1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

6
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Hey us, Welcome back to Cowboys Break, presented by s

8
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios. I remember Garcia, I joined by Nick

9
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: Himan and David Hellman. Um. I guess Derek decided that

10
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: free agency wasn't that important. You know, you guys know

11
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: I always have to give him crappit anytime he's not

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: on the show. But how are you guys doing? I mean, hey,

13
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: if he's gonna if he's gonna be gone during free agency?

14
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: The Cowboys seem to be a great team to work for,

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: so it works out probably doing good. You're saying, I'm great,

16
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm lovely, I'm lovely. No, that's good. Well, we are

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna try to talk about what's been happening since Monday

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: in free agency, relating obviously to the Cowboys, and then

19
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna go down the list and kind of talk

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: about the guys that are left under the list of

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys free agents and kind of see what we can

22
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: expect from that. But one of the bigger names that

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: has come up is obviously quarterback Andy Dalton. He has

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bears. So this

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: leads to the question with what's gonna happen at quarterback?

26
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Backup quarterback for the Cowboys. So just wanted to get

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: started with Andy Dalton and kind of something that we

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of expected to go somewhere else and possibly start

29
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: for another team. But what happens now here for the Cowboys, Well,

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I really don't know if they can do anything other

31
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: than what they've already got. I mean, and you know,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you can have it all, um, you know,

33
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: in this in this area, in this era of siler

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: cap I just don't think that the Cowboys can't afford

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: to have a forty million dollar, you know, a year

36
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: quarterback and then have a backup that's that's you know,

37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: making a lot of money. I just I think it's

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: got to be Garrett Kilbert. I think it's got to

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: be a maybe a draft pick. I mean, maybe there

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: might be somebody out there on the very, very cheap.

41
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know if they could really

42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: afford that. My rebuttal I guess would be that they

43
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: afforded it while they were paying their quarterback thirty one

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: million last year, which obviously is not forty, but you

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: can make it work. I don't know if the Cowboys

46
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: will for starters. I'm just happy for Andy, Like I know,

47
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, last season wasn't great for anybody, but he

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: took a low contract, partially because of COVID, partially because

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: this was home, partially to set himself up, and it

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: worked out. He tripled his deal from last year, and

51
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: he's going to have a chance to start. I don't

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: know what that's gonna look like, because the Bears kind

53
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: of look like a disaster from the outside, but hey,

54
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: he you know, as of right now, I think Nick

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Foles is the only person he's competing against for a

56
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: starting job, So good for him. I mean, I do

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: tend to agree with Nick. If you if you made

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: me guess right now, I would say Garrett Gilbert and

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: maybe Ben Denucci or maybe Mike McCarthy rolls the dice

60
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: on another backup, but I would guess those two young guys. Honestly,

61
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: with Dalton and Tyrod Taylor going off to market yesterday,

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of like experienced quarterback ability available,

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: like the two names that really come to mind, or

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Mitch Drubisky. Both of those guys I

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: would assume are going to try to go somewhere with

66
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to start. But if that doesn't work out,

67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: maybe they'd be willing to settle for less like Andy

68
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: Dalton did last year. Um, that could be really fun,

69
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: particularly Alex Smith in my opinion, with what Dak Prescott

70
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: said about him during his press conference last week. But

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: that's obviously a little premature, and with the with the

72
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: crunch they have against the cap, Yeah, I think I

73
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: think probably cheaper is the more likely option. I mean,

74
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be somebody, if it's a veteran,

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be somebody in the same boat

76
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: as Dalton last year. That's like you know, I mean,

77
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Dalton's arrow is pointing up because he got a chance

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: to play. It was pointing down last year, which that's

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: where the money was. I mean you said that they

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: made it work, they didn't. I mean it was thirty

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: one million for Dak. I guess what was he counting?

82
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton? Like two three, three million? It was Yeah,

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: I mean it was a It was a base of

84
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: three with a bunch of incentives tactics. He probably hits

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: some of those, I would imagine probably yeah, I made yeah,

86
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: I think he yeah, he upped it up to like

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: five I think. But with the cap going down and well,

88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, No, I was just gonna say that we

89
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: know how big since the moment Mike McCarthy got here,

90
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: we know how big he is some quarterbacks and all

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: that and the importance of it, and given the fact that, okay,

92
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: he cares so much about quarterback. We know that Dak Prescott,

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: he's coming back from an injury. He looks and he

94
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: seems healthy. We've seen the video of him working out.

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: He says he's gonna be ready when the moment matters

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: and all that. But as of right now, what would

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: like how big? Giving all the necessities that the Cowboys

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: currently have on the roster in other positions, where would

99
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: you rate quarterback? Backup quarterback? I mean, are you really

100
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: looking at backup quarterback as a really important need right now?

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys. No, I mean I think, oh, go ahead,

102
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: well I disagree again. Yeah, I just don't. I don't

103
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: think it's not when it's you know, not when it's

104
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: related to the other positions. I wouldn't put it up

105
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: there that high. I mean, we saw last year that

106
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: it was important to have, but they got the best

107
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: backup quarterback they could probably have last year and they

108
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: didn't didn't help them. I mean, if you lose Dak

109
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: it's you're playing for a draft pick probably anyway. So

110
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not putting that as a super high priority.

111
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: See I disagree because, first of all, I mean the

112
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: difference between I think the difference between what Dalton was

113
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: able to provide over the second half of the season

114
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: and what you saw from Ben Denucci. I know people

115
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: are super high on what Garrett Gilbert did against Pittsburgh,

116
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: and that's fair, but it was one game a week

117
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: after one of the most atrocious performances I can ever remember,

118
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: So I handicapped that a little bit. But my point

119
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: was going to be, you're not always going to lose

120
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: your starter for the season. You know, that's pretty rare,

121
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: but it's not that uncommon to lose your starter for one, two, three,

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: four weeks. You know, the Rams didn't have Jared Goff

123
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals didn't have Kyler Murray going into their

124
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: season finale with the playoffs spot on the line last year. Uh,

125
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Saints treaded water with Teddy Bridgewater for

126
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: five or six weeks a couple years ago when Drew

127
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Brees was hurt. And I think, you know, Andy Dalton

128
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: starting nine games is probably not going to get you

129
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: where you want to go, but if he had only

130
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: been needed for three, it could have been huge. And

131
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: so that's that's where my head is. Um Again, first

132
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: of all, there aren't that many options. You know, there

133
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: aren't very many quarterbacks left that have a significant amount

134
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: of starting experience. It would probably have to be Alex

135
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: Smith or Mitchell Trubisky, which you know, if they kick

136
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: around for a few more weeks and can't find a

137
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: deal they like, maybe it's possible. But like I said,

138
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I think I think the overwhelming likelihood is that they

139
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: go with youth, just because of the constraints they have

140
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: on their salary cap. Y go ahead, And I think,

141
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, but I think that you can make that

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: argument both ways. Like if it's only if he's only

143
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: probably going to be hurt two or three games, then

144
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: you could say, well, if it's two or three games,

145
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know we're gonna we're not gonna

146
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: win those anyways. I mean, you're not gonna win them.

147
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think those backup quarterbacks that you get.

148
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, Andy Dalton came in in his first week

149
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: and he was he was terrible against Arizona. That wasn't

150
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, that wasn't his best game. And he didn't

151
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: play that well the next week against Washington even though

152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: they didn't have a chance. But so, I mean, I

153
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: think you could mismake the argument both sides, like, well,

154
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: if it's only gonna be two or three games, then

155
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe you can get by with with And Garrett Gilbert

156
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: is kind of intriguing because he is a veteran, but

157
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: he's still he's been around, he just hasn't played a

158
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: whole lot, and he's cheap. He's a cheap veteran that's

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: that's been around. So that might that might be the

160
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: only way, the only option that they really have anyways,

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: just because they just don't have a lot of money. Yeah,

162
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: And I think I made I think I made that

163
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: joke back in like January that I mean, for the

164
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: circumstances he was in. Garrett Gilbert played great against Pittsburgh,

165
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are gonna use that, plus

166
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: his cost, his very team friendly cost, to say, well,

167
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: we feel good about what he can do, and we'll

168
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: keep you know, we'll keep developing Benda Nucci or you know,

169
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: maybe we'll use another flyer on a draft pick. That's

170
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: that's what I expect to happen. But me personally, I

171
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: have a lot more appreciation for the value of a

172
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: quarterback who's been there and done that. And you know,

173
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's probably not in the cards for the Cowboys

174
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: this year, but I still think it would be a

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: good idea. Well, Gilbert did show some potential in that

176
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: one game that we did get to see from him

177
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: last year. But Dave In, you know, another position that

178
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: can help the quarterback position, and we know it's very important,

179
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: is the tackle position. The Cows are expecting to have

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Lyell Callins and turning Smith back into lineup and all that,

181
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: but one of the moves that did happen during free

182
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: agency earlier this week was swing tackle Cam Irving he

183
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: agreed on a two year deal with the Panthers. The

184
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, and although he wasn't necessarily a guy that

185
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: contributed much to the position, he because of injuries and

186
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: all that, it's still another body to add depth there

187
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: at the position. The Cowboys did agree a one year

188
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: deal with tackle Tie and I cannot. I was like,

189
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: let's let's hear it, Insecki. It's actually once you once

190
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: you hear it and see it, it's like, oh, that

191
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense. It's Tie insecky. But I'm sek

192
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: all right coming from the Buffalo, So I just wanted

193
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: to get your input and kind of your evaluation. I

194
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: know he's not necessarily a big name guy, but what

195
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: do you guys think about him? And that near addition

196
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: to to the position? Uh, you know in the in

197
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: the press conference that they that they're going to have

198
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: later today and to explain all these moves. I can't

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: wait to ask him about it. Um, I'm joking because

200
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: they're probably not doing that. UM. I don't understand it,

201
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: and I don't have to understand it because no one's

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: really explaining it. Does doesn't make sense to me. He's

203
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: got seventeen starts in seven years. I don't know anything

204
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: about him, and I know that he hasn't been good

205
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: enough to start. I know he's from Arlington, Texas, so

206
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that's cool, but you know, I don't know. I mean,

207
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a lot of a lot of sense.

208
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: And so you know, as Rob Phillips I think pointed

209
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: out when we talked about it, he's got one more

210
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: start than Terrence Steele. So I don't know. I'm not

211
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: expecting a whole lot out of him because he hasn't.

212
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: He hasn't been that guy in his career. Does does

213
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: he at least have less injury history as Cam Irving?

214
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: It harder to tell. He's only Yeah, I mean he's

215
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: he's that's he's he's been available, but yeah, he hasn't

216
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: been a regular starter. Yeah. Without trying, without trying to

217
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: sound too much like a smart alec, I mean, you

218
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: can sort of just do the cowboys off. You can

219
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: do their free agency, like as Phil in the blank,

220
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: Like the story is the same, the name is different.

221
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: It's the same signing as Cam Irving or or Cam Fleming.

222
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: In my opinion, like a you know, a guy that

223
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: has been around the league has started is not very expensive. Uh,

224
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: probably doesn't thrill you if he actually has to play

225
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: a lot, but can be here. And you know, if

226
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did have a press conference, which they probably won't,

227
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: but if they did, they would say something along the

228
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: lines of, well, you know, this opens us up to

229
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: be true in the draft, and you know we don't

230
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: have a glaring need at offensive tackle because we have

231
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: this guy, but we could still draft one if we

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: need to. It's like like the Cowboys basically have a

233
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: manual at this point and they check it off. They're like,

234
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: all right, we resigned some key special teamers. We got

235
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: a vetter great but might be good enough, and you know,

236
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: hopefully it works out better than the other ones have

237
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: because the other ones haven't been awesome. Hopefully that's not

238
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: all they do at the position. So I think the draft.

239
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: I think in the draft, yeah, I thought you were

240
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: making like a three eight. Yes, yeah, I don't think

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: they expected. What did what did Irving get? Like? Nine?

242
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Did he get nine? Two years, five million years? I

243
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: think it's two for ten with eight guaranteed or something

244
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, good for him, I mean that, he

245
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I think that I think that was being

246
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: him being a first round pick because he didn't do

247
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: anything last year to kind of show that, oh, you know,

248
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. I mean he you know,

249
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: he was he was sick when he first got here

250
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt twice and m he played okay,

251
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: I think when he was here, but I mean he

252
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: was battling with Terrence Steele for playing time. So um,

253
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's what this is. I think

254
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: that they covered themselves with a little bit more of

255
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: a veteran guy. But I think that if whatever depth

256
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: chart they have on their board, I would imagine Terrence

257
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Steele is still he's probably ahead of this guy. It

258
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me based on everything we saw from Terrence

259
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Steele last year. And I'm yeah, like I I you know,

260
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: and I'm at like, I'm somewhat familiar with Niseki because

261
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: he was he was a reserve for Washington for several

262
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I got that was where he got the vast majority

263
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: of his playing time was with Washington. Whenever Trent Williams

264
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: or Morgan Moses was unavailable, Um, he would step in

265
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: and he seemed fine. But yeah, like I'm I'm not

266
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: about to sell this as the Cowboys solving their swing

267
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: tackle problem. If anything, I think, you know, it's probably

268
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: a three way competition right now between him and Brandon

269
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Knight and Terrence Steele, and you know, maybe they'll add

270
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: a guy in the draft as well. I hate saying that,

271
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: especially coming from me talking to you guys, But why

272
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: is he so old? Like he's thirty five years old?

273
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't, well, it don't. It didn't add up, Like

274
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: where's this? I mean, seven year pro thirty five, I

275
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: mean played baseball for six years. I mean, what's going on?

276
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm I think he did it. Actually, Uh, he had

277
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: an extensive like he's been out of college since two

278
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. He played, Yeah, he played a lot

279
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: of like Arena league football. I think, yeah, he played

280
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: a lot of Arena league football. And I don't think

281
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: he got to the NFL until twenty twelve, and then

282
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: he went back. He went back to Arena league for

283
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: a little while too, Like he's, oh andy, there's some

284
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: CFL on this resume. Yeah, my man. I mean, you know,

285
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: it's easy to crack jokes, but like, good on him,

286
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Like that's a hell of a success story to turn

287
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: that into. You know, you've been on three or four

288
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: NFL teams and signed three or four contracts. I mean,

289
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: good for you, so I have in my story then

290
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: I said that he played high school ball right right

291
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: next to or near AT and T Stadium. Uh, not

292
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: exactly true. He probably like he played it next to

293
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: the construction. He's probably an it next to the construction site. Yeah, yeah,

294
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: I got it. Hang, I thought that was safe there.

295
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: This places it open eleven years all right. Well, definitely

296
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: not not anything, not anything, not anyone exciting, but an

297
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: extra body and quote unquote some veteran experience, if you

298
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: can call that veteran experience. But we'll see. Hopefully the

299
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys do better in this free agency. So far, there

300
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been any splash right now, which people hate, but

301
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: we know that's kind of the Cowboys trend and what

302
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: they usually do by moving on to the on the

303
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: list to the wide receiver position. We know that the

304
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys did agree on a contract and on a one

305
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: year deal with wide receiver Noah Brown, and then they

306
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: are expected to give Cedric Wilson the tender. So two

307
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: guys that we've talked about on the show. Any surprises here,

308
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: good or bad? Are you guys happy with kind of

309
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: those decisions that the Cowboys have made. With those two guys.

310
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's been like a there's been a tone

311
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: of sarcasm, I think to the entire opening of the show,

312
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: which is totally fair in my opinion. But I genuinely

313
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: they have done a few things that I genuinely love.

314
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: And bringing back Noah Brown and Cedric Wilson or two

315
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: of them, because I neither one of them was expensive.

316
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: They've both you know, they're both well familiar with everything

317
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: that's asked of them here. You know, Noah's been here

318
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen, Cedric's been here since twenty eighteen. I

319
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: hesitate to use the term break out because you know,

320
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: they were still role players last year, but they certainly

321
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: made their biggest contributions yet to the team, and it

322
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: certainly looked like they were both going to have bigger

323
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: roles before Dak got hurt. I think you kind of

324
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: pair things down when you lose your starting quarterback. Obviously,

325
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: Cedric had that amazing game in Seattle, you know, a

326
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: week or two before Dak went down, and now you know,

327
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: you keep your receiver corep intact and it keeps you

328
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: from really having to do anything. You know, maybe maybe

329
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: they want to draft a guy to deal with maybe

330
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: losing Michael Gallup, but that could also be a problem

331
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: for next year. You know, you could tag Gallop, you

332
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: could do something with a Mari's contract. So I like

333
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: this because it keeps the group in tac for at

334
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: least one more year, and you know, you can make

335
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: some hard decisions next year. But on a team with

336
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: this many holes to fill, it's nice to think that,

337
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: you know wide receiver, you don't have to do anything

338
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: with it right now, because I think one through five

339
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: that's about as good as you could ask for, in

340
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: my opinion, Dave, I didn't even I should have looked

341
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: this up. What is the Noah Brown's salary? What did

342
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: they pay for him? I honestly, I don't think the

343
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: terms have even been disclosed, because you know, it's technically

344
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: I know, you can resign your own like you can

345
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: resign your own during the tampering period. But I don't

346
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: think any of these guys have actually signed their deals.

347
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: But I have a hard time believing Noah Brown is

348
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: going to make more than you know, a million or two.

349
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: Like I, it just you know, Cris Cedric's tag is

350
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: for two million dollars. I can't that would be more

351
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: than that. I thought that was a little high. Actually,

352
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have done that if I

353
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys. You know, you don't have to you

354
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: don't have to give him a restricted tender. You could

355
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: just sign him to whatever you want. I think I

356
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: probably would have done that two point one million dollars.

357
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: I'm okay with doing that for Antoine Woods, but I

358
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: mean for Cedric Wilson. I'm you know, I hear what

359
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: you're saying about having that intact, but you know, I

360
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: just I feel like you could probably they could probably

361
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: get him cheaper than that, and I don't believe that's guaranteed,

362
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: so they don't necessarily have to to to keep him

363
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: if they if they want to, you know, move him.

364
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: He did make some good strides though last year, especially

365
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: when with with dak So. I would imagine he'll be

366
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: a regular at the at the Prescott Ranch or whatever

367
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: they they're calling his his his field over there, Yeahike Yard, Yeah,

368
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: that's das guy, no doubt. So hey and may you know, hey,

369
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: when you're the when you're the forty million dollars face

370
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: of the franchise. Maybe maybe Dak's got that cache where

371
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: he's like, how about y'all under my guy and just

372
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't go anywhere. That's true, he's got that. Now, Well,

373
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take a quick break. When we

374
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: come back, we'll just keep going down the line on

375
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: this list. And Nick, you did mention Antwoine Woods, So

376
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: he's up next on the right Cowboys free agency list. Honey,

Speaker 1: And I was at the Stars Welcome back to the

420
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: Break now, Mega. I was at the Star District actually

421
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: last night, and I saw Joe Looney there, so I

422
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: don't And I was kind of talking to him briefly,

423
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: kind of yelled at him and he yelled back, but

424
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got the sense he might be

425
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: coming back. Did you get any formation. Well, I was

426
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: kind of loud in there, and he was kind of

427
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: gone up and he was excited, you know, just because

428
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: he was excited, I think he'd be you know, he'd

429
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: be excited even if he heard some really bad news.

430
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just that's just the guy he is.

431
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: But I get the sense that he might be coming back,

432
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Joe Looney back in Dallas. We'll seecred to know. Okay,

433
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: but you can you can do all that at the

434
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: Star District. You never know who you're gonna see at

435
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: the Star District. Honestly, that's not even that's not even

436
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: me trying to sell it. Like, hang out there enough,

437
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: you'll probably run into somebody interesting. Like it's just I mean,

438
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: it's right there next to the facility, so you never

439
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: know who's gonna pop out to grab something to eat

440
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. Right, could be David Hillman, could be Meekman.

441
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: You never know. I was thinking about like legitimately important people.

442
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, that too. You guys are important too. Um okay,

443
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: moving on to the defensive tackle position, Nick, I'm gonna

444
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: throw it back to you with Antoine Woods, he is

445
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: expected to receive the tender thoughts on this, Um, how

446
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: are you guys feeling about that decision? Yeah? I I

447
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: like him. I've always liked his game. I think it

448
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it fits. We'll see how it fits in

449
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: this kind of scheme, in this newer scheme, but it's

450
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: it's a scheme that they've that marion Elli ran pretty

451
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: much a couple of years ago, so and I thought

452
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: he did well in that too. So, um, I think

453
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a good fit. Um, you know, he

454
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: was probably hoping for a bigger deal. I know he's

455
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: been looking for Yeah, yeah, he's been. He's been, he's

456
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: been seeking a bigger deal. I mean, he probably thought

457
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: he was going to get a better contract when he

458
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: joined up with Drew Rosenhouse as his agent long time ago.

459
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: So you know, he probably wasn't anticipating this. But where

460
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: they are with their defensive tackles, they've got some young

461
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: guys with Gallimore Tristan Hill. You know, I think he

462
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: fits in there. I still think they need a bigger body,

463
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: but I don't know if that's going to happen. I

464
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't foresee the him getting Gerald McCoy. I

465
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. So I think he's

466
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, he's probably going to be the veteran of

467
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: the group, especially if Tyrone Crawford retires, like it's being

468
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, like that's being anticipated that he will. I

469
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: feel bad for Antoine because the I mean, the brutal

470
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: reality is like, if you're an undrafted player, you gotta

471
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: work really hard to reach true free agency. You know,

472
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: like he was an exclusive rights free agent last year,

473
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: which means that Cowboys had like they could tender him

474
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: for an even cheaper price, and nobody could even you know,

475
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: at least now under the restricted tender, another team could

476
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: potentially make him an offer. They couldn't even do that

477
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: last year. And now it's you know, it's very unlikely.

478
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: Restricted free agents don't typically get offer sheets. It doesn't

479
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: happen very often. So you know, Antoine, Antoine entered the

480
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: league in twenty fifteen, and it'll be twenty twenty two

481
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: before he can enter true free agency and kind of

482
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: name his own price. That's that sucks, but it is

483
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: what it is. I'm I'm happy to have him back.

484
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: You know. I love his demeanor and what he brings

485
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: to the team. You know, no offense to him, I don't.

486
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's enough. You know, the trio of him,

487
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill and Neville Gallimore, like, I like that, but

488
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't love it. Gerald McCoy whatever, you know, I

489
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: don't think damakinsue is likely to come here. I I

490
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: spit out my coffee this morning when I saw what

491
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: the Lions had to give up to get Michael Brocker's

492
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you told me I could

493
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: get a guy like that for a future seventh round

494
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: pick and his cap hit is only eight million dollars,

495
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: it seems like a heck of a deal to me.

496
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: But doesn't seem likely. Um, you know what's going on

497
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: with Jerald McCoy because a couple of weeks we were

498
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: talking about him and it seemed like we all thought

499
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: that he might be back with the Cowboys. Do you

500
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: guys know what wasn't exactly is happening with him. I

501
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: was just told that that's probably not going to happen. Um,

502
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't That doesn't mean that it won't. I mean

503
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe that's has something to do with his price and

504
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: his price tag, but um, the way it went down

505
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: last year, you know, and they even said, well, we

506
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: might bring him back, but that I don't know, Dave,

507
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: that just never seemed like that was that was a

508
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: situation that that's gonna be like reconnected, just the way

509
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: it you know, when you when you say, hey, we're

510
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna put a stipulation on this contract based on your

511
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: right quad. We don't know, we don't know if we trusted.

512
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: And then a week later the right quad blows out,

513
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: and then it's like, ah, okay, well we're releasing you.

514
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just doesn't seem like you're just

515
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: gonna a year later be like, hey, welcome back. I

516
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know it did it made me interested just the

517
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: fact you know that he stayed in touch with all

518
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: of these guys, you know, Neville Gallimore credited him as

519
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, constantly being in his ear and being willing

520
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: to talk to him, even despite not even you know,

521
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: guy wasn't even on IR, he wasn't on the team,

522
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: but he still took an interest in these guys that

523
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: he had only known for a couple of months. Yeah,

524
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: well that's a good that's a great point. Actually, I

525
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about that, but either, I mean maybe, but

526
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: I yeah, I guess, I guess. I wouldn't have bet

527
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: on it, but maybe. And that's what I was going

528
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: to say, ag is like the unfortunate reality is the

529
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna wait and see how the market shakes out,

530
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, I mean technically the league year doesn't open

531
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: for another few hours, Like this has all been the

532
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: legal tampering period, and there's I mean, there's still a

533
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: lot of interesting talent out there and a lot of

534
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of stuff left to develop.

535
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: This doesn't affect the Cowboys, but just as an example,

536
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: this free agent receiver market is just not happening at all.

537
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, Kenny Golladay and Juju Smith Schuster are just

538
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: sitting out there, and you know, there's a lot of

539
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of similar situations, like when are we

540
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: going to see these veteran cornerbacks start to signed? Patrick Peterson,

541
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, A J. Bouyer, Like where are those guys

542
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: going to go? And how much money are they going

543
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: to command? And you know it's frustrating to hear, but

544
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to see how all those dominoes

545
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: fall and they're probably gonna keep an eye on who's

546
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: still available in the next you know, four to seven days,

547
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: and that's those are the names that will start circling.

548
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: It's just it's not in their mo to be involved

549
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: in this free Well, let's go ahead and jump into

550
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. Since you mentioned that position. I mean,

551
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: Chidoya Woozia was a guy that we all expected him

552
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: to be gone during the free agency. He's expected to

553
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: sign a three year contract with the Bengals and then

554
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: c J. Goodwin that's a good sign for the Cowboys.

555
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: They are expecting to sign him on a two year

556
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: deal and he has been a big contributor and on

557
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: special teams for the Cowboys. So cornerback position, big position

558
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys that we know they do need help.

559
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this other than than what was expected. I mean,

560
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: we do have Jordan Lewis that's still kind of helping

561
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: the air. What are you guys expecting there to happen? Well,

562
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: I do think the I think the CJ. Goodwin move

563
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: is is a good one. I don't I don't even

564
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: know if he's um he liked what I did. They're

565
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: a good one, um he um. You know, he's not

566
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: really a corner He's more of a special teams guy.

567
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what you know. That's what he does.

568
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: When when you see good plays on special teams, it

569
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: always seems like he's around there, whether it's he's getting

570
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: the watermelon kick or downing the ball. On the one

571
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: yard line, or or getting a fumble or taking an

572
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: eighty yards against Pittsburgh on that trick play. I mean,

573
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: he's the captain, he's leading a tackler, and I think

574
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: that's a really good get for for the special teams

575
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: units there. It sounds like there's gonna be some shake

576
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: ups going on and all over the special teams, but uh,

577
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: that's a good good get there and all that day.

578
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: I'll let you talk about Cheeto and George and what

579
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: you think will happen there. Yeah, I did. I mean

580
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: a gain. Like I said, you're not gonna hear me

581
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: say anything sarcastic about CJ. Goodwin. I love that signing

582
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot, like every team needs a guy like that,

583
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: and I did, like people ask about that, and it's

584
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: no offense to CJ. Goodwin. I don't even think about

585
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: him as a cornerback like this. This team was banged

586
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: up at corner all year last year, and they turned

587
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: over every stone to bring in guys like Stephen Parker

588
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: and Richard Robinson. They did all of that before CJ.

589
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: Goodwin got a look, because that's how far down the

590
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: depth chart he was. But he is an incredible special

591
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: teams guy. You know, our buddy Danny McCrae was kind

592
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: of like that years ago, and they're just they're invaluable.

593
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: They block punts, they down punts, they tackle guys before

594
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: they can return. The fake punt was amazing. Like, I

595
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: love stories like that, and guys like that are really valuable.

596
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: So I'm pumped that he's here. Um Cheeto. You know,

597
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Honestly, his deal was small than

598
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: I thought it would be, but it was still pretty

599
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: damn big. I mean, up to twenty two million. I

600
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati guaranteed him ten million in the first year

601
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: of his deal, which is really nice for a guy

602
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: that spent half of the last season hurt. You know,

603
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: he's only twenty five years old, he's art and he's

604
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: started forty games at twenty five. That's pretty that's pretty impressive.

605
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: And you know, I had a long conversation about this

606
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter yesterday. Probably didn't live up to the expectations

607
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: that you put on a second round draft pick, obviously

608
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: given that he didn't sign a second contract here, but

609
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: still a solid player, a good dude, good locker room guy,

610
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: Like I don't have anything bad to say about Cheeto.

611
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: It's just you can't keep everybody, especially if if they

612
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: don't measure up to what you need. So great for

613
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: him that he was able to get that deal, I

614
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think Jordan would get as big

615
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: of a deal. And that's why I'm at least optimistic

616
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: that that the Cowboys might be able to resign him,

617
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: because I think you can get him at a lower number,

618
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: similar to what they did with Anthony Brown last year,

619
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: and I would if they're able to do it, I

620
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: would love that because that would give you, you know,

621
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: two guys that are capable of playing in the slot,

622
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: two veterans that have been here that understand the scheme,

623
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: and it obviously wouldn't stop them from drafting a cornerback

624
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: with a high pick. So I don't know if that's

625
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: going to happen. I think the Cowboys are interested in

626
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: making it happen. So that's that's something to watch. I

627
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: see that. I do see that happen. Sorry, I see

628
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: that happening as far as him resigning, because I just

629
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to go into the draft

630
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: with an absolute need. I mean, you want to have

631
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: some needs. But I think if you just had Anthony

632
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: Brown and Trey Von Diggs. I mean, there's everybody would

633
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: know you've got to take a corner right there at ten,

634
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: and then you probably got to come back around in

635
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: the third or fourth round and get another one. So

636
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could resign Jordan Lewis, it's still

637
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: it's still a high need, and I still think it

638
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: would be their top priority in the first round. But

639
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: I you know, I just you don't have to. You

640
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: kind of cove yourself a little bit there. It kind

641
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: of it goes back to what I was saying about

642
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: following a manual, Like it's it's very it's it's a

643
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: very similar story to what we hear every year, Like

644
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: you say, oh, well, if we resigned George and we've

645
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: got Jordan Lewis, Anthony Brown and Treyvon Diggs. Probably not

646
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: excited about going into a season with that being our

647
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: top three, but at least you could do it. And

648
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with ty Niseki is like, don't

649
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: love the thought of him being the third offensive tackle,

650
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: but at least now we're not in the position where

651
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: we're forced to spend one of our first two picks

652
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: on an offensive tackle. I think. I mean, that's the

653
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: thought process. I'm not saying anybody has to be thrilled

654
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: about it, but that's the thought process. Well, we'll see

655
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: what they do with Jordan Lewis boy outside from their

656
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: own guys. We've seen it in the past where the

657
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys end up getting a guy that's kind of interchangeable

658
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: between safety and cornerback position and it's not necessarily a

659
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: big name guy, but they're always like, oh, if we

660
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: need them at this position, they can move. There are

661
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: there any names out there that you guys might think

662
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: of at the top of your head right now that

663
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: could possibly be that kind of guy that could come

664
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: in have some veteran experiencing them and also have that

665
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: kind of flexibility as well. Yes, yeah, there are some names,

666
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: and you know, they're names that people like to throw

667
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: out there all the time. Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson, you know.

668
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be interesting to see though, before

669
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: you go that route, is are they going to get

670
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: a safety, like a real safety, one that's actually done

671
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: and in the game. And there's a perception people have

672
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: done this for years. They think if you're a seven,

673
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: eight year, ten year veteran corner that's lost a step,

674
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: you just slide over to safety. I mean, it's natural,

675
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: and that's not the way it works. You've got to

676
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: be a smart guy. You've got to understand that the scheme.

677
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: You've got to be willing to tackle. It's not just

678
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: an older corner. Just because Rod Woodson, who's in the

679
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame did it and some others have done it,

680
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's an easy transition. That being said,

681
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: is there a smarter person out there that's playing football

682
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: than Richard Sherman? Not sure. That's a smart guy. If

683
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: anyone can do it, I think he can do it,

684
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: and I would love that signing, I really would. I

685
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: know that that. I just think that would be so

686
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: fun if he was here, and I think he'd be

687
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: a good player. But you know, we'll see what the

688
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: money's like and how if he could really transition. I

689
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: don't think he's ready to transition to safety though. Yeah.

690
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean him and Patrick Peterson both I think can

691
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: probably still make some money playing cornerback. But I guess

692
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: we'll see. But would you hate that, Dave? If Patrick

693
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Pierson came here, I would do a fricking black flip.

694
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: Where does he ranked on the all time Tigers in

695
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: your list. I mean he's not He's not a hit

696
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: on Honey Badger top five for sure. Yeah, I mean

697
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: it's him, Joe Honey Badger. Um those I mean those

698
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: are probably the big three. I could come up with

699
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: a few more. Um No, But I mean that's that's

700
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: it's it's exciting. It's exciting, but frustrating because there there's

701
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: a lot of talented football players out here. Like we've

702
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: talked about this, teams have had to do a lot

703
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: of drastic stuff to get under the salary cap. Like

704
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: even even with most of the big big days, like,

705
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: there are still guys that I think can still play.

706
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: Like a guy that I've talked about a lot for

707
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Who a Texas guy. I'm sure he would

708
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: love a chance to play for the Cowboys. Kenny Vaccaro.

709
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: Trey Boston is one. Nineteenth time we've talked about the

710
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn connection with some of the Atlanta players like

711
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Demante kaze Kean O'Neil, Ricardo Alan, who else. I'm just

712
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: looking at the name right now, Like there, I mean

713
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys have hit the market because of

714
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: these cap constraints. The question and it goes back to

715
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: kind of letting the dominoes fall. How long are the

716
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys gonna wait and how low does the price have

717
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: to get before they express an interest in any of

718
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: these guys, And that's I think it's a waiting game,

719
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: and I understand that it's a frustrating waiting game. But

720
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: hopefully when they do decide to dip their toe in

721
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: the water, because they will, I mean, we do this

722
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: every year, like every year, everybody's very frustrated and sarcastic

723
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: for the first few days, and they eventually dip their

724
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: toe in the water. I'm not saying obviously the signings

725
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: haven't been great, but they'll they'll target some guys eventually,

726
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully when they finally decide to do that, there's

727
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: still some better players available than they usually are. Well,

728
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: when you see teams like the Patriots making big, splashing moves,

729
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard out to get for us traded

730
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: and say, hey, when aren't we making a big splash

731
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: or I mean, I know that Dak Prescott was the

732
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: biggest splash right now, but still in free agency itself,

733
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: it's just, uh, it's always frustrating. You know, every year

734
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: you gotta remember too about about you know, the Patriots,

735
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: Like if if if the Cowboys had let Dak Prescott

736
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: go and he goes and wins the Super Bowl, then

737
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: the next year you got all this money, then you

738
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: better go do something because they have egg on their face.

739
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they let the greatest quarterback of all time

740
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: go to another team and they won a super Bowl

741
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: in their first year. You better go do something and

742
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: spending your money and go get get some guys. And

743
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I give them credit, they've they've done it,

744
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: but they're they're you know, they took they got their

745
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: ass kicked last year, you know, both literally and then

746
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: also like in the media and all that stuff. So

747
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: they're fighting back. You know, Belichick's not gonna sit back

748
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and take that. But I'm just saying, you're right what

749
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: you just said, Cowboys. You can't get all excited a

750
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: week ago, go finally we go, finally got Dak. I'm

751
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: so glad we got him. And then wonder where the

752
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: money is. I mean, that's that's where the money is. Yeah,

753
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: And I'll definitely I'll defend the Cowboys on that front

754
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: all day, every day. The Patriots. Bill Belichick's great he's

755
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: arguably the best coach ever. What they have done speaks

756
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: for itself. But they they are a talent poor team

757
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: right now, or they were before they spent all that money.

758
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: They haven't drafted all that well. They don't have Tom

759
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: Brady or Grunk anymore. They let their best guard walk

760
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: in free agency. They've got a few guys on defense.

761
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: You know, Stefan Gilmour is still a good player. Donte

762
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: high Tower opted out of the season, But like, didn't

763
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: have any good receivers, didn't have any good tight ends,

764
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: had a you know, a stable of like okay running backs. Obviously,

765
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: don't have a top tier quarterback, so they better spend

766
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: some damn money. Yeah, you know, it's basically like they did.

767
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: They did the same thing that the Jags and the

768
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: Browns do every other year, which is to say they

769
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: were terrible, didn't have any talent, so they went out

770
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: into free agency to try to fix it. The only

771
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: differences We're used to seeing the Patriots contend for Super Bowls,

772
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: so it seems weird to see them do that. But

773
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: I would, and you can make all the snarky comments

774
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: you want. I know, the Cowboys were bad last year.

775
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have talented players, like the Patriots would love

776
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: to have any of the Cowboys' best six or seven players,

777
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: including their quarterback. So I will defend the Cowboys on

778
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: that front that I would rather have a bunch of

779
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: good players under contract and not have a ton of

780
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: money to spend than have to go out and sign

781
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: other people's players because I don't have any good ones. Yeah,

782
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: and you know, last last week, I will say this,

783
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I will say this. I do. What I

784
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: do like about what the Patriots have done is that

785
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: it's their willing willingness to adapt. You know, I don't don't.

786
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why you have to have one

787
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: way that you do it. You know, Steven Jones said

788
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: it the other day, and I respectfully disagree. Actually was saying,

789
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: you know, we feel like, well, I don't agree with

790
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: him saying we feel like the best way is to

791
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: build through the I agree with that that is the

792
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: best way. It's the cheapest way, but it doesn't always work.

793
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: I think you've got to have a willingness to adapt

794
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, this year, we do need

795
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: to add a little bit more pieces. We need to

796
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: be more aggressive in free agency, we're gonna make a

797
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: splash early, just be able to do. It's not one

798
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: way that's worked because in twenty we all know it's

799
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: been well documented. In twenty five years it has not worked.

800
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: So I don't really understand why there's all you always

801
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: have the same approach all the time. I would like

802
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: to see a different approaching out. They just don't have

803
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: the money, that's one thing, but there's been some years

804
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: that they have some and I think that they need

805
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: to alter the approach a little bit more than they do,

806
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: which and that's I mean, we obviously we can agree

807
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: on that. That's the frustrating thing to me is not

808
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: that they don't spend big. It's that it's this zero

809
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: or sixty approach. They're like the only way to do

810
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: it is to spend no money, or you go like

811
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, twenty twelve and drop fifty million dollars on

812
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: a cornerback like they did with Brandon Carr. Like you

813
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be that way. I mean, it

814
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: was only it was only two years ago. What did

815
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: they trade to get Robert Quinn like a fifth Yeah,

816
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: Like that's the stuff that aggravates me again, I know,

817
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: Michael Brocker's cap hit is big, but you can find

818
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: a way to make that work. And all Detroit gave

819
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: up to get him was a future seventh round pick.

820
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: We see teams do stuff like that all the time,

821
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: Like your draft picks aren't that valuable? You can use

822
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: them to go get talented players and ms he was

823
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Yeah, he was sure. That wasn't like

824
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: a player to be named later. You know what do

825
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: you mean, wasn't he was just Oh, as part of

826
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: the golf deal. Yeah, I will say, in fairness to

827
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: in fairness to the Cowboys, the Lions, GM used to

828
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: work for the Rams. Yeah, So like that's an I mean,

829
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: that's an And I don't want to get too hung

830
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: up on the specific trade. My point is trades like

831
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: this happen in the NFL every single year. The Cowboys

832
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: did it with Robert Quinn and it worked out really well. Yeah,

833
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: and that just it seems stuff like that often enough,

834
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: Like nobody's asking you to go sign an eighty million

835
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: dollar contract, but you got to do more than scrape

836
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel. You've been doing that for

837
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: a decade and it hasn't done anything. Well, we gave

838
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: them praise by the way they structure DA's deal in

839
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: the way and the amount of money that they were

840
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: able to save for this year, and we talked about

841
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: how they might possibly use that obviously a diff agency.

842
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: So my next question when we come back from the

843
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: break is do you guys expect the Cowboys to use

844
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: that money that they currently have to evenly kind of

845
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: distribute it and address several positions or is there a

846
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: position that you feel that the Cowboys could spend a

847
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: little bit more in free agency? Not necessarily a big,

848
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: big old splash, but a little splash that can get

849
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: someone what from like someone that's standing by the pool

850
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: over there, you know. So when we come back from

851
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: the break, I want you guys to let me know

852
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: if there's a name out there are not necessarily a name,

853
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: but at least a position that the Cowboys might be

854
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: able to do that with. Since eighteen sixty five, Stetson

898
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: big olds or just kind of wet your feed and

899
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: kind of see if it's cold or not, and then

900
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: slowly get in the pool type of uh splash. That

901
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: was terrible. That was a terrible analogy. But I don't

902
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: care whatever, who's gonna do. Just give me a name

903
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: a position. You're looking for a cannonball, right, You're looking

904
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: for a cannonball that's gonna just like get everybody wet,

905
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: which that was last week. They did that. They made

906
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: the big splash last week. But to answer your question,

907
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: and I've said this before, like like, is there is

908
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: there a position that you're like, we're just gonna get

909
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: We're not just gonna spread this around. We're gonna get

910
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: one guy. We're gonna sign one big guy here. Um,

911
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: I would probably do a center. And I don't call

912
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: that the most intriguing position or the most needed position,

913
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, and I've made it clear,

914
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: I think Nick Martin would be a good addition. I

915
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: think that if you get a big time safety corner,

916
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a chance he's good. Maybe he doesn't.

917
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen where they they they don't play well,

918
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: their first round pick, they're a former pro bowler, they

919
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: come here and it just doesn't work out. If you

920
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: signed a guy like Nick Martin or or a center

921
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: that can really solidify the position. I just don't think

922
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna suck. He's not gonna suck. You put him

923
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: next to Zach Martin, you put him next to Connor Williams,

924
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: or you put him whoever on that line. I just

925
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna suck. And I think that that

926
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: you have the best chance to get a really good

927
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: player if you get a guy there to help your

928
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: the middle of your offense. That's I mean, it's it's exciting,

929
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: but also frustrating. Age. It's kind of like what I said,

930
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: because right now, again the league year hasn't even opened,

931
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: but right now I think there's more capable veterans that

932
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: can still play at a high level available than there

933
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: usually is because of all of the things teams have

934
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: had to do to get under the cap. The question is,

935
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: how are those markets going to develop and are those guys?

936
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: Will any of those guys be cheap enough that the

937
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys would take a look, Like I could go down

938
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: the list of guys that I think still might be

939
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: able to give you something. Uh Kawan Short, I know

940
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with injuries, but again, if you sign

941
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: him low enough, it's low risk, high reward. Jurrell Casey

942
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: is a name that is intriguing to me. Anybody that

943
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: was tied to Dan Quinn in Atlanta is intriguing to me.

944
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: Whether that's Keyan O'Neil, Demante, Kazi, Ricardo Allen. Oh geez,

945
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: there's I already mentioned some of the safeties, Kenny Vacaro

946
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: and interesting. Getting the head of the Cowboys close your

947
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: eyes and think like you're Stephen Jones. Oh that's what

948
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: That's what makes it frustrating is because if I got

949
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: on the head of the Cowboys, they'd probably just be like,

950
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: oh no, he wants to well hold on, if we're

951
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: doing that. If we're doing that, that we're gonna sign

952
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third That's that's a that's a guy

953
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: that they would sign because he's come here, he's beat

954
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: their ass on Thanksgiving, even though it was ten years ago.

955
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: He's done. You know, he's a name, he's Texas guy.

956
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, he'll be relatively cheap. I think, so, yeah,

957
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a quarterback obviously, but it's those type

958
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: of those type of guys. There's just unfortunately, I mean

959
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: I think it just depends on how some of this

960
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: stuff plays out. I think I think there's probably a

961
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: dozen or more guys that they would have interest in signing,

962
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: but only at a price that they like. And that's

963
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's it's going to take time for

964
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: some of this stuff to sort itself out and for

965
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: them to do well. I think that's why everything they've

966
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: done so far has other than Niseki every like, the

967
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: majority of what they've done has just been tying up

968
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: loosens with their own guys and and we'll see, Like

969
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it might not take a week, but I

970
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: just think it's a it's a slow play. It always

971
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: is with these guys. So what what I'm hoping is

972
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: that when this kind of first spree of spending is over,

973
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: is that there's still a healthy amount of like veteran

974
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: players looking for that's because of the cap situation. That's

975
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: if I'm trying to offer you hope that the Cowboys

976
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: are going to sign talented players. I think that is

977
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: that's the hope. Yeah, Can we at least hope that

978
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: anything that they do this year should be better than

979
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: what they did last year and a better turnout of

980
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: what happened in last year's free agency because that was

981
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: a total uh, I don't know the word, like it

982
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: just didn't work out for them. Any of the veteran

983
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: guys that they brought through free agency just didn't make

984
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: it through well with one. I think that's part of it. Sorry, Oh,

985
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean Greg Greg Zerline was one of the best

986
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: players that they had, one of the most consistent players.

987
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: He's forgotten a lot because these special teams, I get it,

988
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: but he was one of the more exciting moves. When

989
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: they get it, it it was like, holy crap, really, you know,

990
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: I know people were excited there and he had a

991
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good year, so um, you know, one

992
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: of couple of games for them, pretty steady that was.

993
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: That was one one move there. And uh. And I

994
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: say that to say, you know, he was connected with

995
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: John Fossil, who's been with the Rams, and we should

996
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: probably at least throw it out there that it's it's

997
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 1: been highly reported. It looks like it's going to happen

998
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: where they the Cowboys could bring in a long snapper there. Um. Uh.

999
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: Jake McQuaid I believe is his name. He's been with

1000
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: the Rams several years and so obviously that would signal

1001
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: the end of LP Lattiser's time here um with the Cowboys. Well,

1002
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: I think I saw a lot of people when these

1003
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: reports started coming out a couple of days ago. I

1004
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people question him as to why,

1005
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: like why make that kind of decision when we know

1006
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: LP Ladiser has been a guy super consistent for the Cowboys.

1007
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: He doesn't ever really makes an error. There was one

1008
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: time that it wasn't necessarily his fault, but other than that,

1009
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: in all the years that he's been here with the Cowboys,

1010
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: been consistent every time. He's always there doing what he's

1011
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: asked to do. So I guess, Dave, you can go

1012
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: ahead and get started on this question, like why do

1013
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys went ahead and they haven't made

1014
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: that move, but it's being reported that they might make

1015
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: the move there and just kind of part ways with Ladiser.

1016
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it is interesting, like you know, it doesn't

1017
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: seem completely finalized with McQuaid, but it doesn't sound like

1018
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: LP's coming back. And if that's the case, I would

1019
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: just say, don't underestimate the poll of coaches, Like I mean,

1020
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: like we'd beat this into the ground with Rod Marinelli,

1021
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: like coaches want to work with their guys, the guys

1022
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: that like either get what they're asking them to do,

1023
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: or guys that they have a good relationship with. It's

1024
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: no surprise, you know, guys that have worked with Rod

1025
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: Marinelli have flocked to Las Vegas since he got to

1026
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: Las Vegas because you get in and you say, oh,

1027
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: that's not what I want. I'm going to get a

1028
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: guy that does what I want. And and clearly John

1029
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: Fossil has pull. Uh. They resigned C. J. Goodwin, who

1030
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: was their their best special teamer, and they brought in

1031
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: greg'sirline when he got here, who was his kicker the

1032
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: whole time he was with the Rams. And if they

1033
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: bring in the Rams long snapper who I mean he

1034
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: seems good by all accounts because I mean he made

1035
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl twice twice. Yeah, so coaches have pull

1036
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: and and if if the Cowboys are moving on from

1037
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: LP in favor of a guy that John Fossil worked

1038
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: with for a long time, I think it. I think

1039
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: that's why I think the number, you know, I think

1040
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: the number four scares people when you're looking at age.

1041
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: So he just turned forty only in football, though Nick

1042
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: not for not for like not for you. Yeah, only

1043
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: in football. I mean, you know, people will say, oh,

1044
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: you have to do a snap, and for the most part,

1045
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: that's really all you have to do. They protected these

1046
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: guys now with the rules that they're not getting you know,

1047
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: hit after they snap. The only thing is you got

1048
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 1: to go down there and run and you know, make

1049
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: plays on specially you don't have to make He's just

1050
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: gotta run down there. And I still thought, you know,

1051
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: he did a nice job with that, So I think

1052
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: you're right, this isn't really about you know, uh production,

1053
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: And I don't even know what you're talking about when

1054
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: you said he had one bad player. I can't even

1055
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: remember any of them. Are you talking about the snap

1056
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: and fraction? She's talking about the pen in Washington? Yeah, yeah,

1057
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: that was not Yeah I still don't Yeah, I don't

1058
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: even know, um exactly what went down there. And I

1059
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: mean he took the blame for it, but yeah, I

1060
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: just think that they were you know about who you

1061
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: want to work with, who you want to who you

1062
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: want to deal with. And you know, LP is what

1063
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: he is is is he the nicest guy in the world?

1064
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: Like no, but is he the mean? He's not mean

1065
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: he's just he's just LP. He's a deep snapper. I mean,

1066
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. It's just hard to get

1067
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: better than zero bad snaps. So good luck, I guess.

1068
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: I But, like I said, like we see this all

1069
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: over the league, like coaches, coaches have polling, they make

1070
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: decisions like this, like John Gruden cut arguably the best

1071
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: center in the league yesterday, and as far as I

1072
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: can figure out, there was no real reason behind it.

1073
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: I think maybe John Gruden just doesn't like the guy

1074
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. Like, but and like I

1075
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: said with Rod, like we saw this all the time,

1076
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: Like coaches are just kind of like that sometimes where

1077
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: they're like I don't want that guy. I want my guy.

1078
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: Well but this guy is really good. It's like I

1079
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: don't care, I don't want that guy. I want my guy.

1080
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: Like coaches do that all the time. And by the way,

1081
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: when you said John Fossil has Pool, we saw that

1082
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: in Thanksgiving when he said, hey, coach, what do you

1083
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: think about running this fake punt here on fourth and ten?

1084
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: Like you know, okay, well let's do it. I mean, like, yeah,

1085
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of Pool, maybe not anymore, but yeah, well

1086
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: LP is gonna miss those cookies. He's gonna there's another

1087
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: part this too. You know who else is excited about this,

1088
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: Jason Jason Witten too. Two hundred and fifty five games

1089
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: play Jason Witten and LP breathing down his neck at

1090
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: two fifty three. Let's put a stop to that. So

1091
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: it's like Jason Whitten will be the all and if

1092
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: LP never plays again for the Cowboys and all that,

1093
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: if that happens, nobody's getting two fifty five. Like that's

1094
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: that hard to That's not happening anymore, not in this

1095
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: not the way the NFL is now. Guy's moving so much.

1096
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: He just you can't see that happen because you gotta

1097
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: not only do you have to play seventeen years, you

1098
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: can't miss any games. So I mean it's for both

1099
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: of them. Tho, I've gotta give credit. And I'll say this.

1100
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: Let me say this real quick about LP. One of

1101
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: the more fascinating stories ever as far as a guy

1102
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: that that got here, just an unbelievable right place, right time.

1103
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: And I've I've lived at myself, so I appreciate that

1104
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: even more. This guy. If we wouldn't have stayed a

1105
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: week in California, which we've never done ever since I've

1106
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: been here to stay a week, but in between regular

1107
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: season games played the Raiders and the forty nine ers.

1108
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 1: If we weren't there and the guy wouldn't have messed

1109
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: up the week before, we needed a snapper. Here's a

1110
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: guy sitting at San Jose State. If he if he

1111
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: was from Clemson, he wouldn't have been called. But he

1112
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: was right there. He drove over, had good snap. They said,

1113
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, okay, we're gonna sign you. You know, we'll

1114
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: see how it goes for this game. And it went

1115
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: for seven or sixteen straight years without a bad snap.

1116
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: That's a pretty great career and pretty awesome timing for him.

1117
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, if he is done with the Cowboys,

1118
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you got to give him credit

1119
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: for an outstanding career. Yeah. Now with that, we are

1120
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: ready to end the show with that cool story. What's

1121
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:43,479
Speaker 1: what's the official time? What's the official time for free

1122
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: agency to starts at three pm? The league year begins

1123
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: at three pm Central time, So I mean, if you're

1124
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: listening to this live, that's yeah, two and a half

1125
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: hours from now. But but fair to say that towards

1126
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: the end of the day. I mean, we should start

1127
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: hearing some more things about the Cowboys, even if it's

1128
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: their own guys that they're signing. Yeah. Maybe maybe never never,

1129
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: don't try to put a timetable on the Dallas Cowboys.

1130
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: If I've learned anything. I bet they signed three guys today. Well,

1131
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: they usually signed their own Yeah, there we go, Nick,

1132
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: Nick Nick loves that. Yeah, I bet they signed three

1133
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: three players today. Um, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say

1134
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: four players they signed today. Three of them will be

1135
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: resigned and one will be somebody different. Well, okay, all right,

1136
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: we'll see any clue like you want to imply something.

1137
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you already kind of well. I

1138
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: do think they're gonna resign. Um, I think Joe Looney

1139
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,919
Speaker 1: is a chance to be resigned. I could be wrong

1140
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: with this. I mean, who knows what they're what they're saying.

1141
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: I think they're in talks of it. I think Joe Looney,

1142
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Lewis. Um, who else could be resigned?

1143
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Blake Bell? No, what about what about the outside guy?

1144
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh that guy? Yeah, that little guy. I wouldn't worry

1145
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: about that little guy. Okay, there we go. By no way.

1146
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I just realized that we and we

1147
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: have to go. But we never got to talk about

1148
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas and him expected to sign a one year

1149
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: deal with the Houston Texans. To me, that's a big

1150
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: loss for the Cowboys. He was a guy that I mean,

1151
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: especially at the linebacker position. That it's already a position

1152
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: of need for the Cowboys. So any comments, real, real,

1153
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: real quick before we leave the show. H Yeah, I

1154
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: was bummed to see that. You know, the special teams.

1155
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: I would like to think that either Luke Gifford or

1156
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Francis Bernard can help you replace that. So that isn't terrible.

1157
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: But the thing that made Joe valuable was he had

1158
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: the experience in the ability to step in and start.

1159
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: You don't have that right now. You definitely don't have it.

1160
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: If Sean Lee decides to retire, we'll see what happens

1161
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: with him. And yeah, I mean, I think linebackers is sneaky,

1162
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: sneaky big need for this team. It's not even sneaky,

1163
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: it's just a big need. And so you know, we'll

1164
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: see what they do in free agency. But I would

1165
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: be trying to address that in the draft early. If

1166
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I were them agreed. That's tough loss. I thought, we're

1167
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: out of times. Yes, everything Dave said, I agree, this

1168
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: guy could start. He starts with you, So he starts,

1169
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: and he was always ready. He's a big hitter, big hitter.

1170
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna miss him here, hopefully, Like I

1171
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: always do, address the position, whether that's here in free

1172
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: agency or through the draft at least. So anyways, that's

1173
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: it for today. We are out of time for Nicki Man.

1174
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,959
Speaker 1: David Hellman, remember her Sea. This has been Cowboys Break
