy that 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.520 can play inside and outside. Again, people might not want 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.760 to hear it, like they love his attitude and his 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.880 work ethic. He's much like Terrence Williams before him, Like 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.760 he's willing to do the boring, dirty stuff that coaches love. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.560 And that means something whether or not you want him 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.200 here or not. So I wouldn't write him off at all. No, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.760 I wouldn't write him off. But I'll say this, I 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.760 think that guys underneath hearns will be the one to 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.600 maybe push him out. And I say this because if, if, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.800 if Austin is a part of this thing, which I 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.480 think he will be from maybe a punt return. If 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.880 Austin's a part of this, You've got Cobb, You've got Gallup, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.520 you've got Cooper, You've got four wide receivers you know 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.480 aren't playing special teams for you. So you've got another 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.520 guy in there, Hearns, who doesn't do that. You know. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.200 I think that if if you see development out of 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.840 Noah Brown, maybe Cedric will, and you know, we'll see 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.160 about Lenore. I don't know. I'm not expecting a lot 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.920 from him, but I still think that they draft someone 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.840 if they cookie, If they draft someone now, it becomes 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.840 really interesting, right, especially in the top five rounds or so. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.800 So I just think that somebody might not Hearns out. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.200 It won't necessarily be Cobb. It could be the development 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.680 of a younger, cheaper guy if they can play special 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.520 team pressure. If they were to use a remotely valuable 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.920 draft pick on a wide receiver, I think that changes 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.120 things for Hearns. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right, let's take 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.520 our first break. When we come back, I want to 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.520 talk about Robert Quinn, Eric Berry two other players that 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.000 were in the building yesterday. We'll talk about what the 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.640 prospects are and why the Cowboys maybe should or should 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.680 not sign these two players.

While a player can 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.440 look good on paper, it's when he's out on the 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.720 field that you really find out what he's made of. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.119 That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:53.160 and scouting reports when building their team.
