Speaker 1: Thank you man. I wasn't going to do too much
Speaker 1: because you guys a morning right now, and just how
Speaker 1: to respect for that because I was going.
Speaker 6: To bring them, could have gone to Oxford.
Speaker 1: I was going to bring them, but but yeah, no.
Speaker 8: School is still under litigation. So it's been a rough week.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: Hope for the victory going to the Grounk Ball.
Speaker 6: They are serious.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you didn't back out of it like
Speaker 1: you're in a bowl. At least you didn't decline the.
Speaker 8: Shots at Michigan and Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: Well, Michigan's in a bowl. Michigan's in the Cheese.
Speaker 7: Hit Bowl with seven the cheese Bowl.
Speaker 8: It's fine.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 1: I meant like seven or eight other teams as of
Speaker 1: last night had declined invitations as well.
Speaker 6: I hate that, man. Could you imagine being a senior way.
Speaker 2: That's my problem with Yes, the protests isn't convenient for everybody, Kyle, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what protest isn't isn't going to be convenient for everybody?
Speaker 6: What do you mean? What do you mean right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm with countless.
Speaker 3: It's bad.
Speaker 2: I don't just agree. But when a stand has to
Speaker 2: be taken, somebody's going to catch the you know.
Speaker 5: The stand Notre Dame is taking that they are upset
Speaker 5: that they didn't get in.
Speaker 2: I think they're them along with probably other university. I'm
Speaker 2: surprised Texas is not protesting amount though or have losing
Speaker 2: records in their decline.
Speaker 6: It was it was Notre Dame and by the first
Speaker 6: and seconds.
Speaker 1: These protests aren't actually equal. Yeah, Notre Dame is protesting
Speaker 1: the playoff for sure. If they join a conference, schedule
Speaker 1: a better schedule. Don't just play who you.
Speaker 5: Want to play and then immediately pout when you don't
Speaker 5: get That's my thought.
Speaker 6: Get over it with man like.
Speaker 5: I hate it for those guys like and I'm sure
Speaker 5: Coach Freeman has his reasons for it.
Speaker 6: But it's stupid.
Speaker 5: It's just dumb to take that opportunity away, and it's
Speaker 5: gonna be a good bowl game. It'd be a like
Speaker 5: a borderline New Year's six Bowl game and Notre Dame's
Speaker 5: just like, nah, we're good. Like ask Joe Schmoe, who's
Speaker 5: the second team linebacker who spent all those summers and
Speaker 5: all those days working grinding, studying film for the one
Speaker 5: opportunity that he gets the chance to play, And even
Speaker 5: if it's an a bowl game and the starter doesn't.
Speaker 2: Play, he does.
Speaker 5: That's the that's the opportunity that you're missing from our careers.
Speaker 6: Over now opting out, Yes, he's done.
Speaker 5: The next job he'll have other than playing football at
Speaker 5: Notre Dame is sitting behind a desk nine to five
Speaker 5: and he doesn't get a chance to play that ever again,
Speaker 5: and he never will. All of a sudden, the last
Speaker 5: game he ever had was in week twelve, and he
Speaker 5: had no idea that that was his last game in
Speaker 5: the mom couch.
Speaker 6: So I I.
Speaker 8: Can't start early.
Speaker 2: He might work at eighth to four.
Speaker 1: Bit maybe.
Speaker 6: What place you're going into.
Speaker 5: I feel like I worked seven to eleven sometimes like
Speaker 5: a M to PM, but seven eleven sponsors, I think
Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 2: Was that. So I think I'll just do away our
Speaker 2: bold gift. Yeah, No, I'm saying you do remember those
Speaker 2: gifts though, that's that is an experience.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm bro I really am, and I think you're
Speaker 6: right for this.
Speaker 2: What do you think that they are going to get
Speaker 2: accomplished by taking this and nothing?
Speaker 5: Zeroelch Well the College Football Playoff committee, So Cionara, we
Speaker 5: made our choice.
Speaker 6: You lost the Miami they.
Speaker 1: Put it and it's like, oh, this is the beginning
Speaker 1: of the end of bowl games. No it's not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not because bowl games make too much money. They
Speaker 1: will find it lost to Alabama half three?
Speaker 6: Who got it?
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's in the Pop Tart Bowl this year.
Speaker 1: Oh Alabama shouldn't be.
Speaker 6: I don't know. I gotta ask.
Speaker 1: I think somebody one of the teams to climb the pod.
Speaker 7: They I believe, so I wonder if there's politics.
Speaker 1: Feel free to correct me, but I think someone someone
Speaker 1: to climbed the Pop Tart Bowl because I remember seeing
Speaker 1: one of the couple of my followers respond to that tweet.
Speaker 1: I was kind of doing multitasking fall Yeah, because they're
Speaker 1: they're mine. I mean, if they also follow you, they're
Speaker 1: yours as well.
Speaker 6: I got a few all we got to get in
Speaker 6: the news game Christ.
Speaker 1: The rest up my home.
Speaker 6: I know you.
Speaker 1: Just for example, the Birmingham Bowl, they're trying to find
Speaker 1: someone to play Georgias up. They've had like four teams
Speaker 1: declined the invitation. So to your point, yeah, and to
Speaker 1: your point, that sucks. And then you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: guy like Joe Schmoe or a guy who's right there
Speaker 1: on the bubble as far as you know, draft status,
Speaker 1: draft stock.
Speaker 6: Yes, one more, one more game, and maybe this game is.
Speaker 1: The opportunity for him to shine and he goes from
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent to maybe a seventh or sixth
Speaker 1: round pick. So those opportunities for those guys that are
Speaker 1: going So I'm with Kyle on this. If your message is,
Speaker 1: you know, you want to end Bowl games, there's a
Speaker 1: different way to go about that without sacrificing guys who
Speaker 1: have sacrificed for your program. I'm with Kyle on that one.
Speaker 1: So now fall.
Speaker 5: Here, Yeah, cow Spitball by b YU and Georgia Tech
Speaker 5: are in the Pop Tart Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good game. Oh nice, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: super game. Georgia Tech. We did this to you. We
Speaker 1: did this to you. So let's talk news and notes
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys first and foremost, or primarily I
Speaker 1: should say, injury status for some key guys. Oh man,
Speaker 1: good news. Oh oh okay. So Ceede Lamb had the
Speaker 1: very very scary concussion that he suffered in the Lion's game.
Speaker 6: The more I go back and watch, that's it's scary.
Speaker 5: It's it's I thought it's it's when we were watching
Speaker 5: in real time, we thought it was a shoulder thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, yeah, it wasn't, but it was
Speaker 2: because of the lock up aingers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was pretty Terrif there's another angle that I
Speaker 5: saw after the fact.
Speaker 1: I don't like. Not great. Now I will say two
Speaker 1: pieces to this one. In seeing CD get on the
Speaker 1: charter flight, he would he looked fine. He didn't need
Speaker 1: any assistance getting his bags up the staircase into the
Speaker 1: charter flight. So again I say this on Twitter when
Speaker 1: I gave that update, I am not saying that Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb is okay to play football today or yesterday or
Speaker 1: when I gave that update. What I'm saying is that
Speaker 1: is positive progress from seeing him lock up on the
Speaker 1: field after hitting his head on the turf. Okay, that
Speaker 1: being said, now we go to the second part of it,
Speaker 1: which is the team's purview of it. Ceedee Lamb had
Speaker 1: quote unquote a good day. This is perb Brian Schottenheimer
Speaker 1: and his press conference on Friday, I believe, and he
Speaker 1: said that the team quote unquote hopes the next couple
Speaker 1: of days should help. Now add to that, Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: on Friday spoke with one O, five to three of
Speaker 1: the fan and he said, Ceedee Lamb is quote unquote
Speaker 1: headed in a good direction. I'm sorry this was Stephen Jones.
Speaker 1: Headed in a good direction towards likely playing. But again,
Speaker 1: NFL concussion protocol is an independent decision, so two things
Speaker 1: are true. Good news on the CD Lamb front. He
Speaker 1: has made a good bit of progress. Looks like he's
Speaker 1: mostly out of the woods when it comes to his concussion. However, however,
Speaker 1: he still needs to go through the benchmarks to make
Speaker 1: sure that he's cleared. He is on track right now,
Speaker 1: but there is no one that's going to make that
Speaker 1: decision except for the independent neurologists. But good news for
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. Put a pendent though. We'll see if he's
Speaker 1: ready for the vikings. Looks like he will be. We
Speaker 1: will see Tyler gout and not let's talk about the
Speaker 1: guys who missed the game. Okay, Tyler guy In Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones to one oh five through the Fan on a Friday,
Speaker 1: he said, quote my thought, my thoughts are that he'll
Speaker 1: be available against the Vikings. End quote. I like to
Speaker 1: hear that about Tyler Guyden. So there you go. What's wrong?
Speaker 8: Does Isaiah's is on something?
Speaker 2: This guy, this two hundred and seventy degree vision. It
Speaker 2: messes with me at times because I see his expressions.
Speaker 2: I see everything in fact court vision what we call
Speaker 2: it in the court vision. So Tyler gut In, it's
Speaker 2: on track to play it to a return against the
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. On this coming Sunday, as is jadeveon Clowney
Speaker 2: and I am of the opinion that the Cowboys really
Speaker 2: missed clown I am too.
Speaker 6: Isn't it wild how much impact he has made?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big, physical defensive end that can pass, rush
Speaker 2: and stop the run.
Speaker 8: But I thought he was watched Kyle. That's what everyone
Speaker 8: was saying. That That's what everyone was saying on this show.
Speaker 5: On this show say, the amount of impact that he
Speaker 5: has he's provided for this team is exactly what you wanted.
Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh, we're not even.
Speaker 10: Wondert milligrams in eleven minutes, just the party going.
Speaker 6: That's insane.
Speaker 5: The fact that you signed him off the couch in
Speaker 5: the middle of what was it, week two or week three.
Speaker 6: To get out of.
Speaker 5: I'm about you have to pop up, uh, continuing javing
Speaker 5: Jadavian Clowney. The impact that he's had in terms of numbers, production, film,
Speaker 5: veteran ability, all of that is why you signed him.
Speaker 5: And I think he's already been worth the money and
Speaker 5: it was he's already worth the contract.
Speaker 10: Percent and it happened long before the Thanksgiving Game. I
Speaker 10: think that's when we're giving him a lot of credit
Speaker 10: after the two sacks.
Speaker 6: Was always there.
Speaker 8: He was always there.
Speaker 10: He was always making a mess out of the line
Speaker 10: and being able to disrupt. But I think you saw
Speaker 10: it more so in that Thanksgiving game where people say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 10: Jadevin Clowne, he's the man, And in course you miss
Speaker 10: him the very next game, which sucks, but he was.
Speaker 8: He's been doing it since.
Speaker 2: He feels as if you were listening to Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 2: you would have heard that. We said the analyst sitting
Speaker 2: here that watch film said that he was ramping up.
Speaker 6: He was.
Speaker 2: He needed a couple of games to get.
Speaker 1: Under his belt.
Speaker 2: Right, started off slow, but by the third game he
Speaker 2: was having a true impact.
Speaker 1: His training camp was in real time like and during
Speaker 1: the regular season.
Speaker 6: Same thing's happening for Savona Rebel right now, by the way.
Speaker 1: Louder for the people in the bag, please, we'll get
Speaker 1: to that. Because I gave the Rooks some grace on
Speaker 1: the touchdown. I was like that, that's been rough. But
Speaker 1: he didn't get depths.
Speaker 6: Gonna take some time.
Speaker 7: You could, you could get teaching reps in games.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? That's the only every rookie
Speaker 1: gets teaching reps in games.
Speaker 5: You think they boy Isaiah, it's not. But he's been bad,
Speaker 5: but we anticipated him to be bad. It's the first
Speaker 5: he's coming off of a major in Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, it's a rookie coming off of a tournament. Clown
Speaker 1: should be quote ready to go against me. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not going there with him, and he's three hundred
Speaker 1: milligrams in. Let's just sat yeah, let's just let the
Speaker 1: shakes go away first. Jenevion Clowney is quote ready to uh,
Speaker 1: we'll be ready to go against Minnesota barn Any setbacks.
Speaker 1: It's per Brian Schottenheimer. That is very definitive news. So
Speaker 1: as long as Jadeveon Clowney has clean practices this week
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are finally back on a normal week
Speaker 1: and a normal schedule, finally, I like it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: they'll be back on the practice field on Wednesday for
Speaker 1: two weeks and then stop it be where your feet
Speaker 1: are trying not to look that because it's tied.
Speaker 7: Boss, I's tied. And last, but certainly not least. Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 1: He returned to practice at his twenty one day practice
Speaker 1: window opened a couple of days or so before or
Speaker 1: last week's game. There was good optimism that he would
Speaker 1: play in that game in Detroit. He did not. However,
Speaker 1: he was rude and active. He was not activated to
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. There's a better chance of
Speaker 1: that happening this week. But word has it Trevon Diggs
Speaker 1: wants to play. Whereas it Trevon Diggs says he's ready
Speaker 1: to play, but they have to say he's ready to play,
Speaker 1: they being the medical staff.
Speaker 8: So he wants to play.
Speaker 7: He wants to play.
Speaker 1: So I mean as all athletes and competitors would want
Speaker 1: to do. You kind of get tired of sitting on
Speaker 1: the salem, even if it's due to injury, you get
Speaker 1: tired to sit on the sellem. So we will see
Speaker 1: how this week's practice goes. Better chance of returning this
Speaker 1: week against the Minnesota Vikings. We will see if that
Speaker 1: comes to fruition.
Speaker 2: How long has he been out?
Speaker 1: This is five weeks. That'll be five five games, got you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll be five six weeks, six weeks. Yeah, because he
Speaker 1: had the bye week.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, got youa y Yeah, but at least he
Speaker 10: worked out with the team in the off season right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, m.
Speaker 1: Y so good.
Speaker 5: It's really just I say, yeah, all right, I got
Speaker 5: a draft question for you guys.
Speaker 8: Please like, yeah, already started the draft Kyle, the heck,
Speaker 8: I'm not.
Speaker 6: I'm not there yet.
Speaker 7: Come on, man.
Speaker 5: Mentions every time we lose, I can't get drafted.
Speaker 6: I know, Sorry.
Speaker 5: Dude, Uh, every time we lose. My mentions are start the.
Speaker 7: Draft shoe, get the draft show going.
Speaker 6: Might as well fire fire.
Speaker 5: It up, like, get it go, and trust me, I
Speaker 5: love the Draft show as much as anybody.
Speaker 6: But now, uh.
Speaker 5: One thing I will ask though, is at this point
Speaker 5: in time, is we kind of evaluate post bye week
Speaker 5: four games? Right, We've got a better sample size now
Speaker 5: following the bye week three and one on those four
Speaker 5: games going into the Mini. Buy now, as you get
Speaker 5: ready for for Minnesota coming up on Sunday, where do
Speaker 5: you feel like the needs are on this roster? On
Speaker 5: what you have right now? And keep in mind a
Speaker 5: lot of this is going to change because there's first
Speaker 5: round or one year deals are in expiring contracts on
Speaker 5: the board for a lot of significant players George Pickins,
Speaker 5: Javonte williams Uh, Jadevion Clowney.
Speaker 6: Who we just talked about a little bit.
Speaker 5: Multiple guys are on one year deals right now or
Speaker 5: expiring deals for that matter. So you currently have the
Speaker 5: fifteenth overall pick in the NFL draft, that's your pick.
Speaker 5: Then the Packers pick is slated at twenty eight right now.
Speaker 5: Of course that's going to change based on the playoffs.
Speaker 5: So where would you use your first round picks if
Speaker 5: the draft were tomorrow? So keep in mind that there
Speaker 5: are going to be some changes. But if the draft
Speaker 5: were tomorrow, where would you try and add to this team?
Speaker 5: Does that have to be an order, doesn't have to
Speaker 5: be an order.
Speaker 2: Okay, Defensively, I'm going d N I'm going cornerback. Offensively,
Speaker 2: I'm going to wide receiver.
Speaker 6: Okay, so those are your three.
Speaker 1: Those are my three.
Speaker 6: Got two round picks. You're thinking best player at that spot, then.
Speaker 2: You need a bigger defensive end that that has a
Speaker 2: that can do what Jadevian Clowney does, right, but just
Speaker 2: substantially younger. So you need somebody to fill that role.
Speaker 2: I think Donovan Ezerrok, who's going to be a good
Speaker 2: pass rusher in this league, but I don't for his frame.
Speaker 2: He'll fill out right, but I think that you need
Speaker 2: a bigger presence at It's more of a speak guy exactly,
Speaker 2: so I think you need to utilize him as a
Speaker 2: speed guy. And you need another larger defensive end that
Speaker 2: has the pass rush ability. So that's something that I
Speaker 2: would like to see. I would also think that you
Speaker 2: still need a cornerback.
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Trayvon. I think that you're gonna need
Speaker 2: a replacement there. I also think that you need a
Speaker 2: wide receiver because I don't foresee them bringing back Jalen Tolbert.
Speaker 2: And I think that you need somebody that's dependable behind
Speaker 2: uh the Ceedee Lamb potential George picks that.
Speaker 6: May not be the if it's if you do.
Speaker 1: Are you really going to do this to Flinoila?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, Illinois's there, he's there. But you're
Speaker 2: saying you just rolling a three.
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying is because you your state, it
Speaker 1: was you go and draft receiver. Yes in one of
Speaker 1: the first two picks. Yes, because Jayalen Tobard is probably No.
Speaker 2: No, no, no no no. Let's see what I'm saying. You
Speaker 2: don't know what I'm saying, Like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: If you know what I'm saying, Pickens, then I'm down right.
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm saying. That math is mathing.
Speaker 1: That mathing man.
Speaker 2: Okay, So again this is where we disagreed on the
Speaker 2: defensive side of the day as well. Right when I
Speaker 2: said that you're closer to being dominant at the stopping
Speaker 2: the run. That's why you'll get interior defensive line. You're
Speaker 2: right about they're closer to being dominant in what portion
Speaker 2: of your game on offense? On offense, yes, offensively, your
Speaker 2: dominant passing, Yeah, yeah, passing again for sure. Okay, So
Speaker 2: I mean I can get along with a with a
Speaker 2: tackle as well, Right, I can get along with that,
Speaker 2: but very very much so get along with it with
Speaker 2: a tackle. Wouldn't be opposed to that, However, if you're
Speaker 2: you're really close to be, if you can get one
Speaker 2: more dominant wide receiver, who can stop that? So that's
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying, Like, like I'm all about if
Speaker 2: I'm if I'm if I'm this close to being dominant,
Speaker 2: if I'm this close to being dominant and damn near
Speaker 2: unstoppable at one particular position, I want to get there?
Speaker 2: I would I don't. I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 2: want to be right there, and then pull back and say, okay,
Speaker 2: now let me go try.
Speaker 6: To feel it.
Speaker 2: Let's solidify that because you might be one trade, you
Speaker 2: might be one free agent, you might be one of
Speaker 2: those away from being solid at your other positions. But
Speaker 2: if you can push the if you could push it
Speaker 2: over the edge and have three dominant wide receivers dominant.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying if Illinois can't be in there,
Speaker 2: but I'm saying you're not putting him in a dominant
Speaker 2: conversation and you don't have George Pickins. So then and
Speaker 2: I think that if you even if you go into
Speaker 2: it and people say, well, we could just franchise tag them,
Speaker 2: you think you're gonna get the best version of George
Speaker 2: Pickins on a franchise tag or.
Speaker 10: Look, i'd argue, if your tackles are getting bull rushed
Speaker 10: by premium edge rushers, you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 10: get to them.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that. That's why I said I'm
Speaker 2: on board with a tackle. Yeah, I'm on board with attackle,
Speaker 2: but I don't know the whole salary cap situation. I
Speaker 2: know you got money tied up, you're not getting rid
Speaker 2: of guy, and you've got to figure out a way
Speaker 2: to get some dog out of him. All right, you
Speaker 2: got Terrence Steel still on his contract that you guys
Speaker 2: gave him right now, This is okay, So that might
Speaker 2: be a position on me. If there's a guy there
Speaker 2: that's dominant, then.
Speaker 8: Cool, my Kyle, go ahead.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say I would argue that you
Speaker 5: already are dominant, dominant at wide receiver. I would argue
Speaker 5: this way if it stays with George Pickens and you
Speaker 5: were able to to shore him up going into twenty
Speaker 5: twenty six. I would argue, you're already there, so to
Speaker 5: spend a first round pick on it makes no sense. However,
Speaker 5: and I get what you're trying to say. One thousand
Speaker 5: percent of Greek we just saw, We just saw what
Speaker 5: happens with CD.
Speaker 1: Want to get out.
Speaker 5: Ryan Flanoy stepped up, That's all we saw. Yeah, we did,
Speaker 5: but that's not the first time.
Speaker 6: But done it either?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not at all. And I'm saying that
Speaker 2: that's solid, But are you fully comfortable and competent moving
Speaker 2: forward knowing that that's your that's your guy.
Speaker 1: Did you see what happened the first time CD went down,
Speaker 1: assuming that you retained yours.
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not saying that he's not somebody who's a
Speaker 2: good player. What I'm saying is you get somebody you
Speaker 2: have on a contract for five years and he's dominant. Dominant,
Speaker 2: not not good, maybe dominant.
Speaker 6: If there's no George Pickens, I'm in. I'm totally in that.
Speaker 6: If George Picks is there, I'm I'm gonna says.
Speaker 2: So my whole thought again, I know we can we
Speaker 2: can differ on this. Of course, my whole thought process
Speaker 2: is if I was I'm a GM, I want to
Speaker 2: be unstoppable. That's something unstoppable. If one of my guys
Speaker 2: go down, it doesn't matter when three of ours, our
Speaker 2: guys are out there. Name a team that has the
Speaker 2: three headed Monstert receiver. Nobody, nobody, So why not be
Speaker 2: the first?
Speaker 6: You could probably argue maybe the Rams maybe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nate like yeah, sorry, you're you're two guys, two picks.
Speaker 8: Two picks, first two round.
Speaker 10: I mean I kind of have to spread it out
Speaker 10: to three different positions, so I'd like to address. Uh, first,
Speaker 10: you have to be defense for me, safety and cornerback
Speaker 10: right now?
Speaker 6: Oh you're going secondary? Secondary?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, that for me is most important. Linebacker would be
Speaker 10: in there as well. But like we just talked about,
Speaker 10: you kind of change my mind a little bit. On tackle,
Speaker 10: I would love to see another tackle coming here again.
Speaker 10: You know, Nate Thomas.
Speaker 8: We saw the sample.
Speaker 10: Size we've I mean, we've seen the good end the
Speaker 10: bad from Nate Thomas this year and he's on under contract.
Speaker 10: I mean, I would love to see how he progresses
Speaker 10: if he you know, if they decide to let tern
Speaker 10: seal walk and maybe possibly give that spot to Nate Thomas,
Speaker 10: I think that's in question right yeah, But for me
Speaker 10: right now, you need a dog a safety one hundred percent.
Speaker 8: You need a guy that can cover.
Speaker 10: That isn't just good at one thing, because your defensive
Speaker 10: coordinator right now is basically telling you, I need a
Speaker 10: guy that need a safety. I need a safety that
Speaker 10: can cover, not just go downhill. I need a safety.
Speaker 1: Need a dog at safety. Agreed. Else you need a
Speaker 1: dog and linebacker. And that's a non tendre Okay.
Speaker 6: You got an eye on you got an eye on one.
Speaker 1: I CEEJ, how's it going, CJ Allen, how's the family?
Speaker 1: Everybody from Georgia? Everybody good? Ce J Allen's absolute monster.
Speaker 1: And I think that he'd be right there in that
Speaker 1: window for that that from what.
Speaker 6: It'd probably be the late first round, Yeah, early right there.
Speaker 1: And if and this is not this is not just
Speaker 1: by his talking. Admittedly there's somebody's here, but if you've
Speaker 1: watched c. J. Allen play, and he's he's one of
Speaker 1: the more cerebral players in the country. He's arguably the
Speaker 1: best off ball linebacker in the country. He's the best
Speaker 1: tackling off ball linebacker in the country. He's sidelined the sideline,
Speaker 1: he's hair on fire. I have these to borrow a
Speaker 1: phrase from Jerry Jones, I have visions of sugar plums
Speaker 1: dancing in my head when I picture c. J Allen
Speaker 1: and Mary overshown in the middle of that that defense.
Speaker 8: Good god man, well, congratulations Philadelphia.
Speaker 6: Right, he'll be there.
Speaker 1: So I'm going line I'm going linebacker for my first
Speaker 1: two picks. I'm going linebacker and I'm going defensive end.
Speaker 1: I could see that.
Speaker 6: I love the big defensive I'm going defensive end.
Speaker 1: And Josh makes great points, Isaiah makes great points. I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree. I don't agree with the wide receiver
Speaker 1: point at all. I do agree with the d Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I agree with the defensive eni the wide receiver. That
Speaker 1: that math is not there for me, and I'll get
Speaker 1: to that in a quick second. But I'm on a
Speaker 1: record timing again as being a guy who wants to
Speaker 1: build a defense front to back. So the way you
Speaker 1: positively affect safety and corner play is you get the
Speaker 1: dogs up front, you get the dogs you get after
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So you have a deficiency at defensive end.
Speaker 1: Instead of blowing past that and saying well, let me
Speaker 1: get a high end safety. Go and get a dog
Speaker 1: up front, Go and drop a dog in the middle.
Speaker 1: So d E and linebacker specifically c J. Allen is
Speaker 1: gonna be my pick, Caack.
Speaker 10: I think the mentality is there for safety in that
Speaker 10: the Cowboys haven't necessarily valued safety at a high position
Speaker 10: so far in the draft, or a high pick. I mean,
Speaker 10: so if you have two first round picks, then it's
Speaker 10: at that point you're willing to take a chance on
Speaker 10: a position like safety because you also have another first
Speaker 10: round pick.
Speaker 5: Well, you know the last time they've drafted a safety period,
Speaker 5: like at any point in the ground. No, JJ Wilcocks,
Speaker 5: it's not that far back. Okay, he's still on the team.
Speaker 5: He's Donovan Wilson. Sixth round twenty nineteen, in the sixth round.
Speaker 5: Was the last time Dallas drafted a safety of any kind. Wow,
Speaker 5: So you talk about not valuing safety. I find it
Speaker 5: hard to believe they would. They would put first round
Speaker 5: draft capital.
Speaker 1: Typically go sixth, like it's frequently sixth.
Speaker 5: I understand that that's where I think, like a fourth
Speaker 5: round pick might be as high as they're going to go,
Speaker 5: and they have one they don't have a second or
Speaker 5: a third, but they have a fourth round pick to
Speaker 5: where maybe that does play a factor. Because I agree
Speaker 5: with you, I think they should invest in the safety
Speaker 5: position because they need a dog. But unless you're gonna
Speaker 5: get a Kyle Hamilton or Jalen Peetrie or some of
Speaker 5: these guys that are next level impact players in the
Speaker 5: first round, I don't see them doing anything like that,
Speaker 5: and even then I think they would be hesitanting.
Speaker 10: The argument though, is that if you are Matt Eberflus
Speaker 10: and you are staying on this staff because they've talked
Speaker 10: about consistency, they want to keep consistency in the defensive
Speaker 10: coordinator position, or else you're going to get the fourth
Speaker 10: coordinator in a.
Speaker 8: Row on defense. Y, that'd be wild.
Speaker 10: If you're Matt Eberflus, you're saying, I need help. I
Speaker 10: need help with safety.
Speaker 8: This is a glaring hole in our defense right now.
Speaker 2: This is my ideology. All these days are needs correct abs.
Speaker 2: So the way in which I it could be any
Speaker 2: of these when I have my GM hat on which
Speaker 2: I'm not getting paid for that obviously, I look at
Speaker 2: if I have high draft stocks, right draft equity, what
Speaker 2: positions are more difficult to find on the free agent market.
Speaker 2: What positions are harder to acquire?
Speaker 8: Forgot we're using for agency?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what we'll see?
Speaker 8: But I'm serious first year?
Speaker 2: But like also, what positions are harder to acquire from
Speaker 2: other teams? So I don't disagree anything that you guys
Speaker 2: said in terms of positional needs. But when I think
Speaker 2: about first round draft equity, what positions do I need
Speaker 2: to acquire that I can hand select that would be
Speaker 2: difficult to find from another team or from sitting at
Speaker 2: the crib? Safety teams are willing to get rid of safeties,
Speaker 2: or there's it's easier to find safeties linebackers. We've invested
Speaker 2: heavily in linebackers, and I think those are linebackers, no
Speaker 2: disrespect to the position, are easier to find, right, there's
Speaker 2: a lot more you've rotated that position last year, three
Speaker 2: or four years.
Speaker 8: Jack Bond was in a free agency pickup.
Speaker 2: So the linebackers are easier to find. Safeties are easier
Speaker 2: to find. Corners teams don't get Teams don't get rid
Speaker 2: of corners. Teams don't get rid of d ns. Right,
Speaker 2: teams don't get rid of offensive tackles. So these are
Speaker 2: positions these are positions that is gonna be very difficult
Speaker 2: to acquire from another team that if the player is
Speaker 2: worth anything, and it's going to be difficult to find
Speaker 2: on the free agent market because teams always value those positions.
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, if you have first round equity, use
Speaker 2: it to go acquire those positional needs that you cannot
Speaker 2: acquire from other people. And then safety, there's gonna be
Speaker 2: some of those guys laying around, right, or linebackers is
Speaker 2: gonna be those guys laying around receivers. I hear what
Speaker 2: you guys are saying. Teams aren't giving up solid receivers, right,
Speaker 2: They're just not. Teams aren't giving up big defensive ends
Speaker 2: that can pass, rush and infect. And teams aren't giving
Speaker 2: up tackles. You're just not getting a guy that you're
Speaker 2: expecting to come in and be a premier contributor at
Speaker 2: those positions really quickly.
Speaker 6: We gotta go to break. I'm sorry, let's go to break.
Speaker 5: We can continue this conversation on the other side of
Speaker 5: the break when we come back with more talking cowboys.

Speaker 5: Back here on Talking Cowboys presented by a Black Rifle
Speaker 5: Coffee Company, the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Had mine?
Speaker 5: You did three hundred milligrams for Isaiah stand back.
Speaker 1: Looking like Tigger.
Speaker 2: My home called me that for track Tigger?
Speaker 6: Really that was that was my name?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sure had a t in it right?
Speaker 6: Stop it?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 6: Stop?
Speaker 7: Whoa you know?
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 7: Mommy, oh god.
Speaker 2: Phil, you gotta be quick.
Speaker 6: You feel like.
Speaker 7: That was your best come back ever ever.
Speaker 6: I'm in shock him.
Speaker 7: He got him up going home.
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to do this every show or never again.
Speaker 3: Brother guy sticks.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 5: We were having a really fun draft conversation prior to
Speaker 5: the break, where we're talking about team needs and where
Speaker 5: the first round picks could be utilized if the season
Speaker 5: were to end tomorrow, but also keeping in mind that
Speaker 5: a lot of these contracts are going to turn over
Speaker 5: in the off season and free agency is going to
Speaker 5: happen before now. So very preliminary draft conversation. And of
Speaker 5: course we were talking about the possibility of defense, heavy
Speaker 5: defense in those first two rounds or first two first
Speaker 5: round picks. Yes, then you've got Isaiah talking about a
Speaker 5: possible wide receiver. I wouldn't mind an offensive lineman, but again,
Speaker 5: you can't use it a first I'm picking on an
Speaker 5: offensive lineman every year. You can, I mean you could,
Speaker 5: maybe you should, but there's conversations.
Speaker 6: To be had there.
Speaker 2: You got two of them on there right now.
Speaker 6: You were gonna make a point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was prior to the brand for the wide
Speaker 1: receiver because, like Isaiah Cook, he put his ideology out there.
Speaker 1: I understand, and there's definite improving science behind that ideology
Speaker 1: as far as as far as extrapolating for positional argument, right,
Speaker 1: But when you look at it from a personnel standpoint, currently,
Speaker 1: I am of the mindset I'm just going to assume
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at minimum they're going to franchise tag George Pickens.
Speaker 1: Now you pose, you pose the question, and.
Speaker 6: Could tag Brandon and Aubrey too?
Speaker 1: Just signed the kicker, just signed the freaking I agree,
Speaker 1: you franchise tag and we'll talk about this more once
Speaker 1: we get closer to free agency and the tag deadline.
Speaker 1: I'm of the belief they'll tag him if they need
Speaker 1: more time. I think to purchase time till mid late
Speaker 1: July to get the deal done. I don't think their
Speaker 1: goal will be for him to play under it. So
Speaker 1: that's to ask your question when you said, do you
Speaker 1: think you get the best version of George Pickens, I
Speaker 1: don't think you will be in the building it right.
Speaker 1: But that being said, I think George Pickens remains in
Speaker 1: Dallas because the front office isn't going to let him leave.
Speaker 1: We know we have Ceedee Lamb, and then you got
Speaker 1: Flow who's shown you he can be one hundred yard
Speaker 1: receiver in any given game. Those are your three right
Speaker 1: So from there, this is why for me that math
Speaker 1: doesn't math, but that math math. So when Kyle is saying, well,
Speaker 1: if George Pickens is not in the Cowboys uniform, oh
Speaker 1: I'm then I'm with you.
Speaker 6: You need that guy, and I'm with you.
Speaker 1: First round pick on a wide receiver with CD George
Speaker 1: and Flow staring you in the face, you don't use
Speaker 1: the first round pick on a receiver's just because you
Speaker 1: lost Jalen Tobart potentially, So for that feeling, I give
Speaker 1: what you saying. So that that's my only argument there.
Speaker 1: But as far as like tackle, they we need to
Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do with Karren Steele because there's
Speaker 1: a possibility. I mean, there's there's a version in the
Speaker 1: multiverse of the Cowboys where they let Terrence Steel walk
Speaker 1: and they move Tyler Gutting back to right tack. I think,
Speaker 1: I think, But that still doesn't change the fact whether
Speaker 1: you move got into right tackle or leave from that
Speaker 1: left tackle.
Speaker 7: You're you're still go.
Speaker 2: To answer attack.
Speaker 1: I have belief in Still, like I truly do.
Speaker 7: No, I'm not saying I don't speaking hypothetical.
Speaker 5: And I feel the same way about Guiden, like I
Speaker 5: have belief in Guidon too. I think he's still He's
Speaker 5: been hindered so much in them.
Speaker 10: I think the contract is harming Steel at this point
Speaker 10: because you have that potential out and the contract is
Speaker 10: too large.
Speaker 1: Argua.
Speaker 2: I think that they're looking at it completely different. But
Speaker 2: I have faith that that still has enough in him
Speaker 2: to go out there and be productive like that be
Speaker 2: a solid right tackle. Like I don't see his game
Speaker 2: falling off in a in a in a way in
Speaker 2: which you're like, ah, yeah, it's time to it's time
Speaker 2: to move on. I have concerns about guiding. I do
Speaker 2: have concerns about guiding, and it has nothing has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with the physics. Has everything that was mental.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, do you answer the question
Speaker 1: I was going to ask if that player or is
Speaker 1: that availabilities?
Speaker 2: It's player, it's it's I have questions about his top
Speaker 2: drive and yeah, and mentality for.
Speaker 1: Me, what mine is the inverse? Like, I don't have
Speaker 1: concerns about the mental I have concerns about the availability.
Speaker 7: Just simply that's where I am.
Speaker 1: It is his second year, but how many times, how
Speaker 1: many games has he already missed.
Speaker 2: I can't speak to a man's health.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't speak to whether or not he is healthy enough.
Speaker 7: But you can speak to that he has been injured.
Speaker 2: I can speak to things that I've played through, and
Speaker 2: I can speak to things that former teammates have played through.
Speaker 2: I think there. I believe I don't know right, I'm
Speaker 2: not him. There's certain things that I've seen him have
Speaker 2: to come off the field for that. I believe that
Speaker 2: other people might have stayed on the field for.
Speaker 6: That might be worth the conversation.
Speaker 2: That's my again, that's not me. I can't feel what
Speaker 2: he feels.
Speaker 8: But I'm just looking.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, and I watch him. I've seen
Speaker 2: him at training camp, but i've seen I don't know
Speaker 2: that up here he has that. I'm a dog mentality.
Speaker 2: I think that the guy next to him absolutely does.
Speaker 5: When you're in the training table, cool, that's the difficult
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 1: It's it's just perception because you just don't know. You
Speaker 1: don't know and different. Pain tolerance is similar injuries, right,
Speaker 1: So that's what I mean. Like, now, pain tolerance can
Speaker 1: be mental, but it's it's as much physical as mental.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's a mental it's it's a
Speaker 2: mental in this sport, it's a mental pain tolerance. Is
Speaker 2: pain tolerance rather be sported, but mentally you decide whether
Speaker 2: or not to.
Speaker 6: Push through it.
Speaker 1: Ask me if my tattoos hurt, No, seriously naturally hurt. Right.
Speaker 1: So there are people that have a bunch of ink
Speaker 1: like I do, and they will tell you that, Oh now,
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh no, it doesn't hurt, and they might
Speaker 1: be telling the truth. Some people are lying. Stop it okay,
Speaker 1: They'll they'll be like, oh it doesn't hurt. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: telling the truth. The pain tolerance is a bit higher.
Speaker 1: My pain tolerance is a bit lower. So although I
Speaker 1: have a bunch of tattoos, every one of these sons hurt. Yes, right, agree,
Speaker 1: but I pushed through. I get what you're saying. But
Speaker 1: the point being is that it's both of those things.
Speaker 1: It's both mental and it's the physiological makeup.
Speaker 5: And next time you're in the training table, I need
Speaker 5: you to stop your your buddy from the training staff
Speaker 5: that you're really tight with, and I need you to
Speaker 5: sit him down and.
Speaker 6: Ask that because I want to know.
Speaker 5: I really do, because if if anybody's going to know what,
Speaker 5: it's going to be the training staff, and it's going
Speaker 5: to be the guys that work with him and rehab
Speaker 5: with him all day, every day, through.
Speaker 6: The shops and through the season.
Speaker 2: Is all we can do is.
Speaker 5: We're just seeing it from the outside, so you don't
Speaker 5: know what the severity of the injury are at all.
Speaker 5: I think it's unfair to write him off because I can't.
Speaker 2: All I can do is say, hey, from what I see,
Speaker 2: if I was building a team, I would have questions
Speaker 2: about his ability to push through.
Speaker 5: Because the availability has been a problem counterpoint both in
Speaker 5: training camp and then.
Speaker 2: C It's not even just an injury thing for me,
Speaker 2: like injuries happened. It's not just an injury thing for me.
Speaker 2: It's just how I've seen the approach to the game.
Speaker 2: It's not consistent enough for me to be protecting your
Speaker 2: most valuable asset on your team.
Speaker 10: Just yeah, no, no, I think that was well put
Speaker 10: by all sides. It's hard to know what he's facing.
Speaker 10: You know, you're not him, and I think that's the
Speaker 10: great idea to kind of reach out and see basically
Speaker 10: what the coaching staff thinks of his progression so far.
Speaker 10: But you can't deny that availability has been a concern.
Speaker 8: For him regardless.
Speaker 10: This conversation is kind of moot because he's been so
Speaker 10: inactive and unavailable for.
Speaker 1: The for.
Speaker 8: One reason or another.
Speaker 10: I think it was tough to have him in the
Speaker 10: last few weeks of training camp out with that injury.
Speaker 10: Thank goodness he came back from that and was able
Speaker 10: to play. Uh, But at least for my purview, I
Speaker 10: don't think the concern is there. And you have him
Speaker 10: under contract for the next few years, you have to
Speaker 10: see how he develops. For me, it's it's right now,
Speaker 10: It's Terrence Steele and where you go from there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's take our second break. When we
Speaker 5: come back. We've mentioned a lot of positions. I've got
Speaker 5: some names for you guys. You will see if we
Speaker 5: can maybe like sprinkle in some names, sprint craft names
Speaker 5: in my early prep spreading me man.
Speaker 1: Isaiah's like, you know, I don't know none about that.

Speaker 2: does it would say that just because we're talking about
Speaker 2: this does not mean that we're feeling as if we're
Speaker 2: out the playoffs.
Speaker 8: No, you know, we just want to talk about the Viking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is if we were using this bonus day,
Speaker 1: bonus day, right, we're using this bonus day to talk
Speaker 1: about the playoffs, then we'd have a bunch of laughing
Speaker 1: face emojis in the Chip playoffs.
Speaker 6: What honestly, like, you've got a lot.
Speaker 5: Of things go right anyways, Just however, this is just
Speaker 5: a draft day conversation because we've got an extra bonus
Speaker 5: day sprinkled in of content.
Speaker 10: We want to have the conversations we are not typically permit,
Speaker 10: not permitted, but like have time for Yeah, we typically
Speaker 10: don't have time.
Speaker 1: We love you fandomly, but let us cool.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get all your segments this week, in fact,
Speaker 2: all of them, including including yeah lab coat in the
Speaker 2: college football in the chest.
Speaker 1: As soon as we said the word playoff, Jack Burton said, please,
Speaker 1: season is over season?
Speaker 8: Yeah, there he goes can't win.
Speaker 6: It makes Jack, So let us cool.
Speaker 5: All right, I've got a couple names for you guys. Okay, Isaiah,
Speaker 5: you said you wanted a wide receiver. Would you like
Speaker 5: a big bodied wide receiver that can be a red
Speaker 5: zone threat or would you rather like, Oh, you want
Speaker 5: a slack guy.
Speaker 2: Want to slack?
Speaker 5: Well, I have a big body wide receiver from Washington
Speaker 5: just because he's a U DUB guy and I wanted
Speaker 5: to throw his name out there. He's probably a late
Speaker 5: first round, middle first round pick. His name is Denzel Boston,
Speaker 5: six foot four pounds. He's had nineteen touchdowns over the
Speaker 5: last two seasons. Red zone threat, and he's also a
Speaker 5: deep threat as well, averaged over fourteen yards per reception throughout.
Speaker 6: Not a ton of.
Speaker 5: Burst off the line of scrimmage, but still a guy
Speaker 5: that can. I mean, he's he's quick. Yeah, he reminds
Speaker 5: me a little bit of a former Washington wide out
Speaker 5: in Romano Donsay, But I think Donza has a little
Speaker 5: bit more burst than this guy does.
Speaker 2: It's more of an I like the fact that he's
Speaker 2: from Udubwever.
Speaker 6: I don't want that guy.
Speaker 2: I want a guy that he's a mismatched nightmare for
Speaker 2: any nickel that decides to step on the field. If
Speaker 2: He's a mismatch nightmare for a nickel. He's a missmaster
Speaker 2: nightmare for a linebacker and a safety anybody else that
Speaker 2: wants to walk out there, and I say that he
Speaker 2: has to stay at slot. Yeah, but I'm saying I
Speaker 2: want a guy that you put at slot and is.
Speaker 10: Like, crap, give me a give me an example. Not
Speaker 10: that we're talking about trading and.
Speaker 2: He's talking about I mean, obviously this position that has
Speaker 2: kind of changed and evolved over the years. But you
Speaker 2: remember I played with guys like Julian Edelman. I played
Speaker 2: with guys like Wes Welker, Guys like that that you
Speaker 2: just can't.
Speaker 8: You can't guard Kody like that in the draft.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at I don't I want Jordan Tyson
Speaker 5: from Arizona State, five or six foot. I mean, he's
Speaker 5: kind of he can be an ex He's more of
Speaker 5: like a CD than he is like a.
Speaker 2: I want to quick guy, quick first ten yards guy.
Speaker 5: Let me look up this guy, mikayle Lemone or Lemon.
Speaker 5: One of its spelled Lemon l E m o N,
Speaker 5: but it's either Lamone or Lemon. He's from USC. I
Speaker 5: haven't watched him yet, but he's five with eleven one
Speaker 5: and it looks like he's a burner.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: Let me look, I'm looking at it because I think
Speaker 2: about it from this perspective.
Speaker 5: Right, twelve hundred yards, receiving seventy nine receptions, eleven touchdowns,
Speaker 5: and he's averaging fifteen yards per catch like that.
Speaker 2: So there's that.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like those because if you have to resort, if
Speaker 2: you have to revert to to our guy, Jake Ferguson
Speaker 2: being mister Chipen flat, then you still need a guy
Speaker 2: to work to work the middist.
Speaker 8: I kind of like this though.
Speaker 10: Can we can we name a player type or characteristics
Speaker 10: that we like of a player, and Kyle, you give
Speaker 10: us the best compromise in the draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't have like the wide range there guys yet,
Speaker 5: but keep going.
Speaker 7: Raft expert. Let me see him. Come on, Kyle, give
Speaker 7: me some time.
Speaker 3: Oh brother, this guy.
Speaker 5: Stack Uh, give me give me a spot. Let me
Speaker 5: see if I can find one. I do have an
Speaker 5: edge rusher that I give us a big deal.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 5: David Bailey from Texas Tech, this dude a monster. Describe
Speaker 5: a monster six foot four, two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 5: Just nothing but strip, nothing but straight strength and power
Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage, like a little bit bit
Speaker 5: throwing guys around. Yeah, I like him. I think I
Speaker 5: think you'd like him too. And you can grow into
Speaker 5: that six foot four frame too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's thirteen and a half sacks a sex attack.
Speaker 2: I would like a little bit larger defensive end presence.
Speaker 2: I feel I feel as if that's what Ezraku is
Speaker 2: going to be. Oh okay, you know mean you don't
Speaker 2: want redundants.
Speaker 1: I don't want redundancy.
Speaker 6: So what do you think in like two sixty.
Speaker 2: I've been like six six two sixty five something like that.
Speaker 6: Mateo uiyala leg oh poly Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Edge rusher from Oregon six foot five, two hundred
Speaker 5: and seventy pounds. Work doesn't have the production this year,
Speaker 5: only five sacks, it only has twenty eight tackles.
Speaker 6: But yeah, where's number ten for Oregon. You can see
Speaker 6: him in the College Football Playoff.
Speaker 1: Take a look at him.
Speaker 2: I like those numbers.
Speaker 6: Number ten.
Speaker 8: Y give me a done a munch, give me a
Speaker 8: Walter Nolan type.
Speaker 6: I love theats and tackle or a big defensive tackle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, give me a little bit. Talk about why you
Speaker 5: would want a big defensive Yeah, why you.
Speaker 2: Want another tackle? Are you kidding?
Speaker 7: You kidding me?
Speaker 2: You have three tackles right now.
Speaker 8: It's already a strength and just make it better.
Speaker 2: Push it over the edge.
Speaker 8: Push it over the edge, John, Is that what you're
Speaker 8: saying right now?
Speaker 1: Don't know?
Speaker 8: Just like your mentality in terms of wide receivers.
Speaker 6: Some point you can't play them.
Speaker 7: That might we just become best friend.
Speaker 10: But when you have to rotate them out, Kyle, guess what,
Speaker 10: there's no guy drop.
Speaker 7: Off that might push your guy period out.
Speaker 10: I like Perryon, but as he touched the field yet,
Speaker 10: Come on, man, what are we doing?
Speaker 7: So in the heill activate? How's the rookie going to activated?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 7: Give me more activision?
Speaker 5: Darryl Jackson Junior, six foot five three and forty pounds,
Speaker 5: Florida State. Or you've got Dante cora Leone.
Speaker 8: Dante Corleone, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Six foot one, three thirty five. He's a little more stocked.
Speaker 5: They're not getting it out of sense.
Speaker 6: He's got a Cincinnati I don't think so either. But
Speaker 6: that you want you wanted a big Burley defensive tackle.
Speaker 8: There's.
Speaker 2: Word.
Speaker 10: I just I don't know if Clark's contract is going
Speaker 10: to make sense this year. I mean, Jerry Jones says absolutely,
Speaker 10: we're going to keep him for sure, but I mean
Speaker 10: the cap pit next year is insane.
Speaker 1: Well, if you go to if you go to my piece,
Speaker 1: if you go to my piece that I wrote on
Speaker 1: that on the dot com, come then you will see
Speaker 1: that Kenny Clark's contract restructure it and it's very very friend.
Speaker 8: If he wants to restructure it, he has no choice,
Speaker 8: no choice.
Speaker 1: Restructuring and pay cut are two different things. Restructure is
Speaker 1: a baked in mechanism that is something for teams to
Speaker 1: be able to use the free up cap space. It
Speaker 1: doesn't affect the cash flow to the player. It doesn't
Speaker 1: affect if anything, it gives the player more liquid more
Speaker 1: liquidity up front, so they get more cash, they get
Speaker 1: cash sooner, liquidity, you said, Burley, I said, it's actually okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've learned something new every day.
Speaker 3: I gotta ba ca and smell fresh cash.
Speaker 1: So yeah, straight cash home. So yeah, so restructuring and
Speaker 1: I know a lot. That's I'm glad you brought it
Speaker 1: up because so many fans think that restructuring and taking
Speaker 1: a pay cut are two different things.
Speaker 7: So it's like Google just confirmed that for you, because
Speaker 7: I told you.
Speaker 6: That doesn't work.
Speaker 5: The availability of assets market with seventy.
Speaker 8: So it doesn't have to be the twenty million dollar
Speaker 8: Capit that work.
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It does not and can. He does
Speaker 1: not have to agree. He's not going to disagree. That's
Speaker 1: why it's it's not a mechanism that players have to
Speaker 1: agree on because it doesn't negatively impact their their income
Speaker 1: at all. If anything, it brushes it forward.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: It pushes some of the money forward for them.
Speaker 8: So I like that money's done.
Speaker 5: All right, That does it for us. You're on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 5: We are back on our normal schedule starting tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Man, we're gonna talk cowboys.
Speaker 5: We're gonna talk cowboys talking Tuesday, tomorrow, We're we're talking
