Speaker 5: Mary Church will be back and.
Speaker 6: Join us next month. Hopefully.
Speaker 4: Lots to get into here. It's the awesome season. We're
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what this roster will be.
Speaker 5: Just us, just exactly just us. Huh, just us. Uh.
Speaker 4: People come and ask me up in the streets. I'm
Speaker 4: sure they ask you to like Scooby Doo, we do it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't exactly know. So heck,
Speaker 4: just what do you want to go?
Speaker 5: Run?
Speaker 4: What are your friends asking you?
Speaker 2: What are you getting from your people? But man, trying
Speaker 2: to trick me out my spot and answer me. Now,
Speaker 2: this is the question is obviously, what are you guys
Speaker 2: doing from a front office standpoint? Are you even thinking
Speaker 2: about doing anything in free agency? You know what, collectively
Speaker 2: I'm impressed why guys that leave the organization in some
Speaker 2: manner seem like their stock goes up when they leave.
Speaker 2: And it's like, and that's the thing to me that
Speaker 2: it's always pretty like surprising, you know, darn Armstrong all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know, he's Joe Green, he's you know,
Speaker 2: we're losing guys and losing people. And not to say
Speaker 2: that they didn't have any contributions at all, but those
Speaker 2: are the things that really kind of shocked me. Is
Speaker 2: that the people that we lose when we lose Neville Gallimore,
Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden, now his stock has
Speaker 2: gone up. You know, the natives are restless and they
Speaker 2: want some some movement. They want to feel like you know,
Speaker 2: the cowboys are interested in winning next year. Right now,
Speaker 2: this sitting on your hands approach is not setting well
Speaker 2: with people.
Speaker 5: Great.
Speaker 2: Listen, they asked me the same thing they always ask
Speaker 2: because everybody is Jerry.
Speaker 5: What's up with Jerry? Why Jered? You know, it's all
Speaker 5: with Jerry Jerry Jerry Jy.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, man, listen, I don't run the team,
Speaker 2: but this this right here, what we got going on
Speaker 2: with the quarterback situation and the cap restraint that we
Speaker 2: have going on because of it, It's something that I
Speaker 2: don't I don't believe that I've seen since I like
Speaker 2: being able to understand the cap like I do now
Speaker 2: and the opportunities for guys to get paid and then
Speaker 2: what happens when you bump it down the road and franchise,
Speaker 2: Like I haven't had the opportunity to see it this way.
Speaker 5: This is a very unique.
Speaker 2: Situation because the situation with Dak's contract to me is
Speaker 2: one of we watched Russell Wilson do it to where
Speaker 2: he's getting paid thirty nine by Denver and then playing
Speaker 2: on a million dollar deal up in Pittsburgh. And if
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, they if they don't do anything, he's sixty million,
Speaker 2: and then even when he's not here next year, he's
Speaker 2: still on your cap for fifty plus. Yeah, which is like,
Speaker 2: I've never seen you be in a situation to where
Speaker 2: we still waiting. We assumed that he was gonna get
Speaker 2: paid already, so you can give yourself some cap relief
Speaker 2: and then you know, go get some players so you
Speaker 2: can be all in and it hasn't happened. I think
Speaker 2: this is a very very unique situation.
Speaker 4: My response to people, I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I hear one thing all in from
Speaker 4: the owner, but at the end of the day, we
Speaker 4: all know it's action that matter. So it's like I
Speaker 4: hear the team in motion, we're gonna do this looking
Speaker 4: at that, and then the actions don't match the motion.
Speaker 4: So at some point in time, I can just all
Speaker 4: the old line parcels is there. All I can go
Speaker 4: by is what I see, and right now and not
Speaker 4: seeing movement, I'm seeing a situation with the quarterback because
Speaker 4: you just talked about signing him. So you're just kind
Speaker 4: of sitting here right now, and at this point in time,
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of waiting on the draft to.
Speaker 6: See what needs get filled and where they go.
Speaker 4: Because if you're not spending any money, then I'm thinking
Speaker 4: you're gonna go to the draft address whatever needs you
Speaker 4: want to in the draft, and then after that hack.
Speaker 4: But that's when you kind of go and say, all right,
Speaker 4: who else is on the market and where do we
Speaker 4: sign them, because now their prices are going to go
Speaker 4: down because people.
Speaker 6: Are drafted folks.
Speaker 4: At that point, That's the only thing I can think
Speaker 4: of as I'm seeing it play out right now.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of surprised that you didn't bring up time
Speaker 2: proof and consistency here, because time proof and consistency shows
Speaker 2: what we have done historically, at least since twenty ten
Speaker 2: after Brandon Carr on the free agent market. First day,
Speaker 2: second day, first week, second week has been has been
Speaker 2: about this. It's not this is not abnormal. The only
Speaker 2: abnormal part about it is the quarterback situation. But we
Speaker 2: don't usually make big time moves in the first couple
Speaker 2: of weeks. Are we do lean on the draft, the
Speaker 2: Tyren Smith's, the Dais Briance, the Zekiel Was. We lean
Speaker 2: on on those opportunities to get our big time players
Speaker 2: and then we keep them here. But the last time,
Speaker 2: I mean we paid fifty for Brandon Carr, I think
Speaker 2: we got great. Party was another guy where you say, okay,
Speaker 2: well he was supposed to be come uh, come here
Speaker 2: and be a difference makerp But outside of that, it's
Speaker 2: stopping yeah, few and far in between, it's failure to lunch. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is this is normal failure to lunch every year.
Speaker 2: And we talked about a little bit last week about
Speaker 2: how coming into free agency is the dumb money immediately
Speaker 2: from the teams that have the salary cap and they're
Speaker 2: gonna make moves and and for me, we threw those
Speaker 2: names out there, all these guys that have now been
Speaker 2: signed by other teams. Would that have satisfied you or
Speaker 2: would you it wouldn't have. I think you'd still be
Speaker 2: in a situation where you're asking the same questions on
Speaker 2: the offensive line. You're still trying to find that continuity.
Speaker 2: You still want to know is Tyler Smith the guy
Speaker 2: that you're going to move out to left tackle? Those
Speaker 2: questions have started too matriculately. He's starting to answer those
Speaker 2: questions now. I think the only thing that you have
Speaker 2: is the draft. Like you said, those seven picks are
Speaker 2: the compensatory picks that they have. Now it makes you
Speaker 2: feel a little bit better about what they're going to
Speaker 2: do in the draft because Will McLay has had plenty success.
Speaker 2: The thing to me, I'm with you, what are we
Speaker 2: doing in Dak's contract and how does that correlate to
Speaker 2: getting guys sign like Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons because truthfully,
Speaker 2: I think what he answered to me, Ceedee Lamb answered
Speaker 2: the question last season that he is a number one
Speaker 2: correct wide receiver. So let's take that off the board.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to pay him twenty million dollars a year. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's right, that's fair. Even though Micah is locked and
Speaker 2: loaded as far as where he is in his draft
Speaker 2: pick and what they're paying him, you still have to
Speaker 2: start the conversation. Oh and by the way, you can't
Speaker 2: do that unless you re sign or restructure Dak all
Speaker 2: of those things.
Speaker 5: Right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think you take the glass off of the
Speaker 2: button and hit the panic buttons just yet because you
Speaker 2: still have time to get those things done.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: To me, having Mike McCarthy coach under one year deal,
Speaker 2: like that's the biggest head scratcher to me for the organization,
Speaker 2: Like what are we doing here because essentially you're tying
Speaker 2: this guy's hands and feet together and tell him go
Speaker 2: out here and coach this team that basically you don't
Speaker 2: have any power to these millionaire athletes. So that's look
Speaker 2: as we go along, and the things that are are
Speaker 2: that boggles the mind are plenty, but I think when
Speaker 2: it comes down to the contracts right now, we have
Speaker 2: plenty of time.
Speaker 5: To figure that out.
Speaker 2: And there isn't one guy that's out there right now
Speaker 2: that I say, Okay, yeah, you got to make a
Speaker 2: trade right now for that guy.
Speaker 5: There's still plenty of me they off.
Speaker 2: The market already, they were out there, but that's agree
Speaker 2: we missed them. Unfortunately. In my opinion, I think, who
Speaker 2: tell me who was that guy to you? Like if
Speaker 2: you if you signed that guy, I feel one of
Speaker 2: those two running backs out of say Corn and Dereck Henry,
Speaker 2: I mean you said one, you said, mikeem crub is
Speaker 2: on a one year deal. So even if you don't
Speaker 2: believe he's gonna run the ball, somebody's gonna come in
Speaker 2: here and run the ball like they're gonna They're gonna
Speaker 2: find out a way to get that done. And I
Speaker 2: think I believe that if you had one of those
Speaker 2: guys on your squad, that Mike McCarthy would have found
Speaker 2: a way to run the ball more than fifteen sixteen
Speaker 2: times a game. But I think when you look at
Speaker 2: our running back room right here right now and you say, okay,
Speaker 2: we ain't got a linebacker. We're gonna try to figure
Speaker 2: out how to show that up. Outside of defensive tackle
Speaker 2: and running back, the biggest impact players were there on
Speaker 2: the running back market. That's your time proof and consistency
Speaker 2: right there, because he hadn't shown you that he's gonna
Speaker 2: run the ball. And if you had Derrick Henry here,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have carried the ball for twenty seven twenty
Speaker 2: seven times, because that's just not the mo.
Speaker 5: O of the team.
Speaker 2: But Tony Pollard was at the beginning of the season
Speaker 2: was averaging fifteen to eighteen carries a game. Okay, I
Speaker 2: think that's a fair number to give sat Kwon Barkley
Speaker 2: or somebody eighteen carries a game, and then especially if
Speaker 2: they're being more productive than what TP was being, then
Speaker 2: you're gonna probably get more than eighteen because you'll be
Speaker 2: in the situation where you're trying to milk the clock
Speaker 2: and run it out versus what we were doing last season.
Speaker 5: That's the scariest room to me, back room, Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: the SCARIESTO.
Speaker 4: No, I'll disagree with you, Okay. To me, your scariest
Speaker 4: room is the defensive line, because what have we seen
Speaker 4: for three years you want to beat the Cowboys, go
Speaker 4: run the ball on You want to look at the
Speaker 4: playoff losses. You've lost the teams who decided to run
Speaker 4: the football on you. And Christian Wilkins was available went
Speaker 4: to the Raiders. Chris Jones never got to the market,
Speaker 4: Leonard Williams was available, Seattle resigned it. And so Hankins
Speaker 4: is now in Seattle with eight and dirty.
Speaker 5: He's gone, Yes, shoulder surger for somebody to camp.
Speaker 4: So you got him with the shoulder, so you're not
Speaker 4: left with this guy who you know, I don't know
Speaker 4: who got who got thin and now they're trying to
Speaker 4: get him, get him beefed up again. So that's a
Speaker 4: Neville Gallimore. Say whatever you want, but he was depth piece.
Speaker 4: He's gone. So I'm sitting here saying, Okay, there's Osa Diggizua, who,
Speaker 4: by Mike Zimmer standards of his defensive lineman, is a
Speaker 4: smaller guy.
Speaker 6: And you got your first round pick last year.
Speaker 4: Who who by all accounts did not live up to
Speaker 4: being a first round pick, now has shoulder surgery and
Speaker 4: you're wondering is he going to get weight back on?
Speaker 6: This to me is not just glaring.
Speaker 4: This This is how you get to be eight and
Speaker 4: nine because you've not only not fixed your problem, your
Speaker 4: problem has gotten worse. And I see these drafts and
Speaker 4: they talk about offensive tackle, Like, does anybody look at
Speaker 4: what the Cowboys are as a football team right now?
Speaker 6: Because you're talking about Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 4: He's in the division now, you know what you're about
Speaker 4: to get in Philadelphia between Saquon.
Speaker 6: And Bush Tush Bush.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're running the dan Quinn is now the
Speaker 4: head coach in Washington.
Speaker 6: You know exactly. He already knows what the ills is going.
Speaker 5: Right, He's running the buck.
Speaker 6: They are running right at you here.
Speaker 4: And the Giants, I don't know how they fill te
Speaker 4: Quad's roll, but it's pretty clear.
Speaker 6: If your day ball run at the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: I mean, you make a valid point and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: stay stay right there in that defensive line room. And
Speaker 2: that's why I was talking about guys like Chauncey Golston
Speaker 2: and the way that we used him as a twinter
Speaker 2: last year and a guy that still is a part
Speaker 2: of that young group that you want to continue to
Speaker 2: develop and Zimmer may have a plan for him, and
Speaker 2: you still have opportunity throughout OTA's and training camp to
Speaker 2: bring other defensive linemen in. It's just the fact that
Speaker 2: there hadn't been any movement there that I think you're
Speaker 2: starting to panic and starting to say to yourself, what
Speaker 2: the hell is going on? Mazzie Smith. We're gonna say
Speaker 2: it again. He has to have the biggest jump from
Speaker 2: year one. The year he can't because he's gonna be
Speaker 2: out to the training camp. But he had he had
Speaker 2: an opportunity to do like you're again and Fanny, he can't.
Speaker 2: This is a guy that cannot afford. This happened already.
Speaker 2: He lost weight last year. So the gold this year
Speaker 2: would be to do everything you can to put on
Speaker 2: some weight, which it may help him if be having surgery,
Speaker 2: because he won't be able to be as mobile as
Speaker 2: as he was. But then it's still the technique because
Speaker 2: what we saw from him was just trying to use
Speaker 2: straight power when he first got in there minus the technique,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't working for him, and then he lost weight.
Speaker 2: So when you get a guy like Zimber to come in,
Speaker 2: he wants to have his hands on a guy like that.
Speaker 2: Hey man, first round I pick last year. We need
Speaker 2: to figure out how we can make you better than
Speaker 2: you were in the previous year. You don't have the
Speaker 2: opportunity now outside of getting mental reps and watching.
Speaker 5: And mental reps.
Speaker 2: No, no, well no, not when you were second year
Speaker 2: player a Tyron Smith. Ye, mental rep Dware, Those are
Speaker 2: mental rep type of guys.
Speaker 5: Mosie Smell say, you know second year guys.
Speaker 2: Just I don't think any anybody could just do that
Speaker 2: in the second year of just sit there on the
Speaker 2: sideline and then and have to watch and and get
Speaker 2: better than you were last year.
Speaker 5: Considering how he went for him last year.
Speaker 4: And I don't I don't know this supposedly not having
Speaker 4: played this kind of level as a defensive lineman coming
Speaker 4: off shoulder surgery. When you do put him out there,
Speaker 4: what kind of what kind of reps and what kind
Speaker 4: of practice can he get out there so you don't
Speaker 4: hurt him? And by the way, the other Michigan player
Speaker 4: they took last year, tight end Luke Schoomaker as shoulder
Speaker 4: surgery too, And what did we talked about with him? Hey,
Speaker 4: got to be a better blocker. So how are these
Speaker 4: two guys gonna get up here?
Speaker 5: Get the camp? Have to got something hard man, that's
Speaker 5: the game. And that's the game. What did Jim Harbaugh
Speaker 5: send the Cowboys?
Speaker 2: He called him and told him, I'll take care of y'all.
Speaker 2: I got you. But those those two players were really
Speaker 2: good in college. You know, they were really ill?
Speaker 6: Was Glory fans? Fast in the NFL?
Speaker 2: Who you telling I've seen him many times.
Speaker 5: I've seen many times. Just don't look the same, just
Speaker 5: in field. Unbelievable man.
Speaker 4: So so man, that so what when you talk about
Speaker 4: that D line? So now we got my man, it's
Speaker 4: gonna come back here. Uh, we don't know how much
Speaker 4: way these games. He's got the shoulder issue. And what
Speaker 4: do we know about Mike Zimmer. Mike Zimmer likes Biggins
Speaker 4: up front. The Cowboys under Dan Quinn didn't have Biggins.
Speaker 5: So can we say, all right, Sam Williams, we're.
Speaker 6: Just gonna move off to go to defense.
Speaker 2: Inside, I'm just saying a guy like this, come on,
Speaker 2: let's let's have this conversation.
Speaker 5: Well, okay, go ahead, go ahead, because you asked for
Speaker 5: this one.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think that we're looking at this
Speaker 2: that the cupboard has half full, all right, and we're
Speaker 2: saying that a guy like Sam Williams and his se
Speaker 2: in his now his third year can't be impactful on
Speaker 2: this defensive line under Zimmer. I mean, obviously we need
Speaker 2: more weapons, and those more weapons is in the tune
Speaker 2: of how many more bodies that we need? Two three
Speaker 2: more guys in rotation. Well, you mean you talking about
Speaker 2: Sam Wims possibly bumping in and play on the interior
Speaker 2: defensive line. He already has. I mean you saw him,
Speaker 2: You saw him being used like that under dan Quinn,
Speaker 2: and I think that our issue with dan Quinn, because
Speaker 2: I love DQ, we still haven't been able to stop
Speaker 2: the run. I don't think Sam putting Sam Williams in there,
Speaker 2: especially when you know Zimmer likes.
Speaker 5: A bigger guy.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's that's what we're That's not what
Speaker 2: I'm looking for. I'm looking for some big old six
Speaker 2: a double team whole point. Just clog it up and
Speaker 2: make like I'm looking for those type of Sam Williams
Speaker 2: as good as an athlete is, blocking punts, doing all
Speaker 2: that stuff. I'm just talking about straight up size in
Speaker 2: the middle of the defense. I don't I don't see
Speaker 2: him being able to hold up in that position when
Speaker 2: you play a team like Philly, who's gonna get in
Speaker 2: there try to maul you or any of these teams
Speaker 2: in the league that focus on running the football, and
Speaker 2: I get it. We're having a conversation between the one
Speaker 2: tech three tech. Yeah, the big guys. I'm looking at
Speaker 2: a holistic defensive line. Okay, because I don't think that's
Speaker 2: been a huge issue. I don't think that the edges
Speaker 2: have been that big of an issue for us. I
Speaker 2: think it's it's usually been that one and three technique
Speaker 2: that worries me.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm looking for, and then just trying to
Speaker 4: reconcile it with the fact that you've got to you're
Speaker 4: changing defensive coordinators, and your defensive coordinators bringing up the beef.
Speaker 4: Kevin Williams, Lynn Belle, Joseph. These are not guys that
Speaker 4: the Cowboys have had here under Dan Quinn, and Joseph's available.
Speaker 4: Not saying they should sign it, but that kind of
Speaker 4: guy is available. So do they wait till after the
Speaker 4: draft and hope that Okay, hey man, now you're at
Speaker 4: the dollar Tree price.
Speaker 6: Let's go ahead and jump on it and get you one.
Speaker 4: Because that has been a strategy for a lot of
Speaker 4: teams and players who don't get god in free agencies
Speaker 4: like Okay, well guess what four teams field needs. We
Speaker 4: kind of were talking to them before. I guess I
Speaker 4: better go over here. And that's a good strategy in
Speaker 4: terms of signing guys at low prices. But that's that
Speaker 4: to me, that's concerning heck as much as people. You
Speaker 4: could line up an offensive line tomorrow. It may not
Speaker 4: be optimal, but you could line it up right now.
Speaker 4: You got Osazi with the shoulder, yes, and.
Speaker 2: It's tough. I look interior defense lin like you know that.
Speaker 2: But who's out there though, that's also a thing.
Speaker 5: But that now, that to.
Speaker 4: Me is where I look at the draft. When I
Speaker 4: see these drafts and offensive tackle that I see there,
Speaker 4: I just shake my head, like, no, no, you.
Speaker 5: Take another shot. Man.
Speaker 4: You just took a shot last year going to get
Speaker 4: you an interior guy and it didn't work out.
Speaker 5: Do you you say we're going to back to back years?
Speaker 7: Ye?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'm so nervous to throw the dice again.
Speaker 5: At that point, I got i PTSD right.
Speaker 4: Now, Okay, I've got I've got I've got I got
Speaker 4: a thought about that.
Speaker 2: And you never want to draft the offensive lineman for
Speaker 2: like this been this is five years agoing right now.
Speaker 5: Every time I bring up office lineman.
Speaker 4: You okay, I got straight, I got.
Speaker 5: I got a strategy. Please all right? When we come back, please, I.
Speaker 4: Got When we come back, I got a first and
Speaker 4: second round strategy that I would love to see the
Speaker 4: Cowboys if I'm in the room.
Speaker 6: This is the strategy.
Speaker 4: I'm like, guys, my ultimate strategy for rounds one or
Speaker 4: two would be this. I'll bring it to you next

Speaker 4: Okay, So, by the way, players lines about to you
Speaker 4: by Tostitos ain't even Craig Heck Maharirri soun new Scrutch.
Speaker 4: Here's my my first round strategy for the Copito Wars.
Speaker 4: Offensive tackle out because I'm putting I'm putting Tyler Smith
Speaker 4: at the left tackle.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's the first thing I'm gonna do.
Speaker 4: Will McLay told me last year we drafted to be
Speaker 4: our left tackle, So I'm gonna throw him out there.
Speaker 4: I'm going toward the defensive line. That's a problem. You
Speaker 4: win in the trenches. You've been put out of the
Speaker 4: playoffs the last three years. You being in the trenches
Speaker 4: has been a problem. Vick Fanasy will put the blueprint
Speaker 4: out there. Ain't fixing the blueprint.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So Texas has.
Speaker 4: Two big boys, Oh absolutely, Byron Murphy one of them,
Speaker 4: and then the defensive player of the year. Uh, trynte sweat.
Speaker 4: Give me one of those two guys, and I am
Speaker 4: hoping they go. God got for these quarterbacks in the
Speaker 4: first ten picks.
Speaker 2: Are they projected to be there? Byron Murphy probably won't
Speaker 2: be there? Said, we hoping, this is hoping.
Speaker 5: This is your strategy.
Speaker 4: You're gonna give us, you fin give us a dream,
Speaker 4: some dream picks who rejected to be there where we
Speaker 4: then we.
Speaker 5: Might we never know? You know, you never don't know?
Speaker 5: As that's possible. Yes, that's the draft right.
Speaker 4: There are dumb teams out here, right, So that's why
Speaker 4: I talk about the quarterbacks. All of a sudden, somebody
Speaker 4: won't get desperate up in here and you start reaching
Speaker 4: for these. Dude, somebody gonna get up. You're hoping somebody
Speaker 4: get excited about bon Nicks. Go ahead, jump up, get
Speaker 4: a bon Nicks up in here, Jump up, get a
Speaker 4: Pinix sit up here.
Speaker 6: See five six quarterbacks, And that means guys like this
Speaker 6: can can fall.
Speaker 5: McCarthy.
Speaker 6: Oh, McCarthy's gonna be a top ten pick.
Speaker 4: Better go ahead, Yeah yeah, not a shot. So that's
Speaker 4: where I'm looking at. One of these two guys.
Speaker 5: Defensive line.
Speaker 4: Defensive line. I need, I need, I need my coordinator
Speaker 4: to have a bit getting that pear. So there, round one,
Speaker 4: round two, I'm going to get the center. You need
Speaker 4: somebody to snap the ball. There's an opportunity. Big kid
Speaker 4: from West Virginia, Frasier, bigger than Beaddish, a guy who's
Speaker 4: got rave reviews in terms of the kind of character
Speaker 4: and player that he wasn't. So I get I address
Speaker 4: two needs, but also two important phases of football.
Speaker 6: We're trying to win in the trenches. You've got a
Speaker 6: problem in the trenches.
Speaker 4: And when I think about the Cowboys the last two
Speaker 4: years being put out of the playoffs, they have lost
Speaker 4: on the offensive and defensive lines in those games.
Speaker 6: In my opinion, address those in rounds one and two.
Speaker 5: There you go. I'm not opposed to it. I'm not
Speaker 5: opposed to it.
Speaker 2: And I think that with Tyler Smith moving out to
Speaker 2: left tackle, that you can then focus on the interior.
Speaker 5: So allegedly this is this is my this is strategy.
Speaker 5: He's moving on.
Speaker 2: We're not sure we'll see We don't know, yes, but
Speaker 2: that that would make sense, Yes, it would. All right,
Speaker 2: that's where we get in trouble. That's where we get
Speaker 2: in trouble. But I love what you're thinking is as
Speaker 2: far as Sweat, Sweat is a mammoth of a young man,
Speaker 2: I think Murray Murphy won't be there. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: just obviously the way that he plays, there's gonna be
Speaker 2: some team salivating to get a guy like that. And
Speaker 2: he's really not as big a guy as people think.
Speaker 2: He just plays really big. As far as stature, UH
Speaker 2: is concerned. Sweat, on the other hand, is yeah, he
Speaker 2: is bluebell eater right there. That's a guy that you
Speaker 2: you possibly can plug and play. He's a Day one
Speaker 2: guy right off the bush can play. I've always I've
Speaker 2: always everyone's been pinpointing the center from Oregon Powers has
Speaker 2: two last names. But he's he's a really guy, another
Speaker 2: one of those guys that you say plug and play.
Speaker 2: He's a Day one kind of guy. So look, you
Speaker 2: need guys like that right away. You don't need a
Speaker 2: guy that to know development in this situation because you
Speaker 2: brought Mazie in and I think the first thing you
Speaker 2: saw was oh crap, he needs to develop a little
Speaker 2: bit more, and that's why you bring in Hanking. So look,
Speaker 2: I am I am adamant about trying to shore up
Speaker 2: the interior. I don't know what everybody's thinking as far
Speaker 2: as wide receiver is concerned, because you know, look, that
Speaker 2: may be something that you can cherry pick later in
Speaker 2: the draft, but we're gonna have to find out about
Speaker 2: that as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the toughest one. I understand the center thing.
Speaker 2: I'm a defensive player, so I do see that our
Speaker 2: back or front seven is linebacker and interior defensive line.
Speaker 5: I don't know what linebackers.
Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't get into all that, but
Speaker 2: I know we have an issue at linebacker, the same
Speaker 2: injury issue that we have currently with Mazie Smith not
Speaker 2: being able to be there until training camp. Right now
Speaker 2: we're looking at We've got Perkins and Overshun is a
Speaker 2: guy who we expect to really make an impact. Well
Speaker 2: when is he going to be ready to play? So
Speaker 2: what is our depth right now? One our starters? But
Speaker 2: then what is our depth at linebacker? Buddy Johnson and
Speaker 2: Mark he spelled right, So so I mean we have
Speaker 2: we have a lot of different places where we have
Speaker 2: issues at so I have a hard time going center
Speaker 2: over defense in that case, is I'm saying, Okay, that's
Speaker 2: gonna be making sixty.
Speaker 5: We got CD Lamb.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do a running back,
Speaker 2: but I think we're gonna figure out a way to
Speaker 2: get some stuff done on offense because I think we
Speaker 2: still have the talent.
Speaker 9: To do that.
Speaker 2: I think we are lacking the talent on defense to
Speaker 2: do what we need to do in order to come
Speaker 2: up big in those in those type of games. I
Speaker 2: think we just we are missing the talent and the
Speaker 2: availability of certain guys to be able to say, if
Speaker 2: all those fails, we're gonna go out there and get
Speaker 2: a stop for you.
Speaker 4: When you were in elementary schools a youngster, when you'll
Speaker 4: remember the name Chrispy and you will remember the name
Speaker 4: and they let Mark Stepanowsky go. It was on Super
Speaker 4: Bowl teams and the Cowboys, and eventually they.
Speaker 6: Were playing a guy named Clay Shreiver. Clay was not
Speaker 6: a good center.
Speaker 5: He was not Step, not Step.
Speaker 4: He wasn't Frank Cornish, he wasn't John Geesick any of
Speaker 4: the other guys who filled it, and it became a
Speaker 4: problem for Troy and you just simply cannot try to
Speaker 4: get away at that position. You do need a next
Speaker 4: level guy. And I think about what Kansas City has
Speaker 4: create Humphrey. I think about what the Eagles have had
Speaker 4: with Jason Kelsey. I think about when Mark Stepanovsky was here,
Speaker 4: or better yet, a guy that your uncle Joe played with.
Speaker 6: Mike Webster.
Speaker 4: You get in, you get yourself a top notch player there.
Speaker 4: It makes everyone better. Travis Frederick was sensation.
Speaker 6: I go back to that draft. I raised my hand.
Speaker 5: I criticized the pick because I thought.
Speaker 6: The Cowboys should have taken a D lineman in the
Speaker 6: first round. They didn't.
Speaker 4: They traded with Minnesota, they went down, and then they
Speaker 4: took Travis Frederick, who most people thought was a second
Speaker 4: round pick. They had done their research and thought that
Speaker 4: he was a plug and play guy. He wasn't all
Speaker 4: American at Wisconsin, and they were one hundred went and
Speaker 4: got five years out him because they got him in
Speaker 4: the first round. And I remember all draft day, Tony
Speaker 4: had told Jerry Jones, thank you for the extra second.
Speaker 4: They were one hundred percent right about it, and I
Speaker 4: just feel like they need to address it, because if
Speaker 4: you've got a good one, then you're all good.
Speaker 6: You don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 4: You got one with question marks, you gotta slide some
Speaker 4: help over people trying to bull rush the middle. It's
Speaker 4: it's just when you're compromised, you just see it. If
Speaker 4: you're not compromised, then you're good. And I think Philadelphia
Speaker 4: is gonna have a real tough year trying to replace
Speaker 4: the greatness of Jason Kelsey and what he did. So
Speaker 4: that's my thing, Danny, and I don't want to wait
Speaker 4: past You definitely can't. If you better do it no
Speaker 4: later than round three. You just cannot try to skate
Speaker 4: by that position.
Speaker 5: That's just me.
Speaker 6: I just think it's too valuable.
Speaker 5: I think maybe I gotta reached the sea bias or something.
Speaker 2: I just remember what Green Bay did to it was
Speaker 2: running all over the place, and all the other teams
Speaker 2: that beat us and went out there in offenses.
Speaker 5: Not reached to see bias. It happened.
Speaker 2: But these are defensive issues that we've had.
Speaker 4: But the new Dogs playing the dresses at round one,
Speaker 4: the new Dog playing dressed baby linebackers?
Speaker 6: Okay, what like?
Speaker 7: What like?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 5: What addresses that?
Speaker 4: You got to even with Overstrow coming back, you're gonna
Speaker 4: have a guy in his first year fully playing the game.
Speaker 5: We got we got what we got more rounds? Yeah,
Speaker 5: we got we got round for everybody.
Speaker 4: So now now I'll say this, that kid from Texas
Speaker 4: A and m Cooper, well, he can play, he can play.
Speaker 5: He's exciting.
Speaker 4: But I just, I just I cannot run this defense
Speaker 4: for Zimmer without the beef. And so I'm looking for
Speaker 4: beef all over the place and I.
Speaker 5: Gotta get a sit.
Speaker 4: I don't know why people don't talk about the center
Speaker 4: enough here now you can get one.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: I would not take a heck, I would not take
Speaker 4: a center in the first wouldn't talk to somebody who
Speaker 4: specializes in draft from numbers of years. I'm very connected,
Speaker 4: and they just said, you know your centers you can
Speaker 4: get later, he said with this class, he says, you know,
Speaker 4: set round two three they could get they can get someone.
Speaker 4: But he said, you know, round two, you should be
Speaker 4: able to get one of the one of the top.
Speaker 2: Top four unless it comes down to a guy that
Speaker 2: you absolutely have done your due diligence on and you
Speaker 2: know that he is a plug and play guy. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm look, you did it with you, you like you
Speaker 2: just said, hey man, you were upset about the Travis
Speaker 2: Frederick draft and it worked out for the Cowboys either way,
Speaker 2: it goes you have some gaping holes, and I'm I'm look, defensively,
Speaker 2: you've got to find a way, and i'm you you
Speaker 2: warn me over on your your scenario there. So I'm saying,
Speaker 2: defensive line, let's address that first. And if you can
Speaker 2: get a guy like the one from West Virginia in
Speaker 2: the second round, man, that's payday all day. I think
Speaker 2: everyone would be satisfied there. But still there's still so
Speaker 2: many needs that you have not addressed.
Speaker 4: You're right, but I got but right there with that one,
Speaker 4: my scenario gives you too plug and play right away,
Speaker 4: which is nothing you got to last year's draft.
Speaker 6: Only plug and play you had was the fridge and kicker.
Speaker 2: But what Daddy is saying about the linebacker position, even
Speaker 2: if you do that in the first and second round,
Speaker 2: you still have no depth behind Overshawn who was coming off. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's saying he not even considered at this moment, he's
Speaker 2: a starter. They come round three saying he not even
Speaker 2: he not ready to play. Like he is going to
Speaker 2: in his first year. I'm not your last year was
Speaker 2: red shirt year.
Speaker 4: We heard it coming out in his first year, he's
Speaker 4: gonna be coming out here coming off of a very
Speaker 4: serious injury, and we're gonna have to see what it
Speaker 4: is like.
Speaker 5: We have no we have no idea what it is.
Speaker 4: There's there, look, there's small rounds and but yes, has
Speaker 4: it Danny, We're they got a this.
Speaker 6: Is a this is a whole bunch of you're trying
Speaker 6: to plug in.
Speaker 2: It's my issue with plug and play, and that's why
Speaker 2: the draft is tricky because we thought we had plug
Speaker 2: and play last year.
Speaker 5: We sure did. We thought we had plugg and play
Speaker 5: last year. I just like to hit people and it didn't.
Speaker 6: You know, I took Louie out, lose weight, slim fans.
Speaker 4: It was. They didn't always work out that way, the
Speaker 4: plug and play guys. Man man was stressed out.
Speaker 5: The had off.
Speaker 4: They had it off here, you know, after they've had
Speaker 4: a lot of success. They had it off here. It
Speaker 4: was really off. I just would suggest not going to
Speaker 4: ann Arbor anytime soon. And I know McCarthy and some
Speaker 4: motherfolks went up there.
Speaker 6: Like, oh gosh, get out of again.

Speaker 5: We've been on the radio for a long time. It
Speaker 5: ain't y'all in Dallas stockyards up there. Y'all been up there.
Speaker 5: Of course you're a cowboy. Have you ever that horse? Kids,
Speaker 5: I've written horse when I was younger. I'm not a
Speaker 5: It's not something that Houston. We got the rodeo. Have
Speaker 5: you read the horse? Yeah one time. And this is
Speaker 5: what I see when I'm down. You're driving down the
Speaker 5: street in Houston.
Speaker 2: You see dudes on the side of you know, they
Speaker 2: in the media and on they on their horses like
Speaker 2: that's that I grew up seeing that wasn't not a
Speaker 2: horse rider.
Speaker 6: But my child teaches people how to ride. Yeah, she
Speaker 6: waited at a horse horse camp. And the other words.
Speaker 5: Something know everything. It's not a coature over there. Everybody
Speaker 5: do everything.
Speaker 2: But the radio has been one of the biggest events
Speaker 2: of never rode a horse.
Speaker 5: In my life.
Speaker 6: I'm with you.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to keep that street lot, trying to kill myself,
Speaker 4: but my children do it and that's their thing. But
Speaker 4: black folks been black choks been doing horses forever. That's
Speaker 4: the name Cowboy. Go look that up where it came from.
Speaker 5: First one, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 4: All right, the NFL, the NFL has decided to change
Speaker 4: the kickoff rules, So XFL coming to the NFL.
Speaker 6: Danny McCray are special teams Guru, the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on this and how does bones fossil make
Speaker 4: it work for the Cowboys?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: Listen, They've been since I played in twenty ten, and
Speaker 2: probably prior to that, they've been trying to find a
Speaker 2: way to make the kickoff a safer play. Because when
Speaker 2: I got here in twenty ten, even in college, it
Speaker 2: was the wedge, right, they had guys who would just
Speaker 2: sprint all the way from the thirty to the guys
Speaker 2: that were in the wedge, triple team, double team, put
Speaker 2: your helmet in the middle, and dudes.
Speaker 5: Was getting concussed all over the place.
Speaker 2: You had like almost after in the touch back, you
Speaker 2: see dudes laying on the ground with the limb the touchback,
Speaker 2: got it, You got it, nothing man. And then so
Speaker 2: then they moved it up so then it was more touchbacks,
Speaker 2: and then now they're trying to find a way to
Speaker 2: still make it an exciting play. I think what they
Speaker 2: were explaining, was the crowd is waiting for the beginning
Speaker 2: of the game to start, right the Jets fly over
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, everybody cheering, and then you know
Speaker 2: most of the time nine times a touch back, and
Speaker 2: then you know the officers front out there, so they're
Speaker 2: trying to like make it.
Speaker 5: Be a part of the game.
Speaker 2: So I do appreciate that because I respect special teams guys,
Speaker 2: and they need to feel like they're a part of
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 6: This rule.
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be exciting for the first year.
Speaker 2: I think seeing how specialty and coordinators figure out ways
Speaker 2: to try to I want to say, trick the system,
Speaker 2: but pick guys and make sure the guy like turping.
Speaker 2: If you have one of those dynamic guys, one of
Speaker 2: those guys gets you a forty fifty yard return because
Speaker 2: those are game changing plays. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: really exciting. I think Bones Fossil is probably up there
Speaker 2: in the lab or been in the lab ever since
Speaker 2: he heard about this, and he's been figuring out ways
Speaker 2: to make it look kind of like an offense. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be some picking plays out there, dudes trying to
Speaker 2: get confused, some trickery some fake handoff reversus. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be an exciting place. So for the first year, I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I want to see how it looks and see if
Speaker 2: the other guys are able to figure it out. But
Speaker 2: I think it's a good move.
Speaker 5: What I'm not gonna do is let this game pass
Speaker 5: me by by being one of those old.
Speaker 2: Castes like ah, because I hate everything about everything when
Speaker 2: there's a rule change, you know, look like you said, Man,
Speaker 2: it came up during the time where you were running
Speaker 2: head first into a wedge. If you wanted to get
Speaker 2: on the field, that's how you did it. And it
Speaker 2: was a tough guy roll for a lot of guys
Speaker 2: that are right now you look at these guys in
Speaker 2: their post playing days and say, maybe that was something
Speaker 2: that wasn't good for the game. So the game is
Speaker 2: changing to that degree now you want to make it
Speaker 2: more interesting and for the teams to score. They just
Speaker 2: did that because, like you said, you're gonna be in
Speaker 2: a situation where you only got one level to get through. Man,
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about anything, and a guy
Speaker 2: like like the gu Turpin, it makes his job even
Speaker 2: easier because he didn't have to read a whole lot
Speaker 2: coming through that first level. So look, I think it's
Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of guys fired. You mentioned it's
Speaker 2: gonna get some some offensive coordinators up out of there,
Speaker 2: and you got guys like C. J. Goodwin who have
Speaker 2: made their name. You've made your name in the NFL
Speaker 2: by playing special team. So look, I think the way
Speaker 2: that they dumbed it down, I think it took a
Speaker 2: lot of that away, and you had guys like yourself
Speaker 2: just saying look, I made the roster based off of
Speaker 2: what I did in those situations. So hopefully open this
Speaker 2: up still gives players an opportunity to make a roster
Speaker 2: by being a full time special teams guy.
Speaker 5: So you know, you know who's gonna get fired.
Speaker 2: Whichever special teams coordinator has the mindset of a Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2: Right for that guy, I'm gonna just keep on trying
Speaker 2: it right because I know it's gonna work, and I
Speaker 2: trust my guys enough, and instead of kicking it out
Speaker 2: of the end zone and taking it at the thirty,
Speaker 2: you're gonna keep giving your guys a shot. Somebody's gonna
Speaker 2: have a two touchdown game with another two forty or
Speaker 2: fifty yard returns and you're gonna see that coach get fired.
Speaker 2: Mark mark my words on that some offense, some special
Speaker 2: teams coordinator this season that's coming up, he's gonna get
Speaker 2: fired mid season.
Speaker 6: I would try to.
Speaker 4: Sign Cavante Turping to a contract extension of right now,
Speaker 4: right now, because this kid can make plays. I've watched
Speaker 4: him in college extensively, and this is made for him
Speaker 4: to get busy.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine Devin Hester with this rule. They're not
Speaker 5: kidding it. Okay, bro, the five yards ain't worth it.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying special teams coordinators will get themselves
Speaker 2: get themselves fired by looking at a guy like Turping
Speaker 2: and knowing what he can do and saying, I'm going
Speaker 2: to try to lock him down on the twenty or
Speaker 2: twenty five instead of just kicking.
Speaker 5: It out of his zone and taking it on the thirty.
Speaker 6: Forget the touchdown aspect of it. Okay, that's your hole.
Speaker 4: But if a guy like Turpin, you make one guy miss,
Speaker 4: not maybe not on but you, he can easily get
Speaker 4: this thing to the forty four, forty five and now
Speaker 4: you're playing with half field. That That's what I'm looking
Speaker 4: for here. Touchdown break that'd be great. But if he
Speaker 4: just is able to use his speed and make a
Speaker 4: couple guys miss Now, now you're really putting your football
Speaker 4: team in some business here at the said the forty
Speaker 4: forty five, and it's a lot. He's pick up a
Speaker 4: couple first downs and then you'll kick her out here.
Speaker 4: I mean, you think about that the way you could
Speaker 4: switch this thing. If turping can get you to a
Speaker 4: forty forty five, get a couple first downs, and you send.
Speaker 5: That Brandon Arbor. Sure it's a right, you did it
Speaker 5: all day and you and I will fire my coordinator. Okay,
Speaker 5: but let's forget that week.
Speaker 4: Won I'm like, bro, if you did that, he diet
Speaker 4: that two times in the game where you're able to head,
Speaker 4: he hits it up here for some really good yardists,
Speaker 4: couple first downs you send out.
Speaker 6: That's six points.
Speaker 5: That's that touchdown.
Speaker 4: If you could almost give yourself a touchdown each week,
Speaker 4: because that team, the team you're opposing, wants to be
Speaker 4: that dumb.
Speaker 6: And you can tell you people like saying Williams, don't
Speaker 6: make it. Don't make a.
Speaker 5: Boy. You can be a business here.
Speaker 4: So John Fossil should be in the lab having a
Speaker 4: really good time about what the possibilities could be. So
Speaker 4: I'd be giving Kant Turpin an extension because I think
Speaker 4: this rule is made for him.
Speaker 5: You can hand it out extension. We ain't got no more.
Speaker 2: So we just talked all that about you handed out
Speaker 2: an extension to Comante Turping. We ain't even see that.
Speaker 2: We got four men from that give it the time.
Speaker 2: That's the guy, that's the guy.
Speaker 7: You.
Speaker 6: Hey, man, if you gotta find some points somewhere, I
Speaker 6: know block can't run, you go, depending on depending on
Speaker 6: the do with shows the surgery there to d live.
Speaker 5: So what you guys think about the hip hip drop
Speaker 5: before we go for get?
Speaker 2: Let me tell you so I understand what injury they're
Speaker 2: trying to stop, but if you want to just make
Speaker 2: the game impossible for the defender to be able to
Speaker 2: make a play, especially in the situation. So I was like, well,
Speaker 2: you I like to tackle guys from the front. Whatever,
Speaker 2: you chase him down, yeah, do that? Just run them
Speaker 2: into the end zone. My job is on the line, like,
Speaker 2: I'm here to make sure that I do all that
Speaker 2: I can for my team to make sure we win.
Speaker 2: And now it's just so many different thoughts that you
Speaker 2: have to have in your head when you're trying to
Speaker 2: tackle a guy.
Speaker 5: And it's going to cast somebody. Some games like that
Speaker 5: is going to cast somebody a game.
Speaker 2: A fourth down stop and the hip drop and he
Speaker 2: was shorter of the first down market and I was
Speaker 2: a fifteen yard and theyre going to win the game.
Speaker 4: Scoring is going up.
Speaker 5: It's this year difficult.
Speaker 4: Scoring's going up this year because you keep legislating the
Speaker 4: game to make it very hard for the defensive players.
Speaker 4: So that's just going to increase scoring. Because you know,
Speaker 4: you can't touch this guy. You breeze the quarterback's helmet,
Speaker 4: so that's a flag. Now, Oh I tackled him here wrong,
Speaker 4: And this particular referee says you touched him on the hip.
Speaker 6: I mean, you're just going to keep making it harder.
Speaker 2: Heck, and look, man, I think initially when I saw
Speaker 2: the horse collars, first time I saw it, I said, man,
Speaker 2: that's gonna get some people hurt. First time I saw it, Like,
Speaker 2: you can't tackle like that, and and I was happy
Speaker 2: that they took that out and so the guys couldn't
Speaker 2: use it anymore. Hip drop is one of those things
Speaker 2: that I've seen, like Aiden Hutchinson in class. Example, when
Speaker 2: we played Detroit last year, Aiden Hutchinson tackled Dak and
Speaker 2: he you saw him, he dropped down. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: that's dude, come on now, you know what you're doing.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that he's trying to hurt Dak, but
Speaker 2: I'm just like, you can't tackle guys like that. And
Speaker 2: I and I understand even from the Tony Pollard, Dude,
Speaker 2: you saw the tackle that broke his leg. You know
Speaker 2: what they're trying to take out in that aspect of
Speaker 2: guys getting hurt. But I just it begs the question
Speaker 2: of what do you want defenders to do?
Speaker 6: How do you get back down?
Speaker 5: Though get fired?
Speaker 6: I can't can't go to knee, can't go to get
Speaker 6: the hill, can't go But you know.
Speaker 2: The you know the sack that I'm talking about, you
Speaker 2: know the sac that I'm talking about. And I'm saying,
Speaker 2: you're dragging him down and you're trying. I mean, but
Speaker 2: you you bring all of your body weight down behind
Speaker 2: this legs. It's just a it's a dangerous play. And again,
Speaker 2: I don't know how if you're Aiden Hutchinson that you
Speaker 2: you tackle back and he's big, he's strong, you're trying
Speaker 2: to get him down, trying to move. It's not like
Speaker 2: you're hitting the stationary target trying to get away from you.
Speaker 5: It's coming. We're on our weight, We're definitely on our
Speaker 5: way to it.
Speaker 2: Till the offensive guy just fall down there, just to
Speaker 2: just fall down. If that's the case, don't get don't
Speaker 2: try to get no extra yards when you fit.
Speaker 4: If you getting chased down from behind, right, somebody, somebody
Speaker 4: wrap you up to try to bring you down, it's
Speaker 4: your responsibility to go ahead.
Speaker 5: Fall and they don't have to pull you.
Speaker 2: Biggest thing I hate too is on you see a
Speaker 2: guy on the screen, he catches the screen as soon
Speaker 2: as he turns around. The defender is in his legs
Speaker 2: because he has nowhere else to go. He has nowhere
Speaker 2: else to go. He can't, he can't anywhere next day.
Speaker 2: You know, if you've seen guys get blasted and they call.
Speaker 4: Him dirty and he a dirty player, to call him
Speaker 4: out he dirty, what is he supposed to do in
Speaker 4: that situation, because if he hits him, you know, look,
Speaker 4: it's under said roughness fifteen yards either way it goes.
Speaker 2: Or do you break a guy's leg and he's out
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. It's crazy, man, I
Speaker 2: just thought that all these changes that quick. Yeah, all
Speaker 2: on defense though, hold on, it's tough.
Speaker 6: It's tough, all right. Uh, let's players lands for this week.

Speaker 4: get Bury Church back in eastern.
