Here 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.000 if Frisco, Texas guy had Ma Harrison in the house, 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:46.280 Barry Church, Lexon, Lexon. 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.920 And beautiful in here with their foolishness today. 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.320 Man, that's he bought the shirt like that. He bought 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.879 the shirt like that when he when he tried it on, 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.920 he knew it was a three x you knowing style. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:10.399 In Italy right here on the players Oh boy, oh boy, but. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.399 Ceed lamb conversation. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.760 Somebody asked me on the way down, what do you 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.640 guys tell people, because because you know, Cowboy fans come 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.000 up to their ass. So what do you say when 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.280 people ask you about the country, Is it going to 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:22.520 get there? 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:22.880 What do you say? 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.959 You know what the hardest thing for me to do 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.960 is try and articulate them, you know, pretty much holding 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.120 this deal over CD's head right now when you've already 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:37.679 have a placer there, so it I can't clearly articulate 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.720 to anyone why this thing hasn't been done so far 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.560 when we know that thirty five is the number. I 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.240 think it becomes frustrating when you start looking at Okay, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.760 when does CD need to be into camp? How does 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.000 him and Dak and the rest of this offense get 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.320 back in rhythm with any with each other? Especially the 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.640 way that we ended the season off you would think 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.960 that this season, this particular season, would you about all 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.600 hands on deck, everybody getting back down together because of 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.600 the home record that we had and just knowing that, look, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.600 you felt good about last year's team, all you need 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.680 to do is take the next step. If Cedee Lamb 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.280 has look, what was it, ten games with one hundred 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.720 and some seven games with ten catches, he does that 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.520 in the first four games of the season, You're looking 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.560 at a guy that maybe finishes with two thousand yards. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.760 Are all ifs and maybes and hope it's on the table. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.760 I haven't get it out, but either way, there's. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:31.600 No way to explain it. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.160 It doesn't make sense now, it doesn't make sense at all. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.280 And you know, we talked a little bit before the show. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.040 I just don't understand why, you know, you're basically your offense, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.680 which is CD, you're passing attack. Because outside of you know, CD, 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.840 you have Ferguson, who's you know, he's a good tight 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.760 end and upcoming tight end. You got Cooks who's up 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.480 there in age. But other than that, CD is your 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.560 passing attack. Why does he have to go up the 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.000 river and through the woods, you know, to get his money? 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.800 And we all understand you said it earlier. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.920 The number is thirty five, and I can see if 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.080 it was, you know, comparing Justin Jefferson to a you know, 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.360 Devonte Smith out and out in Philly, where it's like 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.320 there's a big gap in there. But to me, the 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.400 gap between Justin Jefferson and Cede Lamb, it's if there is, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.680 it'snu it's minute, you know, it's it's as much it's 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.080 a little bit. So I don't see the disconnect there. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.600 You got your number, what you want to where you 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.040 want to be at. And we talked about you know, 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.919 this team wanting to take that next step and being 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.880 you know, considered a true contender for their ultimate goal, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:26.799 which is the Super Bowl. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.120 You can't achieve that without your man in the building. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.480 And the only thing that is doing right now with 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.600 this negotiations, it's hurting that chemistry, it's hurting what that 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.600 team is going to try to become. And to me, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.160 you got to get that man in the building as 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.000 soon as possible. Do I think it's gonna take you know, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.160 months for him and that to get you know, a connection. No, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:44.920 it might take a week or two for them to 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.080 get that connection going. But overall, you got to get 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:48.880 the man in the building. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.040 Man. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.280 So I asked this question by someone in this building, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.080 and I said, it'll get done and he'll get paid 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.440 and we'll just hit I say, why didn't get done earlier? 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.200 Because at this point in time, this is now trend 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.120 How quickly we forget last year Zach Mark want his 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.600 money sitting down and what Jerry Jerry was doing? 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.960 Nope, nope, And I bought it off. I just I 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.920 just sat there and ate the whole bowl of Jerry saying. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:24.520 Zach stut that got paid of course, and he came in, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.479 stepped in offense, went went went right on down the road. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.240 So I expect the same thing to happen for cd Lamb. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.239 This is not a new offense. He knows the offense. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.360 He knows Dak Prescott. They'll get him signed and off 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.800 he'll go. I'm not worried about Ceedee Lamb from the 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.400 standpoint of him as a player. You do have questions 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.320 about being in football shape. George hamstrings, those types of 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.800 injuries that happened. There's a concern there. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.719 But it's going to get done. He's going to get paid. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.880 Dak Prescott went through this, tank, Lawrence went through this, 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.680 e isekil Elliott went through this, Amari Cooper went through this. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.120 We just this is how it goes right right now. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.560 When we start talking about guys who are good players 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.560 who want their money, they're having to sit up here 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.400 and play this dance. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.880 I don't get why, but this is what we see. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.719 Are you guys concerned at all about, you know, a 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:21.240 slow start, because this isn't you know the Jets, the Patriots, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.560 the Giants that you're starting out with. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.400 Brother, we already talked about this. So if it's. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.320 Slow, if you McCarthy and you're on that on that 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.560 year where hey, things got to happen fast. Like I said, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.000 they're not going to get some cupkick teams to start 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.719 the season. We rattled off the guys that they got 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.240 to go against to start the season. Right, if your 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.719 season goes off one and at they start off. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.760 One and three, one and four at. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.200 Cleveland, home against the Saints, home against the Ravens, Thursday 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.039 night at the Giants, then a home game against the Pittsburgh's. No, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.279 a road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then a home 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.240 game is against the Detroit Lions. Then a road game 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:58.719 at the forty nine Ers. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.279 Wouldn't you want all your sal just firing. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.240 With a small little break from the Falcons on the road. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.200 Did he get home and you face the Eagles at home? 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.800 Then you get the Texans at home? 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:10.760 You know nothing? 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.159 So the facton is the easiest thing. We lay that 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:14.880 so you. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.080 Might becall you I want all my cylinders rolling once 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.920 the season start. I wanted to, you know, get this 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.840 ramped up, slow start, so you know, I want my 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.600 guy in the building a sat but that you know. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.040 They can catch this els right exactly. You know how 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.400 Cowboys is? 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.760 You know, you know, here's the thing, and aside from 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.240 those first five games, aside from those first five games, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.720 how many of those teams especially starting out the first 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.520 quarter of the season our NFC champion. You know teams 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.599 that obviously you have the San Francisco on there. You 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.760 know what they did, But that wasn't you said one 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.240 and four? Right, Baltimore, you said one and four. So 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.680 I'm just going over the first part of the season 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.640 before we build these guys up to be world beating 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.520 since we don't do it every week, right, we're gonna 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.680 do it every right Now, Cleveland is a world beater, right, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.240 but we're not gonna come back to this three weeks 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.600 later when Cleveland loses to Jacksonville and say, oh man, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.720 but when they come up against us, they world beater us. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.400 I'm gonna just say this right now. The news cycle 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.600 for Dallas Cowboy fans have got to be it's got 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.400 to have you frustrated because all you're hearing is this doubt, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.360 intrepidation about the Dallas Cowboys. Now ceedee, lamb hold Now 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.960 does not make this look good. It doesn't. You need 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.840 that biggest piece of your offense in the building. But 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.920 are there other teams dealing with the same thing? Does 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.520 Is there history where a main part of your offense 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.600 was holding out and then came back and you still 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.360 had success to the season. I'm just saying that there 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.080 is a road map to this and that's not before 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.920 we continue with this dark cloud. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.200 But I don't know, to be real, he is the offense, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.480 Like I can't see if it was one piece. Serve 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.440 you know a little bit. That man is the offense. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.000 Chris Jones last year. I mean, I'm sorry, Chris Jones 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.120 last year for Kansas City. He holds out, But I 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.440 think that ends well for Kansas City after Chris Jones 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.320 holds out, right, Yeah, okay, So I mean, let's not 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.360 act like it's burn the boats. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.320 I don't know. They're in the NFL. They're in the NFL, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:11.400 so we're gonna pount them out. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.560 You ask me to ask You asked me about somebody, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.760 and I pointed that out exception. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.960 I will tell you this, when we start saying anything 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.240 with Kansas City. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.920 You can't take them off the table. So that's the 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.440 point to me. They're an except two times super Bowl champions. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.600 They but and you know, I. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.080 Am literally with you on that, because the news cycle 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.280 will dictate that you would think the Cowboys won the 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.400 Super Bowl last year because year and the year before that, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.480 because Look, Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of his 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.760 fourth super Bowl, three in a row, and I think 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.000 that's notable. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.400 You should talk about that. But what are we talking about. 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.880 We're talking about the Dallas Cowboys who rules and runs 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.119 the news cycle. And I'm telling you, Cowboy Nations, I'm exhausted. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.600 I'm exhausted because I think right now, like you guys 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.800 are saying, right now, we're one and four, Oh my god, 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.560 there's a hole in the boat and where we started 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.439 the season yet, So you're telling me your main weapon, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.400 the weapon, we gotta sign him if he's not in 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.040 the building. That doesn't No, I'm not sitting here telling 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.360 you and trying to convince you my hopium is not 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.760 that good, all right, So I'm not saying that. I 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.520 think that we start off week one against the against 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.319 out in Cleveland and we don't have cd on and 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.360 Cavante Turpin is out there, Jalen you know Brooks. So 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.360 I come on, man, we got a bunch of we 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.320 got a bunch of threes and fours, but we know 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.200 we need our main dog. And I think that's the 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.440 frustrating thing about it and why we can't get this 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.440 done and now he is saying, look, that's just the 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.280 song and dance that at the front office usually plays 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.280 for it for its superstar players. But we expect for 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.080 it to get done because otherwise, you see what I see? 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.360 How do we get through this first part of the 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.520 season without our main guy. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.840 He just changes so much of what a defensive coordinator 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.000 is going to call. But it's gonna get done. That's 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.160 all of this. And I don't watch the debate shows. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:10.640 I spare myself with that. But we know the Cowboys 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.520 are a driving topic of the show fourteen that's on 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.760 the verge of possibly being the first to win three 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.920 Super Bowls in a row. I hardly ever see enough 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.480 talked about with Kansas City and what the road they're 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.920 going down. So that's why I think cowboy fan comes 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.199 up to you hack them on the street and they're 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.640 asking you, Barry, when you're out there golf and going 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.880 on here, people hit me up and I'm just telling 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.280 you it's going to get done. The deal's going to 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.160 get done, and then we'll try to figure oh, okay, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.800 well what about dak The storyline is going to be 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.880 set until these deals are done that people want to 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.720 make and talk about them, and then Jerry likes this. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.480 Can we admit that to Jerry enjoys this. Microphones are 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.240 coming up here, He's what am I gonna say? 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.280 And this? And then you go on air, you know 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.160 we do need city all this stuff. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.679 I don't know, I'm not panicking. I mean all of 0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.880 Jerry enjoys this. 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.040 Man ultimate business man. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.880 Yes, in the negotiator, he enjoys it. And so when 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.600 they're talking about we oll they offered in thirty three, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.000 he wants thirty five. And so there's another thing. Where 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.400 do you think we in the media get that kind 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:12.000 of number from? 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.040 Yeah, where did that come from? That's true? That leaked out. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.360 You take something this that leaked out. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.080 You got text with somebody. Heck, we just to let 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.080 you know, Barry, I mean, that's that's what happens. Yeah, 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.079 of course, throw it on out there. Then you hear 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.360 thirty three. Oh you know, then the average Joe fan, 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.920 Oh my gosh, hocky, do you not take thirty three? 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.120 How much do you need? Exactly? 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.640 I got that whole thing. The other perception part that 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.480 fans love to jump on. Yeah, that thing goes out 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.040 that we've seen that happen before. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:42.440 That's that. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.440 This is all part of the negotiations. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.480 But at the end of the day, I'm just telling 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.720 you the deal will get done because ask yourself, then 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.240 ask yourself this, when's the last time it didn't get 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.640 done for a player that Jerry really wanted. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.400 Yeah, it's just something about this season that's a little 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.000 the wave that last season, and it just makes this 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.240 season just a little bit different. There's a twins, there's 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.440 something different about it because you have three market setting 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.480 deals that are going to be on the table. I 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.120 don't know a lot of teams that have to face that. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760 I mean San Francisco maybe in that vein where they're 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.160 resetting the market with each deal that they have to do, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.439 especially with their quarterback coming up. But you know in 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.000 BCU more than anybody can speak to this that you 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.200 can't be mad at these players for chasing the bag. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.199 You know you can't. And it's just like, give you 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.800 a class example. Out in Cincinnati, Jamar Chase is dealing 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.560 with the owner who has been known to be a 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.400 fierce negotiator, and Paul Brown is telling him, I'm not 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:36.960 even negotiating this this year. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.600 But what is Jamar Chase saying? I don't care. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.880 I'm gonna sit in all right, because guys are as 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.040 intimidated as are gonna acquiesce because there's no state tax, 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.400 and all guys want the bag. And anybody getting upset 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.320 with guys that are chasing the bag and knowing what 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.320 their value is, you only get one time to get 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:56.600 you what you're worth. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.760 And you can't be mad at yeah, because you know, 0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:59.480 look at the other way. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.040 If if he goes out there and God forbid this happens, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.600 gets injured, then what man, tough break, Man tough break. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.160 We'll circle back and see what you look like after this. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:14.160 You know, injuries healed up so MANIAI Dak Prescott a 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.199 quarter exam, but that's the quarterback he'll talk about. Receive 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.600 the quarterback you gonna get achilles. Wasn't that kir Cousin 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.000 had achilles? He still got the bad wide Receive it. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.880 You get a serious injury defensive lineman, linebacker. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.760 I think a player like Cede Lamb and what he 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.680 did last year would still find himself paid. Cooper Cooper 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.520 cup the Rams injured last year with Pooka, the coup 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.880 are going off. Pook Theo was showing. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.840 Like you know, my baby. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.160 If Cooper, if Cooper cup is on the market's gonna 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.559 get paid because he's a prime receiver. And when I 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.240 look at Cede Lamb, that's the same type of thing 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.000 like this dude being hurt would still get a monster 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.840 contract because how many CD Lambs are there out there, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.000 They're just ain't a bunch of This is a special player, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.360 and I don't use that word very much, but this 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.440 is a special player. And if the special player hurt 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.080 his knees, special player would get paid. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.520 But when he gets market setting paid, what. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.319 He's trying to well, you know that's a fair point, 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:17.560 which is also why he's not there, which is why 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.840 this is why he's chilling wherever he's act because he's 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.680 going to make sure that doesn't happen exactly, which is 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.080 what any smart agent would would do, would be Whereas 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.920 Dak is on the other side of Hey, I'm a quarterback. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.200 I've got to be here, I got to play this 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.720 thing out. And you said, Kirk Cousins, he is showing 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.480 you me, bad Achilles. They're still going to get you 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:32.720 a back. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.320 Still got the bag, old man bad. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.760 Achilles, never could move anyway, Still getting the bad So 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.800 Dak is getting paid for the people out there, but 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:40.720 there's too much of you. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.440 Guess what he's gonna get. Get it. He's going to get. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.920 Dallas Cowboys or whoever that Dak Prescott is going to 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.840 find himself as a paid individual. We can talk about 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.520 Ceedee Lamb all day long and what he'll do, but 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.080 here's just the honest facts of this. And we'll come 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.080 back from the break talk about this part. Unless these 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.080 offensive line questions get answered and so we start to 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.760 see this thing fall into shape, it may not matter 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.040 the Cowboys take on the Chargers Sunday in their final 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.680 preseason game. The offensive line is definitely still a question mark. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.640 Let's speak about one position, a critical position on that 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.120 offensive line.
