Uh. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.759 People come and ask me up in the streets. I'm 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:16.039 sure they ask you to like Scooby Doo, we do it. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:23.319 So yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't exactly know. So heck, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.440 just what do you want to go? 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:24.640 Run? 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.600 What are your friends asking you? 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.080 What are you getting from your people? But man, trying 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.560 to trick me out my spot and answer me. Now, 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.280 this is the question is obviously, what are you guys 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.639 doing from a front office standpoint? Are you even thinking 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.080 about doing anything in free agency? You know what, collectively 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.640 I'm impressed why guys that leave the organization in some 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.160 manner seem like their stock goes up when they leave. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.400 And it's like, and that's the thing to me that 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.280 it's always pretty like surprising, you know, darn Armstrong all 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.040 of a sudden, you know, he's Joe Green, he's you know, 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.280 we're losing guys and losing people. And not to say 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.640 that they didn't have any contributions at all, but those 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.560 are the things that really kind of shocked me. Is 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.080 that the people that we lose when we lose Neville Gallimore, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.239 you know, all of a sudden, now his stock has 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.799 gone up. You know, the natives are restless and they 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.440 want some some movement. They want to feel like you know, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.519 the cowboys are interested in winning next year. Right now, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.200 this sitting on your hands approach is not setting well 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:29.680 with people. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:30.600 Great. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.960 Listen, they asked me the same thing they always ask 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.800 because everybody is Jerry. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.160 What's up with Jerry? Why Jered? You know, it's all 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.440 with Jerry Jerry Jerry Jy. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.840 I'm like, hey, man, listen, I don't run the team, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.440 but this this right here, what we got going on 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.080 with the quarterback situation and the cap restraint that we 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.680 have going on because of it, It's something that I 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.080 don't I don't believe that I've seen since I like 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.519 being able to understand the cap like I do now 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.200 and the opportunities for guys to get paid and then 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.600 what happens when you bump it down the road and franchise, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.200 Like I haven't had the opportunity to see it this way. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:07.720 This is a very unique. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.320 Situation because the situation with Dak's contract to me is 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.680 one of we watched Russell Wilson do it to where 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.280 he's getting paid thirty nine by Denver and then playing 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.960 on a million dollar deal up in Pittsburgh. And if 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.240 Dak Prescott, they if they don't do anything, he's sixty million, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.639 and then even when he's not here next year, he's 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.720 still on your cap for fifty plus. Yeah, which is like, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.360 I've never seen you be in a situation to where 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.320 we still waiting. We assumed that he was gonna get 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.440 paid already, so you can give yourself some cap relief 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.480 and then you know, go get some players so you 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.320 can be all in and it hasn't happened. I think 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.520 this is a very very unique situation. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.480 My response to people, I don't know, I don't know, 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.080 I don't know. I hear one thing all in from 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.320 the owner, but at the end of the day, we 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.360 all know it's action that matter. So it's like I 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.080 hear the team in motion, we're gonna do this looking 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.320 at that, and then the actions don't match the motion. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.680 So at some point in time, I can just all 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.680 the old line parcels is there. All I can go 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.400 by is what I see, and right now and not 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.640 seeing movement, I'm seeing a situation with the quarterback because 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.719 you just talked about signing him. So you're just kind 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.200 of sitting here right now, and at this point in time, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.480 I'm just kind of waiting on the draft to. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:33.400 See what needs get filled and where they go. 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.880 Because if you're not spending any money, then I'm thinking 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.880 you're gonna go to the draft address whatever needs you 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.480 want to in the draft, and then after that hack. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.560 But that's when you kind of go and say, all right, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.400 who else is on the market and where do we 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.840 sign them, because now their prices are going to go 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.040 down because people. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.599 Are drafted folks. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.880 At that point, That's the only thing I can think 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.560 of as I'm seeing it play out right now. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.000 I'm kind of surprised that you didn't bring up time 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.080 proof and consistency here, because time proof and consistency shows 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.839 what we have done historically, at least since twenty ten 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.800 after Brandon Carr on the free agent market. First day, 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.880 second day, first week, second week has been has been 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.479 about this. It's not this is not abnormal. The only 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.960 abnormal part about it is the quarterback situation. But we 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.279 don't usually make big time moves in the first couple 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.960 of weeks. Are we do lean on the draft, the 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.400 Tyren Smith's, the Dais Briance, the Zekiel Was. We lean 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.960 on on those opportunities to get our big time players 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.160 and then we keep them here. But the last time, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.479 I mean we paid fifty for Brandon Carr, I think 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.360 we got great. Party was another guy where you say, okay, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.440 well he was supposed to be come uh, come here 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.440 and be a difference makerp But outside of that, it's 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.880 stopping yeah, few and far in between, it's failure to lunch. Yeah, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.400 this is this is normal failure to lunch every year. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.880 And we talked about a little bit last week about 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.640 how coming into free agency is the dumb money immediately 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.400 from the teams that have the salary cap and they're 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.960 gonna make moves and and for me, we threw those 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.960 names out there, all these guys that have now been 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.360 signed by other teams. Would that have satisfied you or 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.680 would you it wouldn't have. I think you'd still be 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.200 in a situation where you're asking the same questions on 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.279 the offensive line. You're still trying to find that continuity. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.239 You still want to know is Tyler Smith the guy 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.640 that you're going to move out to left tackle? Those 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.480 questions have started too matriculately. He's starting to answer those 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.760 questions now. I think the only thing that you have 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.080 is the draft. Like you said, those seven picks are 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.720 the compensatory picks that they have. Now it makes you 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.520 feel a little bit better about what they're going to 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.000 do in the draft because Will McLay has had plenty success. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.800 The thing to me, I'm with you, what are we 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.440 doing in Dak's contract and how does that correlate to 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.640 getting guys sign like Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons because truthfully, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:52.520 I think what he answered to me, Ceedee Lamb answered 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.480 the question last season that he is a number one 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.480 correct wide receiver. So let's take that off the board. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.280 You're gonna have to pay him twenty million dollars a year. Okay, 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:05.080 that's right, that's fair. Even though Micah is locked and 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.080 loaded as far as where he is in his draft 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.600 pick and what they're paying him, you still have to 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.320 start the conversation. Oh and by the way, you can't 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.640 do that unless you re sign or restructure Dak all 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:18.240 of those things. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:18.640 Right now. 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.400 I don't think you take the glass off of the 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.040 button and hit the panic buttons just yet because you 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.120 still have time to get those things done. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:25.560 Now. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.960 To me, having Mike McCarthy coach under one year deal, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.640 like that's the biggest head scratcher to me for the organization, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.960 Like what are we doing here because essentially you're tying 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.920 this guy's hands and feet together and tell him go 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.880 out here and coach this team that basically you don't 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.400 have any power to these millionaire athletes. So that's look 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.880 as we go along, and the things that are are 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.880 that boggles the mind are plenty, but I think when 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.760 it comes down to the contracts right now, we have 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:55.800 plenty of time. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:56.600 To figure that out. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.040 And there isn't one guy that's out there right now 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.600 that I say, Okay, yeah, you got to make a 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.400 trade right now for that guy. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.320 There's still plenty of me they off. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.880 The market already, they were out there, but that's agree 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.480 we missed them. Unfortunately. In my opinion, I think, who 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.200 tell me who was that guy to you? Like if 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.280 you if you signed that guy, I feel one of 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.360 those two running backs out of say Corn and Dereck Henry, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.600 I mean you said one, you said, mikeem crub is 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.480 on a one year deal. So even if you don't 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.440 believe he's gonna run the ball, somebody's gonna come in 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.160 here and run the ball like they're gonna They're gonna 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.760 find out a way to get that done. And I 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.120 think I believe that if you had one of those 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.280 guys on your squad, that Mike McCarthy would have found 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.080 a way to run the ball more than fifteen sixteen 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.040 times a game. But I think when you look at 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.920 our running back room right here right now and you say, okay, 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.160 we ain't got a linebacker. We're gonna try to figure 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.520 out how to show that up. Outside of defensive tackle 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.120 and running back, the biggest impact players were there on 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.920 the running back market. That's your time proof and consistency 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.320 right there, because he hadn't shown you that he's gonna 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.520 run the ball. And if you had Derrick Henry here, 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.360 he wouldn't have carried the ball for twenty seven twenty 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.400 seven times, because that's just not the mo. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:03.120 O of the team. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.640 But Tony Pollard was at the beginning of the season 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.439 was averaging fifteen to eighteen carries a game. Okay, I 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.160 think that's a fair number to give sat Kwon Barkley 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920 or somebody eighteen carries a game, and then especially if 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.200 they're being more productive than what TP was being, then 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.320 you're gonna probably get more than eighteen because you'll be 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.120 in the situation where you're trying to milk the clock 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.120 and run it out versus what we were doing last season. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.920 That's the scariest room to me, back room, Yeah, that's 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.480 the SCARIESTO. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.840 No, I'll disagree with you, Okay. To me, your scariest 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.640 room is the defensive line, because what have we seen 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.080 for three years you want to beat the Cowboys, go 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.719 run the ball on You want to look at the 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.959 playoff losses. You've lost the teams who decided to run 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.240 the football on you. And Christian Wilkins was available went 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.080 to the Raiders. Chris Jones never got to the market, 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.080 Leonard Williams was available, Seattle resigned it. And so Hankins 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.200 is now in Seattle with eight and dirty. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:03.360 He's gone, Yes, shoulder surger for somebody to camp. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.319 So you got him with the shoulder, so you're not 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.640 left with this guy who you know, I don't know 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.960 who got who got thin and now they're trying to 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.160 get him, get him beefed up again. So that's a 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.920 Neville Gallimore. Say whatever you want, but he was depth piece. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.480 He's gone. So I'm sitting here saying, Okay, there's Osa Diggizua, who, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.959 by Mike Zimmer standards of his defensive lineman, is a 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:28.760 smaller guy. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.480 And you got your first round pick last year. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.920 Who who by all accounts did not live up to 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.679 being a first round pick, now has shoulder surgery and 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.040 you're wondering is he going to get weight back on? 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.400 This to me is not just glaring. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.880 This This is how you get to be eight and 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.600 nine because you've not only not fixed your problem, your 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.719 problem has gotten worse. And I see these drafts and 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.720 they talk about offensive tackle, Like, does anybody look at 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.000 what the Cowboys are as a football team right now? 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.720 Because you're talking about Saquon Barkley. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.440 He's in the division now, you know what you're about 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.200 to get in Philadelphia between Saquon. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.240 And Bush Tush Bush. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.400 I mean, they're running the dan Quinn is now the 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:12.560 head coach in Washington. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.840 You know exactly. He already knows what the ills is going. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.199 Right, He's running the buck. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:18.800 They are running right at you here. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.600 And the Giants, I don't know how they fill te 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.440 Quad's roll, but it's pretty clear. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.800 If your day ball run at the Cowboys. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.160 I mean, you make a valid point and I'm gonna 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.200 stay stay right there in that defensive line room. And 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.400 that's why I was talking about guys like Chauncey Golston 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.640 and the way that we used him as a twinter 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.280 last year and a guy that still is a part 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.360 of that young group that you want to continue to 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.240 develop and Zimmer may have a plan for him, and 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.280 you still have opportunity throughout OTA's and training camp to 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.240 bring other defensive linemen in. It's just the fact that 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760 there hadn't been any movement there that I think you're 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.640 starting to panic and starting to say to yourself, what 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.160 the hell is going on? Mazzie Smith. We're gonna say 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.640 it again. He has to have the biggest jump from 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.160 year one. The year he can't because he's gonna be 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.160 out to the training camp. But he had he had 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.760 an opportunity to do like you're again and Fanny, he can't. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.280 This is a guy that cannot afford. This happened already. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.000 He lost weight last year. So the gold this year 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.120 would be to do everything you can to put on 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.280 some weight, which it may help him if be having surgery, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.200 because he won't be able to be as mobile as 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.839 as he was. But then it's still the technique because 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.000 what we saw from him was just trying to use 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.280 straight power when he first got in there minus the technique, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.959 and it wasn't working for him, and then he lost weight. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.120 So when you get a guy like Zimber to come in, 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.480 he wants to have his hands on a guy like that. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.120 Hey man, first round I pick last year. We need 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.839 to figure out how we can make you better than 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.679 you were in the previous year. You don't have the 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:56.040 opportunity now outside of getting mental reps and watching. 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.720 And mental reps. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.120 No, no, well no, not when you were second year 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.000 player a Tyron Smith. Ye, mental rep Dware, Those are 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.280 mental rep type of guys. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.520 Mosie Smell say, you know second year guys. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.000 Just I don't think any anybody could just do that 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.600 in the second year of just sit there on the 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.800 sideline and then and have to watch and and get 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:12.959 better than you were last year. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.840 Considering how he went for him last year. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.400 And I don't I don't know this supposedly not having 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.320 played this kind of level as a defensive lineman coming 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.120 off shoulder surgery. When you do put him out there, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.480 what kind of what kind of reps and what kind 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:30.920 of practice can he get out there so you don't 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.760 hurt him? And by the way, the other Michigan player 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.280 they took last year, tight end Luke Schoomaker as shoulder 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.320 surgery too, And what did we talked about with him? Hey, 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.079 got to be a better blocker. So how are these 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.640 two guys gonna get up here? 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.480 Get the camp? Have to got something hard man, that's 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.400 the game. And that's the game. What did Jim Harbaugh 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.599 send the Cowboys? 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.760 He called him and told him, I'll take care of y'all. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.000 I got you. But those those two players were really 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.400 good in college. You know, they were really ill? 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.040 Was Glory fans? Fast in the NFL? 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.200 Who you telling I've seen him many times. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:14.000 I've seen many times. Just don't look the same, just 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.360 in field. Unbelievable man. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.440 So so man, that so what when you talk about 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.320 that D line? So now we got my man, it's 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.840 gonna come back here. Uh, we don't know how much 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.840 way these games. He's got the shoulder issue. And what 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.479 do we know about Mike Zimmer. Mike Zimmer likes Biggins 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:35.239 up front. The Cowboys under Dan Quinn didn't have Biggins. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:41.520 So can we say, all right, Sam Williams, we're. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.240 Just gonna move off to go to defense. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.360 Inside, I'm just saying a guy like this, come on, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:47.760 let's let's have this conversation. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.400 Well, okay, go ahead, go ahead, because you asked for 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:51.880 this one. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.560 Well, I mean I think that we're looking at this 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.920 that the cupboard has half full, all right, and we're 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.920 saying that a guy like Sam Williams and his se 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.720 in his now his third year can't be impactful on 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.120 this defensive line under Zimmer. I mean, obviously we need 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.840 more weapons, and those more weapons is in the tune 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.480 of how many more bodies that we need? Two three 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.240 more guys in rotation. Well, you mean you talking about 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.720 Sam Wims possibly bumping in and play on the interior 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.520 defensive line. He already has. I mean you saw him, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.080 You saw him being used like that under dan Quinn, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.040 and I think that our issue with dan Quinn, because 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.200 I love DQ, we still haven't been able to stop 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.600 the run. I don't think Sam putting Sam Williams in there, 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.000 especially when you know Zimmer likes. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:34.360 A bigger guy. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.880 I don't think that's that's what we're That's not what 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.080 I'm looking for. I'm looking for some big old six 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.480 a double team whole point. Just clog it up and 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.960 make like I'm looking for those type of Sam Williams 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.520 as good as an athlete is, blocking punts, doing all 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.120 that stuff. I'm just talking about straight up size in 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.720 the middle of the defense. I don't I don't see 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.800 him being able to hold up in that position when 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.920 you play a team like Philly, who's gonna get in 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.000 there try to maul you or any of these teams 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.440 in the league that focus on running the football, and 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.360 I get it. We're having a conversation between the one 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.240 tech three tech. Yeah, the big guys. I'm looking at 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.400 a holistic defensive line. Okay, because I don't think that's 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.000 been a huge issue. I don't think that the edges 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.560 have been that big of an issue for us. I 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.280 think it's it's usually been that one and three technique 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:23.640 that worries me. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.480 That's what I'm looking for, and then just trying to 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.600 reconcile it with the fact that you've got to you're 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.280 changing defensive coordinators, and your defensive coordinators bringing up the beef. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.600 Kevin Williams, Lynn Belle, Joseph. These are not guys that 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:44.280 the Cowboys have had here under Dan Quinn, and Joseph's available. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.000 Not saying they should sign it, but that kind of 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.840 guy is available. So do they wait till after the 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.920 draft and hope that Okay, hey man, now you're at 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:51.800 the dollar Tree price. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.240 Let's go ahead and jump on it and get you one. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.960 Because that has been a strategy for a lot of 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.000 teams and players who don't get god in free agencies 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.560 like Okay, well guess what four teams field needs. We 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.600 kind of were talking to them before. I guess I 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.760 better go over here. And that's a good strategy in 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.159 terms of signing guys at low prices. But that's that 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.400 to me, that's concerning heck as much as people. You 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.480 could line up an offensive line tomorrow. It may not 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.200 be optimal, but you could line it up right now. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:31.080 You got Osazi with the shoulder, yes, and. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.679 It's tough. I look interior defense lin like you know that. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.120 But who's out there though, that's also a thing. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.480 But that now, that to. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.439 Me is where I look at the draft. When I 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.480 see these drafts and offensive tackle that I see there, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.680 I just shake my head, like, no, no, you. 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:50.520 Take another shot. Man. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.160 You just took a shot last year going to get 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.760 you an interior guy and it didn't work out. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.359 Do you you say we're going to back to back years? 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:56.720 Ye? 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:03.080 Yes, yes, I'm so nervous to throw the dice again. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.400 At that point, I got i PTSD right. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.640 Now, Okay, I've got I've got I've got I got 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.000 a thought about that. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.159 And you never want to draft the offensive lineman for 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.400 like this been this is five years agoing right now. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.120 Every time I bring up office lineman. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.240 You okay, I got straight, I got. 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:27.240 I got a strategy.

He was just hitting the pig had 0:21:58.760 --> 0:21:59.520 two hooks. 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.480 Okay, So, by the way, players lines about to you 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.880 by Tostitos ain't even Craig Heck Maharirri soun new Scrutch. 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.640 Here's my my first round strategy for the Copito Wars. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.960 Offensive tackle out because I'm putting I'm putting Tyler Smith 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:14.560 at the left tackle. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.240 Okay, that's the first thing I'm gonna do. 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.679 Will McLay told me last year we drafted to be 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:20.760 our left tackle, So I'm gonna throw him out there. 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:24.359 I'm going toward the defensive line. That's a problem. You 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:25.960 win in the trenches. You've been put out of the 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.520 playoffs the last three years. You being in the trenches 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.680 has been a problem. Vick Fanasy will put the blueprint 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:31.880 out there. Ain't fixing the blueprint. 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:32.160 Yeah. 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:33.520 So Texas has. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.680 Two big boys, Oh absolutely, Byron Murphy one of them, 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.480 and then the defensive player of the year. Uh, trynte sweat. 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.240 Give me one of those two guys, and I am 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:49.080 hoping they go. God got for these quarterbacks in the 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:50.840 first ten picks. 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.720 Are they projected to be there? Byron Murphy probably won't 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.560 be there? Said, we hoping, this is hoping. 0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:58.960 This is your strategy. 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.280 You're gonna give us, you fin give us a dream, 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.000 some dream picks who rejected to be there where we 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:05.160 then we. 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.760 Might we never know? You know, you never don't know? 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:20.119 As that's possible. Yes, that's the draft right. 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.760 There are dumb teams out here, right, So that's why 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.080 I talk about the quarterbacks. All of a sudden, somebody 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:29.280 won't get desperate up in here and you start reaching 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.640 for these. Dude, somebody gonna get up. You're hoping somebody 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.680 get excited about bon Nicks. Go ahead, jump up, get 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:36.399 a bon Nicks up in here, Jump up, get a 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:37.439 Pinix sit up here. 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.720 See five six quarterbacks, And that means guys like this 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:40.560 can can fall. 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:41.320 McCarthy. 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.040 Oh, McCarthy's gonna be a top ten pick. 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:53.000 Better go ahead, Yeah yeah, not a shot. So that's 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.000 where I'm looking at. One of these two guys. 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:55.840 Defensive line. 0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:59.400 Defensive line. I need, I need, I need my coordinator 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.200 to have a bit getting that pear. So there, round one, 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.040 round two, I'm going to get the center. You need 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:10.280 somebody to snap the ball. There's an opportunity. Big kid 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:15.040 from West Virginia, Frasier, bigger than Beaddish, a guy who's 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.200 got rave reviews in terms of the kind of character 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:21.880 and player that he wasn't. So I get I address 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:27.480 two needs, but also two important phases of football. 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:29.720 We're trying to win in the trenches. You've got a 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:30.800 problem in the trenches. 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.000 And when I think about the Cowboys the last two 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.720 years being put out of the playoffs, they have lost 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:39.320 on the offensive and defensive lines in those games. 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:42.560 In my opinion, address those in rounds one and two. 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.240 There you go. I'm not opposed to it. I'm not 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:45.920 opposed to it. 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.280 And I think that with Tyler Smith moving out to 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.520 left tackle, that you can then focus on the interior. 0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:58.040 So allegedly this is this is my this is strategy. 0:24:59.440 --> 0:24:59.879 He's moving on. 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.320 We're not sure we'll see We don't know, yes, but 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.520 that that would make sense, Yes, it would. All right, 0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.280 that's where we get in trouble. That's where we get 0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.000 in trouble. But I love what you're thinking is as 0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:15.240 far as Sweat, Sweat is a mammoth of a young man, 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.320 I think Murray Murphy won't be there. I mean, he's 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.000 just obviously the way that he plays, there's gonna be 0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:23.800 some team salivating to get a guy like that. And 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:25.920 he's really not as big a guy as people think. 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.600 He just plays really big. As far as stature, UH 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.159 is concerned. Sweat, on the other hand, is yeah, he 0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.320 is bluebell eater right there. That's a guy that you 0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:36.920 you possibly can plug and play. He's a Day one 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.199 guy right off the bush can play. I've always I've 0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.960 always everyone's been pinpointing the center from Oregon Powers has 0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.760 two last names. But he's he's a really guy, another 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.720 one of those guys that you say plug and play. 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.480 He's a Day one kind of guy. So look, you 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:53.560 need guys like that right away. You don't need a 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.119 guy that to know development in this situation because you 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:57.840 brought Mazie in and I think the first thing you 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.760 saw was oh crap, he needs to develop a little 0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:03.280 bit more, and that's why you bring in Hanking. So look, 0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:07.000 I am I am adamant about trying to shore up 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.959 the interior. I don't know what everybody's thinking as far 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.600 as wide receiver is concerned, because you know, look, that 0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.000 may be something that you can cherry pick later in 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:17.399 the draft, but we're gonna have to find out about 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:17.960 that as well. 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:25.200 Yeah, this is the toughest one. I understand the center thing. 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.119 I'm a defensive player, so I do see that our 0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:34.160 back or front seven is linebacker and interior defensive line. 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:35.120 I don't know what linebackers. 0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:36.680 I was like, I didn't get into all that, but 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.040 I know we have an issue at linebacker, the same 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.159 injury issue that we have currently with Mazie Smith not 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.760 being able to be there until training camp. Right now 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.399 we're looking at We've got Perkins and Overshun is a 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.480 guy who we expect to really make an impact. Well 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.080 when is he going to be ready to play? So 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.520 what is our depth right now? One our starters? But 0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.760 then what is our depth at linebacker? Buddy Johnson and 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.000 Mark he spelled right, So so I mean we have 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.359 we have a lot of different places where we have 0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:10.359 issues at so I have a hard time going center 0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:14.040 over defense in that case, is I'm saying, Okay, that's 0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:14.960 gonna be making sixty. 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:16.320 We got CD Lamb. 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:18.200 I don't know what they're gonna do a running back, 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:19.800 but I think we're gonna figure out a way to 0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:21.960 get some stuff done on offense because I think we 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:23.000 still have the talent. 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:23.119 To do that. 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.840 I think we are lacking the talent on defense to 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:28.560 do what we need to do in order to come 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.480 up big in those in those type of games. I 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.560 think we just we are missing the talent and the 0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:35.760 availability of certain guys to be able to say, if 0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:37.760 all those fails, we're gonna go out there and get 0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:38.399 a stop for you. 0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:42.680 When you were in elementary schools a youngster, when you'll 0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.760 remember the name Chrispy and you will remember the name 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.120 and they let Mark Stepanowsky go. It was on Super 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.320 Bowl teams and the Cowboys, and eventually they. 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.520 Were playing a guy named Clay Shreiver. Clay was not 0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:56.359 a good center. 0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.960 He was not Step, not Step. 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.840 He wasn't Frank Cornish, he wasn't John Geesick any of 0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:04.920 the other guys who filled it, and it became a 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:09.639 problem for Troy and you just simply cannot try to 0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:14.000 get away at that position. You do need a next 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.080 level guy. And I think about what Kansas City has 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.600 create Humphrey. I think about what the Eagles have had 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:24.120 with Jason Kelsey. I think about when Mark Stepanovsky was here, 0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:26.600 or better yet, a guy that your uncle Joe played with. 0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:28.919 Mike Webster. 0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.360 You get in, you get yourself a top notch player there. 0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.800 It makes everyone better. Travis Frederick was sensation. 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.400 I go back to that draft. I raised my hand. 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:41.720 I criticized the pick because I thought. 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.200 The Cowboys should have taken a D lineman in the 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:44.160 first round. They didn't. 0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:48.080 They traded with Minnesota, they went down, and then they 0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.880 took Travis Frederick, who most people thought was a second 0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:54.240 round pick. They had done their research and thought that 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.120 he was a plug and play guy. He wasn't all 0:28:56.200 --> 0:29:00.240 American at Wisconsin, and they were one hundred went and 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:01.800 got five years out him because they got him in 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.240 the first round. And I remember all draft day, Tony 0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:08.160 had told Jerry Jones, thank you for the extra second. 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.800 They were one hundred percent right about it, and I 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.520 just feel like they need to address it, because if 0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:16.360 you've got a good one, then you're all good. 0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:17.360 You don't have to worry about it. 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:19.960 You got one with question marks, you gotta slide some 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.680 help over people trying to bull rush the middle. It's 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:27.959 it's just when you're compromised, you just see it. If 0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:32.000 you're not compromised, then you're good. And I think Philadelphia 0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:36.080 is gonna have a real tough year trying to replace 0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.560 the greatness of Jason Kelsey and what he did. So 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.920 that's my thing, Danny, and I don't want to wait 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:45.480 past You definitely can't. If you better do it no 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:49.640 later than round three. You just cannot try to skate 0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:50.640 by that position. 0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:51.560 That's just me. 0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.200 I just think it's too valuable. 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.400 I think maybe I gotta reached the sea bias or something. 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.480 I just remember what Green Bay did to it was 0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:00.600 running all over the place, and all the other teams 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.520 that beat us and went out there in offenses. 0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:03.800 Not reached to see bias. It happened. 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:10.000 But these are defensive issues that we've had. 0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.080 But the new Dogs playing the dresses at round one, 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:17.400 the new Dog playing dressed baby linebackers? 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:19.680 Okay, what like? 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:20.160 What like? 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:20.280 What? 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:21.400 What addresses that? 0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.840 You got to even with Overstrow coming back, you're gonna 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.280 have a guy in his first year fully playing the game. 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.960 We got we got what we got more rounds? Yeah, 0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:33.520 we got we got round for everybody. 0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.560 So now now I'll say this, that kid from Texas 0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:40.560 A and m Cooper, well, he can play, he can play. 0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:41.160 He's exciting. 0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:50.160 But I just, I just I cannot run this defense 0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:55.240 for Zimmer without the beef. And so I'm looking for 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.600 beef all over the place and I. 0:30:58.960 --> 0:30:59.600 Gotta get a sit. 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.840 I don't know why people don't talk about the center 0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.479 enough here now you can get one. 0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:05.120 I wouldn't. 0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:07.040 I would not take a heck, I would not take 0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:09.800 a center in the first wouldn't talk to somebody who 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.920 specializes in draft from numbers of years. I'm very connected, 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.360 and they just said, you know your centers you can 0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:19.480 get later, he said with this class, he says, you know, 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:21.800 set round two three they could get they can get someone. 0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:23.440 But he said, you know, round two, you should be 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.760 able to get one of the one of the top. 0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.000 Top four unless it comes down to a guy that 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:30.320 you absolutely have done your due diligence on and you 0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.400 know that he is a plug and play guy. Now, 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.280 I'm look, you did it with you, you like you 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:38.280 just said, hey man, you were upset about the Travis 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:41.800 Frederick draft and it worked out for the Cowboys either way, 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:45.440 it goes you have some gaping holes, and I'm I'm look, defensively, 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.640 you've got to find a way, and i'm you you 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.200 warn me over on your your scenario there. So I'm saying, 0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.400 defensive line, let's address that first. And if you can 0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:57.240 get a guy like the one from West Virginia in 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:01.040 the second round, man, that's payday all day. I think 0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:04.160 everyone would be satisfied there. But still there's still so 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.360 many needs that you have not addressed. 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:08.440 You're right, but I got but right there with that one, 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:11.200 my scenario gives you too plug and play right away, 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.600 which is nothing you got to last year's draft. 0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:16.640 Only plug and play you had was the fridge and kicker. 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:22.160 But what Daddy is saying about the linebacker position, even 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.440 if you do that in the first and second round, 0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:30.240 you still have no depth behind Overshawn who was coming off. Yeah, 0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.920 he's saying he not even considered at this moment, he's 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.960 a starter. They come round three saying he not even 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.320 he not ready to play. Like he is going to 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.600 in his first year. I'm not your last year was 0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:45.440 red shirt year. 0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.960 We heard it coming out in his first year, he's 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.200 gonna be coming out here coming off of a very 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:53.400 serious injury, and we're gonna have to see what it 0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:53.920 is like. 0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:55.840 We have no we have no idea what it is. 0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:59.560 There's there, look, there's small rounds and but yes, has 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.840 it Danny, We're they got a this. 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:04.640 Is a this is a whole bunch of you're trying 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:05.160 to plug in. 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:08.479 It's my issue with plug and play, and that's why 0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.560 the draft is tricky because we thought we had plug 0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:11.360 and play last year. 0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:13.560 We sure did. We thought we had plugg and play 0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.360 last year. I just like to hit people and it didn't. 0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:30.360 You know, I took Louie out, lose weight, slim fans. 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.120 It was. They didn't always work out that way, the 0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.320 plug and play guys. Man man was stressed out. 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:35.840 The had off. 0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:38.480 They had it off here, you know, after they've had 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.920 a lot of success. They had it off here. It 0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.960 was really off. I just would suggest not going to 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.520 ann Arbor anytime soon.

And this is 0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:35.600 what I see when I'm down. You're driving down the 0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:36.160 street in Houston. 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:38.160 You see dudes on the side of you know, they 0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:39.759 in the media and on they on their horses like 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:41.759 that's that I grew up seeing that wasn't not a 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:42.359 horse rider. 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.800 But my child teaches people how to ride. Yeah, she 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.080 waited at a horse horse camp. And the other words. 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:51.400 Something know everything. It's not a coature over there. Everybody 0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:51.960 do everything. 0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:55.280 But the radio has been one of the biggest events 0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:57.239 of never rode a horse. 0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:57.760 In my life. 0:37:58.280 --> 0:37:59.239 I'm with you. 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.520 I'm trying to keep that street lot, trying to kill myself, 0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:04.480 but my children do it and that's their thing. But 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:07.120 black folks been black choks been doing horses forever. That's 0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:09.279 the name Cowboy. Go look that up where it came from. 0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:11.440 First one, Yes, sir, yes, sir. 0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:17.440 All right, the NFL, the NFL has decided to change 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.880 the kickoff rules, So XFL coming to the NFL. 0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:27.520 Danny McCray are special teams Guru, the Cowboys. 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.520 Your thoughts on this and how does bones fossil make 0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:31.680 it work for the Cowboys? 0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:32.319 Uh? 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.279 Listen, They've been since I played in twenty ten, and 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:38.640 probably prior to that, they've been trying to find a 0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:42.480 way to make the kickoff a safer play. Because when 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.640 I got here in twenty ten, even in college, it 0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.960 was the wedge, right, they had guys who would just 0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:50.120 sprint all the way from the thirty to the guys 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:53.239 that were in the wedge, triple team, double team, put 0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:55.640 your helmet in the middle, and dudes. 0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:58.320 Was getting concussed all over the place. 0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:00.800 You had like almost after in the touch back, you 0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.320 see dudes laying on the ground with the limb the touchback, 0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:06.840 got it, You got it, nothing man. And then so 0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:09.239 then they moved it up so then it was more touchbacks, 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:10.800 and then now they're trying to find a way to 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.120 still make it an exciting play. I think what they 0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:15.880 were explaining, was the crowd is waiting for the beginning 0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:18.440 of the game to start, right the Jets fly over 0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:20.920 and all that stuff, everybody cheering, and then you know 0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:23.080 most of the time nine times a touch back, and 0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:24.839 then you know the officers front out there, so they're 0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:25.840 trying to like make it. 0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:26.600 Be a part of the game. 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:29.640 So I do appreciate that because I respect special teams guys, 0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:31.680 and they need to feel like they're a part of 0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:32.040 the game. 0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:33.080 This rule. 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:35.560 I think it's gonna be exciting for the first year. 0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:41.400 I think seeing how specialty and coordinators figure out ways 0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:45.160 to try to I want to say, trick the system, 0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:48.480 but pick guys and make sure the guy like turping. 0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:50.200 If you have one of those dynamic guys, one of 0:39:50.239 --> 0:39:52.399 those guys gets you a forty fifty yard return because 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:54.040 those are game changing plays. I think it's gonna be 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.160 really exciting. I think Bones Fossil is probably up there 0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.080 in the lab or been in the lab ever since 0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.640 he heard about this, and he's been figuring out ways 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.680 to make it look kind of like an offense. It's 0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:07.520 gonna be some picking plays out there, dudes trying to 0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:11.439 get confused, some trickery some fake handoff reversus. It's gonna 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:13.600 be an exciting place. So for the first year, I'm excited. 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.880 I want to see how it looks and see if 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:18.360 the other guys are able to figure it out. But 0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:19.640 I think it's a good move. 0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:22.280 What I'm not gonna do is let this game pass 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.800 me by by being one of those old. 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:29.359 Castes like ah, because I hate everything about everything when 0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.799 there's a rule change, you know, look like you said, Man, 0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:33.600 it came up during the time where you were running 0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:36.520 head first into a wedge. If you wanted to get 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.320 on the field, that's how you did it. And it 0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:41.239 was a tough guy roll for a lot of guys 0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:43.520 that are right now you look at these guys in 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:46.160 their post playing days and say, maybe that was something 0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:48.600 that wasn't good for the game. So the game is 0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:51.000 changing to that degree now you want to make it 0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.680 more interesting and for the teams to score. They just 0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:56.640 did that because, like you said, you're gonna be in 0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.319 a situation where you only got one level to get through. Man, 0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:01.399 you don't have to worry about anything, and a guy 0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:05.600 like like the gu Turpin, it makes his job even 0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:08.080 easier because he didn't have to read a whole lot 0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:11.200 coming through that first level. So look, I think it's 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:13.920 gonna get a lot of guys fired. You mentioned it's 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.520 gonna get some some offensive coordinators up out of there, 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:18.160 and you got guys like C. J. Goodwin who have 0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.840 made their name. You've made your name in the NFL 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:24.920 by playing special team. So look, I think the way 0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.239 that they dumbed it down, I think it took a 0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:29.400 lot of that away, and you had guys like yourself 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:32.360 just saying look, I made the roster based off of 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:35.320 what I did in those situations. So hopefully open this 0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:38.880 up still gives players an opportunity to make a roster 0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:41.239 by being a full time special teams guy. 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:43.120 So you know, you know who's gonna get fired. 0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:48.080 Whichever special teams coordinator has the mindset of a Dan Campbell. 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.560 Right for that guy, I'm gonna just keep on trying 0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:53.560 it right because I know it's gonna work, and I 0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.359 trust my guys enough, and instead of kicking it out 0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:58.040 of the end zone and taking it at the thirty, 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.640 you're gonna keep giving your guys a shot. Somebody's gonna 0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:04.360 have a two touchdown game with another two forty or 0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:06.600 fifty yard returns and you're gonna see that coach get fired. 0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.800 Mark mark my words on that some offense, some special 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:13.120 teams coordinator this season that's coming up, he's gonna get 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:14.360 fired mid season. 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:15.840 I would try to. 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:19.799 Sign Cavante Turping to a contract extension of right now, 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:24.280 right now, because this kid can make plays. I've watched 0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:27.759 him in college extensively, and this is made for him 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:28.720 to get busy. 0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:31.759 Can you imagine Devin Hester with this rule. They're not 0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:34.200 kidding it. Okay, bro, the five yards ain't worth it. 0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:38.640 That's why I'm saying special teams coordinators will get themselves 0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:41.560 get themselves fired by looking at a guy like Turping 0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:43.719 and knowing what he can do and saying, I'm going 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.040 to try to lock him down on the twenty or 0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:48.000 twenty five instead of just kicking. 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:49.960 It out of his zone and taking it on the thirty. 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:53.399 Forget the touchdown aspect of it. Okay, that's your hole. 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:57.560 But if a guy like Turpin, you make one guy miss, 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:02.239 not maybe not on but you, he can easily get 0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:04.719 this thing to the forty four, forty five and now 0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:07.439 you're playing with half field. That That's what I'm looking 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.440 for here. Touchdown break that'd be great. But if he 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:12.480 just is able to use his speed and make a 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:16.320 couple guys miss Now, now you're really putting your football 0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:18.600 team in some business here at the said the forty 0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.040 forty five, and it's a lot. He's pick up a 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:22.839 couple first downs and then you'll kick her out here. 0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:24.919 I mean, you think about that the way you could 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:27.279 switch this thing. If turping can get you to a 0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:29.680 forty forty five, get a couple first downs, and you send. 0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:32.640 That Brandon Arbor. Sure it's a right, you did it 0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:36.240 all day and you and I will fire my coordinator. Okay, 0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:38.440 but let's forget that week. 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:41.799 Won I'm like, bro, if you did that, he diet 0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:44.080 that two times in the game where you're able to head, 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.280 he hits it up here for some really good yardists, 0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:47.440 couple first downs you send out. 0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:48.600 That's six points. 0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:49.480 That's that touchdown. 0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:52.359 If you could almost give yourself a touchdown each week, 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:55.040 because that team, the team you're opposing, wants to be 0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:55.520 that dumb. 0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:57.680 And you can tell you people like saying Williams, don't 0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:58.400 make it. Don't make a. 0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:03.680 Boy. You can be a business here. 0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:07.239 So John Fossil should be in the lab having a 0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:09.840 really good time about what the possibilities could be. So 0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:12.600 I'd be giving Kant Turpin an extension because I think 0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:13.960 this rule is made for him. 0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:16.080 You can hand it out extension. We ain't got no more. 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:19.839 So we just talked all that about you handed out 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.560 an extension to Comante Turping. We ain't even see that. 0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:25.759 We got four men from that give it the time. 0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:28.239 That's the guy, that's the guy. 0:44:28.320 --> 0:44:28.360 You. 0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:32.160 Hey, man, if you gotta find some points somewhere, I 0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:38.320 know block can't run, you go, depending on depending on 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:40.239 the do with shows the surgery there to d live. 0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:43.919 So what you guys think about the hip hip drop 0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:44.960 before we go for get? 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:48.359 Let me tell you so I understand what injury they're 0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:50.279 trying to stop, but if you want to just make 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:52.360 the game impossible for the defender to be able to 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:55.120 make a play, especially in the situation. So I was like, well, 0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.839 you I like to tackle guys from the front. Whatever, 0:44:57.880 --> 0:45:00.600 you chase him down, yeah, do that? Just run them 0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:03.400 into the end zone. My job is on the line, like, 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.560 I'm here to make sure that I do all that 0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:07.279 I can for my team to make sure we win. 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.960 And now it's just so many different thoughts that you 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:11.640 have to have in your head when you're trying to 0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:12.520 tackle a guy. 0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:14.840 And it's going to cast somebody. Some games like that 0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:17.080 is going to cast somebody a game. 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.600 A fourth down stop and the hip drop and he 0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.200 was shorter of the first down market and I was 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:24.440 a fifteen yard and theyre going to win the game. 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:25.400 Scoring is going up. 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:27.400 It's this year difficult. 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:30.160 Scoring's going up this year because you keep legislating the 0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:33.200 game to make it very hard for the defensive players. 0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:35.360 So that's just going to increase scoring. Because you know, 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:39.240 you can't touch this guy. You breeze the quarterback's helmet, 0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:42.080 so that's a flag. Now, Oh I tackled him here wrong, 0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:45.919 And this particular referee says you touched him on the hip. 0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:48.600 I mean, you're just going to keep making it harder. 0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:52.279 Heck, and look, man, I think initially when I saw 0:45:52.440 --> 0:45:54.920 the horse collars, first time I saw it, I said, man, 0:45:54.960 --> 0:45:57.600 that's gonna get some people hurt. First time I saw it, Like, 0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:01.680 you can't tackle like that, and and I was happy 0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:04.360 that they took that out and so the guys couldn't 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:07.719 use it anymore. Hip drop is one of those things 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:10.399 that I've seen, like Aiden Hutchinson in class. Example, when 0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:13.480 we played Detroit last year, Aiden Hutchinson tackled Dak and 0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:16.279 he you saw him, he dropped down. I was like, man, 0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:18.319 that's dude, come on now, you know what you're doing. 0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:20.040 I'm not saying that he's trying to hurt Dak, but 0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.160 I'm just like, you can't tackle guys like that. And 0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:26.080 I and I understand even from the Tony Pollard, Dude, 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.279 you saw the tackle that broke his leg. You know 0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:31.160 what they're trying to take out in that aspect of 0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:35.040 guys getting hurt. But I just it begs the question 0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:37.080 of what do you want defenders to do? 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:38.480 How do you get back down? 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:39.480 Though get fired? 0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:43.839 I can't can't go to knee, can't go to get 0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:45.279 the hill, can't go But you know. 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:46.840 The you know the sack that I'm talking about, you 0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:48.680 know the sac that I'm talking about. And I'm saying, 0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:50.360 you're dragging him down and you're trying. I mean, but 0:46:50.440 --> 0:46:53.480 you you bring all of your body weight down behind 0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:56.200 this legs. It's just a it's a dangerous play. And again, 0:46:56.840 --> 0:46:59.480 I don't know how if you're Aiden Hutchinson that you 0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:02.600 you tackle back and he's big, he's strong, you're trying 0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:06.480 to get him down, trying to move. It's not like 0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.120 you're hitting the stationary target trying to get away from you. 0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:13.360 It's coming. We're on our weight, We're definitely on our 0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:13.840 way to it. 0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.320 Till the offensive guy just fall down there, just to 0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:18.640 just fall down. If that's the case, don't get don't 0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.520 try to get no extra yards when you fit. 0:47:20.719 --> 0:47:23.600 If you getting chased down from behind, right, somebody, somebody 0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:25.799 wrap you up to try to bring you down, it's 0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:27.600 your responsibility to go ahead. 0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:28.400 Fall and they don't have to pull you. 0:47:28.480 --> 0:47:30.320 Biggest thing I hate too is on you see a 0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:32.560 guy on the screen, he catches the screen as soon 0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.920 as he turns around. The defender is in his legs 0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:37.320 because he has nowhere else to go. He has nowhere 0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:40.120 else to go. He can't, he can't anywhere next day. 0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:42.879 You know, if you've seen guys get blasted and they call. 0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:45.759 Him dirty and he a dirty player, to call him 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:48.360 out he dirty, what is he supposed to do in 0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:50.919 that situation, because if he hits him, you know, look, 0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:53.799 it's under said roughness fifteen yards either way it goes. 0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:56.480 Or do you break a guy's leg and he's out 0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:59.160 for the rest of the season. It's crazy, man, I 0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:03.279 just thought that all these changes that quick. Yeah, all 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:05.200 on defense though, hold on, it's tough. 0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:07.919 It's tough, all right. Uh, let's players lands for this week. 0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:12.000 Yeah, we'll come back next month, right next month, hopefully 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:14.080 get Bury Church back in eastern. 0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:16.560 Good Friday coming up, Good Friday coming up east of 0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:19.120 this weekend.
