Okay, 45 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: what lots to get to? Why don't we just start 46 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: with the wide receivers. Okay, Amari Cooper. Amari Cooper is 47 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: going to be traded. Will not happen till later this 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: week officially, but he's going to Cleveland. So it's for 49 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. The Browns and the Cowboys swap 50 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: six round picks. Here, Coop do twenty million dollars. Cowboys 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to pay it. They saved sixteen million dollars 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: under the cap. So gentleman thumbs upper thumbs down. I'm 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: make it. That's sim before you thumbs upper thumbs down 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: on this trade them to start with you, Barry Church 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: for me with the Cowboys situation. I'm gonna say it's 56 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: a tough one for me because you know, you let 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: Cooper go in To me, I thought he was a 58 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: number one receiver. I mean, he didn't get a lot 59 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: of chances last year, and for the most part last year, 60 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: he didn't show that he was a number one. But 61 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: I still believe he has number one left in the tank, 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: and for them to trade that away, they must have 63 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of confidence in the receivers they 64 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: have left on the roster. I mean, you know, we 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: said we heard Gallup might be or should be signing 66 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: that extension. Hopefully it'll get said Wilson back. But to me, 67 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: that hurts the pass game overall because even though Cooper, 68 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: he didn't put up crazy, ridiculous numbers that guarante that 69 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: warranted that twenty million dollars deal, but he opened things 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: up for other people, you know, And I feel like 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the attention now is gonna go towards 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, go towards Michael Gallut, go towards said Wilson. 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know if they're for that type of hunt, 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: that type of pressure on them. I mean, being a 75 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: number one receiver. It's it's it's a tough it's a 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: tough duty. So I think this might be a thumbs 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: down for the Dallas Cowboys, but certainly a thumbs up 78 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. I mean, they're getting I think, 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: a very very solid receiver that has a lot left 80 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: in the tank. You put him in there with that 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: great running game that they have in Nick Chubb and 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. You put him in there with Baker Mayfield, 83 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: and they got a good offensive line. So I think 84 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: it's a thumbs up for Cleveland, but for Dallas, I'm 85 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: gonna go thumbs down because I did not want to 86 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: see a Mark Cooper go. But hey, at the end 87 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: of the day, it's a business and you gotta make 88 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: other decisions. Yeah, I feel like the same way he 89 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: brought a lot of double teams to his side, he 90 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: had a lot of brought a lot of attention to 91 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: his side, so it opened up the field for the 92 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: other wide receivers to make plays. So with that being gone, 93 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: is gonna put a lot of pressure on those young 94 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: guys to be able to perform. And when you get 95 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: out there and you're making plays, when you got the 96 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: other guy on the other side. But when that when 97 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: you get that pressure, that ball is like you got 98 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: that all that pressure to make those plays and to 99 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: carry the team, it's a it's a whole other monster. 100 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: So the time will tell it will either make make 101 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: divings out of the other receivers or he's gonna bust 102 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: the pipe. So we'll see here, we'll see twenty million dollars. 103 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. It's a lot of bread, 104 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: a lot of bread. And when you say a lot 105 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 1: of bread, let me break it down into more terms. 106 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: Two for a million dollars a game? Yeah, is he 107 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: bringing you a million dollars a game in production? See, 108 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I was That's the thing that 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, it's kind of I because he wasn't 110 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: I'll put it like that. He was not giving you 111 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars worth of game out there. And a 112 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: lot of that had to do with the with the 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: scheme as well. I mean, he wasn't getting a lot 114 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: of looks or a lot of targets as well. So 115 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: I can't put it all on a Mark Cooper for 116 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: not being productive because there was a lot of games 117 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: where he might have only got you know, three targets, 118 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: two targets here and there, so I can't put it 119 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: all on his plate. But at the end of the day, 120 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: you are correct newly in my opinion, he wasn't putting 121 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: that that twenty million dollars worth a game on the 122 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: football field. So the Cowboys had to make a decision. 123 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: One point three million a game my back, Remember he 124 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: missed two games. Is a COVID, he wouldn't get that shot. 125 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: So so yeah, one point three milk. That's And when 126 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: it comes down to it, Cowboys always really make good 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: business decisions, and that's really what this is. I feel 128 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: like it's a business decision. And was he bringing that 129 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: revenue to each one of the games? Probably not, But 130 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: the other things that like the double teams opened up 131 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: the field for the other players, Like you really can't 132 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: see that happening in the game, Like he that's not 133 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: making a play. So it's those things that you don't 134 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: see that he was really bringing. And is that worth 135 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: one point three a million dollars a game? Yeah, so 136 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: I got to decide, Like it's tough because did you 137 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: look at it now? Okay, you know teams were starting 138 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: towards the end of the year, they were starting to 139 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: play that kind of umbrella covers where they had two 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: high safeties back deep and they were like, look that 141 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to check it down or make accurate 142 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: throws through our zone to be able to beat us. 143 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: And we weren't able to do that. They weren't able 144 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: to do that. So that's a tough one. Do you 145 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: put it more on his lack of production? Do you 146 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: put it more on the scheme and Kella Moore scheme 147 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: or the actual player kellamore scheme? Kellamore? I mean, how 148 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: many times were we watching Sean McVay And I was 149 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: there at the Super Bowl. So it was just amazing 150 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter because Cooper Cooper Cup made so 151 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: many players, Ye come around on the tweet coming on across. 152 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it was all right. So that whole final, 153 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: that whole final fourth quarter was about Stafford the Cooper Cup. 154 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: That was it. So we've seen an offensive coordinator scheme 155 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: scheme him up. Yeah, Okay, we've seen DeAndre Hopkins, We've 156 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: seen DeVante Adams. I mean, we just see dudes out 157 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: here who are getting back. When Antonio Brown was, we've 158 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: been Roethlisberger. You knew what was coming. Good luck stopping it. 159 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson when he was with Matt Stafford. I mean, 160 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: there are ways, and we've seen number one guys get used, 161 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: even Michael Thomas when he had Drew Brees at their 162 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: new work. So for one point three million dollars, if 163 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: you if if your offensive coordinator is not going to 164 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: figure out a way to scheme him up, then I 165 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: don't think you're doing justice to the receiver or doing 166 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: justice to this cheam. Now I feel bad for him, 167 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: our Cooper, because Baker Mayfield's not that guy. He's going 168 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: to Cleveland, I mean Dallas, Cleveland, you know, Baker Dak. 169 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you're outside in the conditions. If 170 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm Mard, You're from Florida, went to Alabama, started your 171 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: cares with the Raiders in California, go to Texas, and 172 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: now they're gonna send you up here to Cleveland to 173 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: catch passes from a dude. They don't even want to 174 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: give him multi year contract to number one overall pick. 175 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we don't know if Field to pick 176 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: up that option. And so unless they go bring in 177 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson in a trade in good luck trying to 178 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: get Deshaun Watson to you and their calls are going 179 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: out three first round here, like I'm like man Ian 180 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: the crisis guy. And of course the crazy thing is 181 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: Cleveland passed on Deshaun Watson twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how 182 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: smarter that? So I feel bad. I feel bad for 183 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: a Mark Cooper. I still think he's a good player. 184 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: I hate the fact that he's leaving. Yeah, but one 185 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: point three million dollars in the financial that's that's a 186 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: lot of money and is and as a number one 187 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: receiver you kind of love guys like this in your 188 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: locker room. That he wasn't really getting a lot of targets. 189 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: He wasn't getting all that, but you rarely heard anything 190 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: from him. I mean we saw the two maybe the 191 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: two instances where he was like, yeah, if I got 192 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: the ball more, I can help this team out. But 193 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't like a you know how how how my 194 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: boy there? It wasn't go ahead ahead, say different. I 195 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: had a different type of passion. So you can't you 196 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: really can't brain that type of like leadership. It was 197 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: really what it is, leadership to the to the locker room. 198 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: Like he's been through it, He's been that one, number 199 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: one receiver. Like he's been through a lot of different games. 200 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: He's seen a lot of different coverages how people are 201 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: going to cover him. So he brought a different to 202 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: the to the Cowboys that they don't have. Now. Yeah, 203 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean, and it's gonna it's gonna come. We'll see 204 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: if it shows through or if if it won't. Yeah, 205 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: that's true, all right, so um Amari Cooper on his 206 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: way to Cleveland. Michael Gallup stays, he was coming up 207 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: on free agency, had that horrible ACL tear January second 208 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: when he went up for a touchdown catch and he 209 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: made it against the Arizona Cardinals. Five years sixty two 210 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: point five million dollars is what's being reported. He missed 211 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: seven games due to a calf injury last year that 212 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game had that then missed the next seven games, 213 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: played an eight last year. In four seasons with the Cowboys, 214 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: one hundred ninety three catches for two thousand, nine hundred 215 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: ninety two yards fifteen touchdowns, had a one thousand yards 216 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: season in twenty twenty twenty seven million isn't guaranteed money, 217 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: ten point ten million dollars signing bonus, and he had 218 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: he had the ACL surgery in February. So anybody looking 219 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: for Michael Gallup to start week one, I would tell you, don't. 220 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: Don't look for that would be unrealistic, and that's amass. 221 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I think it was. It was smart on his behalf, 222 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: because like you said, he you know he might not 223 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: be ready for week one. So if you go to 224 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: a different team, you don't know that training staff, you 225 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: don't know that team, you don't know how they work 226 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: with you during the offseason, how they're gonna bring you 227 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: back towards the team. I mean, you gotta, you know, 228 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: get a whole new leadership value with that team. So 229 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: I think it was a smart move by him. You 230 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: know the team, you know the guys in the training room. 231 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: You know they're gonna get you back as healthy as possible, 232 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: and they're gonna let you take your time with coming back. 233 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: So that was definitely a solid move on him, and 234 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: I think by the Cowboys as well. I mean, I look, first, 235 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: I looked at that number, I said, whoa five for 236 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: sixty two. I'm hold on this guy coming off of ACL. 237 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: But then when you really looked at the numbers, it 238 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: boils down like new He said to really kind of 239 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: a two year, twenty seven guaranteed overall, very team friendly. 240 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: I think overall the whole thing is like twelve and 241 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: a half a year, which I thought he was going 242 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: to get closer to sixteen a year. So I think 243 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: it's a very team friendly deal. If he ends up 244 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: coming back healthy and blowing up and you know, playing 245 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: out the whole five years, I think it'd be a 246 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: great value for the squad. So I think they you know, 247 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: they both worked with each other on this one, So 248 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a good deal overall. But to me, 249 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: it's all gonna boil down to whether or not Ceedee 250 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Lamb can be that guy, because I honestly don't think 251 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup is is a number one. I think he's 252 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: a great number two, kind of a one beat situation. 253 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: But I think if it's all on him, I don't 254 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: think this passing attack is going to be as dynamic 255 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: as it was in the past. So I think this 256 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: deal pretty much sums up. If if if Ceedee Lamb can 257 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: be that guy and Gallup can be a solid number two, 258 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: I think we have a great pass production. But if 259 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: it's all on Gallup, I think it's going to be 260 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: a tough situation. So spend I want to throw it 261 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: to you coming off ACL, Yeah, I'm my receiver. Yeah. 262 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: When I was coming off my knee surgery and I played, 263 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: I came back and I played a year with the 264 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys with the same like I was able to recover 265 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and get all that work in with the same training staff. 266 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: But then I went to New Orleans and it was 267 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: a whole different type of training like that, Like it 268 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: plays an effect on your body, so you have to 269 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: being with the same training staff and going through the 270 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: offseason and then being able to have this contract with 271 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: gives him a little bit more security and comfortability and 272 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: believe in it itself, like putting that putting that ownership 273 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: on himself to come back and perform at that high level. 274 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: So I really believe that's going to be a good 275 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: deal for him and for the Cowboys, just because they're 276 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: giving him a little bit of rope to get better 277 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: and to become a better player. At the same time, 278 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: he's got to have that trust in the Cowboys with 279 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: them signing him back. So we'll see. I mean, I 280 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: think that he's gonna be back and doing great because 281 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: even when the Tories ACL making that catch. You can 282 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: see the resilience that he had as a player, and 283 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: even with the injuries that he had this past year 284 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: with the hurt calv like, that's part of the ACL 285 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: or not the ACL, but just being in football. Yeah, 286 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: I mean, just be able to go through those injuries 287 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: and come back and availability is always the key of 288 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: this game. So I feel like that's what we'll see, 289 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, So that's um for me. That's the question. Okay, 290 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: you signed him for five years, got the ACLU. You 291 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: hear people say it'll take you a good year to 292 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: get back to where you were. So now you're talking 293 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: four years. You know, what are you going to really 294 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: get out of the deal. So there's a lot of hope. Yes, 295 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of hope of this deal. Hey, you're 296 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: hoping he goes back to what he was. You're hoping 297 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: he could be the number two. They're no guarantees. Yeah, 298 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: not at all. With that deal being said, do you 299 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: do you feel like these guys should go get a 300 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: wide receiver early in the draft. No, No, Spence with 301 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: my chom Oh, it's it's hard. It's hard. I mean 302 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the CD lab and 303 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: just just had the having the continuity of the people 304 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: that they have in the locker room right now, like 305 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: they can't. You can't keep bringing in new and and 306 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: hoping that yeah, I mean, it's all over again. So 307 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: you just got to kind of build with what you 308 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: have and people that are in the even the tight 309 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: end that they just signed to the franchise deal Shultz 310 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: Sholtz him him coming back and having that opportunity, I 311 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: feel like that's gonna be huge for the passing game 312 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: as well. Let me just ask you guys, give me 313 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: your top three wide receivers in the game right now. 314 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Just just think, you know, just just in your mind, 315 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, it just comes to your mind right now. 316 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: We just mentioned Cooper Cup. I would I would go 317 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, Devontae Adams, Stefan Diggs. Okay, that's what I 318 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: will go. Okay, I like Cooper Cup a lot. Uh, 319 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: definitely Devontae Adams. Okay, and I'm not I'm not sure. 320 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: That's fine, that's fine, that's fine, Okay. Just here's here's 321 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: the exercisement. Not one of those guys the first round pick. 322 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup's the third round pick. Adams and Diggs are 323 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: second round picks. The Packers have made a living not 324 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: taking guys in the first round. They just won't do it. 325 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: And so I bring that up to say, look, you 326 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: can find these guys in later rounds. Um, you know 327 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Chris Scotlan's not a first round pick, while Mike Evans is. Um, 328 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas had those great ears in New Orleands, He's 329 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: not a He's not a number one guy. So, um, 330 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: you can get those guys you've You've invested in cde Lamb. 331 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: He's still got a rookie deal here. You just paid gallop. 332 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: I think you could. To me, if I'm the Cowboys, 333 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: either dress your front seven on defense or you address 334 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: your offensive line in the first round. Here, you know 335 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: your center is still too light, your left guards probably 336 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: leaving in free agency. Um, Layton vander esh is going 337 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: to be on the move, I believe, and so someone 338 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: next to Michael Parsons, depending on what happens with Randy 339 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Gregory and whatever you decide to do a tank, Lawrence, 340 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: you need to go ahead and look at the edge 341 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: rush and could you ever have too many good defensive 342 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: linemen up front who can stop the run? Nope? So, 343 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: so to me, wide receiver that nah back burner. And 344 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: also every year, what are we the market's gonna get 345 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: flooded with So Cooper is signed, you know, Cooper, the 346 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: deal's gonna go to the He's gonna go to the 347 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: brows of the trade.

You know they're going to be 350 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: dudes out here. Not that not that I would want 351 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: this player, but you got Antonio Brown on the podcast 352 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: about Heye Jerry, come get me Jared Antonio, right, So 353 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean you can you can go get some veteran plays. 354 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: You can get some guy, you know. So if if 355 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: you Gallop's not gonna be ready week one in my opinion, 356 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: so he's not ready to go, Maybe you bring back 357 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, who knows, we'll see there. He might impress 358 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: hisself albums. But if you got Ceedee Lamb, you add 359 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 1: someone else here on a one year deal who can 360 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: catch some footballs from Dak Prescott in an offense that's 361 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: put up numbers here. I think they could go and 362 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: get someone and you know, maybe you spend the second, 363 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: third round, fourth round round a wide receiver. But I 364 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: just feel like the Cowboys from a from a defensive 365 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: standpoint could use another player in front seven. And the 366 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: offensive line needs to get fixed. Yeah, the offensive line 367 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: definitely definitely needs to get fixed. And when you're talking 368 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: about those receivers later in rounds that you know kind 369 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: of became, you know, really good receivers, you know, they 370 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: got some pretty good quarterbacks behind them. I mean, you 371 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: look at Aaron Rodgers who he made Alan Lazard, and 372 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: you got Josh Allen making Wilson Gabriel. I think he 373 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: was at four touchdowns in that playoff game. So they 374 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: got some great quarterbacks back there to help them out. 375 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: The question I got to ask both of y'all is 376 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: do you think Dak Prescott can be that quarterback that 377 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: elevates gonna half the fifth round, sixth round receiver being 378 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: something good you that he like? He said, I feel 379 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: like he has to be, especially in this league that 380 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: it is today, Like it's the quarterbacks that really drives 381 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: the franchise, you know what I mean. And if you 382 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: want to have a great franchise, you're gonna have to 383 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: depend on your quarterback to be that player for you. 384 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to be yeah, yes, and what again, 385 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: I go across this league. I mean DK mccalf was 386 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: the first round pick. Tyler Lockey wasn't pick. They played 387 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: well in Seattle. Keenan Allen, it's not that standing career 388 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: with the charges. He wasn't a first traffick was No, 389 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't not a first round like all the top 390 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: ruthiers out there. Tybreek Kill not a first round pick. 391 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean, look that there's some good players who are, 392 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: but it's just you can win in this league without them. 393 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: You have to have a you know, number one in 394 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: terms of a wide receiver. It's very true. There's so 395 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: much of it is about the system, so much about 396 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: the system and how you're using Terry mclaurina and in Washington, 397 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: I think he's a really fine receivers. He's another guy 398 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: who's who's a second round pick. So you can you 399 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: can go get some dudes. Well, let me rephrase it, then, 400 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: can we win with this system that we have as 401 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: an offensive system? You've won, you've won? What are you 402 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: going to win? A championship? That's to that and that's 403 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: the that's the goal that you know, every you know, 404 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: not just just getting to the first round or getting 405 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: to the second round. Ain't gonna be ain't gonna cut 406 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: it here. Thirty two Church, thirty four, you're thirty four. 407 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate. Okay, So for twenty six years there 408 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: was those thirty four. They haven't won it, they having anything. 409 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: They're going on twenty six years, Church, But most of 410 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: your life, at least get today. They round. They've been 411 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: in the desert most of your life, searching, searching, searching, flash. 412 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: That's it. What the Lombardy is. You've seen a couple 413 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: of mirages here and there. Nothing too. So so when 414 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: people ask me to do these radio shows and they'll 415 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: ask me about, you know, the Cowboys championship, I'm like, why, dude, 416 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: why why do we talk about? How about this? How 417 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: about just get to a championship game? That's all, you know, 418 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: just just get out the divisional round because they haven't 419 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: been able to do that. I mean, to talk about 420 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: championships is to me, it's just kind of crazy because 421 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: they've been so far from it. So the question is 422 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: not you know, it's truly do you have a championship office? 423 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. And clearly the owner 424 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: put the bulls eye on the head coach get done 425 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: this year. And that's another of the how you can 426 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: you put all this pressure on McCarthy. It didn't take 427 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: away his number one receiver, you know, but what but 428 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: what did he do with the number one receiver last year? 429 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: That's true because he wasn't They didn't let him call 430 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: the place. But but still still overall, do you feel 431 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: like Amark Cooper was used properly? How many times did 432 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: we do the players show? Okay, okay, okay, So so 433 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: how do you go in there and beat the table 434 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: down and say, hey, man, I need to do for 435 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: one point three million a game, not really using it, 436 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: you know, not getting up de hoop numbers. You know, 437 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: you're not Jordan Jefferson in Minnesota. I mean you know. 438 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: So so you start to look at this and it 439 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: gets tough. But this is the National Football League, man, 440 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: you're got you know, he's not the only coach going 441 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: in the next year that's gonna hate feel it heat, 442 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: but do something. That's why if I'm Mike McCarthy, I'm 443 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: going into this thing. If I'm going down, I'm going 444 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: down swinging. I'm calling to play. Give me the play 445 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: call sheet. You know what I need to, I need 446 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: all that I need all give it to me. I'm 447 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: not gonna go down for somebody else. You know, you 448 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: got to. And I feel like that's the hardest part 449 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys with Jerry Jones and the family, just 450 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: because they are like their business. It's a business. They 451 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: make money and each year the Cowboys make more money 452 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: than anybody anybody, and that's there and it comes from 453 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: the top. Yeah, I mean, that's that's how that's how 454 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: we're slated. We're here to make the money. Is it's 455 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: really about to win in the games or is it 456 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: about making more money? So when you do it like that, 457 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: it's like you have to give the give the coaches 458 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: and the people the power to make those plays, make 459 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: those decisions, put their ownership on them too, so they 460 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: can that you can fire them and then get rid 461 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: of them. And if they're not doing what they need 462 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: to be doing what I mean. Okay, Now, now I've 463 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: heard this same thing when I've done interviews across the country. 464 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: I'll come back into this, Anthony. Jerry Jones gave Mike 465 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: McCarthy a heck of a roster last year. You're in 466 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: a division that was not good that you swept. Okay 467 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: swept the division. Okay score average forty points against NFC's teams, 468 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: twenty six points against anybody else. You got a home game, 469 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: you're a spot against the Niners who walk out with 470 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: a huge boom box in your building to go take 471 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: the field. You put your office out on the field. 472 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Niners smacked that down to three plays. They go take 473 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: the football on office and they go right down in 474 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: the mouth with a quarterback with a bad thumb. Yeah, 475 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: you got but fourteen sum odd penalties in the football 476 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: game played like played and then with two forty two 477 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: to goal, you gave your quarterback, who he gave all 478 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: that money to the football with an opportunity to go 479 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: down the field and win it. He can do it, 480 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: and then the clock ran out. How much is that 481 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and family, and how much is that Mike 482 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: McCarthy and his staff. I wouldn't look. I'm not putting 483 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: anything on Jerry Jones and the family. I'm just saying 484 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 1: it'sh rolls downhill, you know, I mean, it starts from 485 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: the top. And if your main concern is your main concern, 486 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: then and if you're getting that done, then you're winning, 487 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: so it's not really you know, I mean, you have 488 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: to change what the But you've won. Okay, my thing? 489 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: You won. Okay, they had a winning team last year 490 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: and you won the East. But the goal is not 491 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: to win the East. The goal is not to control 492 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: that section. The goal is to be the best team 493 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: in NFL. Right, yeah, I mean so, and that started 494 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: with you facing San Francisco, right and the team Okay, 495 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: McCarthy comes out to about we were nervous. Who now 496 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: that could be that's on the head coach, penalty on 497 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: the head coach, quarterback, hand the ball to the to 498 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: the center, not to the best moments. Those are the 499 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: players that you're putting out, like who's who's who's drafting 500 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: the players, who's putting the putting the team together? Where 501 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: is the where's the real ownership of the team? Who who? 502 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: Who runs the team? Okay, great, great point. And I'll 503 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: say this draft, I don't I don't have any complaints 504 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: about what the Cowboys do in terms of training. Their 505 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: drafts are good. When you talk about looking at Pro 506 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: Bowl players and homegrown Pro Bowl players, I mean, they're 507 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league of drafting. Now 508 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: here's a question I have. I look at the z contract. 509 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: You gave ninety million dollars and set them our for 510 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: a running back, and then you hire the head coach 511 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: who wants to throw the football boys. That right there, 512 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: to me doesn't make sense. That's a bad that's a 513 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: bad allocation of resources and service. You know, what are 514 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: we doing here? But it's Hill House. It's a house divided, yeah, 515 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: because because it's like it's you know, it's Kelly Moore's 516 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: scheming system. But he has a shield in Mike McCarthy 517 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: in front of them down now taking the bullets. Okay, 518 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: So here's here's my theory. Here's my theory on the 519 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: Kellen more than Okay, Mike McCarthy got turned out by 520 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: the Jets and the Browns, and you apply for the 521 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: job here, and you know, the Jones has told you, 522 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, like Keller Moore. They really like Kelly Moore. 523 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: So what did my mccarths. I was gonna hire Keller 524 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: more or wherever I went because I like Keller Moore. 525 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: So you say, what job? Like I said, I'm just 526 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here to myself. And then the whole 527 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: offseason the first year to about we need to get 528 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: run you know, we need to get some run balance here. 529 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: And so here's McCarthy basically saying, hey, man, stop throwing 530 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: the ball so much. And then if you listen to 531 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: McCarthy you could hear at times he was like, can 532 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: we run the ball here? Because Kellen Moore like cam City, 533 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: you get to pass happy here and so there I 534 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: have a point of the same thing with Wade, Wade 535 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: and Garrett and it's been what it it's been like 536 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: stop trying to say it is what it is, you know, 537 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: I mean like it starts from there to go like, bro, 538 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: that was so bad. That was so when when when 539 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: Jason didn't take that job and he got the new deal, 540 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: you saw the riding on the wall, and now you're 541 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: seeing the whole point right about, Hey, here's dan Quinn. 542 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: Apparently dan quinn contract is really rich that you got 543 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: to stay and now you got the head coach running 544 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: around on rich ties and about you know, man, I 545 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: don't like talking about Sean Payton. So take that point 546 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: of it is they have created a circus on that end. 547 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: Why don't he take the reins? That's what I'm saying, 548 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: Like if if you're a head coach, I'm not going 549 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: down for someone else's failure to produce. Like if it's me, 550 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: I gotta go out. Okay, you're you're the offsta cor 551 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: Did you come to me with a scheme? Right? I 552 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: see what you got going on. But I'm gonna call 553 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: the plays. I'm gonna, you know, dictate how the game flows. 554 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: But with him, it's just like, yeah, man, you know 555 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: there's Kelly. If you're gonna call it, all right, he's 556 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: calling it and he got the little you know, facing 557 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: over his face or whatever. But to me, if I'm 558 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: going down, I'm going down swinging with my own play 559 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: calls and if I feel I'm gonna feel on my own, 560 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: not somebody else's failure. And then we all lose it. Dance, man, 561 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: he gotta take the reins this year. He got to 562 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: got to he's got to find a way. He's gotta 563 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: find he gotta find a way to get in there. Yeah, 564 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: he gotta find a way. That is a very good 565 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: point right there. You better find find a way and 566 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: maybe maybe call but you override it. No, we were 567 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: running on a third dawn right right, you're running on 568 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: the Saint No suggestion we're running on third da. It't 569 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: forced the hand, like if you if you get like 570 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: if you're gonna tell him like this is what we're 571 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: gonna do, then you get then you're forcing management to 572 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: say no, you know, give it back to Kelly. What 573 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: you can do? Yeah, yeah, he could do that. When 574 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: I would talk to Gary Patterson when he was coaching 575 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: and TCU and he ran the defense, but he would 576 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: tell his offensive coordinators, Hey, um, I want to run 577 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: the ball on third down or we're inside the red zone, 578 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: you know what, we need to take some shots running 579 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: the ball. So he would tell his coordinators, hey, look, 580 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: this is what I want. I remember going back into 581 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 1: and you guys were little little little puppies back here. 582 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: But nineteen ninety two NFC Championship game, San Francisco gets 583 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: close and Dallas has the ball and instead of just 584 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: running out the clock, Jimmy Johnson tells because north Turns says, 585 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: what do you want to do? He says, I want 586 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: to win a game, And so north Turner throws the slant, 587 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: hits Alvin Harper. He runs down there for for about 588 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: sixty seventy yard game and the Cowboys would end up 589 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: running the football in Mmy Smith scored the touchdown. They 590 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: went a super Bowl, so Jimmy decided I want to gamble, 591 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 1: but Jimmy had input on what he wanted to do. 592 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: So so to me, if Mike, if you're not gonna 593 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: call the plays, be up in there with some heavy 594 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: suggestions about what it is you want. Don't be nice. 595 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: Stop being nice because if not, either Sean Payton or 596 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn we'll be coaching that team next year, not you. 597 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: So hey, let's get a break in here.

And where they signed Chris, 670 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: they signed Chris Nagar from uh It's it's a r 671 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: R n be good in a gard Nagar Please? You 672 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: had any makes a rap videos in The Cowboy and 673 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: the boss Man, Fat Man an fat Oh, so that's 674 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: your field goal kicker? He was. He was a lou 675 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: Gross Award UM finalist, didn't win it, but he was 676 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: over smu Let the American and in kicking now and 677 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: it takes me back to when Dan Bailey was here. 678 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: Dan Bailey was another guy Oklahoma State. UM. He might 679 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: have won the Gross Award, but he was definitely a 680 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: finalist for it. Um it ended up having a good 681 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: having having a good career about five years there where 682 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: he was top. Yeah, he was automatic. Yeah. I remember 683 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: when uh Kai for Bath came through here. Kai was 684 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: over at UCLA, another another dominant kicker, and I remember 685 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: um Dan beat him out and then he went up 686 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: to Washington and was around for a little bit. So 687 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: so these guys who were in this gross award of conversation. 688 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: You know, give him an opportunity and they can kick. 689 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not the first place they're kicking it maybe 690 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: the second place. But but overall, I say this to 691 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: you know what, Zeroline had his time move on older 692 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: player dealing with injuries here. So maybe Nagar's demand, you know, 693 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. But but the opportunity, it's the 694 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: cowboys man, and go go find somebody. Somebody will kick 695 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: for you. And I know people loved to sit up 696 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: here and say, well, you know on the street for 697 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: reason that you know, this is different different with kickers 698 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: like that, Like even with Dan Bailey, he was here 699 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: for a while, then we let him go and he 700 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: went somewhere else in minnes So he performed there for 701 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: a long time. So they lose that little bit of 702 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: confidence or what. Yeah, it's like a golfer's golfer exactly, 703 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: Like you can start hooking them, hooking them left. I 704 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: try to find ya, try to find a way to 705 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: get it back. And then both yeah, Bones mentioned the 706 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: whole golf thing with with com he compared the man 707 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: it was that week before the playoff game. He's like, yeah, 708 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: I feel like he's close, he's about to get there. 709 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: I feel like like And I asked her, I said, 710 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: you're about to go to a playoff game, and you're 711 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: saying you think your kickers clah. I mean, what kind 712 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: of confidence you got in that job's on the line. 713 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: We think, yeah, like Crosin ready to go. And that's 714 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: the biggest thing about football, man. You gotta stay consistent. 715 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: Like being consistent football is probably the hardest thing but 716 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: the most important thing. And you gotta have that with 717 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: in every position, most part. You know. He said that, 718 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: and then he was like, well, you know what, it's 719 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: like golf, and you know, and he's like, it's like 720 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. And I said, Tiger Woods, the Hall of Fame, 721 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: dude looking like Ricky Fowler out here looking like Tiger Woods. 722 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: Ricky ain't got no majorsg man, got no majors up 723 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: in here. And uh yeah, he did make the fifty 724 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: one yard or in the playoff game. We all forgot 725 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,439 Speaker 1: about it, but um yeah, but he had so many 726 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: misses along the way. I go back to think he 727 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: misses miss Tampa Bay. You lead four points out there 728 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: in the game, you lose by point. Then the Raider game. 729 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: He's shooting games where where you needed your guy to 730 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: do his part, not a hard part, just to do 731 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: his partners and he could not do that. So Greg's 732 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: arline cut Brian Anger the punter. Uh, he's a free agent, 733 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: probably not bringing him back here. That's a bowler too. 734 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: You know, I really wish that they could figure out 735 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: a way to get him back because he was a weapon. 736 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about flipping fields. Man. He was able to 737 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: punt it from the twenty and down and on the 738 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: opposite ten and that you know, that helped the defense 739 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: out a lot. Yeah, because you know, eventually, like he's like, 740 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: our defense was so turned over hungry this year. Eventually, 741 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: if they got the long drives, offense might make a mistake, 742 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: and that defense was able to capitalize on the soul. 743 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: Anger he did a hell of a job this year 744 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: penning those teams down deep. But like you said, I 745 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: doubt they'll be able to bring him back man. Yeah. Uh, 746 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: And you guys play defense, and I think in the 747 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: league now where everybody wants to go for it. This 748 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: gives Mike McCarthy an excellent opportunity many times to say, 749 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, let's just kick it. We'll kick it because 750 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: this guy flip the feel. Let's sending our defense out 751 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: here and make someone. I don't know why you got 752 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: these coaches now who don't want to make somebody go 753 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: seventy and sixty five yards. Never the first first drive 754 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, O Zach with the Bengals gonna 755 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: go for it like the forty eight forty year and 756 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: didn't get it. What are you doing? What are you doing? 757 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Game changing and just looking at it? 758 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: But I'm looking at this thing. Let it's a super 759 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: Bowl with man the first quarter. Mamber No, you got 760 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: top man kick it, make them go down. But yeah, analytics, 761 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: everything and everything everything, and analytics got you got you 762 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: watching the confetti for them instead of you getting it. 763 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: Blake Darwin uh tight and cut Blake had hip surgery 764 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: saves three point eight million dollars in cap space. Then, 765 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: um another reason they could cut Blake jars because they 766 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: decided to franchise Dalton Schultz free agent tag for a 767 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: tight end ten to point nine million dollars, placing eleven 768 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: million dollars for Dalton shots. You're feeling on that on 769 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: those two moves oh uh, cutting cutting the injured player. Um, 770 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do that. They'll, they'll, they're 771 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: they're going to work on the injury settlement. But he's 772 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: so he's going to recrup somebody. But yeah, they let him. Yeah, 773 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: but I mean, you putting the franchise tag on players 774 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,479 Speaker 1: that's been in your system, you know what they can do. 775 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: You believe in them, you have confidence in them being 776 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: able to do what they've been doing. So I think 777 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: that's a good move by them. So it's yeah to me, 778 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: I I was, you know, I like what Dalton Schultz 779 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: brings as far as you know, he's that, he's that 780 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: you know, complimentary guy. He's that that kind of security 781 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: blanket for Dak Prescott out there when things are break down, Oh, 782 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: let me find him. He's there, he's gonna make um. 783 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he's the most dynamic tight 784 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: end out there. I think he's very witt and esque 785 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: as far as you know, yards after the catch and 786 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: very he just sounded what he's supposed to do. He's 787 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: not a great blocker. I mean we've seen that, you know, 788 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: throughout the entire year. He's not a great blocker. So 789 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: he's more of a receiving tight end. But he's not 790 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: a dynamic receiver. He's not a Kelsey, he's not a 791 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, the guy from San Francis Kitto. He's not 792 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: one of those type of gas or Darren Waller that 793 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: you can split out and he can, you know, make 794 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: defenses paid if you put the wrong guy. Yeah, so 795 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: I think he benefits more from the scheme. But if 796 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, put scheme over players like this 797 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: organization has basically said they're gonna do by getting rid 798 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: of their number one receiver and basically saying the scheme 799 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: is over the players, I think he fits well in 800 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: this scheme and he could he could be productive. But 801 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: to me, with that franchise tag, I think that just 802 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: keeps him off the streets, and I think they'll try 803 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: to rework some deal to get him out of lower 804 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: cap number. But you know, I think overall it could 805 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: be a solid move for the Cowboys. By the way, 806 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: just to clear it up here story of here on 807 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys that come by being wave slash injured. Jarwin 808 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: qualified for an injured injury settlement with the team, which 809 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: allowed him to recoup some of his burning so he'll 810 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: be able to get paid. But the Cowboys saved roughly 811 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: three point eight million dollars in cap space while carrying 812 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: a charge of only two million dollars. If you don't 813 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: give Shultz the tag, you're gonna allow him to get 814 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 1: to the market. So if the market's eleven million dollars 815 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: and you've got teams who have some flush cash can 816 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: need a tight end, you're probably going to Lucy. And 817 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: then what other options did you have if you've Jarwin's gone, 818 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: Shultz is gone, Sean McKowen, yeah, or Sprinkle, But yeah, 819 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: we know we can't go. You can't go into the 820 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: season with those being your starters. So you don't have 821 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: to give Sholts a long term deal. You don't have to. 822 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: It's not like I don't anticipate Shultz doing the DeVante 823 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: Adams and say, hey, I ain't playing a no franchise 824 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: to He's gonna take. He gonna take all that he 825 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: might might be hit day, go ahead, that paper work 826 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: at right, He'll put this right here and then go 827 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: back and play some more video games after dat. What 828 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying, So, I mean guy went to Standford. He 829 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: ain't gonn sitting around here and turn down and let me. 830 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: Now let's I mean, might as well take it. But 831 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys, I think that's a smart move 832 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: considering you're letting Cooper go. So so let's at least 833 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: have the tight end that we know our quarterback has 834 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: a report or report with and our coaching staff knows 835 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: and understands. Yes, he's got some limitations in blocking, but 836 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: this now falls upon them as an organization. Go find 837 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: someone block. Hopefully Kellen can get him getting right. But 838 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: so so Spase, you you had the franchise tag was 839 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: two years? Two years? Like, how did that process work? 840 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: Like I never got the opportunity to go to that 841 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: franchise and how how do that think work? So like 842 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: when when you were going through it, you know, how 843 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 1: did that work for for your situation? I was trying 844 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 1: to get a long term deal. I wanted to finish 845 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: my career here. We just getting CI to I like 846 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: I thought, I believe that was one thing and they 847 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,479 Speaker 1: believed that was another thing. So it worked out in 848 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: the because I ended up making what they were trying 849 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: to sign me for my signing botus for the first 850 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: year and then the next year I get ended up 851 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: getting signed it again. So I had like a guaranteed 852 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: me three years for I want to say, thirty million. 853 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: I made the eighteen and the two years that I 854 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: got franchise, and I got guaranteed those two years guaranteed. 855 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: If I could do it again, I probably would took 856 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: the long, longer term deal, seeing what happened with my 857 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: injuries and all that type of stuff. So but it 858 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: was a it was a frustrating time for me. Yeah, 859 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: I can't believe him. Yeah, So more Cowboys news to 860 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,439 Speaker 1: get into here, jay Ron curse safety free agency. So 861 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprised, I'm that's one. I'm surprised that they didn't 862 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: reach out to and try to get something on the books. 863 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: So maybe they have, you know, maybe they haven't. We 864 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: haven't heard him it yet. But to me, he was 865 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: one of the more important players on this defense last year. 866 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: You know, he had the green dot and you all 867 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: you know about the green dot. Thatt means you gotta 868 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: get everybody on the defense aligned and community Hayden and 869 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: ready to go in on the same page. And I 870 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: feel like he did a great job of that, and 871 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: it also allowed we talked about it in the previous shows. 872 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: It also allowed Michael Parsons to become just a sea ball, 873 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: go get ball. He didn't have to worry about, you know, 874 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: lining people up and getting the calls from the coaches. 875 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: He just heard what he had to do hard. Let 876 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: me go get ball, Go sea ball. So, you know, 877 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: I think Curse and plus Curse played, you know how 878 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: that kind of heck of a season he was. You know, 879 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: he was part of one of the man reason that 880 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: they were able to play so well on the defensive 881 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: side of the ball. So I would be surprised if 882 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: with all the cap space they kind of freed up, 883 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: if they didn't, you know, reach out to him to 884 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: try to get him done. I think he's one of 885 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: the more important players on his defense. Yeah, most I 886 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 1: feel like having those guys out there that can communicate 887 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: to the rest of the defense, like it just it's 888 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: something that you just don't see, like those those intangibles, 889 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: like with Cooper, like the double teams and things that 890 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: he was bringing, Like those are the things that you 891 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: don't see, but it makes the team better and you 892 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: can't you there's no analytics for that exactly, there's no 893 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: stat for it, so you can't really judge it. But 894 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,280 Speaker 1: it's very it's it's it's invaluable. Yes, I would agree. 895 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: So this may be a case and the Cowboys have 896 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: done this before. All right, see what you can get 897 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: and call us back, because while curse has value here, 898 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: this is value translate to other teams in the same way. Yeah, 899 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: I think he's kind of a scheme guy because we 900 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen he's been in the league within 901 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: like six years now. Detroit Ministry, they said, you know, 902 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: we're good. So so that's the that's the interesting type 903 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 1: of situation here, and it will be one thing. Let's 904 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 1: say dan Quinn left, or let's say dan Quinn got 905 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: the job in Denver, got the job in Chicago, then 906 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: maybe it's a different story because then maybe they're bidding 907 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: on it. But since dan Quinn is back and no 908 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: one else of significance from the defensive coaching staff has 909 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: gone anywhere else, so maybe no one else views him 910 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: in that fashion. So so letting him go out on 911 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: the market and see what he can get. I could 912 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: understand that that thought process. Bobby Wagner's name has come 913 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: up a whole lot of Seattle. Let him go. You're 914 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,479 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who I believe will at least 915 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: be on the ballot list for the Pro Football Hall Fame. 916 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: He's done. I don't know if he gets in, but 917 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: but you gotta gotta at least has to be in 918 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: the conversation Luke's getting in. If Luke Keith Lee isn't, 919 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: he got to because they were on it. They were basically, 920 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 1: for you know, eight years, the two best linebackers in 921 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: the national football and that's Keith. Lee's another interesting guy. 922 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,959 Speaker 1: He's just just you definitely have on the ballot, gets 923 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: in the conversation, getting in as a whole as d 924 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 1: Ware We've seen that's a whole, another another, it's a 925 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: whole another special. But at least have your ain't talked 926 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: about to get on the list. Definitely that kind of 927 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: player here. A lot of folks want Bobby Wagner here, 928 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: but let's be up, there's not a lot of catch. Yeah, 929 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: and he's gonna cost It's gonna cost you. I mean 930 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: just with with the the championships that he's won, the 931 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: experiences that he has, the knowledge of the game. I 932 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: mean that those types of things, those those can be measured. 933 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: So you'll definitely have to pay for that. And he's done. 934 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: He's been in like you said, he's been in a 935 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: Quinn system before when he was a d Q or 936 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 1: DC over in Seattle, So he knows the guys system. 937 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: He can come in. He could take a lot of 938 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: pressure off of those guys, but you know, getting them 939 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: lined up and the direction he can play beside Parsons, 940 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: or you can move Parsons down to the defensive line 941 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: let him do having there. So it's a veteran guy 942 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: that a lot of people on this young defense can 943 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: learn off of. I'm a big proponent of leadership and 944 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: what else guys bring to the room. And Bobby Wagner 945 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: walks in with a ring and to put a Bobby 946 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 1: Wagner next to a Michael Parsons the kind of leadership 947 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: he can learn from because we've seen what Mica has 948 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: done in terms of going to your old teammate DeMarcus Ware, 949 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, and just just learning from that. And even 950 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: take Launce with his career turn around going and talking 951 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: to a DeMarcus Ware. So you're bringing a guy like 952 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner man. You know, there's the price that you 953 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: pay for the player, but what kind of benefit do 954 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: you get when a great young player watches a guy 955 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: who's got a Hall of Fame like career on a 956 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: daily basis. I go back, and this is just me. 957 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: The biggest mistake Bud Adams, the late Bud Adams made 958 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,439 Speaker 1: when he owned his football team, was drafting Vince Young 959 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: but cutting Steve McNair. What he should have done was 960 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: keep Steve McNair there and have Vince Young learned from 961 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: Steve McNair, because the problem with Vince Young was never 962 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: the problem. Problem was just he didn't know how to 963 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: be a pro the way you needed to be a pro, 964 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,720 Speaker 1: and to watch a guy like McNair do it. Because 965 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: Vince had a hell of a lot of respect for him. 966 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was the thing that he could have done. 967 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: But you tried to save some money. Here, you save 968 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 1: some money, but Vince was Rookie of the Year and 969 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 1: they want a playoff game. But still what he could 970 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: have learned from watching a pro. I just believe you 971 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: look at Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers learned from me. You 972 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: got to see what it was like for Brett Farker. 973 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, people right now talk about taking somebody in 974 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: the first round for a quarterback. To me, I go 975 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: over there at Green Band. Here's a two. Give me 976 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. Geordan Love been watching Aaron Rodgers before I 977 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks I see right now they talk about drafting 978 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: like he's got question marks before I deal a question 979 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: mark there, go give me Jordan Love. Has been in 980 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 1: the league two years, who when Aaron Rodgers was sitting out, 981 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: got to run the off season program and just give 982 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: me that guy. I just think there's something to be 983 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: learned from from great players. But you guys played so 984 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: no better than me. Whether that guy's I feel like 985 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 1: it's it's the most important thing for a young player 986 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,359 Speaker 1: to do is to find an older guy that's been 987 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,760 Speaker 1: in it for a while and just to see their routine, 988 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: the things that they do on a weekly basis, how 989 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: they recover, how they get ready for the game, and 990 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: how they perform during the game. You like, those things 991 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: all go hand in hand. So having somebody in the 992 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: locker room like that, like the Greg Ellis and the 993 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Wars and the Jason Wittens, like those guys are 994 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: you can't you can't, you can't pay enough for him? Yeah, 995 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 1: Greg Ellis, boy, you talk about the guy who's just 996 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: steady every day. Man. I love GREGI gret greg Ellis 997 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: was and I know people consistently talk about how the 998 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys took him and stead of Randy Moss. But UM 999 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: tell you what, you if you could draft a Greg 1000 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: Ellis on your football team every year, you'd be a 1001 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: really good football team for a long time. Effect because 1002 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: because this guy every I love what Mike Zimmers, I 1003 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about him on game day. He's 1004 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: gonna do his job. He's he's gonna be where he is. 1005 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: And when you get a guy like that, like a Wagner, 1006 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: it holds the defensive accountability. Let me, I think, you know, 1007 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,760 Speaker 1: these penalties that we we've seen happened throughout the season 1008 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 1: and came to bite us in the butt, you know, 1009 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: during that playoff game. You know, I think if you 1010 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: got a guy with his resume and in just his stature, 1011 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: he'll get after guys and hold him accountable. And guys 1012 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: are like, you know, hey, we can't make this situation 1013 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: because or make this situation worse because we're hurting the team. 1014 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: And if you get that type of leadership out there 1015 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the football, I think they 1016 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: have it. You know, in that offensive line and some 1017 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: of their veteran players, but on the defense, it was 1018 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: relatively extremely young. I mean, you had the dlogue, you know, 1019 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: but he was hurt the majority of the year, so 1020 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: hard it's hard to have that that that if you're 1021 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: not out there playing. It's hard to tell a guy voice. 1022 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,800 Speaker 1: Hard to have a voice when you're not doing it. Exactly. Yeah, 1023 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: all right, Uh, let's spend our last ten minutes of 1024 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: this players Podcast brought to you about hotels dot Com 1025 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: talking about the offensive line. Lell Collins reportedly told by 1026 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys he can seek a trade. So, um 1027 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: Collins if he's a post June one cut saves um 1028 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: ten million dollars under the twenty twenty two cap here. 1029 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: They clearly love Terrence Steele. So at this point in time, 1030 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,359 Speaker 1: I just feel once they come, once they come telling 1031 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: you to go seek a trade, they or they ask you, 1032 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: yeah right, we we we got other plans. So your 1033 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: thoughts on Collins not being here to me, He it's 1034 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: kind of a sicky situation because he has no one 1035 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: to blame pretty much back but himself, because you know, 1036 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: if he would have come came back, didn't that whole 1037 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 1: situation where he got suspended for five games and all 1038 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: that stuff. We would have never heard about Terren Steele. 1039 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 1: You know, if Terren Steele played the year before and 1040 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: he didn't play at a very good level, and if 1041 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,760 Speaker 1: Collins was here, we would have never seen Terren Steele 1042 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: in this whole situation might not have ever happened. So 1043 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: to me, you know, Collins has to blame a little bit, 1044 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: has to put the blame on himself or being in 1045 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 1: this situation. But for me, it's I'm confused because I'm like, 1046 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: hold on, you know, Collins asking him to seek a trade. 1047 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: What about Tyren Smith? Like, you know that he's been 1048 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 1: a very very great player for a very long time, 1049 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: but these past three seasons he's missed on average five six, 1050 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, seven games out there, and no one's you know, 1051 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 1: asking this guy to you know, hey, we need you 1052 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 1: to you know, you know, we work this deal. I mean, 1053 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 1: I know he doesn't have a high cap hit because 1054 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: he's sound that super team friendly deal. But are you 1055 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: really gonna count on, you know, ten games every year 1056 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: from your starting left tackle or do you think you 1057 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 1: should put something in there or somebody in there to 1058 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, help bolster that line or at least give 1059 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: him some competition to where he's a made man. I understand, 1060 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: but but it's like the team like Jerry Jerry. These 1061 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: left tackles under Jerry Man, they're made man. And you 1062 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: may say, man, I'm ready to move off. He probably 1063 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: held on the flozelle two three years longer than he 1064 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: needed to. But that's how Jerry feels about these left tackles. 1065 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: So you, you and mccrai need to move off there. 1066 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: But who do we go through if he goes down 1067 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 1: for five hiring is here? This is about Collins and 1068 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,839 Speaker 1: then feeling that they've got sick down to second over there. 1069 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, but at this point in time, here's 1070 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 1: what we do know. They liked tearing steal Sealfully, so 1071 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: he played well at right tackles and when they tried 1072 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: him at left it wasn't the same. He's a right tackle, 1073 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: so they're going to say right tackle, we'll move on 1074 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: from Collins. College is not a left If College is 1075 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: a lefty, they'd be talking about it. They don't feel 1076 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,280 Speaker 1: as a left tackle, they don't feel as a guard, 1077 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 1: talked about the bend on it. So so they're going 1078 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 1: to move on from Collins, and I don't know what 1079 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: they can get, but in this league, I mean, if 1080 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: you Cincinnati Bengals, why not offer up a two. Your 1081 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: dude just got thirty one sacks nine, right, I mean right? So, 1082 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean if you, if you are the Bengals, what 1083 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 1: are you waiting on? You should have been that you 1084 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: should have been you haul on down here to come 1085 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 1: get him and taken. They're gonna get another skill player? 1086 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: Why point? I mean right now? I mean that that's 1087 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 1: that's the key. You know, you you may have won 1088 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 1: a super Bowl if you could have protected your quarterback here. 1089 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: So I think there's a market for college Denvers, a 1090 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: team that was rumored out there. We saw what they 1091 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 1: did when they got ron Leary. Ron Learry left left 1092 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: because because they got Collins and Ron Leary had a 1093 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: he had a really nice career up in there. And 1094 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: then for so to me, somebody's gonna get college, You're 1095 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,239 Speaker 1: gonna get a motivated player. I can't imagine this is 1096 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,400 Speaker 1: not embarrassing to him that your team's basically giving up 1097 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: on the secret trade. You lost your job to undraft 1098 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: to do from Texas Tech. You gotta look at it. 1099 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 1: I mean when he even when he came back, it 1100 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: wasn't like his job was back immediately. I mean he 1101 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: had he was playing fullback for you know, a game 1102 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: or two. So it just goes to show you what 1103 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: this what the team really thinks about you. And if 1104 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 1: I'm him, I'm saying, Okay, you know, let me see 1105 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: what my markets like out there. You know, obviously I'm 1106 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: not valued here. And but like I said in the beginning, 1107 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,439 Speaker 1: he has no one else to blame but a self. 1108 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: But what's your thoughts on this whole offensive line? You know, 1109 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: how they you know, basically we're playing fantasy football, mismatching 1110 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: people here and there. We had some weak links. YEA, 1111 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: the line is aging, So it is I feel like 1112 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: a lot for the last two I would say years. 1113 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 1: I feel like they're living off the hype of the 1114 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 1: three previous Yes there, they're living off of that thinking 1115 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: that they were what they weren't. So and this this 1116 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 1: game has a way of showing you who you really are. 1117 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 1: So and that's really what's happened over the last two years. 1118 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,439 Speaker 1: And they they have to find some way to be better, 1119 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 1: be more consistent, be more available, you know, I mean, 1120 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: like you're saying with tires like they got, they gotta 1121 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 1: find players that are going to be out there and 1122 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: consistent because those those groups they work as one. I mean, 1123 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,959 Speaker 1: they have to have that that continuity to be able 1124 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: to move those other big lining on the other side 1125 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: of the ball. So it's it's it's I feel like 1126 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 1: they're in a really tough spot. They got a few 1127 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 1: different positions that need to fill up there, and they 1128 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: need backups behind those glass They are going to be hurt. 1129 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:42,759 Speaker 1: So I mean it's tough. It's real tough, you know. 1130 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: So they gotta they just gotta find a way. And 1131 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 1: and having tiring, I feel like it's a good thing 1132 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 1: just because of the player that he has been and 1133 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: like we were talking about early, like he's been in 1134 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: those games he's been, He's gone up against a lot 1135 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: of different types of players, so his mind is a 1136 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: little bit higher up than where his body probably is 1137 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 1: right now. But he has that knowledge that he can 1138 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: distill onto those players, you know what I meant in 1139 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 1: presence exactly, And like you said, we still playing on 1140 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:09,799 Speaker 1: the right side. He can't more to the list side, 1141 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: like it's a whole another monster over there. But just 1142 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: being able to do those Yeah, I mean being able 1143 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,959 Speaker 1: to go over there and and lose, but you still 1144 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: get better by playing on that side and then going 1145 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 1: back to this side. I mean, so it is what 1146 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, yeah, but Collins next guy to probably 1147 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 1: be going, and with the league year coming up here, 1148 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: I could see something getting done and obviously teams somebody's 1149 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna want him. Oh yeah. I mean, if you're trading 1150 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: Cooper for for twenty million dollars, this guy's making ten. 1151 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 1: He's a starter in the league. There's just too many 1152 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: teams who have offensive line issues at so I expect 1153 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,800 Speaker 1: a deal to go down for him, and to me, um, 1154 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: I would need a three or four from the Cowboys least. Yeah, 1155 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: some type of value, you know, don't let him just 1156 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 1: walk out the door. Yeah, brings something back to the 1157 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: table and something. Yeah, if he's gone, right tackle, I 1158 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 1: mean I'm pursuing. You know, Connor Williams is gonna be 1159 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: gone in free agency, that's sure. What right guard or 1160 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: left guard? Left guard? So, I mean, what are we 1161 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: gonna do that center? Do we believe? Be honest? Is 1162 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 1: the answer? At center? You know, I don't know. There's 1163 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 1: a whole lot of question marks on this offensive line 1164 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: up front, a lot of them. You gotta shure that 1165 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,919 Speaker 1: up before the season starts because that's probably, if not 1166 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,440 Speaker 1: the most important, one of the most important positions field. 1167 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 1: Look that this is this is an off season of 1168 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,479 Speaker 1: a lot of change, and they're making moves and we'll 1169 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,880 Speaker 1: keep talking about it right here on the Players Line podcast. 1170 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 1: But there's so much to go. You got Tom Brady, 1171 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: who's back. I couldn't believe I've seen that yesterday.

Philadelphia is the name of another NFC team. 1187 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: So here's the sean in AFC. It could be popular 1188 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: with this way here. So it's gonna be interesting to 1189 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: see where the FC is loaded with quarterbacks. Now that 1190 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: you got Russell Wilson, Hustle, Joe Uh, Joe what's his 1191 00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 1: name not Joe Brady, Joe Burrow Burn Rulson, I mean 1192 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: got my homes?

Man, 1199 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 1: this odds went down. Um. I just don't understand how 1200 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: you can commit twenty six million dollars to a guy 1201 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: who who you keep asking him about a year that 1202 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: he had one he had one good year, one good year, 1203 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: and you still holding onto that like, man, we think 1204 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: he can go back get that one good year. No, 1205 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't. He wasn't even the quarterback for the whole year. 1206 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: Was he got hurt. And that's the thing I can 1207 00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 1: crack up on me. Where who else do we in 1208 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: the talking about?
