Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
Speaker 4: This he's Talking Cowboys Straining live from.
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys World.
Speaker 5: Head hours at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 6: TUO six second plus dot Kid Say Teddy point touchdown.
Speaker 2: And now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 2: and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 3: It's a Talking Tuesday edition of Talking Cowboys, presented by
Speaker 3: a Black Rifle Coffee Company, live from the Star in Frisco, Texas,
Speaker 3: in the SWBC studios.
Speaker 5: Welcome in, everybody. We've got a Talking Tuesday eight eight
Speaker 5: eight eight five five two two nine seven.
Speaker 3: My question going into the day was going to be
Speaker 3: should Cowboys be buyers or sellers in.
Speaker 5: Today's trade deadline?
Speaker 3: Well, as of a couple moments ago, it appears we've
Speaker 3: found out at least semi directional minutes ago, literally as
Speaker 3: we were in the studio this breaks. I mean Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones on one to five three, the fan. We've got
Speaker 3: Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Roderiguez, Chrispian. By the way, I'm
Speaker 3: Kyle Yeomans, Jerry Jones on one to five three, the Fan,
Speaker 3: the flagship station for your Dallas Cowboys said we're trading
Speaker 3: for a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: That's what he said.
Speaker 3: He said it, and then since then, multiple reports have
Speaker 3: now surfaced that the Cowboys have traded with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 7: Yes, so that's the breaking news coming in. Jerry set
Speaker 7: it up in a few minutes after he hung up
Speaker 7: with one five three the Fan. The deal was being
Speaker 7: reported by multiple outlets. Tom Pellicero of NFL Network and
Speaker 7: Ian Rappaport breaking the initial news. Jonathan Mingle is reportedly
Speaker 7: headed to Dallas from Charlotte. Jonathan Mingle will be accompanied
Speaker 7: in his carry on with a twenty twenty five seventh
Speaker 7: round pick that the Panthers are also included in the package,
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys are set to send a twenty twenty
Speaker 7: five fourth round pick in exchange for that package.
Speaker 1: And that's where we are right now.
Speaker 7: That ties into the news that as we have a
Speaker 7: wide receiver coming in to hopefully help the Cowboys offense,
Speaker 7: they're losing their franchise quarterback for a minimum of four games.
Speaker 7: That Prescott is likely to head two injured reserve per
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones, which means he will not be eligible to
Speaker 7: return until December ninth at the earliest, which is versus
Speaker 7: the Cincinnati Bengals. And we've already talked about this four
Speaker 7: game gauntlet that they're about to go up against. Per
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy, he was unequivocal in what the QB rotation
Speaker 7: will be against Philly and going forward it will be
Speaker 7: Cooper Rush as the starter. Trey Lance is going to
Speaker 7: be your number two. So a lot of moving pieces
Speaker 7: there for the Cowboys offense heading into Week ten.
Speaker 3: So just to clean it all up, Jonathan Mingo and
Speaker 3: the seventh router rounder coming from Carolina to Dallas, and
Speaker 3: you exchange a fourth round pick for that, so you
Speaker 3: basically pick swap a fourth and seventh round pick. That's
Speaker 3: not an easy pick swamp, but you get Jonathan Mingo, who,
Speaker 3: as he walks in the building today and the current
Speaker 3: state of this Dallas Cowboys roster will be your wide
Speaker 3: receiver two.
Speaker 5: That is what you just traded for as a wide
Speaker 5: receiver two, a future wide receiver too as well, young
Speaker 5: wide receiver two.
Speaker 7: Yes, well, he's contractually speaking for those that are wondering,
Speaker 7: and I know you are because you love the science
Speaker 7: like we. So this is a young man who's still
Speaker 7: on his rookie deal. This is only the second year
Speaker 7: of his rookie deal, so he's contracted through twenty twenty six. Shit,
Speaker 7: the Cowboys keep him throughout the rest of that deal.
Speaker 7: So this is you talk about Brandon Cooks, who is
Speaker 7: eligible to see his twenty one day window activated on
Speaker 7: tomorrow Wednesday's practice. But Brandon Cooks is an unrestricted free
Speaker 7: agent after this season. Trading for Jonathan Mingo, you guarantee
Speaker 7: the WR two situation opposite Ceede Lamb beyond January, February
Speaker 7: or December, whenever this season ends.
Speaker 8: Yeah, when we were talking about it, we were talking
Speaker 8: about a potential trade at wide receiver a few weeks back,
Speaker 8: when we were still sort of.
Speaker 5: That was the one you wanted to do.
Speaker 8: That was the one that I wanted to do because
Speaker 8: even with Brandon Cooks in the mix, I felt like
Speaker 8: a wide receiver, an actual clear cut wide receiver to
Speaker 8: an actual threat on the outside, gives you a chance
Speaker 8: and we'll be able to open up the run. I think,
Speaker 8: at least for now. You look at Rico doing good
Speaker 8: things behind this line. He was averaging over six yards
Speaker 8: of carry last week, even though it resulted in a loss.
Speaker 8: I think they're starting to find some footing in the
Speaker 8: running game. Now that you have an actual threat on
Speaker 8: the outside, it opens it up even more.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I like the trade.
Speaker 8: Maybe a little too rich for my taste, sure, but ultimately,
Speaker 8: like Patrick said, you have him under contract until twenty
Speaker 8: twenty six, So now.
Speaker 5: That is your clear cut wide receiver too, Yeah, clear cut.
Speaker 3: He was a twenty twenty three second round pick, and
Speaker 3: I went back into my notes, I had a fourth
Speaker 3: round grade on him. So they went a little bit high.
Speaker 3: Carolina did in drafting him in the second round, but
Speaker 3: there were a lot.
Speaker 5: Of individuals around the league that had him as a.
Speaker 1: Top sixty player.
Speaker 5: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I had him where'd I have him at overall? I
Speaker 3: had him at one twenty four overall in that draft class,
Speaker 3: which I guess now hindsight site twenty twenty he was
Speaker 3: on a bad football team, but I think one twenty
Speaker 3: four in a fourth round grade was.
Speaker 5: Right around where I would have valued.
Speaker 3: Jonathan Mingo and what he's done so far in the
Speaker 3: NFL forty three receptions, four hundred and eighteen yards. He
Speaker 3: did not have a single touchdown his rookie year, then
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. This year, as a twenty three
Speaker 3: year old, he has twelve receptions one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: one yards and no touchdowns as well, He's yet to
Speaker 3: catch a touchdown pass in the NFL during a regular
Speaker 3: season game. So, like I said, that's a bad football team.
Speaker 3: That is a bad offense. And he kind of got
Speaker 3: buried in the depth chart because they went out and
Speaker 3: grabbed guys like Adam Thielen. And there's another name there
Speaker 3: in Carolina that I'm blanking on currently. But there are
Speaker 3: bad football teams who really cares. The thing about Jonathan
Speaker 3: Mingo is that he does present a steady hand in
Speaker 3: terms of the wide receiver position that.
Speaker 5: You haven't necessarily had without Brandon Cooks in the fold.
Speaker 7: Correct, But here's my problem with it, And I think
Speaker 7: Mingo has potential. Two things are true. I believe he
Speaker 7: has potential. I believe this is too rich for my blood,
Speaker 7: A great on the fourth round pick. I believe this
Speaker 7: is an overpay. And I believe this is an overpaid
Speaker 7: driven by a sense of desperation, whether the front office
Speaker 7: will admit it or not. Because you're three and five,
Speaker 7: you're coming off your third consecutive loss. You haven't won
Speaker 7: a home and now your next home game is against
Speaker 7: the Philadelphia Eagles. You're heading into this four game gauntlet.
Speaker 7: You lose, well, you might lose wide receiver one. He's
Speaker 7: likely to play, but he's not healthy at all. He's
Speaker 7: far below healthy. And then Dak Prescott, you lose your
Speaker 7: franchise quarterback for minimum four games. Things just spiraling, right,
Speaker 7: So I think the Panthers knew that, and Panthers said, hey,
Speaker 7: you're going to have to overpay if you want to
Speaker 7: get Jonathan Mingo. So again, the potential is there when
Speaker 7: you look at you know what he was unable to do.
Speaker 1: And like you said, Kyle, it's your accurate.
Speaker 7: The Panthers are a bad team and they were a
Speaker 7: bad offense. The Cowboys right now are a bad team
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Have a bad offense.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, okay, So you're giving up a fourth round
Speaker 7: pick for a guy to take a shot on it.
Speaker 7: You had to take a shot on the guy who's
Speaker 7: who wasn't able to produce on a bad offense, which
Speaker 7: and I say that because he has to be thrown
Speaker 7: the ball by quality quarterback and things have to happen.
Speaker 5: He is one of those there, which is or here,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 1: Nice, which is fair.
Speaker 8: In Carolina is up for debate, right and say that.
Speaker 7: To say kind of segue back to what I said yesterday,
Speaker 7: which was and this is again, this is not a
Speaker 7: shot at Mango. Again, I believe he has potential. But
Speaker 7: even if this was a blockbuster trade, the blockbuster trade
Speaker 7: doesn't fix nearly as many issues as you need repaired
Speaker 7: in order for the season to get back on track.
Speaker 7: So where you're going to need is Jonathan Mingo or
Speaker 7: someone you know of a higher caliber. And then you're
Speaker 7: still going to need to fix the penalties, and you're
Speaker 7: still going to need to fix your red zone issues,
Speaker 7: and you're still going to need to fix your takeaway
Speaker 7: issues or your lack of takeaways on defense, and you
Speaker 7: need to fix your mistackles, and you need to fix
Speaker 7: your execution, and you need to fix some of the
Speaker 7: play calling.
Speaker 1: So all of this needs to be fixed.
Speaker 7: So when Jerry Jones told one O five three to
Speaker 7: the fan this morning that the move before the news
Speaker 7: came up, the move, that it would be a receiver
Speaker 7: and maybe like quote unquote, a storybook type move, we
Speaker 7: read two different types of storybooks because this, this is
Speaker 7: a move, it's a quality move. I agree with the move,
Speaker 7: I disagree with the compensation for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm there with you.
Speaker 1: But even on its face, this doesn't hit storybook for me.
Speaker 7: Now, the Cowboys still have until three pm Central time
Speaker 7: for today's deadline to make an additional movie that maybe fits.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're traded for another Witers maybe, But it just
Speaker 3: gave it a fourth So now what are you giving them?
Speaker 1: You see what I mean?
Speaker 7: So also, they're kind of passing out fourth run like
Speaker 7: and I get it compensatory formula as well, so they're
Speaker 7: banking on getting some of these back. So that's in
Speaker 7: the mix as well. It's it's more chess than Checkers.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean, I'm I don't have a problem
Speaker 7: fourth too. Yeah, I don't have a problem with the move.
Speaker 7: I do have a problem with the compensation. But yeah,
Speaker 7: like you said, Caw, this is also a future move.
Speaker 7: This is a future proof move.
Speaker 8: It solidifies the wide receiver corps for the next couple
Speaker 8: of years at least, and especially with the you know,
Speaker 8: you have Kvante Turpin out there. Who's I mean, just
Speaker 8: the wide receiver corps that you have. I mean, there
Speaker 8: are deficiencies. There obviously deficiencies in the run blocking deficiencies
Speaker 8: and you know, uh, receiving, actually catching the ball downfield.
Speaker 8: I think some players are playing out of play, out
Speaker 8: of position at the moment, and at least you solidify
Speaker 8: that wide receiver too. Yet again, just to reiterate that point,
Speaker 8: I think it's a solid move, too.
Speaker 4: Rich.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not the twenty eighteen Cowboys at three
Speaker 3: and four going into Monday Football against the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 3: and trading for Amri Cooper.
Speaker 1: That's not what this is.
Speaker 3: This is a let's give this guy who's twenty three
Speaker 3: years old, who was a second round pick out of
Speaker 3: Ole miss give him a shot to find his footing
Speaker 3: in Dallas as opposed to elsewhere. Because Carolina is selling pieces.
Speaker 3: They're gonna they're going to continue to be bad for.
Speaker 5: The for the foreseeable future, and they're going to sell
Speaker 5: some of their their.
Speaker 3: High end pieces as the years go along and continue
Speaker 3: to try and stack up draft picks. So Dallas looks
Speaker 3: at it and says, hey, we're going to try and
Speaker 3: pick swap. We've got a seventh coming back here. But
Speaker 3: if it was a fifth, I think I would be
Speaker 3: a little bit exciting, indeed more because if we're talking
Speaker 3: middle day two picks, you're trying to set up a
Speaker 3: wide receiver two on your roster for the future by
Speaker 3: all means, all right, sounds good, but a fourth round
Speaker 3: pick is a premium.
Speaker 1: Pick, Jonathan Mingo, So that that's where I get.
Speaker 5: Stuck, and I get it. There's probably some.
Speaker 8: Some who's drafting the fourth round for those I.
Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, there's some some pause on who's cow How
Speaker 3: the Cowboys use that fourth round pick in the past.
Speaker 3: How have they used it in the past. Well, they
Speaker 3: used it last year on Trey Lance. A couple of
Speaker 3: years prior, they used it on Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 1: And the Tree Lance thing. Do you see what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're throwing it out there a couple of different times.
Speaker 3: So they obviously don't have a huge respect for that
Speaker 3: fourth round pick, and they're gonna go try and find
Speaker 3: a wide receiver too if you had.
Speaker 8: You're counting on compicks though, to be fair, absolutely depends who,
Speaker 8: depends where they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, My thought process is which that you won't have
Speaker 3: a fourth round picked.
Speaker 1: It's difficult to get I mean, the fourth round cap.
Speaker 5: That's a high compa. That's the Yeah, maybe Tyrone Smith.
Speaker 7: Maybe No, I don't think he's Yeah, his deal is not.
Speaker 5: Big enough for I didn't think so either. Yeah, trying
Speaker 5: to think of who even would be there. I don't
Speaker 5: think they have one.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 3: But my thought process is, if you're going into April's
Speaker 3: draft and we're on the draft show and we're talking
Speaker 3: about it and there's not a move made today and
Speaker 3: you have that fourth round.
Speaker 5: Pick, would you be okay using that fourth round pick
Speaker 5: to get your wide receiver too?
Speaker 7: And that that's an excellent way of framing it, because
Speaker 7: that's basically they're looking at it.
Speaker 5: And that's how they're looking.
Speaker 7: Because they have several years left on this particular deal. Now,
Speaker 7: the caveat is is you don't have four years of Mingo,
Speaker 7: you have two and a half. But the framing is correct.
Speaker 3: And you have the film of him being in the
Speaker 3: NFL seeing what he can do. So I feel confident
Speaker 3: in them saying, hey, we've seen something that we feel
Speaker 3: like we can bring out of this guy and we
Speaker 3: can put him in a decent offense.
Speaker 5: Of course, there's a lot to work on in this offense.
Speaker 3: But when Dak Prescott comes back, Jonathan Mingo is going
Speaker 3: to benefit significantly over guys like Bryce Young. And I mean,
Speaker 3: the last time the Cowboys were missing maybe Cooper Rush
Speaker 3: and Dak Prescott, you had Andy Dolton back there.
Speaker 7: Too, But maybe maybe he benefits greatly. And I say
Speaker 7: that because let's just shoot it straight. Before Dak went down,
Speaker 7: the offense was strug The offense was struggling in the
Speaker 7: red zone. They were not struggling to move the ball.
Speaker 7: They could move the ball, but once they got to
Speaker 7: the opponent's thirty and then the red zone, things the
Speaker 7: wheels will fall off. Okay, they are struggling with chunk
Speaker 7: plays mightily.
Speaker 1: They could not. They cannot get chunk plays.
Speaker 8: Even when the ball was in the right right.
Speaker 7: Defenses are playing too high safety because they're basically daring
Speaker 7: CD Lamb to right. So now ceede Lamb. He's battling
Speaker 7: the spring to the ac joint. We'll see how he feels,
Speaker 7: you know, by the time Dak gets back. But CD
Speaker 7: apparently isn't taking any time to rest. So how can
Speaker 7: you heal if you're still getting hit on that shoulder?
Speaker 7: So CD might not be one hundred percent when Dak
Speaker 7: comes back that will need to work his way back.
Speaker 7: It'll be December. What will the record be at that point?
Speaker 7: Can Cooper rush stave off? You know, a possible three
Speaker 7: or four game losing streak on addition to the three,
Speaker 7: which makes it a six or seven game losing streak.
Speaker 7: All these things have to come together and be perfect
Speaker 7: so that when Manko comes back. Schematically, things have to
Speaker 7: be better. Execution has to be better in order for
Speaker 7: the offense to take off, for it to matter this year. Yes,
Speaker 7: that mingle is here, because otherwise we're talking about it
Speaker 7: mattering for next year.
Speaker 3: I don't think this is a this year man and
Speaker 3: that that is exactly and which is why I don't
Speaker 3: want to give up a fourth round pick for it.
Speaker 5: That's that's where the conversation.
Speaker 3: That's where the conversation as I have a problem with
Speaker 3: what they gave up. And now, like I said, if
Speaker 3: you frame it in the context of in the next
Speaker 3: two years you have a wide receiver two and you
Speaker 3: use the fourth round pick to get there, great, But
Speaker 3: if you're talking about future potential and you're talking about
Speaker 3: a guy who's young like that, I would rather do
Speaker 3: a fifth round pick and a pick swap. With my
Speaker 3: seventh at least you still have the same number of
Speaker 3: darts to throw at the dark board because you flip picks.
Speaker 3: But a fourth round pick is that's that's a heavy
Speaker 3: price to ye for a guy who's probably not going
Speaker 3: to be a game changer in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8: Specifically, he's great a ninetieth out of ninety one wide receivers.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take our first pick.
Speaker 3: No, we are going to take our first break because
Speaker 3: I do want to talk to Cowboys nation eight eight
Speaker 3: eight eight five two two nine seven. The Cowboys trade
Speaker 3: for Jonathan Mingo. Do you want them to sell at
Speaker 3: the deadline too? If we we knock this one off
Speaker 3: as a future compensation move.
Speaker 5: This is something for the future.
Speaker 3: Would you rather the Cowboys be buyers or sellers at
Speaker 3: the trade deadline?
Speaker 5: When we come back with more talking Cowboys.

Speaker 5: Since eighteen seventy seven.
Speaker 3: Would you like to share with the class, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 3: which you just you just enlightened us too, And I
Speaker 3: think everybody probably has already looked at this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the dolls just want to put it on the airwaves, right.
Speaker 8: The Dallas Cowboys, uh gave more. I'm sorry, they paid
Speaker 8: more than they acquired.
Speaker 2: What what what?
Speaker 8: I completely botched it.
Speaker 7: They gave up more to they gave acquire Mangle than
Speaker 7: they acquired by sending the Mark Cooper to Cleveland.
Speaker 8: Gy put me on the spot and wait what did
Speaker 8: I it's the stage fright for me?
Speaker 1: Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 7: Literally just like I said, I just said it as
Speaker 7: the lights of the camera.
Speaker 3: Loving it up for Josh because he just said it
Speaker 3: like right before we went on air.
Speaker 5: I know, like wow, great love that. Yeah, this guy
Speaker 5: voted this morning in America. I'm glad we can still
Speaker 5: laugh that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cowboys acquire Jonathan Mingle for more draft capital than
Speaker 3: what they got in return from G. B.
Speaker 1: Cooper?
Speaker 5: Did you know great book?
Speaker 1: Did you know?
Speaker 9: Not?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 3: Both?
Speaker 1: The more you know? So yeah, yeah, out on the
Speaker 1: compensation for this one.
Speaker 7: This is just too rich. But let's see what the
Speaker 7: coupleys nation thinks about it.
Speaker 5: Eight eight eight eight five five.
Speaker 1: I know what they think about it.
Speaker 3: Two two nine seven eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 3: two two nine seven Talking Tuesday, Chris Beane, Do we
Speaker 3: have anybody on the line back there?
Speaker 1: Not yet?
Speaker 5: Not yet?
Speaker 8: Oh no, it is talking talking to.
Speaker 1: It is no man. No, we got a lot and
Speaker 1: say it with the chest when you come on in eight.
Speaker 5: Eight eight eight five five two two nine seven give
Speaker 5: us a call.
Speaker 3: But uh, but while we're waiting on the phone lines
Speaker 3: to start ringing, Uh, Patrick, you mentioned I R possibly
Speaker 3: for Dak. Were there any other takeaways from Jerry?
Speaker 7: Yes, as a matter of fact, it was so Dak
Speaker 7: likely hit it to IR and then you got CD
Speaker 7: likely to be available against the Eagles. Will see how
Speaker 7: things play out in practice. Ezekiel Elliott is also likely
Speaker 7: to be available versus the Eagles, per Jerry Jones to
Speaker 7: the fan, and we will see what that means, because
Speaker 7: being available and being active are two different things entirely.
Speaker 7: But what that statement does tell me and the rest
Speaker 7: of Cowboys Nation who were wondering, is that the future
Speaker 7: of Ezekiel Elliott as far as the remainder of this
Speaker 7: season appears to be in Dallas, right, So there was
Speaker 7: some people wondering if the team discipline situation would escalate
Speaker 7: to possibly a release in the two part ways again,
Speaker 7: but that does not seem to be the case at all.
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones are pretty much in locksteup
Speaker 7: as far as Ezekiel Elliott. Sounds like whatever conversations they
Speaker 7: had after that situation, everybody's back on the same page.
Speaker 7: So now the question for Zeke just becomes will will
Speaker 7: they make him active on Sunday? And if they do,
Speaker 7: does that mean Dalvin Cook is not elevated the third time?
Speaker 7: And if Dalvin Cook is and Zeke is active, Like,
Speaker 7: how do you work that? Because Rico Dwudle just showed
Speaker 7: you once again that he can produce at a strong
Speaker 7: level if you continue to give him the ball for momentum.
Speaker 7: So yeah, that was another big takeaway is Zeke is
Speaker 7: likely to be all set for Philly, good for the
Speaker 7: game against Philly, but we'll see if he if he's
Speaker 7: made inactive or.
Speaker 3: No good news he I mean, despite what has happened
Speaker 3: recently with Zeke.
Speaker 5: He's a legend in these uniforms.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a legend for the Cowboys, and what
Speaker 3: he's done throughout his career, you never want to see
Speaker 3: it in the way that it could have ended if
Speaker 3: they cut ties and keep him out and inactive and
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. So he's got a bit of
Speaker 3: a redemption opportunity this week, and I hope he takes
Speaker 3: advantage of it. And for again, I mean we've said
Speaker 3: it on these airways before. As much as we're analytical
Speaker 3: and we're critical of this team and their performance, it
Speaker 3: would be a lot better if they just played well.
Speaker 5: So I would love for Zeke to have some success.
Speaker 3: It would be so much more fun to cheer for
Speaker 3: Zeke as opposed to analyze what they can do elsewhere.
Speaker 7: Cowboys fans are really giving their feedback on Twitter right now,
Speaker 7: I'll tell you that, man, because.
Speaker 5: You know I'm not even on it right now.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm only just checking to see what the comings
Speaker 7: are for talking Cowboys so people know that they need
Speaker 7: and voice.
Speaker 3: Isaiah said he's trying to give a call in. By
Speaker 3: the way, we got we got a busy tone.
Speaker 5: Currently.
Speaker 7: Somebody asked which story book is it Lord of the Flies.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, let's I want to go through the comments section.
Speaker 5: Let's go to Nebby and Silver Spring, Maryland. Nebbe our guy,
Speaker 5: what's going on? Nebby?
Speaker 11: Uh uh uh uh uh Hi, guys, thank you so
Speaker 11: much for taking my call. I really appreciate it definitely. Uh, Kyle.
Speaker 11: I want to start off by saying, I want to
Speaker 11: thank you so much for the compliment you gave me
Speaker 11: last week when you said uh uh uh uh that
Speaker 11: I said this football team. Well, I really appreciate it,
Speaker 11: so thank you so much. And I also want to
Speaker 11: preach patients because I know our offensive line is struggling
Speaker 11: right now, but I'm really excited about and I am
Speaker 11: very high on these two guys. And that is our
Speaker 11: two rookies on our offensive line, Tyler Guidon and Cooper BB.
Speaker 11: And I'm especially excited about Cooper BB because he can
Speaker 11: just mall whoever is across from him. And I really
Speaker 11: hope that these two guys, but especially Cooper BB, I
Speaker 11: hope that they will be members of this Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 11: roster for a long long time. And one last quick
Speaker 11: thing before I go, and that is even though I
Speaker 11: know this is probably not going to happen. I would
Speaker 11: like to see more abduced fun on the field because,
Speaker 11: as I've said before in the past, I really think
Speaker 11: that to fight his lack of size, if you were
Speaker 11: to get fifteen touches a game, I really think that
Speaker 11: he would do really, really well for us. Take care,
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for being patient with me, and
Speaker 11: have a great week.
Speaker 3: By another great call, Navi. Appreciate you as always. Nebby's
Speaker 3: a true fan for real, and he does. He dissects
Speaker 3: the team. I meant what I said last week, and
Speaker 3: he says it again here. I am also very high
Speaker 3: on the rookies on this offensive line, and this offensive
Speaker 3: line is a problem. It's a It is not playing
Speaker 3: well right now. But it's not because of the rookies.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you a little secret. It's the guys
Speaker 3: on the right side of the line of scrimmage that happens.
Speaker 1: Because it's not a secret.
Speaker 5: That is not a secret, not anymore.
Speaker 11: It is.
Speaker 3: It's the guys you didn't expect to be struggling. Zach Martin,
Speaker 3: Terrence Steele, You're too big.
Speaker 5: Money guys up front. Neither one of them are playing.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to say adequate football. They're both
Speaker 3: being they're both bad right now.
Speaker 8: It's hurting the off film line bad.
Speaker 5: It's hurting the run game.
Speaker 8: It's hurting the offensive line, and and you're risking the
Speaker 8: health of Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: Obviously.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's disappointing to see. But hopefully they now
Speaker 8: that you have a little more solidified run game, I
Speaker 8: think that's going to improve. Not that finally had like,
Speaker 8: all right, this is the guy. Rico's the guy.
Speaker 7: The problem is you can't know that until you know
Speaker 7: that because Pittsburgh, he had a career day and then
Speaker 7: he was shelled Okay at the goal line. Fine, other
Speaker 7: than that, had a career day, Okay, then he was shelled.
Speaker 7: Now he has another great day, average just under seven
Speaker 7: yards per carry against the Falcons.
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and tell you that he'll be.
Speaker 7: Given the same number of handoffs when the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 7: come to town, because.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: There's this whole roller coaster of a ride with the
Speaker 7: running back by committee situation. And I see why Mike
Speaker 7: McCarthy doesn't, quote unquote he doesn't like it as a
Speaker 7: play caller because there's no you don't know who the
Speaker 7: guy is. Even if you know who the guy is,
Speaker 7: it's it's maddening.
Speaker 8: We all know who the guy is. Like at this point,
Speaker 8: what are we? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: That's a valid question.
Speaker 7: Now take that question and smear it all over.
Speaker 1: A man.
Speaker 5: Let's go to Dylan in north Port, Florida. Dylan, you're
Speaker 5: back on talking cowboys. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 12: Hey, you guys ask the question sellers or buyers the
Speaker 12: trade deadline? I'm self self sell all the way. I'm
Speaker 12: in pure evaluation mode at this point. To me, as
Speaker 12: a fan, I think the seasons just about over, you know.
Speaker 12: Putting on my GM cap, I want to evaluate these
Speaker 12: guys as much as possible to know, especially the young
Speaker 12: guys like a Deuce Fawn. I think this running back
Speaker 12: room is going to be gutt in next year. I
Speaker 12: understand that are our boys going to give us the
Speaker 12: best chance to win right now, but I don't really
Speaker 12: care because it hasn't been happening. I don't think we're
Speaker 12: going to win regardless. Too many more teams, So I
Speaker 12: want to know if guys like Duce can contribute, even
Speaker 12: in just a gadget type role. I want to see
Speaker 12: ten to twelve to fifteen carries us in one game.
Speaker 12: After that, do whatever the heck you want to do
Speaker 12: at that point. But the issue is with with that
Speaker 12: mindset is that we have a coach here on a
Speaker 12: one year deal and the GM and the coach might
Speaker 12: see things differently. Yep, GM might want to evaluate players
Speaker 12: GMS or the coaches is fighting for his job. So
Speaker 12: I don't think we're going to see evaluation. What I
Speaker 12: think we're going to still see competitive try to win mode,
Speaker 12: and I don't like that philosophy for teams are right now.
Speaker 12: But I thin guess what we're going to see, you know,
Speaker 12: going forward. But to answer your question, I'm selling as
Speaker 12: much as I can and I'm trying to package picks
Speaker 12: next year to move up and other grab players or
Speaker 12: move up in the draft and grab you know, some
Speaker 12: some young guys. So yep, thanks guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, Dylan always bring in the heat whenever
Speaker 3: it comes to this tach Cowboys team. He's he's very acknowledgeable.
Speaker 3: Whenever it comes to an I looster build.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent in agreement.
Speaker 5: The one thing is planned and we talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 1: Talked about that exact thing yesterday.
Speaker 5: Same kind of thing the killers.
Speaker 3: You got to make a decision if you're going to
Speaker 3: be sellers, because then you've got a head coach over
Speaker 3: there that has no tie to what the future is
Speaker 3: in terms of the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, if you are
Speaker 3: selling and you are conceding and waving the white flag
Speaker 3: in terms of the twenty twenty four season. The thing
Speaker 3: I want to say here is a a lot of times,
Speaker 3: and it's not always this way, but it does work
Speaker 3: out this way traditionally is the value that you get
Speaker 3: at the trade deadline is not the same value that
Speaker 3: you would get on draft day. So there might be
Speaker 3: some positive. It doesn't mean if they don't make any
Speaker 3: deals and they don't sell any of their high quality
Speaker 3: players right now, it doesn't mean that they're not going
Speaker 3: to before the draft happens a lot of times the
Speaker 3: desperation you talk about desperation and what the Cowboys did
Speaker 3: to overpay for Jonathan Mingo, A lot of times that
Speaker 3: desperation will fuel more compensation when you get closer to
Speaker 3: draft day. So don't feel like this is the be all,
Speaker 3: end all trade deadline. It's now, we're never We're not
Speaker 3: gonna sell these picks and we're gonna just pitter patter
Speaker 3: down the stretch. You're probably gonna pitter padder down the
Speaker 3: stretch in twenty twenty four. But that doesn't mean you
Speaker 3: can't revamp anything going into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: But there's still ways that you can affect your football.
Speaker 8: But today's price, tomorrow's price is not today's price, right, No,
Speaker 8: you're going going to overpay now if you are desperate,
Speaker 8: which you know, for all intents and purposes, we kind
Speaker 8: of are, and.
Speaker 5: There are other teams that are desperate right now to try.
Speaker 7: And exactly So, maybe you make the trade form Mango
Speaker 7: three weeks ago and it's a.
Speaker 5: Sixth maybe maybe possibly that's.
Speaker 8: Where my brain is, but there's nothing we can do
Speaker 8: as far as speculation goes. You know, like that, it
Speaker 8: sounds great in theory. It sounds great to sell everything
Speaker 8: now and like we talked about yesterday, gain as much
Speaker 8: draft capital as you can going into next year. I
Speaker 8: like what you're saying, Colin, that you can do that
Speaker 8: after the season. It's done, after we know what the
Speaker 8: result of the season is. And that feels like what's
Speaker 8: most likely going to happen. But I didn't expect to
Speaker 8: see a trade today. I really didn't. So maybe there's
Speaker 8: there's more, there's more on the table. I hope there's
Speaker 8: more on the table. I hope there's more moves being
Speaker 8: made today.
Speaker 5: And in hindsight, is twenty twenty always. I mean that's
Speaker 5: just kind of the case.
Speaker 3: But you do bring up a good point. I mean,
Speaker 3: Jonathan Mingo and Jerry said this was on their radar.
Speaker 3: He was a thirty visit for the Cowboys. I mean
Speaker 3: he was in the building. I mean I got to
Speaker 3: sit down and talk with the guy for the draft process.
Speaker 3: They had him on their radar from the very beginning.
Speaker 3: I mean that's you suck and whatever. Yeah, I talked
Speaker 3: to everybody, very very social.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not really.
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is that they could have
Speaker 3: made this trade previously, but they didn't.
Speaker 5: They didn't do it.
Speaker 3: Because they were trying to figure out what they had.
Speaker 3: They were trying to figure out if they I mean
Speaker 3: they were sitting at three and two, three and three.
Speaker 5: And then it unravels the way.
Speaker 7: That you were five games in at that point, so
Speaker 7: you knew what you had. You knew that Tobert was
Speaker 7: capable wide receiver three with flashes of wide receiver two.
Speaker 7: You knew that Brandon Cooks was on IR for a
Speaker 7: hot man. You knew that you were going to go
Speaker 7: up against the Detroit Lions and then the forty nine ers,
Speaker 7: and then you had to go visit the Falcons.
Speaker 5: These are things that you knew I picked him to
Speaker 5: lose all.
Speaker 8: You knew that your schedule does come out before the season.
Speaker 7: You knew that your offense was struggling to no end
Speaker 7: as far as scoring touchdown. So again, the only thing
Speaker 7: that's really changed between three weeks ago and today is
Speaker 7: the price to acquire mango because of your desperation at
Speaker 7: this point. That didn't exist three weeks ago. But most
Speaker 7: of the variables were pretty much going to be the same.
Speaker 7: So it's proactive versus reactive, and as life teaches you,
Speaker 7: when you're reactive, it tends to cost you more.
Speaker 1: It's no different from what you're fixing your car. Right.
Speaker 7: You can either pay for maintenance, regular maintenance and you
Speaker 7: get your oil change, or you can buy a new
Speaker 7: motor when that when those pistons lock up.
Speaker 8: This is why insurance exists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to pay for insurance too.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I fault them for not making
Speaker 3: this deal two weeks ago, though I really don't. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I know what you're saying it because deadlines
Speaker 3: make deals, and.
Speaker 7: Deals caused the overpay. Yes, that's that's the crux of
Speaker 7: my argument. But they weren't going to make this deal
Speaker 7: two weeks ago. Are you being completely I.
Speaker 3: Mean, the the way that they look at this team
Speaker 3: is from an overly optimistic stepoint I'm being just completely
Speaker 3: honest with the way that Jerry Jones runs this team
Speaker 3: and the way that this front office traditionally has run
Speaker 3: this team. It's with the rose colored glasses that you'd
Speaker 3: like to see. Hey, there's a way to fix this.
Speaker 3: There's a way to fix this. If only Jalen Tolbert
Speaker 3: could step up. Maybe we can use Cavante Turpin as
Speaker 3: a weapon more often and get him the football in
Speaker 3: space and he can learn how to catch.
Speaker 5: For the first time in his career.
Speaker 3: There are things that you can hope can happen, that
Speaker 3: you could hope would hang out.
Speaker 5: And it's that hopium that we've talked about forever. They
Speaker 5: weren't gonna.
Speaker 1: Make this deal two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: They may have had him on the radar and they
Speaker 3: may have been looking for something like this.
Speaker 7: There was a world class philosopher that once said this statement,
Speaker 7: and it will go down in the annals of history
Speaker 7: as one of the greatest statements ever.
Speaker 5: Who's he going to be?
Speaker 3: Hope is not strategy who said that he did. I'm
Speaker 3: just I'm not saying that's what I would have done. Again,
Speaker 3: I don't like the compensation. I want to just make
Speaker 3: it be clear. But I'm just telling you from the
Speaker 3: way that this front office thinks this was not to
Speaker 3: get done before the trade deadline was even upon you.
Speaker 5: No, and it was never going to happen that way.
Speaker 8: As more losses pile on, the team will be more desperate.
Speaker 8: Desperate now the the more the debo we get into
Speaker 8: the season.
Speaker 3: Whenever you said a world class philosopher, I was like,
Speaker 3: where is this going? I was thinking it was going
Speaker 3: to be like a music reference or something, and then
Speaker 3: you looked right at.
Speaker 7: Me and our good friend David Hellman loved David to death.
Speaker 7: This is his tweet, and this is what I mean
Speaker 7: when I say set a top the show. One of
Speaker 7: the reasons because regardless of the Cowboys track record with
Speaker 7: the fourth round pick, the fact that it's a fourth
Speaker 7: round pick for this situation and this player. Not to
Speaker 7: knock the player, but it just it does. The value
Speaker 7: equation doesn't jib for me. So from David Hillman, Cowboys Found,
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott, Tony Poller, Tyler Biadis Dalton, show Storn's Armstrong,
Speaker 7: Jake Ferguson and back in the day, Anthony Hitchins all
Speaker 7: his fourth round picks, most of those are in the
Speaker 7: Will McLay erroo. Okay, and now you've given up a
Speaker 7: fourth Trey Lance. That's not painting out for you right now.
Speaker 7: And now you just gave up a four four Mingle
Speaker 7: for only two and a half years of control. So
Speaker 7: even if you look at it as oh well, if
Speaker 7: you're fine with them using a fourth round pick on
Speaker 7: a receiver next season, then maybe you're fine. I get
Speaker 7: the logic, but you lose a year and a half
Speaker 7: in that conversation. So when you start thinking about it
Speaker 7: in that capacity, and then you add like the tidbit
Speaker 7: that Josh added with you gave up more to get
Speaker 7: Mingo than you acquired by losing Amari Cooper. Yeah, it's
Speaker 7: it just the value equation falls short for me.
Speaker 3: So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take our
Speaker 3: second prey. When we come back. We've got Zeus in
Speaker 3: La on line. I want to hear from Zeus and
Speaker 3: the fans as we continue with more talking Tuesday.
Speaker 6: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 6: jog in the cheata Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat

Speaker 6: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 6: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 6: has AT and T five G. It is fast and secure,

Speaker 6: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

Speaker 5: This portion of the.
Speaker 3: Show is brought to you by invisil Line, the Official
Speaker 3: Smile of the Dallas Cowboys, alongside Patrick noc Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 3: Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans. It is
Speaker 3: a Talking Tuesday eight at eight eight five five two
Speaker 3: two nine seven. We love talking to Cowboys Nation. We
Speaker 3: talked to Nebby and Dylan. We love talking to everybody.
Speaker 3: I mean from all the way across the country. We've
Speaker 3: had truck drivers call in while they're.
Speaker 5: On the rig. We've had people call in from their couch.
Speaker 5: We've had people call in from the beach. We even
Speaker 5: have people sometimes call in from the NFL.
Speaker 3: Network studios where they are currently filming Good Morning.
Speaker 5: Football, Zeus in La. You're on talking Cowboys? What's going on? Zeus?
Speaker 15: Good Fellas? My nickname is zoos aka as they are romon.
Speaker 15: Stand back, by the way, for those.
Speaker 5: That don't know, Zeus is actually your nickname? Like that's
Speaker 5: an actual thing.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, my boy Marcella's Kim, one of my
Speaker 15: former BATHLA teammates from growing up, called me Zeus because
Speaker 15: he said I used to throw lightning bulbs. So that's
Speaker 15: how that came around.
Speaker 5: Brad Sham still calls you that to this day.
Speaker 1: That's all that he did. It absolutely appropriate.
Speaker 7: Legend three and five with things falling apart, I feel
Speaker 7: like we're in hades.
Speaker 15: Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 3: I'm currently looking at like fire behind you too, because
Speaker 3: your co worker Isaiah Kyle Brandt is like on the
Speaker 3: screen right now with his second So as.
Speaker 4: Soon as you thought you're gonna say, who's on the phone, yeah, network,
Speaker 4: you're like, sorry to disappoint you, Beamer, it's our it's
Speaker 4: our teammate Isaiah.
Speaker 5: Standback.
Speaker 8: So, Isaiah, who's your favorite Kyle that you work with?
Speaker 11: You?
Speaker 15: There's only one Ky now, there's only one k.
Speaker 5: Exactly. You don't even have a KB like nickname.
Speaker 1: What's lame, it's the world famous philosopher.
Speaker 5: Isaiah. Tell me what you think about this trade.
Speaker 3: The Cowboys trade a fourth round pick and they received
Speaker 3: Jonathan Mingo, former second round pick out of Old Miss
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three at the wide receiver position, and
Speaker 3: they get a seventh round in return. Just kind of
Speaker 3: your initial thoughts after hearing the news out there on.
Speaker 5: The West Coast.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, it was a just a position, and I
Speaker 15: think they did need to get a receiver just because
Speaker 15: of obviously Brandon Cooks is not there. Even when he
Speaker 15: was there, he was being underutilized. Now you have an
Speaker 15: injury to Ceedee Lamb obviously that he'll most likely play through.
Speaker 15: Then you look at the aspect that Jalen Tolberth's not
Speaker 15: giving you much in regards to his productivity on the field,
Speaker 15: so you did need somebody else to come in and
Speaker 15: be a playmaker. But when you start looking at what
Speaker 15: they gave up, they gave up a fourth rounder once again,
Speaker 15: just like you know last year they gave him a
Speaker 15: fourth round er for a trade Lambs, which I know
Speaker 15: you guys already touched on which you're not seeing a
Speaker 15: return on investment. You probably won't see a return on
Speaker 15: investment because he hasn't had any on field time, which
Speaker 15: means that he's no longer a trade asset as a
Speaker 15: trade deadline approaches today. So you pretty much give away
Speaker 15: a fourth rounder for a third or third string quarterback.
Speaker 15: And now you're giving away a fourth rounder just for
Speaker 15: a financial reasons and for a depth move as group
Speaker 15: where he may or may not have an impact. A
Speaker 15: lot lot of people are going to look at it
Speaker 15: and say, well, why didn't they get d Hot d
Speaker 15: Hop was a you know, they gave way a fifth
Speaker 15: for d Hop or a potential fourth. Well, it was
Speaker 15: all about the financial situation of the future, which we
Speaker 15: know the Dallas Cowboys are always looking at. They're always
Speaker 15: trying to figure out, how can we get to the
Speaker 15: most bang for our book in terms of finances and
Speaker 15: not necessarily the most bang for our book in terms
Speaker 15: of productivity. And I think that's where people, their fans
Speaker 15: are starting to have a little bit of frustration in
Speaker 15: terms of this conversation that continually gets given away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. I mean,
Speaker 5: the fact to.
Speaker 3: The wall the fact that there's there's going to be
Speaker 3: comparisons made with the Amari Cooper trade and the d
Speaker 3: Hop Hop trade, and the all of that is to
Speaker 3: be said in an outside of context and just kind
Speaker 3: of put it together. This is in context. It's a
Speaker 3: depth move for the future.
Speaker 5: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: And there's nothing really more than that that you can
Speaker 3: kind of pull from it other than the fact that
Speaker 3: you might have over paid and center fourth round pick.
Speaker 5: That's the one knock against this trade. It's a big knock.
Speaker 3: It's one that's not not really what you want to
Speaker 3: see at this point in time. Whenever I think all
Speaker 3: of us and Isaiah, you went on the show yesterday,
Speaker 3: but would you have classified yourself as in the let's
Speaker 3: sell category for the Cowboys at the trade deadline as
Speaker 3: opposed to let's be buyers?
Speaker 15: You know, I don't think they're in a position to
Speaker 15: be selling.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 15: We talked about them coming out of training camp. They
Speaker 15: had a lot of trade assets because everybody was healthy.
Speaker 15: But now you're in a situation where everybody's injured. Right,
Speaker 15: You're your top four defensive the ends are all injured.
Speaker 15: That's the most depth that you had at any position.
Speaker 15: Group on your on your team, and that's where all
Speaker 15: your trade equity was at. Well, now you're down to
Speaker 15: your fifth and your sixth streen defense events and now
Speaker 15: you cannot trade. Who are you going to get rid of?
Speaker 15: You don't have anybody on offense that you could trade.
Speaker 15: You have nobody on defense that's trade worthy. Where where
Speaker 15: you're going to get in return an impact player? And
Speaker 15: that's where Dallas Cowboys are at right now. If you're
Speaker 15: going to make a move, you need to make a
Speaker 15: move for somebody who's going to come in and have
Speaker 15: immediate impact. If you're trying to save the season. Now,
Speaker 15: if you're not trying to save the season, then you're
Speaker 15: making trades for the future, And that's communicating whatever your
Speaker 15: thought process is to your fan base.
Speaker 3: I'm waving the white flag. I'm not really worried about
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. If I'm selling at the deadline, I'm
Speaker 3: waving the white flag. I get what you're saying, like
Speaker 3: impact players. That's that's part of why I would kind
Speaker 3: of concede twenty twenty four. If I'm selling is because
Speaker 3: you look at it. Where are you going to grab a.
Speaker 5: Guy saying that?
Speaker 8: Because you host the draft show man, You're you're looking
Speaker 8: out for yourself right here, buddy, No, no.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be an interesting draft show.
Speaker 1: I will say that.
Speaker 5: I think if you're a realistic.
Speaker 8: I know, right, dang it. If you're realistic, you have
Speaker 8: to look to the future. At this point, I think
Speaker 8: just the and I know you said we're upstairs, probably
Speaker 8: overly optimistic, right, But at this point, sitting here, what
Speaker 8: I would do is sell, sell, sell whatever you can
Speaker 8: to build that up.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, that would have been a seller, absolutely would have
Speaker 7: been a seller. But that's again, and that's two trains
Speaker 7: of thought. It's our train of thought. But then the
Speaker 7: team's train of thought is and like I articulated yesterday,
Speaker 7: if you were to be sellers, that's basically you looking
Speaker 7: at Mike McCarthy and the final year of his contract
Speaker 7: and saying, yeah, we're just setting the rest of your.
Speaker 1: Season on fire. Like that's just what it is.
Speaker 15: Because yeah, but even then, no, see, like who are
Speaker 15: you selling? What are you selling? What position group? What
Speaker 15: position group? Do you have enough value for a player
Speaker 15: to leave your team and go make an impact on
Speaker 15: somebody else's name? What position group can you pull from?
Speaker 7: That's fair and as far as being buyers, and you know,
Speaker 7: you go out and you buy the rights to Jonathan Mango,
Speaker 7: which is basically what the trade is.
Speaker 1: For me.
Speaker 7: It's not just the compensation that's the issue. It's the
Speaker 7: timing of it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: So again, if you make this move, you know two
Speaker 7: three weeks ago, maybe you're not three and five.
Speaker 1: Maybe you throw that, you know, when you're.
Speaker 7: Trying to come back against the forty nine ers in
Speaker 7: San Francisco, when you're on that final offense to drive
Speaker 7: and you go deep left, Maybe that's not terping.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's Jonathan Mango.
Speaker 7: Maybe you come up with that ball, and then maybe
Speaker 7: the butterfly effect is possibly you walk away with that win.
Speaker 1: Could be maybe.
Speaker 7: So that's what I mean when I say it's not
Speaker 7: the compensation, but it is certainly the compensation because I'm
Speaker 7: out on the fourth round pick. But if you wanted
Speaker 7: that player, you knew three weeks ago what the schedule
Speaker 7: was and that you were without Brandon Cooks and that
Speaker 7: the offense needed uh, you know, an insertion of electricity
Speaker 7: and dot dot dot dot dot. So that's what I mean.
Speaker 7: So those are my two biggest problems with it. If
Speaker 7: this was going to happen. It should have happened three
Speaker 7: weeks ago. Now that has happened. Desperation made you overpay
Speaker 7: Mmm mmm.
Speaker 3: Who's the Who's the most famous person that's standing closest
Speaker 3: to you right now?
Speaker 13: Uh?
