Any y'all 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.040 watch Masters yesterday. You know what, I did not see 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.120 much of it, saw the highlights, but you Nate. Yeah, 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.120 I walked in the house. My wife told me Tagger 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:08.200 had one, and everybody was crying and slobing. I I 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.239 don't one thing. If I don't like the sport name, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.799 and if I don't watch the sport, I don't try 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.040 to you know, I mean, great, great photiger. But yeah, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.880 I didn't watch any of it either. I hate that 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.800 I missed it. I used to play a lot, did you? Yeah, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.720 you know when I quit when whenever I used to 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.239 play during the summers, and then whenever I moved here, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.320 I played a lot the first couple of years I 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.360 was here, and then my buddy had a boat. So 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.359 on the weekends it was either go to the lake. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.520 Oh I out there in the cove, yep, go to 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.560 the lake drink a lot of beer, or go to 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.160 the golf course and drink a lot of beer. And 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.480 I chose the lake for more more pretty obvious reasons. Yes, yes, so, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.840 and then the other thing that happened last night, or 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.040 either one of y'all watch a Game of Thrones. No, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.000 my wife watched No Spoiling Please, Douglas, do you watch it? 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.920 I watch it, but I missed it last night. My 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.639 wife was sick and I have to watch it with her. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:14.560 There's a new king all I'm gonna say, yeah, it's good. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:19.120 It's good, Douglas. It's it's pretty uneventful. But they have 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.160 set in motion about eight different storylines and you don't 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.200 know which direction. And you know the best thing about 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.800 that show, what Dragons, is when it come on and 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.639 they build each city. Oh yeah, and they got a 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.200 new show opening for this season. Yeah, when they build 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.200 each city, that's what I like. I'll be like, wow, 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.880 this is nice building the cities. After that, who cares? 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.880 I just want to I just wanted to dragons to 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.520 slay everybody. I mean not not often a show with 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.440 like open incest is as wildly popular as this thing is. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.720 I'm that description of the show. But I'm gonna tell 0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:01.240 you what's so funny, Doug? I'm sorry. Uh, I'm just 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.840 gonna let one of the queens try to get funny 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.960 with the dragon lady like, got it? What dude? Dragons z? 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.040 She looked no bad to say anything? You know what? 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.880 I almost said it out loud before she did. Yeah, anything, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.719 they won't. Yeah, better, you better watch it while we 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.280 do the show broken. Let me give it up. He 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.040 may you need to get Yeah, if you need to binge, 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.800 watch it, Kurt, I think you'd like it. You gotta 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.800 give it like five or six episodes. You know what 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.279 many shows I watched this? How this has been on? 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.039 How many none? How'd you know that comment? Because I 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.400 watch Pieces of I make my wife think I don't 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.040 like it. I don't want to watch it, So I 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.920 watch Pieces of Right, and I don't watch just enough 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.120 to stay until you know what's going on. It's pretty good, Doug, 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.040 you're gonna like it. I didn't watch some Masters or 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.000 a Game of Thrones. I'm just I feel totally out 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.920 of you should societies loopate watches all the brothel scenes. No, man, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.560 I tell you what they here's some there's some stuff 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.640 going on in that show. Brom. I'm gonna tell you 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:06.520 something that's and I'm saying this. Don't don't call in 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.840 here telling me how athletes should act, because if I 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.000 actually do you watch the Game of Thrones, because I 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.839 know if you watch it, your kids watch it. So 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.479 don't tell me how athletes should act. Because the Game 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.760 of Thrones is not for kids at all, not a 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.800 family show. No it's not. It's not. Hear little kids, 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.640 your Game of Thrones is good. Last night. You ain't 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.920 nothing but ten years old. And I promise you your 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.159 mom and dadd I tell you how athletes should act. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.360 After you don't see eight women with one man come 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:41.719 on and some women with women bro that with men. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.440 That one young lady told the priest like I ain't 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.440 ain't like older, and the priests like, you'll die of 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.360 your dive pots before you get old. Watching the show, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.840 you seem to know he knows all about it. He 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.120 knows all that he This is Nate being like, no, 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.440 I don't watch that stuff, but he I guarantee you 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.919 he knows, he knows. But is this a show about 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.160 the No? No, no, you getting down the game? So 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.760 which one of the dragons? You didn't neither one of 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.680 you watch The Masters or Game of Thrones, But Kurt, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.880 you did watch something over the last few days. It 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.840 was actually listened to. It was a podcast. And this 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.880 goes back to the Marcus Lawrence. Yeah, what you haven't 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.720 really had time. You weren't here to come in on 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.480 Dragon's He's probably Dracarious, which is the he's the the 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.279 the Red and Black one. Yeah, he looked he looked 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.960 at your boy last night. Yeah he saw that. Yeah. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:43.120 Oh yeah, Doug, you're gonna get Nate's gonna tell you 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.960 the whole show. A bit of catch up there, Doug. Yeah, Well, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.000 tonight's tonight, all right, order you a pizza from Papa John's, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.320 and you and the lady just hunker down and waste 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.360 that hour there you go there? All right? All right? 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.320 So Kurt, what happens. Oh, I like it, like it. Yeah, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.360 I'm glad they got it done. I mean, you pay 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.320 the man. Now, you got two legitimate threats on both ends, 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.520 which is gonna make your secondary better, your locker room. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.640 You tighten that up. You know, they did what d 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.720 Law said. De Law said, they told him, you know, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.400 we're gonna get this thing done just and that. You know, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.760 sometimes negotiations aren't pretty, yes, and this one wasn't actually, 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.680 especially when you're talking about millions and millions and millions 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.600 of dollars. So yeah, his h Lawrence's agent, David Kent, 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.960 went on a podcast last Monday, the Business of Sports 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.280 Podcast with Andrew Brand, and he was really revealing. And 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.640 you don't a lot of times just kind of held 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.160 close to the vest, you don't hear what goes on 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.960 behind the scenes. But David really kind of let loose 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.200 on what was happening and almost makes you kind of 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.600 surprise the deal got done the way it did, and 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.920 maybe this is common way these negotiations work, but from 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.080 the get go it was just kind of a I 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.120 guess got off to a rocky started. Douglas, We've got 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000 some cuts here. We can play the first one talks 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.920 about here their very first meeting. This was kind of 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.400 a social engagement at the scouting combine in March. So 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.480 when we got to the combine in Mark and I 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.040 had a very contentious face to face with Stephen Jones 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.400 out socially one night where we've known each other so 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.000 long that I think we can we can mss each 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:30.960 other and still be Franks. And we were both out socially. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.719 You know, I had a glass of wine in my hand. 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.600 I think he had a glass of Johnny Walker Blue 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.320 and his and it got real, real nasty, real quick 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.280 in what way nasty just over the value of the player. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.559 You know, hey, hey, we're not going to pay him 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.839 twenty million a year. He's not worth it. He's not 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.040 Von Miller, he's not Khalil Macke's not Aaron Donald. He's 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.800 not getting twenty million a year. And my answer was, 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.000 you're right, he's getting twenty point five seven one million 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.840 a year because he's going to get a second franchise 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.520 tech And so then it was like, well, then let 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.200 him come in and sign it and he'll just play 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.160 under the tag. And I was like, well, no, no, no, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.000 we're not doing what we did last year. This year, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.120 and I think the Cowboys probably would have been happy 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.199 with that. They would have been ecstatic that if he 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.760 had just agreed to come in the building, signed the 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.400 tag and play, they could have you know, eaten the 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.920 twenty twenty five millions, but they would have obviously had 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.720 you know, no liability going further. That was the opening, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.520 the beginning of the negotiations. Drink started a couple of 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400 drinks of the thing, and it sounds like he kind 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.840 of goes on that. Originally Cowboys, I mean they were 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.200 offering like seventeen eighteen million. I mean, it was pretty 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:44.800 low and some At one point he said they didn't 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.160 they didn't negotiate at all last year, last March, in 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.440 March in twenty eighteen, before the first franchise tag started. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.079 They didn't negotiate again until this marching. The combine. And 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.559 I guess that's kind of part for the course, I 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.360 can say, isn't that the way it works? Yeah, you 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.600 just let it sit in the first one that blinks 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.199 usually wins. Yeah, And it was strange to kind of 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.720 hear him talk. I recommend if you've got the time 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.199 to check it out, But I don't know. It was 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.600 there's another cut, and we've got several cuts. We don't 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:14.959 need to play them all because they're kind of long. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.480 But this last one Douglas made play cut four. This 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.920 talks about what they did. Was on Thursday, they finally 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.160 got on the phone, and David Canter said that Stephen 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.000 Jones basically told DeMarcus Lawrence, here's what it's going to be. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.080 You know, we can tell you this much. We can't 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:33.679 do this. We can do this, and if you like it, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.679 we completely understand. We can go our separate ways, and 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.199 if you're willing to do it, let's make a deal. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.400 And so that happened Thursday. By Thursday night, he kind 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.640 of thought they had a deal. They were close. He said, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.920 they're gonna be dealing done. But well, Friday came along 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.760 and it was like, as he said, radio silence. Nothing happened. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.720 They traded some stuff, nothing came along, and then about 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.199 oh late in the afternoon, at five o'clock, it sounded 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.199 like the deal was going to fall through, and you 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.240 want to play cut for there. I called the Marcus 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.400 and I said, man, I don't know, bro. I said, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.719 I'm sorry, I know I got you excited. I thought 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:14.040 we were going to get this thing done. You know this, 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.200 this trigger here right now, this is this is bad, dude, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.280 this is really bad, and he got pissed. Man, then 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.160 don't be calling me and telling me that we're close 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.839 when we're not closing. Go backwards and he I hung 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:31.040 up the phone, and my instinct was, We're done. Screw 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.880 the cowboys. I'm done. I'm not calling them back, I'm 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.520 not texting them. This is a bunch of nonsense. They 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.880 should never have done this. And thank god I didn't 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:47.439 listen to myself. I instantaneously text message Stephen Jones with 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.400 and this is what I wrote. I said, are we 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.280 really gonna let this happen? We've got so much momentum, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.600 We're so close. Please call me, let's talk this out. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.360 And then he didn't respond to my test, and about 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.079 seven minutes later I walked into the garage. I was 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.240 at my mother in law's house celebrating her birthday in 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.120 or about fifteen little kids running around, screaming, going crazy, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.199 and I called Stephen on his personal cell phone and 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.120 he didn't answer. Four minutes later he called me back, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.440 and as soon as he called me back, I said, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.200 I'm not going to acknowledge your most recent proposal, Hey, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.199 you wanted fifty, you wanted sixty six, We gave it 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.480 to you. You got him, you just gotta earn him. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.800 I said, Stephen, I'm not gonna do that. We're not 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.719 gonna play that game. Get me to fifty, get me 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.800 to sixty six, and then Stephen to Stephen's full credit. 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.959 He goes, I won't get you to either number, but 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.520 I'll get you as close as I can. How about 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.360 forty eighteen sixty five? And I go, I think that 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.480 I'll get it done. How was it? And then from 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.880 then on by Friday night, they finally ended deal. None 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:00.760 so crazy negotiations, But that's just kind of found that interesting. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.120 I just kind of wanted to give a little glimpse 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.160 and went into that deal. And that may happen all 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:09.120 the time, that maybe normal procedure, but it seemed pretty right. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.079 So all those people that were reporting that Thursday and 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.600 Friday that they were a deal was done, you almost wasn't. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.760 They didn't they didn't know what they were talking. Well, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.920 they knew, probably got some information. But and Thursday night 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.160 sound he sounded like they thought it was going to 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.719 get done. But what happened was it? And it was 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.040 he kind of mentioned at the beginning was that they 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.360 had asked for more guaranteed. Well when they did, the 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.640 Cowboys offered less contract overall contract, and so that's what 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.679 he said in there. We took a step backwards, and 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.960 they're like that got DeMarcus all pissed off, and they 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.400 were like, screwed the Cowboys and all this So just 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.280 part of the negotiations, I get, But I just thought 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.240 it was kind of a fascinating look at the into 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:55.199 what would happen. Yeah, used to negotiate your own stuff, right, No, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.080 I had an age, you had a guy. I told 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:01.679 him what I wanted, you know. And but the thing is, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.520 you're talking about a whole different style of money, you know, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.120 And you know, people say it's relevant. No, no, no, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.560 you can't get three or four million dollars mixed up 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.439 with fifteen That ain't gonna never be relevant. Okay, you 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.520 know what I'm saying. So his whole, his pocket change 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:26.200 was my contract. So but I'm happy it's done. You know, 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.280 I'll let you guys go through that. I'm happy it's 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.440 done because, like you said earlier with with with Quentin 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:44.920 reading me, we're not talking about the draft with with 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.520 this new kid we signed and with him now I 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.800 feel so much better because we got guy. Two guys 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.120 that can go fifty snaps and that's gonna command respect. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.560 And now now we those guys that we plugged in 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.560 the Christian Covington, all of those guys. Man, But if MALIEK. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.760 Collins stays healthy and come to play along with the 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:12.480 human Law, let me ask you this from a scheme standpoint. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.520 Now that you signed Quinn and I think we all agree, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.360 he's he's he's he's solid, he's gonna help legit. How 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.840 does that with d Law being on the opposite end 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.000 as far as assignments and stuff, does that help him 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:28.560 or does it help the guys in the middle more 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.200 it helps everybody because single blocks have to be done now, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.720 especially in past and pass for a situation. Man, Now 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:46.840 Crawford becomes a beast because he don't have to go 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.000 fifty snaps. He can go thirty five to forty snaps 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.240 and are him and my man can split those snaps. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.040 Imagine how fresh they're being. He already got an open 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.560 motor like it is. And if something do happen to 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.120 Malak Collins, now we put him down there on that three, 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:10.400 we are rolling because this one guy gives you snaps. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.840 What people don't understand is some guys are good, are 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.960 good for twenty five thirty snaps. They can give you 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.840 what they got for twenty five thirty snaps. Some guys 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.240 are talented and has enough stamina to give you them 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.600 forty or fifty snaps like d Laque with a high 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.280 level of consistency. That's where guys fall off at. That's 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.920 where these two guys don't fall off at. Now that 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.920 strengthens everybody at every position because you can rotate Crawford 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.760 down in there a little bit, and plus he can 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.760 still play where our boy play at. So brother, this 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.720 with I believe in quality, and then when you can 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.920 get some quantity with that quality, it just strengthens you. Man, 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:53.680 you think this is Kurt, You think this is one 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.880 of the better defensive lines in the league. Now, I 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.480 would think so if there, if he's healthy and better 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.640 defenses in the league. I mean they're already the top seven. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.960 I think they make seven last year in defense, about 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.640 fifth or six in points, and they just have gotten better. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.760 So I mean, yeah, this is the first offseason, you 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.080 know in a while where you say, wow, they they 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.320 they they did the thing, you know, and they did 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.639 it without uh getting spending ten million dollars on a guy, right, 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.639 they did it kind of under the radar. Yeah, but 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.200 how many guys have they signed offense and defense? Like 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.040 close to twenty is not that many, I don't think. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.480 But they'vey if you count all the moves they've made, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.440 they've been busy, I mean, quietly under the radar. They've 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.640 you know, they didn't make that big splash the first 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.760 week of free agency, which is a credit to them. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.040 I think, yep, you know, everybody keeping you know, now 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:50.000 that we have this kid, now you you you can 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.680 you can go to the offense. I feel confident that 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.840 we can go on it. If they wanted to, they 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:01.000 can go spend this whole draft on offense, you know, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.639 I think. So yeah, man, you feel that good? Because 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.840 if this guy stays healthy, it's a big elf. I mean, 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:17.000 but tell me this right here, you don't think this 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:23.399 dude is that good? Who? Well, no, Quinn, you know 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.320 what the queenn Quinn? Excuse me, Quinn? You don't think it? No, yeah, 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.200 I do. But you only got him for one year, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:34.160 so okay, you got him for one year. Okay, if 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.560 we spend our second and third on the offensive guy 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.760 and get a defensive gun with the fourth of the 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:45.400 fifth pick, we still only got this guy for one year. Right, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.640 So unless you get a second round pick, our third 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.320 round pick defensively, you know that means you're looking forward 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.600 to the future. But if you get a fourth for 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.600 the lord, I would still prefer him this one year 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.320 then that guy, because I've seen what he did with Darns. 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.560 I'm strong ain't giving him no run. No, I definitely 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.840 want him. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, you're saying 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.920 we gotta we gotta get depth. It is what you're 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.280 saying in the draft for makes for the future future. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.840 but give Darance. I'm strongly chance. Yeah, yeah, that's true. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.240 They've got you know, yeah, you got get get Let's 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:25.320 see what they can do. Uh, Daniel Ross, Christen Covington. 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.040 Let let these guys ball, Let let them play. You 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.040 already got the human law, you already got the league college. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.240 He's in a contract year coming up. Let's seeking he 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.560 stay healthy and ball. Is it is he had a 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:42.080 offseason surgery her recent league. Yeah, he has every other year. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.520 I don't remember if he hit. Yeah, somebody was trying 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:45.800 to tell me had I said. Now, I think that 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.560 was last year. I think he had it last I 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:54.560 don't think he's last year. But you know, I'm serious. 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.600 If this guy come in and plays up to his 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:06.560 level for this one year, you know, you go out 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:11.159 and you you solidified that, you solidify him on the field. No, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.439 I ain't into his money or what he gonna make. 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.240 I don't care, but you solidify him being comfortable with 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.520 the right type of weapons. I don't care if his 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.800 offensive linement. I don't care if it's a tight end. 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.000 I don't care if it's a running back. I don't 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.000 care what position, But the first two picks should go 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:31.040 for that. I don't care, And I mean coming in playing. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.600 This is the same guy that just wanted a fat 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.360 guy in the middle of the first the first pick, 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.840 maybe two of the first time. I'm still looking. I'm 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:45.040 still looking. But my issue is now when you when 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.520 you get as still like I think we got and 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.359 all we got to is give up the next year's 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.120 six pick. You know you get it from around six 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:58.440 seven mile extra mile pendel hype playing sacks you you 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.200 you gotta chance this kid, I mean, he's gonna be hungry, 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.440 He's gonna be wanting to prove who he is. He's 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.359 already a good player. It ain't like he ain't a 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.520 good player. We got to develop him and now we 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.920 saw what Ross did last year. Uh what was the 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.080 other big kid? I can't think his name besides Malie 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.119 Collins and Anteloe where we had another guy can't call 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:22.920 his name with Devin's attack, Yeah, we got guys, but 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.200 they are not fifty snap plus guys. They are the 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.800 guys that can get you between that thirty five and 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.480 that twenty five and thirty five snap and we can 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.480 keep come on and in the wild card is Crawford 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.760 the wild because if something happened to either one of 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.160 the Devin's events, he can be put out that temporarily, 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.960 but if not, we cut down on his reps and 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.240 let him get after it. Yeah. You know something else 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.520 I like about the way they've built this year. You 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.080 got a lot of guys that are either on one 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.480 year deals or the last year their contract. Yeah, and 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.119 I think there's a lot to be said for that 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:03.280 because I mean, guys play historically. It looks like guys 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:07.800 play over their potential whenever they're trying to get paid. Okay, 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:11.720 that that brings a question to mind, do you think? Question? 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.920 Or question? Sorry? So they they obviously seemed there and 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.840 win now mode. Yeah, they are going for it right now. Yes. Um, 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.880 given that all these guys are contracts are up next year, 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.600 you're gonna you're you're either gonna lose them or your 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.680 salary caps gonna go way up the roof. Um, you 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.760 brought in it, you know, Cob, you brought in uh 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:35.320 quinn some one year guys. So going back to the draft, 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.960
