Speaker 1: Jerry's got this thing down. Man, We're back there. So no, um,
Speaker 1: most of us okay, alright, the fan base, yeah, the
Speaker 1: fan base, so like the fan base is gonna gonna
Speaker 1: go right back in. You say you quitting. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like the people that said, you know, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not watching the NFL but kneeling record ratings guy rocketing.
Speaker 1: Oh so you didn't want so you won't watch? Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. Everybody everybody watch watch so yes, yes,
Speaker 1: um And amongst that that that hopium last night, I
Speaker 1: want to get you guys thoughts because Jerry talked about
Speaker 1: drafting the quarterback out and maybe the senior bone Nowadam.
Speaker 1: He mentioned that Max Duggin of TCU is the most
Speaker 1: impressive quarterback he saw down there. I talked to Max
Speaker 1: last night the Dave O'Brien Awards, So gentlemen, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: happened to use the pick on Max dugg and go
Speaker 1: around and we start with your church thoughts. It depends
Speaker 1: on what round we're talking, Like mac d you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's a good quarterback. He's a good quarterback. If
Speaker 1: we're talking you know, maybe second, third day, you know,
Speaker 1: fourth through seven round. I'm okay with that. Day three,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm okay with Day three. But you know,
Speaker 1: a top three rounds on Max duck and I just
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of that. And I understand, like, look,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be he's gonna go down as
Speaker 1: one of the better college quarterbacks in the game. I
Speaker 1: just don't see his game translating to the pros like that.
Speaker 1: And you know, we've seen a cap in time and
Speaker 1: time again. You know, you see a Tebow wi there,
Speaker 1: not saying any but I think he's a better passor
Speaker 1: than Tebow. But we've seen how you know, great college
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't necessarily translate to good NFL quarterbacks like breaker like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even think he's down. I don't
Speaker 1: put him. I can't. So I'm you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of four through seven. Third day we can you know,
Speaker 1: spend a pick on him, you know, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: get willing those guys to develop him a little bit.
Speaker 1: But as far as you know a day one or
Speaker 1: day two, I'm not a huge fan of that. I
Speaker 1: was hoping you wasn't going with that crazy article about
Speaker 1: Mike Fisher about c J. Stroud. Thought they had a
Speaker 1: nerd to put that on. Who's that? Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy, But I'm not look not in
Speaker 1: attaining that. I'm going to where you're going with Duggan.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about where we were with
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks Will Grier, Cooper Rush, he would fall in
Speaker 1: line and somebody that would be behind Dak. So I'm
Speaker 1: with BC on that, you know, third third day guy,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as drafting him, and I think
Speaker 1: that's where everybody ideally has him anyway. Um, I don't
Speaker 1: think no one's jumping out the cake to for him
Speaker 1: to be first round, second round talent level least, I
Speaker 1: don't think so not that I've heard, but we see
Speaker 1: how valuable a backup quarterback can be to this organization.
Speaker 1: And look, man, Cooper Rush, I ain't done on Cooper Rush.
Speaker 1: You know, we might we might have to make some
Speaker 1: at a Cooper let him up out of here. I
Speaker 1: wait for somebody to say that, because I'm like, we're
Speaker 1: talking about Duggan. We act like this man didn't come
Speaker 1: in and go undefeated. He came in and did exactly
Speaker 1: what he was asking to do. He protected the ball,
Speaker 1: and he held this team together while Dak Prescott was
Speaker 1: out four and one as a start. Now, Max Duggan,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm just telling you. I listen and we've
Speaker 1: seen like we've seen it happen over and over again,
Speaker 1: especially with the Cinderella teams. You've seen guys who play
Speaker 1: only Cinderella teams and they go throughout the season, they
Speaker 1: have amazing seasons. And then when they get against the
Speaker 1: top competition, the competition that you're likely going to see
Speaker 1: in the NFL as a whole, When you play against
Speaker 1: the George who has a team full of the NFL
Speaker 1: type competition, then you see what the truth, what the
Speaker 1: true story is, what a guy like that now can
Speaker 1: it just be the TCU was outmatched, you know, from
Speaker 1: top to bottom, and then he didn't really have much
Speaker 1: to play with. That is that is absolutely one of
Speaker 1: the possibilities that you were an attend you saw that
Speaker 1: great team. I know that's so. But when you think
Speaker 1: about drafting a guy like that, you have to also
Speaker 1: remember that that is the case. The guy was playing
Speaker 1: when he was playing in the Big twelve against no
Speaker 1: offense of the Big twelve. Big twelve, they lost the
Speaker 1: Kansas State. They lost, they lost the Kansas State over there.
Speaker 1: But when he when he comes he started sec he
Speaker 1: got he got the brakes blew off of them about
Speaker 1: oh super, I'm talking about jayl if to get on
Speaker 1: my at you look at you the false start. You're
Speaker 1: talking about Texas take anyways, Yeah, he got two of
Speaker 1: them the very And I'll say this, what what what
Speaker 1: round did Patrick Mahomes get drafted in first? So what
Speaker 1: you already said he not going to the first round.
Speaker 1: But you just said Big twelve, like like the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: Now no, no, the Big twelve. Now why many teams
Speaker 1: they got the Big twelve? Now all right, when you
Speaker 1: talk about the competition that they played against, when they
Speaker 1: played against SEC team is not the same, not even close.
Speaker 1: So and I bring this second third day guy so
Speaker 1: the third day so So I brought it up because
Speaker 1: it reminded me of Dak Prescott from the standpointed Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott heard say that his name was mentioned at the
Speaker 1: prescottference Max Duck and say, hey, look you know what
Speaker 1: you got Skylar Thompson out here? Who was out here
Speaker 1: playing games? You got Brock party. Does that give you hope?
Speaker 1: And it made me think about Dak Prescott going to
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, who was the Senior Bowl MVP, even
Speaker 1: though the most hype player was Carson Winson and Jason
Speaker 1: Garret and the Cowboys coaching staff coached him. But we
Speaker 1: saw and heard some of those same type of things.
Speaker 1: But the thing you kept hearing about Dak Prescott that
Speaker 1: I heard about Max Duggan was he was a leader
Speaker 1: of men, the kind of guy that people feel as coachable.
Speaker 1: Another quarterback I wanted to throw out there as we
Speaker 1: start to go into this whole premise of Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: free agent Will grit who knows Hendon Hooker at Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I liked him having a really good year till he
Speaker 1: got hurt, all the things you hear about, just good
Speaker 1: leader of men. So thoughts about the kid from Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I like him. You know that was number five, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has a huge arm. I've seen that again when
Speaker 1: we was playing against I want to say Alabama. They're
Speaker 1: playing against Yea, the dude just you know, click of
Speaker 1: a risk, kind of like Aaron Rodgers where he can
Speaker 1: flick the risk and it's going sixty some yards. Now,
Speaker 1: I think he's a row talent, you know. I think
Speaker 1: he's still got some Yeah, I think he still has
Speaker 1: some things to develop as far as reading defenses and
Speaker 1: you know, going through progressions and when it's not there,
Speaker 1: you know, check it down, all that good stuff. But
Speaker 1: as far as talent goes, I think he has it all.
Speaker 1: He has a boat love it, has a strong arm.
Speaker 1: He's athletic out there, so he can buy time for
Speaker 1: his receivers. He can also run the ball as well.
Speaker 1: So I think that would be a more interesting prospect
Speaker 1: than Max Duggan going into the backup scenario because I
Speaker 1: feel like Max Duggan is basically a little bit more
Speaker 1: athletic than Cooper Rush. That that's just my opinion on it.
Speaker 1: But if you bring a guy like Hernon in here
Speaker 1: still maybe a second third day type of guy, I
Speaker 1: think he can develop him. Yeah, they took guy. I
Speaker 1: think you can develop him and he could be a
Speaker 1: solid backup, you know, for Dak Prescott if they were
Speaker 1: to go that route. Yeah, I like him. I like
Speaker 1: for all the reasons that you just just said, especially
Speaker 1: the arm strength. Um As you stated, it's really hard
Speaker 1: to value college quarterbacks these days because of the systems
Speaker 1: that they play in. They just don't ask a lot
Speaker 1: of them. As far as what you said about reading defenses,
Speaker 1: so you don't know guys are throwing to an area
Speaker 1: versus throwing guys open, and that's the difference in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But I like the prospect of it. You know. For me,
Speaker 1: I just returned back to, you know, Dak and his
Speaker 1: maturation as a quarterback through the league. Those were some
Speaker 1: of the things that we were asking about him, you know,
Speaker 1: reading defenses, just footwork, all of those things as well.
Speaker 1: So those are some of the because I didn't study
Speaker 1: him that way to even know does he have those things?
Speaker 1: Can he read defenses, does he have the great great mechanics,
Speaker 1: velocity on his ball, what have you, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: like him. I like him. I don't have a whole
Speaker 1: lot of negative things to say about him. Yeah. One
Speaker 1: thing about that, And this goes back to the other point.
Speaker 1: Dak played in the SEC, and Dak shows some athleticism
Speaker 1: that matched teams like LSU, teams like Alabama. When he
Speaker 1: went to Mississippi State that year, them dudes was out
Speaker 1: there playing crazy ball when he was like, now we've
Speaker 1: never seen no Missi State. I'll play like this, all right.
Speaker 1: So playing against that type of competition, Same thing with
Speaker 1: the God for Tennessee. Who is he playing against. When
Speaker 1: you talk about being able to recover, just being able
Speaker 1: to do certain things, when you're playing against a Nick
Speaker 1: Saban coach defense, then you have to assume that's probably
Speaker 1: the closest that you're going to get as far as
Speaker 1: scheme wise, is playing against the NFL type of game.
Speaker 1: He had an ele of A game. He played the
Speaker 1: ELEVA game. So when you're just looking at the type
Speaker 1: of competition that they played against in the athleticism, I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely going way higher on him than I am going
Speaker 1: with Max Duggan. That's no shot at Max dun He
Speaker 1: did what he what he was supposed to do at
Speaker 1: TC and actually elevated and went way above that. But
Speaker 1: if I'm picking, and I'm being honest about the potential
Speaker 1: and the experience that you had throughout college that chose
Speaker 1: the proof of what you can be in the league
Speaker 1: and how ready you can be, I'm looking at I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the SEC guy perfect, perfect. This is good.
Speaker 1: This is good because it just lead me along. So
Speaker 1: we know Jerry Jones is not going to use a
Speaker 1: first round traff pick on a quarterback. We know this.
Speaker 1: He's only done it once. The first ever pick they
Speaker 1: made Traitman nineteen and I haven't done it. So when
Speaker 1: you talk about the quarterback position, then Jerry took spoken
Speaker 1: in Alabama. You know we need to take one each year.
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker is going to be a Day two guy,
Speaker 1: Round two or three, Duggan most likely four, could maybe
Speaker 1: slipping to three. Are you comfortable using your second or
Speaker 1: third round pick on a quarterback? Daddy for Hindon Hooker. Man,
Speaker 1: But you got who's my first round pick? Is it
Speaker 1: the officsive lineman that I need? Let's just say it.
Speaker 1: If it's if we get an offensive linemen, if we
Speaker 1: get an officsive lineman. I'm okay with that, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to still sit here like I continue to say
Speaker 1: every year and we hit on Tyler Smith, thank goodness,
Speaker 1: but now we still got other guys who we have
Speaker 1: question marks with, right, and like you go back to
Speaker 1: the years and you want to be Jason Garrett and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You go back to the years where
Speaker 1: we were feared as a football team is when we
Speaker 1: had the offensive line that had Tyrant Smith, Zach Martin tracks,
Speaker 1: we had those guys. That's when teams are like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to line up against them, dude, and
Speaker 1: you are running team. Yeah, you're head coaches, you're head coach.
Speaker 1: Now it's not a well we got. We got back
Speaker 1: to running the ball more last year than we have
Speaker 1: since Jason Garrett was out. Can we agree on that?
Speaker 1: When when he was like, hey man, we need to
Speaker 1: run the ball more, when Tony Paul and Ezekiel Elliot,
Speaker 1: we was averaging almost twenty carriage twenty twenty five verses
Speaker 1: a game, but he was overall he's about passing the ball.
Speaker 1: So that's we need all We still need the offensive
Speaker 1: linemen to pass block and run block. Okay, hack your well,
Speaker 1: you know what knew. I've been around you now for
Speaker 1: an entire year, and I know when you're laying and
Speaker 1: this is a red crome moment right now for you.
Speaker 1: And I just don't want to follow who are you're
Speaker 1: taking me? Because look, no, the answers, no, the answers no.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel comfortable that there. The need is too
Speaker 1: much in other areas to take a quarterback. And in
Speaker 1: the second round you have to you have to get
Speaker 1: a linebacker, you have to get a defensive lineman. They're
Speaker 1: just you have to all offensive lineman. There's positional need
Speaker 1: wide receiver. We're back, all right. We got to make
Speaker 1: a good decision, not a guy that developed. We don't
Speaker 1: need no red hurts, no red shurts this year. This
Speaker 1: is this is hit the ground running the year for
Speaker 1: everybody to come in. She says, unfair, bro, because we
Speaker 1: need to go over free agency or nothing like now
Speaker 1: I'm saying, they're thinking, like, where do we get a
Speaker 1: free agent? Like who's on the team by the time
Speaker 1: the draft comes, right, sprinkle, get the whole free agency
Speaker 1: processes all the way to draft. I wanted to stop it.
Speaker 1: I'm glad, you say, I'm like you know what, I
Speaker 1: ain't even think about who's still on the squad at
Speaker 1: that time. I've got an ending to this. Yeah, of
Speaker 1: course the answer is heck no, I mean I would
Speaker 1: not no hearing it. No. I mean, like like my
Speaker 1: boy Heck said, I mean, there's too many needs that
Speaker 1: we gotta have out there. We're gonna do that corner
Speaker 1: right now. We got a guy coming off of a
Speaker 1: broken foot and a free agent who tours a or
Speaker 1: Achilles and Anthony Brown, so I outside of DIDs you
Speaker 1: know who, we got a corner. I think we need
Speaker 1: to do something that corner. Like you said, lineback, got
Speaker 1: some guys in the trenches that we need to resolve
Speaker 1: out there. Well, we're gonna do that safety. I know,
Speaker 1: we got um who's at Hooker and her still on
Speaker 1: the continent. They have one more year left in their deals.
Speaker 1: Wilson's a free agent. Wilson's a free agent. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of guys that we need to
Speaker 1: take care of, or guys that we need to bring
Speaker 1: in the field. Those things I don't think we need.
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of rush that's what see, that's
Speaker 1: what happens. That's what happened with the Cowboys because we
Speaker 1: don't go out and we don't make those big free
Speaker 1: agency moves that we like. We got to get it
Speaker 1: all in the draft, you know, we get in free
Speaker 1: agency some of those those pieces that we need, we
Speaker 1: can go get them. We see Philly go get in
Speaker 1: Dominican Sue in the middle of season. Like there are people,
Speaker 1: there are people that you can go get outside of
Speaker 1: the draft. You can bring a big time free agent
Speaker 1: in here and have them ready to go and make
Speaker 1: that be one of the biggest free agent moves ever.
Speaker 1: But the last time you've seen the Cowboys do the
Speaker 1: outside of Mark Cooper Brandon car but that was his
Speaker 1: No Mark, they made that trade for put that money.
Speaker 1: But don't see it. But you can, which sometimes you hope.
Speaker 1: You like. Man, there's some guys out there we can
Speaker 1: you know that if they want this team, I think
Speaker 1: we would be a lot better. Come on, pull the
Speaker 1: curtain back. But yeah, please, we wait. I feel like
Speaker 1: you wrote this down. We're following right into it. Come on.
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman used the second round pick on Jalen Hurtson.
Speaker 1: Everyone was killing him in Philadelphia and he was killed
Speaker 1: amongst draft nicks, of what are you doing. You've got
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, You've paid him all this money, here's your guy,
Speaker 1: And they said, you know, here's a quarterback and we
Speaker 1: think he could do something here. I was skeptical. I
Speaker 1: was skeptical. A lot of people were skeptical. So the
Speaker 1: whole thought about having a quarterback, and Jerry's already put
Speaker 1: this out here. I do wonder where do they go?
Speaker 1: What did they decide to do? We know all happened
Speaker 1: around one, but I am very curious to think about
Speaker 1: what it is they decide to do. And when I
Speaker 1: just think of quarterbacks here, having not dived into it deeply,
Speaker 1: I don't even think about the first round guys, because
Speaker 1: I know that's not gonna happen here. But when you
Speaker 1: talk about a Hindon hooker and just the point you
Speaker 1: made about handing this, the guy was doing it in
Speaker 1: the SEC who who was a Highstman Trophy candidate. If
Speaker 1: he doesn't get hurt, that brother could have won it.
Speaker 1: He was playing some outstanding football here. Um Max Dugg
Speaker 1: and the guy that Jerry spoke about. So you know,
Speaker 1: when Jerry's talking about people, he's actually paying attention that
Speaker 1: maybe that's where they go, yes, Cooper Rush could come back,
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost you a little bit. Will Greer. I
Speaker 1: still think Will Greer has has potential to play here,
Speaker 1: and if they can develop Cooper Rush, I'd like to
Speaker 1: think they could keep developing Will Greer. But it's something
Speaker 1: to me in a seventeen game season now, with Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott and there's other quarterbacks across this league, you must
Speaker 1: be working on the quarterback on It's like recruiting that
Speaker 1: all ABC always being, always be drafting the quarterback in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys say they want to jump on board with that.
Speaker 1: So what Will say this is, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: opposed to putting somebody behind Prescott just to put a
Speaker 1: little presson on them, just a little And you see
Speaker 1: what we did to that defense just for the competition,
Speaker 1: put a competition alone that that draft year when Quinn
Speaker 1: came in, we got you know, eleven draft picks all
Speaker 1: on defense, and you know what you've seen what happened
Speaker 1: with that. So I'm not opposed to, you know, putting
Speaker 1: just a little bit of pressure on him just to
Speaker 1: make sure his game is on point. Third round, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get a break in here. Let's get

Speaker 1: don't want to I'm former players. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hit on the running backs. But that stuff they were
Speaker 1: saying about running backs and how long they last, it's true.
Speaker 1: It's true. He's coming out a grucial. It's true. So
Speaker 1: as good as as good as a running back and
Speaker 1: be in the first two three years, you know that
Speaker 1: year four, year five, that you're gonna have a significant

Speaker 1: Polaver right now, I'm like, I don't know, man, I
Speaker 1: need to know how what what's the return looked like?
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna basis off of past behavior of the
Speaker 1: cowboys in the franchise tag. They have tagged the wrong
Speaker 1: guys just continuously or not worked out a deal instead
Speaker 1: of giving the guy franchise tag. And for me, if
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Jerry Jones and I speak the King's
Speaker 1: language fluently, but I would say I wouldn't give not now, nuther,
Speaker 1: not now. Not a franchise tag would be an issue
Speaker 1: this year, are anytime soon, unless we're talking about the
Speaker 1: big briefcase now, he will get French attacked because he's
Speaker 1: not going anywhere if we can't work this out. But
Speaker 1: any of these other guys, I mean, even with Tony Pollard,
Speaker 1: what I would do is I would try to treat
Speaker 1: it as though Tony Poler didn't have the injury. I
Speaker 1: would allow him to test the market to see what's
Speaker 1: out there, because teams are going to be able to
Speaker 1: dictate that to you, all right, so allow him, uh
Speaker 1: that courtesy. But I wouldn't, man, I wouldn't be in
Speaker 1: a situation, especially not for safety. Fourteen million million linebacker.
Speaker 1: There's no way, There's no way I wouldn't. The only
Speaker 1: one you could do is ten. That's it. That's it
Speaker 1: that with character went up and you still and that
Speaker 1: would be last result for me. That would be like
Speaker 1: the eleventh hour and this and that's gonna help Zeke
Speaker 1: with his USA. Like, man, so what we're doing. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm with your heck on this one. I'm not passing
Speaker 1: in the hour. I'm not passing any especially after the
Speaker 1: numbers out of unseen when you got linebackers hitting twenty
Speaker 1: you know, safeties four and fourteen and a half. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no ridiculous right now. So I'm not franchise tagging anybody,
Speaker 1: you know when it comes down to to to polar
Speaker 1: which is the only you know scenario where I would
Speaker 1: throw one out there if it was forced to. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, polot man, I'm bringing Polo back. And if
Speaker 1: you know, if our guy, you know, Zeke isn't isn't
Speaker 1: willing to take that cut, then gotta let back Goones,
Speaker 1: be back ones, let him get the role. Because I
Speaker 1: feel like depending on how well Tony can come back
Speaker 1: from this injury, which he's young, he's young, I think
Speaker 1: he can bounce back and so I have that explosiveness.
Speaker 1: I think he's shown to everybody that he can be
Speaker 1: that bell cow back. I think he I think those
Speaker 1: days of people thinking he can't take the beating, you
Speaker 1: only got to give him fifteen touches per game or
Speaker 1: you'll you'll max him out, I think those thoughts are gone.
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten to the point I really broken.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, brse call back back tack.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a I think it was more
Speaker 1: of a fluke than a than a than a wear
Speaker 1: down injury. I came four four years for eighty year
Speaker 1: with the franchise, that being ten yeah, ten he trying
Speaker 1: to get him on the watch always. Let's gonna target prices.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna target prices, y'all, y'a think he's gonna get
Speaker 1: more than that? Ten? Hold on on, so y'all think
Speaker 1: he gonna get more than that on the market, he
Speaker 1: gonna have to. I think you'll get more that he
Speaker 1: get at least even with the broken leg. What somebody
Speaker 1: gonna say like he's gonna be able to come back
Speaker 1: off that? You said it was, It wasn't. But now
Speaker 1: he made eight. He better be calling somebody NFLPA because
Speaker 1: he gonna be yes. And who would not trying to
Speaker 1: work their own deal that Richard Shervy like man, I
Speaker 1: don't think you need to go. They would p wouldn't
Speaker 1: to let him do that. Ten, let's do ten. That's
Speaker 1: young man over the dollar t I can't hold on
Speaker 1: the number ten point one. He gonna be the lower.
Speaker 1: But hold on, hold on. We're talking about a guy
Speaker 1: that definitely, you know, he wasn't a starter, though we
Speaker 1: are saying like the guy was. You know, he had
Speaker 1: he had a great season. He had a great season
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. But let's just say, did he get a thousand?
Speaker 1: But I don't. I still, I'm still there's still a
Speaker 1: question mark for me about the bill call back if
Speaker 1: you if you like, if you go to a running team,
Speaker 1: this dude gonna take twenty twenty two carries a game.
Speaker 1: But see, I don't think he would. I think he
Speaker 1: would be more suitable and like a how McCaffrey is
Speaker 1: used in San Francisco right now, kind of like they
Speaker 1: passed them running him a little bit half somebody there
Speaker 1: to spell him as well. I think he would go
Speaker 1: to a team in that regard. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: still thinking eight ain't too bad a pass catching guy.
Speaker 1: He out here and running and you know, doing all that.
Speaker 1: He only get eight how much one year? Though? This
Speaker 1: is one year ten one for running back? But what's
Speaker 1: the salary captain ship? How much should be going up? Crazy?
Speaker 1: It was like, and the Cowboys are seven million projected
Speaker 1: seven million over the cap right now. So let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. We are we already know. I've been saying,
Speaker 1: I've been telling, come on, you're already now, you can
Speaker 1: save a lot. They try, they're gonna try to say
Speaker 1: something with it, you know what. Come on, So we're
Speaker 1: talking about Tony Pollard. If We're being just realistic and honest.
Speaker 1: He's a part time player. It's really good part time player,
Speaker 1: but he's not a full time player. In his pass
Speaker 1: bro is not good. What would you say he's a
Speaker 1: Kamara or would you not even put him up there
Speaker 1: that moment because you know Kamar splits with you know
Speaker 1: those guys in there, say not at all, because na
Speaker 1: Man Kamara is so dynamic as a pass sketching running
Speaker 1: back and running the ball. I would look not to
Speaker 1: take anything away from Tony Pollard. This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: As far as the market is concerned, I think Jared's
Speaker 1: already set the market at the running back position before.
Speaker 1: You don't want to do it again. All right, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna do it again. The biggest, the biggest decision
Speaker 1: that you have to make is only Ezekieli. Then will
Speaker 1: he be here next year? Kansas City? All the teams
Speaker 1: that played in the playoffs showed you the success to
Speaker 1: the running game. Bring in some three, some four or
Speaker 1: fifth round guys, even some undrafted free agent guys. They
Speaker 1: can get it done for you. But this whole notion
Speaker 1: of you gotta have that one guy that can do it,
Speaker 1: like the Jacobs the you know, I think all of
Speaker 1: those days are slowly dissipated into another team brings it back,
Speaker 1: and I don't see him to you something that that
Speaker 1: CMC he a different guy. Christian McCarver is a different guy.
Speaker 1: And I think on any team, his ability to run
Speaker 1: the run the ball, between the tackles, catch the ball,
Speaker 1: and create mismatches, I think he's pretty much one of
Speaker 1: a kind. And he's been doing it long enough when
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he ain't slowing down yet, and he
Speaker 1: deal with injuries and he still comes back. But when
Speaker 1: when San fran got him, we was all like, oh wait,
Speaker 1: that's it's about to be nasty over there in San
Speaker 1: franc I think Christian laughter is such a different beast.
Speaker 1: It's hard to compare a lot of people to him
Speaker 1: and what he does and also what you just the
Speaker 1: point that you just made his durability, I think that's
Speaker 1: the biggest issue, but us of his talent level and
Speaker 1: him running outside. I think Shanahan last year he showed
Speaker 1: you that he even has to think differently about Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and how he uses him instead of the kind
Speaker 1: of running scheme that he wants to use which is
Speaker 1: pounded inside the tackles and cemc ain't that Hey, why
Speaker 1: why are we talking about McCaffrey. I just want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to the dunk contest. When we
Speaker 1: got McCaffrey, then the man come out here when the
Speaker 1: dunk uns, it was a big top dunk. Y'all hit
Speaker 1: on the gap, all three of them. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not that cain't jump a remake coming out. He absolutely no,
Speaker 1: he but he crushed it. He crushed it. He crushed it.
Speaker 1: But it just what it just pains me to see
Speaker 1: this old school. We know he didn't give old school.
Speaker 1: The dunk contest is just man, dude, it's it's horrible.
Speaker 1: The mad and Lebron he didn't do it. They put
Speaker 1: it all out. You want to see Lebron in the
Speaker 1: dunk contest went up there. Now, he didn't do what
Speaker 1: he was younger than he made. All the stars not
Speaker 1: do it. Not that man. Y'all gonna hate on him anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I hate he's away for the reason
Speaker 1: I hate on the runt. Yeah. Look, I mean, look, man,
Speaker 1: All Star Game in general, it's garbage. So it isn't
Speaker 1: that all Star Weekend, ain't though I better. Okay, Christ
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is different, though he is, he's very different. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any comparison to what he is doing
Speaker 1: as far as they pass Catcher and being able to
Speaker 1: run in between the tackles outside on stretches and zone reads.
Speaker 1: But his durability is an issue. And now Tony Pollard
Speaker 1: that is. So let me throw this here. If they
Speaker 1: franchise Tony Parks ten point one million dollars, if he's
Speaker 1: making ten, we know you're gonna have to cut his
Speaker 1: e Eliot's number down. What do you cut him down to?
Speaker 1: What is it? Is it twelve? He's at sixteen? Right?
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, he's high number. So you got ten.
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna put put put Eliot down
Speaker 1: for it. And we're gonna come by in this out.
Speaker 1: So we got ten point one? And what are you
Speaker 1: gonnayz I'm not answering that question. Not good because it'll
Speaker 1: be outrageous. I'm not even gonna say it'll be a
Speaker 1: good nay. I was wrong, m sixty sixteen, not twelve.
Speaker 1: You were think of twelve. Ain't nobody paying him? Sixteen?
Speaker 1: Got there on the street but I think he knows that.
Speaker 1: I think if if he has people around and the
Speaker 1: that's really talking truth to him, I think he knows
Speaker 1: that those days of sixteen are over and he ain't
Speaker 1: gonna touch sixteen, and if he wants to stay here,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to take a significant cut, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be somewhere in the ballpark of over half three
Speaker 1: to I'm saying, I'm saying over half. Yeah, yeah, over half.
Speaker 1: So three to five million is gonna be his ball play.
Speaker 1: And that's and that's gonna take everything in him to
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna stay here when I was just making sixteen,
Speaker 1: now I'm making between three and five. What would he go?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of teams off the top of Arizona.
Speaker 1: They got James Connor, but the you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think James Connor is the back that Zeke is. Carolina.
Speaker 1: They got the two, they got the two young Bucks,
Speaker 1: over Rams, the Rams, the ms. Okay, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a tough decision to make, especially I
Speaker 1: think I think the key thing is would be if
Speaker 1: the team definitely franchise tag Tony Pollard, then that would
Speaker 1: just mean the demise of you have to. And the
Speaker 1: reason I bring that up because if you pit Tony
Speaker 1: at ten and you say three to five, as you
Speaker 1: brought up, do you are you ready to devote thirteen
Speaker 1: to fifteen million dollars to a running back position? Here's
Speaker 1: a lot when you're not a running team. When you're
Speaker 1: not a running team, And you've seen the two teams
Speaker 1: in this year's Super Bowl when without elite running backs
Speaker 1: having it doing it by a committee. We've seen the
Speaker 1: Chiefs to it by committee. We saw the Rams when
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl by committee. Um that that's That's ultimately
Speaker 1: what I'll kind of get into is how much money
Speaker 1: are you willing to invest in a position that you
Speaker 1: did you have devalued by switching your head coaches. And
Speaker 1: one player who's clearly the statistics show is no longer
Speaker 1: the player it used to pick. And another lays coming
Speaker 1: off an injury. So we're talking maybe thirteen to fifteen
Speaker 1: million dollars on one guy coming off an injury, another
Speaker 1: guy who skills him stellily gonna down. We comfortable with
Speaker 1: that guy's no, no, not thirteen, But I'd be nervous
Speaker 1: to just kind of dismiss Zeke because we've seen how
Speaker 1: guys come back from injuries. Not saying that Pollards. You know,
Speaker 1: um leg injury is the same as Gallops ACL. But
Speaker 1: I mean when Gallop came back, he was nowhere near
Speaker 1: the type of athlete he was before the ACL injury.
Speaker 1: So let's so the answers answers, No, that that you
Speaker 1: don't do that. And then I think if you handle
Speaker 1: your needs in the draft and you go out there
Speaker 1: and you get you a real good offensive lineman, you
Speaker 1: show up and you return to a real good what
Speaker 1: offensive lineman? Yeah, and that that gives you the leg
Speaker 1: up to say, all right, we may not need thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollars. We may can go get a fifth, sixth
Speaker 1: round guy. Or I'm paying my head Coulter, he's the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinat let's figure out. I'm going to get this done.
Speaker 1: Like what it's teams around the league, Like you said,
Speaker 1: was it because there is tonys the it can be done.
Speaker 1: They drafted a guy in the first round. I'm my
Speaker 1: LSU guy. Man, it's a healthy scratch. Yeah, let's take
Speaker 1: a break. That hurt. Let's take a break. You got
Speaker 1: to perform when we come back. I want to go
Speaker 1: back into something you just said right there, Let's die
Speaker 1: a little bit more into this running back situation, because
Speaker 1: I definitely think cowboy fan needs to try to think
Speaker 1: a little bit more outside the box when we start
Speaker 1: talking about numbers here and there's other places you gotta
Speaker 1: feel steal it with Barry churchech Ma Harrison. He's Danny

Speaker 1: ain't got you heard it here, I ain't got it.
Speaker 1: All right. It was checking out the rushing numbers here
Speaker 1: and one through twenty two. So so Josh Jacobs led
Speaker 1: the league and rushing one thousand, six hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: three yards and at twenty two. That's where Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: comes in. By the way, twenty Potter was sixteenth and
Speaker 1: rushing sixteen games, one thousand and seven yards average five
Speaker 1: point UM yard to carry and his longest run was
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards. Looking right here, Elliott. Of the top
Speaker 1: twenty two running backs, Elliott Nacy Harris were both tied
Speaker 1: when it came to average three point eight yards to
Speaker 1: carry UM jacobs average. Jacob's average was four point nine,
Speaker 1: as he was four nine, Nick Chubb was five point one,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders was four point nine, Travis Eten was five
Speaker 1: point one. Airing Jones was five point three UM. He
Speaker 1: was splitting carried to he liked to they reworking his
Speaker 1: deal too. Yeah, Tony Polar five point two m As
Speaker 1: far as just going back here and looking at um
Speaker 1: Nacy Harris seventeen games, one thousand and thirty four yards,
Speaker 1: um Ezekie Elliott fifteen games, eight hundred and seventy six yards.
Speaker 1: Of the top twenty two running backs, and you look
Speaker 1: at their longest carry. Zeke Cathley, his long was twenty
Speaker 1: His long was tied with Albert Kamara for the lowest
Speaker 1: at twenty seven yards. Yeah. No, don't even compare the
Speaker 1: Nazi here, because I think that's a totally different situation.
Speaker 1: He was what they was working with with quarterback up
Speaker 1: there too, and the defenses that they would would have
Speaker 1: to go against based off what was available to him.
Speaker 1: He had a foot injury all year lives. He was
Speaker 1: basically hurt from from camp playing against the stack box
Speaker 1: with I was talking about earlier in the season. All right,
Speaker 1: when it comes to Zeke, you Elliott man, for all
Speaker 1: those young players, don't you go on that field if
Speaker 1: you're feel an injury, because what we what we talk
Speaker 1: about now in the off season, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: those numbers dropped a little bit so somebody it was Nazi, right,
Speaker 1: who had to hurt foot? Not to hurt foot. Those numbers,
Speaker 1: how they're not averaging out the way they used to be.
Speaker 1: How are we gonna have to take some money on it?
Speaker 1: But when the seasons around, are you a warrior? You're
Speaker 1: the heartbeat of this team. We needed to go out there, dude,
Speaker 1: don't worry about all that stuff in the off season.
Speaker 1: We got you. When you come back, they're showing you good.
Speaker 1: But because when he had when he had a message, man,
Speaker 1: he's the client. I'm just saying. So going back into
Speaker 1: the the talked about the number sportion potentially fifteen million
Speaker 1: dollars if you decide to franchise Pollard at ten un
Speaker 1: Let's say you give Elliet a contract. It's three to
Speaker 1: five millions, so it's fifteen you've seen the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: you can win. Where a running back committee where the
Speaker 1: Cowboys messed up, I think we'll all agree, was that
Speaker 1: wide receiver committee last year didn't work. They're going to
Speaker 1: have to put some more dollars towards that. Where we agree. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't have to pay CD. You ordered them pay Gallup.
Speaker 1: But you got guys who are looking to come out
Speaker 1: proven deals. Man, I'm just gonna continue to say, if
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham is heavy, I mean it's healthy. Why not
Speaker 1: approving deals what he's looking for? Why not giving that shot?
Speaker 1: If you're looking for guys to be difference makers on
Speaker 1: the squad, I mean you ran out there with Michael
Speaker 1: Gallup still trying to get his knee and ankles right
Speaker 1: this year, why not give obj shot? If you're looking
Speaker 1: for free agent because you know the dude, They're not
Speaker 1: going to go make a bunch of money to get
Speaker 1: a guy. Saw ESPN Head mentioned that too. They're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about best fits and they put them in Dallas.
Speaker 1: But here's the question. Had you come from putting more dollars? Mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, you gotta put more dollars. Is that
Speaker 1: where you want to go? But I just believe that
Speaker 1: you can't. I'm thinking running back dollars have to be less,
Speaker 1: while receiving corps has to be more. Being Odell Beckham junior,
Speaker 1: anybody even gotta put more money. I just don't approve
Speaker 1: going into the season like we did last year. I
Speaker 1: just I refuse to believe that anybody that had put
Speaker 1: their thinking cap on thought that they could go into
Speaker 1: a season with just Ceedee Lamb, Dennis Houston, Semi Phoco,
Speaker 1: and whoever else they were trying to run up. Not
Speaker 1: understand it didn't work. It didn't work the result again
Speaker 1: and it didn't work in those moments where you absolutely
Speaker 1: had to have a guy, a lead guy. Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: didn't establish himself as that receiver until I think five
Speaker 1: six games into the season. Odell Beckham gives you a
Speaker 1: proven commodity. I'm willing to go with the guy like
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham knowing damn well what he's what he provides
Speaker 1: for your team. Now, the other question is house, the need,
Speaker 1: the health, all those things that you just asked. But
Speaker 1: I also am looking at other free agent wide receivers
Speaker 1: that's out there. Well, yeah, you can't understand, but other
Speaker 1: free agent wide receivers that's out there. There are some
Speaker 1: guys out there on the street or maybe in the
Speaker 1: draft that you can go and you could pinpoint that
Speaker 1: could help this team. That the mistake that we made
Speaker 1: with Jalen Tolbert we cannot make with another soul in
Speaker 1: the draft. You cannot make that with another soul. But
Speaker 1: NEWI they made a mistake last year. They made a
Speaker 1: mistake last year with the overestimation of what the wide
Speaker 1: receiving coreps was and they can't they cannot approach this
Speaker 1: season the same overestimated two things, what Dak Prescott could
Speaker 1: do with less and what the receivers core was because
Speaker 1: they looked at and they say, we're paying the gout
Speaker 1: for you get them out there with a Cede Lamb
Speaker 1: on Michael Gallop, y'all think you underestimated how long it
Speaker 1: was gonna take him to get back to being one
Speaker 1: hundred percent and you underestimated all that. That's how you
Speaker 1: ended up with the receiving cord that you had where
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz and Ceedee Lamb were the two guys. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Dalton Scholtz free agent, man loved him, pale he was.
Speaker 1: I love him. I love him, you know yea, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna resect the market with him, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: gi'm I'm off from a deal because what's the what's
Speaker 1: the franchise for the for a tight end right now?
Speaker 1: Eleven thing? I tell him, you know, I tell him, man,
Speaker 1: it was fun, man, you know what. I love it
Speaker 1: from them. Nothing. It's over. It's over because we got
Speaker 1: we got young Ferguson. We got the futures already here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly ain't the same. I'm just telling no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it ain't. It ain't just say if you're if you're
Speaker 1: gonna keep Dak Prescott here, Okay, it's tough for you
Speaker 1: to say I'm gonna keep you and then get rid
Speaker 1: of your favorite best target in your safety blanket, get
Speaker 1: another one. Yeah, I mean, it's that easy where you
Speaker 1: prioritizing things. So if you know, we say we need
Speaker 1: helping the wide receiver when we gotta pay somebody emp
Speaker 1: over there, you know, tight end, we got the running
Speaker 1: back situation, we need an offensive lineman. Then you go
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. Soe some guys in the trench.
Speaker 1: This is where you prioritized. Got some got you got
Speaker 1: some guys that you need to you know, you got
Speaker 1: some guys, but you got you got, you got, you
Speaker 1: got something, got some ways to free up some cap space,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's not let's not act like we
Speaker 1: got we got some guys. It's sixteen million dollars on
Speaker 1: running back that's got We just talked about how that's
Speaker 1: got to get He ain't the only one. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: can't do that. Thirteen million is just not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think it's nineteen. Yeah, we ain't going talk a
Speaker 1: franchise tag of thirteen million for a tidy end and
Speaker 1: a running back tag of ten million dollars. That's potentially
Speaker 1: twenty three million dollars for two spots. That's tough. And
Speaker 1: they ain't the top of eight position. Are the three.
Speaker 1: That's why I go. That's why I'm saying fergin him
Speaker 1: the shot on the future. That's why I'm going at
Speaker 1: the tight end position. I mean, and they showed you enough.
Speaker 1: Ferguson showed you enough throughout the season. That dog he's
Speaker 1: like that showed you. No, No, he showed you that.

Speaker 1: two receiver? Come on now, man, going to propo Being
