Here um technical difficulties. Players Lounge 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.480 brought to you by Hotels dot Com Game Week, Los Angeles. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.880 Rams Here, Barry, My big concern is your area of expertise, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.959 and that's the Cowboys secondary. They are not one hundred percent. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.480 Jerry Jones did say today, I want to find three 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.679 the fan that he expected Xavier Woods to be there. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.000 Of Jordan Lewis, we don't know. Mike. Milt Nolan was 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.480 kind of He didn't give us much. McCarthy never gives 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.320 us anything, but I do want to play. This is 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.240 some sound from Mike Nolan yesterday. The Cowboys defensive coordinator, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.120 and here he is talking about his injuries to the 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.760 secondary and what he's comfortable with going into this game. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.760 Week from the Rams, here's Mike Nolan. Well, there's still 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.480 some questions unanswered today, but they'll be answered by the 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.720 end of the week. But I believe we'll get we'll 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:32.880 get it. You know, we'll get a few of the 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.080 guys back. But it has been a little bit of 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.680 a struggle along the way we had you know, has 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.200 had to move some guys around. But I think in 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:40.720 the end it actually I'll help us because we had 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.000 an opportunity to play some guys at some different positions 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.920 that we were hoping to when we started out, but 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.280 not really knowing if we'd be given the chance, and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.920 as it turned out, we were. But hum again, as 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.800 the week goes along, we'll we'll make some decisions as 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.800 far as you know, who's going to actually line up 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:06.440 where when the game begins. Oh okay, so Church, take 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.760 me through the coach speak of what Mike Nolan said. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.480 Break that down for me in terms of what we 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.080 should expect and how healthier guys right now in your opinion, well, well, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.000 in my opinion from hearing coach talk right there. It's 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.360 basically he's saying that what they have in their secondary 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.440 is a couple of soft soft injury tissue injuries. It 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.560 doesn't seem like it's a big catastrophic injuries that will 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.960 have these guys out for a long period of time. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.239 But what he is saying is that this first game 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.680 there might be some guys in positions that you aren't 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.560 a customly seeing. I mean, they drafted Robinson as a 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.040 corner and he might mess around and play safety at 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.880 or the safety this Sunday. So he's saying that there's 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.960 a couple of injuries here and there, but with the 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.279 flex they have in their secondary, a lot of those 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.159 guys can play multiple positions safety, corner and nickel. That 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.320 they'll be able. They'll be able to work out just fine, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.400 I believe. But the concern for me is if they 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.440 do not get Jordan Lewis back in his line up. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.440 I know we have Anthony Brown in there, but I 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.440 just think Jordan Lewis is their best guy in the 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.200 secondary right now. He's a short tackler at that nickel, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.320 he's great in the run support, and he can blitz 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.039 as well, and his greatest attribute is getting the football 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.360 and taking the ball away. So I'm kind of worried 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.280 about that if he's not able to play this Sunday. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.080 But from the sounds of it, it sounds like he 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.800 could be a questionable decision going into it. Hopefully he's 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.280 able to go because this secondary will need him going forward. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.159 But Craig, did we have you back? Baby? I sure 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:31.520 hope so. Can y'all hear me? Yeah, we can hear you? Well? Yeah, Well, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.240 just to pick it back off of what Church said, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.039 that Jordan Lewis injury to me is a really big 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.279 issue because if I think back to last year, I 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.360 think one of his best games was against the Rams. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.480 I think he ran around the field and covered pretty 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.560 much anybody that was in that slot area and made 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:51.239 some big plays. And they will need him this game 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.159 for that. And like Church said, we'll be seeing some 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.279 guys play some positions that they hadn't played before, but 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.560 putting faith in the defensive coordinator to call some plays 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.640 that will still have those guys doing the things that 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.680 they normally do, right, so you'll call it cover one 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.080 and have a guy still covering, versus having a cornerback 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.040 coming down and trying to feel like A, A, B 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.800 or C gaps, So you know, just putting trust in 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.800 him and hoping that he has a true plan if 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.720 he has to go to some guys that aren't used 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.440 to plan safety are playing corner and he has some 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.880 in the works for them to be successful. Okay, just 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.799 based on what we've seen so far, who guards Robert Woods, 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.640 who's checking Robert Woods, who's checking Cooper Cup, And who's 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.680 checking the rookie bad Jefferson who they're very high on 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:43.520 out in Los Angeles. For me, I mean, if Jordan 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.599 Lewis is healthy, I'm putting him on Cooper Cup in 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.960 the slot, because Cooper Cup, I mean that's where he 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.120 did a lot of his damage last year was in 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.440 the slot, being able to take advantage of nickels or 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.040 safeties or linebackers in zone. So I'm putting Jordan Lewis 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.680 on Cooper Cup, the receiver, the rookie see you're talking 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.040 about out there, and who the Rams are very high on. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.680 If Tabon Dins cracks this starting lineup, I'm throwing him 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.920 on him all day. I mean, Tabon dis is long, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.320 he can run with anybody. He's great, impressed a man 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.880 and man coverage. So if I'm if I'm putting anybody 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.560 on him, I'm putting him on there and say, rookie, 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.800 have a nice day. Lock him down. The rest of 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.680 the rest of the guys I think can be Robert 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.040 Woods and they're tight end Higbee I think can be 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.600 easily locked down. So those two are the main ones 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.880 that concern me. But I think we have the talent 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.920 and the secondary to be able to contain all of that. Oh, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.000 I gotta go opposite of you on that one, man, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.000 I got okay, I go. I gotta put our best 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.400 corner player on Robert Woods. And this is specifically because 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.840 I don't believe in Jared Golf to be able to 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.720 go through his reads and get to the third receiver. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.000 So if you lock down Robert Woods, you take away 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.200 Cooper Cup. He's going to have a hard time getting 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.080 a third read. Especially with what we expect to see 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.960 from our defensive line up this year, he should not 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.640 have enough time to get to the third read. Lockdown 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.800 the first two. And what we've seen from Jared Golf 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.680 is he authority or he would take a set, and 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.760 that is exactly what we need for this game. Let 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.720 me ask you, guys, this is former players. Do you 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.520 take any account of what happened last year when these 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.040 two teams played out of Jerry World December fifteenth, it 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:21.000 was a forty four twenty one Cowboy drubbing of the Ramps, Dan, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.360 absolutely not. The only thing that you take into accounts 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.240 who the quarterback is, the game is the game, and 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.199 last year is last year, and even from this season 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.400 game two, whoever you played for the division in the 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.440 first game, they will not be the same team in 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.319 the second game. So you can barely even look to 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.280 what happened within your division. So you definitely can't look 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.559 to what happened last year. These teams will be totally different. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.640 They might come in with totally different games, totally different personnel, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.920 So I wouldn't bank on any of that. For me, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.640 I gotta disagree with you a little bit there, Danny. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.800 I think this this going from last year. They blew 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.400 this team out. I forget what you said, the score 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.400 was forty two to something, but they blew this team out. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.360 And I think that's why I think this is a 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.079 must win for this Cowboys organization. I mean, you got 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.240 a new coaching staff coming in, you got all this 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.840 hyped up talent, coming in on offense, on defense, you 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.160 added a couple of guy pieces here and there. So 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.320 I think this is a must win for the confidence boosts. Now, 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.400 if you go out there and you lose against an 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.360 LA team that lost Gurley had offensive line troubles, I mean, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.920 they got two receivers out there, Cup and Robert Woods, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.640 but none of those guys are blowing off the top 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.320 of your defense. Now, if you go out there and 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.480 lose that game, I think that's an extreme stream confidence 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.320 deflator for the season coming up. So I just think 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:39.960 this is a must win, which I do think they'll 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.160 blow this team out, by the way. I think it's 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.480 a must win. But do you think that they can 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.000 look at what they were able to accomplish last year 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.920 and kind of put some work into that this year 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.800 and say, since we blew them out last year, we 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.199 probably we probably should do the same thing this year now, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.800 just because you know, you mean, they're coming in with 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.120 a totally different new scheme, new coaches and stuff. So 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.920 I guess they can't really build upon what they did 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.920 last year. But I know for sure they better not 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.840 go out there and lose on Sunday night today. I 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.000 would say if that's the case. You know, whenever we 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.520 played the Jests, they could just look back and be 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.600 like liquid we could beat the Cowboy because we put 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.360 the work in on them last year or the year 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.880 whatever should we played in previous That's true. That's true. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.000 So Church that final was forty four twenty one. I 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.040 went back and just checking the stats here, Todd Gurley 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.280 had eleven carries for just twenty yards in that game. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.760 Tyler Hickbee the tight end at twelve catches one hundred 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.280 and eleven yards in the game. Brandon Cooks four catches 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.120 forty six yards, Cooper Cup six sketches forty one yards, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.920 and Robert Woods had four catches for seventeen yards in 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.400 that football game. So the defense did pretty well. Dak 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.439 Prescott in that game with two touchdown passes, Tony Pollard 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.200 and Zeke both went over one hundred yards. Tony one 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.600 thirty one on the ground and a touchdown on twelve carries. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.240 Zeke with twenty four carries one hundred seventeen yards and 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.040 two touchdown. And I bring this up from this standpoint. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.560 Remember how La dragged the Cowboys in the playoffs and 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.360 they had two one hundred yards and I felt like 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.240 they hadn't forgot it and that game had happened you 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.960 actually within that calendar year out of the LA College 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.040 sum and it was payback for the Cowboys. So that's 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.240 why I just kind of wonder, is there any way 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.559 we could kind of look at is there any flow 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.760 you carry over into this game from from last year, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.960 just knowing the Cowboys had not forgotten what happened to 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.400 them in the playoffs. My pink, let me tell you something. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.480 The Rounds were not playing well last season, and the 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.160 Cowboys actually weren't playing well either. So I just don't 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.000 see that being the case, especially especially Game one. I 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.400 think this is this is a whole new, whole new thing. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.520 Everybody's watched all that the way, and we'll get to 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.800 see what these two teams are week one. I don't 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.520 think it'll be anything like it was last year. And 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.720 I really don't think that it'll be payback or anything 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.760 like that. They both teams know they didn't play well 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.640 last year and they're looking for a new first start, 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.720 all right, So let's stay with the Cowboys secondary here. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.360 So the fact that they have injuries going on, the 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.240 Cowboys decided to go bring back a familiar face. That's 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.960 Brandon Car. Once signed a fifty million dollar contract with 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.240 the Cowboys, and he's after leaving the Cowboys, they let 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.360 him go. He went to Baltimore and he's had a 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.200 very good career and it had a good career up 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.440 there in Baltimore, but nobody picked him up. He's on 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.800 their practice squad. Now here's Mike Nolan talking about the 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.920 benefits and what he likes about having Brandon car in 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.040 the Cowboy organization. Well, obviously he's an experienced player. He's 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.720 played both at the corner for a long time, but 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.360 also at safety when he was at Baltimore, So he's 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.360 got some versatility. You know, we're trying to improve our 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.440 depth on the back end and and I think he 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.240 adds to that depth. So you know, like I said, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.480 his experience in versatility would be the two things I 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:45.360 liked the most. Church. So your thoughts, Brandon Car. He's here. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.840 A lot of Cowboy fans upset, a lot of Cowboy fans. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:53.040 I'm saying they want Earl Thomas, but you've got Brandon. Look, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.760 I mean, you know Cowboys fans, I mean they get 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.560 upset about a lot of things, but this is the 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.200 one that they shouldn't be upset about. This is a 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.920 guy that's coming in and he's the ultimate professional. And 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.559 I'm talking about Brandon Carr. I mean this guy, he 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.679 hasn't he hasn't missed a game since he entered the league. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.600 This guy is durable, and he's on and off the field. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.480 He's the ultimate professional. He goes out there and does 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.080 what he has to do. He's not this you know, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.880 rad Rod screaming all over the type place type leader. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.719 He's a lead back, example type guy. And this is 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.360 a young secondary that can use that type of leadership 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.400 going into each and every game. He can show you 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.439 how to prepare for games. He can show you how 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.480 to be a professional on and off all the off 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.800 the field. So I think this is an extremely good 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.400 pickup for the Cowboys. He's versatile, like they said, he 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.760 can play safety and he can play corner and he's 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.400 played nickel in Baltimore, so he can do all those things. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.040 He's durable, and I just think this is an excellent 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:49.360 pickup by the Cowboys. Yeah, same here, same here. I 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.760 just um, I know a lot of people are like 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.599 falling into the trap and thinking that he's going to 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.880 be you know, the like a strictly a safety and 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.839 just listening to the coach talk right there, I think 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.839 that they're looking at him as owner and they're happy 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.960 that he would be able to play safety as well, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.000 which kind of puts up a little red flag for 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.800 me that you know, they believe that they need a 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.840 little corner help, especially with these soft tissue injuries. But 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.520 I've seen Brandon Carr play. I saw him play last year, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.560 I saw him play the year before. He still has 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.079 a lot of the tank, and I wouldn't be surprised 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.600 if he came in it took one of those starting 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.320 cornerback jobs sometime throughout the season. I just I would 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.440 not be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised either. I mean 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.760 the way he goes about his business and just his technique, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.680 it's flawless. So I mean, he might not be the 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.440 fastest four two corner in the world, but his technique 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.680 allows him to stay on top of receivers by jamming 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.480 him at the line. I mean, he knows all the 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.280 tricks of the trade. So, like you said, d Mac, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.120 I wouldn't be surprised if he came in here and 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.920 cracked and started line up eventually during this season, Brandon 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.400 Carr did a lot of winning when he was up 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.480 there at Baltiward. Now there is another player who's no 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.480 longer with the Ravens that the Cowboys, especially Cowboy fans, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.400 have had interest in. We won't let you hear what 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.760 the defensive coordinator had to say about Earl Thomas. I'll 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.560 tell you what Jerry Jones had to say about Earl 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.800 Thomas day and also how Jerry Jones says the Mike 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.040 McCarthy team will be different than a Jason Garrett led 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.560 Cowboys team.

You got to talk about this 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:35.840 bet that I lost every show. But that's okay, that's okay. Um. Now, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.000 Brandon cars In Cowboy fans are mad. All they want 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.399 to talk about is look at that catch you had 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.040 against Odell Beckham Junior. They want Earl Thomas. I asked 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.040 Mike Nolan about Earl Thomas yesterday and listen to the 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.960 response from the defensive coordinate. I have not had any 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:55.080 conversations with Jerry or any of them about it. You know, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.040 when it becomes serious and then maybe there'd be a conversation, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.320 But from as far is including me, thus far, I 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:09.760 have not. Okay, so he's not. He's sitting here saying 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.639 I hadn't talked to anybody all. Now. It seems to 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:16.280 me if Mike Nolan was really concerned about Hey, man, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.479 I got issues with this defense back Yakee bro We're 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.199 bringing a Pro Bowl guy. Man. Let me go do that. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.920 He's not saying that at all. So Church, we had 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.320 Jerry Jones today not totally shoot it down, but he's 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.000 not sitting up here waving the flag for Earl Thomas either. 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.679 Then we had Isaiah standback earlier on one of our 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.919 Cup podcasts, former Cowboys say he expects Earl Thomas to 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.879 be a cowboy on Monday. So I'm gonna start with you, Danny, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.720 where is this Earl Thomas thing in your mind? I'm 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.720 just confused on you know, if he's gonna pick up 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.720 Earl Thomas, why did not pick him up this Monday? 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.320 I mean, you know, I don't get that. I don't 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.480 get that take. But you know whatever, you have to 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.399 guarantee a salady, that's why. Because you don't have to 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.320 guarantee the same if he's on the roster week one, 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.080 you gotta guarantee the whole, the whole salade for the 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.560 rest of the year. About I still don't see it happen. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.080 You picked up a Brandon Car, what you gonna do 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.399 the same thing? Pick up a player, but cars on 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.360
