Welcome in, everybody. We've got John Machoda back 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: in the building today. What's up, John, what's going on? 13 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 5: He'll be back to be back. 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: It feels like we're in that loll. We've got Nick 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Harris and Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeoman's. 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: But it's that loll between the Super Bowl and the 17 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: combine where there's nothing going on whatsoever. There's no Pro 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: Days yet, there's no free agency yet, there's really nothing. 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: It's the end of the coaching carousel. You get to 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: see some hires. We'll talk about that a little bit 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: later on, but yeah, Nick, whenever you look at the 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: NFL landscape, there's. 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 5: Not anything happening really. 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, the only thing you can really look at from 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 6: the calendar is franchise tags are able to be applied 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 6: starting today going forward for the next two weeks. But 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 6: it doesn't look like this franchise is going to use 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 6: one this year. We've talked about it at nauseaum, I 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 6: believe so far here in the offseason and then during 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 6: the season as well, it just doesn't make sense to 31 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 6: put that tag. 32 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 7: On anybody right now going into twenty twenty four. 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 6: So I would expect the Cowboys to be quiet in 34 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 6: the next couple of weeks from that instance. But I 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 6: think also you could look for, you know, before free agency. 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 6: I think there's a couple of things you can still 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 6: look for for this team. And one it's a potential 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 6: restructuring of Dak Prescott's con track. I think that's something 39 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 6: you you can kind of look at, but that could 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 6: happen before free agency. You can talk about Ceedee Lamb's 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 6: contract too. I don't think that necessarily has as much 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 6: importance of getting done before March eleventh hits, but you know, 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 6: maybe trying to get a beat on the receiver market 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 6: before guys like Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase and those 45 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 6: guys get their deals. 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 7: You know, that's certainly something to keep an eye on. 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 6: And I believe Mike Evans as well is going to 48 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 6: be up for an extension this year as well, So 49 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 6: there's a lot to still kind of keep an eye 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 6: on and keep your keep your ear out for. You know, 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 6: I'm kind of keeping my phone faced up just in 52 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 6: case for a couple of those reasons. But yeah, most definitely, 53 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 6: I think the focus is Combined, which you know, will 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 6: be in Indianapolis next week. I'll miss next week's show, Sorry, guys, 55 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 6: you know Dan, I'm just I'm. 56 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 8: Not thinking I'm gonna be too Yeah, yeah, come on, 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 8: come on. 58 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 7: Down, John. 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: I think that means we're all missing next yea. 60 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds about It's gonna be me by myself 61 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: talking about the combine. Maybe I'll just do like a 62 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: storyline ask type show where I've. 63 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 5: Got just phone calls coming in. 64 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: I'll learn from Nick Eatmon and there or and I'll 65 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: ask him some Maybe that's how we do it. 66 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 67 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: Maybe the phone calls are you guys, it's you maybe 68 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: in Indy, John and Indy, and then we can go. 69 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 6: To Isaacah and Mount Kilimanjarro. He got in yesterday after 70 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 6: about eighteen hours of flying. So you see the first 71 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 6: seat that he was in so bad. 72 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: I mean he looked like he was doing he was 73 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: halfway down in a squat, like he had zero leg room. 74 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 8: Well, eighteen hours, it was about four hours. 75 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well I think he went to Detroit first. So 76 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 5: you know that flight. How long is that flight? 77 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 8: Two three hours? 78 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 7: Two three Okay, Yeah, there you go. 79 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 6: He went Dallas, Detroit, Detroit to Amsterdam, than Amsterdam to 80 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 6: kill him in Jarrow And it was about eighteen to 81 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 6: twenty hours of traveling all in all. 82 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 7: And yeah, he made it in. 83 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 5: Yesterday, but he did make it safely. 84 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 7: Better better man than me, Better man than me. 85 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: What do you think about the franchise tag? Nick talked 86 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: about it a little bit there initially, but this is 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: an organization that has not been shy from using the 88 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: franchise tag in the past. Is there any possibility on 89 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: this roster that would be a franchise tag player? 90 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 8: No, it would be very surprising. Yeah, I think it's 91 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 8: a no brainer not to use it this year. That's 92 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 8: why they're not doing it that anytime. I feel like 93 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 8: the Cowboys. There's someone in the discussion. I feel like 94 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 8: the Cowboys lean on and now we'll give them the tag. 95 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think there's any better example than 96 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 8: Tony Pollard last year. But I mean we've seen it 97 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 8: past Marcus Lawrence as whatever goes on and on. So yeah, 98 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 8: they're not shy about using it. But I mean I 99 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 8: look at that sixteen unrestricted free agents. I don't see 100 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 8: anybody that is makes any sense to use that. You know, 101 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 8: people ask ask me, like, oh, who do they absolutely 102 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 8: have to sign? Who they absolutely have to bring back? 103 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 8: Like absolutely nobody. I mean, now, there's definitely people that 104 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 8: you want to bring back. There's there's some key pieces 105 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 8: there that would really help your roster, but there is 106 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 8: no in years past where you would have basically all 107 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 8: the guys that are right over your shoulder right now, Mike, 108 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 8: you know, tray Von Diggs, C d Lamb, Dak you know, 109 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 8: there's there's nobody like that that you have to you 110 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 8: have to get that done. I mean, I guess if 111 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 8: Tony Pollard was coming off like a seventeen hundred yard 112 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 8: season or something like that, of course, then that would 113 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 8: be somebody that you'd factor in. But but that not 114 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 8: being the case. I mean, I just think it's a 115 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 8: no brainer that they wouldn't do anything with the tag. 116 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's just nobody on that list that you want 117 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 7: to pay market value for right now. I'd be shocked. 118 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 6: I think Tony Pollard could have been an idea before 119 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 6: the season started. Maybe he gets tagged again going in 120 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, but I think with the production that 121 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 6: you got from him in twenty twenty three, it doesn't 122 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 6: make sense to pay him that value right now. 123 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm thinking it would have to have been 124 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 8: excuse me, not even regular season. Yeah, they would have 125 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 8: had to probably make the NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl, 126 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 8: and he would have had to be a big part 127 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 8: of it. 128 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 7: Where you're just like, whoa the check. 129 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, whoa, they've been saving this thing up for the playoffs. 130 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 8: Where did this come from? And he's got like a 131 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 8: buck fifty against Green Bay and then and then and 132 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 8: then they play San Francisco and he's got like one 133 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 8: hundred and seventy five yards or somewhere. You're just like, well, 134 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 8: we can't even mess around. This is such a big 135 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 8: part of this team. But I've always said that covering 136 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 8: this team thirteen years now, I've always going at this 137 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 8: time in the off season, I'm like, well, if the 138 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 8: season ended different, you can make a case for anybody, 139 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 8: because if it gets you finally to that Super Bowl, yeah, 140 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 8: get wild, I mean and. 141 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, there's they're going to keep everybody 142 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 5: around that if you're. 143 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 8: Balling in the playoffs and you've got this Cowboys team 144 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 8: to a super Bowl, I can make arguments for a 145 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 8: lot of guys. But like I said, I've been covering 146 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 8: team for thirteen years. That hasn't happened. So a lot 147 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 8: of these decisions to me are relatively easy. 148 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Has hasn't happened. They have applied the tag every year 149 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. It was de Marcus Lawrence back to 150 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: back years. Then of course everybody remembers Dak Prescott in 151 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: back to back years twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. 152 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: Then it was Dalton Schultzen twenty two, Tony Pollard in 153 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: twenty three. So it'd be the first time since twenty 154 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: seventeen the Dallas has not applied the tag. I'm with you, guys, 155 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a guy on the roster, And yeah, 156 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't think there's anywhere who's the 157 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: best chance there. Maybe I was thinking maybe a specialists, 158 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: like like a Trent Sig. Yeah, like something weird like 159 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: that matter. Trent Sig gets the friend, you get the 160 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: franchise tag On. 161 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 5: Brian Anger, I mean, I don't know what his contract situation. 162 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 7: He's not he's not up to be a free agent. 163 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 8: I mean, I only I mean, who are the top 164 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 8: guy is in there? It's it's Tyron Smith, It's Tony Pollard, 165 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 8: It's Stephan Gilmore, it's Beyottish and Laren's Arms Gilmore. 166 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 6: I don't think you're paying market value for Gilmore, but 167 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 6: you look at what he brought to this team last year. 168 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 7: I'm just trying to look for the best case, like 169 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 7: who has the ten percent change? 170 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Well, remember it isn't it the combination of the top 171 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: five core player or the average kind of money. 172 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: It would be like Tyron, Tyron Smith and be Oddish year. 173 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 6: I don't think you're giving either of those guys. 174 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 5: Top five money. 175 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 8: So Steph On Gilmore would be in in in this. 176 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 8: In that conversation for me five years ago, team doesn't 177 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 8: have darn Bland, Trayvon DIDs is coming off that knee injury. 178 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 8: Then I'm like, that's a because I'm I think you 179 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 8: need three, Like it's no more to starting corners, you 180 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 8: need three starting corners. But so I want Gilmore back, 181 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 8: There's no question about that. And it sounds like from 182 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 8: everything he said during the Super Bowl week that he 183 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 8: wants to be back. So I agree with you. I 184 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 8: wanted to bring him back. I just didn't win one 185 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 8: to give that franchise tag number. 186 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: Uh do Armstrong? 187 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 6: No, I don't think you're paying top that to money. 188 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 6: Wouldn't be that's that's you're talking. Gosh, is that what 189 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 6: Joey Bosa money? 190 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 8: If it's if it's top five, we see what it 191 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 8: would look like for they do something, do something like that. Honestly, 192 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 8: my biggest takeaway on that is would be Michael must 193 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 8: be playing a lot of linebacker next year. That must 194 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 8: be part of their plan because when you have Mike 195 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 8: uh and DeMarcus Lawrence, I don't know how you would 196 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 8: be trying to spend, like even if you take the 197 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 8: tag out of it. Just in free agency with Dorrance, 198 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 8: I mean their best two edge rushers and preg So 199 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 8: it would be Dorance and Dante Fowler. I honestly would 200 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 8: be surprised if one of them, if not both, ends 201 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 8: up in Washington with Dan Quinn. I would like to 202 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 8: head one of them back, you know, but it would 203 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 8: have to be That's what I like when I look 204 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 8: at all those I know you've written about it too, 205 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 8: Like those all those unrestricted free agents, Like there's really 206 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 8: almost nobody on there unless they're willing to come for 207 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 8: somewhat of a team friendly deal. There's nobody that you're 208 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 8: you're looking at. You're just like, well, you might have 209 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 8: to overpay a little bit to keep that guy. It's like, no, 210 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 8: I mean, it's gonna suck if you if you lose 211 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 8: some of those guys, but you don't. You shouldn't be 212 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 8: overpaying for any of them. 213 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 5: I really think Larrance would be about a twenty million hit. 214 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's not gonna happen, Absolutely not. 215 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 5: Sorry. 216 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 6: I think I think the only one that was a 217 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 6: home run from the day the season ended is Trent Sig. 218 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 6: You got to bring him back, but long snap five 219 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 6: point six, five point six for Trent's sake on a 220 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 6: franchise tag yep. 221 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 7: I just I don't think they'll tag him like they don't. 222 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 7: They don't necessarily need to. 223 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: And then as time went on, Gilmour makes more sense 224 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 6: with what the comment said he made in Super Bowl week. So, 225 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 6: I mean, other than those two guys, you look at Gosh, 226 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 6: it's it's it's interesting. You look at Tyron Smith, you 227 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 6: look at Tyler be Oddish, and you wonder, you know, 228 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: how does the team gonna approach those two guys? How 229 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 6: do they pair that with the draft class that's coming 230 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 6: up this year, especially a deep offensive line class in 231 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 6: the first round. 232 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 7: But the thing is, we've talked about this on the 233 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 7: Draft Show. Let's say they go in on. 234 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 6: Tyron Smith and they let Tyler be Ottish walk, So 235 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 6: they're banking on getting that center in the first round. 236 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: It doesn't fall to them. 237 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 6: They all get there's a run before two twenty four 238 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 6: and that center gets taken off the board. Then are 239 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 6: they rolling with brock Hoffin or TJ. Bassett starting center, 240 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 6: which you know they had their moments last year at times, 241 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 6: but how comfortable are they with that? And then on 242 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 6: the flip side, they pay Beiottish let Tyron Smith walk, 243 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 6: So they're hoping to find that tackle to be able 244 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 6: to put it left tackle Okay, you follow the twenty four, 245 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 6: that guy that you like at twenty four is not 246 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 6: there and you kind of have to reach a little bit. 247 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 6: So I wonder where they go with that direction. How 248 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: do they kind of play with that, and is there 249 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 6: an option where both come back and they still draft. 250 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 7: An offensive line in the first round. I think there's 251 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 7: a lot of those situations I could play out. 252 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 253 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: I just I'm looking through these numbers too, and some 254 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: of the tag numbers are just unreal. I mean, Gilmour 255 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: would be eighteen, Tyler Biottish would be nineteen, along with 256 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith that would also be nineteen. 257 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 7: The center is nineteen. 258 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: Wow, Well, I think it's just offensive line, okay, may 259 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's what it has here. That's unofficial. Don't 260 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: take my word for it. This is off of a 261 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: specific website that I don't necessarily think pays money to 262 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, So I don't want to necessarily put. 263 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 5: Their name out there. 264 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: But it's a good website, it's yeah, And so I 265 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: think there's there's ways that you can build this roster 266 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: without the franchise tag. 267 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 5: And by ways, I mean that's probably the only way. 268 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 8: I mean, it would be honestly think it's kind of 269 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 8: been shocking. You just go down the list of forget 270 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 8: who's a free agent right now, you just go down 271 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 8: the list of this Dallas Cowboys team, and let's say 272 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 8: every single person on the roster was a free agent. 273 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 8: There's crobaently five or six guys that you put the 274 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 8: tag on. Maybe I'm off, but yeah, I mean, you 275 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 8: wouldn't You wouldn't let Trayvon Diggs go. You wouldn't let 276 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 8: John Bland go, you wouldn't let Micah go. And I 277 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 8: think I'm almost done in defense. I was gonna start, 278 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 8: oh oh yeah, and then and then on offense, because 279 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 8: I don't think you're given twenty million to DeMarcus Lawrence. 280 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 8: So so then on offense Cede Lamb, Dak Prescott, Tyler Smith, 281 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 8: Tyler Smith or Zach Martin. So I mean, even with that, 282 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 8: that's we're at seven. 283 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 284 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, Brandon Aubrey. 285 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 8: Brandon Aubrey Canlan. Also, by the way, I usually sit 286 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 8: over there, I'm a very distractable player or are you. 287 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 5: Watching TV over here? 288 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 8: I mean when you look at that all, it's like 289 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 8: very easy to be like, but I keep like looking 290 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 8: over them, like there's a lot going on over there. 291 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm very wait till you, like if you sat in 292 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: on a draft show, which by the way, we've got 293 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: an open chair, so if you want to stick around, 294 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: you can't. But they'll put up highlights of these players 295 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: like film highlights, and all of us being film buffs, we'll. 296 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 5: Just start watching. 297 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: We'll start watching, like the hands placements and everything. This 298 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: new studio is phenomenal. 299 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 5: It's no correcting, it really is. 300 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 8: But I mean, you guys obviously are in the press 301 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 8: box after games, and there's some people and I used 302 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 8: to think I was one of these people. I'm not anymore. 303 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 8: But that can just work in the main area where 304 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 8: everybody's at, and then there's other people that work back 305 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 8: by the tables.

It can get in that press box 310 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 8: with people coming back from the locker room talking about 311 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 8: different things they heard Jerry said this or whatever.

And you know, Jerry reaching out to Jimmy 486 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 6: for advice. But I don't put a whole lot of 487 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 6: stock into it as far as the big picture stuff. 488 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 8: I don't either. It does sound good just because the 489 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 8: last time those two worked together, it led to building 490 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 8: a dynasty, and that's what every Cowboys fan wants this 491 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 8: team to get back to, So of course you like 492 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 8: hearing that. I find it just interesting just because of 493 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 8: the fact of that never should have the communication, never 494 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 8: should have stoped between the two of them, you know, 495 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 8: And I think there's some pettiness probably there on both sides. 496 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 8: I think both are a little bit to blame for that. 497 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 8: So however it came to to where Jerry finally put 498 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 8: them in the Ring of Honor, I think that that's 499 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 8: a good move that helped them kind of maybe bury 500 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 8: the hatchet and kind of get back on talking terms. 501 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 8: But I think it's a good thing because Jimmy is 502 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 8: a guy that a lot of people around the NFL 503 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 8: lean on that will go down and visit him in 504 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 8: the keys and stuff like that. I know over those 505 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 8: years of the Dynasty years in New England, Bill Belichick 506 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 8: was doing that a lot. So yeah, I think it's 507 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 8: a I think it's a good thing, but I don't 508 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 8: I don't look at it as necessarily like, oh, well, 509 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 8: now now they're going to return to the nineties glory. 510 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you think about it? Second part of 511 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: the question, stack and some linebackers. 512 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, so linebackers you talked about on the draft blog 513 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago in Dallas Cowboys dot Com 514 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 6: potential double dip positions, and I think linebacker is certainly 515 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 6: one that you know could happen if the Cowboys maybe 516 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 6: even pick up an extra pick here in the draft. 517 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 7: It's it's very necessary to get one in the early rounds. 518 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 6: He's sort of top five that I have a number 519 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 6: one Edrian Cooper out of Texas A and m number 520 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 6: two Peyton Wilson out of North Carolina State. Three Jeremiah 521 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 6: Trotter junior out of Clemson, four Cedric Gray out of 522 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 6: North Carolina, and then five. Yeah, your boy Ikenberg there, Eric, Yeah, 523 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 6: I think he's He's definitely got some run stoppability. He's 524 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 6: got that physicality that I think this team would need. 525 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 6: I think there's two types of linebackers that you're kind 526 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 6: of seeing in this draft. You got the athletic guys 527 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 6: that can cover all around the field, and then you 528 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 6: got some of the bigger set guys who maybe more 529 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 6: downhill guys that will stop the run. 530 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 7: You look at second levels. 531 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 6: Like Baltimore, you look at second levels like Kansas City, 532 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 6: and you wonder how you can kind of replicate those 533 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 6: I think there's a way to go in either of 534 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 6: those directions with guys in this draft if they if 535 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 6: they feel like they can pop on one in the 536 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 6: second or third rounds. I think any of those five 537 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 6: guys would be interesting directions to take. 538 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 7: I've got Cooper from A and M. 539 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: Trotter from Clemson, Peyton Wilson from ENCI State, I like 540 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: Junior Colson from Michigan. Ayah, well, you talk about a 541 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: big downhill defender. Six with three two forty seven, I 542 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: mean these are guys that are I mean, that is 543 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: a guy who's stuffed the run. And I think Ikenberg's 544 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: in there too. He's just outside my top five. He's 545 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: at number six right now. So there's a lot of 546 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: good players there. Are you considering Dallas Turner from Alabama 547 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: and Ed Rusher? Yes, I am too, Okay, So I 548 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: just want to make sure we're on the same page. 549 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: Chris Braswell's in there too, both out out of Alabama, 550 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: both kind of played that three four outside linebackers. Sort 551 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: of feel I'm I'm considering them ed rushers and I'm 552 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: staying more true to linebacker here with Cooper, Trotter, Wilson 553 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: and Colson. 554 00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, mainly off the ball guys. 555 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 8: Swarre draft expert at the Athletic Is is Dane Brugler, 556 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 8: whoever used to work on the Draft show here does 557 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 8: a great job. I lean on him for a lot 558 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 8: of the draft stuff because I just, I mean, that's 559 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 8: his that's his job three sixty five, you know. And 560 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 8: so I recently put together like twenty players to know 561 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 8: for the Cowboys in the first round, and what kind 562 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 8: of stood out to me, I used Dane's top one 563 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 8: hundred draft board is kind of a template for it, 564 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 8: and it was interesting how he didn't have he doesn't 565 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 8: have a linebacker in the top thirty eight players out 566 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 8: of his top one, right, yeah, and he has Colson 567 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 8: at thirty nine. This is out of his top one hundred, 568 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 8: just linebackers. 569 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 5: These are these are his Colson is number one. 570 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 8: He does wow, And so these are thought I was 571 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 8: high having him as four out of his top one hundred. 572 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 8: He has five linebackers, so it lines up with the 573 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 8: caller asking the question, and so he has he has 574 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 8: Colson at thirty nine, Eddrian Cooper at forty two, Iikenberg 575 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 8: at seventy four, Peyton Wilson at seventy seven, and Trotter 576 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 8: at ninety nine. And that kind of surprised me a 577 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 8: little bit, just as a Florida State fan, because I've 578 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 8: seen Trotter a lot with Clemson and I just think 579 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 8: he's phenomenal. I think if you if like it lined up, 580 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 8: like let's say that draft board went exactly like the 581 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 8: draft goes, if you're able to get Trotter at ninety nine, 582 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 8: I just think that would be that's yeah, great, great. 583 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 5: Would be beautiful. 584 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: That's better than you pick Nashwan, right, and that means 585 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: you're pick yeah, and that means you're picking something significant 586 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: of value in the first two rounds to pass over 587 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: a linebacker. 588 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: That means you're getting probably an offensive lineman, maybe two. 589 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you're getting a big defensive tackle, like a sweat 590 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: or something out of Texas in the second round. 591 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: I would love that pairing. 592 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: You get an offensive lineman in the first, you get 593 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: a defensive tackle in the second, get a linebacker in 594 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: the third, and it's Jeremiah Trotter, sign me up. 595 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 8: You know what impacts this a lot, though, is you know, 596 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 8: when we go to the combine next week, it's it's 597 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 8: not I mean, it's obviously about the draft, but it's 598 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 8: a lot about free agency too. You know, going on 599 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 8: Jerry's bus, there's a lot I mean, the agents are 600 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 8: there the whole time, so there's a lot of unofficial 601 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 8: talking about free agency things like that. Trades can you know, 602 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 8: discussions can happen and stuff like that. And it's like 603 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 8: if the draft was next week, like I'm thinking that 604 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 8: the Cowboys are taking a linebacker second round, and they might, 605 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 8: but if they make a trade between now and the draft, 606 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 8: or do they sign something in free agency? Because Mike 607 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 8: Zimmer likes this linebacker. They want to bring in a 608 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 8: veteran and you pair that with what they have with 609 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 8: Clark and Overshown. I mean, maybe they don't draft one, 610 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 8: you know, but as we see here today, like ripping 611 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 8: off those five names, like, you'd think that there's a 612 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 8: decent chance of the Cowboys draft one of those players. 613 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 8: Because that's such a major position. It has to be addressed, 614 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 8: no doubt, no doubt. 615 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: I think there's ways that you can address those positions, 616 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: but it's got to be linebacker. You got to find 617 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: something there at some point this offseason. Since they haven't 618 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: done anything yet, we're looking straight at the looking straight 619 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: at the draft. 620 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 5: Currently. All right, let's go to Nebby in Maryland. What's 621 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 5: going on? Nebby? 622 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: Hey, guys, It's been a long time since I've been 623 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 2: on this show, so I just got to say, it 624 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: feels great to be back on Talking Cowboys. 625 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, Nebi, thanks for calling in.

My comment is I just want 629 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: to thank Will McClay for being so loyal to the 630 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, and I really hope that we are able 631 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl championship before he leaves this 632 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: organization to become a general manager somewhere else. And my 633 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: question is do you see Deduced fun having a role 634 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 2: on on the Dallas Cowboys next year? Because I am 635 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: really high on him and I really think he can 636 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: help us out. I take care, thank you so much 637 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: for being patient with me, and have a great week. 638 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 5: Oh bye, Great job, Nevy, great job man. 639 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: The first thing about Will McClay, no doubt, I'm in 640 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: all agreeance with him, and hopefully they do get it 641 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: done because he's done a great job of building this 642 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: roster drafting. That's why it is exciting to talk about 643 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: the draft in this building. There were other organizations around 644 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: the NFL where you look at the draft and you say, 645 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: that's just. 646 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 5: Another date on the calendar. It could work out, it 647 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 5: could not. Here. 648 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: You've really built some trust with this front office in 649 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: the way that they've they've angled towards the draft. 650 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 5: That's what makes things exciting moving forward. And Will mcclay's 651 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 5: the head of all that. 652 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 8: And the Deuce Fawn thing is interesting because I think 653 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 8: that He's obviously a great story and a lot of 654 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 8: people love that about it, But I just thought that 655 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 8: there'd be We just saw a little glimpses where they 656 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 8: were able to get them involved last year, and I 657 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 8: just thought more of that would be utilized as a 658 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 8: season when I and there was less of it sure, 659 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 8: And so kind of like going with the linebacker thing, 660 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 8: it's one of those deals where I don't know. I 661 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 8: kind of feel like if we're going in the draft 662 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 8: right now, I mean, if you don't have Tony Poward, 663 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 8: you have to draft a running back relatively early. I'm 664 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 8: not talking about first round, but I would think somewhere 665 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 8: maybe as early as the second or third. But I 666 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 8: just I don't know that duce Vaughan is going to 667 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 8: be the answer there where you look at him as 668 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 8: like he's getting fifteen carries a game. I just don't 669 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 8: know that that not with what I saw from the 670 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 8: offense last year, which is obviously going to be a 671 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 8: similar offense to what we see next year. 672 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think the. 673 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: Ceiling there obviously is a complimentary back that does a 674 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 6: lot in the receiving game, and potentially, you know, if 675 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 6: there's one day that the team decides to move on 676 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 6: from Turp and then you know you have a return 677 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 6: threat and do spawn there. But yeah, his opportunities, and 678 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 6: this was something I kind of cracked down after the 679 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 6: season with him specifically, is whenever his opportunities came, they 680 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 6: came in times where the second team offensive line was in. 681 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 6: He wasn't really able to get many running wanes. Not 682 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 6: to say he's not to take any fault, but gosh, 683 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 6: there were some opportunities. You look at half of his 684 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 6: carries and I don't think any of us are getting 685 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 6: any yards on those carries. So I would like to 686 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 6: see him get that one more big shot during training 687 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 6: camp and preseason next year. See what he does with that, 688 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 6: see if he's improved going into year two. And if 689 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 6: he has, then you know there's an opportunity for him 690 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 6: to be on this on this team going into year two. 691 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 6: But I think training camp and preseason is going to 692 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 6: be really big for him. 693 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: I didn't event this past weekend for the Cowboys club 694 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: where we were talking about the season recap and we had. 695 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 5: It on that but well, we were talking about the. 696 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: Season as a whole, and we had a couple questions 697 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: over Duce Fawn and here's another one from Neby. When's 698 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: the last time we're talking about a six round player 699 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of March or I guess February is 700 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: still about wanting to see more of the six round player. 701 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: The expectations are high for duce Fawn, but you got 702 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: to remember who he was as a draft pick. 703 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 5: He was a late day three draft pick and working 704 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 5: into the fold. 705 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: One of the compar Garrison's I had with him during 706 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: draft time, and it wasn't an uncommon comparison, it's darren Sproles. 707 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 5: If you look at darren Sproles and what he did 708 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 5: in his. 709 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: First season he was with the San Diego Chargers fifteen games, 710 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: he had eight carries for fifty yards, did not have 711 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and then he had three receptions for ten yards, 712 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: so total yardage wise, he had what is that sixty 713 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: yards total his entire rookie season. Then he missed the 714 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: entire second season. 715 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 5: With an ankle injury. 716 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: So through the first two years of the league, darren 717 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Sproles had nothing go his way, and honestly, he didn't 718 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: end up really doing much with San Diego. They moved 719 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: on from him in twenty eleven. He stayed five years 720 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: with San Diego, had a decent career with the Chargers. 721 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: Then he moved on to New Orleans. But then it 722 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: was when he got to Philly in twenty fourteen where 723 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: things really hit the ground running. Deuce Vaughn's got to 724 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: figure out a way to make it in the NFL. 725 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's not trying to bank away. 726 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: He's as involved as an individual, he's as motivated as 727 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: an individual. 728 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 5: He has got the right mindset to be in the NFL. 729 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: But he's got to find a way to adjust to 730 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: the pace of play, and teams are going to have 731 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: to adjust into how they figure out how to use 732 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: douce Vawn. And he had twenty three carries forty yards 733 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: over seven games. He had seven receptions for forty yards, 734 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: so he actually had eighty yards of production compared to 735 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: sixty for Darren Sprolls. I'm not giving up on duce 736 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: Fawn just yet, but at the same time, you've got 737 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: to look at where he is as a player. He's 738 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: got a long way to go, and I think the 739 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: team has a long way to go to find a 740 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: way to use him. 741 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 6: He had a couple of fun moments in preseason, he 742 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 6: really did had great moments. That touchdown I'm looking at 743 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 6: right here from the Seattle game. I forgot where he 744 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 6: kind of he was getting spun down and he spun 745 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 6: around was able to make it work. Thirteen carries for 746 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 6: sixty four yards and two touchdowns during training camp or 747 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 6: excuse me, during preseason right at five yards of carry. 748 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 7: So I think there's still an opportunity for him to 749 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 7: make some noise. 750 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, when you talk about the six round picks getting 751 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 8: a lot of attention and talk, So I went back 752 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 8: and looked at what they've since twenty sixteen. They took 753 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 8: Anthony Brown in the sixth round, Savior Woods, Cedric Wilson, 754 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 8: Donovan Wilson, So all good players go great gets all 755 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 8: the stay around. But yeah, definitely not the hype that 756 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 8: matches up with what Douce Fawn has. I think a 757 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 8: lot of it too, also has to do with that 758 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 8: he was just a great college player too, and a 759 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 8: lot of people got to see him tear it up 760 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 8: and so it was just air easy to see, oh, yeah, 761 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 8: this is the way that he could be used. And again, 762 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 8: like every every offense is different, So it's like just 763 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 8: because he's not being used in a certain way here 764 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 8: doesn't mean that like he doesn't have an NFL career. 765 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 8: I just don't. I'm just going off of what I 766 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 8: saw last year, knowing the offense is probably going to 767 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 8: be somewhat similar. I just I don't know how they're 768 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 8: going to use him more. I mean, so much has 769 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 8: to be fixed in the running game before you even 770 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 8: get to that, And a. 771 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: Lot of the questions around Cavante Turpin in twenty twenty 772 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: two is how do you get evolved offensively? He got 773 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: involved offensively this year. They took him an offseason. He 774 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: had eleven receptions one hundred and ten yards and that 775 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: big touchdown early in the season. 776 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 5: So there's ways that you can get guys involved. 777 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: That was rushing yards, by the way, you had twelve 778 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: receptions in one hundred and twenty seven yards receiving. 779 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 5: I think there's ways that you can get Dousfon involved. 780 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 5: You just got to find a way to do it. 781 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we're gonna take one 782 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: more phone call, wrap things up here on this edition 783 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: of Talking Cowboys and get you set for the week ahead, 784 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: and then of course NFL Combine week next week. 785 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 8: When we come back right after this. 786 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 12: They say champions are remembered, but legends are never forgotten. 787 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 12: United Agon Turf offers a winning lineup of John Deere 788 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 12: equipment built to tackle any challenge on and off the field. 789 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 12: Legendary John Deere Tractors, combines residential mowers, commercial mowers, compact 790 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 12: construction equipment, hater utility vehicles, and a full line of 791 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 12: golf and sports turf equipment.

Fast, reliable, secure, 822 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 9: It's not complicated. 823 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 10: Five G requires compatible planning device.

Quaker Oats the 830 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. I gotta look 831 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: to my left. Normally it's Isaiahs stand back. John Michoda 832 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: didn't get it in this morning. That's okay, It's okay, 833 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: Quaker Oats, Baby, make it happen. All right, We're gonna 834 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: make it happen by going down to the great City 835 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: of Houston, HTx, where Bruce is doing great work down there. 836 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 5: What's up, Bruce? 837 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 17: Hey, guys, good show, First time call. I usually speak 838 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 17: to a little bit on the storyline, but thanks for 839 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 17: letting me in. I really love the way you guys 840 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 17: have your insight. I mean, especially on the Draft show. 841 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 17: It's just very in depth and it really helps us 842 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 17: novice fans, you know, really understand it even more. My 843 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 17: favorite draft would be if we get that kid from 844 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 17: Oregon as a center number one, pick Powers and then 845 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 17: Swift from Texas as a defensive line and number two, 846 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 17: and then I would take Benson from Florida state running back, 847 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 17: or even Brayln Allen from Wisconsin. That would be an 848 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 17: awesome three round pick for me. But it's all going 849 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 17: to depend on free agency, of course, because it looks 850 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 17: like Tyrant's coming back for at least one more year. 851 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 17: So hopefully we only have to replace center, which might 852 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 17: be a little bit easier. But a lot of the 853 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 17: draft boards show that kid going at sixteen and twenty one, 854 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 17: so I hope we don't have to use any ammunition 855 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 17: to go up and get him. But hopefully he'll be 856 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 17: there because he looks like a plug and play player. 857 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 17: But my question to you is this, because you know 858 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 17: they talk about everything. Jerry Jones and up to Dallas 859 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 17: are all in, ships are all in. Well, it's going 860 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 17: to depend on a lot on Dak Prescott's contract. I 861 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 17: love Dak. I think he's a heck of a player, 862 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 17: but after eight years and in the playoffs, I think 863 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 17: we need to go in a different direction. So if 864 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 17: we're truly all in, because obviously if we do what 865 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 17: we did this year, mccart's gone. I don't know if 866 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 17: them are signed more than a one year contract, but 867 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 17: they're going to blow the thing up. So if you 868 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 17: do redo Dak's contract, whether it's just for you know, 869 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 17: voided years so we can get some cap relief or 870 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 17: doing a true contract, they've got to, my opinion, make 871 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 17: it to where no trade clauses out of there. Now 872 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 17: you can maybe guarantee him that we won't trade you 873 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 17: this year because we're all in, but after that then 874 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 17: they're going to blow this thing up. So my question 875 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 17: to you would be this, if Pinnix is there at 876 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 17: twenty four, the quarterback from is it Washington State? 877 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 5: Washington? 878 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 17: Ye, if he's there, would you, I mean, do they 879 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 17: you think they value him more than they do trade lance? 880 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 17: And you know, I don't know if you guys can 881 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 17: answer on that, but that's what I would do. I 882 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 17: don't think any player, even as good as Dak is, 883 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 17: should demand a no trade claws. 884 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,280 Speaker 16: But that's my opinion. 885 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 17: You know, hang up and listen. Great show, guys. 886 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 5: I appreciate you very much, Bruce. 887 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: I think the thing about Dak is you can't trade 888 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: him because there is no trade claws. You you can't 889 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: tag him because you can't. The only thing you can 890 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: trade that he's got to say yes, which which is 891 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: not going to happen. 892 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 8: Right, But I mean if they wanted to move on, 893 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 8: they could work something out with them. I mean, obviously 894 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 8: that's what the Lions did with Matthew Stafford. I mean, 895 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 8: it's not like this is It's not like it's a 896 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 8: hard no trade like all, well, there's just well he 897 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 8: can't be traded. No, he can be traded, but he 898 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 8: would have to he'd have to agree upon the team 899 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 8: that they were sending him to. And believe me, if 900 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 8: he said, how Mary Jones. 901 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 5: Would you have to carry there? Because he's fifty nine. 902 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 8: Oh, it's not a great to say. 903 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 5: I'm not doing it. 904 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 8: I'm just telling you that it can be traded. 905 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, where do you go? 906 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 8: Can I just one part of that Calle? Absolutely? 907 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. 908 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 8: I think a lot of teams, a lot of franchises. 909 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 8: You could use the words blow this thing up if 910 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 8: it doesn't go well this year. I just don't see 911 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 8: any blowing up going here, because even if you move 912 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 8: on from the head coach, I don't see that going anywhere. 913 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 8: I don't see Ceedee Lamb going anywhere. I don't see 914 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 8: Michael Parsons going anywhere. And so you can change the 915 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 8: head coaches, and you can change the coaching staff, but 916 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 8: it's going to be ultimately about the players. And the 917 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 8: only way things would massively change here would be you'd 918 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 8: have to go in a completely different direction at quarterback. 919 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 8: And I don't see this team doing that. Whereas, yeah, 920 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 8: there's a lot of great points that the caller made, 921 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 8: and I do think there are franchises in the NFL 922 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 8: that would be considering that right now, but those are 923 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 8: more aggressive franchises than this one is. And again, I'm 924 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 8: going more off since i've covered team, but I've covered 925 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 8: team since twenty eleven, and there's been no blowing up. 926 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 8: I mean it's literally gone from like it just rolls 927 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 8: into the next thing. Like there was no blowing things 928 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 8: up when they decided to go from Romo to Dak. 929 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 8: There was no blowing things up when they went from 930 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 8: Garrett to Mike McCarthy. And so while that could be 931 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 8: a good thing, that might be the best thing that 932 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 8: happens would be to blow everything up and start over new. 933 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 8: That's I would don't see that happening with this organization 934 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 8: at all. 935 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 6: If you trade Dak Prescott, your window is officially closed, 936 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 6: and it's closed for two three years until you can 937 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 6: get a quarterback that you trust to be. 938 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 8: Able to Oh, I don't think that at all, not 939 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 8: in today's NFL. I do not think that at all. 940 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 8: If you get if you got the right player, you know, 941 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 8: I think that you've seen the brock Perties and the 942 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 8: Jalen hurts Is of the world that if they did 943 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 8: draft that right player at twenty four, I could see 944 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 8: it going that way. But that's a big risk because 945 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 8: that player would after twenty four could also have the 946 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 8: impact of Johnny Manziel. 947 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: But if we're talking about blow it up, you're not 948 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: just trading Dak Prescott, you're trading CD, You're trading Micah. 949 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: You're trying to get as min draphics as possible because 950 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: you're trying to blow it up. That's what I'm I'm saying. 951 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Just get It's the same point you just made about 952 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: the head coach. Yeah, if the head coach goes somewhere, 953 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean Dak, CD and Micah are following. Just 954 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: because your quarterback goes somewhere doesn't mean CD, Micah your 955 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: head coach are following. Like it's just one specific move, right, 956 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: if you decide to do it all, then it might 957 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: be a window of two to three or four years. 958 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 8: I just meant, I guess with the quarterback as a 959 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 8: bigger that's the move that would blow things up because 960 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 8: it would be a quarterback driven league. That's the thing 961 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 8: that whatever organization you look at successful and not, the 962 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 8: quarterback position is the biggest barometer of why that team 963 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 8: did or didn't have success, you know, And and I 964 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 8: think Dak Prescott is a great barometer, just like Tony 965 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 8: Rummel was of the Dallas Cowboys. Very good. Can't get 966 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 8: it done in January. That doesn't mean that they're bad. 967 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,959 Speaker 8: That doesn't mean that there's not a ninety nine percent 968 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 8: of the teams in the league when one have that player. 969 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 8: But it just they haven't been able to get it 970 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 8: done in January. But they're obviously very good. I mean, 971 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 8: this isn't just a Jerry Jones thing with Dak Prescott. 972 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 8: Most people that know the NFL that are way smarter 973 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 8: than any of us, would think the Cowboys are crazy 974 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 8: to move on from Dak Prescott, you know. And I 975 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 8: get that fans are frustrated and because the team hasn't 976 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 8: had that success in January, but I don't see the 977 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 8: team moving on because there's a way greater chance that 978 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 8: you make it so much worse. And when I say 979 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 8: so much worse, it's not just like oh next year, 980 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 8: like I'm talking like for the next ten years. 981 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 5: Yep. 982 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 8: Than if you keep trying to find ways to put 983 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 8: pieces around Dak and then finally, you know, get over 984 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 8: the hump and maybe get hot in January. 985 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 5: Well, and this is all great conversation as well. 986 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: But even if let's say Dak does say yes to 987 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: a deal, he does agree and he lifts the no 988 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: trade clause to go somewhere, what situation is he doing 989 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: that for? Because it's going to be a situation that 990 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 1: doesn't need a quarterback, because it's going to take some 991 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: draft capital. It's going to take a lot of a 992 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 1: hole to get him out of Dallas in the first place. 993 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: Plus they're gonna have to make the room from a 994 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: cap standpoint too. What situation is he going to go 995 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: to and say, okay, I'll maybe sign off. 996 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 8: Okay, Well, he's got to agree to this first of all, exactly, 997 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 8: So he isn't agreeing to this on Jerry just sitting 998 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 8: there mentioning it to him, you know, and passing that's 999 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 8: obviously a sit down meeting. Yeah, and you know how 1000 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 8: pissed off Dak Prescott would be if you sat down 1001 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 8: and said that, hey, we're going to trade you. So 1002 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 8: there's a lot of teams that he'd be like, oh, oh, 1003 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 8: you guys think I'm the problem. Uh okay, Yeah, I 1004 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 8: bet you. There'd be five or six teams and they 1005 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 8: would be able to get something done, and you probably 1006 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 8: see Dak Prescott play really well that next season for whatever. 1007 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,479 Speaker 8: So I don't see that happen. 1008 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 5: It's just it's a not a chance in the world. 1009 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 5: I was gonna say a minuscule chance. I don't think 1010 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 5: there's a single option for Dak to be traded here. 1011 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott's going to be here for a while. 1012 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, Buckley, buckle, buckle up. 1013 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,280 Speaker 1: All right, that does it for us.
