00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk about them. Hellab a win yep, Arkansas beating

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: the number one team last night in overtime. Great game.

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: First time that Arkansas has beaten a number one team

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: since Michael Jordan was playing for North Carolina. Wow, I

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: was eight years old. I remember that game. Hadn't beat

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: a number one, to beat Auburn, no fingers, fingernails left,

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, got it done. That's that's big. I appreciate

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: how much you like Arkansas basketball, Like love really Arkansas. No,

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: but like he really loves Arkansas basketball. Oh yeah, Like yeah,

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: Like you would have asked me you could win a

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: football national championship or a basketball It's like, for you

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: would be no brainer. It's not like it's laugh even

52
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: ask the question. Not for me, because man, you're going

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: through six weeks of Final four and all that. Like

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: what a ride that is. I've even been I've actually

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: experienced it. Yeah, but man it's Awesomelan Richardson Yeah, so

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: it was good. It was good win. Which that's my

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: point is Kentucky's probably the only fan base in the

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: SEC that really feels that way. Like everybody else, it's

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: all football all the time. I'd rather win a College

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: World Series than a Final Four probably, but that's it's

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: all unique to your own fan base, though. I mean

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: if LSU would Actually LSU was pretty damn good when

63
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I was a kid, but by the time I was

64
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: old enough to really basketball, yeah, I mean, they had Shack,

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: they had Stanley roberts Um Yeah yeah, I mean they

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: had some really yeah, but by the time I was

67
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: old enough to really appreciate it, they were kind of trash.

68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: So and this year they started, you off thing having

69
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: ey hopes and as long as they make but that's

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: as long as they make the tournament. I don't care,

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: which I mean, if they make the tournament, I'll be happy.

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: That's where my expectations are. With LSU basketball, I don't

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: really care beyond that. Where like the baseball team, I'm

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: already they're playing preseason games. I'm like, Okay, how's our

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: cleanup hitter doing? Like, what's going on here? It's just, yeah,

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: that's how you're raised. I guess, give me a sports story.

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Ye oh, I don't know. We'll just continue along that line.

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, my son's playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

79
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm excited about it. For those that don't know,

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: you don't really have a son, but you're talking. Anybody

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: that knows me knows what I'm talking about. Um, I'm yeah,

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Joe Burrow. It's it's really cool. It's

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: funny like have you ever like had a band that

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you were on too early and then they kind of

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: start to get popular and you're like, okay, like I'm

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 1: happy for your success, but everybody's hey, I was here first,

87
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: outcast for me. Yeah, yeah, that's a great that's a

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: great point. And that's kind of how I feel about Joe.

89
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, the whole feels like he's captured the whole

90
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: sporting world's attention, and I'm like, Okay, I want y'all

91
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: to root for Joe, but like we were here first,

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: like we we claim we found him. He's ours. Yeah,

93
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: Like Ohio State fans are like, oh, he was molded

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: by Ohio. I'm like, shut up, Okay, he's ours. But

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I hope he wins the super Bowl.

96
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: That would be great. And just so you guys know

97
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: this kind of funny. The other day, Dave walks by

98
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: my office. He has a package and he kind of

99
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: holds it up to my window and kind of sneaks

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: it out, and it's like the Cincinnati Bengal hood I

101
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: guess was a hoodie sweatshirt. I was like, that's real, Like,

102
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: that's real. That's how you know that's his boy? Like

103
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: I he is all in. I will be wherever he

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: goes as long as he's playing and when he's done playing,

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: like and like, and you know, we did a documentary

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: about Dak and it was mainly about how Mississippi State

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: fans feel the same way about him. Yeah, it's real, man,

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: And then win your national championship, You're gonna cut form forever,

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: right and and I'm not. I don't know something about

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: It's just different in the pros. Like everybody, you love

111
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: your quarterback in the pros. But when you see these

112
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: guys come up from being like a literal kid, I

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: mean that sounds stupid. Joe was like twenty two when

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: he got to LSU. But I don't know, to just

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: kind of come from nothing as like a Okay, who's

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: this kid? He's from bfe Ohio. Guess he can't be

117
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: worse than what we've got. And then to get here

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: in such a short amount of time, it's just swild

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: amber goat for us. Best love right there? He is

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: my son. Obviously I did not follow because I don't

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: follow up college football whatsoever. But the more I see him,

122
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: the more I like him. And he has this cockiness

123
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: to him, but it's like an appealing kind of cockiness,

124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: saying like there's you know, it's not the kind of

125
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: cockiness that you just hate it. I wouldn't be I

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked if if anybody was like, yeah, your

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: boy Joe's seems like kind of an a hole, I'd

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: be like, I get where you. I understand where you

129
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: get that from. But like, it doesn't seem like it

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: bothers very many not off putting because some people it

131
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: can be, but it's not off put us because he's

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: backs it up every step of the way. That's the thing,

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: is like, why wouldn't you be cocky with what he's

134
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: accomplished in such a short period of time, And it

135
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he does it at the expense of

136
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: his teammates, I guess is the best way to it all.

137
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: And we don't know these guys, by the way, we

138
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: don't know if he really does or doesn't. But the

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: way it appears, the way it seems is like he's

140
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: still a good teammate. His teammates like him, so it's

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: like he's you could see the little bit of arrogance,

142
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: but it's like he still seems like a good guy, right.

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily have a sports story, but something

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: that I did see this morning, staying on topic, was

145
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: the whole news on Gronk and what he said. What

146
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: do you say? He said that, you know, with Tom

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Brady leaving and all that, I guess he mentioned somewhere

148
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: that a guy that he would like to go and

149
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: play with would be him Burrow Burrow. I didn't see that, Okay,

150
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: so that's trending on Twitter. Yeah, he's like, I'll go

151
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: play next to him. So if he's like the other

152
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: guy that it's not Tom Brady, he would go with

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Joe Barrow. It's great. You kind of get to a

154
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: point in your career where you're just ring hopping, like

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: I'll go play for this guy that I like who

156
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: might be able to help me win another super grenade

157
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: out there and see what happened. That's amazing. I didn't

158
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: hear that. I saw the clip that's the headline that

159
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: said the quarterback that that Gronk wants to play with,

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm not giving it to you. I'm

161
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: not clear clicking on that. Oh they were baiting you

162
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: in right, whatever, I'm not Yeah, I'm not doing that.

163
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: Along a similar line, though, like and I do. This

164
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: is something I've been thinking about a lot, because, like,

165
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm emotionally invested in Joe's success. I really want him

166
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: to win. But like, it's easy to be a prisoner

167
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: of the moment, and it's easy. I mean, he's great,

168
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: and I assume he'll be back on this stage at

169
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: some point, but it's not a given. I've been thinking

170
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: about that a lot, Like, you gotta take advantage of

171
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: these opportunities. You know, the example, right, the consummate example,

172
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Yes, exactly, made a super Bowl in his

173
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: second season in the league. Never went back, and it's

174
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: and had good teams, Yeah, never went back. It was

175
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: it's it's that always bothers me, Like it's like that

176
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: the condescending thing that the graceful winner says, or they're like, oh,

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: y'all be back, y'all be back, like let Stafford have

178
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: this one because he's older, Like, y'all will be back.

179
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: You don't know that, Yeah, so you gotta make this

180
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: stuff count. Yeah, absolutely, and they're you would think they're

181
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: they're playing ahead of schedule. With all the young as

182
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: they got on that team, it's easy to say like, oh,

183
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: they weren't supposed to be here. They'll get better and

184
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: be back, but who the hell knows? Yeah, all right,

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: so I don't really have a sports story. I got

186
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: something that's you could say, it's kind of competitive. But

187
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: am I the only one that's addicted to word all

188
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: at this point? Like I am all in on this game, Nick,

189
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I've gotten you, I think semi addicted at this point.

190
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: For those of you out there listening, if you haven't

191
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: heard about this, it's everywhere right now. But basically, there

192
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: are these guys that developed this website that is it's

193
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: a five letter game word I mean word game. Basically,

194
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: you put in a random word and then it tells

195
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: you which ones of those letters in that word you

196
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: picked are either in the right spot or a word

197
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: that a letter that's in the word but not in

198
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: the right spot, and you have six tries to get

199
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: it right, but you only get one time to play

200
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: every day, and the whole world has the same word.

201
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: So it just becomes this thing where you kind of

202
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: figure out your word and then you send it to

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: whoever you want to say it too and say, see,

204
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: it only took me three, it only took me four,

205
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: it took me five, whatever. And I am just completely

206
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: addicted to the game. I think it's just it's just

207
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: so random and so much fun. So if you haven't

208
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: done it, go doing it. I know what it is.

209
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: I haven't really spent a lot of time with it.

210
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like something that would I would get addicted to,

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: so I'll go take a look at it. Go take

212
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: a look at it. I got Nick into it now,

213
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: and I showed Amber, sign me up. I started doing

214
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I started doing the New York Times crossword every day

215
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: during quarantine as a way to pass the time, and

216
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: now it's like an essential part of my routine. I

217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: think I read that New York Times actually bought Word.

218
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I think somebody bought it, Like literally, they made this

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: game and it's not a very high tech game at all,

220
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: but I think it was New York Times went and

221
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: bought it. And obviously the people that made it now

222
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: just made a little loot off. They've got a whole

223
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: puzzle department, so that makes sense. All right, let's let's

224
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: take our first break one and take our an early

225
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: break here when we finished. When we come back, we're

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: going to dive in deep. We're talking salary cap today.

227
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Obviously the Cowboys have some significant things that they're gonna

228
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: have to deal with this offseason and trying to figure

229
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: out their salary cap. Which guys stay, which guys leave.

230
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that when we come right back.

00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: The Break Life and Nest WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start,

272
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: we're talking salary cap today. Cowboys are in an interesting

273
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: situation this year, and I want to preface this conversation

274
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: just by saying, you always hear this time of year, Oh,

275
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: this team's this much under the cap. This team's this

276
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: much over the cap in a lot of instances, and

277
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I really haven't seen a lot of instances where this

278
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: is not the case. If they're players at a team

279
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: wants to keep on their team, they will find a

280
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: way to keep them on their team. You can look

281
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: at the team that's in the Super Bowl right now

282
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: at the Rams. Nobody knows how they keep adding all

283
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: these high price free agents, but somehow they figure it out.

284
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: And so I think there are there are games you

285
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: can play with your cap to be able to get

286
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: to where you want to be and have the players

287
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: you want to have. But I do think for the

288
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: let's sake of this conversation, we got to talk about

289
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys right now being twenty million dollars over the cap,

290
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and within the next month or so they are going

291
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: to have to find their way out of that and

292
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: back to above or below the salary cap. That all

293
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: being said, let's start first with what do the Cowboys

294
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: need to do? What are some just initial low hanging

295
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: fruit that the Cowboys can kind of do in order

296
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: to get themselves in a better situation with their cap.

297
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, restructuring Dack's deal is basically a given and

298
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: would free up I think fifteen or to seventeen million dollars.

299
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you can do the vast majority of that

300
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: simply by pushing his money, which is something that they

301
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: were always going to do anyway, if you remember, there's

302
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: there's an avoidable year added on to his deal that

303
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: helps you absorb that. So I mean the minute that

304
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: that deal was agreed upon, you could kind of bank

305
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: on that probably happening. So at some point it's it's literally,

306
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's a button that they click and send

307
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: it to Dak's agent. Like it's not it's not stuffy

308
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: happen to negotiate. It's already been built into the deal.

309
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I would expect that will happen at some point in

310
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: the next you know, five or six weeks. Nick. Are

311
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: there any ramifications of that with regards to what that

312
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: means in future money for Dak or how it affects

313
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: the cap in the future. I don't think No, I don't.

314
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, you're, like Dave said,

315
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: you're built in. This contract is with structured that way.

316
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: That's why these these contracts take a lot longer than

317
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: people think, because there's a lot of those variables in there.

318
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: But no, I mean, they're expecting Dak to be the

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: quarterback of this team for the next five years or

320
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: so four or five years, and I don't think anything

321
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: changes with that. So this is just part of the deal.

322
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: You gotta remember, there's a lot of window dressing going

323
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: on when these deals, and you know, what's important to Dak.

324
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I want forty million a year that kind of stuff. Well,

325
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: in order to get that, you have to be creative,

326
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: and how it's structured, and how it's structured is to

327
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: hit these little trigger moments like that. But but you

328
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: got to remember though, that this is get they can

329
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: get under the cap. But Randy Gregory, Dalton Shoult Sarn curs, Yeah,

330
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: it's not just about getting nobody under Nobody's nobody's counting anything.

331
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Those guys don't count anything for this cap. So they yeah,

332
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: they can get there no longer. Yeah, they can get

333
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: under their quick and then call it today and go

334
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: go hunting in March, which they might do they've done

335
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: in the past. You know. But I thought you meant

336
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: hunting for big name free agents and I was like, no,

337
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: they don't know that hunting literally hunting, all right. So

338
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: so that being said, there have been two names that

339
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: have been thrown around a lot in the media, I

340
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: think over the last week because of the amount of

341
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: money not only that they make, but the amount of

342
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: money the Cowboys can save by releasing them. Amark Cooper

343
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: get these numbers, he can be if they cut Mary Cooper,

344
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: they could save sixteen million dollars against the cap. If

345
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: it is a June first cut, they can save twenty

346
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: one million, about five million more than than cutting him

347
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: in normal. Basically, the idea is when you do a

348
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: June one cut, you can and extrapolate the cut the

349
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: hit to your cap over two years, which gives you

350
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: a higher amount that you can that you can realize.

351
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: And then DeMarcus Lawrence he has he would be it

352
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: would be an eight million dollars savings if they were

353
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: to cut him. This one is the most important part

354
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: of that. But if it's a June one cut, they

355
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: could save nineteen million dollars. So a significant amount of

356
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: money for both these players that you can that you

357
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: can save if you're willing to cut them. My question

358
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: for you guys is of those two, which would you

359
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: think is more likely to be cut if the Cowboys

360
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: choose to go that route. I'm Mari. I mean, he's

361
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: a'm Maori Cooper. And the thing is how I see

362
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: him more. I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, just

363
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: do it. Save the money. But because and I like

364
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and I see the value in him. I

365
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player and he can still

366
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: contribute in this team and be do a lot for you.

367
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys weren't really even utilizing him the right way.

368
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: And I know that might change with things with having

369
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: a new wide receivers coach coming in and then different

370
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: things that Kellen Moore might do with his offense and

371
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: all that. But you weren't even using him as much

372
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: as you could. And then at the same time you

373
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: were though able to use other wide receivers. And I

374
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: know Cedric Wilson, he's going to be a free agent,

375
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Noah Brown as well, right, everyone but CD and Semi

376
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: Fajoko and Michael Gallup too. Yes, that is true. If

377
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: you cut Amari Cooper, you have two receivers under contract

378
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: and only one of them is actually really even played

379
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Which she's right, No, she's she's right.

380
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: If you're not using him, how you should Well, no,

381
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: if you're not right about that, you're right about if

382
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: you if you're telling me to pick one of these guys,

383
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: that's if you've been paying attention. They're sort of leaving

384
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: you breadcrumbs as to why this might happen. They haven't

385
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: touched his money, and that's the big thing they and

386
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: they love to push these deals back. They restructure the

387
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: offensive linemen all the time. They've restructured tank in the past,

388
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: they've restructured Zeke, which that's like the guy that maybe

389
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want touch his money because it's the position

390
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: that wears down the fastest. Amid all of this, they've

391
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: never touched Amari's money because they know his guarantees are

392
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: up after this season. They can free up a boatload

393
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: of money by releasing him. Throw on the fact that

394
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones did not bother hiding his frustration with the

395
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: vaccination stuff when he missed games because of COVID, and

396
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: it's easy to see why that might happen. Do I

397
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: think it's a good idea? Absolutely not. And all I

398
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: can think about is why why do we want to

399
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: do this again? Because my memory is still very fresh

400
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: of them trying to sell me on Deonte Thompson and

401
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns, like, Ah, we just need a few good guys.

402
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: We don't need any great guys. We're gonna com We're

403
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna committee this bad boy and Dack's just going to

404
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: throw to the open one. Well, when you don't have

405
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: good receivers, sometimes none of them get open and then

406
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: you're so screwed that you trade away a first round

407
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: pick in the middle of a season to fix it,

408
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: and I just hope their memories aren't that short, because

409
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: I think it would be a big mistake. Agree with that.

410
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: He's your first round pick from twenty nineteen and you're

411
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of him after his third year. All

412
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: you gotta do is look at the Chiefs game in

413
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: the Raiders game when he didn't play. You can be

414
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: pissed off for the reason, whether you want to or not,

415
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: but that nobody could get open. The offense was terrible

416
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: in those games. So they haven't shown that they can

417
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: really be successful without Amari Cooper. And I'll say this,

418
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: the greatest coach in the history of the NFL, Bill

419
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: Belichick told you exactly what he thought of Amari Cooper

420
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: because he made sure to get him out of the

421
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: game when they played up there in New England. He

422
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: was the one that he was worried about. So why

423
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: do you want him off the team? If you have

424
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: to do one, I'm cutting de Marcus. I'm sorry if

425
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: you have to. I like de Marcus, but fourteen and

426
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: a half sacks in the last three years. You what

427
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: they're paying for is for him to get in the

428
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: range of ten to fourteen sacks per year, not total

429
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: for three years. He can do more in the run

430
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: game and all that stuff, but that's not what they're

431
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: paying for. You can find guys that can do that.

432
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: So if I have to do one or the other,

433
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: I'd have to cut tanks. Let me ask you this,

434
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: what does that say about your belief in Ceedee Lamb

435
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: that you'd be so hesitant to cut Amari Cooper. Do

436
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: you not think he's ready to be a number one receiver. Honestly,

437
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: it says nothing about my belief in Ceedee Lamb. I

438
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: mean it's fair to say I don't. It's ironic because

439
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl as an alternate. I don't

440
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: think he lived up to the expectations that he set

441
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: for himself with the dominant training camp that he had,

442
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Like we didn't make that up, and he did a

443
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: lot of it against Treyvon Diggs, who led the league

444
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: in interceptions. So I think he's capable of playing better.

445
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: But again, I mean, Davantae Adams does it in Green Bay.

446
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks Dak is on Aaron Rodgers'

447
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: level of like distributing the ball and stuff like that.

448
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: And so even if CD is a total boss, so

449
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: do you want him doing it all himself? Like the

450
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: two teams in the Super Bowl, you know, both the

451
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Rams, they have star receivers, I mean,

452
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: Chase and Cup. But Robert Woods was was going to

453
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: be a thousand yard receiver if if he might have

454
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: already gotten there, he was really close. Odell comes in

455
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: and then and then I don't even know their names,

456
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: Boyd and Higgins, Boyd Higgins and Chase, but they but

457
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: they got some good guys too, So those are Boyd

458
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: is one of the more underrated slot receivers in the league.

459
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: And Higgins was the first pick of the second round

460
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, he's a top tier talent. I

461
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: hate him by the way. He ruined your fans. Yes,

462
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: forty six points in like the semifinals. It always here's

463
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: somebody say I hate a player. It's always it always

464
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: goes back to yeah. But I'm just saying, like, like,

465
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it has anything to do with CD.

466
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean, because you need something great. You don't know

467
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: what what's your great thing that you do on offense?

468
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: It's not running the ball? Is I mean you need

469
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: the two receivers. I mean, that'll make those guys even better. Okay,

470
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: so good, Dave. I just I have no confidence there

471
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: are offenses that can make that work again, like Davante

472
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: Adams continues to produce despite a rotation of just guys.

473
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: You don't see it very often, and I don't know.

474
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't trust the offensive coordinator or the quarterback to

475
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: quote unquote make it work with like one great receiver

476
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: and then we'll see what we can figure out. I mean,

477
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: you go back again. This is all so recent. Michael

478
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: Gallup had a very successful rookie season as pick eighty one.

479
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: He caught like thirty balls for five hundred yards. Like

480
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: that is the realistic production that you're getting from that

481
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: type of player early on. You're not You're not cutting

482
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and plugging in another ready made thousand yard

483
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: receiver unless you're willing to turn around and immediately invest

484
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: that money in a free agent, which one they don't

485
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: and two why not just keep the guy you already have. Well,

486
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: what they do is they will invest that money in

487
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: a guy that they're trying to keep that's already on

488
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: their team. So let's let's talk about it. From that standpoint,

489
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: I would guess I don't know this for sure, but

490
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: I would guess they probably could resign Michael Gallop and

491
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: probably Cedric Wilson for less money than what it would

492
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: cost on their cap to keep Mary Cooper. I don't

493
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: I don't don't think so. Not twenty two million. I

494
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: think he counts twenty two million. I don't know they'll

495
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: get both of those guys for twenty two I'm guessing.

496
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Gallup gets a good deal, not a great

497
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: maybe maybe now. And I'm guessing Cedric Wilson gets what

498
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: four million, three million, four million, something like that. Whatever.

499
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: My point is, do you think that let's assume, for whatever,

500
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: let's assume that you the Cowboys thought it was a

501
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: better idea to resign Gallop and Cedric and they were

502
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: actually gonna still save some money. Do you think with

503
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: those street receivers, and I'm including CD and that, do

504
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: you think that's enough? Because you did say that he

505
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about CD, So it may not be

506
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: a fact that CD isn't ready. It might just be

507
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: a matter that you really think you need a Mari.

508
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: But if you got those other two, how do you

509
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: feel about that gallop towards a cl on Christmas? And

510
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean a CL's aren't the major thing that they

511
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: used to be, but you're still probably anticipate him missing

512
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: training camp and Cedric Wilson. For as wonderful as his

513
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: overall season was, he and Noah Brown both were given

514
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: a huge opportunity to step up when CD and A

515
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Mari were absent in that November stretch that Nick mentioned.

516
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Didn't do it first. That weighs heavily in my mind. Yeah,

517
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: first half of the Chiefs game, that's what you're looking at.

518
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you had CD, you didn't have a Mari,

519
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: and you had Gallup was back. He was still kind

520
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: of working himself in, but he's still gonna be working

521
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: himself in for a while with this injury. And then

522
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: he had Cedric Wilson. I like Cedric Wilson in the

523
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: role that he is, but when you start to give

524
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: him a bigger role, he hasn't really thrived with that.

525
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I'll just ask yo, what would you rather have c

526
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: D and CD Amar and you draft one in the

527
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: third round? Or would you rather have Gallop, Cedric Wilson

528
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: and CD. It's not that simple. Though, because you got

529
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: to think about it for the money, Like that's always

530
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: a part of this, and that's certainly a part of

531
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: this right now when you've talk about I thought we

532
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: just said it was about that same Yes, but I'm saying,

533
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: though you're thinking about it from a standpoint, I think

534
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: you probably can get those other guys for a little

535
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: less money. You're still going to save some money. In

536
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: my opinion, you're not selling me on this team being

537
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: better without Amari Cooper, So it really is, it really

538
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: is for you guys. He's all about the fact that

539
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper just needs to be on this team because

540
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: he makes you better. I agree that. I think Amari

541
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Cooper is a damn good player. His stats don't reflect it.

542
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: He has a hand in that he didn't get vaccinated

543
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: and it cost him a chance to produce. Like, who

544
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: knows how much better his numbers look. If he plays

545
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: against Vegas in Kansas City, maybe they win one of

546
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: those games. I like their odds to beat Vegas with

547
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: him on the field. Maybe. Um so that I mean,

548
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: some of that is on him, for sure. I'm not

549
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: like absolving him of blame, but I look at his

550
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: numbers this year and I'm just like the OC and

551
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback didn't do good enough job of getting him

552
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: the ball in my opinion, And that's where I go

553
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: back to what I initially said. I'm like, Okay, if

554
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: you're not utilizing him enough, And believe me, I see

555
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: a huge value on Americ Amari Cooper, and I absolutely

556
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: love him and I think he should stay, but when

557
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: you're not necessarily using him the way that you should.

558
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: And after seeing the Cowboys be able to connect with

559
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: so many different wide receivers on their group, because I

560
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: think we can all agree that last year, at various

561
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: different times except the times that they were playing bad

562
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: Dad was connecting with all kinds of receivers. So the

563
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: connection was there. So it's a little different than what

564
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of years ago, where when Dez

565
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: was here, when you still had Cole Beasley and all that.

566
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: It's a little different now that I'm seeing Dak being

567
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: able to have that, being capable of connecting with other

568
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: different guys than your main one, it makes me believe

569
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: or think that, Okay, maybe this is a time where

570
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: we could save some money by cutting Amari Cooper. And

571
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys don't really do this with free agency,

572
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: But how are you fixing the old line? They have

573
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: guys right now, but I just don't want to merely

574
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: purely rely on the draft, Like I need a guy

575
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: with good experience that can come here and be effective

576
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: right off of the bat. Like I don't feel comfortable

577
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: with counteror McGovern just being the guard. I do not

578
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: feel confident about that. I don't feel confident about Tyren

579
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: Smith being healthy all the way. I don't know what

580
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with that, and I don't know if

581
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about him and maybe what he could

582
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: do in savings that way. But I just I would

583
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: like them to save some money somehow and utilize that

584
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: money rather than a wide receiver, put it towards somebody

585
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: that can be good on the old line and be

586
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: effective right away. And I know that's easier said than done,

587
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: but that's just kind of how I feel. I don't know.

588
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: At some point, I just maybe this is just the

589
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: parent in me. But just like if you bought a

590
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: car for your teenager, drive the damn car and quit

591
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: ubering all over around because I just bought you a car,

592
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: They're like, well, if you don't you know, it's like,

593
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna I bought a car, might as

594
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: well just take it away because I bought it, you're

595
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: not using it. No, use the damn thing. So go

596
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: into Kellen Moore's office and say, throw the ball to

597
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: my Marie Cooper. Quit messing around this. This doesn't work right,

598
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, Like, yeah, it's just like, now, if you're

599
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: not gonna use him as well, just cut him. No

600
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: damn it. I traded the first round. Use him, right,

601
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm That's what I was thinking. How does that play though,

602
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: because because that's one of the things that Jerry gets

603
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: blamed for all the time, and whether I don't think

604
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: it's necessarily true, but he gets blamed for. He's he's

605
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: in there telling the coaches what they gotta do with

606
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: this player and that player. Like is that is that

607
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: something that you really want him doing? Is saying I

608
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: want you to throw the ball to Mary Cooper, just

609
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: the blanket statement. Figure it out. I want him with

610
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. It doesn't have to be

611
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper. That's the beauty of it. They it

612
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: pervades the entire offense. They didn't focus enough on getting

613
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: the ball to CD at times he disappeared in the

614
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: playoff for Tony Pollard might as well not even exist.

615
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: It could be Jerry, it could be Stephen, it could

616
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: be hopefully Mike, somebody. Hey, that would be a good

617
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: idea to put the ball into the hands of our playmakers,

618
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: make a concerted effort to do it. Please and thank

619
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: you somebody. I don't care who says it. I don't

620
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: care who says it. Yeah, just like you do you

621
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: want this guy on the team or not, like you

622
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: don't like Amari, No, no, we love then play him.

623
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, have a good day. That's it. That's simple,

624
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: I think. So in this case, it is if you

625
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: want the guy on your team, then use him. Quit

626
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: this because they do this this committee thing where they're like,

627
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: whoever's open, you know, we throw it to whoever and

628
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: all that. Well, that doesn't that doesn't really work. What

629
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: if they don't want him though, because and that that

630
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: is something. There's that that situation, and then we know

631
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: we've heard A'mori kind of express his own happiness and

632
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 1: the fact that they weren't giving him the ball at

633
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: certain times, and so I'm just wondering, like how he

634
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: actually feels and what kind of like dynamic is started

635
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: building up last year in their meetings and those rooms

636
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: that we don't get to be in. If if that's

637
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: the case, UM say it. It would be sure what

638
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying here. If if we're gonna cut the best

639
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: receiver on the team because of what he believes is

640
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: the right thing for his body, If we're gonna cut

641
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: him based off what happened, if we're really gonna get

642
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: technical about the about the vaccine, he only would have

643
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: missed one game if he was vaccining, he still had

644
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: it COVID, he's gonna miss one or the second one,

645
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: the first one. That's also assuming that he didn't. Yeah,

646
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: he would have gotten it with the vaccine, because that's

647
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: not assumption you can make. But go, okay, if we're

648
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: gonna cut the guy because we really he pissed us off,

649
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: then I don't know if that jives with the statement

650
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: he made at training camp that I will do anything

651
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl because you're gonna cut your

652
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: best wide receiver. And I don't know if that you're

653
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: going to cut him because you were mad at him.

654
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: See there's gotta be more than that. Well, but I

655
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: think the more than that is he's not producing at

656
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: the level of what you're paying him to produce. Now,

657
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: that might not be his fault all the way, like

658
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback, your offensive coordinated they all got they got

659
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: a part in that. But I mean, if you're looking

660
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: at the numbers, you're like, man, we're paying a lot

661
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: of money and he's not a Davante Adams. I don't

662
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 1: think Amark Cooper has ever been considered among the top

663
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. But he's making that kind of money.

664
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: So how do you make those two things level up?

665
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: My dude caught ninety two balls for eleven hundred without

666
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: DAK the year before. So is he a top five

667
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL? No, he's he a top

668
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: ten wide receiver in the NFL. He's in that range,

669
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: and he's somewhere between ten and fourteen. And guests like,

670
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: we're let's move past this whole thing of like, if

671
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: you have the top salary, that means you have to

672
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: be the Like, that's not how this works. Yeah, you're

673
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: right about that. All I'm saying is when the GM

674
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: is sitting there and he's looking at his entire roster

675
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: and he's looking at his salary cap. He's like, it's

676
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: the same evaluation that Nick just made for DeMarcus Lawrence.

677
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm paying him money to be getting ten

678
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: to fourteen sacks a year, not to get fourteen sacks

679
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: over three years. So it's the same thing. It's the

680
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: same calculation here. You're paying this guy to be a premier,

681
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: best among the best in the league wide receiver. Are

682
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: you getting that in production? And again, that might not

683
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: all be his fault, but it certainly is a part

684
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: of the calculation. Well, why would it not be his

685
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: fault because of the offense and all that, because of

686
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback may not beginning the ball, the offense coordinator

687
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: might not be behind. Compare that to d Lavin. What's

688
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: the law not doing? What is he not getting the

689
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: right scheme for him? A lot of this has been

690
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: He's missed a lot. Yeah, he's missing. That's the part

691
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: you gotta worry about. There is this with his age.

692
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: Is he going to start all of a sudden playing

693
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: sixteen games seventeen games a year? I don't. I mean,

694
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: And also you just look at the season they won

695
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: without him to turn smith on defense. Now, I mean, unfortunately, unfortunately,

696
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's probably a fair thing to say.

697
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: It's been there have been issues for him consistently throughout

698
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: his career, and that the durability aspect of it for Tank,

699
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: I get it. I still I can't like. All I

700
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: can think about is the promise that this team showed

701
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: and where they were and how disappointing the ending was.

702
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: And like anybody that's you know, anybody that's listening to this,

703
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: anybody that's coming back looking for hope and optimism that

704
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: they could get over the hump next year, you're gonna

705
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: sell me on that with Tank and Amari off this team,

706
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna sell me that this team will be substantially

707
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: better than they were last year with those two guys

708
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: not here. Like I'm looking at it, so you're gonna

709
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: sell me. I'm looking at twenty twenty two draft prospects. Shoot,

710
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: I saw a guy I loved and at the Senior Bowl,

711
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: Christian Watson out of North Dakota State, which is ironic

712
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Cowboys would ever draft an

713
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: FCS guy that highly. But Michael Gallop miss in training camp,

714
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and this and a rookie Christian Watson. That's

715
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna be it, that's gonna be better than

716
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: what you had. I just don't buy it. Same thing.

717
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: There's some good edge rushers in this class where the

718
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys are picking. It's ironic because Michael Parsons had thirteen sacks,

719
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: but he's a little bit different, like he's not a

720
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: pure end. Think of how long it took Tank to

721
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: get to a point where he was capable of getting

722
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: double digit sacks. I know we're criticizing him for not

723
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: doing it. He got hurt and had one as a rookie.

724
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: I think he had he had six or seven his

725
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: second season, had one in twenty sixteen because he was

726
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: playing like It took until twenty seventeen as a twenty

727
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: fourteen pick to get to a point where he was

728
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: like a problem. And so again, this team's better without them.

729
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't buy it at all. I'll only cut Amari

730
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: Cooper if you can guarantee Trayln Burkes will be there

731
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: for me. Hey, I'm in favor, honestly, there at twenty

732
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: four he could be this first rounds weird. Yeah, I

733
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: was listening to some stuff about this. Yet is like

734
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: every draft mock draft. You'll see this. This draft season

735
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: will probably be vastly different because it's all about the

736
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: flavor you like. Yeah, it's it's there are no clear

737
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: cut Oh this is the best player, this is the

738
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: best two, three, four players. It's all over the map,

739
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: and it's about what you want. All I can all

740
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: I know for sure right now is that there's like

741
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: four really top tier offensive tackles and then the edge

742
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: rusher for Michigan is going to be like a top

743
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: five pick, but which there's two of them, but I'm

744
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: talking about Hutchinson. Yeah, um, but yeah, everything else is

745
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: up for debate and we talk. We're gonna talk about

746
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: that on the Draft show tomorrow. Like if they do

747
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: cut a Maury Cooper, I think wide receiver becomes your

748
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: number one need, like on the entire team, honestly more

749
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: important offensive line. Yes, yeah, because you still like you.

750
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's not great, but you still

751
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: have guys that can you know, Connor McGovern started, Tyler Biades.

752
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: You know you can play with what you have on

753
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah, but what I would do with

754
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: the Maury Cooper and I because I I don't think

755
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: he's he I still think he's got four to five

756
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: years good years to go. I'm whatever what it's his guarantee.

757
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: He's gonna his salary is guarantee, which I think is

758
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: like twenty million league year, twenty million, twenty one something

759
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: like that. I'm giving him that in a signing bonus.

760
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: And I dropped the instructor. I dropped a salary down

761
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: to him one million. They could but give him twenty

762
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: one instead of twenty one over seventeen you get it

763
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: right now and marry Christmas, um and then he has

764
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: it and then and then and then chop it up

765
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: and then that I think if I did the math right,

766
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: that moves him down. You save about ten million. If

767
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: you did that, if you restruct him so basically only

768
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: restructing him for an addition, like an additional year about

769
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: three years, no, but three more years, you're you're giving

770
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: him twenty million, which chopped up over the next three years.

771
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: That proation will will cut his his his whole thing

772
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: down from his hit from twenty to about ten. I

773
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: love that idea. That's ten keep him and you get

774
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: to save some money. He's good, he's good for another years.

775
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: You're right about that. I don't think he's declining at all,

776
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: I'm restructor him. And then I just did the You know,

777
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: that's the funny thing though, is that's what they do

778
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: to all their stars. They haven't they haven't never done

779
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: it with and this will be Amara just finished his

780
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: second year on this extension and they've never touched it.

781
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: And which is why it's a big part of the

782
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: reason why we're talking about that, because there's people over

783
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: there too. And then I know this for a fact

784
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: that they think because he's quiet, that he doesn't love football.

785
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: There's there's the notion of that while he doesn't love football,

786
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: and then they throw the vaccination part in there too.

787
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: It's like you're not going to do everything for your

788
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: team because you didn't get vaccinated, and then look what

789
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: happened and all that stuff. So I guarantee that's part

790
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: of it too. It's like a love for football, which

791
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: you got to be very misleading because there are guys

792
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: that are just quiet. Doesn't mean that he doesn't love

793
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: the game. I can tell you this. When Ceedee Lamb

794
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: wanted to steal his game winning touchdown in Minnesota away

795
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: from him, he was like, no, you're funny, bron get

796
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: out of here and that I'm scoring this touchdown. There's

797
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be there's always gonna be somebody in

798
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: like football culture who like that rubs you the wrong way,

799
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: like unless brought us comes to my like, you know,

800
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: those type of guys drive broad Us crazy because he

801
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: just doesn't understand it because he breathes football all the time.

802
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: And so that's frustrating when you have some other interests

803
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you don't like look or even if you

804
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: just even if you just don't express it the right

805
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: way or you know, yeah, it's that's there's a weird

806
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: cultural thing there just across the world of football. All Right,

807
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our final break. Comeback, Amber teed it

808

Speaker 1: up for us. We're gonna talk offensive line. There are

00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: back to the final segment of the BRAAKELAFTWBC Mortgage Studios

851
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: at the Star. I'm realizing now we're not going to

852
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: get through this entire cap conversation. You never probably make

853
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: this a two part or you never learn pick it

854
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: up next wenes State University. But for right now, let

855
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: me say this. I hope that whoever is helping Stephen

856
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: Jones and Jerry Jones and all that make this decisions

857
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: get paid very well, because this gives me a headache.

858
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: It is not easy, and it's not like, oh yeah,

859
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: we'll figure this one guy, cut this guy, and then

860
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: you cut that guy. But then there's a domino effect

861
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: that there are so many other moving parts. Oh my god,

862
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: I hate this. You know, every these days, every team

863
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: has a cap specialist, a guy that is really their

864
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: only job is to understand how every move affects the cap.

865
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: And so they're having to do what you were just

866
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: talking about, figuring out all these different little machinations of

867
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: we do this well, it means this and this and

868
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: this and in this contract, there's just one little part

869
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: in the contract that allows us to do this so

870
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: we can say this money. It's just it's very convoluted

871
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: and it requires people a lot smarter than me to

872
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: do it. So hats off to those guys. Well, and

873
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: then when when you talk about the post June and

874
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: June first, I know that now you're even having to

875
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: think about the future. It's not like, let's focus on

876
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: this year old. Yeah. Well, now you gotta keep in

877
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: mind and take into account what the cop is gonna

878
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: look like for an experience following, and what Dax's number

879
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: is gonna look like us if you know, if you

880
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: touch his money and do all that, like his condrat

881
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: goes up too. So, yeah, there's there's guys out there

882
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: that are probably bigger targets than the two that you

883
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: mentioned that might keep cutting, and I mean one of

884
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: them could be Yeah, I'll throw out these guys. Let's

885
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line, Tyren Smith. If they were

886
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: to cut him, they would say five point four million,

887
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: not a huge amount if it's a June one cut, though,

888
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: it jumps to thirteen point five million. Here's the one

889
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: that I think is the most interesting though, Lyle Collins.

890
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: If they were to cut him right now, they would

891
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: only save one point seven millions seven one point seven million. However,

892
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: if it is a June first cut, they could save

893
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: ten million dollars by cutting Lyle Collins. If you were

894
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: looking at both those two players and cowboys are going

895
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: to make a cut on the off bentive line, which

896
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: would be more likely to be cut well, I would

897
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: say maybe Lael, because I think that they feel like

898
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: there's a there's a replacement there and Terrence Steel that's

899
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: cheaper and played just as well. I think you could

900
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: argue that case at least um And you know, if

901
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: we're holding grudges, which apparently, uh we are, maybe we are,

902
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: you know, then if that's the case, then I could

903
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: see where Lyall it might have pissed off the front

904
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: office a little bit there too over the last him

905
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: pissing them off even a mar I'm just saying, if

906
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna if we're gonna play you know, grudge match game,

907
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: then maybe it would be Lyle. I would hope. I mean,

908
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And that's Tyrone's contract is just

909
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: so friendly. It is like even we all acknowledge the

910
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: problems with his availability, it is what it is. But

911
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: even knowing that, like he's not denting your cap enough

912
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: that you're just like, we can't deal with this and

913
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: for the caliber player, you get right, I'll deal with

914
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: that headache. And yes, they need to worry about it,

915
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: they need to consider tackles in the draft, all that

916
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: good stuff, but it just doesn't seem efficient, like you're

917
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: not getting enough out of getting rid of him, in

918
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: my opinion, whereas Lyle I would, I would at least

919
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: if if you're determined to move on, I would at

920
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: least like to think maybe you could find a trade partner.

921
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: Like his contract's not crazy big either, you know, like

922
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: considering he's a pretty good player on a he's not

923
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: like up at the top of the market the numbers

924
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: only getting bigger. How does that work from the standpoint

925
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: of what you say, though, if you if you trade

926
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: him versus a June because it really got not even

927
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: the cut for this year, it's it's the June first cut.

928
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: What side are you on? I'm not on a site

929
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: well over the cap in spo track usually both there's

930
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: a it'll show you what you can save by the trade.

931
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me. It's in

932
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: my experience, whatever you save in a trade is usually

933
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: less than what you get in a cut, but you

934
00:45:55,560 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: still typically save some money, or at least I think

935
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: I am now at the point where I at least

936
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: think that they should talk to him about playing guard.

937
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: They should talk to him. Yeah, if that conversation was

938
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: on the table, I would look at that too. No,

939
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: but I do, and I don't know this, I really don't.

940
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: I just you know, the player's got to go for it,

941
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: and you can sit here and say, well, he's selfish

942
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: if he doesn't want to. But I mean Orlando Brown

943
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: just did that with Baltimore. They traded him because he's like,

944
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to play right tackle. I want to

945
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: play on the left side. If he sees himself as

946
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: a tackle and that's where he's always wanted to play,

947
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: and he only played guard because he was an undrafted

948
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: rookie that didn't have a choice, and the money's at tackle.

949
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: You can't force him to do it, and so maybe

950
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: then you have to have a different conversation. But I

951
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: would at least try to talk to him. Well, if

952
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: Darre told me, hey do this video for the Spanish side,

953
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to do it, but I'm

954
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it because like I have no choice, or

955
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: I walked out of the door. That's so, But how

956
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: many hours are you going to do it? That's what

957
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: I was about to say. Yes, he could, he could

958
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: be forced to play it, but is he going to

959
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: be forced to come out here on May the third

960
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: and really work and study and talk to Nate Newton

961
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: and talk to Zach Martin and do the things you

962
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: got to do to be a guard. You're just gonna

963
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: be like, you know, they want me to do it,

964
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do it. The other like James Harden

965
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: is playing in with the nets right now, is just

966
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of like I'll show up if you want me

967
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: to show up and giving the best efforts. Hey, Zach

968
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: Martin made it pretty clear he didn't want to play tackle,

969
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: Like you don't. He don't you want to be team first.

970
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: But you're also like, you know, I know in my place, Yeah,

971
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't want to suck at it. You don't want to,

972
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: you know which, Then you look at him differently, You're like,

973
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: that's not who I thought he was. Well, because he's

974
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: not really a tackle. It's entirely plot. I mean Lyle's

975
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: skill set at this point in his career spat. I mean,

976
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: he had a major hip injury, hip surgery. Maybe he

977
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: would be better on the inside, but he's got to

978
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: be open to that. And the difference is I've thought

979
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: about this a lot. Football players have a lot more

980
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: leverage than we do. Like the Cowboys can say do

981
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: this and I'm like, I guess I have to if

982
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: I want to pay my rent. Whereas that's part. That's

983
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: the big thing, like money buys you freedom, right, right,

984
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: And the more money you have, the more you have

985
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: the ability to say no, I ain't doing that, and

986
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: else could and he's right, he could very much say

987
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: f you cut me, then somebody else will pay me last,

988
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: but still something to play tackle for them. Did y'all

989
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: hear the story that Michael Evin told yesterday on I

990
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: think it's Pat McAfee's show, talking about the NFL network. Yeah, yeah,

991
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: that's a good example of it. That basically the story went,

992
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: the NFL network came to all the employees and we're

993
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: basically like, hey, we're gonna do this voluntary salary cut

994
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: because of COVID and all the stuff, and and we

995
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: just want everybody to be a part of that. And

996
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: we're so this is what we're gonna do. And they

997
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: gave him a sheet of paper and they told him

998
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: it said on that they were gonna cut his salary

999
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: twenty five percent. That was his voluntary cut. And so

1000
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: he looked at it and he decided, you know, I'm

1001
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: not I'm no, I'm gonna scratch twenty five out and

1002
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: I'll put ten. I'm gonna contribute ten. So he gives

1003
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 1: it to him at the last minute and they're like, wait, well, Mike,

1004
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: wait we had we have you slided for twenty five.

1005
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: He's like, nah, nah, it's voluntary, right, it's voluntary. I'm

1006
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: willing to contribute ten million. I'm not percent. I'm willing

1007
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: to contribute my ten percent, but I'm not willing to

1008
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: contribute twenty five percent. And the host of the show

1009
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: that was talking about they were saying saying, They're like, yeah,

1010
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: he's got fe money. He's got the kind of money

1011
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: where he can say, what are you gonna do if

1012
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: you fire me? So what, I got money in the bank.

1013
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. Those other guys in those

1014
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: cubicles in that office, they don't have that flexibility. They

1015
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: don't have that ability to be able to say no.

1016
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: So in this instance, Lyle has that ability. He's made

1017
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: enough money and there are probably other teams that would

1018
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: be willing to sign him if the Cowboys said Okay,

1019
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna do it, then you're out, like

1020
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: somebody that they don't have a replacement for Michael if

1021
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: they don't have a guy sitting there that's like this

1022
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: guy when he's in the chairs just as good. But

1023
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys they do, then he's a lot cheap. Oh absolutely,

1024
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: And that's part of it too, that's and that's on

1025
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys calculation. The Cowboys calculation is, if he won't

1026
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: do it, we'll let him go and we'll just save

1027
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: some money and we'll put the other guy in there,

1028
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: and we think we'll be comparable at that position. The

1029
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: tricky party goes back to tying though, because you need

1030
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: three tackles because Terrence Steele played a lot of left

1031
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: tackle last year too, because you can't count on him,

1032
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: so you need three tackles. So you can cut lie

1033
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: if you want to, and you can say I got

1034
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, But then who's playing left tackle for the

1035
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: four and a half games that you missed because Tyron

1036
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: the guy you drafted twenty four? I mean, yeah, it's

1037
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: that's the only option at that point. There's a lot

1038
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: of picks there for twenty four? Do you only get

1039
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: to pick one? I just took a receiver earlier. Welcome

1040
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: to the draft, babe, That's what makes it fun. Cut

1041
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: cut tank, and then and then Randy doesn't sign, and

1042
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: then and then dan Quinn says, no, I want Michael

1043
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: to be playing this linebacker role or whatever. Then who's

1044
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: rushing the passer? Which ended Lawrence? Is he back? He's

1045
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: not under contract right the And to tie that back in,

1046
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: I think that's something that you might hear about a

1047
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: lot too, Like when you go to the combine, you know,

1048
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe they try to get somebody to agree to a

1049
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: pay cut. DeMarcus Lawrence could be a candidate for that.

1050
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: But what's that Zeke? Sure, maybe you got to have

1051
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: leverage to do well. Again, that goes back to my point.

1052
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: Those guys have a few money They're like, I ain't

1053
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: doing that. Cut me and then eight, you know, ten

1054
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: teams will want me on March seventeen. They can't cut, Zeke.

1055
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: They can't. They can't cut. That's the point. They don't

1056
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: have the leverage to to kind of push because you know,

1057
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: we've seen them down the past. It's kind of like

1058
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: the Hey, you know, I'm holding the gun and I'm like, hey,

1059
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: you want to take the salary cut? Uh? Well, yeah,

1060
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: I guess so. Because I don't have enough leverage like

1061
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: you can. Basically, it's hurt me, and so yeah, it's fascinating.

1062
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, from July until January, it's like we all

1063
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: got a row as one. We're all trying to complete

1064
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: our objective together, and then the minute the season's over,

1065
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 1: like the knives, who's trying to take my money, who's

1066
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: trying to cut me? What's going on? You know? So yeah,

1067
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: all right, um, actually, I think we're gonna gun. I

1068
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: think we're gonna go ahead and save the rest of

1069
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: these conversations. Next week. We do have to talk about

1070
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: the cornerback position, because I think that's another interesting position

1071
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: where you got a couple of guys you could consider

1072
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: making moves with. The question just became is Kelvin Joseph

1073
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: Freder to take that next step and jump into a

1074
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: starting role. We'll talk about that next week. So let's

1075
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: end the show though. On our super Bowl picks for

1076
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: this weekend. I gotta feel and I already know what

1077
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 1: Dave's gonna say, but we're gonna give everybody a chance

1078
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: to make their Super Bowl picks. Let's start with you, Dave.

1079
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I picked against the Bengals when they played

1080
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and they proved me wrong, and I don't

1081
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: feel good about the Bengals offensive line holding up against

1082
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: Donald and Vaughan and Floyd, But I'm not. I won't

1083
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: bet against him again, not in not with it all

1084
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: on the line. I'm going Bengals Bengals Amber exactly for

1085
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: the reason that Dave said about the old line and

1086
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: how much he was attacked. I mean, poor guy, but

1087
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: he made it. He made it through and got to

1088
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I would like them to win, but

1089
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: I think that the Rams are probably the likeliest to

1090
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: win this game because of what they got, right, Nick,

1091
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: I really just like, I don't care like and I

1092
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: want to like, I want to get the super Bowl.

1093
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: I I love the super Bowl, But I just I

1094
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: don't like. I don't won't. I mean, I guarantee you,

1095
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: whoever gets up fourteen points, I'm gonna be rooting for

1096
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: the other team to come back. That's what I'm rooting for,

1097
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: is I guess? And but who do you think? And

1098
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't even say it, route like, who do you

1099
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: think when you put these two games? I don't get

1100
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: each other. I don't know. I mean the Bengals have

1101
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: been I mean playing it close. I mean they could

1102
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: have lost the first game, but they keep finding a

1103
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: way to win. I don't I don't know. I guess

1104
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 1: I'll pick I agree with Amber, I think the Rams

1105
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: will win, but I've missed almost every pick in the playoffs,

1106
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: including the Cowboy game, so I don't know. I'm gonna

1107
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: pick the Rams. So it's good luck to either. I

1108
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: think the Rams are the better team on paper, but

1109
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: paper is undefeated and winless. Since he's got Joe Shicty.

1110
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: That's like that, I won't like you. I mean, I

1111
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, we know how Nick feels about

1112
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, Like there's there's something in the back of

1113
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: my mind where I'm just like the stage like this.

1114
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. You think he's gonna fall apart? It

1115
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me. Well, I just think I agree with

1116
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: I think what all you guys are saying is really

1117
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: the key to this game. Aaron Donald's a problem, and

1118
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: you put him up against that offensive line, I think

1119
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: that's even more of a problem. And I think Von

1120
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: Miller is that kind of player again. You want to

1121
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: talk about DeMarcus Ware, he is now DeMarcus Ware in Denver.

1122
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: He's a guy they brought in who is a guy

1123
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: that you give him one game, a super Bowl, by

1124
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: the way, to be able to show what he can do.

1125
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a significant problem for

1126
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: them as well. And I just don't see a scenario

1127
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: where Joe is going to have enough protection against that

1128
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: front to be able to be able to make up

1129
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of points. The only way I think

1130
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: they win this game, honestly, is if it's a defensive

1131
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: struggle and it's just neither offense is really getting much done,

1132
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: which can go into your stafford thing, and then you

1133
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: kind of get to the end and Joe just gets

1134
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: some Joe magic and makes it hap throw up, throw

1135
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: a couple opportunities up, Matthew, throw up, throw up some

1136
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: dicey yeah, throw up some dicey balls. I don't I

1137
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I can't bet against him, not

1138
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: not after what I've seen the last month or so.

1139
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: It's so the Saints. The Saints made this won the

1140
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when I was like in college, and that

1141
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: was amazing, and I I never I've never thought I

1142
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: would be emotionally invested in a Super Bowl until maybe

1143
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: I covered a Cowboys Super Bowl. So I mean, I

1144
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be exactly the same. But

1145
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: it's weird to think that I'm going to be very

1146
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: emotionally invested in a Super Bowl between the Bengals and Rams,

1147
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: like the most random super Bowl matchup ever. Well, I

1148
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: will say this, We'll be watching Cheetobo Woozier out there

1149
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: playing for the Bengals. I'll be rooting for him because

1150
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: I personally want him to get a championship since he's

1151
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: there in the super Bowl game. Uh So that all

1152
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: being said, Well, appreciate you guys. Jonnas not so much.

1153

1157
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. One of my best friends that's ever
