This he's Talking 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.640 Cowboys Screaming Live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:35.800 the Star in Frisco, Elliot Flowing Live and now your hosts, 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:41.360 I say a stand back. Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeoman's 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.760 It's sit offseason edition of Talking Cowboys from the s 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.600 WBC studios at the Star and Frisco, presented by Black 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:55.120 Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:00:55.200 --> 0:01:00.880 We are full steam ahead as free agency and trade 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.440 talks continue in this offseason for the Cowboys, and we've 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.399 got plenty to talk about. I mean, the last time 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.240 that we were on the air on Tuesday, we were 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.760 talking about checklists. We were talking about what you could 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.920 do to set yourself up for success over the next week. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.040 Safe to say, they have done quite a few things 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.680 on those checklists. Now are they done? Are the Cowboys 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.440 done yet? No, There's a long way to go this offseason, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.160 and I'm sure by the time we get back on 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.039 the year next week some more stuff will happen. However, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.680 we've got a lot to talk about, both good, both 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:45.600 bad and entertaining all the way through alongside Isaiah Standbackpatrick, 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.520 No see Walker, I'm Kyle Yeomen's gentlemen, how are we doing? 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.440 Fantastic fan Tabby Looso. I was on a boat this 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.680 whole week. You were on a boat. You were you 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.760 were out of sales service. I was that's the best count. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:06.120 Oh yeah, I was out of the country on a boat. Yeah, Cosumel, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.920 my friend. Oh, yes, you've been having a great offseason. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.880 Ye Did I have too many Miller lights? Maybe? Maybe? 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.680 Did I need a couple more black rifle coffees this 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.639 morning to get that? Probably? Yeah? Yeah? Did uh? Did 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.799 I have an absolute blast? One thousand percent? What matters? Oh, 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.680 my gosh, it was so much fun at a blast 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.520 twelve twelve of us and we all just went on 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.200 a cruise nice throughout the whole of cruises. And that's 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.120 that's been my It was my bachelor party, by the way, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.480 for those listening, the uh that's been That's been my 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.320 favorite part about this, about this whole wedding process. Question 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.600 is in Cosmel, did Denton Kyle show up? Oh? He 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.160 was there far they got there. Yeah. They have like 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.720 a drink limit. Yeah, they have like the fifteen minute 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.000 drink or the fifteen drink limit per day on the boat. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.840 That was like he just blew right there, Um the 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.280 U turn up. I need a detox, is what I mean. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.040 The biggest thing about this whole wedding process, the first 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.200 off is being able to spend it with Lorena and 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.600 go through it with her, and this has been so 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.679 much fun. The second best part is being able to 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.679 hang around friends and family, and so I'm excited to 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.720 see that continue. But I had a blast. It was 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.760 so much fun. I'm glad to be back though, because, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.280 like I said, I didn't have cell service, so you 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.120 few things. That was kind of my point as I 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.079 got back. And this is where we have to lead off. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.800 So I want you to tell me Patrick news and notes, 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.800 everything that happened over the last seven days, Like I 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.840 didn't know it, and this just imagine not knowing this 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.720 and then getting back to it. Fair enough, Well, let's 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.960 start news and notes by saying this. I did say 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.600 there was a big move that was likely going to 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.240 land by the time we spoke again today, Cowboys doubled 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.080 up on that and said, you know what, No, c 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.760 We'll see your big move and we'll raise you a note, Okay, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.880 So we're going to do a quick little rundown here 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.680 and forgive me if there's anything that I that I missed. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.680 But there's been quite a bit of movement over the 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.040 past week. So we have the Ezekiel Elliott release. Obviously, 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.520 that's the headline move for the Cowboys in free agency. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.600 They opted to move on from the franchise's third best 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.000 all time leading rusher. That's going to obviously clear the 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.360 way for Tony Pollard to take that throne. Pollard is 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.240 still recovering from the fractured leg suffered in the NFL 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.960 NFC Divisional Round, but the Cowboys have resigned as of 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.520 this morning, or he'll be in the resign this morning. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.080 Rico dowdle so he's going to be back for depth 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.160 to battle Malite Davis behind Tony Pollard. Then, but they 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.960 also met with two time Super Bowl champion, former second 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:43.240 round pick Ronald Jones on Monday and they really liked him, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.880 and I'm told the expectations that he signs this morning. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.400 So past couple of days heavy on the running backs. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.400 Dalton Shots yesterday signed with the Houston Texas on a 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.480 one year, nine million dollar max deal. So kudos to 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.560 Dalton shots. He got a bag down there in Houston. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.600 Clears the way obviously here in Dallas for Jake Ferguson, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.039 hay hinder shot and likely a tight end being drafted 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.480 by the Cowboys. Jake McQuoid, long snapper for the Cowboys, 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.560 former long snapper for the Cowboys, is now with the 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.640 Detroit Lions ticket Cowboys. Why is that the one freaking egg? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.680 Why it's Jake McQuaid. I don't give a dog on 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.240 If it's freaking Teddy Brewster, you need dog on the 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.680 long snapper. I agree, long snappers do matter. We let 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.800 go of LP For those that say they don't matter, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.320 they do. Until they found McQuaid, it was fine. Hopefully 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.400 we can find somebody else well nice seg because they're 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.280 working on one right now, potentially bringing in Trent Siege, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.240 is am I'm pronouncing that right, Yeah, I believe so yeah, okay, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.680 So there's a very good chance that Trent Siege takes 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.080 the place of McQuaid. Now, Matt Overton is still out there. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.080 I would expect that maybe they give Overton a look 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.760 closer to training camp if something's not going quite quite 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.280 white with Sigue but they have a formula for replacing 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.880 the long snapper, and they're going younger there because Siege 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.960 it's quite a bit younger and cheaper seven yeah, than 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.600 both Matt Overton and Jake McQuay. So they're going younger there. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.680 Played with the Ravens and the Raiders see Dead, and 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.640 he was released a couple couple of days ago March nineteenth. Indeed, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.360 and ladies and gentlemen, keep up, because we're still going. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.200 This is rapid fire. Donovan Wilson and both Late and 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:24.080 vander esh are returning. Magnificent, Magnificent, magnificent. Cooper Rush is 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.919 back in the building, yes, on a deal that basically 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.120 financially puts him in the driver's seat for QB two. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:32.880 But you can expect Will Grier is still going to 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.960 challenge for that role. Grid did an excellent job in 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.320 doing that in training camp last year before suffering that 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.800 injury that set them back. Does that put the Cowboys 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.839 out of the running for drafting a quarterback late? My 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.080 answer is note to that. I still expect they're going 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.160 to get a developmental guy that can challenge for challenge 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.799 Will Grim maybe Cooper Rush as well. C J. Goodwin. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.320 This is an understated resigning, but it is very, very 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.360 important because the Cowboys lost Noah Brown to the Houston Texans. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.320 They lost Luke Gifford to the Tennessee Titans. Those are 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.360 two special teams aces bones fossil was bleeding, he was 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.520 hemoraging special teams. So being able to retain C. J. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.600 Goodwin is massive. Keep in mind he led the team. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.960 He's a franchise leader in special teams tackles. Um. It 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.240 was three years running and then Luke Gifford dethroned him. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.400 But good when he's back in the building. Now, let's 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.560 get to the fun stuff that really really really it 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.720 wasn't fun. Oh no, that was fun. That's about to say, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:29.080 wait wait wait there's more. Oh but wait, yeah, we 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.080 are so all of that was very fun, especially Donovan 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.480 and lv those were my top two in house. Fred 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.200 just to retain they did those. Pretty pumped about that. Wonderful, magnificent, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:44.120 great job. Stefan Gilmore and Brandon Cooks are both in 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.440 the building. In the building as in like touring. No, no, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.920 those guys are on the roster. Those guys are all 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.120 ready to suit up and do some damage. The Cowboys 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.240 acquire Stefan Gilmore for a fifth round compensatory pick in 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.960 twins of those freebies. One of those freebies, right one 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.400 of the they flipped one of the picks they got 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.560 for losing one of their guys, a Connor Williams last year, 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.040 and they flipped it into Stephan freaking gil Moore. But wait, 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.560 there's more. The Cowboys were in on trying to trade 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.440 for Brandon Cooks in October, just ahead of the trade deadline. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.280 They were unable to do it simply because they didn't 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.040 want to actual yes to the third round pick, which 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.800 is the reported ask of the Texans that some say 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.080 when as high as a second round pick, and the 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.360 Texans were at that point, we're not willing to eat 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.400 any of the salary. Fast forward to March a little 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.760 bit more of a desperate situation in Houston. Houston sent 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.640 Brandon Cooks to the Cowboys for a fifth round pick 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.959 this year, a sixth round flyer pick in twenty twenty four, 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.760 and they're eating six million dollars of that eighteen million. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.959 But there's more. The Cowboys reworked Brandon Cooks's deal yesterday 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.480 to free up that much more cap space. I think 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240 they added another eight million to the cap. By rewarding 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.439 his actual deals, they are paying him a base salary 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.960 of six mil. That's it. They got Brandon Cooks on 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.600 the roster for six mils. Is a virtue, yea in 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.880 this in this so much finis scenario, this scenario, this 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.319 scenario specifically, because there are another scenarios plenty of the 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:25.280 scenario patients doesn't necessarily work out. This is one of 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.679 those scenarios where that they did that thing exactly as 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.160 they should have, because there was conversation that if it 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:38.800 was I if they held out, they did they held out, 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.720 if they would have bit that at the end of 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:47.080 not the first date, no, in that in that trade 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.000 deadline scenario probably would have been what a third third 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.559 minimum minimum, a third maybe more and taking on the eighteen. Yeah, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:10:00.080 So this is the Cowboys absolutely finised this deal. And 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.040 and I just can't I don't want to know what 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.160 you were laughing at. I know he's talking that we're 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.480 going to blow right. It wasn't that homecoming. It wasn't 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:12.360 that total you know, it was they waited into prom. 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.199 They went into prom slip right turn third, went right 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.160 on the home, right on the right, on the home 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.720 they held out and got what they wanted. You understand 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.840 what I'm saying with you right there. When you pick 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.800 up what I'm playing there, you put a good job 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.440 the Cowboys. This is a family show. That's why we're 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.120 keeping in families. Some about dancers, what are you talking about? 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.640 To be fair? To be fair? How do you build families? Listen? 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.320 To be fair? How do you build families? Okay? Yeah, 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:43.520 sliding home. So, Um, Cowboys have done some fantastic work 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.520 and actually prior to prior to the expected signing of 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.680 Ronald Jones, and they're likely going to add um offensive 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.120 lineman Chuma Idoga as will former third round pick of 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.840 the just in twenty twenty twenty twenty, I believe, spent 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.400 twenty twenty two with Atlanta, So some offensive line help. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.800 That really gonna please um. But tell me about that 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.320 one again. What was that? Chuma Idoga former third round 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.439 pick of the Jets. I've spent last year with the 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:15.120 Atlanta Falcons. He worked out yesterday with Ronald Jones, had 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.080 physical work up and everything. You think both of them 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.280 could be signed as early as today? Yes? I do? Wow, Yes, okay, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.439 I do believe that. Now do you think they would 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.560 do you think that would stop them from drafting in 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.400 either one of those positions. I don't think so. Neither 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.720 one of those are like cutthroat done. And I'm glad you. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.920 I'm glad you present that because that's a question coming 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:38.319 up on Twitter this morning. Um My, my read on 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:44.000 the situation is adding Rico Doubtle immediately. Make sure that 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:49.240 you have competition for that RB three, Okay, Malik Davis 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.480 versus Rico Dowdle, which is what it was last year 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.360 before Rico Doubtle season ended on that injury. So let 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.679 him fight again with Malie Davis competitively. Adding Ronald Jones 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.280 having removed having moved on from Ezekiel Elliott. It provides 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:07.400 you draft and rehab insurance, right, So Ronald Jones is 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.920 here because you never know how the board's gonna follow, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.559 what your draft hall is going to end up being. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.840 If for whatever reason, you can't come away with the 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.040 running back that you want that can be an impact 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.720 Day one guy, you've got Ronald Jones RB two instantly. 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.360 If for whatever reason you can maybe first round world 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.040 goes crazy, be Jean falls to twenty six. Well, now 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.520 Ronald Jones is there to compete for RB three, two 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.839 times Super Bowl champion who's still only twenty five years old. Wow, 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.120 that's that's key because it feels like people think Ronald 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.600 Jones is like twenty seven, twenty eight. Somebody asked me earlier, 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.000 why not Leonard Fournette. Will Fournette is three years older, 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.240 with much more much fewer trade, much less trade on 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.720 his tires, and probably more expensive. So Ronald Jones twenty 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.440 five years old. No matter how you slice it, it 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.520 doesn't impact what they're looking to do in the draft, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.600 but it does ensure against what they might not be 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.120 able to do in the draft. No, I completely agree, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.400 because there's three scenarios there. He's either RB two RB 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.080 two if Ony Pollard's injury doesn't come back in time, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.400 which I don't think is a problem, but you never know. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.520 Things happen, then he's RB two again. And then if not, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.880 you draft a guy and he's RB three. So yeah, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.560 you're setting up and we've seen the Cowboys do this before. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.199 They are filling the holes and setting up their roster 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.920 to where when the draft does come around in late April, 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.080 they're able to take the best player available in the 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.600 first round and then from there on. Then they start 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.360 kind of filling in those needs. And they've done it 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.000 the last couple of years. Tyler Smith, Michael Parsons, Ceedee Lamb. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.880 I mean, going all the way back, this is the 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.679 most aggressive this front office has been. That's what's different, 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.200 thank you. That's where they've done this every year. Man, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.880 this chair is sinking. You got They've done this every year, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:51.000 Tuckles and Cousin probably actually a lot of tacos and 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.960 other stuff. But I think it's completely different because now 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.560 they're going out and getting impact players. Because I mean, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.080 you even put it in a brilliant way. The compic 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.679 we got for Connor Williams, the compick the Cowboys guy 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.320 was what they flipped for Stefan Gilman. So that's a 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.840 starter for a starter. Yeah, in a fifth round comp 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.640 pick you would love, and we saw one and Deron 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.720 Bland this year as a fifth round compick coming in 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:22.240 and having starter caliber play. It's not the norm. But Ky, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.640 the thing that you said that you blew right by 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:30.040 is Dallas' front office is going out and getting who 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.440 they want as they're not waiting. Right. My frustration over yeah, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.200 my frustration over the past years has been what they 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.400 want to discount double check, right, they want to sit around, 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.600 they get the leftovers, right, they see who else falls 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.360 through the cracks, who else is still laying around at 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.280 the crib. Yeah, let's go see what's out there. Let's 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.320 see if these guys still got some trid No, no, no. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.840 This year the approach is different. This year is like, 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.440 screw this. We're tired of waiting. Were one out. We 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.080 know what we want. We know the impact players that 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.120 we can get, that we can add them to our 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.720 roster in accomplish with the other guys that we have. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.560 And now all of a sudden, we're now, we're now 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.200 we're cooking with We're dog on fire. Right, defensively, you 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.600 add Gilmore. Now you got a three headed monster. You 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.960 got three ball hawks that are starting aft your cornerbacks. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.680 Don't forget Jordan, Yeah, yeah, jay Lewis hopefully hopefully you know, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.960 so we got but right off the back, you know 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.680 three three cornerbacks. Right, you got Gilmore, you got Traymond, 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.000 and you got Deron Bland. Those are all ball hawks. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.920 Those aren't just good defenders. Those are multi interceptions a 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.480 game possible. Guys. You have your you have all your sake, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.720 there's going to be a takeaway his competition there, and 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.160 he's like, yep, absolutely, you have all your safeties back. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.400 Right then you flip to the offensive side. Okay, now 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.600 you got a three hitted monster receiver. Gallup's gonna have 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.440 a full off season to get healthy. Case not gonna 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.280 be a question mark or whether or not he's gonna 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.000 be able to come back in time. He's gonna have 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.120 a whole offseason to get his confidence back. So you're 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.400 gonna have hopefully renewed Michael Gallup. You're gonna have a 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.200 CD Lamb, and you're gonna have a Cook's and that's 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.880 your three hitting monster receiver. Now now you're loading up. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.960 What did you lose by losing Zeke? Well, you you 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.840 lost a power back and you lost somebody that could 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.800 protect and pass protection. Well, guess what if you close 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.000 out of this deal like that that's proposed right now. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:04.920 Now all of a sudden, you have fulfilled that role. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.760 So now you're literally what you guys are saying, they're 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.800 plugging holes, but they're going out and getting it. They're 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.760 not waiting. I've never seen Dallas this aggressive in the 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.520 first what week, Yeah, first week and real quick and 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.560 out through it to you. And what makes this even 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.480 even more special is outside of acquiring Gilmore and Cooks, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.400 who have they signed from outside of the building yet? 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.080 Jones isn't on the books. He should be this this morning. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:30.840 He dogs not on the book, should be this morning. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.080 But put those twoth to decide for now. They've not 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.560 brought in anyone from outside the building as far as 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.920 unrestricted free agents yet, and they're still killing it in 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.240 free agents they are. That's I'm elated. I'm actually super 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.280 proud of this front office. Is two things off of that, 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.760 kind of going back to what you started with, how 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.680 many times did we sit on this show and we 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.160 saw Tampa Bay make a move, the Rams make a move, 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.000 Philly make a move, Chiefs make a move, and I'm like, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.200 oh man, I would have done that. I would have 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.640 made that move, whether it was a trade or were signing, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.440 I would have made that move. I would have done that. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.200 Have watched it? Yeah, the Cowboys we did that fifth 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.800 countless time? Correct? Now other teams are looking at the 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.160 Cowboys two straight times in the Gilmour who's your CB 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.680 two right now? Instantly? And then wide receiver two and 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.560 Brandon Cooks. And the thing about Brandon Cooks part of 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.639 it that I like is the expectations for Brandon Cooks 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.199 right now are not to come in and be Brandon 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.120 Cooks that was in Houston. You're asking him to come 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.240 in and be a solid number two, which you didn't have. 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.080 Michael Gallup was a below average number two in this 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.879 past season. But guess what, he's going to be a 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.400 solid number three, if if even a really good number three. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.000 But then you've got Brandon Cooks who's gonna be a solid, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.359 if even really good number two. And then you've got 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.520 a dog at Cede Lamb. Can you guys expel upon 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.560 what else they have done that hasn't made the headlines, 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.760 that's kind of went underneath the carpet in terms of 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.600 restructuring deals that's allowing them to make some of these 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.240 moves like that. Can you talk a lot of restructures 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.040 And they restructured Dak Prescott, which for those that are 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.320 asking that does not preclude a possible extension landing this year. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.280 That does buy the Cowboys time because they needed the 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.119 cap space immediately, especially knowing that they're not going to 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.879 get the cap relief from the Ezekiel Elliott release until 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.960 post tuned first anyway, So pull the trigger on Dak. 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.439 They pull the trigger on Zach Martin, pull the trigger 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.160 on Tyron Smith. That's the key. He's back as well. 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.080 Cowboys were able to rework his deal and it will. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.159 If you haven't seen the numbers, go check out a 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.640 Voice of the Star because I've retweeted the numbers from 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.639 Todd Archer. Shouts out to Todd Archer. Tyren Smith is 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.400 the consummate team guy. Go look at what the Cowboys 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.000 were able to do with his deal to keep him 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.119 in place. So Tyren Smith, that's more cap space. Michael Gallup, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.760 we talked about Gallop. He restructured. That's more cap space. 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.080 Cowboys rework Brandon Cooks. I mean they are freeing up 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.160 millions and millions of dollars. But more importantly, and this 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.440 is what's exciting to Isaiah and Kyl and myself and 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.760 a lot of the Cowboys fans, they're not doing this 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.800 to sit on the savings, which is what they typically 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.560 do because they like to roll over things from year 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.160 to year because you can roll over unusalary cop. They're 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.000 actually doing this in these moves to make moves, and 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.160 they're showing it every other day now. So not only 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.320 have they put themselves in a great position as we 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.840 go into only day two of the second week of 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.439 free agency. Typically you don't hear a meaningful move from 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.640 the Cowboys until the tertiary stages week three or free 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.280 agency week four. That's when they start, you know, doing 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.359 the salvation army. More hype is gone, right, but these 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.320 Cowboys are firing out of the gate. But here's what 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.600 makes it that much more San Francisco. Notwithstanding, because they 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.800 have gotten better, they are scary. Okay, the Eagles are 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.960 taking a step back while the Cowboys are taking it 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.879 stuff forward. Eagles just lost Gardner Johnson. Yeah, look at 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.199 this here. I've got nine names for you that the 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.480 Eagles have department to them. Big names. C J. Gardner Johnson, 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:01.120 that's the biggest one. Chavon Hargrave, that's huge, Miles Sanders, 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:06.040 t J. Edwards, Isaac Somalo because you're white, Marcus Epps, 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.920 and then both of their offensive and defensive coordinators. Yeah, 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.240 that's probably the biggest too. Honestly, but you hear that 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.520 though that's parody, come in a knocking. It doesn't mean 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.600 that the Eagles are going to be terrible. They should 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.000 probably take them. They loaded up for one year run, 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.679 but that not just like they have draft picks. They 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.719 didn't go to rams. They're gonna be picks and they 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.120 have funds. George Davis being one chops out to my dog. 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.239 But they have some younger guys that will probably step up. 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.280 And I'll say this again, I believe that parody will 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.800 arrive instantly for the Eagles, and that's why you have 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.080 to capitalize on these Super Bowl windows when you can. 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.080 I'm not saying that they're going to go out and 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.840 be trash next year. I put them at around ten wins. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.720 That's still gonna make them competitive. But there's no way 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.239 in my eye that you lose those that you've just 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.359 listed and you come away with another fourteen and three 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.919 or even a thirteen And it isn't isn't on the 0:20:54.920 --> 0:21:00.159 trade block? Two is got that work? Okay? So how 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.040 didn't have sales service when he was turning up? All right? 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.400 So Darius Slay was on the trade block and then 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:11.000 he was released but not officially released. So after the 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.160 news came out he was going to be released, Howe 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.080 Roseman stepped in and said no, we want to keep 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.560 you in, so they get him on a big money extension. However, 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.560 that big money extension took money away from what would 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.679 have been CJ. Gardner Johnson, So Gardner Johnson ends up right. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.880
