Speaker 1: Following here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely
Speaker 1: ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 1: Were with Nick Eatman, Brian brought us and bar Garcia
Speaker 1: and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of
Speaker 1: the Break presented by Miller Lite, the only beer of
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Derek is not here with us today
Speaker 1: in today's show, but we got Brian and Nick. How
Speaker 1: are you guys? Doing great? Just got done with the
Speaker 1: draft show. Mock draft should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I know it's probably gon to be hanging out in
Speaker 1: the magazine here sing magazine coming out when those comer. Oh,
Speaker 1: it comes out probably in about two weeks, two to
Speaker 1: three weeks, probably right at the start of April, so
Speaker 1: getting there could sell the cover. And it looks really good,
Speaker 1: good looking good. Just got to get the right side
Speaker 1: a month, well not inside a month, but close to
Speaker 1: a month for this draft coming up too. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: thing happens pretty fast around the corner, around the corner, well, today,
Speaker 1: we're gonna just kind of recap everything that has happened
Speaker 1: since last week in free agency. To start off the show,
Speaker 1: recent news was Tony Polar just signed his franchise tag.
Speaker 1: There he ghost team, so he's guaranteed ten million dollars
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, he gets ten million dollars from
Speaker 1: Dallas Scoutboys. Yeah. It's just kind of funny how sometimes
Speaker 1: these players have not signed it right away. They view
Speaker 1: the franchise tag as a as a bad thing. In
Speaker 1: the running back situation. With Tony Pollard this year, obviously,
Speaker 1: he does not feel it that way. I think this
Speaker 1: is a good thing for the injury. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think you would sign it. I would sign any
Speaker 1: ten million dollars deals. It's guaranteed. Yeah, like we're talking about,
Speaker 1: you know. It's what we're looking at though in free
Speaker 1: agency is a lot of the running backs these teams
Speaker 1: are going to in two weeks time, the Pro days
Speaker 1: are going to stop, and teams are going to start
Speaker 1: getting into their draft rooms and stuff and putting their
Speaker 1: boards together. And what's going to happen is once they
Speaker 1: do that, I think free agency really really slows down.
Speaker 1: And you're also going to get these teams, says, they're
Speaker 1: going to put up these running backs. There's going to
Speaker 1: be about twelve to fifteen names, and they're going to say,
Speaker 1: maybe we don't have to sign a guy, Maybe we
Speaker 1: don't have to. That's why I was kind of thinking
Speaker 1: something about Ezekiel Elliott, the quicker, that he could get
Speaker 1: something signed up and get something firmed up to go
Speaker 1: into the fall. I think would be better because once
Speaker 1: these teams start to look at that board and build it,
Speaker 1: they're going to go, we don't have a need for
Speaker 1: a four million dollar running back. You know, maybe we
Speaker 1: don't have a need for two million dollar running back.
Speaker 1: You know, That's that's the danger that you run into
Speaker 1: when you start to get laid into free agency. Well,
Speaker 1: let's get into these guys and by the end of
Speaker 1: the show, I want I want each one of you
Speaker 1: to tell me how you would rate free agency this
Speaker 1: year for the Cowboys so far in the job that
Speaker 1: they've done this year. Since we're talking about running back,
Speaker 1: let's jump into Ronald Jones that the Cowboys signed him.
Speaker 1: You know, it was funny though, you know how how
Speaker 1: much has happened in the week. They'll let you know
Speaker 1: and I guess we did go one day later than
Speaker 1: normal for the week, but the last show we had,
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott was still on the team. You know. So
Speaker 1: that's just funny how we're expecting it too. We're expecting
Speaker 1: it to happen, but it's just like that seems so
Speaker 1: long ago. Now we've moved so much. Okay, Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: band aid to me insurance policy type guy going into
Speaker 1: the draft. You don't have to reach for a running
Speaker 1: back if you don't want to, because you feel like
Speaker 1: you have the running backs that can that can you know,
Speaker 1: get through a game. But I don't think Ronald Jones
Speaker 1: is going to stop you from taking the running back
Speaker 1: that you want if he's there. Yeah. I think with
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is when he came out of college out
Speaker 1: of USC, it was very similar style with what we
Speaker 1: see with Zeke. A very physical runner. You know, hit
Speaker 1: the hole, get through the whole, you know, run through
Speaker 1: tacklers and stuff. You know, not a whole lot of
Speaker 1: wiggle to his game, but he was a guy that
Speaker 1: always when you handed him to football, he was going forward.
Speaker 1: He was going to make positive yards. You know, band
Speaker 1: aid bridge whatever you want to it never you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are really big in protecting themselves and that's
Speaker 1: something that Will has always done. Here is to like
Speaker 1: next point, you don't have to take a guy because
Speaker 1: we got a guy, or does it prohibit you from
Speaker 1: taking a guy? You know, it's not one of those things. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what the situation when we did
Speaker 1: our mock draft on the Draft show today, when you
Speaker 1: start to talk about the trades they made for the
Speaker 1: corner and then for the wide receiver, well maybe that
Speaker 1: makes you think a little bit differently about those positions
Speaker 1: because those are players that you absolutely are going to
Speaker 1: count on to play. So maybe you don't take the
Speaker 1: wide receiver or maybe you don't take the cornerback. When
Speaker 1: you're looking at that, you know, maybe it takes instead
Speaker 1: of having to be a priority, you've now kind of
Speaker 1: lowered it to like, okay, we could do it a
Speaker 1: little bit later in the draft. So I don't think
Speaker 1: the Ronald Jones signing keeps him from now from drafting
Speaker 1: a running back here. And I'd say this about Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean, when when you have the ball as an
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, you have the ball at your own two
Speaker 1: to three yard line, your goal is to get the
Speaker 1: ball to the five. You're trying to get breathing room.
Speaker 1: You give the ball to a guy and he scores
Speaker 1: a touchdown, that's a different type of back. And if
Speaker 1: you have a ninety eight yard touchdown in his repertoire,
Speaker 1: that's just a different type of player. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: you have a guy that can be a power back,
Speaker 1: like Brian says, but also has the speed to take
Speaker 1: it to the house. I'm not saying he's gonna do
Speaker 1: that all the time, but but anybody that can go
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards, I think it's got something special to him.
Speaker 1: So I think that's intriguing too. Well, we don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the draft just yet. We
Speaker 1: can talk about it and expect it. But looking at
Speaker 1: it right now, looking at what you currently have Tony
Speaker 1: Poler and then this guy, how do you see the
Speaker 1: combination of these two working together as opposed to what
Speaker 1: you had before where we knew it was working in
Speaker 1: a balance with Yeah, I think I think the biggest
Speaker 1: question is because we had an idea when Kelln Moore
Speaker 1: was calling plays, but it took him four years to
Speaker 1: figure out how to use Tony Pollard. Yeah, so maybe
Speaker 1: now with Mike McCarthy, Mike's come out and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in trying to run the football. I
Speaker 1: think he's just kind of just telling you that. I
Speaker 1: think Mike's still going to throw the football here. I
Speaker 1: don't worry about him saying, you know, turning into a
Speaker 1: three yards in cloud of dust offense. I feel like
Speaker 1: he's going to He's going to incorporate. Yes, you the
Speaker 1: ability with Jones, He's Nick's right though. The power of
Speaker 1: the speed, you know that combination. You have the speed,
Speaker 1: the quickness with Pollard, you know, coming off an injury,
Speaker 1: you really don't know, you know. That mean, we've seen
Speaker 1: what happens with guys coming off injuries around here. You know.
Speaker 1: We saw it with a wide receiver, We've seen it
Speaker 1: with a quarterback, We've seen it with others. I mean
Speaker 1: that's the big unknown right now for the Cowboys is
Speaker 1: how are Tony Pollard. You trust that Britt Brown and
Speaker 1: Tony and those guys are gonna work extremely hard and
Speaker 1: get ready to play. But you just really really don't know.
Speaker 1: But the combination is you do have speed, you do
Speaker 1: have quickness, and you do have power and they're draft
Speaker 1: and you know you draft a running back because you
Speaker 1: you're looking at twenty twenty four. Yeah, what does that
Speaker 1: look like? Because Paula is not guaranteed to be here,
Speaker 1: then I wouldn't think Ronald Jones would be as well.
Speaker 1: Malik Davis will see how but but you're drafting a
Speaker 1: running back. For I view if they drafted back, I'll
Speaker 1: view it a lot like ten years ago or so
Speaker 1: with DeMarco Murray. They had Felix Jones here. I think
Speaker 1: they had to start chores. They had established guys here.
Speaker 1: They drafted a guy. You don't have to be great
Speaker 1: right away, but we expect you'd be pretty good here
Speaker 1: before too long. And before we move position. You mentioned
Speaker 1: Rico Dowal. That's another guy that the guy that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys signed yesterday, he would disappeared last year because of
Speaker 1: an injury, and then Malie Davis kind of took advantage
Speaker 1: of that and did what he did. Right now, it
Speaker 1: is expected for him just to be an ie, a
Speaker 1: guy that's out in depth and like, yeah, let's compete
Speaker 1: in Let's remember he was a restricted free agent. They
Speaker 1: could have tendered him. They chose not to tender him,
Speaker 1: which automatically makes you an unrestricted free agent. So you
Speaker 1: know they didn't do that with Terrence deal and all that.
Speaker 1: We get it. I mean he they wanted him back,
Speaker 1: but at the right price, and I think they got
Speaker 1: it all right. Let's move on to another guy that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys acquire via a trade they drafted. They did
Speaker 1: a trade with the Houston Texans gave up two draft
Speaker 1: picks for wide receiver Brandon Cooks. He's a guy that,
Speaker 1: again has he experienced. He's a guy that you get
Speaker 1: ready and bringing here before you head into the draft
Speaker 1: having a bigger need prior to head in there. What
Speaker 1: are you seeing a guy like him as far as
Speaker 1: what kind of experience he brings to the team and
Speaker 1: how he would fit in. This is very patient of
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, a very patient thing that they did because
Speaker 1: they were interested in Cooks last year during the trade
Speaker 1: deadline and offered a third round pick for the opportunity
Speaker 1: to draft him. Houston tried to hold him up for
Speaker 1: a two. Dallas basically said, no, we're not interested in
Speaker 1: doing that. So now you give the five and the six.
Speaker 1: You know the fifth. I believe it's a compensatory pick.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have done a great job of taking these
Speaker 1: compensatory picks and now turning them into players instead of
Speaker 1: using the draft players, They've turned them into legitimate players
Speaker 1: that can help them this year. So I think it's
Speaker 1: a brilliant move on their part. Like say, the patients
Speaker 1: was there, they got Houston to eat part of the
Speaker 1: contract Adam Pacifica the cap guy, and them negotiated an
Speaker 1: extra a year and with a lower salary and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Great job on their part to do that. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have a guy that wants to be here. I
Speaker 1: think a couple of the moves that they made with
Speaker 1: these trades have been really positive because you got no
Speaker 1: new money, you got one money, You got money taken
Speaker 1: away from a guy and who wants to be here.
Speaker 1: And then the corner, you know, you know Gilmore, he
Speaker 1: wants to be here, and no added extra money there.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's a really nice job by them
Speaker 1: of taking using the compensatories and then not having to
Speaker 1: add any more new money to any of these deals.
Speaker 1: These guys want to be here, they want to play,
Speaker 1: they're excited about it, and they're both really good players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they traded next year's pick one of the next
Speaker 1: year's picks for Cooks. But you know, you gotta look
Speaker 1: at it. They're definitely gonna get two compensatory takes back
Speaker 1: with Schultz and mcgovernan. We'll see about Noah Brown. I'd
Speaker 1: probably not, but we'll see. But but what I love
Speaker 1: about Brandon Cooks is I'm not I'm not concerned about
Speaker 1: the guy that gets a thousand yards from Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees. I like the guy that got a
Speaker 1: thousand yards from Davis Mills. That to me shows that
Speaker 1: he is scheme friendly. He can go into different situations.
Speaker 1: I love his attitude. He's not worried about a guy
Speaker 1: being traded disgruntled. He looks at it from a positive
Speaker 1: standpoint on somebody wants me. Somebody wanted me bad enough
Speaker 1: to wait before I got cut. He's he's you know,
Speaker 1: he says Iron, Sharpern's Iron. He's him and Gilmore have
Speaker 1: played together New England, good friends. Yeah, he loves going
Speaker 1: up against treyvon Digs in practice every day. I think
Speaker 1: it's a great move. Like Brian said, very patient. Could
Speaker 1: have done in this last year. Probably needed him last year.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I mean, you got him now, different
Speaker 1: type of receiver too. He's he was shorter than I
Speaker 1: thought he would be. Yeah, I didn't consider him a short,
Speaker 1: short receiver. He is. But if you pli his numbers,
Speaker 1: if you're one of those folks that believe in metrics,
Speaker 1: all the numbers that talk about routes and how they
Speaker 1: run routes and stuff like that, he's very comfortable running
Speaker 1: the routes that potentially Mike McCarthy could ask him to do.
Speaker 1: The inside breaking routes, the slants, the flats, the things,
Speaker 1: like the only thing that he can he can help.
Speaker 1: It's not just throw him a screen and let him run.
Speaker 1: This guy makes plays down the field, the vertical routes
Speaker 1: they call a nine route. He's really comfortable doing that
Speaker 1: because he's got the speed, he's got the ability to
Speaker 1: track the ball. But now you see him as a
Speaker 1: guy who would have a clear role. Absolutely, Yes, see,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. We've got to figure out. We've
Speaker 1: got to figure out what Brian Schottenheimer's offense really really is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what we got to figure out, because let's be honest,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is going to call the plays, but Brian
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer is going to be a very big influence on
Speaker 1: what they do. Brian Schottenheimer, it's going to be the
Speaker 1: guy primarily, it's gonna be coaching, presenting the offense. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy's going to have the playsheet and have that ability
Speaker 1: to call the offense. So we really don't know. We
Speaker 1: can go back and look at where Brian Schottenheimer has
Speaker 1: been before, Jacksonville, Seattle, places like that and trying, but
Speaker 1: until we get out here and start seeing him play games,
Speaker 1: you know, we really don't. You know, it is it?
Speaker 1: You know, we ever likes to use the word on
Speaker 1: West Coast and this that there's versions, there's different versions
Speaker 1: of these offenses, and you know, we don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I think there's things that they want
Speaker 1: to keep for DAK, but I don't know if they
Speaker 1: completely want to keep everything. The big point of disconnect
Speaker 1: seem to be the option routes, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: something that Dak's like, no, no, keep those in. Mike's like,
Speaker 1: I've never really worked with the option. Kellen Moore's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to have the option run. You know. That's
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit of like what was
Speaker 1: going on a little bit of disconnect there between the
Speaker 1: two on what they wanted to do. So until we
Speaker 1: physically see them start playing games, it's really kind of
Speaker 1: an unknown. But Brian Schottenheimer, I think, is going to
Speaker 1: have his thumb print on this offense. Do you feel
Speaker 1: Nick that this is after getting him and knowing that
Speaker 1: you still have Jalen Toilbor that's still developing. He hasn't
Speaker 1: done anything yet, but we're hoping that he can take
Speaker 1: that next step this year. How do you see the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position heading into the track? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they also extended Gallup a little bit longer, so that
Speaker 1: that means that his contracts probably he's not They could
Speaker 1: have got out of it last year. I think if
Speaker 1: they didn't extend it and they extended, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: here CD. I would imagine they're gonna get on a
Speaker 1: deal with him. So I think if they just have options,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Cooks should be here for a
Speaker 1: little bit. We'll see about Jayleen Tilbur. But but if
Speaker 1: there's a receiver that they like, even as high as
Speaker 1: the first round, I'd be surprised about the first round.
Speaker 1: But even if there's somebody that they like, I think
Speaker 1: I think that they've done enough where they're not married
Speaker 1: to anything can still get it. But they could wait
Speaker 1: till day three of the draft and get a receiver
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. That's why, that's what they're doing
Speaker 1: in free agency is just not putting themselves in a
Speaker 1: box to go get a receiver or any position really
Speaker 1: if they have to. Definitely feels like you're in a
Speaker 1: better position right now than you were last year with
Speaker 1: all the un knowns. Let's take our first break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, let's try to figure out what's happening
Speaker 1: in the old line and how that's looking like, and
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. They're moving forward after the break.

Speaker 1: Brian just man I talked about this old line so
Speaker 1: the guy. Let me know what you figured out. I
Speaker 1: keep wanting to say, the guys, the Cowboys and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys they sign Chuma at Dolga. How you say his
Speaker 1: name m Right now, they're not necessarily listing him as
Speaker 1: anything specific. He seems to have very good position flex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but what do you think of a guy like him? Well,
Speaker 1: women in here, yeah, we can do clearly what you know.
Speaker 1: This is where again I look with Will and Steven
Speaker 1: are trying to do, and you have a veteran guy
Speaker 1: here who you mentioned has some position flex. You'll get
Speaker 1: into camp, you'll play some games. You might have depending
Speaker 1: on you want to evaluate your quarterback, depending on if
Speaker 1: you want to evaluate your running backs, depending on if
Speaker 1: you want to evaluate your wide receivers. Veteran offensive linemen
Speaker 1: that could play in preseason games, that could practice and
Speaker 1: maybe be swing guys, or maybe they fit in, maybe
Speaker 1: they make the team and help you with those backup roles.
Speaker 1: The one thing that he will do is the when
Speaker 1: you play preseason games, he'll be able to play in
Speaker 1: the third and fourth quarters of games. You don't want
Speaker 1: to put a bunch of guys out there. Nothing against
Speaker 1: lacon Or I know that he's making a position switch.
Speaker 1: But you know, you got guys out there that you
Speaker 1: know are just fighting just to kind of hang on,
Speaker 1: and you really can't evaluate your team that way. I
Speaker 1: see this as a guy they're going to try and
Speaker 1: see if he has enough to be a swing guy.
Speaker 1: But the big picture thought of a guy like that
Speaker 1: to me is when you get in these preseason games
Speaker 1: and you want to evaluate other players. He's not going
Speaker 1: to make huge mistakes. He's going to play in the game.
Speaker 1: He's going to be steady. He's played games before, and
Speaker 1: so you're able to evaluate your team not putting five
Speaker 1: guys out there that make their quarterback running for your life,
Speaker 1: or the running backs can't get evaluated or they can't
Speaker 1: even get the ball out to the wide receivers. So
Speaker 1: veteran guy like that, try and make the team through
Speaker 1: preseason and then see if you could be a swing
Speaker 1: guy come to be on the fifty three for the
Speaker 1: regular season. Yeah. I mean, anytime you got a guy
Speaker 1: that can play guard and tackle, I mean you take
Speaker 1: him to the game. That's like, it's just like having
Speaker 1: two backups there that you can you can bring to
Speaker 1: the game. He did start at guard and against what
Speaker 1: the Falcons his last season and got hurt. But you know,
Speaker 1: so he's been mostly a tackle and he's a teammate
Speaker 1: of Ronald Jones from college at usc UM, so you
Speaker 1: know he's played at usc He was a tackle, but
Speaker 1: mostly a tackle. But then now I think they're kind
Speaker 1: of working tomc guard. You know, at six three three
Speaker 1: oh eight. If you look at the tackles this team
Speaker 1: has had with with you know, Tyler Smith, Terrence Steele,
Speaker 1: I mean going all the way back to you know,
Speaker 1: Doug free flows Ll. I mean, they like their guys
Speaker 1: to be able to rebound and play basketball down in
Speaker 1: the you know, in the paint. At six three, three
Speaker 1: oh eight, that looks like a guard to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I kind of think that's how they view them.
Speaker 1: And one of those guys that are like, you know,
Speaker 1: we'd like to draft a guard, and this guy's not
Speaker 1: going to prevent us from drafting a guard. But if
Speaker 1: it doesn't, we don't get to it. We're okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know who their left guard is if they had
Speaker 1: to play tomorrow. Yeah, that's the thing, Tyler Smith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's to me, if somebody could tell me
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with Tyrn Smith. And that's that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm thinking that starting to hear the
Speaker 1: whispers that maybe you're looking at Tyrn Smith is what
Speaker 1: the role of Jason Peters was last year. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to move Tyler Smith from left now.
Speaker 1: It's going to be vastly different if they draft a
Speaker 1: guard in the first round. The two names that people
Speaker 1: have kind of tagged them to his kid, Torrents from Florida.
Speaker 1: He's well over three hundred and thirty pounds. A Villa
Speaker 1: from TCU is well at three hundred pounds, three hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds as well. It will be a different
Speaker 1: guy if they if that twenty six they pick either
Speaker 1: one of those guards, it will be a different looking
Speaker 1: body than what they've usually had there at left at
Speaker 1: at left, at left going out for it too, because
Speaker 1: you know, I've say it all the time. You get
Speaker 1: into the red zone and they've they've relied on Zeke
Speaker 1: to be the guy to kind of push the pile.
Speaker 1: I don't think Tony Poler is going to be moving
Speaker 1: the pile himself. I mean, he can get to it
Speaker 1: quicker than anybody else, but sometimes you just have to
Speaker 1: be able to you know, move the pile. And I
Speaker 1: think you know, they've had McGovern, they've had Beadist. If
Speaker 1: you can get a guy like three to thirty power power,
Speaker 1: you know, strong blocker like that, I'm all four because
Speaker 1: they really haven't had that since Ron Leary, I think
Speaker 1: at that position. Well, let's move on to a guy
Speaker 1: they signed yesterday, Trent Trent. Yeah, here's here's what Here's
Speaker 1: what happened there at Snapper. I mean, I think they
Speaker 1: wanted Jake McQuaid back, but but but at a price,
Speaker 1: not not to you know, and mcquaids from the northeast
Speaker 1: or from Ohio, I believe, and you know, wanted to
Speaker 1: go up there to Detroit Um. Sometimes it's just kind
Speaker 1: of a carousel type thing. At Deep Snapper, McQuaid was
Speaker 1: here because Fossil liked him and with the Rams. So
Speaker 1: what happened with Siege. Siege was with the Raiders for
Speaker 1: five years, no bad snaps, no blocks, nothing, did everything
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do, played every game. The Raiders hired
Speaker 1: a new coach I think I think his name is
Speaker 1: McMahon from Inver, and Denver had a guy that was
Speaker 1: a free as at forget his name, it's a long
Speaker 1: name of Boken Camp or something like Boken Biber. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He played from Denver. The guy wanted his
Speaker 1: own guy. Yeah, so seeks out and now that much
Speaker 1: like McQuaid and Bones exactly ten years together and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So this is a guy. He's not on
Speaker 1: the street because he sucked. He's on the street because
Speaker 1: it wasn't the preference of the new coach. And you know,
Speaker 1: the new coach comes in and doesn't see that happen.
Speaker 1: See it happened all the time. So so this is
Speaker 1: a guy that that's good. They like him and you know,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. Yeah, the thing with the snappers,
Speaker 1: but we saw last year though, you know, without McQuaid
Speaker 1: there were a couple of games where there were some issues.
Speaker 1: There was some issues with the snaps, you know, whether
Speaker 1: it was I think it was in the Commander's game
Speaker 1: that ended up being a block or a tip or
Speaker 1: something like that. It was you know, yeah, Overton had
Speaker 1: and then it had a low snap. I mean it
Speaker 1: had a smother situation you know, uh, you know with
Speaker 1: with the holder and trying to get the ball up
Speaker 1: and it's no good and you're kind of wondering. Was
Speaker 1: that the point when all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: your your your kicker started going south mentally because you know,
Speaker 1: was there some uncertainty there. That's a position that and
Speaker 1: I always say, listen, you'd never know who the snapper is.
Speaker 1: And you don't want to ever know who the snapper is,
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't. You don't. Well that was
Speaker 1: a bad snap, Well who was the snapper? And then
Speaker 1: now you start to and it's all about the operation.
Speaker 1: It it starts with that snap. And if you don't
Speaker 1: have a guy that's super reliable and they've had they've
Speaker 1: had snappers here that they've played, you know, fifteen years,
Speaker 1: they've done this job and you know, and had absolutely
Speaker 1: no problems. But then when you start to have some
Speaker 1: poor snaps and the operations get affected, and then you
Speaker 1: start to blame the kicker and you're like, well, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, watch the guy. You know, the balls on
Speaker 1: the ground, you know, the holder has to like smother
Speaker 1: it on the ground and then get it up, you know,
Speaker 1: to try and get it in the air. So I
Speaker 1: we'll see. This is the first time since I think
Speaker 1: like twoy ten, so like thirteen is the first time
Speaker 1: that they've had a deep snapper in his twenties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, LP did it for so long and
Speaker 1: you can this is the position that you can do it. Dale, Hell,
Speaker 1: Astray did it forever before that, well before that. But
Speaker 1: where that does come into play is you do snap
Speaker 1: the ball and run down the field and and you
Speaker 1: can you can make a play or you can make
Speaker 1: a tackle and all that sea. You can get down
Speaker 1: there and you know, be be athletic, be an athlete.
Speaker 1: So you know, they you know, McQuaid was mcquaid's in
Speaker 1: his thirties. Overton who they signed last year, also in
Speaker 1: the thirties, so you know they're getting a young guy,
Speaker 1: which also is important too. This guy does it, does
Speaker 1: his job and does well, maybe he could be here
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know. Yeah, they've had they've
Speaker 1: had you know, like I said, Jeff Robinson or Jeff
Speaker 1: Robinson back in the day. Yeah, to catches two touchdowns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, but his his role was snap napper, snapper.
Speaker 1: Well definitely a solid guy. Yeah, who can do the job.
Speaker 1: So we'll see, Yeah you combine everything, Yeah, exactly. Another
Speaker 1: guy we're just gonna brush through him. But just to
Speaker 1: mention him. We already talked about him a lot last week.
Speaker 1: Step on Gilmore, Yeah, him coming in the team. Everybody
Speaker 1: loves Brian. Wasn't wasn't on our show last week? Were
Speaker 1: you no? What? Yeah? Just curious what's your thoughts on
Speaker 1: you were? Wait? What I was? I know I've been here,
Speaker 1: you were It wasn't, Derek d because I did ask
Speaker 1: you because about it, because I build you for it.
Speaker 1: So I think I was here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I remember thinking when we when we did the Colts game,
Speaker 1: I was like, I thought he was a guy that
Speaker 1: was like he's not what he used to be or whatever.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not, but he's still He got an interception
Speaker 1: and then in five targets and only two receptions on
Speaker 1: him on that day, So yeah, he's the thing about
Speaker 1: it is, I talked to my guys and gals around
Speaker 1: the league that watched tape full time, you know, through
Speaker 1: these teams and both moves at Dallas made everybody was
Speaker 1: on board. I didn't hear anybody like I don't know
Speaker 1: about that one. You're not gonna get anything. Everything was
Speaker 1: very very positive about Gilmore. Everything was very positive about Cooks.
Speaker 1: I think the thing with Gilmore and I mentioned this earlier,
Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, Amber, we can get
Speaker 1: through this. No new money, no new money. There. He
Speaker 1: didn't come in here and say, listen, for me to
Speaker 1: make this trade, we've got to rework my contract, We've
Speaker 1: got to do this. There weren't a lot of demands.
Speaker 1: He was very interested in. You know, he was very
Speaker 1: positive about If you listen to his press conference, he's
Speaker 1: talking about his family, the Cowboy fans and his family.
Speaker 1: He's very excited about being here and the fact you
Speaker 1: got him, and he's you know, he's not interested in saying, well,
Speaker 1: you got to give me an extra five million dollars
Speaker 1: and you got to add years, you got to do that. No,
Speaker 1: it was he was clearly ready to play. He was
Speaker 1: happy about it, and he could still play at a
Speaker 1: high level. Yeah, and I want to know when the
Speaker 1: last time he's gone to a place where he is
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's he's the number two cornerback
Speaker 1: because I don't I don't know. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Got some good athletes coming in here. It looks like
Speaker 1: we need to draft one of these guys. And we
Speaker 1: got a tour coming through here. Um, but I think
Speaker 1: that you know, who knows who's better between Gilmour and Diggs.
Speaker 1: But let's find out. I mean, let's let's let's see.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe this guy pushes a little bit,
Speaker 1: maybe Diggs pushes him, you know, as far as like,
Speaker 1: you know, let's go who's got the number one guy?
Speaker 1: We talked about it all the time. Well, his dig's
Speaker 1: gonna cover him? What if Gilmore covers him? You know,
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows? This is a good problem to have. Well,
Speaker 1: same as the wide receiver position. You meet personally, definitely
Speaker 1: feel a lot better now than at this time last year,
Speaker 1: right of how they had addressed us, Well, how did
Speaker 1: you feel in December when they were trying to win
Speaker 1: games and they kept we couldn't figure out who the
Speaker 1: left corner was exactly? You know, Oh it's Kelvin Joseph, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's Izzy, Oh it's I mean, how many guys
Speaker 1: did they It was like going to a movie going
Speaker 1: through the turnstyle, like they you know, oh, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: try this guy, try this guy. Yeah, try I mean
Speaker 1: how many different guys did they try? Yeah? You know,
Speaker 1: and so yeah that that again, and this is a
Speaker 1: deep draft. By the way, for corners. This is you know,
Speaker 1: if they want to go and grab one at some
Speaker 1: point in time, you should probably get a pretty good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great. I mean, and and if if the first round,
Speaker 1: if the best guy on their board is a corner,
Speaker 1: I would I would consider it. I mean if it
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't beat my preference, you know, if all things
Speaker 1: being equal. Because but then again, I would imagine that
Speaker 1: they're going to try to resign Diggs. I hope that's
Speaker 1: not in the They've got to do it sooner and
Speaker 1: later because you don't have that fifth year option. And
Speaker 1: if you ask me which one would they try and
Speaker 1: do first, I think Diggs is going to be the
Speaker 1: more difficult. I just think it's gonna be tough. And
Speaker 1: you don't have that extra year to work with, you know,
Speaker 1: you just don't. Now you can use franchise tags and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I don't think that the Diggs
Speaker 1: contract is going to be anything easy. I mean, Adam Pacific,
Speaker 1: those guys. I think they work really really hard with
Speaker 1: these agents to try and lake groundwork and to see
Speaker 1: what they have to do. But this one is not
Speaker 1: going to be You have a very emotional player, you know,
Speaker 1: and a player that likes to kind of put his
Speaker 1: business out there a little bit in social media. So
Speaker 1: we'll see how this place. Yeah, but I think I
Speaker 1: think that they are trying to resign them. I think
Speaker 1: you know, you got Gilmore hearing drawn Bland looks like
Speaker 1: a good young player. Um, you know, you drafted two
Speaker 1: other guys that you know. I mean, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: when when they drafted Kelvin Joseph in the second round
Speaker 1: and Nashan right in the third round, I don't think
Speaker 1: that they expected that the very next season they would
Speaker 1: be having to find all these corners off the street
Speaker 1: and then trade for whatever they have not hit the expectations.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's that's easy. That's facts. Yea. And so
Speaker 1: you know what their future looks like is up to
Speaker 1: them really at this point. Oh yeah, let's take our
Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, we're going to get
Speaker 1: into all the in house guys that have signed a
Speaker 1: deal with the Cowboys and our staying in Dallas. The

Speaker 1: Find some cool stuff. Shop there you go pro shop
Speaker 1: to help you out. Yeah, whatever you need, it's there.
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler Fowler, Um, he's a guy that signed a
Speaker 1: one year deal with the Cowboys, a guy that clearly
Speaker 1: dan Quinn really likes, and a guy that he's a
Speaker 1: low key, very important guy in the defense. He's not
Speaker 1: necessarily getting all the attention from the flashy place making there,
Speaker 1: but he's a he was a very productive guy and
Speaker 1: a key player. I in my eyes for them for
Speaker 1: six sacks, six sacks is good? Is you know that's
Speaker 1: a that's a good role player there. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that to me that there was some questions like could
Speaker 1: he still come in and give you something? And and
Speaker 1: clear I'm I'm learning. You know, you're three of dan
Speaker 1: Quinn and defensive coaching staff. Just bring them guys. They'll
Speaker 1: coach these guys up, they'll figure out, they'll get the
Speaker 1: best out of them. They'll they'll find find spots for
Speaker 1: him to play. You don't have questions about defense. Here's
Speaker 1: the questions we have about the offense. How's it gonna be,
Speaker 1: how's it gonna look, who's gonna play where, who's gonna
Speaker 1: line up where? You know? I mean, that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of where I'm with. But the defense, if you you've
Speaker 1: told me, hey, if they keep adding defensive players, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna like a Dan Quinn and the staff will
Speaker 1: figure it out. This has been an A. UM. I
Speaker 1: would grade this this this as an A minus to
Speaker 1: an AH this whole offseason free agency for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: So okay, can I ask you a question? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna get it to an A plus. I
Speaker 1: can get to an A plus. Can you get to
Speaker 1: A plus? Okay? They love to draft, right, that's their
Speaker 1: favorite thing to do. If you just if you took
Speaker 1: out the trades, what would you give them grade wise? Um,
Speaker 1: I think you give them a B minus. Yeah. See
Speaker 1: that's absolutely because See we're so used to around here,
Speaker 1: sign our own, develop our own, you know, bring I
Speaker 1: think I think because the whole thing I thought the
Speaker 1: first signing was honestly gonna be on the opening day
Speaker 1: of free agency on that Monday or the tampering period,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna run the Jake Jake McQuaid one
Speaker 1: at me. You know, they're gonna run that one at me.
Speaker 1: And everybody else is signing, you know, big time players,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, they got the long snapper done.
Speaker 1: But on day two they started doing things. You know,
Speaker 1: when that Donovan Wilson won, I didn't think they could
Speaker 1: get done, not from what I was hearing from the combine. Again,
Speaker 1: give the front office a lot of credit for getting
Speaker 1: that done, but to me, that's I would have I
Speaker 1: would have just kind of like you. I would have said,
Speaker 1: be be mine. It's kind of what they do, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe even a C they just but but the fact
Speaker 1: that they got guys back that I didn't think they
Speaker 1: were gonna get vander esh. I didn't think they were
Speaker 1: gonna get Donovan Wilson done. But then these trains Aid's
Speaker 1: kind of put it over the top for me. When
Speaker 1: you start to talk about your AH and I'll let
Speaker 1: you talk about the A plus. I just I just
Speaker 1: think right now they've done everything they needed to do
Speaker 1: so far, and you know, and they let Schultz go,
Speaker 1: which is fine. I had no problems with that. I
Speaker 1: don't think that was gonna be a good snare to
Speaker 1: bring him back. The one that to me that can
Speaker 1: bring it over the top, to me, is just Hankins.
Speaker 1: You see a big difference there with Hankins when he
Speaker 1: wasn't there, and I think he's a different type of player. Um,
Speaker 1: they want him, they want him back, but they're standing
Speaker 1: their ground just like they did with Fowler. Give him,
Speaker 1: give him credit for that. The deal is there. You
Speaker 1: can shop it if you want to, But go shop
Speaker 1: at Dante Fowler and see if you think that that
Speaker 1: little extra money and not being with dan Quinn is
Speaker 1: going to be better for you. Yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's not. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what Hankins is doing right now. Nick's absolutely right. I
Speaker 1: talked to guys around the league. I say, what are
Speaker 1: you hearing about Hankins, And they're like, he's just dragging
Speaker 1: his feet. He's dragging his feet here. He's not interesting. Mean,
Speaker 1: he's just kind of dragging and kind of figuring out
Speaker 1: what he wants to do and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: you know, you got people like you say the Cowboys
Speaker 1: would love to deal with them. You know, but it's
Speaker 1: just it's on the player too. I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have done a really good job of systematically taking things
Speaker 1: off their checklist. You know, obviously they had Donovan Wilson
Speaker 1: on the top of that checklist, and then they got
Speaker 1: that one done, and then they got vander Esh done.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, we can have a child. Nobody saw the corner.
Speaker 1: Nobody in the league saw them trading for for that
Speaker 1: corner they're at Indianapolis. No. I mean people are asking
Speaker 1: me like, man, did you know, No, no way, that
Speaker 1: was one of those that might have been one of
Speaker 1: those when they were at the and Steven Jones and
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard are good friends, you know, the Indianapolis GM,
Speaker 1: and so you're you're kind of like maybe at the combine,
Speaker 1: maybe they bumped into each other. Hey, you know, I've
Speaker 1: got to Gilmore available you Yeah, what do you want?
Speaker 1: And then you know, you circle back. Nobody saw that,
Speaker 1: and then you know, they they they kind of been
Speaker 1: picking off guys. They moved on. They clearly with Dalton Schultz,
Speaker 1: they gave it a run with Dalton Schultz. I'm talking
Speaker 1: to people around the league that are hearing, like with
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz that they that the Cowboys made a significant
Speaker 1: offer to him, like a five year, twelve million dollars
Speaker 1: a year kind of deal that he turned down. Yeah
Speaker 1: you know, so, I mean this is coming from guys
Speaker 1: around the league. Hey, listen to last year. Yeah, last year, yeah,
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, Like, hey, I heard, I heard Dallas
Speaker 1: did this. Yeah, you know, nobody had Dallas will admit that. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I mean no, these guys are gonna no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna tell you that. But you know, but
Speaker 1: people around the league that I trust are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they Dallas did what they had to do to try
Speaker 1: and get the guy done. And now you know, now
Speaker 1: that we'll see, we'll see, he'll go on. But there's again,
Speaker 1: this is a very very very deep draft with tight
Speaker 1: ends and and and they have a you know, I
Speaker 1: think you know, it's not so much Ferguson last year
Speaker 1: for me that that that gives you that that comfort
Speaker 1: to let him go. It's it's hender shot. It's looking
Speaker 1: at what these two guys did. He's having them both there,
Speaker 1: and look at what Charlts had to develop into his
Speaker 1: first two years. He had only had twelve catches totally,
Speaker 1: or maybe thirteen. These two guys have kind of already
Speaker 1: done that. They looked like they've got a little bit
Speaker 1: more um athleticism, and they also shined when Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: was in or at least Ferguson did as well. So, um,
Speaker 1: I think that they'll did. I see photos of the
Speaker 1: Dak yard the other day. I thought both of them
Speaker 1: are out there. At least Ferguson was for sure, which
Speaker 1: is great that developed that thing because Dak wants to
Speaker 1: throw the ball to the tight end. We know that
Speaker 1: and so be available, get up the field, make plays.
Speaker 1: I think it helps Schultz get his money. It'll help
Speaker 1: these guys as well. Well. You know, you guys already
Speaker 1: mentioned a lot of the names from the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball to Art staying with the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: nat Quinn, Donovan Wilson, Layton Manderesh. We got h Tack, McKinley,
Speaker 1: we got CJ. Goodwin. Tack McKinley was just a one.
Speaker 1: He played, not played. He was active for one game
Speaker 1: right elevated, But they didn't see That's again, you know,
Speaker 1: when we're talking about what a veteran player, you get
Speaker 1: into preseason games, you're trying to kind of close games out.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're like a veteran guy in there that you know,
Speaker 1: get a bunch of rookies or a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: free agents, and you know you have one guy in
Speaker 1: there that can beat a bad tackle, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of times. That's that's McKinley. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: he is. We'll see if in fact that he can
Speaker 1: elevate because if he's been with these guys, Dan Quinn,
Speaker 1: this guy, you know eighty, they know this guy, they
Speaker 1: know this player, so hopefully that they can, you know,
Speaker 1: get something out of him a little bit more than
Speaker 1: what I'm describing. And I don't know what the normal
Speaker 1: number is around the league for teams, but I know this.
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys, if they do draft at twenty six
Speaker 1: this year, don't trade out of it. If they pick
Speaker 1: a player, they'll have twelve first round picks on their team.
Speaker 1: Twelve guys that were first round picks in their career.
Speaker 1: Um that seems like a lot, and and McKinley is
Speaker 1: one of them. So that doesn't mean you're getting twelve
Speaker 1: talent of first round picks right now, but you're getting
Speaker 1: some guys that at least have somebody thought somebody thought
Speaker 1: it at some point not too long ago, Tyren Smithson,
Speaker 1: that group, you know, Milly Cooker, uh, you know, goes
Speaker 1: on and on. I mean there's eleven right now. But
Speaker 1: but you know that that's a pretty that's a pretty
Speaker 1: big number. And and um and Gilmore is in there.
Speaker 1: I believe Cooks is as well. Yeah, so I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's just showing that that they're getting some talented player.
Speaker 1: Let's see if they still got some in the tank.
Speaker 1: It was the second round pick. Thank, he was like,
Speaker 1: round pick high, second round pick, tank lords. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I just traded up. You didn't say tank. I just
Speaker 1: said they have something in the tank and oh thank
Speaker 1: yeah okay, yeah, yeah, thank Okay. My humor is not
Speaker 1: Derek would have checked me on that one. He would
Speaker 1: have given you the no and yeah you've been like
Speaker 1: yeah after the show, he would have said something terrible joke.
Speaker 1: Good one they signed him good when they signed him
Speaker 1: to a one year deal. Yeah. Well see, and they
Speaker 1: were losing. They were losing core guys, Gifford, you know,
Speaker 1: and they lost Noah Brown. I saw bones the other day,
Speaker 1: John Fossil. He was just like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: was losing so many guys. You know, but he said,
Speaker 1: I got a couple of players, got some wild cards
Speaker 1: on the on the team, guys that didn't play a
Speaker 1: lost of special teams, like I got some wild cards here.
Speaker 1: And he didn't mention he was talking about offensive guys.
Speaker 1: But I think Devin Harper, it's got to be time
Speaker 1: for him to exactly really take that, exactly take that
Speaker 1: next leg step I think to finalize our list is
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I don't think his deal had happened when
Speaker 1: we know that, I didn't. I tell you what that's it.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a sneaky good one for you right there.
Speaker 1: I guy's five and one. I'm gonna just say this
Speaker 1: story here, this is how the story I think went.
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys if they if they're excited, you're excited
Speaker 1: about getting Cooper Rush, I think you can. You can
Speaker 1: put it on the weather because Cooper Rush from from
Speaker 1: from my from my understanding, Cooper somewhere at the airport
Speaker 1: at the gate was going to Vegas. It was gonna
Speaker 1: go to the Raiders at least gonna go visit and
Speaker 1: they have an offer on the table. But it was
Speaker 1: that Thursday night where there a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of weather was bad. They actually canceled his flight, and
Speaker 1: I think he looked at and said, this is a sign,
Speaker 1: and I'm going back, going back to Dallas, and I'm
Speaker 1: at least going back home for the night. Next morning
Speaker 1: he signs with the Cowboys. So I mean that's it's
Speaker 1: a good story. Yeah, I good story. I hope that's true.
Speaker 1: I think it's true. And the weather was bad that night,
Speaker 1: and you know when when you don't really want to leave, um,
Speaker 1: you know you maybe sometimes you're looking for signs like that.
Speaker 1: And I think this is a good move for him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Raiders would be a good
Speaker 1: backup spot for him. Anyways, they got, they got Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: they got They're gonna draft someone probably, We'll see what
Speaker 1: happens there. This is a good spot. He's comfort comfortable
Speaker 1: with Dak. He's still got to beat out Will Greer,
Speaker 1: though Will Greer was was coming on strong last year,
Speaker 1: so it'll it'll be interesting. And according to Jerry Jones,
Speaker 1: Arnald's gonna be drafting a quarterback every year in the draft.
Speaker 1: I believe it when I see it. I think they'll
Speaker 1: pick a quarterback this year. Yeah, but I don't think
Speaker 1: the year, I don't, but we'll see. Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Like he's it's it's it's not a bad plan. I
Speaker 1: grew up in that planning green Bay, and it's not
Speaker 1: a bad plan. It really is. One year we had
Speaker 1: a look at for that. What's that? What round are
Speaker 1: you looking at for that? It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: if they take one at the third round, that would
Speaker 1: be that would be very interesting. It might be very
Speaker 1: telling if you take one that early. But there's there's
Speaker 1: some good ones in this draft. There are actually some
Speaker 1: really good cornerback. My favorite is a kid named Hendon
Speaker 1: Hooker from Tennessee. And but you're probably they would have
Speaker 1: to grab him. I think maybe late second, early third
Speaker 1: what you would have to grab him. But yeah, we'll see,
Speaker 1: there's there's aarreer. But doing that though. One year in
Speaker 1: Green Bay, like I say, we had Brett Farve, Mark Burnell,
Speaker 1: Ty Detmer, and Kurt Warner or four quarterbacks, and we
Speaker 1: went after Warner. He was a free agent, but we
Speaker 1: went after him because we had him on the board.
Speaker 1: So when you go and you just stockpile as many
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks him at Albertson's where you sign up.
Speaker 1: He was Yeah, this is pre bag, this is pre bagger,
Speaker 1: this is pre bag into then he went, he went,
Speaker 1: He went from us to bagging to barnstorming and then
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP and Super Bowl. Usually the way it works,
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, that's how the path of the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks that works. Yeah, you get cut, go bag,
Speaker 1: go barnstorm go back leg. Yeah, I love it all right,
Speaker 1: and that is all the time we have for today's show.
