00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys,

3
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Star in friscot No. Your hosts Rob Phillips, heck My Harrison,

5
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: Danny Serek, and Kyle Yeoman's Boy, it's another Tuesday edition

6
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: of Talking Cowboys as we roll along here in this

7
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Dallas Cowboys off season, and we're gonna break

8
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: down quite a few moves actually, that the Cowboys have

9
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: made since the NFL Draft a couple of weeks ago.

10
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's here with our residents, Super Bowl champion Isaiah Standback.

11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: We've got Cowboys insider Rob Phillips and our Swiss army

12
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: knife of an analyst in Heckma Harris. And that's probably

13
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the best way to describe Heckma, of course, and we

14
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: are having some technical difficulties with Heckma on the audio

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: side of things, but we'll get those worked out in

16
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: the next couple of moments. But guys, it's it's sinco

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: de mayo. It's the equinox. In terms of the twenty

18
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty NFL offseason. Ninety three days since Super Bowl fifty four,

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: and it's ninety two and a half days pretty much

20
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: until the August sixth preseason opener of the Hall of

21
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. We're halfway through this offseason hopefully,

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: but at the same time, there's still plenty to talk

23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: about because things just keep on happening. Rob Cowboys just

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: keep making moves. Don't think we thought. We talked about

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: it on the show last week that are they done?

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: And obviously they've worked one. They made a couple of signings,

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton being the big one that came down

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and I just I want to get

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: outs take on this because he, like you said, he's

30
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: the resident quarterback of this group. But I just want

31
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: to say, it's not about Dak Prescott. I repeat, it

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: is not about Dak Prescott. You know, I look full

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: disclosure for me. I don't want to see anybody ever

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: lose their job, especially not in the situation that we're

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: in right now across the country, across the world. But

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: from a pure business standpoint, when you look at the

37
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys situation at quarterback, they were going to pay Cooper

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Rush two point one million dollars to probably be the

39
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Andy Dalton now comes in and if he

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: doesn't play a snap and he's just the backup for Dak,

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: he makes three and so that's not a huge difference.

42
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: But you're getting a guy that is a three time

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or a nine year starter and has been

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: around and taking a team to the playoffs in Cincinnati

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: five times. I think it was a no brainer for

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: a guy that wanted to come back to Texas. Examine.

47
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: This is an awesome pickup. I repeat, this is an

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: awesome pick up. Again, Will and the rest of the

49
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: crew have done an amazing job over there at the start.

50
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Listen if you can pick up, Like you said, this

51
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: is not about Dak, right, but if you have an opportunity,

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: your jobs as a general manager, your job as a

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: head coach, your job as a scout is to acquire

54
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: the most amount of talent you possibly can on your

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: roster and making sure that you stay underneath the cat.

56
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: If you can acquire that, right, and you can add

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a talent level like Andy Dalton unto your depth chart,

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: why would you not, right, So, if everybody's out there

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: throwing shade, and everybody out there that's wondering about Dak.

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Dak is gonna get what close to forty million dollars

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: this year, right, So he's a quarterback, Okay, don't worry

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: about that, whether it's under the franchise, whether it's underneath

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: a new contract, he's the guy. But you just added

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: somebody who's been to three Pro Bowls, right, yeah, five times,

65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: So somebody who has more experience than you're starting quarterback.

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: He's coming in a position where he could just relax.

67
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: He can be a coach, right, he could be a mentor,

68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: and in case something does happen with Dak, that is

69
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: your best insurance, Paul, So you could have possibly gotten

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: in this entire league. So great move by the Cowboys.

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Awesome job. They just continue making them making the best decisions.

72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: And I'm glad we're all on the same page in

73
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: that regard that this isn't about Dak. And that was

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: going to be a conversation that at least if somebody disagreed,

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: I was going to throw that out there. It was

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: that even a possibility. I don't think that's the case.

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: I think this is one hundred percent of backup role

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: and it's a brilliant idea because if you look at

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: last year, the Cowboys would have loved to have a

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: guy like Andy Dalton throwing the football down the stretch whatever.

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Dak was having those shoulder issue issues and he had

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a nagging injury that kind of

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: kept him from being one hundred percent. Now you have

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 1: a guy that if Dak Prescott isn't one hundred percent

85
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and he isn't seeing the same kind of success that

86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: he would normally have as the Cowboys quarterback, you could

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: pull in at Andy Dalton for a driver too. It's

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of switch things up. It opens things up for

89
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore even more so, even though you did already

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: do that in the draft with Ceedee Lamb. Now you

91
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: will it up with the options of backup quarterback. But Isaiah,

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: it kind of brings me to the question of what

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of competition does this cause in the quarterback room

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: because now there's four quarterbacks. We had five. Cooper Rush

95
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: was released over the past couple of days, but you

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: do have four quarterbacks with Clayton Thorson in there, Ben Denucci,

97
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the recent seventh round draft pick, and then Dak Prescott

98
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton of course the top two in the

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: quarterback room. But what kind of competition, what kind of

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: conversations are going on in that room? Isaiah, Yeah, I

101
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: mean it's really a three mass show right now. I mean,

102
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: obviously you got that's the guy, right, I mean, hopefully

103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: we can get him signed and get him rolling and

104
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: be confident in that for however many years, whether it's

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: four year deal, whether it's a five year deal going forward.

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: And then you have Andy Dalton, who's the one year

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: insurance policy, right, So that's that's that's your insurance policy

108
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: that you can know just in case anything happens a deck.

109
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Any team would prefer to have an experienced playoff, Pro

110
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback as the first option in the first line

111
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: of defense to be able to come in if something

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: happened to your starter. So that's your insurance policy. And

113
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: then you got de Nucci, who's obviously he's your development guy, right.

114
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: He's a guy that you picked up that you feel

115
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: like you know has some good talent, but he needs

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: some time. And what better guy has to learn from

117
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: than dam and Andy. So um, I think that's a

118
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: great room. It's gonna be competitive, right, it does. It

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: should light a fire underneath underneath that. Right. Obviously he

120
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: knows that he's a guy, but right now he's coming

121
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: underneath if unless they get a deal done, he's gonna

122
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: be a one year contract guy, right, He's gonna be

123
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: a franchise guy possibly, or so if he signs that deal,

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: he's underneath the one year contract. Him Andy Dalton are

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: in the same situation, just for substantially different money. Right,

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: So any Dolton's not gonna allow for him to really

127
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: fall off in terms of his production, right, Not that

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: he would want to anyway, or that he would because

129
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: it's a money year for him right now. But any

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Dalton is that is that guy that you have to

131
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: look over your shoulder and be like, crap, I gotta

132
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: be on point because they do have somebody who's proven

133
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: that I can't fall off. Because this dude has shown

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: that he's been able to do this, he can do this,

135
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: and he's waiting for that opportunity because you know, any

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Dolton's trying to cash a check in next year somewhere. Yeah, Isaiah,

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: it's a good point because he talked about that on

138
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter's podcast yesterday, how he's taken a long term

139
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: view of his career, and he's trying to set up

140
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the last half of his career, and he thinks that

141
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: this is a good move for him, at least for

142
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: this year. And he spoke about this too. Look, we're

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: all facing this COVID nineteen crisis across the country. And

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: for him, he has a home, he has his family

145
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: here in the Dallas area, So to not have to

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: pick up and move your family during an uncertain time

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: made sense for him. He said that that was a factor.

148
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: But you're right, you know, Mike McCarthy comes in. He

149
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: wants to develop the quarterback room. He talked about that

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: before the draft. So Ben Denucci's one edition, and now

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: you've got a guy in Dalton who says, look, I'm

152
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: willing to help however I can. I think he understands

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: his role. But it's an interesting move by the Cowboys

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: because it's a little bit of a departure from what

155
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: they've done in recent years. You know, I think it's

156
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: kind of started with Dak. They get Dak in the

157
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: fourth round and they develop him into a starter, and

158
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: they feel like, okay, let's go that route with our backups.

159
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: We can maybe go a little cheaper but we were

160
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: proven that we can develop young quarterbacks. It didn't work

161
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: with brand Weedon and Matt Castle, and that's that's where

162
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: the departure went. But now you know, this is like

163
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: you said, I think this was just too good an

164
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: opportunity to pass up for a number two guy. Well,

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: when it does, go for it in a sense, no, don't.

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Probably I agree with you. That says that they've stayed

167
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: away from competition in this particular room for a long time, right,

168
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: like like genuine real competition, not no disrespect to the

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: guys that have passed, like weeding the guys that you've mentioned, right,

170
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: But this is the first time that they've added anybody

171
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: of that that can truly challenge the starter aside from

172
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Deck right aside from Deck. When Dad came in and

173
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: Dak was the backup to Romo, that was the first

174
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: time that they really had any talent that could really

175
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: challenge that that starting the position. So I think that

176
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: this is an absolutely awesome move because it does make

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: that room more competitive in every other position. If you're

178
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: going to be competitive, why would you always steer away

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: from it at the quarterback position. You need somebody pushing

180
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: it in that regarded we're seeing the same thing happened

181
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yeah, and you saw that happen in

182
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay with Mike McCarthy at the Helm with Brett

183
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Farve and then of course Aaron Rodgers there as well.

184
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Now they're doing it again with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love,

185
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: and we'll see how that kind of works out. But

186
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a similar situation by any means.

187
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Now you're you're talking about your starting quarterback being twenty

188
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: six years old, and now you're backups thirty two and

189
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: has been to a couple of Pro Bowls and has

190
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: had a longer career and had ten seasons compared to

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: four seasons of being a quarterback in the NFL. And

192
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: I like what Rob kind of brought up in the

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: fact of it being the backside of Andy Dalton's career

194
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and him setting himself up for success. This is as

195
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: much of a gamble for Andy Dalton as it is

196
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and I think that's one of the

197
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: biggest things moving forward to look at. I believe we

198
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: have Heckma back with us. Are you here, Heckma Man?

199
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: You guys, you know I'm not I'm not made for

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: these technical difficulties man at all. And but yeah, I've

201
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: been listening to you guys trying to get these get

202
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: everything fixed. Look, I don't know as far as I

203
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: just wanted to tell you guys about my initial reaction

204
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: to the Andy Dalton signing. And I thought, like every well,

205
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: I hope, I thought, like everyone else, is that this

206
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: is just a continuation of the brilliance of the front

207
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: office signing a guy like Andy Dalton. I mean, for

208
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: years we've been needing a formidable backup and we got that.

209
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure Rob and Isaiah has already crossed this bridge,

210
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: but guys, I just felt this though there was no

211
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: conspiracy uh there. And maybe I'm just one of those

212
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: less woke people. I didn't I didn't see the conspiracy.

213
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: I didn't think that there was anything to the fact

214
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: that we signed uh Andy. The only thing I thought

215
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: was as brilliant, you know, brilliant on behalf of Will

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: McClay and Stephen Jones and Jerry. Like I said, the

217
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: front office just making this decision to bring in a

218
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: guy that if all else fails, we know that, Look,

219
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: we have a guy at the backup quarterback position. I

220
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: can win us one game. If you go back to

221
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Philadelphia last season, I believe that if we had Andy

222
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: Dalton healthy in a situation where you know, Dak Prescott's

223
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: shoulder is supplicated for the win to go to the playoffs,

224
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: I think we all trust Andy Dalton couldn't win us

225
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: a game. But because we had no faith in our backup,

226
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: we sent Dak out there and he struggled. Yeah, and

227
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much the shoulder limited

228
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: him in that game. I mean, I'm sure it did

229
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I but I do think what

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: it did was the lack of practice time seemed to

231
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: throw off his timing. So either way, you know, I

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: think the injury affected him in the biggest game of

233
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: the season, trying to make the playoffs. And and to

234
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you guys point, I was trying to go back and

235
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: think the last time the Cowboys had a backup quarterback

236
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: that they brought in, not Tony Romo who wound up

237
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: being won by by injury, but a guy they brought

238
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: in that was this accomplished and technically in his prime,

239
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean at thirty five years old. But well, you know,

240
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: they say Bernie Colsar maybe well, I woun't you thinking

241
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: about him maybe if you go that far back, because

242
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: but no, no, I mean Brad Brad Johnson in two

243
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: thousand and eight won a Super Bowl, but he was

244
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: thirty nine years old and when he played, he didn't

245
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: play well. And Rynald Cunningham in two thousand was thirty seven.

246
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: So although Dalton had a bad year last year, and

247
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: really Cincinnati overall had a bad year, it was a

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: tough year for the whole team. I still think he's

249
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of years left. Into Isaiah's point, I

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: think he's a guy that can that can still play

251
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: and has an opportunity, we'll have an opportunity to play

252
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: somewhere else next year as a starter. I think, yeah, right,

253
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean to your point, Robert, you're you're touching on

254
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: it on the fact that you know, last year's last year,

255
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: so un heck, both touched on the point that last year, right,

256
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: what an opportunity to go to the playoffs that was

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: forced to play, he had to play. Right now, your guys,

258
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: now you're putting yourself in a situation as an organization

259
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: where you can till you're your starter, right, your franchise

260
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: QB A chillout right, chillout, get healthy. He has it,

261
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: We have it covered. Right. He could win this. He

262
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: can win this this game. He can win us the

263
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: next game if we need to. We have a starter

264
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: at backup, a proven starter. Dot's not before just because

265
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: any Dolphins being a backup this year, he is a starter, right, Yeah, boys,

266
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: a baller. He's played with some subpard teams and taking

267
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: them to the playoffs on a continuous basis. Right, He's

268
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: had one premiere talent at receiver, right, and he went

269
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Now you're gonna come and bring him

270
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: to a team that's and completely loaded. Right, So if

271
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: something was to happen to Dad, you can allow for

272
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: him to get healthy, tell him to relax, chill out,

273
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: don't rush back. Let's get you right, because we need

274
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: you for the long haul. Long haul not only does season,

275
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: but we need you for the long haul for the

276
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: rest of your career to be here and be our

277
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: quarterback at Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, you're also doing in the

278
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: affair because you can say, hey, get in the game,

279
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: ball out, a show everybody that you can still play

280
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: win us these games that we need, right and for

281
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: this buffer time for Dad to get back if it

282
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: should that be the case, and then you go out

283
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: there and get the big bank next year. So it's

284
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: a perfect situa wishing for everybody. Yeah, Isaiah, that's that's

285
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: that's wonderful, And I believe that man, your spot on

286
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: and everything that you're saying. And Rob, I wanted to

287
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: to to allude to the Bernie Clozar comparison. You know,

288
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: in ninety three when we won the Super Bowl, we

289
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: signed Cols oar Mids. You know, I think after gossh

290
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: I believe it was he was released by the Cleveland

291
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: Browns mid season and he comes in and he wins

292
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He takes one snap and that was

293
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: the final snap of the of the Super Bowl to

294
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, eliminate the play clock. So hey, if Andy

295
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Dalton is coming on to do that, then let's do it,

296
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, Let's let's have this. But at the same time,

297
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: I think another part of the Andy Dalton signing is

298
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the fact that we're playing a lot of AFC teams

299
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: this year too. I think he's gonna be a guy

300
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna help Dak Prescott and the fact that we're

301
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: playing some teams that we like. The Pittsburgh Steellers. We

302
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: hadn't played them and what four or five years even

303
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens a lot of the other AFC competition that

304
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: will be facing. So I think he's gonna be and

305
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: visor as well and just eyes and ears for Dak

306
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: on the field off the field, and so I look

307
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: for this to be a great relationship in the quarterback

308
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: room from a proven veteran. DA can obviously help improve

309
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's game. That's the only thing I see here.

310
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't see this as a slight of Dak Prescott. Now.

311
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what the contract numbers are, none of that,

312
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: and there's been so much speculation about what it is.

313
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think that Andy Dalton

314
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: man the red rifle. I'm excited to see him here,

315
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Katie texas his own man. This is good. This is

316
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: good time to be a Cowboy fan. I tell him, well,

317
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: And Andy Dalton's contract is such a low rest, high

318
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: reward type of thing. Three million dollars and then the

319
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: rest of the contract could get up to seven. But

320
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: that's basically if he ends up going in and playing

321
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: a ton of the regular season games. If he is

322
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: just a backup. Over the course of the sixteen games

323
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: this year, he's gonna make three million dollars, which is

324
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: just a fraction more than what Cooper Rush was going

325
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: to make going into this season as well. But I know,

326
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: all of the things that we're saying are great, and

327
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: we're saying, hey, this is a backup that can come

328
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: in and win football games. This is a backup that's

329
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: going to teach everybody. I want to play Devil's advocate

330
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: here a little bit. Why isn't Andy Dalton a starter

331
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: right now? Why was he so bad in twenty nineteen

332
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati as a team decided to move on. I

333
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: know they ended up getting a pretty solid little first

334
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: first overall draft pick by the name of Joe Burrow.

335
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm certain of that. But at the same time, what

336
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: is wrong with Andy Dalton to the fact that he

337
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: isn't even in the conversation of being a starter in

338
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, I don't. I don't know that he wasn't.

339
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he talked about on Schefter's podcast that he

340
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: had multiple options, and I mean you can just go

341
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: around in the league and make it guesses. The Patriots

342
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, you know, Jacksonville needs a quarterback, or

343
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: at least they could bring in a guy that could

344
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: compete for the job. There's some teams out there that

345
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: I think they would they would like to have Andy

346
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Dalton on their team. Isaiah spoke to it. You know,

347
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: they haven't always had a ton of talent in Cincinnati,

348
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: and look like you said, Kyle, they got the number

349
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: one pick. Joe Burrow is a fantastic talent. They have

350
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: not won a playoff game since nineteen ninety, so they

351
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: decided it was time to go in a different direction.

352
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: But you know, Dalton did take them to the playoffs,

353
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: I believe his first five seasons, and in Cincinnati, that's

354
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: a franchise that hasn't won a lot of football and

355
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: in their history, So you know, I think he probably

356
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: had some options beyond beyond going to a place where

357
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: he's the clear backup. I bet he could. He could

358
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: have wound up somewhere to at least compete. Even that

359
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: it's even though the fact that it's already made. We

360
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: haven't got any reports, but I guarantee you that there

361
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: is at least five teams that that Andy Dalton could

362
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: have walked straight into the room. He just became the

363
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: starter immediately. Let's not forget this d was a Pro

364
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback. And I'm not talking about no second or third.

365
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, I just got in because somebody chose not

366
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: to go to the Pro Bowl type guy. This dude

367
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: was a legitimate Pro Bowl quarterback. He's a beast now,

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: so understand that in this league, for everybody's out there listening,

369
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: there's this thing called stress, right, and stress will wear

370
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: you down, right, whether it's in your in your regular,

371
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: regular jobs, or whether it's the premiere QB for entire

372
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: NFL organization. He has been bearing the stress of that

373
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: organization for nine was a nine years? Nine years? Yeah,

374
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: all right, he has been bearing that weight. Right. They

375
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: haven't been good, they haven't surrounded him with talent. He's

376
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: always had to find a way to make things happen.

377
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: They've had He's had to deal with his number one,

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: his number one resource, right AJ being injured a lot

379
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: of times, right, him having to try to figure out

380
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: a way to still win games. He has been in

381
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: a very stressful situation. I'm pretty sure that he has

382
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: gotten to the point where the game just wasn't that

383
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: fun for him anymore. Right, and once you start getting

384
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: to that point, it starts affecting every aspect of your life.

385
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: It affects your rework ethic, it affects your drive, it

386
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: affects your personality, affects your moves, it affects your family. Right. So,

387
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: if all that stuff is being of, all those things

388
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: are in the arms length of becoming just just crumbling

389
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: on you, then guess what. I need a refresher. I

390
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: need to step and I need to just reload and

391
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: get the love back for this game again. Right, So

392
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: let guess what. Let me go home right where it's home, Dallas.

393
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: Let me go home. Let me get my family situated.

394
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: Let me make sure that they're stable, make sure that

395
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: they're happy, because guess what, happy wife, happy life, Right,

396
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: take the stress off of myself in terms of being

397
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: the man and having to always have to put out

398
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: and have to figure out a way, and all the

399
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: media is always gonna be on me. Now I get

400
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: to sit back being a great organization to established organization.

401
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: I get to be on the high life. And in

402
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: terms of you know, once I leave here, I get

403
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: to walk into another situation because this is the media capital,

404
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: right in terms of football, and guess what I could

405
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: just chill, right, and then next year I can go

406
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: out and I'm a new guy again, under a new contract,

407
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: a new situation, and I could just reload and I

408
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: can refresh. So I think that's what this is for him.

409
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: It's absolutely need to trust me. I have been I

410
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: was there in my career. I actually walked away from

411
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: the NFL because I had gotten to that point. It's

412
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: just it wasn't worth it anymore, right, And I'm pretty

413
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: sure he's right on that edge, and he's like, man,

414
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: this is a perfect situation where I could just go

415
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: and I could chill for a year and then come

416
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: back ready to go. Man, read rifle under stress. I

417
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: don't know about that, Isaiah. I mean, look, man, you

418
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: know there's no better place to be and then a

419
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, And I mean, look, I'm just

420
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm joking with that. Man. I just don't think that.

421
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, maybe it

422
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: had something to do with happy wife, happy life. I

423
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: think it has more to do with the fact that, look, man,

424
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm coming to a point in my career where I'm

425
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: having to reassess and look at things differently. In Dallas,

426
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: is the place to be. It's a perfect opportunity for him.

427
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: And you're right. I mean, once the story is told

428
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: that he could have gone to New New England, maybe Pittsburgh,

429
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: some other places to be a backup quarterback. You know,

430
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: this is the This is the perfect scenario for a

431
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: guy like him. And look, man, if you just calmed

432
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: the league and look at guys that have have been

433
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: started quarterbacks that then went to be you know, career backups.

434
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, there are a ton of guys that have

435
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: been backups that one that went on to be head coaches.

436
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Maybe those are his aspirations and this is the perfect

437
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: incubator for that kind of desire. Look, I just look

438
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: at it like this. Andy Dalton is a guy that

439
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: has the capacity to win games still and he chose

440
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: to come to a team where he knows that, look,

441
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: they already have their lead dog. I can help this situation.

442
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: I see that being the move. And if that had

443
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: anything to do with the work stress that he was

444
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: under in Cincinnati, then so bid. I mean, but I

445
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: look at the first five years of his career, the kid,

446
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy that it was a winner, you know,

447
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, he and aj Green and the

448
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: host of other guys with them as well. But over

449
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: the last four years, I mean, that team has been

450
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: decimated by injuries and just the front office problems in coaching.

451
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, it has been a problem in Cincinnati, and

452
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: so yeah, man, maybe that's the thing that at the

453
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: end of the day, he was like, look, I'm sick

454
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: of all of this. The new coaching situation, us being

455
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: in the lottery getting the first pick in the draft

456
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with him on his watch

457
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: as well, Kyle, I appreciate you playing devil's advocate in

458
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: this situation, but look, man, all things being equal, we

459
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: got a pretty good guy, a pretty good backup for

460
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He did. And the thing is is he

461
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: had opportunities early in his career to win football games.

462
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: He's been in the Cincinnati organization for nine seasons. He

463
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: made five playoffs, and toward the end things kind of

464
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: trickled away in that Pitter pattered down the stretch. But

465
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: don't get us wrong, or don't get me wrong in

466
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: playing devil's advocate, this is a good quarterback. This is

467
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to be a starter at some point.

468
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that the Cowboys got him on a

469
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: relatively low money deal and the fact that it's a

470
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: low risk, higher reward situation and you can add to

471
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: a twenty six year old quarterback. I think it's a

472
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: fantastic signing. Whether or not it's Andy Dalton or Cam

473
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: Newton or anybody else like that, I don't. I think

474
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's a better quarterback than Cam Newton. But that's

475
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: a separate situation altogether. But I will say going forward,

476
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the fact that there's a

477
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: new member of the eighty eight club and there's an

478
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: expectation around Cede Lamb. Is it too high going into

479
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: his rookie season. We'll talk about that coming up next year.

480
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: On talking Cowboys, I'm Jay Novachek, former tight end for

481

483
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: I run with John Deer today. In fact, I have

520
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: and our Super Bowl champion Isaiah stand back and guys,

521
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: I have to apologize and I need to turn things

522
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: around really quickly and throw the brakes on something I

523
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: said before I went into my teas. I was trying

524
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: to go into my teas, but I left out a

525
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: couple of very crucial words. I said, Andy Dalton's a

526
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Cam Newton. I meant to say better

527
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: quarterback for this situation than Cam Newton, because I think

528
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton's on the field and he's healthy, I

529
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: think he's a better quarterback. Andy Dalton's healthy more, but

530
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: I still think Cam's better. But I just wanted to

531
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: clear that up. I know Hecke was about to just

532
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: lose his mind going into that last segment because of

533
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: what I had said, and I did say the wrong thing,

534
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: but I meant to say, better quarterback for this situation

535
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: is that better? Heck? Look, I was gonna let you

536
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: make it with a Kyle. I really was, man, I

537
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: was gonna let it go. Well, I appreciate you correcting it. Well,

538
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm glad that. I'm glad that I was able to

539
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: clear that up at least coming out of this next segment. Now,

540
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: I did want to kind of go into this conversation

541
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: of a new eighty eight in town. Cedee Lamb of

542
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: course selected seventeenth overall buy the Cowboys a couple weeks

543
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: ago during the twenty twenty NFL Draft, and the expectations

544
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: are there, guys, the fact that he's the best receiver

545
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: potentially in the twenty twenty draft. But I kind of

546
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: wanted to add maybe a question mark here. You're adding

547
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: the number eighty eight, and I know it's just a

548
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: jersey number. I know it's a whole big lore. It's

549
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna sell some extra jerseys. But the fact that you're

550
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: putting that number on a rookie I just kind of

551
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: want to get your conversation piece here in ISA. You're

552
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the only one that's had a number in the NFL.

553
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: Is there anything to it? The fact that there's an

554
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: eighty eight lure of guys like Dash, Brian Drew, Pearson,

555
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin that have worn that jersey before you and

556
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: carried on a legacy. Chrismut Mike, I'm probably the wrong

557
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: person to ask this question too, because I have never

558
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: been attached to numbers, right, I've always been the guy

559
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: who like, never number. You know, I will make my

560
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, make of it whatever I can based upon

561
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: my performance. Right. So the fact that the that the

562
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: owner of the organization that you just got drafted to

563
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: is saying, hey, you're wearing this jersey, right, I know

564
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: you want, but you're wearing Uncle Drew's number, You're wearing

565
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: Michael Irman's number, You're wearing Desert's number. This is what

566
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: you're doing. Um, I think that there is some pressure

567
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: that that's applied to that, right, and there's pressure that

568
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: he's not applying to himself as pressure that literally that

569
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Jerry is throwing on his shoulders before he can even

570
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: show up in town. So he is going to have

571
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: to perform based upon Jerry's expectations, right, not only his

572
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: expectations as a first round pick, but his expectations of

573
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: what that number symbolizes for this organization. So there is wait,

574
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: let's not, let's let's not you know, a kid ourselves.

575
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: There's this weight that comes with that. But I don't

576
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: want him to apply that that pressure to himself. I

577
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: hope that he can just come out here, ball out

578
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: like he like he knows how to do, play free.

579
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: But there's going to be that population, including the person

580
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: who writes his checks, that are expecting that that type

581
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: of performance that comes with that number. And Isaiah real

582
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: quickly kind of based off of what you were saying,

583
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about the owner's expectations, and you're talking about

584
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: the expectation of wearing eighty eight. What are those expectations?

585
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where I'm leaving this question because

586
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight. I mean I mentioned the three names already.

587
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: It's it's either Hall of Fame or Hall of Fame

588
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: caliber for a good amount of time type of production here.

589
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: Is that The expectation that's put on him from Jerry Jones? Absolutely? Wow? Absolutely.

590
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean it sucks for him, right, it sucks for him.

591
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, hopefully he's just come

592
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: in and just not even think about it. He's gonna

593
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: continually get reminded about it. But he really needs to

594
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: just come in and play free. That is expectations. I mean,

595
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: let's not kid ourselves in an eighty eight Bears way.

596
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, Uncle Drew was a beast. You know, Mike

597
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: was a beast. Dez was a beast. Unfortunately, you know,

598
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: his career kind of got cut short, but you know

599
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: he was on that on that path as well. And

600
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think that CD will come in and

601
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: take care of business. It's not fair to put that

602
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of pressure on somebody. I think that probably Dallas

603
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: is probably one of the few spots in the entire

604
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: league where there are a number has that much significance

605
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: at a particular position. So you know, he's got to

606
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: deal with it. But he'll be all right. Yeah, there's

607
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: some numbers in this franchise that just don't get reused.

608
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, eighty eight's not one of them. Eight seems

609
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: to be one of them. Twenty two seems to be

610
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: one of them. I'm with Isaiah. I mean, when you

611
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: get eighty eight here though, it's my Michael Irvin, because

612
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin's is talking about it in the media now

613
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: this week talking about what it means. So immediately there's

614
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: it restores the tradition and the memories and what that

615
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: number has been associated with. Drew Pearson as well does Bryant.

616
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: I will say that coming into this situation, he doesn't

617
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: have to be the savior of this offense. He doesn't

618
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: even have to be the top two wide receivers, you know,

619
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: the top the top guy is making twenty million bucks

620
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: a year. He just needs to come in and that's

621
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: a MARII Cooper CD just needs to come in and

622
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: fill his role. And I think based on the talent

623
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: of this offense, I think that eases some of the pressure.

624
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Even though clearly eighty eight it's always linked to greatness. Basically, yeah, man,

625
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean for me and my generation, man, eighty eight

626
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: is is all Michael Irvin. You know, everybody knows Drew

627
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Pearson before Mike has set the standard for eighty eight.

628
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: But man, you know it's you talk about the pressure, right,

629
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: You talk about the pressure and the number, and the

630
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had those numbers that no one will wear.

631
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Twelve twenty two other numbers that we know are legendary numbers.

632
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: But eighty eight is synonymous with greatness at the wide

633
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: receiver position, just like fifty four. I mean, that's right.

634
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean all of these numbers are reminiscent. And if

635
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: you look through the halls of the Dallas Cowboys, these

636
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: numbers mean something if you look at other teams. Seventy

637
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: five means something in Pittsburgh, right, And so we talk

638
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: about the pressure that Cede Lamb may be under, but

639
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, you know, look, he

640
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be under pressure whether he wore ten or

641
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: whatever number he will wore. And so, well, like the

642
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: saying goes pressure bus pipes or makes diamonds guys, exhibit eight,

643
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: we got a diamond right here, and so this should

644
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: be nothing for CD Lamb. He walks into a situation

645
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Taylor made for a young guy where there's already dogs

646
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: there to help him and groom that talent. All he

647
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: has to come in and do is playball, and I

648
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna look beautiful in those two eights on

649
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: his back. You know what I didn't realize, Heck, was

650
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: that I think twelve guys have worn the number, like

651
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: Jackie Harris wore the number in two thousand or eighty eight,

652
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: Antonio Bryant when he got drafted, and I think two

653
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: thousand two, yeah, Antonio Bryant. Yeah, but yeah, there's only

654
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: three guys you ever associated with, and for good reason.

655
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Right of course, Now it does kind of help. And

656
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned this a little bit earlier. I think both

657
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah and Heck touched on the oh and well where

658
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: I touched on it too, So all three of you.

659
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: But the fact that you don't have to come in

660
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: and be the star, even though that number is associated

661
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: with being a star, that's not the expectation year one.

662
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: It might be year three, four five, potentially, but year one,

663
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: you're coming into an offense that has Michael Gallup Anamari

664
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Cooper and you're able to open things up. How we

665
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: haven't seen an NFL season that has had an individual

666
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: team that's had three separate one thousand yard receivers since

667
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: I believe two thousand and eight when the Cardinals did it.

668
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity the Cowboys even have a chance

669
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: to reach that kind of mark where we have three

670
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: separate thousand yard receivers and then also have touches for

671
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: your running back and Ezekiel Elliott and also maybe even

672
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: some receptions for Blake Jarwin. Absolutely, I mean the NFL

673
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: is wide open now. This is a passing league, and

674
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: so it's about time that we see that three thousand

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: yard receivers on the same same team and also a

676
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: potential Hall of Fame running back. I'm putting that pressure

677
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: on Ezekiel Elliott, but guys, that's the kind of team

678
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: that we have, and that's how fast we're gonna play.

679
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: If you look at Mike McCarthy and what he did

680
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: in his tenure at Green Bay, he liked to pay,

681
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: he liked to play up tempo pace and passing the

682
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: ball around. So I see the same thing being added

683
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: here at the Dallas Cowboys with how we're going to

684
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: play timing pace in the passing game. So that's foreseeable

685
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: for three receivers to have a thousand yards. I don't know. Heck,

686
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know, I know, I know you've

687
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: been over there playing Madden. You know what I'm saying. Yes,

688
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: normally ride with you, but I can't ride with you

689
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: on this one. Man. At three thousand yards receivers is crazy. Right,

690
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It is a lot in Isaiah, let

691
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: me Isaiah, let me ask you this. Let me ask

692
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: you this, Isaiah. Last year, how many yards did Cobb have?

693
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I think cob finished with eight hundred yards eight hundred,

694
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: uh combined for this for the season. I mean that's

695
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean he was one hundred and sixty away from

696
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: being a thousand yard receivers. So look that's the same.

697
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you take out some of those drops, he's there. Uh.

698
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: And so we might have had that last year if

699
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: you just look at the numbers from galloping Cooper. So

700
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it's not like I'm far man,

701
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: I feel you. However, there's there's more weapons this year

702
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: significantly when there was last year. Just just straight up

703
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: off off the draft alone, right, you have absolutely just

704
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: you have two. You gotta you got a dog at

705
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: running back, right, you have a tight end that you

706
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: think has some gold juice. Right, you got Coop who

707
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: you paying him? You're paying him over a million dollars

708
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: a game. He gonna get the rock every game. Right,

709
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna force him the ball. He's getting force fed.

710
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: He can be as quiet as he wants to. He's

711
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball at least ten seven to ten

712
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: attempts a game. Right, and then you got CD that's

713
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna be on the inside. You gotta gallop. On the

714
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: other side, you have five guys that you have to

715
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: spread the ball out to. Right, if you really want

716
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: to say, you could take away You're tight end and

717
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: you could take away Gallop. Right, there's still three guys

718
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: that you're going to be forced feeding the ball to.

719
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: It is gonna be hard for those guys all to

720
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: get get up the proper amount of touches while still

721
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: maintain the main goal, which is what move the ball.

722
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: Modistick get touched in. Yes, right, it's not going to

723
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: be focused on one guy getting the ball. It's gonna

724
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: be spread out. Whoever's open gets to rock. Hopefully that's

725
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: the way it is. And I just it's gonna be

726
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: hard to for guys to eat like that. So what

727
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: you're what you're piping for and is that everybody can

728
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: perform well. You don't need anybody to perform great. You

729
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: don't need it, right, You just need everybody to perform well.

730
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: And that's the that's the positive side about taking having

731
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: all his talent on one team and being able to

732
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: take down that pressure by position. He also head got well,

733
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: heck just got me rethinking that that hypothetical right there

734
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: when I looked it up. Randald cop did have eight

735
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight yards last year. Yeah, that was

736
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: that's that was approaching a thousand. But but I'm with

737
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: Isaiah that that seems that seems tough to accomplish, especially

738
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: if Zeke is going to be heavily involved, like Mike

739
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy says he still will be. And and remember, you know,

740
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: this defense has made some some good additions and they're

741
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to revamp things. But you may want to

742
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: lean on your running game to try to protach the

743
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: defense in some games this year. So the more you

744
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: do that, the less opportunities you've got to really spread

745
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: it around. Even though there's no question they've got the

746
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: potential to be a wide open passing offense, and while

747
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: we're throwing in last season as the comparative season of

748
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: trying to get three thousand yard receivers, I don't know

749
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: if you want that to be fair. And kind of

750
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: going back to Rob's point, you want your running back

751
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: to have touches. You don't want to be eight and

752
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: eight and behind in games to the fact that you're

753
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: trying to throw the football late and get these guys open. Sure,

754
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 1: they're going to be open because they're three stud wide

755
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: receivers and they're going to find their way open. They're

756
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: going to have their fair share of production, but you

757
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want all three of those guys just getting

758
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: the ball thrown to them as much as they had.

759
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Dak had a forty nine hundred yard passing Yeah, forty

760
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: nine hundred yard passing season last year. The fact that

761
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: you even had that was because you were behind Layton games.

762
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: You were throwing the ball when you didn't really want to.

763
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the running game is the prime

764
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 1: or focus here, but it's a focus that's gonna help

765
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: you win football games and help you close out games

766
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: late instead of throwing the football, and it's gonna help

767
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: you move the sticks and like Rob said, help your

768
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: defense at the same time, and it's still a defense

769
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: that has some holes. It does sound wow. Now I

770
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: thought you were the vice president of Team forty Burger.

771
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: What happened to you? Bro? I was I wasn't necessarily

772
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: on Team forty get Burger unless Cede Lamb was involved.

773
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: That was the thing is, I just didn't believe Ceedee

774
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: Lamb was going to fall to seventeen. So I took

775
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: myself out of Team forty Burger. I'm running a half

776
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: marathon because of it. In a couple so, the fact

777
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: that I was even a part of Team forty Burger

778
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: was solely based on the falling of Cede Lamb to seventeen.

779
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: So even with that being said, you gotta you gotta

780
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: have the balance between the two. You have a ninety

781
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: million dollar running back in the backfield and Tony Pollard,

782
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: who I think is an underdog in this statement as well.

783
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: I think Tony Pollard's gonna have a great year in

784
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: terms of coming out of the backfield, opening things up

785
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: for an offense that's gonna see more of a modern look.

786
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: So I think with the combination of Zeke and Pollard

787
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield along with these wide receivers is more

788
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: exciting than let's just throw the ball everywhere. Yeah. Now,

789
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll just say you're absolutely right. I mean, but I

790
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: want everybody to remember that the whole intention of the

791
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: offense is to move the sticks right consumer time, move

792
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: the sticks right. And that's the premise, right, It's not

793
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: about having these receivers that go off and have you know,

794
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: these two yard twohundred yard games. You don't need it, right,

795
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: Is it nice to talk about? Yeah, it gives us

796
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: a lot of material to come out here to talk about,

797
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: but you don't need it if you have guys and

798
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: where you're where you got three receivers that all had

799
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, five six catches, you know, seventy five yards,

800
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: eighty yards. You know, that's that's awesome because that means

801
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: that Zeke has about two touchdowns. Tell, you know, telling

802
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: the thing back there, Dak might have it. So it's

803
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: so you want to well balanced offense, and you want

804
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: an offense that has threats at every position that you

805
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: can't key in on guys, you can't double team guys.

806
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: You want it to that defenses can't win. And that's

807
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: really what you're aiming for and I think that's when

808
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy has done, along with Will and arrest of the squad.

809
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: So hats off to them. I don't think we need

810
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: one thousand yard receiver. Can we get it? Heck, yes

811
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: we could. If we really want to have a thousand

812
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: yard receiver, we can have one. Um you know, if

813
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: we should have one with somebody getting paid over million

814
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: dollars a game. So yeah, we could have it. But

815
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: but it's not necessary with this particular offense. Isaiah, Isaiah, you,

816
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: like I said, Man, if you look around at the

817
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: NFL right now and you look at the way these

818
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: defensive schemes are. Our dbs are playing off of receivers. Man,

819
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: when you were here the Cowboys, that guys were playing

820
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: you that far off the ball, Man, you still be playing, Isaiah.

821
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: So I mean, you look, that's just that's the way

822
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: the NFL is going these days. And so I mean

823
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: it's it's fast. It's a fast place in Yes, Kyle,

824
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: you make a great point. Dak Prescott forty nine hundred yards,

825
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, throwing on the year, you don't want that.

826
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: If you look at those numbers universally all over the league,

827
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: that typically is in an indicator that you had a

828
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: bad season, you were playing from behind. But that may

829
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: not be the case anymore in this new NFL. We

830
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: win one game, and I know if if we win

831
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: the game in Philly, that same offense goes into the playoffs,

832
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: and then what are we saying is that the new

833
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: model for success in the NFL. I don't know. It's

834
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: just hard to throw that away, especially as quick as

835
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to strike at all three wide

836
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: receiver positions and also with our running back man. Look,

837
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm the person I love the three yards in a

838
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: cloud of dust philosophy, but I do understand things have

839
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: changed and offenses are wide open now to get the

840
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: ball out of your hand, get the ball at the

841
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: quarterback's hands early, and they are striking. I mean, you

842
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City's offense. They are seventy There are

843
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: seventy five yard play waiting to happen. Everybody is emulating that.

844
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: And so look, that's what get the people in the season,

845
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: that's what the fans are clamoring for, and that's what

846
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna give them. That's fair. But you know what

847
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: we talked about on past shows is with the weapons

848
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: they have in the passing game and the ability to

849
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: spread them out. That should help Zeke. That should create

850
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: running lanes for him and allow him to basically create

851
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: that pick your poison offense, like I think based on

852
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: having those guys on the outside in the slot, you

853
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: can be more balanced instead of instead of being just

854
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: one particular way. I think. I think it actually helps

855
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: the overall offense. But it is fun to think about.

856
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: I didn't know that O eight was the last time

857
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: where the Cardinals were last team to do it. That's cool,

858
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: that's cool. That is Madden numbers right there. There's no

859
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: doubt about it. It's bad numbers. And you gotta have

860
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: the combination. You gotta have the balance between the three

861
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: yards in a cloud of dust like just said, and

862
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: the lightning in a bottle, the quick strik ability, and

863
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have the opportunity to do both.

864
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna have a good offense, you need

865
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: a good defense as well. The Cowboys have continued to

866
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: add some of that defensive talent over the course of

867
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: the offseason. But are they done yet. I don't think

868
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: they're done yet. We're going to talk about that when

869
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,000

00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: keeping things normal, keeping things fresh throughout these crazy times.

920
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: Hope you're staying safe out their final segment though here

921
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 1: if talking Cowboys, heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah standback, Rob Phillips.

922
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's and I mentioned this going into the

923
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: last break, guys, but the Cowboys continuing to add talent

924
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: on defense, and before we get into the fact that

925
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they're done adding talent just yet, I

926
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about Darryl Worley, Corner third round pick

927
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen, A relatively young corner but with

928
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: starting experience. Forty nine of his fifty six games played

929
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: have been starts five interceptions over four seasons in the NFL.

930
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: He has been added to this defense and rob it

931
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: kind of adds to the shift that we're starting to

932
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: see in this secondary for the Cowboys and Mike Nolan

933
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: just wanting these longer athletic corners to go along with

934
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: guys like Trey von Day as well. First off, a

935
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: happy early birthday to you based on your early live

936
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: read that you just said. Yes, Kyle Geoman's appreciated tomorrow.

937
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: Um uh to your point talking about DBS. We got

938
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: off the show last Tuesday and Will McClay, VP of

939
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: Player Personnel, did a call with the media and talked

940
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: about that very point. And this is kind of the

941
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: Heckman's point last segment, with the way offenses are now

942
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: spreading out, getting bigger, faster receivers. Um, they want guys

943
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: that can play press coverage, especially with what they want

944
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: to try to do defensively, guys that can disrupt receivers

945
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. They felt like the runs

946
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: on corners kind of went a little differently than normal,

947
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: uh in this in this particular draft, and they were

948
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: able to get Digs and Robinson maybe later than than

949
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: they should have gone. And and so then you add Worley,

950
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: a guy that's six one, two fifteen. He just continues

951
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: that philosophy. He's he's a press guy. He can he's

952
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: a physical corner. And I thought it was interesting that

953
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: he played safety for the Raiders for a couple a

954
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: couple of games at the end of the last season,

955
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: just because they needed they I think they cut d J.

956
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: Sweringer and they needed a guy to step in there.

957
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: So once again it's another guy they can come in

958
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: and play multiple spots for you on defense. You know what, boy,

959
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: rob I just want to choke you sometime when you

960
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: take my points like that man so effortlessly. But that's

961
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: what I think. The same about Worally and his ability.

962
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: And you talked about the presser for Will McClay, and

963
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: also before I believe Mike McCarthy was talking about some

964
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: of these guys, that's some of the picks and some

965
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: of the guys that we have in the dB room

966
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: being able to convert to safety. And Worally is that

967
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: that guy that we got that can be a tweeter

968
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: or a hybrid corner safety as well, and so I

969
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: looked for him because of his experience to be added

970
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: to that already a lot of depth in that DV room.

971
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that is going to be able

972
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: to benefit these younger guys, be a benefit to these

973
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: younger guys, but also make a contribution no matter where

974
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: you put him. And again for us and what I've been,

975
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, just clamoring over is the fact that we

976
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: need a special team's dog. We need more guys that

977
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: can come in and contribute because that's where we suffered.

978
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: I see Worldly as being a guy that can contribute

979
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: there as well. But no matter what, you know, he's

980
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: that hybrid guy that can play safety and in corner. Heck,

981
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: when this is all over, man, I can't wait to

982
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: get back in studio. You can get your hands on me.

983
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: I care, man, It's all good, man. I can say

984
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm gonna keep

985
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: saying I keep saying it. Our Harris, Harris. This dude

986
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: is over there river dancing right now. Would you care

987
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: to would you care to give us an exhibition? Isaiah riverdancing?

988
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: You believe risk give it to you. But these guys.

989
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: They just keep adding the perfect, the perfect, you know,

990
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: size corners. These guys are. You know, we talked about

991
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: last week, you know, we talked about guys that our attitude.

992
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: We talked about guys that had little nanciness to him.

993
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: This dude is a pest, right, he's six one, two fifteen.

994
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all know this out there. That

995
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: is a sizeable corner. That's that's not just a tall,

996
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: skinny corner. That's a corner that has some weight to him.

997
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: He's not moving right. And we keep talking about that

998
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: front seven and how and how solid of a front

999
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: seven we've been able to put together. If those guys

1000
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: are adding pressure, they're pushing the pocket and you're able

1001
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: to disrupt the receiver at the line of scrimmage, it

1002
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: is going to suck for offenses. Routes have to be

1003
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: so pristine, Routes have to be so on point for

1004
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: guys that even remotely get open. Because you have a

1005
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: six one dude that has and it has Ijanda hands,

1006
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: that has punched you in your dog on chess at

1007
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: the line of scriptage and not letting you get your

1008
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: timing right. And you have those guys up front. It

1009
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: is the perfect scenario for everybody that's coaching this defense.

1010
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: The Cowboys lize. I know we're talking a lot about offense,

1011
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking a lot more about their defense.

1012
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: I unexpect, because these dudes are gonna have they're they're

1013
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna ask some problems. Isaiah, what did you say he's

1014
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: doing the river dance? Yeah, here's my question, go ahead, nook.

1015
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: My question though, based on that philosophy of those those

1016
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: big corners, like can Jordan Lewis catch a break him here? Yeah?

1017
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: Because he because he didn't fit that role. He's five

1018
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: tens whatever he is, and and like Isaiah said, like

1019
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: he's got he's got some dogging and that guy's a

1020
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: competitor back there. But I don't know, I don't know

1021
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: what this means for him in terms of his role.

1022
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: If if that's what they prefer, those bigger, longer corners, well,

1023
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: and you also can go ahead for heck, I was

1024
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: just saying that Jordan Lewis is one of my favorites.

1025
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: I think that he is a he's so tough, you know,

1026
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: he's a tough guys. Unfortunate that he got injured. And

1027
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: but again Anthony Brown stepped in and played really well

1028
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: until he got injured as well. I mean, but this

1029
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: this has given us these guys that are mallers at

1030
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and that is who Worldly is.

1031
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: He comes in with that tough North Philly attitude and

1032
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: a guy that comes that also has some things in

1033
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: his background as well, looking to make a fresh start.

1034
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: He was able to get that with the Raiders. But

1035
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: you know again that you're you're right when you talk

1036
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: about Al Harris and the group that he has. I mean,

1037
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: he has a bunch of guys that are salty and

1038
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: he knows that. And I look forward to this cowboy defense,

1039
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: especially on the back end, just being a bunch of

1040
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be flying around trying to

1041
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: get those interceptions and take it to the house. And

1042
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: just the size alone, the size alone of our defense

1043
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: where we went from shorter guys up front, maybe smaller

1044
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: guys at the dB position. Just look at how much

1045
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: bigger this team has gotten in a very short period

1046
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: of time. Well, I think it also, I think it

1047
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: speaks to the switch to what maybe Mike McCarthy and

1048
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan are thinking, what some of these corners going

1049
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: to the safety spot. And I know Cheeto Eoosia has

1050
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: been thrown into that conversation. I don't know if he

1051
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: would be better, if Jordan Lewis would be better for

1052
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: a switch there. And I kind of wanted to get

1053
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: you guys's opinion on this, But if they were to

1054
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: take some of these true corners and move them to safety,

1055
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: who would be the best to fit that role just

1056
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 1: because they don't necessarily fit the role of a longer corner.

1057
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: I think Cheeto's going back there. I'll say it a

1058
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: couple Okay, so I think they're moving Cheetah back there.

1059
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean they got Cheeto and they gohaha, right, And

1060
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: we talk about how they're not going to have to

1061
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: be true true safeties in terms of being able to

1062
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: come in and roll Tate down and field a box.

1063
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have to do that. Are our boys

1064
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: up front are going to take care of that? Don't

1065
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: I need people to really recognize how serious of a

1066
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: front seven we have right now? Right? And like I said,

1067
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: even if we get one of those guys right, it

1068
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter which guy comes off as suspension. If we

1069
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: get one of those guys that front seven is stat right.

1070
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: If we can keep Lee healthy, then that's even more

1071
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: of a problem. Right, But those guys are literally all

1072
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: they need to be as ball hawks. Right, You're gonna

1073
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: put two six one guys out there on the edges

1074
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: to put hands on guy's chest as soon as they

1075
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: come off the line of scrimmage. Every single play, they're

1076
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: gonna have their hands on somebody's chest. So that's half

1077
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: a second gone, that's that's disrupted their route running. And

1078
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 1: then you got those guys over the top that have speed,

1079
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: that are long, that are arrange you, that can go

1080
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline just in case the ball gets thrown

1081
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: up there. So these guys aren't gonna have to come

1082
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: up here and laid a big stick. They don't have

1083
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: to knock nobody out. You don't need Earl Thomas, you

1084
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: don't need a cam Chancellor. You need these guys that

1085
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: can run around and snag these balls that are gonna

1086
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: be thrown up there. Because of this front, Seven's pushing

1087
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: the pocket and quarterbacks are gonna be making these indecisive throws.

1088
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: And I think that Jordan Lewis is gonna have a

1089
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: bit of a role still in that defense. I mean

1090
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he's better in the slot, and I

1091
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: mean that's gonna come up. Look what Philadelphia did with

1092
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: their first overall pick and or their first round pick

1093
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Ragers, receiver from Waxahatchie and TCU. He's gonna have

1094
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: to have some good games or somebody good to cover

1095
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the rivalry with Philadelphia then also

1096
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: any of the other sixteen games. I think Lewis fits

1097
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: better in the slot. But Isaiah, you kind of went

1098
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: back to the front seven, and I agree. I think

1099
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: the front seven is better this year than it was

1100
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: that last year, and I think they've continued to upgrade

1101
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: those spots. But I was asked last week on one

1102
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: oh five through the fan and our friends over there.

1103
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: They asked me, what's the biggest hole on this Cowboys

1104
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: team so far? And I didn't really know how to

1105
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: answer to Originally I was thinking either left guard or

1106
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,479
Speaker 1: right defensive end. And the only reason I leaned toward

1107
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: right defensive end is because it's a huge if. Still

1108
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: if Alden Smith and Randy Gregory, either one of those

1109
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: guys get reinstated, sure it'll help out. I just don't

1110
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm still not totally sold on either one of those guys.

1111
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: One hasn't been in the league for a multitude of years,

1112
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: the other one hasn't necessarily produced as much as you

1113
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: would think for a guy that had his caliber coming

1114
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: out of college. So I bring that question to you,

1115
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: right defensive end, could you still add some spots to there?

1116
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: Because you've already grabbed Bradley and I but is there

1117
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: anybody else that you could go out and potentially grab?

1118
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not necessarily saying a Gadavian Clowney or a

1119
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: Griffin or anybody like that, just something else depth wise,

1120
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: So that right defensive indspot, I think you definitely ask

1121
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: some depth. I mean you never can. Obviously, these guys

1122
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: are focused on adding depth at every position, regardless of

1123
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: the competition. So I think we definitely can ask some

1124
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: more depth there. Do I feel like that's a whole? No,

1125
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: I don't believe that's a whole. I think we're going

1126
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: to get one of those guys off of suspension. I

1127
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be perfectly fined up there. I do

1128
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: want to add another linebacker. I want to add another

1129
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: linebacker because you know, obviously Lee like me, has had

1130
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, injury issues. You know, some things you just

1131
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: can't prevent. But we need somebody to fill that position

1132
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: just in case, right, Um, I think that if he's

1133
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: not in there, I think there's going to be a

1134
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: substantial hole there and you need somebody that has has

1135
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: the stature and then has the drive as as Jaylen

1136
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: Smith and vander As. I think you need some guys

1137
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: like those guys that are going to fulfill that role

1138
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: to be able to run and feel those gaps. But

1139
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: those those some big dudes that are that are moving

1140
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: at a high at a high rate. So I think

1141
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: you can't afford to lose at that position. To office

1142
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: a line I'm not worried about that either. I think

1143
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: we're good there. So yes, we can add another in

1144
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: just for insurance policy, but I prefer to add another

1145
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: linebacker at this point. I agree. I was thinking linebacker

1146
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: too when you guys were talking, And you know, kind

1147
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: of depends on what the new staff thinks about some

1148
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: of the young guys that are on this roster that

1149
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: we don't maybe know yet, you know, because Luke Gifford's

1150
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: a guy that that flashed before he got hurt last

1151
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: year at linebacker. Uh, maybe maybe they're high on him. Um,

1152
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: what do they feel about Dorance Armstrong and Jalen Jelks

1153
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: You know somebody I was thinking about Jelks, Yeah, Joe Jackson.

1154
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: Guys they drafted last year. We're not really sure, you know.

1155
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: So those are young players that they thought had promised

1156
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: last year. But it just depends on, you know, if

1157
00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: you bring in a new coaching staff and what they

1158
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: think those guys. Yeah, I think a lot of the

1159
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: story is starting to come together on what they think

1160
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: about guys based off of the free agents that they're

1161
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: bringing in. And so I just believe that when you

1162
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: to your original to your question Kyle about how we

1163
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: feel about, you know, implementing new guys to the deep,

1164
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: right end or offensive line, you know, I believe that

1165
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: those questions are there for the defensive, for the right

1166
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: end position because of what we lost and what's hanging

1167
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: in the balance for guys getting reinstated. So look all things,

1168
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: I just feel as though we are in a position,

1169
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: in a very positive position with Aldon Smith and Randy

1170
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: Gregory being reinstated and all of those things happening. I

1171
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: believe that you feel comfortable going into the season with

1172
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: the NI Gregory and Smith and fighting it out during

1173
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: two of days. But with the team like this, you

1174
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: can never have enough guys at the linebacker position. I mean,

1175
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: with the way if they're going to play that three

1176
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: four four three hybrid, those are the positions dbs linebackers

1177
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to be Trump type on those.

1178
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: And so you see the Cowboys getting all those dbs.

1179
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: But obviously they're satisfied with the guys that they have

1180
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position. And also if you're going to

1181
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: make any moves, look, you can be patient with that

1182
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be a number of guys that I

1183
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: said last week, they're gonna be a number of guys

1184
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: that are gonna be cut. Free agency is gonna ramp

1185
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: back up here in a minute, and you may have

1186
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a guy that you may not

1187
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: necessarily thought would have been that have landed to you. Well,

1188
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: when we talked about it last week, we didn't think

1189
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were done. We thought they were going to

1190
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: add a couple of guys. They did just that. Darryl

1191
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: Worley was signed a couple hours after we got off

1192
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: the year last Tuesday. And then you turn around and

1193
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is now a Dallas Cowboy as well. I

1194
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: don't think they're done. I think they're still adding and

1195
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have maybe somebody to talk about

1196
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: next week at a new Dallas Cowboy heading into next Tuesday.

1197
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for this Tuesday's addition of

1198
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. Have a Cinco de mayo to everybody out there,

1199
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: and hope you're staying safe, staying indoors, and we continue

1200
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: to push toward football. But for now, for heck By Harrison,
