Speaker 1: talks continue in this offseason for the Cowboys, and we've

11
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about. I mean, the last time

12
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: that we were on the air on Tuesday, we were

13
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: talking about checklists. We were talking about what you could

14
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: do to set yourself up for success over the next week.

15
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Safe to say, they have done quite a few things

16
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: on those checklists. Now are they done? Are the Cowboys

17
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: done yet? No, There's a long way to go this offseason,

18
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure by the time we get back on

19
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: the year next week some more stuff will happen. However,

20
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to talk about, both good, both

21
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,600

Speaker 1: were out of sales service. I was that's the best count.

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was out of the country on a boat. Yeah, Cosumel,

27

Speaker 1: my friend. Oh, yes, you've been having a great offseason.

28
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Ye Did I have too many Miller lights? Maybe? Maybe?

29
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Did I need a couple more black rifle coffees this

30
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: morning to get that? Probably? Yeah? Yeah? Did uh? Did

Speaker 1: I have an absolute blast? One thousand percent? What matters? Oh,

32
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was so much fun at a blast

33
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: twelve twelve of us and we all just went on

34
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: a cruise nice throughout the whole of cruises. And that's

35
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: that's been my It was my bachelor party, by the way,

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: for those listening, the uh that's been That's been my

37
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: favorite part about this, about this whole wedding process. Question

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: is in Cosmel, did Denton Kyle show up? Oh? He

39
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: was there far they got there. Yeah. They have like

40
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: a drink limit. Yeah, they have like the fifteen minute

41
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: drink or the fifteen drink limit per day on the boat.

42
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: That was like he just blew right there, Um the

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: U turn up. I need a detox, is what I mean.

44
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: The biggest thing about this whole wedding process, the first

45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: off is being able to spend it with Lorena and

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: go through it with her, and this has been so

47
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: much fun. The second best part is being able to

48
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: hang around friends and family, and so I'm excited to

49
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: see that continue. But I had a blast. It was

50
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: so much fun. I'm glad to be back though, because,

51
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I didn't have cell service, so you

52
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: few things. That was kind of my point as I

53
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: got back. And this is where we have to lead off.

54
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: So I want you to tell me Patrick news and notes,

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: everything that happened over the last seven days, Like I

56
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't know it, and this just imagine not knowing this

57
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: and then getting back to it. Fair enough, Well, let's

58
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: start news and notes by saying this. I did say

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: there was a big move that was likely going to

60
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: land by the time we spoke again today, Cowboys doubled

61
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: up on that and said, you know what, No, c

62
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: We'll see your big move and we'll raise you a note, Okay,

63
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: So we're going to do a quick little rundown here

64
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and forgive me if there's anything that I that I missed.

65
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: But there's been quite a bit of movement over the

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: past week. So we have the Ezekiel Elliott release. Obviously,

67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: that's the headline move for the Cowboys in free agency.

68
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: They opted to move on from the franchise's third best

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: all time leading rusher. That's going to obviously clear the

70
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: way for Tony Pollard to take that throne. Pollard is

71
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: still recovering from the fractured leg suffered in the NFL

72
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: NFC Divisional Round, but the Cowboys have resigned as of

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: this morning, or he'll be in the resign this morning.

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Rico dowdle so he's going to be back for depth

75
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: to battle Malite Davis behind Tony Pollard. Then, but they

76
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: also met with two time Super Bowl champion, former second

77
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: round pick Ronald Jones on Monday and they really liked him,

78
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: and I'm told the expectations that he signs this morning.

79
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: So past couple of days heavy on the running backs.

80
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Dalton Shots yesterday signed with the Houston Texas on a

81
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: one year, nine million dollar max deal. So kudos to

82
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Dalton shots. He got a bag down there in Houston.

83
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Clears the way obviously here in Dallas for Jake Ferguson,

84
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: hay hinder shot and likely a tight end being drafted

85
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys. Jake McQuoid, long snapper for the Cowboys,

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: former long snapper for the Cowboys, is now with the

87
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions ticket Cowboys. Why is that the one freaking egg?

88
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Why it's Jake McQuaid. I don't give a dog on

89
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: If it's freaking Teddy Brewster, you need dog on the

90
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: long snapper. I agree, long snappers do matter. We let

91
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: go of LP For those that say they don't matter,

92
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: they do. Until they found McQuaid, it was fine. Hopefully

93
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: we can find somebody else well nice seg because they're

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: working on one right now, potentially bringing in Trent Siege,

95
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: is am I'm pronouncing that right, Yeah, I believe so yeah, okay,

96
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: So there's a very good chance that Trent Siege takes

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: the place of McQuaid. Now, Matt Overton is still out there.

98
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: I would expect that maybe they give Overton a look

99
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: closer to training camp if something's not going quite quite

100
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: white with Sigue but they have a formula for replacing

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: the long snapper, and they're going younger there because Siege

102
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: it's quite a bit younger and cheaper seven yeah, than

103
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: both Matt Overton and Jake McQuay. So they're going younger there.

104
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: Played with the Ravens and the Raiders see Dead, and

105
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: he was released a couple couple of days ago March nineteenth. Indeed,

106
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: and ladies and gentlemen, keep up, because we're still going.

107
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: This is rapid fire. Donovan Wilson and both Late and

108
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: vander esh are returning. Magnificent, Magnificent, magnificent. Cooper Rush is

109
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: back in the building, yes, on a deal that basically

110
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: financially puts him in the driver's seat for QB two.

111
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: But you can expect Will Grier is still going to

112
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: challenge for that role. Grid did an excellent job in

113
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: doing that in training camp last year before suffering that

114
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: injury that set them back. Does that put the Cowboys

115
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: out of the running for drafting a quarterback late? My

116
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: answer is note to that. I still expect they're going

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: to get a developmental guy that can challenge for challenge

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 1: Will Grim maybe Cooper Rush as well. C J. Goodwin.

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: This is an understated resigning, but it is very, very

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: important because the Cowboys lost Noah Brown to the Houston Texans.

121
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: They lost Luke Gifford to the Tennessee Titans. Those are

122
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: two special teams aces bones fossil was bleeding, he was

123
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: hemoraging special teams. So being able to retain C. J.

124
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Goodwin is massive. Keep in mind he led the team.

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: He's a franchise leader in special teams tackles. Um. It

126
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: was three years running and then Luke Gifford dethroned him.

127
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: But good when he's back in the building. Now, let's

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: get to the fun stuff that really really really it

129
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: wasn't fun. Oh no, that was fun. That's about to say,

130
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: wait wait wait there's more. Oh but wait, yeah, we

131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: are so all of that was very fun, especially Donovan

132
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: and lv those were my top two in house. Fred

133
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: just to retain they did those. Pretty pumped about that. Wonderful, magnificent,

134
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: great job. Stefan Gilmore and Brandon Cooks are both in

135
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: the building. In the building as in like touring. No, no,

136
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: those guys are on the roster. Those guys are all

137
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: ready to suit up and do some damage. The Cowboys

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: acquire Stefan Gilmore for a fifth round compensatory pick in

139
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: twins of those freebies. One of those freebies, right one

140
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: of the they flipped one of the picks they got

141
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: for losing one of their guys, a Connor Williams last year,

142
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: and they flipped it into Stephan freaking gil Moore. But wait,

143
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: there's more. The Cowboys were in on trying to trade

144
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: for Brandon Cooks in October, just ahead of the trade deadline.

145
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: They were unable to do it simply because they didn't

146
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: want to actual yes to the third round pick, which

147
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: is the reported ask of the Texans that some say

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: when as high as a second round pick, and the

149
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: Texans were at that point, we're not willing to eat

150
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: any of the salary. Fast forward to March a little

151
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: bit more of a desperate situation in Houston. Houston sent

152
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks to the Cowboys for a fifth round pick

153
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: this year, a sixth round flyer pick in twenty twenty four,

154
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: and they're eating six million dollars of that eighteen million.

155
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: But there's more. The Cowboys reworked Brandon Cooks's deal yesterday

156
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: to free up that much more cap space. I think

157
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: they added another eight million to the cap. By rewarding

158
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: his actual deals, they are paying him a base salary

159
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: of six mil. That's it. They got Brandon Cooks on

160
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: the roster for six mils. Is a virtue, yea in

161
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: this in this so much finis scenario, this scenario, this

162
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: scenario specifically, because there are another scenarios plenty of the

163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: scenario patients doesn't necessarily work out. This is one of

164
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: those scenarios where that they did that thing exactly as

165
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: they should have, because there was conversation that if it

166
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: was I if they held out, they did they held out,

167
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: if they would have bit that at the end of

168
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: not the first date, no, in that in that trade

169
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: deadline scenario probably would have been what a third third

170
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: minimum minimum, a third maybe more and taking on the eighteen. Yeah,

171
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: So this is the Cowboys absolutely finised this deal. And

172
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: and I just can't I don't want to know what

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: you were laughing at. I know he's talking that we're

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: going to blow right. It wasn't that homecoming. It wasn't

175
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: that total you know, it was they waited into prom.

176
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: They went into prom slip right turn third, went right

177
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: on the home, right on the right, on the home

178
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: they held out and got what they wanted. You understand

179
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying with you right there. When you pick

180
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: up what I'm playing there, you put a good job

181
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This is a family show. That's why we're

182
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: keeping in families. Some about dancers, what are you talking about?

183
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: To be fair? To be fair? How do you build families? Listen?

184
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: To be fair? How do you build families? Okay? Yeah,

185
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: sliding home. So, Um, Cowboys have done some fantastic work

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: and actually prior to prior to the expected signing of

187
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, and they're likely going to add um offensive

188
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: lineman Chuma Idoga as will former third round pick of

189
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: the just in twenty twenty twenty twenty, I believe, spent

190
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two with Atlanta, So some offensive line help.

191
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: That really gonna please um. But tell me about that

192
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: one again. What was that? Chuma Idoga former third round

193
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: pick of the Jets. I've spent last year with the

194
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. He worked out yesterday with Ronald Jones, had

195
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: physical work up and everything. You think both of them

196
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: could be signed as early as today? Yes? I do? Wow, Yes, okay,

197
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: I do believe that. Now do you think they would

198
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: do you think that would stop them from drafting in

199
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: either one of those positions. I don't think so. Neither

200
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: one of those are like cutthroat done. And I'm glad you.

201
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad you present that because that's a question coming

202
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: up on Twitter this morning. Um My, my read on

203
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the situation is adding Rico Doubtle immediately. Make sure that

204
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: you have competition for that RB three, Okay, Malik Davis

205
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: versus Rico Dowdle, which is what it was last year

206
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: before Rico Doubtle season ended on that injury. So let

207
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: him fight again with Malie Davis competitively. Adding Ronald Jones

208
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: having removed having moved on from Ezekiel Elliott. It provides

209
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you draft and rehab insurance, right, So Ronald Jones is

210
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: here because you never know how the board's gonna follow,

211
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: what your draft hall is going to end up being.

212
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: If for whatever reason, you can't come away with the

213
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: running back that you want that can be an impact

214
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Day one guy, you've got Ronald Jones RB two instantly.

215
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: If for whatever reason you can maybe first round world

216
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: goes crazy, be Jean falls to twenty six. Well, now

217
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is there to compete for RB three, two

218
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: times Super Bowl champion who's still only twenty five years old. Wow,

219
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: that's that's key because it feels like people think Ronald

220
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: Jones is like twenty seven, twenty eight. Somebody asked me earlier,

221
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: why not Leonard Fournette. Will Fournette is three years older,

222
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: with much more much fewer trade, much less trade on

223
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: his tires, and probably more expensive. So Ronald Jones twenty

224
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: five years old. No matter how you slice it, it

225
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: doesn't impact what they're looking to do in the draft,

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: but it does ensure against what they might not be

227
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: able to do in the draft. No, I completely agree,

228
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: because there's three scenarios there. He's either RB two RB

229
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: two if Ony Pollard's injury doesn't come back in time,

230
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: which I don't think is a problem, but you never know.

231
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: Things happen, then he's RB two again. And then if not,

232
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: you draft a guy and he's RB three. So yeah,

233
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: you're setting up and we've seen the Cowboys do this before.

234
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: They are filling the holes and setting up their roster

235
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: to where when the draft does come around in late April,

236
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: they're able to take the best player available in the

237
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: first round and then from there on. Then they start

238
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: kind of filling in those needs. And they've done it

239
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Tyler Smith, Michael Parsons, Ceedee Lamb.

240
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, going all the way back, this is the

241
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: most aggressive this front office has been. That's what's different,

242
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: thank you. That's where they've done this every year. Man,

243
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: this chair is sinking. You got They've done this every year,

244
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Tuckles and Cousin probably actually a lot of tacos and

245
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: other stuff. But I think it's completely different because now

246
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: they're going out and getting impact players. Because I mean,

247
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: you even put it in a brilliant way. The compic

248
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: we got for Connor Williams, the compick the Cowboys guy

249
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: was what they flipped for Stefan Gilman. So that's a

250
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: starter for a starter. Yeah, in a fifth round comp

251
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: pick you would love, and we saw one and Deron

252
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: Bland this year as a fifth round compick coming in

253
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: and having starter caliber play. It's not the norm. But Ky,

254
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: the thing that you said that you blew right by

255
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: is Dallas' front office is going out and getting who

256
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: they want as they're not waiting. Right. My frustration over yeah,

257
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: my frustration over the past years has been what they

258
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: want to discount double check, right, they want to sit around,

259
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: they get the leftovers, right, they see who else falls

260
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: through the cracks, who else is still laying around at

261
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the crib. Yeah, let's go see what's out there. Let's

262
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: see if these guys still got some trid No, no, no.

263
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: This year the approach is different. This year is like,

264
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: screw this. We're tired of waiting. Were one out. We

265
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: know what we want. We know the impact players that

266
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: we can get, that we can add them to our

267
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: roster in accomplish with the other guys that we have.

268
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, we're now, we're now

269
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: we're cooking with We're dog on fire. Right, defensively, you

270
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: add Gilmore. Now you got a three headed monster. You

271
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: got three ball hawks that are starting aft your cornerbacks.

272
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Don't forget Jordan, Yeah, yeah, jay Lewis hopefully hopefully you know,

273
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: so we got but right off the back, you know

274
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: three three cornerbacks. Right, you got Gilmore, you got Traymond,

275
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: and you got Deron Bland. Those are all ball hawks.

276
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Those aren't just good defenders. Those are multi interceptions a

277
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: game possible. Guys. You have your you have all your sake,

278
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: there's going to be a takeaway his competition there, and

279
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: he's like, yep, absolutely, you have all your safeties back.

280
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: Right then you flip to the offensive side. Okay, now

281
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: you got a three hitted monster receiver. Gallup's gonna have

282
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: a full off season to get healthy. Case not gonna

283
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: be a question mark or whether or not he's gonna

284
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: be able to come back in time. He's gonna have

285
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: a whole offseason to get his confidence back. So you're

286
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: gonna have hopefully renewed Michael Gallup. You're gonna have a

287
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: CD Lamb, and you're gonna have a Cook's and that's

288
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: your three hitting monster receiver. Now now you're loading up.

289
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: What did you lose by losing Zeke? Well, you you

290
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: lost a power back and you lost somebody that could

291
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: protect and pass protection. Well, guess what if you close

292
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: out of this deal like that that's proposed right now.

293
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you have fulfilled that role.

294
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: So now you're literally what you guys are saying, they're

295
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: plugging holes, but they're going out and getting it. They're

296
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: not waiting. I've never seen Dallas this aggressive in the

297
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: first what week, Yeah, first week and real quick and

298
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: out through it to you. And what makes this even

299
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: even more special is outside of acquiring Gilmore and Cooks,

300
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: who have they signed from outside of the building yet?

301
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Jones isn't on the books. He should be this this morning.

302
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: He dogs not on the book, should be this morning.

303
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: But put those twoth to decide for now. They've not

304
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: brought in anyone from outside the building as far as

305
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agents yet, and they're still killing it in

306
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: free agents they are. That's I'm elated. I'm actually super

307
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: proud of this front office. Is two things off of that,

308
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of going back to what you started with, how

309
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: many times did we sit on this show and we

310
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: saw Tampa Bay make a move, the Rams make a move,

311
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Philly make a move, Chiefs make a move, and I'm like,

312
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: oh man, I would have done that. I would have

313
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: made that move, whether it was a trade or were signing,

314
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: I would have made that move. I would have done that.

315
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: Have watched it? Yeah, the Cowboys we did that fifth

316
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: countless time? Correct? Now other teams are looking at the

317
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys two straight times in the Gilmour who's your CB

318
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: two right now? Instantly? And then wide receiver two and

319
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. And the thing about Brandon Cooks part of

320
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: it that I like is the expectations for Brandon Cooks

321
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: right now are not to come in and be Brandon

322
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: Cooks that was in Houston. You're asking him to come

323
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: in and be a solid number two, which you didn't have.

324
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup was a below average number two in this

325
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: past season. But guess what, he's going to be a

326
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: solid number three, if if even a really good number three.

327
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: But then you've got Brandon Cooks who's gonna be a solid,

328
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: if even really good number two. And then you've got

329
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: a dog at Cede Lamb. Can you guys expel upon

330
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: what else they have done that hasn't made the headlines,

331
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of went underneath the carpet in terms of

332
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: restructuring deals that's allowing them to make some of these

333
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: moves like that. Can you talk a lot of restructures

334
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: And they restructured Dak Prescott, which for those that are

335
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: asking that does not preclude a possible extension landing this year.

336
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: That does buy the Cowboys time because they needed the

337
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: cap space immediately, especially knowing that they're not going to

338
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: get the cap relief from the Ezekiel Elliott release until

339
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: post tuned first anyway, So pull the trigger on Dak.

340
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: They pull the trigger on Zach Martin, pull the trigger

341
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: on Tyron Smith. That's the key. He's back as well.

342
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys were able to rework his deal and it will.

343
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the numbers, go check out a

344
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: Voice of the Star because I've retweeted the numbers from

345
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: Todd Archer. Shouts out to Todd Archer. Tyren Smith is

346
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: the consummate team guy. Go look at what the Cowboys

347
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: were able to do with his deal to keep him

348
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: in place. So Tyren Smith, that's more cap space. Michael Gallup,

349
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: we talked about Gallop. He restructured. That's more cap space.

350
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys rework Brandon Cooks. I mean they are freeing up

351
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars. But more importantly, and this

352
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: is what's exciting to Isaiah and Kyl and myself and

353
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the Cowboys fans, they're not doing this

354
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: to sit on the savings, which is what they typically

355
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: do because they like to roll over things from year

356
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: to year because you can roll over unusalary cop. They're

357
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: actually doing this in these moves to make moves, and

358
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: they're showing it every other day now. So not only

359
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: have they put themselves in a great position as we

360
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: go into only day two of the second week of

361
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: free agency. Typically you don't hear a meaningful move from

362
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys until the tertiary stages week three or free

363
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: agency week four. That's when they start, you know, doing

364
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: the salvation army. More hype is gone, right, but these

365
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys are firing out of the gate. But here's what

366
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: makes it that much more San Francisco. Notwithstanding, because they

367
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: have gotten better, they are scary. Okay, the Eagles are

368
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: taking a step back while the Cowboys are taking it

369
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: stuff forward. Eagles just lost Gardner Johnson. Yeah, look at

370
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: this here. I've got nine names for you that the

371
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Eagles have department to them. Big names. C J. Gardner Johnson,

372
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: that's the biggest one. Chavon Hargrave, that's huge, Miles Sanders,

373
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: t J. Edwards, Isaac Somalo because you're white, Marcus Epps,

374
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: and then both of their offensive and defensive coordinators. Yeah,

375
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: that's probably the biggest too. Honestly, but you hear that

376
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: though that's parody, come in a knocking. It doesn't mean

377
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: that the Eagles are going to be terrible. They should

378
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: probably take them. They loaded up for one year run,

379
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: but that not just like they have draft picks. They

380
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: didn't go to rams. They're gonna be picks and they

381
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: have funds. George Davis being one chops out to my dog.

382
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: But they have some younger guys that will probably step up.

383
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: And I'll say this again, I believe that parody will

384
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: arrive instantly for the Eagles, and that's why you have

385
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: to capitalize on these Super Bowl windows when you can.

386
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're going to go out and

387
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: be trash next year. I put them at around ten wins.

388
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: That's still gonna make them competitive. But there's no way

389
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: in my eye that you lose those that you've just

390
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: listed and you come away with another fourteen and three

391
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: or even a thirteen And it isn't isn't on the

392
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: trade block? Two is got that work? Okay? So how

393
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: didn't have sales service when he was turning up? All right?

394
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: So Darius Slay was on the trade block and then

395
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: he was released but not officially released. So after the

396
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: news came out he was going to be released, Howe

397
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Roseman stepped in and said no, we want to keep

398
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: you in, so they get him on a big money extension. However,

399
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: that big money extension took money away from what would

400
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: have been CJ. Gardner Johnson, So Gardner Johnson ends up right.

401
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: So Gardner Johnson puts out the tweet the disrespect is real,

402
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: and then five minutes later he deletes it. And then

403
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: two days later he's with another team. So yeah, the

404
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Eagles are taking massive steps back. Will they be competitive

405
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: next year, absolutely they will. Will they be a fourteen

406
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: win team next season? Absolutely not? And you can clip

407
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: this full receipt because I said it. I got two

408
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: other things that happened. Two other things that happened. Okay,

409
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: that Cooper Rush got resigned. M Okay, that wasn't really

410
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: breaking news, but Cooper Rush got resigned, so that gives

411
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: them some comfort. Okay, you know what it is standing

412
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: out to me, and I know everybody's gonna be like,

413
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: what the heck you talk about this wall all these

414
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: other big names. Isaac alec harton what happened there Big

415
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Mexico's moving over to the defensive line. Now that that

416
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: news that just came out on yesterday, So thank you

417
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: because I said if it's on the big so large

418
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: human had so much to go through, I probably was

419
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: going to miss something. Isaac aller Cohon his IPP exemption

420
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: International Pathway Program exemption expires this year. Cowboys are going

421
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: to keep him though, but not as an offensive lining.

422
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: They're moving the big boy over to defensive tackle. They're

423
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: they're looking to drop him in there. Now, does that

424
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: mean they're out on Jonathan Hankins? Know, that does not

425
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: mean they're out on Jonathan Hankins. Obviously, you cannot equate

426
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: the experience that Jonathan Hankins has as being that big

427
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: body knows tackle with a developmental situation in Isaac Alacoon. However, Alakhon,

428
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: this is going to be very interesting because anyone who

429
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: stood next to Isaac, and that includes Tyron Smith, and

430
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: if you stood next to Tyron, then you know that's

431
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: a huge human being. Tyrn Smith literally has to look up,

432
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: yeah to Isaac. Yes, it's a big dude. He gives

433
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: up a couple inches in height, and he gives up

434
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: a few pounds of the weight to Isaac ella Cohn.

435
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: So when the Cowboys look at Isaac and they say, hey,

436
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: you know what, we like what you were doing on

437
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line, but you're you're possibly not coming along

438
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: fast enough. But we have an idea. So I'm interested

439
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: to see what this idea because when it comes to

440
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: putting somebody in the hands of Dan Quinn, let's let's

441
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: do it. That's party time. I want to elaborate a

442
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: little bit more on the defensive line and the offensive

443
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: line situations, because by this point, everybody's already heard of

444
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: the news. We've just running through news and notes on

445
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: what's happening from a skills position standpoint and even from

446
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: a defensive secondary standpoint. But I want to know about

447
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: the front seven, and I want to know about the

448
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: offensive line because in past episodes we've talked about those

449
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: being crucial. Have they done enough there? And could that

450
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: be what's next. We're gonna start with the defensive line

451
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: when we come back right after this. When you build,

452
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: you start with the foundation, and homeownership is a foundation

453
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 1: of a stable future. The Bank of America Community Homeownership

454
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: Commitment has helped over thirty four thousand people lay the

455
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: ground work so far, with up to ten thousand dollars

456
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: to at your down payment or three percent of the

457
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: purchase price, whichever is less. The satisfaction of owning your

469
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: in the Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent

470
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying

471
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty

472
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has

473
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: at and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

474
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

475
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

476

497
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. We went a little long in the first segments,

498
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: so let's flow through the second segments. We had so

499
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: much to catch up, much so much to catch up.

500
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: On defensive line. We mentioned Isaac Allacrone, We mentioned some

501
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: of those other names like a Jonathan Hankins and a

502
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: Nevill Callum. More do they need to do more than

503
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: retain up front Isaiah? And is that a spot where

504
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys were going to go next into free

505
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: agency or maybe trades. We've seen trades being very much

506
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: so on the table, and I don't think they're done yet.

507
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: They still have two other comp picks available. Could you

508
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: see the defensive line being a target spot in that

509
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: regard interior defensive line? Okay, I can I think that.

510
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: So you're pretty set at linebacker, I'm gonna throw front

511
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: seven in the mix. Okay, linebacker. There are a few

512
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: linebackers that are still available in free agencies that I

513
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: think would be some great additions for Dallas. In terms

514
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: of the positions that are available, we can say, okay,

515
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: so Devin White still free, right? Okay, so Devin White

516
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: I would love to see and Bobby. Bobby would have

517
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: to bump over yeah, so yeah, okay, so Bobby. Sorry, Yeah,

518
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: we've been we've been freaking discre We had to wait

519
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: until last week. We've been communicating more so. I think

520
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: Bobby would be a great addition. But Bobby would have

521
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: to play an outside linebacker role. I don't think he's

522
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: had to play that in his career. So that obviously

523
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: because Vanders does not have the ability to bump outside.

524
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that skill set. So Vanders who had

525
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: to be in the middle. You need somebody to play

526
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: you neither need of Devin White, need a Bobby Wagner,

527
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: you need somebody else. But it's really gonna be depending

528
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: on what Dan quinn is trying to do with that defense.

529
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: At the second level. You want to cover guy, you

530
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: want to sideline the sideline guy. You want a sure tackler. Right,

531
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: those kind of the three categories going down to the

532
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: defensive line. I think everybody saw how important the role

533
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: was for Big Jonathan Hankins. We understood the impact that

534
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: he had. We understood how important his role was when

535
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: he was vacant, right, teams felt like they had the

536
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball a lot more effectively, and

537
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: they were able to work their offensive linement up to

538
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: the second level and get on those linebackers that we're

539
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: talking about. So I think you need another big dog.

540
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: I e. That's why they're about to do this project

541
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: with mister Adakon. Okay. I think he's a large human being,

542
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: and I think my mind understanding is that he did

543
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: some of this on HEUT team, right correct, So that

544
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: doesn't brand new. They liked what they saw. Dan Quinn's like,

545
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: I could work with that, So that's inspiring, that's encouraging.

546
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: So obviously he's a project. So you want to get

547
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: somebody who's a sure thing. I think at the defensive

548
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: line position, probably you're a younger guy, but you need

549
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: a big boss hoss. You need somebody who's gonna go

550
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: up there and Claude teams up. So when Hankins goes out, right,

551
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: when he cycles out and he's on the sideline catching

552
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: a breather, you're bringing in another guy who now feels

553
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: that voice that you're not giving them the ability to

554
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: gain an edge on you when he's trying to catch

555
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: his breath or you know, knock on wood, he's injured. Okay,

556
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: so that's the entry interior defensive line. Offensively, you know,

557
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: I've been beating against the wall, beating my head against

558
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: the wall without a helmet. Okay, talking about how we

559
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: need more offensive line depth. I understand that they restructure tirement.

560
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Okay, So that's gonna be your guy, most

561
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: likely at the left tackle position, most likely him Tyler

562
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: maybe right, but either way, we're shuffling guys around to

563
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: play roles that they don't typically play it, right, it's

564
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: not their thing. I want guys that that's what they do.

565
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: You want a specialist. You want somebody to come in

566
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: who has worked for these specific grads. Yeah, playing kicker,

567
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean Chauncey Golston, Israel, when Kuhama. There's all these

568
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: guys that you pick to transcend to a different direct.

569
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: You pick so their traits will move. Go get some

570
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: guys that do this, that's what they do for a living, right,

571
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: and do this often. So that's what I'm looking for

572
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: at the officeive line position. More more focused on the guard.

573
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: And I know people are always looking at tackles because

574
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: it's so important, but reality, you have you have two

575
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: left tackles you have Tyran and you have Tyler right,

576
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: those are your two left tackles. You go to the

577
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: right tackle position, you have Terren Steell who's coming off

578
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: the injury and you're you're hoping that he is who

579
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: he used to be. And then you also have Matt

580
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: Well let's go right, well, well, let's go. We got

581
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: it's time to go right, It's time to see what

582
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: you're about. Okay, Um, now you look to the inside office.

583
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Your right guard is solid. You like to have somebody

584
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: backing him up because you you lost your left guard.

585
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Your left guard went down to where he went to

586
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: where he didn't go to Buffalo, did Hey, Yeah he did, Yeah, Buffalo.

587
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Connor mcgovernor got paid and went to Buffalo. So you

588
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: have a void there, right, And the only way that

589
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: you can really plug that hole right now is by

590
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: moving somebody from a position that is their traditional position.

591
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: So to your point, Kyle, I would like for them

592
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: free agency. Most of the big name free agency are gone. Right.

593
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Freaking Sean Payton went on a freaking shopman's free day

594
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: one and took linement okay, and everybody else wouldn't get

595
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: because you just can't find offensive alignement. Much like you

596
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: can't just find cornerbacks. You can find receivers, you can

597
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: find running backs, You can find a lot of these

598
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: skill positions to fit inside your schemes. The offensive line positions,

599
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: you don't find those guys, right, So if they haven't

600
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: already got somebody in free agency, which they haven't, Okay,

601
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: they might get some guys just laying around that are

602
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: for depth. But in terms of starters, you're gonna have

603
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: to draft somebody, and you have to draft them high

604
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and you know the draft better than

605
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: any of us sitting up here, So you have to

606
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: be able to tell us is there a guy at

607
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty six that they will go get or are they

608
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at another skill position. It's two guys.

609
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: It's two names that you could put there at twenty

610
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: six offensive line wise, right, that's what we're talking about.

611
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: We're o Cyrus Torrence, Florida. We've we've mentioned him before,

612
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: bigger guy played at three forty six, but he's at

613
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: three thirty at least as late as the combine. He's

614
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: starting to lean up a little bit and so he's

615
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: looking better. The other name is John Michael Schmidtz from Minnesota.

616
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: But he's a center, so he'd be one of those

617
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: guys that, at least this year, would play out of position.

618
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Beiottish is a free agent next year, so if

619
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: you drafted him, he might be your center of the future.

620
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidtz right now is a better player than

621
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Beiottish. In my eyes, he's a better player right now. Now.

622
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: Would he play as the starter, No, They're not gonna

623
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: move Tyler Beiottish out of the way to put a

624
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: rookie up front, if anything, especially off of a Pro

625
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: Bowl year. If anything, they would put him as a

626
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: backup guard, so they would play him where Isaiah the

627
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: door out of position, so he would be out of position.

628
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: It would be an odd fit to draft an offensive

629
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: lineman at twenty six right now, it might be the

630
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: best pick. Center in GA are more interchangeable than tackle

631
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: in guard. I'm okay, one way, one way. It's easier

632
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: to go from center to guard. Yes, it's not as

633
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: easy to go from guard to center. No, but you're right.

634
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: Compared to going out to tackle, it's different. Yes, completely,

635
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be opposed to that, even though I'm

636
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: sitting here saying I don't like guys playing out of

637
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: their position if you have a dog, especially with Tyl.

638
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: To be honest. Listen, I like Tyler to be honest.

639
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: I want to go on record by saying I like

640
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: Tyme to be honest. I don't think that Tyl to

641
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: bet Is has enough size and strength to handle the

642
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: teams that we play against six times a year. That's

643
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: my opinion. I think he does a great job against

644
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: everybody else, but when he comes to those big boys upfront, Unfortunately,

645
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: you have three NFCAST teams that you face twice a year,

646
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: and those guys kind of have dealing with defensive lines, right,

647
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: They got some hogs. So my thing is saying, hey,

648
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing against you, but we need some dogs at

649
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: least put on each side of you to help you

650
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: because you can't handle these guys one on one. That's

651
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: no disrespect, that's just acknowledging where you're strong and where

652
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: you're weak. So you need to put a beast on

653
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: your left side because you already got a beast on

654
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: your right side, because that's what you do, combo blocks.

655
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: I need you combo blocking with somebody who's a lot

656
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger than you. Yeah, that's John Michael Schmidtz. Now,

657
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: with all of that being said, it's funny because on

658
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: my way in this morning, I got a call from

659
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: the great Nate Newton. Oh, he just wanted he just

660
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: wanted to talk shop about these offensive line We had

661
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: this exact conversation. Rank your five starting offensive lineman right now.

662
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: So it'd be Tyrn Smith at left, Tyler Smith at

663
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: left guard, Tyler Bottish in the interior, Zack Martin at

664
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: right guard, Terrence Steal at right tackle. Where would Tyler

665
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: Biottish be in your five? The bottom? He would be

666
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: number five. Yeah, So even if you went and drafted

667
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidtz, it's not out of the question that

668
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: he may be your fourth best offensive lineman. John Michael

669
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: Schmidtz might be your fourth best offensive linement. The other

670
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: part of this equation, though, is do you expect those

671
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: starting five to go all seventeen games? We're here and no,

672
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: But if you do, you're in fantasy land. I'll do

673
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: you one worse. You cannot expect those file do you

674
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: one worse to go all season? Are we even certain

675
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: as we sit here and have this conversation. I mean,

676
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: the expectation is that it will be the case, But

677
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: are we one percent certain that Tarrant Steel is here

678
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, let alone beyond twenty twenty three.

679
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: For clarity, ladies and gentlemen, Taryn Steel is a restrictive

680
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: free agent. The Cowboys placed a second round tender on him.

681
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: That means they have the right to or match any

682
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: offer sheet he receives. If they don't match it and

683
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: lose him to someone else, they get a second round

684
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: pick as compensation. So that's one angle of it. Another

685
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: angle of it is Tyler Smith not Tomas Smith. I'm sorry,

686
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: tarn Steel is recovering from a twin aco, so that

687
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: is kind of hampering negotiations on a multi year deal.

688
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: So maybe that multi year deal doesn't land until the summer,

689
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't land at all. I say all of

690
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: that to say this, we have question marks at left

691
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: guard because Connor McGovern is now protecting Josh Allen and

692
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: you don't know what the future lies at right tackle.

693
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: So those are two key positions that you don't know

694
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: what's going on there. This is why I don't have

695
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: a problem with them circling back in the first round

696
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: of another year and getting an offensive lineman. I don't

697
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: have an issue with that whatsoever, But kind of flipping

698
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: back to the defense real quick, because I do want

699
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: to answer this question defensive line, that front four. I

700
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: don't think that if you can get Hankins back in

701
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: the building, I think you're set, okay, because you talk

702
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: about Chauncey Ghost and Nevil Gallimore. Also, Digi Zola had

703
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: a breakout season, Sam Williams on that edge with Durrance Armstrong.

704
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: Tank is still Tank. I mean, the list goes on.

705
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: They got waves of pass rushers. You keep Hankins in

706
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: that middle. We'll see what happens with alicon Im starting line,

707
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: Quentin Bohinda. I think they love one more guys, So

708
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: you're okay having one hank Ish type player here I'm

709
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Mozzi Smith. But here's where I'm going with you're talking

710
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: draft for free agencies both okay. If we're talking both

711
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: different in free age and see if you retain Hankins.

712
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm totally fine that I get it. That's what I'm saying. Okay.

713
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, don't draft the guy if you keep Hankins.

714
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: I was always speaking specifically a free agents. Now we're

715
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: talking okay, so wide open. If it's defensive lining, you

716
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: keep hankins. I'm I'm set there as far as not

717
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: necessarily bringing in a guy from the outside in free agency,

718
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: but still attack it in the draft. Okay, cool with it.

719
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: Linebacker corps that I can't be more clear, and how

720
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: shaky that is. So for those that are you know,

721
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: replying to my tweets about the linebackers, and well, no, see,

722
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: why are you still in on Bobby Wagner with lv

723
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: EA still in the building, why are you in on

724
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: Miles Jack? As a consolation, They're still in on Bobby Wagner.

725
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: And you know why they're still in because outside of

726
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: ELV which again was my second most important in house retention,

727
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: second only to Donovan Wilson, you kept lv magnificent, wonderful,

728
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: not being sarcastic. Thank you for that. I probably just

729
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: scared it. But outside of LV and Damon Clark, name

730
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: an impact linebacker for the Cowboys, you lost a depth

731
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: guy in Gifford. I love bro Cox, we already know,

732
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: very high on his ceiling. However, even he will admit

733
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: he has a lot to prove to become an impact player. Okay,

734
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: and from there you got three practice squad guys Devin Harper, Malite, Jefferson,

735
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: DeVante Bond. Okay, that means, as you look at this

736
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys linebacker depth chart, as we have this conversation, you

737
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: only have two impact guys proven either proven or proven

738
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: to have a high ceiling like in Daman Clark. After that,

739
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: the talent and potential drop off is significant. That's why

740
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: they're still in on Bobby Wagner and fans should still

741
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: be in on Bobby Wagner. And as a not so

742
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: bad consolation prize, if you bring me a Miles Jack

743
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: and put him in this rotation, that's another option. Uh White,

744
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: that's another option. Okay, Well I looked up his contract.

745
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: Did he get released by No? No, no no, no, Devin White.

746
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: Devin White's not an unrestricted free agent. He's under contract

747
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: this year. I no, he's under contracting. My statement about him,

748
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: yeah you attract chick. I mean, I've got it right here.

749
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: It says twenty twenty three. Okay. So okay, So the

750
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: guy that as much as I would love that, but

751
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna respond for like one hundred million dollars.

752
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: So I thought he was a free agent, but I

753
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: thought it was free no, eleven point seven. As soon

754
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: as you said that, like a little ding ding ding

755
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: in my head popped up and I was like, I

756
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they picked up this option. So

757
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: we're cleaning it up. We had to clean it up. Okay,

758
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: so White's off the table, not even not an option,

759
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: but Miles Jack is still an option. Bobby Wagner is

760
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: still the primary option. My point is at linebacker, other

761
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: than l v I and Demane, you have to bring

762
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: in another guy. And I would say bring even if

763
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: you get Jack, even if you get Wagner in the draft,

764
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: you still want to have a guy ready. But you

765
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: have to figure out what type. And again that's gonna

766
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: fall upon Dan Quinn to figure out what type of

767
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: player do you want on the on the weak side.

768
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you have to figure out, because

769
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: do you want a larger human being like you went

770
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: out and got with Barr. Do you want a sure tackler?

771
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: Do you want a fast guy? Do you want somebody

772
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: who can cover? You're using three safeties? Do you need

773
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: a cover linebacker? Who? What do you think they need?

774
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: I think they need a sideline the sideline guy. I

775
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: think they'll speak I think they need a little four

776
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: four guy. I will say, you know who covers will

777
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: sideline a sideline? Bobby Wagner. You know who else covers

778
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: sideline the sideline? He gonna hit you really well off

779
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: of his college table, really well off his college table.

780
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: Devin Harper. Yeah, Nora, he had a good cramp camp

781
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: last year. I like he did. I liked him last

782
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: I think he's if you don't go get that guy.

783
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: I have a competitive guy. You have him in there. Yeah,

784
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I like him. For people

785
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: that did not see his camp in preseason last year,

786
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: he had one heck of a camp. He didn't have

787
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: a big name Becau. There's a lot of stuff going

788
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: on with the old line and Dak and all that jazz.

789
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: But he had a great camp last year with in

790
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: terms of availability and actual realistic opportunities, what is a

791
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: cap situation looking like now in order to go sign

792
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: a free agent? In terms of what you have to

793
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: take on to go into camp, right, those are all

794
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: things that now this this organization has to try to

795
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: figure out what money do we actually have to play with.

796
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: They've restructured, didn't seemly have to all one team already.

797
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: So this is per over thecap dot Com as we

798
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: have this conversation, the Cowboys have roughly sixteen point two

799
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: million dollars in available cap space, and you need how

800
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: much of going to camp to cover the joy year

801
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: drafty couple? Usually it's no, it's like twenty twenty two,

802
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: I think, or even just total, yeah, like to cover

803
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: the whole draft class. Who it's like twenty something. No, no,

804
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: no, no no, I'm wrong, right, No, it's twelve, it's twelve

805
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: one two. Yeah. So I'm saying so, like now, so

806
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: as you're looking towards a draft as it stands right now,

807
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: you really have about four million dollars to play with

808
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: right now, as you as you yeah, yeah, as it

809
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: seems right now without having I don't know who else

810
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: you can really restruct your but they still have a few,

811
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: you know. So what I'm saying, like, you got four

812
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: million dollars to really play with in terms of going

813
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: out to be able to acquire free agents, big name

814
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: free agents that you guys are mentioning. Yeah, so there's

815
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: not a lot there's not a whole lot of big

816
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: impact players that you're getting at the positions we're talking

817
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: about at least keep keep in mind. And I guess

818
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: I get the luxury of of saying this now. The

819
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys have shown an ability to finesse the cap this

820
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: offseason in a way that's reminiscent of what the Saints

821
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: do annually. I have always wanted them to be, well,

822
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: it's the Dennis Allen Saints now, but they instance on

823
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: Payton blueprint, right. I have always wanted the Cowboys to

824
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: get to a point where they understood that the cap

825
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: is not a pie as much as it is just

826
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: this mythical number that the league would like you to

827
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: stay under. But there are so many ways you can

828
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: pull rabbits out the heat. They're showing me in twenty

829
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty three that they know how to execute pulling those

830
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: rabbits out of the heat. Look at the Cooks deal,

831
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: for example. So I use that as an example to say,

832
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: I could see them striking a deal with a Bobby

833
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: Wagon or a Miles Jack or whomever else they need

834
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: to bring in that might be admitted to big ticket guy,

835
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: and then before that deal is even on the books,

836
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: here comes another restructure. If they were able to if

837
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: they are able to close on Bobby, I don't think

838
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: people understan a magnitude of that. I've been I've been

839
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: talking about Bobby. I mean your entire life. Yeah, my

840
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: entire life. You're a Seattle guy. I know Bobby. He's mean,

841
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: he's awesome, I mean, but the thing is, he's such

842
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 1: a cerebral player, it's ridiculous. A couple couple things before

843
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: we take it to our second break, because we're running

844
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: along again. Um. First one, the according to to spo track,

845
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: the projected draft class cap space needed seven point seven

846
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: so not that bad. So you got you got a

847
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: little bit extra about nine million. You can work with

848
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: seven point can work that's projected. That can change, of course,

849
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: depending on what deals work based upon that you got.

850
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: You have two impact players that you can get seven

851
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: points seven nine million, give or take available. You can

852
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: do some get two year deal to drop the cap

853
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: hit for the first year, adding another guy, like you're saying,

854
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: magic can be made. The second one, though, is even

855
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: the best magicians run out of hat or rabbits to

856
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: pull out of that hat sometimes, so you can't restructure.

857
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: Everybody's fair. But nine gives you enough and not how

858
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at too, all right, second, second break,

859
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: when we come back, which one of the new additions

860
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys could make the biggest impact or do

861
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: you think will make the biggest impact in your one.

862
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: We'll answer that when we come back. Right after this,

863
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

864
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

865
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

866
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

867
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

868
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

869
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

870
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

871
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

872
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: G requires compatible plan and device five G may not

873
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: be available in your areas. He att got com slash

911

00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: got you and electricity bills, and so we get there

914
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: and I'll bring up my tickets and it says VIP

915
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: been upgraded, and we had tickets like right down there

916
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: but where home plate would have been at noise, not

917
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: complaining it at all, And somebody was sitting in our seats,

918
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: and I said, excuse me, we're for I P I

919
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you know that or not. Card with

920
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: the head shape. Yeah, I had the head shape. I

921
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this or not. Yeah, that's fun.

922
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: And I explained to my kids why people sitting seats

923
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: at aren't there. There was a whole conversation, I'm riding

924
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: a ball or not? Yeah, exactly, No, it was awesome.

925
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: I loved I'm happy that this rodeo season they had

926
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: me ride a mechanical bull on bourbon. No way, how's

927
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: there a video footage? We know how it ends? Actually

928
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: there is, we're not telling you. Oh yes, I could

929
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: find it now. I just want to know how long

930
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: you were up there? We know how it ended, but

931
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: how long were you up there? Beamer? Hey? Can I

932
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: get that full eight seconds? My friend? Can I get

933
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: a clear ye from you again? You need one right now?

934
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: I need one right now? Clean? Yeah? Now that will

935
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 1: go in. Now we gotta go like three seconds. Yeah

936
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: that's the cut. All right, I'm gonna go back and

937
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: get that. I love it. Thanks Being for anyone of

938
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: the new drafts. There's Chris Being doing fantastic work as always.

939
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: All right, question, everybody wants to know which one of

940
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: the new editions, and I'll throw free agents in there

941
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: as well. I guess they're all trades, right, I mean,

942
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: we haven't until two trades, until until now. But which

943
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: one of the two Stephan Gilmore Brandon Cooks who has

944
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: the bigger impact in year one? Gilmore? Why is that?

945
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: Because you all you have no good place to go

946
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: with the ball? M You know what Stefan told me,

947
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: what's you gotta throw the ball somewhere somewhere. I gotta

948
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: go somewhere. M. Yeah, that's a problem. And in the

949
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: wisdom that he brings, the wisdom that he brings, he's

950
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: now the leader in that room. Yeah, you're not asking

951
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: Curse to be the leader in that room. You're not

952
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: asking any those guys to be the leader. Any mc

953
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: gilmour has the most wisdom in that room now, not

954
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: to say that other guys can't play leader and they

955
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: got no. Everybody's going to look to him now for leadership.

956
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: So you have two young bulls in Trayvon and Duran

957
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: Bland that are hungry, they're growing, they're developing. They have

958
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: a great defensive back cooach, right, but now you have

959
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: a freaking chief on the field. That can go out

960
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: there and direct these guys when they need it. It's awesome.

961
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Based off of the Twitter reaction, Trayvon Diggs

962
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: is pretty pumped to have Stephan Gilmore in the phone. Yeah.

963
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: Well they were fighting over his freaking jersey. Yeah. Yeah,

964
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: And it's even more fun as Gilmore is just as

965
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: pumped to play alongside Trelan Diggs because Gilmore said he

966
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: because he wasn't able to get Dig's jersey in that

967
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: funny little jersey swap battle with Michael Parsons, that he's

968
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: going to make sure he gets uh one of Dig's

969
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: jerseys now that he's here. So it tells you that

970
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: the love goes both ways. So I think the chemistry

971
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: is going to be instant though, But I'm willing to

972
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: go with Gilmore as well for all the reasons that

973
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah said. Along with that shiny thing that's on his finger.

974
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring right, he knows not only how to

975
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: get there, because Cooks knows how to get there, but

976
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore knows how to get over that hump and

977
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: get that Lombardi Trophy. For those that don't really know

978
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: Cooks and Stefan Gilmore played together, right, So here there,

979
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: y'all kind of reuniting hearing Dallas, Yeah, forgot about that.

980
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: It's a cold combination when you know that you can

981
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: your pass rush can get to the quarterback. And if

982
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: your pass rush gets to the quarterback most of the time,

983
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a highly inaccurate throw. It's not gonna

984
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: be the best ball they could throw. And now when

985
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: the ball's in the air, most likely it's gonna be

986
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: going to somebody who can intercept it. That's a problem.

987
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: Here's here's where it just gets so fantastic. And this

988
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: is again why Gilmore is and both are just massive additions.

989
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: But gun to my head, I'm taking Gilmore as far

990
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: as the bigger impact guy for minute one. And that's because,

991
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: like Gilmore himself said, you have to throw the ball somewhere,

992
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: so that basically intimates you can't what you're gonna do.

993
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: You're gonna aim at Digs, that's a problem. You're gonna

994
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: aim at Bland, that's a problem. You're aiming at Stefan

995
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: and that's a problem. Oh well, maybe you go deep. Okay, Well,

996
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: there's Moleague and Donovan and jay Ron Curs right there now,

997
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: keep in mind, you're trying to do all of this

998
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: as a quarterback while you have Michael Parsons, Tom Strong

999
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, Sam Williams, Chauncey Ghost and the list

1000
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: goes on and all coming at you. It's just the

1001
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: only the glaring I should say, the most glaring opportunity

1002
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: for improvement for the Cowboys is the void they just

1003
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: filled because once Anthony Brown went down at cbtwo, the

1004
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: talent drop off there was enormous, and the Cowboys basically

1005
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: held a tryout for the rest of the season at

1006
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: that position. But teams knew and opposing quarterbacks knew. All

1007
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: we had to do is attack the young guys. Draw

1008
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: circle around the young guy. Kelvin Joseph was the first

1009
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: one to get the circle. Nashaun Wright, who acquitted himself

1010
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: fairly well, but he was the next guy. And then

1011
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: Israel mcquama, who also played well in the playoff game

1012
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: against Templa, didn't. Again, you can't do that now. Now

1013
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: when they line up, it's not Okay, where's cbtwo, Let

1014
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: me draw us. Oh that's that's Stefan Gilmore in digs Well,

1015
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: Let's attack us. Oh that's Dan. So does this fully

1016
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: solidify it has to write that Durn Bland is your

1017
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: starting spot him and Jordan Lewis. I don't know that

1018
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: it solidifies it completely because because you have Jaylu and wow,

1019
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: this is a great problem to have, but it's a problem. Nonetheless,

1020
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: you don't know just yet who's going to win out

1021
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: in camp between Jay Lou and Dron Bland, and both

1022
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: are both deserve the honor, right Durron Bland deserves the

1023
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: honor because of his breakout season as a rookie and

1024
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: as a rookie fifth round comp pick No. Less Okay

1025
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: led the team in interceptions last season. But Jay Lou

1026
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: has been one of the resident ball Hawks, and there

1027
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: was a time when he was the only ball Hawk

1028
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: on this defense. And outside of coming back from a

1029
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: season ending injury, the list Frank fracture and for those

1030
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: who need an update, he's out of the boot, he's

1031
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: off the scooter. He's all smiles. He tells me he's

1032
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: on track to not hit pup, but we'll see if

1033
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are cautious and put him on pup anyway.

1034
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 1: So good news there, But the slot battle is the

1035
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: only real question in the secondary for me, because I

1036
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: don't think that it's guaranteed that Bland would be the

1037
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: slot over Lou or Lou would be the slot over Bland.

1038
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: That's a training camp decision to come yep. And we

1039
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: will have plenty of time to talk about that moving

1040
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: forward as well. But that's gonna do it for us

1041
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys. We're gonna have nothing new to

1042
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: talk about next week, so you might as well just

1043
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: wait on till next week. We'll just go We'll go

1044
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: back at it again. We'll hit all this again next

1045
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: week because nothing's gonna happen between now and then. Yeah

1046
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: at all? All right for Chris be Mysaiah stand bad Patrick,

00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
