Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: shot streaming live on Dallascowboys dot com and the official
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola.
Speaker 2: At least two of us are ready for the shot
Speaker 2: of for the start of shots. There is one person
Speaker 2: here in the s WBC podcast studio.
Speaker 3: Who was didn't have his headsets on.
Speaker 2: You not only didn't have your headset on viewers over
Speaker 2: there all right.
Speaker 4: He was was mumbling about something my volume.
Speaker 5: What it was? That boy?
Speaker 2: He was mumbling and grumbling. Grown belove, Mickey have mumbling
Speaker 2: and grumbling along with Bill Jones and Everson Walls. And
Speaker 2: this is another week of mix shots and Mickey I
Speaker 2: expected to come around the corner and look out on
Speaker 2: the practice field and maybe see football players on a football.
Speaker 5: Maybe I heard tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Tomorrow's okay, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Speaker 3: I think that's the schedule.
Speaker 5: Scheduled day is the player's day off.
Speaker 2: Today is a player's day.
Speaker 5: Everyone thinks, at least some of the radio states got
Speaker 5: to have a lot of thinking that today is Today
Speaker 5: is the day.
Speaker 3: Now that's they're allowed to start. I guess this week. Okay,
Speaker 3: but you got to have a full long weekend.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: So nothing on Friday and nothing on Monday. Probably, Well,
Speaker 3: usually in the off season program they go Monday Tuesday,
Speaker 3: they have Wednesday's arrest day or makeup day, and then
Speaker 3: they do Thursday Friday. Well, the Cowboys don't have as
Speaker 3: many as maybe that's why normally have it. Today they
Speaker 3: got they got doc from into physical doctor one.
Speaker 2: So that's why they're starting on Tuesday, not Monday.
Speaker 3: And well, no, that's why it's only it only lasts
Speaker 3: two weeks I believe, and then the mini camp.
Speaker 5: You're not sure, that's two weeks and then the mini
Speaker 5: camp and then.
Speaker 3: It is over. So there, okay, tell me, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Well what you said you were sure?
Speaker 3: Well, I knew what the schedule was, okay, And you
Speaker 3: normally get what nine ten of them?
Speaker 2: You normally get ten and back in the Jason Garrett days,
Speaker 2: one of them was the last one was when the
Speaker 2: high school kids came here.
Speaker 5: It feels like so long ago.
Speaker 2: So anyway, so we will make up for the Cowboys
Speaker 2: lack of a full allotment of organized team activities by
Speaker 2: having our own organized team activity today called mix shots.
Speaker 6: That's right, unorganized, Yeah, that's right, that's unorganized, all right.
Speaker 2: So Mickey's got his full legal pad there ever since
Speaker 2: trying to figure out his devices on my right and
Speaker 2: there's so much to get to.
Speaker 3: Right, where do you want to start?
Speaker 2: I want to start at the top of your legal pad.
Speaker 2: Having said that, here's where I want to go. Okay,
Speaker 2: at some point over the course of the next forty
Speaker 2: five to fifty minutes, how much better are the Cowboys
Speaker 2: now than they were a year ago at this time.
Speaker 2: You don't have to answer that now, just you can
Speaker 2: ponder it and give me something, give me up to
Speaker 2: speed on what you got on your legal pad there that.
Speaker 3: We owners owners meetings today today Minneapolis. I don't know
Speaker 3: if they'll get to it or not, but there's a
Speaker 3: chance they would vote on the change of ownership in
Speaker 3: Washington with Josh Harris's group seemingly having come to a
Speaker 3: deal with Dan Snyder, and I guess you know, it's
Speaker 3: not official until the owners agree to the sale, so
Speaker 3: that'll be one of the things that they I would
Speaker 3: imagine they talk about. And it seems like another topic
Speaker 3: that got shut down at the previous owners meeting was
Speaker 3: flexing Thursday night football.
Speaker 2: What do you think of that?
Speaker 5: Everson war say, flexing?
Speaker 2: Who's playing late in the season. I believe it's weeks
Speaker 2: thirteen through seventeen. I believe that's right, something like that.
Speaker 2: It was not approved in the March with a two
Speaker 2: week notice of fifteen day notice that they could flex.
Speaker 5: That sounds good.
Speaker 3: It got shot down, got shot down. Now it's coming
Speaker 3: up again as a twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Day with a twenty eight day notice.
Speaker 3: Too much change, that's right.
Speaker 4: I don't understand why they even turned down the first one.
Speaker 4: I like them fifteen days.
Speaker 3: Fifteen would be closer to being more as well one
Speaker 3: a better games.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons would be fans. In fact, I'll
Speaker 2: call up the schedule and we can look at well,
Speaker 2: we can look at what about the Cowboys are playing
Speaker 2: a Thursday night game this year the week after Thanksgiving? Okay,
Speaker 2: they got the Thursday afternoon game on Thanksgiving, right, and
Speaker 2: so that would be the start of it week thirteen
Speaker 2: against Seattle on a Thursday home game. So say you're
Speaker 2: a Cowboy fan and they're not going to flex out
Speaker 2: of the Cowboy game obviously on a Thursday. But let's
Speaker 2: just pretend here, okay, okay, and you're a fan from
Speaker 2: California or even Lovebook or wherever, and you're making plans
Speaker 2: that you want to come watch your team play on
Speaker 2: a Thursday night. You get airline reservations and so forth,
Speaker 2: and then and you get a cheap airfare to come
Speaker 2: in for the game, and or let's make it this way,
Speaker 2: Dallas is Let's say Dallas was playing at Seattle and
Speaker 2: you had an opportunity to go to that game, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you find out fifteen days
Speaker 2: in advance that they're not going to play that game now,
Speaker 2: and so you're out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're gonna play.
Speaker 3: They're just gonna play.
Speaker 2: They're playing on Sunday, they're not playing it on Thursday.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, But then that that messages yeah, that's right,
Speaker 4: So you're out whatever money is, out of money, that's right,
Speaker 4: And that's the NFL gives a damn.
Speaker 2: Well, there are some owners who do care about that.
Speaker 2: So that's why it did not get approved in the spring.
Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons.
Speaker 5: You think that's the reason.
Speaker 2: Well, they were vocal it was vocal about it that.
Speaker 5: That's that's a pleasant supply.
Speaker 4: But yeah, actually they were vocal about Joe public losing.
Speaker 5: Here. But here I didn't think they had it in them.
Speaker 3: Here's the other side of that. Okay, whatever Joe fan loses,
Speaker 3: they're worried about better games on Thursday night package for
Speaker 3: the network that's prop broadcasting game and they want to
Speaker 3: keep them interesting.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 3: They don't want any you know, no nothing.
Speaker 5: So the viewing the viewing public versus the visiting public.
Speaker 3: What they lose in attendance, they make up make up
Speaker 3: because that network exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Week fourteen, New England plays at Pittsburgh. And
Speaker 2: if let's say New England and Pittsburgh both got off
Speaker 2: to horrid starts this year, and now you're at the
Speaker 2: midway point of the season, and.
Speaker 5: You're looking at two losing teams, and you've got.
Speaker 2: Two teams that are with two and six records or whatever.
Speaker 2: And then they decide to flex out of that game,
Speaker 2: and and the other thing you're affecting, you're moving a
Speaker 2: Sunday game to Thursday, regularly scheduled Sunday game, and so
Speaker 2: then you've got, let's well, they're not going to do
Speaker 2: this with Dallas. Well they're not going to do that
Speaker 2: with Philadelphia Dallas either, But all right, you're taking a
Speaker 2: game and you're moving it to Thursday, and so you're
Speaker 2: messing up those fans plans too, that we're planning to
Speaker 2: spend a weekend in wherever, Vegas or something.
Speaker 5: Then we're going to have a Thursday game. We're going
Speaker 5: to have a Thursday game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's gonna be a Thursday game. It's a question.
Speaker 5: It may not be the matchup there, that's right.
Speaker 2: So right now, the week fourteen game is New England
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh. The Week fifteen game is the Chargers at Vegas,
Speaker 2: and Week sixteen is New Orleans at the Rams. In
Speaker 2: Week seventeen is Jets at Cleveland.
Speaker 3: So those so and think about this. And I'm going
Speaker 3: to use the Cowboys as an example, although it'll never
Speaker 3: happen to them if they've got it Thursday night game, right, say?
Speaker 3: Other teams have travel packages like Star Sports, yes, right, yes,
Speaker 3: and people before the season starts, they put their package
Speaker 3: together and it's a Thursday night game.
Speaker 5: Got the off days they got off from work?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, show up Wednesday. They knew they were gonna
Speaker 3: come on Wednesday, listen to me, and you of course
Speaker 3: get them ready for the game.
Speaker 5: They got a whole whole two three days playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeahah, and then all of a sudden, now we're
Speaker 3: gonna do it on Sunday and they've already sold those packages.
Speaker 5: I've always wondered about that.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's always been an issue for me, just
Speaker 4: as Joe Public. You know, Yeah, I'm worried about I
Speaker 4: know they're going to make it up in regards to viewing,
Speaker 4: but in regards to that person, I never thought. And
Speaker 4: I must come in the NFL owners for some of
Speaker 4: them speaking out against that, because that's tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's really And even twenty eight days,
Speaker 3: if you buy a package before the season starts, you
Speaker 3: got to put.
Speaker 2: An asterisk by and yeah, and then you're going to change, yeah,
Speaker 2: try to change your travel plans.
Speaker 4: So why would they to pick twenty eight days to
Speaker 4: even consider twenty eight days? That's a little ridiculous because
Speaker 4: you don't know what kind of matchup is going to
Speaker 4: be intriguing at that point twenty eight days before can
Speaker 4: we No, why would they why would they even consider that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, So we'll see what there was another deal about
Speaker 3: messing with the kickoff.
Speaker 2: Rule.
Speaker 3: I don't know that they got usf or maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a fair catch on it.
Speaker 3: Was it a fair catch?
Speaker 5: Okay? And what were they saying?
Speaker 2: I got to look it up.
Speaker 3: If you can maybe call a fair catch the way
Speaker 3: you do in college, if it's not in the yen zone?
Speaker 2: Okay, and you get the ball the twenty five yard
Speaker 2: twenty five?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is that? Do you think that will be significant at all?
Speaker 5: I think it happens, That's what I'm saying. It's a kickoff.
Speaker 5: Most kickoffs go out to the en zone.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like, don't worry about stuff that you don't
Speaker 3: need to worry, right fixed.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: It's sort of like our government. They try to fix
Speaker 3: the stuff that don't need fixing.
Speaker 5: But the herd at it, the hard stuff.
Speaker 3: We'll just put that off, right, We don't need to
Speaker 3: deal with that.
Speaker 5: And Bill is very slow today.
Speaker 3: Well, and while he's looking, I found another neat note
Speaker 3: last night. Let's keep the show after after our show
Speaker 3: that former Cowboys assistant coach Todd.
Speaker 5: Bowles, who for mc grammling coach as well.
Speaker 3: Right, he finished up college in nineteen eighty six and
Speaker 3: went to Washington, didn't finish college, and last week he
Speaker 3: graduated from Mount Saint Mary with a degree in community relations.
Speaker 3: Promised his mother when he left, I'll return to college,
Speaker 3: you know, So how many years is that? Thirty some
Speaker 3: years later he was taking classes well in the I
Speaker 3: guess in the off season in here the Tampa area,
Speaker 3: and graduated. Yeah that's good stuff, walked the stage and
Speaker 3: gave a speech.
Speaker 5: Oh he gave a speech.
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically told the class that he was more nervous
Speaker 3: given this speech than any halftime at a supercow.
Speaker 4: Well, you know you don't hear him talk much, yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: so to hear him give a speech, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: He's in his element when he's in the locker room, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: talking to a team. Someone else graduated, I'm Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: got his master's degree at Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Really, if he went back and he walked, he did.
Speaker 4: He yet, I thought that's where you were going next,
Speaker 4: because yeah, they were mentioned together, and God, you think
Speaker 4: about how he's doing things is really changing the way
Speaker 4: people look at the athlete, not just the African American athlete,
Speaker 4: but any athlete you've got Jalen Hurts has.
Speaker 5: An all female.
Speaker 4: Representation and that is something that it's extremely special and
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 5: That forward thinking, that's pretty cool on his part.
Speaker 3: Did you find what you were looking for?
Speaker 2: I did, and you basically had it right. It is
Speaker 2: the college rule that they had proposed, which was you
Speaker 2: can fair catch the ball inside the twenty five yard
Speaker 2: line and be and it would be ruled a touch back.
Speaker 2: And the idea is to cut down on kicks.
Speaker 5: And no kickoffs go inside the twenty five yard line.
Speaker 3: Well unless from the street.
Speaker 2: From a strategic extent, and you and the college rule,
Speaker 2: I believe you don't need you do have to make
Speaker 2: the catch.
Speaker 3: Yes, you can catch.
Speaker 2: So you could hit.
Speaker 5: A pop up.
Speaker 2: It might be in high school. I think you can
Speaker 2: just you can just call a fair catch whatever. But uh,
Speaker 2: from a strategic standpoint, you may want to hit one
Speaker 2: of those high pop up and make sure that if
Speaker 2: they drop it, then you have an opportunity to recover
Speaker 2: a muffed kickoff.
Speaker 3: Or if they have a very good directional kickoff guy
Speaker 3: and they tried to pin you, like in the corner
Speaker 3: at the five yard line, well.
Speaker 4: You're putting pressure on that enough to where it's become
Speaker 4: a danger to our play, right has that happened so
Speaker 4: many times to where okay, we need to pay attention
Speaker 4: to this, because I don't recall that strategy being used
Speaker 4: too often last.
Speaker 2: Year and the According to Albert Breer, how players and
Speaker 2: coaches have argued that the rule, the fair catch rule,
Speaker 2: could actually end up leading to more concussions. One of
Speaker 2: the arguments players in coaches are making is that if
Speaker 2: teams fair catch every kickoff inside the twenty five, the
Speaker 2: opponents could send squib kicks or low line drive kicks,
Speaker 2: which would lead to potentially dangerous situation.
Speaker 4: You want, if you're worried about all of that, let's
Speaker 4: just stop kicking off, right, I mean, if that's what
Speaker 4: you're worried about, let's just stop. Put the picking up,
Speaker 4: just start at twenty five and let's go with it.
Speaker 4: All of these rules.
Speaker 2: You got, but this is going to get voted down.
Speaker 5: Well, you got guys running down there for nothing.
Speaker 2: So apparently they don't have the vote sport. It's going
Speaker 2: to get voted down, which leads us to the Cowboys
Speaker 2: issue at kicker right now?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, and that's not just field goals. It's kickoffs
Speaker 3: kickoffs too, because some of these older veteran kickers aren't
Speaker 3: so good at kickoffs.
Speaker 2: Robbie gold is not kicking off, yes, at age forty.
Speaker 3: That's kind of why San Francisco.
Speaker 2: And how is Brett Marr and his kickoffs?
Speaker 3: He was awfully darn good.
Speaker 2: You know, if you look at Brett Marr compared to
Speaker 2: some of these other free agent kickers that are out there,
Speaker 2: and in the regular season, his stats stack up pretty
Speaker 2: well against all of the free agent guys out there.
Speaker 3: We talked about all that.
Speaker 2: Mason Crosby and Randy Bullock in Tennessee the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Didn't make the playoffs, he'd be making three million dollars
Speaker 3: today somewhere.
Speaker 2: And it was seventy eight percent of his kickoffs seventy
Speaker 2: He had at one hundred kickoffs and seventy eight of
Speaker 2: them were touchbacks.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 3: He's the best.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 3: I'm the last kicker out there.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I like the guy.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the heck happened, if how the
Speaker 4: wheels fell off, but I like the guy.
Speaker 3: He could just get passed that one, so.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to hold that over his head forever.
Speaker 2: Test to review. In the regular season, his field goal
Speaker 2: percentage was ninety one percent. He was twenty nine out
Speaker 2: of thirty two was a number beyond fifty yards.
Speaker 3: And two of them were fifty nine yarders and they
Speaker 3: were clutch, Yeah, they were club. He missed two from fifty.
Speaker 2: Missed two from fifty, So inside fifty nine he was
Speaker 2: twenty nine out.
Speaker 3: Of thirty missed a forty six yarder.
Speaker 2: Okay, extra points fifty out of fifty three ninety four percent.
Speaker 3: And don't forget the lumpy field in Tampa.
Speaker 2: Robbie Gold. Robbie Gold was twenty seven of thirty two
Speaker 2: eighty four percent on his field goals, and he was
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty one on extra points. And let's see
Speaker 2: Mason Crosby was, and he's thirty nine years old. On
Speaker 2: September third, he was twenty five of twenty nine on
Speaker 2: field goals and thirty seven of thirty nine on extra points.
Speaker 2: What about suck Up and Ryan suck Up and he's
Speaker 2: the one that did not kick off Gold actually was.
Speaker 2: Gold's touchback ratio was forty nine point five percent on
Speaker 2: his touch backs compared to seventy eight percent for Maher.
Speaker 2: Suck Up did not kick off. He turns thirty seven
Speaker 2: in September thirty one for thirty eight on field goals
Speaker 2: because that quarterback couldn't get them in the end zone.
Speaker 2: He kicked a lot of field goals Tom Brady on
Speaker 2: that lumpy field, so it's eighty one point six percent
Speaker 2: extra points. He was twenty four out of twenty five.
Speaker 4: You know, it would be so nice if Brett just
Speaker 4: came out and just start talking trash, like, hey.
Speaker 2: Man, he'd like a job.
Speaker 5: Bring these punks on. Man, who is this guy?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, man, you can't.
Speaker 2: I would be so maybe that's what he needs to
Speaker 2: do to show that he's a confident kicker, because.
Speaker 4: Right now he's letting everyone eat him alive. I have
Speaker 4: not heard of a response, you know, a comeback or anything.
Speaker 2: He needs a personality to transplant, and having Everson Wall's personality,
Speaker 2: well I don't.
Speaker 4: Know about that. I don't know about that, but he
Speaker 4: need to have to talk some trash. He needs to
Speaker 4: talk trash from.
Speaker 3: Somewhere, and I'm told he hasn't even been called in
Speaker 3: for a visit or a workout.
Speaker 2: Okay, On that note, yes are the Cowboys or how
Speaker 2: much better I think it's I think we'll will agree
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are better than why they were a year ago. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: how much better? When we come back on mix shots, I'm.

Speaker 3: Call now two one four two two five four eight
Speaker 3: six to so Kpostcompany dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, we continue here with a mixed shots and
Speaker 2: uh one other note on Brett Maher. You recall when
Speaker 2: the Cowboys signed him last year, it was during training
Speaker 2: during training camp, and so it's not like they are
Speaker 2: panicked right now about finding a player.
Speaker 3: We will go to training camp and they will have
Speaker 3: a couple kickers there for sure and see how things
Speaker 3: are working out, and then they'll have a tryout. And
Speaker 3: as I told John Fossil when we talked to him
Speaker 3: the other day, I said, so kind of what you're
Speaker 3: telling me is is we're going to training camp once
Speaker 3: again to chart every field goal attempt by whoever's kicking
Speaker 3: from how far make or missy. And he goes it's
Speaker 3: about right. So we're back to those days.
Speaker 2: And the other thing to factor in on this is
Speaker 2: after June first, the Cowboys will have more money to
Speaker 2: play with, right.
Speaker 5: And why is that, William?
Speaker 3: They get Elliott's base salary back.
Speaker 2: Ten point ten point nine million is dead money is
Speaker 2: five point eight million for this year, which is already
Speaker 2: post June first cut, and right now he counts sixteen
Speaker 2: point seven million against the cap, but ten point nine
Speaker 2: million are coming off of that after June first, since
Speaker 2: he has designated a post June first cut, so that
Speaker 2: not only gives you more money maybe if you if
Speaker 2: there's a veteran kicker that you want to sign, there's
Speaker 2: also more money if there's a veteran running back that
Speaker 2: you want to sign.
Speaker 5: Like.
Speaker 3: And basically they looked at that ten point nine as
Speaker 3: it was almost like, but they've already done it, right,
Speaker 3: they've signed all their draft choices, but that was like
Speaker 3: a savings that that would count that would take care
Speaker 3: of the draft choice signings.
Speaker 2: According to over thecap dot com. Right now, according to
Speaker 2: overthecap dot com, right now, the team cap space is
Speaker 2: ten point five million dollars.
Speaker 3: Right now, which is about what you want to enter
Speaker 3: the season with, and so it's about to go up
Speaker 3: to twenty million right next week. So that means when
Speaker 3: everybody keeps asking, well, when are they going to sign
Speaker 3: these guys to an extension like Trayvon Diggs right well
Speaker 3: after June one and once we get the training camp,
Speaker 3: they'll have more money, and you can do that because
Speaker 3: they're his his base salary and cap hit and you
Speaker 3: know CD lambs, they're all very low. You can handle
Speaker 3: that this year.
Speaker 2: Here's the other part of it now with OTA starting
Speaker 2: this week and continuing next week and then mini camp,
Speaker 2: which is what are the dates of many camp June sixth, seventh, eighth,
Speaker 2: something in that range. It's a little earlier than what
Speaker 2: it has been in years past. Yeah, first week of June,
Speaker 2: so it's about a week after that money becomes available.
Speaker 2: You now have had your players in here. The coaches
Speaker 2: have had their players in here, new players that they're
Speaker 2: working with, and they can figure out what exactly they
Speaker 2: have after they conclude the end of this portion of
Speaker 2: the off season, and then they they'll huddle together and say, okay,
Speaker 2: we could use help at this position or that position,
Speaker 2: and yeah at a veteran player.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, if you're a veteran player still out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's what I remember leaving here, and that's
Speaker 4: what that's what I was trying to avoid.
Speaker 5: I did not.
Speaker 4: Want to get into another training camp, and that's my
Speaker 4: first day in training camp, right. So when I went
Speaker 4: to the Giants, when I talked to them. When I
Speaker 4: talked to Plus Sales and Belichick, I made sure and
Speaker 4: got there before they started doing all of their off
Speaker 4: season acquisitions, even before they drafted.
Speaker 5: I was able to get in there.
Speaker 3: And or for some guys, some guys don't want to
Speaker 3: go to training Did I just see a story somebody
Speaker 3: said that he wouldn't sign until after training camp? Was
Speaker 3: it sue?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 3: I think he was still there, And I thought, I
Speaker 3: there's a number of veteran players at every position out
Speaker 3: there right now.
Speaker 2: There's more this year.
Speaker 5: They did not be starters.
Speaker 2: There are there are better players out there in free
Speaker 2: agency than a lot of the draft picks.
Speaker 4: And my point when I was trying to get it,
Speaker 4: I was trying to get in as a starter. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I was not trying to come into training camp behind
Speaker 4: the ball.
Speaker 2: I think some of these would be could be.
Speaker 5: Starters out there.
Speaker 2: It's different this year. The reason it's different this year
Speaker 2: is because of the way the market played out and
Speaker 2: everybody had to settle for these veteran minimum deals. There's
Speaker 2: the market was so flooded with veteran players across the board.
Speaker 2: Didn't matter whether you're a running back, wide receiver, offensive lineman,
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, whatever. There's so many veteran
Speaker 2: guys out there, and this is what the players wanted.
Speaker 2: They wanted free agency. Well, now you got free agency
Speaker 2: and there's so many players out there that that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you had the first wave where you got really good money.
Speaker 2: And then after that, basically starting about March twentieth March
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, guys were signing. They just wanted jobs, and
Speaker 2: they were signing for one year, one point two million
Speaker 2: dollars across the board.
Speaker 3: Having said that, I saw her last week, James Washington
Speaker 3: signed with the Texans. So he's getting another another shot somewhere.
Speaker 4: Well he's getting it as a healthy hopefully as a
Speaker 4: healthy person, right exactly. I just know that that was
Speaker 4: my entire goal was to get in and I was
Speaker 4: going to take someone's job, and I knew I could
Speaker 4: do it with that those cornerbacks that they had, So
Speaker 4: that was my reason.
Speaker 5: For going in. I didn't just want a job. I
Speaker 5: wanted the job.
Speaker 2: And so I think for a lot of them right now,
Speaker 2: a lot of teams are looking at what they have
Speaker 2: with their rookies and okay, and they're determining right now
Speaker 2: from a learning standpoint the transition to the NFL. Can
Speaker 2: this guy come in and play immediately for me or not?
Speaker 2: Or do I need to go get a veteran guy
Speaker 2: to go? You know, the Cowboys are sitting there at
Speaker 2: their left guard position. They got to figure out where
Speaker 2: they are from an injury standpoint, how they're coming along
Speaker 2: with the Terrence Steele recovery and tying where he is
Speaker 2: and okay, what do you have with you Madie Doga
Speaker 2: who actually is coming off an injury from last year
Speaker 2: as well. And are they set at the to fill
Speaker 2: in and the at the starting left guard position.
Speaker 3: So one thing I noticed that I can't remember if
Speaker 3: I mentioned it last week or not. The fifth round
Speaker 3: pick seemed awesome. Richardson ye had to make guard. He's
Speaker 3: a tackle to make guard. Let's not forget Farniac. He
Speaker 3: actually had to play a couple of games and did
Speaker 3: okay at guard, So there's going to be some competition.
Speaker 5: He seems so big for guardac.
Speaker 3: He's not thinking ball, probably ball. You're probably thinking he's
Speaker 3: moved there also, but he's six eight. That's a little big.
Speaker 3: Farniac looks like could be a guard. So they're going
Speaker 3: to have some competition there and they'll have a chance
Speaker 3: to see, especially in training camp. Get these guys reps.
Speaker 3: You know, you can't put a ribi on every plate
Speaker 3: every day of the week, right, You can't have a
Speaker 3: star first second round player on every spot on the
Speaker 3: offensive line. At some point you got to develop some guy, right,
Speaker 3: got to develop Nate Newton And at some point.
Speaker 5: You had me thinking that got at home.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to just develop a Mark two.
Speaker 5: And a very good you know that stuff's got to happen.
Speaker 3: I think about the guards that were playing with you
Speaker 3: when you got here. You know, they certainly weren't first
Speaker 3: round picks or you know, Pro Bowl players.
Speaker 5: They were veterans, but they were good, and they were veterans.
Speaker 2: By the way, James Washingtons sionn with a Saints, Saints, Saints,
Speaker 2: I know it was all right? So all right, how
Speaker 2: much better are the Cowboys now than they were a
Speaker 2: year ago at this time?
Speaker 3: Well, they're not better at kicker, But here's my.
Speaker 2: Deal, are they?
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, right, yeah, I don't want to sell Tristan.
Speaker 3: This guy ain't no short. Right, here's where they improved.
Speaker 3: They are better off where they're at right now, at
Speaker 3: wide receiver, and I thought when they got towards the
Speaker 3: end of the season and in the playoffs, they were
Speaker 3: because Michael Gallup had still not fully recovered from his ACL,
Speaker 3: they were one receiver short and the quarterback will never
Speaker 3: tell you that, but it was basically seedy lamb and
Speaker 3: what and you were relying on thirty three year old
Speaker 3: He'll to come in after not doing any football for
Speaker 3: what four months of the season to be that guy
Speaker 3: that was going to save you. He helped, but he
Speaker 3: wasn't great, right. I know he made a couple of
Speaker 3: nice catches. So with the addition of Cooks and Gallop,
Speaker 3: I'm figuring a year further remove from that ACL surgery,
Speaker 3: that they're better at wide receiver.
Speaker 5: I have a stupid question, is t Y coming back?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him sign anywhere, and you know his
Speaker 3: reason for not playing last year. He wanted to watch
Speaker 3: his kids play football. Did he get his fill in
Speaker 3: one year and doesn't care about that or do they
Speaker 3: still want to do that and say I can be
Speaker 3: a hired hand in December. Yeah, so we'll see where
Speaker 3: that one's going. So to answer your question, I don't
Speaker 3: think they regressed whatsoever defensively, with the signing of Gilmour
Speaker 3: at least at one of the inner spots. We'll see
Speaker 3: what happens with Anthony Brown, who.
Speaker 2: There's another one that's out there in free agency.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he will be because he's probably not ready
Speaker 3: to play any football and maybe not in training camp either,
Speaker 3: Anthony Brown. But you know he can you know, if
Speaker 3: it gets to August and he's he's good with the Achilles,
Speaker 3: you know, you can sign him to a one year
Speaker 3: kind of prove it deal.
Speaker 2: Or if it gets to November all a long season, yes, exactly,
Speaker 2: and they know him.
Speaker 3: Uh, and I'm sure he doesn't want to have to
Speaker 3: leave here after all these years. But he's got a
Speaker 3: rehab in my understanding, he's got to at this point
Speaker 3: when his contract expires, got a rehab on his own
Speaker 3: mm interest.
Speaker 2: Well, with all due respect to Anthony Brown. Yes, Stefan Gilmour,
Speaker 2: assuming he's healthy and he and what we've seen on
Speaker 2: tape the last couple of years at Indianapolis, and he's
Speaker 2: still got it. They are upgraded at that position.
Speaker 5: The talent level has upgraded and their depth.
Speaker 3: And darn Bland, he's got the experience now he's rookie
Speaker 3: and he got Jordan Lewis coming back, and you're hoping
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis comes back healthy. Uh so, yeah, you're better
Speaker 3: off there. You know, you re signed your safeties, You're
Speaker 3: good at linebacker, should be good on the defensive line.
Speaker 2: And the addition of Mazzi Smith is in the eyes
Speaker 2: of the scouts and the coaches are thinking this way too.
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn is that was a missing piece on their
Speaker 2: defensive line.
Speaker 5: They said what they call them the physical freak.
Speaker 3: So so yeah, I think they you know, they should
Speaker 3: be improved. I mean they were. You know, the darn
Speaker 3: thing about the whole deal is they were darn good
Speaker 3: last year until that San Francisco game. Okay, it it
Speaker 3: clouded everything they accomplished last year, despite Dak's interceptions or
Speaker 3: drop passes and bad routes that led to interceptions. Right
Speaker 3: because most of those games they were able to win.
Speaker 3: They didn't overcome it. In the playoff game, this team
Speaker 3: was scoring points. We forget that right now, you changed
Speaker 3: what's sort of going on on offense? Okay, now, can
Speaker 3: you go nine straight games like averaging thirty some points
Speaker 3: a game again? Because that was pretty good.
Speaker 4: One thing that we just have to realize is last
Speaker 4: year's interception numbers was an aberration for.
Speaker 5: This entire team. That's one thing you can say he did.
Speaker 4: That's just this has never been a serious problem from
Speaker 4: this offense. Is turnovers. We have never had that be
Speaker 4: an issue throughout an entire season the way it was
Speaker 4: last season. To me, it's just a different season compared
Speaker 4: to all the other seasons we've had since this coaching
Speaker 4: staff was here. So I'm not worried about them repeating
Speaker 4: those mistakes. Of course, they're going to change the philosophy now.
Speaker 4: We'll probably run the ball a little bit more. It
Speaker 4: seems like we've got a lot of bodies up there
Speaker 4: so we can move the chains without necessarily putting it
Speaker 4: in the air. That's fine with me. I could go
Speaker 4: either way. I trust that, I trust our wide receivers.
Speaker 4: I trusted I trust Brandon Cook coming in. You get
Speaker 4: a thousand yards with every team that you're on, then
Speaker 4: I'm going to depend on you to do the same
Speaker 4: thing here because you probably have a better quarterback here
Speaker 4: than you've ever had in your entire career.
Speaker 3: And especially last season.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm looking at it as Yeah, I think
Speaker 4: we definitely did not regret.
Speaker 5: I think we improved.
Speaker 2: You know, you look back at that San Francisco game though,
Speaker 2: and where San Francisco took control of the game in
Speaker 2: the second half. They had the pass to Kittle and
Speaker 2: then they had the PI down in the red zone.
Speaker 2: But they were also able to run the football and
Speaker 2: convert on third down. They were seven to fourteen on
Speaker 2: third down in that game. They ran for one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirteen yards on thirty two carries, which isn't a
Speaker 2: great average, but they had thirty two carries and they
Speaker 2: were able to control the foot in a close, tight
Speaker 2: game like that, they were able to make that drive
Speaker 2: to get them the touchdown that got them the victory.
Speaker 5: And we could we couldn't move the change, remember moved
Speaker 5: the change.
Speaker 2: Pollard getting getting hurt.
Speaker 5: Injuries on the line, too, didn't we How are we
Speaker 5: doing now?
Speaker 3: They had gotten back to normal?
Speaker 5: Peters, well, they they got back to normal.
Speaker 3: But did they They had to put parent Steel wasn't
Speaker 3: playing right. He was out right.
Speaker 2: It was out the last five games of the year,
Speaker 2: so they were hurt.
Speaker 3: They have to move, you know, replace they were playing
Speaker 3: iron at right tackle maybe on.
Speaker 2: College line on Colline was your Connor McGovern fullback. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the third tight end guy.
Speaker 3: We were doing all we could so they to answer
Speaker 3: your question, they've I think what they've got to prove
Speaker 3: is they can. Can they still run the ball effectively
Speaker 3: without ze? And everybody's assuming that Tony Pollard's gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: rush for you know, fifteen hundred yards. Well, I want
Speaker 3: to see it.
Speaker 5: I'd love to see it, but I don't think that's
Speaker 5: the way it's going to be.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm gonna need it.
Speaker 5: I still think we need to be running back by committee.
Speaker 3: You're going to have another guy there and it's got
Speaker 3: to help out. Is it Ronald Jones? Is it Deuce?
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see got to replace his twelve rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 3: And I'll continue to say.
Speaker 5: That I'm right there with this bags.
Speaker 2: Ronald Jones, who had seventeen carries for seventy yards in
Speaker 2: one touchdown in six games with Kansas City, makes it
Speaker 2: feel good.
Speaker 5: Doesn't Why would you bring that up trying to be
Speaker 5: positive because.
Speaker 2: There's money available. There's money available. It comes June.
Speaker 3: First, probably going to be running backs available.
Speaker 2: There are definitely running backs available. All right, we wrap

Speaker 2: You're on a flight by nine o'clock, and you're back
Speaker 2: to California by ten o'clock California time.
Speaker 3: I thought maybe eleven eleven had something bigger going on
Speaker 3: and they had to play.
Speaker 2: Well, there is.
Speaker 5: Not that weekend, not that weekend.
Speaker 3: Okay, good right, all right? Then they go back to
Speaker 3: California and August nineteenth. The one away preseason game will
Speaker 3: be August nineteenth, Saturday, nine pm Central start.
Speaker 2: More traditional traditional time on the West Coast.
Speaker 3: And then the final preseason game is August twenty sixth,
Speaker 3: the Saturday, seven pm eight T and T Stadium, and
Speaker 3: it's against Vegas. We were all set for Vegas to
Speaker 3: be the away game, so you'll be on the coast hopeful. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: didn't work out. I'm not sure I want to go
Speaker 3: to Vegas after these last couple of hockey games.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of other sports, can we give the Rangers
Speaker 4: some love. They're really kicking some ass man. I'm enjoying this.
Speaker 4: The family even wants to go to a game. Hitting
Speaker 4: machine out there right, not bad at all.
Speaker 5: I'm really impressed with him.
Speaker 4: They got numbers out there, the stats are doing well
Speaker 4: and everyone's talking.
Speaker 2: I did a lot of it without their how three
Speaker 2: and twenty five million dollars. I'm sure he's back, Corey
Speaker 2: Seeger and he came back this weekend and it was
Speaker 2: lights out when he started the season, and they've been
Speaker 2: without He's.
Speaker 3: Here already hit two home runs in whatever three or
Speaker 3: four games he's played. Uh, I thought we should do
Speaker 3: this mention the passing of Jim Brownes eighty seven years old.
Speaker 3: You guys probably weren't old enough to watch him play,
Speaker 3: at least I was not. I did as a young
Speaker 3: almost teenager.
Speaker 5: I saw I'm in dirty.
Speaker 3: That was gonna be my next boy.
Speaker 2: I saw him in the locker room in San Francisco
Speaker 2: after the Cowboys beat the forty nine Ers in the
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game January nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 5: He was a Cowboy fan.
Speaker 2: What was he doing? He was just there.
Speaker 3: He was there. You know, probably I just I just
Speaker 3: I just remember, you know, how tough a runner he was,
Speaker 3: how guys did not want to tackle him by the way,
Speaker 3: and my last I think the last time I saw him,
Speaker 3: it was on TV for something. Yeah he looked, yeah,
Speaker 3: it didn't look really good. But one of my great
Speaker 3: memories was back in two thousand and seven when Michael
Speaker 3: Irvin was getting inducted Pro Football Hall of Fame. So
Speaker 3: was his starting right guard, Gene Hickerson, And unfortunately for Jean,
Speaker 3: he was kind of in the same physical shape as
Speaker 3: Chuck Hayley. And I remember the yellow jacket ceremony on
Speaker 3: Friday night before the inductions on Saturday, when they give
Speaker 3: the guys their Hall of Fame jacket, and Hickerson was there,
Speaker 3: and jim Brown was there and he wheeled him in
Speaker 3: on his wheelchair.
Speaker 5: It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: It was almost like, here's the guy that paved the
Speaker 3: way for me, Now I'm pushing him into the Pro
Speaker 3: Football Hall of Fame. It was a pretty emotional thing
Speaker 3: because I think Jimmy Brown's first.
Speaker 2: Year was fifty fifty seven and.
Speaker 3: Hickerson came from Ole Miss in fifty eight.
Speaker 5: The guy that mentioned John Wooden.
Speaker 3: And I was going to say and then John Luton
Speaker 3: was the left guard and he had two I think
Speaker 3: maybe Pro Bowl or least maybe Hall of Fame tackles
Speaker 3: playing at that time for Cleveland when they were pretty good.
Speaker 3: By the way, they won the NFL title in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 5: Four before Super Bowls.
Speaker 3: Maybe Frank Ryan was the quarterback.
Speaker 2: Doctor Frank Ryan, of course, doctor we talked about all right.
Speaker 2: Just to put in perspective. And it was a nine
Speaker 2: year career for Jim Brown in the National Football League.
Speaker 2: Just to put in perspective, he was the most He
Speaker 2: was the Rookie of the Year his first year in
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty seven. He was the Most Valuable Player in
Speaker 2: the league. In nineteen fifty eight, he finished third in
Speaker 2: the MVP voting. In fifty nine, he finished third. In
Speaker 2: sixty He finished fourth in the MVP voting in sixty one,
Speaker 2: had a down year in sixty two, only made the
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl that year. In sixty three, he was second
Speaker 2: in the MVP voting. In sixty four, he was second
Speaker 2: in the MVP voting, and he won the MVP in
Speaker 2: sixty five. I'd take that back. He also he won
Speaker 2: the UPI There was AP and UPI MP. He won
Speaker 2: the UPI MVP in sixty three Memories and in fifty eight,
Speaker 2: so it wasn't consensus, but he was when he was
Speaker 2: the MVP is Rookie of the Year league also, so one, two, three,
Speaker 2: four years he was MVP either AP or UPI and
Speaker 2: he finished second in the voting three of those years too.
Speaker 3: And guess what I didn't know this the nineteen fifty
Speaker 3: seven Cotton Bowl he was the MVP rest for one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty two yards in a loss to TCU twenty.
Speaker 5: Eight to twenty seven at Syracuse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was at Syracuse.
Speaker 2: Oh how great would that have been? It would have
Speaker 2: Bob Lily against Jim Brown and Syracuse at the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 4: So you talk about pushing into the Hall of fame,
Speaker 4: he tried to push me into the Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: as well. My first year I was up for modern Day,
Speaker 4: it happened to be my last year of eligibility for
Speaker 4: modern Day.
Speaker 5: He Rother let him endorsement for me. Really, they sure
Speaker 5: did I still have it?
Speaker 3: We like, John Wooten told me some great stories about
Speaker 3: blocking for him and how he would run people over
Speaker 3: at the goal line. And that was it that no
Speaker 3: one wanted to touch him again. It's like, okay, just
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You wonder if he made this lineman all pros. Yeah right,
Speaker 4: I'm sure that had something to do with it. They
Speaker 4: didn't even see the film, like, hey, he ran for
Speaker 4: almost two hundred yards, then the line must be good.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm thinking back then, he was probably considered
Speaker 3: a fullback, right they did.
Speaker 2: He was his position and the fullback was the running position.
Speaker 2: Back then, he was listed on Pro Football Reference listed
Speaker 2: as six to two hundred and thirty two pounds. I
Speaker 2: guarantee you there were a number of offensive linemen who
Speaker 2: are two hundred and thirty two pounds and back then.
Speaker 5: As facts, you should know this man, You're the only
Speaker 5: one that was alive.
Speaker 3: Back then on this table. Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: John Wooton, by the way, was two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: five pounds.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: So Jim Brown was two thirty six two two thirty
Speaker 2: two and John Wooten six two two thirty.
Speaker 3: Five, and both of them, along with Bill Russell Kareem
Speaker 3: Uh were a part of that nineteen sixty seven Cleveland
Speaker 3: summit when they got all those players together to support
Speaker 3: Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 5: I think that was at Jim's house, wasn't It.
Speaker 3: Was somewhere in in Cleveland, obviously, and there was a
Speaker 3: bunch of people there that you know, you would if
Speaker 3: you saw the picture, you'd recognize who all those.
Speaker 4: All those people wasn't there that was invited A Simpson.
Speaker 4: Well really he decided not to show up.
Speaker 3: According to nineteen sixty seven, Yeah, it's a it's a.
Speaker 3: It was an iconic picture. It was one of the
Speaker 3: guys from the Green Bay Packers was there, the defensive
Speaker 3: Heinebacker defense and Willie Davis Grambling staff. And by the way,
Speaker 3: John Wooten was in.
Speaker 5: That Grambling State University.
Speaker 3: Grambling State University. So yeah, and then he made all
Speaker 3: those movies there a dirty dozen. I can still see that.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys saw the movie, but
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 5: It was one of the all time I'm going to
Speaker 5: get you sucker. You've got to see that movie, guys,
Speaker 5: if you haven't.
Speaker 3: Hilarious, I'm sure it's somewhere.
Speaker 5: It's gotta be here, definitely. But all of all of
Speaker 5: his stuff is coming out of the woodwords.
Speaker 3: But he reach he hired at thirty and.
Speaker 4: That was the most unique thing about the story. When
Speaker 4: you talk about putting things into perspectives. Yeah, everyone else.
Speaker 4: They're trying to play it out right. You know, as
Speaker 4: long as you can go, he.
Speaker 2: Can make more money away from football, and.
Speaker 5: He knew that.
Speaker 4: He knew that because they talked about how I believe
Speaker 4: the story was that they never saw him go into
Speaker 4: the training room.
Speaker 5: They said they didn't see him because he came so early.
Speaker 4: So he wanted to keep that persona of, you know,
Speaker 4: being that invincible guy. But he was coming in, they said,
Speaker 4: real early, to take his treatment so that the players
Speaker 4: themselves wouldn't find.
Speaker 3: Out, which is remarkable that when he finished, he was
Speaker 3: the all time leading rusher. I looked it up twelve
Speaker 3: three hundred and twelve yards, but in nine seasons, nine seasons, as.
Speaker 5: It went out on his own turn.
Speaker 2: And those were twelve and fourteen game seasons.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, absolutely, And because they didn't go to fourteen
Speaker 3: until sixty one, I think it was, Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: twelve game seasons.
Speaker 2: So so I guess back then in the early sixties,
Speaker 2: it was him in football, and it was Wilt Chamberlain
Speaker 2: and basketball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 3: It was Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, Bill Russell and
Speaker 3: now and back then and people probably it was.
