We've got a Talking Tuesday eight eight 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.480 eight eight five five two two nine seven. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.240 My question going into the day was going to be 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.160 should Cowboys be buyers or sellers in. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.840 Today's trade deadline? 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.319 Well, as of a couple moments ago, it appears we've 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:14.000 found out at least semi directional minutes ago, literally as 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.560 we were in the studio this breaks. I mean Jerry 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.080 Jones on one to five three, the fan. We've got 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.800 Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Roderiguez, Chrispian. By the way, I'm 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.600 Kyle Yeomans, Jerry Jones on one to five three, the Fan, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.679 the flagship station for your Dallas Cowboys said we're trading 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:28.680 for a wide receiver. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.440 That's what he said. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.240 He said it, and then since then, multiple reports have 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.680 now surfaced that the Cowboys have traded with the Carolina Panthers. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.640 Yes, so that's the breaking news coming in. Jerry set 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.440 it up in a few minutes after he hung up 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.839 with one five three the Fan. The deal was being 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.320 reported by multiple outlets. Tom Pellicero of NFL Network and 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.680 Ian Rappaport breaking the initial news. Jonathan Mingle is reportedly 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.960 headed to Dallas from Charlotte. Jonathan Mingle will be accompanied 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.600 in his carry on with a twenty twenty five seventh 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.880 round pick that the Panthers are also included in the package, 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.080 and the Cowboys are set to send a twenty twenty 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.600 five fourth round pick in exchange for that package. 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.200 And that's where we are right now. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.840 That ties into the news that as we have a 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.880 wide receiver coming in to hopefully help the Cowboys offense, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.000 they're losing their franchise quarterback for a minimum of four games. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.200 That Prescott is likely to head two injured reserve per 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.280 Jerry Jones, which means he will not be eligible to 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.720 return until December ninth at the earliest, which is versus 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.800 the Cincinnati Bengals. And we've already talked about this four 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.919 game gauntlet that they're about to go up against. Per 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.440 Mike McCarthy, he was unequivocal in what the QB rotation 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.600 will be against Philly and going forward it will be 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.520 Cooper Rush as the starter. Trey Lance is going to 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.920 be your number two. So a lot of moving pieces 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.519 there for the Cowboys offense heading into Week ten. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.000 So just to clean it all up, Jonathan Mingo and 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.360 the seventh router rounder coming from Carolina to Dallas, and 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.120 you exchange a fourth round pick for that, so you 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.919 basically pick swap a fourth and seventh round pick. That's 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.160 not an easy pick swamp, but you get Jonathan Mingo, who, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.880 as he walks in the building today and the current 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.600 state of this Dallas Cowboys roster will be your wide 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.239 receiver two. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.239 That is what you just traded for as a wide 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.280 receiver two, a future wide receiver too as well, young 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:26.160 wide receiver two. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.040 Yes, well, he's contractually speaking for those that are wondering, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.760 and I know you are because you love the science 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.560 like we. So this is a young man who's still 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.240 on his rookie deal. This is only the second year 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.640 of his rookie deal, so he's contracted through twenty twenty six. Shit, 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.160 the Cowboys keep him throughout the rest of that deal. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.960 So this is you talk about Brandon Cooks, who is 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.200 eligible to see his twenty one day window activated on 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.560 tomorrow Wednesday's practice. But Brandon Cooks is an unrestricted free 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.560 agent after this season. Trading for Jonathan Mingo, you guarantee 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:02.800 the WR two situation opposite Ceede Lamb beyond January, February 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.440 or December, whenever this season ends. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.640 Yeah, when we were talking about it, we were talking 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.440 about a potential trade at wide receiver a few weeks back, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.240 when we were still sort of. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:13.680 That was the one you wanted to do. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.520 That was the one that I wanted to do because 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.120 even with Brandon Cooks in the mix, I felt like 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.920 a wide receiver, an actual clear cut wide receiver to 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.239 an actual threat on the outside, gives you a chance 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.120 and we'll be able to open up the run. I think, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.800 at least for now. You look at Rico doing good 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.880 things behind this line. He was averaging over six yards 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.360 of carry last week, even though it resulted in a loss. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.080 I think they're starting to find some footing in the 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.240 running game. Now that you have an actual threat on 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.640 the outside, it opens it up even more. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:43.960 Yeah. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.640 I like the trade. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.840 Maybe a little too rich for my taste, sure, but ultimately, 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.040 like Patrick said, you have him under contract until twenty 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.719 twenty six, So now. 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.000 That is your clear cut wide receiver too, Yeah, clear cut. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.479 He was a twenty twenty three second round pick, and 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.599 I went back into my notes, I had a fourth 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.800 round grade on him. So they went a little bit high. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.840 Carolina did in drafting him in the second round, but 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:07.440 there were a lot. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.880 Of individuals around the league that had him as a. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:10.880 Top sixty player. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:11.560 I didn't. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.800 I had him where'd I have him at overall? I 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.960 had him at one twenty four overall in that draft class, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.400 which I guess now hindsight site twenty twenty he was 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.880 on a bad football team, but I think one twenty 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.240 four in a fourth round grade was. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.360 Right around where I would have valued. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.320 Jonathan Mingo and what he's done so far in the 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.640 NFL forty three receptions, four hundred and eighteen yards. He 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.200 did not have a single touchdown his rookie year, then 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.960 in twenty twenty four. This year, as a twenty three 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.239 year old, he has twelve receptions one hundred and twenty 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.960 one yards and no touchdowns as well, He's yet to 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.640 catch a touchdown pass in the NFL during a regular 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.640 season game. So, like I said, that's a bad football team. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440 That is a bad offense. And he kind of got 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.240 buried in the depth chart because they went out and 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.080 grabbed guys like Adam Thielen. And there's another name there 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.400 in Carolina that I'm blanking on currently. But there are 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.440 bad football teams who really cares. The thing about Jonathan 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.960 Mingo is that he does present a steady hand in 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.760 terms of the wide receiver position that. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.040 You haven't necessarily had without Brandon Cooks in the fold. 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.680 Correct, But here's my problem with it, And I think 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.440 Mingo has potential. Two things are true. I believe he 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.640 has potential. I believe this is too rich for my blood, 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.360 A great on the fourth round pick. I believe this 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.120 is an overpay. And I believe this is an overpaid 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.840 driven by a sense of desperation, whether the front office 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.599 will admit it or not. Because you're three and five, 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.400 you're coming off your third consecutive loss. You haven't won 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.479 a home and now your next home game is against 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.440 the Philadelphia Eagles. You're heading into this four game gauntlet. 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.760 You lose, well, you might lose wide receiver one. He's 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.560 likely to play, but he's not healthy at all. He's 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.919 far below healthy. And then Dak Prescott, you lose your 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.000 franchise quarterback for minimum four games. Things just spiraling, right, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.080 So I think the Panthers knew that, and Panthers said, hey, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.000 you're going to have to overpay if you want to 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.240 get Jonathan Mingo. So again, the potential is there when 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.920 you look at you know what he was unable to do. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.799 And like you said, Kyle, it's your accurate. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.600 The Panthers are a bad team and they were a 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.080 bad offense. The Cowboys right now are a bad team 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:13.720 and the Cowboys. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.040 Have a bad offense. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:19.040 Yeah yeah, okay, So you're giving up a fourth round 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.080 pick for a guy to take a shot on it. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.800 You had to take a shot on the guy who's 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.520 who wasn't able to produce on a bad offense, which 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.600 and I say that because he has to be thrown 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.040 the ball by quality quarterback and things have to happen. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.880 He is one of those there, which is or here, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:33.400 which is. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:34.840 Nice, which is fair. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.360 In Carolina is up for debate, right and say that. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.920 To say kind of segue back to what I said yesterday, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.640 which was and this is again, this is not a 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.000 shot at Mango. Again, I believe he has potential. But 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:52.600 even if this was a blockbuster trade, the blockbuster trade 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.440 doesn't fix nearly as many issues as you need repaired 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.120 in order for the season to get back on track. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.480 So where you're going to need is Jonathan Mingo or 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.600 someone you know of a higher caliber. And then you're 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.280 still going to need to fix the penalties, and you're 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.280 still going to need to fix your red zone issues, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.960 and you're still going to need to fix your takeaway 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.080 issues or your lack of takeaways on defense, and you 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.960 need to fix your mistackles, and you need to fix 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.680 your execution, and you need to fix some of the 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.239 play calling. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:19.960 So all of this needs to be fixed. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.440 So when Jerry Jones told one O five three to 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.840 the fan this morning that the move before the news 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.000 came up, the move, that it would be a receiver 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.720 and maybe like quote unquote, a storybook type move, we 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.600 read two different types of storybooks because this, this is 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.560 a move, it's a quality move. I agree with the move, 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.400 I disagree with the compensation for it. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.440 Yeah, I'm there with you. 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.240 But even on its face, this doesn't hit storybook for me. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.840 Now, the Cowboys still have until three pm Central time 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.600 for today's deadline to make an additional movie that maybe fits. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.560 Maybe they're traded for another Witers maybe, But it just 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.280 gave it a fourth So now what are you giving them? 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.360 You see what I mean? 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.600 So also, they're kind of passing out fourth run like 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.880 and I get it compensatory formula as well, so they're 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.599 banking on getting some of these back. So that's in 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.319 the mix as well. It's it's more chess than Checkers. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.120 But yeah, I mean, I'm I don't have a problem 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.400 fourth too. Yeah, I don't have a problem with the move. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.320 I do have a problem with the compensation. But yeah, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.960 like you said, Caw, this is also a future move. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.520 This is a future proof move. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.280 It solidifies the wide receiver corps for the next couple 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.400 of years at least, and especially with the you know, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.120 you have Kvante Turpin out there. Who's I mean, just 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.160 the wide receiver corps that you have. I mean, there 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:38.240 are deficiencies. There obviously deficiencies in the run blocking deficiencies 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.240 and you know, uh, receiving, actually catching the ball downfield. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.520 I think some players are playing out of play, out 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.400 of position at the moment, and at least you solidify 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.680 that wide receiver too. Yet again, just to reiterate that point, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.440 I think it's a solid move, too. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:54.720 Rich. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.760 Yeah, this is not the twenty eighteen Cowboys at three 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.720 and four going into Monday Football against the Tennessee Titans 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.120 and trading for Amri Cooper. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.199 That's not what this is. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.760 This is a let's give this guy who's twenty three 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.240 years old, who was a second round pick out of 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.920 Ole miss give him a shot to find his footing 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.000 in Dallas as opposed to elsewhere. Because Carolina is selling pieces. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.839 They're gonna they're going to continue to be bad for. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.920 The for the foreseeable future, and they're going to sell 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:23.720 some of their their. 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.520 High end pieces as the years go along and continue 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.480 to try and stack up draft picks. So Dallas looks 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.080 at it and says, hey, we're going to try and 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:36.280 pick swap. We've got a seventh coming back here. But 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.199 if it was a fifth, I think I would be 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:42.960 a little bit exciting, indeed more because if we're talking 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.520 middle day two picks, you're trying to set up a 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.360 wide receiver two on your roster for the future by 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.560 all means, all right, sounds good, but a fourth round 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:53.920 pick is a premium. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.000 Pick, Jonathan Mingo, So that that's where I get. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.839 Stuck, and I get it. There's probably some. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.960 Some who's drafting the fourth round for those I. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.800 Know, Yeah, there's some some pause on who's cow How 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.280 the Cowboys use that fourth round pick in the past. 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:10.520 How have they used it in the past. Well, they 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.760 used it last year on Trey Lance. A couple of 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.120 years prior, they used it on Jake Ferguson. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.800 And the Tree Lance thing. Do you see what I mean. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.200 Yeah, they're throwing it out there a couple of different times. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.680 So they obviously don't have a huge respect for that 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.640 fourth round pick, and they're gonna go try and find 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.480 a wide receiver too if you had. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.240 You're counting on compicks though, to be fair, absolutely depends who, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.080 depends where they are. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:33.319 Yeah. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.360 Yeah, My thought process is which that you won't have 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.520 a fourth round picked. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.119 It's difficult to get I mean, the fourth round cap. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.120 That's a high compa. That's the Yeah, maybe Tyrone Smith. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.240 Maybe No, I don't think he's Yeah, his deal is not. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.240 Big enough for I didn't think so either. Yeah, trying 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.160 to think of who even would be there. I don't 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:53.839 think they have one. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:54.360 I don't think. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:58.520 But my thought process is, if you're going into April's 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.120 draft and we're on the draft show and we're talking 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.800 about it and there's not a move made today and 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:02.880 you have that fourth round. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.720 Pick, would you be okay using that fourth round pick 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.000 to get your wide receiver too? 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.160 And that that's an excellent way of framing it, because 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.360 that's basically they're looking at it. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:13.199 And that's how they're looking. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.600 Because they have several years left on this particular deal. Now, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:20.120 the caveat is is you don't have four years of Mingo, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.000 you have two and a half. But the framing is correct. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.480 And you have the film of him being in the 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.079 NFL seeing what he can do. So I feel confident 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.720 in them saying, hey, we've seen something that we feel 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.560 like we can bring out of this guy and we 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.080 can put him in a decent offense. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.720 Of course, there's a lot to work on in this offense. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.440 But when Dak Prescott comes back, Jonathan Mingo is going 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.480 to benefit significantly over guys like Bryce Young. And I mean, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.520 the last time the Cowboys were missing maybe Cooper Rush 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.840 and Dak Prescott, you had Andy Dolton back there. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.720 Too, But maybe maybe he benefits greatly. And I say 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.720 that because let's just shoot it straight. Before Dak went down, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.319 the offense was strug The offense was struggling in the 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.040 red zone. They were not struggling to move the ball. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.920 They could move the ball, but once they got to 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.319 the opponent's thirty and then the red zone, things the 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.960 wheels will fall off. Okay, they are struggling with chunk 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.240 plays mightily. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.520 They could not. They cannot get chunk plays. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.439 Even when the ball was in the right right. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.800 Defenses are playing too high safety because they're basically daring 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.160 CD Lamb to right. So now ceede Lamb. He's battling 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.960 the spring to the ac joint. We'll see how he feels, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.360 you know, by the time Dak gets back. But CD 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.800 apparently isn't taking any time to rest. So how can 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.440 you heal if you're still getting hit on that shoulder? 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.400 So CD might not be one hundred percent when Dak 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.840 comes back that will need to work his way back. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.040 It'll be December. What will the record be at that point? 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.360 Can Cooper rush stave off? You know, a possible three 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.880 or four game losing streak on addition to the three, 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.760 which makes it a six or seven game losing streak. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.520 All these things have to come together and be perfect 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.720 so that when Manko comes back. Schematically, things have to 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.960 be better. Execution has to be better in order for 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.720 the offense to take off, for it to matter this year. Yes, 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.679 that mingle is here, because otherwise we're talking about it 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.120 mattering for next year. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.960 I don't think this is a this year man and 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.520 that that is exactly and which is why I don't 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.040 want to give up a fourth round pick for it. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.439 That's that's where the conversation. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.480 That's where the conversation as I have a problem with 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.640 what they gave up. And now, like I said, if 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.560 you frame it in the context of in the next 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.360 two years you have a wide receiver two and you 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.800 use the fourth round pick to get there, great, But 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.280 if you're talking about future potential and you're talking about 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.760 a guy who's young like that, I would rather do 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.320 a fifth round pick and a pick swap. With my 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.680 seventh at least you still have the same number of 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.280 darts to throw at the dark board because you flip picks. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.320 But a fourth round pick is that's that's a heavy 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.520 price to ye for a guy who's probably not going 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.360 to be a game changer in twenty twenty four. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.760 Specifically, he's great a ninetieth out of ninety one wide receivers. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:58.480 We're gonna take our first pick. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.200 No, we are going to take our first break because 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.040 I do want to talk to Cowboys nation eight eight 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.840 eight eight five two two nine seven. The Cowboys trade 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.720 for Jonathan Mingo. Do you want them to sell at 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.680 the deadline too? If we we knock this one off 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.760 as a future compensation move. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.080 This is something for the future. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.720 Would you rather the Cowboys be buyers or sellers at 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:22.440 the trade deadline? 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.880 When we come back with more talking Cowboys. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.040 If you're looking for fresh American roasted coffee that gives back, 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.520 you need to head to your local grocery store and 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.600 pick up a bag of Black Rifle Coffee.

Were there any other takeaways from Jerry? 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.200 Yes, as a matter of fact, it was so Dak 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.240 likely hit it to IR and then you got CD 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.240 likely to be available against the Eagles. Will see how 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.880 things play out in practice. Ezekiel Elliott is also likely 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.639 to be available versus the Eagles, per Jerry Jones to 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.920 the fan, and we will see what that means, because 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.879 being available and being active are two different things entirely. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.480 But what that statement does tell me and the rest 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.360 of Cowboys Nation who were wondering, is that the future 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.919 of Ezekiel Elliott as far as the remainder of this 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.040 season appears to be in Dallas, right, So there was 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.480 some people wondering if the team discipline situation would escalate 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.639 to possibly a release in the two part ways again, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.160 but that does not seem to be the case at all. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.639 Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones are pretty much in locksteup 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.720 as far as Ezekiel Elliott. Sounds like whatever conversations they 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.359 had after that situation, everybody's back on the same page. 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:42.040 So now the question for Zeke just becomes will will 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.359 they make him active on Sunday? And if they do, 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.040 does that mean Dalvin Cook is not elevated the third time? 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.040 And if Dalvin Cook is and Zeke is active, Like, 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.320 how do you work that? Because Rico Dwudle just showed 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.119 you once again that he can produce at a strong 0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.880 level if you continue to give him the ball for momentum. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.760 So yeah, that was another big takeaway is Zeke is 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.680 likely to be all set for Philly, good for the 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.600 game against Philly, but we'll see if he if he's 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:10.280 made inactive or. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.639 No good news he I mean, despite what has happened 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:14.480 recently with Zeke. 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.080 He's a legend in these uniforms. 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.840 I mean, he's a legend for the Cowboys, and what 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.560 he's done throughout his career, you never want to see 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.880 it in the way that it could have ended if 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:25.040 they cut ties and keep him out and inactive and 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:26.800 whatever it may be. So he's got a bit of 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.520 a redemption opportunity this week, and I hope he takes 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.160 advantage of it. And for again, I mean we've said 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.960 it on these airways before. As much as we're analytical 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.040 and we're critical of this team and their performance, it 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.200 would be a lot better if they just played well. 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.560 So I would love for Zeke to have some success. 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.520 It would be so much more fun to cheer for 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.960 Zeke as opposed to analyze what they can do elsewhere. 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.560 Cowboys fans are really giving their feedback on Twitter right now, 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.520 I'll tell you that, man, because. 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:55.840 You know I'm not even on it right now. 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.119 Well, I'm only just checking to see what the comings 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.560 are for talking Cowboys so people know that they need 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:01.920 and voice. 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:04.720 Isaiah said he's trying to give a call in. By 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.960 the way, we got we got a busy tone. 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:07.359 Currently. 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.320 Somebody asked which story book is it Lord of the Flies. 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:17.440 Oh gosh, let's I want to go through the comments section. 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.440 Let's go to Nebby and Silver Spring, Maryland. Nebbe our guy, 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:24.520 what's going on? Nebby? 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:30.600 Uh uh uh uh uh Hi, guys, thank you so 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:35.760 much for taking my call. I really appreciate it definitely. Uh, Kyle. 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.919 I want to start off by saying, I want to 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.960 thank you so much for the compliment you gave me 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:50.240 last week when you said uh uh uh uh that 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:55.919 I said this football team. Well, I really appreciate it, 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.960 so thank you so much. And I also want to 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:07.199 preach patients because I know our offensive line is struggling 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:13.720 right now, but I'm really excited about and I am 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:22.840 very high on these two guys. And that is our 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:28.880 two rookies on our offensive line, Tyler Guidon and Cooper BB. 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:37.200 And I'm especially excited about Cooper BB because he can 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:44.520 just mall whoever is across from him. And I really 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:58.200 hope that these two guys, but especially Cooper BB, I 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:04.520 hope that they will be members of this Dallas Cowboys 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:09.480 roster for a long long time. And one last quick 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:16.800 thing before I go, and that is even though I 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:20.439 know this is probably not going to happen. I would 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:28.440 like to see more abduced fun on the field because, 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:33.120 as I've said before in the past, I really think 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:41.040 that to fight his lack of size, if you were 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:46.640 to get fifteen touches a game, I really think that 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:51.960 he would do really, really well for us. Take care, 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.760 Thank you so much for being patient with me, and 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:57.680 have a great week. 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:01.840 By another great call, Navi. Appreciate you as always. Nebby's 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.600 a true fan for real, and he does. He dissects 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:06.879 the team. I meant what I said last week, and 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:09.280 he says it again here. I am also very high 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.480 on the rookies on this offensive line, and this offensive 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.280 line is a problem. It's a It is not playing 0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.000 well right now. But it's not because of the rookies. 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.160 Let me tell you a little secret. It's the guys 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.040 on the right side of the line of scrimmage that happens. 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:23.199 Because it's not a secret. 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.439 That is not a secret, not anymore. 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:26.800 It is. 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:32.080 It's the guys you didn't expect to be struggling. Zach Martin, 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:34.840 Terrence Steele, You're too big. 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.280 Money guys up front. Neither one of them are playing. 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.680 I don't even want to say adequate football. They're both 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.800 being they're both bad right now. 0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:44.800 It's hurting the off film line bad. 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:45.719 It's hurting the run game. 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.480 It's hurting the offensive line, and and you're risking the 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:50.520 health of Dak Prescott. 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:50.960 Obviously. 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:56.160 Yeah, it's it's disappointing to see. But hopefully they now 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.399 that you have a little more solidified run game, I 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.639 think that's going to improve. Not that finally had like, 0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:06.600 all right, this is the guy. Rico's the guy. 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.040 The problem is you can't know that until you know 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.479 that because Pittsburgh, he had a career day and then 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:18.280 he was shelled Okay at the goal line. Fine, other 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:20.840 than that, had a career day, Okay, then he was shelled. 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.400 Now he has another great day, average just under seven 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.320 yards per carry against the Falcons. 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.920 I can't sit here and tell you that he'll be. 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.800 Given the same number of handoffs when the Philadelphia Eagles 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:33.760 come to town, because. 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:34.000 I don't know. 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.920 There's this whole roller coaster of a ride with the 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.639 running back by committee situation. And I see why Mike 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.080 McCarthy doesn't, quote unquote he doesn't like it as a 0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.199 play caller because there's no you don't know who the 0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:47.560 guy is. Even if you know who the guy is, 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:48.840 it's it's maddening. 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.120 We all know who the guy is. Like at this point, 0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:52.600 what are we? What are we doing? 0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:54.120 That's a valid question. 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:59.120 Now take that question and smear it all over. 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:02.840 A man. 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:05.480 Let's go to Dylan in north Port, Florida. Dylan, you're 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:07.000 back on talking cowboys. What's going on? 0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:07.280 Man? 0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.879 Hey, you guys ask the question sellers or buyers the 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:15.160 trade deadline? I'm self self sell all the way. I'm 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.560 in pure evaluation mode at this point. To me, as 0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:22.040 a fan, I think the seasons just about over, you know. 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:24.640 Putting on my GM cap, I want to evaluate these 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.960 guys as much as possible to know, especially the young 0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:29.400 guys like a Deuce Fawn. I think this running back 0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:31.159 room is going to be gutt in next year. I 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.560 understand that are our boys going to give us the 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:38.240 best chance to win right now, but I don't really 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.359 care because it hasn't been happening. I don't think we're 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:44.119 going to win regardless. Too many more teams, So I 0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.359 want to know if guys like Duce can contribute, even 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.560 in just a gadget type role. I want to see 0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.960 ten to twelve to fifteen carries us in one game. 0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.080 After that, do whatever the heck you want to do 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.560 at that point. But the issue is with with that 0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:57.720 mindset is that we have a coach here on a 0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:00.719 one year deal and the GM and the coach might 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:04.040 see things differently. Yep, GM might want to evaluate players 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:06.720 GMS or the coaches is fighting for his job. So 0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:08.440 I don't think we're going to see evaluation. What I 0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.359 think we're going to still see competitive try to win mode, 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:14.439 and I don't like that philosophy for teams are right now. 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:15.679 But I thin guess what we're going to see, you know, 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:17.919 going forward. But to answer your question, I'm selling as 0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:20.080 much as I can and I'm trying to package picks 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:22.000 next year to move up and other grab players or 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.320 move up in the draft and grab you know, some 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:26.359 some young guys. So yep, thanks guys. 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:30.399 Yeah, of course, Dylan always bring in the heat whenever 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:33.440 it comes to this tach Cowboys team. He's he's very acknowledgeable. 0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.640 Whenever it comes to an I looster build. 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:36.760 One hundred percent in agreement. 0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.680 The one thing is planned and we talked about it yesterday. 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.240 Talked about that exact thing yesterday. 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.400 Same kind of thing the killers. 0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:44.680 You got to make a decision if you're going to 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.760 be sellers, because then you've got a head coach over 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.840 there that has no tie to what the future is 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.440 in terms of the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, if you are 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.680 selling and you are conceding and waving the white flag 0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.160 in terms of the twenty twenty four season. The thing 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:00.680 I want to say here is a a lot of times, 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.840 and it's not always this way, but it does work 0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:08.160 out this way traditionally is the value that you get 0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.640 at the trade deadline is not the same value that 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.960 you would get on draft day. So there might be 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.640 some positive. It doesn't mean if they don't make any 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:21.280 deals and they don't sell any of their high quality 0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.120 players right now, it doesn't mean that they're not going 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.720 to before the draft happens a lot of times the 0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:30.960 desperation you talk about desperation and what the Cowboys did 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:33.280 to overpay for Jonathan Mingo, A lot of times that 0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:37.840 desperation will fuel more compensation when you get closer to 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.520 draft day. So don't feel like this is the be all, 0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.320 end all trade deadline. It's now, we're never We're not 0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.240 gonna sell these picks and we're gonna just pitter patter 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.360 down the stretch. You're probably gonna pitter padder down the 0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.280 stretch in twenty twenty four. But that doesn't mean you 0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.840 can't revamp anything going into twenty twenty five. 0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.400 But there's still ways that you can affect your football. 0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:59.320 But today's price, tomorrow's price is not today's price, right, No, 0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:04.120 you're going going to overpay now if you are desperate, 0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:06.960 which you know, for all intents and purposes, we kind 0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:08.000 of are, and. 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:10.200 There are other teams that are desperate right now to try. 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.880 And exactly So, maybe you make the trade form Mango 0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:14.200 three weeks ago and it's a. 0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.880 Sixth maybe maybe possibly that's. 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.680 Where my brain is, but there's nothing we can do 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.840 as far as speculation goes. You know, like that, it 0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.280 sounds great in theory. It sounds great to sell everything 0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:29.320 now and like we talked about yesterday, gain as much 0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:33.040 draft capital as you can going into next year. I 0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:35.200 like what you're saying, Colin, that you can do that 0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:37.479 after the season. It's done, after we know what the 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.800 result of the season is. And that feels like what's 0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.360 most likely going to happen. But I didn't expect to 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:47.000 see a trade today. I really didn't. So maybe there's 0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.320 there's more, there's more on the table. I hope there's 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.760 more on the table. I hope there's more moves being 0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:52.320 made today. 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.080 And in hindsight, is twenty twenty always. I mean that's 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:56.000 just kind of the case. 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:57.760 But you do bring up a good point. I mean, 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.440 Jonathan Mingo and Jerry said this was on their radar. 0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:02.560 He was a thirty visit for the Cowboys. I mean 0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:04.560 he was in the building. I mean I got to 0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.480 sit down and talk with the guy for the draft process. 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.080 They had him on their radar from the very beginning. 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.080 I mean that's you suck and whatever. Yeah, I talked 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.320 to everybody, very very social. 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:16.360 Yeah, not really. 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:20.280 The fact of the matter is that they could have 0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.760 made this trade previously, but they didn't. 0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:23.560 They didn't do it. 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.160 Because they were trying to figure out what they had. 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:27.040 They were trying to figure out if they I mean 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.480 they were sitting at three and two, three and three. 0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.160 And then it unravels the way. 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:34.840 That you were five games in at that point, so 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:36.640 you knew what you had. You knew that Tobert was 0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:40.080 capable wide receiver three with flashes of wide receiver two. 0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:42.400 You knew that Brandon Cooks was on IR for a 0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:44.120 hot man. You knew that you were going to go 0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.680 up against the Detroit Lions and then the forty nine ers, 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:48.280 and then you had to go visit the Falcons. 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.360 These are things that you knew I picked him to 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:50.760 lose all. 0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.120 You knew that your schedule does come out before the season. 0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:58.160 You knew that your offense was struggling to no end 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.320 as far as scoring touchdown. So again, the only thing 0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:06.800 that's really changed between three weeks ago and today is 0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:11.720 the price to acquire mango because of your desperation at 0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:14.760 this point. That didn't exist three weeks ago. But most 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:17.640 of the variables were pretty much going to be the same. 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:21.160 So it's proactive versus reactive, and as life teaches you, 0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:23.720 when you're reactive, it tends to cost you more. 0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:26.800 It's no different from what you're fixing your car. Right. 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.800 You can either pay for maintenance, regular maintenance and you 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:31.880 get your oil change, or you can buy a new 0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:33.920 motor when that when those pistons lock up. 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:35.400 This is why insurance exists. 0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.520 Yeah, it's got to pay for insurance too. 0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:40.560 I don't know if I fault them for not making 0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:43.560 this deal two weeks ago, though I really don't. Yeah, 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:46.160 I know, I know what you're saying it because deadlines 0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:46.880 make deals, and. 0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:52.440 Deals caused the overpay. Yes, that's that's the crux of 0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:54.120 my argument. But they weren't going to make this deal 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:55.920 two weeks ago. Are you being completely I. 0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:58.280 Mean, the the way that they look at this team 0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.240 is from an overly optimistic stepoint I'm being just completely 0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.840 honest with the way that Jerry Jones runs this team 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.240 and the way that this front office traditionally has run 0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.720 this team. It's with the rose colored glasses that you'd 0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:12.920 like to see. Hey, there's a way to fix this. 0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:15.000 There's a way to fix this. If only Jalen Tolbert 0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:17.640 could step up. Maybe we can use Cavante Turpin as 0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:19.760 a weapon more often and get him the football in 0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:22.360 space and he can learn how to catch. 0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:23.480 For the first time in his career. 0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.000 There are things that you can hope can happen, that 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:28.800 you could hope would hang out. 0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:31.480 And it's that hopium that we've talked about forever. They 0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:32.200 weren't gonna. 0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:33.040 Make this deal two weeks ago. 0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:34.920 They may have had him on the radar and they 0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:36.680 may have been looking for something like this. 0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:41.520 There was a world class philosopher that once said this statement, 0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:43.680 and it will go down in the annals of history 0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.040 as one of the greatest statements ever. 0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:45.760 Who's he going to be? 0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:51.880 Hope is not strategy who said that he did. I'm 0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.760 just I'm not saying that's what I would have done. Again, 0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:56.560 I don't like the compensation. I want to just make 0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.000 it be clear. But I'm just telling you from the 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.160 way that this front office thinks this was not to 0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:02.600 get done before the trade deadline was even upon you. 0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:04.280 No, and it was never going to happen that way. 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:09.720 As more losses pile on, the team will be more desperate. 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:13.839 Desperate now the the more the debo we get into 0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:14.280 the season. 0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:18.080 Whenever you said a world class philosopher, I was like, 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:19.600 where is this going? I was thinking it was going 0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:21.560 to be like a music reference or something, and then 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:22.399 you looked right at. 0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:28.719 Me and our good friend David Hellman loved David to death. 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.440 This is his tweet, and this is what I mean 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.520 when I say set a top the show. One of 0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:36.960 the reasons because regardless of the Cowboys track record with 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:38.640 the fourth round pick, the fact that it's a fourth 0:34:38.719 --> 0:34:41.960 round pick for this situation and this player. Not to 0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.200 knock the player, but it just it does. The value 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:48.640 equation doesn't jib for me. So from David Hillman, Cowboys Found, 0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.920 Dak Prescott, Tony Poller, Tyler Biadis Dalton, show Storn's Armstrong, 0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.640 Jake Ferguson and back in the day, Anthony Hitchins all 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:56.319 his fourth round picks, most of those are in the 0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.600 Will McLay erroo. Okay, and now you've given up a 0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.520 fourth Trey Lance. That's not painting out for you right now. 0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:04.560 And now you just gave up a four four Mingle 0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:06.600 for only two and a half years of control. So 0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:08.440 even if you look at it as oh well, if 0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.279 you're fine with them using a fourth round pick on 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:14.439 a receiver next season, then maybe you're fine. I get 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.319 the logic, but you lose a year and a half 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.719 in that conversation. So when you start thinking about it 0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:22.160 in that capacity, and then you add like the tidbit 0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:25.040 that Josh added with you gave up more to get 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:30.080 Mingo than you acquired by losing Amari Cooper. Yeah, it's 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.440 it just the value equation falls short for me. 0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:35.000 So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take our 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.320 second prey. When we come back. We've got Zeus in 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.120 La on line. I want to hear from Zeus and 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.720 the fans as we continue with more talking Tuesday. 0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:47.200 Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.839 jog in the cheata Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat 0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:53.120 repellent he bought online was reliable.

Tell me what you think about this trade. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:59.920 The Cowboys trade a fourth round pick and they received 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.719 Jonathan Mingo, former second round pick out of Old Miss 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.360 in twenty twenty three at the wide receiver position, and 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:07.719 they get a seventh round in return. Just kind of 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.239 your initial thoughts after hearing the news out there on. 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:11.200 The West Coast. 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.000 Yeah, well, it was a just a position, and I 0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.160 think they did need to get a receiver just because 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:17.520 of obviously Brandon Cooks is not there. Even when he 0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:19.799 was there, he was being underutilized. Now you have an 0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.520 injury to Ceedee Lamb obviously that he'll most likely play through. 0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:25.120 Then you look at the aspect that Jalen Tolberth's not 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.080 giving you much in regards to his productivity on the field, 0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:29.880 so you did need somebody else to come in and 0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.200 be a playmaker. But when you start looking at what 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:35.160 they gave up, they gave up a fourth rounder once again, 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:37.120 just like you know last year they gave him a 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:38.640 fourth round er for a trade Lambs, which I know 0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:40.759 you guys already touched on which you're not seeing a 0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:43.880 return on investment. You probably won't see a return on 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.600 investment because he hasn't had any on field time, which 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.960 means that he's no longer a trade asset as a 0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:51.640 trade deadline approaches today. So you pretty much give away 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.400 a fourth rounder for a third or third string quarterback. 0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.800 And now you're giving away a fourth rounder just for 0:40:56.920 --> 0:41:00.520 a financial reasons and for a depth move as group 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.360 where he may or may not have an impact. A 0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:04.520 lot lot of people are going to look at it 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:05.960 and say, well, why didn't they get d Hot d 0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:07.839 Hop was a you know, they gave way a fifth 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:09.880 for d Hop or a potential fourth. Well, it was 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.440 all about the financial situation of the future, which we 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:14.760 know the Dallas Cowboys are always looking at. They're always 0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.200 trying to figure out, how can we get to the 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:20.040 most bang for our book in terms of finances and 0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.200 not necessarily the most bang for our book in terms 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.759 of productivity. And I think that's where people, their fans 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:26.880 are starting to have a little bit of frustration in 0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:29.760 terms of this conversation that continually gets given away. 0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:33.640 Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. I mean, 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:35.319 the fact to. 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:38.160 The wall the fact that there's there's going to be 0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:42.440 comparisons made with the Amari Cooper trade and the d 0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:46.359 Hop Hop trade, and the all of that is to 0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:50.359 be said in an outside of context and just kind 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.759 of put it together. This is in context. It's a 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.200 depth move for the future. 0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:55.000 That's what it is. 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:57.520 And there's nothing really more than that that you can 0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.239 kind of pull from it other than the fact that 0:41:59.280 --> 0:42:01.960 you might have over paid and center fourth round pick. 0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.120 That's the one knock against this trade. It's a big knock. 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:08.719 It's one that's not not really what you want to 0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:10.480 see at this point in time. Whenever I think all 0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:13.160 of us and Isaiah, you went on the show yesterday, 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:16.560 but would you have classified yourself as in the let's 0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.239 sell category for the Cowboys at the trade deadline as 0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:20.520 opposed to let's be buyers? 0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.080 You know, I don't think they're in a position to 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:23.520 be selling. 0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:23.759 Well. 0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.799 We talked about them coming out of training camp. They 0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:28.560 had a lot of trade assets because everybody was healthy. 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:31.200 But now you're in a situation where everybody's injured. Right, 0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:33.800 You're your top four defensive the ends are all injured. 0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:36.080 That's the most depth that you had at any position. 0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.359 Group on your on your team, and that's where all 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.799 your trade equity was at. Well, now you're down to 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:43.600 your fifth and your sixth streen defense events and now 0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:45.560 you cannot trade. Who are you going to get rid of? 0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:47.799 You don't have anybody on offense that you could trade. 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:51.040 You have nobody on defense that's trade worthy. Where where 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.279 you're going to get in return an impact player? And 0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:55.319 that's where Dallas Cowboys are at right now. If you're 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:57.200 going to make a move, you need to make a 0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:58.640 move for somebody who's going to come in and have 0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.799 immediate impact. If you're trying to save the season. Now, 0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:03.640 if you're not trying to save the season, then you're 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:07.359 making trades for the future, And that's communicating whatever your 0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:08.880 thought process is to your fan base. 0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:11.200 I'm waving the white flag. I'm not really worried about 0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:14.040 twenty twenty four. If I'm selling at the deadline, I'm 0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:17.360 waving the white flag. I get what you're saying, like 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:21.000 impact players. That's that's part of why I would kind 0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.760 of concede twenty twenty four. If I'm selling is because 0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:27.239 you look at it. Where are you going to grab a. 0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:28.200 Guy saying that? 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:31.160 Because you host the draft show man, You're you're looking 0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:33.160 out for yourself right here, buddy, No, no. 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:34.560 It's gonna be an interesting draft show. 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:35.040 I will say that. 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:37.239 I think if you're a realistic. 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:41.080 I know, right, dang it. If you're realistic, you have 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.680 to look to the future. At this point, I think 0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:47.400 just the and I know you said we're upstairs, probably 0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:52.520 overly optimistic, right, But at this point, sitting here, what 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.040 I would do is sell, sell, sell whatever you can 0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:56.239 to build that up. 0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:58.560 Yesterday, that would have been a seller, absolutely would have 0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:00.719 been a seller. But that's again, and that's two trains 0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:02.680 of thought. It's our train of thought. But then the 0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:06.040 team's train of thought is and like I articulated yesterday, 0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:08.520 if you were to be sellers, that's basically you looking 0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:10.640 at Mike McCarthy and the final year of his contract 0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:13.319 and saying, yeah, we're just setting the rest of your. 0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:14.799 Season on fire. Like that's just what it is. 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:17.440 Because yeah, but even then, no, see, like who are 0:44:17.440 --> 0:44:20.799 you selling? What are you selling? What position group? What 0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.480 position group? Do you have enough value for a player 0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:25.080 to leave your team and go make an impact on 0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:27.480 somebody else's name? What position group can you pull from? 0:44:27.600 --> 0:44:29.960 That's fair and as far as being buyers, and you know, 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.879 you go out and you buy the rights to Jonathan Mango, 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:34.239 which is basically what the trade is. 0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:34.799 For me. 0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:37.120 It's not just the compensation that's the issue. It's the 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:37.880 timing of it. 0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:38.359 Right. 0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:40.920 So again, if you make this move, you know two 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.000 three weeks ago, maybe you're not three and five. 0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:45.759 Maybe you throw that, you know, when you're. 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:47.400 Trying to come back against the forty nine ers in 0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:49.560 San Francisco, when you're on that final offense to drive 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:51.520 and you go deep left, Maybe that's not terping. 0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:52.520 Maybe that's Jonathan Mango. 0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:54.120 Maybe you come up with that ball, and then maybe 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:57.399 the butterfly effect is possibly you walk away with that win. 0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:58.360 Could be maybe. 0:44:58.400 --> 0:44:59.759 So that's what I mean when I say it's not 0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:03.000 the compensation, but it is certainly the compensation because I'm 0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:05.800 out on the fourth round pick. But if you wanted 0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:09.040 that player, you knew three weeks ago what the schedule 0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:10.880 was and that you were without Brandon Cooks and that 0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:14.480 the offense needed uh, you know, an insertion of electricity 0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:16.560 and dot dot dot dot dot. So that's what I mean. 0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:18.480 So those are my two biggest problems with it. If 0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:20.000 this was going to happen. It should have happened three 0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:24.000 weeks ago. Now that has happened. Desperation made you overpay 0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:27.080 Mmm mmm. 0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:35.280 Who's the Who's the most famous person that's standing closest 0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:35.839 to you right now? 0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:37.000 Uh? 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:40.279 The most famous person.
