1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: This is the Talking Cowboys break streaming live on Dallas 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the officials Dallas Cowboys app After 3 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: an eight year run, the Dez Bryant Era in Dallas 4 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: is over. Cowboys officially part ways with their veteran wide 5 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: receiver today after a brief visit with Jerry Jones here 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: at the Star in Frisco. We're inside the SWBC mortgage 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: studio for instant reaction breaking it all down. Rob Phillips, 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: joined as always by Nicki. Ben Brian brought us Mickey Spagnola. Guys. 9 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: It's about three four months in the making, and it 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: looked like the meeting between Jerry and Dez that was 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: long awaited lasted. I don't know, maybe a half hour 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: or something like that. Left the building, Mick, you saw him, Yes, 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: that is goodbyes, got in his car, said, didn't sight 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: too much to too many people. I think he went 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: in the weight room, greeted a couple of guys who 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: greeted him when he first showed up. Had two I'm 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: guessing buddies, a driver somebody else in the car with him, 18 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: and I'm told he said, I'll see you guys twice 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: this year, so let your imaginations wander with that one. Well, 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone kind of thought that he was if 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: he does, you know, he's gonna sign with another team. 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: When he does, he's gonna be somebody on this schedule. 23 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's already got something in the works there. 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Who knows. Of course, that would be tampering if it was. 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: But I think overall, I mean, we saw this coming 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: for a while. It's still surprising though. It's still there's 27 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: something about it that just when watching him and you know, 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: we actually saw him drive off, it's you know, it 29 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: was kind of a surprising thing. It just too many 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: the timing of everything appeared that this was going to happen, 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: just if you look at with the the OTAs, the 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: workouts all starting on Monday, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Jason Garret, 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: Will McLay. They waited till really the last possible minute 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: to get this too done. You know, they had opportunities 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: if they were going to bring him back, they had 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: opportunities for that. They could have told him the plans, 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: but des went a long time without hearing anything from 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the front office here, and so as you started to 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: see things with the signings of the free agents, that 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: they had with Hearns Thompson. Then you look at what 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: they've done with the thirty visits, how they've worked guys out. 42 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: It just became very clear to me, and I said 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: it on our round table that I just too many 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: things were lining up for this day to happen. I 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: just never felt like that they were going to to 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: bring him back under these circumstances. And you know, it's 47 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: just you know, decisions made by the front office. You know, 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones talked about once again input from a lot 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: of different voices and that's always been his style, and 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: whether that's the coach, of the front office, members, maybe 51 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: even some players there all had a hand in this one. 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Get the idea that there was a consensus on what 53 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: they wanted to do, but the last person that had 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: to sign off on it was Jerry Jones. I don't 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: think Jerry Jones wanted to release Dees Bryant. Yeah, I don't. 56 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: This This goes back to very much the you know, 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, his uh say what you want. I think 58 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: the love he has for his players reminds me so 59 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: much of what Al Davis. The love he has Al 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: Davis would blame the coaches before he blamed the player. 61 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: And I think Jerry Jones really does love does Bryant. 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: And I think that some things just not think they 63 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: lined up. There were people that lined up and said 64 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: we cannot have him here anymore. And Jerry is a 65 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: very good listener. He is a very good listener, and 66 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, when you have a large number of people 67 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: that are lining up against people, or a constant guy 68 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: or whatever, he's going to make that decision, and this 69 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: was one. I think it was very painful for him 70 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: to have to make. Is this a good move? I'm 71 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: still tarned by it because we got I guess we 72 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: should read the release that the Cowboys put out. It 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: was a statement from Jerry, but it doesn't say why. Yeah, 74 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: I think you can go down a lot of avenues 75 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: on why. I think it takes a lot of nerve 76 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: to do what they did. And I'll yeah, yeah, But 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: at the same time, you're right. I mean, at the moment, 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: if he were to have stayed, he would have been 79 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: the best wide receiver on this football team, and certainly 80 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: in the most accomplished receiver. But you know what they 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: did this in two thousand and nine, they got rid 82 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: of an All Pro Pro Bowl wide out who was 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: less than a year into a big time extension Tarall Owens, 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: and I'm not directly comparing the two, but they did it. 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: That was a chemistry move, and this was probably mostly 86 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: a production move, but I bet there might be a 87 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: little bit of locker room involvement here in terms of 88 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: helping the locker room out. Stephen Jones came out earlier 89 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: in the offseason and said, first time I think I've 90 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: heard anybody say this, some of his off sideline stuff 91 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: could be a distraction. He's got to do a better 92 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: job of handling his emotions. I think that probably was 93 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: at least a little bit of a factor here. They 94 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: didn't they didn't let them in, you know. I mean 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: I see that. I mean, I hear what you're saying. 96 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know exactly what side of the fence 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm on here, but I've heard them say that kind 98 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: of stuff, like he needs to do better at this, 99 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: and he needs to be better at that. But he 100 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: didn't get He's not getting a chance here to do that, right. 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: But I'll answer that first. I mean, I threw it 102 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: out there and I wanted Brian stake. I think This 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: won't be a good move unless they do something with 104 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: this money. If they're gonna save money, then they need 105 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: to spend the money. I don't they need to do 106 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: something else. They cut Daz because they are going to 107 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: get this player or trade for this player, that better 108 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: not be done because what are you saving money? I 109 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: will say this, they needed to free up some money 110 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: just to have money under the cap to get your 111 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: draft picks done and all that kind of stuff. But 112 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: I hear you. I mean there was other guys to 113 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: cut for that could have done that you could have done. 114 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: So what you're saying if if are you excluding them 115 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: using that money to extend Zach Martin, Because if you 116 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: extend Zach Martin, it should cost less than his nine 117 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: million dollars, right right, So there's got to be another 118 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: rain pot at the end of the rainbow that you're 119 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: looking for to use the eight million dollars a lot 120 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: in Seattle. Yeah, and the implier is doing his best 121 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: right now to try and conduct I want them to 122 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: go get Earl Thomas, That's what I wanted to do, 123 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: or go get a safety that they can spend this 124 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: money on. Yeah, I think that in in Cowboy Nation, 125 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: eyes if if they sit here and and giving the 126 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: money to Zach Martin is the right thing to do. 127 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that the Cowboys, if they really 128 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: really wanted to to say, Okay, we did this to 129 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: try and as the last line help our football team 130 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: the best interests. We did this because exactly the best 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: interests of our football team. I feel like though, that 132 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: if you know, Seattle is sitting there without a second 133 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: round pick, they don't have a third round pick either. 134 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: But if you're sitting there and you say, Okay, we 135 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: took Dez Bryant's money and we went and got one 136 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: of the best safeties in the National Football League, you know, 137 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: and said Seattle, and I think you I think Seattle 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: is a little bit over a barrel right now, I 139 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: really really do. And I haven't talked to John about 140 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: it at all, but I know that they don't have 141 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: a second round pick. They don't have a third round pick, 142 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: you know. And if you and John Snyder is well 143 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: aware that he's gonna have a difficult time resigning this 144 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: guy after next year, So John might be in the 145 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: motive let's get something now and go. You know, you're right, Nick, 146 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: you go make a move and you go get something 147 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: like that because you release Dad's Bryant. Now you're that's 148 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: considered a good football move. They're gonna pay a safety 149 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars a year. I think that's what he wants. Yeah, 150 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: I think that you have to I think that you 151 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: have to look at everything is negotiable. In my opinion, 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: he wanted Seattle, wanted a one in a three, and 153 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna give him a two. And you're gonna tell 154 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: him that's my best offer. Whether you could take the 155 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: one in the two or you could you could try 156 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: for one in the three. But I'm giving you the 157 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: fiftieth overall pick John Snyder. If you don't want that, 158 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna I'll go I'll go trade that fifty, 159 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: go up and try and draft Irwin James. But I'm 160 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: not taking him on a one year deal. No, you're not. 161 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: But but that's what I'm saying, how bad does or 162 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: if you're gonna make this trade, you want the opportunity 163 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: to sign or to again we're talking about trade when 164 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: it's about Dez Bryant. Well but but but but yeah, 165 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: it's got to be you should take that money and 166 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: try and make your football team better agree and that 167 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: And I hear what you're saying about one year deal 168 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: if if you were to do that, and we're getting 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of ourselves on that particular player. 170 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: But he did chase down Jason Garrett before he went 171 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: to the locker room and said come get me. So 172 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he may not be looking for one 173 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: year's one year deal anyways, he's not. But the thing 174 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: about it is, it's you would not make this trade 175 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: unless you said, I want the opportunity to talk to 176 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: him first, ye give me permission to talk to the 177 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: player and is representative. If they can hammer something out, 178 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: then make the trade. If they can't. You know, like 179 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I said, you got the draft, You've brought in several 180 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: guys to have that optunity. They're not Earl Thomas, but 181 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: there's several guys that can help. We're just speculating now 182 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: on that player. But but but we're just talking about 183 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: I am and I think Brian agrees. I mean, they're 184 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna cut him. It's got to be for for something, 185 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: because he was fitting under the cap. I see what 186 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: you're doing. You're trying to say, why would you let 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant go. We gotta be a reason because he 188 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: was fitting under the cap. It was gonna work. Yeah, 189 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: it was gonna work, but it would have been I 190 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: think thirty million bucks under the cap committed to your 191 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: wide receivers in a run first offense. And we've been 192 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: saying that on our shows. I know Dave was hitting 193 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: this really hard, like something's got to give, right, I mean, 194 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: you can't. You can't allocate that much resource, many resources, 195 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: one of these guys, see, and that's where I was 196 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: going to. Let me read this, this this guise could be there. 197 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Let me read this official statement from Jerry real quick, 198 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: because Mick, he's right about that. To that, he said, 199 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: an organization, we hold Dez Bryan in the highest regard. 200 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: We're grateful for his passion, spirit and contributions to this 201 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: team for the past eight years. He will always be 202 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: a valued member of our family. Does and I share 203 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: a personal and professional relationship that's very strong, and he's 204 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: one of just a handful of players with whom I 205 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: have become close to over the past thirty years. This 206 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: was not an easy decision. It was made based upon 207 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: doing what we believe is in the best interests of 208 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. We arrived at this crossroad collectively with 209 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: input from several voices within the organization. Ultimately we determined 210 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: it was time to go in a new direction, So 211 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: a lot of input. As you said, there's not a 212 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: clear cut reason why. And you guys are talking defensive 213 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: side of the ball, maybe trying to get some help there. Offensively, 214 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: how does this receiver corps look? I mean, does this 215 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: make the draft a huge need now? Or do you 216 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: guys have confidence in Alan Hearns to step into that 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: X spot. I think that there's several there's several options 218 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: they have at nineteen if they want to go again. 219 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: It depends on there's people that might have a Sudden 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: from SMU ahead of more and Ridley. There might be 221 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: people to have more ahead of both those. I mean, 222 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: you're going to have an option at nineteen to draft 223 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: a guy, the guy that makes the most sense that 224 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: what could play the X would be Sudden he would 225 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: be the guy. Now again, with all that being said, uh, 226 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, Hearns could play the X for you if 227 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: they draft Ridly, he could play the Z. And then 228 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: you figure out what you want to do with with 229 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: Terrence Williams, that's that's could be the route you gotta 230 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: get Cole Beasley going back on track two. But they 231 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: will have an option at nineteen now which you have 232 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: to worry about. You have to worry about Baltimore ahead 233 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: of you at seventeen at at sixteen excuse me, and 234 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: you have to worry about Seattle trading out of the pick. No, 235 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: you got to worry about your decision being right. Yeah, 236 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: that these guys can replace his production. They've they've they're made, 237 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: they've made that bet, Mickey, Yeah, that's that's that's not 238 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: a sure bet. Yeah, this is this is one of 239 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: those things where you again, as as an organism, they've 240 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: they've put their head down, they're gonna go forward. You know, 241 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: we can question everything they're gonna do. They honestly believe 242 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: that they can get somebody to help them in this draft, 243 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: whether it's in the nineteen at fifty, they believe that 244 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: they can get somebody with what they currently have on 245 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: the roster, that they could get somebody to replace dead. 246 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: Does Bryant soign No, I'm just I keep look at 247 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: this Star magazine, which everybody in here contributed to and 248 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: has done a lot of good work Brian, I know, 249 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: did a ton of profiles, and I'm looking at the 250 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: cover Sutton Kirk, James Washington, and I'm just thinking one 251 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: of these guys, and it could be more. It could 252 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: be oh yeah literally in DJ Moore, could be more 253 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: guys than that. But between nineteen and fifty, is this 254 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be a situation where they're like, hey, just 255 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: take the best guy available at nineteen. If we don't 256 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: get the receiver there, there's some good ones we like. Yeah, 257 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to turn us into the draft show again, 258 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, you're absolutely right, they're going to have an opportunity. 259 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: The problem is some of those guys like Sutton, if 260 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you want to trade back up in 261 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: the second round, if you want to if you if 262 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: you want to make a pick at nineteen where you 263 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: take a linebacker and then you want to take fifty 264 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: and go up, there's a possibility of ways of doing that. 265 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: But I thought you already spent that. Yeah. Well, I'm 266 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: just I'm just saying. I'm just saying if they didn't 267 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: make that, yeah with you. But okay, that's a good point. 268 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: Let's say that is on the table. Let's say that 269 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: the fifth the second and maybe the third or something 270 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: in that range is going to the Northwest. If that, 271 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: if you knew that, does nineteen have to be a receiver? 272 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: I think you would have to say yes. And they 273 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: hate doing that, they hate going in but yeah, but 274 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: they but they protected themselves in a way where again, 275 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: Hearns can play the X. You know, if you again 276 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: you draft Ridley, he's a Z more could play the 277 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: X or the Z. Sudden I think is going to 278 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: be an X. It's a six three guy. You know. 279 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: That's a big man that you know, and we'll see 280 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: how the development of him is. But I don't think 281 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: they've pinned themselves accord because I feel like though, but again, 282 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: I just want to say this, you have to worry 283 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: about a couple of teams ahead of you, and I 284 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: think you have to worry about the Ravens, and I 285 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: think you have to worry about the Seahawks. Not the 286 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Seahawks will take a guy that somebody knows now that 287 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Dallas is going to take one of these receivers at 288 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: nineteen and all of a sudden, Seattle gets their second 289 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: round pick back. Seattle gets a third round pick back 290 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: because somebody knows Dallas Dallas did it to draft Dez Bryant. 291 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: They did it to the Baltimore Ravens. Jerry Jones moved 292 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: up ahead of Ozzie Newsom to take Dez Bryant. I 293 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: think you have to be concerned, but yeah, they probably 294 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: feel like they protected themselves with the guys they currently 295 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: have on the roster. Is it as good as Dez Bryant, No, 296 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: it's not. Is it similar in some ways? Yes? Okay, 297 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: that's great. That's great information. And all of a sudden, 298 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: now looks like wide receiver, you're throwing line back, you're 299 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: throwing defensive line, I mean safety. There's a several spots 300 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: now where they could go in certain directions, and we'll 301 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: find out in a couple of weeks what they I 302 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: think that all along they've kept this very open. I 303 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: think if you if you think about the thirty visits 304 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: and who they've visited, I think they've kept it open 305 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: with receivers, with offensive linemen, with linebackers. I think they're 306 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: very open to the possibility. Last year we saw them 307 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: visit defensive ends and corners. They really didn't telegraph anything 308 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: what they're doing so far this year with the way 309 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: they've kept their thirty visits really open. Let me let 310 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: me ask you this, and this is hindsight at this point, 311 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: but how would you evaluate where Dez was after the 312 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: season and where you think he could have been in 313 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: this offense going forward if they decided to keep. I mean, 314 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: we've seen them do this before as a franchise. They 315 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: will part ways with a guy maybe a year early 316 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: before it's a year too late, and had two years 317 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: left on his deal. You know, they did it with 318 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: I think Greg Ellis was a guy to Marcus ware. 319 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't always work out that way, right You think 320 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: he could have worked it out with Dak Prescott on 321 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: the field or do you think they the riding was 322 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: on the wall? They were not a match together on 323 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I think that there is something to 324 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: be said for that. And I also want to say 325 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: this about Dak. You know, I think it's high alert 326 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: for him now too, Like, hey, you know you've and 327 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: who's to say that this is exactly just them two 328 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: couldn't get along. But but I think des was a 329 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: great receiver for many years with Tony throwing him the ball, 330 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden he forgot how to play. 331 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. No one believes that. But this 332 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: is Dak friendly. Maybe it isn't considered Dak friendly anymore. 333 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: That's fine, but they better find somebody that can be 334 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: friendly to it. And Dak needs this is a this 335 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: to me, Dak needs to step up and and and 336 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: play better as well. I mean, is this isn't just 337 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: about all of a sudden they don't mesh well, I mean, 338 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: we could be doing an emergency show next year with 339 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: a lot of changes. Well, you know that's that's that's possible. 340 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: Does this move make this team better? I think that's 341 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: a that's a fair question, because still I still need 342 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: They're not better on April thirteenth. I still need a 343 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: lead receiver. I ain't got one. Yeah, all right. I 344 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: still need an insurance policy at linebacker because I ain't 345 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: got one. Right, I still need a backup offensive tackle. 346 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I have one unless they find a 347 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: guard Fleming and Fleming and the Marl stays at right tackle. Right, 348 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: Fleming's my backup. Right, So there's a lot of things 349 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: they've got to figure out here now in July twenty third. 350 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: But you don't go buy a new house typically unless you, 351 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, sell the other one, so that that might 352 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: got you, that might be what they're doing here. And 353 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: but I'm totally with you. Right now they're not better. 354 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: They're not a better team than they were yesterday. But 355 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: if this move, this money makes them better down the road, 356 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: we'll see, but as of right now, they're not. But 357 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: you didn't answer my question. What was it? Do you 358 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: feel like the dak des marriage could have been fixed 359 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: or do you think the organization just felt like, look, 360 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: we're dancing around it. We're dancing around that. Because that 361 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: that's that was the big question at the end of 362 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: the season, Right, these two play together, I say no, 363 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: I'll go no, and there wasn't dislike I'm not saying 364 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: that on that one. I'll since we in the business 365 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: of speculation, and I understand Mickey, I mean one, I'm 366 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: asking on the field chemistry, what happened? Why? Why did it? 367 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: Mickey will argue at the end of the end of 368 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: the playoff run that they were rolling along. What was 369 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: wrong with what he did the year before? Yeah? Right, 370 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: But but I all of a sudden, yeah, I think 371 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I think team said, you know what, 372 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: we're not letting letting you have that that's right. We're 373 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna you're not getting Beasley for seven yards over the middle, 374 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: and you're not getting Witten anymore. You Dak have to 375 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: make that throw to Dez and des has to run 376 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: the right route. I think Blast, I think you're right 377 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: about all that time. And I don't think Dak is 378 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: capable of doing that kind of stuff that Romo did 379 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: at that point. At this point in his career, he's 380 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: two years in. Yeah, but he did think more about 381 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback about the receiver. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. 382 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: But Robert Griffin did it his first year too, and 383 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: they figured him out too. I mean, I'm just like 384 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: they figured him out. It wasn't that it was the 385 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver's fault. No. I think there are certain routes 386 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: that are good for Dak, and I think that some 387 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: of the stuff that does well, the stuff that Dak 388 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: does well. After a couple of years of seeing that 389 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: and the coordinators saying all right, let's let's take this away. 390 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they couldn't do it in year three. Yeah, 391 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean they might have been able to kind of 392 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: mess some stuff. If Scott Lanahan, he's you know, he's 393 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: highly talented around here. He's another man you need to 394 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: put on black. He could have he you know, he 395 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: can work that kind of stuff too. I'm just saying 396 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: they decided after two years. One year was really good. Actually, 397 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, their years were about the same. Des his 398 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: staff were about the same. They just weren't winning as 399 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: many games. See, they're running the ball. Though he threw 400 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: more balls, threw more balls this year than they did last. 401 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: The offense overall was more film okay, And that's why 402 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: when you know the runner, the runner, the runner, and 403 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: yet the runner in the left tackle. If you're a 404 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, what would you worried about those six games? Yeah, 405 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: it certainly wasn't Alfred Morris. It wasn't Easily, It wasn't Witten, 406 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: obviously wasn't Williams. No, they said, I'm taking Dez out 407 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: of this and see if you can beat me. And 408 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: they couldn't. That's why I ask about the offensive coordinator 409 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: as well. But I say no because I feel like, though, again, 410 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: could the offensive quarter could they scheme stuff up for him? 411 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: They tried to, they said, you know, they tried to 412 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: put him in the slot. They tried to move him around, 413 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, So what happened in twenty sixteen he had 414 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, a fourth round pick, and they won 415 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: thirteen games. Yeah, I think they again the running game 416 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: to Mickey, which he talked about you all right, you've 417 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: been you've been harping on that, and it's right, But 418 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: but that was also that was also over a year ago, 419 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: and and he's now approaching thirty years old. I mean, 420 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: I guess the question needs to be asked from their mindset. 421 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: So did you feel like skills? Yeah, it was? Is 422 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: that a factor that I feel like, Okay, he's reaching 423 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: a point in his career where he's not as dynamic 424 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: as he's been and for what he's making and it's 425 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: not a fit. And I think teams played them differently 426 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: last year than they didn't in twenty sixteen. I think 427 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: that they let me ask you, this is this more 428 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: about then the locker room stuff? Not off the field? 429 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: But is it more about the locker room? Is it 430 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: more about what Stephen Jones was talking about? Is it 431 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: more about is this is this more about not the 432 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: ability as it is the personality? You know, if if 433 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: that's the case, they're going to find out here in 434 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: less than a week. Yeah, oh yeah, there's no doubt 435 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: because if some team goes out there and grabs him, 436 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: they don't know about that stuff, right, they just look 437 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: at the talent. Sure, and if somebody swoops him up 438 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: and pays them, yeah, yeah, I think you got your answer. Well. 439 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: But also teams need a splash too. You know, there 440 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: could be a team out there that that maybe needs 441 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: something like that and does Brian certainly would provide that, 442 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, and they have the money for it, and 443 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: let's let's do it. But you know, was it somebody 444 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: was telling me this about Brian? Was it Brian Billick? 445 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: You used to always say that the reason they they 446 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Yeah, the reason they hire you is the 447 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: reason they'll fire you. Yeah, exactly, And if that's kind 448 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: of you know, Dez was a passionate and explosive player. 449 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: It was all great when they're winning, and now it's 450 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. I'll say this about Dez though, 451 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: every single thing that we were told about him when 452 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: he was drafted has been true. And he read my mind. 453 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: I was just gonna go with what's his what's his 454 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: legacy here in Dallas. But by the way, he retires 455 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: with a career five hundred and thirty one catches and retire. Retire? 456 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Did I say retire? His career with the Cowboys has 457 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: ended with five hundred thirty one for now catches, seventy 458 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: five hundred yards, seventy three touchdowns and what were those 459 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: seventy three touchdowns the franchise record. Yeah, it's the best. Sorry, Nick, 460 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: go ahead, No, I was just saying when we when 461 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: he first got drafted, he was a guy that was 462 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: the best player in the draft or the most explosive, athletic, 463 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: dynamic receiver can make all these plays jump out of 464 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: the gym. And then but also you have to deal 465 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: with some some off the field stuff. He's emotional, he's 466 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: got always done. He doesn't he doesn't you know, he 467 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: doesn't arrive on time. He's gonna miss you know, meetings here, 468 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: he's gonna have run routes. Yeah. Well, OK, that was 469 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: it that it never changed and all of it and 470 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: everything that he was he was proven to be, but 471 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: he was still he was still awesome. I mean, let's 472 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: not forget what Mickey just said. I mean, nobody's caught 473 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: more touchdowns than him, So you know, it's part of 474 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: one of the most famous plays, infamous plays in team history. 475 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: I never go away. I just think this is more 476 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: about personality conflict that it is. Which I brought that 477 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: up because you hear things and Stephen said it publicly. 478 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's got to be able to control his 479 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: emotions and it factors into what's his production level, Like 480 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: at this point in his career, what can you deal with? 481 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: I love Dak Prescott, I do. I think he's really 482 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: he's going to be a really, really good player. I 483 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: think he already is there. But the honeymoon is definitely 484 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: over now for a lot of folks. Ye, But now 485 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,239 Speaker 1: like when this happens, and I'm not saying, oh no, 486 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: this is some big move. A lot of people they 487 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: could be best friends. I'm not saying they are. They're not, 488 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: but they obviously don't mesh well together as players on 489 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: the field. And that's the Cowboys don't feel that way. 490 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: So now it's like spotlights on you. You got to 491 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: find players that are Dack friendly and you've got to 492 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: go out and perform. I mean, the stakes have been 493 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: raised for him at this point in my opinion, and 494 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: they when they let TiO go at the end of 495 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: the O eight season, they didn't really have a replacement. 496 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Miles Austin emerged midway through that season, found the guy. 497 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: He made a Pro Bowl the next year. They've got 498 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: to have somebody step up. Alan Hearn's a couple of 499 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: years ago, thousand yards season, ten touchdowns, had some injuries 500 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: the last two years. Maybe you're banking on the fact 501 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: that he stays healthy. He maybe you know, realizes that 502 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: hopefully they do a better job than when they release 503 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: their previous three franchise players. Yeah, they released Troy Aikman, 504 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: Quincy Carter took over. They released emmett Or his contract 505 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: ran out, released him, rights Bill Parcels released him and 506 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: took over. Yeah, they release where Jeremy Mincy took over 507 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: pretty much. No, you're better have a better answer for 508 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, I think this is where released. Yeah, 509 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: well that would work, but they needed to make playoffs. 510 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 1: You know. Obviously they feel like, yeah, you're right, right. 511 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: Obviously they feel like they they have guys in place 512 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: that they can they'll be okay with. But again, you 513 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: gotta be right. Nick talks about the draft and really 514 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, and it and it I don't 515 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: think it's I don't think it's saying, Okay, just go 516 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: that route. But I think now with all the legwork 517 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: that they've done, that is that is the consideration. So 518 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: do you worry that I know that the rookie guy's 519 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: not gonna be good the first year, make right, that's 520 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: what you're gonna ask. And and they haven't been Those 521 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: first round picks haven't been that good. Well, you back 522 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: since Julio Jones, Yeah, fourteen, you could go back with 523 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and those guys. Yeah, three out of twenty five. Yeah, Julio, 524 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: AJ Green and Beckham and then Amari Cooper. Yeah. Mark 525 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Cooper made it. He's the only one in the last 526 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: few years that's made the Pro Bowl. And if you 527 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: go back to twenty twelve, so six drafts, only those 528 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: other three guys who have been to the Pro Bowl. 529 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: It's a difficult position to draft, at least the first year. 530 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: The first year, Yes, it's absolutely because of the style 531 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: of offenses they play in college and in addition to 532 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: the quality of defensive backs you play against in college. 533 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: You're a receiver at Oklahoma, you never play against press 534 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: coverage in the Big twelve. Right, It's it's a track meet. 535 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: The kid James Washington. That's why he's a downfield threat 536 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: because nobody ever presses him or anything like. And in 537 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: the NFL just yeah, you get you get knocked around. 538 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: You've got to figure out how to be a pro 539 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL early, and a lot of guys don't. 540 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: And NFEL not early. You know, son Jay Lyle is 541 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: not going to be sitting there with a card telling 542 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: his wide receiver Okay, there's your route. Yeah, you know, 543 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: you got to figure it out on the run, right, 544 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: And those guys are used to run into a spot 545 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: and mostly stopping, and all of a sudden they get 546 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: in here and go, oh, I got a route tree, 547 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: and I got three alternatives here, and I got to 548 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: figure out which one's the one I'm supposed to run. 549 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: Is Calvin Ridley an exception because he played in a 550 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: pro style offense and his route running is well. Brian Dyeball, 551 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: who is now the coordinator at Buffalo, Yeah, it means 552 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: some route chies you look at. That's where Mariy Cooper 553 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: came again, a different defensive a different offensive coordinator there. 554 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like the guy that has the 555 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: least route experience is sudden he's the one at sim 556 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: If you look at the scheme that they play in 557 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot of screens like quick passing game stuff. You know, 558 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: there's guys in this in this draft though, that had 559 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: that have great. The kid Miller at Memphis can run routes, 560 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's you're just pointing to him, 561 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 1: pointing to Anthony Miller, because I'm looking at this this 562 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: magazine and it has all these receivers, and I'm looking 563 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: at their bench press that they did the combine. I 564 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: see ten, I see fifteen, I see twenty, I see ten, 565 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: I see sixteen, see twenty two. Anthony Miller. Yeah, that's 566 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: a five eleven one nine. Yeah. And he's a playmaker too. 567 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: He absolutely it makes some circus catches for you. And 568 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. That's range his range. Probably I've 569 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: mocked him to us at fifty before. I think he's 570 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: somewhere between. Probably probably in that. We think just in 571 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: the draft shore again not calling in it, but we 572 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: think the run of the receivers is gonna start at 573 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: the top of the second round, like Kirk and those guys. 574 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: Exactly a lot of those guys. If if it's not 575 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: late one it's gonna be the early two. I think 576 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: people are gonna settle in and they're gonna say, just 577 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: start picking these guys one after the other. So if 578 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys, you kind of no man's land unless 579 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: you want to spend nineteen on a guy. Yeah, that's 580 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: that's what you got to know. That's what you you 581 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: have to know if you know at nineteen you might 582 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: not get necessarily the best guy is that guy Smith, 583 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: Steve Who, Anthony Miller, Anthony Miller, Steve Smith. Yes, No, 584 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't jo the guy that really this more that 585 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: DJ Moore's that way with the way he's a little 586 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: bit thicker guy. Well that guy sounds thick. Ye yeah, no, 587 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: no Millers, No, these are all comparison, and you know, 588 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: Dane Brugler does a great job. His comparison Franthon Miller 589 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: was Greg Jennings, the one that has me thrown off 590 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: a little bit as DJ Shark or Shark. Yeah, comparison 591 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: Ted gin If the quickness, the quickness that's the case 592 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: at six vertical six. Yeah, and he's at and the 593 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys went and worked him out the other again small Yes, guys, 594 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: time I played his whole college career without a quarterback. 595 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: The way he's The comparison then is with Gain. This 596 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: comparison is though when you watch Gain play, the quarterback 597 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: was a problem there. So the inconsistent, inconsistency of the 598 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: player trust me as an lsu alum. I've seen plenty 599 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: of games where Shark, where he makes spectacular plays. He's 600 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: a dynamic punt returner, but I've also seen the concentration 601 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: problems with Lack. It's one of those things that you 602 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: would worry about if he got into system like this 603 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: and they're feeding him the ball, feeding him the ball 604 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: and he's inconsistent catching the ball. That could wear on 605 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: a guy. You want a guy that's got a lot 606 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: of mental toughness to be that type of player. I 607 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: think more with what we were talking about more from Maryland. 608 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sits. He's played with like, you know, 609 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: eight different quarterbacks. You know, he's seen a lot of 610 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: bad balls he's seeing. You know, he hasn't had a 611 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: lot of success as as this with the wins and losses, 612 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: but he's a tough kid that has production. That's why 613 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: they brought him in because you watch him play and 614 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: I feel like they're guys there again, I worry about 615 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: I would worry about sudden not the physical traits. I 616 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: would worry about, though, the scheme to which he played in. 617 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: Can he be consistent enough coming in here and making 618 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: a difference initially? Can I ask you this? Does this team? 619 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: Tell me? If this is a stupid question, does this 620 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: team need a number one receiver the way they're constructed offensively? 621 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Is Zeke the deodorant for everything? 622 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: If he's there for sixteen games and is pounding the 623 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: rock and getting you five yards carry? I asked does 624 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: Bryant this question one time about because I asked him 625 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: about the running game? And he says, you know, and 626 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: I've said it before, I never minded the numbers being down. 627 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: As long as we won, right with the numbers. That's 628 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: I always gave him credit for that, because not all 629 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: receivers all like that. And now the minute they stopped 630 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: running the ball and stop winning, then and his numbers 631 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: needed to go up. But sometimes in this system you 632 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: have to you have to put your numbers aside and say, okay, 633 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: you know what made Cole Beasley is such a good 634 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: player for them? Two years ago? Seven targets, six catches, 635 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, eight targets, seven catches. He doesn't misspasses when 636 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: you got the opportunity to make catches. I think that's 637 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: the problem with does Brian. I think that was the 638 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: problem with Does Bryant. Does Bryant didn't have those one 639 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: or two extra catches a game to get his numbers up. 640 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: He had a high target, he'd have maybe ten targets, 641 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: but four catches. You know. Let me tell you, Hearns 642 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: is a little bit that way too. Hearns could be 643 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: a ten target, four catch guy Latch Jacksonville. That's that's 644 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: exactly what he can need to come up with the 645 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: news that well, I understand the time. I'm just saying, 646 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: our targets quality targets. So nope, exactly the quarterback and 647 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm throwing it over my head. Yeah, I'm just talking 648 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: about the announces a target. Where was Deslon drops? Though? 649 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: Last year? Too many? You had too many? Yeah, that's 650 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Okay, let's call drops. Then you know Des 651 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: Brian doesn't normally drop the ball. It's just a bad 652 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: It was a bad, bad campaign for him. He said 653 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: he let things creep into his mind too much. Outside noise. 654 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: He still had a better numbers than any wide receiver 655 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: that was signed in free agency. Well, he was average. 656 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: He wasn't bad. He was average.

Where do you 659 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: think we talked about where the Cowboys go next? What 660 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: what do you think's next for him? I mean he's 661 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: available now free agent, got an opportunity to go somewhere else. 662 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: What would you tweet out, Mick? He said, I'll see 663 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: you guys twice this year. Well, there's three options maybe 664 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: within the division, could be four A Houston Houston. You 665 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: play him in preseason? How far as Houston and the 666 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: love not far? Not far, It's probably closer to here. 667 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a good thing. No, would you guys 668 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: be surprised if he latched on somewhere and picked up 669 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: where he left off a couple of years ago, before 670 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: before all the injuries. If he ended up with a 671 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: quarterback that was accurate and can throw the ball like 672 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: Tony Romo would throw the ball to him, he could 673 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: be He could once again be Dez Bryant.
