25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: is the lead up to that. Everyone enjoy your off

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: day yesterday, even though we did we were here for

27
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: another edition of Talking Cowboys yesterday morning. I figured out

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: that without practice, without press conference, without interviews, after practice,

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: we say five hours of work, of of just doing

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: stuffing stuff to gather stuff to do our work right.

31
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: For me, it was a good day to get caught

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: up on things I needed to get caught up with

33
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: as far as work goes. You get your San Francisco,

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: what are you getting? Well, No, I'm just it's just

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: getting narrowed in on players, rookies on this roster exactly

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: getting ready for not only the scrimmage on UM Sunday,

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: but also you know, the preseason games. We got all

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: four preseason games this year, so we never really seemed

39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: to take the day off. You know, we're pretty much

40
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: in that tent at least for a couple hours. And

41
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: then because what they do is the Cowboys used that

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: time usually to work out guys. They will workout guys

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: on you maybe make a couple of roster moves, and

44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: they made one yesterday. They did you want to get

45
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to that roster move yesterday? Well, the roster move is

46
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm working the four guys out, and so they bring

47
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: it in a couple one yeah, yeah. And then they

48
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: decided to sign Justin Phillips, who was with the team

49
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: right after the draft. It was let go earlier in

50
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the off season back now, a rookie out of Oklahoma

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: State and Parland, Texas. And they released Larry Allen Junior yesterday. Yeah,

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: you know what, And this is I'll say about Larry

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Allen Junior. Don't feel sorry for the young man because

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: he's got a degree from Harvard. He's better off than

55
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: a lot of us right now, and I think he's

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: going to go on and do great things. I will

57
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: say this about Larry Allen and I we were talking

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: about it kind of going a little pre show here

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: that Larry Allen came into camp and actually looked better

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: than he did in the OTAs and main camps. The

61
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: five weeks that he had to be at the facility

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: and lift and work on nutrition stuff like that. Let's

63
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 1: be honest. You know, IVY League, Harvard and all that. Yeah,

64
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: they've had some players that have played in this league,

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: but the strength programs not the same, you know. And

66
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: he came in. I think he took advantage that he

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: looked okay out here. I was worried about him getting

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: run over. You know, he looked under sized, He looked

69
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: over Matt and all that during the OTAs, but came

70
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: out here and I think for the most part though,

71
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: kind of did himself proud. You know. Mickey said he

72
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: saw him on the way out of the place, and

73
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's probably disappointed that it ended this quickly

74
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: for him. But I kind of saw him as if

75
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: he made the practice squad, it was going to be

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: it was going to be him just really blowing people away.

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought that was really the best level that I

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: could see him attaining at the time. And I promise

79
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: you that was not easy for Jerry Jones to do. No,

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: because the relationship he has with that family, Yes, his dad,

81
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they would have liked to take him

82
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: all the way through preseason and see what he could

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: do to try to make the team, make the practice squad.

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: But it's about getting the ninety got right, ninety guys

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: on the field, the best ninety you can get. And

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: that's the decision they made. But you, like you said

87
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: in the offseason, Brian Larry Allen Junior has already won.

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: He's won this. He's won. He's one, He's got a

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: degree in biomedical engineering. He is going to go do

90
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: great things in this world. Yep, Absolutely, what's biomedical jury?

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: What do you do with bio medical engineer? Do many

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: more things than what you would do out of practice squad.

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, he'll make more. He's gonna make more

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: in a day than he'll make on a week and

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: a practice squad. And you know what, and you know

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: what happened. They their their hand got forced because they

97
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: got short on linebackers. So the next question, right, they

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: needed to make a move. I think they were down

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: to linebackers. Yes, well also too, and and also yeah,

100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: and Andrew dwal is one of the college free agents

101
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: out of Michigan State, right, just getting Covington back, right,

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: So see, and it's funny you say that you know

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: a hard cut for Jerry Jones and the relationship he has.

104
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if necessarily Jerry Jones would visit with

105
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: a down the line player. I think that that Will

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: or somebody would probably say, okay, hey, thank you very much.

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: Move on the fact that the owner general manager says

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: goodbye to you and thank you and shake your hand.

109
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones meets with players, don't get me wrong about this,

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: but he also but I don't know if he would

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: meet with a guy that you know, it's like, okay,

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: we gotta make a roster move, Okay, get Jerry in

113
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: here to say goodbye. Usually Jerry's like, you know, he

114
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: lets Will or somebody else handle that. And but the

115
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: fact he took the time because of the relationship with

116
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: the family, probably be seeing dad this weekend and can't

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: know how absolutely go. Yeah, I mean, and he's and

118
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: and they've known him. I mean he grew up on

119
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: the sideline in the locker room at some of these games.

120
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean when they were winning Super Bowls. By the way,

121
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: we've got football tonight. Sure, Hall of Fame game is tonight. Yeah,

122

00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: they had to play games in the Midwest, preseason games.

157
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: And so they found a place in Della Field, Wisconsin,

158
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: at a military academy. And uh, he said he went

159
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: and visited the place kind of did a site inspection

160
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: in April, and he said the place was just appalling.

161
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: The dorms were terrible, the lights were dim, he said,

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: there were bats flying around in the building. A perfect place,

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: he said. The commander. The commander told them, hey, don't worry,

164
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: we're refurbishing all this stuff. And when you guys get

165
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: back here in August will have it all spruced up.

166
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Not so much. They showed up and they sent the

167
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: players into those dorms. Bats were still flying around. You

168
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: could barely see. And he said the next morning when

169
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: he woke up, there was a big statue on the

170
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: on the on the campus of the military academy, and

171
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: some of the players went and hung him in effigen

172
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: They got they got a dummy thing and a rope

173
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: and hung it on the on the statue. Because it's like, Gil,

174
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: you brought us here. They had to fly like from

175
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: San Antonio on a DC six so an airplane right

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: uh to Milwaukee and bust two hours to this military

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: academy to practice for like maybe a week before they

178
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: went to the next game. One other part of the

179
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: history lesson from Mickey here the first year the Cowboys

180
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty and of course this is the sixtieth

181
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: year of Dallas Cowboys football. They were there at Pacific University.

182
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: Probably got there basically July fourth, I mean, you know what,

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: sixth preseason July ninth. And he remember about the day

184
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: he told me we six So we're talking we're talking

185
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: about yeah, they had six Okay, they had six preseason games, okay,

186
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: and where I just started this show talking about where

187
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: one week, now we got two weeks to go, how

188
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: are we gonna make it the next two weeks? And

189
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: they started, So they started July ninth in uh in Oregon.

190
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Their first preseason game was August sixth in Seattle against

191
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco, so that's a month of trade. So then

192
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: they were there probably another week, okay, because their second

193
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: preseason game was in San Antonio, so they traveled from

194
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Seattle to San Antonio. They played Saint Louis in San Antonio.

195
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: Then they played a home game against Baltimore six days later,

196
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: so maybe I'm sure they stayed in Dallas during that

197
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: week and then they padded off to where you're talking about.

198
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: Their next preseason game was at Louisville at Louisville against

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: the Giants on August twenty seventh. Then September fourth, they

200
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: came back out here at Pendleton, which I guess is

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Camp Pendleton where they filmed over poleshow it's it's It's

202
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: It's it's Oregon, Oh, Pendleton, Oregon against LA and then

203
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: at Minnesota against Green Bay to close it out, so

204
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: that they were that one must have been when they

205
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: went to Wisconsin. God. So their their preseason in nineteen

206
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: sixty started on July ninth in Oregon and their whoa

207
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: wait a second, Okay, their last preseason game with September eleventh.

208
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Their first regular season game wasn't until September twenty fourth,

209
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: another two weeks after that last preseason game. So they

210
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: started July ninth, and then they finally played their first

211
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: regular season game September twenty fourth, and they won their

212
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: only game. It amongst those six preseason games in Louisville

213
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Yeah, because Jerry said that they're gonna

214
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: kick their butts. And the game, the game they played

215
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: against um was it? Uh? Did they played Baltimore? Yeah?

216
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Speak like fourteen to ten? Or yes they did? Mo

217
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: You got a great memory. No, I'd look guilded now. No,

218
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I looked it up. It was Johnny Unitas to Lenny

219
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Moore in the final minute of the game. And why

220
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: were they playing in Louisville? Why were they That's where

221
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: Johnny Nis is from. Why was Johnny and Nias played

222
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: for the Giants? No? No, no, no, you're talking about

223
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: the Baltimore The next week that that's where I got

224
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: that was the only all right, let's go to periscope. Cowboys? Yeah?

225
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: How about yeah? Cowboys? That was talking about that was

226
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: a tribute to Gil brand I was, you're not going

227
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: to dis our tribute to I love Gil. I'm so

228
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: happy for him. I am. Okay, we'll get a periscope

229
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: and thanks again for everybody in pariscope. It's kind of

230
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: hanging out with us today. We talked about this yesterday,

231
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: but Mickey, since we do have a question about I'll

232
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: start with you on this one. How is Travis Frederick

233
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: looking in camp so far? We'll just kind of rehash

234
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: what we talked about yesterday. You kind of had an

235
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: idea about Travis Frederick King his first padded practice and

236
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, his strength was good. He was

237
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: worried about his power and his legs, and I think

238
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: that was good. But he was just a tick off.

239
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: His steps were just a tad behind I think what

240
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: he would want to be. He even said it's going

241
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: to take a while. He hadn't been in pads for

242
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: a year, probably more than a year by time they

243
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: figured out what was wrong with him last year, and

244
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: then the shoulder surgery, the umbilical core the umbilical hernia.

245
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: I said, cordn't have one of those, right. Uh. But

246
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: other than that, you know, he just needs to get

247
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: back out there and they're gonna ease him back in

248
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: and you know, but yeah, he'll improve. But it was

249
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: it was a good sign his strength and his power

250
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: was there. Now he just needs to figure out the

251
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: mass confusion in front of him. I looked it up.

252
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: It was just about a year ago, maybe a little

253
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: less because it was in camp. He left camp, went

254
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: to LA I think, to see doctors, right, and at

255
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: the time they thought stingers and then he kept getting

256
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: second opinions and then found out late August last year

257
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: was when they found out about the GPS diagnosis. So yeah,

258
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: it's been a long time, and expect him just to

259
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: adjust the speed of the game as he keeps going.

260
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Overall impression of Dak Prescott so far, Glad you mentioned

261
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and I've been I've been impressed with him

262
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: and one of the things that I have every year,

263
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: it seems like I'm more impressed with his conditioning. He

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: comes into camp, it's slimmer and slimmer every year. It

265
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: seems like I had a conversation with him last year

266
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: about it and his weight. He puts on weight as

267
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: the season goes on, but I think it's really a

268
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: credit to his offseason conditioning. I remember two years ago,

269
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe after his rookie season, Mickey, you and I were

270
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: taping a blitz show in the locker room and here

271
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: comes this was this was in early March, before the

272
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: offseason program had started, and here's a sweating Dak coming

273
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: out off the practice or out of the weight room

274
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: or whatever you know, to into it to his locker

275
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: and I thought that was a signal that, Okay, here

276
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: it is. He's the only guy up there and he's

277
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: working out. But I think he looks, he looks he

278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: looks sharp this off season with his passage, accuracy and

279
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: so forth, and I think there's a lot of reason

280
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: to think that this his game is going to elevate

281
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: even further this year. And I'm sure when he came

282
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: walking through, I probably said something smart like, oh, did

283
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: you hit her rain shower out there? Coming in? Yeah,

284
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: he'll sweat you up now. I told that. I told

285
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: that to Parcels one day. He was walking he was

286
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: he was walking down the hall. He had one of

287
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: those great t shirts, sweat shows on the Great His

288
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Coaching show that way, didn't he no the blue sweat

289
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: top and he would be sweating while he was doing

290
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: the show, so I can change into a suit. As

291
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, what did you do? Take

292
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: a hose and hose yourself down? He goes, I was

293
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: working out. He does the elliptical. Yeah, they trust me.

294
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: I know that. I did it for an hour and

295
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: I said, and then he looks at me, you work out? Yeah?

296
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: And he started asking me all these questions about my

297
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: physical you know, like you to get a physical every year. Yes, coach,

298
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: how do you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds? You know?

299
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Are you guys seeing any difference at killing Moore's no,

300
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: see anything different that you kind of feel like that,

301
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: you know that maybe it's a little bit different from

302
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: what you saw with Scott Linahan. Personnel groups are different. Um,

303
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: some of the pre snap movement, which is what they

304
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: talked about. I mean, it's what do the rams do.

305
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: They do a lot of window dressing, right, but their

306
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: offense doesn't necessarily change a whole heck of a lot. Right.

307
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: The other thing is the ball, I would say, the

308
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: balls going down field more. But they tried that last year. Yeah,

309
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: they tried a lot of you know, a lot of

310
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: go routes and stuff. They just didn't connect on until

311
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback starts getting sacked fifty six times during the season,

312
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: That is true, Mickey, Uh, I got one. I'm on

313
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: Keller Moore. Yeah. Um, and it's stung in cheek. Okay.

314
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: It's all this work on the Boise State hook and

315
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: lateral and the Statue of Liberty that I know. This

316
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: the big difference there and the five wide receiver sets.

317
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of wide receivers, maky, how has Jalen Guden been

318
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: looking to you chances he makes the team? Do you

319
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: think it's gonna come down to one of those guys?

320
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: One of those I don't know he's he's coming on. Yeah,

321
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think everybody saw John Vay in the

322
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: OTAs in the mini camps, but uh, since we got

323
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: out here and especially when the pads come on, Uh,

324
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: people can't you know he's another guy. They can't run

325
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: with him on the nine route. Yeah, he'll He'll blow

326
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: right by and he does a good job of adjusting

327
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: the ball and catching it. I think he got it

328
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: down towarding his same boy, he did against Denton Geyer

329
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: when he played it Allen that's right, the same way

330
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: at North Texas, right anything they're up. Could both of

331
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: those guys make the team? Is it possible? Well, it's gonna.

332
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: I think it would take attrition at the wide receiver position. Yeah,

333
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I think we all though. I mean, you know with

334
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: Alan Hearne's not here, there's part of the attrition right there.

335
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Give him, give him Tavon. That's four. Yeah, there's two spots.

336
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: Have two more spots. We haven't seen Noah Brown yet.

337
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna. That's not a good thing. Yeah, no,

338
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: But somebody on the show set yesterday, whether you like

339
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: it or not, he's a special teams guy. They like him.

340
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: Maybe these guys can play. They can. You'll settle up

341
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: with Keith though Quinn. He'll tell you that about that

342
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: special team Cedric. Cedric Wilson showed up a little bit too.

343
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: He's put space. I'll get it out play special teams. Yeah,

344
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Reggie Davis can return kicks. Doesn't look bad Minters did

345
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: in the fact that returning punts, because if he could

346
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: show enough there, maybe that's enough to get a spot.

347
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: But I mean his speed, I don't know if anybody

348
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: runs quite like him straight on speed on roster, except

349
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: I'll quote Chris Hall when I asked him about his speed.

350
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Chris Hall said, and Chris is kind of the what

351
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: like director, coordinator college got it? Yeah, coordinator, And he

352
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: said that guy can run out of site. Yeah, his

353
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: socks move faster than everyone else's. Yeah, that's what it is. Unbelievable.

Speaker 1: Back to Talking Cowboys, Talking Cowboys continues from here in Oxnard, California.

411
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys hit the practice field for a walkthrough this morning,

412
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: shortly after we get off the air, and this afternoon

413
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: they practice. In fact, the next four days they're all

414
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: afternoon practices Thursday through Sunday, and then their next day

415
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: off will come on Wednesday. First preseason game is a

416
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: week from Saturday in Santa Clara against the forty nine ers.

417
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: Second preseason game will be in Hawaii against the Rams.

418
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: They leave here in two weeks on Thursday, August fifteenth

419
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: for that preseason again. That's when they break camp and

420
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: then they will have They Cowboys made the announcement yesterday,

421
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: the official announcement the training camp in Frisco that will

422
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: be free and open to the public. It's as we

423
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: welcome back football in the Dallas Foot War theory of

424
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: August twentieth through the twenty seventh, and you can find

425
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: the details on that Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We take

426
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: your questions here on periscope with Brian and good numbers

427
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: on periscope as usual. I'm sure yes. And Mickey wants

428
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: to bring up something about Michael thomas contract with the Saints,

429
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: how it might relate to Amari Cooper. I think microphone fall.

430
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys would love to sign MARII Cooper

431
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: to Michael Thomas's contract because when you go inside the numbers,

432
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: basically it's a three year, forty five million dollars deal

433
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: that they can get out of. But wait, it was

434
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: announced as five years, and it's really five years nine

435
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: up to ninety six million, Okay, not one hundred ninety six.

436
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Whoever reported the hundred kind of pushed the envelope a

437
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: little bit to make it sound better. But they can

438
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: get out of this contract after three years. Now there'll

439
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: be eight million dollars of dead money. They can get

440
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: out of it after four years, would only four million

441
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: dead and sixty million paid out, So four years, sixty million.

442
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: The guarantee runs out after four years, so that to me,

443
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: my simple math tells me that's fifteen million dollars a year.

444
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you be okay, with signing Amari Cooper to a

445
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars sixty one guarantee, I think that's more

446
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: in line to what they would like to do right exactly,

447
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: And the last two years of his contract that aren't

448
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: guaranteed total thirty four million dollars thirty four in the

449
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: last two years of just basically signing our base salary.

450
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: The other thing is, I don't know if everybody can

451
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: see this, but there's a list of contingencies here that

452
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: he can earn if he does this or this, and

453
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: it all adds up to a couple million dollars more So,

454
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: it's like, I'll just give you one example. In twenty

455
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: twenty three, his per game active bonus is thirty one thousand,

456
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty a game, so that's five hundred

457
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He also has some incentives where if he

458
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: checked this out twelve touched any of these twelve touchdowns,

459
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred receiving yards, fourteen hundred receiver yards, and a

460
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: playoff game, one hundred receptions, one hundred receptions and a

461
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: playoff game, he can get three hundred and seventy five

462
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for each of those incentives after Drew Brees retires.

463
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there's a lot of funny money in

464
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: there that makes it look like, oh, it's twenty million

465
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: a year. It is not twenty million a year. It's

466
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: fifteen million a year when you deal with where the

467
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: guarantees are. And they didn't change his base salary much

468
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: for this year. It's only like one point uh six

469
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: million dollars because he handed him twenty million signing bonus.

470
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: And what I've been told is because of the way

471
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: the CBA's going to be structor is structured for next year,

472
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: the signing bonuses are going to be smaller, Right, They're

473
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: going to be smaller so that you can get out

474
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: of the contract and there'll be more of these big

475
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: base salaries because of the thirty percent rules. So don't

476
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: get all fired up. And you know Steven Jones, you

477
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: know he was on the ticket the other day or

478
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: yesterday it was yes, but he was on the ticket.

479
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: And if I'm going to give him credit for the quote, absolutely,

480
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: Stephen said, we can't push the issue unless we want

481
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: to be a market setter, and we're damn sure not

482
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: going to be a market senter because of all the

483
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: things that go with being a Dallas cowboy. So basically

484
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: what he is saying, we gotta do Amari, we gotta

485
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: do Zeke, we gotta do Dak and he goes in,

486
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: it's not Jerry's money, it's the money that would go

487
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: to other players that we have to be careful so

488
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: we can sign. And then he went on and talked

489
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: about Byron Jones got to be signed, Lal Collins got

490
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: to be signed, Jalen Smith's gotta be signed, Collins and

491
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: LC Collins. So there's other guys that they've got to

492
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: worry about. I don't know what the Saints have to do, right,

493
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: but fifteen million a year when Mamari's making fourteen million

494
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: this year, I'd do it tomorrow. That's interesting. You brought

495
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: that up because the fans are fired up because the

496
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: reaction was, all right, you saw wins get a deal.

497
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: Does the market go up for Dak? Now? All right?

498
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: You son, Michael Thomas get a deal. Why are they

499
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: waiting so long and letting other teams set the market.

500
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: That's just not how they view it though, right exactly.

501
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: And you know what, if you look on the inside

502
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: of Winz's deal and you consider what he's getting paid

503
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: this because it's an extension. So the years of base

504
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: salaries he's has still counts, and if you count those

505
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: along with the extension, it would average over the next

506
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: six years like twenty twenty seven million dollars a year.

507
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: Would you do that with Dak right now? Absolutely? So

508
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: He's not a thirty million dollars a year man, when

509
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: you consider what he's got to make first before he

510
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: gets to the extension. So my word out to everybody is,

511
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: look inside the contract. Don't take the number that first

512
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: comes out, because that's an agent number, and all he's

513
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: doing is advertising for his business to be able to

514
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: sign the next guy. And he can say, look, I

515
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: got Michael Thomas, the biggest contract ever for a wide receiver,

516
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: which I don't. All I know is I think Odell

517
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: Beckham Juniors is like eighteen million a year. Can I

518
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: ask a question? Maybe it's a little bit off topic here,

519
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: but I was just sitting there listening to Mickey as

520
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: a great analogy or a great explanation what's going on.

521
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: As much as Jerry Jones loves the players, you know,

522
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: and wants to take care of the players, do you

523
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: think this whole thing with Zeke has shook him a

524
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: little bit that his you know, And I'm no, I'm

525
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: asking an unfair question here because I'm asking you to

526
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: jump into Jerry Jones mind. But you guys all know Jerry.

527
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: You know he's has such loyalty to his guys. Is

528
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: does this does this shake him going forward? That he thought,

529
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, I put my neck out for

530
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: this guy. I drafted him. I wanted him here through

531
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: all he's gone through, all all all the things he's

532
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: gone through, the fights he's had with Roger Goodell, the

533
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: fights he's had with the league, the legal fights and

534
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: all that. The ah, he's gonna play this week. No,

535
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. Yes, he's gonna play. No, I mean,

536
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: does this decision shake? Does this shake Jerry Jones? Now?

537
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: Because I think he's mad that it's happening, and he's

538
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: done a very good job of controlling himself, although in

539
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: the press conference he started getting to the crux of

540
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: the matter there. I don't think he gets mad at

541
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: the player. I think he gets mad at the agent. Okay, okay,

542
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: because he's just fallen along. Zeke didn't wake up one morning,

543
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: can go you know, what I think I'm gonna hold out, right,

544
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: So someone told him there, somebody told him this is

545
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: how we're gonna set your money. So someone someone, He

546
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: woke up and someone said, listen, you know they're they're

547
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna give you four hundred carries again this year. You

548
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: okay with that? Do you think that's kind of how?

549
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean? Zeke's like, nah, just let him. I like

550
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: to play. No, he saw what's happening with Melvin Gordon.

551
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Sure no, but but someone told him, Hey, they're gonna

552
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: give you four hundred carries four or touches again. I

553
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: mean it was like Emmett's first rookie year. Sure he

554
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: wasn't mad at Emmett, he didn't even hardly know him,

555
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: but he sure knew those two agents, and he wasn't

556
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: really happy with them. I agree with you up to

557
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: a point. Up to a point because at the end

558
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: of the day, who works for who? Yeah, but I'm

559
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: telling you agents, he's twenty four years Do you think

560
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: Zeke understands the salary capit rules? Do you think he

561
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: understands what market value is? Somebody has to explain it

562
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: to him, and you get a smart guy. I'm not

563
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: trying to say he's some sort of dummy, because if

564
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: you talk to the players, he's a smart dude. I

565
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: just know, I just know. When the Tank deal got done,

566
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: it was DeMarcus Lawrence getting on the phone with Stephen

567
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: Jones and saying, let's figure this out, okay, because I

568
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: know I need surgery and I want to play this year.

569
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: There you go, so we'll it have to come to

570
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: that point. Maybe it does well then you know, maybe

571
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: it will. But I'm saying the agents running this thing.

572
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: So that's uh. The reaction from the Foundation seventy seven

573
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter question for Dak would be calls Zeke so Zeke,

574
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Coop and himself to leave their agents at home and

575
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: have all three deal with the Joneses and McClay to

576
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: get a deal done. It's what he and everybody in

577
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: the room. Bobby Lagger did his own deal in Seattle.

578
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah it's right. Yeah, that's a market for Jalen Smith.

579
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know if without an agent you could

580
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: do all this, you know, Well yeah, I just I

581
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: just wanted to know if, because like I said, Jerry

582
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: Jones is so loyal to his players, He really is loyal.

583
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: He'll do anything he can to help his players. Even

584
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, we've had people ask about any update on

585
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: Randy Gregor. I haven't heard anything on Randy Gregory, but

586
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: think about him just going to bat him. Think of

587
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: him trying to give an extra three hundred thousand dollars

588
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: to Randy Gregory on really a contract extension, knowing that

589
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: potentially this could happen where Randy gets suspended for the

590
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: whole year. At least Randy could have some money to

591
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: live on, you know. I mean that's you're you're an owner,

592
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: and you're saying, you know, I gotta we gotta find

593
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: a way to help him. We gotta find a way

594
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: to help this guy. And I just wonder if, if

595
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe someday I'll I'll ask here, if i'd

596
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: see him, I'd say this, you're confidence shaken when on

597
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: players this way. I think he might be right. We

598
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: don't know for sure, but I think Mickey's right about

599
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: the agent. But I just wonder if it's like, man,

600
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm busting my ass to try and help the situations,

601
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: and I and you're and what are you doing to me?

602
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have many campaigns left. I don't

603
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: have many campaigns to walk up there and try and

604
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. I assemble the best team I can.

605
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've paid Lineman, I've paid uh yeah, I've

606
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: paid all these defensive players. I've paid people. And I'm

607
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: trying to win this damn thing and you're and you're

608
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: not helping me, right, And these guys are now they've

609
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: got you know, the core players, sure, meaning even Dak

610
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: and Zeke. They are now going to their fourth year.

611
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: So they are in the prime of Okay, they there's

612
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: no none of the rookie stuff. It's okay, how good

613
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: are they going to be the second year or the

614
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: third year? Now they are in it. Okay, So you'll

615
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: get your answer to that if they enforce the fines

616
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: you think, so, which there they can do now? Right? Yeah?

617
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Well yeah, no, I mean the um and and after

618
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: and asked for the fifteen percent of thirteen And what

619
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: day did you say we were This is if you

620
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: count Friday like reporting was, this is seven days right, right,

621
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: So that's forty thousand dollars a day. That's two hundred

622
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: and eighty thousand dollars already that he can be fine

623
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: if they want to, Yeah, if they want to, If

624
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: they want to enforce it. And then now that the

625
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirteen on the signing bonus, and it

626
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: can go up one percent each day until it gets

627
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: to twenty five percent. You can ask another question. You

628
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: think that Jerry and they were playing this knowing that

629
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Zeke can't match the pot. If Jerry calls, you know,

630
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: in the using poker terms, what do you mean, can't

631
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: match the pot? Zeke doesn't have the money to match

632
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: the fine pot. Well, yeah, not the fine pot, but

633
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: just maybe overall, maybe he doesn't have every dime. Maybe

634
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: he's not Terence Newman and has every you know knows

635
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: you know it knows where his first nickel was. Well,

636
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: do you think they're playing a game whether where Jerry's

637
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: looking at him and going, Okay, I know you don't

638
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: have enough money to match that pot. That's possible, But

639
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: I go back. I think I said this when this

640
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: he first held out. Is it's a precedent thing. They

641
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: can't they are So we just mentioned all these guys

642
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be up for deals after this current group.

643
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: You can't set a precedent of Oh, there's no question right, Okay,

644
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: you're not here. We gotta get a deal, said that.

645
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, let me ask you this, all right, I

646
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: thought of this this morning. How much is it on

647
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: the agent or Zeke's mind that the head coach is

648
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: going into the last year of a contract. I don't

649
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: think he cares well from this From this standpoint, this

650
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: offense is based on Zeke being a key member of it.

651
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: If if you changed coaches after this year and you

652
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: brought in now, I'll throw out Lincoln Riley, sure, But

653
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: but Lincoln Riley coach, he would he would love Ezekiel Elliott.

654
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: So let's say a college coach who spread it out

655
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: and they don't rely Mike Leach, they don't rely on

656
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: a r I could us to do what this offense

657
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: asked him to do. Sky is that on their mind

658
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: at all? That we need to get our money now

659
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: because we don't know what's gonna happen even six months

660
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: from now with this, with this offense and what Zeke

661
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: means to this team six months from now because of

662
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: the uncertain status of the head coach. It's not a

663
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: bad thought. No, I don't disagree, but I don't know

664
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: that you can do what you're saying they could do

665
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: in one offseason. Well, and the reason I asked that

666
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of people who say, WHOA, he's

667
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: got two years left on his contract. He needs to

668
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: honor his contract. He makes nine million next year, right,

669
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: but he needs to honor his contract. He shouldn't be

670
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: asking to renegotiate. Now, this is a little different than

671
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: a normal contract, and when you're talking about a sports team. Yeah,

672
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: because of those kinds of factors. I don't think Zeke's

673
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: focusing on Jason Garrett. Yeah, I don't. I don't think

674
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: that's a primary thing, but maybe that's part of it.

675
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: I just my gut is that if Zeke, I think

676
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: the players are okay with him holding out until we

677
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: get to that first game, and then once it gets

678
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: into if he's holding out week one, week two, week three,

679
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: then it's become it's going to become a little contentious

680
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: when Dicky asks when when it hurts them? See, this

681
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt this doesn't hurt them now, but Micky, when

682
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: Micky goes in there and the pad open and ask

683
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: a really tough question like about you know, now, you're

684
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: going to see some guys gritting so well. And this

685
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: is what I wonder when he gets down to that,

686
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: if it does. Everybody looks who who's who's his best

687
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: buddy on the team, Dak Press, Scott Press, are they?

688
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really gonna leave Dak high and dry

689
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: in this situation we're trying to go on Super Bowl.

690
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if he really feels like financially,

691
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: that's what he's got to do for his future. Okay,

692
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: but I gotta see that. I gotta see that because

693
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: all it takes is one loss that could decide this division.

694
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, all it takes is one miss game right

695
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: to decide this thing. And this is built to your

696
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: point talking when all these guys going in their fourth year.

697
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: One thing we don't talk about is all these guys

698
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: down the line, all these worker b guys, role players

699
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: down the roster who have contracts expiring. Randall Cobb has

700
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: an expiring contract after this year. Robert Quinn, this might

701
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: be the best shot this team has because this team

702
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: could look there's a lot of young guys, a lot

703
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: of good young talent, but this roster could look drastically

704
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: different next year one fifty three. Yeah, because about Jerry.

705
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: That's why I asked the question about Jerry. Yeah, did

706
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: he feels a little betrayed right now? Yeah, and so

707
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: is this the cowboys best roster says win when we

708
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: come back. I'm talking Cowboys. If you're like me and

776
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: I would have probably been right behind you. If you

777
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a good shot on him, I'd have got

778
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: him from that old press box in San Diego Jack

781
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: sports writer himself. Oh Jack Murphy was a good one. Yeah, yeah,

782
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: that was a nice night. There'd be a Mickey Spagnola

783
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: stadium somewhere. I doubt that Chicago Heights. Just wait, little League.

784
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they probably forgot I was there. Now they've already

785
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: named those stadiums after people from fifty years ago Jack

786
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: Kin cannon Jack cannon Field. All right, um no, actually,

787
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: Sam Piazza, Sam Piazza, Okay, Cowboys, all right, this Cowboys roster.

788
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin was out here the other day. He said

789
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: that he believes this is the most talented Cowboys roster. Well,

790
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: he said in twenty five years, but he meant since

791
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl. And then he

792
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: corrected himself and said, since the Cowboys last won a

793
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, best Cowboys roster since then. Tony Romo was

794
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: interviewed yesterday or the day before and Tyler Texas playing

795
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: in the Texas his state amateur Did he win? I

796
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: believe he missed the cut, but uh stuff Uh he

797
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: shot of seventy six the second day, which wasn't good enough.

798
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: But he said this, he believes this is the most

799
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: talented Cowboys roster since he first came into the league,

800
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: which was two thousand and three. He probably could take

801
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: it back further than that, but that's all he qualified

802
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: it with. So how this is the most talented Cowboys

803
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: roster since when I'm gonna try to save this thing,

804
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to save this team from the outside

805
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: hype because every time this happens. It doesn't work out

806
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: every time, So I'm I'm going to disagree. I'm going

807
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: to disagree. Wait, why are you granted? Because I'd love

808
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: the what you're saying. I remember, was it two thousand

809
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: and nine? It was a Cowboys camp in San Antonio,

810
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: and I remember talking to Peter King, you know, I'm

811
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: asking him about this. He was talking about the Cowboys

812
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah, and he thought that that Cowboys offensive line. No,

813
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: it was the it was last year, the last year, Wade,

814
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: it was twenty ten, yeah, okay, when they got old, yeah, suddenly,

815
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: And he said in his big deal that training camp

816
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: was this is the best Cowboys offensive line. I put

817
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: it on a par with those Super Bowl teams of

818
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: the night. I remember that now. And and the Cowboys

819
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: started the year well one and seven and seven. Yeah,

820
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: I was thinking oh eight, when Hard Knox was here

821
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: and it was it was Super Bowl or bust. I

822
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: truly believe it. I don't think you can say they're

823
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: they're better on paper necessarily than the Oh seven team

824
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: that went thirteen and three and should have gotten to

825
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game at minimum. You know, they had

826
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: the Giants at home didn't win that game, and that

827
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: looked like a huge missed opportunity. Um, let's look at

828
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: that team. I mean, Tony Romo was in his prime,

829
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: put up sky Wars numbers that year. Um, you had

830
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: a nice two headed running attack. I had heard that

831
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: you had a t O guy remember Tarall Owens, Hall

832
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: of Famer, DeMarcus ware Rush and the passer, a big

833
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: dominant offensive line. I mean, I don't think we're getting

834
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: enough credit to that team, but there's no doubt this

835
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: team has a ton of young talent. That's what's so

836
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: exciting about is how young these guys are. Yeah, I

837
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: think you gotta go. You go back to two thousand

838
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: and seven, flows Al Adams, Kyle Kozar Okay, so okay,

839
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: Andre Gerard Leonard Davis was still playing well, Mark Colombo, Witten.

840
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: I forgot about Witting in his prime. And then you

841
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: you shared the running back spot with Julius Jones and

842
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Mary and Barber. And that was the year that Barber

843
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: scored ten touchdowns after Julius Jones did all the work

844
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: getting the ball down to the five yard line. And

845
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, Mary and go score Bill. Just that

846
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: wasn't Bill. It was it would have been Jason right

847
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: because offensive coordinator, but Bill had started it the years before.

848
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: It's like Julius did all the work and then Barbar

849
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: got all the touchdowns. Say they say, we're gonna go

850
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: with the big back at the at the goal line.

851
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: Witton had ninety six catches, Owen's eighty one, and Craton fifty.

852
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, if your third receiver gets fifty catches, you'll

853
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: take that right now. So that that roster was pretty good.

854
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: Hit me the ninety two or ninety three cowboy roster. Well, yeah, yeah,

855
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't know that we no, I'm just saying. And

856
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: then go back to nineteen seventy seven. So I thought

857
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: ninety three Super Bowl team ninety three was probably their

858
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: their best. Yeah, you had two and a Newton Stepnoski uh,

859
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Gogan at right guard and Eric Williams at right tackle. Okay,

860
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: different line for the way they different kind of different

861
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of line. This is the These were bullies and

862
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: the line today is more athletic movement. So in the

863
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: era of being a bully, that that was the best

864
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: you could be. Right there. Emmett runs for fourteen hundred

865
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: and eighty six yards. Um he also caught fifty seven passes.

866
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: Michael had reception. It was the ninety four offensive line.

867
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: It changed because Larry Allen. Larry Allen ended up at

868
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: right tackle because that was when Eric got accident. So

869
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: basically it was two and a Newton Stepnoski. Derek Nard

870
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: was pretty still good. Okay, but imagine that if Eric

871
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: Williams hadn't had his accident. Yeah, they would have had

872
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: two and a Nate step Larry Allen at guard at

873
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: Eric Williams at tackle. Wives. Who's the only guy on

874
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: this current offensive line that would have started on that group?

875
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: Zack Martin maybe, yeah, Zach would have Zach probably gets

876
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: in at at guard. Okay, would you taken Frederick healthy

877
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: Frederick ober step now, and and you guys know better

878
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: than me on that, and you probably Tyrn Smith over

879
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: two and a two and a was good, but he

880
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: ain't Tyron Smith, Right, that's true. That's true. God rest

881
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: his soul. Yea a great player. Wow. So, and Mike

882
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: wasn't saying since those teams not that, not that, No, no,

883
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: no talented than oh no, not at all right, No,

884
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: he's saying that in the last however, twenty four years. Yeah,

885
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: he believes that this is the most talented roster since

886
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. He might be right.

887
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: I wish you guys could go back and look at

888
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: that seventy seven team. I keep mentioning that. And that's

889
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: the one with Staubach and Pearson and Dorset and Robert Newhouse,

890
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Randy White, Harvey Martin, you know, the secondary probably Aaron Kyle, Yeah,

891
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris, you know, yeah, those are those

892
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: are all teams. Danny White was your punter. See this

893
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: is See that's why I'm saying, if you if you

894
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: say that, and you have to think of the great histories, right,

895
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: And I grew up in that era from nineteen seventy

896
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: two to nineteen ninety two of watching his team play.

897
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: And that's why I'll always fight for guys from that era,

898
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, before the jones Is bought the team in

899
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, because they played damn good football. They

900
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: were very similar to what the Patriots are today. Might

901
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: have been the best Cowboys team ever with that roster,

902
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: and not without doubt, see so and so, and I

903
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: appreciate Michael or I appreciate Tony Romo, but again I've

904
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: lived through some of this, and I go back and

905
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: think about those teams and it's it's high praise. Oh,

906
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: this is the best. Now maybe they're saying it's because

907
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: since we've known the team. Maybe that's the attitude you

908
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: have to take. And they're not they're not saying that

909
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: it's better. They're better. Time the Super Bowl teams, they're

910
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: saying they're better since they won the Super they might

911
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: not win the division and look at it. This is team.

912
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: Look how close they came to not winning it last year.

913
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: Absolutely Rob said it one game. This is still this

914
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: is still a young team. Yeah, that's that's part of

915
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: the excitement that has to be signed. And the defense

916
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: is young. Yeah, you've got guys that are you know,

917
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: for second or third year that into this thing. That's young.

918
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: That's why I think people will compare it. And Mike

919
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: might be comparing it because it's like the ninety one

920
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: team last year. I think you've made that comparison before.

921
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: Now they're ascending, you're hoping they're ascending, and they're kind

922
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: of to a point they're hitting the sweet spot of

923
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: where those ascending players and then they bring these veteran

924
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: guys in if if they if they still got what

925
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 1: we think that they have left, like a Robert Quinn,

926
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: like a Randall Cobb. You know those are that better

927
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: press even they only have now with Morris, they got four.

928
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: But if Whitner can play like he played before, you

929
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: know that one player might wreck this. About it? That

930
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: one player, Oh yeah, he might wreck this. He ain't

931
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: given up. You need a rushing the question, you need

932
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: a former rushing champ to win a Super Bowl. He

933
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: ain't given up two hundred four thousand dollars a week

934
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: to miss games. I will, Micky, I that ain't happening.

935
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: I think you're two hundred and twenty four thousand a week.

936
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: Jerry's calling his bluff. Jerry's gonna call this bluff. I

937
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: just think they need they need to slide. And maybe

938
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: it's too late to slide on the radar because it's

939
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: it's out there now, all the hype is out there.

940
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: But you know what, there's a lot of good teams

941
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: in this conference. The Rams aren't going anywhere, The Saints

942
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: aren't be where, the Bears, the Eagles, and how long

943
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: has it been since a day NFC East team has

944
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: repeated as a division champion. Philly like fifteen thousand and

945
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: four Andy Reid team or in a row. That's right,

946
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: I mean. And by the way, no one has won

947
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: it more than two of the last three years, which

948
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: they've done, right, But fire the coach. Even if he

949
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: wins a division title, he wins three out of four.

950
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: I was looking at that. Okay, that's okay, that's okay, right,

951
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: fire the coach. I appreciate you. Nobody else in the

952
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: in the in the division has done it. I appreciate

953
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: your passion. Well, it looks like that shot clock has

954
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: got us again. Yeah what shot clock got me? What?

955
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: I didn't hear you? Yeah? All right? That does it
